Yesterday was an interesting day for

for upon the results OF the shoot depended
the possession of the beautiful gold medal
presented by Captain l.. Siebe, proprietor
of the range. The conditions were that
the medal should go to the marksman
making the three best centers in twelve
bulls s-eye shoots. The contest centered
down to H. Hellberg and A. Mocker. 1t

affect the results previously attained by
either and Hellberg won the medal by

knowledge. In this very time the most
wonderful discoveries and inventions have
taken place. In the daily press we read of
most striking and wonderful discoveries
and inventions, especially in that mysteri-
Gus power of electricity, which, how ever,
seems to be only in its infancy.
"Man thirsts for knowledge of all the
arts and sciences, but this will avail little
unless united with a knowledge of God.
These are two great powers. They are well
understood by the Catholic church, whose
children have been the most illustrious
scientists and saints that have honored the
name of men. Such as st. Augustine, St.
Dominic and Columbus, men remarkable
for their highly cultivated minds and pure
hearts,
perhaps there is no nation to-day
which is making such advances In the
study of arts and sciences as America.
The people likewise are most anxious to
learn the true knowledge OF God, for there
is deeply iInbedded in the American heart
the grand idea-the most sublime of all
of divine and eternal being, the creator
and ruler of the world.
Man knows full we'll that apart from
God he can never be perfectly happy, as
we learn from the example of one of the
greatest and wisest of men, King Solo
mon, who in the midst of his hmitless
wealth and great knowledge discovered
nothing but vanity of vanities. Mans
heart then, being made by God, must soar
toward God, and find its happiness in the
possession OF a supreme and infinite good
which is God alone. Those who visited
the Worlds Fair at Chicago were able to
acquire by the careful study of the world s
wonders which were displayed there an
amount of knowledge which they could
not otherwise acquire in the same time
and at the same expense in any other part
of the world. Yet their natures were not
satisfied. with what they saw. There was
longing to see other and more entranc-
ing worlds. Hence we learn that the very
soul of man can never be perfectly satis-
fed until God withdraws the veil from be-
fore our vision"
Father O'Shea closed by urging all to
attend the mission.

FOUR WEEKS OF PRAYER
Thousands Attend the Opening of
the Mission at St. Patrick'S
Church.
Father O'Shea Reviews the Work of
the Church in Christianizing
the World.

The Redemptorist Fathers began mis-
sion at St. Patrick's Church on Mission
street yesterday. 1t will continue for four
weeks. Services will be conducted in the
morning and evening of each day.
There was not standing room in the
historical old edifice over which the vener-
able Father Grey presides at the high mass
at 030 o'clock yesterday morning. It
was an impressive ceremony. The sermon
was preached by the Rev. Father O'Shea.
The last mission given by the Redempt-
or1sts in st. Patrick's Church was ten
wears ago. At that time it was attended
by 10000 adults and 5000 children.
Father O Shea preached on "The Neces-
sity and Utility of Missions" 1.-THE con-
version OF the world must be attributed" !"
said the preacher, ito the missions given
by our Lord, his apostles and their sue
cessors. No nation has yet been converted
from barbarlsm, paganism or lnhdelity to
the true knowledge and worship OF God
except by the missionaries OF the Catholic
church st. Peter unfurled the banner of
Christianity in Rome, ST. James in Spain,
ST. Paul and the other apostles through
the Roman world. ST. Remigius planted
the faith in Gaul, st. Patrick in Ireland,
ST. Augustine in England, st. Boniface in
Germany, st. Francis Xavier in the Indias,
and we know that the missionaries who
accompanied Columbus 403 years ago cs-
tabllshed the faith in America.
s.As the faith had been established and
propagated by the preaching of the apos-
ties and missionaries of the Catholic
church, so when there was evidence of de-
cav it was revived again by the self-same
preaching OF the eternal truths which are
stamped deeply in the minds of those who
believe the eternal truth Of God.

THE PAINTERS STRIKE.
Journeymen Ready to Walk Out When
Their Demands Are Refused.

Journeymen Ready to Walk Out When
Their Demands Are Refused.
All day yesterday the members of the
Painters and Decorators Union held side
walk meetings to discuss the strike that
will take place this morning against all
boss painters. who will decline to acceue to
the terms OF the journeymen for better
pay, shorter hours and recognition OF
the Building Trades Council workng-card
system. Among all there is a determina-
tion to stand by the union to the bitter
end. If necessary they will fake contracts
themselves in order to compel recognition
on the part of the bosses.
However, 1t is generally believed that
the strike will not be general. as the better
class of master painters have already sig
nified their willingness to treat the men
fairly and grant what they demand.
Withthe men employed in shops with
such bosses there will be no strike.
The first question to be asked by the
men this morning Will be: "Do you agree
to our terms or do you not?"
Where the reply is in the negative the
men will walk out and report at once to
the executive board of the union, which
will be at the Temple, at III Turk street, all
day. This board states that it will be
willing to confer with all master painters
who show disposition to straighten out
the troubles caused by their refusal to ac-
cede to the union demands.

all orders. The day was pleasant and
there was just enough wind to carry off
the smoke. At times the light was poor
and varying. owing to the occasional pres
ence of clouds in the sky. Nearly every
shooting stand was occupied all day, and
the shooting continued as long ss there
was light enough to see the targets.
The Columbia Pistol and Rifle Clubs
members were out in full force for their
semi-monthly shoot for records, medals
and cash prizes. A number of fine scores
we're made on the clubs new target. A.
Strecker broke the 200-yard three shot
rifle record of the club by making 7, con-
ssting of l. 2 and 4. This shows that he
punched his three shots all inside of the
three-inch circle.
On the 50-yard pistol range a large
amount of ammunition was consumed.
c. NJ. Dalss who stands at the head of the
list of pistol shots, made another record
for himself by securing points in three
shots on the Blanding pistol medal record.
J. l.. German, whose picture in his char
acteristic position appears in this column,
did some excellent shooting and his best
was 9. Mr.. German is the assistant Sec
retary of tie club and Is among the best
all-round shots. His favorites, however
are the pistol and revolver. With the lat
ter weapon he has made on the Blunt tar
get 95 out of possible 100 and 432 out of a
possible 500. He possesses a tirst-class
medal and has held the So shot pistol dia-
mond medal.
Following are the scores made on the so

there were but ten, who were seated at a

cacy.

There was marked increase in the en-
thusiasm bestowed upon Marsick at his
farewell concert last night, though the
audience was small. When he first
played here Paderewski's popularity made
the violinist suffer partial eclipse, and
at Marsick's second recital the applause
was hearty, but not enthusiastic. Last
night, however the audience at the Bald
win Theater grew positively demon
strative, people ventured upon cries OF
"Bravo!" and in the concertos the orches-
trail portions Of the performance were fire.
quently rendered inaudible by applause.
Marsick is certainly player whose art
grows more and more upon the hearer.
The purity of his tone, his smoothnesS and,
above all. his complete refinement, COM
pei admiration the more one hears them.
Marsick has no strong dramatic person
ality, no vigor and breadth to startle his
hearers into enthusiasm, and he descends
to no chicanery to trick them into appla I'D
ing, but his refinement and perfect smooth
ness, although qualities thet do not dazzle
the multitude, are splendid equipment
Tor winning admiration in the long run
from those who think more of art than of
sensationalism.
In the allegro moderate of the Vieux-
| temps Grand Concerto Marsick did some
of his smoothest and most polished work
| last night, thodgh the Mendessohn con-
Saint-Saens "Rondo Capriccioso" was a
gem of finish and delicacy. Very different
was his Interpretation of the Mendelssohn
concerto from Ysaye's. The latter was
broad, majestic tone-painting, while Mar
sick's way OF laying on the tone colors, if
the expression is allowable, was like a
miniature, not large in conception but
oYu11iSirolv finished n detail
In response to very enthusiastic encores
Marsick played to his three numbers the
following encores respectively "Serenade"
by G. Pieone, "Czardas" by Hubay. and
"Gipsy Dance by Saras ate.
The orchestra, conducted by August
Hinrichs, did much in the concertos that
on the whole was satisfactory. Mr.. Hin
he is too apt to &C ahead with the relent-
lessness of metronome, but 1t was only
in the final movement of the Mendelssohn
number that this popularity seemed to
hamp per Marsick.
In the Saint-Saens rondo the strings
were not in tune in places, but on the
whole the orchestra did WELL It was seldom
TOO loud, which is saying good deal when
one considers the delicacy of Marsick' s
playing. The orchestra received an encore.
and its other mum bers, particularly Gade' s
overture, were warmly applauded.
The vocalist, Mrs. Ernest II. Palmer,
has not much voice, and what she does
possess she has an unfortunate habit of
producing as If singing through a tube.
Particularly at the end of her Samson
and Dallla" area she was considerably out
of tune, but Mrs. Palmer received encores
to both her songs, which shows that there
were people who enjoyed her singing.
Mrs. J. n. Hinrichs accompanied the en-
cores very sympathetically.

BILL DYSON SHOT.
A Sunday Afternoon Row Between a
Colored Bootblack and Clothing
Picker.

Bill Dyson. colored bootblack with q
stand on Grant avenue, between Post and
Sutter streets, was shot last evening at 5
O'Clock by Benjamin Franklin Voolfolk.
The affray was witnessed by Special OF
ficer Linvile, who substantiates the story
OF Voolfolk that he acted in self-defense.
The shooting was the outcome of
trouble that began several months ago.
Voolfolk is employed as packer by A. d.
Simpson, clothing drummer living at
$50 O'Farrell street. Voolfolk had let
Dyson have coat and vest, which Dyson
refused to pay for. Dyson and Voolfolk
met yesterday, and after severe words Dy-
son struck Voolfolk. and was in the act OF
following up the assault when Voolfolk
shot.
Dyson ian, and Voolfolk followed, firing
twice more. wnen dyson fell. Voolfolk
turned to run. Seeing Special Linvilie,
who was then turning in his 5 O'Clock
alarm at the telltae clock in the pawnshop
near by, he ran to him and gave himself
up.
Special Linville knows both parties to
the quarrel. Dyson, he says, is big,
quarrelsome fellow who boasts of his
powers as fighter, and has been frequently
arrested because of them. Mr.. Linville

has never been in trouble before.
The wounded bootblack was hastily re-
moved to the Receiving Hospital, where
he was attended by DR.. We'll. The surgeon
found that the bullet entered the head
back of and above the right ear. Around
the wound the scalp was badly bruised,
probably by the fall. Under the circum-
stances it was decided not to attempt to
locate the leaden pellet, but to wait until
to-day 10 see what symptoms develop.
The wound is regarded as very serious, but
not necessarily fatal. The doctors forbade
the sufferer to excite himself by talking
about the affair.

Results Of Two Old Dog Stakes De-

Yesterday.

An unusually large number of coursing
men assembled at Ocean View Coursing
Park yesterday to witness the running of
the twenty-four dog stake that was on the
card, and some fine sport was witnessed
by all present.
Old reliable Mission Boy succeeded in
winning the main stake, after run with
Nellie in which the points were nearly
equal.
The spectators made heavy day of it
through the frequent winnings of short
enders. Toward the close, however, the
talent succeeded in sizing up the true form
OF the dogs and the favorites took nearly
all of the last runs.
The hares were in fine condition and in
many instances showed the way across the
field and into the escapes. Following is
