THE INVADING ENDEAVORERS
FIFTY-FOUR TRAINS NOW ON
THE WAY TO THE COAST.
"a Little Hitch in the Stop-over
Proposition, but It May
Il Be Overcome.

The wires inform us that ffty-four
trains are now heading toward the Col
oen State. They are from the Sunrise
state, the Bay State. from the Granite
State, the Green Mountain State, from
the Nutmeg State, Little Rhody," from
the Lone Star State and every State in
the Union.
Most of these trains will probably stop
at Sacramento on the 9th of July and
7th. People should show by their pres
e1tce at the depot that they are interest
ed in the great society that will come TO
our State. Most generously the busi-
ness men are responding on the finan-
cial needs, as they always do.
The Reception Committee, under the
leadership of A. c. Herrick, with the as
sistance of the Secretary of the Young
Mems Christian Association and a hum
dred or more volunteers, will do all they
can. But what can a few do when thou
sands will be at the depot about the
same time?
Will not our citizens make a special
effort to go and welcome the incoming
trains? Let the strangers receive such
a welcome from Sacramento's thou
sands that we shall be second only to
San Francisco Let the Capital City
have no cause of regret or shame.
Fruits and flowers will be most CRATE
fully received on Tuesday morning next
at the headquarters of the Reception
Committee at the depot.
There was much disappointment in
Christian Endeavor circles yesterday
when it was announced that there
would be so many people and so many
special trains that it would be i'm
possible to carry out the original plans
to hold the trains here. But as the day
passed the disappointment wore away,
and last evening there was little trace
of the feeling of the morning.
The first impulse of the committee
was to abandon the publication of a
souvenir, as the subscriptions for II
We're largely made on the understand
ing that the people were to stop here on
their way out, but after reflection 1t
was believed to be more important now
to issue the souvenir than before in
order that the visitors might be in
duced to return by way of Sacramento
and give US a call at a more convenient
time, and to-day the subscribers will
be asked to ratify this conclusion.
Late last evening word was received
lHat j. Wills DdeI' 1eLI0Ae al '7OOA te'i

deavor, would pass through here on
Saturday, and it is expected that there
Will be a large delegation of Sacra-
mentO members at the depot to bid him

The Default Judgment Against j
w. Heating Rescinded.

In the Police Court yesterday Elwood
Bruner appeared on behalf of J. w.
Heating, who was found guilty on Tues
day of retailing liquor without a license.
Mr.. Heating had failed to appear, and
judgment was entered by default
Mr.. Bruner appeared and asked to
have the verdict and sentence whereby
default for non-appearance was entered
set aside on the ground that H. w.
Johnson, while not really employed by
the defendant had tacitly acted in that
capacity, and Keating supposed Mr..
Johnson would appear for him.
Mr.. Bruner explained that Keating
had no intention of avoiding trial, and
Justice Davis, taking similar view of
the situation, set aside the judgment.
The case will come on for trail Saturday

To Prevent n Cold.

A cold, as nearly every intelligent per-
ION knows, is the result of stoppage
somewhere of froe circulation of the blood,
30 which or1 IL iirst sensitive through "a
feeling OF chill. so slight is the chill often
times that not until the preliminary sneeze
comes is the victim aware he or she has
been in the track of n draft or that the
temperature has changed. The usual no.
ton is that by going indoors, changing TO
heavier clothing or rctreating from the
moist atmosphere the danger is averted.
These precautions arc all well enough
bat the first and most e.licacious measure
should be 10 restore the quick flow of warm
blood through every vein and so by heat
instantly countcract the little chill. One,
and perhaps the simplest method Of do
ing this has been learned by men who
stand on sentinel duty, who are obliged TO
suffer more or less exposure i'm winter or
who scorn the comforts in cold weather Of
ovorshoes, overooat and umbrella
Their method is, when the temperature
Of the body or cxtremitics is lowered, or
sudden chill or quick change from warm
TO cold atmosphere is endured, To inhalc
throe or four deep brcaths, expand the
lungs TO their fullest extent, holding every
time the inhaled air as long as possible,
and then slowly letting it forth through the
noStrils. In doing this the imitation of the
lungs sets the heart into such quick mo-
tion that the blood is driven with unusual
force along its channels and so runs out
into the tiniest veins This radiates glow
down to the toes and finger tips and ;,
up quick reaction against the chill In
short, the whole effect Is To stir the blood
and set IL In motion as from rapid exercise.
Let the maxim of victim 10 colds be
always; Keep the blood in rapid action;
use the deop held brcaths where first chill
Is felt, but IL the system has been attacked
and seems about TO yield 10 the cold try
other simple homo remedies 20 exercise
the demon. Philadelphia Ledger.

ELEVATORS CARRY MILLIONS.
alore Than Forty Thousand Passengers
Each Hour In Thirty Buildings.

An estimate of tho number of persons
carried by elevators in New York busi-
ness houses is purely matter of conjec-
ture. one OF the members of large firm
engaged in the manufacture OF elevators
gave his estimate that 600, 900 passengers
are carried daily in about 30 Of the sky
scraping buildings alone. Another person
connected with the same firm said that
this estimate should be doubled 10 be cor
rect.
1t is difficult TO keep n record of the per-
sons using elevators In the case of the
elevated railroads, surface roads and other
common carriers, tho tickets or money
collected can be used rs means OF obtain
ing statistics but nothing of this kind Is
possible with the elevators, which arc pat
roni2ed daily by thousands of persons who
pay nxhing for the privilege.
IL is estimated that in the average build
ing using several elevators trips are made
about every minute and half. One large
retail store In Sixth avenue has 32 eleva-
tors Many of the buildings have eight
and ten, and the number in other build
ings varies from one to six. Taking 30
buildings with six elevators. each carrying
six passengers per trip, 1t will be seen that
in one hour $4,000 passengers would be
tdIIitu' III lNc Dusg nptfs -lO,uDo DstS.cI-
gers would represent the number of per-
SONS carried i'm only 80 buildings. From
this IL may be seen that with thousands Of
elevators in use In Now York the figures
are enormous In 1887 IL was estimated
that 10, 600 persons were carried In one
day by the two elevators in tho Potter
building.
In the clearing house $50 passengers
patronize the elevator regularly between
12 and l o'clock. Tho New York Life
building has eight elevators In operation,
and 1t Is reported that each elevator car
rics 1000 passengers each day. In tho
Mutual Reserve building 3, 600 passengers
are carried daily. The Postal Telegraph
building elevators average 9, 700 hours
work per month. A low estimate of the
number Of passengers carried may be put
at 300 passengers per hour, equal 20 Sl0.-
900 persons in one month. When il is re-
membercd that this represents the service
in one building, 10 will be seen that tho
amount OF work done by elevators is vast

COURT TESTERS OF ENGLAND.
The Motley That Was Indeed Profitable
Uniform In the Oiden Days.

Uniform In the Oiden Days.
"The Court Testers of England" is tho
iitle OF an article by Amelia Wofford that
appears in st. Nicholas. The author
says
The kings and queens of England for
long time, In common with many OF their
subjects, kept men whose busiccss it was
10 amuse them. These men were tho
SQUIRT fools or testers, and were either
half witted persons, called natural
iOols, or really bright men with the gift Of
Hng;ng humorous songs, telling laughter
provoking stories and making witty
sprrnss, called testers or artificial" fools.
That he must make merry at the kings
bidding, be the jester sad or gay, was the
only flaw in the testers life. As he was a
man of talent and often of education he
was his royal masters companion. He
was the recipient of frequent gifts, and,
though of humble birth, he could speak TO
she king as not even the son of hundred
.arls dared. Harry was Will Sommer's
familiar way Of addressing King Henry
VIII. Scogan made Edward " the vic
tim Of his practical jokes, and Tarleton
told Queen Elizabeth more of her faults
than did most of her chaplans.
Yellow was the fools tue color. His
coat was motley or partly colored, some
times decorated with bells at the skirt and
elbows and confined at the waist in belt
or girdle, from which hung a large purse
or wallet 10 receive the reward some happy
jest or "merrie gambol' might bring
forth. His breeohcs and hose were tight,
each leg being of different color. His
headgear might be round bat smartened
by a long, curling feather, and the poet
makes one of them say:
BY my troth, tho thing that desire most
Is in my cappe TO have goodly feather.
Some wore high peaked cap like that
worn Ivy our clowns, or "A monks cowl
winged with ass ears, or terminating in
the comb of cock, from which fashion
comes our word coxcomb, meaning a
twain, snowy fellow"
The fools official scepter, called his
"bauble was short stick finished at
the upper end with the figure of FOOLS
head, puppet or an inflated bladder,
sometimes containing sand or dried peas.
With this be would playfully belabor those
that displcnsed him or startlo " "inadvertent
neighbors" by a clap from it. But, alas,
IL was sometimes used TO chastise the fool
himself when malapcrt.
Another dress that was also common in
Shakespeare time was the long tunic or
petticoat. This was originally worn by
the natural fool and was composed of
shCepskin, but 10 was aftcrward adopted
by the artificial" fool and made of some
rich material.
