16 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1895. ST MARY'S BEAUTIFIED, safiimeviss bt FESTIVAL OF PENTECOST, | s — 3 The Paulist Fathers Have Frescoed and Remodeled the Old Edifice. BRILLIANT IN ITS EFFECT. A Grand Sacred Concert Under Fritz Scheel to Be Given in the Church. When the parishioners of !St. Mary’s Church on California street enter the old | edifice next Sunday they will be agreeably surprised at the spectacle of a magnificent interior, quite brilliant and pleasing in its effect. Where everything was somber as the walls of a venerable cathedral there is brightness in color, beautiful frescoes, ornamental electroliers and oaken wood- W The whole is a very happy combi- nation, which makes the church attractive, while having, in a remarkable degree, changed the architectural outlines. And the Paulist fathers are justly proud.of the improvements they have made. The scaffolding used by the decorators was taken down yesterday and it was then | be given in St. Ma by electricity from a “crown’’ over the cen- | ter and side clusters. In the sanctuary a marble memorial table has been erected to Rev. E. B. Brady, the pastor, who died after he had estal lished the San Fran-isco house of his order at St. Mary’s and seen it succeed beyond Iex)wc(atiuns. The inscription is as fol- ows: In memory of Rev. Edward Bernard Brady, C.8. P, first superior of the Institute of St. Paul the Apostle, in San Francisco and_rector of 8t. Mary’s Church, died April 13, 1895. “Blessed are the dead who die in the Loid, for they rest from their labors and their works fol- low them.” Requiescat in pace. The improvements in the church were contemplated by him, although it has fallen to Rev. H. H. Wyman, the new rector, to carry them into execution. The Paulist fathers were given possession of St. Mary’s on December 9, 1894, by Arch- bishop Riordan and since then have become very Eupular and have done extra- ordinary work in various ways. The only resources for improvements come from the congregation. At Easter an envelope col- lection was made and it proved a surprise to the fathers, as the parishioners gave liberally.

Formerly St. Mary’s was finished in plain, rough mortar with- out painting, the only attempt® at decora- tion being about the “sanctuary, and that was in dark colors that failed to harmonize and rather served to increase the too som- ber effect. \ The woodwork was dark and heavy, and this, carried out even through the rows of columns on either side, made ‘them look massive, if not. indeed, clumsy. Archbishop Alemany brought a magnificent painting from Rome years ago and had it placed over the main altar. Time had changed it 80 the colors were dimmed almost beyond recognition, as it had done with two smafier pictures—the *‘Crucifixion” and the ‘“Madonna of the Sistine Chapel”’— which hung at either side. But the beau- tiful white marble Gothic altar, fashioned by a master hand in Italy forty vears ago, has lost none of its exquisite beauty with age, and it is doubtful if as fine an aitar is Ssewhere to be found in San Francisco to- ay. ‘With a good Gothic interior to work upon and with three great paintings and this altar as a foundation the sculptorsand fresco artists, who are finishing their task, found it easy to_transform the old church into a really artistic and elaborate house of worship.

[From a photograph.] bebind the altar was cleaned and varnished and set in a new frame, and the other paint- ings were taken out of their wooden fram- ing and placed flat against the wall in elegant Gothic moldings that are carried up into flowery finials as Gothic frames should be. They stand out from panels decorated after the Byzantine style though the coloring gives the impression of mosaics, and makes a very effective back- ground. The prevailing. tone over ceiling and walls is a warm cream, or something of that order, intensified with delicate fres- coes and stenciling. All the moldings are treated in warmer shades with good results. The richest and most elaborate details surround the sanctuary on three sides, that is, both in combination of color and profusion of ornament. In a row of arches rising out of glowing colors is a series of ornamental scrolls, Romanesque in style, which add greatly to the beauty of the decorations. Beneath this fresco several painters were graining the wood paneling in light oak, which is especially intended to harmonize with the frescoes. The dpews have been repaired and re- painted in oak, and several new ones were added to accommodate the increased de- manda for seats at the Sunday masses. A new gystem of lighting has been intro- duced, and now_instead of a monstrous chandelier fashionable fon.Y years ago there are three clusters of electric lights suspended from the roof that fully illumi- nate the church, and besides these are or- to Europe.

THE SUICIDEOF A VETERAN John H. Crocker, a Stock- broker, Sent a Bullet Through His Brain. Neuralgia and Despondency the Princlpal Causes for the Rash Act. John H. Crocker, a well-known stock- broker, committed suicide at his home, 1632 Broadway, yesterday morning. The causes that led to his death are not posi- tively known, but it issupposed that finan- cial troubles coupled with a severe attack of neuralgia was the cause for the des- perate deed. The suicide was apparently not premedi- tated. Crocker breakfasted with his wife and daughter as usual, and was apparently in good spirits. Later he complained of a severe pain in his head, and his wife bathed it with vinegar and water. The op- eration gave him relief, and he had his lunch put up, preparatory to going to his office on Pine street. His lunch-basket was handed to him, and his wife and daughter thought he had left the house, the latter remarking, ‘‘There goes papa,” when she heard a bang which she took to be the slamming of the front door. It was the bang of a pistol, however, which sent her father’s soul into eternity. Crocker, after leaving his wife ana daughter, must have been seized with an- other attack of neuralgia and at once went uP to his room. He took off his boots and placed them beside the bed, secured an old-fashioned four-barreled pistol from the bureau, laid himself down on the bed from which he had arisen only a few hours pre- viously, and placing the pistol behind his right ear fired the fatal shot. he deceased leaves a widow and three children, the youngest of whom is a girl 12 years of age.” He was a member of Myrtle Council, Legion of Honor, of Ivy Lodge, Knights of Honor, and a member of Sxe George H. Thomas Post, G. A. R., being a veteran of the War of the Rebelion. John H., Crocker was born in Massachu- setts fing;wyo years ago. When the war of the rebellion broke out he at once went to the front, and served with distinction until peace was declared. Afterward he was in the employ of the War Department and subsequently came to San I'rancisco and engaged in the stock business. He made money rupxdli, and the firm of Crocker & Suydam, which he established, was considered one of the most responsible on the street. After a time Suydam re- tired, and Crocker carried on the business alone. Latterly business has not been good and all the ;stocktrokers have lost money. Crocker’s losses have been heavy, but nevertheless no one thinks for a mo- ment that he was embarrassed to an ex- tent that would cause him to take his life.

THE TEMPLES ARE DECORATED. Confirmation Exercises Held by Children of the Hebrew Sabpath-Schools. Pentecost, the second of the great He- brew festivals, was celebrated yesterday. The synagogues were filled with large audiences, and the sacred edifices were dressed in their holiday garb of white. Floral decorations were also in evidence, the Pentecost partaking of the character of a summer festival. A feature of the ser- vices was the confirmation exercise, which was concluded by the distribution of diplomas to the confirmant . The Temple Emanu-El presented a beautiful appearance. Floral pieces of great beauty were placed in profusion where they appeared the most effective. The pillars of the synagogue were adorned with garlands of green, and on the pulpit were placed palms and flowering shrubs. The music was of a high order, and was under the direction of Cantor E.J. Stark. Among the numbers rendered were Psalm C (Horin). Miss Daisy Cohn rendered effective aid with her soprano voice. In- strumental music, string and wind, was furnished by Messrs. 8chmidt and Heine. Many of the numbers sung were of Cantor Stark’s composition. The confirmation exercises were opened with the singing of “Come, ye Children,” introducing a solo by Miss Cohn. Fifteen children then ranged themselves around the pulpit, where they were questioned by Rabbi Voorsanger regarding the teachings of the Jewish faith. Each of the con- firmants delivered an appropriate address, either to the class or to the congregation. Dr. Voorsanger then addressed the chil- dren who had been confirmed, giving them an outline of their duties as Hebrews and Americans. He exhorted them to remem- ber that the greatest title they could attain was gentleman or gentlewoman. Diplomas were issued to the following confirmants, who have attended the Sab- bath-school : Dora Levy, Cecilia Fischer, Henrietta A. Son, Matilda_Coblentz, Lucille 8. Wollen- berg, Edna Schloss, Rosine H. Dennery, Grace B. Wiener, Percy J. Meyer, Lester A. Scheeline, Albert H. Frank, Julius H. Voorsanger, Alex Meyer, Arthur Nor- mand, Aubrey Wertheimer. The' closing hymn, composed. by Mr. Fl(nrk, brought the beautiful service to its close. The synagogue Sherith Israel at Post and Taylor streets looked its best yester- day. Great efforts were made in the way of floral decoration. From the ark to the reading desk were stretched strings of green, with roses, sweet peas and ferns. Immense palm branches stretched from floor to ceiling, and banks of flowers sut- rounded the pulpit. The musical portion of the service was under the direction of Rev. D. Davis, cantor. Mrs. H. J. Stewart officiated at the organ, and was ably assisted by a uartet choir, The hymn, “O Rest in the cord,” was sung by Miss Ella V. Mc- Closkey, and a %nrvest anthem by the choir. " In the psalm taken from the Hal- lel a solo was sung by Mrs. Alvina Heuer ‘Wilson, whose voice was heard to great advantage. The following children received certifi- cates of confirmation: Samuel Levenson, David Breitstein, Albert Samuels, Julia Steveler, Gussie Wolfsohn, David Mon- asch, Selby Badt, J. Zekind, Hazel Leszyn- sky, Ray Flatow. During the exercises Selby Badt read an essay entitled “The Jew.” He said: The moment fast approaches when we shall receive recognition as members of the Jewish community, an ancient brotherhood, a holy order that has survived the onslaughts of time and persecution. To-day it is yet more strong and vigorous, more capable of performing good and noble work. No more feitered by Super- stition, no Jonger chained by the belief that our pure ideals are for us and for us alone. We are disseminating the truths of our re- ligion. New duties devolve upon us now that the careers of our lives open before us. We must continue the teaching here begun, and follow the study of our religion and history, s0 that our extended knowledge may better fit us for the performance of our mission, We: must uplift the name of Jew, and make it & title of respect. We must demon- strate to all the world the beauty of our faith, by evidencing through our lives and actions the breadth and tolerance of our creed. We must endeavor to bring about good feeling between man and man, creed and creed, people and people. Unity, our watch- word, mnst be deeply impressed upon our hearts and minds, and " its echo must continu- allyresound in our ears. We must learn to re- ceive all men as brothers and to refuse to recognize any distinction.! Manfully, heroic- ally, must we strive 1o convince the world that the Jew isa man of intelligence possess- ing the desire and the power to rise. Not pas- sive listeners but active workers muss we become if we understand the teachings of our faith. Not mere professions but actnal _perrormance is the duty of the Jew. Even as our fathers sacrificed their worldly comfort and possessions to spread the knowledge of God and his laws so must we ever labor to bring about that glad- some time when all the earth shall acknowl- edge one God. Our fathers were ever loyal to the country of their adoption and worked with all their might for the welfare of that land which sheltercd them and afforded them asy- lum when persecution drove them forth. We, the native sons of & glorious republic that grants freedom to all alike, must early become imbued with the sentiment of loyalty. We must be patriotic, work for the good of our country, obey its laws and become worthy and useful citizens, All this our religion com- mands us, and with deep reverence let us pray God bless our country. A special service was held at the Temple Betn Israel. As at the other synagogues many floral decorations were noticeable in and around the building. Flowering plants were distributed over the pulpit platform, wreaths, bouquets and garlands serving to decorate the other parts of the temple. . Professor H. J. Stewart was in charge of the musical part of the exercises. any appropriate hymns and classical composi- tions were rendered by a competent choir under his_direction. The choir was com- osed of Mrs. Brune and Miss Millicent lynn, sopranos; Misses Miriam Cooney and Maude Cbapspelle, contraltos; Richard Valerga, tenor; S. Homer Henley, bass.

The Jews of Oakland observed the anni- versary of the Pentecost with the usual impressive services. Eight young Hebrews passed through the confirmation at the synagogue of the First Hebrew Congrega- tion with credit to themselves and Rabbi M. Friedlander, who acted as their mentor. They were: Eva Magnes, Rose Sampson Isaac Wolfe, Herbert Samuels, Samuel Jacobs, Sigmund_Scharman, Gussie Samp- son and Mannie Cohen. The ceremonies began at 10 o’clock yes- terday morning when the candidates sang, “We Pray Thee, Father,” which was taken up and repeated by the choir. Miss Eva agnes then offered the opening prayer, followed by a prayer before the ark by 8. Scharman. Gussie Sampson delivered an address on “Exaltation before the law.’ after which each of the six male candi- dates read a portion of the Pentateuch in Hebrew. Boss The sermon which the rabbi delivered dealt mainly with the significance of Pen- tecost, which he said was recognized by the entire civilized world, irrespective of race or creed: The anniversary of the re- ception by Moses of the Commandments at the close of his vi;fiilon qum_Smm marked an epoch in the world’s history which was recognized by all, and particu- larly by the Jew. £ These commandments had established a standard for the world’s monht}. the im- portance of which was felt by Jews and Christians alike. , He conjured his hearers to think well on the lessons of the Pentecost and observe the commandments given on that day.

Richard Dixon, a pressman, living at 392734 Mission street, was arrested on Mon- day on complaint of his wife for threaten- ing to kill her. He was released on Tues- day on §500 bonds. Yeaterday morning Mrs. Dixon appeared in Juage Joachimsen’s court with her face badly bruised and looking the picture of misery. She was accompanied by her three children, one a baby inarms. She told the court that on Tuesc{ny night when her hus- band returned home aiter being released on bonds he gave her a most unmerciful beating and nearly choked her to death. She was afraid he would kill her. The Judge was indignant. He told her he would see that she was protected from her husband’s brutality and ordered a bench warrant issued for his arrest. ——————————— Of all the reigning sovereigns of the earth the Czar of Russia possesses the greatest number of titles, DURRANT WA ARRAIGNED, He Says He Is Not Guilty of the Murder of the Two Girls. July 22 Is Fixed for the Trial-A Change of Venue May Be Asked. “William Henry Theodore Durrant,” called out Judge Murphy on opening court yesterday morning. A small, boyish-looking young man with cropped hair and shaven face rose and { stood motionless as the informations charging him with the murder of Blanche | Lamont and Minnie Williams were read. The charge was followed by the question: “To this information what is your plea?” “Not guilty,” replied Durrant to each in a cool, distinct voice. Thé sensational Baptist church murder case had reached the Superior Court, and -Durrant had been brought in.to be ar- raigned for the two crimes. An immense crowd had surged outside the courtroom, which was guarded by police. The prisoner was represented by Attorpeys Dickinson and Deuprey, while .District Attorney Barnes agpeared for the people. After the plea had been entered Durrant sat down, and his attorneys reserved the right to withdraw the plea within five days if they so desired. Deuprey stated that they did not anticipate doing so. District Attorney Barnes then suggested July 22 next as the date for trial, provid- ing the other side did not object. ““We consent,” said General Dickinson, “reserving our right to move for a change of venue at that time, if we see fit.” Judge Murphy said thata motion for a change of venue would be groper at an; time, even after the trial had commenced, but_he would suggest, in order to ex- pedite matters, that such a motion be made before the day set for trial. He de- sired to be jealous of all rights of the Pprisoner. “It is understood, then, gentlemen,” concluded his Honor, “that these cases are set for Monday, July 22, at 10 o’clock.” The District Attorney gave notice that the people would try the Blanche La- mont case first, and the attorneys for the rrisoner having remarked that it was per- ectly immaterial to them which case was first tried, the proceedings ended. Dur- rant picked up his brown Alpine hat and followed a Deputy Sheriff into the Judge’s chambers, whence he was removed to the County Jail in a buggy. : A great crowd of people gathered around the County Jail yesterday, in the .expecta- tion of seeing Durrant taken from the jail to the courtroom. He came out of the prison in company with Chief Jailer Sat- tler, but the crowd did not recognize him, | on account of his changed afipenrnnce. The two walked to a_car of the Union- street line, rode to Hyde street, where they transferred to the car that conveyed them to O'Farrell and Jones streets; from there they walked to the City Hall. On the way they did not attractany attention. THE THIRD'S NEW COLONEL. Rumor Has It That Sullivan, Late of the First, Will Succeed Barry. If the present rum or regarding the suc- cessor of Colonel Thomas F. Barry as commander of the Third Regiment should prove correct the new colonel of the Third will be W. P. Sullivan Jr., colonel of the First. For some time Colonel Sullivan’s name has been intimately connected with the glace, and at first the idea was treated as a gment of some enthusiastic officer’s imagination; but the persistency with which it has been circulated, in the ranks and among the officers of both the First and Third regiments, serious consideration scoffed at first. Itis not expected that any such thing will hapgcn, but it was not expected that Colonel Sullivan would be defeated in the race for the commund of his own regiment until the votes were counted, and it may be the same with the present report. Asa rule, however, the officers of the Third Regiment are against the election of an officer who could not be elected elsewhere. The Third Regiment just at present is in need of recruits, and the scheme of electing Colonel Sullivan to succeed Colonel Barry is generally assigned to a desire on the part of the officers of the Third Regiment to build up their companies with the men whom they know would leave the First and follow their old colonel to the Third. ‘While in command of the First Colonel Sullivan was extremely popular with the majority of the men in the companies, | has brought it by many who and there is no doubt that in case he | should be put in command of the Third a great many men would follow him into the Jjunior regiment. Colonel Barry is opposed to any such method of building up the regiment, how- ever, and a]!hongi 1t will done any way after he is retired should the officers of the regiment so desire, still his wishes in the matter cannot but have some effect upon those who served under him. He is not opposed to Sullivan’s election to suc- ceed himself, although he thinks the rumor a false one, and even if ttie im- possible to put into effect; but he does object to taking advantage of the dissen- sions in another regiment to recruit his own. “Such a course would be the ruination of the Guard,” he said yesterday, ‘‘for when- ever there is a change of commander, if the dissatisfied faction should apply to be transferred to another command, there would be nothing but trouble and con- fusion in theranks. I have told my officers that I am opposed to accepting transferred men, particularly from the First.
