I On Monday next the citrus fair opens in i this city, in the Arcade building, Second i street, between J and K. The front and interior of the building has been trimmed with palm leaves, giving a fine tropical ap- pearance. The building is large, and gives an excellent opportunity for a display of citrus fruit*. The western wing will be occupied by Yuba, Butte and Placer coun- ties, each of which willbe represented by such a wonderful display of citrus fruits that visitors will be astonished, and the natives themselves surprised, at the quality, quantity and variety. For the last two days exhibitshave been arriving on almost every train that came in from northern and cen- tral California, and the managers already begin to exclaim, '\u25a0 What are we going to do with it?" The Horticultural Hall of the State exposition building would be none too large to hold this immense display of citrus fruit, which now bids fair to excel j anything of the kind ever attempted on this coast or in the United States. The extent and value of the citrus crop in the section which will be represented, was never dreamed of, and one of the greatest resources we have lias apparently sprung up and claimed its supremacy as if by the touch of a magic wand. The orange grovp3 of Los Angeles, San Gabriel and Florida cannot at this early season of the year make such an excellent showing, and iat no season can produce such finely flavored fruit, grown without irrigation. That this citrus fair will be productive of j much -good, so far as showing the possibili- j ties of our soil and climate, is a foregone i conclusion, and is the beginning of what | will become an annual exposition, that will j grow with years, and will eventually cause j all those who wish to profit in citrus cult- , tire to engage in that pursuit in thissection. i The immigrant who comes down from the j drifting snows of the Sierras in a few brief hours, and walks into this semi-tropical exhibition, will experience a transition al- most beyond his conception. This afternoon at ; :> o'clock there will be a meeting of the Executive Committee at i the office of Charles K. Parsons. It will be j the last meeting before !tie opening of tbe fair, ami every member is expected to be present.. On Friday next the ExeculiveCommittee have decided to have what they call San I Francisco day. On that day a cordial in- vitation is extended to all Ike good people nf the bay cities to be present, and they will be admitted free. It will be worth the I while of everyone, who can spare the time, to visit the pavilion. L. M. Holt, of Riverside, and editor of the I'ress ami HurticuituriH, will also be present and make an extensive exhibit of citrus fruits grown in that section.

A matinee to day and final presentation of the drama to-night and to-morrow night. Police Court. In the Police Court yes- terday Judge Henry rendered a decision in the ca3e of Charles Willhite. the JTOung man arrested a few evenings since for dis- turbing the peace at thr Salvation Army barracks, directing that he be discharged, as the evidence was not conclusive that he was the guilty party C. I. ¥<>\u25a0<$, con- victed some time since, of misdemeanor, was lined $5. Metropolitan Theater.— Leavitt's vari- ety troupe had a good house last night. It gives what is in the truest sense a " show." The entertainment opened with C. H..Stan- ley and Lizzie Conway in a song sketch, interspersed with witty repartee, fairly given. The two Martcll brothers followed with some of the best acrobatic exercises ever seen here. Tilt's marionettes were then put through their paces, and were very cleverly handled. J. J. Sullivan, a good Irish character actor, followed, and was succeeded by the Martell family, four in number, in bicycle riding of a very graceful and difficult character. Manchest- er and Jennings, burnt cork character act- ors, proved to be admirable low comedians. Yuljeun, the juggler, top-spimier, ball- tosser and knife-thrower, came next in a thoroughly good exhibition, concluding it with the Introduction by him of a well-trained pigeon. W 1. Beas- ley and S. and M. Western fol- lowed in a musical number of the pro- gramme that was decidedly the gem of the whole list. They gave jubilee ai;<! planta- tion songs, and quartets, duos and trios, upon mandolins, guitars, hautboys, tlutcs, cornets, piccolos and sleigh-bells" and had in reserve still other instruments. They play with taste and precision, and are ex- ceedingly expert in their method of enter- taining. The programme closed with a farce, \u25a0\u25a0 A Crowded Hotel," introducing W. K. Carroll, an excellent Irish character actor, and J. J. Sullivan, already men- tioned, and most of the troupe. Inall it was an enjoyable entertainment, of the lighter order, well managed, and given by a company in which there are no dead weights, and where activity and capability are to the fore, and broad humor and pood music prevail. A matinee this afternoon, a last night performance to-night, and as the company i;ot.-& East to-morrow night, an afternoon peiformance is announced for to- morrow at 2 o'clock. D. D. <.. M.. W. F.

Governor Stoneman has addressed the following circular to the Secretaries of the different agricultural districts throughout the State : " The terms of a portion of the directors of your agricultural district ex- pired on the tirst of December. As I am desirous of making appointments to till the vacancies, you will please consult with the Directors, the people engaged in agri- culture in your vicinity, and in the coun- ties comprising the district, and suggest names for appointment.'' Yesterday as a couple of boys on a gro- cery delivery wagon were passing Eighth and I streets, one of them took from a basket a large-sized potato and huried it at a pusMng Celestial, hitting him in the bade oi the head. The Chinaman picked up a large-sized cobble, arid threw it at the boys. Ho made :i cazram .--hot, as it struck one of the boys in the bark, and glum-ing struck the other on the s-i«l«» of the head. Thow who witnessed it cheered the Chinaman, who marched away with quite a triumph- ant air. In Justice Post's Court yesterday after- noon the case of Chung Hing. accused by Quong Soon of grand larceny, was taken up and the testimony of one witness heard, after which the matter was continued until next Friday, at 10 a. m. It appears that Hing and Soon were partners in a contract for picking grapes in Yolo county last fall, and Hing is accused of having appropri- ated to himself $3U of community funds, which, however, he denies.

John Mc- Neill, A. S. Hopkins and G. O. Bates. Deputy Clerk of the Supreme Court J. S. Williams yesterday settled with the State Controller, and paid into the State Treasury the s m of $1,03G 40. This was the fees for December, $.Sj« 40 ; the fees for the first six days in January, $112 50, and for errors, $07 50 . This straightens up the accounts of the late Clerk, McCarthy, so far as the State is concerned. One of the walls of the Standard Oil Company's storehouse, in Washington (the floor of which fell Thursday evening in consequence of the great weight upon it), has fulltn out. and workmen were yester- day engaged in removing the cans of oil in order that repairs may lie made. Deputy Sheriff Wilson brought tip from San Francisco last evening, en route to the State Prison at Folsom, Fred Lee-are, who is to serve two years for burglary. Sheriff Hale, of Alameda county, brought up, for the same destination, Charles" Nicholas, sentenced to one year for burglary, and .lolm Ryan, one and a half years for petit larceny. Sergeant Barwick says that according to the Signal Service reports, at 7 o'clock last night, a rain-storm has made its appear- ance at Tatoosh Island, there being at that hour .01 of an inch precipitated, and rain was still falling. The F.urcka masquerade ball will be held in the old Pavilion, Sixth and M streets, February 11th, there being plenty of room there to accommodate the large number of people that will be in attendance. J. C. Seymonr, of San Francisco, visited the city yesterday, to see what arrange- ments could be made for a mounted sword contest here between D. C. Ross and some other swordsman. Officers Coffey and Arlington arrested a fellow on Second street, near the junction of the road leading to the bridge, yester- day morning, for an indecent exposure of person. These arrests were made yesterday : Louise Malagee, by officer Ash, for exhibit- ing; Mrs. Cullen, by the same officer, for disturbing the peace. George F. Bronne» has a canary bird 14 years old that is an excellent singer. But six immigrants arrived from the East yesterday morning, four of whom went to San Francisco and two to Merced. That portion of the State Capitol grounds lying directly west of the exposition build- ing is being plowed up and sowed to grain. Early yesterday morning two coats and two pairs of pantaloons were stolen from in front of G. Politz's clothing store, Sixth and X streets. Trains are now running to Slate creek, five miles north of Delta. BRIEF NOTES. The Sacramento river has fallen to 21 feet 10 inches. The committee appointed by the Anti- Chinese Association to ascertain about work being had for unemployed white peo- ple on the grant, stated yesterday that work could be had for 100 men, if they ap- plied. Tools will be furnished them to work, tents to live in, and either provisions to board themselves, or board. A large number of men signed the list yesterday to go there to work. Anyinformation can be had concerning the work, at the free em- ployment oftice established by the Asso- ciation in the Clunie building, on X, be- tween Kighth and Ninth streets. A visitor to this city, while going from the Western Hotel to the Metropolitan Theater last evening, was importuned three different times by as many men all lusty fellows— who told pitiful tales of being cold and hungry, and begged for a little assistance, lie gave each of them a <|iiar- ter, but after the last application concluded that it was gettrhg a little monotonous, and determined to wait awhile, near the corner of Fourth and X streets, and watch devel- opments. It was but a minute or two be- fore he saw (he three men meet, compare nates, and then resort to a beer saloon to "'set em up." Some prominent residents of this city. including a few .State officers, are arrang- ing tlit- preliminaries for the formation of a club to be known as the Bald Eagles. There is much to be done in the matter of arranging the degrees ofbaldn . of rank and pn lento; and there seems to be a disposition on the part of some to split hairs, as it were, wuen considering it. However, the energetic gentlemen who have undertaken the organization of the. club are not discouraged, but expect to be able to get everything in running order shortly. If the Kiralfvs. or any other leg- itimate company shoald visit the cityabout the time or the organization, the Eagles will have an evening parade and attend the theater in a body, engaging beforehand a portion of the house where they can see and be seen. fc .Tamos (Jauley. an officer at the State Prison at PolflOm for two years past, died Thursday night, after a lontr illness. Mr. Gauley had been suffering from weak lungs for several years, and at iirst the climate of Fotoom made a change lor the better, but the disease had taken too firm a hold, and he gradually succumbed. The deceased was a native of Massachusetts and a pio- neer of California, having arrived by way of Cape Horn in 184!). He proceeded di- rectly to the mines, where lie successfully engaged in mining operations for many years, and until financial reverses overtook him. Two years ago he received the ap- pointment of Moral Instructor at the Fol- soni I'rison. A N'ovf.i. TIIIM iTf HI Yesterday Kmory 1.. '\Villard, of San Francisco, tiled a trade-mark in the office of the Secretary of State, which, to say the least, is novel, unique, and not easily counterfeited.

A meeting of the pastors and laymen of the different churches of the city was held at tiie Y. M. C. A. rooms, on Thursday afternoon, to take action concerning tlie coming to this city of Dr. L. W. Munhall, the famous evan- gelist, now working at Los Angeles. There were represented the Congregational. Bap- tist, Presbyterian, Methodist South and Methodist churches. Rev. A. U. Herrirk, of Calvary Baptist Church, in the (hair. Her. Difie, of the Committee on Corre- spondence, read a telegram from Dr. kfnn- hall announcing that he could reach Sac- ramento on Wednesday, the Kith instant, and that the committee had telegraphed, in response, for him to come on. The meeting indorsed the action of the com- mittee, and proceeded to arrange for Dr. Muaball'a coming. A committee of ar- rangements was ordered, composed of the pastors ot the various churches, and one layman for each church, and named as fol- lows it, v. Rioe, Chairman ; Rev. I'ilben.

Itis also a little disastrous to Mr. Wom- bles claim that he never stole anything except a little tobacco from hi- father, that be should have tcstiiied in the Sacramento Police Court May 1. 1966, in the CMof A. Polese, charged with receiving stolen goods, that he iWomblei had stolen and sold chickens to the defendant frequently including some black Spanish fowls be- longing to Frank Powell ; and that he should go on to give the names of the boy- who also stole chickens, and give the de- tails of the thefts. J. W. Womble, one of the Anti-Coolie League Club Presidents of San Francis- co, addressed a meeting of the League on Thursday night, in which he en- deavored to vindicate himself from certain accusations as to want of character. It seems that he was a resident of Sacra- mento when a boy, and many now living here are willing to acknowledge the cor- rectness of that portion of his remark* which refers to his " toughness. " Accord- ing to his own account he was not so evil- dispositioned as he was queer: he had a singular idea of what constituted fun. This is what lie says: " When 1 was a boy you bet your life I was a young hellion. 'I Was just at tough as they made 'em. All the policemen in Sacramento knew me. and don't you forget it ; but Inever stole no chickens. Now about that chicken racket. When 1 was about 14 1 was just full of devilish meanness, but it was jut boy fun. I'd he walking along, and may he ifidsee a chicken, and I had a stir k 'in my hand, I'd break its legs or hit it with a brick, or something of that kiud, but I wouldn't take it away , I'd just leave it there. J just did it for fun. Well, a neighbor went to my father and gut him to send me to the Reform School, because he couldn't do anything mth'tne. 1 made a record in the Reform School as was never beat by any boy that ever came out ,of that school. Why. the last eleven months I served aa chief of the police in the institute. The first tiling I ever stole in my life it was the policeman that made the charge against me in Sacramento that got me to do it. He got he to steal tobacco from my father and give it to him when he was driving a dump-wagon ; but that was all I* ever stole. And afterward he wanted to get at me be- cause he killed the Poundkeeper with a brick, and 1 was the only one that saw him doit." Inasmuch as there never was a Sacramento Poundkeeper kil'.ed with a brick, Mr. Womb!e's Statements may de- serve to have a shadow of doubt thrown over them. Enjoyed Fun.

" Boss of the ItOAP."—As Mr. Mcln- tosh, of Chico, was in the city willing to sell the pacer Fred Ackennan, not having another horse to take around the circuit with him next season, and it being rather expensive to take one horse, C. H. Gilman has been considering the advisability of baying him for a roadster. At the track yesterday morning he was talking with I. J. Williams, the well-known driver, rela- tive to Ackerman's speed, which Will- iams, he thought, eattmateotoo highly, and he OtTered to bet $50 that he couldn't" drive him a mile in 2:2.'>, in three trials. Will- iams accepted the challenge, though it was rather ri>ky at this season of the yeai. when horses are short of work, and drove the pacer a mile very handily in 12:l'1, at the tirst effort, making the first quarter in 57 m onds, and the half in 1:1:;, finishing with a rush. Mr. Gilman, though he had loet baa (Taper, was well pleased with the hone, and immediately purchased him for $1,000 and bil old pacer " Foss." Acker- man is a young horse, sound, of good dis- position ami a tirst-class roadster. He will be the "' boss of the road" when the River- side opens again. Conference with Salvation Army Officers. Yesterday the City Attorney and Chief of Police sent for the Captain of the Salva- tion Army, with a view o f consulting upon the propriety of discontinuing the Army's street parades. Agreeable to ap- pointment Miss M. J. Ross. Captain, and Miss L.A. Kiefort, Lieutenant, called at the office of the City Attorney, and the trio were soon joined by Chief Jackson. Itwas suggested to the zealous workers in the cause of religion that perhaps much more service could be done by deferring the street parades ; that these only brought together a class dangerous to themselves as well as to the community ; that there are many desperate and disreputable persons who are Induced by the display to follow the army and create disorder, which at any moment might lesuk in injury to person or prctperty, thus making the city responsible in damagps. It was also shown to the ladies that many citizens are complaining of the disturbances created by the noise of the crowds that congregate at the street- corner services, and which follow them around the streets. The law relating to such disturbances was read, with a sug- gestion as to the rights ot citizens to enjoy peace and qtriet, and that no person or as- semblage of persons had any right to inter- fere with the comfortable enjoyment of life ami property by any considerable num- ber of citizen*. It was particularly im- pressed upon them that at least for the present their street demonstrations should be discontinued. Otherwise, some very- serious trouble might grow out of theni, which their work could in no wise com- pensate for. Captain Ross was firm in the belief that great good was being done by the street parade*, and that many souls were being saved. And when the City Attorney suggested to her that someone might get injured or killed in these dem- onstrations, she replied : '• What does that matter if w.e save one soul from hill '.'" After exchanging view*upon this matter, the Captain and Lieutenant said : "We will go home and pray upon the subject, and if God advisee us to give up the street parades we will do it!" They seemed, however, to think that God was with them, and that the parades would continue. The City Attorney told them that they must take the consequences of any future disturbances upon account of their paradc3 ; that the ad- vice was meant in a good spirit, and for the best interests of all concerned.

There are so many strong and telling reasons in favor of trad- ing at our stores that some of the lesser advantages are apt to escape attention. Did you ever think what an advantage it is to be served quickly ? To have your goods done up without shortages and errors in measure- ments ? Anyone who has ever had experience knows how un- pleasant it is to go back to a store and make the explanations necessary in order to have such matters righted. At best, it's an ordeal which people are glad to avoid. We do not, of course, claim for ourselves total ex- emption from errors. Far from it. We do claim, however, that our methods are the most per- fect in use that zoith a trade very much larger than that of other merchants, fewer errors are made by far. In fact, trade is now conducted here so cor- rectly, quickly and with little friction, that one hardly suspects its volume. emKsfock ( | tiUbta ffOO, *O^ 400, 408 X st..Sacrame?ito. CHALLENGE!

TheCitrus Fair.I On Monday next the citrus fair opens ini this city, in the Arcade building, Secondi street, between J and K. The front and

interior of the building has been trimmedwith palm leaves, giving a fine tropical ap-pearance. The building is large, and givesan excellent opportunity for a display ofcitrus fruit*. The western wing will beoccupied by Yuba, Butte and Placer coun-ties, each of which willbe represented bysuch a wonderful display of citrus fruitsthat visitors will be astonished, and thenatives themselves surprised, at the quality,quantity and variety. For the last twodaysexhibitshave been arriving on almost everytrain that came in from northern and cen-tral California, and the managers alreadybegin to exclaim, '\u25a0 What are we going todo with it?" The Horticultural Hall ofthe State exposition building wouldbe nonetoo large to hold this immense display ofcitrus fruit, which now bids fair to excel janything of the kind ever attempted onthis coast or in the United States. Theextent and value of the citrus crop in thesection which will be represented, wasnever dreamed of, and one of the greatestresources we have lias apparently sprungup and claimed its supremacy as if bythe touch of a magic wand. The orangegrovp3 of Los Angeles, San Gabriel andFlorida cannot at this early season of theyear make such an excellent showing, and

iat no season can produce such finelyflavored fruit, grown without irrigation.That this citrus fair willbe productive of

jmuch -good, so far as showing the possibili-j ties of our soil and climate, is a foregoneiconclusion, and is the beginning of what|willbecome an annual exposition, that willj grow with years, and willeventually causejall those who wish to profit in citrus cult-, tire to engage in that pursuit in thissection.iThe immigrant who comes down from thejdrifting snows of the Sierras ina few briefhours, and walks into this semi-tropicalexhibition, will experience a transition al-most beyond his conception.

This afternoon at ;:> o'clock there will bea meeting of the Executive Committee atithe office ofCharles K.Parsons. Itwillbejthe last meeting before !tie opening of tbefair, ami every member is expected to bepresent..

On Friday next the ExeculiveCommitteehave decided to have what they call SanIFrancisco day. On that day a cordial in-

vitation is extended to all Ike good peoplenf the bay cities to be present, and theywillbe admitted free. It willbe worth the

I while of everyone, who can spare the time,to visit the pavilion.

L. M. Holt, of Riverside, and editor ofthe I'ress ami HurticuituriH, will also bepresent and make an extensive exhibit ofcitrus fruits grown in that section.

Sullivan, agood Irish character actor, followed, andwas succeeded by the Martell family, fourin number, in bicycle riding of a verygraceful and difficultcharacter. Manchest-er and Jennings, burnt cork character act-ors, proved to be admirable low comedians.Yuljeun, the juggler, top-spimier, ball-tosser and knife-thrower, came next in athoroughly good exhibition, concluding itwith the Introduction by him ofa well-trained pigeon. W 1. Beas-ley and S. and M. Western fol-lowed in a musical number of the pro-gramme that was decidedly the gem of thewhole list. They gave jubilee ai;<! planta-tion songs, and quartets, duos and trios,upon mandolins, guitars, hautboys, tlutcs,cornets, piccolos and sleigh-bells" and hadin reserve still other instruments. Theyplay with taste and precision, and are ex-ceedingly expert in their method of enter-taining. The programme closed with afarce, \u25a0\u25a0 ACrowded Hotel," introducing W.K. Carroll, an excellent Irish characteractor, and J. J. Sullivan, already men-tioned, and most of the troupe.

An F.vanvei.ist Comas.—

A meeting ofthe pastors and laymen of the differentchurches of the city was held at tiie Y. M.C. A. rooms, on Thursday afternoon, to takeaction concerning tlie coming to this cityof Dr. L. W. Munhall, the famous evan-gelist, now workingat Los Angeles. Therewere represented the Congregational. Bap-tist, Presbyterian, Methodist South andMethodist churches. Rev. A. U.

Difie, of the Committee on Corre-spondence, read a telegram from Dr. kfnn-hall announcing that he could reach Sac-ramento on Wednesday, the Kith instant,and that the committee had telegraphed,in response, for him to come on.

Itis also a littledisastrous to Mr.Wom-bles claim that he never stole anythingexcept a little tobacco from hi- father, thatbe should have tcstiiied in the SacramentoPolice Court May 1. 1966, in the CMof A.Polese, charged with receiving stolengoods, that he iWomblei had stolen andsold chickens to the defendant frequentlyincluding some black Spanish fowls be-longing to Frank Powell ;and that heshould go on to give the names of the boy-who also stole chickens, and give the de-tails of the thefts.

J. W. Womble, one of the Anti-CoolieLeague Club Presidents of San Francis-co, addressed a meeting of the Leagueon Thursday night, in which he en-deavored to vindicate himself from certainaccusations as to want of character. Itseems that he was a resident of Sacra-mento when a boy, and many now livinghere are willing to acknowledge the cor-rectness of that portion of his remark*which refers to his

"toughness. "

Accord-ing to his own account he was not so evil-dispositioned as he was queer: he had asingular idea of what constituted fun. Thisis what lie says:

"When 1 was a boy you

bet your lifeIwas a young hellion. 'I Wasjust at tough as they made 'em. All thepolicemen in Sacramento knew me. anddon't you forget it;but Inever stole nochickens. Now about that chicken racket.When 1 was about 14 1 was just full ofdevilish meanness, but it was jut boy fun.I'd he walking along, and may he ifidseea chicken, and Ihad a stir k 'in my hand,I'd break its legs or hit it with a brick, orsomething of that kiud, but Iwouldn'ttake it away , I'd just leave it there. J justdid it for fun. Well, a neighbor went tomy father and gut him to send me to theReform School, because he couldn't doanything mth'tne. 1 made a record in theReform School as was never beat by anyboy that ever came out ,of that school.Why. the last eleven months Iserved aachief of the police in the institute. Thefirst tilingIever stole in my lifeit was thepoliceman that made the charge againstme in Sacramento that got me to do it. Hegot he to steal tobacco from my father andgive it to him when he was driving adump-wagon ;but that was all I*ever stole.And afterward he wanted to get at me be-cause he killed the Poundkeeper with abrick, and 1 was the only one that saw himdoit." Inasmuch as there never was aSacramento Poundkeeper kil'.ed with abrick, Mr. Womb!e's Statements may de-serve to have a shadow of doubt thrownover them.

Enjoyed Fun.

"Boss of the ItOAP."—As Mr. Mcln-

tosh, of Chico, was in the city willing tosell the pacer Fred Ackennan, not havinganother horse to take around the circuitwith him next season, and it being ratherexpensive to take one horse, C. H. Gilmanhas been considering the advisability ofbaying him for a roadster. At the trackyesterday morning he was talking with I.J. Williams, the well-known driver, rela-tive to Ackerman's speed, which Will-iams, he thought, eattmateotoo highly, andhe OtTered to bet $50 that he couldn't" drivehim a mile in 2:2.'>, in three trials. Will-iams accepted the challenge, though it wasrather ri>ky at this season of the yeai.when horses are short of work, and drovethe pacer a mile very handily in 12:l'1, atthe tirst effort, making the first quarter in57 m onds, and the half in 1:1:;, finishingwith a rush.

Conference with Salvation Army Officers.Yesterday the City Attorney and Chief

of Police sent for the Captain of the Salva-tion Army, with a view o f consultingupon the propriety of discontinuing theArmy's street parades. Agreeable to ap-pointment Miss M.J. Ross. Captain, andMiss L.A. Kiefort, Lieutenant, called atthe office of the City Attorney, and the triowere soon joined by Chief Jackson. Itwassuggested to the zealous workers in thecause of religion that perhaps much moreservice could be done by deferring the streetparades ; that these only brought togethera class dangerous to themselves aswell as to the community ; that there aremany desperate and disreputable personswho are Induced by the display to followthe army and create disorder, which at anymoment might lesuk in injury to person orprctperty, thus making the city responsiblein damagps. It was also shown to theladies that many citizens are complainingof the disturbances created by the noise ofthe crowds that congregate at the street-corner services, and which follow themaround the streets. The law relating tosuch disturbances was read, with a sug-gestion as to the rights ot citizens to enjoypeace and qtriet, and that no person or as-semblage of persons had any right to inter-fere with the comfortable enjoyment oflifeami property by any considerable num-ber of citizen*. It was particularly im-pressed upon them that at least for thepresent their street demonstrations shouldbe discontinued. Otherwise, some very-serious trouble might grow out of theni,which their work could in no wise com-pensate for. Captain Ross was firm in thebelief that great good was being done bythe street parade*, and that many soulswere being saved. And when the CityAttorney suggested to her that someonemight get injured or killed in these dem-onstrations, she replied : '• What does thatmatter if w.e save one soul from hill '.'"After exchanging view*upon this matter,the Captain and Lieutenant said : "Wewill go home and pray upon the subject,and ifGod advisee us to give up the streetparades we will do it!" They seemed,however, to think that God waswith them, and that the paradeswould continue. The City Attorneytold them that they must take theconsequences of any future disturbancesupon account of their paradc3 ; that the ad-vice was meant in a good spirit, and forthe best interests of all concerned. LftStevening the army did not parade.

LITTLEPOINTS.There are so many strong and

telling reasons in favor of trad-ing at our stores that some ofthe lesser advantages are apt toescape attention. Did you everthink what an advantage it is tobe served quickly ? To haveyour goods done up withoutshortages and errors in measure-ments ? Anyone who has everhad experience knows how un-pleasant it is to go back to astore and make the explanationsnecessary in order to have suchmatters righted. At best, it'san ordeal which people are gladto avoid. We do not, of course,claim for ourselves total ex-emption from errors. Far fromit. We do claim, however, thatour methods are the most per-fect in use

—that zoith a trade

very much larger than that ofother merchants, fewer errorsare made by far. In fact, tradeis now conducted here so cor-rectly, quickly and with littlefriction, that one hardly suspectsits volume.
