The examination of political statistics is
a subject not without interest, and suggests
some comparisons of local importance.
For instance, early in the count of the
vote the RECORD UNION said it was of
value in political calculation to know that

mainder about offset each other politically.
leaving Republican Sacramento, Alameda
and Los Angeles to stand off" Demo-
cratic San Francisco. Harrison has 1854
more votes than Cleveland in this State !;
the three Republican counties gave him
S,l66 and San Diego, now entitled to be on
the roll of honor, adds ,479, swelling the
sum of the maiorities of the four counties
to 9,645.
Again, Blaine led Cleveland in 1884
l3,lSl votes, while in 1888 Harrison leads
him 1854 Sacramento county in 1884
gave Republican majority of 1859 and
a plurality for Blaine of 1,7O3. But as
already shown, Sacramento did not follow
the State in 1888, which shows decline
OF 4,l2I from the Blaine vote. On the
contrary, Sacramento cast within 317 as
many votes in a Republican majority over
all as in 1884.
In 1880 the State went Democratic, for
General Hancock. Between 1880 and 1888
the Democratic vote in Sacramento county,
with the growth of population, increased
63l, but the Republican vote in that time
Increased 962, or 60 per cent. of the total
increase, which was 1,625. The Republi-
can gain shown by the vote for Congress
amen is greater, the Democrats in eight
years gaining 544, and the Republicans
1913.
The Congressional Republican vote in
Sacramento county stands to her high
credit, also. The Republican candidate in
1880 had SSl majority over his Demo-
rcratic opponent, with three candidates in
the held, In 1882 the majority fell off to
asa, with four candidates contesting-it
was the year of the Democratic tidal
wave, when the Republican candidates in
every district in the State were defeated,
and solid Democratic delegation went to
Washington. But in 1884 the Republican
party in Sacramento county gave its Con-
gression candidate ,457 majority, and in
1856 l,459 majority, and in 1888 1,4s0
majority. All which political statistics
are of Republican interest and place Sac
ramento county in the forefront of the
party in the State, and still augmenting
her majorities

large proportion Of teachers are women
at least six times as many as men. The
delicate matters of school regime can be
discussed with women School Directors.
School should be regarded, not as a separ-
ate institution from the home worthy of
the name, but as the extension and COM
plement of the home We must look to
woman to make our schools more home
like"
These reasons are unanswerable in our
opinion. They are not all, however, that
may be advanced. One quite as strong is
the non-liability of women Directors to fall
into the tolls of politics, and to have in
terests that may be put under men
ace by those with axes to grind.
We ought to make up half
the Board of Education in Sacra-
mento of women. Some time it must
come about; why not now? The
very object of separating the school
election from all others, was to take
it out of the rut of political trade and
traffic, and some day the object will be ac-
complished, and the sooner the better.

What's in a Name?

Philadelphia News: The following
hearing, which occurred at the central
station to-day, presented some novelties
that are worth recording.
whats your name?" asked Magis-
trate Smith, in his most explosive tones
as q yellow-skinned night of the flat
iron stood up in the dock.
"Dam YOU" responded John Wasee-
man, in his blandest voice.
"Wh-what's th-that," chokingly
screeched the irate magistrate.
"Dam You," repeated the oblique-
eyed oriental with a chop stick smile,
spreading his mouth from ear to ear.
'How dare you swear in court, sir"
almost gasped the Mortified dispenser of
exparte justice. 'What do you mean,
sirp'
''Dam You, alice samee," responded
John with no more expression on his
face than there is in a plate of boiled
rice before it is amalgamated with milk
and sugar.
Just at this juncture Clerk Moffett
placed his white-horse moustache close
TO the right-angled ear of his honor
and whispered.
"Oh! ahl / see!" exclaimed the molli-
fed magistrate as he sighed out his
pent-up Indignation, and the red COR
puscles displaced sthe apopletic purple
that had taken possession of his usually
ruddy cheeks ''I'll hold you, Dam
You, for further hearing tomorrow.
Adjourn the court"
'The cases is all over" said Sergeant
Malip, and Lindley Murry took another
twinge in his grave as the spectators
filed out into FIFTH street wondering
what it had all be98pbout.

The Consolidation Effected.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 2o,-[Special Tele-
gram to the BEE. THE directors of the
Kansas City, Fort Scott & Gulf and Kansas
City, Springfield g. Memphis railway systems
met at the Office of General Manager George
H. Nettleton this morning The object was
to consolidate the different small companies
forming the two systems into one organiza-
ton. In the building of the Fort Scott sys-
TEN a large number of minor companies were
organized in different parts of Missouri and
Kansas and the franchises or road beds of
other railway companies bought up. This left
the system, which is under one management
and owned by the same stock holders, ,stll to
be operated under various names, such as the
Rich Hill railroad company, the Springfield
& Southern, etc. The consolidation was
matter of form wholly for the convenience of
the company IN managing its business. There
were ten separate organizations in the old
system. This morning all the roads, incud-
ing the Fort Scott &S Gulf and the Kansas
City, Springfield & Memphis were eonsoli-
dated under the name of the Kansas City.

City, Clinton & Springfield and the Current

Curious Things Brought ont at the
Trial Of Nine. Diss DeI3ar For De-
frauding the Aged and
Confiding Millionaire.
An Anostolic Message.

NEw YoRK, April 20.-The special sessions
court room was crowded this afternoonwhen
Nine Diss De Bar and her associates were
arraigned on the charge of conspiping to de-
fraud the septeguarian millionaire lawyer,
Luther r. Marsh, by means of bogus spiritual
manifestations. Carl Herr, conjurer,
showed the court how he could perform sew
eral OF Diss De Bars tricks. Lawyer Marsh
entertained the spectators with selections
from note book filled with communications
from spirits Ono, message from Peter
the apostle, of sixteen pages, was written,
Marsh said, in two minutes; 1t took
fifteen minutes to read it. st.
Anthony of Padua was also heard from.
Marsh declared his unshaken belief that
these communications really came from the
ancient worthless whose names they bore,
through Diss Debar, as did the portraits of
Shakespeare and Claudius, the Roman en-
peror, and so Marsh continued his remarka-
BILE tale, going into the details of the produc-
tion of various paintings and ''communica.
tions in a manner which couclusively proved
his mistaken belief in the supernatural char
acter of Diss Debar's performances. Frank
Lawrence and his son were discharged on
their own recognizance, and the hearing was

gram to the BEE. l-O'Conuelrs voice was in
bad shape to-day, the raw, chilly weather Of
yesterday having impaired its effectiveness,
and although Burdick in the pitchers box
gave him all the aid within his power, luck
was against him and Omaha was defeated.
The game was pretty contest between the
pitchers in which the honors were even, and
although the outielders on both sides had
considerable work to do few of the batsmen
succeeded in finding the ball "sequentiallyn
Omaha scored the only earned run and
would have had the game had II not been for
Messitt's poor work behind the bat and
several questionable decisions by the umpire
Minneapolis scored first in the fourth in
ming, Halves getting first on Messitt's muff
of his third strike. He stole second and
crossed the plate on Patton's two-bagger.
The latter took third on a passed ball and
came home while McCullom was being
thrown out at first, Messitt having again
muffed the third strike. In the eighth Mime
apolis scored two more runs on errors by
Sowders and O'Connell, both of which were
excusable, a passed ball and hit.
Omaha went out in regular order until the
fifth inning, when O'Connell scored on errors
by Robinson and Winkleman and corking
single by Burdcls In the seventh O'Con-
nell again scored on a long hit to center and
a single to the same territory by Shannon.

egram to the BEE. Mrs. w. ID. Carlile, of
Carlile-Clute fame, and her her two children
have arrived from San Francisco and are
now at the Coates house. Mrs Garlic was
shown to parlor No. z. She gave strict or
ders to allow no one to disturb her. She
said If she wanted to see any persons she
would send for them, has her meals served
in her from and refuses to be interviewed.
The only ones Mrs Carlile has consented to
see are one or two Kansas City lawyers
whom she sent for to consult regarding her
Kansas City property, consisting of two
houses and lots at the corner of jackson
avenue and Thirteenth street This prop
erty was in Mrs. Carliie's name, but
Mrs Garlic No. q nee Miss Clute,
had an attachment suit for 5000
against it. After the divorce and marriage
of Miss Clute to Mr.. Carlile, the former re-
leased the attachment. Mrs. Carlile was
also allowed $1,000 alimony by the court
which granted her a divorce, and S10,0 900 was
put into the hands of trustees for the chill
dren. All this money, representing S23, 900,
had to be paid by Miss Clute. Various at
torneys, who formerly represented Carlile or
his wife claim they have washed their hands
of the whole business and have not seen Mrs.
Carlile since her arrival.

FORT OMAHA NOTES.

The instructions given to Lieutenant Tows-
ley, who is now at the Bellevue rifle range,
were to have the range in readiness for the
seasons target practice by the lst of May
Iu accordance with his orders, he had the in
trenchmeuts cleaned and drained repaired
the "butts," and, in fact, gave the entire
range general policing. Mr.. Mitchell, over
whose farm the long range passes notified
Lieutenant Towsley that he would not allow
shooting at the 500 and 1,000ryard targets this
season on account of the possible damage to
his stock The natural consequences of this
will be that Lieutenant Towsley will have to
construct a new 500 and 1,000-yard range,
which will certainly necessitate much more
labor, and probably more time than was ex-
pected, but can assure those interested in
the reparation of the range, that under Lieu
tenant Towsley's efficient management the
range will be in readiness by the 1st of next
month

Telegram to the BEE. THE Kansas City,
Independence 81 Park railroad, which has
been trying for long time to get a northern
entrance to the city, came in with rush this
morning. Early this morning the work of
laying ties and putting down rails was com
menced on Seventh street about half a mile
east of Prospect avenue, and at noon the road
was completed to the avenue. The company
had the right of way on Seventh street, but
each time an attempt was made to build, an
injunction was served. Over twenty law
suits and injunctions have been occasioned
by these attempts Finally they determined
to stop work for a while and then carry the
road through the contested territory so rap
idly that no injunction could be got out in
time to prevent the work. Last night a long
line of loaded wagons could be seen along
the road near Mount Vernon Junction, the
eastern terminus of the road, containing ties,
rails and material. Early this morning they
moved to the scene Of action with force of
400 Workmen and in a few hours the long
contemplated Job was done.

No FrilIs for Him.

q rather vacant look and hesitating
air, ventured slowly into the dining
hall of a large uptown hotel the other
evening in New York. 1t was the usual
dinner hour, and the long room was
filed with guests. The old man paused,
scrutinized his cuff and his waistcoat.
and after making what seemed to be u
helpless effort to see the back of his
neck, he beckonedlto the head waiter.
That functionaryi hastened up, and the
old man said anxieysly:

The w2iter inspected the venerable
guest critically for a moment, and then

Cars and Lumber Burned.

Conductor jackson, of the Union Pacific
dummy, upon arriving at Sheely's station
last night discovered several cars on the b.
& M tracks on fire. Approaching the situa-
tion me ordered the engineer of his train to
back down upon the burning cars and draw
those not already in flames out of danger.
Three cars, however, were left to their
fate, as the fire had already spread
over them so as to make it impossible for the
train hands to detach them. Word was at
once sent to Omaha and Union Pacific fire
engine was dispatched to quell the flames.
BY the time the engine reached the scene the
cars and their contents were almost com
pletely destroyed. Two of them belonged to
the b. & M. and one to the Rock Island.
They were loaded with 40, 900 feet of lumber,
consigned to the Howell Lumber company.
The cause of the fire is not known.
