The Mission OF SAN JosE.-A correspon-
dent of the Stockton Argus, writing from
the Mission of San Jose, thus speaks of what
the place was in former times:
The Mission Church, built by the Jesuits
in 1897, is the object of attraction to all who
visit the town. Its proportions and the
manner in which it is built, resemble very
much the churches erected upon other Mis-
sion grounds along the Pacific coast about
the same period. Attached to it are long
rows of adobe buildings, used in primitive
days as gIanaries and workshops, but now
nearly all tenantless and rapidly falling to
decay. The motives that induced the estab-
lishment of Missions in California were, no
doubt, in themselves commendable; but it
must have soon become evident that the race
of Indians on this coast were not particular
" susceptible to religious teaching. Under
the training and instruction of he Jesuits,
they became as industrious as the nature of
their former life would permit, and for years
were contented. They manifested then, as
they do now, an adherence of all manual
labor, and were "poor indeed, 4" in everything
corresponding to the noble qualities that are
exhibited in the nature of the Indian in ma
ny of the tribes on the Atlantic side. 1t is
reasonable to conclude, since the total aban-
donment of the Mission by the Indians, that
they were influenced to the performance of
outward religious service by the assurance of
some temporal reward from the Church as
soon as the duties were performed Many of
them labored on the Mission farm, herded
cattle and assisted in erecting the Mission
buildings and the adobe wall which once
surrounded them. The Indians who then
hovered around the Mission whether for
temporal or spiritual good is not for me to
say), have all gradually disappeared. Mel
ther myself nor companion, during our So
journ here, have been able to discover even
a representative of the race.
Of all the Missions along the coast, that of
San Jose was formerly most wealthy. In
1925, according to Forbes, the property of
the Mission was summed up as follows -
$4,000 head of cattle, $40 tame horses, 800
mares, 42O mules, $40 yoke of oxen and TO-
600 sheep, together with a tract of land
about fifteen miles square, for agricultural
and pastoral purposes. The political troubles
in Mexico, since 1924, and the heavy drafts
upon all the Missions for funds, formed the
commencement of their decline, and gradu-
ally left them without lands or stock, and
stripped their churches of most of their val
uuolc OrhhlhehIs. Inc hlsSloH ol oan Jose
is now supported by the Mexicans in the vi
cinity, who resort TO it on Sundays and other
holidays as in times past.
The present Curate is Frenchman, whom
the Mexicans dislike, and have almost unan-
imously subscribed to IA petition to the Arch
bishop for his isremoval aud the Reinstatement
of former Curate. a boyish-looking Mexi-
can with delicate moustache and fine per-
sonal appearance, and popular throughout
the parish for the good quality of his cigari-
tos and the liberality he manifested in their
distribution among his flock.

The INTELLIGENCE OFFICE CAsE-MAY Dis
CHARGED D.-Tbe case of Patrick May, of the
hrm of G. q. Clark d May, for obtaining
money under false pretences came up in the
Police Court this morning again. The al
legged offence consisted in receiving fee
from and sending two men wanting employ
ment to Jacob Hanson in Santa Clara Valley,
whereas Jacob Hanson had never left an or
der for such men and did not want them
The defendant pleaded that he had received
Information that Hanson required help, and
sent the men there in good faith. This plea
was sustained by the testimony of William
Hansoa, brother Of Jacob, who, happening
TO be in the city, was introduced as wit
ness this morning. He testified that ne had
informed Clark d May that his brother was
IN want of several men, although his brother
mad not authorized him to do SO and that
CLARK & May had sent the men, as he sup.
posed, on the strength of his information.
Judge Coon said that great deal of mis-
Shief was occasioned by this loose way of
ooing business; that great deal Of wrong
was done by Intelligence office keepers send.
ing IN men over the country on mere report.
II appeared that William Hanson had really
not gwen an order in this case but he had
salu enough to defeat the charge of obtain
lug money under false pretences. The ac-
FUSED was thereupon discharged but the
yudge caqtioned him to be more careful for
'he future. .-Bulletin, Non.
