SOME MIDWINTER IMPRESSIONS A Chicagoan's View of Sunset * City Attractions. Some Observations Which Are Per tinent and of Interest. A Eulogy of the Great Exposition. Tbe Features of th* Affair—Not Imitative but Inde pendent. I have been requested by a citizen an lions to have the midwinter fair prove entirely successful to write down my impressions of this exposition and to state what I know of the feeling in reference to it now prevailing in some of the eastern states. First impressions of the midwinter fair are not at all likely to fade out, but will surely become more distinct and deep as the months roll by and visits to the Sunset city are repeated. I have spent bnt two whole days there, and hence such impressions as I have are my first. They are of increasing sur prise that so much has been done, and with inch splendid results, by private enterprise and liberality in San Fran cisco and in the different counties of thia great state; great, but as yet as tonishingly deficient in population. In proportion to what Chicago and Illinois people (numbers taken into account) did for the world's fair, that which has been done in California for the midwin ter fair stands out in distinguished re lief. To make this fact salient it ia necessary to use again a commonplace, aud remind tbe reader that the popula tion of Chicago is as large aB that of all California, and that Illinois numbers -near 5,000,000 inhabitants. The $10, --000,000 which was voted and subscribed in tbat vast city was not a greater sum in comparison than tbe $1,000,000 or bo which was given by citizens of San Fran cisco. And when it is remembered tbat California gave promptly a sum nearly ai large as tbat appropriated by Illinois for the world's fair, and when tbe fact remains that the federal government and every individual state, and tbe whole civilized world, contributed, any comparison that may be insti tuted of tbe two similar enter prises, to be fair, must be had after sufficient allowance hae been made to the midwinter fair for its local origin and maintenance. It is called inter state, and international, and it may truthfully be described as either or both, with reference to the exhibits; but the financial burden of tbe mar velous achievement is upon tbe shoul ders of a few man of engacity and pub's is spirit, who are leaders among those who are attempting to make here a state that shall have no eqnal in the American anion. Tbis ia what, inevitably, an easterner observes of tbe spirit ani mating true Californians. And the mid winter fair will do more than all else to illustrate this spirit, and spread tbe re port of it throughout the ecu..try and in other lands. For after sufficient allow- auce bag been made ou account oi tbe less ambitious purposes and tne corres ponding email coat ol thia fair, there still ia enough left of magnificence and extent to justify a comparison with even tbe world's Columbian exposition. That thie is so, the pt ople oi the United States are, or soon will be, informed, through the press and by returning early visitors. Great lairs are not hackneyed ; there are more people interested in them today than ever before. Everybody has read descriptions of the world's fair, but few individuals in the total oi popula tion ever aaw it. Last summer times were hard and tbe vast majority perforce remained at home. Times now are better and men and women are again traveling fox ob servation or pleasure. The tide of travel is towards the Pacific coast. San Fran cieco is rapidly filling ud with tourists and Los Angeles and i'asadetia are al ready full. Fivery hotel in thie city and all the principal boarding houses are troubled to make room for their gueate. It is not the case every year, and it waa apprehended that this year it would not be so. Largely it ia tbe result of Cal ifornia's splendid representation at the world'a fair. Her wonderful exhibits there and the literature distributed from thence over the country have proved of immense advantage. In the same way, if not to an equal extent, will the mid winter fair benefit the etate as a whole, and every part of the state. There is not space for many' particu lars, but let me cay tbat at the Sunset city there is lees of architectural grand eur than was seen at Chicago, but even in architecture there is much of which the builders of the midwinter fair do well to be proud. Such structures as were needed have beon handsomely pro vided, and few in comparison as theße are, they together form a beautiful and imposing spectacle, tbe like or equal of which it ia sale to declare will not again be seen in thia our time. Tneae build ings are not copies, but of independent deaign, by local arcbitecta, to whom tbey are a decided credit. Tbis is aaid with the grand structures which distin guished the world's fair indistinct mem ory. Those on this coast that did not see the lattsr cannot afford to forego seeing the former, new offered to tbeir view at San Francisco. Tba exhibits at tbe midwinter fair, while comparatively email in extent and limited in variety, yet so far aa tbey do extend, and tbat is far enough, tbey are of the same kinds and of equal artis tic and educational value. Tbey may be seen to great advantage, for it is not questionable that whit may be eeeu well in a week'a time, in of more practi cal use than that whicb may not be taken thoroughly into view in a whole six roontbs. It doss not cost a big Bum nor use np too much time to acquire a knowledge of the midwinter fair. To be sure one may be beguiled iuto staying indefinitely upon tbe beautiful grounds in which the fair is built, but ruch be guilement is only for those of excep tional leisure. Tourists and people of business can compass this fair in a week's time and at a cost per head tbat would have seemed in Chicago quite ridiculous. My impression then is that the mid winter fair, even when retrospectively compared with tho world's fair, is ex tremely beautify! —even grand and im posing—and tsorth a dozen times over tbe expense el a visit to it from any part of the country. That people in great numbers will be drawn thither by its splendid attractions, is regarded aB cer tain. The presß of the country is ad vised of what is there displayed, and it is busying itself in efforts to enlist the interest of all the people. As to tho Chicago press, in grateful return for what California did for the world's fair, that ie unanimous in giving eucourag ment. Tbe Chicago Herald, besides its two correspondents resident in San Francisco, has a staff correspondent on the gronnd, who will remain till the fair is closed. It is not possible there ia room for doubt tbat less interest than is mani fested abroad ie taken at home in tbe midwinter fair. Southern California will be benefited more than any other section by tbe display, and it is tbe common duty of all the inhabitants to liberally maintain in tbe Southern Cali fornia building an unsurpassable ex hibit of the rich products of this half of tbe state. To fail to do this would be to drfmage the common interest almost more than the world'e fair promoted it. Probably there ie no fear of this, and yet there is a rumor about that the men in charge oi Loo Angeles' interests at the fair are finding it diffi cult to raise tbe money that is needed or will be required in the fair's progress. Tbe high spirit of the citi zens must be kept up to the adventure point, for sure it ia that whatever sums oi money and expenditure of effort are made in this direction, will, without long waiting, be paid back to tbe community fourfold. It is impossible for the mid winter fair to fail, even partially ; it will succeed gloriously, though not a dollar returns directly to its originators; and Hhonld Los Angeieß and Southern Cali fornia prove unwisely parsimonious, or narrowly suspicious, the loss will fall to this section and not to any other. Francis A. Eastman. HE WORE DIAMONDS. Ban Goldberger Will Be Fined for Steal ing Jewels. Detective Dillon of San Francisco ar rived in tbe city yesterday to get Ben Goldberger, the swell young man whom Detective Bopqui arrested Tuesday on request of Chief Crawley of San Fran cieco. Goldberger came to this city with $3500 worth of diamonds belonging to hie father. He is said to be a very wayward younj man. It is alleged he stole the diamonds several months ago, going to Stockton where he pawned some of them. He then came to this city. CHINAMEN SENT BACK. THE CITIZKNS OF FULLERTON TAKE VIGOROUS ACTION. Sevrin Mongolians Sent to an Orange Orchard Brought Back to the Bta tlon and Shipped on tbo Train to Low Angoles. There was quite an exciting time at Fullerton yesterday. Porter Bros, sent down seven Chins men from Los Angeles to pick aud pack oranges at the Benchley raacb, a mile north of Fullerton. It was soon noised around Fullerton and vicinity aud created much feeling. The sentiment of the people was easily aroused und it took shape in a meeting. As a result 25 or 30 cUlsens went in a body to tho ranch and in'ormed thb Chinamen that they must leave At ii rat thoy did not seem inclined to ! follow the suggestions of tho ciliz ns, but they coucluded to do so, and were brought back to the station at Fullerton I with tbeir baggage yesterday afternoon | and were put ou tho evening train lor Loa Angeles when it came along. No violence WM show n to the Ohina i mon, but tLe men engaged in the affair were determined to carry out their pious aud Uid so. THE EMMA JUCH CASE. Cbl: f Jastico Baas.jr i)tsew.r« aa Willi tha ■ ;■ ■ ii of Ihn Cocrt. That old case oi E-.cner vs. Kmma | Juch et al., which has Wen lingering in | the courts for two or three years past, | was heard from again yesterday when Supreme Court Cleik Sesnon received a i opinion from Chief Justice Beatty to the order of the supreme court of January 11th, denying a rehearing oi the cauce. The chief justice cays that tho af fidavits upon which ttie attachment was diseolvsd piesunt no real or sub stantial conflict as to the facts. The attorney for the respondents made an affidavit slating in general terms that at the time tbe attachment of the prop erty of the Juch Opera company in Los Angeles issued they were actually re siding in the city. Uut Chief Justice Reatty enys i liis was merely his opinion; that the affidavits filed b; the plaintiff were, on the other band, full and epocific as to the facts from which the question of residence is to be determined and wore uncontra dicted. These affidavits, he holds, show clear ly tbat the defendants had been ior yearr, residents ci New York; that they were in California ot the time of the attachment as members of the Juch Opera company, traveling Ir im place to place, giving performances according to a definite programme and iuteuding to leave tbe state within a lew days: Ho holds that the order of the supe rior court cannot be uphold upon any theory, except that the mere proaeuceof a defendant in the state at tie time an action is commenced, order circum stances which enable the plaintiff to secure a personal service of the sum mons, will make him a resident within the meaning of the attachment law. The chief justice, in conclusion, Bays that he does not aeßent to this proposi tion, and that he is cure the court would hesitate to affirm it. Superior Court Nutus. Tue Maldonado brothers hud a etny of execution granted them by Judge Smith yesterday, until April 9th, at which time the supreme court will be in session in Los Augelos and their ap peal be beard, Wm, Drew pleaded guilty before Judge Smith yesterday in the superior court, to a charge of burglary committed at Palmdale.

He Talks About Tammany and Its Perfect Organization. The Dr. Parkbarst Kaida and Judge Dlvver's Views—Tho Senate Inves tigation—A Pleasant Chat on Thing. Generally. There is no political organization in the United States which has such a fas cination for the average man aB Turn manv. Its managers and leaders are invested with that halo wbioh necessarily sur rounds such an immense and successful political machine. The men who lead its discipline! army to victory have an interesting per sonality, and in the breathUg spell be fore the next campaign some of them are Booking relaxation on the Pacific coast. Among the Tammany bravcß no one ie oitener mentioned than Judge Divver, wbo arrived in Los Angoles Tuesday night, and is at the Hollenbeck, during a visit which he expects to make in Southern California oi a week or two. Judge Divver is one of tbe police jndgfcH of New York city, and a very in fluential man in one of the banner Democratic districts. He has presided as a police magistrate with distinction for four years putt, and bis term will not expire for six years more, the ap pointment being for 10 years. '"I came out for relaxation," he said to a Hkrai.d reporter last evening, "and my son ia with me, not being in very good benlth. I don't know why it is, but for some rea«on he feeis much better, even tha first da 7he is here. "I have b en very much pleased to meat several old New York friends in San Francisco, among (hem Judge Cof fey and Auditor Broderick. and have been Burprl»p i at the number ol New Yoikers in California. "Mr.Croker, I believe, expects toßtop in Los Angeles before going on lo Saa Francisco. He come-i by tho southern route, and will be here in a few dttje.-' Judge Divver, who is quiet end un assuming in his manner, dignified but not austere, seamed to find v Congenial subject when asked abwnt the organiza tion in wbich he is such an active labors r. Referring to the investigation of the police department ordered by the sen ate, which is the result of the Dr. Park buret raids upon ttio faiicn women ol New York city. Judge Divver said that |ho did not think it would result in afif disclosures tbat would affect Tammany. I iie spoke of the strict policy rtvziiliinoni i which were in force wben Dr. Parkhursi began bin raids which resulted infurcihk the planes where they lived, well known to the police throughout the city, into lodging houses everywhere, and ssii that the rcsr.lt bad been to largely in crease ti:C pjlic:' bu'iineis, and hai no:, as be l.ad been this to nee, iiiiii (til i effect but a baa effect upon the moral, of New York. Be did not wish to be understood ai refl?c"ug upon the in ; tive-i ol Dr. Parfch ir.it but h* though! tho p.il'cy wh: Ii had been im.u united had done Uiiinii'jly more harm iUuc good. (tweaking of Tammany's organization Judge Divver said it teemed to be a very perfect one. The city was divided into districts, each of which had a lender, and tha districts into precincts, each oi which nnd a leader who were respunsi ble to tbe district leader. Tbe district leuderß form the executive committee, Which has a leader also. Recently the : execntive committee has heeu increased to hi) members, the increase bemu I thought necessary to divide the onerouj j labors cf the district leaders. In New York cily at present, there in not a department oCiciitl who has beer, appointed tbruugb tbe influence of Tammany. Tbe organization does not pay so much attention to state politics as to its legitimate field of operations iv New York city. Judge Divver thought it wbb too soon to talk about tbe next national cam paign. Tammany would be heard from when tbe time comes. Neither did he caie to talk much about President Clevoland, although he euid tbat be bad never seen Richard Croker work harder or more conscientiously for the election cf any man than for Grover Cleveland. POLICE COURT CASES. Only a Few Clot Into tho Toil's. Yesterday. Henry Wilson, an o.d soldier, was tried by Judge Seaman and a jury yes terday on a charge of petty larceny. Wilson ierides in a cabin at the foot of Commercial street. Several weeks ago he shared bis humble home with Tom Anderson, who is now serving a term for the same crime with which Wilson is charged. Two blocks and tackle, valued al $IU, were stolen from a railroad con tractor, and afterward fouod in Wilson's cabin. When he and Anderson at tempted to dispose of them they were arrested. Tbe jury in the case of Wil son stood lUfor acquittal and two for con viction, lie will be tried again on the 21st. Ah Tom and Mock Chuck wore fined $50 each for selling lottery tickets. Half a dozen drunks and aa many vagrants were given the usual sentence. ASSOCIATED CHARITIES. The Third Ward (lonrertnce Held Last Night. The Third ward conference of the As sociated Charities mot last evening in tbe parlors oi the First Presbyterian church, with Governor Gosper in the chair. Reports from various commit tees were submitted which showed tbat the work ie making progress in the Third ward. J.O. Maclean, chairman of the finance committee, reported that arrangements had been made to commence canvassing tbe ward for memberships immediately. The membership is only $1 per annum. It is hoped that thoee on whom the agents will call will respond promptly, as the amount required in so small and relieves them from great respossibilities in the matter of giving charity indis criminately.

Judge Shews' attention was taken up yesterday with the case of Wm. U. Burkhart vs. the Witmer Bros, com pany for $12,000 damages, end for $0126 for labor and material furnished in keeping the Cahuenga Valley dummy road in repair. Mr. Burkhart claims that he held an agreement for a lease oi tbe road from W timer Bros, and expended the money in bringing the road up to first-class condition. Later he claims that the road waa sold to other parties and he bag nothing to show for the money be put into it. He wants VV itmer Bros, to pay bim for what be did and the damage occasioned him by the transaction. Tha defendants deny that be has any claim upon them for what be did, tbat they did not own the road and the work was not done at their request. Mr. Burkhart, who does not seem to be very alert or sharp, was on tbe wit ness stand nearly all day and explained all tbe transactions in which he spent money for tbe road. Tbe trial was not concluded at tbe time of adjournment. BERNARD'S RAZOR. Convicted of Simple Assault, He Gets Thirty Days. Frank Bernard was tried in Judge Smith's court yesterday on a charge of assaulting Minnie Lefebre, an Alameda street crib woman,with a deadly weapon. She testified tbat the man, who is a typical hoodlum in appearance, while in ber place tried to cut her with a razor. In his defense the defendant swore that the woman robbed him of $7, and when lie asked for it, snatched a razor out of his vest pocket and began to scream bloody murder. He said he took the razor from her and threw it on the bed and then ran away, as be did not want to be arrested. The jury waa out about 15 minutes and returned a verdict of Bimpleaesault. Bernard was sentenced by the court to 30 dayß in the county jail. IT WAS NOT CONSPIRACY. HAttGITT AND MJNAGHAN NOT GUILTY OF ONE CHARGE.

(Tsed ia Millions of Homes— 40 Years the Standard A VERY SINGULAR CONTRACT And an Agreement to Pay Deficiency Under Sale in Foreclosure Pro ceedings. Why It. N. Wilson Claim' Ha Should Not Pay Money for F. H. Bar clay-Agreement! Writ ten ud Parole. There wae on trial before Judge Clark yesterday quite an interesting euit in which Jesse W. Woodroof was plaintiff and Robert N. O. Wilson was defendant. The facts of tbe case are quite novel on account of certain agreements made. In April, 1889, Mr. Woodroof loaned to F. it. Barclay and Mary M. Barclay $2200 and took their note for it, as well as a mortgage on lots 17, 18 and 19, block 1 of Monte Vista. In March, 1891, the note and mort gage being overdue and unpaid Mr. Woodroof was about to bring euit of foreclosure, wben Mr. Wilson requested him not to sue for four months. Tbe plaintiff alleges that Mr. Wilson agreed if tbe note was not paid by that time be would pay any or all deficiency which might remain at tbat time. Tbe plaintiff did not sue until No vember, when, the note still being un paid be sued and secured judgment for $3 '.-10.7(3- The property was sold, bat no part of the deficiency has been paid, and tbe defendant, Mr. Wilton, declin ing to pay, the present Bait was brought to recover from him judgment for $8290. --7G, tbe amount of the deficiency. In answer to tbe allegations the de fendant stated that in March, 1891, he had been negotiating a sale of lairds on the Monte Vista tract belonging to F. H. Barclay and wife, not including the lands in plaintiff's mortgage, in connec tion with other lands in the Tejunga rancbo and water rights at a price that would have enabled them to pay all [heir indebtedness. He alleges that the plaintiff came to him and told him that Mr. Barclay was indebted to him in tbe sum of $2200; that be bad obtained it by fraudulent representation, and was liable to crim inal prosecution, and unless it was p.tid he would institute criminal proceedings against Barclay. The defendant claims that Mr. Wood roof agreed, if he would guarantee the payment, that he would nor, prosecute and would reirain from circulating any reports that tho money waa ootained by fraud. Mr. Wileoa alleges that in spite of this agreement Mr. Woodroof did industri ously circulate such reports in Los An gelea and began criminal proceedings against Mr. Barclay in Justice Stanton's court; also that he tried to have Mr. Barclay indicted by the grand jury. He claims that by reason of these things Mr. Woodroof broke his agree ment and by tbe failure to consummate the sale, caused by the reports, the en tire consideration of the agreement failed. The facts were testified to yesterday by witnesses on both sides, and all the testimony being in late in the afternoon, tbe cause was submitted without argu ment. SHE CANNOT INTERVENE. The Buprerao Court Kules Upon a Norel Application. Quite a novel proposition was enbmit ted to the supreme court in the case of Leonis vs. Biscailuz, an opinion in which was received at the Los Angeles office yesterday. Tbe parties filed a stipulation that tbe judgment and order appealed from be reversed and the cause be remanded to tbe superior court for a new trial, and moved tor a judgment in accord ance with the stipulation. The motion was opposed by Mrs. Vic toria J. de Yorba, who filed an affidavit tbat since tbe rendition of the judg ment appealed from she had recovered a money judgment against Mr. Biscai luz and caused an execution to be levied on the land in controversy. She averred that since tbe levy Leonis and Biscailuz arranged for a consent judgment by which Biscailuz would be divested of his interest or title to the land, and tbat he is insolvent, so she could not collect her judgment. She therefore asked to be allowed to inter vene in the appeal, file briefs, and that tbe court dispose of the cause on its merits, without reference to the stipula tion. Upon tbe application the supreme court sayß in part: "This application is certainly a novel one. Under section 387 of tbe code of civil procedure one who has an interest in the matter in litigation may be per mitted to intervene before tbe trial of an action ; but there is no authority for such intervention after judgment and while the cause is pending in this court on appeal, nor has a stranger to the record any right to call upon this court to investigate and pass upon the merite of an appeal, wben the parties to tbe record have consented to an affirmance or reversal of tbe judgment without such investigation and decision." The motion for leave to intervene and file a brief is denied and the judgment aud order appealed from is reversed in accordance with the stipulation. THE FIRE COMMISSIONERS. Tho Chief Keports Violation of Bales l>ur!ux Bin Abieuoe. The fire commissioners held tbeir reg ular meeting yesterday morning, Messrs.
