AN ILLUSTRATED SERMON.
Rev. Frank K. Baker of Epworth MetI
Odist Church Usea Oil Paintinna

Rev. Frank K. Baker of Epworth Meth
odist Church Uses Oil Paintings.
Rev. Frank K. Baker, pastor of the Ep-
worth Methodist Chdrch, corner of Twen-
ty-slxth and Church streets, has intro
duced novel feature into his Sunday
evening sermons, by exhibiting large oil
paintings OF scripture scenes in connec-
tion with his preaching.
The first of the series of illustrated SER
mons which Rev. Mr.. Baker will preach
was delivered last night before large con-
gregation. The subject of last nights ad-
dress was Heart Hardening" and each
OF the three causes of heart hardening
the sins of contention, procrastination
and presumption, were illustrated by
large OIL paintings, revolving upon a reel.
contention was represented by picture
OF the spies holding up before the Israel
ties the grapes of Eschol. The death of
the spies who had caused the children of
Israel TO murmur, represented the second
sin. Procrastination, the sin of presump-
ton, was typified in the children of Israel
going up into Canaan against Gods will.
On next Sunday evening sermon. illus
trated by three large oil paintings, will be
delivered on the Life of Christ"

COIN FOR THE CRUSADE.

Local Aid Given to Great Theosophi-
cal Movement.
The Theosophical Society that has occu-
pied Red Mems Hall regularly every Sun
day evening for the past four years held
its first meeting last night in its new COM
modious quarters at Golden Gate Hall, on
Sutter street.
There were several addresses made dur
ing the evening by prominent theoso-
phists. Their remarks all bore on the OBJ
jects and the vast Importance OF the great
theosophical crusade now being carried
on for the high purpose of changing the
ideals of humanity and showing them the
path to greater happiness and influences.
The active interest taken by the local
society was amply indicated by the speak
ers. A collection to aid the crusaders In
their travels was taken and was responded
to literally.
The hall, chosen on account of its large
accommodation, was hardly big enough to
hold the large mum Der that attended last
night.
+. B. Ramb bo presided over the meeting,
and in few preliminary remarks wei
coined the society to the new hall and
briefly outlined the history of theosophy
in this country. He said that in 1878 in
New York the first movement toward
theosophical society was made by few
persons. This movement has grown
slowly and steadily, until now II stretches
across the extent of the earth.
Meetings that at first were held with
certain exclusiveness became more public
In nature, and now it is the custom to
open the doings of the society to the whole
world. The society is now in its twenty
hrst year, and another method OF propa-
ganda has been put into effect in the form
OF crusade of seven people, who Will
visit every land and show what t eosophy
really IS, what it teaches and what II will
accomplish.
After an instrumental solo by Miss
Alice Winant, DR.. Anderson spoke on the
purpose of the crusade. He said in part:
The purpose of the crusade briefly expressed
IS to change the ideals of humanity. Theosophy
presents itself as a vehicle to do this. No man
can help himself or his fellow-men without
reallzing how puerile, how low and how con-
temptlble, are the present ideals of the human
race
This address was followed by E. P.
Jones, who spoke on the messages of the
osophy.
''Theosophy,' said he. teaches that
there is a proper way to live and a proper
way TO dle;; or, in other words, proper
Mrs. NJ. M. Thirds then spoke with
much beauty of thought and expression
on Brotherhood. She said that the
souls of men were but sparks of the great
central hre, the deity.

WORLDS RECORD BEATEN
E. w. Decker of the Acme Club
Rode Five Miles in
1923.
But the Record Cannot Stand, as There
Were Not Enough Timers
Prese mt.

E. W. Decker of the Acme Club Wheel
men OF Oakland rode five miles on the Sau
Leandro- Haywards road yesterday after
noon in 10 min. % sec.. being nearly a
minute faster than the worlds record for
the distance, but because he did not have
the full complement of timers required by
the California Associated Cycling Clubs
the record is unofficial and cannot stand.
The worlds 6ve-mile road record is
I'LL 2-5, made not long ago by George M.
HamIin of the San Francisco Road Club
over the same course. Decker has felt all
along that he could better that perform
ance and decided to make tue attempt
yesterday. He had four tandem teams for
pacing. the riders being Brouillet aud
Bedbury, Kenna and Agnew, Dixon and
Menne and Elford and Krafts.
The pace maintained the entire distance
was steady and very FAST and Decker kept
up with the tandems well. When the
watches were compared it was found he
had ridden it in 1923, but there were only
three timers, and the association and the
Century Road Club of America, by whom
such records are allowed, require five
timers. Decker was disappointed because
he did not get the record, but will try
again next Wednesday afternoon at 4
o'clock.
His ride Yesterday was timed By T. L.
H all at the start and A. P. Swain and c.
B. Shear at the finish. The ride was a re-
markable one, and probably the strong
wind at his back helped him great deal
He will doubtless get the record next
Wednesday.
Before the record trial the Acme and
Reliance clubs each held tive-mile road
race over the course. The finish of the
Acme race was rather struggling, but the
time made was fairly good, as will be seen
hv the following table.

merce, and the written petition, signed by
a great number of taxpayers, nearly all
the banking institutions and building as
sociation and great number of mer-
| chants, recommending the Supervisors to
allow an increased appropriation. The
statement was that the petition was signed
by over hall of the taxable wealth of the
City.

is not involved the mem bers of the Board
OF Health will gladly turn over the entire
patronage which will be created to any
competent person or board, and aid every
effort to make its distribution non-parti.
san aid the appointments subject to q
civil service examination. The board
says: 1--WE have found the patronage an
annoyance which rises to the dignity of a
curse"
Some interesting comparisons are made
In the manifesto of the Board of Health.
1t Is said that the appropriation allowed
to insure the health of $4,000 citizens is
less than what is paid annually to the
janitors who sweep out the City Hall.
1t is only. one-seventh of the S175. 600
which is spent each year to maintain 1900
inmates of the City and County Hos
pitai, Almshouse and Pesthouse.
1t is contended that this Inadequate an.
preparation forces San Francisco to be tile
only city cf its size in the civilized world
which is without an ambulance system.
In sum ming up all the calamities of the
insufficient allowance the Board of Health
says:
SIN word, this beggarly appropriation
means disease, disgrace and wholesale
murder. These are not empty terms. The
record shows them to be conservative
statement of facts"
In closing, the address takes the ground
that the newspapers can avert the in
iquity by demanding $25, 900 merely for the
Health Department. The additional
wants as expressed in the address are (:
Eight good inspectors, $1,000 year, a
laboratory, $500; chemist and assistants,
$2700; bakery inspector, $500; patrolman
for canned goods, $500; three ambnlances,
$500; maintenance and equipment. $4,000;
veterinary surgeon, $500; bath and laun-
dry inspector, 5000; sewer inspector, $500;
insane. $500; Receiving Hospital, operat-
ing table and instruments, $500; clerk of
vital statistics, $500; additional office ex-
penses, 5000.

Special Session of the Board
of Health Last
Night.
PRESS SUPPORT IS INVOKED.
The Sum Required for Food Inspec.
ton, ambulance Sys.
tenn, Etc.

| A special meeting OF the Board Of
Health was held last evening at the Office
of DR.. G. J. Fitzgibbon, member of the
board. The special session was called to
! consider the allowance made by the Board
of Supervisors to maintain the Health De-
partment for the fiscal year ending June
80, 1897. The physici ans comprising the
board hold that the sum appropriated is
wholly inadequate, and they therefore de-
sire that the Supervisors should raise the
estimates and increase the allowance in
this particular respect.
In statement for the public press for
mulated at the meeting last night it is set
forth that the persistent and successful
efforts OF the press to reduce the tax rates
have resulted in taking from the Depart
ment of Public Health appropriations
which are vital to the City's welfare. The
powerful influence OF the press is, there
fore, earnestly requested tc prevent gross
injustice to the Health Department and
serious calamity to the City.
The point is advanced that the tax rate
this year will be low-$1 05 on the hun
dred dollars-and that the total amount of
mum icipal expenses will be over $5, 600. .000
1t is cited that the Health Department is
allowed but $25. 900, but that $25, 900 more
earnestly asked for would only raise the
tax rate to 81 05H. In other words, the
Board of Health asks that at least per
cent of the City's expenses should be de-
voted to preserving the health Of its
$40, ,00c inhabitants.

Those Japanese steamship Lines.

E. S. Babcock of Coronado. president of
many big corporations in San Diego and
Coronado and manager and half owner of the
Hotel del Coronado, returned to the Palace on
his way home from the Yellowstone Park,
where he has been on a pleasure trip. He
thinks that it rests with the Atchison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad rather than
with the citizens OF San Diego to secure one Of
the japanese steamship lines. For, he says,
1t is continental trade and overland rates that
the steamship company wants, for local and
coast commerce is not large enough. San
Diego can offer practically nominal port rates
aud can give water frontage for wharves. but
1t cannot promise trade that it does not con-
troll. Mr.. Babcock thinks that the Southern
Pacific Company will make a strong effort to
have one OF the japanese lines decide upon
San FRANCISCO as terminus, and he bases his
opinion on the theory that the railroad prefers
to control the land traffic to the exclusion OF
the Northern Pacific and the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe rather than to foster the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company and lose a greater
volume of business.

Yesterday most of the local cycling
clubs had runs to the Park, the San Fran
cisco, Olympic Alpha, California, I'm
perial, Bay City, Golden Gate and Ala
media Clubs all heading that way.
There was strong wind all day and
riding against it was rather hard work
Coming in, however, some of the men
spread out their coats for sails and it was
easy going then.
The Camera Club cyclists went to San
Jose yesterday, the Outing Road Club to
Haywards and the Liberty Cycling Club
to Laundry Farm.
Next Sunday all the local and Alameda
County clubs viii be in Stockton attend

CORBETT MAY FIGHT.
His Exhibition at Cripple Creek Will
Not InvaIidato His Agreement
with Sharkev.

James J. Corbett left San Francisco on
Saturday night for Colorado, where he
will give boxing exhibition at Cripple
Creek with Billy Woods.
1t was considered by some of those who
take deep interest in the manly art that
his proposed exhibition with Woods
would be an infraction of the agreement
signed by him and Sharkey.
Inquiry. however, dispels this theory.
1t is claimed that it is not match within
the meaning of the prize-ring code, mas
much as it is only an exhibition of science
and not for honor or lucre, but just such a
display as, to use the language of one of
the sports, ''you might give in your par
lors before the members of your family"
The same latitude is extended to Shar-
KEY should he see fit to give a "parlor''
exhibition with another of the strong
muscled fraternity.

4. L. FABRY'S DEATH
Said to Be No Mystery-Dr. Buchanan's
Efforts to Save His
Patient.

The assumed mystery attending the
death last Friday evening of Herman L.
Fabry, who was suffocated by gas, is said
to be, upon further investigation, no mys-
terry at all. There is no evidence TO sus-
tain the suicide theory, and in all proba-
bility the death was accidental.
When the mother of the decedent de-
tected the escaping gas she at once sum-
moned DR.. r. A. Buchanan OF 523 Laguna
street. He remained with his patient for
twelve hours and did everything medical
science could suggest to save him, bat it
was too late, and at o'clock in the even
ing he died It is the opinion of his father,
Leopold NJ. Fabry, that he got up early in
the morning, tried to light the gas. and
then fell back upon the bed and went to
sleep, leaving the key open.
