She had light but favorable winds until almost within sight of this coast, 'when she got a taste, and a strong one, of the gales that have been humming over this side of the Pacific. Last Wednesday morning the bark got into the coast storm belt and begen to get a heavy blow from the north-northwest. Captain Knight was steering east-north- east for S8an Francisco, consequently with the wind about four points on his port bow he was preity close-hauled. He had to carry all the sail his sticks could bear to make all tbe northing possible. All the light canvas was taken in and the ship was under lower courses, topsails, jiband fore- { stavsail. That afternoon the mainsail flew into ribbons and soon after every rag of it ripped clear out of the bolt ropes. that evening the foresail went and later on the lower foretopsail and miz- zen staysail followed it away into the dark to leeward. The vessel was almost without sail and | the crew tried to bend a new foresail, They got the big new piece of canvas up on deck, but the sea was running so high and the water coming over the weather bow in such volume thai the men were driven from their task. All night the stanch bark labored with what sail she had in the greatest peril. The captain’s wife and daughter were on put in five honrs | board: also Mrs. Harriet Castle-Coleman, event was the | Miss Carrie Castle, Miss Kate Gilbert, Miss Lela Craig and John H. Curtis, pas- sengers from Honolulu. The cabin skylights, though protected by strong shutters, were broken in by the boarding seas, and the six ladies passed that awful night wading through the wa'er in their staterooms below. Al! next day the storm continued, with the wind veering to the northwest. The seas smashed the forward rail, a small boat on the house and the wind desiroyed ight Id get hoid of. wu clear out r gaskets as cleanly as if cut away with a knife. Notwithstanding the eale and high seas, the good bark stood up to her work, and Friday evening the Farailons were sighted dead ahead. Captain Knight ran in under the 1sland and waited for daylight. Next worning he steered for the Golden Gate and, refusing a pilot or tug, sailed into ort with bis chart spread out in the wheelhouse. ‘*This is my first visit to San Francisco,” said Captain Knig t yesterday, “but I don't think I shall ever forget my ex- perience off this port, for in all my sea life I never met with such a blowand with such high seas. With my entire family and four lady paesengers aboard as weil as my crew and ship, vou may well imegine how anxious I was. A storm cn the California coast 1s something for navigators to respect. ‘I see that one of the papers has quoted me as :Peu};mg lightly in Honolulu just before I sailed of the speed and work of the island packets. This yarn is utterly without foundation. 1 am'too old a sailor not to know that a sailing vessel is at the mercy of the wind, and will make just such a passage as the breeze will let her.” Mrs. Knight has made thirteen trips around the Horn and four around the Cape of Good Hope and now thinks she has had enough of the sea. “After the gale of the last few days 1 feel that I would prefer the stormy Horn with all its dismal horrors. Idon’t be- lieve I will ever get this saloon and the staterooms dried out,’”’ said she, looking hopelessly around the apartment, where the sunshine, streaming in through the windows, was trying its best to make the place look cheerful again. G. B. Knight, the captain’s son, is the first ofiicer of the bark, and Mrs. Ida Robinson, the skipper’s daughter, is the navigator. She iswell educated, and being a widow without a family of her own, pre- fers to go to sea with Ler parents and brother.

R R s 3 Rev. Father Barnum, S. J., in His Arctic Dress, Preaching in the Pulpit of St. Mary’s Cathedral. [Sketched by a *“ Call” artist.] PRIEST IN ARCTIC FURS, Father Barnum, S. J., Preaches on the Jesuit Missiens in Alaska. The Northern Race Takes Kindly to the Strangers—Sisters Amid the Ice and Snow. The spectacle of a priest clad in gray furs the same as Esquimaux use to keep their bodies warm was presented i the pulpit of St.Mary’s Cathedral at late mass yesterday. From a short distance in the dim light he appeared more like a dweller of the Aretic than a distinguished and scholarly priest. The fur hood was thrown back upon his | shoulders, but the coat was buttoned close about him. A brass crucifix hanging in front was the only sign that the preacher was a soldier of Christ. He was the Rev. Father Barnum, S. J., one of the Catholic missionaries in Alaska. His discourse was confined to the labors ot the Jesuit fathers in Alaska and the Catbo- lic missions there. The subject was in- | troduced by a reference to the command of Christ to his apostles to “zo forth and teach all nations.” *“1he apostles went into the world teach- ing all things revealed to them and their disciples have never ceased until to-day there is extended around the worid a chain oi Catholic altars where the divine sacri- fice of the mass is offered to God. “‘Until a few years ago,” said Father Barnum, “the great empire of Alaska was an unknown land to missionaries. It was the noble prelate, Archbishop Seghers, who first planted the cross in Alaska among the Esquimaux. He gave the mis- sion into the bands of the Society of Jesus. To-day there are twelve mission stations, ten fathers of the Society of Jesus and seventeen sisters of the Society of St. Anne, spreading our holy faith in the arctic. The missions are divided among whites, Esquimaux and the Indians on the coast. “The Alaskan mission is one of our own, 8n American mission at our own doors. | You cannot imagine the misery of the desolate, dreary arctic solitude where the Esquimaux dwell. Onlyonce a year have we communication with'the outside world. In July the ice breaks up and a steamer comes in from San Francisco. But then we have the solitude, the utter silence, the desolation and loneliness of the arctic reizion for another winter. . The terrible cold, frequently as low as 80 below zero, we have to endure without any of the scientific appliances you have here—steam heaters, stoves, etc. We must stand it off as best we can. In the few weeks of sum- mer we gather all the drift wood ourselves along the coast, but we can never get enough to fully supply us for cookmng and heating during the long winter. “Our log huts we built ourselves, and you may imagine what kind of houses riests, who are not carpenters, could uild. Our clothes are such as you see on me, but this is a make-believe.” We must wear three such coats as this one, severul stockings and bunches of grass in our boots. We never get butter, milk or the many articles of iood we were accustomed 0. Beans and rice form ourstandard food with the products of the country, fish and seal, after we get used to seal meat. Buta man bas to serve a hardy apprenticeship, to be witnout food for & day or two before he can get used to a chunk of seal. Still seal meat is very welcome to us, **The Esquimaux eat all their food raw. They are a svlencid people — inteili- gent, docile, kind-hearted, devoted to their children, but when one of them grows too old his friends smother him— not through any mercenary motive, but ecause they don’t want their old people to suffer. They put his body on a mat, roll it up and cover it in some corner of the ice, where it lies until some polar bear comes along. Each polar bear serves for a family vault in the neighborhooa he ranges over. “I never yet saw a sign of ill humor a mong them. They coax their children but never vunish em. We always find parents willing to have their children baptized and to be ll\:fht their prayers. In the beginning they did not know what we were there for. Thay took us for trad- ers and when we refused their skins they were surprised. Now they know us and call us priests.” | | | | | | BY THE SCUNDING SEA, The Blossoming of the Gir} With the White Dude Hat and Shirt Waist. San Jose and San Francisco Benevolent Societies Have a Highly Successful Outing at Germania Park. All hail the girl with the white dude hat and the masculine shirt waist. Hail, too, the youth with the broad-brimmed straw and the yellow shoes. He may not be as pleasant to look upon, but he has come and we might justas well hail him. For the picnic season is with us. At Harbor View yesterday there were scores of picnickers. The breeze blew in strong from the ocean, but the girl with the Julyd ress only to-sed back her crimps and clutched at her skirts while her escort got a death grip on his new dollar hat. A breeze by the ocean side on a sunny day is not altogether disagreeable. Itis so sug- gestive of health and vigor and of the beautiful broad expanse of eundless blue beyond the Gate that the young man who slaves in the fetid atmosphere of shop, store or office all the week feels his chest expanding as he breathes in the rare elixir. and his fair companion knows that the zephyrs apply a daintier rouge than can be purchased of the apothecary. Out on the bay a little white yacht scuds along the white spotless water. The French branch of the Labor Social- ists’ Society held forth at Harbor View Park yesterday. They area jolly crowd of French men and women, though jolly, of course, is not just the word in the latter case. The men somehow look as if they would only be in their element with their feet ensconced under a festive board laden with good things, including plenty of dark bottles, and with napkins tucked under their chins. And that means that they look like a crowd of jolly good fellows who enjoy the good things of life. They were nota hilarious crowd, however. The ma- jority of their gathering of 500 or 600 was composed of tamily groups, wha stroiled about the grounds or stood down by the beach and watched the ships and the pleasure craft on the bay. At Germania Park there was a gathering of about 1500—about all the grounds could well accommodate. The Austrian be- nevolent societies of San Francisco and Jose were having a reunion. The San Jose society is very strong numerically, and in the history of the order not a member has ever missed a picnic without a better ex- cuse than would be required to relieve him of jury duty. About 600 came up from San Jose yesterday, and that included every man whose name ends with ‘“‘itch” within a radius of fhfteen miles of the Garden City. 4 One of the attractive features of the Aus- trian outing was the tombola drawing. Over 150 prizes had been donated by friends of the society, and these were dis- tributed}by raffle. A. ‘Sunglich, the jovial president of the San Francisco society, raf- fled off the tombola tickets. He enticed his Slavonian brethren into taking their chances with the ivory with the sang froid of a born spieler. The affair was decidedly successful. As at Harbor View Park, there was an absence of rowdyism, which reflected great credit upon those managing the affair. The committee 1n charge consisted of X. L. Lindwall chlil’m&ll}. George Capriviza, Anton Cunicich, L. J. Radovich, A, Fran- covich, Augusi Kiselich and P. A. Go- heneix of San Francisco, and A. Baroje chairman), Viaho Zicovich and A. An- ticevich of San Jose. There were a few private picnics in the vicinity. Among others a number of Norwegians enjoyed trips to the Ocean sideasa fining tinale of their celebration of the eightieth anniversary of Norwegian independence. The main celebration was held at Saratoga Hall Saturday night and yesterday morning. The programme con- sisted of a farce, under the direction of Halfdan Groetschier. This was followed by a banquet, with appropriate toasts. —_— Dr. Brown and the Endeavorers.

Russell's Ver- sion of the History of Catholicism. ITS GROWTH GRADUAL. Denounces the Claim That It Sprang Fuil Fledged Into Existence. RESPECTS TO FATHER YORKE. That Gentleman Taken to Task for His Remarks Concerning the Protestant Clergymen. Rev. A. M. Russell of the Hamilion- square Baptist Church was the drawing card at the Good Citizenship meeting at Metropolitan Hall yesterday. His address was preceded by the customary prelimi- naries and a patriotic vocal solo by Miss Emma Russell. In his opening remarks Chairman Quit- zow said: We are pleased to welcome you here again to-day. We realize the fact that our growing strength is creating alarm among the enemy to free thought, enlightenment, patriotism and broad Americanism. Somebody’s bull hes been gored, judging irom the bellowing of some obscure advocates of superstition and enemies of progression. They cannot bear the searchlight of intelli- gence turned upon them, and their malicious spirit is aroused when the truth is spoken of them. They are constrained to ackrowledge our success and that the masses of the intelli- gent people are being convinced of the justice of our principles, and that in alding us to sus- tain our humanitarian teachihg they are as- sisting in the furtherance of the greatest good 1o the greatest number. This is a movement of tne people—one that will relieve them of the oppression of design- ing ecclesiastical and political slavery, and which will secure to all the right to exer- cise end foliow thedictates of their own con- science, The opponent, who can only resort to vilifi- cation, to the use of filthy epithets, and who stigmatizes all that is said as a lie, because he cannot meet his antagonist with sound argu- ment, will be compellea to receive the just censure of his fellow-man. Why are the sdvoeates of a lost cause so inceused at the advancement of the right, so agitated at the present time? It is because they read the writings on the wall; they real ize that they can no longer deprive the people of their just rights; that the people will think, and that by thinking they will recog- nize who are their true and unselfish friends. The present political enlightenmentof the people is & thorn in the side of those who have so long deceived them, and have reaped a golden harvest as the fruits of their deceit. They realize that the day of retribution is at hand and that they can no longer thrive on their ill-gotten gains. When the source of their vast revenue is cut off you will see the dishonest deceivers of the masses leaving the monasteries, parochisl schools and pretended places of worship and turning State’s evidence, resulting in a full presentation of the evidence on the part of honesty and good-will to man, and bringing with it the restoration of the free and untram- meled enjoyment of all the benéfits secured to the American people by the Coustitution of our country. Another cause of congratulation is that we have actually captured the Catholic Church. It was not 20 long ago that they refused to permit the remains of en old soldier to be car- ried 1nto their enurch because it was wrapped in the American flag, but ging to have our old veterans taken into their edifices, and even ask them to bring along their fife and drums, and insist upon the American flag being used to enwrap the cas- ket. To this change of heart we have con- verted them by souad argument. Rev. A. M. Russell was then introduced, and began by saying: Before taking up the subject proper of my address T think I should be as polite as Mr. Yorke has been and first pay my respects to him. He says T am utterly unknown and very ignorant and that he has taken it qun him- self 10 do me the service of making me known. Now, if I am such & poor, little, weak thing wouldn’t* the great giant crush me under his paw, or is he masquerading under a lamb’s skin, and when he opens his mouth does he not betray what he rell'nly is? For his high talents I have the greatest re- spect; for his billingsgate 1 have the most supreme contempt. It smells of the _fish market. About three weeks ago I came here to try and help the Catholics. Wouldn’t he now give one Sunday afternoon to help the cagse of the A. P. A. by coming here and speaking toyou? Iam sure he ought toend Iam sure, 100, that he could tell you many things of which neither you nor I have at present any knowl- edge. He could bnnfim-ny things out of the dark and into the light which would en- lighten us. it 15 a dastardly thing to have secret so- cieties, such as the A. P. A., but it is all right in the case of the Y. M. L He then threw up to me my poverty. In this connection 1 cannot help thinking that he and his kind would not be so rich if the had not so many dextrous—what shalll call it (appealing to the audience)? "Hifhwny robbery,’” shouted a voice in the gallery. “I'will take the words suggested,” said the speaker, and then continued after a pause, ‘‘of the living and the dead.” He thea referred toa published report that Bishop Ireland had lost $1,C00,000 in aland speculation as substantiating his claim that the priesthood of the Catholic church were seeking to enrich themselves at the expense of their parishioners. He continued : My lecture is simply on this topie, “Where did Romenism come from; or the history of the great Roman Hierarchy? The Roman Catholic church etands to-da; about the best organized body in_the world, and she has any amount of wealth, but it does not belong to the common people. The idea that a Bishop should lose $1,000,000 in & 1and deal shows how well they are intrenched. They have millions and millions stored away, and all in the hands of the priets and higher church officials. The Roman_ Catholic church is not the church of the New Testament, The church of the New Testament has no_head except Jesus Christ. The church of the New Testament has 10 rites of a spectasular nature: has no bowing to images, has no confession except to God. Neither has it any purgs torial fire. It has hell fire, but the Catholics have added an extra furnace. There is no temporal power or authorityvested in any one by the New Testament, and if Rome were religiously right she would not be politi- 1ly wrong. “W en ym!a hear any man say that the Roman Catholic church came full-fledged from Jesus Christ you may put him down asa foolor a knave. Romanism is the result of a vast aggregation of circumsiances extending through many centuries. The speaker then described in detail the evolution of the Roman Cathohic church and the priesthood in connection there- with. He declared that priests were made a part of the machinery of the Roman Cotholic church to conciliate and attract the Jews and pagans, and that “*patronage, power and persecution” have been the in- spiring motives of the church and its ad- herents. s Rev. Mr. Russell then denounced as in- excusable and unchristian the practice i e attributed to the Catholic church aunthori- ties of exhibiting the coat in wnich Christ was said to_have been crucified and tue cross on which he expired. He stated that ow they are beg- | this was done simply to gull the peopleand to make profitaple trathe out of these and similar alleged holy relics of the Savior. THE THEATERS.
