Sacrificed All Worldly Interests
for the Sake of the
Church.
PRIEST TO THE PORTUGUESE.
Thousands of Loving Practitioners
Wept Around the Bier in His
Late Church.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALL
qO8 Broadway. June %.

st. Joseph's Church on Chestnut street
was crowded this morning with sorrowful
spectators. They had gathered to pay
their final tribute of respect and affection
to the remains and memory of the late
Rev. Father Fernandez.
AS the venerable Father King officiated
at the solemn requiem high mass people
were sobbing in al parts of the church.
The assistants at the mass were Rev.
Fathers Pimental and Governo. Arch
bishop Riordan was present and pro-
nounced the final blessing. The casket
was a rich one of black cloth relieved with
silver plates and it was covered with floral
offerings from the many members of the
church who had been suddenly bereft OF
their beloved pastor.
Rev. Father Gloria preached the obitu-
airy sermon in the Portuguese language.
The speaker referred to the sacrifice made
by the late priest when riches were
his, and how he had given all to charity
and his life to labor for humanity. Father
Fernandez was born in Portugal, forty -six
wears ago, and at the age Of IA went to
Brazil. After remaining there for six
wears he came to California. At first he
L.
He succeeded at the mines, but felt that
he was called to the priesthood, and, with
out counting the cost, he made the sac
ritice. While mining he donated consid-
cradle money to the Church of the
Immaculate Conception at Watlsinsville,
Siskiyou County, which he built almost
alone.
When he decided to study for the priest
hood he went back to Portugal and entered
at once on the work. He was so diligent
that in two years he was back in California
and was ordained in San Francisco He
went to Honolulu and also to China, and
some years ago he was placed in charge Of
the Portuguese congregation in West Oak
land. He at once set to work to build a
church and organize a parish. About five
years ago the handsome church was built
from which he was buried to-day. Tie
priests dying wish was that he might live
till he had seen all the debt on his church
paia off.
Many priests were present at the church,
including the Revs. Logan, Coyle, Gran
well, Burn, Serda, Seaman, Gull, Butter,
Slavin, Hessler, Phillips, Laguna, O'Reilly,
De Campos, Byrne, McNaIly and Alfred.
The interment was at st. Mary's Gene
terry. The Portuguese Benevolent Society
acted as escort to the remains, and there
was great crowd at the cemetery to wit
ness the final ceremony.
The services were conducted at the en-
trance to the receiving vault, and the two
draped flags that were crossed over the en-
trance added much to the solemn effect OF
the scene.

HOME PRODUCTS.
The Exposition Heartily Endorsed by
Merchants Who Believe 1t Will
Revive Business.

OAKLAND, CAL, June 25.-The Board
of Trade directors have sent out circular
to all members regarding the Oakland Ex-
position, in which they say:
The citizens OF Alameda County are enthusi-
asticaliy arranging to hold at the Exposition
building, during the month of August, home
industry exhibition OF the products and manu-
features OF the county Of Alameda. The first
effort in this direction during the month of
December last year, inspired by the activity of
the Manufacturers and Producers Association
of California, met with such unqualified sue
cess that the management feels justified in en-
larglng the scope oil the next exhibition so as
to occupy the entire block bounded by
Eleventh, Twelfth, Webster and Harrison
streets.
1t has also been the means of bringing about
a strictly home industry fair in San Francisco
under the joint auspices of the Mechanics In
stitute and Manufacturers Association.
While last years display of the manufact-
ures and products of the county surprised and
gratified all the people, it is the intention to
leave nothing undone to magnify it to such an
extent that justice will be done to the great
importance of these industries and their rela-
ton to the prosperity of the entire State.
The growth OF manufacturing has been of
late years much greater than the people are
generally aware of. AS to viticul tura!. horti-
cultural and agricultural products, we believe
there is no county in the State that can equal
Alameda in quality and variety. With these
inspiring conditions before us, it is intended
to bring all our resources to the attention OF
the people not only of this but adjoining coun-
ties well. 1t is therefore hoped you will
lend your valuable aid by making creditable
display.
We would earnestly urge all members of the
Board of Trade to interest themselves in this
matter, especially those who are engaged in
manufactures or the production of any articles
of commerce TO make an exhibit of the same.
This is incumbent upon all mem bers. in order
that we may do our part in the good work of
building up and making known the various
manufactures and indus tries of this county
ana thereby promote a revival of the business
prosperity of the community.

FO0TE CAVE THE LIE,
Almost a Fist Fight in the Oak
land Police Court at
Highs Trial.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, I
908 Broadway, June 30.


The trial of Gavin Dhu High, editor of
the Times, for publishing an alleged libel
on W. J. Dingee president of the Oakland
Water Company, lasted till late tonight.
An effort was made to close the case to-
night, but W. w. Foote, who appeared
as special counsel for w. ]. Dingee, wished
to put on some witnesses who were not
present and continuance was agreed upon
till tomorrow evening.
The Police Court was crammed all day,
and tonight when the City Council adj
journed all the members went direct to
the court. w. J. Dingee and w. E. Dargie
we're the chief witnesses for the prosecu-
ton. and Editor High took the stand in
his own behalf.
Attorneys Beatty and Foote kept the
pr oceedings very lively throughout, and
tonight the court had to interfere to pre-
vent what promised to be physical fight.
Mr.. Foote asked High question relating
to his conduct while employed on Call
fornia on Wheels, which toured in the
East some time ago.
THAT is an infamous question:" said
Attorney Beatty.
eff you say that 1 would ask an in
famous question you are a liar" said Mr..
Foote.
1Hote was sunni OK pldlhiHR, anu LAo us
lance between the two attorneys somewhat
diminished, when Judge Wood peremp-
torily called them to order.
w. E. Dargie testified that High had
come to him and told him that be thought
Dingee should give him typesetting ma
chine and $3.50 month for the purpose of
keeping him friendly.
Counsel for High attempted to go into
the financial affairs of Dargie in the spring
of 1895 for the purpose of showing that he
was indebted to Dingee, but the objection
to such questioning was sustained. In de-
tense, High said he had not seen the libel
Gus item till after it was published. He
denied having to leave "California on
Wheels" for immoral conduct, and when
his testimony closed the case went over
till tomorrow night.

ASSESSORS AUTHORITY.
The Cons titutionality of the Act At
tackled by the Postal Telegraph
ComDanv.

The Cons titutionality of the Act At
tackled by the Postal Telegraph
Company.
The application of the Pacific Postal
Telegraph Cable Company for an injunc-
ton to restrain County Assessor H. P.
Dalton from selling the personal property
seized by reason of the refusal of the COM
pany to pay the tax as assessed, instead OF
upon the valuation returned the COM
pany, came up before Judge Ogden to-day
and temporary injunction was issued
upon the company putting up a $1,000
bond.
The Postal company claims that the as
sessment of their property in Alameda
County is excessive and not in accord with
that Of the Western Union, and that thev
should be granted a restraining order until
the matter could be heard before the Su-
pervisors, sitting as a Board of Equaliza-
ton, as in default of this theirproperty
would be sold without recourse upon an
arbitrary assessment made by the county
official.
The attorney for the company attacked
the constitutionality of the act of 1895
under which the Assessor is proceeding
and claimed that it was in conflict with
section IL and others relative to the right
of citizens to seek remedy before boards of
equalization. He claimed that the sale of
the property in advance of hearing before
the Board of Equalization would work an
irreparable injury to the plaintiff.
As to the first point the District Attor-
ney argued that the company had it's
remedy by paying the tax under protest,
and then if the Board of Equalization
sustained the protest 1T could be rebated
by the Assessor. He also commended that
the power OF the Assessor to seize and sell
personal property must be exercised before
the first Monday in July, as then he mus.
turn the rolls over 10 the Tax Collector.
Judge Ogden sid he considered sui
ficient showing had been made for tenn
porary order, so granted it. The matter
will be heard on its merits early IN July.

WANT The CONVENTION,
Conference of National Educa'
ton May Come West
in 1897.
Professor Brown of Berkeley Will
Make an Effort to Bring It
to San Francisco.

BERKELEY, CAL, June %. - Pro-
lessor Elmer E. B. Grown, head of the
department of pedagogy at the State
University, will leave for Buffalo,
n. Y, tomorrow morning to rep
resent the University of California at the
National Educational Convention TO be
held there early in July.
Professor Brown will make a special
effort to induce the convention to come to
California in 1897 and in an interview to.
day he expressed much hopes of being
able to do so providing the National Con-
vention of the Christian Endeavor Society
did not come to California at the same
time.
ut will be great thing for the State, I"
said Professor Brown to-day, IF we can
get the Educational Convention in 1897,
but still greater good will be accom-
plished if we can bring sufficient pressure
to bear on the Legislature to carry through
the bills now pending to increase the State
University land grants.
s'If the bill is passed by Congress we will
get something like 5000 acres of land
for the State University, in addition to the
$4,000 which we now have under the land
grant law. We purpose at this convention
talking over the best course to pursue in
bringing the Legislature to see he matter
as we do.
81 will be away for about three weeks,
and stop off for a few days at Chicago
and at Detroit
Professor Brown will read two papers
before the convention, one on Child
Study in the Tonpkins School, and one
before the Herbart Club on THE Theory of
Creative Epochs."
Professor Merrill will accompany Profess
scr Brown part way. Professor Merrill goes
to the meeting of the National Philolog-
ical Society at Brown University.

speech and motion are denied him. Mr..
Wall was engaged on the Daily Report as

OF incipient rheumatism. Last Thursday
he wrote that he was feeling better and
intended returning after July Fourth.
On Friday his wife received telegram TO
go up at once and bring him home.
The case is a most interesting one from
physicians point of view, for the
paralysis is said by the doctors to have
been induced by the excessive hot bathing
and over-exertion. This, however, has
