Voting and Counting.

Eds. "Record-Union'': There ap-
peared paragraph in your issue OF
Wednesday under the above heading,
which appears to be taken from the
San Jose Mercury 1t ran as fol-
lows: 1T is generally conceded that
the Australian ballot system as ADOPT
ed In this State is a vast improve
ment over the old method. 1t insures
secrecy and it throws a long needed
safeguard around the franchise. But
that 1t is not perfect was demonstrated
at the recent election This will read
more ways than one and would lead
some people to believe that the Aus
tralian system is wrong. If the San
Jose Mercury thinks they have the
Australian ballot system it is totally
wrong for they are as far from the Aus
tralian system as they are from Aus
tralia itself. / have seen an election
and a little bit of a thing. 1t was to
fill the place Of a County Council,
as you would call him a Supersome-
thing, who died Two men run for it
and the election was held not 100 miles
from the Capital of Ell Dorado County.
I expressed surprise at the way the
election was carried on, and my friend
told me that I had right to know
more about it as it was carried on on
the Australian system. This caused
me more surprise still and I said that
is not the Australian SYSTEM My
friend says: "Yes, that is the Australian
ballot box" We'll, must admit there
was box there but no system, for
what it took eight of you to do We do
it with two, and in most cases with only
one man. Just the returning officer
alone and for his days pay he receives
ten shillings or in your money S2.5O
That is all it cost under the Australian
system to run such a polling booth as
this; just $3.50" 1 could write over
an acre on this subject but this is all
/ will trouble you with for the pres
ent, but 1 protest against you calling
the system Of voting in this country
Australian, for there is not a bit of
Australian about it, but the box. And
I think it is 1 clothes chest you should
have to hold all the paper you stuff into

BASKET BALL GAME.
Something That the Men Would
Like Very Much to See.

On tomorrow afternoon commenc-
| ing promptly at 2:30 o'clock an exhi-
bition game of basketball will be
played in the west wing of the New Pa
vilion. 1t will be an invitation affair,
and though several hundred have been
issued, they have been sent to ladies
exclusively. No gentlemen (the referee
excepted) will be entitled to admis-
sion, the young ladies of the team pre-
ferring to give their first exhibition
game in the presence of their female
friends and acquaintances.
The members of the teams are the
Misses Beaumont, Schaw, Heitman,
york, Grau, Wallace, Raeliffe, Herzog,
Quinton, Arnold, Kleinsorge. Lyons.
Wright, Bieweiner, Wiseman and
Sheehan, and as each young lady had
the privilege of inviting as many as she
chose, invitations by the hundred were
sent out.
The team members have been practic-
| ing for more than two months and the
fact that they have never allowed spec
tators has made the desire to see the
coming exhibition game the greater.
Basket ball is comparatively an un-
known game to Sacramentans, and yet
nearly every seminary on the coast
boasts of having a champion team at
this vigorous sport. 1t requires quick
ness, agility and GOODNESS on the part of
the players and is just as exciting as
| football
In Saturdays game there will be
seven players on each side. A net
basket placed ten feet above the ground
on posts at each end Of the field of play
| is the goal. One team is endeavoring,
| by series of passes of the ball, to get
lit into the basket which their oppon-
ents are guarding, and vice versa.
The contest permits of numerous
pretty plays and tricks and will be GER
| tain to excite unbounded enthusiasm on
the part of the spectators. Running
with the ball is not permissible; neither
| is kicking it allowed, but bouncing,
throwing or tossing it is legitimate
play. Tackling, holding or pushing
players is not allowed. but one player
may slap the ball froml the hands of an
other or pull it away if possible. Again,
player is not allowed to hold the ball
| for longer than five seconds, under pen
atty of having the referee call foul.
| Points are scored as follows: A throw
| into the basket while the teams are in
play tallies two points; free throw in
to the basket from the 15-foot line on
| account of the referee having allowed
foul tallies one point
The game is played in two halves,
each of twenty minutes duration, and
between the halves a rest Of ten min
utes is allowed the players.

wYLLEY's GRIEVANCE.
Two Items That Should Not Have
been So Close Together.

The Bakersfield Echo is likely to
have serious trouble at an early date,
or as soon as Governor Budd and his
staff abandon the Capitol. The Gov
ernor has nothing against the Echo"
or its editor, but John A. Wylley, the
Governors private messenger, is likely
to brandish a tomahawk in Kern Coun-
ty, by reason of a grievance that has
been gnawing at his heart like a worm
in the bud The trouble all occurred
over typographical confusion by the
man who makes up the "Echo's" forms.
BY that mishap the following, which
should have been separated into two
distinct news items, was recently
printed as one item, greatly to the dis
gust Of the Governors messenger.
John A. Wylley, private messenger
of Governor Budd, is in Bakersfield. He
comes in the interest of the fusion
ticket and will interview his colored
brethren to that end. August Sandrez,
Mexican tamale vender, was relieved
of $5 last night The money lay ex-
posed in his cart, and while waiting
for a customer it disappeared. There
are several strangers in town."

HUBERT RETRIEVED.
Governor Budd Wishes to Investi-
gate His Case Further.

In September, 1895, Joseph Hubert
was convicted of wife murder in Cali
veras County, and sentenced to be
hanged October 18th, last. On that
date he was reprieved until December
I'd (to-day) to allow time for the Gov
ernor to examine into the application
for his pardon.
Yesterday the Governor further re-
prieved Hubert until the 18th inst,
giving as a reason for his action that
the arguments presented by Attorney
p. Reddy, who, on November 22d, ap-
peared for the condemned and asked
for a Communication from death to i'm
prisonment for life had not yet been
examined in full and digested, and that
it was his intention to make certain in
dependent Investigations and to read
the evidence in full Unless the Gov
ernor finally interferes, Hubert will be
hanged on the 18th, an unlucky num-
Der.

HIS SERVICES VALUABLE.
CONTEST OF GUARDIANSHIP OF
FRANK DEvIN.
Thomas Boyle Says He Made Him
What He Is and Should Have
His Services.

Judge Hughes department Of the SUI
perior Court was occupied yesterday
with hearing the application OF Tnomas
Boyle, the well known horseman, LOT
appointment as guardian of Frank
Devin, who is is years old and nao
nominated Boyle as his guardian.
The testimony was to the effect that
the boy had been given by an old wo-
man to George o. Bates, father OF Mrs.
w. B. Devin. and given by him to her,
being brought up by her till he was 10
years old. As he would not go TO
school, she wanted some one to take
him and put him to work, and Boyle
took him three years ago. under an
agreement to teach him to ride anu
make jockey of him, If possible, Keep
ing him tin he was 21 and paying MIN
when he had demonstrated his aplllty
TO ride and win in races.
Boyle testified that he had spent con-
siderable money in training the boy,
and had lost a great deal by letting
him ride his horses in races before ne
had acquired knowledge and judgment
to enable him to win. He said he had
clothed him and that Frank had never
asked him for money without getting
ii. He and his wife liked the boy, who
was a good boy. and wished to keep
him. He thought that, after all the
trouble and expense he had undergone
to make jockey of him, he ought, now
that the boy had become useful, to
have his services, in order to get even.
He would take care of the boys win
nings, so that he should have them
when he was of age, and If an adyan-
tageous contract to ride were offered
to him, would advise him to accept it.
The boy himself took the stand and
testified that he loved Mr. and Mrs.
Boyle, who had always treated him
we'll and looked on them as his father
and mother. He did not care for Mr..
Boyle to pay him wages, and would
give him the first call" for his services
as rider and other parties would come
afterward.
Mrs. w. B. Devin testified that she
had brought the boy up as her own,
and let Boyle take him for his own
good, as he would not go to school. She
denied that Boyle had furnished all his
clothes, and said that she had bought
him many articles of clothing and
given him considerable money. She did
not want Boyle to be his guardian, but
wanted some good man appointed who
would take an interest in him. AS for
his money, she could take care of it
and put it in the bank for him, so that
hel could get it when he was of age.
The matter was submitted and will be
argued to-day. Hiram w. Johnson is
attorney for Boyle. and White & Sey-
mour for the contestants.
