PASADENA.

Tramp Nuisance-News Items.
PASADENA, Dec. 10.--Prospects for the
coming season in Pasadena were never
better, and from present appearances
we are going to have hard work to ac-
commodate the crowds OF fasteners
that will flock in upon us, in spite OF our
large hotels. which open soon.
Advices from the north and east pre-
dict large influx Immediately after the
holidays, while the Raymond people
expect to open with full house on De-
cember 10th. The Hotel Green, which,
with its immense annex, can accommo-
date over 800 guests, will open In few
days, and will have no difficulty in FILL
ing its rooms from the first.
Taken as q whole there is no donbt
but that one OF the most prosperous
winters in the history OF this city is
before us, in spite Of the general finsn-
cial depression which exiats in other
sections OF the country. Trade is re-
ported now as never better by our mer-
chants, and the holidays will bring
large increase.
THE TRAMP NUISANCE.
The tramp nuisance Is becoming more
Of bore to the people of this vicinity
every day.
In the last week no less than two
large barns, with valuable contents,
have been burned down through the
carelessness OF wandering vagrants, en-
failing 4 loss OF several thousand dol
lars. 1t ia also thought that the large
amount OF petty thieving which has
been going on about town lately can be
traced to this undesirable class of citi-l
zcns. While there is no doubt that
there are many worthy workingmen
tramping about the country in search of
work, IL IL nevertheless true that large
majority Of these wandering fellows
who infest the town are tramps by
trade and profession, to whom work is
unknown and abhorred.
A regular camp of these tramps has
been established along the run east of
the Raymond hotel, which is headquar-
ters for all wandering Willies" who
chance to stray in this direction, and 1t
would be an excellent scheme for the
police to keep sharp eye on the gang.
THAT LAUGHING GIRL.
The Laughing Girl was given at loves
opera house last evening. to good sized
audience. with Miss Clara Lpman and.
Louis Mann.
1t was we'll for the company that it
carried its own laughing stock, as is sug-
gested by the title, for its attempts to
move the audience In this direction could
not be termed brilliant success.
