ST. MARY’S ALTAR.
CONSECRATION AND BLESSING OF
THE STONE.
An Eleeant Plie of Marble to Be De-
voted to the Service of the
Blessed Virgin and Her
Holy Child.
Yesterday was a red letter day in
the history at the Catholic faith of
this city. The grand new marble
altar which arrived two weeks ago
from Baltimore and whicp had been
placed in position in St. Mary’s
church was dedicated with the most
solemn and impressive services Right
Rev. Bishop John C. Neraz of this
Catholic diocese officiating.
The consecration of the altar began
at 8:30 a. m. and ended at 10:30 a. m.
at which hour Solemn Pontifical mass
was celebrated by the Bishop.
The hour for holding high mass in
the other Catholic churches of the
city had been fixed an hour earlier to
allow the clergy and congregations of
I said churches to attend the dedica-
| tlon and by 10:30 the large edifice
was thronged and the ushers Messrs.
EhnerOtis John Gallagher. Richard
Hickey Richard Buckley Thos.
Johnson and Nicholas Coor had their
time fully occupied.
The auditorium and sanctuary had
been beautifully decorated with fes-
toons of evergreens and flowers by
several of the young ladies of the
church notably the Misses Eloise
Folk Ellen and Mamie Johnson
Katie Tynan and Miss Sheldon and
Messrs. John Gallagher and Richard
Buckley.
To the front ot the altar pendant
from the dome huuga beautiful eight-
day sanctuary lump presented by
Miss Eloise M. Polk. Above the altar
a memorial window of stained glass
with the representation of the Blessed
Virgin and Holy Child had been set
in. This was presented by the Chil-
dren of Mary the young ladies section
of the Holy Family. An each side of
the altar was placed an angel in sta-
teusque marblepresented by the chil-
dren of the Sunday school. The altar
is of beautiful white American mar-
ble Italian mottled marble and Sienna
marble of pale green color and is or-
namented in Mexican onyx. From
the foundation to the top of rhe beauti-
ful beaten copper cross which is il-
luminated by a cross of gas jets the
altar measures 17 1-2 feet. The altar
is 14 feet wide. The beautiful carv-
ings and many symbolical figures are
too numerous to be described with-
out giving a thorough explanation of
the Catholic religion but the piece
standing out prominently is the Holy
Monogram I. H. S. of the motto “I
Have Suffered.”
The choir was an extra one
all volunteers as folllows :
Soprano — Mrs. M. M. Mooney
Misses Ellen Johnson and Lulu Mc-
Allister; alto—Mrs. J. Lord; tenor—
Mr. Chas. Schilling; basso—Messrs. J.
Lord and W. McAllister. Organist
Prof. Bolz. The choir was assisted by
Zoltarelli’sorchestra. Wells’ mass of St
Cecelia was well rendered. It was
quite appropriate and the solos
throughout were remarkably well
rendered.
The sermon preached by Rev.
Father Chandy the able chaplain of
Santa Rosa hospital was an eloquent
one though short and was delivered
from th» new heavy movable pulpit
that has been adopted in this
church. The following visiting clergy
assisted Bishop Neraz and Father
Smith the pastor of St. Mary’s in the
dedication and solemn mass:
Very Rev. E. M. Buffard V.G. San

thedral San Fernando San Antonio;

zens sat down to a dinner served for
them in the dining room of the par-
sonage by Mr. L. Mahneke.

cated Saturday night by services in
which the children of the congrega-
tion took part. Miss Ellen Johnson

a pedestal to the left of the altar was
presented by the Married Ladies’ Sec-
tion of the Holy Family.
The statue of St. Patrick on the
right a companion to the above was
presented by the Ancient Order of

Inside the chancel rail is a magnifi-

gan is purchased Efforts are now
being made to purchase this.

That Millinery Premium Which Was
Awarded to G. B. Frank.
“A clerical error of the association
discovered ney ‘ day necessitated the
appointment oi another committee to
go over tb ‘ w ork again.” Thanks.
This is e: I . e<l for us in-as-much as
our competitor admits that the first
award was a mistake and the Fair as-
sociation in making an award say
nothing in their premium list about
hats. We entered for the best dis-
play of millinery. Everybody knows
what is meant by millinery. It didn’t
take the judges long to decide about
it for after a little deliberation
they seated themselves at the desk of
ou/competitor in his own exhibit de-
partment and in the presence of his
own employes and with his beautiful
millinery staring them in the face
said: “G. B. Frank G. B. Frank to
the front” and the echo repeated
itself and the sound went like wild-
fire through the entire buildings un-
til today when it can be heard from 1
the voice of nearly every lady in the i
city. Our hats and bonnets with
their beautiful plumage held up)
their heads. They were firm and it)
did not require the use of “tar.”
Setting aside therefore the decision I
of the committee appointed who erro- |
neously made the aw ard for one not on
the books and taking the real ap-I
pointed judges on millinery as re-
quired by Ihe association’s books it is
clear to the public that we received
the first prize premium and diploma.
We got it we’ll keep it and we
INVITE YOU ALL To CALL AROUND
and see IT. Skill taste style and
understanding how to combine them
is what our Mrs. Buschmann knows
about millinery. Shelias acquired it
from her own ideas of symmetry in
form and harmony of color.
Thousands of ladies who know
w hat nice millinery is who saw our
display of hats and bonnets feathers
and flowers congratulate us and like-
wise are daily rewarding us with a i
prize and the proof of it is they get
their hats and bonnets trimmed at G.
B. Frank’s. It is but just to state t hat j
the night previous to the day when
the committee made theaward it had
rained through the portion of the
building where our exhibit was and
as our exhibit was somewhat disar-
ranged on account of this rain it
was not so “beautifully displayed”
as our competitor’s. We had the best
display the finest and most elegant
line of millinery of every description
and had no fear of the result; but
would not have said so two weeks in
advance had we not been misinform-
ed. As it is it was only a prophesy
and “prophesy is more true than his-
tory.” G. B. Frank.

—Frank Johnson was arrestsd by

therefore transferred to the justices
