The Snake in Hot Water.
 Birmingham, May

To the Age-HeraId:
 Some of our citizens evidently take the Florence hotel snake story seriously as evidenced by communication signed Consumer" in today's issue of your pa- per.
 Permit me to say that no such snake came out of the pipes of the water works, and the engineer at the hotel, to whom the statement is attributable, does not make any such statement The snake, if such 1t was, came from the hot water tank of the laundry room, and not from the pipe connected with Ae water main. w.

A Pleasant Incident of the Trip to Santa
Catalina Island

Avalon, Feb. 2S.-The trip across the
channel yeseday afternoon was one of the
most delightful that the staunch and
sturdy Warrior has made for many day.
The sea was as calm as the metaphorical
borne SO gently over the placid waters lit
tie dreamed that their captain was expert
encing one of the few serious events of
his life on the ocean wave.
Five miles out from the seaport of Los
Angeles, while the breaking wavelets
Tapped the steamers prov and the sea
gulls chirped a CHEEKY benson Captain
Trefethen with full heart and uplifted
which made David Ames and Jennie
Nichols man and wife. ". G. Bidenharn
officiated as best man.
The wedding dinner was served at the
Hotel Metropole. The festivities termin-
ated at a late hour with an impromptu
charivari in which oil cans and dinner
bells played conspicuous parts, while the
steamers whistle belched forth its shrill
congratulations and every dog ON Cata-
lima took to the hills.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ames who are from Ohio
and South Dakota, respectively, will
spend their honeymoon on Catalina and
make their future home in the City Of
the Angels.
Mr.. and Mrs. John Lloyd, Mr. and Mrs
G. E. Kennedy, John p. jackson, Jr.,

THE LITTERATEUR'S MECCA
South Pasadena's Claim to Be Regarded
as the Local Parnassus
u the Castalian Spring Is Wanting, Other
Sources Of Inspiration Supply
the Lack

South Pasadena, Feb. est is not
generally known that among all the South
ern California towns South Pasadena can
probably claim more literary people than
any other of it's size. Mrs. M. G.. Graham
is known in the literary world as writer
of short stories, which appear from time
to time in our leading periodicals and the
scenes are laid in Southern California, and
generally in this immediate vicinity. She
has a lovely home here, situated on a
high hill commanding magnificent view
OF the San Gabriel Valley and surround
ing country.
At Lincoln Park resides Rev. and Mrs
]. A. Wood, who, after extensive travelling
through this, and other countries, inclu-
ding the Holy Land. On returning from
Palestine, Mrs. Wood wrote most meter
tanning book entitled England and the
Orient. Rev. J.. A. Wood is well known
as the author of Perfect Love and Purity
and Maternity.
1t was here that H. Grattan Donnelly,
the play writer and author of In Darkest
Russia, found inspiration last winter for
cessfully at the Tivoli in San Francisco.
Mr.. Donnelly's favorite place for whiting
was under tree on the lawn, in view of
heavily laden orange trees, and surround
ed by the perfumes of flowers and sing
ing birds. He was charmed with his
surroundings and said that he found no
, other place SO easy to write in, and hoped
to make this his winter home.
This is also the home of Elias Longley.
author of the Longley Short Hand Sys
tenn, which system is now being translated
into the Japanese language by gentle
man now residing in Japan, a work the
accomplishment Of which is eagerly looked
forward to by the people of that country
Mrs. M. V. Longley is well known as an
active worker in the cause of women, and
was elected chairman OF the People S
party convention held in Sacramento, be-
ing the first lady on record to fill such a
position.
Mrs. M. f.. Mayell who died some years
ago at Hermosa Vista, the residence of
her father, G.. W. Glover, was a pOetess.
Her beautiful verses appear from time to
time in our weekly paper, the South Pas
adenan.
W. G. Hogaboom, our Mark Twain, we
also claim, although he has recently moved
to Los Angeles. But since that time it
noticeable that nothing so humorous has
come from his pen.
Mrs. Ruth Brown Thompson, daughter
of John Brown of Harper's Ferry fame,
also lives here. 1t is the home of MANY
others of wealth and social prominence,
who find among the beauties of nature
that much needed rest from social duties.
Within twenty minutes ride to Los An
geles we have a choice OF three railroads,
with lower fares than any other suburban
town, the rate to Los Angeles being 20
cts, good for one day. This low rate is
due to our enterprising citizens in their
dealings with the Terminal Railroad.

erected during the past year, and more

and asked that the city take action with
reference to providing suitable outlet for
the storm water which runs down the
storm ditch and becomes damned at his
north line. Referred to the Street Super
intendent.
The City Engineer was instructed to
prepare plans and specifications for the

E. Nacher's petition for wholesale
cigar license was denied.
A. o. Childs tender to the CITY of 30
feet off the west side of lot IL, to be
known as Judson street, was accepted.
Water rates were at last adopted. The
principal change made in the rate pro-
posed by the Redlands, Legonia and
Grafton Domestic Water Company were in
the cut from 10 cents to II 10 cents per
1000 gallons, up to $1,000 gallons, and
from cents to cents per 1000 gallons for
for all over this amount.
This is for irrigation purposes. Those
who use water for domestic and irrigation
purposes through one meter are allowed
to pay for the water used for domestic
purposes at meter rates instead of
monthly rates, providing that no monthly
rate shall be less than 81. 81 10.
The meter rate for domestic purposes
is so cents per 1000 gallons, and rs cents
per 1000 gallons for the additional water
used. The user of water for irrigation
purposes can demand meters.
These rates take effect July LIST next, and
will be in force for one year.
The resolution adopting water rates
was ordered published in the Leader.

THE SLOYD SYSTEM
Professor Kunou Of Throop Talks on Its
History and Progress


Pasadena, Feb. 28.-Professor Charles
A. Kunou, of Throop Polytechnic, deliv-
cred lecture at the Universalist Church
last evening upon Manual Training and
Sloyd. The speaker has made a thorough
study of the system in Sweden and the
United States, and this lecture was lis
tened to attentively by large audience
The Sloyd or manual system of training
the young is production of the nine
tenth century, but when first introduced
at about the opening of the century it
met with opposition from the masses
People are always confusing manual train
ing with industrial training. The former
is for the intellect the latter matter of
economies. The object of Sloyd is to train
the eye and hand to work with the brain
and assist 1t. Another advantage is that
the student is able to make an intelligent
selection of an occupation to which he
may be best adapted. Germany is the
home of manual training but the first
school to take up the work was in Boston,
where the Russian system was adopted.
1t was not until 1856 that the Sloyd sys-
tenn proper was introduced into this coin-
try, since which time it has spread rapidly
in all sections of the country,
