ST, ATHANAS|US
The Patriarch Described as
One Man Against the
World"
Father Gleason EIequently Tells
of His Church's Fight for
Freedom.
One Of the Most Interesting Periods
in the History of Christianity
Portrayed.

Rev. Joseph NJ. Gleason, who lectured
on "One Man Asainst the World" at
Metropolitan Hall last night under the
auspices of Ignatian Council No. IS, Y.
NJ. l., was greeted by crowded house.
President Philip ]. Lawler OF lgnatian
Council. after an organ selection by Fro
lessor Harrison, made few Introductory
remarks and was followed by Messrs. Nj.
Grennap and A. Guttman in an instru-
mental duet John ]. Rafael OF tho I1voil
gave . pleasing exhibition of his fine vocal
powers and then Father Gleason was in
troduced by President Lawler as fellow
member in tho council and as former
classmate.
The speaker opened by remarking that
history is studied now in way that was
ever known before. ''The ages long
past" he said, "wers the ages in which
were laid tho foundations OF the modern
civilization. One great result OF the
study of history is this: 1t has made men
realize that the Catholic church is the
greatest factor in the history OF the
world"
History in the past, he declared, had a.
ways been written with bias and a mo-
tive. It was kind of special pleading in
certain cause
1.-The church's history is studied more
than ever" he continued "Does the
church fear the turning on of the light?
Not at all.'
He referred to the encyclical of Leo XIII
e1horting the people to study the history
OF the church more than ever before in
their lives. Leo XIII. he said, went SO
lar as to throw open the secret archives of
the church to those who cared to peruse
them, and added:
"The churcn is to-day the same as she
was in the time of the Apostle Paul. She
might have changed somewhat in her out
ward appearance, but in her spirit and her
principles she is still the same"
The edict of Constantine was alluded to
as having freed Christianity, permitting
it to come out of the catacombs and dc.
velop in the light of the sun. This, he
claimed, resulted in a union of state and

Track.
Pepper Played for a Killing
by the Salt of
the Ring.
Nervoso Finally Won a Race-Ber.
gen First Oh Naranja-Lobengula
Scored Without Difficulty.

Three fsvorites and three outsiders took
purses at Emeryville yesterday. The Off
cials in the stand appear to relax their
proaches, and some very exhilarating ex-
hibitions of saddle-work can be witnessed
from day to day. The attendance con-
tinues good and the betting brisk as ever.
Fourteen very cheap platers started in
the opening seven-furlong run, for $500
selling purse, and the collection Of jockeys
thereon was an assorted one. Rapido,
with Clawson up, was the touted good
thing but never cut much figure. Picnic,
80 to / shot, made the running to the
stretch, where Con Moto assumed COM
mand and won cleverly from Mary Nievez,
a 200 to l shot ridden by lad named
Kiley. McFarlane, the post favorite, fin
ished in the show.
Nervoso, a 10 to shot, ridden by Patsy
Freeman, upset calculations by coming
from the rear and capturing the five and a
half furlong spin that followed in a drive
from Blue Bell, the second choice. Sam
Leake. backed to to favoritsm, was
third, beaten but head by the place horse.
Decision, which raced with Blue Bell to
the stretch, killed the latter's chances of
winning.
Marty Bergen landed the winner of the
third event, o five and a half furlong
scram BILE, in old time style. With the
mount on Naranja, a 6 to l chance. he
waited on Alma, the favoriie, and Gran
dezia to the stretch, where he began swing
ing clubs and in drive got the decision
over Alma by nearly length. Reel came
up and snatched the show from Sly. the
latter tlly with any sort of a fair start
would have proven an easy winner.
The Hindoo horse Pepper appeared to
be the real thing for the mile and a fur
long run, and even if he was in receipt of
little assistance from one or two of the
other starters, came home with the coin.
He WAS played from threes down to II to
5, and taking the lead in the stretch won
easily, over length in front of George
Palmer, the second choice. Hermanita
could have won, but finished third.
Several "uncorkings" occurred in the
seven-furlong run next decided. San.
tuzza was played down, Fullerton Lass
received backing and King William was
another cutaway. Roadwarmer, the Ii to
choice, spoiled it all by going ont in
front and. never headed. passed the wire
a length in advance of King William, Old
Mulberry took the show.
With Piggott in the saddle Lobengula
was hot favorite for the last race, at one
mile and sixteenth, and setting the pace
from the outset won very handily from
Peter the Second, with the 100 to l shot
Charles A securing the show.

MRS. FERRY's FURNITURE,

John w. Finn Indu1ging in Some Liti-
cation Over the Property.
The suit of John w. Finn against Mrs.
Evelyn. P. Ferry was tried before a jury
in Judge Hunts court on Monday.
Finn sued for $1,000 on account Of some
furniture and Mrs. Ferry responded by a
cross-com plant, claiming $4,000 because
she had been deprived of the use of the
same furniture mentioned in Flinn's &C
ton.
Attorney P. F. Dunno and r. H. Coun.
tryman appeared for the plaintiff and
Attorney Frank Shay represented the de-
fendant..
The difficulty grew out of the seizing OF
some furniture by Finn which was in the
possession of Mrs. Ferry at her house, 11O7
Bush street, this City. There was . mis-
understanding as TO the title to the prop
erty and Finn resolved those doubts in
his own favor by taking forcible possess
sion of the furniture. The Sheriff was
subsequently directed to cart tho goods
back 10 Mrs. Ferry, and in the legal scram-
BILE both sides found themselves to be
losers.
After spending several hours in consul
tatlon the jury returned verdict in favor
OF MRS. Ferry for $500.
