 place Of meeting. For days the girl paced the streets of New York in search of the two brothers whom she was destined never to see nor hear of again during her entire life.
 She finally gave up the search in despair and, having no friends to whom she could go, decided to appeal to the Catholic church, of which she was a member. It was then that she met Bishop Byrne, who was prepar- ing 10 move to Little Rock.
 She decided to become a Catholic teacher and shortly afterward left, in company with Bishop Byrne, for this city, which. at that time. was a small village. The entire trip, as far as Napoleon. Ark, was made overland in stage coach. From Napoleon to Little Rock the journey was made in small canoe.
 A short time later Bishop Byrne was established as the first bishop of the Catholic church in this diocese. which was then composed of Arkansas, Tex as and Indian Territory Mrs. Far min was made one of the instructors fin the Catholic school, then located on the corner of Second and Center streets. She was one of the first Cath ollie teachers in this territory. Mrs. Farmin remained in Little Rock the rest of her life In 1850 she was inI rln hA 1ot was also closely associated with the early history of Little Rock. He served as deputy state auditor for a period of twenty years. He died In May, 1887.
 During her residence in this city locate her two brothers whom she had lost in New York. Her efforts were of no avail, however, as she never heard of either one One of the two brothers, Mark McTver, was physi- clan, while the other had prepared himself to be an attorney. On the same day that President Abraham Lin coin was assassinated man was shot in the Palmer House, in Chicago A prominent physician by the name of Dr. Mark McIyer was called to attend the mans injuries and Mrs. Farmn always entertained the belief that he was her brother, She made several at l tempts to ascertain whether or not | her belief was correct, but for some reason she was never able to gain any | information on this point.
 Mrs. Farmin died on her 77th birth day anniversary, Her death was the result of heart trouble and old age and was not unexpected.

NEW CAR SERVICE
OUT WEST SIXTH
After Many Delays Picturesque Dis
trIct Is Brought Into Close Touch
with Business Center.
Route Of Line

After series of delays the new Sixth
street car line, which runs out Seventh
street from Broadway to Alvarado,
north on Alvarado to Sixth street, west
on Sixth street to between Gramercy
and Wilton place, thence north to
Fourth street, commenced regular ope-
ration to the end Of the line at Fourth
and Gramercy place Wednesday.
This car line was to have been COM
pleted and in operation In August Of
last year, but delay in getting mater
ials for the road and men to build 1t
has held the completion of the line
back until this time. To compensate
the property owners for the delay the
railroad company is giving them an
exceptionally good service. The run
ming time from the end of the line at
Fourth and Gramercy to Broadway
is only eighteen minutes and the cars
are operated every six minutes. This,
with transfers to all of the yellow car
lines in the city, places the Wiltshire
boulevard district as close to the heart
Of the city as Grand avenue and Adams
street, and makes 1t at once what ma
ture intended 1t to be-the most desir-
able and beautiful section in the city
of Los Angeles.
