Cere- Father N. S. Greenkevick Is Ordained an Archpriest by Bishop Nicholas. The second-day the Gre = ves stmas services of Jatholic faith were held in the hedral of St. Basil on Powell street erday, beginning at 10 o’clock in the morning and ending with an evening spe- | cial mass and the chanting of the Liturgy of St. Basil. According to the Julian cal- endar, which the Orthodox Eastern church adaberes to, Chrisimas comes twelve days later than in the Gregorian method of reckoning time. The interior of the church was beauti- fully aecorated with flowers and potted plants until half of the space reserved for the congreguation was filled with blooms and -evergreens. Against the hand- some panels and pictures—the lat- ter rare works of art—were hung colored lamps which added their brilliant hues *o the animated scene. The altar of the Greek church, different from the Roman in its arrangement, is separ- ated from the auditorium by a glass parti- tion through which may be seen the glowing lamps, crosses and’ other belong- ings of the sacred place. The ceremonies of the Eastern church are most impressive, the masses, ciiants and ymus being voiced in the stately Gre- cizn tongue. The priests are arrayed in the richest vestments, in striking contrast to the more simple altar robes of the other faiths. Yest:rday morning the services began with a grand prayer chant by a choir of twelve voices underthe leadership of Peter Ignatich Pepoff and composed of P. Gre- pachevsky, A. Zoubkovsky, N. Kensky, 8. L. Pashkovsky, Misses Ella and Mary Dabovich, George and John Mitrepolsky, Mrs. Miller. Misses Julia, Nellie and Mary Mitropolsky. It was & noble melo.y, seldom excelled in any church ser- vice, with a matchless bass that was proloneed after the other singers had ceased and blended with the reading of the officiating priest, Right Rev. Bishop Nicholas of thisdiocese, assisted by Fatners N. 8. Greenkevich and Mitro- polsky. While the choir rendered taeir splendid music the Bishop passed through the auditorium swinging the censer before the holy pictures and other sacred articles within the church. S After a sermon delivered partly in Eng- lish Father Greenkevich took his place be-. fore the altar and with impressive cere- monies was invested with the honors of arclkpr\estshxp. the highest order of priest- hood under the office of Bishop. How- ever, only amonk who is a celibate can be raised to the bishopric. Priests may marry in the Greek-Catholic church. _The new archpriest is a scholarly Rus- sian, speaking English fluently, and has been in this City for several years. He will remain attached to St. Basil's Ca- thedral. . Deacon Nicholas Wasilieff was then or- [ dained as a priest and solemnly robed in | the garments of his new office. In the evening vespers were celebrated | by Father Kamneff with the customary melodies by the choir. i | To-day the Christmas services will be | ! concluded and to-night special services, | with a Christmas-tree for the children,will | be held in the cuthedral. ‘ e e i FOR THE ARMENIANS.

The election officers who will run the | Buckley Democratic primary next Satur- day night were chosen last evening in most of the districts by the district com- mittees of twenty-five, composing the gen- eral committee. This was a very easy operation in most of the districts. In nearly all there are no contests, or none that have not been fixed up, and in those there will be but one ticket. In several districts opposing leaders and factions are rivals for district power which might help nominate men and get patronage if Buckleyites get offices. Itis the policy of ihe primary committee of e, of which M. J. Donovan chairman, to manufacture harmony out of discord and to get such rival factions to agree on a single ticket whieh will divid the representation in the general com- mittee.

James H. O’Brien of the pri- mary committee was appointed to settle things, and he went to the meeting last night, but after a ion« session it ' -oke up in a row which will be continued ight. There are several rea-ons wny a iaige ele- ment in Dundon’s district are trying to chase him ont of power. In 1892 he be- | came an active reorganizer, but was one of the earliest to return to the Buckley camp. The “oid-timers'’ are thus down on him. | _ When he was Supervisor he voted to cut | down some wages and salaries in which | his political constituents were interested. Then he is charged with having acted i decently, ungratefully and unwisely in distributing patronage. For these and | | otner reasons a whole lot of Thirty-second | District Democrats are crying *‘Down | Dundon!” | “Dundon holds about half of tae delega- | tion from that district in the precinct zen- eral committee. When the new members | of the general comniittee were nominated | the other night a Dundon man was named | for sub-president and - himself for vice- | president. Since then he has surrendered | both offices, but the anti-Dundon faction refuses to put up its knife, and a harmo- ! nious ticket with divided power the pow- ers have not been able to prodnce. |~ It loois as though there would be a reg- ular old-time primary down there, and the primary committee will probably have to appoint election officers, take charge of the ballot-box and let Dundon and his enemies fight it out on Saturday night. At t.e election the polls will open in | each district at 7:30 p. M. This would give time for but a part of the vote enrolled to be polied. In mostdistricts this will make | no difference.

Women’s Christian Temperance Union, Mrs. Lewis, Mrs, Williams and Mrs. Oat- man of the Central Woman’s: Christian Temperance Union, and a number of other ladies promiuent in church and charitable work were present, and while the attendance was not large, the meeting was by no means la g in interest. Before any work s done the assembled ladies were thrown into some consterna- tion by the unheralded entrance of a gen- tleman. He seemed a harmless sort of fel- self as a reporter from one of the morning vapers. “I told the editors,” remarked Mrs. French from her perch in the presidential chair, “that 1 wanted none but lady re- porters present at our meetings.”’ A mutherly-looking lady moved that the reporter be allowed to remain, and the motion being seconded and put, was car- ried, though the chorus of ayes was rather feeble. “You may stay, sir,” said Mrs. French, in a somewhat magisterial and by no means cordial tone, *though had you not been present the decision of the ladies might have been different.” The first action taken was the nomina- tion and election of members jfor the executive committee of the federation, with the result that that body sists of the foliow P Mrs. Rose M. French; Mesdames Louise A. Sorbier and D. Spencer; Brown; corresponding secret! f. North; t er, Mrs. N ster; auxili- aries, M Eva i street, ed auditor, and Mrs. R. Patterson . B. Siddon were added to the Police Court ana Prison committee, Mrs. Patterson being turther suthorized to in- vestigate the labyrinthine precine.s of the divorce courts for the purpose of seeing whether the fed ion would be justified committee to deal up before these tri- in organizing a special with ma.ters comi bunals. A Harnish and Mrs. Nash were ap- to investigate the *‘sweating’ sys- it i to be in vogue in some of ess bouses. A committee was to have been or:anized to visitand sect the Magdalen Asyium, under the nage of a well-known Catholic v, but the measure waslaid over I the following meeting. The Methodist deaconess, H. Ida Ben- son, was added to the committee on dives and Mrs. Harnish to the press commattee. Mrs. M. J. Payne was depuied to in- vestigate the condition aof pgirls and confer with Commissioner Fitzgerald re- garding the adoption ot measures for the amelioration of their condition. Miss Cummings also volunteered to attend a meeting of the Gleaners' Club to ask in- formation in reference to the same matter. Much discussion regarding indecent bill- | boards and posters enlivened the session at this stage. Mrs. Nash said seen advertisemenis of plays posted over every available syace of Ecuzn]ing and con- sidered almost all of the posters indecent. Mrs. French agreed with Mrs. Nash, “There have been,” she remarked, “wo- men of sufficient courage to walk up to those nasty posters and tear them down, she had | and. dear sisters, I'll tell you one thing: | those noble Wwomen were never pun- ished, though they were nauled up in court. It must not be imagined, though, that I recommend such vigorous measures in practice.” Mrs. Peoples of the committee on Christ- mas letters reported that the cheery mis- sives had been handed to about forty drunkards at the City Prison, and had been in every instance courfeousiy re- ceived. These leiters were written by ladies in_this country and England, and contained messages of encouragement and consolation to the tnknown recinients. Mrs. French spoke with some warmth and at_considerable length upon the recent North Beach scandal. She said the aged reprobates involved had escaped very lightly, and she wished to enter a most emphatic protest against what she consid- ered a flagrant miscarriage of justice. She also stated that a woman was prowl- ing about the City in a most mysterious and alarming fashion, erdeavoring by means of blandishments and threats to coerce the mothers of the girls connected with the affair into preventing their daughters from testifying. “This woman,” continued Mrs. French, “is trying to bring discredit upon our work by the most artful means. I fear she may be suspected of being an emissary | i P y from our federation, deputed by us to op- pose and harass the police. In order to correct this erroneous impression, if in- deed it exist, I have asked the Chief of Police to have the woman watched, and her words, actions and appearance care- fully noted. I hope I have the feder- ation’s approval for my action.” “The ladies would all approve your course if they had seen the woman,” was | Miss Cummings’ pithy reply. ““Oh, dear! Did you ‘sée her?” *Qh, my! What was she like?” were a few of the exclamations evoked by Miss Cum- mings' reniark. “I saw her,” continued Miss Cummings, ““in a little room off Judge Conlan’s court- room. She was talking with three little girls, a woman and a man, and said she beloneed to the Associated Charities and to the San Francisco Benevolent Society. She mentioned Mr. Beeching as one of her friends. Then I knew there must be something crooked, for Mr. Beeching was dead and buried long ago. She talked about you, too,” said Miss Cummings, ad- dressing the president. “Talked about me?’ repeated Mrs. French, excitedly; “for goodness’ sake what did she say?"’ “‘Weil,"” rejoined Miss Cummings, “she said you were running here and there and everywhere all over the -City after these girls and trying to get peopleinto troubie, “Idon’t care what she said,” was Mrs. French’s retort, delivered in a tone of supreme disgust. Miss GGimmings administered a little of the balm of consolation. “Iam sure we all hold Mrs, French in the highest esteem for her noble endeavors in the cause of purity and right. I for one care nothing for what any one may say to the contrary.” Another grievance was found in the fact that one of the men implicated in the North Beach affair, Henshaw by name, had been serviiz as trusty at the City Prison while hi: carceration in the County Jail. Miss nmings reported that at the earnest solicitations of some of the lady members of the federation he had latterly been sent thither. Mrs. French referred to the prosent stat- ute relating to such crimes. " She consid- ered it very inadequate. She desired this fact to be as publicly known as pospible, in order that measures mignt be seton foot for a change in the present legisla- tion. In the meantime she thought watchful, wideawake women could do a great deal if they would only keep their eyes open and their wits about them. On motion of Mrs. Fairbanks it was ordered that Mrs. J. Bruner be made a member of the committee who will visit the Magdalen Asylum in the near future. The prison committee was ordered to pre- sent adetailed statement of its work at the next meeting. Before an adjournment was taken Mrs. Harnish presented a motion, seconded by 2 lady who begged that her name might be kept out of print, to the effect that the thanks of the federation be tendered to Tue Carn and some other journals for their reports of the federation’s. procee ings. he motion was carried unani- mously by & rising vote, Mrs, French re- marking philosophically : “It’s better for the papers to make fun of us than to leave us and our work alone altogether.’” —_— SLACK 1S 10 PRESDE He Was the Unanimous Choice of the Superior Court Judges.

To originate ideas for the benefit of their customers has been the constant endeavor of Young & Weisman, the proprietors of this justly famous restaurant. Whilg their success hastroubled their competitors they have continued to attract customers and then to hold tifem by a first-class service and the best quality of food that the mar- ket could offer. To insure the purity and freshness of their milk, cream, butter, eggs and vegetables, they are produced on the private ranch of the ;émpriewrs, and their meats are furnished by Mr. S. Solo- mon, who has built up_the reputation or the Grill Room of the Palace Hotel by the quality of meats which he has furnished 1o that house. Pastry is not neglected at the Creamerie, every article in the shape of bread, pies, cakes, etc., used in the house being produced on the premises, by which means the supply is always fresh and toothsome. The Creamerie’s coffee has a reputation extending all over the State, in fact every article on its bil! of fare is noted for its perfection in preparation and service. : Chapin’s Orchestra is in daily attendance and discourses the very best of music dur- ing meal houre. Among the later innova- tions at the Creamerie is a table de hote dinner which is served on Sundays at a nominal figure of fifty cents and will be gvund to equal any dinner offered in the ity. A) trial of any meal at this jastly cele- brated restaurant will convince one of its admirable good qualities and remove any doubt as to the cause of its excessive pop- ularity. - Bancroft Build- ——————— Dancing in & Cathedral.

Richard Dixon is a little man who was thrown from a Powell-street car by a big conductor, Now he wants damages for General made the voy: his injured body and feelings, ana yester- day brought suit against the Markct-street Railway Company, through his attorney, Albert M. Armstrong, for $5000.; Dixon boarded a car at Filbert and Mason streets on the morning of Decem- ber 3, 1895, intending to ride to Francisco street, which was only three blocks away. He claims that as heé paid his fare he told the conductor to stop at Francisco street, but that the conductor failed to ring the Dell when they neared the crossing, He asked the conductor sharply why he didn’t stop. He says that official paid no atten- | tion to him, but devoted himself to clean- | ing his nails. He then said, “See here, 1 | told you to stop here.” Still the conductor | cleaned his nails. He then swore a bit at the conductor, and this seemed to anger | bim. He jerked the bellrope, and then grabbing Dixon by the collar threw him | into the street, while the car was still mov- | ing. When the car stopped the conductor ! lifted Mr. Dixon’s little boy off, and then | went on without stopping to see if Dixon were nhurt or not. ‘William Camphbell, who has a grain ware- house at section 1 of the seawall, saw Dixon thrown off the car.

As the result of the three-cornered rate | War now in progress between the Southern | Pacific Company, the Oregon Railway and | Navigation Company ‘and the North Pa- | cific Steamship Company for business be- | tween this City and Portland, Or., a new steamship line has virtually been estab- lished between the cities named. For some time past the North Pacific Steamship Company has been runnin steamer Al nchard between hex Portland, stopping at Coos and Humboldt | bays. She-araws her principal revenue | from the way port traffic. This enables | her to cul rates between the terminal points to $1 per ton, and to secure consi erable through business by reason of the low charges. ! Recently the Oregon Railway and Nav igation Company put on the South Coast, a steam schooner, to operate in direct competition with the Blanchard. The South Coast arrived in this port Sunday mght, bringing down with her A: Freight Agent O'Reilly. ge in order to look over the ituation, and particularly the propects of maintaining the service permanently be- tween 'ere and Portland, via Coos and Humboldt bays, In an interview yester- | day Mr. O'Reilly said: | I came down on the South Coastto getac- | quainted with the route, as we int 1ish a regular service to Tuu between here and Portland, touching at Coos ana Humboldt elieve it will be made a pe outh Const will be employed for the present round trip in about departure for us, bu ufficiently bright to warrant us going into it. We had been figuring on it for about a year or more, | and waited to get & vessel that would suit. | This we now have in the South Coast. *“What is the prospect of the present | war with the Southern Pacific Company | being settled soon ?”” was asked. Ihaven’t the least idea. I can only say that when I left Portland on the 30th of December | there was no prospect of a settlement in_sight; | that is, there were no negotiations in pogress looking to & settiement. My visit here has no connection with the rate war. Asked about the report that the South- ern Pacific was endeavoring to securs control of the Oregon Railway and Navi- gation Company, he said: “Idon’t think there is anything in that report. I don’t think the’ Southern Pacific Company is even thinking of such a thing.” THE WHITE RAT MERCHANT. A Small Boy Who Said They Would Clear a House of Black Rats. “Don’t you want to buy some white rats?” asked an urchin in an embarrassed manner of passers-by, as he stood on the pavement on Eleventh street, near Grand avenue. In arough pine box, across the top of which were nailet several slats, were two white rats which the youngster eyed with the greatest solicitude. The boy’s hands were red, and his teeth chattered from cold, as he looked appealingly at the | well-dressed men and women who glanced | at his small menagerie. In reply to the | questions of one lady. he said that the rats | were *“'nice to look at, thata ‘feller’ could play with them, and that they would chase all the big black rats away from the | house.” At this one of the rodents stuck its red nose from between the slats, and | the lady instinctively started te scream. | The Inquisitive rai lost a prospective trade for its owner, who looked crestialien.
