MORE HERFSY

CHICAGO, Sept. THE recently COM
pleted Fourth Baptist church, located at
the corner Of Ashland boulevard and Mon
roe streets. was dedicated yesterday morn
ing DR.. George c. lorimer, formerly of
this city, but now IN charge Of fremont
Temple, Boston, delivered the deiicatory
sermon. taking his text from the meeting
of Christ with the woman of Samaria, who
was drawing water at the well-"rhe
hour cometh and now is when true wor-
shippers shall worship him in spirit and
in truth
In the course of his address DR.. Lorimer
advanced some theories which, had they
been uttered in the days of the Puritans,
would have caused their author to be
branded as n rank heretic He asserted
that Sunday being the first day of the
week, called to remembrance the day of
resurrection, but thsV while man should
cease from manual labor on that day, he
should not consider II as q sacred day. but
should amuse ana rest himself as he saw
lit, not forgetting the significance of the
day. Emotional worship was deprecated.
as was the theory that all worship should
be conducted in places set apart for that
purpose. No place was considered as
especially sacred when man desired to
worship God-it could be done in one
place as well as another DR.. LOrimer also
asserted that the sacrsments were not
means OF grace or remission, but lnstruc-
tion, which those desiring TO learn of the
grace and goodness Of God should attend.

down hard today on Sc. PauPs appeal for
union of the two cities. The St Paul
chamber of commerce appointed a COM
mittee and asked Minneapolis to appoint a
like committee to confer on union. St.
PauPs request was referred to acommittee,
which reported today. The report says
that the appointment of COMMITTEES
would be of no benefit to Minneapolis;
that the territory that separates the two
cities by space OF five miles Is compare
lively open country, making consolidation
impossible; that ST Paul has never agreed
to a division of this territory, and wanted
Minneapolis to come in and help build it
up; that the municipal Indebtedness of st.
Paul is much greater than that OF Mime
apolis, and that at no time in the history
of the city has Minneapolis experienced
such growth as during the past year.

TIE IRIsH LEAGIIE.

OMAHA, Sept. John P. H. Sullivan,
secretary of the Irish National League OF
America, when asked whether the forth
coming convention at Chicago would be
for or against ParnelE said: 1.-The conven-
tion will be perfecbly independent Of all
Irish factions. When the convention was
called the following cablegram was sent to
the leader of each faction:
Convention meets in Chicago, Oct. L.
"ParneiI replied as follows: Regret
that l cannot visit America in October:
may possibly later. What do you suggest?'
Mr.. Parnell probably wanted a postpone
ment of the convention, bet the days for
submission to the whims of Irish leaders
have passed forever" said MIR. Sullivan.
''Mr Mccarthy, after some days of medi-
tation, answered: 'Cablegram received.
Thanks BY Parnell in power and Par
nell out OF power, by members or Nc
Carthy's following, whether united or dis
united, the treatment accorded to the Irish
National league has been cowardly, dis
courteous, and, may say, treacherous.

RAILWAY BUNCO.

HUTCHINSON, Kan, Sept IA profound
sensation was created here this afternoon
bu the arrest of z +. Wise, treasurer of
the Hutchinson and Southern railroad,
and the issuance of a warrant for the pres
ident of the same road, II. A. Christie of
Chicago. The facts leading TO the arrest
are as follows: In 1889 a party of railroad
men, chiefly from Chicago, set on foot the
project of building a railroad south from
this CITY. The road was chartered as the
Mcpherson, Texas and Gulf railroad Reno
county subscribed TO the stock of the
road S92. 600 and issued county bonds for
that amount. The city of Hutchinson do
mated S20,0 900 for the terminals, etc. White
township in Kingman county subscribed
S1O0 600 and the city of Kingmxn 0,000 for
terminal facilities.
The company built thirty-two miles Of
road from this city to klngman and
mortgaged it for SO, 500 per mile, which
mortgage bonds were hypothecated to the
Union Pacific railroad for 75 per cent of
lheir face valne, netting the company
$500, 600 cash. From the bonds issued
S142, 600 were realized, a total of $442, ,000
The construction of the road cost not to
exceed 81, 200 per mile, or a total value of
S246, 400, showing a balance on hand of
S195. .oo0 Other estimates place the cost
of the road at So 600, which would show a
balance of $500
It now transpires that there are no other
stockholders than Reno county and the
township IN klngman county. Today, as
stated above, the county commissioners of
this county swore out warrants for the
arrest of L. F. Wise, treasurer of the road,
AND H. A. Christie, president, charging
them with embeZzlement of S250, 600, which
should be on hand but is not Mr.. Wise,
being in town, was Immediately placed
under arrest. Mr.. Christie is supposed to
be In Chicago, and a requisition will be
made upon the governor or Illinois for his
delivery to the courts of this state. The
excitement is intense and some of the best
legal talent OF this state has been retained
TO assist the prosecution. Wise's prelim-
mary examination has been set for tomor-
row and bail placed az SIS 600.

hNAMrRlcAN TRAGEDY.

New YORK, Sept. Abraham Lin
coln y the ioint work. of Archibald Cor
don and Mckee Rankin, has already
caused an agitation that, so some theaHl-
cal weather prophets say, foreshadows
something like a storm. The chlet opposI-
tion to the play is on account OF the por-
travail of John Wilkes Booth. Many
actors argue that il would be an unteenng
discourtesy to produce such play while
Edwin Booth is still alive. The tlrst man
on the American stage today, modest
gentleman, a thorough artist, the produc-
tion would give him pain and revive
associations happily dimmed by time
The Grand Army men ale going TO make
a vigorous Iow about the production, ana
there will undoubtedly be strong feel
ing concerning it in the south.
The fact is instanced that Leander
Richardson, the editor of the Dramatic
News was asked TO write the
dialogue, but for some reason was unable
TO do So Then Frederick Bryton was SAID
to have been engaged to play John wilkes
Booth He too, found an excuse IL IS
said that Booth is shown as wOuld-be
betrayer Harley Merry. whom the pro
jectors tried to have paint the scenery,
fatty refused to do so. The Actors Order
of Friendship, of which Louis Aldrltch Is
the animating spirit, have roundly con-
demned the idea of giving the play 10 tne
public. David Henderson, manager OF the
Chicago Opera house. came TO the city last
week 10 satisfy himself on certain
points. The play is to be given IN his
fhcater He had heard that John Wilkes
Booth is the hero. Mr.. Henderson said
on arriving here that If he found any por-
tion of the piece such as to injure the feel
inps of Edwin Booth he would not allow it
played in his theater. Il is understood
that the plsy was read TO Mr. henderson
aud he suggested several changes. he
saws the piece as it stands cannot be
played in his theatre.
Mr. Rankin says that the play VIII nave
a showing spite of obstacles. Abraham
Lincoln" is the result of no recent idea.
Mckee Rankin had the idea suggested TO
him by his father in Canada many years
ago 1t was not until playing recently IN
Philadelphia that the plan OF treatment
occurred to him.
"a young actor was talking to me few
days ago. said he yesterday, ''and refer
ring to this play SAID: But Mr.. Booth,
how will he regard it?' l asked him
whether the piece should be abandoned on
that account. He said that out of respect
TO a great benefactor of the profession 1t
should. I did not think so. | asked him
what Mr.. Booth had done for the prOfes
sion. He instanced the Players club If
the objections rest solely on benefactions,
this was a poor example The Players
club is so exclusive that the hard-working
rank and file of the profession are beyond
its borders This young man was not a
member himself. and it is doubtful wheth-
er he would be admitted. Human graft
tude is a queer clement at best There is
the Home near Philadelphia, endowed by
Edwin Forrest, a real and active good.
Yet Edwin Forrest is no more than a mem
ory, often flippantly spoken Of now."
