In the old State of Maine, when this cent s but a few years old, brides wore very primitive white silK caps at the altar, judging by the specimen on exhibition. In in the Isle of Man, a 17-year-old descendant of Barbara Standish wore a quaint little hat that attracts much attention. Mrs. Fish is exhibiting a cap worn by her grandmother, a member of the Knickerbocker family, 104 years ago. An exhibit in the shape of a bab hood, exquisitely wrought with solid silver lace and beautifully designed, is shown, which was worn by the early Dutch in the seventeenth century. A riding hat of .fifty vears ago would make the modern equestrienne wish to hide herself when she saw any of her fashionable friends coming. As near as possible 1t resembles a bean pot made of felt. The hideous nightcaps of two gen- erations ago would have scared off any modern burglar had he sighted one at the head of the stairs. Miss Grace M. Friend is the owner of a doll seventy years old, and there seems to be less difference between dolls of the beginning and end of this century than in the styles of their clothing. Another doll, dating from 1816, is dressed in beautiful embroid- ered clothes, all hand and tambour work. Its clothing is valued at many hundreds of dollars. It certainly must have been very hard to steal a kiss from a damsel in PR muscle dance to the music that obtains with the inventors. The boys' band re- mains, and the old favorites have added fresh touches to their act Jennie Yea- mans is the conspicuous figure for next week. CHARLOTTE THOMPSON. —_——————— ALLEGED SCANDAL IN OIL. Rumor of Rottenness in Government Contracts Is Circulated. The charge has been unofficially made that the Government has been paying more for the ofl necessary to lubricate the machinery in the army transports than is warranted by the prices ruling in the market. No proof, other than an in terview with a local dealer, who has been unsuccessful in securing another con- tract, has been submitted, That Inter- view is from Charles M. Yates of Yates % Co., which firm furnished ofl at 60 cents a gallon for the transports Han- cock, Grant and Sherman, the Standard Ofi Company now having the contract at 32 cents a gallon. In that interview he safd: 1 am not going to make any charges about the trouble over the oll we furnished the traneport Hancock. There was a complaint made to the quartermaster's department and I went to see Colonel Long at once. It appears that the chief engineer said in a report that the oll was too light for the heavy machinery of that vessel. That ig a matter which could easily be rectified, and I so explained to Colonel Long. I heard no more after that, but I see we did not get any more contracts. In fact, the next thing I heard was that the Standard Oll Company had been successful In securing a contract for 1000 barrels, mone or less” as the tenders read, at 32 cents a gallon. Colonel Long, the head of the quarter- master's department, refuses to make any statement on the matter, as does W. &, 'Miiler, representing the Standard Ofi Company. It is said, however, that the new contract, which Yates did not get Was let openly after an impartial test of "BARN-DOOR FOWLS Anp OSTRICAE ARE NOT EXEMPT..

The hats worn at that period by young women resemble con- certi and can be drawn out nearly two feet in front of the face, and are made to fasten in front, as well as in the back, with ribbons. In explaining this hat Mrs h remarks to visitors that with hoopskirts and concertina hats it would seem as if the arms and lips of the wooers of a century ago t have been more far reaching those of the lovers of to-day. o extension hats of 1790 are the rty of Mrs. Chamberlain of prox Berkeley. Mrs. A. J. Stevens has several inter- esting exhibits, among them a boy’s cap of 1860, that would be indignantly pooh-poohed by any young gentleman of 1899, Mrs. F. B. Ginn is the owner of a hat box made in 1800. The hat at that time must have been about six inches high and about three feet in diameter, judging by the dimensions of the box required to carry one of them. There are also on exhibition South Sea hats, Chinese hats, Japanese hats and crea- tions of various climes and ages that would not be recognized as hats ex- cept for the ticket pinned on for the enlightenment of visitors, AP NPT G SO R RN M R T R T mong the exhibitors are Mrs. A. H. Babcock, Mrs. Field, Mrs. Little, Mrs. Osgood, Mrs. Benton, Mrs. W. E. Sharon, Mrs. Walter Matthews and () Mrs. O. H. Burnham. Mrs. L. S. Bur- chera and Mrs. Titus have supervised the decorations, and Mrs. George W. Percy has attended to the historic sec; tion of the exhibit. Miss Grace S s AR French, Mrs. Derby, Miss Pope, Miss Munsell and Mrs. Nusbaumer were In attendance in ancient costumes. Besides the hat of history there is also the hat of commerce. While a couple of tables contain hats, every one of which signifies a chapter of the past, It requires a dozen tables to set off modern creations in head- gear. Judging by these specimens, the ostrich feather is not forbidden by the rules of the Audubon Club. There were also some specimens of the dainty little hats of date September, ’89, whose sole ornament consists of a solitary quill feather varylng in length from one to three feet. Perhaps, after all, the handsomest hats in the show were those worn by the ladles of the Ebell, who gathered around the exhibits and cheerfully ex- plained to visitors the various rami- fications of hatology. Which would the of seem to prove that beauty headdress depends to a large extent on the superior beauty of the fea- tures it surmounts. The exhibition will be kept open. to- morrow afternoon.

HER HOME-MADE REMEDY NEARLY DROVE HIM MAD Pantoskey Answers His Wife’s Charges. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 98 Broadway, Sept. 19. The sensational charges of cruelty and intemperance made by Rica Pantoskey against her husband, Herman Pantoskey, in her suit for the recovery of $75 month- ly for her maintenance and support, have been met in an interesting and amusing answer and cross-complaint defendant this afternoon through his at- torney, D. Mitchell After denying each and” every specific charge of inflicting grievous bodily in- jury and mental suffering upon the plain- tiff, or that he reviled her with the ap probrious name of ‘“thief” and “igno- ramus,” and that she is destitute of means, the aged defendant avers that while he is possessed of some real estate, it is mortgaged for and that his place of business is worth not over $I: He denies that he has money on deposit in banks, or thdt he has any intention of disposing of earthly goods. He denies also that there was any necessity of bringing the suit, except for the pur- pose of Rica’s “personal gain, revenge and aggrandizement.” For his second de- 1 e Pantoskey alleg hat he Is T yea ments, and therefore it % ertised necessity that he should take some one to : and care for him in his age and infirm S. “That piaintiff Ri home or means of being without a ipport and learning of Herman's supposed weaith and great- ness, ‘came from afar’ not laden with her jewels and precious stones, as she had previously me with her uncle, and she the d him her love, heart and hand and became his bride in Jan- uary, 1849; and as a dutiful wife prom- ised to love, honor and obey and to care. fully nurse defendant’s property and per: son. But said plaintiff has not kept said promise, but has willfully broken and de- parted therefrom. The cross-complaint further alleges that in February la the bride of one short month, ‘“‘upon learning that defendant was much indebted, requested that he shouid turn over to her all his property and thereby defeat his creditors, and also simultaneously demanded that her adult son, Simon Bendit (an inmate of a hou of correction for felony), should on his r lease therefrom comé 'and reside plaintifft and defendant in their home in Oakland, and that he be by defendant supported and establi although he is able-bodied, aged 27 years, and well able to care for himself.” bout the same time, according to the cro! ymplaint, “Rica demanded a large sum of money with which to release her jewelry alleged to be pawned in San Fra cisco by her or her son Simon.” Herman Vigorous refusal to meet these demands resulted in the wife becoming aggressive, appointed and insulting until she finally filed by the | hed in their home, | | | | | with | ‘Moreover, and wished he pointed to the ground for his death and prayed that he would endure everlasting suffering here and hereafter. * * * Then plaintiff threat- ened to therefrom hate, vex, leave and abandon defendant.” Another complaint of Herman is “that last Juna, when he was suffering from a wounded head and otherwise, plaintiff ad- ministered to him a so-called rgmedy med- icine ‘of her own make' that so disas- trously affected him in mind and body as to drive him partly insane and unaccount- able for his actions.” In conclusion, the aged defendant de- clares that he always abundantly supplied Rica with every comfort and kindness and money necessary in their station of life, and that even since she deserted him he has repeatedly requested her to return and share his home and happiness with him, but instead she continues “to live apart from him and their home, with the object of coercing from him by her aétion means to establish another home. out of this ccunty for herself and her said convict son Simon, and all at defendant’s cost and possible ruin in the premises.” Mr. Pantoskey accordingly asks that he go hence dismissed, with costs. ———— Marriage Licenses Issued.

Coroner Hill Issued a Warrant for the Arrest of Dr. Kohl and Mrs. Dr. Kohl. Coroner Hill issued a warrant yesterday morning for the arrest of John Doe and Jane Doe on a charge of manslaughter, the victim being Mrs. Katie Walsh, who died at the Brunswick House on Sixth street last Monday morning from the ef- fects of a criminal operation. The testimony brought out the fact that Mrs. Walsh had been furnished pills by | Mrs. Dr. Kohl of 1122 Market street and that Mr. Dr. Kohl, her husband, was | called in afterward to save the patient life, which he failed to do. The jury however, brought in a verdict to the ef- | ct that the deceased came to her death it the hands of parties unknown to the jury. A ‘'subpena had been issued for the Kohls to attend the inquest and testify the case, but they could not be found. Coroner Hill informed the jurors that! he could not approve of their verdict. | “The evidence is sufficient to show that | the deceased obtained the medicine from | Mrs. Dr, Kohl,” he said. | The warrant was placed in the hands of | the police, with instructions to arrest Dr. | Kobl and Mrs. Dr. Kohl. The name of | the latter is found in the medical register under the heading of illegal practitioners, DEER PARK AS AN INSPIRATION OR PROPOSALS Millionaire Tells How He Was Wooed. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Sept. 19. John Nicholl, the aged Alameda County capitalist, took the stand in his own be- half this afternoon in Judge Ogden’s court and offered testimony whigch hos attorneys are confident will squash Miss Hodge breach of promise suit. Previous to put- ting Nicholl on the stand McKee made his opening statement to the jury, in which he affirmed that the defense, among other things, expected to prove that Nicholl is and mentally much enfeebled. McKee's client did not make good of his attorney's state- ment. Physically the old man is not in good condition. The heavy stick he car- ries is not a matter of fashion, but of Mr the mental end necessity. He hobbled up to the witness stand and his whole bearing plainly | showed his 77 years. Physicaily he is weak, but it is an injustice to the vigor- o old man to speak of feeble-minded- n Mr. Nicholl needed no prompting to remember dates nor figures, nor conver- sation, nor the contents of lette: he either received or dictated. He has a good memory and a sound brain, and he showed it in spite of his counsel. According to his story, he did not woo and win Miss Hodge. he courted him and got his consent, on conditions, to wed her. “On 10th of November,” the wit- ness said, “I took Miss Hodge out riding, ‘We went out Fourth avenue to the top of the ridge, east to Thirteenth street, on tc Diamond Canyon and past the Dingee place. We stopped alongside the place and looked over and through the fence at some aeer there. Then she said, ‘I have an old dear alongside me in the buggy.’ Previous to that she had been hugging up to me and calling me darling. During the ride Jane talked of s. Boyd,” | Nicholl went on to explain, “and of her | property. from her so as to get the Washington street property. ‘If Aunty Boyd should die without a wi she said, ‘it would be a year before anything could be done, and Guring that time she (Jane) would have no home. It was while dolefully reflecting upon her homeless_condition ‘that Miss Hodge proposed to Nicholl. The lady wasted no endearing terms, but stated her case clearly and said: “If you would take me | over to your home I would make it so pleasant vou would be astonished.” “But the girls?" said the old man she was pro- posing to; “they will probably kick.” Tl see the girls,” Miss Hodge. “All right id Nicholl t the consent of the girls—otherwisé no.” Miss Hodge did not get the consent of the girls. On the ith of December,” testified Nicholl, “I went to see Jane. my datghter, Mrs. Wilson, was making such a fuss about the engagement and saying she was ashamed of me and ashamed of Jane. ‘If they are kicking so much,’ she said, ‘it is all off and you can go and tell the girls.’ " Mr. Nicholl on his cross-examination showed that he had come to California in She said the Griffin crowd was | striving to win the affection of Mrs, Boyd | I told her | | B M Lelong, Washington [Mrs St Mrs Bell, shington [Miss F | € 8 Hollow N Y W J C | Miss L Barron, 1854 and first located near Haywards. There he remained for two years and in 1857 settled in Contra Costa, where he re- mained for forty years. He also testified that he was a stockholder in the John Nicholl Company, incorporated with a capital stock of $400,000, and of which he owns shares valued at $399,200. ‘The morning session was given over to the cross-examination of Miss Hodge, who stuck closely to the story she told in di- rect examination. Mrs. Charles N. Berry testified she knew of the engagement of Nicholl and Miss Hodge, that she had gone out with Miss Hodge to purchase her wedding outfit. Mr. Berry heard the announcement of the engagement on November 12. Mrs. Boyd told him, sayi ‘Guess who is going to get married. Mrs. Ruth A. Bovd testified that the Nicholl girls had sent for her and told her of their father's engagement to Miss Hodge, saying they would rather have him marry her than a stranger. Mrs. Kate Griffin also heard of the en- gagement and noticed in Mr. Nicholl con- duct becoming an engaged man. The case will go on to-morrow. — e HOTEL ARRIVALS. GRAND HOTEL.
