The Grand Marshal and his Aids had a
large meeting at the Golden Eagle Hotel
yesterday 1t was one of the most enthusi-
| astic meetings imaginable. Many details
were considered and disposed Of. The Aids
expressed the opinion that the whole effort as
to procession should be directed 60 the con-
ducting of an evening parade only. The
Grand Marshal desires all organizations TO
take part in the parade to report the names
of their officers to him at P. NJ, at Ed Il.
Taylor's Office, to-day, as the programme
must appear tomorrow morning. The Grand
Marshal has appointed Miss Kate Cross as
one Of his Aids, who, with Aid a. =. Wood
ruff, is to organize cavalcade OF horse
women, to appear in the line. Ladies de,
string to appear in that cavalcade should
report to Miss Cross at the southwest corner
of Tenth and L streets by tomorrow.
A call is issued for all business men, manu-
facturers, artisans, mechanics. and citizens
engaged in public pursuits, who are not to
appear in the procession with uniformed
organizations on Thursday, to meet at the
Supervisors rooms in the Courthouse, at ~
this evening" to arrange for a division IN the
procession. There is belief that the division
can be made to number 800-in carriages, on
horseback and on foot-and leading business
men urge large attendance tonight, which
can arrange, it is believed, all de-
tails in 30 minutes. A division, similar to
that in the procession at San Francisco Satur-
day night, is spoken of as the most i'm
pressiye and suggestive feature of the line.
A TEMPERANCE LEoTURE-Mrs. DR.. Potts
lectured at the Congregational Church last
evening. Her subject was Temperance.
Her method of treatment presented some
new ideas. The lady recognized the fact that
so long as the public sentiment calls for the
manufacture of alcoholic liquors for use as
beverage, it will be next to useless to attempt
to regulate or prohibit the manufacture.
Nevertheless, she believed in continuing the
effort to regulate the traffic, and did lot con-
ceal her sentiment as prehibitionlst. But
the great effort, she held, should be made in
the direction Of educating the public mind to
the physical dangers of the use of strong
drink as beverage, at the same time losing
no opportunity to impress the public mind
with the moral dangers and the social disas-
tiers resulting from drinking habits. When
ever, she held the public is educated up to
full realization of the physical evils of dram
drinking, and fully realizes how, in any form
and to any extent, it is destructive of all that
is enjoyable in life, and leads to the degen-
eracy of the race, then the regulation of the
traffic will follow as a natural response to the
proper popular sentiment In other words,
while evidently an enthusiast, the lady be-
lives in polite course, which to her, as
physician, seems to be education as TO the
uses and abuses of the body. The lady is an
earnest, thoughtful and interesting speaker,
and kept the attention of her audience well.

A Doc DEFENDS HIS NosE.-Barney Ker-
nan went into saloon on Third street last
evening, while somewhat under the influence
of liquor, and finding a bulldog lying asleep
on billiard table, took hold of his nose, just
for diversion, and suddenly gave it rotary
motion in a manner very much interfering
with its owners dignity. The dog didn't
appreciate the joke, and evidently thought
his persecutor was too cheeky, for he imme-
diately sprung upon Herman, catching him
in the face and lacerating one cheek serious
ly. This ended all transactions between
them, and Herman going out upon the side
walk his condition was noticed by officers
Ferral and Cafferty, who accompanied him
to physician and had his wound properly
cared for. Herman then insisted that the Of
ficers should go forthwith and kill the dog,
but upon making au investigation they were
satisfied that the dog could make clear
case of self-defense, and refused to interfere.
