"Oh, 1 know" said a third. "It means
damn old Mesmer, don't you see?"
Selling a scantling, the old gentleman
was not long in scattering the irrever-
ents. This f1ippant witticism, which
is nearly as old as the cathedral, was
long current in Los Angeles.
ST. Vibianas, which was looked upon
as so great an undertaking thirty years
ago, is no longer sufficient for the pur-
poses of the church, and will be re-
placed by much grander structure,
which the energetic Bishop Conaty
has designed. 1t will have no more
Jealous promoter than was Louis Mes

Morocco Ranch
The contemplated moving of the
Country club to the Morocco ranch
recalls to my attention two well-known
German-Americans who owned that
ranch and who long ran the United
States hotel under the firm name of
Hammel & Denker. They were both en-
ergetic citizens and always willing to
stand in with any enterprise which was
for the upbuilding of Los Angeles. R. II.
Denker, the younger of the two, was at
one time interested in the Kernville
mines. He was not successful there,
came back to Los Angeles and settled
down with his friend, Henry Hammel,
to the hotel business, which, well man
hoS oil beap SucCaSa in
Los Angeles from these gentlemen
down to date. They had the great good
sense to buy the Morocco ranch,
splendid body of land lying this side
of John Wolfskil's Buenos Ayres
ranch. Upon this property they started
and ran for years an extensive dairy
and also carried on large and successful
farming operations. During the boom
times of 1SS6-S7 they were offered a
million dollars for the Morocco, and
Denker at least regretted they did
not sell, for he often told me So.
The ranch must be exceedingly Valu-
able now, and the removal there of the
Country club will doubtless add
greatly to it's rating.
Denker died suddenly at COM
paratively young age, to the surprise
of his many friends who thought there
were many years of vigorous life be-
fore him. Henry Hammel has also
passed away, which astonished no.
body, as he was of late years quite Il
sickly man. These men illustrated
what so many other Germans have
done in Los Angeles that any one who
gets hold of considerable sections of
Los Angeles property is sure to get
rich.
As | have referred several times to
| the United States hotel, l may men
tion that Iyar A. Weld once kept that
caravansary. He was for years United
States gauger for Los Angeles county.
He was a Scandinavian, and an ac-
complished gentleman. He also got
rich from iudicious investments in
property on the Cahuenga road and
on Los Angeles and Spring and Main
streets. In one of the frequent visits
which he frequently made to his old
home in Sweden he died deprivins
Los Angeles of a progressive and en-
terprising citizen. He fought ON the
Union side in the Civil War, resigning
from the Swedish army to tender his
sword to the government Of the United
States.

The question of another new Cabinet
Officer is again under discussion in GER
tain legislative coteries. Since the acqui-
sition of Hawaii, Porto Rico, Panama and
the Philippines and suzerainty of Cuba.
The Secretary of War has more to do in

There has always been jealousy be

regard to favoritism in appropriations,

entitled to and for the purpose of securing

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Barely twenty working days remain
for the present Congress. Of course, the
next three weeks will be much given to
night sessions and hurried work which,
if it were not irreverent as applied to Con-
gress, means "scamped work. Bills
will be passed that should not become laws
and laws for which there has long been
crying need will be put off it may be for
years. 1t is scarcely possible for much
needed postal legislation to be enacted.
The railroad rate bill cannot be passed in
proper form, although some measure
looking to regulation may be enacted.
The Appropriation bills will be passed, of
course. The Government must have
money to pay expenses. 1t is deplorahle
that Congress has no superintendent or
boss who can make it work. Of course
the country is its boss, but the supervision
is so indirect that it seems impossible to
hold legislators down to their work. To
an onlooker up tree or from another
plant the main duty of Congress and its
wife would appear to be of social
rather than of legislative character.
Of all the administrations since George
Washington, that of Roosevelt keeps the
openest house. Receptions at the Execu-
tive Mansion to which invitations are is

News comes this morning that the New
York Chamber of Commerce opposes the
government railroad rate making. There
is also intelligence that Mr. Hepburn has
been hanged in effigy on account of the
bill which he has introduced and his atti-
tude toward the railways. From other
sources-notably Pennsylvania through
Congressman Sibley-come notes and
thunders of protest, and friends of the re-
form have great fear that they will not be
able to overcome the coalition of those
opposed to any really effective bill. The
opposition of the Chamber of Commerce
in New York is easily understood for
large portion perhaps the majority Of rail
road stock is held in New York and much
of it by members of the Chamber of Com

more harmonious, more in accord with
the Administration, and more effective in
carrying out the promises, platforms and
that made it.

The Agricultural appropriation bill
came up this week and Senator Plat,
from that leading agricultural state, Con
necticut, intimated that the practical
farmers of the country thought the Agri-
cultural Department was rather OVERRIDING
itself in the way of experiments and in
ventions. He may have had reference to
the cultivation of Northern oranges; or
perhaps he thought the wooden nutmeg
monopoly of his state might be
interferred with. Senator Pettus of
Alabama, the Oldest Senator on the
floor made one of those rare improptu
efforts for which he has a reputation
He declared that the Agricultural appro
priation was the most valuable one that
Congress was called upon to make.
Don't you remember the flowers in
front of the cabin door when you were a
boy?" he asked. "Don't you remember
the violets growing there, oh Senators?''
eve young men remember those things"
do not forget the time when you were

not believe the Secretary of Agriculture
sends cotton seed to- Maine. and do not
know whether he has nutmeg seed or not

 In a moment a khaki clad marine hospital surgeon enters. He produces title cheimcal thermometer. the sight of which chases a thrill of fear through the frame of the helpless An gelo.

 look of agony shines from the face of the patient and a whitened face is turned to the wall. It Is an old story to the sanitary force, however. and they go on to the next stop. This is outlined in an order by the inspec- tor that they search and renovate the house and later the entire square.
 Angelo is taken to the emergency hospital to die next day. He is too far gone, when found. for medicines to serve And thus it goes on.
 often these inspectors have found two and even three members of the same family down with the fever needing food as well as medicine, with out water. in a room close and musty and in intense heat, yet always hid ing from the doctors. That is the principal cause of the heavy death rate up to this time.

One of these Is the emergency hospital and another is the screened ambulance. The ann bulance service attached to the Char ity hospital Is one of the best in the world and the people are accustomed to the changing bell and rushing horses. The screened ambulance is q new feature entirely. IL is product of the campaign in Havana and Is un- dergoing its introduction to America.
