PASADENA BRIEF NOTES


PASADENA, Aug. 16.-Miss Mary M.
Williamson, who spoke before an au-
dience of deaf mutes in Los Angeles
today, is one of the most prominent
deaf and dumb young women in the
country. An instructor in the Flint
institute at Flint, Mich, Miss William
son is devoting her life to helping
other unfortunates like herself For
the past few months she has been vis-
iting in Southern California, and is
now the guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Wiegel at 1851 North Fair Oaks avenue.
In their endeavor to keep South Or
ange Grove avenue, the show street of
the city, at the highest level of inn
provenent, the city officials are put
ting in a great deal of time figuring
on~tlle resurfacing of the avenue which
has been ordered. The specifications of
Engineer Starrow, which he presented
yesterday, are not satisfactory, be-
cause they call for one inch of unoiled
crushed rock on top. At a conference
of the city officials yesterday Street
Superintendent Boyer contended that
the oil should also be put on the sur
face, and he probably will have his
way. He also wants a. deeper base of
crushed rock. After further consulta-
ton with Starrow new specifications
will be drawn up for submission to the
council Tuesday morning.
Miss Ienese Bowers, IL years of age,
preached at the Friends church this
morning. She is a pupil of the train
ing school for Christian workers at
Huntington Park, having received in
struction there from her mother, who
is one of the teachers.

PASADENA, Aug. 16.-George Whar-
ton James, author, traveller and lee
turer, has just sent to his publishers,
Little, Brown & Co., of Boston, the
manuscript of a new book, entitled
Through Ramona's Country" 1t will
be published before November 1.
Prof. James for many years has
made study of the country in which
Ramona is located, and the circum-
stances under which 1t was produced.
lie tells the story in detail, describing
the Indians who were the prototypes
of the characters in the book and the
extent to which they were idealized.
The work also forms an original con-
tribution of value by it's discussion of
the Indians of California generally. A
separate chapter is devited to Mount
San Jacinto, which plays an important
part in Ramona" Prof. James is said
TO have been the only white man who
ever made the trip entirely over this
mountain, going UP one side and down
the other.
The first of next week Prof. James
will leave for a months stay at the
Grand Canyon to refresh his memory
on some of the points of interest, in
preparation for a new book on that
subject.
In past years he has spent a great
deal of time in this region, and was
adopted Dy the AaVaSupal trlDe OF IN
dams living there. He is already the
author of the most comprehensive book
on the subject extant, but now pro-
poses to produce something in the form
of popular guide book of compact and
convenient size for slipping into the
pocket of the tourist.
This handbook will be published by
the first of next year and will be well
illustrated. In le book Through Ra-
monas Country" the illustrations from
photographs and drawings will be a
notable feature.

South Pasadena is foreshadowed by the
action taken at a general meeting of
cabinet officers of all the leagues Fri
day night.
At that time it was voted that each

At this meeting a full discussion of
the subject of actual union was held.
Practically all present agreed that the

ing central committee should be taken
as a preliminary. 1t is felt and in
tended that out Of this body, when the
interests of the members demand it, a

enough for manufacturing the capital
lists will erect plants of all kinds to
work it up.
The ten acres of eucalyptus recently
set out on the Reservoir tract by the
water commission of this city is maxi
ing a remarkable growth, averaging
more than a foot a month. The city
expects to have a valuable asset in q
few years from this source. Twenty
acres more on the Antill water bearing
lands will be set out the coming winter
by the water commission, giving the
city a total of thirty acres in eucalyp-
tuS timber.

LONDON, Aug. 17.-The British gov
ernment, according to the Daily Tele-
graph, contemplates raising a large
loan in view of the growing naval COM
petition abroad. 1t is stated that finan-
ciers of the highest standing have un-
dertaken to find $500, 100000 on nominal
terms to meet the necessities of the
fleet for the next few years without
disorganizing the annual budgets or
casting a heavy burden upon the pres
ent generation.
If such a plan is attempted It will be
because 1t is impossible to forecast the
future requirements Of the navy until
a general ship building program has
crystallized, and the setting aside of
this fund would be a declaration trans
lated into terms of cash Of the coun-
try's intention to maintain two-power
standard at all costs.

REDONDO BEACH, Aug. 16.-Fred
Farrell, a carpenter, is a prisoner in
the city jail charged with forging the
name of f. S. Sinner, contractor, to
checks and securing $1S.75 thereby.
About 6 o'clock he induced w. w. Neice
to cash one for the above amount. He
then went to the casino and ate
princely lunch, being particular to
demonstrate his tipping proficiency at
time when Proprietor Mayer was
present. Having finished his lunch he
approached Mr.. Mayer and asked to
have cashed a check calling for $S2,
with Sinners name signed to it.
Having handled many of Mr.. Sinners
checks, Mayer at once saw it was a
forgery. The check having been torn,
the figures attracted Mayors atten-
tion, and he pointed out the imper-
lection and requested him to get an
other check Farrell then wanted
Mayer to advance him $40, and, fail
then left the place and Mayer tele-
phoned to Sinner, who replied that he
had issued no such check. Sinner then
came down town and notified business
men who occasionally cash checks as
matter of accommodation to beware
of Sinner paper, as somebody was
forging his name. He notified Mr..
Neice, but too late.
The matter was turned over to Mar
shall Stanchfield, who found that Far
rell, accompanied by a woman, had
boarded a car for Los Angeles. The
officers pursuit was fruitless until the
last car left for Redondo, when Farrell
and the woman stepped aboard.
Stanchield promptly placed him under
arrest and brought him to Redondo.
When the car arrived the woman
who later claimed she had been
drugged, broke completely down and
ran out on wharf No. 1, with the de-
claration that she was going to COM
nit suicide The officers succeeded in
overtaking her within ten feet of the
gateway she was headed for, and took
her to a hotel Farrell claims he is
innocent, but it is said this is not his
first experience in signing other per-
sons names.

NEGRO PASTOR WARNS HIS
FLOCK TO PROCURE RIFLES

CHICAGO, Aug. 16.-Five hundred
members of the congregation ofQuinn
chapel, one of the leading negro
churches in this city, were told by
their pastor Rev. d. p. Roberts, to-
day, to arm themselves and be pre-
pared to defend their homes in the
event of an outbreak here similar to
that at Springfield.
Arm yourselves and be men," he
said. IF raging mob surrounds your
home, protect your household and when
the man who would ruin your family
and destroy your property steps across
the Threshold, let him step across the
body of a dead man."
He declared that America is a
cowardly nation which, with power to
defy the world, refuses to grant pro-
lection to innocent and defenseless peo-
pie forty years removed from slavery
because of their color.
Talks with the congregation indicat-
ed that the negroes fear an outbreak
in Chicago and are preparing for it.
The chief of police, however, declared
the chance of a race war here is re-
mote.

Kfmbaii's Laurels.

Editor National Tribune: / trust you
will pardon me for trying to ho.d onto
the laurels of our old brigade--Kin.-
balis--at Fredericksburg. Maj. Dwye
63d \. Y, in your issue of March 10,
says that the Irish Brigade swept ahead
of KimbalPs Brigade in the movement
on Marye's Hights, and that Caldwell's
Brigade swept over them only few
feet That is a generous admission for
Caldwells Brigade. But Kimball's Pri-
gade firmly denies that either the Iri ;h
Brigade or Caldwells swept over them.
and asserts neither of these br:gadCs
reached their line. The National Trib-
une statement that where Kimbalis
Brigade planted their banners was the
high water mark of the assault is cor
roborated by the report of Col. Brooks,
Second Corps, who had charge of the
men who buried the dead. The Major
will find that COL Brooks says in his
report that Kimbalps dead were in ad
vance of all others. Gen. Couch, Sec
ond Corps, says in the Battles and
Leaders Of the War" that kimbalfs men
were nearer the stone wall than any
brigade that followed them. we trust
this will satisfy Maj. Dwyer and the
irish Brigade that our contention is
well founded-Chas. II. Myerhoff, 14th

Naglee's Brigade.

Editor National Tribune: Referring to
the attempted correction of Comrade j.
Ellis, of Chicago, there is but little room
for a "skirmish" with me. In what L
said in a recent issue about Gen. Ma
glee's Brigade, what l had in mind par
was that the honored editor of
The National Tribune, Comrade McEl-
roy. in his very able presentation of the
"Peninsular Campaign" had assigned
the 103d Pa. to Naglee's Brigade, in
stead of the l64th Pa, Col Davis's reg
iment, from Berks County, Pa. l ac-
cept cheerfully the proposition that the
n. Y. Ind'p't Battalion also belonged to
the brigade Comrade Ellis states that
the 104th Pa. were first to cross Bot
TOMS Bridge" Let me say this ques-
ton was thrashed out by Comrade
Chick, of the S5th Pa, and Comrade
Stevens, of the 9Th Mass, in 1901, and
myself in The National Tribune, Dec.
10, 1901. To close, I-giye the following
from General Orders No. 8: "Cn May
19, at Bottoms Bridge, you waded waist
deep in the swamps of the Chickahom-
my. You drove away the enemy, and
were the first to cross that stream" ="
Comrade Ellis is kindly referred to
Comrade H c. Miller, S14 E. Capitol
St, Washington, d. c., of the SD Pa.
He was one of the first 200 picked men
to explore, save from fire, capture and
cross Bottoms Bridge. The SD Pa
was also the first regiment to enter
S. c., and our own Maj.
Hennessy was the first to hoist Old
Glory upon Fort Sumter in February
