SKEPTICISM I ITS DU'L PHASE A Powerful Sermon by Father Prendergast at St. Patrick's: Begioning of the Solemn Tri- duum Ce'eb-ating -the Silver Jubiles. The Church a Dream cf Floral Beau!'y. Inspiring Music by the Choir. The deep, mellow notes of the organ in St. Patrick’s Churchjlast evening ushered in the beginning of the solemn triduum to be held ia celebration of the silver jubilee of that sacred edifice, and as the rand, inspiring music reverberatea throughout the spacious structure, it carried (o the minds of the parisnioners an added sig- nificance and inspiration befitting such an occasion. At the hour at which services began sianding room was ata premium. Bach parishioner had received a circular letter from the pastor, Rev. P. J. Grey, notifying him of the fact that St. Patrick’s day of this year wiil be the twenty-fifth anniver- sary of the dedication of the church and the ceremonies to be held. From a decorative standpoint the church | was indeed a dream of beauty. | Sesvices opened by singing of the ve:pers | in English by the choir, Mrs, E. Parent, Miss Belle Higgins and Mr. Messmer, in which the congregation joined, The sermon, A Good Life-a Preserva- tive of Faith,’”” was preached by the Very Rev. J. J. Prendergast, V.G., St. Mary's Cathedral. The preacher was in excellent voice and delivered an eloguent exhorta- tion to his hearers to follow in the straight and narrow path which l-ads to the en- joyment of an eternal elysinm. Taking the life of the *"Man of Galilee” as the standard for a life of moral excel- lence, he quoted the scripture text, “‘Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God,” and then delivered him- self of words suitable toit. The sermon was replete with illusiration and also dwelt largely on the causes and results of skepticism. “Why is it,”” he asked, “that men are unable to recognize the Son of God above the son of man, and Hi« faith above ail buman teaching? There are two rea- sons—or, rather, sources of doubt and un- belief—whatever you choose to cail them. One is in the mind and the other in the heart. These forces sometimes work con- joiutly and sometimes separately.’” The former he thought a willful ten- deancy to viciousness that would tear down if possible even the throne of the Almighty to attain its end. The latter was perhaps due to many causes, among them natural depravity and environment, If all would lead clean, pure lives the faith necessary to salvation wou!ld abound. The preacher advised his hearers not to argue with an unbeliever, because it gen= erally had the effec: of making them more sinful by giving them a chance to bias pheme the Holy Spirit. “Be just,”’ he said in conelusion; *Took to your heavenly Father for aid and in- spiration, and when difficulties and trials oppress you go down on your knees and pray for strength, and faith, like a heaven- Iy tore!:, wiil ever go before you and guide your footsteps.”’ An offertory soprano solo and chorus was then rendered by the choir and Mr, Messmer followed with the tenor solo, ‘O Salutaris.” The Iadies then sang *‘Tan- tum Ego” (Millet). Father Brennan officiated in the bene- diction and was assisted by Father Keane. The services for to-day and to-morrow were fully published in yesterday’s CALL. JUMPED INTD THE St A Seaman, Tired of Life, Tries to End It in the Ocean Waves. The Big Barbecus at the Chautes by the Society of Old Friends Draws a Crowd There was a great crowd at the ocean beach yesterday, but one among the throng was not seeking pleasure. John Halpin, an eugineer of the French steam- er Madeleine, tried to end his Jife by delib- erstely walking out into the sarf. He failed in his effort, for the waves threw nim back toward the shore, and he was pulied out in a dazed condition, but not much hurt. J. Rudolph, of 3170 Eixteenth street, a driver of the fire department, rescued the rash engineer and deserves much credit for his action. The would-be suicide was warmed up with a drink and kept briskly wnlkin§ to put his blood in circulation, while Rudolph went to telephone for the Park ambulance. Mounted Police Officer Scnaeffer reached the scene before the ambulance and took charge of the engi- neer. He says that the rescued man bad been drinking, but was rot drunk. He seemed dazed for a good while, and when he was able to talk clearly he requestea that he be sent to the hospital for a few days. Schaeffer proposed taking him to yis ship, but the man, tapping his head sg- nificantly, said it was safer for him to be confined in the hospital for a while, be- cause a spell might come back upon bim that would again tempt him to self-de- struction. he ‘policeman thought he seemed demented, and Dr. Wymore, who went after him with the Park ambulance, also considered him deranged. He was sent to the Receiving Hospital. Halpin asked that the matter be re- ported to his ship, but zave no reason for wi<hing to kill himself. The attempt was made opposite one of the saloons on the beach. The park was thronged with people en- joying the bright sunshine yesterday. One of the most attractive spots was Stow Lake, with its waves whitened here and there by the sais of numbers of toy yachts. They were made to cross and recross with much swiitness and pre- cision. The balustrade of the new bridge is now so far completed as to show that it will be one of the chief ornaments of the ark, p1n the forenoon a boy named G. H. Fieming of 122 Taylor street was acci- dentally struck a severe blow on the temple with a bat. He was sent to the Receiving Hospital, buc the injury was not considered dangerous. At the Sutro Baths the usual aquatic sports took place, with the addition of a new feature by Schulte called the “drown- ing act. A large crowd attended the Chutes, and the Society of Old Friends made a great success of their barbecue. Thev had three roasted oxen and a num ber of sheep and bogs. The president of this society, Thomas Bawyer, is an old acquaintance of Mark Twain, ¢he name of “Tom Bawyer” in Twain’ 4AIBOUS §10T7 WaS. taken. and it was from him mnl The American Bark Carrollton, Fiom Nanaimo, B. C,, Made a Picturesque Entrance Into Port Last Friday Night. She Did Not Fare as Well the Following Night, However, as She Dragged Her Anchor and Collided With the Oregon. BARK CARROLTON WAS IN TROUBLE After Making a Picturesque Entry She Went Adrift. Collided With the Battle-Ship Oregon, but Did Very Little Damage. The Whitehall Boatm>n Had Anotber Ex-iting Race on the Bay Yesterday. The American bark Carrolton made a most picturesque entry into port last Fri- day, but she did not look so well yester- day morning when she was afoul of the battle-ship Oregon. The red-stack tug Sea King separated the two vessels and the Carrolton is again at her anchorage, As the Carrolton was making the Golden Gate the moon broke through the clouds and showed her the way in. She was brought to an anchor off Folsom-street wharf, but during the night fouled her anchor. The turn of the tide set her adrift, and the first thing the crew knew about the accident was when she bumped up against the Oregon. Neither vessel was damaged to any extent and the Car- rolton will dock to-day to discharge her cargo of coal. There was another race among the boat- men yesterday. The course was around Blossom Rock, thence 1o the Presidio buoy and back to Meiggs whart, the start- ing point. Those who entered were: Thomas Hayden, James rarrell, H. Benjes, Albert Heyer, James Sennett, John Cane, A. O'Connell, Harry Johnson, Thomas Lyons, Thomas Murray, Dave Crowley Jr. and Dave Fitzgerald. The race was an exciting one from the start, snd on several occasions the boats were so bunched that a leader could not be picked. Off the Presidio Sennett and Hayden got into difficulties and both had to retire from the race. Sennett carried away his jio-balyards, and Hayden cracked his boom. The race was finally won by Dave Crow- ley Jr., with H. Benjes second and T. Lyons third. Next Sunday there will be a match race for $50 a side between D. Crowley Sr. and W. F. Fitzgerald. The former will sail the new whitehall Stewart Menzies and the latter will pilot the old-time Captaic James Sennett. Either one or the other of the boats named has always won in the Fourth of July regattas and now the quesiion of supremacy is to be settied once for all. The schooner Muriel got in from Hilo yesterdav aftera fair passage of twenty- four days. Captain Carlson is more than pleased with the performance of his ves- sel, as he says he fairiy and squarely out- wailed the champion of the fleet, the J. D. Spreckels. The brig and schooner were in company for twenty-four hours, and then the Muriel caught the wind and rap- idly drew away. It will be long, however, before he comes anywhere near the Boreckels’ record of trip after trip in ten, eleven and twelve days. The schooner yacht Lurline made her first cruise of the season yesterday. was commanded by John "D. Sprec! person, and_his guests were Charles Mer- till, Grove P. Ayers, Walter Gibson and John E. Dow. The party went oulside the heads and had a delightful run out to the Faralions, On the return trip and when entering the Golden Gate the wind fell light and the tide, running }ke & millrace, carried the veasel close to Point Bonita. Some skill- ful bandling took her into a safe position, however, and, the wind freshening, an- other hour saw her safe at her Bausalito anchorage. Ail the Market-street car lines were blocked for haif an hour yesterday. A trench bad been cut half way across the street at Steuart street in or to repair the er, and to pass it the horsecars be pushed across, while the horses were led around the ditch and rehitched on the other side. On one of the cars the brakes did not act and the horse was pushed into the ditcn. After great labor the animal was got on his feet, but it was tn hours before he was got out by means of a derrick. - In the meantime he had to stand in the ‘ditch and the cars passed £nd repassed over him continu- ously. When finally cot out he was not much the worse for his incarceration, save for a few scratches ou his back and legs.

No Satisfaction Can Be Had From the City Hall Com- missioners. Obj.ctioa Is B ing Rai;eri to the Scab Work Doze by the California Travertine Company. The final charter meeting of the Marble Cutters and Finishers' Union of San Francisco was held yesterday after- noon, Thomas Christal presiding, Jame Shannon and John McCann officiating as secretaries. The membership-roll was swelled from 75 to 130, and hereafter an admission fee of $10 will be charged for all applicants who are citizens or who have applied for citizenship and $30 for all aliens, The union has but one serious griev- ance, according to the committes reports turned in yesterday. It is in regard to the work heing done at the City Hali. A committee from the union called upon the City Hall Commissioners last Baturday and explained that of the three contractors McCormack and Tanghi, and the Inyo Marble Company were the only two who were carrying out their recorded contracts. The other coucern—the Cali- fornia Travertine Company—was not per- forming proper work and was employing ecab labor. The ccmmittee received no satisfaction, snd the union prope: to swear to an affidavit showing where the Ciiy is being mulcted to the extent of nearly $15,000 and ask for an investigation by the Grand Jur: MITOHELL THE PHENOMENON, California Billardist Will Ee Backed Against the Eastern Playe: Mitchell, the amateur billiardist who has been distingunishing himself recently at the Occidental Hotel in the Brunswick- Balke-Collender Company 14-inch balk line tournamert, seems to have all his own way for the main trophy. Heinecke, the only other scratch man, is s victim of stage fright and has not been able before an audience to play anywhere near his usual form. Captain Willlams, representing the Brunswick-Balke-Collender Company of Chicago in this City, contemplates get. ting Napoleon lves, Jake Schaefer and Slosson out here as soon as their Eastern engagements are at an end, and Mitchell will be played against them. The young Californian nas been playing & phenomenal balk-line game and he 1s improving every day. It is confidently expected that within a few months he will be fully able to take care of his end even with the Eastern cracks. The tournament will be resumed to- night. CYCLE RACERS MADE FAST TIME Road Events and Relay Try-Outs of Some Wheel- * ing Clubs. R. A. Coulter of the California Club Covered Ten Miles in 27:04 The Imperial, Al:m da, Bay City, Olympic and California Clubs All Held Races. The annual 100-mile relay race of the California Associated Cycling Clubs will be held S8unday, April 4, and will be con- tested between probably twelve clubs this year. These clubs are preparing and se- lecting their ten-men teams now, and al- most every Sunday sees some road races or “try outs' held Lo test the speed and endurance of Lhe candid ates for positions on the teams. Yesterday there were five of these events, three being over the Fruitvale- Haywards course and two over the third relay, through San Mateo and San Carlos. The Imperial Cyzhing Club’s race had the most starters and the most accidents and is therefore worthy of first mention, although the California Club made the fastest time. The Imperial’s was a ten- mile handicap ride, and to spur the riders on 1o greater efforts a goodly prizelist was hung up, a feature that was iacking in the races beld by the other clubs. They startea from High street, Fruit- t 11 A. M., and three of the scraich i ok and Bozio—finished in 27 min. 29 wec., though the timers sep- arated them by filths ana there was a dif- ference of incnes tetween them. Two other scratch men—Barley and Cook— xmet with an accident and finished nearly last. Egan and Cordy also fell, but bor- rowed other wheels and finished well up in the bunch. The following is the summary: CONTESTANT. **-zoquny M M. Coo 3 Winsibw ‘I'he officials of the Imperial race we: W. H. Tooker, referee; George J. Panario, E. F.

Considerable speed was shown by some of the men in each. Kragness made the fastest time for the Olympios, 28:30, and E. F. Russ was sec- ond best with 29:00, the others being close behind him. . The California Cycling Club’s event was over the third relay, from San Mateo to Menlo Park. The riders fought a strong wind a part of the way, but this did not seem to effect them much. for remarkably good time was made. Kach man rode alore and unpaced, and Coulier’s' time ot 27:04 was very fast under the conditions. The following is the table: Net riding Ume. CONTESTANT. R. A. Coulter. The Bay City Wheeimen held a five- mile handicap race from Ban Mateo to San Carlos. C. W.' Btill won, with tnree minutes’ handican, and Charles A, Kraft made best time, 12:27. The agreeable weather yesterday drew crowds of wheelmen to the park. Many have not ventured country riding yei, though the roads are now in very lair condition. ‘The indoor tournament which is to open at the Mechanics’ Paviiion next Saturday night has excited considerable interest among the local riders ana a large number of entries ave been sent in. No entries will be received after to-morrow night. Full particulars of the meet were given in THE CALL last Saturday. ——— NO MORE LEAGUE. A New Organization of Cyclers to Be Formed on This Coast. The movement that was started and took root among the wheelmen some six vears ago has matured and become fruit- ful and within a few days the cycling State will have separated from the League of American Wheelmen and formed an organization of their own. Though the league has a large member- ship in California there has always been dissatisfaction becanse of the few benefits NEW TO-DAY. VARICOCELE TW!BTED, S8WOLLEN, PAINFUL, WEAKENING IN ITS EFFECTS UPON the vital powers, the direct cause of thousands of cases of general nervous ex- haustion, debility and decay. This is Varicoce! in the veins of the vital parts. It is perhaps the most dangerous of the many results of early indiscretions, 1t drains the vital powers in that slow, treacherous manner which leaves no sign of its terrible eff ct until the awful work is done—until the whole nerve force, the foundation of mental, pbysical and vital strength is und. ermined and manhood destroyed. Doctors have tried every known means in their attempts to cure it, and have usually given it up with the advice tkat it will not be a serious matter. But this is only their way of excusing themselves for their helplessness. It is a serious matter, as has been proven by the thousands of physical wrecks it has caused. But it can be cured by DR, SANDEN’S ELECTRIC BELT. No remedy is 8o effective in restoring the vigor of youth as electricity. and Dr. Sanden’s Electric Belt has made a grand series of triumphs in this directich.

The refusal of the league to sanction Bunday racing was the last siraw that ‘““broke the camel’s back,” and within a short time 1000 California members will refuse to renew their membership, and many bave already done so. . The league on this coast is dead, and Phonix-like a new organization has risen and wheeling interests will not suffer. The plan now being discussed is to form a Btate organization with the Caiifornia Associated Cycliag ¢ lubs as a b and gradualiy widen its scope until it takes ti.e place of the league. A meeting wiil be held at the club- house of t.e Bay City Wheelmen on Fri- day evening next at which the plan will be matured and definite arrangements made For th* present the only change con- templated in the by-laws of the organiza- tion is the insertion of a clause providing for a committee on track racing, a matier which is not now recognized by the asso- ciation. Delegates from all of the prominent clubs in the State will be present, and all are in_line on the question of disco: tinuing their membership to the league 1t is not expected that there will be any hitch in the proceedings. The Associated Cyiing Clubs is the most successful organization of the kind ever formed in America, and the success of the past augurs well for the future. There are now nineteen clubs, with an aggregate membership of 1600 enrotled, and this will likely be increasea as the objecis of the new movement are kiown. The association does not anticivate re- fusals on the part of the feague because of the withdrawals, but if the records of the new organization should be refused apphi- cation will be made to the Amateur Ath- letic Association, and its sanction will be quite as satisfactory as that of the league. Colorado, New Mexico and wheelmen from all other States hav e same griev- ances against the league as those of Cali- fornis, and it is expected that they will follow in the wake of the cyclists of this State. An alliance of the Western States and Territories is not improvabie, with a mutnal understanding as to rules. This would answer all the purposes now served by the league. At the next regular meeting of the Imperials, this evening, the Oiympic cup, which was won by them in the recent 25-mile road race, will be pre- sented by President Swain of the Asso- ciated Clubs, and the prizes won in the Imperials’ road race of to-morrow will also be distributed. The social committee has prepared a little entertainment, so thata visit to the clubrooms this evening will be well repaid. THE THEATRICAL WORLD. An Xdea of What Is to Be Offered to those Who May Wish to Go to Play-Houses To-Night.
