Notes and Personals

Pasadena March l5.-The decision Of
Judge Shaw against the Southern Pacific
Company in the case brought by William
Morgan OF this city to determine the
rights of the property owners along
Broadway avenue, where a franchise has
been granted by the council to the
Southern Pacific Company, is learned
with much pleasure by the people OF Pas
adena. The ground taken by the court,
that the company must proceed to settle
with the property owners affected before
they can proceed to lay tracks, exactly
sustains the position which Mr.. Lukens
took as president of the council, and
came in the nature of decided victory
to that gentleman.
the fight over the granting of the franch-
Use, steadily opposed the granting of any
rights to the Southern Pacific Company
until they had effected a settlement with
the property owners. This position was
supported by the general community as
shown by petition to the Council signed
by almost every business man OF the city
asking that no franchise be given until
the property owners were settled with.
This request, however, was disregarded
by three members of the board, who pro-
ceeded to elect a new president OF the
Iouucii ana Pass tHe opuoAlous measure
whether the people liked IL or not. The
result is that the Court has stepped in and
protected the interests Of the property
owners against the avarice of the Southern
Pacific Company of Kentucky.
While this decision touches upon the
franchise and shows that it does not grant
the power OF constructing road as i'm
. Piled, 1t does not decide as to the legality
Of the action of Mr.. Lukens in declaring
!. the ordinance granting the franchise lost
/. upon vote OF 3 to 2 in it's favor, in place
of a wo-thirds vote, as required by the
state law. 1t is expected, however. that
decision will be handed down in a few
Y days concerning this point, and there is
no doubt but that the position taken by
Mayor Lukens, for which he was un-
seated by three members of the board, will
he sustained

THEY ARE EGOTISTICAL
Hrs. Graham Tells Some Of the Guests Of the
East

Pasadena, March 15.-Mrs. Margaret C.
Graham addressed large audience at the
Universalist church last evening upon "a
Western Woman's Impression Of the East ("
The lecture was scholarly effort through
out and was listened to with much pleas
ure. The speaker described a trip through
the East during last summer, and the
characteristics which were peculiarly
striking to Western mind.
The first thing is the questions. The
Eastern people seem to think that one
should be familiar with every Imaginable
object or subject which may be thought
of. On the other hand their ignorance of
their own locality is every where in evil
dence. A Westerner is treated as sort of
freak.
The average Eastern minds holds to the
idea that is the desire of all to inhabit
the East and that only dire necessity
keeps them in the West. The labor
problem is every where in evidence in
the large cities OF the East. We have
poor" in the West, but to those in the
East they compare as a single grain with
the sands of the seashore. The pitiful
condition OF the children makes the most
distinct impression on one. New York
is the great center with it's roar of COM
merce. Tho contrast between its rich
and poor is striking. In Central Park the
solemn procession of the rich' is in
marked contrast with the simple pleasure
OF the poorer classes, who seem to epjoy
SO thoroughly all the privileges which are
granted them. ptfl

Pasadena, March 15.--General A. b.

to be found in every community. He is
usually between 8 and 15 years OF age, and
as rule has picked up most OF the vices
which he has come in contact with and
could understand. He chews tobacco,
smokes cigarettes, or 'snipes.' He is a
himself a hard case on general principles.
In this he is encouraged by the community
and his own family, where he is told that
he is the worst boy in town; in school he
is always in trouble and never under
stood. Such boys naturally have more
sary that they be cultivated and brought
out. ,~e
Ministers boys have the reputation OF
being the worst boys in the country, but
they seldom turn out bad men. The
early home training counts in the end.
The world should give up the idea that
God brings children into Lie 1 bad. The
child with a sound physical and mental
constitution brings with him from the
unseen world all the possibilities of a
noble manhood. The children should be
given better show to develop what is
within them. Their surroundings should
be the best. Example is the great teacher
and children are great observers, and
every boy knows and seeks to initiate his
fathers habits. Nothing in the house
should be too good for the boy; teach
him that he is good enough for the best.
Never strike him. The law Of love is
stronger than the law of brute force, and
any boy on earth can be controlled by it.

NAMING JAPANESE CHILDREN.
There Are Three Methods, Two of
Them Religious.

There Are Three Methods, Two of
Them Religious.
The Shinto belief is the oldest of the
Japanese religions antedating perhaps the
Christian religion, and having been OBJ
scured by Buddhism for quite a number
of centuries, has been revived The
method of naming children, it seems, is
quite curious one, there being three ways
in use by the followers OF Shinto, the Way
of the Gods.
One, the most obvious and the least de-
vout, is for the father to name the child
himself. The next in an ascending scale
of piety is for the father to select several
suitable names, and then submit the choice
among them to the god. The way the god
shows his choice is follows; The father
brings the child to the temple, and with
him slips of paper inscribed with possible
names. Three or five is the usual number
The priest rolls them up separately, puts
them into a bowl and after due incarna-
ton angles for them with a gohei upon a
wand. (The gohei is the long zigzag of
paper which is so important in eeremo-
MES of religious nature)
Whichever the gohei fishes out first is
the god-given name the child is to bear, a
convenient custom when the father is in
doubt between the Far Eastern equivalents
of Tom, Dick or Harry. This Is q cere-
mony which takes place when the infant
is week old. 1t is not to be confounded
with the miya mari, which takes place a
month after birth, and is not our christen-
ing at all, but akin to the Hebraic presenta-
ton at the temple. For at the miya mari
the child, named some weeks before, is
presented to its guardian god and formally
put under his protection.
:. This third method of getting name for
the child is through one Of the possessions
or frances which are so common in the re-
Eo1nn nf Ia
priest goes into his trance and his assistant
asks him, or rather the god through him,
what is the proper name, and the god
makes reply.
This method of christening ones child is
reputed the most holy of the three, and is
duly practiced by the ultra devout. OF the
population of Japan about 30 per cent, it is
estimated, are thus named by the gohei or
the god-about 10 per cent by each.-Oc-
cult Japan.
