BY LAURA BRIDE POWERS.

Beautiful old Mission Dolores!" said
Charles Warren Stoddard yesterday as
he stood at the altar-rail of the sane
tuary. IT'S just fifty years since /
knelt in this sacred spot. How we'll
how well 1 recall it all now. But alas!
what changes have come since then,
when as a lad | wandered in here to
pray"
With moist eyes the we'll beloved
writer fingered long in the chapel to as
sist in the service of Holy Thursday
a service that for 12S years has never
suffered interruption upon this day.
That's a pretty long time as we Amer
leans reckon time.
Yesterday throngs Of people visited
the old church, remained a while In
meditation or prayer, and then went
their way better and happier for hav-
ing visited this most hallowed spot Of
all San Francisco. The services of the
day were simple.
At the conclusion of the mass In the
new church a procession was formed
by the officiating priests and the Holy
Eucharist was borne into the Mission
church under a canopy Of white silk
and gold.
Walking ahead were 200 little girls
in white frocks, wells and wreaths,
The sacrament was then exposed for
alteration upon the old altar, enshrined
in a maze of lilies and roses.
Upon the altar were four great brass
candlesticks that have come down to
us from the days of Junipero Sierra
also a beautiful gold monstrance
brought by the great Franciscan from
Mexico in 1776
During the day hundreds of people
who love the old Mission for the men,
cries it holds came to pay their re-
spects to the MOTHER church of the
city, and on every hand were hopes
expressed that from now on the doors
of the Mission shall not be closed to
the public.
1t is believed that the pastor will ac
cede to the unanimous wish of San
Francisco when he is formally request
ed to do so by the Landmarks League,
for the Mission is the well-beloved
heritage of the city.

Passes Fictitious Checks.

John Stack. a clerk in a store at 54
Eighth street. obtained a warrant
from Police Judge Fritz yesterday for
the arrest of A. S. Thomson on a
charge of passing a fictitious check.
The check was for SO and was signed
&C. H. Tay & Co" Francis Baker,
president of the George H. Tay Com
pany, accompanied Stack to the bond
and warrant clerks office and said
that a number of checks had been
passed. apparently by the same per-
son, bearing the same signature,
which led people to believe that they
were signed by his company. Forg-
cry could not be charged because it
was not the signature of the company.
President Baker said he was anxious
to find the check passer and have him
punished.

tasteful uniforms Of the orphanage,
while those confirmed wore white
wells and a distinctive costume which
was appropriate and becoming. The
chapel was crowded with friends. The

two pounds; CHOPPED oats, twenty-eight
pounds; bran, twelve pounds; bales to
have two bands. board ends and bur-
laped. This class of fodder is being
supplied at present mostly from Aus

After Murderers.

Besides looking after the collection OF
the customs Mr.. Searcy had occasion
ally to play policeman and take the law
into his own hands. Murders by the
blacks on the coast were frequent and
whenever he found that MaIays or
whites had been killed by them it was
his duty to bring the punishment home
TO the brutes who had committed the
murders.
At one time he ran into Goyder river
to land Darcy Uhr and party OF men
to search for cypress pine. When he
returned seventeen days later to the
place he had landed the party, he heard
signals of distress and saw a large fire
burning on the shore, Immediately Mr.,
Searcy sent a boat ashore. Mr. Urh re-
ported that two Of the MaIays had been
murdered. but no traces of the bodies
had been found. They had apparently
been thrown into the river, which was
alive with alligators. On a sandy beach,
however, were found blood-stafned
clothing and traces Of a struggle.
