PUBLIC MORALS DISCUSSED
A Seventh Day Adventist Op
poses Sunday Legislation
SAYS IT IS DANGEROUS
And lha'. !t Is an Infringement on
Keiijjious Liberty
riesttr* of tit:: Bu.ir.l of Park Commissioner.!,
the flitter of PluattCSS Conslderel.
Pasadena Mrciit Sprinklin* s
There was en Interesting meeting of the
committee on public morals of the city
council in the board of public works room
at tho city hall yesterday afternoon. There
was not a large attendance, only Council
mnn Klngory, the chairman of tho com
mittee, ttini his associate, Mr, Stockwell,
of the First ward, being present on tho
part of the council, while Rev. Mr. Owens
and one or two of his brethren, and a
newspaper reporter or two, made up the
glance of the audience.
The meeting had been called for the pur
pose of considering the petition presented
from It. S. On ens et al., protesting against
any action looking to tho restraining or
prohibiting of labor on Sunday.
Mr, Owens is a .Seventh-day Adventist
preacher, and he and his followers protest
against anything in the shape of legisla
tion recognizing the first day of the week
as the Sabbath, and incidentally discrim
inating against the seventh-day Bahhath.
Mr. (mens was in attendance and argued
at length with the committeemen in favor
of the resolution presented by him. He
said that there was a growing tendency to
have Sunday recognized in tho laws, and
that there was danger that tiiis might take
the form of persecution against those who
liid not believe in tho first-day Sabbath.
He said that believers in his faith had
been imprisoned and put to work on chain
gangs in Tennessee and otlisreastern states
for violation of the Sunday law. The
Seventh Day Adventists believed in observ
ing the seventh day of tiie week, or Satur
day, as their Sabbath, and he did not think
that they should be discriminated against.
Mr. Owens said that ho was opposed
to any legislation whatever on the Sunday
question. Men ctmld not lie legislated into
religion or morality; that was a •mention
whicli should lie left to the individual and
his conscience,
Mr. Kingery wanted to know if the gen
tleman favored the legalizing of a Sunday
f or every denomination. So far as be was
concerned, he thought that the majority
should rule, and while lie believed in every
man worshiping God according to the dic
tates of bis own conscience, there were
certain things due to society, and Sunday
observance was one of them.
The discussion took quite a wide range,
and Mr. (Iwens managed to get himself on
record on the liquor question. In answer
to a question by Mr. Kingery as to whether
lie would advocate the running of saloons
on Sunday, Mr. Owens promptly replied
that he did not believe in allowing saloons
under any circumstances. If it was right
to allow saloons six days a week there was
no use in closing them on Sunday. In
granting saloon licenses the liquor tralllc
was recognized as a legitimate business by
the authorities, and this lie was opposed to.
After some further general talk, the
committee decided to Ilia the petition, as
the matter had already been acted upon.
TME PARK COMMISSIONERS
A Plorsl Float for the Ftests Decided Upon.
Finances Discussed
Only Messrs. Teed and Post were present
at the regular hour for the meeting of the
park commission yesterday morning. As
this was not a quorum, the gentlemen sat
around and informally discussed park mat
ters with Secretary Mendenhall ami Super
intendent Ceary until about 11 oclock
when Mr. Workman dropped in and the
board got down to business.
The matter of having the park depart
ment represented in the Fiesta parade by
a floral float was discussed at some length.
It was the unanimous opinion that a float
should be provided, the only question be
ing one of money. The question was final
ly referred to Commissioner Teed and Su
perintendent Geary, with power to act. It
is safe to assume that a suitable float will
be provided, and that it will be a credit to
the department.
An itemized statement of the condition
of the various park funds was presented
by Secretary Mendenhall. According to
this statement the department had left
over from the last fiscal year a balance of
$4627.96, which, with tbe income for the
present year, made $02,186.45 available
for park purposes for the current twelve
months. For tiie seven months past the
expenditures had been $28,179.88, a
monthly average of $4025.71. This left a
balance for the coming live months of
$24,006.47. As it was desirable that there
should be at least as large a balance on
hand at the close of the fiscal year as they
started in with, and there were somo ex
penditures that were absolutely necessary,
the total amount available for the remain
der of the year was just about $20,000, or
an average of about $1000 a month With
reasonable economy, Mr. Mendenhall said,
this sum would suffice to meet the regular
bills and pay rolls, hut there was nothing
for extra improvements. The statement
was filed.
The most important Improvement now
under consideruion by the hoard is the
erection of a bund stand in tiie East Side
park. All of the members agree that a
band staud should be erected as soon as
. possible, and that it should be fully up to
that in Westlake park, but there are not
sufficient funds for this purpose. There
has been some talk of a cheap, temporary
affair until a suitable stand can be built,
but most of the members think that it
would be better to wait until at least $ 1 500
can be applied for that purpose.
Bills to the amount of $307,40 were al
lowed.
The superintendent was instructed toget
an ostimato of tho cost of repairing the ce
ment walks around the rubber trees in the
Plaza.
D. R. Woods, the foreman of the E »st
Los Angeles park conservatory, was in
structed to apply ii.c a bulge as a special
policeman, and die secretary wa* ordered
to notify the police commissioners that it
was tho wish cf thta board that the same be
granted. Mr. Woods lives in tho pork,
and the commissicnors think that ho
should be sworn in as an oilicor to batter
preserve order.
On motion, the demand presented by
City Attorney Dunn for $535 was allowed,
t.iat sum being the amount of tiie damages
nsseosed against tho park department for
the opening of a roadway on the west side
uf Echo tiark.
The demand of Frank Glencross for
$579, the final payment on tho Westlake
band staud, was allowed.
The superintendent was given permis
sion to supply flowers for an entertainment
at St. Paul's Episcopal church on the 20th
inst,
THE SEWER COMMITTEE
Recommendations Adopted for Submission to
the Council flonday
The sewer committee of tho city council j
held a brief session yesterday. Chairman
Kingery presided. Tho following recom. j
•Herniations were mado tor submission to
tbe council on Monday next:
First—Recommend that tho demand of
William Whittaker for $30, Harry Hall for

and petition No. 20!», from John Haiz'ip,
bo rafer.-ed to the city attorney 10 report if
the same aro lejal and valid demands
against the city of Los Angeles.
Second—Recommend that the ordinance
of intention to construct a sewer along the
alley south of Seventh street from Like to
Grand View avenue, be filed.
Third -Recommend that the ordinance
presented by the city attorney to sewer
Stephenson avenue under private contract
bo placed tinon its passage.
Fourth Recommend that the ordinance
of intention to construct a sewer on Sec
ond street by private contract, be filed.
Fifth—lll accordance with the recommen-
dation of the health officer, we recommend
that the city engineer be instructed to pre
sent ordinance of intention to construct

WILL SHUT OFF THE WATER
Pasadena Avenue May Not Be Sprinkled
After Tomorrow
It is probable that if some arrangement
cannot bo made for paying for the water
used, the sprinkling of Pasadena avenue
will bo discontinued after tomorrow. For
somo time past the Highland Water com
pany has been furnishing water for sprink
ling purposes free, but they will do this no
longer. The sprinkling is an absolute
necessity, and it is believed that the elec
tric railroad will pay for the water, which
is a trifling sum, comparatively, rather
than to have it abandoned. The following
letter received by Mr. J. H. Drain explains
the situation;
John H. Drain, Superintendent of Street
Sprinkling, Los Angeles:
The City Water company has a pipe on
Pasadena avenue as far north as Sycamore
grove, but only one hydrant for sprinkling
purposes. The Highlands Water company
up to date has been f iirmshiug water for
sprinkling purposes, both in Sycamore
grove and northwards. On Saturday next
the Highland Witter company proposes to
shut oil its hydrant just below Sycamoro
grove. To be courteous to you, we feci it
our duty to notify you of tho fact.
K. H. Winans,
President of the Highlands Water Corn-
Company.

PROMPTLY PAID UP
Bx-City Treasurer s>hou!tcrs Turn, $13.55
Into the Cltv Treasurer
Ex-City Treasurer Harvey J. similiters
yesterday turned into the city treasurer
$13.55, the amount ho was reported short
by the grand jury experts. This shortage
was on account of a certain street improve
ment bond being canceled by mistake
w hen that amount was due. The error
was afterward discovered, but as the per
son who owned the bond had sold the prop
erty there was no recourse. As soon as
Mr. Shoulters learned that there was an
apparent shortage against him, ho prompt
ly called at tiio treasurer's office, and ten
dered the amount claimed.

LOS AXGELES HERALD: FIJI DAY MORNING, MARCH 13, 1896.
THE WOMAN'S PRESS CLUB
Its Second Annual Meeting
Brought to a Close
WITH A TRIP TO POMONA
Entertained Royally by the Ladies in
That Picturesque Cily
Drives linfjyed and a Luncheon at the Hotel
Palomares—A Brief Description
of the Trip
Through the courtesy and generosity of
tho Southern Pacific Railroad company,
the Woman's Press club closed its second
annual meeting with one of the pleasant est
outings in its history: a day to bo marked
witli a white stone. The ladies of the var
ious clubs of Pomona and the members of
the board of trade invited the club to be
their guests on Thursday. Which invitation
they joyfully accepted, Under the special
escort of Mr. Warner, excursion agent, the
following members of the club and their
guests boarded the morning train for that
pretty little city: Mrs. Rebecca B. Spring,
Mrs. Caroline M. Severance, Mrs.
M. Burton-Williamson, Mesdames
Clara is. Brown, S. A. Bowman,
Sadie B. Metcalfe, S. H. Jordan,
S. A. McClees, Mary M. Bowman, Misses
Ella A. Giles, A. A. Chevallier, Uattie J.
Elliott, Mrs. Susie Sweet, Mrs. Martha B.
Johnson, traveling correspondent of the
lies Moines, la., Mail and Times, and the
lady members of tho C. S. Da Lino Guitar
and Mandolin club, who furnished the
excellent music for the Wednesday even
ing session.
When tho train arrived at Pomona tlie
party was met by a committee of ladies,
who escorted them to carriages. In
the fresh morning air they were whirled
away through fragrant oranga groves and
apricot orchards bursting into pink bloom;
past lovely homes set in fine grounds, to
the beautiful Kan Jose hills. It is doubtful
whether the view from this point, taking
I the altitude into consideration, can be ex
celled in any of Southern California's love
ly valleys.
It is a vast stretch of symmetrical or
chards,green fields, rolling hills and towns,
eleven of them, dotting the valley like the
beads on a rosary. Above all the beauty he
low, towers the white peaks of San Bernar
dino and Sierra Madre, to the blue sky and
fleecy clouds. From here, after a drive
through the paved streets and line blocks
of the business section of tho city,the parts
alighted at the spacious Hotel Palomares
where a committee composed of the presi
dents of the Woman's Relief Corps,the W.
C. T. C. and Y. W. C. T. 1., with many
other hospitable ladies of the city, were
wailing with members of the board of
trade to escort them to a most elaborate
and excellent luncheon, to which the long
drive ol° the morning enabled
them t.) do full justice. After
coffee and ices were served, the
toast master, Rev. Mr. Piorco of the Uni
tarian church called the company to order
and Mr. ltrady made a most cordial ad
dress of welcome.
General Wasson, editor of the Pomona
Times, responded to the toast Ttie Press
of California, paying a high tribute to the
loyalty of the papers, each its own locality.
Airs. Jordan read some humorous verses
on the press in general, and said that the
fall of ancient nations was caused by their
lack of daily papers.
Mrs. Mary II .vvm.au responded to the
toast. Woman ns a Factor in the Business
World, .Mrs. Williamson to The Hand
that Rocks the Cradle Rules the World,
and Mrs. C. S. Bonn to the lor.st Pomona.
| Mrs. Johnson spoke in glowing
terms of the newspapers of Cali
| fornia; the brightness evidenced in
i all their derartments, the excellence
of the press work and said they were not
surpassed by those of any state in tho
.union. Being asked to say something of
Pomona, she replied that site thought God
had modeled the Garden of lid en after the
Pomona valley: of course sho sut down
amid loud applause.
Mrs. Spring being called upon, gave one
of her inimitable stories, and Mr. Haskell
of the Pomona Progress paid homage to
the new woman and the new man. After
luncheon the guests were favored with tine
selections of music on violin and piano, by
Mr, and Mrs. Johnson and Miss Strifes,
vocal solos by Miss Jennie Winston of
Pasadena, and an original poem, Tbe
Scientific Man, by Mrs Metcalfe. Tho
parlors were beautifully decorated with
dowers and emblems by the various or
ganizations of women of the city.
After a walk to the packing house of Mc-
Clenuey it Co., whero oranges were being
graded and wrappeil by busy hands, then
to the excellent public library to see the
fine statue of the goddess I'omsua, pre
sented to the city by Mr. Loop, the visitors
made their way to the train, where they
took leave of the hospitable hosts with
many warm expressions of appreciation
for a most delightful day.
The following were the newly elected
ofiicers of the club: President, Mrs. M.
Burton Williamson; first vice president,
Miss Ella A. Giles: second vice president,
Mrs. Susie Sweet, Pomona: recording sec
retary, Mrs. Mary M. Bowman; corre

THE FIESTA FESTIVITIES
Important Question Settled by
the Committee of Thirty
SALE OF RESERVED SEATS
The Prices of Seats in the Tribunes
Will Be Reasonable
The Street Decoration Scheme Will Be Strik
ing Fiesta Colore, Banners, Arches,
Canopies and Palm Leaves
One of the most important questions to
the friends and supporters of the Fiesta
was decided yesterday by the committee
of thirty. The meeting of that body was
largely attended and the utmost interest
and enthusiasm was manifested. The
new members, Messrs. Bonebrake, Wi -
shire, Lsst and Walton, were present and
were impressed with the satisfactory con
dition of the many features undertaken.
When the matter of the sale of reserved
scats for tho tribunes was reached, the
unanimous opinion was expressed that the
subscribers, those who made the Fiesta
possible by their Jinancial aid, are entitled
to Home oiticial recoci.ition, and that some
preference should be shown them over
those who failed to support a public enter
prise of such vital importance to Los An
geles. The only question open for debate
was the method to be adopted to show the
committee's appreciation toward the sub
scribers, and it was decided that tbe ehoiea
of seats should be given to them.
Tho first two days of the sale of seats on
tho tribunes were set apart exclusively for
subscribers, wiio will thus be able to select
ttie best places from which to view all the
parades. A list of the subscribers alpha
betically arranged will he deposited at the
headquarters where the sale is conducted
and each purchaser will bs asked to iden
tify himself before the tickets are trans
ferred.
The prices of the seats will be reasonable
and the tribunes w ill be so grouped as to
give an equal advantage of view to all
holders of seats. This plan was adopted
in order to afford an opportunity to see the
brilliant sight of the battle of roses on
floral day.
The different committees presented their
reports that showed that the work was
well in hand and that satisfactory progress
is being made on all sides toward a suc
cessful solution of the dilflcult work in all
its details.
It has been decided to have a most strik
ing street decoration. Tho visitors who
eomo to witness the pageant will at once
Und tho city in holiday attire when step
ping from tbe railroad cars. Their eyes
will behold a magnificent display of ban
ners in Fiesta colors, extending from La
Grando and Arcade depots to Main Btreet.
Upon the principal streets the decorations
will assume the form of v long line of
arches of the red, green and yellow colors,
as canopies of bunting will bo spanned
across tiie street from tiie diirerent poles.
The effect will not only ba striking, but
grand. In addition to these decorations
over 6000 palm leaves will lie artistically
interwoven with tho colors, and the green
leaves will hide the white electric poles.
During the evenings the principal streets
will be illuminated with colored electric
lights that by their brilliancy /.ill form a
heaven of stars amidst the decorations.
The pole upon which the Stars and
! Stripes will bo raised has arrived at San
I l'edro from Washington and will in a few
• days be brought to this city. The Terminal
| railway has offered to bring the immense
pole, that maasures 110 feet in length, to
Los Angeles free of charge, and tiie park
commissioners have offered to erect it
without cost to tho Fiesta management,
Mr. John F. Francis has donated the large
flag that will fioat from its majestic height,
and consequently the city will be enriched
by the largest flag polo and largest flag
in California.
The committee of thirty will hold a spe
cial meeting on Monday afternoon at 3:30
ocioclt to confer with a special committee
of the Hotelkeepers' association in regard
to some important matters connected with
the Fiesta.
A list was presented containing tbe
names of those who had refused to sub
scribe or whose subscription had been de
creased or were deemed insufficient, and
it was decided to urge those gentlemen to
reconsider their action.

REV. ZEPHANIAH MEEK, D. D.
Eminent Methodist Divine Cured of Nervf
Trouble by Paine's Celery
Compound
Rev. Zephaniah Meek, D. D., is a house
hold name ail over the south. Since 1807
he has owned and edited tho "Central
Methodist,'' the leading paper of the
Methodist Episcopal chutch in the south.
He represented his state at the general
conference.
Ho was one of the Kentucky commis
sioners at the Chicago Columbian exposi
tion. During his ministry in the south he
has built and tledicated live chapels. He
writes from Catlettsburg, Ky., where his
home is, as follows:
"I have used several bottles of Paine's
celery compound for nervous trouble, re
sulting from overwork, and with imme
diate effect, as well as permanent benefit.
It is the best nervo tonic that I have ever
tried. It has also been used in my family
with great benefit."
Tired-out, half-sick men and women need
something more than a mere rest. They
need a positive, unmistakable nerve food;
they must have a reserve of nerve-force to
draw from, before their heads " ill cease to

It is estimated that there are over 1 0,
--1 000,000 nerve libres in the body.
So long as these minute tissues are kept
fully nourished one lives in blissful ignor
ance of any such tiling as neuralgia, head
aches or even a nervous system, but let
one become "run-down and the nutrition
of the body get low, and every one of these
myriad fibres becomes a "live wire" within
the flesh. Headaches, neuralgia, rheuma
tism and other forms of nervousness and
debility result directly from a famished
nervous system. Paine's celery compound
is able to correct this faulty condition. It
builds up the nervous system and sustains
it. The brain at once feels the strengthen

ing effects of the superb nutriment. There
are thousands of men and women today
who have been enabled to keep vigorously
at work, who must have given up but tor
Paine's celery compound.
Nervous affections are a warning to busy
people.
At the earliest sign of reduced nerve
force, inability to sleep, languor or a
gloomy hahit of mind, everyone should
look immediately to the nutrition of their
nervous system and to the purity of their
blood. Paine's celery compound will at
tend to both of these urgent need* more
thoroughly and more speedily than any
thing else in the world. Paine's celery
compound is not to be confounded with the
common preparations, the sarsapsrillss
and nervines. Being the discovery of a
man of science, Prof. Edward E. Phelps,
M. D„ LI.. D.. of Dartmouth college, it has
tiie support of the best physicians; they
prescribe it universally; and the many
sick persons made well by its use proves
that that support is merited.
To the great majority of business men a
{ vacation, to say nothing of three months of
; complete inactivity, is out of the question
:at this season, even when their brains de
mand a complete rest and their nerves
ache and threaten them with prostration.
Now. there are hundreds of business men
and hard-worked professional men in this
city in just this condition. What are they
to do. Those who are tired out, "ran
down''and debilitated at this trying season
will do well to read some of the straight
forward and convincing statements from
the men and women who have been cured
by Paine's celery compound.
Nervous weakness vanishes before Paine's
celery compound as mist before the strong,
health-giving rays of the sun. Convince
yourself of the fact at once, if your health
is at all impaired.
