gan: We present this testimonial of our sin
cerest regard and best wishes at a moment
filled with deepest concern to US, to whom you
have for the period of seventeen years min
istered with the inhexble integrity and rigid
honor of the man, tempered by the sublime ten
derness and devotion of the father. While we
hall your preferment with heartest acclaim
we do so with many heart pangs. Many of us
have brought our trials and troubles to you
constantly through the entire period of your
ministry here. In these years have been
appreciatfve witnesses and recipients of your
bounty. In moments of direst need have you
stood the rock upon which we might cast our
burdens and in the sunshine of your goodness
and bengnity have risen from the slough
of despond and walked the path which leads to
good endeavor and attendant happiness.
: We desire dear father to recall particularly
your work among the condemned. Your per
sonality and precept have been the beacons
their voyage to eternity. They have laid their
weary burdens upon your broad shoulders while
their souls have winged their way to that para
disc our holy church has prepared for all her
faithful and loyal communicates.
We ask a benediction on you, dearest father,
and may you ever be mindful that amid the
scenes of desolaton and distress so dear to
YOU are to be found hearts loyal and leal,
whose voices shall continually rise in invoca-
tion to heaven for blessings upon your de-
voted head. -

AUTHOR OF "MCTEAGUE"
TO WED A LOCAL BELLE

TRANK NORRIS, the celebrated
II California novelist, is soon TO be-
come a benedict. Yesterday the
= author went around and an
nounced that Miss Jeannette Black,
daughter Of Robert NJ. Black. the
well known mining man, had promised
TO make him the happiest of men.
Of the circumstances surrounding
the bethothal the groom-to-be had
nothing to say. In fact, happiness
made him dumb. Ali he would or
could vouchsafe was that no date for
the wedding had as yet been set, and
that Miss Black was charming and
accomplished.
Miss Black. who resides with her
parents at 1924 Octavia street. is San
Francisco girl.
Mr.. Norris is one Of the authors Cal
flor nia is most proud of. With very
little introduction to the reading public
the young writer sprang suddenly into
fame last year as the author Of
"McTeague.' a book that has acquired
a reputation abroad as well as at
home.

Inmates of San Quentin Send a
Touching Testimonial to
Father Lagan.

SAN QUENTIN PRISON. Aug. g.
When Rev Hugh Lagan departed for San
Francisco to assume the pastorate of
Sacred Heart parish he was given a re-
ception at the Hall Rafael, where several
prominent citizens paid the popular priest
a well-deserved eulogy for his broad
minded policy in both civic and religious
affairs. He was presented with two testi-
monials, one written and the other of a
more substantial nature.
From the convicts at the penitentiary
comes another testimonial-one from the
men he has comforted in the hour of their
adversely and sorrow. 1t is written not
in smooth. flowing phrase and the page
does not scintillate with the jewels of
language, but it's meaning and the sorrow
of the prisoners at the loss of the priest
is so plain that the document has not
failed to strike responsive chord in the
hearts of those who have been permitted
to read it. The testimonial was en-
crossed by a convict forger, who is an
expert penman, and reads in part as fol-

CUBAN DEBT QUESTIONS.
An Extension of Three Years Will Prob
ably Be Granted.

aDly BE Granted.
Washington, April 1s.-The cabinet
to-day devoted the entire session to
the consideration of the Cuban debt
representing the Cuban Planters asso-
citation has asked for general extern
sion of all credits from three to six
years and for ame1ioration of interest
rates.
The necessity of some extension of
the debts of the Cubans before crops
could be planted and reaped was recog-
nized by the president and every mem
Der of the cabinet.
Secretary Alger presented to the cab
met to-day a plan which provides for
a general extension of all debts for one
year, after which commissioners con-
sisting of a representative each Of the
creditor and debtor classes could, upon
hearing individual cases. grant further
extensions for a period not to exceed
three years, these commissioners to be
composed of native Cubans in each
province.
Appeals from the provincial commits
Sioners were to be allowable to a re-
viewing commission in Havana. Objec-
ton to the character of Secretary AL
gers plan developed upon discussion.
One of the main obstacles was that as
sugar crop could not be raised inside
of Is months, no loan could be raised
by planter for planting a crop with
the probability that in a year an old
creditor would step in with a foreclos-
ure. The commission plan for further
extensions was also objected to as be-
ing too complicated, and it was gener-
ally believed that it would be better to
grant straight extension of three
years. This would permit planters to
raise the money Immediately necessary
to plant and grow a crop and discharge
the immediate obligations before the
old debts matured. With such plan
it is believed the debtor and creditor
would be able to adjust their own diff
ferences as to deferred payments.
Secretary Alger was instructed to re-
wise his plan along the lines indicated,
and it would be presented to the next
meeting of the cabinet when Attorney
General Griggs will be present.
