PRAYERS FOR TIE DEAD.

Father Gente's Sermon on the Recent
Great Catastrophe in Paris.
A high mass for the repose of the souls
of the unfortunates who lost their live g
during the charity fair last week in Paris
was celebrated yesterday at the Church OF
Notre Dame des VICTORIES, Pere Loude
celebrant Pere Rouselon assisting.
The place of worship was crowded with
sympathizers, who listened to the short
and eloquent sermon of Able Gente.
France weeps to-day and weep ye and
pray for those precious souls taken from
among their families, friends and de-
pendents by cruel fate" spoke the priest.
"At first glance" he added, "it would
appear that happiness was not the reward
of virtue, when we consider how more
than 100 of our com patriots were cut out
from lie while they were in the midst of
dispensing charity. This, no doubt, will
be the position taken by the disbelievers,
and even the faith of some OF the disbe-
levers will be somewhat shaken by this
dreadful castas.rophy.
This should not be the case, however,
for if God permits the righteous 10 suffer
it is only to recall them TO him instructed
and purified by their tribulations. The

Tle Tavern Of Castle ClagI.

The Tavern OF Castle Crag was built in
the heart of the Sierras almost at the foot
OF Mount Shasta, and amid the most pic
turesoue mountain scenery accessible to
the tourist. The eligibility of the place
sele cted was due to a rare combination OF
flowing water, inspiring mountain scenery
and inviting forests.
The Tavern of Castle Crag, with its
splendid environment, it was believed
would appeal chiefly to those who seek a
summer resort for health, recreation, out
door sports, sympathy with nature and
informal sociability. To emphasize this
intention and signify the Kind of invita-
ton extended, the name TAVERN OF
Castle Crag was chosen.
To avoid all implication of sumptuous
accommodations or the tyranny of social
Journalism and to realize this original con-
ception, the management has decided to
make the Tavern of Castle Crag distinct
lively family resort and especially at
tractive to those to whom health, recrea-
ton and sympathy with nature are
paramount considerations. To this end
rooms on the first and second floors of
this splendid tavern, with board, will be
furn ished at a monthly rate of $65 a per-
son; and rooms on the third floor, with
board, at a monthly rate of $50 person.
The accomm odations of the Tavern are
first class in every particular. Its parlors
and halls are elegant and spacious. Its
verandas are cool and inviting, placing G
the guest always in the presence of the
most attractive mountain scenery TO be
enjoyed from the balcony of any tavern
in the world.
The opportunity for outdoor sports en-
braces hunting fishing, riding bicycling,
walking on mountain paths and driving
on picturesque roads. The Tavern is To-
Gated Immediately on the main trunk line
of the California and Oregon Railroad, and
is fourteen hours ride from Stockton. te n
hours from Sacramento, thirty hours from
Los Angeles and twenty-three hours from
Portland. The Tavern of Castle Crag is
reached from San Francisco and Sacra-
mento without loss of time. The train
leaves San Francisco at s o'clock P. NJ, ar.
irving early the following morning for
breakfast, which is always ready upon
the arrival of the train. Returning, the
train time affords equal accom- m odation.
Thus both IN going and in coming the
comfort of the passenger and the economy
of his time have been studied In brief
the Tavern of Castle Crag realizes to it's
guests the perfect ideal of that spring.

MRS, BESlAT'S SfIRST TALK
She Tells Her Audience of the
Evolution of the
Soul.
Materia ism Is He'd Inads quate 10
Solve the Problem Of
Destiny.

Mrs. Annie Besant lectured to a
thoughtful audience at Metropolitan Tenn
pie last night, subject: 1.-The Evolution
OF the SOUL"
Mrs. Besant is pleasing ualker, who
never hesitates for a word. Her voice is
deep and rich and her address abounded
in references to the facts of modern
science.
She outlined the hopelessness of ma
terialism as sane solution of the prob
lens OF destiny, struck several hard blows
at the doctrine of heredity and concluded
that the only rational solution of the prob
lens of life is that put forth by theosophy.
According to one view of life," she
said, ''all human destiny is settled in the
span between the cradle and the grave,
but tEeosophy teaches that souls have ex-
periences through hundreds, yes, thou
sands of lives, and that the saint and
criminal alike are part of God"
Her analysis of the struggle that goes on
in the soul of one struggling to master
passion and weakness and heed the lessons
of its past experiences, was masterful.
1.-THE mind adds the memory of pleas
ure and of pain to its experiences" she
said, ''and the soul sits as a monitor to
warn the individual what to do.''
Mrs. Besants great lecture on the sub
ject will be delivered at Metropolitan
Temple on Thursday night. Manager AL
Marks says the sale of tickets is already
verv large.

League of the Cross Cadets

Orations.
Lieutenant Deasy Wins the
Temperance Essay
Medal.
A Remarkab Series of Orations on
the Devastating Power of the
Drink Habit.

There was a remarkable temperance
rally by the Fourth District League OF the
Cross Cadets at Metropolitan Temple yes
terday afternoon.
Colonel William p. Sullivan Jr. presided
over the deliberations of the body, and
the afternoon passed away pleasantly
with musical and literary exercises. The
chief event was the competition between
five young orators for a silver medal,
which was awarded to E. j. Deasy of st.
Mary's Parish.
The essays of all were prepared with
more than usual thoroughness, both as to
diction and delivery, and the judges
found difficult to name the victor. The
die was finally cast for Deasy because OF
his more feeling and natural delivery.
The following were the contestants: E.
]. Deasy, st. Mary's; John f. Owens.
Holy Cross; Joseph P. Carew, Sacred
Heart; Joseph Calligan, st. Brigid' 3;
James McCorran, St. Francis.
Music was rendered by the Sacred Heart
orchestra, of which Brother Hosea is
leader, and by the glee club of Company
A, L. G. c., Captain brady leader. The

Jacobus, which was encored, and the
other music consisted OF the singing of
America" ''Veni Creator" and "Te
Deum."
Father Philip Organ opened the enter
tainment with prayer, and Colonel Sui
Iivan delivered a brief address of welcome,
wherein he portrayed in general way
the cost of intem perance, and gave the
League of the Cross great credit for its
work for good citizenship.
The general theme of every essay or
grafton was ''The Cost OF Intemperance."
The speakers all considered the subject
with reference TO the effect of drunken
ness on the individual as well as on
society.
They showed how the liquor habit un-
dermines health, morals and mind, and
gave vivid pictures of the desolation of
homes and the desecration of all that
people ought to regard as high and holy.
Mr. McCarran showed that drunken
ness is not limited to any race, creed or
condition of men; that 1t eats away on
all classes that are its victims remorse-
lessly.
John F. Owens went deeply into the
historic phases of the problem and held
that drink primarily caused the fall of
Babylon.
Z. j. Deasy, the winner of the silver
medal, held than when drunkenness en-
ters society discord holds sway; that
liquor leads to crimes of every nature. He
said that the American people have spent
$26 900, 000,0 for liquor in ninety years.
Drunkenness blights nope, deadens am
bition and paralyZes industry" he said,
finally filling prisons, poorhouses and
asylums with its victims"
Francis Colligan made a stirriug ad-
dress, treating of temperance as it affects
the physical, moral and spiritual side OF
mans nature. He quoted from Shakes
peare to show the picture OF perfect
man and drew strong portrayal OF the
man ruined by liquor. Like the others,
he was loudly cheered.
Joseph r. Carew was the last speaker.
His paper showed careful preparation and
abounded in useful statistics as to the ex-
tent of the drink habit. He said it would
require ten men with scoop shovels to
American people spend them for drink.
and that the dollars spent each year, laid
in row, would extend 1878 miles.
The Judges of the contest were: Miss
S. A. Grote, John O'Gara and T. r. Curtis.
While they were deliberating President
William +. Humphrey of the Cathedral
Council of the Y. NJ. l. made a good
speech on "Heroism." He dwelt on the
great value in modern times of dicipline,
perseverance and self-reliance, all OF which
traits intemperance undermines. He held
that in this age of keen competition, more
than ever before, men have need to be
sober and in full possession of their facul-
ties
When the silver medal was pinned on
orator Deasy by Rev. Father Organ there
was great applause, after which there was
some music, wherepon the assembly dis
persed.

The Successful

racing to Honolulu and the captain OF
the last one in has TO put up for dinner
for the other three at the Royal Hawaiian
Hotel. The barkentine Planter, Captain
Dow, was towed out by the tug Vigilant
last Saturday night; the brig Lurline,
morning and the schooner Aloha, Captain
Dabel. and bark S. G. Wilder, Captain
Mcneil, were towed out yesterday morn
ing.
The Aloha in tow of the Reliance was
first away, and before the Vigilant had
the Wilder well under way had secured a
lead of nearly three miles. The big
schooner was the heavier tow of the two,
and that was one thing in favor of the
crack Vigilant. The latter during the run
to the whistling buoy made up the three
miles leeway and had cast the Wilder off
and was on her way back to port before
the Reliance was ready to let go her tow.
Chief Engineer John English is more
than pleased with the performance Of the
Vigilant, as he is only now getting over
the chagrin he felt at the beating the Re-
lance gave his vessel seven months ago.
Captain Brokaw of the Reliance did not
take his defeat very much to heart as he
was irving to make easy weather of it for

The Pacific Mail Company's City Of
Sydney arrived from Panama and way
ports yesterday. She brought up an un-
usually large number of people in the
cabin, many OF whom are from the Guate-
malan exposition. Among the number
was Mrs. Barrios, wife of the President of
Guatemala; Baron Won Bergan, German
Minister to Guatemala, and Baron Xavier
du Tell, the big sugar and coffee planter,
who is called 'the Claus Spreckels OF Cen
tral America"
The voyage of the Sydney was an un-
eventful one and Captain Frank Johnston
says that everything was quiet and peace
able IN the States from Panama north.
