 He believes that he has not been fair ly treated. in spite of the night he has made against the majority and control ling element in the board, and that he should have been retained as chairman of the Elementary committee in spite or all that has happened. Should his

At St. Ignatius Church last evening Father Hickey spoke of the feast of the Epiphany. Where is he that was born King of the Jews?" were his first words, and he followed on the birth of Christ and the guiding star which had been seen, and satisfied those who were in search of the Savior.
 The story was again told of the son of Mary, who had died to save sinners and the teachings which have followed his ascent into heaven. Then death was spoken of and the hope of life where his teachings were needed. Be ing the first Sunday following the Epi- phany, as well as the closing of the holidays, special music had been pre- pared.

 Secretary GodchauX of the Board of Health was in his office the greater part of the day yesterday, but no word was received from the Durrant family: not even was the death certi- ficate filed. As nothing can be done with the remains until this has been done and the necessary permit has been granted, a decision will have to be reached by the parents of the youthful assassin within the next few hours.
 It was stated by a friend of the fam fly that they were waiting to hear from the Los Angeles Crematory people be- fore making their decision. Up to last night no reply had been received tC Mir.

 Antonovich arrived in San Francisco in 1851, being one of the crew or the ship Flying Cloud that made that re- markable voyage from New York to San Francisco in eighty-eight days Arriving in this city he opened res taurant on the city front, which he conducted for forty year . while at the same time he invested il, mining stock and accumulated considerable property During all of his many years in thi: | city his greatest pride was in being an American citizen.
 His remains were taken to St. Fran cis' Church where religious services were held by Father Giles prior to thos afterward held by the Illyric Society a | the grave, where A. Maluvich, the sec
