PLEASURE FOR VISITORS.

The resident of the City becomes so
accustomed to the attractions which sur
round him that their value to him is less
than to the casual visitor. More and more
the charms of San Francisco are being dis
covered by the residents of the interior of
the State, but as many of them are not
familiar with all the attractions of the
City it might not be amiss to mention a
few of those having the greatest value.
Most Important of course, and familiar
to all is the cool weather of summer. This
is so delightful change from the heat of
the interior that it cannot be mentioned
too often. A part of this charm is soft
ening by high fogs of that intense glare
that never relaxes in the valleys.
Within the last year or two the extern
sion of electric lines has been so great that
the nature of it is realized by but few Of
the City residents themselves, and for those
living in the interior this source of pleas
ure will open up strange and delightful
charms. This is true particularly of the
lines penetrating the southern part of the
City in all directions. The Mission-street
electric line and the San Mateo line are
not only interesting in themselves, the
latter particularly, but they have branches
running into districts which few even of
the City residents have ever penetrated.
One branch of the San Mateo line takes a
course westwardly toward Twin Peaks,
and at its highest point above the City,
where it would cross Market street IL that
thoroughfare were extended, it presents to
view one of the noblest panoramas that
the elevated places of the City reveal.
Many great changes are taking place at
the Cliff House, including the most extern
sive baths in the world, where special ex-
hibitions by expert swimmers are given on
certain days, including Sundays. In this
neighborhood, also, are the big wheel of
the Midwinter Fair and other attractions
and euriosities from that exposition.
One of the newer sites of the City is bicy-
cling on an elaborate scale. Golden Gate
Park is the place where it may be seen to
flourish most 1uxuriantly, ard the variety
and novelty of the cycling costumes, par
ticularly those affected by women, are
worth going many a mile to see. Besides
the old and standard attractions of the
park, which in themselves can hardly all
be seen and appreciated in day, are some
new features of particular interest. One of
the best is the museum on the grounds of
the Midwinter Fair.
For those who like horseraces there is
an opportunity for daily enjoyment. Down
town the exhibits of the State Board of
Trade, the Academy of Sciences and the
Pioneers are exceedingly interesting and
instructive. The Presidio, Harbor View,
the outlook from the summit of Telegraph
Hill, and the pleasure of crossing the bay
to such charming places as Alameda, Oak
land, Berkeley, Belvedere, Sausalito, San
Rafael and numerous other beautiful spots
are constantly within reach.
These are but a few of the principal at
fractions. One of the least known, and
the best of all, is the restaurants conducted

OUR COMMERCIAL NEWS.

1t is an interesting fact that larger
proportion of Californians than of the
residents of any other State have reason
to keep close watch on the market. This
is largely because so many of the soil
products of our people are not staple, but
are classed among the luxuries, and hence
are subject to considerable fluctuations.
California growers first mastered the art of
producing these articles and the demand
for them was so great that large profits -
so large as to be incredible to Eastern
residents-was the result. Following this
came great increase of the acreage, and
then it was discovered that the limited
market which the first growers enjoyed
was too restricted for highly profitable
pursuit of some of the industries. 1t was
then that the cry of overproduction was
raised, and it has had a most serious
effect in retarding the progress of the State.
Next came the discovery that there was
really an unlimited market and that all
that was needed was plan to reach it.
This has been accomplished by the organ
ization of fruit unions and the establish
ing of salesrooms in the Eastern cities. In
this way the profits of rural industries
have been approximately restored. In all
these matters it is to be noted that all that
has been accomplished has been the result
of exercising more intelligence than is re-
quired of Eastern growers. In fact, it
may be stated as rule that California
growers success is measured by the intel
ligence as well as the industry which he
brings to his business.
The more recent conditions of these in
dustries require careful watch upon the
market. While many products have to
be sold when they are ripe, many more
can be held indefinitely or for longer or
shorter periods. THE CALL, recognizing
the importance of giving the fullest possi-
bic information concerning the condition of
the market as it affects every interest in
which Californians are concerned, insti-
tuted some time ago commercial depart
ment which for completeness is some
thing unique in California journalism.
The fact is already apparent to the mer-
chants and others doing business in the
cities, who regard THE CALL as indispen-
sable on that account alone. The growers
of the interior also are learning the value
of this service.
Not only the local rates for every article
of production are given daily, but tele-
graphic news of rates obtained in all the
cities of the world where our products are
handled is set forth every day. These re-
ports are all prepared with the greatest
care and are absolutely reliable. Not only
are dealers, commission merchants, stock
brokers and all other classes of business
men kept fully informed, but retail con-
sumers of all possible kinds of products,
home and foreign, can learn what should
be charged them for whatever they buy.
In view of the carelessness of many house
wives in making their daily purchases this
information is exceedingly valuable and a
study of it every morning may save them
many dollar in the course of the year.

THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION.

A State whose Legislature makes appropria-
tions amounting to near SIS 700, 900 every
session ought to be able to arrange good ex-
hibit, and such a State needs great many
more taxpayers than California has at present
in order to raise such vast sums without hard
ship. Let us have good exhibit at Atlanta
1t might bring us a great many taxpayers, and
possibly of class not so aristocratic as we are.
who would be able to do with a less expensive
State government.-San Luis Obispo Reasoner.
California should be well represented at the
International Exposition in Atlanta next win
ter. The convention of Supervisors, which
meets in this City on the 18th inst, will no
doubt be well attended. The opportunity for
advertising California in the coming exhibit
ton must not be lost Every county in the
State should contribute, so as to make thor
oughly representative display of our resources
and products.-San Francisco News Letter.
California should take advantage of the op.
portunity that will be presented at the Atlanta
Exposition to advertise its products, especially
its fruits. The exposition will be international
in character, and will be visited by hundreds
/ OF thousands of people.-Santa Barbara Press.
We are apt to underestimate the importance
of making magnificent display of Californian
products at the Atlanta Exposition. That will
be one of the most extensive expositions ever
held, and will be throughout International In
character.-San Jose Mercury.

AROUND TIE CORRIDORS.
de a discovery.

George Nagle has made q discovery.
al have learned why Senator VOORHEES, left
sutter Creek for Alaska several days ago. ne
said while talking over lemonade IN the
California Hotel yesterday.
''You see, VOORHEES, is a very progressive
man and thinks sutter Creek is capable OF
producing anything ever produced along the
coast. In view of these facts the Senator con-
ceived the idea of having water carnival aC
Sutter Creek.
"You must understand, gentlemen that the
creek in question is about twenty feet wide in
its natural channel and has to be damned be-
fore it will swell with pride. Well, the citi-
zens of Sutter Creek damned it, at the sug-
gestionS of VOORHEES,. and a committee on
aquatic parade was formed to arrange for
some panoramic floats and other articles of
splendor, sufficiently tinseled to justify their
appearance The area covered by water would
permit at least four row boats and scow of
state to float majestically past the grand stand
also the Senator's suggestion-and fade away
in the gloom up the creek
"The committee on light effects found it
would be possible to get electricity from
Dennis drugstore, SO system of incandescent
lights were strung around the pond. Over
each one was arranged tissue-paper bag
having red tone alternating with rich green
tints. Promptly at O'Clock P. NJ. the float OF
state was to be showed into the stream just as
the lights were turned on ana lew POUNDS or
red and blue fire were touched off. The band
was billed to play National airs and thus the
night of the Fourth was to be ushered in as
sort of prelude to speech which the Senator
had prepared"
Mr.. Nagle finished his lemonade and con-
tinued:
Everything went well until the hour for the
appearance of the float of state The grand
stand was filed with flutter OF flags and out
of the darkness came the murmur of ladies'
voices chattering in anticipation OF the won
derful picture which was soon to present itself
under the glare of many colored lights.
"However, they were surprised TO find that
the light effects were not forthcoming and that
the red and blue fire powder had fallen in the
creek and when the large well-rounded voice of
the Senator rang out in the stiffness they were
convinced that he was making his speech in
the dark-where he finished it.
"Thats the reason he went to Alaska, and
claims that the committee of arrangements
threw him down at the critical moment and
spoiled what was intended to be a very
patriotic affair"

THE TRUE GLORY OF LIFE.
A sABBATH-DAY REVERE.

More than the budding beauty of spring
these early summer days reveal the true glory
of life. The season of hope, with its signs OF
promise-the ambient air, the genial sun, the
tender grass, the heading grain, the spreading
branch, the opening leaf the blossom before
the fruit-above and in the earth; the symbol
OF youth, with its infinite aspirations-its joy
Gus health its native innocence, its simple
faith its honest truth, its keen intelligence, its
quick emotion-the whole formulate energies
of mind and heart in humanity itself; spring
is but the overture to that symphony of sum-
mer, when the rejuvenation of the world de-
velops into the full harmony of Nature, whose
sweetest melodies are those of the human
heart grown to feel the true glory of life.
For, after all is said and done, whatever is,
exists for u.s. When we speak of the world-the
world of nature or the world of art-we mean
the world of human life, especially the higher
human life, since everything relates to that.
To give superlative illustration let US say it
was not for the fruits and flowers, not for the
birds and beasts, it was for us that divine
beneficence assumed form which we could
comprehend, and in its embodied sojourn
among humanity, and as a member of it, gave
to us that supreme example of the true glory
of life. 1t is its intense humanity, it's loving
sympathy, which makes that sacred story the
most touching and inspiring and enduring tale
of love for love itself that lives in any Ian
guage, or that truth or fiction ever can evoke.
1t is the one eternal principle which constitutes
all that there is of worth in life. You cannot
purchase it with gold, or gems, or coronets, or
palaces, estates; it is the free gift the tender
grace, the subtle influence of the human heart.
1t glorifes the human race and manifests
itself in the loftiest and in the lowllest walks
of life.
We should be happy, therefore, in grateful
contemplation OF the fact that this summer
season, with its fullblown delights, exists for
all of u.s. We whose lot Is cast within the bor-
der lines of our Golden State have special
reason to rejoice at the manifold advantages of
air and land and sea which circumstance or
choice has youchsafed to US. Surely Nature is
prolific in her gifts, and if life for US should
seem to go amiss we may find, perchance, the
fault within ourselves. Disappointments and
discouragements, If rightly viewed and wisely
used, may act as new incentivesto the develop
ment OF the latent reeuperative powers that
lie within US. In the warfare of the world,
when we bend the bow let our aim be high
we shall not always miss the mark. And above
all other things. let us keep our hearts in
unison with that sweet strain of human SYM
pathy which is in harmony with the highest
conceptions of existence, for then and only
then shall we appreciate and enjoy the true
glory of life. A.
