Opera House Pygmalion sod Galatea
A large and cultured audience wel
comed Miss Marie Prescott upon her
first appearance at the Opera House
ast night in the character of Galatea
Miss Prescott impersonated a statue
animated and breathing. It is a
character that only few actresses
have ever dared essay, but Miss Pres
cott scored a decided success last
night. One may well imagine the
difficulties attending the portrayal of
a character- which is first dull cold
marble, then transformed by the
gods into a living, breathing being,
thrown among men and women with
out experience or knowledge of their
ways, when we are daily reminded of
the trials we all undergo, although
schooled through age and contact
with the world. Miss Prescott, how
ever, was equal to the task. Her
beautiful and innocent face, her
graceful movements and her child
like simplicity of expression, all
proved her to be a Galatea indeed. She
received a curtain call at the end of
each act, and Mr. McLean as Pygma
lion, and Miss Timberman, as Cynisca,
shared the honors with her.
The performance concluded with
the Assassination scene and the
"Wooing scene from Richard III., with
Mr. McLean as Gloster, and Miss Tim
berman as Lady Anne.
This afternoon "As You Like It"
will be given, and Miss Prescott will
close her engagement here to-night
in Shakespeare's great comedy, "The
Merchant of Venice."

of the death ot the late E. J. Thorpe,
secretary and treasurer of our com
pany.
He it resolvea, Tnat we deeply de
plore the untimely decease of a
young man for whom we entertain so
nigri a regard, ana wnose relations
with us both officially and socially
were of such a nature as to win for
him the esteem of all with whom he
was connected.
Resolved. That whi'e we humbly
submit to that Power who is too wise
to err, yet we grieve that we are to be
denied the counsels of one who held
an honored position in our company,
and for whom individually we felt
more than ordinary friendship.
Resolved, That we tender to tne
family of our 'deceased friend the
heartfelt sympathy of this body, offi
cially, and assure them tnat individ
ually we feel that the loss to us is
irreparable.
After this, on motion, Mr. Herbert

late E. J. Thorpe. A committee, con
sisting of James F. Post, Jr., R. D.
Cronly, and H. M. Emerson, was ap
pointed to draft resolutions and pre
sented the following, which were
unanimously adopted:
Whereas, Almighty God has re
moved "from our daily life and inter-
coarse oar friend and eompanion, k..
J. Thorpe, a man just entering the
prime of life and with bright pros
pects before him; therefore
Rtsoivea. mat oy tne death oi
Edwin J. Thorpe we have lost a com
panion woo was ever faithful to
the ties of friendship; ever ready
to assist others in whatever
way possible ; always pleasant
in his intercourse with his fellow em
ployes; vigorous and outspoken in his
opinions, yet ready to acknowledge
when wrong; one whose abilities
marked out for him a life of honora
ble and responsible position, and one
who by his manly ways, integrity and
character won for him as friends all
those who were fortunate enough to
have known him well.
Resolved further. That while we
humbly submit to the will of God,
who doeth all things well and for His
own glory, we mourn the loss of one
whose friendship we will ever cherish;
and that we extend to the family of
tbe deceased our assurance that as
deeply as strong friendship can feel,
our sympathies are with them in
their great loss.
Small Plrea.
There were two small fires .yester
day morning.
The first was at the residence of
Mr. T. O. Bunting, No. 108 South
Fifth street. When discovered the
fire had destroyed the greater part of
tbe mantelpiece in one of the upper
rooms. The bnrning mantel was torn
down by a gentleman who happened
to call at the house at the time and
who succeeded in extinguishing the
fire with buckets of water. No alarm
was given. It is supposed the fire re
sulted from a defective fine.
An alarm was turned in at 10.55 a.
m. from box No. 43, corner of Red
Cross and Sixth streets. The fire was
on the roof of a kitchen on Sixth
street near Campbell, occupied by
Molly Williams, colored. It was dis
covered by a colored boy, who put it
out with a few buckets of water. The
firjs department was promptly on the
crround. but its services were not
needed

FATETTKvrxLB, Dec. 3. Conference
met at 9:S0 a. m., Bishop Key in the
chair. Religious services were con
ducted by Dr. H. T. Hudson. The
minutes of the second day's session
were read and approved.
Question twelve was taken up :
What Preachers are Elected Elders?
Young men were elected to elder's
orders. Their reports were good and
they passed a most excellent exam
ination. Dr. Yates, the chairman of
the committee, says he never exam
ined a better prepared class or a
better looking one.
At this point. Dr. Laffertv. of the
Richmond Christian Advocate, was in-
troaucea to tne Jonrerence, and for
ten minutes he kept the Conference
in a roar of laughter by his rich and
inimitable humor. He said that be
lived in North Carolina, for he had
North Carolina pine lumber in the
floor, roof and ceiling of his house in
Albemarle county, Va. The next thing
That he wanted was a pioture of the
N. C. Conference to hang on the walls
oi tnat Dome so that when be could
ho longer come and see us, he could
look on their faces and say to his
children, there are some of my best
friends. He brought as a gift to the
Conference a gavel, the handle of
which was made froma rafter of the
old "Libby prison," and the gavel
irom tne root or a tree planted by the
grave of the "immortal Jackson."
and the roots of which drew life from
his sacred dust. He said that Jack
son's power often beat back our ene
mies; that we all knew how we held
them in the "old Libby," and there
fore, this gavel might be known as a
terror to the "evil doers" of our Con
ference. In closing, he said that no
man had ever been elected Bishop
who had not for years before been a
diligent reader of the "old Rich mond
Advocate.''''
At this point the Conference closed
business to hear an address on
"China and Japan and the mission
work in those countries." bv Dr.
Young J. Allen, who has just arrived
from China, having left there Oct.
21st. Everybody pronounced it one
of the most instructive, touching and
effective mission addresses they ever
heard. Being a Mandarin of the
Chinese government, the Doctor is
laminar with all the workings of tbe
government. He says that "iVbu is
the Epochal doy of China.'" His ad
dress will move the Church to fr
more earnest work, for foreign mis
sions. He said that nothing operated
so much against the missionary work
in those countries as the bad treat
ment of Chinamen in our country.
Rev. Nathan B. Nordan, of the
Free Will Baptist Church, took upon
himself the ordination vows of tbe
M. E. Church South, and was admit
ted as a local deacon.
At this point the candidates for
Deacon's orders were called about the
altar, and the Bishop proceeded to
propound the questions laid down in
the "Book of Discipline." The ques
tions were interspersed with impres
sive exhortations. The good Bishop
emphasized the doctrine of "heart
Eurity" or "sanctiflcation" as taught
y the Methodist Church. He urged
"entire consecration" to the work
of the ministry. With this, said the
Bishop, every appointment will be an
easy one; without it every appoint
ment will be a hard one. When he
asked the question: "Are you in debt
so as embarrass you?" he followed the
question with some pointed remarks
as to ministers going in debt; said he
had received many letters about min
isters who were in debt. He said it
was no excuse to say that the Church
had not paid them for their work;
don't blame the Church with your
fault
To-night Bishop Hargrove, who ar
rived this afternoon, will address the
anniversary meeting of the Church
Extension Board.
The Conference grows in interest at
each session. Dan.
Oaly a Woman's Heart."
Miss Helen Blythe, the great emo
tional actress, appears at the Opera
House here next Monday night in the
great society drama, ,lOnly a Wo
man's Heart ." A press notice says:
"The rendition of the character
was simply superb. Id the lighter
scene Miss Blythe was charmingly
artless and coy, delighting the audi
ence with her naive conception of
tbe loving young wife, and when
roused to passion by tbe pangs of
jealousy, the effect upon ber bearers
was actually electric, forcing them to
a pitch of enthusiasm seldom pro
duced at a dramatic representation.
As the repentant wife and heart
broken mother, her grief was so na
tural as to find answering sighs and
tears throughout the audience, while
her death scene, the final scene of the
play, was wonderfully effective and
affecting. She was called before tbe
curtain repeatedly. Miss Blythe was
admirably supported by an admira
ble company; composed in the main
of metropolitan favorites."
A Colored Girl's Narrow Escape.
The clothing of a colored girl
about eighteen years of age - caught
fire yesterday morning while she was
engaged in cooking breakfast in the
kitchen at the residence of Capt. R.
M. Capps, of the police force. The
girl ran into the house, screaming,
and threw her - arms around Mrs.
Capps neck. Mrs. Capps endeavored
to smother the flames with an over
coat which she threw over, the girl(
but the latter broke away and ran
into' a bed-room where the captain
was sleeping. He was aroused by the
noise and seizing a quilt threw it
over the girl and extinguished the
flames. Nearly all the girl's clothing
