IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA
PASADENA.
Pleasant Social by tho Ladle*' Leag-ne-
Funeral of Newton Kohn.
The Ladies' league oi the Universal
lne church gave an informal social in
tha chnrch parlors this afternoon which
was well attended. While tbe meeting
was of an informal character a very in
teresting programme was carried ont
and thoroughly enjoyed. A selection on
the piano by Mrs. Fuller waa followed
by a reading by Mrs. A. J. McClatcbie
which was listened to with much atten
tion. Mrs. A. H. Judson, formerly of
Los Angeles, but now of this city, waa
called upon ior a speech and responded
with a very interesting talk open tbe
work of the Southern California
Womans' parliament which recently
convened in this city. The next meet
ing of tbe parliament will be held in
Broadway M. K. church, Loa Angeles,
in October next. Mrs. Jndson also
spoke oi tbe work of the Friday Morn
ing club of Los Angelas, stating tbat
the club had secured permanent rooms
and would be glad to welcome ladies
from outside places.
Rev. Florence Hal lock followed Mrs.
Judson'e remark* with an informal talk
upon the necessity of improvement in
woman's work in the chnrch. She was
of tbe opinion that too ranch of their
time was put in in endeavoring to bene
fit tbe financial condition of their
churches to tbe neglect of their own in
tellectual improvement. As one ot the
remedies for this state of affairs she
suggested tbat the ladies of the city
form a literary clnb for the mutual bene
fit and improvement oi its members, so
that tbe ladies of this city need not go
to Los Angeles to find means for their
intellectual advancement.
Miss Kollock's suggestions met the
hearty approval of the ladies present
and some action looking toward such an
organisation will probably be taken
Tbe programme closed with a piano
solo by Mrs. Fuller.

Riverside, Sept. 26.—Constable Car
penter's bill for the capture of Stone,
the man who* robbed Station Agent
Goodwin at Indio, some time since,
came up for coneideration yesterday
before the supervisors met in regular
session. The claim waa advanced that
the constable had overstepped hie au
thority and captured the criminal in

papers. He waa alao placed in a bad
light by not attending the trial of hia
prisoner before Judge Noyea in the supe
rior court, after assuring the diatrict
attorney that be would do without being
subpoenaed aa ie usually the custom of
constables. His action caused tbe re
lease of the prisoner, as the state did
not have sufficient testimony to convict.

Peach baskets in a few weeks will be
come a nuisance to be got rid of as quick
ly a» possible. Just now they are in
great demand, and huge trpes are being
gnawed up by tho insatiable machine* l
that are being run to their full capacity
in the making of them. The wood used
is poplar, gum and sycamore, and occa
sionally birch, and costs $1 a cord stand
ing in the forost. The tree is cut down
nnd sawed int£> short lengths, and the
logs are then plunged into a hot water
bath, whGre they stay 24 hours. Then
they are taken out, the bark stripped off,
and the wood split by curious machines
into veneering thicknesses, which are
then run through various other compli
cated machines until they emerge com
pleted fruit baskets. The men who
make them are paid a cent a basket, and
if expert they turn out 250 a day. When
the basket is finished, it is still damp
from its hot bath, and it is dried thor
oughly before shipping to prevent mil
dew. —New York Times.

A TRIP UP MT. LOWE.
Incident* of a Journey from Kcho to
the Higher Peak.
Yesterday morning a well breakfasted
company, consisting of Prof. T. S. O.
Lowe, Col. Charles Forman, Judge
Waldo If. York, A. P.West and William
H. Knigbt, left the beautiful dining
room at Hotel Rubio, ascended tbe great
cable incline to Echo mountain, gazed
with admiration npon tbe beantiiul
scenery spread out before them like a
landscape garden, mounted five well
trained, sleek-coated animate, and form
ing a merry cavalcade of mountaineers,
reined their steeds into one of the well
traveled bridle roads which penetrate
the fastnesses of the higher ranges, and
ultimately, after devious turnings and
zigzags and winding in and out, but
always moving on an np grade, eventually
lands the rider on the lofty, dome-like
enmmit which dominates the Sierra
Madre, and is known as Mt. Lowe.
It was a thrilling ride, even for those
who .had before traveled through tbe
deep, rock-ribbed gorges, nnder tbe
shadow of the bold Irish tower lifting
its turrets a thousand feet into the blue
sky, among tbe giant pines whose
gnarled roots clasp the mountain side
like a monster tarantula, and whose
horizontal branches project 60 feet from
their parent stem. It was an exhilirat
ing ride, for the pure ozone, a full mile
above tbe haze and dust of the valley,
filled the lungs with a stimnlating, al
most intoxicating fluid, and the gray
haired boys were ac jocund and frisky
as if just let loose from school.
Tbe magnificent vistas of mountain
valley and sea, rock-ribbed cafion and
forest-covered elope, the cities and ham
lets in tbe valley, and tbe islands fring
ing tbe ocean chore, constantly elicited
exclamations of surprise, pleasure and
delight.
On the summit Prof. Lowe pointed
out the granite ledges forming tbe
northern buttress like an artificial wall
—much of tbe stone being naturally
squared and shaped ready for the ma
son's derrick and trowel. Here the
great observatory tower will be located,
with terraces at the base, and tbe great
hall and dining rooms will be placed
further along on tbe projecting shoulder
below. The summit can be reached by
a mountain railway presenting engineer
ing difficulties no greater than those en
countered in Rubio cafion, but Colonel
Forman, appreciating tbe grand possi
bilities of the situation, suggested that
a lift similar to the great cable incline,
but longer, would materially shorten
the time and distance in reaching tbat
point.
"Yes," said the professor, "and it
would also materially reduce the cost of
construction, for he bad already contem
plated tbe feasibility of duplicating bis
masterpiece on the upper summit, but
desired to elicit from the practical mind
of the distinguished Comstock miner,
an unprovoked opinion of bis own.
Returning, the party rode through the
umbrageous shade of the great forests
clothing the northern elope of Grand
cation and at a sudden turn of the road
came in view of the Crystal Springs log
cabin, beside which, nnder a epreading
mountain maple, an extemporized table
loaded with chicken sandwiches, boiled
eggs, sardines, cheese, apple pie, juicy
pears, grapes, doughnuts, etc., quickly
became tbe center of industrious atten
tion. These were washed down with
good Rhenish and sparkling fluid from
the crystal fountain.
Emulating the fad of venerable poet
Holmes, who carries a tape to measure
all the remarkable trees encountered in
his eaunterings, Mr. Knight proceeded
to make a record of two adjacent Dou
glas spruce trees. One of tbem bad a
girth of 19 feet and another 17is and a
man on horseback could hide behind
either of tbem.
As the party descended towards Echo
tbey looked down into many beautiful
mountain dells, fit abode for mountain
fairies, and where, in the days to come,
many a mountain cottage will be built,
and tbe happy occupant may breakfast
in his lofty eyrie, proceed to his busi
ness in Los Angeles, an hour and a half
away, and return to his home in cloud
land for bis evening meal.
A magnificent eagle soared aloft as tbe
party were gazing on peak beyond peak
stretching northward towards the Mo
jave desert. "Ah," said Judge York,
"your soaring cable cars approach the
nearest to tbat smooth, silent, untiring
movement, of anything we have on
earth."
"Perhaps, so," said Prof. Lowe, "but
it is possible for us to imitate tbe flight
of that eagle, and that feat will yet be
achieved by man."
