Neil Burgess, in his incompatible
character Of Abigail Prue, with his
horses, COWS and her farmyard acces-
sories, will appear at the Opera House
tonight in THE County Fair" This
is one OF the most important Theatrical
events of THE season. and the manage
ment in making the announcement
feel they have secured an attraction
which will prove one of the most pop
ular events of the year. THE County
Fair" is known TO those who take an
interest in things theatrical as one of
the most successful presentations of
rural New England life ever seen on
the American stage, and even THE Old
Homestead" with its quaint characters,
and scent of new mown hay must
yield the palm to Mr.. Burgess, and his
story so admirably told. "The County
Fair" is a success no matter how you
take it, but with the original Neil
Burgess in tine role Of the quaint, good
humored old maid Abigail Prue. there
is nothing in the line of comedy
drama to equal IT,
"The Parish Priest which plays at
the Opera House tomorrow after
noon and night, win be found by thea
tre-goers a delightful play, where dra-
matte effect Is sacrificed for natural
ness and the heart, not the backbone,
is appealed to by the dramatist 1t
reproduces Pennsylvania life with all
the beauties Of the Wyoming valley
made famous by the poet, John Boyle
O'Reiliy, telling a simple little love
story which creeps out over Uhe foot
lights into the hearts Of the auditors
and the graceful unraye1ing produces
smiles and tears. II is a human story,
a story of home where the glow of the
peaceful fire lights uhe happy faces Of
reunited friends, who at sunset were
separated, as they thought, forever. In
that glow is Father Whalen, who by
arts diplomatic has brought about the
happiness of his frineds. In so doing.
he has unconsciously placed himself
In positions where for a time he is de-
nounced by those he has attempted to
befriend. Comedy and pothos result
from these complications, which devel-
op the pecu,iarities of the characters
who are always interesting. There Is
much that is novel in the development
OF the simple story which glistens with
incidents that are new. One of hte
beautiful scenes Is the making of the
chair by the brothers in act second. II
Is these mere incidents which appeal
to audiences and awaken their enthu-
siasm. AS Father Whalen, Mr.. Sully
has a character which demands from
him more artistic work than any of his
previous successes. He has surprised
the most ardent of his admirers and
scored an individual success lone
and pleasantly to be remembered. Ths
play has made long runs at New York
Boston and Chicago. In the cast will
be f. Stanton Heck, of this city.

Deputy Chase when seen last evening,
dicussed the resolution he had presented
to the House cf Deputies. He said
The accident of age carried with it the ac-
cdent of locality, SO that the presiding Bishop
of the church might be found resident in Flor
ida Oregon, points remote from the center
of church work and activity. 1t is the opinion
OF the men best informed in THIS convention.
with whom I have discussed my resolution.
that the presiding Bishop should not only be
in the height of his bodily powers. but
one whose residence was in a diocese either
centrally located located near the seat of
the churchs greatest point of influence, by
which of course. is understood the East.
This last idea would find expression in the
manner in which nearly all the church looks
upon certain Eastern men the ideal pri-
mates. On the other hand were less active or
aggressive men in these Eastern the eyes
of Western men, like myself. would naturally
turn to section of the country.

the House of Bishops exactly fits the case

the House of Deputies will resume its ses-

Committees were appointed by the
House of Bishops and the House of Depu-
ties to confer on the selection Of the next
place of convention. A resolutions was
presented providing for the election of the
Presiding Bishop for a term of three
years, doing away with the present sys-
TEN of the Senior Bishop by order of con-
secration presiding over the church.
The resolution was referred to a COM
mlttee and will be debated at length when
II Is reported to the house. The House of
BISHOPS held brief morning session, but
nothing of importance was reported as
having been accomplished.
The House of Bishops convened again
In the afternoon and deliberated over sew

ates finished their labors it was decided
to establish two new missionary districts

THE HOUSE AMENDS
THE CONSTITUTION
The amendments to the constitution
Rev. DR.. Egar Of New York presided over
the debate.
DR.. Egar moved that article Of the
constitution be stricken out and that the
following article be inserted in its place:
No person shall be ordered priest OF deacon
until he shall have been examined by the
Bishop and two priests and shall have ex-
hibited such testimonials and other requisites
es the in that case provided may di-
Grated Bishop, or ordered priest or deacon, un-
less at the time, in the presence Of the ordain-
ing Bishop Bishops, he shall subscribe and
make the following declaration:
Il do believe the Holy Scriptures Of the Old
and New Testaments to be the word of God,
and to contain all things necessary to saliva
tion; and do sOlemnly engage to conform to
the doctrine, discipline and worship Of the
Protestant Episcopal church in the United
States of America
No person ordained by a foreign Bishop. or
by Bishop not in communion with this
church. shall be permitted to offciate as a
minister of this church until he shall have
complied with the canon or canons in that
case provided and also shall have subscribed
the aforesaid declaration
A short debate followed on the proposed
amendment which was carried when the
roll was called. Amendment II to the
constitution was then presented by DR..
Egar and adopted by a unanimous vote
The amendment takes the place of article
VI in the constitution and is as follows:
The General Convention may, by canon. es-
tablish court for the trial of Bishops which
shall be composed of Bishops only.
Presbyters and deacons shall be tried by a
court instituted by the convention Of the do
cese or by the ecclesiastical authority Of the
missionary district in which they are canon
ically resident.
The General Convention, in like manner may
establish or may provide for the establishment
of courts of review of the determinations OF
diocesan or other trial courts
The court for the review OF the determination
of the trial court the trial Of a Bishop
shall be composed of Bishops only.
The General Convention. in like manner. may

court OF review on questions of doctrine. faltn
or worship
None hut a Bishop shall pronounce sentence
degradation from the ministry, any Bishop,
presbyter deacon.
A sentence of suspension shall specify on
what terms conditions and at what time
the suspension shall cease.
The principal change provided by the
above amendment is that it creates courts
of appeal and review, similar to the &c
cIesiastical courts of the established
Church of England.
The presentation of article XI as an
of the present article VIII gave rise to
the first prolonged debate of the conven-
tion proceedings.

LIMIT OF AGE rs NOT
GOOD FOR ADVANCEMEN

Such a happy condition Of affairs can only
be accomplished by making the office elective
the constitution, in which 1 have taken sug.
gestions made on every side and put them into
a form that L trust will meet the approba-
tion of a majority of both houses. There are
these who would favor an age limit instead of
annual election, the consensus of opinion
resting at the age of seventy, but a large
number fear that under such a law a presiding
Bishop might be had whose inability to carry
the office would be patent to all save him
self and the church stand still or suffer in
the interim.
To elect every three years, to a few minds,
may take away something from the dignity
of the office. but that it safeguards it is quite
fully agreed.

@ HE introduction of resolution in

by Deputy Chase of Nebraska,

presiding Bishop Of the Episcopal
church, who shall serve for three years,
will undoubtedly cause a prolonged
debate when it is referred back to the
house by the committee on constitution.
Interviews with some of the prominent
churchmen who are attending the con-
vention show that there has been grow
ing impression for some years that
stronger and more inclusive oversight of
church affairs and church discipline
should be had than that which has OBJ
tained through the practice of making the
Bishop longest consecrated the presiding
Bishop of the church.
This, many are of the opinion, leaves too
much to the accident of age and places
the church in danger of having good men
in that exalted position whose advanced
years and delicate health prevented even
their attendance at the General Conven-
tion. to say nothing of the many extra

Some Of the most prominent clerical and
lay deputies delivered speeches for and
against the proposition to allow Bishops
10 exercise a spiritual watch over congre-
cations that may not be in union Wlthsthe
Episcopal church.
The amendment was a section Of one
that distinctly defined the Book Of Com
mon Prayer, the form and manner Of or

ard deacOns and the entire ritual to be
used by the church on all occasions. Some
