TO THE DARK CONTINENT
Missionary for the Congo Region
Examined by l'rcsbytery.
LIVELY DEBATE OVER NATTER
Some Objection to the Form OF the Ex.
animation to Which lie Was Sub.
jcctcd-Casc of John Collin
LGii Before the Body.

The annual sessions Of the Lacka-
wanna PreSbytery are being held at
Mortrose, and there is a large attend
ance of churchmen of that denomina-
tion. Yes terday afternoon the case of
John Collin was brought to the att"n-
tion of the Presbytery. Collin is any-
ious To lit himself for the ministry,
and. after some discussion, it was de-
cided to assist the young man iinan-
c.ally and otherwise.
After the case of Collin was satisfac-
torially settled, DR.. Robinson. of Scran-
ton, told of young African who had
come to be examined before the Pres
bytery as to his ability to become a
missionary to his native country, the
Congo region. His name Is Joseph
FitZ. The divine said that FitZ was
not classical scholar. nor scientist,
neither was he familiar with church
history and that he would ask tina he
be examined upon his knowledge of the
bible
He had been studying in Chicago for
three years in Moody's school. Fitz
was introduced by DR.. Logan. of Scran-
ton, and Robinson and his eXamina-
tion began. Rev. DIR. S. C. Logan ques-
tioning him upon his personal expert
ence, and Rev. DR.. James Mcleod, OF
Scranton, upon his knowledge of the
bible. His answers were wonderfully
intelligent.
Candidate Fitz Examined.
Finally, when DR.. Logan began to
examine FitZ upon his knowledge of
theology many present objected, and
quite an animated discussion occurred,
and fire of words between some of the
speakers disconnected the young man
at, ~, Gal lr.1 hi
from the room. There We're many mo-
tions and amendments until at last
DR.. Logan was allowed to proceed in
the theology examination. When a
few questions had been asked the meet
ing came to close.
The young african had, to the sat
isfaction of everybody present. given
complete evidence of his capacity to
preach the gospel to his far away
friends In the Dark Continent.
The evening exercises of the Presby-
terry were exceedingly interesting. DR..
Robinson, of Scranton, conducting the
meeting, After reading from Matthew,

twelfth verse. DR.. Mcleod offered a
beautiful prayer. The singing of a
hymn followed. after which Rev. Mr..
Lee, of Carbondale, preached an in
structive and comprehensive sermon
upon the proper reading of the scrip
lures. The subject was well treated
and very instructive. DIR. Mcleod then
gave a pleasing talk upon foreign and
domestic missions. convincing his hear
ers that the work lay at their very
doors, and A. w. Dickson, of the First
Presbyterian church, spoke upon the
same subject In his usually bright and
earnest manner His heart seemed
overflowing with the work, and all list
ened attentively. The exercises closed
with singing by choir and the benedic-
ton by Rev. Mr.. Mcleod.

A hearing In the case against Dennis

Alderman Mlllar last night. The de-

LOUIS JAMES OTHELLO.
Il Differs from That Of Some OF HIS
Predecessors in the Role.


The "Othello" that Louis James pre-
.ented at the Academy Of Music last
night is evidently the result OF careful,
fhoughtful study of Shakespeare's lines
interpreted in the light of modern
stage IDEAS. 1t lacks the barbaric quail
tiles and intensity Of the elder SalVinl
and Of Mccullough In the costuming or
Othello and tine manner in which he
delivers his lines. MIR. James gives to
the Moorish warrior more tenderness
and less passion than did many or his
great predecessors who depicted the
Moor as a person subordinating every
other feeling to those of jealousy and
revenge Mr.. James has tanned the
wild exuberance of passion which stage
traditions would have us believe were
the predOminating characteristic or
OthellO and gives character which
preserves the strong. resolute purpose
Of the man, but blends with 1t a ten
derness, depth OF feeling and heroism
in suffering that were not so pro-
nounced in the Moor of other days.
This version Of OthellO may not be
the correct one and some of the older
play-goers are sure 1t Is not. but that
It In the one which appeals most strong
ly to reasOn seems certain. 1t Is the
manner Of man James shows. us the
gentle Desdemonda would be attracted
to rather than to the fiercer individual
shown by Mccullough. In the scene
where the Moor relates the manner in
which he wooed Desdemona and in
those where the jealousy Iago has in
stilled into his being takes overpower-
ing possession of him. Mr.. James
proved mis- right to be numbered among
the cOuntry's greatest tragic actors.
He received excellent support from
Guy Lindsey. whose Iago was a fin
ished bit OF acting. Miss Alma Kruger
had beauty and made a sweet and ten
der Desdemona. but her acting has q
mechanical quality that she should
strive to rid 1t Of. The other members
OF the company are very capable peo-
pie.
The stage setting and costuming
was accurate and beautiful.

PUYALLUP REDS UNEASY,
They Protest Against the In
CurSiOnS of the White
Settlers.
Warned Not to Attempt to Take
Possession.

TACOMA, WASH. May 1.-The sale of
land in the Puyallup Indian Reservation,
under the direction of the Government,
was begun here to-day, despite the protests
of large number of Indians, who threat
ened to make trouble if any of the pur-
chasers of the land attempt to take pos
session.
The Puyallup Indians are recognized by
decision of the United States Circuit
Court as citizens, and exercise all the rights
as such, with the single exception that the
land on their reservation is held in trust
for them by the Government, the Indians
only b.ing allowed to enter into lease of
the same for period not to exceed two
years. Great dissatisfaction exists among
them on this account, and when the sale
of the lands began to-day a squad of red
skins announced publicly that the whites
had better not buy any of the land. John
Laclaire, one of the chiefs, said:
"The land belongs to us. The White
Father gave it to the Indians. These men
come out here to sell it when we don't
want them to. We want to be let alone.
We are good Indians. If we want to sell
the lands we sell, but the Government
says mo- If the Government wants to sell
the lands and we say no. the Government
says sell anyhow Indians don't like that.
No man can take lands if he buys; In
dians say so. We give fair warning to
men who buy to keep off lands and away
from reservation"

CANDIDATES ARE MANY.
Muller, Warfield and Wein-
stock Likely to Be Named
by Budd.
GOES TO A SOUTHERN MAN.
1t Is Thought Major Driffel Of Po-
mona Will Be Appointed ADJ
jutant-General.

STOCKTON, CAL, May 1. - Governor
Budd will no doubt appoint the new briga-
dier-generals early next week. The fixing
of brigade districts will be done by orders
promulgated by the Governor, and he will
name brigade commander for each.
These will be three in number under the
new law, and the Third Brigade will proba-
bly, extend to the borders of San Joaquin
County, and the former brigade COM
mande1, Muller of Fresno, will secure the
appointment.
Owing to the dissensions among the lead
ing applicants in San Francisco, General
Dickinson and Colonels Barry and Nc
Donald, the appointment as brigadier-gen-
eral of the Second Brigade will probably
not fall to any of the officers named but
Major War6eld, at present proprietor of
the California Hotel in San Francisco, is
thought to be favored for the place by the
Governor.
General Sheehan's candidacy is favorably
considered by Governor Budd as the other
brigade commander. 1t is hardly thought
that the plum will fall to him, though, but
rather to MajJr Weinstock of General
Sheehan's staff
In order to conciliate those who are max
ing a fight for distinctly Southern Cali
fornia brigade the Governor has about de-
cided to appoint Major Driffel of Pomona,
of the Seventh Regiment, N. G.. c., as
adjutant-general. This will give the south
ern section a representation close to the
head of the National Guard.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, May 1.-Wesley
Perry, late collector of the Otay irrigation
district, was arrested to-day on criminal
complaint, charging him with willfully
and feloniously omitting and refusing to
pay over funds of the district, amounting
to $517.
The complaint is made by Rauford
Worthing, prominent landholder in the
district 1t sets forth that Perry was
collector of the district from November,
1892 to March, 1895, when he turned over
the office to Isaac Smith, but failed to turn
over the sum stated. The money was
collected as assessments or taxes on the
lands of the district, and it is feared the
titles are affected. The sum involved is
said to be much larger than that named in
The complaint.
Perry was found by constable at his
home at Otay, ami made no attempt to get
away. He was brought to town and ar
raigned before Justice Bryan, who fixed
his bonds at $3.50. Perry furnished bail
and was released. His examination was
set for May 10.
Perry says the matter is simply legal
tangle, resulting from misunderstanding
of the Wright law, and that he withheld
the money on the advice of his attorneys,
and will pay it over when compelled by
the courts. 1t is charged by Worthing,
however, that Perry made personal use OF
the funds

HAzING At Los ANGELES.
Brutal Treatment of a Student at the Uni
rersitu of Somthe11a CaLiforIlia.

Brutal 1reG tnent of a Student at the Unit
rerSity of Southern California.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, May IA case oi
hazing, which occurred at the University
of Southern California on the night OF
April II, has just come to light. The
hazers left their mark on the victim, which
viii be an unpleasant reminder to him
through life. The young man upon whom
the outrage was perPet-ated is G. w.
Bollen of Murrietta, Cal, divinity stu
dent of the Methodist faith, in the fresh
man class, who entered the university six
weeks ago.
Several students, members of what they
are pleased to call the "Chaucer Club, .
induced Bollen to become a member of an
anti-Catholic society, and upon receiving
his consent, put him through an initiation
got up especially for him. After tying
his hands and blindfolding him, he was
driven over tin cans and various other
obstacles. He was then placed astride a
pole and carried into the basement of the
university, where an image of a woman
was painted on his chest with a solution of
nitrate of silver.
Not allowing the solution to be exposed
to the air it soon ate away the tissues and
caused fostering wound which the doc
tors fear will develop into a permanent
ulcer. The perpetrators were punished by
a suspension of one week, but the Humane
Society has taken the matter up and an
investigation will be made. The case will
be brought to the attention of the proper
authorities
