hardt. deceased.

OF real estate in the southern part OF
the county and some in El Dorado, all
valued at $74.750 and personal prop
erty, consisting of promissory notes,
bank stock, farming utensils, ETC., ap-
praised at about $160,000, but this is a
low estimate The petitioners are named
in the will as executors of the estate.
The next of kin and heirs at-law of the
deceased are: His brother, John Ehr-
hardt, and his sister, Mary Keema, both
OF Sacramento County; Stephen Ehr-
hardt, half brother, resident of Sails

names and residences are unknown.
The devisees and legatees named in

George E., Frederick, Henry L., Will
lam c., John Amos. Elvesta Isabel,
Newton j., and Louisa Ellen Ehrhardt !;

adamant and he predicted that his ad-
minstration would be honest, capable,
fearless and successful.
City Attorney De Lgne returned
thanks for the sentiments expressed. and
heartily concurred in the compliments
paid 10 Mr.. Brown, whose record, he
said, proved that he had been upright
fearless and able. and the office had
never been filled with greater satisfac-
ton to the people.
Justice Davis said he felt that the re-
firing City Attorney had been no recre-
ant to the trust placed in his hands.
In his position as Judge he had been
in close relation with Mr.. Brown, and
had been able to see the true worth OF
the aggressive honest official and gen.
tleman.
When the great records of, the city
come to be written UP, Justice Davis
said, the part filled by J. Frank Brown
will make a bright page, and will stand
out as a model-one of the best, if not
the best, administration the city has
ever had.
The Justice hoped that the new City
Attorney would leave his office with as
good a record to his credit as that left
by .1r. Brown. He had faith in Mr..
De Ligne, and assured him that in en-
tering upon his duties he had the best
wishes of all the officials of the de-
part1nent.
And then the usual humdrum routine
Of disposing of cases of disturbing the
peace, battery vagrancy, pettys thiey-
cry, ETC., was taken up, and matters
moved on as though one of the prin-
cipal actors in the scene-the City At
torney-had been at his post for years.

DON'T.

Don't attempt to reform the world. 1t
Is large hemisphere and life is short.
Don't talk politics to ladies or dry goods
to gentlemen! Good taste will indorse
neither.
Don't think because you have been sue
eessful in one thing you can succeed in
all Few people succeed even in one
thing.
Don't think yourself physically omnipo-
tent! The weakest persons and the short
est lived are frequently those who feel
the best.
Don't delay when you feel weak, Ian
guid, run down or debilits.ted. Take
something to stimulate your energies at
once.
Don't think that any stimulant will do,
Doctors, scientists and the best authori-
ties agree that pure whisky is the only
reliable stimulant.
Don't be deceived into using an inferior
whiskyi Remember that the most popu-
lar, the purest, the most powerful and
the most valuable whisky is Duffy's Pure
MATT and that it has been so admitted
for years.
Don't let your dealer deceive you or I'M
pose upon you by saying he has "some-
thing just as good" or something he
can recommend He has interested mo-
LiVeS IN such assertions and they should
be distruSted.

NOTHING IN 1T.
There Has Been No Selection Of q
New Race Track Site.

There was a rumor afoat yesterday to
the effect that the State Agricultural
Society had purchased a site for the pro-
posed new race track and fair grounds.
Secretary Smith was asked if there
was any truth in the rumor. and he re-
piled there was not.
Not word of truth in it," said Mr..
Smith. 1.-THE board hasn't yet got a
complete title to the present park prop
erty. There are estates and heirs whose
consent has to be obtained, and the pro-
cess of Strengthening the thing out is
very slow. When that is finally COM
pleted, then the board will have to see
what can be done with the property
and what it will bring. Until all this
is accomplished we will not know what
sum we will have to lay out for new
grounds and improvements. So it would
be folly to talk of buying ground now.
1.-The fact is" concluded Secretary
Smith, there are parties who seem to
be desirous of having it appear that
the board has selected a certain site in
the hope, apparently, Of ofbooming the sale
of property in that particular locality
That's the way it looks. However we
haven't selected site, and there hasn't t
even been a meeting of the board for
months"

A ADJUSTMENTS.

The third bill of the Orpheum was
given last night to very good Monday
audience. Professor Franzs orchestra
appeared, enlarged and bettered; De NJ.
Felix introduced his vaudeville circus,
with his two beautiful ponies, a circus
clown and trained baboon, a very
odd combination and an amusing num-
Der; Pepita Delara is French singing
seubrette, petite, clever, coquettish,
dressy and vivacious and witty; Carlet-
ia, the human lizard, so-called, is a
remarkable contortionist. and as liz
ard opens his number with a pictur-
esque and wholly original scene. We
have had nothing here in the line of
contortion better or more gracefully
given; Doherty's canine circus is an es-
pecial success. There are seven white
poodles wonderfully trained, the largest
weighing no more than twelve and the
smallest but two and a half pounds.
These give a most laughable and very
entertaining exhibition of the circus or
der, and so well that one might conclude
that the animals have something Of
human intelligence. Three other dogs,
however, eclipse them, Flip, the SOM
ersaulting dog, that throws somersaults
backward or forward with remarkable
skill, and Dude and Dimple, the waltz
ing dogs. These two are just a notch
ahead of any exhibition dogs yet shown
here. Jean De Rasseli is a fine bari
tone singer of dramatic quality, while
Paulinetti and Piquo are two Of the
cleverest, grotesque gymnasts imagin-
able Their number is comedy work Of a
good order, as well as fine gymnastic
r; IJt,JI ;e,r, n, in
or descriptive, contralto singer of so
low and full contralto tones as to jus
tify the claim she makes as, female
acknowledgements baritone would be
prefera BILE. She is a robust singer with
powerful voice; but is open to the
criticism that she is too effortful in all
she does There is an intensity about
it that is just over the threshold Of ex-
trava gance Modified, her art will fill
very unique and pleasing musical
number. In her last song. to exhibit
the range of her remarkable voice, she
gives a song with the refrain repeated
thrice, once on a deep contralto, next
in mezZo soprano and lastly in high
soprano. She was three times recalled,
which testifies to the favor with which
she met. The programme closed with
ten pictures by an American biograph
machine. We have had the vitascope,
the animatoscope, and number Of 9TH
er titles given to similar machines
shown here, exhibiting moving pictures,
scenes from life, but nothing at all
comparable to this biograph exhibition.
1t is far and away the best of that or
der Of work. There is less opacity in
the films. greater steadiness in the
lightning-like rapidity with which they
are passed over the spools, and the pic
lures themselves are clearer, more dis
tinct and far better chosen than any
we have seen. The shipwreck scene
was especially fine, and that of passage
through the Haverstraw tunnel, the
camera being upon a locomotive run
ming at fifty miles an hour, is q surprise
and triumph in this new Photographic
art The claim is justified that this is
the most nearly perfect of all the pro-
Microscopes yet brought out. The same

HELD TO ANSWER.
Barnes Will be Tried OF Sent to
an Asylum.

The preliminary examination of
Charles Cor Claude Barnes, the man
who on Saturday night attempted to
brain lower L-street woman named
Ardell with a coupling pin, was con-
Quoted in the Police Court yesterday
morning, and resulted in his being held
to answer before the Superior Court on
a charge of assault with a deadly
weapon. Bail was fixed in the sum of
ST 900.
The evidence did not vary from the
account published in the Record I'm
ion.' Barnes made no defense other
than to say he had no knowledge of
what he had done.
While the officials believe that Barnes
is crazy and therefore not accountable
for his acts, they realize that in order
to have him committed to an asylum
he must be taken before a Superior
Judge

This shows a gain of 704, to which ii
we add the Kindergarten enrolment
261, makes an increase Of 965 in the
last four years.
One gratifying result, that may be
seen by the above comparison, is that
the greatest proportional increase in
attendance has been in the Grammar
and High schools, showing that the pu-
pills are remaining longer in school.
may further state that this increase has
been principally of boys.
Most Of the school buildings and
having been done in the past year to
improve their sanitary condition.
1t is needless for me to say anything
concerning the want of a new High
School building, as this Board of Edu-
cation and the people of the city gener-
ally are fully aware that it is one of
Sacramento's greatest needs. 1t is
hoped and expected that the incoming
Board of Education Will do all IN its
power to have one built during the COM
ing year.
Harmonious cooperation has pre-
vailed throughout the department dur
ing the past year And good year of
school work has been accomplished.
To the members of this board | desire
to extend my sincere thanks for the
kind consideration and respect that l
have, at all times, received, during our
association together. / have made
many suggestions and recommendations
from time to time to this board, and
all have been promptly considered and
acted upon.
I feel that the members of this board
have been true to their trusts. They
have at all times been earnest. honest
and fearless in their work for what
they believed to be to the best interest
of the school department.
