FAMOUS SOPRANO IN BRILLIANT RECITAL.
 HAS FINE RECEPTION.
Case Heard by an Audience That Filled the Jefferson-Responds to
 Many Encores

l. ta) Separazione (old folk song) ar ranged by c. Sgambati; (b) Lithuanian song Chopin; (c) Cavatina from Der freischutz" (sung in EnglIsh) (Weber).
 g. Aria from "Mireilleo (Gounod).

 5. (a) Remembrance lWill c. Macfar- lane); (b) Dawn (Pearl c. Curran); (c) Good Night Rubinstein); (d) Summer Time (Ward-Stephens).
 such was Anna Cases song programme at the Jefferson theatre last night. It would be difficult to assemble more varied group for an evenings enter tainment, or one of more general ap- peal.
 Miss Case is a great artist. She has beautiful voice-a pure lyric soprano and her captivating personality adds distinction to her musical achievement
 Birmingham audiences are always dis eliminating. but they are not especially denonstrative as rule But Miss Case was greeted with spontaneous applause and her reception was nothing short of an ovation. She was forced to respond to seven or eight encores, and the encore pieces she sang included Mrs. Julia Ward Howe's Battle Hymn of the Re- public" with which she made rare hit. Miss Case gave it a singularly sympathetic interpretation and the sin cerity of her manner and her clear enunciation heightened the thrill and made the audience choke with emotion When she came to the chorus, Glory! Gloryl Halleluiar she asked the au- dience to join in, which it did with stir ring effect. The chorus was repeated and at the artists bidding the audience stood-every man and woman of them. For an encore Miss Case repeated the last stanza.
 In the beauty of the lilies Christ was
 born across the sea,
 With glory in His bosom that trans
 figures you and me,
 As He died to make men holy, let us
 die to make men free.
 For the truth is marching on.''
 And the audience rose again to sing the chorus.
 Among other encore songs was a gem, Will O the Wisp," composed by Charles Gilbert Spross, Miss Cases piano accompanist. It was dainty and witch ing and it's rendition was rapturously applauded.
 Miss Cases versatility and thorough artistry enabled her to acquit herself in every style she assayed- grave and gay, operatic and ballad se- lections. She rose to wonderful heights in the Aria from Gounods' "Mireille," but perhaps her most artistic achieve ment was in the canatina from Weber 8 Der Freischutz.'
 Pathetic and tuneful was the song by Rinsky Korsakoff and it had a poetic reading that rdAeaved insight and fine imagination.
 After the programme was ended in sistant calls brought Miss Case twice to the footlights, her leave-taking song be- ing the Star Spangled Banner"
 Last nights entertainment was one of the Music Study club s star events and was one of the most successful from ev- cry point of view.

You don't want a slow remedy when

regulating sick, sour, gassy stomachs.
Its quick relief in indigestion, dys-

acidity, has made it famous the world
over.
Keep this wonderful stomach sweet

The free entertainment plan OF
ministers and delegates which has
been in operation in the Maryland
Annual Conference of the Methodist
Protestant Church during the IS
years of it's history was revoked Mon
day by an almost unanimous action
of the egates-clerical and lay
and in the future paid entertainment
will obtain. For / 5 years the con-
ference has been advocating such
change, believing it to be the only
"self-respecting way in which the
body could be taken care of at its
annual sessions, but former resolu-
tions were defeated and until the
action of Monday the paid plan had
failed to materialiZe.
The resolution which had been Of
fered at the afternoon session called
for the formation of a committee to
be composed of the president of the
conference and the standing district
committee to determine the place OF
each meeting not later than January
l of the conference year. 1t also pro-
vided that each of the charges with
in the conference district should pay
the expenses Of its pastor and lay
delegate, including board and lodg-'
ing, and that the committee arrange
for the paid entertainment Of its re-
tired ministers, the General Confer
ence agents as well as the conference

guests.
The new plan was championed by
Rev. DR., George W. Haddaway, pas
tor of the church in which the con
ference is being entertained. who
stated that on account of the Won
derful growth OF the conference
membership, together with the utter
imposslbility of many of the charges
to accommodate It,, he thought it es-
sentially vital that the paid enter
tainment plan be put into operation
at once. He stated that Starr Church
one of the largest in the conference
and with one of the largest member
ships, had encountered many obsta-
cles in the Way OF its entertainment
and strongly advocated the new plan.
Rev. Dr.. Webster NJ Strayer, one
of the aldest ministers of the confer
ence, Hgs opposed to the new plan
because he said ii looked like a
shame TO remove many of the social
pleasures in connection with the an
nuai meetings, in that it would of
necessity fake the ministers from out
of the homes of the church members,
which he said had always been one
of the most enjoyable features of the
conference sessions.
The ministers engaged in the live
lfest discussion of the present session
Monda. afternoon following the re-
port OF the committee on church ex-
tension in which it recommended,
among other items, the appointment
of church extension superintendent
with salary of 81 500 per annum.
1t was thought by not a few of the
ministers that such an office and the
expenditure of SO much money was
useless an6 vigorously opposed its
passage, but IT T-as finally adopted
by to l vote. Rev. DR.. Hadda-
was, Rev. DR.. j. NJ. Gill, Rev. DR.. J.
w. Kirk and others favored the plan,
and tie opposition was led by Rev.
G.. I. Kumphries, of Washington, aid
ed by Rev. j, w. Trout, of Philadel-
phia. It was thought that the min
listers themselves ought to handle
that phase of the church work, there
by saving that amount of money, and
some objected to that amount of mo-
ney being levied on their charges in
the form of an assessment. 1t is eX-
pecteG that the position will be CIV

pastor Of the Broadway Church, Bal
timore. The position was held last
year by Rev. DR.. J. NJ. Holmes, who
retired from the active service at the
present session.
The problem oil the high cost of
living was brought to the attention
of the ministers during the morning ]!
session by the recommendation of
the former president in his report
that at the next quarterly conference
the matter of increased salaries for
the ministers be brought UP with
view to meeting the high cost of liv-
ing. sRev J. Franklin Bryan offered
a resolution asking that a committee
be appointed to take up the question
of making the minimum salary of
with families $500.
