Widows", at the Kmpire Theater, close the e ntertainment with a burlesque on "Ar You a Mason?" which is he-iiiK plavrd at Knlih'?. The burlesque Is called "Am You an Kaßle?" Its story is of two elder) v men that try to deceive their wives with the time worn excuse that thev were attending their lodRe when in re;iiity they were t-njoyinf? a wine supper. x x In oiio of the scenes of "Superba." at the Park Theater, a clown attaches one end of a tube to :i pa. jet and puts the other end in his mouth. The pas intlates his stoniar h until he assume? the shape of a, balloon. One of the clown's friends strikes a match and holds it to his lips, a Ions flame, darts out and the clown leaves the stae reduced to his natural size. This trick has excited the audiences to roars laughter. xxx In honor of the funeral of the President, the manager of English's Opera House, Ad F. Miller, and the manager of the company playlnK "Are You a Mason?" at that theater this week. Charles II. Oreene, have decided not to give a performance to-night. At every performance fo far the theater has been filled, and to make up for Its being closed to-night a special matinee will be, given to-morrow afternoon. A matinee will be given Saturday, also. The Metropolitan Opera House, In New York, Is now bMng occupied by a very large company In a new musical comedy called "The Ladies Faradise," which Is of the same style aa "The Rounders." The preat fdze of the theater has made a big chorus necessary and the solos are backed by a hundred voices. Richard Carle, Queenie assar and Templar Saxe have the principal parts. Mr. Saxe ia an English actor with whom this country's theater-goers are not acquainted. The venture Is that of Alfred E. Aarons, who has had many downs, but always bobs up serenely with some costly enterprise like his present one. xxx Louis Mann and Clara Llpman have begun their season in "The Red Kloof," written for them by Paul Potter. Kloof means ravinje. Mr. Mann's part is that of an old Roer, Piet Irinsloo. This actor has long been playing German caricature parts with success and now he Is attempting legitimate Roer Impersonation. Of course, the Idea of the play was suggested by the RoerRrltish war. However artistic the production may be, it will not be the lirst RoerRritlsh drama to reach this city, for the first three days of next week at the Park Theater, "The Outpost," a melodrama on the subject, will be presented by J. K. Emmett and Lotle Gilson. Mr. Emmett. who is a son of the late "Fritz" Emmett, has tried German comedy along a different line from Mr. Mann's, and he, too. has taken the oportunity to portray Roer character.

By an emphatic vote, without one dissenting voice, the Yearly Meeting instructed him to carry on the work vigorously along the line indicated in the resolutions. Following were the resolutions passed by a standing vote of the entire Yearly Meeting, and with but one negative vote: "Believing with the Supreme Court, that 'the statistics of every State show a greater amount of crime and misery attributable to the use of ardent spirits obtained in these retail liquor saloons than to any other source:' and that 'an orderly saloon in an orderly neighborhood is per se a nuisance;' and that 'no citizen has an inherent right to sell intoxicating liquor, and that, 'as the only purpose of a penal act Is to suppress, so the only purpose a license act can have Is to promote;' and that 'no Legislature can bargain away the public morals, or the public health, or the public peace;' and recognizing the undisputed fact that the legalized liquor traffic is the greatest enemy and hindrance to the advancement of "the work of the church, we believe one of the first and greatest concerns of the church should be the suppression of this traffic. "We believe the legalizing of the liquor traffic, or anything else which the people, and the courts recognize as an evil. Immoral, and against the best Interests of the public, is not consistent with a republican form of government, and Is unrighteous and sinful. "While In no sense wishing to dictate to our membership as to what position they shall take In government affairs and policies in regard to which there may be honest difference of opinion, and which admit of experiment and compromise, we believe that the Christian people are unanimously agreed as to the unrighteousness of the legalized liquor traffic, and that it is sinful to longer experiment or compromise with it; and that our membership should refrain from affiliating with any political organization that refuses to place itself in open opposition to legalizliig this or any other recognixed evil; for In a republican form of government the people are the rulers and become directly responsible for the acts to which they have consented, or which thy have delegated to their servants, the officials. This being true, the Western Yearly Meeting of Friends cannot afford to fail to make it known to all men that her membership refuses to longer stand responsible, even by silence or consent, for the legalizing of any recognized evil, and that any organization that does not stand for this sentiment must not expect or receive the support of our membership." Church of Chrlt MlMlnn Meeting. Facial to th Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART. Ind.. Sept.

LYING IN CANT0NH0ME (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) that viewed the train from its entrance Into Pittsburg until it crossed the city line in Allegheny was not less than 2S0.X0. In the face of every one there were signs of the deepest feeling and mourning. There were many children in this vast assembly, and they seemed to realize, with their elders, the sorrow the Nation was experiencing, and In their young faces, too, was expressed the mourning as for one whom they had loved and lost. During the passage of the train through the two cities a section of Battery B tired a salute from Mt. Washington, and the city and church bells tolled. CZOLGOCZ HANGED IN EFFIGY. The first section which preceded the train with the catafalque car atlac'oed did not stop in Pittsburg, but the latter halted a moment to permit Governor Nash, of Ohio, with his staff, and General Dick, commander of the Ohio National Guard, to board the train. The scene from the car windows grew even more impressive after the Allegheny was crossed. The river was covered with dredges, each thronged with humanity, and the wharves along either shore could not be seen for the people struggling for foothold upon them. The iron girders of the bridge were hung with men and boys. The public park beyond was alive with people. Every window was tilled with faces. The houses were swathed in black. Every breast wore some token of mourning, and every face was solemn with a tense look as eyes strained, eagerly scanning each car for a glimpse of the coffin in which the dead lay. Hanging from a tall crane in one of the factory incisures was an effigy of the atsassln, Czolgocz, clothed in black and wearing on his breast u dark lettered card of aiujry Imprecation. In the body were a dozen knives. Leaving Allegheny the funeral train sped through the little town of Sewlekley, an outsklrt of the great manufacturing region, with Beaver, the home of Senator Quay, nestled across the river. Here the populace came to the train en masse. From this point through to Beaver Falls the train rushed through thriving little manufacturing towns, Rochester, New Brighton and Kenwood. At Rochester a big American flag streamed from a telegraph pole, its edges trimmed with crepe, and the church bells could be heard tolling dismally. Beaver Falls was reached at 9:13 a. m. (Central time.) The climax or great demonstrations or sorrow that had been observed all the Way from Pittsburg began at Alliance, tight n miles from Canton. There the half-masted flags were bordered with black, and it seemed as if every man. woman and child was at the station. A big white streamer, ten feet wide, was across the main .street. Lettered heavily upon it were In black. "We Mourn Our 'Nation's Dead." Church bells were tolling iolorously. Then came the last half-hour's run into Canton, where the body was to be recived into the arm of Its own people. Mile by mile the approach was marked by growing manifestations of deep personal affliction. Flagthat had often waived McKinley welcome were now lowered in sorrow. Farmeis and country folk generally seemed to have suspended work altogether; the school.- were dismissed ami the entire population were ranged along the track In sorrowful silence. The straining laces showed Miat the people took this mournful home-c truing as a personal bereavement, which had entered Into each home, and it was as though fathers, mothers and sisters wi? watching for a glimpse of the casket that held their own loved one. At Maximo the country stores were heavily drapd and th townspeople pack-l ;..e little station. Now the train was at L'-wis-ville, only six miles from Canton, and. s o:i the shops of the dead President's muchloved city were dotted along the way. For the first time the sun which had been behind heavy black clouds thrw its rays on the gathered throngs and lighted up the Kombre emblems of Krief, and the entry Into Canton was made In the bright sunthine.

"I had a little experience once with the President." said a local professional man, "which left a most pleasing memory of his thoughtfulness. I was on a local after dinner programme and had been assigned lo the last position, among the toast responded. Major 'McKinley it was a few months before hJs first nomination preceded me. The major's address was schol arly and eloquent, and somewhat extended. When he finished there was much applauss and considerable clattering of glasses, and uuite a number of the guests as was natural, because the hour was late pushed back their chairs and started for the doors. I did the best I could, omitting a good deal of what I meant to say, and bringing up my climax with a sharp turn. "Well, Just as ;oon as the guests arose from the table the major met me with outstretched hand, and told me how thoroughly he appreciated the handicap from which I suffereil as the tall-ender of a long programme, and ad'.'ed that I should philosophically remember that it was a position that somebody had to fill, and he was quit sure that I had brought up the rear with flying colors and that they were all flyinic In the right direction. It was neat and it was comforting, and it was McKlnley thoughtfulness all over. Yes, and before we separated for the night he shook tw by the hand again, and repeating something I had said in the course of my little speech expressed the desire to hear me again under less hurried circumstances." Schley as a Marksman. Baltimore Sun. Mr. F. T. Hagan. of Hakle's Mills, Washington county, relates an incident in connection with Winlield Scott Schley in 1S.V5. when Mr. llngan was assisting a corps of engineers, of whom Schley was one. in making surveys for the metropolitan branch of the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad through Frederick county. One day In August conversation turned on expert marksmen. George Sthkell, from Canada, boasted of the people of that country being able . to hit with a rifle balls thrown into the v air. Jackson Barnes, one of the surveyors, ' asked a man named Coblay to get three apples and a rifle The rifle was handed to Schley, who. with a rifle ball, split each apple as it was thrown Into the air. Th feat Impressed every one who saw It. especially the Canadian, who boasted no more about Canada's crack marksmen. The Hamburg-American line steamer Deutschland, which sails from Hamburg to-day for the United States br way of Southampton and Cherbourg, will take among her pa sengers Sir Christopher Furness, the well-known shipowner. who trip to the United States is arousing great interest in shipping and commercial circles and Is considered likely to lead to some important deal in connection with the steamship and Industrial concerns with whicd he is identified.
