THR0ATs WERE BLESSED.
How ithe Catholic Feast of st. Blaise Was
Observed


Many thousands of Threats were blessed
in st. Ignatius, st. Roses, st. Joseph's,
Holy Cross and some other Catholic
churches of this city yesterday afternoon
The blessing was performed by priests at
the altar rails.
Because yesterday was the feast of st.
Blaise, who is regarded as the patron of
those who suffer from sore Threats, the
custom of asking his intercession for per-
sons receiving the blessing was observed.
St. Blaise was a Bishop of an Armenian
city during the period of persecution of
Emperor Dioclesian. In his life, it is stated,
he was thrown into prison, where the poor
and the sick crowded to see him. A boy
who had swallowed bone, that stuck in
his throat and could not be removed by
physicians, presented himself before the
saint and was cured. Ever after St. Blaise
has been regarded as the patron of persons
afflicted with diseases of the throat.
In the ceremony of blessing as per-
formed yesterday two lighted candles
melted into each other, and forming a
cross, are held under the chins and against
the Threats of persons seeking the
patronage of st. Blaise. At st. Ignatius
Church on Hayes street the number of
those who knelt for the blessing was
extraordinarily large.
A relic of the saint was exposed in a
beautiful shrine at Holy Gross Church for
the veneration of visitors during the
afternoon hours.

THE UNJUST STEWARD.
Discourse on Parable by the Rev. h. R,
HaReis,

Discourse on Farable Dy the Rev, d, h,
Haweis,
1.-The Unjust Steward" was the subject
of Rev. H. R. Haweis' sermon in Trinity
Episcopal Church last night. There was
very large audience, fully 300 people being
turned away for lack of seating capacity.
"Christ spoke in parallels" said the
speaker, because this method appealed
directly to the comprehensiveness of all
classes of people, the educated and the il
literate alike. The morals that the Savior
pointed out were remembered, because of
the story and its immediate application to
daily life He took his text from the Incl
dents of the street and the daily routines
of the peoples lives.
1.-The parable of the unjust steward is an
example. 1t is as applicable to this cen
fury as it was to the first. There are many
rich men in public positions in San Fran
cisco. Among these are many who can
properly be classed as unjust stewards.
THE steward of whom Christ spoke was
suspected of dishonest methods long be-
fore he was accused. A man of pTomi-
nence and power may go on doing wrong
for long time Then, without any warn
ing, a little incident will suddenly lead to
his exposure and disgrace"
The speaker then referred to the work of
mining under the great rock at Hell Gate,
i'm New York harbor ''This great work,
he said, ''went on for long time, and was
not visible to the masses of the people. But
all of a sudden the great excavation was
blown up, and the world knew that some
thing terrible had happened. Right here
in San Francisco there are rich and power
full men whose characters and moral ma
lures are completely undermined. Some
day-for it is only question of time-they
will blow up, and ali their inner natures
will be exposed to the world.
1.-THE unjust steward in the parable had
some merits. He did not cheat his master
more than was necessary for his selfish
purposes. His thievery was hidden under
! sepoblance of righteousness, in the same
manner as is the evil-doing of some of the
most trusted and respected men IN this
cor nrnitv at the present time

ST. PAUL'S PHILOSOPHY.
Bishop Nichols Theme at st. PauI's
Episcopal Church.

Bishop Nichols Theme at st. PauI's
Episcopal Church.
The sermon at ST. Paul's Episcopal
Church ON California street was preached
yesterday evening by the Bishop, Right
Rev. w. f. Nichols. His text was, "If any
man be in Christ he is new creature"
st. Paul, the Bishop said, had made
new analysis of what man is; discovered
what might be called new part of his ter
ritory Aristotle and Plutarch had an
parts, the immaterial and the material, or
the soul and the body But ST. Paul had
opened up a new field; something that had
not been discovered by the keen analyses
of these Greek philosophers. He had
shown that there was higher immaterial
part of man called spirit, which makes him
lift himself up into something higher and
better.
The preacher explained that a man be-
ing in Christ and having his nature lifted
up toward the things of the spirit becomes
creature fraught with new interest as
interesting to analyze as some new flower
would be to the botanist. Not only will
the body be made to live again, "but,"
said the Bishop, "we might take st. PauIs
teaching and show how the mind can be
transformed and can grasp things which
are now dark to us; can know of peace
which passeth mans understanding. We
shall not see this transformation properly,
however, until our mortality has put on
immortality"
As it was the first time Bishop Nichols
had preached at st. Paufs since the APP
pointment of the new rector, Rev. w. w.
Reilly, the service concluded with the
prayer from the rubric asking for bless
ing upon the new incumbent's work.

MORAL ATHLETICS.
Professor Martin Talks to the Young Men of
the Y. NJ. @, A.

the Y. NJ. @. A.
The subject of "Moral Athletics in
which was shown the necessity for con-
tinual practice of the moral rules that
form the active or athletic principles of
uprightness of character, was presented to
the young men In the Young Mems Chris
tian Association lecture hall by Professor
William Martin yesterday afternoon. The
lecture was the first of the series for
February, and dealt with the practical
side of Christian life.
Professor Martin said there was as great
need of moral as of physical athletics.
The inactive physical athlete soon loses his
strength. So the Christian or moral young
man who is not athletic in a spiritual
sense, who neglects to practice good acts,
who fails to keep himself alive to moral
obligations, is weakened in moral strength,
At the close of his address Secretary Nc
Coy made short talk in a similar vein,
giving some practical illustrations of the
usefulness of an active, athletic Christian.
You cannot deny facts, and it is fact. that Sal.

WATER FRONT LEAOWED.
Colonel Chadbourne Goes for the
StreetsWeepers.
No More Nice, Soft Political Jobs for the
Employees Of the HarbOr Com.
miSSiOnerS.

There has been a hurrying to and fro on
the water front of late and the aroused
wharf sweeper, chasing the dirt with flying
broom, has marked an epoch in the history
of that locality.
Commissioner F. s. Chadbourne did it.
He quietly drifted down among the docks
and his coming first caused CONSERVATION,
then revolution. Wharf and street clean
ers stood at gaze, for never before had a
Harbor Commissioner been seen of them.
The spell was soon broken by the Colonel's
calling all hands to muster. He told them
that the day of soft political berths had
gone by and a big change was coming
down upon them. There would be no
soldering among the employees of
of the Harbor Commissioners hereafter.
"Now, am going to Lexow this street."
said he. $50 off with your coats"
Then the work began, and no such work
was ever seen on the water front before.
Laborers who had never bent broom han
die rushed here and there, leaving clean
spaces behind them. Street rubbish that
had lain in one place from time immemo-
rial disappeared like magic. The paving
stones were unearthed and the busy broom
swept them clean.
The energetic influence spread and other
work was affected. The piledrivers send
ing the great stakes into the bottom of the
bay never pounded so industriously, and
it is reported that the heavy iron hammers
were hot from the unusual driving.
Brooms were worn down to stubs and
shovel handles were strained by hard
usage.
When the work was finished Colonel
Chadbourne admonished his laborers that
the next time he came down to superin-
tend them at their regular tasks there
would be number of vacancies in that
sweeping force for the Harbor Commits
sioners to fill. Then he went back to his
Office and that is how cleanliness came to
the water front.

The work of the missionaries was ex-
ceedingly difficult as the heather ma
tives tried to discourage it, but were
unsuccessful.
In 1857 young man left his home in
England and came TO Alaska, where in
eight months, after hard study he
learned the language of the natives.
He at once set to work to preach the
gospel, securing fifty converts in three
years, among them being my father
At three different times this young
mans life was threatened by traitors
Twenty years later 1900 Christians
were reported in Alaska After re-
ligiOn and education were thoroughly
introduced the natives who lived near
Metropata, where saimons are canned,
erected a church which had a seating
capacity of 1000 people. After the ma
tives learned the value of Christianity
they were proud that they were con-
verted.
In 1880 when Alaska had 5000 con-
verted Christians we changed the en-
tire mode of government abolishing
the old style and taking up an entirely
new one. We were then self-support-
ing. During this year we suffered
great hardships. I, myself, am a steam
boat engineer and could earn a salary
of $1,000 per year, but l thought a
greater calling awaited me. After be-
ing at sea for three years was Smbi-
tious to serve the gospel. In 1888 I
went to Sitka where l began to speak
the English language and endeavor to
serve my country. After being at
Sitka for three years l left for Ohio,
where in 1891 J commenced to study.
Where I hail from we have a church
which is self-suppOrting, paying its
minister, physician and teachers regu-
larly. We receive $3.50 annually from
the United States government, which
is very generous. We pay 100000 in
taxes 20 The United States government
as taxes from furs and2eais.
In 1898 the great fire took place Fifty
houses were destroyed, but since then
everybody is comfortably situated It
sometimes takes two weeks to learn
the news from different parts of the
country, as we have none of the mod
ern improvements. The gospel has
done remarkably good work. I have
seen heathenism. but would not return
TO it at any prsce. I will go back to
my country and endeavor to Christian
ize the natives. The only solution is
to at first Christianize them, to reach
their hearts; then educate them, to
reach their minds. When once intro
duced into civilization they will stay.
At the conclusion of the lecture an
offering for foreign missions was taken

ton of numerous friends. Mr.. GaylOr's
peculiar talent has never had a proper
background. Farce-comedy at the best

number of theatre goers.
Many new and original scenes will be
offered for public inspection in this new
piece; one showing an exciting session
of the Board of Aldermen of New York
City. with big scheme under consider
alton, which Tammany Hall is endeav-
oring to push through by the aid of
