R. B. Hall yesterday afternoon and arrange- ments were almost completed for the great celebration on the 17th. The committee on talent reported that nearly every theater in the City had offered some stars to make the literary musical programme at the Temple a suc- cess, The most important piece of business of the day was the triumph of the friends of Rev. P. C. Yorke and the Monitor in the matter of the anti-prize-fight resolutions. They were adopted by an overwhelming | majority, tue only delezate against them being M. Nichols, who declared himself a prize-fighter and the friend of prize-fights. The following are the resolutions that were adopted: | WaEreas, It has beer made notorious throughout the United States thut a prize-fight { will be held at_Carson, Nev., on next St. Pat- s day; and whereas, this_convention, for the proper celebration of St. Patrick’s day in this City has approval for legitimate and menly sports of all kinds, underrelizble direc- tion, in conformity with the well love of Irishmen for such sporis and their uniform 55 in contests of strength, endurance and : and whereas, & prize-fight, under the | est circumstances, posserses no characteris- tics of true sport, but is repulsive to the best elemen Reso! ‘hat we appesl to our people, to the many smong them who are lovers of true athietic gumes and sports, to discountenance the coming fight, to keep away from it and to repel authoritatively any suggestion that it has the support or approvalof reputeble Irishmen.

The ovccurrence which led up to Jobn- son's dash for iiberty was caused by the carelessness of Jack McNamara, the bailiff- of Judge Campbell's court, when taking & consignment of convicted criminals from the Central police station to jail in the van, He neglected to handcuff Johnson and trio, Johngon’s partner, James Hanly, also charged with burglary, 108 “*hobo’ who was under sentence of ten days for some trivial offense.

The annual services of the Calvarian Society were inaugurated yesterday after- noon aj St. Mary's Cathedral, and will be continued each Sunday throughout Lent. The cathedral was crowded beyona its seating capacity, a fact partially account- ed for by the announcement that the Archbishop would speak. The services opened with the Way of the Cross, celebrated by Rev. Joseph F. Byrne. ‘Archbishop Riordan’s sermon was from the first words of Christ upon the cross— “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” The reverend speaker prefaced his ad- dress with a word picture of the scene of the crucifixion. He divided the spec- tators into three groups. First wera the Roman soldiers, indifferent to the fate of their victim. Then be spoke of the Jew- ish rabble, who, having been taught all tlieir lives to look for a redeemer, hated and spurned him when he came. The third group was that of the faithful and loving, of which Mary was one. Modern analogies were pointed out to each of these groups. Speaking of Christ’s words upon the cross the Archbishop sa “‘A queer place this, perhaps you think, to call God his fatuer. We think of God as judge or avenger or father es our jeel- ings are. Sometlimes when everything seems dark and without hope we are apt to think God has forsaken us or is a long way off. That is why at this moment, bleeding and suffering upon the cross, our Lord wished to emphasize the fact that Goo is always a father, “Love guides all things. We are living under an empire and a rule of love. God is shaping things so thatif we live right all will ba well. ‘Father, forgive them,’ he said. This is the very essenceof the Christian religion and there is no other. Love, forgiveness, charity. If these are not at the root of your religion you are not of Christ, “Forgiving, forgiving, forgiving! Is not that what be is doing all the time and isnot that what we are continualiy asking. Read any page you will of the Old or New Testament and it is always the sume over and over again—charity, charity and forgiveness. **We are brethren of the forgiven ones. He not only asks our Heavenly Father to forgive, but he makes our forgiveness conditional upon forgiving others. How things would cnange if we could carry this £pirit out into the world! Remem- ber, forciveness is no easy thing. Love your friend and hate your enemy was the law under the old law, but our Lord said, ‘No, love thy enemy.’ "’ In his exhortation the Archbishop said that Catholics could not plead ignorance, as divine erace was always pleading with | them. Their only hope was in repen- tance, by which Le advised them to seek God. During the benediction the singing was rendered by the girls of the Technical | School. — HEMPHILL EXPECTS WAR. Good Time to Come Will Follow Awful Carnage of Nations: Rev. Dr. Hemphill talked of war and current warlike imdications last night at the Calvary Presbyterian Church. He took for nis text Isaiah xxi:11-12: Watchma night? Toe watchman said cometh and also the night.” The doctor showed that the watchman’s answer found its fulfiliment in the bistory of nations. A a, Ninevah, Babylon, Lgypt, Israel, Greece, Rome, each ad- vances from the horizon, reaches the zenith, blazes for a while in splendor and then sets in night. And coming to our own f{day we ask the old question, “What of the [night?” and the old what of the The morning answer is true. Poets and prophets have sung of tho good time coming when men shall learn war no more. Very fine words, but do they correspond to fects? To Cuban' and Cretnn facts, Tor examplo? or are they mot rather the rhapsodies of sanguine theorists? So it would seem. We hear the'thunder of war in Cuba and in Crote presaging, 1t; max be, still more d-ead- ful war. We were felicitating ourseives upon the peace u-euiv_ between England and the United States. We were beginning to think that other nations were following our good example and that War_was over 1ot ever. The conclusion is oo hasty. We hear menscing echoes from afar and the creaking of tottering tnrones. Will there be a general war in_ Europe be- cause of the Cretan dificulty, and i1 so what will the end be? Will tucre be o new map of Europe? i God alone can tell. We do not love war. We hate it. We would if we could sheathe the sword of war forever, We would if we could bid carnage away from her cursed carnival, We would if we could stop the Spaniards’ bloody butcheries in Cuba. We wouid stop the Turks' ploody buteheries in Armenia, Crete and elsewhere. And we would stop it without war. Butmaybe we are too hopeful. Prophecy, if 1 read it aright, teaches me that the g od time will not be ushered in peace- fully, but in a horror of great darknessand amid'the terribie thunders of war. Ishould not be surprised if we were on the eveof the most terrible war that the worid has ever seen; nor shouid I be surprised if ail the nations of Europe went into it. We talk of the good time coming—it isa pleasant theme, and all the more pieasant be- cause 1t is true. S0 our text siys: “The moraing cometh”; but it says more—‘'and also the night”’ The good time ushered in will be ushered in as every good time has been ushered in — emid dark and angry clouds, Who ean tell what convulsions and upheavals of nations shall attend the death: throes of old systems and the birth-pungs of new ones? The pheeuix of mew institutions can arise only out of the ashes of the old. Tur- key will be carved sooner orlater. The oid question will ba heard again, “What of the | night?” and the old answer will be n time: “The morning cometh, and also the night.” Gomiog to our own land. It i at once bright witn promise snd dark with threaten- ing, churches multiplying, missionary opera- | tionis extending, benefactions increasing. We congratulate ourselves e8 oniy Americans ean upon our progress. But do we look at the other side of the picture? Do we remembver that our land is beiug invaded by au army from across te seas, most of them inyincible 1o our institutions? that it is under the heel of a most heartiess despotism, the liquor despotizm? thatour politicians, many of them, { are as conscieaceless a set of thieves as ever cursed & nation? that our land swarms with | flery anarchists und sullen socialists, wnose crecd s, “Away with the State and with re- ligion, away with God"? % No; ‘we do not remember. We are blindly optimistic. We say, “The morning comoth'; ‘We forget to finish the sentence, “And also the night.” The speaker concluded with, one hope- ful thought: that as Christisnity by Je inherent power had conquered all enemies in the past it would do so in the future, e AN ALLEGORICAL LESSON. | Bible Story of the Destruction of the Children by the Bears Has a Figurative Meaning. Rev. J. 8. David of the Sweaenborg Mis- sfon Society said in his sermon at Wash- ington Hall yesterday: “When we read the story of the destruction of forty-two | children by 1wo she bears from the wood for the.simple offense of'mogking the rophet Elisha we are apt to wonder why t was written, since it seems to show more cruelty than justice. “But it is one of those ‘dark sayings of old’ which contains aivine truth veiled in allegory; it is one of those Bibe nuts which bas a rough and dusky shell, but when opened is found to coniain meat which nourishes the soul. Like many other strange passages its internal beauty is the evidence of its divinity. It teaches | us that spiritual death from denying in heart and life the letter o1 revealed truth. “As a prophet was a teacher of the word, to mock the prophet is to despise the teachings of the word and live con- trary to them, When this is done the loves of evil ana falsity, emerging from LIGHT FROM MANY PULPITS | | ] the dark forest of our lower nature and waxing bold and fierce, will destroy the children, which are the states of inno- cence undevelopsd and dwaried Dby neglect. The holy prophet seems to curse tiae chiidren, but in reality the holy word never curses any one; for it is the expres- sion of infiniie and _eternal love, which cannot curse, but the perversion or abuse of truth curses and destroys,” sy e SUPERSTITION. Rev. W. Rader Says the Church Is Bursting Away From Tradition and B comIng Rational. The Rev. William Rader of the Third Congregational Church preached a ser- mon on “Superstition’’ yesterday even- ing. Hespoke of the celebrated sermon delivered by the Apostie Paul on Mars Hill in Athens. Part of his discourse was as follows: “A popular preacher walks through the streets of Athens and paus- ing before one of many altars reads the inscription, ‘To the Unknown God.” He passes to the summit of Mars Hill, over- looking that scene of beauty and wealth, while he adaresses an audience of Athen ians on the subject of superstition. The fame of nis eloquence precedes him and ail Athens responds, to listen, to scoff, to turn awav with the trumpet notes of a mighty sermon ringing in their ears, With delicate tact he acuuses these peole of being ‘over-religious.’ Thisis a profoundly true estimate of heathenism, which is not infidelity but perverted rel “Atthe bottom of ail superstition is a certain religious element. We have not vet outgrown the superstition of the past. It expresses itself in a false theology. The unreasonable elements of the faiths of the world have not come from cool reason, but from heated and passionate supersti- tion. Some of these oid dreams bave in- corporated themselves in the religious systems of the world, and the transition that is now going on is a rebellion against a superstitious theology. The current of thought is set against the false.dreams of the fathers. The church is delivering itself from folk lore. It is bursting away from tracition; it is tending toward free- dom. The rational is supplanting the su- verstitions.” el BLESSED THE STATIONS. Passion Pictures Solemnly Blessed at St. Rose’s Church. At St. Rose’'s Church was performed yesterday afternoon the beautiful cere- mony of the canonical erection of the stations of the cross. These stations, which consist of fourteen oil-paintings representing scenes in the life of Christ, were donated by members of the parish. Thev were ail executed under contract by an Eastern firm and are very beautiful. The canvases are 3 feet 10‘inches by 5 feet 6 inches, They are inclosed in Gothic frames of Spanish cedar. The institution of the stations in the churches was due to St. Francis of Assisie, and for this reason a member of the Order of St. Francis is always se- lected, when possible, to conduct the cere- mony of erectine the stations. Father Leo Bruner, O. 8. F., pastor of | 8t. Anthony’s, perform«d this office ves- terday. He preceded the ceremony with asermon, in which he gave a historical sketch of the institution of the stations. He exhorted his hearers to make the way | of the cross as often as possible and to tend the public celebration of this cere- movial on Friday evening during Lent. In the solemn blessing of the stations Father Bruner was assiste¢ by Fathers | Nugent and Keneally. Friends of the Forest. ‘The members of Pioneer and Lincola Parlors who had intended giving a joint entertainment and party, have decided 10 posipone the event uatil afier Lent. LIVELY TIMES ON THE FRONT Whitehall Boats and Tugs Were All in Evi- dence. There Was No Regular Race, but the Boatmen Had a Prac- tice tpin. Another Record Is Brokem by the Alaska Steamer Queen. There were more lively scenes on the bay yvesterday than there have been for many a day. A wuole fleet of whiteball boats were out on a practice cruise, nearly every steam launch and gasoline-boat along the front was in commission, and in spite of the threatening weather all the excursionists had a pleasant time of it. The whit-halls were to have had a race “or blood” at 2 P. M., but when starting time came the wind was light and half a dozen of the boatmen withdrew. Finally a *‘scratch” race was got up, and the tide proving favorable, at least eightof them rounded Blossom Rock in a bunch, They kept close together all the way to the Pres.dio shoal buoy, but there “old man’’ Crowley, in his son’s boat, out-maneu- vered the rest of the contestants and beat them home by at least ten lengths. The real contest will take place next Sunday, and “Jimmy” Sennett and “Snake” Fitz- gerald assert that Crowley and his boat “‘won’t be 1n it The owners of the whitehalls will have to do a considerable amount of maneuver- ing pext Sunday in order to make as pretty a scene as they did vesterday when rounding Blossom Rock for the run to the Presidio. The tug Walter Hackett, with a party from the Western Addition Social and Athletic Club, aiso made a tour of the bay. The party was landed on Angel Tsland, later went to Sausalito and then, alter enjoying a clambake on Goat Island, followed the boats around the course to Fort Point and back, The steam launch Mascott, with young Mr. Talbot aboard, was also out. She has been thoroughly overhauled and repaired and made a most creditable showing, She and the new gasoline launch Lizzie D had a spurt along the front, and when the uarantine launch Governor Perkins, with r. Willlamson and some other members of the Board of Healtb aboard, the race was quite interesting for a few minutes. The Perkins finally carried off the honors, but the Lizzie D and the Mascott, while beaten, were not disgraced. While racing along the front some of | the men had to pull out and_save the pet of all the frequenters of Powell street wharf. “Bum’ is a fine specimen of the Newfoundland dog and while he belongs 10 no one in_particular every one has an interest in him, Yesterday “Bum’ was attacked by a lion.- The iatter thought the dog was after a fish he had secured and a fierce fight ensued. The dog was getting the worst of it and would soon have been hors de combat had not Jimmy Black and Officer Ferguson put out in iwo boats and rescued the dog from the enraged lion. By the time the fight was over at least a dozen bpats were around the scene and the crowd on Powell street wharf was wild with excitement. The ferry steamer Bay City had a nar- Tow escape last night. A barge with a big tank on it broke adrift from the oil works and went ashore near Alviso. The bottom was stove in, but av high water the tank Eicked up the barze and started down the ay. Off Goat Island it was right in the way of the ferry-boatand Captain Bradley had to stop the Bay City ard go *‘full <peed astern’ in order to save a collision. An hour later the tank and barga were high and dry on Goat Island, ‘The Pacific Coast Steamship Company's Queen has brok-n the record between here and Victoria, B. C. The City of Puebla, which is now being overbauled, has made the run in 48 hours and 40 minutes, but, according to a dispatch received by Good- all, Perkins & Co. yesterday, the Queen made the run 1n 46 hours and 50 minu'es. She left here last Tuesday at 9:4) A, M. and arrived in Victoria, B. C., on Thursday at 8:30 A. M., thus beating ali records, The Queen was repaired and had new ma- chinery put in at enormous expense, but now the members of the company.can congratulate themselves on the fact that they have the fastest and one of the best equipped vessels on the Pacific. ‘The Oregzon was crowded with visitors vesterday. If she benot ordered around the Horn at once she wili go to Port Orch- ard 1o bave rolling chocks put on. The latter have been made at Mare Island and will be sent to the naval station on Puget Sound next week where they will be ready for use as soon as the baitle-ship puts in an appearance. Fred Larsen got into trouble on the front yesterday. He raised a row in Al White's and Officers Courneen and Mec- Grath arrested him for disturbing the peace. At the station a long piece of lead- pipe loaded with shot was found in his pocket, so he was also charged with car- rying a concealed weapon. Larsen is mate on one of the coasting steamers and bears & good character. Whitehall Boats and Tugs Made a Lively Scene on the Bay Yesterday, The Tugs Were All On Pleasure Bent, but the Whitehalls Were Trying Their Sails in Order to Be Ready for the Champion Race Next Sunday. THE NEW MARBLE- CUTTERS" UNION Nine Hours’ Work Will Be the Day’s Lahor Hereafter. The California Travertine Com- pany Is Declared a £cab. Workmen Sandstone-Cutters Wili Bz Asked To-Night to Withdraw From City Hall Work. The California Marble Cutters’ and Fin- ishers’ Union met yesterday at 1019} Market street to aiscnss and adopt the by~ laws and rules and regulations, as well as consider the affairs of their new organiz; tion. The main features of the constitution and by-laws that were adopted are: Tiat the initiation fee shall _be $10 after the next Sunday meeting and that all mem- bers shall be citizens of the United States or applicants for naturalization papers. Others applying for membership shall be assessed $50 instead of §10. The montkly dues were set at 25 cents. Nine hours’ work was decided upon and four years' connestion with the trade was demanded as a necessary qualifica- tion for membership. John T. McCann and J. J. Harrigan were appointed with full power to have the by-laws printed. So as to let all the marble workers of this City know of the new union the fol- lowing committee was appointed to call upon them during t.e week: Thomas Quinn, E. Kanucken, Patrick Carroll, James McCarthy, Andrew Malatesta, A. L. Biegler, Thomas Quinn, Con McCarthy, John Sweeney and Juseph Racco, The work being done by the California Travertine Company in the rotunda of the new City Hall was declared to be a scab job, being performed by unskilled and non-union labor, also for working men over eight hours a day in public works. M. J. Flaberty and John T. McCann were apbointed as a committee to attend the meeting of the sandstone cutters to- night, asking theam to withdraw their workmen from the City Hall, where they are at work for the California Travertine Company. A. L, Siezer and J. J. Harrigan were ap- pointed toconfer with the City Hall Com- mission to, .investigate into the marble work at the new hall. Delegate Jonn T, McCann 10 the Build- ing Trades Council reported that the dele- gate from the union had been duly seated. He said: ““The delegates reported to the council the action or the union in regard to the action of same on the work being con- structed in the lower floor of the rotunda of the new City Hall, this union claiming that the work is not doue in a workman- like manuer; that it is being periormed i by unskii.ed iabor, and that the law is | violated; that said contractors are work- ing their men nine hours a day as against the law of construction on public work; that the union men working ou the same work on the same building conform with the law in working eight bours a day. *'‘The delegates also reported that the council referred to the association the resolutions passed by the Carpenters’ Union, relating to resolutions adopted at a mass-meeting held in Metropolitan Hall, Thursday evening, February 25, re- ferring to labor laws refused to be passed by the Legislature and omitted from a re- port of the meeting, as pub.ished iu THE BAN FRANCIECO CALL. Tue council referred the matter to the different trades represented, to be finally acted upon at the next meeting of the council. *‘The delegates also reported that the ction taken by them on outside aud for- gn work and material on public work were approved by the council.” The union insiructed that the delegates to the Trades Council take no action in the war of the newspapers.
