PASADENA, June 23.-In view of the
numerous items in the local press. many
OF thom in the form of communicate ions,
concerning Pasadena's water supply, 1t
may be well to state q fact for the bene-
fit of those who are not aware of it.
The Villa street reselvoir-which a
stranger might presume from a perusal
of the aforesaid items to be a huge aqua
rum, shcltering all manner OF aquatic as
we'll as amphibious monsters--lt should
be stated, supplies only three-tenths of all
the water supply used in Pasadena, and
much OF this is used for irrigation. None
OF 1T is used north of Colorado street, that
section of the city being supplied by the
big reservoir of the Lake Vineyard Water
company, which supplies seven-tenths of
the water used in the city.
Harry Nichols and Fred Arnold were
up before Recorder Rossiter Saturday on
charge of disturbing the peace. The
trial is set for Tuesday at 10 a. m.
A special election OF the Sons of Veter-
ans was called on Thursday evening by
the state commander to fill the vs cancy
made in the captaincy by the departure
OF Captain Hayhurst to Los Angeles. L..
G. ii. Stevens was elected to fill the place
and he having been first lieutenant, the
lieutenancy was filed by the election of Il.
Haney. Installation of both officers fol-
lowed and the evening was spent in other
business connected with the order.
A small boy four years Of age was lost
yesterday afternoon, but later in the
evening two ladies brought him to the
city marshal's office, having found him
out at Pasadena avneue and North Or
ange Grove, about two miles from home.
His parents live on Fair Oaks avenue.

Young Ellct chose tho Queen for his

the Queen arrived opposite the city

The Queen had been prepared for this
hazardous trip by claiming bulwark

These were fired by the enemy's shells,
and while all hands were at work cut

powerful current swept the ram down

tho Queen reached Red river and de-
stroyed everything afioat and along

loaded with stores for Port Hudson
were taken and burned. Others were
sighted from the decks of the ram, but
they turned tail and made all speed up

the Queen ran out of coal. AS there

1.-The Heart" is the title of an excel
lent paper lately published. Not until
we read this instructive treatise did we
have the true conception OF how Won
derful is the work of the human heart.
We quote by special permission of
the author the following from the
preface:
every few people have ever given
the attention to their hearts that this
important organ warrants. This won
derGul little machine which is not much
larger than your hand. and only about
two and half inches thick, labors day
and night without rest, performing
such an eormoGs amount OF work as TO
be almost beyond belief. Physiolo-
gists say each pulsation or contraction
of the heart exerts so pounds of force,
which amounts to $500 minute, 2l6,-
600 an hour and the inconceivable
number of 5, 1874 600 in a single day.
Now, it is necessary that all this vast
amount of labor should he done, and
we'll done every day. The health will
surely suffer in consequence of the
least failure on the part of the heart to
properly perform its duties. When it
is weak or deranged it directly affects
every organ in the human body and
they are unable to perform their duties
from lack of blood and moral force.
Those organs that are more intimately
associated with the heart are usual"
the first to feel the effects when it is
irregular aud fails to perform its prop
er functions.
This treatise is very artistically
illustrated with handsome plates, and,
although strictly scientific, is written
in Il popular language, making it very
interesting reading For all. The,editor
of this paper has made special arrange
ments with the publishers to have this
treatise acnt free 10 any reader who

CHARLES ]. ROSS.
a Handsome and Clever Man Who Has
Made a Reputation In Vaudeville.

Charles J. Ross is easily the strongest
feature Of "Tho Passing Show" that
wholesale appropriation from the popular
French revue which has been the rage in
Paris for a good many years. In private
life Ross Is or was plain Charles Joseph
Kelly. His stage name was given 10 him
as just punishment for having written a
ballad relating TO the abduction Of one
Charley Ross, an occurrence Of which
some persons are said to have heard.
Ross was born I'm Montreal in 1859. and
1t was not until 1885 that he decided To
elevate the stage. The intervening years,
with the exception of few at the begin
ming of his mundane career were spent on
the race tracks, where he was In turn
stable boy, jockey, trainer and superin-
tendent OF messenger service. In 1855
Ross and the stage clinchcd, and Ross
won. The event occurred in Minors Bow
cry theater, New York. During the fol-
lowing year he invaded the Black Hills
circuit, where he was married TO Mabel
Fenton. The team Of Ross and Fenton
soon became famous, and there wero prob.
ably no other variety people i'm the United
States who commanded larger salaries.
