PASADENA.

The Annual Charity BalI-signs OF
Prosperity.
PASADENA, Feb. 4.-Tomorrow, Mon
day, evening, tho annual charity ball
will be given at Hotel Green. under the
auspices of the charity organization So
cioty, of which Mr.. Buchanan is pres:-
dent.
The charity organization is society
formed for the purpose Of distributing
among the worthy needy such funds as
the chsritably inclined people OF the
community may see fit to place in its
hands, and the amount OF suffering
which the organization is able to assist
is of course largely gagged by the
amount of these contributions.
The rociety has been in existence
number of years, and during that time
has extended aid in innumerable cases
Of sick and destitute families and in
dividuals. Its chief aim is to take care
of the needy who rightfully belong to
the city, but aid is always extended in
any case where a person ia sick and in
need of help.
It occupies a field covered by no other
association, society or organization and
commsnds itself strongly to the support
of our people.
For several years the society held an
annual chrysanthsmum fair, giving the
public chance to assist the work in
this way, but last year the first charity
ball was given at the Hotel Green,
which proved such success financially
that it was decided to give an annual ball
in place of the fair, which involved large
expense and much unnecessary work.
This is the only opportunity which
the general public has Of contributing
to this worthy cause, and there will
doubtless be one Of the largest crowds
present at the Green tomorrow evening
that ever assembled at that popular
hostelry.

morrow. Tickets have been placed, a.
usual, at s. for lady and gentlemen.

HOW WE GROW.
That Pasadena is making marked ad-
vances at the present time in spite of
the financial depression. which has CEN
spired to do all that is possible to re-
tard the movement, anyone who will
take the trouble to drive over the city
will at once agree to.
There is by actual figures more work
going ON here now than there was last
year at this time, although there are
more men out of work, and it would be
needless for mechanics to come here at
gfs sgee'IsIlR tf r6% nd ts nnorEERR and
east that there has been during the past
tall and winter OF unemployed men, I'M
til the town was overrun with them, At
the same time had there been only our
home mechanics there would have been
an active demand for more labor. As it
ls there are but few frst.class home men
out OF work, and prices are as firm 40
ever. Eight hours is the prevalent
days work among the carpenters and
painters, both of which trades are rep
resented by strong local unions, which
have been instrumental in bringing
about the eight hour work day,
Prospects for building during the COM
ing spring and summer are bright. Our
architects report q large number of
buildings, residences and business
blocks, which property owners are con-
templating erecting in the next 80 DAYS.
Upon the whole, while as l stated
before, Pasadena has more outsiders
here now than can be taken care of, our
city can make showing of genuine,
steady advancement, which will COM
pare favorably with any place in the
state.
