The Pirn Begins,
The announcement that the Lake Erie & Western would, on Saturday and Sunday night, run a $3.50 excursion to Chicago created considerable commotion in local passenger circles. The charge is made that "Young Daly" has made a •weeping reduction in rateB, and that this excursion will be the cause of rate demoralization. The rate from Indianapolis to Chicago and return by all rail routes is $8. This excursion is for less than half that sum, and as these excursions will be continued it can be seen that the lines in the Central Traffic Association will have to do something or the lake and rail route will carry most of the people. "We aro not cutting rates," said one of the Lake Erie & Western officials. "We are only giving the people a cheap ride."
The New Monon has a line via Michigan City, and it will compete with the Lake Erie & Western.". If the Big Four expects to use its lake route it, too, must ceme to cheap prices. The Pennsylvania, which has no lake route, may make a lovr all-rail rate.—Indianapolis Newa.

LA PEABL'S OPENING,
An Auspicious Event Attendod with Great Suceess—A Biff Show. The grand opening of J. H. LaPearl's big 10 and 20 cent railroad shows and trained animal exhibition last Monday was attended with no small degree of pomp. For several wo?ks past Mr. LaPearl's large gymnasium and winter quarters on Spring strent has been one of the busiest
placeB
in the city. New
ward-robes and tents were being made, new animals were bejng trained, actorB and actresses were rehearsing almost constantly, while Prof. Vandercook's celebrated Marine band
waB
undergoing
the moBt rigid training. Monday night, despite .the miserable weather, the mammoth new canopy was packed to the entrance and standing room was at a premium. The entertainment began with a concert by a band of seventeen Bkilled musicians, including such well kuown artists as Vandercook, Hennessy and others, whose efforts were greeted with rounds of applause. The show opened with Prof. Asbey and wife, the living models, in reproductions of ancient statuary and modern sculpture. The act is an entirely new departure in the circus business, but proved both interesting and instructive. This was followed by Messrs. Vanderson, Aymar and McDonald in wonderful feats on the horizontal bars, and then Billy Pearl sang the clown's comic song entitled, "I Couldn't." Billy is all right and kept the audience continually in a roar. Perhaps the most wonderful act of the evening were the
leapB
for life,
a distance of forty feet, by the three Lafearls, little Roy, aged 6, Harry, aged 8 yearB, and Miss Rosa. These are the youneest people in the circus profession and their marvelous act must be Been to be appreciated. Johnny Beers, in fmts of contortion is truly a wonder and stands unexcelled in his class. Mr. and Mrs. Adair secured several rounds of applause by their difficult bamboo perch act and brought down the audience by their daring feats and drops on the double trapeze. These people have the finest ward-robe ever seen in tho city.
Prof. Ed Long does a neat turn with his trick pony, Dandy. While Mr. Long has had the animal in training but four weeks he executed many remarkable feats that greatly pleased the little ones. His troupe of educated dogB is among the best on the road and form quite an attraction to the big show.
Miss Rosa Carman justly merits the title, "Queen of the mid-air." Her acts upon the swinging trapeze, flying perch and dangling rings are nothing short of marvelous. There were many more interesting acts, such as the funny clown stilt act of Adair and Pearl, Prof. Long's riding dog Jack, the Chinese adt of Beers, Vanderson and Marion, and last but not least, the wonderful impailment act of the Asbeya, All of these are worthy of eapecial mention but space forbids. It ia beyond all argument that Mr. LaPearl haa the largest and beat show for the money now traveling. It is composed of ladiea and gentlemen in every aenae that term implies. Mr. LaPearl and family made many friends during their stay here all of whom have nothing but best wishes for their success. Their route lies through Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, returning here about October 1st for the winter. Long live LaPearl!

Sneak Thieves at Work.
During the temporary absence of the family Monday afternoon sneak thieves entered the residence of Ed Blankenship, on oast Chestnut street, and stolo two pocket books, one containing $105 and the other $30. They also took a small band ring, a family heirloom. The ring had been given Mrs. Blankenship by her mother 26 years ago and had been in the family 45 years. The loas of the ring was more keenly felt than the loss of the money. There is no clue to the pilferers.
