A Prettv Garden Ornament.

A very pretty piece of ornamental gar
dening, not too difficult for beginners,
can be done with an old umbrella or
parasol and some plants of cypress vines,
maurandia, sweet pea or anything that
is not of too aspiring a nature. Such
climbers as the morning glory, canary
bird vine and other twenty footers, are
better left for unsightly fences and build
ings. Plants are better than seed, be-
cause more certain, and they do not take
80 long to catch the knack Of twining
and spreading. Umbrella ribs are not
decorative, and to see such an object
standing there week after week, waiting
for its clothes, does not give people a
pleasant impression of garden.
But first find your umbrella; and this
may not be, so easy, for ''retired" UNI
brellas that are no longer fit for use are
seldom seen. Some member of the fam
lily, however, may be able to produce
one, and then it should be Immediately
stripped of the few tatters left to it.
The next step is to paint the frame and
handle brown, and when quite. dry plant
the end of the handle firmly in the
ground, with the frame fully opened.
If the handle is rather short it will be
an Improvement to add piece of wood
to it.
1t is now ready for the vines, which
should have made some progress in
growing; and when they once begin to
do their best the old umbrella frame
makes such lovely green bower stud
ded with blossoms of red or purple or
white-or all together if the vines are
mixed-that every one exclains over its
beauty.
A parasol with the same treatment is
equally pretty on smaller scale, and it
would be very ornamental in the center
of round bed edged with bright colored
phlox or candytuft. With long spout
ed watering pot the vines could have a
daily drenching in warm weather, when
the sun is not shining on them, from
their roots to their highest green tips,
and this would keep them fresh. .-Har-

The great beauty and profit of he
orange orchards was one OF the leading
causes that led to the recent long con-
tinued rise in land values over so wide
an area in Southern California. 1t was
not all climate, scenery, nor the build
ing of railroads, although these were
factors in the combination, especially
the coming of the great Santa Fe rail-
way; but it was chiefly what the peo-
pie saw when they arrived.
Recall or imagine the transforma-
tion scene, seemingly magical,
which actually occurs to the trav-
eler as he passes from the drifting
SHOWS and biting cold of the north, in
Pullman or tourist car, down among the
beautiful orange groves and into the
perpetual summer of the great San Ber-
nardino and San Gabriel valleys. Stand
ing in an orange grove at Riverside, On
tario, Pomona or Pasadena in Feb
ruary, let the stranger, while medi-
tating on the story he may hear of
the profits of ten-acre orchard,
look, over the landscape and
take in, with the perfume of orange
blossoms, the grandeur of the
scenery, the beautiful valley dotted with
homes, the green hills, the mighty range
OF mountains which acts as a barrier
against the north winds of winter, and
in summer reservoir to store up the
melting SHOWS and send them down to
him to grow these apples of gold in liv-
ing green Amid such surroundings, it
is pleasant thing for the eye to rest
upon the beautiful snow"-at dis
tance, and to see winter perpetual
prisoner on the mountain tops.
A harvest richer than that of gold
awaits those who shall skillfully plant
and cultivate California's IS orchards. They
not only produce wealth but add moral
and physical health. MANY a mis-
chievous city lad could be turned from
downward to an upward course, if he
could have all for his very own, an
orange orchard, his to plant, cultivate
and enjoy the fruit.' No vocation has
in itself more refining and elevating
tendencies. r

South Riverside possesses all the at
fractions of her bigger neighbor, all
though the town is but the growth Of
the other day. She can boast OF the
Vitrified Pipe Works of the California
Clay Manufacturing company. The cul-
tivation of the citrus fruits is pursued
here with the success which has at
tended the like pursuit in Riverside.
The neighborhood of the Temescal tin
mines will contribute to the business
prosperity of South Riverside, and Tenn
escal creek has been made serviceable
for purposes of irrigation.
In reviewing the miracles of growth
in San Bernardino county it would be
an objectionable omission not to give
due prominence to Redlands. This
beautiful and progressive city is really
the creation of the other day--its his
tory not dating back more than four or
five years. The development which has
taken place there began after the wild
Los Angeles herald., 1891-06-10

be assured, but it has a most interest
ing and valuable variety of minerals,
ranging from the tin mines OF Temescal
to the treasure deposits of the Calico
and Orc Grande and half a dozen dis
tricts. Every species ofwealth seems to
be poured out on San Bernardino from
natures rich cornucopia. The million
aires who are already being developed
and who will develop there in the future
have at hand handsome and varie-
gated marble with which to erect the
palaces that will adorn the picturesque
sites which are so numerous all over that
vast expanse of majestic mountain and
lovely valleys.
The growth which has been witnessed
in the San Bernardino valley in the last
two odecades is something really extraord-
mary. The old city OF San Bernardino
the county seat--has lately extended
it's limits, and it now embraces a popula-
ton approaching ten thousand souls.
1t is noted for the richness Of the soil
which surrounds it and rejoices
in the possession OF tho work
shops of the Santa Fe railway.
During the past five or six years spirit
of enterprise has developed in the place
and many fine buildings have been
erected. A beautiful hall of records has
just been finished and the project n
building. large and expensive court
house is being mooted. The city is GER
tain to maintain and increase its solid
prosperity now that its people have en-
listed under the banners OF progress.
Riverside has history of notably
interesting character. The city was laid
out by Judge North some twenty years
ago, and it now contains population Of
upwards Of six thousand souls. 1t has
been extended of late, so that its pres
ent area covers about five Thousand
acres. 1t has every feature Of modern
and progressive city. Its business and
public edifices are of high grade OF ele-
gance and solidity, and many of the pri-
vate residences are absolutely palatial
and surrounded by grounds which are as
ornamental and enlivening as the orange,
lemon and the other subtropical fruits
and flowers can make them. The cele-
brated Magnolia avenue which runs
through Arlington is probably the hand
soonest drive in the United States, and
it is made poetic by double rows Of
the pepper, palm, eucalyptus and other
trees rare in any climate but sub
tropical one, and the whole prospect is
made enchanting by interminable vistas
of orange and lemon groves.

DEVELOPMENTS IN SAN

The "Golden State in eighteen forty-nine
Took name and wealth from gulch and mine;
The streams then washing for grains of gold
Now grow golden grain, of wealth untold,
And luscious fruits on orchards and vines,
Outranking in value her wealth in mines.
'Tis claimed of all fruits of the Golden
West"
In beauty and profit the orange is best:
If, in these pages, true story is told,
The "Blue Ribbon" goes 10 the apples of gold.
OF all the fruits of earth the orange is
queen. It's history is full of poetry, and
its culture in Southern California is full
of profit %N
Whether the beauty of its evergreen
tree, or the fragrance of it's bios
SONS, or the delicious taste of the fruit,
or its apple shape and color of gold, or
all these combined, made it the Hespe-
rian fable in Millions Paradise Lost,
we cannot tell. The orange must have
had poetic side, else its early history
would not have been woven,into the sto-
ries of gods and heroes.

OF the road who have any luggage to

expense of weighing hire q dray to
bring it back to the depot OF course
the railroad company makes no deduc-
ton from tariff rates for its lack of fac
ilities here, but it ought to or else lay
by the money received at this station to
build and equip new depot with.

apparently, as they do not expect to
win. They expect, however, to give
good exhibition of ball playing, as it is
played by the "profesh," for the benefit
of the town, and to gain some further
knowledge in the science. As soon as
the match is arranged the announce
ment will bc made by handbills.

MEXICO'S IRE AROUSED
THE MEXICAN CONSULATE RAIDED
AT U-PRINCE.
Three Refugees Taken Thersfrom and
Shot-A Rumor That Mexican War
ships Will Make it Hot for Hippolyte.

WASHINGTON, June 22.-The Mexican
government has informed Senior Romero
that the Mexican consul at Port-au-
Prince has reported that an armed
force broke into his house un-
der orders of President Hippolyte,
of Hayti, and took four political
refugees, who were Immediately shot.
While it is not true chat President
Diaz, Of Mexico. has authorized, directly
or indirectly, such step, the Mexican
government took the view that con-
suls having under international law
the right of asylum enjoyed by diplo-
matte representatives, no insult has
been made to Mexico bysuch action, al
though this was otherwise hardly ex-
cusable.
ST. LOUIS, June pa dispatch from
the City of Mexico saws: Several days
ago two warships of the Mexican fleet
sailed from Vera Cruz with 400 soldiers
Tor an unknown destination. 1t is be-
lieved they have gone to Hayti, where
! they have been ordered to demand
reparation of Hippolyte for violation of
the Mexican consulate at Port-au-
Prince. The action of the Haytian
president has caused intense indigna-
tion. 1t is stated by the government
that neither one of the warships sailed
for Hayti, but that they have gone to
Huatusco to put down revolt among
the Indians.

LONDON, June 22.-Sir George Baden
Powell, member of parliament, and w.
Dawson, of the Canadian survey depart
ment, have been appointed arbitrators
in the Bering sea conference decided
upon between the government of the
United States and the government of
Great Britain. They will attend the

which, it is expected, will take
place in October next. The Brit
ish members of the board will
meet almost Immediately at Ottawa,
whence they proceed to Vancouver,
B. c., with the intention OF spending
two months on board a man-of-war
cruising in Bering sea, visiting the
Pribyloff islands and all the principal
stations frequented by the sealers. At
the expiration of their cruise it is ex-
pected the British arbiters will be suffi-
GENTLY well acquainted with the details
of the seal hunting business and with
the needs and interests of sealers to be
able to meet the American arbiters as
experts.
The Times today says the appoint
ments will be received with general sat-
isfaction, both in England and Canada.
The Times adds that the American COM
missioneis will doubtless be equally
qualified and the subject will have every
chance of being settled in an honorable
and peaceful manner with full knowl-
edge on both sides.
Ashley Froude, son of the historian,
has been appointed secretary of the
British Bering sea commission.

the Negotiations for Reciprocity with
Canadian Angry Tone Assumed.

OTTAWA, Ont, June 22.-In the sem
ate today additional correspondence on
the reciprocity proposals between Can
ada and the United States was brought
down. This embraced the correspond
ence between Blaine and Pauncefote on
the matter. The first batch ofletters deals
with the preliminary arrangements for
conference. Then comes letter from
Blaine to Pauncefote short time be-
fore their conference, in which he says: ::
''If an agreement is reached, all is well !;
if not, no official mention is to be
made of this effort Above all
things it is important to avoid public
reference to the matter. This the pres
ident will insist on
He continues: "While no notes were
exchanged between us, 1 carefully min
uted my modification of the paper you
left with me containing Lord Salisbury's
propositions, and did SO Immediately
after you left the apartment.'' He adds
as il to impress it, "You viii observe

bly, of the agreement as to the secrecy

SHOOTING AT FRESNO.
Another Fatal Tragedy Almost Enacted.
The Principals Prominent Men.

~--~~-'
SAN Francisco, June 22.-The Chroni-
cle's Fresno special says: Bradley block,
this city, came near being the scene of
another tragedy this afternoon. The
principals were DIR. M. v. Yancey, a
well-known physician of this city, and
Charles Schroeder, proprietor of lodg-
ing house and half owner in
the wholesale liquor firm of
Austin & Schroeder. Yancey fred at
Schroeder four times. Three bullets
took effect, but none of the wounds will
prove fatal. One ball passed through
the fieshy part of his back, and one
through the fieshy part of his abdomen.
The trouble was caused over rent bill.
Yancey had been sued, but subsequently,
offered to pay all the expenses and the
rent up to the first of next month if
allowed to remain. This offer was re-
fused, Yancey claims that Schroeder ap-
preached him with an uplifted chair
and he shot in self-defense, while
Schroeder contends that he was invited
into the doctors Office and was attacked
before he could leave. Yancey is in Jail.
