Young Ministers.
THE PROVIDENCE NEWS BUREAU,
NEW ENGLAND SOUTHERN CONFERENCE ,
Fail hiver. Mass. April ]. ls9l.

The devotional exercises this morning
were led by Rev. W. Ella. At o'clock
the secretary read the journal, which was
approved. The following were ele cted to
elders orders: &. p. Bromley, +. W.
Coleman, j. Greer, Il. 5. Hammond, the
presiding elders and examining commit
tees having reported favorably on their
cases. 1he call of effective elders was
made. The report from the stationed
ministers were interesting TO the audi
ence, especially IN hearing the amounts
raised on the various charges. Those min
listers who had large collections TO report
for missions seemed to speak out In loud
est terms, in answering to their names.
Hazardville, Conn, Rev. l.. M. vinton,
pastor, carries away the palm this year,
having rolled up the biggest collection
taken for missions. While some churches
raised s1169. This charge has the mission
sry spirit. IL is not stronger, either in
mem oership or wealth, than others, but
simply Is more interested for the salvation
OF the world. The audience applauded
when Brother Vinton announced his coll
lection.

who, in his desire to win the hand OF
Maria Dudley, an heiress, informs her or
the report and the danger, advising her
at the same time to withdraw her own
large deposit. She, however, Immediately
informs Norwood, the cashier, OF what
appears TO be plot to wreck the bank,
who, in turn. informs Wartield. He COM
missions Norwood TO go to the bank and
examine the loans and securities so as TO
he prepared for the run on the morrow.
Raymond and Farley, however, have ar
ranged that, on that night, the bank
vault shall be broken into In order that a
burglary may seem to have taken place,
and account for the money Farley has
taken. Farlev is confronted Dy Norwood.
The latter Is finally overpowered and
Farlev succeeds in closing the door OF an
air-tight vault upon him and max ing his
escape, just as Warfeld enters The tire
lock Is on and escape seems hopeless un-
til Wariield discovers the nitro-glycerine
which Farley was to use to make the
affair seem q genuine bank robbery.
Rather than allow Norwood to perish
from suffccation Wsrfield, at great risk 10
himself and the bank, uses The explosive
TO open the vault. With the explosion
the wall crumbles and the ponderous door
falls outward and Norwood Is saved. In
the third act run Is in progress at the
bank and failure seems imminent, which
would involve Warfield's good name and
his fortune. lie pleads in vain with the
depositors for time, but as the doors are
about TO close an express wagon arrives
with money which has been secured
through the agency OF Marcia Dudley. In
the last act justice Is me.ed out to Far
ley, and the various lcve interests OF the
play come TO happy termination. The
cast includes Clarence Handyside, Joseph
wbeeiock, A. :. Lipnan, Thomas A.
Wise, Ben Cotton, John b. Maner, Adolph
jackson, Fanny Mcintyre, Belle Bucklin,
Laura Booth, Marion Erie and auxiliaries
TO the number Of 100.

! The Gay Parisians.

"The Gay Parisians,'' the latest COM
edy success In New York, Boston and
Paris, comes to Providence Opera House
April Is, for one week, including We'd
nesday and Saturday matinees, direct
from New York and Boston, where IL has
been running all the season. The cast will
be the same that was seen 100 nights at
Hoyt's Theater, and the original scenery
win also be presented. w. j. Ferguson,
20 noted as creator OF character parts,
and Miss Odette Tyler, who has not been
on the stage since her engagement TO
Howard Gould, head the list. Others
who assume leading roles and only at
rare intervals are seen outside OF New
York are James Barrows, Mrs. r. j.
Phillips, Josephine Hall and Charles
Wells. The action Of the play is OF the
fast comedy order. The scene is laid in
Paris hotel, and the incidents are
splendidly worked out. Briefly put, the
theme IL the attempt of husband TO be-
fool his wife as TO his evening amuse-
ments, and that has been the pc. theme
of the stage and the story since the he
ginning OF time. W. j. Ferguson Is allot-
Cd the part of the husband, old enough to
know far better, who seeks forbidden
pleasures with his neig hbor's wife, while
his own, a henpecker, has left him se-
curely locked In at home. He is farceur,
of course, but the finish of his work in
farce is such as to lift IL well into the do
main of comedy.

Providence Opera House Attractions.

ALVsiuSuSS OpSia AOuSS htu dSuOuSs
The following strong attractions have
been booked and will appear at the Provi-
dence Opera House before the season
ends: A. NJ. Palmer's company in
s'Trilby," "The Old Homestead" frank
Daniels in "The Wizard of the Nile, I"
the Whitney Opera Company in "Rob
Roy" Henry Irving and Ellen Terry in
their repertoire, Hanion's spectacular
pantomime, "Superba," and the grand
production OF "The Rivals" with an all
star cast.
There are many unique characters in
the "Superba" organization, to appear at
Providence Opera House during the week
of April 20 A great many OF the stage
force having been years with the Hanlons
and considered particularly effective in
stage manager, has been with the Han
Ions now nearly thirty years, and Mr..
FehrmaD, the musical conductor, is fast
becoming an old retainer. They have
much in common with each other. these
two men, and have much to converse
about at rehearsals. They have peculiar
methods of expressing themselves, their
gestures at times when they are wrapped
up In the affairs of the organization being
most amusing. They have peculiar habit
of placing their arms about each other
in the heat OF argument that causes Mr..
Hanlon and the other members of the
company intense amusement, and their
method of conversational aid Is so often
resorted to that it has been .likened unto
q speciality, and they have been christened
Weber and Field behind the footlights.
The illusions and tricks that the HanIo1s
have this year interspersed through "Su-
perbav are wonderful in the extreme.
Nothing that they have hitherto done

of Newport News. The valve has been
placed on the tug Katie and was yes
terday exhibited to 4 number OF local
and other engineers at the Boston
wharf. All these expressed themselves
as highly pleased with the working of
the device.
The principle of the invention is that
when the pressure of steam is on the
main pipe leading to the engine and
any leak or break occurs this auto
matte valve closes the steam off direct
ly at the boiler and the engine is
stopped instantly.
