A PARLOR.S BANNER.

1t Was Seized and Held on Demand for
Hall Rent.
II was not all plain sailing with the Ma
tive Sons while they were here. mum Der
of little incidents more or less unpleas-
ant having occurred. Among them was
q dispute between +. S. Smith and FL
Dorado Parlor of San Francisco about the
rental of Smiths hall, where the parlor
had its headquarters.
The meInb bers say they rented the hall
for $50, but that Smith had allowed other
persons to use it in the meantime, but
they had demanded no reduction. The
parlor used the nall on Friday night,
however, by permission of the Foresters,
who had engaged it for that night, and
Smith wanted them to pay $40 extra Tor
il, which they properly refused TO do.
Finding FL Dorado Parlor's costly ban
ner boxed on the sidewalk awaiting ship
ment home, Smith took possession of it
and mad it carried into his stable, whore
he Is holding il as a sort of hostage for the
payment OF his demand for $40 tor the use
of his hall.
The members of the parlor, which has
thousands of dollars in its treasury, are
very indignant over the affair, and it is
said suit will be commenced against
Smith to-day.
Another very annoying thing is the
fact that the joint committee of the local
parlors, who contracted Tor rooms. which
Native Sons had applied for, to the ex-
tent of some $1,000, got no money for
them because the Natives did not occupy
them. Those that came on Saturday and
Sunday-or the most OF them-did not
go to bed for couple of nights and then
left for their homes.
The committee is ''in hole'' unless the
owners OF the rooms should see lit to not
enforce their contracts.

THE NEW SACRAMENTO.
What the San Francisco "Post'' Says
of II,

w nat the san francisco ''IOsC>> says
of II.
lSan Francisco Post, September 11th.l
The electrical display at Sacramento on
Monday evening possessed a deeper sig
nificance for the people of that city and
the State at large than appears in the de-
scriptions which have accompanied it in
the newspapers. The interesting fact is
that the power which produced the gor-
geous Illuminating effects was generated
by water at Folsom, twenty-five miles
distant. In stating this fact two other
important facts are implied-frst. that
Sacramento has obtained the power to
move machinery from a distant point,
and, second, that she has obtained it at
cost far below the cost of producing the
same power by heat.
All this leads to the conclusion that in
a very short period Sacramento is going
to become an important manufacturing
center. She is undoubtedly in cost of
power now far below the Eastern manu-
facturers. Moreover, 1t is quite certain
to remain so, for improvements IN cleo
trical machinery will always be as avail
able for the Folsom water as for the water
in any other town.
Under such conditions it would seem
that during the next ten years the Capital
City ought to become town of factories,
with thousands of busy artisans to pay
its taxes and improve its streets and pub
lie buildings. There is but one thing for
its citizens now to do-make the electrical
power generated at Folsom available for
all capitalists who may wish to use it on
equal terms.
