of this fact tonight, and the news will
be welcomed by Pasadenans and Sier-

long sought link of connection be-
tween the two places. A large force
of workmen begins work tomorrow
morning installing the required lines,
and the books Of the local office show
that over thirty families and places
of business in the foothill city have
contracted for the service. Sierra
Madre will not be given separate
exchange but all of these subscribers
will be connected with the Pasadena
exchange ana given every advantage
possessed by the present members of
the Pasadena exchange.

up Pasadena business men and give
their orders for goods, and Pasadena
merchants can speak to their custom
ers in Sierra Madre-and both without
toll or any charge whatever Thus the
wishes of local business men in the
matter OF attracting the trade of sub
urban towns is given a splendid i'm
petus by the action of the Sunset
company.
Wellesley Women Meet
The Wellesley College club of South
ern California met this afternoon at
the home of one of it's members, Miss
Edith Ames on Palmetto drive, but
owing to the general gloom occasioned
in the city by the sad catastrophe
caused by earthquake and fire in the
northern bay city, the meeting was
shorn of it's projected social features
and given over merely to the matters
Of routine business which must need
be attended to. Preparations had been
made for a rather elaborate service of
refreshments, but at the suggestion of
some of the members at the last mo-
ment the dainty sandwiches which
were to have formed the principal part
of the refreshments were bundled up
and sent to the sufferers at San Fran
cisco by way of the special relief train
at l p. m. over the Santa Fe. Miss
Margaret Stratton was the guest of
honor, and guests We're present from
Long Beach, Claremont Los Angeles,
Pasadena and other places in this sec
tion of the state.
Prominent Citizen Dies
Robert W. Fielder. aged 72 years,
died today while driving his express
wagon through the streets the first in
timation passersby had of the old mans
indispostion being had when he was
noticed to slip slowly but inertly from
his wagon to the street When as
sistance reached him he was dead. 1t
is believed that the man had an at
tack of heart disease, to which it is said
he has been accustomed, and that death
came with such suddenness that there
was no time to call for help. At first
it was believed that death came from
the fall from the wagon but this theory
has been abandoned. The deceased
came to Pasadena three years ago and
since that time has come to be widely
known. He is survived by son, c. w.
Fielder, and a daughter, Mrs. M. J..
Griggs. Funeral services will be held
Sunday afternoon at the chapel of
Adams, Turner & Stevens.
