A Most Unusual Amount of Patronage

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 3.-Present indi-
cations are that the legislature will or
ganize in both houses tomorrow despite
the efforts which have been made to
balk such proceedings The opposition
to Perkins for the United States senator
ship is much weaker than it was at first
thought it would be and old politicians
are now saying that Perkins will win
in an easy canter. This afternoon the
Republicans of the assembly held eau
Gus at which it was decided that Frank
l.. Coombs of Napa should be speaker.
Brewster c.. Kenyon, of Long Beach,
was selected for speaker pro tenn. S. j.
Ducllworth was decided upon as chief
clerk and w G. Hawkett to be assistant.
In the senatorial caucus Thomas Flint,
jr., was selected to be president pro tenn.
Frank j. Brandon was decided upon as
chief clerk and Leslie Blackburn for
sergeant-at- and M. J. Caffey as
sistant sergeant-at-arms. The senate
caucus appointed a committee to settle
the matter of patronage with instruc-
tions to report at 10 o'clock tomorrow
morning.
Both houses meet at noon tomorrow.
1t is common talk here tonight that the
senators are to receive patronage
amounting to $50 per day and that the
per diem patronage of the asSemblage
will be $13. This will give each Republi-
can senator and assemblyman a com.
mittee clerk. The chaplains, sergeant
alarms and chief clerks come out of the
patronage at large. No chaplains have
yet been named.
Frank l.. Coombs, who will be speaker
of the house, said tonight that as far as
he was able to learn, organization would
be effected tomorrow. w. b. Hamilton,
who is making Perkins fight for senator,
is of the same opinion.
The United States senator must be
ballotted for on the second Tuesday after
the convening of the legislature. Should
1t happen that organization is not effect
ed tomorrow baloting would be COM
menced on the 10Th instead of the 18th,
and the agony would be prolonged for a
week.

SACRILEGIOUS THIEVES.
Steal a Communion Service From an
Oakland Church.

OAKLAND, Jan. 3-The communion
service of Sacred Heart church was stol-
en- by irreverent thieves last night. They
stripped the tabernacle on the altar of
all its vessels and carried the safe. which
contained most of the service, to a con-
venient point near the church, where
they blew it up. The work as evidently
done by experts. The crime as not dis
covered until this morning.
Tine principal articles stolen are a
silver chalice taken from the safe, two
ciboriums also of silver and a silver pa
ten. Melted down, the value of the sill
Yer would hardly exceed 500 Sacred
Heart church was robbed in a similar
manner six years ago, and Father l..
Serda, the pastor, said this morning that
it was possible that both robberies were
committed by the same thieves. The
church was recently presented with a
very valuable communion service, and
it is thought that was what the thieves
were after.

EDITOR M'CULLAGH BURIED
Amid Scenes Expressive of Affection
and Deep Grief
The Dead Man Had No Special Relig-
ious Convictions, but Bore Kind
Heart in His Breast

ST. LOUIS, Mo. Jan. 3.-Service over
the remains of Mr.. Joseph B. McCullagh,
editor of the GlobeDemocrat, who died
last week as the result of an accident,
were held this afternoon at the residence
of his sister-in-law, Mrs. Manion.
Rain had been falling all day without
intermission and the weather was cold,
but thstanding this there was a
large attendance of the friends and ad
mirers OF Mr.. McCullagh.
Mr.. McCullagh's remains, which lay
in a casket of cedar covered with black
broadcloth, were in the parlor, surround
ed by many evidences of love and es-
TEEN in the way of floral offerings. Some
time before the hour set for the serv-
ices a considerable number of persons
passed before the casllet and viewed the
remains. on top of the plain casket
their eyes met d square silver plate on
which was the Inscription, "At Rest,
Joseph 4. McCullagh."
Promptly at o'clock a quartette be-
gan the services by singing Cardinal
Newman's hymn, Lead, Kindly Light.
Rev. John Snyder, pastor of the Unita
rian church of the Messiah, read the
Twenty-third Psalm, beginning, THE
l-OIu Is NY SHeptEu.
At the conclusion of this he paid a
beautiful tribute to the dead in few
well chosen words. Among other things
he told of the almost countless good
deeds he had known Mr.. McCullagh to do
in secret. He touched on the religious
views of the deceased. He did not know
if Mr.. McCullaSh had any special re-
ligious convictions, but he was not fear
full for his friend. He had helped the
poor: he had lifted up the fallen, and in
the last day when all men shall stand
before their Maker for judgment, the
speaker felt sure his friend would be
among the blessed ones to whom would
be spoken the words: well done, thou
good and faithful servant"
Come Unto Me was then sung by
Quartette and a prayer by Rev. w. w
Boyd Of the Second Baptist church
ended the services.
AS the casket was being borne to the
hearse the quartette sang, Beyond the
Smiling and the Weeping.
The active pallbearers were members
of the Democrat editorial staff
and heads Of departments. Among the
honorary pallbearers We're the editors OF
the other St. Louis papers and men
prominent in political and business life
in this city. Hon. Henry Watterson,
editor of the Louisville Courier Journal
was the orly one from out of town.
AmGrg those in attendance from out
of town We're Mrs. Rachel Sutter from
Brooklyn. n. Y, and Mrs. w. b. Arm
strong of Chicago, sister and niece re-
spectively of Mr.. McCullagh The in
terment was at Bellfontaine cemetery.
