PASADENA BREvITIES
The Water Question Probably Settled.
Universal Brotherhood

PASADENA, Nov. l3.-(Office of The
Herald, l6 West Colorado street. Telephone
red 675.) The solution of the water ques
ton referred td in this mornings Herald
seems to have been reached and an under
standing between the municipal ownership
committee and the water companies finally
arrived at. A meeting of the representa-
tives of the city and the companies was held
yesterday in which it was agreed that the
two old water companies would sell out to
the city for fair and reasonable price,
without any reference to the San Pasqual
Water company or any complications what
ever, and the deal is to be completed with
in two weeks. The fullest understanding
and best relations exist between the com
panies and the committee. The work of
Engineer Lippincott will be pushed to
completion and the price to be paid for the
water works somewhat determined by his
| figures, but the deaS is practically settled
and municipal ownership secured.
The meeting of the Universal Brother
hood organization at the board of trade
rooms was well attended tonight. Abbott
Clark lectured on "The Dawning Day." In
brief he said: The dawning day means the
sunrise of a new day and the outpouring of
a new life and light. Periods of mental and
moral light and darkness succeed one an
other as do day and night and are governed
by similar cosmic laws. We are entering a
new period in the affairs of men, as is evil
denced by the widespread liberality, hope
and fraternity. Old ideas and conditions
are passing, new day is dawning. Cour-
age and hope thrill the nerves of men with
new life. Calamity howlers are sitting by
the pool of their own discomfort while tri-
umphant humanity is passing on to great
and glorious future. The world awaits a
leader who will embody the aspirations of
the people as the sun focalizes the energies
the demand of the hour.
