THINGS THEATRICAL.

Although no announcement has been
made as yet concerning the attraction to
be provided for next week at the Lyceum
it is not considered probable that Manager
Herman contemplates closing that profit
able house for even SO short period as
that between Saturday night and the Mon
day on which the Moulin Rogue" Bur-
lesquers open there Business has been
better during the past few days than at
any time within recent months, and the
proprietors are naturally 10th to check the
silver that has been flowing in through
the box Office window. The delay in Civ
ing information regarding the coming bill
merely means that Manager Herman has
been inconvenienced by the general
changing in routes to which directors of
road companies have been submitting him
lately. A combination of worth will un-
doubtedly be secured for the open date and
the patrons of the Lyceum will rot be left
to do without amusement even for the
single week.

MONTENEGRINS TO GREET
THEIR FUTURE QUEEN
Great Preparations Being Made for
the Marriage of Princess Jut-
ia to Prince Danilo

Special Cable to The Call and the New York
Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Cor
don Bennett.
BERLIN, July 22-It is seldom that
a German princess marries outside of
her country and for this reason the
coming wedding of Princess Jutta of
Mecklenburg- -Strelitz to Prince DanilO
of Montenegro is attracting an unsual
amount of attention. Her Highness
has already left for her future king
dom, going first to the little town of
Antivari, where her conversion to the
Greek church viii take place tO-mor-
row. This, it may be said in passing,
is to the great Indignation Of the Kai-
ser, who, as temporal head Of the Luth
eran church, is most indignant at such
apostaSy. When she changes her re-
Iigion the bride also alters her name
from Jutta to Miletca
The marriage is a very romantic one.
AS the little MOntenegrin principality
is very badly off for means of commu-
nfcation the Princess will be required to
ride on horseback from Antivari via
Virpasar and Rjecka to Cettinje. The
other royal guests will, however, take
q more convenient route via CattarO.
All the male population of Montenegro,
armed to the teeth have poured into
the capital to greet the German Prin-
cess and their future Queen.
The Princess witnesses at the mar
riage ceremony, which will be cele-
brated Wednesday, will be the Prince
of Naples and Grand Duke Constan-
tinovitch of Russia.

impossible to secure contributions from

SINCERITY MAY
SAVE INGERSOLL
Such the Opinion OF
Some Ministers.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK. July 22.-Much interest
is aroused by the comment of ministers
on the death of Colonel Ingersol
Rev. DR.. d. J. Stafford of st. Pat
rick's Church, Washington, said: Poor
Bob Ingerson; 1 hope he was honest.
If he was, there is a chance for him.
CIergymen were asked their opinion
Of this view of an agnostic's future, and
some of their replies follow;
Rev. George H. HepwOrth said: The
question you ask me is something like
this: Admitting that Colonel Ingersou
was sincere. and admitting also that
he was in the wrong, can he be saved
How can any sane man answer that
question except in the affirmative? We
Judge a man by his actions, which very
frequently misrepresent the mans
heart. Our judgment therefore is
faulty and often unjust. God judges
a man by the standard of motive, and
therefore a great many people whom
we would damn because we don't know
enough TO save them Will SIT IN a hSh
place in the hereafter. For that mat
ter when we get to heaven we shall
find some there whom we never eX-
pected to see, and we shall not find
others whom we may look for.
Rev. Sidney Herbert Cox, pastor Of
Let
Brooklyn, said: AN honest man has
right to salvation.
Rev. DR.. Henry Abrams, pastor of ST
Agnews Roman Catholic Church, con-
sidered IngersOll a fakir who traded in
his infidelity to make money. Mr.. In
gersoT was an ignorant man., he said.
"He had wit and talent, but he spoke
of subjects which he had not studied
and ridiculed things which he knew
only by half
Rev. Daniel McDermott of ST Mary's
Catholic Church. Philadelphia, said
"Our Lord said of those who crucified
him, they should be forgiven, for they
knew not what they did. The first
thing | would have TO excuse IngersOll
for would be his sins against truth.
God condemns no man who SuppOses
he is in the right, nor do we hold a
| child guilty for the sins of innocent
! ignorance.
Rev. William 3. Bodine, rector of the
| Protestant Episcopal Church of the
Savior. said: Il do not know why an
agnostic if honest in his beliefs. should
not enter the kingdom of heaven
Rev. Charles w. Buckley of the Mari
ners Methodist Episcopal Bethel said:
Il cannot believe that an all merciful
Father will punish his erring children
when they unknowingly disregard his
divinity.
Rev. DR.. William Lyons of the First
Unitarian Church of Brookline. Mass.
said: I'VE must all come to the truth
and IngersoL, no matter what his be-
| lief, has come TO the truth in the life
! hereafter
Rev. A. A. Berle. Congregatfonalist
Boston, said: Ingersoll was a brave,
chivalrous, high-hearted man, resolute
in his championship of what he be-
lieved to be true infinitely more to be
| respected than certain clerical infidels
| VINO d1scred1t both the gospel and Bible
by covert insinuations. Peace to his
ashes"
/ ASBURY PARK, n. j. July 22.-In
reply to question, "'WiIl Ingersoll be
saved if sincere?" Bishop James N
Fitzgerald of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, st. Louis, who is spending fhe
| summer at Ocean Grove. said: There
