TO DESIGNATE OUR PRODUCTS.

Whatever the earnestness and diligence
of the Manufacturers and Producers As
ISOLATION, it is clearly evident that the
great work of educating the people to the
wisdom Of buying California products and
manufactures in preference to those
brought from distance must be carried
out by the merchants of the State; and
there is not one, even in the smallest ham
let, but that can become most important
factor in the work. A number of plans
have been devised by merchants who APP
preciate not only their opportunity but
their duty, and the Manufacturers As
ISOLATION has received a suggestion that
common label, easily recognized, be affixed
to all California articles. One merchant
proposes to put on exhibition on the
Fourth of July only such articles as Cali
fornia turns out. In view of the fact that
the Fourth viii be holiday, and that the
stores will be closed, this idea does not
seem to be the best that might be devised.
Let US imagine what would be the result
if some strong firm should establish great
house confined to California articles of
production and manufacture. 1t would
cover (even if .perishable goods should be
6ACluQSuJ dH doIOuiSllHS IduSS VI dIblC1eS,
including absolutely everything essential
in the way of food, clothing, furnishings
and fuel. If, under the modern system of
dividing business into specialties, this may
be deemed too wide a range of articles for
one firm to handle let it be reflected that
some of the great department-stores of the
country cover all this ground and much
besides, and that they are reaping the
cream of the business in certain cities of
the Union. Surprising such an establish
ment to be in existence, and that it would
be on vast scale to attract the most at
tention, it would receive all the backing
which the sentiment in favor of the use of
home products could give it.
Lest, however, there should be danger
that the success of such an undertaking
might operate to the creation of jealousies
injurious to its success, it seems that cor
poration on very large scale, in which

course would have caused any one else to Sc
cure the sign at once and have it placed in po-
sition, but Henry saw chance to have q little
fun, which he introduced at the next meeting.
When al this meeting it came to Henry's time
to report he stepped out with pleasant ex-
preston on his face.

LOTTERY FRAUDS.

In pursuing Investigations into the lot
terry business as carried on in this
City, the CALL finds it involving
so many forms and phases of swind-
ling that it is difficult to define a
limit to the iniquity of it. The fact that
the entire business is illicit seems to have
attracted to it almost every class of oper-
ators who delight in illicit things. Takers
and forgers vie with one another in the
criminal trade and carry their frauds to a
degree that barely falls short of downright
thieving.
One OF thesmost ingenious tricks Of the
operators in the nefarious traffic was ex-
posed in the CALL yesterday by the publ
cation of d confidential circular issued by a
so-called company which proposed to an
agent of this City to have a considerable
prize drawn here by ".prominent person
who would not object to having his name
published" The object of the scheme was,
OF course, to dupe people into the belief
the prize was fairly drawn and thus entice
them to try their luck. This shows where
the alleged prizes go and how and for
what purpose they are distributed. The
prize appears, therefore, to be the biggest
fraud in the whole fraudulent game.
The lottery swindles, as exposed by the
CALL up to this time, are these: First,
nearly all the tickets sold in this City are
rank fakes and represent no company
whatever. Second, where the tickets bear
the name of a well-advertised company
one-half of them are counterfeits. Third,
where the tickets of such companies are
genuine they are valueless because the
drawings are fraudulent. Fourth, where
prizes are distributed they are simply
schemes to entice the unwary, being Sc
lected before any drawing takes place and
sent to localities where some prominent
person can be found who will consent to
be used as a stool pigeon by the swindlers.
On this exhibit of facts what intelligent
man or woman can supply themselves
with any semblance of reason for invest
ing in the tickets? What man aspiring to
honesty in business can sell them? What
newspaper claiming to use its power to adj
vance the public good and check swindling
can continue to publish lottery notices?
There is fraud in the trade, consider it how
you will, and we hope soon to drive it out of
the City, or at least so deep into the slums
that norman OF even a seeming respectable
ity will have any dealings with it.

AROUND THE coRR1DoRs.

After Joe Strong, the artist, had reviewed
the South Sea Islands yesterday afternoon at
the Palace Hotel he turned his attention to Sir
Henry Heyman, the violinist.

sit appears" continued Strong, "that several
months ago the directors of the Art Institute
thought 1t would be good idea to have some
brass signs made to place on the front of the
granite wall with the words Hopkins, Art In
stitute' on them. OF course, as is generally
the case with artistic people, there was a yery
long-W1nded discussion INDUCED in as to what
sort OF design would be the most appropriate
for such an important sign. Everybody had
something to say about it, and to end the dis
cussion it was decided that member of the
association should go to the various sign COM
panles and get estimates and designs 1t so
happened that the detail work incidental to
this matter was placed in the hands of Sir
Henry, who Immediately proceeded to attend
to 1t. After reasonable time had been con-
sumed he reported to James D.. Phelan. the

As the Fourth of July approaches the
practice of exploding firecrackers increases,
and along with it the danger of fires. This
danger IS not great if due care is exercised,
but nevertheless there is always consider
able number of fires resulting from this
form of celebrating the day. 1t will be
well, therefore, for all citizens to exercise
more than ordinary caution and watchful-
ness during the week. Do not wait for the
Fourth to come before you grow careful.
The time to begin watchfulness is to-day.

rise to CONGREGATIONS. The disasters that
result from their use can nearly always be

take big chances and to overlook the inn
portance of prudence in little things. This

THE FRENCH HOSPITAL.

Our French fellOw-cit1Zens have a good
right TO be proud of the beautiful hospital
which they opened on Saturday. 1t is a
work which may be justly called noble.
The motives which prompted its construc-
ton, the object for which it was designed,
the spirit with which it was undertaken,
the means by which the work was carried
out and the energy with which every part
of the task was fulfilled, are each and all
evidences of characteristics that humanity
has always honored. Nor is the completed
work an inadequate monument of the
aims, aspirations and energies of those
who promoted it. In size, in beauty, in
equipment as we'll as utility and strength,
it is truly noble structure, and will long
stand as memorial to those who raised
it, and an ornament of which all San
Francisco will be proud.
The most intense American viii have no
objection to this display of racial fellow
ship and sympathy among the French
people of the City. Works of this kind are
what we desire to build into the great
structure of our American life, and no
matter by what race or nationality among
us they are accomplished, we proudly
claim them as our own ana cite them as
evidences of the growing culture and
humanity among US. The new hospital is
Justly given the French name of "Maison
de Sante," for out OF the benevolence of
French hearts and by the liberality of
French purses it was built, but none the
less does. it exhibit Californian characters
ties; since in no other land have the French
found. either the beneyolence or the lib
crafty to construct so noble an edifice by
voluntary contributions.
Whether the French genius or the Cali
fornia environment had most to do with
the construction of the work is, however, a
fact that we have this great building in
our City as part OF the work of beneyo-
lence to which all humanity is committed
by reason of the common liability to dis
ease and pain. From the Maison. de .Sante

that will reap the benefit, and in the truest
senset congratulations in the completion
of the stately edifce, should be given not to

destinies are SO largely dependent on the

the most remarkable of the red-tinted suns.
Being double, It's deep green companion gives
wide scope to speculation as to color effects on
the unseen planets that may be revolving
round them.
Turning from those distant suns of which we
know so little as yet to the center of our solar
system, 1t is not generally remembered that on
July the earth is3 900, 900 miles farther from
the orb of day than on the first day of the year.
Our planet is now what is technically called in
aphelion; and the glowing sun that shrivels
the heritage and mellows the landscape far too
soon is apparently one-thirtieth smaller than
the orb that looks coldly down through the
clouds of January.
However, the warmth of summer depends
more on the directness of the sunbeam than on
the difference between 911z and 941z millions
OF miles, and in northern ATTITUDES summer
greets US annually in defiance to increasing
distance. ROSE O'HALLoRAN.

THE HEAVENS IN July.

The planet Uranus, which is 1 ZOO. 900 900 of
miles distant from the earth, and not always
easily distinguished from the small rstars
around 1t, may be seen near the meridian dur
ing the coming weeks when the twilight is
past.
Though 1000 miles in diameter it has but
the CLEAN of sixth magnitude star, and is now
in the constellation Libra toward the south,
where it will linger for some time, as it takes
eighty-four years to go around the heavens. In
the accompanying diagram of the constellation
mentioned, the oblique line is a portion of the
ecliptic, and the small orb marked 1 is the
planet Uranus, which never wanders even one
degree beyond the plane of that celestiel circle.
since the earliest ages it has been known that
