AMUKMKNTS. Grand Kelt i Morris. The interesting play of the double bill with which Felix Morris opened his engagement at the Grand last night was his own adaptation from the French, christened "Behind the Scenes." It contains a thrilling bit of realism treated from the standjflnt of the ideal. The role taken by "Mr. Morris is a French character part, a poverty-stricken, ,but urbane, flattering and shrewd old actor himself, whose days of active usefulness on the boards hag long since passed and whose ambition Is to bring about the debut of his gifted daughter. Tills introduces Mr. Morris in another of those precious characterization? on the order of the "Old Musician" and in whleh he is probably not excelled. The realism alluded to Is contained in the view of the stag; behind the scenes, one act being a rehearsal and the next during a performance supposed to be taking place. There is a French flavor to the role of the leading woman and her associations with that very essential personage, the "angel" or backer of the company. Nothing save the faintest suggestion Is left in Mr. Morris's adaptation, but it Is enough to satisfy the public, which always has its own ideas, of how some actresses are able to maintain prominent positions while others of perhaps more merit never get out of the ranks. The plot is flimsy and with less novel situation would hardly be considered sufficient for three acts, but with Felix Morris's consummate skill in multiplying details there is no reason why "Behind the Scenes' might not be slightly lengthened and made to serve for an entire night's performance. Briefly it is as follows; Dufard's daughter having been associated with Miss Heresford, a star at the Theater Itoyal, is familiar with the leading role in which her doting father has taken great lalns to drill her. On the day of the opening performance the star quarrels with the "angel" and refuses to attend a rehearsal. Uut of pique she leaves the theater and declares she will not appear that night. Did Dufard's opportunity has arrived. He introduces his daughter to the manager, a trial rehearsal atisrtes both the author and the manager and they decide, to give the performance with the new actress in the leading part. When the curtain Is about to be rung up, the "angel" appears with the mar who has changed her mind and determines to play her part. Old Daford sees the success of his life melting away in an instant, but he executes a startling coup. While Miss Heresford is In her dressing room. Dufard rings up the curtain himself and shoves his daughter out on the stage before the audience. Her triumph is Instantaneous and the discomfited star beats a retreat. A poetic sadnetfs, no matter how grotesque the character, pervades all of Felix Morris's personations. It would probably be Impossible for him to give what Is styled a popular burlesque, for with all his laughable "make ups" and interpretations if the ridiculous in human nature, he touches the heart by bringing out meritorious traits of the character taken that appeal to the strongest sympathies of the audience. It would be impossible, for instance, not t take a personal interest In the succasr.ful debut of Dufard's daughter after all the sincere efforts of her father whose sublime belief in her talents N so touching portrayed by Morris. While liis French enthusiasm results in many lauRhable acts convulsing tha audience, each laugh Is followed by throat-aching p:ttho and unbidden tears fill the eyes. Morris overlooks no opportunity to call Into Jlay his remarkable power for playing on the heart strings of his ' audience, t-ometime it is done by the suffering depicted In the tone of his voice, but Is often accomplished by covertly wiping away an imaginary tear with one of those ugly colorud auk handkerchiefs which he is never without. Morris Is ever springing surprises jn novel stage business and has a most laughable bit of thin sort In "Behind the Scenes." With his daughter on his nrm he ccmes down to the orchestra to llay the drum. The musicians for the time being v constitute the orchestra at the Theater Koval during n rehearsal. Uertrui "liivers, as Dufard's daughter, ?uffctia from on artistic standpoint, because of - hr constant nearness to Mr. Morris throughout the play. It could hardly be aid that vhe feels the part.

Carl Hagenbeck's troupe of trained animals which have been performing for the past seven months at New York will arrive in this city from Cincinnati on Sunday afternoon by special train of twelve cars. They will be immediately transferred from the traveling cages to their quarters at English's Opera House, where they will be put through their paces twice daily during the coming week. This famous aggregation which made its debut in this country on the Midway, at the world's fair, consists of seventeen lions, eight tigers, six bears, five leopards, .two hyenas, two elephants, ten Shetland; 'ponies, twenty-five boar hounds, three seals, three pigs, four horses, twelve cockatoos, sixteen monkeys, fifteen French poodle dogs. Extensive alterations will have to be made to place on the stage of this theater the huge steel cage, which was used at the wrld's fair and which weighs ten tons. To set this cage on the stage entails the labor of twenty of the Hagenbeck workingmen, the present stage having to be extended out over the orchestra, over which an entire new floor will have to be laid to sustain the weight. Separate cages for the animals are set in the rear. Run-ways are being built through which the animals will be driven into the fifty-foot cage and in which they are to perform. On Monday night the first performance will be given at 8:13 and the engagement continues every evening during the week with daily matinee after Monday. The management has made it a special feature that children be, admitted for half price to the lower floor at the evening performances. The matineea are at the usual popular prices. ; Marlowe Roasted in IloMon. Julia Marlowe Taber Is storming Boston with "The School for Scandal" this week, and thus far she has been severely repulsed. The Boston Journal has the following telling criticism of her Lady, Teazle that will Interest Indianapolis theater-goers: "The comedy was presented by Miss Marlowe's company with much spirit, brilliancy and not a little of the antique flavor which a'Us to the plcturesqueness of the dramas of a by-gone era, but It is to be regretted that the weakest point In the acting was the charcterlzatlon of Lady Teazle presented by Miss Marlowe. She never reached above the dull plane of jcommonplaceness, and although always Interesting she was neither convincing nor sincere. Her good humor was abounding even in the quarrel scenes, and one could not help wondering why she continually smiled at her detested husband, even in the midst of what was supposed to be the intensest passion. Her Lady Teazle had too many of the Marlowe characteristics; there was that same piquant smile, the lifting of the chin, those little awkward movements of the hand and those pretty facial expressions which go very well with such characters as Rosalind and Viola In some of their moods, but seem entirely out of place in Lady Teazle. In the scandal scenes Miss Marlowe was hardly more than a lay figure: in the screen scene she was a truthful picture of penitence as she stood clinging to the curtains, but her contrition when uttered did not bear the seal of sincerity, all because of that lurking smile which hung about the corners of her mouih. A young Lady Teazle Is to be desired, but It is probably true, as in the case of Juliet, that no actress cm int rpret the character until she la too old to look it. Tb eutirs performance was

Miss Marlowe was enthusiastically, received, but it is to be hoped that she will not take the enthusiasm and applause which greeted her as a discretionary judgment upon her acting of Lady Teazle." Slff. Vitale Playing. The Vitale concert thi3 evening at Meridian-street Church will be one of the notable musical events of the season. The violinist, Giuseppe Vitale, whose playing is most highly praised by all critics of standing in this country, is the bright particular star of the entertainment.

Rice to restrain her from singing in the United States or Canada, except under his management. This injunction was asked as an enforcement of a negative covenant in the contract between the songstress and the manager. The contract was made on Nov. 27, 1893, and Miss d'Arville was engagsd as prima donna of Rice's compmy Sept. 12, 1894, for a season of thirty-five weeks. For this he agreed to pay her $450 a week when in Ww York or Boston and ?,VX a week clef where. Mr. Rice was to pay steamboat f;nd rauroaci iransporianun, uui. inn .a"ic hire. Mr. Rice In July, 1894, notified Miss d'Arville that he expected her in New York at the rehearsal of "Little Christopher Columbus." She declined to go. The decision is important as being upon the enforcement of a negative covenant in a co!:lr.ict tor personal services. What It Cost to Teach MrM. Carter. XEW YORK, Jan. 3.

GEORGE ELIOT AMi IIR. CHAPMAN. Ills Influence Said to Have Aft'eeted Uenelielally Her Earlier Novels. London Truth. Dr. John Chapman, a guileless, genial, unworldly person, who stood on a nigh peak of science and intellect, died recently. His mind and manner were full of sweetness and light, and his face not less so. Dr. Chapman was the handsomest man, 1 think, I ever saw when he came to settle here twenty years ago. Notwithstanding his modern evening suit he seemed to me the first time X met hint a Jove without the thunderbolts. It was a pity for his own sake that he had not a Mercury at his elbow to prompt him, for he had no perception of the motives of other men and had no address when some paltry intrigue against him was to be defeated. He paid small social shams the too great compliment of opposing them. It would have been so much better to turn them. He was anything but a money grubber, but he afforded nis rival an excuse for crying him down as one. The angle of vantage was given them by bis having patented (to keep them, he said, out of the hands of quacks) his inilia rubber bags for hot water or ice applications to the spine to excite or benumb the nervous system. It is- too soon to repeat the conversations I had with Dr. Chapman about his own relations and those of George Henry Lewes with George Eliot, who made her debut in literature under Dr. Chapman's auspices. She lived at his house when she was working as a translator of German philosophical books, and she left it in a silent rage, the cause of which he fully explained under the condition of nothing being said about them until he had been some time dead. Metaphorically speaking, she went off on the arm of Lewes, one of the ugliest men alive. Lewes knew to what market he could most advantageously take her writings, but encouraged a latent egotism that marred her later works, though it did not spoil their immediate sale. The novels written when the Chapman influence was fresh were transparantly unaffected, as' he himself was. Dr. Chapman, and the amiable and excellent lady who shared his life in Paris, had a charming house. He took wealthy patients as boarders. Amusement had -to be found for thetn. Dinners and evening parties were given for this end, at which eminent and interesting persons from every land under the sun were to be met. There was always at the so:rees the best music, and not too much of It just enough to enable the lions to rest from conversation. Ladies and the meilleur monde came in their smartest belongings. Yet the spirit of the house was so unworldly that one would not have been surprised if Plato and his friends of the academy had dropped in to talk, or the family of Bethany and their Divine friend entered to escape from respectable Pharisees. One can only understand why the early novels of George Eliot were so far above the later by a comparison of the Chapman and the Lewes Influences. Poor Chapman called himself a secularist and fancied himself an atheist. The truth is. he was an out-and-out Sermon-on-the-Mountist. A Direct Intimation. Detroit Free Press. No body knew exactly how long the young man had been going to see the girl, and sometimes she thought U must have been forever and would continue to that dat. In any event he had never come to the point, and there were occasions inuumerable when he could have said the fatal words and did not. One evening 'he was talking to her about the advancement of woman truly a fine subject for a man who never made any progress himself, thought the girl. lj you think, Mis3 Fannie." he said, "that the time will ever come when women will propose to the men?" She lifted up her beautiful eyes and looked him squarely in the face. : ."Never, Mr. Smith," she replied. "If they are anything like you are."

Man Who Needs IMO Inehew Can Get Pointer from Freda Maul. Slecial to the Indianapolis Journal. MUNCIE, Ind.. Jan. 3 John Gainer who was so badly burned Nov. 15 by the explosion of a mud drum at the Findly rolling mill company's works, formerly the Darnell iron works, now for the first time has chances favoring his recovery. Gainer's injuries were excruciating and were pronounced by all except Drs. Cowing and Kemper to be fatal. The flesh from the hips to the ankles was burned. Here anc! there were vestiges of skin but not enough to aid materially in producing a new cover for Gainer's limbs. There was only one recourse and that to graft skin. The process of grafting is slow. The skin can be applied only in pieces the size of a grain of wheat or half that an applications can be made only once a week. Those who have contributed so far are Mrs. Gainer, her son Leo, aged ten, Patrick Manning and Charles Gibbs. The contribution has not been extensive as yet. Many more will be asked to contribute because such a large amotint Is needed. Only about one-halft "takes," the other half becomes dead and drops off. Gainer has been compelled to be on his back seven weeks. He has now about sixty square Inches of skin for which he is very grateful. He realizes his condition and the efforts that are being made to save his life. Dr. Cowing, who is superintending the operation, thinks the man has good chances for recovery. Gainer was an iron worker. IN JAIL FOR KIDNAPING. Divorced Man Follows Ilia Wife and 1 Get Into Trouble. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH.

AKRON, Ohio, Jan. 3. Col. A. L. Conger, who is the president of the Diamond Plate Glass Company of Kokomo and Elwood, Ind., was to-day shown a copy of the dispatch from Mr. C. B. McLean, of the Pittsburg Plate Glass Company, which appeared in tha morning papers of yesterday in which Mr. McLean said that the Diamond company had notified them that they ould cut the price in plate glass 20 per cent. Colonel Conger said: "This dispatch is erroneous so far as our company is concernad and does us injustice. The facts are that the plate glass business has been badly demoralized for the past year or more, owing to the preat -change in business wrought by the j-anic. All the companies have been4 selling glass at more than 40 per cent, less than we were prior to the panic. For s?veral weeks past we have been in frequent session trying to see how we could cheapen the cost of production, but we have not agreed on any plan. We are no,v entering on the dull months for the sale ani consumption of plate glass, and each factory is anxious to get orders to run its plant through the winter months and to keep its labor employed. Tha Diamond company is in the position of every other company in the business, and simply meets competition to retain its business, just as all the Pittsburg companies do. We sell our product in the West and must of necessity take care of our trade, and we expect b?tter" prices when business revives this year." Van Hook on Trial for Him Life.

Her Account of Ihe Wrltlnis of "Shi pal That Pass In the . Night." McClure's Magazine. ' I gathered much of the material out oC ' which the book was built at Peterehof, at moutain health resort, probably identified by many people. I was there myself for . six or seven months, and during that tim was too ill to have any thoughts of writing a book or to take mental notes of tha sufferers around me. It was more than a year after leaving Petershof, when I was supposed to have gained a certain amount of strength, that I was strongly urged by those who loved me to take up my writing once more; and, moreover, my hand, which, for some time had been entirely useless, was still a very troublesome member, often fickle and uncontrollable. But this did not fret me so much as the bereftnuss; it was that which made me feel that it was folly to waste the time and energy on attempts which were foregone failures. I should never have gone on with my task but for ths tender solicitude of the friends to whom the little book was dedicated. It was written chiefly .in their home, and I count it my greatest pleasure in remembering how deep an interest they took in every sentence, and how gratified they were when I seemed to be less dissatisfied than usual with my morning's efforts. And here, perhaps, it would not be out of place to say that, before falling ill, I had attained to a certain amount of quiet success, having, .of course, passed through the usual round of disappointments, all of them well merited, and useful as stepping stones in that apprenticeship which every workman must have. But I confined myself almost entirely to the Ehort story, for I felt, and have been told, too, that this was the best way of preparing for a longer and more sustained attempt; and I had no wish to rush headlong into a novel, and , then have cause to regret my hastiness. But after waiting some time I did begin a novel, and had written about twelve chapters of it when I was obliged to give up work, and the twelve chapters were laid on one side and afterwards burnt, a circumstance which has ever sinca caused me unmixed satisfaction. But to return to the book which was not burnt. . The suggestion that I should go back to my old occupation weighed heavily on me, for I was quite out of practice and out of touch. When I began my work again I had no idea of inventing a story about Petershof: but as I bent lazily over the blank sheet of paper, memories of the Kurhaus came crowding over me, and much to my own astonishment, the first chapter contrived Itself. But that did not help me greatly, for I could not think what to make out of the characters which I had thus -casually introduced on the scene; but I went on in a dull kind of Aay, not knowing from one sentence to another what I was going to say next. And, indeed, it was not until I arrived at the thirteenth chapter that I felt I was beglnnig to take hold of my pecple and to form some vague idea of what might possibly be done with them. But fur all that, it was a very vague idea; and, Indeed, the dimness of purpose pursued me to the last word of the book. The great drawback javas that I could not use my hand for wiore than a quarter of an hour or so at a time; and in consequence of this hindrance, my work seemed to me hopelessly disconnected, done- in such snatches, and without the advantage of continuous application. But with the exception of a word, here and there. I made no alterations, and the pages stand just as I originally wrote them. The second chapter in the first part, containing a few details about my heroine's life previous to her departure for Petershof, was written last of all, and gave me some trouble. I knew, of course, that I should have to account for Bernardine's existence, and refer, how.ever briefly, to her surroundings; but I put this off to the end. shirking the difficulty until I i was obliged to turn and face it. In reading novels I have always felt irritated when the author gives a long and detailed account of the back history of his characters and I determined to try and avoid a tedlousness from which I myself had so often suffered, just at a point, too, where my interest, had been, aroused in the present, and where the past seemed an unwelcome intrusion. So I made my second chapter as short as possible, and felt more than thankful that Bernardine had only one relation. A Correetlon. New York Press. "Who is the author of the song, Xleit Bolt?'
