REV. EDWARDS DAVIS
 ON WAR IS HELL"
SENSATIONAL PREACHER HAS ONLY SIXTY-SIX AUDITORS.
He Varies His Discourse With Up- to-Date Slang and Low Com edy That Earns Ap-
 plause.

The Rev. Edwards Davis, whose eccen- tricities as a clergyman are familiar to the bay cities, delivered the second of his series of sermons at Metropolitan Temple last evening to an audience of sixty-six people, of whom five were re- porters. This is quite an increase over the attendance of last Sunday.
 His subject was announced as being War Is He'll" with apologies to General Sherman, and he on that line advocated the policy of sheathing the sword and waging the war of mind over evil. While believing the present con f1ict with Spain was inevitable, he declared that the, great battles that must eventually be fought by this country would be internal-that of the masses against the classes; of intelli- gence against the oppression of religion. He thought, notwithstanding his personal attitude, that there was not enough free dom of thought and action in America
 The discourse was in some parts thoughtful and interesting, but discon- nected and interspersed with low comedy digressions the reception Of which by the audience showed that he Is regarded as a much better actor in the monologue class than preacher The latest current slang seems to come naturally to him, and there is no fault to find with his art in handling dialect During his remarks the speaker expressed some very disagreeable

Police Officer O'Calli-
 hans BIunder.
ARRESTS A DECENT WOMAN
MRS. HENDERSON SEIZED ON
 HER WAY HOME.
Judge Conlan, on Learning of Her Sad Predicament, at Once Orders Her Release From Gus
 tody.

Policeman M. O'Callihan of the South ern Station will in all probability have to answer to a charge of unofficer-like con- duct at the next meeting of the Police Commissioners.
 Late Saturday night he arrested re- spectable, middle-aged woman. one Mrs. Henderson, and charged her with va grancy. Police Judge Conlan, who Is ac- quainted with the woman, on learning of her arrest last night, at once ordered her release on her own recogniZance.
 According to the story of the unfortu- nate woman, she was walking along Ste- venson street, and when within few feet of her home she was arrested by OCalll- han who asked her where she was going. home. whereupon the officious policeman placed her under arrest. Despite her en, treaties to release her O'Callihan marched her to the nearest patrol box, where he sent in cali for the wagon. A few min utes later the woman was placed in the wagon and driven to the City Prison, where she was charged with VagrSncy.
 Yesterday afternoon an attorney named Comyn visited the prison, and recogniz- ing Mrs. Henderson, with whom ne IS ac- quainted, asked her the cause of her de- tention After listening to her story he immediately hunted up Judge Conlan, to whom he told the circumstances Of the woman's arrest. The Judge was indig- nant when he learned of the policeman S mistake, and at once issued an order for Mrs. Hendersons release.
 To reporter Mrs. Henderson said she was a dressmaker and had worked for a number of years as such in Judge Con- lan's family.
 Last Saturday" she tearfully re- marked, 'I received note from Mrs. Mo Donald, who lives on Fourteenth street, asking me if I could spare day to make a dress for her daughter. I went to her house immediately after receiving the note, and remained there until after 10 o'clock in order to finish the dress. l then took a Mission-street car and alight-- ed at Fourth street. After 1 had reached Stevenson street I walked down that thoroughfare on my way home. When was within a few feet of my house I was accosted by the policeman who arrested me. He asked me where was going, and when I replied he grabbed me by the arm and half dragged me to the nearest patrol-wagon box. I have always been a hard working woman, and can prove 1t by Judge Conlan and his family. intend to make this officer suffer just to show him that he cannot arrest a respectable woman simply because she happens to be out late.

SOLEMNIZATION OF
 CORPUS CHRISTI
IMPRESSIVE SERVICE IN THE
 CATHOLIC CHURCHES.
The Object of the Feast and Its Origin-Forty Hours Devotion
 at the Cathedral.

The feast of Corpus Christi was cele- brated in the Catholic churches through out the city yesterday with special and impressive solemnity.
 The celebration, which has it origin in the institution of the Eucharist the night before the death of Christ (Holy Thurs day) lis deferred from special observance from holy week until the first Sunday after Pentecost that il might be more fit- tingly celebrated. The ceremony Is es- sentially a work of the church. In the thirteenth century there was only one Eucharistic feast, that of Holy Thursday. In l246, however, a special feast was es- tablished in honor of the Eucharist. A sacred bull was issued by Pope Urban " and subsequently confirmed by Clement V, commanding the celebration of spe- cial feast on the Thursday fonowing the first Sunday of Pentecost. The day, however, has been changed from Thurs day to Sunday for observance and is no longer one of the holy days of obligation in the Catholic Church.
 The services yesterday at St. Mary s Cathedral were doubly impressive, as combined with the celebration of Corpus Christi was the observance of the forty hours devotion. Solemn high mass was solemnized at II o'clock by the Rev. Father Hannigan, assisted by Father as sub-deacon. An eloquent sermon on the subject of the Holy Eucharist and the object of the celebration of it's in- stitution as a special feast was delivered by the Rev. J. Prendergast.
 Immediately after mass procession of the aisles of the church by the clergy, the brothers from the Sacred Heart Col lege and fifty acolytes.

An Address by Rev. Charles Locke
 Before the Y. M. c. A.

Charles Edward Locke delivered a lecture before the Young Mems Chris tian Association yesterday afternoon on 'eThe Mission of America" After tracing the history of the country from it's dis covery to the present day and showing that the great principles of freedom and liberty pervaded all the signal struggles of, our people, he said: To-day we face a heavier responsibility than at any tune since the war of 1S61 We have again discovered that God has something for us to do. We have not merely to re lteve the sufferings of a few reconcen- trados but to breathe the spirit of liberty to a people who have been buried under the iron hoof of medievalism and stagna. dom to the people who live in the Pacific isles and to those of the Atlantic. This is our mission, as it has been since the beginning of our progressive Govern ment."

The house then entered upon the con-

minor private bills, was disposed of at
the opening of the session of the house
today. The debate upon the bill to

Bell, Populist, Of Colorado, opposed
the measure. He took the ground
that it was both unconstitutional and
against good public policy. The bill
was buried by an overwhelming ad-
verse majority. The bill to extend

OF the United States over the Hawaii
