ALL THEIR OWN SCENERY.
Gay Coney Island Will Use None of
the House Scenery.

"a polite musical farce" is what
the advance notices state ''At Gay Co
ney Island to be, and those who have
seen the production during the past two
seasons recognize this as truthful ad-
vertisement. A mass of bright and
laughabIe features based on the humor-
GUS side of Coney Island have been
brought together without the incorpor-
alton of vulgarity. The production is
given in a scenic inVestiture of so COM
plete a nature that not one line or wing
of the theater's scenic equipment is re-
quired. All the chief points OF interest
familiar to visitors to COney Island are
reproduced with great fidelity, even to
that popular sport which originated at
this place-shooting the chutes. A
massive structure is required to faith
fully adapt this novel feature to stage
uses, but the management has prepared
the entire outfit and four boats occupied
by gayly dressed men and women are
seen in the pastime as though it were
the genuine.
SAT Gay Coney Island will be seen
at the Crawford theater next Saturday
evening. The sale of seats will open
Thursday morning

CHURCH AND STATE
Will Be Divorced in the Spanish
West Indies Now.

Washington, Aug. 2S.-Among those
occupying high Official position with the
Catholic church it is said that the
amalgamation of the Catholic cOmmun-
tiles of Cuba. Porto Rico and other
Spanish colonies, presents no serious
difficulties. The first requisite, it is
pointed out, is to terminate the cor
cOrdat by which Spain and the vatican
Jointly conduct the church adminiStra-
ton of these colonies.
The concordat is a formal agreement,
somewhat like a treaty, by which the
Spanish government and the vatican
carry on relations of mutual advantage.
Under the concOrdat the Spanish gov
eminent names the bishops to be APP
pointed in the Spanish colonies, and
these names, being sent to Rome, are
formally appointed by the pontiff. With
the termination of Spanish sovereignty
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Antilles,
this provision for the Spanish nominal
ton of bishops becomes imperative, and
some system must take its place.
For the present, it is said, the change
will occasion no violent upheaval among
the bishops and clergy of these colonies.
They will be left in their places and the
change of system will be inaugurated
gradually as those now in service drop
off and are succeeded. The new system
will probably be that under which
bishops are chosen in the United States,
there being no state participation, but
Catholic authorities wherein a change
occurs, this choice being referred to
Rome for formal appointment.
1t is understood that the hierarchy of
Porto Rico will at once become attach
ed to the American church, but there is
some question as to the status of the
church in Cuba owing to the doubt as
to the exact form of the SiVil admins
tration of the island. While not annex
ed to the United States, the church in
Cuba may not be attached to the Amer
lean hierarchy although its adminiStra-
ton is likely to be supervised from
