The music rendered by the choir was better than is usually heard in church- es, and the sopranos and the bassos showed off to especial advantage, After the services in the church p Nicholoson retired tothepriest’'s where he received and enter- a number of guests at tea. A CELEBRATED @RTIST HERE. Miss Magda Heuermann Visiting Friends in This City. Miss Madga M. Heuermann, the cele- miniature painter, has recently ived in San Francisco from Chicago, making her first visit to this coast. She ~s organized a class in miniature work the studio of Mrs. T. W. Church, 307 Sansome street, room 3, where her work is on exhibition. Miss Heuermann was born in4Gales- burg, Jil, and_having spent the greater part of her life in that State is well known to all wuo are interested in minia- tures and keramics. She has studied abroad under the famous masters of the school, modern Munich, and espe ly so in Lerbach. Her German char- , faithful and finished. best work shown In this country is from her brush, notably por- traits in both life size and miniatures. liss Heuermann's miniatures on ivory Immediately the bells the golden gates leading from the inner sanctuary were thrown open as if by magic, and monk, robed in upon the c ued forth, followed by a small ion of priests and lesser digni- taries of the church. Upon leaving the sanctuary he! marched through the church, where, save the sound of his own prayers, e erything was hushed in silence, to a sacred portal leading from the church | to the inner sanctuary of Bishop Nich- oloson. Upon coming in sight of the bishop standing at the door with the upraised emblem of Christianity in his hand the entire congregation immediately bowed, made the sign of the cross, chanting as they did =0 a hymn of praise. The Bishop, upen entering thechurch, went directly to the sacred gates lead- ing to the sanctuary; and, after offer- ing up a brief prayer, repaired to his throne in the center of the church, where he was assisted in donning his vestments by the assistant priest, pre- Atory to saying the mass. The celebration of mass in the Orien- tal Church, although it differs consid- from the Roman Catholic, is nevertheless impressive and inspiring. The vestments used by the Bishop in esterday’s ceremony were similar to those used in the Romish Church, with | the exception that the cross was not worn on both sides of the vestment | used by the celebrant of the mass, as is the case with the Roman priest wh i he says mass. | In addition to the celebration of mass | in honor of the new year, special serv- the circumcision of Christ and also the an- | niversary of the feast day of St. Basil. | Members of the church, without ex- | ception, contributed money toward the purchase of wax candles, to be burne in front of the statues of Christ and St. | commemorate the anniversary of the saint. All through the sacred observance of mass the choir chanted religious hymns and answered the monotonous chant of | the Bishop. The ceremony of blessing the sacred mass book and other religious articles on the altar is almost identical with that of the Roman’ Catholic Church, | the only difference being that the Cath- olic priest never goes beyond the steps | of the altar with the consecrated book, | while in the Greek ceremony the book Is taken frbm its position on the altar | and is carried to the Bishop's throne in | the center of the church to be conse- crated. All through the long service the members of the congregation are com- peiled to stand, never changing their | attitude but twice, and then at the ele- | vation of the host they kneel. The most impressive part of yester- day’s services was the confession of a young man, who knelt before the priest and offered up his prayers to God ask- ing for forgiveness, and receiving the body and blood of Christ in holy com- munion. After the celebration of mass the spe- clal observance was held in honor of the circumcision. It was a brief cere- mony, and consisted in kissing the sa- cred image of Our Lord affixed to a brazen cross and also the receiving of the consecrated bread by the entire congregation. It was an impressive spectacle to see the members of the church marching in single file to the altar and receiving the desired privi- lege of kissing the efligy of their Sav- for, outstretched upon the cross, and recetving a portion of his consecrated body, which was given them after kiss- ing the cross. The interfor of the church presented a maze of lights, which afforded a most dazzling spectacle to the eye. In the center of the church and di- rectly above the Bishop’s throne was a magnificent silver-plated hanging can- delabrum, studded with myriads of wax candles, presenting a most beautiful sight. . In the front of the church and just inside the entrance to it was a similar blaze of light from another hanging candelabrum.

Kearny, S.F. | CAPTURE OF A DESPERATE MAY Brought to Town by a Brave Posse of Four Constables From Marin. The Authorities Did Not Want Him Because Confederate Notes Are Not Counterfeit. A Constable from Novato, Marin County, with three stalwart assistants, brought a prisoner into the office of the | United States District Attorney yester- day and caused great excitement among | the bystanders. The prisoner was a lit- | tle man, skinny, but with a very bad eve, and there was no doubt at all in the mind of Deputy Attorney Schlesinger that he must be a desperate train robber | and murderer. The strong guard and the tightly that his wrists were bruised and bleeding confirmed this suspicion. ‘““We’'ve got a prisoner here,” said the Constable, with an air of great import- an. “I see you have,” sald Mr. Schles- | inger, “but don't you think it would be | well to loosen up those handcuffs a little?"” This was done, and the officer wiping | the perspiration off his brow, announced that he had captured a daring and dan- gerous counterfeiter in the town of No- > to. What's he been doing?” ! He's been trying to pass a $1 Confed- | erate bill, and here’'s the evidence,” and the officer waved the bill in the air. Gently, but firmly, Mr. Schlesinger in- formed the Novato officer that the act was not an offense against any United States law, and suggested that he take the prisoner before some Justice of the Peace at Novato and charge him with fraud. The posse went out with their little man crestfallen and got on a Sansome- | street horse car to go to the ferry, and the prisoner jumped off the car and made | a dash for liberty. The four officers fol- | lowed in hot pursult, shouting like In- dians on the war path, and the unfortu- nate little man, who did not welgh more | than 120 pounds, was caught by a San | Francisco policeman and handed over to | the sleuths from Marin. ! —_————— | Sudden Death of a Carpenter.

Story of an Unhappy Married Life Told on the Stand by the Plaintiff. ’ Defendant Also Has an Inning and Adds Much 10 the Distressing Tale of Woe. The suit of Grace F. Shaln against her husband, Joseph E. Shain, a colle ROBBED BY LIGHT OF DAY Collector Knocked Down Yesterday After- noon. Was Relieved of Fifty Dollars by Unknown Assail- ants. He Was Making His Regular Rounds for the Filmer - Rollins Company. Joseph Morris, collector for Filmer, tor, for divorce promises to be a bit- | terly contested one, and to allow the | family skeleton to stalk out before the | eves of the world that it may gossip | and wonder. The action commenced be- ‘ fore Judge Daingerfield Wednesday morning and the plaintiff commenced | to build up her case. Mrs. Shain was first called to the stand and told the story of her sufferings and reasons for charging her husband with cruelty and | intemperance in her application for | divorce. She testifled that some time prior to her application for divorce she had | been practically without funds with | which to keep herself and children. As “the wolf” oftimes threatened to come inatthedoor through necessity she d posed of most of her personal property. Her baby’s little bed was first to be sacrificed when sh money and then wh the rich and pretty chased for it had to be sold and coarser ones used instead. Thus plece by piece the furniture of the house was disposed of until the only furniture that remain- was in need of vn that had gone clothes she pur- belonged to an outside party. Another interesting incident in the unhappy married life occurred early one morning when Mrs. Shain, accord- ing to her testimony, returned to her home, from which she had fled the | night before in fear to a friend's house, and found her piano on the sidewalk | and a couple of men Teady to cart it | to a warehouse. In the distance she | id she saw her husband disappear over a hill and knew that he had made an effort to get the piano. Mrs. Shain, | after assuring the men that she wanted no trouble, drew a revolver from within her cape as a means of assuring them | that such was the case, and then paid them double the price offered by her husband to move the instrument to a neighbor’'s house, The plano movers immediately com- plied with her request and Mrs, Shain was the victor and her husband again outwitted. A servant girl, at one time | employed in the home of the Shains, testified that she had seen the head of | the family in an_intoxicated condition, but how often she did not remember. She had also expostulated with him in | fear that he would strike his wife, but | s to whether or not he ever did the | girl was unable to state. Yesterday afternoon when the case was continued the oldest daughter of | the iitizants was called to the stand. She told in an unwavering manner the story of her parents’ troubles. Her father, she said, was in the habit of nightly sleeping with a revolver under his pillow, much to the discomfort of his family. Many times, the witness sald, in the still watches of the night her father would come into her room, kneel down beside her bed and ery and moan in anguish. On being ques. | tioned the young woman said that her father complained that nobody loved | him and that he was greatly grieved. On other occasions her father would come into her room and lie down be- side her on the bed and moan until sleep closed his eyves. “When my fa- ther used to lie down beside me his touch would make me shudder,” said the witness. *“He knew that I did not like to have him near me on the bed, but still he came.” Miss Shain then told the court as to how her father used to whip her younger sister when | she was very young and that he was oft times intoxicated, a condition which failed in a material degree to ;;nzmem the happiness of those about m. After the daughter had concluded her testimony Shain, the defendant, had an inning on the stand and explained | mony. Outside the articles Mrs. Shain testified as to having sold in order to maintain herself and children she dis- posed of several more according to the statements of her husband. The de- fendant said that an elegant water- proof coat went the way of several other of his possessions. His wife ob- was easily worth five or six times that amount, but that fact mattered but lit- tle to her.” The next thing he missed was his dress suit and then discourage- ment came to him. Regarding the statement made on the stand that he had returned to his home with a bro- ken nose one evening he denied it, but admitted that fourteen years prior to meeting his wife he sustained a fract- ure of his nasal organ. Regarding al- nude condition Shain made positive de- nial. He had never left his home a la Adam, and the statements that he had were false. He will probably tell more of the story of his home experi- ences when the case is continued, which will probably Be next Tuesday. Sunday-School Entertalnment. | wonderful painting, “The Blacksmith, The children attending St. James Sun- day-school held an interesting entertain~ ment at Mission Turn Verein Hall last night. A splendid programme of musi- cal numbers and recitations was ren- dered, concluding with a drama entitled “Among the Pines.” Rollins & Co., electrotypers, claims he | was attacked by two men on Washing- | ton street, near Sansome, about 4 c’clock yesterday afternoon, who, after | dragging him into a doorway, robbed | him of $50. Before robbing him, he | vs, one of them struck him over the head with an iron bar, cutting a deep gash. According to the story told by Morris, he was walking along Washington street, and when a few doors below | Sansome he was seized by his assail- ants, one of whom grabbed him by the throat. After threatening to strangle him if he made an outcry, he was then thrown into the doorway of an empty | house and robbed of his money. Morris | was subsequently taken to the Receiv-| ing Hospital, where the wound in his | head was dressed by Dr. Conrad Weil. As soon as the alleged robbery was reported to Chief Lees, Detectives Gib- son and Wren were detailed to make an investigation. They closely ques- tioned Morris, but he was unable to | give the faintest clew which would lead to the identity of the robbers. | He declared that he did not see the | men, as they attacked him from be- | hind, and after carrying him into the | doorway they at once struck him over | the head, the force of the blow ren-| dering him senseless. When he re-| gained consciousness a few minutes | later the alleged robbers were gone. The detectives ridicule the story of the | robbery. They believe that Morris en- | gaged in some saloon row and was | beaten. ‘When seen last night George Filmer, | secretary of the company, said: *“We | have not seen Morris since the robbery. | He has been with this firm for man: years and has always been a reliable man, or we would not have entrusted him with the collection of bills due us. | Word came to us from Gates’ drug| store that Morris had been carried | there in an unconscious condition, but | when we went there he had Been car- | ried to the Receiving Hospital.” | “THE BLACKSMITH.” | Delorme’s $50,000 Painting a Masterpiece of Modern | Art. The fiction of the reality in Delorme” now on exhibition in the art room of | the Emporium, is almost magical. As you stand in front of the canvas it is harder to imagine the reality than the | fiction. In a dusky, musty, rusty old shop, with the sunlight streaming in on his back and the charcoal fire flam- | ing in his face, there stands the bare- armed, muscular forger, pulling the | bellows rope and holding his pinchers ready to remove the iron in the coals; | and the sparks fly out. He is a living | figure—the flames, the sparks, are | burning fire, and the sunshine is warm and alive. You see three qualities of sunlight. Through a dusty, cobwebbed window at his back it streams lavishly, but with subdued fervor. From some- where else, in the roof, perhaps, there is more mellow, diffused radiance. But from under the door, through the slightest unevenness, comes springing one ray of joyous, boisterous, vivid light, hampered by nothing. You gaze at this picture and are in the shop, in | the dust, treading the rusty iron refuse, feeling the fire heat, hearing the surge | of the bellows and roar of the fire. Ah, it is marvelous. Why, even the old an- vil has its stains and its wounds—its readiness to sing and its scngs! BUILDING TRADES COUNCIL. It Objects to the Threatened Decrease in Wages at the Mint. | The $40,000 reduction in the appropria- tion for the mailitenance of the San Francisco Mint, and the consequent threatened reduction of 20 to 30 per cent in the wages of the employes, has cre- ated considerable discussion, particularly in labor circles, and at last night's meet- ing of the Building Trades Council the | matter was brought up for consideration. The members were one and all of the opinion that a reduction of the wages OF the working man in one branch of | business means corresponding decrease | in the amount of money he will spend | during the month, and a proportionate | falling off In other lines of business de- pendent upon his support. A committee was appointed to con- sider the matter and introduced the fdi- lowing resolutions, which were unani- mously adopted: Whereas, It has been brought to the knowledge of the Building Trades Coun- cil of San Francisco that the Federal Government is contemplating a reduc- tion of the wages of the men who do the actual work and are the poorest paid in the United States Mint located in San Francisco, therefore be it Resolved, That we, the Building Trades Council, in regular meeting assembled, do hereby vigorousl, protest against the Government's reducing the wages of the above-mentioned employes, and do earn- estly request our representatives in ‘Washington to use their influence against such reduction. A committee corsisting of J. Rose, W. Page, M. C. Hencken and C. J. Cross- ley were appointed to draw up a petition requesting Governor Budd to use his ex- ecutive clemency in the case of Salter D. ‘Worden, who is condemned to die for wrecking a train in the railroad strike. The committee which was appointed two weeks ago to wait on the Harbor Commissioners and urge that body to see that nothing but California products be used in the furnishing of the new ferry depot reported that the Harbor Com- missioners had treated them with great courtesy, but the interview was useless, as the two important contracts in ques- tion had already been let to local firms who employ unfon men. —————— STILL UNSATISFIED. Mrs. O'Keefe's Children Still Doubt as to Their Mother's Whereabouts. The O'Keefe case is still worrying Oak- land soclety. Some say that if the mother is living she would tend her children and others J‘mt forth the idea that she has either deserted the whole family or else met with foul play. It is claimed that Edgie, the oldest boy, is of the belief that hi§ mother is still in the land of the living, but the other chil- in dren, the girls, agree that their mother has met with foul play. A portion of the Oakland police force belleve t the girls’ 1dea is the correct one and still oth- ers think the case is limlzl one of deser- tion. However, the children say that their mother was sober in her habits, and | Walla Wednesday and registered | his eyes upon the cattleman that the father was the one to blame f¢ m: present trouble. i e BUNKO MEN GOT ALL HIS COIN J. W. Kite, a Miner From British Columbia, the Vietim. He Was on His Way to This City for Treatment and Parted With $8381. * Captain Bohen Has Detailed Two Detectives to Search for the Confidence Operators. The number of people who report to | the police that they have been the vic- tims of bunko men is astonishing, the more so 4s most of them are men gift- | ed with ordinary intelligence and in their different spheres are looked upon as successful and shrewd in their deal- ings with their fellow men. J. W. Kite, a miner from Silverton, B. C., is the latest victim heard from. He | called at police headquarters yesterday morning and told Captain Bohen a pitl- ful story which aroused the sympathy of the veteran detective. Kite is troubled with a tumor on the back and left Silverton about a week ago to come to a sanitarium in this city to have it attended to. While in Seattle waiting for the steamer to bring him here he met a man who in- | troduced himself as a cattleman on his way to this city. Kite, being a stranger here, was only too glad to make the ac- quaintance of such an obliging and well-dressed man. They walked around that city and finally Kite was led into a room and introduced to another man. The cattleman suggested to the other that they should have a quiet game of poker. They played a few hands, the cattleman winning about $2,500. He took Kite aside and told him con- fidentially that if he had any money he could join him and they would share the winnings. He showed Kite a bogus draft for $2,500 on a bank in San Fran- cisco to prove to him that he was a man of means. The bait took and Kite handed him $251 in cash and a draft on a San Francisco bank for $300, which at the request of the cattleman he in- dorsed. < The cattleman and the other man started to play again and, of course, luck turned, and in a short time the cattleman had lost all his money, in- cluding the draft and money given him by Kite. Kite was dazed by his loss, but the cattleman came to his rescue and mag- | nanimously offered to buy a ticket for him to take him to this city by steam- er. He did so, and it was not till Kite | had told his story to a fellow passen- | ger that he became aware of the fact that the cattleman was a confederate i of the other bunko man. Kite arrived by the steamer Walla at the New Western Hotel. He wired to his friends in Silverton to send him a supply of funds as he was penniless, and yesterday morning reported the case at police headquarters. Captain Bohen at once notified the local banks not to cash the $300 draft if presented for payment, and to at once telephone him if anyone should present it. He also instructed detec- tives Egan and T. B. Gibson to go around with Kite to see if he could lay or the other bunkq man. “It is hard upon me,” said Kite yes- terday, “as it is necessary that I should have the operation performed at once and now I will have to wait till T get money from home, as they left me without a cent. I suppose they took me for a simple miner and thought I was an easy thing. Well, T suppose they were not far wrong, but it will be a lesson for me for the rest of my life. If I could only get the draft for $300 it would not be so bad, but I am afraid I will never see it again.” Libel @gainst the Navarro. Frank E. Morley, a seafaring man, filed a libel yesterday in the TUnited States Circuit Court against the steam- ship Navarro, to recover $15,400 damages for injuries alleged to have been sus- | tained by him by reason of the fall upon him of a cage of railroad ties, which the complainant was assisting in loading on board the steamer at Usal, Mendocino County, on August 21, 1897. The com- plaint alleges that the fall of the cage of ties was caused by the breaking of a wire cable, the said cable being unsound and worthle: D. T. Sullivan and F. W.
