AN INQUEST.
J. Harrison Dies Suddenl
From Natural Causes.

From Natural Causes.
Coroner Meredith held an inquest yes
terday afternoon upon the body of G. S.
Harrison, a native Of Indiana, 80 years
of age, who died suddenly on Saturday
evening in the Office of the Hoffman
house on Main street. From the testi-
>mony adduced by the witnesses, it was
learned that Harrison registered at the
Hoffman house on February 18th, since
which date he had continued to reside
there. He was apparently in the last
stages ef consumption, and R. D. Ferris,
the proprietor of the hotel. stated that he
expected every morning to hear of his
guest being found dead in bed. as he was
in such feeble condition. On Saturday
morning at IL O'Clock Harrison was
called as usual, and went down to break.
fast. For the balance of the day he sat
in the office by the stove, and about 6
O'clock received ' islt from friend named
Robert Kern, with whom he had been
acquainted for the past eighteen months
About half an hour later Harrison fell
back in his chair, and between his gasps
for breath asked the clerk to call medical
assistance. The latter ran into the
dining-room and notified Ferris, who was
at dinner, and DR.. McCarty was sum.
moned and pillow placed under the
sick mans head. The physician, how.
ever, was unable to relieve the dying
man, and he expired within a few min.
utes after the physician's arrival.
The jury returned verdict of death
from natural causes, in accordance with
the facts.

ANAL aigamated with that of Sanitary Tn.
spector, one OF which could be dispensed
with, and save $720 per annum.
The office of Building Superintendent
seems the most superfluous. The City
Engineer should also be entrusted with
this. The most important work is 'front.'
age lines and ground or first floor levels.
That then is purely an engineers work.
The issuing of building permits as now
done by this official 1 would leave to the
Street Superintendent's clerk. who would
De under the engineer. The next item
OF Importance is that of fire walls in the
fire limits, which could easily be watched
oy the sanitary inspector before referred
to, who should be an educated mason or
bricklayer.
Adverting to the office of Street Super.
intendent, promised to point out why
this office should be under the sole con-
troll of the City Engineer. 1t is we'll
known that the survey and establishing
the grades of streets is engineers work.
Alter that is done what need is there for
Street Superintendent, except to see
the work carried out according to specfi-
cation by the contractors. The person
who prepares the drawings and specifca-
tion for works is the proper one to super.
intend its construction. Therefore it is
the indispensable duty of the engineer to
appoint foreman to see his specifica-
tioHs carried out. To assist him in his
extra Office work tho clerk employed by
the Street Superintendent would be all
that is necessary, at $50 per month, and
the practical foreman at 500 already re-
ferred to.
The foregoing if carried into effect
would entirely dispense with many of
the unnecessary officers and concentrate
the city's work among fewer heads and
thereby insure better administration
of the work entrusted to them, besides
an immense saving of cash to the already
overburdened tax payers. In round
numbers the foregoing reductions would
save the city $50, 900 per annum, or 29
per cent. of taxes. An unprejndiced en-
quirer would say the officers retained
would not then be overworked. When
the City Council entertains retrench-
ment scheme as here set forth the peo-
pie may have their confidence newed
in them, but not before.

THE PASADENA LIBRARY.
II VIII soon Move into the New
RutIdtng.


Building
The Pasadena public library will in a
few months move into its new building,
which for the past two years has been
standing in an unfinished condition on
one of the principal streets OF that city.
This building, which was constructed of
light-colored stone, will, when the in
terror is finished, be quite a handsome
building and will no doubt aid in reviv-
ing the interest of the people, which has
tagged 30 long and prevented the insti-
tuition from assuming its rightful place.
1t is we'll lighted and apparently
we'll ventilated and is capable
of holding at least ten times as many
books as are now cstalogued among the
assets of the library association. 1t is
expected that with the move into its
new quarters the library will pass into
the hands of the city government and be
no longer dependent for its success or
failure to private corporation. The
library was started several years ago,
and Judging from the books now on hand
in the present quarters it hourished for
quite time. Then the construction of
tl0 n0W DdlalDs W6b uAOOA OaACA anu
the funds of the society, under
whose management it then was,
were exhausted in finishing the
exterior of the building. So completely
exhausted were the moneys that for two
years past not new book has been
purchased, and as consequence the list
of subscribers has diminished, and now
it is said that all Pasadena has read
every book on the shelves. Recently
the citizens, determined at least to have
the books moved into the new building,
agitated the question of placing the
library in the hands of the city govern
ment, and for the purpose of finishing
the interior bonds to the amount OF
SO 500 were voted. Of this amount
So 800 is to be expended in preparing the
iaterior for the reception of the books,
for which work bids are to be opened
shortly.
''The designing of the furniture" said
a recent visitor to Pasadena, sis an i'm
portant matter and one that should not
be passed without great deal of study.
Advantage should be taken of all the in
formation on the subject to be obtained
and understand that 30 far those in
charge have not even visited the Los
Angeles public library, which has re-
Gently been fitted up according to the
latest approved plans. The economizing |
Of space, together with the accessibility |
Of the books, are matters that should be
studied carefully, and this cannot be
done except by personal observation.
It seems to me that the parties in charge
should be ready to take ADVANTAGE
If every opportunity that offers, and
'hould move slowly in the matter"
1t is stated that after the furnishing
las been completed there will be moth
ng left on hand for the purchase of
looks, and it is to be expected that the
itizsns of Pasadena will make provision
bon for increasing the number of books
q the shelves, so that when the library
pens in its new quarters it will be in
lch condition as to meet with ap-
roval from every person. As it takes
me for the intelligent purchase of books
is expected that the movement in this
lreetion will commence at once.

A CORY AFFRAY.
Two Bulldogs Applauded WIN
They Chew One Au0ther

They Chew One Another.
About sixty sports assembled in a harm
near the terminus of the Downey avenua
cable yesterday to witness fight he.
tween two ferocious.appearing bulldogs.
Buffer and Tiger. The select assembly
was completed by the latest arrivals
shortly after two O'Clock, and the fight.
which proved to be particularly sang
uinary one, began at the half hour.
Tiger, though the smaller dog. was
greatly the favorite. He was an nm.
pleasant. looking brute, entirely without
beauty. A half-black face was the only
part OF his body which gave variety to
his otherwise dirty white appearance.
Buffer was entirely white, and looked
more gentle and less ready for the frsy
than his eager adversary.
AT the call of time Tiger sprang to
Buffers corner, and after few prelim-
mary growls the dogs grabbed hold of
esch ot.,er with their powerful Jaws, and
held fast for fourteen minutes, save dur
ing short intervals of that time when
either was seeking for some new field OF
his adverssry's anatomy to exploit.
Time was called at the end of ten min
utes, but fourteen had expired before the
dogs could be separated.
After two minutes of sponging, to re.
move the blood, which poured from
wounds upon the jaws and legs of each
dog in copious streams, the second round
began. This was similar to the first in
every respect, except that it left the dogs
in much more chewed-up condition.
At the end of twenty-eight minutes
from the start, Buffer managed
to break away, and walking al
short distance in an attempt to
escape, fell down. His legs looked as
though they had received load of buck
shot at short range. while his jaws and
sides were scanned and laid open by
huge gashes. Tiger was in nearly as de-
plorable a condition. This ended the
fight.
The seance wa characterized by many
passes OF wit among the assembled
''lords of creation" One gentleman,
who "stood bshind" Tiger, offered to bet
$40 to So on his favorite. Another gen.
tlemsn, who had position near Buffers
corner, offered to bet So so that he could
whip the former gentleman, and the
offer was about to be taken when friends,
who desired to see more red blood
spilled than would result if the
affair degenerated into mere
prize fight, interfered. Outside
of several such incidents as this, the
gathering was entirely harmonious and
broke up in exceeding good humor
Considerable money changed hands on
the result of the fight.

ASTHMA.

1t is common error to suppose every disease
which Is attended by oppressed bres'h hing to be
in Consum ption and Pneumonis, Just as we do
in Asthma, only that in these diseases it is al

parOXySms.
Asthma is spasmodic disease of the lungs.
which manifests itself in periodic attacks or
fits 1t comes on suddenly and is attended
with great dlficulty OF breathing while it lasts,
put twhen the attack is over the patient breathes

given to different forms of this disease Emphy-

culiar variety OF Asthma which occurs at a

symptoms, but practically these distinctions are
of very little value. 1t does not matter to the
patient which form of Asthma he has, since his

expectoration becomes yellow, and we call it
bronchial. In another it is light and we cell it
dry; When he coughs Up clear water, with a
white froth Oh the surface, we say he has
Humoral Asthma. In Nervous Asthma there is
very little expectOratiOn of any kind. Hsy

the nose and the eyes before the Asthma fit
comes on. In Emphysema the expectoration is

It is foolish conceit of many people to
bel belieye that II they hay have @ Asthma they cannot
posite. They are more liable to fall into Con.

for this city prove to all who read them that
great numbers lose their lives every year by
this foul destroyer of our homes.
Witt out courage and perseverance, nothing Ia

skillful treatment. Asthma can be cured even
after the lungs are extensively diseased

How They Escaped From Jail and Came

Fred and Eddie Cafere, the two Victoria
boys arrested here Sunday night, are still
in custody. No word has as yet been re-
ceived from Chief Shepard. of Victoria
The Victoria Cotoaist of Saturday, July 5,
has the following concerning the two boys:
Had the little Cafere boys reached
manhood's estate the city would have to
fear in them three Of the most desperate
and dangerous of criminals. As il is, at
the ages of 0, II and ii. they surpass in
nerve and cunning many prison
birds OF mature years. Yesterday
the two elder boys, who have taken
up their quarters at the reformatory,
were sweeping out the corridors, when
the eldest saw q chance 20 skip over the
garden wall There was no one looking,
the high fence was easy to scale. and in q
minute he was off and away. His absence
was soon noticed. and search was insti-
tuted. The bird had flown. Then the
searchers extended the field OF their opera
tons, and it was discovered that the Jail
breaker had visited his home and secured
his little brother. with whom he took to the
woods near sc" battery. This piece of
bush was beaten for the boys, but fruit
lessly: and the officers are now waiting for
them to get hungry and come out on the
forage, when they will be re-captured."
