There is no sadder spectacle than the man who har grown so fat as to lose the opportunity for reducing his flesh by rid- ing a bicycle.

A man went into a Florida barber-shop to have his hair cut, and when the barber bad removed half of it the man said he wished the job done on credit. The barber refused to complete the job and the man gued for damages for injury done to his personal appearance, but the court de- cided the barber was right, thus giving the country another warning that business must return to a cash basis, The Georgia manufacturers who have subscribed money to erect a building for a display of Georgia manufactured products at the Cotton States and- International Ex- position will hold their second annual con- vention in Atlanta during the third week in October. At that timea superb collec- tion of their wares will be on exhibition, and will attract the atteption of the world. The coming together ‘of this important interest will, without doubt, generate en- thusiasm and new energy in the develop- ment of the State, A GENERAL BENEFIT. In entering into sn alliance with The United Press the Cary bas placed itself in a position to be of larger service than ever, not only to its readers, but to the whoie of the vast region known as the Greater West. This results from the fact that it will furnish news to all the papers allied with that great organization as well as receive it from them, and thereby ob- tain the publication in the leading journals of the country of all those events of cur- rent interest on this coast which it deems worthy of telegraphing. The CarL notonly realizes that the new alliance gives it in this way great power to be of service to the City,ithe State and the coast, but is fully conscious of the réspon- sibility that power imposes. Ever since it passed into the hands of the present management the Carr has aimed to fulfill all the duties and worthily bear the title of. the Champion of Pacific Coast interests and Pacific Coast men. With the attain- ment of a position that affords new and larger opportunities to advance these in- sts it will pursue that aim with re- newed ardor and undiminished zeal. As a representative of The United Press on this coast every energy will be exerted to mgke the reports full, accurate and complrelensive of all everts that make up the life of our community and afford a true knowledge of what the Pacific Coast is. It is not easy to estimate the full extent of the influence for good the CALL can ex- ert in its new position. California has never been fully understood in the East. It has been regarded only as a land of gold, of romance, of deserts, of adventur- of booms, of endless sensations and It is time to make it well-ordered law, industrious people, safe business, colleges, churches, homes and a continuous advancement in enterprises based upon solid foundations and directed ¥ judgment. The reports The United Press will send East will fairly present the facts of Pacific Coast develop- ment and not give more importance to pass- ing sensations than to legitimate newsitems of industry, politics, education and other forces that make for the welfare of society. In this way the people of the older sections of the Union will get juster ideas of this part of the Republic. ‘They will read day by day of our increasing prosperity and expand- ing energies. They will iearn of our wide- spread industries as well as of those iso- lated crimes which have too often been treated as the only news of the day from California. In short, they will acquire the truth and the whole truth, and that will be as much benefit to the Pacific Coast as can be desired by its most earnest advo- cate and most stalwart champion. THINK IT OVER. he lottery swindlers find their profits in the easy credulity of the victims and in the American disregard for the smaller economies of life. An easy credulity is readily persuaded to take the most un- promising chances if they do not cost much, and to the average American twenty-five cents is but a trifle and even a dollar does not seem an important part of a month’s earnings. Hence those Ameri- caps who are credulous of every tale that is told yield without difficulty to the en- ticements of the persuasive rascals who offer them lottery tickets on the argument that even if no prize is drawn the loss will be small. 1t is evident under these circumstances that much can be done to cripple the vower of lotteries and save money for use in legitimatie industry by leading those people who have been in the habit of buy- ing lottery tickets to think for a little while upon the comparative values of a ticket and of a two-bit piece. We return to the subject this morning therefore with that object in view. It is a day of rest. Nearly everybody in the City has leisure to reflect upon other things than business, and to the victims of the lottery game this is about as gocd a subject for meditation as can be suggested. In the course of its contest with lotteries, the Cary has published abundant evidence that the greater number of lottery com- panies operating in this City are unmiti- gated swindles, never having any drawings at all, that of the tickets purporting to emanate from companies that do possibly go through the motions of a drawing, one half are rank counterfeits, and that of the genuine tickets of such companies not one in a thousand draws a prize. What, there- fore, is a ticket worth? Those who have been in the habit of buying them can best answer that question by calculating how much they have put into lotteries and how much they have drawn out. Those who have had no experience will be able to find the answer without it by the simple exer- cise of common-sense. A two-bit piece 1s no great sum, but it is worth something. There is scarcely a household 1n the City that could not find a really profitable use for even that small amount of money. 1i it can be put to no other service, it would be excellent as a starter for a savings bank for a child. | Any boy or girl permitted to regard 25 cents a month of the family earnings as their own and taught to save it, would ac- quire habits of thrift and an estimate of the value and right uses of money that would make them helpful to the family when they grow up, and of more worth than 40,000 lottery tickets. The subject, however, is one for individual reflection rather than for general argument, for every person is the best judge of what a quarter is worth to him. We can only say a lottery ticket is about as worthless anything ever gets to be, and it would seem, therefore, that any man who gives the subject the slightest consideration could find for his money a better use than that of squandering it for the enrichment of ihe sharpers who carry on their ne- farious games in violation of the law. Think it over. The lottery is a swindle, afraud, a lying pretense, a crime. Think it over, and individually do what you can to stamp it out. AN OAKLAND GODDESS, convince us that these girls of the interior | market value of our properties, let us now, have less womanliness or modesty than is becoming to girls, or that their woman- hood has been cheapened and degraded, or that bitter animosities have resulted or are likely to ensue. We have an idea that the typical California girl has more sense than prudery, and that much of her matchless charm is duc to that dash, spirit, independence and character which make her stand avart from her weaker and almost colorless sisters of dess fortunate communities. Many have regarded these contests as harmless play, and hence had never seen degradation in them in the numerous ways in which for all time they have been con- ducted—at fairs, at social gatherings, at May-queen elections. On the contrary, there had seemed always to be something peculiarly attractive about them, includ- ing the cultivation of a chivalric admira- tion of the sex and a recognition of the fact that its charms and graces are worthy of a struggle. We had reflected that from the dawn of civilization, from the moment when women were elevated above the vrimitive conditions of tribal slavery, the flower of manhood has contended in doing them honor;that thrones and empires have fallen before the dainty uplifted finger of a woman, and that to the extent to which women are adored and cherished by the ‘men of a nation is the national standard of manhood high and noble. Must we now revise this standard of chivalry and say that our girls shall not be shamed. by having their names bandied about in a public contest? Then where shall we draw the line between feminine modesty and a woman'’s right to go forth into the world free and fearless, using the heart and courage and strength that God 5 | has given her for the good of the world? But, in any event, Oakland will celebrate in a manner worthy of her intelligence and patriotism, ber beauty and her chivalry. A DEVELOPING FACTOR, Assuming that the bicycle isa perma- nent institution it is not difficult to foresee the peculiar effect which it will have on the growth and development of San Fran- cisco. 1t being an established fact that cneap and swift urban transportation is an exceedingly important factor in determin- ing the character and extent of a city’s spread, and the bicycle having proved its ability to compete with all kinds of street railways and livery service, two considera- tions now present themselves. One is that the districts having the smoothest pave- ments will be those which develop most rapidly, and the other is settlement wiil proceed most easily in level and approxi- mately level areas. The factor represented by smooth pave- ments exists in every city. It happens, however, that San Francisco has a peculiar topography, its steep hills presenting an obstacle which the bicycle cannot over- come, approximately level areas, which include nearly the whole of the settled zegion south of O'Farrell street. That is to say, about two-thirds of the City as it is at present settled can fall under the develop- ing influence of the bicycle. It is very greatly to the interest of every section which has no prohibitory grades to offer smooth pavements to bicyclists. With the exception of a few streets run- ning north and south, such as Van Ness avenue and parts of Devisadero and Stan- van streets, the Western Addition has tod steep grades for the bicycle, and even these streets do not give safe and pleasant access to anything like the whole of that region. Hence the bicycle cannot be an important factor in the development of the northern end of the peninsula. For that matter, as the wealthier residents are concentrating in that section, and so, however much they may indulge in cycling as a pastime or hygienic measure, they will never em- ploy it as a business convenience, it is easy to see that the streetcar lines traversing that section will receive no serious injury from bicycle competition. It is very different with the more level parts of the City, and it is here that serious economic problems are to be solved. Street railways here will suffer, and development will bear a rigid relation to the condition of the streets. A wheelman demands a bituminous pavement, and a wheelman who works for a salary will pitch his home, whether as a boarder, a renter or a free- holder, on a street which has the easiest grade and the smoothest pavement. The pavement which Folsom street is prepar- ing to lay will send thousands of home- seeking wheelmen to that thoroughfare, and this extraordinary demand alone will raise rentals and increase the value of property. All this is based on the assumption that the bicycle as a business convenience will not only retain its present popularity, but that this employment of it will be very largely increased. This is not altogether an assured fact. Say thata man pays 10 cents a day for car fare, and. that he has sixty-five holidays (including Sundays) in a year. This would make his necessary personal streetcar expense $30 a year. He will spend at least $10 a year more tor him- self and family, making $40. A bicycle costing $100 will last, say four years, and the expense for repairs will be, say $10a year. This is $35a year. spend car fare in addition, so that appar- ently there is not much economy in a bicycle. But it has one tremendous ad- vantage—the pleasure, freedom and health that it gives in the riding, and these alone seem sufficient to give it a permanent monopoly. ‘We shall expect therefore that the level parts of San Francisco will develop rapidly under the influence of the bicycle, and that it will even serve to bring into proper no- tice that whole sadly neglected region lying south of Market street and east of Seventh. The property-owners who fail to take these considerations into account and provide smooth streets may live to rue their negligence THE NATIONAL CONVENTION. ‘There is one aspect in which the hold- ing of the Republican National Conven- tion at S8an Francisco may be viewed which gives to the matter a peculiar National im- A highly intelligent faction of Oakland’s | portance.

The point of view must first be made wholesome.

It would be difficult to tising our State and thus enhancing the At the same time it has very large | His family wiil | from this point of view, inquire what the whole country might gain from the hold- ing of the convention at San Francisco. The first great fact that confronis usis the intermediary position which California occupies between. the United .States and the most favored parts of Europe. That is to say, California is the only State in the Union that can produce many of the ex- pensive articles which are consumed largely in this country, and which are pro- duced elsewhere only in foreign countries, and which, therefore, constitute a very im- portant element of import-tariff charges and reciprocity arrangements. This very important consideration has not heretofore received anything like due consideration at the hands of either of the great political parties. To be more specific, among these articles which Galifornia produces are wines of the quality and range of those produced in France, Italy, Germany and Spain, olives and olive oil equal to those of Italy, figs of the kind and excellence of those produced in Asia Minor and on the shores of the Adri- atic Sea, eucalyptus oil to compete with Australia, pyrethrum to supplant the in- sect powder which Persia sends, grapes of a range from the Concord and Isabella of New England to the Scuppernong of the Gulf of Mexico and the whole tribe from Malaga to the Cote d’Or, loquats and plums from Japan, scent-yielding plants from every corner of the world, apricots, sugar beets, nectarines and silk. In addition we produce other valuable articles grown in other but very limited American districts, as oranges, lemons, limes and prunes. Be- sides all these are the vast known, undis- covered and checked deposits of gold, to- gether with a bewildering array of valua- ble base minerals. Andall this is added to our production of every conceivable staple article, including all the cereals, cotion, hemp, flax, tobacco, wool, lumber and flower and vegetable seeds. About all that we do not produce is coffee, tea and opium, and even the last two of these might be produced under a sufficient protective tariif. Is it not worth the while of a great po- litical party to consider seriously the hear- ing of these facts upon the vrosperity of the Nation? Is it not the duty of such a party to see and understand these condi- tions and be enabled thereby to adjust them wisely to the needs of the country? The holding of the convention at San Francisco would not only be the discharge of a perfunctory duty, but it would present an opportunity for studying the resources of the garden of the Union and for applying the resulting knowledge to the needs of the whole coun- try in the form of beneficent policies and wise legislation. And so we say to the leaders of the Re- publican party: Come West. ARQUND THE CITY. Tt is not so very expensive a matter to take a certain drive which we shall now outline, especially since the bicycle has given livery stables an exceptional oppor- tunity “to please.” The drive begins, say downtown, and the first pleasant roadway encountered is Van Ness avenue. This is followed northwardly past Union street nearly to Fort Mason, where a good drive- way westwardly to the Presidio is found. | It is in traveling this street that one finds | cause for genuine regret that James G.E Fair died before completing, in the filling- in of the hundreds of marshy acres lying in the vicinity of Harbor View, one of the | greatest improvements ever undertaken by private enterprise in San Francisco. Beyond this lies the Presidio, recently made particularly interesting by the erec- tion of new military defenses. McDowell avenue, a splendid macadamized highway, reveals all these evidences of the savage instinct of fighting, which ‘‘civilization’” has only made more murderous—the great guns that carry nine miles to sea and the plant for the famous dynamite battery that is to blow whole invading fleets out of the ocean. | This avenue gives an outlet to Lobos | avenue, which has fallen into unpopularity because of the superior attractions of the park. But Mr. Sutro’s electric road has been laid over the ronte as far west as his baths, and it is to be but a short time till | the cars are running. The avenue ends at the beach, where the new Cliff House is seen rearing its airy framework heaven- ward, and beyond that isan incomparable drive on the hard wet sand to the road which turns abruptly eastward toward the City. ‘We pass the Ingleside, where poor old Stagg was recently murdered, and find it in the hands of a new lessee, who has re- juvenated the famous resort. Here we may turn sharply to the morth into the | Corbett road and follow it over-the most | picturesque and spectacular drive on the whole peninsula. This is the drive that is to form the western extension of Market | street to the ocean beach. In crossing the range of mountains which cut the penin- | sula north and south this splendid road brings into review a succession of such splendid and bewildering panoramas as may be seen only from these towering heights in the neighborhood of Twin ! Peaks, 300 feet above the level of the sea. | The lights and shadows made by the after- i noon sun as one descends the grade to the | level of the City, with broad views of the numerous valleys into which the City is divided, the bay stretching in a shining mass to Oakland, and beyond it the hills | of Contra Costa, above which are upreared the somber peaks of Mount Diablo, make a series of pictures matchless for variety and expansiveness. | PEOPLE TALKED ABOUT. !

He is remarkably abstemious, his only indulgence being tobacco, which he AROUND THE CORRIDORS. Colonel Finley Anderson, the representative of The United Press, through whom the CALL made its alliance with the greatest news-gath- ering agency in the world, is more entitled to be numbered among the great journalists than many men perhaps better known. As he hur- ried into the Palace Hotel yesterday morning an elderly gentleman, who had rather a Lon- don air about him, turned to a friend and the following conversation ensued: “There goes Colonel Anderson of New York. He is a man with considerable of & record. Now, between you and me, he hada bigger hand in getting Henry M. Stanley off to Africa in his hunt for Dr. Livingstone than most people know. “How s0?” “This way.

He put the case in the hands of Ander- COLONEL ANDERSON, WHO STARTED STANLEY INTO AFRICA. [Sketched from life for the “Call? by Nankivell.} son, and instructed him to do what he thought right in the matter. There was an endless amount of work in the preparation of the de- tails, and the expedition was prepared in a remarkably short sprce of time. =The business, the route, the provision, the telegraphic ser- vice and the relays were all laid out by An- derson, and Bennett was not bothered from the time he ordered it done to the hdur of Stenley’s return with another Herald victory. “That isn’t all of his associaticn with Stan- ley, but it is beyond a doubt the greatest. A year or two before that he started Stanley off to Abyssinia with Sir Robert Napier. That was the war in which King Theddore wes killed and his army captured. 1 tell you Anderson isaman who has been in touch with some un- usual incidents of latter-day history. He knows his business.” “How long ago was that 2’ ““Qver twenty-five years. Why, man alive, 1 saw Stanley leave London, and remember both oceasions just referred to as though they were yesterday. It was something one can’t forget. Just think of the sensation it created. Think of the plen of sending a fellow-reporter off to Africa to find a white man supposed to be lost somewhere in the midst of three thousand miles of jungle. Talk about your enterprise among the journals of to-day, they are not in it with the old school,” and the speaker brought his hand down on the railing of the cortel as though he wished to puncthate his remarks ®with vociferousness. ““How are you, Anderson ?” explained the speakdr, suddenly. “Come over here and meet a friend of mine. Mr. Harkness, Colonel Ander- son, New York; Colonel Anderson, Mr. Hark- ness, San Francigco.”” With this the trio went off somewhere to raview the past and lay down some new plans for the future. One Sunday in Denver a sinner wandered into church. Recognized by the ushers as a stranger he was shown into a seat which was occupied by the clergyman’s wife. During the service the siranger’s gun—as in the West re- volvers are termed—dropped to the floor and ‘was exploded by the shock of finding itself in s0 unusual a place. The bullet imbedded itself in his neighbor’s leg, inflicting a serious but not dangerous wound. The incident cre- ated some excitement, and the sinner was deeply moved by the result of his thoughtless- ness in taking his gun to church, but was par- tially consoled by the reflection that such a thing had never heppened to him before, and that he had no intention of going to church when he started out. UP TO DATE IDEAS. J.N. Thorp oi College Park has invented an apparatus for wetting the staves of water- tanks to keep them from shrinking when the tank is only partiy filled. The apparatus con- sists simply of a funnel, having two pipespro- jecting armlike in opposite directions and pivoted on a pin, which is supported in the center of the tank by a light beam fastened to opposite sides of the tank. The water from the pump empties into the funnel and runsout through the pipes, which are bent at the outer ends, causing them to slowly revolve, while the water is discharged against the staves, and running down wets the whole inner surface oi the tank. The apparatus can be attached to any tank. It never needs oiling, as the motion is slow and the bearings are brass. The motion is auto- matic. It makes no more work for the pump, as the waier empties freely into the funnel and the surplus water runs over into the tank. A patent has been applied for. SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The lottery business is an evil without one redeeming feature. It is responsible for thefts, defaleations, domestic misery, and even sui- cide. It ought to be wiped out utterly.

Beyond question, one great difficulty in life is that men have not yet learned the omnipo- tence there is in well-directed human effort when guided and controlled by an unyielding determination.
