A Society Composition. The professor seated himself airily at the piano and announced in a faraway voice, "Song mitoudt vordts." He rendered a few dreamy chords, and then Bertie Flippe told Mrs. Dashleigh a screaming story, and a bunch of debutantes in the corner quarreled about a handsome actor. The professor roused. "Song mlt vordts lots of vordts," he corrected. Puck.

Arrangements for the missionary meeting, to be held , in this city April 28, to be in charge of Rev. W. U. Brown, international field secretary, with headquarters at New York, were made at the meeting of the Ministerial association this morning. Rev. Brown has just returned from the Philippines, where he studied existing conditions and how they might be improved. There will be several meetings held during the day, the services opening in the morning at the Y. M. C. A. chapel with a conference of the pastors of the different churches of the city. ; The afternoon meeting will be held at th First Presbyterian -church, ' at which

time 400 representatives from the dif

ferent churches will be addressed. The evening services at the First Presby

terian church ' include an address to

the Sunday school officers and tho

members of the young" peoples' socleties. , The concluding session will he a mass meeting at the church at 8

"The Influence of Hellenism on the New Testament," was the subject of a

paper by Prof. Hirsh, of Earlham Col lege, at the meeting today. The mat

ter of giving assistance to the Associ

ated Charities was also considered.

"The Great Divide." The Henry Miller company has spared neither expense or pains in their production of "The Great Divide," which will be the attraction at the Gennett theater April 21. The cast is one of uniform excellence and includes

only artists of ability who have made great reputations in the theatrical world. Miss Mabel Brownell, who assumes the part of Ruth Jordan in the play, is the actress who created the difficult role of "the wife" (now being played by Margaret Illington) In "The Thief," which was presented all last season at the Lyceum theater. New York. This young lady has been under contract with Henry Miller for the past two years, and was "loaned to Mr. Frohman for the Metropolitan engagement of Bernstein's drama. Mr.

Miller, in expressing his opinion of this young woman's ability, has not hesitat

ed In saying that It is his earnest belief that in Miss Brownell we have the future great .American actress. Edwin Mordant, who acts the part of "Stephen Ghent" in the play, is an actor who comes by his ability through years of experience and has supported some of the biggest stars on the Eng

lish speaking stage. Miss Delia

Knight, who plays the part of "Polly

Jordan," although, a girl in her teens, has accomplished as much in her short career of less than three years on the stage as the average actress does in a life time. After winning the scholarship and medal of a prominent Chicago school of elocution and art, she became the leading woman at the Colege theater, Chicago, and it was there that her work came under the direct attention of William Vaughn Moody (author of "The Great Divide") who communicated his "find" to Mr. Miller and in turn was authorized to engage Miss Knight at once. Those who have seen Miss Knight play "Polly," say that her performance is a most delightful one and creates a lasting impression upon the auditor. The other members of the cast of the play which has been termed by the press of the country as "The Long Awaited Great American Play," Include such promi

nent people as Frederick Forrester, William H. Boyd, Daniel Penneil,

Frank Willard, J. L. Clark, George

Mason, George Kingston, G. K. Schll linger, Philip Bronson, Charles Simp

son, Frederick Gilbert and Mrs. C. W.
