In Memeriam.

Katie Eva Renshaw, aged eight years and
eight months, second daughter of Samuel
and Alice Renshaw, died November End,
1889, at her home near Montrose, Md.
Death, with his "sickle KEEN" while reap
ing widely the "bearded grain" has gath
cred flower, a pure, lovely bud, to unfold
in Gods "far away home OF the soul"
AS she lay, in all her childhood purity,
and lovelness, we thought how like she
must be to one of whom it was written =
"She seems a creature fresh from the hand
of God and waiting for the breath of life"
not one who had lived and suffered death
But a short while since she was at her
desk, in Montrose school, tavorite among
her schoolmates and well-beloved by her
teacher, because of her sweetly modest and
gentle spirit and pure, affectionate heart
We loved her. The Father, who loves bet
ter than we can understand, had greater
need of her, and in her childish grace and
innocence has claimed her for his own; an
other pure, sparkling gem for His crown.
During her short illness she spoke of her
school friends, holding them and her teach
er in loving memory and calling them by
name.
When she asked for her white dress to be
brought that she might be made ready to
go home," the loving, bleeding hearts of
those who watched by her knew she would
soon wear the pure robe of Christs Right
eousness, the folds of which CLEAN silver
bright in the light OF Gods love beyond the
gates.
A merry, winsome child and loving sis
ter has been taken from once happy home,
and our school is unutterably sad because
of voice that is still. Ours Is a common
grief.
Katie was laid to rest in Bethesda GENE
terry, Monday afternoon, November 4th,
1889, Rev. Alfred Graham officiating.
With tender, reverent memories we lay
this chaplet of love with the Autumn flow
ers that are strewn lovingly on the newly
made grave of our pupi! and playmate.
"My Lord has need of these flowers gay,
The Reaper said and smiled
Dear tokens of the earth are they
Where He was once child"
"Shall have naught that is iair?" saith
He.
WHEREAS, an al-wise Providence has
permitted the reaper, Death, to pluck from
our midst cur winseme schoolmate and
friend, Katie Eva Renshaw, a studious, gen
tie spirit and loving playlellow, therefore
be it
Resoloed, That IA pail of sadness over
shadows our school, and we look at katle's
vacant desk with sorrow, while we bow to
the Hand that "doth not willingly grieve or
af1iict"
ReSOloed, That our hearts throb in SYM
pathy with those of parents and sisters, trust
ing Gods comfort will fall richly on them,
and that "He who maketh all our bed in
Sickness" will restore health and peace to
the home our Katie has left TO live with God
in Heaven.
Resolped, That a copy of these resolutions
be sent t. her family and entered upon our
school journal.

The Late Robert H. Ricketts,.

Mr.. Robert H. Ricketts,, who died at his
residence, at Derwood, on the 3lst of Octo-
Der, of pneumonia, was the last of the six
sons of the late Marcha ant Ricketts,. In his
death the community loses a quiet, indus
trious citizen and his family devoted hus-
band and father, who was ever earnest in
his struggle to maintain the comfort and
welfare of his loved ones. He was a man of
splendid physical constitution, and intelli-
gent in enterprise, and at or near the time
of his death he was the contractor for the
mail route between Derwood and Redland,
and other contracts connected with the pub
lie improvements in Rockville. Always
alert to make honest money and active to
push his enterprise in this direction AS
farmer he WAS cOnspicuously good mana
ger and Industrious, besides being gifted with
IA large share of that rare talent, the faculty
to plan and execute. In his manners he
was agreeable and modest, and in his opn
ions Intelligent and positive. He greatly
deplored his fathers unfortunate system in
his early training, which neglected his edu
cation and turned him upon the battle of
life not nearly so we'll equipped as he was
entitled TO be from the vigorous and solid
character of his mind. The expression of
his face was grave and afforded little indi-
cation of the kindness Of his disposition,
but he was man of honest purposes and
intentions and friendly, neighborly spirit,
and any deficiency which he may have pre-
scented was more the effect Of the want OF
liberal training than natural disposition
He was devoted to his wife and children,
and exhibited pitiable sorrow at the death
of his son who died and the most sleepless
solicitude during the illness of his younger
son, Clarence, who is left to mourn the death
of a fond and devoted father. He made a
will 10 favor of his faithful and devoted
wife, and to his children, whom he has en-
couraged to learn their books as well as use
their hands, he leaves that best of all in
heritance, the recollection of his earnest in
dustry and his spotless integrity.
He died in the sixty-second year of his
age and was buried in the grave yard OF the
family at Derwood.

Universlty Notes.

The University Church auditorium
was about half filed on Friday evening,
the occasion being the reception to DR..
w. S. Matthews and wife, the new
pastor Of the M. E. Church. Pre- sident
Bovard, of the University, made the first
address of welcome in behalf of the
church. 1t was marked success. He
was sure the whole church and congrega-
tion greeted him with the greatest cor
diality, and he had no hesitsncy in for
mally extending to him their heartiest
welcome. He was thoroughly assured
that the glorious doctrines OF the Bible,
unmixed with the subtle theories OF
"modern thinkers" in fact the old doc
trines taught us in our childhood, and
those emphasized in particular by the
Methodist Episcopal Church would be
preached by the present incumbent OF
this pulpit. He was hsre by the unani-
nous request of the official board, and
by the hearty concurrence of the appoint
ing powers.
AT the close of this address perform
ance Of vocal music was given by quar-
teit5 of female yeices.
Dean Cherringten was then introduced
and spoke in behalf OF the College Of
Liberal Arts. He said the entire fac

Tne sewer Question Discussed
Robbery of a store.
EDITORS HERALD-The action OF Pasa
dena in serving papers on the people
residing on Garfield avenue, to compe
them to allow the sewer pipe to be laid
resulted in call for mass meeting, to
be held in the Jones block. In response
to the call about seventy persons were in
attendance. After little consultation
the sense of the meeting was declared te
be to fight the question to the end anC
preserve the reputation, health ano
beauty of this community, by keeping
Pasadena's offal from being deposited in
this neighborhood. Mr.. George Patton
said that he and Mr.. Bishop would take
care of the suits as to the location of the
farm, aud the people of Alhambra de-
clared that they would battle against
laying the pipe alcng the principal thor
oughfare. Fer this purpose COM
mittee MAS appointed, consisting of
Messrs. Gray, Stuart and Adams,
to take charge of affairs and look
after the interests of Alhambra. A SUBJ
scription list was passed around, which
received popular patronage and contin-
ues to increase in amount when pre-
sented to those who were not present at
the meeting.
Some time Tuesday night robbers
entered a dry goods store at San Gabriel
and secured handsome sum of money,
along with q considerable amount OF
clothing and miscellaneous articles,
amounting in all to about seven hun
dred dollars. The robbers concealed
some of the goods near the cemetery,
and Wednesday night desired to remove
them to safer place, but were discov-
cred in the act by the Constable, who
fired upon them, but they returned the
fire and succeeded in making their
escape. A woman was heard to say that
she knew who the ROBBERS were, but
later on denied it. AShe was placed under
arrest and charged with completely in
the crime. She goes by the name Of
Curose.
The other evening, as the rapid transit
was coming from Los Angeles, sparks
from the engine started fire in the
brush along the tract, in MIR. McDoDald's g
ranch. Nothing of value was burned.
The Alhambra school opened two
weeks ago with large attendance. Last
Monday the new school in San Gabriel
was opened. There are three teachers
there at present, and they have all they
can do. They are Mr.. Mathews, Miss
Quinn and Miss King.
Friday fire started in the stubble in
East San Gabriel and if it had not been
30 promptly extinguished it would have
done serious damage.
Last Saturday evening very pleasant
party was given at the residence of Mrs.
E. L. Mayberry, the occasion being the
celebration of her son Ned's eighteenth
birthday. Many were the friends that
assembled and Joy held the reins from
s in the evening until midnight.

pastor, and congratulated the students
on being under the pastoral care of q
man thoroughly acquainted with student
life and struggles. So far as his own
preferences are concerned, he could not
be better pleased, and when not called
away on the Sabbath, should occupy
these pews with his family. So far as
the community is concerned, the Doctor
is not an experiment, as he has been
among the people for the last two years.
The speech was enthusiastically cheered.
The reply of DIR. Matthews was in few
words, but it was naultum in parro. He
was deeply touched by the speeches of
welcome, but, though he was painfully
conscious of his weakness, he hoped to
meet, in some measure, by the help of
grace, the expectations of the people.
