PLANS FOR THE ARMORY.
Suggestions for Alterations in the
Building on Market


The trouble which has arisen in the new
San Francisco regiment over the choice OF
an armory for the surviving companies OF
the former regiments gives promise OF
early settlement, and there is considerable
likelihood that the companies, exclusive
of the Nationals" may be domiciled in
the building on the corner OF Market and
Tenth streets.
Captain George FIlmer, the commanding
officer of Company B, has submitted to
Colonel Macdonald plan of this armory,
with suggestions for extensive alterations,
which, if acted upon, would make the
place large enough for the entire COM
mand.
The building was formerly the home of
the old First Infantry and was erected for
regimental quarters originally. All of the
COMPANY rooms are sufficiently large for
ordinary purposes, and are well arranged
on the two floors along the Market-street
front of the structure.
Captain Filmer's principal suggestion as
to alterations is that an additional drill
floor be built directly over the one now
used and about on line with the present
galleries. The great height of the ceiling
would easily permit of such an arrange
ment, and if the plan be adopted the COM
panies located in rooms on the upper floor
will have an immense drill hall, spreading
from side to side of the building and from
the rear wall right to the entrance to their
quarters. The companies below will then
have exclusive use of the present hall.

Mary's Church at the request of Arch,
bishop Riordan a little more than veal
ago. They are al American priests, and
are imbued with the idea of converting the
whole American people to the Catholic in.
terpretation of Christianity. The founder
of the community was reared in the Prot
estant faith, the faith of his fathers fol
generations back.
In the course of time other Protestants
ministers of high rank in the church, lay
men, men with professions, men of wealth
all went over TO Rome and began an intel
lectual crusade against the beliefs which
they left behind. Thus the society has
grown TO be quite power in the American
Catholic church. The members are men
OF deep learning, men OF ideas. broad
minded, brilliant, progressive. They are
banded together for common purpose
and work for a common end.
The Paulists have two houses in the
United States-one IN San Francisco and
the other in New York. Their success
here has been sudden. substantial. lasting.
rather y Ryan preached his first SER
mon in San Francisco at st. Mary's
Church Yesterday. He is quite pleasing
talker. He was educated at the Catholic
University at Washington. D. g., and is
one OF the promising young men of the
priesthood In California. Father Organ,
besides pelng an orator, is an easy and
graceful writer. His discourse yesterday
was on the Conversion of st. Paul"
In his opening sentences the preacher
spoke OF the splendid results that attended
the conversion of st. Paul to Christianity.
He reviewed his farreaching influence on
the civilization of the world; his mission
airy labors; the priceless literature he left
to mankind; how he became rabbi. SAID
the speaker:
The one great aim of.st. Paul was to lead the
gentle world into the church. But his heart
was rent because of the obstinaey of the seed
of Abr aham-now he is the David OF that race
in his paternal care and the Jeremias in his
lamentations. Every great city in the East he
Visited-Anuoch, Ephesus, Athens, Corinth-
until divine destiny led him to Rome where
he consummated his life sacrifice Being a
Roman citizen he was accorded the privilege
If privilege ii could be called, of dying BY
the sword.
His conversion was thorough and so
thorough that the remainder OF his life was
entirely devoted to the work of Christ. In
Paul we see the real power OF Christianity
and of divine grace. His natural good quail
tics remained, but they were elevated en-
nobled, sanctifed. He lived but for one object
and for that he died. There was no barking
back; no donbt on his mind. He WAS Chris
tian out and out. How different was that life
from ours who have been brought up in the
truth.
But for those outside our church there are
wonderful lessons to be learned. While ST.
Paul was still an enemy of the church he was
led by blind fanaticism. He never took time

from recent indisposition the plan of hold
ing the sessions of the committee at Ply-
mouth Church has been changed and the
pastors study, or office, at the First Con-
gregational Church will be the scene of
the investigation. Plymouth Church is

the offer of the use of that church was
made by its courteous pastor in considera-
ton OF the i'll health of the man on trial.

suits its own convenience in returning to

the sessions will be at the First Church.
Professor Lloyd conducted services at
the ill-starred church at the corner of Post
and Mason streets yesterday afternoon and
evening. No member of the Brown family
was present at either of the services.
DR.. Brown will make his statement of
the case this evening, and, whether il i'm

Will be followed by a motion to refer the
matter to the First Church, with the adj

latter consideration only the First Church
could take cogniZance.
Rev. DR., w. D. Williams is known to be
IN possession of information which will
be valuable in the case, which was fur
nlshed him presumably by DR.. Brown and
is as yet sealed book to other members
OF the committee of investigation. What
this is he refuses to say but acknowledges
that 1t Is of such nature as to brighten

Concerning DR.. Browns probable exon

said: II am aware that mass of the peo-

will never believe him innocent. 1t is of
that order OF humanity that reloices in
seeing the strong fall, even if it be John L.
Sullivan. There is another element that
can be convinced.

The rain spoiled everything, so the boys

to consider. He went on his way and never
took time to consider what motives animated
the youthful Stephen. Paul never imagined
that the law of which he was such stanch
supporter had passed away: he never dreamed
where the full truth lay. And so though hon
est and sincere he prosecuted that which he
knew nothing about. His errors were the
errors OF a misguided intellect So, too are
there many people who think harshly about
the Catholic Church without knowing what
she teaches. There are many people, honest
minded who would shuader at the idea of be-
coming Catholics, and yet would not wiilfully
offend God. Remember that Saul abhorred the
very name of Christ because he did not know
what 1t meant.
But when divine revelation taught him the
full truth see how eagerly he embraced it. He
needed but light He had but to know the
truth and the ruth and light revolutionized
his career. He was no longer the fierce perse-
cutor; he became the apostle whose heart
burned with the desire of preaching that
truth, because he knew by his own experience
that We're 1t only known millions would be
won by it.
Examples of st. Paul are numerous in every
age, put IN modern times and in our own coun-
try there is no more glorious example than the

but the truth and the whole truth, began to
study the doctrines of the Catholic church.
Ana when the truth possessed in full by the old
church burst on him he followed the example
OF ST. Paul and Immediately embracedit. Like
St Paul, he lived for nothing but the truth.
He saw the need of spreading it, of teaching
t9e outside world. He saw the field ripe for
the harvest. He had greater missionary field
open before him than ST. Paul himself

race which had the promises, but had madly
