According to the Central Federated Union and Its members, there will be trouble for Helnrlch Conrlcd, director of the Metropolitan Opera House. If he bring* non-union singers from Europe for the chorus next season. The Chorus Singers' Union has declared for the "closed shop." and the Central Federated Union has de cided to ptnnd by It, and will expel the organiza tions of the scene shifters, stage carpenters, mu sicians and similar bodies If their members re fuse to strike next season In sympathy with the Chorus Singers* Union If Mr. Conrlod tries to Introduce non-union chorus singers. The Italian members of the phorus sailed for Europe on Saturday and will scatter through the various European cities, where they will sing at Sunday concerts until the season in New York opens again. Mr. Conried sailed for Eu rope after the Chorus Singers' Union had made an Ineffectual attempt to see him to renew the agreement. Before Mr. Conried sailed for Eu rope he paid the chorus. The matter came up at the Central Federated Union meeting 1 on a report of its executive com mittee, which stated that at a meeting of the committee last week the members of the Chorus Singers' Union, through their delegates, had stated their complaints. The report went on to say that the musicians in the orchestra were asked to assist the chorus In Its coming demand for the "closed shop." Delegate Canavan, of the Musical Mutual Protective Union, according to the report, said that the musicians always made Individual con tracts with the management. Involving no less than fourteen different kinds of prices, but none J£ c P rtces w «re below the union scale. The report wound up by recommending that the Central Federated Union call on the organ izations of scene shifters, musicians, stage car penters and others to assist the musicians promptly next season In case a non-union or chestra was introduced. This would mean that they would be required to call a strike of their members If necessary tfc bring about the "closed shop" in the chorus. Delegate Max Saltberg of the Chorus Singers' Lnion afterward said: "We won't have any non-union musicians, and Mr. Conried has no reason to look further than our unions for tal ent. If he does not recognize the union, then the scene shifters and others will strike, such being the rule of the Central Federated Union." A representative of the Musical Mutual Pro tective Union was asked if the musicians would be likely to strike If called on. He replied: "I don't see why they wouldn't. I am not a member of the Metropolitan Opera House Or chestra, but if I was I would have no hesitation In going out In such a case If called on. It would be the only way the chorus singers could preserve their union. If they did not strike, the Central Federated Union would expel their or ganization." He was asked if he was sure that they would be expelled in such a case. "Of course they would," he said. "Other wise why should they belong to the Central Federated Union? What would be the use of the body if its affiliated unions did not assist one another." MBS. GRANNIS AT CHUBCH AT USTTAL. Ignores Action of Congregation in Dropping Her from Membership.

Also Declares Persons of Wealth and Oppor tunity Owe Debt to Others. John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. speaking before his Bible class at th» Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, yester day, had this to say of criticism: Too frequently In these days we are prone to criticise, but we do nothing to change the situation. In my college days I was much impressed by the words of a senior. I had gone to him to criticise something. He listened patiently to my criticism, and when I was all through he quietly asked me if I had done anything to change the situation of which I complained. f • : Mr. Rockefeller talked on "The Life of Joshua." Those present were somewhat surprised, and many wondered whether* he was turning socialist when he said: It Is) the happiness of life to share with others what we have. There is not a man of us who has not something to 6hare with another, whether it be physical strength, worldly wealth or opportunity. A man who has wisdom and education is a debtor to the man who has them not. The man who has opportunity or wealth is also a debtor to the man who has neither wealth nor opportunity. After the session printed reports of the work of the class from January to May mere handed out. They show the enrolment is 339 and 3,683 persona have attended the lessons In the last five months. Yesterday's attendance, 155, broke the record. Al though the .class Is for young men only, several young women were present. CHURCH PARADE OF 718T REGIMENT.

First Peer of Hit Line Owned "Up ton Potent" Lands in This State. liorfl Templetown, who, with the ,viscountess, has Just arrived from England, bears a name not wholly unknown in America, for the first I/ord Templetown managed to win the favor of George Ill's mother to such an extent that she not only placed him at the head of her household as its controller, but likewise conferred upon him a patent carrying with it the possession of some twenty thousand acres la the State of New York, and which was known until the time of the Revo lution, not very long afterward, as "Upton's Patent." The Princess of Wales exercised, it may be remembered, supreme power during the earlier years of her son's reign. In fact, the government of tbs British Empire was centred in her hands and in those of that other favorite of hers, the Marquis of Bute, and he. together with the prin cess, was largely responsible for the differences between the American Colonies and the mother country which culminated in the War of Inde pendence. By way of compensation for the loss of his American lands Clotworthy Upton was cre ated an Irish peer, with the title of Lord Temple town, in 1776, and the present Viscount Temple town is his great-grandson. Although the Uptons are of Devon origin, they have been settled in Ireland ever since Henry Up ton accompanied the Earl of Efspx to the Em erald Isle In the reign of Queen Elizabeth as one of the captains of his army, and his son estab lished himself at Castle I'pton, near Templepatrick, In County Antrim, which is the principal country seat of the Lords of Templetown to this day. Among th* romances of this house is a marriage of the second Lord Templetown to a young woman of the name of Kelts, one of the somewhat numer ous natural daughters of King Frederick William I of Prussia. The marriage is recorded in the March. 1798. number of "The Gentleman's Maga zine," the publication in which English society of the day was wont to convey announcements of this kind to Its friends and acquaintances. The an nouncement is as follows: "Lord Templetown, of County Antrim, to Miss Belts, natural daughter to the King cf Prussia," Curiously enough, no mention is made of this marriage in the papes of "Rurke's" and other "peerages" devoted to the Lords of Trmpletown. Probably she died without Issue; for. three years afterward— that Is to say, in October, 179ft—Vis count Templetown married pgain. this time Lady Mary Montagu, daughter of the fifth Earl of Sand wich, and it wag by this marriage that he had the son who was the father of the present viscount. Lord Templeiown is one of the principal Masonic dignitaries of the United Kingdom, being Senior Grand W»rden of the Grand Lodge of England and of the Grand Lodge of Ireland. As might be expected from the descendant of that Clotworthy Upton who fought with such sensational bravery for King ■William 111 at the siege of Limerick, he Is a champion of that party of politics in Ireland which has for its creed the so-called Ulster plat form, and is the principal originator of all those Unionist clube which four or five years ago sprang up so suddenly all over the country. While his political views may not commend themselves to the friends of Ireland In the United States, there can be nothing but praise for th* work which he has accomplished in promoting thf> dairy farming Industry throughout the Emerald Isle, and he has In this way done murh toward restoring the ma terial prosperity of Erin. LADY TEMPLETOWN'B "NEWSPAPER ALLI ANCE." Lady Templetown is as active in Unionist politics «s her husband, and while she has never gone so far as to deliver platform speeches, she is the founder of the so-called "Ulster Newspaper Al liance," which sends out thousands upon thousands of newspapers daily, and gratuitously, explaining and championing Unionist Ideas. There is probably not a newspaper editor in thia country who has not received some of these missives from her "News paper Alliance." Upton Castle, where Lord and Lady Templetown make their home. Is a heavy old pile that In olden times was occupied as a fortress by the Knights Templar. But the inhospitable looking round towers without convey only a faint idea of the luxury within. The place is crowded with art treasures, and some of tha finest palntlngß of Sir John Lawrence adorn the walls. I*et me add that neither Lord nor Lady Temple town Is responsible for the strict rule according to which no Roman Catholic Is permitted to settle on the I'pton Castle estate. The rule forms part and parcel of the entail, by the terms of which" they hold the estate, and dates from the days of King William 111 and of the Battle of the Boyne, when, owing to the disgrace brought upon a woman of the house of Upton by a Roman Catholic noble man, provision was made by the members that for all time Roman Catholics should be barred from occupying any land on the Upton Castle property. This does not, however, prevent Lord and Lady Templetown from taking a very active Interest In the welfare of Roman Catholic peasantry and in Roman Catholic Interests outside of the borders of their estate. LORD CHARLES'S AMERICAN FOREBEARS. Lord Charles Kennedy, who arrived In this coun try on the Carmania, on Wpdnesday last, for a prolonged stay, is, a younger son of the Marquis of A lisa, and a brother, therefore, of that Earl of CassllUr who was living In America at the time of the outbreak of the Boer war. In which he eub seQuently took part as an officer of the Royal Scots Fusiliers. It may be remembered that there was n. good deal of confusion In connection with the pronunciation of his name, which Is spoken as if it were "Ca^sels. " The Kennedys, of whom the Mai quls of Allss is the chieftain, ar« not rich; but what they lack In wealth they make up In llnasgn. for tha founder of their family was Sir Jnhn Ken nedy, who gave his son Gilbert, In 1357. as one of the hostages to tha English for the liberation of King David II of Scotland. David, third Lord Ken nedy and first Earl of Cassillls. was killed by the side of King James IV ot the Battle of Flodden Field. His grandson, the third Earl of CossllHh, was one of the Scotch peers delegated to represent Scotland at the marriage of Mary Queen of Scots with King Francis of France, and succumbed, with his four fellow deputies of the Scotch peerage, to poison administered to them by the dignitaries of the French court, where they had given great offence by <he somewhat brusque manner in which they had declined to consent to the. proposal made for the puecegsinn of Mary Stuart's husband to th« Scotch Crown. Lord Charles Kennedy, in addition to tbls an cient Scottish lineage, has likewise an American an cestry. Shortly before th* outbreak of the War of Independence. Archibald Kennedy was Collector of the Port of New York, where he married, first of all, a Miss Schuyler. of New Jersey, and af terward Ann. the daughter of John Watts, of New York. Through the death of his cousin he succeeded to the honors and estates as eleventh Earl of CsssUlis. and It is from him that the present Marquis of Ailsa and Lord Charles Ken nedy are descended in the direct male line. This eleventh Earl of Cassillls, who had been Collector of the Port of New York, had a numerous family. His eldest eon became first Marquis of Ailsa, and bis third son, Robert, married Jane Macomb, daughter of General Alexander Macomb. of the United States Army. Lord Charles Kennedy is therefore likely to flrd a number of people In this country who. if they are not near relatives, can at least claim ties of kinship with him. The ancestral home of Lord Charles, or, rather, of bis father. i» Culroan Castle (pronounced Culcan). on the Ayrshire coast, and there the present marquis lives with his second wife, the stepmother of Lord Charles. The present marchioness was the daugh ter of a Sootch gardener, who had gone out to India to give technical advice as to the manage ment of a tea plantation. He died suddenly there, and his orphan daughter was on her way home as a second class passenger when she attracted the attention and the sympathy of the marquis, and before they reached England he had offered to make her his wife. Tha marriage has turned out a singularly happy or*. EARL'S HEIR MURDERED IN AMERICA. During the proceedings which have lately been taken in court In England by Lord Egmont in re lation to tha expenditure of considerable sums of money obtained by sale of the entailed property, mention was made of the fact that the earls only brother and heir was living in childless mania** In South Africa; that the next heir In the line of Ku<-r*sMon was Spencer Perceval, a man of con siderably more than seventy years of age, with only one child, a daughter, sad that the third In tft* line ot the honors and estates was a »a«tn»*T of the family who had come to this country years •go. and who could not be found. Now, the member of the family who cane to this country and who, if alive, would stand immediately third in the line of succession to the Egmont Peerages and estates, would be old Spencer Perceval's only son. Henry Godfrey Perceval. Settled In Nebraska, he was murdered, together with his wife and only child, on September 9. Isft. The crime, which was perpetrated under circum stances of particular atrocity, attracted no end of attention at the time, and, of course, the news papers. In recording the tragedy, did not fail to re call the fact that a grand-uncle of the victim, the Rt. Hon. Spencer Perceval, while Premier, was assassinated In the lobby of the House of Com mons. This took place in 1812. and one hundred and fifty years previously Sir Robert Perceval, a famous duellist, was assassinated in the Strand by murderers whose identity was never discov ered. It was. the grandfather of this Sir Robert Per ceval who may be said really to have founded the family. His name was Richard Perceval, and after adventures in Spain comparable to those of "Oil Bias,'' he on his return attracted the attention and won the favor of Queen Elisabeth by his suc cess In rapidly deciphering a number of dispatches captured on a Spanish vessel, written in a secret cipher, and containing all sorts of details concern ing the plans and projects of the so-called Spanish Armada. In fact, these dispatches conveyed to the virgin queen and to her famous Premier, Lord Burlelgh. the first authentic news about the Spanish Armada, and enabled them to make preparations for defence against the threatened invasion. Rich ard Perceval's grandson. Sir John Perceval, stood so high in the good graces of King Charles that the latter not merely conferred on him a baronetcy of Ireland, but caused a remarkable proviso to be In serted in the patent to the effect that the eldest eon and grandson of the holders of the baronetcy should be created baronets in their own right during his lifetime on attaining their majority. Down to the reign of King George IV the eldest aon of every baronet hal the right to demand the honor of knighthood from the Crown on attaining his twenty-first birthday— a rule which was done away with Just before Queen Victoria came to the throne. But the Perceval baronetcy, now merged tn the Earldom of Egmont. Is the only one in existence which prescribes the grant of a new baronetcy to the eldest son of a baronet, even while the latter is still living. CURSES ON THE HOUSE OF PERCEVAL. As In the case of m».ny of the houses of the British aristocracy, there is a hereditary curse upon the Lords of Egmont. The story goes that *ac fifth Earl of Egmont was appealed to by a widow on his estates X the south of Ireland to postpone her eviction, owing to the fact that her only son was dangerously ill. But the earl was relentless and had the widow and her son thrown out onto the roadside, the sick man dying a couple of hours afterward as the result of exposure and the rough treatment to which he had been subjected. The widow, In her bitter anguish, went down upon her knees by the corpse of her boy and cursed the earl as only an Irish peasant woman can, praying to God that neither he nor any of his successors would ever have a eon given to them to inherit the peer age. It would seem aa if the prayer had been heard, tor the fifth earl died without issue, and was suc ceeded by his cousin, the sixth earl. The latter likewise died childless, and was succeeded by a cousin, the late earl. The latter. In turn, had no children, and was succeeded by his cousin, the present earl, who, separated from his American wife (formerly a barmaid in London) but not divorced, has no offspring, while the marriage of his brother. and next heir to the peersge, who was up to the Boer war a policeman at Johannesburg, has like wise remained childless.

WILLIAM F OWEN. Many pleasant —tnartss are clustered around the name of William W. Dwan. the veteran actor, wb< has just passed away, dying, m this city, on May 4. }n the slaty ■second year of his age- Mr. Owen did not win a great renown In his profession, but. as an eccentric aad low comedian, he manifested exceptional ability, and he established himself in the foremost rank. He was a native of limerick. Ireland, born July S. ISM.— the second son and fifth child of William Henshaw Owen, an Englishman, of Welsh descent, at that time Chief Civil Engineer to the LJmerick Corporation. In 1861 his parents removed to Liverpool, and then his father Jour neyed to America and went to San Francisco, where he died. The boy was trained in various schools, and. in 1890. wta* graduated at Southamp ton College. His mother died tn U6S. He was em ployed, after leaving school, aa a merchant's clerk. In Liverpool, and in 1863 was sent, on a mercanti'e mission, to Montreal. Canada, where presently the failure of the firm that be represented left him without either occupation or resources. He had already become partial to the stage and had made himself acquainted with some of the plays of Shakespeare, and he was secretly wishful to be aa actor. For a while he tried the vocation of writing In a newspaper, and he fixed his eyes on the pul pit,—studying theology, and thinking to become an Episcopalian clergyman. He then tried public read- Ing, In which merciless pursuit he, fortunately failed. In 1866 Mr. Owen came to New York and obtained employment in a mercantile agency. The theatre, however, continued strongly to attract him, and through the precarious, and sometimes ignominious, avenue of amateur theatricals he ultimately made his way to the regular stage. The first part h» ever played was Sir Harcourt Courtly, in 'Xon don Assurance,"— that comedy having been given by an amateur company, of which he was a mem ber, at Budworth's Minstrel Hall. In 84th street. New York. February 22, ISS7. In that year he joined a travelling company, and on December 17, at Salem. Ohio, he began the professional career now terminated by death. He was on the stage for nearly forty years— never figuring as a star, but al ways remaining, as he often Jocosely declared, "a satellite." in a letter to the writer of this record (who Is grateful to have possessed the esteem ot a man so thoroughly good, amiable, and lovable), he Said: "I prefer to play in Shakespeare before any Other author, though I can truthfully say that never In my life have I failed to do my very best with any character assigned to me. 1 love my vocation and I hate the starring system, which I regard as the greatest evil of the stage and the prolific parent of all its ills,— alike unfair to authors, actors, and, did they but know It, to managers. I, would con cede that, perhaps, six people in a century have a right to star, by genius, wonderful Industry, and great natural gifts. The rest of the so-caflad stars are mere commercial adventurers, or the offspring of overweening egotism. I hope to attempt Fal staff, at least ones again, aad to be allowed to play it in my own way. before I shuffle off this mortal coll. and I trust to win your approbation therefor. I have played at least eighty Shakespearian parts, many of them repeatedly, and I can number nearly six hundred other characters which I have studied and appeared in." As an actor Mr. Owen's style sometimes reminded old observers of that of William E. Burton: but as Burton died in 1880 and Mr. Owen was not in America before ISS3, he could not have seen that great comedian, though, of course, he could have read about him, and observed the pictures of him. and absorbed the tradition of his method. (The lineal successor to Burton was Daniel E. Setchell, who was lost In the Trieste, on her voyage from San Francisco, bound to Australia.) But Mr. Owen had seen Blake, and Gilbert, and Mark Smith, and he was a close observer. Moreover, he bad a way of his own. He was earnest. Jovial, burly, em phatic. His humor was unctuous, rather than dry- His play of feature was continuous, flexible, and droll. He could assume a most comical aspect of sapient vacuity, and his vocal Inflections were pe culiarly felicitous. He chiefly valued his persona tion of Falstaff, which had much merit, but he was at Ills best in the less intellectual Sir Toby Belch, the dull, inflated Dogberry, and characters of kin dred humor— alternating between bluff, forcible mirth and pompous aslnlnlty. His voice was loud and penetrating, and he was remarkable for the crash of his laughter. He had much tenderness of feeling, but he did not excel In the expression of It. Nature prescribed his course, which was the prim rose path of fun. He was meant for scenes of In nocent Joy and kindness. His presence made people happy, and he was much beloved. Few men have been so popular In the dramatic profession His life was one of Integrity, Industry, and honor: he bore with exemplary patience certain bitter troubles that came upon htm. toward the last: and his death has left a void that will long ba grievously felt.
