Grand Opera House. HE A RT OE MI A RYLA ND.


 David Belascos world famous Amer ican play was produced at the Grand Opera house last evening for the first time at popular prices. The theater was tested to capacity by an audience whose interest was held from the rise to the final fall of the curtain. No play of our time has leaped into a more immediate and prolonged series of unbroken successes as this one. It Is in every respect-sentlment char acters story and scenic illustration-a play as perfect as any that has been produced upon the English speaking stage in the past score of years. For six seasons it has been touring the states, and each added season prlflss new triumphs. The cast presenting the play this season Is perfectly adequate and in a number of cases far superior to the company of last year. Helene Wintner. who has succeeded to the role originally played by Mrs Leslie car ter. is to be commended upon giving a performance at once intelligent ana artistic. She is essentially an emo tionaI actress and one of much prom ise. Frank McDonald, B. J. Murphy Ellwood Bostwick, w. B. Murray, Francis Justice Florence Foster, Lois Tabor. who is, by the way, a charm ine ingenue: and Marion Berg were each and all perfectly satisfactory, Herbert Rostwick. who plays the lead ing heavy role, deserves special men ton. It is, next to Miss Winners, the best played part in the piece Heart of Maryland" continues tonight, ana tomorrow afternoon and evening. NO body should miss seeing this play-lt IS well worth the while.

Law of Association.

Paris, July ia letter from Cardi-
nal Getti, prefect of the congregations
of bishops and regulars, to the heads
of the various orders, is published,
which says that the Holy See has de-
liberated upon the question whether the
congregations in France should apply
for authorizations in accordance with
the new law of associations. The Holy
See has decided that. while condemning
all provisions of the law impairing the
rights, prerogatives and legitimate lib
critics of the congregations. neVerthe-
less. in order to avert the very grave
consequences of the extinction of the
congregations in France, which do so
much good. ii will permit unrecognized
institutions to apply for authorizations
under conditions specified in the letter.
Commenting upon this the Courier
du Soir, which reflects official opinion.
says:
"These pontifcal instructions consti-
tute the first victory for the new law.
They imply the submission Of the con-
gregations, while the conditions speci-
fled leave absolutely intact the fixed
rights Of civil society over religious as
sociations.

MORGAN NAMES DIRECTORS.
HE Fills Up the Northern Pacific
board From the Various Interests.

New York, July III. Pierpont Nor
gan, to whom the formerly warning in
terests seeking control of the Northern
Pacific Railroad left the election of di-
rectors to fill vacancies as a result of
the truce effected after the panic of
May 8, to-day made official announce
ment of the directors he had named.
The announcement was made by Mr..
Morgan in formal letter addressed by
him to j. P. Morgan & Co., Kuhn,
Loeb & Co, j. H. Hartman and James
j. Hill. The reference in the letter to
William X. Vanderbilt was not ex-
planned. At the offices of Kuhn, Loeb 4
Co, and j. p. Morgan & Co., it was
said the arrangement indicated in the
letter was mutually satisfactory. Mr..
Morgan's letter is as follows:
Gentlemen: In accordance with the
memorandum signed by you under date
of May 81, 1901, under which the COM
position of the board of directors CT
the Northern Pacific Railroad Com
pany to be elected at the next annual
meeting was left in my hands, l beg
to advise you of my conclusions as fol-
lows:
A Millionaire Board.
II nominate the following gentlemen
as the new members of the board to
fill the vacancies to be created: James
j. Hill, president of the Great North
ern; e. r. Hartman, chairman of the
Executive Committee of the Union Pa
cific; Mr.. William Rockefeller, director
of the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway; Mr.. H. NICK. Twombly, di-
rector of the Chicago and Northwestern
Railway Company; Mr.. Samuel Rea,
vice president of the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company.
Il would suggest that the attention
of the board be called to the advisable
ity of arranging for these gentlemen to
assume their duties as directors of the
company as soon as possible without
awaiting the annual election.
"It is my opinion that a board thus
constituted will contain within itself
the elements best adapted for the
formulation of plan referred to in
said memorandum in connection with
Mr. William K. Vanderbilt nemed
therein as referee.
Every important interest will have
its representative who will be brought
into close touch with the situation as a
whole, and there should be no diff
Guilty in reaching a conclusion that will
be fair and just to all concerned and
tend to the establishment of permanent
harmony among the different lines. To
this end l shall be glad to cooperate
in such manner as will seem desirable.
l am, gentlemen. very truly yours,
