 To the clergy, with whom he has been closely associated, his removal comes home with especial force. not alone because of the devotion which has moved him to lay broad and deep the foundations of church life in his own parish, but because of that catholic-minded spirit which has manifested itself in a large and sympathetic interest in the development of church life in this city. Upon his calm and wise Judgment, his brethren have always greatly relied. All ways consistent churchman. Dr. Lines has sympathized with all that was good Tn the religious movements of our day.
 The trait of character which has chiefly impressed itself upon this community, In connection with Dr. Lines. is spirit Of deep humility, which has always subord1- mated the thought of self to the work of the Master.

Public officials, college lpresidents and professors, judges, law yers,. preachers, ministers, diplomats, writers and business men are included l in the list of descendants. The famous Dwight family of Yale is in direct line l from Edwards daughter, Many. Timo- Ithy Dwight was president of Yale from 1794 to 1877. Theodore Dwight Woolsey held that office from 1S46 to 1871 and Timothy Dwight from 1886 to 1897. From the Edwards family have come | navy.

 The attraction at the Grand Opera House Monday, Tuesday and Wednes- day of next week will be the successful comedy drama, The Ministers Daugh- ters,' which will be presented here for the first time with its wealth of elabo- rate scenic and mechanical effects, and capable company The play has made a pronounced hit all the season. It has pretty story running through it with ma intense heart interest and is brimful of extremely laughable situations. The story is that of two daughters of a wid- ow of a country clergyman, being com pelled to raise enough money to pay the interest on the mortgage of their coun- try home. have secured positions in New York with the hope of saving enough from their scant earnings to save the little home from foreclosure. The adventures in the great city, their trials and tribulations, and finally their triumph over the vi1iainy of those who seek to rob them of their country home make 8 very strong dramatic story. The scenery and mechanical effects, which are said to play no small part in this production, are correct reproduc- tions of noted spots of the great metrop- oils. Matinee Wednesday.

st. Petersburg, June 29.-The revc-
lutionary movement in Russia seems
to be spreading increasingly and is
reaching regions hitherto free from
the radical agitation.
The leaflets directed against the ex-
listing condition Of Russian home af-
fairs and demanding revolutionary
changes were circulated broadcast dur
ing the month OF May in thirty-four
cities and towns of the empire Seri-
Gus street disturbances have occurred
at various places, including Baku, War
saw, Berdichev, Tiflis. Batoum, Bal
akhna and Tomsl,. 1t is said that the
anti-Semtic agitation at Eastertide
extended throughout the entire pale
of the Jewish settlements. The mon
archial society organized at Pinsk cir
culated leaflets beginning:
Brother Workers, Orthodox and
Catholic: Christ has arisen. Let US
embrace, kiss and go kill the Jews
At Rostov, on the Don. it is said. an
officer of gendarmerie has been going
about the bazaar telling the people
that it is the Jews and socialists who
prevent their little father" the czar,
from giving all his children everything
they need, and that, therefore, the
socialists must be killed off.
Swarms of detectives at Rostov are
trying to locate a socialistic printing
office.
A theater demonstration at Kevno
was recently suppressed by detectives,
who scattered the audience and
dubbed those who shouted Down

reached such far off places as Kostrom,
