SORROWS OF WERTHER
By William MaAepoaoo Thackersy.
1 WO

By William Makepeace Thackeray. Werther had a love for Charlotte
 Such as words could never utter. Would you know how first he met her She was cutting bread and butter, Charlotte was married lady,
 And @ moral man was Werther. And for all the wealth of Indies
 Would do nothing for to hurt her. So he sighed and pined and ogled,
 And his passion boiled and bubbled, Till he blew his silly brains out,
 And no more was by it troubled. Charlotte, having seen his body
 Borne before her on a shutter, Like @ well conducted person,
 Went on cutting bread and butter.

POLITICS WARM
At BEACH CITY
Many Candidates Appear Who Want
Honor Of Being First Mayor
Under New Freeholders
Charter
SneCinl to The Horald.

Special to The Herald.
SANTA MONICA, Feb. 24.--That the
initial election under the provisions of
the freeholdcrs' charter to be held here
ON April 1 is to overshadow in impor-
tance and general interest all previous
contests in the city's political history
becomes apparent as the flood of an
nouncements of candidacy by seekers
after the various offices continues to
furnish excitement more or less of the
surprise variety to the fellow Citi-
zens" of the community.
The latest happening to call for par
ticular notice is in a movement insti-
tuted yesterday by friends of DR.. j.
S. Lindsey, the Republican mayoral
candidate who withdrew from the race
Friday, who have issued statement
addressed to the voters and asking them
to insist on the doctor allowing his
name to go on the ballot.
In some circles, however, a very de-
cided difference of opinion exists as
to the motives of those attempting to
force the retired candidate back into
the campaign. 1t is generally believed
by those best informed on the question
that the doctor has no chance of cleo
tion and that his presence IN the con-
test can only result in the ticket being
split three ways, thus insuring the
election of r. II. Dudley, an alleged
corporation man, and causing the de-
feat of ]. S. Steele, the peoples can
didate, who with one opponent in the
field would have excellent prospects of
election.
There is also a possibility of w. l.
Hull, president of the board of trade
and force in temperance affairs, be-
ing persuaded to carry the Prohibition
banner by the cold water contingent
who profess to believe that it all rests
with him whether or not he will be
the city's chief executive. However,
with Lindsey out Hulls entry would
be favorable to Steele, whose platform
is a liberal one, and would cut into
the Dudley vote, which is largely dis
tributed among the "better-than-th thou"
class of citizenship.
In the matter of councilmen every
ward has a mixed assortment of as
pirants to office to choose from, the
Third and Fourth wards leading with
four and five candidates respectively.
All of these men are engaged pushing
active campaigns in their own behalf
and are being aided by their friends.
Three candidates have appeared with
in a week for the office of treasurer
and tax collector and 1t is promised
other names will augment the list.

FIRST POPULAR
CONCERT SUCCESS
RECORD CROWD HEARS MUSIC
1T HAS PAID FOR
Election Time Being Near at Hand,
City Council May Be Urged TO
Become Subscriber to
Concert Fund
Pasadena Agency.
n North Raymond Avenue'.
Phones: Sunset 1907. Home 2l2h


PASADENA, Feb. 24.-The first of the
series of band concerts paid for by pop
ular subscription took place this after
noon and as an exhibition of the popu-
lar interest i'm the event the affair
proved q decided success. One of the
largest crowds ever assembled to listen
to Sunday afternoon music came TO
Central park and testified by applause
to its appreciation.
Director Shaw of the band said after
the concert that there is not enough
money as yet from subscriptions to as
sure any long series of concerts, but
that he hopes more money Will be sub
scribed when the people see how many
people the concerts keep at home who
would otherwise go from the city be-
cause there are no Sunday attractions
in Pasadena.
1t is probable that the city officials
may be sounded to see If there is any
hope that the city will defray part of
the expense. 1t is pointed out that 1t
is usual for municipalities to furnish
music for the amusement of the people
but the Pasadena city council has so
many half-heated irons in the fire that
the flames from the treasury can hard
ly keep them decently warm as it is
and therefore there is but slight chance
of any money from that source.
Even now the merchants are paying
for the lighting of the business section
because the city did not properly IL
illuminate the streets and, with this OBJ
ject lesson in mind, the hackers of the
band will be slow in trying to obtain
support from the administration even
if election is nearly at hand.

SOCIETY CIRCUS TO BE

Special to The Herald.


VENICE, Feb. 24,-TwO largely at
tended performances of the society cir
Gus today augmenting the success
scored by the function on Friday and
Saturday evenings resulted in the man
agement deciding to continue the show
for two more days. The matinee this
afternoon furnished entertainment for
a crowd that taxed the seating capacity
of the auditorium and that was not
stintng in it's applause to the perform
crs in the various acts, all of whom re-
SpOnded to one or more encOres. Some
amusement was furnished the spectators
by the elephants, which again today
trumpeted while going through their
act and gave decided evidence of fright
during the entire time they were on
the pier. The pony drill was slightly
changed this evening, as were several
of the other more prominent acts. Sew
eral imprompu box parties gave real
ism to the afternoon performance, the
society element failing to materialize
very largely until evening, when a
good representation was present. w.
e. Ross, a veteran circus man, who has
had all matters pertaining to the show
in hand, has arranged several innOva.
tions for Monday and Tuesday evenings
performances. which viii be made spe-
cially attractive to the general public
because of the cut to so cents In the

NOVEL SERVICES DRAW
MANY TO TWO MEETINGS
Special to The Herald.

PASADENA, Feb. 24-There were
special services in the Lincoln avenue
Methodist Episcopal church today,
visiting clergyman having charge of
the exercises. The services brought
to a close a week of evangelistic work
in most auspicious manner.
Rev. T. E. Bell, an old-tiuao friend
and conference associate of Pastor f.
d. Mather, conducted the closing serv-
ices and in addition made an especially
busy day of it by speaking to the
Sunday school and Epworth league.
The men of the Y. M. c. A. enjoyed
something of a l.ovelty this afternoon
when George r. Lockwood lectured or
preached, though the address could
hardly be termed the latter, on The
Men of the Mayfiower." The address,
which aimed to show the sterling
worth of the pilgrim fathers without
bringing to the surface too many of
their weaknesses, was richly illustrat-
ed with limelight colored views.

LONG BEACH. Feb. 24.-A repre-
sentative of the North American Dredg-
ing company has been at Wilmington
within the past few days investigating
the nature of the work to be done In the
excavation of the channel which the
Wilmington Dock company recently
received government permission to
dredge.
This channel will extend from the
turning basis at San Pedro to the Con-
solidated Lumber company's mill at
Wilmington. 1t is proposed to dredge
the channel to uniform depth of
eighteen feet below low water mark TO
admit the largest merchant schooners.
Taking soundings at Wilmington, the
dredging company's representative
found that the present depth of the
channel ranges from one to sixteen feet.
The new channel will cost, 1t is esti-
mated, $15,0O0 of which the Consol-
dated Lumber company will pay $4,000
and the Wilmington Dock company the
remainder.
Work will begin i'm less than sixty
days and the dreging will have been
completed it is expected, within one
year The lumber company is said to
have made arrangements with the salt
Lake Railway company to open the
channel through their property from the
main channel to the mill.
While the North American Dredging
company desires the contract for the
work, the Wilmington company's direc-
tors say they may secure a dredger and
do the work by private contract. They
estimate that with $4,000 they can
equip an electrical dredger capable of
excavating 100000 cubic yards month.
The dredging of 100000 cubic yards
would make possible the passage of or
dinary lumber vessels, it is said, but
much larger amount of earth will be
taken out
