The Olneyville times. (Olneyville [Providence, R.I.]) 1887-1917, 1909-02-05

The century just passed has wit
messed an enormous multiplication OF
large cities and their rapid growth.
In 1901 there were in all Europe but
twenty-five cities Of more than 100,-
900 inhabitants, of which only Lon
don and Paris had more than 500, 900,
and none reached a million. At pres
ent there are 100 cities of more than
100000 inhabitants, fifty-five above
500, 200, and seven Of more than
million. In the entire world there
are thirteen cities of a million or
more inhabitants, including the Euro
pean seven. NJ. de Foville, French
student of comparative statistics, at
tributes this unprecedented increase
TO the fact that the combined efforts
of science, industry and invention
have actually changed the face of the
world. Chemistry, steam and cleo
tricity, railways and steamships, gold
and credit have all appeared during
this period and have given both to
men and to affairs an impulse like
the stroke Of a magic wand.-San
Francisco Call.

JOHN CHANsLOR MEETS
DEATH IN THE SURF

At an early hour yesterday morning
the body of John Chanslor, an aged
and wealthy resident of Los Angeles,
was found in the waters of Waikiki,
near the end of the Moana Hotel pier.
The news of the death of Mr.. Chanslor
was great shock to his son and daugh-
ter and attendants, who have for
months looked so carefully after him
during period when his health was
failing.
For the past two years Mr.. Chanslor,
who had retired from active partici-
patton in his many business enter
prises, particularly oil interests, had
been subject to melaneholia. His son
and the Iatter's wife, who were devot-
ed to the elder Chanslor, have travelled
with him a great deal and several
weeks ago they decided on an ocean
voyage, coming first to Honolulu and
intending to go on to Japan. Mr..
Chanslor, his son and daughter-in-law;
a professional trained nurse, Miss K.
C. Rea, maid and a chauffeur COM
posed the party. Mr. Chanslor seemed
to respond to the change of climate,
although under constant attention by
those with him.
The last night of Mr.. Chanslor was
sleepless one, and he walked about
a great deal. Some time between 8
and o'clock Miss Rea went to him
and gave him a stimulant Later she
looked in upon him and believing him
to have fallen asleep she returned to
her apartment. After this Mr.. CHAINS
Tor appears to have risen again,
donned his clothes. with the exception
THAT he wore his nightdress under his
coat, and walked down the stairs. He
never used the elevator. Seemingly he
went out to get the fresh air. He
walked upon the long pier. How he
fell over into the water may not be
known as no one was astir at that time.
A Hawaiian canoe, manned by two
native fishermen, padding along in the
gray of dawn, saw an object in the
water near the pontoon, padded over
| and discovered the body, which they
took ashore and then notified the hotel
| people. The son was shocked beyond
| measure at the manner of death his
| father had met and for some time was
| quite unable to leave the body as it
lay on the beach.
It was felt necessary by the police
authorities to hold an inquest yester-
day afternoon and their verdict was
/ that Mr.. Chanslor came to his death
by drowning, but from causes unknown
to the jury. The body will be cremat-
ed and returned to the Coast on the
next steamer, for interment in Los An
| geles.
Mr.. Chanslor was about seventy
| years of age, and was one of the larg
] est oil operators in California, being al
the head of the Associated Oil Com
pany, although his son is president OF
i the company, which is represented here
4 by Captain Miller. He is regarded AZ
i a millionaire, and was influential il
j financial circles, particularly those OF
Southern California.
1t is sad ending to pleasure trg
which the family had hoped would re
suit in much benefit to their father :.
health. The party has been stavins
at the Moana Hotel. and some member:
recently returned from trip to thu
