FRANK WILGOX CO0. CTROPS AND CONVERSIONS Methodist Oonference Discusses Aid to Be 5 @iven to Weak Ohurches. DROUTH MA'ES IT A SERIOUS PROBLEM All Determined that Falluro of Iurvests Bhall Not Ketard Spiritual Advancement ~Clnsses Advanced to Deaconate and Ministry—Work for the Freedmen. One matter that is agitating the minds of the members of the conference is the caring for the weak churches in the districts most af- fected by the drouth of the past summer. ' ~¥ene of the ministers are feeling blue at the " gutlook. It is a characteristic of Methodist ministers that they never feel blue. They “@lways recognize the gravity of a situation that confronts them, but they have an all- eblding faith, and they feel that if they only et out and do their best the Lord will look « @fter the rest. That is the way they feel @bout the condition of things in the drouth atricken portions of the state. But the burden will bear heaviest on the churches In the northern part of the state. a rule, these churches are all poor from financial standpoint, and gmall in member- qhip. Even In prosperous times it is hard for them to get along, and now that hard )es have come they feel that they are led upon to bear too much. All this will ult in the consolidation of charges. In er words, charges that have heretofore two ministers, will now have only one. thie way the ministers will be called upon do double duty. )y Rev. W. H. Carter of Dixon county says o work of the church will be greatly re- ed by the existing conditions. A great ¥ of the brethren will have to be assisted rough the winter, and this of itself will ail an extra burden upon the brotherhood. Rev. J. Will Miller of St. Paul Is an op- mist. There is nothing on earth that would scourage him. He says that three-fourths the people of Howard county will have be assisted in a measure, and fully one- palf will have to depend upon the bounty the county until a crop can be harvested. t this does not discourage Mr. Miller. *' He says it may all Tesuit in a curtailment of the work, but it will not affect the zeal the Methodists in his section of the fiumq. They are golng to reap a crop of verts during the next year, even though hey fail to harvest a crop of grain. His Istrict will, however, have to have some elp It it keeps up with the work that it has n doing. Rev. C. C. Snavely of North Bend re- ports that while the crops in his county were not up to the average, the people were ot suftering, nor will the county authorities alled upon to take any extraordinary the care of the destitute. His growing, and he expects to in- its good work during the coming FACING IT COURAGEOUSLY. Dr. George Martin, chaplain of the Kearney dustrial school, is perhaps the best posted n in the state on the needs of the people n the burned out districts. Dr. Martin was ¢ the head of the relief bureau four years From a religlous standpoint, he says o drouth was a great setback. It will put & complete stop to the bullding of new urches, and some churches already built @ not paid for will be lost to congrega- s that made some bitter sacrifices to secure a roof under which to worship. He ys that the Methodist church will be nd in the front rank when it comes to Relping the needy, and that creed, color or eondition will not be inquired into. Rev. Mr. Martin, pastor of the First ethodist church at Grand Island, says that fle the work of fhe church will be greatly rded because of the drouth, it will still forward and not backyard. The First hodist congregation of nd Island now ims the finest church building outside of ha in the North Nebraska conference. t has just been completed and will be dedi- ted next Sunday, free from debt, Rev. r. Martin polnts to this as an example of hat the Methodlsts In his section of the te are doing, despite the hard times and fallure of crops. Methodism In his sec- s growing and will coutinue to grow. people will have (o be assisted through the winter, and his congregation is prepar- ing o do its share in assisting needy mem- bers of that denomination in that vieinity. It is generally conceded that the church as a whole will be called upon for more aid for weak churches than ever before in the history of the denomination in Nebraska. There are a great many churches in Ne- braska which have mever been self-support- ing, and these have been assisted by the mission. The present conditions will force many congregations, which have hitherto been able to stand alone, into the class that must be helped, and this will necessitate greater sacrifices than ever on the part of members of the church everywhere. A large number of the delegates to the conference were interviewed regarding this matter, and whie all realize the gravity of the situa- tion. not one shows the least traces of dis- couragement. They are simply preparing for harder work on smaller stipends, confi- dent that it they do their best all will end well, FREEDMEN AND MISSIONS, The session yesterday was devoted to com- mittee work and the interests of the Freed- men's Ald and the Women's Foreign Mis- slonary society. The first address was de- livered by Dr. Rees of Chicago, the secre- tary of the Freedmen's Ald soclety, and was devoted to a review of what had been ac- complished by the society and its plans for the future. The speaker dwelt at some length on the conditions of ignorance which prevailed in the south. He contended that these condi- tions were a greater menace to the pros- perity of the republic than elther pauper immigration or intemperance. There were 2,000,00 of voters in the southern states who could not read their ballots, and as a general thing they were stmpry tools in the hands of unscrupulous politicians. There was an equal number of mothers who did mot know the letters of the alphabet, and before there could be enlightenment in the south it would be necessary to educate the parents as well as the children. At the close of his address a collection was taken up for the benefit of the cause. The Women's Missionary soclety occupied the remainder of the session, and the address was delivered by Mrs. W. B. Halford of this city. Mrs. Halford spoke earnestly on the great good which was being accomplished by the society, and urged its members to make an added effort to increase its membership and usefulness. The evening session was the educational anniversary, and very interesting addsesses were delivered by Chancellor Crock and Rev. T. C. Clendenning. ORDINATION OF DEACONS. Rev. Frank Crane led the devotional ex- | ercises at the North Nebraska conference in the morning. After these exercises somo minor conference business was transacted, and then Bishop Andrews addressed the class of deacons, consisting of nine mem- bers. The bishop held up as an example of the Christlan minister the life of the Apostle Paul, and urged the class to strive for that faith and earnestness and self- sacrificing devotion which made Paul the greatest of Christian ministers. The life of Paul was carefully set forth in the clear manner characteristic of Bishop Andréws, and the class was visibly affected. At the conclusion of the address the class arose and answered .the usual questions, after which Bishop Andrews invoked upon them the blessings of God. 'fhe following men were members of the class: T. P. Donnel- ley, R. J. Millard, B. B. Kelster, J. H. Voght, E. W. Erickson, E. R. Adriance, A. L. Kellogg, H. H. St.” Louls, Then the results of the examinations in the fourth year were announced, and It was found that the following ministers had passed: W. H. Underwood, —. —, Eilis, W. H. Lynn, Robert. J. Cocking, John T. Crooks, Thomas Bithell. R. Snyder was recommended for deacon's orders by the Grand Island dis- trict, and the recommendation was favor- ably acted upon. George C. Cobb w: similarly recommended by the Neligh dis- trict and was accepted. J. M. Bothwell and | Cyrus P. Cheeseman of the Norfolk district were elected to deacon's orders. Omaha district had no candidates for orders. Howard T. Canaday of the lowa conference | appeared with a recommendation that he be elected to deacon's orders. This was because he was unable to reach the lowa conference in tjme. Mr. Canaday, who is & gentleman of color, was duly elected. The location of the next conference then ca up. Grand Island w the first In the field, and Rev.

Fremont has had it twice, and it gets It again, the vote standing: Fre- mont, 37; Grand Island, 2. Rev. Mr. Miller of St. following resolution: Whereas, Whenever in the adjustment of our men in the conference it has been neces- sary for brethren to be transferred to this conference we have recelved them kindly and given them a cordial welcome; and ‘Whereas, These brethren, however worthy, could not be brought in without displacing a large number of brethren equally worthy, therefore Resolved, That we respectfully request our presiding bishop mot to transfer any one to our conference without transferring some one of equal standing and rank out of the conference; and Resolved, That we respectfully request the board of bishops to apply this rule to future administrations in this conference. An attempt was made to strike out the last paragraph on the ground that this confer- ence could not bind future conferences, but only three ministers voted for it, and the rezolution was adopted. WANT THEM IN HEAVEN, Rev. Dr. Leonard, secretary of the mis- sionary soclety, was introduced to the con- ference and explained in detail the work of the different mi:sions and of the impor- tance of missionary and benevolent work. He made some sarcastic remarks about the good buothers who were always guarding the treasury of the church; who always fig- ured out that the ministers were robbing the church for the benefit of missions. I hope such men will go to heaven,” said Dr. Leonard. “The sooner the better,” claimed a delegate. “Amen,”” said all the delegates. “And may they have no successors tinued Dr. Leonard. “Amen! Amen!” congregation. Dr, Leonard then told how he announced missionary services. He told those who were narrow-minded and stingy, who cared nothing for the lost ones, to stay at home on the following Sunday and medidate on their meanness, All others were invited to come out and take part in the services. ‘‘No- body dares stay at home after that,” said Dr. Leonard, “It's too big a risk.” ~ Some advice as to forming plans for missionary work was given, and some startling figures were given tc show what could be done by concerted work. At this peint it was announced that the hour had arrived for delivering the con- terence over to the Nebraska Wesleyan uni- versity, and Chancellor Crook arose and presented his cause. He sald that Ne- braska Wesleyan was the daughter of all the missionary socleties and was furnishing the men to carry on the great work of the ministry, but it was laboring under a ter- rible - lcad. At times it had seemed that the end had come, but each time the school had escaped. But all of this put the university in a false light, The chancellor felt sure that by next June the university would be out of debt. He had noticed that the great God of nature gave the earth a Sabbath about once every seven years, and this year was evidently a Sab- bath year. He believed that the coming year would be & prosperous one. Prof. Ellinwood read a brief statement of rsity's finances. It Is in debt about $50,000, uffl this was pressing heavily upon the scnool. The property is in peril, for a mortgage of $15,000 is due the 1st of next month, and the parties holding the mortgage wanted the money. Prof. Ellin- wood's remarks did not tend to make the assembled Methodists feel good, for it was a gloomy report. Rev. Mr. Clendenning, finan- clal agent of the university, got up and made a talk. He wiped away that gloomy feeling, and made everybody feel good, for he had it figured out that despite drouth and crop failure the university would be saved, and he read the figures, too. So he had four ministers pass among the congregation and take pledges for the payment of the debt, and & neat sum was promised. then everybody Joined in singing God from Whom All Blessings and Bishop Andrews pronounced the benediction, PULPIT ANNOUNCEMENTS, This mornin; Bishop Andrews will preach in the Seward street church, and the In the afternoon the elders will be ordained.

(Copyrighted 1884 by the As ed Press) LONDON, Oct. 6.—Three: theatrical novel- tles of the first interest have signalized the past week here, In addition to others of secondary dramatic value, and excellent busi- ness has been done at the theaters having real attractions. The latter, however, do not include the Princess, where Mme. Anna Rupert has been presenting Clement Scott's version of ‘‘Odette,” or Toole's theater, where Trippe Edgar has been giving Hoyt's “A Trip to Chinatown." On Monday last the Aminites company of natives from Cochin-China, who have just finished an engagement at the Antwerp ex- position, produced at the Aquariam a biz- arre, gorgeous plece in which are scenes supposed to represent events which happened during the war between China and Japan over Corea. The Criterion theater opened on Wednes- day last with Arthur Jones' new play, “The Case of Rebellious Susan,” in which Charles Wyndham and Mary Moore made their re- appearance. The audience and critics pres- ent rendered a unanimous verdict that the play is a brilliant one, but one of action and not of character, It is a distinct example of the present tendency of British dramatic art, “The New Woman'' |s incidentally discussed and wholly scorned. The honors were with Wyndham, who was the backbone of every scene of interest. As already cabled, the rebellious young lady of the plot is without aspirations to independence, but she finds herself out of harmony with her surround- ings. At the Royalty theater on Tuesday last there was & wrefched premier—James Mort- imer and Charles Klein's poor farce, ““Truth- ful James,” which was preceded by Mortimer's _ curtain raiser, “A Pious Fraud.” The blood and thunder drame received a -highly successful accession at the Surreyothéater on Thurs- day In Sirley and Conquest's “‘Phantoms.” At the Princess theater, Manchester, Thursday, Carl Rosa produced Tosca's two- act opera, “Santa Lucia,” a Strong compaci work modeled on “C: ‘llzha Rusticania,” ete. Lillian Russell, in *‘The “Queen of Bril- lants," is to finish her séasof at the Lyceum theater on Thursday. M. ZOLA'S NEW PIECE. Emile Zola has contracted to write a four- act, five-scene libretto for the management of the grand opera “Doris.': | German newspapers stata; that the future will probably not see anojher opera from Rubenstein's pen. The failure of “Kinder der Haide,” recently giyen :at Dresden, in which the German critics falled to discover any merit_and which the audience regarded with aversion reduced . to hisses, following upon the exceedingly cold reception given to “The Demon’ at the Royal Itallan opera—even though Mme. Albani ap- peared as the heroine—has disgusted the great Russian and is responsible for his rea- son to “write no more opera for the un- gratetul world." Certainly his less ambitious compositions have always been more pop- ular and more comprehended by the people, and his own interpretations of the composi- tions of others have been more popular still. Just at present he has several minor sub- fects in hand, one of which js a ballet music for an opera, though for the opera Rubenstein does not intend to compose more than inci- dental morceau.

It is intended to hold weekly mectings for the discussion of the drama and the study of the plays, Shakespearian and modern. Lectures by distinguished members of the profession will be delivered and possibly ome or two of the leading dramatists and critics will also add papers Quring the winter. The club proposes to gather within its membership all the leading entertaining talent of the place. It will have an annual “production” and the services of the members of the club will always be available for charitable and other objects. The sphere and influence of such an organ- ization may easily be made very great. It marks a step in the greatly altered condition of the relations between the play house and the public, relations which, in one form or ancther, are undergoing vital changes in the land of Shakespeare and Pinero, Paris is all agog over the coming legal battle between the Comedic Francaise and Coaueline, the elder, which has long been determined upon, should Coqueline actually accept an engagement at any other Par play house than that of Moloire. The posi- tive announcement of las k that Co- queline had agreed to app with Sarah Bernhardt at the Renaissance fluttered through Paris, and since then the air has been full of reported coming legal motions. The great comedian has had disputes with the Comedie before now, which have been adjusted without the intervention of the courts, but this time, says M. Jules Claretie there ‘can be no such adiustment EXPERIENCE OF EIGHT YEARS AGO. Eight years ago M. Coqueline left the Francaise by arrangement, with the stipula- tion that he was not to appear on any stage in Paris or France. Three years later he was received in the fold, but he had lost his position as ‘“‘societaire” and could only be- come an honorable ‘‘pensionaire.”” But he was not content, and in 1892 he left the Comedie for good. Of course, against his leaving M. Claretie could do nothing effect- ually, but that gentleman has announced that 50 long as it becomes certain that Coqueline is about to appear at another Paris theater an injunction will be asked from the courts. Doubtless Coqueline has thought of all this in agreeing to support the only Sarah. It may seem a little harsh to attempt to stop M. Coqueline, but it should not be forgotten that he has benefited by the privileges and | advantages of the National theater all his life, and it s a little unfair that he should now place bis talents at the disposal of the rival, E. G. Plymton has completed the music of an operetta to the libretto to *'Huan Mee," which Is belng debated at the Palace theater. The Australian rights have been disposed of to Messrs. Willlamson and Musgrove. W. S. Gilbert, some years ago, accepled a com- mission from Mr. Plymton for a libretto to the order of Charles Morton. Circumstances interfered with it, but it is expected he will find time during the now approaching winter to look after the subject. DVORAK'S LATEST THEME. Longfellow's *“Hiawatba" has been selected by Dvorak as the theme for his next opera. Preliminary pantomime announcements are beginning to impress upon the public that another coaxing night will soon be within measurable distance. Sir Augustus Harris announces the engagement of Ada Blanche, Lilly Harold, Pattie Browne, the Griffiths brothers, Dan Leno and Herbert Campbell, as principals in “Dick Whittington,” ““The Fatal Card,” at the Adelphl, is drawing £100 a night, more money than taken in by the ““Harbour Lights"—the previous production at_the Temple of Melodram H. W. Dam s rewriting America. his Dook on Wilson Barrett writes the Associated press | that in his new play, which is to deal with the question of “The New Woman," he ex- pects to be set upon by a thousand tongues. “I set out with the Intent of teaching a very strong moral lesson, indeed. ow far my collaborateur and 1 have succeeded must be determined by the eritics. Of one thing [ am sure—that should our teachings be con demned, then all teaching must be c demned. If the use of certaln expressions absolutely necessary to the telling of the story are objected to, then it will be neces- sary to revise the ten commandments and delete words which are repeated by men, women and chiliren wherever there is a church. My object is to present life in true colors, trusting to people's discrimina- tion good and evil to appreclate the moral, The play will be fArst seen at Cardiff or Liverpool about the end of October. Those who are supposed to be au courant with the Intimate life of Queen Victoria declare that her majesty is vexed with the ‘New Woman" movement and she detests the idea which permits a wife to disobey her husband. If this be so, it is certain Mr. Barrett will never have the felicity of staging his new play at Balmoral or Wind- sor, “by ecommand of the queen. Mme. Cavallazesie, the widow ot Charles Mapleson, who for §0 many easons past has personated male villains in ballets, is to take a female part in the next produc- tion at the Empire during the second week of_October. Sarah Bernhardt has signed with M. Mayer to give a series of performances in London next season. Despite adverse criticism, the “Queen of Brilliants” has been drawing houses and doing a paying business. When the Sevoy theater opens a revised version of “Mirette” will be presented. The text is by Adrian Ross and Andre Messager has written many new musical numbers for the work. All this doubtless has much to do with the loudly heralded alterations in the theater orded by the county council. The fashion of using the machinery of limited liability companies to finance theatri- cal ventures ‘is growing in London, burlesque and comedy syndicate, with 000 capital, and the Comedy Drama s: cate, with 000, are announced for early birth, Both have been formed for the pur- pose of financing a ‘“‘promising rew work’ —one apiece—of the Galety school, and the other of the Charley's Aunt order. Thomas Nast, who is on his way to Amer- ica to paint the historical picture of “Lee's Surrender,” which H, H. Kohlsaat is to pre- sent to the city of Galena, will probably return to London in the spring and give a course of his illustrated lectures at the Lyceum. Mr. Irving has placed his theater at Mr. Nast's disposal for the purpose. AT OMAHA PLAYHOUSES, Much Interest Felt In the Coming Engage- ent of Julia Viarlowe-Tab r, During the brief span of Julla Marlowe- Taber's artistic career Mary Anderson has gone into domestic retirement and Margaret Mather has followed suit. Marie Wainwright, never. constant to the Shakespearean muse. has taken refuge with “Camille’ and “Frou Frou And now that Madame Modjeska's permanent retirement from the stage has been anticipated by her departure from th country, who is there 10 divide the public's favor with Julia Marlowe? All reports coneur in confirming that never yet has the dramatic work of Julia Marlowe been so0 happily marked by a blending of high spirits and good health as since the re- turn of Mr. and Mrs. Taber from their European honeymoon. And in this fact lies much piquant stimulation for the lively curl- osity with which the first joint reappearance of this couple, 8o happily mated in love and in art, is anticipated, While by no means neglecting her cholce bevy of Shakespeare's lightlicarted and lovely young heroines—the repertoire of this sea- son embraces Rosalind, Viola, Juliet and Beatrice—Julla Marlowe is now making a speclalty of reviving standard comedy. This policy achieved so notable a success last sea- son with Sheridan Knowles' “Love Chase," that before its close Hannah Cowley's *'Belie's Strategem’ was also taken up; the “School for Scandal” was added this year—and one of the most promising successes of this ar- tiste's entire career, Lady Teazle, promises to be. A further novelly prescnted as a contrasting afterpiece to ihe almost farcieal merriment of Mrs. Cowley’s play is Barnest Lacy's dramatie poem, 'Chatterton,” The repertoire for Mrs. Taber's apy engagement at Boyd's is announced as fol- lows: Thursday evening, October 11, “The School for Scandal”; Friday evening, October 12, the double bill, “The Belle's Stratagem' and “Chatterton”; Saturday matinee, ‘‘The Love Chase'; Saturday night, “Much Ado About Nothing." aching “Garry Owen" is the title of Tony Farrell's new Irish comedy drama, which will receive a scenic production for the first time in Omaha at the Fifteenth Street theater for three nights and Saturday matinee, beginning Thursday evening, October 11 The life his- tory of many a son of Erin furnishes sensa- tion and incident enough for a dozen dramas. and in “Garry Owen” the author has, it s sald, selzed upon a chapter of Irish life and skillfully evolved an interesting plot, which, while strongly dramatic and {ull of aetion, is clean and healthy, and a commendable moral lesson as well. Love, rg chivalry and herolsm, coupled with de tell a story of an Irish hillside, in which the workings of the Irish suspect act, executed by an un- scrupulous magistrate, assisted by his con federate, a police spy, is depicted in vivid colore. The great chiarm of the play lles in its naturalness. Not a character ¥ over- Arawn nor & situation stgained.

The title role, de- lineated by Mr. Farrell, to whom there is no superior in his line, is rendered with an inimitable charm and fidelity to nature rarely equalled. W.
