EDITORIAL SMALL SHOT.
TENNESSEE to Alabama: Shake.

TENNESSEE to Alabama: Shake.
THE council has temporarily removed its
night-cap. A grateful community applaud.
VINCENT, like Polk, is described as "a per-
feet gentleman" Both are very imperfect
men.
THE object of the entertainment at Turner
hall tonight is worthy one. 1t should be
we'll attended.
We WANT no religious form of Government.
The Legislature should quietly ignore the
petition of the fanatics who demand that the
Bible be read in public schools.
THE Galveston News is becoming sus-
picious. 1t says: "The land spectators
were exceedingly active while the legislators
were talking. There were millions of money
in the business"
Mr.. WORKMAN has introduced in the
Legislature bill prohibiting the importation
of deadly weapons. 1t should not be passed.
If there were possibility that the provisions
of the bill could be enforced, that the effect Of
its passage would be to prevent all sales of
weapons and deprive the festive cowboy and
the city desperate Of means of furnishing
undertakes with business, no sensible person
would object to it; but none will venture to
assert that if the bill became law the hip
pockets of our border rufhans would not
present quite as bullying an appearance as at
present. Should the Legislature favorably
consider Mr.. Wortham's proposition peace
able citizens would be prevented from obtain
ing means of defending their property from
midnight marauders and their life from as
sassins, while the dangerous criminal classes
would not fail to find way in which they
might secure possession Of the knives, re-
volvers and slung shots which are the tools
in their vocation.
TIRE grisette has disappeared from Paris.

des Lilacs, the Grands Faux at Versailles, tc
the rout, the supper; took long rides in TIT
country and plucked flowers by the wayside
These were halcyon days and both were
happy. Yet there were tears as well as laugh
ter, for the grisette was but mortal and her af
lection for Alphonse was as great perhaps a.
that of the high-born lady he mentioned ii
the tear-stained note in which he sadly wrote
of the parting both had dreaded. Until ther
she was gay. A child of the earth she en-
joyed all its gifts. Her coquetries were her
cap of white linen decked with gay ribbon
her snow white collars and cuffs simply EN-
broidered, the neatest of bottineS and stock
ing that showed not wrinkle. She wore
neither hat nor dress of silk or satin, for t.

a loss Of her caste. She grew with the king

M1LtTARY-ooMPANY BIS MEETING.

Company B. of the First Artillery Regi-
ment, met in their quarters at Armory Hall
last evening. The attendance, as is usually
the case at all the meetings of this comp any,
was large and enthusiastic. After the regu-
lar weekly drill the arms were put away and
the company resolved themselves into a bust
ness meeting. The action of the officers who
!" sat down on the proposed encampment,
and who took from them their guns and re-
duced their monthly allowance, was dis
cussed and "cussed." They voted unani.
mously that not cent of the company funds
should be appropriated for encampment pur-
poses. A committee. consisting of Captain
Cook and Lieutenants Ryan, Woods and
Lowell, were appointed to confer with the
Board of Officers of the regiment that meet
on Saturday evening to consider the pro-
priety of going into camp. The Fourth Of
July committee being very DESTROYS that
Company should FIRE the national salute on
the Fourth of July, the company appointed
Lieutenant Ryan and Corporal Goddard a
committee to wait upon the proper authori-
ties and secure the retention of gun for that
nurpose.

Now however, all is changed. There is
store, which is Familiarity known all over the
coast, and with which nearly all people are
acquainted before they come to Sacramento A
store which has thus become prominent and sue
cessful, because it was early to break away from
these old-time methods. A store which, by its
principles and ways of business affords protec-
ton to every customer An out-of-toWn shop
per, coming to Sacramento to-day, thus expert
ences few of the perplexities arising in former
times He can come at once to our Establish
ment He will find under one roof nearly every
thing he needs. In each of the many depart
ments he obtains the advantage of wider
variety to select from than he can elsewhere.
He finds business conducted upon the most
approved modern methods He can wander at
will through the various points of the building,
without being importuned to buy-and in case
he chooses to trade is assured of courteous and
Just treatment.
The magnitude of the business which he
sees conducted before him inspires confidence.
Moreover, he finds the price plainly marked on
each article and knows that House which so
openly and unalterably fixes its prices is willing
to be judged by those prices. He feels that the
favorable verdict of the public would be reversed
in a day. and its trade seek other channels, if the
prices of this establishment were not right, and
its goods honest and reliable There is but one
price to all customers, whether young or old,
shrewd or inexperienced, and our out-of-town
shopper, after. trading quickly and without bag
Cling, returns to his home not alone pleased in
the better rates obtained by his visit, but con-
scious that no one could have bought to better
advantage Added to this is the comfortable
feeling that what does not suit can be returned
for exchange, or, if desired the money refunded
Under the "new way" of trade, it pays to
come to Sacramento to buy, as the hundreds of
visitors we serve almost daily can testify Nor
are the advantages presented of more vital i'm
portance to the out-of-town customers than they
are to the people Of our city.
We are building up a business which de-
pends for enduring success upon the faithfulness
with which we serve the public, and the ability
shown in gathering and placing before them, at
the least cost, the best products of the great
markets of the country.
And TO that end all our energies tend and
bend.

CHANGED DAILY FOR MECHANICS STORE.
The old way VS.. theneW.

111O O1N w Ny VO. O44O 11O w
Is is well known that part Of the commercial
activity of Sacramento, especially in the retail
business is due to the trade which it gets from
out-of-town customers who periodically make
shopping trips to our city The marked changes
which have come in business methods and
principles, and to which we refer in our heading
as "The Old vs. the New Way is shown
in no clearer light than by the contrast afforded
between the ease and certainty with which these
customers can make their purchases at present.
and the difficulties formerly experienced.
Imagine the feelings of an out-of-town Gus
toner thus coming to the city number of years
ago. No sooner was he landed at the depot
than the most perplexing questions presented
themselves Where shall he find quickly just
what he wants? Where shall he trade with a
surety that he is not being overcharged ?
Usually there was but one way of procedure
open or indeed thought of. He would travel
from store to store compare prices as best he
might, and buy such goods as seemed desirable
to him in quality and price.
Nowhere was there fxity of prices. He
therefore felt obliged to haggle over the price
asked by the merchant for each article because he
had at various times thereby succeeded in effect
ING large reductions, and if in one case why not
in every case? How else could he be sure of
getting the merchants true price? Inevitably in
his wide and tiresome rounds the buyer was
sure to meet the shreWd sharper in trade, who
spared no pains in order to reap fat harvest
from any ignorance of quality or value After
much loss of time, the stranger would return to
his home Very often he would find upon COM
pairing his purchases with those made by his
neighbors, that Notwithstanding the man who
was selling at cost" he had paid large
per cent more than his neighbor for perhaps
identically the same goods.
