A MUSICIANS SUDDEN DEATH
Fred Van Lew Stricken With Heart
Disease at Masonic Temple

Fred Van Lew, an organist 6S years OF
age, died in the receiving hospital at the
police station last night of heart disease
In the early part of the evening Van Lew
'attended a meeting of the South Gate
order of the Masonic lodge at the Ma
sonic temple where he played the ode
for the initiatory service. A short time
afterward he was taken suddenly Ill
and started to go home, accompanied by-
two friends. He was unable to walk,
however and had to be taken back to
the temple. DR.. J. N. Mathis was sum-
moned and pronounced a case of heart
failure. He worked over the stricken
man for two hours, and then he was re-
moved to the receiving hospital, where
he died a few minutes afterwards at
1915 p. m.
Van Lew was a Mason and his re-
mains were taken in charge by members
of that order. The body was removed
to Howry's undertaking parlors. The
deceased lived by himself in little cabin
at the corner of Sixth and San Pedro
streets. He has no relatives here, so far
as is known.

MORE THAN DOUBLED
Large Increase of Building Shown by
Building Permits

Although the month Of September is
only ten days old, if the building opera
tions in the city continue at the rate at
which they have started, the month will
be a record breaker in the matter of
the number and cost of new buildings
contracted for. During the first ten days
of the month of August the value Of the
improvements for which building per-
mts were issued was s34 ,53S. During the
first ten days of the present month per-
mits have been issued for the erection
of $3.50 When it is remembered thai t
there have been two legal holidays in
this month it will be seen that in eight
days of this month nearly three times
as much work has been contracted for
as during ten days of last month. In
each of these months there have been
but one permit which greatly exceeded
the average in the cost of the proposed
buildings. Most of the permits have been
for houses costing less than $2500.

YELLOW FEVER
Causes a Panic That Threatens to In.
jure Business

NEW ORLEANS, La, Sept. 10.-The
announcement of twelve suspicious
cases on one square in the city, and that
three cases had developed since the
death of the young lady who had come
from Ocean Springs. created large
measure Of alarm in the public minG,
early in the day, but this was allaye0
when the facts became known.
1t developed that one man haG, died as
the result of excessive dissipation in
stead of yellow fever, as reported in the
very square in which the suspicious
cases had been found. At nightfall all
reports received by DR.. Oliphant were so
favorable that renewed confidence was
infused in the officials of the board.
This morning a party of doctors and
officials left here over the Illinois Cen
trial for Memphis, and will return via
the Mississippi valley. They will stop
at all intervening places to make known
the exact status of affairs, seeking to
allay the fears of the people in order
that a panic in the country may be pre-
vented and the imposing of unreason-
able quarantine restrictions prevented.
1t is hoped that this visit of officials will
have the effect of checking undue re-
straint of trade.

ACTIVE CONSTRUCTION WITHIN THE NEXT
THREE MONTHS
Practically Disposed ofwok
Settlement of the Governments Claim Upon
PaciAc-Eements Prosperity

as the railroad builders are ready bids
will be advertised for and the work Of
active construction will at once COM
mence. There are certain contingent
cies which may delay active construc-
tion for a short time, but it Is not
thought probable that there will be any
serious delays.
1t is a we'll known fact that the Wander
bilts own the Union Pacific railroad,
subject to the claim Of the United States;
that a foreclosure suit is now in the
courts to secure the payment Of that
claim and that the court has ordered a
sale of the property to take place in Oc-
tober, Vanderbilt having agreed to make
bid for the property that would guar
antee the governments receiving $45,.
100000 for it's claim; that there is a
movement on foot to secure a postpone
ment of that sale until after congress
meets in December.
1t is believed that active work will be-
gin soon after the settlement Of the gov
ernment claim against the Union Pacific,
which Is only matter Of little time,
as If there is no postponement of the
sale the claim will be settled next month.
The building of this third transconti-
mental road into Southern. California
will have the same effect as the build
ing Of the second had. 1t does not re-
quire very long memory to call to
mind the effects of that work AS re-
suit Of the building of the Santa Fe tfis
section experienced a speculative boom
unparalleled in the history of the coun-
try.
Everything points to another period OF
great speculative activity. This activity
will be stimulated by the following prop
ositions:
First-The building Of the Vanderbilt
railroad system into Southern Califor-
mia.
Second-The spending of millions by
the government in the building of a
harbor Of refuge and commerce at San
Pedro.
Third-The return of general prosper
ity to the business world at large.
Fourth-A 1 cent tariff on citrus
fruits which will protect our leading in
dustry from the ruinous competition
from cheap foreign labor.
Fifth-A mining development in
Southern California which is destined
to turn millions of the precious metals
into the mints of the country.
Sixth-And lastly, the same old South
ern California climate, which is consid-
cred Of more value than legal tenders
by millions Of people who are able to
enjoy it as soon as the business condi-
tions Of the country will permit them to
| reach 1t without making too great sac
rifice.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Informal Musicale-Talk by Nine.
Cappiani

A large number Of the Friday Morning
club members and their friends assem-
bled yesterday morning Informally IN
the club rooms on Broadway to meet
Nine. Louisa Cappiani of New York, the
eminent teacher Of vocal music, who is
here the guest of Mrs. Charles Parsons.
Mrs. o. s. Salisbury presided in the

Miss Beresford Joy.
Nine Cappiani was then introduced,
and, after gracefully expressing her ap-
probation for the courtesy extended her
by the club, she gave a very informal
chatty little talk about her profession.
contrasting her methods of teaching
singing with that of others, in which
stern fact and humorous fancy were
most enjoyably blended.
Among other things Nine. Cappiani
said that the placing of the voice was
most important, and the economical USE

singing; of opening the mouth naturally
by relaxing the lower jaw at its hinges;
Of the sounding board made by the bony
part of the face; of her system of bring
ing the breath up from the lungs by the
guidance of the abdomen and through
the throat, which is simply chimney
creating vibrations in the vocal chords
which made sound; the difference in the
vibrations determining the shading of
the tones; and finally the voice, which
was made up of tone, color and breath.
The speaker impressed her points WV

smooth notes in her tone illustration.

CHARLES Ix.'S MISSAL
May Now Be Read Without Danger
to Health

NEW YORK, Sept. 10.-The Journal
and Advertiser prints the following:
Charles ks missal, the vellum
leaves of which had been dipped in a
poison as terrible as the one which the
Borgias kept, was sold by bookseller
of New York few days ago to a book
lover, who is also an expert in poisons
He has analyzed the vellum pages one
by one, and says there is no poison in
the leaves Of the missal.
1t must have evaporated in the CEN
turies. for Charles JX. was King of
France from 1860 to 1874, and received,
according to the chroniclers, a missal,
which was poisoned, short time after
he had given the signal for the massacre
of the Huguenots, and it was in this mis-
sal he had been reading a mass in the
chapel of the Louvre the day before his
death. He died of remorse, the histori-
ans say, but remorse was often a
euphemism for poison in those days.
The herald., 1897-09-11

On the 25th day Of April last The
Herald first made public the informa-
ton that the Vanderbilt system Of rail-
roads had secured an understanding
with the Los Angeles Terminal railway
and that in the very near future the
system would be extended across the
desert from Salt Lake City to Los Ange-
les thus completing the first transcon-
tinental railroad from New York city
westward under one management.
That statement was founded on reli-
able information and created sensa-
ton throughout Southern California.
The information. was received from 1:
resident of Los Angeles city who keeps
in close touch with the railroad officials
having this work in charge. From the
same source Of information The Herald
is able to give another chapter IN the
progress Of the work. The route Of this
rev railroad line has now been definite
ly located and map Of the road has
been seen in this city by very few.
The road is to be extended in south
westerly direction from Milford in Utah
through the southern portion of the state
Of Nevada, passing through Las Vegas
valley, then across the Mojave desert,
crossing the Atlantic and Pacific rail-
road few miles from Ludlow station,
thence is to run in direct line to the
Morongo pass through which the en-
gineers have found line that does not
exceed a 2 per cent grade at any point.
Thence 1t heads for the San Gorgonio
pass, running north Of the town of Ban
ming but passing through the
town of Beaumont. Thence it runs
through the Yacaipa valley to Redlands;
thence to Riverside. crossing the San
Timoteo canyon and the Southern Pa
ci1c railroad on high trestle: thence
directly west to Chino; thence through
the Puente hills north to Anaheim maxi
ing a connection with the Los Angeles
Terminal near the county farm, from
which point the Terminal road will be
used to reach Los Angeles city in one
direction or San Pedro bay and harbor
in the other.
Bonds for the building of this road
have been practically sold, and before
the close Of 1897 active construction will
have commenced. The public can esti-
mate about how long it will require to
complete the line in these days of mod
ern railroad building, when the enter
prise is backed by unlimited money and
energy.
Those who are in position to know are
thoroughly convinced that the work on
the San Pedro breakwater has been de-
layed in the interest Of this new trans
continental line, and that just as soon

TAILoRS MEET
May Go on the Warpath After Cheap
Workmen

A meeting Of the Merchant Talors'
exchange was held last night in the
parlors of the Nadeau for the purpose of
electing officers for the, ensuing year
Before the meeting was over the ques-
ton of cheap tailors, who are putting
out line of inferior goods, and how to
deal with them, was brought up. Many
of those present were in favor of taking
some action to force these cheap mer-
chant tailors out of business, as it Is
claimed that they are demoralizing the
trade of the first class houses. The mat
ter was discussed in all its phases, bu:
It is not learned that any definite action
was taken.
The officers elected were as follows:
President, w. H. Routzahn; vice-pres-

PARK COMMISSIONERS
Let the East Side Park Boating Priv.
ileee-To Inspect Boulevard

|
The board of park commissioners met
in regular session yesterday morning.
Mayor Snyder called the session to or
disr somewhat later than the usual hour,
but the business transacted did not
consume more than thirty minutes. The
bids advertised for some time ago for
the boating privileges at East Side park
were opened. There were only three
bidders. w. D. Baldwin offered s351 so,
A. p Flood s407 and ]. J. White 1925.
The latter bid was accepted, the terms of
payment being the same as in the old
contract, and the new contract to be
for a period of two years. Mr.. White
holds the contract at present. The new
agreement will become effective on Oc-
tober l.
Superin tendent Carey reported that
twenty loads of sand had been placed in
the sand pit at East Side park, and as
much more is to be added. This is 10
be used as a playground for children,
and the cleanest sand obtainable is be-
ing used. Seven hundred plants had
been set out in this park, and forty loads
of stone had been hauled there to be
used in work now being done there. AT
Westlake park 225 feet of stone wall on
the Seventh street side had been COM
pleted, the work necessita ting the build
ing of 1900 feet of masonry. At FIRE.
mont gate, Elysian park, $685. plants
have been set out. The recommen0a-
ton of Mr. Carey that a lavatory be
placed at Westlake park for the use of
ladies was referred to the finance COM
mittee with power to act.
The secretary was directed to secure,
if possible, the use of two acres of land
adjoining East Side park, to be used as
dumping ground for park material.
The finance committee filed its re-
port recommending that the bid OF
Harper & Reynolds to furnish 250 feet of
four-inch pipe at 10 cents per foot, and
the bid of the same company for clean
ing and dipping $40 feet of pipe at 2k
cents per foot be accepted Adopted
The superintendent was empowered to
purchase the necessary cement for the
Westlake park wall at 1915 per barrel.
Commissioner Teed reported that por-
tions of the Elysian park boulevard was
giving way in places, and that when the
rains begin, unless the present breaks
are repaired, the roadway will! be
ruined. He said the matter needed i'm
mediate attention, and suggested that
the park commissioners, together with
the city engineer and such members of
the council as could go, visit the place
and see what could be done. This was
agreed to, and Tuesday afternoon at 2
o'clock was fixed as the time for the in
spection of the boulevard. The board
then adjourned
