Every day brings the news ot more buildings going up all over town, and the carpenters, lumbermen, masons and all others interested in construction work are being kept busy.

The" interior will be fitted with all the modern improvements, including hot and cold air pipes, giving each tenant any temperature by an adjusting gauge. There will be a fire alarm system in each room, that will automatically turn in the fire alarm when the temperature reaches or goes beyond 130 degrees heat, with an indicator giving the number of the room and floor, thus locating the fire at once.

CHURCH NOTES. Topics Discussed by tne Ullslitern Yesterday. The churches were better attended yesterday than usual, and at this time of the year, when so many people go to watering places, the large attendance is noticeable. Several new church edifices are to be added to Los Angeles shortly, and the increased population of the city will then find better accommodation. The Unitarian church is to be dedicated in a week or so, and the Simpson Tabernacle and First Congregational church are nearing completion. The services yesterday were quite interesting. At Christ Church, on Temple street, Rev. Thos. W. Haskins preached on "Care and Sanctification of the Body," at the morning services. At the First Baptist Church the ordinance of baptism preceded the regular morning service, which was followed by the Lord's Supper. Rev. W H. Pendleton, at the Central Baptist Church, on Third street, chose for his morning topic, "The Christian's Bun and Bhield," and for his evening subject, "Light out of Darkness." At the Plymouth Congregational Church, Rev. J. A. Wells preached yesterday morning, on "The Evolution of Sonship." Rev. R. G. Hutchins, at the First Congregational Church, took for his topics, •'The Parable of Man's Modifications of the Earth's Surface," and "Jesus Before Pilate." At the Main-street M, E, Church, on

Celis street, Rev. E. Thomson preached on "Benevolence," at the morning service, and "Faith," attheevening service. Rev. W. A. Knighten chose for the subject of his sermon, yesterday morning, at Grace M. E. Church, "A Glorious Mountain-top." In the evening the Women's Foreign Missionary Society held a meeting, which was addressed by Mrs. J. W. Van Cleve and Mrs. Dr. Dougherty. Rev. S. M. Godsey, of the Pacijic Methodist, presided at the morning service at Trinity M. E. Church South. At the evening service, Rev. H. M. Dv Boee took for bis subject, "A Night Salvation." At the Fort-street M. E. Church, Rev. R. S. Cantine preached at the morning service, on "A Christian Legacy." The young people's meeting, held at 6 r. m., was led by J. M. Walters. Rev. D. V. Bowen preached at the New Church yesterday morning, on "The Letter and the Spirit." Dr. Fay will return from San Francisco to-morrow. Rev. W. W. Tinker, of Fast Los Angeles, intends to go to London this month, to be in attendance at the International Sunday School Convention, which meets there on July Ut. To-day Dr. Reed will address the Ministerial Union, on the merits of high license. The Ladies' Foreign Missionary Society, of the First Congregational Church, will meet to-morrow at 2:30, in tbe church hall. To-morrow evening the young ladies of the Firßt Congregational Church will give a missionary concert in the church hall. The Ladies' Guild of the Church of the Ascension will meet on Wednesday afternoon, at Mrs. Hastings' residence, on Michigan avenue. The members and congregation of the Church of Immanuel are to meet at that house of worship in Los Angeles College next Thursday evening, for the purpose of choosing a lot upon which to build their new church. Between eight and nine thousand dollars have been subsciibed to the fund, and further subscriptions are expected. A number of eligible lots will be presented before the meeting to choose from, and the final selection will be then made. It will be remembered that the Church of Immanuel is an offshoot from the First Presbyterian Church, Dr. J. W. Chichester, the pastor of that church, having resigned for the purpose of starting this new church, as the First had become cumbrously large in membership. The membership of the new church already numbers about one hundred, and is constantly increasing. It possesses the elements of making one of the strongest churches in this city. Dr. J. W. Chichester delivered an eloquent and powerful sermon at the Church of Immanuel yesterday, upon the tendency of a class of people to be dazzled and captured by "new and improved" religious doctrines. They were deluded by the idea that these doctrines had never before been ! made to do service, when in fact they were only old dogmas invested with modern garbs. The knowledge and experience of the ages had settled down to one safe and reliable belief. The Bible alone was the true :irk of safety. The teachings of Jesus were the only sure reliance, and these could be summed up in the words of the text, "faith, hope and love," the greatest of which is love. STREET SPRINKLING. A Proposition to Cbanjrc tl»e System. The Finance Committee of the City : Council has about come to the conclusion that it will advise that the city discontinue the payment for sprinkling the streets out of the city funds, and that it will recommend that the plan of other cities be carried out. This is to provide for the payment for street sprinkling by the property owners fronting on the streets. It ha 3 been the custom for some time past for the city to pay for the sprinkling of all graded streets, but of late it has been found almost impossible to do thiß. There have been so many miles of graded streets added to the city within the past two years, that the money appoitioned to the street-sprink-ling fund does not last long enough to pay the demand for the year. Then there are many largely-traveled streets which are not sprinkled, but which should be sprinkled. If the system of allowing tbe property owners to pay for sprinkling is adopted, no street need remain unsprinkled. The contract for sprinkling the streets will not expire until next January and the city will have to continue until then, paying for the street sprinkling. It is probable that the other arrangement will be tried upon the expiration of the contract. A Musical Evening;. On Wednesday evening an evening of music will be given at the Lob Angeles College, by Miss Margaret Anderson and Miss Maud Hoffman, assisted by the Lorely Quartette, Miss Kirkpatrick and Mr. Willhartitz.
