Brevities and Personal

PASADENA, July 2S.-The death of Miss
Laura Catherine Hall, daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. ]. w. Hall of 900 Summit avenue,
occurred this morning from typhoid fever,
with which deceased had been suffering
for the past two months. Miss Hall was
2l years of age, and was born in Kellogg
Iowa. She was of very loveable dispo-
siton and her death, despite her long i'll
ness, came as a shock to her friends. 1t
was very sudden, her brother this morn
ing having felt so confident of her I'M
proyement as to leave upon a camping
trip. He was scarcely gone when he was
called back, too late to be present at her
death. Miss Clarce Hall, sister of the
deceased, has been suffering from the same
disease, but Is now thought to be out of
danger The funeral will be held Saturday
morning. at o'clock.
The Penelope's Voyage
S. II. Reynolds, brother of c. c. Rey-
nolds, who went on the Penelope to Kotze-
bue sound this spring, writes that the
Penelope was sighted 300 miles southwest
Of St. Michael on the 22d of June. s. H.
Reynolds started for the Kotzebue country
on the Grace Dollar, a boat which runs
regularly to Alaska. The Penelope ex-
pected at first to stop at Dutch harbor, but
for some reason, probably on account Of
the weather, she did not stop until she
reached East Siberia. Mrs. S. II. Rey-
nods, who lives on North Fair Oaks ave-
nue., this city, has heard from her husband
frequently. His boat will probably come
down from Alaska next month, and then
it is expected to hear from the Pasadena
party on the Penelope, with whom S. Fl.
Reynolds has doubtless been.
