The falvationists and the Evangelists hold regular street meetings every evening. ‘As soon as one Party of these outdoor: religionists is thruugh the other begins.‘ At present there are no singers in the Salvation Army here, but the four male members who nightly appear try to sing, and their vocal efforts are like unto the music of a heavy wagon -wheel grating against the brakeblock, so far.as harmony is concerned. The Evangelists are better singers aud better talkers and receive more attention from the crowd. gen eee A Fine Rain. There were.two or three light showers last night. At 10 o'clock today a regular rain set in and everything in the way of vegetation received a thorough soaking. The storm is rather late in getting here but’ it will be of great benefit tu the foothill ranchers and even down #s far as Wheatland and Marysville. It is a glorious rain and two weeks ago would have saved the wheat crop of the lower counties, which in many places is a failure. . Died at Forest Hill.

Mineral Display—its Cost. San Francisco, April 23, 1894, © Eprror Transorier:—I have for several days been making a business of viewing the sights out at Sunset City, going about. i: methodically and conscientiously. Of th: acres and acres of thingsI have seen and heard while so employed, no exhibit ha: had greater interest for me than that of th: big and little kickera, The dizplay o! them is neither large nor at all dangerous. but it keeps up a-racket ‘beside which th: discordant din of the Leather-lunged barkerson the Midway is as soothing as th softest and sw-etest strains of an wolia: harp. The most conspicuous figure ofth: collection is the Daily Examiner, which ha for once in its career undertaken a bigge: task than it can execute. The Fair goe right along day after day, growing in magnitude and beauty and. attendancedespite the open opposition of that paper to its ustallishment, and the continual crafty effort: it has ever since been makiug to bring it t4 premature and ignominious end. I hav 1 yet heard but one explanation of the Exsminer’s campaign—a campai,n which . i successfully waged would result in greager injury. to this city, State_and—coast thar could be repaired in a dozen years by th. very ablest labors and influence of that widely read newspaper which has in mos: other matters than those pertaining to thi: enterprise been the friend of the péople ana @ path-finder to progress and enlightenment . That explanation makes it appear that th: Examiner is willing to sacritice the Fair i: orcer te crush in the ruins the political anc social and business ambitions of Mr. de Young. Ifthis be the, correct interpreta tion of its motives, its stock of astutenes must be getting low. All of our peopk who know anything know that had it not been for de Young they would have had m Midwinter Fair, and they feel duly grateful to the projector. They do not howeve: for an instant feel that they are under obligations to reciprocate by making him a United States Senator or anything else tha: he is not titted to be. If the Faingge!ps hin: in personal or political way, it will be because in his connection with it he has demonstrated (as he really seems to be doing, that-heis'a-man of force and push whose executive ability is of a high order. I am told in certain quarters that he hasas Direotor General made. enemies.by the whélesal among those he has been thrown in contact with while acting in his official capacity— that. he has been . autocratig and unfair and even rude in scores of _ instances _ where _-therewas —-not-— the the slightest excuse therefor. This may all be true, and again it may grow solely out of his having performed his duties without fear or favor. Beitasit may, the almost universal opinion inSan Francisco as well as elsewhere is that tne Examiner’s covert warfare on the Fair is unwarranted and unpardonable, The readers of the TRanscriPT have been kept informed by its regular correspondents as to what is to be seen at Sunset City, and how to go about the seeing to the best advantage. Yet none who havé not been there can realize the magnitude and attractions o' the exposition. It is a world to itself, and within its confines are concentrated an array of exhibits fairly representative of the most notable products of the two hemispheres. When one pauses to consider the rapidity of its growth and that it is the ‘achievement of one sparsely settled State, he can but be bewildered ; and if he is a loyal Californian and a genuine American his bosom will swell with pfide and his face beam with gratification. The Chicago Fair was a mighty triumph’ for the United States ; and the San Francisco Fair is a still greater one for California. The superb structures which now loon up in such magnificence on. the sand heaps of the Golden Gate will soon have served the purpose for which they were built, and then be laid waste, and the marvelous exhibits now in them will be scattered far and wide. cational and enlightening influences of these things are imperishable. They give us con-. fidence in our ability to accomplish great undertakings.. They are a demonstration of such resources as, with all the State pride However, the edutypical of Californians, we have not hitherto dared to lay claim to. The lesson they teach has broadened our vision and braced up our nerve, and fitted us for still greater exploits in the times to come. OUR COUNTY EXHIBIT. The citizens of Nevada county have in their mining exhibit something to boast of, . An occasional casual observer who compares it with Tuolumne’s will give the palm to. the latter, which unquestionably excels in the matter of free gold specimens. Experivnced mining men who have no personal interest in the matter tell me though that Nevada county makes the best practical display of all Sontending counties, by very great odds, and this notwithstanding the fact that it has been one of the least expensive in gathering and maintenance. Approximately, the sum of $2,500 was contributed to the fund. Upto date only about half of the money has been paid out and there is nothing owing. There are in the collection some sixty tons of free milling ores, besides innumerable petrifactions, nuggets, and other things inivg to the industry, and the total value of them all is Cops, caused by the sudden chonges of temperature at this season of the year make ‘.
