ACTION BY PRESBYTERY
Sale oi Grace Street Presbyterian
to lie Considered at Next
Meeting.
!"('?.-1 Hanover Presbytery met In the
Presbyterian publishing house In this
city yesterday to consider the ques?
tion of dissolving the pastoral relation
existing between Rev; .1. II. 1 lender
lite and the Kredcrlcksburg Presbyte?
rian Church. After full and careful
consideration the presbytery declined
to do ao. anil .Mr. Ilenderllte will ro
main In Krtiderlckshurg.
The Maryland Avenue Church, of
Raltlmore, Md., hud called Mr. Heu
dcrllte to become Its pastor, to uuc
ceed Rev. D. M. Douglas, who a few
months ago resigned the pastorate of
that church to accept the presidency
of the Presbyterian College of South
Carolina at Clinton
Thc action and the wishes of the
Maryland Avenue Church were pre?
sented by James H. Hmltli, and J. A.
Johpston ' and iJr. Ryiand O. Sadler,
commissioners, sent by the church to
prosecute the call und urge the pres?
bytery to let Mr. Ilenderlltc go to the
Monumental City. They told of the
unanimity of the church In making the
iall and Its earnest desire to have Mr.
Ilenderlite to become their pastor.
They spoke of the needs of their j
church and of the great work to bo
done there. They said that there ,
are 35.OO0 Virginians In Baltimore
and many thotrSands of other South- ]
erners. The church needs a strong j
Southern man that It may reach these ]
people and br'nK them Into Its mem- |
hershlp. They felt that Mr. If ender- |
lite wan lust the man for this work, j
The Krederlcksburg Church wan rep- I
re**nted by S W. Somervllle and Dr.
.1 N. Barney. They told of the good
work that Mr. Ilenderlltc hud dono In |
I'rederlckshurg during the four years j
he had been there, and said that It j
was not onlv the unanimous desire of
all the members of the Presbyterian
Church that he should remain, but that
all the Christian people of the c'ly
wanted htm to stay there. Thoy told '
rIfo of tho good work he la doing and '
the great Influence he la exerting In !
the Home and School, an institution
for the rare of orphans of ministers,
and in the Froderleksburg College.
Both sides were so well presented
that many metiiL*rs of the presbytery

had difficulty In deciding which way]
to vote. Mr. Ilenderllte said that ha;
felt, that If It were only a question 1
between the two' churc hes he would |
leel that he ought to go to Baltimore.!
But because of his relation to the In-j
stltutlons Just mentioned ho wanted toj
have the advice of the presbytery, and'
would leave the matter to bo decided)
by that body.
Vote Stood M to a.
When the vote was tahen it showed |
that of those present eight members of j
the presbytery were opposed to his go- J
lug, while six were willing for him to i
go. But when the vote waa announced ;
all seemed glad thut he was not to;
move out of the hounds of the pres
bytery. The Baltimore men were very .
much disappointed, but took their de- i
feat very gracefully. The Fredericks-1
burg men were very Jubllunt over their
success In holding their pastor.

MIJou?"The Hrnl Girl," matinee And!
night.
-Ihr Girl of the tioldru West."
I Since "Tho Girl of the Golden West" j
I was tlrst sung there have been ohlelly j
I two objections offered and urged by j
! many of the critics against it?flrst, j
j that the music In Itself docs not'
i create tho proper atmosphere. and.;
i second, that the'score Is not tuneful, j
As to the flrst, I, unfortunately, waai
never in a gold mining camp In 1840
or 1850. so that this criticism v. Ill not'
be combated; as to the second, it wlll|
be recalled that a German musician
wrote a number of operas, none of!
which Is remarkable for Us tuneful-j
ness, yet all of which are considered
more ' or less meritorious; Indeed, to;
quote Dr. Walter II. Page, "he created:
a new heaven for those who hear."
To the ear of even the average ama- \
\ tour musician, however, Henry W.{
Savage's presentation of Puccini's i
opera at the Academy of Music yes-!
terday offered hours of sheer delight,
both in the afternoon and in the
evening. True, there was nothing to.
whistle as ono came out of the house,]
nothihg for the audience to hum with
the singers, and, for that reason,
I there was possibly some disappoint?
ment to somo of tho patrons of the.
theatre, but, with Ub dramatic poworl
and virility, and tremendous orches-'
tral effect.", the opera made a deep Im-1
presslon upon those who looked andi
listened earnestly and seriously. In-1
deed, that may be the keynote to it*'
full enjoyment. It is not of the light I
frothy character that may bo heard.'
appreciated and enjoyed by those who,
listen carelessly during pauses in
conversation, "but requires undivided;
attention, both to words and music !
For certainly the music fits, curries)
out tho meaning of. both the words
and action of tfcc drama?omitting al*|
mention of atmospheric conditions
surrounding a mining camp in Call-!
fornla more than half a century ugo j
And, besides the tense dramatic quail- I
ties of the opera and Its wonderful1
orchestra'llon, there arc muny beaull- I
ful passages. In the very first few j
moments of the performance, occurs
the melodious song of tho camp mln-|
strel. accompanied by the boU voices of
the chorus; a llttlo later, the wretch-!
ed Larkens bursts out into the pathos'
of his homesick longing, with the j
miners humming after him; again,
when the Girl sings the bit, "Purge;
me with hyssop und I shall be clean,"1
the music Is simple and quiet and
bcuutiful. Then Ranee's story, sung
to the Girl, and her own, sung to him,
are. both impressive; the one, he; .1.
and bitter, the other, Joyous and bril?
liant. And when the Girl's dawning
love for Johnson breaks Into light up-i
on her. both voice and orchestra rise1
to heights of soaring beauty, soften-1
lng and diminishing down to the short,
simple recitative, "He said I havo the
face of an angel."
In the second act the Girl sings with
lilting, racing charm of her happy life
in the mountains, 'with. supreme pas?
sion, when she gives her flrst kiss to
the outlaw, and with bitter hatred. In
[ her contest with Ranee. Indeed, It
! would be hard to conceive anything
more enthralling* (not "earth-roiling")
than Gils entire act, following closely,
as It docs, the Bolasco drama to the
very end, when the curtain falls upon
the glad cry, "He's mine!"
In the third and last act, which Is
different from that of the drama, not
only does the chorus have an oppor?
tunity to sing music most melodious,
not only does the Girl come on with a
musical cry as stirring as that of the
I Valkyrie, and plead with the rough
miners In phrases as lovely as any In
I "Madame Butterfly," singing an obll
gato to the chorus, which swells to a
mighty volume of tone, but there oc?
curs an aria of Incomparable beauty
and dignity?beginning wlth the words,
"Let her bolieve that I have gained
my freedom"?bo beautiful that both
In the afternoon and evening the au?
dience could not refrain from a spon?
taneous outburst of applause at Its
conclusion.
The orchestration is nothing short
of marvelous. Modernized to the last
possible degree in Instrumentation, Its
wonderful harmonies and powerful dis?
sonances, as well as the simpler uso of
drums, brass, wood und strings, ex?
pressed and conveyed every emotion,
evory thought, and Intensified every bit
of action. From the thunder of the
! tympanl during the storm, tho strident
horns throughout the fight between
Rauce and Sonora, to tho pizzicato of
the bass strings during the excitement
of the game for Johnson's life, every
Instrument was written In by a master
hand. In the Bftern'oon Mr. Sodero
conducted wltn at>illty and accuracy,
but In the evening Giorgio Polacco, the
premier conductor of ,the organization,
?Hied the fifty men under him with the
enthusiasm that was his, led them and
his singers with the "sacred lire" that
Is In him, and swayed them until the
performance was artistic, thrilling and
almoat terrific In Its dramatic tense?
ness.
In the afternoon Ivy Scott, Savage's
only American prlma donna with this
production, sang the part of the Girl
in a voice of much beauty of quality,
and played it exceedingly well, giving
altogether a. moat satisfactory per?
formance. Henri Barron sang Johnson
fairly well, though his voice is not
large.
William Beok. displayed a ringing
baritone, especially In the upper regis?
ter, as the sheriff, but played uneasily.
The. role of the squaw,- sung by Edmee
de Dreux at both performances, Is un?
important, if not unploasing.
In tho evening, wo heard what was,
perhaps, tho best singing cast that tho
production possesses. Lulsa Villanl,
as tho Girl, sang so brilliantly and
played, with so much' flro that her
walk and accent pnftsed almost un?
noticed?her vojee" la clear, ringing :ind
smooth, and she uses It with tho ut?
most prodigality. Ellison van Moose,
who waH brought on from Chicago for
this performance largely becatiso of
hia great popularity In Richmond, song
with a fervor, volume and perfection
of tone that made us grateful to the
? management for. living given ,.ub *ha

his playing of the sombre part assigned
