A Remarkable Paulist Revival.
From the New York SUM-

F'rom the New York SUM
a remarkable series of mission meet
ings has just been concluded in the Paul
ist Church. at which the attendance at
each service averaged more than 3,000
The parish of the Church of st. Paul the
Apostle contains a population of only
II 900, and yet every night the church
has been crowded. The work has engag-
ed the constant attention of eight priests,
who, in addition to their work lf preach
ing heard more than 1900 confessions
During the first week. which was de-
voted entirely to married women. 900
confessions were heard. In the week de-
voted to single women '3.700 confessions
were heard, and in the third week de-
voted to married men, 3,fe0 confessions
In the last week $500 single men confess
ed. These figures indicate the interest
in these meetings on the part of the
Catholics. and they will compare favor
ably with the figures showing the at
tendance at Mr.. Moody's meetings, al
though the general public has heard
comparatively little about the Paulist
mission.

Life

If youth could know what age knows
without teaching
Hope's instability and loves dear
folly.
The difference between practieing and
preaching
The quiet charm that turks in melan-
choly.
The after bitterness of tasted pleasure.
That temperance of feeling and OF
words
Is health of mind, and the calm fruits
of leisure
Have sweeter taste than feverish
zeal affords,
That reason has joy beyond unreason,
That nothing satisfies the soul like
truth,
That kindness conquers in and out Of
season
If youth could know. why youth
would not be youth.
If age could feel the uncalculating ur-
gence,
The pulse of life that beats in youth
full veins,
And with its swift, resistless ebb and
surgence
Makes light of difficulties, sport of
pains;
Could once, just once, retrace the path
and find it.
That lovely, foolish zeal. so crude, so
young,
Which bids defiance to all laws to bind
il
And flashes in quick eye and limb
and tongue,
Which. counting dross for gold. is rich
in dreaming,
And reckoning moons. as suns, is
never eold
And having naught, has everything in
seeming --,.---
If age could do all this, age were not

a large eight-story brick fire-proof build
ing to be located on the site Of the old

Perry Carson's Case.

Perry Carson is now at large on his
personal recognizance. He is not final
ly at liberty. however. and must wait
until Judge Cole decides the question
if justice of the peace has a right to
commit him for contempt. The argu-
ments in his habeas corpus case of con-
tempt was made yesterday Messrs.
Jeffords and Frisbie for Mr. Carson ar
gued that contempt Is crime, and that
justice of the peace has no jurisdiction
over criminal cases. Messrs Stephens
and Clephane, for Justice Church. ar
gued that the court of justice of the
peace Is Federal as far as contempt
proceedings are concerned, and that the
law is clear that the former has author

CHANGES AT THE. 4THEATERs.
"Tife Rivals"

Farewell night is always a big one
when Sol Smith Russell visits Wash
ington. and tie audience that attended
his performance of Sheridan's immor-
tai comedy, The Rivals, last evening
at the National Thea[er, bad evidently
mastered the adage about welcoming
the coming and speeding the parting
guest Certain it is that hiose fashion,
able enthusiasm has seldom been evok-
ed in Manager RapIeys handsome the
ater Every single person on the pro-
gram came in for share Of approval
and a deal of applause after every exit,
while the star was selected for half
dozen ovations and curtain call that
ended in speech after the second act
Not that every jot of the enthusiasm
was not deserved, for a more evenly
balanced presentation has rarely been
given. Taking each player separately
some slight fault might be found or
some odious comparison made, but as
the work of a troupe, of actors-of a
company = the production was well
nigh perfect. OF course, Sol Smith
Russell was the Bob Acres, and sur
prisingly good one he made. To be
sure, he differed in many respects from
the standard we have formed by seeing
Jefferson in the part, but, after all, Mr..
Russell may as we'll be credited with
establishing a new idea of the role as
Mr. jefferson for an old one, and, there
fore. that is no fault. IL Mr. Russell is
bit more farcial than the general run
of Bob Acres, he grasps the humor of
the character to better advantage, and
one can quite forgive his slight omis-
sions of the emotions Acres is gener-
ally given credit for possessing.
A remarkable impersonation was the
Mrs Malaprop of our old friend, Fan
ny Addison Pitt. In the distinctness
with which she brought out the import
of every line, and the fidelity, at once,
to nature and stage tradition, which
she observed, her performance has
rarely been equaIed. Orrin Johnson
was also pleasing as Capt. Absolute,
the delicious freshness and visor of
his work being highly appreciabe in
such a character. Many of his scenes
were carried with delicate understand
ing. and all of them with rare wit. AL
fred Hudson was capable as Sir An
thony, and more than once moved the
house to show its gratitude for his
cleverness while the Sir LuciuS O'Trig-
ger of William Seymour was courtiy
and dignifed. if trifle crude in places,
land but William Sampson gave the
part of David a broad humor that was
spontaneous. Nanette ComStock was
pleasing in the small role of Lucy.
Margaret Robinson looked the part of
Lydia Languish, and that was, unfor-
tunately. about all that could be said
in her favor She failed to put much
meaning into her words. and the TO-
mantle foolishness of silly Miss Lydia
was so little attended to that her final.
