Mile Modesto is not new to Washing

Of home missions will be presented to
the general conference asking that the
rights OF the laity be granted to the
women of the church. This will be the
first time that such a request has been
made to the conference, and there Is q
! marked and very decided diversion Of
opinion among both the men and women
Of the church on this subject.
There are at present seven bishops in
the active service Of the church, and
the opinion exists that at least six more
will be elected at the general confer

OF the church are already being spoken
Of for the episcopacy. and the election
will be an event OF far more than ordi-

Academy.

East Lynne" which has been revived
from time to time in this city for the past
ten or twelve years. has not yet lost its
popularity. as was displayed by the large
audience in attendance at the New Academy
last night. 1t thrives on acquaintanceship
and never fails to claim the passing trib-
ute of a tear. The story of the play Is
the marriage of the unhappy Lady Isabel.
the poisoning Of her love by association
with Sir Francis Levison, her ultimate
betrayal and desertion in Paris and her
disguise as governess for her own chill
dren when death is about to overtake
one Of them. Much credit should be
given William Lennox for his portrayal
of very sympathetic role. Joseph Hen
ley was seen as Archibald Carlyle and
Miss Grace Welby as Lady Isabel Miss
Josie M. Vickers as Archibald Carlyle 8

Gayety.

Large audiences enjoyed yesterdays
performances at the Gayety. The bill
presented by Weber and Bush's bon
Tons Is meritorious. Its principal fea-
lures are a musical absurdity entitled
"A Night in the Tenderloin' and bur-
lesuue representation of ''Teddy's Trip to
the Jungle" Frances Glare and Guy
Rawson are the leading performers and
keep things moving at a rapid rate. They
are assisted by a large and comedy
chorus in becoming costumes. The bur-
League on the Apache dance" was appre-
ciated more than the real effort. Miss
Clare's Ball Came during which sne
kicked a foot ball out into the crowd, and
her singing sketch with RawsOn were
both hits. Hoyt and Marion gave a Ger
man comedy sketch and Kelly and Bart
lett performed some acrobatic feats.
Stevenson pleased with his dancing and
Lake helped him along with his talk. 1t
was announced that Joe Grant. the local
wrestler, would meet all corners during
the week. Last night he threw Bump
Turner in twelve minutes. Tonight he
meets Joe O Brien.

has been ordered all over Spain, and
the order is being generally obeyed.
