npNTRT Dr * A - E * BUCHANAN I/liilillJi 32-33 When Bulldint AMUSEMENTS. Grand—*'Mlm Franc!* o( Yale.” The new farce. “Miss Francis of Yale,” was a laughing success as presented for the first time in this city at the Grand last night. The company is first class, the situations generally not forced and the audience Is kept in a state of uninterrupted high good humor during the three amusing acts. A cleaner farce, or onto more carefully pruned of questionable subterfuges for thb sake of a laugh, could not be easily constructed. The lines are not broad, seldom suggestive of any evil and the entire production is high grade in its class. More of the success Is due, perhaps, to the art of the actors than to anything else about the play. The little Klondike blonde, Etienne Girardot, of "Charley’s Aunt" fame, who was not seien in this city when "Charley's Aunt” played here, is fortunately built for the role of Miss Francis, and takes the part most cleverly. While he Is undoubtedly the hit of the farce there Is no member of the company not deserving of some modicum of praise for helping to give a performance as smooth as if all had just come out of Augustin Daly’s school. The women are well cast and there is no quarreling for the center of the* stage. They happily combine good looks with finished impersonations. Lavinia Shannon Is a worldly widow with a silvery laugh, which she has developed almost into a specialty. Monte Donico, the Southern beauty, who had the advantage of a decidedly favorable impression in this city with Roland Reed last year, gave a refined touch to the sertously-in-love girl, whose hopes are temporarily blasted. Sarah McVicker was, of course, delightful in her burlesque of the strong-minded governess and a pillar or strength to the company. Gertrude Homan saved a silly girlish role from bankruptcy by her maidenly grace, and ldalene Cotton made opportunities in the part of the regulation farce servant girl. Owen Westfora, Raymond Capp, George Farren and Louis Grlsel helped maintain the reputation which the farce has gained wherever given and will continue to do so during its brief stay here, which closes with the two performances to-day. Note* of the Stage. Among the Al. G. Field Rig White Minstrels at the Grand next Tuesday matinee and night will be seen that famous oldtime fun maker, Billy Van. Fred Rider’s "Moulin Rouge" burlesque and variety show will close a good week's business at the Empire with two performances to-day. “The White Elephant” comes next week. "The Heart of Chicago” crowded the Park again yesterday at both performances and will play to the capacity of the new theater this afternoon and to-night.

KNAU AND GOAR. Their Work and thnt of Wood Helped Bring Defeat. They didn’t play like champions yesterday by a good deal. It is true that Knau was responsible primarily for most of the St. Paul runs, but Goar’s erratic pitching in the eighth and Wood’s poor work behind the bat cannot be laid at his door. Failure to follow up a. couple of little hitting streaks lost them several runs, and, altogether, it was a disappointing game. There are still two more chances to square matters and if Watkins’s men will only get after the St. Paul gang this afternoon and take both games there will be "no kick coming.” Aside from that awful eighth inning Goar pitched good ball, but the trouble was that George Cross was equally as effective and had better control. McFarland had a couple of good catches and Hogriever’s playing was all that could be asked. McCarthy, Motz and Wood did most of the hitting, getting seven of the nine secured off Cross. For three innings neither team secured an advantage, but in the fourth Indianapolis earned a run, and the crowd was happy for a few moments. Gray hit to right for a base and McFarland sacrificed. McCarthy llew to George and Gray reached third, scoring on Motz’s fine two-bagger to left. Wood went out from third to first. The Saints quickly destroyed this little lead owing to very poor playing by the leaders. Mcßride struck out, but Glenalvin lined a safe hit to right. Glasscock gave Knau an easy chance, but the little fellow fumbled the ball. Then George scratched an infield hit, which Goar diverted out of reach. With the bases filled, Nyce flew to Hogriever, who made a good throw to the plate, but Wood dropped the ball and Glenalvin scored. A moment later one of Goar’s fast curves twisted out of Wood’s hands and Glasscock came in. Gillen flew'to Stewart. Again in the sixth did .Watkins’s men gladden the hearts of their followers. With two out, McFarland was passed to first, and when McCarthy hit over George’s head for three bases, scoring him with the tie run, there was general and very noisy rejoicing. Motz hit down the third base line for a base, scoring McCarthy, and Wood followed with a pretty single to right, sending Motz to third. Wood stole second, and the prospect was lovely, but Stewart struck out. In their half Comiskey’s men tied the score and put the fans on the anxious se*at once again. With one out, Glenalvin was presented with a base and a passed ball moved him to second. Glasscock hit to Goar and Glenalvin was run down on the line, old "Battle Ax" reaching second. A lucky two-bagger by Billy George along the right foul line sent him home. Nyce went out from pitcher to first. A NIGHTMARE IN THE EIGHTH. Indianapolis managed to get one to the good In the eighth, when, with two out, McCarthy, Motz and Wood all hit safe. Wood again stole second after an exciting chase up and down the line, but Stewart was once more unequal to the situation and gave Isabel an easy fly. The last half was a nightmare, and when it was over St. Paul had the game won, with runs to spare. With two strikes on Mcßride, that exceedingly husky hitter managed to place a safe one in left and Goar followed up this unfortunate start by giving Glenalvin a base on balls. Knau fumbled Glasscock’s grounder and Mcßride scored. Then Goar hit George and filled the bases again, only to force a run in by a gift to Nyce. Gillen flew to McFarland, who made a pretty catch of it, Glasscock scoring. Isabel hit to Stewart, who handled the ball so slowly that everybody was safe. Spies drove a safe hit to right and two more runs came in, though Nyce would have been caught at the plate easily enough on Hogriever’s good throw had Wood paid some attention to his business. As it was, he let the man run right back of him while he had the ball in his hands, and the crowd groaned at the misplay. Cross struck out and put a stop to the slaughter. In tin* ninth Kahoe batted for Knau, and when the Saints saw him they jeered ana howled in derision. But when Michael put the ball over Isabel’s head to the left-field fence for three bases they grew serious. Goar went out from short to first, but Kahoe was held at third to keen Spies up. Hogriever reached first on balls and the crowd was shouting lustily when Gray drove a liner into Nyce’s hands, ending the game as Hogriever, who had started to steal second, was easily doubled on the play.

Invention of a Brooklyn Lawyer That Mu) Result In Cutting Racing Time Down to a Mile a Minute. * NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—A mechanical surprise will be sprung in all probability on the cycling world within a few days and all records for speed will go by the board if the present prospeqts oJ the new machine's capacity are realized. A well-known Brooklyn lawyer has invented a bicycle with a present gear of 250, and he is confident that he will see a mile close to the minute mark. Albert Sehock, the well-known six-day champion, is the only rider of prominence who has seen the new bicycle, and 13 the only one outside of the inventor who has ridden it. Mr. Schock, who is a conservative man, said: "I have every belief in the new wheel and really expect that it will revolutionize the present bicycle. It is mechanically correct, and with a few minor alterations as to weight and gear I believe the wheel will prove satisfactory. I was very busy In my store one day when a man walked in and introduced himself, stating that he had heard of my ability as a rider and wanted me to look at a ne,w wheel that he had invented. He took me to his office and there showed me what 1 consider will prove to be the speediest bicycle that ever has been invented. its present gear is 250, but I advised 150 to 175, although I did not seem to have much more work propelling the 250gear than 1 did my ninety six-day gear. The speed that you get out of the new bicycle is simply terrific. "The inventor is a rather small sized man, and he tells me that he rode a half mile in forty-three seconds, and in a trial 1 made on the bicycle path the other night I must have been traveling close to the minute mark. The only difficulty I experienced was in turning, and 1 think the very high gear is responsible for that. I had a private trial at Manhattan Beach at midnight Tuesday, and 1 am not at liberty to say what time I made, but if I use the machine in the $2,000 handicap Saturday and Monday I will win the race. I might say that I had trouble at the turns owing to the hign rate of speed attained in the straight, but with a lower gear that the inventor now is trying to get 1 think it will be quite possible to do 1:30 without pace.” The question whether Mr. Schock will be allowed to use the machine in racing was referred to A. G. Bateheider, the handicapper, and he stated that in the general rules of the L. A. IV. racing board clause K covers that point. It is as follows: “The board reserves the right to exclude from the racing path any and all machines which, in its judgment, do not come within the commonly accepted meaning of the term ‘bicycle,’ either by peculiarity of construction or by undoubted mechanical advantages which they may possess.” The new wheel undoubtedly possesses mechanical advantages, so it is a question whether the referee, Mr. Mott, will allow Schock to start in the $2,000 handicap on the new machine Saturday.

A Cyclist Suspended for Life. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Sept. 3.—H. W. Foltz, of the national racing board of the L. A. W., has suspended for life Archie Ferguson, a promising young race rider of this city, who was prominent in the events of the recent state meet of the L. A. W. He rode a race at Lebanon under the assumed name of Louis Henckel. Ed Sandison, also prominent in local wheeling circles, likewise was suspended for life for acting as Ferguson's trainer. Elnond'* L. A. W. Race* Announced. Special to the Indianaitelis Journal. ELWOOD, Ind., Sept. 3.—-Ellis Hunter, of Indianapolis, chairman of the state racing board, will be here on Sept. 6 to referee the bicycle races. The L. A. W. has sanctioned the meet and all records made will be authentic. It is estimated that 200 racing cyclists and 5,000 people will be present. A Murderer’s Strange Request. ATLAXTA, Ga., Sept. 3.—Murderer Perry, pacing up and down “ten spot,” as the murderer's cell is called, has been sending challenges to Governor Atkinson all day to come down and engage in a praving bout with him. “If the Governor can do nothing else for me,” he says, “he can give me the benefit of his prayers. It would boa strange sight to see a Governor and the victim he has made for the gallows kneeling together, but it Would prove that I have forgiven him. 1 will invite him to come every day from now until the date of execution.” Social Scientists Adjourn. SARATOGA, X. Y., Sent. 3.—This was the fifth and last day of the sessions of the American Social Science Association. in the department of financial and social economy addresses were delivered by Frank B. Sanborne, of Concord, Mass., on “The Progress in Social Economy Since 1874.” and by Prof. J. W. Jenks. of Cornell University, on “Causes of the Fall of Prices Since 1572." Joseph Lee, of Brookline, Mass., submitted a report on “Trade Schools." Discussion of the "George Junior Republic” was led by Professor Jenks. Strike of 5.000 Vest Milkers. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—Vest makers to the number of five thousand went on strike to-day for higher wages.

Half of the strikers are women. 1 he demand was for an advance of 20 to 25 per cent, in the wage scale. Sixteen hundred cloak makers are on strike to-day in four shops and as a result of a settlement 1.3 M cloak makers returned to work to-day in other shops.

Good Pitching hy Roth Breitenstein and Ilusie. NEW YORK, Sept. 3.—The Giants and Reds broke even in their double-header today. In the first game, up to the fifth inning, Sullivan pitched a good game. In the fifth he became somewhat rattled and the Cincinnati scored seven runs, including a home run by Beekley. The Reds also got two runs in the seventh and two in the ninth. Breitenstein was in rare form. In the second game the Reds could not find the ball when they wielded the cudgel, except in the seventh, when McPhee worked a little liner over Davis’s head for a single. Their three runs were made on errors. Rhines had a sore finger and was only able to toss the ball over the plate, enabling the Giants to fatten their batting averages. Attendance, 9,100.

Match Race at Charter Oak Park for Purse of $3,000— Lafayette Track Record Lowered hy Pearl C. HARTFORD, Conn., Sept. 3.—To-day’s programme at Charter Oak Park was too long to be finished before dark. Two heats were necessary to bring to an end the hardfought 2:30 trot, seven heats of which were trotted Wednesday. Town Lady won the first heat to-day in 2:14. Emily took the second in 2:13% and won first money. Town Lady got second money. Nancy Time third and The Tacomis fourth. The most stubbornly-fought race of the day was the 2:14 pace. Ambulator was expected to win it, with Forest Herr and Quick Turn second and third choices. Ambulator finished no heat better than third, while Forest Herr and Quick Turn were distanced in the second heat by Quadriga, who surprised all the knowing ones by going the mile in 2:09%. Favor then showed the way home in the three other heats in fast time, and apparently with speed to spare. The Abbott won the 2:18 trot in straight heats. He seemed w inded when he finished the second heat, and many looked for Lucy Carr to take the third, but she was not equal to it. Star Pointer won from Joe Patchen with apparent ease. It had been agreed that each horse should alternate at the pole, and the toss of a penny decided which should start in that position. Mr. Murphy, owner of Star Pointer, won the toss. In the second heat, when Patchen had the pole, Pointer had to travel a little faster to get to the wire first, and that heat was done in 2:03%. He landed about half a length ahead in each heat. Only one heat was trotted in the 2:10 trotting race. The day was fine, and 10,000 persons were present. Marion Mills paced a mile without a driver in 2:08%.

The crowd was disappointed in the race between Star Pointer and Joe Patchen. In the three heats the two horses traveled the mile side by side, Pointer going about half a length ahead In the home stretch and keeping it to the wire. The race was without any other feature and there was a general belief that the horses were not driven as fast as they could go. There was disappointment at the slow time and there were no cheers when it was announced.

Washington Letter In St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat, Commissioner Evans sat at his desk the other day figuring on pensions as they concern generations yet unborn. The Declaration of Independence is 121 years old. The country is still discharging its debt of gratitude in the material form of pensions toward those who “fit” for it. Os course, thtere are no surviving soldiers of the revolution. There are. however, surviving widows. The commissioner was speculating on what that fact hits to do with the future of the present pension list. He has now upon his roll of monthly recipients 983,628 names. Before the end of tfte current year the grand army of ptensionei's will pass the 1.060,000 mark. It is a fair Reduction that ninety years hence the government of the United States will still be paying pensions for th’e civil war of 1861-65. The army of George Washington was a squad compared to the 2,000,000 and more enrolled In the North to crush secession It suffered privations calculated to sap vitality, but the widows of those patriots of Valley Forge arte still drawing pensions. Unless the twentieth century women differ much from the nineteenth century women there will be a roll of honor In the yVar of 1987 of quite respectable proportions. Pensions conduce to matrimony. A fixed income which can be transmitted after death as an estate has its bearing on thte question of marriage. “Suppose." sugges t'd the commissioner, with his sheet of figures before him, "fourteen years to be the lowest limit of age for a soldier in the revolution of 1776. A soldier of that age would have been thirty-eight ytears old in 1800. Now the youngest of our revolutionary widows on the pension list is eighty-three. She was born In 1814. At the date of her birth the youngest of the revolutionary soldiers was fifty-two. If he married this woman when she was eighteen he was seventy. There you have the age conditions of matrimony not at all unreasonable or unusual.” Reasoning from what has proven true regarding pensioners, the commissioner I ts no doubt that during several years to come girl babies will tote born to the destiny of becoming the widows of the veterans of 1865 and of drawing pensions. If there are ten revolutionary widows on the roll now there may be 1,000 civil war widow's in 1986. This is possible without taking Into account the fact that th’e world Is learning how to live longer. The ranks of the old soldiers are thinning. The ranks of the old soldiers’ widows are not. Nearly one-fourth of the 983.628 names now m the roll are widows. To be Vxaet, the widows at present receiving pensions number 128,522. The proportion is Increasing steadily. Soon one-third of the pensions will go to the widows. A few years later the widows will outnumber the veterans. Th’e time wl'l cotne when the widows will exceed the old soldiers in such numerical relation as they do for the war of 1812. There are seven survivors of IH2 on the roll and there are 2,810 pensioned widows of that war. 'lire Indian wars were i* >2 to 1842, from fi'ty-five to sixty-five years ago. The pensioned veterans of those Indian wars number 2,373 a id the widows 4.255. Thte Mexican war widows do not quite equal veterans. They number 8,072. whilte the male pensioners of that war, fought fifty years ago, are 10,922. Os Union soldiers who participated in the civil war the lumber new pensioned is 741,141. Unless additional laws are passed this number of war veterans will not g**ovr much. The deaths are about 35,000 a year. The new applicants admitted to the roll, with the greatest diligence the Pension Bureau can bestow, will not long maintain the present strength of pensioned veterans. But the widows will grow in numbers for many years to come.
