VISIT OF The BISHOP
ADJUDICATION OF THE CATHOLIC
CHURCH OF SAN BERNARDINo
Solemn High Mass ON the Occasion
With Sermon by Right Rev.
Bishop Montgomery

conu SdUdiicrid IL III cldIBe, was uue scene
today of important cercmonials, the edifice
being crowded to its full capacity with wor-
shippers and visitors. The occasion was the
rededication of the building, which had been
remodeled and renovated to such an extent
that it is comparatively a new structure.
The improvements consist of an extension
of the auditorium twenty feet to the rear,
making room for seating l20 more people;
putting in new sanctuary and sacristy;
also three new affairs, the main altar being
a magnificent piece of work, all done by
home artisans; repainting the entire build
ing outside and inside, making the church
edifice one of the finest in the city. In this
work Father Caballeria has taken hold per-
sonally with the workmen, doing much of
the labor himself, besides supervising and
planning the whole of the changes.
Early mass was celebrated at o'clock by
Father Caballeria, and at 10 o'clock solemn
nigh mass was rendered by Very Rev, j.
Adam of Los Angeles al celebrant, Father
Caballeria, deacon, and Father Fitzgerald
OF Redlands as subdeacon, the Right Rev.
Bishop Montgomery presiding and preach
ing the sermon. Millard's mass in D was
sung by Mrs. Strowbridge, Miss Marie
Parker and Messrs. A. c. Rudolph and FL
mer Smith. Vespers were said at p m,
and reception rendered the bishop by the
Children of Mary in the evening.
AUF WIEDERSEHN
There was very pleasant farewell given
yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs.
ii. NJ. Barton to Miss Adele Ball of Coro-
nado, who has been visiting the former for
the past month and returns to her home on
Tuesday. The occasion partook of the ma
ture OF an afternoon tea and guessing con-
test. The main feature was to pass dozen
small walls filled with liquids around to the
guests and offer prize to the one who could
by the use of the olfactory nerves correctly
name the contents. A vial of water they
all failed on. The winner was Miss Olive
Byrne, the prize being an elegant cologne
casket. The BOBBY prize, an onion in a
handsome silk bag, went to Mrs. s. S.
Draper. Those present were Misses Bridge
man, Zilpha Ames, Anna Waite, Olive
Byrnc, Lutte Colbert, Adele Collver, Clara
Keller, Ida Colliver, Lillian Goldina,
Pearl Harris, Mary Barton, Estelle Coma
way, Adele Ball, Harriet Curtis Minnie
Golding, Josie Suman, Bessie Barton, Clara
Barton, Mrs. s. S. Draper, Mrs. w. T. Har-
ris, Mrs. A. d. Gibson.
POLITICAL POINTS
The division of the spoils after the cleo
ton is what is worrying the push and keep
ing the newly-elected officials in not water
up to the neck. District Attorney Curtis
appointed T. w. Duckworth as his assist
ant at the start, an appointment that gives
universal satisfaction and let's him out For
the sheriff's office there are a score or more
applicants who are fighting over the bones,
but it is thought H. H. Bingham of Cotton
has first place, with Thomas Worden as
jailer. In the clerks office j. S. Wood, an
excellent deputy the past four years, J. p
Hight, jr., of Redlands, and w. H. Sharp OF
Needles seem to be favorites d. t. Brum-
NETT, who now has charge of the recorder 8
office, is slated for assistant tax collector,
and H. E. Highly is named as second man
in the recorders office. d. A. Moulton, the
present clerk of the board of supervisors,
and Fred Drew, are named as possibilities in
the office of assessor. The treasurer, auditor
and superintendent Of schools seem to think
they can play lone hand on their respective
offices.
The coming city election, although nearly
five months in the future, is bringing the
political woodchucks out of their holes,
many of whom will be frightened at their
own shadow and run back again before the
conventions are through with them. E. j.
Gilbert, who did such excellent. work for
the Independent party at the late election,
is to be run by that party for assessor, and
will probably make a winner of it. w. b.
Reeves, T. j. Starke and Policeman Hen
derson are already Independent can
didates for marshal, with several more look
ing over the fence, sizing up the field. Dan
Hayes, G. Smithson and G. D. Whitcomb
are prominently named on the Republican
side for the office.
City Attorney Haskell will have serious
opposition to his denomination, and there
are dozen to contest the position of re-
corder with the incumbent, j. d. Faris, the
scope of the office being enlarged by the
new law making the city recorder justice
of the peace. 1t looks now as if there would
be straight political lines drawn, but the
running of the saloons wide open at all hours
of the night and Sunday, contrary to ordi-
nance, by the connivance of the police de-
partment, is liable to have some effect on
the coming election, as the "Anti-Saloon
league" has taken on new life and may en-
ter the field on behalf of law and order, and
either put up ticket or break up some OF
the other states.
REISSUE OF BONDS
There is plan in contemplation TO
bond the city for Sl50,000, which it is
thought will be in the nature Of an economic
move, replacing high rate of interest for
lower one and taking possession of the
water supply instead of paying high rem
tai for it. At the time the present water
system was put in bonds to the extent Of
$l5O,0OO were issued, but the plant cost
$4,000 less than that amount and the bal
ance would have purchased an excellent wa
ter supply. This was strongly urged, but
there were other schemes on foot and in.
stead 100 inches of water was rented at
$4,000 per year, with the privilege of buying
at $4,000 within five years, or at 500, 900 il
bought during the next cycle of five years
The first period has passed and the second il
nearly run out, after which the owner saws
he will place the figure at 100000. After
the payment of the bonds due this year
together with interest amounting to $l3.
500, there will be left $4,000 due, bearing
a rate of 10 per cent interest. To fund
these with per cents is now proposed and
at the same time to purchase the water
supply and save $4,000 per annum thereby.
