SEASON
HAS OPENED
Services in Catholic and
Episcopal Churches
Yesterday.
Ashes Were Blessed and Put
on the Heads Of Devout
Ones.
Tho Rules and Regulations for Lent
Issued by His Grace tho
Archbishop.

Yesterday marked the opening of the
forty days of fasting and prayer known
as the Lenten season. The season
opened with Ash Wednesday, and in
all the Catholic churches masses were
celebrated and ashes were blessed and
put on the foreheads Of the devout. In
the Episcopal churches services were
also held at 7:30 a. m. and 1880 a. m.
and at 4:30 p. M. In the evening
united service was held at Trinity
Church, the regular order Of evening
prayer being followed, the services be-
ing read by the Rev. H. E. Cooke, the
new pastor of Trinity, and the SER
mon preached by Rev. r. c. Foute of
Grace Church.
At st. Luke's there will be services
every day during the season Of pen
ance at $50 in the morning and 4:30
In the afternoon. It is intended dur
ing the Lenten season to hold union
services each Wednesday evening in
some one Of the Episcopal churches.
The pastors of the various churches
in which these services will take place
will have charge; the sermons to be
preached are as follows: March 2, St
Johns, Rev. w. H. Moreland; March
8, Church of the Advent, Rev. Henry
e. Cooke; March 16. ST. Luke's, Rev
E. j. Lion; March %, st. Pauls, Rev

VT is admitted on every side that
semi-centennial exposition in lsoO
tocommemorate the fiftieth anniver-
i sary of our Statehood would prove
a far greater success than the Mid
winter Fair, which proved OF such
great and lasting benefit TO the entire
Pacific Slope.
The Midwinter Fair was the means
of drawing attention to our climate
and resources. That it was a success
is shown by the fact that many who
visited us out of curiosity and In search
of amusement decided to make their
homes in California. Trade in gen
eral was benefited and many people
of wealth were so impressed with our
climate and resources that they In
vested their capital in our State.
We have already secured many as
suramces of aid from our neighboring
States, and all that now remains TO be
done is place the matter in the hands
of committee of public-spirited citi-
zens who are willing to devote the time
and energy necessary to the consum-
nation of the project suggested by The
Call. That the interior of the State
is in hearty accord with the movement
has been shown by the editorial ex-
pressions of the press outside of San
Francisco.
No time should be lost. Let the
necessary committee be appointed, the
preliminary work taken in hand and
success awaits the Exposition of 1900.

and he (Colnon) wanted a full board
present when the contract was made.
From the apparent agitation of the
agent of the Howard Clock people he
was afraid that something was wrong,
and when both bids were rejected and
new bids called for he was particularly
active. He is said to have been very
diligent in his inquiries as to the best
way of making a favorable impress
sion on the board.
How successful he was in this Is
matter of conjecture. The preparation
of the second set of specifications was
duly made by Architect Edward r.
Swain, and was submitted to the Off
Gals of the board. Although few know
it, there was a little joker in the new
set that made competition impossible
Certain clock machinery and move
ments found only in the Howard clock
were called for in the set presented by
Mr.. Swain, who, 1t is said, was unable
to modify his own plans away from his
office. This objection was finally over
come, and on October 26 the new bids
were opened. The Seth Thomas clock
people stood pat on their old figure,
s4250, but the Howard Clock Company's
agent created a surprise by lowering
his own bid to $500, or $500 under. This
company got the contract and con-
tractor who was sitting near the agent
for the successful clock company said,
We'll, you made it, / see"
The agents answer was: "Of course
I got it. l saw the right party and had
1t fixed"
Commissioner Harvey spoke to the
agent of the defeated clock company
and said he was sorry the figures were
so far apart, as he preferred the works
of the Seth Thomas, and asked. ITO
what do you attribute the difference in
the fgures?"
ITO the Interpretation that Architect
Swain puts on the specifications. If
these are lived up to to the letter and
spirit of the paper the successful bid
der will come out behind" answered w
NJ. Fonda, the agent. Later on he said
that his company could not do the work
at the price offered by the other bidders
and put in good materials. The inter
probation the architect puts on the
| specifications is being closely watched
| by several persons who are determined
that there shall be no shoddy work
done Under the contract the archi-
tect shall be at liberty to order any al
| terations, additions or deductions OF
| any kind, giving his order in writing
countersigned by the Harbor Commits
sioners, and the contract shall not be
invalidated by such act"
That the successful bidders are evil
IDENTIFY on the right track is manifest
by the fact that this company has
| given an additional contract to furnish
| twenty subsidiary clocks and the wir-
ing Of the building so that these may
operate in unison with the master clock
in the tower. The price stated fol
these twenty subsidiary clocks is SCI
| at $50 apiece, which is calculated to g,
a long way toward easing up on the
strain of the low contract on the bis
clock. Then there Is the wiring, mat
ter Of no small consideration when il
Is taken into consideration how profit.

Clouds Of Suspicion
Rise Over the New

Believes a "Cookoo" Is
in the Big Tower
Timepiece.
A Contractor Saw the Right
Person and His Bid Was
Very Low.

AS the investigation into the scan
dals Of the Harbor Commission pro-
crosses 1t seems as If the field of hood
ling becomes broader and there is
nothing too small in the matter of per-
ouisites for some of the city-front
combine to pass by. Late developments
cause the finger of suspicion to be
pointed in the direction of the big
clock that is to become a part Of the
tower of the new ferry building.
There are quite a number of peo-
pie who are satisfied that there is
something strange in connection with
the construction of the timepiece. This
suspicion has been intensified by the
remark of the agent of one of the
clock companies, who said: Il have
seen the right party and the thing is
fixed all right"
Some months ago the Harbor Com
missioners advertised for bids on the
clock on the tower, and on August Is
the bids, two in number, were opened
One was from the Seth Thomas Clock
Company, and the other was from the
Howard Clock Company. The bid OF
the Thomas Company was $425O. ano
that of the Howard Company $4242. OF
IS under the first. Why the contract
was not awarded at the time is not
known, beyond the reason given by
Commissioner Colnon that Commits
sioner Chadbourne was not present

he could have the chance he would tell
of things that would change the COM
plexion of the case. He was not gwen

malls of any knowledge OF now the

After Mr.. Wheatley had left the court
room he was asked what II was IN the
way Of evidence he was prevented from
giving on the stand. He said the nght
Of the Paraff1ne Paint Company was
not actuated wholly by justice I'D
bringing the action, but that IL was
more in a spirit Of revenge, because
the Paraffine Company had lost pat
rorase IL had controlled Tor years.
Wheatley stated that after the tnlro SET
Of specifications had been made out
President Moore of the Parafflne Paint
Company went to Mr.. Dundon and
made a proposition of very qu@s-
tionable nature. According 10 MS
ST Dry Mr.. Moore told Dundon that II
was no use for the two concerns 10
fight for the patronage or the Harpor
Commission, and that the san Fran
cisco Timber Preserving Company
Dundon would allow the Paramne
Company a "divy" on the profits OF
the creOsoting.
He made the further statement that
Moore suggested that the price or Gre
osoting could be run up so that there
would be fat profit to both Wheatiey
asserted that Moore offered to drop
all matters relating to the injunction
proceedings and suit If his offer were
accepted. Wheatley said Dundon in
dignantly refused to entertain the Of
fer, and told Moore that the Paraffine
Paint Company was not In
position to make terms to his COM
pany, not having a creosoting plant,
and further. that he would rather
make his own profits at the present
prices than increase the price and share
with some one else.
r. s. Moore last evening stated that
he had long since come to the conclu-
sion that Dundon had an unusually
strong pull with the Harbor Commits
sioners, and also concluded that 1t
was useless for the Paraffine Paint
Company to waste it's energies endeav-
| oring to secure any portion of the har-
Dor work IL Dundon wanted it, He
therefore decided to sound Dundon to
ascertain of what his apparent pro-
prietorship consisted.
Mr.. Dundon was asked II he would
consent to divide the work so that the
Paraff1ne Company could get at least
small portion Of it in It's line. Dun
don answered that If he had been seen
sooner he would willingly have made
such an arrangement. Dundon further
stated that as soon as the Paraff1ne
| Company demonstrated to him that II
| had plant and was prepared to &c
into the creosotfng business he would
be glad to consider any arrangement
for dividing the work.

natural advantages Of the State can
be depended upon to do the rest. The
great Christian Endeavor Convention
proved the willingness OF people to
take advantage of every opportunity
to come to this coast. The Call is now
arousing public interest in an EXPOSE
ton for 1900, and a better occasion
could not have offered. In that year
California will have completed fifty
years of existence as a State. and a
great jubilee exposition would attract
tens of thousands of people. The en-
terprising spirit of Mr.. Spreckels' pa
per deserves to be encouraged by
every citizen who has any desire to
further the prosperity of California. In
many countries the time between now
and 1900 would be considered too short
to prepare for an international expo
sition, but California does not follow
the rest Of the world, but is inclined
to go ahead of it. Pull together for

have always been in favor of expositions
such as The Call is exploiting, and certainly
reason why should not be in favor of this one |
believe that every citizen who desires the advance
ment of our State should realize the benefits to be
attained by holding such an exhibition and should
consequently work unfateringy in its behalf.
would like to see the solid business men take
hold of the project, and take hold in such manner
that there would be no possibility of failure, for
they are interested probably to a greater extent
than anybody else in proposition of that kind for
they would feel the effects of the good times that
would naturally follow the holding of such an
exposition. Nor should the fact that the good times
might be only of a temporary nature deter them
from lending their support to the plan, for it is
more than probable that many of the good effects
resulting therefrom could be made lasting and per-
manent. The people that the fair would bring to
our State might be so avorably impressed with the
many advantages which it possesses that they
would be induced to settle here for all time For
there is no doubt that this great and roomy State
is in need of larger population to feed on its
abundant resources.
Let us have the exposition, then, and count on
me to do all in my feeble power to help the grand
and good work. lSlDORE CUTIE.
