Complete Company Has Arrived and
Began Rehearsals Today.
The Summer Season al the Kentucky
Opens Monday Next With "a Student
Of Japan,
ADMISSION At POPULAR PRICES

Manager James Z. English's COM
pany arrived this morning from New
York and Chicago, and this afternoon
at 2 O'Clock began rehearsals. "a
Student from japan" is the first play
to be presented, and by the close Of the
regular season Friday night the Eng
lish Stock company will be ready for
its first appearance in Paducah, which
will be Monday evening.
Manager English could have secured
no better company for his summer
season. He intends to make The Ken
lucky an up-to-date playhouse during
the hot months, as he made it during
the winter. II will be near at hand,
cool. and the best plays only will he
offered.
Mr.. True s. James will be leading
man and director, and Miss Frances
Gale leading woman
Miss Justina Wayne will be ingenue
and juvenile, Miss Mae Stockton dram
attic soubrctte, Miss Louise Henry sing
ing and dancing soubrette, Mr.. Fran
els Fields heavy and character, Mr.
Andrew Forsytbo heavy, Leo Forrest
singing and dancing comedian, Mr.. L.
A. Griggs juvenile, Alfred Seaton
general man, The Esmernlda Sisters
speciality artists, and The Jobnsons in
illustrated songs.
These people have been ON the road
with the best attractions this season,
and are finished artists. Manager
English has organized his company
with a view TO giving the public q
high class performance at cheap prices,
and at great expense, and he will
doubtless mare q success Of 1t. His
director, Mr.. James, has been seen in
Paducah in "A Royal Prisoner" and
Miss Wayne in Hello Bill" and
theatre goers know what their work
Is. The others are equally as GOOD
as will be seen when the theatre opens
next Monday evening. The prices dur
ing the season will be twenty five
cents to any part Of the house, and
ten cents to the gallery.

OFF TO DALLAS
Delegates Leave Here to Join Meth
odists in Memphis To-day.
General Conference Opens Wednesday
What il Will cd General Interest.

Rev. and Mrs H. B. Johnston and
Mr.. O, W. Morrison left this morning
for Memphis, Tenn, TO join the big
delegation that leaves there tonight
for Dallas, Texas, to attend the four
teenth quadrennial.session Of the Gen
eral Conference of the NJ. L. church,
south, which opens Wednesday and
lasts the month,
In the party will be Bishops J. @.
Granbery, Of Virginia, A. W. Wilson
of Baltimore, II. O. Morrison Of At
lanta, r. X. Hargrove and o.. p. Fitz-
gerald, of Nashville, DIR. X. II. Mahon
of Union City, DIR. W. X. Piner and
Miss Rena Piner, John r. Pepper,
and Miss Mary Pepper OF Memphis,
I. b. King of Browsnville, r.. f. AL
lison Of Bowling Green, Revs. A. j.
Meaders, s. L. Jewell, Drs. James
Atkins, r. II. Whisner and other
prominent Methodists, who 90 as del
egates and visitors to Dallas. Rev.
II. B. Johnston is clerical della
gate, and Mr. O. W. Morrison a lay
delegate from the &emphis confer.
ence, which is quite an honor to
Paduoah Methodism.
The general conference of the
Methodist church meets every four
years, and is the most important
gathering Of the church, as it is the
law making body, and it also elects
the bishops, general officers, ETC., of
the church.
II is probable that two or more bish-
ops will be elected at Dallas this year.
DIR. 4. E. Hess Of the Christian Advo-
cate in Nashville is probable
"bishop timber" Various other mat
tiers will be considered, among them
the publishing house war claim
money, and the deacone IS movement,
but it is not likely there will be any
vital changes, and nothing sensational
is pending. The majority Of the
body are conservative men, and they
will be sufficient to hold in check
some erratic members who are en-
gagged in fighting the best interests of
the church.
