A POPULAR MOVEMENT.
Organization of Grant State Monu-
mental Association.

| grand mass meeting oil the CltlZenS OF
Sacramento was held in the Assembly
Chamber last evening under the auspices OF
the Grant Memorial Day Executive Com
mittee, for the purpose of inaugurating
measures toward the securing of Grant
monument in the Capitol grounds. The
meeting was called to order by John H.
Carroll, Chairman of the Committee, who
said it was called al the suggestion Of Gov
ernor Stoneman, who earnestly urged the
people of Sacramento to take the matter in
hand without moments delay. To defer
action upon the subject until the zeal of the
people has cooled Oft, would result IN nom
aclion and indefinite postponement. The
| speaker said the Governor and most of the
State officers were not present, owing to the
fact that they had been called to San Fran
cisco rather Unexpectedly. He thought
| whatever was done should be done with all
the speed possible. There were upwards of
| 700 voters in the State, and there should
be no trouble in raising from them, by 81
| subscriptions, $4,000 He thought a
scheme might be employed similar TO that
| used in raising money for the Centennial
Exhibition at Philadelphia. In that case
each member was given Il souvenir. 1t

Prof VIM. r. Welcller made some elo-
quent and highly eulogistic remarks upon
| the character of General Grant He said
! the fame of Grant was of such wide pro-
| portions, and the admiration of the man
| 50 widespread, that this movement should
| not be confined to a city or municipality,
| but extend throughout the entire State
| 1t should be State enterprise. He said it
was no time for a eulOgium that had al
| ready been pronounced by eloquent voices
and pens all over the land. Grant had the
| gratitude OF the entire people He was
| slngularly generous, Singularly modest,
! singulaTly magnanimOus. He had no
| hatred of sections but was Union man in
every sense of the word. He wanted u
| united people. In the heat Of the con-
! fict at no time did he forget that the
| CUnfederatcs were his fellow citizens. His
| head was not turned when Lee surrendered
| to him at AppomauoX-an occurrence that
would have turned the head of almost any
| victorious General that ever lived. Wash
| lngtOn, one of the greatest men that ever
| lived, had many bitter enemies Grant, at
one time. had many enemies, but left not
one behind. He was the greatest of all
war makers; he was the greatest Of all
| peacc-makerS.
At the close Of his remarks Mr. Welcker
! moved that the Executive Memorial Com
nittee be appointed Il Monumental Execu-
tive Committee.

! BEWARE OF FREEZING THE SroMAcH.-
Concerning the cases of death referred to
elsewhere as being, in all likelihood, the
direct result of stomach-freezing, a num-
| Der of Others have been reported in which
persons have been made very i'll (some
| barely escaping DEATH from too free in
! diligence in ice-cold drinks during recent
excessively hot spells. The fact should
| never be lost sight of-that when the
| weather is very hot and the body steaming,
the interior of the stomach is also in like
| condition; and it stands to reason that the
| flooding thereof with liquids of ice-like
| temperature must have a most dangerous
effect. Warm drinks are better than cold
ones at such times. but if the latter be ia
ken, it should be only in very small guam
! titles, and should not be allowed to leave
the mouth until the temperature had been
reduced. When attacks of gripping occur,
and while physician is being called one
of the best things that can be done for the
patient is to apply hot cloths to the stom-
| ach and give warm drinks.
