Academx of

James A.. Herne and his associate play
ers begin a weeks engagement at the
Academy of Music on Monday evening
next. when they will. again appear in his
beautiful play of American nome life,
Shore Acres" This eo~medy-drama has
become SO familiar to theatre goers gem
orally that it is becoming a difficult mat
ter to pass fresh encomiums upon it. 1t
is one of the few native plays tha& will
bear witnessing a second or third time.
Its lofty and noble sentiments. set in the
homely frame of the lowly New England
farm house, are genuinely wholesome.
and one follows the trials and tribula-
lions of Uncle Nathaniel and Ma Berry
witt u~ntiring interest. Their. is nothing
new in the story Mr.. Herne tells in Shore
Acres but he. tells the old. old story in
quite another way from that chosen by
other dramatists that AVE gone before
him, and the auditor listens to it gladly
because it is stamped with the Hall mark
of verify. It is the truth to life, the truth
to nature that charms in Shore Acres,
and the play will continue attractive until
some other master hand shall play upon
the Aeolian harp that Mr.. Herne has
fashioned in Names piney woods.
To make the daily incidents of a hum
drum existence in a small farming village
interesting to the blaSe patron of a cos
mopolitan theatre is no mean task, Yet
this has been accomplished by Mr.. fIeTne
in Shore Acres" and he has done this
without Introducing any quartette or solo
singers, whistling, dancing or other OK
~aneoa features. AS a character study
the authors NatnanleI Berry Will COM
pare favcrably with any role in the mod
ern drama and Mr.. Herne's Interpretation
of it could hardly be excelled. Ma Berry
is also q delightful creation and nothing
more unique has been seen on the local
stage during the past decade than bashful
Mandy Gates, the little five year old
daughter of the grass widower, Joel
Gates. The love story does not dominate
the play or is it exaggerated or over
drawn. being but one of the many Incl
dents employed in the evolution of the
plot.
Among the players who are to appear
with Mr.. Herne on his occasion are
Messrs. Robert Fischer, James T. Gallo
way. Franklin Garland, Herbert FIans-
butrgh. Charles f. Fisher, Phineas Leach,
James V. Daley, Allen Croliuss Albert r.

The Evangelical Alliance Of the United States
is composed of representatives of various Chris

the interest of their common Christianity. a
very important part OF its work has been the
effort. In conjunction with the Evangelical Alli-
ance in other countries, TO secure full religious
liberty in all lands. A present this influence
is being earnestly exerted in the several coun-
tries OF South America. To the committee in
charge of this work the Rev. Dr. John Hall
has recently written, saying that lit IS of the
utmost Importance. from many points of view,
that the United States Government should EN-
ploy all legitimate means for securing in other
republics the same liberty that is enjoyed in
the United States. Public sentiment on this
subject should be drawn out, for the sake of

The autumn convention of the Western branch
of this alliance will meet next week in Gin

Chicago, who was the chief promoter OF the

pies of India, will be one of the speakers.
Ii is the theory Of church people that great
religious conventions benefit both those who at
tend them and those in whose midst they are
held, 1t is the latter consideration that makes
churchmen in different cities eager to enter

money in the EFFORT OF doing so. Churehmen

were pleasant, some were unpleasant
some were true, some false. Some were
amusing and some duh.
But, until yesterdays Evening jour
mar came out, We never heard anyone ac-
euse him of being a fool. On the con-
trary. Joseph has generally the reputation
Of being a particularly shrewd and wide
awake gentleman.
It appears. however. from the Jour
naps', discoveries, that all his friends
and acquaintance and the public in gen
eral are entirely mistaken. Joseph Is
simple. he is even silly. He goes around
saving things to every blatant crook
which in due time are filtered through the
fake department of the journal ana
printed in yellow to tickle the palates OF
the o,,imbys and Wards of the commun
lily.
It Is plain that there is 4 huge mistake
somewhere Either Joseph has been lie
most successful deceiver who ever I'M
posed On a whole generation of his TEL
low citizens, or else somebody has I'M
posed on the credulity of the bright young
gentlemen from New York who are man

Joseph is an actor beside whom Irving
and Mansfield are puppets, or else the
yellow Journalists hare swallowed the lie
Of q professional criminal and published

Of p~roba bility Characteristic of their tribe.
We incline to think the public Judgment
will accept the latter alternative as the
more probable. The men who have known

decline At this late day 10 accept the
theory that he is a silly babbler. They
will rather incline 10 the belief that the
malignant desire fer. scandal to retail has
made the Journal" swallow the ridicu-
lous narrative published in its columns
yesterday without even regard to its
probability.

PATTERSON, Nov. 13. 1ss7.-Governor Griggs
is the owner of two valuable red settlers that he
invariably takes with him on his hunting trips,
but the dogs may get him into trouble with the
city authorities. An ordinance requires that a
license fee be paid each year, on or before
June 90 for each canine. The Governor has
failed to pay his dog license and the matter
was reported to the police Yesterday.
The Governor will be notified to settle and
if he fails within. a reasonable time will be
summoned before the Recorder. Last year the
Governor was behind in his dog license. When
his attention was called TO it he said he had
overlooked the matter.

will be formally opened by the
United States Minister. 1t is GER
tain, however, that whatever is done

ton" we're plainly and formally ex-
pressed by Minister Willis on the
10Th OF December,
On the 9Th Of November, 1893,
the following editorial appeared in
the Advertiser: "The presentation
by Hon. A. S. Willis of his creden-
tials as Envoy Extraordinary and
Minister Plenipotentiary of the
United States to the Provisional
Government of Hawaii vas an event
which is a forerunner Of the much
desired end to the unres', which has

diplomat from our greatest friend

"Our greatest friend and nearest
