around the Gulf of California, quite a
prInceIy possession as acres 90, but as
dreary and uninhabitable waste as can
be found in Mexico.
Andrade was partner of Blythe in his
Mexican ventures, and was a valuable wit
ness in esta ablishing the claims OF Mrs
Hinckley to the estate. What he intends
a matter Of lecture.
The Blythe estate will not be N materially
crippled by the loss OF it's entire Mexican
holdings. The estate is worth at least
$4,000000, the lion part of which is COM
prlsed IN the block bounded by Grant
avenue, Geary and Market streets.
In addition to this there are some mines
in Trinity County and $4,000 acres OF land
in San Diego County. Like The Mexican
possession the San Diego County porti on
of the estate is Of little value witho ut
water, and thus far no practical plan of
irrigating it has been devised. The tit lie
to this. however, does not hinge on any
conditions TO improve it.
Mrs. Hinckley's attorneys refuse to dis
cuss tie probabilities of the loss of the
Mexican holdings. 1t is known they have
anticipated this condition. of affairs for
some time, and last summer General W.
II. II. Hart sent n agent TO Lower Cali
fornia for the purpose OF preventing the
purchase of the Los Algodones tract by
General Andrade. When he arrived at
Ensenada the transfer had already taken
place, and since that time no further
effort has been made to ward off further
cancellations in Mexico.

the last seven wears it has been located o n
Eddy street. between Scott and Devisa-
dero, having for its present pastor the
Rev. Father McGinty. An interesting
history has this old church.
twenty-five years ago, when the pres
ent church of ST. Patrick's parish was
dedicated, Father Grey, who IS the pres
ent pastor, had then been in charge of
the parish for ten years. His assistants
at that time were Rev. William B. o. Con-
nor, who is now pastor of st. Mary's
Church, Stockton; the Rev. P Power,
who Is at present pastor OF st. MIchaePs
Church, Livermore, and the Rev. Thomas
Larkin.
Since the dedication of the church
many improvements have been made
with regard to it's interior. The beautiful
altar which is so much admired by all
who see it on account Of It's naturalness
and the wonderful work in the way of
hand d-carving that is there displayed, was
purchased by Father Grey in Munich
when he made tour of Europe in 1876.
1t cost $4,000. The stained glass windows
around the altar were purchased by him
on the same occasion. These windows
are in themselves unique, being probably
the only ones in the City of similar
quality. The chimes or bells, which were
purchased by the late Peter Donahue in
1880 in Troy, n. Y, at a cost of $1,000 and
presented by him to st. PatrIck's, are the
only ones on the coast.

League of the Cross of st. PauPs.
St. Paul's Senior Branch of the League
of the Cross gave a High Java to its
friends in st. Pauls Hall on Twenty
ninth street last Thursday evening. The
hall had been very tas,efully decorated,
and there were covers for 110 people. Dur
ing the evening there was good pro-
gramme of singing, recitations and
responses to toasts that were offered. The
manner in which the evening was spent
shows that the young men who belong to
st. PauPs parish can enjoy themselves
without the adjunct of vinous and
spirituous beverages. As a result of the
entertainment, before adjourn ment a
number enrolled themselves as mem bers
of the branch.

gramme: "St. PauPs Senior Branch" " re-

Immediately Arch bishop Alemanv in
strucied Father Maeinnis 10 commence
these buildings. No time seems to have
been lost in doing So for by September a
temporary building was erected which
served the purpose both of church and a
school. The school until the arrival of
the Sisters of Charity was under the
special supervision of Father Maginnis
assisted by one lay teacher.
Notice was then sent to all the parish
toner's to meet on the first Sunday of No.
vember for the purpose of selecting a
patron saint for their new church. The
meeting was accordingly held and the
vast majority of those who came voted
that 81. Patrick, 1.-THE Apostle OF Ireland" :"
De CHOSEN as the patron saint. Thus, the
name OF the church and the parish was
the tree and deliberate choice of the par
lshloners Ever since then every church
in the district has been known as St.
Patrick's.
The church having been built and the
patron now selected the Rev. Father Ma
glnnls was, by his Grace Archbishop Ale
many, regularly appointed pastor of the
new parish on Decemb ber %, 1851.

Faithful Service of Two Beloved
Priests-History Of the Progress
of the Parish,

ST. Patrick's Church will celebrate lis
silver jubilee on March II with peculiar
splendor and magnificence.
Tne event is specially notable marking
1t will the stability Of an institution OF
wide benevolence and consistent well
doing. Under the faithful direction OF
Rev. John Maginnis and Rev. P. J. Grey,
the "hrst, last and only pastors, the
arduous labors OF q peculiarly thickly
populated district have been steadily
prosecuted. The friends of the church
and the pastors are legion and they will
hasten to cooperate with them in return
ing fitting thanks upon the attainment OF
such a memorable milestone in the his
tory of the parish.
At the cele bration of the coming silv er
Jubilee of the church all the magnificent
ceremonies for which the Catholic church
is so remarkable will be displayed. The
celebration will last three days and wi Ii
be of a strictly religious nature. The de-
votion will assume the form OF a tridu I'm.
Besides the devotional exercises there W i'll
he three sermons each day, which will be
preached by weli-known priests OF the
Diocese.
The Very Rev. Father Prendergast, Vicar
General of the archdiocese, will open the
iridium with an appropriate sermon on
Sunday evening, March II, and on the
m orning OF st. Patrick day the iridium
will be brought to a close by the singing
OF the pontitcal high mass by his Grace
Archbishop Z. w. Riordan. The sermon
on that occasion will be preached by the
Rev. 2. c. Yorke, the Chancellor of the
archdiocese. A grand musi cal programme
has been specially prepared for the occa-
sion by Professor Dohrmann.
In connection with this memorable cele-
bration something of the history OF the
steady progress of S.. Patricks Church
will be of interest.
On Pentecost Sunday, June 9, 1851, mass
was said for the first time in the district
attached TO ST. PatrIck's Church. The
first mass was celebrated by Rev. John n
Maginnis, who was then the only priest in
the City of San Francisco who could
preach in the English language. AS there
was no church in the district at that time
the mass was said In a private chapel.
Three weeks later Archbishop Alemany,
who had assigned Father Maginnis 10 the
district, was presented with piece of land
on which TO build a church, orphan aSy-

Der of parishioners of st. Palrick's had
very much increased Also and it was
thought advisable to build another
church and use the old one for the ac-
commodation of the orphans. Accord
ingly, on June l, 1854, new church was
commenced, facing on Market street,
where the Palace Hotel Is now, and on
August 16 following it was opened for
divine service by Archbishop Alemany.
On March II, 1855, FIVE more Sisters of
Charity arrived in San Francisco in order
to share the laoors of the five who mad
since 1851 been attending unaided TO the
school and orphan asylum. Sister Freder-
ica, who at present has charge of St.
Patrick's Boys School, was one of the five
late arrivals.
In 1862 the pastor of ST. Patricks Rev.
Father Maginnis, being advanced in years
and his health failing, owing to the MANY
and arduous duties 10 which he had for 50
long to attend, petitioned his Grace Arch
bishop Alemany to be relieved OF his
charge, and on June 1 of that year the
Archbishop graciously acceded to his re-
quest and appointed tue Rev. p. J. Grey
10 succeed him. few months afterward
Father Maginnis retired 10 Mount st.
Joseph's Orphan Asylum, where he died
about two years later.
The church built for Father Maginnis
in 1854 was for many years capable of ac-
commodating all the Catholics OF the
parish, but in 1868 the mum Der of Catho-
lies became so great that the church was
no longer able to hold them all Then
Father Grey bought the grounds on Mis-
sion street between Third and Fourth, on
which the present imposing editice stands,
for $40 COO. This church was commenced
in April, 1870, and was dedicated bv Arch
bishop Alemany on the feast of st. Pat
rick, March II, 1872. Hence it is that the
silver jubilee, or twentv-hith anniversary
of it's dedication, will be celebrated on ST.
Patrick s day OF this year.
st. Patrick's Church, which was re-
placed by the church known at present
by that name, was, after the building of
the new structure, moved to Eddy street,
between Octavia and Laguna, where,
under the title of ST. Johns Church, the
people of the district worshiped over
twenty years. 1t was then moved further

California Theater.
Sousa, "the one and only" and his
inimitab bic band rendered a fine pro-
gramme yesterday afternoon 10 an excel
lent audience at the California Theater.
To say the listeners were pleased goes
without saying, and it would be strange if
they wer4 not, for San Francisco audi
ence dearly loves an encore and Sousa is
the most generous of conductors and
gracefully yields without protest time
and again. Two eDcores, three encores;
the public simply expected TO near every
one of Sousa's IN arches at each concert.
Sousa was sorry for them when he
remembered how long it would be before
they would hear his marches properly
played again and wished TO leave CRATE
tul memory of his visit.
Sousa's marches have a peculiar infu-
ence over the public; they are not all
alike, yet they are all Sousaesque and
easily recognized. 1t is the rhythm which
strikes not only every ear, but every foot,
for Immediately Sousa music begins an
i'm promptu march sets in and the whole
house vibrates. HARMONY aud melody
would be ineffective without rhythm.
This is the point in which Sousa'S band
exceis, and every instrument is so per-
fectly in tune that the ensemble is quite
exhilarating.
Miss Northrop yesterday sang a soprano
solo from Lucia, and rendered it quite
nicely when she forgot her tremolo. Miss

native troops and the royal Irish regi-
ment with four guns, under command OF

of the Kurum valley fort and another
force has been sent to the assistance oil
the Shmwar CARR son.

through treacbery, and that the original
report that tight lasting two hours took
place within tho walls of the fort Is un-
founded.
Tho $50 Khyber Rifles, who were sta
toned there belonged 20 various clans
and included n number Of men from the
Peshawur valley. After fighting of a

dronped from the walls and fled 20 their
