 The Pickett woman was for long time a pal of the notorious May Bonner, who was run out of the country by a threat ehed prosecution several months ago. The last victim of this precious pair was an old man from Tulare County whom they encountered on Market street one night last summer, and enticed into doorway on Grant avenue, where they relieved his pockets. of S200. The visitor soon discoy- cred his loss, and. enlisting the aid of the police, had the women arrested. They managed to escape punishment by re- IundlnS the money on an agreement with their victim that they should not be prosecuted This plan was worked by these operators, singly and as a team in numerous instances where the exigency Of the case seemed to demand such a sacrifice on their part.
 About six months later Annie was brought up with a round turn in the police court and given the choice be- tween leaving the country and taking a long term behind the bars She chose the exile form of punishment and left for the East. After abiding for a season in Bos- ton and New York, she returned to this Clty several weeks ago, although she has been laying low since her arrival She was recently apprehended, however, and arrested on charge of vagrancy.

Rev. w. E. Dugan Draws Deductions Regarding
 His Fate.
He Declares That Appeals Were Made to the Wrong
 Tribunals.
Thinks Christ Was Neglected in Early Life-A synonym for the
 Subject.

Theodore Durrant is dead-in body. But in the minds of the preachers he lives yet, lives as an everlasting ex- ample at which to point the moralizing finger.
 The first thus to draw deductions that will attract the attention of the public in any marked degree Is the Rev. ". F. Dugan, pastor of Stewart Memorial Church, Guerrero street, near Twenty third. The reverend gentle man not only thought that Durrants spiritual nature must have been neg lected in early life, but believed 1t so strongly that the title of his sermon The Cry of That Fathers Heart for His Son." might well have been, "Of Ali Sad Words of Tongue or Pen, the Saddest are These, It Might Have Been" The subject was taken rom John iv:49
 "The man whom the text treats of, he said, was a nobleman holding a position of wealth and power, but neither of these had any charms for the iron heart of death. The curtains were drawn, there was a hush in the house, the child was at the point of death, and in an agony of despair the man went to Christ with the cry of his heart for the life of his son.
 When Theodore Durrant had been arrested and taken into the courts or this city and that web of circumstance had been drawn tightly around nm which ended in his conviction and fin- ally in his notwithstanding all this time that mothers heart was going out in yearning, in earnest pleading to the courts of San Francisco, to the Gov ernor of our State, to the authorities at Sacramento. to the authorizes at Washington, and to every one from whom there was any hope of deliver ance from the awful fate that lay be- fore her boy, but she was pouring out her lamentations and petitions to those who had no power to give her back her son.
 Had she with as mucn yearniug of heart gone to God with that boy in his teens, the incident which has placed a blot on the record of that family, and has been the noted criminal case of the century, never would have hap pened Jesus Christ is the only one who has power to bring deltVerance to those who are troubled. That is the source to which she should have gone earlier in his life, before the pro- cess of spiritual death and decay had it's inception"
 The rest of the pastors sermon dealt in generalities. He was listened to with the closest attention by his au- dience and at the conclusion of the service many pressed forward to con graduate him on the way he had treated his theme.

IESUITS HONOR

Celebrate Solemn High Mass in Honor of the Sacred
 Name.
Archbishop RiOrdan Delivers a Ser mon on the Subject of
 Christ.

Solemn high mass was celebrated at St Ignatius' Church yesterday morning in honor of the feast of the Sacred Name of Jesus.
 His grace, Archbishop Riordan, deliv- cred an eloquent sermon at the mass on the subject of Christ and his life. touch ing the earliest institution of the church and its remarkable existence to the pres ent day, after nineteen hundred years of steady growth, since the birth of the Savior.
 Christ, when he came into the world put himself into a three-fold aspect, % said the preacher, fin the way of the world, and the way of eternal life"
 The speaker then entered a long dis cussion on the history of the church from its foundation to the present time, and stood upon since its creation, outliving the rise and fall of temporal dynasties and the birth growth. and death of Vari- ous system of philosophy.
 ''Of all the systems that man has ever tried" said the preacher, mot one can outlive the everlasting system that Christ has founded and incorporated into his holy church.
 The concluding remarks of the sermon were devoted to a beautiful tribute to the Jesuit priests, the good work they have accomplished and the assistance they have rendered to the Archbishop and the diocese over which he governs.
 The mass was celebrated by the Rev. Father Vossi, he being assisted by the Rev. Father Buckley as deacon and Father Carroll as .sub-deacon:s Father Mulligan, from St Mary's Cathedral acted as master of ceremonies; he was assisted by Father Butler.
 The altars were decorated beautifully with white roses and myriads of wax candles. Riga'S mass was chanted by a choir of forty male voices, accompanied by the new organ.

Photographers P Unable to Score Against Their Clever
 Opponents.
{" Brother" Joe COrbett Struck Out With Three Men on Bases.
 Other Games.

If Photographer Bushnell could have caught snap shot of the look of dis consolation that Temporary Manager Bob Mitchell wore In the eighth inning of yesterdays game, when the Santa Cruz team were parading the bases and the players under his chaperonage were afflicted with such an aggravated case of rattles that they forgot the first rudiments of the game. he would need no more to dabble in the national sport for the sale of a picture of genial Bob's countenance would have been a veritable Klondike.
 During the first part of the game Bobs smile was like a ray of sunshine, which seemed to overspread the crowd suffusing it with warmth. Bushnell had turned over the management of his team to him for the day, and Bob al lowed himself to indulge in not few dreams Of returning to his superior with the glad tidings of Vitory. But when the Santa Cruz team began to hammer MT. Moskiman around the lot the smile gradually disappeared, giving way to a look of sorrow painful to be- hold.
 Alert sympathizers lay the blame of the teams defeat to auburn haired Bill" Devereaux, whom they charge with carrying the remains of his mus tache in his bosom, and which acted as a potent influence.
 Whatever the cause was, the Alerts were defeated and badly at that Al though errors were made in plenty the game was an interesting one, and was much enjoyed by the fans. Both teams were strengthened for the occasion with players who have made names in the baseball world. The Alerts played Lange of Reliance Brother Joe" Cor bett of the Baltimores and Iberg of the California Markets. In the Santa Cruz ranks were Peoples of the Olympics, Stulz and Borland of Reliance and Doyle of the Santa Claras.
 Santa Cruz was the more fortunate in having men who could bat, and Ow- ing to this fact they gained their vic tory.
 Up to the eighth inning Iberg pitched great ball, allowing only seven hits off his delivery and striking out six men, three of them succumoing to his skill he gave way to MOskiman in the sev- enth. and from that time the Alerts' chances dwindled.
 Three runs were all that Santa Cruz could stack up to the eighth inning, and twice during the game the Alerts came near evening the score, but luck was against them.
 Brother Joe" had an excellent chance to distinguish himself in the bases, but all he could do was to fan out.
 Borland's heavy batting and 1 Schmeer's many errors were the only other noticeable incidents of the game
 Following is the score:
