Loncoln School children decorated
the statue of Honest Old Abe that
stands in front of the edifice on Fifth

lean flags and helped place old glory
at the top of the Flagstaff of the build
ing. The young ones had done this
before when they were not SO old by
a year, but to honor Lincoln is a
pleasure that never dies with the
scholars of the school that bears the
name of the emancipation of the slaves.

ercises. Among these was comrade

STOCKTON, Feb. 1o.-The Stockton

Public Schools Entertain Veterans and
Grand ARMY Commentaries
the Martyrs Birthday.

The memory of Abraham Lincoln
was honored by the school children
of this city yesterday afternoon and
nearly all of the public schools were
visited by members of the Grand
with a custom that has been observed
here for many years. All of the
schools had arranged for special exer-
cises and in some the programmes
were particularly we'll selected.
One thing must be said that reflects
great credit on the local public school
system; the children showed that their
careful training had instilled in them
spirit of Americanism that will be
inseparable from them through their
lives and will be handed down for
generations to come. They were en-
thusiastic in their endeavors to vie
with one another in paying tribute to
the man who did as much for the per-
petuation of the great United States
as even the immortal Washington.
The special numbers for programme
introduced by the respective schools
patriotic training and earnest and eff
fective work on the part of the
scholars.
Nearly every school demonstrated a
marked degree of advancement in
musical culture. The exercises in
cluded many patriotic songs.
By courtesy of Comrade w. w.
Stone of Lincoln Post, G. A. r., the
School Department was enabled to get
the moral and practical assistance of
the Rev. w. H. RAIDER, Supervisor
d'Ancona and Congressman julius
Kahn in preparing programmes.
The exercises commenced at 1870
o'clock in nearly all of the schools
and lasted about an hour and half.
Routine studies were abandoned for
the occasion.

OF the Lincoln Post, G. A. r. The
speakers were Comrades Albert Han
cock, S. w. Carpenter, P. H. Mass and
Martin Gobertz.
The exercises prepared by the pu-
pills were patriotic, and consisted of
beautiful national songs and read
ings and recitations, among which
were tributes by Walt Whitman and
William Cullen Bryant. Lincoln's
Gettysburg Address" was recited and
brief biography of the great Presi-
dent was read.
The rooms were adorned with the
Stars and Stripes.

to summon the police by blowing a
whistle.
"A sensible man." said the Judge,

meath the window to exhaust ITSELF
After declaring herself a teetotaler
Mrs. Johnson informed the court that
she was married to a square head"
and in response to his Honor's request
for a translation of the noun she said
her spouse was a Swede. AS there
was no evidence to show that she had
been damaged by Mr.. Davis pistol
practice the case was dismissed.
Robert Powell, stalwart negro. at
tired in military tunic and trousers,
was charged with disturbing the peace
by Alfred Riddle, also colored and
Mrs. Morris, comely young negress,
appeared as the woman in the case.
The alleged peace disturbance con-
sisted of Mr.. Riddles forcible election
from the residence of Mr.. Powell, at
1880 Greenwich street, in retaliation
of Mr.. Riddles intrusion and demand
that Mrs. Morris depart from the
house.
Mr.. Powell, exhibiting to Judge
Cabaniss a large medal bearing life
like portrait of Mrs. Morris, declared
that his relationship with that lady
was purely platonic. She was the widow
of an army comrade whose dying be-
hest was that Mr.. Powell would pro-
tect her. and in his capacity Of pro-
tector he was entertaining her at his
home when Mr.. Riddle "butted in" and
provoked expulsion by his vulgar In
situations. Mr.. Powell served as a SOL
der thirty years and was in receipt Of
a pension from a grateful country. The
pension more than suff1ced to keep the
wolf from his door.
DE husban' OBJ. de lady," he said,
'wuz NAH fren' IN de ahmy, en- wen
wifi his dyin' bref- he ast me ter TEX
keer oh de widder jes cudden refuse
Mr.. Riddle declared that his sense of
social propriety was shocked by the
fact Of Mrs. Morris being .'favahed" by
Mr.. Powell, and it was with desire to
save the lady's name from scandal that
he requested her to abide elsewhere
than in the Powell domicile.
The testimony is under judicial con-
sideration.
Among the eccentricities charged
against Miss Jessie Bell, young per-
son with a mass of old-gold hair, was
that OF dancing upon a table in a Tay-
lor-street rotisserie, thereby conveying
entertainment TO some and horror to
other beholders. She told Judge Mogan
that she recently left a happy home at
Penryn, Placer County, and liked Rem
derloin life so well that she had no de-
sire to return to the pines Her SEN
tence for vagrancy will be pronounced
to-day.

days and was always in the best of

Just before his death Wood said that
he had not taken bath for the last
twenty years. He said that although
this practice of not taking a bath was
strictly against the rules of health he
had found it a very good plan to follow
and believed that his general good
health and long life were due to this
practice. Wood also stated that he had
not even washed his face or hands for

therefore knew bathing was not neces-
