THEATRICAL GOSSIP. “It is sometimes spoken of as a remark- able achievement,” said the veteran mana- ger, Mr. John W. Albaugh, “that the sum- mer stock companies get up in a new play every week. Why, just think what we used to do in th® days of the old stock. If a star came along there would be a new play every night and the leading man had to be up in a new part every night. I re- member the first time I ever played Othello. It was in Indianapolis. I had played Iago several times, and, of course, Was generally familiar with the whole play. The manager came to me Thursday morn- ing and said I would have to get up in Othello for Friday night, as Cculdock had decided to do Iago. I tried to reason with him, but it was no use, and I went to my room and crammed with the result that I played the part the following night and was complimented on my work.

AWaRDING THE PREMIUMS a Lutheran Synod at Mansfield Transacts > ee ‘Ministers, Beginning to Be Impatient to Return to Their Homes, Harry Up the Proceedings. ‘The Lutheran synod, which has been in session at Mansfield, Ohio, for several days, got down to hard work yesterday, and more business was transacted during the morning session than has come before the convention since its beginning. As a starter, a resolution was passed inform- ing the citizens of Mansfield thet the in- vitation to be shown around the city, which the synod had decided to accept, could not be accepted at all, owing to the pressure of business and the limited time for its transaction. A number of the ministers are becoming impatient to return home, and the mileage committee, with which all return transpor- tation was fixed at the opening of the synod, reported that numerous requesis have been made for return tickets. By the rules of the synod no delegate is allowed to leave the city except by permission of The assembly. Rev. Cromer's Statement. Rev. J. M. Cromer of Kansas City caused a litile ripple of excitement at the opening of the morning session by stating that certain newspapers had printed ar- Ucles stating that the synod had been di- vided in the election of officers by parti- san differences between the conservatives and radicals, and that the tide of election was turned through the influence of the conservativ: Rev. Cromer stated that the articles were misstatements, as the synod was a perfectly and wholly l.ar- monious body, and that no influences what- ever had been brought to bear in the elec- tion. He introduced a resolution that the synod express disapproval of the re- Yorts, which was adop: After these preliminaries the regular or- der was proceeled with, and Rev. H. H. Weber, general secretary of the board of church extension, submitted the fourteenth biennial ort. ‘The receipts from the churches have been larger than during the previous two years. Report Board of Charch Extension. The receipts, including the balance, were 00,592, an increase of over 27 per cent, quite a number ‘of the synods having ex- ceeded their apportion. The bequests amounted to $2,712, a decrease of $1,182, but the general secretary knew personally of over $1,000 that had been put into wills for the board. Nineteen churches had re- turned their loans in full or in part. Loans, donations and special appropriations amounting to $74,159 had been made to church 1 more than during the preced- ing two years. The total assets of the board are $350, or, less the trust property, the net as are $264,721. The board asked for an apportionment of $35,000 for the next two years. This was followed by the report of Treas- urer Carl. The balance on hand June 8, 1895, was $3,769, and the receipts during the biennum were $4,699, making $8,468 available. Dis- bursements were $5,815, the balance on hand May 7, 1807, being $2, Report of Deaconess Board. The report of the deaconess board was submitted by Rev. F. P. Manhart. The Lutheran deaconess house was opened in Baltimore in October, 1895. The growth of the institution was so rapid that additional room was made necessary, and this was secured in September, 1896. At present there are in the institution seven deacon- esses, six probation and two candidates. In answer to a question, Rev. Manhart e: plained that young women becoming dea- conesses do not assume life vows, but have the prerogative of leaving the work at any time they so desire. Donations in the way of necessities of life have been very liberal, and cash donations have amounted to $263. The receipts of the deaconness board from the different syn- ods during the biennium amounted to $7,723; the expenses, $7,433, leaving a cash balance of $200. The report of Louis Mauss, treasurer of the general synod, was submitted and showed a deficiency of $1,500. The synod Passed a resolution to make a temporary loan to cover this deficlency. Report of Statistical Secretary. The report of Willis Hinman, statistical secretary, was then submitted. It said it, would be a cause of regret that the finan- cial depression of the past few years had affected the work. There are at present in the district syn- ods, 1,508 churches; a gain of 32 in two years; 205 preaching stations: a gain of 33. There were 312 students for the ministry, a decrease of 12. The losses numbered 11,442, but the accessions were 36,940, of which 18,260 were by confirmation. The present communicant membership is 184,- | 728, an increase of 11,320 over the previous biennium. The value of the property owned by the churches ts $11,743,789, a gain of $1,366, 402. The indebtedness is $1,195,812, an increase of $53,892. The local expenses of the congregations were $2,388,474, a de- crease of $103,165. There are 1,562 Sunday schools, an fi crease of 137, with 23,061 teachers, an in- crease of 711, and 185,354 scholars, a gain of 7,153. The schools contributed for local objects, $212,884, which was $10,704 more than in the previous biennium, and gave for benevolence, $89,919, a decrease of $8,796. There are enrolled in the young. people's societies, 44,248 members, who con- tributed $50,085 for local objects and $18,- 348 for benevolence. The total benevolent contributions of the congregations were $509,468, a decrease of $68,559. The total of moneys raised for all purposes was $3,005,620, a decrease of $120,798. It was noted that the decrease was largely due to the falling off of contributions in 1896, those for 1896 showing a gain of $31,005 over the previous year. ——+o+—____ DELAWARE’S NEW JUDICIARY.

Investigation of Sugar Trust Stock Seandal the Text—Passage of Words During the Tariff Debate. In the Senate yesterday afternoon Mr. Hear (Mass.) offered his amendment for the appointment by the President of a commission of five members to investigate into the subject of sugar production and the best means of supplying the American market at the least cost. He said the raising of revenue from sugar has been a subject of contention for 150 years in England and this country. He did not think any considerable portion of the people believed that the men who had framed these and former tariff schedules were impelled by any other than honorable motives. But the men who make these tariffs are met by subtle and conflicting questions which had already broken down one of the senators (Mr. Aldrich). Mr. Hoar urged, therefore, that his proposed ecminission would command the best taient of the country in presenting to the Senate the fuliest information concerning sugar. Next to the development of our virgin Wheat fields, the development of the sugar beet would be the greatest boon to agri- culture. Reverting again to published siatements of irregularity in connection with the sugar schedule, Mr. Hoar said that although it had been suggested in the piess that somebody had been bribing sen- ators, these statements are received by serious people throughout the country “with absolute contempt.” Mr. Allison suggested that this was such an important question that it ought to be considered by the finance committee. Mr. Hoar agreed to the reference of the emendment to the committee, and this was don Mr. Jones (Ark.) said that the tariff com- mission inaugurated in i883, at the in- stance of republicans, had accomplished no good. Mr. Tillman (S. C.) then answered Mr. Hear. He said he had the deepest respect for the integrity of the senator from Ma achusetts, but perhaps he had become c: leus in his long service, as was indicated by the statement that the best people of both parties treated with contempt the statements that there was irregularity in making the sugar schedule. But, said Mr. Tillman, when published statements Were made that senators were in (ouch with sugar barons, when circumstan- al evidence was at hand that a huge monopoly levied tribute on the public, that the American people were helpless in the grasp of this octopus, then it was strange indced that any senator should ass@t that the people treat with contempt these charges. On the contrary, he declared, the beople wanted an investigation; they want- ed the honor of the Senate vindicated or the men who slandered it punished. For that reason, Mr. Tillman said, he had con- templated an amendment to Mr. Hoar’s Proposition, so that the commission would not only inquire i mere machinery of sugar makin; also “whether ihe sugar trust has used undue means to con- trol legislation, and to get at the root of how it is. and why it is that the American Senate can't touch sugar without getting contaminated.” Mr. Hoar was agai: on his feet and, speaking with great deliberation, made his response to Mr. Tillman. Turning to the South Carolina senator, Mr. Hoar said there were some men who seemed to think that down beneath the body of the people there was a great mass of seething people eager for extremes. He knew through and through the character, purposes and opin- ions of the men who get their living from the farms and factories of Massachusetts. He had sprung from a yeoman, his asso- ciations had been with that class, and he knew what they were thinking about. “They are,” he proceeded, impressively, “simple, sincere, honest, liberty-‘oving Go.l- fearing men. They think no evil, and the appeal to vile passions falls on deaf ears with them.” “Will the senator permit me?” broke in Mr. Tillman. Mr. Hoar went on without pausing. The men who make up the farms and the fac- tories were the same the country over, -he said. Their kinsmen had turned west- ward, building up a new empire there, a larger and a more glorious New Eng- Jand. “And I hold,” concluded Mr. Hoar, “that to the great body of these people, these charges are not only preposterous, but infamous.’ Mr. Tillman again was ready with a reply. “As to the seething mass of igno- rance, as the senator from Massachusetts had designated the masses,” said Mr. Till- man. But the Massac’ setts senator promptly interrupted him. deny that statement,” said Mr. Hoar. “I said just the contrary and my statement is perverted.” “Very well,” answered Mr. Tillman, “you are the last man I would be willing to mis- represent to his face.” % While he claimed no special mission, he went on, yet he claimed to have come from the farm and from the people, and to have come to the Senate more recently than the Massachusetts senator. He knew, he said, that the only thing infamous in this transaction, in the view of the people, was the refusal to investigate and this ef- fort to “hide behind the senatorial toga.” If the Senate persisted in this, then it was disgraced pefore the people. Public charges had been made that bribery was abroad in connection with this subject. “And unless you investigate, you stand convicted,” as- serted the senator. After this diverting incident the Senate came back to the biil and Mr. Lindsay moved to strike out 195-100 cents and in- sert 1 8-10 cents as the rate on sugar. He argued that the rate of the bill was too high, and gave exceptional advantage to the refiners. This drew from Mr. Allison an animated defense of the paragraph. The Senate paragraph differed from the original House provision, he said, in only one particular, viz, the substitution of 1.95 for 1.875, which difference amounted to only 71-2 cents per 100 pounds. He asserted that the ascending scale of 3-100 cents on each degree above 7% was not an excessive benefit to the re- finer. The senator submitted tables show- ing, he said, that the differential under the Wilson law is greater than that of the Senate provision now under consideration. He challenged contradiction to these tables, for, he declared emphatically, he was tired of these accusations that the committee had increased by 50 or 60 per cent the pro- tection to the sugar refiners. Mr. Allison incorporated in his speech a very Interesting table giving the first de- tailed explanation from the republican side of the new sugar schedule. In commenting upon it he said: “I have the absolute cal- culations here and when it is said there is @ protection, or differential, lying in this scale running from 75 to 100 degrees, I re- ply that that differential is not to be seen. Mr. Allison then presented a table show- ing the differential on the law of 1894, the House bill and the proposed Senate sched- ule, from sugar of 75 degrees up to refined sugar. The main notes are shown as fol- lows: Seventy-five degrees—Differential, 1904, 56.29; House, 40.82; Senate, 62.90. Bighty-eight _degrees—Differential, 1894, 28.48; House, 17.85; Senate, 24.85. Ninety-six degrees — Differential, 1894, 19.82; House, oat Soe eS One hundred degrees—Different law, 1804, 21.82; House, 12.50; Senate, 20.00. ‘When Mr. Allison was asked why his fig- ures differed from those of Mr. Aldrich, who made the original statement, he an- Bwered that his (Allison) scale was based upon the price of sugar in bond in New York, while Mr. Aldrich’s statement was on the price of sugar in thé Phil- Islands and Egypt. “Upon these ta- I have demonstrated, at least to my satisfaction,” he said, “that the rate here is a less rato of duty on the existing lew. In a good many cases I egree that it is only @ frac- tion less, but in every case, except two, it jtory.| is less.” |geeees SSS@Q5HS 95S 8HC SSSECO Two Weéks From Tonight The Wilson ShoeStore Will Be Vacated!

Was it wise, Mr. Allison answered, to turn over the business of sugar refining to other countries? If not, then a differ- ential must be allowed our refiners to keep the business from being done abroad. It was plain to him that unless a duty was placed on sugar, as on iron or chicory or anything else, then senators might foid their arms on the protection principle, as no one could tell how soon foreign capital and labor would do the refining now done in this country. Mr. Caffery again criticised the sugar trust, pointing out that it needed no pro- tection according to its own admissions. Everywhere, he said, was felt the baleful influence of the trust. It invades the Sen- ate, and wherever it goes it blasts and shrivels and burns. It ought to be put out of the domain of legislation, he asserted. The bill was laid aside without a vote on the pending Lindsay amendment, and at 5:10 the Senate held an executive session, adjourning soon after. HAWALIAN MATTER GOES OVER. Caucus of the Republican Senators Last Night. ‘The republican Senate caucus was in ses- sion from 8 until 11:30 o'clock last night. The propositions under consideration were: The question of what to do with the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty, the advisabil- ity of giving a bounty on beet sugar, and the question of an anti-trust amendment. The Hawaiian treaty question was laid aside; the sugar bounty proposition was withdrawn, and the anti-trust amendment was referred to the republican members of the judiciary committee. The Hawaiian question was the first mat- ter taken up after the caucus opened. This subject had been referred to the finance committee, and Senator Allison, speaking on behalf of the committee, said that it had been deemed advisable to pass the matter over on account of the strong prob- ability of morg important happenings in connection with Hawaii. He did not speak in terms of an annexation treaty, but he said that it was to be presumed that sen- ators had read the afternoon report of the Associated Press. He was understood by all the senators present to refer to-the re- Come in and get the names of some in your neigh- borhood who recommend us as fine dentists.
