WANT THE W|LMERD|NG,
DR.. T. A. Rottanzi Warmly Ad-
vocates the South Side
of the City.
He Says the School Should Be Placed
lin the Midst of ArtizanS'
Homes.

DR.. T. A. Rottanzi, the prominent leader
in South Side improvement, is enthusiastic
on the idea of locating the Wilmerding
School of Mechanical Arts in some central
part OF the Mission.
"To thoroughly conform to the wishes of
Wilmerdlng himself" said the doctor yes
terday, "the school should be located in
this City, and the only proper place for an
institution of this kind is in the midst of
artisans and those who intend to earn their
livelihood by mechanical workmanship.
almost the entire artisan population of
this City reside in the Mission, therefore
advocate that the school be placed in this
part OF town.
"The most favorable location in the
Mission, TO my mind, is in the vicinity of
Columbia Square. Several wealthy men
have large land holdings there which are
admirably suited for sites. 1t may be pos
sible that one of these owners would do
nate part of his property to be used as a
site for the school.
columbia Square is accessible by the
Bryant and Brannan street lines, the Fol-
som street and Harrison street lines in the
Mission proper. From the Western Addi-
ton by the Sutter and Larkin street line
and from the Potrero by the Fifth and
Bryant street line.
"Mayor Sutro is generous and public
spirited enough in offering to donate his
land, and his good example should be fol-
lowed by other wealthy citizens Still the
objects of the school and the desire of its
originator should be first considered"

THE MORNING STAR.
Her Successful Cruise Among the Bar
barian Islanders of the Far
Pacific Seas,

Among the arrivals here yesterday on
the steamer Australia from Honolulu was
Captain H. T. Garland of the missionary
ship Morning Star, which has for several
years been running between Honolulu and
the Marshall, Caroline and Gilbert islands.
The ship is owned by the American
Board of Foreign Missions. The board
has missionaries in all those islands.
About June l of each year the Morning
Star starts out from Honolulu laden with
provisions and other needed supplies and
with several religious teachers aboard
visits in succession various islands of the
aforesaid groups.
Often a resident missionary will have
jurisdiction over several islands, and in
such cases the Morning Star people, after
holding services with him and his people
awhile, catch him up and take him on to
one of his other islands.
Thus the missionary ship is the connect
ing link between the islands and atols.
She carries bibles, hymn books, song books,
tracts and the other auxiliaries necessary
in converting the heathen.
when the season is over she comes back
and stays till June again at Honolulu. 1t
is thus that Captain Garland is here. He
is on his way to Boston, the headquarters
of the Mission Board. All he does how
ever, is to manage the ship.
He says this has been successful years
work among the natives. He denies that
they are cannibals, and says they are tract
able and quite susceptible of being infiu
enced to a better life. The captain is at
the California.

against DR.. Foute among the late Mr..
Gibbs friends in the church, and that
ste ps were on foot to oust the rector.
Both gentlemen emphatically denied the
statements last night. "The church is
not divided" said G. H. Hook, ''and no
one but the Bishop has any right to re-
quest Mr. Foute's resignation. There are
absolutely no ritualistic practices at Grace
Church.
''Mr. Gibbs used to object to surpliced
choirs, but short time before his death
he requested the vestrymen to vote in
favor of having surpliced choir. We
had no professionals till after his death
and we shall not have cross on the altar
till his courtesy term of being church
warden has expired, but there is no dis
affection in the congregation on that ac-
count"
Members of the congregation speak in
high terms of the efficient work done by
the surpliced choir. They say that the
good singing has greatly frightened the
services. Most Episcopalians smile at
the idea of Grace Church being considered
"high," though two crosses and one car
ried in procession will be a distinct inno-
vation.
Miss Hutchinson's cross is memorial
to her mother.

CANADA AND THE EMPIRE.
Independence Now Has Few Partisans
in the Dominion.

There can be little doubt that the past
wear in Canadian affairs has witnessed the
final effacement of ideas which conflict
with British connection. Previously there
had been m uch discussion of opposing
theories as to the political future Of the
Dominion; and imperial federation inde-
nendence and annexation had partisans
who voiced the respective merits OF each
in the press and on the platform.
Now there is no such uncertainty ap-
parent. All shades of political opinion are
= unit in favor OF remaining within the
emnire. though it is no less certain that
the existing political status is not satisfac-
tory. This does not imply desire for in
dependence-at least ii would be difficult
to reconcile any such desire with the offer
of aid and willingness 10 share in sacri-

A PROGRESSIVE HOUSE.
What One OF the Leading Department.
Stores of This City Is Doing.

What One Of the Leading Department.
Stores of This City Is Doing.
4 city's progress can be gagged from its
readiness to take up and adapt modern
ideas in every line of its development.
One of the most modern and progressive
ideas in the retail trade in large cities is
what is known as department stores, and
in this particular feature San Francisco
furnishes a striking illustration in The
Maze. It was established about three
years ago by the Hamburger Company,
and it has been eminently successful from
its inception. 1t is a mecca for the ladies
of this City in their shopping tours, for
within its walls can be found in system
atically arranged departments nearly
everything used for domestic purposes.
At this season of the year it is natural
for the attention of the ladies visiting the
Maze to be attracted more especially
toward the dress goods, cloak and millin-
cry departments, as they offer induce
ments that are particularly alluring. In
the latter department a complete change
has been made this spring, and it is now
in charge of Mrs. Martin. She quoted
prices yesterday in an interview that are
unusually low. Large hats trimmed in
feathers are being sold for $40 each, and
turbans at S.. They have fine stock of
imported French pattern hats, and all
their goods are as fine as any in the mar
ket. The showing made OF Easter bon

WILL HAVE TWO CROSSES
Grace Episcopal Church Is to
Receive Gifts On Easter
Day.
A HIGH CHURCH DEPARTURE
Miss Hutchinson Gives a Memorial
and Miss Croker a Process
Sional Cross.

Grace Episcopal Church is to be adorned
on Easter Sunday by two beautiful new
crosses, one professional cross, the gift
of Mrs. Will Crocker, and the other 8
| memorial cross, for the altar, which Miss
Kate Hutchinson is presenting to the
| church.
During the lifetime of George w. Gibbs
who was liberal and enthusiastic sup
| porter OF Grace Church, no crosses were
| used on the altar or in the service, out oil
Difference to his desire to avoid this form
o ofsymDolism.
George w. Gibbs was senior warden,
and, though he died before his term OF
Office was fulfilled, his name still remains
by courtesy in the place of senior warden
till Easter day, when the year for which
he was appointed will have expired.
Miss Kate Hutchinson ordered her beau
tiful cross some months ago, before sh e
was aware of what b cen the senior warden S
wishes in the matter, but when it was ex-
planned that George W. Gibbs had OBJ
iected to the symbolism of crosses Miss
Hutchinson readily consented to the de-
sire expressed by Rev. DR.. Foute that out
OF Difference to Mr.. Gibbs memory ne
cross should be placed on the altar during
senior warden.
On Easter Sunday, however, the cross
will be placed on the altar and DR.. Foute
will read the benediction to dedicate it.
Miss Hutchinson's gift is considered one
of the most beautiful crosses in the City.
| 1t was especially made for Grace Church
| by Geissler of New York, and is in beau
| tiful style of workmanship. The cross is
| forty-four inches high and is made of solid
brass IT stands on three. steps, and is
severely Latin in outline.
In silhouette it is entirely devoid oi
ornamentation, but at the intersection OF
the arms with the upright in wrought
wreath, which encircles raised relief OF
the Lamb of God.
| 1t was the donors intention to have the
cross quietly placed on the altar on Easter
a few people were let into the secret, and
coming public property.
Mrs. Will Crocker's cross has not yet ar
rived from New York. though it is ex-
pected to be here in time for use on Easter
day. The cross is said to be very hand
some one, and it twill be carried in the pro-
| cession with the surpliced choir.
| A sensational story was published by an
| evening paper last night to the effect that
George w. Gibbs had strenuously objected
| to DIR. Foutes ritualistic tendencies, and
that among other innovations he had
strongly objected to the surpliced choir.
The superintendent of the. Sunday

Hook were quoted as authorities for the
statement that there was strong animus

tives and friends OF the happy pair were
present to pay their respects. There were

Mr.. and Mrs. Burgess were united at

ceremony of the Friends was used In the
earlier az well as the latter service.
Mr.. Burgess was the founder OF Greer
wood Seminary at Millville, Pa, and con-
Quoted that institution for fifteen years.
Later he occupied the position of Superin-
tendent ,.f Schools in his county. He was
a newspaper man in this State two decades
ago and founded the National City Record
in 1882.
He saw honorable service during the
late war, and is member of Lincoln Post,
G. A. R., and one of the department coun-
ell of administration. He was Indian
Agent for the Pawnees for five years, and
removed that tribe from Nebraska to the
Indian Territory in 1875. Mrs. Burgess
has been an active worker on humanita-

woman.
Perhaps none of the numerous tokens OF
remembrance from friends afar was more
appreciated than that from forty five pm
