Mary’s Cathedral Sundsy-school held ot< annual Christmas festival at Na- tional Guard Hall Jast night. The fest1- val consisted of a well-selected and well- rendered programme, a great humber of the children taking part. The prettiest thing on the procramme was the tableau, “The Immaculate Conception.” The scene Was uUp among the clouds, with angel faces all around. At the top of the clouds stoed the Virgin Mary, imper- sonated by Miss Mary Robinson. Miss Robinson’s startling resembiance to well- known pictures of the Madonna made the tableau all the more ~triking, and ibe audience was only satisfied after the cur- tain bad been raised three times. Tre chorus of little children and the specialty bv W. J. Hrnes were warmly ap- piauded. Following is the programme render Ciorus, ““Christmas Welcome,” girls; recita- tion.

In Order to Avoid Litigation| the Company Buys His Interest, A Oritical Condition of Affairs Threatened for a Time to Embar- rass the Stockholders. Charles Thackery, tendent of Reduction Works, is now no longer con- nected with the Garbage Company, he having severed his relations during the past week, much, it is said, to the peace of mind of the-officers if not entireiy to the satisfaction of Mr. Thackery himseif, who is now ovt of a job. When the incineration of the city’s gar- bage was determined upon as a substitute for the old methods of filling up waste places, as heretofore practiced, a company was organized, with ex-Mayor Ellert as president, whose bid was accepted and a monopoly contract to run fifty years was entered into with the city—not without considerable opvosition from various sources. A plant costing $150,000 was erccted, with a chimney 240 ‘eet in height, =0 constructed, it was anncunced, as to consume all odors arisine from the Incii- eration of refrs» and discharge ali vapors ata height which would be far above any danger of contsct with the people living round about. Mr. Thackery, an engineer of English erstwhile superin- extraction, who had constructed the gar- bage cremat ry in ‘Montreai, Canada, and others in various places in En land, was induced to come to this c.ty and superintend the new works to be erected here. With the Thackery patents no fuel had to be bought, the garbage con- sumed itself, a teatnre which was consid ered extremev vainadble and 1ogether with other patents owned by Thackery was orporated into the local incinera- tor. A contract was entered into with th e patentee, who removed to this city and superintended the erection of ihe crematory with all its thirty-two furnaces. For abont a month now the gartage of the city has found & grave ii the crema- tory. Some attempt has been made by scavengers to clandesiinely dispose of their loads, but prompt arrests have fol- lowed and opposition has practically died out. The owners of the plant are now be- ginning to receive some benefits of their fat monopoly and everything bid fair te 20 on quite smoothly but for bicker- ings which developeu between tlie various parties concerned and bid fair to pinnge the sharenolders into prolonged and bitier legal complications. The irouble all arose, according to one of the larger stockholders, out of the un- reasonable claims of the superintendent, who is dexcribed as a thorouzhly compe- tent contractor, but who, like many other solo, “Queen ‘of the E:rth” (Pinsutl), Aioy Werner; twblean, “The Nativity”; seiéction Company A, L. €.

It is said that he is of a very the San Francisco Sanitary | ~uspicious, reasona fault-finding, obstinate, un- le disposition, and assumed on | s, and that favorable 15 his | view of the matter, was possible. Two | weeks ago Thackery was forb dden to enter the works, but mutters were finally patched up his witbdrawal altogetber. This, it is said, was brou about by ome pecuniary sacrifice, | ich ali the | stockholders d, and for the present at least ail harmony down in the dumps. | Thackery | 'TENPIN GAMES | | bers are for honor and amusemen: solely | seiected from one of the bowling clubs of | joved by the pla; "ARE POPULAR.| Bowling is one of the indoor pastimes that are being fancied by lovers of ciean athletic sport, and in the near fature it will be heard of as one of the popular pastimes, Outside of the Olympic Ciub alley, pos- sibly, the best patronized alley in this | city is the Xcho on Powell and Ellis | streets.

Leasing Houses for Im- moral Furposes, The Defendant’s Attorney Announces That the Case Will Be Carried to the Supreme Court. Judge Campbell and Chief of Police Lees have buried the hatchet, and as an illustration of the fact the Judge yester- day morning convicted Charles Al'als on the charge of leasing houses on St. Mar, sireet for immoral purposes. Tne dismissal by the Judre of the pre- vious case against Allais, brought under the or iinance passed by the Board of Su- pervisors, roused the ire of the Chief, and | led to uncomplimentary remarks being pacsed on each vide. Now all is peace. | When the case was called yesterday morning Attorney Morgenstern, on be- balf of the defendant, moved for a dis- | missal on.the ground that the prosecu- tion nad failed to make out a prima facie case, as there had been no testimony that could convince the court of the guilt of the defendant, and that the portion of the | Penal Code onder which the complaint | wWas made that the defendant knowingly leased the hous s for immoral purposes was unconstitutional. The Judge denied the motion and At-| torney Morganstern announced that he had no testimony to offer for the defense. In this case,’’ said the Judge, ‘“the testimony is ample and I have no hesita- tion in declaring the defendant guilty as charged and ofder that he appear for sentenze Monday morning. “The business the defendant is engaged in i1s a most shameless one and i wish to { state that notwith~anding contrary re- ports made by «fliciais who do not appear to understand the law, I am here to en- force it and will on uall occasions convict when the facts justi y. “The time has arrived when the in- babitants of St. Mary’s street and Quincy street should move. In the vicinity there is & church, and these women flaunt their shame in the faces of womean and chil- dren_attending the chrrcn. It is no wonder that under the circumstances the clergy has raised its voice sgainst these outcusts of society. Personally I will be | found at all times zealous in doing mv duty in cleansing the city of such foul nuisances.” Atiorney Morgensrern gave notice that he would appeal the case to the Superior Court and to the Supreme Court, if neces- | sary. Incidentally, the trial of A'lais will re- sult in testing the rizht of Police Judges to employ stenographers in misdemeanor ca es. Durihg the hearing of the case the evidence was taken down and transcribed by Howard Vernon, the courl stenog- rapher, and yesterday he presented to the Judge a bill for eighty folios. The Judge | signed the ducument, and the stenog- rapher will present it to the Treasurer for | Coy the Treasurer | P! payment. In the event oi refusing 10 pay it an action to compel him t0 do so will be commenced in the Superior Court. HURT HER FEELINGS, David Waters Arrested for Using Vulgar Laoguage to Mrs. Adele Moore. Mrs. Alele Moore, 627 O'Farrell street, wife of Altorney Moure, swore to a com- j plaint in Judge Low’s court yesteriay charging David Waters with using vulgar | | language. Mrs. Moore occupies the first floor of the house, which belongs to her, and Alexan- der Waters and his wife and brother David occuny the top floer. “We did_not getalong well together, ssid Mrs. Moore to the assistant pros cuting attorney, “and last Saiurday night I heard a feartul aisturbance upstairs. 1 went up to see what was the matter and Alexander Waters bad his wife across the banisters and was beating her.
