Meeting of the Y. w. c. A.

Nearly two years ago Rev. j. Q. A.
Henry came from San Francisco to Los
Angeles for the purpose of lending the as
sistance that lay in his power to the work
OF inaugurating the Young Woman S
Christian Association in Los Angeles. The
men who then listened as he pleaded the
cause Of young womanhood remember
now effective was his plea fotr practical
aid. Mr.. Henry visited Los Angeles en-
route from the Pacific Coast to a new field
OF work in Chicago and was met by his
friends at a mass meeting yesterday aft
ernoon at the First Congregational
Church. Mr.. Henry said that the Y. W.
G. a. represents the best work that is now
being done for dependent young woman
hood. 1t has been said that man was the
problem of the eighteenth century,
women that of the nineteenth century.
Our cities have become storm centers, as
it were, wherein abounded pitfalls UNI
numbered for young women. The moral
status OF our cities is low, and it is the
duty OF Christian people to reach out a
helping hand to the girls that are forced
to seek their own livelih BOD. Not always
do they need aims, but they always need
friends and mental and moral stimulus.
1t is the privilege of the Y. W. G. A. to
protect from loneliness and temptation
and cause to stand steadfast the young
women that comes under its influence
and to develop their character to the
highest point. The speaker ur cd the
people OF Los Angeles to rise to the priv
ilege that they have among the cities OF
the Pacific Coast and give to this model
organization the support it needs.

THE PRESS ON FIESTA

Careful inquiry among the various mer-
chants of Los Angeles assures us of the fact
that the coming Fiesta in April next will
be even more of a success than it was last
year. Last years Fiesta was merely an
experiment and as such many did not
enter into the spirit of the occasion; but
the great success of the previous year in
sures the public tuat by hearty co opera
ton the affair can be made much more
successful this year. Viewing the matter in
this light, the merchants at large are
going to decorate more lavishly than
here tofore, and this will help very mater
tally.
Them too. the mistakes of last year can
be avoided and many great improvements
can be added as well.
Undoubtedly the Fiesta will become a
permanent feature of the season in Los
Angeles from this time forward. San
Pedro Times.
One of the most charming fancies OF the
gorgeous carnival of Southern California,
La Fiesta de Los Angeles, which takes
place at Los Angeles, Cal, from April
18th to Goth, is that of placing its brilliant
festivities under the rule of the Queen OF
the Angels. AS in the past public Curl
osity is aroused to a high pitch, to dis
cover the identity OF Her Majesty. but it
vealed during the grand carnival masque
bal. which occurs during the latter part
of the week, but the time when the mortal
personality of Her Majesty will be made
known is this season yelled in uncer-
tainty, as well as the personnel of her
court Ventura Ojai
San Pedro will have three beautiful
floats in La Fiesta PROFESSIONS. One will
represent the harbor as it will be, the sec
ond characteristic scene of a seaport
town, possibly full-rigged bark; the
third will be something on the humor-
esque order From the present outlook
Long Beach floats will be out of sight
completely, as little interest seems to
agitate the question of being represented
in La Fiesta. Beach Eye.

CONSTRUCTION pURING YEAR.

According to tho Railway Age, rail-
way building in the United States
reached this year a lower point than In
any OF the last twenty years. and In
only two years since 1865 has so small
mileage been recorded. The records
show 17Sa miles OF track laid. This
year the total built was only about 100
miles more than In the year 1S55-
forty years ago. The greatest amount
of track laid was In Texas. where 22i
miles were put down. In fifteen states
no Increase whatever was made. The
railways OF the United States on De-
cember 81 will aggregate little over
$1,000 miles,

AN ELECTRIC LINE

Plans.
Have About Been
Completed Tor Placing the
Roads Securities Abroad

For many years the question OF rapid
transit through the medium of an cleo
trio railway between Fort Worth and
Dallas has been discussed, and several
times It has appeared that the scheme
was on the eve Of being consummated.
But at the most promising period
there came the season OF financial de-
preston and gloom that has hung
upon tho sky 80 long and perslstently.
The promoters OF the enterprise have
never wavered In their determination
TO accomplish their purpose, and while
forced to temporarily suspend opera
lions. tho matter has been carefully
nursed, until 1t Is now believed that a
rift has appear a in the lowering
Clouds and thei Is fine prospect OF
getting the scheme through.
A tip was given the Gazette yester-
day that something was in the wind.
and an effort was made to deNkIp
what there was In the situation. The
gentlemen who are promoting the en-
terprlse were Induced to talk only
with much persuasion, and then quite
guardedly. 1t was admitted that eff
forts are being made to place the se-
curltles In England, and until the pres
ent complications between that coun-
try and the United states arose, the
matter had about reached a successful
elimination These International COM
plications. 1t Is believed. will only have
the effect OF retarding progress tenn
porarily, however.
A profile OF the proposed route, to-
gether with printed prospectus. mort

and the latest information is to the
effect that the necessary British money
to put the scheme through will soon

that representative of the scheme
has been working the matter up In
Dallas. and the report comes from
that city that arrangements have been
about cunsummated to place $500, 100000
of the roads securities in London.
II Is believed that the proposed line
will be of much advantage to both
cities. as well On develop the country
between very materially. The plan
Is to have service consisting of u
