PASADENA

PASADENA, July 4-(Regular Corre-
spondence) Leonard Lester was the
speaker at the regular public meeting OF
the Pasadena theosophists this evening
his subject being "Theosophy and Art"
The true measure of the greatness of any
civilization lies in it's art, its sense of the
beautiful and ideal, and the degree with
which it succeeds in representing these
through the many channels in which they
may find expression. The true mission OF
art is to instruct, not simply to please. TO
the extent that our art gives expression to
the eternal truths of the soul, lifting the
beholder above the commonplace things
of earth, just to that extent does 1t sue
ceed in its mission Real art is only possi-
BILE when many people are seeking to ex-
press the beautiful in the direction of that
art. Like the adept, the true artist is the
"efflorescence of a generation" of seekers
after the IDEAL Thus great painter is only
a possibility among numberless lesser
painters, and likewise with a great archi-
tect or sculptor.
BREVITIES
William ]. Bryan paid Pasadena visit
this afternoon. He came out in a carriage,
accompanied by a number of Los Angeles
gentlemen, and after driving through
Orange Grove avenue went to the residence
of Judge Booth, on the corner of Oakland
avenue and Center street, where he re-
mained for some time chatting with Judge
Booth, who was his former instructor in
law. Mr.. Bryan expressed himself as very
much pleased with Pasadena and with all
Southern California.

CHASED A PATROLMAN
A TRAMP REsENTs HAVING HIS
CLUMBERs DISTURBED
And Wanted to Whip an officer Who
Attempted to Arrest Him-A
Hasty Flight

A vagabond by the name of James
Whipple gained something of reputa-
tion as a scrapper yesterday morning.
After acquiring jag of suitable proper
tions for inaugurating the Fourth, he
went, in the wee sma' hours, to the rear
Of the Peoples store on North Spring
street and there lay down on some
trash for a snooze. A member of the
interstate patrol found him there and
awakened him none too gently. The fell
low resented being reused from his first
dreams ard showed fight At this the
officer cracked him over the head with
his club. This did not have the desired
effect of putting quietus upon the man
however and he started after the offic-
er in earnest.
The patrolman was not half anxious
for fight, and made a hasty retreat,
blowing his whistle furiously at every
leap. Policeman Redfern heard the
racket and imagined that murder was
being committed. When he reached the
scene he found the patrolman tearing
wildly down the street with his coat
| tails spread out behind him like two
| eagles wings, and the tramp in hot pur
suit. He stopped the fellow and placed
him under arrest. The patrolman then
came tripping back like frightened
| fawn What was the matter? Well
matter enough. Why, he had attempt
ed to arrest that man and he showed
| fight, but the patrolman didn't want tc
be put to the painful necessity of hurt
ing him, oh. no.
Redfern brought his man to the police
station, where he was booked as plair
| drunk.

LONG BEACH

LONG BEACH, July 4.--(Regular Corre-
spondence.) Sunday morning at the beach
was ushered in by the copious downpour
of nice little midsummer rain. 1t helped
to cool the atmosphere and lay the dust
and on this account it was welcome, even
If 1T did deter great many from coming
who usually spend the day at the beach.
The pleasure fleet was out in all it's glory
and carried many passengers on their
different sailing and fishing trips during
the day. The Long Beach bath house,
run by Alex. Aikman, was the most popu-
lar institution on the beach, judging from
the great number of bathers who patron
lied it during the day, while the merry-go-
round and the man who hires out the
burros and goats for riding and driving on
the beach were inundated with business.
The hotels livery stables and restaurants
were literally patronized, and while there
was not the noise and racket of the day be-
fore 1t was on that account q more enjoy
able one.
The entertainment at the tabernacle Sat-
urday evening was given by our citizens in,
honor Of their guests, the war veterans
and the ladies of the w. r. c. Hon H. c.
Dillon, who presided made a nice little
fraternal and patriotic address to the old

they appreciated. The program was pur-
posely cut short SO as to give the audience

chorus; reading. Miss Nina Clarice Cuth-
bert; vocal solo. "Comrade," J. Bangham;
vocal solo. Miss Ada Dillon; song, "To

shooting out their myriadcolored balls of
fire, the gaily bedecked and illuminated
yachts and motor boats sailing and coun-
tersailing past the end of the wharf, and
the waves as they broke, emitting sheets
OF beautiful phosphorescent fire, made q
picture transcendently beautiful.
