"Theater OF Arts and Letters Is the
name Of dramatic organization in New

in the struggle for the elevation OF the
beautiful art.
II must be apparent to all that many
plays which take well with most audi
ences are really unworthy the name OF

as the typical English Lord with the
hair parted in the middle and an idiouc
face; the typical "lrishman" with mon
key expression, never to be seen in ma
ture; the "Dutchman" and the typical"
American, all are absurdities, too far be-
low the reach OF serious criticism. Yet
such heroes fill the theaters, certainly

to the satisfaction OF the intellect.

THE HIGH WATER MARK.
Adjutant General Sprague Making Ar
rangements for the Gettysburg Trip.

BosToN, Mass, May 4.-Adjutant A. Cen
eral Sprague of Maine was in Boston to-
day to consult with Colonel Batchelder
regarding the details of the dedication of
the High Water Mark'' monument at
Gettysburg June 2. The President and
members of his cabinet have accepted
invitations to be present Colonel
Batchelder is sending invitations to the
governors of the IS states that contribu-
ted to mark that field. to their staffs, to
leading state officers and to persons of
distinction. General Sprague reports
that large excursion will go from

CHANGES IN THE cHUcH.
Some of the Things Recommended to the
Methodist Conference,

OMAHA, Neb., May 4.-The report of
the committee on constitution submitted
at the M. E. Quadrennial Conference
here, was read by DR.. T. B. Neeley of
Philadelphia. Among other things re-
commended was change in the arrange
ment of the discipline. No material
change was recommended in the rules or
wording of the discipline, but the com
mittee thought the book could be ar
ranged to much better advantage.
The report also suggested that the
date for opening the general conference
be fixed on the first Wednesday in May
every four years, instead of the first day
of May.
1t also recommended that the ministe-
rial and lay delegates vote together in
the general conference on all questions
except those intended to make a change
in the organic law of the church. At
present the ministerial delegation vote
first, and the lay delegates follow. This
plan has become quite unpopular among
the lay delegates, and the recommenda-
ton of the committee on this point will
probably meet with approval.
The report also recommended that no
annual conference shall be organized
with less than 30 travelling ministers,
and that the concurrent vote of three
fourths of the delegates of all the annual
conferences shall be sufficient to author
ize the general conference to make
changes in the organic law of the church.
Colonel John Ray submitted minor
ity report, differing in some respects
from the majority report upon a few
points.

STOCKTON, CAL, May 5.-The Republi-

platform which indorses President Har-

and speaks of him as being among the
very foremost of living statesmen. The
platform evoked the greatest enthusiasm
A resolution was adopted in favor of
carrying out, to the fullest extent, the

ton. They are uninstructed.

TENA DAVIS'S MURDERER.
The Jury Find James Trefethen the
Guilty Man.
FRANK G.. ALMY AGAIN SENTENCED
TO BE HANGED.

In the Davis Case the Verdict was Guilty
in the First Degree as to Trefethen, Not
Guilty as to Smith-New Hampshire
Justice Promptly Dispose of the Effort
in Behalf of AImy.
BosToN, May 4.-The jury in the Tena
Davis trial retired at s. 45 p. M, and was
out three hours and 35 minutes. 1t re-
turned a verdict in the first degree
against James A. Trefethen, charged
with killing Deltena J. Davis, December
23d last. A verdict of not guilty was re-
turned against his brother-fn-law, W. H.
Smith, charged with being an accessory
to the crime. Ex-Governor Long imme-
diately announced his intention of filing
exceptions in the case of Trefethen and
was given until May Goth in which to do
so. If these exceptions are not sustained
Trefethen will be sentenced at the June
term of the Supreme Court. Otherwise
the case will go over until November.
The verdict caused surprise to the pub
lie and to the attorneys interested. Not
withstanding the strength of the circum-
stantial evidence offered by the govern
ment and the able argument of the attor-
ney general, it was generally felt that the
principal fact of the actual commission
of the murder had not been made out.
The first formal ballot on the count
charging Trefetnen with murder in the
first degree, stood II to one for convic-
ton and the esecond was unanimous for
n ioff j 4
on the charge of being an accessory the
first ballot standing 10 to in favor of
acquittal and the second being unani-

"The Robber of the Rhinev

New YORK, May 4.--C. Hayden Coffin,
the young baritone, arrived from Eng
land, having taken passage under the
name of Charles Carter. His incognito
was assumed owing to the late scandal

in which he was mixed up. Coffin will
appear in Barrymore's opera, "The Rob-
ber of the Rhine'' at the Fifth Avenue
Theatre.
Hayden Coffin is a native of Portland.
Me-, but he has been for sixteen years in
London, where he went on the lyric stage
and made his reputation as one of the
best baritones in England.
