ROXBURY,
A LITTLE FRICTION IN THE METHODIST
 CHURCH.

A LITTLE FRICTION IN THE METHODIST
 CHURCH.
 The Methodist people are having 8 little friction with their dominic, Rev MT Bloun. It seems the trouble grew out of the dominie's bringing the key to the Washington church to Roxbury with him, Intentionally, thereby keeping cer- tain people out of the building. The trustees wanted the key but he was ob- stinate, and when the sheriff, who is also one of the trustees, recently made de- mand for the key there was some plain talk, and hotness under the collar, which however did not get any farther. It was expected he would give up the key and thus restore peace once more to make the short remainder of his stay here not too boisterous sailing. The members of the church generally regret the un- pleasanCness.

A VARIETY OF TEMPERATURE.

VARIETY OF ITEM LITERATURE.
 March has given us q variety of tenn perature. The thermometer has varied from 10 degrees to zero, or a little below it. The bare ground has given place to snow, making secondary sleighing and sleddiDg in places, What the last half of the month will be is only known to Him who, moment by moment, unfolds the mysterious book, which the revelat0r saw, sealed within and without with seven seals, or perfectly sealed, whom no one was worthy to open but the "Lion of the Tribe of Judah" It is we'll that it is so.

PROGRESSIVE MERCHANTS.

The activity of merchants on some of
the leading thoroug hfares. of the City
gives promise of vast improvement in
our streets as regards both lighting and
paving. Progressive men have succeeded
in arouslng their neighbors to the impor
lance of improving the streets on which
they do business in order that the BUSH
ness itself may be improved, and such is
the ardor with which the new movement
has been undertaken that there is good
reason for believing We shall see impor.
tant results attained in this work In all
quarters of the City.
The success achieved by the business
men. and property-owners in advancing
the trade of several streets by improved
lighting has not been lost upon the mer-
chants and property owners of other
localities. What has been effected in one
place can undoubtedly be effected in
others by the same means, and as a con-
sequence theme plan has been taken I'D
elsewhere and is being vigorously pushed
forward.
There can be no question but that a
largeonumber Of the principal thorough
fares of the City are in great need of i'm
provement. The conditioned our streets
is in fact one of the greatest defects of our
municipal life. We have hardly good
street in the City. Scarcely single thor
oughfare of business is either paved or
Lighted in a way to make it comfortabl
to residents or attractive to visitors. Any
movement, therefore, which tends to i'm
provement in these respects is one which
deserves the commentator of popular
opinion and the support of public spirit
San Francisco will not fail to give due
credit to her progressive merchants and
property-owners who are now doing SO
much to advance the streets in which
they are interested. They have set an
example which sooner or later will be fol-
lowed even by men who up to this time
have hesitated to spend dollar for the
improvement Of their property. More
over, the influence of the example set in
this way will have its effect upon the m u
nicipai government and the people at
large, 50 that within the near future we
may look to see new era in street work
begun which will result in providing San
Francisco with streets and highways com
mensurate with her position among the
cities of the United States.

A NEW SACRED EDIFICE.
st. PauPs Protestant Epis cOpat Church
Was Dedicated by Bishop ichois
Yesterday.

The handsome new st. Paul's Protestant
Episcopal church, at the corner OF Cali
fornia and Fillmore streets, was dedicated
yesterday by the r light Reverend Bishop
Nichols.
The building, which IS an imposing
structure of English Gothic architecture,
stands on the site of the old wooden
church, which was removed to make way
ior more commodious place of worship.
1t was commenced just 100 days ago, and
hurried forward to completion that It
might be dedicated on the first Sunday in
Advent. the beginning of the new year in
the Protestant Episcopal church.
The Bishop in the dedicatory services
was assisted by the Rev. w. M. REILLY,
the Rector Of st. PauPs. Rev. R. G. Foute
of Grace Episcopal Church, Rev. w. II.
Moreland OF st. Luke's, Rev. J. A. Emery
of the Church of the Advent, Rev. Hobart
Chetwood of ST. James Mission, Rev. w
l. Kip of the chapel of the Good Samari-
tan and Rev. Mr.. Mynard.
The music was rendered by full sur
| pliced choir of young gentlemen and
ladies, the latter in white gowns and
| black mortarboards, and a quartet, con-
sisting of: Miss Mabel Love, soprano :;
Mrs. Homer Henley, contralto; ]. Des-
| mond, tenor, and Harry Melvin, basso.
The entire force OF twenty-four voices was
under the direction of Professor F. Katzen-
bach, the organist. An offertory solo was
| grandly sung by Homer Henley. The
| beautiful anthem, II Waited for the
Lord was rendered by Mrs. Homer Hen
| ley and Miss Mabel Love.
| During the services addresses were made
by ,Bishop Nichols and Rev. Mr.. Foute.
| in which they spoke of the difficulties
| that Deset the builders of the splendid
edifice at the beginning of their labors
But so energetic and rapid had been their
work that only 100 days elapsed while the
| structure was built from foundation to
steeple.
The building cost 5000, of which $4,000
has not been raised. The friends of the
church have been liberal in their dona.
tions, and the present indebtedness will
doubtless soon be cleared off.
| : The heating apparatus was provided
gratuitcusly by ]. b. Sietson and the cleo
trio light system by John /. Sabin. The
church will be consecrated when free OF
| debt.
Throughout the interior the woodwork
is of solid oak. The main front of the
building is in light red sandstone with )
| handsome finish.
