HAS AN INTERESTING HISTORY How the Rev. Mardon D. Wilson Zealously Guards the Spiritual Interests of His Flock. Out at North Beach, where the fresh sea breezes sweep up from the harbor, is lo- | cated the perish of St. Peter’s. It belongs | to the Episcopalian communion and is | done before the mission of - the historic edifice will have been complete, and they propose to do it with cheerful hearts. They are just now engaged in raising funds to pay off the remaining debt on the new organ. The obligation is a trifling one, and the good people hope to soon have the balance on their side. 3 The Rev. Mardon D. Wilson is an inter- esting man. He is gentle and affable and is most zealous in his work of winning souls over to God. He speaks with force and eloguence from the pulpit. During thefew months he has been rector of St. Pe- ter’s he has met with gratifying success. He was fl?puinled to this charge on Octo- ber 1,1895. Previous to that time he was rector of St. Andrew's Church, Oakland. On coming to this coast from college n New Haven some ten years ago he located at Astoria, Or., where he remained four years. He next went to Vancouver, where he presided over an Episcopalian church for six years. Then he came to California. The rector's sermon at the morning service vesterday was in relation to the approaching season of Lent. He dwelt with great clearness and force upon the eficacy of prayer and the glories of the Eure and sinless life. His text was from St. John, xvi:12: I have many things to | say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.” He developed the idea that God only reveals truth by degrees or stages, as men are able to receive it. This. was clearly taught in the New Testament and agrees in every way with the experiences of life. He declared that revelation was tem- pered to the capacity of the recipient, as in the text, **Ye cannot bear them now.” | | | i | revealed. As the good works of men brought them into better accord with the spirit of their Master they would be able to assimilate more of God’s truth, and then the truth would be more fully revealed to them. “So with us,” he continued. ‘‘Aswe by prayer, by suffering, by experience, enter more fully into the appreciation of the ever-present spirit of God, we also will be There was much in nature that was not | the Advent and Trinity Church, three services each in Grace Church and ~ Trinity and two in the Chureh of the Advent.

CAPTAIN WILLIAMS' IDEA. Cruised in the Arctic Thirty Years and Never Knew Natives to Send Information. Captain Louis Williams, who - has been making trips to the Arctic for the last thirty years and who has during his nauti- cal experience acquired consiaerable knowledge ot the northern seas and cur- rents, is much interested in the story of the recent discovery of the pole by Nansen. Twenty-five years ago, long before the firstand only Western Arctic expedition | went out from San Francisco under the command of De Long, he had been as far north as 7424 deg. Since then, summer after summer, he has cruised about the Arctic on whaling voyages, far to the east of Point Barrow, the most northern point of Alaska, and as far to the westward of Bering Strait as Cape Sievernoi, on the Siberian Coast. It was only last October that Captain Williams was in the Arctic in command of the Hidalgo. I ,f/fm" i A0 i/ N 20 %0 25l f REV. J. A. EMORY.

The congregation of St. Peter’s was or- ganized in 1867, but it was not until 1870 that the present pretty little church at the corner of Stockton and Filbert streets was built and dedicated to the honor and glory of the Eternal Father. There is a reverence about the warm and cozy inte- rior that is at once edifying. And the services are very interesting. They follow out the Episcopalian order. Besides, there is a surpliced choir of some thirty-five male voices under the direction of Henry Kirk White Jr. This choir was organized by the Rev. Mr. Emery, since appoin rector of the Church of the Advent.by the Rt. Rev. Bishop Nichols. St. Peter's has a membership of some 175 comrmunicants. The parish wasat one time one of the most flourishing in the City. The days of its prosperity came and went like the ebb lndb flowdo( éhe e ocean beach beyond. But xllctfil’m‘}{e:l:vho clung to the old church are most loyal in their devotions to it. They love the memories and traditions that cling to its more than a quarter of a ‘century of history. The outlook for the future of the church is hoperul.

M.; Thursday, 4p. M., and Friday, 10:30 A. . and 7:30 p. M. At the Friday evening services the preachers during February will be: Febru- ary 21, Rev. R. C. Foute, and February 28, Rev T. J.

Homer Henley, and the accom- paniments will be played by Miss Belle Cham- berlain, The programme will contain many entertaining musical selections’ ini, Thomas, Moszkowski, Rubinstein, Wagner, Sir ) Arthur Sullivan, Marchesi and Verdi, The ; Discussing yesterday the possibilities of the recently reported discovery of the pole by Nansen and the means by which the news could have come from his ship, the Fram, the captain said: “The telegraphic dispatches saying that Nansen had been up to and was on his way back from the north pole did not state where the Fram was at the time the information was obtained, nor were any dates given. If we were told anything definite as to the original source of the report we might form some opinion as to the probability of the discovery. ‘It is a very peculiar time of year to re- ceive information from that region, for in the winter everything is blocked. The only possible way for news to come from the Fram would be for some one to leave the Fram and reach a permanent settle- ment. “When Nansen started out on his expe- dition he entered the Arctic near Norway, traveling round the pole upon a general course opposite to the direction of the hands of a clock. His purpose was, as I understand it, to reach a point some dis- tance beyond the mouth of the Lena River and there be taken up by the current in which the Jeannette was drifting when she was crushed in the ice in June, 1888. *‘That current the Jeanette was in was carrying her along about three miles an hour just before she- was abandoned. It was a branch of the Japan current which bends up into the North Pacific and there divides, one part coming down this coast and the other goingon up through Bering Strait. Just after entering the Arcgic that current branches again. A main and well-known constant flow strikes eastward past Point Barrow, at one or two miles an hour, along the north coast of British America through the great archi- pelago and into Baffin’s Bay; thereit turns southward, carrying the Greenland ice- bergs down into the Atlantic Ocean. But the other branch bends to the northwest and starts round the other side of the pole. In that current the Jeannette was carried along until she was almost on the opposite side of .the pole from us. Nansen’s plans seend to have been based upon the hy- othesis-that the currént must eventually Eend in upon the pole, and crossing it, come out-on the coast of Greenland. But I never believed that story about some of the Jeannette's material being found on the coast of Greenland, .and I don’t believe it yet. ""N ow, if this information came by way of the coast near the mouth of the Lena River it passed through the hands of Rus- sian Government officials, for wherever there is a permanent settlement near that coast there are. Russian officials. But there is no living about the mouth of the Lena, for its big delta is covered with drift ice in the spring and no habitation could -exist. The river is over 2000 miles long, and when the snows at its source ‘melt the whole country is flooded about ‘the delta and is covered with sheet ice. “The first permanent settlement that - Melville found when he was picked up in October, 1888, was, about 250 miles back from the mouth of the Lena. Why should Nansen after reaching the pole go back to land nearly three times as far away as the already explored coast of Greenland? If he reached the pole on that current he would naturally bave staved with it and come out on it. Why would he go back 1200 miles when' by keeping on about 400 he could reach known waters? “The Fram had only arrived in the neighborhood of the Kara Sea for her first winter. She must have done some very quick work compared with her sailing up to that time to have gone to the pole and | started back since then, ‘““As for the natives communicating with oneanother by some mysterious meansand at long distances, I have never seen The news could hardly have come in a vance by such means.” There is no com- munication between the natives by signals. When two natives from different villages meet, they sit down and smake a pipe exchange the. gossip of their localities. In that country the family lives upon what the men and boys can hunt and fish for and consequenily there isn’t any wan- dering from home, In the winter season particularly the native stays at home pretty faithfuily “Natives living sixty or seventy miles apart know simply nothing about each other, even where in many cases it would be to their advantage to communicate with each other. = ‘You can get a native to carry a message for you but must always have the pay issued at the other end or he will fall from grace and disappoint you. They do all such traveling on land by dog teams and ‘clover from twenty-five to forty miles a ay. “It is only the shore natives that have and'use canoes. When they sight a ship they come off to her with their whole fam- ilies with them. It is like going to the opera. And they’ll stay with you as long as vou'll let them. tion irom natives near Bering Strait | that would be accurate, but never any | from the Siberian coast natives in the Arc- tic. They are visited by Russian authori- ties only once or twice a year. All east of the Lena on the Siberian coast the natives understand that if a vessel is wrecked they sbould care for the survivors. “It freezes pretty solid in that north- ern region during the winter months. Then there is not much movement to the ice, although there are open spaces in it. othing hollow has ever yet been built | that coula stand the pressure of two great | ice fields coming together. The Fram was designed to avoid the crush oi the ice by allowing herself to be forced up out of water by the pressure upon her sides. The 1ce in the northern seas is not high above water, for it is not made up of icebergs. Icebergs are ‘made only on high shores and break off of glaciers. found so far north. “When De Lon, They are not started out on his ex- pedition an old skipper at the Palace Flo- tel told him that if he got in that north- west current it wouid either carry him to the pole or to the devil. If Nansen got in that current he was subject to either out- come.” ON RELAND'S NATAL DAY The Convention Will Hold the Exercises at Woodward’s Pavilion, K. R. B. Members Preparing to Cele- brate the Anniversary of Emmet’s Birthday. ‘The St. Patrick’s day convention, which met at K. R. B. Hall, corner of O'Farrell and Mason streets, yesterday afternoon, decided to hold the exercises attending the celebration of the anniversary of the apostle of Ireland in the new pavilion at Woodwards Gardens. The exercises will be of a musical and literary nature. There was & large attendance at yester- day’s meeting, and the proceedings were full of life and interest. Thomas R. Ban- nerman occupied the chair, and Robert O’Reilly recorded the minutes of the meet- ing. Several enthusiastic speeches were made | during the afterncon. To judge irom the interestalready aroused over the approach- ing celebration the belief is general among the patriotic members that a large sum will pe realized for the hall fund. Active preparations are also going on for the reception to John F. Finerty, who will lecture at Metropolitan Hall on the evening of March 4, Emmet’s birthday. He will arrive here on March 2. The commit- tee on arrangements will meet at K. R. B. Hall on Wednesday evening. Already a large number of tickets have peen so!d for the lecture. Colonel Finerty’s subject will e ‘“The Life of Robert Em- met.” During his stay in San Francisco the lecturer will be the guest of the K. R. The society will also entertain him at a banquet. SOCIALIST MEETING. Co-operation in the Production, but Not in the Distribution of Wealth., “How and to what extent do we now co-operate?’”’ was the main subject of dis- cussion at the Socialist meeting last night in Pythian Temple at 909 Market street. T. E. Zant was the speaker of " the even- ing. He called attention to the natural co- operation existing in plant and lower ani- mal life, and in the general economy of the forces of nature. But he declared that there is no large social co-operation. Such co-operation as exists in civilized communities is confined to small groups of people engaged in some co-operative production. Although they co-operate in making the product they do not in dis- tributing it; that is the individualistic act of the employer. ¥ Then followed a general expression of ideas by different speakers, particularly noticeable among whom was Mrs. Squires of Oregon, who declared that the Socialists of her State were more thoughtful in're- gard to the topics of the day than her im- mediate auditors 1n this City. E.T. Kings- ley concluded what had become almost a spirited debate. He said that greenbacks are not money because they are merely a printed promise to pay money; that bor- rowed money is the property of the bor- rower because he has traded security for it, which he may or may not at some fu- ture time buy back with the original amount plus the interest; that his hearers had no right to the ballot, the Government being founded on property rights, and none of his auditors owned any property. S —————— Too Much China New Year. T. Makinoto and K. Mochita, two Japanese young men, celebrated the Chinese New Year Yesterday by quarreling after they rereshed themselves too freely. Makinoto, who is 18 years old, chased Mochita out of their house at 1 Chatham place and pursued him down Bush street to Dupont with an open knife in his hand, Officers stopped the race pefore blood ‘was shed and Mochita was arrested for exhibit- ing a deadly weapon ina threatening manner, while the ouject of his wrath, whom he de. scribed as his “very dear friend,” was booked as drunk.
