Indication.

NEW YORK, June 2s.-The Rev.
u, Keller, rector of Trinity Episcopal
church, at Arlington, N. j., who In
1901 was shot by Thos. G Barker. fol-
lowing Mrs. Bankers story Of an al
legged Insult offered her by the preach
err has threatened to resign his pas
torate, and the little compensation, is
once more in state of turmoil. Mr..
Kellers resignation $ expected next
Sunday.
"At the last meeting Of the executive
committees" said Treasurer James
Naylor, Wednesday. Mr.. Keller
threatened to resign: we all know he
has had several splendid, offers from
other churches. There has been a
slight difference of opinion between the
rector and Il former Sunday school
teacher, who resigned her charge a
few months ago. Some of the women
of the parish thought she should be
reinstated and circulated petition
which was signed BY more than three
Quarters of the congregation Mr..
Keller was greatly annoyed because
the petition had been sent around
without his knowledge.
eve all think great deal Of him,
although some church folk consider
him TOO aggressive and domineering,
but ali realize his worth. There is
absolutely no connection between the
ipresent trouble and the I3arker-K ell
Her case. The Barkers moved away a
few years ago and the Incident has
been forgotten"

AUDITORIUM.

"The Primrose PATH called a
modern society drama, differing
materially from the problem play.
will be offered by the Jessie Shir-
ley Co. the coming week. The
play is a working out of the love of
q young woman in the course of
which she goes on the streets to
secure money with which to buy
food for her dying husband This
remains secret to him until the
close Of the play. when he learns of
here sacrifice and Is reconciled to
it. The play brings up the ques-
ton as to whether a woman can
act as Joan Templeton did and yet
retain her self respect. Her hus-
band, who is young American
artist in Paris, afterwards comes to
America, where he wins fame. He
is dazzled by the attentions show
cred upon him by the daughter of
a rich New Yorker, who wished to
marry him. He believes his wife is
a drag on him and falls in with a
plan to get rid of her. She agrees
to the plan when she feels she is a
drag and tells her husband that the
French marriage was Illegal as she
had not secured her parents con.
sent. Just as things are about to
be settled and the wife set adrift
the husband hears the story of the
wife's sacrifice, love is awakened
and he realizes that in Joan he has
the woman of his heart. Miss Shir.
ley is cast as Joan Templeton, a
role Astounding in opportunities for
emotional work Of a high order,
George d. McQuarrie as Ned Tenn
pleton, the artist husband, has a
strong role. The play demands a
large cast. There is little comedy.
