AMUSEMENTS. Park-“Hamun Heart*.” “Human Hearts,” which began its season at Marion last week, opened at the Park yesterday for its first visit to Indianapolis. The story is one of the Arkansas hills, and in the cast there is the regulation stage villain, the adventuress, a simple but manly young fellow, a product of the hills, and a devoted young woman, who, after the unfaithful wife has eloped with the scoundrel of the play, becomes the angel of the mountain home. While the play has a few incidents, it is rather, on the w hole, a plain, simple story of domestic life in the hills, with here and there a dash of comedy, a bit of pathos, a number of heroic situations and other elements calculated to arouse the sympathy of the audience. “Human Hearts” is not overdrawn nor foolishly sentimental. The part of Tom Logan is played by Albert Perry, and he makes the most of the sturdy young blacksmith. He has a good stage presence, reads his lines intelligently and does not overact. Sylvia Bidwell has the role of the adventuress and Edward McHugh furnishes the comedy in the character of a tramp. Special scenery and other accessories go to help out the details of the play. Notes of the Stag*;. Elizabeth S. Ordway, known professionally as Bettina Girard, appeared in the Supreme Court, at New York, Tuesday, to plead for release from the sanitarium at Inwood-on-the-Hudson, where she has been confined since June as an inebriate. She came before Judge Bookstaver dressed in mourning and wore a dotted shirt waist and a black straw hat, and seemed to be much improved in health. Attorney Abe Hummel asked for her release on the ground that, whether the things said of her by the management of the sanitarium and her brother, Godwin Ordway, were true or not, her detention in the institution, even thought originally at her own request, was nevertheless at present illegal, inasmuch as It was against her will. In addition to Maurice Barrymore and Mary Hampton, who will be seen In “Shenandoah” at English's next week. Miss Charlotte Crane Is also in the cast. Miss Crane is the young actress who received so much advertisement last season when with Hoyt’s “A Stranger in New York.” She attended a society ball at Charleston, and left the hall because the Southern society women turned up their noses at an actress among them. It will be remembered that at other Southern cities the women resented the conduct of the Charlestown bon ton element and fairly smothered Miss crane with social attentions. Robert Mantell’s engagement at English’s opens to-night with a revival of his old-time play of “Monbars." Miss Ethel Barrymore sailed from London last Saturday. She returns to America under engagement to Charles Frohraan. Miss Barrymore has been playing in Sir Henry Irving's company. The Illuminated tent scene in the "Morning Glories” afterpiece at the Empire has been beneficially toned down and shortened. Mlaco’e “City Club.” which opens Monday at the Empire, has long ranked as one of the most expensively dressed and staged organizations In traveling vaudeville, CITY NEWS NOTES. A smoker is to be given to-morrow evening at the clubrooms of the Commercial Travelers' Club, in the English Hotel. Pla;)3 of the proposed new clubrooms will be exhibited. It was thought yesterday afternoon that Miss Rose Foster, who was injured on her wheel last Monday, would not survive the operation which was performed. Early this morning it was said at the hospital that she was resting easier, though still unconscious, and that her condition was encouraging. Superintendent Quigley received a letter yesterday, from Major General Carnahan, of the IJ. R-. K. P-. which thanked the department for the efficient services rendered cn the day of the big Pythian parade in this city last month. General Carnahan said that he had attended every meeting of the K. of P. for the last twenty years, but never before had seen a police force afford as perfect service as was shown in Indianapolis. A K. of r. Visiter’s Impressions. Murphysboro (III) Independent. The city of Indianapolis is one vast, beautifully shaded park, has a population esti-

mated at La,ooo or more. The ground is almost a level plain, with broad paved streets extending north and south, east and west, intersecting each other at right angles, with a lovely circle park in the center. From the corners of the four squares around the circle broad, beautiful avenues diverge and extend to the four corners of the city. There are grand boulevards, sward flanked and smooth, elegant homes, lovely lawns, apparently kept with precise care, beautifully decked with nature's sweet and rarest flowers. Tali, substantial stone mercantile and stately public buildings overhang the spacious, well-kept streets. There are fine libraries, elegant and stately churches, with their tall steeples towering heavenward, handsome opera houses, public halls, office buildings, etc. The statehouse, in particular, is a handsome, massive edifice, which displays in every artistic design a complete triumph of modern architecture. Every merchandise, apparently, has its mart, every interest its representatives. Traveling facilities everywhere abound—the electric cars on the shady paved streets, or the miles of pleasant w*alks for the everpassing throng. The melody of bells proclaim the fast fleeting hours and the clear shriek of the steam whistles loudly announce the cessation or renewal of a multiform of industry, and, altogether, this gay, bustling city has every apperance of social wealth, prosperity and enterprise, and proudly she waved her flags and gay hunting in a glad welcome to the many thousand visitors within her midst.

THE NICARAGUAN CANAL. Admiral Walker Reports on tbe Work Now Being Done. WASHINGTON, Sept. B.—Admiral Walker, president of the Nicaraguan Canal Commission, has returned to Washington and is again devoting his attention to the collation and compilation of the material which will form the substance 6f the report of the commission. The admiral says that the commission now has about 250 men at work along the line of the proposed canal, and they will stay there throughout the rainy season. They are making borings and ascertaining the character of the soil at every point where it is proposed to locate dams, locks or other heavy masonry structures. In addition to this the field parties are making accurate measurements of the rainfall and the flow of the various streams lying within the limits of the canal concession. This information was particularly desired by the commission owing to the fact that up to this point ail the calculations made have been based upon the conditions as existing in the dry season, the time when Nicaragua has always been visited by commissions. Admiral Walker is confident that the commission will be able to report to Congress at the approaching session, and while he says the necessary data has not been obtained to accurately determine the cost of the canal, he feels confident that the project will be shown to be entirely practicable and worthy of execution. Sue* Cniiu 1 Revenue. WASHINGTON, Sept. B.—During the year ending June 30 last, 4,842,07$ tons of goods passed through the Suez canal, borne by 1,713 ships. This information is furnished by United States Vice Consul General Watts in a report to the State Department. He shows that the traffic receipts from this commerce were $8,634,020. As might be expected, Great Britain is far in advance of all others in the number of ships passing through the canal, those under the British flag numbering 1,196 out of a total of 1.792. Germany comes second with 178, France had l</7, the Netherlands 99 and Austria 49. Only four American vessels passed through the canal during the year, our commerce in the quarter exceeding only three of the commercial nations of the world, Argentine, China and Greece.

B.—An echo of the failure of the State National Bank last year, as a result of which John Johnson, president of the bank, is now serving time in the penitentiary at Columcu.*, 0., will bo brought up in the case of Dennis Uhl and James McNitt, of this city, executors of the estate of Joseph Uhl, deceased, against the old State National Bank and Will Elliott, one of the directors of the defunct bank, and his mother, which will be called for trial in the Miami Circuit Court, at Peru, next Monday. The suit is brought by the Uhls on a loan of $35,000, made by Joseph Uhl to John Johnson. At the time of the loan Johnson gave Uhl a certificate of deposit, as president of the bank, indorsed by Will Elliott and his mother. This certificate was issued without any knowledge of the bauk, and was not entered on the books as a liability. The bank defends itself on the ground that it was Johnson’3 personal loan and not the debt of the bank. On the other hand the Uhls maintain that the debt belongs to the bank and are bringing suit to obtain the $35,999, with interest, making the demand nearly $40,000. As it stands the case is a three-cornered one, the bank trying to make the Elliotts pay the debt, the Elliotts endeavoring to unload part of it on to the bank, w'hile the Uhls areSletermined to secure their money, not being particular whether the bank, the Elliotts or both pay* it. German Methodist Conference. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART. Ind., Sept. B.—ln 1896 the General Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church created the Chicago German Conference, and representatives of the four churches met here to-day to organize the conference by electing the president, secretary, steward and committee.

Ludwig, of Chicago; Rev. H. Schleucher. of Carmi, 111., and Rev. S. Helninger, of Elkhart, besides Rev. S. G. Shaibly*, of Berea, 0., w.. 0 has no cnarge. He is yet in the army, having gone to the front at the first call to arms. Heretofore tne churches comprised in the German Conference have been under the supervision of the Home Board of Missions of the Methodist Protestant Church, but with the organization effected to-day it becomes an independent conference subordinate only to the general body. The result of the election was as follows: President, Rev. Heininger; secretary*. Rev. Nickel; stew’ard, Rev. Schleucher; committee, Rev. J. C. Ludwig, of Chicago, Rev. Nickel and Rev. Schleucher, L. Zuber, P. Blttle and U. Hege, the last three being laymen. Rev. Ludwig was elected to elder’s orders. Elkhart’s Disliaiment Case. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ELKHART, Ind., Sept. B.—At Lagrange to-day Special Judge Merritt rendered a decision in the disbarment case of Attorney Jonas O. Hoover, of this city, who was tried for twenty-five distinct cases of irregular practice. The case was taken from Elkhart county to Lagrange on change of venue, and was tried at the spring term, but various matters delayed the decision until to-day. The judge finds the defendant guilty and fixes his punishment at one year’s suspension and to pay the cost of the case. This item will be quite heavy, as most of the witnesses went, from this county*, and the talent engaged in the case on both sides was high-priced. One of the most serious as well as most peculiar charges against Hoover was that he secured a divorce for a person who not only did not order the action but did not want a separation. Hoover is one of the leading Democrats in the community and during the campaign of 1596 w*as county chairman. It was mainly through his influence that Bryan was induced to visit Elkhart on his tour of vote-seeking. Hoover is quite active in one of the leading churches. Hartford City School Teacher*.

He has been elected assistant chief of the fire department and is filling that position, but Reinbold, the labor leader w r ho was elected on the Democratic ticket, has not been willing to vote for the man the Democratic managers want seated in the Council and therefore Armstrong has retained the seat, although holding the other position.

WE MUST HAVE AN ARMY ♦ GEN. WHEELER’S STATEMENT OF THE LESSON OF THE WAIL • ♦ A Large Force of Professional Soldiers tie Need of the Country— Changes In Warfare. New York Commercial Advertiser. “We must have an army.” These words were spoken by Major General Wheeler to-day, not in disparagement of the shattered though victorious army now at Camp Wikoff, but as a concise statement of the lesson of the war. Probably no one to-day understands better than General Wheeler what vast changes modern science has wrought in the art of fighting, and it is because he understands this that he emphasizes the military need of the country. General Wheeler’s remark was called forth by a reference to the next meeting of Congress, in which the general will stt, and which will have to consider the important question of the reorganization of our army. General Wheeler would in any case have a far-reaching influence over the deliberations of that body in reference to military affairs, but his position will be far more important than that merely of a member whose wide experience entitles his opinions to great respect. General Wheeler has been invited by Mr. Hull, the chairman of the military comrniti.ee, to assist in the preparation of the new army bill. The general’s words, therefore, have a peculiar significance, for it is more than probable that the changes which Congress will make in our military system will be carried out along the lines suggested by him. General Wheeler discussed his views at considerable length to-day, recounting by way of ilustration some of his experiences in Cuba and comparing them with those of the war of ISCI-C5. It is difficult for one to realize when talking to General Wheeler that this slight, fragile-looking man, whose manners are uniformly mild and gentle, whose speech flows in the softest of tones, accompanied by simple gestures, is he whom they call “Fighting Joe.” It is only by a sentence now and then that one realizes the truth of this soldier’s nickname. But it needs only a few of these sentences to convince one of the vigor of any policy the general might advocate. "Mr. Hull has asked me to meet him shortly before Congress opens in December,” said General Wheeler, “and assist in the work of drawing up the new army bill. “For we must have an army. The experiences of this war have shown that. The secretary of war said to me recently that he thought w r e shoud have an army of one hundred thousand men, and Mr. Hull will draw’ up a bill on that basis.”

NOT A LARGE FORCE. General Wheeler did not say It in so many words, but he made It easy to Infer from what he said that he should not consider a considerably larger force inadvisable. He went on to explain why a large regular army has become necessary. The reason is the difficulties experienced by volunteer troops under modern methods of fighting. “This war has made very clear to me,” he said, “the cruelty and futility of taking men from the counting room and putting them in the battlefield when fighting is carried on as it Is at the present time. “You see, our tactics have changed completely since the war of ’6l-’GS. Formerly we used to wait until we were within close range—two or three hundred yards at most—before we opened lire, and fire in such cases was pretty generally effective. Now we open fire at 8(M) yards, and unless the officers and men have had a great deal of practice the firing at that distance is pretty certain to be ineffective. It takes long training to learn to get the range at such a distance, and success; depends more upon the officers than upon the men. “You see, the way they do is this: They learn how much they can see of a man at a given distance; then when they see so much they estimate the distance accordingly. It takes years of practice to learn to do this, but the regular officers get surprisingly skillful at it, and can tell almost exactly from a man’s appearance how far away he is. All they have to do then, when they have estimated the distance, is to tell the men to fix their sights for the proper number of yards. And when the men fire they hit the target, or come pretty near it. "Now, the volunteers have not sufficient training to enable them to lire with any degree of accuracy at a distance of 800 yards. The probability is when they fire at such a distance their shots will fall 300 yards short. “In the war of 1861 the men were using weapons with vhich they were familiar, rifles, and even shotguns. But in the volunteer regiments that took part in this war there were many men, they tell me, who had never fired a shot. “Now, when the regular gets under fire he realizes that the thing for him to do is to make it so hot for the enemy that he will have to get out of his way, either to hit him or send the bullets so near him that he will withdraw or seek cover. The regular know’s how to do this. His fire is effective, and that is his best protection. But when the volunteer gets under fire, hears the bullets flying around him, and knows that his efforts to get at the enemy are ineffective, he has no choice but to stay and be killed or to withdraw. LACK OF BRAVERY. "It does not show a lack of bravery If he withdraws. Take the case of two men fighting. One sees the other raining blows upon him, but can do nothing in return. The natural thing for him to do is to get away as quickly as possible. So it does not show a lack of bravery on the part of volunteer troops if they withdraw when they have become a target for the enemy but are ineffective themselves.” General Wheeler went on to explain that those qualities which formerly made the volunteers valuable on the field of battle are of little or no avail now’. Science has taken the place of enthusiasm. “In the war of ’61,” he said, “shouting and charging did some good, but that sort of thing doesn’t count now. It is all science now, and that is the only thing that really counts ori the field of battle to-day.” The general thin brought out the striking difference that exists in every respect between the battle of a modern war and those which marked the war of 1861. He made this more plain by describing his own sensations In the first battle In Cuba. “Os course, I knew that things would h’' different in this war from what they wei in ’6l and ’65, but I had no idea that they would be so absolutely unlike what I had experienced on the field of battle before. I was in nearly all of the great battles from ’6l to ’65, and a great many small ones, io command of the cavalry, and therefore always at the front, and a battle always suggested to my mind a great deal of noise and smoke. “The first few’ days in Cuba were very busy days; we worked till midnight, and got up at 4 the next morning. That, in addition to the heat and the cold rains, had its effect, and four or five days after we landed I was taken suddenly sick, and my temperature rose very high. I called the doctor and said; ‘Doctor, you must give me something to put a stop to this.’ He gave me some medicine which helped me, and I was able to take my horse and go to •the front. I had made up my mind not lo go to the rear, because I thought if the generals begin to go to the rear on account of sickness the men will go too, and I wanted to get at the Spaniards as quickly as possible. FIGHTING THE SPANIARDS. “I said to General Shatter when we were planning the operations of the campaign: “These Spaniards are very proud of their chivalry, and the. only thing to do is to show that we have just as much of it as they, to push right on and fight them wherever we find them.’ It was shortly after this that wo located the Spaniards. We got a map of the country from the Cuban general. Castillo. “I said to General Young: ’General, if they don’t move, we will give them a fight In the morning.’ The Cubans said they would move away before morning, that that was their way. I feared they would, but hoped they would not. In the morning wo advanced. and presently we saw a line of soldiers stretching along for a mile or more. I was undecided whether they were really Spaniards or not. I thought they might be Cubans. And so I said to General Young: ‘We must be very certain that those are Spaniards before we open fire.’ I took my glass and judged from their uniforms, hut more especially from the uniformity of their uniforms and the ahsence of black men among them, that they were Spaniards, and I said to General Young: ‘You may open fire with the shrapnel gun*.’ The Spaniards returned the tire and the battle had begun. “As I looked out over the scene I could

The guns do not make much noise—we could not hear the Spanish rifles, in fact—there was no smoke, and if the bullets had not been flying around over our heads we should hardly have known that a fight was going on. Suddenly a man who wa3 standing near me fell down. In the war of ’6l ’65 we used to hear the bullets when they struck tho men. But there was no sound in this case. 1 saw that the man was gasping, however, and I told another man who was standing near to unloosen his belt and see what was the matter. When he opened the shirt X saw a little blood, and then by looking closer I saw in his abdomen a very small wound which had nearly closed up. Then, all of a sudden it came over me what great changes had occurred in the art of war since I860.” Once more the general emphasized the fact that all these changes were In the direction of science and skill. “There Is only one conclusion,” he said. ‘‘We must have an army. Henceforth, under these new conditions, we must depend upon men specially trained, professional soldiers, to do our fighting.” One on the Scorcher.

WORKING ON BRAINS Food Specialist Brings Out a Novelty. A food expert at Battle Creek, Mich., connected with the Postum Cereal Company, Urn., has produced a food especially intended for rebuilding the brain. It Is a wellknown fact among physicians that examination of perspiration and urine will tell whether the individual has been actively using the brain or not. Brain work exhausts the phosphates which appear In the excreta above mentioned. Administration of Inorganic phosphorus or phosphates does not readily supply the waste, for nature demands that phosphates be made up and blended in food which she furnishes. Advantage has bten taken of this knowledge and a scientific selection of part of the grain has been made, and these have been put through mechanical processes parallel to the processes through which food Is passed in its management oy tne human digestive organs. Therefore the new food is not only’ ready to serve without cooking, hut it has passed through the process where the starches have been changed to grape sugar, and that with the proteids. organic phosphates, etc., arc at once ready to he quickly absorbed and turned to use in vitalizing and nourishing the parts of the body like brain, solar plexus, and the delicate nerve centers. The new food lias been given the name of Grape-Nuts, and far from being a “Crank’s Food,” “Invalid's Food,” or anything of that sort, it is a crisp, sweet novelty, charming to the athlete, brain worker, epicure or Invalid. Grape-Nuui can be had of grocer*, and a trial dish for breakfast will be found a pleasant experience.
