Over the new foundation a beautiful American flag waved, and above the old a white cross gleamed, beautiful mingling of patriot- ism and religion. People stood for more than an hour on the raised platform, crowded the side- walks, blocked the streets, stood on every available veranda and peered eagerly from scores of windows to witness the beautiful ceremony of the dedication of a church to God. On the platform the clergy were numer- ous, their devout manner impressing those who were too far away to hear and who could only see the ceremonials. The ceremony proper began after the chi had sung a song, Archbishop Rior- dan formally laying the corner stone and offering prayers for the church. During this ceremony there was impressive si- lence, and when the last words of the prayer had died away the choir again sang, after which Rev. Father Yorke de- livered an eloquent address jd and me: of the ceremony. The spea < loudly applauded at the conclus which went in a brief and general w: o i W, n of his masterful address, on and the Church of Rome.

The old church is not destroyed in this merging of its memories and asso- ciation, its aims and purposes, in the new.” The orator then referred to the great scope of the work of the church, its de- votion to the cause of humanity and its consecration to God in all lands and amid all sorts of conditions. He argued that it is the duty of man to build better houses for God than for himself, for it is the place of worship, the place where all the children of God may assemble and pour | forth their hearts and become better men and women. Continuing, the speaker sald: ‘*‘As this great work stands here now being fin- ished for the great work of redeeming | mankind I can foresee the good that is to come from its building. It will remind the living of their duties and obligations to God and to man, and through the silence of the night as well as under the hlazln% suns of the day, as the years roll on, i will sound the note of theold ?rophet that all is vanity; that worldly life leads to ruin. You are to show by deeds what you think of this church and of your God. It is not by words that you or I must make our records or show how we appreciate the churches which our prosperity enables us to build. It is by lives of purity and righteousness that we are to show the | depths of our sincerity and true feeling. !

The old church has an interesting his- tory and a distinction that no other Cath- lic church ever had—its rechristening for the third time. It is the pioneer of modern churches here, having been erected in the_ early part of 18551 on the site where the Palace Hotel now stands. It was dedicated March 17, 1852, and christened St. Patrick’s. It remained there until 1870, when it was re- moved to Mission street, where the new church of St. Patrick now stands. In 1872 it was agaln moved to Eddy street, between Laguna and Octavia, where for a time it served as a pro-ca- thedral, where services were held until the completion of the cathedral which now graces Van Ness avenue, and its name was changed to St. John's to Its name to the Church of the Holy Cross. To rechristen a church for the third time is something unique in Catholic history. The little old church, vine-covered and set in the rear of a well-kept garden, is now serving its last year as a house of worship. By the first of next year the new church on the foundation of which the builders started six months ago will be ready to recelve its people. Father McGinty, the pastor, dug out the first shovelful of dirt in the shape of a cross and just about where the new altar will stand. Since then the work has been progres- sing rapidly. The church structure, without the altars or decoratlons, will cost $55,000, and when thoroughly completed with stained- glass windows, frescoing and permanent altars, the cost will be about. $80,000. The exterior of the church will be some- thing unique in its architectural features, being of Greclan classic, adapted to the Roman conception, and its main feature will. be a portico standing out from the main facade of the building and sup- ported by six large monolithic pillars, surmounted by Ionic caps and sustained by the same kind of a base. The front of the structure will be of stone obtained from Site’s quarry, near Colusa. The rest of it will be of brick, covered with cement. The¢ whole will be surmounted by two beautiful towers about 150 feet in height, and the dimen- glons of the church will be 78x141:6 feet. The seating capacity will be 750, not in- cluding the choir gallery. WS, Statisticians claim that the earth will not support more than about 5,994,000,- 000 people.

NOT SHADOWS, BUT SUBSTANCE Much Is Expected of the Grand Jury Now ! at Work. Harry Thomas’ Folly Should Not Cloak Serious Crimes. Removal of Lloyd and Fair Was Evidently a Popular Action. Oankland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 3. Not for many months has this county been so interested in its Grand Jury as it is just now. For two months that body has been probing into all sorts of scan- | dals, but so far nothing has come of it. The indictment of Harry Thomas is not the result of any work of the Grand Jury, being simply a charge growing out of a | choice of stories told the jurors by a man who committed perjury. It is time some- thing dropped—that is, if there be any- thing to drop. The indictment of Harry because no one blames him for the long and growing list of scandals at the City | Hall. Although he has tried to borrow a | hundred here and there, no one credits him with buying and selling Boards of Health and Councilmen or with raising corruption funds. Proof of the fact that either Harry Thomas or Robert Mc- | Kenzie tried to borrow money is not of much value and will not purify the Augean stable of municipal politics. People want to know something definite. | Thomas has not appeased public opinion, | in part as follows: | WARM SUPPORT FOR McKINLEY Rev.Dr.Coyle Uses Strong Language in the Pulpit.

It breathes and burns through the columns of many Of our papers. It sputters and fumes through the halls of Congress. It flames out here and there in mass meetings and sometimes it thunders in pulpits dedicated to the gospel of peace. Nor is this outburst of feeling always wrong. I am very far from saying that the war spirit is always to be deplored and denounced, or that the appeal to arms Is never justifiable. There are times in the history of nations when peace would be an outrage, an injustice, a cowardly exhibition of inhumanity. There are times when righteousness demands that the They want to know if Woodward was pought and who bought him; if Henne- berry received any inducement to hand. in so many resolutions; if policemen bought positions on the force; if allopathic doc- tors put up a fund to pay the Mayor's doctor's Dbill and capture the Board of Health; who is resposible for the water- rate payers having to pay such exorbitant Tates after July 1. These are the ques- tions the public is asking and which they would like answering. The grand furies of the past four years | have been expensive bodies to this coun- tv. The actual payment of salary and | mileage to jurors is but a small item com- | pared to the thousands of dollars that | have been spent in prosecuting indict- ments with no beneficlal result. Indict- | ments were returned against the Board | of Supervisors for alleged misuse of county funds; nearly a score of Indict- ments were issued against County Au-| ditor Whidden; one was brought against | Deputy Tax Collector Ernest Mayrisch; and another against Supervisor Roeth. | What has become of them all?

Rarely have such Iimportant changes with less comment than those made last week at the City Hall. Outside of a few been heard. Messrs. Clement and Thomas have been somewhat criticized for the re- moval of Chief Lloyd. It has been argued that he was an efficient officer. Three years ago when he was appointed chief by a Populist Board of Works he knew absolutely nothing of police duty and was appoint solely for political reasons. Captain Fletcher, who has succeeded Chief Lloyd, has been over twenty years on the force, has always been a stanch Republican, has the respect and confi- dence of everybody in the city and is the natural and logical man for the place. Mr. Lloyd has certainly been amply re- pald for his political services and cer- tainly has nothing to expect from the Re- publican party. It is belleved that a project is on foot | to remove Street Superintendent Miller. This would be a grave mistake, especially with all the street work now in progress, and Mayor Thomas will do wisely to heed the advice of the merchants, so forcibly expressed by the Board of Trade and Merchants’ Exchange. Mr. Miller's poli- tics is an unknown quantity, but it is | said he is a Republican. Certain it is that politics has never entered into his depart- ment. Chief Lloyd and Chief Fair were offensively partisan in their politics, but such is not the case with Mr. Miller. His department is a practical one and the merchants of Oakland, almost unani- mously, indorse his officlal course; it is indisputable that Mr. Miller is the right man in the right place, for Oakland’s merchants are not always partakers at a love feast. A lady sent me a letter a few days ago asking if something could not be done to provide a woman attendant at the Morgue for female cases. The need for such was made painfully apparent last week when a younf girl committed sui- cide and was taken in charge by the Cor- oner. No fault was made with the man- ner in which the girl was handled, but when the ladies visited the remains and inspected the wound a woman attendant would have seemgd more appropriate. The case cannot be argued, but the sug- gestion is obviously worth consideration. It is hardly likely that a public park will be acquired, or that a new City Hall ‘will be built during the present municipal administration. The Solid Six will reor- ganize the Council to-morrow night and they have taken good care to put them- selves in positions as regards committees —for themselves. No matter in what form anything may be attempted for the next year, it will fail to meet with the appro- val and confidence of the public. Fancy the Solid Six being intrusted .y the peo- sle of Oakland to spend half a million un- er any circumstances. ith Hels n for President, Woodward for chairman of Finance Committee, Watkinson at the of th re-and Water Committee, what more can their friends and suj STUART W.

Nothing else can meet the case. It was so when our colonies, after appealing and appealing in vain, rose up in holy wrath and threw off the yoke of George III. There was nothing else for conscientlous, liberty-loving men to do. It was God's war | and every blow they struck in that conflict | was o blow in the interests of humanity and for his glory. It was so when Fort Sumter | was fired upon. To_have sued for peace at the expense of the Union and by leaving the shackles on the slaves would have been a sin and an outrage in the sight of heaven. Abra- ham Lincoln said that it was also God's war, and he was right. The men who marched and the men who fought and the men who died to keep the flag in the sky and to emancipate a race were missionaries of righteousness.

First peace then | peaceable. First righteous, that is the pri- | mary, the supreme thing, then draw the sword, | or put it in the scabbard as necessity may de | mand. There 1 stand on Scriptural grounds, and | standing there, I beg leave to make & few ob- | servations and to state my own convictions. | T do it, T trust, with all due deference to the opinfons of wiser men than myself, modestly, hesitatingly, but, nevertheless, firmly. I bi | lieve that the time has come for us, as a P | ple, to reallze that we belong to the felio | ship of nations, commercially, politically, philanthropically, religiously, and every other way, and that it is no longer right or possi- | ble for us to reman isolated In our own hemis- phere and say, ‘‘Let the nations of Europe | and the nations of the East take care of them- | selves, and we will take care of ourselves.’ That doctrine will not do. It is too narrow and too selfish, and proposes a peace for us of_righteousness. So long as we belong to the community of | nations we are, according to our measure, re- sponsible for the peace and stability and well | being_of the world. When the Turks were | slaughtering the Armenians, putting helpless women and children to the sword by thousands, | pillaging and plundering, and scattering deso- | lation, we had no right to fall back upon our | isolation and say, bad, It is shocking. | It is awful, but as a peaceable and far-away | peaple we can do nothing.” Rather than in- terfere we allowed American property to be destroyed and American missionaries to be un- protected. It was not a reassuring _display | either of patriotism or human brotherhood. | “And what shall we say of the movements in | the far East? It looks as though China were about to be divided up, partitioned out among two or three strong and plundering nations, as thieves divide thefr booty. England will prob- ably speak. Japan will probably have some- thing to say. But Is America to shut herself | up within her own coasts and do nothing? Upon what principle of justice, or liberty, or humanity can she do it? Is it too much to say, as was gald In Brooklyn two or three weeks ago, that the time is at hand when America should say to those grasping nations that would corner the trade of China and con- trol her ports for their own gain, ‘“We, too, stand, not for our own aggrandizement, not for our own commercial wealth, not for our own uplifting, but we stand for freedom in other lands as well as in our own, and you must take account of America if you under- take to destroy that liberty.”” Without right- eousness the nations may cry peace, peace, but there will be no peace. Come nearer home. War has been raging and still rages almost within sight of our shores. An oppressed_people have 1ohg been struggling to be free. With a heroism, a determination that commands the admiration of all who love liberty, they are trying to break away from the tyranny that grinds them to powder. Already 400,000 of them have gone down in Starvatlon and death. It is an awful story to rehearse at the close of the nineteenth century and ought to mantle the cheek of ‘the Chris- tian world with shame. When told on the floors of the United States Senate strong men wept Ifke children, so dreadful was it. Even now we are told that the wretched Cubans are starving and dving at the rate of 1000 a day. The blowing up of the Maine was bad, a horrible murder that sent a thrill of indigna- tion through the Jland and the world, but awful as it was it becomes completely in- significant_alongside of the larger questlon of Justice to a. 1t will not do to say the people of that island are poor and weak and ignorant and degraded and not worth fighting for. Such a statement is unworthy of an American citizen, and on the lips of a Christian it is blasphemy against God. The poorer they are the more pewerfully should their condition appeal to the sympathy and protection of the American people who are strong. Say not that they are degraded. Say not_that they are far below us in the scale of civilization. ~ Say not that they are poverty- stricken and immoral. Nay, they are our brothers and have a right fo our protection and the deliverence which we have it in our power to give. If ever our fathers who fought at Bunker Hill and suffered at Valley Forge and left the blood stains of their naked feet deserved to be free, the Cubans deserve to be f “It is ree. In this whole matter our President, iIn my judgment, has manifested a_patlence, a_discre- tion, a wisdom worthy of the people whom he represents and of the exalted office he fills. Thrice is he armed who hath his auarrel just. and President McKinley has _conscientiously sought to do the just thing. He is certainly entitled to the suoport and confidence and sym- y of his countrymen in these days of t And all things considered, our people have exhibited a most commendable self- control.

But occasions sometimes arise and the hour sometimes strikes when forbearance ceases to be a virtue. Who will say that hour has not come? T do mot speak for war. God forbid. As a boy I lived through the scenes of our own great rebellion. I remember enough of it to make me shudder.

The Cuban Warfare Compared ‘With the Armenian Massacre. Honored God by Moving Slowly, but He Will Be Dishonored by Delay Now. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, April 3. Rev. C. H. Hobart of the First Baptist Church delivered a stirring address to- night as a prelude to his evening sermon on the question “Shall We Fight Spain?” During the Armenian massacre Mr. Ho- bart delivered one of the strongest de- nunciations ever heard in a pulpit against | the inaction of the powers. To-night he compared the present Cuban ‘warfare with that affair and declared that every word uttered at that time was applicable to the United States, should she permit | { | the present policy of starvation to con- | tinue longer. His prelude was as follows Shall we fight Spain? This Is a serious question. Thousands of voices are replying, yes, with no serious appreciation of the awful- hess of war. Only as a last resort should we g0 to war. It is too frightful in Its conse- quences, it Is too brutalizing in its influences, it is oo terrible and too expensive to be under- taken unless stern necessity is upon us. Yet there are certain conditions upder which we must fight. If these conditions are found to exist a declaration of war is the only thing left us if we would retain our self respect as a nation. As a nation we fought for our in- dependence and before God were justified. As @ nation we fought to preserve the Union our fathers had established and by deity and his- tory we have been justified.” Now the only uestion worth considering 18, would we_ be- fore high heaven be justified in a war with Spain? 1 think we would on two conditions. First—We would be justified should Spain finally and absolutely refuse to make reason- able and just amends for the loss we have suffered of life and treasure in the destruction of the Maine. We must not let the destruc- tion of that vessel and those brave men go without all the reparation it is possible for Spain to make. But we must give her reason- able time to make such reparation. If she finally and absolutely refuses we must fight. Theére is another condition under which we must fight. It is this: The refusal of Spain to cease her barbarities in Cuba. disgrace of Europe that the atrocities of Ar- menia were allowed and that the unspeakable Turk slaughtered her subjects with scarcely a | rotest on the part of the powers. God will old the nations responsible for permitting such an infamy, and that right at their doors. Now the conditions are changed. The atrocl- tles are at our door. Cuba is our neighbor. The methods of Spain are a disgrace to sav- ages, not to say to civilization. Every demand of humanity calls upon us for prompt interference. In this matter wo have delayed too long. Forbearance long ago ceased to be @ virtue. As a nation we should have insisted months 8,50 that Spain conduct her campalgn against Cuba according to the rules of civilized warfare. This she has not done, as the starving thousands of women and children who occupy the prison pens of Cuba only too terribly t common humanity and in the fear of must say to Spain, you have demonstrated your inability to rule Cuba with humanity and | justice. Now she must be allowed to rule her- self. Every sentiment of humanity, every heart beat of Jjustice, every prompting ot righteousness calls upon us as a nation to in- terfere in the Interests of elan’lng and dying men, women and children, even though {t re- sults in war with Spain. Our leaders have honored God by movi elowly, but the time has come when God will be dishonored by our longer sitting still. Spain must promptly act in the I nterests of righteousness or we must fight Spain. b 5 O Clear ® Partly Cloudy @ Cloudy ® Rarn® Snow, {SHADED AREAS SHOW, PRECIPITATION| {_DURING PAST 12 MouRs EXPLANATION.
