The Ranaone Home.

EDITORS HERALD-Realizing that Lol
Angeles contains many homeless women
through the subtle powers of those
who understand tempting the unfortu
nate and unsophisticated into forbidden
ways, the W. G. 7. U. has adopted ths
Ransoms Home organized over yea,
ago, by the Social Purity League.
The Union desires through this home
to provide refuge for tempted or erring
women, who wish to be saved from evi
or can be induced to forsake life of sin
also for friendless women until some
honest employment can be procured fol-
them.
Means will be required for this work
but the ladies of the Union have as.
sumed the responsibility, trusting to q
generous and sympathetic public to as.
sist them in this laudable OBJ.
ject. The demand for such home
Is imperative, and the divine command
to those who have been sheltered and
saved from the terrible temptations and
evils which beset thousands of our
women enioins them to seek and to save
the lost, and to help the tempted and
sorely tried.
The home is situated on Temple and
Bonnie Brae streets, and is provided with
an efficient matron in Mrs. DR.. Beach,
and has already several inmates.
Mrs. Strohm, No. 19 West Hill street,
will gratefully receive any contributions
and give all necessary information.
For admission to the home apply to

terday Afternoon.
The Board OF Public Works yesterday
afternoon looked into several matters
brought before it by property-owners.
The first place visited was the Capitol
mills, the proprietors of which desire a
storm drain to carry off the water, which
they allege threaten to food the mills.
1t was stated that the proposed storm
drain was to be constructed with the
money to be raised by the sale of bonds,
if they are voted. 1t was informally
decided to refer the matter to the City
Engineer.
Also street across the river was Wis.
tied. Here the property-owners desire
the old name, Pleasant avenue, to be
restored. and the matter will be referred
to the City Engineer to prepare an ordi-
nance changing the name.
The vicinity of Evergreen cemetery
was next visited. Alexander Dallas de-
sires to be given the gravel for grading
the street. The m after will probably be

There are number of obstructions on
the sidewalk on San Pedro street, be.
tween Fifth and Sixth, in the shape OF
telegraph and telephone poles, and the
citizens desire them removed. 1t is
probable the matter will be referred to
the Street Superintendent.

Ii it is true that "money makes the

Redondo. During the past year the
Rsdondo Beach Company and the Re-
dondo Hotel and Railway Company
have expended more than q million dol
lars to beautify and make accessible that
delightful seaside. A magnificent hotel,
now nearly completed, has been built,
new docks built and old ones extended
20 ships of thousand tons DOW lie safely
beside them to receive and discharge car
goes; railroads have been projected and
built and old ones purchased and re-
newed; car houses erected and the line
equipped with the finest of rolling stock.
Nothing has been left undone by the
companies which could lend attraction to
one of the most attractive resorts on the
Coast.
Seeing that Redondo was certain to
become focus of attraction, the Chau-
tauqua Association of Southern Califor-
MIA determined to establish one of it's
assemblies there, and to do this build
ing must be erected for the use of its
assembled students and teachers. Un-
der the guidance and push of Rev. 5. j.

The Board of Directors Consider
Several Matters.
The Board of Directors of the Chamber
Of Commerce met yesterday afternoon at
3:3O. The principal matter under dis
cussion was the question of new quarters
for the chamber. This matter was some
time ago placed in the hands of special
committee, consisting of the president
and secretary of the chamber and the
ways and means committee. The board
decided to recommend to this committee
the acceptance of the proposition to rent
Mott hall, together with the rooms In the
front part of the building, for $3.50 q
month, provided that the property
owners of that vicinity could be induced
to subscribe $50 month toward the
rental. The secretary and treasurer of
the chamber were authorized to sign the
lease without personal liability to them
selves.
On this question of the liability of
those who signed the lease there was a
long discussion, and the matter of the
incorporation of the chamber, which ha6
been brought up at the regular meeting
last Wednesday, was treated to consider
alton. There was some opposition dis
played to the idea of incorporating, and
action was finally indefinitely postponed
There was some debate on the matter
Of asking for an appropriation for Re
dondo harbor. 1t was the general opin
ion Of the directors that the chambs
had best for the present concentrate it
efforts on the improvement of San Pedro
and no action was taken.
The question of a special silver con
vention was also treated to some debate
the subject coming up on the reading Q
Judge Bethune's resolution, offered a

action was taken.
A special meeting of the committee o.
new quarters for the chamber was calle
