AT ST. JOHNS CHURCH.

Sunday was an suspicious day for the
community about st. Johns. The large
and appreeiative audiences were deeply
gratifying to Rey Fl. G. Davis, DID,, the
pastor, who preached one of his most
powerful sermons on the Love of God
TO Man" Eight members were received
into the church during the day. The
cllldrens' service al 3 o'clock was enjoy
ed by all who attended. The mass meet
ing In the interest of the Epworth
League at night was one of great profit
to the church and people. The pastor. OF
course, presided and talked occasionally,
but Interesting speeches were made by
DR.. Wilson. the able president Of the
First Church League. also by Mr.. Wads-
worth The address of Mr.. Wadsworth

was organized. and Mr. Laird OF the

overworried and neglected himself until
he has shat dread disease, consumption,

best of all known tonics, both for the

THE GAY PARISIANS.

The attraction next Friday night will
be THE Gay Parisians," with the origi-
nal company, which was seen for 200 con-
secutive nights at Hoyt's Theater, New
York, followed by long runs in Boston,
Philadelphia, and Chicago. Manager
Chas. Frohman sends here also the en-
tire original scenery used in the New
York production. Seldom have so many
prominent artists been seen in one pro-
duction. and it Is doubtfulf so good a
comedy cast was ever before taken from
a New York run without Changes. The
foundation of SO many amusing complica-
tons is the desire of young wife to
make her husband jealous for supposed
indifference to her. To accomplish this
she goes to a restaurant with her hus-
bands friend, and to the same place
comes her companions maid and her
husbands nephew, while her husband is
also there attending to his business; then,
TO add to the danger of the situation, a
suffering acquaintance and his four
children also drop in. The climax is
capped when the place is raided as a
gambling house. w. J. Ferguson, Sadie
Martinez, Jas. o. Barrows, Mrs. e. j.
Phillips, Louis Hendricks, Margaret Cor
don and Chas. b. Wells are among the
members of the exceptionally strong cast.

A FRIENDLY PROFFER

The Riverside Press calmly rebukes
the greedy Republicans who are so anx-
ious to divide next years political spoils
before they are safe in hand. 1t will not
even admit that Southern California
should designate now which part of the
1898 crow it prefers.
The Press points out that there has
apparently been 'hoodoo' on all the
Republican candidates for governor
from the upper part of the state for
nearly two decades past Possibly" it
says, cit might be well for the politicians
to bear this in mind
Nor will our Riverside contemporary
admit that Southern California has no
available man who would prove stronger
than Davis, Pardee, Brown, Colgan
Hart, Flint, Fitzgerald and the rest
it prophesies that a Southern Califor-
MIA candidate may be the logical out :
come of the scramble in that section. 1t
says upon this point:
Would there be anything so very un-
reasonable if Southern California should
happen to get both governor and sena-
tor? Senator Perkins and NJ NJ Estee,
the last Republican candidate for gov
ernor, were both from San Francisco,
but that was thought to be all right.
Certainly it seems fair that Southern
California have the governor occasion
ally.
The Herald views the rising tide OF
disagreement among its Republican
contemporaries with genuine concern
and hastens to offer solution of the
double headed problem that should
avert any further disputation. Let Sen
ator White be elected to another term in
the senate. The governorship may be
settled by the election of competent,
sound Democrat whose name the Dem
ocratic party will at the proper time
submit for the suffra ges of the voters Of
this state. This will relieve our anxious
Republican friends of the responsibility
they so dread at the present time, and
the interests of the state will be safe.
