Grnnd The Merry Monarch." on's falpetto humor, acrobatics, horseplay or whatever one has a mind to call It made him an instantaneous favorite with Indianapolis people last year and caused him to be so well remembered that in spite of Henry Irvine's approaching visit and blizzard weather an audience much larger than the management had expected turned out to- the Grand last night when he opened his second annual engagement here In The Merry Monaco." Francis Wilson is one of the few operatic comedians who can draw a full house no matter what the name or nature of tho attraction. When the comic opera Jujr of Francis Wilson's effervescent spirits Is incorked an audience Is ,'puro to get a swiff Of 6omethlng that Is good for sordid livers. This laugh-provoking comedian is a traveling' panacea for indigestion. . The light of his jubilant nature penetrates the stony crust of the most disgruntled disposition like the cathode ray. As far as Indianapolis' is concerned, Francis Wilson is a new well of amusement. For ten years the larger cities have been getting- .the benefit of this original comedian's entertainment, and tho demand has been so great that they kept him all season. Not until last year was the man, whoso smfle Is warranted to make wrinkles In a polished armor plate, known In this city. As . a rule. IndIa;ia!oI;s nibbles gin-' icerly at anything: new, but Francis Wilton caused the town to fairly capitulate to him, and his house were packed at each performance. His manager does not expect to beat his last year's record this season, a.s an encasement cf the great English actor about empties the pockets of t!ieater-Koers for two weeks in a place tho size of Indianapolis, but with "The Merry Monarch" and "Tho Chieftain" as Francis Wll."oa'8 oiTerinKs the attraction is too trorur to miss by any one loving a bright and highly comic performance. His King1 Anso in the Goodwin-Morse burlesque u a. never-wearisome character. With the gutteral-voice! Miron as the Royal Astrologer. Lulu Glaser as Lazuli. Glena Wright as the Princess, and rolyiKlY Christie MacDonald as the maid-in-waitlng, there L not a scene which fails to keep the audience forlghtly entertained. In the last act two naked-ieggei plcanlnny understudies cf Francis Wilson Join the comedian ani his royal astrologvr in a grotesque dance. . Tho music of "The. Merry Monarch", is delightfully reminiscent, and the scenery and costumes are jrorgrous cls extravaganza. "The Merry Monarch" will be repeated to-nlgbt. "The Chieftain" being the bill for both performances to-morrow. Th Irving-Terry Encasement. Henry Irvlnjs and Ellen Terry majrnever be seen again in Indianapolis after their engagement next week at Englishes. It has been twelve years since last they were here, and the approaching opportunity may be one of a lifetime. It was in "Tho Bells" that Irving made himself famous throughout the whole world, and It Is, dramatically, his best production. In the part of Matthias he is not merely Intense, h3 la inspired. Such a picture as he draws of a haunted man is one to remember for years. Tho pale face, the bent form, the furtive eye, the trembling hand loom out of one's memory as they peer from tho stage In tho moonlight and firelight. ,Na actor of tho present age has greater power to express terror, and when the ghost of the murdered Jew rises .before him, when the bells Jingle In his ears, and when he wakes after the terrlb4t! dream of his mesmerizln.r and unconscious confession the audience shudders. It is a truly wonderful personation. Though weird and full .of witchery, neither the play nor the actor ever reach the horrible or transcend the purposes or limits of dramatic art. Miss JLilen Terry 13 seen to charming5 advantage the opening night here in Charles Rewl 8 comedy "Nance Oldfleid." a sort of female "David Garrick." Miss Terry's I'ort!a in "The Merchant of Venice" needs no commendation. She is tho greatest Tortia known to the stage. By the way. Miss Terry's daughter, now a tall, fair English girl, will play Jessica here In 'The Merchant of Venice" Wednesday matinee. She Is very much like her beautiful and talented mother. i The white thorn wood scene In f'KIng Arthur" Is said to bo the most beautiful ever seen on any stage. It is the scene of Queen Guinevere's Maying. Other noted stage pictures in this play are tho magic sword scene, that of the great hall at Came lot, the death of tho fair Elaine, the turret above the river at Camelot and the passing of Arthur. It is throughout a succession of magnifier nt scene3. rrk-Iiham's Octoroons. Is ham's Octoroons are all that was promised, and a little bit more.

A METHODIST COUNCIL

COMING MEETING OF X OliTII INDIANA CONFERENCE AT RICIIJIOND. Preparation for the Event, Some of the Questions to lie Considered,' and Lists of Committees. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. " RICHMOND. Ind., March 19. On March 2Ti the North Indiana Conference, of the fMethodlit Episcopal Church will as3emble In this this city, the . men being the members and the . women merely visitors. For this event the Methodists of. the city are making great preparations, and every effort will be put forth to entertain the visitors and leave with them a pleasant remembrance o! Richmond and her people. The Methodists of Bichmond are well able to entertain the -conference, probably as much so as any other city in the State, everything considered. They have four churches here, and the total membership will fall little, if any, below 1,500. .The sessions of the conference will be held In the First Church, of which the Rev. W. H. Daniel Is the pastor. The North Indiana Conference was organized in Its present form in 1S53, but the sessions began in 1S44. There are 1S4 active ministers In the conference. Including the presiding elders, and quite a large number of superannuates, supernumeraries and local preachers. As a usual thing .there are about two hundred and , fifty ministers present at the conference, exclusive of numerous visitors, and this year the attendance will be largely augmented by the presence of ISO lay delegates, who will attend to assist in the work of selecting delegates to the General Conference, 4n which they are allowed to have a hand. The General Conference will meet In Cleveland in May, and there are seven delegates to elect. The contest promises ta be a spirited one, but there is only one name suggested thus far, that of Dr. A. E. M-ahin, of this city, presiding elder of the Richmond district. ' Tne sessions of the conference will be presided over, by the oldest bishop In the Methodise Church-Tnomas Bowman, of St. Louis. He. is now seventy-nine years of age, and has been a bishop for almost a quarter of a century. He began his career as a minister in 1831, entering the Baltimore Conference. This conference occupies one-fourth - of the State, and Is presided over by six "elders, who are stationed at Richmond, Muncle, Elkhart, lrt Wayne, Kokomo and Warsaw. They are Dr. A. E. M-ihin and the Revs. C O. Hudson, H. N. Herrick, J. A. Iewellen. M. S. Marble and F. T. Simpson. The statistics show that there were at the last report almost G0.000 full members, 214 local pnpachers, 4C2 churches, valued at over a million and a quarter of dollars; 142 parsonages, valued at almost a quarter of a million of dollars; 446 Sunday schools, 6.912 officers and teachers, nearly 50.000 scholars, 260 Ep worth Leagues, with lo.OuO members; 1C0 Junior Leagues, with 2.000 members. The total indebtedness of all the church propertv in the conference is less than half a million dollars. The salaries pall amount to $150,000 a year, and about $?C,0u0 is given for mission work. PENDING QUESTIONS. Many Interesting" questions will come up before the conference for discussion. There will be the regular matters, pertaining' to the candidates for admission, candidates for local deacon's orders, candidates for local elder's orders, tho general qualifications of candidates for admission on trial and into full Connection, education, parsonages and furniture, tracts, Sunday sohool3, Freedman's Aid and Southern Education Society, temperance, conference relations, the Epworth League, the Woman's Home Missionary Society, the Woman's Foreign Missionary "Society, the Book Concern, popular amuseme-nts. Sabbath desecration, the American -Blblo Society, and fomo cttier matters. There will also, in all probability, bo discussions on the question f admitting women to the General Conference as deletrates; the question of a change in the system of bishops from election for life to a term of years, a permanent refildem and a diocese; creation of a negro bishop, representing that do-1 ment of the church; extending or removing the five-year limit at present in. force on the length of timo a pastor can serve at any one place; tho demand of tho laymen to have equal representation with pastors in the General Conference; their other demand to have some voice In assigning ministers at the annual conferences; tho creation of another bishop, the extremo age of both Bishops Bowman and Foster making it probable that they will not live until the General Conference meets again, which will not be until 1900. Dr. Earl Cranston, of Cincinnati, who is connected with the Book Concern, is prominently mentioned for the place, and It Is believed that he will bo selected on the first ballot.

traits of the ex-Governor of Ohio are prominenUy displayed, beneath the line, "Protection and Prosperity." Bis Increiuie in Republican Vote. Special to th Indianapolis Journal. DELPHI, Ind.. March 19.-There Is no doubt that the Republican vote in Jasper, Newton, IJenton, White and Pulauski counties will be heavier at the next election than ever before: This will not be entirely due to the unhappy conditions brought about by the Democratic party, but rather to the influx of Republican voters from Illinois. Durln? the past eighteen months hundreds of families have moved to these counties and taken up their peiroanent abode. Tho real estate transfers In White county la?t week amounted to almost a half million dollars. While the transfers in the other counties were not as large, yet they were larger than ever before in their history, and nearly every one of them represented land sold to fome citizen of Illinois. -It 'is said that nine of these, newcomer out. of ten are Republicans Jasper Newton and Renton have been Republ ica n for years, White has been doubtful, while Pulaski has been reliably Democratic. The Republican leaders in the last two counties state that there is every reason to believe that the incoming of these 11 npis farmers will make both counties reliably Republican. .
