The Pasadena sewer Problem ind
HIS Bearing Upon Its NeighbOr
city.
EDITORS HERALD-The Pasadena sewer
problem is one which now occupies the
attention Of our citizens. All Alhambra
asks of the "Crown" is the right to con-
meet, which will not entail Pasadena any
additional expense whatever; privilege
that will only partially compensate for
the detrimental effects incident to the
location of the farm in proximity to the
settled district. From the present aspect
of affairs trouble is anticipated, but it is
to be hoped that an amicable settlement
will be brought about.
The reception rendered the efficient
corps of teachers of the public school,
Mr.. @. E. Jones and Misses Thayer,
Foster and Chase, by Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Rice, at their residence on First street,
Friday evening, was a social event not
soon to be forgotten by the participants.
The feature of the evening, progressive
conversation" was heartily entered into
by all, and the novelty thoroughly ap-
preciated. After ample justice had been
done to the bountiful refreshments, the
remainder of the time was passed most
pleasantly with games and charades,
when the assemblage broke up with
many expressions Of a most delightful
Ievening.
The following were present: Misses
Thayer, Foster, Chase, Hathaway,
Stuart, Albertson, Tompson, Phelan,
Tonneson, Parshall, Halstead, Fleming,
James; and Messrs. Jones, Tompson,
Stuart, May berry, Morehead, Halstead
and Devereux.
The correspondent is informed, upon
good authority, that, ere many days
elapse, wedding will be celebrated in
Alhambra, the principals of which are
leading lights of our little CHURCH" but,
as the informant refused to divulge the
names of the contracting parties, and the
community will, therefore, rest in peace
full anticipation.
With evident sense of superior knowl-
edge, the San Gabriel correspondent
takes the writer to task for designating
the dancing class as the Alfalfa Club, and
endeavors to construe the Greek letter
Alpha, into the Latin name for some
bovine of antediluvian origin. The
writer, however, readily comedies to
such undisputable authority, and if the
appellation Phenecisn OK strikes har-
moniously upon the ear Of our brother
correspondent, his singular taste in the
future will be grstified.

The Representatives Will Visit This
city During the Summer.
Some time ago the Board of Directors
of the Chamber of Commerce decided to
send an invitation to all the members of
the Congressional delegation from this
State to meet here upon the 10Th of this
month, to look into the improvements
which have been made in this section,
and to confer with General Vandever
about the Federal building.
Secretary Higgins has had word from
several members of the delegation in
answer to his letter inviting them to
come down and be entertained and re-
ceive the freedom of the city.
w. w. Morrow writes from San Fran
cisco to say that the members of the
delegation recently had a conference in
San Francisco and discussed the matter
of visit to Los Angeles. They de-
cided that they would come, but they
thought best to defer the visit until
some time later than the present month,
as none OF them can find convenient
leisure. In the month of August or Sep
TENDER the Committee of Senator'S who
constitute the Arid Land Commission
will travel over the State, and the Con-
gressional delegation will accompany
them. They will visit this city, and the
representatives, will make their visit at
the came time. The last Congress voted
quarter of million of dollars to be
used for experiments in irrigating the
arid lands of the country. 1t will be dis
tributed to the various States pro rata to
their square mileage of arid land, and
California will come in for a considerable
Gum. This Commission will determine
the locality in which it is to be en-
ployed.
All of the Representatives who write
express feeling of profound interest in
the prosperity of this part of the State,
and promise to be always on the lookout
| to promote it's advance.

Death by The 0uillotine.

Abt,e Franre. chaplain Of La Roquette
Prison, has just communicated report
on his ministrati0n to the French Gov
eminent. The Able believes that no
other punishment which may be sub
stituted for execution by the "guillOtine"
will have 40 fear reproducing an effect as
the terrible instrument OF justice ut the
service Of the public head.inan. In his
report the Able draws realistic picture
Of the suspense In which the doomed muI..
derer lives from day to day, until he
hears either his summons to the scafiold
or the news OF "A reprieve. Nearly all the
murderers seek consolation more or less
In religion, according to the degree Of
education which they have received, and
none Of them give up the hope Of a re-
prieve until the last moment. The con-
demned criminals rarely or never sleep
when they know that their time Is APP
preaching, or II they do 1t is only to doze
of into n horrible dream, from which
they jump up all lvid with fear and
dread. Sleeping or waking the ''guillo-
tine" the tunstfe, the headsnan and his
assistants are for ever present to their
imaginations. Out OF eleven persons
whom the Able attended during his six
years Of Office only three were really
asleep when their summons came.
On the whole, the French system Of
keeping criminals In suspense for weeks
or months IL "A severe one, but neither
the prison chaplin, who considers 1t his
duty always to buoy up the doomed men
with hope, nor the magistrates and police
officials who deal with the dangerous
Glasses, are inclined to recommend its
alteration In any OF its details.

Care In the Use Of Explosives.

The terrible dynamite explosion, the
particulars Of which appear In our tele-
graph columns this morning. furnishes
another evidence Of the great care that
should b~ used In the handling Of such
dangerous substances. Factories en-
Raged In the manufacture and use OF ex-
plosIves should be provided with every
possible safeguard. The greatest atten-
tIon, too, should be given 10 their en-
viron.nents. They should not be allowed
To stand In immediate proximity TO
other buildings. Ia the particular case
under consideration almost criminal
esrelessDess seems to have pre-
vailed. Not only was the fac
tory permitted to stand close to other
buildings those buildings were large
warehouses stored with oil. Now that
many lives have been lost and a vast
amount Of valuable property destroyed,
the public awakes to full realization Of
the extraordinary lack Of precaution
which was permitted to exist. II private
individuals will persist In disregarding
the lessons taught BY such disasters, the
Law should take the matter vigorously in
hand and In the interests Of the public
welfare compel such places to be sur
rounded with proper safeguards.

New York and Liverpool was reduced by
the Baltic Of the Collins line to . days -
hour and ~ minutes, and Ave year, later
the Scotia still further reduced the time To-
days, II hours and 81 minutes, since
which time there has been . steady pro
gress In the matter Of recosd breaking,
until we have the time made last week By
the Columbia Of an average speed Of 10 IL
miles per hour across the ocean. During
this period it must also be Remembered
that there has been greater comparative
growth made In the size Of the vessels 20
that the reduction In time that has been
accomplished is far more than mere
quickening Of the speed Of vessels Of the
sine Of the Sirius When the Cunard line
was established between Liverpool and
Boston, in 1910. Mr.. Cunard. afterwsrd
sir Samuel, at first contemplated the use
Of vessels Of only 800 tons, equipped with
engines Of 300 horse power. The City Of
Paris referred to above Ia Of 1855 tons and
equipped With engines Of 1900 horse
power. The old paddle wheel has given
place to the twin screw propeller for
ocean service, aud equal changes have
been made In marine boilers and engines.
The pressure Of steam which began with
Ave pounds to the square inch Of boiler
surface has now with the use Of steel
reached $50 pounds, and the single cylin-
der engine Is giving way to the triple ex-
pansion engine. With such progress in
the line Of improvement ii ia rash to as
sert that the limit has been reached. but
along what line the changes OF the next
half century will occur it is difficult to
estimxte unless IL be la the reduction ex-
penses for maintenance Of power. The
consumption Of 100 tons Of coal per day,
a. Il now the case on the ocean racers, Is
= vast expense and is increased out OF
proportion 10 the decrease In the time
made across the ocean. The triple ex-
pansion engine ia a move toward economy
In this direction, and that charges may
be reduced for passengers and freight
progress along this line will undoubtedly
become the future chief object Of study.
