At the Pembroke Arcade, at 9 o'clock this morning', will begin the advance sale of season tickets only for the performances to be given at English's the ISth, 17th and 18th by the famous Walter Damrosch Opera Company, which is the largest and most talented organization, that has ever offered togive Wagner opera in this city, comprising, as it does, 190 people, the principal artists of whom were brought over from Germany. The works to be given are "Tannhauser." Thursday evening; "Die Walkure," Fridayevening, and "Die Me!steninger" Saturday evening. The season tickets for the three performances, which ae to be sold at a reduced price, will entitle the purchasers to freeseats at the Damrosch lecture lecltals at the Propylaeum under the direction of the Ladles' Matinee MUslcale. There promises to ut a heavy demand for seats, for there is great lniere?t in Wagnerian music here, and the reputation of the Damrosch company has preceded It here. The business being done in other cities by this company is enormous. Notes of the Stage. Not so very long ago the writer called attention to the fact that theatrical managers never bothered themselves about cultivating the good will of theater-goers in the provinces. It was cited that no special Inducements In the hape of souvenirs, which all women highly appreciate and which are used to commemorate certain performances In the larger cities, are ever given In the smaller places. It now seems that the managers of Trilby" have taken the hint to heart Trilby heart. They are going to 6et an example which cannot help becoming worthily popular. To-day's matinee is advertised aa a souvenir matinee. Beautiful ana" really valuable, so It Is claimed, little favors will be presented to every woman who can rind, buy or appropriate a reserved seat coupon for the performance. Miss Mabel Amber, who has attained no little reputation In leading woman roles with Nat Goodwin and others and who makes a fairly good American Trilby, will bo at the door this afternoon to welcome the matinee women and pin a sterling silver Trilbir heart on the lapel of each woman's boxcoat. Those who haven't boxcoats can have a souvenir Just the same. Miss Amber Is not required to make her entrance in the first act for several minutes after the curtain is up and she will be at the door along side of the blushing Mr. Eddy until tha performance has begun. No one should be late at "Trilby." for the Bohemian spirit of the play, very shallow at best, will be lost unless one observes the action from the very start Shubert's famous 'Adieu is played by Svengair and Gecko early in the act and is one of the prettiest bits of coloring In the entire arama. "Trilby" will close Its engagement here with to-night's performance. "?laves of Gold" will close at the Park with two pe rformances to-day. Next week comes Hopkins's Transoccanics. Morris's Entertainers wind up a week's stand at the Kmpire to-day. Harry Williams's vaudevilles next week. There is said to be some grumbling In certain quarters because Paderewski's managers are charging $3 for first-class seats in this city, while in other places the price Is as low as $2. Grumbling and free speech are inalienable rights in America, One can't very well avoid grumbling when one has to pay $3 for a .theater ticket, especially if one has been accustomed to getting In "deal heal" for years. Some people never discover the public is being "worked" by theatrical managers until some people have had their passes canceled. These are the sort who for years have deceived the public regarding the merits of traveling shows, slobbering over indifferent attractions and lauding to the sLles mediocre actors. Let one of theso lose his entree' at the play house and he begins to fulminate about the sharp practices of managers, which he intimates has been going on under the nose of the public for seasons. The critical opinion of any one who will thus admit he has said himself for a pass to the theaters is not worth the paper on which It Is scribbled. It Is no more than the snap of a cur svt thV foot which haa accelerated Its exit from the door. Theatrical people, who, of course, never like to have anything but the best said about their business, are known to respect critics who offer adverse criticism honestly, but neither theatrical people nor any other give a continental dash for those who can be bought with a free ticket. Without knowing who is responsible for the Paderewfkl seats la this city, it is difficult to accurately place the blame. This is certain, if Paderewski's manager had said f4, then 54 would have been the price. Paierewski is not yearning to play in the smaller cities when he can make from 53.000 tn $3,000 a night In the larger ones. Paderewskl doesn't care a rap for Indianapolis, nor for the musical people of this city. When we are anxious to hear such a celebrated virtuoso, tho question Is, can we ot him? If InJianapolis were a rival or Cincinnati or Chicago, it could dictate terms to b!g amusempnt attractions. Until then the people will have to pay the different lai. Theatrical maragers are no better than -thcr business men and will take advantage of evry situation. Managers are aft::rt and dollars." The advance pale points to a large audience next Saturday r.:'sht to bear the celebrated pianist. Ulflhop White' Nevr Idea. Bishop White began last night a series of sermons intended to interest those people who are not connected with any church. The sermon last night was preached In St. Georpe's Mission, on West Morris street. The sermons each Friday night will continue for several months. Properly speaking, what the Pishop says can hardly be called sermons in the common application of the word, for he simply delivers talks, instructive and entertaining, and the hearers can get from what he says their own sermons. Ilxtra Guard for Nonunion Men. It is still necessary to keep a policeman at Chandler & Taylor's establishment, on Wt-Jt Washington street, because fourteen men who wer discharged last May are still ll.-satisfled. The affair has ceased to be a strike. The men were molders, and scvr;il of the nonunion men who took their pieces have been assaulted. Yesterday an x?ra policeman was placed at the shops hause it was feared that a .fresh attack wad contemplated. Swooned tn Court. Mamie Roberts, the young woman arrested Thursday night for obtaining money under false pretenses, spooned in Police Court yesterday morning and had to be carried from th room. Her case was con tinued until next Tuesday. Her friends say the will bo able to show herself innocent cf the charge. State Wlilftt Lencue. Charles B. Coffin, director of the American Whist League for Indiana, has called r meeting of whist players to be held in this rity Jan. 23 and 21. The purpose of the meeting is to organize a State association.

LIKE A THIEF IT CAME

COLD WAVE SXEAICS IX AT SIGHT AXD 3IAKES ITSELF FELT. OfDoial Zero Mark Tfot Reached, bat Less Truthful Thermometers Drop Uelovr Xo Change In Sight. The cold wavelet which came from the north during the early "hours of yesterday morning grew In size during the day, until last night every man, woman and child In the city realized that the predictions of the Weather Bureau had come true. Mr. Wappenhans, local forecaster, said it was going to get cold long before the .wind veered to the northward, and while the snow yet melted and ran In streams In the gutters. While it was still 'warm and balmy, and a south wind, as seductive as any that ever blew In March, came from the southland, the cold wave flag stood out to the breezes announcing the coming of the north wind. People laughed when they observed the flag and minds reverted to the predictions for flurries of snow. Some were so heedless as to change their winter underwear for lighter weight, and these people who have no respect for Indications are now bordering on the verge of pneumonia. The cold wave came quietly, like a thief in the night, and there were no flurries of snow, or cyclones or blizzards. The cold simply grew and grew in Intensity until last night the mercury In the thermometer hovered a few degrees above the zero mark. Th birthplace of the present cold wave Is not recorded. It seemed to be somewhere in the northwest, for the wind which brought it here came from that direction. The thermometer up In that annex of the polar regions ranges all the way from 10 to 2i degrees below zero. Assignments of the cold came this way with each succeed ing breeze of last night. At 7 o'clock last evening the thermometer at the Weather Bureau registered but 6 degrees above zero, with bright prospects of the zero point being reached by morning. At 11 o'clock last night thermometers with honorable reputations registered 3 and 4 degrees above, while those thermometers whose reputation for truth and veracity are not so good registered a9 many degrees below the zero mark with no effort. The weather office predicts fair, cold weather to-day It is thought that there will be little change in the temperature, with odds on a lower mark being reached. This is consequently the coldest "spell" of the season, but not as cold by many degrees as it was on several occasions of last winter. The gas supply yesterday was fair. Some people longed for more, while others had plenty, and but few were found who would acknowledge that there was a sufficiency. The suburbs offered the most complaints, but people who happen to be on poorly nourished lines had received warning of what might be expected, and. many were prepared for the worst. Many men, and more women, will probably have fond recollections recalled this morning by having to cut kindling wood and bring- in coal and wood from the shed, bringing back the days which were, long before natural gas came to the city. Tho gas pressure Is weakest and lowest early In the morning, but during the day it livens, and by evening a, marked improvement is observed. Coldest Day of the Winter. CHICAGO, Jan. 3. To-day was the coldest of the winter, to-morrow will be worse and Sunday the" worst of three, if the local weather man is anything of a prophet. Early this morning the mercury was around zero and during the day it crawled up to 10 above and hung there for a few hours. After sunset, however, the mercury concluded the bottom of the tube was the proper thing and it slid accordingly. At 6 o'clock it was zero, at 8 o'clock, 4 below, and at 11 o'clock 9 below, and all the conditions bearish. The signal service office predicts 15 degrees below for the early morning and present indications are that he will win easily and have degrees to spare. The cold snap has 'developed the usual number of cases of destitution and suffering, and the police stations and relief sqcieties are to-night overrun with applications for aid. Cold In the Northwest. ST. PAUL, Jan. 3. Although Helena, Mont., reported the official temperature at 7 o'clock to-night as being four degrees above zero, that was the only Weather Bureau point in the Northwest where the mercury went above zero. The next warmest points were St. Paul and Huron, S. D., both reporting ten degrees below. In this city, at 7 this morning, it was eighteen degrees . below. Prince Albert, N. W. T., was the coldest to-night, registering thirty-Fix below. Tho Weather Bureau reports sixteen decrees below at Duluth and Calgary; twenty-four degrees below at St. Vincent, Minn., Mlnnedosa and Edmonton; twenty-six degrees below at Winnipeg and thirty-two degrees (below at Battleford. A keen wind has been generally reported. Settlers Probably Suffering;. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Jan. 3.-A drop of thirty to thirty-five degrees has been registered by thermometers throughout the Southwest within the past twelve hours. From about forty degrees above it generally dropped to near the zero mark. A high northwest wind is blowing. A Hennessy (O. T.) dispatch expresses fear for the welfare of settlers In the remote parts of the Cheyenne and Arapahoe country, and in the Cherokee Strip, many of whom are in straitened circumstances. Fall of 37 Degrees. DAVENPORT, la., Jan. 3.The Signal Service reports a fall in temperature of thirty-seven degrees. The thermometer registered seven degrees below zero this morning and twelve degrees to-night. The Mississippi river could be crossed on the Ice today. IUIsznrd In Missouri. - ST. LOUIS, Jan. 3.

The Council committee on contracts and franhcises met last evening and decided on a favorable report for the ordinance authorizing the Big Four Railroad Company to construct and maintain a switch across Leota street. The committee on sewers, streets and alleys also met, the chief business being a consideration of the ordinance to compel property owners to clean snow from sidewalks within twelve hours after it has fallen, and the vetoed ordinance controlling the sidewalks along buildings under construction. Only a portion of the latter committee were present and they did not agree on the points of the two ordinances. There was a difference of opinion concerning the length of time a property owner should be granted in which to clean walks and a. difference of opinion relative to which two-thirds of a sidewalk a contractor should be' allowed to use. Mr. Woody, member of the committee, was very much missed and the committee adjourned without deciding upon a report until the wishes and opinions of Mr. Woody can be consulted. Within the Mile Square. Mayor Taggart,' the Board of Public Works and City Engineer Jeup held a long conference yesterday afternoon concerning the improvements to be made during the coming season. Mr. Jeup had maps showing the improvements which have been made and where improvements are needed. It will be the "policy" of the administration to finish up that portion of the city within the mile square as soon as possible. Only a few sewers, are needed in this section-, The; tide stfets. and-alleys are-to be improved. It appears that' t"he policy" of the administration l3"la the nature of a blind, for extensive improvements in that portion without the mile square are being considered. The-councilmen from the different wards will meet with the board very soon, probably on Monday, when the question of improvements will be considered. Tho board desires to know particularly from the councilmen concerning needed electric lights and water mains in the several wards of the city. Bidders Come Dovrn. After advertising three times for bids for the superstructure of a bridge over Pleasant run at Meridian street the Board of Works yesterday received satisfactory propositions. The first time bids were submitted, tho figures, were all bo close as to create a suspicion in -the mind of Mr. Jeup, the engineer. The second time, a low bid was discovered after the others had been received and objection was made to the consideration of the bid which had been misplaced. Yesterday the following bids were submitted, the contract being awarded to the Attica Bridge Company; Variety Iron Works Company, $5,475; Columbus Bridge Company, J4.PS8; Massillon Bridge Company, $4,950; Toledo Bridge Company, $4,950; Wrought Iron Bridge Company, $4,915; J D. Adams & Co., $4,875; J. H. Nelsbn, $1,818; Chicago Bridge and Iron Company, $1,800; Lafayette Bridge Company, $4,600; Rochester Bridge and Iron Works, $4,530; Brown & Ketcham. $4,4iO; Attica Bridge and Iron Company, $3,990. Ilonrd of Works Routine. The Board of Public Works yesterday took final action on the resolutions for paving with brick the east sidewalk of Stillwell street, from Madison avenue to the first alley south; for opening Raymond street from Shelby to Meridian to a width of fifty feet, and for paving with brick the east sidewalk cf Meikie street, from McCarty to Kay street. Resolutions were adopted for a local sewer in the first alley north of Gresham street; for brick sidewalks on Capitol avenue, from Twelfth to Fourteenth street, and for grading and graveling the first alley north of Weghorst street, from Wright street to tho flrst alley west. Right to Sell Dispensary. The Board of Works has asked the city attorney for an opinion concerning the city's power to sell the City Dispensary property, which la regarded as a part of the Tomiinson estate. The Beard of Health desires to have the present site sold and more adequate provisions made for a dispensary in some other locality. mw mm m m m m m tm m MM Funeral of Mr. Applesatc.

After a successful attempt to dislodge a mountain tribe the regiment turned southward for the march home. The news had reached the soldiers of the war, and they took no precautions as they marched through the Transvaal. The Boers hid In the grass and shot nearly every man in th regiment before the latter had time to load their rifles. "The British forces marched to the frontier under the command of Sir George Colley. He had only two thousand men to light the Boers. This number did not Include the native cavalry under my command. Then began a guerrilla war, which resulted disastrously for the British troops. On the Drackensburg mountains ' the soldiers were badly beaten three times. Then came the terrible struggle at Majuba hill, during which nearly all the British feil riddled by the bullets of the Boers. A reenforcement of 6,000 men had just arrived at the coast, but tho news of the defeat at Majuba hill frightened Mr. Gladstone and he decided to recall the soldiers an1 end the war by giving back the Transvaal to the Boers. To this vacillating policy is due the present trouble and the oppression of the foreigner. The Boers think no one can beat them and they do not care about foreigners who wish to settle in the country. It more troops had been sent, the Transvaal would now be under good government. The Poers acknowledged the suzerainty of the British empire, which did not allow them to make a treaty with another power without the consent of the English government. "Since that time the foreigners in the Transvaal have led a troublesome life. The Boers are a cruel race and they are always having trouble. They abuse and illtreat the natives and a deadly enmity exists between them and the Kaffirs. The foreigners are now a majority, but the Boers tax them to death, put religious bars to their ever becoming citizens and will not allow them any representation in the legislature. There Is a large percentage of Americans in the Transvaal and they are all In sympathy with the present uprising. The struggle is exactly similar to that in Hawaii, when the foreigners rose against an intolerable native rule. In the Transvaal the miners fill the treasury but they are refused the right to vote, and the system of police, mining Inspection, and of education is a scandal. From eight thousand to ten thousand English-speaking children In tho country are refused the means of education in a language they can understand. The struggle is not one between the Englishmen and the Boers. It Is a fight for all that i3 progressive and Intelligent in the country against a lot of ignorant farmers who will not move themselves or permit anyone else to do so. The result of the struggle will be that some civilized country will take possession of the Transvaal unless the Boers have a change of heart toward the foreigners who are making the territory worth living in."

SUNDAY-SCHOOL WORK

EI.UCIDATIOX AXD nBVTEW OF INTERNATIONAL LKSSOX, JAX. 5. The Forerunner of ClirSat, na Told In Luke 1, 517 An Event Shouinc Fulfillment of Prophecy. By REV. JAME3 E. GILBERT, D. D., Secretary of the American Society of Religious Education. (These lessons constitute the Sundayschool extension department of the above named society. All who study them are requested to send their names, postofllce address and denomination, mentioning this paper, to the author at Washington, D. C, for enrollment.) INTRODUCTION. In ancient times when a king purposed to pass through a country a courier was sent before him to announce his coming. On hearing the proclamation the people were expected to make preparation. The road along which he would pass must be freed from obstructions, the rough places made smooth, the elevations cut down, the depressions filled. (Luke iii, 5.) To some extent the entire population must be ready to honor their distinguished visitor, and to promote the purpose for which he came. In like manner the prophets foretold that Jesus would come as a king (Dan. 11, 44), and that a herald would precede him. (Mai. iv, 6.) That John the Baptist was the forerunner 13 evident from several considerations. He himself so declared (John 1. 23), and Jesus confirmed his words. (Matt, xl, 10.) Besides, his character and work accorded with the character and work of the predicted courier. Our lesson for the day gives Incidents before his birth to the same Import, announcing his career as the one sent (John 1, C), to proclaim the Lord. PARENTS. J ohn came of good stock. The blood of a holy ancestry, traced back fifteen centuries, flowed in his veins. Zacharias, his father, belonged to the seventh course of the priesthood, as arranged by David (I Chron. xxiv, 10), and readjusted after the captivity- for the temple service at Jerusalem. His wife, also descended from Aaron, was in full sympathy with the spirit cf this high office. They were both blameless, keeping the commandments and ordinances, the moral and ceremonial requirements of their religion (Job i, 1), patterns of all excellence. But this holy couple was greatly afflicted In one respect they were childless. (I Sam. 1, 2.) The years of wedded life had come and gone, and God had not granted the desires of their hearts. They were now advanced In years, having passed the time of hope, and they only waited to be summoned away, expecting to leave no one behind to bear their name, to inherit their blessing and to continue the work. (Psalm xc, 17.) INCENSE. A Jewish priest was consecrated to render three kinds of service to burn Incense, to minister unto God and to bless the people. (I Chron. xxlll, 13.) The first of these cervices symbolized the offering of praise, thanksgiving and supplication. (Rev. vill. 3.) It was performed twice each day, in the morning and in the evening (Ex. xxx. 7. S). at an altar, made of shittim wood and overlaid with gold, called the altar of Incense. (Ex. xxx, 1.) That altar stood before the vail of the holv plaee. The mode of burning incense was described in the statutes of Moses (Lev. xvi, 12, 13), and any departure from that mode was severely punished. (Lev. tc, 1.) The efficacy of this service is illustrated in the plague that followed the destruction of Korah. (Numb, xvl, 4C-48.) Our lesson presents Zacharias. as ho came, clad in priestly garments (Ex. xxviii, 40-43). to execute thi function of his office. We cannot fix th ie precisely, but it was in the days of Ki ;rod (Verse 5). and most scholars have t 1 in niacin? It In the year 6 B. C. PRAYER. While Zacharias was burning Incense at the altar the people were engaged in prayer outside the temple. It was the design of God to combine the ceremonial and the spiritual, the official and the popular, the former leading the latter. Forms were vain and worthless unless used in the right spirit. (Isa. i. 12. 13.) When the smoke of the incense covered the mercyseat (Lev. xvi, 13), and arose thence and appeared above the holy place the assembly knew that the ministers were officiating in the appointed way, their faith was thereby enkindled, and they lifted up their hearts with the ascending cloud, iilev. viii, 4.) So David worshipped. (Psalm cxli, 2.) This scene of our lesson is beautiful and Impressive. It shows not only what Judaism might be in Its true state, but what it actually was at times, the channel of divine grace to good hearts. Morning and evening, day after day, the people gathered and God heard their crie. accepted their devotions, and bestowed His blessing. VISITOR.-Whlle this season of prayer was in progress a remarkable supernatural manifestation was made. An angel of th? Lord, Gabriel (Verse 19), suddenly appeared standing on the right Fide of the altar of Incense. Zacharias alone was present and saw him. Under the old covenant numerous appearances of this character (Gen. xix. 1) were made, whenever any great event was about to transpire. (Josh. v, 19.) The angels came always with messages. (Judges 11, 1.) The earlier years of the Christian era were marked in the same manner. This occasion was most appro priate. The temple, the hour of praver, the burning incense, the officiating rriest, the assembled and waiting multitude all this furnished a favorable opportunity for heavenly communications. When tho institutions of religion were in their best state it was well to make known the new day soon to dawn. It is not surprising, however, that Zacharias was greatly excited as he saw the strange visitor in shining apparel, fearing that some Judgment from God impended. TIDINGS. Gabriel did not long leave Zacharias In suspense and fear, but hastened to deliver the intelligence which brought him from the heavenly to the earthly temple. "Thy prayer Is heard, thv wife shall bear a son." ho exc!aimed. It arrears thaU like Hannah, the priest had a?ked God for an heir. (I Fam. I. 2.) That prayer may have been prompted by the earnest longing felt by every pious soul in thoso days, felt always, Indeed, by every normal man. Or, the Holy Spirit may have awakened in his mind some conception that his family would have Important relation with the coming Christ. The angel went on to give the name if the son, John, derived from Jehovah and Chen, the favor of the Lord. (See Doddridge In loco.) Then he declared lhat the child would bring gladness to Zacharias and to many. Implying that he would be a person of unusual worth and influence. Such words, failing from the lips of a celestial being, would be received with wonder. After all the patient waiting, until hope had died out of his heart (verse IS), Zacharias was not prepared for such intelligence. It often occurs that Ion delayed answers find men unprepared for God's gifts. CHARACTER. The angel fought to strenprthen the priest's faith. Not every ion brings gladness to parents. Sometimes the declining years arr filled with trouble because of wayward children. (II Sam. xviil. 33.) But Zacharias was Informed in advance that the prospective son would "be great in the sight of the Lord." richly endowed by nature, approved by the great searcher of hearts. Moreover, his personal babits on reaching manhood would accord with the nobility of his nature. For, he fhould "drink neither wine nor strong drink." The spiritual would dominate and the carnal appetites would be In subjection. (I Cor. Ix. 2. In short, he would become a Nazarite. Thus he would be lifted out of the great mass of humanity who live on the animal plane (Rom. vlli, 7). mtde a leader and an example to these who struggle for better things. (Gal. vi, 1.) But the. exalted character of John would not be due to nature alone he would be "filled with the Holy Ghost" from his infancy. Splendid prospect this. No lapse Into waywardness, followed by reform. From childhood built symmetrically and filled with God. (II Tim. ill. 13.) MISSION. A great man ought to have an exalted place, an opportunity to use his talents. The worth of this premised son," an 1 the consequent rejoicing of Zacharias. will be determined largely by his position and work. The angel makes this known. He "shall become a reformer, a winner of sou!. Marry years, perhaps centuries had passed since such a man had appeared in Israel Maiachi or Zechariah may have been the last. Through all that time there had been a formal service, but philosophical discussions had crpet ia and ein had abounded. Pious men had prayed and hoped for better things. "He will go before Him." the angel continued, becoming the forerunner of Messiah, the long-promised seed of Abraham (Gal. ill. 16), "to make ready a people for Him.M that is. to make a people ready to receive Him. (Mat. xl. 12. 14.)
