A Week of Unusually Meritorious Attractions at All the Local Theaters. Tlifl HiT Opera Company at UieQj Qr Threo Nights Notes About Plays and flay Tcople. All the operas written by Franz von Suppe occupy a high place in tbo regard of musicloviog people. He differ from most composers of opera comique in that his taleot' ia not confined to music of the lighter vein, for in Ms earlier -Jvra he wrote grand opera. Now he has been brought iuto competition with younger men, and holds his own in the fulfillment of his misBien 'to bring mirth and merriment to his fellow men, as well as material profit to himeelf. "A Trip to Africa," which will be presented at the Grand the first three nights of this week by the Duff Opera Company, is said to be the best of his light operas from the etand-poirl of the scientific musician. Much of it is the waltz and march rhythm, a style that Von Suppe is famous for, as is indicated in "Fatinitza" and "Boccaccio." The story is founded on the complications arising from a fortune left to a young girl, under certain matrimonial conditions which she attempts to evade, and there is much fun and confusion in consequence. TJie oriental locale gives opportunities for fine costumes and scenic display. A novel effect presented is that of the overflowing of the banks of the Nile. The cast given the ojrxrra by Mr. Duff's company is one that has never been excelled in operatic production. It includes Lillian Russell, who is conceded to be the best exponent of opera comique in the profession, and a lady who has a very large and enthusiastic personal following; Miss Verona Jarbean, another well-known artiste; Mrs. Zelda Seguin Wallace, who ia the leading contralto of the present stage, and a lady who is as popular, socially, here as she is professionally everywhere; Mr. J. H. Ryley, who for years was the leading comedian of the New York Casino; Mr. Charles W. Dungan, Mr. John E. Nash, Miss Bessie Cleveland and others. Mr. Duffs company includes sixty ladies and gentlemen, and he carries a car-load of special scenery and ctumes for the production of his operas. "A Trip to Africa" will be given to-morrow, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings, and "Iolanthe" Wednesday afternoon. Those who want good Beats for these performances should secure them in advance, as the sale is already large. A drama new to Indianapolis, but one that comes with the prestige of a six-month's run at the Madison-square Theater, New York, will be preson'sd at the Grand the latter part of this week "Saints and Sinners." It is" said to be one of the most felicitous efforts of II. A. Jones, author of "Hoodman Blind," and "The Silver King." It is a beautiful emotional drama, that appeals to the feelings of the most refined and cultured audiences, and that never offends by any approach to sensationalism. In it the story Is told ot a daughter s faithful and steadfast love for hr father, and her suffering at the hands of an utiormcipled lover. The plot is a masterly one, and the unfolding of the romanee it con tains proceeds in a way that carries the feelings of the audience irresistibly, finally setting fears at rest by a happy finale. A feature of this drama that invests it with additional interest lies in the fact that the cast an exceptionally strong one includes Mr. Couldock, the veteran actor. The part borne by this gentleman is ad mirably suited to him, and must revive the admiration felt for his talents as an actor. The rest of the cast includes the following strong array of people, possessed ot histrionic talent: Leslie Allen, Cedric Hope, n. Clarendon, Frank Norcross. Raymond Holmes, W. T. Melville, John Matthews, J. McKeever, Edwin Hope, A. C. - Hilsdurf, Viola Allen, Sydney Co well, Helen Cre&wick and Edwina Bland. Mr. Ben Maginley, a popular character com edian, will be at English's next Thursday even ing and daring the remaiadcr of the week, in David Belasco s beautiful comedy drama, "Mav Blossom," a play that seems to never grow old in the affections of theater-goers. This season Mr. Maginley is playing Uncle Bartlett, the village preacher, in the piece, and it is said to be the best performance he has ever given the public. His support includes Miss Manon Keith (May Blossom), Joseph Adelman, Otis Turner. Miss Etta Frank, and others equally well known, and the play will be presented" with appropriate seemeand mechanical accessories. There will be no advance in prices, and the sale of will begin Thursday morning. Miss Jennie Calef, a protean actress who has youth, attractiveness and talent to commend her, will be the attraction at the Museum all this wesk, appearing in her play, "An American Princess," Monday, Wednesday and Friday aft ernoons and evenings, "Little Detective" Tuesday and -Saturday matinees and evenings, and "Little Muffets" Thursday at both performances. Miss Calef will be remembered as having played an engagement at the Grand last season. She is a pleasing and capable actress, and her supporting company is one that has been carefully selected. : m. jonn li. oioaaara, wno oezan, some years ago, to give lectures recounting his expe riences as a traveler in Europe and the Orient, and who is quite popular in Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, St. Louis and all the leading cities will, early next month, inaugurate his lectures here, having among his subjects "Historical Monographs on Napoleon III," "Queen Elizabeth" and "Peter the Great," all fully and Unely illustrated. An audience completely filled League Hall on last evening, the occasion being an elocutionary recital by pupils of the Training School of Expression. The well-arranged programme was carried out iu a manner creditable to both pupils and teacher, nearly every participant receiving a spiraea recall, i ne musical num bers were a piano solo by Miss Lee Tiramons, ana two vocal selections ny aiis3 Anna Stott.

It is definitely settled that Mrs. James Brown Putter is to debut on the stage next October. It is reported that Mrae. Janish is to be married to George Moore, the juvenile man of her company. "Biir Ponv. the Gentlemanly Savage." is the title of A. C. Wheelor's new comic opera, to be played in New lent nexwnoiuu.

It is seldom that two such artists as the veteran C. W. Louldock ar.d Alias Viola Allen are seen lu one eonif any, but thev are both in the "Saints and Sin ner s company, which plays here this week. The following is a tummlng up of the leading feat ures at Verdi's "Otello." "Fonr numbers are magni ficent, two or three as good as of old. but it is scarcely to be expected that the first and the third act can jtaadas they are now. The fourth act, containing

two good numbers, and last3ng only twenty minutes, seems the best. -The performance, tolerably good concerning the soloists, was barely tolerable with regard to chorus and band." Kate Castleton'g new song, "Excuse Me, I'll Tell You iN More." is a hit wherever sung. A new skit, Toboggan", Is in preparation for nes.t season, and Miss Castfton will add several "patches" to her "Crazy Patch.''" .

"Versatility is what the young actors lack," said a veteran manager, who had come to New York to engage talent for a rural circuit. "I've been looking all the week for a man capable of doing the lovers in society plays and brass in the band. The new play which David Belasco and Clay M. Greene have written for Lotta, and for which that actress has agreed to pay $5,000, $1,000 of which has already been given, will be entitled "Pawn Ticket illy and wjli be produced in April. Miss Bessie Cleveland, who plavs here with the Duff Opera Company this week, iis a cousin of Presi dent Cleveland, and she is the actress who called on the President, in Washington, last week, an account of which was given in the press dispatches. Booth's profits thus far this season amount to $400,000. This will average the trifling sum of about $12,000 for each prformance, and, as Mr. Booth has played in halls wuh a seating capacity of less than $1,000, it follows that the charges for seats must have oeen considerably advanced. Cincinnati Enquirer: The consolidation of the Doris and Colvin shows will greatly increase the circus attractions for the coming season. John B. Doris is now in Indianapolis superintending the arrangements neceasary for tne completion of the united shows. Mr. E. I). Colvin is in the East purchasing features and engaging artists. It is said that he promises some arenic surprises in the shape of European artists. John R. Roarers, the irrepressible and unsquelchablo. Writes from Sydney, N. S. W., regarding a recent item in the Journal stating that he had been arrested and hned $oOU for having instigated some hoodlums to fire into a train in England in which Minnie Palmer was traveling, contradicting the report. He says: Supposing I had done what I am accused of, would not the government xrosecute me? The railways are in the Iiunds of the government, and, owing to the firing in our train, thousands of tourists canceled their orders, and thereby made tho railroad and every watering-place in Ireland suffer. No, no, my dear boy, it was no fairy tale no such luck." "Airy Fairy Lillian" Russell as she is called, who appears here this week, has been the subject of more gossip and discussion than any other opera singer of present years. She is a Chicagoan, and has been sing ling in comic opera about five years. Her first im portant success was at the New York Casino, where she was the prima donna for three seasons. A lady of this city who recently saw her in Chicago, thus describes her: 'She is nothing of a midget in stature, but her bones are small, every joint is dimpled, her feet and hands are studies of symmetry, and her face is a splendid copy of the China doll-baby we have all nursed and caressed; in our nursery days. Without any exaggeration, she has a complexion like a mold of blanc mange, touched up with cranberry jelly. Her nose is a pure Dantean in miniature, and her mouth is a revelation. She sang like a bird and without any apparent effort." BEGGING LETTER-WRITERS. How the Widow of Vice-President Hendricks Is Annoyed by Them. The subject of begging letter-writers was not exhausted by Charles Dickens in his description of this class of impostors and their protean forms. In conversation with Mrs. Eliza Hendricks, widow of Vice-president Hendricks, the other day, she spoke of the annoyance and dis tress that had been given ber since the death of her distinguished husband by persons all over the United States who, assuming to have some claim upon her, usually by reason of party affiliation, and, with laborious detail of their woes, throw themselves upon her generous or charitable feelings. and ask for money in greater or less amounts. Some of these letters present sorrow and suffering in such a way as to cause Mrs. Hendricks much distress. In addition to these letters demanding or begging money, she has re ceived numerous requests for photographs and autographs of Mr. Hendricss. "I have cut out autographs from all the letters and papers that I have from which they can be spared, and I can sena no more. As to photographs, 1 nave long since given up trying to supply the requests. There are demands made also for souvenirs of other kinds. In the letters that ask for money. the writers base their requests upon various sup posed favors they have conferred, or they ask lor wnat tney aesirs as ir tney were sure that I was a person of great wealth as 1 would certainlv need be to meet all the demands they make. Some of these begging letters ask for money to aid in building churches, to repair a dwelling damaged by fire, to replace a house that has been burned down, or to support large families of small children. In every letter 1 am informed that I have only to accede to the re quests therein made to receive the writer's last ing gratitude, together witb that or tne entire suffering family. One of the strangest of these begging letters' was from a woman professing to be the mother of triplets, who wrote for a dona tion toward buying a cow. The letter said that President Cleveland had contributed toward buying the cow, but not enougb, and for that reason I was called upon." Philip Moore Of Denlson Honee. Died March 3, 1887. Just a servant Philip Moore As his father was before, Born of slavery, and bred Shackled, all but heart and heafi Many guests of the hotel Will remember Philip well The bright boy you often took From the pages of his book, While, with smiles, he turned to do The poor service aked of you. Smiled the while you sat at ease. And he, down upon his kuees, .Glossed your shoes until the glare Of his work reflected there Vassal-features, dark as tan, Yet those of a gentleman. You may smilo in scorn, or you May smile, knowing this is true. Some have answered back the grac4 That lit up the dusky face, And have joyed to recognize The soul's fervor in his eyes. Others have turned, mystified, To the book he laid aside, To take up his brush, and dust Round their brains of moth and mug. Just a servant, Philip Moore As his father was before, Born of slavery, and bred Shackled, all but heart and head! So hat father greets, to-day.

Florida Jones Promises a Sensation. DETQ01T, Mich., March 5. There is a report, aprarently well authenticated, that ex-Senator Jones, of Florida, for so many months a persistent sojourner in Detroit, will seek are-ek-ction by the Florida Legislature. In doing this, it is said, he will lay before that bedy the true reason for his Ion; absence from the national Capitol, and will a tale unfold that will not only vindicate his own course, but create a national sensation by the character of the charges he will male and the high standing of the statesmen he will involve;

TEE LEAGUE FBANCHISE.

Why It Is Expected that the Eighth Club Will Be Located in Indianapolis. A New Trotting Park, with a Mile Race Track, To Be Located North of the (Jity General Sporting Notes. The Indianapolis delegates to the National League meeting on Monday started for ITew York yesterday afternoon. They will be in telegraphic communication with the local advisory committee during their conference with the League, and information will be received here immediately of all that transpires. The Indianapolis enthusiasts are confident that the - eighth club will be located here, as tho League has nothing to gain by placing a club at Kansas City. Even if Kansas City pays the railroad fare of all visiting clubs, they will get only $125 for each game, which they would 'necessarily receive for coming to this city, and, in addition, they would have the trouble of traveling three or four hundred miles out of the line of the circuit. If Kansas City was a great ball town, and visiting clubs received a per cent on receipts, that might alter the ease. But that is not so. It is simDlv $125 out there or $125 here. How ever, u tne league wants ivansas uny m preference to Indianapolis, the people here have no desire to push the matter further. This city will pay Mr. Stromberg $20,000 for the Ma roons, and will pay no railroad fare to visiting clubs. If she cannot get into the Leaeue on reasonable terms, she will ..nay out and still live. After a talk with the leading men in the scheme," says a gentleman who has been active in working np the project, "I am pretty well nrenared to say what this city will do at the next meeting. These gentlemen are business men, and propose to enter the League on a fair business basis or not at ail. The object of these men is to get into the Leasrne, build np a fine team and remain. Indianapolis is prosperous, is growing rapidly in a substantial way, and will support a good base-ball cluo. I here is no doubt of it in my mind. She already has good grounds, and to put them in fine shape would cost but little. When the League meets in Isew York on March 7 Indianapolis will be represent ed. She will be prepared to pay $10,000 for the St. Louis franchise and players, including Glasscock and Denny. No higlfer figure would be paid if they had $100,000. In ad dition to this the delegates will show the League that the club will open the season with a surplus of $10,000 or $12,000, this to be expended in mak ing the team as strong as possible. When admitted. Indianapolis will make the deposit re quired by the League, file her bond to go through tne season in good faith, and at once go to worK on the team. If the League votes toretaiu Kan sas City after this, or a similar proposition is made by Indianapolis, then Kansas City may have tne place. I think, the subscription com mittee will be kept at work until the day or tne New York meeting, and I am satisfied that $10,000 or $12,000 can be raised. Indianapolis needs that amount to get together a good team, and if we are admitted that is what we wnlhave. I mav be mistaken, of course, but I feel that In dianapolis is virtually in the League now. It seems to be the general impression that the League committee's action at Pittsburg deciding to lav the matter before the whole body is equivalent to the admission of Indianapolis. That is my opinion, and I base this assertion upon information probably known only by the Indianapolis applicants. A move has been made by this city that will settle tne question one way or the other. That League Club Franchise. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: In common with a good many sober-minded people I desire to know if, in your opinion, this city will go to the bow-wows, and never hereafter be able to hold up her head among the other cities in the Union, provided she does not raise'$20,000 to secure that League base-ball club? Let us know just what you think about this great question in your feunday issue. t;ome. now, honor bright. An Anxious Citizen. A New Race Track. The In liana Trotting and Pacing-horse Breeders' Association, at tneir last meeting neia in this citv in January, appointed a committee to select ground for a trotting park and mile track to be located near the city. The committee have unanimously agreed to recommend the location of the park on Meridian street, at the corner of Fourteenth street, this side of Fall creek, and have prepared articles of incorporation for the subscription of sufficient capital stock to purchase and improve tne part, which will be more accessible than the present State fair grounds, and will be a regulation mile track and known as the Meridian Trotting Pars. The horse-breeders at their meeting in January pledged over sia.uuu to tne capital stocs, and a general call will be made the coming week to in crease this to $W,0UU or $1U,UUU. The advantaees of a mile track and two meetings in each year of the fast horses in the country can hardly be overestimated. I he cities of Rochester, Buffalo, Cleveland, Louisville, Chicago and St. Louis have been greatly benefited by these first-class races. General Sporting: Notes, The Detroit club started for the South yesterday. Keily played with the Buckeyes in 1877 for $50 a month. . The proposed Ohio League club appears to be flick ering out. - a A National Guard league is to be organized by the isew lorn muitia. Billy Emerson, the minstrel, sings a new song eulo . . oi t - r . glSlic oi moov. uuuib uruwus. The Hanlan-Gaudaur Tace this year will doubtless be the greatest ever rowed in America. The average monthly salary to be paid the North western League players this year is $'200. It is said on gooa authority that the Shaefer-Slosson billiard match will take place in iSew lork. Von Der Ahe's young catcher. Jack Boyle, is de clared to be a wonderfully swift and accurate thrower. Scalding was willing to sell Kelly to any club but New York. That club could not have bought him at any price. Thompson is practicing hitting high balls, and Teports much better progress than expected. He has chansred his manner of holding the bat. VonderAhe, Byrne, Stern and Phelps, the four heavy-weights of the Association, are said to " be heartily m favor of the guarantee-fund plan. Yale, by a unanimous vote, declines to withdraw from the present Intercollegiate Base-ball League and join Harvard and Princeton in au exclusive associa tion. The temperance question will he made a prominent feature in the instructions to clubs at the opening of the practice season. President Spalding has led off with a remarkable good talk to the Chicago boys. Robert Hart, the phenomenal young pitcher who, for a time last season, created sucn a sensation out West by shutting the St. Louis Maroons out without a hit and holding the Ct. Joseph and bprinirneld clubs down to a hit apiece, has oeen 6igned by Milwaukee. Manager Watkins says: Jt would be better for the League for each of seven clubs to chip in $2,000 and take mat amount or siock m the Indianapolis club. In the face of taking iu Kansas City it would be money in the League s pocket to help Indianap olis. The Detroits paid $7,000 for the release of the big xour in iooa, wniie ice xr-roouiyns paia Jfa.wo for the rel-ase ot fhimps, rinsney, Smith. Harkins Kreig and Hotalme in the same year. Neither of tnese amounts couta Duy me release oi either lirouth ers, Kicbarason or smitn to-aay. Boston wants the Detroits this year on Decoration Da7. and is making a strong fight therfor. New York wants them, too, but will be eatislied with Chicago. As Philadelphia is counting confidently on playing in Pittsburg, Washington will have to play in Indianapolis or Kansas City. iapolis or Kansas City. Bushong, the catcher, who signed one of Von der Ahe's contracts last Tuesday, is said to have very thrifty habits, and not only owns a handsome residence on Grand avenue, St. Louis, but has several dollars invested in building associations and carries life insurance policies which he holds himself. The Baltimore Herald figures it out thusly; It is a liberal estimate to say that Mike Kelly will play & total of 130 games during the season. They will average two hours ia length, or 2GO hours. Two hun-

dred and sixty hours will equal in

eleven full days. For these eleven days this desirable exponent of base-ball gets $454.54 a day or at the incrediblo rate of $165,997.10 per annum, and Boston has bought this gold mine for $15,000. H. A. Comstock has in his kennel a fine Irish setter, Beauty Belle, the property of Harvey Rider," of Crothersville. He also nas the famous rise dog, Royal 0., which won the prize over the $5",GO0 dog, Dude, at the St. .uouia exhibition. His dog has been exhibited six times, and received the first prize five times.
