THE PARADE.
Congress street was well lined with
spectators when Chief Marshal w. W..
Kemp gave the word to march at 8. 10
O'Clock. He had sent circulars to all who
intended to appear in the procession in
forming them that the route would be
taken up at g. 80 a. II. sharp. Expected
delegations however did not put in an
appearance. It was decided to march up
Congress, through High and Deering
streets to State, and there await the
laggards. The band struck up and the
procession moved in the following order

Minister'S Discourse Cut Short in Glow
ing Passage.

Minister'S Discourse Cut Short in "a Glow
ing Passage.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The Rev. Edwards Davis, the poet
preacher of Oakland, delivered sermons
yesterday morning and evening at Ham
ilton Hall, and on both occasions suffered
interruption from an odd source. In the
morning he was in the midst of one of
his most beautiful word poems and
thoroughly in touch with his subject,
when he was interrupted by the faintest
possible cat-call.
The young preacher paused moment,
amazed He continued, when again the
"meaow" interrupted him. This time
it was a little louder. The audience
heard it and smile passed over the faces
of those nearest the platform.
The preacher turned red in the face,
paused moment and looked about, then
continued in an altered tone. He is an
extemporaneous speaker and had lost
the thread of his story. He struggled on,
however, and finished up his sermon, but
not before a third wailing meaow" was
heard from somewhere about the pulpit.
A thorough search was made, but no feline
was unearthed, and no small boy was
anywhere near.
In the evening Mr. Davis had for his
subject "Denonlinational Differences,
his net theme The Hamilton hall min
lister has not been looked upon with favor
by his straight-laced and orthodox breth-
rem, and he sought to explain some things
which he does not see through their

The audience was quickly dismissed
and the janitor was called, and'the young
preacher, as angry as young preacher
can possibly get, set ur a thorough search
for the cat. The two looked in every nook
and corner, and, while looking, another
vail came from the direction Of the big
organ. The searchers turned their atten-
ton in that direction, and close search
revealed month-old kitten ensconsed
behind the pipes. Preacher Davis took the
starveling to his home and now counts it
among his pets.
