Grand—“ The Man In Black.” Walker Whiteside has certainly found a new play In “the Man in Black” which will afford his many admirers rare entertainment. It seems to matter little what this gifted actor atempts. He displays an inborn power to fascinate the audience in any role. Last night at the Grand the Indianapolis public saw the tragedian depart from his usual rule, leaving “Richelieu,” "Hamlet,” "Othelo” and the rest in the vista, and showing anew characterization evolved from Stanley Weyman’s interesting novel. The new character proved to be a weird, gruesome personality, of thrilling interest. The actor appeared as two distinct characters, not like Louis and Fabien, of the "Corsican Brothers,” of Dumas, but more like that hideous Individuality of Jeckyl and Hyde. "The Man in Black” is a question of a dual personality, one man playing two roles, but both himself. Neither partakes of the characteristics of the other. The one is a brave, gallant cavalier; the other, a cringing, feeble, montebank astrologer. In these two roles Mr. Whiteside gives great evidence of his wonderful theatric power, his change from the lover of the first act to the old man of the second is a keynote in theatrical technique. The lover of the first act is fervid; the old man of the second, senile. The third act sees Notradame, the astrologer, still a trickster, but in the fourth his vigor, mind and memory are brought back to him. Casting aside the robes of the charlatan he stands forth again the brave cuvalier of Richelieu's bodyguard. Mr. Whiteside, as the young and old man, told his story beautifully to the audience. The cruel blow upon his head in the first act took from the play a beautiful character, Raoul de Renaux, but it gave the audience that mystic personality Solomon Notradame, played by Mr. Whiteside in such a manner that a stranger might have doubted that it was the same actor who had previously appeared as the dashing lover. As the winsome, pretty sweetheart, Diane, Miss Wolstan sustained her reputation for grace and intense dramatic portrayal. There was a fine bit of pathetic and natural acting when Diane finds her brother after so many years of separation. Mr. Frederick Paulding as the villainous Vidoche won the animosity of the audience as he had gained its favorable appreciation the evening before in “Richelieu.” A particularly entertaining bit was done by Miss Antoinette Walker, who played the part of the boy. Miss Walker is an own cousin of Mr. Whiteside, and, like him, Hoosier born. This is her second season only, and she gives evidence of sharing with her illustrious cousin the divine gift of dramatic expression. The rest of Mr. Whiteside’s support did excellent York in the new play. “The Man in Black” will be repeated at to-day's matinee. Mr. Whiteside’s nne production of "Hamlet” will be given to-night, the closing performance of his all too brief engagement. The demand for seats points to the house being sold out before the doors open. Actor Thomas Whiffet* Dead. NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-Alr. Thomas Whiffen. the well-known actor, died in Hartford, England, Sunday. Mr. Whiffen was an Englishman by birth and made his first success in this country as “Sir Joseph Porter” in the original production of "Pinafore” in America. Later he joined the old Madison-square stock company and made a hit as “Pittacus Green” in “Hazel Kirke." Mr. Whiffen's work for the past three years in “Sowing the Wind” made him a favorite in Indianapolis. His role was that, of the delightfully cynical and comic bachelor, Watkins, the close friend of Brabai A NERVE FOOD 1 : IS FOUND IN | I ... POSTUM j At Grocers. X

zon, who was unable to find any good in Ned Annersly marrying Rosamond. Whiffen created the role and gave it a classic coloring almost. New Vaudeville Combination. ST. LOUIS. Oct. 12.—The Hopkins and Castle syndicates are confronted by a strong rival in the vaudeville field. Mr. Sam Gumpartz, formerly John D. Hopkins's manager, now conducting the Imperial Theater in this city, has concluded a deal whereby Gustav Walters, of the Orpheum circuit of the Pacific coast; J. H. Moore, of the Rochester, Detroit and Milwaukee combination and the St. Louis-Cincinnati people agree to stand by one another in competition for vaudeville stars. By this arrangement they can give performers long engagements. They will pay the 20 per cent, extra demanded by performers for going to the coast. This is what caused the split that led to the dissolution of the Hopklns-Orpheum combination. Note* of the Stage. Mile. Ani's Monarch* will conclude at the Empire to-night. The Rentz-Santley Novelty and Burlesque Combination has been secured for the last half of the week. The matinee this afternoon and to-night’s performance end the "Hogan’s Alley" engagement at the Park. To-moirow “The Prodigal Father” opens for three days. The prices for Anton Seidl’s concerts here will be popular and the advance will begin to-morrow at the Pembroke. This great orchestra will be here Thursday of next week. Robert Mantell’s new play, to be seen at the Grand to-morrow night and the rest of the week, is a French romance of 1720, when the Due d’Crleans was Regent. In those days it was not unusual for a court favorite to ask for a “lettre de cachet,” or secret warrant, the same to be held over the head of some poor, unsuspecting offender of her fancy, who by the treacherous document might be consigned at any moment to the bastile, and, once there, die without ever again being heard of. Louis De Beaumont, having slighted the love of the infamous Gabrielle De Victor, is thus doomed, but, by a clever ruse, turns the tables on hia enemy and confounds the too susceptible Regent. "A Secret Warrant” is a strong play and gives an example of the corrupt practices of the Bourbons, which, sixty years later, brought about the French revolution.

Oct. 12.—The Supreme Court has dismissed the appeal of Herr William Liebknecht, the Socialist leader and editor, against the sentence of four months imprisonment passed against him on Nov. 14, 1896, for lese majesty, committed in his speech at the opening of the Socialist Congress at Breslau, on Oct. 7 of th%t year. Herr Liebknecht will, therefore, shortly undergo the sentence. The expressions used by Herr Liebknecht on which the. charge of lese majesty was based were the following; “The highest authority in the land throws down the gantlet and insults us. Let us take up the challenge, no matter who it may be who casts this mud at us. He is incapable cf touching us, for we are above his insults.” After referring to remarks that had recently been made to Emperor William, Herr Liebknecht continued; “The German Empire would first collapse, but Socialism would triumph. A violation of universal suffrage will be equivalent to the death warrant of the imperial government. The party can now defy defeat, no matter how many bayonets are at the disposal of those who wish for a trial of strength.” FIENDISH SHEPHERD. French “Jack the Ripper” Confesses to Horrible Crimes.

ATKINSON’S STORY. "Wife of West Virginia's Governor on the Witness Stand. GLENVILLE. W. Va.. Oct. 12.-The examination in chief cf Mrs. Atkinson, who was placed on the stand in her own behalf last night, was continued until a late hour. She resumed the stand this morning and again took up the thread of her life’s story. She was married to Judge Camden in 1883, and up until the time of his death he required her constant care and attention. She stated that during all this time she had aided him in the transaction of his business and especially had she been of efficient service to him in a clerical way. She had written letters, papers and receipts for him, and had signed his name to them with her own underneath, but always with his authority and at his dictation. She denied in toto the material allegations of the State and stated emphatically that she had never signed Judge Camden's name to any papers after his death. All receipts and paP rs here produced by the prosecution and filed as evidence in this case and which bear the signature, ‘G. D. Camden, per Mrs. G. D. Camden,” were written and signed prior to the death of Judge Camden and with his consent, by his authority and by his directions. The Owens receipt which, in this case, she is charged with forging, is genuine, and was written by her under the direction of Judge Camden. Mrs. Atkinson gave her testimony in a low but distinct voice and every word could be heard plainly by the jury. The strain of the trial seems to be telling on her. On the stand this morning she said: “I will tell all that is necessary, but I am very tired.” The court has been in session about ten hours each day since the opening of thp case, eleven days ago. About noon tne examination in chief was completed and cross-ex-amination by R. G. Linn for the prosecution began. SPAIN’S COMING REPLY TO MINISTER WOODFORD'S NOTE ON THE CUBAN QUESTION. Don* Hope to Soon Conquer the Infcurgent.H, but Are Unable to Exactly Fix the Date. MADRID, Oct. 12.—1 tis seml-offlcially announced that the reply of Spain to the note presented by the United States minister, Gen. Stewart L. Woodford, has been drafted by the minister of foreign affairs, Senor Gullon, and will be submitted to the Cabinet at its meeting to-morrow 1 . The reply, it is stated, will say that Spain is unable to fix exactly the date when the war will be over, but the ministers are persuaded it will not be long, because “the situation of the rebels is criiical and the efforts of the Spanish troops are sure of success.” Owing to the rebel situation and concession of autonomy, administrative and economic, which will be effective before January, the government hopes actual hostilities will finish shortly. Spain, it is continued, thinks the reforms and the activity of the Spanish troops are sufflceint elements to secure the immediate pacification of the island, which, it is asserted, “would have i -en more rapid if the rebels had not had the succor of filibusters, who under the shelter of the American flag have contributed to maintain this state of affairs.” The government has decided that Gen. Primo de Rivera is to retain command in the Philippine islands, In order that he may initiate the proposed reforms and reorganize that colony. A semi-official statement, issued after the Cabinet meeting yesterday, says that by employing native volunteers in Cuba, instead of European troops, the expenses of the campaign would decrease and the operations against the insurgents would be conducted more rapidly. Senor Gullon, the minister for foreign affairs, has communicated to his colleagues the views of the European and American press in regard to the new Ministry, pointing out that the foreign newspapers are almost unanimously of the opinion that the programme of Senor Sagasta, the new premier of Spain, has caused an important change in the attitude of the Washington Cabinet, leading to the belief that the discussion of the Cuban question will now enter on a more favorable phase. The minister for the colonies, Senor Moret, announced at the Cabinet meeting that with a view’ to proving the sincerity of the government’s purpose to grant autonomy to Cuba, he had telegraphed to Senor Montoro, the leader of the party, asking him to nominate candidates for appointments for some of the important posts under the Cuban administration Woodford Received by the Queen. MADRID, Oct. 12.—United States Minister Woodford was received in audience by the Queen Regent this afternoon The reception was of the most cordial character. A private cable message from Washington declares that "President McKinley will s endeavor to induce the insurgents to accept autonomy, and |f they refuse he will do his utmost to put an end to agitation and to prevent filibustering, as he believes now that Captain General Weyler is recalled Congress will support this policy.” Senorita Cosmlo at New York. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—1 t was said at the Cuban Junto here to-day that Senorita Evangelina Cossio, the Cuban girl who recently escaped from prison in Havana, will make her bow before a New York public some time to-morrow. “The senorita is in the hands of her friends,” said an official of the Cuban delegation, “and if all goes well she will hold a reception in this city to-morrow. The time and place have not yet been selected.”

RED TAPE DISCARDED. Prompt Investigation of the Alleged Outrage at Fort Sheridan. CHICAGO, Oct. 12.—The finding of an in<quiry ordered by the Department of War into the case of Captain Lovering, of Fort Sheridan, has been telegraphed to Washington. For dispatch, it is said, military annals furnish few parallels to the Lovering inquiry. It was begun late yesterday by order of Secretary Alger in a telegram to Major General Brooke. The latter directed Captain Richards to proceed to Fort Sheridan at once, and within ten minutes after the receipt of the telegram from Washington the department inquiry was in process of organization. The charge of brutality was the subject matter of investigation. The witnesses, six in number, were told first that their testimony was to be in secret to all other than the military authorities taking part in the hearing. Then they tvere called upon to give all the facts o? the alleged brutality perpetrated by Captain Lovering on Private Charles Hammond. Civil Philanthropic Congress.

NEW YORK MAYORALTY SOCIALIST LABOR PARTY'S CANDIDATE OPENS HIS CAMPAIGN. ♦ Red Flags and n Big Audience—Nomination for ( on t roller on the George Ticket Declined by Col. Waring. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Eucien Saniel, the Socialist Labor candidate for the office of mayor, opened his campaign at Cooper Union to-night. In the large- crop of mayoralty candidates Mr. Saniel has been almost lost sight of, yet he attracted a bigger meeting than that which ratified the nomination of General Tracy, as big as that addressed by Seth Low’ last Thursday night, and almost as large as the one which nominated Henry George. Mr. Saniel is a Frenchman who writes some cutting things in English, but his oiatory is not effective, because he has not mastered the pronunciation of the language he writes so well. The platform was decorated with red flags. There was a band and about as much enthusiasm as marks the average political gathering. The people gave expression to their displeasure by hissing the mention of the name of capitalists. Saniel bitterly assailed the other candidates for mayor, Henry George faring no better than the rest. Daniel De Leon also addressed the meeting. There were overflow meetings on the outside which were addressed by a number of Socialist orators. LEGISLATIVE TICKET. Candidates Nomtnnted by Cincinnati Kepublicunn mid Democrats. CINCINNATI, Oct 12.—Both the Republicans and Democrats held county conventions to-day to nominate candidates for the Legislature and county offices. The Republicans nominated the following legislative ticket: Senators—Sidney D. Maxwell, Samuel T. Harris, Charles Kuhl, William H. Lewis. Representatives—E. V. Cherry, Robert W. Tilney, W. H. Luebbert, Nicholas Longworth, Charles A. Bosworth, George W. Hays, Joseph C. Butler, Griffltn C. Little, L. C. Rose, Alfred M. Allen. The Democratic convention was late in concluding its work, owing to much time being taken up in conference with the independent Republican convention for the purpose of agreeing on a fusion ticket. The latter convention was allowed nine candidates—five on the legislative ticket and four on the county ticket. The legislative ticket indorsed by both conventions is: Senators—C. D. Robertson, Alfred M. Cohen and John W. Harper, Democrats; Lewis Voight, Republican. Representatives—Ernest H. Rothe, Chas. L. Swayne, Henry Haters, George H. Spellmyer, W. J. O’Neill and Charles Monter, Democrats; W. R. Rane, John C. Otis, Frank H. Kemper and Charles F. Droste, Republicans. Unusual interest attaches to the legislative ticket, because the result in Hamilton county will affect very strongly the political complexion of the Legislature and the election of United States senator. Declined by Colonel Waring. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—The cretiflcates placing Henry George in nomination for mayor, Col. George E. Waring, jr., for controller, and Jerome O’Neill for president of the Council, were filed with the election bureau to-day. The certificates bore the signatures of 2,872 petitioners. Certificates of the county and judiciary nominees of the Citizens’ Union were also filed. The nominations w r ere made by the Thomas Jefferson Democracy. Tom L. Johnson, who filed the certificates, was asked whether Colonel Wearing had accepted. "He is nominated and the certificate is filed. Whether he will accept or not is a matter for the future to decide,” was Mr. Johnson’s reply. This afternoon Colonel Waring answered the inquiry himself by declining the nomination. In his letter he says: ”1 thank the party for the honor done me, but I cannot accept the nomination for the office of controller. I am very sorry I was not consulted about It before your action was taken. I should have told you that I would not give up. for the sake of becoming controller of Greater New York, the hope of continuing to direct the operations of the department of street cleaning until the plans now in hand for its improvement shall have been carried to completion.” Boles on tbe Financial Question. DES MOINES, la., Oct. 12.—Ex-Governor Boies has written a letter to the Leader on the subject of “Eullion as a Basis of National Currency.” At the outset he asks the questions: “Is gold and silver bullion for money; Is it practicable? Can they be made an invariable double standard for the measurement of values?” He answers these questions in the affirmative, and says that Windom suggested the basis of the plan which he elaborates. He concludes his letter thus: “It is said no plan of that character would be in accordance With the Chicago platform. That is true, but the Chicago platform has had its day in court before the tribunal of last resort. Must Democrats, to be loyal, adhere to it forever? The objection is at variance w’ith the whole theory of our form of government. If valid election w’ould settle nothing, majorities w’ould cease to rule and when a political Issue was once joined the warfare over it would go on until one or the other of the parties to it was totally annihilated.”

W. C. TEMPLE DISSATISFIED. Nut ion nl League Cup Series of Ball Games May Be Abolished. PITTSBURG, Pa.. Oct. 12.—The Temple cup series in the National League may be contested no more. W. C. Temple, of Pittsburg, who presented the magnificent silver trophy to the League, is dissatisfied with this year's contest. He declares he will attend the League meeting in November and request that the cup be returned to its donor. “I will also,” said Mr. Temple, “ask that the League investigate the charges that tbe Baltimore and Boston players this year agreed to an equal division of the receipts in face of the League's explicit conditions about 60 per cent to the winner and 40 per cent, to the loser. These rumors have been very annoying to me, and if proved true I will ask that the offenders be blacklisted. The cup was offered to benefit the game generally and to develop a fast series. This year’s has not been such.” “Closed for Liquidation.” ASHEVILLE, N. C„ Oct. 12,-When the First National Bank failed, on July 30, many depositors in the Western Carolina Bank endeavored to draw out their funds.
