BOARDMAN | Declares Him the Victim of the Cupidity of Two Women. DEAD ACTRESS ' Orders New Trial in Breach-of-Prom- ise Suit, After Stating That the Capitalist Is More Senile | Than Ardent. —_— Aged Joseph Boardman, the Oakland capitalist, will be given another opportu- nity to prove that he was not the ardeot but fickle wooer of Mrs. Elizabeth Glad- | stone, a two-time widow, of Green street. | In a breach of promise suit instituted by | Mrs. Gladstone a jury recently found a verdiot in her favor and against Board- man for $25,000 damages. Judge Hunt has | intervened, however, between Mrs. Glad- stone and her enjoyment of the sum al- lowed her by the jury and in an opiniou | handed down yesterday, in which ths | court expresses its doubts as to the merit of the old lady's claim, a new trial of the tion is ordered. 'he opinion is as fcllows: Mrs. Gladstone at the date of the alleged promise to marry was 62 years old and the defendant 74. The plaintiff had been twice married and had a family, of which seven members survived. Two of her children lived with her and yet, %0 far as the evidence dis- | | closes, she never revealed to either of them the | fact of her engagement. Neither does it ap- pear that she ever mentloned such engage- | ment to any of her friends, neighbors or, asso- clates, or to any person whatsoever. i Defendant’s former wife died on February 20, 1899, June 20, 1899, he married Blanche ‘Walker, a girl only 18 years old. The plain- tiff read of this marriage the following day end although she saw the defendant afterward | she never reproached him for his failure to keep the alleged promise, nor did she allude to such promise in any manner whatsoeve Aside from her own testimony there is no evi- dence that she made any preparation for | the wedding—no time for the nuptials was | fixed; no correspondence was had; no gifts were | given or exchanged. | " Bvidence to support the material fact of the promise was strangely lacking. while much testimony was offered on both sides relating to | matters of minor consequence, such, for in- | | stance, as the testimony of plaintiff’s daughter, | who was called to prove that defendant once | asked her to play on the piano “The Heart | Bowed Down,”” and that he had saild to her that a picture of her mother was a fine one. That this septuagenarian sultor should affect such pensive melody and sad sentiment as | Balfe's composition afforded seems inconsistent | with the blissful season of courtship; indeed, his entire conduct toward the plaintiff gives more evidence of senility than romantic ardor. | Subsequent to the marriage of Mr. Boardman {and his present wife Mrs. Gladstone calied | upon the defendant’s bride and congratulated | her upon her marriage in the presence of at | least two witnesses. The mother cf defend- | ant's present wife, Mrs. Walker, also testi- fled to the same effect; but in the consideration of the case I have utterly discarded her testi- mony because all the evidence herein serves to | show that she was a sordid woman—a woman who in consequence of the defendant's wealth | | was willing to wed a daughter 18 years old to | {an Infirm, decrepit and feeble man of over | | three score years ana ten. Mrs. Gladstone testified that she understood N. J., SAD scene will be enacted in the chapel at Odd Fellows’ Cemetery at 2 o'clock this afternoon. The parents and friends of the late Virginia Jackson, the beautiful Californian actress, will pay their last tribute to her memory. Her body will be incinerated and her ashes will be treas- ured by her bereaved mother. The ser- vices will be simple but impressive. The expressed wish of the young woman that her body be cremated will be carried out. Tears will be shed over her bier by rela- tiyes and friends, as she was beloved by all who knew her. The remains of the dead actress reached this city yesterday. From distant New Jersey, where she passed away, they were sent by the member: of her profession.

She passeds away peacefully, with a picture of her mother clasped to her breast and the last word she uttered was “Mama.” The body of the' favorite actress lay #n LANDLADY SHOT IT BY ROOMER Mrs. Wasson Disturbed at Her Work by the Zip of the Eullet. —— — Early yesterday morning a shot fired in Mrs. F. Wasson's lodging-house at 2l Third street, caused a great deal of ex- citement. The police investigated, but could find no clew to the disturber of the peace of the neighborhood. About - noontime Mrs. Wasson, while busily engaged with her many duties, was again startled by the report of a re- volver and the zip of a bullet very close to her head. Hastily looking up she saw B. Jerke, one of her lodgers, hanging out of his win- dow and smoke curling about his head. The shock was so great that she fainted, and it was not until last night at 11 o’'clock that she was able to compose her- self sufficlently to go to the police station and report the affair. 7 Officers were sent to the house, Jerke was arrested and lodged 1In the tanks pending further investigation by the police.

R LA BERLIN, Dec. 26.—In {ts yearly financial review, the Frankfurter Zeitung' points out that one of the most important facts of the last twelve months has been the growing influence of the United States upon the economic situation of Burope. “In the first months of ‘the year,” says the writer, “‘when German industries had not the remotest fear of reaction, it was the report from America regarding the tron market and the fear of flooding the German market with American manufac- tures that terrified our markets and agi- tated our bourses. This was the case even when there were no important changes in the business situation in the United States. In short, all the incldents indicating, however remotely, that coun- try’s competition were discussed in their bearings upon our business situation, and they thus became very important factors in determining the attitude of the German bourses ahd the quotations of securities. “Wall street quotations frequently are the standard for all other exchanges. The entrance of the United States into the ranks of creditor nations signifies a change in the times. Ever since the war with Spaln, the United States Govern- ment has pursued undeviatingly a world poliey of world conquest.

Ca- tarrh is well-nigh universal; almost om- nipresent. Pe-ru-na is the only absolute safeguard known. A cold is the begin- ning of catarrh. To prevent colds, tol cure colds, is to cheat catarrh out of fts victime. Pe-ru-na not only cures catarrh but prevents. Every household should be supplied with this great remedy for coughs, colds and so forth It will be noticed that the Governor savs he has not had occasion to use Pe-ru-na for other ailments. The reason for this is, most other ailments begin with a cold Using Pe-ru-na to promptly cure colds he protects his family against other ail- ments. This is exactly what every other family in the United States should do. Keep Pe-ru-na in the house. Use it for coughs. colds, la_grippe. and other clim- atic affections of winter, and there will be. no other allments in the house. Such families should provide themselves with a copy of Dr. Hartman's free book, entitled Vinter Catarrh. ess Dr. Hartman, Columbus, Ohio.
