into brilliant garden of blossoms and
potted plants, and when the little guests
had all assembled, attired in dainty gowns,
the picture presented was fairylike and in

tanned the merry party, which was followed
by games. The feature of the afternoon
was the serving of the delicious viands
The entire party were all seated at once
around an immense circular table. flat
mirror reflected fragrant carnations that
graced the center of the table,
and radiating out from this in star
points were delicate ferns. Brownies filed
with bon bons were unique adjuncts to the
decorations and were taken possession OF
by the guests as souvenirs of "a very charm
ing afternoon. The tables were bright
with candles and four reposed on the birth
day cakes. Concealed under the beautifully
designed icing was II ring which was cut
for and fell to the happy lot OF Miss Louise

A YOUNG MAN MISSING
The Mysterious and Continued Absence o
Abermathe

The Mysterious and Continued Absence Of
Abermathie
On December I'd Mrs. Mittie Y. Hilliot
arrived in this city from Texas, bringing
with her two little daughters and her
nephew, William M. Abermathie. They
took rooms in the Nattck house, and on
the 9TH inst removed to the Ludington.
On Wednesday, the l 1th, the young Aber-
mathie left his quarters, telling his aunt
that he was going little way into the
country, and has since neither been seen
nor heard from.
Mrs. Hilliot gave the following informa-
ton: my nephew came with me from
Texas, intending to help me start in some
kind of little business. Last Tuesday
he drew his and my money from the bank,
not like the bank in which our money was
deposited, and advised me to give it into
another institution. On Wednesday he
came into my room about noon time, tell
ing me that he was going q little way into
the country, and l have not seen him
since. He had about $500 with him, and
] fear that something has happened to
him, as he is very careless in showing his
money. He is strictly temperate young
man, of nearly 20 years. He has black
hair and black eyes, very healthy COM
plexion, is about feet 5 inches tall,
weighs about ITO pounds, and wore, when
he left, dark brown coat and vest, black
trousers and black soft hat. He has not
taken any clothes with him, leaving even
the key of his trunk in the lock. His pa
rents live in Illinois, and would blame n e
if something has happened to the boy"

The Players are Ready for Hard Game
Tomorrow
The Occidental football team were out
practicing yesterday afternoon. Sam Has
kins has recovered from his indisposition
and put OH suit yesterday, going to his
place at right end. Another change has been
made in the line, Edwards going on left
end and Rico, formerly left tackle, going
back to left half. Murray, tho former
left end, has been moved ON to tackle.
This strengthening of the line means a
good deal, for with Haskins, Edwards,
Place, Leeds, Ramsaur, Murray and Win
ston, the Occidentals possess very strong
line. GOoddale remains q halfback. MUIR
rieta at quarter and Ramsaur at fuIlback.
Rico should play good halfback, as he
has plenty of heart, Is good runner and
is not afraid to hit the line hard.
The game tomorrow at Athletic park
against the Pomona's is keeping the men
right up to their work, 1t will probably be
the best game of any that the southern
colleges have played against each other.

siplipe should be nominated by tho dele


Professor Tebbetts. Of Pasadena, of the
committee to improve the methods OF
church work, then made his report. He
said that the chief thought OF the com
mittee was how co bring the work OF the
church to the extreme limits. THE
meetings in California, said he ARE very
much scattered. 1t is difficult for Friends
north and south to attend. There is a
feeling of remoteness and that the Friends
are not brought into as close contact
with church work as they should be.
He suggested as plan to help cure this
evil that the departments be reduced in
number and be classified as follows:
Department 1-Evangelistic, pastoral
and church extension.
Department sabbath school and
Christian Endeavor.
Department 3-Missionary work.
Department 4-Temperance, peace and
education.
He said thae on account of the scattered
locations of the churches it was impossi-
BILE for the members to attend quarterly
meetings, and suggested that these be
abolished The question was not dis
cussed at that period.
A great many views were expressed as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing the num-
Der of departments.
Willett Dorian wanted to know whether
it would not make salaried officers neces-
SarV on account OF tne STeaI amount OI
work they would have to do. Mr.. Teb-
belts replied that the yearly meetings
would be expected to pay the travelling
expenses of the superintendent.
The scheme met with considerable APP
proval, but Mary Brown opposed it. She
declared that the way to encourage a
healthy interest in the society was to set
as many people to work as possible, and
she thought the new plan was faulty, in
asmuch as it decreased the number of
workers.

NEED NOT BE ALARMED
The Vernon People Will Continue to
Have Water
The Decision of the Supreme Court II Is
Claimed Will be Beneficial
on the Whole

The Supreme Court having decided in
the case of the Vernon Irrigation Com
pany against the city that the city has
no right to take water from the Los An
gees river and sell or dispose of it outside
of the city limits, it has created great
anxiety among the people outside of the
city who have heretofore got water from
the city bitches, and in order to ascertain
Just what the effect would be upon their
interest reporter called upon Mr.. John
A. Pirtle, who is secretary OF the Vernon
Irrigation Company, and get his ideas
in the matter.
Mr.. Pirtle replied that as far as the in
terests OF the people outside Of the city
are concerned, that the decision would be
a benefit TO them instead of damage
He stated that for many years the city
has been losing money by keeping up
its irrigation bitches; i'll fact, Mr.. Hazard,
when he was Mayor stated that the city
had been losing at least $4,000 a year,
and the City Council have always been
very mig gardly in their expenditure in
keeping up the bitches, and the result
has been that the people outside of the
CITY have had to take the water Just
when they could get it, and have had to
pay much higher price than those OBJ
tanning water inside the city limits. Mr..
Pirtle stated that now that the court had
decided that the city had no right to sell
the water outside the city limits and the
Vernon company having appropriated
$500 inches OF water, they proposed at
once to lay system of pipes all over the
country outside the city limits which is
now supplied with water from the river.
BY means of these pipes the people there
will be able to get their water under a
pressure and will not be compelled to
wait their turn as heretofore.
When asked how it would be in regard
to the price to be charged, he stated that
prices would not be any more than those
charged by the city and probably would
be less, as the Board of Supervisors had
right under the constitution and state
law to fix the price of all water which
was sold, and that they probably would
fix the rates at lower rate than the city
formerly charged
If this statement of Mr. Pirtle's is cor
rect, and it would seem to be so, there is
no necessity for the alarm which the peo-
pie in the Vernon district feel over the
effect of this decision.
