FATHER MEYER DYING
SUFFERING FROM PNEUMONIA
AND HEART DISEASE
President of st. Vincent's College and
Pastor of st. Vincent's Church-At
the Sisters Hospital

Father A. J. Meyer D. D., president
of st. Vincent's college and paistor' OF
St. Vincent's church, is lying at the
point of death at the Sisters hospital.
So serious is his condition that four
! physicians have been in consultation
about the case, and all agree that, while
there is chance for his recovery, he
will probably never again be seen in his
pulpit.
Four days ago he was seized with
pneumonia, and the same day an old
affection of the heart, which had trou-
bled him before, recurred, and his con-
dition at once became most serious.
The attack of pneumonia was in ag-
gravated form, the congestion extend
ing almost throughout the chest. The
cause Of his illness was overwork. He
| had been spending from fourteen to
seventeen hours per day at his labors,
and a severe cold caused his rugged
constitution to break down. He was
conveyed to the hospital, where the
best of medical attention was given
| him. The disease failed to relax, in
spite of the skillful treatment, and last
night the reverend gentleman was so
weak that his life was despaired of.
The attending physicians stated, how
| ever, that there was a possibility of a
favorable change today or tomorrow.
Father Meyer is a native of Germany.
He was educated for the ministry i'll
ireland and in New Orleans. Fourteen
years ago he came to this city and took
charge Of St. Vincent parish. Nine
years later he returned to ST. Louis,
where he remained about two years,
teaching theology in the Catholic semin-
ary, according to the teachings of his
order, the Lazarist fathers. Returning
to Los Angeles about three years ago,
he again became pastor of st. Vincent
and also president of the Catholic col
lege. In that position he has become one
of the best-known educators of the state
His friends and admirers are not con-
fined to the members of his own faith
for he is highly regarded outside of the
| church.

icas for 1t. He has not a very high idea
Of the republics down there.
''The fact of the matter is," he said,
that none OF those people are fit to
govern themselves, except the Mexi-
cans, who have q great and beneficent
man at their head in Gen. Diaz. They
were all of them better off under Span
ish rule than they have ever been since.
1t is the same with Cuba. When was
in New York 1 was asked to subscribe
to a fund for the sufferers in that ISL
and, and 1 did give little to it, adding
in writing that it was for the Spanish
sufferers in Cuba. The Central and
South Americans have no idea of gov
ernment. 1 assisted in one of the cleo
tions in Caracas, and the ballot box we
had charge of was literally carried about
on a bayonet. At each polling place
there is always a file of soldiers who see
that the citizens vote the right way, and
governing is simply grab by the gov
ernors for what the governed have.
But in Mexico all is different. There
life and property are as safe as in this
country; in fact, in some instances per-
haps safer. The government is strong
but it is just, and all rights are jealously
respected. I consider Mexico the COM
ing country for development and oppor-
tunities. 1t presents exhaustless fields
for safe Investment and has boundless
affairs for the active and well-poised
man of business.
1T cannot understand why so much
sympathy is felt and patience used to-
wards many of the South American gov
ernments by our nation. Americans are
disliked in almost all of them and in
most instances hated. This Is so with
the Cubans themselves. They have no
use for us except to try to get our aid.
In Mexico this feeling does not exist, it
is true, but in the smaller and more
southern countries an American is at a
great disadvantage. The sympathy and
commerce of all of those peoples is given
to the Europeans"
Mr.. Longstreet has returned to make
his home here. Eyes, the old town has
changed greatly" he said, ''but it has
the same glorious sunshine, the same
lovely scenes and many of the same no.
BILE fellows I used to know. have wan
dered all care to-"
Mr.. Lonsstreet is now a man of busi-
ness strictly. He has opened an office
here and has the brightest prospects
before him. He has been welcomed by
the many who knew him and who re-
spect him, and he will find no difficulty
in taking his proper place both in social
and business circles. He has developed
in the same way that the city has and
certainly deserves the success that
should be his.

Begging Doesn't Pay

Begging on the streets may be prohtaple
when it is properly done, but being caught
at it cannot be considered at all so. For
the past two weeks there has been hardly
a day in the police court but what one or
more alleged unfrrtunates have been pre-
sented, and a Jail sentence is invariably
imposed There were two such cases yes
terday. Frank Baker was caught on Main
street. where he was soliciting aims from
every person he met He was given sem
tence of fifty days in Jail. George Deitz
was more fortunate. He had not been
doing business on so large a scale and
thirty days was mentioned as the length Of
his term of Imprisonment.

A CATTLE CONCESSION
A New York Syndicate Favored by
Honduras

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The Herald
says: One of the largest concessions
ever obtained by an American from
foreign government has fallen into the
hands of syndicate of New York cap
italists, who have completed the organ
ization of a company to control the ex-
portation and importation of cattle and
livestock of all descriptions from and to
the republic of Honduras. The conces-
sion is for twenty-five years. This con-
cession was granted August, 1895, by the
government of Honduras to Mr.. Otto
Zurcher, a citizen of Switzerland. His
labors resulted in the formation a few
days ago of the Honduras-American
Cattle, Agricultural and Colonization
Company. P. T. Barlow of New York
is President of the company; Jose An
tonic Lopez of Guatemala is Vice-Presi-
dent; James Y. Alden Of New York Is

at 81, ,O0O, 900. The exclusive rfght TO es-
tablish and operate slaughterhouses, re-
frigerators, canning factories, packing
houses and other establishments OF like
nature is granted. as is exemption from
all taxation on the company's property
and products. About 100000 acres OF
nublic land was granted to the company.
The concessions, it is believed, will place
the new company in few years at the
front. both here and in Europe. Tho
nrice of beef on the hoof in Chicago is
AZ cents per pound. To this must be
added the cost of railway transportation
to the East and Of shipping to Europe.
The cost in Honduras is 2a cents
pound and only the cost of the shipment
by water is to be added. The projectors
of the company expect to capture the
entire Cuban trade at once, after which
they will try to gain the German trade
and that of the United States.

FUNG SAM
Arrested by Officer Baker and Charged
With Forgery

Officer Baker yesterday gathered in
Celestial who is booked as Fung Sam, and
the charge against him is forgery. Thereby
hangs a tale that is yet to be verified.
1t SENS that dealer in clothes her was
lured into parting with a suit of the same
for money order for 49, which was duly
signed and apparently rendered negotia-
bic. When the money order was presented
at the postoffice. however, it transpired
that there were instructions there that it
should not be cashed, as a duplicate had
been issued, rendering the original null
and void The dealer in clothes thereupon
began to bewail and call himself uncompli-
mentary names for having trusted hea-
then Chinee, when suddenly, by special
and extreme good luck the Celestial and a
police officer transpired about the same
time, and now through the courts will come
an explanation to the puzzle the key to the
