4 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, JUNE 3, 1895. e e g e e L DENVER'S EXPOSITION The Success of the Fair of 1896 Now Seems Assured. PROGRESS OF THE WEST. Mining and Industrial Re- sources and Developments Will Be Shown. BUILDINGS TO BE PERMANENT. It Is the Intentlon of the Managers to Hold an Exposition Each Year. DENVER, Coro., June 2.—The mana- gers of the proposed mining and industrial exposition have issued a statement to the public setting forth what has already been accomplished and what it is provosed to do. They sav: The results to date of the canvass for subscriptions justify the statement that ample financial aid will be obtained, and the selection of the site ends the important preliminary work of the committee and warrants the announcement that the suc- cess of the exposition is now practically assured. Active work will begin at once. Since the National Mining and Indus- trial Exposition, held in Denver in 1882, which proved a great factor in the subse- quent development of Colorado and Den- ver, there has been no exposition of the re- sources and industrial progress of the trans- Mississippi country. Since that time the country west of the Mississippi has increased in population 50 percent; it has added five new States to the Union; it has built 25,000 additional miles of railroad and has yielded to the world untold millions in the products of the mines, the farm, the fields and the fac- tories. This great region is the producing belt of the world. It constitutes two- thirds of the area of the United States, and it is the home of 17,000,000 of the Nation’s most progressive people. Among the reasons urged for holding an exposition at this time are: First—To commemorate the close of the centennial of the purchase of the territory of Louisiana. Second—To celebrate the progress of the trans-Mississippi country in its mining, agricultural, educational, manufacturing, historical and ind=strial advancement in all their departments. Third—To celebrate Colorado’s twentieth anniversary as a State. The executive committee created by the board of managers co: ts of D. R. C. Brown, J. L. Brush, W. H. Bush, W.N. Byers, John F. Campion, W. §. Chesman, J. Choate, Croker, Rodney Curtis, J. B. Grant, J. Hagerman, N. P. Hill, Irving Howbert, E. T. Jeffery, A. W. Me- Intyre, M. J. McNamara, D. H. Moffatt, C. 8. Morey. M. D. Thatcher, H. R. Wol- cott. The board of managers number 1259 members, and is permanently organized with the following officers: President, J. B. Grant; first vice-president, Mrs. J. L. Routt; vice-presidents, W. 8. Stratton, H. A. W. Tabor, F. W. Crocker, George Tritch, John F. Campion and Mrs. James H. Platt; secretary, Frank E. Hartman. One hundred and twenty acres in the city park and thirty acres of State school lands adjoining have been selected as the site for the exposition. The site is but twelve minutes’ ride from the heart of the city, and the streetcar lines leading to it can deliver 25000 passengers per hour. ‘The exposition will be thoroughly repre- sentative of the great interests, progress and development of the twenty-four States | and Territories west of the Mississippi River. The exposition will be opened July 1,1896, and closed on November 1, 1806. Buitable buildings will be provided for exhibits of departments aa follows: Mines and mining, mechanical arts, manufac- tures, agricultural, livestock, liberal arts, archeology and ethnology and fine arts, Many States and counties will prepare collective exhibits which will be installed in separate buildings erected by them re- spectively. Many buildings in which special exhibits will be shown will be erected by the exhibitors. Foreign villages will also be installed wherein the people of various countries will carry on the trades and amusements of their daily life in their own unique and primitive ways. After 1896 it is the intention to hold an exposition each year and to maintain the buildings and their contents for a perma- nent exhibition. RANSOM MAY BE NAMED, North Carolinans Think He Will Be Given the Port- folio of State. Sudden Return of the Minister From Mexico Furnishes Grounds for the Bellef. — . WASHINGTON, D. C., June 2.—The North Carolina people entertain a hope ihat President Cleveland will make ex- Senator Ransom (now Minister to Mexico) Becretary of State. Their reason for this belief is that Mr. Ransom is on his way bome from the City of Mexico. The CaLL correspondent was told at Charlotte, N. C., yesterday that letters recently received from Mr. Ransom, and written before Mr, Gresham’s death, did not indicate his in- tention of returning soon, and that the condition of his health at that time was not of a character to make his return im- perative or even advisable. The intimate friends of Ransom in North Carolina firmly believe that he is going to be promoted to a Cabinet position, CEL Lo KILLED HER HUSBAND. The Murderess Claims She Didn’t Know the Gun Was Loaded. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 2.—A Times special from Fairfax Courthouse (Va.) re- ports the murder there to-day of John R. Harmon, aged 50 years, by his wife, Mary, eight years younger. The murdered man is described as a worthless fellow who has been living apart from his wife for some time. To-day he called at the house, and talking through a window asked her to again live with him, but she refused. He attempted to get in the house through the window, when she picked up a gun and fired. Mrs. Harmon asserts she did not know the gun was loaded and took it up only for the purpose of frightening him off. She surrendered herself and was locked up. ——- WAR OF THE STOCEKMEN. Coloraao Catile-Growers Will Keep Sheep From the Ranges. DENVER, Coro., June 2.—The cattle- growers of Eagle, Routt and Garfield counties, in Northwestern Colorado, ata joint meeting, have adopted resolutions positively forbidding the sheep-owners from driving through the country. The cattlemen are well organized and deter- mined and there will be serious trouble if Jack Edwards of Wyoming persists in his purpose of driving his flock of 40,000 sheep south to the Rio Grande Railway instead of north to the Union Pacific. B An Oklahoma Bank Fails. OKLAHOMA, O. T., June 2—The Okla- homa National Bank went into insolvency yesterday afternoon and transferred all its business to the First National Bank. This bank failed in 1893, finally reopening again, but the institution could not regain its lost prestige and the confidence of the people. e McKinley Departs From New York. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 2.—Governor McKinley left the city at 6 o'clock this evening, accompanied by his wife, They will go direct to Canton. EMILY FTHRLLL DIE, An Earnest Worker in the Cause of Woman for Thirty Years. Her Services Fully Acknowledged by a Gift From the Queen of England. LONDON, June 3.—The Times an- nounces the death of Emily Faithfull. Miss Faithfull was born in 1835. She was presented at the English court in her twenty-first year. Becoming interested in the condition of women she collected a band of female compositors and, in 1860, founded a typographical establishment in which only women were employed as com- positors, and for which she obfained the approval of Queen Victoria, who appointed Miss Faithfull printer and publisher in ordinary to her Majesty. In May, 1863, Miss Faithfull started a monthly publication called the Victoria Magazine, in which for eighteen years the claims of women to remunerative employ- ment were earnestly set forth. In 1868 she published a novel, entitled “Change Upon Change.”” She achieved a marked snccess as a lecturer. In 1872-73 Miss Faithfull visited the United States. After a third tour in America in 1882-83 she published a book entitled “Three Visits to America,” con- taining vivid descriptions of the various feminine industries, and life as she found it among the Mormons in Salt Lake City. In commemoration of thirty years dedi- cated to her sex, Miss Faithfull received in 1889 an engraving of her Majesty, which was sent her by the Queen, bearing an inscription in her own handwriting and followed by a civil service pension. ARMS FOR NICARAGUA A Rich Prize Which British Warships Failed to Capture. The Overthrow of the Zelaya Gov- ernment Was One of England’s Projects. MANAGUA, N1cArRAGUA, May 18.—1If the British had occupied Corinto a little longer than they did they would have been able to capture a British steamer, the Debay, which arrived there two days ago loaded with a full supply of modern, im- proved field artillery, rifles and ammuni- tion for about 5000 officers and soldiers of the Nicaraguan army, and Admiral Stephenson would thus have been able to collect the £15,500 claimed by Great Brit- ain as indemnity from Nicaragua without any difficulty. The British warship sailed away on May 15, and this most valuable cargo arrived at Corinto on May 16 under _the British flag, to the great delight of the Nicaraguan authorities, who feared that the supply of war material would fall into the hands of the British. It is considered more than likely that Admiral Stephenson would have seized and detained the Debay until the indem- nity was paid, and there is a great deal of rejoicing here at its escape, for it would have made an admirable substitute for the port and customs duties of Corinto, which the British Admiral was prevented from collecting by the fact that the Nicaraguan Government declared the port closed shortly after it was occupied by the British. Nobody here doubts that had the British Admiral captured this supply of war ma- terial and satisfied Great Britain’s ciaim against Nicaragua by its sale, the act would have so thoroughly humiliated the present Government of Nicaragua as to have caused its overthrow at once bya revolution. It is not doubted that Admiral Stephen- son could have taken possession of the Debay’s cargo, in spite of the fact that the steamer was under the British flag, as the war material was purchased in Germany in 1894 by the present Government of Nicaragua. Then, again, people here in- sist that Great Britain was desirous of ob- taining a ‘‘coaling station” on the island of Corinto, and another coaling station on Corn Island, near the Atlantic entrance of the proposed canal through Nicaragua, and then Great Britain would have been able to control both entrances of the ap- proaches of the canal. It is claimed the intention of Great Britain was to cause the overthrow of the present Government of Nicaragua, and to place in power native Nicaraguans of her own choosing, and there are some promi- nent natives of this country who are very fond of Great Britain. It isclaimed by the irritated here that Admiral Stephen- son and several of his officers when at Corinto on April 25, just before they actu- ally took armed possession of the port and island, publicly declared to many persons, among whom was W. 7. Tisdale, a United Btates citizen, and the agent for the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, that the Monroe doctrine so often_referred to in the United States press and by the people is a myth; that the United States would not and coul not if they desired, enforce it, and it is added that the British officers asserted that the occupation of Corinto was intended to test the question. It should be said in | I conclusion, however, that it has been denied that there was any truth in the story that the British officers made sach statements. - The expost of the coffee crop of 1894 from this country is now so nearly completed that a fair estimate can be made of the ag- Simant ta 10,005,000 penas aga s amoun ,000,000 pounds against about 13,000,000 last year. 3 1 PROSPECTS OF A WAR, Argentine Anxious to Cross Swords With Chile. READY FOR AN ATTACK. A Popular Outbreak Imminent in the South American Republic. ARE PURCHASING ARMAMENT. Every Precaution Taken to Be in Readiness for the Threatened Hostilities. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 2.—Reports from the Argentine Republic show that there is a very active war party which is agitating the prospects of a war with Chile. The Argentine boundary commis- sioners have returned from Chile and re- ctory progress, but the Argen- eeps ap the talk of war, and the report received here adds: “In the present critical state of feeling any such efforts on the part of our press or of our public men are to be sincerely de- plored; some street row in a border town, some petty insult to either of the national flags, and we would see the experience of a quarter of a century ago repeated.” The Argentine Government seems to re- gard hostilities as possible, and is taking every precaution. The national guard is arming and drilling and officers have been dispatched to Europe to pur- chase armaments. A loan of §3.000,000 is being considered to meet possible war ex- penditures. A report from Rosa Nosta says thata popular outbreak is imminent, so much so that the Government has stationed the monitor El Plata in the harbor ready for action and the strategic points of the town are nightly occupied by the forces. N THE HADBALL COATS J. Jones and J. Harlow Each Defeat Two Well-Known Amateurs. A Match Arranged Between Jones and Harlow and M. J. Kilgal- lon of Denver. Notwithstanding the counter attractions vesterday the handball courts were well patronized and several exciting and closely contested games were played. The principal attraction at the San Fran- cisco court was the match between J. Jones, the Australian champion, and J. Lawless and George Hutchinson, two clever amateurs. The two latter played well and kept Jones hustling, but the champion, as usual, came in at the death and won the final game. J. Harlow, the coast champion, also played a match against two amateurs, J. Kearney and J. Hausman, and won three straight games after tossing in splendid style. M. J. Kilgailon of Denver was an inter- ested spectator of these two matches. It was the first time since his visit here that Le had seen either Jones or Harlow play and after the afternoon’ssport was finished a match was arranged for $100 a side be- tween Jones and Harlow and Kilgallon. It will be the best three out of five games and will be played at the San Francisco court on Sunday afternoon, June 16. It will be one of the most interesting and important events of the kind that has taken place on this coast. The game of the day at the Occidental court was between T. F. Bonnet and John Purcell and William Kelly, “the hurri- cane,” and Ed Maloney. Each side won two games and the final was won by Bon- net and Purcell by only one ace. The at- traction at this court on Wednesday night will be a match between Dennis Daly, champion of Oakland, and M. J. Kilgallon, champion of Denver, and T. F. Bonnet and Thomas Fennessy, an old-time player. Among the games played at the Union court was one between John Riordan and Terry McManus, the heavy weight cham- pion, and William Kelly and James Nel- son, the two former winning after an ex- citing struggle. Another interesting game was between M. J. Kilgallon andJ. Mc- Evilly and R. Lenihan and J. Felson. Kil- gallon’s tossing was too much for his op- onents and he and his partner won easily. Next Sunday Kilgallon and McEyvilly will pla{ J. Feeney and Mike Dilion, which will be a game well worth seeing. Handball-players on the coast will bein- terested to know that Lawlor and Fitzger- ald will soon meet to play for the world’s championship. Mr. Armstrong of this City has received a letter from Lawlgr, in which he says: I have accepted the following term: offered by Mr. Fitzgerald: Half the gate receipts al- lowed for my expenses, the other half to go to the winner or be equally divided, as may be agrecd upon later. will start for Ireland about July 1. I will be accompanied by my wife and family, and also a few friends who desire to see the match played. I have not played ball for some time, consequently I am very much out of form. I will commence hard training as soon as I get settled there. After the match is played the winner will be the champion of the world. Barney McQuade will train Lawlor. Following were the games played at the different courts yesterday : San Francisco court—Jean Vogelsang and W. Darrious against Pat Barret and J. Morris; each side won a rub. J. Cellins defeated J.

Three jolly tars just from sea know where the Receiving Hospital is and how it feels to have needles and thread pulled through their flesh. Jerry Roach was one of the crew of the ship Chrysomene, from Amsterdam. Jerry got ashore yesterday JAPANESE METHODISTS, They Dedicate Their First Temple of Worship in America. and proceeded to have a good time. He (A SKETCH OF THE EDIFICE. entered a saloon on Broadway, near Bat- tery street, for some of the choice liquids to be obtained in that neighborhood. He had indulged previously, hence his ap- pearance on the sidewalk in a_battered condition was no surprise to the neigh- bors. It was to two of his shipmates, Peter Vanderkly and R. Hartman, who havppened along’as Jerry landed. The prostrate man informed his mates that he had been whipped and proposed to clean out the place. g:ilohlike the two consented and the trio entered the saloon. Jerry went to the hospital with a_con- tused face, a black eye and a lacerated ear. Vanderkly and Hartman went with him in the patrol wagon, the former to have a split ip repaired and a few incidental cuts sewed up, while the latter wanted his scalp fastened on. Dr. Redding ac- commodated the trio and they departed to look for more fun — e SUNDAY LAW IN CAKLAND. The Anti-Saloon Council Holds a Monster Demon-~ stration. Mills Tabernacle Thronged With People Who Scored the City Fathers. Nearly every church in Oakland was closed last evening to give the membersa chance to attend the mass-meeting called by the Council for the Suppression of the Saloon to protest against the attitude of the City COouncil toward the ordinance closing the liquor-houses on Sunday. Three thousand people packed Mills Tab- ernacle, where the meeting was held, and the speakers who appeared were cheered to the echo. Rev. William Rader, assistant pastor of the First Congregational Church and presi- dent of the Oakland Council for the Sup- pression of the Saloon, presided. Said he: I believe that every church in the central Fan of Oakland is represented to-night,and I eel very good to see such a magnificent pres- ence of representative citizens to give expres- sion to their disapproval of the Sunday saloons. What is the matter with the Council? Last week seven brave men as the Committee ot the Whole recommended that the amendment be sassed. The refusal of the Council to do its uty is due to two men. They voted in fayor of the referendum. The Mayor came to see me aiter the action of the committee. Mayor Davie sees that is not policy for him to veto that measure. If he falls off the jence the vetd will fall with him. Let us destroy the force in the Council. l}iev. Mr. Rice was then introduced. said: In the name of God and for the brotherhood of man I congratulate you upon the large and enthusiastic crowd which throngs the taber- nacle to-night. They are not here because of your request, but they are here because they were swept here. The move to close the saloons is a move for liberty. Itisone of three or four mighty movements that are attracting the at- tention of the Nation to-dey. All America is with us. Brigadier Keppel of the Salvation Army said: “We have been trying to save the products of the saloons. "I would like not only the city to be free from them but also the whole State.” £ Dr. Hobart of the First Baptist Church said: I would like to have the saloons closed every day in the week, but by beginning with Sun- He dar ‘we get part of aloaf, and after a while we will get all the rest. But Sunday is the essen- tial day,as it is the day upon which the laborer spends his week’s earnings. We must brace up the Councilmen who have been elected on the platform they have. Let the battle go on. Let the people stand solidly, notonly in & mass-meeting, not only in oné day in the year, but 365 days in the year. The €ns!0r of the First Unitarian Church, Rev. Wendte, delivered an address which was enthusiastically received. He argued that the Sunday closing of the saloons would not only be of interest to the church, but also to the interest of business. He said that there was no re- ligion connected with the Oakland Council for the Su]ppresslou of the Saloons. Dr. Coyle, the last speaker of the even- ing, was greeted with cheers, which lasted several minutes, He said: I speak to & great multitude of soldiers of Jesus Christ. The war is still on anditisa terrible one. It requires as much courage, as much heroism as any war. We want no blank cartridges. Nothing™ is moreJdifficult to deal with than liquor. By everything high and holy we indict the saloon as the supreme curse of the race. What we need in our City Council are men who will Jegislate up, not down; men who will legislate for righteousness, not rum ; men will legislate for consciousness, not corruption. Rev. Mr. Rader now presented the fol- lowing resolution for the consideration of those present. It was carried by a unani- mous standing vote. Resolved, That it is the sense of this meeting that the city of Oakland close the saloons in accordance with the provisions of the ordi- nance now in the hands of the Judiciary Com- mittee, and we hereby call upon the members of the Council, who were elected upon a plat- form which declared the saloon evil intoler- able, to faithfully represent their constituency in this contest. After the singing of “America” by the audience the benediction was announced. - Vaqueros Have a Day. A merry time the vacqueros of Butcher- town had yesterday afternoon at J. W. Wilson’s, on the San Bruno road. They are in their glory when astride their broncos, lariat in hand, and it was their day for recreation and fun, of which they had plenty. There were horseraces, lassoing contests, feats in horsemanship and everything with a saddle pony which conld make a cowboy yell with wild delight. When Frank Roges got tired of picking up small objects and even nickels from the ground while his horse was on a dead run Tapideros Stewart and Peter Wilson were lassoing each other’s steeds to their hearts’ content. To jump off and back into the saddle during a fast gallop was just a little relaxa- tion for the:agboys with the sombreros and buckskins. Rojas and his sorrel gelding Top seemed to understand each other pretty well in this pastime. The event of the day was the bronco bucking-match. Tapideros Btewart wasin that on the hurricane-deck of Hallie B. Davidson’s little dark-brown horse Chris Evans, Billy Forb maintained equilibrium on the unstable Dynamite, well named,and Hallie Parson’s found the mule Henry Clay hotter than any cunning little mustang. Stewart and Forb divided the purse. A quarter of a mile running race between Quien Sabe, ridden by Joseph Smith, and Flying Bird, with Jimmy Barton in the saddle, proved an victory for the bay horse with the Spanish name. _ Oharles Larios matched his own sinewy limbs for speed against those of Ed 0’Day’s horse Jinks for a fifty-yard run with a turn. The first effort was a tie, but in the run-oif Larios triumphed. Mr. O’'Day’s horse, however, was the winner of iwo races against anythin'; with four feet. _Harry Crozen’s brown horse, Muneppn, distinguished himself, as did also Harry Brookman’s Pumpkins, which is the pet of Butchertown, Mr. Stewart’s buckskin Tapideros and Joe Brown’s Skimmerhorn Jack were also heroes of the day. There was a quarter-mile dash between Charley Wilson's Snow Blossom, Jim Mec- Cann’s Nellie 8 and Frank Lamont’s Pearl, which was won by Snow Blossom, with Pearl a hot second. James R« was starter and William Smith, James Flynn and Hallie Davidson the judges. Y Animated Services of Song and Speech in English and Japanese. An event that will be noted throughout the civilized world was the dedication in 8an Francisco yesterday of the first Meth- odist Japanese church edifice in the United States. Several church organizations exist and some very effective evangelical work hasbeen done by the Presbyterians, Ad- ventists and Methodists in this country, yet no temple of worship was erected for | the Japanese until the Methodists took hold of the work with their usual vigor and spirit. The result is a beautiful house of worship on the south side of Pine street, between Hyde and Larkin. The ground, building and equipment of the church cost, according to the report of the treasurer, $20,900. To pay off the en- tire debt outstanding the sum of $1300 must be raised, and Dr. M. C. Harris, presiding elder, announced that he intended to take a Bible in one hand and a subscription paper in the other and go to every Ameri- can citizen of his acquaintance and extend or the great cathedral service of swinging censors. *‘We are inclined to be prejudiced against forms of worship,” said the pastor. *“We are inclined to regard those who do not agree with us as monsters. too much frejndiced against our Catholic people. am sure that multitudes of Catholic men and women are devout Chris- tians. I do not refer to the hierarchy, and Ido not think we should abate one iota of our zeal to maintain the common schools.” In closing Dr. Dille related a beautiful story of the flowers—the rose, lily, violet and snow plant—each claiming to be the flower of God. The snow plant of flaming red was told by the other flowers: “You are outside the fence. You are only a Sal- vation Army flower with a red jersey.” The south wind blew in and stopped the discussion by reminding the disputants that the flower of God was any flower whose frdgrance bestowed blessings on mankind. Every child that gives bless- ings to humanity is a child of God. The Rev. Dr. Dille also quoted Emerson, to the delight of his Japanese hearers. Rev. Dr. Case came next in the order of speechmaking. He spoke of the precious influence which delights all who come in contact with missionary work. Primi- tive methods awaken in me enthusiasm. I think of the possibility of the church if we can get back to apostolic work. The church is getting too much mixed up in the af- fairs of the world. If we could get disen- tangled from the vanities, follies and frivolities of the world we would have the ower to bring about the great revival Br. Case said to the Japanese present: “I expect that you shall; see the glory of God wrought here as you never saw it before, and I look for a revival in Japan which may literally signify thata ‘nation shall be born to God in a day.’ " Rev. K. Ishizaka, pastor of the Portland (Or.) church, readfin English an historic sketch of Japanese mission work. The I think we are closing paragraph of the report reads: “This day we Japanese Christians promise God with all our hearts that this temple shall be used for the salvation of souls.” THE FIRST JAPANESE METHGDIST CHURCH IN AMERICA.

Dr. Hirst asked him which hand he | intended to carry the subseription in and the elder replied, “The right hand.” The auditorium of the temple is on the second floor. It will accommodate 400 people. Light is snp¥lied by six chande- liers and_altar jets. The residenceof the pastor, the dormitory and printing office are in the rear of the building on the lot | belonging to the congregation. Thechurch building alone cost $7000. The pastor of the church, Rev. 8. Doi, was trained in a Japanese college. Hecame to this State and was admitted to the Cali- fornia M. E. Conference, being now an or- dained minister. In the promotion of the mission work among the Japanese in Cali- fornia Rev. Dr. Harris is regarded as one of the ablest and most successful leaders. All the visiting clergymen yesterday gave testi- mony to his zeal and perseverance in the Work. The membership of the First Japanese Methodist Chumg numbers 360, and twenty-three of the congregation are women. The average attendance is about 125. Many of the members are so em- ployed and situated that they cannot at- tend service regularly. In recognition of the dedicatory services esterday the church was well attended. e decorations at the altar were chiefly floral and quite appropriate. The service began with an organ prelude by a Japanese organist. Then the audi- ence sang the first and last stanzas of “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name.” Rev. Dr. Chase prayed for a great revival throughout America, Japan, China and India, until the kingdom of Christ should be recognized by all the world. A chapter of the Bible was read in Eng- lish by Rev. K. Ishizaka, pastor of the Portland church. Rev. Dr. Hirst, pastor of the Simpson Memorial Churcil, being introduced, ex- pressed pleasure in attending the dedica- tion of thetemple. He thoughtthechurch The Pastor of the Japanese M. E.

No man can rea the history of the world inmlligently un- less he perceives in it the methods of God. In the line of his splendid promises and Erovidences for the salvation of the people e may swing the terrible scimeter of war in Javan and China. Rev. Dr. Diile, pastor of the Central M.E, Church, was the next speaker. He ob- served that the instinct of religious worship was a longing of the human soul.

An all-day celebration of the first anni- versary of the Mission of the Good Samari- tan took place yesterday at the Church Mission’s House, corner of Second and Folsom streets. Rev. W. L Kip Jr. officiated at the day gervice and Bishop Nichols spoke in the evening. The Bishop sought to explainto his hearers the simple manner of compre- hending the personality of the Holy Ghost %eading up to the conclusion that the anniversacy celebration in which they were engaged represented the influence of | the holy spirit. The mission, which is conducted under the direction of the Episcopal Church, has accomplished much good during the past year, Clothing, provisions and medicines ave been distributed to the needy and many of the children of the neighborhood have found shelter and instruction at the mission’s house. 8o much interest has been stimulated in the work that seventy- five families are represented in the attend= ance of meetings. The boys holding tickets entitling them to the privileges of the church mission’s house number 165. They have been se- lected from 600 in that quarter of the City. Their deportment in the library, reading- rooms and gymnasium is highly creditable. The mission work occasionally arouses the antagonism of the hoodiums in that neighborhood, and they express their dis- pleasure by throwing rocks and iron mis- siles through the windows. The superin- tendent has caused several arrests to be made, and did receive assurance in Judge Cnm{tbell’s court that a police officer should attend every meeting. Lastnight a policeman on duty in the neighborhood was asked to remain but declined to do so, giving as his reason for declining that he had no orders from his sergeant to remain.
