GOSPEL TEMPERANCE Second Meeting of the Series Again Fills the Church. Talks by Several City Ministers William Murphy 3Iakes an Eloquent Plea. The old Central Christian Church building was crowded to the doors again last night, by an audience assembled to hear the pathetic appeals of the temperance apostles, Francis and "William Murphy, to all mankind for a better method of living. Last night the house, atales, platform, cor-' rldors and every available Inch of floor space was crowded to its utmost and a number of persons, arriving late, were unable to obtain admission to the room. The meeting w is a veritable Murphy love feast of temperance and gospel so closely interlocked as to be Inseparable. The meeting was opened with the singing of the hymn, "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." At the conclusion of the hymn Francis Murphy read from the Scrip-, tures and spoke briefly of the work of the temperance league and the objects hoped to bo accomplished by it. The gospel temperance movement, he said, was the greatest science known to help men. .He had been reading from the Scriptures of the fisherman who cast their net at the dictation of Christ with such phenomenal success and said the question with the league was to catch fish. The difficulty usually encountered was as to the plan adopted, too many persons sought a pleasing manner of work and failed to take the plan of Christ. There are too many fences across the road to heaven; they are built by theology and people have worn themselves out and torn their clothes attempting to climb them. It should be free and unincumbered. There is no need for theology in love; when a man la in love he knows It without the aid of theologry. and if a man Is going to love God he will do so and know it when ho doe3 without being guided by theology. There were several ministers present upon the platform, and all spoke briefly. William Murphy was introduced to the audience by his lather, with the usual Murphy introduction. The appeal of Mr. Murphy, the son, to the drinking man to mend his ways and abandon the habit was very pathetic and full of simple eloquence of the kind that melts the heart and moistens the eyes before one is aware that the God of love has taken possession of them and reigns supreme for the time being. He related an experience he had known in. the gospel temperance work of a drinker reformed through the prayer and faithful efforts of his two children a boy and a girl of tender years. It was a very touching story, and told with bo much pathos that before the speaker had half finished there was scarcely a dry eye in the entire congregation. As he pictured the scene in vivid colors one saw an in lid el father in a poverty-stricken home, pleaded with by a son and daughter who trusted in the Lord with all a child's simplicity to grant their humble prayer for their father; saw the change in the father's face as trie pleas of his children sank deep Into the heart, which was still a father's heart; saw the wife clad in tatters second the appeal of the children, and the father and husband, conquered by love, stand forth a new man, ruled by determination, sign . the pledge and abandon the habit that had chain ed him. If the men of our country were nearly as true to their wives as their wives are to them, he said, there would not be a saloon or distillery in all America. rThe call for signers to the pledge was responded to promptly, and. a large nurru attached their signatures to a solemn promise to abstain from the use of all intoxicants as a beverage.

ITS STATE CHARTER

Where the Citizens' Co. Bases Its Claim to Perpetual Rights. Amended Complaint Filed in the Federal Court Criminal Sentences Court Briefs. As predicted by the Journal shortly after the granting of the City railway charter the Citizens Street-railroad company has come into court claiming a perpetual franchise. This claim is made In an amended complaint to the injunctive proceedings filed in the United States court some time ago. .The company bases its claim to a perpetual right of way to the streets of Indianapolis upon its charter granted by the State of Indiana. The company is, however, not operated under a special State charter, but Is simply organized under the State law3 governing street railways. The State in issuing a charter to the Citizens' railway placed no limitation upon the right to exist and on this ground it is averred the charter is perpetual. Yesterday the ' Citizens' Street railway through Attorney W. H. H. Miller, filed an amended complaint in the suit pending against the City Railway company. The amended complaint sets out in full the various street car ordinances since the city charter was received by the company. In compliance with the electric ordinance made in 1S3D, the complaint cites the fact that the company has converted a major portion of its property into modern and improved electric lines, purchasing for the purpose much material in the way of steel rails, copper wire, etc., and it now claims that in order to operate these new lines an additional power house of sixty-thousand horse power is about to be constructed. Further it is averred by the company that not only has It a right to the streets of the city a privilege subject only to alteration or repeal by the Legislature but there exists a valid contract between, this city and the company as to the matters covered by the ordinances cited. Continuing, the complaint says: "But, notwithstanding the premises, the city by ordinances enacted by its Common Council and by its Board of Aldermen in the pretended exercise of its legislative power, is now denying the right of your cr tor to maintain or operate or extend its 1L s within said city, and Is asserting its rife it, power and authority at will to stop this complainant from making said improvements and extensions, or even to maintain or operate the said roads. That, in pursuance of said policy of denying the validity of said contract, said city is now claiming and asserting that this complaint is forbidden by certain ordinances, by said city duly adopted, to enter upon any street not already occupied by tracks In said city for the purpose of constructing" or extending its street-railway lines, or to cut or dig in any street, alley or sidewalk of said city that has been permanently improved with asphalt, vulcanite, brick, granite, wooden block or other pavement, for any purposa whatever, except as said complainant obtains the consent of said city authorities to do so; and is claiming and asserting the right to refuse such permission or consent at will." In relation to the contract entered into by the Council and the corporation known as the "City Railway Company," the defendant in this suit, the complaint further says, after citing the above-named contract: "And your orator avers that said ordinances, and especf .lly those granting rights to the City Rallv y Company, operate, so far as said city a.id its Council have power to do, to repeal and annul the ordinances granting rights to your orator aforesaid, being wholly inconsistent therewith; and also to deny and destroy the' charter rights of complainant, derived directly from the State; that most of the streets whose use for street-railroad purposes is so attempted to be granted said City Railway Company, are already occupied oil and along the only parts of said streets available for said purpose by the tracks, and mostly double, of this complainant, upon which the cars are constantly running, many of them electric cars operated by the trolley system; and it is Impossible that other electric cars can be operated on said streets, either with safety to the public or the property of said companies, without the practical destruction of said street as thoroughfares for travel; that the attempt to operate two electric lines on the same street. would be so dangerous that people would not travel on either, and thereby the franchise of this company as to that street and line would be destroyed. And even if two railways could be operated on the same street, the 1 operation of another line on any street where this company is operating one of its lines would be greatly to the injury of your orator's franchise and a violation of Its rights. That said defendant claims that the complainant has no right to construct, operate or maintain a street-car system In the city of Indianapolis. And the complainant avers that as a matter of fact it was and is the purpose of said ordinances and of said city enacting, and said defendant in accepting the same, that the tracks of the latter company shall occupy the very parts of said streets now occupied by the tracks of this complainant and to exclude this company altogether therefrom." The amended complaint charges that by reason of the city's delay In granting the Citizens' company the right to cut streets, etc, It has been put to needless expense and inconvenience from the fact that, instead of saving labor and time by laying a continuous line. It has been compelled to construct the work by squares and short sections. It is stated that before it began occupying new streets or tearing up pavements for construction the company served notice of Its Intention on the city. Further, it is averted that the city of Indianapolis and the City Hallway Company have by acts set about to annul and set aside a contract duly entered into and between the State and Citizens company Tinder its charter and between the city and the Citizens company; by this attempt it is asserted that the city of Indianapolis is seeking to destroy the contract in violation of Section 10. Article V, of the Constitution of the United States, nnd also In violation of Section 1 of the fourteenth amendment. In the concluding paragraphs the bill complains that the City railway's actions are unlawful and void of equity, and that bv its action it has done the Citizens' company great Injury by creating a prejudice that will tend to depreciate its commercial standing, delay its work and otherwise injure Its service to the public; further, that the denial of the City company, in combination with the city of Indianapolis, of the perpetual right of tho Citizens' company to operate Its llne3 In this city subject to the amending power of the legislature and to such lawful regulations as the city may mak5. Is hurtful and injurious to the complainant In the financial world. Therefore, the amended complaint 'prays that the defendant be required under oath to specially make auswer why the relief prayed for should not be granted ; and. further, that the defendant be enjoined from lnterferenco with the company or its agents In the lawful use of the. streets. Flnallv. the amended complaint asks that the injunction be made perpetual. IX TUB CRIMINAL, COURT. Several Sentence Pael Yesterday' Upon Plena of Gnllty.

The plaintiff alleges that the defendant Is worth 515.000, and asks alimony In the sum of $7,000.

Grnye Growing:. Grange Homes. Years ago it was thought that none but a skillful person could grow grapes. Now the person who has not intelligence enough to grow grapes for his family should be pitied. Grape growing is the simplest of all things. And think what the yield may be of one grape vine; consider that it will bear grapes as long as you live, though it be a hundred years! Bear in mind this: that the old wood that has borne grapes once never bears grapes again; but that the wood that is formed each season Is the bearing wood for the next season; also, note that if all the new wood is left on the vine will bear a hundred times more clusters than It should, thus all the clusters will be small and Imperfect. But if nine-tenths of the new wood Is cutaway, leaving only two or three- buds of the new wood on each stalk, the yield will be increased ten-fold and the clusters lx much larger. The United States Is rapIdly taking the lead In grape culture. It 13 only a question of years when we will be the great grape-growing Nation of the world. I)ng ago people were talking about the prospect of a glut in the market. At the present time grapes are being grown a thousand-fold more plentifully than was dreamed of twenty years ago, and yet grapes continue to sell at about the same price they were selling when I was a boy. m A Reformer.

THE S0USA CONCERTS

Local Music Lovers Enjoy a Eare Treat at Tomlinson Hall. The BandmastsL becomes at Once Popular with an Indianapolis Audience Soloists and Chorus. , Sousa gives the people what they want In the r wary of music. His two programmes yesterday were varied indeed. Sousa received a warmer welcome than any band master has before received in Indianapolis. And there you have the cause and effect. It was an error on the part of the great band leader not to have abandoned his Marine Band In Washington several years ago. Now that Gilmore Is dead no one is Jiere to dispute the leadership with thl3 graceful director, who seems to have a wonderful magnetism at the end of his baton, no matter through what gyrations he twists it There are a great many things that can be said of Sousa, but aside from his skill there is one thing apt to make him very popular. He is most accomodating in the matter of encores and he seems to take a genuine pleasure in responding as often as the people desire. The audience last night was hardly wrhat the entertainment deserved. Heretofore It has been customary on the part of Indianapolis folks to almost fill Tomlinson Hall when any great musical attraction is provided.. There were many unoccupied seats last night. A major portion of the May festival chorus was grouped back of the band. The work of tho chorus iwaa a feature of the evening performance. There is much of a difference between a concert band and a band of brass. Such a band as Sousa has organized, with the reed and the brass instruments so well balanced, gives a better effect with classical music, perhaps, than an orchestra. But Sousa by no means confines himself to the classics. The band's rendition of popular airs last night was as well received as the rendition of tho works of the masters. The first of the numbers was the Tannhauser overture, and a member of the old Parisian Jockey Club would almost have forgotten his spleen against Wagner had he heard Sousa's band play this overture last night. The soft blending of the reeds in the beautiful opening measures brought the layman into the spirit of the composition. The programme of the evening spoke of the influence of Gonnod's "Unfold, Ye Portals" to make better men and women through the grandeur of the piece. Why did, the programme not include this dlrgeful portion of the Tannhauser overture? It certainly has a most peculiar effect on a great many people an effect for the better. Perhaps it is a portion of the overture suggesting the visit of the knight to Venusberg that gives unmusical people an idea of Wagner's "clashing harmonies." Few concert bands of pretension fail to include this overture in their repertoire, but few of them indeed are able to give It tho touches that Sousa's band gives. . Speaking from , this same lay point of view, a popular impression Is that Rubinstein only composed works for the piano forte. The ballet suite, "Feramers." with the dances of the Bayaderes, is a happy composition for a concert band, and was admirably set to follow the Tannhauser overture. After this camo a piano solo by Miss Henrietta Kitchell. It was a concert waltz by Moszkowski. The young lady has a charming address to add to her qual ities as an artist. Musicians were very enfhuslastic over her performances yesterday, dieting a brilliant future for her for she s young. They say her technique is won derful. She responded to a hearty encore. The chorus sung, "The Heavens Are Telling." The Indianapolis public is well familiar with the work of this excellently drilled chorus. The last band number before the thirty minutes intermission was Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No 2, with its occasional Bohemian rythm. Tha numbers of the orchestra were followed by popular airs as encores, and as the audience would catch strains heard everywhere nowadays, the applause would be heavier than ever. What a reception "Push Dem Clouds Away" did receive. The dignified chorus, the chorus that sang "Unfold Ye Portals and "The Heavens Aro Telling," took Just as much delight as the rest of the folks, the folks who did not pretend to know a great deal of -'classical music Then there was the "High-school Cadets" march. No more will the home band thrill the music-loving people with this contagious air. The email boy, if he was at the concert, last night, will 4ake up the popular strain again, and make life a burden. After the intermission, when a reception was tendered the band master, the "Semiramlde" overature was given. The audience waa not as enthusiastic over this as the other selections, and it may be inferred that Rossini has not become as popular as tho other masters. Signorlna Nice Moreska did not sing until the evening performance. She Is practically unknown to an Indianapolis audience, but created a favorable impression last night. Her number was a solo from "Le Prophete." The Signorlna is thoroughly trained in the Italian school. She has a perfect mastery of that delightful Italian enunciation, and sings with the pathetic verve, if It may be so styled, that is so marked among the native singers of sunny Italy. She is not a high soprano, yet her volco Is flexible and she has a perfect ease in holding a note without trilling or giving it a false shading. Much was expected of the band masters own composition, tho symphonic pom, "The Chariot Race," from "Ben-Hur." Indiana people would naturally have more than a passing interest in it. A synopsis has been printed of the work and also a sketch of the manner in which Sousa came to write it. The descriptive work is, no doubt, very fine; it is something that can be readily appreciated. In the synopsis the different features of the race are 'classified, but, if the piece is open to criticism. It might be said that the pyuopsls is not well pointed In the music. The chariot race is there. No doubt of this. The shouts of the charioteers, the rumbling of the heavy wheels, the crackling and lashing of the whips, the clatter of the horses feet the musical poem Is fully descriptive of all these.' But the voice of Ben-Hur is not there, or If it is the strain Is merged too much in others. The blaring of the trumpets would make the lusty-lunged man of heraldry days look to their laurels. The poem was well received by the audience, however. , , tA : Dadorewskl's minuet Is an exquisite little piece, with its pretty swing and rhythm and soft cadences. Bonnaud's "Serenade Enfantine" was included in the same number with the minuet, by the band. The reeds had all the work, and the effect was extremely pleasing. The two were excellent foils to the "Chariot Race." Miss Lenore Von Stosch has the charm of youth and beauty. Youth, beauty and art make an Invincible trilogy. The fair violinist was a picture as she stood In a quaint pose, with violin clasped in front of her. The andante of the Mendelssohn concerto gave her opportunity to draw out the purest 'of tones from her instrument, which she handled with delicate skill. She gave as an encore some plaintive aria. The programme was concluded with the chorus, Unfold. Ye Portals," from Gounod's "Redemption." Air. J. H. Stem, whose efforts brought Sousa's magnificent band here. Is not disappointed at the small audience. He did not expect to make money off the venture. Ie- had a talk with Mr. Sousa last night, and It may be that the band master will come back to Indianapolis soma time in December. He will be griven a much better reception if he concludes to come. AT THE MATINEE. Ilnnd nnd Soloists Proved a Revelation to the People. There was not the large audience present at the matinee which should have been there. The band music was very fine and the reputation which Mr. Sousa is acquiring, of being a successor of Patrick Gilmore should not be allowed to go any further. Mr. Sousa possesses all that Gilmore had and infinitely more. He is a finished conductor, and the way In which the Instruments respond to his baton Is great. The magnificent effects and the climaxes which are possible with the brass instruments give a breadth of volume which strings can never effect, and which fill, the hearer with the grand intention of the composer. There are forty-four men in

the band, and all the Instruments are played by master musicians. The overture to the "Flying Dutchman," which was the opening number, was finely given, and the "Peer Gyntsuite," which followed, was so entirely different that the audience appreciated the vivid descriptions of the three parts given and applauded vigorously. The "Ballet Suite, Rosamonde" was also delightfully played, and the finale of the first Vart, the humoresque Good-bye," called for the most vociferous applause. The scheme of the composition, which is by Mr. Sousa, Is: The musicians imagine they have been unjustly criticised by the conductor so they rise alone and in groups and play In succession "good-bye" airs and leave the stage. Finally the last one has departed, and then they conclude they may have been hasty and they come back playing "Annie Laurie." The audience were more than enthusiastic and the band returned to the platform and played "The Washington Post March," which Mr. Sousa has made so famous. It was fascinatingly performed, and the grace of the director with his baton added to the charm so that the hearers would have been glad to have had It repeated. After the intermission the band played the "Overture to William Tell," and again the wind instruments brought out the strong effects of the composition. "A Normandy Wedding," by Wittman, was followed by "Pasquinade," by Gottschalk, and the latter made the audience even more delighted, and the players were compelled to return. They gave, ki direct contrast to the first encore, the delicate and delicious "Lion de BaL" The absence of strings in the assembly of players was not noticed, and the piano passages were as well represented as if there had been many violins. The soloists of the matinee were Miss Henrietta Kitchell, who made her first appearance before an Indianapolis audience this season, and created a most favorable impression. Miss Kitchell plays with great brilliancy and the several numbers on the programme gave her ample opportunity to show her skill. Her first number was VRomanze Sans Paroles," by St. Saens, and, like s all of this composer's works. It was full of technical difficulties. These Miss Kitchell accomplished with the dash and consummate finish of the artist, and for her admirable rendition of the selections she was vociferously recalled and responded. The other soloist of the afternoon was Miss Leonora Von Stosch, one of the finest violinists that has ever appeared before an audience In this city. Such breadth of tone and such purity of expression are rarely equaled by the greatest and the most famous artists of the world. The popular "Gypsy Dances" of Sarasate was the number, and It was perfection. As an acknowledgment of the very hearty applause she played the "Intermezzo," from the "Cavallierra Rusticana," with exquisite delicacy and tenderness, and in response to her solo in the evening she played the same. As a finale to the most delightful of programmes the band played the descriptive piece, "The Cavalry Charge," by Luders. Tho audience was thoroughly pleased with the autumnal festival programme, and the leader may be sure of a larger audience at every future visit. The Reception. During the intermission in the evening Mr. Sousa and tho artists Were presented to all who wished to. meet them in the room at the end of the corridor.

A select audience greeted the Coghlans at the Grand last night.. It was the first opportunity Indianapolis has had to see Sardou's "Diplomacy," and it is only fair to say that the play has not been too highly praised. The piece is finished with all the perfection for which Sardou Is famous, while under the masterly direction of Charles Coghlan the play is staged with an equal degree of perfection. The company is heavy and finished with each one strong in his particular role. Since Miss Coghlan's last appearance here, nearly ten years ago, she has developed into one of the most finished of any woman now on the American stage. However, Sardou was never guilty of developing one part to the expense of the rest, and Countess Zlcka does not crowd the rest of the cast Into the background. Miss Coghlan is also one of the best-dressed actresses on the stage, and her three costumes In "Diplomacy" would require a column to accurately describe. Aside from the many diplomatic intrigues with which "Diplomacy" bristles, the play depends for its dramatic situations on strained relations of a young married couple that arise on their wedding day. Dora, the daughter of a designing marquise is wedded to young Captain Beauclerc, of the lingllsh diplomatic service, serving under his brother Henry. Count Orloff, a Russian exile, friend of Beauclerc and once in love with Dora, relates how he was betrayed by a photograph given to Dora and immediately afterward Beauclerc discovers that important papers have been stolen and sent to the Russian embassador in a letter written by. his wife. The letter is recovered from Baron Stein, the 'Russian diplomat, and the damning evidence all points to the guilt of the young wife who is charged with being a spy In the employ of the Russian government. Herd the elder Beauclerc (Mr. Coghlan), believing in the innocence of hi3 brother's bride, sets to work to track the ?py. He discovers the lnsldloii3 perfume of Lotus bloom among his private papers, which tells him that Countess Zicka, an adventuress in love with his brother, has been rummaging there. He brings his superior talents to work in tne case and wrings a confession from the countess, who makes her exit in disgrace as the curtain falls on tho last act. Miss Coghlan, as Countess Zlcka, the Intriguing attache of the Russian diplomatic service, here has an opportunity to show her adaptability to a part that only a woman of her ability could sustain. Her brother, as the dominating genius of. the British diplomatic service, pervades every act with a polished Impersonation that calls for the highest commendation. The only room for criticism lies in the gap between his work and that of the remainder of the cast, which, while being well balanced, Is, of course, not of his class. In one of the stronger climaxes of "Diplomacy," Charles Coghlan has barely a halfdozen sentences, the action being carried forward by Mr. Robert Tabor, Julia Marlowe's former supjort, and Mr. John T. Sullivan, formerly Miss Coghlan's leading support, yet Cognlan is recognlzs-d as the presiding and all-Important man in the scene, and the audience appreciated his work by calling him before the curtain. Mr. Sullivan, who is Miss Coghlan's husband, with his work as Count OrI01T, does a particularly good piece of acting. and was twice interrupted with well-deserved applause. Mr. Robert Fischer, as Baron Stein, was likewise well received. In Miss Victory Bateman, who formerly supported Louis James and Frederick Warde, Miss Coghlan has one of the best dramatic readers that has been in this city in months. Her part of tho young wife suspected of betraying official secrets of her newly-wedded husband Is handled in a way that won for her the sympathy and applause of the entire audience, and she was called out at the close of the third act. Miss Lucy Iewls, as the widow Fairfax, has little to do besides affecting the way of an Ungllsh court lady, full of secrets, which she dces well. Miss Kato Meek makes an excellent mother-in-law. The minor characters are not burdened with startling situations, but the parts are all well sustained. "Diplomacy" will be repeated to-night and to-morrow night, with a matinee to-morrow afternoon.

Many new specialties and other features have been put in the play since last season, which add materially to its entertainment. Herbert Cawthorne, who has the leading part, is an original and amusing Irish comedian, whose powers of fun-making are aparently unlimited. Ha has a company of unsually clever performers with him, including Miss Irene Forester and Miss Grace Cumings, the latter be'Ins one of the brightest soubrettes who havo appeared hero in farce comedy. Th "show" is evidently one that delights the patrons of the Park. It will ran ail week with matinees every day. EnKlIU' 'Patent Applied Tor." Elmer E. Vance's "Patent Applied For was well received at Igllsh's last night. The piece abounds in thrilling situations that meet the popular demand of thosa who favor that character of plays. Realism In this play Is carried to an extent very seldom seen before. The shipwreck seen j was particularly good. A stage was placed on that regularly used, and the motion of 1 the waves and tne tossing of the struggling I snip were depicted in a way seldom, if ever. seen upon the stage. Miss Kate uesterie a leap on horseback into the water to rescuo her lover Is another very strong piece of realism. Willard Lee made a strong hero and Charles Aldrich was excellent In tha character of the tramp. The piece will run until Wednesday night, with a matinee. Empire Tlienter Vaudeville. C. W.
