GREAT FESTIVAL STARS c " '• - * r • ' • " # OFFICIAL ANSOI’NCEMENT BY THE HOARD OF DIRECTORS. - ■ ♦ Vnaye, Violinist, Heads the List of the High-Priced Folks—Emma Jack Engaged. f > The artists engaged for the coming May Music Festival, the dates of which are May i, 6, 6 and 7, four night and one afternoon concerts, as announced by the directors yesterday, make an array of celebrities. The engagements made this year are In pursuance of the policy adopted by the board and advocated by Mr. Van der Stucken of securing the best artists obtainable for the great choral works to be presented, with a view of their special capabilities for the parts to be presented by them. The directors have had considerable difficulty in engaging the people they wanted, as a number of artists now singing in this country are going abroad for the operatic season in London early in the season. It was only by offering special inducements that two of the great singers, Mme. Gadski and David Bispham, were influenced to remain in this country long enough to sing at the Indianapolis Festival and like entertainments in other cities. The Indianapolis Festival has made such a reputation in the last few years that singers and instrumentalists are most anxious jtp appear here. The services of mady artists, of greater or less celebrity, were offered the local directors, but the engagements were made with extreme care. The result is that for this festival, and those at Cincinnati, Louisville and the New England cities, the artists engaged are practically the same, for ihe very good reason that they are the best that can be obtained. Most of them who will sing here are new r to Indianapolis audiences, an additional reason for their engagement. Particular care was exercised in selecting artists for Benoit’s great work, "Lucifer,” which will be given the first night of the festival, for It requires five thoroughly capable soloists, In addition to the final chorus of 400 adult voices and the children’s chorus. THE LIST OF ARTISTS. The artists engaged are as follows: Ysaye, famous Belgian violinist. Sopranos—Mme. Johanna Gadski, of the Damrosch-Ellis Grand Opera Company, and Miss Emma Jueh. Contralto —Mme. Josephine S. Jacoby. Baritones—Mr. David Bispham, of the Damrosch-Ellis Company, and Mr. Paul Haase. Tenor—Mr. George Hamlin. Basso—Mr. Carl E. Dufft. Ysaye weus engaged as a special attraction for the last concert of the series. The directors received many requests that he be secured, for he is such a high-priced artist that he could not be engaged to appear in Indianapolis, except at a festival. People who are well informed in musical affairs need not be told about Ysaye, for his playing has been the sensation of two continents. That he is the greatest living violinist is conceded by the critics, and his work is characterized by that personal magnetism which arouses his hearers to the wildest enthusiasm. Ysaye was born in 1858 at Liege—therefore, is a Belgian. He is touring in America, South America and Australia, preparatory to settling down in San Francisco for a five years’ contract to open a conservatory, should he accept. In his conservatory at Brussels he gives private lessons to the more advanced pupils, th© lower grade scholars taking from the “eleves,” as they are called (his more finished pupils.) Ysaye possesses two magnificent “Strads,” which he keeps in silk American flags. He was a pupil of Vieuxtemps and Wieniawskl. He was absolutely wrapped up in the forr mer. His life interest seemed to be centered In. his orchestra of seventy-five chosen men. Nearly of these were or are his pupils, reKeargfng ofteii, always under his leadership. To this orchestra he is so devoted that all else is second in Importance to it. Regular, concerts of the highest class of music are given every little while, which are crowded to the doors. These concerts are known as “The Concerts Ysaye.” During his present tour of America Ysaye has drawn enormous audiences, at the great Metropolitan Opera House in New York, the Auditorium in Chicago, and other cities. Ha gets SI,OOO a night for his services.

MME. GADSKI’S HISTORY. Mme. Johanna Gadski, who to-day maintains an enviable reputation in the foremost rank of younger German dramatic singers, was born at Auklam, in Pomerania, June 15, 1872. She was educated at Stettin, where she studied with Frau SchroederChalonpkir. She made her first appearance on the stage at Kroll’s, Berlin, in May, 1891, as Pamlna in “The Magic Flute.” She also sang there in July of the same year in V. Holstein’s new opera, “Der Haideschacht.” In 1592 (May) she was again at Kroll’s, when Otto Lessmann thus spoke of her as Anna (“Hens Heiling”): “She delights by her youthful, fresh, yet fully ripened voice, her temperamental delivery, her lively and characteristic acting.” She appeared in other parts that year, as Anna in “The Merry Wives of Windsor.” Pamina, Elvira ("Don Giovanni”), the Baroness (“Wildschutz”) Anna. In 1893 (February) she again appeared at Kroll’e Theater in “Der Wilde Jaeger.” Early in 1894 she joined the opera company at Bremen. She sang Marie in “Die Verkaufte Braut” Feb. 2, Bedura in D’Albert’s first opera. “Der Rubin,” April 18 under the leadership of the composer. In May. 1594, she was announced to appear as Elizabeth (“Tannhauser”) at Bayreuth and also as one of the solo flower maidens in “Parsifal.” but she was taken sick and was obliged to give up the engagement. The season of 1894-95 she joined the Dararosch German Opera Company. Her first appearance in New York was March 1, 1895, as Elsa. Her first appearance in Boston was April 2, 1895, in the same part. The season of 1595-90 she w-us again a most important member of Mr. Damrosch’s company. At Boston Feb. 10, 1896, she created the part of Hester Prynne in Mr. Damroseh’s “Scarlet Letter." She was with Mr. Damrosch for the third season, 1896-97. Her Senta Ui "The Flying Dutchman” was a delightful charming In its simplicity, girlish, romantic sentiment, and suddenly aroused womanly devotion. Equally memorable for its sweetness of affection was her Micaela in “Carmen.” She also sang Pamina. This year she is dividing the prim a donna foies in the Damrosch-EUis company with Mme. Nordlca. MISS JUCH A FAVORITE. Miss Emma Juch needs no introduction to the musical people of Indianapolis, for she has sung here several times in opera and at two festivals. She retired from the concert platform when she was married three years ago, but has resumed her work this year, with great success. Mr. Van der Stucken heard her sing recently in New York, and telegraphed the directors to engage her for the soprano role in “Lucifer” and for arias in a miscellaneous concert, as she was singing better than ever before. Miss Juch is undoubtedly the most capable and versatil* woman for festival work in America. She sings dramatic and lyric roles equally well, and is unsurpassed in arias. She has many admirers in Indianapolis, who will be glad to hear that she has been engaged for the festival, T . . . .. Mme. Josephine Jacoby was born in the citv of New York twenty-five years ago, and received her musical education from the best teachers the metropolis contains. In her case the results of a purely American musical education aro eminently illustrated, for her success as a contralto has been pronounced and unequivocal. In addition to heir recent, repeated appearances at the Metropolitan Opera House Sundaynight concerts, so popular in New York. Mme Jacoby has this season appeared at the Soldi concerts In New York, the Theodore Thomas orchestra concerts, Chicago; the Pittsburg symphony concerts, under Frederic Archer; the Cincinnati symphony concerts, under Mr. Van der Stucken; the Damrosch concerts, in New York; the AriOn concerts, -at Providence, under Jules Jordan; the Philharmonic concerts of Montnal; the performances in Now York and Brooklyn of "The Messiah.” “Elijah." ”Bt. Paul” and other oratorios, and the cantatas “Armlnius,” “The Sw-an and the Skylark” and other secular works. The particular force of Mme. Jacoby's work in concentrated in declamatory and lyric vopal compositions of larger dimensions, such us oratorio, cantata. German lleder and arias. Her voice Is a powerful, rotund contralto of warm and sympathetic quality “and of unusual compass. Her interpretation w broad and comprehensive, and 1* ampUfled

by a musical temperament that enables her to give the true sentiment to the greatest variety of musical works of all schools. BISPHAM A REIGNING LION. David Bispham, the principal baritone engaged, is in the foremost ranks of the great artists. He is a native of Philadelphia, and made his first notable appearance in concert with the New York Symphony Society about five years ago. He then went to London, where he sang for the first times in ope?ra, and came back to this country two years ago with the Metropolitan Opera Company. He remained with that organization until it disbanded, and thl3 season is the leading baritone of the Damrosch Opera Company. Between his operatic engagements he has appeared frequently at concerts and festivals In the Eastern cities. Critics agree that he is the best baritone now before the public for such work. At the conclusion of his present engagements he will go to London to sing in grand opera at Covent Garden. Mr. Paul Haase is a baritone widely known throughout Europe, who was brought over last year by Mr. Van der Stucken to become a vocal instructor at the Cincinnati College of Music. Very few artists who have been in this country but a short time have made such strides to fame, and, no doubt, in a little while Haase will be recognized here as one of the great singers. He has already won the same enviable reputation in Cincinnati as a teacher as he enjoyed abroad. He sang in the large cities in Europe in opera and oratorio. One can easily judge his ability as an artist when In his repertoire there are no less than 103 oratorios and cantatas, of which he has sung ninety-seven. He has autograph letters from many composers, among them beRubinstein, Brahms, Bruch. Hoffman, Mascagni, Wuellner, Vierling, who express their great-admiration for him. A FULL-FLEDGED AMERICAN. Mr. George Hamlin, tenor, of Chicago, has the distinction of being an American singer in every sense of the word, claiming Illinois as the place of his birth, and having received his entire musical education in America and from American teachers. Mr. Hamlin, although but twenty-nine years of age, holds one of the foremost places ameng concert tenors In America. His progress has been extremely rapid and his success certain on all occasions. Although having sung continually in many of the principal churches of Chicago for the last ten years, his concert debut was made only three years ago. Since then he has sung with all of the principal oratorio societies of the West and many in the East. Among the most important engagements which he has filled have been with the Cincinnati May festival (1896), New York Oratorio Society, with Mme. Nordica, Chicago Orchestra, under direction of Theodore Thomas, Chicago, Cincinnati, Des Moines and Toledo Apollo Clubs, Providence, R. 1., and Milwaukee Arlon Clubs, Pittsburg Mozart Club, Louisville and St. Paul Musical Clubs, St. Louis Choral Symphony Society, etc. On all his appearances Mr. Hamlin has received the highest indorsement of the press and public. Mr. Krehbiel, the distinguished musical critic of the New York Tribune, in speaking of him, says: “Mr. Hamlin has a voice of fine manly timber, which he uses with good taste, and his musical instincts are evidently of the best. One of the most delightful features of his singing is the unvarying purity of his intonation.” Carl E. Dufft has long enjoyed the reputation of being the greatest basso in this country, engaged in oratorio and concert work. His engagements have been principally in the East, where his services are in great demand. Among all the bassos whose services were available # for the Indianapolis festival, Dr. Dufft was selected by Musical Director Van der Stucken. Os his recent appearance in Cincinnati, the Enquirer said: "Perhaps never before in the history of the ‘Pops’ was there such a memorable occasion and remarkable programme as the one presented at yesterday’s concert In Music Hall. It was a ‘Messiah’ programme with a quartet of soloists worthy of the oratorio. While all made an excellent impression, particular success crowned the efforts of Dr. Carl Dufft, who sang ‘Why do the Nations’ in dramatic, spirited style, with a magnificent voice. As an encore, the number, ‘The People that Walketh in Darkness.’ ”

The Amphlon Club and Pugno. No musical event so far this season has aroused as much interest as the initial appearance of the Amphion Club with the French pianist, Pugno, as soloist. The club, which includes In Its membership twentyfour of the finest male singers in the city, has been rehearsing diligently for nearly three months under the leadership of Mr. Oliver Willard Pierce, who in the coming concert will make his debut In Indianapolis as a conductor. The music rendered will be of the best character and yet popular and attractive. The tone quality of the club’s singing has been commented upon by several local musicians who have heard its rehearsals, while the earnestness and enthusiasm of the members and the seriousness show r n in their work promises to make the club a leading factor in the musical life of the city, A signal proof of the club’s progressive artistic spirit lies in the engagement at a high price of Raoul Pugno, Parisian piano virtuoso. This artist has been creating a veritable sensation In the cities of this country where he has played, the New York Musical Courier having placed his performance of the St. Saens Concerto above that of Paderewski and Carreno. A large list of prominent people have already subscribed for tickets—a list already numbering over a hundred names. The list of patronesses comprises some of the most prominent ladies of the city.

STEWART’S TWO SPOUSES - TRYING TO EXPLAIN TO THE COURT HIS MATRIMONIAL VENTURES. e Claims His Recent Divorce War Bona Fide—Center Lodge, I. O. O. F., Injunction Suit. John (Jack) W. Stewart, a well-known young man of this city, was before Judge Carter, of the Superior Court, yesterday in relation to charges made by Helen T. Stewart, who claims to be his wife. The woman a week ago filed a petition asking that an alleged fraud practiced on her and the court by Stewart be investigated. In this petition she Gharged that Stewart, having been foiled in his attempt to get a divorce from her in Room 1, had brought anew suit 1 r separation in Room 3, making one “Fani.ie Stewart” the defendant. The petitioner averred this was done in order that she would be deceived and would not appear against the plaintiff. "When the divorce case was called for trial there was no "Fannie Stewart” present and the plaintiff was granted his divorce. The petitioner charged that “Fannie Stewart” is a myth. Both John W. and Helen Stewart were present in court yesterday morning. Stewart admitted his marriage to the petitioner, but asserted he had been previously married to a woman named Fannie Garder in Newport, Ky. This marriage occurred in 18S4. Stewart produced affidavits to prove this marriage. They were signed> by the judge of the Circuit Court and the clerk of Campbell county, Kentucky. Stewart said that after this marriage he traveled over the country in the theatrical business. He lived with his wife in Cincinnati and New Orleans. In the latter city they became separated. He was married to Helen Stewart in St. Louis in 1895, having come to the conclusion that his first wife was dead. Last September, he said, he received information through a traveling man that she was living, and so brought a suit for divorce from her in October. This was after his separation from Helen Stewart. * The latter resides In Stewart’s house at 133 North New Jersey street, but they are not living together. The woman is a pronounced brunette, very tall and well proportioned. She is about thirty-five years of age. She testified yesterday that she left Stewart on account of his cruel treatment. She said she was unable to produce her marriage certificate, having torn it up in Chicago after a quarrel with her husband. She stated that after their separation here Stewart returned to her again and lived with her for some time in her boarding house at Ohio and New Jersey streets. She testified that on the day Stewart failed to get a divorce from her in Room 1 he shook his fist at her in the courtroom and vowed he would get even with her. Some documentary evidence was produced yesterday morning in the shape of letters it was claimed Stewart had received from a woman after his second marriage. In one of the letters the writer stated that she wanted to see StewarLon business, and urged him to come to her, or in the event he could not she would visit him. This letter was signed “your wife.” Stewart acknowledged the receipt of the letter, but denied that it was written by the woman “Fannie Stewart,” to whom he was married in Newport. Judge Carter has taken the case under advisement.

The Odd Fellows’ Building Salt. The suit of Center Lodge of Odd Fellows against the Grand Lodge to enjoin the building of anew Grand Lodge hall at Washington and Pennsylvania streets went to trial In the Circuit Court yesterday. The question at issue Is whether the injunction against the erection of the building shall be made permanent. All of yesterday morning was taken up with the opening Statements made by C. W. Smith for the plaintiff and George Shirts for the Grand Lodge. The attorneys in placing the case before Judge Allen embodied the facts previously brought out in the arguments on demurrer. During the morning there was some discussion over the speech of Mr. Smith as to the time he proposed to occupy in making his statement. After Mr. Smith had been speaking for some time. Judge Allen asked how long he proposed to talk. The attorney replied that unless he was stopped by the court he proposed to take all the time he thought the case required. He said the other side had the same right. One of the attorneys for the defendant intimated that he thought Mr. Smith ought to be able to state his side of the case in fifteen minutes. Yesterday evening the court began the hearing of evidence. This was of a documentary nature, being chiefly the reading of the journals of the Grand Lodge relative to its transactions with the subordinate lodges and the proceedings of the Grand Lodge looking to the proposed erection of the new building. At 4 o’clock Judge Allen adjourned court, announcing the taking of evidence would be resumed next Friday. A Montgromery County Right of Way. Judge Baker, of the United States Court, yesterday issued a temporary restraining order against Wesley Grantham and Chas. E. Davis, enjoining them from taking possession of a strip of the Chicago & Southeastern Railway, extending across Grantham’s farm in Montgomery county. Davis is sheriff of Montgomery county and holds a writ of ejectment from the Putnam Circuit Court.' The temporary restraining order was granted on the application of the Central Trust Company, of New York, trustee of the mortgage indebtedness of the road. Shortly after the road was constructed there was a dispute between the company and Thomas H. Messick over the latter’s rights growing out of the fact that the road crossed his farm. The case came for a hearing in the United States Court and Messick did not appear, and a decree pro confesso was entered against him. Subsequently Grantham came into possession of the farm, and he has now set up a claim to whatever rights were enjoyed or claimed by Messick. The complainant claims that the default of Messick forever bars his heris and assigns from any rights on account of the railroad crossing the land. Judge Baker set March 25 as the date for the final hearing of the case. Gabriel Jones’* Judgment. In Magistrate Walpole’s court yesterday, judgment was entered against Frederick H. Aldred, proprietor of the Bike saloon, in favor of Gabriel Jon€i>. colored. The suit was for SIOO on account of the refusal of Aldred’s employes to serve Jones with the “business min’s” lunch which the Bike advertises. The amount of the Judgment has not been fixed. No defense was made and the case went by default. Standard Oil Company Has Enough. Deputy Attorney General Moores, who has been in the gas country, reports that the waste of gas will be stopped without the process of injunction. The Standard Oil Company has already agreed to cap its wells and has no thought, It Is understood, of appealing to the Supreme Court of the United States fronrfihe decision of the Indiana Court on the gas-waste question. The attorney general fears the farmers who understand that the gas is their private property will cause the most trouble if there is any disposition to disobey the court’s injunction The Octopus Has the Leases. About all the oil territory between Broad Ripple and the state fair grounds has been leased by the Standard Oil Company. The oil men say that the field Is a big one, and that the real deposit Ws Pot yet been discovered. They think It lies south of any we’is that have yet been drilled. It will not : % opened until their leases are all secured. The company now has many men at work drilling, and the number will be increased shortly. Bicyclist Right’s Arm Broken. George J. Right, of Bright wood, was Injured quite severely yesterday morning by being thrown from his bicycle at the comer of Park avenue and St. Clair street. He was assisted to the office of Dr. Marlatt. near by. The physician found that his right forearm was fractured at the wrist, besides which there were a number of scalp wounds of a less serious character. After ihe phySSiteVS K ““ “ M>k *

TALMAGE AND Y. M. C. A. The Latter Embarrassed by the Former’s Presence Here. The Y. M. C. A. lecture, committee, which has been unable to arrange for Dr. Talmage’s lecture in this city, is especially embarrassed on account of his presence in the city. When the lecture was postponed from Feb. 3, at Dr. Talmage’s request, it was with the understanding that he would lecture here during his present tour. The Redpath Lyceum Bureau, Dr. Talmage’s agents, wrote the Y. M. C. A. about a month ago asking it to choose a date between March 3 and 12. Mr. Boda, manager of English’s Opera House, said the house was engaged every night during this period. When asked if he would release the Y. M. C. A. folks frdm their contract for the opera house, that they could use the Grand Opera House or Tomlinson Hall, he said he could not do it this late in the season. ' When the Redpath Bureau wrote, offering the March dates, they failed, through purpose or negligence, to include March 14 among the dates that were available, although they offered it to other places in this vicinity, and it was accepted by Lafayette. March 14 was open at the opera house, and had the bureau not been negligent in the matter Dr. Talmage would have lectured here Monday night. Dr. Talmage will leave Washington on another tour April 11. This date was aiso open at the opera house, and the committee tried to arrange for him to leave home one day earlier so as to lecture here at that time, but Dr. Talmage said he could not be absent from his church on Easter. When it was found that It was Impossible to arrange for Dr. Talmage’s lecture, letters and telegrams were sent to all the principal lecture bureaus in the country in an endeavor to secure the next best attraction possible at any price. After considerable negotiation Mr. John Fox, jr., of Kentucky, was engaged, and he will give readings from his own works at English’s Opera House next "Wednesday evening. While many writers are obliged to wait many years before obtaining recognition, Mr. Fox at a single bound almost has become known as one of the leading story writers of the South. When Mr. Fox’s "Cumberland Vendetta,’’ "Hell for Sartain,” and other short stories of the Kentucky mountains appeared in Harper’s and other magazines, they attracted favorable notice. His novel, “The Kentuckians," is well known. Mr. Fox is not only a good writer, but is said to be a good reader as well. Incorporations. The William E.
