THE SAN ¥FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY. AUGUST 16, 1897, . WILLIAM H. MORELAND, rec- of St. Luke’s Church, preached rday and officiated for the first \ce his return from the East, where he has been for two months past. ations w present to welcome The rector’s subj-ct in the morning ‘Zeal for Christ’s Kingdom,”” and he yest time si .iu-w‘n vospel for the day. He stated that he had not found in the East any parish that was doing better work in saving souls than St. Luke’s, and he com- mended the congregation for its liberality and devotion. There was need, however, he urged, for immmediate advance toward | the completion of the fund for the new St. Luke’s. The present congregations were ated, and larger ones were turned rom the church doors, he said. Four hundred children had to be trained with- out class rooms or conveni-ncesand amid many difficulties, ani it was high time that the same spirit of en(crpri,\uvflnd progress which men put into business sho! be applied to the concerns of the church of God. “Hate the_Evfi, Love the Good.” At Simpson Memorial Church last even- ing Rev.

The new rabbi of the vle, Isadore Meyers from Montreal, made a very earnest appeal to his congregation last night for the tborough education of Jewish children, both in a secular way and in the sacred law.

WILLIAM RADER spoke at the Thira Congregational Church last nighi on “Godliness, or Wealth,” He had a large and appreciative congre- gation, as it was the first sermon he had delivered since his vacation. The speaker definea discontent as “a signal example of poverty” and content as *“a form of riches.” He told the story of the diamond mines of Golconda, and the jeasants who deserted them, believing that they contained no wealth, He said the lesson to be learned from the fable was “‘that the riches of 1the world lie ciose at hand, ratber than far away.” After the peasants had abandoned the land as bad it was found that the greatest of all the mines ever seen by man were in the ardens they had deserted. “ln a similar way,” said the speaker, “all men have treasures in their own natures if they would only open the way to God and let the true sunlight of religion pour into their soul.” The theme was one, said the speaker, which deserved special notice at this time when so many are looking afar {or wealth., He begged all to remember Large | their efforts | o | sightseers.

FEAST OF THE ASSUMPTION |Catholic Churches of the City Hold Services to Honor the Virgin Mary. Devotions at St, Mary’s Cathe- dral Conducted With Special Solemnity. Archhishop Riordan Preaches a Ser- mon on the Blessed Mother of Jesus, The feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin was celebrated at all of the Catholic churches of the City yesterday. As St. Mary’s Cathedral is dedicated to the Virgin Mary the services there were of special solemnity. Solemn bigh mass was sung at 10:30 in the morning, Rev. P. C. Yorke acting a< celebrant. Assisting him were Rev. J. B. Hannigan as deacon and Rev. Pnilip O’'Ryan as sub-deacon. Rev. P. A. Mulli- gan was master of ceremonies; Most Rev. P. W. Riordan occupied the throne and assisted at the mass. The Archbishop preached a sermon on the assumption of the Blessed Virgin into heaven. He explained the meuning of Mary the mother of Jesus, after her death, was assumed into heaven. “She did not await the general resur- rection, nor was her body subjected to the ruption of the grave,” said the speaker. It was taken into neaven by her Divine Son. Though this truth was not defined by a council of the church or by the su- preme ponuff, still it was the universal belief that it came down from the apos- tles. Toey handed it down to the intant cuurch and the great fathers of the early centuries have vouched for its truth. It was never defined by the church because there was no necessity for defining it. Truths are only detined by the chureh when rebellious people rise up to deny them. ‘Lhe Archbishop then wenton to explain the devotion of the church to the mother of God. Continuing he said 1t was iounded on scripture and on her relations witn the Savior of the world. The incarnation of the E.ernal Word is the central truth oi Christianity. In order to make repara- tion for sin the second person of the blessed trinity came down and became man. He was born of avirgin, Hedid not take an apparent body, as some of tha angels did; he did not overshadow an ex- isting man. The divine and human na- tures were united in one perscn, just as our soul and body form one personality. | Jesus Christ then was divine and Mary was his mother. Thisis why the Catholic church styles her Mother of God—a title applied to her in the fifth century by the Council of Ephesus. People who attack urch because of itsdevotion to Mary should remember this. “Thereiors 13 Mary to be honored. In the sacred scripture she is always found beside her divine son. ‘He was subject to her during his five early years,’ us the evanzelist says. 1f Jesus was subject to Ler on earth surely we should honor her and ne does not cease to honor herin heaven.”” A special programme of music was ren- dered under the direction of the organist, Professor R. J. Harrison. The ‘‘Kyrie' and “Gloria” irom Beethoven’s mass in “*C” and the “Credo,” “Sanctus,” *‘Bene- dictus’” and ““Agnus Dei” from Mozart's twelfth mass were the selections sung, At the offertory A. Werner rendered Garcia’s “Ave Maria.” This was given with a violin obligato. The chorus was com- posed o1 Miss K. Black, Mrs. A. K. Sachse, sopranos; Miss Julia Svllivan, Mrs, J. W.

WALTER MANSFIELD, Champion Fly-Caster of the World, Anglers of this City and State have taken a deep interest in the great National fly-casting tournament which ended in Chicago yesterday. California was represented in the contests for the first time by Walter D. Mans- Fly-casting Club, who held, for some months past, the record for long-distance casting, which record was made on Stow Lake, Golden Gate Park. On Friday last Mr. Mansfield took third priza in the casts for «listance and accuracy, and in the race for honors 1n the third event, which was for acca- racy ana delicacy, Mansfield took first prize, beating such famous men in fly-cast- ing as F. B. Davidson, B. W. Goodsell and F. N. Peet. In long-dirtance casting, at which pastime the San Franciscan Is in a class by bimself on this coast, having easily defeated ali-comers during the past year. Mansfield mad: a remarkably good showing yesterday at the Chicago tournament, having won the first prize with a cast of 111)4 feet, beating the world’s record of 10214 feet, which has stood for seven years. Mr. Mansfie.d will return immediately to California, as business demands an He will be welcomed home by a committee from the Fly-casting Club, and doubtless a grand banquet will be arranged by the offi- cers of the club in the near tuture, at which- the conquering hero will tell how he deleated the crucks of the Eastern fly-casting and ungling clubs and other fiy CHINAMEN APPARENTLY INAGTIVE Rather a Suspicious Condi- tion of Quietude Over the Law. THEY CA DO BETTER WORK UERE. San Francisco Societies Do Not Look With Favor on Chicago. LITTIE OR X0 IMMIGRATION NOW. Collector Jackson's Energy Has Put a Stop to Illegal Ar- rivals, Very little attention is paid in China- town to tne reports thata society bas been formed having for its object the repeal of he exclusion act. In fact the Ciinese res dents of San Franci-co seem to be very little interested in the matter, and while all of them admit that they know of such a society, and have heard of the effort rhat is to be made, they say it is ‘long ago'’ vews and nothing more is to be done. They even go so ‘ar as to say that it is no good. That Wong Ching is not a good man. In fact there isa suspicious unanim- ity of opinion against the movement among the Chinese merchants, and they seem to decry the whole affair as being something not worth talking about. An influential member of one of the so- cieties, bowever, gave the clew to the whole matterof indifference when he said: “Why do we want 4 Chicago man to run our business? We can do it better our- selves here in California. We can get up our own society and do better work than a man in Chicago.” It was learned that all the Chinese so- cieties in the City have taken action in the matter and the resuiv has been that they have decided to work without the aid of Wong Chin Foo. They all agree that it 13 necessary that something be {done to relieve them from the stigma which now rests upon them, and the Work of interesting the home Government has been done by the merchants of San Fran- ci~co. Thev claim that until their coun- try is placed where she belongs with other Nations in 1his country itisa standing in- sult to their Emperor. Dr. Gardner of the Collector’s office said | that be had heard of the circular some time ago, but paid little attention to it, as he aid not believe it would ever material- 1ze into anything definite. He thought there would be no possivility of the plan succeeding and consequently gave the matter little or no thougur. He said he could well understand the reason for the sudden activity in the matter, for under the new regime at the Custom-house it was a most_difficuit matter for a China- man to get into this country unless he be- longed here. He said it was noticeable | that during the past years scarcely a ship arrived from China but carried many girls and women. The last three suips that came in had no girls or women, and he thought it due entirely to the fact that the | Chinese have learned that they cannot evade the law now as they cou!d in the ast. = Members of the Housekeepers’ Associa- tion in Cninatown, that is, the men who deal in slaves and keep houses of evil re- pute, not only refused to talk about the matier but even denied that they had ever heard of the movement. They weredensely ignorant about it and did not even know whether the exclusion law was a benefit to them or not. They put on the usual sphinx-like countenance and gave no evi- dence of any interest in anything except a desire to be let tnoroushly alone. The general consensus of opinion among them was summed up in one expres<ion uttered by a disgusted slave-owner when he said, “Newspaper: got too much business.” It is worthy of note_in this connection that since Collector Jackson lLasshown that he will permit of no tampering with the law the tide in 1/licit immigration has changed its course and Sun Francisco is | given a wide berth, while Vancouver is now geting the traffic. Some go by the way of Mex co, and it has been learned that vari.es of from forty to two hundred Chinese have been landed at Muzatian and Guaymas, where they are cared for by the agents of the company which sends them over. 'I'nese Chinamen make their way to the border in parties of two and three, and under the guidance of experienced men slip across the line at points which are loosely guarded. REGULAR ARMY NOTES, Troops That Are in Camp at Santa Cruz and Red- wood City. Brigadier-General Shafter on the Sick - List—A Less Number of Instructors. Brigadier-General Shafter, commanding the Department of California, has been confined to his home at Fort Mason for several deys by an atiack of illness, but it is not of a serious nature During the past week the post at the Pre- sidio nas been comparatively deserted. Com- pany I, kourth Cavalry, Cap:ain Lockett, left on Tuesday to march to Santa Cruz to take partin the camp of the Nationa: Guard that commenced there yesterday, and on the fol- lowing aay the remainder of tne troop left for Redwooa City to camp there and then go into extended firing, which will continue ior three or four days, or until such tiring is completed. The men were ordered to march to the city named, camping on the way there. The pruc- tice firing will be on the ranch of E. A. Hooper in the vicinity of the city. Colonel Samuel B. Young, promoted from Ieutenant-colonel of the Fourth Cavalry to colonel of the Third Cavalry, who several montns ago left the Presidio to command the troops sent to guard the Yellowstone Park, has been ordered 10 remain at Fort Yellowstone until farther orders. There is to be a change of the blouse for the enlisted nen. They are 10 be on a new and revised patiern and wiil have a superior qual- ity of lining. The new blouses, woich will be made with particular attention as 1o measure- ments, will not be issued until those still on hand shall bave been dizposed of. There is also to be a change in the overcoats for the enlisted men, The new ones will be lined throughout. The subject of filling vacancies in the army has been the talk of Army men on all sides of late. Upon this subject Acting Attorney-Gen- eral Muury has given an opinion, in which he says: It must be understood that the vacancy, the happening of which 1s contemplated, is & vacancy in the arm of the service in which the additionai secona iicutenant is then commis- sioned. A cadet hi.vinz been found compe- tent upon graduation to perform the duiies of & designated arm of the seryice upon bein promoted sud commissioned as additional second lieutenant therein, is entitled to pro- motion in that brauch, unless transferred by order of the Prdsident or at his own reque<t; therefore, while &n ad- ditionnl * second lieutenant, he 1s mnot in such a position us 10 interfere with the as- signment of subsequent graduates to other arms of the service. Being ussigzned to or commissioned to serve in a specified arm he must be heli while he so remains to be out of the way ot uppointments authorized by statute to be made in other branches of the service. In my opinion you ure authorized to assign recent graduates, non-commissioned officers Andcivilians, to the cavalry and infantry to fill vacancles existing in those branches, wnile the additionals referred to remain attached to the arm of the servive in which they are com- missioned to serve.” . By reason of the reduction in the number of instructors in the tnfantry and cavairy school at Fort Leavenworth, Kans., Captain Nat P. Puisier, who had be+n ou duty there since No- vember 20, 1894, has been ord:red to return 10 bis comjany, G of the First Infantry, at the Presidio. First Lieutenant G orge A.

About one-fourth of those who were at the table were colored men, members of Court Bournemouth, the only subordi- nate in San Fraucisco of an organization of wbite men that permits colored men to become members of the order, and the reason of their presence was to show their respect for Mr. McNuliy, who, being a strong belicver in the doctrine that fra- ternity and charity know no color, took a boid stand in favor of the colored men when the proposition to admit them 10| membership came up in the councils of the order. Since the organization of Court Bournewouth two more courts, composed exclusively of colored men, have beewn organized—one in Oakland and the other in Los Angeles. The menu inciuded Eastern ovsters, green turtle soup, re.isbes, fiilet of sole | sauce sauterne, cotlets a la merechal, | stuffed tomatoes, croquet of sweet bread, | with green peas, young chicken, lettuce salad, 1cecream, cakes, fruit, Medoc and sauterne, and atter it had been disposed of the chairman announced that there would be but one toast and that was “The Guest of the Evening,” and to that C.

Afier that the chiairman cailed upon all present to say something suit d 1o the occasion, and in the cour-e of the remarks that were made the wo k of Past Chief Ranger Mec- Nultv was reviewed and he was lauded for the stand he had taken on many occasions when he was met with preat opposition, but he was given the credit that he had always fought for what he believed was richt and that time had proved that in nearly every instance had his advice been foliowed it would have resulted in the grealest good to the order. It also came out that Mr. McNulty had in his relation with the order been, as one oi the speak- ers said, “the most cussed and discussea Forester in the jurisdiction of California.” He was paid a tribute by nearly all who were prevent, and toward the close, he was, on behalf of the committee named, pre- sented by Permanent Secretary Falconer a setof engrossed resolutions, and at the close of the address Eugene J J'ck on or Court Bournemouth, in a nest address expressive of the court’s appreciation of | Mr. McNuity’s labors for the colored race and bumanity, presented him with a beautiful gold emblematic baage, suitably engraved. n returning thanks for the marks of ratitude and appreciation, Mr. McNulty geclnred that he was going to New York to estabhish himself in business there, which sfforded him a larger fie!d than San Francisco, and while there, he would, as he did here, work in the interest of Forese PARENTS ARE NOT PLEASED Methods of the Solid Nine Which Are Un- popular. Favored Candidates Said to Be Lifted In Over the Rules. Direotor Head Tells Something of How Things Are Managed on the Inside. The Solid Nine of the School Depart- ment is not pleased with the spiritin which the parents of schoolchildren nn_d the zens generally have viewed their actions of late, and because they are not pleased the ringsters are squirmingina manner that is not pleasant to look upon. As time passed they promised each other the objection to the augmented couruerf study would die away, and in this belief they tried to be happy. But time has passed, and the members of the majority find it disagreeable to walk sbroad, to ride on streetcars, to visit friends or to show themselves much anywhere. People will say such unjpleasant things about the alleged textbook job. With a noble show of repentance they have instructed principais that the stu- dents need not purchase some of the more obnoxious books, as it would be sufficient if the teac..ers procured them. Tue instruc- tions were useie-s, =ave as a pleasing evi- dence of a changa of heart, for most of the pupils hud already obtained the books. Tuere are people unkind enough to ques- tion the methods by which some ot the recenti appointments were made, and there are others who have ceased questioning to cond¢mn. By a skillful manipulation tae Ele- mentary Education Committee, of which D.rector Derham is chairman, has been shorn of most of its pow-r. The actual work of selecting teachers is done in execuiive session and only a few of the schemes which are said to be discussed in the recesses of the commitiee-rooms leak inio the other chamber, where sit the mi. nority, about as useful as wooden Ind J 8 nce January the Solid Nine h placed about forty teachers in the depart- m.nt. Of these some are admiited to ve good, otners are considered doubtful, and there are still others. All are admitrel to have proper pulls, and the fact that many are importations has aroused considersble opposition among the iriends of deserving unemployed teachers of this City. One of tne imported teachers is Miss Ryan, a sister-in-law of Harbor Commis- <ioner Earney of this City, and a sis er of Frank Ryan, A-sessor of Sacramento. Mi.s Ryan has been emp.oyed until this year in the School Department of Sacra- mento. She is <aid to be an efficient teac er, and nerhaps that is the reason why the board saw fit to overlook the rule which says that teachers must serve as substitutes for one year before being placed on the regular list. Miss Ryan was elec ed upon the substitute list and the same night was :s«agned as a teacher in the M ssion High School. Plofessor Husky, late of St. Helena, was one of the majority’s favored ones. Protessor Husky was slated for a vice- princ palship, and according to Director Head, who has the bad iuck to be on the outside, he was placed as vice-principal of the Hearst Grammar School, while Captain A. J. Its-ll was placed upon the unassigned list. Iisell draws $100 a month and bas nohing to do. Director Head cites the case of Levi Bowman, late principal of the schoo. at Hunters Point, as an evidence of the con- troliing body’s methods. Bowman was accused, though not formally, of a very erious offense. ‘The matter was taken up in commitiee of the whole and aaspe- cial committee consisting o! Superintend- ent Webster, E. L. Head and Charles L. Barrington was appointed to investigate. They found the charges groundless and all agreed to a resolution exonerating bim. When the Superintendent had drawn up the resolution Head says Barrington refused to sign on the grounda that it would offend Director Waller. The Solid Nine refused to recewve the report, and with the accusationsstill hanging over his head Bowman was relieved of his school and placed on the unassigned list. A friend of the combination was placed at Hunters Point. ‘There are other reasons, scores of them, why parents and other citizens are dissat- istied ; and each day seems to bring more. SN G CHARGES DENIED. E. C. Kilpatrick Declares the State- ments Made by Miss Geraldine G. Donovan Are False. E. C. Kilpatrick, principal of the Com- mercial evening school, against whom Miss Geraldine Donovan preferred charges of incompetency, denies the truth of the statements made about him. In speaking of them yesterday he said: “Tne whole affair is a matter of spite. Every one of the charges is vindictive and false. 1 do not consider Miss Donovan responsible, though, for nher acis. She is simply the cat’s paw for the monkeys be- hind the scenes. “The young lady secured thé position in the school through the influence of A. Comte, the attorney, and from the first moment she caused trouble in the school. “In every possible manner I tried to heip her, until the leachers even accused me of showing Ifavoritism. The pupils and she never agreed, and it was only by refusing to transfer Uiie pupiis to another cluss that there ever was a scholar in her department. It was after failing in every way to remedy matters, and not until she openly refused to heed my instructions, that I reportcd her as poor.”” The charges will be considered at the oext meeting of the board and will be given into a committee’s hands to inves- tigate. A M_AL OF SAND. Marie Kawalkowski, a Baby, Dies After a Strange Kepast. Marie Kawalkowski, a baby, not yet 2 years of age, whose parents reside at 301 Richmond avenue, died in a hack while being taken to St. Luke's Hospital yester- day afternoon. The baby was taken ill early in the afternoon, and Dr. Gray was called to attend toit. The child appeared to be smothering and all efforts to ascer- tain the cau<e were withcut avail. Dr. Gray tinallv decided to remove the patir-nt to the hospital, but the child died en route. 1t is thougit by the physician that the youngster made a meal of sand and dirt and drew a quantity down her windpipe.
