McVICKER'S THEATRE.
THE Christian is Now Being Presented at
This Popular chicago Theatre.

THIS Popular C01CaSO IuGdGT0.
When Hall Game wrote '"The Chris
TAM as a novel he had little idea of
the dramatic possibilities of his work,
but after repeated offers to dramatize
it had been made he realized that there
was fine play concealed in the story
and he set to work to dig it out. The
result was one of the most sensational
successes Of the last quarter century
and the revival of the play at Nc
Vicker's theatre, Chicago, with Ed
ward Morgan as John Storm has
proved to be the browning event of the
most successful season McVicker's has
had since Jacob Lit became it's man
ager. The house has been crowded to
the doors since the opening of the en-
gagement which is to last some weeks
and all day long there is line of men
and women standing in front of the
box office buying tickets.
The reproduction Of the play which
Lieb1er & Co. are offering to the pub
lie is in all respects equal to the
famous first production and in many it
is superior, fact which has been ac-
know1edged by the critics and COM
mented on N the press of Chicago.
The scenic mbe1ishments are, if pos
sib1e, greatly more beautiful than
those of the former production and
the company is superb in every partic-
u1ar.
Edward Morgan, as the enthusiastic
John Storm, is picture to look upon
and his acting gives him right to the
title of star. His impersonationi is full
of fire and vigor and the climax of the
second act, where he denounces the
men who are trying to buy the church
| to turn it into a music hall he rises to
tremendous point of power. Second
only to Mr.. Morgan is the Horatio
Drake of John Mason. This actor is
perhaps the most accomplished man in
parts like Drake that the stage now
| boasts. AS the man of the world he
has few peers and no superiors. Next
season he is to star under the manage
ment of Mr.. Lift.
Katherine Grey, as Glory Quay1e,
adds another element of strength to
| this admirable cast and the lesser
characters are in excellent hands.

RBINHOLD ESTATE SETTLED.
London Courts Hold That Descendants in
America Have No Claim to Fortune.

The Chancery court of London has
decided that Count Reinho1d Edward
Moore Won Rosen, residing at Stock
holm, as the eldest son of Count Carl
Won Rosen, formerly chamberlain of
the king of Sweden and Norway, and
and his American wife, who was a
Miss Moore, is the real count and
rightfu1 heir to the fortune left by
Mrs. Clara Jessup More, his grand
mother. From statement OF counsel
it appeared that some one in America
represented himself to be Count Rein
hold, asserting that the Stockholm
claimant had been substituted for him
by the Won Rosens. Justice Joyce
found that the American claimants
representations were bogus and fraud
u1ent. The money in dispute amounts
to $500, 900. Mrs. Moore, who was bet
ter known as Mrs. Bloomfield Moore,
financed Kee1y, the Philadelphia in
ventor, who became famous through
the exploitation of a mysterious motor.
A number of the Reinho1d heirs re-
side in this city, but the report of the
decision of the court brings no disap-
pointment to them, as they long ago
gave up hope of ever getting anything
from the great estate.

GIVES THE LAST LECTURE.
DR. 1. G.. Kreial1a Makes Known the Sc
crets of the Truth mowers Sect.

DR.. l. &. kre1alla MAKES KNOWN the Sc
crets of the Truth Knowers' Sect.
The teachings of the 'Truth Know
ers'' are no longer yelled in mystery,
for at the meeting at the Trades and
Labor Council hall last evening DR..
I. G. Khreia11a gave his last lecture in
his course of teachings. The last les
son is the one which in the past has
always been regarded as secret and
in early times the members who were
initiated into these mysteries were
asked to promise not to reveal them.
The lecture was an exceedingly inter
esting one and during the evening DR..
Khreia11a revealed all the story of the
religion, including his Interpretation
of the manifestation of BAHIA Ullahe
There was nothing strange or mystify-
ing and the lecture proved to be only
a plain statement of the creed of the
sect and a few words to show that it
was in accordance with both the old
and new testaments. DR.. Khreialla
supply showed that the Truth Know
ers believe in the bible, but they also
believe that BAHIA U11ah was one of
the prophets of the most high.
The course of lectures have attracted
a great deal of attention during the
last few months and by their aid
quite a number of believers have been
added to the faith.

Since the question of a primary
election law first ca me up in the State
of Wisconsin there have been many
reasonable objections to such law as
would be brought about by the pas
sage of the Stevens bill, or any bill
drawn up on it's plan. No doubt the
objection most deserving considera-
ton is the very rational fear that a
law so drawn up would work for evil
rather than good. The idea is an ex-
pertinent in the State, and to large
extent, all over the United States.
There is no precedent to which to go
for reliable and definite information.
Therefore, those who were and are
skeptica1 of the bill and the law it
stood for expressed their fear and at
the same time their desire for some
Improvement in the present system of
nominating, and endeavored to secure
the passage of bill that would pro-
vide for the experiment in a way that
would test, while it would not expose
the whole State to the evil effects of d
bad law. To this purpose the oppo-
nents of the Stevens bill in the Senate
and House drew up their objections to
the bills and, as no compromise was in
promise, the Senate introduced a bill
that, while it was not a perfect bill,
provided for a test of the scheme by
making it optional with the counties.
Now the Privileges and Elections
committee of the Assembly report a
substitute bill to the lower House
which absolutely ignores all that the
opposition is calling for. 1t still de-
mands an experiment of state proper
portions. 1t demands that the law
shall be law applied to the State, so
far as the Legislature is concerned, to
the counties and to the cities. It does
not make it optional nor provide for
any probation. If the bill passes the
election or vote of the people it is to
be law, for better or worse. 1t may
be a failure, it may be the cause of the
worst kind of ring and machine rule,
but the new bill, as all the others pro-
posed by the friends of the original
bill, demands that the law be made, to
apply to the Legislature, without test,
in absolute ignorance of it's probable
tensions and without evident means
of repeating the law should it prove
vicious.
The fact that it provides for vote
of the people on the desirab i1ity of the
passage of the bill, while it is an i'm
provement in some respects, does not
mend matters much. What is wanted
is some knowledge from which to
draw conclusions before the law is
made. It would be impossible at this
juncture for the people to pass an in
te11igent opinion on the bill, as it is
impossible for the Senators and AS
semb1ymen to satisfactorily meet the
objections raised by the opposition
The law represents a momeutous
change in our election system. I
might be for the better, and it NIGH
be for the worse. It's passage at the
present or an Immediately subsequent
Legislature is not necessary to the
safe. of the State. Much could be
learned by comprehensive bill max
the matter optional in counties and
cities, and the bad results, if any

A young man by the name of George
Phillips, recently elevated to the dig
nifty of Corn King through the exer-
tons of his own gray matter, is now
the principal figure on Exchange. He
is the dictator, and by nod of his
O1ympian head he makes men poor
and rich. In the meanwhile he is
supposed to be accommodating consider
able rainy day material, but the wise
acres are prone to recall one, Joseph
Letter, who likewise had his day on
the Board, and after it was all over
''papa" came home from Europe and
cleared up the ruins of Joey's great
ness. However, if George does not
succeed in engineering his deal
through to success, it is worth some
thing, even for short time, to be the
king, dictator, predominant spirit of
the "pit,' and in after years it will be
pleasant to recall having made the old
sharks of the Board toe the scratch
and unload their pockets at the price
of his making.

THE women of Wisconsin, particu-
larry those residing in the northern
part, in Appleton, Oshkosh, Green
Bay, ETC., very enterprising set of
women, claim that they have solved
the servant problem. They are going
to import a lot of co1ored girls from
the South and employ then1ssssas house
maids in the homes of the State. On
account of the superior advantages
that the plan will give the girls from
the south land in the way of education
as we'll as opportunity to earn wages
such as would make their eyes stand
out, it is supposed the co1ored maids
will jump at the chance.
But the ladies better not contract
themselves to the care of these good
co1ored sisters. The co1ored girls bred
in the South are not as prone to work
as their Northern sisters. They are
extremely liable to prove too strongly
attached to their native home, their
kith and kin, to make fixture in Wis
consin. Besides the climate here is not
exactly to their taste. The attempt
has been made frequently to transfer
some of the excess labor power of the
South to the North, but it has hitherto
petered out. Certain tenacious racial
characteristics, as we'll as birth, breed
ing and environment have been an
insurmountab1e obstacle to the success
of such efforts

would be avoided in the State. Then
why not try the experiment first on
the smallest possible scale that can
give results, and then let the people
vote when they have some means of
information.

A GENTLE JURY.
Splendid Dramatic Production Given at
Guild Thursday Evening.

One of the most delightful enter
tainments ever given at the guild hall
of st. Matthew's Episcopal church was
given last evening when a number of
the members of the church produced
little satire entitled ga Gentle Jury"
The hall was filled long before the cur
tain went up for the little one act farce
and the encomiums heard on
the production are so universal that it
was evidently one of the most success
full productions ever given in the city.
The principal part IN the farce, that
of Cyrus Hackett, sheriff, was taken
by Attorney Henry Hastings in most
pleasing manner. Arrayed in a cos
tune, which must have belonged to
some of his grand parents, he looked
every inch sheriff and he carried out
the role in manner to bring shouts of
laughter from his auditors,
The other principal roles were taken
by Mrs. Meers, Mrs. Rowe and Mrs.
Wakeman. All the roles were we'll
interpreted.
Special mention should be made of
the work of Miss Helen Hastings and
of the wonderful gown worn by her at
the performance. The gown was a
relic of other days, having been worn
by her mother many years ago.
The full cast, all of whom are de-
serving of special mention, follows:

THE organizations of Woman's clubs
ali over the country are not only max
ing the women readers and scholars
and students of governments, econom-
les and finance, but they are giving
the fair sex some high grade training
in the dark and intricate ways of poll
tics and political trickery. What a
pity The women are even learning
how to be bosses and demagogues and
the art of wire pulling and vote get
ting is receiving a few embe1lish-
ments at their hands. If things keep
on the way they are progressing at
the present in the Woman's clubs those
institutions will provide training
school for politicians that, by the time
the women are allowed to vote, will
turn out politicians that will make the
successors of Plat and Croker look
like thirty cents.

After the play was over refreshments
of ice cream and cake we're served, and
the crowd spent an hour in pleasant
social.
In all, the entertainment was one of
the most enjoyable ever given in the
city, and it is to be hoped that the
ladies of the Guild will see fit to repeat
it in the near future.

REJECTED BY DEPUTIES.
They Refuse to Pass Canon on Mar
 riage and Divorce.

San Francisco. Oct. l5.-Tre troublesome question of marriage and divorce was set at rest for another three years today by the action of the House of Deputies oe the Trieninal Episcopal convention in re- jecting both of the proposed canons on the subject which were passed by the House of Bishops. The greatest fight of the convention has been over Section 4 of Canon 36, virtually forbidding tine re- marriage of a divorced person by priest of the church. This had passed the House of Bishops and been adopted by yea and nay vote in committee of the whole of the House of Deputies. Wen the committee rose a devisive vote w 3 taken, not only on the troublesome foui n section, but on the entire canon which was rejected as a whole.
 Canon 37 which provides for the dis. cipling of persons marrying again after being divorced met with similar fate.
 The House of Deputies passed an amendment to Article x of the Constitu- tion permitting modified forms of worship which in spirit is similar to the famous Huntington amendment recently defeat- ed. The Bishops have yet to act before the amendment can become part or the Constitution.
 A general missionary meeting with special reference to the colored people was held at Trinity today.

RATHBoNE's CONSPIRACY.
Tacitly Authohrized Neely's Fraud
 ulent Transactions.

Havana. Oct 1a-The indictments fin the Havana postoffice fraud cases sent yesterday by the fiscal to the audencia implicate Estes c. Rathbone jointly with c. F. W. Nicely and w. H. Reeves in defrauding the government. his complici- ty being based on the contention that he permitted-and therefore consented to and tacitly authorized-the fraudulent trans actions.
 The whole amount of the alleged en- bezzlement on all counts in the indict- ments is estimated at $150,00O. The fiscal has recommended that each of the accus- ed be fined in this amount and also that Rathhone be sentenced to imprisonment for twenty-five years, Nicely for twenty five years and six months and Reeves for twenty-four years and six months.
