DEATH OF w. E. ARTHUR
He Passed Away Yesterday at His
Pasadena Home

w. E. Arthur, the Republican politician
and city attorney of Pasadena, died yester-
day at his home on Orange Grove avenue, in
that place. Mr.. Arthur was stricken with
paralysis some days ago and has since re-
mained unconscious most of the time. Ur
to yesterday there was hope felt among his
family that he would recover, but in the
morning it was seen that his time had come
and at 2:30 in the afternoon his sufferings
were at an end.
Mr.. Arthur's recent history is familiar
As the manager of r. j. Waters congres.
sional campaign he worked increasingly,
without regard for his health or anything
but the success of Mr.. Waters. On the
day before he was stricken he had an alter
cation in the congressional committee rooms
with citizen of Los Angeles about matter
connected with the contest, and became
very much angered and excited 1t is
thought that this was the indirect cause OF
the attack which carried him off.
He came to this part of the state in 1887
and settled at Pasadena; in 1889 he was Sc
ected city attorney and has held the place
ever since. He was a candidate for the ap.
pointment of United States district attor
ney and received high endorsements for the
place. He commenced the practice of law
when he was 10 years old, appearing before
Judge Walter Q. Gresham when the latter
was United States circuit Judge. In early
life he intended to enter the army and
passed the West Point examinations but
from physical reasons was disqualified.

and are good pair of heady, fast players
They carry the bali for good gains and are
strong on defensive work. Bxby at right
end is playing his first season but is cool
and steady in his work. He tackles well
and gets down the field fast. Captain S. f.
Wharton takes care of the left side and
everything that comes his way is gathered
in. He played the same position on the '97
team and is a low, hard tackler. He runs
well with the ball and is fast at getting
down on kicks. He is a cool, heady captain
and handles his men to good advantage.
Fairchild, the right half, is a strong, hard
player, a good interferer and carries the
ball around the ends well. His strong point
lies in bucking the line. Maxson, his part
ner, is a new man at half but is a good end
runner and strong on the defense. The
quarter back, Stewart, passes the ball
quickly and accurately and is in every play.
He is hard tackler and rarely misses his
man. Hayes, at full back, is the best indi-
vidual player on the team and can always
be relied on in an emergency. He is good
ground gamer, punts well and never misses
tackle. Fairchild, Stewart and Hayes are
all members of last years team.
The men from U. S. c. are lighter than
their opponents, averaging l55 pounds in
weight, but as a rule have had more expert
ence at the game. Holland played right
guard last year but is playing a splendid
game at center, passing accurately and get
ting into the game aggressively. Ballou and
Christy, his supporters, are big, strong men,
and play a hard, energetic game. They
break through well, and are good ground
gamers. Hinman and Williams fill the
tackle positions full, and both carry the ball
well. They are active and can do good work
at breaking up interference. Van Den Berg
is new man at left end but can circle the
end with the pigskin in good style. He gets
down the field fast and is good tackler,
though he has tendency to play high.
Martin is an end man of two seasons ex-
perience and can always be relied on. He
makes good gains with the ball and is a
hard, low and sure taclsler. He gets under
kicks well and is strong at breaking inter
ference. Knoles has gone from end to half
and has not yet played the position in
game. He carries the ball well and fur
nishes good interference. He is also a
strong, defensive player. The other half,
Spence, is playing his first game at the place,
but is an old player and will give good ac-
count of himself. Captain Wright will play
quarter He passes the ball in sure, clean
style, plays his team with good generalship
and to the best effect. Murrieta, at full
back, is the best man behind the line. His
interference is strong and he bucks the line

squadron to the coast of Spain. Sec
retary Long said it would start at the
earliest possible moment, but he did
not care to give the day of departure.
The annihilation of the Spanish fleet
continues to be an absorbing topic among
naval officials. and they are giving m"st
generous praise to Commodore Schley
for the notable manner in which he
directed the fight, when the immediate
command fell to his lot. The commo-
dores friends have long predicted that
if he secured an opportunity he would
render good account of the fighting abili-
ty of the American navy and they arc
glad this opportunity was afforded. 1t
is one more, and perhaps the greatest
achievement, in a long line with which
Commodore Schley's name has been as

the Greeley Arctic expedition and the
command Of the Baltimore at Valparaiso
when war was imminent as a result
of a mob attack on the American blue
