mittee Favor a $4,000
Structure

A Joint committee Of the directors Of
the Young Mems Christian Association
and the Advisory Committee held a meet
ing last night and discussed the kind OF
building which should be erected and the
best location.
1t was the general opinion that the
bullying should be erected for association
purposes, only giving the young men the
use Of the entire structure. If this plan
is carried out there would be no stores
erected under the building but the dori
mitory space would be increased. The
committee also thinks the structure
should be complete in every detail and
not cost less than Sl50,Ol0.

the subject. The committee is composed
of Federal Judge George Gray, General
Charles Bird. William p. Bancroft VIII

PRESIDING ELDER UPHELD
Many Methodists Believe Or. Now
bray's Action Was Justified.

There appears TO be a sentiment
among the Methodists in Wilmington
to uphold Presiding Elder Mowbray's
action in stopping work on Trinity NJ.
r. Church. at Twenty-second and
Church streets.
The friends Of the presiding elder
feel that he has been misrepresented
by what has beef said concerning his
course. The rules OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church provide that a new
church building shall not be erected un-
less three-fourths Of the money re-
quired is In hand or has been sub
scribed. This was not the case with
Trinity Church, and therefore the pre-
siding elder declined to allow the new
church to be constructed.

"a MESSAGE FROM MARS"
Was Well Received BY Fair House
- Last Might. 'nt

A play OF no inconsiderable merit,
well staged, and handled by a strong
cast was A Message From Mars
at the Grand last night. a
David Proctor, In the leading role,
had lot of difficult Interpretation to
make satisfactory, and that he made
! 1t seem so easy is but browning eyi.
dence of the undoubted genius pos
sessed by this young man. There
was in the entire transition of n dis
position, which the pretty little play
calls on him to delineate, great
chance for somsiESw work, and an
actor of less might easily
have made it N>6Lin fact, one of
considerable ability might have been
excusable II raw places had appeared.
But Proctor's WORK was smoothness
itself, and with the excellent support
of an excellent company, he made a
pronounced success.
The story of the play" opens with
Horace Parker" the leading char
acter, a young man who is the incar-
nation OF selfishness. Near the close
of the first act he falls asleep in his
chair before the fire and dream
comes to him. A messenger from
Mars appears, points out his true
character to him and declares his in.
tention of attempting reformation.
Parker's experiences under the heroic
treatment Of the Marian make the
theme of the second act AT the close
of this act the reformation-or bet
ter, perhaps, transformation of the
young man is accomplished and the
Marian departs from earth. In the
third act the dreamer awakes and
then comes the application of the
new principles as inculcated by the
believer in "otherdom."
Miss Elizabeth Valentine played
Parker's fiancee In an acceptable
manner, and Mr.. Cyril Young, as an
unfortunate inventor who is at first
abused and afterward beneficiary
by Parker's change of heart. made a
good strong piece of work of his part.
Mr.. Henry Hadfield's work as the
Messenger from Mars" was also &C
ceptably done. Miss Isabel Eyre
mont as Aunt Martha" had good
conception of the role and added to
the strength of the cast.
