Case Given Until October 20.

Yesterday, in pursuance to a call, at
the Board of Trade rooms a meeting
of the creditors of the Worcester Brew

and thence to the latter part of the

Marsh as president and Lawyer Har~
ris as secretary.
The committee proceeded to investi-
gate, and at o'clock the magnitude
Of the undertaking demanded more
time, and they asked for an extension,
which was granted, and a further
meeting was held in the evening. The
committee reported a statement of the
liabilities Of the concern. Liabilities
amounting to 5000 600 are secured by
two mortgages held by Alfred H Waite,

BIG CROWDS.
Hibernians Will Continue
Fair Saturday Night.

The attendance at the festival Of the
Ancient Order of Hibernians in Me-
chanics Hall last evening overshadow-
ed the numbers Of the first night. The
hall was literally packed with people,
and it was with difficulty that space
could be cleared for dancing. The va
rious booths were we'll patronized, and
during the evening those in charge Of
them were kept busy attending to the
wants of the patrons. 1t was Jolly

gled among them, it was evident that
they had chased. away dull care.

him to be the gardener" then we
perceive him to be indeed the master,
and we hail him as such, but are for
oiddden to touch him because he has
not yet assembled to his father" and
then at last, when the trial is over, and
the heights attained, I'VE know that
we have seen the Lord
The only way to get faith into the
head Is to get it through the heart. 1t
Is only when the ambitions and hopes
and aspirations have been crushed
down and crucified, ana have been bur
led and have then been resurrected and
assembled on high, that we really attain
them. DR.. Gonsaulus spoke especially
to those who are in the throes of doubt
and despair, urging them to look up to
the master for their aid. and he had
special exhortation for the young men
of the colleges of the city, naming the
institutions, and eXhorting the students
to the way of life He declared that the
best thing that Christ could do for any
person was to put personal sorrow
into their heart which should make
them at length to see him as he is.
The address Of Rev. DR.. Lewis Of
Pilgrim church when delivering the
charge to the pastor was full Of ex-
cellent suggestions to the minister

especially laid stress on the fact that the
minister should show no mercy to the
public evils of the day, but should be
ever active in combating all that
threatens the welfare OF the city
The right hand OF fellowship was
then extended by Rev. DR.. Merriman
in a few well chosen remarks, full of
regard and esteem for the new pastor.
DR.. Tuttle then outlined the duties
Of the people to the pastor, urging on
him in all good works, recognizing the
fact that he knew more about church
work than they did, as he was a .spe-
cialist in the matter, who had given
his life to its study.
DR. Scott thanked the people for their
kindly words and pronounced benedic-
ton in a particularly impressive man

doing in the west during the long term
OF years he has been engaged there,
and set forth the reasons for leaving
MS chicago charge ana coming TO this
city.
He SAID that within the past two
or three years he has felt the trend of
his 1nclinations turn from the practical
work that he has been so active in,
towards the desire to engage in the
theoretical part Of the minister's du-
ties, the work in the pulpit and the
more analytical and less general study
of theology Not that he did not pro-
pose to fulfill the usual duties of the
minister in pastoral visits and parish
work, but he desired an opportunity to
give more time to the study of theo-
logical questions and to the preaching
of the gospel as it seemed to him.
This desire Is explained by the fact
that he has been during nearly all his
western work engaged In activities like
the care of educational institutions and
the charges of church districts that
have not permitted him the time and
opportunity for pulpit work that he
hopes TO find here.
He considered that in the larger por-
ton of his western work his
preaching had been largely on the side
of the gospel MAYNARD, and not God
ward
Dr. Scott related the facts Of his an
cestry, and salo that his fathers fam
lily came of the old Scotch Covenanter
stock, and that his mothers of a Welsh
family that had furnished elders for
four generations to the church. He de-
clared that he had been brought up in
the olden tenets Of their faith, and
could say that, except in so far as mod

a difference. he han never departed
from those tenets

THE THEAT RE.


An audience which was limited only
by the size Of the theatre, welcomed
1.-THE Geisha" back to Worcester last
night, and the quaint musical comedy
more than repeated its success of last
season. The company is entirely diff
ferent from that which presented the
piece here on its last visit, but it is
every bit as good and in some respects
it is much stronger. The members of
the chorus are not only pretty, but they
can sing the tuneful songs as they
should be sung, and they met with
favor at the very outset.
Minnie Ashley, who enjoys the dis
ttnetion of being one Of the most gen
erously photographed women on the
American stage today, was the Mollie
Seamore Of the piece, and she was a
favorite with the audience. She earned
every cent Of her salary last night, as
the audience demanded a repetition of
all her songs and dSnces. Miss Helen
Royton as o Mimosa San was another
favorite, and her fine singing received
the recognition 1t deserved. Charles
Dandy as WunHi, the keeper Of the
Chinese tea house, furnished the most
OF the fun during the evening and
proved himself to be clever comedian.
The other members of the cast were
equal to every demand that was made
on them, and. altogether, the play was
one of the most enjoyable that have
been given at the theatre so far this
season.

evening. If you want clean, wholesome
fun. see Jones.

THE SERVICE.
Eloquent Periods by the Silver Tongued
Orator From the West

OTdlOt EIOHl tHS NCoh
The preliminary portion of the even
ing service consisted of the reading of
the minutes Of the afternoon session
egby the scribe and the delivery of a
brief salutation on the part of the mod,
orator, DR.. Conrad, who conducted the
Service. The principal interest of the
occasion aside from the actual ser

mon by Dr. Gonsaulus, which was an
extremely eloquent effort on the true
orthodoxy.
The speaker based his remarks on the
three principal words that occur in
the scene where Mary Magdalene first
sees Christ in the garden after his cru
ciflxion and resurrection-sir, master,
Lord. THE account tells how Mary
first greeted Christ as sir, thinking him
to be the gardener, ana desiring to
know where the body of Christ had
been laid. Then when she saw that 1t
was Jesus, she called MIN master"
and lastly of all she went to the dis
ciples and told them that she had seen
the Lord.
Irnop this framework the preacher

aernons. as far as magnetic oratory
and wealth of imaginative exhortation
goes. that has been heard in this city
for very long time. He stated as his
purpose in the sermon that he wished
to make a plea for the preservation Of
orthodox Christianity, but 1t was evil
dent that his idea of this is not the
dog,natical kind of theology that isl
usually understood by the, term.
DR.. Gonsaulus showed that his idea
OF orthodoxy is a belief in the real Cos
pei of Christ, to attain which 1t is nee

pathway. II that be done the true or

The council of the Congregational
churches called together to decide on
the fitness of the new pastor, was
called to order at $50 o'clock by Rev
DR.. A. 2. Conrad of the Old South
Church.
On the motion of DR.. McCullagh of
Plymouth Church, It was voted by the
council that DR.. Conrad should occupy
the position Of permanent chairman,
which he consented to DO.
Rev. E. w. Phillips was elected as
the scribe Of the council after the nom
nation had been refused by Mr.. Geo.
S. Dodge Of Emanuel Church.
Rev. A. 3. P. Perkins invoked the
divine blessing upon the deliberations
of the council, after which the scribe
called the roll, and it was decided by
the moderator that majority OF the
members were present, although there
was large number of absentees,

the society as relating to the matter
were read by Clerk of the Society Ed

between the church and DR.. Scott be-
fore he decided to accept the call.
1t was moved by DIR. Alexander Lewis
that the reading of the statements as
to DR.. Scott's standing in the church
and membership In the ministry be
read Rev. Mr.. Phillips read the let
ter of the church in Chicago Of which
Mr. Scott was the pastor before he
came to Worcester which dismissed
him and Mrs Scott at their own re-
quest, and declared their standing in
the church and also the report Of the
council that dismissed the new pastor
from his charge there.
The latter document referred very
highly to the work that DR.. Scott did
there for college and educational pro-
jects, and mentions the great assist
ance which he has from time to time
rendered to the other churches of the
denomination in the neighborhood of
his own. A letter was presented from
the South Congregational Church Of
Chicago, which was DR.. Scotts last
charge, stating that it regretted that
it would not be represented at the
installation, owing to the sickness OF
the delegate it had appointed.
The council expressed by unanimous
vote its satisfaction with the ereden-
tials presented, and DR.. Scott then

considered to be an unusually good

the denomination is founded. but also
of the newer lines Of thought, toward
which the church is tending.
The preliminary statement Of DR..
Scott was one that did not follow
very closely the usual line of these eff
forts, and was on the whole an eK-

forceful exposition of the belief of the

Chicago, took place.
The services attendant upon the
placing in charge of his flock the new
shepherd of the society, were very i'm

pastors of all the largest churches Of
the denomination in the city and vi

the great auditorium Of the church was
