FOR THE DRESS REHEARSAL. !"
SaCramento's Worlds Fair Exhibit viii
Probably Be There.
The Supervisors Donate $3.50 and the
Balance VIII be Made Up
by Subscription,

An energetic movement is now on foot
to have Sacramento County represented
at the coming Worlds Fair Dress Re-
hearsal" at San Francisco further than by
a citrus exhibit alone.
The success of Sacramento Countv's
Worlds Fair display at the recent State
Fair has aroused the committee which got
up that exhibit, and they are now anxious
for more worlds to conquer, so to speak
Supervisor Greer, who was one of the
prime movers in getting up this county's
exhibit, told a RECoRD-UNIoN reporter
yesterday that the only obstacle in the
way of sending the magnificent display
to San Francisco prior TO its journey to
Chicago was the lack of funds. "We
have plenty of Worlds Fair money!"
he said, but you know that can
not be used for anything but Worlds
Fair purposes. You will remember
that when we exhibited the display
at the State + air we had to get a special
donation from the county, and the com
mlttee and exhibitors got nothing for the
enormous amount Of work they did in
arranging the handsome booth which
carried the cOlOrs of Sacramento County
to victory. Yes, we have a little money
some $500, | believe-Which the exhibit
captured in premiums, and we stand
ready to devote that toward taking the
exhibit to San Francisco and having il
taken care of there. But we need some
thing like 5000 more. The county might
give us little, but we cannot expect the
whole amount. The only way clear to us
at present is to start a subscription list
among the people and raise the balance
necessary. It's a bad time of year for
collecting, l know, but l think Sacra-
mentans will have enough pride in their
county to donate the money.
Sacramento walked off with the big
prize at the State Fair" continued Mr..
Greer, land there is nothing to prevent
her doing so again at San Francisco. No
other county can beat our exhibit Our
preparing to go to the Bay, and are ex-
ulting over what they consider our non
enterprise. 1t will be the greatest adj
Vertisement our county could receive,
and | think no one should hesitate a mo-
ment about sending down the show.
And beside, if we carry off the pre-
miums. we will be that much ahead in
funds, and may not have to collect the
money that will be guaranteed on the
subscription list.'
Late yesterday afternoon the matter
was laid before the Board OF Supervisors
by the county Worlds Fair Committee.
and the board donated $3.50 toward the
fund to pay the expenses of transporta-
ton and maintaining the exhibit at the
''dress rehearsal" This left about $500
more that is necessary for the purpose,
and the committee Immediately started
out with list for signatures to guarantee
this amount in case the balance is not
made up by premiums won.

RELICS OF CHRISTMAS.
Those Who Had Sad Stories to Tell in
the Police Court.

the Police Court.
In the Police Court yesterday morning
George Lee was found guilty of vagrancy,
and sentenced to SIX months in the County
Jail.
Mr.. Lee was then asked by the Judge
If he could swim. He replied that he
could, but that he did like water much.
"Well," replied Judge Cravens, "you
may have two hours to leave town in, and
you had better swim out, if you can't
make it any other way"
Lee then left the room with business
ike gait and vanished.
john Curtin, who made a big fight for
freedom while being locked up on Tues
day night, was charged with vagrancy.
de pleaded not guilty, and was allowed
until to-day to produce his witnesses.
Dan Cummings, who has been up so
often that Clerk Dunn keeps a rubber
stamp to register him with, was highly
indignant at being arraigned as a COM
mon drunkard. He had summoned two
citizens to testify that they had known
him to be sober, but when Dams wit
nesses took the stand they hesitated. One
OF them wasn't sure whether Dan had
| been drunk ever since last Friday or not,
and the other hadn't seen him, so their
testimony was not very material.
Dan then tried to be fearful, and told
how he heard the jail was full of water.
He had been very anxious about the
place, which is so much like a home for
him, and he went down to see if it was
atloat AS soon as he appeared Jailer
McManus locked him up, and when he
tried to howl the walls down the jaiIer
put him in dark cell and struck him.
His pathetic appeal was so effective that
he got off with tive days this time, in
stead of the six months threatened.
Josie Thomas, who celebrated Christ
mas by getting as drunk as lord, was
arraigned for vagrancy. but she was con-
sidered deserving of leniency, and on
motion of the City Attorney was dis
charged.
Josie was found on Christmas Eve by
Officer Ahern while she was making a
tour of the town regardless of all expense
and propriety. She was minus her hat,
one shoe and stocking, and several other
adornments worn by society ladies, Sc
Ahern took her in out of the mud.

Judge E. D. French had three ribs
on the left side broken. in a runaway
accident last Thursday afternoon. He
was driving his 2O-year old, yet trick
ish and fiery, mare, towards Frank
kenney's fam, but had only reached
the John Cheney place, where some
hogs were being slaughtered. The
mare danced at the unpleasant scream
ing of the hogs, and soon the Judge
found himself holding the reins to an
animal going helter-skelter over a
plowed field. He attempted to slack
Ell tho speed, and in pulling the reins,
by some means lost one of them. and
then steered the animal for straw
stack. The latter remained shy of
this, however. and in going around it,
the buggy struck deep furrow, pro-
ducing an awful spring, and throwing
Judge French several feet in the air.

ward. knocking him unconscious,
breaking three ribs. and bruising his
face in several places The accident
was seen by Mrs. Murray Warner, who
was coming to town in a carriage, and
by the Cheneys, and the Judge did
not remain in that spot over a minute,
ere he was picked up bleeding at the
nose and mouth, placed in Mrs.
Warmers carriage and brought home.
where Drs. Gibson and Pease were
summoned, and dressed his wounds.
The horse. attached to the buggy,
came home, cloud of dust and oc-

arising from the course over which it
sped SO fleetly. The buggy, except a
wheel and one or two other pieces, to-
gether with the horse brought up in
front of Peck's drug store, the animal
nervous and excited and badly cut
about the rear limbs.
