In the Third District the com- mitteemen representing that territory have already ignored the committee appointed by Hillborn and named a new one. Itis held by some that the only Congressional committees of the last campaign which “RREVITY IS THE SOLE OF WIT,” SAID the proverb-maker, and on this occasion he was not far from meking a point that would count in a contest of wise sayings. But that question of proverbs covers a pret.y wide field. On the one hand you are told that “Evervthing comes to him who knows how to wait,” and agamn that “Those who knock londest and longest will enter first.”” You have heard doubtless that “It can never do harm to tell the truth”” (especialiy if you are going somely and new prospects are looking bright.

REV. DR. DILLE'S SERMON. He Talks of the Necessity of Providing Homes for Young Mea. The Rev. Dr. Dille delivered his even- ing sermon last night to a congregation that filled every seat in the Central M. E. Church. I His sermon was a continuation Qf a | | series of talks on the subject of amuse- ments. Hesaid that it is a duty of the | | church to provide healthy recreation for | the young people, particularly young men | | | b who in this City are without homes. The ! Young Men’s CHristian Association he | said did work in this line, but that it can- | not look after one in ten of the homeless | young men of the City and asserted that | | there are at least 15,000 young men who do | | not know what home is. The church he | said should be open to these so they would turn from the saloon, the dives and the theaters. He expressea himself as opposed to fish- ponds, grab-bags, ring cakesand the like as means to raise funds for the church and declared that a church that stoops to such methods should bury itself decently and that quickly. He “expressed the belief | tbat-the church of the future would be | open every day in the week and that it | would have bright and cheerful rooms | with good literature and the magazines. He also spoke of the need of home influ- ence to keep young people there instead of having them run around at nights and urged the need of making the home at- tractive. Two Suicides.

Buffalo Bill was there, as were many typical representatives of various Indian tribes. Subsequently he did work for Judge and for Frank Leslie’s. Later he had charge of P.

In 1890 he began the publication in New York of Talent, a monthly devoted to lyceum lecturers and he still retains the ownership of the magazine of which he is editor, altbough for the last three vears he has been engaged in lecturing tours. Mr. Spedon says that newspaper illus- tration requires theskilled and rapid artist, one who can produce a picture without the usualrecourse to modelsand other sketches for comparison of particular poses. He thinks that there should be more attention given in art schools to practical instruc- tion that will fit the student for newspaper illustrating and an appreciation of lines as affected by the process of reduction re- quired for théMinal print. SOME POLITICAL D0UBTS Those Waiting Questions About Republican Congressional Committees. The Week Will Also Bring Chris Buckley and Developments in the Junta Fights. The members of the Republican State Central Committee from the interior had, with few exceptions, departed for home yesterday, and about. the City the politi- cians generally made themselves comfort- able or joyous and kept *‘out of politics.” To-day and during the week there will be careful studies made by many Repub- licans to straighten out the initial confu- sion that has followed the new and strange vlan of having the primary elections for the State convention held under the au- = ;%m SR 7 o 7/, o, maL e e TR e ' BIRDSEYE VIBW OF GRASS VALLNY. e e G T ot i e S U et —— " N S \‘:\Q\\ \ BN i Death fiunnud the hero from carry- ing out his intentions and seeking the /. | land, but eur( one recognized that its de- = scription tallied with the accounts given SOV ship, as it is now doing, and to especially extend its membership in the interior. In accordance with this policy the pow- ers of the committee on political action are to be enlarged, giving it more initial power and independence than it now pos. sesges under the rules. This committee will not be likely to do mucu before nomi- nations are made, but it is already clear- ing its decks. Day before yesterday the committee met and extended its organiza- tion by electing R. B. Carpenter president and W. B. amilton secretary. Irving M. Scott remains chairman. The chair- man and secretary were requested to pre- pare a plan of political action to be con- sidered at a meeting to be held in the near future. The members of this committee are the following : Irving M. Scott, chairman; R. B. Car- penter, vice-chairman; W. B. Hamilton, secretary; M. M. Hecht, Wendell Easton, H. M. Gray, J. B. Barber, M. Cooney, S. M. Short, A. B. Lemmon, J. E. Doolittle, C. O’Connor, O. A. Hale, Thomas Fiint Jr., H. Z. Osborne, George Stone. This com- mittee incindes a representative of each Congressional district. The local Democratic situation remains one of quiescence on the part of the Buck- leyites, and turmoil and uncertainty in the Junta. Chris Buckley 1s expected to appear in town to-day, after over a month’s sickness and rest at Ravenswood. In the Junta the differences between the headquarters and the Rainey-Daggett ele- ments remain unsettled. That new elec- tion in the Forty-fourth has not yet been ordered, and strong efforts are being made to patch up a compromise with Maxwell. ‘When the new general commirtee will meet for organization is not announced and is uncertain. The factions in the Thirty-fourth and the Thirty-seventh are still waiting to see what Chairm: Sulli- van and the primary committeelwill do about their quarrels.” SBam Rainey is saw- ing wood all the time. EORIS PURPOSE PLAYS The Noted Anarchist Makes His Appearance as Actor and Playwright. The Applause Could Only Be Subdued by Turning On a Loud Brass Band. Pietro Gori appeared in the new roles of playwright and actor last night. In both capacities the audience tLat fillea Apollo Hall gave him the warmest indorsement. Indeed, at one point in the entertainment the applause was so obdurate and pro- longed that it finally had to be quelled by turning on a loud brass band, which played until the audience, exhausted in its efforts to be heard above the din, finally sought refuge in silence. It goes without saying that a man of Pietro Gori's pronounced views on social questions would write purpose plays. The plots of both the dramas he pro- duced last night pointed a moralas well as adorned a play. The first sketch, “Thy | Neighbor,”” was of the daring, weird order of which we have heard so much from Europeand as yet have seen so little, The | second;play, “The First of May,” although modeled according to Ibsen was very po- etical and was absolutely without any- thing painful in its treatment of social problems. The scene of “Thy Neighbor’ takes place in a pawnshop. There are some minor characters, wretched workmen struggling to keep body and soul together, who come to pawn their little all, and harpies who come to prey upon the un- fortunate, but the chief character wasa woman who comes to pawn a locket given her by a former lover in order mgny for a doctor to visit her dying child. The donor of the locket, a dissipated society man, bappens to be indulging in the in- | discretion of pawning a valuable watch and the mother throws herself on his mercy for a dole, reminding him of her wretched life and appealing to him for the child’s life. . There is a rather painful, although tell- ing, scene smrticipned in by Gori, who has married the woman but cannot get work to support her. The donor of the locket spurns the woman who kneels to him, and Gori, infuriated, strikes him and is arrested, but before giving the blow he tells his wife it is too fiate to plead—the child is dead. ““Your locket is false; we can give you nothing on it,” cries the man at the counter. ‘‘Yes, false as your love,” cries the woman to the donor. The scene ends when they tell the wife -of her husband’s arrest. “I am alone,” she- cries, then pausing, adds: “No, not alone; there is the poor dead baby who awaits my kisses.” This very modern play was cleverly acted by the following ladies and gentle- men: Signora C. A. Gaffe, Signora E. Bonini, Signorina 8. Martinelli, P. Gori, E. Ruggiero, A. Canessa, P. B. Pedretti, P. Dezzetti. “The First of May” (11 Primo Maggio) treated no gruesome questions of poverty. It was a little drama, more poetical than probable, that told the story of a young man oppressed b{ his inherited wealth, and ashamed to think that others shouid toil while he sat in idleness. At the insti- gation of a peasant girl he is about to set off to seek a Utopia described by a passin traveler (La della parte donde se leve i sole) (yonder, toward the land where the sun_rises). The description given of the land was extremely beautiful and quite brought down the house. 2 by Signor Gori of the ideal state of society which he paintsin his lectures on anarchy. A. Barberis acted excellently as the passing traveler who describes Utopia, though the hero of the evening was Pietro Gori himself, who proved to be almost as fine an actor as he is a speaker. azo, but I find I have not. the Hudson Medical Institute is all thatcould be expected or desired by any one.
