AT O'BRIEN'S

Gilbert, & Sullivan's comic opera, Trial by Jury" was produced last night at 0'Briens opera house under the rec tion of Prof. Fred L. Grambs. A fash ionahle audience was present. and the opera was rendered in a highly pleasing manner and was very pleasantly en- joyed. As a whole, the production of the opera was on the professional or der. There were none of the usual waits which are characteristic of an amateur performance, but the positions were all well taken and in a natural manner. The chorus, though not large in numbers, evenly balanced the exquisite orchestra arranged by Professor Grambs The bridesmaids presented indeed a beauti- ful spectacle in white, with the hand some flowers each bore. The following is the cast:
 Miss Lottie Coffin, plaintiff. soprano
 MT. A. A. Latady, judge, baritone.
 MT. J. A. Yeates, council for plaintiff, tenor.
 Mir Charles Bridewell, defendant, tenor.
 MT. Hugh Morrow, associate judge.
 Mir. Fred $. Stowe, usher, baritone.
 Prof. F. M. Roof, foreman of jury.
 The bridesmaids were as follows: , Misses Cornelia Meade, Kathleen Lewis Louise Fucker. Lila May Parker,
 
 Hooper, Elise Ball, Pattie Ruffner, Louise ,. Chisolm, Roy Head, Mary Trimble, and Lena Jackson
 Cupid and the pretty little flower girls made an addition to the cast that was beautiful and attractive.
 Miss Lottie Coffin, as plaintiff had per feet control of her voice at all times, and her singing was sweet and clear She sang with seemingly perfect ease and de- lighted the audience, which appauded her several times. Her costume was an elegant one and caused considerable cons ment.
 As presiding officer, MT. A. A. Latady was simply splendid, and was received with much applause and seemed to be perfectly at ease in the court room. He was so much at ease that his appearance was much on the professional order.
 MT Charles Bridewell, the defendant, not only sang well, but his acting was good When he said to the court, ''If the court please. I will marry her today and the others tomorrow" he was round- ly app1auded.
 moesrs. nI. Roof. Fred S. Stowe and J. A. Yeates also sang their parts well.
 Between act one and act two Miss Patti Ruffner rendered "Sullivan's Lost Chord" which brought forth round after round of applause. She has voice that is worth more than a passing notice and some day she will startle us. Her voice is far above the average and all that it needs is cultivation
 Little Miss Minnie Lazarus was Cupid, and between the acts she rendered some recitations that set the audience almost wild.
 Misses Julia DeBardeleben, Katy Smith, Louise Rushton, Carrie Cobbs, Lucille DNyer and Minnie Lazarus were the flower girls, and Messrs Brock, Cnwan. Plosser, Graham. Shepherd, Sta pleton, Rencher, Gaston. P~azer, Brit tain, Adams and Hanley composed the jury.
 A matinee will be given this afternoon at 2 o'clock and the production deserves a packed house.

IT WAS A GREAT GAME.

The Match Game of Pool Between Two Bx-
 perts A Large Crowd Saw It-The Runs.
 A match game of pool was played in night between Charley Broxton, the champion pool player of Alabama, and Charley Weston. or California Charley" as he is better known. The latter wore the leather trousers, cartridge belt and Texas sombrero usually worn by the cowboys.
 The game was 150 points continuous pool At S:30, when the game was com menced the room was filled with spec tators who were eager to see the game be- tween the two champions. Betting was prohibited and three or four policemen, including Chief Mcdonald, were on hand to preserve order and see that no laws were violated.
 The game started off about even. and they kept along pretty well together un- til they reached 30. There "California Charley" took the lead and ran up to 99, while Broxton was only A. Broxton then made two or three good rups and gained "A, while the Cowboy" remained at 99. From that point to the finish each made about the same number of points, Brox- ton having 105 when California Charley ran In the 150th ball.
 Both put up splendid games, but the visitor was too much for Broxton, and early in the game took such a lead that the latter could not overcome it.
 After the game California Charley gave an exhibition of fancy shots some of which were remarkably fine, and seem jngly impossible.

THE BIG DRILL.
General Schofield Reviews the Troops Pa
 rade of Remarkable Brilliancy.

Memphis, May 20.-This was perhaps the day of chief moment in Memphis since the interstate drill and encamp- ment began Lieut.-Gen. Schofield review ing the troops; he was the guest of the city. The parade was one of remarkable splendor, its brilliancy being increased by the presence of the several sponsors, their maids and chaperons in carriages drawn by fine horses and decorated gor- geousiy in the colors of the companies for which they acted.
 The grand review occupied nearly two hours and immediately after it General Schofield and staff were entertained at luncheon by Gen. R. B.. Snowden and staff of the drill management. He left at o'clock for Houston, Tex, and other points in the west. where United States troops are stationed. Exhibition drills by several of the companies completed the days programme. Tomorrow the drin will end with sham battle and the drill for the best individual soldier. The winners in the various classes will be named and prizes awarded.

SeminarieS Will Be Under the AS-
 sembly's Supervision.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING ONLY
Tomorrow and Next Day VIII Witness More Surprises Eastern Bankers Can't
 Run the Boards Any Longer.

Pittsburg, Pa., May 2O.-Seminary control carried the day today in the Presbyterian assembly. The report of the visiting committee, which has been charged with negotiations with the score or less of Presbyterian divinity schools of the United States looking to the changes in their fundamental laws, such as would bring their endowments and their faculties under direct supervision of the Presbyterian church, was adopted by vote of 432 to 9S without modifica- tionafter prolonged and spirited debate that equalled ill power and burning in- terest any ever held in a general assem- bly,. The report carries with it a recom- mendation that the seminary charters be changed so as to give the church, as represented by the general assembly, the standing of a quasi-corporation hay ing the power to appear in the courts of the states and to maintain proceedings to enforce the control over the teaching and funds of the institutions By this action of the general assembly the Pres byterian church demonstrates its inten- tion and it's power to claim its own and to care for its own, whether it be the theological seminary or in the mission boards.
 1HlS IS lue begin OHly. IOHlOIIOW and the day after and so on through this asSembly's session will see more of these ecclesiastical interferences in the plans of private corporations and of friendly coteries in the boards of the church.
 The home missions committee makes it's report at 10 o'clock tomorrow. Three men whose terms expire as directors Of the board will be boldly turned down by a vote of the assembly unless the com mittee takes warning and scratches l,.s.. 11 ,-f hafAF reaches the assembly. The men are ob- noxious because they are Briggs men. There ar others like them on the foreign board and when their time comes off they will go, too. Some of those whose names are to bescratched are bankers who have been advancing money for many years to the bankrupt boards. That makes no difference to this assembly. The western men say: "If there are no bankers in New York but Briggs men, send the mis- sionary accounts to us in the west. There are banks in Chicago and Cincinnati that are not run on doctrinal lines"

MISSIONARIES CHILDREN
Under the Protecting Wing of the Southern
 Presbyterian Church.


 Presbyterian Church.
 Dallas, Tex, May 20.-Two years ago, at the Macon general assembly of the Southern Presbyterian church, Rev. A. P Saunders, a missionary returned from Greece and at that time pastor of the church at Fredericksburg, Va, ad- dressed the assembly on the importance of providing some institution wherein the children of missionaries could be cared for when sent to this country for education. He spoke of the movement of which he was the author to found such an institution and aroused great enthusiasm for his cause. Last year at Nashville he reported most gratifying progress and his enterprise was formally endorsed by the assembly and made a department of it's work. Tonight the general assembly for the third time gave it's attention to this institution. Dr. Peyton H. Hoge of Wilmington, N. C.. read the report of the special committee to which MT. Saunders report was re- ferred and upon it's adoption spoke feel ingly of the relief the home offered to those ministers while poverty prevented the education of their children. He was followed in an-eloquent address by Rev. Dr. Watkins of Spartanburg, s. c. Rev. Dr. R. H. Fleming of Lynchburg, Va, then spoke of the duty of individuals and churches to support this work. He would be recreant to the noblest instincts of his heart if he did not appeal for this cause. He called attention to the names of the children on the roll. The master has taken many of my dear friends to himself, but has left to me the care of their children.
 Dr. Hemphill then spoke of the training school feature of this institution and it's importance to the church.
 Dr. Sampson, principal of the school, spoke in an impressive and touching way of Rev. Dr. Saunders. He told of his mod esty and his wonderful conservation to the cause. He reviewed the points made by other speakers and urged the church to give full support to this institution. His speech was full of humor and pathos and made good impression. Other speakers followed, and on motion the as- sembly took up a collection. The re- port was then taken up and all it's rec concentrations were adopted without op- position. A new standing committee was decided upon for the cause. The assem- bly, then adjourned till a. m. tomor- row.
 Tn an interview with your correspond- ent Dr. s. H. Chester said that the ad- dition to this institution Of the mission-I ary school next fall, which will be in charge of the principal, Dr. Sampson, assisted by Miss Ellen Emerson and Mrs, mission, would throw this institution into closer relations to the great foreign mission work of the church. It will give valuable training to those under appoint ment for foreign fields at a minimum cost who would otherwise have to seek their training in outside institutions or go to their work without preparation.
