A Morning Ride in Southern
California.

Oae day Of our visit 10 the Pacific
coast was set aside for quiet drive,
which promised to give US glimpse of
several of the characteristic features of
Southern California, without which we
feel that our trip would be Incomplete.
The first part of the drive, through the
finest residential portion OF Pasadena,
showed US many very beautiful homes
minister Conger's, Mrs. JAS. A. Gar
fields, and Philip Armour, JI's, among
others), with their magnificent grounds
one mass of bloom, the roses often
even covering the roofs aud smaller
trees. The roadsides were lined with
palms and pepper trees. The air was
laden with the fragrance of the orange
blossoms, and resOunded with the sing
ing of knocking birds.
Among the jewellers in this enchant.
ing country, we found there were many
whose former homes had been 10 that
other "Garden Spot of America" Show
hogan, Maine. In the brief time allotted
to US, we were so fortunate as to see
Mrs. L. Il. Webb and family, Miss Belle
Allen, Mr.. A. r. Bixby and daughter,
and also by chance Mrs. Jefferson Tay-
lor and Miss Kezzie Monroe, whose home
is thirty miles farther south. A contin-
alton of this drive brought US TO San
Gabriel, the oldest town in South Cali
fornia, with its queer little adobe houses,
and best of all its old mission. Though
this was built in l75l, we found 1t in
good repair and In constant use as a
place of worship. We were shown
through the building, climbed the old
stone staircase and counted several of
the seven bells which had originally
called the Indians to worship. Next we
visited station near by. where oranges
were washed, sorted, packed and ship
ped, the labor being done by Cinnamon
and Mexicans, many of them women
Our homeward drive took us over one
of the great ranches, this one consisting
of IA 900 acres. The long winding road
was lined with palm trees, alternating
with the olive, and the ranch was cover
ed with great orange and lemon groves,
apricots. olives, grapes and nuts.
The whole ride left in my mind two
beautiful California pictures, represent
ing two distinct periods of her history !:
one is of the little adobe village, with its
quaint historical mission; bringing to
our minds the bravery and suffering of
those old Fathers who gave their lives to
the. civilzing and Outstanding of the
native Indians, so many years ago
The other-the modern palatial resi-
dences, with their magnificent grounds
and avenues-homes full Of comfort and
ease, where may be enjoyed to its fullest
extent the wonderful ideal climate. In
this picture belongs, too, a tiny cottage,
veritable bower of flowers, which was
pointed out to us as the spot where
"Ramona" was rewritten that old story
which tells US, with such beauty and
vividness, of the life represented in the
first picture, making our hearts ache
with pity for the poor Indian, helpless
before the ambition and greed of the
white man. MARY CUSHING PALMER

Death of John LashOn

The pr0p!e Of our town were much
surprised 90 Friday morning, to leafa u
the death Of John L4shon, It well known
and respected eitiz n and veteran q the
civil war, which occurred THURSDAY evra-
Ing, after brief sickness. He had not
not been In bis usual tone Of health for
some days and was making arrange
ments TO take his usual summer yaca-
ton. On Wednesday morning, about !
O'Clock he experienced shock bld
another one on Thursday, from which he
died.
He was native Of Canada, but cam
here early In life and always made
5kowhegan his home. His aye VIZ
sixty.one years He was genial, kind
hearted man and will be greatly missed
among his associates and friends. He
is survived by his wife; son. Charles
who resides is town, and daughter.
MIS-. Dore, who lives 10 Lowell, Mass.
He served IN the war of lsGl.5 10 the
2lst Maine Company l.; WAS brave
soldier and took much interest in afftirs,
relating to veteran organic ltious. He
was an honored member Of Russell Post.
G. A. r., and of Abraham Lincoln Com
mand, L. Y. L. Funeral services
were under the auspices of Russell Post
at bis late residence, on Sunday at 2
O'Clock p. M, conducted by Rev DR.. ".
II. Spencer.
There was large attendance at the
funeral of the members Of the Grand
Army and of Union Veterans. Seven of
those present were comrades in the same
regiment: S. NJ. Sawyer, Henry A. Var
ney, Benz. F. Bigelow, S. c. Durrell
Howard Burgess, Augustus Crowell and
FL. ?. Cannon. The first four of these
with c. G. Grover and A. P. Cleveland
officiated as pail bearers.

expired he enlisted in the navy and
served the remainder of the war, Joseph

the employ of Il. L. Mitchell for the
long continuous term OF 81 years.

lt is given out, perhaps by inspiration
from st. Petersburg through the Wash.
ington channel, that the Russian
government will not be able to receive
the petition of American Jews relative
to Kishineff massacre which our govern.
ment has undertaken to follow, but will
politely but firmly return it and will
excuse itself on the ground that as it
scrupulously refrains from interfering
in the affairs of other nations so it must
insist that others do not interfere with
Russian affairs. Such reception would
be likely to cause a GOODNESS In relation,
but is it true that Russia minds her own
business as claimed? Does she not have
finger in every pie In eastern Europe and
In Asia. She has paid spies everywhere.
She foments disturbances In the Balkans
with the hope and expectancy of gain
Ing thereby. She NEEDLES in Bulgaria,
in Servia, in Turkey. She intrigues
in Persia, In Afghanistan, In China, In
Corea-always and everywhere to the
end OF Increasing her huge bulk and
extending the sway of absolutism.
The rejection of the petition with any
such show of virtuous Indignation would
be piece of Muscovite hypocrisy.

Crystal Wedding.

Rev. and Mrs. Daniel Onstott observed
the fifteenth anniversary of their mar
rage by crystal wedding at the parson-
age, Friday evening. The occasion was
in every way a delightful one. The in
vitations, printed on neat souvenir cards
of celluloid, were widely circulated
among the society and townspeople, and
met with general acceptance, the capa-
city of the parsonage being taxed to its
utmost.
The decorations, which were under the
supervision of Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. A.
Leighton, were unique and appropriate.
Pendants of glass, giving the effect OF
icicles hung from the ceiling of the din
ing room. A bank of crystallized ferns
lent a further appropriate effect. All
the rooms were more or less abundantly
decorated with plants, flowers, ferns and
eyergreens.
The pastor and his wife received the
guests. Miss Pearl Maddocks, Mis-;
Minnie Littletield, and Miss Mary Gar
land acted as ushers. After a briel
musical program, refreshments of ice.
cream and cake were served by Misses
Mary Nay, Jessie Maddox, Leila Fair.
brother, and Lila Howes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Onstott were pleasantly
remember by numerous gifts, mainly OF
cut glass, dishes, and vases. The Socis
Circle presented them with woven rust
chair and handsome set of dishes.

Climbing Roses.

June and July are the months to train
climbing roses. The hardy climbing
roses are the main reliance in the north,
for free effects. and one of the most artistic
uses to which they are adapted is for en-
towering yerandas, balconies and door
ways. Other picturesque uses for climb
ing roses are as a covering Tor summer
houses and canopied walks, for arching
gateways or festooned from post to post
along driveways, using heavy wires for
support. A very pretty effect is secured
by training a climbing rose TO a substantial
post Of imposing height, the result being
pillar OF roses. The crimson rambler is
the most satisfactory variety to use for
these purposes Oher fine "rambersn
are Psyche, Philadelphia and the Dawon
Dorothy Perkins, new climber, Comber-
land Belle, a new moss rose climber, and
climbing Cothilde Soupert will all COM
mend themselves to lovers of roses.

Portland Argus: Public opinion in this
country will generally approve President
Roosevelt's decision to transmit to the
Russian government the petition of Jew.
ish citiz2ns of the United States who
seek redress for the grievance of their
race in Russia. What the Jews In this
country complain Of Is not only that
men of their race born in Russia are
oppressed and mistreated, but that Jews
not natives of Russia cannot visit that
country on the same terms as men of
other races. 1t seems reasonable that
the presentations of American Jews in
behalf OF their Russian co-religionists
should be heard at ST. Petersburg as well
as at Washington. Whether the Russian
government will regard it in that light,
however, remains to be seen. The init
nation has been given that Russia would
brook no interference with her domestic
affiirs, and the CT IRIS government NAV
view the mere transmission of this petit
ton in that light, and resent it. Perhaps
it will be content to send counter repre-
sensations against the barbarities OF
American lynchings as gentle reminder
that nations which live In glass houses
cannot affDrd to throw stones. 1t must
be admitted that the opportunity is
tempting.

George W. Drisko of Machias. a Y,

George w. Drisko of Machias, vet
eran journalist who has been a member
OF the Maine Press Association since it's
organization, 40 years ago, has been
devoting much of his time for the past
year or two to writing history of his
town OF Machas, which he has now
completed and is In course OF publication.
1t will be volume of about 500 pages,
and will appear next September. Ma
chias has most interesting and stirring
history, reaching back to time before
the Revolution and embracing several
considerable engagements between the
American militia and British troops,
following the famous affair of the cap
ture Of the British war vessel Margharita
by Machias men. All this early history,
much Of it little known by the public
now, together with the subsequent story
of the town. Mr., Drisko has complied
with great care, and his ability as a
writer is such that we know 1t will be
one of the most readable as well as
valul books of Maine history.
