NICEA OF OLD.
The Church Council of the
Fourth Century.
Bishop Nichols Tells of That Great
Gathering of TheologianS and
of the NiCene Creed.

The fourth lecture in the st. Johns and ST.
Luke's course was delivered by Right Rev.
Bishop Nichols in Golden Gate Hall Tues
day evening TO an attentive and highly inter
eSted audience. The subject of the discourse
was mi cRa, the Historical City," which the
speaker termed lone of the greatest battle
fields of the faith which the world has ever
SEEM"
he Mecca OF the present, "a maze OF
tangled thickets. woods and ruins, with sO-
taTy Christian church crossing the summit Of
one OF hills" was cOntTasIed with the Nic8a
of the year 325, when the Ecumencal COuncIl
met there with the Emperor Constantine TO
consider and, if possible, reconcile the differ
ences then existing in the church, and glow
ing description was given of the hall In which
the 3lS Bishops gathered and OF The principal
perSonageS among them.
The mailman Ares" was described at
length, as was the gifted Athanaslus, whose
talents aud mental strength made him, In spite
OF the fact that lie was only deacon, one OF
The central figures in The august BODY.
THE motive of this council" said the Bishop,
twas not 10 originate new ideas, but 10 bear
testimony as 10 what the antecedrnt belief of
the church had been. In ma ural scenc- pro-
gressiOn is the law. We are always trying TO
discover new things, but in the theological
science. as illustrated in the council OF Nlce T.,
the opposite is the case. These learned Bishops
did not want TO formulate new ideas, but to
discover through testimony what had been the
faith since apostolic times"
The story of The adoption of what has been
since known as the NiceOe creed was given in
detail and most interestingly, and a suecial
Tribute was paid to AthanaStus by the speaker.
"In this century we undoubtedly excel in
many things" he said. 'San Francisco has cleo
trio lights and the Midwinter Fair and many
other wonderful things, and our country is to
tile fore in the annals of time so far as the in
dusirIal arts are concerned, but no century can
take all The prizes. Aristotle in philosophy
and Raphael IN art are too high to be reached
by any OF our day, and so 1t is in theology
Alexandria had no electric lights aud no expo
Sition, but she had Atnanasius"
description Of the EmperOrs banquet then
followed. and in conclusion the Bishop said:
Those men who went home lived their lives
and died and others succeeded them; NIC8a Is
a ruin, centuries have passed, but the creed
they formulated remains. The echoes of that
battlefield have never did away. No age has
produced such theOiogians, aud the master
piece of their theology Is that which we sti Il
call [ he NiceDe CIeed.'

that 1900 had been originally in line there,

Then came Peter Morris, who admitted

G. a. Jones had been here TWENTY-FIVE
years, James Hines thirty-four years, and
many others for over twenty years. Some

for cause.
One man was recognized by the Mayor
as an old hand. He admitted owning prop-
erty in Monterey County. but said it did
not yield anything at present. He had

ONLY A HAT.
But 1t Was Productive of an Amusing

Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

The big hat young woman wore to the
matinee Yesterday afternoon caused quite
a. tilt between the wearer and three ladies
who sat just back of her. 1t was wide and
high and almost completely shut out the
stage, SO at last one of tie ladies behind it
screwed up her courage to the sticking

hat and | will not do it,"
The lady attempted to argue the point
further. but 1t was no use, and she was
obliged to give up in despair. After that
not being able to see much of the stage,
the three fell into conversation concerning
the obstacle that cheated them out of see
ing the show.
They wondered why it had not been
removed, since the custom of taking off the
hat has gained such great favor among the
ladies OF culture everywhere. At last,
however, one remembered what the wearer
Of the obstacle had said about her bangs
not being fixed, aud remarked that it must
be because the bangs were fastened to the
hat instead of the head. Al this the piano.

The mystery was explained. The young

know that she was not seeing much of the

WALKING THE CARPET.
Charges Against Policemen Waite
and Clark Dismissed.


The Board of Police Commissioners met
last night, when the charges against three
policemen were disposed of.
Attorney Joseph j. Dunno addressed
the board on behalf Of Policeman W. IL.
Waite, who was charged with unwnrrant-
ably arresting Charles Calhoun. China
town ider. During his address he said
that Judge Campbell was decidedly wrong
in dismissing the vagrancy charge against
Calhoun. The charge against waite was
dismissed.
Policeman John J. McArdle was charged
by Captain Douglass with neglect OF duly
and was dismissed from the force.
The charge against Policeman l.. G..
Clark for violating rule of the DEPART
ment was dismissed. Clark Is the officer
who, in firing al some boys who held
up Chinaman on Tayl0r and California
streets, shot Miss COSgriff.
Regarding Clark's case Chief Crowley
said the commisson felt that il they
had not dismissed the charge it would have
been an encouragement TO the footpadS,
and owing to the excited state OF the ct-
zens' minds at present, when nearly 1000
permits had been issued to carry revolverS,
Clark should not be punished for firing
his revolver at fleeing criminals, although
be was unfortunate in shooting an limo
cent person.

The burglars had thrown brick through

the double object of discovering if any one
was sleeping inside and opening the door
bv inserting their arm through the hole
in the glass. There was no one inside,
and they were foled in opening the door
as the key had been taken out of the lock
by Mr.. Pearce. The brick was found in
the passage.
They then went TO the front door on the
