Classic plays when carefully present

cordial recognition and generous finan-
cial support. That is why Thomas w.
Keene, the eminent tragedian has won
fame and fortune in Shakespearean and

Keene has been the foremost and in

that class of plays in which those la

fame. Mr.. Keene and Charles B, Hon.

eminent actors must be doubly valu-

MRS. DAVIDSON HOPEFUL
She Thinks DR.. Brown Is Showing
His Hand UndeniabIy.

Attorney Walter Gallagher was asked
yesterday if he had any IDEA when the in
formation would be filed against his client,
Mrs. Davidson. He said:
1t must be within the next seven days or not
at all at this time.
The information must be filed within thirty
days of the time the defendant is detained in
custody, and that must be by the 10th OF the
present month.
What is the reason for the delay? Well, I
suppose it is due to the bulk of matter the
stenographer had TO transcribe and prepare
for the prosecution. can see no other reason.
Mrs. Davidson is cheerful under her restraint
and says she is confident the public can see
that DR.. Brown is showing his hand more and
more every day. AS the case continues, it be-
comes more apparent TO her, as 1T has to 9TH
ers, that her arrest and incarceration are not the
result OF DR.. Browns wish or intent. He was
forced into the position he now occupies,

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The Minutes Of the Bay Association
Not Fully Understood by
the Members.

There seems to be considerable doubt as
to what the future action of the Bay Asso-
citation committee appointed to investi-
gate the charges against DR.. Brown will
be. It cannot adjourn before April 13,
when the association holds its next meet
ing. In the meantime they have the au-
thority to resume the investigation at any
time they see proper.
The right of the committee to investi-
gate DR.. Brown is mooted question with
DIR, Pond. That gentleman declares that
the minutes, as prepared by Rev. Mr..
Tubbs, are entirely incorrect. He does not
accuse him of falsifying the records, but
he does say that Mr.. Tubbs has a very
mistaken idea of what actually trans
plred. DIR. Pond, however, does not ven-
ture an opinion as to what the accused
pastor really intended when he appeared
before the Bay Association.
"Mr. Tubbs is certainly wrong in his
minutes" he said yesterday. "I cannot
for the life of me understand how he could
have made such a mistake. 1t looks very
much as II they were specially prepared
The committee found objections to pro-
ceeding with the investigation and so they
made their report expressing confidence in
the integrity of the pastor and formally
dissolved. There is the whole thing in a
nutshell, and that is all l care to say about
it.
DIR. Williams seems to take different
view of the matter from his brother
members.
There is no question at all but that the
committee had and still has full power to
investigate the charges against DIR. Brown.
The minutes are correct and they certainly
tell their own story. Candidly speaking,
l do not anticipate any further action BY
the Bay Association committee. No meet
ings have been or will be held until after
the prayer meeting Wednesday night and
not then unless the charges resting against
Mrs. Stockton should be pressed to an
issue. If that should be DONE then in all
probability the committee will be forced
to take some.action. !, for one, however,
will make no move in that direction
"Is it true, DR.. Williams, that when the
committee asked DR.. Brown to produce the
evidence of his innocence he fatty re-
fused to do so, and that too without offer
ing any good explanation ?" was asked.
well, that is a question I must posi-
lively refuse to answer" he replied. and
that was as far as he would discuss the
matter.

GREAT CHESS PLAYERS.
A Young American Boy Who EcIipses
Paul MorphY.

aUi
Paul Morphy reigned in the chess world
from 1854 to 1860. He was only IS years of
age when he died, and to those who know
the intensity OF intellectual work required
for championship chess it will not sound
surprising to record that he f1ickered out
with diseased brain. 1t would be strange
If 1t were otherwise. Gray matter becomes
tired as well as muscular tissue But in
his day he was phenomenal. He was the
first man to play chess blindfolded, meet
ing in this darkened contest from six to
eight opponents at one time. One who has
not witnessed this feat cannot appreciate
its marvellous character.
The blindfolded contestant sits far away
from the table OF his antagonist and carry
ing in his mind the positions of every
piece upon the checkered square, meets
move after move, when informed of it
without seeing either piece or table. To
do that he must have photographed upon
his brain every table upon which he is MAX
ing battle. The next man to accomplish
this feat was Zukertort, a German, who
played biindfolded at one time sixteen sep
arate games, and the estimate in which
this feat was held was displayed by the
fact that by special solicitation it was done
in the presence of Queen Victoria; the
Prince OF Wales and all the other memb bers
of the royal house of Great Britain. That
Is now outdone by Pillsbury, the American

THE WEEKLY MEETING.
The Indications Now Point to a
Lively Session Counter
Resolutions


The prayer meeting tomorrow night
promises to be lively IN more ways than
one. If DR.. Brown leads, or attempts to,
there are those who stoutly declare that
they will practically break up the gather
ing.
In spite of the statements of Deacons
Barnard and Dexter that the charges.
against Mrs. Stockton would not be inves-
tigated at that time. the author of the
request DR.. Warren, is equally sure that
they will be promptly and properly inyes-
tigated.
Then there are the resolutions of conf
dence offered by Deacon Barnard at the.
last meeting. That seems to be the rock
upon which the congregation will divide,
flt does at all. A few leaders of the church,
representing they claim over half the men,
bers, will be on hand with set of con-
demnatory resolutions, in which among
other things the demand will be made that
the PASTORS alleged misconduct be SUBJ
iected to thorough and immediate in
vestigation.

down and out. Just think of Mrs. Coop

had 119 III her class, while there were only
sixty-one in the Sunday-school below"
This last statement IS emphatically
denied by both DR.. Brown and the secre-
tary OF the 5unday-school. The latter says
that in Mrs. Cooper,s room there were
eighty or ninety people, while in the SUM-
day-schcol proper there were nearly 200.

MRS; Cooper, though apparently ia
tlgued by her labors at a. meeting from
which she had but just returned, was
Wiling to discuss the sensational condi-
ton OF affairs in the First Congregational
church, and by way of introduction the
resolution to be presented at the church
meeting tomorrow night was made the
subject of conversation.
That this resolution will cause division
IN the church there can be little doubt,
according to Mrs. Cooper.
ut is ambiguous, to say the least" she
said, as she brought forth a copy of the
collection of sentences. in the first
clause it sets forth thatwe withhold judg-
ment, or suspend final opinion, until the
investigation has dispelled or confirmed
suspicion (that being UNDERSTOOD, and in
the next clause explicit confidence is ex-
pressed in the integrity and morality of
the pastor.
''When this resolution is brought be-
fore the church meeting the intelligent
mem pers of the congregation cannot fail
to note the ambiguity. We are called on
to suspend judgment, and yet enunciate
our belief in the pastors uprightness and

the resolution is either the result of most
careless construction Or"
Possibly purpose, Miss Cooper in

1T is sincomprehensible," continued Mrs.
| Cooper, ''and will call for a decided di-
vision"
| The conversation then reverted to the
sensational meeting at which Kisses were
4 mingled with plaudits when Mrs. Cooper
addressed a portion of DR.. Browns con-
gregation, and that lady spoke in the
kindliest terms of Dr. Browns son, who is
said to have started the Missing.

the boy" she said, though he might
have expressed his fiial feelings in a diff

not have felt unkindly toward the lad if
he had come up to me and said, Il hate

dictated. The church is greater than the
