An application for a townsite for San Juan Capistrano has been filed in the United States land office in Los Angeles. In about two weeks Mr. A. Hill will begin the erection of a fine two story building on the site now occupied by his blacksmith shop. The size of the building will be about 45x70, covered with rustic and finished off in a tasty manner. It is rumored in San Diego that the Southern Pacific Railway Company has offered Mr. Rose, for Roseville, near San Diego, $65,000. If this rumor is true, it would seem to indicate that the company expects to continue their road through to San Diego. On Wednesday afternoon the little son of Mr. Morton met with quite a serious accident. It seems that he, in company with a number of other boys, were amusing themselves by climbing up the studding on Mrs. Metz's new building and that young Morton lost his grip and fell a distance of eight or ten feet to the ground. He sustained a slight concussion of the brain, but no serious consequences are apprehended. R. W. Shaw, whose farm is about one mile south of the Sears' on Las Bolsas rancho, has been fortunate enough to get a splendid flowing well at a depth of 53 feet.

We understand that Mr. Schwarz has under consideration a proposition to bore for water on the Adams tract near the depot. The spelling match on Wednesday night was well attended and greatly enjoyed.

Neff, who has been visiting with relatives and friends here for some weeks past, returned a few days ago to her home in the north. Gus Strodthoff has become quite popular among the young ladies, showing them how people drive and turn corners in Arizona. Gus is having a way-up time during his vacation, and can drive faster and turn corners on less wheels than any man in Orange county—that is the way they do it in Arizona. He contemplates returning to Jerome on Sunday to resume his duties with the Clark Copper Mining Company. Oscar Renner is looking for a letter from his brother, Billy, who is on the island of Panay with the Eighteenth regiment. In his last letter, received some weeks ago, Billy spoke of an impending fight with the Filipinos, and recently the press dispatches from Manila contained the news that the Eighteenth regiment had been in a fight in which a lieutenant and a sergeant of Company I (Billy's company) had been killed. This is probably the fight to which he referred, and Oscar is anxious to know the full details of the encounter. A letter sunk by Henry Schwarz, and the pipe used only two and one-half inch.

Mrs. Lockhart of Orange was the successful competitor for the prize, which proves that Anaheim is either deficient in orthographical talent or is troubled with an excess of gallantry. The church fund is richer by about $80 as a result of the entertainment. We have been requested to state that the Rt. Rev. William I. Klip, bishop of California, will visit Anaheim on Monday, the twentieth instant. All persons desirous of seeing the bishop will find him at the residence of Rev. Dr. Kellogg between the hours of 11 and 1 o'clock on that day. Rev. J. B. Tombes, D.D., arrived on the first instant from the East with his family and proceeded at once to his ranch several miles north of town, where he will make his home. W. A. Waldron and Miss Belle Swift were married in the Congregational church in Los Angeles last evening. Miss Swift was a sister of Miss Jane Swift, who taught school in Anaheim in the early days. Both ladies resided in Anaheim in the early seventies. A county apportionment of 95 cents to each of 6936 children in the county is made to the school districts entitled to pro rata apportionment. This is the last apportionment for the island of Panay with the Eighteenth regiment. In his last letter, received some weeks ago, Billy spoke of an impending fight with the Filippos, and recently the press dispatches from Manila contained the news that the Eighteenth regiment had been in a fight in which a lieutenant and a sergeant of Company I (Billy's company) had been killed. This is probably the fight to which he referred, and Oscar is anxious to know the full details of the encounter. A letter is looked for on the next transport.

MEXICANS TO LIGHT AZTEC SACRED FIRE Ancient Ceremony at the Hill of the Star to Be Enacted this Month The sacred fires kindled by the ancient dwellers in Tenochtitlan, now Mexico City, will again burn during the celebration of the founding of Tenochtitlan. Mexicans, dressed in ancient costumes, will march to the foot of the hill where "high priests," selected from the purest Indian race, quolise, started rubbing the sticks to produce the flame. As the priests started to twist the sticks the crowds moaned in terror, as they believed unless the flame started the end of the world was at hand. When the priests finally produced the flame, which spread to large piles of resin woods on the altar, minor priests took lighted pieces of wood and immediately started full speed to the city and small towns, where fire was communicated to the temples. The priests were met by the villagers with songs and ringing of bells. When daylight appeared the fire was transferred to the great temple in the center of Tenochtitlan, then to the minor temples. The high priests remained the entire day of the new year at the Hill of the Star, to keep the fire burning. The city government, with the assistance of Manuel Camio, second secretary of education, in charge of anthropology, will revive the ceremony, using reproductions of the costumes worn by the Aztecs. Selections of minor priests and high priests will be made from representatives of the purest Indian races left in Mexico. As in Aztec time, women will take part in the ceremonies, which will be held the last week in April. PUBLIC SCHOOLS WEEK California's Sixth Annual Public Schools Week will be celebrated this year May 11 to May 15, the ceremonies of the week being open to the general public and being held for the most part in the auditoriums of the public schools. The San Francisco board of educa- ANCIENT CEREMONY AT THE HILL OF THE STAR TO BE ENACTED THIS MONTH The sacred fires kindled by the ancient dwellers in Tenochitilan, now Mexico City, will again burn during the celebration of the founding of Tenochitilan. Mexicans, dressed in ancient costumes, will march to the foot of the hill where "high priests," selected from the purest Indian race, will again light the sacred fire which then ancients believed gave prosperity and peace to the inhabitants of Mexico. From 1506 to the present time the hill near Mexico City has been undisturbed. Few, if any, tourists have seen the top of the hill where in pre-Aztec and Aztec ages this ceremony was held. The hill rises a few miles south of Mexico City, near the suburb of Ixtapalapa. It is a small hill standing out above the valley of Mexico and is known as the Hill of the Star. The Aztecs believed that at the end of each century life would disappear from the earth unless the sacred fires burned on top of the Hill of the Star. The ceremony of lighting the fire was attended by practically all inhabitants who could walk. The procession, headed by the high priests, moved from what is now Mexico City to the foot of the hill, where the crowds gathered in ranks. The high priests accompanied by minor priests climbed the hill, where wooden sticks prepared for the ceremony were placed. At midnight, when the stars were brightly shining, the priests, placing on their faces masks of turpentine, proceeded to the auditorium of the public schools. The San Francisco board of education today granted the use of the auditoriums of four of the largest public schools in the different districts of the city for the week's meetings. During the week a feature will be made of the pageant play, "The Critical Hour," written by Doris McEntyre and E. W. Jacobsen of the Oakland school department, the pageant being put on by the children of the different schools. Public Schools Week was instituted by the Masonic Grand Lodge. In addition to the tableau the week's sessions will be devoted to discussions by leading educators and laymen of standing of various criticisms that have been directed against the curriculum in the schools, the cost of education and methods of instruction. The statewide committee in charge of the week's activities is composed of Charles Albert Adams, chairman; Vaughan MacCaughey, secretary; Arthur Chamberlain, H. G. Burrowes and Ellias Ellison, San Francisco; Robert A. Odell, Vierling Kersey; Harry S. Lasker, Lee T. Mullen, A. Gaylord Boaman, Los Angeles; Fred M. Hunter, Oakland, and Roy Cloud, Redwood City.
