Ford’'s Remarkable Departure From Beaten Paths. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH UP TO DATE. » A Pastor Who Believes That Sunday Was Made for Man, Not Man for Sunday. FREELY SPEAKS HIS MIND ON ORTHODCXY. Will Be Held in Some Pretty Spot ani a Basket Lunch Will Be Held. Rev. Dr. Frank 8. Ford of the First Christian Church is nothing if not origi- nal. He proposes to boid a Sunday pic- nic soon. “Not the regulation picaic,” he says, “'for we will hold our regular ser- vices, have a sermon and all the rest of it, you know. Why shouldn’t they be held in the open air? Every one concerned would enjoy them more, I am sare. I be- lieve Sunasy was made for man, not man for Sunday. 0t course we will have a iunch,” he| In fact, it will be an old-fashionsd basket party.’’ Mr. Ford does not expect a great deal of | criticism on the proposition; he reaily doesa’t rare a the world. My congregation stands by me, and that is all I ask for,” he says. *‘Other de- nominations say we are not orihodox, but——well, you'll see it won't be loug | before they will think our way. I believe that Chrisiianity 1s for this life as well for the next. It makes life all the more | worth hving, and I aver that if you live | care of itself. I1fe mer: We are not good in this for the fear of the punishment here.” The exacs time and place of the picnic has not yet been dec ded upon, but it will take place this spring some ume, either at Golden Gate Park or some preity spot across the bay. Mr. Kord's latest departure will cer- tainly bring down all sorte’df unkind re- marks on the proposition, but the pastor intenas to go ahead with his preparations and not et the remarks bother him. Mr. Ford will be remembsred as the in knickerbockers some bright day, but as yethe has not done so, aithough he ap- pears in fuldress all the time. Hischurch | s packed to the doors as a general rule, and among his congregation he is most popular, so that he expects his people will agree with him on the subject of Sunday picnics or “‘basket parties.’” His new pan, however, will hardly meet with the approval of the other pas- tors, for they fora _long time have been declaring that Sunday picnics are a species Sabbath desecration, and as such, shou d be condemned the church. Mr. Ford intends to inject the Sunday service into bis vicnic and this may relieve it somewhat in denominational circies, al- though with some ministors_tnis nay only add to his iniquity. Mr. Ford, how- ever, thinks ita good thing, and he boldly says as much, and goes on planning for his Sunday picnics.

GOVERAOR BUDD HAS RIS SAY He Brands Speculation in the Durrant Case as Idle. Will Consider the Case When It Is Formally Brought Before Him. Attorney D:uprey P:ofesses Ignorance as to the Attitude of Prison Directors. “Idle and worthless spsculation.” That is Governor Budd’s sententious comment upon tie talk in regard to his attitude in the Durrant case. He was evidently not very well pleased at such comment either. Thestatement was made | yesterday morning at the Palace Hotel, and the Governor continued in the follow- ing strain: E “The story in reference to the commu- tation of Durrant's sentence has not been seen by me, and I know nothing about the statements it contains, as none of them had been brought to my attention previousiy. “‘There is one thing I can tell you that can be depended upon, and that is, any surmise as to how 1 suall act in this m. ter is useless labor. I have given the m ter absolutely no official consideration up to this time, and have not the least inten- tion of doing so until it shall have been brought before me. “When such time arrives I shall spare no pains to investigate it from beginning 1o end, and then will be the proper time to discuss any views I may hold. Com- time uvon my attitude, or what attitude I may assume in the future, is manifestly absurd. “Moreover, I shall have nothing more to say in repard to this matter until it has been presented to me formally and I bave given it due investigation.” Attorney Deuprey stated yesterday, also, that he had no previous knowledge as to the stand for commutation taken by certain of the Prison Directors until he saw it in the newspapers. He knew noih- ing of a petition for a commutation, and intended to keep at work on the Supreme Court er.d of the case until he becanie con- vinced such a course was hobeless, and then will constitutional ground: Durrant’s iather was not at home again last evening, but Mrs. Durrant said that she expecied his arrival at any minute. ‘The nature of te business that causes his continued absence was not divulged.

Jenkins, 2102 Mason street, who wasa passenger on the car, corrob- | orated the testimony of the conductor. The defendant admitted expectorating on the floor of the car. He was unaware &t the time that such an ordinance was in existence and denied the legality of his | arrest. The Judge sald that the ordinance had | | been pub'is ed in the newspapers by the | Chief of Police and it had been given all the publicity possible.
