years a member of the firm of Lipman &
Co., and during that time had q fine op-
portunity of studying the wants of the
Sacramento trade, and in starting this
new enterprise has used the knowledge
thus obtained to great advantage, not
| only to the firm, but also TO the Gus
toners.
The new and elegant stock which this
nrm carries was selected 10 especially
suit the demands of the people. Its new
| ness is what interests the public. Purchas-
ers OF dry goods particularly desire that
| the goods should be new and of the latest
| patterns. They do not care for shelf
| worn article, and when purchasing Of
| this firm they are perfectly safe in this
regard. There is not an article on sale
there that is not direct from tho whole
sale houses, and selected with a view to
| aid the company by which it is sold in
building up business.
Another point about this firm that
works to the interest of purchasers is the
| fact that they are doing business on a
new and original plan based on selling
the largest amount of goods at the lowest
rate of expense. This plan has greatly
aided the firm in fixing prices on dry
goods away below that for which they
have been sold heretofore.
Every department OF this store is COM
plete New goods are arriving daily to
take the place of those sold. During the
past week the sales of this company have
been enormous, but the manager was
equal TO the emergency and has replen-
ished the stock as fast as it was disposed
of. One thing that in way helped to
draw this business was the fact that every
day special drives have been placed upon
the counters, and they have been of such
| desirable articles that they were quickly
sought.
Mr.. Wieger has made special and sue
| cessful effort in the cloak department to
| furnish tho finest assortment in Sacra-
! mento. Here will be found upward of
sixty styles in walking jackets, wraps,
capes, ETC., ranging in price from 81 to $40
! AS fur trimmings are becoming quite
popular, special line of these goods are
carried. These cloaks should be carefully
examined by the ladies' who want cheap
but durable and stylish cloak.
All those who have not already called
at the establishment of this company
should do so at once. They will receive a
most courteous treatment even if they do
not wish to purchase, and if desiring any,
thing in the line of dry goods their wants
can be easily satisfied out of the new and
| elegant stock.

longing to them exclusively, causes them
to lose their domesticity more than sew
ing or teaching does. Neither do [ be-
lieve that men are less chivalric to women
employed as clerks, for example, than to
those employed as domestics in families.
] am in favor of girls learning all kinds
of housework, and when they have homes
and parents, it is very easy for them to
do so. But when a young girl is so un-
fortunate as to be obliged to 90 forth into
the world to be her own bread winner,n
II there is something she prefers to house,
work think she should have the right to
follow the occupation which is most con-
genial to her.
It is deplerable fact that women are
compelled to submit to the injustice of
receiving less wages for the same amount
OF work than men are paid Such work
as bookkeeping, telegraphy, type writ
ing, ETC., can be performed as well by
women as by men, for not only are the
former fully as intellectual as the latter,
but usually more faithful and painstak-
ing.
Would that some lady Tor perhaps some
gentleman would have more effect,
would write lecture in "Everybody's
Column to the young men, urging them
to a higher standard of manhood. 1t is
sad indeed to see young men, who, with
pallid faces and attenuated features-the
result of cigarette smoking, and perhaps
of opium-listlessly walk the streets
seemingly without ambition or aim in
life.
Now, Mr.. Editor, allow me to ask what
refined and ambitious lady would be
willing to unite herself in marriage with
one of the above type. Better any kind
of labor, even to the slavery in the fac
tories, than the miserable existence
caused by such marriage.
Let the men guide the Ship of State /

Fine One.

The County Exhibit is an Unusually
Fine One.
"What pity that Sacramento County
is not competing for prize!"
It's remark that is frequently heard
at the Pavilion. Sacramento County has
without doubt this year one of the finest
exhibits ever seen. 1t is both large and
varied, and the arrangement is superb.
Ex-Sheriff George G. McMullen is in
charge of the exhibit, and takes great
pains to tell visitors all about it, where
the ranches are located whence comes the
articles exhibited, etc.
The exhibit occupied the conservatory
niche at the northwestern end of the Pa
vilion. 1t sets apart from the other
county exhibits, and is without doubt the
best one there. But Sacramento County
is not entered for the premium, having
held aloof, so as to encourage other coun-
ties to enter.
The arrangement of the products is neat
and attractive. The semi-circular wall is
lined with shelves, which are literally
loaded down with fruits, vegetables,
jellies, melons, and the like. Above
these is a long row of grain sheaves, tufts
of pampas grass, photographs and drap-
ings of bunting. Standing out from the
wall are several large tables and glass
with fruit, freshly picked and preserved
in jars. The showcases contain samples
Of embroidering, crochet work and other
fancy needle work The exhibitors of
this work are all ladies, principal among
whom are Mrs. j. p. Odbert, Mrs. J. NJ.
Davies, Mrs. a. NJ. Plummer and Mrs.
Stanton Myers.
Mrs. Odbert also has on exhibition a
fine collection of ornamental grasses, q
petritied oyster and other curiosities. She
also has large exhibit of fresh fruit, and
in jars, and dried fruit, nuts, etc. She
and Mr.. Odbert are two ofthe largest con-
tributorS to the exhibit.
Other notable contributors are as fol-
lows: Mrs. Davis, lemons; p. Stanton,
jellies and fruit; 4. Greer, Susquehanna
peaches in jars; n. Clark, Early Craw-
ford peaches in jars; Mr.. Kelly, peaches
and plums; Cutter Bros, peaches; NJ. NJ.

etc; l.. B. Aiken, ripe figs; A. +. Jones,
Washington Navels and seeding oranges;
J. IL. Hamilton, egg gourds, long green
cucumbers, Smyrna figs, purple figs,
peaches fresh and in jarsl and other
fruit; George G. McMullen, Buerre Clair
geau pears; D. Lufkin of Freeport, apples
in jars; p. Green of CORTLAND, peaches
in jars; Mrs. j. Moore of Freeport,
peaches in jars; r. A. Easton, Sterling

oil and growing olives; r. NJ. Plummer,
G. A. Hull, Charles Studarus and John
Eeith, grain, melons and vegetables; the
w. Il. Strong Company, fruit, vegetables,
nuts, Jellies, preserves, etc.
The contribution of the w. r. Strong
Company is the most extensive in the
exhibit and is one of the finest collections
at the fair. Nuts, dried fruits, jellies,
preserves and fresh fruit are shown in
abundance and in great variety.

Some Exciting Trotting and Pacing
Contests on Saturday.
The large crowd of spectators that at
tended the races on Saturday got the
worth Of their money. 1t was half-past
o'clock, and the shades of night were
settling down over the city and sur
rounding country when the judges called
halt on the unfinished pacing race.
The weather was delightful, and the
track in a condition fit for any'horse to
go for a record. Signor Liberati and the
First Artillery Band filed in the "waits''
with their charming music, and all the
conditions were perfect for day of unal-
ioyed sport. II was marred only by an
accident TO the small stand near the sta
bles, by which several persons were in

leading at the quarter, Don Tomas sec
ond, Mary Lou third, Lizzie fourth and
Wilkes last. From there TO the half Tomas
improved his position, the others all

postponed from Saturday, will take place.
Coming Features.
Tomorrow (Tuesday) there will be an
other grand parade of livestock, COM
mencing at 10 o'clock In the morning.
This feature of the exhibition should not
be overlooked by any person who feels
an interest in the breeding of fine stock,
Or who likes to look upon the best speci-
mems Of horse-hesh and cattle.
STALLION WALKING MATCH.
Immediately after the stock parade to-
morrow there willS be a walking contest
between draft stations. One of the chief
points of value in a draft horse is his
ability to walk FAST and contests of this
kind are of deep interest to breeders OF
that class of stock.
ATHLETIC EXHIBITION.
An exhibition will be given by the
Sacramento Athletic Club on Tuesday
evening in the playground at the Pavil-
ion. 1t will consist of various interesting
features, such as tumbling, boxing, juve-

EDS. RECORD UNION: noticed in your
paper few days ago an offer of lot to
anyone who would come here and
locate a mandatory. Now, don't GEN
eral MARITIME know that he was ONLY
talking when he made this offer? Does
he think for moment that any firm or
body of moneyed men would think of
coming here and investing their money
While we have our present city officials?
Ii he thinks so he is not as bright and
intelligent gentleman as took him to
be. NO, our officials have given this city
q setback that it will take years to re-
cover from. They have given outside
capital to understand that it's not wanted,
and IT were j. H. Henry l would feel
like giving this city to understand that
there were other places that would well
come me. But then it is really not the
people of this city who are opposed to his
coming here; for 1 would venture to say
that II II was put to a vote that three
fourths of the people of Sacramento
would be in favor of granting P street for
his electric road, and | hope he under
stands that this is the sentiment of our
people. But there is time yet. Next
spring there is an election for Trustee.
and If our voters don't turn out as one
man and put in Office an official that will
work for our interest then we should
surely give up all hopes of ever being
free from the influence of the moneyed
power and bossism under which we are
now so sorely oppressed. Now is the
time that we ladies should take a hand
in our city affairs. Woman can do much
toward reforming the evils of our city
affairs If she but takes hand, and / do
hope ere the next city election they will
show themselves at the polls and with
their husbands and brothers as well as
their sweethearts. It's time. How many
will join with me in hisimportant work?

ask the City Trustees what they are going
to do with street.-the graveled portion
Of it-let it go to ruin for want of little
water, or will they require the street
sprinklers to fulfill their contracts and
wet it down?
The street is now graveled from Thirty
first down to Tenth, and the gravel is
dry and loose. In another week the gut
ters will be filled up, and the whole sur
face be cut up and uneven.
Why don't they look after new streets
and have them attended to? What is the
use of people paying to have street gray
eled, and then let it go to ruin? If this

it will pack down and the contour of the
