The Confirmation.


The rite of confirmation was admin
istered at the church last Sunday by
Bishop Mora. The ceremonies COM
menced at 3 p. M. and lasted until
nearly o'clock, and throughout were
most interesting and impressive. The
Bishop first delivered q short address
in Spanish and then followed with
some remarks in English, explaining
the nature, the history and the neces-
sity of the sacrament, by the laying
on of hands, as it was performed in
the time of the Apostles. A class of
68 girls and misses received the rite.
All were dressed in white, with fiow-
ing wells and wreaths of orange blos-
SONS. Standing along the broad, long
aisle of the church, they formed one Of
the most beautiful spectacles we have
ever witnessed. A class of boys of
about the same number afterward re-
ceived the rite and were gathered into
the folds of the church. The singing
during the service was grand and ap-
propriate to the other beauties of the
occasion, the choir being assisted by
Miss Reiffarth, Signor Nora and Sig
nora Franzini.

Progressive Christianity.

Rev. H. d. Lathrop of San Fran
cisco delivered sermon In the Epis-
copal Church in this city on Sabbath
evening last on the text, Let me die
the death Of the Righteous The in
PRODUCTION was full of that liberal
Catholic spirit, which demolished all
sectarian bigotry, and established a
theological platform so broad, that all
the good Of earth could stand upon it.
The God who inspired the heather
prophet to utter the language of the
text, and proclaim great truths to the
world, would not cOn6ne his gifts and
blessings to any nation or association
of men-nOne had right to say 1--WE
are the chosen people of God, to ex-
clusiou of others. This text is a true
expression of the desire of every
heart; but the desire or wish must be
accompanied by the will. Men often
wish for things and are not willing to
work for. The prodical son would
never have reached his fathers house
by wishing; but the manliness of his
nature was brought into action when
he said "I will arise and go to my
father.'.
The speaker claimed:
lst. That the Righteous has hope
in his death.
I'd. He has peace in his death.
Sd. He has consolation in his death.
These divisions of the subject were
presented in the most forcible manner
showing that 1t required something
more than death bed repentance to
constitute q righteous character
that procrastinatiOn is dangerous
experiment. The Bible gives but one
single instance of repentance at the
last hour. A Righteous character is the
only safe reliance, and such character
could not be made in an hour; it is
the work of lifetime, to mould a
cha racter suitable for the associations
Of Angles. In the presentation of the
subject the speaker drew illustrations
from historic characters. His voice,
his books, his features and language
were in harmOney with the grand
truths he presented to the audience.
1t was mastery effort and perfectly
harmonized with our idea of progress

important Question.

In an editorial published in last Sat-
urday's La Cronica, under this head
ing, we read very sensible exhorta-
tion to the voters of Los Angeles. It's
arguments In favor of the special
school tax to be voted on to-day are
very forcible. 1t says our Spanish
American population have not been
slow in voting against measure cal
culated to benefit private individuals
or corporations who have not the gen.
eral good of this city and county in
view; that they are not behind any
other nationality in their love of pro-
gress and civilizations; that they will
certainly vote to a unit in favor of a
measure which, costing but q small
amount to each one, is intended TO So
lidify the foundation of our future So
ciety, educating the rising generation.
We have now reached that progressive
point i'm which we comprehend the Inn
perative duty Of parents to educate
their children, and consequently we
should conscientiously favor all meas
ures having such laudable end In
! view.

The Ailegha ..ians.

There was music i'm the air at Turn
Verein Hall last night. The Allie
ghanians had fine audience and rem
hered programme replete with mel
ody to the satisfaction ofall. Pathetic,
comic and patriotic songs were given
vocally AID on the bells in a wonder
full manner. The sextette silver band
was novelty that received an enthu-
siastic encore, and the dOxOlogy of
national airs dismissed the large audi
ence In good humor. Tonight the
Alleghanians make their second ap-
pearance and the wonderful music of
the bells will be reproduced. Their
melody is unsurpassed; their cheerful
tones announce marriages; their muf-
fled voices follow us to the grave; the
church has consecrated them and they
call us to devotion; they sound the
fierce alarm, and in every way their
tongues have been utilized. Go to-
night and hear their varied music, as
rendered by the Alleghanians atTurn-
Verein Hall. s.a,

temperance Lecture.

Templar Hall was well filled on
Sunday night. Rev. DR.. White de-
livered the reguler monthly address,
which was replete with sound sense
and we'll calculated to strengthen the
good resolutions of sober people, but
it was too much on the sermonizing
order to reach the feelings of old
bloats. 1t made no difference, how
ever, as there were none such there.
Our temperance people are Jealous
and faithful and their cause deserves
success; but they lack variety In their
public efforts. A long course Of lee
lures on an old hackneyed subject
grows monotonous. If they would
get up an experience meeting and in
duce each of their reclaimed members
to tell what they know about intem-
perance, the house will be crowded
with new class of listeners. If such
a meeting were announced, the Court
House would not hold the audience.

DROWNED.
A practlcnI Joke dina. Ended FataIIy.

A sad casualty occurred Sunday af-
ternoon at Lake Vineyard, on DIR.
Shorbs place, about eight miles from
the city, in which young man named
John Wahr lost his life. 1t seems
that Wahr and three companions
went to the lake for a boat-ride and
bath. The party ali got into a small
row-boat at first, crossed the lake and
then round back to the starting-point,
when one of the number got out and
the rest pulled away for another ride.
After the boat had left the shore, the
young man who had remained behind
pointed to one of its occupants and
said to by-stander, "He is going to
turn the boat over" Sure enough,
when some distance out, the boat was
capsiZed. All of the occupants were
swimmers, and struck out for fence
which extended into tile water not far
distant. Two succeeded In reaching
the place of safety, but Wahr sudden
ly sank when about ten yards away.
a party started to the rescue at once
in another boat, but their efforts were
fruitless, as the drowning man did not
again rise to the surface. The body
was not recovered until yesterday
morning, when Mexican--an expert
swimmer-was secured, who dove to
the bottom and brought it up. AL
though in the water less than "a hours,
the corpse was terribly bfoated and
almost unrecognizable. Wahr was
about % years of age, and resided in
lei Monte. The other three, whose
names we have not been able to learn,
were from Los Nietos. The over
turning of the boat was doubtless a
foolhardy trick arranged between the
man who remained on the shore and
the one who executed the fatal. piece
of mischief. These two are no doubt
responsible for the drowning of their
unfortunate companion.

pointed, at this news. When Colonel
