Speaking Of this phase of the
Venezuelan situation, Representa-
tive Adams, Of Pennsylvania, who
for twelve years has been striving
for reform in the A merican consular
service, remarked to your cores
pondent: "If only we had properly
educated consuls Of adequate busi-

America this would prove golden
opportunity for extending the trade
of the United States in that direc-
ton, but with broken-down politi-
clans, what are popularity known as
"lame ducks" to represent the great
interests of the United States, men
who in most instances cannot speak
the language Of the country to
which they are sent, what prospect
is there of our being able to take
advantage of the situation?'

Since the exposure by the lead
ing newspapers of the country of
the fake stock gambling scheme
operated by Arnold & Co., at St.
Louis and New York City, where
thousands of victims were caught,
would it not be a good idea for
these same leading newspapers to
start a reform of their own by re-
fusing to publish all humbug ad-
vertisements? These papers help
the swindlers deceive the people
and when the explosion comes
hire high-salaried writer's to tell
the dear people just how they
were swindled.

POPPIES AND STARS.
Two Sights for Which Southern
California Is Famous.
Flaming Fields of Glowing Flowers
Astonish TGurdsts-A Visit to the
Great Lick ObserSa-
tory.

Especial Los Angeles (CaL) letter.
n L this season, when the scenery
~ of California is at it's best, 1t
would be hard to select any one
feature of the landscape a s that which,
par excellence, added more to the gen
aral beauty than any other, but it is
certain that nothing contributes more
pleasure to a greater number OF peo-
pie than the fields of golden-hued
peoples which hold all the glories of
the wonderful California sunshine
condensed in their satin depths. The
snow-tOpped grandeur of the purple
mountains inspires awe and admira-
ton as they slope down to the foot
hills covered with gray-green olive
groves and rich, dark, myrtle-green
orange and lemon orchards to the
miles of glowing peoples nesting be-
low, but the latter add something
warm and personal to ones enjoy
ment; they are something to be gath
cred. to be taken away, to become ones
own, in a measure, so that all, from the
children who revel among them to the
grandparents who select a few choice
blossoms, love. these little flowers
which decorate the earth with such
lavish generosity more than any other
of the thousands of varieties which,
favored by this equable climate, find
a home on the Pacific slope.
So many people who visit the south
ern portion of this state fail to take
advantage of an opportunity which,
once improved, may never be forgot
ten, and which, in all it's attractions,
furnishes the most interesting expe-
rience of any trip which may be taken
in California, viz, visit to Lick OBJ
seryatory. After reaching San Jose,
