Travesty ON Church,
Says Req. VI. C.. Peters

NEW YORK. May 21.-'The sol
emnity and mock-religious atmos-
phere that apparently surrounded the
electrocution OF Clarence V. T. Rich
eson. surely Mortified even the most
hardened, and II the Rev. Herbert S.
Johnson really asked Richeson: Are
you ready to die for Jesus sake| II
was the worst travesty on the church
and religion that ever heard" today
declared Rev. Madison c. Peters, pas
tor of Pilgrim Congregational church.
"Richeson did not die for Jesus
sake. That is mockery. He did
not even die for the sake of Avis Lin.
nell He died to satisfy the demands
of Justice because the state of Massa.
chusetts declared that he had 10.
Such things only tend TO glorify
murder and attract sentiment to muir.

heroes out of such men as Richeson
we cannot expect to check crime. or
course | believe that condemned men
should have spiritual advisers and
should have their chance for repent

THE STAGE
pErRolr OPERA HOUSE.

The Sheehan English Grand Opers
company opened a three-weeks' en-
gagement I'm the Detroit opera house,
Monday evening, presenting TO me
large audience which enthusiastically
elcomed It's return TO Detroi,, a
splendid performance OF Gounod' 8
Faust" Ii WAS in all ways a salts
factory production. The staging was
adequate. the chorus was well-trained
aud met the musical requirements
creditably. and the work OF the prin-
cipals was up TO the ideals which
have been set by the company III
previous engagements.
Joseph Sheehan sang the role OF
Faust with power and sweetness
which helped one to overlook his phys
zeal incongruity In the part OF the
youthful lover OF Marguerite. His
work shows the usual care and intell'-
gent study throughout. and he Is fully
equal 10 the dramatic requirements.
Miss Gladys Caldwell. the prima
donna of the company, appeared as
Marguerite, and gave TO the role the
impression of youth and charm which
il requires. Her soprano voice. whilo
hardly capable of meeting all the ,lif-
ficulties of the part. Is fresh and oil
wide range She was at her best in
the jewel song and evoked weli-mer-
tied applause from the audience. Her
acting is remarkably good.
Joseph F. Boyle as Mephistopholcs
was the third member of the trio OF
principals. He has the diabolical pres
ence. and adds little touches to the
acting OF the part that help with the
illusion. His bass voice is stirring in
its depths. and his Interpretation o.
the part was we'll received.
Charles Swickard. a tenor with y
well-trained but not especially pow
erful voice, was cast as Valentine The
unfortunate brother OF Marguerite.
and Alma Stetzler sang the role OF
Siebel, with good soprano voice. An.
mabel Carlton, a new member OF the
company. had the part of Martha. and
did II well. Francis j. Tyler appeared
as Wagner
The principals rose to their heights

their work here.

DISMAL ENGLlSHMEN.
Despair Over the State OF the Country
Becoming Chronic.

o0SOTltH8
DR.. Forbes Ross, a well known Lon
don physician, says that England Is
drifting toward the day when the
average Englishman's face will be
that Of the typical criminal" He be-
lieves. says a correspondent of the
New York Sun, that the better classes
Of England cannot keep pace with the
fearful stress of taxation and other
burdens imposed upon them and are
therefore being wiped out. In other
words, modern legislation Is
replacing the better classes by a mix
ture Of sheep and wild beasts and
the nation is being propagated by
those retaining primordial qualities and
the primitive instinct and the average
Englishman at this rate will soon have
a depraved gorilla countenance."
Despair over the state Of the
try Is almost a national characteristic
of the English. They are never so
happy as when they are being gloomy
about themselves. ANY copy of any
English paper will show that the Eng
lish people are going to the demnition
bowwows. The English addiction to
patent medicines Is another evidence
Of this general tendency to low spirits.
Other nations see nothing In particu-
lar the matter with the English. They
seem to outsiders to be doing fairly
well as nations go. What they really
need is a course of mental science and
practice In the cheerful point Of view.
