IT is regarded as something OF mys-
terry that ex-senator Carpenter should
30 abruptly lapse into the solitude of
his singular originality. That he has
gone into caucus with himself to select
senate committees is not generally be-
lieved by those who knew Mr.. Millsrd
in Kansas or other states through whic h
the lieutenant-governor passed on his
journey to Los Angeles. These acquaint-
ances say that if Mr.. Millard desired
assistance in making up his committees
he would have consulted tourist Of

THE convention OF supervisors
which will assemble to-day in this city
may be made the nucleus of an i'm
portant movement towards concerted
action on behalf oi measures beneficial
to Southern California. 1t is proposed
to discuss methods for encouraging i'm
migration, the Improvement Of county
roads, county government. the harbor
question and the feasibility OF
further and more determined
agitation favorable to state di-
vision. The counties represented
will be San Bernardino. Orange. Santa
Barbara. Riverside. Ventura. San Diego
and Los Angeles. The delegates are
men thoroughly competent to present
the necessities AMI requirements OF their
sec.ione, and it lie probable that the re-
suit Of their delibsra tions will be some
definite plan by which the interests
common to this portion Of the state may
be given greater prominence and effect
than has been hitherto possible by in-
dividual effort. II the various legislative
delegations had been invited to meet the
county representatives immediate benz
eft might have accrued by the iormuis-
ton Of propositions to be presented to
the Legislature. Even without consulta.
tion it will be possible to instruct the
delegations by resolutions ss to what
they may accomplish for the general
welfare Of the section, and this conven-
tion should not adjourn without some
such action.

PAS.4DENA'S PERIL.

The Southern Pacific is not 80 sure ol
getting a franchise to occupy Broadway
avenue in Pasadena ss it was last week.
! 1t appears that it will require four coun-
cilmen to pass the ordinance delivering
the beautiful little city into the hands
OF the corporation. There are five coun'
cimen in tn g city OF Pasadena, and two
of these are not prepared, at the present
time, to throw the gates wide open to
the Invading corporation.
| Messrs. Lukens and Hamilton are the
| dissenting councilmen. and they have
declared that the interests Of the people
are paramount to the demands of the
Southern Pacific. Theee men cannot
be briDed nor 5rowbeaten, and the COM
psny's agents will find that they cannot
capture Pasadena by tho usual methods.
As at present constituted, the city coun-
Gil of Pasadena might DEFY even the
Walpoiian tactics OF Lobbyist Holly, re.
Gently resigned.
As matter OF fact. this entire propo-
sition is q solemn farce. The pretense
that the iranchise 10 to be auctioned to
the highest bidder is laughable in view
OF the fact that the Southern Pacific is
the only bidder, and the ordinance
granting ths franchise was framed to
meet the requirements OF that corpora
tiou. 1t is serious in that it is An effort
to make Pasadena Southern Pacific
reservation, with all the privileged
thersunto eppertsiuipg.
II is not likely that Messrs. Lukens
and Hamilton will Weld to tbs pressure
that il being brought to bear on them,
and the rail.oad company will be com
pelied to be content with what it has
already grabbed outside OF the town.
Pasadena will not suffer ii the railroad
goes around the city, as it has been
compelled to do in other in
stances. No city has been injured
by keeping this corporation away
from its streets, avenues and thorough
fares, aud. on the other hand, those
communities who have allowed the cor
poration to gain q foothold have re-
gretted the concession in angry protest
against the arrogance and tyranny
that have invariably displayed them
selves as characteristics OF what
Arthur McEwen has aptly called
"the associated villsinies." San Fran.
cisco is at the present moment com.
plstely in the tolls OF the Southern
Pacific, and Oakland has been ruled for
many years by corporation despotism N
that has rsAucsd the city to condition
OF servitnde bordering on absolute
slavery. In the latter instance the rail.
road company has stolen the entire
water front and secured possession of
the most valuable franchises within the
gilt of the municipality, effsctually
precluding every effort at compe
titon and defying every effort
OF the people to reeist the
extortions and exactions of monopoly
that regards no interests except its own
"a selfish, grasping, rapacious, in
sensate beast that Adolph Sutro has
called an octopus" finding no better
designation for the monster than the
term applied to the hideous devil fish,
whose prehensile tentscles reach out to
embrace that which the voracious rep
tile would devour.

PUPILS RECITAL

piano recital was given last evening
by the pupils OF Mrs. T. Masac at her
residence, northeast corner Grand ave-
nue. and Eleventh street. A program me
of II mum bers, on which appeared the
names OF Liszt. Rubinstein, Paderewski,
were very well rendered, and the young
ladies are alr doing good work. The
last number was playeu by MIS-. Masac,

Wedding march, and she did it full jus
tice. The majestic chords and diRnified
harmonies. followed by dainty, tripping
measures, again returning to the serious
march, gave Mrs. Masac opportunity to
chow her force and her dslicacy by
turns; her execution was crisp, and her
modulations artistic. The rooms were
comfortably filed with an intereste
audience, and the evening satisfactory
from student's point OF view, and in
teresting from that OF the listeners.

MUSIC.

The Y. NJ. G. A. auditorium was very
well filled last evening for the concert
that was given under the direction OF
Mr.. Frederick Stevenson. Mrs. @. E..
Wenger was detained by illness and her
place on the programme wac filled by
Mrs. Snaps of St. Paul. Mr.. Blake too,
on account of a cold. was unable to sing
more than one of bis songs. aud was
substituted by Miss Sargent. Except
for the above slight changes the pro-
gramme was given as advertised and
each number was thoroughly enjoyed
by the audience. Mr. Blake's voice,
while yougher than usual, was rich and
full, and the Muleteer OF Tarragons,
with its piano and organ accompsni-
ment went with much spirit and finish.
Miss Padghsm's clear, high voice was
heard to good advantage in her mum.
bers and her pianssimo tones are par.
tcularly sweet. Herr Arnold Krauss
was at his best last night; he has never
played better here, and his brilliant
tcchniou ue, sweetness and fulness OF tone
and delicacy OF shading were delg htfully
in evidence. OF Mis- Rogers accom-.
paniments only praise can be said; she
never forces the soloist. yet is always
with either voice or string and her exc
cution is clean and her reading intelli-
gent.
Mr.. Stevenson provided a very inter
esting programme for his evening in As
sociation hall, and the various numbers
were all most enjoyable. There will be
a social under the auspices of the Ladies'
auxiliary at the same place Friday
evening, December 18th, to which all
are invited.
