What he intends doing with his contemplated purchates is a matter of conjecture. . The Blvthe estate will not be materially crippled by the loss ot its entire Mexican boldings. “The estate is worth at least | $4,000,000, the lion part of which is com- prised in the block bounded by Grant avenue, Geary and Market streets. In addition to this thereare some'mines in Trinity County and 80,000 acres of land | in San Diego County. Like the Mexican possession the San Diego County portion little value without | irrigating it has been devised. 10 this, however, does not hinge on any conditions to improve it. p Mrs. Hinckley’s attorneys refuse to dis- | cuss th:e probaviiities of the loss of the | | Mexican ho.dings.

When a little one is i expected in the family how lovingly the parents plan together for its future well- fare. They sometimes even forecast its education and career. Does this seem oo early to_anticipate while the child is | yet unborn? It isn't. The child’s des- tiny has already been partly mapped out by Nature according to the disposition and habits of the parents. The best plan & mother can make for the future happi- | ness of hor unborn child is to maintain | her own cheerfulness and health while her child’s undeveloped being is still a part of hers. Her health at this critical | period is of tremendous consequence to | the little one’s whole future existence. Every prospective mother will find direct nourishment, comfort and sustaining strength, in Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Pre- scription. It will maintain her vitalit: both bodily and mental; shorten the peri- od of confinement and make labor easy and almost painless. It imparts strength and elasticity to the organs concerned in par- turition, invests the mother with recuper- ative energy against any after period of weakness and depression, and aids in the secretion of healthy nourishment for the child. It is the unfailing cure of all ““fe- | .male weaknesses.” Dear Doctoy—Your “ Favorite Prescription,” is the best medicine to take before confinement that can be found. It proved so with me. I never suffered so little with any of my children . as 1 did with my last, and she is the healthiest we have. When I began your treatment I could not stand on my iect long enough to wash my dishes . without suffering almost death ; now I doall my housework, washing, cooking, sewing, and every- thing for my family. 10 CELEBRATE O ITS SAINT'S DAY Silver Jubilee of St. Pat- rick’s Church to Be Held March 17. the Bay. St. Francis’ parish comprised the rest of the City. 4 On July 5, 1852, seven Sisters of Charity embarked at New York or their way to San Francisco to take charge of the or- phan asylum, hospital and school. Two of these sisters, Sister Honorine Goodman and Sister Mary Green, died of fever while crossing the Isthmus of Panama, the remaining five—Sister Frances Mc- Ennis, superior; Sister Fidelis Buckley, Sister’ Sebastian Doyle, Sister Bernic Williams and Sister Corsina McKey—ar- rived in Sun Francisco on the steamer Golden Gate on August 18 and immedi- ately took possession of the temporary residence erected for their accommoda- tion.

Twenty-five years ago, when the pres- ent church of St. Patrick's parish was dedicated, Father Grey, who 1s the pres- ent pastor, had then been in charge of the parish for ten years, His assistants at that time were Rev.

The friends of the church and the pastors are legion and they will hasten to co-operate with them in return- ing fitting thanks upon the attainment of such a memorable milestone in the his- tory of the parish. | At the celebration of the coming silver jubilee of the church all the magaificent ceremonies for which the Catholic church is so remarkable will be displayed. The celebration will last three daysand wi il be of a strictly retigious nature. The de- votion will assume the form of & triduum. Besides the devotional exercises there will be three sermons each day, which will be preached by weli-known priests of the diocese. The Very Rev. Father Prendergast, Vicar- General of the archdiocese, will open the triduum with an aporopriate sermon on Sunday evening, March 14, and on the morning of St. Patrick’s day the triduum will be brought toa close by the singing | of the pontifical high mass by his Grace | | Archbishop r. W. Riordan. The sermon at occasion will be preached by the P. C. Yorke, the Chancellor of the archdiocese. A grand musical programme has been specially prepared for the occa- sion by Professor D mann. In connection with this memorable cele- bration somethiig of the history of the vy progress of St Patrick’s Church 1 be of interest. Pentecost Sunday, June 9, 1851, mass was said for the first time in the aistrict | attached 10 Patrick’s Church. The | corated by John ; v: en the only priest in { the City’ of San Francisco who could | preach in the English language. As there was no church in_the district at that time the mass was said 1n a private chapel. Three weeks later Archbishop Alemany, who had assizned Father Maginnis to the district, was presented with a piece of land on which to build a church, orphan asy- ber of parishioners of St. Pairick’s had very much increased also, and it was thought advisable to build another church and use the old one for the ac- commodation of the orphans. Acco; ingly, on June 1, 1854, & new church was commenced, facing on Market street, where the Palace Hotel 1s now, and on Augast 16 following it was opened for divine service by Archbishop Aleman On March 17, 1 Charity arrived in San Franc to share the lapors of the fi since 1851 been attending un school and orphan asylum. ica, who at present” has charge of St. Patrick’s Boys’ School, was one of the five late arrivals.

P. 10 succeed him. A few months afterward Fatber Maginnis retired to Mount St. Joseph's Orphan Asylum, where he died about two years later. The church built for Father Maginnis in 1854 was for many years capable of zc- commodating all the” Catholics of the parish, but in 1868 the number of Catho- lics became so great that the church was 1o ionger able to hold them ali. Then Father Grey bought the grounds on Mis- sion street between Third and Fourth, on which the present imposing editice stands, for $40,000. This church was commenced bishop Alemany the feast of St. Pat- rick, March 17, 1 Hence it is that the silver jubilee, or twenty-fiith anniversary of its aedication, will be celebrated on & Patrick’s day oi this year, St. Patrick’s Church, which was re- placed by the church known at present by that name, was, after the bui'ding of the new structure, moved to Eddy street, between Octavia and Laguna, where, under the title of Si.

He was chased and captured by Poiicemen Irvine and Murrin. During the chase Graves threw away a revolver, which was afterward picked up by the policemen. Detective Harry Reynolds was put on the case and in Graves' room, 319 Eilis street, he found a pair of fieldglas-es and five silver nut picks, stolen_irom the resi- dence of Mrs. Schenck, 4342 Twenty-third street, on February 23. Mrs. Schenck yes- terday identified the articles and also a watch and knife that were found in Graves’ pockets when searched. Graves had aiso in his pocketa wedding- ring and be told the arresting officers that he was to be married to-morrow to the girl of his choice. He und his mother, Mrs. Ida M. Seymour, obtained the mar- riage license Friday morning, and bis mother cave it to the girl, Anna L. M. Steen, 19 years of age, who lives at 319 Ellis street.

No time seems to have been lost in doing so, for by September 1a temporary building was erected which served the purpose both of a church and a school. The school until the arrival of the Sisters of Charity was under the special supervision of Father Maginnis assisted by one lay ‘eacher. . Notice was then sent to all the parish- ioners to meet on the first Sunday of No- vember for the purpose of selecting & patron saiut for their new church. The meeting was accordingly heid and the vast majority of those who came voted that St. Patrick, “'the Apostle of Ireland,” be choscn as the patron saint. Thus, the name of the church and the parish was the free and deliberate choice of the par- ishioners. Ever since then every church in the district has been known as St. Patrick’s. The church having been built and the patron now selected, the Rev. Father Ma- rinnis was, by his Grace Archbishop Ale- many, regularly appointed pastor of the Dew parish on December 22, 1851.
