PASADENA

PASADENA. June S.--(Regular Corre-
spondence.) There is considerable discus
sion among business men and the citizens
generally az to the proper celebration Of
the Fourth Of July in Pasadena. and the
opinion ID expressed that there should be
some kind Of celebration that will be a
credit to the town and keep the people at
home on that day. OF course the large
majority Of Pasadena's citizens will go to
Los Angeles to hear Bryan. and all the
celebrations Pasadena can get up will not
keep them at home. Still, for those few
who are left, 1t will do no harm to allow
them to whistle to keep their courage up.
and on that account little celebration
such as Pasadena had last year. which
costs but little. will be q good thing, and
serve to keep alive in their memories the
fact that there is such a day on the cal
endar. BY all means let the good work go
on. The stay-at-homes will have the SYM
pathy of the crowds who will fill every
available conveyance to Los Angeles on
that day.
COUGH MEDICINE
DR. w. H. Prittie, the druggist. is out in
card IN which he says that the bottle
which O'Neil threw into the street con-
tained q medicine for the throat and lungs
which he has repeatedly put up for in-
valids in Pasadena, as well as for many
troubled with coughs and colds. and he
adds:
''On one occasion gave the same pre-
scription. with glycerine substituted for
Quinine. to the wife of city OFFICIAL who
accompanied her The same ofilcial was a
party to three hours argument and advice
to Mr.. O'Neil to make complaint against
me. This same prescription, with varia-
tions. has always been used by physicians
and druggists all over the country"
He says: "The four-ounce prescription
vial contained rock candy syrup, whisky
and Quinine" DIR. Prittie has q grievance
on account Of being singled out as the one
victim upon whom the city officials are
continually pouncing, and he is not slow
to say so. He adds also:
Il quote the following from the observa-
tion Of disinterested tourist: Your
present law Is farce-a travesty upon
equal and exact Justice. 1t pleases neither
saint nor sinner. It Is q cowardly make
shift. equally unsatisfactory to the Pro-
hibitionists. the temperance man, the man
of elegant leisure and the saloon hummer.
1t catches the Ipinnows and permits the
whale to escape through the meshes. It's

a crime, while the open and notorious act
Of the wealthy and influential hotel pro-
prietor is winked at and goes unchal-
lenged.'
