XXX Richard Mansfield delivered an address to the graduating clas3 of the Empire Theater Dramatic School, New York, last week. In which he gave young actors a number of valuable hints. Mr. Mansfield placed particular emphasis on the need of actors practicing perfect table manners in dinner scenes on the stage. He also urged the importance of good English and of voice cultivation. He declared in favor of the establishment of a national theater, and expressed his belief that such an establishment would encourage native dramatists and discourage the production of immoral plays. One of the best things the great actor said was: "You cannot succeed on the stage without work. You cannot spend the days In bed and the nights carousing. Mori women succeed on the stage because they are more In earnest, harder workers, more courageous and more temperate than the average man. Nothing hinders a woman on the stage but plain looks and matrimony." XXX Maude Adams's impersonation of the fascinating historical character of "The Eaglet," Napoleon's son who was King of Rome and Duke of Reichstadt, in Edmond Rostand's romantic drama "L'Aiglon" has proven one of the greatest successes of her remarkable career. This achievement cf America's young actress, which appears so brilliant to the theatergoing public, has in reality been the slowly evolved result of laborious and long-continued study on her part. In order to better fit herself to por tray the great character, already dignified by the touch of Sarah Bernhardt's towering genius. Miss Adams journeyed ,. Paris last summer to study the life of the little son of Napoleon. Added to her profound knowledge of the character with all its historic side-lights and her well known ability as an actress, is the magnificent scenic production of "L'Aiglon," which Manager Charles Frohman has provided for his star. This production is declared to be wonderfully complete to the minutest details, and the battlefield of Wagram is pointed out as one of the best examples of the highest development of modern stagecraft In this country. xxx Becky Sharp is clever, she is brilliant. sho lies with the freshness and fecundity of a spring shower she attracts men, she overwhelms women, she can make the truth look a poor thing, and she can so dress up dishonesty that it shines with beauty: she has gifts, she has life, she has will, but her ways run contrary to the highest law, to the deepest of lall things. She Is doomed not to succeed; she cannot succeed because the constitution of men's hearts and minds are what they are. and if the playwright has done his work as one Is told he attempted to do it. this is what the spectator should feel this, combined with poignant, personal regret for Becky herself. There are other characters that play their parts In "Vanity Fair" that masterful modernization of John Bunyan's Ideas, the City of Vanny and Vanity Fair as Dobbin, who, poor fellow, is Innocent enough of all evil intention and goes his way without a smirch. And there is Rawdon Crawley, who shares Becky's downfall. who Indeed had his own burden of wrong doing and who knew he had, too, deep down in his soul, and was made a sorrowful man by the knowledge, and continued so to the end. The great production of "Becky Sharp," which has been arranged under the personal supervision of Mrs. FIske. will be witnessed in its entirety at the Park Theater Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon or the eurrent week. The heavy advance sale has by no mean3 exhausted the good scats In the theater, which come very near to taking in the entire seating capacity of the house. SaaaHBHaHaBMiaaWaBaBMWWaHBHHMaMaaaiaHHB ' ODD FELLOWS PLANS. The Sovereign Grand Lodge to Be Well Entertained. The Denlson Hotel has been selected as the headquarters for the officers and supreme representatives of the Sovereign Grand Lodge during the meeting of that body In this city next September. These officers and representatives have been notified of the arrangements and already they are beginning to make their Individual engagements for hotel accommodations for the meeting. Since the Detroit Odd Fellows engaged headquarters for their crack canton and accompanying delegation tho members of the order in other cities have been aroused to the necessity of making early arrangements if they desire desirable quarters, and severul delegations have been corresponding with the entertainment committee and with the hotels for that purpose. With a view of working up the attendance at the meeting the committee on arrangement Is sending out reading notices and advertising matter to newspapers and the fraternal publications all over the country detailing the plans for the meeting and exploiting the advantages of Indianapolis as a convention city. Literature of this kind will be generally circulated from time to time until the week of the meeting, and it is expected that the work will result in making it one of the largest and most successful ever held by the Sovereign Grand Lodge. This week at the meeting of the directors of the Merchants' Association Grand Secretary Leedy will explain the nature of the plan for the entertainment of the big crowd that will visit the city and will ask tho co-operation of the merchants in making the demonstration successful In every particular.

IN THE CITY'S PULPITS

REV. WILLIAM A. QUAYLE AT ME RIDIAN-STREET CHURCH. He Preaches on the "Honesty and Capability of Christ" Other Church Service Kanter 3Iuslc. The Rev. W. A. Quayle, pastor of the Meridian-street Church, preached to a large congregation last night on the "Honestty and Capability of Christ." He said it was settled beyond all question that Christ was honest In his leadership and It was a great point toward proving his divinity. Honesty, he said, is essential In all leadership, as no man ever became a leader at the bar, in the ministry, or in any profession unless lie was known to be absolutely honest. The honesty of purpose that governed the great American leaders, George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, was unquestioned. Besides honesty, Christ had capacity, and having both of these great essentials of leadership. His words cannot be lightly put aside. Christ never said anything but what was for the good of mankind. Assuming that He i3 divine, then his words are fraught with all sorts of meaning for the salvation of man. "Christ has said that the world had light enough," continued Mr. Quayle, "and assuming that this is true, it is fair to say that men are not damned from lack of knowledge, but from inclination. Is thera any man in his sound senses but what knows he should dedicate his hands and tongue to the worship of Christ? Do you tell me that people don't pray because they are afraid God won't listen? Nay, not so. It is because their hearts are dumb and they don't want to pray. You all know who God is and you all know where He is to be found, but it is not knowledge that keeps you away from Him. Does He not say, 'Love me and keep my commandments?' Yes, you know that. Then, in God's name, why don't you heed Hl3 words? Christ says we have enough evidence. We know enough. It is not information we want, but reformation. Act on the knowledge you possess." REV. C. AV. TINSLEY'S REMARKS. He Speaks of the Methods Pursued by Carrie Nation. In making a brief talk at the Broadway M. E. Church last night at the conclusion of an address by Mrs. Frank Gipe, in which she referred to the liquor traffic. Rev. Charles W. Tlnsley, pastor of the church, said: "The statistical reports compiled In the United States treasury office show that the consumption of liquor in the United States Is on the increase; that there is more beer being consumed, and it is as bad to drink beer as other alcoholic beverages. We have in the city to-night a v.-oman who is trying to abolish the saloon evil. She is Mrs. Carrie Nation. In 1873, during the great crusade In Ohio, there were 10.000 Carrie Nations, while there is only the one now. In 1S73 the women smashed decanters and performed wonderful things. While I don't llk,o Carrie Nation's methods, I would like to see some method inaugurated that would take the drink dragon by the throat and choke it out of existence. Mrs. Nation has been called a fanatic, but it is said she has cause to have a sincere hatred for the liquor buelnesst" Mrs. Frank Gipe interested a large congregation by reading a paper on the subject of "Environments" that she had previously read before the Mothers' Club a short time ago. Mrs. Gipe pointed out tho duties of the mother and father In raising children so that the3' can best wage the battle against In and the temptations in life. She said a mother should provide her children with amusement at home, so that they would not be tempted to associate with worldly people. CHURCH NOT EXCLUSIVE. Rev. Lerrl Ilrown Defends Episcopalians Affalnst Criticism. The Rev. Lewis Brown, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal Church, last night delivered another of a series of lectures he Is giving in reply to criticisms against the Episcopal Church. In his remarks last night Mr. Brown dealt with that phase of criticism that charges the Episcopal Church with lacking in hospitality and with being an exclusive organization. Mr. Brown contended that the church Is always ready to extend a hand to strangers. In support of his contention he cited the experience of a Chicago newspaper reporter who spent two months visiting the different churches of that city garbed in working men's clothes. He wrote that he received the warmest reception in the Episcopal church. Mr. Brown held that the Episcopal Church is not the exclusive church that people imagine. RASTER MUSIC.

Villers, pastor of the First Baptist Church, preached the fifth of a t-eries of Illustrated sermons on the Pilgrim's Progress last night, to a large audience. In thia sermon the pastor sought to show the Christian's practical experience as h paes through the world's vanities. One Idea conveyed was that the Christian life U not all hardship an' temptation, but ij often lightened by comforts and Intense joys. In the sermon last night the Pilgrim was followed from Vanity Fair to the Delectable mountains. In the city of Vanity. Faithful, who was the friend of the Pilgrim, wan arrested, condemned and burned at the stake. but through Faithful's death. Hopeful was won to Christian, the Pilgrim, and bee- rn 'hid companion.

"Resolved. That every official elected by the Socialist Iabor party shall within tne sphere of his functions diligently work for the absolute and unconditional recovery by the city of the municipal franchises, privileges, rights and property that have already been alienated to private corporations and against any further such grants or alienation under any circumstances or upon any conditions whatsoever, to the end that all such franchises be operated by the city." The plank referring to the remuneration of the employes of the city reads: "Whereas, It has heretofore been the practice of this municipal body to carry on its affairs on the so-called 'business principles' of capitalism, namely, high salaries fees or perquisites for the idle bosses and starvation wages for the industrious employes, so that the worker In the public ervlce is like the worker in private employmentrobbed of three-quarters of tha value produced by the manual or intellectual exertions, "Resolved. That Socialist officials shall vigorously urge the application of the fundamental principles of the Socialist republic to all the municipal services as far as possible under present conditions. They shall in particular insist on the following demands: First, the election by the employes of their respective foremen, superintendents nnd other officers not elected bv a general vote of the people: second, a minimum salary supplemented by an equal distribution among the employes of a portion of the surplus value (or profit) which, produced bv their Joint labor, is now appropriated by the directors and stockholders of corporations; third, another portion of the said surplus shall be set aside as a pension fund for the ased and a relief fund for the sick employes of the municipality: fourth, the remaining portion shall be applied to the maintenance and extension of the said public service, the price of which shall be reduced to the extent of th saving permanently effected by mechanical and other Improvements."

ELOQUENT COLORED MAN REV. 31. C. II. MASON AT CENTRAL AVENUE METHODIST ClllRCII. He Discusses the Spread of Religion nnd Education Auioiik Ncifroes of the South! The service In Central-avenue Methodist Episcopal Church yesterday morning possessed unusual Interest from the fact that the sermon was delivered by the Rev. M. C. B. Mason, a brilliant colored divine from Cincinnati, O. Dr. Mason is secretary of the Freedmen's Aid Society of the Methodist Church and is in the city attending the sessions of the Lexington Conference in Simpson Chapel. Any one listening to the eloquent preacher without feeing his face would scarcely suppose that he Is a full-blooded negro. He is one of the most famous men of his race In religious and educational work, having been unanimously chosen to his present position when it was vacated by the elevation of Dr. Hamilton to the episcopacy. Mr. Mason himself came within a few votes of being made a bishop at the last General Conference. Mr. Lasby, pastor of Central-avenue Church, recalled that Dr. Macy's occupancy of that pulpit was not the first instance in which a colored minister had addressed the cultured people of the church. Bishop Hamilton has been heard in Central-avenue Church on at least one occasion. Prominent features of the service were the large attendance and the heartiness with which the congregation greeted the colored preacher at tho close of his sermon. The chorus choir rendered an exceptionally fine musical programme, conspicuous features of which were the polos by Mrs. Dolan, contralto, and Mr. Bussey, tenor. DR. MASON'S SERMON. The text of Dr. Mason's discourse was a part of Matthew xxv, 40: "Inasmuch as ye have done It unto one of the least of these my brethren ye have done It unto me." He said In part: "The Methodist Episcopal Church, from the very beginning of her history, was cosmopolitan in her membership and has since grown to bs world-wide in her jurisdiction. In the field of ecclesiasticism she has never been a negative, but always a positive factor. She has neer been so much a protest against other forms of church organization as rather a positive declaration for a Christianity that was essentially Christ's life and spirit. Her going forth, therefore, into the South after the close of the war was but the legitimate outcome of her history, the natural result of a position which for more than three-quarters of a century she had maintained as one of the most conspicuous leaders in every religious and moral reform. Standing here as we do this morning to leave with you something of the results of this movement. I think the facts In the case warrant us in the assertion that, notwithstanding the difficulties in themselves difficult, difficulties growing out of misconceptions, difficulties made more difficult because of the spirit of unfairness which exaggerated them. I think that notwithstanding these difficulties, that the obstacles which we have overcome, together with the victories we have won, stand without a parallel in the history of the Christian church in any age, in any clime. But what has the church accomplished In her greatest work In the South? 1 rail your attention, my Christian friends, to this face because, as great as this work of Christian "education, as marvelous as are the results which have been achieved during these years, yet the greatest work to which God has called the church 1 the work of helping people Into the kingdom and therefore giving them in that very work, in that very fact, a basis for a higher development and for purity of life In th family circle and everywhere wh re His thought finds expression. And I submit In all candor that If we have failed In this work in the South, failed In the conersion of the souls of the prv.pl? and also failed in leading them to higher and purer lives, then we miKht Juit as well cancel all that work down there, for thre would be no foundation firm and steadfast upon which we could build and from which we could hope to receive lasting and permanent results. But If. on the other hand, God has blessed us In the work, then In that fact itself greater and high, and above all more pertinent to the whole work we have a foundation firm and steadfast upon which to build, and God's word ives Ui the hope hat from it we jha!l receive permanent and lasting results." SPREAD OF THIS WORK. Dr. Mason Rave a number of ftatltlcs to show the great spread of Christian educational work In the South kineo the civil

He showed that the Methodist Church has gained läu.Ouo in membership in the past twenty-five years and that thero has been a gain In the value of church property of Jt.DCH.OOO In the same period in the border States, and that in the far Southern States the gain In membership has been 2W,ono. On the subject of race prejudice Dr. Mason spoke interestingly, as follows: "I am praying God to let me live long enough to see the day when these questions of race and color. In which ther is no virtue and Cor which no man ought to be held responsible. 1 am prayinr God to let me live long enoußh to see the day when these questions will take a baclc seat and when character and Individmlity will take prominence in church and Ftata. And that day is coming. Many of thr? questions have already, thank God. bf.-am ancient history, and I think the discourses of the Chinese minister I don't believi In all of his ethical conclusions, certainty but somehow I believe it has helped a J lt. tie bit to take some of the conceit cut cf those Americans that seemed to think they knew it all." Dr. Mason's sermon abounded in humorous as well as eloquent passages. "What the South needs to-day." he eaid, "is moral education and a little more of it would not hurt the North." The speaker said that in addition to the great work that has been done in the South with money rvr.tributed by Methodists of the North the colored people have helr-d themselven as far a3 possible. He cited .an Instance of a young colored girl who had built up a school of several hundred pupils and sent out quite a number of tapablc teachers to carry along the work. He emphas'z-M the value of having highly-educated, thoroughly-trained men and women to work among Illiterate people, "for," he said, "a man h.13 to have a good deal of lea.nlng t' lern him from acting like ho kmws It all." Dr. Mason preached last nlsh. In Simpson Chapel. RAPE AND ITS CULTIVATION. How to Prepare the Soil for the Seed Uses for the Product. "Rape." said Prof. J. II. Skinner, assistant agriculturist at Purdue University Experiment Station, "is a succulent plant belonging to the cabbagre family. It grows rapidly, making a large amount of green food, upon which pigs and sheep grow well. To make a success of rape, select a rich piece of land free from we-eds. Plow deep, then roll If not too moist, and harrow till the soli is finely pulverized and well firmed down. Finish the preparation by running a plar.k drag over it. Such & seed bed will germinate the heed quickly and enable tho plants to withstand dry weather. I prefer to have the plowing done Just before .owlng. This will give tha rape an even fctart with the weeds. Sow with garden seed drill, three pounds, or five pounds broadcast per acre. "When drilled the rows sho-ild not bo more than twenty to twenty-four Inches apart. Drill sowing will permit cultivation, which will keep down weeds, conserve moisture and Increase the yield. Where drilled, the atdmals destroy less as tney walk, and lie down between the rows. If sown broadcast cover with harrow or weeder and roll. In many cases It Is well to roll the drill-sowing also. "The season will control time of seeding. Do not sow until the ground has become warm enough to quickly germinate the seed, as it comes up belter and grows more rapidly. Usually It KhouM not be rown before the middle of April In this latitude of north c-entral Indiana. It Is best to tow at Intervals of ten day to two weeks. By the u.o of low hurdb-s. this will give fresh pasture throughout the season, as tho early sowing can b grazed off a second time. This also make le-ss waste as the stock does not run oer It so much. Hap may be sown In tha corn Just before the list cultivation, if the soil is not too dry, it will grow well unless the corn Is very lare and thick. Whre thus sown It makes plendid pastui for Iambs from September till cold weather. Some men have had success In sowing rapo with oats. This however U not a rurn way as the season will have much to do with it. "It is a good plan to have the rape patch near th barns and abmelde ef the pasture. This brings the animals under tha Mokman3 eye, and if a lamb "bloats" he is tlirro to Kive It attention. If th stock can go freely back and forth ! twerr. the pasture and rupe. It will sae trouble, time, labor and even loss. Rap thus supplements the pasture, making fat lambs and jcood I Ik. "Where sheep hive access to both rapa end grass, they should nut be turned on the rape until the middle of the day when tho animals are not huntjry enouRh to gorfie themselves, and the rape is free from dew. If they do not have the rim ef the pasture, turn thm on th rape for an hour a day gradually Increasing the time, until they become accustomed to it. Then keep them on It continuously till thw end of the season."
