PATRIOTIC SANTA BARBARA
The City Excited Over the Days Wa
News

SANTA BARBARA, April 21.-The city
was under a little excitement over the
premature report of Spain's declaration
of war Patriotism is at its highest pitch
and flags are flying from many buildings.
The Spanish residents, though quiet dur
in the uncertainty of hostilities. are COM
ing out now unequivocally in boasted alle-
glance to the United States. The naval
reserve is in readiness for call at mo-
ment's notice, and the promoters of the
cavalry regiment are busy enrolling men
and seeking to interest others to join at
once.
H S. Hilton, who has been acting as
reporter of the News, resigned his posi-
ton to accept another in Washington, D.
c., and leaves on Friday for that city.
A demonstration of pure patriotism is
worthy of note in the case of George NJ.
Mcfarland of this city. This gentleman
somewhat of a stranger among us
leaves a wife and children behind to join
the naval reserve to fight for his country.
The rain-makers who yesterday expert
mented in the mountains with dynamite
explosions, in the hope of producing rain,
were surprised to see in an hour afterward
the most beautiful sunshine.
An agent from the Mexican government
has been in the city purchasing horses for
the Mexican cavalry.

Perrin's Comet

If the trouble with Spain results in war
an old superstition will again be verified.
-Perrin's comet is already on hand and may
be clearly seen in the early morning hours.
DIR. Milton Updegraff, professor of astron-
omy in Missouri university, said, when
questioned about the comet:
'Do not quote me as saying that place
any faith in the superstitious belief that a
comet is a sure sign of war or dire calam-
ity. This of course, is absurd, but it is in
teresting to observe how often the appear
ance of a comet is followed by disaster or
conflict. The comet of 1870 came during the
Franco-Prussian war. The comet of 1858
preceded the Italian war of 1859. The comet
of 1911 came shortly before the war of 1872.
Two comets in 1851 accompanied the out
break of the civil war. One of these was
remarkably bright and the earth passed
through its tail
THE great comet of 1881 appeared short
ly before President Garfield was assassin
ated. There was a comet at the time of the
birth of Napoleon and another at the time
of his greatest successes. 1t is said to have
attained its greatest brightness over the
latitude of Paris and to have vanished AT
the latitude of Corsica. A monster comet
was blazing in the sky during the reign of
Nero
CONTRARY to the superstition, however
L remember when seven comets were Wis
ible at one time and no disaster or trouble
whatever followed. "-Chicago Times-Her-

CHURCH EXTENSION
Universalist Meetings in the Friday
Morning Club Rooms

! The Jniversalist church extension meet
! ings opened yesterday afternoon In the
rooms of the Friday Morning club After
devotional exercises Mrs. H. B. Manford,
president of the Woman's Universalist as
sociation. spoke briefly of the objects OF
that organization. Rev. l.. II. Shinn of
Boston general missionary of the denom-
nation, who arrived in the morning from
Pensacola, Fla, preached from Luke, ii-9
Fear not, for behold 1 bring you good
tidings of great joy"
The speaker said, in part: 1.-THE mean
ing of the word gospel is good news-a mes
sage of love from the Father for all his
children. This message has never been re-
iected, and never will be when it is un-
derstood. Those who believe that God has
agencies sufficient to carry the glad mes
sage to all and interpret it to all are Uni
versalists. If we profess to believe this.
then we must be heroic messengers: prove
ourselves true believers by living the faith,
by teaching and defending the faith. The
only Universalists worthy the name are
those who are whole-hearted witnesses.
willing to give, work, sacrifice and stand
for their Interpretation like strong, brave
men and women"
DR.. E. L. Conger and DIR. Hanson fol-
lowed in brief addresses on similar lines
of thought.
In the evening Rev. w. NJ. Jones
preached on the subject of christian Disci-
pleship," which he defined as consisting not
in belief, nor in observing outward rites,
nor in excess of emotion, but in the proper
balance of all these. Emphasis was given
to the fatherly nature of God and in broth
ery moral relationship. Living a Christ
like life in Christian dscipleship
Rev. l.. NJ. Andrews of Santa Paula will
preach this afternoon at o'clock, and DR..
Conger in the evening at 1880.

A RIOT OF COLOR
Old Glory Thrown to the Breeze by City
Officials

Throughout the city hall color runs riot {;
through the halls and in every Office shine
the folds of Old Glory and right well in
their patriotic ardor have the city fathers
bedecked the municipal building in the
glorious Stars and Stripes Over the STAIR
way at the main entrance is draped mag
nificent flag and everywhere The visitor
turns the red, white and blue meets the
eye.
An informal discussion was held among
the councilmen Wednesday afternoon as n
result of which the finance committee held
a meeting and resolved that it would be
money well invested to lay in a stock of
flags for the permanent decoration of the
city hall. The largest that could be pro-
cured in the city was draped over the main
stairway, while another is feStooned in the
council chamber back of the president S
chair A third decorates the wall in
Mayor Snyders office, while every depart
ment in the building has been remembered.
Street Superintendent Drain has gone to
some expense personally in decorating his
quarters. Over the doorway are festooned
two silk flags surrounding the legend:
Remember the Maine" while picture of
the Inflated battleship adorns the glass
panel of the door. In the public and pri-
vate offices silk flags are tastiy arranged
making fine showing.
President Silver was agreeably surprised
by being presented with two large silk
flags with the compliments of the news
gatherers and your colleagues in the coun-
GILL" He was at lunch when the flags We're
placed on his desk and was vsibly affected
when he returned and saw the gifts.
The fire department boasts of a beauti-
