A Revolver Thrown From . second.Story
Window on Spring Street
A peculiar incident occurred on Spring
street. just south of Fourth at about 1
o'clock yesterday afternoon and that no
one was hurt was due to pure good luck.
A bicyclist named G. Machier was slow
ly pedaling along the street and when
in front of 4491a, the upstairs portion Of
which is occupied as lodging house,
he was suddenly surprised by having a
revolver drop at his feet, hitting the
pavement with resounding crack. The
weapon was an almost new Smith &
Wesson hammerless. 3S caliber, and for
tunately did not explode. but Machier
had a narrow escape from fractured
skull, the weapon missing his head by
only a few inches. He got off and pick
ed up the gun, but was approached by a
party who demanded the weapon,
which he said had been hurled from a
second story windo0y. Machier refused,
however. to give up the gun and carried
it to police headquarters. where he told
the story.
Officer Fowler was sent down to in
vestigate and found that the revolver
had been thrown from the apartment
at the number named occupied by Mr.
and Mrs. w. p. Reed. From the ap-
pearance of the room 1t seemed as
though the couple had been packing up
to move. Mrs. Reed admitted that she
had thrown the pistol out of the window,
but said her only reason was that she
did not want the thing around. There
had been no quarrel and neither she nor
her husband had anything to say. sim
ply that they didn't want the gun and
so she threw it away as stated. There
seemed nothing to do so Fowler brought
the weapon back to the station. where
it will be kept until claimed.

A New Order Being Intro duced
in California
SOME UNIQUE FEATURES
A Great Temple to Be Erected at the
Worlds Headquarters
A Possibility that This May Be Established In
the Summeriand Of Southern califor-
nia-The Membership

An order styled the Worlds Tenn
plars of Roses, with growing member
ship, comprising some of the celebrated
singers and actors of America and Eu-
rope, has recently been started under
auspices of the most promising charac-
ter. 1t has for its object the harmonic
ing of the lofty sentiments OF the ma
tions of the world through one grand
festival of music and drama each year
The festival is to be held during one
month of each year. with the participa-
ton of all the best known artists at
home and from abroad, America being
the country chosen for the festivities.
An ediflce to be known as the Temple
of Roses. with seating accommodations
for 25, 900 people, and to cost S1,0Oo,Ooo,
is to be built in antique Greek style,
with appointments of the most attract
i've character and such as to induce the
finest artists to take a lively interest
in it, as has already been manifested.
The temple Is to be dedicated to and
in honor of Eve, the first mother, and to
women of all nations. thus emblamati-
cal of mother-love.
The founders and first members of this
new order, who have been secretly de-
vising the best means for the advance
ment of the cause for the enlightenment
of mankind, are from prominent cities
of the east and Europe, and four OF these
have recently been looking about South
ern California in the vicinity of Los An
geles, with a view to site for the build
ing of the mammoth Temple of Roses
in summerland California. the paradise
of the world. Some of these founders
from Europe and the east have possess
ions here Their intentions for the pres
ent are kept secret as far as possible,
since they do not wish to be annoyed by
real estate men. But some of the feat
ures have become known to few. and
it is also known fact that the intention
is to have the first grand festival and
laying of the corner stone in May, 1897.
1t is intimated that San Francisco may
be the choice of location, but Southern
California evidently has the preference
from all that can be learned. Further
Intelligence is promised to be given in
the near future. 1t is an order which,
when presented before the people. will
have an assured and enthusiastic pat
