THE TELL-TALE FIGURES

Growth
New York, Chicago and Pew Others Exceed,
but indianapolis. st. Paul and Plenty
More Are Behind

That the city of Los Angeles Is enjoying
a healthy and uniform growth is undis-
puted. The Herald has had frequent oc-
casion in the past to treat upon this mat
ter, both in Its local and its editorial coz
umns. and once again does it touch upon
the subject. The figures and statements
found below are furnished py Charles L..
Strange. the city superintendent OF build
ings
Los Angeles ranked twelfth in the value
OF the building permits issued for the
month of May. 1895. The bare assertion is
surprising, perhaps, but nevertheless
true. 1t was exceeded only by New York
city, Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia,
Brooklyn. Baltimore st. Louis, Detroit,
Toledo, Cleveland and Buffalo According
to the census of 1890. Los Angeles ranked
fifty seventh in population. Since that
year its population has greatly increased,
but taking this fact into consideration,
the. assertion that only eleven other cities
in the United States showed greater
value in building permits Tor the month
OF May may well be considered remark
able showing.
The value Of this buildings for that
month in this city was 1858, 800, while
her population according to the last CEN
sus was 50, 1895. st. Paul comes next,
with building permits agegating for the
month of May 1857, 225, and population
as per the last census of 133, 1856 Indian

Y. W. G. A.

7. w. ~ a.
gospel meeting was held at the rooms
of the association yesterday afternoon. 1t
was addressed by Mrs. W. B. Herriott.
who made an informal talk to the young
ladies, that was very earnest and helpful.
Anywhere With Jesus was sung at the
opening. The song More About Jesus,
was followed by PRAYER offered by Mrs.
Herriott and Mrs. Mathuss.
Mrs. Heriott took for her topic God s
Goodness to Me. She said that in every
life there came a time when all things
tell away from us except the goodness of
God. This, she said. as hard for us to
understand, but in Gods woro was the
solution, Whom | love | reOuke. TO one
who has not experienced the Christening
hand of God these words came with little
depth of meaning until sorrow over
whelmed them. and then their brightness
shone out and the affection was proof
OF Gods love.
The speaker wished especially to i'm
press the young with this love of the Fa-
ther toward them. Especially to form the
habit of trying tO realize Gods goodness
and greatness. To the speaker the grand
est thing In the Bi BILE was Jobs apprecia-
tion of the Almighty as expressed in His
wonderful-works. the for ming of the uni
verse, hanging the sun and stars in their
places and guiding them in their courses
Some one has said that "if sunrise came
but once year we would be at great
pains to see it. and would then realize
what miracle of beauty it was" So
with Gods goodness. The very lavish
ness with which it surrounds us makes us
forget to be thankful for it. and it is
worth all the trial just to get one glimpse
of Gods love.
Mrs. Herriott read the 10th Psalm
and said that this Psalm seemed to cover
all human experience. In sorrow and yet
the goodness of God was the greatest
thought contained in It. The closing
thought was that God would put US where
we must find our heavenly Father.
Miss Morse made some remarks bidding
the workers good-bye, as she is to leave
for the east, visiting friends and attend
ing schools OF association methods. The
CHRISTIAN Endeavor benediction closed
the service.

Welsh Presbyterjan

Yesterday morning at the Welsh Pres
byterian church the services partook of
national character. and the pastor. Rev.
ID. Hu hes. preached sermon approPri-
ate toathe occasion from the text found
in Deut. a. 5.8. His subject was National
Greatness.
He briefly sketched the history OF the
United States from the landing of the
pilgrim fathers to the present time, sh W.
ing that the liberty Of America is rooted
in the religious principles of the pilgrim
fathers who fled to the new world.
where they hored to enjoy the religious
liberty and freedom of conscience which
they were denied In the old world. He
then went on to prove that near rela-
ion to. ana understanding of, the true
God constitutes national greatness and
that the United States owes her exalted
position among the nations of the world
today to her education in and adherence
to religious PRINCIPLES and to the intu-
ence OF Gods holy spirit and grace. At
the present time two influences are at
work undermining our national greatness,
viz: the liquor traffic and Sabbath desc
Grafton. One retards our continued
growth in greatness the other tends to
rob us OF the position to which we have
attained as nation. Our country has
been blessed by God with a long period of
pIoSIe y, put al tne present time pee
riod of national blindness and dark ness
seems to have fallen upon US. and our in-
stitutions are threatened with destruction
Two factions are striving for the mas
terry: Our great corporations and our mo-
nopolies. backed by capital on many
questions are arrayed against the labor
faction and the workingman. Public
officials seem to be blind to everything
except their own aggrandizement.
Crimes of all kinds are fearfully rampant.
1t needs no prophet to see and to foretell
that our country and our national great
ness are threatened with destruction. A
reign of terror similar to that which de-
vastated the fair land of France is not
among the impossi blities. Disaster and
ruin have overwhelmed other nations in
the past because they have forsaken the
true God. Let us beware their fate.
In conclusion he strongly urged upon
all, especially the rising generation. to
make onr greatness secure by exerting all
our influences to check the growth of the
liquor traffic and the rising tide of Sab
bath desecration. and by doing everything
in our power to keep the true God near
unto us.

Baker Dismissed.
Something Of a sensation was created
among the liquor dealers yesterday after
noon when Deputy Collector Of Internal
Revenue Mercer seized some thirty-seven
packages of WHISTLES and spirits at the
United States bonded warehouse. He
also, by order Of the department. it is
said, ''decapitated' Gauger Richard f.
Baker and appointed II. c. Harrison Of
Atlanta in his place.
The seizure was kept very quiet and
did not leak out until late in the after
noon.
From the best information obtainable, It
seems that Inspector Pitts of the Internal
revenue department came here during the
latter part of July. and while here made
a ZIP aHADAA6 AnC MAOAtSdAc HOubts Qtdl-

Yesterday morning Deputy Collector
Mercer came into the warehouse, and,
after going through certain packages,
seized twenty-five packages Of WHISTLES
and spirits belonging TO one firm and
about fifteen barrels of WHISTLES belong
ing to number Of others, the ownership
not being known. In the first lot there
was some 700 gallons, valued al probably
$3.50, while the other lot was slightly less
In value, $500 about covering the amount
seized.
Gauger Bakers official head was taken
off also, at the same time and Mr. Harri-
son of Atlanta put in his Office Mr.. Baker
was told, so it is reported, that he should
have watched the goods closer and thus
discovered the reported Irregularities. 1t
Is not known upon what grounds the selz-
ure was made. The goods are of a fine
grade, many being of 105. 1913 and 10 proof.
1t has been rumored that some of them
were marked under proof and hence the
seizure.
The owners protested against the seiz-
ure but the deputy showed them his or
ders from Washington and they had to
rest on that.
The goods will remain in the warehouse
here until an investigation is made, when
II the governments case is complete a fine
Will be inflicted or the goods seized and
sold. This is the first seizure here for some
time.
