PAsADENA, May 20. -Ohildren's day
was observed at the Methodist church
this morning, the entire session being
given up to the little people who enter
tanned the large audience in most de-
lightfui manner. The church was very
prettily decorated for the occasion,
large quantities of roses being used with
charming effect. Tue programme con-
sisted of singing and recitations, exclu-
sively by the little folks, and it is but
fair to state they did splendidly One
OF the most interesting features WAS a
concert recitation by the seven little
children who are being taken care of by
Miss Cleveland OF South Pasadena. The
little fellows were all dressed in blue
sailor suits and went through
their parts in splendid shape.
Each of the junior Sunday school classes
were represented, either individually or
as a body, the whole making most in
terssting programme. Mr.. Vallette.
superintendent of the school, made q
short address at the close of the pro-
grsmme, in which he urged that more
attention be given in the homes to the
work which the Sunday school is en-
deavoring to carry on. Both Rev. DR..
Conger and Rev f prente Kollock as
sisted in the service lie ladies who
had charge OF the training of the chill
dren are to be cong stus ted upon the
success of children law.
THOSE INDICTMENTS
The indictments of Joseph La Spada,
Judge @. N. Terry, S. B. Beers and Geo.
A. Herdig, for violation of the election
laws, by the grand jury. caused consid-
cradle stir in political circles when an
nounced by the HERALD this morning.
ALI of the gentlemen named are we'll
known citizens, and several of them
prominent citizens. They have each
been obliged to put up $1,000 bonds, and
will be put to considerable trouble and
eventually imposed. There ia consider.
the matter, and a still hunt is being
made for the fellow who made
all the trouble. 1t was exclusively
announced in the HERALD some time
ago that this matter was being looked
into by the grand jury, and it was stated
at the time that some indictments
would probably be brought. The trouble
arose by several parties signing more
than one petition for nominations, in
violation of the new election law.
MEMORIAL DAY.
From present Indications, Memorial
day will be more generally observed in
Pasadena this year than ever before.
AS the ranks of the old veterans grow
gradually thinner year by year. as they
drop off one by one never to return, the
universal desire to do honor to these
gallant defenders of the union eeems to
grow stronger. At best it will not be
long before the last vestige of the
g. A. r. will have passed into memory,
and Decoration day alone will remain
to annually remind us of the brave body
of men who risked their lives for the
general good. This year there lie an un-
usually active interest being taken
W. r. @. and kindred societies !,
who will do all possible to make Mem
orial day of '94 one long to be remem-
bered. The various committees having
the matter in charge are hard at work
but as yet the programme for the day
has not been completed. 1t will con-
