HOURIETS BLACKBOARD.
An Enthusiastic Scientist Plays Hav

An Enthusiastic Scientist Plays Havoc
With Court Exhibit.
An incident which had its humorous side,
though it struck terror into the soul Of one
of the Sheriff's subOrdinates for the time
being, occurred on Saturday in the New
City Hall, where it created no end of amuSe-
ment at the officials expense. Houriet, the
artesan well enthusiast, had been explain
ing to the Supervisors Committee on Water
Supply. the advantages of his plan, and for
the furtherance of his scheme brought in a
blackboard for the purpose of demOnstrat-
ing its beauties.
Some little time after the committee had
adjourned the bailiff of Judge Coffey's de-
paTtment was observed skirmIshing up ana
down the corridors Of the hall in search ola
missing blackboard. The interesting dis
cOYery was then made that H0uriet,
finding the committee had no black board Of
its own, started out on an independent hunt,
and passing the open door Of Department
9, esDied Just such a board as he needed at
the right of the Judges bench, and he made
for it.
The courtroom happened to be empty,
and two or three minutes later he numbered
into the committee-room putting like saw
mill and struggling with board two or
three times his own dimensions. 1t was
covered with characters of all shapes and
sizes, bat, unmindful of their possible I'M
pOTtance, the enthusiastic scientist wiped
them out with single swOop.
The baiIiff recognized the missing board,
but when he discovered that the illustra-
tions of handwriting used in the Dana will
contest had been 0biterated he tore his
hair and shuddered at the thought Of Teturn-
ing with that board into the presence of

TURNING TO AMERICA.
A Japanese Cruiser to Be Built in
San Francisco.

There is every reason to believe that one
of the most important contracts ever let in
California is about TO be entered into be-
tween the Union Iron Works of this city
and the japanese Government. While Sc
crecy has been observed by those inter-
ested, it is understood that representatives,
of Japan have been in San Francisco for
some time for the purpose of negotiating
contract for the building of a torpedo
cruiser, and have sailed for home for the
purpose Of getting final instructions before
making the award.
The news was first brought here a few
DAYS ago by an American who has been for
some years in the employ of the japanese
Government, and who explained that the
people of the empire were beginning 10 look
to tins country for all that was best in the
building trades. The fame of the new
cruisers recently completed for the United
States Navy had gone abroad, and the
Nikado's advisers had decided to see what
could be done toward making arrangements
for d new cruiser which they had deter
mined upon. For that reason 4 commission
was sent TO confer with the owners of the
Union Iron Works, and they spent some time
at the Palace Hotel, and were seen q num-
Der Of times In close consultation with the
Scots.
Henry I. Scott was seen last night at his
residence on Clay street and refused to con-
firm or deny the rumor.
Il can only say that no contract has been
let" he said when Intercepted, and
on being pressed for further information
refused to discuss the matter at all. He
would not deny that representatives of the
japanese Imperial Government had called
upon him number Of times Of late.
If the TumOT should be true it is a matter
of unusual Importance to America, as this
would be the first ship ever built for for
eign government by an American firm. Here
tOfOre, England and France, especially IN
the way Of waT-Yessels, have done tile prin-
eipai ship-building for the world and Amer
lea has never been looked upon as a posi-

tality is as firm as at the first because it is
founded on eternal truth, and is sustained
bv its divine founder whose promises are as
sure TODAY as when he first gave them to his
disciples.
THE RESULT OF LUKEwARNINEss.
At this point Archbishop RiOrdan gave a
brief historical summary of the causes which
led to the rise Of the Protestant reiorma-
ton, the rise of the Anglican and Methodist
denominations. He claimed they are nat
urai results that follow lukewarm' condl-
ton of unity when the church was foTget1uI
of its high duty and when men OF powerful
minds were able to take advantage OF the
occasion TO break away from the truth ana
to attract the following Of immense numbers
of men who prefer to follow their own ideas
than 70 come under subsection to the old and
permanent organization that has never
failed to satisfy its true believers.
In closing the speaker urged bis hearers
TO live pure and clean lives full of good
works. to show to every person the power
of their principles and to attract them TO the
mother church. Her doors are always open
and her history is one OF glorious promise to
the faithful woTshiper.
At the conclusion of the sermon the relig-
iOus ceremonies were resumed, and at their
close the aud fnce was dismissed. All the
officiating c9rgymen were warmly wei
coined By their friends upon the successful

A SENTINEL,S VIGILANCE.

1t Saves the Camp From the Horrors OF
an Indian Massacre.
Midnight The three sentinels softly
enter camp, bend over the sleepers, and five
minutes later the guard has been changed.
Those that slept are now as Yatchful as
foxes; those that watched are in the land Of
dreams.
Half-past twelve o'clock No sound now
but the purling waters, and their monOtOny
would close the eyes of sentinel that lis
tened long.
One o'clock Now there is the quietness
of a graveyard. Men and horses seem to be
dead The sentinel to the east gives a sud-
den start. He would deny it on oath, but
for an instant he slept He shakes himself
and looks over the camp. All Is peace, but
he has received shock that makes his
heart beat faster. His stand is at the foot
Of a cottonwood tree. He sinks down on
bis knees and peers out from each side OF
the trunk. Nothing is in sight-nOthing but
the dark shadows cast by the clouds.

human being. Watch what? Watch where?
Watch for whom?

on the grass hundred feet away. 1t is the
shadow of a cloud. The darker spot in the
center is a rock lifting its head out of the
earth. He noticed it before the darkness
came. He can see nothing mOying-there is
no danger.
Look! LoOki LoOkr'
His heart jumps again, and his eyes go
back 10 the dark spot. They cling there for
two or three minutes, during which time
the cricket is absolutely silent Did some
thing move? is the black spot nearer than
it was?

Three or four men advance to the dark

The leading pieces sung were Mill0rd's
Mass and the "Agnus Del of Petar."
The dedicatOTy sermon was delivered by
his Grace Archbishop RiOrdan. He spoke
without notes and was listened to through
out with marked attention by the large
audience. His text was taken from that
portion Of St Matthew Gospel xviii 1920,
which relates TO sending forth the disciples
10 teach all nations, 'BaptiZing them in the
name Of the Father, and of the Son, AID of
the Holy Ghost; teaching them TO observe
all things whatsoever L have commanded
You; and 10 l am with you Away, even

The distinguished pTelate took occasion,
before beginning the sermon, 90 make a
strong appeal to the members of the parish

that 50 many members Of his church were
growing BegleCtful of their obligations in
attending service and in Obeyng the VOWS
assumed by them in baptism and c0nhrma-
ton. The GOODNESS and Indifference to the
true faith were a serious problem Of the
day for the church to contend with, and it
seemed to the speaker that he would rather
not have any knowledge Of the truth than to
have once taken upon himSelflthe solemn
obligations ana then to grow lax IN their
observance. He warned his hearers that in
this they were indulging in false hopes Of
securing either present prosperity or future
happiness, aud, on the day of Judgment,
those who never had the opportunity Of
bearing the truth could be much more GER
tain Of being judged with compassion than
they.
He again referred to the temporary char
acter Of the present church edIfce, and said
they must be prepared to give their pastor
ample support IN his efforts to replace the
wooden structure with one of durable ma
teTiaI. As they were blessed with temporal
prosperity, it was their duty TO lay aside
regularly Of their substance in support OF
future building operations.

that certain OF your friends whom you have always

there is nothing equal to pure whisky. Doctors,

Interesting Religious Ceremonies
Yesterday.

The ceremonies attending the dedication
Of the Church Of the Holy Cross yesterday

character The attendance was very large
and the exercises were conducted according
TO the full ritual Of the Roman Church. The
present building has been twice moved. At

until recently, when another change was
necessary, and a final resting s.Ot was Sc

corner Of Scott
The building showed few signs of its mi
graticns yesterday and was as bright and
cheerful as possible. The only reference to
its previous history was made by Arch
bishop Riordan, who told the congregation
plainly that the present building was to be
considered merely as a temporary place of
worship. After its various wanderings its
work was done and they must prepare ways
and means to replace the wooden structure
with one Of permanent character, fitted for
the work of this growing parish.

With this introduction the Archbishop
began his sermon by speaking of the cir
Cumstancps under which our Savior gave his
disciples their great charter to 90 forth into
the world TO convert all nations TO the true
faith. These words are precious In the his
