PASADENA, Aug. ZZ.-Since the publishing of
W. D. Howells' Book, A Traveller from Altru-
ria the subject of altruism has become of more
general interest, and a large and intelligent
audience assembled at G. A. R. hall on Tues
day evening to listen to Rev. E. B. Payne's ex-
PLANTATION of the plans and projects OF this new
fraternal and cooperative organization which
fOurishes under the name of Altruria.
Pasadenans were interested in hearing that
Charlotte Perkins Stetson, a reform agtator
formerly living in Pasadena, was deeply inter-
ested in this branch Of the organization, which
originated in Berkeley and Oakland, and al
ready comprises about $50 members, made up
people in those localities. A colony is soon to
be started located on community ground wit tn
no individual ownership, but all sharing alike
in work and wages. None Tor self and each for
others Is the motto of this brotherhood The
principles are broad and beautiful. WHAT the
practical working OF the scheme will result in
remains to be seen.
RESULTED IN DEATH.
The friends of Mr.. and Mrs Henry Newly
were shocked this morning with the sad intel
ligence that, a result OF last evenings acci.
dent, their little son Duane, an only child, had
died during the night. The little boy having
obtaine matches from some unknown source
set fire to his clothing, between 4 and clock
tuesday, evening, while at play in the bsck
cries, smothered the flames by rolling him in
a bank of sand. Medical aid was summoned,
and while the burns sustained were serious,
no apprehension was felt as to the outcome of
the accident but it was discovered later that
the child must have inhaled the flames. After
suffering during the night, death came to the
relief of the little fellow about o'clock a. In.
Mr.. and Mrs. Newly have the sympathy OF the
entire community. Funeral services will be
held at the family residence. 356 Pearl street,
thursday afternoon, at O'Clock.

Wednesday afternoon with friends and rea-
tives of the la;e Lang C. Winston, who had
gathered to pay their last tribute OF respect to
their fellow townsman and friend.

platform was literally covered were generally
pronounced the most elegant and artistic ever
used heretofore upon similar occasion.
among the most beautiful being q handsome
shield given by the A. o. U. W, of which or
ganzation Mr.. Winston was member The
services were conducted by Rev. N II. G. Fife,
