Grand—“A Secret Warrant.” There is no warrant for making public ‘‘A Secret Warrant” which Robert Mantell presented at the Grand last night to a fairsized audience. It is described on the programme as “a romantic drama in four acts, suggested by an episode in French history.” There is little more than this episode in the entire play and when an episode is dragged out for four acts without skirt dances, whistling specialties or a horizontal bar performance to relieve the monotony it is asking a trille too much. The episode itself is not worth relating. The play abounds in long and decidedly commonplace dialogue and is so devoid of action that one wonders at times why the actors do not yawn for very lack of anything to keep them awake. The only thing approaching an exciting scene for Mr. Mantell is a little Bword play In the last act. This is a fencing bout with a friend and an intoxicated friend at that, the latter being at such a manifest disadvantage that the admirers of Mantell felt he had descended somewhat from his lofty ground of' fighting for honor and women. The play reeks with old stereotyped lines as: “Go, guh-oh and—uh leave me;” “think-a-well, before you decide;” “I will play this game to the end. I will fight It out for me honor and the weman I love.” Truly, there is absolutely nothing in “A Secret Warrant” for Mr. Mantell, and it was only by the greatest effort that he was able to force, at rare intervals, a sign of applause from the audience. The company is likewise handicapped for lack of opportunity. There is a redeeming bit of coloring in the role of the regent’s favorite played by Nina Morris, an Eastern girl who is new in the West, but who fits the part as if born for It. The advance notices of Mr. Mantell’s new play contained the following: “Never has this remarkable actor had a character more picturesquely powerful than this, and never has he appeared In a play of such continuous and unflagging interest.” It might be added that never was Mantell given such a worthless role since he became a star, and the play drags like a funeral procession. While the production is beautifully costumed, it is given without any special scenic investiture, and all in all is wholly unworthy of Robert Manteli’s talent. Pork—‘‘Th Prodigal Father.” Few specialties in farce-comedies are more laughable than the act of Rose Melville in “The Prodigal Father,” now at the Park Theater. Miss Melville appears In the play as Dollle Bond, who is supposed to he a dashing sesrio-eomic. This character she sustains well, both in looks arid action, throughout the three acts. In her “specialty,” which comes just before the close of the performance, Miss Melville transforms herself into certainly the “jayest” girl ever seen on the stage. She puts in ten minutes posing as “Sis Hopkins from Slab Hollow,” and during that time keeps the audience in a roar of laughter. She portrays a type rarely seen on the stage, possibly for the reason that Miss Melville has had the specialty copyrighted and, therefore, it cannot be worn threadbare by imitators. The only time anything approaching It was ever seen here was by Louise Alien Collier, in "1492.” She gave something similar, though not nearly as long or as good us the copyrighted act of Miss Melville. Another good thing in "The Prodigal Father” is Dave Hatpin's “dancing tramp, ’ a very clever performance. George Spinks’s monologue, with the aid of some unique piano playing, catches the audience every time. Lynn Welcher and Jules Garrison, tne latter assisted hy Ella Garrison, aid very materially in entertaining. The travesties of the Garrisons are exceptionally good and up to date. Bella Gold sings several parodies and Marbelle Davies docs some very pretty toe dancing. There are other specialties in "The Prodigal Father" which, all in all, make it an exceedingly bright performance. The story of the comedy—that of an old man telling fairy stories about a supposed trip to Africa—is familiar to theater-goers here. It leads to many complications and is the basis of a great deal of clean comedy. "The Pro*!!gal Father" will be seen to-uuy and to-morrow. Morrison’s “Faust" comes’Monday for a week’s stay. Empire—Kent s-Sant ley. The Rentz-Santley Company, which opened at the Empire yesterday, to remain the rest of this week, presents a moderately fair vaudeville bill and two burlesques. The acrobatic turn of Maud Caswell and Arthur Arnold was properly billed as the feature of the show. They gave a very clever and in some respects novel exhibition of high kicking, tumbling and the like. The olio is a long one and includes, beside Caswell and Arnold, Edwards and Neilson, in a "family row” sketch; the Sisters Esher; Miles and Ireland, Celtic comedians; Walsh Sisters, duetists; St. Clair and Loreno, comedy sketch; Gallagher and Barrett, character comedians. Flynn Sheridan's Big Sensation double show will open next week. It is composed of twentv whites and fifteen Creoles, introducing a double olio and two new burlesques. The costumes, scenery, electrical and mechanical effects are said to be elaborate. Barrymore In “A Ward of France.” SCRANTON, Pa., Oct. 14.—The initial performance of Klaw & Erlanger’s romantic ard melodramatic play, "A Ward of France." was given here to-night in the Lyceum Theater. The play and the players scored a success. It is a radical departure from similar productions in that the scene Is laid in New < >rleans, a century ago. and It has the coloring of romance and strife of modern dramas. Barrymore, as a pirate, is the central figure, and he scored a decided hit. Frederick Warde'i Hew Piny. LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 14.-Frederiok Warde gave the first production of “Iskander,” anew historical drama, at Fulton Opera House, this city, to-night. It made a hit from the outset. The play deals with •n episode of the warfare between the Cross s.nd Crescent early in the fifteenth century,

and presents many opportunities for scenic and theatrical effects that were employed to excellent advantage. All** .lolinMon Given I p the Stage. Special to the Indtanaiwlls Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Oct. 14.—Miss Helen Underwood Johnson, daughter of Representative and Mrs. Henry U. Johnson, has given up the stage and returned to her home here, owing to ill health. Miss Johnson, whose stage name was Helen Underwood, has been making speciul preparation for a theatrical career and had a promising future, being an understudy for Ada Rohan. Writs Served on John L. Sullivan. PROVIDENCE. R. 1., Oct. 14.—Three writs have been served upon John L. Sullivan, who is playing at a local theater. One was $5,000 damages for alleged assault upon Frank V. Dunn, of Boston, his manager. and the second was for $2,600 for alleged debt to Mr. Dunn. The third was for $2,000 damages for alleged trover and conversion. Bail was furnished. Hotes of the Stage. The interest in the Seidl concert at Tomlinson Hall next Thursday is universal in musical circles. The matinee programme includes selections by Liszt, Mendelssohn, Bach, Grieg, Humperdlnk, Wagner, Schumann and Moszkowski—a wide range of music. Madame Rive-King will be heard in Saint Saens’s Concerto in C Minor. Her fame as a pianist is world wide. The evening programme will comprise some of the greatest works of Wagner, Dvorak, Berlioz and Rubinstein. Seats can be secured now at the Pembroke. The new management of English’s Theater announces that Mr. John Harrison, of this city, will be the local press agent. The new’ English's will open Oct. 25, with Klaw & Erlanger’s great spectacular production "Jack and the Beanstalk,” an extravaganza which has broken all records since its production. The company is a monster, carrying all told 102 people. The expense of “Jack and the Beanstalk” is said to be so heavy that the company makes no stop lese than a week and "Jack" will therefore remain at English’s all of the opening week. A special scene is carried for Champion Fitzsimmons’s exhibitions—being a faithful reproduction of the famous Carson City amphitheater in miniature. In his illustrated boxing bout with Mike Conley, he champion will reproduce the thirteenth and fourteenth rounds of the contest which made him the world’s champion, including a correct demonstration of just how he landed Ijis now celebrated "solar plexus” blow that finished Corbett. Fitz will be at the Grand the first four days of next week with his own vaudeville and athletic company. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mr. and Mrs. E. S. R. Seguln went to New York yesterday to spend a week.

Thermometer Readied 80 Degrees— Summer Garments Brought Out Again—Temperature Elsewhere. Yesterday was proclaimed, by the oldest inhabitants, as the hottest October day within their recollection, and the Weather Bureau statistics almost bear them out. Only one October day during the last twen-ty-seven years has been warmer, according to the Weather Bureau reports, and that was earlier in the month. On Oct. 2, 1884, the maximum temperature recorded was 87. The high mark yesterday was 86. The bright, warm day brought a redivivus of summer garments, and on the. bicycle again appeared the girl in the shirt waist. Light coats were donned by the men, while many vehicle drivers and street laborers went about their work in their shirtsleeves. Even after dusk, front doors in the residence districts swung wide and people went back to the porches again. Bicycling to the country was in vogue yesterday, the roads having improved some over their dusty condition rs ten days ago. The Weather Bureau officials predict fair weather for to-day. By Saturday night there will probably be a slight fall in the temperature. The warm weather is general east of the Mississippi, but in the Northwest it is cooler, a slight snow having fallen in North Dakota. Up in the Northwest territory of Canada the thermometer yesterday was as low as 8 degrees above zero. At Helena, Mont., it was below the freezing point. At New Orleans, where the yellow fever is prevailing, it was not as warm at any time as in Indianapolis. In Omaha the thermometer touched 90 degrees. In Jacksonville, Fla., it was two degrees cooler than in Indianapolis. Au Extensive Hot Wave. CHICAGO, Oct. 14.—A hot wave of unusual severity is reported throughout the West and Northwest. Omaha had the most uncomfortable temperature to-day, the mercury climbing to ninety in the shade, which is a record for the month of October. Dubuque, la., also came to the front with a demolished record, the thermometer there showing 86 in the shade—the warmest ever known at this time of the year at that point. All through the State of lowa the heat is reported as excessive. Des Moines reports 88, Davenport 86, and other places announced a temperature as uncomfortable as that of these three cities. The heat at all points was increased by a strong south to southeast wind, which felt as though it came directly f rom a furnace. Out in Kansas. Concordia was the warm spot. 90 degrees being reached. Dodge, usually well to the front in matters Os this kind, was well up with a hot wind and 88 degrees in the shade. Kansas City sweltered with a temperature of 86 degrees and the prevailing south wind. Chicago came near to its hot record for October with a temperature of 88 in the Weather Office, which is 90 on the street level. One October day. long ago, the mercury reached 91 and that is the record. The coolest place in the reach of the weather man’s eye was Calgary, in the Northwest Territory, where it was. he said, 18 above zero. He “had hopes” that some of this would come into the Northwestern States by and by. He did not know when but he “hoped by and by.” Snotvutonii in Idaho.

Martinsville Republican. At the last session of the County Commissioners’ court in Hendricks county applications for saloon licenses were presented from Brownsburg, and were granted.. For thirty-nine years and over ■that county has been without saloons and the granting of licensee has caused some person to write a reminiscence of the last saloon for the Danville Republican. We present the article: “There was no formal celebration of Washington’s birthday in Danville In 1859. There was considerable drinking and men rode through the muddy streets in the rain, swearing and whooping like Indians on the war path. The Belvedere saloon, located on Main street opposite the present location of the Republican office, was the only licensed saloon in the county, and it did a wide open business and was the headquarters of a gang of fellows who that day laid their patriotism and manhood on the altar of Bacchus and defied the town. One garrulous ’face maker,’ whose bloated cheeks rose and fell like a blacksmith s bellows being worked in the interest of a ‘heavy heat,’ declared that the temperance question in Hendricks counjy had reached a crisis: that the time had arrived when every cross roads should have a licensed saloon, and to demonstrate he had the courage of his convictions he offered to fight any temperance man in town who dared to open his mouth. "It is true a crisis had arrived, but the free whisky orator little dreamed as he rode to his home near Brownsburg over the corduroy road through the elm sloughs that evening 1 that he had taken his last drink over the bar of the Belvedere, or that he would live long and die sober of old age without seeing another licensed saloon In Hendricks county. But it all came to pass. “A few minutes before midnight of that day, a mob of Danville Academy students reinforced by ‘town boys’ lined up in front of the Belvedere. Lights were burning in the saloon. The bartenders were on guard with shotguns. The ‘bombardment’ opened with a battering ram charge which shivered the front door into pieces, and stones demolished the entire front of the building. A detachment in the alley threw cordwood through the side windows, bringing ruin to the decanters, glasses and other fixtures, covering up the bartenders, who were crouched under the counter, with wreckage and cordwood. "When their work was completed the crowd broke and fled In every direction under cover of the durkness. The proprietor of the saloon came out of his house, near by, and fired a double-barreled shotgun into the alley, but, as luck would have it. none of the boys w’ere there, and he succeeded only in killing one of his own hogs. Then the saloon gang went to the academy and stoned the building, breaking out S6O worth of glass and doing much other damage. "Next day large posters were circulated, with the headline, ‘Whisky or No Whisky,’ and calling upon the citizens to meet it in the courtroom. Everybody attended the meeting—preachers, lawyers, doctors, rioters and all. Speeches were made by Colonel Nave, Peter S. Kennedy and many others, denouncing both whisky and mob violence. A committee of citizens was appointed and instructed to visit the proprietor of the Belvedere and request him to go out of the liquor business. The result was-he promised to close his place, and lie kept liis word. "The temperance banner hoisted that day bore the inscription, ‘Thirty-nine years without a licensed saloon,* until it was dragged in the mud by the Brownsburg applicants.” GREAT OCEAN RACE. The Tacoma, ami Indiana Sturt on a 10.000-Mtle Trip. Philadelphia Press. When the two American clipper ships, Tacoma, Captain Gaffrey, and Indiana, Captain Colley, sailed out of the Delaware breakwater at 4:23 o’clock yesterday afternoon, both from Philadelphia, the former for Tacoma and Seattle and the latter for San Francisco, there was begun a 19,099mile race, the outcome of which will be awaited with the greatest interest, as there is no small amount of money at stake on the result. Possibly no one has greater interest in this race than the late candidate for A r ice President, Arthur Sewall, who Ls the sole owner of the Indiana, which has traded around the dangerous Cape Horn for over twenty-one years. No rairer start was ever had by two merchantmen than when these two ships weighed anchors and passed out of the breakwater into the open sea, side by side. There was only a light air blowing from the southwest at the time, and both hand-somely-sparred ships held each other in close proximity until veiled by nightfall. Between the masters of these ships there has been much discussion as to their respective sailing qualities, and each agreed to deposit a sum of money to go to the winning ship after time and distance allowanees shall have been made to the one going to the more northern port. Captain Colley assured Air. Sewall Saturday that he would win the race and preserve for him, the largest American ship owner in America, the credit of having the most speedy vessels afloat. It will be a long and exciting time for both 1 skippers before they shall know which has made the quicker run. as it is not at all unlikely they will lose sight of each other, perhaps, before they shall have “run their lasting down.” Old salts yesterday favored Mr. Sewall’s ship. She is known to be a smart sailer. The Tacoma, however, is not without friends, and Captain Gaffrey, her master, was being highly praised for the great passages lie had made in times gone by. She came from the Philippine islands to Philadelphia, last voyage, in 120 days, while the British ship John McLeod. Captain Stewart. was 154 days on the same voyage. Tt is calculated that the Indiana should reach San Francisco in 120 days. The Tacoma was built in Bath in 1881, is 1.672 tons register and owned by Charles Davenport, of Bath, while the Indiana Is 1.488 tons register and was built in tsTO. Mr. Sewall looks uj>on her as one of his best craft, despite her age. I'wefaL Philadelphia Times. No doubt, the bicycle will prove a useful military adjunct.

A HOST OF CHRISTIANS SEVERAL THOUSAND VISITORS TO MISSIONARY CONVENTIONS. ♦ - Reception to Delegate* at Central Christian Church Lust Night—At Least a,500 Expected. The delegates to the missionary conventions of the Christian Church began to arrive in large numbers yesterday, and although there were no excursion specials, yet every train brought in large-sized parties from the most distant as well as nearby points. Cheap rates prevailed on all railroads, and the gathering may bring three or four thousand strangers to the city. As fast as the delegates arrived they were escorted to the English Lutheran Church, which is used as headquarters by the reception and assignment committees. The lecture rooms of the church were filled all afternoon by a busy throng, and as speedily as possible the visitors were registered and taken to the homes thrown open to them by the members of the local Christian congregations. Accommodations for 1,500 have thus been provided, and the committee states that these accommodations have already been exhausted or nearly so. A large number of the incoming visitors have engaged quarters at the Denison, Grand and other hotels, and It is confidently expected that at least 2,500 members of the church will be in attendance at the different conventions. This attendance will be by far the largest in the history of the church. The greater portion of the visitors now arriving are members of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, or the C. W. B. M., as it is usually called. The ladies come from nearly all the States In the Union, most of them being state or national officers of the organization. They readily adapted themselves to their new environment and enthusiastically entered upon the work and pleasure of the week before them. The annual reception extended to visiting delegates in the evening was a success. The Central Christian Church, where the reception was held, was crowded to the doors, and hundreds could not obtain entrance. The auditorium and Sunday school rooms were thrown into one and when as many as possible entered the church the place was so jammed that to move around was quite impossible. This somewhat interfered with the purposes of the gathering, that of becoming generally acquainted and bringing together the visitors and their hosts. The beauty of the church was enhanced by liberal decorations of autumn leaves and golden rod, while prominently displayed was the C. W. B. M. motto: “The Love of Christ Constraineth Us.” Dr. D. R. Lucas opened the social by mounting the pulpit platform and commencing - to sing “Bring Forth the Royal Diadem.” Within a few minutes every seat was occupied and the great audience was singing the familiar hymn with enthusiastic spirit. Dr. Lucas introduced Rev. Burris A. Jenkins, the chairman of the local executive committee, so that everybody might know him. and then performed the same function with respect to Mrs. O. A. Burgess, the president of the C. W. B. M. MRS. BURGESS’S WELCOME. Mrs. Burgess made a neat speech of welcome to the visitors. She was particular to state that there w - as nothing formal about the meeting, it being intended simply for handshaking and the extending of mutual greetings. She said: “My heart is so full that 1 can scarcely summon words to bid you welcome, welcome to our beautiful city and also to our headquarters on Delaware street. Although our homes may not be as large as some in other cities, yet we have many of them and we will try our best td entertain you. If you find that you are a little crowded in the places where you are assigned, we know that you will make allowances.” The speaker then briefly reviewed the programme for to-day. “Brother” Jenkins, as Dr. Lucas called him, was the next to make a brief expression of welcome. “Our hearts and homes are open to you,’’ he said. “Indianapolis may not be a diamond in the sky, but she is like a spider web and we now have you in our meshes and you can’t get away. We have assigned 1,000 visitors to various homes so far and as this exceeds all expectations and is over double the assignment at any previous convention, you will have to bear with us if the accommodations are not as commodious as they might be and if any mistakes occur. Mistakes must happen and we ask that you will make the best of it.” Mr. Jenkins also urged the members of the local organizations to come to the relief of the committee and extend the number of accommodations at the service of delegates. “We are simply overwhelmed,” said he “and heaven only knows where we are going to put them all.” Dr. Lucas then announced that the meeting was for the purpose of getting acquainted, and of introducing the visitors to their hosts for the next week. “We don’t want any delegate,” he said, “to get lost and not know where he is going. If you are wandering around the streets late at night the police will look you up and wo centainly don’t want you to wind up in the lockup.” The hymn. “Praise God from Whom all Blessings Flow,” was then sung and the social proper began. The words of Dr. Lucas about the lockup were facetiously commented upon, but how the various hosts were to discover their guests in such an unwieldy crowd was a conundrum that nobody seemed able to solve. The local people all wore red badges and they were besieged on various sides for introductions to this person and that, but as locomotion was difficult very little headway could be made. The result was that the page boys, of whom there are about fifty, had their hands full taking the visitors to their homes and while the evening was highly enjoyable manv of the hosts and hostesses failed to meet their guests until they were brought to their homes during the night. Taking all things into consideration, however there was much less trouble than might have been expected and the members of the local committees performed their work excellently. The reception was characterized by/a general lack of restraint, and every one seemed anxious to engage his neighbors in sprightly conversation. As many acquaintances were made as possible, and the prominent personages were centers of compact masses who wanted to shake their hands. All evening people kept coining in droves to the church while as many were constantly leaving it. It was one of the most successful church socials ever held In the city and it was a late hour before it was ended. AT ENGLISH LUTHERAN CHURCH. The lecture rooms of the English Lutheran Church a block away were also crowded all evening. Here was the registering and assignment committee headquarters, as well as a general information bureau. The number of registrations during the evening reached about six hundred. The Denison received about fifty delegates in the evening and the Grand and other hotels also have a number of them. Many of the visitors are not expected to arrive until to-day or to-morrow. SOME PERSONAL MENTION. Hit* of History About a Few of the Visitor*.

Butler College extends an Invitation to all the delegates to visit the institution, which is one of the best of the Christian colleges in the country. Army Discipline. Detroit Free Press. The alleged brutal treatment of a private soldier at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago, has created the stir that it has from the fact that such instances of ferocity on the part of officers in dealing with the soldiers are most uncommon in the army to-day. Aa a general thing good feeling exists between the officers and their men, and their relations are uniformly agreeable. The old Idea that a commander must be a terror to inspire obedience and secure good discipline has largely disappeared, arid it la demonstrated at every post in the country to-day that the more considerate and selfcontrolled method of handling the regulars counts Immeasurably for the good of the service. Evidently the officers at Fort Sheridan had an obdurate and Insubordinate subject to deal with and the story of his ill treatment may have been greatly overdrawn. The matter will be investigated, without doubt, and If the captain who ordered the prisoner to be dragged from the guardhouse to headquarters is found guilty of using severer means than the case required, he will be dealt with accordingly. The department commander can be depended upon to take such action as will be necessary to preserve the reputation the army enjoys of employing reasonable and intelligent methods In enforcing discipline. Senator Hanna, of Ohio, and Charles Emery Smith, of Philadelphia, were elected members of the New York Union League Club last night. Thin in flesh? Perhaps it** natural.
