Rev. Arthur q. Lloyd and Iais Cali 90
Rfchlnoud

The many warm friends of Rev. Ar
1nur 3. Lloyd, rector of st. Luke's p. r.
Church, are very much exercised to lea IN
ma. ne has received call from the
parish OF st, James. Richmond, va. In
recent years he has refused calls to
Louisville and st. Louis. because he is
very much In love with his charge here.
"nich Is very much In love with him.
Mr.. Lioyd's work in Norfolk has been
pnenomenanally successful inball fespects.
Magnificent and beautiful ST. Luke'a
Church VIII stand as an enduring monu-
meht TO him. His influence in his parish
IS wonderful, and his congregation love
him very dearly.
Mr.. Lloyd was seen last evening by
a virginian reporter and interrogated as
to his intentions.
Tell me- MIR. Lloyd. do you intend
TO accept this call?" was asked.
Inc rector was meditatlve Tor a mo-
merit and then his face Frightened. ~
don't know" said he. "hut what's the
use of going away from such good peo-
pie and such a good homeland then the
oysters" and Mr.. Lloyd's eyes twinkled
delightfully."- over his pleasant smile.
Then may tell your friends that you
are thinking very seriously of not lcav-
Ing them?" asked the reporter.
II think you cam" said Mr.. Lloyd,
and the interview terminated.
Mr.. Lloyd's congregation. as may be
imagined, has not been idle. Yesterday
afternoon the ladies of the congregation
met at the Guild house with Miss Neil
son in the chair. at which a resolution
was passed asking their pastor not t.
consider the call he had received, but to
remain with them. His great and fruit
full labors for ST. Luke's Church were
recognized and the resolution expressed
the strong affection with which he was
regarded by the entire congregation.
At $3.50 o'clock last evening u meeting
of st. LulSe's chapter of the Brotherhood
Of st. Andrew was held. About thirty
members were present and they also
unanimously adopted resolutions asking
the rector not to consider call to an
other church. The resolutions also eX-
pressed the high regard in which Rev.
Lloyd Is held. and were of a most fiatter-
ing character.
At S o'clock in the evening the YES
trymen met to consider the same mat
ter and their action was similar to that
Of the two previous meetings.

ADJUSTMENTS.

New National Theater.-Miss Della Fox
appeared last night at the National Theater
in "Fleur-de-Lis," the opera in which she
was seen last January, and she was just az
sprightly and attractive as ever. She can't
sing a little bit, but she makes a bold at
tempt. jeff de Angels and ALT Whelan
furnish the fun in the opera, and they do
their work we'll. The company is a good
one, including Villa Knox, Kate TART, Chas.
]. Campbell, Melville Stewart and Chas.
Dun gan, and the chorus is large and effee-
tive. In fact the best singing is done by
the chorus. The piece is handsomely
mounted.
Academy of Music.-A play that made
people laugh so that they forgot the wea-
Their was warm was that at the Academy
last night. 1t was "a Happy Little Home"
a society comedy with specialties intro
duced. The plot is that of the gay old hus-
bard with a jealous wife, and fondness for
champagne and coryphees, and how to fool
her makes the play. The gay husband was
Harry Hotto, and his wife was Blanche
Chapman. whom we all know. She played
the part in excellent taste, and sang to an
encore or two in the specialties. The center
of the play was George w. Monroe, who is
natural comedian. AS Owen More he
agreed to impersonate Mrs. Magruder, an
Irish lady of spiritualistc leanngs who
was to take the position of housekeeper for
Mrs. Gayfeather blanche Chapman) He
made of Mrs. Magruder a character which
set the .house roaring, but it was not
throughout an artistic piece of work by
any means, as 1t might easily be made, and
as 1t was at times. Mr.. Monroe Is really
funny by nature, and an actor who is that
way has tendency to always overio his
comedy. Another character unusually
handsome and shapely was the premiere
Ganseuse of Miss Dorothy Drew. Nick
Longs Frenchman was we'll done.
Kernan's .Lyceum Theater-The London
Gaiaty Girls made their first appearance
this season at Kernan's last night before
sood-szed audience. The company is con-
sidered better than ever, and the score of
pretty girls who dance and sing are really
the attraction. The performance opens with
a burlesque. entitled "A Reception to King
kokomo," and is quite funny. The girls
appear In force, and the comedians work
hard 10 share the honors with them. Miss
Dot Lathrop proved herself a clever little
soubrette, and George Graham, Wash
tngton boy, won new friends in his mono
losue specially. The F'ergusons contrib
uted an Irish sketch, and the Chapelle
Sisters sang themselves into favor. The
acrebatic tramp. as delineated by Eddie
