PASADENA.

The schools Crowded-The Jones-Mc-
Lain Wedding.
PASADENA, Oct. 2.-The overcrowded
condition Of the centrally located
schools, the Lincoln and Wilson, while
the outside schools, the Washington
and Garfield, are not nearly full. points
to the fact that q mistake has been
made in locating these buildings so near
the outskirts of town. Especially is
this the case with the Washington
school, which is located upon the ex-
treme northern boundary OF North Pas
adena, and consequently could easily
accommodate as many more pupils az 10
does at present, from the fact that its
location is such that 1t can accommo-
date but comparatively small district.
1t is, however, too late now to remedy
this mistake, and it only RENAME TO see
that whatever school buildings are
erected in the future are located in rea-
Bonably central positions.
From present appearances it will not
be long before a new building will be-
come an absolute necessity. as indeed 1t
would seem to be now, judging from the
fact that in some grades scholars can go
but half day, in order that one room
may do double service.
JoNEs-M'cLAIN.
The marriage OF Col. B. @. Jones, OF
Phoenix, Ariz., and Miss Idania Nc
Lain, OF this city, took place at the
st, Nichols hotel at O'Clock this even
ing in the presence o. few intimate
frieuds.
The hotel was handsomely decorated
for the occasion, flowers being used in
profusion.
The ceremony was conducted by Rev.
J. W. Phelps, former pastor of the M.
E. church, and Immediately afterwards
q collation. was served in the dining
room.
Colonel James is one of the most pro-
gressive business men of the territory,
and has large landed interests in the vi
cinity of Phoenix, and the news of his
marriage to Miss McLain comes in the
nature of surprise to that iady's
friends in this city.
The newly welded couple left on this
the east, to be gone several months,
during which time an extensive tour OF
the eastern states will be made.
LABOR DAY.
Despite the fact that the Legislature
of California has declared this to be
egal holiday, but little attention was
paid to it in this city, not even the
banks closing.
The city council met but transacted
no business, and adjourned until
Wednesday at 2 pm, when the usual
routine OF business will be taken up.
The city clerk reports but little busi-
mess in sight, however, for the muni-
cipal body when it does meet, and dry
round of routine work may be looked
for.
