his wagon, cut his head rather badly and
injured his horses. His wounds were in

being broken. He did not see the ap
preaching car being blind in one eye,
and was in the act OF crossing the track
when the car struck him. The front of
the car was broken somewhat. the glas.
being scattered in every direction, though
NO one on the car was hurt. The China
man was removed at once to DR.. Hodges
hospital, where MS wounds were sewed
up and he was sent home.
Postmaster Kernaghan, another citizen
who has just returned after an absence Of
several weeks, has discovered that thieves
have taken advantage of his absence, but
in this case they were not richly reward
ed, as he had taken the precauton to
remove tho portable things of value
from his house before he went away.
When he returned to his house. on A l.
colt Place, last night he saw at once Jhat
some burglar had effected an entrance
during h,s absence by prying open a
window and had evidently gone through
the house looking for plunder. That his
visit had been by night was evide need
by the trail of burned out matches ex-
tending through the rooms. Other citi-

The Knights of Pythias have been max
celebration of the tenth anniversary OF
the establishment of the order in Pasa-
dena, which will occur on the 18th inst.
Invitations have been extended to the
various lodges of the order throughout
Southern California, and large attend
ance is expected. On Tuesday afternoon,
the 18th inst the festivities will open
with grand parade, in which all visit
ing members are expected to participate.
Word has been received today that uni
form rank, Knights of Pythias, of River
side, will arrive Tuesday noon to partici-
pate in the parade in the afternoon. This
Is one of the finest divisions in Southern
California. having taken the first prize
at San Diego two years ago for the best
drilled division. The tabernacle has been
engaged for Tuesday evening. when a
musical and literary programme will be
rendered, which will be ready for publi-
cation tomorrow. A banquet will be

Health Officer Rowland has frequently
received complaints that much of the
milk offered for sale in Pasadena is not
the pure lacteal fluid that it is cracked

perhaps containing nothing but milk, is
not distinguished for its specific
gravity. In other words, it has probably
mad an encounter with patent separator,
and parted with whatever traces of cream
it ever possessed. Those of the dairymen
who are not overly-well supplied with
pumps nave determined to make an effort
to have an ordinance passed that will
prevent any serving of milk that is not
all milk. In accordance with this desire
it is probable that at the next session. of
the city council such an ordinance will
be presented for the consideration of the
city fathers. The Los Angeles ordinance
on the same subject may be taken as a
guide in framing statute. Tiere is
nothing in this ordinance fixing a tax for
conducting the business, but the tax Is
provided for in another ordinance. I:
is probable that in the proposed instru-
ment for this city the tax provision will
be Incorporated in it.
