Return of "The Dairy Farm"

9TH Dairy Farm" which returns to the
Park Theater tomorrow afternoon to I'LL
an engagement of three days, needs little
advance comment. The play was presented
twice daily for an entire week at the same
house only a few weeks ago to enthusiastic
audiences that tested the capacity Of the
theater. The story is one of simple village
life in New York State fifty years ago-in
ante-bellum days. Squire Hurley. owner
OF the dairy farm, is a wel-to-do man OF
kindly heart and open hand, whose one
fault Is Obstinacy. His neighbor, Simon
Krum. hates him for his popularity and his
wealth Nathan Newkirk, a son OF the
squlre's sister, who Is one OF the original
advocates Of wOman's rights, but still n
domestic and lOvable woman, falls in love
with Simon Krum's niece. Lucy, and mar
ries her, despite her uncle's opposition. For
this the squire drives Nathan from home,
and the young man goes out into the world
to battle for his existence, mpan by
his young wife. The anti-slavery move
ment and free-soil question. which were
problems Of the period, are touched upon
III the play. although not too prominently,
as Miss MerrOn'S work is never didact1c.
Simon krum grows rich by secretly return
ing runaway slaves to their masters, while
the squire becomes poor through his mis-
taken generosity. Simon gets his clutches
on the 'squire's home through a mortgage,
but is prevented from fOreclOsing and ruin
Ing the old man by the timely arrival of
Nathan. Simon is afterwards found dead,
and suspicion points towards Nathan as
the murderer, but a slave who has been a
victim OF Krum's treachery confesses 10 the
crime. Papers are OuEd which prove Lucy
TO be heiress of the dead miser. she saves
the 'squire's farm, and the curtain falls on
a scene Of happiness. The production Is
faultless in detail. and, as every one who
saw 1t before knows, the cast is eXcep-

THAT Cornerstone Again.
To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal;

70 tho LuitO VI the 1uuidndpOiiS JOurndl.
Reports calculated to mislead have been
circulated with regard to the incident OF
the inscription on the cornerstone of the
Second Church of Christ (Scientist), New
York city. This was referred to by John
Carroll Lathrop. c. S. b, second reader
CT this church. in his address at the OPEN
ing services on Easter Sunday, and as a
wrong construction was put upon his state
ment it is only fair to allow him to make
correction. The following statement Is
made by Mr.. Lathrop:
six months prior to the date Of laying
the cornerstone the legal title of the church
was the New York Second Church OF Chris,
Scientist, and this name was supposedly
given by the architect to each of the build
ing contractors, including the stone con-
tractor at Concord, N. H. The latter was
ordered to engrave in raised letters the title
OF the church on the face of the granite
stone. 1t had been decided TO lay the cor
nerstone on Easter Sunday, 1899, and three
days before this date the great stone ar
the church received a letter from Mrs.
Eddy, wherein she stated that she had
casually observed in the church notices of
q New York newspaper that the title of the
Second Church appeared to be undenomi-
national, and with the prefix New York
would indicate something different, the
same as Free-will Baptist was different
from Baptist. The board of trustees at
once recognized the force of this sugges-
ton and saw they must take immediate
steps toward changing legally the title.
Without looking at the stone or dreaming
that the inscription could be anything diff
ferent, the trustees decided that In some
manner and by the help of God the stone
could, in the short space of three days, be
taken TO a stone yard, the words New
York successfully removed and the inscrip-
ton made symmetrical and in accord with
the form of the denomination.
THE prayer offered at this moment was
not to the effect that the words New York
might be instantly removed from the gran
lite stone, but that the Almighty would,
under the rule of infinite harmony, i'm some
manner unknown TO the human mind, facil-
ifate the regraVing of the inscription that
the stone might be laid Easter morning.
On rising the next morning we were led to
believe. on looking at a set OF plans, that
the wrong title had been given TO the stone
contractor, and then did we for the first
time examine the stone to find, TO our
amazement, that the contractor nae en-
graved upon the stone not our then legal
name. but the very title which Mrs. Eddy
had the day before Informed us We ought
to adopt. Thus may IL be seen that We
claim no miraculous manifestation In the
instantaneous changing of these granite
letters, although a conspicuous tenet IN
the great Masters teaching was that
Faith, as a grain of mustard seed. will re-
move mountains We merely are encour-
aged in the thought hat the fruits of living
constantly under the supreme law of ON
n~ipotent good are always harmony, health

Great interest is being taken in the con-

Master Thaddeus Rich. at English's opera
House, Saturday night, May 4. Many re-
sponses have been received to the request
for an indication Of preference for one OF
the two programmes printed in last sun

rendered by Mr.. Herberts accomplished
players. If this programme is finally CHOSEN
a slight change will be made in 1t. BY urg-
ent eques Berlioz's 1.-The Roman Carni-
val' will be given in place of Weber 5
Jubilee Overture This will make the
programme even more light in character,
which seems to be in accord with popular
taste. Among the numbers TO be played as
encores will be Mr.. Herbert's own arrange
ment of Ethelbert Nevin's "Narcissus,
which has come more into vogue than
ever since the recent death of the composer.
On the occasion of the orchestra's last visit
TO New York, Andrew Carnegie made the
surprising announcement hat he will send
the entire body of musicians to Europe this
year, an undertaking that will involve a
lavish outlay of money.
Fannie Bloomfield Zeisler. one Of the So
loists with the Pittsburg Orchestra, is a
pianiste OF almost worldwide renown.
When she played in London one of the
publications of the English metropolis said
that she had come 10 london, from New
York, heralded as The Female Pader-
ewski," and, therefore, they had a right to
expect from her not only fire and technique,
but atmosphere and poetry. She possesses
all these" said the paper in question, and
the fact is exhilirating.' One critic referred
to her as "a queen of arabesque."
Thaddeus Rich is known to all music low
ers Of indianapolis as a youthful violin
player of great power and skill. That rep
utation was achieved before he went to
Europe several years ago. Now, however,
IL Is declared there is a genuine surprise
and a rare treat In store for those who
have only memories of his former work as
standards by which to Judge his ability.
Young Rich's graduation with the highest
honors of his class at the famous Leipsic
Conservatory of Music would indicate mar
velous advance in his work.
MIR. Herbert, director of the P~ittsburg
Orchestra, has won distinction as a COM
poser as well as a leader. The list of his
later works includes the Suite Roman
tique," Oh. 81, and the symphonic poem,
Hero and Leander." Op. 33. OF course,
every patron Of light opera knows that the
witching cadences of The Wedding Day"
and THE Fortune Teller belong to Her
bert. Seats for the concert will be placed on
sale at the box office OF English's Opera
House Wednesday morning.
