Montgomery Montreal Nashville New Orleans New York City. Norfolk North Platte Oklahoma Omaha Oswto Cedar Rapids, Nov. 28. Special. The Iowa diocesan convention, which meets at Grace Episcopal Church in this city tomorrow, will be one of the most important church conventions ever held in this State.

It is expected it will settle the matter of the successor to former Bishop Perry, and it is possible thete will bo an exceedingly stormy session before that result is reached. The opponents of Dr. Green are on the ground and are apparently positive that the Cedar Rapids candidate will fall of the number of votes required for an election. On the other hand. Dr.

Green's friends say they have seen nothing in the recent developments of the contest to cause them to fear defeat. There are three candidates among whom the votes of the anti-Green forces will be divided at the outset, and the only hope the supporters of these candidates have is that they will be able to unite upon one man. The Rev. Dr. Morrison of the Church of the Epiphany, Chicago, is apparently the strongest of the candidates of those who oppose Dr.

Green. The candidates inside the State are Dr. Green of Cedar Rapids, the Rev. George M. Cornell of Sioux City, and the Rev.

R. C. Mcllwain of Keokuk. There has been much said in certain about charges which will be made against Dr. Green but it is not knewn what these charges are, or when they will be sprung.

George F. Henry, one of the delegates from Des Moines, said this evening that If Dr. Green's name was presented to the convention and his friends attempted to secure his election, charges would be presented. I am not at liberty to state what the charges are," he said, but they will be charges tending to show that he Is not a fit man to be made Bishop. I do not believe that Dr.

Green will be elected. We know of changes of votes that have been mad since the session at Davenport which are favorable to Dr. Morrison, and while it is possible there may be changes on the other side, we do not believe Dr. Green has gained nearly as many votes as he has lost. I would not want to give any figures of the vote wo expect to cast against Green, but we are sanguine that he cannot be elected." LAKE MARINE NEWS.

S3 .29.72 .29.44 i vrtl, aprop Ffolliett Paget r'a Elsie Leslie ucy Bender It Is quite Impossible to escape from tradition In playing The Rivals." The characters have become so stereotyped that even the keenest eye can detect only a few differences between the work of one actor and another in the same part. For that reason The Rivals is always a safe play to put on the stage. The best company in the world could not give a much better performance than was given last night at Powers' Theater; few companies of people calling themselves actors could give a much worse. In recent years Mr. Joseph Jefferson has played Bob Acres in The Rivals," Mr.

Sol Smith Russell has done the same. Mr. Goodwin has followed suit, and now Mr. William Winter Jefferson steps into his father's shoes. And yet it is Impossible to say that in any case the performance of the company was much better or worse than another.

No comedienne of any standing can miss the unctuous note of Mrs. Malaprop; no ingenue can fail to be Insipid enough for Lydia; the wrath of Sir Anthony has no variations; even Bob Acres has become a fixed quantity since Mr. Jefferson rewrote the play. It Is not, therefore, the highest compliment In the world to say that the performance of the Jefferson comedy company was a most creditable one; and yet It is equally impossible to withhold this tribute of praise, for certainly It was a well-balanced cast, and not a single member of it failed to come up to requirements. In one way the play profited by the absence of Mr.

Joseph Jefferson, because the illness of the acknowledged star leaves the rest of the actors more free to make a due Impression. On the other hand. Mr. Sheridan's comedy, which was not Intended to be a star play, has been so hacked about by Mr. Jefferson that in the early part It resembles nothing so much as Les Huguenots." The scenes might be played in any order and be equally coherent; and since there is no longer a star ln the cast the audience might resent this incoherence if it were not that the plot Is too well known to call for careful demonstration.

It is difficult to single out any of the company for particular praise, where the average of merit is so even. Miss Ffolliett Paget was perhaps as good a Mrs. Malaprop as need be desired. She has an excellent stage presence, a clear enunciation, without too much emphasis, and a good eye for comic effect. The Captain Absolute of Mr.

Otis Skinner deserves special mention because he made a good deal out of a rather colorless part, lie Is always a conscientious actor, even when he Is not too intelligent. His voice is good, and he is sure of his points. Unfortunately, he does not always think about what he Is supposed to be doing. Otherwise he would not spoil his first scene with Lydia Languish by embracing her in and out of season, and so stultifying the lines of the play. He was al3o a little forgetful of his lines last night, but on the whole his Captain Absolute had plenty of color and individuality.

Miss Klsie Leslie was as sentimental, foolish, and insipid as the heroine of any eighteenth century romance, and she was dressed to perfection. As an actress she still needs a great deal of training. Her methods of speech remind one forcibly of afternoons with the Chicago School of Acting or similar institutions, and she has not yet learned to speak the Queen's or the President's English. Mr. Wilton Lackaye was quite harmless as Sir Lucius O'Trigger and he struggled manfully with an Irish accent, and even then he made a good many mistakes.

But it would be unkind to criticise any player in the part of Sir Lucius, which once was fairly amusing, but for thirty years or more Our dollar-a-garment Underwear is the best we've seen at this price.

29.22. Topeka. Nov. 28. SpeciaL-John Henry Collins, a student in.

the State University at Lawrence, a young man of fine family, this morning was arraigned before Judge Hazen in the District Court and pleaded not guilty to the charge of murder. The crime with which young Collins stands charged is the murder of his father, and the case has drawn the names of the most prominent families of the State into it. Crowds jammed the court-room all day, hundreds thronged the streets unable to gain admission. The case has stirred up the whole community. James S.

Collins, a prominent citizen of Topeka. was mysteriously murdered in his own home at 5 o'clock on the morning of May 13. 1S98. He died almost instantly from the effects of two gunshot wounds, inflicted with his cwn shotgun, as he slept ln his bed at home. On June 9, 1808.

John Henry Collins, his son, was arrested charged with the crime of patricide. The subsequent developments of the murder, climaxing in the arrest of John Collins, were followed with intense interest. The trial, which began today, promises to be the greatest criminal trial ever held in the State. The State will endeavor to show that Collins employed Johnson Jordon and Jess Harper, notorious negro toughs, to kill his father; that they tailed to carry out their contract, and that he committed the deed himself. It is claimed that Collins wanted his father's life insurance to wed Miss Frances -Adelaide Babcock, a society belle of Lawrence.

The morning of the murder Collins sent the following message to Miss Babcock, which never has been explained: Father is dead; tell nothing." Both Jordon and Harper have confessed! that Collins hired them slay his father, and Collins' watch was found In the possession of Harper's sweetheart. Harper says the watch was part of the price. A number of letters purporting to come from Collins were found in Jordon" possession. They were unsigned, and had to do with the plans for the murder. The opinion prevails that the State has a strong case against Collins, but the defense has not yet shown its hand, and startling developments are looked for.

S. Forrest returned to the city yesterday and was formally offered the defense of Baron von Biedenfeld, which he accepted. John A. May, Assistant Corporation Counsel and a relative of the Cummirgs family, who has had charge of the Von Biedenfeld case, will assist in the trial. While the Baron's friends have been busy preparing for his defense the friends of Constable Charles McDonald, whom Von Biedenfeld killed, have been no less active.

The West Side Irish-American society, of which McDonald was a member, has raised a fund to engage counsel to assist the State in the prosecution. The names of Kickham Scan-Ian. W. A. Foster, and R.

M. Wing have been mentioned in this connection. The defense will base its case on the threats they allege McDonald made against the Baron's life, and that the latter was in fear of bodily harm, and shot in self-defense. The State will try to show that McDonald had made no more threats against the Baron than had the Baron against McDonald, and that McDonald was shot down in cold blood. The Baron is eager for a speedy trial, and the case probably will come up in January.

Baron von Biedenfeld was accused In Justice Kehoe's court during the day of having stolen a horse and harness and sold them. Samuel Davldov was the complainant. Davidov said that he and the Baron kept their horses in the same stable, and that in October the Baron took Davidov's horse and harness and sold them. The horse was bought finally by Benjamin Rudder. Rudder did not deny the complainant's ownership of the horse and the animal was ordered returned to Davidov.

Special COLUMBIA Illinois Coal Operators to Take Little Part in the Agitation at the Pittsburg Meeting. Illinois will take little part in the wage controversy to be agitated at the interstate convention of mine operators next morn-th at Pitts-burg. This Is the deduction of President Daizeli of Spring Valley at the close of the meeting of the Illinois Coal Operators' association- at the Great Northern) Hotel yesterday. It wasi the prevailing sentiment among the members that the schedule as adopted last spring in Chicago was good enough to all Intents and) purposes, and that the most adV visabie policy would.be to let well enough alone." The meeting at which the decisive policy of the State is to bedeflned will be held at Sprir.gfieia Dec. 20.

This is rather a rash statement, but there were times last mglu when it almost seemed that it might be true. In face, form, gesture, and occasionally voice William Winter was entirely his father. And he deserves enormous credit to step so easily at his age into his father's shoes.

In other respects, however, his performance was a little pitiable. It is sad to see a young man playing the part of an old man; it Is still sadder to see an old man playing the part of an- old one; but the saddest of all is to see a young man imitating an old man playing the part of a young man. It is like nothing that ever was seen on land or sea; it reminds one only of a figure in some nightmare drawn- by Du Maurler. Not once in the whole performance can you see Bob Acres; for the most part you see a boy giving a splendid imitation, of his father and every now and- then the illusion is dispelled and nothing is left but the boy, with a thin whining voice that sounds terribly amateurish and ineffectual. If Mr.

William Jefferson would. enly forget his father, if possible, and try to play Bob Acres there is no reason why he should not do the part well enough to pass, muster he at least would look the part, which his father cannot hope to do now. But presumably he is expected to play understudy and do it as well as possible. Mr. Joseph Jefferson Jr.
