THAT WATER SUIT.

How the city Attorney Regards the
Case at Present.
The transfer of the suit OF the Crystal
Springs Water company against the city
of Los Angeles to the federal conrt was
something startling to the public. The
city attorney yesterday had little to say
about it. The office Of The city attorney
is one, he holds, that is circumscribed
to great extent. Ii he wanta TO begin
suit he has got to go before the council
and ask permission of that body before
he can file single paper in the case.
1t is to be seen, therefore, that his hands
are virtually tied and himself debarred
from exercising such tactics as ii he were
merely engaged in civil practice. Just
Rs soon as ne got tine order to commence
the euit to quiet title to the property,
away went the Crystal Springs company
and began the suit itself; and began it
in federal court at that, evidently being
in no great hurry or anxiety for de-
cision upon the point, as it is well
known that plaintiffs in hard fought
suits begun in the United States courts
die of old age, while defendants dry up
and blow away, before the supreme
tribunal passes on the question.

The Funeral of Miss Mae Forester on
Thursday.
The funeral of Miss Mae Forester took
place from the home of her parents.
Mr.. and Mrs. Z. A. Forester. Thursday
afternoon at o'clock, service being con-
Quoted by DR.. J. w. Campbell, pastor of
the deceased, assisted by DIR, Hutchins
of the Fret Congregational church, this
city. The esteem in which Miss For
ester was held was manifested in the
large attendance of sorrowing friends
who met to pay the last tribute and do
honor to her who in life had been q
power in all the circles in which she
moved. The beautiful remains, as ii
asleep, lay encased in pure white, with
sweet violets etrewn about the casket in
dalicste grace. The walls and reception
rooms, made go gloomy by the shadow
which hung about the home, were con-
verted by loving hands into bowers of
eunshine by the flowers the departed
cherished go well. and, if possible, made
the visitation of sorrow less severe.
A large number and variety of floral
tributes and designs were sent by in
dividual friends and different organiza-
tions of which the deceased was q
member. Among them were a large
harp of rose buds and ferns by the
cho.r, floral heart by the primary clses
and a design OF violets tied with a great
bow Of white ribbon from the Epworth
league, all OF the First M. Z. church.
The Arar club sent large floral pillow,
anh the news and working boys star
of white immortelles, on which was in
scribed in purple, "Our May"
The funeral ritual was sweet and i'm
pressive, the remarks of DR.. Campbell
90 tender and pathetic, bringing tears
to every eye. The singing was rendered
by the Arar club, of which the deceased
was q member, and never was soul
waited ON sweeter strains than Nearer
to Thee. A large procession followed
the remains to Rosedale cemetery,
where they were placed in the vault.
Although so deeply stricken, Mr.. and
Mrs. Forester are filed with gratitude
to the many friends who so cheerfally
and tenderly surrounded them by SYM
pathetic words and loving deeds, seek
ing to alleviate their SORROWS and bind
their broken hearts.
