In future he will officiate in this church, to which Bishop Nicholas inted him. Everything tranze, unique at the Greek Church. he services are conducted in Greek and Slavonian. Tho church itselt is small, but glowing with color. The sanctuary is separated from the rest of the churcia by a red and gold, elaborately carved, richly decorated grill, before which many colored candles burn on tall suiver stands. Most of the men of the concregation remain on the right side of the church, while the women are_on the left. Far up near the froni, in an iso- lated position of honor, sits the Russian Consul. The Russian eagle ered on the mat upon which the Bishop rests his feet. Upon his entrance the Bishop is met by Theodore Pashkovsky was mar- | is emuroid- | be- | throw a white silk gold-embroidered robe.

The | divan is covered with pink embroidered silk, looped un over dull green veivet. | The Bishop is clothea in a long purple silk cown, trimmed with white satin ribbons. Upon his head he wears a sort of high square black cap from which a long black eavy veil flows over his shoulders. The deacons appreach and, after kiss- ing the Bishop’'s hand, proceed to di- vest him of the capand the purple silk robe; then of the royal purple velvet cloak be wears beneath, till he stands in a pur- | ple silk gold-beited gown.

The deptn, | the sonority, the exquisite melodic full- | ness of that voice are a revelation of woat the human voice is capabie of, and is owner sings the wonderful hymns of the Greek Church as thouch for this alone such a voice hai been given nim. Brother Popoff. the great basso, is the neohew of Bishop Nicholas. He, too, will be married before losg, and his ordi nation as a priest will foilow 1n due time. The service is largely musical. Most of the responses are sung, and in the throaty, full-sounding Greck and Slavonian is beautifully effective. At 1l o'clock the ordination procession ! appecred, coming from the sanctuary out into the body of the church. First there came two altar-boys in glowing red robes, swinging censers, and then two deacons | red. Father Demetrius and Father Seba tian followed, wearing upon their beads the tall, round caps of yurple and black, and then came Brother Pasnkovsky hold- ing above his dark head the sacramental veil of gold. His robe of blue, embroid- | ered in gold aud silver, singled him out from the p-ocession zorgeous in red and While the Bishop intoned the ser- | the flowing purple silken gown. vice and the choir filled the little church with such music as stirs every religious fiber in one’s heart Theodore Pashkovsky passed on into the sanctuary glowing softly with lighted candles and stained glass windows, through which the sun came d'm and warm. He bowed toward the altar and bent in prayer. Tuen the priests invested him with the s ole and the chasuble of pale olive green and gold, and he siood before the Bishop, who repeated the word ‘*‘Accepted” in Greek after the investiture of each gar- ment. Then the choir burst into tri- umphan: song. It was wonderiully ef- fective. The rich masses of color, the stately bearing of the priests, the swing- | ing censers from the silver chains, the | dark-eyed young deacon who had just been ordained, the hallelujahs of the | choir, whose waves of music seemed to ride upon that rhythmic, musical bass that filled the churci—it is no wonder the people bowed and crossed themselves and prayed with all devotion. Priests and people partook of the communion. | Then the men, filing up first, kissing the | great golden crucifix the Bishop held, and then the women in their turn came for- | ward. e The Bishop blessed the people, and then bis attendants removed toe red and gold | robe, the gold hip piece, the stole, the | scarf and the miter and placed upon his | 1 the great veiled cap and about him The last he gave back into the hands of the attend- ant as he left the church. A sermon explaining the ritual of ordi- nation was preached in English by Father Sebastian and the congregation passed out. The church was empty. Then, still wearing kis green and goid robe, Father Pasnkovsky, the new priest of San Fran- cisco’s Greek Church, sterped from the sanctuary. And soon the iittle deserted church resounded with the “Te Deum” the young priest intoncd, while the deep harmony of Brother Popoff s mighty mu- sical buss chanted the responses.

THREE SUSPECTS LANDED IN PRISON One of Their Alleged Victims Visits the Receiving Hospi- tal for Repairs, STRUCK WITH A BLUNT INSTRUMENT. | The Police Searching for Another Man Who Is Wanted for Complicity in the Crimes. During the past week several robberies have been commitied south of Market street. In nearly every case the victim was under the influence of liquor and lowed the robbers to take his purse wit out making a struggle. Through thee« f.ris of Captain Spillane and his cflicers | three men who are strongly suspected of being responsible for the hold-ups are locked up in the City Prison. Their names are T. E. Hesketh, Jack Donovan | Hesketh and Donovan | and Frank Foss. are accused of holding up Daniel Flem- ing, a laborer, on Fifth street early yester- day morning and robbing him of a few dollars. Hesketh was arrested immed:atelv after the robbery znd taken to ihe City Prison. Donovan, his alleged accompiice, was captured last night and formally charzed. Both men, it is said, have been positively identified by their victim. Foss is accused of being one of the men who robbed Carl Bettner, an ironer at the City and County Hospital. Last Satur | he passed their place of concealment one | day evening Bettner entered a saloon at Ninth and Brannan streets and engaged | in a game of voker. Luck seemed to have favored him and in | a short time he won con-iderable money. | Several of the players noticed two men sitting in the room where the yame was | being played, and, suspecting that they | | | were bent on mischief, they notified the proprietor. The latier 100k a 00d look at them and, convinced that they iniended to hold up one of the players, he ordered tbe meun to leave the saloon. The men were subsequently seen hanging sronnd the place conver-ing in low tones and f-e- | quently peering into the interior of the | room in which the game was being played, Shortly after 110’ clock Bettner emerged | ana started along Ninth street. The thugs were lying in wait for him and as | of them struck him over the head pre- sumally with some blunt instrument, felling tim to the ground. They then searched his pockets, taking ail the | money he had, amounting to about $12, | After’ recovering consciousness Bettner lustily skouted for tue police. Officer Tuite answered the cries. and, after learning the story of the robbery, he | at once started out to find the men. From | the description given of the robbers Tuite | shortly before noon yesierday arrested | Foss and locked him up in the tanks pend- | ing an investigaton. He was identified by the provprietor oi the store asone of the men who were seen hanging around the place. The other suspect is named But- | ler. He has not vet been arrested, but tue police are hopetul of catching him. | Another victim of footjads is Charles Bogan, who lives at 722 Brannan street. | Early yesterday morning, according to his story, he was walking on Minna street and when near Fifth he was accosted by two men, one of whom knocked him down. While lying prosirate Bogan claims they went through his pockets, securing about $5 in siver. Bogan gavea good description of the e and the police are now looking for them, Subsequently Bogan visited the Receiv- ing Hospital, where a deep cut in his head, which was inflicted by the rovbers, was uressed by Dr. Tormey. { Daniel Fleming, a teamster, living at 42 | Mo:ris avenue, was on his way home be- | tween 2 and 3 o'clock yesterday morning, and had reached Fifin and Perry streets, | when two men approached him ana grabbed hold of him.

(@) Bride's Song, Jensen PIGKPOGKETS IN A CHORGH Lady Robbed of Her Purse While Leaving the First Congregational, Jason W, Nash Captures One of the Thieves and Hands Him Over to the Police. Other Robberies Reported and a Care- ful Watch Being Kept Upon the Gang. Pickpockets and sneak thieves have commence< the season’s operations with vigor but the police are keeping a watch- ful eye upon them and some of them are in the City Prison. Yesterday as the congregation was leav- ing the First Congregational Church after the morning service, two pickpockets got | amongst them and one of them, Victor Murray alias Frank Henry, inserted his bhand in the pocket of Miss Jane Van Meter’s jacket and extracted her purse. She immediately discovered her loss and exclaimed **My purse is gone.”” Murray had passed the purse to his con- federate who slipped through the crowd and disappeared. "Jason M. Nash, the wholesale produce merchant, saw Murray take the purse and grabbed hold of him. Policeman W. W. Wilson was standing on the corner and Murray was handed over to him and taken to the City Prison where a charge of grand larceny was booked against him. Murray is a well-known pickpocket and has been arrested several times. About ten days ago he was arrested by Detec- tives Graham and Sullivan for vagrancy, but was released on bonds and the case is still pending. Friday night pickpockets got among the people leaving the Tivoli and one of them stole a purse from Mrs. French of Oak- land. She gave the alarm and Policeman McCottery arrestea Harry Baldwin, a well- known pickpocket, and charged him wi h grand larceny. Baldwin was seen to drop the purge, which was afterward picked up and restored to the owner. Samuer Summerfield, a guest at the Hotel Savoy, had a valuable diamond stud siolen from his shirt front on a Valencia- street car, opposite Powell street, and William Harrison of the Flood building had a valuable scaripin stolen from him in front of Corbett’s soloon on Ellis sireef. ‘Ihe volice are using extra precautions to detect pickpockets in view of the larze number of people visiting stores and mak- ing purchases for the holiday season. It is known that a number of sneakthieves and pickpockets have recently come to the city from ouis de towns, and they are being closely watched. Several policemen 1 plain clothes will be detailed to help the aetectiv: well-known pickpockats if cau INGLESIDEVRAGES. A Well-Filled Card of Five Events Down for Decision To-Day.
