The Outlook for American Plays.
In letter which lies before me. /
find this sentence from the pen of Mr..
A. NJ. Palmer, manager of the Madison
Square theatre, New York: II am sor-
ry to say that the numerous plays sub
mitted to me every year are all, or
nearly all, totally defective in con-
struction." Critics of a pessimistic
turn of mind may find here food for
Iugubrious rumination upon the de-
cadence of the American drama, the
decay of art, the corruption of taste,
and the general decline and fall of the
creative imagination; and I cannot
find it in my heart to deny them this
sweet sorrow. Yet may be permitted
to remark that. to me personally, the
sentence above quoted seems the most
hopeful sign of renaissance in our
drama that has so far appeared on
very dark and lowering horizon. If
Mr.. Palmer had said, ''tnese plays
show no originality" or '*the charac-
terization is feeble" or ''the plots are
all stolen from the French, then there
might have appeared just reason for
lamentation and despair; but a knowl-
edge of construction, as everybody
knows who has had any practical ex-
perience in writing plays, is some
thing that almost any one can become
proficient in by reasonable outlay of
time and studious application. Itsus-
tains to the art of play writing much |
the same relation that grammar sus-
tains to oratory Professor Albert |

A Numerous Family.
There are some good sized families
in Maine today, but probably none so
large as one mentioned in the histories
Of old colonial days. It is told ON the
authority of Cotton Mather that the
first royal governor of Boston was one
of family of twenty-six children, and
was born in the woods Of Maine near
the mouth Of the Kennebec in 1851.
His mother was left widow when he
was child, and is said to have had all
she could do to provide for the wants
of her family. 1t is hoped that when
the governor got 800, 900, a knight
hood and a goblet valued at IS, 600 as
a reward for finding a Spanish treas
ure ship that had gone to the bottom
half century before, he remembered
his mother and made her last days cas-.
ier than her earlier ones had been.-

Arguments Pro and Con at the Synod Meet
ing at Greensburg.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPArcHi
GREENsBURG, October 22.-After the cleo
tion of Prof Thatcher as Professor of Ecclesiasss
tical History of the Allegheny Seminary, this
afternoon, the United Presbyterian Synod took
up the case of DR.. Ewing. who is charged with
marrying his deceased wife's sister. DR.. Littell,
Of PiJtsburg. the appellant spoke briefly. He
did not think the Monongahela Presbytery had
the power to dispose of the case. The action of
the Presbytery in accepting the confession and
expressions of regret from DR.. Ewing as suffi-
cIent evidence of repentance. and rebu6e and
admonition as sufficient censure, plainly null
heS and violates the law contained in the Con-
fessiOn of Faith. Nothing can make it
sister to live together as husband and
wife. But the action of the Presbytery makes
it lawful for them to do so. after being rebuked
for getting married He having offended
against the accepted standard of the church,
he should on no account be permitted to pass
unrebuked. DR.. Littell is in favor of having
DR.. Ewing silenced, although he is willing to
have written record given that he may apply
to another church for admittance.
Tonight the answer was made to the appel
lants by DR.. j. c. Boyd and Rev. j. T. McCrory.
They claimed that the decision of the Monon-
gahela Presbytery was sufficient, and that the
law of the church or that contained in the
Confession of Faith touching marrying was in
accord with the word of God. and being so, the
confession of DR.. Ewing and the rebuke ad-
ministered was sufficient punishment If the
appeal is sustained vote on suspension will be
taken in the morning, and adjournment will
follow.

Davis, Mr.. Wilkinson gave the usual in
formation about the case. Then he was
asked to speak of the breaking off of the
engagement between Miss Winnie Davis,
daughter of the late Confederate chieitain,
and himself.
There is a report, Mr.. Wilkinson, that
you broke off the engagement.
The fine color left his face for a moment
and he seemed very much annoyed, but he
replied promptly:
ONE REPORT DENOUNCED.
''That is absurd. 1t is not true. I don't
see how such report could get out. I'm
less it is through some Northern prejudice
which I am sorry to find still exists. You
will do me favor if you will deny such an
absurd rumor. Miss Davis broke off the en-
gagement herself, and solely on account of
her health, and will also say that it was
very much against my wishes. There was
no other consideration in the matter"
SIS Miss Davis in any sense an invalid?"
well, her health is not good. But that
was no reason for breaking as far as I was
concerned. I did not wish it. 1t was
against my wishes. My friends all thor
oughly understand the situation. She saw
fit to sever the engagement. In that case
gentleman can do nothing but submit But
if there is such rumor as my breaking off
my engagement to Miss Davis you will do
me kindness by contradicting il"

Important Decision in q Suit Between the
Pacific Corporation and State.
KANSAS CITY, October 22.-The last
State Legislature enacted law providing
for the taxation of all express companies
doing business in the State over rented or
leased lines, the tax being 50 on every S1OO
received or charged for carrying freight
within the State. The law provided for an
annual report from the company to the State
Auditor Tor each years business.
Last June Auditor Siebert attempted to
enforce the law. The Pacific Express Com
pany resisted, claiming that the law was dis
criminative in It's operations in favor of rail-
road companies, of express companies own
ing their own lines, and of steamboat lines.
The claim was also set up that the law was
not valid because it levied tax upon inter-
State commerce The company obtained a
temporary injunction restraining the
Auditor from enforcing the law. To-day
Judges Phillips and Caldwell, of the United
States Circuit Court, dissolved the injunc-
ton and declared the law valid.

rarded and considered out of order. This re-
mark was loudly applauded.

collection address tonight She was followed
by Rev. DR.. Hall, of the First Presbyterian

with good points. in which the President, Mrs.

dress, which followed, Mrs. President Campbell
said il was more IN sorrow than in anger she
took the stand to say word to the wayward
