that broad and generous beneyol ence
that would take large tracts of lands,
and eXpend almost untold treasures of
time, ability and money to develop
this, the choicest residence sub
urb of San Francisco, is most won
derful. But it has been done, and we
know that thousands are longing for
such homes of health and comfort,
homes amid the constant cOmpaniOnShip
of sunshine, fruit and flowers, and 1 wish
to tell them of this wonderful little val
ley, where the whole year is one spend
thrift prOfusiOn of grace and beauty,
strength and consolation. Many may
reasonably suppose that such advan-
tages must command very high values,
and that it would be difficult or impoS-
Sible for the man of moderate means to
avail himself of them. And, doubtless,
the time is not far off when property in
Magnolia valley cannot be easily OBJ
tanned for love or money. But FORUM
ately large tracts of land can still
be obtained by the right kind of people
upon terms and values that are, for the
present, at least, within the reach of
people with moderate means. AT the
same time, the man with princely re-
sources and princely tastes, will easily
find here rich opportunity for the ex-
penditure of all he chooses to use, in
creating a little paradise for himself
upon earth. He may bring from all
portions OF the earth eXotics and strange
beautiful trees, shrubs and plants,
and be assured that they will
accept this. the botanic center
of the Pacific coast, as a
home so congenial that it seems like the
returning of an old habitat. He may
bring here vines from Mexico, from
Peru, from the islands of the sea, and
they may climb over countless varieties
of foreign and native trees, and hang in
bright festoons above the marvellous
bloom of Chilean and Cape of Good
Hope bulbs. Artistic Judgment, may
combine Alpine plants OF Switzerland,
the Caucasus, the Pyrenees, the Grecian
cliffs, the Himalayan heights, the
Mexican COrdilieras or the Bolivian
Andes. The most valuable ex-
otics, that in many countries
can be raised only in costly
green houses, with the utmost care and
trouble, and then only obtaining feeble
and impoverished condition, will grow

changed the whole appearance of Mag
nOlia valley like enchantment. On the
side of that grand old mountain, Tam
alpais, is one of the most beautiful
sheets of water Imaginable, clear as
crystal, with surface as smooth as a
mirror. There are bays and inlets,
capes and promOntories, and wooded
groves and shaded dells near by. One
might easily suppose that this was
some favored pleasure resort, and
indeed If has largely become so
for rowing. fishing, and picnic eX-
cursions, Here are fish-breeding estab-
lishments and other points of interest.
But this fine body of water is not a matt
ural lake, but is made by dam thrown
across the valley at a narrow place, sub
merging more than twenty-five acres of
land, and collecting an enormous supply
of water. This water is pure, clear,
mountain water, and is distributed in
ample quantities throughout Magnolia
valley. Nesting among the hills which
rise grandly upon every side, save
one, their tree-clad slopes form
Il barrier against the fog and
wind. and insure to the inhabitants OF
Magnolia valley an everlasting summer,
possessed of all the charms of the
tropics, without its enervating heat.

tiuenceS found here, form a striking
contrast with the characteristics of
many celebrated places, whose benefi-
cial effects are limited to certain sea-
sons of the year. Elsewhere. nature
seems to rob large portion of the year,
that she may shower her choicest gifts
upon some favored month or season;
but in Magnolia valley is found Decem-
ber'S yigor, with the gentle grace OF the
sweetest day in May, from years end to
years end. And the great mountains
and general topography of the country
have given Magnolia valley a climate
totally different from localities near at
hand, climate eXcelling the most IA
vOred portions of Italy and France.
1t is no wonder that men of Xperi-
ence and keen discernment who have
travelled all over this broad land and
are familiar with foreign countries,
should have come to the settled conclu-
sion that here is one of the most de-
lightful places in the world for home.

and foresight, there should have been

point is several miles distant, so Charlie
and Marie elect to go on horseback.
Perhaps out of consideration for Mrs.
Pilgrim and myself, who are j0cularly
supposed to be enjoying our honey
moon yet, even though ten years OF
married life have been passed in each
others company. Or perhaps because
on horseback they have facilities for Sc
cluSion along the shady roads, which
are best appreciated by young people,
and which could not be enjoyed if they
shared the vehicle in which we more
Sedate people prefer to ride. Together
we ride along the beauteouS ave-
nue., of which we never tire,
catching occasional glimpses as the
vista opens of the villages
below, until the1limits of the park are
reached. L would like to make you
feel something of the charm which this
park, and indeed the entire valley, has
cast upon us. In travels which have
extended pretty nearly all over the
world, | don't remember to have seen
anything which eXcelS it in beauty.
And yet it owes as much to man as to
nature. Perhaps you may have noticed
some months ago that the
New York Sun claimed to have
fund i'll a representative Democratic of
the Pacific coast the man who could
without fail lead the Democratic hosts
to victory as candidate for the preSi-
dency. This man was William Il. Cole
man, one of the wealthieSt men on the
coast, who as '49er cast i'll his fortunes
with the slope and has proSpered ac-
cordingly. His attention was directed
to San Rafael and to the valley which
bears the euphOniOuS name of Mag
nolia.
Many years ago he became convinced
tnat this valley was one of the most
beautiful places on the face of the earth
for home, and, acquiring large inter
estS here, he has spent many years of
careful thought and work, and availed
himself of all the resources that money,
skill and good taste could afford to de-
velOp and helghten the natural advan-
tageS of the valley.
Many tell me they can easily remem-
Der when this beautiful spot was far
from what it is now. Seventeen years
ago, they say, it was almost impos-
sible to realize that this place
was to become the perfect re-

aliZatiOn of all that is beautiful
1t is true that the marvellous PROJECTIONS
of climate to be found here long ago be-
came prOverb, but cut Off by SEEM
ingly almost impossible natural bar
rierS, the few who penetrated here were
unable to see the future, and If they
stayed it was to allow themselves to
sink into lethargy in feeble hamlet,
half Mexican still, utterly Indifferent to
the possibilities that have since become
accomplished facts. But genius and
energy that has left its sign manual
upon Worldwide enterprises, saw in
Magnolia Valley vision of the future.
One of the most Skillful of en-
gineers was entrusted with the
task of a careful and thorough topo-
graphical survey; and the same knowl-
edge and ability that has made Golden
Gate Park, San Francisco, one of the
celebrities of our broad land, has devel
oped the natural resources of this lovely
valley. Neither the more apparent
topography of the ground, nor the car
dinal points of the compass were
allowed to rule this work; but the true
lay of the land, without reference to
the mere direction of the avenues, was
the guiding feature; and the happy
consequences are that there is vast
NdllGIy VI CulNcu anu SlidiSub Illus,
with no uniform mOnOtony, while the
tedious labor and heavy expense of
deep cutting, and filling and costly wall
ing, to attain desirable grades and drain
age, are avoided. The lots occupy the
most desirable situations, upon slightly
elevated sites, and broad avenues of a
hundred feet in width, wind about the
gentle slopes, from which one can look
up at, instead of down upon the resi-
denceS, and the natural beauty is pre-
served, nature herself, i'll such cases,
being the best engineer. Many of these
places have already been snapped up
most eagerly by the clear-headed bust
ness men of San Francisco, because the
proximity to San Francisco, the advant-
age of speedy accommodation, the
loyelinSSS and healthfulneSS of the park,
! and a thousand and one other consider
atiOnS, have made it most attractive
place for family residences, especially
when children are to be reared and edu-
Gated.

in Magnolia Valley freely, and bloom
luxuriOusly in open air. The man of
moderate means can get here small
tract, having his choice from a hundred
feet square, up to hundreds of acres in
extent. and may easily create a home
that shall give him all the sweetest,
best and most healthful gifts of life and
strength. And upon every side he will
be continually astOnished by an untold
wealth of natural treasure, and
bOundlesS resource Of climate and
the great body of the hills, is eXhaus-
tibly rich with just those stores of nat
ural food needed for the best develop
ment of forest and ornamental trees.
This sub-sOil, with rich loan surface
properly treated, gives most wonderful
vitality to the great vineyards and
fruit farms, and it goes without saying
that fruits reach here the highest pos
Sible state Of perfection with but cOmpar-
atively little care. Think of great pear
trees towering ten and fifteen feet above
the tops of twO-stOry buildings, pear
trees eighty-five years old, dating from
the time of the early Padres, but
heavily laden to-day with beautiful
fruit.
Visitors may drive, If they will, for a
hundred miles over well kept roads,
broad and shaded, and never weary of
the endless vista of mountain and
ocean scenery. They may ride by easy
ascent to the top of Mount Tamalpias,
the road winding through canyons, by
lovely streams of mountain water,
through the cathedral-like light of still
redwood forests, through groves of
beautiful foreign trees, by lovely
meadows, and see spread before them
the broad waters of the Pacific, with
far away islands lying dim and gray in
the distance; may see the entire surface
of San Francisco bay, with many towns,
cities and villages lying spread in one
view.
But in my enthusiasm I am afraid
am wearying you. They say the con-
vert is always more ardent than the

The Queen of Tramps.
New York Herald.

New YORK Herald.
The Queen of Tramps was guest at
the Hoboken police station Thursday
night. This remarkable woman, now
in her seventy-fifth year, is Sarah
DOugherty. She was born in London
derry in 1914, and emigrated to this
country in 1910. Immediately after her
arrival she began her nOmadic life, and
has visited every section of this cOun-
try and witnessed all the important
celebrations. She has seen all the
presidents from Pierce to Cleveland
inaugurated.
During the war she was close to the
scene of the big battles, and was one of
the first women to reach the capital of
the Southern Confederacy after the
surrender of Lee. During the Centen-
NAL celebration she was in Philadelphia,
and when Custer fell was close to the
spot where he was ambushed and killed.
She is not an educated woman, but
has retentive memory and is rhym-
Ster. She wrote poem touching the
death of Custer and recites it with con-
siderable dramatic power. She delights
to tell of the leading events in the his
tory of the country during the last
thirty years, and with pOnderOus par
ticularity details the prominent attrac-
States and the many interesting cele-
brations that have taken place in the
large cities at which she was present.
She has studied the Bible, and has
several odd conundrums to PROFOUND to
ministers Of the gospel. She is fond of
children. and expends her few pennies
in purchasing candy for the little ones,
while she goes hungry.
The queen of tramps is vigorous. and
her long siege of exposure and suffering
has left few marks on her despite her
advanced age. She left the police sta
ton and the board that had served her
as bed as refreshed and cOntented as
if she had occupied luxuriOusly ap-
pointed room in a hotel. She moved
quickly down Newark street toward the
ferry, remarking that she wanted to

How the Minority Rules.
Congressman Springer in the Forum.

There may be 10000 voters in con-
gressional district. A thousand of
these may be interested ina protected
industry. Political parties are nearly
evenly divided. The voters employed
in protected industries frequently hold
the balance of power. Candidates for
congress are admOnished that unless
they pledge themselves to sustain the
protective tariffs. they will lose the
votes of those engaged in such indus
tries. 1t frequently happens that the
candidates of both parties are therefore
pledged to maintain protective taxation.
Thus, the minority may continually
rule the majority through the law
making power.
