Bishop Becker Critically Ill.
Savannah News-24th.O

Right Rev. Bishop Becker is critically
i'll In Atlanta. News OF his illness was
received in Savannah yesterday In a tele-
gram summoning Rev. Father Kelley to
the Bishops bedside. He left for Atlanta
last night, and will probably remain there
until there is some change in the Bishops
condition.
AS the telegram TO Father Kelley was
not very explicit II IS impossible 10 tell
the exact nature OF the Bishops illness,
or whether there is much reason for fear.
1t was requested that Father Kelley come
to Atlanta at once, saying the Bishop
was critically I'll.
A Morning News representative called
at Father Kelley residence test night.
but the vicar-general had already gone
TO the train. Inquiry was made as TO the
Bishops condition. however. and II was
learned he had been confined 10 his bed
since the first OF the week. The attack
seems to have come upon him without a
great deal of warning.
The earnest hope 10 expressed thu. the
facts are Of less serious import than the
telegram implies. AS the Bishop Is strong
and robust, and was in the best OF health
up 10 the time he was taken III. IL is
thought he may be able TO survive any
ordinary attack. He has been in Atlanta
some time looking after the interests OF
a church there.

CTINGOFTHEDREAM
A sUMrTUOUs REVIVAL UNDER THE
AUSPICES OF THE A. T.. ". A.
HAYE A CAPABLE CAST.
Present circumstance Point TO Phe-
nomennI succcss-suggestions as to
N Suitable Method-The Spirit of
shnkexpeare's Marvellous Fancy.

"A Midsummer Nights Dream" which
f. 10 be presented at the Academy OF
Music on the 9th and 2Sth CT January,
upder the auspices Of the Association for
the Preservation OF Virginia Antiquities
will be He of the most elaborate produc-
~tlons-as 1t Is, IN fact. the most ambi-
tious-ever undertaken by local amateurs.
No less than ninety persons will take
part in the play, all of whom are more
or less prominent in the best society
circle. The costumes will be exceedingly
beautiful, and the scenery and other ac-
cessories viii be elaborate TO a degree.
III rehearsals are invariably well at
tended, and each member Of the cast is
working hard TO max the play a success.
The conspicuous elements OF the caste are
ability and beauty, and intelligence. and
with such dement's and with so much en-
thusiasm, the result cannot be called in
question.
The next rehearsal has been called for
Wednesday evening at 6 o'clock, at the
Virginia Historical Society. At that time
Miss Nancy Brooks, Of Stratford-on-
Avon, England. who is directing the re-
hearsals. will be present, having almost
completely recovered from an attack Of
fever.
SUITABLE METHOD OF ACTING.
With reference to the question Of suita-
BILE method in the acting of "a Midsum-
mer Nights Dream" IL may be observed
that too much stress can scarcely be lald
upon the fact that this comedy was con
ceded and written absolutely in the spirit
of a dream. 1t ought not, therefore,, 10
be treated as a rational manifestation Of
orderly design. 1t possesses, indeed, a
coherent snd symmetrical plot and a de-
finite purpose; but while it moves towards
a final result, of absolute order, it pre-
supposes intermediary progress through a
realm OF motley shapes and fantastic
vision. It's persons are creatures of the
fancy, and all effort TO make them
solldly actual, to set them firmly upon
the earth, and TO accept them as realities
Of common life, is labor ill-bestowed. To
body forth the form Of things Is. in this
case, mapifestly a difficult task, and yet
