Rohrer, H. c. Neyes and Andrew Frey were
appointed committee to draft suitable resoltl-
tons relative to deceased, to be reported at the

of thirty days. Yesterday the club attended

A THEATRICAL STRIKE.-There is threatened
strike already among the amateurs engaged for
the production of the Passion Play" in New
York, the agitation being due to their having
been unable thus far TO obtain written contracts
from the manager assuring them of permanency
of employment and suitable salaries. One of
the actors, who has been in rehearsal and who
says he twas to double up in Peter and Joseph,
prOnounces some OF the scenes pathetic, though
the language put in the mouths of the charac-
tiers is sometimes ridiculous. For instance,
Joseph starts off in a speech. BLESSED be the
Lord for corrobo rating" Peter considered it
quite likely that the first representation Of the
'Passion Play" will break up in stage row in
which the Biblical characters will take an active
and cOnspicu Ous part.

Seeking an Opponent for Sullivan.

A telegram from New York, Dec. II, says:
After several weeks of surmise and conjecture
regarding the object Of Billy Madden's trip to
England, sporting men in this city have settled
down to the belief that Sullivan's ex-trainer has
gone abroad with the sole purpose of finding
suitable opponent in the prize ring for his late
pupil: Madden advertised in the London
Sporting Life of December 2 a boxing match, to
the winner Of which he promised TO give q
prize valued at f40, and to the next best man
one worth e1O. He promised also to pay the
expenses Of all competitors, even Of those who
come from Scotland and Ireland. The match
was to be fought this week under the Marquis
OF Queensberry rules. the judges being ap-
pointed by the London sporting press or the
Amateur Boxing Association. If the winner of
the match to be boxed this week, in Mr.. Mad
dens opinion, possesses the necessary muscular
qualifications, he may be expected to face Sui
Ivan on. this side of the water In the early
SprinR.

The recent robbery of graves in cemeteries ad-
jacent to Montreal has created general feeling
of alarm, especially in the rural districts, and
the people are organizing for the better security
of their dead. Three bodies were stolen from a
vault in the burying ground of st. Anne. several
days ago, two were exhumed at Chambly and
carried away, and several corpses were stolen
from the burial ground at the Okla Indian reser-
walton. The number Of body -snatchers seems to
be increasing.

THE COMING MASTER TO RESTORE THE SIN.

From an Interview In London
10 my mind the intellectual tendency OF the
art of music lie greater than the sentimental to-

divinely from divine Inspiration. 1t lie as though
God had ordered him to sing and he sang-natu-
rally, easily and spontaneously. 1t was his M
ture and there was no effort. The same IVES
true Of Mozart"
What is your opinion of the art OF music
now!" inquired the interviewer
Like everything else, 1t is in a transitory

Music is only one phase of thought. and in con-

why, naturally from this complexity will
spring simplicity. The next great master will
be as simple as Mozart or Rossini. He win

MR.. MERRICK SAYS ABOUT IT.
A fire broke out Saturday evening in the upper
story of Mr.. R. T. Msrrick's residence, No. 1903
F-street, and before it could be extinguished
did damage to the extent of about $780, State
ments were published yesterday that the fire
was the work of an incendary, and Mr.. Merrick
was credited with expressing the belief that the
fire was the result of an attempt to destroy some
valuable papers pertaining to the star route
trials in his possession and that similar attempts
had been made before A card from Mr.. Mer-
rick, published this morning, denies having
made any such statement, and says: "On the
contrary, expressed no opinion whatever as to
the origin of the fire. and when informed by the
principal members Of the fire department. by
whose prompt action and effective work my law
library and Office were saved that the fire was
beyond doubt the work of an incendiary, re-
Piled that was unable to conceive who could
have sufficiently strong motive to attempt
such an injury to my property. / will add that
the only papers in my Office of value to anyone
but myself are kept in fre-proof safe, and that
all papers ed with the star route cases
kept in the Post Office department.
