Minis try Work for the L'recclincn.
Ono matter that Is agitating the minds of the
members ot the conlcrcnce Is the caring for
the weak churches In the districts most af
fected by the drouth of the past summer.
-Jicno ol the ministers are feeling blbe at the
outlook. It la a characteristic of Methodist
ministers that they never feel blue. They
VBlways recognize the gravity of a situation
tb.at confronts them , but they bave an all-
abiding faith , and they feel that If they only
( jet out and do their best the Lord will look
i alter the rest. That Is the way they eel
About the condition of things In the drouth
fitrlcken portions of the state.
I But the burden will bear heaviest on the
churches In the northern part of the state ,
yv.n n rule , these churches are all poor from
'a financial standpoint , and small In mcmber-
hlp. Even In prosperous times It Is hard
for them to get along , and now that hard
Jmes have come they feel that they are
failed upon lo bear too much. All this -will
Result In the consolidation of charges. In
finer words , charges that have heretoloro
two ministers , will now have only ono.
wn this , way ( lie ministers will bo called upon
to do double duty.
l/Hev. W. II. Carter ot Dlxon county says
tlio work of Iho Uhurch will bo greatly re
tarded by Iho existing conditions. A great
\ fenny ol the brethren will have to bo assisted
through the winter , and this of Itself will
Intall on extra burden upon the brotherhood.
f , Rev. J. Will Miller ol St. Paul Is an op-
* tlmlst. There Is nothing on earth lhal woulif
tilscourago him. He1 says that three-fourths
Ol the- people of Howard county will have
to be assisted In a measure , and fully one-
Ijalf will liavo to depend upon the boiintj
bf Iho county until a crop can bo harvested
but this does not discourage Mr. Miller
* tie says It may all result In a curtallmon'
Of the wort , but It will not affect the zea
of the Methodists In his section of the
country. They are going to reap a. crop o
convert * during the next year , oven though
tiiey fall to harvest a crop of grain. Ills
'district will , however , have to have some
tclp If It keeps up with the work that It has
been doing.
llv. C. C. Suavely of North Bend re
ports that while the crops In his county
wcro not up to Iho average , the people were
- Shot suffering , nor will the county authorities
-1' pe called upon to take any extraordinary
leps for the care of the destitute. His

Kor. George Martin , chaplain of the Kearney
Industrial school. Is perhaps the best posted

In the burned out districts. Dr. Martin was

igo. Prom a religious standpoint , he says
the drouth was a great setback. It will put
a' complete stop lo the- building of new
churches , and some churches already built
but not p&ld for will be lost to congrega
tions that made some bitter sacrifices la
eccure a roof under which to worship. He

: he winter , and his congregation Is prcpar-
ne to do Its share In asslstlns needy mem
bers ot that denomination In that vicinity.
It Is generally conceded that the church
as a whole will bo called upon lor more aid
tor weak churches than ever before In the
history of the denomination In Nebraska.
There are a great many churches In Ne
braska which have never been -selt-support-
Ine , 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 Uiat
must be helped , and this -will necessitate
Greater sacrifices than over on the part ot
members of.the church everywhere. A large
number of the delegates to the conference
were Interviewed regarding this- matter , and
while 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 , conn-
dent that If they do their best all will end
well ,
FREEDMEN AND MISSIONS.
The session yesterday was devoted lo com-
mltteo work and the Interests ol the Frced-
men's Aid and the Women's Foreign Mis
sionary society. The first address was de
livered by Dr. Rees of Chicago , the secre
tary of the Freedmen's Aid society , 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 either pauper
Immigration or Intemperance. There- were
2,000,010 of voters In the southern states
who could not read their ballots , and as a
general thing they were slmpiy tools In the
hands of unscrupulous politicians , There was
an equal number of mothers who did not
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 ot his
address a collection was taken up for Iho
benefit of the cause.
The Women's Missionary society occupied
the remainder ot the- session , and the address
was delivered by Mrs. W. B. Halford of this
city. Mrs. Halford spoke earnestly on Iho
great good which was being accomplished by
the society , and urged Us members to make
an added effort to Increase Its membership
and utofulness.
The evening session was the educational
anniversary , and very Interesting addArftsfa
were delivered by Chancellor Crook and Rev.
T. C. Clendonnlng.
ORDINATION OF DEACONS.
Rev. Frank Crane led the devotional ex
ercises at the North Nebraska conlerence
In the morning. After these exercises some
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
ot the Christian minister the life ol the
Apostle Paul , and urged the class to Btrlvo
for that faith and earnestness and self-
sacrificing devotion which mode Paul the
greatest ot Christian ministers. The life ot
Paul was carefully set forth In the clear
manner characteristic of Bishop Andrews' ,
and the class was visibly affected. Al the
conclusion ot the address the class arose
and answered .the usual questions , after
which Bishop Audreus Invoked upon thorn
the blessings of GoJ. The following ; men
were members of the class : T. P , Donnel
ley , R. J , Mlllard , B , B. KoUter , J. II.
Voght , E. W. Erlcksou , E , R. Adriauce ,
A. L. Kellogg , H. H. St. Louis.
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. . . Ellis , W.
H. Lynn , Robert. J. Cocking , John T. Crooks ,
Thomas Blthell.
R. D , Snydcr was recommended for
deacon's orders by the Grand Island dis
trict , and the recommendation was favor
ably acted upon , George C. Cobb was
similarly recommended by the Nellgtt dis
trict and was accepted. J. M. Bothwcll 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- Iowa conference
appeared with a recommendation that ho
be elected to deacon's orders. This was
because he was unable to reach the Iowa
conference In tme. | Mr. Canaday , who it a
gentleman of color , was duly elected.
The location ot the next conference then
came up. Grand Island was the flnt In
the field , and Rev , Mr. Martin extended a
cordial Invitation , speaking ot Iho heroic
self'iacrlflces ot the First MelhoJIit Episco
pal church , and of the fact that In the
history ot the conference Grand Island bid
never been honored. Her. Mr. Slison ot

Rev. Mr. Miller of St. Paul ottered the
following resolution :
Whereas , Whenever in the adjustment ot
our men In the conference It has been neces
sary for brethren to be transferred to this
conference we have received 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 not to transfer any one to
our conference without transferring some
one of equal standing and rank out of the
conference ; and
Resolved. That w.e 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
resolution was adopted.
WANT THEM IN HEAVEN.
Rev. Dr. Leonard , secretary of the mis
sionary society , was Introduced to the con
ference and explained in detail the work
of the different mlistons and of the Impor
tance ot missionary and benevolent work.
He made some sarcastic remarks about the
good biothcrs who were always guarding
the treasury ot 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 , " fervently ex
claimed a delegate.
Amen , " said all the delegates.
And may they have no successors. " con
tinued Dr. Leonard.
Amen ! Amenl" exclaimed the whole
congregztlon.
Dr. Leonard then told how ho 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 medldate on their
meanness. All others were Invited to come
out nnd take part In the services. "No
body dares stay at home otter 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 to show what could be done by
coticertcd work.
At this point It was announced that the
hour had arrived for delivering the con
ference over to the Nebraska Wesleyan unl
verslty , and1 Chancellor Crook arose and
presented his cause. He said that Ne
braska Wesleyan was the daughter of all
the missionary societies and was furnishing
the men to carry on the great work ot the
ministry , but It was laboring under a ter
rible lead. At times It had
seemed that the end had come ,
but each time the school had csca&ed. Out
all of this put the university in a false light ,
The chancellor felt sure that by next June
the university would bo 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 bo a prosperous one.
Prof. Elllnwood read a brief statement ol
the university's finances. It Is In debt
about $50,000 , apd this was pressing heavily
upon the scnool. The property Is In peril
tor a mortgage ot $15,000 Is duo the 1st ol
next month , and the parties holding the
mortcago 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. Clendennlng , finan
cial agent of the university , got up and made
a talk. Ho wiped away that gloomy feeling
and made everybody feel good , for he had I
figured out that despite drouth and crop
failure the university would be saved , anc
ho read the figures , too. So ho had four
ministers pass among the congregation am
take pledges for the payment of the debt , anc
a neat sum was promised ,
And then everybody joined In singing
"Praise God from Whom All Blessing :
Flow , " and Bishop Andrews pronounced the
benediction ,

LONDON , Oct. 6. Three * theatrical novel
ties of the first Interest have signalized the
past week here , In addition to others ot
secondary dramatic value- , and excellent busi
ness has been doneat the theaters having
real attractions. The latter , however , do not
nclude the Princess , where Mme. Anna
Rupert has been presenting Clement Scott's
version o "Odette , " or Toole's theater , where
Trlppe Edgar has been giving Hoyt's ' "A

On Monday last the Amlnltes company ot
natives from Cochln-Chlna , who have just
finished an engagement at the Antwerp ex

supposed to represent events which happened
during the war between China and Japan over
Corea.
The Criterion theater opened on Wednesday
*
day last with Arthur Jones ' new play , "Tho
Case of Rebellious Susan , " In which Charles
Wyndham end Mary Moore made- their re
appearance. The audience and critics pres
ent rendered a unanimous verdict that the
play la a brilliant one , but one of action and
not or character , It Is a distinct example of
the present tendency of Ilrltlsh dramatic art.
"The Now Woman" Is 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

KELLEY , STIGER & CO. , Farrram and 15th.
Leeds and will doubtless spread over Eng
land. A dramatic club Is In process of for
mation and George Alexander has promised
when It Is organized to accept the honorary
presidency. It Is Intended to hold weekly
meetings "for the discussion of the drama
and the study of the plays , Shakespearian
and modern. Lectures by1 distinguished
member of the profession will be delivered
and possibly one or two of the leading
dramatists and critics will also add papers
durlne 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
ol the relations between the play house and
the public , relations which , In one form or
another , are undergoing vital changes In
the land of Shakespeare and PInero ,
Paris Is all agog over the coming legal
battle between the Comedle Francalse and
Coquellne. the elder , which has long been
determined upon , should Coquellne actually
accept an engagement at nny other I'arls
play house than that of Mololre. The posi
tive announcement of last week that Co-
qucllne had agreed to appear with Sarah
Dernhnrdt at the Renaissance fluttered
through Paris , and since then the air has
been full of reported coming legal motions.
The great comedian has hail disputes with
the Comedle before now , which have been
adjusted without the Intervention of the
courts , but this time , says M. Jules Claretle ,
there can bo no such adlustment ,
EXPERIENCE OF EIGHT YEARS AGO.
Eight years ago M. Coquellne left the
Francalso by arrangement , with the stipula
tion that ho was not to appear on any stage
In Paris or France. Three years later he
was received In the fold , but lie had lost his
position as "socletatre" and could only be
come an honorable "penslonalre , " But he
was not content , and In 1S92 lie left the
Comedle for good. Of course , against his
leaving M. Claretle could do nothing effect
ually , but that gentleman lias announced that
so long as It becomes certain that Coquellne
Is about to appear at another Paris theater
an Injunction will bo abkcd from the courts.
Doubtless Coquellne has thought of all this
In agreeing to support the only Sarah. It
may seem a little harsh to attempt to stop
M. Coquellne , but It should not be forgotten
that he has benefited by the privileges and
advantages of the National theater all his
life , and It Is a little unfair that he should
now plaqo his talents at the disposal of the
rival.
E. G. Plymton lias completed the music
of an. operetta to the libretto to "Iluan Mee , '
which Is being debated at the Palace theater.
The Australian rights have been disposed of
to Messrs. Williamson and Musgrove. W. S.
Gilbert , some years ago , accepted a com
mission from Mr. Plymton for a libretto to
the order of Charles Morton , Circumstances
Interfered with It , but It Is expected lie will
find time during the now approaching winter
to look after the subject.

Tabcr's artistic career Maty Anderson has
gone Into domestic retirement and Margaret
Mather has followed suit. Marie Walnwrlght ,
never , constant to the Shakespearean muse ,
has taken refuge with "Camllle" and "Frou

much piquant stimulation for the lively curi
osity with which the first Joint reappearance
of this couple , so happily mated In love and
In art , la anticipated ,
While by no means neglecting her choice
bevy of Shakespeare's llihtliearted ; and lovely
young heroines the repeitolie of this sea
son embraces Rosalind , Vloln , Juliet and

policy achieved EO notable a success last sea
son with Sheridan Knowles' "Love Chase , "

Stratogem" was also taken up ; the "School
for Scandal" was added this year and 0110

tlste's entire career , Lady Teazle , promises

contrasting afterpiece to the. almost farcical
merriment of Mrs. Covvley'a play Is Earnest
Lacy's dramatic poem , "Chattcrton , "
