PASADENA.


ing-Notes.
Pasadena. Sept. 19.-There is move
mont on foot in this city to start a cru
sade against. the Chinese, but as yet it
has not developed very far. A mass
meeting is talked OF, and steps have been
taken to secure the Tabernacle for that
purpose if possible.
Just what good is hoped can be done
by stirring up the Chinese question in
Pasadena is hard to see, as the number
ofChinese employed in this city is ex-
ceedingly small and confined almost ex-
clusively to servants and cooks. Aside
from these there are very few Chinese
employed, and the waehmen and veget-
able venders make up the whole list.
The meeting, If held, will be at an
early date, but 1t is not known whsther
or not 1t will under the auspices OF any
society or labor organization.
JOLLY EXCURSION.
The excursion given by the Knights Of
the Maccabees to Rubio canon last even
ing was complete success from begin
ming to end, and most enjoyable even
ing was spent by those participating.
The special train which left here at
O'Clock carried q crowd of about 200,
which added to those who went up
earlier in the day made total OF nearly
$50 people who took part in the excur-
sion. At the pavilion everything possi-
BILE was done for the comfort and enter
tainment of the guests, and it goes with
out saying that full advantage was taken
OF the opportunity offered.
The orchestra furnished excellent
music, and the young people kept it
well employed up to the leaving hour.
Professor James gave a short lecture
on the outside OF the pavilion, cutting it
shorter than usual on account OF the
dancing.
1t ie to be regretted that an opportu-
nifty was not afforded the audience to
hear his astronomical lecture, accom-
panied by the excellent Photographic
views OF the moon, which were exhibited
+ at mis- lecture on Wednesday evening
last.
1t has, however, been arranged to give
q series OF these lectures on Saturday
evenings, commencing this week.
The return home OF the party was
made in short order, Jamie Mills act
ing as chorus leader, to a strong cast of
voices that made the trip only too short
by their melodious selections.
