looking at them and glad to go to bed and
rest when we return home. The following
day is fine, and we visit the Golden Gate
park. | cannot begin to describe the beau
tiful grounds, the statuary, the conserva-
tory, where we see number of bananas in
fruit, one plant of which is fully twenty
feet in height. We have the pleasure (.) OF
seeing runaway horse and buggy here,
and the kids seek refuge behind the statue
of General Garfield until the horse is cor
nered. The driver is thrown violently out,
out with the exception of a severe shaking
up, is all right. The endless number and
varieties of trees, shrubs, flowers,
vines, ETC., to be seen here are
oewildering. We visit the children s
playhouse, see the swings and q
hundred ways of amusing children, in
Guiding an immense rotary whirligig run
by a steam engine An involuntary sigh
escapes me as think how little in this line
is done for Utah's best crop in my own fair
mountain home, and more than ever in my
life regret that my financial circumstances
prevent the fu!fillment of longcherished
hopes-a beautiful park, a kindergarten,
with every appliance for making children
happier and consequently better and more
beautiful in soul and body. To see the
laughing faces, sparkling eyes and pearly
teeth, and hear the chatty, ripping music
OF their merry voices-to see them happy
in beauteous bower, truly ''of such is the
kingdom of heaven" God bless and pros
per the man or woman, say |, who gave the
children of San Francisco the 'children's
quarters" of the Golden Gate park Where
are you, wealthy men and women of Salt
Lake with one foot in the grave! Will we
not build monuments to yourselves ere you
are covered with plebian and vulgar grave
yard earths If you don't know how, I'll
show you. A visit to
THE STATE MINING BUREAU
will amply repay anybody who delights in
curious things. 1t is museum well cared
for and contains many valuable articles.
Chief among ancient curiosities is the mum
niied remains from Arizona of a man,
woman and child They are simply dried

Samples of them were exhibited in Salt
Lake several years ago. They differ from
the Egyptian in the fact that the latter
were picked and cured before entombment
This evening at the Baldwin theatre, q
very beautiful place, but not so convenient
as the Salt Lake theatre. Ellis and go or
the cable cars all over the city. I find hin
an excellent guide for he knows the cable
car system thoroughly. He spends hours
and days around the shops. The men are
all kind to him, and the gripmen and others
take pleasure in explaining the working Of
everything. Theoretically he could super
intend the construction of a system. We
pass the houses of millionaires and myraid.

in universal style of architecture tha
becomes monotonous 1t seems as though
about seven-eights of the population live il
rented houses. For few cents we ride
many miles on the up -and-down eight
mile an hour cable cars, the best system
known on earth to-day, and the only prac
tical system far billy cities. Itis as fal
superior to the electric system as that i:
superior to the mules.
