MASONIC GRAND LODGE CONVENES IN ANAHEIM ON THE FOURTH. Grand Master Foshay to Lay the Corner Stone of the New High School—Other Features of the Day. Yesterday Jos. Helmsen received the following letter from Grand Master Foshay, convening the Masonic Grand Lodge at Anaheim, for the purpose of laying the corner-stone of the high-school building: GRAND LODGE F. & A. M. OF CAL., OFFICE OF THE GRAND MASTER, LOS ANGELES, June 25. JOS. HELMSEN, Anaheim, Cal.: Dear Sir and Bro.—I have issued an order convening the Grand Lodge on July 4, 1901, at 2 o'clock p.m., for the purpose of laying the corner-stone of the new high school building at Anaheim, in accordance with your request of the 24th inst. Yours fraternally, JAMES A. FOSHAY, G. M. Contractor McWilliams is having the corner stone cut and suitably inscribed by experienced mechanics. The committees in charge of the electrical illumination and street decoration for the coming Fourth have been at work stringing wires across the streets for the electric lights and suspending flags and bunting for the decorations. Two thousand electrical globes are being colored at the power-house, and during the coming week will be attached to the wires already suspended. A tall derrick, the invention of the committee on illumination, has been constructed for the purpose of affixing the globes to the wires. This derrick is wheeled about under the wires, and globes and flags are attached to the wires at intervals. The electrical work is in charge of Arthur Lewis, Joe Hatfield and Fred Lewis. Herman Stern is at the head of the decoration committee, and will early next week begin an elaborate decoration of the streets. James A. Foshay of Los Angeles, Grand Master of Masons in California, has accepted an invitation to lay the corner-stone of the new high school building. He will be accompanied by a number of grand officers and members from Los Angeles. The Fullerton and Anaheim Masonic lodges will attend the ceremonies, and delegations are expected from Santa Ana, Orange and Whittier.

JOE BACKS BEATS TWO FRISCO SPRINTERS Runs Away From the Speediest Runners of the Northern Vereins—Also Wins Broad Jump and Hop. Step and Jump. Joe Backs upheld the dignity of the Anaheim Turn Verein at the San Diego meet last week. Turners competed for prizes from San Francisco, which was represented by two vereins, Sacramento, Oakland, San Jose, Los Angeles this city, San Diego and other places. Anaheim had not the necessary eight members to constitute a competing team, there being only three men, viz., Joe Backs, Johnny Haberfellner and Frank Arnold, to represent. In team work, therefore, the local verein was not strong, but in the individual tests of skill the boys showed their superiority. In the open 100-yard race, only three entered, two being from San Francisco—one of them the Northern champion, Louis Scheppler. The Frisco boys appeared upon the track in sprinting costume. Backs walked down the line with his Turner clothing on. “We’ve got a cinch!” said the up-country boys. “We’ll win this race, sure.” They had a lot of money to bet on their favorite, a potful of it being quietly taken by the wine country boys. CONRAD'S LANDLORD RAISES THE RENT City Trustees Having Declared His Saloon Non-Movable. Up Goes the Charge for the Premises. At a meeting of the City Trustees on Tuesday evening Trustee Fay reported that Conrad had made complaint to him that, since the board, in transferring to him Lieb’s saloon license, he ordered that the saloon be maintained in its present quarters, and not moved to any other location, his landlord had raised the rent. This Conrad thought was an imposition upon him. He requested that the board’s order be modified, giving him permission to move his saloon if he should elect. Trustee Helmsen, who believes that Anaheim has saloons enough, said he had been a custom of the board for long time past to locate saloon license in certain quarters with the understanding that no moving would be permitted. The saloon under consideration had been opened by transferring its license from the hotel. Thereupon the board had resolved that henceforth no changes in the location of saloon would be permitted. Trustee Schneider was of opinion that the saloon should remain in its present quarters. The raise in the rent was a matter to be settled between Conrad and his landlord. If Conrad should be given the privilege of moving his saloon, he might set it up front of one’s residence. Trustee Weisel opposed the proposition. He thought the saloon should remain in its present location. Trustee Fay suggested that if Conrad desired to move his saloon, he should be required to specify the building in which he desired to move. No action was taken on the application. Trustee Schneider, reporting for the Public Improvements Committee, said she parts of the pipe-cutting machine for use at the power house had been ordered. The bridge over a private ditch in Sycamore street, corner Hermine, having broken down, leaving the ditch in bad condition, the sand had been ordered filled in. Three parties use it for irrigation, and they refuse to repair the bridge. Mr. Hildrandt, one of the users of the ditch will put in a pipe for his own use. Marshal Steadman was instructed to fill in the ditch. Trustee Fay of the Finance Committee reported approval of the annual report of City Clark Morrissett. Herman Stern is at the head of the decoration committee, and will early next week begin an elaborate decoration of the streets. James A. Foshay of Los Angeles, Grand Master of Masons in California, has accepted an invitation to lay the corner-stone of the new high school building. He will be accompanied by a number of grand officers and members from Los Angeles. The Fullerton and Anaheim Masonic lodges will attend the ceremonies, and delegations are expected from Santa Ana, Orange and Whittier. Bishop Montgomery, orator of the day, sends word that the $25 appropriated for his expenses and entertainment, will not be necessary. He adds that he appreciates the honor tendered in the invitation to deliver the oration, and desires no pay for his services. Neither is he in position to accept of the many offers of entertainment tendered him during his stay, as he has accepted an invitation to be the guest of Father Griffith. The school children of St. Catherine's academy, suitably attired, will occupy a float in the parade, and will sing patriotic songs during the exercises. Judge Shanley of the barbecue committee states that inquiries have been made whether Belgian hares would be acceptable for the feast. He authorizes the statement that several hundred will be gladly received and roasted. Those having a surplus of Belgian hares may consult the Judge and donate a number toward entertaining the city's guests. The Declaration of Independence will be read by Arthur Garfield Baker, the Magnolia boy who showed his good qualities in the recent high-school oratorical contest. The secret orders and many of the business houses of the city will have floats in the parade. There will also be many floats from outlying communities. The Olive mill will have a float in the parade. The parade will probably form at the Del Campo and East Broadway. It will move from Olive to Center street, to Palm, to Broadway, to Los Angeles, to Adele, to Lemon, to the Deutsch grove, where the exercises will be held. The parade will start promptly at 10:30, and continue an hour. Every one having a float should be promptly on the ground at 9 o'clock. The following is the list of prizes: - Best decorated tally-ho, $10. - Best decorated float, $15; second best $7.50. - Best buggy, single or double, $5; second best, $3. - Best decorated bicycle, $3; second best, $2. - Most artistically decorated and mounted saddle horse, $2.50. - Best pony cart, $2.50. - Best booby, $1. - Baseball, Oil wells and Tustin, $15. - 100-yard dash, professional, $6. - 100-yard dash, amateur, $5 sweater. - 250-yard dash, professional, prize $4. - 220-yard dash, amateur, prize $3 hat. - Hammer throw, 16 lbs., $2 pair of gloves. Shot put: 16 lbs., $2 box cigars. In the open 100-yard race, only three entered, two being from San Francisco—one of them the Northern champion, Louis Scheppler. The Frisco boys appeared upon the track in sprinting costume. Backs walked down the line with his Turner clothing on. "We've got a cinch!" said the up-country boys. "We'll win this race, sure." They had a lot of money to bet on their favorite, a potful of it being quietly taken by the wine country boys. At the starting point Backs threw off his Turner suit, and stood attired in sprinting pants of abbreviated pattern and a broad smile. He ran away from the Northerners, winning the race in 10:2-5 seconds, twenty feet ahead of Scheppler. None of the other vereins entered a runner against Backs, knowing they could not defeat him. San Francisco thought it could, but that was a long time ago. Backs won the running broad jump over fifty competitors, jumping 21 feet, 4 inches. He also won the hop, step and jump, having his clothing on, making 40 feet, 9 inches—three feet ahead of the Northern cracks. In the singing contest San Diego was awarded first prize. Anaheim second, the judges standing 2 for San Diego, 1 for Anaheim. However, it was the universal opinion among those present that the Anaheim singers were entitled to the prize. All the prizes for apparatus turning were captured by the Northern vereins. Los Angeles, it seems, was outclassed by the Northerners. Johnny Haberfellner showed his superiority over the other fencers, scoring points easily over Los Angeles and San Francisco experts. He also took a prize for all-round excellence in turning. Oscar Luedke Very Low. Adolph Luedeke departed for San Francisco on Tuesday, in response to a telegram bringing news of the critical illness of his brother Oscar, who for some time past has been very low with asthma. A later telegram reported the sufferer to have been unconscious nearly all of Monday. Small hope is entertained for his recovery. Miss Paula Wenzel, cousin of Oscar and Adolph Luedke, arrived from San Francisco on Tuesday morning with a power of attorney from the former. She went to the jewelry store and took possession of valuable papers, diamonds, jewelry and other goods belonging to him. She returned to San Francisco on the afternoon train. Death of Oscar Luedke. At 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon F.A. Backs received a telegram from Adolph Luedko, dated San Francisco, June 26th, 2:40 P.M., stating that Oscar was dead, and that he would leave on the Owl with the body for interment here. The body will arrive on this morning's train. The funeral will take place at 2 parts of the pipe-cutting machine for use at the power house had been ordered. The bridge over a private ditch in Sycamore street, corner Hermine, having broken down, leaving the ditch in bad condition, the sand had been ordered filled in. Three parties use it for irrigation, and they ruse to repair the bridge. Mr. Hilda Randt, one of the users of the ditch will put in a pipe for his own use. Marshal Steadman was instructed to fill in the ditch. Trustee Fay of the Finance Committee reported approval of the annual report of City Clerk Merritt. A communication was received from the Santa Ana Gas and Electric Company, asking permission to erect poles on Esplanade avenue and throng on Chartres street, for purposes of supplying power to the Fleischman co storage plant. It developed that Esplanade avenue was the name of the continuation Chartres street westward from Lemontown City Attorney Chynoweth suggests that before such permission be granted,the city see to it that its rights in future be not placed in jeopardy. The city may at some future time desire order out of the poles, and a define right given the company to place them now might be construed by it to be good for the period of fifty years,a life of its franchise. He suggested that matter lay over until next meeting give him an opportunity of investigating the matter. Trustee Schneider—The poles are already. Mr. Chynoweth—O well!the company has no right to put them there if the Trustees desire to order them out they may do so at any time. The matter accordingly went overthe next meeting. Marshal Steadman asked that board approve his selection of deputy Marshals to serve on the Fourth of July. Johnny Haberfellner,Billy Berdra Johnny Keubler,R.H.deakin,F.Martin and R.C.Mills were selected as such deputies.

Frank Pallas, whom we last heard from as a roundsman in Manila, has written a letter to Joseph Helmsen, telling him he has left the force and gone into the candy business, where he is rolling up a fortune. In the following letter, in which he tells of his experiences in procuring coal from a hombre who placed politeness ahead of business, the manyana characteristic of the Filipino is given a striking illustration: MANILA, P. I., May 15, 1901. I take pleasure in letting you know that the Metropolitan Police force of Manila has called a halt with me, my discharge reading that I was a No.1 policeman and was discharged at my own request. What do you think of the letter-head? What do you think of me as a candy-maker? Say, Joe, everybody compliments me on my ice-cream. They say it is the best in the Orient; and I can make candies that you would not give me credit for unless you saw me make them. But I get there just the same. I have learned something of the trials of a business man in Manila during the last few days. I will endeavor to give you one illustration, and it is one of many with which we have to contend. One morning I went to order some coal, so as to make a batch of taffy and one of peanut candy to send to a friend of mine in the town of Tarlac. Well, I opened the front door of Cheever, Palas & Co. at 8:30 a.m., and waited for my Filipino hombre to show up, so that I could leave the house and all for a few minutes. Well, he came at 9:35; and, after giving him a lecture on the Seventh Commandment, I mounted a street car drawn by two native ponies. Everything went well till we struck one of the many curves in the street, when one of the ponies came to a sud den stop. You should have seen the fun! One soldier took a hand in it, and put some sand in the pony's ears: another one blindfolded him, and so every one had a prescription; and all would have been well, but an old Filipno woman, who had doubtless learned the English language from some almanac, shouted: "Twist his tail!" The driver must have been an ex-insurgent, for he obeyed the order. The next thing in order was to get a wagon to take the driver to a hospital. But now and I have been under the care of two doctors and three nurses ever since. If an iceberg were to come floating into the Bay of Manila, I might get cooled off sufficiently to go to work again. But I must stop this folly and close this letter, not that I could not tell you some of the most ridiculous things which are constantly occurring here, but I haven't time just now. Good luck to you. As ever, your fraternal friend, FRANK W. PALLAS. DID PUPILS THRASH BIRD? An Interesting Question Now Agitating the Minds of West Anaheim School Patrons The question whether Prof. Bird principal of the West School, permitted himself to be thrashed by three big boys of his class, is still a topic of absorbing interest to school patrons of West Anaheim. It has not been charged against the boys that they accepted the invitation said to have been extended them by Bird, to thrash him, in return for his whipping them by mistake, but a Los Angeles paper which maintains a "resident correspondent" who does not reside here some days ago printed a story that such was the case: Some dissension has arisen in the West End school, as an outgrowth of the recent election for trustee. There were two candidates for the position—George W. Snyder and Thomas A. Darling—and the contest was so spiritd that it precipitated a personal controversy involving the principal, Prof. Bird. Trustee Darling, the successful candidate, has strong feelings against the professor, and says he will oppose his retention with all the force he can command. As the grounds of his opposition, he alleges that the principal, some time ago, thrashed three big boys of his class, and, in a fit of remorse, which came over him after sober reflection, invited the boys to retaliate by thrashing him, which they did. Mr. Darling characterizes this alleged act as an exhibition of weakness, which is prejudicial to discipline, and will urge his dismissal when the board meets early in July to engage the new corps of teachers. Trustee Darling's charges are denied by friends of the professor, who say they will stay with him to the end. When Trustee Darling was shown the item he said at the start he was sorry the papers had so much to say about the matter. As he read on and encountered the name "Thomas A. Darling," he said: "That does not refer to me, I take it because that is not my name." When he had finished reading the article he said: "It has never been charged that the boys whipped Bird. PERSONAL MENTION M. F. Reagan was a visitor in Los Alamitos on Sunday. Mr. Skidmore and daughter have turned to Downey to reside. Isaac Lyons and M. M. Morton in town from Los Angeles yesterday. Hugo Hinrichs of San Francisco spending a short vacation with Cha-Fleming at the Orangethope ranch.

Bauer was called onurday to San Bernardino, where grandfather is lying at the pointe death. William Hill is heading grain in La Habra Valley. He expects to be threshing operations immediately bythe Fourth. A. Ackerman, a San Francisco dealer, who owns several pieces property in Anaheim, was in their one day last week. Ike Williams was in from Park on Tuesday. He states that he will have a gorgeous float in the pool on The Fourth. Misses Jessie and Winifred Me went to Long Beach on Tuesday lecta cottage to be occupied by family during summer. Charles Bauer drove to Los Anno on Saturday evening, accompanied his mother and two sisters, to visit to Mrs. Falder. They return Sunday. Ad and Harry Dyer were visited Catalina some days ago, and on Su made a trip to the Landing. Ad l shortly for a visit to the Buffalo position. Judge Landell was in from Park on Tuesday last, renewing o quaintances. The Judge is lo younger and better than for any time past. Jack Hunter and Alex Henderson were over from Fullerton on Saturday afternoon. Henderson left on Monday for a month's visit to his old home Canada. Jacob Wintter drove his father law through Orange and Santa-Ana Friday last to show the old gentlemen some of the pretty sights of County. Napoleon Hart has a magnolia in full bloom in his front yard Claudina street, which contains eral beautiful white flowers. It is a very pretty sight. Cash Harvey of Santa Ana, w Everything went well till we struck one of the many curves in the street, when one of the ponies came to a sud den stop. You should have seen the fun! One soldier took a hand in it, and put some sand in the pony's cars: another one blindfolded him, and so every one had a prescription; and all would have been well, but an old Filipino woman, who had doubtless learned the English language from some almanac, shouted: "Twist his tail!" The driver must have been an ex-insurgent, for he obeyed the order. The next thing in order was to get a wagon to take the driver to a hospital. But now the next real thing in order was to procure another driver. The conductor went to a place to get the use of a telephone; but as there was an officer in the room, he was obliged to wait till he was through with the 'phone, before sending his message. There is only one car every hour or two; and as the time between cars had passed, another came up from the rear, the team of which was put to our car. But the passengers objected, because those who came on the other car wanted to change cars with us, and we unanimously protested; but there was a second lieutenant on the last car, and he overruled our exceptions; so we were obliged to disembark to give his Highness the right of way. Now they started off; but they had only gone a short distance when a mule train crossed the track, and they were obliged to stop; and then it was impossible to start them again. So I left them there, as I must get back—or, rather, I had to get to the office of Don de Optilicascus Peableticaous. Some of the name has got away. When I got there I found an empty chair and a desk. I stood on one foot and then on the other for one hour and a half; and when my patience was about exhausted, I began to question the neighbors as to the whereabouts of the coalman. He was finally found engaged in a game of monte; and as he was a heavy loser and had a prospect of getting a few dollars, he came at once in a great hurry. I paid $28 for one ton. He gave me a receipt for the money; but before he could let it go from the office it was necessary to put his stamp on it. He hunted all over the office for it, but no rubber stamp could be found. At last one of the native servants informed him that his wife had borrowed it to stamp a letter which she had written to Spain. The next thing in order was to send a hombre to the house. On the way back he spied a chicken fight in a Chinaman's back-yard, and so he bet the only coppers he had and won. The Chinaman would not pay the bet; so a fight between the hombre and Chinaman followed. A Metropolitan police man came in and tapped each of them on the head and said, "Morning, gents." We knew nothing of all this until the coalman was informed that if he wanted his servant he had better go and put up bail. It was some time after 3 p.m. before I got my receipt stamped. I took it and went to my place of business, sat down and waited for my coal. I waited all that night—all the next day. No coal. The day after that I went and asked what was the reason I dismissed when the board meets early in July to engage the new corps of teachers. Trustee Darling's charges are denied by friends of the professor, who say they will stay with him to the end. When Trustee Darling was shown the item he said at the start he was sorry the papers had so much to say about the matter. As he read on and encountered the name "Thomas A. Darling," he said: "That does not refer to me. I take it, because that is not my name." When he had finished reading the article he said: "It has never been charged that the boys whipped Bird. He thrashed them for some alleged shortcoming, and when he found he had whipped the wrong boys he wept, and later going into the hallway and removing his coat, called them out and said to them: "I have whipped you by mistake, now I want you to whip me in return." "The boys took this to be such a posterous proposition that they broke out in laughter. The way I learned of the affair was by overhearing the boys talking about it, and on questioning them, learned the whole story. "I went to see Bird and he admitted it to me, saying if he had to do it over again, he would do it again. "But I am sorry the newspapers have had so much to say concerning this affair. It does the school no good. "I have asked the two other trustees to go down to the West End and canvass among the people as to the feeling against Bird. Against him personally I have nothing, but I maintain his course in this case, and there are other things about him to criticize, unfits him for the place of principal of the school." It is only fair to Prof. Bird to say that he stoutly denies the whole story. He has filed an application for re-enagement as Principal, and promises at the right time to lay the whole matter before the public. Bird is circulating a petition among the patrons of his school asking the School Trustees to retain him. Tim's Rich Hair. "My hair is the richest in this house," said Tim Carroll in Prof. Husmann's barber shop on Sunday morning, as Henry Husmann was engaged in giving him a fashionable hairstcut. "How so?" asked Husmann. "Because it is silvery," said Tim, and all hands had a good laugh. "Will you have oil on your hair?" Husmann asked, after the cut, a little later on. "No, I am smooth enough without it," said Tim, and the crowd in the barber-shop laughed again. Wife Cuts His Hair. Gotlob Grueb of Los Angeles was in town one day last week. "I used to be in the newspaper business," he said, "but now I am with a brewery." "That is advancement," said the reporter. "I don't know; when I ran a paper I had free tickets to all the shows. Now, when I want to hear Walter Damrosch it costs $4." Dickel said before the board addied he wished an order were issued effect that no firecrackers be burring the parade, between the of 10:30 and 11:30. Tree Helmsen—Let the Marshal be the ordinance. Local Dots. O. Rimpau has a valuable cow at rice on Palm street which on Monday is delivered of twin helper calves.
