at st. Agnes Church, which is neat little
edifice on Masonic street, near Page, at the
high mass yesterday morning. The church
was built as an outside mission to the
Sacred Heart parish, and was under the
jurisdiction of Rev. Father Flood.
Father Kirby is young man of zeal and
talent. He was born at Listowel, County
Kerry. Ireland, on April 16, 1862 His
early education was gained at Mount
Melleray and at All Hallows. Later he
attended the seminary of st. Sulpice in
Paris. On the 18th of March, 1888, he was
ordained by Bishop Higgins of Kerry, Ire
land. He came to San Francisco in the
spring of 1885, His first appointment was
as chaplain of st. Mary's College, from
where he was transferred to Father Kings
church in Oakland. Later he served two
years as assistant to Father Serda at Tenn
escal. On September 2, 1885, he was ap-
pointed as assistant at the cathedral,
where he has since resided. OF his family
brother is a priest, Rev. Thomas Kirby,
at Mission Dolores, and two sisters are
members of the Presentation Order, Sister
Augustine in Berkeley, and Sister de Sales
in the Powell-stTeet convent, this city.
FatherWyman has long been Paulist mis-
sionary and is well known throughout the
United States. He prefers missionary work
to the cares and responsibility of parish
and looks forward to the appointment of a
permanent superior to succeed him that
he may go into the country and preach.
eve have received requests for mis-
sionaries from different parishes all over
the coast" he said yesterday, land we are
anxious to comply. Missionary work is
the object of the order, and for myself
much prefer that field. If we had the
priests we could send them north to Wash
ington and south to Arizona. Besides, Cal
ifornia and Nevada must be looked after. "
The work of remodeling old St. Mary
Church will begin this week. The interior
is to be handsomely painted and frescoed,
and the idea of the PauEsts is to make the
historic tabernacle one of the most beauti-
full in the city.

THE MISSING LINK.
[Sketched for the "Cdu" by Coulter. ]

chest and receiver, and a consequent saw
ing in fuel space and weight.
J. L. Bonner, master mechanic of the
San Francisco and North Pacific Railroad
Company, has solved the problem, and his
launch 1.-The Missing Link" is practical
illustration of the fact. The launch is one
of the whaleboats of the old steam whaler
0rca. 1t has not been altered in any way
except to take out a thwart in order to
make room for the engine, and to bore a
hole in the stern to allow working room
for the propeller shaft. That the expert
ment is a success is proven by the fact that
with 200 pounds of coal on board and
twenty-five passengers, the Missing Link
can average ten knots an hour for forty
eight consecutive hours. On run of one
or two hours and with the steam kept at
pressure of $50 pounds, she can easily make
thirteen knots an hour, and is consequent
~ by far the fastest launch in the bay.
The Missing Link is thirty feet long and
six feet beam. In the Custom-house she
is registered three tons net, and is conse-
Quently the smallest steam vessel that has
ever received a license from Uncle Sam.
Her engines weigh exactly ninety-six
pounds, and Engineer Bonner's son car
ried them from the machine shops to the
whaleboat on his back. The boiler is
about half the size of an ordinary cooking
stove and at first glance it seems ridieu-
Ious that steam sufficient to drive thirty
foot boat thirteen knots an hour could be
generated in such small space. The fact
is that every ounce of steam is used as it
is made, and it only costs 10 cents an hour
to run her. 1t would be almost impossible
to burst the boiler, as it has stood a press
ure of 1900 pounds to the square inch.
The engines and boilers were built by
Messrs. J. l.. Bonner and G. G. Ny during
their spare moments. In talking about
the matter yesterday Master Mechanic Bon
ner said: my idea was to get something
fast, machinery that was almost noise
less and great saving in space and weight.
In order to do this l had to construct a
compound engine with valve that would
work the steam over twice, thus saving a
steamehest and a receiver.
There is only one valve in the launch in
stead of two, so therefore she is called the
Missing Link. Anyone who can keep
steam up and water in the boiler can run
one of these boats as the Missing Link is
practically automatic. With seventeen gal
Ions of water in her tank and 200 pounds of
coal in her bunkers she will run for forty
eight hours and cover 500 miles. All her
machinery is of the simplest kind, and her
engines could be duplicated in twenty-four
hours on a lathe. The appliance is much
cheaper than a gasoline engine, much
safer, and far greater speed can be OBJ
tanned. The engine and boiler would be
particularly useful in lifeboats on ships
and also in whaleboats. A lifeboat with
machinery in her similar to the Missing
Link could tow half a dozen RATS and
other ships boats for days, while on a
whaler it would be indispensable in towing
whales to the ship and boats back after an
unsuccessful hunt"

held up to the view of the class good sized
onion and a silver-plated knife. Then as
she used the knife to slice off the top of
the onion and pealed part of the piece re-
that an apple is pared, she said, "the chef
did as am doing, after which he remarked
to the curious lady who had purchased the
secret, Madame, you take your silver knife
so, and make number of slices very close
together, then turn the onion in your hand
and make some more slices so that they
cross the others and after that you cut off
the sliced onion and put one little tea
it to the table, that is what gives it the good
taste you so admire That was the end of
the lesson that cost her $5."

THAT THEATRICAL ROW,
Both Mr.. Harley and Mr..

Blamed.
Delicate Points of Professional Ell

Most of the principals and all of the
chorus in the casts of both Robinson
Crusoe" and the Fencing Master" were
busy yesterday talking about the row be-
tween Manager Charles Krause of the
Tivoli Theater and Manager John f. Har-
ley of the Whitney Opera Company, which
was producing the Fencing Master" at
the Baldwin Theater last week.
Both Mr.. Krause and Mr.. Harley were
seen yesterday evening, and at the point
where physical violence is alleged to have
entered the theme of discussion the two
stories diverge.
Mr.. Harley said: II am very sorry the
thing occurred, and to a great extent
blame myself for losing my temper and
being hasty. The facts, however, are these

over the city yesterday an immense crowd
of people assem- bled in the park The
three points of attraction were the music
by Scheels concert band, the museum and
the beautiful flowers in the conservatory.
The people who crowded the space in front
of the bandstand were charmed with the
splendid rendition of the several numbers,
but many asked why there was not little
more of popular music, the kind that all
understand and which enthuses, and many
also wondered why the Saturday afternoon
concerts had been discontinued. They
were, it was ascertained on inquiry, aban-
doned by order of Mr.. Vinlng OF the rail-
road combine. This was move in favor
of retrenchmeht, and as a result the many
who would go to the park on Saturday and
do not care to visit it on Sunday lose the
music, and the railroad combine loses
many fares.
The museum was crowded all day, and
while the people wandered from room to
room it was noticed that the one in which the
greatest number fingered was the one con-
tanning ancient armors and weapons. Since
the larceny from one of the cases of valu-
able medals the guards have been unusu-
ally vigilant.
The ever-attractive conservatory is at
present filled with most beautiful flowers
Of every hue. Among the most prominent
and attractive are tri-colored bell orchids
from Java, Gloxinias OF many shades that
cause every woman who sees them to say
'How beautiful Cypripedium from
Borneo, very pretty flower that looks like
a miniature pitcher plant, a beautiful col
lection of Gladys slipper" that is said to
be the finest that has ever been exhibited,
and azaleas, red pink and white.
During the afternoon two women APP
peared on the main drive and attracted a
great deal of attention. One attired in a
neat close-ftting riding habit, and wearing
plug hat' that rested on wavy golden
brown hair, rode astride on bay COB and
her companion, who also wore neat riding
habit, rode a side saddle, also on a bay
cob.
The two styles Of riding, as witnessed
side by side, drew forth much comment,
particularly from the fair sex. The ma
jority seemed to be of the opinion that the
man-fashion style of riding appeared to be
| the most comfortable, and the style of
dress was no more Objectionable than the
ordinary riding habit.
A number of young dudes assembled to
| the north of the band stand and between
numbers made themselves very annoying
by ''guying" persons around them. Cap
tain Thomson detailed one of his men to
make the dudes behave, but they needed
not his warnings. The Captain then
caught the most persistent one in the
crowd and persuaded" him that it would
be better for him and his crowd to remain
quiet. The persuasion proved salutary
one and the annoyance ceased.

1t takes the form of a clogging brake,
which is under the direct control of the
motorman. The accompanying illustra-
tration shows the arrangement of the brake
when it is down and clogging the wheels.
One of the brakes is attached to each rear
wheel of the car and when not in use it is
raised above the ground. The clog brakes
do not interfere in any way with the usual
brake attachments.
When the motorman wants to clog the
car he moves the lever and throws the
brakes down under the rear wheels in the
position as shown. The lower part of the
clog is corrugated and fits the track so it
will not slide. AS operated by model

structs the Children.
Archbishop Riordan held two confrma-
ton services yesterday. The first was at
st. Peters Church, of which Rev. Father
Casey is pastor, at the corner of Twenty
fourth and Columbia streets. There was
large class of boys and girls up to have
their faith in the Christian doctrine con-
firmed.
The girls were beautifully dressed in
white with long, flowing wells, while the
boys wore white ribbons on their coats.
The parents and friends of the children
were present in large numbers and the
scene was brilliant one.
The Archbishop explained the doctrine
confirmation and dwelt at length on the
glories of Christian faith. He showed
how necessary it was to begin with the
young and train them in the virtues of
life that they may grow up good and use
full citizens.
In the afternoon the Archbishop con-

FIRST A PRAYER FOR RAIN
Then Torrents Of Rain, Fol-
~ lowed by Singing Of the

AND THEN FALL OF THE ROOF
Many Persons Seriously In
otjured--One of Them Will
Probably Die.

FIT. WORTH, Tex, April 21.-All
of Texas has needed rain, so the
great evangelist, Dwight Moody,
called upon his audience of 5000
Christians to pray fervently that
the flood gates might be opened.
This was at p. m. today. Tonight
when the tabernacle vas crowded
by 10000 people from FIT. Worth
and surrounding cities, Mr.. Moody
announced that word had come from
several points that rain had fallen
A few minutes later the storm burst
on Fit. Worth, and torrents of rain
fell. Then Mr.. Moody gave thanks
to God, and called upon the congre-
cation to join in singing Corona
ton" and "All, hail the power of
Jesus name, let angels PROSTATE
fall" The song surged forth from
10000 voices, when a cracking noise
was heard, and then the roof sank
and the rafters gave way, and the
heavy timbers and boards, covered
with tar and gravel, came down on
portion of the congregation There
was a panic. Scores upon scores of
women tainted. Some men lost
their heads, and piled pell nell
over those near them. Mr.. Moody
grasped the situation, and, moving
to the middle of the platform, lifted
both hands to heaven, moving his
arms slowly to and fro. His atti-
tude and GOODNESS stopped the panic,
and men began to go to work to res
cue those in danger. A drenching
rain was falling, but they worked
hard, and the wounded were soon
taken out and carried to their
homes or to the houses near by.

meets in September, and try to get off
with as light sentence as possible.
Frank Lee, the other prisoner, is of a.
different type, and one who also in
dulges in whisky. He is fairly well
built and ordinarily well dressed, with
dark hair and mustache, sprinkled
with gray. His wife is in a delicate
condition, and it is feared that the
shock of her husbands disgrace will
prove serious. Lee appears to be abols
forty years old, and is a man easily
led. He has at times tried to earn an
honest living, but Crowley's method
of making money was so mueA
easier that. Lee left an honest life.
After his arrest. and discharge in st.
Paul year and a half ago, he lived
apparently straight for few months,
but soon went wrong again.
Lee denied emphatically that he
knew anything at all about the couna
terfe1t money, or was engaged IN
the manufacture of such, and that
was all that could be gotten out of
him; his stolid Indifference, and set
face resenting all attempts at talking,
when the inspectors first arrested him.
He persisted in this until about $3.50
yesterday morning, when the inspec-
tors came to the Central lookup, after
having secured the plant AT this
last time the two inspectors walked
into the cell room, where Lee was
wide awake. Again he denied every
thing.

and told of how the wife had taken
the matter, and it's effect upon her.
Lee saw the paper and was con-
WINGED. He sat down on the bunk and;
burying his face in his hands, burst
into tears.
After this scene Lee told his story
and the details of the whole affair
came out. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Lee came down to the Central station
to see her husband and then ensued
touching scene seldom witnessed in
the old lookup. With tears in her
eyes the. wife told of what she had
done, and begged her husband, whom
she was allowed to see privately
through the kindness of Supt. Smith,
to tell the whole story; to tell every
thing for her sake and the sake Of
their children.

SHIFTING THE MILITARY.

WASHINGTON, April A.-secretary
Lamont has ordered four troops of the,
First cavalry selected by the regfz'
ment commander and accompanied 6yi
Col. Arnold and Maj. Viele, now at
Fort Grant, 1. T., to exchange places
with the four troops of the Seventh
cavalry, accompanied by Col. Sumner
and Maj. Baldwin, now stationed at
Fort Riley, Kan. The exchange is to
be effected as soon as possible. The
reason assigned is to give the cavalry
a chance to avail itself of the advant-
ages of the cavalry school at Fort
Riley. Lieut.. Col Carpenter, of the
Seventh, will remain at Fort Riley as
cavalry instructor
