congregation Of old ST. Johns that Rev.
| Dr Goodwyn, Of Petersburg, Will accept
| the call rendered him by the vestry OF
| that church. With regard 20 the accept
| ance Of the city mssionaryship by Mr..
| Ktvk. this Will not necessitlte MS resis-
| ration from the charge of Weddell- Me
| rnnrial TO which he Will continue 20 de-
| vote norton OF his time. He will retain
| nastoral oversight Of the Sunday sch Dol
| connected with the mission and will con-
| duct the Sunday morning ard Wednesday
evering services. His work al Wed IL
| Memorial will be under the auspices Of
| The rector Of 81. Johns and the mission
| arv association OF that church, and will
| be entirely Independent OF the Richmond
Missionary Society. During his connec-
| tion with Weddell-Memoral chapel Mr.
Kuyx has done noble work and has en-
dearcd himself greatly 20 his people by
his zeal and pastoral gifts.
II nay be mentioned as a curious coin
cidence that Rev. John 5. Wallace, the
uncle. on the maternal side. OF Rev. Or.
Burton. was tile first rector of St. An
drew's Louisville TO which church the
beloved late pastor Of old st. Johns has
accented a call. and that his father, Rev.
rr. Lewis Burton, preached the sern.
unon the occasion Of the conservation Of
the building.
Madame LescheHzky, the wife Of The
great plano forte teacher, TO whom Pa
dcrewsN ascribes his success, is also
wonderful exponent Of her husbands
method. II II we're possible, say hose
who have heard her, TO think that she
cares two straws about what she plays
she would also be one Of the greatest
executive musicians in Europe. No tech
nical difficulties give her trouble enough
10 rouse her. She seemed 10 have discov-
cred that all IS vanity, and so, with her
Indifference cloaked by a superb demeah-
or. she goes through n recital as queen
might go through the duties Of a drawing
room reception.
on Tuesday last the Little Cleaners
Of the Third Presbyterian church held
the last OF the seasons meetings at the
residence Of the president, Mrs. Slnton.
They will resume their meetings In Sep
tcmber. on Tuesday a retrospect was
taken Of the seasons work, and the
report Of the secretary showed thai since
Christmas the little people had paid out
sixty dollars.
I learn directly from the husband Of
Mary Anderson, writes Box for the Wo-
mems Corner OF the Journal, that there
Is but little truth in the recently circu-
lated report that the actress is writing
her memoirs" Ii seems that during
leisure moments Mrs. Navarro amuses
herself by writing down such incidents
in her professional life as she thinks are
striking. simply 10 preserve them for her
self. The idea Of writing a book has
HaN
course, she has not suffered from a lack
Of offers from publishers. 1 think it is
quite safe TO say that the world viii De-
luite a bit older before it receives n book
by Mary Anderson. And when one really
comes to think Of the matter seriously.
what would the eX-actress write about? |
Her life on the stage was certainly neith- |
sr full nor rounded out; IL was merely |
4 brief season Of success suddenly ended |
by marriage. She might write OF acting |
rs an art. but not Of a career, certainly
That she possesses the Gift OF writing |
10 a certain extent is a well-known fact |
with those who know Mrs. Navarro. She /
has always shown literary tendencies. |
and I'm her acquaintanceship she invaria-
bly, leaned toward literary people. Her
American home was as much the centre /
Tor literary people as it was for people Of /
be stage in fact. l think even more so.
Nary Anderson always enjoyed the society |
If literary people. and she has not
hanged in this respect since her English
esidence.
