About o'clock last night party of SOL

small craft swamped. but with her jib set,

The tide was fast carrying her seaward.
Taking barge the soldiers. under COM

completely swamped, only her gunwales
being above water.
They tried to tow her back, but 30

headway.
The Government tug General Mcdowell
happened along about 6 80 and towed both
little crafts O Alcatraz.

Mrs. Stanford was approached by friends
and others interested in the church with
regard TO perpetuatng the chapel as a
lasting memorial which would be appIe-
ciated by the public at large, and especially
by those who might wish to bid farewell
TO their dead under the roof of a sanctuary
dedicated to God. as the former chapel
was used by many in which to hold the
last sad rltes.
When the death Of King Kalakaua took
place prints Of the memorial chapel ap-
peared in which his body was shown as it
laid in state, with the thTOngs of people
who passed as they gaZed upon the feat
ures of the dead monarch.
With the chapel are also associated the
names of Governor Washington Bartlett
and Senator J. +. Miller, who were borne
away from beneath its portals to their
final restiDg-Dlacp. as were also the re-
mains of Mrs. Stanford's sister, Mrs
Hewes, the only blood relation of the
donor whose remains were placed within
its walls.
The proposed memorial mortuary cha pei
will be built of Cousa sandstone, similar
to that now being used in the construction
of the church. The entrance will be on
Austin street.
The interior will be finished in ligtt t
oak and decorated in blue and gold. with a
floor of mosaic work to match. The chapel
will be surmounted by a dome, beneath
which will be erected the catafalque. and
around this space will be placed suitable
emblems and inscriptions.
Behind the catafalQue will be erected an
altar surrounded by rail. The seating
accommodation will be limited, as the d.

MORTUARYC CHAPEL
Mrs. Stanford Considering
the Plans.
A BEAUTIFUL CONCEPTION
An Artistic and Useful Adjunct to
the Handsome New Trinity
Church Building.

VIII the Stanford Memorial Chapel Of
Trinity Parish be perpetuated?
Early in the summer of 1885 Mrs. Leland
Stanford, through and with the co-opera-
tion of the then rector. Rev. DR.. Beers, the
church wardens and the vestry, erected a
small yet beautiful chapel to the memory
OF her son, Leland Stanford Jr.. at a cost
OF $1,000, to be used as mortuary chapel
At that time the parishioners of Trinity
were not in atprogressive state in which
they are to-day. and many of them little
thought that the church property on Pest
and Powell streets would ever be sold or
the building torn down. Nor did Mrs.
Stanford, when she went to the expense Of
building and renovating portion of the
old church as chapel" imagine that the
church building would ever be demoli he'd.
The building committee Of the church
set apart portion of ground adjoining the
new building en- Austin street, below

dimensions for mortuary purposes, and
