The packing-houses have all been nut in readiness for the "INTERNATIONAL DAY" CEIE-" BBATED BY CLUB WOMEN. ter contingency there should be a hose cart, but there Is not; Instead there Is a pair of wheels surmounted by a box, and upon which is rigged a clumsy wooden cylinder to represent a reel, the whole being very crude. As far as possible with the means and money at hand for such purposes, Gov. LaGrange Is carrying on improvements in this direction, with an anxious desire to avert disaster; but until Congress and the authorities at Hartford appreciate tha need for more appliances, nothing further can be done. An alarm, with the call for the great dining-room, was sounded Just before noon today, and In less than a half minute the first stream was on the roof, followed by another within a minute.

The Governor, who was present expressed his appreciation of the promptness with which the call was responded to. SOLDIERS' HOME BREVITIES. Bids were opened on Friday for supplies for the quarter ending Marqh 31, 1900. Subsistence supplies show a marked rise in prices, all along the line. There is, however, ample appropriations to cover the difference In prices, so that the home table will not be affected by the high market prices.

George T. Martin, whose death Is noted below, was at the time of his death captain of home Co. and was highly esteemed by all who knew him. Martin has held a number of responsible public offices. Besides conducting a drug store in Santa Fe, N.

He was local agent for Wells, Farge Co at Tucson, and for some years before hls health failed, was secretary of the Mohawk Canal Company of Arizona. A complication of aliments finally compelled him to abandon all pursuits, and with falling resources he was finally-Induced to go to the Soldiers' Home. gThe funeral, which was held today, was attended by all his brother officers of the home, and by a large following of members and personal friends In addition to Uncle Sam Post, G.A.R., and the Union Veteran Legion; in both of which "he held offices. Some 'ambitious amateurs secured Memorial Hall Tuesday evening and beguiled a goodly 'attendance at 10 cents per head under the promise to exhibit some "wonderful moving pictures." Many who attended were heard to say: "Sold again," while many others their disapproval in language more profane than elegant.

A literary and musical entertainment of more than ordinary merit was given Pasadena would like to do Its share, and the officers have taken up the cause. Books or money may be left at The Times Branch Office, Pasadena, and will be accounted for to the president of the Pasadena Red Cross. It la needless to comment on the merits of this enterprise started for the good of the soldiers of the flag and all boys far, far from home. i PASADENA BREVITIES.

Brainerd in Los Angeles this evening. There Is Only One pile Cure That Mas Reached a National Form larlty end Reputation. There are many popular medicines that are known In every household In America, There are blood purifiers, nerve tonics, hed ache remedies, dyspepsia cares, and cough cures, which afe sold in every drug store la the nation and beyond, But all of these mast divide their popularity with many rivals, se one remedy haa the field to Itself, with the single exception of pile cures, for It Is a singular fact that there is but one pile curs that can be considered as having a national reputation, without a rival, and the referred to Is the Pyramid Pile Cure which for seven yeara has steadily worked Into the public favor by reason of its extraordinary merit, until It is known frpm Maine to California and from Manitoba to the gulf. It Is true there are many pile remedies having a small local reputation for a year or two, but the Pyramid Pile Cure has rapidly supplanted them all and really has the field to Itself when anything like national popularity la considered. The explanation is simple.

It Is because pile Is to no sense an Imaginary trouble that a bread pill ot a simple salve or ointment will care, but an obstinate, painful and often dangerous trouble, and a remedy to give satisfaction must 1 possess positive and very apparent merit. A person suffering from piles will not experiment for months with a remedy; It must give relief and a cure In short order or it Is condemned. Tbe worst cases ot piles are relieved on the first application of tbe Pyramid and a cure will result in a reasonable time from Its renular use. Medical men use it In preference operations because IE is safer, la perfectly painless aad thar cost to patient is a mere trifle as all druggists sell the Pyramid Pile 7ure at 50c, and, a it is used at night, it cures i thout interfering with regular occupation, If suffering from any form ft plies, bleeding, Itching or protruding, a trial ot the-Pyramid will cure you ana add another to its thousands of friends.

Grand Jury Recommends That ICo Further Proceedings Be Had Against Her New County Jail Needed. Further Damage Done by the Sea, Which Continues to Threaten. SANTA BARBABRA. Deo. 2.

Regular Correspondence. The grand Jury handed in Its report today and after an Investigation of the charge against Yda Addis Storke-Jackson for an alleged attempt to murder Attorney Grant Jackson, it recommended that no further proceedings be had against her on this charge. The report speaks well for the county officials and departments, which are found to have been conducted lit a businesslike way. Only one indictment was returned, that being against Oscar Reich, in Jail on a charge of forgery. The grand Jury recommended Bennle Grannas, a boy arrested on a forgery charge, be committed to the Whittier Reform School.

The fact that no Indictment was found against Yda Addis was a surprise even to her, and sha was overcome with Joy. The District Attorney may, lewder continue the action up.n fcts Information. The matter will come up on Monday at which time the defense will move for a dismissal of the case. NEW JAIL RECOMMENDED. The way In which the County Jail has been kept, and the Jail building itself, has been a matter of public interest hi re for several years.

The srand Jury found the Jail well kept, but the sanitary condition so bad that the erection of a modern jail was recommended, as soon as possible. The report states that the jail Is old, orumb-ling and unsafe as a place of restraint, and says that "escape by the 'digging out' process is easy." This matter will probably come up at the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors. DAMAGED BY THE SEA. Another bad washout occurred at the boulevard this morning.

SOLDIERS' HOME. FOR BETTER FIRE PROTECTION. SOLDIERS' HOME, Dec. Regu lar Correspondence. Gov.

LaGrange is devoting much time and attention to fire-brigade affairs and fire appliances, and it will not be his fault if provision is not made by the authorities in the near future for the carrying out of measures looking to the safety of the many veterans for whose well being the governor considers himself responsible. The proposition to organize a fire brigade originated with former Gov. Rowland, and through his efforts some small appropriations were granted. Col. Smith while governor saw and appreciated the need, took up the proposition and succeeded in adding something to the system, such as additonal hydrants in the immediate vicinity of buildings, and more hose; but the system is still far from perfect An excellent plan being carried out by Gov.

LaGrange, is having the hose, which is already attached to the hydrant, folded upon a low table and protected by a huge box, encasing the whole, which may be thrown off in an Instant, then, while one party grasps the hose another has simply to manipulate the hydrant, wrench which is always in place and the stream may be turned on within a minute (by actual test,) from the moment of alarm. This is well as far as it goes, but there is not enough hose with which to equip each hydrant; besides, the building in jeopardy may, in order to save it, require several streams.

How to select food that will make a sick body well, Is a problem. There are food experts that make that question the study of their lives; to know what the human body Is built of, and just where to. look for the nerve elements in the grains, fruits and other forms of food furnished by Mother Nature. The' food Grape-Nnts was originated for a reason, and with the above facts in view. It is perhaps the most popular food on the American table today, for while it has been in nte bat little over a year, many of the best people have discovered its unquestioned value.

It is pre-digested and ready for Immediate assimilation. It Is also thoroughly cooked at the factory, and therefore ready for instant service. Grape-Nnts can be digested by a child in arms and is appreciated by the athlete because of its flavor and strength.

"Billy" Ward, as he was familiarly known to the officers throughout the State, has been a help to almost every Sheriff along the Coast In apprehending criminals who were endeavoring to get across the line -into Mexico to evade the strong arm of the law.

He was ever willing to give any assistance within his power' and has frequently put himself Into dangerous situations for the benefit of some up-country officer. He was a man of limited financial means. Sheriff Lacy has not only contributed liberally to the fund himself, but is taking the matter up with the other officers of the State in the hope that' liberal contributions will ba received and that the bereaved widow and little ones will be made as com-' fortable in their sorrow as the kind offices of friends can make them. The are not yet complete, but in all probability Sheriffs Rouse of San Bernardino and Hammel of Los Angeles will be asked to act with Sheriff Laey as a committee to receive and properly account for all contributions forwarded to them for the benefit of Deputy Sheriff Ward's widow and children. i GOOD STREET LIGHTS.

unusual interest, as the opening of the skirmish firing for thb season, and especially because the company which bore the banner during the past two years (Co. of Riverside) was one of the participating companies.

P. Buck fares worst. All the costs of the latest phase' of the litigation, amounting $31.10, fall' on her. although she1 had nothing to do with the original suit. This snarl grew out of the action brought by J.

Haefner against J. P. Hoffman for wages, decided in favor of the laintiff, who was given Judgment for $f9 on the 29th of last During the endeavors to collect the judgment 'by attaching prunes partly owned by the defendant, several other suits were started. Mrs. Buck, Hoffman's mother-in-law, got drawn Into it, by serving a garnishment, on the prunes lo cover a claim of $299 which she alleged she had against her son-in-law.

'Through this process, she prevented Haefner's attorney from getting possession of the -prune money. She also sent word to tu C. Root, the prune buyer, that she would sue him unless he withdrew a check which he had given to Haefner's- attorney to satisfy the Judgment. In this way. she got Drettly deeDlr Into the muss, and she will have the' fun of paying $31.10 for sitting down to the game.

After Mrs. Buck's threat. Root, the buyer, threw the trouble out of his hands by bringing an action of interpleader against John Haefner, Mrs. P. Buck, D.

H. Ettien, 'J. P. Hoffman and wife, Hahn Hahn, and' all the parties Interested, asking Justice Merriam to decide how the money which he was ready to tor the prunes, should be apportioned. The prune crop In question wks owned by Hoffman and Ettien in part-.

nership. Hoffman's interest passed to Haefner, through the Judgment, for wages against the former. The proceeds of the crop, sold to were $73.21. justice Merriam decides that cf this amount $33.52 should go to Haefner, if the unsatisfied portion- of his judgment amounts to as much, and $37.71 should gd to Ettien. The costs are to be paid by Mrs.

Buck, as Bhe Is the defeated party in tha action. The amount of the original claim, from which this case started, was $49. The legal costs of the litigation grown out of it, aside from lawyers', fees, have now amounted to over $75. Thus the whole prune crop has been eaten up and more, too. RED CROSS APPEALS FOR BOOKS.
