The chamber of commerce of Santa
Ana has sent a sheaf of wheat, one of

the laws OF the gods. She was permit
ted, however, one hour of life during
each tWenty-fOur al which time she
was subject to all mortars ills, pain and
death. The God Adonis never forgot
that hour given to his love and scattered
in her path lilies, from which she sups
the nectar of love, so intoxicating to all
mortals. The angry and jealous God
Oslrus, enVious of their short happiness,
throws rose with poison thorns in the
path of the dancing maid; she gathers it,
thinking ii fell from her lovers hands
and the cruel thorns pierce her flesh and
accomplish their work ere the dying
Sylph can reach the pedestal.

Pat 0arty and r1aY McCartY

Mrs. McCarty, an old Irish lady, was
visitor to the county clerks office yes
terday afternoon to discover if Pat
Garty had really made her daughter,
May McCarty, his lawful welded wife.
She could find no trace of such a con-
tract, and she wants to make it hot for
Garty, who, she declares, is a worth
less old vagabond, by no means good
enough for her daughter. Mrs. McCarty
went over to Vernon on a six weeks visit
and on her return last Saturday found
her daughter had flown. She at once sus-
pected Pat Garty who is an old soldier
and works for the gas company and was
greatly distressed to find her daughter
living with him in terribly poor sur
roundings. However, she could do moth
ing, as they both declared they had been
legally married, but Mrs McCarty's
search yesterday revealed the fact that
at all events they had not been splicei
here. They now claim they were mar
ried in Santa Ana. If Mrs. McCarty
discovers they We're not she intends to
have Garty arrested.

The SUPERVISORS
The Daughter of a Pioneer to Represent the
County at the Mentsrey Flag Raising

y petition was yesterday presented to
the board requesting that the property
lines on Western avenue, south from the
city limits to the point of intersection
with Slauson avenue, be defined and
stakes set thereon On motion of Super
visor Hay the surveyor was instructed
accordingly.
The application of Mrs. F. P. Francis
for a restaurant license at Rivera was
approved.
The application of the San Gabriel I'm
provement company, in the case of the
East San Gabriel boulevard, was set for
hearing on the 23d instant
The official boundaries of Downey and
Los Nietos townships and Norwalk and
Whittier precincts We're on motion of
Supervisor Hay established.
In the matter of q petition for the ap-
pointment of Miss Pearlie Gleason to
represent the county of Los Angeles at
the semi-centennial celebration of the
first flag raising at Monterey, July
4th to 18th, on motion of Super
pervisor Woodward, Miss Gleason was
without expense to the county.
Miss Gleason's great uncle, Capt. John
Patty, arrived a t Monterey in 1884 and was
engaged in trading up and down the
coast for many years, owning and COM
manding the old brig, California, and in
partnership with Henry D. Fitch, the
historic vessel of the Malek Adhel. II
was also his vessel. the Don QuiXote,
which carried Governor Micheltorena
and his troops back to Mexico. Capt
Patty was instrumental in starting the
first packet line between San Francisco
and Honolulu. Another great uncle of
Miss Gleason's also came to the coast in
the early thirties, and another yetcame
with the Pathfinder" was Harvey Por-
terfield. Miss Gleason's mother is rel
atiVe of the Duncans who built the first
sawmill in California; her father was also
born in Monterey; her rgreat-grandfather
held high positions a the Preside when
san Francisco was known as Yerba
Buena. So the pioneer blood is strong in
Miss Gleason's veins from both sides.
Among those who signed the petition to
appoint Miss Gleason were Mayor RAIDER,
Judges B. N. Smith, j. w. Mckinley,
Major Donnell, DR. Walter Lindley, Ben
Goodrich and the chief of police.

harmless, only complaining of feeling
Ill at the head. one of the doctors
