/ weeks ago the Rev. Albert Hatcher
Smith Of Scranton. Pa, was asked to
! preach month for the First Baptist
church of this city, with a view to
! settling here II fully satisfactory To-
day following the regular services of
the morning, a unanimous call was ex-
tended to him to remain indefinitely.
. at a salary of s250O. While the call has
not been formally accepted, It Is under
stood that Mr.. Smith will remain here,
only going east for his household goods.
The sum of 5000 was allowed him
. toward his moving expenses by the
church.
! This probably ends all differences in
. this church, which for year past has
! been divided into two factions, which
. could not agree as to the former pastor.
: Rev. G. H. Hobart. Finally last De-
cember they agreed that for the best
: interests of the church the resignation
of Rev. Mr. Hobart should be accepted.
. Shortly after this was done the tempo
rary call was extended to Mr.. Smith.
I At the business session which followed
the preaching service this morning,
. Deacon S. D. Cary. the chairman of the
pulpit committee called the meeting to
: order, and c. H. Barker was made
chairman. The formal call to the pas
torate was then extended to Mr.. Smith,
the vote being unanimous.
Altadena incorporation Prospects
The question of the incorporation of
!. Altadena as a city of the sixth class
: will come up again before the board of
supervisors on Tuesday, and it is eX-
: pected that the matter will then be
definitely settled The sentiment of
! the residents is nearly evenly divided
. numerically, but the balance of wealth
: is on the side of incorporation. 1t is
thought by some that a compromise
may be effected by the supervisors
and the territory in which there is
. strong objection excluded.
Altadena has a population of about
$50 people of the most cultured and
; progressive class. The majority of the
residents are men of wealth, with large
; estates similar to English homes
Pasadenans Honored at Stanford
Late word received from Stanford
. tells of honors for the Pasadena young
.. people in the senior class there. A. l..
Trow bridge. president of the senior
class, has announced the names of the
! students who will have charge of the
commencement week festivities in May.
: These positions are thought to be
great honors by the seniors Delmar
: M. Reynolds of this city was chosen
. to write the class will. Miss H. A.
Traphagen, also of this city, was
placed on one of the leading commit
tees for the day. Commencement dates
are from May IA to Is. Many Pasa-
= dena people will attend.
Spanish Dances
The long anticipated Spanish dances
given under the auspices of the Shakes
peare club, and deferred from the last
day of January because of the flood"
will take place on Wednesday of this
week at the Lowe opera house, be-
ginning promptly 2:3O o'clock. The
repetition has been arranged only after
considerable work on the part of the
club women, and in all probability this
r will be the last opportunity for the
tourists and others not living here TO
see these old historic dances. 1t is posi-
BILE, too, that even residents of South
, ern California may not be able to wit
, ness them in their perfection again.
since the younger generation of the
Spanish do not know the gracefully
intricate dances as did their parents
> Several additional features have been
g added to the former program. These
I additions are most attractive and in

) dances. With Ell Nino Ernesto. the g.

4 with his grace and beauty at the pre-
vious performance, will appear the lit
? tie maiden of his own age who taught
$ him the pretty dances which he gives
! with so much perfectness. Special
) rates are offered to the school children,
and as Wednesday is a holiday it is
expected that there will be a large
attendance of the young people from
[ the local schools.
