HONOR PAID TO LISSAS HERDES, Impressive Services Held at the Church of Notre Dame des Victoires. THE BATTLE REVIEWED. Father Larkin’s Graphic Picture | of the “Slav” Army Victory. HEROISM AND- RELIGION. A Strong Parallel Drawn Between the Warriors of Holy Writ and Those Who Die for Home. An appropriate and impressive me- morial service was held in the French Roman Catholic Church of Notre Dame des Victoires, on Bush street, yesterday | morning, 1 honor of the brave Slavonians | who fell at the great battle of Lissa, in the Adriatic, in 1866. The Slavonians, fight- ing under the Austrian flag, were attacked by a force of 32,000 Italians, which was more than twice their number. It wasa| fearful conflict and resulted in a complete | victory for the Austrian forces. The church was tastefully yet simply decorated, and the impressive services were opened by high mass, the Rev. | Emile Gente, 8. M., officiating as cele- brant, the Rev. A. R. Loude, S. M., and | the Rev. Murphy, 8. M., assisting, The attendance was not large, but all those present listened to the services and the strong oration of the Rev. Mr. Larkin with deep interest. He began: “It is the privilege of the warrior who dies in the service of his country to de- serve sympathy and claim regrets which no other mortal has a right to respect. Is not your presence here to-day a living proof of this? Sympathy and regrets have brought you in such numbers to this hallowed sanctuary of Notre Dame des Victoires.” Bketching & short though graphic his- tory of the battle and extolling the valor of thevictorious Slavonians, he continuned: True it is that noble feelings and generous | impulses are common to all times and to ail | people, especially when prompted and de- veloped by religion. 1t is therefore a holy and wholes thought to pray for the dead. And who is more worthy of & precious re- membrance than the noble soldiers who died on the field of honor? Soldiers as brave s those who defended Thermopyl, as courage- ous as the Theban Legion or those that formed the army of Judah Maccabeus, Though inferior in number they did not blanch with fear, they did not fly for satety. History loudly proclaims their courage. Vic- tory does not always belong 1o countless | legions and valor may triumph over unequal | numbers, * * * | i your country and of your country’s flag prompted your soldiers to deedsof hero- | ism. To save ihem from dishonor they nobly | sacrificed rest and comfort, their domestic | happiness and even their lives. They aied | like heroes. But it is not all over wifil these | brave men who fell fighting for the fiag, these | saviors oi their fatherland. Their hearts, it1s | true, are still in death, but the hearts of their countrymen, of their friends and their brothers have not forgotten them. The memory of their virtues, the memory of their deeds shall | never pass 2 MISTERS MOKDA” Three of the Reverend Gather- ings in Interesting Session. Incorporation of the Berkeley Bible Seminary by the Christian Churches. Ministers’ Monday ecalled forth three reverend gatherings —the Presbyterian, Congregatiomal ana Christian—being the only denominations represented at the weekly meetings, The principal event of the day was the | incorporation of the Berkeley Bible Sem- inary by the Christian ministers. ‘Che Berkeley Seminary is the one to take charge of which Professor 8. M. Jefferson came to the college town. It will form an annex to the university in this way, that while its students will acquire theology through the seminary they must depend for their secular education upon the col- lege. Farther than this the seminary will have no connection, actually or theoretic- ally, with the State institution. The directors of the new corporation are: Professor H. D. McAneney, 8an Francisco; Rev. W. A. Gardner, San Francisco; A, M. McCoy, Red Bluff; Rev. J. M. Monroe, Modesto; E. B. Beard, Modesto; Profes- sor A. M. Elston, Berkeley; Rev. A. C. Smithers, Los Angeles, and Rev. E, B. Ware, Santa Rosa. The committee which will have charge of the course of study is composed of Pro- fessor McAneney, Professor Elston and Rev. Mr. Monroe. The endowment of the institution amounts to $80,000, which sum has been contributed by the members of the Christian Church ‘in this State. No permanent site has as yet been selected for the seminary, but one will be as soon as the attendance warrants it. The course will be one of three years, which may be taken as a post graduate course by stu- dents from the college, or during the term may be taken together. The object of it all isto turn out intelligent men for the Christian ministry. Students of any de- nomination will be admitted. At the Congregational Club Rev. W. H. Tubb read a paper on *‘Christian Fellow- | ship.” ~Mr. Tubb thought the church | should be sufficient in itself to satisfy the | spiritnal needs of its members without all v.Ee auxiliaries and annexes which are now the rule. That it was not sufficient, | he said, was shown by the existence of these outside agencies, but he thought it could be made so. Miss Burgess of the Government’s In- dian School of Carlysle, Pa., also ad- dressea the Congregationalists on the sub- ject of her work. 3 At the Presbyterian Club the ministers had a lively discussion on the silver ques- tion. e ———————— Cowardice of Alligators. “The cowardice of alligators is well known by the people who reside along the bayous which were at one time fre- quentéd by the saurians,” said a gentle- man from Southwestern Louisiana. “A great many persons who only know of the alligator by reputstion swallow without a qualm the stories which are so often told about the hairbreadth escapes and re- markable adventures with these reptiles, The truth is that they do not possess suffi- cient courage—the alligators, I mean—to attack a mouse, unless it was chained to struck the country. I entered a skiff, ana, when about half way over, my dog. which I had forgotten, came bounding after me and leap- ing into the water, began to swim across after the boat. Almost immedi- ately several alligators, lying with the tips’ of their noses above the surface, be- gan to move after the dog and soon came Within a few feet of the animal. He re- alized that he was being chased, and pro- ceeded to turn the tables by chasing them. ’He barked and turned to make for the gators, but they got out of his way. Well, the dog and the saurians kept up this per- formance unul the former had crossed the stream. The alligators seemed to be afraid to come within biting distance, al- though it would have been impossible for the dog to have injured them. They were simply afraid, that's sll, and it is always the way with them. I have frequently swam after an alligator myself, and he would invariably turn tailand get out of sight in a hurry. Courage! They haveno more than a goat.”’—New Orleans Times- Democrat. WHAT TO DO NEXT. How a Young Man Got Even With His Too Careful Brother. We are all more or less familiar with that exasperating class of 1ndividuals who seem to ieel that the simple common- sense of the world is centered in them- selves, and that the rest of us are in need of guidance and direction in the simplest duties of life. X Mr. B— was a young man of this class. He was always painfully profuse in details regarding anything he wished done. He had a parrot, of which he was excessively fond, and when he was about to zo abroad for a few months, leaving his bird behind him, he bored and exasperated his family and friends with senseless details regard- ing the care of the parrot, and his last words, screeched from the deck of the steamer that bore him away, were: =‘Hi, Jim!" “What?” sbouted the brother on the ier. *Look out for my parrot!’’ came faintly over the water. As if this was not enough, he had no sooner reached Liverpool than he sent the following cablegram to his brother, who bad assumed charge of the parrot: “‘Be sure and feed my parrot.” On receipt of this the infuriated brother cabled back, at his brother’s expense: ‘I have fed her, but she is hungry again. What shail I do next?”’—Harper's Maga- zine. «THE PERPETUAL CUP." A Clever Ruse on the Part of the Encinal Yacht Club. A Remodeled Defender Which Will Surprise Yachtsmen When She Sails. Some weeks ago the San Francisco Yacht Club challenged the Encinal Yacht Club of Alameda. That challenge was in« spired by the belief that the Encinal fleet had nothing with which to meet success- fully their newly remodeled yacht Cathe- rine. The San Francisco people were further urged to issue the challenge through a desire to redeem their defeat of last season, when their Queen lost the “Perpetual cup” to El Sueno of the Ensinals. The possession of this cup, as its name implies, involves a standing offer to make good the supremacy it attests, and invites challenge. Now the holding of this trophy subjects the Encinals to some conditions, notably that the possessors shall not build or buy any new boat after a challenge has been issued acainst them. The San Franciscos considered this clause, and after having fitted up the Catherine in such shape as seemed good to them challenged with her, complacent in the belief of an assured vic- tory. But the provisions of the cup contest forbidding the purchase of new boats after a chailenge does not exclude the re- medleling ofan old one, and thereby hangs a tale. About three weeks ago it was noticed by those members of the Encinal Club accus- tomed to scrutinize and debate the merits of the boats anchored around the club- | house that tue Fawn was no longeramong | them. Coupled with this fac: was an ex- treme reticence of her officers as to ner whereabouts. A certain air of mystery | seemed to pervade the councils of the club, but the occasion of all this has now transpired. One of the members not on the cup de- fense committee, being of that mental turn generally designated as “of an in- quiring mind,” succeeded in locating the missing craft, and in his pride in this achievement imparted the news unguard- edly and the truth is now out. Itis re- ported that such great chnnfel wrought on her that only t nautically experienced members would recognize in the new yacht the same stick of timber as that of the missing Fawn. A new spoon-bow, a large iron keel and her sail area very much increased are some of the features that have contributed to the change. All this secrecy and ex- penditure of money involved in making the alterations in her rig was designed to afford the members of the S8an Francisco club an unwelcome surprise on the day of the race. The defense committee secured the Fawn at a bargain from one of the members, formed & stock company, subscribed for shares and spent several hundred dollars in refitting her. Each one exults in the surprise_in store for his friend the enemy of 8an Francisco, and would affirm that the race is evér to the swiftest and that the Encinals have now that boat. The contest which will determine the location of the cup for the ensuing year comes off within two or three weeks over the Encinal course. ———————— HIS ONLY BRIET. And His Last Wish Was That It Be Buried With Him. Mr. Lucy, on the authority of a Q. C. and M. P., tells & true story of to-dey, in- finitely full of pathos, says the West- minster Gazette, A forinight ago a letter reached his informent in the handwriting of an old college friend, telling a pitiful story of a stranded life. The writer had been.called to the bar, hoping some day to land on the judicial bench, even if he did not reach the woolsack. He had no influence and verv littie money. No busi- ness came his way, but he held on througn some years, patiently hoping that some day his chance would come. Now he was sick, vrobably unto deach, and had no money to buy food or medicine. A remittance was promptly sent and gratefully acknowledged. At the end of a 1ortnifh= it occurred to the Q. C. and M. P. to call on the sick man and see what more he might do to help him. Arrived at the address, he gave his name and his errand to the ladylike woman who opened the aoor, whereat, bursting into a passion of tears, she told him he was too late. Her husband had died that morning. The two walked upstairs to a small front room. On the bed lay the body of a man of about forty years of age, fully dressed in the wig and gown of a barrister. In his right hand he held a bundle of foolsca “What is that?” the old friend whispere “That,” said the widow, “‘is the oaly brief he received in the course of nineteen years’' waiting. He asked me to dress him iheé bank and couldn’t show fight.

RIPE FOR A REBELLION, Merchants Anxious to Break the Power of the Great Monopolist. AFTER A STEAMSHIP LINE. Strong Efforts to Be Made to Bring the Nippon Yusen Kaisha to San Francisco. San Francisco may aftemall benefit from the mania that has so recently seized upon i the big transportation companies of the Mikado’s empire to establish steamship lines to the American shores of the Pa- cific. In a recent issue of Tar Cavry, it was re- lated how the Nippon Yusen Kaisha was virtually driven from the port of San Francisco to seek an American terminus at Seattle by the failure of its representa- tive to secure satisfactory assuraaces in the matter of rail rates out of Ban Fran- cisco from the Southern Pacific Company. The reason assigned in transportation circles for this discouraging action on the partof the Southern Pacific Company was that it had to protect Collis P. Hunting- ton’s other transportation properties—the Pacific Mail and the Occidental and Ori- ental Steamship companies. When Traffic Manager Stubbs’ atten- tion was called to the matter he declared that no overtures had ever been mads to his company looking to a traffic arrange- ment with any steamship line to be oper- ated by a Japanese company, He added that if there had been his company would have been ready and 1s now ready to make equally . favorable terms with it as are in operation with the Pacific Mail and the Occidental and Oriental companies. He is shortly to have en opportunity to make good his assertion. It is becoming dally more manifest to the commercial bodies of S8an Francisco that for bersize and for her great com- mercial advantages this City has not made commensurate development. Among the most recent movements to change this state of affairs is the plan now under con- sideration by the Chamber of Commerce of sending a representative tp Japan with samples of all manufactures and products that the merchants of this City are in a osition to sell to the Japanese. For the grsv year this agent is to receive a salary of from $3000 to and after that heis to become dependent upan his own eficrts* | to maintain himseif. No man has yet been selected for this responsible position, but the situation is now being canvassed by a committee and as soon as the right man is found little time will be wasted in dispatching him to his post of duty. Meantime the trans-Pacific steamship transportation situation is also attracting the attention of the various commercial bodies, and despite the report that the-! Nippon Yusen Kaisha has already made a contract with the Great Northern Railroad for sending its steamers to Seattle, it is be- ireved that the same.company can be in- duced to establish another line, making San Francisco its terminus on this side, with an auxiliary line from this City to Central and Soutn American ports, Within a few weeks a representative of | the Yusen Kaisha is expected to arrive in this City, He will at_once be placed in communication with W. B, Curtis, man- ager of the Traffic Association, with a view to bringing about the object last | mentioned. Mr. Curtis will fully explain | the magnificent field open for such an en- terprise and will then seek a conference with the Southern Pacific traftic officials, at which himself and the representative of | the Japanese atenmlhig company are to present. Should the conference with the South- ern Pacific fail to result satisfactorily overtures will be made to the directors of the San Francisco and San Joaquin Val- ley Railway, in expectation that that road | will eventually, and at no very distant day, have an outlet to the East; in fact, no | effort will be spared to induce the Nippon Yuen Kaisha to come to San Francisco. Not the least important incentive that will be held out to the Japanese company will be the possibilities of the Central and South American trade. This is now mo- nopolized by the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, and the equipment of this com- pany is notoriously inadequate to meet | the vast demands of that trade. It is the general impression, and one that is daily growing stronger, that not only is the Pacific Mail standing in the way of the full development of the trade between this port and Central and South American countries, -but that its charges are exorbitant on freight to the points to which it now operates from this City. Not long siuce General Manager R. P. Schwerin was approached by a large com- mission merchant and shipper, whose business relations with Central America were extensive, and a suggestion made that & reduction in the present rates to the Sn?gl‘seh-apesking :ioun:rles south of us wou nd to lary stimulate tra with San Francisco. ok it Mr. Schwerin’s laconic and peculiar re- nlY to this was: “Why, we are carrying all the freight that our steamers can pos- sibly accommodate, and to increase this business would mean that we would have to build additional steamers.” It is this kind of enterprise that the commercial bodies of this City are desir- ous of circumventing, and, in con: equence, they will put fortu the most sirenuous efforts to encourage the prospective Jap- anese competitor, which may be induced to operate a line from Yukobama to San Francisco and- from here to Central and South American ports. _In this connection the following rela- tive to the merchant marine interests of Japan and the Nippon Yusen Kaisha is interesting: In 1895 Japan possessed 517 merchant steamers of an_aggregate tonnage of 321,522 tons, and the principal shipping company, the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, or National Mail Sream ship Company, alone possessed o fleet of fifty. seven ocean-going steamers, wi; 101,842 tone g T8, with a tonnage of Their service is splendidl; anized and managed, and the majority o% ?l:gu' ships are in every way fit to rank with those of y nationailty in the world. The further devel- opment of the Japanese mercantile marine is now being very actively promoted, and among the measures advocated as essential {o the in. crease of her commerce fow find greater favor or are more frequently discussed than the ex- ng steam routes and the uisition of & much larger share in e Tying trade to and from her own termo‘:}:l‘.:l —_— s Discoveries in Ohio Mounds.

It ¥s Oausing Much Sickness, Reports F. Durant of London. F. Durant, in his report as chairman of the St. Pancras public health committee, states that upon analysis of three samples of water in which icecream glasses are washed it was found that they contained respectively 4,200,000, 2,150,000 and 5,340, 000 putrefaction bacteria per cubic centi- meter in a cubic centimeter of drinking- water. Hence not only were the cheap icecreams vended in the streets, and mostly consumed by juveniles, frequently unwholesome because of the objectionable materials of which they were composed, but the water used by the venders in con- nection with their business was very often foul. The 8t. Pancras health committee, hav- ing fully investigated the facts of the case over a wide area, hold that the present state of affairs ‘‘undoubtedly constitutes a source of danger to the health of the chil- dren of the poorer classes,’”’ by whom the objecticnable icecreams are mainly con- sumed. The committee considers it is clearly necessary to control street sellers of icecream in their occupation, and they have requested the Local Government Board to promote legislation providing for the registration of these icecream venders, and for the regulation of the trade oy by- laws, and proper supervision of the manu- facture and supply of icecreams. The Vestry of Clerkenwell and other London local authorities have made similar repre- sentations.—London News, * TRANS-PACIFIC - TRAFFIC, Conference to Stimulate the Pas- senger Business To and Through This Port. Prominent Steamship and Railroad Men Meet to Discuss and Devise Pians to This End. With a view to perfecting plans that will retain at least a fair share of the trans- Pacific pi nger business for this port and the transcontinental railroads of the United States, a conference of half a score of the most prominent railroad and steam- ship men of the country was held at the offices of the Pacific Mail Steamship Com- pany, at the corner of First and Market streets, yesterday afternoon. The meeting lasted from 2 to 5 o’clock. Among those present were E. L. Lomax, general passenger agent of the Union Pa- cific; W. B. Kniskern, general passenger agent of the Chicago and Northwestern; J. C. Stubbs, traffic manager of the South- ern Pacific Company; R. A. Donaldson, assistant general passenger agent of the Scuthern Pacific Company; R. P. Schwerin, vice-president and g¥neral man- ager of the Pacific Mail Bteamship Com- pany; D. D. Stubbs, secretary of the Occi- dental and Oriental Steamship Company; Alexander Center, general agent of the Pacific Ma! D. W. Hitchcock, general agent in this City of the Union Pacific and also representing the Occidental and Ori- ental Steamship Company, and T. D. Mc- Kay, who was Apvoinud‘ the joint pas- senger agent of these transvortation com- panies about a year and a half ago. This conference was called to adjust some minor differences which ha: sen in connection with McKay’s end of the line, and to arrange for putting out adver- tising matter and perfecting other details that will aid to bring the traffic to and through the Golden Gate. While McKay bas made an enviable record as a whole, there were some things done that did not meet with the unani- mous approval of his principals. It is now admitted, however, that they resulted from misunderstanding of instructions and are not likely to recur. There is no doubt that McKay will go back to Yoko- hama in a few weeks at the latest and continue at his old post. According to the statement of several of the participants in vesterday’s delibera tions nothins of great public interest was accomplished. The conference will be re- sumed at 9:30 A. M. to-day, and is expected to come to a conclusion this evening. Re- cent competition of the lines north of this port was the cause of this new move orig- inally, and the contemplated establish- ment of one or more new trans-Pacific lines has caused this combination of steamship and railroad lines to exert greater efforts than ever to compat the en- terprise of the more northern competitors. TO SELL GOODS STEADILY. An Experienced Business Man Says That They Must Always Be Uniform. “If you want to sell goods steadily,” declared the man Who always takes two cups of coffee, as he sat over his second cup, discussing the affairs of the world with his table companions, “it is of much more importance that the quality of your wares should be uniform than it is that they should be of high grade or even good.” “Do you mean to tellus,’ asked the New Englander, ‘‘that anybody could find a steady sale for poor goods? " Is the pub- lic a fool 7" “Idon’t have to answer the last ques- tion, but Iwill the first. You know that I am a coffee tester and an expert. Now, did you ever hear how the most famous coffee- house 1n this cnyd‘ot its reputation? You know the place_down in a cellar opposite the postoffice. It has made fortunes for its original proprietor, and now a second generation is getting rich out of it. Well, the foundation of its success was laid in the years of the civil war when coffee was 0 scarce that it cost $1 a pound. “In private houses all sorts of substi- tutes were used, such as chicory, roasted bread crumbs, roasted sweet potatoes, peas, and in fact almost anything which would color the water brown and leave in it a bitter taste. More pretentious places than the one in the ceilar got over the difficulties of furnishing good coffee to their customers by charging ten cents or more a cup for it, but the printers and other workingmen who were the patrons there had fixed the price at five cents, and it would have been ruinous to change it. “Then the protgrlowr bethought hfi; He bought a lotof the rankest-flayored, cheap- est Rio coffee that be could find, mixed this with a goodly quantity of chicory, served the decoction made from this, hot and with plenty of milk, and advertised it as his ‘unapproachable’ coffee, or some- thing of that sort. "'flaon wasn’t another restaurant-kee in the city who would dared to offer such a compound to his customers, and no others tried it. The ‘new coffee’ had a very distinctive flayor of its own, and it drove some old patrons away from the place, but the others drank it and pretty soon began to like it and to sound its praises.”—New York Sun. —————— TaE Kigg of PII's Is Beecham's—BEECHAN'S, PR KING TOLD TALES -0UT OF SCHOOL, How the Patronage of the Supervisors Is Dispensed. FRIENDS IN THE SWIM, A Fat Milk Contract Awarded by the Member From the First. THE MAYOR IS SUSTAINED. No More Street Work Is to Bs Done by Private Contract—Boxing Permits Remanded. The basis on which some of the patron- age that comes under the control of the Board of Supervisors is given out was ex- posed by an admission of Supervisor Joe Kine during the meeting of the board. The contract for supplying miik for the City and County Hospital was under dis- cussion when King, who is chairman of the Hospital Committee, demanaed that the matter be left to that body, intimating that the contract had been given to friends of Supervisor Taylor, chairman of the Finance Committee. The representative of the Eighth Ward retorted by saving that when the Alms- house cows were killed the place was sup- plied with milk at 40 cents per can, until King's committee had considered the mat- ter, and then the price went up to 50 cents per can. This cost the City $150 per month more than under the old arrange- ment. “I understand, moreover, that the con- tract 1s held by a brother-in-law of Super- visor King,” continued Supervisor Taylor, “and that he did not even go through the formality of calling his committee together to ask the other members’ advice when the contract was awarded, but ran the whole business to suit himself.” Supervisor King was pale with rage when he rose to reply, and, as was ex- pected, he began with a denial that any relative of his held the milk contract. In the next breath, however, he admitted that he had given out the contract with- out the knowledge or consent of the other members of the committee and that he had given it to a friend of his. “That patronage belongs to the chair- man of the committee, as I understand it,” be said, “and I gave it where I pleased.” He failed to explain why the price had jumped up 10 cents a can after the friend got the contract. Bupervisor Taylor amended the motion | to refer by adding a provision calling for a report at the next meeting, and in that form the motion was carried. The contract for lighting the public streets for the next two years was awarded to the San Francisco Gas Light Company at 12 cents per night for street gas lamns and 55 cents per night for each electric light in the outlying districts. This is the same price that has been paid for two years past. Police Commissioner Mose Gunst was granted a fifty days’ leave of absence with | permission to leave the State. The protest of property-owners that the | aving on Market street, between Noe and gnutm, 18 in bad condition and should not be accepted, was referred to the Street | p, Committee for investigation. By a vote of 4 to4the Mayor's veto of the order allowing street work to be done by private contract was sustained. Tgu order allowing the Occidental ana Olympic clubs each two permits for box- ing entertainments was referred to the Health and Police Committee for further | coansideration. o STREET IMPROVEMENTS.
