A SECOND CALL.
DR.. A. W. Archibald Declines One Hut |
Accepts Another.
DR.. A. W. Archibald, pastor of the Ed
wards Congregational church at Daven-
port, Ia, has returned from two weeks
absence at Minneapolis and Chicago. At
the city last named he attended the annua
convention of the American Board of For
eign Missions, and at Minneapolis the ma
tional council of Congregational churches.
A leading paper of Davenport says: eat
the Edwards church prayer meet
ing last night DR.. A. W. Archibald an
nounced that he had declined his recent
call to the Union church at South Wey-
mouth, Mass, but that be had accepted
another call received by telegram last Sat-
urday from tho Hyde Park Congregational
church In suburban Boston. He stated
that this call, like the other, came to him
wholly unsought. Committees from the
church had followed him up during his
vacation on "the still hunt" plan. Then
he was invited to visit the field, and he
did 80 week ago last Sabbath, going from
the American board meeting in Chicago.
There is great reluctance to sever ties that
have been the pleasantest in pastoral ex-
perience of fifteen years, and the church
has passed resolutions expressive of deep
regret at parting from him and speaking
very highly of him as pastor and preach
or. The passionate in this city is in it's fifth
year. The Hyde Park church is one Of the
very largest in the Congregational denom-
;ro of ho q
| churches of this order in the country be-
| ing larger. There are about 700 members,
| with a Sunday school of nearly the ssme
| number. The salary will be $4,000"
Mr.. Archibald is graduate of Yale d.
| vinity school, class of 1875, and is son-in-
| law of our townsman, Charles A. Warren,
| formerly president of the State Street
Horse Railroad company. Mr.. Archibald
| has preached several times in New Haven
| street church, and is well known aud has
| a large circle of friends here. Mr.. Archi-
bald is the author of the work, 1.-THE Bible
Verified" published by the Presbyterian
| board of publication and Sabbath school
work. It is work of 252 pages, and has
met with such demand that in the short
space of eighteen months three editions
have been published in this country, and a
| Spanish version has been issued.
Entertainments.
THE NEW HAVEN OPERA HOUSE.
The largest audience of the week was at
the New Haven opera house last evening
to see Charles J. Stevenson in his roman
tic play, "Enoch Arden" The play was
presented in its usual satisfactory manner.
The management has added very strong
attraction for the remainder of the week
in the engagement of Miss Ruth Daven-
port, the famous Evangeline for the past
two seasons of Rice's beautiful Evangeine
company. The lady has a wonderful sopra'
no voice of much sweetness and power,
and honestly captures her audience with
her artistic work. It almost seemed thai
"Sweet Ev angeline' in her prison cell wal
with us again at her encore song of "Come
to Ne Quickly, My Darling" In addition
| to the above her selections were, Chime
| Only Thine" "Dear Heart" and ''Love is
Curious Thing" from Said Pasha. En-
cores and bouquets rewarded her effort
and crowned her success.
NEXT WEEKS ATTRACTIONS.
Dick German, in his German dialect ant
sensational comedy "Conrad, or the HAND
of Friend" will be the attraction OF
Monday and do, Tuesday and aan Hlman Nat
Thursday, Friday and Saturday E. A
Warren's great production of 'Nobody'
Claim" with Lizzie May Ulmer and
strong cast, will be the attraction.
The performance of "Robid Hood" By
and evening will be one of the finest pro
auctions of opera in this city this season
The company has a reputation second t,
none and includes in the cast some of tn
most prominent member of the profession
, Miss Bertha Waltzinger, formerly OF thi
: | city, is a member of this company.
II Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesda,
evenings and Wednesday afternoon Jsffer
, son, Klaw & Ertapger's company vii
present 1.-THE Country Circus"
GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
Miss Pauline Hall more stately and beau
. | tiful than ever, will make her welcome re
turn to New Haven on Monday and Tues
day evenings next, November Z and s, als'
giving a special matinee on Tuesday at
p. m. Her company is said to be one O.
: the best comic opera organizations eve
put together. Among the deservedly men
tionables are Irene Verna, Eva Davenport
Frank David, Jaques Kruger, Harry Mac
Donough, John Brand, Arthur Miller
. Jenny Eddy, Kate Dunbar, etc. A choru
of fifty voices and an orchestra of twent,
musicians. The production will be iden
. | tically the same as was seen at the Fiftl
avenue theater, New York. This com
: pany has had a run of fou
. | months in Boston and two month
in New York. That "Puritania" ha
struck a bright note in popular taste il
clear from the large audiences that attend
, every performance and the hearty plauditl
, and encores which greet the favorite mum
bers in the opera. It has gained not ONLY
| an artistic but financial success. The
, audiences are not only large and fashion
able, but they also include the most cult
| waited musical people of our theater-goin
| public. Pauline Hall evidently still main
: tains the popularity which she won in thi
a | city several seasons ago, and her artistic
, | endeavor and interchangeable labor in pro
J ducing this opera in such magnificent styl'
will undoubtedly gain for her deservedly
prosperous season.
The sale of seats is now open.
Robert Mantell will present his new play
''The Face in the Moonlight" next Wed
nesday evening.
. A fair sized audience witnessed the pro
{ duction of "The Fairies Well" at tn,
r Grand opera house last evening. It is the
first time this season that New Haven peo
pie have had an opportunity to witness (
l | romantic Irish drama. And this certainly
i. ranks among the first of this class of plays
And next to Joseph Murphy in his old
.. standby, ''The Kerry Cow" 1t is safe tc
say that Mr.. George 81. Simmons as"LarrJ
Dee," is the foremost of the romantic Irisf
actors. Joe Davis, as candy Poogan, Thai
, a dialect that you could hoe potatoes
!. with, and pleased bis audience
