CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH INTERESTS.
 Rev MT Vaughan would be greatly obliged to any person who will tell him the exact address of Mrs Abbott, former ly Electa Warner. He is told that she lives in Rochester, N. Y., but that ad- dress is insufficient.
 The subjects for next Sunday at the Congregational church are, morning, .sThe TabooiDg of Christ;'' evening, "Ring out the Old, Ring in the New"
 A hearty invitation is given to. all per sons not now attending any church to at- tend the Congregational church. Messrs Warner and Welby have been appointed ushers. They will see that everyone is immediately shown to seat and provid- ed with a hymn boUk.
 John Owen Jones, of Yale and Bridge water, is expected to spend from Monday to Wednesday of next week at the par. sonage. MT and Mrs Vaughan will give 8 reception in his honor on Wednesday evening, from to II.
 Prayer meetings are to be held by tht Congregationalists, next year. A hun dred s'Cangregationalist Handbooks' have been ordered, in which are the top ics for each evening. The meetings vii be held, not in the chapel, but in private houses. It is thought likely that for va rious reasons it will not be possible tt hold the meetings with absolute regular iity. Probably there will be not nor, than 40 during the year. Since there arr 80 Congregational homes, it is expected that half of them will be thrown open, 8. that it will not be necessary to go to any home more than once during the year The meetings will be held in the outlay ing districts when there is moon and il or around the Center during the dark ev enings. It is probable they will be hell on Wednesdays, st z. Rev MT Vaughan will be glad to receive the names of thos
 willing to open their houses.

 The Sunday school united with the Sunday school of the Episcopal church for the celebration around the Christ- mas tree. Delightful exerciscs were held. The address of welcome was given by little Peter Carl, who gave, however, anything but small welcome. Then four little children followed with q series of appropriate verses. Next was recitation by Clarence Bronson on how Great Love came to the world In the year one and again h the year 1894, and how he was received. Russell Clark also gave recitation on ssJoe's search for Santa Claus.' ' Recitations were also giyen by Viola Carl, Mabel Barnes, Marjory Farrand. Mary Brins- made and Ruth Fenn.

of listeners which more than taxed its
caracity, particularly in the afternoon
and evening,
The aftei noon meeting was the most
notable one since the beginning of the re-
vval. Mt only was the number OF con-
verts large. for they fairly thronged the
altar, but among them were three men
whose silvered hair announced that they
were no longer young nor even middle
aged. and it brought forth rarfect storm
OF nallelujahs when Mr.. Yatman ex-
claimed that the Christ he preached could
save cid as well as young. Another re-
markable conversion, and one that pleased
the reviva.ist very much, was that of The
man who put up the tent, but who when
he drove the stakes aud set the ropes had
little idea that beneath the canvas he
would make start in the Christian life.
You've got good COMPANY, brother"
exclaimed Mr.. Yatman. Paul was a
tentmaker, too"
There was quite shaking up among the
Methodist ministers in this city yesterday,
so much so that not one of them preached
in his owa church. Mr.. Yatman believes
in changing his workers around and send
ing new men to old fields, and in accord
ance with that idea he made the following
assignments: DR.. Case at Central Church,

A CLASSIC PROGRAMME.
That of the Vienna Prater Sacred
Concert.

The sixth sacred concert of the Vienna
Prater orchestra in Metropolitan Temple
Yesterday morning was more distinctly
devoted TO sacred and strictly classical
music than most OF the preceding ones.
The overture to Gluck's "Irhigenia."
with the Wagner ending. was played in
the classic style that baftted It, The
prayer from Weber's "Freischutz" was
beautifully interpreted. as also was Hen
selts Ave Maria" Concert-master j, I'm
MarQuardt gave a dreamy and sympathetic
rendering of the 'Traumerei from the
Russian Suite" by Wurst. and he ''Largh-
etto," from Spohr's Z minor quartet, was
played In chaste and classic style
Herr Carl Grlenauer's vi0loscello solo,
from the second movement of Svendsen's
second concerto, would have been more
pleasing II he bad not strayed off the key
occasionally. His tone was better than
usual and his shading was artistic.
Bee hoVeD,s overture, "Leonore" No. 3,
left little to be desired. The tempo was
brilliant and the rhythm crisp and beauti-
full The brass instruments, which enter
so largely into the orchest, alton of this
march, were excellent, but the strings
were scarcely powerful enough to counter
balance them in the ensembles.
Tonight in response to a general reouest
and in honor of the birthday of he .'Irop
Chancellor" Prince Bismarck, there will
be given by the orchestra a repetition of
Warriors Night" which proved such a
phenomenal success on its last presenta.
ti0n. The programme, which is familiar
to all music lovers, will doubtless attract
an immense audience. it will be rendered
by the full force uf the great orchestra, as
sisted by the Light Battery of the Second
Regiment, one company of regulars, United
States army, one company of the National
Guard, State OF California. and one CON-

THE TURN VEREIN.
Gynnasts Give an Annual
Exhibition.
Prince BisH1arck's Birthday Cele-
brated With Gayety at the
Turk Street Hall.

II Prince Won Bismarck, the Iron Chan
ceIlor," had thought fit to travel all the
way to San Francisco to celebrate his
birthday. he would, no doubt, have had a
good time.
Honor 10 his memory was done yester-
day by the San Francisco Turn Verein,
which seized the occasion for the holding
of an annual gymuastic festival in the So
cietY's hail on Turk street. Old aud
young took part in the exercises and an
enthusiastic crowd filed the building, to
see and appreciat the efforts of their
athletic friends and relatives. under the
a bic direction Of their teacher, Professor
Robert Barth.
Unfortunately for the American visitor
the programme was printed in German,
but there were kind friends ever handy to
translate, and throughout the evening
porlly walters hurried to and fro bearing
fOaming tankards Of cool lager, so that all
was fun and jollity.
All classes of the society tonk part. The
juvenile classes Of about 100 girls and 300
boys were represented in calesthenlcs,
drilling, singing, and all other athletic ex-
ercises. The ladies' class proved an i'm
manse attraction, especially with the drill
ing exercises. and some realistic scenes
were given by the fencing class. In fact
these latter experts went at 1t with such a
will that the onlookers felt tempted 10
step onto the stage and see whether the
men were properly padded. They wore
masks, of course. aud banged away with
desperate energy.
One of the most amusing features of the
evening was the old mems exercises on the
vaul ing-horse. One or two erstwhiie ath-
ietes found that their too, too solid flesh
somewhat interfered with that grace which
is charac eristic of finished gymnast, and
in consequence some of their exhibitions
were lrreslstibly amusing. But they all
enj"yed it, and so did the spectators, who
laughed heartily.
AT the horizontal bar some really neat
feats were exhibited, and altogether
the evening was pronounced sue
cess. The member Of the leading
German societies are going TO give an exhi-
6ition at the Midwinter Fair shortly, and
in August next the Turn Verein will hold

OLD AND YOUNG CONFIRMED
Sacrament Conferred by the
Archbishop.
EVANGELIST YATMAN's REVIVAL

All Who Would Listen 10
His ExhortationS.

Two of the Catholic churches in this
eity were the scenes of largely attended
combinations yesterday, the sacrament il
both cases being conferred by Archbishop
Riordan.
In the morning after the 80 o'clock
mass rs boys and 135 girls were confirmed
in the Church of st. Rose on Brannan
street, near Fourth. The building was
beautifully decorated with evergrtens and
white blossoms, the arch-episcopal throne
being one fragrant mass of st. Joseph's
lilies. The girls. all In white, with
wreaths and wells, presented beautiful
picture, and the church was so densely
thronged with Worshipers that there was
scarcely standing room.
The music was interpreted by a large
and select choir. under the direction OF
Miss Nugent, Mrs. l. j. MJynihan pre-
siding for the occasion at the organ,
Leiears beautiful third mass was rem
dered in addition to several selections
sung during the sacrament Of contirma-
tiOn.
Father Osborne celebrated the high
mass, and Rev. Dennis Nngent acted as
master of the cere monies. The Arch
bishop. who preached from the. text, MY
L
took occasion TO urge the children to join
the League of the Cross" saying thai
they-eould not choose a better time than
that Of their confirmation TO declare them
selves on the side of temperance.
Confirmation was conferred in the after
noon by Archbishop Riordan at the church
of ST. Brendan's upon about 100 children,
most of whom were girls. and a number OF
adults. who had been moved 10 desire the
sacrament by the mission held in st. Bren-
dams Church during holy week by the
Paulists Fathers.
80 R-v: Father John Nugent. pastor of the
church. was the master Of the ceremonies
aud Rev. Father Cannon also assisted in
the service. The Archbishop preached a
very impressive SerNOn upon the strong
Influence that hume impressions and the
example of parents have upon children,
urging upon the large congregation to lead
such lives as they would pray for their
children to lead.
The Combinations at the two churches
took place week earlier than has been
usually the case ID other years, as next
Sunday Rev. George Montgomery will be
conseerated in ST. Mary's Cathedral, on
Van Ness avenue. by Archbishop Riordan
to be Bishop of Los Angeles.
