MATINEE TESTIMONIAL TO-DAY.

''rhe Little Church Around the COrner.''
When Joe Jefferson, the inlnitable per-
senator Of Rip Vam Winhle, called ON Rev.
DR.. Sabine, New York clergyman, with
the request that he should ofticiate at the
burial "t the veteran actor, Mr.. George Hol-
land. DR.. Sabine declined to acceIe to that
request, and suggested to Mr.. jefferson
that Rev. DIR. Houghton, pastor OF the
Little Church Around the Corner would
probably perform the funeral services.
DIR. Ho'ghton, pastor OF the Church of
the TRANSPORTATION, did this Christian act,
and now he and his church are blessed.
The theatrical fraternity Of New York
have given entertainments for the benefit oi
the family OF George Holland and the Lit
tic Church Around the Corner" out of
which the sum Of fifteen thousand dollars
has been realized. Other cities have re-
sponded, and to-day New Orleans will re
spond, by artend;n. the matinee perform
ances at tie ST. Charles Theatre, for the
benefit OF the - Little Church Around the
Corner
Though a great number OF people will be
in the house, there will be no jam nor con-
fusion, for the dollar for admission secures a
certain designated seat, as during the usual
entertainments at the st. Charles. New Or
leans, we believe, will respond cheertully
to the call of liberal Christianity, and we
hope will contribute al least two thousand
dollars for tie Little Churc! Around the
Corner
See advertisement for further details.
The stage will represent every theatre in
the city
