SOUTH PASADENA

SOUTH PASADENA, Aug. 6.-For the
past five years the people of South Pasa.
dena have kept open reading room an.
young ,ersons of studious disposition.
But in order to increase its usefulness
those gho have had charge of it have
long d. sired to place it under municipal
support and control. Accordingly
meeting was held Monday evening in the
city hall to inaugurate such action.
Elias Iongley was called to the chair,
and George W. Wilson chosen secretary.
Mrs. M. G. Graham, president of the old
library board. made Il statement of the
usefulness OF the reading room to all
classes of citizens, to the effect that no
less than 275 visitors had been recorded as
enjoying its advantages during term of
three months and that it's management
had not been able to supply sufficient
reading matter for them; that the state
law permitted city corporations to levy n
tax Of not more than one mill TO the dol
lar tor library purposes, and that perhaps
this amount on the one million dollars
worth of property in the limits of the
city would be sufficient for present needs.
A motion was made and carried by a
unanimous vote that the city trustees be
petitioned to take steps to organize a
public library BOARD in time to make an
assessment for the coming year of a suf-
tcient fund to open q library and reading
room. and to provide for the election OF
board OF library trustees at the next
election. A petition was drawn up on
the spot and signed by every taxpayer
present. and committee was appointed.
consisting vf Mrs. Graham. Mrs. Eta
Longley. Mr.. Berry and Mr.. McReynolds.
to circulate the petition before the next
meeting of the trustees.

SANTA BARBARA ON WATER
The People Insisting Upon an Increased
Supply
Hind-Reader Tyndall and His Fake Project.
Threshing Machines in the Santa
Ynez Valley

SANTA BARBARA, Aug. 6.-The uni
versal agitation for water has at length
moved the mayor and council to make
some attempt to show their appreciation
of this city's most urgent need. Several
city officials have been investigating the
feasibility of tunnelng the mountain for
an apundant supply, and the results OF
| several experiments by private parties
| have convinced the public that this would
be the proper course to pursue. As every
attempt on the part of the mayor and
council toward further extravaganza in
grading streets is met by vociferous cries
for water. the municipal authorities have
at last needed the temper of our citizens
and how announce that within fort
night preliminary steps will be- taken to
strike the first blow in the right direc-
tion.
Mind Reader A. ]. M. Tyndall contin-
ues to give astonishing tests of his won
derful power. In speaking of his pro-
posed interment, Tyndall remarked today
that the climate and other conditions here
were not we'll adapted for this difficult
| undertaking, but that he will neverthe.
less proceed with it. The management is
not yet ready to fix tho date.
All are inter in the bath house
project which is rapidly assuming definite
shape. All that remains now is the con-
sent OF the council to lease for twenty
years for the construction OF the neces-
| sary building and equipments adjoining
the east side OF Plaza del Mar at the west
end of the boulevard.
Business IS dull in the four courts.
Theodore PruEer has filed in the superior

The residents of the northern part Of
the county have been most desirous for

the new slte was dedicated Sunday by a

The Santa Maria union high school
opened Monday with Professor H. G..
Hammel as assistant principal. A large
numb Der of students are enrolled.
The care that is being taken in the
preparations for the coming teachers in
stitute, the prominence OF educational
people who will attend and the we'll All
vised selection of Santa Maria as the
place of meeting indicate that it will be a
busy and profitable session. Wednesday
afternoon. 2lst inst. will be devoted to a
discussion of the ideas of trustees and
parents concerning the child taught in
our schools, in which State Superintend-
ent S. T. Black and Professor Earl Barnes
OF Stanford will also participate.

SAN BERNARDINO. Aug. Civilian
H. Clark. the account of whose disappear
ance was published in yeseidsy's Herald,
was drowned in the Santa Ana river.
His body was found this afternoon and
will arrive in this city during the night
or early in the morning.
About 2:3O this afternoon word was
telephoned from Bear valley that the
body had been discovered. Word was
sent to Clark's mother. who came to the
telephone and was informed that the
gruesome discovery had been made this
afternoon.
According to the news sent from Bear
valley, the past three days had been spent
in dragging the Santa Ana river, but
without success. Yesterday afternoon the
searchers resolved to divert the stream
and turned it out of its course. When the
water below this temporary dam had run
down, Clark's body was found in little
eddy or pool at one side of the stream,
into which the current had swept it.
The place at which the body was found
is about three miles below Seven Oaks.
At that point the trail leads across foot
log, ana it is supposed that the treacher-
Gus log turned while Clark was walking
across. and he was thrown into the water
below. The place Is where the trail lead
ing from Mill creek to Deer creek crossed
the Santa Ana river. A range of noun
tains separates these streams. ana
the Santa Ana river at the point of cross
ing is both deep ana rapid.
William Hiram Clark was a native of
Utah. He was 81 years of age, and had
been a resident of this county for many
years. He had been recently engaged in
mining. and was at one time on the
police force OF this city. He was mayied,
but for some time he and his wife had
lived apart.

mind that IN cases where the husband
is able to support the family, 1t is an
injustice to other teachers who are de-
pendent upon their own resources. He
therefore fathered the following resolu.
ton:
Whereas, 25 per cent of our city school
teachers are married woman, some of
whom have taught for long term of
years, thereby depriving othofs who have
qualified them selves to teach. some at
great expense and personal sacrifice. OF
positions rightfully belonging to them;
Resolved, That it Is the sense of this
board that for the school year of 1869
applications OF university, normal school
and high school graduates should be pre-
ferIed to those of married women.
But the first thing the resolution did
was to stir UP row. Mrs. +. b. Daley
is member of the school hoard. She is
also an eX-teacher, and is. t bit afraid
to express her sentin ents. and Director
Davidson soon found himself unhorsed.
Mrs. Daley said that such rule offered a
premium on divorce, and was opposed to
marriages. and she insisted that if mar
ried women were to bs excluded married
men must go too.
But the resolution developed so much
spirit that by consent it was permitted to
lie on the table and no action was taken.
1t may come up at a future Getting.
