THE NEW OPERA HOUSE AND THINGS.

Mr.. l.. NJ. Crawford while in the city is
giving the new opera house his special at
tention and expressed himself yesterday as
well pleased at the progress being made
and the outlook for the new house All
the fitting up material necessary for the
opening is on hand but it took a vigorous
Use of the wires TO get it here Some one
in the city who seems TO be prolific of re-
ports detrimental TO business enterprises
has been spinning ont some OF his base
fabrications concerning the opera house
company, apparently trying to bring about
all delays possible. Fortunately, the re-
ports concerning the opera house were less
effective than might have been expected.
and they were Inconvenience less than
some other business establishments being
victims of similar reports.
There seems to be general feeling. a
far reaching feeling, to get hold of the fell
low who first hears" such and such re
ports detrimental 10 the business essab-
lishments in the city. One gentleman who
has been giving the matter strictly per
sonal attention for some days thinks he has
got matters just about to the locating
point, and from his temper will most surely
make pinch when he gets all evidence
He refused to give all the facts
for publication but was quite emphatic in
his remarks that the source is exactly
where many would least expect; so near
headquarters that many would he surpris-
ed on learning the facts.

MR.. WILSON'S. MEETINGS.
United Action Among Ministers and
Members.
A Charge of the Whole Army-The Enemy
Being Routed.

The great majority 81 people who are at
tending q. w. Wilsoa meetings are in
tent on either the sar.ag of souls or OF
learning something of the Cos
pei concerning their own interest in the
great hereafter. 1t is an uncommon thing
to see such great throngs as are attending
these meetings, manifest such interest as is
here seen. Every member Of whatever de.
nomination found at these meetings enters
into the work with zeal rarely manifest
ed on such occasions. There are no stray
ling columns here and there throw
| ing no defensive Notifications but
infantry, cavalry ana artillery are mar
| shalled on one common field in a solid
! phalanx and hurled with an irresistible
force against the battlements of satan
Old Beelzebubs columns are manellvering
and on every hand the victorious banners
of the cross are going up. The jealous
hosts are showing their faith in victory
| for those who go to battle under that ban
ner.
Yesterday afternoon meeting was well
attended and much interest manifested.
There were few ripples of laughter in
afternoon meeting. Mr.. Wilson's criticism
OF what he calls false theology sometimes
causes laughter, but it is more in his gest-
ures than in the words used that some
times causes this merriment He has "a
way of drawing the skirts of his Prince
Albert coat forward and folding them
across his knees in a mock pious manner
that is comic, to say the least, when quot
ing some one else's ideas. Mr.. Wilson oc-
cupied nearly two hours in delivering his
afternoon lecture on the power of holiness
He illustrated his subject by the
sacrifice of Elijah in way thas was sim
ply grand.
The great church was filled to overflow
ing last night Chairs were placed in the
aisles and all the available space around
the platform was utilized to accommodate
the vast throng.
"A song and prayer service was held be-
fore preaching, Mr.. Kennedy leading.
Quite number of preachers occupied seats
on the platform, who gave many evidences
that they were enjoying the meet
ing. When Mr.. Wilson arose to preach
he looked as bright as if he had taken
weeks rest. The amount of work that
Mr.. Wilson has done during the progress
of these meetings is remarkable. He has
i''p
day and six days in the week Notice was
given that the meetings wonld continue
each day except Saturday at 2:30 and D.
m, and that the 2:30 p. IN. meeting Friday
would be devoted to answering questions
Mr. Wilson preached from Rom and "a
For we are saved by hope; but hope that
is seen is not hope; for what man seeth, |
doth he yet hope for"
The evangelist showed the utter hopeful |
ness of salvation unless we obey Gods law |
He said it was impossible for God to save !
man unless man put himself in harmony /
with his law. Mr.. Wilson told his hearers
hat God was no respecter of persons. The |
preacher did not seem to care whom he /
hit, whether he merchant, lawyer, or
,hurch member He fired broad sides into
he enemies camp, and never stopped to
zee where the red hot shot hit.
