AMUSEMENTS. “A Romance of Coon Hollow.'* which opens at the Park this afternoon for the rest of the week, brings to the minds of the readers of the various magazines the numerous dialect stories of the South. In the performance of "Cooft Hollow” they can see and hear these quaint people of the Tennessee mountains. A troupe of singers and dancers, a plantation brass band, numerous specialties, scenery and unique. electrical effects mak< the show one to be appreciated by all classes. There is a tinge of hero worship ii the welcome everywhere accorded to Lieutenant Peary, which surpasses the reception of Dr. Nansen. This is as it should lie. Peary Is an American, and it ts only tilting that there should be a warmer feeling for him than for a foreigner. Moreover, the desperate courage shown by Lieutenant Peary is almost unparalleled itt the splendid story of Arctic exploration. He will lecture-at the Grand Saturday evening next, and the story he -ells of his explorations in the region around the north pole will he illustrated by more than a hundred stereoptkon views. W M. Hale is here ahead of 'Shannon of the Sixth.” which is the Park's attraction next week. George Kiddie's Heading. George Riddle, who has won considerable fame as a dramatic reader, appeared at English s Opera House last night and gave an interesting entertainment In conjunction with tlio Beethoven Orchestral Club. A large audience heard Mr. Riddle's readings, which were interspersed with orchestral music. Mr. Riddle read from the five acts o) The i-ady of Lyons," reading each charc;s£.r.* P art with strong dramatic effect. Abridged copies of the drama wer* 1 distributed among the audience, and each person was able to follow the words of the reader. Mr. Riddle wa<* in fine voice, and was often applauded. His work was nartlcularly enjoyable in the scene between t laude Melnotte and Pauline, where the man describes to the woman his palace bv the lake of Como. Between •'acta” the Beethoven Club gave "The Evening Star’* and "The Bridal March,” by Wagner; ‘ La Marseillaise” and h noitturiH; in L Hut. Thtt of tht* Beethoven Club are Paul Llsteman conductor: Oscar Krug, second violin - Fritz Llstemann, viola; Franz Listemann. ‘cello William Z. Cole, flute: F. T. Edmunds’ double bass. Lour Hair Ison Apvcnla to Uncle Mam. BERLIN. March HQ.—John B. Jackson, secretary of the United States embassy, representing Ambassador Andrew D. White, who is ill, has made representations at the Foreign Office In behalf of Miss Harrison, of the, Barrieon Staters,

whose expulsion from Germany has been requested as a "notoriously obnoxious person.” Mi. Barrlson asked lor the intervention of the Foreign Office and the latter aisurfrd Mr. Jackson that if Miss Barrison kept within the legal limits her public appearance would not be forbidden. The Cologne Gazette ridiculed the proposed expulsion of Miss Barrlson as being a "grave injustice.” ••BeJlc of 9iew York” Suite. "The Belle of New York” was to have sailed yesterday on the same boat with “The Heart of Maryland” company. “The Belie” is to open April 12 at the Shaftsbury in London. The New York Evening Sun has this to say of the ocean voyage of the company. A change has come over the spirit of the fair actresses in “The Belle of New York.” They aren’t nearly so anxious to sail for England as they were two or three days ago. In fact, the belles are suffering from a war scare of the largest dimensions. The fact; that they are about to sail on an American ship, and the possibility that their craft might be made the bull’s-eye of some stray Spaniard’s hot shot, have filler! those unusually giddy young persons with 18-karat apprehension. At the Casino yesterday the young women could talk of nothing else, and one fair chores girl made a sensation by producing an old cook book called “How to Board a Spaniard on $7 a Week.’’ This book instantly became so popular that by the end of the evening the chorus girls had absorbed it to such an extent that there was nothing left of it but its cover. After tlje rehearsal an informal council of war was held by the young women and a definite plan of action decided on. The moment that a Spanish craft dawns on the horizon every belle will assume her tights and full war paint and report for active s- 1 .ice in full marching order to Miss Sylvia Thorne, whose pedai members were unanimously chosen to head the brigade. Each morning, in the course of the voyage, a short drill will be gone through, which, among* other things, will show the young women the shortest way of pulling a Spanrard’s leg. That they will be fully armed goes without saying, for not only will their personal charms make the use of any arms save thpse with which nature has provided them unnecessary, but in case of emergency the guns, property daggers and all the stage gun powder of “The Heart of Maryland” company are ready for them, and if the worse shpujd come to the worst MrF. Leslie CSFrter cah save everybody by climbing the Iratfry again and ringing the bell in the third act. Jilin Arthur Too 111 to Act. \ March 30.—Julia Arthur, who fainted, on the Hollls-street Theater stage last evening shortly after her entrance in "A Lfidy of Quality,” is slowly recovering from \her nervous and physical collapse. Her prostration, however, is so complete that dates have been canceled. Miss Arthur’s illness will prevent Indianapolis from witnessing her production of “Ar, Lady of Quality.” She was booked at English’s later in the season. ‘•Heart of Maryland” Safin. NESW YORK, March 30.—David Belasc-o and the ‘‘Heart of Maryland” Company, ftrirty-flve persons In all, sailed on the stea’mer'flt. Paul to-day. They will present the American war play at the Adelphi Theater, London, under the management ot Charles Frohman, on April 9. Prominent in the cast are Mrs. Leslie Carter, Maurice Barrymore and Odell Williams. Davenport Recovering. CHICAGO, March 30.—Fanny Davenport, the actress, reached the crisis in her illness at noon to-day and at once began to improve. Her physicians now believe she will soon be able to book a short season of four or five weeks. Miss Davenport was attacked by nervous prostration last Saturday and for several days It was feared her Illness would result fatally.

HIS FATHER WAS DYING. j Young Cosier Found His Dream Was a Realty. Isaac Cosier, aged sixty-six years, of 2004 Central avenue, died suddenly at an early hour yesterday' morning. He had been complaining for several days, but on Tuesday evening was much better. He retired at his usual hour. About 1 o’clock yesterday morning he again complained of feeling ill and arose. His wife asked if it would not be best to send for a physician, but he told her he thought he would be better directly. He spoke df pains about the heart. Shortly afterward he went to bed again and was resting much easier. Some time later he grew worse and his wife sent his son for a doctor. The father was dead before the physician arrived. A peculiar fact is related in connection with Mr. Coaler’s death. His son stated yesterday that when he was awakened to go for the doctor hi- was at that moment dreaming that his father was dying. The father of one of young Coaler’s friends died a week ago and this bereavement, together with his father’s condition, had weighed heavily on his mind and was perhaps accountable for his strange dream. Mr. Cosier came to Indianapolis about three years ago from Illinois. He was a prominent farmer of central Illinois and had been very successful. He was well liked on account of his affable manner and his strict principles of integrity and honesty. He leaves a wife and several children. This afternoon at 4 o’clock funeral services will be held at the family home, on Central avenue. On Friday burial will occur at Tuscola, 111. A VICTIM ONCE BEFORE. Jeweler Mnlatly Could Not Be Worked Twice the Same Way. A well-dressed young man made an unsuccessful attempt last night to steal a diamond ring from John P. Mulally, a Monument Place jeweler. He rode up on a bicycle at 8 o’clock and asked to examine diamonds. He looked at several and finally found one that seemed to suit his fancy, lie put it on his finger and admired it and edged toward the door, saying he would show it to his brother, Frank Rtensel, in the barber shop next doer. Mr. Mulally lost rf.,flne diamond this way less than a year ago and was suspicious. He declined to allow the ring to go out of the store. The young man was persistent. "There’s my wheel there,’’ he said, ‘which is ample security for the ring for a minute. Mr. Mulally started around the show case tpfi’ard the young man, and the fellow kept going toward the door. Mulally picked up a pistol as he went and when thevyoung man started to open the door covered him and commanded him to keep his hand off the latch. Even then the young man Insisted on arguing, but Mr. Mulally was convinced that he was a thief and kept him covered with the pistol and made him deliver the diamond. He found the barber shop was closed and learned later that Frank Stensel has no brother. HURRIED FOR HIS TRAIN. Dr. C. A. Allen, of KottchdHle. Full* Down u St air wit). Dr. C. A. Allen, a resident of Roachdale. fell down the stairway leading to the restaurant above Ferris’s saloon at 132 West Washington street about 11 o'clock last night and was painfully injured about the head. Dr. Allen, with Fred Herbester, of Pittsboro, and two young women of .this city, went to *he restaurant to have lunch. The women gave the names of Fannie MeDon gal and Minnie Logan. While they were eating Dr. Allen suddenly discovered that he only had time to catch his train and, jumping up hurriedly, started from the room. According to the story of one of the women she ran after him and at the head of the stairway playfully caught hold of his ••oat to detain him. He stumbled and fell down .he stairway. The injured man was carried into the Bates House drug store and Dr. McCleary called. The physician fixed up the injured man so that he was able to start home. Dr. Allen is about fifty years of age. Urchin Hearts Fired. The city police have been asked to look out for John Matson und Paul Lybyer, two Brazil urchins who have strayed from home and are supposed to have come to this city. They are about fourteen years of age, and their friends have notified the police that they “have war on the brain.” The police have been requested to watch the United States recruiting office as it is thought the hoys may apply there to be taken into the service.

NO ‘YELLOW' JOURNAL SCHEME. Local Maine Monument Fund Will Not He Under It. Ever since the first thought of a monument to be erected in memory of the victims of the Maine disaster was broached In public, a certain New York “yellow" journal has sought to place on its own shoulders all the labor and honors of a successful attempt to raise an enormous sum of money by popular subscription for the purpose. In pursuing this well-planned advertising scheme the paper referred to directed letters to nearly every prominent r.ian in public or private life in the country, asking that they allow their names to be used as members of a national committee, assuring them, however, that no demand would be made on their time, thus indicating delicately that their name and Influence only were wanted and that the work and glory must go to the paper. A few monos national reputation acquiesced, while some refused point blank. These letters found their way into several prominent gentlemen’s hands in this city, notably those of Mayor Taggart, who at once began to stir up local enthusiasm, with the result that a working committee composed of representative citizens have the work in charge and to-day will circulate subscription blanks throughout the city, putting them In every public or prominent place. But right there the work of the Ntjw York advertising schemers ends. The circulars sent out by the New York paper directed that all moneys be sent to the cashier of that paper for acknowledgment, but the local promoters, desiring to make the effort of Indianapolis citizens a praiseworthy one. ignored the paper entirely and learning that there was a national committee in existence empowered to handle the matter without Journalistic help, have made arrangements to send all money to that body through Its authorized treasurer, George J. Gould, of New York. Admiral Brown, who is local chairman of the monument committee, says he does not believe in becoming a party to such a palpable scheme to inflate the circulation of a

“yellow" New York paper by trafficking in the sorrow of a nation. He so expressed himself at a recent informal meeting of those interested in the presence of a representative of the paper referred to. Admiral Brown wishes the public at large to understand that the New York paper is recognized in no way by those having the work in charge here. Therefore the patriots of Indianapolis are assured by Admiral Brown that their offerings will be those of patriotism, and not a contribution to the success of a newspaper advertising scheme. It has been decided to give a benefit performance here for the Maine fund, but the details have not taken definite enough shape to warrant mention. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

(Conrlnitrd from Ft rut I’uKr.l fact la that with the Carlists armed to the teeth and signs of revolution everywhere half suppressed, the government looks with suspicion on all private attempts to organize volunteer soldiery. A volunteer force might be an embarrassing thing in Spain unless its loyalty to the reigning dynasty was assured beyond doubt. The idea of every Spaniard giving to the war fund a sum of money equal to his earnings for one day is in high favor. Such a suggestion ’n New York would be met by an indignant outcry from stock speculators and trusts, but here it stirs the deepest sentiment of the people. The original plan was that this should be done on May 2, the anniversary of the rising of Madrid against French domination in ISOS, but the people are too impatient to wait until then and many have already written offering their money. Committees for promoting this subscription have been formed in several places, and at a meeting held in Toledo a large body of workingmen offered to contribute one day’s earnings. A committee has been organized to receive subscriptions for making a present to the government of a war ship, to be called “The Second of May.” The directors of this fund are Emilio Castelar. Marshal Lopez Dominguez, the Marquis Gomillar, chief owner of the Spanish Transatlantic Company, the Bishop of Sion, chaplain general to the Queen and army, and presidents of several corporations. The first subscription received was from .Don Louis Delgado, a Spaniard residing in Birmingham. On Thursday a special performance will be given at the Royal Opera House in. aid of the national fund for strengthening the navy. All seats are sold. Performers volunteered their services. Eminen* painters, sculptors and writers will take part in a pageant representing Spanish heroes and heroines, from Cid to Maria Pitara(. the woman defender of Corunna against the English, and Augustina de Aragon, the woman defender of Saragossa against France. A similar performance at Havana a few da vs ago produced $42,000. Telegrams from South American republics to the minister of marine announce that important sums of money are being sent by thousands of Spaniards living there. It is announced that these Spaniards have already subscribed enough to build a war ship to be christened "Rio de la Plata.” Similar cablegrams come from Mexico. Enthusiasm there is said to be so great that one subscriber has given SIOO,OOO to help Spain buy war ships. The Spanish armywill also contribute one day's pay, the initiative having been taken by a high military- academy. This movement is being delicately- engineered and the purpose is to gradually work up to a great outburst, ending in street demonstrations. Then the Spanish government will launch a popular domestic loan. It is pitiful to see how Spain is struggling to conceal her bankruptcy and loss of credit abroad. Her corrupt system of government and ruthless wars have drained her treasury, destroyed her resources and exhausted her people. FORESHADOWS PEACE. Tone of the Madrid Pres* Not So Bellicose as a Few Weekx Ago. MADRID, March 30.—The general tone of the press to-day foreshadows peace. An exception is the Pais (Republican), which, referring to the conference yesterday between the United States minister, Gen. Stewart L Woodford, and Senor Sagasta, the premier, Senor Gullon, the minister for foreign affairs, and Senor Moret, the minister for the colonies, sees therein that the l nited States is “gaining time and awaiting the rainy season so as to take Spain at a disadvantage in Cuba.” The Pais also expresses the belief that the Spanish government is prepared to make further concessions to the United States and fears the upshot may mean “loss of Cuba, money and dignity." It further says that all the questions pending between Spain and the United States were discussed yesterday, but that nc Jthing further is known. The Liberal (moderate Republican) says nothing has leaked out beyond the official “ We aspect this secrecy, provided it does not hide a definite decision prior to the opening of the Cortes. The nation must be consulted as well as the Regent and the ministers.” T h( ;.£ lobo (liberal) heads its editorial article Rese’-ve, Serenity, Confidence.” declining to lift a corner of the veil of ministerial secrecy. The Imparcial opens a long article by exclaiming: ••There is patriotism! That is W ilw t ,1 s heard everywhere in connection with the generous offers arriving from all the provinces. It is a national spirit like this which accomplishes what riches cannot. The great mass of the people,” the Imparcial adds, “respond to the call to lend help m the defense of the honor and integrity- of the fatherland, which is wrapped up ia A. h , e ho ?,V r a " d dignity of the nation. Nothing will so decisively prevent the government in Washington, on humanitarian pretexts from interfering in the internal affairs of Cuba. Fharity, as the Americans understand it. is not charity; it is an outrage to the pious, Christian sentiment existing in Spain. In the minds of other peoples Spain s consent to allow United States officials to succor Cubans constitutes true ignominy. It is the moral integrity necessary to the honor of the nation, as well as the material integrity. It is the former the l nited States is trying to wound. With the sums collected and collecting by subscriptions in Havana by theatrical performances and other means in Spain and South America the, government at Madrid ought to say to the government at Washington that Spain is in no need of its indigent subjects being succored by the charity of another state, thus constituting the most humiliating intervention, and that she desires to depend upon her own resources voluntarily given and not extracted like your half u million dollars from Congress. The moral effect and diplomatic result of such a pronouncement would be incalculably greater than of any war ship which could be purchased.”

LONDON, March 30.—Mail advices received here to-day from Las Palmas, Canary islands, under date of March 23, coniirm the Washington advices of the sailing of the Spanish torpedo flotilla.

LONDON. March 31.—The Madrid correspondent of the Dally Mall says: “Senor Puigcerver, minister of finance, has already secured sufficient gold to pay the first installments on a cruiser and dispatch boat bought from Italy. The furor of patriotism is growing w’ith such ardor that it is believed that if war occurs the government will have a splendid opportunity to raise a large internal loan by popular subscription.” The Madrid correspondent of the Times, commenting on the cheerfulness of the Spanish public, suggests that this is due to the hope that Europe will lie willing to confront America on Spain’s behalf, the public being "apparently incapable of discriminating between material alliances and courteous but platonic phrases.” The Queen Hejretit** Appeal. LONDON, March 31.—The Vienna correspondent of the Standard says: “The Queen Regt nt of Spain, I learn, wrote personally last week to Emperor Francis Joseph and other sovereigns, including Emperor Nicholas, requesting not precisely intervention,

hut the exercise of such influence at Washington as might conduce to a peaceful settlement without injury to Spain's dignity and vital interests. To her relatives in Austria her Majesty wrote that she regards herself as more fettered than a real sovereign, because she is only a trustee who has_undertaken to hand over to a son an inheritance from his father unimpaired and uninjured. ‘I am in a difficult position.’ she said, ’having to act as a guardian of the dynasty, which I must not expose to any danger, and at the same time as the defender of the rights, honor and interests of Spain. To surrender Cuba in any form would unquestionably injure the dynastyunder which it occurred: whereas, to light for it would keep these interests intact, tof ether with my country’s honor. But the isadvantages Spain would have to fight under are obvious and a peaceful solution would best serve every purpose.” “Hurry" Order for Coal. LOUISVILLE, Ky., March 30.—The government coal fleet that tied up just below the city- on Saturday, bound for the gulf, was to-day ordered by the secretary of the navy to proceed at once and at all hazards. The coal is for the use of the United States navy at Key West. The “hurry” order jwas obeyed with such alacrity that part of the crew got left here. The fleet carried nearly 2,000,000 bushels of coal, which was purchased at Pittsburg. The fleet had tied up waiting for the high water to subside. Enough coal was carried - by the fleet to supply two hundred war ships for several days. Italians Mast Be Neutral. LONDON. March 31.—The Rome correspondent of the Daily Chronicle says: “The government has sent orders to the Italian consuls in the United States to see that Italian emigrants observe the strictest ’neutrality in the event of war. The Vatican earnestly desires peace. The Pope greatly esteems Spain, but also manifests his warm sympathy for the United States. The Vatican regards the American Catholics as the hope of the Catholic Church and desires to do nothing that will offend the Washington government. Tlie Columbia Starts Again. PHILADELPHIA. March 30.—The cruiser Columbia, which sailed from the League Inland navy yard on Monday to join the flying squadron at Hampton roads, passed Reedy island in the Delaware bay at 4 o’clock this afternoon. The Columbia anchored at Deep Water Point off Newcastle. Del., on Monday night and yesterday started for her destination, but after goingfifteen miles was compelled to anchor because of the heavy- fog on the bay. The Columbia will probably reach Hampton roads early to-morrow. Brooklyn \nvy lord Crowded. NEW YORK. March 30. At present there are over two thousand men at work in the navy yard, Brooklyn, and work is going on there day and night. The work on the Dolphin has now been completed and stores and ammunition are being put on board her. She will be ready to sail by Saturday, if necessary. There are now nearly twenty vessels in the yard, including the Chicago. Atlanta, Texas, Dolphin and Mayflower. Leo'* Mediation Declined. ROME, March 30,-Mgr. Del Val. the Spanish ambassador at the Vatican, had a long interview to-day with Cardinal Rampolla, Papal secretary of state. This has revived the rumors that the Pope will Intervene in the Cuban affair. It is known, however, that thus far offers of mediation from the Vatican have been firmly hut respectfully declined. California Volunteer*. SAN FRANCISCO, March 30. -The first California volunteers have organized in thU city. The company roster has been sent to the secretary of war, with an applieath , to be enrolled in the event of war with Spain. There are seventy-five names on the roll. The Terror and Puritan. CHARLESTON. S. C., March 30.-The monitor Terror sailed this morning for Key West, after having her air compressors repaired and taking on coal. The monitor Puritan came into port at noon.

First Train in a Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. SEYMOUR, Ir.d., March 30. -Last night the Pennsylvania Railroad Company sent the first passenger train in a week to Indianapolis over its own line. Since last Thursday two pild drivers, one from the Louisville & Nashville and one from the Vandalia Railroad Company, together with a large force of men from each road, have been at work between this city and Columbus in repairing bridges and trestles. 'Work on the washouts on the Southern Indiana is progressing slowly, as the second rise in White river interfered with the work. All day yesterday men worked in water waist deep in getting out sections of the track, which had washed into adjacent fields. Twenty-five carloads of stone have been dumped into one hole near this city, and it will require a similar amount to complete the work. The damage sustained by the county through the flood -will amount to thousands of dollars. Twelve miles of gravel roads have been washed away and the large iron wagon bridge over Indian creek, built last summer, was carried fifty feet from its abutments and farmers from the western part of the county will be unable to come to town over the road until the bridge is replaced. Exaggerated reports of flood damages are being sent out from Mitchell in regard to the destruction along the line of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern Railway. There is no truth in the report from that place published this morning of a bridge and levee being washed out near Hayden, as there is no bridge levee near the place. The only trouble experienced by the road east of here Is at Lawrenceburg. where the Ohio river has flooded the roadbeds and has compelled the company to run its trains over the Big Four from Lawrenceburg to North Vernon and thence west over its own line. CHINA’S NEW PROTECTOR. Ilussin 'Will Hereafter Guard the Celestial Empire's Interests. ST. PETERSBURG. March 30.-The press is jubilant over the Russian occupation of Port Arthur an! Ta-Lien-Wan. It counsels Great Britain to put the best face upon the matter. The Viedomosti says that Russia thereby assumed great responsibilities. She must prevent Japan's territorial designs by every means in her power. Russia indirectly takes China under her protection and further exploitation of the Celestial empire, therefore, will give offense to Russia. Movements of Stcnmer*. NEW YORK.
