As a brilliant meteor flashes athwart the sable sky and is swallowed by the Insatiable night, leaving a. dull defined sense of a pleasure qulcklyspent eo lives the memory of that solitary performance of Mrs. Potter at English's laat night. That she should favor IndIanapoll3 with but a tantalizing glimpse of her finished production, after bo long an absence, leaves a pans of almost resentful regret. Like the fugitive scent from a hidden garden of roses, she has aggravated the senses and taken her departure, leaving the lovers of dramatic art with an unsatisfied appetite. Mrs. Totter has certainly fulfilled the desire of her early admirers. Improvement such as she has made could not come save from the closest of study of the science that lies at the very foundation of, her chosen profession. That she is possessed with a full appreciation of what is necessary before a simply talented actor can discard the garment of mediocrity and appear in the robes of an artist Is severely evident from her rork last night in Dumas' "Ihe Marriage Spectre." which she has rechristened "In Society. The one great evidence of her dramatic power spoken of so flatteringly way back in her " 'Ostler Joe" days was her face; not Its beauty alone, but Us ability to portray feeling. Her deep contralto pitch of voice in conversation was a magnetic adjunct, but her face was the charm. It Is so still. As Franclne In Dumas' comedy, her mobile countenance delicately delineates the entire gamut of dramatic expression. It 13 never in repose. Others stretch the eyes, pout the lips, drop the Jaw or corrugate the forehead with ridiculous frowning. Mrs. Potter's expressions 6trlke one as the deftly finished effects of a master worker. She has all the young grace of Julia Marlowe united to a physical ability to make her characterizations what the author intended It should be. From the gossamer-like Whlstlerian Impression to the warm, direct coloring of a Bougereau, her face is ever mimed to the exact effect of the controlling passion of the moment. To be less vague, she Is both Impressionist and realist. "In tJoclety" partakes of the attributes of a great comedy. It continually skirts the domain of tragedy, just as intense tragedy hovers about the region of comedy. There is said to be always something humorous in the most tragic situations In life, and it is Just as certain that the most laughable events frequently draw near to tnat which wrings the heart. Ruakln could not read the labored witticisms of any one of Shakespeare a fools without sadnes3. Mrs. Potter represents a part in her Dumas play that for three acta is driving a modern husband to the verge Of despair. She has resolved to punish him for attending a masque Lall where he has done as many other husbands are continually doing If all Sarah Grand says is true. To carry out her plan she avows her guilt of the sin which falls to pollute men and carries her deception to the last ditch, only being exposed by hearing it said that another charges her with the crime. It Is then he forgets her little comedy and cries: "It's a lie." Tnus the play happily terminates. Mr. Bellew, whose merits are known wherever true English is loved and spoken, charms with his personation of the overwmncht husband. Once there was a great gap between Mrs. Potter and her leading support. To-day they are co-artists. The supporting company, wnue very competent, was in the shadow when either Mrs. Potter or Mr. Bellew were on the stage. "In Society" was cast as follows: Lucien De Riverolles. Mr. Bellew StarJslas de Grandredon.... Henry Chanfrau TUnH Am Rovmipui Mason Mitchell Marquis de Itlverolles Verner Clargea Plnguet i Guy Nicholls Celestln ..John Ward Kllza - ....ida"i ar.? Baroness Smith Helen Mweu Annette de Riverolles Ferdlta Hudspeth Franclne de Itlverolles Mrs. Potter Grand "A Texan Steer." Besides marking the opening of what Mr. Hoyt announces as the last engagement of "A Texas Steer," the performance of that comedy at the Grand, last evening, was made memorable by the first appearance In "this city of Bettina Gerard, who plays the pretty part of Bossy Brander, originated by Flora Walsh (the late Mrs. Hoyt.) In the past six years Misa Gerard has created mere or les3 of a flurry In the dramatic world as well as in New York and Washington society. She is the daughter of General Ordway, commander of the District of Columbia National Guard, and was Idolized in Washington social - circles before she went on the stage. Her liveli ness, which staid matrons thought some times crossed the bounds of propriety, was overlooked because of her acknowledged talent and many charm3 of manner and deposition. Her own sex bowed at her shrine because it feared her wit. and the opposite sex lionized her. Miss Gerard's first marriage was set In brilliants. Society had expected nothing else. She was wedded to Arthur Padelford. a millionaire Balti more society man, but the brilliancy of the match did not make it a happy one and divorce ' soon followed. The beautiful divorcee shortly married John J. RafTael, a handsome baritone singer, who Is well known in comic opera circles. Bettina hav lng learned the way of divorce gave the baritone a lesson in the art. A year ago Miss Gerard ventured once more on the matrimonial sea. this time with Harrison J. Wolfe, who was leading man in the "Paul Kauvaur" company, and later with "In Oil Kentucky," in which she was fIaylng a leading part.. Their married life asted only a few week?, during which time Miss Gerard created another sensa tion by attempting a terrible injury to herself which might have resulted in her death. Her first appearance on the stage was made with the Conried Opera Company pome six or seven years ago in "The King's Fool." It was a decided success, for Miss Gerard Is a handsome woman both. In face and figure, and Is not only the possessor of a good voice, finely cultivated, but -S a clever actress as well. Her work as Bossy last night stamped her as such, and she makes an immediate hit. Just as she did with the part of a Jockey in Tn Old Kentucky." The supporting company of "A Texas Steer" Is as strong as was ever cast for the wlece. Tim Murphy's old rart Mav erlck Brander. is splendidly daved bv George Woodward, who for several years was leaning man in Stuart itobson s company. Although he hasn't the mannerisms that made Murphy's characterization so unique, he invests the part with his own clever Imllvlduality. and does It with sue cess. Will H. Bray still retains his part of the forlorn colored office seeker. Christopher Columbus Jr. Flshback. and he is. of course, one of the hits of the performance. J. H. Browne, O. H. .Barr and all the otheru In the large cast are capable artists, and the comedy Is mounted in the fame complete manner as in former seasons. It is inimitable In ita humor and satire on rational politics and the ConThe Grand was filled last night, and the engagement will come nearly being a repetition of Its former record-breaking success here. It continues to-night and tomorrow night, and there will be a popularpriced matinee to-morrow. I'ark-The Side Shorr." To say the Immense audiences at the Park yesterday afternoon and last night were delighted with James B, Mackie in hi new play, "The Side Show," is putting it mildly. They fairly shouted over the hundred andxne funny Incidents and novel trick effects of the. performance.

"The Side Fhow" Is rightly described a3 i circu3 comedy, for It pictures life in circus J annex very cleverly. It is full of good

thing:, and Mackie Is here, there and everywhere during the play. He falls througrh a ceiling by way of an entrance, and from that time on tho fun Is furious. Among the clever trick effects la the best stage elepnant ever seen in this city bet ter evea tnan the one In "Wang. Its name Is Nit. and It was one of the big features of the charity circus at Dayton, O., last summer. Manager Harry Feicht, of the Grand Opera House, that city, one of tha Dickson & Talbott circuit, is re sponsible for Nit's presence here, and the elephant will be seen only on the above mentioned circuit. "The Side Show" will be repeated to-day and. to-morrow, with matinees both days. Tlie Relinn-Djily Snip. To-morrow morning, at & o'clock, the advance sale for the Ada Rehan-Daty Company engagement opens at English's. Fully half a hundred telegrams were received yesterday by Dickson & Talbott asking them to reserve places, but the first person at the window to-morrow morning will have the entlro house to select from at all three performances. The limit will be ten seats to each purchaser for each cf the performances. No person will be allowed to buy more than that number at one time. All Indications point to a demand equal if not greater than at the Bernhardt sale several years ago. MIS3 Uehan has never been here, and Daly's incomparable company also makes its' first appearance at the coming engagement. The dates are Oct. 29. SO and SI, and the plays "The Last Word." "Taming the Shrew" and "Twelfth Night." Flattering for Skinner. Jt Is none too flattering to the ability of Otis Skinner that, .'Judging by the sale of seats for his engagement here next week, he will face as cultivated and at the same time as kindly critical audience as ever greeted a dramatic star In Indianapolis. Both hU new comedy by Clyde Fitch, "His Grace De Grammont." and Victor Hugo's tragedy, "The King's Jester," have scored most emphatic successes. Ills Triboulet as the king's Jester is declared to be a new masterpiece. He makes the unhappy wretch a truly terrible picture, and In the tremendous climax reaches a pitch of passion which thrills his auditors. A Chicago critic in speaking of this scene on the opening night said: "It was not too much to say that the scene will never be forgotten by those who were present." MRS. IRWIN HARRISON'S FUNERAL. Ceremonies at the Chnrch of Her Childhood and Her Sorrows. The funeral of Mrs. Bettle Sheets Harrison, who died suddenly at Minneapolis Tuesday, was held yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock, at the First Presbyterian Church. The family, who came from Minneapolis and Chicago, were met at the Union Station by General Harrison and Mrs. J. R. McKee, Judge Solomon Claypool and family, Mrs. Edward Dean and other relatives and friends. The pallbearers were: C. C. Foster, John II. Ilolllday, V. K. Hendricks, Henry Latham, Benjamin D. Walcott and John S. Tarklngton. When they arrived at the church quite a number of old friends and neighbors filled the pews. The short services were conducted by Rev. Dr. M. L. Haines The quartet choir of the church sang "Lead, Kindly Light." Dr. Haines offered the consolations to the family. He said that it was most fitting that the last rite for Mrs. Harrison Phould be in the First Church. In that church her father and mother were leading members for many years, and forty-9ix years ago this month, Mrs. Harrison, then Bettle Sheets, Joined the church. She lived, he said, a constant Christian life till the time of her death. The casket was covered with flowers and the pulpit was filled with floral tributes from relatives and friends In this city. The burial was at Crown Hill, and the remains were laid between those of her husband and son, by her own wish, expressed the last time she was here on a visit. Mrs. Harrison had seen her father, mother, husband and her only son burled from that church, and had known almost every form of earthly sorrow. When she was a young woman she was the belle of the city, and passed all of her young life on the snot now occupied by the.Denison Hotel. Her father and mother always entertained handsomely, and every two years the members of the Legislature were their guests for a large party. Her marriage to Irwin Harrison, a member of the regular army, was the occasion of one of the most brilliant events ever known in the city, and, in comparison, eclipsed the weddings of today. She lived through many changes from the luxury of those days, and through them all she was always the same kind, lovable woman. For some time before Mrs. Harrison went to live with her married daughter, Mary Harrison Nichols, she was connected with the Public Library of this city. , GASHED IN THE CHEEK. Unknown Traveling1 Man Stabs Maurice DaUon and Escape?. Maurice Dalton and Monk Wilson boarded a J., M. & I. train for this city at Seymour last night and Dalton took a seat beside a traveling man. ' The two became engaged In a quarrel, and as the train was pulling around the "Y" near the Union Station they decided to get off and settle matters. Wilson followed them, and in the short fight that followed Dalton received an ugly gash on the left cheek four inches long and a slight one on the left wrist. He went to the Union Station and startled the people there with his gory appearance. Blood was streaming from the cut on his face, saturating his clothing. He met Sergeant LaPorte, who took him to a drug store. While the Sergeant was telephoning for an ambulance Dalton slipped out and was taken to a saloon on Virginia avenue in a hack. Wilson was there before him and placed Dalton, who was fast weakening from the loss of blood, on a table. Dr. Terrell, of the City Dispensary, was summoned, and he sewed up the cut. Dalton at first' Insisted in his story to Captain Qulgley that he was injured by striking a switch in getting off the train, but Wilson related the truth In the case. Dalton was removed to the City Hospital. The police made an Unsuccessful attempt to locate the traveling man. THE EX-PRESIDENT'S TRIP. Six Waysido Speeches and a Big: One at Fort Wayne To-Day.

First Baptist Peoplo Anxious for the . Grand Rapids Preacher. The pulpit committee cf the First Baptist Church called the members together, last night, to make a report. They recommended that a call be extended to Rev. John L. Jackson, of the First Baptist Church, at Grand Rapids, at a salary of $4,000 a year. The meeting approved the report and directed the committee to extend the call. From conversations held with Mr. Jackson, last week, in Grand Rapids, the committee believes that he is willing to accept the call If m..Jo In a formal way. Mr. Jackson was before given a call, but was not then ready to leave his present charge. lie Is said to be a learned, devoted and eloquent preacher. An Old High-School Iloy'a WorkT West Virginia has recently completed a second asylum for its insane In Roane county, and in the buildings Is a complete heating and ventilating plant, unusual In the thoroughness of detail and successful operation. Harry B. Prather, remembered in rhis city as one of the old High rVhocl boys of Un years ago, is the niechxr.lc.vl engineer who designed the plant and pro-

pared the plans and specifications. A late number of Heating and Ventilating, a scientific Journal, gives an extensive description of the plant, which is something new in the mechanical line. Mr. Prather is a eon of Austin B. Prather, of this city, and wa3 one of a llish School class with which a number of young men. who have gained prominence in the scientific world, graduated. Mr. Prather completed a course at Cornell after leaving this city, and now lives In Buffalo.

ICEHOUSE BURNED. Allen Caylor Suffered One Thousand Dollars Loss from Incendiaries. AUen Caylor, the dealer In Ice, suffered the loss of another Icehouse last evening; It was situated on Eighth street, one square west of the canal. About ten minutes after 7 o'clock flames were seen shooting out of the north end by people residing close by, and they hastened to the nearest telephone to send In the alarm, but by the time the fire department was notified the structure was a mass of flames. The fire gave a deep red glow to the sky. The building was doomed, but nevertheless water was thrown on the ruins. A small shed was also destroyed. Mr. Caylor estimates his loss at $1,000, with no Insurance. There was no ice stored In the building, and there had not been this year. Air. Caylor Is supported by the fire department in his theory that It was Incendiary, as the building was situated over a square from other buildings, and no factories or railroads are near enough to admit of the theory of flying sparks. Two months ago Mr. Caylor lost ten icehouses a little further south of the one burned last night CITY NEWS NOTES. There will be a mass meeting of women at the First Baptist Church, this afternoon, at 2:30 o'clock.

Those Clifford-Avenue Assessments. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The Sentinel charges the present Board i of Public Works with robbing the people' interested In tho Clifford-avenue sewer. It says: "New evidence of the Incompetence and blundering methods of the men who are making a stagger at managing the affairs of this- municipality Is coming to light every day. The latest blunder of this maladministration will prove a costly one to tha owners of property on Clifford avenue, but whether they will tamely submit to the 'film flam that Mr. Denny's board of Public Works is trying to give them remains to be seen." The facts in the case are The former assessment bureau made out the assessment rolls. The contractor. It is said, paid the former clerks extra to rush the work through to avoid delay and mistakes that the incoming clerks might be guilty of. The result shows a slight mistake of $2,600, besides not assessing Woodruff Place enough for the amount of benefits received. The $2,600 which was wrongfully assessed against Mr. W. H. English had to j be prorated. The present. ttoard of Public Works is simply endeavoring to straighten matters up. In Justice to the present assessment bureau this explanation is due. It is true the present beard signed the rolls, that being cne of their first official acts. As a matter of course the board depended on the assessment bureau for the correctness of the assessment rolls. These are the plain facts In the case. Indianapolis, Oct. IS. REMARK. The Courthouse RIntr. , To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: The taxpayers of this county should remember that they are vitally Interested in defeating the courthouse ring and defeating the entire Democratic ticket. In no other way can the frauds, favoritism and domination of the corrupt ring that has ruled the courthouse for years be exposed. "Turn the rascals out," and put men in their places who will not be Interested In hiding the rascalities that have been practiced by the ring for years. ANTI-RING. Indianapolis, Oct. 13. IT COMES men. The Colorado Lesson Should He Studled iu Other Staten. Philadelphia Times. Topullsm comes high In Colorado, where the rule of Governor Walte has hnd the effect to consume not less than SJcJ.QUO.onO. of values In that State. This la the testimony of the Denver Business Men's League, composed of 5.000 businesa men, partly Republicans, partly Democrats and partly recent Populists. Populist rule in Colorado Is compared by the league to a devastating forest fire, which, by destroying the credit of the State, has caused values to shrink two-thirds. So blighting has been this Influence that It is Impossible to borrow on a gold mine one dollar on five dollars' worth of ore In sight, and men with money to Invest in agriculture or manufacturing avoid Colorado as they would a pest hou?e. The lesson of Colorado Is worth careful study by the voters of other States wlrh a leaning towards Populism. Upon Colorado has fallen the heaviest penal ilea of Populism, for the two-fold reason that ita Governor was the craziest crank of the entire list of Populist Governors, and that its chief Industry, mining for the precious metals, could not be curried on without large capital. Kansas, another of the Populist States, has suffered In credit only in a slightly lesser degree, however, and both States are rightfully regarded by men with capital to lend or invest In buslne!s as the two States In all the Union mo.n to be avoided. Populism has proved the most costly craze ever entertained by the people of either, and It is no wonier that the business men of Denver are calling for the overthrow of Populism as the only means of restoring prosperity to Colorado. If the effcts of Populism have bee.i eo baleful as to reduce the credit of a State, the borrowing power of whose property once ranked next to New York, to a condition of actual paralysis, what guarantee has Georgia or North Carolina, or Illinois, or any other State, North, Scuth. East or West, of immunity from a like destruction of credit and prosperity In the case of Popurt success? Populism is the costHi'st political fad since the days of seceris-n. and the sooner the people of every kate take the lessons of Colorado and Ivansaa t heart the better for their peace of mind and pecuniary prosperity.

It was the funeral of Mrs. Harrison I had in charge this afternoon Is the probable carse of the error made by the reporter, as above stated. CHARLES T. .WIHTSETT.

Until 1SC2 there were no officers In the United States navy of higher rnk than captain, except in 18T3, when Chal as Stewart was commissioned "senior flag officer." In July, l2, David F. Farragut was made a rear admiral, and the act provided for "tLe three senior rear admirals to wear a square blue flag at the mainmast head, the next three at the foremast head, and all others at the mlzzen. It was with his plain blue square, flag at the mainmast head of the Hartford that Farragut passed the forts on the Mississippi and captured New Orleans. Farragut received his commission Aug. 12. 1SC2, and the next morning, on the hoisting of the colors, his flag was run up for the first time at the main, when It was saluted by the whole squadron. This was the first salute ever received by Farragut's flag. Subsequently Farragut carried his flag at the mlzzen, as vice admiral It flew at the fore, and on July 20. 18, as full admiral, it floated from the main. When the President of the United States visits a man-of-war the American ensign is hoisted at the main, and remains- until the distinguished guest takes nis departure. The President also has a standard, consisting of the coat-of-arms of the United State on a blue field, and was first displayed at the main by President Arthur on ths presidential yacht Dispatch. The standard was adopted in 18S2. The Secretary of the Navy has a distinctive flag of blue, with a white foul anchor and four whits stare. On July 4. 1S30, five great American Hags were displayed on the center of the dome of the national Capitol, from the tholus and under the feet of the statue of Liberty.

The code Is made up of one burgee or swallow-tailed flag, thirteen square flags and five pennants. The signal book la divided into different topical headings, by which the signals may be known at & great distance or in calms. As an example, two flag signals, having a pennant uppermost, are compass signals; four flag signals, having a pennant uppermost are spelling signals or names of men-of-war, and four flag signals, having th square flag uppermost, are names of merchant vessels. The question is often arked, why does a man-of-war carry a pennant at the main? The admiral carries a flag at the main, vice admiral at the fore, rear admiral at the mlzzen, a commodore his broad pennant at the main, and the ordinary captain or commander of lesser rank a narrow pennant at the main, which is not to b regarded as an emblem of rank, but as significant of command and that the vessel is of a pub'.ic character. ' The navigation officer of a United States vessel has charge of all flags- and signals. The national flag is displayed at the main wfren the President comes on board, and only hoisted at the main for the Vice President in the event of his visiting an American m.vn-of-war in a foreign port. An ex-President is received with th same honors prescribed for the President. except the display of the national flag and the manning of the yard. A foreign sovereign or chief magistrate of any foreign republic is received with the same honors prescribed for the President of the United States, except that the flag of his own country shall be displayed at the main. A black flag Is usually supposed to be adopted by pirates; a white flag Is used as a flag of truce and a symbol of surrender; a red flag Is hoisted when powder Is being received or discharge!; a yellow flag is universally known as the quarantine symbol; a flag at half-mast means mourning, that a death has occurred on board; a flag union down is a signal of distress. No vesfel of the United States navy Is allowed to lower her salU or dip her colon to another vessel of the navy, and It is only when a foreign vessel or merchant ves sel of the United States dip their colors or lower railj the compliment shall be instant ly returned. On July ZS. 183, a general order wai Issued providing for "honors" to the' colors, with the following routine to be observed on nil menof-war 'and naval stations: "When a ban! is present it will play at morning colors 'The Ktar-ppanglel Banner;' at evening colors 'Hall Coluir.Ua All persons present belonging to the navy, not so employed as to render it impracticable, will face towflrd the colors and salute as the ensign reachs th peak or truck la hoisting, or the taffrall or ground In hauling down. "When the flagship Is present with vessels of foreign nations, after 'The Ptnrepangled Banner is played, the national hymn of eica nation will follow, commenc- . ln; with that belonging to the nation in whose port the ships are." In the navies of some European countries when the colors are hauled down they ar received by a commission j u,n.tr, .. ... perK'ms on deck take off their cap a a mark of rcspecL
