OYSTER SEASON CLOSES.
Light Demand for Two Cargoes
That Arrived This Week.

Two small flatties with less than a
hundred bushels Of oysters each aboard
We're the only arrivals of oyster-laden
craft at the 18th street wharf market in
the past week. and there was but light
demand for their cargoes. This is eX-
pected to be the last arrival of oyster
laden craft this season. A sure indica-
ton that the oyster season is over is
the fact that the oyster wharf IS now be-
ing used as an unloading place for lum-
ber-laden vessels. During the next nine
ty days the nth street wharf will be a
quiet place and will be covered with big
piles Of lumber. Early in August the
watermelon season will open at the
wharf and from the melon coming time
until the end of the next fishing season
the fish wharf will be awake twenty-four
hours In the day. For the next three

The Cross of Fra Junipero.
To the Editor Of The star:

10 EOltoF OF Inc star.
In his very interesting letter from Riv-
erside. Cal. published In Wednesdays
Star, Mr.. w. E. Curtis. writing Of the
cross the good people Of that town are
about to dedicate to Father Junipero Ser
ra, expresses the wish that somebody
would explain the significance of the
double cross-the cross with two bars"
Incidentally. It might have been we'll for
these people to have consulted their biSh-
OPP before inscribing the title Father
and the family name Sierra" on any
such memorial. Fra Junipero was a
Franciscan of the Spanish branch, called
VOW dropped the family name, and sec
ondly. the Franciscans are not fathers,
but are calledi brother fra)
The explanation given Mr.. Curtis by
some Californians that this double cross
originated with the Indians. is of course
untenaple. The cross was first intro
duced In America by Spanish. French
and Italian Catholic missionaries In
Canada and vicinity by Jesuts and In the
southern portion by Franciscans, both
orders using the Latin cross. with one
bar, TO represent the cross on which the
Savior was Crdcified.
The cross Mr.. Curtis mentions Is known
by ecclesiastIcs as the patriarchal, and
has two cross-bars, the upper one being
the shorter In heraldry II is known as
the cross of Lorraine. appearing on the
ducal shield The first mention Of the
patriarchal cross in ecclesiastical history
is in connection with the council Of Nice,
which gave the bishops of Rome, Alex
andria. Antioch, Constantinople and Jeru-
salem the title of patriarch, and styled
the bishoprics of these churches patri-
archates. The Pope. being also the
Bishop tepiscopus. which title he uses in
signing bulls) Of Rome, is also a pa
triarch.
Nevertheless. this does not explain how
the patriarchal cross ever got introduced
In America. and II is not mentioned in
any description of Spanish or Mexican
monasteries that have met with.
The Recolets whom l have met all
wore the Latin cross. In fact double
cross would seem 10 be more likely to
confuse the heather to whom the Cru
cifxton is to be explained.
Perhaps some learned brother Of the
Franciscan monastery near the Catholic
University In this city can throw some
light OH Fra Junipero's cross.
Illustrations OF this cross can he found
