San Francinco Paper Doe Hot Think It In KeeiInjr WItU tlic 31 nn llusincisK IlnliltM. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. S. Referring to the wilt of the late James G. Fair, the Examiner says: "If Mr. Fair was in sound mind when he made this extraordi nary will he had undergone one of the most remarkable mental transformations In htetory. That this cold, suspicious man of bstaes, who was accustomed to boast that he trusted nobody, should suddenly repose unlimited ccnfWence in a few clerks, whom he had known for only a few years, and had rever taken Into Inti rrate relations, argues an astonishing rhange of heart. As matters stand now. only certain beneficiaries under the will are the executors. Ihey have permanent talaries and enormous fees, with no obli gation to furnish any security whatever for the faithful execution of their trust. Nobody will question their Kood faith, but they certainly deserve congratulations on receiving from their employer in death a mark of confidence that was never ex tended to them in life. The impression left on the public mind by the singular affair is that either age and disease had impaired Mr. Fair's faculties, or that he sat down in pure malignity to draw a will that would cause as much trouble and as little satisfaction to his heirs as possible. We trust that his course may not become a precedent. Public policy demands that great estates shall be divid ed, to be managed by those who Inherit them according to their own judgment and at tneir own risk. "We want no nur sery of huge fortunes in America." To Set Aside II in Father' Will. SAN JOSE, CaL, Jan. 3. A jury was completed last night in the Barron will case, and the trial proceeded this morn ing. Attorney Delmas, for the contestant, George Edward Barron, who seeks to set set aside his father's will, having been left but the income on $100,000, while his young step-mother, who was the third wife of Millionaire Barron, was be queathed most of the property, valued at 51.SOO.000. said the pleadings stated but two facts which were material to the jury, namely: That the testator was of unsound mind, and that undue influence was used when the will was made. Del mas contended that the reading of the voluminous pleading was unnecessary Leib, for the widow, said the pleadings contained specific charges which were very material to the jury, and the court ordered them read. This will occupy most of the day's session. IT GIVES SATISFACTION. The Appointment of Receiver for the Riverside Water Company. RIVERSIDE, CaL. Jan. 3. The dis patches sent over the wires regarding the appointment of a receiver of the Riverside Water Company are without foundation, po far as they represent tjic community to be in a condition of great excitement over the matter. The people, generally, are pleased over the appointment, since a receiver was inevitable. Several at torneys representing claims against the company seem the only ones deeply con corned over the matter. That an effort will be made by these to reverse the ac tion taken is very likely, but it is not generally believed that it will be success ful. The facts are that the company had been notified by those holding large claims that no further extension of time would be granted, and that failing to make payment, action to compel settle ment would be instituted. Under the present financial conditions, the disposal of bonds dde seemed out of the question. In the event of the appointment of a receiver by a Unltod States 'court In tho interest of a single creditor, and. possibly, at a salary of $500 a month for merely nomlnul serv lees, as was the case recently with the Southern California motor case, it was feared that great injury would io sult to all other interests. These arc the reasons for the action taken by the direc tors, who know best the details of the company's affairs and whose motives are, beyond question, to guard general and not particular Interests. The company's assets and revenues are ample to meet all claims, and nobody here has the least doubt of a satisfactory outcome of the affairs in competent and friendly hands, as thej will be under George Frost's man agement. A BIG SALE. An Arirona Irrigation Compnnj'.n Property Intlcr the Hammer. PHOENIX. Ariz., Jan. 3. Today was sold by the receiver, under order of the court, the property of the Gila Bend Irri gation & Reservoir Company, the succes sor of the Peoria Canal Company & Ari zona Construction Company, a kindred association. The entire property was bid in by C. Crowley, of Los Angeles, a mem ber of the firm that did the greater por tion of the construction work on the canal, to whom was due over $100,000. The property brought $185,600. to which must be added $125,000 In receivers' certificates. The sale is a final one. succeeding a long course of litigation, and is without the right of redemption. It Is worth, at the least calculation. 51.500.000. embracing a great dam dit the Gila river. 30 miles be low Phoenix, 40 miles of main canal, cap able of irrigating 30.000 acres, and SO miles of laterals. The canal cost more than $1,00(1,000. Tho capital was mainly fur nished by Gteenhut and other members of the whisky trust at Peoria, 111., who, today, allowed a forfeiture of all their rights. The new owners are now forming a company, and will soon take charge of the canal, which is full of water and in perfect shape. OTHER FIA.VXCIAL. EWS. Claims He Was Drunk. VISALIA, Cal Jan. 3.

HATTIE BELL SUNKJ Steamer Ran on a, Snas: In the Colnm Iila River. The Washougal & La Camas Trans portation Company is having a streak of bad luck. The steamer lone sank above Vancouver last month and was brought here and put on the ways. She was just in trim for business, when the other boat of the line, the Hattie Bell, fouled with a snag and was rendered unfit for service. The last accident happened on Monday, at the head of Lady island, about 30 miles from this city. The boat was on her way to Washougal with a small lot of freight and about half a dozen passengers. When it was found she was leaking, she was immediately beached on the island, where she now rests with her stern low in the water, but her engine-room dry- The pas sengers were taken to the mainland In a small boat. The lone was sent up yester day with tackle and material for raising the boat, and the Hattie Bell will be brought to Portland Immediately before the ice closes in around her. me lone also took a full load of freight for Wash ougal, and it is believed she will be able to push her way up through the ice and return to Lady island this morning. Tne agent of the line in this city could not tell the extent of the Hattie Bell's dam- ase. The BnbeocU Libeled. The American ship Babcock, now load ing wheat at Tacoma, was libeled for $5000 Wednesday in the United States dis trict court by William Purchase, the sailor who escaped from the vessel Christmas day and sought police protection, alleg ing that the ship's officers had treated him inhumanly on the voyage up from San Francisco. Purchase asks $3000 dam ages for personal injuries alleged to have been sustained on the voyage. The hear ing was set for January 23, in the court there. Off Seal Roclc Llsht. Captain Allen, of the steamer Crescent City, on her last trip from San Francisco to Del Norte, said that while lying off the Seal rock lighthouse, he experienced the rojghest weather that he had seen since he commenced to run on this coast. Large seas coming aboard carried away some of her rail and flooded the kitchen. At the lighthouse the sea broke on the rock, throwing spray over the top of the light tower, which is about 170 feet high. Marine Xotes. Tho steamer Signal will sail for British Columbia Saturday. The wheat-laden ship Scottish Glens, which has been anchored at St. John, starts down the river this morning. The steamer Modoc leaves today for Harrisburg, one day ahead of schedule time, on account of the rise in the river. The Harland, which arrived up a few days ago. Is still in the stream, but will soon dock at Greenwich. She has part general cargo. The Standard is idle at the foot of Couch street. The nature of her cargo is such that It is not safe to discharge it during the prevailing weather. The Upper Willamette Is rising at the rate of four Inches an hour, according to reports received by the Oregon Railway & Navigation Company from points south of Salem. The rise here Is very slow but will be greater In a day or two. It will not only be of benefit to up-river naviga tion, but will materially help shipping at this point. Domestic nuil Forelsrn. Ports.

Marquise Nathilde de Grevllle, widow of General de Grevllle, who, as a member of staff, was killed In Mexico in the Franco-Mexican war, died In abject poverty In her comfortless apart ments, 1330 Franklin avenue, Sunday, and was burled yesterday in St. Raymond's cemetery in Westchester. The expense of her funeral was borne by Miss Julia Cooper, niece of the late Peter Cooper. Mme. de Grevllle has been more or less dependent for five years upon Miss Cooper and her friends. The mother of the de ceased woman was a direct descendant of Louis XVI, and her father of a royal Bel gian family, one of the sons of which was at one time chief advisor to the king of Belgium. Mme. de Grevllle was born In London 74 years ago, and when 14 was pre sented at the French court, where she met her husband. After the death of her hus band, who was decorated for bravery on the field by Napoleon III. Mme. Grevllle settled In Cuba, where she lived on the little money left her by her husband. Fifteen years ago she came to this city, and for five years she and her daughter, who is 43 years of age, have endeavored to support themselves by curling feathers, but the mother's failing health made it impossible. The daughter has among a number of relics of Napoleon HI, a piece of his court coat. After the Cotton Belt Robbers. LITTLE ROCK, Ark., Jan. 2.

"Well," she said, with an I-told-you-so air, "if you had been brave, and got up and shot the wretch, you would have had your rnonoy this morning." "Possibly, my dear, possibly," he said, gingerly, "but I would have -been a wid ower." She laughed softly then, and gave, half of it to him. The action of Carter's Little.

A Close Secret Order of One Hundred Men Formed to Protect Lives and Property. SACRAMENTO, CaL. Jan. 3. The ex citement prevailing In this city during the past week has ended in the organization of a vigilance committee consisting of 108 men. Just what these men Intend doing canost be learned, as they have formed themselves Into a close secret order. The meeting, the early part of which was pub lic, was held In the old pavilion in this city, at 2 o'clock, and was in session near ly three hours. After the election of tem porary officers, the assemblage began work. The first thing was the appoint ment of a committee of five to draft res olutions. While this committee was out. a number of prominent men. several of whom were ministers, addressed the peo ple. Charles A. Beesley, a relative of the murdered Webbers, called attention to what he called a reign of terror, and said it must be stopped and stopped without any red tape. C. M- Harrison, an old resident and ex-school director, said that the time had come to act and to show the world that Sacramento could take care of herself In a crisis. Rev. Charles Banks, of the Ninth-street Baptist church, of which the Webbers t ere mem bers, said: "There is not a man's house nor a man's life safe in this city today, and we must change this condition and change it now." B. S. Lawson, a pioneer, said that these things would not have been allowed in 1&49, and that they must not be allowed now; that a committee must be appointed that will act, and that he knew that a body of men would be selected that would know what to do. The committee report, which was read to the assemblage and adopted, contained a clause calling for 100 volunteers for special work; those who wanted to be members of the chosen 100 handed in their names on strips of paper; 1455 of these names were placed on file. The chairman, rising to dismiss the meeting, said: "The executive committee, which was appointed by me, will select 100 names from those handed in, and those" selected will be called upon to meet with us in secret and form a plan of action. Now gentlemen, go home to your wives and tell them to rest without fear. For just as sure as tomorrow's sun will rise, a secret organization will go forth into this city that will completely wipe out the criminal element in our city." There is much uneasiness felt by the criminals now In the county jail in this city. H. J. Palmer, who was convicted of the murder of Charles Phleger about three months ago, and was In jail awaiting the result of a motion for a new trial, at his own request was taken to San Quentin. The reason for this was that his friends told him he had better lose no time in going, as an attack on the jail might occur at any time. The two Strybc brothers, who were sentenced to 30 years for the murder and robbery of an old man two years ago, are now In jail here. They were brought back from the peni tentiary and given a new trial, which re sulted in their receiving a sentence of a few years. They are making efforts to be taken out of the city immediately. There are also many other minor crim inals in the jail who are greatly fright ened. The greatest quiet prevailed throughout this city after midnight, and as far as can be learned no attempts at robberies or acts of violence have been reported. Every block in the city was carefully pa trolled, and all men found on the streets after midnight who could not give a good account of themselves were taken to the city prison and locked up. Members" of the so-called industrial army are holding meetings in a basement room on K street; they have been warned to leave. They declare positively that they will not do so. Thier meeting place is used as sleeping quarters at night, and nearly 200 men apply there every night for accommodations. Many of these are known thieves, and the people of this city are determined that the army must go. At a meeting of the city board of trus tees today it was ordered that all saloons be closed at midnight, and not allowed to open until 6 o'clock in the morning; that the licenses of numerous disreputablo re sorts be revoked, and that all known criminals and tramps be driven from the city by the police authorities. The arrest of every man who has no visible means of support was ordered. POLITICAL DISPUTES. Probably a. Fatal Firrlit Over nn Election in Georgia. BLAKELEY, Ga., Jan. 3. The election yesterday was the occasion of a serious shooting affray at Colquitt, Miller county, which was precipitated by. J. A. Bush's knocking a man named Kambrell down after a heated altercation, whereupon Charlie and Burrell Kambrell drew their pistols and began firing on Bush from opposite directions at a distance of about 10 paces. Bush was hit in three places, and the wounds are expected to prove fa tal. The Kambrells escaped without seri ous injury- The parties are brothers-in-law, and are prominent in local affairs. Popnllst Killctl a- Democrat. GRIFFIN, Ga., Jan. 3. Last night at Concord, Joe Johnson, a white populist, shot and instantly killed Pink Smith, a white democrat. The tragedy was the re sult of a political dispute, directly charge able to intoxication. Two shots were fired at Smith, one taking effect in the hip joint, and the other passing through his heart. Johnson was immediately ar rested. A DAYLIGHT ROBBERY The Police, However, Do Not Think It Wan One. CINCINNATI, O., Jan. 3. A daylight robbery of the postoffice today is puzzling the police. Assistant Postmaster Sparks was discovered at 2 o'clock, unconscious, on the floor, by the janitor. The money drawer was short SSG7, but $5000 in en velopes, for carriers' wages, and the con tents of the vault were untouched, al though the door was open. Sparks says that when his associates were at lunch two men entered and asked for some change. When his back was turned, they struck him with steel knuckles until he fainted. The watchman in the corridor saw no such men and the police doubt that there was a robbery. Sparks had to make a settlement today and it is sus pected that he was short in his cash. The WAund on his head is believed to be the result of contact with the iron door of the vault, and not a blow from steel knuckles. If the robbery is genuine in such a central location, it was mysteri ously executed. A NEW YEAR'S RESOLVE. TUe People of Murray Comity, Cs-t "Will Tnra Over n. Xctt Leaf. DALTON, Ga.. Jan. 3. Over in the mountains of Murray county, at Spring Place, the county seat, there was a nota ble meeting .yesterday. It was composed principally of citizens charged with the recent vrhltecap outrages or with member ship la the regulators' organization. Peo ple from various parts of the county were there. Ex-Representative A. K. Harnsay presided, and said that the meeting had been called to take cognizance of the re cent troubles In the county. The first speaker was the Rev. S. H. Henry, who has been preaching In that neighborhood for 40 years. Ho advised the people to make up their minds to leave the making of whisky alone, declaring this to be the J sn-fwt vl which rested unon the county, i Hon. Vf. J. Peeoles. cx-representatlve of the county, admitted that there hav been 1 serious troubles in -the county, but ds- clarefl that Murray county was not re sponsible for half 'that1,was charged tip to It, and all advised all who have been mak ing whisky to quit. r&b had asked those who would do so to arise in their seats. In response to tne request there was a general uprising, and every one seemed to promise that he' would not only never Indulge in the Illicit 'work, but that he would do all in his power tc put it down. Hon. S. Berry and Daltdn spoke, too, ad vising all to do as Mr. Henry requested. After this speech came a series of resolu tions acknowledging that there had been great wrong done.antr adding: "We, the representative citizens of Mur ray county, in mass meeting assembled this 1st day of January, 1S95, do severally condemn such acts of, violating the law, and we heartily agree as men and citizens to do all in our pqwer to aid the authori ties In suppressing euch outlawry." . As soon as the meeting adjourned the people began leaving town, and in a short time the place was deserted. There Is no doubt that much, illicit whisky is made here. None of the people of Murray coun ty deny it. SOCIETY PLAYS. Generally Admitted to Be AVhnt the Average Man Calls Nasty. Milwaukee Sentinel. The London Times has opened its col umns to a discussion of "society plays, ' which are supposed to include "John O'Dreams," Mr. Haddon Chambers' new drama, and pieces like "The Second Mrs. Tanqueray" and "The Crust of Society." The occasion of this discussion is the first mentioned drama, wiiose title role Mr. Beerbohm Tree Is now playing at the Hay market. It seems to be admitted on all sides that these "society plays" are nearly all what the average man would call nasty, and though Mr. Tree and his allies do not admit the aptness of this adjective they admit the presence of the quality which it is supposed- to describe. They defend this quality in lofty terms. "All art is clean," says one, "or else it ceases to be art." "I think-lt monstrous," says another, a clergyman, who is acquainted with the author of ''John O'Dreams," that people should see so much evil in "what I happen to know Is the serious effort of a man 'to inspire the public toward the true and the best." The battle Is waged quite as stoutly upon the other side. "The mat ter lies in a nutshell," says one of Mr. Tree'sadverse critics. "The modern mum mer is nothing if not commercial, and this highly artistic gentleman has discov ered that a dirty drama pays better than a clean one." Another, assuming it to be true that "all art is clean, or else it ceases to be art," makes the following deduc tions: "Every drama is pure, or else it ceases to be a drama: all meat is fresh and untainted, or else It ceases to be meat." This seems to us a little unjust on both sides. The actor who talks about the mission of art has in most cases to make a living out of his mission, and might as well acknowledge that he will undertake very little missionary work that will hurt his own pocket. At the same time he has no positive preference for "dirty drama." If he could find the same skill and the same power to please the public in "young person" plays he would just as soon pro duce them. But with the playwrights the case is different. Why do they persist In choosing subjects which are not talked about In mixed company? Leaving aside the small fry, who take no interest In their work except as a money-getter, we may select from the living the most distin guished English playwright and one of the most distinguished Frenchman. Why do Mr. Pinero and M. Dumas so persistently mention the unmentionable? Not from a base desire to please large crowds, no mat ter by what means. Mf. Pinero, we be lieve, has no natural predilection for these subjects and chooses them merely because this is the line of least resistance, be cause dramatic effects; are most easily produced by thesejmeans. M. Dumas, on the, contrary, f& aivredilectlon for them. He slncerelybelteJvJjtbat. he is a reformer. u. sieui mumiic, u. man n.iiu u. iiusmuu. Accordingly, and Ifi the sincere hope of doing good, he has crjbb'd, cabin'd and confln'd his talent to putting one narrow set of characters through a marvelously Ingenious and varied series of dramatic paces. He has spent the highest theatri cal ability upon the representation of a narrow. Insignificant part of life, upon a world peopled only by the woman with a post or a present, the Ingenious young man, the male raisonneur, the young girl in search of a husband, the middle-aged man with money to burn. The result is a series of brilliant, witty, skillful, bterile, horizonless plays. Both his plays and Mr. Plnero's are depressing, because they give the Impression of talent bestowed upon undeserving subjects with monotonous frequency. a THE REAL CHRIST MOTHER Her Life the Simple Uneventful One of it Galilean Girl. Of her family and surroundings we know nothing at all, writes the Rev. S. D. McConnell, describing Mary, the mother of Christ, in an article treating of the life and time In which Christ was born, in the Ladies' Home Journal. A tradition so ancient and uniform that It Is in all prob ability correct describes her as a tall and graceful girl of fair complexion, with chestnut hair turning to gold in the sun, soft violet eyes, and slender but womanly figure, with tapering fingers and high arched feet. Her dress was a loose blouse and white striped robe with wide falling sleeves. About her waist she wore a broadagni broidered blue shawl or girdle. Hrayeil was of red cloth, a yard wide and four yards long. One end was fastened be hind updh the left shoulder by a brooch or clasp, then carried across the back of the neck and over the top of the head, the edge which fell over the forehead being ornamented with a fringe of coins, then carried under the left arm and brought up across the lower part of the face whteh It was meant to conceal, then thrown backward over the right shoulder. She wore long pendant silver jewels from her ears, and bunches of silver or copper ban gles on her wrists and ankles. Her life was the simple uneventful life of a Galilean girl, cooking, spinning, going to the synagogue of a Sabbath, where, with the other women, she might look through the lattice of their gallery at her townsmen; gossiping with the other maid ens at the well when they collected to fill their jars in the evening. CLEVELAND'S BOSS. The President Gets in Trouble "When He AVakes the Baby. A Washington correspondent says that Mrs. Cleveland, since she moved in from Woodley, goes driving regularly every fine forenoon with her younger baby and a nurse. She has a settled hour for leav ing the White House, and there are usu ally a group of women about to catch a glimpse of the presidential baby.

The strangers bowed in acknowledgment qf this courtesy. The nurse who accompanies Mrs. Cleve land on these drives Is a curious charac ter. She Is the only person about the White House, and possibly in Washing ton, whom the president Is really afraid. of. She is as much an autocrat or tne White House nursery as the president is of the cabinet-room. How it must glad den the hearts of tho poor cabinet officers after they have been treated as so many clerks by the president, to hear the nurse order the chief executive out of the nurs ery! The president is very fond of waking his children after they have been put to bed for the night. In order to exhibit them to some particular friends, who may be dining at the executive mansion. To this the nurse seriously objects, for she has the trouble of putting them to sleep again, and besides, she says it Is not good for the children. The last time Ambassador Bayard vis ited the Clevelands, which was just pre vious to his return to England, he was escorted to the nursery by the president. The ambassador kissed the baby as it slept in its cradle. The child awoke cry ing. The nurse happened out of the room at the time. The president instead of trying to soothe the child, called out to the ambassador, as if greatly alarmed: "Run, Tom, for your life! If the nurse catches us there will be murder." They just managed to escape as the nurse re sponded to the cries of the baby. Complimented. Detroit Free Press. She had married a young naval officer and was so pleased over it that she had gone with him Into a little house on a side street and was running it herself. "Have you any beans?" she inquired of the grocer's clerk during the first week of her Incumbency. "Do you wish navy beans?" he inquired politely. "Oh, certainly." she twittered. "How clever of you to guess we weren't army people." And the clerk almost choked on the ball of twine he stuck in his mouth to control his emotions. "Would Not Say His Prayers. Brooklyn Eagle.
