his long-continued Quasi -rebellious
relations to the church, and that, as
this element Of popularity is removed
by a final determination of the case,
his strength as a leader will begin to
wane. However this may be, of his
personal goodness there can be no
question: and through all the turbu-
lence of the past years he has exer-
cised in this city an influence whose
power for lettering men cannot be
Yer-estimated.

CHICAGO, October 15.-As was pre-
dicted in this correspondence some
time since,
DIR. THOMAS CONVICTION OF HEREsY
by the Rock River Conference was a
~foregone conclusion. His trial was a
complete farce. He was not tried at
all. he wal simply "fred out" No
civil court was ever disgraced by so
abrupt and irregular a procedure.
The result, while it may be Of. no
special benefit to DR.. Thomas, will
certainly work great injury to the
proper and legitimate furtherance OF
religious work by the Methodist church
in this section. No element of weak
ness is so pronounced in church work
as that arising through q popular
feeling Of resentment at injustice.
This is exceedingly prevalent here
among thousands. who have no inter-
est whatever in the real merits Of the
care as between Thomas and the
church from which he has been ex-
PEELED. Although by a rule of the
church, the exercises Of ministerial
functions by the reverend Doctor
cease until the case is again heard by
the court to be composed Of various
Methodist clergymen throughout the
United States, bars an appeal, DR..
Thomas
WILL 90 RIGHT ON PREACHING
at the Peoples church. A popular
feeling here will undoubtedly sustain
him in this, although it is felt by
many that a keeEs sense Of propr1ety
on his part should prevent the same.
1t cannot but be admitted. that there
is a strong conviction here that, while
DR.. Thomas has a very deep hold up
on the public heat, much Of
his fame as a preacher has been caused
by the notoriety secured through

WASHINGTON, October 14.-Bills
are being sent to the Treasury De-
partment asking allowances to pay for
the mourning goods hung out over
public buildings in various parts Of
the country at the time Of the death
of Garfield. There is no appropria
ton to meet these bills. 1t is regard
cd as rather small business upon the
part of those sending in these bills.
That building filed with high sala-
ried officials can't display mourning
goods without calling upon the Treas
ury for payment is a development Of
individual economy quite unexpected.

Charlotte Thompson in "The
"PIanter's Wife"
The pleasing and handsome actress,
Charlotte Thompson, opened at
Leubrie's Theater last night before a
fair audience, the galleries being
especially we'll patronized. 1.-THE
Planters Wife" which the company
presented here for the FIRST time, is a
domestic drama Of Southern life Of in
tense interest and situations, with
sensational features interspersed,
which are calculated to keep the in
terest of spectat9rs unbroken from first
to last. Miss Thompson acted Edith
Grey with that grace and finish which
has always been a feature of her pro-
fessional life, while Mr.. Wheelock's
im~persOnation Of the leading male
part was finely DONE, The william of
the play, Mr.. G. G. Craig, is compli.
mented for his excellent work, while
Simeon Simcoe, a PiLticus Green sort
Of a part, was fairly good by Mr.. A.
Davidson. A rather broad caricature
is that of Miss Annie Adams, as Angie
Gordon, a fast young woman, anxious
to hOoksOn to every fellow she can
find, with the hope that she may catch
a husband. The plot is a strong one,
and represents a young woman married
to a hard case, who strays to unknown
parts. The lady then marries another,
and don't tell her second lord anything
about the first. Number one turns up
and makes trouble. 1t winds up all
right, however, in the usual way. The
scene is laid in the South and tn
characters are all designed to be very
Southern. It is a play worth witness
ing.

and had a talk with him about mat

stated he would visit the Lone Star

expended for army purposes in Texas,
and it was the intention to devote this
money to building a twelve company
post in San Antonio, and to make this
the distributing point for troops.

NOTHING has occurred in the

inspirit the Democratic party as
the manly action Of the Democrat
10 Senators yesterday. The fact is
that the failure to stand up for the
rights Of Mr.. Tildsn, the lawfully
chosen President, in 1875. almost
distnteKrated the party. When
this was followed up, In 1880, by
the failure to renominate the Sage
Of Gramercy Park, hundreds of
shousan ds of Democrats simply de.
oltnsd to vote. They were unwill.
Ing to participate in a mockery in
which the manifest will of the PEG.

not logical, was at least natural.
