THE CYCLONE SOLD.
VOn Schnlidt'S Yacht Will

Novel Plans for Bringing Fish Alive

WILL BUILD A HUGE WE'LL In HER.
A Once Famous Racing Craft Will Cruise

WILL BUILD A. HUGE WE'LL IN HER.

Admiral Won Schmidt's once famous
lugger-yacht, the Cyclone, which was
laughed at by calm-water mariners when
she Law at anchor in Oakland Greek, but
struck terror into their hearts when she
competed in race, will no longer be seen
cleaving the waters of the bay as pleasure
craft, but will soon be transformed into a
strangely fashioned fishing vessel.
A syndicate of well-to-do Italians has hit
upon novel idea for the fishing business,
and in its search for a vessel to suit its
requirements stumbled against the Cyclone
as she swung idly at her moorings In
Sessions Basin. She suited them to a
nicely, and they at once entered into ne
gotiations for her purchase.
Their idea is to put huge well amid
ships in the yacht, capable of holding
many thousands of gallons of water, and in
this receptacle keep alive whole cargo of
fish, caught on the halibut banks, until
they can be delivered to the markets of
the city. They hope by this means to
realize much better prices for their catch
than do those fishermen who bring their
fish in dead and in some cases several days
after they have passed on to the piscatorlal
happy hunting grounds. The well will be
so contrived that the water will have free
1ngress and egress to the imprisoned fish,
and at the same time not impair the sail
ing qualities of the vessel
The present rig of the Cyclone will be
taken out and instead of the one huge
mast which, when fitted with its topmast,
towers 90 feet above the deck, two short
stout sticks will be put in, fitted with main
SAIL foresail and jib.
The Cyclone is particularly adapted for
the purpose for which she is intended, on
account of the peculiarities in her con-
struction. Though but A feet 8 inches in
length she has a beam of Il feet, making
her very nearly half as broad as she is
long. Her oyerhang comes neither for
ward nor aft as IN yachts generally, but
amidships, cutting under from two to three
feet from the rail to the water line. Below
the water line she is shaped like wedge,
drawing over ten feet of water when pro-
vided with an ordinary amount of ballast.
| In spite of her lack of length she registers
| 1851 tons net. That she is splendid sea
boat has often been attested when her
owner took her out to sea over heavily
breaking bar, and in spirit of adventure
for which he is noted gave the pilot boats
a race off the Farallones.
The Cyclone was built in 1881 at a cost of
nearly $4,000, the large expense arising from
the very solid manner in which she was
constructed. Oregon pine of great thick
ness forms her sides and deck, while her
ribs and keel are of seasoned oak. A
sheathing of copper protects her bottom.

declared that the church itself needs
awakening from its concern about unim-
portant things.
He recited a parable which was designed
to enforce the lesson. There was a family
of brothers who were world-famous for the
antiquity of their house. They were very
rich and each brother lived in his own
palace. They claimed that their genera
lions led back to God himself and that
their family record was written by God
himself.
A wise man went to learn from this
family of God and truth, and of course of
the family which boasted such high privi-
lege. He went to one brother and another
and another, and each claimed that he
was the true representative of the ancient
house. and that all his brothers had either
lost their birthright through their many
mistakes, or that being younger they had
no claim upon the authority vested in the
eldest. And the wise man read their book
and found that it was like the books he
knew in the outside world, and he came
away feeling that the sacred family was not
unlike the great family who claimed no
sanctity.
Mr.. Sprague held that much of what is
called religion is only talking during sleep,
and that there is need OF awakening into
the realities. He said a revival would not
do. for there is no particular time in the
past fit to be revived. 1t must be an unfold
ing of all that has gone before, a afulfllment
of creeds. books. temples and forms.

creased since the present pastor took
charge in November Of last year. Rev. j.
George Gibson, the minister, is graduate
of Surgeons College and scholar OF st.
Andrews University, Scotland. He al
ways breaches without manuscript and is
good singer. A feature of the evening
service is a solo from the preacher.
After giving barytone solo last night
the preacher delivered an interesting SER
mon from the words: "Be diligent, that ye
may be found of him in peace, without
spot and blameless Among other things
he said: ''The history of Jesus is an his
torical reality His life has been written
even by infdels. The true Christian looks
forward as well as backward. Science has
its prophecies. The prophetical is possl-
BILE, therefore it is worthy of consideration.
Christ is coming to the earth again. When
we cannot tell. The uncertainty adds force
to the repeated warning-'watch.'
"'Be diligent.' Peter had seen Jesus go
ing about continually doing good His
advice was not original. He had worked
the vision of that earnest toiler into his
own life. The words are not harsh as they
come to US through these two lives. Have
we been diligent with ourselves? While
working for property have we also been
mindful to work for characters? What
about our neighbors and children? Have
we been diligent so to live and act before
them that they will be prepared for the
Lords coming? The world is our field.
Our duty is to prepare to receive the Lord
as guest, and not as an enemy"

ART AND RELIGION.

Pictures.

Rev. W. W. Bolton breaches on the Uses Of
Pictures.
'tThe arts were intended to be the hand
maidens of religion" was the subject of a
sermon preached yesterday morning by
the Rev. w. W. Bolton at the church of st.
Mary the Virgin on Steiner street.
The speaker told how Solomon adorned
the temple with carvings and other works
of art, and said that what was right for the
ancient Jewish temple ought not to be
Christ's dispensation came to fulfill and not
to destroy the ancient one. Only such
things as sacrifices, which had been ex-
pressly forbidden by Christ or his church,
did not hold as true under the Christian as
under the Jewish dispensation.
The difference was explained between an
image, which represents sacred thing,
and an idol, which is worshipped as though
it were endowed with the faculties of God
himself. The making of images could not
have been forbidden by the second COM
mandment, because by divine command
the serpent was set up in the wilderness
and cherubim were made for the temple.
Images and pictures have been abused
without doubt, but shall we utterly neglect
a thing because there is a danger of over
doing it.
s'Do not people kiss the pictures of those
fixion speaks more strongly than words.
Men cavil at the pictures of Calvary, yet
they gladly adorn their walls with pictures
of the events which led up to Waterloo or
Bunker Hill. If we do not think our homes
complete without pictures and statues shall
not the house of God be adorned with the
pictures of his saintS?"

MARE ISLAND NOTES.
TIE Cruiser Olympia Getting Ready i
Sea.

The Cruiser Olympia Getting Ready for
Sea.
VALLEJO, Feb. 10.-The new cruiser Olym-
pia came out of dock at 2 O'Clock Saturday
afternoon by aid of the tug Sea King which
came up from San Francisco for the pur-
pose. TO prevent damage to her propeIIers
floats were placed on each side of the
cruiser to aid in keeping her in the middle
OF the dock and while going out of the en-
trance. She was at once taken up along
side the coal wharf where she will at once
be loaded with some 1900 tons Of coal.
While in dock her sea valves were put in
good order and new zinc rings put in.
These rings absorb the force that destroys
steel or iron, where joined to copper or
brass. in the salt water.
The cruiser is expected to remain at the
island for some time to come. She is still
short of her complement of guns and men,
The high-pressure cylinders of the Alba
tross have been bored out, new piston rings
made and the machinery generally over
hauled and repaired. Her steam gig and
launch machinery has been repaired and
is now being put in place. Some work has
also been done to the coast-survey steamer
Patterson. The cruiser Boston is rapidly
approaching completion. She has one coat
of red lead over all her upper works.
The monitor Monadnock is nearly ready
for steam trial of her boilers and engines.
Still there is a great deal of work yet to be
done before she will be ready for sea.
In the steam engineering department
work on the new steam tug is being pushed
as rapidly as the receipt of material will
permit. The patterns Will all be completed
within the next two weeks. Many castings
are now out, and the low-pressure cylin-
ders will be cast on Wednesday next. The
engines designed for this tug are much
more elaborate than is usually put In tug
boats. All the modern refinements are in
cluded, and the cost will be proportion
ately high.
The monitor Monterey came up to the
yard Friday, and on Tuesday will go on the
dock to be scraped, painted and outboard
valves looked after. Captain T. j. Hig-
ginson will assume charge on that day, and
Captain Kempff will be given rest OF two
months.
Stores are being put on the Olympia as
fast as convenient. At the magazine her
ammunition is being made ready to put on
board as soon as she goes into the stream.
The Independence keeps looking bright
and clean. Captain Frank Wilds, her new
commander, has arrived and has assumed
command.
Captain A. S. Barker, who brought the
Philadelphia to this port will assume his
duty as captain of the yard during the COM
ing week.

wIPEHooD AND MOTHERHOOD.

Rev. a. G. Hirst Talked of the Need Of Chris
tianizing Woman.
As prelude to a discourse on woman
suffrage Rev. A. G. Hirst preached an elo-
ouent and instructive sermon at Simpson
Memorial Church last night on ''Wifehood
and Motherhood" 1t was the second in a
series of special sermons on Living Issues
and Practical Social Questions"
"Woman never had better friend," he
said, ethan the man of Nazareth. All that
womanhood has and all the possibilities of
motherhood are made emphatic and Sc
cure and definite because of the exhalta-
ton of the Womanly character of the
gospel of the son of God. This being true
the claim is imperative upon every wife
and mother to be a Christian.
-dispensation of Christ why woman has
reached an exhaltation hitherto unknown
in the worlds history. The first, that in
the organization of the Christian church
woman was recognized as a factor; second,
she was the most heroic of those who suf-
fered in the arena of the Coliseum; third,
because her relations to Christianity was
far-reaching, more so than ever IN the his
tory of the race"
After referring in terms of admiration to
some of the historical women characters
whose acts had influenced the nations and
made the world better for their living in it,
the preacher turned to the great accom-
plishments in the mechanical and fine
arts as exhibited to the world in the expo
sitions of the last few years-the creations
of both man and woman, and said that
many of those accomplishments are to be
compared with the immortal work of a
Christian mother upon human soul, the
life of which is Christ and the breath of
which is God. He compared the estimates
placed upon woman by the unchristian
nations with the estimates which Christ
and the Christian religion places upon her
and urged the necessity of the wife and
mother being deserving of that estimate.

Carefully Compiled Compendium of News
and Personal Mention Relating to the

Charitable Religious Societies.

The we'll known and accomplished
pulpit orator, Chaplain McCabe, will
occupy the pulpit of the Elm Park
church tomorrow. He is so well known
for his patriotic and philanthropic work
that any reference to his career is al
most needless. His presence, however,
tomorrow, will serve as a double at
traction. The old veterans of the city
who almost idoliZe the chaplain will be
proud of the opportunity of meeting
him once more. The reverend gentle
man is an old soldier, having enlisted
as chaplain in the one Hundred and
Twenty-siXth Ohio infantry in the fan
of 1862, and was captured on the battle
field Of Winchester and sent to Libby
prison. During his connection with
the Christian commission service he
raised larger sum of money than any
other living man.
During the war he was also appointed
agent Of the Church Extension society
of the Methodist Episcopal church, and
so powerful was his influence that
three churches a day were, on an aver
age, erected during his administration.
He now holds the important position
of secretary to the Foreign Missionary
society of the Methodist Episcopal
church, and is probably the most noted
parsonage as singer and orator in the
extensive denomination of Methodist
Episcopalians.
Rescue Mission Work.
Monday will herald the third ami
versary of the Rescue mission on
Franklin avenue. Several people inter-
ested in religious movements in the
city are mot aware of the comprehen-
sive work carried on at the rooms.
Since the opening Of the mission O
night has not passed but that the doors
have been opened and service con-
Quoted. To reduce the matter into fig
ures, Ito meetings have been held
with an attendance Of 10000. Free lodg-
ings have been furnished to 1903 desti-
tute and deserving persons, and over
5000 have received free meals.
During this period 406 persons have
professed conversion and have shown
by altered methods of living that they
appreciate the efforts of the mission.
This means that many homes have
been made happy, where poverty and
sin reigned, and that joy pervades
where misery had prevailed. 1t would
be impossible to estimate the real and
true value of the mission, and it pre-
sents strong claim upon the generos-
ity Of our citizens. A visit to the mis-
sion rooms during any evening, or on
Sunday afternoons at o'clock, would
emphasize the magnitude of the work.
Mrs. Franc II. Vail, as secretary, and
George Sanborn, as superintendent, de-
vote all their energies to insure the
success Of the work.

Substantial progress is recorded in
connection with the mission instituted
