necessity dr a second German Evangelical Church in this city has been felt by a great many in the northern and eastern part of town but no organization had been undertaken till last spring when Zions Church appointed a committee to investigate the and it reported in favor of a matter 8POond church Rev A Schmidt was called from Sidney Ohio to undertake work He came here in July and in Ji stantly went to work Mr Schmidt is an American but commands both the German and the English language and preaches in both He was zealously supported in his labors by men who do what they undertake to do and success seemed scoured for the undertaking from the very start Vim and vigor characterized the work of the organization and does so yet It was organized the latter art of July with A Gorke Sr: of the rm of A Gorke Sons President Hoge Treasure with Prof Peters Superintendent of German in our public schools as Secretary The lots are the corner of Baker avenue and Virginia street "were purchased aud

suooess will crown its earnest efforts Children Cry for Caitoria OF ASAD AND SUDDiV BEREAVEMENT How Mm Eugene Wetherell Learned of the Death of Her Husband -Cleveland Plain Dealer A nip upon the door leading to a suite of apartments in The Stillman was responded to last evening by a lady clad in modest mourning Her dress of deepest blao'z was relieved only by a wide collar of white lace clasped at the throat by a diamond brooch She was Mrs Eugene Wetherell and the look of sadness which stamped her features was in strange con- treat to the laughing eyes and beaming couutenacce heretofore Characteristic of Emma Abbott by which name she is known to the public Her dinner served in her rooms because of her reluctance to appear in company with strangers was interrupted but she abandoned it to tell the friend who called about her great sorrow After a few words of greeting had been pleasantly exchanged she said: was on my way from California expecting to meet my husband the next morning I had not heard that he was ill He had gone ahead of us to look After some property and I supposed that he would meet me at the station I was alone in the stateroom of my private car singing merrily when a chorus girl brought me a telegram Presuming it was about some matter of business I tore the envelope open and read: 'Eugtne is dead I cannot tell you what a shock it was All night long I walked the floor of the stateroom not allowing the bed to be made up I was it seemed as if should go crazy When we arrived Mr Pratt our business manager met me and after relating the circumstances he said that there was one thing I should remember in my affliction It was in the millet of the season (it was in January) and sixty people many of whom had families to support were dependent on me and it would be a great hardship upon most of them if I should close my season Besides the managers of a large number of theaters would suffer a considerable loss if I were to cancel my contracts I told him after some reflection that if he would let me bury my dead take the body east for interment I would try to do my duty You know about the funeral Day and night wept until my physician ordered me to strive to control my feelings I scarcely know what happened during the next few days but I joined my company at Memphis I had arranged that we were to play nothing but serious operas nothing with comedy -or light parts On the opening night we played Norma The house was crowded and when I appeared I was given a most cordial reception 'I could see the looks of sympathy in the audience and the tears came into my eyes in spite of me It was only by a supreme effort that I could proceed 1 cried through the greater part of the -opera and scarcely knew how I got through i- but friends told me I never sang better in my life Since then I -have been at work harder than ever I have not had an vacation I went to Europe in June studied and prepared for the season and came back a short time ago I must be busy all the time to forget my sorrow While absent I had some very tempting offers to sing in Faris and elsewhere and 1 am inclined to think although I am very devoted to my native land that it is only a question of time when I shall engage in opera abroad Since my return some wicked reports have been circulated that I am about to marry again One report says to Mr Loomis who is my advance agent another to Mr Pratt my business manager who is a married man another to 'Micheiena whose wife is a -member of my company I see how 1 anybody -can be so cruel as to start such false Dr Bell has
