PASADENA A.

L
the public schools on Monday morning,
the Gath, promises to witness a rush Tor
entrance in the central school buildings
at least. Last year special arrange
ments had to be made to accommodate
the scholars, and the number will De
largely increased this year. 1t is GER
tainly disgrace that any scholar should
be turned away for lack OF room, hut u
seems likely that large NUMBER VIVA
be unable to gain admission unless tne
school trustees get a move on them ana
provide outside quarters. Last season
q large room wac rented in The wooster
block, but no steps have been taksh
this season to aupply extra quarters ior
the new pupils. The trustees SINCE
their bond scheme was knocked out,
and topether with their second attempt
"a issne bonds, which had been de-
clared worthless, have been acting ike
a lot of school boys who won't play
Instead OF rising to the emergency when
thew found the new buildings could not
be erected and providing other tempo
rarv quarters, they have eat down In the
corner. and declared that the schools
must get along the best way they can,
and what echOlars that cannot get IN,
will have to stay out.
Such position ia childlike and not
inclined to raise the board IN the esti>
nation of the public.
The children are here and must be
taken care of, and it is the trustees
place to see that they are; II not IN one
wav. then in another. The idea that a
large number of scholars will have to
lose a yesr's schooling will not be toler-
nted by our people generally.
It la O kind OF advertising that Pasa-
dena can not afford to have. A meeting
OF citizens to look into this matter has
been suggested, and would likely have
en- enlivening effect on the trustees.
ABOUT POLITICS.
has been called for Tuesday in WiIIiahtb
nan. The convention will be com posed
of delegates from this township who
were elected to the Republican county
convention.
The meeting will be called to order at
2:30 p. IN. by Mr.. N. FL. Hcsmer, who
was elected chairman OF the delegation
at recent meeting, and Mr.. Church oI
this city will act ss secretary.
The convention will be called upon to
elect two justices OF tho peace and two
constablaa. Ii all the candidates who
have been mentioned in connection with
the offices make fight the meeting
will certainly prove q decidedly inter.
esting one.
Messrs. Merriam and Lawrence, the
present dispensers Of justice, both want
to hold on, while J. G. Rossiter and
Judge Terry are mentioned as being in
the tight TO stay.
For constable much tho same condi
tion of affairs exists Messrs. Scatter and
Swift, the present incumbents, are out
for reelection and Mr.. Noteworthy and
one or two Others want the job.
On the whole, considering the small
salaries which are attached to the Offices
1t 10 surprising that there is such q
scramble after them.
The present officers all claim tha,
their chances are first -clnss for re-olec
tion, but it looks ea ii at least two new
men will go in.
Aside from Tuesday's convention the
political pot is boiling at allow rate in
this city. The Republicans seam tc
think they have cineh on things here
and need not exert themselves over
much. The other parties have not fairly
started the fight yet. Some lively meet
ings may, however, be looked for in the
next few weeks.
BRIGHTER OUTLOOK.
The coming winter promises to be an
exceedingly good one. so far aa the
touriet travel is concerned. Already
there are numerous straws which indi-
cats big blow from tha right direction.
Manager Halmer of the Green reports
heavy advance engagement Of apart
ments, over half the rooms being already
taken. In anticipation OF haavy travel
the hotel has leased the entire fourth
floor of the Wooster block, which will be
uaed as servants' quarters. The part OF
the hotel now used by the help will be
Ysmodeled and used for the accommoda-
ticn of guests. This will largsly in
crease the capacity OF the house and the
management doubts whether all can be
taken care OF then.
Desirable houses for rent are being
taken rapidly in all parts of town and
we have without doub: more people in
the city at present as permanent resi-
dents than there have ever bean a. this
time OF year.
PULPIT AND PEW.
The delightful weather brought cut
large congregations at most OF the
churches today.
Rev. R. FL. Batsman of Santa Paula
filled the pulpit of the Christian church
both morning and evening. This church
is at present without pastor, it being
understood that Rev. Garvin. who went
10 the Hawaiian islands lastapring, has
decided to carry on the work in that gec.
tion OF the globe for considerable
length OF time.
God and the Human Soul was the cub
lecs OF the morning sermon at the Uni
versalist church by Rev. Florence Kol-
lock. The singing OF Prot. Kyle Mt this
service was especially enjoyed. No
evening sermon is held at this church.
Rev. N. III. q. Fife, pastor of the First
Presbyterian church, preached both
morning and evening at that church.
The vocal solo OF Mr. Charles King, tue
tenor, was feature Of the musical ser.
vice.
