tine occupied the attention of the board

Signatures of seven of the judges of the
superior court were attached to a letter
requesting the removal of the county law
library to the court house or to some
convenient place within block of the
court house. where it could be available
for use. At the present time the judges
claim the library is so far away it is not
available for reference work, and 1t is
out of the question to get authorities
during the hearing of case when dis
puted points of law arise which must be
| settled at once.
The matter was referred to the COM
mittee on court house affairs, who will
report on it at the next meeting. The
letter was signed by the following: B. N.
| Smith, Curtis d. Wilbur w. p. James,
| George II. Hutton, James c. Rives Fred
| ericS w. Houser Walter Bordwell
| or great Importance to the residents of
! the mission town of San Gabriel was the
communication to the board of supervis-
ors signed by Attorney j. E. Harmon re-
| garding the nuisance alleged to have
been practiced by the Pacific Electric
railway i'm the pretty suburb. Attorney
Harmon claims in his letter that the cor
poration has appropriated the street and
| highway in front of the old mission
| church as private freight depot, block
ing the thoroughfare with its freight
cars several of which he says are always
to be found standing there. Recently he
saws a string of oil cars have been lined
up there making the traffic for other
vehicles dangerous and almost impossible.
| Supervisor Manning of the San Gabriel
district presented the matter. The rail-
way company was served with a notice

Return of churchman Occasion for
Fine Rendition of Romantic Sacred
Drama, "The shepherdess
of Lourdes"

Tn honor of the return of Bishop Conaty
the Young Ladies' sodality of st. Jo-
seph's church gave "The Shepherdess OF
Iourdes' last night before large au-
dience. This play was well staged by
the Young women and was decided ar
tistic success
At the close of the first act Bishop
Conaty entered the hall, escorted by
Rev. Raphael Fuhr, o. F. M, the pas
tor. Earlier in the evening the bishop
had made the opening address at the
charity performance at the Mason the-
ater.
AS Bishop Conaty reached the front of
the hall he was met by eight pretty girls
attired as angels, who presented him with
a large bouquet of carnations, and also
one to Rev. Francis ]. Conaty, who ac-
companied the bishop.
Following this the choir sang a song
of welcome, which was composed for the
occasion by Father Fuhr. Bishop Conaty
responded.
The play presented last night was one
of the most successful given by this
sodality. 1t deals with the appearance
of the virgin to a peasant girl, Berna-
delta. at the now famous grotto at
Lourdes. The trials of the peasant girl,
well portrayed last night, give place to
those of the blind young princess of the
house of Valencia, San Sebastino, Spain.
The blind princess. accompanied by her
Young sister, go to the grotto, where she
il cured and where all ends happily for
the princess as well as the peasant.
The young women gave some fine de-
lineations of character last night. The
various scenes were enhanced by large
number of young ladies who presented in
tricate drills.
The stage settings. especially in the
palace scenes, and the costuming We're
elaborate.
An elaborate musical program had been
arranged by Father E'uhr for the event.
Both pastor and players We're greatly
praised by the bishop for the perform
ance given
