home here. His disability dates from
early last summer when he was stricken
with severe attack of pneumonia.
Since that time he has been indoors
nearly every day, spending several
months at a sanitarium in the Antelope
valley. The colonel's condition has
scarcely been critical at any time, bu:
his disease remains with a persistency
that is regretted by numberless friends,
and is very annoying to him.
The ladies of the Valley w. c. T. U.
are beginning preparations for the enter
tainment Of 100 guests at the meeting
of the general organization the second
week in April, when delegates will be
here for two days from all over Southern
California. The delegates will have
free entertainment, and over fifty
homes have been opened for their recep
ton.

fair of the kind given here this season,
The ball was led by Admiral Beardslee
and Mrs. Lewis r. Marks, the goddess
of the water carnival, who, with her
retinue, were attractively conspicuous,
dressed in their carnival gowns. The
goddess costume was of Grecian style
an artistic gem, decorated with tur-
quoise. The maids of honor were
dressed in similar style to that of the
goddess, but in all the hues of the rain
bow, all wearing immense picture hats.

Electric Lights Not Badly Needed-A Pere.

SOUTH PASADENA, Feb. 27.-Citi-
zens are becoming not a little excited
over the proposition to light the town
with electricity. Thescheme undoubt-
edly originated with some enterprising
electric company. that wants to extend
its business. Certainly no local citizens
are anxious to engage in such an enter
prise, and but few of them, apparently,
are willing to vote tax on themselves
and their children for twenty years. to
pay expenses. They say: I'VE came
here and bought lots cheaply, built eco
nomical homes, to avoid city extrava-
gance we have got along comfortably
without gas, or electric lights, five or
ten years, and are all the better off for
the expense saved" The will be a pub

Santa Monica Signal-According to
Mrs. Aliens correspondence In The
Herald, the late experience of promi-
nent Santa Monica lady in having
$40 contract appear against her for 500,
has a parallel case. Another well known
lady subscribed for musical publica-
ton for one year-twelve issues at 81
each. When the books came they were
not at all like the agents sample, but
cheap affairs of no value. After paying
for three or four numbers she declined
to accept them, and now has received
letter from the firm saying that they
have her signature to contract for
twenty-five numbers and expect her to
fulfill It,"
This method of buncoing people seems
to be a favorite pastime of late of cer-
tain class of book agents, as we have
personal knowledge of many complaints
of the same character from different
parts of the state. The next book agent
who attempts to work that scheme in
Santa Monica should be taken out and
dumped in the bay for the purpose of
solidifying the ''quicksand' which the
Times and an equally prejudiced and
unreliable official up at the wharf allege
exists in such plenitude at the bottom of
our bay.
