Handsoma Church Plans,

The new plans for the Methodist
church reconstruction as prepared BY
a Kansas City architect and adopted
BY the board OF trustees are on exhi-
bition in the window Of the Tufts
furniture store. They show a very
handsome design and one that will he
o credit to the city. The Methodists
greatly need new church to accom-
MEDIATE their large congregations
growing membership and the city
hopes to see them go on with the
building at once. Rev. R. V. Ma
loney, the pastor. has awakened much
interest in the matter and it is prob
able that success will come.

NO AUTOS CANE,
Milwaukee Representative Was .
Fraud and Fake.

Some weeks ago man giving his
name as ]. P, Irwin and claiming to
be the president Of the Milwaukee
automobile club was here. as told in
the REFLECTOR ct that time, and
made arrangements for the members
entertainment over night. He said
that about thirty machines filled with
Milwaukee people we're going to the
G. A. R. at Denver and wanted &C.
commodations here. he contracted
for 800 gallons Of gasoline, q stable
for their housing and board at the
hotels for the people. The item was
copied by eastern papers and was
noticed by the secretary Of the Mil
waukee club who writes as follows:
There is no J. P. Irwin, either a
member Of the Milwaukee automobile
club .or even registered in the city
directory. We never heard Of any
such name. I doubt very much Il
you could find thirty Automobiles in
Wisconsin who could supply ninety
others foolish enough to attempt that
long trip from here to Denver and
return In automobiles" 70
the strange part OF the affair is
that ]. P. Irwin did not even try to
secure any money on his transactions
here and why he made such contracts
and representations is past finding

DEATH OF MEXICO'S
EMBASSADOR.
Azpiroz After a Long
Illness Passes
Away.
He Conducted Case
Against Emperor
Macmillan.

WASHINGTON, March 24.-Senor
Don Manuel de Azpiroz, Mexico's nrst
ambassador to the United States, dled
this afternoon at the Mexican EN-
bassy, surrounded by members OF MS
family. He was So years Of age. Al
though q sick man since last fall' the
ambassadors death was due 10 a re-
lapse caused by exposure on inaugura-
tion day. Against the advice OF MS
physicians, Senior Azpiroz left his sick
room and attended the inaugural cere-
monies at the Capitol, where he came
near fainting.
For years the Embassador has suf-
fered from gastritis and this weakened
his heart. His death this afternoon
was unaccompanied by suffering.
Senior de Azpiroz left his law office
to enter the Mexican army and rem
dered gallant service In the uprising
of his country against the French in
tervention, rising In rank from Sec
ond lieutenant to colonel. After the
fall of Queretaro, he was appointed
prosecuting attorney in the court
martial Of Macmillan, Miramon and
Mejai.
When the revolution of Tuxtepec un-
der General Diaz overthrew the exist
ing Government Colonel Azpiroz retired
to private life. In May, 1890. he be-
came Assistant Secretary Of the Min
istry of Foreign Relations and held
that position until his appointment or
First Mexican ambassador to the
United States.
The imperial house OF Austria has al
ways taken the position that Senor Az
plroz, through his connection with the
court-martial of Macmillan, was in
part responsible for Maximilian's exc
cution and during the early days OF the
service of Senior Azpiroz at Washing
ton this fact proved of keen enbarrass-
ment to himself and the Austrian rep
resentative. Finally it was arranged
that when brought together at official
functions these two diplomats should
exchange formal greetings. This, how
ever was not until an embarrassing in
cident had occurred at the White House
during the administration OF President
Mckinley. when the Mexican Embassa-
dor was assigned to escort to the din
| ing-room the wife of the Austrian En-
bassador and the latter felt compelled
| to decline.
