PATRIOTIC RESOLUTIONS
City Tathsrs Will Help Give the Boys
a Send-Off

A short special session of the city coun-
Gil was held yesterday morning, at which
that body decided to take part in the pa
rade escorting the boys of the Seventh
regiment to the depot on their way to the
front. A communication was read from
the Merchants and Manufacturers asso-
ciat ation extending an invitation to the
council to join with them in extending a
fitting farewell to the boys in blue The
invitation was accepted and the following
resolutions were then offered and read:
Whereas, In the exigency of maintaining
state of war for the liberation and resti-
tuition to the ordinary means of livelihood
of a taX-burdened and monarchically-op-
pressed but liberty-loving people of the
neighboring island of Cuba, it has been
deemed necessary for the chief executive
of these United States to call into active
service, through the governors of the re-
spective states, the organized militia
thereof to the number of 125, 900 men, and,
Whereas, The heroic, well-planned and
masterly-executed attack Of gallant Com
modore Dewey has wrested from the en-
emy the strategic and, for purposes of
war invaluable situation, the bay of Ma
nila in the Philippines thereby creating an
immediate demand for the forces Of this
coast; and,
Whereas, In response to this demand the
various companies Of the state militia sta
toned in this city and throughout South
ern California composing the Seventh reg
iment will embark for the recruiting sta
ton tomorrow, Friday, morning, at II
o'clock; now, therefore, be it
Resolved. That this council, in apprecia-
ton of the patriotic impulse which impels
this body of men, the flower Of our sturdy
young manhood, to offer their services and
their lives in this their nations contest
for the cause of humanity, do most heart
lily commend their action; and be it fur
ther
Resolved, AS a response to the patriot
ism thus evinced by these noble, self-sac-
rificing citizens, who thus willingly leave
Offices stores and workshops at duty's call,
that we call upon the patriotic citizens of
our city to refrain from their ordinary avo-
cations during the hours from 10 to q
o'clock tomorrow morning, in order that an
undivided expression of farewell may be
accorded our local heroes; and be it further
Resolved, That all departments of the
city government be closed from 10 to u
o'clock of said date, and all officials and
employees requested to join in wishing the
troops godspeed and safe return.
By rising vote the resolutions were
unanimously adopted.

FILTHY CHARNEL HOUSE
WHERE DISEASED MEAT Is
BUTCHERED FOR MARKET
Dead Horses Fed to Hogs, Which in
Turn Devour the Dead Of Their
Own Kind-Horrible Scenes

Every now and then thd city board of
health finds butcher in the city who has
| so little regard for the health of his Gus
toners that he kills and offers for sale
meat wholly unfit for food and SO diseased
as to endanger the public health. An in
| stance of this kind came to light yesterday
when Meat Inspector Hughes and Doctors
Powers and Salisbury of the board of
health inspected a slaughter house owned
by Charles Gassen, situated just outside
the city limits, on the Glendale road. The
same slaughterhouse was condemned last
fall and Gassen ordered not to kill there
This order he says he has complied with,
but acknowledges that a German and
Mexican. the same who killed and offered
horse meat for sale last fail, were in the
habit of butchering there and selling the
meat In the city.
The surroundings at the slaughterhouse
were found filthy in the extreme In the
corral yesterday were four or five hogs,
also three dead ones. upon which the live
hogs were feeding. In addition the car
casses OF two horses were seen partially
devoured. In the house were two dressed
beeves in diseased condition, the kidney
and livers Of which were in q bad shape.
This meat was condemned and the owners
forbidden to sell 1t in the city. This Is as
far as the meat inspector can 60 under the
law, on account of the failure of the su-
pervisors to pass an ordinance presented
to them by the board at the time the meat
inspector was appointed
The Mexican and German handle the
dead animals gathered up in the city, using
the skins and bones, but from the appear
ance of the two horses in the corral they
must have been badly diseased because of
the fact that the skin had not been re-
moved and was dropping off in patches.

lar army. Major Chas. d. Ball is regimental
surgeon. Captain w. M. Lewis, w. W.
Roblee and Milbank johnson go as assist
ant surgeons.
There was a rousing ending to the Eks'
banquet last night and considerable por-
ton of the city knew that the society of
good fellows was out serenading. 1t had
been supposed that the banquet would
conclude the evenings festivities, but
when the party came to break UP the Sew
enth regiment band was discovered in front
of the hall and then the Elks formed in
line and with waving flags and shouts Of
patriotism started marching through the
principal streets.
They visited the armory at the corner of
Spring and Eighth streets and there sere-
naded the soldier boys and gave them
three cheers besides. Then they continued
down Spring to First and around on Broad
way where the band serenaded The
Herald. The Elks were given rousing
reception by The Herald with booming
cannon, blazing Greek fire and swift rock
cts, which was acknowledged with re-
peated cheers.

the fact that American vessels cannot be
