FAIR Ar CHURCH.
s,... Excitement in San Francisco.

Great Excitement in San Francisco.
Arthur McEwen, in one of his letters
to the Oakland Times, says
The Nevada friends of the ex-Sen-
ator will be agreeably surprised to hear
that since making San francisco his
permanent place of residence, Mr..
Fair has become a prominent member
Of Grace Episcopal Church"
The above is literal fact, strange
though it may seem. A few Sundays
ago, when the editor Of the Appeal
was in San Francisco. he observed the
ex-senator walking past the Palace
Hotel dressed in broad-clotb suit al
most clerical in its cut and Nd air of
piety about his general make up which
was delightful to see.
He held a small PRAYER book in his
hand, bound with rich purple velvet
and tho Nevada boys noticed him al
once.
Say" said Chancellor Derby, "isn't
that Jim Frir going to church :"
"0h, yes" said Bob Heating, that's
HIM he's joined the Episcopal Church,
and goes no~ quite r@gnla,lJ,-.
In few moments the news that Far
was going 10 church spread around
the CORRIDORS of the Palace, and there
was great excitement. Some OF them
thought it WAS joke, but Derby offer
ed to bot each man $50 that it was Sc,
and IN 20 time party was made up
to 20 along and see the venerable ex-
Senator say his prayers. Over dozen
Nevada men went along IN rockaways.
There was Senator Foley, who "op-
posed the lottery on moral grounds"
Arthur Mcnwep, the old Sacramento
Bee friend of Fair.
Sam Jones and Lon Hamilton, who
were persuaded to go to Grace Church
although they were heading at the time
for tho First Presbyterian.
Christopher Powning and Allen
Bragg, Of Reno, who never before saw
the inside of sacred edifce.
James Rule, Fairs old mining part
ncr, aud ssveral other well-known
sagebrushcrs.
They found the Senator in a front
pew. and he responded in a rich, de-
votional voice to all the command
ments, and entoned the Litany rs well
as any body.
He handled his PRAYER book as well
as if 1t were n miners candlestick. He
even joined in singing one of the
chants, and when the Alnens came he
rolled them out ln fine style.
The buys were at first disposed to
scott, but when they heard the sacred
music and saw how really in earnest
the old fellow was, they all dropped
on their knees and prayed with him.
