SHUTS OUT DIVORCES
Canon Proposed by Committee
of the Episcopal Church
Is Radical.
RAPID-FIRE MARITAL CHANGES
Will Not Rs Possible In That Com.
munion if the General Con-
vention Consents.

New York, Nov.15.-When the gen.
eral conference of the Protestant
Episcopal church meets in San Fran
cisco next October three new canons
on the subject of marriage and divorce
will be placed before the body for its
consideration. Should these canons
become the law of the Episcopal
church through the approval of the
general conference. then the Episcopal
church will have pronounced its
anthema against divorce. and more
particularly against the remarryinS of
divorced persons, while both parties to
the divorce are still in life. The sub
ject of marriage and divorce came in
for n good deal of attention at the
hands of the general Episcopal con-
ference OF 1898. So much, in fact, that
n committee of twelve was appointed
for the purpose of taking the matter
under consideration and make such
recommendation to the next confer
ence of that body as would pave the
way for changes in the present tenets
Of the church on these subjects.
Committee Reaches n Decision.
This committee. after having met Il
year ago. when it failed TO reach an
agreement looking toward reform,
again went into session yesterday. The
committee spent the greater portion
of the day wrestling with the problem
before il. At the forenoon session
nothing of n definite nature was ac-
compliShed. In the afternoon the com
mittee resumed work, and as the
members came out at the close of this
session It was announced that the con-
ference of the committee had been adj
5Ourned sinS die and that three canons
dealing with the subject of the con-
ference had been drafted.
Canon That Is Pretty Radical.
The first canon adopted is entitled
"Holy matrimOny and impediments
thereto The second section of this
canon defines the impedimentS of con-

Is somewhat of a surprise.
In speaking of the trouble he had
in securing Chinese actors, Mr.. Blaney
said: ~ was with one of my farce
comedy companies, touring the Pacif-
&c coast, and visited every Chinese
theater to get my people. 1t was a
remarkable experience. There, star
actors are brought from China and
are paid enormous salaries. The same
play was running simultaneously in
several theaters. and when I first
saw it, it had been going for. six
weeks. 1t was the history of a Chi
nese emperor who had been dethroned
and pursued into the country by the
army. After spending several hours
in a theater, l remarked that ;he
music made my head ache. and the
proprietor looked at me with pity i'm
his eyes. This music is a century in
advance of yours he said. In a hun
dred years that will be your music.' "

, whenever he brought Miss Galland to the
fore the applause was rcdoubltd. She es-
tablishcd herself with n bound. Few
women do that the first time they APP
pear before a New York audience. and
when this young woman. who has won
such golden laurels on the road, appeared
at first her fate trcmblcd In the balance.
She tried to hide an excessive nerv-
ousncss of manner under Il sort of over
assertivencss, and those who did not look
under that were inclined to look askancc
upon this manner. But as the stirring
scenes took the actress out of herself.
especially In the third act, she lost her
sense of her own personality and her
nervousness and the audience was con-
quercd.
Leandcr Richardson said in tho
Morning Telegraph:
"The Pride of Jennico'' also served
last night to push along young actress
hitherto not extensively known in New
York She is named Bertha Galland
and in this piece she plays u young prin.
cess who disguiscs herself as her own
maid in waiting and wins the love of the
young master of Jennico. Miss Galland
made a very great hit. In the first act
| she seemed rather artificial and lacking
| i'm real dramatic worth. But as the play
pOSTcSStu, anu tHe part Ill WHICH Snc up'
peared grew more serious, she rapidly
| impoved and became more absorbed IL
/ her task.
Before the evening was over she ,iat
| gained an undisputed triumph. and sh,
| will be very much talked of--and yer,
| favorably talked of.-through the remain
| der of Mr.. Hacketts Criterion theate
| engagement. She is a very pretty littl,
woman, with dimpled cheeks and clo
| Quent eyes. and her few impcrfections;
such as they are, will doubtless be out
| grown.
| Mrs. i. a. Watres, of this city, Mis-.
| Galland's aunt, was one of the Scran
| tonians who saw the performance.
The Commercial Advertiser of las
evening said:
Mr.. Hackctt and Miss Bertha Gallan,
| were vigorously applauded. To criticiz
| them elaborately would be futile 70
| they were acting absurd mclodrama an,
| acting it effectively. No finer shade
| were needed, and the broad effects wer
| successfully struck. Mr.. UackcttS worl
| along these lines Is known. He is dash
ing, quick, vigorous in fierce, handsome
| and plays like this need those qualitic
only. Miss Galland also kept STREET
| within the melodramatic field. Sh
showed some force and intensity, an
