MOULDER SCHOOL TALENT.
The Children Give a First-CIass
Entertainment.

The children held high carnival yester-
day afternoon at the Moulder school,
corner of Page and Cough streets. They
were giving a closing exhibition to their
friends. The performance was remarka-
bly, good.
Though some of the actors had not
reached the mature age of seven, they ex-
hibited a stage presence and grace OF
manner that a professional might have
envied.
A dozen little boys dressed as boot
blacks polished off as many shoes and
sang song with an energy that won them
a hearty round OF applause.
Lillian Rhode, little golden-h aired
fairy in light skirts, danced the Highland
fling. She was perfectly at home before
the mass of upturned faces and smiled
back at them as only child who knows
she is doing thing we'll can.
Bennie Smith was another who merited
the hearty applause that he earned. His
violin solo from the opera of Norma" was
really remarkable when the little fellows
youth is considered.
The skirt dance was given by Lola
OBrien. She is not only very pretty
girl. but dances with grace that one
seldom finds off the stage.
Twelve little girls in striking fisher
mans costume sang fishing song to one
OF the choruses of the 'Bells of Corne.
vile" 1t was very effective and graceful
The bays of Miss Dunn's class were
especially good In a patriotic chorus. They
sang of their country as if they were
proud of it, and the noise they created in
the audience showed that their efforts Ia
entertain were fully appreciated.
The schoOlrooms were nicely decorated
with flowers, flags, pictures aud pretty
faces. Near the stage was big .'Rol Of

CHRIS HAS A BAD TIME.
DR.. Ryer's Brother Gives Testimony
Preiudiciaf to His Cause.

The wigless attorneys representing the
proponents of the will of the late Dr.
Washington NJ. Ryer called up Frederick
Ryer yesterday. The witness is brother
of the testator. and testified to having re-
ceived DR.. Ryer and family at his residence
in Hoboken, n. j.
DR.. Ryer, according to the testimony of
the witness, exchanged many condolences
with him during his stay in New Jersey
In conversation the name of Donna
Dolores, the Mexican woman who is al
legged 20 be the mother of Chris Ryer by
the Stockton physician, often came up.
Witness said that DR.. Ryer repeatedly
spoke of her as a common woman, sayin 9
that she had had three or four children
born out of wedlock.
Did The doctor ever speak to you of
Chris Ryer-that is to say. OF any son of
this woman Donna Dolores who was called
after him?"
Yes. He said that he understood that
the woman had named one of her children
after him, but he denied the parentage.
In fact, he said there was nothing in the
Stockton affair, although much had been
made Of it by gossips."
Witness further stated that DR.. Kyer
had told him that he had enemies as we'll
as friends in Stockton, and that his enc
mics had brought forward this woman aud
child f or the purpose of troubling him.
After this testimony had been given a
man in his shirtsl-eves W seen stagger-
ing into court under pile OF hooks. These
were laid down and discovered to be GER
tain records of Stanislaus County. from
which the proponents of the will desired
to show that Chris Ryer had registered
therein in 1878. and had not acknowledged
DR.. Rver as his father.
F. c. Branch, ex-Registrar of Stanislaus
County, was called in support of this EVIL
dence. but his appearance was the signal
for row between attorneys. Tie usual
war was waged for the usual few minutes,
aud finally the Judge dsallowed the wit
ness testimony, on tie ground that the
register Of tile county would be plain
enough evide ce for all.

M MINNESOTA LEGISLATURE.
1hs Senate.


ST. PAUL. Jan. 2J.-Yest 'rday was a tax
alton field day in the senate. Two import
ant resolutions bearing on the subject were
introduced and long discussion, the first
)f the session, was held over Senator
Lcavitt's income tax bill. The first reso-
tuition was introduced by Senator Gran
iall, as follows:
Whereas, the state treasurer, in his re-
port to the legislature, under date of
August |. 1892, in statement b, under the
lcad of receipts into the treasury from
abroad companies" +" sets forth that cer-
ain railroads of this state pay annually
nto the treasury of the state per cent
Of their gross earnings, other companies
per cent of tn air gross earnings. and
,tlll others 3 per cent of their gross earn
ngs.
Resolved, That the state treasurer is
aereby requested to inform the legislature
why different companies pay different
cates. as above set forth in lieu Of taxa
ion, and whether any legislation could
aqualiZe this tax so as to bear equally
Ipon all companies.
The other resolution was introduced by
senator Stevens, and is in line with the
constitutional amendment voted on last
fall, anil which was defeated because Of
the introduction of the railroad" into the
act by amendment II reads.
Whereas, The supreme court of the
United States in the case of the common
wealth of Pennsylvania against the Pull
man Palace Car company, reported In
l4l, United States Reports, page Is, has
decided that the property of sleep.
ing car companies Is subject to taxa.
ton by the several states in which its
ears are operated, without regard ~
whether the same constitutes state or in.
terstate commerce. Resolved, by the sen.
ete, the house concurring, that the con.
nittee on judiciary Of the senate and
house be and they are hereby instructed,
10. their earliest convenience, jointly Ia
examine and report whether any consti-
tutional or legal obstacle exists to placing
such property on the tax roll for the en-.
4 uing year and if, in their opinion, any
legislation Is necessary to report a proper
bill for that purpose.
