81 saw" said friend OF mine, "you
had something in about the grangers, O
week or two ago. think it is very fun
ny. You know when that rainy spell
came on, was up in the country staying
on a ranch. We used to get the San
Francisco papers of course every day,
and every one of them was whooping up
the rain. The farmers are now jubiiant.
This God-sent rain means millions Of
dollars to the state, and the granger
gazes over his fields, happy in the pros
pect OF a big harvest and all that sort
OF thing. 1t used to amuse me-"
"Why?"
''Why? There wasn't granger with
in fifty miles, or ranch hand or any
body else who wasn't cursing that blamed
rain"
"The country needed it."
"Yes; but there was to be big dance
in the town and every mothers son and
daughter was going to it, and the rain
came and knocked it endwise. They'd
rather have had the crop ruined than
miss that dance"

citizens have thought that the ordinance
No. 233 was about to be violated. The de-
termination of citizens that this ordinance
shall be strictly enforced is evidenced by
the communications sent TO this Office de-
nouncing the city authorities for permitting
the construction of wooden sidewalk and
the protests made directly to II. q. May,
who occupies the building on that corner.
The latter became so numerous that Mr..
May yesterday put up q large sign reading
thus Don't worry A stone Sidewalk
will be put on this wooden walk. When
spoken to in regard to the matter by
RECORD UNION reporter yesterday morning,
Mr.. May said This sidewalk Is to be
covered by the pavement of the Pacific
Pavement Company, of which Timothy
Hopkins is President. 1t consist OF burnt
pulverized rock and asphaltum, and is
warranted never to crack or break If on
solid foundation. 1t is the same material
as that used by the railroad company at
the depot. 1t is to be put on the regulation
thickness, one ana one-half inches. The
plans were laid before the Street Commits
sioner before operations We're commenced
and met with his approval
This ought to set at rest all complaint as
to this partic ular sidewalk, as an examina-
ton of the work already done shows that
II is undoubtedly the intention to construct
the walk as stated by Mr.. May. But it is
alleged that there have been violations of
the ordinance lately on several streets,
where parties have practically laid new
wooden sidewalks under the pretense that
they were only making slight repairs
The commotion created over this walk at
Fifth and K shows that the people of this
city are determined to have the new ordi-
nance enforced, and that no more wooden
sidewalks shall be built within the limits.

SCHOOLS FOR LITTLE "rors..
Opening of the Marguerite Sociery's Kin
dergarten Yesterday.

Opening of the Marguerite Sociery's Kin
dergarten Yesterday.
There was opened yesterday in this city
the first free kindergarten, and an enterprise
was thereby inaugurated which is to work
for our city reform in primary education
equal to that which is being wrought for
San Francisco under the superb charity of
Mrs. Stanford and other philanthropists.
The labor which the Marguerite Society
established two years ago by Rev. Mr.. Mer-
rill-has expended in laying the founda-
ton for this work can be but partially COM
pretended, save by those who have sought
to agitate the public and gain its ear for
new reforms. This work of agitation and
education during the past two wears has
been most faithfully done by this little So
ciety, and the school now opened is but
the beginning of a large work for the poor
of our city.
The school is at Twenty-third and K
streets where they have q corner lot, forty
feet front and running to the alley, paid for
in full. The large airy building is also
their own, and everything has been slowly
but surely done to make the work perma-
nent one for our city.
Miss Pullman, thorough and highly
educated Kindergarten from Oakland. is
the teacher. The school opens with a
large attendance, and in few days will
have all the pupils that can be cared for
about sixty being all that can be accom-
modated.
ANOTHER ON MONDAY.
The free kindergarten, to be conducted
under the auspices of the Woman's Chris
tan Temperance Union, will be opened at
Perry's Seminary on Monday, the 10Th inst.

More than a score of cases adorned the

the disposition of them occupied two or
three hours. Billy Scotty, John Williams,
Ed Rand, Mike O'Keefe, James Clark, Al
bert Kershaw Barney Hughes, James Emery
and Robert Devere. who were gathered
in by officers Rider and Arlington as vag-
rants, were each sent to the County Jail for
sixty days, and they will doubtless spend
their terms IN the changing.
Captain Dozler, companion of the
above-named gang, YVES too sick to be pres
ent in the Courtroom, and he will be dealt
| with to-day. He says he will plead guilty
to murder or anything else they may want
him to.
James Clark, charged with being vag-
| rant, outranked the other unfortunates, and
| upon promise of going to work he was dis
charged, and the same course was pursued
in the case of Henry Bane.
Mamie Cummings and Ed Norris, ar.
rested on charge of larceny in a down
| town dive. will be tried on Saturday.
Louis Kinspel, charged with a misde-
meanor, had his case set for April 18th.
Sadie Adams was sentenced to paw a fine
of s., or in default serve five days in jail
for being drunk.
That ancient sinner, John Doe, paid 81 so
for being drunk, and was allowed to de-
part.
Bat Roach, street laborer, got into a
quarrel with a street companion, and the
| result was that the latter had him arrested
| and charged with disturbing the peace. He
was found guilty, and will receive sentence
tomorrow
Winnie Brown pleaded guilty to the
charge of vagrancy, and was sentenced to
thirty days Imprisonment. The commit
| ment was withheld, however, and she was
given twenty four hours within which TO
pack her trunks and leave town.
Mary Cummings, pal of Winnie's, was
sentenced to thirty days in the County Jail
for being vagrant.
a. j. McNiece and George Fairfield, two
| more Migrants Matched in the same incu-
| bator, were given time to cross the river,

Sergeant Barwick Asked If He Would
Like a Change of Climate.
Sergeant Barwick has received a letter
from General Greedy, the Chief Signal Off,
Ger, saying that the latter had been on this
station over three years, and wanting To
know if there is any desire on Barwick's
part for a change of station on account of
health, etc and, if SO, asking what station
he would prefer.
The Sergeants answer was that he was
ordered here eight years ago from Aipena.
Mich, on doctors certificate, on account
of the climate being too severe in the
North for him, and that since bis residence
in this city his health has been perfect
and that he has gained fifteen pounds over
his Michigan weight. and that he does not
desire change, if it can be possibly

A Slight Blaze.

About 6 O'Clock last evening the root of
the steamboat company's office, at the foot
of K street, was discovered to be on fire. A
large pile-driver was standing close to the
building, and it was turned round so that
men climbed from it to the roof, and by
the use of buckets soon extinguished the
flames. The damage was small. The fire
is supposed to have been caused by a spark
from a passing locomotive.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing the Mendelssohn Quinte, Club, assisted
by the Mcneil Club, and by Mrs John
Mcneil, the accomplished soprano, who
has volunteered for the occasion, will give
grand instrumental and vocal concert
Such q combination of musical forces is
seldom effected. 1t guarantees an enter
tainment of the most ENJOYABLE character,
and insures an evening of music that will
at once meet exacting tastes and at the
same time respond to the popular demand
The Quintet Club when here few weeks
ago achieved q great musical success, and
created the widely expressed desire for
its return before leaving the coast, that
is now about to be gratiied. To enable this
consummatlon to be effected, the Mcneil
Club entered into the scheme to secure
second concert, and hence it is that we are
tonight to have the double attraction of
the Instrumentation of the Memberships
and in certain numbers their ACCOMPANY
ment to the vocalization OF the home talent.
The programme has already been given in
these columns. 1t is varied. choice and
will compensate all who attend, fully. The
box plan is at Houghton's bookstore,
where seats can be secured in any part of
the house without extra charge. The
gallery has been wisely thrown open TO
reservation of seats, for there are many
connoisseurs who are aware of the fact that
upper seats afford better opportunities for
bearing a concert to advantage IN the
Metropolitan than an the lower sec
tons.
AT the Congregational Church, this even
ing the well-known California lect-
urer, ]. NJ. HutchiDgs, will give
one of his unique entertainments.
1t will consist of an exhibition of
very choice views of remarkable California
scenery, largely in and about the Hetchy
Hetchy, and the Big Trees and Yosemite
valley, in which Mr. Hutchings was
pioneer, and of which he was for many
years the official guardian. His pictures
are mainly of his own procurement by
photography in remote mountain nights
He uses in his entertainments a powerful
double stereopticon, that throws up views
twenty feet square. He uses light 800
times as strong as the electric light Mr..
Hutchings accompanies the views with de-
scripuye instructive remarks that add to
the value of the entertainment and the
knowledge of the auditors. His recent
engagement in San Francisco with these
views extended over three weeks to crowded
houses, and received the praise of all the
press and the educators in the city, There
will be matinee Saturday afternoon and
final entertainment Saturday night. Spe-
cial prices are named for children and
school pupils.

fulfillment, remain, very truly.
