AMUSEMENTS^ There was a dramatic treat at the Grand last night, the like of which comes to this city at only rare intervals during a season. While the personally successful work of Joseph Holland gave a finished tone to the production of the much talked about "Mysterious Mr. Bugle,” Indianapolis theatergoers knew’ something of Mr. Holalnd and were prepared for good entertainment whenever he should appear. The jealous-brained lover who is llung from highest hope to darkest despair at every whimsical opportunity of the playwright gives Mr. Htland plenty of business in rapid emotional changes, and they come with kaleidoscopic frequency. He was simply admirable in the role. But the surprise of the evening was the daintily acted part of Bettey Fondaere by Miss Gretchen Lyons. Miss Lyons is still so young and new in this country that she has to fight her way for recognition, but the talent showed by her performance last night cannot long keep her from being recognized as a prominent leading woman. No better candld;Re has appeared for the place resigned by Maud Adams, when she joined the ranks of the stars. Miss Lyons now is where Maud Adams was a few years ago, when Charles Frohman first saw wonderful stellar possibilities in her work and lifted her from "A Midnight Bell.” Throwing away all the rest of "the Mysterious Mr. Bugle” Miss Lyon s work alone is worth the pricelof admission. Her delicate beauty and graceful, magnetic personality is of the sort to inspire the dramatic writers of the Fast, and it is plain as the hand before the face that the province* will not have her long bb a road attraction. The entire cast in Madeline Lucette Ryley'a ptay is well selected, and the performance is as high-toned as the politest society patrons could desire. The farce begins with interesting action from the moment the curtain rises, and it is so necessary to be in at the first to get in full sympathy with the characters that the management has put on a brief but entertaining curtain raiser. "The Mysterious Mr. Bugle” will remain until Wednesday night, with a matinee to-morrow. Pnrk—Murray and Mack. The return of Murray and Mack to the Park Theater each fall is a more than ordinarily welcome event, judging by the crowded houses yesterday. Their popularity is unquestioned, and their abilities as funmakers have so thoroughly impressed theater goers that the attendance during their week's engagement never falls off. That duel scene between Hogan and l* mnegan is the same hit it was when first introduced last season. Murray and Mack have added considerable new business, notably the quarrel over a fiddle, which results in the destruction of the instrument, Finnegan’* head suffering somewhat during tHe transaction. “Finnegan's Courtship" is a very lively concoction. Murray and Mack present their burlesque l>oxing match and circus, and Murray, assisted by Lonnie Deane, indulges in a funny "dramatic pousse cafe.’ Their complement of funmakers is headed by the only Sadie t'onnolly. whose burlesque Spanish dance is a hit. Annie Lloyd sing;- with vivacity. The Trumbull Bisters are skilled dancers and regponded to several encores. Charles Morgan, Chris Bruno, Andrew Bode, Frank

Walters, Dolly Delroy, Lola Manissie. Lillian Gale, Virgie Wade and Bessie Varse all have something entertaining to do. Murray and .Mack will remain the present week at the Park, and the usual daily matinees will be given. Empire—Bruns and Nina. Bruns & Nina's vaudevilles opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon to remain a week. The entertainment presented is straight vaudeville, without any "burlesques.” Bruns and Nina give their familiar "illustrated songs.” Kinzo, Japanese juggler, does a very clever turn and McMillan and Shields do a fairly amusing burlesque drama. Others of the company are Zeila Clayton, singing soubrette; Prof. Ansonia, harp solos; Howard, hand-balancing; Grace Emmerson, endurance dancer, and Allen and Allen knockabout team. A cake walk by colored talent concludes the bill. It proved the most taking thing in the programme yesterday afternoon. The Empire has had several new and handsome scenes painted lately and before the performance at the matinee an exhibition was given with some of them, showing how scenes are set. Julia Arthur In “A Lady of Quality." DETROIT. Mich., Oct. 4— The Detroit Opera House was the scene to-night of the first production or the dramatization of Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett’s story "A Lady of Quality,” and the debut of Miss Julia Arthur as a star. Miss Arthur impersonated Lady Clorinda, the character in which the sole interest of the tragic play centers. The hopes of those who had watched the young actress's career of training as a member of Henry Irving’s Company were fully realized, and it is conceded that Miss Arthur both looks and acts Mrs. Burnett’s powerful emotional character most satisfactorily. The requirements of the part cover a range of action, from th hoydenish youthful Clorinda to the woman who suffers anguish and remorse to the verge of womanly endurance. Miss Arthur's rare emotional nature gave to the character a vivid intensity at times and again a sombre picturesqueness and nobility, and her powerful methods assisted her rather romantic style of beauty in winning the success which, as it happened, was achieved on the stage where she made her first appearance as an actress. The stage settings were pronounced the finest seen in Detroit, the costumes are faithful to seventeenth century times and the new play ran with singular smoothness and received continued plaudits of a very large audience. "A Ludy of Quality” is a dramatization of a novel made by Mrs. Burnett herself, assisted by Stephen Townsend. The play is in five acts, and, though in general theme it follows closely upon the lines of the hook, it still departs from the story, particularly in the ending, as greater sympathy is added, and picturesque incident introduced, the first act takes place in the country home of Wildairs, in which, in a rollicking supper scene, all the famous characters of the book appear. Hero arc seen the polished fascinating scamp, John Oxen; the 'oily, hardy Sir Christopher; the routing Wilder, and his worthless, though harmless convivial companion; the fearsome Parson; the impetuous Clorinda, first in the guise of a boy, and next as the. imperious woman. Then Mistress Whimpole and the timid Sister Ann come on the scene, and begin the winding of the skein. The scene vters to the great rose garden, which is a rare one for beautiful settings, as it depicts a gathering of the aristocracy of 1701. Here, as the reader of the story knows. Clorinda spurns the fickle Oxen and accepts the suit of the aged Earl of Donstanwolde, at a moment before she meets the man of her choice, the Duke of Osmonde. The third act takes place in a reception room of the newly-widowed Clorinda. and here John Oxen appears to claim her as his own. An incident which results in what is described as the strongest scene Jn modern fiction, is the death of John Oxen through a chance blow from the riding whip of the Lktdy Clorinda, which she uses in a fit of passion. The idea of the book, in which Clorinda in her great fear, hides the body beneath the couch upon which her visitors greet her a few moments later, is carried out in the play. Tne consummate strength of Mrs. Burnett as a dramatist is shown in the lust act, to which a happy and sympathetic ending is given. The time of the story is the beginning of the eighteenth century, a period of quaint costumes and poetic and highly-colored Scenes, the days of Addison and Pope. Incidental old-fashioned music is introduced, composed by F. H. Hodgson, Mrs. Burnett s brother, gnd Harry Braham. The play is staged by Napier Lothian, jr., who for a number of years was Mary Anderson’s stage manager. \ , . Julia Arthur makes a personal triumph in the play. Miss Arthur’s beauty is of a rich Oriental type. She is looked upon as possessing great magnetism. These, besides her force of expression, her charm of presence and her beautifully-modulated voice, are qualities which win for her a place in the hearts of the spectators. Mrs. Burnett pronounced Miss Arthur to be an ideal Clorifida for her "Lady of Quality,” and so she seems. _ Julia Arthur was born in Hamilton, Ont., and began her stage career at the age of twelve, in the support of Bandmann. She has appeared as most of Shakspeare’s heroines, and in a great repertoire of modern plays. She electrified New York not many years ago in the leading character of Ihe Black Mask.” and from that moment ail eves were turned upon her in the expectation of finding in her the leading female American exponent of histrionic art. Miss Arthur attached herself to the organization of Henry Irving in England, where she played leading roles to Sir Henry and Miss Terry, appearing in the gorgeous Lyceum Theater productions of "Becket.” "King Arthur" and "Bans Gene.” and making a positive triumph as Imogene in ‘Cymbeline Miss Arthur s return to America is therefore of more than ordinary significance, as it will show tier to the American public with her talents matured. She can be said to have earned the right to become a star. The company supporting Miss Arthur contains a number of well-known names including the following: Edwin Arden Bcott jnglis, Stephen Townsend, Woodward. Joseph Allen, Robert McWade Uawrence Miller, Herbert Fortier, and. B Bridgeland, Albert Brann, W. J. Thorolih J. H. Arnold. William Herbert, George H. Foster Marcus Moriarlty, J. H. Logan, Ethel Knight Mollison, Florence Conron, Marie Bingham, Maud Norman. Accident to J. M. Barrie. LONDON, Oot. 4.—An accident occurred to-day at the Haymarket Theater to J. M. Barrie, the author and playwright, w’hile he was directing a rehearsal of “The Little Minister.” on the stage of that place of amusement. A hand rail‘against which his chair was leaning broke and precipitated Mr. Barrie into the stalls. He was unconscious for some time, but it is not believed he has sustained serious injury. Edward Langrtry Insane. LONDON. Oct. 4.—Edward Langtry, former husband of Mrs. Lily Langtry, the actress, who recently obtained a divorce from him in California and who Is said to have privately married Prince I aul Esterhazv has been found wandering in a demented condition on the railway line near Chester and been sent to a lunatic asylum. AYnut to Stop the Eight Picture*. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, lnd., Oct. 4.—An attempt is being made here by the Ministerial Association to prevent the exhibition of the Cor-bett-Fitzsimmon fight pictures announced to be given two nights this week. Notes of the Stage. Anew operetta by Planquette. "Mam’zell Quat'sous,” is soon to be produced. Mrs. S. A. Baker, of the Thomas Keene Company, now in her eighty-second year, claims the distinction of being the oldest actress on the stage. The Richard Mansfield Dramatic Company has filed articles of incorporation at Albany, N. Y., with a capital stock of $25,000. The directors are Richard Mansfield, Mrs. Susan H. Mansfield. A. M. Palmer. Joseph H. Dillon. M>. and Mrs. Mansfield hold all but S3O worth of stock, which is divided between the others.

Those who desire to do so can secure coupon seats for that section of the house without any advance in price, either for afternoon or evening performances, seats being sold for the matinee at 25 cents and for evenings at 50 cents.

BOSTON WON THE FIRST BALTIMORE DEFEATED IN OPENING GAME OF TEMPLE <1 P SERIES. Oriole* Made n. Score of Hit*, but the Hiihite* Were Lucky and Got Seven Hanes on Bull*. BOSTON, Oct. 4. The new' champions took the first game for the Temple cup today. defeating the Baltimores in a close contest, more through a combination ofj lucky hits and daring base running, assisted by darkness, in the last two innings, than by any great superiority of play. Neither team showed championship form, while the work of the home team was at times very much below the mark. The Orioles batted Nichols out of the box, and W’ould have given Lewis a similar dose if they could have seen the ball in the last two innings. As it was, the game ended in the moonlight, the umpires keeping the players at it until some time after sundown. The w’eather was perfect—a mild Indian summer day—with no wind and a clear atmosphere that was conducive to snappy playing. Attendance, 10,000. Score: Boston. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

Engineer, Fireman and Bnggagemn*ter. All of Logansport. Injured. PIQUA. 0., Oct. 4.—Panhandle passenger train No. 21, west bound, was wrecked two and a half miles east of this city this morning. The train was coming down grade at the rate of forty miles an hour, and in crossing the frog of the Jordan switch left the track. The engineer had the presence of mind to shut off the steam and apply the air brakes. The engine continued, notwithstanding, at a terrific rate of speed, tearing up the tracks and plowing the ground. For five hundred and seventy feet the engine jumped over the ties and then went into the ditch at the side of the main track. The tender went in the opposite direction, while the baggage ear was thrown crosswise of the track. Two day coaches were derailed and crushed together. The Pullman ears were also derailed, nut they escaped with little damage. Ell Carroll, of Logansport. the engineer In charge, was hurled fifty feet and fell on a portton of his cab.

Latter Now Virtually Champion ot Feather Weight*—t ame Out of the Mill Without a Scratch. SAN FRANCISCO, Oot. 4.—Solly Smith, of Los Ar.areles, was given the decision over George Dixon, of Boston, in a twenty-round fight tonight. The match was virtually fpr the champienship of the feather-weight class and Smith is now at the top. The fight was riot a remarkably fast one. the men taking no chances except in two or three rounds, when Dixon attempted to force matters. Smith, however, who has greatly improved since he met Dixon, had all the better of the in-fighting, using his right with great effect both on the body and head. Smith was cool throughout the fight and came out without a niuik of any kind. His blocking and ducking of IMxon’s leads were the features of the fight and kept him out Os harm's way. Smith showed up strong in the first ten rounds, but there were no sensational incidents. The eleventh, round was a “corker-" Both men were willing and it was a mix from the start. First Dixon landed a left swing on the head and Solly came back with his right on head and left straight in George's lace and the latter’s head went buck. George rushed and punched his left on wind and face. Up to this point the advantage was slightly in favor of Smith. Little was done *n the next two rounds. The fourteenth opened like a hurricane, but after two or three ineffectual mixes they eased up. Solly got in a staggering right-hander oh IHxon’s jaw. The next three, rounds were Smith’s. The eighteenth was about even. Jn tip* nineteenth Smith swung viciously, with rite.riche ms the ,jawi throwing his whole weight with tne blow. George avoided it, however, and gave Solly a good, nurd left on the jaw. In the twentieth and last round Smith forced the fighting and punched George on the bodv and head with his right. In the mixes Smith had all th best of the in-fighting. George Green, the referee, had no hesitancy in awarding the decision to Smith. The dt vision was received with no signs of dissatisfaction by the audience, still had the men not, ugieeu to have a decision whether both were on their feet at the finish or r.ot. a draw would not have been a bad decision. About tit u.iw changed hands on the result. Before thg I)ix< n light to-night at Woodward’s Pavilion it was announced that Jimmy Lawler, of Sun Francisco and B. Williams, of Boston, would box ten rounds for P. decision. Billy Elmer was chosen referee. The betting before the contest was 9 to lit in favor of Lawler. Time was called at *;45. Williams had slightly the better of the light in the first (wo roynus and In the third honors were easy. 'Hie fourtn was decidedly ir. Lawler’s favor and the gong only saved Williams in die fifth. In the early part of the sixth Lawler, by a succession of hard blows, put his antagonist out. Fought Fifteen Round*. CINCINNATI, 0., Oft. 4.—George Stout, of Cincinnati, obtained the decision over Eugene Bezenah. of Covington, Ky., in their fifteen-round bout at’ the People’s Ath.letic Club here to-night in the presence of one of the largest crowds ever seen at a boxing contest In this vicinity. The men fought at 132 pounds for SBOO. Stout was the aggressor in every round, and, although receiving a great number of left jabs in the face, his rushing tactics and hard blows perceptibly weakened Bezenah, and the latter was very groggy at the end of the fifteenth round. McCoy and ltlley to Fight. CHICAGO, Oct. 4.—The match between Tommy Ryan, of Syracuse, and Billy Stift, of Chicago, has been postponed until Nov. 20. the original date having been Oct. 23. The cause of the postponement is the illness of Ryan’s wife and the inability of the fighter to train properly by Oct. 23. A sixround go has been arranged between Kid McCoy and Con Riley, or Ohio, on Oct. 23, and the places of Ryan and Stift will be taken by Young Griffo and Frank Garrard, who will meet for twenty rounds.

SPAIN'S FRAIL BOY KING EVERYDAY LIFE OF ALFOYSO XIII AT SAX SEBASTIAX. -- ♦ The Royal Family, Apparently, Ha* Xo Fear of Amirclilst*, and So Precaution* Are Taken. London Letter in New York Sun. King Alfonso XIII will soon be twelve years of age, and already people are speculating as to the probabilities of his living to ascend the throne which his mother, the Queen Regent, expects to vacate in 1 is favor upon the day that he attains his eighteenth year. Moreover, not many can be found to dispute the probability of the prediction that if Spain should be so mad as to go to war with the United States, with the inevitable consequences of defeat and the loss of Cuba, the Bourbon dynasty, of which this little fellow is the frail representative, would disappear forever in the ruins made by the rage of a proud and sensitive people humiliated into the dust. Alfonso is weighted with seven names in addition to the one by which the world knows him. Leon, Ferdinand, Marie, Jacques, Isidore, Pascal and Antoine were all given to him at his baptism, and we are informed by the Almanach de Gotha, the table and prayer book of Europe’s royalty and nobility, besides being King of Spain he is also King of Castille, of Leon, of Aragon, of the two Sicilies, of Jerusalem, of Navarre, of Grenada, of Toledo, of Valencia, of Galicia, of Majorca, of Minorca, of Seville, of Sardinia, of Cordova, qf Corcega, of Murcia, of Jean, of Algarve, of Algeziras, of Gibraltar, of the Canary islands, of the Eastern and Western Indies, of India and of the Oceanic continent. He is an Archduke of Austria, Duke of Burgundy, of Brabant and Milan, Count of Hapsburg, of Flanders, of the Tyrol and of Barcelona and Lord of Biscay and Molina, etc. And now let us see what manner of human being is this twenty-seven-fold King. Some idea may be gained from the following piain description of his Majesty’s everyday life at San Sebastian, written by a Sun reporter there: About San Sebastian, the Spanish Newport and the summer home of Spain’s royal family, enough has been written to make it familiar to all, but a few details of the daily life of “el pcquenito” (the little one), as he is affectionately called by his subjects, are worth recording. Every year the court makes a sojourn of several months at the north coast watering place, drawing in its train a great portion of fashionable Madrid, and makihg the pretty town the center of Spanish life for the season. The royal family, consisting of the King, the Queen Regent and her two daughters, reside in the Real Palaeio de Miramar, a pleasantly situated though not very imposing edifice, built chiefly of red brick, and, as its name implies, overlooking tl' sea. It is, indeed, a charming view that can ,b® seen from any of the palace windows, a mass of color, ruggedness and calmness marvelously blended. Straight in front of the Bay of Biscay, charming alike in storm or cairn; to the left and to the right high and rugged cliffs of majestic beauty, and to the rear a smiling country, backed by the dim shapes of the not far distant Pyrenees. Here his little Majesty lives a joyous but busy life, divided betweeji health-giving recreations, political studies and inner home occupations. The time when he is most seen by nis subjects, to whom San Sebastian is either a permanent or a temporary abiding place, is in the early morning when lie sallies out for the daily sea bath. This is sometimes abandoned on account of bad weather, but, providing the morning be line, one may be sure of a good look at the royal family at 10 a. m.—or as near this hour as the Spanish idea of punctuality will allow. A knot of expectant persons of both sexes and all ages and stations in life gathered around the opening in the sea wall leading to the caseta real, or royal bathing house, announces the approach of the hora del bafio, and presently a few officers in gorgeous uniforms group themselves picturesquely around the bathing house. They all appear deeply interested in the latest news from Cuba, all reading the morning papers assiduously. Then from the private road leading to the royal palace a carriage, comes dashing up, drawn by four horses, or sometimes mules. This equipage contains the royal family itself. The Queen Regent and her daughters are in charming light morning toilettes, and the King in a blue and white striped sailor suit with the regulation straw hat. The little King jumps out first and rushes headlong down the wooden slope in a manner very undignified for a king, but with such an abandon and appearance of joyous spirits as to win the hearts of the spectators. There is no ceremony, n” fuss, no demonstration. The officers anu the male spectators doff their hats, and the Queen Regent and the infantas follo w more leisurely their lord and master into the bathing house. Nothing will now he seen for a few minutes save about half a dozen stalwart men in bathing suits whose duty it is to look after the King when in the water, who rush about in a frantic endeavor to do something—or to appear to be doing something. . ~. . Presently the King steps out of the house, which it may be stated resembles as much as anything a glorified summer house, divided into two octagonal buildings with a landing between and steps leading down to the water. When the royal party enters the house is close up to the sea wall, but once Inside the whole structure i3 allowed to slide gently down on rails by means of a paid-out cable, until the surf breaks over the steps and the water laps the wooden walls. The little monarch wears a blue and white bathing costume and is hatless. A favorite attendant approaches, but his Majesty scorns to be helped into the water, and making a run and a jump is in a moment up to his neck in the sea. After a few preliminary skirmishes with the heavy billows which break incessantly on the beach the King with the assistance of his attendant, gains deeper “water and begins to swim, diving through the waves with the greatest zest and enjoyment. He is not allowed to remain in the water any great length of time, however, and at a signal from his mother, who. with the infantas, watches from the steps of the bathhouse, the attendant begins to help him back; but Alfonso frequently breaks from the man’s grasp to dive again through an Incoming wave, and he seems most reluctant to leave the water, / . . . Altogether a more genuinely boyish and entertaining scene than this morning gambol in the sea by the King of Spain could probably not be witnessed. When running down the slope to the bathing house one morning in August last he slipped and stumbled on to his knees. An attendant rushed forward, but the King was on his feet in a moment with a laugh and continued his run with unabated speed. His subjects appear to like him best in this mood, and it is amusing to note how the King’s morning sailor costume is copied bv all the boys of similar age standing at San Sebastian. There is. however, a singular difference, for all the young would-be sailors of inferior rank to Alfonso XIII wear hats with an English ribbon bearing the legend "H. M. S. Terrible," “FI. M. S. Alert,” etc. At other times during the day the royal carriage with the same four occupants, may be seen driving swiftly through the streets. All vehicles are driven at a great pace in San Sebastian, and a horse’s life—particularly a ear horse’s—must be a very short one. At the approach of the royal equipage the passersby of the male sex stand and raise their hats, and are generally rewarded by a bow of acknowledgment and a smile. As for precautions against Anarchists and fanatics, the royal personages appear to take absolutely none, and any Anarchist, with murderous designs would find not the least difficulty in exterminating the whole of the royal family during its summer sojourn at gan Sebastian. But he would never live, to tell the tale, for lie would be Immediately torn to pieces by the crowd. Asa Spaniard said to the writer at San Sebastian: “Anarchists and political reformers do not make war on women and children, and Alfonso and his much esteemed royal mother are as safe as the merest plebeian in the streets of Spanish towns.” I,are Barn Burned. The large modern barn on the farm of Mrs. M. J. Nesblt at Allisonville was destroyed by fire abc-'t 4 o’clock yesterday evening. A large quantity of grain was destroyed, including 1,000 bushels of oats, several hundred bushels of wheat and a lot of hay. It is thought several head of swine were in the barn at the time and were lost. The tire was Lrst discovered by a boy employed on the farm. He had just driven a wagon into the barn and had stepped to the doors when he discovered a blaze under the wagon. He gave the alarm at once and efforts were made In vain to save the property. The wugon was drawn out of the burning stable, but most everything else was

destroyed. The theory Is that some one .must have dropped a match on the tloor of the barn and that it was ignited by a wheel of the wagon passing over it. The loss on the barn and contents is estimated at $4,500. ERNESTINOFF’S RESIGNATION. Considering an Offer from the German Club and One from Pittsburg:.

But before she can .. c ut pranks With the baby she must have a healthy baby. A puny, sickly, peevI baby has no use for V* pranks. It lies in every young mother’s power to insure the health of the exJHMHRMnB \ pected newcomer. yfonriL'Y If she will see that the organs which Irak* 'it <vvty vktvN make motherhood P oss ible are healthy I v will keep them so J during the period C y_r preceding matemity, she may be sure that the baby will be healthy and happy. A marvelous medicine for young mothers is Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription. Taken during the period preceding motherhood it makes strong, healthy and vigorous the organs upon which rest the burdens of maternity. It allays inflammation, soothes fiain, and restores steadiness to the nerves, t does away w'ith the discomforts of the expectant period. It insures the health of baby and makes its coming easy and almost painless. It is the discovery of an eminent and successful specialist, Dr. R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician to the Invalids* Hotel and Surgical institute, Buffalo, N. Y. “ I took Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription before mv confinement, and I was only in la!>or a short time,” writes Mrs. Minnie A. Peterson, Box 5, Easton, Fresno Cos., Cal. ‘The physician •aid I got along unusually well. I think the medicine saved a great deal of suffering and I get all my friends who need it to try it.’’ One of the best known of American medical men said: “If you want to reform a man, begin with his grandfather.” That would be wise if it could be done. Since ii cannot be done, try something else. Reform the future grandfathers and grandmothers. Do this through education. The greatest thing for a man or woman to know is himself or herself. To know one-half the capabilities and disabilities of the human body is a liberal education. A good start for this education is Dr. Pierce’s Common Sense Medical Adviser.
