XXX The sale of seats for the performances of "Florodora" will begin this morning at English's. The engagement la for Thursday. Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee. XXX The bill of vaudeville that will be offered at the Grand Opera House for a week, beginning this afternoon, has several comic sketches, a troupe of jugglers and some music. James J. Corbett. once heavyweight prize-fighting champion, has the largest type on the advertisements. lie describes incidents in his career. X X Urs. Langtry, it is reported, has taken from Paul Kester a, play entitled "Mile. Mars." She will produce it next month at her Imperial Theater, in London, and expects to present it in the United States next season. Mr. Kester is a young writer known for his dramatization of Charles Major's novel, "When .Knighthood Was in Flower." The production of "Man's Enemy." a melodrama that has been in use several

years, which will be shown at the Park Theater the first three days of the week. is more elaborate than is usual at that house. There are several favorably known names In the cast. Two of the scenes are of gambling houses, one of them the Casino at Monte Carlo. Later in the season Mrs. Fluke will give, at the Manhattan Theater. In New York, a series of matinees, at which the plays used will be those in which she has appeared In recent years "The Doll's House," the sole Ibsen drama that has been presented profitably in this country; "Marie Deloche." "Dlvorcons." "Little Italy." "Cesarine," "Tcss o' the D'Urbervllles," "Love Finds the Way." "A Bit of Old Chelsea" and "A Light from St. Agnes." These matinees may b given on the subscription plan. XXX James K. Hackett has produced a play written by Edward E. Rose, entitled "A Chance Ambassador." It is called original because it is not a dramatization of a book; it would seem to be a borrowing of ideas used many times by romantic writers. . The plot Is similar to that of George Barr McCutcheon's "Graustark." A young American Journeyed to the Kingdom of lirlssa and fell in love with the Princess Alicia, whom he saved from revolutionists among her people. He fought much and loved ardently. Mr. Rose ha3 been prominent r-cently in his employment of turning popu'ar novels into plays for Charles Frohrran. He did this service with "Alice of Oid VIncennes." with such lamentable result as the patrons of English's Opera House have already seen. XXX The Christmas number of the Theater is double the usual size and contains two colored plates, besides a colored cover representing Maude Adams In "Quality Street." J. M. liarrie's new play. There are a hundred pictures of players and scenes in new plays. Justin Huntley McCarthy writes of Francois Villon, the French balladist, whose character Mr. McCarthy has twisted out of recognition in making a romantic fday for E. II. Sothern's use. Julia Marowe contributes an article on her experiences. Kate Masterson describes an interview she had with John Drew. Alfred Ayres. an English-language expert, begins a series of papers on "America's Greater Actors." the first being his estimate of Edwin Forrest. August Spanuth and Emily Von Tetztl discuss music, operatic and other. xxx Without exception stage presentations of popular novels have been heavily patronized here, and It will be surprising If the audiences at the performances of "David Harum," at English's the first part of the week, are. not large. The public has a de, sire to see how the novels it reads "look on the stage." and theatrical promotersCharles. Frohman. especially have taken advantage of the public's wish and have profited greatly thereby. The dramatizations always have been disconnected and illogical, even if the books were not. but this Is not popularly a defect. William 11.

LIFE OF A MORAL

IT IS CONSIDERED IN A SERMOX ON "TII12 CONFLICT OF" LIFE."

Iter. Jonhun Stniinflelri Sayn Hlght Living lias It Heuanl At Second Presbyterinn Other Services.

The Rev. Joshua Stansfield, of Meridianstreet Methodist Church, yesterday morning began a series of sermons on the book of Job. His subject yesterday morning was "The Conflict of Life." The essence of his sermon was that a man may be a moral man and be right with God. He said: "If a man will be true to the highest and best that he knows heaven will be with him." He wld the book of Job reveals the perplexing problems of life and moral government, and In Job a man was found who did right under conviction that it was right and for no other reason. The man's character, he said, was of the highest type, and his integrity was untarnished. He said a personal disinterested goodness was the surest indications of what relation God bears to us. When a person comes to the consciousness of that holy righteousness then he is true to himself; he is a true man In the sight of God. He said Job was a man who felt this sense of high morality more than anything else, and he renounced evil out of a deep sense of moral right. lie said there are some lives that know greater temptations than others. Some know more temptations and do not yield, while others know few and fall. It is not necessary to see in order to know the greatest temptations, he said, and the man who has the power and stamina to meet all of these temptations, battle with them and conquer, without the fight solely within himself, Is the bravest and truest type of manhood. "There is in this world an iniluence upon moral character," tie said, "an influence that is personal. Every influence emanates from a personal source." He said that so long as we succeed in life there is not much to concern us, but when adversity comts then it is necessary to turn back to the old book to learn of Lie presence of an evil one, marvelously powerful over individuals. The minister spoke of Job's family life, how he devoted himself to his wife and children, and said a man's attitude toward his family reflected his true inward self. A man who loves his family, he said, is a man who commands the confidence of all about him.

AT SECOND PUESBYTEIIIAX.

Sermon by the Rev. NV. T. Reber, of Ileynolda ville, Pa. ' The Rev. W. T. Reber, of Reynoldsville, Pa., occupied the pulpit at the Second Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. The subject of his sermon was "Danger of Self-confidence, or Overconfldence in Self." His text was Matthew xxvi, 31-25. Ills subject was derived from the actions of the disciple Peter when he told Jesus that "though all men shall be offended because of Thee, yet will I never be offended. Jesus said unto him, verily I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice." Speaking of the actions of Peter in denying Christ and of his self-confidence the Rev. Reber said in part: "On this occasion when Jesus went with His disciples to Gethsemane Peter participated more than any of his disciples and Jesus, unmindful of himself, addressed His disciples in words of love. Peter's intentions were good and he was one of the three who were privileged to enter into the secret councils of the Master. But he was selfconfldent. Too much of anything is not

good and too much reliance in self is dangerous. Peter had overconfldence in self. Had he listened to words of advice he might have escaped this overconfldence. . "After Jesus was betrayed by Judas, Peter followed the crowd that led Jesus Christ before the lord high priest and was eager to see the end of those who were put to death for believing in Christ. "Peter pat without the palace and a damsel came to him saying, 'Thou also wast with Jesus of Galilee." But he denied before them all, saying, 'Know not what you sayest. And when he went out onto the porch another maid saw him and said unto them that were there, This fellow was also with Jesus of Nazareth.' And again he denied with an oath. I do not know this man.' He was again accused of being with Jesus and he cursed and swore hat he did not know the man. "Peter soon found himself in confidence with those who were hostile to Jesus Christ. Men are too liable to overestimate one and underestimate others'. It is better for us to accept the old adage, 'Be sure you are right and then go ahead.' Had Peter weighed the words of those who warned him he might hare escaped. Many men are going on in life now and not heeding the warning" of God. They are too confident of themselves. Peter was sadly deficient in moral courage and ignorant of himself. We need the knowledge of God. to know ourselves. Take heed lest you fall. "The Proverbs tell us that 'He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool.' Fool because he did not heed the word of God and experience of others. "Some are willing to trust unworthy gods more than the one who gave up His life for us. No strength can Justify fidelity unless we have absolute belief in Jesus Christ. All promises must be made relying upon Him for He is worthy of our trut. We must profit by everything which Peter failed to observe. Men may sometimes be allowed to enter Into the lowest depths that God may instruct them. Peter fell very low. but was uplifted. Let us profit and not be overconfid-nt in ourselves."

THE LIFE OP MOSES.

From It Iter. II. NV. Kell orb; Drnwa Some Practical Lessons. At the Central-avenue M. E. Church last night the Rev. Hiram W. Kellogg took the life of Moses as the theme for a vigorous sermon dealing with the ordinary sins of human life, commonly called small, but having in their effect upon character a more destructive influence than many larger offenses. Dr. Kellogg reviewed the life of the Israelite leader from his days as a boy at the court of Pharaoh until the culmination of his life's work at the boundaries of the promised land. Great as Moses was. Dr. Kellogg said, his usefulness was materially impaired by his failure to hold absolute command over himself. He lacked in self-control, and. farreaching and enduring as was the work he wrought, the life of Mösts was. in a certain sense, a failure. He was never able to contain his anger. It burst from him like a sheet of flame. On one occasion, in the burning heat of his passion, he slew an Egyptian. For that sin God sent him into the wilderness, there to sit and meditate for forty years. In that forty years he mastered himself, and when, he returned to do God's work he was another Moes. For his anger God punished him. and bitterly. God would not permit that even the fet't of Moses should touch the promised land. Dr. Kellogg remarked that the punishment was heavy, but anger Is a sin of such corroding tendencies that It deserves severe punishment. It Is the most fatal weakness which ran inject itself into the life of a young man. Anger is inexcusable, he said, and God will not pass it by. Dr. Kellogg remarked in this connection that there is an idea nowadays that the fear of the retribution need hang no longer over the head of the human race, like the suspend d sword of Damocles. That idea is a ad mistake, he said. It is not the doctrine which has gone out of existence; it is the old, harsh form of expressing It. Preachers don't preach now like they did in the days of the early church, but they still endeavor to express the spirit of retribution for evil deeds. It is sometimes difficult to draw the line between what constitutes a sin or a. mere fault. It is sometimes a question of temperament and imagination. There are some people who go through the world building gilded dream castles. They live In their imaginations, and from thinking so much of banks, bonds, gold and the like, come to believe eventually that they are rich. They will go Into a tore and order a big bill of goods In the exuberance of their fancy. Now. these people, said the minister, have no intention of being dishonest, and yet the merchant who books their names stands little chance of getting his money. Dr. Kellogg toll of a minister of the church

who was a man of imagination, but ignorant concerning the practical things of the world. When he died it took his congregation years to pay the debts he had accumulated during his lifetime, not through lack of honor, but through inability to fit his imagination to the practical things of the world. "31AX MIST LIVE.'

Mr. HoulUon Sayn the Idea Often In Perverted. The Rev. C. C. Rowllson, of the Third Christian Church, last night preached from the text "Man Must Live." He said the statement is considered in too wide a sense. He said It too often is a refuge for men in doing things in business when they know they are wrong. The excuse of self-preservation, he said, is always ready when business transactions ar such that injustice is done to a fellow-man. The phrase is carried Into politics. Politicians may be honest, straightforward men in all other matters, he asserted, but when It comes to dealing In politics they stoop to do things that they would not entertain under other circumstances, with the same excuse that "man must live" or that the party must live, and that the other party does the same thing. He said the church is not exempt from the same practice, and the argument Is advanced that If the pews are not filled by the wealthier class the minister cannot be paid his salary or expenses cannot be met. Questionable methods are also sometimes employed in raising money for the churches under the sarae subterfuge that the church must live, he said, and that the desire seems to be to fill the pews with "good payers." Referring to men who do not consider self and sacrifice their beliefs and convictions for their personal preservation he paid a tribute to President Roosevelt for asserting his views In the face of all opposition and standing for right. He said the present time is full of opportunities for men of this character and those who would be heroic in demanding justice to all. The aggregation of wealth in the hands of a few is a menace, he said, and such a system that deprives the laboring men and producers of the wealth is wrong, and that it will take men of courage to bring about a reform and let men live.

OTIS SKIXNEH'S FATIIEIl.

Rev, Charles A. Skinner Preaches at Central l'nl versallst Church. The Rev. Charles A. Skinner, father of Otis Skinner, the actor, of Hartford, Conn., occupied the pulpit of the Central Universalist Church yesterday morning. The Rev. Mr. Skinner Is beyond his seventieth year, white haired and apparently somewhat feeble. Notwithstanding his many years he has a powerful, penetrating voice. Mr. Skinner took for his text the gospel of St. Mathew xlil. 38. 39. His opening sentence was: "The grain field and its harvest is typical of the field of God. The field is the world with its masses of people. The harvest is the end of the world and the reapers are the angels who will summon us to our last judgment." The sermon was enjoyed by the congregation.

A BOOK WITH A MARVELOUS SALE

Increased Confidence In Germany, De spite Industrial Conditions. BERLIN, Dec. 1. Increased confidence and further gains were noticeable on the bourse during the last week. It was the best week In many months, all departments FcorlnK advances. Foreign rentes, and especially Spanish and Chinese, led the interest. The latter were exceedingly strong yesterday, with heavy transactions. The German financial reviews explain the improvement on the bourse In various ways. They all agree, however, that the domestic and industrial situation does not warrant this improvement. AmotiR the causes named as responsible for the week's amelioration is the great abundance of money, the forthcoming flotation of numerous domestic, foreign and state loans, ushering In an era of great activity for the banks of emission, and the especially strong American iron market. This market is giving unusual strength to German iron shares. These have also profited from the expected reduction in the price of coal which was announced yesterday and which amounts in most grades to one mark per ton. Gloomy Ontlook In England. LONDON, Dec. 1. During the past week the Stock Exchange has been anything but a cheerful resort. Money has been decidedly tight, forcing borrowers to have recourse to the bank. Fortunately, the government's disbursements have been larger for this week. France also shows a disposition to increase her balances in London, while the hope is expressed that further gold will be forthcoming from New York. But with the approach of the year-end and a large slice of the last loan soon due there Is small hope of easy money before well into January of next year. In the meanwhile business is as stagnant as ever. The industrial situation is decidedly bad. XEW CUSTOMS 31 E AS I'll E.

Hill In the Spanish Deputies Making Duties Payable in Gold. MADRID, Dec. l.The Official Gazette publishes the text of a bill introduced in the Chamber of Deputies Saturday by the minister of finance, which requires the payment in gold, or in notes or checks equivalent to gold, of the customs dues on imports of grain, coal oils, petroleum and their products, gasoline, benzine, codfish, dried fish, cocoa, coffee, tea, spices, etc. The bill further provides that a reduction of from 10 to 30 per cent, be made on the duties payable according to the rate of exchange, provided the rate of exchange is below 10 per cent. The newspapers and many members of the Chamber of Dputies denounce this measure as a coup d'etat, declaring that it has been submitted to nobody except Signor Sagasta, the premier. They declare that it will burden the working classes and that it exempts luxuries from customs duties. Very strong opposition will be raised to this bill in the chamber. The gold payment bill applies to both imports and exports. A royal decree orders that, pending the approval of the bill by the Cortes, the law shall be enforced immediately. Spanish Itnnk Report.
