At the corner of Fifth and Bryant, where the water was deepest on the site of the fire, and where the charred boards floated in the pond, an enterprising merchant had pasted up a sign to the effect that his office was in the air somewhere over this blackened deep. This gave some color to the vivid crimson announcement of a firm of sign-painters, posted conspicuously adjacent, that they painted signs anywhere. The bill poster was also early on the scene and in flaming letters on improvised bill stands all around the waste showed | his activity in the announcement that the Dailey company would tender a benefit for the homeless and destitute at_the Alcazar Theater on the evening of July 3. Over on Fifth street, near Bryant, where Dumontel’s stoneyard had flourished be- fore the fire, tombstones and monuments, calcined bg the flames, leaned and tottered over the blackened waste like so mani whitened, feeble specters of the life an Seated on a lackened oil can on one of these, a small boy of 12 put in the afternoon, surrounded by an admiring throng, making a sketch of the walls of St. Rose’s Church.

To-day, and for the Sundays succeeding, until the new church structure is com- pleted, the parishoners of St. Rose’s Church will worship at St. Brendan’s, Fremont and Harrison streets. The masses will be celebrated at 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10:30 o’clock. On week days, at 7, 8 and 9 o’clock. But little will be done toward clearin up the chaos left by the fire until the mid- dle of the week, although several parties have already moved temporary offices onto the ground. The Spring Valley Water Company had a force of men at work yes- terday digging up the streets, cutting off the water and taking out the meters, not to be used again until the now scene of desolation is once more a hive of substan- tial homes. To-day it is supposed evervbody in the City who has not visited the scene will take occasion to do so, and, in anticipation of just such an emergency, Chief Crowle; has seen to it that enough policemen wi be on the ground to keep things gently moving. THE PRIEST AS AN ALMONER Father Nugent’s Graphic Descrip- tion of His Experiences With the Destlitute Ones. Perhaps nine out of every ten persons whose homes were destroyed by the fire were members of the Catholic parish of St. Rose, and as such the priest of the parish, Rev. D. F. Nugent, is more nearly in touch with their sufferings and destitution than any one else. During the night of the fire, and every day since, he has gone among his destitute parishioners to discover and relieve their wants. Yesterday Father Nugent gave a graphic spired, giving words of encourage- ment and, what was more to the pur- pose, good shining dollars to help them tide overthe pinching days. Father Nugent of St. Rose's parish was one of the most noticeable and most ubiquitcus figures on the scene. Here, there, everywhere at once, working like a beaver, there was solicitude for the sufferers in his kindly heart, the smile of hope on his cheeks. And the reverend father vaid out good hard coin of the realm where it would do the most good. He had his best eye out for the wolf of want at the door of press- ing necessity, and at his approach the ling_creature avaunted like a guilty spirit. Many a poor widow, many an unfortunate man met the reverend father and ere they had finished their tales of woe were furnished with the wherewithal to bolster hope.and to defy hunger and the elements. Many a goiden $5 and $10 piece found its way to a deserying palm, and many a family is thp{ this morning that was desolate and forlorn yesterday morning. Aithough there was hunger and home- lessness for some to contend with, the elements were kindly. The sun shone warmly down on_the scene of wreck and ruin and the air blew up in gentle zephyrs from the bay. Even the most severely afflicted by the visitation of Thursday night felt” the genial influence of the weather, and, while bewailing their hard future, could not but feel new energy springing unto their souls from the balmi- ness about them. For the crowds of the curious the day was all that could be desired. They fairly reveled, if crowds can revel in ruins, in their surroundings, and there was not a move made on the grounds, not a monu- ment left to 2 mood of the fire that did not come under their notice, All over the fire-swept tract workmen 'were busy saving this and that worth sav- ing from the ruins. Most of it was in the shape of twisted and warped machinery and bits of old iron, and hundreds of ‘wagons- bore the treasure trove from the scene. The click of the hammer and the buzz of the saw were heard in those por- tions of the devastated district where the provident were already fencing in their premises from the general ruin. Tke busy sign-painte; d the enter- prising advertiser were m the field, and in numerous places on the blackened acres cateby announcements in the reddest Making Use of a Relic. description of the terrible destitution he encountered during his investigations: “The fire,” he said, “not only destroyed the church buildings but laid waste the homes and little fortunes of hundreds of my parishioners. “The full extent of the misfortune caused by the fire may never become known. The houses burned can hardly be identified and so many persons lived in a single tenement that their whereabouts is equally difficult to discover. ““In one house on Brannan street five families lived and there were xproba.bl; twenty-five or thirty personsinall. Ldon’t want to give their names, for they are re- spectable, worthy people who would not willingly court notone? for any assist- ance they might get. Yet they did not save a thing. They scarcely have shoes to wear and their sufferings ‘have been ter- rible. Some of the unfortunates are bein, tel:niorarily cared for by good-heamg neighbors. It is a shame that thieves took such cruel advantage of the fire as to steal the furniture and other effects of the home- less ones. Thievery was openly carried on, and during my rounds through the parish it has been no uncommon thing for me to have some poor widow tell me’ that other little belongings which were not burned were stolen. “Many of the husbandsof the families burned out worked in the millsand fac- tories destroyed by the fire, and until the mills are rebuilt these people will have a terrible struggle to live. “‘In other cases the heads of families have not worked fora long time or were sick, and now, of course, their destitution is worse than ever.” Father Nugent is doing all he in- dividually can to relieve the necessities of the homeless ones irrespective of their creed or country, and for this purpose he is dlstnbuti_ng to worthy persons sums of money received from various sources. e AID FROM THE POLICE. Chlef Crowley JAsks for Contribu- tlons to the Rellef Fund. Chief Crowley yesterday sent a copy of the following communication to each of the captains of police: Owing to the great distress and destitution of the people who lost their all at the late fire I thinkit prudent for the Police Department to contribute their mite for the relief of those un- fortunate people. It must gc borne in mind that those people indirectly, if not directly, were compelled to contribute toward the support of our local government. Iam aware that the prospects of recelving our pay for the next three or four months are not t0o encouraging. We are about 480 strong, rank and file, therefore a small amount con- tributed by each will render great assistance in the matter. —_—— The Letters Inclnerated. During last Thursday night’s fire the letter-box on the corner of Fourth and Brannan etreets became red hot. The metal stood the heat all right and the lock is now almost as good as new. With the letters in the box, however, it was differ- ent. They were incinerated and when the carrier came to remove them they crumbled into ashes. Those who mailed letters in that particular box can now rest assured that nota trace of them remains. _— To Recelve Donations. At the Mission of the Good Samaritan, 249 Second street, donations of money, clothing, provisions and furniture for the homeless through the fire were received and given all fny yesterday. The doors will be open at all hours to-d NEW FRENCH HOSPITAL A Brilllant Gathering Guests at the Informal Opening. of Physiclans and Laymen Pay Their Tributes to a Great Sanitary Work. The new French Hospital, the most modern, most thoroughly and beautifully equipped of any similar institution in the world, was thrown open to the inspection of visitors last night, and those who were fortunate enough to have received invita- tions were more than repaid for their visit. Time and time again the progress of the work on the beautiful Maison de Sante has been reported in the CaLy, but the com- pleted whole, furnished with all the mod- ern appliances for health and the appur- tenances to comfort, seen in the full glare of the electric light, so far exceeded all expectation that visitors were simply daz- zled. It was a gem, more than a gem—it wasa wonder. Magnificent in proportions, per- fect in detadl, no similar institution in the known world can compare with it. It is par excellence, and no one wondered last night when Sylvain Weill, president of the French Mutual Benevolent Society, declared that he was the proudest man in San Francisco. He had a right to be. All his friends told him he had a right to be, and the magnificent structure which graces the gllt of ground at Point Lobos and Sixth avenues was his warrant of right. During the afternoon the medical men of the City, under the guidance of Dr. Charles B, Brigham, the chief surgeon, and Dr. Vorsard, the resident physician, made an inspection of the building. There were fully 200 of them, and not one but was enthusiastic in his praise of the ar- rangements. Nota suEgestion was offered of a change that could be made, and unani- mously agreed that the sanitary arrange- ments were perfect. In the evening the directors tendered what they were pleased to call a reception to the press, but which was really a re- ception” to mnnf( other friends of the society. Inthe list of the invited guests were the directors and medical staff of the German Hospital, members of the Board of Bupervisors, the ladies who supervised the booths at the grand fair at the Mechanics’ Payilion, the ladies of the French benevolent societies, not to speak of the presidents of the French societies in the City and the officers of the French military orders. 5 President Sylvain Weill was in his hap- iest mood and fairly gloated with satis- ?Action at the evident appreciation of the many visitors who explored the beautiful interior. Shortly after 10 o’clock all ad- journed to the kitchen, which is almost as autiful as some drawing-rooms, to hear the congratuiatory speeches on the occa- sion. Amid the popping of champagne corks the ladies. and gentlemen present applauded as the Eresiden_t took his stand in front of the third griddle on the bj range and opened the feast of reakon ang the flow of soul. ‘“‘Ladies and gentlemen,” said Mr. Weill, “I hope you do not expect a speech from me. ?am not an orator, and I was some- what afraid that I would be expected to say something. Twill. I will say thatI am the proudest man in San Francisco to be at the head of this grand society. I have to thank the people of San Fran- cisco, the press of San Francisco, for all courtesies shown to our society, and to thank the City authorities for their pres- ence here to-night. I have also to tgank all the benevolent societies of all creeds and nationalities.” Mr. Weill then read letters of regret from Governor Budd, Mayor Sutro and Etienne Durbec, the gmjector of the society, which were received with cheers. He also read a ulefram from his brother Alexander and the latter’s wife, both now in Paris, con- gratulating the society on the opening of the new hospital. This was g;srticulnrly well received, Mr. and Mrs. Weill bein; well remembered for a donation of 310,003 to the hospital for a pavilion, which bears their name. Dr. G. Gross, the rhmné lfivnlchn 5 M.

Schmidt made short addresses, and all drank stand- 1vre'g to the health of the president, Sylvain eill, at the suggestion of Dr. Brigham. The recipient of the toast, in turn, gal- lantly toasted the ladies, to whom most of the success of the society was due, and the recoption was at an end, A SHRINE ON THE ASHES, St. Rose’s Rulned Sanctuary to Be Replaced by a Magnifi- cent Church. WILL COST NEARLY $150,000. A Temple to God Deslgned In Pure Gothic and Built of Pressed Brick, Marble and Granite. 1t will be learned with surprise by thoue sands of Catholics all over the city that a magnificent new church to cost nearly $150,000 will rise from the ashes of old St. Rose’s, a church that in cost and beauty of design, in richness of finish and durability of material will rival the most beautiful sanctuaries of Ean Francisco, and that will be the most notable architectural feature of the south side. The CALL reproduces this morning a sketch of the front of the projected edifice, made by John J. Clark, who has designed many of the finest institutions and churches owned by the Catholic Church 1n California. A few incidents in the history of the new church will properly preface a de- scription of the plans and elevations. More than two years ago Rev. D. F. Nugent, the rector of the ?arish of St. Rose, conceived the idea of building a magnificent new church, and where an- other man woald have hesitated to project | the front of the church will be contributed by three large entrances of equal size, ap- anched by a flight of fifteen granite steps, aving a width of forty-five feet The entrance doors-will be made of the finest hardwood procurable. The roof will be between 80 and 100 feet in height, and will be of California slate. Interiorly the church will be furnished in harmony with the exceeding besuty of the exterior design. The ceiling will have a handsome, fnre Gothic_ molding and will be nearly 100 feet in height. Highly polished hardwood will be ex- clusively used in the interior. The church will have three altars, all located at the mnorth end, and the main altar will be one of the most beautiful in San Francisco. The twenty windows of the church will all be of cathedral glass. Father Nugent’s reasons for keeping his enterprise so closely to himself are made plain by the present discription of the church. He realized that he had a stu- pendous work in hand, and he hesitated to hazard it to the public until assured of its successful termination. His ambition was to present it to his thousands of parishioners as a Christmas gift, of which Qhei could all feel proud. 5 The fire has, of course, disconcerted him, but since it has been ascertained that the walls have not been damaged he feels more hopeful. ork upon the church will be resumed as soon as possible, and the contracts al- ready let will be continued on as if nothing had happened. 3 Father Nugent, with characteristic mod- esty, refuses to take any share of merit for his great work, and yesterday, in reply to a query as to whether the church would be built despite the destructive work of the flames, answered simply, ‘“Yes, with the help of God.” NEWS OF THE CHURCHES, The Interior of Trinity Epis- copal Church to Be Beautified. Sunrise Prayer-Meetings Will Com~ memorate a Successful Con- vention. Trinity Episcopal Church, at the corner of Bush and Gough streets, is one of the most solid and imposing ecelesiastical structures in the City. The interior, how- ever, in spite of the handsome chancel, has always been a little cold and gray. Extensive decorations have just been begun inside of the church, however, which in the course of the next few months will entirely change the interior. The work has progressed considerably upon the little memorial chapel at the northwest corner of the building. The walis of that sanctu- ary have been covered with a cement which is new to California, but familiar to those tourists who have visited the British Museum, as portions of the interior of that edifice are covered with it. The cement is made in imitation of the material used in some of the old buildi ngs in Pompeii. That used in Trinity Church will be tinted a pale greenish gray to cor- respond with the interior of the building and it is expected that it will have all the appearance of the natural stone. The roof of the memorial chapel has THE MAGNIFICENT NEW CHURCH OF ST, ROSE, WHICH WILL RISE FROM THE ASHES OF THE BURNED SANCTUARY. [Drawn from a sketch made by the architect, John J. Clark.] 80 costly an enterprise he determined to raise the necessary money and commence the work. Architect John J. Clark was direrted to prepare Fllm for a pure Gothic church, de- signed after the best continental types of that architecture. The architect proceeded with his work with the greatest secrecy. Father Nugent was resolved not to give a description nor to have a J)Ian of the church published until the day of its dedication, and he faithfully adhered to his resolution. A fear and a half ago the ioundation was laid. The work of %milding the walls commenced and when the great fire of last Thursday n‘ifht swept over Brannan street and reduced Father Nugent’s school and church to ashes, the strong high walls of the new charch alone stood victorious over the devastating flames. What is equally fortunate, the architect says the walls have not been damaged to any extent. As stated, Father Nugent never confided the magnitude of his enterprise to any one, and many persons thought that be- cause of the fire the church would not be erected. The contrary is true. Father Nugent said yesterday that he is deter- mined to proceed with™ the structure, and those who know him best feel confident he wi}il bring his enterprise to a successful end. He had quietly calculated to have the church completed by Christmas. The fire may delay matters somewhat, but it is nevertheless proposed to dedicate _the church as soon after Christmas as possible, - The new church will be the only type of pure Gothic chtirch architecture in the City. Two spires will rise from the west and east side of the building, the spire on the west end being 200 feet in height and the one on the east end 130 feet. The church will have a frontage on Brannan street, between Fourth and Fifth, of 85 feet and a depth of 140 feet. To diverge from a description of the elevation for a moment, it is noteworthy that the foundation upon which the walls now rest is the strongest ever constructed in this City. It is17 geet in depth and is composed of solid concrete resting on a gravel bed. ¢ The materials to be used in the con- struction are pressed brick, granite, marble and artificial stone. The stepping and balustrades will be of g‘x:nlte. and the trimmings of artificial stone. The entire building will have & wainscot- ln* eight feet in height. 'he effectiveness and irapressiveness at been frescoed pale blue in imitation of the sky and it is dotted with stars and a_cres- cent moon. On either side of the altaris a large panel, which will be filled in with frescoing, though the designs are not fully decided upon. Over the altar a handsome stained-glass window will shortly be placed. The chapel is called Memorial because it is reminis- cent of old Trinity Church, the altar, the cross, the seats and even the carpet having all been moved from the building on Post street. It is expected that the chapel will be ready for service on Friday week. The decoration of the larger chapel will then be procceded with, after which the main editice will be given over to the workmen to be decorated in the same manner as the chapels. The changes in the building will include the putting up of a number of handsome memorial windows, as well as other costly gifts to enhance the beauty of Trinity Church. Rev. Dr. Hirst of the Simpson Memorial Church is in demand in the East, In addi- tion toa call to the Centenary M. E. Church of Chicago, he has also received a call from the First M. E. Church of Meadyille, Pa., where one of the oldest and best Methodist colleges is situated. Dr. Hirst is known in Pennsylvania, as he was formerly pastor of Christ Church, Pittsburg. Both these calls have been communicated to the official board of the Simpson M. E. Church, and a strong protest has been uttered by the congregation against losing Dr. Hirst till the five years, which the rules of the Methodist ‘Inhcopal church would permit himvtg“l spend with one congregation have expired. r. Hirst has been four years with the Bimpson Memorial Church, and he stated yesterday that he had not yet fully de- cided whetner he should accept the wider field offered by the Chicago call, or remain another year in San Francisco. The robability seems to be, however, that Dr, fiiun will decide in_ favor of Chicago, though nothinfi)iu settled yet. Rev. Fred 8. Pullan, pastor of the Third Congregational Church of this City, is pondering over a call to Pilgrim Congre- gational Church, Providence, R. I.

The Manufacturers and Producers’ As- sociation will soon make an effort to secure patronage for its members and for home industries in general from another source. Its officers are preparing tosend to all the ladies named in the “blue book” a request that in making their purchases of the ne- cessaries and luxuries of life they buy only goods and articles made by local or Cali- fornia manufacturers. These letters will contain several pretty mottoes that convey the idea that the prosperity of the State depends upon the prosperity of its manu- facturers an@ producers. Secretary Mead states that the ladies of the 400 spend thou- sands of dollars for articles bearing foreign and Eastern trademarks that are no better, if as good, as the same class of goods made in this State. In the blue book are the names of about 1500 ladies, and the money spent by these ladies will in a year aggregate many hun- dred thousand (fi:llnn. i‘(egwishes wirouae the patriotism of the ladies in society, in the belief that if their patronage is secured this item alone will go far toward building up local business.

Next week the asso- ciation will put up in every factory in the City huge posters to advertise the mass- meeting and_inviting all the employes to be present.
