PIGS FEET IN CHURCH.
IsidOr WulfsOn to BE Expelled from
the Knesses Israel CONGREGATION.

Isidor Wulfson will be formally expelled
from the congregation Knesses Israel at
a meeting tonight in the church at Eddy
and Merrill streets. Wulfson has been
accused among other things of bringing
into the church two pigs feet and deposit
ing them on the seat of Solomon Trotsky,
who has been recently acting as rabbi in
his office of president of the congregation.
Wulfson has had much trouble with Trot-
sky, it is said, having been engaged in
several law suits with him on account of
his enmity to him, and has recently had
trouble in the church because he could not
tolerate Trotskys utterances as the head
of the congregation.
On Oct IL, the day of Atonement, Wulf-
son went to the church and, finding Trot-
sky in the pulpit, left, and shortly after
ward the pigs feet were found in the seat
recently vacated. Because of this, the
congregation inferred that Wulfson had in
suited the church and the congregation by
his action, and voted to expel him. Wulf-
son, before the report of the expulsion
reached him, filed a resignation and there
fore anticipated the action of the church,
1t is said. To-night's meeting will be held
merely to officially expel Wulfson, who is
accused of being a trouble-maker and a
disagreeable churchmate by the members
of the congregation.
Wulfson is an inspector on the City Board
Of Health, and his contention has been
that the members of the church have
treated him unfairly and his expulsion is
the result of Trotsky's antipathy to him.

writer of '"The Vinegar Buyer" He did
say that he was indebted to James Whit
comb Riley for the suggestion that ne use
the character of Jap Miller. whom Mr..
Riley has described in verse, on the stage.
In that poem Mr.. Riley merely sketched
the character Of Miller as garrulous coun-
try politician. and in Mr.. Kendalls. or Mr.
gestion is followed. Joe Miller, vinegar
buyer. is Mr.. Kendall. monologuist.
Some persons and some newspapers. Mr.
Kendall also asserted in his curtain speech
had expressed resentment that "'rhe Vine
gar Buyer" should be laid at the door of
Indiana, a State-this Mr.. Kendall did not
add-that already has on its threshoid
large unwelcome stack OF rural dramas"
The characters he and his assistants were
engaged in delineating, he said, were as
common 10 any State as Indiana and might
be found within nifty miles of the city Of
New York. In saying this Mr.. Kendall d.d
just what IL was TO his interest not TO do;
he, attributed to the play the intention of
representative neither of Indiana nor any
other State The most active of them are
a saloon keeper in the town of Bascomb $
Corners, strange degenerate whose proto-
type never existed; his son, equally de-
generate and ridiculously villainous; a
young girl who has so little mind that low
ing one man. she negotiates matrimonial
ly with another, the younger degenerate; a
blind woman, very rich, who regains her
sight and is married to Miller. and Miller
himself a shabby, ignorant honest genial
fellow, who is comic because of his mental
deficiency as well as for his jokes, of which
most are familiar from Mr.. KendalPs use
OF them elsewhere.
Such "a complication of persons, if it ex-
listed, would produce the most outlandish
phenomena; that 1T is not representative of
any State or OF any civilization, and that
1T is not significant of any condition, good
or bad, is obvious. But it was presented
seriously, as a dark and portentOus con-
trast TO the fun. II Is certain that Mr..
Kendall cannot continue in this play any
similar to IL, IL he is TO be successful
in the class of theaters for which he mas
deserted the vaudeville stage. 1.-The Vim
egar Buyer" is offense to good taste
and entirely foreign to the purpose of the
stage; IL is silly Misrepresentation of In
diana, whatever may be Mr.. kendalrs in
| tention, and is a contradiction of intelli-
gence. The comment already has been
made that Mr.. Kendall might make himself
| a comedian after the style of the late Mr.,
| Russell. and IL is to be hoped that he i'm
mediately will either get a sensible comedy
to which he can devote his ingenious abil-
ity, or will return to the vaudeville the
| aters. In one of these directions he will
| be forced.
In Mr.. Kendall's company, Marion Abbott

Zig Tag Alley" farce comedy that
began a three days engagement yesterday
at the Park Theater. comprises a lot of
material that has been seen in more pre-
tentions shows OF the same kind in this
city before. The management has done
well, however. in getting together large
chorus. II IL were allowed to sing more
and the comedians to work less the show
would be better. Last night one of the
comedians was put out OF business by
spraining his ankle during the opening act.
This necessitated his using a cane during
the remainder of the performance. His
part was made lighter by Ben Dillon. who
was at all times prominent Dillon: in his
attempts at comedy, made himself tire
some. while Lille Seiger played cleverly
several selections on a cornet.
Ella Shields should not make remarks
to persons in the audience because they
refuse to participate in her act. She sings
well and is probably paid for il. There
is an ordinance in this city against
whistling in theaters. and because Miss
Shields not accompanied by certain
persons in the audience last night she lost
her temper for moment and directed
several remarks at them.
The piece opens in one of the New York
East Side quarters, showing all nationali-
ties. Through efforts on the part of old
and young TO make love complications arise
which are not solved until the close of the
show, when all are forgiven. Within this
complication several good musical numbers
are rendered. Among these is one by An
drew O'Neil i'm singing Because / Love
You So," one by Miss Shields and the cor
net playing by Miss Seiger.

TIN PLATE WORKERS.
They Meet I'm Convention and Con-
slider the Rebate Proposition.

PITTSBURG, Oct. a.-The special con-
vention of the Amalgamated Association
of Iron, Steel and Tin Plate Workers. called
by President Shaffer to consider the rebate
proposition of the American Tin plate Com
pany, opened here to-day. About sixty
five delegates are present, representing
the lodges of all the tin plate plants
throughout the country. The proposition of
the tin plate company is that the men ac-
cept a reduction of 25 per cent. to allow
the manufacturers to fill foreign orders.
The representatives of the American
Tin Plate Company. headed by First Vice
President William y. Leeds. were admit
ted to the convention this afternoon. They
were questioned. and In reply stated that
the amount of timed plate that is imported
and again exported would supply work for
the mills during nearly the entire year,
while at present the productive capacity Is
so large that there is not sale for all that
can be made and interruption to steady
production is the result, with the disad-
vantage to the company that its fixed
charges go on and the depreciation of ma
chinery is costly. while the workmen are
deprived of wage earnings for the period OF
ideness. The officials were detained some
time, and will probably appear before the
convention again. Tomorrow IL is expect
ed that representatives of independent man.
ufacturers will be present to answer any
questions that may be asked.
