SILKS FOR WAISTS,

Thursday and while they last, a
closing out sale of broken lots of
fine Silks for Waists-beautifu
new lines that would yet be complete
and at their regular prices were it not
for our enormous business, but the
lines have been broken and must be
cleaned out.
This is 1885 most radical price
revolution. It's one of those extraor-
dinary end-of-season efforts to clear
the stock-where price, cost, value,
everything is made secondary to the
quick movement of immense quanti-
ties of merchandise.
We attempt no description-see
them in the large window alongside of
the main entrance and in great heaps
on the long counter, devoted to silks,
at the lower end of the store.

MUS|C'S HIGHER SPHERE,
William L. Tomlins Tells of
Its Great Aid to
Religion.
Calls 1t q Universal Language, Ex-
tending From the Cradle to
the Grave.

William L. Tomlins of Chicago, who was
largely instrumental in introducing music
among the churches of the foreign quarters
of Chicago, lectured last evening at the
First Unitarian Church on the part that
music takes in religion.
He spoke first of the great good that the
introduction of music had done among the
poor Italians, Poles, Jews and Swedes of
Chicago, remarking incidentally that he
himself had been greatly benefited by
music.
Music" he said, "is a universal Ian
guage, extending from the cradle to the
grave, and none are so poor or SO humble
that thsy cannot be benefited as well as
the rich and arlstocratic.
"Ruskin says that music will not lend
itself to an unworthy subject. and believe
tain dance music is bad and leads to i'm
morality. / doubt this statement in re-
spect to real music. Show me the compo-
sition that has a bad moral effect on q
healthy mind, and | think l will find that
it is not true musical position-that
it contains flaws that account for its effect.
81 once heard John B. Cough, the great
temperance lecturer, deliver an address.
and soon after was present when Patti
sang, and l was astonished at the differ
ence between the powers which they ex-
erted over their audiences. Mr.. Cough
began by telling number of anecdotes,
which, while they were apparently given
for the purpose of getting his audience
into good humor, were really intended
to interest every' one of their
senses and faculties, SO that they
would absorb his later utterances
more thoroughly. When he saw that they
were thoroughly alive and e1pectant, he
entered upon his subject. All this pre-
paration consumed perhaps forty minutes.
"How different with Patti. She had not
sung more than the first bars of some
| familiar ballad before her audience was at
| her feet. 1t was the power of music
which swayed them, steadying the spirits
| of those who were strung up to too high a
pitch and raising those who were de-
| pressed.
emusic should be taken into all kinds OF
life, for in all walks it will aid in turning
the hearts of those who hear it toward the
creator of it.'

RELIGION AND SCIENCE.
Rev. DR.. Mackenzie Delivers His First
Lecture at the First Presby-
terrain Church.


DR.. Mackenzie, pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church, delivered the first of
series of lectures on religion and science
last night. The text selected for the even
ing's discourse was taken from Acts xvii:
%: 81 perceive that in all things We are
very religious"
"This course of lectures is suggested to
me by the recent death of the third of that
masterful quartet of minds-Darwin, Tyn-
dali, Huxley, Spencer-who have guided
our advance in the knowledge OF nature
and of man." said DIR. Mackenzie. 81 am
asking the question, after all the advance
of this new knowledge, what remains of
our beliefs and hopes as Christians?
Among the things that remain is religion.
'Paul spoke these words on Mars Hill.
Below him was the market place. On the
other side of him were the remains of
great theater, where in earlier days men
learned how to live and labor.
1--WE have been in such theater for the
past forty years. Many actors have come
and gone, but these four were easily the
stars, They were men of wide learning, OF
eloquent expression, of magnetic person
atty and of broad influence. During these
wears we did not care to sit down to the in
tellectual tragedies of our time except one
of them was on the stage. Their theme
was the scope and limit of all knowledge
possible to man."

CHARITY OF CATHOLICS,
Three Months Work of the
St. Vincent de Paul
Conferences.
Ladies' of ST. Roses Distribute 6948
Pieces of Clothing After the
Fire.

The third general conference of presi-
dents and secretaries of the Society of st.
Vincent de Paul City Conferences met yes
terday afternoon in the hall of St. Patrick's
Church.
John M. Burnett, president of the gen.
eral body, called the meeting to order. A
prayer was offered by the Rev. Father J.
Brennan.
Reports of work done by the various
bodies, comprising st. Peters, st. Domi-
MICS, st. Joseph's, Sacred Heart ST. Roses,
st. Mary's, St. Theresa's, St. Bridget's, st.
Francis and St. Paurs, were read. The
general secretary. P. J. Thomas, stated
that in all, 339 families had been visited
during the past three months, and that
1882 had been expended in relief work.
The conference that had done the most
work during the quarter was the st. Roses
conference. This was due to the recent
fire in that parish.
A com munication was read from the
Almshouse committee. recommending that
the members of the various conferences
donate papers. books and pamphlets for
the use of the inmates of that institution.
President T. Roach of the s.. Roses
conference was requested to state what his
branch had done for the fire sufferers.
THE society has expended all of its
money with the exception of 49," he said.
eve relieved a great many families. In
this we were aided by the Associated Chart
ties, the San Francisco Benevolent Society
and the Examiner. Now that all of our
money has been used and there are yet
many families suffering, / would suggest
that the president of the general body
should try and procure a portion of the
$4,000 legacy left the st. Vincent de Paul
conferences by Mr. Carroll
81 must say that when we were aiding
destitute families in our parish, members
of our conference went to various wealthy
Catholics of this City for contributions,
but we were denied assistance in all in
stances"
tees of the general body to procure, if pos
sible, an advance of $500 of the Carroll
legacy from the executors and that this
sum be handed to the st. Roses confer
ence to continue the relief work.
A report was read commencing the noble
work done in behalf of the fire sufferers by
the ladies of the League of the Sacred
Heart. They opened bureau at 5171z
Fourth street and distributed 6948 pieces
of clothing, SIS in money and large
amount of furniture. This charitable
work was carried on by Mrs. Mary Nc
Bride, Miss Nellie McCreagh, Miss Mary
Garetz, Miss Mamie Gang and Mrs. Mary
Laneke, all mem bers of st. Roses parish.
The Rev. Father ]. Brennan delivered
short address. During the course of his
remarks he said that he was surprised to
see SO many men engaged in such a noble
work, and he hardly thought that San
Francisco had such men as these.
The conference then adjourned until the
Sunday following Decem Der s, when 1t will
assemble at st. Theresa's Church.
The officers of the st. Vincent de Paul
Society desired to state that their confer
ence relieves all worthy destitute, ire

in, picked each one off the buoy and

in, picked each one off the buoy and
carried him to shore.
The lifeboat was launched at this point
and as it approached some OF the men on
the wreck Jumped overheard, while others
threw barrels and boxes after them to
keep them up until rescued. The crew in
the boat went after each man and hauled
him into the boat, illustrating in very
realistic manner how lives are saved.
Three times this was done and among
those rescued was a woman in female
attire. The captain, who was attired in a
suit of good store clothes, also went over
the side and was rescued. Then the life
saving crew went out, capsized their own
boat, righted it, capsized it again and
righted it second time. She was then so
full of water that when they started to row
her ashore the rowlocks were under. 1t
was hard pull, but the men made the
shore.
Then one of the crew jumped into the
water and another went after him. This
was to show how drowning man strug-
giles with one who goes to save him, and
how to handle a man under the circum-
stances When taken ashore this man
was handled by the life-savers to illustrate
how an apparently drowned man should
be treated to bring him to consciousness
again. The last of the exhibition was
sending a cutting block to part the hawser
from the masthead.
The whole, which was under the super
intendence of G. A. Daley, was very sue
cessful and proved an exhibition that was
very much appreciated.
For an hour after that the big crowd
wandered around the grounds and many
