LOS ANGELES COUNTY PASADENA PASADENA, June B.—(Regular Corre spondence.) There Is considerable discus sion among business men and the eltlsens generally as to the proper celebration of the Fourth of July in Pasadena, and the opinion ia expressed that thero should be some kind of a celebration that will be a credit to the town and keep the people at home on that day. Of course the large majority of Pasadena's eltlsens will go to Los Angeles to hear Bryan, and all the celebrations Pasadena can get up will not keep them at home. Still, for those few who are left, it will do no harm to allow them to whistle to keep their courage up, and on that account a little celebration suoh as Pasadena had last year, which costs but little, will be a good thing, and serve to keep alive In their memories the fact that there is such a day on the cal endar. By all means let the good work go on. The stay-at-homes will have the sym pathy of the crowds who will fill every available conveyance to Los Angeles on that day. COUOH MEDICINE Dr W. H. Prlttle, the druggist, Is out ln a card in which he says that the bottle which O'Nell threw Into the street con tained a medicine for the throat and lungs which he has repeatedly put up for in valids in Pasadena, as well as for many troubled with coughs and colds, and he adds: "On one occasion I gave the same pre scription, with glycerine substituted for quinine, to the wife of a city official, who accompanied her The same official was a party to three hours' argument and advice to Mr. O'Nell to make complaint against me. This same prescription, with varia tions, has always been used by physicians and druggists all over the country." He says: "The four-ounce prescription vial contained rock candy syrup, whisky and quinine." Dr. Prlttle has a grievance on account of being singled out as the one victim upon whom the city officials are continually pouncing, and he Is not slow to say so. He adds also: "I quote the following from the observa tion of a disinterested tourist: 'Tour present law is a farce—a travesty upon equal and exact Justice. It pleases neither saint nor sinner. It Is a cowardly make shift, equally unsatisfactory to the Pro hibitionists, the temperance man, the man of elegant leisure and the saloon bummer. It catches the minnows and permits the whale to escape through the meshes. Its principle Is simply a method of high license In the shape of fines, unequal and unjust in application and enforcement. Tou fine and Imprison a poor man for committing a crime, while the open and notorious act of the wealthy and influential hotel pro prietor is winked at and goes unchal lenged.'

LOS ANGELES HERALD: WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1897 ORANGE COUNTY SANTA ANA SANTA ANA, June B.—(Regular Corre spondence.) At last night's meeting of the city trustees the question as to whether Santa Ana shall have a public park was practically settled. The matter was brought before the trustees by the reading of a communication from Q. R. Smith, who very generously offers to donato a tract of land ln tho lurch estate to be con verted Into a park. Mr. Smith tendered the same property to a former board over two rears ago, but his offer was then re jected as the result of successful opposi tion from the east end residents. Last night the acceptance of the donation was opposed by Trustees Whitney and Edgar, but the motion to accept was carried by the votes of Trustees Avas, Grouard and Parsons from the three west end wards. The donation comprises a tract 260 feet square bounded by Second, Third, Birch and Ross streets. With his gift Mr. Smith has offered to deed a fifty-foot strip for a street, thus opening up a thoroughfare which has been considered desirable for years, but which could not be put through without a great deal of expense.

Residents in the southeastern part of the city are considerably aroused over what they believe to be a flagrant case of child abandonment. It Is known that a child was born several days ago to the 16-year old daughter of a resident ln the locality mentioned, and strangely coincident with the appearance of a babe at a police sta tion ln Los Angeles the other day the In. fant here disappeared from the household it came to cheer. The child has undoubted ly been disposed of in some way, and an Investigation will probably be made into the case.

IS A GOOD SCHEME DOUBTS AS TO ITS BEING A GAMBLE International Loan and Trust Co.'s Business to Be Judicially Defined. Patrons Who Invested The International Loan and Trust company is a rather high-sounding title, but the courts win have to decide if the business dtone by this organisation squares with the name, and also with the law. C. H. Hastings, one of the stockhold* ers, is plaintiff In a suit which will be filed today In the superior court, am: In the complaint he alleges that the business which the International Loan and' Trust company is carrying on is ln the nature of a lottery, and therefore under the ban of, the law. If it Is a lot tery he claims that he, with the other stockholders, would be liable-, for ftne3 and forfeitures, and be also damaged in reputation as well as pocket. For these reasons he asks that the standing of the company be Judicially deter mined. The plan of operatlms outlined in the circular spread abroad by the Interna tional Loan and Trust company is not altogether new. The plan was to issue. 60,000 debentures monthly at ?l each, and open to all purchasers These de bentures were to be held, twenty years, when the amount paid for them was to be refunded with compound interest. So far, so good. But right here the little Joker ap pears ln a provision that every fiftieth debenture purchased was to entitle the holder to a loan from the company of from $5 to $1000. Suoh a one would re ceive a paid-up debenture from the com pany for the amount of his loan. This he was to sign back to the company, and after it was appended'to his twenty year note, It was to be held as security for the amount of Ms loan. Then the cash was ready for him. The amount of his Interest payments on the loan was not stated. In addition to this the cir cular set forth an approximation deben ture scheme very similar in its details to the approximation prises in lotteries. In his complaint Mr. Hastings em bodies the prospectus of the company, a copy of the monthly debenture, on» of the blank twenty-year promissory notes, a paid-up debenture, and all the various blanks the company uses. He thinks they are all a subterfuge for lot tery prises. A rather odd' request is made by the Incorporators in this precious circular to the effect that all mall be sent by express. Under a recent statute mail matter excluded from the United' States, malls cannot be carried by express, and any infringement of this law renders the person or persons liable to a prose cution for felony. Chauncey K. Neale is crefiited with being the originator of this scheme, and after his arrival in Los Angeles, about eight months ago, met W. W. Norris, R. B. Dickinson and a Mr. Porter, who is now traveling ln Europe. The Incor poration was filed, and under the terms ot the incorporation papers the company was authorised to do a safe deposit busi ness, Issue debentures, make loans, and to do the ordinary business of a trust company. W. W. Norris, who is the general agent, is now traveling with Promoter Neale through the southern states, appointing agents andi presenting the scheme to prospective buyers of debentures. The local offices' of the com pany are ln the Byrne block. Quite a number of prominent people are said to hold stock in this new enter prise, and it is currently reported that a prominent law firm' has given the opinion that the scheme cannot be re garded as a lottery Indeed, it is said that the attorney general has given a similar opinion. Be that as It may, the matter will be examined into Judicially and the niceties of the business inquired into in open court. TO CELEBRATE THE FOURTH Progress of tbe Committee la Prepar ing the Program If intelligently directed effort and enthusiasm can be relied upon to count in results, the Los Angeles Fourth of July committee will glys to the citizens of Los Angeles county and the strangers within her gates on July sth an Inde pendence day celebration of the good, old-fashioned patriotic brand., that will go down' ln history as a record-breaker.
