THE ELECTION LAWS.
A Valuable Compendium Issued by III
ReeIstrar of Noters.

A Valuable Compendium Issued by the
Registrar of Voters.
A neat volume containing all the election
laws has been issued by Registrar Thomas
j. L. Smiley under direction of the Board
OF Election Commissioners. This is the
first really complete code Of election stat
utes ever Issued in this city.
1t is in pamphlet form, numbering rs
pages, and contains extracts from the Fed
eral enactments, the Constitution of this
State, the Registration Act and from the
Political and Penal Codes relative to the
elective franchise. registration of voters
and election laws. The first sixteen pages
are devoted to an explanation of the Story
system of voting which was adopted by the
last Legislature.
An elaborate tally-list explanation of this
method OF counting ballots Is bound into
this part of the book. 1t was originated by
Louis n. Jacobs, Chief Deputy Registrar,
who has made careful study of the syS-
tenn. he instructed the officers at the re-
cent city election In Stockton, where the
Story plan was first tested, and through his
efforts every phase of the counting there
was made success. In the table which he
has prepared appears every possible con-
tlngency that will arise under the Story
law, and 1t will prove indispensable in the
next campaign in the settlement of vexed

The next pages, Is to 81 are devoted to
the Registration Act. and following it two
full pages are bestowed upon the Constitu-
ton, four to the Political Code and general
laws OF the State, seventeen to the United
States naturalization and electoral laws,
five to the Penal Code relative to crimes
against the franchise. four to the duties of
the United States Supervisors. The Con-
gressional and Senatorial districts are de-
fined on pages 81 and 6S. and the rest of the
book treats of the boundaries of the twenty
Assembly Districts. The number of every
article and section quoted is given, and
every title has an appropriate subhead.
There is also comprehensive index In
the first part of the book, conveniently ar
ranged for reference. Altogether, the
volume Is valuable compendium on po-
litical law, and will doubtless he in great
demand. The first copies have just been
struck off, but the Registrar will not be

lightful entertainment last evening in the
church parlors. Contrary to the general
rule, no admission is charged to these en-
tertainm ents, and strangers are made en-
tirely at home. The selection by Miss Lille
Kroft was especially well rendered and
loudly applauded. For an encore she sang

During an intermissi0n of twenty minutes
refreshments were served in the dining
room, and to those that could not be ac-
commodated here, in the parl0r. There
after the company again assembled in the
parlors to listen to the second part of the
programme, which consisted of a musical
dialogue and farce, the latter by four young

the extreme, concluded the entertainment.

CHINESE GAMBLERS.

They Are Seeking Now to Saddle Their
Cases the Federal Courts.
The Chinese gamblers are in desperate
straits. The Police Judges have been fin
ing them so heavily that it has become a
costly luxury $500 or SOY to be caught in a
elottery-den, and many poor pagans languish
in prison cells because of their inability to
pay the penalty of their rashness.
The Chinese mind, however, Is prolific in
schemes for the breaking down or overrid-
ing of such little things as American laws
and customs, and aided by the counsel of a
few attorneys who depend upon the
Chinese and criminal classes for a
a new one for evading the gambling ordi-
nanees. If it succeeds it will not only de-
stFoy she power Of the police in the Chi
nese quarter and open the doors for Chinese
criminals to escape, but will crowd the
United States Courts with petty criminal
The plan was fathereda by Attorney
Alfred Clarke and the first steps toward its
.consummation have already been taken.
Mr., Clarke claims that the Chi
subjects of the Emperor Of China
and as such are entitled TO trial before a
federal tribunal. He also claims as a
reason for not trying them in the munich
pal courts that suchoa strong prejudice ex-
lists against them that they are unable to
