A thoroughly good story that is written

A great big bunch of flowers, pretty of

but eventually there is a diseutanglement,

tory. The opera was first presented in
the south in Richmond week ago. The
Dispatch says of 1t: 1.-THE Geisha' was
played before large and fashionable au-
diences, and it met with the most raptu-
rous welcome. 1t is a tneful and beau
tiful production, harmonious throughout,
not alone in sound, but in setting, and it
is but just praise to say that il is the
most effective work of the kind that has
graced the academy stage in seasons. This
could not be otherwise when one considers
that the opera contains all the elements
of success-a pretty plot beautiful music,
catchy songs, admirable choruSes, a
wealth of comedy, and. above all. pretty,
graceful and talented girls and handsome,
clever men. The Geisha' put on by this
company will always be welcome"

his inception of the part some nine years

THEY WE'RE M1RRfED. HOWEVER.
British CIergymen Prevent a We'd
ding in st. Mary AbbOt's Church.

From the New York Sun.
London Nov. PA projected fashion,
able wedding at st. Mary Abbot's church,
Kensington, yesterday was frustrated by
the action of the clerical party in the
Church of England, which constantly and
publicly protests against the renarriage
of divorced persons. In this case the in
tending bridegroom had divorced his first
wife. The prospective bride was Miss Leila
Bayard Crooke, a cousin of MIR. Thomas f.
Bayard. Miss Crooke is minor, and
her fathers consent to her marriage was
attached to the license which was granted
by the Archbishop of Canterbury.
All of the preparations for the marriage
had been made in the church, but at 2:30
o'clock in the afternoon, instead of the
wedding guests. there were present TWEEN
ty glergymen and forty laymen and wo-
men, who had come to protest against the
PROCLAMATION of the church, and soon after
ward a messenger announced that the
wedding had been abandoned.
The vicar of st. Mary Abbot's called the
clergymen into the vestry and thanked
them for coming to protest against the
marriage He himself he said, had refus-
ed to perform the ceremony, but the law
prohibited him from closing the church.
The protesting clergymen and laymen re-
manned in the church for some time, jub-
ilantly discussing, their great victory.
Meanwhile Miss, Crooke and Mr. Lyon
were quietly marked in another church.

The recent death of Rev. George II.
Houghton, the venerable and greatly ad-
mired rector of the Little Church Around
the Corner" In New York, was received
by the people of the thea trical profession
with feelings of profound regret. TO them
DIR. Houghton had particularly endeared
himself long ago. BY his death that story
which brought DR.. Houghton before the
public Is wildly recalled. 1t is so well
known that any theater attache can tell
you all about it. In brief, the story is
that when requested by the committee
having in charge the funeral services over
the remains of the late George Holland,
who died some years ago, called upon Rev.
Sabine the pastor of a church on Madi-
son avenue, in New York city, and re-
quested him to deliver the funeral sermon
he replied: owe do not bury actors from
this church. but / believe there is a little
church around the corner where they do
such things" The dead actor was buried
from the Little Church Around the Cor
ner" and Rev. Houghton conducted the
funeral services. The newspapers got hold
of the story, and columns Of sentimental
stuff were turned out by enterprising space
writers, which to this day is accepted as
gospel truth. Actors and professional peo-
pie lavished their money upon the Church
of the TRANSPORTATION until IL became
known from one end Of the world to the
other under the pseudonym Of the Little
Cnufcn around tne corner. 1t begins,
however, at this date, without meaning to
cast disparagement upon either the mem
Dry of DR.. Houghton or the church, to
look MS If that around-the-corner story IS
not the true narrative of why the dead
actor was not buried from Rev. Sabne's
church on Madison avenue. According TO
reliable authority. Rev. Sabine's reason
for directing the committee to DR. Hough-
tons church was owing to the fact that
a wedding was to take place in his church
on the afternoon of the funeral and ow-
ing to the belief that 1t would hardly be
the proper thing to hold both in the same
edihce, Rev. Sabine politely directed the
gentlemen of the committee to DR.. Hough-
toms little church. 1t Is evident that Rev.
Sabine was misunderstood, and when the
story reached the ears of the space writ
ers, without regard to his feelings, they
went ahead and evolved the generally &C
cepted story OF that affair Rev. Sabine,
being a gentleman, did not mix himself
up In the matter, and as Dr. Houghtou
was ignorant of the entire details the mat
ter stood uncorrected and distorted as il
has been all these years.
