IN PASADENA TO-DAY
The President Receives An.
other California Welcome.
BEAUTIFUL FLORAL DISPLAY.
Streets Oarpetsd With Roses and the
Crowds Wild With Excitement.

He Speaks from Il Platform Covered With
Orange Blossoms-HIs Horses Become
Frightened and Dash Into Mass of
school Children--GOv. PsnnOyer Stands
on His DiEnity-In Frisco Tomorrow.
pasadena, Cal, April 24.-The Presi-
dent remained here all night and this
morning the town of oranges and flowers
started in to Guido all ever done in the
Golden State in the way of a welcome.
The President came down the street in
an open carriage He stood up and
bowed right and left to the people, and
school children literally showered flowers
on him until the carriage was full and he
stood up to his waist in blossoms. The
street was carpeted with roses, lilies and
other eXotics, and twas the sight of a
lifetime. The crowds were wild with en-
thusiasm and shouted themselves hoarse.
Several thousand people assembled
about a temporary platform covered
with call lilies and orange blossoms
and to this the President was escorted
along a pathway of flowers a foot deep
He made short speech, and Messrs. Wan
amaker and Rusk also spoke. Another
shower of flowers fell on the Presid emit,
who thanked the people for their recep-
tion.
Narrow Escape from Death.
At the high school the children had as
sembled and they repeated the novel cere-
mony of throwing flowers in front of the
Presidents carriage and of raining bou-
quets on him. Here the fiery spirited
horses attached to the Presidents car
riage became frightened and dashed into
a mass of school children A cry of hor-
ror arose from the assembly as children
fell under the horses feet. Quick hands,
however grasped the bride reins and
Quoted the frightened horses. No one
was injured and the procession moved on.
While awaiting the arrival of the Presi-
Dental party at Arlington station, Louis
Munson, editor of the Banning Herald,
was attacked by hemorrhage and died
in few minutes.
In San Francisco Tomorrow Night.
In San Francisco already the sound of
preparation for the Presidents visit is
heard and re -echoes as far south a. this
lovely spot. and the display of affection
ate respect promises to excel anything
yet witnessed or expected. He reaches
there Saturday evening at 7 o'clock.
The President will be a week in San
Francisco. and it will be six days
round of pleasure, with Sunday only for
n day of complete rest.
Gov. Pennoyer Stands on His Dignity.
PORTLAND, Ore, April 24.-It is re-
ported that Gov. Pennoyer, when asked
whether he would go to the State line to
receive the President, said: Mr.. Harrison
represents, in his official capacity, the
official power and dignity of the Federal
government. l, as Governor of Oregon,
represent the State of Oregon in the same
way. We are equal. l have no business
to go and pay homage to him. On the
contrary, when he visits Oregon, he
should rather pay his respects to me as
| its official executive"

PHILIP l. MOEN DEAD.
The Celebrated "Doc" Wilson Suit and
Mystery Recalled.

The Celebrated "DoC' Wilson Suit and
Mystery Recalled.
WORCESTER, Mass, April 24-Phillip
L Moen di I'd in this city last evening
Mr.. Moen's death was due to a paralyetic
shock sustained n week ago. He was
born in wilma, N. Y, Nov. 10, 1924. He
was at the head of the great wire works
of Moen s. Washburn, located in this city.
He was prominent in social, political and
religious circles and Worcester's foremost
citizen.
Over Mr.. Moen's private life there was
the shadow of great mystery, his rela-
tions with the notorious doc" Levi Will
| son, which nine years ago was the topic
of discussion in the newspapers of the
in their personal habits and tastes.
Wilson never divulged the secret of his
mysterious power, and Moen never re-
ferred to it but with a sort of horror.
Moen paid large sums Of money to Will
son, amounting, it is claimed, to hun
dLeds of thousands of dollars.
But finally Wilson became so constant
in his demands that Moen saw only ruin
before him if he continued satisfying
him, and refused TO crafty him. This
was in 1882. At that time Moen's cour-
age seemed to have been bolstered up in
some unaccountable manner, and he in
stituted thaee suits in the United States
courts for several hundred thousand
dollars, money which he claimed he had
paid to Wilson under blackmail.
Wilson prepared to fight the case to
the end, but Moen weakened. He offered
Wilson $3.50, 900 not to defend the case,
which Wilson accepted, but Moen did not
pay over the money, and thus it was that
Wilson Immediately instituted the suit
for $3.50, 900. The case came up in Boston
HQQE
trial, In which many incidents of Wilson'S
checkered career were brought out, went
to the jury, which, after long delibera-
ton, disagreed on Dec. 8. Wilson disap.
peared after the trial. He was heard OF
at intervals, but has been reported as
dead several times. Moen's secret OF
Wilson'S influence died with him.

IT really looks as if summer had come
to stay. Sometimes appearances are
there is something the reverse of frisky
about the weather we have had of late,
and unless we get bad setback in the
shape of belated frost or an April
snow storm the chances seem to be that
our June will arrive early in May, with
all its fine raiment. After the winter
we have passed through we ought to be
able to stand it.

SCIENCE FOR MECHANICS.

IT has recently been found that GER
tain fungoid growths have the power of
removing gold from water containing it
in suspension.
WHEN cast and malleable iron are
used in the same structure q galvanic
action is set up between them, and the
malleable iron is corroded.
SEAwEED is now made into a tough
paper. which takes the place of window
glass. When colored the effect is SINH
lar to stained or painted glass.
To ORNATE the waste of steam In
steam hammers an improvement has
been introduced in fitting the hammers
with two pistons of different diameters,
compromising them, in fact.
GUM arabic, which was once univer-
sally used, has become very scarce and
dear, and q substitute for it is being
made from starch, which is subjected
under pressure and at high Temporal
ture to the action Of sulphurous acid.
The product, after naturalization, is
soluble and extremely adhesive.
A NEW kind of metal is reported from
birmingham, Eng, which is said to be
non-corrosive and will adhere to other
metals of all kinds when properly
applied. Its greatest use will proba-
bly, be found in the marine engi-
neering, for coating iron and steel for
propellers to prevent their pitting.
A GUN to fire under water has been
invented, and one for the United States
ship Destroyer is in course of construc-
ton at bethlehem, Pa This expert
mental gun is to be thirty-five feet long,
and will throw n proiectile tyentv-five
feet in length, containing four hundred
pounds of nitrogycerine, one thousand
feet through the water.

actual appropriations come nearer SOL
than $50 for every hour of the 1880

the footings of the expense of two years

made up. If you are a republican,
multiply 1890 by 365, the product by "a,
