IT'S NEW RECTOR.
Father COnlan to Preside
at St. Francis.
NAMED BY THE ARCHBISHOP.
History of the Church Which Was the
Cathedral of the Diocese in the
Days of Yerba Buena.

On July 9, 1881. young priest arrived IN
this city and said his first mass in Califor-
MIA at st. Francis Church On Vallejo street
Yesterday, little over eleven years alter,
the young priest, whose name is Father j.
G. Conlan, was installed pastor OF the
church which was once the cathedral Of
San Francisco, and in which he had only
once before said mass.
The appointment of Father Conlan to
succeed to the rectorShip made vacant by
the death OF the late Father Harrington
was wholly surprise TO that clergyman.
Father COnlan attended the funeral of his
old friend. Father Harrington, and after
the services received word that his Grace,
Archbishop Riordan. desired to see him.
&Tbinking the object OF the Archbishop
was TO give him some instructions regard
ing his church at San Pablo. Father Conlan
Immediately responded.
The Archbishop handed him his appoint
ment as rector of ST. Francis Church to sue
coed the late Father Harrington.
To say that Father Conlan was surprised
at the honor does not half express his feel
ings at the announcement of his appoint
ment by the eccesiastc head of tile diocese.
Father COnlan at the time OF his appoint
ment had in his pocket a ticket which he
had purchased for Honolulu, where he was
going on vacation 10 take a much-needed
rest for several months on account of inI-
paired health. He had not only packed up,
but was on his way 10 the Hawaiian Islands,

tomist cannot but rejoice in this Columbian
year that the rising generation is striving
10 attain a higher standard OF life than has
heretofore been attained
1t is this aspiration for what is best-this
discriminating judgment developed In early
yearS-that has made possible the phenomo-
nal success of the Youths Companion Its
publishers have spared neither care nor eX-
peDse 10 make their weekly paper the very
best Of its kind and no one will begrudge
them the financial profit that has accrued.
The policy Of its editors has ever been
not to permit any Of its contributors TO
write down" 10 the young folks. Good
English is never obscure 10 the youngest
minds, and slang is so easily picked up on
the streets that there Is no sense in impart-
ing 1t through the medium Of fiction.
1t is a compliment 10 our little ones that
intellectual leaders Of the world like Glad
stone, IennySon, Blame, Bismarck. Brown
ing. RuskiD, Lowell, Whittier and Whitman
have not hesitaed 10 write in thei: best
style for the ders Of the Youths Com
panion. The list of names of cee brated
people who will contribute to its pages dur
ing the present year is too long for repeti-
ton, but embraces many Of the best-known
writer's OF stories, poems and interesting
essays, whose work commands the highest
prices, because 1t is always worth reading.
The remarkable progress of this model
journal has necesSltated the construction Of
Dull0ing expressly designed 1or the ac-
commodation of the hundreds of busy work
ers employed in its editorial and mechanical
departments. And so the publishers have
recently erected a spiendid structure on one
OF the principal streets OF Boston.
1t Is speaking within bounds TO say that
there is no better-eQuipped newspaper
office in the country than this vast estab-
lishment. Ii contains ever so many per-
fecting Hoe presses of the Ia test NJ odels-
massive machines which, despite their pom
derous appearance can print with dainty
touch the eDgravsr's most delicate work
and, Of course, the eomposing-T where
scores of printers put manuscripts into
type, is equipped with every modern i'm
prOvement.
The editorial apartments and business Off
ces are handsomely decorated and c0nyen-
iently arranged. and. in short, the whole
building has already come to be recognized
as one OF the sights of Boston,
The propTiet0rs Of the Youths Compan-
ion are TO be congratulated, not only on their
evident financial prosperity, but for having
successfully demonstrated that a paper for
the young can he clean, whole some aud ele-
waiting in It's influence, yet Of absorbing in
terest and rare literary value,

MERITED SUCCESS.
Growth OF a Paper for
Young Folks.
1.-THE YOUTHS COMPANION"
Positive Proof That Good Literature
Is Appreciated by American
Children.

The most pronounced success yet achieved
IN the field OF journalism in the United
States cannot be credited to any of the great
dailies whose enterprise in gathering and
presenting the news has been generally rec
ognized by the public, but to paper de-
voted to the entertainment and advance
ment OF young people. 1t is all very we'll
to brag Of circulation Of $4,000 or 100000,
but when the Youths Companion, at the
ripe age OF sixty-fve years, can show the
names of over $4,000 subscribers on its
books, 1t is time for modest retirement on
the part OF its contemporaries.
Everybody knows that young folks like
to read. but few realize the intuitive critical
ability of children. If a story has not the
elements of plausibility, it is rejected by
the boys and girls Of to-day. Even laDses
OF literary style are only accepted under
protest by the pupils OF the public schools.
The traditional dime novel 10 no longer
read by the rising generation. Something
better than absurd sensationalism is de-
manded. The truth about art, history and
invention, the recital of noble deeds on land
and sea, romances that carry the young
reader beyond the rough roads of lfe--in
short. incentives toward a nuble ideal OF
life, are what delight the children Of nine
teenth-century parents.
1t argues well for the future OF America
that papers like the Youths Companion
have succeeded in supplanting the trashy
sheets which were once considered good
enough for our boys and girls. The op-

IMPRISONED ELK.
They Get Caught in the Deep Snow
and Are Rounded Up.

diiG AIT r\OuuGSh Ops
One Of the most singular occurrences ever
noted in this portion of the State, says q
Steamboat Springs (Colo) correspondent of
the New York Sun, took place here this
week as the result OF the storm which has
been raging in the mountains for the past
four days The fierce war of the elements
drove a band of elk, numbering over 1000,
down from the hills on TO a high mesa
thickly timbered, about twelve miles south
of this place. They attempted TO move
further in order to gain the valley, but in so
doing were caught in a deep. crusted snow,
where they e 1undered around, pOwerless to
advance or retreat Word OF the event was
soon passed, and rauchmen from all quar-
ters focked TO the spot, armed with shot
guns and rifles.
But two animals were shot and those only
to save the lives of the men attacks z
them. a man would select a large bull
elk. and. walking toward ii on the crust.
which would sustain his weight, with a
club cut from the neighb boring timber would
battle with the beast until well-drected
blow Just below the anters would stretch
the creature dead. Many narrow escapes
from the maddeBed animals are recorded.
When enough game had been secured TO
supply the domestic wants Of the ranchmen
a load Of hay was skidded to the half
starved survivors Of the band, which they
ate raVenously.
The climax, however, came yesterday.
when a ranchman Nv. b. Moore was called
from his bed by the furious believing Of
his cattle. The elk had forced themselves
from their temporary prison, and had at
tacked the haystacks in the valley. taking
entire possession of the ranches Of MessrS.
Moore, Holman, Brown, Nichols. Helm &
Co., and the Pleasant Valley Lins Stock
Company, and stampeding the cattle. After
a consultation had been held, the ranch
men decided that to drive them off would
mean starvation for the entire band, so the
elk we're rounded up by the firing of rifles
and guns and driven into Jay Sea Park.
where TWO companies Of stockmen own
hay, which they generously gave for the
use of the animals and the future benefit Of
spnrtsmen.
TIE elk show a remarkable degree OF tame
ness, and do not appear in the least dscon-
certed by the presence Of the men who go to
feed them. They crowd around the high
corral. peering through spaces 10 the logs.
and anXiously awaiting the scattering Of
the loads Ihey are consuming about six
tons a day. and conduct themselves much in
the same manner as the same number of
range cattle would do.
Elk have been caught here in a similar
manner before, but never in such large
numbers, and the experiment OF feeding
is q decidedly novel one.
