ABOUT OUR TABLES.

Ds0s 1atersstiag ssggcstions frs0 ths
Pen Of Helen AsAsrv0a.
The New York Decorator and Furnisber,
In IN excellent article by Helen Andesson,
hes the following 10 ay About Our To
bles:~
Once upon time We wsre w0 conteut
with one stifY and shiny tAble in the center Of
our best room, q table that made not the
slightex pretenss TO drapery, not even .
scarf. But today such table In our modern
houses would look like desolate island In
the SEA, for almost every house abounds In
little tables scattered In every possible nook
and corner. Many Of these are very dainty
and artistic, great many copied from on
tables, and still great many more purely
American In make and design; and therc are
any amount Of them mnde 30 heavily gor-
geous, 10 overloaded with ornamentation
that one feels under great obligations to the
maker for giving entirely too much for the
money.
Before furniture was turned out Of factories
by thousands and tens Of thousands, the work
being made by hand was, OF course, more ex-
pensve, much more careful In form and exc
cution, and IL was utterly impossible to In
dulge In the cheap and gaudy style OF decora-
ton which Is tho mistake Of the modern
makers.
Many people fail to realize or are indifYer-
ent TO the fact that table costing thirty
dollars cannot be duplicated for three. Al
though ambitious dealers In cheap furniture
will make and advertise the attempt, the re-
suit Is seldom satisfactory. In fact, after all
the dainty form and finish has been lost, poor
materials substituted, the imitation Is 30 poor
that II hardly justifes the term imitation at
ALL It Is 50 hard for the majority to realize
that one can more than get their moneys
worth, and az the demand is for this style Of
work, It becomes quite a difficult matter to
find simple aud good article that will not
put its owner 10 shame by it's unmistakable
air Of trying TO be fine OF course there is no
trouble in finding good articles In first class
concerns, but unhappily it is just the plain

In addition to the beautiful silver cups
which will be given 10 the first three men in
each event, "a handsome silk banner will be
presented to the club scoring the greatest
number of points. The points will be- scored
as follows: First man in each event will count
five points for the organization he represents,
the second man will score three and the third
man one. This makes the club rivalry very
intense, and the many large athletic organ
izations In this country are gathering to-
gether their best men with the hopes Of cap
turing the banner, which will make hand
some club house interior adornment All Of
the events are handicap, which renders the
picking OF the winners most uncertain. II
would be idle To say what organization viii

greatly in favor Of tho New York and Man

New York, Feb. 8.--1 was told today,
on high authority, that in less than SIX
months large hoops would be "in," and
that instead Of the present elegant SIM
plicity in the making Of dresses, the more
trimming you can pile on them the moro
fashionable they will be. II was also pre-
dicted that aounces, puffs and festcons
would be on all the skirts, and that 1t was
going to require twenty seven yards Of
material 10 make gown. don't believe
1t, and don't want 10 believe it for sew
cral reasons; the first being that it's quite
hard enough now to get dress when Il
only needs twelve yards or 30, and the
second being that hoop costumes are hor.

beauty.

style of work that is beyond the means Of many
who would appreciate it. So that although
one may be able to find charming, pctur-
esque little tea tables for thirty, twenty five
or even sixteen dollars, it is quite another
matter when one starts out to find one for
five or six dollars.
A beautiful little tea table i'm the style of
Louis XIV, of which the sketch on this page
gives very good idea, has the top in onyx
and the rest of the table in gilt. This would
necessarily be very expensive, and only APP
prcciated for "A certain style Of room, but the
same design might be used in mahogany or
cherry, or any other kind OF wood that
might he preferred. The use Of such little
tables, when the style is really good, is in
valuable in helping out the decoration Of
room; they break the monotony of an other
wise stiff looking room and form centers
around which people naturally group them
selves A pretty leaf or bit of drapery is of
course an Improvement to almost every
table Some very handsome tables or stands
are made by the Japanese of teakwood with
marble tops In design they are straight and
square, the legs beautifully carved; the only
objection is they are very heavy looking and
SO distinctly japanese that they would be
out of place in a room that did not IN some
way suggest the Japanese style in decoration.
Some of these tables sell as low as sc, and,
considering their workmanship, seem very
cheap.
A very inexpensive little table might be
made for n library or sitting room of almost
any wood one might fancy, and 1t might al-
most serve for a bookcase, as it has ample room
for books or papers. In construction it is some
thing like very high office stool, except that

shelves are not only very odd and pretty, but
are also very useful, with "a few bits Of pretty
china on the top and the rest of the shelves
used for books and papers; this makes a nice
little tea table for library or general sitting
room, and almost any carpenter could make
one.
Many fancifui ideas are carried out in the
way of tables now-some heart shaped, some
called kidney shaped and others where both
the heart and kidney shapes are combined,
the one for the upper, the other for the lower
shelf. They could hardly be called tea tables,
but, as they are small, they make nice rest
ing place for brio a brac and are very appro-
pirate for small rooms.
In the dining room of u prominent New
York artist is dining table that might be
used with good effect in many houses, and
the expense of making such table could, il
one were handy, be said to be literally moth
ing, and the result, il only half as good as
the original, would still be II very unique
and artistic thing in the way Of tables.
In the first place pair of ordinary wooden
horses had been taken, painted white, then
rubbed down to fine enameled surface;
upon these horses was placed large piece Of
square wood, very much like an enlarged
drawing board, which had been previously
treated III tne same nhnheT rs tile horses.
This board was then fastened TO the horses
by means of large brass headed nails. or
course the only part Of this table which
would be at all difficult to make would be the
enameling, as it generally takes from five to
six coats of paint before it is rubbed down
with pumicestone and oil. II might be made
on the same plan, stained black and then fin
ished with the brass headed nails This would
he very much cosier to construct and would
not require even the aid OF carpenter.

LEARNING TO COUNT.

The Board of Supervisors has called all
the Election Clerks to meet at the Court
house this evening to witness an ex-
emplification of the new method of count
ing and announcing votes on election day.
1t is wise action, but it is to be regretted
chat the Board in adopting the suggestion
OF the RECORD UNION, which some time
ago urged this step, should have excluded
the Inspectors and Judges of Election-at
least the call published is not addressed to
them. The Clerks do not count the bal
lots, but they tally the votes. 1t is there
fore essential that the Judges and Inspec-
tors should also thoroughly study the new
system in advance of election day.
1t is to be hoped that all of the election
officers, Inspectors and Judges as well as
Clerks, will attend this evening and OBJ
serve the exemplifcation that is promised.
If they have not been notified to attend,
still they viii be welcome. If they have
been notified they certainly should attend.
They will profit by attendance and will
lessen their labors greatly by acquiring
abe knowledge essential to an understand
Eng of the Story law.

Coming Ball Games.

There will be ball games here to-day, to-
morrow and Sunday. This afternoon, and
also on Saturday, the Sacramentos and
Stocktons will play two games on each day
so as to play of two postponed games
one scheduled for March 10Th and another
for April 9th.
The first game will begin at 100 o'clock
this afternoon. and Immediately after it is
finished new batteries will be put in and a
second contest will commence. Harper
and KilToy will be the opposing pitchers in
the first game, and Borchers and Fudger
in the second.
On Saturday Perrott and Hoffman will
twirl for the first nine innings, and Fudger
and Borchers the second game.
But one price of admission will be
charged to see both games on each day.
On Sunday the 0aklands and Stocktons
will play bail here, having transferred the
game from Stockton TO this city. 1t will
be the first opportunity Sacramento
audience hiss had of witnessing game be-
tseen two outside clubs.

LET voters think twice before they give
ear to the pleadings of the so.called "In-
dependents" They will fill the ears of the
electors with congratulations about reform;
but let voters reflect upon this undisputed
truth-no political reform was ever accom-
plished by or through the selection of a
composite ticket. To reform abuses there
must be, first education of the public con-
science; next, specifications of the evil;
khird, direction in applying a remedy To
simply put forward ticket chosen in the
main from the tickets of the two parties
charged with wrong, as means to reform,
As stupidity, farcial performance.

THERE IS MUCH TO LEARN.
Necessity for Election Oficers Studying
In the New Election LAW

Necessity for Election Officers Studying
Up the New Election law.
The NEW lection law, which must be
followed 10 this county next Tuesday, re-
quires that the canvass be by new and
entirely different method from any before
used here. In San Francisco all election
officers are required to meet and lesrn the
practical workings of the law before serv-
iug. There may be very close vote for
some candidates in this county, and it is
very important that the canvass be prop
erly conducted sud accurate returns made
The Board of Supervisors have en-
ployed a competent person to exemplify
The law here, and a meeting of election
officers is called for tonight at the Court
house. Every election officer who does not
fully understand the new methods should
be present.
No person appointed to serve on election
iav should assume that he will be able,
without study, to fathom the mysteries of
the new law. In one sense its workings
are plain to persons of fair intelligence,

SAN FRANCISCO, October 30th-Finn's
aggregation went through the motions of
playing ball before a fair audience at
Haight street to-day, but their batting was
so weak that the Colonies, with Carsey's
good work in the box, captured the honors
easily. The honors of the game are due
to the pitching of Kid Carsey, the phe-
nomenal twirler of the Oakland team. He
also batted out a home-run hit, one of the
five hits secured off of Lookabaugh, who
put up a good game for the home team.
Ward and Lehman were the backstops, and
did excellent work. Both clubs had errors
in plenty. Score:

SENATORIAL BALL-SLOGGERS.
THE HOME TEAM GETS IN AND DOES
SOME BATTING.
Stockton Wasn't In It from Start to
Finish Perrott's Curves Offer
No Obstacle.

The Stocktons made show of them
selves yesterday when they endeayered to
stand before the Sacramentos, and good
sized Thursday audience saw the Banner
Island team downed by a score OF 10 TO 2.
1t was thought that Perrott would put a
limit to the Sacramentos' hitting, but the
contrary proved to be the case. Fifteen
sound hits, including four three bsggers
and two doubles were pounded out during
the nine innings by the Senators, and
these, with seven big errors falling in
handily, caused nineteen runs to be scored
by them.
The batting Of the team all through the
contest was terrific and commenced in the
first inning, when five runs were scored.
One more was added in the second, two in
the third, quartet in the fifth, half dozen
in the sixth and one in the eighth, Just to
make the score odd.
Two runs was as near as the visitors
could get 10 their opponents score, and
these were made in the fourth aud seventh
innings, one of them through Days error
at second.
Every member of the visiting team, ex-
cepting Selma and Wilson, made errors, and
costly ones at that. The only difficult play
on their side was catch by Fudger in the
third inning.
With the exception of Days work at
second base, the fielding of the Senators
was perfect. Hoffman pitched winning
ball. and was ably supported By Bow
man. Stapleton played at first without an
error and made difficult running catch
of foul ball. Daily at second did not
guard his position as he should have done.
Reitz played remarkable game at short,
accepting eight chances. and throwing like
shot to first base. Cedar stopped three
hot grounders at the third corner, and
threw well to the initial. Roberts, Good
enough and McHale gathered in a number
of flies in the outfiel6.
Pete Meegan umpired. and his decisions,
both on balls and strikes ard bases, were
correct in every instance. Following is the
score:
