South Main street, nearly opposite the
Cathedral, after several years experience
in the Australian colonies, San Francis

months in this city, has decided to per-

formed so many wonderful cures without
the aid Of medicine. His rooms are
crowded daily with patients anxious to

Mathew simpson.

DIR. II. Sinsabaugh, of this city. a
nephew Of Bishop Simpson, received
dispatch from NJ. 8. Mccullough, of
Philadelphia, yesterday. stating that
"the Bishop passed gracefully away al
nine o'clock in the morning."
Mathew Simpson was no ordinary
man. His mother, devout Irish lady,
was a neighbor of the family of Mrs. Z.
F. Spence. Of this city. The Simpson
family removed from Ireland to Ohio.
where Mathew Simpson was born in
1910. He went to school in the pleas
ant town of Meadville, Pennsylvania,
where he graduated with high honors in
1882. In 1888 he received the degree of
NJ. D., but left the medical profession
for the ministry in the NJ. 4. Church.
In 1887 he was called to the chair Of
natural science in Allegheny College,
from which he was called in 1899 10 the
presidency Of the Indiana Asbury Uni
versity, ut Greencastle, Indiana, where
he at once took high rank as an educa-
tOr, u many VI hto Rupto III A<cn <hukS
les can testify. In 1913 he added to his
duties the editorship of the Western
Christian Adrocate. Of Cincinnati. His
powerful leading articles attracted great
attention, by their high and generous
tone, aud secured him the election as
Bishop in 1852, a position which he has
held ever since. For thirty-two years
he may be said to have been the
leader Of the Methodist Church in the
United States. In 1875 he visited the
home Of his ancestors in Ireland, aud
travelled all over northern Europe,
where he was received with that atten.
tion that his eloquence, scholarship and
high character commanded. In 1881 he
paid visit to Los Angeles, and was
received with most .affectionate regard
by his former pupils aud his old friends.
His visit was made an ovation and the
church Ia which he spoke could not con.
tain half the people who thronged to
hear the noble and talented speaker.
Few men were better known, none
better loved thln the lofty minded
Bishop who yesterday laid down his ar
NOR in the City Of Brotherly Love vt
the ripe age Of seventy-four years.

Chairman White to Mr.. Chandler.

EDITOR HERALD: My attention has
Just been called to an article published
in your paper over the name of B.
Chandler, late an unsuccessful candidate
for the position of delegate to the Demo-
cratic State Convention. Mr.. Chandler
alludes to me as "cinch chairman"
and appears to rest his charge upon the
proposition that did not as chairman
of the late convention appoint MIR.
Shorb to a place upon either the "Com-
mittee on Resolutions" or the "Com-
mittee on Permanent Organization and
Order of Business"
In both cases the motion to appoint
was made by Mr.. Sidney Lacey, who
was not appointed chairman of either
committee, but was allotted member
ship in one instance. To this Mr.. Lacey
did not object, recognizing the fact that
the chairman probably had some reason
for adopting this course. Mr.. Shorb
did make a motion, looking to the ap-
pointment of Committee on Credenti-
ais. This is not usually considered
very important committee. except where
there are contests, which was not the
case in the present instance. And pre-
sumo for this reason l overlooked the
fact that Mr. Shorb had made the
motion and did not appoint him. The
same circumstance doubtless caused
another officer of the convention and
particular friend of Mr.. Shorb to concur
Z. aalantsn,,o r,,ado hu
As to the Committee on Resolutions or
Permanent Organization, certainly
would not select gentleman whose
views were in direct antagonism to my
own and to those as believed of nine-
tenths of the convention. That these
views were honestly entertained and
fearlessly advocated was immaterisl
My duty was to act in accordance with
the wishes of the convention as under
stood them, and this did, and with the
exception OF the error inadvertently
made as above stated, did nothing but
what / would do again. To show that
Mr.. Chandler's ill.timed and exceedingly
malicious remarks are uncalled for, l
will refer the gentleman to Mr.. w d.
Stephenson, the presen. efficient CITY
Attorney of Los Angeles, who will no
doubt say that | placed him in the posi-
tion of Chairman of the Committee on
Resolutions, that he might be able to
procure the adoption Of such platform
as would enable MIR. Shorb to accept the
position of delegate.
1t is sufficient answer to Chandler's
sneering remarks regarding Col Godfrey,
to mention that If the statement made
by him to Godfrey is to be believed,
Col. Godfrey received the vote of
Chandler for the very position which it
is now contcnded. Godfrey was not
qualified to fill.

Larger Sewers Required.

The little eightinch sewer on First
street, between Main street and Covar-
rubias' stable, has become filed up com.
pletely, so that the water that is dis.
charged into the sewer Is forced back
into the cellar Of the stable, which has
been ncarly one half filed with filthy
water from that building and Others sd-
joining. Excavations have been made
on the line Of the sewer, and it has been
found filled with straw, sand, manure
and other impurities, and may have to
be taken up throughout its length. One
thing is certain. The sewer must be en-
iarged, or such stuff as now ILLS II must
be kept out Of it. 1t is proposed to
make new one, large enough to tioat q
bale Of hay or hoop skirt. to avoid the
danger of another cboke-up. Two
pumps are kept going all the time TO free
the cellar. and the air is odorous with
unpopular smells.

A meeting of the directors of the DUN.
my railroad to Pasadena was held yester-
day afternoon at the office of A. Ill. judi
son, Esq. There were present Messrs.
Judson, Green, Hamilton, Ball and
Thompson. A general discu ,sion ensued
and it appeared to be the sense of the
members present that they would recon-
mend only a narrow gauge, built in the
most economical manner and calculated
for passengers principally.
A committee, consisting of Messrs.
Green, Cougar. Eaton, Lukens and Ball,
was chosen to solicit subscriptions to the
capital stock of the company.
There was a notable absence of some
of the original advocates of the dummy
line, aud 1t was later learned that they
had pulled out" 1t was also recon-
mended that the line should be extended
only to the Pasadena postotiice, with no
desire or wish to go further. Such a
plan would be fatal. If the company
mean business, they will 60 further and
take in the freights and fares of Santa
Anita, Duarte, Azusa, San Dimas and
Mud Springs. Persons living in Azusa
or Duarte would be much more likely to
patronize the railroad than others living
within an hours drive of the city. This
feature of the scheme seems fatal to its
success. But worse feature is the line
OF the road where it enters Pasadena.
Instead of passing along from Oak Grove
on a gradual ascent, the proposed line
ascends where the old trail used to 60 up
from the Manuel Gartias adobe to the
upper mesa. This is grievous engi-
neering error that should be avoided.
Such lines are dangerous and unprotita.
Bile.
A consideration Of the situation, that
embraces all the features of the lines by
the two companies, seems to indicate
that the two companies should unite
their capital and energy, and make a
road worthy the time and place and the
progressive requirements of the age.
The survey Of the first company has
vastly the advantage in the matter of
grade, which is eiost excellent, the
steepest being only about ll6 feet to
the mile, while the other cannot be less
than $50 feet where it surmounts the
schoolhouse hill. Besides it would cost
but little more to run an engine from
San Dumas than from Pasadena, while
the profits OF the train would be
doubled.
The fruit belt to be opened by the
first company, in the San Gabriel valley
alone is twenty-five miles long; by the
second line it would be two miles. Com
ment is unnecessary. The people want
the best they eau get in the matter of
transportation. When a railroad is
built they want good one, and as ex.
tensive as the needs of the country.
The brush'and along the Sierra Madre
is great producer Of freights and will
have railroad, and one that will pay.
Why cannot both these companies come
together and make good road that will
fill all the requirements? There is no
use for two roads. There is use for
one road, aud both companies could
unite and build road that would be an
honor to the country. There is no
sense or profit in Kilkenny cat fight
in this matter. Business before pleas
ure. gentlemen. But go ahead and
build the road.
