Magnificent Music Adds to the Occasion’s Impressive- ness. CONFIRMATION IN THE AFTER- NOON. Two Hundred and F.fty Young People | Formally Received Into the | | | Church. | The people of St. Rose’s Parish had rea- | son to be proud snd happy vesterday. Their beautiful new courch on Brannan | reet, between Fourth and solemnly dedicated by Archbis dan, end the efforts of Father Nugent, v seconded by Fathers Gleason and | eally, as weil as the loyal parishion- | are now borne witness to by one of the | finest sacred edifices in the City. : dedicatory services commenced at yesterday morning, and it | Th o'clock was nearly 20’clock in the aiternoon be- fore they were completed. Ihe first par: of the service consisted of vlessing th outer walls. The procession, which formed | at the sanctuary, was led b v. Maurice | Kennealiy, sub-deacon, cross-bearer. A force of twenty-four altar-boy Jowed. Six torch-bearers to the Arch Messrs. Conroy, Mu.ville, Maroney. Horn and Waish, preceded the v 2 clergy, who were Fathers McGinty of Holy | Cross, Conolly of St. il's, Gente of the French Church, Gleason of St. James, | Maximilian of S:. Bonilace a I Mulligan, secretary to the Al Father Nugent, pastor of the new ¢ marc.ed witn the visitors Riordan was attended b ¢ Father Bohen of Chicago end Father Butler of St Igna- | tius, deacons of honor; Rev. Josepli M. | Gleason of 5t. Rose’s wxs muster of cere- | monies. | The procession proceeded from the sanc- | tusry down the middle aisle through tne | main entrance, The r bo here | formed in a line on the sidewalk with Father Kenneally, cross-bearer, in the cen- | ter. Here the Archbishop performea the | beautiful ceremony of blessing the outer | walls while the clergy cuanted the “Mis- | erere.” The procession then returned down the | middle aisle to the eliar, and there the | litany of saints was chanted by all in uni- son. " The procession then mude a circuit | of the inner walls, ending at the sanctu- | ary, where the er of than ing was | sung by the Archbishop. | At the co on of the prayer the Archbishop procesded to tue throne, where Fathers Mullizan and Maxiniilian acted as deacons of honor. Father Allen of St. Ignatius celebrated | solemn high mass, wiin Father Bohen of Chicago as deacon,’ Father Butler of St. | Ignatius subdeacon and Father J. M. | Gleason of St. Rose's master-of-cere: monies. | The music throughout the ceremonies | was particularly beautiful and effective. | A double trio, same which sang the | Easter service, composed the choir, ana a 1ull string orchestra assisted. The mass | was taken from Generali and Lambillote. | During the consecraiion the orchestra | plaged the intermezzo from *‘Cavalleria | Rusticana.” A pleasing feature of the | ceremonies was the work of the altar-boys. | who moved with military precision and | were always in harmony. The Archbishop delivered the dedica- tory sermon. He preached from the gos- | vel of the day, ‘‘Peace be to you.'" | Though this may have beena conven- | tional form of spesch among the Orientals | e Occidentals also, be said, as used by our Savior, it had & meaning above common parlance. It was one of the precious woras used by the Savior in the | tew days he remained on earth after the resurrection. | “He leit two kinds of peace,” said the Archbishop, “peace of mind and peace of | heart. Peace of mind becnuse to the | aposties and their successors he had be- | queatned the solution of all difficult ques- | tions of life, as Whence comc we? or| Whither go we? The only definite an-| swer to these things is in the Catholic | faith, as coming down from the Savior | himseli. | ‘‘Peace of bheart, inasmuch as he has| left, is the means of reconciling ourselves 10 the God whom we have offended by our wrongdoing. “These words of our Savior are most appropriate on a day like this, when form- | ally and officially a new crurch is| opened to the service of God. It shows us that we are part of that grand congre- | gation apart from the world and entitled | 10 be cailed the church of Christ.” | In the afternoon the Archbishop con- | firmed 225 candidates. The children were | marshaled by Mrs. Margaret Sullivan, Miss Nellie McCreagh, Miss Mary Cusick snd Miss Teresa Riiey. The boys were led to the altar first, foilowed by tho| voung men. For these Thomas McBride | mood sponsor. The girls, looking very cbarming in their while dresses, veils and | wreaths, came last. Miss Kate Gatlagher acted as sponsor for them. The Archbishop on account of anotber | engagement addressed the young people | very briefly, but promised in the future to | give them more extended instruction. In the evening Father P. C. Yorke preached at the new church. Father Nugent, assisted by Father | Gleason as deacon, and Father Kenneally | as sub-deacon, promounced the solemn benediction. the Gas. William Robinson, resiaing at 501 Post street, turned on the gas in bis room yesterday afternoon at5 o'clock with the intemtion of committiog suicide. One of the lodgers de- tected the oaor and saved Kobinson'slife. A police officer was summoned and Robinson was takeu to the Rcceiviug Hospital, where the applicetion of restoratives brought him out of danger. ie denied that he bad in.| tendod to destroy himsel. | Stolen Milk and Cigars. | F.

Hassler explained in all earnestness. *'1 had gone night previous to water my flowers, as I do every night.

Hassler had an experience, whicn was brought to her mind vesterday while reviewing her meeting of Keefer’s spirit. “It was on August 3, 1883,” she said. “The Winter Garden, a great barn built for concert and volitical purposes on the site of where the Pacific Union Clubis now, took fire. I believe an actor was the French language, who has been the mining man’s neighbor on the fourth floor of that eaifice, over the City of Paris, | is authority for this statement. 1 saw him,” she said to a CaLy re- porter yesterday, “‘and 1 therefore know | of whas I am speaking.” | Windsor A. Keefer is the well-known | mining man who was one of the principal owners in the Jupiter mine in Calaveras County. In March last he left this City | for the mines, and the last that was seen | of him was when he started out hunting over the mountains with President Thompson, his Iriend -and associate in Calaveras mines. The two men separated | during the hunt, and only one has been | seen since that time. What has become | of Keefer is a mystery 1o every one but | Mlie. Hassler, who is sure he is dead. Her story is so fraught with all that is weird that it might well be taken up by the California Psychieal Society. “I knew nothing about the disappear- burned there. I was then boarding next door with a Mrs. Bessett. The flames shot over to the very spot where 1 stood look- ing atthe fire and I would have been burned to death bad it not been thata few seconds before some unnseen force pushed me along and out of the way. I cannot explain exactly what it was, but I felt as if Iwas being kicked about the heels and a voice seemed to tell me ‘Move; move away.” I no sooner had | moved than the flames came over to the | spot on which I stood, a3 1f they had been wafted through a funnel.’” So despondent are Keefer's relatives of his being found that yesterday relatives opened his room and practically took charge of the eftects.

On’ April 13 Collins and a companion broke into a freightcar at Seventh and | Townsend streets and stole about $50 worth of brass, which they hid in a lot ad- joining the branch telephone ottice at Sey- enth and Townsend. Two nights later Collins and his friend went to the lct to remove the brass. The nightwatchman at the telephone office had bee notified to look out for them, and when he saw them he tried to capture them. They ran and the nightwatchman fired two shots at them, but missed them. Bince then the officers have been look- ing for Collins, and succeeded in arresting him early yesterday morning. PURSUED BY Novelty Black * French Etamines And Grenadines! A NEMESIS The Hysterical Ashley Sisters on E J. Bald- win’s Trail THEY LEAVE THE HOTEL IN TEARS. Their Intended Coup @’Etat | Proves a Dangerous Boomerang. WIGS AND FALSE NAMES LED| 70 TROUBLE. The Scheme Was to Force the Million- aire to Adopt Miss Lillian Ash- lev’s B.b:. Miss Lillian Ashley, the unfortunate young woman who made herself notori- ous by occasioning the shooting at E. J. Baldwin in the Superior Court sowe months ago during the progress of a trial wherein she claimed that he was | the father of her babe, scored another humiliating failure last night. She and her sister, Emma, who had teen quartered at the Baldwin for several days under the pleasing delusion that their sojourn as “Mrs. and Miss Lay’’ would prove a coup d'etat that wouid make Mr. Baldwin adopt the infant and | support its sunt and mother, were hustled out of the hotel without ceremony. Hysterical and weeping like Niobe, the heroine of the late revolver episode folded her tent and hurriedly left the hotel ina carriage, stating that she was ill and needed rest in some hospital, announcing that her sister would remain for a time with friends. As they had no money with which tosettle the bill for the elecant suite of rooms they had occupied | Colonel Kowalsky chivairously advised | Manager Stone to allow them to depart. “If they surrender possession thev virtu- Ily give us nine points in the battle,’”” said be, “and it is cheaper to let them go than to feed them here and allow them to occupy luxuriant quarters.” So the women called a hack at 9 o’clock and were hastily ariven away, having been notified that they would be dealt with barsbly if they remained and dia not settle their bill. 1 told them the hote! was mine, d Manager Stone, “and thut Mr. Baldwin bad nothing to do with it; that they had | come here under alia-es, disgnised 1n strange and startling wigs, and that I could not tolerate them. At first they stormed and fumed, the mother of the babe being a particularly fine bluffer, and declaring that she would notify her hus- band in Chicago of the insulting way sue was being treated. This took us aback and we hesituated, but they finaily threw up the sponge and went out as Colonel Kowalsky counted time."” | Mr. Baldwin was in the lobby just be- fore the women came down in 1he ele- vator, but friends hurried him to the side- walk 1o avert the possibility of a shot or NEW TO-DAY this city. —DRY GOODS.

The old gentleman had barely been hustled into the open air when his Nemesis, much excited and evi- Gently greatly unstrung, swept through | the lobby and into the carriage that awaited her. She was driven rapidl over a circuitous route to St. Luke’s Hos. pital, where she was registered under an | assumed name and booked asa vicim of | “‘nervousne-s.’ “In this strange and badly planned bat- tle,” said Coionel Kowalsky last night, | “these unfortunately advised young | women had a sirange notion that there | was some sort of law by which they could compel Mr. Baldwin to support the child, but I informed them that there wasno | such law and that a man could not adopt a child, even if he wanted 1o do so, with- | out the consent of his wife. | “They were greatly disconcerted when | they found that the hotel was not under | | | Mr. Baldwin’s control, and when finally | and firmly ordered to go they weptana wrung their hands.” Miss Lillian made many futile attempts to communicate with E. J. Baldwin yes- terday, but none of her letters were opened and few reached him at all. “Sbe even went to the trouble yesterday to send him a letter by Wells-Fargo, but ber time was wasted. Mr. Baldwin tirmly said: ‘The child is not mine and I haveno business with this woman,’ and during the enti; iege he did not swerve from that position. He was much annoyed by the notoriety of the matter yesterday and seemed greatiy pleased when his Nemesis | had gone.” i No actress ever bowed to a more inter- ested or appreciative audience than the one fair Lillian Ashley, her child and her sister faced last evening as she stepped out on to Powell street to start on the journey from the hotel they had been re- quested to leave. The crowd had been anxiously awaiting the appearance of the party for several bours, and when the heroines suddenly appeared through the doorway of the Baldwin every one rushed to catch a glimpse of the departing sisters. A carriage was in waiting and {he driver, as 500D as the party was safely in- | stalled, shouted at his team with the ve- hemence of a man overburdened with a tangled mess of orders and irstructions. The carriage rolled away; turned into Market street, in a few minutes into Va- lencia street, and hurried toward the out- skirts of the City. When Twenty-fourth street was reached the hiorses were turned from their course along Valencia ard headed toward the black foothills in the west. ‘Thie, however, was but a ruse to throw any possible follower into confusion. The team sped round and round a few blocks, siraightened in its course again and head- ed for St. Luke’s Hospit | Arriving at the hospital the party | alighted and entered the oflice of the phy- | sician in charge, Dr. Armstead. Here Miss | Ashley told a nurse that she wisned to be | admitted to the hosvital, as she was suf- | fering extremely from nervousness and | physical disability, and ~ished an opera- | tion performed witnin the next few days. The patient gave the atiending nurse a fictitious name, but later when questioned by Dr. Armstead admitted that she was Liliian Ashley. She requested the phy- sician to allow no one to see her, and her wishes will be respected. She was placed in a neat little room, given a quieting dose and she retired to sleep. Her sister and the baby returned to the carriage and were taken to some downtown lodging-house, where they will rest secluded from the inquisitive world. FOR THE GREAT DRILL.

LK T SUFS LT, Thus Will Knowledge Come | From the East to the | West. | Brahmacharin Bodabhiskshu, the Brah- 1 min student, who is promuigating theo- | sophical ideas throughout Americs, spoke | at Native Sons Hall last evening. The cpeaker was arrayed in the garb of a high- class Brahmin, which consists of a pure white robe, a white neckscarf and a white turban. The headdress, which extends far down on each side of his head, formsa | riki g contrast with his dark face and makes the latter seem much more swarthy than when the turban is removed. The subject of the Brahmacharin’s ad- | dress was “Religion as a Science.” He | hasa remarkably fine flow of language | and a poetical conception which he | drew upon copiously for elowing and | striking fizures. . { “There can be no entrance into a spir-! itual life,” he gaid, “unless we lead a| truly unselfish life. This is not preached | on any impulse. It is noi mere senti- ment, for it is based upon philosophical, | scientific knowledge. You know Christ said ‘Blessed are the pure in heart.’ | There can be no purity without unselfish- | nes an should have control over his own | mind. He should be able to say toir, | “You are my slave. You must not think | here. I fix you on that thing. that.’” Ti.e speaker then explained the process by whica the soul leaves the body during life. This, he said, was what was meant | in the Bible by fasting forty days and forty nignts. He said that many of his friends could leave their bodies at will. “Truth comes from the Orient,” he | said, in conclusion, ‘‘as the sun which rises in the east and continues its jour- | ney, spreading lightaround the worid. It | was predicted years ago by a European thinker that eastern ideas would one day | take possession of the west, and that da is at hand. The wesiern people have | built the form. The spirit will now flow in from the east. You may call it Christianity, you may call it theosophy, you may call it what you will. You can- not resist this current. The mold is ready and the blending of the east and the west is at hand.”" | Think a(} SPECIAL SAVING SALE Monday—Tuesday— Wednesday We never sacrifice quality for price, but sell below a reasonable = profit sometimes.
