farmer to the soil. How many
fields do we see on many farms
where save having been plowed
they remain as found when the
farm was first settled. Rocks and
stones remain and hillocks and
indentations are to be seen. There
is no effort made to drain wet
spots and hence no improvement.
Is it any wonder such farmers
complain of the hardness of the
times and OF the low prices.

LAST OF THE CIRCUS.
It Left Last Night for Redwood City
and San Jose.

Mains circus has gone, but it has left
a memory with those who saw it that will
insure a welcome for the show whenever
it chooses to return.
The final performance was given last
evening to as full a tent as has attended
the week under canvas. There was the
usual programme, but for those who
wished to linger there was the breaking
up of 1t all. The going away was a show
in itself, and there were many who took
advantage Of the opportunity and saw the
exhibition fold its tents and silently steal
away. There was no hurry, no rush, no
confusion. Every one knew just what to
do, and every ore had a duty to perform,
and while an outsider was wondering
away, the big tent collapsed and was
folded in sections, and then was off to
the cars waiting a block away. The seats
had gone before the show was well over,
and the menagerie had disappeared be-
fore the show was out The cook tent
went at dark; the acrobats and clowns
departed as soon as their acts were done,
and by l o'clock what had been all life
and action and canvas and men and
horses, was only the old familiar Six
teenth and Folsom street ball grounds,
with here and there a hole in the earth
where a tent peg had helped to hold up
the show. 1t was like the going of an
army.
While it was here the circus made it
with the people as a show than its man
ayers were with those they met In busi-
ness. They were wonders in their way
as well. as was the stdeshow. The man
in the ticket wagon. Warren A. Patrick.
was a worldbeater in his line. He holds
the record for selling tickets and for the
refusal Of bad money. He can sell more
tickets than any man living. by actual
count and in a shorter time, and in all his
career with Mains he has accepted only
$1.35 in unpassable coin. He will not take
bad money. He has a natural aversion
to it that has the added advantage of long
cultivation. William Sells, who has
owned circuses of his own, is also on the
staff as manager of Mains, and to his eff
forts is due much of the popularity the
show earned for itself And there is also
the press agent, J. D. Harrison whose
card is a guarantee of freedom with every
gatekeeper in the show and an assurance
of courtesy to every one whose business
leads him under the canvas.
The show will be in Redwood City to-
day and tonight and then it will go to
San Jose.

DEDICATED THE ORGAN
IN THE FRENCH CHURCH
THE CEREMONIES SOLEMN AND
IMPRESSIVE.
Mass Celebrated by Rev. Father
Roman, S. M.-Sacred Concert
in the Evening Concluded
the Dedication.

The grand organ recently constructed in
the French Church Of Notre Dame des
VICTORIES, on Bush street, was dedicated
yesterday morning with impressive cere-
monies. Solemn high mass was celebrated
by Rev. Father Roman, S. M, assisted by
Rev. Father Nuailles, S. S. c. c.. and
Father Feriol, S. S. G. c., as deacon and
sub-deacon. The predicant was Rev.
Father Hamet, S. M, who is in charge of
the parish. An interesting feature of the
services was the presence of fifty little
boys dressed in blue, white and red cos
tunes, who were stationed around the
altar rail.
Previous TO the commencement of the
mass the procession Of clergy and acolytes
moved toward the organ in the gallery and
the instrument was blessed and conse-
Grated to the service OF God by the cele-
brant. Returning TO the sanctuary Cim-
Orasa 5 beautiful mass was intoned by d
select and augmented choir under the
leadership of Professor S. Martinez, the
organist. The sopranos We're Mrs. G..
Garrissen and Miss l.. Bernard altos Mrs
l.. Plantard and Miss z. Hickey, tenorS
r. Hantuis and Charles Thrower. bassos
5. Fogarty and @. BOurnizeau. A violin
solo was played by Professor NJ. Loraza.
In his sermon Father Hamet took for
his subject the Love of God and Coun-
try" He referred to the fealty which
every man owed to the land that gave
MIN birth, and exhorted his hearers to
crown that commendable spirit by an un-
SWeTNlHg rove lOI uiElHe fTONlueLCe, 10
whom mankind owes everything, even his
very existence. His auditors were visibly
affected when the eloquent clergyman
said that though Frenchmen who come
to America may adopt this country as
their own and would always be loyal to
her, still their beloved France was very
dear to them and they could never entirely
forget her.
The church was again crowded in the
evening. when q sacred concert was given
by the same artists who assisted at the
morning services. Pergolesis "Stabat
Mater" was sung in fine style, and Miss
Florence Lipsher executed brilliant vio-
lin solo entitled THE Last Sleep of the
Virgin" by Massenet.
The new organ Is a tubular pneumatic
instrument and was built by Chicago
firm expressly for the church at a cost Of
$500, which amount is now in process of
collection.

weather was responsible, but the

a consequence eleven cyclists were ar

fast riding must cease.

TO OwELCOME VOLUNTEERS
Proposition From the Associa-
ton Of Friends and
Relatives

A communication has been received by
the citizens executive committee on the
reception of returning California volun-
teers from the Association Of Friends and
Relatives asking assistance In the recep-
tion of the men from California who will
return on the transports Tartar and New
port or any other ship. The communica-
ton sets forth the fact that 1t was ex-
pected that most of the men from Cali
forn!a would be home on the Para, but
the exigencies of the transport service
changed matters and as a consequence
there are many more to come by trans
ports now due.
The association asks that the citizens
committee allow the association one thou
sand or twelve hundred dollars to defray
the expenses of a suitable welcome for the
California volunteers. promising at the
same time that all expenditures will be
kept of record, and suggesting that if such
an arrangement be not satisfactory that
one of the members of the citizens COM
mittee be made a member Of the associa-
ton and keep track of all expenses.
There will be meeting of the associa-
ton this evening and an answer to the
appeal is expected.

4 LII of the glories of a pleasant
" season crowded themselves into
n the brief hours of yesterday, and
II JOY was IN the hearts Of the peo-
pie. Early in the morning the doors
of the city's homes, from those of the
palatial mansions of the rich to the
humble dwellings of the poor, swung
open, and their occupants, eager to
commune with nature and anxious for
a day of recreation out In the open,
poured in a human tide through the
gates of the park and out over the car
lines to the beach.
Thousands sat throughout the after
noon and applauded the selections Of
the park band. Thousands more basked
on the sand, splashed IN the breakers
at the beach or plunged into the tanks
at Sutro's Baths. Out at Stow Lake
fond fathers tugged at the oars Of
boats loaded with family and friends
and light-headed youths skipped peb-
bles along the surface of the ripping
waters for the amusement of giggling
sweethearts and the delight of onlook-
ers Fat and lean men, thin and stout
women and white-capped servants
trundled baby buggies through the
shaded avenues or carried the cooling
youngsters in arms TO chosen retreats.

HIGHER PATRIOTISM.
Rev. William RAIDER Speaks of Ad-
miral Dewey and What He
EvoroTolif1ec

1.-The Return of Admiral Dewey and the
Higher Heroism of the Nation" was the
topic of an interesting sermon by the
Rev. William RAIDER at the Third Congre-
gational Church last night The pastor
spoke strongly on the higher patriotism
which should animate the American peo-
pie in the present situation. He said in
brief:
Dewey is the last name in the list of
American heroes. 1t is a great thing this
crowning of a great man. The day of the
individual has not gone. He is still the
lightning which ldndleS into flame the
dry sticks of the nations patriotism The
nation must cling to the higher patriot
ism. This is the only salvation from the
perils of expansion If the loaves and
fishes are the object Of the Philippine
war. then our possessions will not do us
honor.
"As to individual heroism. 1t is well that
this iron element of the heroic be en-
countered in an age when sentimentalism
rules so many pens and softens SO many
characters. "
