At this opera house this and to o-morrow | evenings the Alfa Norman English Opera
 company will sing that at present popular opera ''The Mikado." The Cincinnati Com
 mercial Gazette says of the company: ;'We have spoken in terms of the highest praise of
 Miss Alfa Norman's Yum Yum, one of the sweetest and most womanly impe1sonations
 that has been given us to see. She is a true artist, and, with all the advantages of a graceful form and beautiful face, and 8 certain lady-like modesty to recommend it, it is wonder she has jumped suddenly into great celebrity. What has been needed
 on the English operatic stage long is 8 young woman who looks well as sings the parts of grand and comic opera, and here is one who fulflls every requirement.

EX.GOy. JOHN c. BROWN
Thinks Judge East the Most Fsrmid.
able Republican for Governor.


Nashville Banner: Ex-Gov. John G.
Brown says Judge East would make
the most formidable Republican can
didate for Governor in Tennessee, but
he thinks the judge would be badly
beaten If the Democrats nominate the
right man. He says all the Demo-
cratic gentlemen d scussed for the
Governorship are good men, and if
there is any choice among them the
best one Of the lot should be chosen.
This is putting 1t very guardedly and
lacks the virtue OF being in the
nature Of information. What the
Democrats want to know, or rather
what they should want to know, is
which one of the many candidates is
the best man Tor the nomination? If
Ex-Gov. Brown, who is well informed
concerning public men in Tennessee,
and who is, we think, q pretty good
Judge OF men, would be as positive in
his expressions concerning the Demo-
cratic candidates as he is concerning the
Repub lean candidates he might as.
sist in solving the Democratic prob.
lem and helping along the harmoni-
con performance. The opinions OF
public men on such matters are very
interest ng when there is any d. finite
ne-s to the opinion. We think Gov.
Brown is right in s,ying that Judge
East would make the strongesi Re-
publican candidate. The question az
to who would make the strongest
Democratic candidate is equally in err
esting, but it is not altogether salts
factory to be told that al Democratic
candid ties are good, but il by unique
possibility there should be a choice
among them, then il might be well,
the circumstances considered, to Sc
lect the best man.

The Northern Assembly.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, May 29.-In
the Presbyter an General Assembly
yesterday the following delega'e s were
chosen 10 the next Presbyterian Al.
lance, with power TO select others
DIS. Marquis, Roberts, Moore, Marl-
ing, Patton, Mcintosh and Edison,
wi h Elders Gen. Shields, Van Norden
and Prime. There were animated
speeches on resolutions concerning
the overture from missionaries at Can.
ton touching the IN treatment of Chi
nese in America.
Mr.. Horton claimed that the
brethren on the Pacific coast opposed
the barba ity referred to.
DR.. Wherry, missionary in Peking,
called attention TO the real fault the
Chinese government finds with Anne e
lea, which is not restriction of immi-
grafton, nor for not controlling mobs,
but in not Furnishing law-breaSers
The assembly adopted resolutions
commencing the stand OF Christians
on the Pacific slope, urging them
everywhere TO create public sentiment
in favor OF protecting and evangeliz
ing the heathe.s on our shores and
directing that a copy OF the resolutions
be sent in the Chinese language TO the
Chinese Consul at Washington.
DR.. Studdiiord presented a report
on theological seminaries. Special
interest was asked in the efforts to
raise up a ministry for Germans and
free Omen.
The assembly elected Cyrus Nc
Cormick, jr., director Of the seminary
at Chicago.

on Systematic Benefcence recon.
mends forming cubs in each congre-
CATION to arouse interest in this eau e.
An aggregate advance ia contribu
tons from all sources to boards in the
year past of sos, 500 is seen.
DR.. Horton presented report and
the assembly listened to two OF the
most STIRRING speeches yet made by
permanent Chairman DIR. Pomeroy OF
Cleveland and Elder Kane Of Chicago.
They expressed great Joy at the re-
cent adoption OF the overture by
presbyteries, inserting in the directory
Of worship a chapter making proper
tionate and weekly giving an act OF
worship as much as prayer. "In
which definite action we take the
lead of other denominations, also say
ing that the great need Of the church
is revival along this line" That
our spirit and method are both made
qua is shown by tie present debt OF
nearly 100000.
The officers we're reelected and the
churches urged to raise at least 10 per
cent. more next year.
Toe most important action was
that directing presbyteries to oblige
churches to contribute to each board.

gress at Cleveland upon ''The Present
Necessity for a Restatement OF Chris

tracted a great deal OF attention, in
which he says: at is manifest that
the present age is a time of changes
in the 70 ms OF Christian thought and
of notifications of doctrinal concep-
tons The formulas of doctrine which
have come down to us from the past,
although so precious to those by
whom they were once cherished, no
longer satisfactorily express the theo.
logical conceptions of the best minds
Of Christendom. Although it has
become fashionable to certain circles
to speak light y Of theology and to pre-.
fer the sentimental and the practical
in religion to the speculative and in
tellectual, it is still certain that Chris
tianity as manifested in its human
subjects must be, first of all, a system
OF truths to be accepted respecting
q DIS purposes toward men, and His
methods for working out his designs
in and among them. The changes
that are so str ngly marked in the e
ligious thought Of the age effect only
remotely and slightly the substance of
Christian truth, and it is confined al.
most exclusively to forms of expires.
