A Maccabee Receptton-Poiitical Point
ers-society News.
PASADENA, Feb. Ca very large
crowd of guests assembled at the q. A.
r. hall this evening in response to invi-
tations from Pasadena Tent No. l,
Knights of the Maccabees, to attend a
reception rendered Miss Bina .. West
by the order.
Miss West is the supreme record
keeper of the Ladies OF the Maccabees
of the world, and is making tour OF
the west for the purpose OF organizing
ladies' auxiliary hives.
She made a very pleasing ADDRESS
upon the subject of the ladies' depart
ment of the Maccabees, which, although
it has been organized for only about two
wears, has a membership OF over 3U,JOO
and is rapidly increasing IN strength.
The order carries insurance privileges
similar to those of the main lodge, and
has become extremely popular IN the
east.
very pleasing musical and literary
programme was rendered as follows:
Address of welcome, Sir Knight Com
mander w. S. Lacey instrumental solo,
Miss Dennis; defamation, Ethel Fur
man; recitation, B. o. Lacey; instru-
mental solo. Mics Mae Wells; reclta-
ton. Miss Maude Mendensll; instru-
mental solo, Miss Ella Mark recitation,
Mrs. ]. II. Plant.
Following the programme, refresh
ments were served and the young people
amused themselves till late hour with
dancing.
1t is likely that ladies' hive will be
organized in this city before Miss West
leaves.
POLITICAL POINTERS.
There is a movement in certain quar-
tere to make the coming municipal cleo
ton fight upon party lines, which means
a Republican ticket, as the &. o. p. has
ALWAYS considered it had a mortgage on
U. Oaassv; NOV ssry OIour. O,ef USi &
s>it is that the idea of running q purely
local election upon national principles
is, upon the face of it, an absurd propo
sition, as one would have to stretch hiI
Imagination several degrees to diecove
what difference it would make as to the
political leanings OF the men who man
age our city government. What il
wanted is capable, honest men, who
will conduct the affairs of this CROWN,
pldCO III u thDIOuSH3 DublH6ebllh0 uluu
ner, and their political belief is matte
of second consideration. if, indeed. i
can properly be entitled to any consid
GRAFTON. As has already been euggester
in the HERALD, the coming election il
going to be warm ole, and already
signs of the coming fight are in sight.
Two candidates have already an
nounced themselves for the position y
city marshal and tax collector. Mr.
john s. Buchanan the present incumb
ent, and Mr.. j. s. Slater, who held thu
Office OF constable from this district TO
number of years. Both men are wei
known and both have a large foliowin,
OF friendo. So that the race will prov,
very equal one. No other either
have as yet announced themselves a
candidates except the ticket which tn
Lincoln club put up some time ago.
The fun will not fairly commenc,
until after the coming convention OF
March Sd, when the citizens party vii
put up their candidates, according t.
the notice given cut by the executive
committee OF the organization.
A STRANGE MEETING.
An interesting meeting, says the Star
took place in Pasadena yesterday. Mr.
Nagarkar, the Bombay lawyer ant
preacher, was driving with Meesrs
Keyes and Nelmes, when he happened
to mention that he had understoo,
there was native of HE own country
Psrsee, living in or near Pasadena
and that he was the only Hindu either
of the United States. Being asked hi
name Mr.. Nagarkar said it was Sorabii
Mr.. Nelmee knew him and visit wa
at once made to Mr.. Sorabu's house OF
the Raymond Improvement company
tract Just below town.
The meeting Of the two East Indian
was very warm and interesting one
and resulted in an animated flow OF tn
Sanskrt language that continued TO
Home time.
Mr.. Sorabji had lived in Bomba,
many years, subsequently going to Eng
land to engage in business, where h.
married and whence he came to thi
country. The Persees are the descend
ants OF the ancient Persians who wer
drive out of their native land by tn
Mohammedans in A. d. 642, and win
have preserved since that day the relig
ion founded in Persia by Zoroaeter 800
years ago. Az described by one writer
the Parsees are "a people who for
thousand years have formed in tn
midst of the great Hindu people, no
unlike an island in the sea, quite sep
arate and distlnct nation, peculiar ant
remarkable as for it's race, as for its re
ligious and social lie and customs"
Pasadena is famed for being the meet
ing place OF old friends from all parts O
the United States, and its cosmopolitan
ism is now exemplifed by the chanc
coming together OF these natives OF dis
tant India. each here on separate mis-
sions.
A GREAT PERFORMANCE.
The Carlton Amateur Dramatic com
pany gave one of it's star minstrel per
formances last evening to highly de
lighted audience composed of guests O
the house and number oil invite
friends.
The programme, which was outlined Of
strictly original lines, was stunne
and made an immediate hit. AS to tn
