and secret organizations of Pasadena,
of which there are many, ,surpasses them
all in it's exclusiveness as well as in some
of its unique features. In fact so mys-
terious an organization Is this latest
candidate for the attention of "the Jiner"
that outside of the charmed circle OF It's
membership hardly anyone even knows
of it's existence. Like the village news
paper it was evidently founded "to fill
a long-felt want" moreover, 1t might
be said in passing that it is a want"
which seems to make itself felt sever
al times a day, necessitating more as
siduous attention to club duties than the
strongest of the great secret fraternities
has ever been able to exact from it's most
faithful members. The signs, grips and
pass words of the order are said to be so
very intricate and complex that not less
than fourteen would-be "jiners" were
declared ineligible for membership up
to last Saturday. However, some of the
wiseacres say that from all appearan-
ces there must have been some initia-
tions, for it is said there were five empty
beer kegs rolled out of the Club
rooms Sunday morning. What occult
connection there may be between beer
kegs and initiation into the order is not
yet disclosed, at least to the vulgar null
titude, but it has has leaked out that the
coat of arms contains as three promi-

However, the name of the organization

CITY COUNCIL.
The city council met in regular session
this afternoon with all members present
except Trustee Hamilton. c. c. Brown
addressed the board in reference to
street sprinkling. He brought out the
fact that while the contract requires
ten hours work. if it only required nine
hours work there would be pressure
during the whole time of sprinkling as
the water company allows the sprinkling
of lawns only after 5 p. m. In other
words Mr.. Brown thought that it would
be better for all concerned if street
sprinkling was stopped at 5. President
Hartwell said that as the men were eX-
pected to bring their lunches and sprin-
kle during part of the noon hour they
got the ten hours in while there was
good pressure.
A resolution ordering work on Lake
avenue was adopted.
A resolution for the construction Of a

attorney and the committee on streets
and alleys.
Judge Magee addressed the board in
reference to this work. He signed two
petitions understanding that the work

ford it,

aid Office this evening and reported the
finding of a young man lying wounded
and unconscious beside the cement side
walk at East San Gabriel about 10 o'clock
this morning. Mr.. Packard was driving
along the road when he saw the man
with a bad cut across his forehead lying
unconscious by the sidewalk which leads
up to the hotel, which is at present unoc-
cupied, and the horse which he had been
riding was also badly hurt. There We're
two loose horses straying about, both
having rope halters. Mr.. Packard
thought the horse had stumbled and
fallen with his rider and perhaps be-
come entangled in the ropes with which
the man was leading the other horses,
so that in some manner the rider was
kicked by one Of them. Nobody at San
Gabriel seemed to, be able to identify
the young man, and Mr.. Packard took
him over to Alhambra where he left him
at the hotel in charge of DR.. Ellwood of
that place, where he revived sufficiently
to give his name as G. +. Barrett, stat
ing also that he worked as coachman
for some one in Pasadena. His injuries
are not considered serious.

severe one, as one of the ribs was era clr.
