PASADENA PARAGRAPHS.
THE PUBLIC LIBRARY NOW A FREE
INSTITUTION.
A Most Beneficial Change Made-Mr'
Gates Horse Causes Some Excite
ment-Local Happenings OF
Interest.

PASADENA, Sept. 6.-The Pasadena
public library has at last become, what
all public libraries should be, free in
stitution. The new order OF things
commenced the first of September, and
since that time everything has run on
as smoothly as usual. The only restric-
tion is that but one book at time shall
be taken. The library and building is an
institution that our citizens may we'll
be proud OF, and under the new order of
things its benefits may be:gshared by all
alike.
A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
A horse belonging to A. j. Gates, of
South Pasadena, while standing on East
Colorado street last evening, became
frightened and started off on run. At
the corner of Marengo sharp turn was
made, turning the carriage over and
throwing Mrs. Gates and her son out.
Fortunately they escaped injury. The
horse meanwhile continued his flight
until he reached Fair Oaks, where he
slipped and fell. No damage was done
beyond smashing the buggy up.
