RELIGIOUS SERVICES.
Held on Steps of Ruined Churches and
 in the Parks.

San Francisco. April 22.-On the steps of the shattered churches and on the green slopes of parks and ceme- teries the people of San Francisco as- sembled at the usual hours for religious services, grateful for the opportunity preservation and anxious for the work of cheer and comfort that will carry them through future trials.
 There was no distinction as to sect or denomination, the gatherings in cluding as a rule a large per cent. of the families camping or residing In the vicinity. Catholic clergymen eel ebrated mass in the Jewish cemetery and every creed knelt with bowed heads while the services wero in pro- gress.
 On the steps of St Mary's Cathedral and on the upheaved pavement of Golden Gate Avenue overlooking the blackened waste that commenced just across the street, Archbishop Montgom cry celebrated mass at o'clock. The service was attended by thousands covering the church steps and extend ing well up and down the street. The Archbishops words and his reference to the death of Fire Chief Sullivan affected the entire assemblage, tears streaming down hundreds ot faces up turned to the tiny altar in the open  broken sobs swept in a wave of sound from end to end of the coEgrega tion.
 Five masses were celebrated at St. Mary's Cathedral. The archbishop In his sermon recommended to the people that they be at all times submissive to the authorities, civil and military.
 Close to the gtlves in Calvary cem- etery on the narrow porch Of tiny house that stands within the grave yard enclosure. three masses were eel ebrated for the congregation of Holy Cross church. They were largely at- tended and the theme of the sermons was hope and courage in the face of diversity.
 In almost total darkness with a heavy mist dropping like rain from the trees, a prayer meeting was last night held in the center of Jefferson Square where hundreds of the homeless have taken refuge. A choir sang several hymns and there was sermon which made a stirring appeal for renewal of courage,

INVENTOR THE LOSER.
Sold Cheap An Idea Which Was Worth
 Many Millions.


 Dothan, April 22,-(Special )--only very small percentage of the men whose ingenious brains conceive ideas worth patenting are so fortunate as to reap pecuniary benefits as a result. This fact is called to mind by thought of the case of G. O. Wheeler. of Bain- bridge, Ga, cousin of General Joe Wheeler. who passed through Dothan today en route to St. Louis.
 In 1870 Mir. Wheeler, who is now a prosperous wholesale lumberman of Bainbridge. worked out to his own sat isfaction the idea of a shipping tag which should be made of cardboard. at low cost with d small circular open ing in one end, through which should pass the string or twine used in tieing the tag to any article, this opening to be reinforced on each side of the tag by means of small piece of eXtraor dinary durable board He patented his invention, and soon afterwards sold the patent to George Dcnnison of Philadel- phia. the consideration being $400. Es- tablishing factory on a small scale in Philadelphia Mr Dennison heean the manufacture Of the tags. with the results that today 'ne Dennison Tag Company Is one o' The largest and wealthiest corporations in the United States. having made many millions of dollars from the inN,ntton purchased from MT. Wheeler The patent itself expired several years ago, and now anyone who desires may manufacture the article, but the great prestige given the DennlSOH brand uuIinS IAe Ilnl0 the patent was in force has resulted in a practical monopoly for the makers, and the Bainhridge man has seen what might have been for him if he had held to his own idea and patented it.
 The local chapter of Masons has int tiated nine candidates into the mystc- ries of that order. The exercises lasted half the day and far into the night. closing with banquet at the Thrasher Cafe, at which speeches were made and sundry good things partaken of Some of the candidates were from Dothan, while others came from nearby towns

 Eddie Graney was with Chief Sul- livan from the time he was removed from the fire house until his death. MT. Graney today stated that Chief Sulli- van never knew there was fire.

Praise For Team
Baseball Editor Advertiser:

Baseball Editor Advertiser:
 The Montgomery team as it is now shaped up is the best in the League and will make a pennant winner. The team, as a whole. Is evenly balanced and works smoothly. Take the out field It is unquestionably the hardest in the League. All three of the men are safe felders and consistent hitters. We have an infield that stacks up with any of them. Their fielding Is almost perfect, with Busch at short, and their hitting is up to the standard. Our pitching department is way above par. The recent work of our pitchers de- monstrates this beyond all question We are all right behind the bat, with good, active men who are htters and heady catchers. With Durrett in the game to electrify the team with his hitting our team is bound to take q decided winning streak that will play rings around some of the other fellows The very fact that Durrett is in the game. hitting like a fiend incarnate. is an inspiration to the others on the team who have hitting qualifications. Such hitting as he is capable of serves a double purpose. It also gets the and then the fireworks begins. It is to be hoped that the management and Durrett will cease trying any more experiments that they keep the team they have in shape They are win ners. Perhaps we need hitting short stop. but we'll never get more earn est, honest and hardworking man than Busch. who goes after everything. Dur rett has the oportunity of his life now. There is reputation to be made in any League and Durrett can make it and the people of this city will be with him. If Durrett makes a success out of his team and heads the Southern League, there is far more reputation in that than being a player or even captain or manager of one of the tail end teams in either of the major leagues. It is a strange thing to say. | but it is nevertheless q fact that the bIeachers, grandstand and rooters in | the trees take on new life with Dur ! rett in the game hitting as he does. lThis is not idle talk. Durrett is | hIayer who does things His work last | fsVi demonstrated this. He can win | this pennant. I, is to be hoped, how ever, he will not lose his head or be carried away with the applause of the moment or give d listening ear to any Greek bearing burnt offerings. Such might prove worthless in the end Montgomery is loyal and will always he to a manager like Durrett.
