A Good Performance Promised.

Those who remember Alden Bene-
dict and his presentation of the Count
of Monte Cristo last season, will rec
ognize in him a strong actor whose
powerful portrayal of that character
has not been excelled on the boards
here. 1t is said that he has even a
better company now and that in his
new play Fabio Romani he assumes
the principal roles with equal success
and effect. Mr.. Benedict will appear
at Burwell Hall next Tuesday evening
Goth. The Dubuque Qowa) Times, OF
Sept. 1, says this of the play and the
players
The audience which greeted Alden Ben
edict at the opera House last night was
a large one. The acting and the play
were as good as anything seen in Dubu.
que this season. "Fabio Romani, Story
of the Dead" is a splendid melodrama
1t was elegantly costumed and all the
parts were taken by good actors. A
great deal of special scenery was used
and some of the spectacular parts were
especially fine.

PRESBYTERIAN ALLIANCE.

1t Elects Officers at Westminster
After Discussing Church Music
Awhile.
The Presbyterian alliance of Mime
apolis met last night in the lecture room
of Westminster church. Tonight was
the regular time of meeting, but as the
commencement exercises of Bennett
seminary are to be held this evening,
and is an occasion in which PreSbyter-
ans take especial pride and interest, the
alliance meeting gave way to it.
The Daughters of the King" served
a good supper from to 1880 in the lee
ture room, and number gathered early
in the evening and enjoyed a very
pleasant social time in the pretty room,
which had more the appearance of
home than church, with the brightly
decorated tables.
President George E. Mclean called
the attendance to order at little after
O'Clock, and Prof. G. H. Morse read an
excellent paper on '.Music and the
Church." Following him, Rev. S. M.
Campbell made an address on the sub
ject. "What 1 Know About Chorus,'
telling of his experience with church
music. 81
Rev. DR.. j. Burrell followed with an
address under the head of "Modern
Hymnology."
" hen this part of the programme was
completed business session was held,
at which the following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-

CURRENT COMMENT.

The members of the park board have
heard with equanimity the demand OF
the only thoroughly alive and agrees
sive newspaper for all immediate
change in the park names, and will not
change them. Several of the parks.
like Murphy park, Elliott park and
Steele square, were named after the
dOnators OF the ground. and cannot
decently be changed. The First ward
park is named after c. G. WaShburn,
Central park they say is central, and
Riverside park is on the river bank,
while Prospect park is appropriately
named from the splendid view
ii affords of the city. For these reasons
the names of the parks are likely to re-
main named as they are. 1t is not gen
orally remembered that the park board
when first organized and before it had
obtained any'land made collection of
Indian names which we're brought in
and discussed, but the difficulties of
pronunciation were SO great that they
were given up.
The board of health at its yesterdays
meeting discussed the health inspector
ship question and agreed to recommend
To the council for appointment those
who shall stand highest in the eXamlna-
ton. The papers have not been exam
ined yet and nobody knows who stands
highest, but it is opined that several of
those candidates who were most strong
Iy pressed by aldermen do not. The
papers will be examined about the last
thing before the next regular council
meeting. by which means the examiners
hope to escape the opportunities of i'll
terested individuals and relieve the
aldermen from the pressure of cleo
tioneering.

anity and the Caucasian race historic
ally, and showed that as the white race
was destined to dominate the world, the
Christian religion was destined to DOM
mate the white race. The world
was increasing in population rapidly.
America has doubled its population
every twenty-five years, and the child
now born, might see the day when
America with teeming population
would be pouring her surplus into Asia.
and perhaps another New England
would be formed amid the SHOWS OF
Kamschatka In view of these tenden-
cies DR.. Heath asked the question,
twill Christianity keep its hold
on the white racer" ''There are
thousands who believe sincerely that
the masses are breaking away from the
church. We seem to have committed
ourselves to that belief in our resOlu-
tons and conventions. But it is not
true that the church is losing its grip.
That is the largest lie of the nineteenth
century, which is especially notable for
lies.''
Dr.Heath gave few statistics to show
that he was right. Among them were
these. "In 1850 the United States iiad
81 100000 population and 100000
church members, Is per cent of the pop
ulatiOn. In 1870 the figures were 49,
100000 people and 100000 church
members, II per cent; in 1880, 5O,0OO.0O0
people and 100000 church members,
20 per cent" These figures showed that
the church membership increased in a
greater ratio than the population. In
the face of these facts DR.. Heath took
the newspapers to task for asserting
that not one parSOu in a hundred at
tended church, while the figures showed
that one person in five was church
member"
At the conclusion of the papers there
was an intermission for conversation,
and afterwards discussion of the top
les brought up in the addresses. The
following gentlemen were proposed for
membership: Rev. s. Lewis B. Spear,
Rev. Wallace Nutting. Rev. c. E.
Blodgett, A. u. Condit and d. c. Es-
gelStOn.
