1t was in tho early days Of the church,
and the singing, Of which the congrega-
ton Is now very proud, was in an embry-
onic condition, owing to the scarcity Of
funds, and not very good. But the church
was struggling to do Its best and its peo-
pie were working hard. The warden was
one Of these, and he had the interest Of
everything very much ut heart. He is
warden now, and he tells this story with
much Of Christian spirit or otherwise,
according to whether or not people believe
in militant Christianity. Anyway, this
is what happened:
81 find your singing very poor, " said q
showily dressed woman to the warden in
pompous tones as she left the church one
morning.
The warden happened to have been the
man who had taken the contribution on
tho aisle on which the showily dressed
woman sat- He knew the amount Of her
contribution.
Don't you think, madam" he said,
THAT we had as good 10 cent concert as
you ever heard in your life?"
"Oh, said the woman. appreciating his
meaning and little abashed, 81 can't
afford to give moro"
"Well," said the warden, 1--WE can't
afford to give any better music. Seattle

expect to find at the camps these days
The privates sleep six In a tent, while the
officers are less crowded and have things
considerably more comfortable. The boys
were In the very best spirits and feel that
they have been called out to play soldier
In real earnest and are doing guard duty
and following the regular routine of camp
life. Few visitors were attracted to the
camp yesterday, as the weather was very
unfavorable. A slight drizzle was COM
Ing down when the troops arrived at Mid.
aletown and the march to tho camp
grounds was through mud four inches
deep. The militia were greeted with quite
IN ovation all along the route and the
people turned out by the hundreds to greet

DEAR AND DIRTY DUBLIN.


n Now Has , lGasis Hali, WIN lGasissss
Fer the Hair Ser.
Dublin may be dear and dirty. II 10
also dramatic and loves gayety. Thus
within the last few weeks II has added
unto itseR new theater and new music
hall, says q writer IN the London Sketch.I
1t is now 10 years since FIRE robbed 1t of its
Theater Royal, which its people regarded,
house in tho three Kingdoms after Drury
Lane, and naturally there was great
rush for seats on Its reopening by Messrs.
Merell and Mouillot All Dublin wanted to
be present, but the theater could accom-
MEDIATE only $500 persons, and 40 there
was plenty of that sort Of disappointment
among the public SO dear to the theatrical
managers heart. The play was 1.-THE
Geisha." The new theater has pleasant
air Of space and elbow room. 1t Is, Of
course, supplied with all the latest me-
ohanical improvements. 1t has a special
largo box for the vioeroy, with private en-
trance, Antoroom and other accommoda-
tions, and splendid saloon and ladies'
drawing room. There 10 no pit in the old
sense, the whole ground floor Il 900 seats)
being arranged OH the American parterre
system, and all bookable at low figure,
an interesting experiment. The manage
ment can do with the stage what Dan
O'Connell said he could do with an act of
parliament-it can drive a coach and
four through 1t, entering at one side from
the street and emerging at the other into
o new carriage way.
And new music hall has arisen in the
shape Of the Empire Palace theater. 1t
has been built on the site Of the old and
popular Star Theater of Varieties In Dame
street, which, however, 1t surpasses In
size, beauty and indeed In almost every
detail. A splendid stage, o proscenium
larger than that Of either the Palace thea
ter or the Empire In London, aocomlnoda-
ton for over l,70O speotators-whioh all
visitors may advisediy DO dubbed, as an
excellent view Of the stage is obtainable
from every seat in the house-capital
acoustic properties, luxurious boxes, stalls
and seats and tout ensemble Of refined
decoration In the Louis Quinze style, In
which ivory, gold and soupcon Of faint
blue predominant, are but a few Of the
permanent attractions that tho new thea
ter offers.
The opening night was a memorable &C.
oasion, and the programme included the
names Of many world renowned artists,
who met with as enthusiastic reception
as the heart of man or woman could de-
sire. The wisdom Of the management in
continuing to provide the public with an
excellent and varied bill Of fare has had
its reward in the packed audiences which
nightly await the lifting Of the curtain.
A mediocre attendance has SO far not been
recorded on the books. A special feature
Is the Saturday matinee, when no smok-
ing ia permitted and when the programme,
at all times of high GLASS; is specially
"Bowdlerized" to please the ladies Of Dub
lin, to whom the music hall had hitherto
been terra inoognita. Now all this is
changed, and ladies Of high degree and
society leaders may DO seen occupying
boxes and stalls at the Empire every Sat-
urday afternoon

The scene of Secret Service" William
Giliette's internationally successful wal
play, which comes to The Opera House next
Saturday night. Is in Richmond while the
distance is heard the booming of cannon,
and occasionally one hears the passing OF
military funeral, or the tramp Of regi-
mont on its way to the front. These form
the unseen background for the quiet home
and mother scenes which tell the story,
Every semblance of clap trap has been
avoided by Gillette in writing this play,
and though the play is thrilling and in
tense to an extreme, these effects are
brought about, not by scenic and welo-
dramatic display, but by purely dramatic
and artistic methods. The cast which
Manager Charles Frohman has provided
has received warm praise elsewhere.

and Addresses.

The Conference Of Charities Philan-

annual Conference in the New Century
Club last night and will continue tie

Warner presided. John s Rossell spoke on
''Civic Duty" Mr.. Warner, In introduce
ing Mr.. Rossell, referred to his efforts as
member Of the Municipal Commission, to
have that body's charter passed.
Mr.. Rossell said among other things,
The population Of our cities is growing
steadily. The country boy finds little on
the farm or in the town to attract him or
to crafty his aspirations. He comes to
the city and makesit his permanent home
The man with family gets along poorly
In his native village and he seeks better
times for himself and bis children in the
cities. Tha problem Of better city govern.
ment, therefore, demands closer study and
more energetic action on the part Of thu
citizen.
1.-The citizen, IL he would do his dnty
and further the great end for which our
something of his time, his energies and
his means to the public good. Disgust
and Indifference will not justify neglect
Of this duty. He must take part in poll
tics. He must turn his face against the
vote-buyer and against the statesman
with legislation for sale He must study
tho public questions which arise from
time to time, and by wise counsel aid in
the creation and extension Of healthy
public sentiment"
N. s. Rosenau, superintendent Of the
New York United Hebrews Society, made
an excellent address on "How Far the
State May Go In Dealing with the Sub
merged" He said he would attempt to
draw the line at where individual respon.
sibility shall be superseded by efforts Of
the state. AS man became civilized be be-
gan to realize he had an obligation to his
fellows, and made 1t necessary for him to
help one who was down little but not
down SO much that he be allowed to per-
ish. Then the State stepped in and pro-
ceeded to assist the submerged type Of hui
mainly. In a general way he held 1t was
the duty Of the state to take care of that
portion Of society beyond reform, com.
posed of idiots. the insane destitute aged
confirmed criminals and individuals
properly and in some instances without .
menance to the community.
