while a respectable minority accepted
the verdict as true, the great majority
refused to accept the decision. The To-
cal church was we'll on toward disrup-
ton when the trustees secured the res
ignation OF DR.. Edmondson, Dec. lst.
Some of the church members and few
outsiders thought the man had been
wronged and proposed to have church
Of their own. When they came together
in conference on the matter the non
church element was 30 strong that they
refrained from using the word Church"
in the adoption of title; and named the
movement "the Peoples Congregation"
They announced that they recognized
neither creed nor "ism." Services be
gan Dec. 20 in the l. o. o. F. hall. They
have nothing except morning preaching.
DR.. Edmondson announced that he
would preach just as he had in the Pres
byterian church for the last three years,
but Immediately wrote letter to the
secretary OF the District Presbytery
Withdrawing from it's fellowship.
So, as the promoters of the movement
refuse the word church in their title, and
as their preacher is not in fellowship
with any denomination or local church,
it can certainly not be called church.
There is nothing new" about it

been made. The preacher is not new to
he placend his prea;, ahioy is the same
as his followers have listened to for
three years past; much of it is as old as
the Presbyterian Church.
Their music is the ordinary choir
music, with which every one is familiar.
and they follow the old and honored Gus
tom Of passing the contribution box at
every service.
Many have expressed fears that the
movement would draw from our church,
or it's support. at least, because of the
implied "liberality" of the affair. Such
has not been the result so far, and when
the movement ceases (which time has
been estimated to be about the last of
March) we expect to get the few grains
of gold that may be found in the abun-
dant debris.

SERVICE"
Bro. Jones says efforts are being made
to hold Union Prayer meetings during
the Week of Prayer" but it depends
whether or not the officers of the Pres
byterian church will permit their
preacher to participate. He is inclined
to be liberal and to meet the Universal
lists half way.
DR.. H. L. Garfield spent Sunday, De-
cember 81, at Peru. 1t was the conclu-
sion of thirteen years of pastoral SER
vice; but not consecutively. The first
engagement was for nine years for one
service a Sunday. During this time he
gathered a congregation and organized
church at Norwalk. The second en-
gagement was for one year. for half of
the time. He then was employed by the
State Convention, fret as Financial
Agent to raise the Permanent Fund. in
which work he was quite successful;
afterward he was elected State Superin-
tendent, in which position he rendered
efficient service. After retiring from
that position he again took charge of the
Peru church. and has served three years
more, and has been invited to continue,
which he will doubtless do. The Peru
church is one of the most solid and
substantial organizations in the State.
and it has displayed wisdom in having
but few pastoral changes.

PREVIOUS IN HIS DEMANDS.

It was reported that James Ewing,
employed as engineer, fireman and
watchman by the Wilmington Hosiery
Company for 81 a week, asked for a
raise OF wages a day or two ago and
was summarily dismissed.
Inquiry was made at the company's
office, No. 900 Lancaster avenue, and
Manager Il. G.. Chester made the follow
ing statement:
The man James Ewing was taken
in off the streets by us as a laborer to
perform the duties Of night watchman.
He was required to watch the boilers
during the night, also to see that steam
was kept up.
Recently we called him in and in
formed him that, as we were intending
to run all night, we would increase his
wages. He came back however. and
demanded that we give him an increase
at once or he would quit We let him
quit
"He was not an engineer, nor is his
successor. who is now getting the IN
creased pay which Ewing would have
gotten had he remained until we started

VERSATILE CoRsE PAXTON.


Considering the frail chance of per-
manent success upon the stage to-day,
the career Of Corse Payton has been
truly remarkable. From a compare
lively unknown quantity OF a few years
ago, he has fairly bounded TO the emil
nence he now occupies. His success Ia
the result OF toll and devotion to the
profession, combined with the natural
gift Of an artist. Mr.. Payton acts with
sympathy and discretion. and, unlike
any other foOtlight favorite, his man
nerisms do not deteriOrate from the
merit of his acting Mr.. Payton is gift
ed with almost unlimited elOcutiOnary
resources His work is magnetic, and
the play-goer can almost feel the
warmth and feeling that the actor puts
into a part. Mr.. Payton is supported by
that well-known favorite, Miss Eta
Reed, whose work has called forth
some splendid compliments from the
critics the country over. The technical
nicety of her work surpasseds criticism,
and lifts her parts to a charming nat
uralness. She is gentle and human.
She is gifted with sweet sympathy and
polished humor. Above all, she is con-
scientious. Miss Reeds costumes are
especially utduNlAul anu nave hcNh H'
lected without regard to cost. For the
most part they are creations of Worth
but in several instances Miss Reed has
designed her gowns to her idea of his
toric accuracy. The other members OF
the company are artists of ability Mr.
Payton has secured entirely new spe
cial scenery for the season, and every
piece in his repertoire has its owl
mounting. This scenery effectively sets
off the company's productions and en-
ables the astute auditors to appreciate
the work Of the artists before them. In
fact, not a thing is lacking to make Mr.
Payton's performance complete anC
pleasing. The company will play Z

old girl. The woman said pleasantly:

years ago; what are you going to do to-

Burns only answer TO the pointed
question was to brush woman and child
