•canfcy caused by the removal of Rev. W.
(' McClnre from the bonnds of the pre----
bytery. Rev. J. R Coulter, < f Scruh-j
grass, and J. Redic, of Butler. werd
appointed a committee to represent tho
presbytery in the coming centennial cel-j
el ration of Butler county.
The death of Charles M. Covert, son
of Elder Milton Covert,of Plains church;
and a candidate for the ministry under
the care of this presbytery, was report
ed lat Rev. H. E. Snyder of Butler
I HiJentiate J. E. Milter was received!
from Allegheny presbytery and was ten
dered a full from the congregations at;
Bruin, Petrolia and Fairview. On ac-5
count of an irregularity in the Fairview
twill, the matter was tabled until the
June meeting, at which time Sir. Miller
will be ordainod. j
The report ok pasfors' salaries was the
best in 10 years. Most of the congre
gations were paid up in full to the end
of the la< quarter, and those in arrears
were only for small amounts,
At the night session some members
spoke freely on the proposed overture to
tiie general assembly asking that the
t< mire of office of the stated clerk of
"that body be fixed ot five years, and his
s dary at <3.000 pef year. J
The complaint; i.s not made against
Dr. Rdberts as au officer* so much as
against the manner in which his salary
has been raised from $"2,000 to #4.000
and the spirit of indifference in which
protests have been treated.
One member said when he raado a
protest to the committee last year about
the size of the salary, be was told tluit
he should be thankful that it was not
made $5,000. Thi* presbytery, said
another, has been so economical that it
could only pay half the delegate's ex
penses to the synod, while they permit
Dr. Roberts to rob us. The overture
was passed.
Another knotty problem before the
presbytery was the request of Plains
church to have its union with Crest

year ago, resulting in the oj
Rev. H. E. Snyder, the pastor, and a
commissioner of the Plains church
stated that the trouble wofild bjp serious

adjustment had been reached at the ad
journing hour but next morning Rev.

'One of Our Girls," the comedy that
Henrietta Crosman will present to local
playgoers at the Park, April 30, is hail
ed everywhere as Ihe best play that
Brnnson Howard ever wrote. ThW is
certainly praise, for Mr. Howard
is recognized as tlio greatest living
American playwright, and has written
more successes than any other one man.
notably "Shenandoah", "The Henrietta"
■The Banker's Daughter", "Young Mrs.
Winthrop", "Aristocracy", and a score
of others almost equally well known.
In proof of the merit of Miss Gros
irinn's latest success, "One of Our Girls"
was played continonsly for an entire
year at the Lyceum Theatre 111 Now
York, which is almost the record for
longrnns in the Metropolis,and cert ain
ly the longest that one of Bronson How
ard's plays ever enjoyed.
