The absurdity or credibiiity-the weari-

hands of the cast which presents it, and
of the scene painter who provides its set
tings This being true, nothing can be said
against ]. Duke Murray and Howard Long s
production Of London Life which began
a weeks engagement last night at the
Academy of Music. The piece is a thor
oughly AngliciZed version Of a French
work, lie Camelot," which has been meet
ing with great success abroad. IL tells
conventional story in very effective way,
achieving sometimes by subtle contrasts
and tense assumptions and at others by
broadly sensational but well sustained eli
makes. The comedy relief is less maUdlin
than is usual in such pieces. and the plot
itself more readatla London Life is act

Both do admirable work. Richard Gan

arrangements for the celebration on the

from the several committees. The chair
man of the military committee, Capt. A.
Ackwith, stated that aside from the visit
ing military companies which have been
invited to participate in the celebration, it
was his intention to induce the National
Guard and the High School Cadets to take
part as we'll Capt. Benjamin Young, the
grand marshal, stated that he had COM
municated with many civil clubs and So
cieties, and had received favorable reports
from quite number. The chairman of the
finance committee reported that little had
been done in the way of collecting funds
TO defray the expenses of the celebration,
owing 10 the fact that there were persons
forestaliing their efforts TO collect means
by canyassing the public in the interest

is supposed to be erected at some future

mittee reported also that ii was under

THE BALTIMORE CONFERENCE.
Washington Pastors Who Figure in
the Methodist Proceedings.


The work of the Baltimore conference of
the Methodist Episcopal Church which is
holding sessions at the Caroline Street
Church, in Baltimore, is drawing to a
close, and It is expected that the conference
will adjourn some time tomorrow.
Much interest is now being taken in the
assignment of ministers to the charges
which they will hold for the next five years
Bishop Birdsell, the presiding officer of the
conference, who has charge of the as
Eignment of ministers, stated yesterday
that the announcement of changes will not
be made until the session closes. The
Bishop has heard the recommendations of
signments Of pastors. but is firm in his de-
termination not to announce the changes
until the end of the session, although
much pressure has been brought 10 bear TO
move him from this decision.
1t is understood that Rev. DR.. J. B. Stitt
who for the past five years has been in
charge Of the Dumbarton NJ. E. Church, in
Georgetown, viii exchange places with the
Rev. DR. c. Herbert Richardson, the pas
tor OF Fayette Street Church. in Baltimore.
DR.. Sutt was formerly pastor of this
church
A ripple of surprise was caused by the
reply made by the Rev. A. J. Gill, pastor
of Rvland Church, Washington, TO the
conference treasurer, the Rev. Charles E.
Guthrie when the latter announced that
there were two churches the pastors of
which had failed to turn in their collections
First Church, Woodbury., and Ryland
Church. Washington. The Rev Mr.. Gill
explained that the condition of the weather
recently had delayed the taking of some
of the collections of Ryland Church, and
declared with emphasis that he considered
that the treasurer had treated him with
discourtesy. He stated that he did not con-
slider il fair on the part of the treasurer
TO make bald statements without giving
the facts in the case. The Rev. Mr.. Gill
closed with the statement that he expected
TO hear from the stewards of his church
by letter In the next mail, and promised to
make returns 10 the treasurer as soon as
the letter arrived.
Bishop Godsell at this point took hand
in the matter, and said that he took all
responsibility for the treasurers action,
who he said, had only performed his duty.
The Rev. DR.. Luther NJ. Wilson. Presid-
ing Elder of the Washington district, also
made few remarks on the subject, ex-
planning the delay in returning the collec-
tions Of Ryland Church. In the evening the
anniversary of the Woman's Home Mis-
