PBESBYTEBIAN MISSION WORK. TheTield Has Broadened and Signs Aid EncoTiragiiigi Bat Money is Needed to Carry on the Crusade. And an Effort Will be Made to Baise Funds. Dr. Palmer Gires Hope by Recalling Generous Besponses Made in Former Days.

The session of the New Orleans presbytery, now taking place In the First German Presbyterlaa church, on First, between Laurel and Annunciation, was not marked yesterday by any feature special importance. At the -morning session the leading toplo, aside from the narratives banded in by the representatives of the churches, was a report on domestic missions. The presbytery assembled at 10 o'clock, the Rev. S. C.

Byrd presiding aa moderator. Suitable prayers were offered by the Bev. Dr. Palmer. The moderator then announced the appointment of the following committees: Devotion Rev.

Lu Voss, Mr. J. Schaefer. Hills and Overtures Rev. Dra.

Walden, Mallard and Koelie; Messrs. Lyman and Rogers. Judicial Rev. Drs. Palmer, Mallard and Rev.

Mr. Steele; Messrs. Wright and Pat-tlson. On Minutes Rev. Messrs.

Smith and Atkinson and Byres; Messrs. J. K. It odd. and llenxel.

Synodlcal Narratives Rev. Drs. N. Kett Smith, Walden, Forman and Messrs. Tal-mage and S.

M. Bodd. Statistics Rev. Messrs. Perkins and Graham, Messrs.

Myers and Hyatt. Budget Kev. Drs. Palmer, Mallard and Young; Messrs. Lumau and J.

K. Rodd. Presbyteral Supplies Rev. Drs. Nail, Atkinson and Cumpsten; Messrs.

Oa motion of Dr. Pa.mer the clerical members of the committee on budget were eliminated. The roll call showed present the clerical gentlemen In attendance last night, and Rev. Drs. Mallard and Atkinson, and Rev.

Messrs. D. O. ByerB, W. C.

West and Elder A. T. Perkins, the latter representing the Bereau colored Presbyterian church. The meeting was notable for the presentation of a petition from a majority of the members of the Lafayette chnrch, to have the name changed from its present form to Markham church, in order to commemorate the late Dr. Thos.

Mark-ham, for many years its pastor. A petition from a minority of the members waa also submitted, against this project. Both were referred to committee without action. The greater part of the morning was occupied with the narratives, or reports, from the churches in the presbytery's territory. Among those heard from were the First Presbyterian chnch, the Lafayette, Canal street, Immanuel, the Pry-tanla street.

Canal, Napoleon avenue, Carroll ton. Seaman's bethel. First and Second German churches and Berean church. The report of the Prytanla street church was interesting from the fact that the congregation was raising funds to build a new chnrch. Dr.

Steele, reporting for the Carrollton street chnrch.said that bis work at the Seaman's bethel interfered to some and he had in last November offered his resignation, which was not accepted. The pastors of the German churches both said that the decrease in German emigration to this city had retarded the growth of their charges, but they had stfil an Important work among the descendants of Germans, a class to which the English churches did not specially appeal. However, they said it was onlv a question of time when the use of German in their churches would have to be abandoned. The reports of the other churches Indicated a general state of prosperity and progress. The country churches were! Summit, Bogue Chltto and McComb City, represented by Dr.

Atkinson, an evangelist; Magnolia, Osvka, Amite, represented by Rev. Mr. Perkins; the Seminary chnrch, represented by Dr. Atkinson; Jeanerette, represented by Dr. Atkinson; Morgan City.

Thlbodaux, Honraa, represented by Dr. Smith; Pass Christian, represented by W. J. Pattlson, and Handsboro, represented by Dr. Smith- The reports showed a generally satisfactory state of things in all these departments.

Dr. Graham, an evangelist, reported his work at Bogue Chltto. Tangipahoa. Summit, Ponchatoula, Hammond, etc. He said that new chnrch buildings were absolutely reoulred at Kentwood, Tangipahoa and Hammond.

He has been forty years In the work among these towns. Dr. Atkinson reported In reference to his evangelical work In Jeanerette, New Iberia, etc. Rev. Mr.

Perkins reported on the evangelical work in Fern wood. Magnolia. Osyka and Kentwood. He eald that chnrches were badly needed at all these places, especially at Kentwood. Evangelist Steele, vof the Seaman's bethel, said he has ans Interesting report, and was given permission to present It to-morrow.

Dr. Forman reported In reference to the Italian mission, and said that a branch had been established In the Third Presbyterian church, on Royal street. Dr. Nail delivered a long report on the work of the committee on domestic missions. He eald that relief had been prorated among the country churches, as follows: Ocean Springs and Blloxi, S25 per month; Amite, Osyka.

Magnolia, $100. Dr. Palmer bad generously assisted in this relief. Acknowledgement was made of $25 given by the synodlcal committee. The evangelical work of Rev.

G. K. Chandler was reviewed. has been em- fdoyed with New Iberia as headquarters, a field heretofore unoccupied. In New Iberia a church with 25 members bad been organized and a $600 church is projected, towards tue cost of which $140 is already in hand.

At Abbeville a church is badly needed. At Franklin a church might advantageously be organized. Mr. Chandler advised that New Iberia, Franklin and Abbeville be organized, and a minister put In charge of them. Lutcher could support a and the company there has promised to donate the site.

Mr. Chandler advised that Lntcher, Gramerey and some other place beformed Into a district for a missionary to have permanent charge of. Dr. Nail closed his report by advising that a church be erected in Cameron and Vermillion parishes. He acknowledged a donation of $129 from Dr.

Palmer for the church at New Iberia. A supplemental report by Dr. Nail was given In the form of a letter from Edward Weeks, elder at New Iberia, asking that a minister be permanently stationed there. Dr. Palmer moved that the consideration of.

the report be made the special order of business for the evening session, which motion was carried. Dr. Nail reported on the Chinese mission of the Canal street chnrch, and said that a Chinese-speaking missionary was necessary to its success. It was also necessary to defray a debt outstanding against the mission. A letter from Madlsonvllle was read, asking that a minister be stationed' there, and that a donation of $25 be made.

The treasurer reported expenditures of over $1000, of which $225 were for home missions: $200 for the evangelists; $200 for the Chinese missions, and the rest for general expenses. The assessments nn- Sald amounted to 25. and the cash on and amounted to $92 90. The treasurer expected to collect of the outstanding debts enough to bring the cash In hand np to $178 90. which, minus dues $75.

left a surplus of $103 90. The session then took a recess tin 7:30 In the evening. EVENING SESSION. The presbytery reassembled at 7-30 o'clock. All the lay and clerical delegates were present, the only new name added to the roll during the evening being Mr.

R. H. Crawford, representing the Napoleon Avenue church. The report of the committee on domestic missions was read by Dr. Nail.

Dr. Palmer then. In accordance with a promise made at the morning session to relate some incidents ef the church a growth In early days, spoke at tome, length. He said that while $1250 was needed to carry on the mission work as now projected, it was feasible. In view of what had been accomplished in the past, to raise the estimated sum, and correspondingly to broaden the scope of the work.

About $3000 would be requisite to Inaugurate the needed extensions. This did not seem an exorbitant sum to raise, when 'the church recalled her state after the close of the civil war. Then $80,000 waa required to defray debts, and set the church in good The Third church was about to be sold by the sheriff. Dr. Smith, the pastor, of whom the orator spoke very highly, appealed to Dr.

Palmer for aid, and on the latter'a suggestion both of them, for three years, solicited assistance In their congregations. Large sums were obtained, and the church was finally saved. A debt of $30,000 rested on the chnrch now under Dr. Nail's care. This chnrch waa then located at the corner of Gasqnet and Liberty.

Fortunately, it was sold to some northern persons, who destined it for the use of the negroes, for enough to pay the debt and leave a margin that sufficed to erect the present Oanal street church. But before this was effected Dr. Palmer was obliged to appeal to his people, and in one year raised $12,000, and in another $4000, which permitted that happy result to be accomplished. At the same time Mr. Markham'a church was rebuilt, and the Napoleon Avenue church and other church edifices were erected.

In fact, the only churches In town free from debt were the First chnrch and the-Pry-tania church. The rest were mission churches heavily In debt. Since that time the missionary work on the line of the Illinois Central as far aa Bogue Chltto, originally and still In the charge of Dr. Graham, had been extended, till now. for the first time, the church is able to look with hope to this section.

Very remarkable advances have been made along the Louisville and Nashville, and whereas then there was only the church at Pass Christian there are now six in the different coast towns. Dr. Atkinson, on the Southern Pacific, at Houma, Centervllle, Thlbodaux and elsewhere has done a remarkable work and has built three new churches. These facts show how the field Is opening now that immigration Is coming into the state. The state and, in fact, the whole south was undergoing a financial and social change, and it was necessary only to keep ground in order to participate in the coming prosperity.

Grateful for the past, the church, should do her best In this direction. Dr. Walden regretted that the people at large had not heard Dr. Palmer's remarks, and suggested a mass meeting at which to take up the subject of missions and raise the required sums. Dr.

Mallard thought this wise, and Dr. Walden subsequently moved that a committee be- appointed to work tip the meeting, as follows: Messrs. T. J. McMillan.

J. E. Rodd. J. T.

Talmajre, It. Barr, N. J. Pattlson. T.

E. Guedry. R. H. Crawford.

W. B. Lymap, Geo. Johnson. A.

Pfelffer, J. Schaefer. Discussion of the report on missions became general, and Dr. Atkinson volunteered to assist In any way In the New Iberia field. He wanted the presbytery to help to erect-a church at Jeannerette to cost about $2000.

Dr. Nail said three men were badly needed In the missionary field. Dr. GrahanTsald the line along the Illinois Central needed five churches, one each, at Hammond. Kentwood.

Independence. Tangipahoa, and rontchatou-la. and about $2500. The presbytery agreed to appropriate $25 for the churches at Amite. Osyka and Magnolia, and assumed the responsibility for other sums amounting to $150.

The New Iberia church was enrolled, and the liability for a debt of $275 assumed to offset a payment due In 1890. The other matters of the report were left-to the discretion of the committee, with Instructions to do what was best to promote the work. The request of the Madlsonvllle mission for $25 was granted, and arrangements will be made to fill the pulpit there Drl'alallard gave rtotlce of the application for license of Mr. Benjamin, a candidate for missionary work In the Congo. The appeal of the Third Presbyterian chnrch was docketed.

The place-of next meeting was chosen st Summit. McComb City being the only other candidate. Dr. Nail and Mr. MeMIllen reported on the work they did as representatives to the general assembly.

From the utterances that were made by soma of them daring the conference that waa held la the afternoon.

It was apparent that there was no desire to have their sable co-workers' figure In their transactions, and it waa furthermore apparent that they had determined to eflec-tnally squelch the negro In politics as J000 the time came for them to vote ror the constitutional amendment restricting and qualifying the suffrage. This was all manifest at the time that the conference adjourned. lnJerim between that time and the convening of the aute eentrar tall hustling done to prevent the passage of any resolution favoring the suffrage amendment.

Charl: v. Theatre To Be Presented by the Waltea Dajaroteh Of era Cenpsay. Mr. H. G.

Snow, the general agent Walter Damrosch's great opera company, arrived in the city yesterday anil Immediately called upon Manager W. H. Rowles, representing Jefferson, Klaw Si Erlanger, to make the preliminary arrangements for a- season of German opera this winter at the St. Charles Theatre. Mr.

Snow was called on by a representative of the Picayune and enter talned the scribe for a full hoar, discoursing upon the merits of the Dam- rosch company. The conversation operedi with some reference to Wagner, ths great German master, and Mr. Snow said that although Thomas and Seldl, were the prophets of Wagner ln America, ths elder Damrosch must be credited wltra having waved the baton over the first Wagner productions of prime importance In this country. This was not raid to discredit earlier efforts. But they were sporadic.

Wagner opera, sung by Wagnerian singers and on a sound artist fo basis, was first given by. Dr. Leopold Damrosch in the Metropolitan Opera House, New York, In 18S3. After his death Mr. Seldl carried on the good cause.

Then came the hiatus. There was no Wagner unless In a perfunctory, fashion, sung by Italian and French singers ln the usual conventional, un-tradltional style. "Wagnerlsm la dead," was the prouunclamento of the Itaiiari camp. And so It seemed. "Last season." continued Mr.

Snow, Mr. Walter Damrosch, who sensed ths situation, went among his friends and, talked talked as only he can of a Wagner revival. Thar mun, dnnhtln Thomases, but the enthusiasm and air of absolute conviction of the young conductor won the day and when the cur tain reii on 'Tristan and Isolde last March at the Metropolitan Opera Honse New York, the victory was bis, Wagnerl redlvlvusl became the sloiran of thai younger musical generation, and the Dam4 ruacu operatic tour waa a triumph, artie-" tlcally and financially. It was a source of keen satisfaction to Mr. Damrosch as he had waged war under most disheartening conditions.

Opposed by ths conservative musical faction, and la sev eral instances iuriouslv attacked bv the musical Dress, he. nsverthAlAaa. tronk calmlM on his nrArioatlnAii mwina vat bly hd remembered his father many rears before, ln Krpilnn shun ha ta mm daclty to conduct the 'Ride of the Valkyries' at a time when Wagner spelled r-i-o-t.

He changed his mind, however, for he felt the time was ripe for si vrerman opera, us goes better prepared and quipped thla sesaon than last. Over $20,000 have been spent "Z.R,m for new costumes and scenery." "Our company." said Mr. Snow. wIII appear in New Orleans at the St.
