lASADhNA, DeCs lOs~1uo iuuoinA "
Mr.. F. II. Vallette, whose death occurred
no suddenly Thursday morning. was hello
this afternoon in the Universalis
church, and was one of the largest at
tended occasions over held in Pasadena
The church was crowded to overtiowine
with friends and neirhbors of the de-
ceased, and many were unable to obtain
admission on account of the immense
throng. The services in the church,
which began at 80 O'Clock. were pre-
ceded by a short private sermon at the
residence of deceased on East Colorado
street, in charge OF the Knights Temp
lar, of which order Mr.. Vallette was an
old and respected member. The SER
vices at the residence were attended by
many close friends of the family, in adj
dition to the members OF the order, and
were of very impressive nature.
Owing to the illness of Mre. Vallette,
she was unable to attend the services
held in the church.
Long before the hour appointed fer
the service the large auditorium was
crowded and many were standing
when the services opened. During this
time an appropriate voluntary was rend'
cred on the large pipe organ by DR..
Oliver L. Austin.
The remains were brought in accom-
panied by the daughter OF the deceased
and other members OF the family and
the Masonic order. An especially ap-
propriate selection. Spirit Rect, was
rendered by the choir. composed of
Mrs. Howe. Mrs. Green, Misc Carter,
Messrs. Kyle and Wood. Rev. Florence
Kollock followed with some very touch
ing remarks upon the life and works of
the deceased. Through his close con-
nsctions with the church the speaker
had an intimate personal acquaintance
with Mr.. Vallette, and spoke largely
from her own observations OF his char
acter. In the death of Mr.. Vallette
Pasadena has lost citizen of whom she
might we'll be proud, and in whose sud-
den taking away the entire community
fssla Q sense of personal bereavement.
His large works OF charity have espe-
cially endeared him to all, the wide ex.
tent of which will never be known.
He wa man who made the world
1ettef iaS his living in it, and his mem
had the privilege of knowing him.
:, prayer by Rev. E. L. Couger, and
"a services closed with chant, Thy
:v.ll Be Done, rendered in q most feel-
ing manner.
The floral offerings OF friends were
most exquisite in taste. several espec-
tally beautiful pieces being among
them. The Sundsy-school, of which
the deceased was superintendent for
several years, contributed q heart OF
white roses, which was especially fine.
The large attendance at the funeral
VAS but part evidence of the general
owe and esteem in which the deceased
was held by the people of this city. His
ever ready assistance with time and
money to help any object contributory
to the public good or the relief OF the
poor, endearsd him to all and his death
is felt deeply by our people.
THE s. P. AND THE COUNCIL.
The Southern Pacific franchise mat.
ter will not come up before ths council
tomorrow afternoon for final action.
The time for advertising has not yet ex-
pired but an emphatic reminder OF the
wishes OF the people will be presented
in the shape of petition, which has
been published in full by the HERALD
together with the figures, and which
shows how the people Of this city
stand on the question.
The council is asked to take no action
in the matter OF granting franchise
until the company agrees to arbitrats
the question of damages. On this point
there is unison OF opinion, except on ths
part of the Southern Pacific company
and few hired agents who are deter>
mined to strangle any plan whereby
the property owners ahsll be protected
from the greed of this corporation,
MUSIC AT THE GREEN.
An informal musicale and socsl hop
was given in the music hall of Hotel
