Members OF st. Francis Parish to Have
a Days Outing at Fruit
vale

There will be grand reunion of the
parish toner's of st. Francis parish at Pitts
vile Park, Fruitvale, next Saturday. Con-
siderable interest Is being shown in the
event and, as the various committees of
arrangements have labored assiduously
for the complete success of the day, it is
stated confidently that st. Francis parish
will be represented by over 1000 of its
members on the greensward near Fruit
vale.
This being the first social gathering and
outing since their new pastor, Rev. Terence
Caraher, assumed control of the parish
the belief prevails that many will meet
him on the grounds. Then, too, his en-
thusiasm and force will be infused into the
gathering, and altogether it will be a
happy affair.
The plcnlckers may travel to the grounds
every half hour by the Oakland broad
gauge to Bruitvale station, and the cost of
tickets has been placed at minimum
90 cents for adults and 25 cents for chill
dren.
As many as seventy-eight gate prizes
nave been donated, mostly by people in
the parish, and several prizes will be
offered for competition in games.
The programme of athletic events is as
follows:
Race for boys under IA race for girls under
race Tor married men; race for married ladies;

CAV SIERRA IS SATISFIED.
The Italian Consu,,.General Ex-
presses Pleasure at Being
Here.
Yesterday His Office Was Open to All
Who Chose to Visit
Him.

The new Italian Consul General, Cav.
Carlo Philip Sierra. is pleasant, genial
man, who gives every promise of becom-
ing immensely popular with the colony.
Yesterday be began to initiate himself
into the duties of his new office, and did it
in a way which showed him to be what
the Italians call ''democratico," and which
means, without any frills or naughty at
tempt at superiority. No bureaucratic
red-tapism held visitors back from seeing
Cav. Sierra; the doors of the Consulate
were open to all visitors, and people who
wanted to see him could walk into the
inner Office and visit the Consul-General.
Cav. Sierra expressed himself as being de-
lighted with his present appointment.
''San Francisco is considered one of the
best Italian consular positions in the
United States" he said. "The people
are pleasant and harmonious, the climate
is delightful. What can man want
moreYT and the Consul General laughed
with satisfaction at the smiling future
before him.
Cav. Sierra says that he is fond of Ameri-
cans. He has given proof OF the fact by
marrying an American lady and in all the
consular positions that he has held in the
United States he has been popular in
American society. In 1885 he went to New
Orleans, remaining there two and a half
years. He has also held consular positions
in Phllad> lphia, Boston and Baltimore,
so his acquaintance with the United States
is quite extensive.
For two years he was in Chile Those
were war years and exciting times, but he
never met with any personally exciting
incidents. or if he did, he modestly
conceals the fact. Just as peace was de-
clared in Valparaiso he was recalled
home.
Although a native of Genoa, he makes
his headquarters in Rome, when in Italy,
partly because 1t is the seat of Govern

The Divorce Conr.

Charles E. Gill was yesterday granted di-
vorce from Cora E. Gill by Judge seawell. 1t
was proven that the latter willfully deserted
her husband.
Judge Trout divorced Mrs E. E. Shearer
from j. L. shearer because of the defendants
extreme cruelty.
Judge Hebbard separated Marion E. Hicks
from Robert NJ. Hicks because of defendant's
willful neglect
New divorce suits were filed by Agnes Bourke
against Herman Bourke and by Ida KelIen
against w. II. Kellen.

NEW TO-DAY.

All this "hocus-pocus,"
as you may call it, about
colored tea-by the way,
did you ever know a
hocus-pocus talker to
back up his talk with
money-back? = this talk
about colored tea applies
mostly to Japan tea and
some China teas.
Why, then, should you
use ScASzlimg's S Best Ceylon
and Oolong and English
Breakfast?
They are fresh-roasted
roasted right here in San
Francisco by our own tea
roasting machine, the only
machine on the Coast.
Fresh-roasted tea is like
fresh-roasted peanuts.
You don't know the
charm of tea, unless you
have tasted it fresh-roast-
ed. And you have not
