MUTUAL DEPENDENCE
Rev. David Walk at the Church of
Christ

David Walk in the Church Of Christ on
Eighth street, near Central avenue, took
for his subject the Mutual Dependence
Of the members ct :he Body" Il is Gcd
who has set the members in The body and
this striking figure is employed py the
apostle to illustrate a great practical truth
in the relation Of individual Christians to
the church or body of Christ. There is not
member, however obscure and humble.
who has not his place, and all the other
members combined cannot do his work.
Gifts which seem of small value to the in
dividual are of great Importance In view
of their relation to the composite body
as a whole. Hand, ear, eye, are worthless
save in their fellowship with all the other
faculties. Nor will 1t help matters should
these organs attempt to change places and
functions. Persons good and true in them
selves fail to accomplish the best results
of life because they work alone. Union Is
life; isolation Is death. This hints at both
the necessity and philosophy of church
membership. The individual Is multiplied
by reason of his intimate connection with a
great multitude of kindred spirits.
A single soldier, though brave as lior,
will fail; but Joined to an army of men
like himself, he becomes invincibls. Paul
says those members of the body which
seem to be more feeble and less honorable
are necessary. The men who kept the fires
going away down below the water Inc and
out of sight were essential 10 the brilliant
achievement of Dewey upon the deck. In
a comparison of merit between the eye
and the heart, the former would seem 10
win; or between the mouth AMI the pore,
the mouth would take the honors, yet the
beauty and utility Of eye and mouth de-
pend upon heart and pore. And so the
humblest member of :ne body Of Christ is
essential to the harmony and Utility of the
church as a whole.

JEALOUS OF A WOMAN
So G. Scoville Committed Suicide Yes
terday Morning

terday Morning
Jealous because his mistress persisted in
going with other men and continued to use
morphine, Charles Scovlle, one of the
proprietors of the White Wings saloon at
233 East First street, committed suicide
some time yesterday morning. Mamie
Stephens is the woman for whom Scoville
took his life.
The woman formerly lived with another
man, but Scovile prevailed on her to go
and live with him In the Gollmer block.
She had become slightly addicted to the
use of morphine, but Scoville thought he
could break her of the habit. He did not
meet with success, however, for the wo-
man persisted in going with men who were
notorious dope fiends. She and Scoville
quarreled considerably about it, but she
persisted In her course. Saturday night the
woman remained out with some men until
2 o'clock in the morning When she re-
turned she and Scoville quarreled until
daylight.
Yesterday afternoon about o'clock the
house girl heard heavy breathing proceed
ing from the room in which Scoville and
the woman lived and she opened the door,
She discovered Scoville unconscious from
the effects of some drug, while the Ste
phens woman was asleep by his side. The
girl gave the alarm and Officer Walker was
called. Scovile died few seconds after
the officer entered the room. On the bu-
reau was an envelope containing small
bit of morphine and on the envelope was
the figure 49, but whether this signified
the number of grains of the drug or the
amount that had been paid for it is not
known. The remains were removed to the
undertaking rooms of Bresee Brothers,
where an inquest will be held today The
deceaseds parents reside in Santa Monica.

Rev. j. r. Jones' Sermon at the Central
Presbyterian

ETeSUy CeT1du
At the Central Presbyterian church the
Rev. J. r. Jones spoke on christianity a
Sword" from Matt. x:34-''Think not that
/ am come to send peace on earth, 1 am not
come to send peace, but sword" In part
he said:
"Our first impression of this text Is the
seeming dissonance with the genius of
Christianity. Christianity is a religion of
peace. When its founder was born the ma
tons were hushed in peace in silent uncon-
scious homage to Him, the great Redeem
er, and the angelic heralds proclaimed,
Peace on earth. good will to men, Its
purpose is peace. Jesus died that God and
man might be made one, and by perfect
reconciliation the peace of God might
reign in human hearts. Its acknowledged
ideal for human society is that nations
might beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks; and
fondly in faith awaits the time when the
arts of war shall be transformed under
the gentle touch Of peace and the vine
and fig tree and the home shall be the seats
of strength and happiness. How strange,
then to hear these words from the lips of
our savior. Yet beneath the surfaced is, a
thorough harmony, and Christ brings
peace because the sword is not drawn in
vain. The text is first a prophecy. 1t
points to the prosecutions under the Ro-
man emperors when profession Of Christ
meant torture and death. 1t speaks Of that
time when an unbridled religious fanati-
cism should array Catholic against Prot
estant, when Torquemada and the Duke
of Alva and Bloody Mary should arise to
their bloody work. We must not forget.
however, that Christianity is the occasion
and ont the cause Of bloodshed and war.
Christianity bears the sword that peace
may reign. Righteousness can never be
party to peace at any price," The tri-
umph of righteousness must come only
after the desolation of the sword. Christ
brings peace after the bugles have sung
twice and the sword has been sheathed."

STRONG FOR FUSION
Administration Council Of Silver Re.
publicans Take Action

Nathan Cole is hopefn! Of the success CT
fusion in the coming campaign with the re-
form parties. He was seen last night and
from him it was learned that the Silver
Republicans are intent on effecting fusion
and are willing to make am sacrifices tc
unite the progressive reform forces Of the
state.
At a meeting of the council Of admins
tration of the party, held on Saturday, it
was unanimously decided that unless the
Democrats and Populists came together
and formed an amicable and honorable fu-
sion the Silver Republicans would unite
with neither. The Silver Republican lead
ers do not propose to traffic and decker be-
tween parties. They are anxious for fu-
sion and are willing to forego all position
and place on the union state ticket to bring
this about.

AN IRREvoCABLE DECISION
If You Want to Be Policeman DOM
Count on John Francis Help

Sir John F. Francis has expressed de-
termination as Interchangeable as the laws
of nature never again to help man to be-
come a policeman in this city. No candi-
date for brass buttons and a blue coat
need apply to him. Sir John will not chin
the police commission to secure a job for
the best fellow that ever wished to walk
beat, stop a runaway horse, catch a thief,
boss a crossing, eat peanuts free, smile at
the girls or tickle drunkard's feet with
his club to make him move on. The why
and wherefore of this remarkable hard
beartedness in such kindly disposed citi-
zen of prominence, whose pull Is as strong
as the magnet which drew Mohammed's
coffin to the roof of the mosque in Mecca
is the result of misplaced confidence.
The knight has had experience, and ex-
periencia docet He did once upon time
cause the appointment Of cop, and the ir.
responsible wretch, not having the fear of
God and humanity before his eyes, imme-
diately started in as soon as he had been
left in charge of his beat on San Pedro
street to wet" his new clothes by drink
ing so much coon whisky that he had to
be toted to the station in the patrol wagon.
This man lasted just one afternoon on the
force.
Since then Sir John has had occasion TO
refuse his aid in getting policemen evolved
out of a mere mortal being, for good and
sufficient cause Some one, who is evil

the climax to his gable by charging that

but he draws the line at making cops.

Frank Had Some Fun

Three Chinese were riding down Main
street between First and Second yesterday
afternoon and Frank S. Sistoyes, a mes
senger boy who was also riding bicycle,
thought he would have some fun at their
expense. He ran into one and showed him
off the wheel and tried to repeat the joke
on All Ying, another Chinese. Both riders
fell together and then the mix-up came.
The pair were putting up pretty fight I'm
til Deputy Constable MenZer took them to
the police station, where they were
