Manchuria Makes Ready For Run.
The Chronicle of August 1, says:

The Chronicle of August l, says:
Looking clean and trim in spite of her
long sea voyage, the new steamer Man.
churia of the Pacific Mail Steamship
Company, sister ship of the Mongolia,
| arrived here yesterday evening at the
end of her maiden voyage. She was
forty-six days and fifteen minutes from
Norfolk, Va, whence she sailed on June
18th. Having had no communication
with the shore during the passage, she
was quickly passed by the quarantine
officials and then proceeded to an an
chorage off Mission rock, there being no
berth ready for her at the Mail dock.
The trip was a fine one. Only two
stops We're made and those were brief
ones at Sandy point and Fortesque bay,
in the straits of Magellan, at both of
which places she merely remained at
anchor over night to await daylight be-
fore continuing through the tortuous
straits.
During the passage the Manchuria's
usual speed was twelve and a half
knots, at which gait she burned up
about 100 tons of coal a day. She was
loaded up with coal at Lamberts point,
Va. before sailing and arrived here
with 5000 tons of coal left in her bun
kers- She carried no cargo and no pas
sengers.
The big steamer is commanded by
Captain J. w. Saunders, formerly of the
Newport, belonging to the same COM
pany. Her chief officer is J. R. Clark
son. formerly of the Coptic, and her
first officer is Graham Coghlan, son of
r ear-Admiral J. B. Coghlan, United
States Navy. Coghlan was second Off
Ger of the Rio de Janeiro when that
vessel was sunk in the Golden Gate in
February, 1901 and was the senior sur
viving officer. There were $50 in the
crew that brought the Manchuria out
from the East.
The Manchuria was built at Camden,
n. J. Like the Mongolia, she can make
over sixteen knots an hour, and while
less speedy than the Korea and the
Siberia, she is much larger and has
much greater cargo and passenger ac-
commodations. She is a fine sea boat
and very steady in a sea way. She can
carry 316 cabin and 1900 steerage pas
sengers and $4,000 tons of cargo.
As she passed along the water front
yesterday evening on the way to her
anchorage the Manchuria was loudly
saluted by many steamers in the harbor
and attracted much attention from her
great size. With the exception of the
largest vessel that ever entered this
port.
The Manchuria will be put on the
regular run between San Francisco and
the Orient at an early date.

H|LO POSTAL
CLERK HELD
Alleged to Have Stolen
Panama Hat In
Mail.

WILMINGTON, Del. July 3O.-Depu-
ty Marshal Hawkins brought to this
city to-day Edwin Rose, aged 10, late
of the Hawaiian Islands, whom he ar
rested on a sugar steamship at Lewes,
Del, just in from Honolulu, at the in
stance of Postoffice Inspector Maxwell,
on a charge of the larceny of a Panama
hat from a registered mail package.
Rose was a clerk in the postoffice at
Hilo, Hawaii, when the hat was re-
ceived there, it having been sent by a
New York firm on order. It being in a
mutilated condition, the customer re-
fused to accept it and the postmaster
wrote to Washington for instructions.
The department directed him to return
the hat. When he looked for it no hat
could be found and Rose had disappear

FARE WELL
DISCOURSE
By Rev. G. L. Pearson
at the Methodist
Church.

Rev. George l. Pearson delivered his
farewell sermon to his parishioners at
the Methodist church last night, fol-
lowing it With remarks of personal
character in which he spoke Of the
strong friendship ties that had oound
him to the members of the church here
for so many years. Many regrets were
expressed afterwards that Mr.. Pearson
was to leave the city after having
built up the parish so well.
Rev. Mr.. Pearson's subject last even
ing was the amounting at Bethany. He
said in part:
The critical hour in the Life of Jesus
has come. He is alone. The officials
are planning his death. One of His own
number is seeking to betray him. His
disciples do not understand Him. Thus
with his great burden alone-he march
es under the shadow of the dark cloud.
But a light breaks out through the
cloud to cheer and comfort him.
At the house of Simon the leper
whom he had healed, friends have pre-
pared him a supper, Simon the leper is
there and Lazarus-whom he had late
~ raised from the dead is there also.
These two doubtless had seats of honor
at the table. Martha was there faith
full, and true, offering to serve at the
supper. Mary too was there. Her
great love for Jesus would not let any
obstacles that could be overcome hind
er her from being present. While they
are at the supper Mary performed an
act that made her name immortal. She
came to the Savior and poured upon
his head and feet an alabaSter box Of
precious ointment, and did wipe his
feet even with the hair of her head.
AS the perfume of the ointment filed
the room there was a murmer
from those in the room. why this
waste" said Judas. This might have
been sold for more than 300 pence, and
given to the poor But Jesus defend
ed Mary, why trouble We her." said
He. ''She hath done a good work,
she hath done what she could So
pleased was Jesus at this act of Mary
that He immortalized her so to speak
on the spot. wherever said He,
"this gospel shall be preached through
out the whole world this also that she
hath done shall be spoken of as
memorial of her."
What was it, in this act of Mary
that claimed so great recognition from
Jesus and from men?
1t was what the act symbolized-
that pleased Jesus-and made it of so
great Importance, the act was praise
worthy in ITSELF.
1t was as if Jesus had said, 81 see
in this loving act of Mary a symbol
of my own loving devotion to human
ity and of that loving devotion I ex-
pect from humanity to me-"
Truly Mary's act symbolized the work
of Jesus in the Motive which led to it.
Mary's act was one of love. She had
met Jesus, had received instruction
from him and had "chosen that good
part which would not be taken from
her" But Jesus had conferred another
great deed for her and Martha. Their
brother Lazarus had been sick, they
watched and waited and prayed, hop
ing for the best through weary days
and nights. but the sad end. came.
Lazarus died. The gloom of darkness
over-shadowed the home. The trying
day of burial came and then the I'M
