The Connsll Memorial Services Yester-
day-News Notes.
SANTA ANA, Jan. 21.-The memorial
services in Surgeons opera house this
afternoon in memory of the late Rev.
HI. D. Cornell were a great success. AT
an early hour the people began to
gather in, thinking they might not be
able to get seat, and well they did for
long before the services commenced
nearly all the seats were filed. The
meeting was called by the Ministerial
association, of which the Rev. Council
was an ardent member and always to be
found in his place unless detained by
sickness.
The music for the occasion was
furnished by the First Methodist church
choir, led by Mr.. Unest while Prof.
Thomas presided at the organ. Rev. E.
o. McIntire acted as director of cere-
monies.
D. F. Fuller Of the M. E. church
South. spoke feeliDgly and eloquently
on the life and death of good man.
Professor Perham read paper pre-
pared by the Rev. Mr.. Webster, who
was not well enough to attend the meet
ing. The paper was on the life of Rev.
H. D. Connell as the writer knew him
in the last four or five years. After
reading the paper the professor made a
few remarks as to the work OF the de-
ceased in the public achools and on the
school board OF this city.
The Rev. E. o. McIntire then took
the stand and spoke of Rev. Connelps
qualifications az an educator and teacher
OF the growing generation.
Mr.. Flemming was next called for,
who spoke of obligations this commun-
ity owed to the Rev. Fl. D. Connell. He
spoke eloquently of the way the deceased
had given his whole life to the improve
ment of the human race, while
if he had only turned his abil-
ity in the direction of some other
profession or calling he might have left
his family in independent circum-
stances, but as it is he gave the fruits of
a well-stored mind to lift up the fallen
and in trying to do good to his fellow
men, and in consequence OF his doing so
much for others he has left nothing OF
this worlds goods for his family, except
life insurance policy of $4,000, which is
divided equally among four children,
while the wife and mother ia left with
out anything. Rev. Flemming said this
community should give of its substance
for the relief of the widowed mother to
show the appreciation the community
had for the deceased. Immediately q
number of prominent men went among
the audience and collected what they
could and took subscriptions for what
the people felt like giving, and after
casting up the several amounts it was
found to be over 5000.
At the meeting of the Santa Ana
lodge, No. 241. F. and A. M, last Friday
night most sympathetic and eloquent
report was handed in by committee
appointed for the purpose of drawing up
a commemorative paper on Rev. Con-
nell's death.
The regular meeting of the W.C.T.U.
will be held next Tuesday afternoon at
2:30 o'clock in the First Presbyterian
church. The subject under discussion
is broad and interesting one, Woman'H
Influence the Motive Power in Reform
Work. All ladies are cordially invited
to join in the discussion of this subject.
The following wheelmen went to Po-
mona this morning on bicycles, to re-
turn this evening: Harry Bundy, Ike
Fields, Earl Glen, Til Vance, J. p.
Brow ne, Walter Freeman, 8. H. Purcell
and Charles Smith. We will wager our
shoes that they will be tired when they
return.
The churches were well attended to-
day, the climate seeming to be such
that there was no danger in venturing
out.
Quite number of rigs OF all kinds
went to the beach today to take in the
low tide which occurred this afternoon
at 8 O'Clock. This is an excellent time
to find curious sea shells.
The following is taken from the Ana
helm Gazette:
The sugar house goes on section %, a
mile south of Edgerly's corner. This
will take u out some five miles or go
from Ansheim. We should rather have
had 1t nearer town, and If the bee. and
land company had stayed with the
works last year, we could have had it on
the old Planters hotel corner, if need
be. Bat 1t lies to the center of the beet
acreage, which is, of course, some dis
tance out OF town. We have it on good
authority that the Southern Pacific
