FORTUNE TURNED IN HIS FAVOR. Riley Grannan Had a Good Day, Taking thousands Out of the Ring. THE FAVORITES DIDN'T WIN. "Whitestone Defeated Rey Al- fonso at a Mile in Fast Time. After experiencing many varying re- verses that would have disheartened many ;i [ess ;s bettor, Dame Fortune is beginning to smile on Riley Grannan, and with one more such successful day as he had yesterday, bis losses during the meeting, which have been estimated any- wherefrom $30,000 to $1,000,000. will have been na»-e than regained.l While the dar- |ng young plunger did not in the true turf sense of iii<" word "kill"the ring yester- lay. he .- accredited with taking from |!12,000 0ut of it by the victories i Bees, Ferris Hartman and Whitestone. Many of the bookies that eagerly sought his money before the tide irned in his favor became very wary as the day wore on. and when Riley skippe.-i around the betting ring before the lasi ran with his "bet you $400," the astute penciler glanced at his sheet and was very n t to say, "Am pretty full on that, Riley; I'!! take $100." They missed an oppor- tunity, however, of getting some of the er'B earnings back, for Mutineer did Dot finish in the first three.

"Moose" Taylor's* finish on Captain Rees was a very agreeable surprise to his friends, who feared the injury to his leg would'prevent him from riding with his old-time cleverness. Chora had two winning mounts yester- day. Jockey Chevalier was up in the saddla again yesterday, having entirely recovered from the injury to his leg, caused by being savaged by Jake Allen. The judges have removed the ban of suspension from Willie Flynn, and the promising rider willendeavor to atone for any past faults by winning a block on every horse he rides, if such is possible. Motto was again heavily backed in the second race, but ran disappointingly. Asked by a friend if lie beat the first race, Pittsburg Phil's answer was to go down in his pocket and withdraw a bunch of tickets on Royal Plush the thickness of a pack of playing-cards. He met with poor success throughout the day until the last race, when he pulled out somewhat by playing Kathleen. Ed Purser bet some money on the "hot thing," Joan. The filly ran well at her first attempt and will probably do better next time out. By Holly held some Centurion tickets on the last race. Charley t^uinn placed some bets on El Tirano. The delay at the post killed his chance of winning" Abe Levy did not look as pleasant as usual after the Roy Alfonso race. He had a pood bet down on the bay colt. Grannan was reported to have won $5000 by the victory of Ferris Hartman. Harry Harris, the partner of George Wheelock, took one bet of $1000 on White- stone from Grannan. One of the happiest men on the racetrack yesterday was Ferris Hartman. the p<spular comedian of the Tivoli. Barney Schreiber named his good Woodlands gelding after the man of mirth, and on each of the geld- ing's two former attempts the latter had been loyal to his namesake and had his checks down. Not only that, but Ferris •whispered it around among the members of the company of which, he is jester supreme that they had better have a bet down on Barney's youngster, and on his lirst start the Tivoli company was well represented at the track. The youngster ran unplaced ami at his second start the comedian's horse talk was spent on ears that heard not. This time he tinished third. Yesterday Ferris was alone in his glory, not even Phil Branson taking stock enough in Hartman's tip to get there in time to see the race. "W ell, yesterday he won and won easily, and the gay comedian was $300 richer in pocket. Ferris shook Carr by the hand as Felix passed in to the weighing-room, and re- turning to the betting ring was tendered an ovation by his friends. Stepping up on the block alongside of Barney Schreiber, the comedian, with a face radiant with smiles, raised his hat in acknowledgment of the courtesy. Turning to Phil McKim he said, "Didn't I tell you I was no gaod till the third act?"

BAN BURNS WILL NOT PAY. The Ghosts of the Old Embez- zlement Cases Again in the Light. He Says That He Did Not Em- ploy Attorney A.L. Hart to Defend Him. The half-forgotten suits which were brought against Dan Burns in the Sacra- mento courts, and in which he defended himself against charges of embezzling and misappropriating State money, were once more given publicity in a paper filed in the County Clerk's office yesterday. The doc- ument was Burns' answer to the suit of A. L. Hart to recover several thousand dollars in attorney's fees. He it was who defended Burns when the charges were being pressed against the ex-boss, and Hart thought his services worth a large amount. As his answer shows, Burns, the defend- ant, is erf a different opinion. He does not \u25a0want to pay for the services rendered, and therefore denies that he owes Hart any- thing at all. Upon a shortage in his accounts amount- ing to $31,734 64, which Burns, the then Secretary of State, could not satisfactorily account for, he was indicted by the Grand Jury of Sacramento and was tried in both the Police and the Superior courts of that county. Hart set forth that he defended Burns on an indictment in the Superior Court of Sacramento on November 2f>, 18*1; again on December 2, 1884, he defended Burns on six indictments for embezzlement and four for felony, and on November 24, Ishs, he defended him and his bondsmen in a suit to recover the money missing. All these claims of Hart are mentioned in Burns' answer and his defense in each is the same. He says he never employed Hart to defend him and what was done by Hart was done gratuitously and unsoli- cited. When the cases came up, the answer states, Hart offered his services, and he made no agreement as to fee or condition-. The defendant thought he was working gratuitously, and when it was all over and Burns had been released by the Sacramento courts, Burns went to his friencr Hart and gave him $2000. This was not as a fee, the answer is careful to state, but was given as a sign of gratitude and as a sign that the value of Hart's services were appreciated Hart held that the $2000 was the first pay- ment on a $25,000 fee, but this Mr. Burns, through his attorneys, Estee and Miller, denies. It was purely a gift of gratitude for unsolicited services, and on that line the case will be fought. AT LIBERTY ONCEMORE. Mrs. Dean, the Counterfeiter, Ig Now Out on Bonds. Mrs. W. J. Farrow, alias Dean, was re- leased from custody yesterday on bail. Secret Service Agent Harris consented to her bail being reduced to $1000, and Mrs. Henrietta Jans-en and Miss Meta Jansen, of Berkeley, became sureties for her. Mrs. Dean willlive with the Jansens in Berkeley until after her trial. She was brought oveV from the Alameda county jail by United States Marshal Baldwh yesterday after- noon, and as soon a? her bond was ap- proved she was given her liberty. When she reached the sidewalk in company with her friends she drew a long breath and ex- claimed: "At liberty once more, thank God." If Mrs. Dean will only consent to assist the Government by turning State's evidence the case against her will be dis- missed. POLO-PLAYERS FROM THE NORTH. Army Officers From Walla Walla Will Play Against Burlingame. THE PUBLIC MAY VIEW IT. Talbot Clifton WillSoon Start His Daily Coach— A Tan- dem Club. The public will soon have an opportunity to get a taste of polo, and at the same time the polo-players at Burlingame will have their first chance to test their prowess against an outside team. The officers of the Fourth United States Cavalry, sta- tioned at Walla Walla, have for some time- been trying to arrange to play with the Burlingame people, and now about all the preparations have been made for a tourna- ment to begin on the 30th of this month. The Riverside Polo Club has been asked to join in the tournment, but it is not certain yet that it willdo so. The Walla Walla people will bring down a team of five players, about a dozen ponies and a number of men to care for them. This all will cost a good deal of money, and, in order to help out, the Burlingame Club will charge an admission fee to the games. Special trains will be run from this city landing the visitors at the grounds. Tickets will be sold to the public covering the fare both ways and admission to the grounds. The tournament will probably cover a week, with games on Saturday, the 30th inst.. and the following Wednesday and Saturday. Until it is definitely known whether the Riverside Club will send up a team the schedule of games will not be set- tled npon. The Walla Walla officers have been playing for some time, and several of them havt had considerable experience in the East. The younger officers in the army have been playing polo of late years con- siderably, as it adds much to their horse- manship, particularly in teaching them command over their horses. Lieutenant Cassat, a son of President Cassat of the Pennsylvania Railway is the most prominent member of the northern team and is an experienced polo-player. The Burlingame team of four will be made up from a few regular players, name- ly: Harold Wheeler, H. R. Simpkins, R. M. Tobin, J. S. Tobin, John Lawson, W. P. A. Brewer, C. P. Tobin, J. P. H. Howard and H. H. Hinshaw. But C. P. Tobin and Brewer will probably be absent, and there remain very few to chose from. Judging from the remarks of visitors, old polo- players from India and the Eastern States, the* Burlingame players would not rank very high on their fields. This is due to fliefact that they have had no opportuni- ties to play with crack players, just as men will never learn to play good billiards un- less they have some practice with experts. So the Burlingame people do not look forward with great confidence to victoiy over the men from the north and the south, while they welcome the opportunity to get some good lessons. The men at Riverside are reported to play a fine game. The polo grounds at Burlingame are in excellent condition at present green, springy and smooth. They become dry and dusty in summer, as the club has no arrangement for watering them. However, a new ten-acre polo field is being laid out nearer the clubhouse, with pipes to supply water to keep it green the year round. Tt will be ready next year for permanent use. Grounds are also being laid out for trap- shooting, and a supply of special electric traps has been brought from the East. This was an inducement for a number of trap-shooters to join the club lately, and that sport will in future be a feature of the club. Talbot Clifton's new daily stage line from the Palace Hotel to Burlingame will be started as soon as the coach he had made in England arrives. He will probably run once a week or so as far as Menlo. The coach will leave the Palace Hotel in the morning and return from Burlingame in the evening. The distance covered will be nineteen miles each way. He will have the use also of the club coach, and two or three other members will take turns with him at the whip. The charge for passage will be about $2 50 with something extra for the box seat. To keep up the properly appointed coaches, care for the twenty-five thoroughbred horses am' have everything "quite rit" will take a lot of money, and Mr. Clifton thinks he will be extremely lucky if he comes out even. But he will, he says, have given the people of San Fran- cisco a taste of good old coaching. Several of the men at Burlingame are starting a tandem club. Five or six of them have traps and tandem horses, and itis proposed to have periodical tandem meets once a week or so and drive on down toward Menlo or some other place where the roads are good, have a lunch together and then drive back home. PHYSIOGNOMY AS A SCIENCE. The Right and Title to a Book on the Subject Now on Trial. Dr. J. Simms Says Mrs. M. Stanton Has Infringed His Copy- RIGHT. The taking of testimony in the case of Joseph Simms against Mary O. Stanton was continued before United States Com- missioner Heacock yesterday. Mrs. Clara Foltt and Joseph D. Redding appeared as counsel for Dr. Simms, while Mrs. Stan- ton's interests were represented by Whea- ton, Kalloch & Kierce and Fisher Ames. The trouble arose over a book on physi- ognomy which Dr. Simms copyrighted and published. Mrs. Stanton later pub- lished a book on the same subject and Dr. Simms now asserts that she pirated many of his ideas and took copious extracts from his volume. The entire session was taken Tip by Mrs. Stanton in reading extracts from Dr. Simms' work and the corresponding pas- sages in her own book. She then quoted from the works of other authors to show that they had published the same ideas years before Simms had ever thought of writing a book. She insisted upon making comments upon everything she testified to arid Mrs. Foltz vigorously objected. Finally Mrs. Stanton was allowed to bave her own way, "as the Commissioner is only empowered to take the testimony as given and note the objections. Attorney Wheaton had very little to do except correct an occasional lapse of gram- mar on the part o< his client. In this respect Dr. Simms notes a number of lapses in Mrs. Stanton's book. For in- stance, "Where the noses of scientists is ob- served to be shorter and DToader" ; "Pug noses, hence pugnacity, the verb express- ive of a quarrelsome disposition." "Any schoolboy versed in grammar," comments the doctor, "could inform Mrs. Stanton that pugnacity is a noun and not a verb." He also accuses her of spelling Bradlaugh, Bradlaw; Laocoon, Laokoon ; Hercules, Herakles, 1 ' and Patrick Henry, Henri. Toward the close of the session Mrs. Stanton began reading from a book written by Professor Ross of Edinburgh over a cen- tury ago. It was bound and had the ap- pearance of a bulky volume. Mrs. Foltz, after a time, became a little suspicious, and going around to Mrs. Stanton's chair, found that lady reading from a manu- script c»py of the book. She at once ob- jected, and Mrs. Stanton's attorney re- marked that her objection was well taken, as the original volume should be pro- duced. Commissioner Heacock ordered all the testimony in that line stricken out. The case will be continued this afternoon. A SCHOOL IN THE WOODS. ItWill Be Opened at Cazadero for Mis- sionary Purposes. A missionary extension summer school will be held in Elim Grove, at Cazadero, in June. This will be the first summer school held on this coast distinctively for young people. Itwill be undenominational and without distinction as to sect. The object will be the dissemination of missionary knowledge and recreation. The mission- ary extension movement has been officially represented by about thirty representa- tives of the denominational boards of mis- sions, including the Christian Endeavor Society. Eminent speakers from the East and West are secured for special addresses. Hundreds of young people will attend. Miss Mindora Berry, the Pacific Coast secretary of the "movement," is pushing the work of preparation. Elim Grove is the old camping ground of the Bohemian Club, and has a reputation for its natural beauty. The precise date of the assembly has not been officially announced. THE AWFUL SIEGE OF DELHI Experience of Mrs. Harriet Tytler During the Reign of Terror. Executions and Murders the Order of the Day— An Eventful Life. There are few women whose lives have been so eventful and thrilling as that of Mrs. Harriet Tytler, who is now in the city lecturing on India. Mrs. Tytler en- joys the distinction of having been the only woman who was present at the ter- rible siege of Delhi, which shocked the stoutest hearts and drove men to madness. Mrs. Tytler belongs to a race of soldiers. Her father was an officer, her husband an officer and she is a mother of officers. She is now 65 years of age, and fifty of these years have been spent in Indian gar- risons. She is a pleasant little woman, bright and intelligent. "I was born in India," she said yester- day. "I am a Hindustanee by instinct, and pray to my Maker in that tongue. I have had an eventful career. My mother was a woman of French descent, who marri«d my father in England. They re- turned to India shortly after their mar- riage and a few years later I was born. Almost the first thing I can remember is a trip with my parents up the Ganges. There was a dreadful famine in the coun- try at 'the time, and both banks of the river were lined with human beings who were dying of starvation. We went to the assistance of some, but could afford the poor wretches but little relief. In time of famine the Ganges is fairly covered with corpses or skeletons. Th* natives believe the river is sacred, and all they pray for is that their bodies may be washed in its waters after life has tied." Mrs. Tytler then went to England to be educated, and on her return to India she heard of her father's death. She was mar- ried to Colonel Kobert C. Tytler soon after and followed him into the fever-stricken districts of the peninsula. The great ex- perience of her life, however, was at the massacre and siege of Delhi, where she was the only woman with the troops. "I look back upon that terrible period in my history with pain and horror after all these years," said Mrs. Tytler. "I OOUld have escaped the sufferings that fell to my lot afteAvard had I not decided to re muiu by my husband's side. He entreated to leave Delhi while there was yet time, but I declined to do so. "During the siege I lived with my two children in a cart covered with rug*. 1 was doing nicely until June 21, 1857, when my son, whom I christened Stuulc \ Delhi-Force was born. It was a bright moonlight night and the shells wen- fall- ingabout us everywhere. Allthe clothing I had for the little stranger was aptoceol flannel. I was my own nurse, and had little comforts to enjoy, but our danger was so imminent that t did not think of inconveniences. "During the time we were there I saw men butchered by fiends as if they were cat- tle. I saw battalions mowed down liko grass to the cry, 'No quarter.' Executions, assassinations, crimes of every description were so frequent we became in a way hardened to all we saw. My family Had escaped the massacre with a poor supply of clothing and of course we suffered ter- ribly. The bombardment was incessant, and shells burst about us in every direc- tion. Yet through it all my little baby never winked an eye." The story of Mrs. Tytler's life during the great Sepoy rebellionreads like a romance. She gives a curious explanation of the causes that led to the mutiny,' the main one being the alleged fact that the English greased the cartridges for the Mohamme- dan soldiers. Her husband's regiment de- serted him almost to a man, but he was well thought of by his officers, and as a re- sult they spared the lives of himself and family. Mrs. Tytler will deliver the first of a series of lectures at the old Young Men's Christian Association Hail on Sutter street this afternoon. Bhe will relate remi- niscences of the rebellion and with the aid of curios brought with her from India will give an illustration of the scenes of horror she saw and tne privations endured for bo many years. Mrs. Harriet Tytler. [From a recent photograph.] I>lek McDonald's Note. The Pacific Bank has commenced suit against R. H.

One Comes From the East to Claim the Homestead of the Other. A QUEER LEGAL TANGLE. How a Gay Deceiver Was Sup- ported by Two Confiding Women. Samuel Mcßirney was a gay deceiver vrho lived and died in the trusting smiles of two wives who loved and supported him, and he is probably even now chuck- ling in glee over the legal tangle which his evil ways made of the women's affairs. He was married iirst in Ohio. In1874 he came to California, and while still fettered to his Ohio love he bestowed the remnant of his affections upon a Western woman who was divorced from her husband, and, as she thought, legally married her. With extensive assistance from wife No. 2Mcßirney succeeded in acquiring some little property, and upon this and a trifle that now and then came from Ohio he managed to live in peace and to work but little. When he died his local widow tiled a homestead upon the property which she and Mcßirney owned in commen. But the news of the death of the doubly wedded Mcßirney traveled eastward rapidly, and the widow in Cincinnati sent out here to see what property her long-absent husband had left. She found first of all a house and lot on Pine street, near Broderick, in this city, and living upon it was Mrs. Mcßirney No. 2 and a family of three grown-up chil- dren. Mrs. Mcßirney found, too, that a homestead had been filed on the property, and this she moved to set aside. The case was tried yesterday before Judge Slack, and for piirely legal reasons the Eastern Mrs. Mcßirney 's petition was granted, and the homestead has been set aside to her. By the testimony submitted yesterda}- it was shown that Mcßirr-r-y's course of de- ception was complete ana premeditated. Mrs. Mary A., who was the Ohio wife, through her attorney, submitted letters which her recreant spouse had written to her, and also the majriage certificate dated years ago back in the '60's, which bore testi- mony to the fact that she and Mcßirney were one. Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney, who wa3 the California wife, had an 'answer to the certificate, however. Her husband had told her, she said, that years before he had married her he had met a woman in the East, that she had borne him. a son, but that the woman had never been anything to him. To quiet her he had said, he had forged a marriage certificate, and although she kept it and believed in it,itmeant nothing. It was wife number 2, however, whom he was deceiviug ( for the certificate showed on its face that it was a legal docu- ment. Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney showed also that the property upon which the home- stead bad been tiled was purchased almost entirely with her money after her mar- riage with Mcßirney, but here a strange turn of the law takes it from her. Unfor- tunately, as was said by the court, she never had been the wife of Mcßirney and could therefore have no claim upon com- munity property. On the other hand Mrs. Mary A. Mcßirney had always been her husband's wife, so to speak, and half of all property which he left at his death be- longed of right to her. Itmade no legal difference, so far as the case under trial was concerned, whose money purchased the prof>erty so long; as Mcßirney had a lawful title to it, and it then became com- munity property between himself and his true wife. She, therefore, was given the homestead. Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney has still another chance, however. In a civil action she can show that it was her money which bought the property, and so little was Mcßirney financially interested in it her attorneys have no doubt that it will all be given back to her. MUST PAY THE BOND. Charles A. Bayly's Drugstore Attached by the Sheriff. Sheriff Whelan placed a keeper in charge of Charles A. Bayly's drugstore at 227 Grant avenue yesterday morning. Bayly is one of the bondsmen of Alice Adrien, the keeper of a disorderly house at 722 Commercial street, who was ckarged with keeping two minors in her resort and who forfeited her bail after a ruling of Judge Wallace made it apparent that she stood a good chance of conviction. Bayly qualified in the sum of $5000, sayiiighe owned $10,000 worth of property. The defendant did not appear in court when her case was called on Tuesday last and Judge Wallace ordered her bonds forfeited. It was in a suit begun by the city and county to recover the anionnt of the hail that the attachment was levied. The other bondsman, P. MialanaSasaloon- keepei ut 148 Geary street, has, since the bond was given, sold a portion of his property, saying that the woman told him thai .iho bad obtained other sureties and that he whs released. ANOTHER TERM FOR SMITH. He Would Have Done Better Had He Held His Tongue Last Friday. A Quick Conviction for the Car Robbery— Wilson's Record. John Smith, who raised such a scene in Judge Wallace's courtroom last Friday morning, is probably wishing he had held his tongue. He was sentenced to twenty years' imprisonment for robbing a gro- cery, and it was intended to let the charge of robbery for holding-up a Jackson-street car drop. On account of his behavior, however, the charge was brought to trial yesterday, and within a few minutes after the case went to the jury he was convicted. He will be sentenced for the second charge next Monday. Some sympathy and considerable criti- cism were caused by the sentences which Judge Wallace imposed on Smith and his partner in crime, John Wilson, last Fri- day. Wilson was given forty years on two charges ©f robbery and Smith was given twenty years on one charge. It was pleaded in favor of the two criminals that both were only 17 years of age, and also that they tnen appeared for the first time before a court as defendants. Inview of this fact and because Judge Wallace im- posed the full limit in each case, the court was severely commented upon on all sides, but a letter from Portland, Or., set- ting forth the record of John Wilson, shows that Judge Wallace was not far wrong in his judgments. . The letter is from Detective H. D. Griffin of the Portland police force, to Detective Ed Griliin of the local police. It is as fol- lows : Sir: Yours of the 10th came to hand, and ! also tho photos. Among the bunch is one very j familiar face, No. 12,533, whom you call Wil- son. He is known to us from childhood and was raised near here. In the year 'B9 he was arrested here by Detective Barry and myself for stealing a watch from a man on the East side of tho river, but was turned over to his parents, who lived in tho State of Washington at a place called Washongal. In 1891 he was arrested by Detectives Summers and Day for robbing a boat house with two others, and was turnea over to the Boys' and Girls' AidSociety. lie waft at that time registered as 17 years of age.' 7 His name isCharles Donnelly, alias "Kid" Donnelly. On March 22, 1893, he was arrested in com- pany with a man named Lewis by Simmons ! Gaetzmacher, Hokapplc and Griffin" for robbing the reeidenee of L.F. Chemin in thiscitv. It ' was a daylight job and the property was recov- ered. This time he pave the name of John Keiman, and after a trial he was sent to the Oregon "pen" for a term of four years. After a short time he was sent to the reform school and remained bnt a short time there. Then he escaped, and the next thing we heard of him whs from Seattle in1898, when he, incompany with some one else, was arrested by an officer for doing a job in the nighttime. While the officer was in the act of ringingfor the patrol wagon Donnelly showed fight, and alter an ex- change of shots Donnelly was wounded by being shot in the stomach. He recovered m f t ? me a ,, ? r when he was Bent to the Walla Walla "pen." for one year aad was released in the latter part of1894. We heard he spent one night here after his release, but which wav he wt-nt we cannot tell. He is a first-classman: he is also dangerous; he has been paying some attention to safe work of late years. ••• "H. D. Griftik. Wilson has been taken to Folsom prison. On the way up he fought several times to free himself from Deputies Riley and Gib- ncy, who went with him, and it was only after putting all the shackles possible upon him that he was finally safely landed. The police expect to receive record of Smith in a few days. QUEER DINNERFAD IN PARIS From the Shoulders Up the Guests Ap- pear in Historical Attire. Paris has a novelty in the way of din- ners. The discovery that there were twenty-six carnival days in February led to this innovation in the fashionable world. The new function combines the attrac- tions of a masquerade with those of an elaborate set dinner. The guests are en- abled to dress to suit their individual fancy, selecting characters from history or fiction for their models, and yet are not encumbered, save as to their heads, with inconvenient apparel. The guests come in ordinary evening dress, but from the shoulders up they are obliged to be in some fancy costume. For men of middle age the following are some of the favorites :The head dressed as an Alderman pi Paris, with the beret and scarf twined around the neck, framing the picture ; as a Leaguer, with a high felt hat covered with plumes; as a nobleman of the time of Louis XLV, with curled wig and Louis XV, with powdered wig and peruke tied with broad black ribbon. The younger men select such' head- dresses as Pierrot, Harlequin, Arab Me- phistopheles or Watteau shepherds' "ac- cording to their age and types. Brunettes aspiring to b*e blondes for one night choose the golden tresses of a Cvbela or Ceres crowned with grain; Pomona with fawn-colored hair entwined with eran^ leaves; Diana, with crescent arising from the waves of her light hair, or the nearl- sludded cap of a Venetian with blonde Blondes in turn may don Titian, brown or gray loc^s but to complete the illusion the face must be powdered. Even the men use powder, but tlie powder has to be S3 with discrimination and skill uc usea For the table decorations of the "diners de tetes" the table should be drwsed with flowers, which, however, can be replaced by spn ? s of mistletoe, interspersed with nice roses and chrysanthemums. The table-clot h should consist of a lont? strip of bolting cloth, embroil ered in nau ural colors and bordered with surah upon which are placed the dessert dishes. D?sh£ of marrons, places and candied cherries are also appropriate.

Rees was a very agreeable surprise to hisfriends, who feared the injury to his legwould'prevent him from riding with hisold-time cleverness.

Chora had two winning mounts yester-day.

Jockey Chevalier was up in the saddlaagain yesterday, having entirely recoveredfrom the injury to his leg, caused by beingsavaged by Jake Allen.

The judges have removed the ban ofsuspension from Willie Flynn, and thepromising rider willendeavor to atone forany past faults by winning a block onevery horse he rides, if such ispossible.

Motto was again heavily backed in thesecond race, but ran disappointingly.

Asked by a friend if lie beat the firstrace, Pittsburg Phil's answer was to godown in his pocket and withdraw a bunchof tickets on Royal Plush the thickness ofa pack of playing-cards. He met withpoor success throughout the day until thelast race, when he pulled out somewhat byplaying Kathleen.

Ed Purser bet some money on the "hotthing," Joan. The filly ran well at herfirst attempt and will probably do betternext time out.

By Holly held some Centurion ticketson the last race.

Charley t^uinn placed some bets on ElTirano. The delay at the post killed hischance of winning"

Abe Levy did not look as pleasant asusual after the Roy Alfonso race. He hada pood bet down on the bay colt.

Grannan was reported to have won $5000by the victory of Ferris Hartman.

Harry Harris, the partner of GeorgeWheelock, took one bet of $1000 on White-stone from Grannan.

One of the happiest men on the racetrackyesterday was Ferris Hartman. the p<spularcomedian of the Tivoli. Barney Schreibernamed his good Woodlands gelding afterthe man of mirth, and on each of the geld-ing's two former attempts the latter hadbeen loyal to his namesake and had hischecks down. Not only that, but Ferris•whispered itaround among the membersof the company of which, he is jestersupreme that they had better have a betdown on Barney's youngster, and on hislirst start the Tivoli company was wellrepresented at the track. Theyoungster ran unplaced ami at hissecond start the comedian's horse talk wasspent on ears that heard not. This timehe tinished third. Yesterday Ferris wasalone in his glory, not even Phil Bransontaking stock enough in Hartman's tip toget there in time to see the race. "W ell,yesterday he won and won easily, and thegay comedian was $300 richer in pocket.Ferris shook Carr by the hand as Felixpassed in to the weighing-room, and re-turning to the betting ring was tenderedan ovation by his friends. Stepping up onthe block alongside of Barney Schreiber,the comedian, with a face radiant withsmiles, raised his hat in acknowledgmentof the courtesy. Turning to Phil McKimhe said, "Didn't Itell youIwas no gaodtill the third act?"

BAN BURNS WILL NOT PAY.The Ghosts of the Old Embez-

zlement Cases Again inthe Light.

He Says That He Did Not Em-ploy Attorney A.L.Hart to

Defend Him.

The half-forgotten suits which werebrought against Dan Burns in the Sacra-mento courts, and in which he defendedhimself against charges of embezzling andmisappropriating State money, were oncemore given publicity ina paper filed in theCounty Clerk's office yesterday. The doc-ument was Burns' answer to the suit of A.L. Hart to recover several thousand dollarsin attorney's fees. He itwas who defendedBurns when the charges were being pressedagainst the ex-boss, and Hart thought hisservices worth a large amount.

As his answer shows, Burns, the defend-ant, is erf a different opinion. He does not\u25a0want to pay for the services rendered, andtherefore denies that he owes Hart any-thingat all.

Upon a shortage in his accounts amount-ing to $31,734 64, which Burns, the thenSecretary of State, could not satisfactorilyaccount for, he was indicted by the GrandJury of Sacramento and was tried inboththe Police and the Superior courts of thatcounty.

Hart set forth that he defended Burnson an indictment in the Superior Court ofSacramento on November 2f>, 18*1; againon December 2,1884, he defended Burnson six indictments for embezzlement andfour for felony, and on November 24, Ishs,he defended him and his bondsmen in asuit to recover the money missing. Allthese claims of Hart are mentioned inBurns' answer and his defense ineach isthe same. He says he never employedHart to defend him and what was done byHart was done gratuitously and unsoli-cited.

When the cases came up, the answerstates, Hart offered his services, and hemade no agreement as to fee or condition-.The defendant thought he was workinggratuitously, and when it was all over andBurns had been released by the Sacramentocourts, Burns went to his friencr Hart andgave him $2000. This was not as a fee, theanswer is careful to state, but was given asa sign of gratitude and as a sign that thevalue of Hart's services were appreciatedHart held that the $2000 was the first pay-ment on a $25,000 fee, but this Mr. Burns,through his attorneys, Estee and Miller,denies. Itwas purely a gift of gratitudefor unsolicited services, and on that linethe case willbe fought.

POLO-PLAYERSFROM THENORTH.

Army Officers From WallaWalla WillPlay Against

Burlingame.

THE PUBLIC MAY VIEW IT.

Talbot CliftonWillSoon StartHis Daily Coach— A Tan-

dem Club.

The public willsoon have an opportunityto get a taste of polo, and at the same time

the polo-players at Burlingame willhavetheir first chance to test their prowessagainst an outside team. The officers ofthe Fourth United States Cavalry, sta-tioned at Walla Walla, have for some time-been trying to arrange to play with theBurlingame people, and now about all thepreparations have been made for a tourna-

ment to begin on the 30th of this month.The Riverside Polo Club has been asked tojoin in the tournment, but itis not certainyet that itwilldo so.

The Walla Walla people willbring downa team of five players, about a dozen poniesand a number of men to care for them.This all will cost a good deal of money,and, in order to help out, the BurlingameClub will charge an admission fee to thegames. Special trains will be run fromthis city landing the visitors at the grounds.Tickets willbe sold to the public coveringthe fare both ways and admission to thegrounds.

The tournament will probably cover aweek, with games on Saturday, the 30thinst.. and the following Wednesday andSaturday. Until it is definitely knownwhether the Riverside Club willsend up ateam the schedule of games willnot be set-tlednpon.

The Walla Walla officers have beenplaying for some time, and several of themhavt had considerable experience in theEast. The younger officers in the armyhave been playing polo of late years con-siderably, as it adds much to their horse-manship, particularly in teaching themcommand over their horses.

Lieutenant Cassat, a son of PresidentCassat of the Pennsylvania Railway is themost prominent member of the northernteam and is an experienced polo-player.

The Burlingame team of four will bemade up from a few regular players, name-ly: Harold Wheeler, H. R. Simpkins, R.M. Tobin, J. S. Tobin, John Lawson, W. P.A. Brewer, C. P. Tobin, J. P. H. Howardand H. H.Hinshaw. But C. P. Tobin andBrewer will probably be absent, and thereremain very few to chose from. Judgingfrom the remarks of visitors, old polo-players from India and the Eastern States,the* Burlingame players would not rankvery high on their fields. This is due tofliefact that they have had no opportuni-ties to play withcrack players, just as menwillnever learn to play good billiards un-less they have some practice withexperts.So the Burlingame people do not lookforward with great confidence to victoiyover the men from the north and thesouth, while they welcome the opportunityto get some good lessons. The men atRiverside are reported to play a fine game.

The polo grounds at Burlingame are inexcellent condition at present

—green,

springy and smooth. They become dryand dusty in summer, as the club has noarrangement for watering them. However,a new ten-acre polo field is being laidoutnearer the clubhouse, with pipes to supplywater to keep itgreen the year round. Ttwillbe ready next year for permanent use.

Grounds are also being laid out for trap-shooting, and a supply of special electrictraps has been brought from the East.This was an inducement for a number oftrap-shooters to join the club lately, andthat sport willin future be a feature of theclub.

Talbot Clifton's new daily stage line fromthe Palace Hotel to Burlingame will bestarted as soon as the coach he had madein England arrives. He willprobably runonce a week or so as far as Menlo. Thecoach will leave the Palace Hotel in themorning and return from Burlingame inthe evening. The distance covered willbenineteen miles each way. He will havethe use also of the club coach, and two orthree other members will take turns withhim at the whip. The charge for passagewillbe about $2 50 with something extrafor the box seat. To keep up the properlyappointed coaches, care for the twenty-fivethoroughbred horses am' have everything"quite rit" will take a lot of money, andMr. Clifton thinks he will be extremelyluckyifhe comes out even. But he will,he says, have given the people of San Fran-cisco a taste ofgood old coaching.

Several of the men at Burlingame arestarting a tandem club. Five or six ofthem have traps and tandem horses, anditis proposed to have periodical tandemmeets once a week or so and drive ondown toward Menlo or some other placewhere the roads are good, have a lunchtogether and then drive back home.

PHYSIOGNOMY AS A SCIENCE.The Right and Title to a Book

on the Subject Nowon Trial.

Dr.J. Simms Says Mrs. M.StantonHas Infringed His Copy-

RIGHT.

The taking of testimony in the case ofJoseph Simms against Mary O. Stantonwas continued before United States Com-missioner Heacock yesterday. Mrs. ClaraFoltt and Joseph D. Redding appeared ascounsel for Dr. Simms, while Mrs. Stan-ton's interests were represented by Whea-ton, Kalloch & Kierce and Fisher Ames.The trouble arose over a book on physi-ognomy which Dr. Simms copyrightedand published. Mrs. Stanton later pub-lished a book on the same subject and Dr.Simms now asserts that she pirated manyof his ideas and took copious extracts fromhis volume.

The entire session was taken Tipby Mrs.Stanton in reading extracts from Dr.Simms' work and the corresponding pas-sages in her own book. She then quotedfrom the works of other authors to showthat they had published the same ideasyears before Simms had ever thought ofwritinga book. She insisted upon makingcomments upon everything she testified toarid Mrs. Foltz vigorously objected.Finally Mrs. Stanton was allowed to baveher own way,"as the Commissioner is onlyempowered to take the testimony as givenand note the objections.

Attorney Wheaton had very little to doexcept correct an occasional lapse of gram-mar on the part o< his client. In thisrespect Dr. Simms notes a number oflapses in Mrs. Stanton's book. For in-stance, "Where the noses of scientists is ob-served to be shorter and DToader" ;"Pugnoses, hence pugnacity, the verb express-ive of a quarrelsome disposition."

"Any schoolboy versed in grammar,"comments the doctor, "could inform Mrs.Stanton that pugnacity is a noun and nota verb." He also accuses her of spellingBradlaugh, Bradlaw; Laocoon, Laokoon ;Hercules, Herakles, 1' and Patrick Henry,Henri.

Toward the close of the session Mrs.Stanton began reading from a book writtenby Professor Ross of Edinburgh over a cen-

tury ago. Itwas bound and had the ap-pearance of a bulky volume. Mrs. Foltz,after a time, became a little suspicious,and going around to Mrs. Stanton's chair,found that lady reading from a manu-script c»py of the book. She at once ob-jected, and Mrs. Stanton's attorney re-marked that her objection was well taken,as the original volume should be pro-duced. Commissioner Heacock ordered allthe testimony in that line stricken out.The case willbe continued this afternoon.

THE AWFUL SIEGE OF DELHIExperience of Mrs. Harriet

Tytler During the Reign

of Terror.

Executions and Murders the

Order of the Day—AnEventful Life.

There are few women whose lives havebeen so eventful and thrilling as that ofMrs. Harriet Tytler, who is now in thecitylecturing on India. Mrs. Tytler en-joys the distinction of having been the

only woman who was present at the ter-rible siege of Delhi, which shocked thestoutest hearts and drove men to madness.

Mrs. Tytler belongs to a race of soldiers.Her father was an officer, her husband anofficer and she is a mother of officers.She is now 65 years of age, and fifty ofthese years have been spent inIndian gar-risons. She is a pleasant little woman,bright and intelligent."Iwas born in India," she said yester-

day. "I am a Hindustanee by instinct,and pray to my Maker in that tongue. Ihave had an eventful career. My motherwas a woman of French descent, whomarri«d my father in England. They re-turned to India shortly after their mar-riage and a few years later Iwas born.Almost the first thingIcan remember is atrip with my parents up the Ganges.There was a dreadful famine in the coun-try at 'the time, and both banks of theriver were lined with human beings whowere dying of starvation. We went tothe assistance of some, but could affordthe poor wretches but little relief. Intimeoffamine the Ganges is fairly covered withcorpses or skeletons. Th* natives believethe river is sacred, and all they pray foris that their bodies may be washed in itswaters after lifehas tied."

Mrs. Tytler then went to England to beeducated, and on her return to India sheheard of her father's death. She was mar-ried to Colonel Kobert C. Tytler soon afterand followed him into the fever-strickendistricts of the peninsula. The great ex-perience of her life, however, was at themassacre and siege of Delhi, where shewas the only woman with the troops."Ilook back upon that terrible period in

my history withpain and horror after allthese years," said Mrs. Tytler. "IOOUldhave escaped the sufferings that fell to mylot afteAvard had Inot decided to re muiuby my husband's side. He entreated m«to leave Delhi while there was yet time,but Ideclined to do so.

"During the siege Ilived with my twochildren in a cart covered with rug*. 1was doing nicely until June 21, 1857, whenmy son, whom Ichristened Stuulc \Delhi-Force was born. Itwas a brightmoonlight night and the shells wen- fall-ingabout us everywhere. Allthe clothingIhad for the little stranger was aptoceolflannel. Iwas my own nurse, and hadlittle comforts to enjoy, but our dangerwas so imminent that t did not think ofinconveniences.

"During the time we were there Isawmen butchered by fiends as ifthey were cat-tle. Isaw battalions mowed down likograss to the cry, 'No quarter.' Executions,assassinations, crimes of every descriptionwere so frequent we became in a wayhardened to all we saw. My family Hadescaped the massacre with a poor supplyof clothing and of course we suffered ter-ribly. The bombardment was incessant,and shells burst about us inevery direc-tion. Yet through it all my little babynever winked an eye."

The story of Mrs. Tytler's life during thegreat Sepoy rebellionreads likea romance.She gives a curious explanation of thecauses that led to the mutiny,' the mainone being the alleged fact that the Englishgreased the cartridges for the Mohamme-dan soldiers. Her husband's regiment de-serted him almost to a man, but he waswell thought of by his officers, and as a re-sult they spared the lives of himself andfamily.

Mrs. Tytler will deliver the first of aseries of lectures at the old Young Men'sChristian Association Hail on Sutter streetthis afternoon. Bhe will relate remi-niscences of the rebellion and with the aidofcurios brought with her from India willgive an illustration of the scenes of horrorshe saw and tne privations endured for bomany years.

MR. M`BIRNEY'SPAIR OF WIDOWS.

One Comes From the East toClaim the Homestead of

the Other.

A QUEER LEGAL TANGLE.

How a Gay Deceiver Was Sup-ported by Two Confiding

Women.

Samuel Mcßirney was a gay deceivervrho lived and died in the trusting smilesof two wives who loved and supportedhim, and he is probably even now chuck-ling in glee over the legal tangle which hisevil ways made ofthe women's affairs. Hewas married iirst in Ohio. In1874 he cameto California, and while still fettered to hisOhio love he bestowed the remnant of hisaffections upon a Western woman whowas divorced from her husband, and, asshe thought, legally married her.

With extensive assistance from wife No.2Mcßirney succeeded in acquiring somelittleproperty, and upon this and a triflethat now and then came from Ohio hemanaged to liveinpeace and to work butlittle. When he died his local widow tileda homestead upon the property which sheand Mcßirney owned in commen. Butthe news of the death of the doubly weddedMcßirney traveled eastward rapidly, andthe widow in Cincinnati sent out here tosee what property her long-absent husbandhad left. She found first of all a house andlot on Pine street, near Broderick, in thiscity,and living upon itwas Mrs. McßirneyNo. 2 and a family of three grown-up chil-dren. Mrs. Mcßirney found, too, that ahomestead had been filed on the property,and this she moved to set aside. The casewas tried yesterday before Judge Slack,and for piirely legal reasons the EasternMrs. Mcßirney 's petition was granted, andthe homestead has been set aside to her.

By the testimony submitted yesterda}- itwas shown that Mcßirr-r-y's course of de-ception was complete ana premeditated.

Mrs. Mary A., who was the Ohio wife,through her attorney, submitted letterswhich her recreant spouse had written toher, and also the majriage certificate datedyears ago back in the '60's, which bore testi-mony to the fact that she and Mcßirneywere one.

Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney, who wa3 theCalifornia wife, had an 'answer to thecertificate, however. Her husband had toldher, she said, that years before he hadmarried her he had met a woman in theEast, that she had borne him. a son, butthat the woman had never been anythingto him. To quiet her he had said, he hadforged a marriage certificate, and althoughshe kept it and believed in it,itmeantnothing. Itwas wife number 2, however,whom he was deceiviug ( for the certificateshowed on its face that it was a legal docu-ment.

Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney showed alsothat the property upon which the home-stead bad been tiled was purchased almostentirely with her money after her mar-riage with Mcßirney, but here a strangeturn of the law takes it from her. Unfor-tunately, as was said by the court, shenever had been the wife of Mcßirney andcould therefore have no claim upon com-munity property. On the other hand Mrs.Mary A. Mcßirney had always been herhusband's wife, so to speak, and half of allproperty which he left at his death be-longed of right to her. Itmade no legaldifference, so far as the case under trialwas concerned, whose money purchasedthe prof>erty so long; as Mcßirney had alawful title to it,and it then became com-munity property between himself and histrue wife. She, therefore, was given thehomestead.

Mrs. Eudoxia Mcßirney has still anotherchance, however. In a civilaction she canshow that it was her money which boughtthe property, and so little was Mcßirneyfinancially interested in it her attorneyshave no doubt that it will all be givenback to her.

MUST PAY THE BOND.Charles A.Bayly's Drugstore Attached

by the Sheriff.Sheriff Whelan placed a keeper in charge

of Charles A. Bayly's drugstore at 227Grant avenue yesterday morning.

Bayly is one of the bondsmen of AliceAdrien, the keeper of a disorderly houseat 722 Commercial street, who was ckargedwith keeping two minors in her resortand who forfeited her bail after a ruling ofJudge Wallace made it apparent that shestood a good chance of conviction.

Bayly qualified in the sum of $5000,sayiiighe owned $10,000 worth of property.The defendant did not appear in courtwhen her case was called on Tuesday lastand Judge Wallace ordered her bondsforfeited. It was in a suit begun by thecity and county to recover the anionnt ofthe hail that the attachment was levied.The other bondsman, P.

ANOTHER TERM FOR SMITH.He Would Have Done Better

Had He Held His Tongue

Last Friday.

A Quick Conviction for the CarRobbery— Wilson's

Record.

John Smith, who raised such a scene inJudge Wallace's courtroom last Friday

morning, is probably wishing he had heldhis tongue. He was sentenced to twentyyears' imprisonment for robbing a gro-cery, and itwas intended to let the chargeof robbery for holding-up a Jackson-streetcar drop. On account of his behavior,however, the charge was brought to trialyesterday, and within a few minutes afterthe case went to the juryhe was convicted.He willbe sentenced for the second chargenext Monday.

Some sympathy and considerable criti-cism were caused by the sentences whichJudge Wallace imposed on Smith and hispartner in crime, John Wilson, last Fri-day. Wilson was given forty years on twocharges ©f robbery and Smith was giventwenty years on one charge. It waspleaded in favor of the two criminals thatboth were only 17 years of age, and alsothat they tnen appeared for the first timebefore a court as defendants. Inview ofthis fact and because Judge Wallace im-posed the full limit in each case, the courtwas severely commented upon on allsides, but a letter from Portland, Or., set-ting forth the record of John Wilson,shows that Judge Wallace was not farwrong in his judgments. .

The letter is from Detective H.D. Griffinof the Portland police force, to DetectiveEd Griliinof the local police. Itis as fol-lows:

Sir: Yours of the 10th came to hand, and !also tho photos. Among the bunch is one very jfamiliar face, No. 12,533, whom you call Wil-son. He is known to us from childhood andwas raised near here. Inthe year 'B9 he wasarrested here by Detective Barry and myselffor stealing a watch from a man on the Eastside of tho river,but was turned over to hisparents, who lived in tho State of Washingtonat a place called Washongal. In 1891 he wasarrested by Detectives Summers and Day forrobbing a boat house with two others, and wasturnea over to the Boys' and Girls' AidSociety.lie waft at that time registered as 17 years ofage.' 7His name isCharles Donnelly,alias "Kid"Donnelly.

On March 22, 1893, he was arrested in com-pany with a man named Lewis by Simmons !Gaetzmacher, Hokapplc and Griffin"forrobbingthe reeidenee of L.F. Chemin in thiscitv. It

'was a daylight joband the property was recov-ered. This time he pave the name of JohnKeiman, and after a trial he was sent to theOregon "pen" for a term of four years. After ashort time he was sent to the reform schooland remained bnt a short time there. Then heescaped, and the next thing we heard of himwhs from Seattle in1898, when he, incompanywith some one else, was arrested by an officerfordoing a job in the nighttime. While theofficer was in the act of ringingfor the patrolwagon Donnelly showed fight, and alter an ex-change of shots Donnelly was woundedbybeing shot in the stomach. He recovered™mf t?me a,, ?r when he was Bent to the WallaWalla "pen." forone year aad was released in

the latter part of1894. We heard he spent onenighthere after his release, but which wav hewt-nt we cannot tell. He is a first-classman:he is also dangerous; he has been paying someattention to safe work oflate years. • • •

"H.D.Griftik.Wilson has been taken to Folsom prison.

On the way up he fought several times tofree himself from Deputies Riley and Gib-ncy, who went with him, and it was onlyafter putting all the shackles possible uponhim that he was finally safely landed. Thepolice expect to receive record of Smith ina few days.
