Rocklin Granite Cutters, Quarrymen's
and Tool-sharpener's Unions made.
There were several hundred of them in
line, and besides being all fine looking
men, they were uniquely uniformed. All
wore soft brown felt hats, neat shirts of
hight striped material, aprons to match,
and ali carried colored fans. In the
midst of them were two carriages con-
tanning the officers Of the unions. Verify,
the Rockiin boys turned out in style, and
they We're the center Of attraction all
along the line.
THE UPHOLSTERERS.
The Upholsterers' Union carried a
pretty banner, attached to which were
long cotored streamers supported by the
men. This is another new organization.
The officers of the union are: George a.
P!easance, President: George w. PIatt,
Nlce-President; w. +. House, Secretary;

PLUMBERS.
The plumbers and gasfitters were next
IN line in good numbers, and dressed in
their best suits Of clothes. This is still
another of the younger labor organiza-
tlons Of Sacramento, but promises to soon
be one Of the strongest. Following are
its officers: V. J. Toiley, President; c.
Bockrath, Vice e-Presideut; Chris. Schmid,
Secretary; c. 3. Conn, Treasurer; G.. En-

After the plumbers came the brick
layers, wearing their aprons and badges,
and carrying fans. This union was
organized in 1883. The officers are: O.
a. Henley, President; John Haley, Sec
rotary; NichOiaus Buff, Treasurer:
Patrick 0'Keily, Sergeant at Arms:

order, discipline and sobriety the demon
stratiOn of yesterday was never sur
passed.
And such a big turnout! But then
that was not unexpected, as the prepara-

on for several weeks, and it was fire.
quently given out that on the day of the
parade an immense body of men would
be in line.
Everything came up to the highest ex-
pcctations, and taken altogether it was a
great triumph for organized labor.
At the conclusion of the parade literary
exercises were held at the Plaza, which
were listened TO by an immense concourse
ofpeople. The addresses were unusually
interesting.
The great day concluded with a grand
ball in the Assembly Chamber of the
Capitol in the evening, which was
largely attended, and at which every
body had a good time.
Business was generally suspended
throughout the city during the afternoon,
flags fioated gaily from every mast, and
many houses were decorated with bunt-
ing.

now arrived when organized labor will
demand with a voice that caunot bo mis-
understood that public officers shall be
the servants of the people and not the
servants of corporations and trusts.
Already following out this idea,
organized labor has been in
strumental in forcing the pas
sage of the Australian ballot law, the
monthly pay day law, and in defeating
an unjust and tyrannous amendment TO
THE CONSPIRACY LAW
OF this State, the enactment of which
would have deprived us OF the right to
combine for self-protection and use our
patronage as weapon of Self-defense.
Fellow-!abOrers, | cannot refrain from
eXhorting each and every one of you to
consider that the honor and good name OF
your respective callings rests partly upon
you, and every man should honor the
trade OF his choice by which he earns his
daily bread and clothes, feeds and COM
fOrtably houses the wife of his bosom and
the heirs at least of his name. Let us
each, then, realizing our individual re-
sponsibility to ourselves and our fellows,
lead sober, upright and industrious lives.
Living for those who love us,
For those who know us true,
For the right that needs assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
And the good that we can do.

Labor Problem.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Tindall's adj
dress, Rev. J. Leonard Levy was intro
duced by the President of the Day. The
reverend gentleman spoke as follows:
Mr.. Chairman and F'eLloa0-citazeaaS: L
am here, in response to the request of
your committee, to speak on a subject OF
interest to all present.
We are not assembled either for the
purpose of offering or of listening to old
and oft-repeated compliments TO labor.
1t is sufficient when we realize that labor
is an institution, coming direct from God,
and that it was His will to make it the
universal condition of mortal existence.
1t is not so much the necessity for labor,
nor the special merits of the laborer, that
we wish to discuss. But we are here to
speak about those disturbing humanin influ-
ences and conditions surrounding labor
and the laborer, which, in their operation
tend to destroy that harmonious relation
among men that would prevail, if equity

Had not every detail with reference TO
the formation of the long column been
attended to by Marshal Hantzman and
his Aids, it would have been a difficult
task to get the procession started at the
advertised time-2:30 2. NJ.
But as it was there was little delay.
Great crowds of people blocked the
sidewalks throughout the line of march,
and expressions of admiration and praise
for the fine appearance the men made
could be heard on all sides. Windows,
balconies, and all points Of vantage were
occupied.
The line moved up NJ street, where it
had formed, to Tenth, thence to K, down
IL TO Second, to }, to Tenth, and counter
marching on Tenth, and Ninth around
the Plaza.
THE LEADERS.
The procession was headed by a SQUAD
OF eight police officers, in full uniform, in
charge of Chief Drew.
Then came Grand Marshal Hantzman,
mounted, and wearing a scarlet sash.
With him, also mounted, were his Aids
and Division MarShals, wearing hand
some blue silk sasheS.
Following these came an open carriage

TRUE AND STRANGE
Thrilling Experiences by Julian
Hawthorne.
THE JUGGLER AND THE BOY
Sights Seen by Three American Artists Who
Were in India not Long Since
The Kodaks Work.

lFor THE SUNDAY Neutrality-suspicious.
The proverb "Yield an inch and lose an
ell,' has no better illustration than this
supernatural business. Once admit the
possibility of seeing anything outside of
the physical plane, and there is no logical
hating place for you thenceforth. For the
physical senses are all one; they are modi-
locations or refnements of the sense of
touch. If, then, you can see spirit what
is TO prevent you from also touching it,
hearing it, tasting and smelling it, Nor
does it help much to say that it is your
spiritual eye that is opened. The impress
sion of sight on the mind is the same; and
if of sight, then of the other senses also.
The point is, you perceive something;
whether with the physical or the meta
physical class of pereeptive faculties may
be interesting to philosophers, but the re-
suits to you are practically the same.
Three young American artists found
themselves together in India the other day,
and went to see the performance of an IN
dian luggler. There is no limit to what
these men seem able to do. This juggler's
1oels were simple. He was all but naked,
an open, level place out of doors, surround
ed by crowd of some two hundred people
He spread out his carpet on the ground,
made lamentations over it, it began to move
and act as if something were underneath
and presently out crawled boy. The Jug
gler now appeared to have piece of rope
IN his hand, he coiled and swung it up
wards, it caught in empty space and hung
dangling down to within couple of feet of
the ground. The boy climbed up the rope,
and at a certain height, disappeared The
juggler called up to him, and dialogue
ensued between him and the invisible boy
The invisible boy became saucy, the Jug
gler angry. AT length the juggler climbed
the rope with knife between his teeth and
vanished like the boy, leaving nothing but
the rope dangling down from the infinite.
But, in moment down out of the air fell
one OF the boys legs, cut off close to the
body, then the other leg, the arms, the
body, and finally the head Next reap
peared the murderous juggler, descending
hand under hand. He laid the body and
the several limbs in position, made more in
carnations, covered the body with the car
at the same moment the boy, alive and well,
appeared pushing his way through the
crowd from the outside.
Many have seen, more have heard of this
marvel; it is impossible, of course, and yet
all the audiences see It, The then Ameri-
can artists went step further. Two of
them made rapid sketches of the perform
ance, at successive stages, the other kept
his Kodak camera diligently at work, and
took dozen or more instantaneous mega
uves. They retired TO compare results.
The two sketches had substantially the

The idea l believe is to have the cars linked
together after the manner of the present
vestibule system. The circular form of the
cars will not permit the wind to eddy about
and between them, which of course is a
check to speed. On what we call our lin
tied trains with the number of cars carried
by them, the engines are taxed to their ut
most capacity We must decrease the size
of trains as well as reduce the weight of
cars. This branch of course necessitates
an additional number of trains: yet the
population is not large enough justly TAX
ing such step. Ten years from now things
will be different
"Now as to the engines, Mr.. Depew Do
you believe electricity will supersede steam
as means of propelling cars!'
"Ah, that is very difficult question to
answer. While it would not surprise me
to see electricity rushing our railroad trains
along at the rate of fifty or sixty miles an
hour, | recognize there must be more great
secrets of the mystic power revealed be-
fore we accept it. When we can get cleo
tricity cheap enough that we can produce
1t as we go at the same cost as we now gen
crate steam, we can talk about electricity
as motive power. Many railroad men are
of the opinion that the steam locomotive as
means of propelling cars, is doomed They
say its use involves too great waste, and
that electricity is already successfully en-
pIoyed for the propulsion of street and sub
urban cars. That is all well enough and I
glory in the inventiveness of our Ameri-
cans, but electricity will need to be iuggled
a great deal more before we car run a
through express train to Chicago with it
"What is the finest and fastest engine
now running in the country?"
"We have new engine on our run from
this city to Chicago that is splendid ma
chine. She can make sixty miles and even
seventy miles an hour without strain.
She carries an extra long fire box. 1t is
now eight feet. The old style was six feet

WE HAVE

Her boiler is four inches larger, which en-
ables her to generate steam more freely,
and her cylinder measures 1924 inches
The old was 1924 inches. The weight on
the driving wheels is eighty thousand
pounds and the total weight of the machine
is 104, 200 pounds. L believe our driving
wheels must be made larger, and while re
ducing the weight of the cars to make fast
time, we must have heavy engines.
II have been on our trains where the
rate OF speed was eighty miles an hour.
For instance, in 1885 [ made the run from
Buffalo to Rochester at the rate OF eighty
miles an hour. On November 16, 1885, a
special train carried MIR. Cornelius Wander
bilt on the Canada Southern from st. Clair
Junction to Windsor, distance OF 10Y
miles, in one hour and thirty-three minutes.
The average rate of speed was sixty nine
miles per hour, although at some points 1t
was seventy eight miles per hour. There
were but two cars in the train. Another
fast train was run on the West Shore road
from Buffalo to Weehawken on July 9, 1885,
distance of four hundred and twenty-five
and SiX-tenths miles, in nine hours and
twenty three minutes. The average rate
of speed of that train was ia miles per
hour
Mr.. Buchanan has under consideration q
new device for increasing the speed of our
latest engine, which can already make
eighty miles an hour if forced. This new
idea l have not yet examined very carefully
but it strikes me as being practicable. Ii
is no more nor less than steel plate cover
ing for the engine, reaching to the tender
with openings for oiling the machine. The
covering could be raised and lowered at
will. In fact it is shaped like ships bow
and retreats in like manner. 1t would,
Mr. Buchanan says, cut through the atmos-
phere at the rate of ninety miles an hour il
it had the proper backing of steam. He be
lieves by this device at least ten miles an
hour can be saved. The currents of all
would be thrown off instead of eddyine
around the machinery and cab and thus re
tarding progress A series of pipes might
be utilized for oiling the machine at stop
ping points. There is one thing about thi:
device, it will set people to thinking, and il
