» BISHOP LEMMENS HERE The Prelate of Vancouver Isl-| and Returns From Mexico. THREE MONTHS ON HORSEBACK His Grace Traveled Through Jalisco and Confirmed 23,000 Persons. Bishop Lemmens of Vancouver Island is | in this City on his homeward journey from | Mexico after an absence of five months in the southern Republic. He is a guest of the Paulist Fathers in their residence at St. Mary’s Church on California street. During his stay in Mexico Bishop Lem- mens went out of the beaten track, and saw much that is new to other lands. As a result of his careful observation of Mexico and the Mexicans he unhesitat- | ingly declares that the country is bad understood in the United States, and is in fact maligned by many travelers. His grace had more than one interesting experience in his travels, most of which were in the State o Jalisco, on the Pacific Coast. “I went to Mexico in response to an in- vitation to attend the coromation of the | picture of Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe,” | he said. *This ceremony took place on | October 12, and was regarded as such a | great event that many thousands of people | athered at Guadalupe, near the City of Mexico, to attend the ceremonies. Not | one-third of the crowds could get into the | immense charch. It was certainly an im- | pressive spectacle. The crown was about two feet high and was beautifully fash- | ioned in figures, coats of arms and floral | designs. It cost over $100,000, and was | made of egold and precious stones. Eight | ladies carried it up to the altar, and when it was placed over the head of the virgin the whole congregation shouted, ‘Viva la Virgin Mejicana! and they clapped their hands—a most remarkable thing for Mexi- cans, who were always quiet in charch. ‘‘After the coronation ceremonies I went to Guadalajara, in the State of Jalisco. Archbishop Lozs at that eity is very old— about 82 years—and could not. travel over his diocese, so I went through Jalisco ad- ministering confirmation. In three and a half months I confirmed 23,000 persons. | My work was in ‘the backwoods,’ where I | bad to el on horseback, as the roads were not fit for wagons. The country was | frightfully rough, and traveling over it tired one more than you could imagine. The people there I found most devout and intensely Catholic. Their manner of re- | « g tne bishop was characteristic. They would come out of the villages to meet me, 200 men or more on horseback and thousands of people afoot. : would cheer and strew the street with flowers, and in one place, where oranges seemed to be growing everywhere, those people covered the ground with oranges that the procession might pass over them. ““The people of Mexico bave been grossly misrepresented in the United States. They | | called at Attorney ered in a cellar under a saloon in the Orpheum building on O'Farrell street and an alarm was sounded {rom box 98. It was caused by two | erossed electric wires. Damage about $1000. RESEMBLES QUEEN LIL. Either the Lady or Mer Double, and Playing a Game of Hide and Go Seek. A strange story was in circulation yes- terday that Queen Lilinokalani of Hon- olulu had arrived here and that she was occupying a suite of rooms at the Palace preparatory to leaving for Europe. Before evening the story had gained apace and several people were sure they had seen this lady at the caravansary or her double. The double was so exact a reproduction of the deposed Queen that the observers, do what they would, could not rid themselves of the conviction that it waa really the Queen. While the hotel was reasonably well represented with persons who had seen the alleged Queen there were outside per- sons who were equally sure of it. A man ichards’ office early in the day and said that Mrs. Dominis, otherwise the ex-Queen, had arrived on the previous day's steamer incog,, and was, as the formier report had it, going to Europe. Another story even had it that the lady came on the Alameda. As the Alameda reached here on Thursday last much industry would necessarily have to be hown by her and her friends to keep the | knowledge of ber so Jong in the back- | ground. It is, of course, no secret that the Queen was to come to America and go on across the Atlantic. That hasbeen known for some time. In addition to all this two attaches of the hotel are certain the Queen is there, though three times as many other attaches are sure she is not on any of the floors. “Why, I certainly saw a dark-skinned, portly lady, with a massive face, large, dark eyes and thick black bair goirg in and out kere several times,”” said one. *‘I have seen her for fully threedays, and I meant to ask who she was. I said to myself, ‘Why, that lady looks like the pictures of this here Queen out here at Honolulu. She looked to be about 40 or 50 years old, and was very heavily built, She’s here all riszht enough in this here hotel some- where.” The second story was this: “Why, I saw her to-night. She was seated on that chair over there for a moment, and then she got up and. walked around with a white lady attired in_a light-colored dress.” Other attaches of the hotel claimed that the real Queen could not be there, RICHMOND SEWERS. The Piping Is Choked and the Sewage Backs Up in the Residents’ Backyards. The property-owners. in the vicinity of California street and Twelfth avenue are anxiously waiting for the Board of Health to move in their direction. Last Friday that body was notified that the sewers in that locality were in a deplorable condition and fast becoming a nuisance, and Dr. Lovelace notified the complainants that an inspector would investigate the next day. Five days have passed and the in- spector has not appeared. The story of those sewers isan oft-told tale. Last June the pipe running along Twelfth avenue, from Lake to California, was laid by Contractor J.J. Flynn. The work, according to the statement of J. J. REV., JOHN N. LEMMENS, D.D.,, BISHOP OF VANCOUVER ISLAND, B. C. have been accused of being ignorant, Su- erstitious and of living in darkness, I jound them very nice people, intelligent, honest and deeply religions. They have very good schools and plenty ot them free thronghout the lana.” For instance, m Guadalajara there are 100 schools, half of which are free. The Sisters of the Sacred Heart have an immense institution in Mex- ico, where they have boarders at school, day scholars, poor children and orphans. 1 went through these schools, and all the classes were full of children. These sis- ters have many institutions of learmng and charity throughout Mexico. In the City of Mexico there is an excellent school for the deaf and dumb and blind. 2 “All the people seemed anxious for Diaz for President. They wanted him to con- tinue at the head of the nation, and in this sentiment there seemed to me to be prac- tically no dissent, for Catholics were united with the other party on this point. They were all very anxious that the coun- try should progress in peace under his leadersbip. They don’t want revolution any more and they know that he can give them comiinued peace. ““They are going to have a Papal Dele- gate, Monsignor Averardi, a Bishop who | will occupy the same relative position as Monsignor Satolli in the United States. Heis known as ‘Visitador,’ but will have | jurisdiction over the church in Mexico. ,{102( likely he will remain at Tacubay: hear the city of Mexico, where a wea gentleman has placed a palace at his di ssal. : “There are twenty-eight Bishops and Archbishops in Mexico. In the arch- diocese of Guadalajara there are 600 priests #nd over 2,000,000 Catholic communicants, | with Bishops at Tepic and Colima. There are 40,000 to 60,000 Catholics in each parish there.”, | Bishop Lemmens broke his ankle about | “g:ven months ago and is still lame. He| was asked how he could have traveled over | the mountains on a horse for four months | with a broken limb but partly healed. 1 “Oh, in the saddle it did not pain me— | that 1s, much,’’ he replied, smiling. “‘Sometimes 1 rode two—three days ata stretch, througn ravines and over moun- tain trails. Tnen I would be a little lame at night after geiting out of the saddle. | There, you see, I'm a little lame yet,” as| be limped toward the door.

Bailly, J. B. Dittelbach and fourteen others, was poorly done. The sewer was at first refused by the Street Commissioner, but afterward ac- cepted. Now the sewage backs through the side sewers into the premises of a num- ber of the property-owners, and they will have to open the pipes and dig holes for cesspools in their backyards. whole system in that vicinity is becoming choked and useless. J. J. Bailly, whose neat little cottage is fast becoming uninhabitable because the Board of Health cannot possibly find Rich- mond district, stated last eveming that the sewer was badly laid. 2 “Contractor Flynn did not put it in deep enough in the first place,” said he. ‘‘At the crossing the pipe strikes the manhole too low down, smf the workmen did not cemert the joints together. So the sewer is choked up with sand and there is no outlet into California street. I can’t keep my family bere if something is not done. [ have lost five days from my business waiting for the Health Inspector to come out and take a look at the nuisance. The sewage from the house across the street comes up in my back yard, and I have to shovel it over my fence to get rid of it. We'll all be si ere if that sewer is not dug up and laid right. I can’t understand how ,su(‘h work was ever accepted by Ash- worth.” The signers to the long petition that was sent to the Board of Supervisors were: J. J. Baily. J. B. Dittelbach, John Porteous, Edward Chatman, Mrs. May Martin, J. D. Holst, Charles Rushton, b. D. McDonald, Leon F. Bailly, M. W. Cantrey, J. Craig, D. Eotelli, John Gatto, Mrs. Demartini, Mrs. Esther Rosener and George F. Lyon. The Sutro Primary School is within a block of the defective district. ————————— ‘With Their Boots Off. “‘A man killed on the railroad never dies with his boots on,” remarked a Reading Railroad employe at Wayne Junction yes- terday morning.”” In my experience of over twenty years [ have seen, perhaps, over a hundred cases where people have been struck and killed by engines, and in every instance when thie body was picked up the feet were found to be minus shoes. Even men wearing heavy top boots are not ex- empt from the invariable rule. Any olld t is a mystery which nobody seems able to solve.”—Philadelphia Record. - A sharp nose pointing forward is the characteristic of impudence and curiosity. The | THE MISSION ~ MASONS, Will Erect an Elegant Temple on Mission Street, Near Twenty-Second. FROM A FEW TO HUNDREDS. Remarkable Growth of the Mystic Craft in the City’s Sunny Belt. In addition to the many other prospec- tive improvements about to be inaugurat- ed in the sunbelt of the Mission the Ma- sonic fraternity of that section have under consideration the erection of a handsome this object in view they desire that Sun- shine Valley be made as attractive as pos- sible, so that families in quest of pleasant homes, instead of crossing the bay to Oak- land, Berkeley, San Rafael or Sausalito, can locate in” the footsteps of the early missionaries, wiio seldom if ever erred in selecting the loveliest sections for their permanent camping grounds. To obtain something of what they claim to be their equal share of the distribution of the public funds, a mass-meeting of the Eruxressive roperty-owners of the Mission as been called for next Saturday evenin, at Guerrero and Twentieth streets. This spontaneous action has been brought aggut by a consultation of such active and vublic-spirited property-owners as Juage Van Reynegom, ex-Supervisor C. W. Taber, John H. Grady, A. B. Maguire, Dr. L. Bush, George D. Shadburne, Joseph Scheerer, James D. Phelan, Dr. John H. Dawson, Daniel Sewell, Dr. Charles Clin- ton, Joseph O’Connor, Dr. James H. Hunter. The members of the Noe Improvement Club, the High Bchool Association, re- cently formed, and others have pooled their issues and will join together with one purpose in view, and in this manner they expect to gain recognition from not only the Board of Supervisors, but the en- tire community on the northern side of the divide. Masonic building in which the different For as one of the moving spirits said, / James A. Wilson, Worshipful Master of Mission Masonic Lodge. [Drawn from a photograph.) lodges may meet in the performance of their mystic and fraternal rites. Mission Masonic Lodge No. 169 was char- | tered on the 13th of October, 1864, with the | following-named officers: Edson Sammis, worshipful master; Nathan W. Spaulding, senior warden; John Ahern, junior wnr-i den; James Welch, treasurer; Daniel Hanlon, secretary; Alexander Elon, senior deacon; Mortimer Hopkins, junior deacon; Frank A. Rutherford and Irvin | 8. Lamb, stewards, and Joseph McQuoid, tyler. The lodge at the time of its charter had only twenty-one members, and among that number there are but a few now liv- ing probably. N. W. Spaulding and Frank McCoppin, the latter going in at that time as an enter-appreutice Mason, are the only two positively known to the present members to be living in San Fran- cisco. Since the date of its charter Mission | Lodge has flourished both in members and | in finance. It has now 400 members in good standing with an excellent set of officers. | The present worshipful master, James A. Wilson, is a contractor and builder and to_his foresight, pluck and enterprise, Mission Lodge will in the near future very largely owe its own building. Tt will be | located on the west side of Mission gtreet, between Twenty-second and Twenty-third, | backing up against Emanuel Baptist | Church, which faces on Bartlett street. The actual sale of the proposed site for | this new edifice has not as yet been con- summated. The transfer must be ap- proved of by the Probate Court, inasmuch | as the estate belongs to the heirs of Eliza O’Connor, but a deposit has been made and the sale, with the approval of the Superior Judge, may be considered a finality. On this site an elegant three-story brick building, with all modern improvements, will be erected at & cost of about $40,000. Plans and specifications will be orepared at once after the confirmation and the work pushed ahead with vigor, as the lease which the lodge now holas on the building at Valencia- and Sixteenth streets will ex- pire in June, 1897, | The present officers of this lodge are: Andrew Christinsen, senior warden; Wil- | liam H. Cobb, junior warden; C. D. Funker, secretary, and C. Flack, treasurer, and are most _earnest co-laborers in the contem- plated enterprise with Mr. Wilson. These | officers, with the 400 members, will take | more than ordinary pride in leaving to their brethren a building that will be use- | fal to themselves and their followers of the mystic tie, as well as an ornament to the { Mission district. MISSION MASS-MEETING Spontaneous Activity Evinced by Progressive Southside Prop- erty-Owners. Intellect, Wealth and Votes Are Ex- pected to Make Themselves Felt 3 at Last. A spontaneous leaven of activity has un- doubtedly taken hold of the progressive and public-spirited property-owners in the | Sunshine Valley, known as the Mission or the warm belt. The inactivity of by-gone days has fled | and the people who have been contributing $2,000,000 in taxes on an assessed valuation of $96,000,000 annually for a number of years, the greater proportion of which went to beautify and improve their far- away neighbors’ homes, are aroused in their own interests. | They ask that their portion of the city be recognized in the shape of a small ap- propriation. They want a High -School | for their grown-up children and a two- block park for their wives and children, without being compelled to contribute a day’s earnings’ to the railroad monopoly for the privilege of enjoying a few hours’ recreation in their own playground— Golden Gate Park. The residents of Sunshine Vallev are justly proud of the splendid climdte in which they live, and with that unselfish- ness so characteristic of their generous na- ‘‘We bave the wealth, the intellect and the votes to make somebody pay attention to our rightful wants.” From present appearances the meeting will bea rouser, and for the first time in | years the people of Sunshine Valley will make themselves felt among the officers who collect and expend the revenues of | the City. { FOLSOM-STREET WORK. The Railroad Company Will Offer No Obstacle to the Improvement. The executive committee of the South- side and Folsom-street Improvement Club held a meeting last night. A committee, consisting of G. 8. Center, 0. B. Maguire, F. W. McEwen and J. S8chwartz, reported that C. F. Crocker had been interviewed. He assured the committee that the rail- | road would present no obstacle to the exe- | cution of McDonald’s contract for bitu- menizing Folsom street. The petition for the balance of the ap- propriation for paving Folsom street, be- tween Third and Sixth, witl come up before the Street Committee to-day. A committee was appointed to attend. 1t was also decided to call a meeting of property-owners between Third and Ninth on next Wednesday evening to take steps toward reducing the width of the side- walks from 19 feet 6 inches, the present width, to 15 feet, in conformity with the rest of the street from Ninth street out. Dr. Rottanzi, J. M. Strauss, J. Rafferty, Leon Samuels and Joseph Kelly were ap- pointed a committee of arrangements. s VISITED HOG RANCHES, A Committee of the Board of Supervi- sors Has Its Eyes Opened. A committee of the Supervisors consist- ing of Messrs. King, Dunker, Wagner and Hobbs, accompanied by Health Officer Lovelace and Health Inspectors Duren and - Kenney, visited a number of hog ranches m the Bay View district yester- day to ascertain whether or not the places that have been complained of are a public nuisance, A terrible condition of affairs was found in a majority of the places visited and a number of the Supervisors expressed them- selves as satisfied thata nuisance exists | and that it should be abated. . Particular attention was paid to a ranch at Athens and Georgia streets where the stench was almost unbearable. A report will be rendered at the meeting of the board on Monday next. —————— An English Characteristic. A Canadian writes to remind Americans that the north pole belongs to Canada. | He recalls the Englishman.in Utah who | stuck his finger in Salt Lake, tasted it, and | exclaimed, “Why, I've come to the Britich possessions—this water is salt!” These Canadians are capable of claiming the | north star because their north- pole points toward it.

Mr. Vest looked amazad, and alter a minute’s hesi- tation, called out: “Mr. President, Mr. President.” The president paid no attention to Mr. Vest, however, when the Missouri member changed his tactics by declaring his desire to make 2 parliamentary inquiry. This appeal was not lost on the president. “The gentleman from Missouri will state it,”” he said, ignoring Mr. Peffer and Mr. Sherman. +I believe I was addressing the Senate and had the tloor,” said Mr. Vest, “‘but it seems that 1 have no longer got it.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MARCH 19, 18Y6. BOBTAILS DEEMED BLOTS Relics of the Past Seen on Mar- .ket, Montgomery and San- some Streets. A CALL FOR THEIR REMOVAL. Why the “To Lets” Adorn the Win- - dows—Bituminized Pave- ments Wanted. If the business people along Market, Montgomery and Sansome streets could awaken some morning and fail to see those ghosts of a past -age—the bobtail horse- car—wandering across their vision they would feel that they were indeed in the latter part of the nineteenth century. But no such awakening comes to them, at least not yet. Electric-cars thread the modernly paved suburban thoroughfares reaching out into the country, but through the thickest and richest portion of the City amble the single-horse affairs that were longing for a well-earned rest twenty years ago. The nhabitants of Market, Montgomery and Sansome streets are asking themselves why they should be left out of the march of progress while the newer north, west and south, and even the east, have been pro- vided for. But the question is old—almost a<old as a bobtail-car—and has been await- ing an answer for, lo, these many years. Market street has been taken better care of than the other two streets, but that great thoroughfare also needs re- pairs. At intervals during the day a dilapi- dated affair drawn by a single horse trundles wearily out of Fourth street, and another of like character escalpes out of Sixth, into Market. They are relics of the '70's erawling into the’90’s. The cable-trains go clanging by, hurrying away from the uncanny visitants, and even the trucks and other vehicles give them a wide berth. But the modern Market street is too fast for these Rip Van Winkles of twenty years of sleep and they dip out of the whirling current_into Mortgomery and Sansome streets. Then they trundle sleevily along until they disappear around the blocks where there are so many signs of “to let”’ in the distance. “1f Mr. Vining could only be made to see,’” said a prominent Market-street mer- chant yesterday, ‘‘tbhat anything put a dead car service on Montgomery street would recompense his cam}mny, the people of that thoroughfare would not be left out altogether and we would not be visited by those old bobtail eyesores traveling along from Sixth to Sansome. “Between those two sireets on Market is the liveliest part of the City. It is crowded all the time with every descrip- tion of vehicle. The cable-cars running thickly on their double tracks take up the most of the street and those miserable horse affairs most of the rest of the road- wav. The horsecars do not run often enough to be so great a nuisance, but the rails are. Those side-street horsecar sys- tems could all transfer to Market and otherwise keep outot it altogether. Market street has grown out of the bobtail age and very soon the electric-car, with the under- ground wires, will roll there.”’ Mr. Dohrmann, president of the Mer- chants’ Association, stated yesterday that he was trying to see his way through the PMKearny-street transfer proposition and could not take up any other question just yet. © “After we have got Kearny street into the great Market-street system, we may take up Montgomery street. It certainly needs a service, for it has none now. Good streetcars bring business, as every business person knows.” “We might do without the cars,” said member of a big real -estate a | firm, “but we must have Montgomery street bituminized. I say we might do without the cars, because we have been doing withoutthem for along time. Nobody rides here in them. They just roll ‘along to hold the franchise down. Here are three big hotels always crowded, and T'll venture not a landlord ever directs his guests into a Montgomery-street car. It would be an insult. They take the cross- street cables, or go to Kearny street. [t would not be so if we had a car service here. But car or no car, we want these old cobble-stones dug out and a smooth pavement put down.” “Montgomery street must have a mod- ern car service,” said Henry P. Sonntag, the real estate man, vesterday. *‘It is a business proposition that brings business in turn. A locality must progress ordie. The Mills builaing was renewed life to that lecality. Why are tuere so many houses and offices ‘to let’ around the lower end of Montgomery? Because no improvements have struck the place NEW TO-DAY.
