Al the wiewan meeting Ex-Governor
Markham presided, making short open
ing address, then introducing Senator
Perkins, who began by complimenting
the people Of Pasadena upon the Amer

followed a word for the woman suffrag-
lists The speaker here told story,
which he applied by saying, $50 with
my Democratic friends; they are all
right individually, but from their De-
mocracy good Lord deliver u.s." He
then went back to the beginning of the
Democratic regime of Cleveland, and
claimed that all the industrial stagna-
tion which has since manifested itself
was due to the change in administra-
tion, stating that the Republican party.
believed in imposing tariff on imports
which should represent the difference
between wages in this country and
wages abroad.
The speaker said the Republican party
had reduced the public debt on an av-
erage of S6S, 900 per annum, and con-
trasted the Harrison and Cleveland ad-
miristrations as showing the condition
Of the country to be due to the party
in power. Referring to the sugar boun-

emanated from the Americus club, which
at the proper places, when the speaker
paused for the purpose, arose at the
command of the leader and gave three
cheers for the leaders. 1t was sort
of mechanical applause, all done at the
signal and the turning of the crank.
At the tabernacle w. e. Arthur pre-
sided, introducing Col. Jackson. who
spoke for an hour, after which he
changed places with Senator Perkins.
A colored quartet awakened consider.

MOUNTAIN FIRES.
Mr.. Royce, who carries supplies each
day to the fire fighters, says that he
thinks the fire on Browns mountain
will be entirely extinguished by Satur-
day night. This is the only fire that
is thought to endanger Pasadena's in
terests. Unless the winds should rise
there is no danger from the fires in the
Tejunga and San Gabriel canyons.
Thomas Banbury went to Los Ange-
les today and from that city and Pasa-
dena secured twenty-five men, who will
be paid S1.50 per day per capita to fight
the fire. This is the squad which the
county is sending. They went up to
the mountains this afternoon and in

1T DIDN'T STAY.
r. l.. Meadows, teamster living on
Mountain avenue, was the victim Of
peculiar assault in Ell Monte last FRI
day. He called at the receiving hos
pital and asked that piece of one OF
his ears be sewed on, saying that it had
been bitten off in row. Meadows was
at a saloon in Savannah, near Ell Monte,
and went out into the back yard to
sleep off q jag. Some Ell Monte sports
began to tease him, until pitched bat
tie resulted, during which one of his
assailants seized Meadows head and
bit off the member which Meadows now
wants replaced. An FL Monte doctor
performed this office, but the ear didn't
stay.
