TUT. TUT. MR. EVANS

Charles E. Evans, who will have the
leading role in 1.-THE Shotgun" the new
comic opera by George AIDE and Gustav
Luders, has enjoyed a reputation for
repartee for number of years. During
his entire career Mr.. Evans has had an
aversion for the conceited actor. A
short time ago an actor who has headed
a one night stand company for a few
months approached Mr.. Evans in the
lobby of a New York hotel.
MY dear Evans, 1 am surprised to
see you speaking to members of your
company. i do not think it is dignified
for star to converse with his associ-
ateS in a theatrical company except on
matters of business. Do you always
speak to members of your organiza-
tions?"
Eyes. speak to members of my COM
pany," replied Mr.. Evans droily. But
if had the people in your company ]
would not speak to them either.
think you are quite right"
This ended the conversation.

Jeff NAV Now sIeep soundIy.

At any rate. Jeffries has had all the
satisfaction mortal man could possibly
desire. The yarns circulated to the eff
feet that Munroe had worsted him in
the now historic four round exhibition
go in Butte ranked in his breast. The
statements Munroe made that he had
knocked the champion down caused
Jeffries to grit his teeth and struggle
to suppress his rage. At last, however,
the moment arrived when Jeffries faced
his self lauded rival in the ring and
but why dwell longer on the subject,

Other Denominations Show
Remarkable Gains.

New York. Dec 2G.-Nearly all religious
seCts, as their figures of growth for last
year are announced show a larger PER
centage of increase than in previous years,
and in several denominations the ratio of
growth exceeds the usual ito of increase
in the population This is notably the
case in the Episcopal Church. which last
Year gained per cent on IT'S member
ship OF the previous year. while the pop
u!ation growth is estirn;sed at about per
cent The Episcopal Church has added
25,'i5 TO its membership, making its pres

in membership last year was at the rate
Of 2i2 per cent. the gain in members be

Last years gain was - per cent. The
Southern Prcshvtcrian Church. a much
smaller body than the Northern, having
but 2:s, SIS members, gained per cent last
year.
From advance sheets OF the Methodist
Year Book, published this week, il is
learned that that body also gained more
in membership last year than In the pre-
vious one. The ratio is not so large as In
the other bodies named, bat was 4-5 per
cent. or almost as much as the estimated
ratio Of population growth. For the pre-
vious year the Methodist ratio was only i
per cent. The tcdy has now 1904 735 mem

Mississippi Pavilion May Be
Bought for S5G0.

Any patriotic follower of the lost
cause anxious to possess a replica of
Beauvoir, the Mississippi home of .Jeffer-
son Davis, probably will be able to ac-
quire it for the small sum OF 500. r. IT.
Henry, Executive Commissioner OF the

mend that the State pavilion he sold as
soon as possible and at tine best price
Gbtainable.
The best price offered for the building
50 far is $500 and Mr. Henry does not
believe that a higher bid will be made
Because of their temporary character. al!
of the buildings on the Fair grounds
have been sold for sums ridiculouslv dis
proportionate 10 their cost. and he does
not think that the Mississippi structure
is likely 10 prove an exception.
Early in January meeting of the Mis-
sissipp Exposition Bureau will be held
In Jackson to decide on the disposal of
the exhibits belonging to the State. The
exhibits are to be stored in the old Cap

will decide to form them into perna-
