Cardinal Dougherty occupied a box The opera was well sung, tho Misses Woerner and Coraerford and Messrs. Wlzla, MacLellan and Harris especially distinguishing themselves in the leading roles. The opera is ono of melody and therefore particularly adapted for non professional performances, as the en sembles, the real test of the homo gtniousness of nn operatic company, nre relatively easy and the main burden Is in the solos of the principals, who last evening were fully able in voice and stago presence to do justice to their roles. The chorus was good and the stage settings admirable. It Is truo that there were occasional slips, as there must bo in every amateur performance, but nothing more serious than a slight delaying of the action oc curred, and these were speedily cor rected by the Hov. William S. Murphy, the conductor, who not only directed the music with taste and judgment, but played a leading part in the stage ac tion as well.

ARHombllns shortly after 10 o'clock this morning nt the Meeting House, riftconth and Itace streets, Friends found Sarah Orlicom and Morgan Hunting acting jointly ns rlcrks. The experiment in sex equality, de rided on yesterday, seemed to attract unusual attention nt first, but an the routine of the meeting rolled on pres ence of women apparently passed unno ticed. Newly ndmitted members of tho session took little part In the dis cussions, npparcntly bcifig willing to accept their presence in the body as iiincicnt, leaving most ot the speak Inc to the men. Prohibition cropped up early in the session when a letter from the Dublin Friends was reud asking a report on the progress and efficacy of the prohibition law in tho United States. A reply was framed after a short discussion in which the Irish were told that it was too early to pass Bound judgment upon the prohibition law. Tlmt savlDgB accounts have increased generally throughout the country and tbnt crime has decreased noticeably In many hitherto wet sections was pointed out. At the same tlrao it wns admitted In the reply there had been a failure to enforce the law strictly in many sec tions of the country. "The law will have to have n longer and more severo test before it can be shed completed," the letter conrluded. "Rut. on the whole, it is generally ad mitted banning of liquor has been making for better conditions wherever it has been enforced." Reports were read from the Friends in China, Canada, Australia and Ire land. Joseph E. Piatt, of the Friends' Man churian mission, gave a vivid descrip tion of the suffering in China. "So stricken are the Chinese," he said, "that parents are offering their children for sule nt $1 each. I saw one basket of five babies being hawked about at this price." Dr. O. O. .Tanny, of Baltimoro, who recently returned from Ireland, declared that the sentiment of Friends in Dublin, is that England should withdraw its armed forces and permit the Irish to settle their own troubles.

Expansion of cables controlled by American capital must be facilitated If the Unltod States is to hold a dominant position in world trade, Newcomb Carl ton, prcsldoht of the Western Union Telegraph Co., declared today before the House commerce committee, at the opening of the hearings on Senate bill granting the President authority to con trol cable landings. Ho added that the government must co-operate with such enterprise, not block It, as he charged the Wilson administration did in "pre venting by force" the landing at Miami, Fla., of a Western Union cable from the Barbadocs. The witness objected to the Senate measure because it "would jrlvo subor dinates; of the President" arbitrary con trol over cables. He proposed enact ment of a bill giving tho secretaries of state and commerce and tho postmaster general, as a commission, control over cables. Such a management would be satisfactory to companies anxious to de velop tbeir facilities, he declared.
