Contend That Desks and Other Sup- plies Have Been Distributed and Used. Another claim for $1400 was filed yester- day with the Board of Education by Weber & Co. for samples of furni- ture, valued at $6000, which the firm fur- nished the School Department a few months ago. This claim has never been pald because the contract was awarded contrary to the rules of the board. It has been the custom for samples of goods to remain in the storeroom of the department so that comparisons could be made when the supplies were furnished. The contention In this Instance is raised by the firm that the desks, etc., furnished samples have been distributed among varfous schools and have been used by the department for some months. The contractors, belleving that they will never be paid for the original claim of $6000, now present a bill for the samples in the e at least a part of what they regard u«s due them. Chairman Holbrook of the finance committes of the Board of Education visited Auditor Wells yesterday morning regarding the payment of other miscei- neous claims to the amount of $600, which were Incurred i June of the last fiscal year and never patd. Mr. Holbrook stated that there would be a surplus of at least $4000 In the school funds which might be applied to the payment of these claims. The Auditor could not see his way clear to slgn the demands as the law specifically provides that if there is a surplus in one fiscal year it must be car- ried over until the next, so the matter will remaln in abeyance. —_———— READY FOR PARIS. California’s Exhibit Is Nearly Com- plete and on the Road. The work of the California Paris Ex- position Commission is about completed, full exhibit which will be this State's ghare of the grand exposition will be on its way to the French capital. This exhibit will not be alone of the farm or mine, but nearly every produc- tion, natural or artificial, which i1s Call- fornian in character will find a place in this State’s contribution. Onyx pedestals, rich carvings, statuary of home produc- tion, furs, furniture, wine exhibits and a large collection of photographs illustra- tive of California life, soclal, commercial and industrial, will form features of the show. Besides these there will be an art exhibit by the best local artists, some of v\l‘h‘um are scattered about in Kuropean cltfes. A speclal feature of California’'s par- ticipation in the exhibition will be the work done at the Social Economy con- resses. Ban Franoisco will vie with New Vork, Boston, Chicago, Philadelphia and St. Louis for the gold medal to be be- stowed upon the best municipal and eco- nomic exhibition. Photographs of the anhandle extension, the concrete water am at Crystal Springs, the cable car sys- tem, the ferry depot, the work of the Health Board and the Fire Department at work will be sent on.

Reading and writing rooms are being fitted up and a complete {nforma- tion bureau established. Varney Gaskill and an uniskpm secretary are now en route to look out for the State exhibit. Expert’s Bill Largely Reduced. The Judiclary Committee of the Board of Supervisors yesterday cut a demand of Carl Eisenschimel, the writing expert, from $125 to $10. The bill was for services rendered by the expert in the case of Thomas A. Kelly, police court clesk, who was on trial recently for felony. Judge Lawler certified that the services had been rendered, but he stated that he knew nothing as to the value thereof. The specific items of the bill which were re- garded as extortionate and were cut as follows: Study and preparation of testimony, from to $2; two days’ tes- timony in court, from to $4; one day additional prz—lmmuon of Wilson docu- ment, $25 to $2; one day additional testi- mony in court, $25 to $2. —_——————— ‘Will Complete Hall of Justice. A communication was received yester- day by the Board of Supervisors from the Pacific Surety Company, bondsmen for Bateman Brothers, contractors for the Hall of Justiee, in which the company states that it will take immediate steps to complete the building. Work will begin within the five days specified in the reso- lution adopted by the board and it will be diligently prosecuted to completion. It is thought that the building will be ready for occupancy by the Criminal Courts and other departments on January 15. The jail floor will not be finished until February 1, on account of the construc- tion of the locking device which will come from a St. Louis firm. Gained One Vote in the Recount. The park panhandle proposition voted for at Wednesday's election gained one vote yesterday in the official recount by the Election Commissioners. The total vote was 29,972, of which 21,91 were for the bonds, T840 against and 31 scattering.

There Is no fear that the rats on the Centennlal will carry any plague into San Francisco, as every one of the rodents will be ex- terminated. This operation is expected to be performed thoroughly by to-day and the transport will come to the wharf some time this afternoon, The Tartar very nearly went to the bottom with all hands during the voy- age from San Francisco to Manila. When on the meridian she was caught in a cy- clone that nearly wrecked all her upper works. The after house was stove in, two of the lifeboats were washed away and two more were smashed into kindling wood; skylights were stove in, cabins flooded, starboard bulwarks carried away and the after steering gear smashed. All in all, the transport had a close call. The remains of four persons came up on the Tartar. They were those of James Willlams, Company F, Twenty-eighth In- fantry; Sam Davis, Company G, and James Wigs, Company F. Twenty-eighth Infantry, and Richard Ball, an army butcher. Two stowaways also came bacl on the vessel. They were Frank A. Byrne, who made his way down on the George W.

It is not generally considered necessary that one should see a musiclan as well as hear him, and therefore the women in a concert audience take unto themselves the satisfaction of ignoring the high hat ordinance and placidly obstruct the vision of those who are so unfortunate as &it behind them. This is not a matter of very great moment at most musical enter- tainments, and at some might be account- ed a boon, but one's enjoyment of De Pachmann is materially enhanced by a visual observation of his methods. His digital facility is as interésting as that of any virtuoso, although his fingering is not modern, De Pachmann not being a disciple of the new pianism; it is rather the fantastic charpcter of his expresslan‘ and pose that attracts and amuses. De Pachmann's peculiarities were strik- ingly exemplified yesterday in the Schu- mann G minor Sonata. In the second movement (nmlmnunogl he was all rapt ecstacy, and in the scherzo that followed the embodiment of jocose humor. In a nocturne he dreams, in an etude he dem- onstrates, and If it were possible he would dance to his own %‘e ying of a mazurka. The programme an in an unorthodox manner with Beethoven's melodlous *“C Major Sonata, Op. 53."" The second item, “Scventeen Varlations Serieuses” (Men- delssohn-Bartholdl), a set of varlations within variations, was Interesting as an example of musical complexity and cam to a splendid climax in the final axpre: slon of the theme. The number was in- terrupted at the thirteenth variation by untimely applause. I do not think the unlucky integer had anything to do with it, but rather the unreason of the au- dience, or a part thereof, which was re- sponsible for a loss of the finale In several numbers. The American public has not been educated to applaud with propriety, and hence we find artists compelled to ac- knowledge not only after every number on the programme, but after every move- ment of sulte, sonata or symphony. De Pachmann did not seem satisfied with the programme, wnich he scanned from time to time, and played Chopin's “Etude No. | 5" with apparent reluctance. It was his encore number at the first | recital and In_order that his auditors should not suffer for the want of some- thing fresh he inserted the other G flat “Etude”” with marked success. He brought to the “Mazurka Op. 77" a sprightliness that was Inspiriting. The dancing qual- ity could not ,be more delightfully ren- dered. The same is true of Weber's “In- vitation a la Danse,” which ended the pro- gramme, but with which he took many technical libertles. He read Chopin's “Third Ballade” with much originality, though his use of syncopation was apo- cryphal, but one can forgive De Pach- mann much for the sureness of his charm. The last recital will take place this after- ngon at 3:15 o'clock. PORTER GARNETT. Took Up a Collection in Court. William Pyne, 16 years of age, appeared in Judge Graham’'s court yesterday on a charge of vagrancy. He was arrested on Wednesda; Herve. e boy told the “Judge that his mother was dead and his father sick, and he was walking to Baden to find work when the officer arrested him. The Judge dismissed the case and a collection was taken up In court for the boy. —_———— CAPITAL PRIZES Little Mexican 25 and 10 Cent Tickets. 72,382 draws $400, sold in San Francisco; 22,401 draws $1000, sold in Wadsworth, Nev.: 51270 draws $100,'sold in San Francisco.
