Mr. Hayward made no secret of his belief in the occult, and he often consulted mediums before undertaking some large transaction. He frequently took occasion to dream over his schemes, and he imaged that personages came to him to tell him what to buy and when to sell. Either the spirits were unusually well informed Or they were Influenced by the sagacity of Alvinza Hayward through some process of unconscious cerebration. They always gave the right kind of advice, and It seldom deviated from his own Ideas on the subject.

From those whom he met in his financial dreamland Mr. Hayward also acquired a persuasive manner and a large vocabublary, for he was able to convice the most skeptical financiers of the value of his properties. MADE ONLY ONE MISTAKE. It is said that he made only one mistake, and that was the purchase of a mine in Mexico known as Los Mulatos. Daniel Gillette, a mining engineer, had made an examination of samples of ore which he' had taken from the property, and reported that they assayed $220 a ton.

The Rothschilds had an option on the mine, and Messrs. Hayward and Gillette went over to London and persuaded the bankers to let go of the property. "We will get them to will us the mine," said Hayward, "and then talk them to death." Nobody believed the Rothschilds would give up the option, but the persuasiveness of the Californian won the day. After the mine was purchased it was discovered either that Gillette had been mistaken or that somebody had "salted" the property. Mr.

Hayward smiled over the loss and continued to buy mines at the direction of the "Indian Princess" and "Little Bright Eyes." Although the carrying on of Investments under the patronage of spooks would have been regarded strange in the east, the peculiarity of Mr. Hayward in the course of years ceased to excite the wonder of the Callfornians. The story goes that Collis P. Huntington consulted a San Francisco palmist for many years and seldom missed anything by following the advice. It was commonly reported that Mr.

Hayward and Charles D. Lane acquired riches by accepting the counsels of a woman medium. There were stories a year or so ago of an effort on the part of outsiders to get control of Mr. Hayward's property, but these were denied. My A peg top.

DREAMS BROUGHT CASH Eccentric California Man Made Far-seeing Investments Under the Direction of Eyes." By Star Special Senice.i -pw York, June 15. Dreams and portents and the whisperings of spirits which had Ions departed the flesh built up the $7,000,000 fortune of Mrs. Charity Hayward, concerning: which there is likely to be a legal controversy.

There is nothing of the stuff of which dreams are made In the property Itself, for It consists of California lands and mines and gilt-edged securities, arwssed by the late Alvinza Hayward of San Francisco. Hayward, his widow, died at N. on June 1, and notice has been given that two wills will be offered for probate. The first one, which has been called to the official notice of the courts In San Francisco, was made in March, 1903. on Nob Hill, and the second, to be offered for, pro-hate next week, purports to have been made in New Jersey the day before the death of the testatrix.

Mrs. Andrew W. Rose, of 22 East Fifty-seventh fi-eet of this city, the daughter of Mrs. Hayward, Is practically the sole beneficiary under the first document, while in the second, although she gets much of the estate, many other persons are remembered. ROSES ARE WEALTHY.

Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Rose live in a omniodlous house on East Fifty-Eeventh street, and they also have a country home near Greenwich. Conn. They have gone to Oakland, where the body of Mrs.

Hayward was sent, and there the first will has been offered for probate. The Roses are wealthy, and it is expected they will sharply contest any effort to prefer the second to the first will. Mrs. Hayward was nearly as old as was her husband, who died at the age of S3. Alvinza Hayward belonged to the (Oterie of wealthy Callfornians who acquired influence in the early days of the state.

He was the friend of Collls P. Huntington, Senator Flood and Stanford. From his small and dingy office in San Francisco he conducted many transactions in forest iands, mining property and city real estate. It Is said that on one trans-fir tion in which he gained control of the Ravage mine, which was a neighbor of the famous Comstock Lode, that he made a profit of $6,000,000. The value of the mine, which was unknown to its owners was learned by surreptitious borings and not from ghostly manifestations.

SWALLOWS SEALS WHOLE A GREAT PISH IS CAUGHT Captive Which Apiieara as Big as a Hull Weighs a Half Ton Makes But Ultle Effort to Escape. IBy Star Special Service Santa Barbara, June 15. The largest fish ever landed here was brought In by W. W. and Philip Burton, a prominent real estate man, and his 11-year-old son.

The fish weighed between 1,000 and 1.200 pounds and was said to be a sunfish, although by others it is called a "killer." Burton was fishing from a launch when suddenly an unprecedented thing occurred. Following a fine large yel-lowtail to the side of the launch appeared a huge gray object, apparently swimming on edge. Mr. Burton swung his gaff and got firm hold of the monster near its eye. Young Philip Burton also gaffed the fish, while Ira Eaton, owner of the launch, stopped his engines, which were at moderate speed, and secured a line.

The fish made a remarkably poor fight, contenting Itself with deluging it captors a few times with hogsheads of water, which it sent over the boat vlth a single movement of its strange fins. The landing of the fish upon the wharf was a serious business. A heavy spar and tackle were used, and even then It was all several men could do to raise the fish. In shape the fish Is unlike any other fish. Its head and body are almost square and as large as the body of bull.

Small fins resemble ears. Its mouth Is cavernous and line with teeth. The body flattens at the rear into huge gray, fleshy fins, and a flat thick tall resembling the ear of an elephant. The blubber Is soft and pure white. Fishermen dispute the statement that Mr.

Burton's fish Is a miiiflsh. They say it is a "killer;" that It differs from the sunfish in having bones and muscles, mid that it is peculiar to the southern wain's of the Channel group of Inlands. They say they have seen, but never captured, the fish up to throe tons in weight. The fish lives on seals and Is said to swallow them whole. It is said that these fish appear phosphorescent when seen seeking prey, even In daylight.

This specimen Is twelve feet long. Persons here say the species reaches twenty feet. LARGEST EXCLUSIVE SHOE HOUSE IN EASTERN INDIANA. W. H.

Ever since the dastardly attack on King Alfonso's life fake bombs have been cropping up like mushrooms in every part of Paris. At the door of the German embassy was found a so-called bomb which, when examined at the municipal laboratory, turned out to be nothing but an old tin full of dust and dirt. In the Due des Renandes was discovered a dangerous bound, with iron wire, two identically similar ones being soon afterward found in the sewers. All three were found to contain nothing more harmful than sand. At the corner of Rue de Richelieu and the Rue des Petits-Champs two brass tubes were seized, but on examination they, too, proved only fakes.

Winchester, Jbiie 15. A daughter of a family of soldiers Is Mrs. Harriet Cropper Bolkln, of this city, who, in spite of her 87 years. Is bright-eyed, active and of perfect memory. Mrs.

Botkln was born In Henry county, Kentucky, In 1S18. Her grandfather, Real Cropper, was a veteran In the Revolutionary war; her father of the same name took the field against England In 1812; a son and brother fought with the forces from '1 to '6T, and a grandson, John Mills, hMped to drive the Spaniards from the Philippines forty years later. The Cropper family moved to Randolph county, Indiana, In 1833, when the young Harriet was but 15 years of age, and settled near Huntsvllle. Winchester was then but a meagre collection of rude cabins and store rooms, a log courthouse and Jil In the center. The school, which lasted Just three months, was kept up by popular subscription and was held In a vacant resl-deuce.

One log church had been built by the Methodists at Huntsvllle; services were conducted by the Hev. Hunt, and the building was fitted with windows of olld paper. The Indians had only recently relinquished the territory, but the bear, deer, wolf and wild cat still married through the forests. A settlement of colored fugitives! from the slave stales had been made near the place and many runaway negroes visited the neighborhood.
