BROKE THE RECORD.

The Heaviest Day in tho History of the
Library.
High water mark was reached in the
public library last Saturday, when over
1000 persons used the library during the
hours it was open. The above fact was
developed at the meeting of the direct
ors of the library held yesterday.
The librarian reported that the circu-
lation of books for the month OF Febru.
airy was 38,736 volumes. During the
month $50 new members we're added
making the active membership IA, 700 to
date. The home circulation of books
for the first quarter of the year was 76,-
794 volumes, gain OF IL, ,268 over the
same period of last year.
The directors reported that the new
fiction list would be ready ON Saturday
next and would be sold belowcost. The
new changing system will 20 intoeff ect
on Monday next. whereby there will be
two windows for receiving books, doing
away with the long line of waiting
people.
The board also passed rule that after
the new lists were on sale the practice
OF bringing new fiction to the counter for
inspection should be stopped, as this
system has worked to the serious in
convenience OF the public and has in
volved a great deal of expense of time
and labor with no compensating result.

Temple-Btreet Property Owners on the
Cut.
The mass meeting of property holders
on Temple street, held at the North
western Improvement association's hall,
was attended by an enthusiastic crowd
of people who had the improvement OF
Temple street at heart. Mr.. Waldron
was elected chairman and Mr.. Spears
secretary.
Mr.. Waldron stated the object OF the
meeting was the abandoning OF the pro-
ceeding in regard to regarding Temple

to what grade would be satisfactory to
all concerned.
Several prominent men spoke on the
question as above stated, and a motion
was carried unanimously that all pro-
cesdings in regard to tho legal grade be
abandoned and that traffic grade of 6.6
per cent be established.
Mr.. Dockweiler. the city engineer,
Mr.. Watson, the street superintendent,
and Councilman Innes were present
and expressed themselves in favor OF

Bishop VIM. F. Nichols OF the diocese

who arrived in this city Wednesday,
starts for the north today. During his

sented by Rev. DIR. True. Bishop Leon
ard of the jurisdiction of Nevada and

In connection with the general exodus
of Tammany hall braves from New York
City to the Pacific coast, and the fact
that Mayor Gilroy was elected by Tam
many and afterwards seeded from its
sheltering arms. his arrival here at this
time is naturally an object Of public in
tereet.
At San Bernardino q HERALD reporter
boarded the train and soon found HIM
self in the presence of Mr.. Gilroy.
The mayor is q very fine looking man
of probably 45 years, wearing slight
mustache and being attired in a gray
travelling suit and cap. He greeted the
reporter cordially and thanked him for
the welcome to California.
"Of your country" said he. ''I have
seen only a little. but the little have
seen ia lovely. For the last few days we
have been travelling over barren wastes
and sun-baked ground, but when we
emerged from the Caion pass the sud-
den transition from that landscape to
this region of fertility and flowers seems
almost a dream. Southern California is
the garden spot OF the earth"
AS the glimpses OF orange groves and
verdant fields flashed through the win
dow OF the swift rolling car, he ex-
claimed, what q change from the
East!"
The mayor then was asked concerning
the arrival of this coast OF go many
members OF Tammany, in connection
with other matters OF political ma
ture.
The word Tammany acted upon him
like a charm, but not exactly the charm
which suited the HERALD's representa-
tive. The lines in his face grew hard
and, initiating the proverbial oyster, he
withdrew into himself and said he had
nothing whatever to say.
He was asked, however, II he in
tended to meet Mr.. Richard Croker, the
Tammany boss, while ON the coast, and
his answer came clear and incisive, mo,
do not"
Then he was asked il he would like to
meet him, and again came the reply !:
mo, would not. do not propose to
meet him nor do desire such-a meet
ing" Continuing the mayor said |:
Now don't ask me anything more con-
cerning such matters, let US rather talk
OF this lovely country we are whirling
through. My family are at Coronado /;
/ am going to meet them. l am here for
pleasure, not for business, and l intend
enjoying myself heartily, leaving bus
mess cares until my return east"
1t was Mr.. Gilroy's original intention
to remain for a longer time in Los Ange-
lee, taking the A 80 train in the after
noon. In view of that fact the HER
AIDS representative asked If he would
not like the pleasure of meeting Mayor
Rowan. Mr.. Gilroy stated that he
would be only too glad to meet Mr..
Rowan, and intended to do so, but the
fact of his ability to secure the use of an
engine when he arrived and his haste to
meet the different members OF his fam
lily altered the plans, and consequently
ct IL 80 he was whirled off to San Diego
and the Hotel Coronado.
Mayor Gilroy intends making quite a
stay in Southern California, and will
visit all its varied objects of interest.

The usual monthly all-day gospel
meeting at Temperance Temple hall to-
day (services at 10 a. M, 2 p. m. and
$50 p. m.l promises to be OF a very IN
usual character. The needs of the 800
men, being modified and drilled at the
corner OF San Pedro and Second streets,
preparatory to leaving for Washington,
were presented at the Christian Alliance
meeting yesterday afternoon at Temper
ance Temple hall and it resulted in an
immediate supply of bread and butter
sandwiches for the mems supper and
breakfast.
A squad of workers held song and
prayer service in the mems hall and an
invitation was extended to the men to
attend today's services at Temperance
Temple hall, and it is. expected that
they will march thither in a body.
Meantime the further meals OF today
will be provided for the men. Any de.
string to assist with good, substantial
food may send it to the hall, at the cor
ner of San Pedro and Second streets,

He Says He Does Not Care to Meet

He Becomes Rstiosnt when Questioned
About TammaDy, and Changes the

Yesterday morning, shortly before
noon, when the Santa Fe overland train
rolled into the La Grande depot, 1t car
ried among its passengers one whose
arrival on the Pacific coast cannot be
looked upon otherwise than with in
terest.
Comfortably ensconced in the Pullman
sleeper Talpa was the Hon. Thomas f.
Gilroy. mayor OF New York City, accom-
panied by his son, q lad OF IL years.
His stay in our city was briel and occu-
pied exactly % minutes.
Almost 90 soon as the wheels OF the
train had ceased revolving he alighted
from his car and sought Superintendent
w. B. Beamer, whom he requested to
furnish an engine at once and run him
down to San Diego.
Through the courtesy OF the Santa Fe
officials engine No. $40 was at once atr
tached to his car and he WAS soon leav-
ing the City OF the Angels tar behind.
Mr.. Gilroy came directly from Chicago
and was en- route to San Diego, where he
intends to join his wife and family at
the Hotel Coronado, and was travelling
strictly incognito.

A BIG MOVE.

The Difficulties Met In Moving a Hello
Foundry.
The local telephone exchange just now
is in state of transition. 1t is being
moved by Glow degrees from the old
quarters on Main street to the new
structure of the Sunset Telephone com
pany ON Second street, aud the work of
moving is of such a complicated nature
that it will be fully three months before
the II rare and radiant hello maideDs
employed here will be installed in their
new quarters.
The immense difficulties attending
the removal of telephone exchange are
occasioned by the fact that uninter-
rupted communications must be main
tanned for the 1850 odd subscribers Of
the exchange in this city. In order to
do this it has been necessary to put a
large gang of men at work making con-
nections between the new underground
telephone cables and each telephone, at
the same time maintaining the connec-
tions with the old wires.
Superintendent Keyser OF the Sunset
company yesterday announced that as
soon as these connections had been
established every overhead telephone
wire in the city would be taken down.
The use OF the buried wires will give
better service, doing away with the
great amount of induction troubling the
overhead wires.

1T is such simple thing and SO COM
mon that very few people, unless it is a
case OF pneumonia, pay any attention to
cold. New York is one OF the healthi-
est places on the Atlantic coast and yet
there are great many cases of catarrh

in this neglect of the simplest precaution
OF everyday life. The most sensible ad

Mr.. Fisher in his fret petition denied
that the deceased left will. In his

the validity of the will offered for pro-
bate as not being legal. Yesterday his
attorneys filed a second amended petit
tion, alleging that the estate left by the
deceased was community property.
Mrs. Fishers sons say they will in

"My presence here now," said Bishop
Nichols, "is due to request for vieit-
alton to st. Paul's and Christ parishes,
at which it was deemed necessary TO
conduct special services. The regular
visitation in this part of the diocese is
during the months of November and
December. about the time OF the Ad-
vent season.
"The parishes in this city are making
satisfactory progress, the growth being
steady and healthy"
The services are attracting many OF
the people from the east as well as many
who have not been in the habit of at
tending church. In fact there is a
steady growth throughout all the par
ishee OF the diocese, the southern
advancing in equal proportion to those
OF the north.
The tendency of everything seems to
indicate that a separate diocese will be
formed of Southern California in the
near future-probsbly in 1896.
''At the recent conference the object
in appointing an assistant bishop was
not due to the amount OF work, but
whether it would not be for the good
OF the church to have an assistant
to reside permanently in Southern Cali
fornia. Had he been appointed. how
