said the mass, assisted by Father

Those councils of the order which
participated were Pioneer, Mission,

dan, Potrero, Strassmajer, Joan of Arc
and Salesian. P. ]. Hagan, president OF
the board Of managers of the San Fran
cisco councils, and A ]. Sullivan, secre-
tary, arranged the services. Prior to
the sermon the names OF those members
of the local councils who died during
the year were solemnly read from the
pulpit and special prayers were offered
for the repose of their souls.
Father Sullivan, in delivering the
eulogy on the lives of Archbishop

good. loyal, devoted sons of your
country, as was Washington, whose

MANIAC WITH BUCKET
FELLs STEWARD FARLEY
Hospital Attendants and
Policemen in Battle
With Lunatic

In cell at the Detention Hospital
yesterday Steward Dan Farley was at
tackled and knocked senseless by Pun
Brookshire, a maniac, who followed the
first blow with a frenzied assault which,
had it not been for the timely arrival Of
assistance. would undoubtedly have re-
suited in the death of the attendant.
The insane man was kept In his cell
for thirty minutes through the belief
that the iron door had.-been locked on
him, and then gave battle to four DO
licemen and citizen who attempted to
force him into a straitjacket.
At noon yesterday Steward Farley
entered Brookshire's cell to give him
his noon meal AS he turned to close
the door the maniac struck him on the
head with bucket, which felled him
unconscious to the floor.
The noise attracted E. ]. Parquette
an ex-policeman, who ran to Farley
assistance and dragged his limp body
through the door
Policemen Grifflths, Copeland, Ward
and Stincen answered a call sent in to
the police station for aid and with Par
quette made rush on the insane mans
cell. In the scuffie that ensued not one
escaped blows from the man they were
trying to subdue, who fought with in

Creston Clarke, who made such hit
here last season in Monsieur Beau
caire,: says that his new play, The
Ragged Messenger" is the best vehicle
In which he has yet appeared.
1t tells the story of Rev. John Nor
ton, who has been bequeathed an inn
mense fortune, with which he plans to
foster his pet schemes of charity. His
cup of happiness seems overfiowing un-
til he learns how his dissolute cousin,
who accumulated the millions to which
he has fallen heir, had betrayed and
turned penniless into the streets a
poor young woman. John Morton's time
thenceforth is divided between his con-
secrated work and systematic search
for this wronged woman. that he may
make her suitable reparation. His joy
at the prospect of finding the forsaken
one is turned to horror when he dis
covers her in the person of his idloized
wife. Despite this heartbreaking
knowledge he rushes to her defense.
for her good name is being questioned,
and by a. brilliantly conceived subter-
fuge he saves her from open degrada-
tien, only to denounce her violently
when they are alone.
1t is In this scene that Mr.. Clarke
reaches dramatic height never before
attained by him. The play ends hap
pilly, but not until the audience has
been made to run the whole gamut Of
human emotion.
THE Ragged Messenger" is to COM
mence weeks engagement at the Nov
city Theater next Monday evening.
