dences of the rapidity with which things
have changed in Los Angeles county is
to be found in the history of Pasadena.
Somewhere ABOUT the turn of the year
1S72.73, Mr.. d. NJ. Berry, an Indian
apolis newspaper man, who was after
wards for years on the staff OF this jour
nal, was sent out to lock up a suitable
location for colony. After going thor
oughly over Southern California, he
concluded that Pasadena, then without
name, was just the right spot. There
was the crystal wster of the DEVILS
Gate, which supplies the fluid for irri-
eating purposes, to recommend it. He
struck bargain with DR.. Griffin, the
owner of the San Pasqual ranch, for half
of it, which was purchased for little
over SO an acre, and the Indiana colony
WAS located there. The people of Los An
geles at the time thought that the Doctor
was getting very high price for his land.
| The writer rode over the tract to pic
mic at the DEVILS Gate. in April of 1873
and, at that time. the only house in the
whole region where Pasadena now stands
was the old 'dobie San Pasqual ranch
house. Some of that eight dollars an
acre land has since sold for as high as
| 500 900 in corner lots, and Pasadena
now claims population of $4,000 souls

THE evidences are becoming very
abundant that the people of wealth and
distinction are at last beginning to appre-
ciate the advantages and charms of a
residence at Santa Monica. Senator
John P. Jones has erected at that place
a palatial residence, on the corner oi
Ocean and Nevada avenues. Ocean
avenue has been put in good shape, and
is aligned by a quite creditable class o
residences. The fact is that people vii
wake up some fine morning and find tha
it will cost a heap of money to buy villa
site in any of the popular Los Angeles
seaside resorts. When the figures a
Newport, Cape May, Atlantic City, Lont
Beach and Bar Harbor are considered, al
eligible lot can be had at Santa Monies
as cheap as dirt. This will not Away
be the case, and the indications are tina
first.class revival is ahead for that pop
ular resort this Summer. The Nevadi
Senator has at last taken thorough in

no one can make things move in a livelie
manner than he.

married. improvement, purchasers hav-
ing. lost the timidity which signalized
them month or tive ago. The volume
of property transactions is steadily inn
proving. Some ingenious persons are in
the habit Of referring this to the closing
out of old transactions. II this be true,
then the people are settling up at twice
the old rate. But it is not true. The
whole past year has been one of liquida-
ton, and most of the old deals have
been adjusted in some fashion. The fact
is that snap bargains have been lying
around here for months past, and shrewd
people have picked them up, and are
engaged in that pleasing and profitable
pastime now. The turn of the tide in
real estate matters was marked when
Captains Ainsworth and Thompson

"It is," said he, "a very common Gus
tom in China for thousands of years past
for rich men and women to have not
only their own coffins, but their parents
and their sons all ordered in one batch
at wholesale rates, together with their
funeral garments, as well as cooking
utensils and other provisions for the
other world"
AS to the cost of that coffin at Will
mington, said All Cheong, laughingly,
that was nothing compared to rich
mans coffin that he once made at Can
ton, China. 1t took him and two other
artists Just three years to finish it, and
the price paid for the material alone was
over 5, 900 taels, or 81 800, and the work
nearly SIC, 1000 more, which in this coun-
try for the same work would probably be
about five times as much. making mate

Our representative in the Assembly
seems to have a decided contempt for
the adage that burnt child breads the
fire. In spite OF his recent hard ex'
perience, he has introduced bill that
will bring the whole female sex
down on his devoted head. Hit
measure makes it unlawful foi
ladies to wear in places of public
amusement hats that are over three
inches higher than the crown of the
head, or more than three inches beyond
its "lateral circumference" The penalty
is fine and imprisonment; but the ac
does not apply to females more thar
thirty-fve years of age. Mr.. Damror
may have meant this bill for joke, bu
the Assembly has accepted it in dead
earnest, and will pass it. Now let hin
brace up and meet the storm. Whilst
the bill is meritorious, it will raise up s
host of avengers against it's author.

The most important are as follows: De-
claring the sense of the United States
with respect to foreign control of the
Panama Canal; the Blair Educational
bill; the Dependent Pension bill; pro-
viding for the inspection of meats and
prohibiting the importation OF adulter-
ated articles; the Swamp Land bills; to

Tor compulsory education of Indian child

mineral lands to aliens; to make tele-

to ratify the Southern Ute Indians

Following are among the other inn
poTtant measures which also came to

New Mexico and Wyoming Territories !;
to declare trusts unlawful; to promote

NAVAL BATTLE.

Encounter Betweeu the olga and
an American ship of War.
KEEL, March 3.-A rumor is current in
naval circles that conflict has taken
place in Samoan waters between an
American man-of-war and the German
corvette Olga. 1t is alleged that the
American vessel fired the first shot.
WASHINGTON, March 3.-Secretary
Bayard said tonight that he had not
heard anything of the reported conflict
between German and American war ves-
sells in Samoan waters. He regarded such
conflict as highly improbable, as there
was an understanding that all belligerent
action in Samoa should be suspended,
pending the conference to be held at
Berlin. He also pointed out that it was
hardly possible that information of ouch
state of affairs would be known at Keil
before the news reached Berlin or Wash
ington.
BERLIN, March 3.-In official circles
nothing has been heard of the rumored
engagement between the German and
American warships in Samoa.

Our Sacramento correspondent says
that the bill to divide Los Angeles county
will become law if il can be raised from
the file of the Senate. He makes some
very extraordinary revelations about the
influences that have been successfully
invoked to help the measure through.
The people of Santa Ana have presented
a strong and aggressive front on this sub.
iect, and their attitude presents striking
contrast to the apathy and vacillation OF
our own immediate citizens in the matter.

The coal combination in Pennsylvania
has RESTRICT ed the output of the mines by
shutting them down two days in each
week. 1t goes without saying that
the wages of the miners are shut
down also. But the prices OF coal
will be kept up. 1t is the old
story. And yet Mr. Carnegie would
have the people believe that trusts are a
mere "bugaboo," that combinations to
control prices of universal necessities are
impossible, and that keeping out COM
peting soft coal by taxing it has no effect
in bulwarking the anthracite ring. The
people are learning better.

ACowardIy Assault.

Ell PAso, March 3.-At Ysleta, Texas
town twelve miles south of here, this
morning, Assistant Postmaster j. L.
Krouse was assaulted by w. H. Harris,
a nephew of Senator Harris, of Tennes-
see. Harris had been sending for his
mail habitually after office hours,
and in polite attempt to COR
rect such irregularities Krouse
incurred his anger. This morning,
while Krouse was opening the mail box
Harris came up behind him and dealt
him two severe blows on the head with
pistol. The third blow, Krouse, though
stunned, warded off. The pistol fell in
the street. Then followed a rough-and-
tumble fight between the two, in which
Harris was worsted. The people OF
Ysleta are very indignant at Harris,
while Krouse, whose wounds are very
serious, has the sympathy of all.
