The report that the Merchants’ Ex- change of Oakland will incorporate for purposes so as to have a perma- nent exhibit of goods, and another report that the exposition movement has also be- come a permanent one and has incor- porated for the purpose of build an exhi- bition hall, augur no good for either move. ment. On the surface it looks as though Oakland would benetit by having two per- manent exhibits and annual shows, but it means, without a shadow of doubs, the col lapse of one, and possibly both plans. | Both bodies are undoubtedly acting in | good faith, but the exposition businzss bids | r to bedone to death. Because e exposition, and that the very first one and | consequently a novelty, was a pronounced success, it does not follow that a show on an average every few months will be cqually popular, There is also something else to be considered. The exposition was a4 success because 80 many elements worked together forits success. The two new movements areopposed to each other, President Fish of the Merchants’ Exchange | was not one of the executive committee of | cent show. It was decided that it | was to be a manufacturers’ and producers’ extibit, consequently Mr. Fish being a merchant was not elizible. M. J. Keller, president of the Board of Trade, is a man- turer and, of course, was eligible, He was vice-president of the exposition and a prominent worker throughout. Tt stinction formed the basis for a r thatthere was friction between the r and the Board of Trade in toe 1 of the exposition, and that the although it loaned its bhead- and offered the services of its sec- | retary, held out, as a body. This was not stricliy true, as three exchange di- rectors, Theodore Gier. H. O, Trowbridee end Fred Bec.er, were on the exposition executive committee, but that there wasa lack of harmony between the presidents of the two bodles is proved by the two schemes to accomplish what is practically the same object. Any man with any knowledge of this city gmows that with an institute as proposed by the exposition committee and an Exhibition Hall as pro- | q vosed by the Merchants' Exchange, one | must fail.

Beside | the work in and around the church a pumber of notable improvements have been made in the house of the fathers, | including the painting of the exterior of the residence. In carrying out these plans we have gone as far as we could | without incurring debt. “St. Mary’s parish is entirely free from debt. If the receipts from ordinary sources of revenue, tngetfler with the special offer- ings at Christmas and Easter, continue in the future in the same ratio it will be pos- sible to make furtherimprovements during the coming year.” Father Wyman then announced, tothe great delight of the congergation, that two generous benefactors of this City had already contributed for the purchase of | two beautiful stained glass windows for | the sanctuary. A hope was expressed that | this church will yet have over the high altar in place of the altar-piece there sus- pended a memorial window in memory of | the saintly Alemany, first Archbishop of San Francisco and founder of the church, | By request of the late donor the painting which now hangs above the high altar and reredos will soon have to be transferred to the chapel of the new theological seminary at Menlo Park. Father Wyman further expressed the wish that all the windows in the church might become memorial windows, and he earnestly invited any or all persons who might desire to donate windows to the chureh to call upon him at any time. Referring to the work it is’hoped to ac- complish during the coming year, Father Wyman expressed confidence in the abil- ity of the congregation to pay for it as car- ried out, provided the offerings continue in the future as they have been in the past. In conclusion Lie stated that all the receints from this parish and congregation over and above the amount necessary for ordinary exvenses, would be applied to permanent improvements upon the church | property. |~ Asan indication of the harmony exist- | ing between the fathers and their congre- gation, it may be stated that immediately after the closé of the mass a memorial win dow was subscribed for. s Barnum’s Venezuelan Claim.

H, SWASEY, | Explosion of a Can of Bisulphide of Carbon Burns Him Frightfully. F. H. Pawling, an Aged Man, Commits Suicide by Cutting His Throat With a Razor. ALAMEDA, CaL., Jan. 5.—George H. Swasey, a young man who has resided in Alameda for many years, died Saturday at a ranch near Madrone Springs in the Santa Cruz Mountains, from injuries received ten days ago. He was engaged in clearing a mountain farm and ridding the place of govhers and | other pests. In furtherance of the latter work he had procured a five-gallon can of bisulphide of carbon, prepared especially to exterminate gophers. Ten days ago, | while handling the mixture, it exploded, burning him frizhtiully on his upper body, and finally causing lock-jaw, from which he died. The jarticulurs as to the explo- sion have not been received, but it is sup- posed that tne can and 1its contents were handled near a light or flame. The re- mains were brought to Alameda last night, and the funeral will be held from the residence of E. Scheiffelm, 1511 Central avenue. Deceased was 33 years of age, and a son of Charles 8. Swasey. He was a nephew of Mrs, Caroline E. Dwinelle of Alameda and of Timothy G. Phelps and Mrs. J. B. hroeder of San Mateo. His wife was a vaughter of Mrs. E. Scheiffelm, whose hus- band is the well-known mining expert who discovered the Iombstone mines, He leaves, besides his young widow, three children, Cuts His Throat With a Razor. ALAMEDA, CAL., Jan. 6.—F. H. Pawl- ing, 78 years of age, committed suiciGe yesterday morning at the residence of his son, H. Pawling, 3231 Encinal avenue. He had been in iil-hiealth for some time, and a few days ago a physician was called in, who informed the ailing man’s relatives | that he was suffering from softening of the brain. The old man went about among the neighbors with tales of ill-usage, and it was apparent to all who knew the fam- ily that he was failing mentally. Yester- day morninyz he arose and busied bimself | about the house for a time. At half-past 8 | he went into the house and procured his | sou’s razor. His purpose to take his life was deliberate, With the sharp imple- | ment he first backed the mnght side of | his throat in two or three places. He must have realized that these wounds were not likely to prove fatal, for he then turned the blade the other way and gashed the throat from the left side, half severing his | head from the body and making a wound | from which he died in a few moments. H. Pawling, the son, is a carpenter who has a jobbing-shop on Leidesdorft street i San Francisco. .
