NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, June L. 1t now seems
an assured fact that John r. Rogers,
and Minnie Palmer will be remarked
at an early date, and that at the be-
ginning of next season Minnie Pal
mer will be numbered among the
very prominent American stars, play
ing in the larger cities in an entirely
new version of my Sweetheart -
which in its original form was one of
che most successful American come
dies, and in which Miss Palmer has
been playing in England with unbro-
ken prosperity during the last nine
years. Mr.. Rogers is to sail for Lon
don June is. and the ceremony will
occur very shortly after his arrival.
THAT there is very general faith in
Minnie Palmer's drawing power as a
theatrical attraction, is shown by the
fact, first, that Mr.. Rogers, has re-
ceived several bona fide offers from
moneyed men in the amusement bus
mess for partnership interests in the
undertaking, and, second, that the
atre managers in all sections of the
country have urgently applied to him
to play his star in their houses. The
estrangement between Mr.. and Mrs.
Rogers was brought about chiefly
through the efforts of the wife's rela-
tives, who recognized her as a valua-
bic asset, and aspired to the posses
sion of that part of the profits of her
various tours which naturally fell to
the lot of her husband and manager.
These individuals so poisoned the
mind of the young wife that she was
finally induced to break away from
her marital ties, the husband gener-
ously giving her every worldly thing
he possessed. These relatives are now
dead and gone, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Rogers, who have never really ceased
to hold one another in affectionate re-
gard, have been drifting closer and
closer together for some months, the
reunion having been brought about
through letters from Mrs. Rogers
that was to the sister of her former
husband, The elimination of the life
romance or these two VIII be Observ-
ed with the utmost delight, not alone
by their personal friends, but by the
public at large, inasmuch as it will
serve to re-introduce one of the most
charming and widely favored come
diennes this country has ever projuc-
ed The new my Sweetheart" will
be more highly rural in tone than
the old play of that name. The thread
of the story will not be tempered
with. but the scene is to be changed
and many new dramatic and comedy
incidents will be introduced. The
indefatigible Rogers, whose energy
and skill have been the making Of
many star players, such as the late ].
X. Emmett, Baker and Farren, etc.,
will find himself once more in his
real element in handling the affairs Of
his accomplished little wife.

The roof garden period is upon us,

much against this form of entertain
ment. One Of these establishments,
situated above the New York theater,

the adverse and unreasonable atmos-

the public in wholly rejuvenated

A gentleman enjoying confidential
relations with David Belasco said to
me day or two ago: "The success
of this managers attractions for the
present season is simply astounding.
At the most conservative estimate he
will come up to the end of the regular
term with a net profit of more than
100000. OF course, everybody
knows that David Warfield in "The
Music Master" has broken all sorts
of records everywhere, drawing from
100000 to $4,000 in cities of the
callbre of Washington, ID. c., where
no such thing was ever heard of, and
in no instance falling to obliterate
the high-water mark figures of other
stars. Blanche Bates in "The Girl OF
the Golden West" has been directly
upon the heels OF WarfieId in the
matter Of box Office returns, and at
the home theater Frances Starr in
"The Rose Of the Rancho" has awalI-
ened a degree OF interest that COM
PEELED the management to add Sc
ries of special Thursday matinees in
order to Accommodate the overflow.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
Union Services Last Sunday
Night.

The Endeavor Societies of the
Christian and First Presbyterian
churches held union service at the
latter church last Sunday night,
taking the place of regular evening
services at each church.
The reports of Misses Nuchols and
Startling were the principal features
of the evening, though all the exer-
cises were highly interesting.
The duet by Miss Mary Graeme
and Guy Startling was sweetly rem
dered and highly enjoyable.
Misses Nuckols and Startling at
tended the recent State Convention
at Paris, which they report was one
of the best of recent years. The
work of the different societies in the
state during the past year has been
prosecuted with earnestness, and
the result was highly satisfactory,
The outlook for the new year is most
encouraging.

''OLD CONFEDS"
from Richmond Sun
day Afternoon.
The Next Meeting Will Be
Held in Birming-
ham, Ala.

The Hopkinsville delegation who
attended the confederate reunion
at Richmond, Va, last week, re-
turned home in their special car over
the I. c. last Sunday afternoon.
They make fine report of the
meeting at Richmond. The ques-
ton of disseminating the annual re-
unions was voted on and the decision
was almost unanimous that as long
as half dozen Confederates sur
vive they will meet every year. They
say that they are getting old and too
feeble to march any more, but that
is no reason why they should not get
together and talk over old times.
They had great time in every
way, and though the number from
here waE smaller than ever before.
yet it is expected that the meeting
next year, which is to be held at
Birmingham, Ala, will be fully up
to the average. Though some of
them will have answered the last
roll call before that time, their de-
scendants will take their places.

Latest Phase of the Work of
Might Riders.

Two plant beds on the farm Of j.
A. Miles at Bennetstown were robbed
the thief pulling all the plants large
enough for transplanting,
The canvas which was rolled up
and lying on a stump was also car
ried away. From the tracks left,
there were only one or two Of the
thieves. The two beds contained
about two-hundred square yards,
and the robbery was not discovered
until next morning, when negroes
went to the beds to get plants to set
out Mr.. Miles, crop. Mr. Miles has
from the first been a member of the
farmers association.
He telephoned to this city to Dep
uty Marshal T. j. Cundiff, and his
assistant, T. E. Pedigo, went to the
scene with bloodhounds, with which
an attempt was made to catch the
thief.
On account of the drilling rain,
though, the dogs were unable to
take the trail.
On the same night Oscar Pendle-
ton, who lives on the farm adjoining
Mr.. Miles, was similarly visited and
suffered even to a greater extent
He lost the plants from 400 yards of
beds.
Other farmers in the same section
are reported to have had plants
stolen.
