RECORDER OF DEEDS JOHN
son "SMASHES ALL RECORDS.

SoN 'SMAShIS ALL RIICOKDS.'
All records in the office Of the
Recorder Of Deeds were smashed in
the fiscal yea" 1911, according to
statement made by Col. Henry Lin
coin Johnson, the affable and ener-
&etieL Recorder Deeds for the Dis
trict Of Columbia. In the volume Of
business done an increase Of 325
papers is shown in the total record
alton Of the past fiscal year over it's
predecessor, 1910, which had been
the banner year in the history Of the
office. The total number of papers
filed for record between July I,
1910, and June go, 1911, was 90
236.
The total receipts for the year in
the office from all sources were $43,-
1880, an advance of nearly $500
over the receipts of the previous
best year in The Offices history BY
reducing the expenses Of the past
fiscal year by $157.59, the office is
enabled to show a net resource or
12,966.37.
Congress authorized the purchase
of twenty-five new book typewriters
for making records, and this cos,
$S,8S2.50, which was paid out OF
the revenues Of the office, and a bal
ance of $9,082.S7 covered into the
treasury, to be placed to the credit
Of the District Of Columbia.
At one time the Recordership Of
Deeds was a Zee" office, the Re-
,corder collecting the fees from pa
irons, paying all operating expenses
from such collections, and the re-
mainder went to him. 1t is said that
the Office in good years was worth
from $4,000 to $4,000 per annum
Later it was made a salaried office at
$4,000 per annum, and all moneys
over and above the cost Of of operat-
Ing expenses and allowances by
Congress for special obligations,
were paid into the National Treasu-
ry. There are few places in the
Office which call for annual salaries,
but the greater portion of the en-
ployes are paid by the "piece," re-
ceiving one-third of the price charg-
ed for the papers recorded by the
copyist. Each copyist is given all
Of the papers received on a given
day, retiring when the "bundle" is
completed and returning when his
or her day comes again. Some Of
the more rapid writer's earn as much
as 800 per month, and as the limit
IS kept low, each copyist is able to
be almost continuously employed.
Recorder Johnson is making de-
termined effort to secure an advance
for clerks and copyists, and his ad-
hirable showing for the current
year will doubtless encourage Con,
gress to grant his very proper re-

The event of the festival was the

MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

confessed that the orchestra was a
potent influence in gathering the i'm
mense audience, but it is true that the
stellar attraction was the madame, one
of the best loved divas in the world to-
day, with her pianist, Mrs. Katherine
Hoffman of st. Paul who is world-re-
nowned and stands among the very
highest opponents of her difficult art.
The great singer was in splendid
voice and she went through her pro-
gramme with such ease of manner and
so comfortably that one felt that she
was singing to a party of friends in
parlor. No changes whatever were
made in the programme which is
printed here in full, and it speaks for
itself.
At the conclusion Of the beautifully
rendered number, Mainacht, by
Brahms, there was a little incident
which plunged the audience in tre-
mendous applause. Schumann-H eink
had been recalled two or three times
and the applause continued, and when
she appeared again, she saw poised in
front Of the stage, the little daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. Weible clutching a big
bunch Of American Beauties. The
scene OF the great diva picking up the
little one, who was Rugged and kissed
in profusion, can better be imagined
than described--it was a perfect and
natural outpouring of that motherly
wholesomeness which so endears the
great singer to every audience.

bitterness of the state dairy and food
department is making a roundup Of

special reference to the adulteration
OF meats, particularly hamburger
steak. Two months ago the depart
ment gave notice to the butchers to
cease using sulphite as an ingredient
Of hamburger, and then the deputy
made the rounds to see IL the order
was being obeyed. The steak was
analysed and many OF the samples
were found to contain sulphite, which
gives the meat a more inviting APP
pearance. S. II. Morgan was arrested
in this city and fined $15 on pleading
guilty At Sioux Falls six arrests
were made, also several at Aberdeen.
