The following prayer was then offersd 1c Rev. Mr. Bane. the whole congr gation along the aisies and on the stai in the passages and in the spacious gal- lery kneeling: “Father, we need thy comfort, thy taining grace under the shadow which has been cast. Help us this day to take com- #@ort. We realize when aflliction presseth heaviest about us God's presence is near- est: then, with great affection, we look up to thee to find peace and consolation. We thank thee, O Lord, that the grave has become an open way to ¢ternal glory, and now, Our Father, we ask thy special, ten- der care for the afflicted ones. Be thou a comfort to them and may they not bury their hearts in the dust of the earth, burt follow the Spirit. This sad affliction, this awful tragedy is a lesson to this commu- 7, and, O Lord, assist those to find him upon whose hand rests the blood of this child. We pray thee that his hiding place may soon be known, and that we may be more careful, more watchful oyer those we love that such a sorrow may never again come over this city.” After the prayer, Mrs. T. J. Strawbridge rendercd “Moment by Moment." ‘which was followed by Scripture reading and the singing of the beautiful hymn, “Rock of Ages. Pastor’s Eloquent Tribute. At the conclusion of the hymn the Rev. Mr. Bane delivered an eloquent and pro- found address, dealing not alone with the fiend whose crime has stirred the whole land, but also with the duties of the parent toward the child and the child’'s loyalty to the parent. His tribute to the virtue and the lovable nature of Nora Fuller, his pride in the remembrznce that she had forfeited her young life in de- fense of her honor were brought out dis- tinctly, pointedly and with ‘touching af- fection. Never since the death of Blanche La- mont, sald Mr. Bane, has there been a case o revolting, so sad as that which has centered all interest in the city these past few days. At no time has there come a sorrow which has elicited such universal grief, and if he, the pastor, copld speak for the bereaved family, they would be words of the greatest gratitude for the tenderness and Kindness which have come to them from the people of San Francisco. Never before had a tragedy touched the life of that church and never before had he been called upon to express sorrow such as had been occasioned by the horrible deed. Mrs. Fuller and her family had been related to that church for three years and Nora had alsq been a constant, interested and faithful member of their Sunday-school, a mem- ber of the Epworth League and since last summer a probationary member of the church. She always conducted herself as a little lady and in heart and in mind of Continued on Page Two. | manner the | continually ordering his ‘| wore a number PRINCE HENRY GAYS GERNANS MDE Writes Letter to Dewey Concerning Events at Mani a. | | Admits the American £dmiral | WasRight and Acted Best 1 n All Things.

Admiral Dewey will send a representative to New York to receive Prince Henry for him, as the serfous condition of Mrs. Dewey’s health will prevent him from being there in per- son. It is expected that Admiral Dewey will furnish the Navy Department with a copy and will make an official reply to Prince Henry.

This was injurious to the morale of the American vessels and was resented by Admiral Dewey.

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.—Rear Admiral von Baudissin, commander of the: German cht Hohenzollern, accompanied chief of staff, Lieutenant Fritz Rebensburg, and K. Buenz, the German Consul General at this city, returned to- day the official calls made yesterday afternoon. The first visit was made to Rear Admiral Barker, commandant of the navy yard. This was followed by formal calls on Major General Brooke, command- ing the Department.of the ast, and on the Mayor of New York at the City Hall. The rear admiral was in full uniform He wore a dress suit of blue, heavily em. brotdered on each cuff of his coat. He of decbrations, among them the badge of the order of the Black Eagle of Prussia, the badge of the Guel- phic Order of Hanover and the badge of the order of the Crown of Wurtemburs. Under a plain black bow he wore the in- signia of the order of the Iron Cross Lieutenant Rebensburg also wore the Iron Cross. The party left the Hohenzollern on the navy vard tug Narkeela. A de- tachment of fifty marines, under com- mand of Captain Theodore P. Kane, was lined up in front of the landing stage at | the navy yard and the band of the marine corps played “The Watch on the Rhine,” as the party disembarked there. Rear Admiral Barker received his vis. itors, assisted by Captain Joseph Coghlan and Commander West. The party im- | mediately went to the admiral's residence, where they remained for a quarter of an hour. After the usual civilities had been exchanged the German admiral and his suite were escorted back to the landing by the admiral and his aids. German Colors at the Fore, The Columbia, flying the admiral's pen- nant at the main truck and the German naval colors at the fore, fired a salute of thirteen guns from its forward battery as the guests departed.

While here the New York multi-millionaire observed condi- B tions and made inquiries that led him to realize that this city had pos: bilities. He saw the advantages of invest- ing money here and when he returned to New York he reported @is observations to his associates in various syndicates. It was at his suggestion that an amount far into the millions—in fact reaching a fabu- lous sum—was set aside for investment in San Francisce. Through local agents this vast sum will be devoted to purchasing real estate in the business section. A magnificent hotel is planned and buildings will be erected in large numbers. This will be of great benefit to all classes. Men will be given employment, merchants will dispsse of their commoditics and the eity will be greatly Denefited. Buildings that are now unsightly will be torn down and hand- some edifices will take their places. It will mean the advancement of local in- terests and will be an incentive such as the city has never before experienced. Morgan Seeks Information. When Mr. Morgan was here he con- sulted varfous people in connection with the welfare of this city and they enlight- ened him as to the increasing population and property values. At the various din- ners and banquets which he attended Mr. Morgan listened to the voseate speeches of leading officials and citizens, who dwelt with pride on the growth of San Franeisco and what was in prospect for the metropo- lis of the Pacific Coast. The millionaire imbibed ideas and statistics and when he a detachment of the island’s garrison serving as escort. In the headquarters they exchanged the formal compliments customary on occasions of this nature. . After a short chat the officers of the Hohenzollern were escorted back to the Narkeeta. A salute of thirteen guns was fired as at the navy yard. At the City Hall Consul General Buenz presented the rear admiral to the Mayor, who shook hands with him and said: “I am very glad, indeed, to welcome you to our city.” The rear admiral replied that he was pleased to be in America. After a few minutes’ conversation the visitors left for a short visit to the German Consulate, when they returned to the Hohenzollern. Afraid Prince Will Be Late. KIEL, Feb. 13.—Mayor Low of New York has cabled to Princé Henry of Prus- sia, saying that Herr Weigand, director general of the North German Line, thinks that unless the Kronprinz Wilhelm sails from Bremen earlier than 3 o'clock Satur- day afternoon she will not be able to ar- rive in New York, owing to the rough weather which prevails at this season of the year, until late in the afternoon of mander of the Department of the East,| February 2—too late for the ceremony - Hotel and a Score of Handsome Buildings ‘ to Be Erected in the Busmness | Section of the City. returned to New York he exploited his knowledge. +From information received from the East it was learned that agents of the syndicate were instructed to communlcate with people here and the plan to enrich the city with new buildings and enter- prises was given its impetus. Messrs. Bovee, Toy & Sonntag, real estate dealers, were instructed to examine certain prop- erty and send abstracts and reports with- out delay. Henry P. Sonntag, a member of the real estate firm, has had charge of the important matter. For the past two weeks he has been negotiating with property-owners and the result of his in- tervicws has been forwarded to the East- ern agen Selects Architect. Frank Van Trees, one of the foremost of this . has been selected are plans for the new buildings. Van Trees is largely occupled by huilders, and though the Eastern o local syndicate made him an offer to devote his entire time to its interests, he was unable its terms. The members of the however, inquired how many hours he could devote to their work. He replied that hé could devote six hours a day. This appeared to be satisfactory and negotiations are now pending. Pa- pers have been sent across the continent for Mr. Van Trees to sign. It may be necessary for him to make a hurried trip East to consult his new clients. Mr. Van Trees was loath to discuss the matter.. He said the entire affair was in embryo and would not be settled for a few weeks. He admitted that he had been offered the contract to prepare plans for the new buildings, but was unable to say of the municipal welcome and the pre- sentation to the Prince of the freedom of the city of New York. ‘When asked if the steamer could not leave Bremen at an earlier hour, Prince Henry replied that he was umable to change the sailing hour of the Kronprinz ‘Wilhelm; but he said she would do her best to reach New York early on Satur- day, February 22. The Kronprinz Wii- helm is not chartered by Prince Henry. He and his party go simply as passengers, and it is too late now to notify the hun- dreds of other passengers that the steam- er would sail twelve hours earlier than heretofore announced, as she would have to do, in order to catch the tide. Herr Welgzmd‘s‘ view of the case is not shared by the commander of the Kronprinz Wil- helm. The latter thinks the steamer can reach New York by midday, February 22. Reading “American Ideals.” Prince Henry spent the morning read- ing President Roosevelt's ‘‘American Ideals,” and during the afternoon he coasted on the hill at the back of the castle over a slope which has been the scene of a hundred fierce fights. Prince Henry, his adjutant, Count von Egidy, and two of the little princes were on un~ + 1 EASTERN FINANCIER WHO | WILL INVEST MILLIONS IN AN FRANCISCO. — o what style they would be or where they would be located Mr. Sonntag was also reticent. He sald he would be violating his agreement if he spoke about the matter. He admitted, however, that the interests of New York people were getting to be very heavy here. He stated that some people were in this city some months ago to look over the ground and. had returned Bast. Mr. Sonntag stated that he was Interested in the welfare of San Francisco and was glad to see the city improving. Mr. Sonn- tag said his firm represented certain peo- ple of New York, but he would not say who they were. It is known, however, that the firm of which Mr. Sonntag Is a member has been instructed, as appears in the .foregoing, and increased activity in the realty mar- ket will be the result. g painted sleighs, the boys yelling lustily as they charged down the approach. Prince Henry, pink-cheeked, lithe and athletic, appeared to be in fit condition for the hard campaign of dinners and receptions that await him on the other side of the Atlantic. The crowded programme rather dismays some of the members of the Prince’s suite, but Prince Henry looks for- ward to a genuine holiday, during which he is going to have a good time, as well as one which will give him many v uabie fresh impressions.
