D. Brown spoke on “Our Coun- try and Our Boys,” and eloguently and touchingly referred to the long while ago when the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation met In its first “little, old rooms.” She made comparison of that period and home of the association with that great buliding in which they now meet to ob- serve the grand jubilee.

Macurder led and Miss Mabel McCoy accompanied the sacred songs. in which all present joined. A SOCIAL GATHERING. The evening was devoted to a reception to members and young men in general, in the auditorium. Rolla V. Watt presid- ed and many gentlemen assoclated with the work were present on the platform. It was in every sense a soclable evening, The music provided by Robson’s orchestra kept everyone in happy humor, Miss Es- ther Macomber delighted the assemblage with clever readings and stories, admir- ably delivered and the Knickerbocker | Quartet sang and was encored again and ; | again | Dr. R. W. Smith, who was seriously in- jured in the recent North Shore Rail- way wreck, with his left arm still dis- abled, joined the quartet and recelved a rousing reception. President Watt spoke of the importance of the jubilee and the advantages of be- ing out of debt. Edward Coleman, chair- man of the Board of trustees and vice | president of the association, reviewed the many good things accomplished. He be- lleved it was one of the best schools for preparing young men for their future careers, because the assoclation, he said. wae founded on sound principles. He said that it takes preparation for all duties in life and the Young Men's Christian As- sociation assumed the fit:ing of youth for the years before them., Mr. Coleman could see no end to the good to be achieved. PRAISE FOR ASSOCIATION. 1. J. Truman in a humorous speech said that although treasurer of the association he never saw the cash. but all he did was to sign checks. He pald a high tribute 1o Henry J. McCoy, for his energy in the cause of the assoclation, and expressed his delight at being able to participate in the jubilee. . Charles A. Maydwell, secretary to the board of directors, A. S. Jchnson, Thomas G. Crothers and Captain J. G. Lavensalier, directors, and the Rev. Dr. W. C. Pond, who joined the association 50 years ago, spoke in eulogistic terms of the associa- Laving a ! l | the New Jersey statutes relating to solv- | ent corporations he had jurisdiction. The contention also is made that in the ex- ercise of general equity jurisdiction un- the rules of the Federal court he was without jurisdiction, snd a third con- tention is a general denlal of the court’s | right to make an order of insolvency. | In the bill of appeals filed in Trenton | occurs this statement: “ i der Pleadings and proof showed that the ap- pointment of a receiver caused the principal of the mortgages, amounting to $20,000,000, on the property of the company to become imme- dlately due, and that under such appolntment and default the holders of these mortgages | would be entitled to immediate possession of | the mortgaged property, or, substantially, all | assets of the company Meanwhile applications in ancillary pro- ceedings have been pushed in Connecti- cut, where the Eastern shipbullding plant is situated; In Delaware, where the Har- lan & Hollingsworth plant at Wilmington is situated, and another effort is to be made at Portland, Me., with a view of obtaining complete control of the Bath Iron Works and the Bath Ship Windlass Company. Similar action is to be taken in the Federal courts of California, so as to comprehend the Union Iron Works in 8an Francisco. Heretofore these petitions for ancil- lary receivers have asked that the juris- | diction of General Receiver Smith be ex- | tended over the subsidiary companles. | Whether a similar petition will be filed in California or whether the petition will ask for a separate recelver cannot be definitely stated at this time. It is as- sumed, however, that the proceedings will be similar to the Delaware, Connecticut and Maine cases. Still another phase of the struggle is recalled by a statement made to-day by William Nelson Cromwell of counsel for the Sheldon reorganization committee. He avers that more than a majority of out- standing first mortgage bonds has been actually deposited with this reorganiza- tion committee and asserts that this in- sures the success of the Sheldon plan, ir- respective of pledges of further deposits. The time for depositing the securities with this committee has been extended for the third time and now expires on July 27. L e e e o e i T ) tion and its kindly and educational pur- poses. Mr. McCoy, referring to a modest re- mark made by Edward Coleman and Thomas Crothers, as to their connection with the association, said both gentlemer. had given largely toward the lifting of the debt, Mr. Coleman having put his name down for $12,000. This afternoon there is to be a rally of boys in the auditorium, when the Rev. F. 8. Ford, pastor of the First Christlan Church, will deliver an important address. A. Claude Braden, secretary of the bays’ department, will preside. At 8 o'clock this evening there is t> be a grand union mass mceting, followed by a public reception In the parlors of the association. The Rev. John Hemphiil, . D., and other speakers are to address the meeting and Robson’e orchestra will play operatic and popular seléctions, To- morrow evening at 6:30 o'clock the jubi- lee day banquet will be given at the Cali- fornia Hotel, and Sunday afternoon wii} be devoted to another mass meeting in the auditorium. It will be in the interests of the extension of the association's work among young men in non-christian lands. The Hawallan Male Chorus will sing. Then followed the vesting of the stole and the donning of the sacerdotal vest- ment called the chasuble, which on this | occaslon was of white siik richly embrol- ! dered in gold. Then came the chanting of the *“Veni, Creator, Spiritus,” during which the hands of the candidate were annointed with ofl and power was given to him by the presentation of the chalice | to offer up the holy sacrifice of the mass. Being now consecrated, he proceeded to | read the mass In unison with the Arch- | bishop, which proceeded in the ordinary | way until after the communion, when the | chasuble, hitherto folded on his back, was | extended. At the same time power was given to the new priest to forgive sins by the pronouncing of the following words: | Recefve ye the Holy Spirit. Whose sins you shall forgive they are forgiven, and whose sins you shall retain they are retained. The young priest, with his hands be-| tween those of the Archbishop, then promised reverence and obedience to his | ecclesiastical superfors. | The cermony closed with the regulation instructions to the new priest and the episcopal benediction, after which the clergy retired from the sanctuary, leav- ing the new priest to greet and bless his relatives and a large number of friends, who remained in the church for that pur- pose. Father Sullivan will say solemn high mass next Sunday morning at 11 o’clock at St. Patrick's Church. Father Sullivan was educated in the College of the Sacred Heart and later at St. Mary's College, and the past five years | he has spent at the College of Lille, France. He is well known in this city, was popular with his fellow students and has a host of friends and relatives. He is a son of Mrs. Marcella Sulllvan, 1010 Howard street, and a native of San Fran- | cisco. Theé minor orders of the church and those of sub-deacon and deacon were con- | ferred on Father Sullivan in France, but Archbishop Riordan, as a speclal mark of his esteem, decided to have the order of priesthood conferred on the young can- didate in his native city in the presence of his mother and other members of his family. —_————— The smart set at Santa Barbara.
