PLYMOUTH CHURCH.
An Effort Being Made to Pay Its
Debt.


plymouth Congregational church is
drifting to financial disaster. It is
necessary that a desperate effort be
made to stop the drift. Ii $4,000 are
raised Plymouth church will be free
from debt, and with the cooperation of
every member can thus maintain its
work. 1t is proposed to make one su-
preme effort TO raise that amount and
save the church," Then follows SUBJ
scription pledge, which is on condition
that the $4,000 shall all be subscribed by
midnight, February 9Th.
Thus reads printed statement yes
terday circulated by the trustees of the
above mentioned church among it's
membership.
A committee is enlisted to raise this
money. President Baldwin Of Pomona
college and Rev. j. H. Phillips head the
committee, with headquarters at Hotel
Ammidon, 1861 South Grand avenue,
telephone 1854.
The pastor of Plymouth church is
Rev. A. J. Wells, who was from 1882 to
1887 pastor of the First Congregational
church of Los Angeles. "a,
1t is confidently hoped that the good
work being done by this church and its
pastor will not be permitted to come to
an end. But the debt must be paid, or

ALAS FOR THE RARITY
OF CHRISTIAN CHARITY UNDER
THE SUN.
The Old Story of Adversely and Coldness.
Out of Purse, Out of Mind of Those Who
Once Knew Him.

Yesterday, on one OF his. rounds.
HERALD representative met a man well
known in this city six or seven years
ago. At that time he was prominent in
business circles, and was considered
well-to-do, if not rich. His appearance
betokened such decided change in his
condition that the HERALD man was
led to inquire what had happened.
II left this city about six years ago."
was the reply. II had comfortable
fortune, but went into some disastrous
mining speculations, and have lost
everything. Worse than all, have lost
my health, and my wife's health is bad
also. By hard exertions | managed TO
scrape up enough to getto this city, but
Iwish l had not come. have had
sad exempliication of the lines which
Hood wrote:
"Alas! for the rarity
Of Christian charity
Under the sum-"
As you know when l was well off here
l never refused to contribute to any
thing tending to the city's welfare. !
subscribed hundreds of dollars to the
churches, belonged to two benevolent
societies, and tried in every way to help
the needy. Indirectly gave several
business men of wealth here now their
first start, and others who were wealthy
then I put in the way of making more
money. ! do not regret this, but At
pains me to see what selfish world this
Is. To be plain with you, am suffering
for the necessities of life, and many OF
these people ..whom l have aided in
time past know it. shall appeal to
them no more, and expect soon, to my
bitter grief, to become a charge upon
this county. Please do not make my
name public. My only object in talking
with you is to warn others to not place
too much confidence in the cold charity
of the world. was unable to keep up
my dues in two lodges l belonged to
here, and my money being gone it
seems their interest in me has ceased.
applied for aid. but l have received
none. But one of the saddest blows
have received was from church, which
is one of the oldest in the city and one
Of the most wealthy. Many of the
members knew that was sick and that
we did not have bread in the house but
not one of them came near us. Excuse
the feeling show, but a few years ago |
was dear brother in that church, and
my house was open to them on every
occasion. Neither pastor or people know
me now. We have been fortunate
enough to live near poor German
family who have done more for us than
all the other charitable people of this
city. From their scanty store they have
kept us from starvation, although being
large family they had nothing to
spare. Perhaps have done wrong in
making this statement to you, but my
experience has led me to fear that too
much is being spent in Los Angeles on
fine churches and display, while the
poor are neglected and left to suffer un-
cared for"

CHINO PLANS.
What Mr.. Richard Gird Will Do and
Not Do.

The Chino Champion says:
The comments Of the Los Angeles pa
pers about the ins and outs of the rail-
way movements of late at Pomona, On
tario and Chino and what is still to be
donein this connection, are as wide of
the facts as it is possible to imagine.
They throw doubts upon the railway
news in other localities given in those
papers from day to day. 1t is actually
surprising to contemplate the errors
which they seem to publish in good faith
as facts. They seem to know all about
why Mr.. Gird went to San Francisco
about two weeks ago, whereas not one of
them gave the remotest idea of the OBJ
ject of that hurried trip.
The facts are these: The Southern
Pacific is building from Ontario to
Chino. paralleling Mr.. Gird's narrow
gauge. The work will be completed in
few days. The line may be extended
sooner or later via Arlington and South
Riverside to Temescal cafion. The Po-
mona people are negotiating with the
Santa Fe to build from North Pomona
via Pomona to Chino. There Is good
deal of talk going on about building the
Giro narrow gauge road across the
Chino hills via Anaheim to the
coast at some point. This may
be done at no distant day.
The contract with the Oxnard sugar
makers calls for the planting Of $500
acres of beets this year, to be increased
to 1000 or more next year. The new
factory has capacity of $50 tons day.
Should the great enterprise prove TO be
as profitable as is hoped, it will be easy
to double this capacity. The climate Of
the semi-tropics makes it possible to
keep the plant in active operation nearly
all the year round. That would call for
the planting OF large area to beets.
But the enterprise is just in its incep-
ton; and Of course high pressure can
not be applied at once. It will take a
year or two to develop the full strength
OF the industry.

The iron sidewheel steamer III. B.
Plant, which was lowed here by the
Naugatuck from Fernandina, Fla, last
week, is an object of great interest as
she lies tied TO the Pussy d Jones wharf.
There is nothing left of her but her iron
hull and some Of her machinery. The
boat was built in 1887 by the Pussy &
Jones Company. Early in the morning
of April cath, at point 100 miles south
of Jacksonville, lamp exploded. The
oil spread over the deck and in 10 min
utes the vessel was ablaze from bow to
stern. Everything was burnt hut the
machinery and iron hull. The Plant Is
of 2S7 gross tonnage and did the coast
lug trade between Jacksonville and
Sanford. She will undergo complete
repairs here. The Pusey & Jones Com
pany will also repair the Naugatuck,
which was built by that company in
1887. The Plant is the property of the
Plant Steamship Line.
