PASADENA, March 15.—(Office of The
Herald, 58 East Colorado street.) A bold
attempt to hold Up an electric car on the
south loop was made this evening at about
9:20 at a point some 100 or so yards south

,Ibert Ollmore and E. B. Green were the

tie car. When the car was passing the
bove named point, coming north toward
jwn, two men suddenly ran out from an
rchard on the west side and tried to catch
old of the trolley. They did not hall the
ir, but approached from the rear. The
totorman saw them approach and quick
nod speed upon noting their suspicious
tanner. Tho men ran as fast as they
ould, but they evidently misjudged the
peed of the car, and so were left behind,
tad they suocoeded In catching the trolley
is ear would have stopped within a few
»ot on the decided up grade at that place,
nd, the lights being instantly extin
ulshed, the highwaymen might have
isdo an easy haul. The conductor and
otorman came on down town and notl
ed Officer Reynolds, who took the next
ir out, but could find no trace of the
rgressors.

To Beet or Not to Beet
VENTURA, March 15.—One of the stipu
lations relative to the building of the sugar
factory at Oxnard was that the farmers
ln that vicinity were to plant 10.000 acres
In beets, the Oxnard company furnishing
the seed, which was to be sold at 12 per
acre. The farmers have been notified, but
a large majority say it will be useless to
plant without rain, and that they would
take the seed gladly if a crop would be
guaranteed. Just how the affair will ter
minate cannot be settled at present, but
tho Oxnard company is unwilling to lose
$20,000, the amount Invested in seed.
Frost at Riverside
RIVERSIDE. March 15.—1t was quite
cool here last night and this morning found
a slight white frost on the ground. The
frost was heavy enough to Injure the young
and tender blossoms of all kinds of fruit
trees that have so far put forth. The or
ange trees are blooming in some localities
in the valley and these were blasted, but
then there will be more than enough left,
as there are always more blossoms than
are good for either fruit or trees. The
apiicot and early peach tree blossoms also
came in for a "scorching," but the damage
ls light

Soon After Leaving Fort
Wt-angel. Alaska

received here from parties who sailed from
San Pedro for Copper river a few weeks
ago on the Alice Blanchard that soon after
leaving Fort Wrangel the steamer ran
upon a rock and sprang such a leak that
sho was obliged to put back to port for re
pairs. The weather had been very rough,
and the steamer was only sent ahead dur

OLD GLORY PICNIC
Members of the G. A. R. and W. R. C.
Celebrate
SAN BERNARDINO, March 15,-The
members of the Grand Army and the
Woman's Relief corps held a most enjoy
able picnic today at Bloomlngton, the prin
cipal feature of which was the raising of
"Old Glory" on a new flagstaff erected
for public use. At the noon hour all as
sembled and partook of a regulation Grand
Army dinner, in which coffee and beans
wero two of the principal ingredients, after
which the assemblage was called to order
for business by Commander A. Fussel,
master of ceremonies. The flag was then
raised by Ernest F. Mack and Miss Patter
son, the son and daughter of veterans,
amid the cheers of the assembly and the
salute from the drum corps. Tbe address
on the occasion was made by Adjutant T.
C. by a short program
consisting of music by the school children;
recitation. "The National Flag," written
by Charles Sumner; recitation by Miss
Mary Balsbaugh; "picket shots along the
line" by the veterans; recitation of "The
Meaning of the Flag," written by Robert
G. Ingersoll and given by Miss Mabel
Brlggs; the closing being a selection by-
Mrs. Eliza Sullenger. president of the
Woman's Relief corps. The attendance
was large and the occasion a most enjoy
able one.
This gathering was the preliminary to
the erection ot a fine hotel at Blooming
ton and the location there of a veteran
colony, composeil of members of the Grand
Army and Relief corps. Eugene Weston,
the founder of Bloomlngton, has set aside
a large tract of land for this purpose, and
to encourage settlement by westerners he
will devote a large share of the money
received toward the erection of a Grand
Army hotel, the flag raising, today being
the symbolic corner stone of the new hotel.
THE NAVAL RESERVE
Santa Barbarans to Cruise on the
Finta—New Boats
SANTA BARBARA, March 15.—The
steamer Pinta, given by the national gov
ernment to the use of the San Diego divis
ion of the naval reserve, is expected to
reach Santa Barbara the latter part of this
week, bound from San Francisco to the
former port. The Pinta will have on board
a representative of each naval reserve di
vision in the state, including Ensign J. J.
de Laney of Santa Barbara. A letter from
his to his superior officer states that re
pairs on the Pinta, which put back to port
with leaking boilers after her first attempt
to reach San Diego, nre nearly completed,
and the vessel will probably leave the Gold
en Gate Wednesday or Thursday. The
Pinta will stop at Santa Barbara for a
few days, and the local company will be
given Its first trip at sea for practice pur
poses. The officers aboard will be given a
reception and other courtesies will be
shown them during the stay.
The Pinta brings, for the use of the San
ta Barbara division, two 27-foot boats, a
whaler and a cutter.
The Pinta ls a small steamer, of about 250
tons' burden, somewhat smaller than the
steamer Eureka of the Pacific Coast
Steamship company's lines.
Santa Barbara's shipping interests are
petitioning for a bell or whistling buoy, to
be placed in tho entrance in the kelp line,
lust opposite the wharf. It is an Improve
ment much needed and will, no doubt, be
granted as soon as the request comes be
fore the proper authorities.
FILED A PROTEST
Stumbling Block for a Proposed Street
Railway Franchise
RIVERSIDE, March 15.—When the city
trustees met last week Frank A. Miller
asked for a franchise for a street railroad
over Victoria avenue, as well as other
prominent streets, and now comes the Riv
erside Trust company, which company
owns the lands bordering along Victoria
avenue, with a protest which was tiled at
the meeting of the trustees today, asking
that body not to grant the franchise asked
for and at the same time giving the board
notice that when the company in question
deeded the right of way for the avenue to
the city it retained certain rights to itself,
and among the lot was that the company
alone should have the sole right to run
street railroads over the avenue. This
protest is an unexpected stumbling block,
and it is a question how the claim of the
trust company is to be got around. The
claims which the company sets up ln its
protest are varied, among them being tha
right to lay gas mains, water pipes, street
car tracks, and, in fact, every one of the
privileges of a public nature in a city.
The members of the board evidently had no
conception of the rights thus claimed by
the company.

HARD TO FIND
Good Men to Hold Office in the City of
Riverside
RIVERSIDE, March 15.—Both the par
ties which have put tickets In the field for
the coming municipal campaign are linding
it hard to get men to accept the places on
the tickets for trustee. This office carries
with It no salary, and men who are good
business men do not want to spend valu
able time for nothing. The Republican
party Is short two nominees and the city
central committee of that party met last
evening for the purpose of filling the va
cancies on the ticket caused by the resig
nation of E. A. Chase and A. C. Chrlstern.
After some considerable discussion the
committee decided that It would be better
policy as well as politics to reconvene the
convention and let that body select a
couple of candidates, and it was so ordered.
The convention will meet on Friday after
noon at 2 oclock for the purpose.
The Non-Partisans, like the Republicans,
have a vacancy on their ticket caused by
the refusal of Alex Grant to accept the
nomination for trustee. In this case the
committee will name the new man.
No Sunset Franchise in Orange
ORANGE, March 15.—The trustees of
Orange met Monday evening. H. Keyser,
representing the Sunset Telephone com
pany, presented a communication in regard
to a twenty-three months' franchise. It
was rejected, but an amended one was
prepared) which give's the city the privilege
of designating what kind of poles shall be
used. The representative of the company
submitted the amendment to the manage'
of the company at Los Angeles by tele
phone, and It was rejected. The Sunset
Telephone company Is without a franchise
In Orange.
J. N. Lemon presented his resignation as
marshal and superintendent of streets. It
was accepted, and J. M. Cobb appointed In
his stead. An ordinance was passed call
ing for an election of city officers. Elec
tion to be held ln April.
Might Be Paralysis
SAN BERNARDINO, March 15.—The re
covery of John Taylor, county public ad
ministrator, from the stroke of partial
paralysis seems to be certain, as he ls
able to walk, with a slight assistance.
Mr. Taylor, who ts 78 years old, attended
a pioneer party Friday evening, returning
home very late, nnd Saturday afternoon
he went to sleep on a lounge In his office
under an open window and woke up just
at dusk. As he walked Into an adjoining
office tho occupant noticed that he got
around with difficulty, and, calling a car
riage, took him home. The physician ls
undecided as to whether It ls a case of
partial paralysis or a numbness caused
by sleeping so long at an open window,
that will wear off shortly.
An Unparalleled Crop
SANTA BARBARA, March 15.— The tour
ist season In this elty has been a surprise
to every one. The city Is tilled with east
ern visitors and the hotels and liverymen
report a business far ahead of that of last
year at this time. Not that the hotels are
crowded, but the city is just comfortably
full. In view of the mild winter In many
portions of the east, the unparalleled rush
to the coast can be explained only by the
Increasing popularity of the southwest as
a place for winter sojourn.

The generous rainfall at Anaheim,
amounting to almost one Inch, has set the
beet planters at work, and a little more
rain would realize the 7000 acres that were
to be planted to the profitable crop.
The Riverside trustees, at their meeting
yesterday found it necessary to postpone
the passage of a long ordinance regulating
the plumbing in the city for the reason that
there was no money available with which
to pay the bill for advertising the ordi
nance.
Many of the Anaheim farmers who sent
their horses out to pasture at $1.60 a month
are bringing them home again. The pros

flesh an unprofitable Item about the cor

work and abundance of feed.

IT HAS COME TO STAY
The Sunday Newspaper a Necessity of
Modern Civilization
That the Sunday newspaper Is a neces
sity of modern civilization, and has come
to stay, was the keynote of the sermon of
the Rev. A. W. Kokcndoffer, pastor of the
Forest Avenue Christian church, in his
discussion of "The Sunday Newspaper"
from his pulpit last night.
"The wide circulation of the dallies in
Kansas City," he said, "is a tribute to the
value which the public bestows upon the
press. As a minister, had I the time to
read and money to purchase, all these
would be welcomed as dally visitors at my
door. Hence no tirade against the Sun
day newspaper as such have I come to de
liver. Rather to rejoice that we live in such
an age—an age when, If the Emperor
Dlonysius could, Through his system of
brazen pipes, hear the gossip of the entire
palace, indeed now may every man, as has
been well said, 'sit at an electric focus and
listen to the story of events transpiring
at the uttermost parts of the earth.'
"In brief, few have attained to that de
gree of excellence that they might not be
better. So we look upon the Sunday news
paper. It has come to stay. Granted.
Possibly the number ls limited that would
not have it stay. Hence this discourse
clamors not for its suppression, but sup
ports the agitation of public sentiment
looking toward its reformation.
"The newspaper ls the p#ecursor of civ
ilization. So is Christianity. Granted that
civilization is best ?or man, then it follows
that religion and the press ought to be
nay, must be—allies, not foes. Thus it
would 111 become me to arraign the news
paper, and I do not.
"We admit that we welcome the Sunday
issue from the press, but it is a newspaper,
not a Police Gazette, nor a Fireside Com
panion, nor a Juvenile Magazine, but dis
tinctly a newspaper that we want. Let the
Sunday paper stay, because we do not want
stale news. The events of last Saturday
are out of date by Monday, but, mark you,
we want news. This ls the rightful de
mand for the Sunday issue, that cannot be
gainsaid, ln the age of the now."—Kansas

GREWSOME GOLDEN WEDDING
All the Hale Guests Were Public
Executioners
From tbe report of the celebration of the
golden wedding of William Reidl and his
wife of Magdeburg, Germany, and tbe sil
ver wedding of his son Frederick and his
wife, it is to be inferred that hangmen are
not held ln such disfavor by the women
of Germany as the fair sex of other coun
tries evince toward men of this profession.
At the celebration there were present 300
men whose occupations were the same—
the execution of criminals—the majority
of them being accompanied either by a
wife, sister or sweetheart. The elder Reldl
is the chief executioner of the domains of
Kaiser Wilhelm. while his son Frederick
is also a public executioner of long service.
The eldest son of the latter Is a soldier in
the German army, but his father declares
that as soon as he is discharged he will
secure him a place where his work will be
of exactly the. same nature as that of his
father. The old gentleman Is only 73 years
of age, but he boasts that he has only
eleven more people to string up on the
scaffold in order to have made the record
of sending 7000 persons into eternity by his
own hands. The son has a record of little
more than one-third of this number.
Although brought together for the pur
pose of doing honor to Germany's chief
execlutioner and his son, the assembly
ot executioners actually turned Itself Into
a convention of hangmen. The various
new methods of killing off murderers were
unanimously condemned and the old-fash
ioned hanging method was pronounced the
one most satisfactory from every stand
point. The nyjn came from every part of
Wilhelm's empire and Included all the ex
ecutioners of note. The wives and sweet
hearts Intend to organize a club for the
purpose of aiding the widows and orphans
of the men their husbands hang.
Origin of Last Fall's Yellow Fever
The committee of the Mississippi legis
lature appointed to Investigate the yellow
fever of last summer has recently made
Its report. It finds that the yellow fever
originated at Ocean Springs, Miss., but not
from the United States Marine hospital
quarantine station at Ship island, as was
supposed, and it declares that the quaran
tine station ls in no sense a menace to the
health of the gulf coast or the south. It
was generally believed that the yellow
fever was introduced by Cuban refugees,
who met at Ocean Springs ln June to ar
range for a filibustering expedition to
Cuba. This theory, however, is not accept
ed by the committee, which asserts that
the yellow fever got Into this country as
early as the latter part of April, and came
not from Cuba, but from Guatemala. The
existence of yellow fever was not recog
nized until September, although it had
actually been present, In the belief of the
committee, for live months. Although the
report exonorates the Ship island quaran
tine from all blame In'the Introduction of
the disease, it recommends its removal, as
being Injurious to property in the neigh
borhood.—Medical Record.
