And his mother kept all these words in her heart, And Jesus advanced in wisdom and age and grace with God and man, In the course of his discourse, which was delivered in that musical yoice pecu- | Hiar to the speaker, the Archbishop said: If you read carefully these singular words of the Lord you will readily comprehend that he came on earth to teach divine truth, to build | up the spiritual life, to establish the kingdom | of God 'in the hearts ot men. After leaving | | | Jerusalem at the age of 12 years he went with his parents to Nazareth, where he lived a poor | and uneventful lifc for 18 years. What was his reason for this? Why did he obscure him- sell in this little Syrian town? All this was done for a great purpose. All the works of God are done silently. Plants grow quietly by day and night; light pours noiselessly dowi to illumine the planet; al! the great works of nature are done in silence, And so the Lord re- mains in ob-curity for eighteen years, grow- ing, deve.oping, maturing in silence, working Guietly in his father’s carpenter-shop, living in peace and love with Mary and Joseph, the | model Christian family. Society 1s built on the tamily. Here we have social union. Here religion must begin. Here purity and virtue are nursed. In ancient times ihe family did not exist_as we see it to-day. Wedo not find in the old_the unity, dignit and sanctity of the new. More is done for God by the Christian family than is accomplished by preaching the gospel. In the family of our blessed Lord we have the pattern family. Here we have Joseph presiding over it and Mary, the mother, and our Lord sabjeet t0 it. Her wesee the growth of the child under the mother. The life of the Lord was a peaceful, natural development — an uninterrupted growth from youth to periect manhood. How does this life compare with that of the youth of our time? Our children take their stand with their elders in the drawing-room and in the temple of amusement. Their whole young life is dissipated. Our girls and boys Ccese their intellectuel growthat 18 years of age and make their debut in the social world. This is all wrong. It checks the development of the religious, intellectual and physical life. How differently the farmers treat their young plents.

The Captain of the Schooner Perry in Trouble With Wharfinger Dryden. The foggy weather kept everybody away from the water front yesterday, and in consequence the tenders that ran between the cruiser Boston and Folsom and Clay street wharves did very Jittle business. The Ethel and Marion from Clay street did fairly well, but still the men who char- teredh er did not pay expensds. At Fol- som-street wharf Henry Peterson, in the launch Amy, did nearly all the business, while the Millie did not earn enough te pay her coal biil. The only vessels that attracted any at- tention.outside of the excursion boats were the Edward O’Brien and Kenilworth. Both are American vessels, and the spick and span appearance of both attracted the attention of the people who visited the water front. The O'Brien is at Howard 2 and the Kenilworth at Harrison-street wharf. Mate Oliver of the O’Brien has not Constance. The role of Sir William Fond- love, the vain old baronet, who imagines himself as spry as a youth of twenty, will be tilled by Barton Hill. It is a good comedy when well played. This evening the Frawley Company is to present that well-known comedy, “The Senator,” of which W. H. Crane made such a success when he first produced it in this City. Theleading members of the Frawley Company in the principal parts are said to have given a representation equal to that given by Crane and his company. “My Precious Baby’’ has proved sucha success at Grover's Alcazar that the man- agement has decided to continue it to- night and every night during the week. The amusing dialogue, the funny situa- tions and the humor that runs through the entire comedy are calculated to, and do, keep the audience in a roar from rise to fall of curtain. Sedley Brown's pastoral comedy is to be offered at the Grand Opera this evening. It is entitled “A Long Lane,” and is a stage story of modern American life. The several tableaux will be presented with siriking effect. A novel scene will be the one showing sheep-washers at work in a large tank. “Ixion, The Man at the Wheel,” will continue on the boards at the Tivoli Opera- house to-night, and for that, for the bal- ance of the week and perhaps longer; the demand to witness this performance is so firest that the management is at a loss to now when to take it off. The singing and the dialogue meet the popular taste. The vaudeville programme to be pre- sented at the Orpheum Music Hall this evening is made up of many specialties that are sure to draw a crowded house.

T e hios "iason | _An archbishop is a prince of the Roman Catholic Chu-ch. Therefore he is usually addressed as his Grace. This custom of adare: to in oid Catholic countries, rich in the splendor of Catnolic tradition, but in the American church it bas come to be re- garded as prover and dignified to salute a dignitary of the hierarchy simply by his title of Archbishop or Bishop, as the occa- sion may require. Archbishop Riordan is not the man to quarrel with you over mere titles. While le is a man of marked dignity, as becomes | his great office, he soon makes the inter- viewer or visitor at home by his kind | words and gentle assurances. His respon- | sibilities are stupendous. He is a hard worker, and, with an efficient and able | staff of priests, after day building churches, temples of learning and homes for the orphans, the helpless and the poor. The new seminary which the Archbishop is now building at Menlo Park, and which will be opened very shortly, will be unsurpassed by any other institution of learning in the West. Archbishop Riordan passed his youth in a seminary at Chicago. Then he went to Rome and_ entered the American College. This was in 1859. There he spent a year | in study and another year in Paris. Then he entered the far-famed University of Louvain, in Belgium. While abroad the young student acquired a thorough know!- edge of French, Italian, German and Flemish. In all these languages the Arch- hishop can converse quite freely. His | career as a student was brilliant. He was | ordained in the cathedra! at Malines, Bel- ium, in 1865, Later be took the degree of icentiate of theology. s On returning to America in 1866 the voung priest was made professor of dog- matic theology and boly scripture in St. Mary’s Seminary, Chicago. In was appointed rector of St. Mary’s Church, | Woodstock, and later of St. Mary’a Church, | Joliet. In 1871 bhe was appointed to the | important _pastorate of St. James Church, | Chicago. H-re he remained until appoint- |ed coadjutor to the late Archbishop Alemany with the right of succession. The Archbishop’s life in San Francisco has been distinguished by the same bril- liant achievement that marked his career as a student abroad and a priest at home. The new catliedral on Van Ness avenue is an exemrllficnlir)n of his energy and Chris- tian zeal. His labors have extended out into many worthy channels. He builds | hospitals for the sick, homes for the poor and asylums for the orphans. The Archbishop’s sermon yesterday wa: from the gospel of the day, Luke i 2 as follows: And when twelve years old they went up to | Jérusalem, eccording to the custom of the feast; and having fulfilied the days when they returned, the child Jesus remained in Jerusa- Tem, and his parents knew it not. And think- ing he was in the company they came a day's journey, and sought him among their kinsfolk #nd scquaintances. And not finding him they returned unto Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass thatafter three days they found him in the temple sitting in the midst of the doctors hearing them, and asking them questions. Ana all that heard him were as tonished at his wisdom and his answers. And seeing him they wondered. And his mother aid to him: Sori, why hast thou done o to us? Behold, thy fzther and I have sought thee sor- rowing. And he said to them: How is it that | you sought me? Did you not know that I must | be about my fatber's business?

We must work for our | God. for our country and for religion. The Archbishop drew a beautiful pic- | ture of the home life of the family of the | | Lord in Nazareth, and exhorted his hear- | | ers to pattern after it in their domestic | relations. The example had been handed | | down the ages and should be followed by | all true Christians. Inconclusion he said: | “The Christian family is the family of | the Nation, giving to” the nation pure | | women and strong, brave men; where reverence of law is found; where purity of | speech is heard; where peace reigns.’’ The Archbishop scored the divorce laws | and declared them an insrrument with which deadly blows were dealt against the Christian family THROWN FROM A CART. Runaway Accident on the Ocean Boule- vard. Yesterday afternoon Peter Burns, who lives on the San Bruno road near the Golden City House, in company with a friend, was riding in a two-horse cart along the great highway opposite the | “Carville” when the animal he was driv- | ing became frightened at a train of the Park and Ocean line as it was rounding the curve. The animal reared, kicked the | dashboard into Dbits and started off at a ., terrific rate.

ST. MARY’'S CATHEDRAL, VAN NESS AVENUE, WHERE HIS GRACE ARCH. BISHOP RIORDAN PREACHED YESTERDAY. [From a photograph.] He is liabie to a fine of §100 ing to move his ship when ordered, and as the Harbor Commissioners intend to make an example of him the legal battle is likely to be a lively one. The Kenilworth was originally a British ship, but during the fire that destroved the Port Costa grainsheds she was caught in the blaze and burnt to the water's edge. She was rebuilt, placed under the Ameri- can flag, and ever since has been trading between San Francisco and European ports. _On this occasion she comes from New York with a cargo of general mer- | chanchise. The Pacific Mail Company’s steamer Peru goes on Hunters Point drydock this morning. The stevedores have done very quick work on her, as she only arrived last Saturday, and during the intérvening time nearly 200 tons of cargo was discharged. The men worked on her all Saturday getting the vessel cleared. Tle ship Rufus E. Wood will go on the Merchants’ drydock to-day to have her fore foot repaired. Some time ago she went ashore ana her stem was damaged by the rocks. The hull is not injured to any material extent, and a couple of days’ work will make the wood as good as new. About the last of the sealers will get away this week. The tleet will be a ver: mall one, as a great many schooners will remain in Ozkland Creek in the hopes that better times will come around. The Rattler made a successful trip last year, | and she will tempt fortune again this sea- Captain Nelson will take her out. On the 20th inst. the Mattie T. Dyer will go out in charge of Captain Moeckier, and she will be about the last of the fleet to sail. All steamers that arrive from foreign ports are now inspected by the United States quarantine officers. Dr. Bleu of the United States Marine Hospital goes out to all vessels from China, Japan, Australia and the South Sea Islands on the Govern- ment tug and passes upon all the immi- grants, All the Chinese on the Peru were examined by both Dr. Chaimers, the State Quaiantine Offiter,@nd Mt Hley. EHitisa | town pool-sellers, said that the matter of certainty that there was no contagion on that steamer. Captain Schroeder of the schooner S. E. Perry and Wharfinger Dryden at Main- | street wharf will have a passage at arms to-day. Without permission Schroeder docked his vessel at Main street yesterday and began unloading a cargo of barrei- staves. Dryden stopped him and said the schooner would have to be moved, as the revenue cutters Bear, Rush and Perry were to dock at the wharf this morning. Schroeder told the wharfinger in so many words that he intended to stay where he wasg, and no Harbor Commissioner nor anybody else would make him move. The controversy will be settled to-day, and if Captain Schroeder does not move his schooner the chances are that he will find himself in jail. The steamer Santa Rosa arrived from southern ports yesterday. She brought ‘very little cargo and only about sixty cabin passengers. The Stockton steamers are to have a direct entrance from the wharves to the upper deck. New gangways are being built and a portion of the cheds at Clay and Washington street wharves are being taken out in order to make room for them, With this improvement the steamers can discharge and load cargo without any danger to passengers.

TROUBLED TELEGRAPHERS Racing Returns Leaked, and Chief Operator McRobie Was Discharged. No Cne Put Up the Wire Near the Ingleside Track and No One Tore It Dowan. ; When the secret wire of the downtown pool-sellers came down Saturday afternoon there was quite a hubbub in telegraphic circles. One of the operators of the grape- vine company was & man named Patter- son, a former operator of the Western Union Company. It is said, though, that he was not the only employe of that com- pany who was active in the interests of the pool-sellers. The story that there has been a leak from the big building on Pine street has been given great emphasis by the dis- charge of John McRobie, who for a long time has been manager of the operating- room. Just how inside information at the track got out no one seems to know. But it got out, and frequently large sums were drawn down from the poolrooms by men who had information that was definite as to win- ners. They got it somewhere and it came by the Western Union wires. From this point_ stories vary. No one | says directly that Mr. McRobie gave out | of his affair. returns, In fact it is not known that Mr. McRobie gave out returns. But news of the races was given out and Mr. McRobie was discharged. Jerry Driscoll, the head of the down- the wire used and pulled down was none “My business is placing pools on com- | mission, not putting up telegraph lines,”’ | he said. “We buy our service from the track from the Postal Company. That's all T know. How they get it in is none of my business. Idon’t know who put up the wire that was taken down. It was not the pool-sellers.” Mr. Driscoll said he did not know how he was going to get returns speedily to- day. But he looked cheery while he said it and went on his way busily. Mr. Corrigan of tie Pacitic Coast Jockey Club doesn’t know how Mr. Driscoll is to get information from the Ingleside track either. He said they would not have tele- graph or telephone service, though. He knew as little about who took down the wild wire on Saturday afternoon as did Captain Cullundan. ‘I don’t see as it matters much, though,” he added. *“Mr. Driscoll says his people don’t own the wire. Mr. Storror says the Postal people don’t own the wire; and so, for the life of me, I can’t see that there is any one who has been injured.” LIFE UNDERWRITERS. Annual Meeting and Election of Officers.

Official Beards Appointed — The Sa- gacity of Pet Animals on the Reservation. The soldiers at the Presidio had a season of respite from active duty in drilling from | December 20 until January 10. The| vacation ended on the latter date and | daily instruction was then resumed. i The business of the canteen at the Pre- | sidio for the six months ended December | 31 last was very good. The receipts were | not quite up to the mark of the first six | months of 1805, which is easily accounted | for by the fact that two troops of cavalry were away from the post during the sum- | mer and autumn guarding United States reservations in the Sierra. The light ar-| tillery batteries were also away on practice | marches for some time, hence the number of men at the garrison was diminished. | The canteen system is regarded now as an | established success. A board of officers has been convened at } the Presidio for the purpose of considering | schemes of instruction for batteries of heavy artillerv. The schemes were sub- mitted by the commanding officers_of the Presidio, Aleatraz Island and Fort Mason. The board consists of Captain H. J. Reilly, | First Lieutenant O. E. Wood and First | Lieutenant W. H. Coffin, all of the Fiftn | Artillery. A board consisting of the following | named officers has been convened for the | purpose of devising a scheme of instrue- | tion in detail for light artillery: Captain Morrig, Captain Frank Thorp and Second Lieutenant G. G. Gatley, all of the Fifth Artillery. Lieutenant-Colonel Francis L. Guenther, Fifth Artillery,. has been up;nointed ar- tillery inspector, Department of California. The appointment, made by General For- | syth, is subject to the approval of the | major-general commanding the army. | Ttis expected by the friends of Colonel | Charles G. Sawtelle, assistant quartermas- ter-general, that he will be appointed quartermaster-general to succeed General R. Batchelder, who retires July 27 of this year. The only agreeable thought of General Batchelder’s retirement is the reflection that he will have time to visit San Francisco. He was stationed at this post many years, but has not been here since his promotion to the head of the quartermaster department. Miss Overton of Los Angeles, daughter of Captamn Overton, Sixth Cavalry (re- tired), is visiting at the home of Colonel and Mrs. Kimball, on Pacific avenue, near the Presidio. H Lieutenant_ Stockle, Tenth Cavalry; Lieutenant Littebrant, Tenth Cavalry and Lieutenant Schoiield, Fourth Cavalry, son of Lieutenant-General Schofield, are in San Francisco for examination before the | board for promotion. Lieutenant O. E. Hunt, Fourteenth In- fantry, Vancouver Barracks, was at the Presidio last week. He obtained leave of | absence for his wedding trip. Lieutenant Adams has been appointed | post quartermaster at the Presidio, taking the place of Captain Sawyer, who was re- cent?y ordered to Buifalo, ¥. A lodge of the Knights of Pythias con- sisting of seventy-five excellent members has been recruited at the Presidio. It will be known as Mars Lodge, and will be organized in due form at Pythian Castle at 7:30 o’clock to-morrow evening. Soldiers at the Presidio who read in THE Cary an account of the sagacity of Colonel Graham’s dog, assert that for canine intel- ligence the commanding officer’s dog is not of high rank. The dog “Smiler,” be- | longing to Troop K, Fourth Cavalry, is said to be the most knowing specimen of the canine tribe on the reservation. At the first call in the morning “Smifer” is up at one bound and instantly rushes to every member of the troop to arouse the sleepy soldiers. ‘““‘Smiler’’ is a large dog of the shepherd strain. A cat of Battery H, Fifth Artillery, is one of the pets of the post. He makes it a auty to spring on every dog that comes along, and all dogs, big and little, stand in dread of the feline guardian of the battery. The cat does not show anger in attacking dogs. His hair does not go up and neither does his spine curve as a signal for attack, but when he sees a dog coming he coolly leayes his place on the porch at the bar- racks, crouches in the grass and springs on his canine prey with sudden precision. The private of Battery A who recently made a pass at his corporal with a sword bayonet has been tried by a court-martial, and his sentence will be made known this week. Men of the battery who refused to assist the corporal have had a hearing. | { One man who cheered the corporal’s as- sailant will probably be punisbed. THE LOUBAT PRIZES. Offered to Students and Literary Work- ers of All Countries. The president of Columbia College of the city of New York has just issued a cir- cular-letter which will prove of interest to students and literary workers. A copy re- ceived in this City on Saturday sets forth that the Loubat prizes are offered for com- petition. One is a prize of not less than $1000 and the other not less than $400, of- fered to the authors of the best works on the history, geography, archmology, eth- nology, philology or numismatics of North America. The competition for these prizes is open to all persons, whether citi- zens of the United States or any other country. The prizes are to be awaydea in 1898, and every fifth year thereaiter. For the purpose of the award the sub- jects named are to be divided into two groups. in which the award is to be made alternately, namely: (a) History, geogra- phy and humismatics; (b) archwmology, ethnology and philology. The awards to be made in 1898 are to be conferred for works relating to subjects of the second group, The conditions of competition shall be: (a) That the work fall within the group of subjects designated for the current quin- quennial period and that it be publisied within that period; (b) that it be written by one person; (c) that it embody the re- sult of onginal research; (d) that it be published in the English language. Neither of the prizes will be divided. The committee on award is to be com- posed of three members, who shall make their report not later than the 1st of May in the award year to the president of the Columbia College. The committee for 1898 consists of Professor H. T. Peck of Co- umbia College (chairman), Professor Dan- iel G. Brinton of the University of Penn- sylvania and W. J. McGee of the Smith- | sonian Institution, Washington, D. C. St. Luke’s Church. Reyv. William Carson Shaw, the rector’s as- sistant lately called to St. Luke's Protestant Episcopal Chureh, arrived in San Francisco last Saturday, accompanied by his bride. Mr. and Mrs. Shaw will make their home at 1714 Clay street, where they can be seen after to- day. At present they are guests of the Rey. William Hall Moreland and wife at their Jack- son-street residence. Rev. William Carson Shaw was recently canon of the Protestant Episcopal Cathedral of Spokane, Wash. The new assistang officiated for the first time at the 11 o’clock service yesterday morning, reading the entire office of morning prayer. The sermon was preached by the rector.
