MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC REVIEW. local Attractions, Many in Number and Varied in Quality—Notes of the Stage. Tho Week’s Theatrical Attractions. The attractions at city theaters this week .are numerous and varied. All the houses will be i open for the entire week. At English's tho attraction will be Mills, Bice & Barton's Bijou seventeen in number, who will give (performances nightly, and matinees on Tuesday, and Saturday, at cheap prices, 10, 13, *25 and 35 cents.

Bixbyis manager. Mr. C. W. Couldock, the veteran actor, still plays Dunstan, with Miss Belle Archer as Hazel, Miss Sidney Cowell as Dolly Dutton, and Miss Kate Tousey (Mrs. Kate Morris, of this city,) as Clara. The company is said to give a thoroughly even performance of the play. On Thursday night Mr. Dion Boucicault will . make his reapnearance here, after an absence of several years, in his own play “TheShaughraun,” I in the part of Conn, which he has played several thousand times.

The last two days of the week the Grand will be occupied by Callender’s Georgia Minstrels, who will play at cheap prices. They include Billy Kersands. Basil Robinson, Wallace King, Dick ■ Little, Billy Green, and nearly all the well known colored performers in the country. The principal attraction at the Zoo this week will be Sid C. Franco, in his sensational drama, “Marked for Life.” , In addition there will be an olio, by good specialty performers. OPENING OF TirE NEW MTTSEUM. The Park Theater yesterday was filled with carpenters, painters and upholsterers, who are fitting it up in the most approved style for its opening to-morrow night as the “Monarch Museum,” under the management of Drew & Cos., who are interested in all the leading museums in the West, this connection enabling them to get the very best of attractions. It is their intention to run the museum as a high-toned place of amusement, and they have come to stay, as they have a two-vears’ lease on the building. The general price of admission, will be ten cents. The lower floor will be devoted to the curiosities, and above, theatrical performances will be given hourly, afternoon and evening. The opening will be to-morrow night, and the list of attractions includes Major Tot. who is said to be twenty-one years old and weighs only eight pounds; Miss Lizzie Sturgeon, the pedestrial pianist, the Buddhist monks and Burmese tattoed dwarfs, loaned by P. T. Barman; a pin machine in full operation, the flying foxes, etc. For the theatrnm the people engaged are Balbrega, the medium, the Rhinehart children, Baby Ralston, Grace Stanley, Hefferman and McDonald, well known Irish comedians, the Beaumonts, musical artists, and others. ATTRACTIONS AT THE RINKS. All of tho skating rinks are open, afternoon and evening, and patronage is fairly good. At the Meridian Rink, Messrs Bailey and Hacker, two renowned skaters, of Providence, R. 1., will appear all week. At the College-avenue Rink there will be the first fancy dress carnival of the season, on Friday night, and the Wigwam Rink will have especiai attractions 1 almost every night during the week. Prince Wells, of Louisville, gave an exhibition of bicycle riding at the College-avenue Rink,last night, which was loudly applauded by a large audience. By request, he will continue his exhibitions to-morrow and Wednesday evenings. Miss Carrie Gilmore, of Boston* has proved to the patrons of the Meridian Rink, during the past week, that she lias justly earned her laurels as the cluunpion lady skater of tho country. Her performance upon rollers is the most perfect embodiment of grace and beauty, and her ap pearance has been a pleasure to all who have witnessed her figures.

Notes of the Stage* David Wheeler, of this city, is assistant manager of the Clara Morris combination. John A. Stevens has been playing “Richelieu’’ in New York. There are some things even worse than Cleveland’s election. “Young Mrs. Winthron’’ has been brought out at the Court Theater, London, and private cablegrams declare that it has made a decided success. It is suggested that in case of fire in a variety theater, and it is desirable for the audience to leave without undue excitement, the manager should let the serio-comic begin a recitation. Mrs. Langtry has made a great hit as Pauline in the “Lady of Lyons,’’ Coghlan being Claude. The critics unite in the opinion that it is the best thing in the theatrical line she has yet attempted. There is a difference between cities. In Chicago Harry Lee’s Ipanoff to Miss Davenport’s Fedora was very highly praised by the critics. In New York it is ruthlessly condemned. Mr. Lee ought to play the part well, for he is one of the best general actors iu the profession. A real live Russian baroness will shortly condescend to improve the American mind by appearing in New York as Camille. Her name in full is Her Excellency the Baroness Nadia de Ratchkoff, and it is faintly whispered that she speaks zee Ingleesh as she is spoke. Mme. Adelaide Ristori will appear at the Grand Opera house one night only, on the 23th inst, in her greatest character, “Elizabeth, Queen of England.” Her performance will be in English, and the company supporting her has been selected from the leading London theaters, as well as from John McCullough’s company, and will be under the management of Brooks & Dickson. Seats will be on sale next Thursday. Miss Laura E. Clancey, a sister of the late Yenic Clancey, died in Baltimore, last Monday, of consumption, after a long illness, during which she was supported by the Actors’ Fund Association, who will also pay her funeral expenses. She was a very talented young actress, and is best known in Indianapolis from having been the leading support of Frank Mayo for sev eral seasons. She was the daughter of Charles R> Gardner, the theatrical manager. Miss Clara Morris will appear at the Grand Opera-house on Wednesday and Thursday evenings, Nov. 26 and 27, in “Miss Mniton” and “Article 47.” Her appearance in this city last season was near the dose of a long and fatiguing tour. This time her engagement occurs in the fourth week of her present season, with an interval of one week in which to rest. She is said to be in excellent health, and is therefore likely to be seen at her best Her company includes Mr. Frederic Bryton and other well-known people. In an interview in Philadelphia, Madame Bistort said: “Sara Bernhardt seems to think that ‘Macbeth’ is a melodrama. She plays it in a blood-curdling manner, rushing about the stage like a mad woman. It is more like comedy than tragedy. While l was at the play in London, a French lady in the audience seemed very much Impressed by Sara Bernhardt's acting. During an animated conversation with her companion, I beard her say: ‘The plot of “Macbeth” was taken from an English novel.’ That was a French ■‘dea of Shakspcare.” “The Georgia’s Wonder’s” Performance. A tastefully dressed young lady, with an ataractive face and modest ways, displayed her physical prowess before an audience of 200 people at English’s last night. It was Miss Lulu Luray, “the Georgia wonder,’’ so called, who pushed strong men all about the stage with one hand, which she placed against umbrellas, canes, end other artielos which they tried to hold still. .Her most difficult act was to prevent four men *rom forcing to the floor by main strength an rdinary chair against which her hands were

simply placed, but it was not clutched. Her performance Is similar to that of Lulu Hurst, and possibly more wonderful. Her power may be in some hidden agency, hut it is more likely a wonderful development of physical strength, for she is not a large woman.

He is awarded the first prize for having his section in best condition of any between Pittsburg and Indianapolis, his section being known as the Charlottesville section, and he is, as well, given, in the line of promotion, supervision of the new yards at Indianapolis. The change on the Vanda Tia, Logansport division, by which through trains are put on between Terre Haute and South Bend, will necessitate tlie removal from Logansport of quite a number of employes of the road. Conductors Murray, Cassell and Knapp and several trainmen will be compelled to make their headquarters either at the north or the south end of the road. The death of “Tom DeWitt,” a locomotive engineer at Binghamton, last week, has called for special attention in the press of New York. He was noted for many daring exploits, ami had passed safely through many collisions, discharg mg his duties always with fearless courage and winning the respect of the public generally. Ho was prominently identified with several railway societies. Oscar Vanderbilt, who represents tho North Pacific in this section, with headquarters at Indianapolis, yesterday received a letter from J. W. Crosbie. San Fernando, Trinidad, West Indies, in which he says: “I notice that the Journal mentions, favorably, a book published by the Northern Pacific road, entitled, ‘The Wonderful Land of the World.’ Please send me a.copy, with bill therefor, auu I will remit promptly.” Manager McCrea, of tho Pennsylvania lines, issues a circular announcing that Mr. William Swanston has been appointed master mechanic of the C., Sfl.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 16, 1834.

IMPORTERS’ recollections: Tlie reporters were seated around the grate in the local editor’s ante-room, and the conversation turned upon interviews and the interviewed. “Do you remember Pat Bolan, the one-armed man who shot and killed Dan Mahoney, several years ago?” inquired one of the reporters. “Well, T shall never forget him if I live a thousand years. He was arrested immediately after firing the fatal shot, and a few minutes later I saw him at the station-house. As he placed his face against tho bars I thought I never before saw so wild and terrible a human eye. Even now, if I close my eyes.it rises before me, enormous, glow ing and full of terror.” “Tho worst pair of eyes I ever saw,” said another of the force, “were those of Dick Hollywood, the feather-weight prize-fighter, who used to keep a saloon on South Illinois street. It was in 1877 or 1878. Dick went to Lufayetto, attended a county fair there, and brought the eyes back with him. He told me how it happened. Somebody understood that he was an ex-prize-fighter and about a dozen of them, that Lafayette might have tlie honor of vanquishing so redoubtable a person, jumped upon him at once. There was not a square inch upon Dick's body, face and head included, that was not beaten black and blue. As to his eyes, there was absolutely no white in them, the blood vessels in those orbs having been broken and all the white being turned'to the most sanguinary red.” “The handsomest pair of crimiual eyes I ever encountered,” said the first reporter, “were those of Guetig, the murderer of Mary McGlew. I stood within two feet of him as he was brought into the jail office five minutes before his execution. His eyes were black as sloes and looked as untroubled as a saint’s. 1 suppose that’s a proper comparison. I think I’vo seen saints’ eyes somewhere in a picture. He had been shaved, except his mustache, while his hair was daintily combed. His features, when undisturbed by passion, were handsome. I remember as I looked upon him, then, within five minutes of eternity, that I thought him the handsomest man I had ever seen.” “Speaking of eyes,” said the political reporter, whose occupation is now like Othello's, “I fervently prayed—no. not prayed, hoped— Henry Ward Beecher's light blue orbs might be blackened, metaphorically, in the political mill just closed, but it was not to bo. I had the pleasure, no great while ago. of dining with Mr. Beecher at the Denison Hotel. He is a delightful table-talker, and strewed good things ail through the repast, from soup to walnuts. The old gentlemans eyes are thick-lidded, like Blaine’s and Butler s, full and pursy beneath, with the foxiest lot of wrinkles ever burined into a human face. He was here then on a lecturing tour. I’m not much in the way of prophecy, but I’ll wager a Blaine and Logan campaign hat that Mr. Beecher's next tour, and it will be made this winter, will be through the South, where they use to “ Oh, for a shot at a Yankee school-teacher, And, oh, for a crack at oidGreeley and Beecher.’ “Geoigo Harding’s eye was not large, but it was expressive, and at times fairly danced with humor. One day he met Enos B. Reed, of the People. ‘I saw a good thing in your paper this week,’ said Harding, with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. ‘What was ill’ inquired Reed,, evidently much pleased with the autiepatod compliment ‘A can of oysters,’ said Harding, and passed on. ” “Youknow how secretive Harding was about news,” said another of the circle;, “that he never communicated anything, but saved everything for his own paper. When he came back from his Mexican trip I went to see him*. He was in rare good humor and. talked delightfully about the things he had seen, particularly the monetary system of the country. After the conversation I went at once and wrote an interview with him and published it. He was greatly chagrined, as he was hoarding all the material he had gathered for his own use; but he gracefully acknowledged the scoop.” “The only complete failure 1 ever made in an interview,” said one of the listeners, ‘%asin 1877. It was while the appointment of a bishop for the Catholic diocese of Vincennes was being considered, and all the papers were eager to get the first information concerning the person who would be appointed. Archbishop Purcell, of Cincinnati, came here to the bishop's house, and I was dispatched to interview him. The venerable prelate gave me a hospitable welcome and requested me to draw a chair near to the fire where he was toasting his slipp rs. The reporter stated the object of his visit; he desired to*know who would be the successor of the late Bishop Do St. Palais. ‘And so,’ said his grace, ‘you are a reporter. Oh, I know nearly all the gentlemen of your guild in. my own city. What great changes have taken place in Indiana. I remember my visit to Vincennes in 1836 ta assist in the eonseerc* ion of Bishop Brute,’ and so the Archbishop talked on. Any attempt to bring him to the subject only served to launch him upon another stream of reminiscence. Ho talked delightfully, with frequent anecdotes and a neat vein of humor, but. like the Prince of Serendib, in sorrow and shame, the reporter departed as sad as he came. “By tho way, Bishop Chatard is not an easy man to interview, unless he chooses to be. But he has the pleasantest way of withholding the specific information you may be after of any one I know. Like Archbishop Purcell, he talks, but you cannot lead him, and if you do not get what you went after you are almost certain to get something that will readily work up into an interesting interview.” Said the political reporter: “I interviewed Governor Hendricks four years ago, immediately after tho nomination of General Haneock at Cincinnati. I have interviewed him on many occasions, but that was the first time I ever saw him flurried or ungeniaL He is usually very ready in- expressing himself, but it took him fully twenty minutes to give me half as many lines expressing his complete satisfaction with the nomination. He finally said it, said it gracefully, but really he didn’t look it. The other day, immediately after the election, I interviewed him again. He was exceedingly prompt and happy on the latter occasion. ”

THE CHOLERA. PLAGUE. Arrangements to Prevent Its Eutry IleroMinister Morton’s Views. New York Special to Chicago Times. There is a good deal of suppressed alarm felt in this city over the rapid spread of the cholera epidemic in Paris. Stringent measures are being quietly taken to prevent, if possible, the dread scourge gaining a foothold in this port. The following letter, signed by several prominent physicians of this city, among whom are Prof. John C. Flint, Dormeus, of the City College, and W<eisse, has been addressed to Hon. Hugh McCulloch, Secretary of the Treasury at Washington: "We, tlie undersigned,recognizing the fact that, there is great danger of the introduction, of Asiatic cholera into the United States through the medium of old rags imported into, the country and coining from European ports, do hereby respectfully suggest and urge upon you the necessity of immediate and decisive action in reference thereto. We are promoted thus to appeal to you because of the recent removal of restriction on the importation of old rags, and it is our firm belief that this threatened danger can only be averted by the most thorough and systematic disinfecting of old rags coming from any and all European ports. ” Sanitary Superintendent Day said to day fur thor precautions had been taken at quarantine to prevent the introduction of cholera. Rags are not landed without a declaration, signed before an American consul, showing that they are not from any infected port. Any arriving from infected ports are held at quarantine. Dr. Frank FT. Hamilton, one of the surgeons who attended Garfield, .and one of the signers of the petition asking that no rags be allowed to enter this port untii they have been disinfected, was asked: “What are the probabilities of having cholera here next summer?” “Judging,” he said, “from history and causes of epidemics, it is probable that wo shall have it.” “If we do, is it likely that it will boas severe as the epidemic in Paris?” “This city is situated more favorably to pre vent the spread of an epidemic than probably any other city of its size in the world. It has a great river on each side, which can receive the sewage of the city without being rendered in the least impure. It is sufficiently elevated for drainage, and has straight and incomparably wide streets. There is, besides, Foss extreme poverty than in probably any other city in the world. Considering these facts, I see no reason why wo should suffer much. It is for these reason, probably, and owing to the intelligence and energy of an experienced board of health, that we have enjoyed at all times at comparative exemption, from infectious and epidemic diseases. This applies especially to tho various outbreaks of cholera which have from time to time occurred in this city, in all of which the disease has been confined to the smallest limit. Judging from the past, we ought to have no serious apprehension for the future.” • What are the-most important means for pro tection or disinfection?” “Cleanliness,” said tho Doctor, decidedly. “This must be observed about the premises and about the person, and stands first in order as a means of protection. This cleanliness should be absolute; every cellar should be clean and dry. Nowhere should dirt bo allowed to accumulate. Light and air are next in point as disinfectants. There should not boa dark place in the house or in the alleys. After that, in order, are the ordinary chemical disinfectants: but they never should be used to cover up filth.” “fs cholera equally fatal in all places?*’ “By no mean*. Cholera, like other opidemiq diseases, requires a soil, and a low. humid niiu filthy atmosphere are tts natural nabitat. Elevated positions, other things boing equal, are always comparatively safe. Tn such places it will never assume an epidemic form?” “Do you think the disease is likely to bo disseminated by the importation of rags?” “Yes, unless the bales are thoroughly disinfected.” “Is the cholera likely to visit us this year?” “Previous epidemics have usually presented themselves during the warm weather. The chances are, therefore, against its appearance this winter. Levi P. Morton, United States minister to France, was asked to-day whether he had changed his plan of returning soon to bis post on account of tho cholera in Paris. He said: “I shall sail on the Umbria on Wednesday next. I

intended to go on the Normandie, but < hanged because a number of friends are on the Uinbr a. I have no apprehension on account of the chol ore. It is confined to the squalid and poorest districts of Paris.*’ “Is your family still in Paris?” “Yes. I cabled to Mrs. Morton a few days ago asking her if she was afraid, and she an swered that she was not. Other gentlemen have received dispatches from their families to tho same effect.” “Where is the resident American population in Pans?” ‘Til the Champs Elysces, near tho Arc de Triomphe. It is high, ground, with a dry, sandy soil, good water, and a good drainage. I don’t think there will bo any danger there. The colo ny is much smaller than it was ten or fifteen years ago. It was much larger in the summer when the cholera first appeared in France. That frightened them a little at first, but they soon got over it. I don’t think there will be any panic now.” “Will Mrs. Morton remain there until your arrival?” “Yes, she says she has no anxiety.” MARRIED TO TIIS HOUSEKEEPER. Mr. Horace P. Weddell, the Cleveland Hanker, Heroines Insanely Mad. Cleveland Special. Society was excited to-day by the announcement that Horace P. Weddell, the banker, who assaulted S. T. Everett on Wednesday, had, Oct. 6, married Mary Timmerman, his housekeeper. The town is talking of the affair and his children have left the homestead, never to return. Mary Timmerman is a German woman, forty five years old, and has been in the Weddell family as nurse and housekeeper for twenty-five-years. There is a romance connected with the family. The Weddells have always been leaders in society here, are well known throughout the State, and were pioneers in northern Ohio history. Horace LI Weddell thirty years ago was a bright young fellow, very rich, but of domestic tastes. In 1856 he met a 31iss Welch, of a small town in Maine. She was visiting friends of his and was handsome and high-spirited; but poor. Horace Weddell fell in love with and married her. She as pi red to lead in society, he loved his home. She wanted the banker to leave the old, rambling homestead and build on Euclid avenue. Her husband refused! and was stanch in his refusal. Three children were born, and Mary Timmerman nursed' them. Horace Weddell and his wife lived together for twelve years. One day Weddell and his wife had a more bitter quarrel than usual She drew a knife, .stabbed ber husband in tlie breast, and left tho home and city. She took her children, hurried to New York, and thence by steamer to Europe. This was in 1868, and she never returned. Last June she died among her children in Florence, Italy, .and was buried there. During her stay in Europe Weddell continuously honored her drafts, and the expense is said to have been $600,000. The children were brought up with antiAmerican ideas. and this enraged their father. Tho housekeeper was installed as mistress of tho house. The foreign airs of a son and daughter, who visited their father three years ago, separated them from him, and when they objected to Miss Timmerman’s presence and authority in tho house, they were curtly told to go to their mother. They did, but'when she died all three children came home again. Since their return tlie house has been torn asunder by quarrels, and, together with his financial trouble, Horace P. Weddell lias been driven nearly mad. His assault on S. T. Everett was cause by derangement consequent to his trouble. Tlie morning that lie assaulted Everett the children- had demanded Miss Timmerman s banishment, and a scene had come out of their father’s refusal to send away his wife, for she was such, though everybody was in the dark. The children feared the loss of the estate through the housekeeper’s influence, and were thus making war on her to drive her out After one scene. Oct. 5. Weddell sent his housekeeper to Meadville, Pa., and followed, in company with Judge Rufus P. Ranney and F. A. Sterling, the following day. There the Rev. Richard Craig head married Horace P. Weddell and Mary Tim merman. This afternoon the town was informed of the marriage by a notice in the Herald. The children left the house, never to return, they say. They say their father is mad, and may move upon him by a legal route.

Inferior Castile Soap. Edinburg Review. A crusade has been started bv this paper against castile soap. It says that there is very little doubt that even tho best brands of white castile soap are madefrom rancid olive oil, which, being of too poor a quality for table use, is used for making soup. The best imported castile soap costs the importers only from ten to twelve cents a pound, all over that paid by the public being profit to the importer and retailer, and pure, sweet olive oil brings too much to enable it to be made into castilo soapand sold at any such price. Fifteen Dollars For a fine cassimere, worsted or corkscrew suit, is a remarkably low price, but we are selling hundreds of them these days. They are well trimmed and every one of them is worth S2O, but at sl3 they shall all go. Model Olotfiino Company. ANNOUNCEMENTS. SEE VAN PELT'S FLOUR PRICES UNDER head of wanted. RT^RECEPTTON AT~ MRS.
