AMUSEMENTS. GRAND MAIX THE COMFORTS OF HOME." Charles Frohman's very capable company of comedians presented "All the Comforts of Home" for the first time in this city, last night, at the Grand Opera-honse. The play is the production of Wed. Gillette, an author who, many years ago, established a reputation as a writer of clever and highclass comedy by his production of "The Private Secretary," and later of "Mr. Wilkinson's Widows." "All the Comforts of Home'' is funny. It is clean, np to the time9, and dependent noon a wellconceived and wholly probable plot for its denouement. Then is not the faintest conception of farce method in the piece, and for that it deserves especial praise in this degenerate day of ranting and horseplay. As the play progresses the audience is, by degrees, led up to a point where the question whether home has any real unalloyed comforts becomes as mooted a question as that long.dlsDuted topio as to the nuecess or failure of the connubial relation. The situations are extremelv funny, and the more they are attempted to be unraveled the more are they entangled. Mr. Charles Fro b man has riven Indianapolis a better company than did his brother Daniel in "The Chanty DalL" The conspicuous members are 11. A. Morwy, l'Ari Menus, Miller Kent. Jacques Martin. Maud Haslam and Kate Deuin. Miss Haslam was JumicuUrly good as MVnYlU Oritauski, rom the Opera Coin i que, a part which she played last year. All the Coni forts of ilome" will continue through Wednesday sight, with the usual matinee. r A U K ' A F TK K DARK." Sir. W. A. Brady's production of Dion Boucicault's well-known melodrama, "Aftter Dark.'1 as given at the 1'arlt yesterday, was productive of much lauufctcr and applause. The play is deftly constructed and has various strong scenes and effective climaxes. Among tho notable scenes realistically represented are those of the f ambling den. a view of the River Thames, which is especially good, and the railroadtunnel scene. In the concert-hall scene, Keiley and Murpby gave a scientific exposition of boxing, which was much applauded, and bwceney and Kyland, who are the most amusing and original of all the so-called "Irish teams." did a very entertaining turn. The cast of the play is a stronger one than when it was seen at Kiigliah's last season. James M. Ward plays the hero. Old Tom, with intelligence and force; Kuasell liasnett does a striking piece of character acting, as the keeper of tho gambling-house, and other loading parts are capably presented by Mr. McConnell. Miss Wood and little Mamiu Murphy. "After Dark" will run all week, and is likely to draw larce audiences, NOTKS. The Chicago orchestra, order the direction of Theodore Thomas, will give the last of the series of three concerts at English's to-morrow night, and will havo an additional interest, from the appearance in it of Mine. Julia Kive-King. a highly accomplished piauiste, who ha a strong following in this city. The programme to be given is a varied and enjoyable one. Tho engagement of Modjesk.'k at the Grand the latter part of this week is an event of very great interest to those who are admirers of the highest form of the dramatic art. and the repertoire chosen is one that is calculated to display her powers to the best advantage. Thursday night. "Mary fctuarf will be given; Friday, her new play. "Countess Koudiue; Saturday matinee. "As Vou Lik it," and Saturday night. "Macbeth." Her company this season is said to be an unusually strong one. Her principal people are T. R Thalbertf. John A. Lane. 11. U. Iiogers, Howard Kylt. Mrs. Kate Meek and Miss llnlen Jones, eats are now on salo for Modjeska's engagemen. Not Vry l'rodactire. The numerous and heavy losses by tire In tie year h'Jl have caused many tire insurance comoauies to pass dividends, and iience tie provision of the city charter requiring a certain per cent, of the net receipts to be paid to the city tire department relief fund is not producing much revenue U the city. Ltaputy Auditor Johnson ssys that only two or three companies, organized sinee the heavy run of tires last year, have paid any money to the fuud. Kew hat-racks at Win. L. Elder's.

Non-Union Mcs Hart in aFijjht with Unionists Imported Men at Work. Charles Dorr, a noD-union machinist who refused to walk out of the Panhandle shop, when the balance of the sixty-live machinists left, rather than submit to piecework, was yesterday somewhat hurt in a fight with two union men named Archie Hall and Thomas Cnllen. Three others who are charged withhaving a hand in the light are E. B. McCallie, Harry Sheets ond J. S. Kittlewell. but those say they were not presen t during the trouble. Derr has, of course, had to bear the taunts and gibes of the union men, but the latter say he aggravated the dislike to him, by making threats that he intended to shoot Hall and to knife Cnllen. It is also eaid of him that he has been practicing at marksmanship since the strike through a window. Warrants were yesterday sworn out by the company for the arrest of the five men, but bonds wero arranged for them before they could be arrested. The charge is assault and battery. Kittlewell said last night to a Journal reporter that be was not within three squares of the scene of the tight at the time. The company, however, will attempt to prove that he urged McCallie to stab Derr with a knife. The cases will be called this morning. Tho defense will be that Derr s repeated threats justified the boating be received, which, however, was not severe. The machinists acknowledge that there are rive strange non-union men at work, together with the three or four who did not join the strike. Others say thero are fully twenty machinists employed. The stranKers arrived yesterday from Philadelphia, and the strikers' committee has not as yet been able to seo them. The company has mobilized a squad of section bands, variously estimated from eighteen to thirtyfive, from contiguous sections to act as guard about the gates, which were yesterday, for the first time, kept securely closed and bolted. The guards are armed with pick handles. It is reported an agent of the company went West Sunday night to secure machinists. Tho strikers believe thin is a victory, since it shows the quest of such artisans in the East was not largely successful. They eay if machinists cannot be obtained in Philadelphia they cannot be had anywhere. One of the strikers said last night: 'Superintendent Darlington is paying the imported men SJ certs ou hour for a ten-honr dav. He has sent for some of us P to oiler the same price, but not one will .ac cept unless all are given a c nance at day-work. Superintendent Darlington has also offered to civo some of ns passes to go to Dennison and other points where there are shops to let us seo how piecework runs. But we know already. That can only be acceptable when a permanent scale by the piece is adopted and posted in the shop. Otherwise, as soon as one man learns to make good wages at it. he is put on another piece and the next man to tako the first piece has to make it at a reduced price. By the time the first man gets his old piece back as-ain. the price is so low he can barely make wages by long hours of labor. Oh, no; no pice-work for ua." J. J. Lamb did not arrive yesterday and nothing has been heard of the executive board. REPUDIATE THE SOLICITORS. Black-Listed Insurance Companies Disclaim Any Effort to Get Indiana Business. The Standard, a leading insurance journal, refers, in its last number, to the wholesale black-listing of a number of "wild cat" companies by Auditor of fitate Henderson. These companies were advertising in tho Standard two weeks ago some alluring offers by Morton, Bagby& Morton, insur-anoe-brokers of New York, and scattering their circulars broadcast over the land. It was from one of these circulars that Auditor Henderson received bis hrst notice that these companies were making unreasonably low rates to eaten business in Inoiana. The Atlanta Home, a thoroughly reliable company, was mentioned among the "wildcats," and at once telegraphed Auditor Henderson that it never did business in this State and never applied for the privilege. The Georgia Homo and the German of Wheeling also repudiate Morton, Bagby & Morton. PERSONAL AND SOCIBII, Miss Maud Bnek entertained a number of friends last evening with a leap-year party. Mrs. G. M.

Mrs. Wilson is seventytwo years old, but being born ou the 2Uth day of Pobruary she has not enjoyed as many real birtnday anniversaries as the average mortal. When a person can observe a birthday but once in four years, and when that time does come around, something more than tho ordinary should mark the event. Mrs. Wilson's health has not been robust so no formal invitations were issncd. The simple announcement was niade that friends would be welcome and quite a number called to pay their respects, making tho day a happy one for the guest of honor. Tho leap-year party given by some of the society people, which has been on the tapis for several weeks, occurred last evening at the elejraut home of Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand Winter, ou North Meridian street.

GOT I1ADLY MIXED. An Indiana Judge Who Repeated a Story on a JJoesier Senator. Detroit Free Treas. It may be a chestnnt. but it illustrates quite as well how obtuse some really intelligent people nro in the matter of seeing the nib of a story Judge T -. of Indiana, an able lawyer and innst, is one of that kind. During tho administration of Lincoln, when beward was his right hand man, the late Senator Macdougal, of Indiana, was in Washington, and being overcome by his weakness one niht late, as Senators even at this day are, he slipped on the sidewalk and went oil into the gutter, -where ho lay helpless until a policeman came by. Tho guardian of tho pcacn and dignity of the coinmonweaitn, seeing the Senator, went to Pis assistance, and taking hold of him inquired; "Who are yon!" Well," slowly spluttered tho witty statesman, "I was Senator Macdougal, but now 1 am sewered." This story was toldtoJudgeT .and he was greatly amused by it: so much to, in fact, that ho was laughing over it to himeelf wheu a visitor came into his olllee. Tho visitor akcd the cause of the Judgo's mirth, and ho at once proceeded to repeat the story. It went all right till it came to tho wit. The policeman," said the Judge, chuckling to himself, "asked Mardontral who he wa. and Macdougal said, 'Well, i was Senator Macdougal, but low I am Secretary Seward.' " Then the Judge broke out into a hearty laugh, and got mad at his visitor because he tailed to sto the point. Earnest in Protecting the Public. Texas Miliars.

INFLUENZA A CENTURY AGO.

Visitation of the l)ie;ie in England in the Days of the Georges. Philadelphia Time s. The earliest mention of tbo grip or inflnenza by name in England is found in a book entitled, "Account of the Inlluenza at Hath. 1731," by W. Falconer, written for the Medical Society or London. This book seems to have escaped tbe notice of Dr. Johnson, forneitheriu the folio edition of his dictionary, published in 1750, nor in the later editions does tho word iind a place. That it did not appear in the later editions is tho more surprising, because iu 17(52 there was a serious outbreak of the disorder. And a few years afterward the epidemic aeemii to have become as "fashionable" as it is to-day. In the "Lamo Lover" of Samuel Foote, which was tirt played in 1770, Sir Luke Limp says: "Order Joe to run for Alderman Inkles in ThreadncCdle street; sorry can't wait upon him. bat conliued to bed with the new influenza." As Dr. Johnson was an admirer of Foote, whose humor ho described as irresistible, it is very probable that he witnessed his acting in the 'Lame Lover," and if so, he must have been familiar with the word in 1770, if not earlier. Jn 1782 the epidemic attacked the crews of Admiral Kempenfelt's squadron of the fleet oil tho coast of France, although at that time no communication was held with the land, and the squadron was forced to return to Eugland. This is not the only instance ou record of the disorder breaking out suddenly in sbips at tea. Lord Anson's squadron was attacked at the same time and iu the same manuer. The inriuenza on would fancy to be too gruesome a theme for a poet to dwell upon, but an unknown bard had tho courage to publish an invocation to the malady in the European Magazine for Juno of the same year, to tho following ctiect: Influenza, h:ite awayf Cease tby baneful empire here! Boast no longer of thy way. Cease dominion o'er the year! Kadiaut sun, exert tby pow'r. On tbo wluga of repayr couie. Dart thy beams and rule the Lour, Health and beauty then shall bloom! This stanza was intended for a glee, and was set to musio, wo are informed, by a Mr. Barthelemon, but the music is not preserved to ns. In 17S3 the influenza appears to have been universal. It was then prevalent in ltussia and Denmark, according to tho Kev, John Mill, whose diary was published by tho Scottish History Society, and it is mentioned as occurring in Berlin, as well as in this country, by C. P. Moritz, in his "Travels, chiefly on foot. through several parts of England, m 1782." The same writer informs ns that one Katterfelto. whom he describes as a puppy, an ignoramus, a braggadocio and an impostor, "has demonstrated to the people that influenza is occasioned by a small kind of -insect, which poisons the a!r; and a nostrum which he pretends to have found out to prevent or destroy it is eagerly bought of him." Katterfelto seems from this to have been tbe first to get on the track of the "germ theory but, like liocer 13acon, he committed the unpardonable sin of living before his time, and never gained any reputation but that of a charlatan. The demonstration called in question by C. V. Moritz was a long advertisement in tbe General Advertiser of June 3, 17S2. which states, among other things, that "Mr. Katterfelto was taken ill with tha Tery alarming disorder that at present rages throughout the metropolis; the symptoms were a great weakness in tho limbs, a swimming in the head, and a shivering of tbe whole body. He immediately had recurrence to ' the celebrated Dr. liatto's works, and there tonnd that be had cured many thousand persons in Italy in the year 1432. in the time of the plague. Mr. Katterfelto tried the effect of Dr. J3atto's medicines, and found himself perfeotly recovered in twelve hours. Mr. Katterfelto, as a philosopher and a philanthropist, gives this notice, that he has propared a large quantity of the above invaluable medicine, which will be sold (by him only) at the low prico of 5 shillings the bottle." In view of this disinterested aetion it is ead to read in a subsequent advertisement that "Katterfelto is sorry to find that writers in the newspapers have several times, ond particularly within tbelast fortnight, asserted that he and his black cat Wf re devils." JBut those newspaper writers will say anythiug. Grateful patients no doubt acquiesced in his modest profession that he was "nothing more than a moral and divine philosopher, and that neither he nor his black cat boro any resemblance to devils as they are seen in the print sho ps." " m t m Mexican Chocolate. . . New York Evening Post. The most dolicious enp of chocolate ever drunk was served at a luncheon tbe other day.
