Sol Smith Russell's art has a simple and abiding charm that has won for him a place of honor In the hearts of all classes of stage lovers. The Russell hero Is not hard, to describe, lie Is an idealized character from the common walks of life. His main virtues arc a noble sense of honor and fearlessness yin doing right. . He Is charitable as the Good Samaritan, blind to the faults and designs of others, and forgiving to the verge of aggravation. Such a man In real life should be provided with a constant guardian. He Is green as a county bumpkin and sure to be swindled out of hl3 year's earnings every time he comes to the city. He has all the peaceful character of a Quaker "with none of the Quaker's shrewdness. One cannot lm agine a Sol Smith Russell hero fighting a duel on account of a woman or going to law for damage3 against the man who has cheated him in a horse trade. He Is a nega tive sort of citizen, with no bad habits, no temper, no physical beauty, no passion, no style and nothing to win the approbation of his fellow-men. considered according to the standard of modern society, excepting his Innocence and goodness of heart. He ought to be the ideal of strong-minded, wealthy and spirited maidens, for he Is an ex act opposite. Such a hero is one of the easiest drawn in fiction, for he excites profound pity, and once pittled, it is eisy enougn ior the novelist or the playright to manufacture some lnrkv lnirln that Will PVfnf ll.lllv renrarvt t Vir hern In nrnportlon to his great heart, but out jof all pro portion to tne intellect of the people of his environment. On the stage ho is a great character to triumph by luck, and the curtain falls on a melodramatic scene of baffled villainy. In real life he is more likely to end his days In the poorhouse. The double bill given at the Grand last night by Mr. Russell's fairly excellent company presented two spn.irarn ntiMi nf Tinasell. One was the old familiar, homely hero in a new piay cauea "An Kveryday Man," bv Mariruerlt Merinff-tnn It wna .icitrv.tr..i In Its gentle comedy, strong enough for a "rason, dui lacKing tne virile qualities of some of Mr. Russell's older and betterknown plays. . In the first act he Is the everyday man, methodical, painfully so, attentive to business, regular, as clockwork, adoring his wife (one wonpera how such a man ever won her), who showers upon her plain, matter-of fact husband all the love of her girlish heart. But the wife's family are not reconciled to the match. They never lose an opKortunity of commiserating with her on avlng a husband who is too good. Her father arrives and adds his sympathy to that of the rest. The 3oung wife realizes her John never had a past and she begs her husband to go away, to see the world, to do something wild, just to show that he is not a milksop. In the eond act, which is laid In luxurious New York apartments, the everyday man Is shown in a new light. He has as his accomplice a young millionaire, and the pair successfully mislead the wife's family Into thinking the once exemplary young man Is sowing his wild oats at a tremendous rate. A halt is called by the relatives, who feel that the game Is going too far. Hut It is of no avail. The father-in-law pleads, the wife pleads, all In vain. In the third act the prodigal returns. It transpires that he has been merely shamming, but the lesson proves a good one, and the relatives are content. After rescuing his wife's brother from exposure and disgrace, after settling matters straight at the bank where he is cashier and his father-in-law Jresldent. the young husband is left to enoy the society of his wife, unmolested by her relatives. The play Is beautifully staged, the comedy play Is domestic and funny, and the whole was received with frequent demonstrations of pleasure hv an audience that nearly filled the Grand. The curtain raiser waa an unexpected treat from an artistic standpoint, and shows Mr. Russell la a one-act play that Is I little more than a monologue. There is only one other character, a negro servant, in which that excellent actor, Georga Woodward, docs not do himself justice. Mr. Russell appears as old Mr. Valentine, an almost palsied gentleman bachelor, who walks erect with difficulty. It is CTiristraas eve, and for his own secret pleasure he gives a mimic dinner to a half dozen old sweethearts of his youth. The table Is set and flowers are at the plates of each imaginary guest. While reading over the cards that are to be placed at the different plates the white-haired old bachelor falls Into a reverie and repeats the story of his love affair with e?ch. in exquisite pantomime he receives nis make-b-lJeve guests He pours the wine and drinks to them all. The childish pleasure of the old lover, gallant and polite as a gentleman at a queen's reception, la touchlngiy portrayed. Suddenly he wanders in his speech and falU dead with heart disease. In this short curtain raiser Sol Smith Russell does the best bit of acting one can recall ever having seen him do. Were it not quite so brief and lacking In characters "Mr. Valentine's Christmas" would be a piece to live and lake rank, with Felix Morris's "Old Musiclan." .Last night' bill will be repeated to-mor-m zizhu Th Rivals." with Russell as

The attraction was "The Struggle of Life," a finely staged melodrama, well acted by Walter Sanford's company. The scenic effects throughout the performance are conspicuously good . and were much applauded yesterday. This melodrama la local to New York, and its stage settings show many well-known localities in the great metropolis. The principal scenes are the interior of the Catholic Cathedral on Fifth avenue. City Hall square, with Printing House row In the perspective, Battery Park on a winter night, showing the distant harbor and statue of Liberty, a snualld street In the slums, a true representation of a low "dance hall" or "dive," where the slum inhabitants hold nightly revel, and a very comprehensive view of the docks along East river front, crowded with shipping, while underneath are seen the great sewers. Mr. Sanford's productions are always marked by realistic stage settings, but in "The Struggle of Life" he has sumaescd all his other efforts, and the ten full sets require the stage limit for their proper showing. In the cast are William Stafford,' Henry Lewis, Frame Itlddell. D. 8. Murdock. George Secor. E. T. Stevenson, Arthur Morton, Hannah Ingham. Florence Stone. Nellie Maskell and others. The standing room was an used up by S o'clock last night and many people were turned away. "The Struggle of Llf?" will be seen again to-day and to-morrow. On Thursday the Gormans come in "The Gilhool3 Abroad." Empire Ilenti-Snntley. Two packed houses greeted the ReirtzSantley burlesque and variety troupe at the Empire yesterday. The performance begins and ends with burlesques on "Trilby" and "Robin Hood." which were rendered with considerable snap and brightened with new and pretty costuming. In the olio, Carrie Scott took the lead. On the authority of Miss Scott it is alleged that tho lady who not so awfully long ago paraded the pavement with her gilded capillary adornment pendulous in the neighborhood of her superior dorsal region is now doing living pictures. She "till wears her hair down her back. Miss Scott also recounted the mournful history of the poor little maid who had never seen the "Streets of Cairo" nor the Turkish atrocity connected therewith, and gave a clever impressionist Illustration of what that young person missed. A set of living pictures are shown, none of which are bad. Two of them. "The Fairy Dell" and "Tho Harem." compare quite favorably with any thing of, that sort shown here. Other features of tho olio aro found in the work of Van Leer and Barton, burnt cork knockabouts; Collins and Collins, songs; Leslie and Tenley. Irish team, and Fisher and Crowell, who give an amusing eccentric comedy sketch. Two performances will be given every dav through the remainder of the week. Judgment of Agnlnst Illnrlcli. NEW YORK, Jan. 27. Charle3 O. Bassett, an opera singer, was to-day awarded J4.4C2 damages and interest in the suit brought by him against Gustav HInrlchs for balance of salary due.

The Byrnes, who will present "8 Bells" at English's the last half of the week, ara said to have a performance with "eigth laughs to every minute." Men with heart disease should stay away. Sol Smith Russell was called before the curtain several times last nignt, and after the second act of "An Everyday Man" he took occasion to make a speech, during which he" invited competition in playwritlng by Indianapolis women. He offered to read all that would be sent him. With sweet flattery he told the women he thousht there ought to be a Marguerito Merington "in their jnldst." and if so. he wanted to be the first to produce the coming play by an Indianapolis woman. Great head has Mr. Russen. MR. SOL ILVYS TO LEAVE. He Will Take Charge of n Illpr Chicago Clothlnj? House.

Mr. Hays has become very popular among business men In this city, and the announcement that he intended to leave was received with regret. A FIRE IN WOODRUFF. The Home Occupied by Ilusscl M. Seeds Destroyed. About It o'clock last night tho pretty home of Russel M. Seeds, 181 East drive of .Woodruff Place, was burned to tiie ground. The fire was caused by an increase of natural-gas pressure in the kitchen. Mr. Seeds is secretary of the Republican State central committee, and was at the Denlson House among the visitors gathered here for to-day's meeting when he was notified of the. fire. The loss will probably be In the neighborhood of $3,5u0. The house was a story and a half brick, owned by Judge A. L. Roache. Mr. Seeds will lose nearly all of the furnishings of the house. Only tho front wall of the house was standing after the lire. A CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR WEEKLY Will ne Published Simultaneously in Plttsburs and This City.

MR. GOWDY WILL WIN

FOUR UNPLEDGED COSIMITTEEME: decide: to S'otb for urn. A Caucus at Denlson Last IVIcht Gondf Will Have Nine Vote To-Dnr'i Meeting. It looks very much this morning as if the members of the Republican State central committee, which convenes at 2 o'clock this afternoon, would select John IC Gowdy as chairman of the committee. This was the conclusion arrived at at 1 o'clock this morning by thece who watched the deliberations of the four unpledged committeemen, who held a late conference in the Denlson Hotel. This caucus" was composed of Sam E. Kercheval, Johtt T. Lamb, George McCulloch and S. A. Wood. It was nearly 1:30 o'clock before the conference was over, and then It was publicly announced that the four unpiedstd men had agreed to support Mr. Gowdy. Nearly every prominent Republican in the State was in town last night. They came here on a common errand and the State chairmanship was the sole topic. From 7 o'clock until midnight the corridors of the Denlson Hotel were crowded. In the throng the faces of many of the best known men in State politics could be seen. All evening the interest in the one absorbing toplo was Intense, and did not abate until after the result of the conference was announced. From the start, last night, both the Gowdy and Nebeker forces were apparently confident. Tho evening trains brought Nebeker men from Covington, Terre Haute, Crawfordsville and other towns iri the Fifth district. A large repre-. mentation of Gowdy men came over from Muncle with George F. McCuiloch, committeeman from the Eighth district. While many believed that Mr. McCuiloch had not. decided as to how he should cast his vote, the Muncle delegation were positive that he was a stanch Gowdy man. The Fifth district delegation, represented by Nicholas Filbeck, publicly asserted that theyAvere sure of enough votes to elect Mr. Nebeker. Mr. Gowdy's admirers early la the evening openly contended that Messrs. Kercheval, Lamb, Holman and Woods had pledged themselves for Mr. Gowdy, and it was declared that Mr. Gowdy was sure of nine votes. The Nebeker people laughed at the declaration, and until 1 o'clock were confident of securing at least seven votes. Thomas McCoy came down from the Tenth district with instructions to cast his vote for Mr. Nebeker. It was rumored early in the evening that he personally favored Mr. Gowdy, but later it was said that Mr. McCoy had become an out-and-out Nebeker man. Several times during the early part of the night word came down stairs that a conference was going on between four men which would practically decide the absorbing question, but this meeting did not take place until after midnight. About 12:30 o'clock Samuel Kercheval. of the First district, left a group of friends in the corridor and went up to the second floor. He was shortly afterward joined by the other members of the conference. For an hour and a half the four men discussed the various phases of the question behind closed doors. William Fesler and Nicholas Filbeck were with the four gentlemen and presented to the men who were without pledges the advisability of electing Mr. Nebeker as State chairman. The four men listened patiently to all Mr. Fesler and Mr. FJlbeck had to pay and then discussed among themselves the status or the contest betwetn the Nebeker and Gowdy forces. That the four gentlemen were not positively settled In their choice when they went Into the conference Is shown by the fact that the caucus lasted as long as It did. It was finally concluded, however, that the bt-st thing, under the circumstances, to be done was for the four men to vote for Mr. Gowdy. This determination settled Mr. Gowdy's election, as Mr. Gowdy will thus have nlnn votes and Mr. Nebeker four. The vote this afternoon will probably be as follows: For Gowdy Samuel J. Kercheval, of the First district; John T. Lamb, of the Second district; George W. Self, of the Third district; James E. Caskey, of the Fourth I. P. Mitchell, of the Sixth; George McCuiloch, of the Eighth; George Osborne, of the Eleventh; Sol. M. Wood, of the Twelfth, and George W. Holmtn, of the Thirteen! h. For Nebeker Nicholas Filbeck. of the Fifth; J. W. Fesler, of the Seventh; Ambrose Moore, of the Ninth; T. G. McCoy, of the Tenth. While there has been a great deal of FplrIt and-rivalry shown in this contest. It was agreed among the Republicans who gathered at the Denison yesterday that the outcome, whichever side won, would have no bad effect on the party prospect3 for victory this year. As ex-Senator Loveland remarked: "The men supporting Mr. Gowdy and Mr. Nebeker are too loyal Republicans to sulk. On the other hand, the contest has erected an unusual interest in Republican politics for so early a in a campaign year.'and it shows that the Republicans are fuJlv alive to the fact that a big victory Is In the air. Experienced politicians stated yesterday that such exciting contests without a display of bitterness have had a very wholesome effect In strensthenlng the party organization throughout theState. ine register at the Denison Hotel yesterday showed a long list of Republicans, svho were drawn here by the chairmanship contest. Rushville, Mr. Gowdy's home, sent a strong delegation. Nearly every city of size in the State was represented, and. while the chairmanship' struggle was the. principal icpic ot conversation, mere was considerable enthusiasm over the work Republicans are to do this year. Both Mr. Gowdy and Mr. Nebeker had rooms at the hotel, ard these headquarters were the centers for friends during yesterday after-nc-n end evening. The meeting of the State committee will bo hell at 2 o'clock this afternoon, In the Republican headquarters in the Journal building. There Is no business to come before the committee except the election of officers. Among the Republicans from out of town were the following: Senator A. W. Self, Corydon; T. M. Green and J. Q.

Twenty-Five Patrolmen Have Donned Citizens Clothes. Last Saturday morning the Sentinel said editorially: "Indianapolis has reason to congratulate itself on the excellent work clone by tho police force under the present administration. There has never been a time when the city was freer from toughs and criminals than the present. As soon as the new force went to work there occurred a number of captures of criminals within a few hours after their crimes had been committed. Following this there was an Interval of freedom from the crime that had formerly been rampant. There came a couple of weeks la which a number of burglaries occurred. At this time Superintendent Colbert was in Washington, but three days after his return the gang of burglars was run down and captured at North Indianapolis. Since then there have ibeen no burglaries in the olty, although there has been some petty pilfering "and a few thefts of overcoats." Within the last ten days no fewer than twenty-five robberies have come to light, including that at George K. Schofield's residence on East Ohio street, and a number of others on College avenue and other sections of town. Shortly after 7 o'clock yesterday morning & clerk in Ryan's hat store, corner of Illinois and Pearl 6trcets, found a negro engaged in filling a valise with underwear and other articles when he opened the store. The clerk made a dash at the burglar, who Immediately showed fight and backed from the store carrying the valise with him, protecting himself with a revolver. After reaching the street he dropped the valise, however, and took to his heels. Later In the day detec.. Thornton arrested Robert Love, who is charged with the crime. An interesting feature of the affair 13 that the burglar entered the hat store from a window on Pearl street, within plain sight of the busy thoroughfare of Illinois street. Across Pearl street from the. hat store are a livery stable and saloon, and it seems incredible that the man could have broken the window open and then climbed in without being discovered. Twenty-five patrolmen in citizens clothhave been stationed about the residency portion of the city the last week between the hours of 4 and 8 In the evening m the hopes of capturing some of tne numerous gangs who have been going through the houses while the families were at supper or away from home, but so far the thieves remain at large and the robberies etlll continue. DIED AS A RESULT OF DARING. Lowell Philips Drowned While Skating: nr Broad Cut. Lowell Phillips, a lad of fifteen, living with his parents on Ontario street, in North Indianapolis, was drowned while skating on tho canal below the aqueduct about 5 o'clock yesterday evening. Phillips and Michael Wells, with another boy named Montague, were skating together at the time. Below the aqueduct the current keeps a large body of. water free from ice in even the coldest weather. The boys were skating near the open water, trying to see who could come nearest to it without going under. Phillips kept circling about the open water, getting nearer and nearer the edge every' minute. On the last round he skated over weak ice at the south end of the opening and went under, leaving his hat floating on tho surface of the water. His frightened companions called for help, and a number of persons gathered about th spot, but the boy failed to come to the top. Word we.s sent to the boy's parents In North Indianapolis, and they directed Flanner & Bachanan, undertakers, to search for the body,. Nelson Jonc; and John Sehorn, employes of that firm oi? rnidTtffcers. vent to Broad Cut and tried to find the body. The boy's hat was still floating on the water, but they were unable to raise tho body at the point where ho went down. A bott was procured, and. after searching about nn hour, cutting the Ice before them, they fucceeded in raising the body at a point about twenty-five fcot below the place where the ice broke. The bodr had gone to the bottom and become entangled in the weeds In the bd of the channel. The body was conveyed to Flanner & Buchanan's morgue. Arrangements for the funeral will be made later. - . Deputy OH Inspector Gins Dend. Michael Ginz, Deputy State Oil Inspector, died early yesterday morning at his home, No. 4 North East street, after an illness of six months. Mr. Ginz suffered from a cancer in the neck and recently it became evldentjthat he could not' survive, lie leaves a widow and nine children. For twelve years Mr. Ginz has been ? employed as a deputy oil Inspector by the Slate. He came to this country when nineteen j-ears old, from Germany, where he was born in l&w. He has lived most of his life In Inilanapolis and in former years he was engaged in tho saloon business. He was secretary cf the Germanla Lodge of Odd Fellcws and that organization will conduct the funeral, which takes place "Wednesday afternoon. Rev. J. C. Peters will officiate at the services.

Clodfelter, one of the directors, says the road will take the place of the Anderson & Marion electric railway, which he started a year ago. He says the enterprise Is to bo backed by one of the most prominent steam railroad men in the East. Her Dress and Silk Wnlst Gone. Sallie Spears, a colored cook, employed at the "Byke" clubhouse on West Market street, complained to the police some weeks ago that Lulu Williams, another colored woman who worked with her and lodged at her boarding house. 215 West Ohio street, decamped, taking with her one tailor-made dress worth $20 and a silk waist valued at $S. The Spears woman had reasons to beliveve that Mrs. Williams had gone, to Springfield, O. The polloe at that city were notified of the circumstances and yesterday Superintendent Colbert received word that Mrs. Williams was under arrest. Sallie Spears furnished the necessary funds to bring her back to this city and an officer will be sent to Springfield after her. Lebanon Papers Wronged Her. Not long ago a married woman residing on Fletcher avenue was arrested for obtaining money on false pretenses. At the station house she gave her maiden name Mamie Roberts. Her case came up in the Police Court and she was discharged. A few days later one of the Lebanon papers, in commenting on the case, said that the Mamlo Roberts referred to was Miss Mayme Roberts, elocutionist, formerly of Whltestown. Miss Roberts told Police Matron Buchanan yesterday a grat Injustice had been done her by the Lebanon papers, as the report Injured her reputation to such an extent people failed to attend her entertainments. Mrs. Buchanan wrote the editor of the Lebanon paper requesting him to correct the impression made by the article. Bicycle Show at the Y. M. C. A.

CANADIANS TO DO AWAY WITH THE OLD SNYDER BREECHLOADER. Bluch Money to De Spent In Equipping the Militia and in Constructing Fortifications. OTTAWA, Ont., Jan. 27. The first signs of the Dominion government's Intention to carry out its promises towards the protection of the country in the event of trouble with any other nation, are seen in estimates for the coming year, which were presented to Parliament to-night by Hon, G. E. Foster, Minister of Finance. The total estimate for the ensuing year Is 11,230,CS1, about the same as last. In the expenses for the maintenance of the militia, however, there is an increase of $372,716 over last year. The total estimate in the expenditure of the Canadian militia and regulars will be $1,107,$S4, exclusive of over $10o,0o5 to be spent on an armory at Halifax, N. S. The expenditure In the northwest mounted police will be $233,000 against $500,000 last year. The militia are to be armed with new rifles, but the particular style of arms has not yet been agreed upon. No vote is asked as yet. The Dominion last year contributed $77,500 towards paying for the construction of the new fortifications at Esquimault, This year the sum to be voted by the Canadian Parliament for this purpose will be $29,000, the fortifications having been completed. As usual, Canada will pay $47,000 to the marine artillery detailed by the government to garrison Victoria, B. C.
