For three days ‘the school exhibit -designed for exhibition pur- poses at ‘the St. Louis Fair has been on display in the drawing-rooms of the Lincoln 8chool on Fifth street. - During the three days that the pub- ‘lic has been permitted to view the ex- hibit many thousand people have availed themselves of the opportunity. The entire exhibit has been packed and will be forwarded immediately to St. Louls for installation in the space allotted to California. A. A. Macurda, Deputy Superintendent of Schools, has been in charge of the exhibit, but it has not been definitely settled whether he will go to the exposition city. The work of the pupils of the Chinese School is deserving of commendation, and the colorgd ‘‘Spontaneous Story Drawings,” in which are pictured the Jimpressions of the *“juvenile followers of Confucius,” of events in daily life, form one of the attractions. The products of the manual train- ing course by boys of the seventh and eighth grades occupy a prominent place and the drawings and music by the girls of the Jean Parker School are well displayed. It ‘is the work of the little tots, however, that arouses the most interest, as every one of the papers, from the crude colored crayon sketch of the six-year-old to the more finished water color of the older chil- dren, represents much patient effort and careful preparation. The oral school for deaf children also has a display, and, the twenty-four children have made a creditable showing. The exhibit of the high schools is also strong. ——— e Drummers Form Corporation.

They were ar- rested in Vallejo on Wednesday with a small quantity of counterfeit quarter dollars and nickels which they had been using to defraud nickel-in-the- slot machines. The counterfeits were very clumsily molded, and the im- pression was only on one side of the cqins, the other side being hl’nk. They would not deceive any one, and, under a decision by United States District Judge de Haven rendered about a year ago, it would not be possible to secure a conviction in such a case. Before releasing the men, Agent Hazen took their Bertillon measure- ments and their photographs for pos- sible use in the future. The prisoners declared they did not think they were doing anything wrong in “beating” what they deemed gambling machines, but they promised they would not make any more half coins.
