LECTURE BY F. n. SMITH.
Impressionism in Art and Literature
His Topic,

Mr.. F. Hopkinson Smith gave lecture
on "Impressionism In Art and Literature"
last evening before the National Society OF
the Fine Arts, which held its last meeting
for the season at the residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John R. Mclean. Beginning with
description of Vibert's famous painting,
THE Missionary's Story" which created
much interest at the Morgan SALE and was
finally purchased by admiring layman
at the cost of a brownstene front, he told
of a canvas by one of the French ultra
impressionists which in the same salesroom
a few weeks later could not command the
price of a brick and passed to a considera-
tor OF THE Angelus.' Millet's great mas
terpiece Technique, he said, was a matter
of words-the realists used too many. the
inpressionists too few, but such men as
the Barbizon painters just enough to be In
teilgibIe and not wearisome. A genre like
Vibert's, he explained, was interesting, even
delightful at first acquaintance, but then

and for ever afterward was but a repetition
of well-remembered facts so that finally 1t
became less useful than a piece OF furni-
ture-less notable than its frame.

said who insisted that a spade was spade
and could be nothing else, but there were
others who saw In 1t a badge of honest Ia

gregation opened the banquet with a
prayer Col. Josiah T. Ford. chairman OF
the committee of arrangements and toast
master. introduced the sp -akers of the even
ing Mr.. Kenneth OConnor rendered q
selection on the banjo and sang a song. Com
mander B. p. Entrikin of the G. A. r. made
an address He stated that he was proud
that he served through the four years of
the war. and has high regard for the MEM
bers of the organization who enlisted at the
first call for volunteers. He said that the
G A. r. realizes that had It not been for
the District Volunteers there would have
been no capital left for those who came
later. and urged that the members OF
the organization present who were not
members Of the G. A. r. would join at
once.
Mr. O'connor then sang song with piano
accompaniment. Col. b. #. Bingham was

the growth Of a newer and more substan-
tial cathedral, built of brick, with great
solid walls. and for fifty years 1t was proof
against all seismic disturbances, only, 1t is
now thought, to fall victim to the ravages
Of fire. For number Of years 1t has been
presided over by the Paulist Fathers, being
the third foundation of the congregatlon

is also reported to have been destroyed. 1t
is one of the finest churches of the diocese.
Built Of brick in the modern Romanesque.
1t is thought to be without a peer in Its
graceful proportions. ornamental exterior
and exquisite finish within.
Perhaps the greatest single monetary loss
Of any of the Roman Catholic churches in
San Francisco has been sustained by st.
Ignatius Church, conducted by the Jesuit
Order, which Is valued at 81, 100000. The
affairs Of this church are said to have been
extremely beautiful and costly, and were
imported from Italy. $4,000 organ was
one of the revelations Of the structure.
Among the other Catholic churches de-
stroyed was st. Patrick's. valued at $780,
0O0, and st. Brendin's Church and hospital,
adjoining, $3.50 600; ST. Roses Church, $780,
900; the French Catholic church, $4,000.
1t is feared that the beautiful St Joseph s
Church at San Jose is also destroyed.
Other Denominations.
In addition to the above there are othef
less costly structures which, from the tenor
of the press dispatches, are also destroyed.
The resident bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal Church In San Francisco is Rev.
John w. Hamilton. and the churches OF
this denomination were also of a beautiful
and distinctive character.
The other denominations that hourtshed In
the city and the number Of their churches
follow: Baptist 8; Christian, z; Congrega-
tional, IA; Episcopal. IL; Evangelical. 5;
Greek Russian. 1: Hebrew. o; Lutheran, 13;
Swedenborgian, 2; Unitarian. 2; miscellane-
Gus. 10.
Considerable fear has been felt for the
safety of Archbishop Riordan but 1t was
learned last night that he Is not In the
stricken city, but in Chicago, Ill, where he
Is visiting with his brother. The arch
bishop was en- route to Baltimore to attend
the centenary of St. Mary's Cathedral, to
be held the latter part of this month.
1t Is stated that Cardinal Gibbons has
prevailed upon the archbishop to continue
his journey to the east. and leave the direc-
ton of church affairs to younger hands. for
the present to the vicar of the diocese,
Most Rev. George Montgomery.

Gen. Loud Discusses Lincoln.

Gen. George B. Loud. lecturer and writer
on patriotic subjects, gave a talk In the
Zion Baptist Church Thursday evening in
the course of free lectures to the people on
Abraham Lincoln" Among other things
Gen. Loud said:
