discourse of special interest in the pull
3it OF that church last evening Dr.
Munger spoke on the topic, "Haw-
thorne; Notes on the Scarlet Letter"
This great production Of Nathaniel
HaWthorne's was discussed from a lit
e:ary, moral and intellectual point of
view. DIR. Munger characterized the
work as one of the greatest productions
Of its kind and the ability of the au-
thor was highly praised. Hawthorne
clothed his characters with a human
dignity and the story is lifted above
all carnal things. The love of a wo-
man is pictured in all it's fullness. The
problem of forgiveness is the all great
one and the highest idealism is shown
in the confession of Rev. Mr.. Dimisdale
when he met Hester and little Pearl on

each and every page. The broken law

Large Importations Made This Week
by N. Y, N. II. and H. R, r.
The New York, New Haven and Hart
ford Railroad company will evidently
succeed in freeing itself in a measure
from the tolls which are being spun for
the peoples money by the cornerers of
coal in this country
This road will begin the importation
of European coal into this port this
week and it now appears that this i'm
portation will be much more extensive
than was at first supposed, and that in
stead OF 1900 tons only, to arrive in
this city, the entire importa ton will
amount to over $4,000 tons.
The road has ordered in all, in order
to render itself more independent of the
American mine operators and coal spec
ulators who are charging the present
extreme prices Cor coal exactly $500
tons of the fuel, from Scotch and Welsh
mines.
This amount is in addition to that
which has already been received at the
Boston and Providence terminals of this
company from Europe. More many be
imported.
The new importation of coal will be-
gin to arrive this week at New Haven.
Providence and Boston. and the SO, 500
tons will be divided as follows: New

BERNHARDTS NEW PLAY.

Theroigne de Aericourt" will. ac-
cording to present arrangements, be
produced in English in the United
States and Great Britain Americans
may form a correct idea of the pay if
they bear in mind that in TherOigne NJ
Paul Mervieu has accomplished in
prose for Nine. Sarah Bernhard what
IN L'Aiglon" NJ Edmond Rostand did
for her in verse. Theroigne, Gsswoman
OF the people, incarnates the French
revolution, just as rAiglon, the young
prince imperial, incarnates the Napole-
onic legend. Theroigne embodies the
human vitality and intellectual freedom
that occasionally recall the impractical
utopianism of the Russian nihilism OF
our own time She is at the outset
mystical, soft and persuasive, like
graceful goddess of reason or like
youthful Liberty. She soon gets to be
ferocious and bloodthirsty, like the
committee of public safety; and finally
becomes insane, like the Reign of Ter
ror (Was there not something of the
madness of grandeur in the period pre-
ceding that of imperial glory?), and in
the last act Theroigne appears in the
Salpetriere lunatic asylum, surrounded
by ghosts of Robespierre, Danton, Ma
rat and of those who were both leaders
and victims of the revolution.
This superb allegorical conception is
magnificently developed by Nine Sarah
Bernhard in her double capacity of
actress and stage manager. Nine. Sa-
rah Bernhard makes NJ. Paul Her
vieu's idealiZed heroine stand forth as
the living genius of the revolution.
Apart from rAiglon, the only character
in Nine. Sarah Bernhardt's repertory
that resembles Theroigne is that Of
Jeanne dare, which presents the incar-
nation of the French people that during
the first hale of the fifteenth century
threw off the yoke of English invasion.
Jeanne dare" "L'Aiglon" and "The-
roigne" are all ec0nstructions-mOre or
less accurate, but accuracy is Of no i'm
portance from theatrical standpoint
of the most dramatic epochs Of French
history. In all three authors and ac-
tress make string appeals to French
patriotism. As stage manager, Mime.
Sarah Bernhard has mounted the play
with exquisite taste and accuracy and
with lavish eXpense.-Paris Letter in

Curious Practices While the Celebra-
ton is On.
Ramazan has now begun and every
thing is sack says the London Tele-
graph. No business can be done with
Turks whose one idea is to get through
the day as quickly as possible. They
may not eat, drink or smoke from sun
rise to sunset The consequences is
that night is turned into day and day
into night Two hours before sunrise
guns are fired and drums are beaten
through the streets to wake people up,
so that they may have a good feed be-
fore sunrise. Then they try TO sleep as
long as possible. About II o'clock or
later they appear at their offices, very
grumpy, and each holds a string of
heads to while away the time. This
goes on till about 3, when they seem
anxious to get home. When they ar
rive they wash and sit down around
the tables, on which the servants are
laying out crowds of little plates, with
appetizing morsels Of all sorts of foods.
With their eyes fixed on this they wait,
anxiously consulting their watches, till
the guns proclaim that Il O'Clock,
Turkish sunset, has come. Before the
sound of the gun has passed away their
mouths are full. After dinner all sorts
of amusements are INDUCED in, and
more food is partaken Of late at night
During Ramazan the Turkish thoaters
are open all night, and the streets Of
STEAMBOAT are alive with people, while
at other times of the year not a soul
appears after dark in the streets
Ramazan continues till the next full
moon.

THREE REMARKABLE PREACH
ERS.


Perhaps three of the most remarka-
bly, men in the entire country reside
within a radius Of ten miles Of Har-
rods burg, Ky. They are the Rev. Mr..
William May. Methodist minister; the
Rev. David Bruner, a Baptist, and Ell
der w. w. Graham, of the Christian
denomination. These three men of the
gospel are near the ninety-two mile
stone on the road Of time, and are ma
tives Of this county. The Rev. Mr..
May, or Uncle Billy" as he is fami1-
iarly known, has twelve children liv-
ing, more than fifty grandchildren, sew
enteen grandchildren and seven
grandchildren. He has
been engaged in ministerial work for
the last seventy years, and has never
accepted farthing for his services.
During this long career he has married
about three thousand couples. He has
also baptized five thousand converts.
and the number of funeral orations that
he has delivered corresponds exactly
with the number of baptisms.
His fellow worker in the vineyard,
the Rev David Bruner, Is just one day
his junior. He is the father of Brun-
ner's chapel, in the northwestern part
of the county. church of which he was
pastor for sixty years. Like Mr.. May,
he has persistently refused to accept
anything for his services. Three thou
sand couples have been united in mar
riage by him.
The third member of this wonderful
trio resides about seven miles from
town, near Grape Vine church, of which
he was pastor for more than forty
years, and, like his two brother work.
ers, he has declined to acceptasny re-
Enumeration for his labors. Elder Gra-
ham has kept daily diary for the past
forty years, and the pages of this book
settle all disputes and disagreements in
that section of the country and obviate
the cost and worry of lawsuits and
such like as his word is taken as the
law and the gospel in that region.
None of these nonogenarians has been
on board a train, but have always trav-
eled on horseback. They are owners of
profitable farms. They have recently
retired from the ministry.-Chicago
