HO PLACE FOR HOYT
Must Stay Out of Ministerial
Association.
NO UNIVERSALIS! NEED APPLY
Orthodoxy Proposes to Flock by It
self Xo Matter Hoyt Saintly &
Preacher Ik, He Mvrnt Be
Evangelical to Join.
Kev. H. H. Hoyt, pastor of tho First
Universally Church, - was not admitted
to memborship In the Portland Ministerial
Association at its meeting yesterday, and
-Jr-om all accounts lie desiree no such mem
bership. But the proposal made a month
ago to make him a member created con
siderable spirited discussion, notwith
standing previous efforts on the part or
the ministers to promote harmony by the
simple method of avoiding any contro
versy. Kev. Mr. McLean read a paper
that bore directly on the propriety of Mr.
Hoyt's admission, and the Unlversaiiet
ministers name was proposed by Rev.
Mr. Coulter. But Mr. Coulter was hlmseir
denied a voice, because he had left the
evangelical United Brethren church and
Joined the non-evangelical Unlversallst.
The Hoyt matter did not, however, reacn
a vote.
Yesterday's meeting was held on the top
lloor of the Y. Al. C A. building, and with
carpenters hammering away on the same
lloor the noise was rather pronounced.
The attendance was very full, about 50
clergymen being present, and Rev. C. JS.
Cllne presided Among those present were
a colored clergyman and a Salvation Ar
my man in unirorm. Kev. S. A. Starr con
ducted the devotional services, and "Rock
of Agee" was sung by the full house. It
drowned out the hammering.
The Mlnnten Were Silent.
After Kev. A. A. Hurd had read the min
utes of Inst month's meeting, Rev. F. m
Coulter called attention to the fact that,
although Kev. H. H. Hoyt had been pro
posed for membership a month ago, there
was no mention of the fact In the min
utes. The secretary explained that the matter
had not attained the stage where it was
entitled to go on the records, and he would
not put it on unless specially Instructed
to Interject it.
A parliamentary discussion ensued, and
the chair sustained the secretary.
Mr. Coulter proposed the name of Mr.
Hoyt lor membership, but Mr. Thompson
seemed to be the only man in favor of
'giving the matter any attention. The mo
tion received no second.
Coulter a Mere Ontliler.
It was ruled by President Cllne that Mr.
Coulter, who had recently left the United
Brethren church and Joined the Unlversal
lst, had taken himself out of the evangel
ical church, and therefore out of the Min
isterial Association, and was therefore not
competent to make a motion.
Mr. Ackerman hoped that the matter
would he postponed, as time had been
mapped out for a paper, and the ques
tion was accordingly brushed aside.
The matter of the coming course of bril
liant entertainments to be given by the
"Y. M. C. A. was presented "by Oscar Cox,
who hoped all pastors present would call
to them the attention of their young
men.
V. R. Winans, of the American Sunday
School Union, said that his organization
was willing to take up a plan, if funds
were provided, of appointing a regular
chaplain to preach Protestant doctrine to
the Inmates of the penitentiary, reform
school and Indian school. He said that
there was now nothing of the kind done
for the 700 souls at those places, except a
little volunteer work by outsiders. A
Catholic priest did some work at the In
dian school. The Salem Ministerial Asso
ciation had Indorsed the plan, Mr. "Wl
nans said. On motion of Dr. Blackburn,
the officers were authorized to indorse the
approval or the Salem Association.
Kev. J. F. Ghormley brought up the
matter of the 1905 fair, and moved that a
committee be appointed to report on it at
the next meeting. The chair appointed as
such committee Revs. Ghormley, Lathrop,
Ferguson, Ackerman and Blackburn.
Mr. McLean's Positive Vlevrs.
Rev. Robert McLean, pastor of the Third
Presbyterian Church, read a paper en
titled "The Aim of the Ministerial Asso
ciation." Among other things, Mr. He
Lean said:
"An association without a definite aim.
can give no reasonable excuse for Its ex
istence. An association without a worthy
aim would do well to end its existence.
An association that does not hold to the
purpose of Its creation will soon cease to
exist. The question has been raised wheth
er the Portland Ministerial Association
has a detlnlte purpose, and If so, what Is
that purpose? Had we a written consti
tution my task would not be difficult, but
though such a document was once In ex
istence, it has now disappeared. "We can
only appeal to the records, and to the
mission of the individual members, to de
cide -what is, or should be, the purpose of
the organization. The records show that
at different times the evangelical char
acter of the association has been strongly
emphasized, and ministers of non-evangelical
organizations have been refused
admission. The association has Indorsed
evangelistic work and efforts entirely out
of harmony with the practices of the non
evangelical bodies, thus stamping Its char
acter and mission as evangelical.
"The regenerated man Is a good citizen,
and we will have good government when
we have enough of converted men, and
no sooner. I think the Portland Minis
terial Association has made a mistake
whenever it has attempted to lead the
people in a political movement for the
control of municipal affairs. The min
istry must be a voice and a conscience
for the church, and the church must be
a, conscience for the world. "When the
onscience is active there will be little
need of the active participation of the
ministry, as an organized body, in the
'lections. Every attempt to bring the
church into political union with any par
y or faction has always resulted dlsas
'rously. That is one of the mistakes
In the warfare against the liquor evil. 1
lolleve that the greatest obstacle today
t the abolition of the liquor traffic is
f.e Prohibition party. I am convinced
that In Its dependence upon the,Prohibi
tt"n party, as a means to attain the de-r-ed
end, the church has lost Its faith
In the power of the Gospel to regenerate
tre world.
The churches that boast of 'the larg-
- hope' do not believe the Gospel which
they preach. They are not concerned
i '"out the great world living In darkness.
. 1 a recent Unlversallst convention in
J"ffalo, N. Y., It was shown that this
rlirch sustained only one mission in all
tb s sin-smitten world. That single mis
.i n was in Japan, and the annual ex-
P'!dlture for that work was only $8000.
P rhaps this is well, for wherever the
doctrine of a future probation has been
pr--ached It has been with disastrous mor
al results. The one great secret of the
W$ rhtlng Influence of the Roman church
Is her doctrine of purgatory.
' The churches that boast of the 'larger
hce have no hold on the masses. The
v- t majority of mankind arc longing for
th blessedness of forgiveness, and beau
ti . I upon the mountains are the feet of
J I i 'who brings the message of peace
th-ough the blood of the Lamb.
" Ve are the messengers of Christ, and
if we believe his words, 'He that bellev
t'h on the Son hath everlasting life, and
1" that belleveth not the Son shall not
see life,' then we can have no fellowship
with those who come with Satan's mes
sage saying: To shall not 'surely die.' "
The paper created considerable discus
sion, and Mr. McLean thought it was
very unfortunate that there should ever
be an attempt made to force anyone Into
the association about whom there would
be any question.
All Good Men Should Be Eligible.
Rev. A. W. Ackerman. of the First
Congregational Church, thought that this
body would never be doing Its whole
duty until It takes in all men who are
doing good work. Many good men there
might be whose beliefs were different,
but they sing the same hymns and pray
the same prayers.
Rev. "W. S. "Wright, of Sellwood Presby
terian Church, rcscribed how a homeo
pathic physician would be out of place
In an allopathic organization, but Mr.
Thompson reminded him that, when it
came to awarding diplomas at gradua
tion, there was no distinction made. Mr.
"Wright said that the old constitution said
"evangelical" only. If they wanted to
change the constitution, that was a dif
ferent matter.
Speaks for Toleration.
Rev. Alfred Thompson, of Trinity M.
E. Church, made a strong plea for toler
ation. We are ministers of Christ, he
said, and the term evangelical was cor
rectly defined in Great Britain In 1S45.
"According to those tenents I am not
evangelical," said the speaker, "and
there is hardly a man here who would be
admitted to the Evangelical English Al
liance." Mr. Thompson spoke for toler
ation, and said that Rev. Mr. Hoyt was
a representative man, and his congrega
tion were representative people. "Why
not take him by the hand in a spirit of
Christian toleration? The association
should take all brothers by the hand
who represented Christian churches. Mr.
Thompson had apparently been treated
unjustly by being asked to prepare a
paper in connection with this matter of
admitting Mr. Hoyt, and, after working
three weeks on it, the executive commit
tee had requested him not to read it. In
the Interest of harmony, and -Mr. Mc
Lean would be asked to rend another
paper instead. Mr. Thompson had re
luctantly consented to this, understanding
that the substitute paper. In the Interest
of harmony, would not deal with the
Hoyt question.
In explanation, Dr. Cllne said that he
had had no idea of choking off Mr.
Thompson, but that the action was taken
in the Interest of harmony. The Ore
gonlan had been pumping the weaker
sisters, and the matter was sizzling, and
the machine might explode.
Mlftht Re a. LrmKhlriK-StocIc.
Dr. Blackburn said that Mr. Hoyt had
said in the press that he did not want to
come in, and the matter might make
the association a laughing-stock. It was
a tempest In a teapot. "If the man did
not want to come in," he said, "why get
down on our knees and ask him to come?
There Is no use in Interjecting an ele
ment here that will be unhappy with us
and will make us unhappy. "We don't
need a revival of liberalism we need a
revival of religion. If we get up a
movement for civic advancement," said
Dr. Blackburn, "I am ready to take the
hand of every Catholic priest. But this
association Is a different matter."
Secretary Hurd read from the records
where a Swedenborgian minister had been
denied membership.
Rev. D. B. Gray thought that Mr. Hoyt
ought to be excluded, and quoted Scrip
ture defining what Universallsm means
now and what it used to mean.
Mr. McLean said that if these meetings
were merely for good fellowship, he
would rather go fishing.
Brother Thompson Cholced Off.
Mr. Thompson tried to read a state
ment about Mr. Hoyt, but he was pre
vented by part of those present starting
for the door and President Cline starting
up the Doxology, In which all Joined.
The noon hour had arrived, and the sud
den adjournment was very informal. The
hour-and-a-half duration of the meeting
seemed altogether too hrlef for the sub
ject. The written statement that Mr.
Thompson was not allowed to read was
to the effect that Mr. Hoyt had been a
member of the Ministerial Association at
St. Johnsburg, VL, and also one of
the board of directors of the T. M. C. A.
there. It also showed that Unlversallst
ministers are received In ministerial as
sociations in other places, therefore why
not in Portland?
"While so much fuss was being made
about Mr. Hoyt's candidacy, seven other
candidates were elected to membership
without question. They were 'Revs.
Green, Young, Luke, Barton, Phelps,
Grimm and Leas.

NO ROCKPILE FOR HOBOS
THAT'S THE REASOX "WHY THEY
FLOCK TO PORTLAXD.
If Pat to "Work, Hard "Work, They
"Woald Probably Give the City
a Wide Berthl
So many hobos have recently been flock
ing to Portland to receive free board and
lodging In the warm city Jail, to
escape the blasts and rains of Winter,
that the authorities are considering the
advisability of establishing a rockplle, so
that these able-bodied vagrants will have
a chance to work for their board. An
ordinance dealing with the subject will
probably be Introduced at tomorrow's
meeting of the City Council. It is rea
soned that, if "Weary Willies," whose one
aversion is work, knew that a rockplle
was established for their benefit in Port
land, they would give this city a wide
berth. In return, the city would be saved
the expense of paying their board.
Mayor Rowe was seen last night by an
Orcgonlan man. and the Mayor said: "1
am considering the advisability of estab
lishing a city rockplle for vagrants, but
have not had time to arrive at adeilnlte
dccfslon yet. The matter will be attended
to in a day or two."
"We certainly need a rockplle for va
grants In this city," said Chief of Police
McLauchlan, "They flock here from all
parts of the Pacific Coast. Last month
wo arrested about 200 vagrants that Is,
Idle persons, who have no 'visible means
of support. A great many of them were
sent to Jail: others were told to leave
town. We have about 30 hobos in the
Jail now. We ought to have a place where,
these men would be placed to break rocks.
If a rockplle were established. Idle va
grants would not llock to Portland in such
numbers."
in the course of their walks around
Whitechapel saloons and resorts, yester
day, Oregonian reporters found many
"Weary Willies" standing there to get out
of the rain, and they all, without excep
tion, agreed that Portland was what they
called "a good thing" for hobos. Here
Is a sample talk of one ragged, sturdy va
grant: "Never mind my name. We have
nuthin' agin the Portland police. They
pinch (arrest) us and that Is what we
want. It's no good workin in a lumber
camp in Winter it's too wet. We skip to
Portland, and get pinched fur bein' broke,
an if the Judge won't send us to jail for
a month or two, why, we git pinched
again. If that won't do, why, we git
jagged (drunk) an maybe smash a police
man. Then we git Jailed sure. That's
all right; Jail Is good fur a place to sleep
In, an' two square meals every day. Say,
mister, ar"e you one o them preachers?"
By this time the questioner was leaving.
Other hobos who were interviewed said
that the only objection they had about go
ing to Jail was the fact that incarceration
prevented their getting liquor. In the
course of the tour, not one hobo humorist
was found. They were all the same men
whose sense of self-respect was dulled,
and whose only ambitions were those of
an animal to eat, drink and sleep, with
out work. Their talk generally was foul,
and their hands and faces unclean. The
prevailing opinion was that Portland was
a "snap" for men out of work, and who
didn't want to work, so long as the Jail
is open to receive them.
It Is several years since a rockplle ex
isted for the special benefit of vagrants in
Portland. Work was also provided fcr va
grants at the City Park, grading, etc. but
tho hobo artists were gradually with
drawn, as the process was found to be
an expensive one.
But the fact remains that hobos in large
numbers are flocking to this city and that
the fear of Jail does not drive them away.
The police state that it Is from this hobo
class that hold-up men are principally re
cruited. The experience of Massachusetts
towns shows that when hobos knew they
had to face a rockplle or a woodpile, they
gave the towns possessing them a very
wldo berth. They angrily struck them olt
their visiting list.
FOR CLEAXER STREETS.
Police Commission Takes Action as
to Rockplle Waj?on.
Cleaner sidewalks and the need of a
wagon and guards to convey vagrants to
a rockplle were the principal subjects dis
cussed at a meeting last night of the
Police Commissioners.
Instructions were given to the Chief of
Police to notify all proprietors of stores
throughout the city that the practice of
sweeping dust, pieces of paper, etc., from
their stores to the sidewalks and then to
the pavements, must stop. All refuse and
sweepings must hereafter be collected In
side the stores and placed In receptacles,
which will be taken away at stated In
tervals by the sanitary department of the
city. The main Idea Is to make a deter
mined effort to educate the people to keep
sidewalks and streets clean. It Is con
sidered that, with the approach of the
Lewis and Clark Centennial, the time has
arrived to show visitors that Portland has
clean streets. The police officials will
draft circulars today, copies of which will
be handed. In a day or two, to the police
men to give to all storekeepers, acquaint
ing them with the wishes of the Police
Commissioners on the subject. Orders
will also be given to the proprietors of all
saloons, etc., that no cuspidors can be
washed on any part of the street or side
walk.
Secretary Louis Rau was Instructed to
write a letter to the Mayor and City
Council, asking that arrangements be
made to place a wagon, a driver and one
or two guards at tho disposal of the Coun
cil's street committee, so that vagrants
and other Idle persons without visible
means of support can be conveyed to and
taken away from a rockplle, which It is
proposed to establish. The Commissioners
discussed the hobo question thoroughly,
and came to the conclusion that too many
Weary Willies fly to this city as a haven
of refuge, with the hope of getting free
board and lodging at the Jail, without do
ing any work. Tha assertion was made
that If the rockplle were established and
in working order, vagrants would not
visit Portland when they knew they had
to work for their board and lodging at the
City Jail. A report was made that much
of the policemen's time is at present wast
ed escorting hobos, after serving their
sentences, out of the city.
It was also reported that nearly all the
school janitors of the city have recently
been provided with special stars, to in
vest them with authority to take care of
school property.
Estimates will be presented at the next
meeting of the Commissioners as to the
expenditures necessary for next year.
Important Montana Decision.
HELENA, Mont, Dec 2. The Supreme
Court today handed down an Important
decision in the litigation between the Bos
ton & Montana Mining Company and the
Montana Ore Purchasing Company. Some
time ago, Judge Clancy, of Butte, denied
a motion of the Boston & Montana Com
pany for an Injunction to restrain the
Montana Ore Purchasing Company from
working the Pennsylvania mine, pending
a decision on the ownership of the mine,
by the Supreme Court. The Boston &
Montana Company appealed to the Su
preme Court, and the latter today affirmed
the lower court. There Is nbw a provis
ional injunction In force, under the terms
of which the Montana Ore Purchasing
Company Is operating the Pennsylvania,
and it is not believed there will be fur
ther attempts by the Boston & Montana
Company to enjoin the rival company
until the Supreme Court hands down its
opinion in the main case.
Manager of Theater Francals.
NSW YORK, December 2. The French
Minister of Education, M. LIgues, says
the Paris correspondent of the Loudon
Times and New York Times, has appoint
ed Luclen Gultry, the well-known actor.
stage manager at the Theater Francals.
M. Gultry will no doubt succeed M. Clair
lte when the latter retires. The appoint
ment Is Intended to mollify the mem
bers of the Comcdie Francaise Company
who are angered by the abolition of the
comitc de lecture, but, says the corre
spondent, it Is unlikely to have the effect
desired.
NO MINERS UNION THERE
Coear d'Alene Properties
WlthoHt Them.
Operated
'During the troublesome tlme3 in tne
Coeur d'Alene district In Idaho two years
ago A. Burch was then, as he is now,
manager of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan
mine. At the time of the strike this mine
was employing non-union men, and the
result was especial bitterness on the part
of tho strikers towards the property of
the company.
The mill and the office were wrecked
with dynamite, and a general plan of com
plete destruction was being carried out
when the arrival of the United States
troops, requested by the Governor of the
state, prevented further rioting. Mr.
Burch is in Portland with a number of
employes of the mine. In attendance upon
the session of the Federal Court, before
which two damage cases will be tried this
week, in which the company Is defendant.
In speaking of the situation In Ward
ner and the Coeur d'Alene district gen
erally. Mr. Burch said last night at the
Hotel Portland that the particular style of
miners' unionism In vogue In the district
in 18S9 had been entirely crushed. Con
tinuing, Mr. Burch said:
"There are no union men employed In
the mines In the Coeur d'Alene district,
nor will there be so long as tho present
Influences which control the Western Fed
eration of Miners continue in power. If
union men are working in the mines their
affiliation with the union is not known.
Looking back to the riotous scenes and
the causes that led up to the strike, I
do not see how It could have been avoid
ed. It had to come, and once over the
clarifying effect that it had on the sit
uation had made it impossible for the
like to happen again.
"It will be remembered that there was
no differences over wages, In the trouble
that Immediately preceded the strike. The
men demanded that the miners unions
be recognized, and the mincowners
refused to grant the demand. At the time
our mine was paying union wages to our
non-union men. There was a bitterness
towards us on the part of the union lead
ers because of the success of our efforts
to put the mine on a non-union basis, and
I presume that was the reason they at
tempted to destroy the entire property.
There are still miners' unions in the towns
of the district, but the membership has
fallen off considerably and to a large ex
tent they are supported by contributions
from the outside."
The Bunker Hill & Sullivan mine Is "one
of the largest lead producers of the Coeur
d'Alene district. In speaking of lead min
ing and the market for the product, Mr.
Burch said: "The outlook for the lead
mining Industry is not particularly bright.
There is no unusual depression, and the
market is steady, though the prices rule
rather low. This can. be attributed large
ly to the decided increase In quotations
caused by the trouble at Wardner and the
Inactivity of the district until the strike
was over. The demand was greater than
the supply for a time, and many new
properties were opened, with the result of
ultimate overproduction that brought
about a corresponding decrease In prices.
"The ore in the Coeur d'Alene district
contains a percentage of three-fourths
lead and one-fourth silver. It is of a low
grade, and has to be treated economical
ly to be profitable. The district produces
probably 53 per cent of the lead supply of
the United States. Other Important lead
deposits are found In Missouri and South
eastern Kansas. Undoubtedly the lead re
sources of the country are but partially
developed. If the demand Increased new
properties would be opened and the old
ones enlarged so that the output would
be materially increased. Export Is im
possible, as lead Is quoted in the English
markets at a lower rate than we can pro
duce it, to say nothing of the cost of
shipping."
The employes of the mine who are at
the Hotel Portland with Manager Burch
are John L. Bayne. S. G. Flint. H. E.
Bishop. K. MacKenzie. C. W. Kroeger,
John Ahrens and A. M. Peterson.
SOUSA ON HIS VISIT TO KING
Medal He Received and Pieces nis
Band Played for Hoynl Family.
LONDON, Dec 2. Sousa brought to
London from Sandrlngham, where his
band played last night by royal command
before their majesties and the royal fam
ily, the royal Victoria medal, with which
King Edward presented the bandmaster
in appreciation of his services to music.
The Prince of Wales personally affixed
the decoration to Sousa's breast. In de
scribing the visit. Sousa said to a repre
sentative of the Associated Press:
"It was among the most gratifying ex
periences of my life. The royal command
was received several days prior to the
visit, hut was kept a strict secret, the
King desiring to give the Queen a birth
day surprise. Considerable duplicity was
necessary to complete the arrangements
without divulging our destination. We
took Alfred de Rothschild Into our con
fidence, and gave out that we were going
to play at his country seat on Sunday. It
was only wnen we eniramea mat ir.e
band was informed whither we were bent.
The King's motor car took myself and
wife from the station. We marched Into
the ballroom at 10:30. Some 20 persons
were present. Including the King and
Queen, the Princess and Prince of Wales,
the Duke of Cambridge, the Duchess of
Manchester and Lady de Grey. We first
played 'God Save the King,' and then
his majesty sent word that he wanted
'The Star-Spangled Banner.' during the
playing of which they all. Including King
Edward, stood up. The programme con
sisted of plantation songs and dances.
The Washington Post March.' 'The Stars
and Stripes, a trombone solo by Arthur
Pryor, and the Reese-Davles collection of
American hymns. Including 'Nearer, my
God, to Thee.' which seemed to deeply
affect the distinguished listeners
"The King especially requested us to play
'Hands Across the Sea, and then sent
word that he wanted 'El Capltan.' He
then requested 'King Cotton and the
'Coon Band.' At the conclusion the King
again sent word to play 'The Star-Spangled
Banner,' and again all present stood
up. The King stepped forward, shook
hands with me, chatted with me In the
most cordial manner, and asked me to
congratulate the band on Its excellent
technique. The Queen came up, thanked
me, and, turning to the King, told him
how much she had enjoyed her birthday
surprise, especially the hymn tunes, of
which she requested copies. The Prince
of Wales Joined In, referred pleasantly to
his trip, and expressed regret that he did
not have time to visit the United States.
Then the King handed me this medal,
which the Prince of Wales pinned on my
breast.
"The Queen accorded me permission to
dedicate a march to her.
"It was nearly 1 o'clock when we drove
off to the station. I have never plajed
to a more appreciative audience, nor have
I been more kindly treated. The King
looked to be In excellent health. He cer
tainly was In the best of spirits. He had
nothing but kind words for America, and
certainly knows mo- than most people
about American music"
Exonerated by Corner's Jury.
WALLACE, Idaho. Dec 2. The Coro
ner's Jury found the killing of Tom Ash
croft at Mullan last night Justifiable. Evi
dence showed that Deputy Sheriff Wil

OLD FOLKS' HOME FAIR.

Beauty and BrljjrntnesK Mayor
Rottc Opens the Programme.
The bazaar and fair for the benefit of
the Old Folks' Home was formally opened
last evening, at the Tabernacle building,
corner of Twelfth and Morrison streets.
Mayor Rowe, on being introduced by
Rev. Father Black, spoke of the great
pleasure the occasion afforded him of be
ing present at the opening of the fair,
whose proceeds were to be devoted to the
benefit of the aged, regardless of denom
ination. "Those angels of charity, the
Sisters of Mercy," Mr. Rowe said, "only
ask of the applicant, 'Are you oppressed
by poverty and age? The Old Folks
Home is not a sectarian Institution, and
all are eligible to Its benefits, regardless
of color or creed. I hope the people of
our city will give the fair the assistance
it is so well entitled to, and I know they
will do so."
The interior of the Tabernacle was gay
with well-dressed people and gorgeous
with brilliant booths, presided over by
fair women from the different Catholic
parishes of the city.
A candy and confectionery booth occu
pying the center of the hall was gaily dec
orated In varl-colored muslin, and Its
counters set off with toothsome sweets
of all kinds. Misses Lulu Dove, Laura
Brown and E. M. Du Cett played the part
of storekeepers at this booth.
At the Cathedral table, managed by Fa
ther Casey, Mrs. J. Klosterman, Mrs. H.
Dillon and Mrs. A. F. Bernard acted as
salesladies. Valuable articles of furniture,
a silver tea sea, an eider-down quilt, wom
en's fancy work In varied hues and other
useful articles were on exhibition at this
booth.
At the Cathedral library booth. Misses
M. G. Burke and C. Wolfe presided. A
wheel of fortune was in operation last
evening, in this part of the hall, and a
gypsy fortune-teller's tent Is to be added.
A refreshment table, superintended by
the Ladles' Aid Society, occupies the west
side of the hall, and n number of women
of the society were busy preparing sub
stantial edibles and luxuries for those de
siring to treat themselves that way.
St. Joseph's booth is cared for by Mrs.
W. Eder, and is well supplied with fancy
articles, glassware and provisions to be
raffled for.
The St. Patrick parish booth was In
charge of Mrs. J. D. Byrne, Mrs. J.
O'Neill. Mrs. J. J. Sherlock and Mrs. Will
iam Stanton. Fancy work, rockers and a
fine Eastern oak sideboard were among
the articles to be rallied for here.
The St. Lawrence parish booth was
cared for by Mrs. Bacon, Misses Lulu
Murphy, Lang and Jessup. A fancy air
tight heater was one of the articles to be
raffled for at this booth.
Mrs. L. O'Neill presided over a well-appointed
booth, stocked with pictures, fan
cy work and a comfortable couch for
which tickets were being sold.
At the St. Francis booth. Misses M.
Bruce. M. Dore and M. Brown 'had a
large variety of pictures, dolls and fancy
work on exhibition. A lady's writing desk
and a fine bicycle are among the articles
to be given away. A large picture of
Father B'nck occupied a conspicuous
place In this booth and was the subject
of many approving remarks.
Miss Mary Gleason has a well-stocked
dolls' millinery booth on the north side of
the hall.
Cigars and flowers had a booth all to
themselves. This department was con
ducted by Mrs. J. Koehler, Mrs. A. Bir-'
mingham. Mrs. J P. O'Brien. Misses Lulu
Powers. JL Wiley, Delia Zimmerman and
E. McDermott.
The Old Folks Home, in whose Interest
the fair is being carried on, was formerly
the Methodist hospital, on the East Side.
The Sisters of Mercy bought the property
last Summer, and there are now 65 old
persons finding refuge in the commodious
brick building. There are five acres of
land connected with the Institution, and
the Home Is, therefore, an Ideal place for
such a charitable purpose. As Mayor
Rowe said last evening, the Home Is open
to all, regardless of creed, and is. there
fore, not a sectarian institution.

poned Two "Weeks.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec.-2. The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals convened
this morning with Judges Morrow and
Dehaven on the bench. Judge Noyes, Dis
trict Attorney Wood and C. S. A. Frost
were on hand,.together with the Interested
people in the Nome contempt proceedings.
There was an idea that a decision might
be rendered today.
Attorney Heney, on behalf of Judge
Noyes and Mr. Frost, secured permission
to file an affidavit of Charles Blake re
garding the discovery of the mining
claims near Nome In 189S. It is to the
effect that Blake, who was sent north by
Captain Nelson and Messrs. Tyson, of this
city, went in search of supplies after a
boat carrying the party was wrecked.
Blake says that he was the original dis
coverer, but that In his absence the men
known as the "Swedes" went over and
located the claims on the various creeks.
After presenting the affidavit, Mr. Heney

ITGH IS TORTURE,
Eczema is caused by an acid humor in
the blood coming in contact with the
skin and producing great redness and in
flammation ; little pustular eruptions form
and discharge a thin, sticky fluid, which
dries and scales off ; sometimes the skin h
hard, dry and fissured. Eczema in any
form is a tormenting, stubborn disease,
and the itching and burning at times arc
almost unbearable; the acid burning
humor seems to ooze out and set the skin
on fire. Salves, washes nor other 'exter
nal applications do any real good, for as
long as the poison remains in the blood
it will keep the skin irritated.
SAD FORM OF TETTER.
"For three years I
had Tetter on my
hands, which caused
them to swell to twice
their natural size. Fart
of the time the disease
was in the form of run

ful, and causing me
much discomfort.Fonr
doctors said the Tetter
had progressed too far
to be cured, and they
could do nothing for
me. I took only three
bottles of S.' S. S. and
was completely cured.
This was fifteen years
asro. and I have never
since seen nuysign of my old trouble." Mrs.
