The rector did not de- | liver a formal farewell sermon, as had been publicly announced, saying that | such an address was unnecessary from one who had served and been served for so long a period. The church was crowded at each service and after- ward the rector met the individual | members of the congregation and bade | them a farewell. The Rev. Mr. Swan came to St Mark’s elght years ago, when it was a | small, struggling church. By the hard- | est work and constant vigilance he was | enabled to add many members to the congregation until now there are some | 520 communicants alone, not to speak | of the 1000 or more who are not regu- f ¥ Rev. | | territory being within the diocese of | | been appcinted to a position in the In- | ¥ larly active in the church’'s work. but £till are accounted members.

The ill-health of himself and his wife | forced the Rev. Mr. Swan to resign from St. Mark’s a month ago, after ac- cepting an offer to go as a missionary among the people of Modoc County. the | Bishop Moreland. Mrs. Swan has also dian school at Fort Bidwell, where she | and her husband will have their head- quarters and later she will receive the Government position of field matron to the Indian women of Modoc County. This work will carry the missionary and his wife about the widely separated towns of that wild and isolated coun- try, the principal settiements being at Alturas, the county seat, and four places in Surprise Valley.

The men were denounced by the pastor, the Rev. Father Sutkeiteis, as anarchists, | and he boldly declared that they were | implicated in the piot to assassinate | President McKinley. | The occasion of the trouble was a | meeting to arrange for work in paro- chial schools of the church. The use- fulness of the sisters in this work had just been praised by one of the | speakers, when a men in the audience arose and sald: “We will not have the sisters. They are not good women, and | being such should not have control of our children. Immediately there was confusion. The speaker was joined by two others and | standing in the pew they defied the ! men of the meeting to attack them. | A rush was being made for the three | men when the priest told his congre- | gation to let them depart in peace. | The priest later said the disturbance was not raised because of the sisters, | but because the anarchists had de- | clared his life forfeited. The reason for this, he is unable to explain. He said a band of anarchists exists in this city and holds regular meetings. He said he learned this from Law- rence Pious, a college chum of his in Russia, who drew the lot which made him the choice of the ‘“reds” to mur- der President McKinley. Pious refused | to carry out the plot and fled to Michi- | gan, where he died. Father Sutkeiteis told the police that he was convinced the anarchists were preparing to take his life and to-night his residence is being strongly guarded by officers. B . bt i ety TONS OF DEAD TISH PILED IN A CHANNEL TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 10.—For three days thousands of tons of her- ring have come in from the sea and almost clogged the narrow channel’ which connects Nanaimo with Depart- ure Bay, Vancouver Island. The fish died when the tide went out, and the bottom of the channel is covered with dead fish for two miles. In some places they are two and a half feet thick and nowhere less than a foot. Mariners believe that a school of whales entering Departure Bay sev- tral days ago may have frightened the great school of herring up the chan- nel. Last year when the Hamilton Powder Company’s works at Depart- ure Bay were blown up the same spectacle was presented, but on a smaller scale. It was then thought that the herring had been killed by concussion, but now some new theory must be advanced. Apparently the fish were so tightly packed in the nar- row channel that they suffocated and “died before reaching deep water. —_———— Hanna Arrives in Columbus.

The station burglar made his appear- ance last night at San Pablo, where he broke into the station of the Santa Fe | Railroad at that place and took ev- erything he could gather up. The work was evidently that of a novice, for the window was broken and | a very rough search of the interior of the place was made. An effort was; made to break into the office safe, | which contained money and tickets, but without success. The burglar then | turned his attention to the baggage that had been stored in the station over | night and he broke open several trunks | and took valuables therefrom. There have been many station robbe- ries in this neighborhood of late and the indications are that some one man is making a round of all railroad prop- erty and taking what valuables he can find. Only a few nights ago the South- ern Pacific Company's station at the West End, Alameda, was looted and' some money and tickets taken. A short time prior to this burglary the station at Mount Eden on the narrow gauge road in this county was rified, and just before that the station at Fruitvale. Just outside Oakland, was entered and looted. ———— | STANDARD OIL COMPANY | TO BUILD ACID PLANT | —— ! POINT RICHMOND, Dec. 10.—| George B.

The Duke, | who is president of the Liberal Unionist | Association, formed at the time the Liberal party split on the home rule question, wrote to Chamberlain sug- gesting that the association should be dissolved, owing to the difficulty of lo- cation of the funds, now that the party had become divided by the fiscal con-| troversy. Chamberlain, in a long rejoinder, said he thought it best to “let sleeping | dogs Ne,” but that if the Duke @of Devonshire wanted to make a fiscal | test question he had “best take a vote of the members of the assoclation and let the defeated party retire.” The Duke replied, objecting to such a violent disruption of the assocfation, | and asking for a friendly discussion of the arrangements for dissolution. H Chamberlain closed the corr dence by announcing that, as the Duke will not accept his views, he was determined to call a meeting on his own responsibility and the course to be pursued would be decided at this meeting. The correspondence be- tween the Duke of Devonshire and Chamberlain is considered as complet- ing the disruption of the Unionist party. —_———————— FOLSOM WARDEN MAKES H CHANGES IN OFFICERS rds Resign, Others Are Dismissed and Price of Crushed Rock Is Raised.

The officer gave the half-famished child some food and then took her to the Central Emergency Hospital. Nora's plight is a sad one and, with tears in her eyes and a trembiing voice, | she related to the matron of the hos pital her story. She stated that she had resided with her mother and brother at 117 Oak street up to two weeks ago. According to her story, the mother and one of her brothers, a cripple, beat and maltreated her at every opportunity, till she finally decided to seek shelter elsewhere. She worked for a time in the La Grande Laundry, but fear.ng, she said. that her mother might molest her, left there a few days ago and took up her abode in a deserted shack al,t the corner el y street and Central avenue.

Meeting Casey she con- fided in him and he took charge of her. She said that she was fearful of being arrested, but added that she did not ! wish to return to her home again Nora is a bright, nice-appearing child, apparently mild mannered and good tempered. She confessed to hav- ing run away from home on several other occasions, being driven to des- peration, she said, by her mother and brother.

ROME, Jan. 10,—Vatican authorities are greatly displeased because of the Spanish demonstrations against Mon- signor Nozaleda, former Archbishop of Valencia. It is said at the Vatican that the appointment was intended to grati- fy the Spanish people, the Areh- bishop was one of Spain's own prelates who was struck most severely by the Spanish-American war, and who through that war lost the prominent position which he held in the Philip- pines. The Vatican now finds that the appointment has caused general dis- satistaction and while some persons look upon it as displeasing to Ameri- cans it has undoubtedly failed to please the Spaniards. —_———————— ATTEMPTS TO MURDER NEWSPAPER WOMAN Unknown Man Fires Two Shots at Mrs. R.
