PASADENA.
wonderful Growth of a University.
Local 4, fairs.


PASADENA, Nov. 9.-The growth which
the polytechnic department of Throop
university has made in the past few
months is extraordinary. The number
of students now in attendance is con-
siderably over 100, and the number is
being added to daily. The cause OF
this is not far to seek. No branch of
education is making such rapid strides
into public favor ae that of m anual
training.
In this class of work the student is
not only taught to use his head but his
hands as we'll, and by proper combi-
nation of the two degree of perfection
is reached that is not possible where
only one of these faculties is developed.
No school in the west is better equipped
OF has a more excellent corps of teachers
than this. located in Pasadena, and
which, through the generosity of Father
Therop and the untiring efforts of Pro-
fessor Keyes, has been brought to its
present high rank among our educa-
tional institutions.
The increase in membership has been
80 much greater than was expected
when the present buildings we're erected
that already the truetees are planning
an addition which will duplicate the
building as it now stands.
Our city is TO be most sincerely con-
graduated upon having such a college
within its walls.
THE ELECTION.
The Republicans have taken to the
high timber, and it will be some time
ere they muster up courage anough to
crawl out.
1t was amusing to see the effect upon
the Republican side of the house at
Williams's hall last evening, when the
election returns were had.
Every time fresh dispatch arrived
announcing additional Democratic vic
tories a number of Republicans could
be seen reaching for their hats and going
for the door, which performance was
kept up until scarcely Harrison man
was left. This morning everything was
quiet and everybody anxious for news.
The election passed off in very quiet
and orderly manner, no disturbance OF
any kind being reported.
The voting was mostly done in the
early morning. Ample opportunity be-
ing given every voter to cast his ballot.
The Australian system which was
used for the first time in this city worked
to perfection, the greatest drawback be-
ing the slow manner in which the votes
had to be counted.
Very few ballots were thrown cut, and
but little challenging was done.
The total vote of the city was little
over 1900. OF this number the Repub-
licans received CSC; the Democrats, 223
Prohibitionists, 175; Peoples party 127.
This is decided falling off of Republi-
can votes, the usual vote in this city be-
ing over 800.
The Democratic vote show slight in
crease, also the Prohibition.
The Peodle's Party showing was evil
IDENTIFY disappointing to the followers of
Weaver, much larger vote being an
ticipated.
The town is very quiet after the ex-
citement of last night.
The counting was slow, two precincts
not being completed until morning.
The complete vote of Pasadena city is
given in this issue.
The new Outing club gives hop at
the Hotel Green Friday evening of this
week. A large number of invitations
have been issued and a most enjoyable
evening is anticipated.
The demand for HERALDs this morn
ing could not nearly be met. A sufficient
supply will be on hand tomorrow.
The W. r G. gave dinner in Will
iams' hall yesterday noon that was well
patronized.
Miss l.. Fleming has opened stem
ography and typewriting Office in the
Hotel Green, where any one wishing
work of this kind done can be accom-
modated.
The policy of the Santa Fe seems to
be: "What are you going to do about
it?'
