MARY ANDERSON'S ILLNESS.
Rumors That the Peerless Actress Is Los.
 ing Her Reason.

f>uhors mat the Peerless Actress Is Los.
 ing Her Reason.
 NEW YogG, March 1s-There was quite a stir yesterday in dramatic circles Ill this city over the rumor that Mary Anderson was af- tiicted with strange nervous malady which might keep her of the stage for year. For some time past there have been reports of her il health, but her frieuds have been told that it was merely of q temporary character, and was precipitated by the outrageous at taclis made upon her by the St. Louis critics.
 Henry E. Abbey was expected home from Philadelphia yesterday, but he did not come. No one connected with him could give any information about Miss Andersons condition. Those who know the actress best rid.cuie the idea that she is suffering from nythng bat overwork
 "I know Mary Anderson quite well" said Mrs. Fernandez, ''and I saw her when she was here. There is nothing the matter with her, Ill my opinion but overwork. The part of Perdita is a most trying oae, and Miss An derson's double role hss been too much for her. l see there is an inti.nation in the <apers that she is not right mentally. That E~pure nonsense. Mary Anderson is not the kind Of woman to become insane"
 PHILADELPHIA, March lS.-rhe condition of Mary Anderson is reported to be some what worse. A rumor to the effect that Miss Anderson is insane has gained circulation. Dr. s. Weir Mitchell, under whose care the lady has been since her arrival here, when re- quested to affirm or deny this rumor, posi- lively refused to say anything about his pa tient's condition. Mir. Joseph Anderson, Ter brother, pronounced the story absurd.
 Miss Anderson's condition is improved, ' he said, land no impairment of her health is fearedn
 It is known that Dr. Mitchell has ordered that his patient must remain where she is for two months At the end Of that time, he says, unless some setback occurs, she will be able to go to Europe to recuperata
 Orders have been given by the doctors to positively exclude ali pc. sons from Miss An derson's room, with the exception of her maid and the professional nurse in attendance upon her. Mir. and Mrs. Hamilton Griffin, Miss Anderson's stepfather and mother, went to New York ;ast night
 Miss Auderson's English company, number ing fifty people, was paid off by Manager Schoetfel, and they will leave for their homes at once.

REV. DR.. KERR WILL REMAIN.
The Call to the Brooklyn Church Declined

Inc Call TO the Bfookiyn thufcu DcthheN'
A very large congregation thronged the
First Presbyterian church on Sunday
morning. anticipating no doubt decision
from the lips of the pastor, Rev. Il. Z. Kerr.
ID. d., rs to the call recently received by
him from the First Reformed church OF
BROOKLYN This was unanimous ana
tempting invitation. and for the past week
had been prayerfully and conscientiously
considered by DIR. Kerr.
The session of the church had met and
passed q unanimous resolution urging ms
declination. The members Of the church
and congregation had united their pleas
with those coming IN from all sections ana
denominations Of Richmond, and from
many portions of the State outside of the
city, all testifying TO the love and devotion
felt for this jealous servant OF God.
THE BELOVED PASTOR.
Anxious, tender solcitude marked nearly
every face in the audience, and atremblng
hush rested upon the great congregation
as IL awaited the verdict.
After the opening services. and Just prior
to the sermon, DIR. Kerr briefly stated the
facts pertaining TO the call. and that the
call would have received brief considera-
ton but for the fact that in such an urgent
way, and from a church whose organiza-
ton antedated the Declaration OF indie
pendence by one hundred yesrs, and other
considerations presented by the commit
tee who brought the unanimous call, wnich
deserved mature and careful consideration.
Then upon the warm mutual love existing
between himself and his beloved people,
and the tender ties that bound him TO his
church and congregation, and that week
of unrest. PRAYER, and deep consideration
had ended on Saturday night. when he
had resolved TO decline the call and remain
in Richmond.
WAVE or JOY.
Upon this glad announcement wave OF
iov seemed 70 thrill the entire cOngrega-
tion. Smiles of gladness chased the clouds
away, and tears Of gratitude fell from the
ewes of men and women as they realized
that the loved pastor was still to remain
among them.
TIE DISCOURSE.
The sermon following was one of rare
/ power and lmpressivencss, based upon
| Matthew ix.. 80: Pray ye, therefore, the
Lord Of the harvest, that He will send forth
laborers into His harvest"
The Discourse was preached in accord
ance with the recommendation OF the
PRESBYTERIAN General Assembly, that the
second Sunday of October be observed as a
dav of prayer for an increase in our supply
of ministers.
Inc speaker uWtit upon tIic NuoNhVss ~
the work, the importance and extent OF the
field. and the untold value Of home intiu-
ence. stating as fact that the large ma
iority of the ministry came forth from the
atmosphere and teachings Of Christian
homes-godlv fathers and mothers. -Four
vounp men Of the First church are now pre-
/ pairing for this great work. and the speaker
wished the number was fOiTScOre.
The DOXOLOGY.
As the people rose for the benedictiOn
| the long-metre DoxolOgy seemed to burst
spontaneously from every lip as they united
in singing Praise God from whom all
/ blessings hOw."
