Thousands of tourists visit us at that season to enjoy { the mildness of the climate and indulge |in the wonderful variety of winter pleas- ures which includes ice palaces and | rose festivais, surt bathing at Coronado {and tobogganing at Truckee. The sum- | mer attractions of the State on the vther | band have not vet been fully made | knowa, and our Eustern visitors leave us | when spring begins just as they leave Florida, being under the impression evi- dently that a land where ihe winters are somild must be a land where the sum- | mers are scorching and the climate un- | healthy. | Itistime that the summer attractions of the State should be more fully made | known. There is no reason why the tour- | ist travel to California should not be as | large from spring to autumn as it is from autumn to spring. The variety of pleas- ures here in winter is not greater than that which can be foand in summer. Santa Monica and the whole coast 1s as pleasant in July as in February, and at Truckee the toboggan slides g ve way in summer to delights of fishing, hunting and camping, wh ch are not less raptur- It is the same throughout the State, “from Siskiyou to San Diego, from the mountains to the sea’” Winter or sum- mer, north or south, in January or August, in the Sierras or by the ocean, tbere are always tonic breezes for the in- valid, sports for the pleasure-seeker, nov- eltios of life for the wearied, and rest, bealth and jov for all. | Todeal adequateiy witk: the attractions | of California in summer would take a series of many volumes. The bicycler knows a thousand roads where it is a de- light toride, the ancler knows a myriad | of streams running tarouzh shaded for- | ests, where the fish are game and not too | wary, the campers are familiar with a | muliitude of hidden places in the woods | far from crowas, the mountain-climbers are aware of peaks almost unexplored, the | swimmers know s retches of sea where the surf is free from danger, but full of buoy- ancy of the ocean, and the summer girl knows many a haunt where life can be lived in the opeu air with such whole- someness as will send her back to the winter season in the city with vigor that will enable her to radiate joy and glad- ness to all who come within the sphere of her influence. There is no reason for the Californian to go abroad to lind any form of summer- time enjoyment. The great hotels which dot the State from the slopes of Shasta to the Leach at Coronado offer all attractions which can be obtained anywhere in such | large gathering places of fashion and society. Melicinal springs of every kind afford to the invalid the remedy furnished by nature for the cure of his ills. The | mountain lakes offer a complete change | of air to those wio live most of the year by the sea, and the coast has an equal offering to those whose homes are in the interior valleys or ou the mountains. Sooner or later the summer charms of our State will be as widely known as those which make her winters so attractive to tourists from the East. California is now a rival of ¥lorida for the winter travel of the country. The time will come when it will be a rival of Maine and Canada for | the summer travel. Neither at Bar Har- bor, in the Adirondacks, nor along the St. | Lawrence can there be found such pleasant | weather, better outdoor sports or more agreeable company than can be found at our Californian resorts. | It may be long before this fact is under- stood in the East, but it will be learned at the hill tribes of India are enough to|last. In the meantime the wise Califor- make Great Britain regard the whole | nian will enjoy the glory of his own State country as a p'ague on her hands, and not waste time and energy in a search e for summer res rts elsewhere. Lt vs At an interior rose carnival there is to be a flag composed of 500 sckool children. This, for the children, will be a more edi- fying way of getting striped than the old- fashioned subjection to a birch rod. As it is announced that General Weyler has received instructions from Madrid to change his style of campaigninz in Cuba we may expect to hear very soon that he has adopted a new uniform and got a different typewriter. With her troops in full possession of Thessaly it goes without saying that Tur- key has no objection 1o having her right to hold the country discussed as an ace- demicai question by diplomatic lebating | societies from now till never. The foundation of Mission San Jose de- serves to have its centenary celebrated in grand style. Civilization on this coast begau with the missions and we can never give too much bonor to the memory of those who established them. Calhoun’s report concerning the condi- tion of effairs in Cuba confirms all that has been said by the advocates of the in- devendence of 1he island and strengthens the opinlon that our Government shouid interpose its friendly offices for the pur- pose of putting &n end to a useless and | cruel struggle. The people in the temper: ific baving seen an rainbow midnizht sky, ferred the phenomenon to astronomers for | explanation. Mad it been at any ordi- | nary seaside resort the explanation would have been demanded from the com- | pounder of m drink: The Boers have decided to celebrate the | Queen’s jubilee, but they have given | notice that the act 1s to be one of courtesy | and not a recognition of sovereignty. In | other words the Boers assert their inde- | vendence, but sdmit that the jubilee is a | good enough excuse for taking a drink and having a frolic to enliven the sum- mer. Californis offers every variety of sum- | mer resort that can bs desired even by | the most jaded mortal. Mountain and valley, forest and seaside, ull are hers | under their most delightful aspects. Read our advertisements and you will find | among them some resort which will fur- | nish you exactly the summer pleasures you most desire.

It is argued that the true ot jects of Decoration day would then be appreciated in the propar sense, the Sab- bath being, as a general rule, compara- tively free from the distraciions that are nevitable upon hol diys which occur during the week. ‘The suggestion of Judge Tourgee will create discussion ana may find favor in some quarters, but it will hardly have the effect of changing Dacoration day into a Sabbath festival. The people, no matter | what may be said, favor the fixed holiday and witaout a doubt Decoration day will remain a fixed holiday as long as the glo- rious Fourth 1s celebrated as such. Some- body has proposed that we have an Appo- mattox day, with games and jubilation, in case the memorial time is changed. There is bardly any need of discussing a contingency that is so highly improbable, however. We may celebrate Appumattox if we choose, but Decoration day will con- tinue 10 be recognized on the 30th of May. A HEARTY WELCOME 'WAITS. According to present indications, the gathering of Christian Endeavorers in San Francisco next month will be aston- Armies of them are coming to us from the North and tue East and the South. These are glad tidings. No matter how great the multi- tudes, the proverbial California hozpitality will be found equal to the occasion. Too many of the Endeavorers cannot come, and they cannot stay too long. From Pennsylvania alone a delegation of 1000 is assured, and tLe transpor:ation man- agers in other Eastern States scnd equally enthusiastic reports. A while ago it was estimated that 25,000 | members would attend the big conven- tion in July. Now it is believed that those figures are too small by far.

The following editorial from the Cleve- land Plaindealer of recent date conveys a delightiul message to the people of the Sunset Shore. If you desire to kuow what kind of Christians the Endeavorers are—whether they customarily wear long faces or believe in going through life with smiling countenances and being happy while doing good—whether they are be- d the times or fully abreast of this en- lightened age—just read what tbis Cleve- land editor has to *ay about them Thousands upon thousands of Clevelanders will remember the great Christian Endeavor Convention which was held in this city in 1894, and what a remarkable body of high- spirited and intelligent young peop'e gathered in the city from all quarters of the continent. Those who expected 1o sce people with sancii- monious faces and airs of exceeding piety were very much surprised to see progressive and energetic young men and women, who were healthy both in mind and bod whose views upon life were wholesome and broad. Cleveland, like some of its predeces- sors among the cities which had the oppor- tunity of entertaining the delegates, dia not correctly estimate the size of tne gath and was i 8 measure unprepared. But it is | 10 the credit of Cleveland that it rose to the occasion and entertaived the del- egates. The convention this year is to be held in San Francisco, and we would advise our San Fran- cisco friends to prepare fora flood. There is Do such thing as measuring this progressive body of eitizens. It is not unlikely to swell the transient population ot San Francisco 50 000 in a single week. It goes withoutsayiog that the City of San Francisco will be delighted with the delegates to the Christian Endeavor Convention es Cleveland was. Let 1t be 50,000, and let it be more, Cali- fornia will welcome them all with oute siretched arms and make them wish to remain forever in the N w World's “promised [and.” Most of them have only heard of California. We want them to see Lhe Golden State, and taste its rare fruite and behold its wealth of flowers and view the beauty and grandeur of the country upon which Nature has 0 lav- ished her bounties. Let them come once 1o the Balboa shore, and in after years nothing can keep them uway. MISSION SAN JOSE. With civic parade and jubilation, with religious pomp and ceremonies, music of bands and songs of choirs, with picnics and barbecues, on this day will be cele- brated the centenary of Mission San Jose. tis fitting that such recognition should be accorded to such events.

Where they planted their banner, in tke shelter of hilis or by inland streams or on the borders of our bays, villages and cities—the proudest cities of the sundown shore—were des- tined to rise and expand. In tbe ve | nomenclature of these cities and villages they have a lasting monument.

Mission San Jose, located in the present couaty of Alameds, was founded on Trinity Sunday, June 11, 1797. The origi- nal building, however, did not withstand the ascaults of time and a more substan- tial structu re was raised and now marks the spot where Padre Lasuen 100 years ago solemnly dedicated the mission “to Joseph, the spiritual spouse of the Holy Virgin.” Centenaries of three other California missions will be held during the present year, and no doubt each of these celebra- tions will compare with that of the Mis- sion San Jose in elaborateness.

AVOCATIONS OF GREAT MEN, The death of Alvan G. Clark, the eldest son of the founder of the famous firm of Alvan Clarz & Sons, recalls to mind cer- tain interesting facts with reference to Alvan Clark the elder and to the way in he became the world’s greatest manufacturer of lenses for the larzest telescopes. Alvan Clark was the son.of a poor farmer in Massachusetts and was thrown upon age of 22 years he became a <alico en- At the | | graver in the cotton-print miils of Lowell. | This vocation gave scope for his talents as an artist, which he conceived to be the main business of his li‘e, and for nearly twenty years he fullowed the profession ‘While so occupied and as a retief from the labors of his stu- dio he took up the avocation of an ama- teur astronomer at the age of about 40 years. Kinding it difficult to procure ienses of sufficient clearness and power he commeneed making his own. It was not long before the astronomers of the world discovered a genius in the art of lensmaking in the person of Alvan Clark, and what had been engaged in by him as a mere avocation became the en- grossing occupation of his Jater years. He founded the great firm of Alvan Clark & Sons, which during the past quarter of a century has made the largzest and most | verfect lenses employed in the science of astronomy. The crowning work of Alvan Clark the elder was the great 36-inch giass of the Lick telescope. His death occurred during the year of its comple- | tion, in 1887, and his sons, who inharited much of his genius, have since that time conducted the operations of the firm. In this connection another apt illustra- tion may be given ot the avocations of great men, by which they bave gained a larger meed of fame than was possible from the main business of their lives. One of the most famous astronomers of the present time is Professor Burnham of Chicago. For a number of years Pro- fessor Barnham foliowed the business of a court stenographer and took up the subject of astronomv as a relief from the labors of his profession. While so en- gaged he became the pos: Alvan Clark’s lenses and by its use aston- ished the world of science with his pecu- liar skill in the discovery and classifica- tion of ‘“double stars, Through an essay upon this subject, written by Pro- fessor Burnham and read before the Royal Society in London, he was suddenly lifted into fame, and the science which he dopted as an avocation and followed as an amateur Las given him a world-wide repulation as one of the ablest astronc- mers of the nineteenth century, There are many illustrations to be found ssor of one of | | € ass iegisintion of McKin.eyism. | upon the pages of histery of men who have risen to the highest fame through arts which they have exercised aside from the chosen vocation of their lives. They teach an instructive lesson, not only to youth, but also to those of ma- turer years, by showing how seeds of genius may slumber and how they may be deveioped by giving freedom to the intellect at all times to fullow its natural bent.

Wingate, U. & N.. who died in Boston a few dsys since, was well known on this coast as the command ng officer of the Monongahels and Ranger in 1838-91. He joined the navy in 1863 as an acting ensigu and In 1868 was, with other yolunteer officers, absorbed in the regular navy taking bis rank beow those who had entered the Naval Acad- emy prior to his entry inthe navy. After thirty-three years’ service he only reached the grade of commander, while thirty-five of his juniors by six years had either become captaius or ranked him in hisgrade. It was his misfortune to be wkat the regulars, or Annapolis grad- uates, deniominated the volunteers, 8 “mustang.” He was, however, a good officer and a gen- tleman. He was of fine appearance, and an e.pecial favorite with the Iadies. His desire to £0 10 any length to please the gentler sex led to an incident at Mare Island which at the time cansed considerable comment in Vallejo, but for which the commandant of the yard was really respoosible. : Wingate ha 1 returned from his crufse in the Ranger and the ship was tied up alongside the seawa'l. In conformity with custom the captain gave & party on board ship to which all | the ladies on the yard irom the southernmost point to Dublin were invited. It was purely & | Davy social, a very swell affair and no civilians were present. The event came cff on & warm | dav in July; there was scar ely any breez: and an awning coverea the ship from stem to taff rall. On the forecastle the blue jackers were huddied logether criticising the select avsembly which had taken possession of the rest of the ship, and the Independence band plyaed patriotic airs. by the hospitabie commander, and for & little while there was nothing to mar the pleasure. Suddenly, however, there was a down-draught of air, & puff of smoke and a quantity of soot “The soot settled down on the faces and costumes of the merry compan made its appearance under the awning. The aisgust was general when it was observed that the s00i, without respect 1o sex or rank, had located on the perspiring faces and Immaculate white dresses and clothes of the party. Ono look under the awning located the source of the | annoyaunce, for the smoke came from the boilersof the Yards and Docks building, distant about 300 feet to windward of the Ranger. Peading Captain Wingate's trip to the commandant’s office, to see what could be done, hi | company went below decks. At the commodore’s office the captain ponred his compiaint sympathetic ears, for the commodore’s daughter was a guest on the Ranger. The difficulty was how to overcome the beast.y nuisance. The fitful draught of air sucked the smoke under the Ranger's awnings, and there was no guarantee that it wouid not follow the ship if her moorings were snifted. To abandon the sceial party was entirely out of the question, and so the commodore decided to shut down work at the offending shop during the afternoon. Or- ders were issued (0 the fireman to bauk his fires and take care that no smoke issued from that | smokestack. | The workmen in the joiner-shop, machine-shop and blockshop did mot mind it when | the several machine tools cessed running.
