DRY GOODS.

NEW YORK, June 7.-Business is
still very quiet in all departments of
the dry goods market. Some houses
report slight improvement in the
general demand, but no orders of any
volume coming forward. The price
situation is without change. Most
sellers are meeting buyers readily at
current quotations in both staple and
fancy lines of cotton and wooden
goods. Print cloths continue active,
with nothing doing in regulars.

The seamen.s Bethel.

For several years the Board of Man
ayers of the Norfolk Seamen's Friend
Society have been looking for a change
in the location OF the Seamen's Bethel.
and 1t may be said that these twenty
nve men who compose the board are
among the best men in their respective
churcheS and successful business men
During the last days of December.
1879. such a place was found at 327 Main
street, a place where sailors pass going
in almost every direction The board
gladly accepted this location. the old
Bethel on upper Water street having
become unsuitable on account of VA
rious reasons. At the above mentioned
place the chaplain has been holding
service during the present year with
fine success.
Six hundred and nincty-two seamen
were present during the months of Jan
uary and February which is IL large
number considering the number of sail
| ors here.
The Bethel has n reading-room at
tached. which is supplied with the best
literature, and the sailors have q pleas
ant place to spend an evening. They
also dispense bread and coffee. These
rooms are open every evening. In adj
dition there are four regular religious
services each week. which arc well at
tended. Many Bibles. Testaments and
tracts arc distributed. 1t is also open
from to 10 n. m. and from To D.
M. and the chaplain has not found
himself without visitors at all these
hours, and he, as he has found opportu-
nifty. has counseled the errInG, comfort
cd the distressed; wrecked seamcn have
been sent to their homes; the sick and
dying have been ministcred to, and the
dead decently buried
The work among seamen has never
been In so prosperous condition. The

Berlin. March 1.-THE weekly re-
viewer of the Kreuz zeitung, who is a

In high political circles here no sur
prise was felt at Lord Salisbury's reply
TO the kruger-Steyn proposals. 1t is
not beiieved that the war will last much
longer. y leading Foreign Office official
said to-day that there would be no
further talk about intervention.
Ihe papers this evening generally
express sympathy with the fate OF the
Beers, but take it for granted that the
contest will soon he over.
Washington, March 1.-THE answer
of Lord Salisbury to the message from
Presidents Kruger and Steyn, which
was transmitted through our Govern
ment. was received at Il late hour last
night by Secretary Hay. through Mr..
White. our charge ut London. AS AL
ready indicated in the London dis
PotShCo ,tlic answer Is II ucci10tlOn or
the appeal. 1t has been transmit
ted to Adelbert Hay, United States
Consul at Pretoria, who will submit
it to he two Presidents. This marks
the end of the first overtures toward
peace. Tt is believed here. however,
that another effort will soon be made
by the Beers To attain peace. though
recourse may be had to some other
agency than the United States.
The President has decided that 1t is
not proper at this time to make public
the text of the communications which
have passed between Pretoria, London
and Washington relative to peace ne
gotiations. Therefore the Allen reso-
luton, adopted by the Senate calling
for the correspondence, must be unan-
Swered for the present, though there is
reason TO believe the cause for main
tanning secrecy on this point will soon
disappear. 1t is stated, however, that
the press dispatches have indicated the
salient features of the correspondence
with sufficient accuracy, and about the
only omission. SO far as can be learned,
was the failure to develop the fact that
the appeal of the I3oer Government that
the United States Government might
be allowed to intervene was accom-
panied by an earnest expression by the
President of his willingness to do any

The Independent says: There is a
split in the Christian Science body" A
new body has been formed and already
over twenty churches have been or
ganlzed. 1t is alleged that there are
ten thousand Eddy Followers who have
ieft the first church and the number is
Increasing every day.
Inc above. copied from the Independ-
ent OF New York by the Boston Tran
script, will certainly be news to Chris
tan scientists. The members of the
Christian Science Church in Boston,
inc inc Mother Church. officially known as
me First Church of Christ, Scientist,
IN boston, Mass. as well as the mem
berS OF Its branches, will read this item
with surprise. There has been no split
in this church. nor any now body form
ed OF any kind or character whatsoever
from the membership of this church or
its branches.
We wish to say to our newspaper
friends. that SO far from there being
any split among Christian Scientists,
there never was greater unity or activ-
ity within the ranks than at the pres
ent time. New church edifices are be-
ing constructed in many places; new
societies and churches are being almost
daily organized; the church member
ship of the branches is rapidly increas-
ing. and in ratio of the increase Of
membership in the branches is the in
crease -in-the Mother-Gfurch, whose
members are now admitted semi-annu-
ally. At the last semi-annual admis-
sion of members in November. 1899,
there we're nearly thirteen hundred new
members received
The healing work of Christian Science
is going actively on in every city and
town, and almost every village and
hamlet in this country and in many
places in Europe and on the Continent
New reading rooms are being rapidly
tian' Science literature is becoming
greater and greater each day There is
general reaching out for this new
healing truth as discovered and found
ed by the Rev. Mary Baker G.. Ed
dy. and the difference between the
teaching and healing as established by
her, and some others who claim to be
Christian Scientists, but who have
never demonstrated the fact TO the
world that they are such. is becoming
daily better and better known. The
public are no longer cropping in doubt
and uncertainty as to the genuine and
the false. Christian Scientists are as
we'll aware. as are others. that there
are not a few persons claiming to be
Christian Scientists who never were
members OF the Mother Church or of
any Of its branches. and who are,
therefore. not entitled to recognition as
adherentS to the Christian Science
movement. We say this In no spirit
of hostility to others, but simply by
way OF statement OF fact; this fact be-
ing due as we'll to the outside world,
by way of authentic information, as to
Christian Scientists themselves.

thing In his power to bring about the
termination of the war, which he hoped
might be attained. Lord Salisbury's
reply, while firmly declining the re-
quest of the Boer Government con-
Veyed his appreciation of the commend
able sentiments which inspired the
Presidents utterances.
Inasmuch rs there appears to be
some confusion In the public mind re-
speeding the various efforts made by
the Beers TO end the war, II may be
stated that this particular correspond
ence. passing through the State De-
partment, was separate and apart from
the note addressed by Presidents Kru-
ger and Steyn to nearly all the CONT
mental powers believed to be In SYM
pathy with their cause. and was also
distinct from the appeal addressed d.
rectly to Lord Salisbury by the two
Presidents. which. with his Lordshlp's
answer. formed the subject of the COM
munication made yesterday by him to
Parliament.

ACADEMY OF MUSIC.

Miss Ada Rehan includes Lady
Teazle in School for Scandal in her
repertoire. 1t is a part calling for
great personal charm and queenly
presence, to say nothing of power OF
voice and an understanding of all the
delicate shades of pathos and the vi
vacity of comedy. In all these Miss
Rehan more than satisfies her audience.
She is an ideal Lady Teazle. and seems
to fit the par; with such exactness ms
to suggest that Sheridan must have
taken similar model as his heroine
when he wrote the part. The play is
one of the old legitimate comedies, that
seem never 60 wear out, the language is:
fine and the construction of the play
built upon n plot that is old as time.
yet always new and fresh.
Miss Rehan comes TO the Academy
for one night, viz, Monday, March
10th. Lady Teazle is without doubt
one of her best approximations, and
gives great scope for her artistic abili-
ties. The press. both, in England and
America, have so declared wherever
she has been seen. The sale of seats
for the Rehan night will open Friday
morning at O'clock.
