mas tree at 211 Ninth street yesterday
morning. Mrs. Sumner johnson, princi-
pal OF two of the above gardens. assisted
by Miss Frances Sargent. principal of the

The children sang prettily and drilled
with spirit and energy. Much amusement
was caused by Ibe enthusiastic manner in
which the youthful performers eneored
themselves.
When any of their singing and acting
caused the spectators to applaud, all the
tiny hands in the room at once commenced
clapping. "DeaI little thiDesl How lnno-

given the choice between dolls and trum-
pets All the girls declared their partiality

gazing longingly at the glittertng instru-
menis uppu which their friends were toot-
ing held out their hands blushingly toward
the dolls, as though they were ra her
ashamed of effeminate taste, but were de-
tPrmined to crafty 1t ih spite of criticism.
The dolls were accordingly given them.
and when last seen they were carrying the
gay treasures home with evident pride.
The children of these gardens had po-
litely reciprocated the gifts of toys and
candy. They had prepared presents for
the ladies of the board which were really
worth having. SorIe Of them were pretty
little horses made out of folded paper ;
others were stars and triangles which in
genious little fingers had evolved Into card
or ring racks. There was an exhibition

been loafing IN Chinatown tor two months,
whereas ihe facts were, he said, that he had
been working on the farm OF Mr.. BOnney at
Winters during that time. MI. Bonney cor

OF the twenty-five 10 which the old campai ner

nothing, or said he knew no hing about them.
Judge Low at length became weary OF the old

bot they had not committed perjury. The
police say that Calhoun has been arrested sixty

About sixty children marched into the
Two Friends classroom singing My Coun-
try" yesterday afternoon at o'clock. each
little singer carrying tiny star-spangled
banner.
"The only reason we do not let them
sing The Star-spangled Banner said one
of the ladies of the board enthusiastically,
sis that the song has TOO wide a compass
for baby voices and might strain them."
After the flag drill the children went
through number of clever exercises, in
cluding sort of anvil chorus, which was
very effective. The principal. Miss Jean
Harwood, assisted by Miss Mary L.
Thomas and Miss Maysie 6. Smith, then
disiri buted the presents, which included
nuts. oranges and apples. in addition to
TOYS and candy.
Some pretty gifts had also been pre-

THE REGISTER UNRELIABLE

The Election Commission held little
session yesterday morning. and in quiet
way cut its first slice out of the S25. 600 ap-
propriated to run the charter election.
Ever since George Lewis was let out of
the Registrars Office to give place to Chief
Deputy Marshall. who lost his job In the
Mint. there has been an effort to create
more places in the Registrars Office. At
first the commission sat down on the idea,
but Registrar Evans in the meanwhile had
been working hard to make the COmmis-
sioners believe that he was being over
worked and was growing thin with the
pressure of business. He succeeded 10
fmpressng three of the Commissioners
with this belief. but Mayor Ellert and
Auditor Broderick failed to fall into line
on the proposition.
When the commission met Surveyor
Fitzhugh offered the following:
Resolved, That the Registrar be and he is
hereby authorized to employ such clerical force
as may be necessary in precincting the several
Assembly districts, and In the preparation OF
precinct registers and such other work as may
salary not 10 exceed S100 month.
This brought the subject of extra clerks
fully before the commission. Auditor
Broderick, who was in the Registrars
Office as chief clerk for many years and is
thoroughly familiar with all the details of
the Office, at once distinguished himself by
making vigorous assault on the resolu-
lion. de said he was opposed to extra
clerks and desired to husband the small
fund at the disposal OF the commission in
order to expend it for the purposes for
which ii was appropriated. Auditor Broo-
erick maintained that there was no neces-
sity of total reproducing of the city at
the present time. He said that he had
taken the trouble to make a personal ex-
animation of the subject based on long
experience and found the following to be

it comes time to open up these
questions, dear Judge, we will be at

this case in hand and we will finnish
it up before we leave it. Sorry that
we can't crafty your wish TO lead off
this subject, but we have a weakness,
Judge, for sticking to anything until
it is finished, Mr.. Welch may have
something more to say. We will see
you later about the other matters.

led about my being pledged TO a

writer supplies. Other members of
the board contrib this. Neither has
he ever solicited them personally in
any way concerning his bills. So
much for mis- ever Inducing" the
board to allow his bills. Again, a
law passed in 1891 made the county
commissioners the only power author
lied to issue warrants on the county
treasurer, repealed "all acts or parts
Of acts in conflict Herewith" thus
taking away from the Judge all the
authority he had in that matter.
Before the passage of this act the
county clerk issued warrants for the
stenOgrapher on the certificate of the
Judge. After its passage he declined
to issue the warrants, but referred
the bills to the board, for doing which
he called down upon himself the
wrath of the Judge who chided him
for considering himself a better Judge
of law than himself. And we have
the Judges statement elsewhere that
Welch "tOok his accounts before the
commissioners for approval" Incon-
sistency, indeed thou art jewel.
The sum and substance Of the
matter is that Judge Ray discharged
his stenOgrapher because he PRO
crossed" into the Peoples party, and
now that he acted so rashly under the
impulse of the moment, singing as
he was under the defeat of his party,
he would like to explain it away if
possible; and we must say that his
effort to charge the young man with
taking illegal fees, as an excuse, is
only adding insult to injury, and is as
contemplate as it is an ignominiOus
failure. As we have said before he
had a perfect right to discharge Mr..
WEIGH, and to get some one in
political harmony with him If he
chose, and it was to be expected that
he would, but the circumstances
attending this case make it an
aggravated one, and one calculated
to drive POpulist support to anyone
else but Ray. The Judge pretends
that he was in ignorance as to how
Mr.. WEIGH voted, and so were
we. But the Judge had a.
pretty good idea how he voted as is
evidenced by the second letter he
wrote him. He gives the whole cases
away there and exposes his own
affected innocence. What matters it
to the public if he did tell the
superintendent Of the Santa Fe
railroad that he might advance his
man to the position in his court? 1t
is natural for Republican Office hold
ers to truckle to the Santa Fe and to
appeal to them for vindication in
time Of need.
We recognize the Judges effort to
broaden out this controversy and lead
of into other subjects, and we don't
blame him for wanting to survey the
