ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing, Reed and Collier will appear in their
new farce-comedy, "Hoss and Hoss."
Of Charlie Reed the whole community
knows, and of his versatility and capacity
as low comedian. Collier is represented
as fair match for him, and the two as
the funniest tandem team on the road.
The Philadelphia Record says of the farce:
"The plot is lost in the bubbling humor
Of Reed and Collier, and in the dreams of
dancing skirts. Charles Reed is LAWYER
Charlie Hoss, and William Collier is
Judge Willie Hoss, who are thrown to-
gether with no apology but to create
laughter through three acts, and that they
did successfully. Judge Hoss holds court
in room which loses judicial caste by the
impish notions his son from the city
has put into his head. A stock ticker has
been put in, and hung on the wall with
other sporting pictures, is portrait of
J. l.. Sullivan. The baseball returns. too,
are kept posted on the black board inn
mediately back of the Judges bench,
which he himself has bought and paid
for. Since a suit against a theatrical
troupe is on the docket, several clever
speciality acts are introduced, among them
being the kangaroo dance by Louise
Allen, novel dance by Helene Collier
and German song by Adele Harrington.
The restaurant scene is a new idea, in the
third act, and proves to be full of new
and clever features.
Reed and Collier jointly are response
bic, doubtless, for many of the clever wit
ticisms that pop out naturally through the
made by Judge Hoss, who tells Miss
Allen that she may practice her kangaroo
dance, for this is a farce comedy and
you can do anything you like ?"

The Political Duties of PREACHERS.

In these times in which we live there is
as much need that preachers should be
teachers, examples, leaders and reform
ers, as at any time in the history of Chris
tianity or of the world. There are a thou
sand questions in which they need not
especially concern themselves, and about
which they need not discourse. But there
are others which effect the intellectual
and moral development of the people, and
others still which are related in morals to
the perpetuity of our free institutions,
and others which are vital to the religious
liberties and rights OF the nation. The
questions in either case need not be speci-
ned in detail; every Intelligent person
can enumerate and classify them. Con-
corning the first it is not expected that
the clergy will undertake to instruct or
control the people who may attend upon
their miniStrationS. In regard to the sec
ond every sensible, loyal, progressive
American citizen holds firmly to the opin-
ion that each preacher should wisely and
at proper times discuss these all-import-
ant matters, and in the light of Gods
Word set forth the claims of duty, and by
the highest moral persGasions incite and
inspire all to its faithful performance. ANY
preacher who neglectS to do this fails TO
answer the expectations of the people,
he may not excuse himself with the vain
plea that his congregation is made up of
different parties, nor the still more worth
less plea that he must not mix religion
and politics. Ii he really loves God, if
he loves his country, if he loves human
iJy, he must consider and discuss the
greatunderlying principles that are essen
tial to the continuance of good govern
ment and TO the peace and prosperity of
the country. He must condemn all moral
and political wrongs, no matter how VEN
cradle, or respectable, or powerful, ut
terly regardless of what party may be re-
SnOnSfhln for thpir QYjStonnQ
ance. He must voice the cry Of the out
ragged and down-trodden of this and every
other land. He must be the great-hearted
champion of all the friendless and help
less.-Bishop w. +. Mallalieu in North
American Review.

A REAL SURPRISE.
How Few Generous Citizens Glad
dened Many Hearts.


dened Many Hearts.
When the addition to the Sixth-street
Methodist Episcopal Church was con-
structed to receive the new organ,
the first story was set apart for the
Young Peoples Society, but the cost of
the building greatly exceeded the first
estimate, and the Building Committee
felt unable to furnish the room, so one of
the trustees thought it happy idea to
give the young people a surprise by fur
nishing it. He consulted two good friends,
not members of that church, but who
have large hearts and generous impulses,
and they at once agreed that it would be
the right thing to do, and at once drew
their checks and said, go ahead"
The work was done in the last two
days. The floor was carpeted with Brus-
sells carpet, the room seated with suitable
chairs and desks, and the walls orna-
mented with pictures. In every way the
room was completely furnished, and all
was done in such way that no one knew
of 1t, excepting those interested, not even
the pastor.
Last evening, after prayer-meeting, the
pastor was asked to invite the young
people to take look at their new room.
1t was perfect surprise to all, and it
would have done anyone good to have
seen their happy faces. This was one of
the cases in which it was more blessed to
give than to receive.
