PASADENA, Dec. "a Company ID, in
command of Captain Bangham, celebrated
its sixth anniversary last evening at East
San Gabriel hotel. The members turn d
put to the number of about sixty and went
Ances, and were accompanied by lady
friends and few invited guests.
Though Ex-Governor Markham and Gen.
sral Last, who were expected, could not
attend, those present enjoyed a delightful
evening. Immediately after arriving, the
company, led by Lieutenant Lippencott
and Miss Lippencott, filed into the
spacious ballroom, which the host had an.
propriately arran yed, and dancing was in-
dulged in for two hours. At IL o'clock the
party adjourned to the dinngroom, where
a sumptuous COLLATION. was served. under
the eye of Captain Bangham, as toast
master, and Colonel Hansen and wife and
Colonel Shredder and wife.
The banquet was followed by speeches
from Colonel Hansen, in response to a
toast to the governor, from Captain Bag
ham, Colonel Schreber and Sergeant Gar
lick. Colonel Hansen spoke highly of the
company, but Colonel Schneider was en-
thusiastic, declaring that there was not
better drilled company in the regiment
and advising the boys to issue challenge,
that would prove his assertion, to any as
piring military organization in these parts.
Judge Rossiter, in response to a toast to
the old and eX-members of Company d,
dwelt upCn the burning question of war
with England, and expressed the opinion
that such disputes would be easily adjust
ed as long as we support free institutions.
Sergeant Garlick's speech was in the
nature of a happy surprise to Captain
Bangham, at least. Saluting his COM
mander with few verses appropriate to
the occasion, he presented him with a
tribute from the soldiers in the shape of an
elegant officers sword.
Dancing was resumed after the banquet

all thrown into Ole were canvased ana
brilliantly lighted and with the accessories
of beautiful decorations and the merry
throng of young CUES s. the scene presented
was gay one. The rooms were draped In
fish netting. This pretty form of decora-
ton was carried out in all the rooms with
grace and artistic skill. Woven in the
meshes were bright flowers, each
room having different scheme
of color, and pink roses and
chrysanthemums were banked on the
mantle in the drawing room, and minpling
in with the fragrant flowers were pink
graceful bows. A canopy formed of
alternate pink crepe and strands of smilax,
which radiated from the Chandelier, made
a charming finish to the arrangements. In
the back drawing room bright yellow held
sway, and the dining room was adorned
with red. Wiley orchestra was concealed
in the hall by tall screen of smilax
picked out with red blossoms. The re-
freshments were served on the sec
ond floor in room made lovely
with pink and profusion of gar
lands of smilax and pepper boughs.

He Stole r1any Things

Judging from developments, Officer
Rohn made an excellent capture in the per-
son of Len Anderson. who was arrested on
New High street Monday for stealing set
of harness. In the wagon was discovered
sack Of flour which Anderson is said to
have stolen on Washington street. De-
tecive Steele got search warrant, and a
visit to the fellows premises was rev arded

glary can be m ade against the fellow. He
was arraigned before Justice Morrison

Named by Ba ard Taylor

Mount Clair, in Montgomery county,
Pennsylvania, was named by Bayard Tay-
lor during the course of a spring day lam
BILE in l s47. Taylor's association with the
place should be sufficient to incite desire
to spell the name as he spelled it, The
railroad company spells 1t "Mount Claire"
which spelling originally must have been
blind guess by somebody who, perhaps,
thought that it wasn't correct. 1t was near
enough to pass.

The canal will be an important factor
in the commercial and industrial develop
ment of the country it traverses. Coal,
which, with iron, is found in all that dis
trict, is shipped to all parts of the coun-
try, so that any and every saving in the
freight will benefit the entire United
States. About 1900, 900 tons Of it are
shipped annually by vessels from Pitts
burg TO the lower Ohio and Mississippi
river ports. 1t will enable the iron indus
tries along the line of the canal to send
products to shipping ports at about 371a
per cent. of what it costs ut present. The
canal will provide the national Govern
ment with an easy way TO defend the
lakes in case of war. IL will, by building
up the waste places, increase the reve-
nues of the States it traverses or affects.
From n Pittsbuig point of view, the
canal will boom the city as it has never
been doomed before. Pittsburg commerce
with the great lakes in iron ore, lumber,
etc, amounts TO about 100000 tons per
year. Along the route of the canal there
are fifty-seven furnaces, producing one
fourth of all the iron produced in this
country.
