Though an Invalid, He Spent a
Lifetime Laboring for
Mankind.
CROSSED THE PLAINS IN 1858.
Father Bernardin, a Youthful Priest,
Named as the Dead Mans
Successor.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Aug. "a
This year will be a memorable one of sor-
row and tragedy in the annals of the old
mission of Santa Barbara. Scarcely has
the shadow of the awful crime by which
the venerable Father Ferdinand Berg
meyer, the beloved father superior. lost
his life last spring begun to lift from the
venerable pile when the news comes of
the death of his successor, Father Ser
vatius Altmlcks, who passed away at
noon yesterday in the house of the Fran
ciscan fathers in Los Angeles, whittier he
went week or two ago in failing health.
Father Servatius was one of the first
members of the German Province of the
Sacred Heart to emigrate to this country.
reaching here in 1858 and joining in the
organization of the central house of the
order of ST. Louis. He was 81 years old
and had spent forty-fve years in the
order, forty-two in the priesthood. He
was very pious and self-abnegating man,
and served the church and his people
faithfully all these years, although he
may, be said to have been a lifelong
invalid, having suffered for more
than forty years from a severe
rupture. He filled many important posi-
tions in the order and upon the death of
Father Bergmeyer was selected to act as
father superior of the Santa Barbara mis-
sion, pending the appointment of regu-
lar successor to the murdered priest. This
appointment was recently made by the
st. Louis house in the person of Father
Bernardin, a youthful. gifted and Jealous
man, who assumed his high Office two
weeks ago.
The news of the death of Father Serva-
titus comes as shock to all of the mem
bers of his order here and there are fears
that its effect win prove fatal to the ven-
erable Father Fox, the Oldest member of
the order on this coast, who has, since the
murder of Father Ferdinand, been lying
mortally i'll at the mission. A strong feel
ing of personal attachment unites these
aged priests who have so long labored to-
gether in warm comradeship in their sa-
cred cause.
The dead priests body was brought to
Santa Barbara on the noon train to-day,
and on Wednesday morning at o'clock
funeral services will be conducted by the
Order of st. Francis. His body will be
placed in the new tomb, beside Father
Bergmeyer's, in the churchyard attached
to the old mission.

saloon on Van Buren, street, destitute, poor
and out of employment.
The meeting was pathetic one, for
Thomas had supposed his brother dead.
When Richard L. Doheny left home his
father and mother and two brothers and
a sister were living. All of them died ex-
cept his elder brother, Thomas, who had
drifted to Chicago and followed his trade
as a printer.
Desiring to see his brother Mr.. Doheny
came to Chicago and applied at the Cen
trail station for assistance, Detectives
were detailed on the case and they located
the missing brother in a saloon. His
clothes were ragged, his shoes torn and his
hair long and shaggy.
When Detective Burke stepped up to
him and asked him if he had any rela-
tives, the old printer said he had a
brother, but he thought he had died
wears ago. When Burke told Doheny
his brother was waiting to see him in
McCoy's Hotel across the street. the man
almost leaped in the air with delight. The
two brothers were brought face to face
and wept in each others arms with Joy.
The millionaire oil king took his brother
to barber-shop, where he was given the
full benefit of a tonsorial artists labors.
Then he enjoyed a bath.
A fashionable haberdasher furnished the
best OF wearing apparel and clothier a
brand new suit of clothes. & dinner at
the Auditorium was enjoyed by the
brothers, and then both retired to their
rooms in the Annex.

be as true as it is old. Therefore, the lat

sport at Del Monte will surely be a sur
passing success. The beginning is in the
nature of a disappointment. In the first

are, however, due on or before Thursday.

her pretty cousin, Miss Rodgers. Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Baldwin met the party on
their arrival. Miss Juliette Williams is
the reigning belle at the hotel. At dinner
this evening she was the observed of all
observers. Mrs. Hobart is not enjoying
the best of health, and after the fatigue of
the journey was obliged to retire to her
apartments.
