DFNTRT Dr - A.E. BUCHANAN l 'ul\ ilO I 32-33 When Building. AMUSEMENTS. English*'!—“The Slkd of the friws.' 1 Fortune favors the brave, it is said, and the adage was certainly verified in the cordial reception given “The Sign of the Cross,” which began its second engagement at English's yesterday with a crowded matinee audience. While not so large, the audience last night was of flattering size and made up in enthusiasm for what it lacked in numbers. It was certainly a display of temerity to attempt to put on a play for a four days’ engagement so soon after Mr. Mansfield's magnificent production of “Cyrano do Bergerac,” but in this case temerity received reward instead of punishment. Mansfield seems to have stirred up the theatrical business. “The Sign of the Cross” possesses great attraction of a nature peculiarly its own. It would be difficult to point to any one feature of this powerful drama of Borne in the. days of the early Christians as containing its power of catching and riveting the attention of an audience. Perhaps it is rather a combination of features that constitute that power. The play does not in the least lack the aid of beautiful scenery and stage settings. The third scene of Act 2, showing the grove by the Costrian bridge, with the Christians engaged in their worship of song anil prayer, was of such surpassing beauty and Interest as to evoke prolonged applause and three or four curtain calls. The two indoor scenes of the third act, revealing the houses •of Berenice, a Roman patrician lady, and of Marcus Superbug. the prefect of Rome, wore also very tine. The work of Irene Rooke as the Christian maiden malnmins its wonderful charm displayed last season, while the heroic Charles Dalton shows no change in his powerful impersonation of the Marcus Superbus. Maud Warrilow, as the boy Stephanus, possesses a deep, rich, vibrant voice, which she used with great effectiveness in portraying the horrible sufferings of the Christian lad when put to torture to force him to reveal the meeting place of the hated sect, making almost as strong an impression as her predecessor in the role. Miss Barbara Huntley as Poppaea, Miss Agnes Scott as Berenice, Miss Nellie Fletcher as Dacia and Miss Helen De Corsla as Julia all contributed in a less measure to the success of the production, pronuonced evidence of weakness being noticeable. A good chorus is used in rendering the songs supposed to have been sung by the Christians In captivity. and this Is headed by Miss Maud Beauehampt who is a soloist of no mean ability. W. E. Bonney puts vastly more intensity in all of Emperor Nero's speeches than such biographies of him as are accessible would lead one to think he was able to employ. It is a trifle hard to imagine Nero as possessing a voice of thunderous volume, but for dramatic results the impersonation is valuable. Mr. Newman, the new niabrio. is often a disappointment, and Jlr. VVesterton plays the very essential character of TigeiHnus little better than a super. "The Sign of the Cross” will remain the rest of the week, with a matinee Saturday. Sunday evening Col. Robert G. Ingersoll will deliver his new lecture, "Superstition,” for the first time in Indianapolis. Playw right*’ IPEnnery Demi. PARIS, Jan. 2.l.—Adolphe Philippe d'Ennery, one of the most prolific playwrights of the century, died to-day in Paris in his Cghty-flrst year. The last M. D’Ennery, or Dennery, as he often wrote it, was perhaps best known to the American play-going public as one of the two authors of "A Celebrated Case,” which he produced in collaboration with M. Cormon. Alone or in conjunction with other playwrights he wrote hundreds of pieces for

the French stage. In 1862 and 1563 It several times happened that no fewer than five plays from his pen were being presented simultaneously at as many Parisian theaters. He wrote comedies, vaudeville sketches, dramas and spectacular reviews with equal facility and he was responsible, with Louis Gallet and Ed. Blau, for the libretto of Massanet's opera "The Cid.” He collaborated with M. Dumanoir in writing "Don Cesar de Basan,” and with Jules Verne in "Around the World in Eighty Days’’ and "Michael Strogoff.” Ha was born in Paris June 17, 1811, of Jewish parents. He. tried successively the calling of a notary clerk, painting and journalism. Failing in all, he turned his attention to the theater, making his debut in 1831. His first play. “De Changement d’Uniform®,” was produced in 1836 and he wrote and produced almost continuously for forty-four year Tn 1847 he received the decoration of the Legion of Honor and in 1859 was prom >ted to be an officer of the Legion. Note* of flic Stage. Gertrude Hauk, formerly of Indianapolis. now of Chicago, where she has met with no little success, will give her dramatic recital at Plymouth Church to-night, assisted by Miss Jeannette Durno, the pianiste. The programme will include as readings: "The Senator Entangled,” by James DeMllle; "Rhymes of Childhood,” by Riley; "Genevra,” by Coolidge; "Aux Italiens,” by Bulwer-Lytton; "My Ships.” Ella Wheeler Wilcox, and "At the Photographer’s,” by Harriet Ford. Between the readings there will be choice piano numbers by Miss Durno. Miss Hauk has a number of engagements booked for the rest of the season. Seats for both Robert G. Ingersoll's lecture Sunday night and for E. H. Sothern’s engagement next Monday and Tuesday nights will be placed on sale at English’s to-day. The next few weeks will witness some unusually tine productions by the Grand stock company, beginning with next week, when “Mr. Barnes of New York” will be put on. “Diplomacy,” “Too Much Johnson” and "The Senator” will follow in rapid succession, making the strongest lot of plays yet presented by the stock company. "A Scrap of Paper” is having a successful week, and is one of the best entertainments yet given by the company. The advent each season of Oliver Byron and his charming wife, Kate Byron, Is something that Is looked forward to at the Park with much pleasure. They open there this afternoon in “The Ups and Downs of Life.” To-night they will change the bill to their old-time success, "Across the Conti- — From the way seats are selling for the Grand for next Monday night, Mr. Kirkland's pictures will have to be given away by the basketful. The large frame in front of the Grand, containing numerous styles of Mr. Kirkland’s photographs, attracts much attention. With several carloads of scenery, a cast of almost forty people, a romantic play built upon one of the greatest romances that the elder Alexander Dumas has given to the world, Mr. E. H. Sothern will open at English's Opera House on Monday evening next. "The King’s Musketeer” is the title of Mr. Henry Hamilton’s new version of the “Three Musketeers,” It has taken London by storm, being equally the craze in England as “Cyrano de Bergerac” is in France. The character of Cyrano was undoubtedly inspired by d’Artagnan—-botlp re Gascons—both great duellists, but. Dumas's hero is personally more attractive, inasmuch that he has no deformity, nor does he die, but in the new version wins his lady love. "A Colonial Girl,” Mr. Sothern’s New York success, will be played on the second and last night of Mr. Sothern's engagement here, next Tuesday night. It may astonish people who have seen little George Zeno In the acrobatic act of Zeno, Carl and Zeno, at the Empire, to learn that he Is over sixteen years old. In fact, he has to be to play in the Eastern cities.

G. H. Goss, of Martinsville, at a session of the Indiana Engineering Society at the Board of Agriculture rooms in the Statehouse, yesterday afternoon, in an address on "Public Work and the Civil Engineer,” grew rather bitter in speaking of a member of the Indianapolis Common Council having procured an injunction against the Board of Public Works paying John W. Hill, engaged to examine the water works, what was due him for his services. Mr. Goss said the public was ungrateful, and he made it seem that sometimes civil engineers are martyrs. Mr. Hill was present, and at the night session he read a paper on “Purification of Public Water Supplies.” He said those who do not study the matter are disposed to be incredulous on the subject of water pollution. It is a matter that is not well understood, even by engineers, he said, unless they have given peculiar study to it. He told how rivers are polluted by the land vash, how typhoid fever is generated by impure water, and then, by the aid of a stereopticon, describes different methods of purification of public water supply. The rest of the programme of the day consisted of an address by J. J. W. Billingsley, editor of the Drainage Journal, on “Farm Drainage and How;” "Drainage,” by J. S. Spiker, of Vincennes: "Field Notes,” by John W. Fawcett, of Delphi; "A Botanical Survey,” by John E. Alter, of Rensselaer, and "American vs. European Progress in Sewage Purification,” by F. Herbert Snow, of Boston. Mr. Snow told of the “septic tank system,” now being tried in England, and said the matter of sewage disposal had gone beyond the experimental stage in this country. The society’s last session will be held this morning, when officers will be elected for the ensuing year, and City Engineer Jeup will read a paper oil “Street Paving.”

Edward Huff, accused of the murder of his father, William Huff, appeared in Police Court yesterday and a continuance was granted until to-morrow. Huff still protests his innocence of the crime.

Reed,* of Denver, is slowly getting well again. Roberts and the Uouse. Springfield Republican. And so Mr. Roberts may be expelled if two-thirds of the House believe strongly enough that it will be a reproach to the House's dignity and good name to continue him as a member. The chances are strongly against two-thirds of the House taking any such action. Not even W. C. P. Breckinridge, after the notorious damage suit in which he figured in Washington, was expelled, although he was a grave reproach to the good name and moral dignity of Congress. Mr. Roberts, of Utah, in view of his education and environment, is certainly as moral a man as Breckinridge. From Indiana hy Wagon, Fredericksburg (Va.) Post. E. A. Boyer, of Indiana, accompanied by his family of eight, arrived here this afternoon with four wagons and ten horses, en route to Middlesex county, where he will locate. The party came all the wav from Indiana in their vehicles, and have been on the road since Nov. 20. People and horses were in good plight. The “Frenzy” Is a Pretense. Washington Post.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND, Ind., Jan. 25.-One of the prominent figures of Richmond passed away this morning in the death of John S. Lyle, after an illness of a number of weeks. He was born In Virginia in 1821, the family coming to Richmond in 1823. In 1854 he was elected a justice of the peace and was reelected in 1858. In 1862 he raised Company B, Fifth Indiana Cavalry, and was elected captain, soon afterward being promoted to major. He helped print an Abolition paper at Newport, Ind., and later w’ent to Union county to help Jonathan Kidwell print a Universaltst magazine. Thence he went to Cincinnati and was engaged on the Chronicle. On his return here from the war he was chosen deputy county prosecutor and also served as city attorney. Later, in the seventies, he was again elected a justice of the peace and served until his death. He was also the first chief of police of Richmond. A wife and one son. Harry, of Minneapolis, survive. Mrs. Lyle is a daughter of John Finley, the first mayor of Richmond and widely known as author of "The Hoosier’s Nest.” Last October they celebrated their fifty-fourth wedding anniversary.

Ollier Death* in the State. MORRISTOWN, Ind., Jan. 25.—Fidela Rees, aged thirty-five, wife of Rev. John S. Rees, is dead at their home on their large farm south of town. Rev.

K. Landis Will Take Charge of the Office Next Week. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Jan. 25.—A letter was received to-day’ by a friend of Walter K. Landis, who is In San Juan, Porto Rico, which states that he had just received a cablegram from Washington ordering that he be placed In charge of the office at San Juan, and this, he says, "means that your humble servant will become the postmaster at San Juan on the first day of February.” This means promotion, and it is safe to say that the preferment of Mr. Landis is mych pleasure to his many friends in Indiana. Mr. Landis was appointed to a clerkship in the postal department in Porto Rico only about four months ago. He resided here at the time, being interested in the Daily Chronicle. He is a brother of Congressman Charles Landis, and was for a long time state correspondent for the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette, with headquarters at Indianapolis. He is well known all over the State ind was quite active in politics. He is naturally in a cheerful mood when he writes of this, and he invites the friend to come down and grow up with the> country. The postoffice at that city is by no means a small thing. At the outset Mr. Landis will have twenty men in his employ, and there is every reason to believe that the business at that place will grow rapidly. —4 A METHODIST (Ol ItT. Judicial Conference Hearing; Appealed Case of Rev. A. AV. Stout. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 25.-The judicial conference for the trial of the Rev. A. W. Stout, of Hartford, Ohio county, met in the Centenary Methodist Church this afternoon, with Bishop Fitzgerald presiding. The conference is composed of seven representatives each from the Northw’cst. Indiana, Illinois (Central Illinois) and Southern Illinois conferences. Mr. Stout's own conference cannot be represented. The accused minister was found guilty of adultery by the local church board and the Indiana Conference sustained the verdict. Then Mr. Stout took an appeal to the judicial conference which assembled to-day, and which is the first held in this part of the country in many years. The Rev. Dr. Duncan, of the First Methodist Church, of Shelbyville, appears as counsel for Mr. Stout. The papers in the case were sent here sealed, and after they were read arguments were heard. The proceedings were behind closed doors. Stout was a barber before he was a minister, and is working at his trade in Rising Sun. The defense is on the ground that the evidence does not justify the verdict of guilty. ODD FELLOWS’ SANATORIUM. Per Capita Tax of If I tn Re Raised to Start the Enterprise. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LEBANON, Ind., Jan. 25.—C. F. S. Neal, who Is home from Hot Springs, Ark., gives a statement of the action of the K. of P. special committee which met to investigate the project of erecting a national K. of P. sanatorium on the site of a government grant at Hot Springs. At the meeting the Grand Domains of Indiana, Illinois and Missouri knights were represented. The Indiana reprr sentatives were Supreme Representative < F. S. Neal, Grand Chanceller John W. McCordle, of New Richmond, Past Chancellor D. W. Sims, of Lafayette, and Charles Hernly, of New Castle. The joint committee investigated the matter thoroughly and adopted resolutions recommending the adoption of the proposal to establish such a sanatorium. The closing paragraph of the resolution reads: “Believing, as we do, that the establishment of a national Pythian sanatorium will place within the reach of every afflicted knight the means of alleviating his suffering and of probably restoring his health; convinced as we are from investigations made that a permanent cure may result from the many ills that flesh is heir to; anxious as every loyal knight must be to bring this blessing which an all-wise Providence has located at the city of Hot Springs within the reach of all, we unhesitatingly, unreservedly and most glady indorse and recommend the plan and project which the devoted knights of Arkunsas have labored so long to establish." By a special act of Congress the United States government gave to the Supreme

Lodge of Knights of Pythias a ninety-nine-year lease on about five acres of ground on the government reservation in Hot Springs, immediately adjoining the United States Army and Navy Hospital, for the express purpose of erecting and maintaining a national Pythian sanatorium. The Supreme Lodge, at its recent convention in Indianapolis. by an almost unanimous vote, accepted this donation and referred all matters to the Grand Lodge of Arkansas, with full power to act. The joint committee has decided to recommend the levying of a ’‘per capita tax of *1 on each member of the order in this grand domain who is in good standing, to be paid at the rate of 20 cents a year, 10 cents with each semi-annual report for a period of five years, provided, however, that the payment shall not begin until the. Grand Ixtdge of the domains representing 250.000 members shall have adopted the resolution levying the tax.” The site of the proposed sanatorium is on the south slope of Hot Springs mountain, and is valued at $250,000. The building will cost SIOO,OOO. It is proposed that each knight who stops at the institution shall pay the nominal sum of $2 a week, which will include all expenses. It is believed that an endowment fund of $150,000, together with the revenue derived from the place, will be sufficient to run the sanatorium. Commencement at Terre Haute. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Jan. 25.—The fortieth commencement exercises of the Terre Haute High School were held this evening at the Grand Opera House.

ANDERSON, Ind., Jan. 25.—'There no longer exists any doubt about the building and equipment of an electric railroad from Muncie to Anderson, and touching Chesterfield, Daleville and Yorktown. Hon. Charles Henry filed a petition with the commissioners of Madison county to-day outlining the proposed road, and asking for the right of way for the track through the portion of Madison county through which the road will run over which the commissioners have jurisdiction. Mr. Henry, as manager of the Union Traction Company, it is understood, united with George McCullough, of Muncie, in the venture. Already right of way for much of the distance has been secured. MUNCIE, Ind., Jan. 25. —Congressman Charles L. Henry, of the Anderson electric street railway, was in Muncie to-day in consultation with George F. McCullough, principal owner of the Muncie electric street railway, and the two closed negotiations for the construction of an interurban line connecting Anderson and Muncie. The distance is about twenty miles. The route will be direct west to Yorktown, north of Daleville two miles through the state Spiritualist camp meeting grounds at Chesterfield. Democrats Were Bluffing. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Jan. 25.—The grand jury In the Wabash Circuit Court adjourned today, after sitting two wepks. The jurors are all Democrats, and tdward the end of the session decided to take up the matter of investigating the Wabash county officers, all of whom are Republicans, and Who had been the target for the most reckless charges in the campaign just closed from two Democratic newspapers of this city.

It has been said that Commodore Dewey sought to obtain the command of the Asiatic station because he foresaw the opportunity that was to come to him. In one sense this is true. Dewey has always been a man of action, a natural fighter. That he went gladly to the East Indies command, w hen at least two other flag officers could have had it if they had wanted it, and that he preferred taking service afloat to any kind of comfortable duty on shore, is true; but it was the seaman’s instinct that led him, rather than any prophetic power. There were several questions of grave importance likely to come before the country, and Commodore Dewey knew that the man in command at sea is the man who is in a position to make opportunities for himself; wl ile the men who cling to easy billets ashore must—when war clouds threaten—■ stand around and wait for chances to come to them. It was no mere chance that put George Dewey in command in the East; it wag the logical working out of the principles of a lifetime. The men who had always had sufficient influence to keep them in time of peace in easy places in New York and Washington, while others did the hard work of the service at sea, discovered that all their influence could not give them the places of danger and of honor in time of war. It was a good lesson for the navy, and it should be remembered by every young officer. A Reconciliation. Washington Post, There was an interesting episode at Chamberlin’s yesterday at a liftle luncheon participated in by ex-Senator Blackburn. Col. Henry Watterson, General Meney and Col. Philip B. Thompson. The interest lay in the complete restoration of the old-time amity and good will that existed between the former senator and* the noted newspaper man. All past differences were buried and the ancient concord re-established on deep and imperishable foundations. Mr. Watterson assured Mr. Blackburn that his road to a return to his former senatorial position was unobfctrueted; that he would be named and elected by the next Democratic Legislature as surely as he lived, and that he, Mr. Watterson, would do all in his power to promote such a consummation. Then curled the incense of peach from choicest perfectos and everybody was happy. Our Britlsli Relative*. Julian Ralph, in Harper’s. I do not know how Mr. Stanley calculated the fifteen millions which he declared to he the number of persons in America who are related to or connected with England. I think be is quite as likely to be correct, however, as those Celtic members of Parliament who are fond of declaring that there are eighteen millions of Irishmen in the States—all pledged, of course, to prevent a good understanding between the two nations until we free Ireland from English rule. Robert Barr, the novelist, now living in England, once approached the subject of the blood ties between the two peoples by offering to lay me a wager that if I would step off a train anywhere in England, and, at any three doors whose bells I chose to ring, would ask the question. “Have you any relative in America?” two replies out of three would he “Yes.”

Hetty Green, the richest woman in America. said to-day: “New money Is coming into the market every day. Men and women who have never speculated before are lured by seductive advertising to open accounts with this, that and the other firm, assured of fortunes made over night.

Whenever I failed to get my coffee for breakfast I would have a sick headache before noon. It seemed f me a curious thing that a naturally health girl should have sick spells of this kind u.Less she had been dosed in the morning with something. I naturally concluded that all was not right, and Inasmuch as I was in a very nervous condition anyhow, I went to the doctor for a nerve tonic. He told me I would have to quit drinking coffec„ and when I said I could not possibly do Jt because I always got sick if I didn't have the coffee, he said. ‘‘Use Postum Food Coffee." Well, I tried it twice and gave it up because it tasted so flat. One day I was up to Dr. Ruggies’e Infirmary and remarked to Mrs. Buggies that the doctor had told me that 1 must leave oft coffee and, wanted me to use “this newfangled stuff called Postum,” but that it was positively unbearable. She said. "My dear, you never have had a good cup of Postum, evidently." I said, “No, I never have. I have only tried it twice." “Well." she said, “you go back and look at the package and you will observe that the directions insist upon continued boiling, at least fifteen minutes; not that length of time for the pot to set on the stove, hut it must stay there until it begins to boil, and then boil fifteen minutes. I will guarantee you will get a fine, delicious-tasting, black, rich cup of coffee and iierhaps latter flavored than any you ever tried before. The old-fashioned coffee is actually ktling you.” she said. "You are terribly nervous,, and your complexion is a long ways from what it should be at your age." Well, when l got home. I tried making some Postum at once, and followed directions carefully and 1 must say it was Just delicious. I have continued to use it ever since. I am well and hearty now and my complexion has cleared up so that during the last three months people remark to me continually. “How clear your skin is:’’ I am naturally of u light complexion and fair; „ Dr. Ruggles has all of his patients use Postum instead of ordinary coffee. 1 have Induced papa to take up Postum. ar>4 he likes it very much. One of our neighbors. Mr. C. A. Bark*. w f a 111 in bed with heart and some kind of stomach complaint. Ho was a habitual coffee drinker, but when ho got down Dr. Ruggles took his coffee away and gave him Potstum Food Coffee, lie is almost well now, and says that he believes the Postum was the main cause of hie recovery. A great many in our town u*l Postum in place of ordinary coffee. Misg Mabel Bangle, Stafford, Kan.
