WARM DEBATE At WINONA
DR.. Vandyke Leads Discussion Favor.
ing Adoption of "Book of Prayers"
Temperance Question Also
Comes Up.

Fort Worth. Tex. May 26.-The forty
fifth general assembly of the Southern
Presbyterian church adjourned this even
ing. Moderator Plunkett declared the
convention dissolved at 5:3o. and at the
same time called the next session to
meet at Greenville, S. c.. at Il a. m. on
the third Tuesday in May. 1906
The discussion of the question Of fed
GRAFTON with other branches of the church
was long drawn out, and when the end
came it was as far from a final settle
ment as at any time during the debate
which proceeded the vote. There is an
irrcconciliabe element in the church that
forcefully manifested itself which is op-
posed to federation, and there is an
element slightly stronger that favors 1t,
but neither side could muster the neces-
sary strength to definitely settle the maj
ater. In the end, the question by vote
of 90 to 81 was merely referred back
to its committee to which were added
instructed to bring another plan of fed
GRAFTON before the next assembly.
An amendment offered by DIR. Eugene
Daniel to the federation committees re-
port, disseminating the question of feder-
alton, was lost, and his substitute amend
ment that the general assembly should
declare its inability to accept the plan
of federation outlined by the joint con
ference committee at Pittsburg. Pa, last
January, was also lost.
Vote On Question Was Close.
The vote on the question of union
was a close one -Four ballots were
taken before decision was reached, the
last one being taken by calling the roll,
when the vote stood 80 to 81 in favor Of

ever, was insufficient for final settle

ssThe College Wldow.e

George Ade's comedy of college life The College Wid ow,' which delighted
 New York audiences for eight months last season. and created a furore in Chicago for a third of that period this | season has been secsred by Managers Hirscher Bros. for the Montgomery Theatre Thursday night.
 The play is made up of typical Ade humor and satire. and the lines fairly sparkle with his good natured sallies. The plot is slight, as in fact are all Ade plots. as there is not a past to be concealed or problem to be solved. "The College Widow" is a young woman who
 las won her title by her numerous con-
 quests over students. She is considered
 irresistible, and. of course, takes her
 pick of them, a new one every year.
 So when young Bolton, bound for Bing-
 ham College. a rival institution of
 learning, stops off with his father to
 visit his old friend. the President of
 Atwater College, he readily falls into
 the snare set for him by the widow.
 Boltor is a famous halfback and At-
 water needs him to win the annual
 Thanksgiving game win it's deadly
 rival Bingham. The elder RcIt,n re- turned from Europe in the m%1dle of the game. He learns how his son has been duped and attempts to get him out of the game. His plans are upset by a bunch of students. who kidnap the mill lionaire railroad magnate, and the game goes on, and Bolton kicks the winning goal in the last minute of play. Then Bolton, senior, tells his son what the others all knew. that he had been the victim of a woman's wiles. He Is about to leave Atwater forever, when the widow, who has not escaped heart free in .he transaction. makes q naive confession, so they kiss and father and son go 1oyously into the hotel. where the students are celebrating their vic- tory with supper.
 The scene of the third act pertrays the roar of the grand stand, while the football game is fin progress. The root. CTS with their flags and horns and col lege yells are plainly in sight, but the game takes place off stage. The whole thing Is conducted with such fidelity to nature that it s the most intensely realistic portrayal of a sporting event ever attempted on the stage. Leading critics have pronounced 1t to be the masterpiece of that past-master Of

 thing except genius. She was a
 dramatic singer of superb power and
 skill. When I was seeking artists for

 dersdorf was recommended to me as
 the best exponent of oratorio singing,
 and found her superb artist. She filled my idea of queeniiness.
 The Rudersdorf method in singing IS still in vogue. Twas at her home in
 London, where she lived in splendid style and entertained laVishly. Rich ard was only a boy then, but he was as bright as you find 'em, and it was no surprise to me that he shot out like meteor and dazzled New York when he got the chance.
 His road success was not an easy one, however. One would think that with an artist mother the stage would be thrown open to him, but it was not. Mme. Rudersdorf. who was a Russian. while Richards father was an English man, had no idea of devoting her son to an art, but designed him for mer- cantile pursuits, and, having settled In Boston, put him to work. Business did not fit his ideal and he began dab ping in drawing and painting, and showed so much talent that his mother sent him to Europe to pursue his studies. The stage was his fate, how ever, and he spent more time in the foyer than in the studio, and finally determined to adopt the profession.
 His mother so strongly opposed this new venture that she cut off his al- lowance, and he was adrift in London without anyone to depend upon. He stayed there two or three years, with entree to good society, but with devil ish little in his pocket. He has told me that some days about all he ate was what he got from the spreads at re- captions and parties.
 He got into the company of a pop ular entertainer, but his first appear anee was dire failure. Stage fright and Encouragement got the upper hand of him, and he failed. He was bounced.

Sufferers from insomnia should try cayenne pepper sandwiches. Cut a slice of thin bread-a plain biscuit may be used--butter it generously and add a liberal sprinkling of cayenne pepper. Cover it. over with a thin slice of bread or a biscuit, as the case may be. It is surprising what little inconvenience is experienced. merely a slight smarting sensation in the mouth, which is soon over. The sand wich should be eaten just before re- tiring, and soon after the sufferer will be asleep. The pepepr acts as a stim- ulant to the stomach, drawing the blood from the excited brain and in- ducing a night of refreshing sleep. A cayenne pepper sandwich is much less harmful than drugs and when talk en in small quantities is a good tonic for a weak stomach. Bilious headache has also been known to yield to a cup of hot water to which has been added generous pinch of cayenne pepper and nip of soda as big as pea.
