James M Barrie's principal change In rearranging the novel of 'The Little Minister for the stage is that of making his heroine, Babbie, the daughter instead of the betrothed of Lord Rintoul. This is a vital change,
 
 and enables the crisis to be brought around with more farcial and light some humor than would have been pos sible had he followed closely the origi- nal relationship found in the book. Seats and boxes are now on sale at the box office. There are some choice seats still left.

Of needle than for a married man, be
he ever so inclined, to enter the pre-
cincts of the Vatican as a priest. True
there have been dispensations Ia history
by which a holy man was allowed 10
create an order and found priesthood
OF his own. His work was made harder
and his penances were heavier, but the
church gave him priestly powers. In
Russia there are married priests hnt
scarcely in any other country in the
world.
Zola's friends say tnat his inclina-
ffons have always been toward the priest
hood, and his recent books have shown
that tendency. His library of many
thousand volumes. is more than half sa-
cred; his bric-a-brac which came under
the hammer few years ago, consisted
largely of prayer books OF the earlier
centuries. and these were cherished gar
ments OF priesthood seldom seen outside
the Vatican. and worth their weight IN
precious stones. His friends, TO save
them, ran up the price Of the first article,
a table so high that the desired sum was
realized.
Were Zola 20 obtain such a dispersal
ton, which Catholics say Is doubtful,
and were he to be allowed TO turn church
ward, his feet would have a long rugged
path to tread before he could become one
OF the Amounted. Like every other priest
OF the church. he must begin at the foot
OF the ladder with only his magnificent
education as a foundation upon which 10
stand. For six years he would have 10
attend the college of priests and during
the later part of the course he would
gradually work toward taking the neces-
sary steps in mission life before he would
come TO the priesthood. Even with all
this hard. tedious work the subject would
meet with opposition and Zola's path
would be made very rough.
The trouble is all over the Dreyfus
case, which somehow, will not down; it
has brought out traits in the French
character which have shown Zola how
hollow this world Is, and has exposed fol-
lies and wroengs which he thinks that
as a priest he could the better correct.
Failing this. his friends say he will turn
hermit.

A PRICELESS RELIC.
DR.. E. w. Cooper, of Camden, May
Give to Historical Society of
Delaware, John Wcsley's
Last Letter.

last LCJlcTs
The Historical Society OF Delaware
will soon have added to its collection Of
rare historical material priceless relic
of Methodism IN America. 1t is the lass
letter written by John Wesley, the
founder of Nethodism, and is now in
the possession of DIR. E. W. Cooper OF
Camden, Kent county, the letter having
been written to DR.. Cooper's granduncle
by Wesley.
DR.. Cooper is the brother OF Richard
G. Cooper of New Castle, DEL, who mar
ried one of the three sisters OF DR.. John
J. Black, of New Castle. Senator Gray,
now one of the Peace Commissioners at
Paris, was married in succession to the
other two sisters.
DR.. Cooper's granduncle was that Rev.
Ezekiel Cooper who was the pastor and
close personal friend of Governor Richard
Bassett OF Delaware, and the friend OF
Senator James A. Bayard, who baptized
the late Ambassador Thomas F. Bayard
in the rites of the Methodist Church.
This letter, the last penned by the
hand of the founder of Methodism, and
which bears date of January l, 1871 just
twenty days before Wesley's death,
was written to DR.. Cooper, with general
admonitions and a farewell to the Metho-
dists of America, for in it Wesley says
that death has shaken him by the hand.
DR.. Cooper at the time the letter was re-
cciyed was engaged in pastoral work in
Philadelphia.
His nephew, who afterwards became
presiding elder in the Philadelphia Con.
/ ference, and whose last pastoral charge
in Philadelphia was at Wharton Street
Church, came into possession OF the letter
upon the death of his uncle. 1t was
found by DR.. Cooper among the letters OF
his father, and has been carefully pre-
served ever since.
In part, it has appeared in Southey'.
life of Wesley, but it has never appeared
in print in its entirety. Rev. DR.. Ezekie
Cooper was one of the first of the dis
tinguished Methodist pioneers who, witt
Freebornc Garrison, assisted Asbury il
his work Of building up the Methodist
Church in the United States, and wh'
was present at Barrett's Chapel, Fred
erica and within few miles Of the pre-
sent DR.. Cooper's home, when Coke ant
Asbury met for the first time.
The letter was penncd evidently jus
, before Wesley's fatal illness, as it j
: written in tn. free flowing chirograph,
, 50 characteristic Of the style of the grea
divine. In it Mr.. Wesley entreats hi
; followers in America to avoid factions, t
) always remain united, and declares thf
: it will be his tna! message to his pcopl
} in this country.
. The letter is very well preserved COZ
sidcring that it is nearly los years ole
: DR.. Cooper guards it with jealous cal
n and is loath to see it leave the pcsscssio
:. Of the family.
