USHERED OUT THE
YEAR WITH PRAYER
SOLEMN MIDNIGHT SERVICE AT
ST. LUKE'S.
Rev. W. H. Moreland breaches an
Eloquent Sermon Fraught With
Warning and Suggestion
for the Future.

In marked contrast to the uproar and
hurIy-burly Of the streets last night was
the soIemnity which pervaded the vart-
Gus sacred edifces and awed the vast con-
gregations into silence and retrospectton
as the old year hastened 10 its close
AS it IS wont TO be on such occasions,
St. Luke's Church was crowded TO its
very doors, many perhaps having been
drawn thither By the thought that 1t
would be the last time they would hear
the admouttions Of the, Rev. ". H. More
land as their rector at New Years eve
service. In. the appearance OF the church,
however, there was no touch: OF sadness
the decorations OF last Sunday still hang
ing in graceful wreath and fold and the.
myriad lights from cluster ard corona.

corner Of the building =. Shortly before

forth a. soft prelude. which placed the
souls OF. the listeners n harmony with
the place and.the hour, FOR. who can feel
aughC but sadness when an old friend

At twenty minutes after Il the choir
and clergy were in their places the OPEN

ened form Of evening prayer. Begin. The
PRAYER concluded, the hymn, "A Few
More Years Shall Roll was beautifully y.
voices, the. boys Of the choir not. being
called upon TO offciate at the late. SER
vice. The rector, Rev w H. MoTelaud,
then began. his brief discourse, Choosing
as his text, from St PsuIs epistle to.phe
Corinthians, the words, The time is
short"
The preacher first addressed his hear
ers on the brevity Of: human life.. Though
time is short, eternity IS long, and it is
necessary that We all should be. prepared
when called upon 10 make the exchange.
The sneaker urged the. need of making
good use Of the present, and went, on to
present, as manhood depends upon our
youUn. It. is necessary 10 put away all
that. has been evil in the old life, so. as
TO enter bravely and hopefully. into the
new year:
When within a minute Of the hour of
midnight. the preacher paused and asked
the congregation TO Join with him in
kneeliug before the throne Of God in silent
supplieation- Instantly this posture was
assumed by all present and a solemn still
ness filed. the building until broken by
the noises and disC0rds Of the outer world
which greeted the advent OF 1889. Re
suming his address, Mr.. Moreland pre-
sented his greetings to the congregation,
wishing one and all I happy and glad
New Year. The 'DoxolOgy was heartily
sung by choir and congregation, after
which came the closing hymn:
Come, my soul. thou must be waking;
Now Is breaking Ger the earth another day o
The benediction was then given and the
worshipers dispersed to exchange New
Years greetings in the noisy and Uumul-

TWO RALLooNIsTs.
The Coast Champion and an Amateur
at the Mission Zoo To-day.

The principal attraction on to-day's bill
at Glen Park, the Mission Zoo, will be q
double balloon ascension by Charles Con-
lon, the champion aerouaut of the coast,
and a Mission lad who is anxious to be-
come an aeronaUt.
The young man in question has not yet
made & balloon ascension, but as he is a
clever trapeze performer and a daring
boy his performance to-day viii probably
be very interesting. The two balloons
will leave the ground at the same mo-
ment, side by side, and ConlOn viii en-
deavor to keep within speaking distance
of his companion, that he may instruct
him how to manage his balloon and when
to cut loose TO descend to earth by means
of his parachute.
A big bill has been prepared for the
free amphitheater. Al Hazard, the cele-
brated ventriloquist; NJ. Fletcher and
daughter Edith, the comedians; feats OF
hand balancing by Arnaldo and the Saw

be the principal attractions.
A week from to-day will be amateur
day at Glen Park. The regular profess
sional vaudeville talent, however, will be
run in connection with the amateurs in
the free vaudeville amphitheater. One
day in each month hereafter will be set

H1TE LOSES FIRST POINT.
The. Mine Owner Must Pay the In
dian Woman ATimony.

John r. Hire; the wealthy owner Of the
Hite mine in Marfposa County, has re-
cejved his first setback in the divorce case
in which the Indian woman. Lucy Hite,
figures as the plaintiff. The Supreme
Court has affirmed. the order Of the lower
court allowing alimony and counsel fees
TO the woman.
This is destined to be one of the famous
divorce cases Of the. State. AS the story
but little luck in his line of occupation
until he met the Indian woman. 1t is said
that on account OF some Kindness shown
by the man to the Indian woman she
led him to the gold ledge that has since
turned out to be one Of the richest min
ing properties in the southern part OF the
State. He and the woman lived together
for years, and she was known as Mrs.
Hite. To them a son was born and the
family prospered.
A year or so ago the old miner, tired OF
his Indian companion, and having plenty
or money decided to take unto himself as
wife maiden Of his own color. He
was fortunate in getting the consent Of
a young woman In Oakland, one who had
been well reared and cared for. This
brought the Indian woman, Lucy, to the
front with a divorce suit and q demand
for her share CT the community property.
Being in need OF money with which 10
carry on the proceedings, she asked the
court to grant her alimony and counsel
fees. To this Hite objected, taking the
position that the platnGR was not his
wife, but the court granted the woman $
request
From this Hite appealed to the Supreme
Court The latter tribunal rendered a de-
cisiou unfolding the order of the lower
court II said that II the Indian woman
is not Hite's wife she is not entitled to
the consideration prayed for, but II she is
she should have the means of main
tanning herself and pursuing her action.
The higher court declined TO go into the
merits of the relations between the
nartfes in interest. and the ruling was
made upon the ground that in making
the original order for alimony and fees
the lower court must have had some evi-
to sue as the wife Of Hite.

Gold Medal Presented BY His Holiness Pope Leo
XIII 10 Monsieur Angelo Mariani Of Paris.
Who has not read the many unsolIc-
tied testimonials received by Monsieur
Mariani from noted personages? En-
perors, Princes, physicians and prelateS
have sounded the keynote Of praise in
gratitude for benefits obtained. 1t has
been a chorus Of thanksgiving and ap-
probation, and now, as q croWning tes-
timoniaI, comes the message of graft
tude from His Holiness the Pope, who,
having used Vim Mariani." found it
sustaining and health giving. Not sat
isfed with merely expressing thanks to
Monsieur Mariani, as will be seen from
the above letter, His Holiness has been
pleased to graciously confer most
beautiful Gold Medal upon the scien-
tific producer of the health giving Vim
