almost an hour the Oakland remain ed

called to her assistance by the life-sav-

CONFIRMATION SERVICES
Bishop Nichols breaches Against Puri-
tnnical View of the Sabbath

At st. Pauls Church, of which REV
w. NJ Reilly is the rector, confirma-
ton services were held yesterday
morning by Rt. Rev. Ford Nichols
Bishop OF California. A class of ten
was confirmed. Bishop Nichols preached
a sermon on the text, This is the day
which the Lord made; let US rejoice"
He spoke of the necessity for having
a day set aside for mems spiritual
needs. At the same time he said that
the Sabbath was made for man, not
man for the Sabbath. 1t was allow
able to do deeds of mercy such as Wis
iting the sick. and in a case of such
necessity as the present he could see
no objection to cleaning the streets
on a Sunday. The speaker would not
hold men to any Puritanical observ-
ance of the Sabbath. When children
had been instructed in the morning
there was no reason why their father
should not take them out and teach
them to enjoy the beauties of nature in
the afternoon. The Sabbath was ne
cessary because we need rest physi-
cally, morally and spiritually

He is and has been out of sympathy

against Lo Toilette he helped the Da-
wilson Republicans make last fall. The
election of Governor Davidson over Ir-
vine Lenroot, La Follette's candidate.
was an ugly slap at Spooner's dearest
political enemy, but il meant virtually
nothing to the Spooner machine. Da-
wilson and the men elected with him
were reformerS Of the La Toilette type
before La Toilette came into prom
inence in Wisconsin. They frankly ad-
mitted to me two weeks after the mem
orable primary election that they were
still with La Toilette IN his efforts to
break up the Federal railroad machine
of which Spooner was the head.
Spooner himself was cynical inclined
to see no immediate rift in the cloud
of what is to him the most repugnant
form OF radicalism with which Roose-
velt. La Toilette and reformers of the
type have enveloped the conservative
Republicanism so dear to the heart Of
Spooner. exemplar par excellence of the
machine and what 1t stands for The
organization means everything political
to this physically small and mentally
great man. Twice he refused the er-
mine OF the Supreme bench, and it is
not to be believed 1T was because he
did not appreciate the compliment paid

want to leave the arena of practical
politics. He was q soldier and he is by
nature fighter, but between Roose-
veltism and La Folletteism his faith in
the future has been shattered. When
he retires from the Senate the mys-
terious inner gearing of the national
Republican party is deprived of the

pictures of the collection.
The exhibition, which is held at Wick

Catalina Island has an enthusiastic
painter in Joseph Greenbaum. who has
San Francisco. He has an exhibition
of paintings at Habjohn Sc M0reem's.
lso less than nine pictures. including all
his outdoor scenes. bear witness to the
interest with which Greenbaum has
devoted himself to the beauty Of the
southern island. 1he pictures are al
most all In a very high key. vivid and
sparkling. There is something Of the
brightness which one is accustomed to
associate with Southern italy, and
again 1t Is a matter fer consratulation
that one of the men who rank high
among Western artists has choson to
interpret for US the lovelinsss OF this
nook of the Pacific Coast. One OF the
best Is called The Passing Cloud" The
clouds are 30 woolly, tho rocks so
rocky. the water such real water. and
the sky such real sky that ono csnnot
tire of looking at IL. On the whole the
Catalina pictures arc excellent ana are
peculiarly interesting because they are
something in the way Of new de-
parture for Greenbaum. The success
with which he has treated his new
theme leads one to hope that he will
continue to give US many more in the
same line
Greenbaum Is less happy In his ng-
ures. The most ambitious OF his pic
lures in the present exhibition is The
Symphony in Brown young girl IN
brown hat and suit against a brown
autumn background. She makes Il
pretty picture of f'youth and girlishness,
but she lacks character. and her smile
would before long strike the beholder
as insipid. The best of his figures is
the head called Puritan Maiden"
though why Puritan is uncertain; she
looks more like Roman maiden.

Prisoners and Neglected Children

Prisoners and Neglected Children
Mrs Colonel Duncan OF the Volun-
teers of America delivered the address
at the Sunday morning services of the
Second Unitarian Church at the corner
OF Twentieth and Capp streets yester-
day. She spoke OF the work of the
Volunteers. which. from being origf-
nally organized for the purpose of ben
efiting men in penitentiaries. had come
TO care also for the men who had been
in prison and for children. While she
believed that a man should bear the
penalty OF his crime, she did not be-
lieve in letting him suffer after the
penalty imposed by law was at an end.
The local work for children had been
interested not so much in orphans as
in neglected children, cooperating with
the Society for the Prevention of Cru
city to Children and with the Juvenile
Court Almost 800 children had been
cared for during the last year.

Force of Habit.

II was near the middle of the after
noon and the jackson train on the
South Side elevated had made the cir
cult of the loop as far as the State
street station without picking up half
enough passengers to fill its cars.
At that station a business man with
a careworn, preoccupied look on his
face entered the smoking car.
Making his way to the rear end he
grasped a strap with one hand, took
a newspaper from his pocket with the
other hand. and stool there with his
feet planted wide apart. trying to read.
The car rounded the curve at Van
Buren, and Wabash, but he held the
stray firmly and managed to maintain
"a relatively perpendicular position.
BY similar struggle he kept himself
upright as the train negotiated the
double curve beyond the Congress
street station.
When half way between Twelfth and
Eighteenth streets he happened to
look about him.
Vacant seats fairly yawned at him.
and the few passengers in the car were
grinning.
With sheepish look on his face he
pumped himself into one of the seats.
II suppose I'm the blamedest fool
that lives on this line" he said to the
passenger next to him, but l thought
the car was chock full, as usual"
