The barkentine City of Papeete, from Bering Sea and having aboard one of the biggest catches of codfish ever taken, caught fire yesterday morning, and came near burning to the water line. Early in the morning fire was discov- ered in the forehold of the Papeete, and very soon blue lights of distress were sent | up, and one of Crowley's /launches went out to see what was the matter. It re»“ ported that there was a fire in the hold | of the vessel. The Governor Markham, went out to her, holes were cut in her| deck and her hold was flooded. On Friday last all the fishermen left the barkentine, and at that time every- thing was- in good shape. When the fire broke out there were only four men and the captain on board. The fire was event- ually mastered, and yesterday afternoon the barkentine was towed up to Hunters Point after having been partially pump- ed out. She will go on the drydock. The catch of 227,00 codfish 18 uninjured, and will be taken out of the vessel as soon as possible. The damage is esti- mated at §5000. - Marion Goes Into Commission. The Naval Militla training ship Marion went on board to undergo their annual paval drill of ten days' duration. Yesterday morning the Marion became prac- tically a man-of-war and the men on board will be under the same regime as those In ce on a battieship.

The sanctuary was handsomely decarated for the occasion and large congregations at- tended the morning and evening ser- vices. Rev. Willlam Roberts, a minister of New Jersey, landed in the town of Yerba Buena, new San Francisco, on April 24, 187. On the day following Rev. Mr, Roberts preached the first Methodist sermon heard 1in Califor- nia, in the dining-room of the town hotel, facing on Portsmouth Square. This was_ the beginning, which resulted | in the organization cf a Methodist church in this city, and it was this very inter- esting event which the members of the church in quesiion have commemorated. The interior of the church was beau- tified by rich floral ornamentation and a profusion of hothouse plants, ferns and E2 CHL\JRCH IN Fifty-fifth Anniversary Is Appropriately Observed by Members of Oldest Protestant Organization on the Pacific Coast With Very Impressive Services in the Sanctuary on Powell Street e o+ FOUNDING OF THE FIRST METHODIST THIS CITY CELEBRATED Marion will go out on her mext Tuesday for torpedo practice, Sixty of the Naval Militla from Santa Cruz came aboard the Marion yesterday morning and the full complement of the ship will probably be more than 200 men.

The decorations weie placed with exquisite taste by a com- mittee headed by Clarkson Dye. The in- terior was most attractive and it was vested with more than usual interest by the addition of portraits of four of the ministers who were identified with_the church in its early days. These were Rev. William Roberts, Rev. Asa_ White, Rev. M. C. Bridgés and Bishop Willlam Tay- lor. In the rear of the church was a painting representing the church in 1849. The Services yesterday morning were conducted by Rey. Eli McClish, D.D., president of the University of the Pa- cific. He alluded to the early history of tke church, of the struggles of the pio- neers of Methodism in a new fleld, a con- test against forceful conditions which has resulted in placing the church upon a firm foundation on the Pacific Coast, Sound lessons were drawn from the experiences which the history of the First Church so abundantiy furnishes. 7 The special music by the’ choir was most impressive.

BAIL Cabaniss Makes One Or- der and Conlam Another, Grace Williams Is Released for Less Than Kleps \ Says She Stole, Grace Williams, 18 years of age, was arrested at an early hour yesterday merning ‘at the Clifford House, Mason and Eliis street, by Policeman Alexan- der and booked at the City Prison on charges of grand larceny and vagrancy, She is accused of stealing a purse con- talning $200 from D. E. Kleps, a merchant of Washington, D. C., who met her in the Oberon. Her release on small bail may fcrm the subject of investigation. Judge Cabaniss, while a¢ the Hail of Justice yesterday morning, was asked by Attorney Caldwell to fix bail for her re- lease. He made it $250 cash on the grand larceny charge and $25 on the vagrancy charge. After the Judge had left the hail Attorney Quinlan informed the assistant. bond and warrant clerk that Judge Con- lan had fixed the bafl at §100 cash on the grand larceny charge and $25 on the va- grancy charge. Quinlan put up $125 and | the garl was r ed. On the order for | ber release was written “By order of Conlan, J.” She was set at liberty for §75 less than the amount she is charged with having stolen. The girl said she was a telephone op- erater in Sacramento till a few months ago, when she accepted a position to look after the children of the proprietor of the fallac House, Lake Tahoe. She came to | tLis city three weeks ago and soon fell into evil ways. She denies having taken the purse. Kleps claimed that he drop- ped 1t and she picked it up and refused to return it to him. He said he did not care | s much for the $200, but he wanted the purse badly,’ as it was covered with pearls and was a present from his wife. WORDS AND PHRASES LAUNCHED BY CHANCE| Every Day Ex- pressions. “Hurrah!” It used to be “Hurray!” and ! the cry is as old as England. It is the | battle cry of the old Norse vikings as they swept down to butn and murder among the peaceful British. “Turaie!” was their war cry, which means “Thor | #id!"—an appeal for help to Thor, the god “it’s all humbug!” Perhaps it is. Hum- | humbug, meaning bogus money. King James II coined worthless money from his mint at Dublin, his 20-shilling piece being worth 2 pence. The people called it “uim bosg.” It was a Roman gentleman 2000 years ed ‘“‘where the shoe pinches.” He had jvst divorced his wife, and his friends wanted to know what was clared she was good and pretty. i aid the husband, taking off his shoes, “Isn’t that a nice shoe? it's a good shoe, And_vnune of you can tell where it pinches me. “Before you can say Jack Robinson" | arose from the behavior of one John Rob- | inson. He was a focl. He was in such a hurry when he called on his friends that he had well knocked at the door. | “There they go, helter-skelter!” That phrase was coined at the defeat of the ! Spanish Armada. The great fleet of the | Spanish invasion was driven by storm | and stress of the English attack north | to the Helder River and south to the ! Skelder River—the Scheldt. | . Dou_ 1 a hare is called | ‘puss”? This is not a riddle, but just an | example of how words get twisted. The ancient Latin word for a_hare was ‘le- pu The Norman kmights who came over with Willlam the Conqueror pro- nounced the word “le puss.” And puss he emains to-day, “Go to Halifax!” you know why That town was a lace of special terror for rogues, be- | cause of the first rude guillotine invented | there by Mannaye for chopping off felons® reads. Halifax law was that the criminal ‘should be condemned first, and inquired | on after.” Coventry had a queer law in | old times by which none but freemen of | y could practice a trade there, | Strangers were starved out. Hence the phrase for, shutting a man out of human company—‘‘gent to Coventry.” “Spick and span” comes from- the ‘“spikes” and hooks and stretchers for hing.clo new{ tro(li'nbthe loom. man for debt comes fr the memory of Joe Dun, bafliff of L?r‘l’: coln, who was o keen a collector that his chlng‘ cloth “News"” is a queer word—the porth, east, west, south, whlchh;';:::l:rgé on the earliest journals. as a sign that Information was to be had here from the four ngarters of the globe.

It is now accepted that vaccination ren- ders the vaccirated person exempt from smallpox; or, at worst, he never has any- thing but the lightest kind of a case. Now as sure a preventive and cure for dandruff, which causes falling hair and baldness, has been discovered—Newbro’s Herpicide. It kills the dandruff germ. C. H.
