Thomas Went- worth Higginson said ‘Shut me up in a dark room with a mixed multitude and ] can pick out the gentlefolks by their voices.,” In the compass of every voice there are three registers—the middie or throat, the lower or chest and the upper or head register. The use of the middle pitch for talking is very desirable, but the voice should be trained to slide up and down, varying with the emotions; low when the mood inclines toward seriousness and higher when it becomes tinged with excite- ment. An interesting speaker constant- ly changes his pitch—not abruptly, but with ease and skill; and the greater range one has the more certain he.is to get and retain the pleased attention of listeners. Our high-pitched, strident voices are sharply criticized, and it is quite within our power to change them. I confess to liking a bit of slang now end then from a young man’s mouth. It sounds racy, adds snap and spice if used judiciously, and a few of its terms are pithy and expressive; but when a girl uses slang it only sounds common. ‘What is becoming to one sex is not necessarily so to the other. When we see a woman who laughs and talks loudly in public places we put a severe strain upon our charity and judgment not to think her vulgar. When to the conventfonal “How do you do?”’ she replies “Fine!” we know on just what rung of the social ladder to put her.— Success. —_———— ‘Want a Washable Bible. In the quest of a “washable” Bible, for use in the London police courts, attention has been called to a water- proof cloth, an admirable imitation of leather. Mr. Labouchere, in Truth, makes the sensible suggestion that if a proper “washable” cloth can be found, its use be not confined to Bibles, but to historical romances and books that are read. Mr. Labouchere thinks especially washable bindings could be advantageously used in free circulat- not such also in private libraries and why not, furthermore, & washable pa- per, so that the books could be washed inside and out? Then, perhaps, read- ing might be made sanitary, and sani- tary we must be. Also, if washable bindings are used In pubdlic lbraries, laundries will need to be attached and Mr. Carnegie will thus have opened up to him another way for getting rid of his money. Housekeepers, however, would probably be found: lined up against washable bindings, sanitary or unsanitary, which would mean an ex- tra laundress and new terrors to house cleaning.—New York Globe. ————— s Bad Words Beginneth.

There is now a crematory in operation, and it is the purpose of the Board of Health no long- er to put up with conditions such as have obtained in the past.

HEROIC WORK AVERTS LOS Prompt Action of Employes Prevents Terrible Disaster at Pinole Powder Works Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 28. The heroic action of the engineer of a little compressed air locomotive, as- sisted by a number of the employes, was all that prevented a terrible explo- sion of dynamite this evening at the works of the California Powder Works at Pinole. During the fire, which de- stroyed the gun cotton department, half a dozen freight cars loaded with dynamite were standing on a side track close to the gun cotton building, and when the structure caught fire the flames spread so rapidly that there was little time to move the cars. The little compressed air engine was coupled on, and just in time the train load of dynamite was whisked away to a safe distance. Many empty cars were standing on the same siding and an attempt was made to save them, but the heat was so great that it was impossible and they were burned with the building. The gun cotton department was burned to the ground and a lot of valuable machinery was destroyed. The total loss will amount to about $25,000.

The litigation that has lasted for a decade over the estate of Thomas Var- ! ney of Livermore is ended. Superior Judge Seawell of San Francisco, who heard the case because of the disquali- fications of the Alameda Judges for lone cause or another, rendered a decis- [ien to-day in which he decided that [ entitled to a distribution of about $300,- 000 of property. This leaves about $25,- 000 still tied up to pay annuities aggre- gating $225 a month. In this decision | the heirs have won as against the trus- tees, who have maintained that the trust intended that the entire estate should be held together until the last of the three annuitants died. The case has been a notable one. Thomas Varney died at Livermore and left as the trustees of his will John Taylor, H. H. Pitcher and Thomas H. B. Varney, his nephew. Taylor and Pitchér are both dead, the latter shoot- ing himself at the crisis of the litiga- tion. Thomas H. B. Varney has re- signed as a trustee, and the California Title Insurance and Trust Company Is the sole trustee now of the estate. Charges of fraud and the extraor- dinary actions taken in order to keep the case from coming to trial made it a matter of wide general interest. Var- ney was the founder of the Livermore Bank and Pitcher was cashier. The as- sets of the estate now consist’of all of the stock of the.bank, the Garcia ranch property, valued at $100,000, and 1450 shares of the Kennedy Mining and Milling Company, in all valued at $325,- As an i{ssue growing out of the suit an accounting was called for from the trustees. According to the present set- tlement the estate of John Taylor turns back 1000 shares of the Kennedy Min- ing and Milling Company's stock into the estate and ten shares of the Liver- more Bank stock. Thomas H. B. Var- ney turns back seventy shares of the bank stock, and Judge Seawell has de- cided that 450 shares of the Kennedy Mining and Milling Company and ten shares of the bank stock claimed by Pitcher's estate but held by the bank belong to the Varney estate. The annuitants are Frances Raleigh, who receives $100 a month; Harriet A. Loomis, who gets $50 a month, and Mrs. Emily Brownell, who receives $75 a month Fifteen heirs of the estate have been represented by Attorneys Bighop & Wheeler and A. J. Treat. The estate of John Taylor has been repre- sented by Attorney W. S. Goodfellow. The decision was rendered in accord- ance with an agreement entered into with the representatives of the original trustees in regard to the amounts to be turned back by them into the estate. According to Attorney Treat this set- tlement is on the same basis as was of- feréd them seven years ago, but was declined. —_—————— Marriace Ticenses.

" Thomas Captain IN DEEP POOL Fatal Trap in Old Blair Quarry, Near Piedmont, Claims Youthful Vietim PLAYMATES Ten-Year-Old George Ruth- erford Drowns in Sight of His Four Companions Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, May 28 Within plain sigh of four school- mates, who were unable to render any aid, ten-year-old George Rutherford, son of Willlam H. Rutherford, a well- known blacksmith of this city, sank to his death this afternoon in the waters of a pool in the old Blair quarry near Piedmont. By the time his companions, horrified by the fatgy of their playmate, had secured help no trace of the boy was to be seen, and it was only after a long search that the body was finally recovered. Young Rutherford, accompanied by Ned Eichler, Theodore Moore and twa other boys, all about the same age, went out to the quarry this afternoon to go in swimming. After they had paddled about in the water for some time they climbed upon an old raft and pushed it out into the deeper water. The raft, overweighted, began to sink, and the boys le a scramble for the bank. All got safely ashore but Ruther- ford, who was thrown from the raft into a deep pool from which he could not escape. His playmates were un- able to reach him and saw him strug- gle In vain to reach the bank. After he had disappeared they ran for help. G. W. Burr and A. R. Serimgeour, both of whom are employed by the Oakland Paving Company, which con- trols the quarry, dragged the pond for several hours, finally recovering the body at 8 o'clock .this evening. They at once brought it to the morgue in Oakland. The parents of the victim of the sad accident reside at 2215 Andover street. —_———————— REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS. Alameda County. FRIDAY, MAY 27.
