The Rite Administered TO Hun.
dreds of Catholics, Old

Archbishop Riordan'S Sermon Was
Full of Earnestness and Deep
Thought.

STOCKTON, CAL, March 8.-Immense
mum bers tested the capacity of st. Mary
Catholic Church yesterday when the rite
of confirmation was administered to 249
persons, old and young. So many had
counted on attending that the crowd
pressed back for fully block IN each di-
rection.
Rev. Father O'Connor was celebrant at
high mass prior to the opening OF the I'M
pressive service Archbishop Riordan left
a sick bed to come to Stockton to keep his
appointment, but his sermon was as full
of earnestness and deep thought as ever.
His text was: BLESSED are they who hear
the word of God and keep it." The
sneaker said that the Savior pleads for the
sincerity of life. but demands obedience,
ouotine: Not they who say unto me.
Lord, Lord shall enter the kingdom of
heaven, but they who do my WILL
"Ater ALL" he continued. 1--WE are not
What our actions saw we are, we are what
our thoughts are. The supreme thing in
man is his SOUL We are responsible to
God for our thoughts, for II is our thoughts
that make us as we are. hlle CHRISTIAN
religion has stately ceremonials, above ali
the kin gdom of God is in our hearts and
mans LOYALTY is iE his heart. The state
ment that it makes no difference what
man believes is dangerous. Notwithsand-
ing the divisions of Christianity to-day
and the breaking up of the family which
should be one there is nothing outside OF
it but darkness and death.

Again at Work on the

NOGALES, ARIz., March S.-A dispatch
was received late last night from Solomon
vile, Ariz., by Collector of Customs Sam
uel F. Webb, stating that Lauro Aguirre
and Flores Chapa were en- route to No
gales to enter Sonora with an armed force
to institute revolution against the Mexi

he has little doubt but that he has in
custody the man who for few paltry
dollars hurled two men into eternity.
Some two days since party came to the
Sheriff and stated that while passing over
the Twelfth-street bridge, near this city.
he had been accosted by Russian Finn
who was evidently in hiding under the
structure, and asked to go and procure
some food for the stranger This man also
came to the Jail, but failed to recognize in
Rattan the man who had accosted him.
Under Sheriff Dave Reese, who resides
in the vicinity of Brighton, near where
Rattan was captured, has ascertained
beyond doubt that Rattan went to the
house of Mr.. Rutters on Wednesday, the
day after the murder, instead of Tuesday,
as claimed by the accused. and there are
several other incidents which would seem
to prove that Rattan, not satisfied with the
record he made when he shot down IN cold
blood one of Sacramento's most popular
citizens, James Lansing, has again added
to his record by the murder Of his inof-
Tending fellow-travelers, the two Japane ese.

TRUE RELIGION ExEMPL1F1ED.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, March s.
The beautiful Unity Church was crowded
to its full capacity to-day to hear the dis
tinguished author and divine, the Rev.
Edward Everett Hale, who is stopping at
Santa Barbara for the season and was an.
nounced to fill the pulpit this morning.
When the congregation was assembled the
ReT. Mr.. Hale, who, with his family,
is guest at the beautiful Hazard home,
on Mission Hill, and has Mr.. Hazard s
stable anu coachman at his command,
came driving quietly down to the church
in simple phaeton, his wife by his side
and himself guiding the quiet old horse.
Few recognized in this unostentatious rig
the advent of the celebrated man they had
come to hear.
Mr.. Hale's address was an earnest, fer
vent appeal for higher life and hi CHER
ideals of living, veined with that tender
sympathy and broad humanity which
have made him the foremost philanthro-
pist of the day.
The topic of Mr.. Hale's discourse was
"Religiosity VS.. Religion" and in it's
course he paid rather cutting compli-
ment to the typical religious paper. He
instituted a comparison between the SUI
perficial as distinguished from the true
religion, suggesting the case of family
which had no religious faith and from
which death suddenly claimed the dearly
loved mother. The father, distraught by
his own grief and the sorrow of his chill
dren, seeks consolation in the first reli-
gious paper he can find.
This religious paper treats of seve nteen
different subjects, and these Mr.. Hale re-
cited from a list actually taken from one
of the leading journals of the day. Not one
of these holds suggestion of consolation
or encouragement for the mourner. Next
he turns to the pulpit, and Mr.. Hale read
a list of ten subjects of religious discourse
which recently led a list of one hundred
announcements in metropolitan daily.
Here, again, there was not only barren
comfort but little food for reflection.
Mr.. Hale has too often been described to
require to be presented in person to Cali
fornians. Tall. spare, with large, deep set
eyes and earnest face he thrilled his hear
ers with his first word and held them in
rapt attention to the last. His sermon
with its practical sympathy was one to
make a lasting impression. at the con-
clusion of the discourse he came down
from the pulpit and shook hands with
every man, woman and child who waited

Sacramento's Sheriff Satisfied That He
Has Captured a Red.Handed
Criminal.

SACRAMENTO, CAL. March s.-Simon
Rattan, who was arrested yesterday by
Sheriff Johnson and Deputy Mcdonald on
suspicion of being the man who shot and
killed the two Japanese near Arno station
last Tuesday, has been positively identified
by the section hands, who saw the trio
walking up the railroad track shortly be-
fore the murder occurred, as the man who
was in company with the japanese on that
day.
This morning Rattan was turned at large
with some forty other prisoners in the Jail
yard, and when the three section men ar
rived in town Sheriff Johnson accompanied
them to the inclosure and requested them
to point out the supposed murderer.
AS the eyes of one OF the men fell on
Rattan, in an instant CLEAN of recognition
was noticed by the Sheriff, who was
closely watching the section mems every
action. and without the slightest hesita-
ton the man threaded his way through
the crowd to Ratan's side, and laying his
hand on his shoulder, said: This is the
man."
His two companions also recognized

from the roof of the station, which is about
sixteen feet from the floor, and struck
Rideout a glancing blow on the head and
leg. He was knocked unconscious and
died at o'clock.

THE FRUIT OUTLOOK.
Ecery Indication Points to Good Crops
of All Kinds.

of All Kinds.
SAN JOSE, CAL, March 8.-There is
but little demand for dried fruit and what
remains unsold in the valley is moving off
slowly. The sales made are all small. The
prices upon prunes remain firm at the
present basis, which is very low, about
cents for the average of the four sizes. As
near as can be estimated about 125 car
loads OF prunes remain in the valley.
This stock, if properly distributed, is not
much if any more, than is needed for the
usual spring consumption.
'As an experiment carload of prunes
was recently sent East in attractive two
and four pound paper cartoons. In ap-
pearance these packages are as attractive
as confectionery. Upon the covers the
publ is informed that the cartoons con-
tain Pure Santa Clara County Fruits, put
up by the California Dried Fruit Agency
Full directions for the cooking of the fruit
is printed upon each package. The fruit
was forwarded to the Chicago and Boston
markets, and the grocers there will be
urged to push them. The fruit being of
the very vest. no doubt its introduction in
that shape will be a fine advertisement for
the Santa Clara County products"
Every indication points to good crop
of all kinds of fruits the coming season,
with the exception of Moor Park apricots.
1nere mas not Deen gOou crop OF THIS
variety of apricots for three years.
In the vicinity of Santa Clara smudge
fires to produce clouds of smoke have been
resorted to, to protect the fruit during the
recent cold nights. This work was done
the most extensively by A. Block on the
San Francisco road. Last fall he laid in
stock of straw at an expense of $125 for
that special purpose.
With this straw and coal tar almost in
credible volumes of smoke are produced.
The object is to produce artificial clouds
that hang over the tops of the trees and
prevent the falling of the frost. 1t is well
known that on cloudy nights there is no
danger from frost no matter how cold the
weather is, and the smoke clouds have the
same effect. There is much disagreeable
night work attending the keeping up of
the fires, but in the low places where there
is so much danger of damage from frost
no doubt it pays to resort to it.
