A THEATRICAL REVIEW.
The Season lust Opened Mas Turned Out
Badly.

NEW YORK, -.-Bcforo the open
ing of tho present theatrical season it was
freely predicted by those who admit that
they know u good deal about almost every
thing that everybody who had few dol
lars to put a show on the road was certain
to be in position to do little note shaw
ing by next spring. So far the prophets
are about as much "off'' as the inmates of

shows certainly had hard lines, but the
business done then in many cases appears
positively prosperous beside what is being
done now.
An acquaintance, who is one of the
shrewdest managers in the country, told
me a few days ago that in all his expert
ence there had never been anything like
it. Enterprises which yielded fair profits
even last year arc now losing money, al
though the promise of better times has had
the effect of causing him to improve tho
productions. This man rs a manager of
small attractions and his opinion is moro
valuable than that of the heavy operators,
who only skim the surface. Although the
season has scarcely opened the road is al
ready strewn with wrecks, and many more
are likely to follow, unless all signs fail.
1t is not, however, the "little fellows''
alone who are being hit hard, if Dame Ru-
NOR speak true, and the garrulous old
shrow is having so much to say that she
compcls at least limited credcncc Sew
eral pretentious enterprises have either
come to grief already or arc just on the
ragged edge. A case in point is "Thc City
of Pleasure" of which Charles and Daniel
Frohman both thought so much that they
formed q eopartnership for its production
and put it on at the high toned Empire
thcater on Broadway, where the price for
an orchestra chair is So. A magnificent
cast was given the piece, which was ex-
tensively boomcd and its success was re-
garded rs practically assured. 1t was pro-
duced and proved an out and out frost
After vicarious career of couple of
weeks it was scnsibly withdrawn. 1t is
generally admitted that as Dccourcelles
originally wrote the play for French audi
ences it was probably a pretty good mclo-
drama, but tho Englishng of thopiecc had
been intrusted to Lights o. London
George r. Sims, with the result that the
Empire theater audiences laughed immod-
eratcly at what were intended to be the
pathetic portions.
70 show how fallible managers arc it
may be mentioned that Charles Frohman
also has the American rights to ''Tho
Sporting Duchess, " an English connection
the motif of which is amply demonstrated
by the title. This was considered u proba-
bic winner, but not "a great big thing
like ''The City of Pleasure" But an OK
ceptionally strong list of people was en-
gagged ana inc piece was produced at the
big cosmopolitan Academy of Music, where
the best scat brings only 81. This house
has such an enormous seating capacity
that it has very seldom been really packed
during the last few years, but it is stated
upon good authority that despite the ex-
cessively hot weather which has prevailed
almost continuously since the production
of 'Tho Sporting Duchess a very heavy
business has been done, and during the
few let ups on the part of the thermometer
people have actually been turned away

CHICAGO.-St Paul's.-Rev. DR.. A.
j. Garfield was called to CORTLAND, N.
Y. last week on account of the illness OF
his venerable mother. The Rev. Edward
E. Towne occupied the pulpit at the
morning service. The usual musical SER
vice was held at o'clock.
Church of the Redeemer.- Rev. L.
b. Gregory, of Halifax, N. s., preached
last Sunday morning and evening to
larger congregation than greeted him on
the previous Sunday. We learn from the
reports in the Monday papers that the
sermons were quite we'll received by his
hearers. His morning topic was: "The
Martyrdom Of Man." Hereferred to the
ancient belief that 'the earth was the
most important body in the universe, be-
cause man dwelt upon it," as theory
he had always admired, because it en-
braced the doctrine Of the worth of man.
"From time immemorial,' however, he
said, politicians have held that man ex-
listed for the state, not the state for
man."
"Into such a world" the speaker went
on, "came the Christ with gospel OF the
worth and dignity Of man. But the
church soon forgot all about Christ's
teachings, and humanity was sacrificed
upon the altar of creed and ceremony.
Jesus put the grand emphasis on char
acter; the church said Unless you
spout certain shibboleths and practice
certain genufections, your goodness is
not good
I'VE must get back to Jesus, and to
his doctrine that everything was made
for man. Let us agree to find Gods
glory in glorious men and women, in
clean. happy homes. And, as for the
progress Of the gospel, let us look for it
in the growth of character among men;
in the progress of truth Justice and good
will; in the love of the pure and beauti-
full; in quickened growth OF all that
makes for full, rich, human life.'
Woodlawn.-Rev L. j. Dinsmore,
acting as State Superintendent, made
Woodawn visit last Sunday and
preached morning and evening. The
parish is in correspondence" and hopes
to soon find a pastor adapted to the
work and their wants.

WISCONSIN NOTES.

Hartford Our church here is pros
pering finely. They have resolved to
hold services once a month for the
present and soon once in two weeks if
it can be done. 1t can be and we look
with confidence for the news that this
step has been taken. Mrs. Nellie Mann
Opdale is their regular pastor. Mrs.
Opdale also breaches at Mukwonago
once month. She has developed into
most excellent pastor and is great help
to the State Secretary.
MUKwoNAGo.-Mrs Willis and Mrs.
Opdale are taking good care of this
faithful parish. The Sundays upon
which they have no pastor they conduct
lay services. Too much can not be said
in praise of this faithful parish and only
prosperity can attend them.
NEENAH AND MENAsHA.-The hearts
of the Universalists of this State will
rejoice to know that this parish is push
ing nobly to the front. Services every
Sunday and fine Sunday school is es-
tablished. They have now given call
to Rev. Charles Wells. Of Tufts College,
to assume charge of their parish upon
the completion of his course in June.
Mr.. Wells is accredited with being one
of the brightest men Tufts has gradual
ed and we ardently hope he will accept
the call.
MONROE. from the pastor, Rev.
G. A. Varney, is freigbted with the best
of news. THE church is prospecting be-
yond our most ardent hopes. We have
a Sunday-school of log members" This
seems like revival indeed.
WHITEwATER.-The Secretary recent
ly visited this people and preached to
them on a week night. The pastors Rev.
F. w. Millar is full of energy and bust
ness. The people are in earnest. They
feel sad however just at this time as Mr..
has resigned his pasterate with them.
But they intend going right ahead. And
this fall will find them with new pas
tor pushing on to victory.
ELKHoRN.-Rev. F. w. Millar has fol-
lowed up the work of the Secretary at
this point and now we trust things are
in shape for new pastor. Elkhorn is
beautiful city; we have some grand
people there and church that is in fine
condition for the work. May nothing
stand between them and the Joy of
regular and continuous services in our
faith.
CoLUMBUs.-The work at Columbus
goes on as always, consecutively and
tremendously. This is one of our staid
parishes that we can always depend
upon. And Bro. and Sister Ralph are
pastors whose energy never flags. Would
that we had more such efficient helpers.
LoDI-Rev. II. Slade has left this
parish in good condition. Some young
man now will step into this little burg
and fine work will be done. We hope
that they will not allow many weeks to
pass before they have decided upon a
pastor. Perhaps pastor is already en-
gagged; we hear rumor to that effect.
OUR STATE CONVENTION.
We are looking forward with more
than usual interest to the coming State
Convention. We believe that il will be
the largest ever held in this State and
the best. Certainly it is to crown
year Of splendid work in the State. The
Secretary is going to be able to say that
we have not a dormant parish in the
State. We have several dead ones but
no dormant ones. The Convention is to
be at Oshkosh. June 10, IL. II and Is.

GA. R. Cheap Railroad Excursion.

{ G, A. R. Cheap Railroad Excursion,
 The wisdom of the national commit. tee in selecting 8 city so centrally To- cated. easy of access, as Louisville, Ky, for the twenty-ninth annual encam D. ment of the Grand Army of the Repub- lie, Septem Der 11th to 14th, is fully justified, judging from the numerous inquiries received from all parts of the country relative to transportation facili ties, passenger rates. limits of tickets, etc.
 In anticipation of very large atten. dance, the Baltimore & Ohio South. western railway formerly the o. & M. R'y), the leading route to Louisville from the west, north and east, has made preparations to afford visitors every facility, both in the way of low rates and fast trains, handsomely and comfortably equipped, from all it's ter. minal points. Three daily trains St. Louis to Louisville; two trains daily (except Sunday Beardstown and Springfield to Louisville; three daily trains Cincinnati to Louisville; two daily trains Parkersburg to Louisville. Rate via B. & 0. S-W By will not ex. ceed one cent per mile. Tickets will be on sale September Sth to 11th, in- elusive, good returning until October 9th, 1895.
 One of the principal events following the close of the encampment will be the dedication of the Chickamauga Nation al Military Park, Chattanooga, Tenn, to which excursion rate from Louis- vile, Ky, will not be higher than one cent per mile. In addition there will be cheap excursions run from Louis- vile to the various battlefelds in the vicinity. The citizens of Louisville are a unit in their expression of according to their guests a royal entertainment during the encampment.
 Any further particulars desired will be cheerfully furnished on application to A. c. Goodrich, passenger agent of the B. & O. S-W. Ry., Kansas City, Mo-, or to J. M. Chesbrough, general passenger agent, St. Louis Mo.
