She was always race mare. A GRANDDAUGHTER OP ELECTIONEER. The mare Wanda was one of the trottine- enigmas of last year. Her first race was a match at the Bay District' Track with Count Valensiri's stallion SLmmicolon, and in first heat she went out and got a record of 2:26.

After that she started in the regular circuit races, and had a hot time of it. At times she seemed to be a dead game mare, and at others she would quit in the most unexpected way. She got a mark of 2 :24 at Santa ltosa, but when her owner took her home he didn't know whether he had a race mare or not. She was taken with the epizootic in the early part of the season, and those who believe in her say that sickness was the cause of her rank work. Anyway, she is in good fix this year.

and is expected to chop several seconds off her mark. She was, by the way, the first granddaughter of Electioneer to enter tha list. Benefactor, the five-year-old Benton weld ing, is a fairly good green horse that has shown enough speed down at the Palo Alto Ranch, where he was bred, to warrant them in the belief that he can enter the list without trouble, and perhaps go down near 3:23. The remainder of the string are virtually nntrled. They will take their preparatory work at the Bay District track, and will go on the circuit, taking in the principal meet-.

Ings. ARROL THOUGHT TO BE ALL RIGHT. The Palo Alto neonla do not seem tn ha very much concerned about the mare Arrol, that was injured in the car -on the passage from the ranch to Terre Haute. The papers over there think that she is permanently in-lured, and that she will never race again, but if she is so bad they do not know it down at Palo Alto, and they think that her hurts are of a slight nature and that she will be all right shortly. If she is hurt beyond recovery she will be bred in the East before being brought home.

The latest lo-, cal intelligence received from Marvin saya that the stable, with the exception of Arrol, Is in good shape and rounding to splendidly after its journey. 1 r-' i mi srELLANEOl'S.

Smoking-lacketa for ladiesl What next! I wish I could find words in the English language strong enough to express my disgust on seeing a ladies' smoking-jackct and cap illustrated in the fashion department, and accompanying it the assertion that ten out of a dozen ladies would willingly contract the cigarette habit for the privilege of wearing the smart little Jacket." If I thought the above was true, 1 should surely blush for or sex. Not long since, while chiding a gentleman friend for smoking, he quickly and jokiuglr replied that he had seen ladies from the best families smoking cigarettes on the street in the village where he lived, and it would be a good thing for me to learn. I told him they were not ladies, only fast or silly girls. But if there is a demand lor smoltingoackets, perhaps he was right. 11 he was, it seems to me a sad blot on our boasted civilization.

Is it possible that women, while trying to imitate men in dress and manners, are to adopt all their foolish and bad habits as well Of course it is nc wcse for a woman to indulge in tobacco or strong drink than for a man, but I think all wUl agree that it is a mora repulsive sight to see a woman Btaggering through the streets drunk than to see a man in like condition, and I think the same rule would apply to the tobacco habit. I can hardly believe any respectable gen tleman, however strongly addicted to the to bacco habit himseil, would enjoy seeing tus wife and daughters smoking. If it was a fashion that could be put aside as easily as others, it would not be so alarm ing. Hut II tne toDacco habit is once formed but few have will power sufllcient to break from it they are enslaved for life. We are living in a progressive age and there are many stations in life that women have learned to fill as well as men without sacrificing any of their womanly dignity and graces; but when they try to be coarse and masculine they are a disgrace to womankind and are progressing backward.

I hope no young lady will have so strong a desire to wear a smart smoking jacket as to con tract the cigarette habit. A Japanese Jtuse.

Great Men Who Were Dumb When in the Society of Women. Form tin Soston Journal. The writer knows it for a fact that Caleb Cushing, who, with the exception of Rufus Choate (par nnblle Jratrum), was the best man to sit and listen to he has ever been acquainted with, was substantially dumb in the society of women. He either did not know how to talk to them, or he would not, and he could scarcely look in the face of one of them without blushing. He could not look them fairly in the eyes, In fact, nor could he men either, for that matter.

There seemed to be an unaccountable' timidity and shrinking about him, as there was even about Choate himself, great man that he was. Ana the writer would remarit, in passing. that he remembers, as to the latter, that one evening at one of the large hotels in Boston there was a reunion, for some purpose, of the graduates of Harvard College in and about Boston, and Choate was one of the invited guests. The late brilliant Jo-siah Quincy jr. (as he was then) presided at the table with his usual inimitable grace and piquancy.

While the compahy were assembling the writer (then a very young man) was standing by himself in a corner. when Choate came, in, with a slouchy gait and his head down, looking as confused as a schoolboy, and, catching a glimpse of the writer, he rushed eagerly toward him, and, grasping hls'arm, said substantially: You must help me up to the committee," who were standing at the head of the hall receiving the guests. ever, when Choate, being discovered, was punea nitner ana tmtner Dy nosts or nanas. and the writer was left again to commune with himself or with others like him and 01 his own age who happened to be standing near, not, however, before he had ventured to modestly remark to Choate how surprised he was that a man of his experience and distinction should be at all desirous of thus walking under cover, a3 it were. And I have stated in a previous paper how he al ways avoided as much as possible the eyes of mon, and how, when walking from his of- nce to nis nouse, ne preierrea to wain through lanes and the narrowest rather than through the broadost andmostcrowded streets.

He was very peculiar in this particular. I have it from authority which cannot ba. questioned that Mr. Gushing once, at an evening party in Newburryport, attempting to make himself agreeable, it is to be pre-' sumed, said to a pretty, bright-eyed girl of seventeen or eighteen summers, and quite distinguished for her beauty and accomplishments in. the'eircle of her yoilhg admirers Pray, can you tell me how love begins!"

In such a country as last Africa a proportion of them are likely to fall a prey to hawks and other rapaoious birds, but the acquisition of this means of rapid communication will be invaluable to the company.

i THE TELEPHONE TRICK. How the Swindle Was Worked on Fa- rislan Restaurateur. Parts Correspondence London Telegraph.

The restaurateur, or one of his assistants, was cauea to tne teiepnone and directed to prepare a copious repast for the Marquis de Mores and four other fentlemon who were to accompany him. 'his order was apparently all right, as the Marquis had dined the day before at the restaurant after he had left thtj bfflce of the uce d'lnstruction. at whose disposal ne holds himself while out on ball. Shortly after the reoeipt of the order the telephone boll rang again, and the restaurateur was told that a box of special Havanas would be sent to him for the Marquis, and would he be good enough to pay the messenger for the. cigars, xne repiy was whereupon the messenger soon appeared, carrying the box of cigars all riKUt Its 113 cawi iu.

What imaginative creatures children are, to be sure. There is one little Washington boy who explained to his mother while she was undressing him the other night a most extraordinary metaphysical theory of his own invention. It was that there was nothing In the world that had any existence 'outside of his own immediate personality. Wherever he went, and to however great a distance, there were always substantial surroundings, but his notion was that perhaps when he left anv particular locality those surroundings went out of being at once, having served the whole purpose of their creation by providing him with a necessary environment. According to this idea of his, when he journeyed through the city in a car block after block of buildings and street after street sprang up Instantaneously for his benefit, as quickly vanishing when he had passed but of view.

The answers to letters that were sent abroad some time ago establish beyond any doubt the fact that the stories told to various people here about her birth and early life in England and Scotland were wholly false. That she left a son appears now to be highly probable, and that son, it is likely, is no other than Edward MacMahon, the boy she brought to California some years ago.

After placing him at the boys' school of Dr. Brewer in San Mateo, where he re mained for some years, he was sent back to Kansas City. It was there that nearly all the convey ances of property appear to have been made. It was there the undoubtedly fictitious personages, materialized at her will, and after serving her purposes as grantors of such pieces of property as she wished to dispose of, again disappeared and vanished into thin air. After McMahon's return to Kansas City his name began to figure frequently in the conveyances of property.

Although only a young man just from school he purchased property after property from the mythical Tarantes. payinu vari ous sums, so far as the deeds would indicate, all the way from ten to even sixty thousand dollars. Another person has come upon the scene. one Bertrand G. Chandos.

Who or what he is has not definitely been settled. HEK LONG LOS1 BROTHER. In the mass of correspondence discovered among the effects of this remarkable woman are many letters from him, and copies of letters from her to him. In nearly all of these he addresses her as "My dear aunt," and she writes to her Dear nephew." Ia a few of his letters be addresses her as." Dear madam." Now he comes out and claims to be Mrs. Bensley's brother.

As such ho filed a petition for letters of administration at Kansas City, and it is understood that he is contesting the right of the Public Adminis- tvatnn of. T.ou t'oirn a "NT edtnlnictaw UIUIUUWI dollars' worth of personal property that she left at the hotel there at the time 01 her death. The amount of real estate kept concealed for the last ten years in Han Diego could have been sold during the boom lor some thing like 8500.000. It includes one- tenth of what is known as the Old Town of San Diego, and hundreds of acres in the immediate vicinity. Some of these lauds sold during the excitement as high as $1,000 an acre.

At one time Mr. Bensley was known to be the owner of 88,000 shares of the Kings Kiver Canal Company's stock. Some idea of its value Is derived from the fact that 8,800 shares were sold to MUler Lux at $10 a share, 1 Whatever became of the balance of the stock no one appears to know. He also was the ownor ot one-quarter 01 Joice island, a very valuable This has disappeared like so many other valu able pieces, .,1 shb was too clever bt half. There is a web of intrigue covering this vast estate that may never be thoroughly disentangled.

Having for its primary object tho defrauding of John Beusley, and later the cheating of his creditors, this artful adventuress so wound herself up and thor oughly entangled herself in the web of her own devising that she eventually found her self powerless to handle the property she thought she had secured, and the annoyances and vexations resulting from it gradually broke down her health. Several times she laintea at the ainner-tablo at the Pleasanton Hotel, and had to be assisted to her rooms. Among the guests she was regarded as a mysterious woman. She was always polite and courteous but there was something so strange in her man ner and conduct that she was looked upon as a very extraordinary character. When Mrs.

nensiey first arrived nere and before she had succeeded in entrapping Bensley into marrying her she stopped at the Occidental Hotel, then kept by Mr. Iceland, and although she was constantly talking about her estates in Scotland, her castle, and tenantry, her town-house In Lon don, and vast possessions elsewhere, she could not pay a board bill'of $200. Kemoving everything ol value irom ner trunks she left the hotel in the night, and that was the last seen of the "wealthy Scotch lady" for some time. Later she made her appearance at the Baldwin Hotel. BKNSLET'S HIDINO-rLACB.

Some of the letters from Bensley to his wife while he was in hiding in the East speak of the small amount of money it was costing him to While at a place called lied Bank, N. he says "Ism paying 1 9 a week for my board. I could get better near by, but it would cost me 10 a week." All this time Mrs. Bensley, with his full power of attorney in her pocket, was repre senting mm as at some watering-piace Europe a shattered and broken-down man, on account of the failure of the firm of Lin-forth, Kellogg Co. and his consequent financial ruin.

He wanted to leave his place of hiding and go to New York or Washington, or some other city, but it appears from his letters he was afraid to go lest he might meet Hall McAllister, who was East at that time, and to whom Mrs. Bensley had represented that her husband was abroad. He appeals to hor in these letters to know when he can go witli safety. Had it not been for the sudden death of this clever woman at Las Vegas last December it is probable that these frauds would never have been discovered, or if discovered not for many years. The pilo of unrecorded deeds furnished the chain of evidence that proved conclusively the plot and the manner in which it had been curried out.

Take it all in all. there nevor has been a bolder or more skillfully planned scheme to cover up a large estate than the one devised in the masculine brain of this cold, calculating avoman. A Strange Nesting; Place. A new use has been discovered for electric-light globes, says the Boston Adrcrtiner, The spring birds have found that thoy make excellent places in whioh to build thoir nests, sheltered as is the inner space from the winds and storms, and many a lively and lovely courtship may be seen almost any day by glancing at the top of the tall polos. The new-comers porch npon the edges of the globes and poop and twitter to one another as they make thoir connubial arrangements.

Then they may be seen bringing their twigs and bits of straw and twine preparatory to begiuuing housekeeping. A day or two later and the domicile is all ready for occupancy. Ope may see the little nosts from below through the glass. The dear little follows soem happy and contented, although they live in the full glare of light by day and by night. A bird's nest one expects to tind hidden beneath a branch in some cool shady spot How Stockton Was Beaten Out by San Francisco.

LITTLE FUDCER WAS ALSO IN IT. The Second Batwnan and Shortstop Play Ball Like Amateurs and Their Team It Badly Vefeated The Game To-Day. Stockton played against San Francisco at the Haight-streot grounds yesterday after noon. The score should have been: Stockton 8, San Francisco 0. But it wasn't.

It was San Francisco 10, Stockton 3. And why! Because Captain Fogarty and Shortstop Fudger couldn't have caught a ground-hit ball with a Kodak. Mr. Fogarty made three life-sized errors. They were beauties, and were worth Just eight runs.

But Fogarty couldn't help it He tried his best to play ball, but there wasn't any ball in the Stockton captain yesterday, Neither could Fudger play. ICilroy, though hit rather pitched a decent game. His drop ball and slow curves were worked nicely. He was a trifle wild, however. Just to show how nicely Mr.

Kilroy worked, and what an over-the-fence game Stockton played, it is only necessary to state that San Francisco did not earn a single one of their ten runs. Stockton earned all three they made. Quite a difference from a real baseball standpoint, wasn't it! There was a good noisy crowd present, and they cheered like mad when Holliday made a great side or running catch, one of the kind that they always burn red fire on and play tremulo music for a slow curtain. The peoplo also made a large amount of noise when 44 Chick Speer ran bang up against the fence and took in a foul from Kiiroy's bat. Both were great plays and loudly ap plauded.

rne one man who played baseball lor Stockton waa Wilson. He had four assists, and they were all beauties. Twice did he make Jerry Denny stops when two men were out, after Fudger and Fogarty had played fast and loose, with chances to retire the side. His stops were simply marvelous and were loudly applauded. Stevens and Sweeney did some nice hitting for San Francisco.

Otto Young was in splendid form, and not until the seventh inninir did Stockton hit him hard enough to earn a run, though Cahill should have been pushed around in tne erst, as he banged out a nice double with only one hand out, but got no nearer home. A funny incident happened In the third. Sweeney led oft with a single hit to center. Holliday fell while running after the ball, but managed to stop it with one hand. While at full length on his back he threw the ball to second.

Sweeney, seeing Holliday on the ground, thought the ball had passed him. The coacher did not tell him where the ball was, so he ran on down to second and was touched out. There is no use telling how the runs were made. The errors of Fudger and Fogarty were responsible for eight of the ten, The score: rt Sax Fbasowco. AB.
