He was given a tremendous ovation, and when the applause subsided he said In | part: “While 1 was sitting in my window overlooking the beautiful bay of San Francisco, an inspiration seized me, and 1 wrote the first verse I was ever guilty of. (Applause.) I do not call it poetry, but merely a few lines put together under the impuise of the moment. If you will pardon me I will read them.” (Cries, “Read_ them!’) The Mayor then read the following lines amid great applause: When Freedom from the skies abéve Looked down—for lands of liberty and love, She scanned the universe—with kindly smile, Fixed one standard on the Emerald Iele. She planted there the love of truth; The spirit and the fire of youth; And for & motto to her sons she gave: “Be ever freemen and not slave.”” The stars and stripes with splendid glory Emblazoning our nation’s wondrous story, wrap our hearts with firmest hold, Yet leave some place for Green and Gold, Resuming, the Mayor said: “‘In the upbuilding of S8an Francisco the Irishman has played a conspicuous part. The very spot on which we are seated was the property of Timothy Murphy, an Irishman who landed here in 1A26. = San Francisco &s now a city of 360,000 people, but I expect that in the next twenty years it will be doubled.

The Mayor closed with the - statement that he loved Ban Francisco as his birth- place and all he held dear In this life was located here. His closing remarks were greeted with great applause, and when it subsided Neal Power responded to the toast of “Irish Orators and Oratory.” He | spoke eloquently of the great legacles of { unsullifed virtue and noble accomplish- | ments which orators of Ireland have left | to the descendants.

He paid a tribute to local Irishmen who were banded together in socleties for the ad- vancement of the Itish cause in America— that of alding the oppressed against the grinding exactions of oppressors the world over.

Father Caraher Speaks of tha Fruits of St. Patrick’s Labors. So eager were the parishioners of St. Francis Church to hear the eloquent ser- mon of their pastor, Rev. Terence Cara- her, on St. Patrick, that every aisle was crowded ‘to its utmost capacity in that church last night and the main aisle was filled with seats, which afforded only a scant means of ingress and egress to the pews. The overflow was accommodated in the spacious galleries. A particular interest attached to the sermon. of Father Caraher. for during his recent tour of Europe he visited many of the places in Ireland made sacred by St. Patrick’'s works, and Father Caraher's personal reminiscences of the scenes gave the gsermon the charm of a narrative, in which history was pleasantly blended with the religlous idea of Bt. Patrick's Caristian conquest of pagan Ireland. Solemn vespers opened the services and an augmented choir, consisting of the young ladies of the parish, rendered the music. At the conclusion of the vesper service Father Caraher ascended the pul- pit and announced his text, which was from Bt. John: “I have chosen you an nlpu'lle, 80 ye therefore and teach gll na- tions.” " e sald in part: ST.

GAINS HIS FREEDOM. “‘After six years Patrick returned to his home and country. He studied night and day and had several visions in which he saw his life work before him, and the Irish people imploring him to come back to them.

Johnson was | authorized to make such repairs as were | imperative at the pavilion, owing to the | damage caused by the late storm. Com- | munications were received in thé matter of furnishing to the State Board of Agri- | culture free of cost suitable sites for ex- hibition and fair grounds outside of Sac- ramento, with all necessary buildings. | A delegation of the Eighth Ward Im- | provement Club, composed of Robert Mar- | tyr, T. H. Berkey, R. Irvine and O. P. Dodge, appeared and made suggestions-as | to what the Eighth Ward Club would dol‘ in conjunction with the board to retain the State Fair in Sacramento. 1 Henry Berrar of San Jose was selected | the next fair. The directors, realizing the | great possibilities for profis in California | in proaucing the poultry and eggs that are required for home consumption, propose making this department and the dairy in- dustry leading features at the next fair.

It was learned after the meeting that the visit of the Eighth Ward Club dele- gation was to induce the board to dispose of the present Agricultural Park for city Kl‘llm.:kl and to take land within the city limits in another locality. Although no offers for sites in outside communities were formally made, several were sug- | gested through directors. Oakland and San Jose are the towns | most desirous of securing the location of the State Fair, and either city is willing to make needful concessions.

Thus it was that Ireland was wedded to the Holy See, and has remained as strong and im- | movable as the Rock of Peter. No stanch- | | er defender has the Catholic church than | Ireland, for in the troublous times of Plus | IX, when Garibaldi threatened the Pope, it ‘was her brave warriors that stemmed the tide, °As you be children of Christ,’ said St. Patrick, 'so you be also children of | Rome.” | “When St. Patrick returned to Ireland he found that natlon ready for the har- vest, and a most promising field for his labors. Soon after he landed he ascended | the hill of Tara, the very center of the Irish idolators. Then he met the kings of Ireland, their princes and princesses, | the Druid priests and bards, celebrating | their Baster fetes. He announced his name and his mission to the kings, ‘dis- puted their tenets with the Druid priests and confounded them. ““They forsook their pagan gods; their pagan altars crashed and crumbled throughout the land. After leaving Tara his progress was one vast triumphal march. Kings knelt down and embraced Christianity, their followers, their priests, all alike were eager to embrace the new faith. Churches and universities sprung up on every side, and hills and valleys resounded with hymns of praise to God. St. Patrick found Ireland thoroughly pa- gan, and at his death left it thoroughly Christian. *“The mz‘rvelous results of his labors are a conclusive proof that the Irish race was an advanced race. The more bar- barous and ignorant a people are the harder it is for them to understand re- | lglon. The idolatry of the pagan Irish | was refined. Christianity appealed to their culture and intellect. They em- | braced it willingly, and despite all ef- forts to erush out Catholicity among them, notwithstanding all the persecutions they have suffered, and all the outrages that Protestant England has foreced upon them, they are still as steadfast to the | true faith as the day St. Watrick brought {)2? new life and new religion into their ng.” Solemn benediction of the blessed sac- rament followed, angd at its close the en- tire congregation united in singing a hymn to St. Patrick.

PIERCE’S REMEDIES. “She Let Concealment Like a Worm i’ the Bud . Feed on Her Damask Cheek.” How aptly Shakespeare touches the luminnntpghord in a woman’s nature. She suffers in silence; draws a curtain over her private sorrows, and endm-es until endurance ceases to be a_virtue. This is especially the case with the modest minded women who suffer from diseases peculiar to the sex. They are miserable and unhappy, and yet, although th? know that they need medical aid and assistance, they choose rather to bear the ills they kuow than to submit to the enmuut?on of some local phy- as judge of the poultry department for | | i sician. For this reason many a woman She con- ceals her condition and endures a daily martyrdom of pain because her mind revolts at the thought of submission to the treatment she knows the local prac- titioner will insist upon. Very many women have written grate. ful letters to Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., because they have found in his methods an escape from the offensive questions, the obnoxious examinations. nd the disagreeable local treatments insisted on by so many home physicians. ‘These things are, as a rule, not nec: Dr. Pierce’s experience and success in treating hundreds of thousands of women, enables him at once to determine from the written statements of women the form of disease which it is necessary to treat.

Schnetyer, of Pontiac, Living- ston Co., Ill. “Have taken six bottles of each kind, I was taken sick last February and the doctors here called it ‘Grip.” I lay for four weeks in beg, then when I got up I found I had *Dis- acement.” Had such aches and pains n my back and limbs could not stand any length of time. I knew that our home doctor would insist the first thing on an examination, and that I wodld ot submit to, unless I was dangerously sick, and then it would be too late to doany good. My son had your book, Common Sense Medical Adviser, and I from reading it that Dr. Plerce’s cine would Dr. Pierce’s medicines, and if she would do likewise she would feel ten years younger, too.” However wonderful it may seem, that Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription is uniformly successful in curing di chnlnr' to women, it is not so wonder- as it appears. It is nmot wonderful to us, that a machine made to perform a certain task ac lishes it perfectly, We not wonder at the engine which rnl]s the train of cars, although we know nothing of mechanics. We know the engine was made to do this thing. We do not wonder at a musical artist like Pade- rewski who sits at the in- strument and luces erfect harmony. We now that constant prace tice enables his perfect command of the key- board. Let an inexperi- enced player sit down to the piano, and the same keys falsely touched jar into discos It is so with Dr. Pierce in his Tie ence and practice of medi- cine. “Favorite Prescrip- tion” only does what it was made to do. Doctor Pierce knows the whole gamut of the female or« ganism. Where a less experienced practitioner produces a ord, his experience and skill en- ables the production of erfect harmony. The ifference between the success of Dr. Pierce and the ordinary itioner in the treatment and cure of womanl ailments is the difference between skill, and success on the one hand and a casual experience on the other.

I can tmuly say that after taking four bottles of ‘Favorite Prescription’ and two of ‘Golden Med- ical Discovery’ I did not suffer any more. 1 gained ten poundsin weight. In June I commenced using the medicine in July helped to harvest the wheat, 0 you may know that I did not feel very bad.” Doctor Pierce’s Favorite Prescription establishes regularity, dries disagreeable drains, heals inflammation and ulcera- tion and cures female weakness.

TACOMA, March 16.—Unless the pres- ent situation changes speedily a rate war will be the feature of traffic during the coming season on the Lower and Upper Yukon River. Last year's agreement be- tween the large trading companies operat- ing under the name of the Northern Com- mercial Company is apparently no longer effective. L. C. Branson, who arrived to-day from Dawson, says that on his return to Daw- son from San Francisco Manager Mizner of the Alaska Commercial Company an- nounced that that company had with- drawn from all combinations and would carry on an entirely independent busi- ness. This is taken to mean that the Alaska Commercial, Alaska Exploration, North American Transportation and Trad- ing and other companies owning Lower Yukon fleets will operate independently of each other, making such rates.as they sce fit. Mining men are pleased at the pros- pect, belleving that a rate war and lower pricés for both transportation and sup- plies will permit a quicker development of such less rich camps as Forty Mile, Rampart, Eagle and Koyukuk, Prospects are good for a similar rate war to Dawson via Skagway. The Alaska steamship lines and the White Pass Rail- road having failed to agee upon through rates or division of traffic between tnem, each line is now operating for itself. Rates continue fairly high because business is almost at & maximum. The White Pass Railroad would undoubtedly like absojute- | ly to control navigation on the Upper Yukon. Lake and.Klondike Navigation Company. This company a great advantage in owning light-draught steamers, which it Tates when heavier draught boats of the White Pass line are laid up. The Ben- nett Lake line is preparing to fight by as- sembling materials at Lake Lebarge for WO new steamers. NoAttempt Made to Arrest Fugitives QUEBEC, March 16.—Colonel John F.
