Colonel and Abide Camp on the staff of
General John A. Suffer, the commission
being signed by Governor Bigler. Mr..
Moulder laughingly remarked as he ex-
amined it that in those days General SUIT
Ter and his staff, which was a large one,
constituted about all there was of the cit
lzen soldiery of California, and to see
that staff turn out on special occasions,
with General Suffer at its head, and all
glittering in gold lace, epaulets, bullion,
plumes and military trappings would
make the guardsmen of this day turn
pale with envy. Colonel Moulder while
in the city was the guest Of the local
Secretaries of the section.
Z. NJ. Smith of Coloma, custodian of
the Marshall Monument and owner of a
large collection of California historical
relics, visited the section on Saturday.
Mr.. Smith contributed the most of the
Marshall and early mining relics shown
In the department of "Gold Discovery"
One of the most interesting sections is
that OF the National Guard OF California,
made by Adjutant- General Allen in be-
half of the State. Among it's treasures are
the flags of the California Hundred"
the first troops California sent to the war;
December, 1862; battle flags of California
commands in the war; early muster rolls;
early and late examples ofarms-infantry
cavalry and artillery; fine collection OF
historic military pictures; examples OF
field tents; guns used by California
volunteers in the war of the rebellion.
One of the especially interesting eX-
hlbits in the fair is that of the State
Museum and Mining Bureau, by William
lrelan, Jr., State Mineralogist 1t occu-
pies the large central section of the art
gallery, and contains exhibits in such
number and variety and of such in
terest as may well engage one an entire
AFTERNOON IN close examination.
ORGANIZED LABOR.
Under this title the Federated Trades
of Sacramento, make the most spectacular
exhibit there is in the State Fair. 1t is
intended to represent an era in the his
torical progress of the State and therefore
claims place in the Historical Section.
1t consists of four handsome pillars,
rising 10 feet and forming square. From
the capitals of the pillars spring arches
nearly three feet deep, closing by their
span each side. Between these four is
groined ceiling beneath roof supporting
an enormous globe sixteen feet in diam
eter, upon which is painted the map of the
world bearing the motto, Labor Omnia
Vincit'-labor conquers all. From the
globe rises flag staff, the apex OF which
bears the stars and stripes.
From the floor to flagstaff cap it is some
60 feet. Upon the faces of the arches are
the words, Federated Trades" In the tour
panels of each pillar are neatly painted
cards filled with statistical statements re-
iatlng to labor, its organization. the work
OF unions, etc,
Surmounting each union of the arches
1s an allegorical figure in wax, represent
Ing art, literature, industry, music. AT
their feet are grouped American flags
that spring out in many directions; palm
Aeaves, and graceful drapery comp. eoe
the chaste and not over-done decoration.
Upon the floor of this temple of labor is
pedestal upon which are piled copies of
all the school books of the State issued
under the new and independent system,
and which the Federated Trades has
crowned by a huge volume labeled,
knowledge Is Power" and between
the pillars, on the neatly carpeted floor,
are articles and tools grouped, represent
ing agriculture, mining, woodcraft, me-
chanics; with the pIow, gold quartz, ak
and log and hammer and anvil.
Every half hour, for ten minutes at
time, each evening, a farmer stands at
the pillow, prospector examines the ore
with his glass, woodman grasps his ak
and blacksmith stands sledge in hand
at his anvil. The gentlemen who represent
these figures are SO immovable and SO
completely fill the ideal Of the represen-
tations that one who does not see them
come and go might well believe them to
be wax figures. Their names are J. II.
Cooley, agriculture; j. Hogan, mining:
William Gore, forestry, and William
Fritz, blacksmithing.
This temple is by all odds the most
striking and graceful spectacular effect in
commanding structure in the great build
