Fate seems Determined That Posterity

REPRESENTATIVE Rhea. OF kentucky the
friend and admirer of ex-senator Black

Of these is superstition about having
his photograph taken. New members, on
arriving ia the city, are always Invited
by Mr. Bell 10 sit for their photographs,
and most of them accept eagerly, but
when Mr. Rhea received his invitation the
other day he tore it into bits, which were
thrown into the waste basket. Later. a
mild-mannered clerk called from the pho-
tocrapher to ask Mr. Rhea in person 10
come for sitting. that the gallery or
Congressional pictures might be complete,
all the others having accepted.
Dir. Rhea was inclined to be n little
severe az first. but finally besought his
young caller not 90 urge him TO accept the
invitation. for. If he accepted, some fear
ful disaster would happen either to him,

warned him Of the results OF previous

untoward would happen. but he laughed
al my fears. and told me that his studio
was only half a square away. urging me
to go al once.
Il finally consented and bet Kim a wine
dinner that something would happen and
that he never would be able TO develop the

that gentleman say sternly:

you left my house last evening?
1t was like dash Of cold water In his
face: he fairly gasped. He had come TO

Capt. Cook Tell. How lie Made Success
of Ills Colorado venture.


One Of the strangest enterprises in this
country is an elk farm IN Colorado. The
man who took 1t into his head TO start
this oldest OF an odd farm IS Capt Mar
Gus Cook, who says:
Il own an elk farm. As far as I know
there IS not another such farm in the
world. Ny farm Is In one Of the most
picturesque parts Of Colorado. IN a valley
sixteen miles east OF Meeken. II Is lo3

they are safe enough nevertheless, for 1

THE NASHVILLE PROGRAMME.

The much-dscussed convention OF the
middle-of the-road Populists which as
sem bled at Nashville and opened its pro-
ceedings with clash on the Fourth of
july was hurried to a conclusion in
shorter time and with less friction than
was expected Instea of being a conven-
ton Of de bate and controversy it has
turned out to be no more than a gathering
of men assem- bled to carry out cutand-
dried programme.
After the first wrangle on the opening
day there was very little in the proceed
ings OF the convention 10 interest the gem
oral public. No division OF factions ap-
peared, and there seems to have been very
little in the way OF differences Of opinion.
The man who on the opening day called
his opponent "a red headed pep-sucker"
and was denounced in return as bullet
/ eaoed buzzard" coincided in the end with
his eloquent friend and voted with him in
carrying out the prearranged programme.
The real interest in the convention will
be found in a consideration OF the effect it
is likely 10 have upon the Populist party
and through that organization upon the
general politics OF the country. The con-
vention adopted plan for conn plete re-
construction OF the party machine. 1t
provides for new National Committee
and for new Stale Committees. to hold
Office until the assem- bling OF n National
Con vsntion which is to be called by the
National Committee. This, it will be
seen, gives TO the party double head,
and it ia now prepared to talk on equal
terms with the Democratic party, which
ever since the Indianapolis convention Of
last year has also been species of double
headed rooster.
The Nashville organization pledges Its
officials not to enter into any sort OF fusion
or combination with any other political
party. II it succeeds in drawing to itself
a m jorty OF the rank and file of the or
ganization 1t will put an end to the hopes
OF the Bryanites of being able to renew in
1900 the fusion which enabled them to
carry some Of the Western States last
year. 70 how great an extent the new
movement will be supported by Populists
cannot yet be foreseen, but as 1t is led by
the most aggressive and resolute men in
the party and has the advantage OF main
tanning weli.defined principles IL has
fair chance OF winning over nearly the
whole mass OF genuine Populists. Tho
prospects are that we shall have three
tickets in the next Presidential campaign.
and that Bryan. If he is renominated, will
have to make forlorn fight as leader OF
one wing OF divided Democracy and with
out the allies who helped him last year.

THE OAKLAND EXPOSITION.

The exposition o. the industries Of Ala
neda County now running in Oakland
has fair prospect OF achieving This year
a success far beyond any accomplished in
the past. The knowledge that a large
number of Eastern visitors would be in
California at this time has stin ulated the
people Of the county TO make the best ex-
position possible. anc accordingly those
visitors who attend II will be BILE 10 study
the resources and industries OF Oakland
and its environs under the most favorable
circumstances
1t IS to be regretted that we have not an
exposition of all the industries OF Cali
fornia to show our visitors, but lacking
that We may be well pleased in having go
good an exposition Of one Of our most
prosperous and progressive counties. Tne
Eastern visitor who attends the exposi-
iion will see a variety Of products which
Will astonish him when he learns that
they are the outcome OF single county.
Hardly any Stale IN the East could show
so many different articles OF such high
exceilencs as will be on exhibition from
this conf paratiyely small portion OF the
area of Canfornis, and the ref scting OBJ
server can estimate from what he sees
there something of the vast productive
ness and infinite variety OF the State as
whole.
The business OF the convention and the
many attractions OF San Francisco and
the region surrounding 1t Will leave to the
G egates 10 the convention and their
friends little leisure If they undertake to
see ali during the comparatively short
time of their stay. This TACT will compel
the visitors to make selection Of the
sights which they intend 10 see, and in
making that selection the Oakland exposi
tion should not be overlooked.
The advantage which will result to Cali
fornia from an inspection OF the exposi-
tion by a large number at least OF our
Eastern visitors was well expressed by
John r. IRISH in his opening address in
The words, "One pair oi eyes from abroad
will see far more ana be far better adver-
tisemeDt of our products than q dozen
pairs of intelligent eye, belonging 10
those vino live with US" The truth Of
that statement is not to be gainsaid, and
1t is 10 be hoped nearly II not quite all OF
our visitors can be induced to make
thorough study Of the exhibit. However
that may be, the people Of Oakland are to
be congratulated cr the successful exposI-
ton which they have provided. 1t Is most
timely and appropriate in every way. and
will prove benefit, not TO Oakland only,
but TO the entire State.

THE TORRID EAST.

The thousands of visitors from the East
who have come 10 the Christian Endeavor
Convention in this City have escaped one
of the severest hot waves that ever swept
over the Eastern section of the Union.
Telegraphic reports abound with instances
Of prostration, sunstrokes and deaths
caused by the excessive heat of the
weather. These reports come from all
portions Of the East, and the hot wave
seems 10 be as severe in New York as in
the extreme South.
AS tie Eastern visitors read these re-
ports from their former homes and COM
pare them with the cool and pleasant
weather which prevails here they will at :
tain an understanding of the great advan-
tags which the Pacific Coast enjoys over
the East We have occasionally in this
City what are called 'hot spells" but they
are never anything like what is known by
that name east OF the Rockies. Our se-
verest weather in the summer would be
accounted mild, pleasant and altogether
delightful in any other portion of the
Union. Our prevailing summer weather
is 30 far superior to that Of the East that
we ought TO have different nomenclature
to characterize it's various phases.
II the Eastern visitor who now enjoys
the realization of the difference between
summer in California and summer in the
East could remain with us for year he
would see that each successive season re-
veals q new advantage in California
climate. As our summers are free from
torrid heat, so are our winters free from
the severe cold which comes to all sections
Of the East north of the Gulf States, and
which does not always spare them from
snowstorms and freezing blasts sufficiently
severe to kill fruit trees and infiIct much
suffering upon the poor.
California in fact is more blest by its
climate than by its gold mines. 1t is the
land where men can live out OF doors at
all seasons OF the year and at all hours OF
the day with more comfort than in any
other land on earth. We read of the tor
rid heat OF tho East with sympathy for
the people who suffer from it, and with
some surprise that more OF those who are
able to do SO do not come to California for
the summer and the winter, and in fact to
make their homes permanently.
