Bill Hoey, "Old Hoss,". and his own company 'n "The Globe Trotter" will be at the Grand to-night and the rest of the week. There is a great deal of life In "The Globe Trotter. The company is exceptionally good, but William Hoey Is the most amusing element ' In the performance. He is called the tramp, and masquerades both as a woman and an English lord. One cannot watch Hoey and keep from laughing. He pervades the piece, talking a little and ninjrjng a little in that extraordinary way of his against all vocal laws, no tune, no time, but it is always very funny. With Jlo-ey on the stage most all the time the audience is in no danger of finding a dull moment. Hoey has surrounded himself with such people as Frederic llryton, M. A. Kennedy, Louis Del.ar.ge, Burton Collver. R. IV Abbey, Mrs. Dion Bouclcault (Ioulse Thcrndyke). Miss (Jerome Kdwardy and AdaAlexandra. Hoey still sings "The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo." and another song of like character, entitled. "I Went to Paris with Papa," which bids fair, to become equally popular. . . lllttli PralMc for AVlillc!lr. Despite the ungencrcun criticisms passed upon .-him. .by the-New York press. Walker "Whiteside, ihe yotm? t.iakspearean player, makes- friend? fast and se?tirv among conservative Fhakspoarran scholars. Appleton Morgan, president of thex Shnkspearean Societies of New York city, has, the following to say: "i desire to place myself on record as prophesying that Walker Whiteside stand: on tho threshold of a great career. Anyone who rupposes that the part of Hamlet can he played by rote or by imitation of chc.en model, or without long and intense mntal and physical labor, or without a nntural Intellectual fitness for and attraction to the character, can speedily ascertain for himself by trying it. 1 congratulate Mr. Whiteside on his conscientious performance, on h's exceptional fitness for the part: on his earnestness and deliberation; and. above all. on his exceedingly happy choice of readings this latter a maze wlifrt-in many older men have lost themselves." Vnlnt it I It a Vlitrn There will be a new net of living pictures shown at the Tark to-day by the "Wilbur Orra Company.

"Nancy? is a unique and clever entertainment In which dainty Fanny Rice will be seen at English's Opera House next Monday " evening. It Is a musical comedy that is spoken of as a "volcano of merriinent ana music," in which the delightful little woman has the best oportunlty of her career as a singer and laugh-maker. Fields & Hanson's "Drawing Cards" companjv at the Kmpire. is well named. It Ja made up of capable people who give a first-class vaudeville show. Charles V.

It is hinted that George Kdwardes, ofi the London Gaiety Theater, is after Miss Fox's services. ' For what is not stated. -Nat Roth will manage Jefferson De Angelis next season in that quaint comedian's first starring tour. . . . f William FV Bland, originally an actor, but of late years' an "advance man," will have the leading role In Hoyt's "A Runaway Colt-In which Capt. A. C. Ansott Is to have a Tart. A letter from Burt Dasher announces that Hoyt was to leave the Pacific coast on Monday for New -York to conduct the rehearsals of . "A Runaway Colt." "A Contented Woman." in which Mrs. Hoyt takes the leading role, has been doing wonderful business In the West according to Mr. Dasher's letter. The piece will be here In, three weeks. It has been a long: time since there appeared In the amusement columns of any New York; paper such praise of a show as was written " this week of Smith & Herbert's "The Wizard of the Nile.; in which opera Frank' Daniels, under tha management" of Kirk La Shelle and Arthur Clark, opened the. New York Casino. The New York Recorder says: Don't miss bearing 'The Wizard of the Nile and don't miss seeing Frank Daniels. The combination proved irresistible at the Casino. The audience filled every nook and cranny of the Moorish building. Daniels was at. his funniest. You all know him; quaintly' comic In his methods, with a grotesque little holy and a mug mug is the very word-that would make a sphynx srrile. He kept his hearers in roars all the time last night. What mattered It that, as sn.l'gyptlan sorcerer of long ago, he spoke the slang and gave us the iokes of to-day? What that his method were precisely those made familiar by 'A Rag Baby' and 'Little Puck?" He was funny, and an audience thirsty for something to laugh at. voted him a benefactor. After the numerous dreary and unhappy attempts at mirth, as exampled In recent musical skits and by rast-lron comedians, welcome, oh, welcome, Frank Darnels, and welcome, thrice welcome. Wizard of the Nil " . Ir. TlottleyV. Recital. At the Invitation of Mr. W. IT. Donley here was a large audience at Plymouth Church last evening to hear his organ recital, the first one of the sixth scries. The choice numbers which always constitute Mr. Donley's programmes were up to their usual standard and not a few of tlim were from the great operas, arranged by the organist from the corr. The Chopin r."c:turz la G" was muca more beautiful

under his skillful manipulation of the varioustone effects obtainable In the great organ than possible In the usual piano arrangement and was one of the best numbers of the evening Every selection was a pern and waa admirably Interpreted by this master of the organ. Other compositions "were the Andante from Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, with Its . varied work about a pleasing theme; "Prayer and Cradle Song" and 'Torchlight Procession," by Guilmant, on of the greatest composers. Mr. Donley was assisted by Mr. Karl Schneider, baritone, and Mr. Charles Khrtcr, violin. Mr. Schneider sang "Pro Peccatls," from Rossini's "Stabat Mater." and. for a recall, a election with organ, and violin accompaniment which was even more beautiful than the first. Mr. Ehrlcke played with rare skill, an Adagio, by Merkel. written expressly for the violin and organ. The concert was the first of a series of ten which -will be given through the season. The next will be Thursday, Nov. 14, at 4 o'clock. The appreciation shown at last night's programme will doubtless bring out many lovers of good music to hear the other nine concerts. Mr. Donley will be assisted at each by prominent local and visiting talent and make the recitals better thac ever, If that Is possible. THOUSANDS OF ROSES TO DAY.

A Feature of the Chrysanthemum . . Shdrr A Backward Season. The finest display of orchids ever seen in this city is to be seen this week at the chrysanthemum show. Last year there were - a few of these rare flowers shown, but .this year there is a great .display of thetrr.- Quite a large number of plants are in the collection and also a number of vases filled with the blossoms. The arrangement of it is most attractive. The display is burled within, a galaxy of ferns and vines at the foot of the -stage in Tomlinson Hall. Ranged in front on the floor is a half circle of small . palms to keep the visitors from getting too close to these flowers. Back of the orchids are three mirrors, festooned with smllaa and other greeps, so that they ' are scarcely distinguishable. The effect is to make it appear that the display of orchids is several times as largeas it really Is, although quite large In fact. Many people have looked upon the display and marveled at its size without discovering the hidden mirrors. The mass of palms that hides from view the musicians has called for many comments. -.It is not so much the arrangement as the great variety and profusion of plants. They are banked in front and upon the. stage in such a manner that little more than an occasional moving arm can be seen while the band Is playing. In the chrysanthemums there are many novelties shown and more will be placed on exhibition to-day. The new seedlings have not yet been seen. They are not in good condition for showing when they arrived here and it was decided to hold them back till to-day for. an additional attraction and to give them a chance, in a place more suited, to their nature, to recover from the exposure of shipment. In this class there are several entirely new colors .and combinations; some that rre almost freaks. In the older plants there are some that are of . rare beauty. The Pitcher & Manda, named for the firm that produced it from an Importation of a few years ago from Japan, is one of the most beairtlful of the established varieties. It is a bright lemon yellow In the center, while the -edges are white, without the slightest tinge of yellow. The marking is more distinct than In any variety yet produced. The effect of the two colors, the lemon shading off, gradually becoming lighter until it is a pure white with nothing to mar ita perfect clearness, is "most striking. The flower is very large and few of them ever fall to'-show the same perfect! marking. Among the novelties is the Rider Haggard. It has a lavender center and white border.- In general appearance, though not. In color, the flower resembles a double sunflower. It is entirely different from anything yet produced in the chrysanthemum line. The Yellow Sport of Queen Is the only new seedling that has been shown yet. It is in form the same as the well known -Queen, the largest and most beautiful of the globe-shaped white chrysanthemums. In color it is a rich creamy jellow, .with scarcely enough yellow to show that-it is that color that give it its tint. . ' To-day. There will be several thousand roses shown. This Is the special feature of the show to-day. Two premiums are offered. The collections In one class must be of not less than two hundred blooms and. Irv the other of not less than three hundred. There will be several entries in each class, making a very large number of blooms to be seen. This will be in addition to the regular rose exhibit that has been seen. The season this year has been a little backward. A large number of the chrysanthemums that have been forced are Just now opening sufficiently to give an idea of what they will be. This has kept the Indianapolis growers from making much show , for most of their plants are backward and not yet out. In many cities the chrysanthemum show has been postponed a week or two weeks on this account. This show always attracts exhibits from the leading growers of Ohio and Michigan. sr that the slowness of the plants in this city has . not marred the beauty of the exhibit, but has made it more foreign than usual. - . ,' "-CITY' SEWS XOTES.

The Roynl Match. New York Commercial Advertiser. The betrothal- of the rrlneess Maud of Wales to, the young Prince of Denmark Is not an occasion of much rejoicing among that younc woman1 friends. She is. by far, tho most attractive of the Prince of Wales's daughters. She has less of that heavy, dull look which- js characteristic of the children of the heir apparent. Rumor has it that for some time she has had a persistent suitor in a young guardsman in the Prince's household, but as English taxpayers put out their money for royalty . they desire to get an equivalent, for it.; Matches between subjects and members of the royal family are very unpopular In England, and It is difficult to find two men who have to endure the sneers and snubs of tho British people more than the Duke of Fife and the Marquis of Lome. In faot the English people wlh not have it. and they . even prefer penniless German Princes. The Princess Maud Is very clever and quite original, and. Indeed, a most charming girl. he will marry a man several years younger than herself and will go to dear grandma's court the domestic circle surrounding; the Queen oi Denmark. Besides the parties being first cousins, the match Is not-a brilliant one in any way, and it has excited no enthusiasm In England. But, then, what are you are going to do? Perhaps it wculd have been better to have remained single for a while longer. Princesses of the blood have a very good time, and many of the daughters of old King George lived in single blessedness, and the two or. three he had about eight. I believe who married did not do so until thev had passed their fortieth year. Grandma "VVetttn cannot live always,: and she Is at about the end of her tether . and papa must be King within a few years. Reasonable Enongh. Philadelphia Record. The recent earthquake In Indiana has improved the flow of natural gas from the' gas wells in that tate 60 per cent. Such a result might reasonably be expected as the result of a subterranean Shaking up. It has for years been the practice of the owners of oil wells to explode charges of nltro-glycerin in the oil-producing rock, thus creating miniature earthquakes, for Hie purpose of Increasing the outflow of oil.

The New Orleans Picayune suggests that the Vice President, who has no other way of earning his salary when the Senate in not in session, should do the hand-shaking for the President. Happy thought!

FIGHT WITH ROBBERS

FOUR .PEOPLE IX A SURREY "IIELIl VP IX nANDOL.IH conTY. Judge Lairy, of Logansport, Derides Against Section 4 of th Mcholon Larr State Jferrs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal FARMLAND, Ind., Nov. 6. Elmer Franklin, a prominent farmer living about three miles southeast of here, started to Farmland about 6 o'clock last night in a surrey, accompanied by his wife, daughter and brother-in-law, William Brown, of Indianapolis. When about two miles from town they noticed two men standing by the roadside, but, suspecting no danger, attempted to pass, when one of the men suddenly grabbed the horse while the other made demands for money. Mr. Franklin whipped his horse and attempted to break away from the grasp of the highwaymen, but not succeeding he leaped from the vehicle and grappled with the man holding the horse. His brother-in-law also jumped from the surrey and ran to Mr. Franklin's assistance, the other man in the meantime having retreated behind the carriage. The robber holding the horse, seeing that he would soon be overpowered, drew a revolver and commenced shooting. .The first ball struck Mr. Franklin in the left side, near the heart, hitting a rib and producing a painful though not dangerous wound. Seeing that the man was going to shoot again, Mr. Franklin feigned being badly wounded and fell to the ground. The second robber then exclaimed, "Come on. Bill; them fellers have no money," and started up the road, followed by his companion. Mr. Brown's attention was demanded by the horses, which were now badly scared, and about to upset the carriage containing the frightened wife and daughter. Mr. Franklin, although wounded, started in pursuit, thinking he might get close enough to recognize the men, but one of them suddenly drew a revolver and sent a bullet through his hat, which had the effect of checking his desire of pursuit. Leaving the wife and daughter at a neighbor's, Mr. Franklin and his brother-in-law hastened to town and had his wound dressed and telephoned a description of the highwaymen to the sheriff at Winchester. A searching party, composed of several citizens, besides the sheriff, have been searching the country over without any trace of the robbers. Several other "hold-ups" have been reported about here lately, and excitement runs high. A scheme is on foot to procure bloodhounds, and hereafter all such cases as the above will be run down. FLAW IX XICHOLSOX LAW. Logansport Judge Decides Affnlnst Section" 4. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LOGANSPORT, Ind., Nov. 6.-Judge M. B. Lalry. of the Circuit Court, to-day rendered a decision on the Nicholson law similar to that of Judge Taylor, of Terre Haute. He holds that the fourth section of the law is inoperative for the reason that to secure a conviction under It the accused would have to be proved guilty of violating each clause, of " the section. The decision was rendered in the case against J. P. Sebastian. Sebastian has a saloon on Fourth street and this was connected with a room on Broadway occupied by a restaurant. The arrest was made under Section 2. but the penalty had to be found in Section 4. Judge Lairy held that to apply, the penalty in this clause it would be necessary to find the defendant guilty of all tho sections. The case will be appealed. W. F. 31. S. Convention.

DIPHTHERIA i. CATS. Household rets, Xot Water, Responsible for the. Dread 31 a lady. Chicago Tlmcs-HeraKl. ' - An old-time physician of Chicago, now retired, finds that the. ordinary house cat may be the means of spreading diphtheria far and wide. This man of medicine-contemns the idea that lrinking water can be an agent in carrying germs. t , The rrfan who abjures Hyde Park water and puts in his spare? time fondling his cat Is called upon to abjure the cat. If he has been restrained by the hitherto generally accepted tenet of science that danger lurks in drinking water. -In certain districts ho can take the doctorIs word for it and begin with a new tipple. ' t Or. again. If he, has been boiling his water, he can boll his cat. This is the way the scientist states his, case: . "Instead of trying to make A scapegoat of Chicago drinking water, as many people are trying to do in : connection with the large number of cases' of diphtheria now in Chicago, families containing small children would do well - to look after, their own cats, as well as any stray cats that may be found on the premises.. As a means of communicating diphtheria, and of carrying the disease from one household to another, the common house cat Is probably more dangerous even than Children suffering with the disease, for as. a rule the. latter arc watched carefully and quarantined in most cases "The medical evidence showing that cats not only contract and suffer : from diphtheria, but convey the poison even when they themselves remain well, i abundant. In addition, to the evidence from foreign countries and from other parts of the Lnited States, two small epidemics, in Illinois have been traced directly to. cats that had diphtheria. The more interesting of these cases occurred at the little village of Worden, In Madison county. In August. 1S91. A few miles out of Worden was a: family with some small children who had a throat trosMe that was found to be .diphtheria. Sevcxal kittens in the household were the pets of tho children. The kittens were taken sick, showing the usual symptoms of diphtheria in cats. Two of these kittens, Jun at the beginning of their illness, were given to men living in Worden who took them home as pets for their children. Both of these kittens died within a few days. One of the children took diphtheria, and thus was begun a localited epidemic which Infected about one dozen children and killed about half of those affected.

"There is absolutely no sotentiflc foundation for believing that the germs of .diph theria may be carried. in drinking water Nor is there any proor mat tney may be carried in any food not directly contaminated by a person suffering with diphtheria. But the facts that cats take the disease aad die of it, and that they can convey it even when not sick, should be a' warning to all persons during an -epidemic of diphtheria to separate their children and their cats, and certainly to banish the cat from tha house the moment it begins to cough or to show other signs of beln sick." The duck-billed otter 4s also said to be a prime agent for carrying diphtheria, but the only Chicago famllyt that owned one has moved away.

The funeral will be held In this city Tuesday afternoon and the remains prpoahly will be interred in Philadelphia." .. . . Elizabeth Croclcer Bowers was born in Stamford, Conn., March 12, 1830. She was tha daughter of an Episcopal clergyman, who died while she was a child. She early evinced a predilection for thes stage and when only , sixteen " yearr old made her debut at" the Park Theater, New York, in the legitimate drama.. A year later she married David P. Bowers, a famous oldtime actor, a member of the company in which she was playing. A week later she appeared in the Walnut-streeto Theater, Philadelphia, as Donna Victoria in "A Bold Stroke for a Husband." Afterward she became very' popular at the Arch-street Theater in the same city and played there until her husband's death in 1857. After a few months' retirement from the stage Airs. Bowers leased the Walnut-street Theater and managed it for two years. She then leased the Philadelphia Academy of Music for. a short season. She married Dr. Brown, of Baltimore, the next year, and in September, 1861, went to Kngland and made her appearance at Sadler's lls Theater, London, as Julia in "The Hunchback." v For two years she remained an immense favorite in England. In 1853 she returned to thi3 country and played at the Winter Garden, New York. At that time she was recognized as the leading emotional actress in the country, and In the years of that decade she played with nearly all the famous old-time actors In America. In 1867 her husband, . Dr. Brown, died, after which she traveled as a star over the. country, playing two seasons in Chicago at the head ot McVicker's stock company in 1870 and 1S71. Her career from that time has been an open book to the old-time theater-goers. It was about that time that 6he made her famous hit in "Lady Audley's Secret," .taking the role of Lady Audley as no other. American actress has ever been able to do. After several years of widowhood Mrs. Bowers married her -leading man, J. T. McCollum, one of the. prominent actors of the country. Who had been starring with her several seasons. . They organized a company and toured. the country for several years in legitimate drama. Their last appearance in this city was about twelve years ago, when they played at English's. Mrs. Bowers then retired from ' the- stage until 1886, when she organized a dramatic company and visited the principal cities of the United States, playing her old and favorite characters. For th past seven or eight years she has -been one of the bestknown old theatrical women in New York, now and then appearing in famous productions, and -always being received with the greatest favor. During the world's fair Mrs. Bowers had a prominent role in "Lady Windemere's Fan" company, from Palmer's Theater In New York. Last season she supported Olga Nethersole In the New York debut of that English actress. She did not leave the city with the company, but' later in the season appeared a few times 1 in other performances. ' ACTOR CRANE'S TRIBUTE. Actor William II. Crane was informed of Mrs. Bowers' s death last night at the Grand. The hews was a severe shock to both Mr. Crane and .Mr. George DeVere, both, of Whom had '"known; Mrs. Bowers for more than a score of years. "I saw Mrs. Bowers a few weeks ago," said Mr. Crane, "and she looked to be well and strong and good for twenty years more of life. 1 never played with her, but, together with all members of the theatrical profession, I had the greatest respect and appreciation for her superior ability. I can look back now twenty-flve years and see her in "Lady Audley's Secret," and many times I've wiped the tears away when she was giving some strong scene. Mrs. Bowers grew old as few women ever can. Her disposition was sweet and her manners so gentle and aristocratic that she was especially fitted for playing elderly female roles. She was one of the kindest, dearest women I. ever met in the profession." , Other Deaths. CLEVELAND, Nov. 6.Word : was received here to-day of the death of Col. William H.

IXGERSOLL BELIEVES IN HELL. At Leaat He- Snld He Wonltl "When Kentucky "Went Repabllenn. "Say, do you know Bob Ingersoll Is In a pretty tight place?" remarked. John. B. .Cockrum last night. "At last he has to admit there Is a hell fire." Several people expressed some surprise. "Yes, s!r-ee," continued Mr. Cockrum. "Don't you remember he said In a lecture a few years ago that he would believe In hell when the Republicans carried Kentucky. We have got to take him at hla word." - The Journal's Jeffersonville correspondent recalls the same 'words attributed to the widely known Infidel. A city official of Jeffersonville states that he was present at a lecture delivered at Charlestown, Ind., fifteen years ago, when Ingersoll made the statement that he would "believe there is a hell when Kentucky goes Republican." For years the expression has been, a favorite one in southern Indiana during Kentucky campaigns. InRersoll Tnkes "Water. PITTSBURG.' Pa,, Nov. 6. Col. Robert G.

The people were wondering if Bradley's victory had converted the Colonel. Ingersoll wrote , this answer: , "The above is Idiotic.
