A large and delighted audience assem-

ing on the occasion of the fifth in the Sc
res of literary, musical and dramatic Ell
tertainments given under the auspices of
the Morris board of trade. "Petticoat
Government" u twO-act farce of very
amusing character was first on the pro-
gramme, and was presented in II very
smooth and highly creditahle manner
The leading parts as sustained ny Mrs NJ.
Webber and Mr. A. S. Brsbine, were
really excellent representations, and to
gether, with the strong support as fur.
nishcd by Miss May Summers and Mcssrs
G. II. Munro, G. NJ. Giltinan and NJ. Web
Der, formed a pleasing and interesting pre-
sentation. The piece throughout was
marked by acting of, more than ordinary
worth, and was free from ali flaws usually
noticeable on the amatuer stage. 1t was
followed by that ever popular two act
comedy "WoodcocL's Little game" and
the cast of this piece certainly deserves
every praise, for the th"roughness with
which 1t was placed upon the boards,
evincing as it did careful and conscen-
tious rehearsal and the consequent com.
pleteness in every particular. Mrs. Phelps
rs Mrs. Col. Carver, a typical mother.n'
law, was q genuine surprise. Tie diff
cult role assigned her Was carried out to
perfection, the ease and deliberatiOn, com,
bincd with perfect control Of voice, ges,
ture and action. evinced keen conception
of the part, and when it 10 remembered
that this was her first appearance on the
amatuer stage, sufficient credit can hardly
he bestowed Mrs Kcnner had a trying
part, but the character of Mrs Larkins
was represented by her with an ease akin
to the natural. Mr.. Phelps, as Wood
cock, appeared to better advantage thar
ever before, and was well sustained BY
Messrs. Judson, Stanton and Kenner
Mr.. Judscn especially handling the diff
cult part assigned him in very creditabl'
manner. In the leading role Mr.. Phelps
displayed ability of more than the averag,
order. and entered into his part with mucl
life and earnestncss.
The entertainment as whole
gave universal satisfaction, the parts wer
each and all well aud carefully handled
the costumes elegant and appropriate, AM
the stage bright and attractive. To Mrs
Phelps and Mr.. Brisbine, in their respec,
i've assumed characters, belong the high
est honors of the evening, and we can Car
, didly SAY that the performance Throughout
was highly creditable to the dramatic Ia
ent of our village, and proved one of til
; most enjoyable entertainments ever give
in Morris.

.The Nugget Preacher.


Prof. j. d. Parker, in the Mid CONT
nent, published at Kansas City, writes
an interesting article under the above
caption, giving his views of the qualiti-
cations required to make successful
minister. He selects Rev. r. Cordley,
D. D., of the Congregational church of
this city, as an illustration of the en-
bodiment of his ideas of what the min
lister must be, and styles him the mug
get Preacher" We copy from his arti-.
Gle as follows, merely commenting that
the pen-painting of DIR. Cordley will be
recognized as true to life where he is
known:
"As an illustration of a successful
minister, We may mention the Rev.
Richard Cordley, who is sometimes call
ed the Nugget Preacher" Preaching
eighteen consecutive years to the most
critical congregation in Kansas proves
that he has points enough to carry him
over. Only q few of his most promi-
nent characteristics, however, can now
be mentioned. In his manhood DIR.
Cordley is perfect model; not shadow
has ever fitted across his moral char
dctef. MI SOruley Is nlmSeiI IN Lne
pulpit as well as out of it. His preach
ing is perfectly natural. His style
of preaching is sui generis. Webster
SAID, "If anything escaped the prescience
of the Almighty, it was how twelve good
and honest men would decide on jury"
And if anything escapes the ken of a
homiletical critic it is how Dr. Cordley
will divide his subject. Sometimes he
begins at one end, sometimes at the 9TH
er, and sometimes in the middle; but
when he once begins the whole subject
rushes through like water in a whirl
pool, and the congregation follow it.
All things are instinct with life when
tonehed by genius. When we listen to
DR.. Cordley we seem to be on an engine
that makes a road to suit itself. He
possesses the ideal faculty in an eminent
degree. Old truths become new, and
new truths flash upon US. The sun will
make dark cloud glow like molten sill
Yer, and an obscure passage of Scripture
under the touch of his genius becomes
luminous. His preaching reminds one
that "a word fifty spoken is like apples
of gold in pictures of silver"
Brevity is the soul of wit; so it is of a
sermon. All men like, in the briefest
time, to get at tile core of sermon
Sermons have too much chaff, too many
Words too many divisions and sub-di.

too much back ground the prayer is too
long, and so sometimes the hymns the
words are too long and so is the sermon.
There is too much logic, rhetoric, and
scholasticism. The soul of the sermon
! is too small for the body. If black

without any enlargement of its meat, it
would resemble such sermon. Some SER

we haYe toiled all the night and have
taken nothing" "When the Master
preached, ''many believed" Sometimes
cloud is SO charged with electricity
that it becomes luminous; that is type
of a sermon. DR.. Cordley lost 500 of his
first sermons in the sack of Law
renee. No event in his life has prob
ably contributed so much to his success
as preacher. 1t would be better for a
minister to bura the first 500 sermons
than turn over the barrel. Probably no
one in the Missouri valley breaches as
short sermons as DIR. Cordley; he pulls off
the husks at once and gives the fruit to
the audience. His homiletical appara-
tus, if he has any, he leaves in his study;
he comes at once to the point, and his
points are not lines Indefinitely -.ex-

mer opens the text and the audience sit
down to the feast, and the board is spread
with substantial food and rich viands.
There is enough and to spare. No one
need go away hungry, for the meal of
tentimes becomes a feast which is re-
membered for years.
DIR. Cordley finds gold in every place
no matter how many have mined before
him, he finds something new, and he has
knack of finding little pockets of gold
that others have overlooked. He will
pick nuggets on every field every SER
mon here and there will yield rich
nugget, and sometimes the nuggets will
drop out thick and fast. The coDgrega-
ton is surprised, delighted. and held
spellbOund in expectation of some rich
truth. So strong is this characteristic
that DR.. Cordley has often been called
the nugget preacher.
The United States Biographical Die
tionary pays the following tribute to DR..
Cordley. 1t says:
"His life has been the daily growth of
q plant well cultivated, which has come
to ripe and abundant fruitage. He has
never received the apostolic truth of Pc
ter, or of any of his successors TO make
him bishop, yet he has naturally
grown into this Office by common con-
sent, and for many years has been the

An Elegant bal 1Easque Given BY the

jays opera house last evening was the
scene of an event which in point of in
terest and enjoyment has never been ri
vailed in the social annals of this city,
the occasion being the bal masque given
under the auspices of the Emporia So
cial Quadrille Club. The executive
committee, with view to insure the en-
tire success of the enterprise, imported
first-class costumer, Mr.. Archer, of
Kansas City, whose new and elegant toll
cts were displayed to signal advantage
by the beauty and chivaIry of Emporia
who awaited themselves OF this convent
ent means of disguise and adornment.
The response TO the invitations was
quite general, and by the hour for the
opening OF the grand march the hall was
well filled with maskers who presented
gay and picturesque scene in a variety
of costumes which embraced many lu-
dicrous and fantastic conceptions, but
among which there was notable pre-
ponderance of elegant and tasteful ap-
parel.
The music was furnished by Holmes
orchestra, with Mr. B. F. ROmaine as
prompter, and was up to the usual stand
ard of excellence. The order to unmask
was given at II o'clock and was attend
ed by those pleasant surprises which
constitute the great charm of entertain
ments of this class. The seats at the rear
and sides OF the hall were filled with
spectators who found ample amusement
in watching the gay throng In their fan
ciful CARDS and specializing as to the
identity which the various masks con-
cealed.
The following list of persons who ap-
peared in costume and the characters
they represented is as nearly complete
as it was possible TO make it, and if
there have been any omissions We
trust they will not be charged to de-
sire on the part of the writer to make

A Pleasant Visit

Our Council Grove neighbors, who
have placed the Emporia public under
obligations for the pleasure which their
very creditable presentation of the eX-
traYagauza of "Pocahonta" afforded,
were greeted last night by an audience
nearly twice the size of that of lhe-pre-
cecding evening, embracing macy who
witnessed the iuitiatory performab bee and
were sufficiently pleased TO wantl to see
il again. The entertainment Though
out was an Improvement ON that of
Tuesday evening, the actors showing
more confidence and assuming their
respective roles with an ease and facility
which is not often surpassed by profes.
sIonal votaries of the stage. The excel
lent orchestra, composed of Emporia
home talent, contributed. much TO the
pleasure of the evening, which was one
of the most enjoyable which the present
amusement-crowdeds season has afforded
Mrs. Arlington, as Pocahontas, Mr..
Lewis, as Captain John Smith, Mr..
White, as Mynheer Rolf, and Mr. Mo-
riarty, as King of the Tuscaroras, all
won new laurels by their admirable act
ing ard singing, and can always rely
upon q cordial reception in Emporia
should they ever favor US with another
visit.
1t was highly gratifying to learn from
Mr.. White, who made a neat little ad-
dress to the audience. that our friends
from the "Grove'' were thoroughly
pleased with their reception in Emporia,
and met with that measure of courteous
consideration which they so handsome
,ly merited, while in our city. We only
reflect the expressed sentiment of this
community when We say that our visi-
tors have made a most agreeable i'm
preston upon the people of Emporia
and should they see fit to come again,
as we hope they may, we feel safe in
predicting for them generous patron
age and hearty welcome.
