KnglhhW'llie King's Musketeer.” Poetic Sothern came nearer realizing the public ideal of the Gascon D’Artagnan in “The King's Musketeer,” at English's, last night, than the intellectual Mansfield did as the Gascon Cyrano. Asa result Sothern reaped a. glorious reward in furious ap-i plause after each of the scenes in this new version of “The Three Musketeers.” The fine audience, second only to Mansfield’s in eclat, departed immensely satisfied and reluctant to leave the theater, which, for the time, had been the scene of so much romantic daring, and courage, and dueling, so much lovemaking and perfumed chivalry. Sothern has fairly surpassed. all his former efforts as a feathered-hat actor with swagger boots and “trusty sword.” He can turn more pretty compliments In one breath than any of his rival poseurs, and he Is just as ready as ever to die for jealousy or rip open the bowels of an adversary. Indeed, Sothern played the Gascon as Mansfield would have played him had he not played him the way he did, and there is no offense In that to either fine gentleman. If the leading actors of the stage are going to return to the heroic drama they should all take a look at Sothern’s new production. Any one who calmly'surveyed the audience at English’s last night and saw the people carried away with enthusiasm in the good old-fashioned style at the thrilling events of this famous Dumas story will be ready to admit that the stage is ripe for a return to the old plays again. There was enough blood-letting in the first act to set the gallery shouting, and it was all so gracefully and gallantly accomplished as to win the. immediate approbation of the more refined taste of the parquette. From the time when Sothern. as D’Artagnan, meets the three famous musketeers, Athos, Prothos and Aramis, and joins them in the great act of despatching the cardinal’s guards, he had the audience at his command. The drama retains the characters of King Louis, Cardinal Richelieu, Queen Anne, Buckingham. Miladi and in all has thirtythree* speaking parts. The Queen's maid of honor Gabrielle. with ail the purity of a modern heroine, with whom D'Artagnan falls in love, lends moral tone to the French story and assists In piling up sympathy for the success of D’Artagnan, who finally triumphs over all his enemies and defeats the plots of foxy Richelieu himself. The play when given in its entirety requires two nights for its performance, hut it has been condensed with keen Insight and fine appreciation so that nothing is really lost. While the scenes at times are a trifle more than tableaux, the heart of the story is so accurately set forth as to maintain a wonderful continuity of thought and action. Whole chapters of the book are put into a single speech and It is done so well as to become a powerful adjunct to dramatic exigency. Sothern's recital of his wonderful adventures in quest of the queen's diamonds which Buckingham had carried off to England, is given without a break and its strength is In the cumulative climax that came as near sweeping the audience off its feel as anything spoken or done iu the I'lrt V"he success of the production owes no little praise to the number of excellent people

in the supporting cast." Edith Crane, as Miladi. is especially to be commended for her artistic, as well as theatric portrayal, end Katharine Florence, as the impulsive and loyal Gabrielle, received her share of the honors. Then there were Rowland Buckstone. O. I’. Flockton, Arthur lawrence an<| the three musketeers, all coming in for flattering app.ause. Rebecca, Warren's Queen Anne, was a prettv sketch, as full of color as any exhibit of the company. It is to be regretted that “The King's Musketeer” could not have been given for both performances here, but “A Colonial Girl," the play for to-night, is said to be as brilliant in comedy as last night's play Is powerful in heroics. Grand—"Mr. Barnes of New York." “Mr. Barnes of New York" took nearly half the night to make his bow to a big Indianapolis audience, being introduced by the capable members of the Grand Stock Company. There are five acts in the play and there were several minutes’ wait between the scenes, as well as between the acts. Tin* audience, despite the bitterly cold evening, was large and appreciative, the appreciation extending to the strikingly attractive stage settings as well as to the abilities of the east. The scene at Monte Carlo in the third act was probably the most beautiful of them all, although the sea view' in the "ii Piscatori Inn" scene, in the first act, was very fetching. "Mr. Barnes of New York" was well portrayed by Mr. Hansel, who instilled into his characterization of the title role a vivacity and American insouciance that made him a winner from the start, and the audience was with him when he walked out of the railway station after “starving" the English heiress into accepting his attentions. The English girl. Miss Anstruther, is about the best work that talented young woman. Miss Daily, has done yet. Mis Daily is fast becoming a great favorite with the patrons of the Grajid. Miss Shannon had a difficult role. tlipt of Marina, the Corsican girl, who has sufh a struggle between love and hate. She rose to her best in the fourth and fifth acts and gave a vivid portrayal of a most intense character. Miss Bridges as Lady Charted*, and Miss Berg, as Maud, her daughter, who is anxious for someone to marry her mama, were happy thoughts. Mr. Kirkland, whose photos were distributed as souvenirs last night, was at his best again in the difficult and thankless part of Count Danella. Mr. Kirkland’is an artist in these suave, oily roles and has seldom appeared to better advantage. Mr. Patton improves vastly over his other roles in the part of Lieutenant Anstruther, and depicts exceedingly well the high-bred English gentleman. Mr. Conger was good in the duel scene and funny—very funny—as the railroad guard. “Barnes of New York” is a play that, shows the entire stock company to the best advantage, and could not he presented so well except by such a well-bal-anced company. All the characters were in good hands. The play will draw big houses this week. Park—“ When London Sleeps.” “When I>ondnn Sleeps,” one of James H. Wallick s pretentious melodramas, opened at the Park Theater yesterday under favorable auspices, there being good houses at both performances, despite the forbidding weather. This play was seen at the Grand during an entire week last season, but it failed to make a hit, owing to certain weaknesses in the cast. The present company is in some respects an improvement over that of last year, while in others it is not so good. Neva Harrison assumes the principal role of Queenie Carruthers. the slackwire walker, who inherits a fortune and incidentally a large "hunch” of misfortunes, such as would terrify a person in real life. Miss Harrison might have done better if she had not been handicapped by a severe cold, but there is room for doubt on this I>oint. It is likely she has mistaken her vocation in life. Miss Ceni Havre as Signora Roherti Jonesio. wife of the circus proprietor. is very good indeed. Samuel B. Steel impersonated her husband, Signor Robert! Jonesio, alias Boh Jones, and treated many laughs with his comicalities of speech and manner. George E. Murphy, who will lie remembered as one of the best members of last season’s company, repeated his former success in his inimitable portrayal of the Hon. Bertie Broomhead, a London chappie. Marion Wilson, as Maud De Frere, is a valuable assistant to Mr. Murphy. and together they produce a lot of fun of the hilarious variety. Helen Jones as Hilda Corrode, the female marplot of the piece, and Frank 1. Frayne as Sammy Blyth, one of the funmakers, are both worthy of special mention. Mr. Wallick has a habit of elaborately staging his productions, and “When London Sleeps" is no exception. The settings for the circus scene, the interior of Helllwell mansion and the temple scene at the close of the fourth act are all excellent examples of stagecraft. The transformation effect in the third act, in which a house catches fire, the heroine climbs out of an attic window' with a child in her arms, and the whole is suddenly swept to one side, revealing the same pair traversing a telegraph wire over the "sleeping city," while the aforesaid house continues to burn at one side of the stage, is exceedingly realistic. “When London Sleeps" will continue until Thursday manner, when it will he replaced by “At Plney Ridge." a romantic Southern play, which gives promise of being a “good thing," if the advance notices can be at all depended on. Empire—lrwin Brother*. “frwin Brothers’ Burlesquers,” which opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon to a crowded house is essentially the same entertainment that made such a success when it opened the season. The principal addition is the acrobatic act of Scott and Wilstyi. It is full of original work, so neatly dona that many of the difficult feats it contains are hard to catch at first sight. The comedy thrown in is genuine and not overdrawn. Louise Carver and Pauline Black continue to get the biggest laugh produced in the olio, and their writhing victims still try to look happy and vainly insist that the man in the next seat is the one selected for sacrifice. Lillian Waltone, contralto, haa added illustrations to her songs, all of which are descriptive and well suited to her rich tones. Other features of the olio and none below the average, are the very clever trick cycling of Merrill and Newhouse; the Street Arab Quartet, which has taken up a better grade of songs since its last appearance; Thompson and Carter, domestic sketch, and Sidney and Belmont in an eccentricity of no particular description. The rendition of the operatic selections in the closing burlesque is away beyond the standard set for extravaganza singing, with Minerva Lee, Marion Dunn, Lillian Waltone and the Street Arab Quartet leading. The other specialties, including George Sidney’s singing and the Rarrison Sisters were well received yesterday, Sidney getting three recalls. The company will remain all the week, giving the regular daily matinees. Broad hurst’* New Play. BALTIMORE, Jan. 30.-Mr. George H. Broadhurst. the author of many clever plays, produced anew one here to-night at Ford's Opera House. He calls iU“'The Last Chapter.” It is written in rather a mure serious vein man those which have preceded it from the same pen, but mingled with its pathos are many bright lines and comedy situations in sufficient number to make it both entertaining and amusing. The audience received it with enthusiasm and had all the cast and the author before the curtain several times. Alice Atherton 111. NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Alice Atherton, the actress, is seriously 11! at the Clarendon Hotel, in Brooklyn, with congestion of the lungs and has been obliged to cancel her theatrical engagements in this city. Her condition is critical. CITY NEWS NOTES.

THE COLD WEATHER - ■—— OBSERVER AVAITENHANS OFFERS NO ENCOURAGEMENT. Say# the Cold Snap Will Continue for Several Day#—The Prediction#. ♦ “There are others,” the chief at the weather bureau admitted last night when asked if he really meant it yesterday when he said that Sunday's cold wave was probably the only one that would hold Indianapolis in its icy grasp for some time. "That was only an appetizer Sunday," he continued. "The genuine article—the 'real thing'—is now oil. For several days yet people need not get their crash suits out. Zero will he the popular loafing point of the mercury so long that the man with the worn-out coat with the big ulster collar can get back at the fellow who bought his new spring overcoat last week when it appeared that zero weather was a thing of the past.” Five degrees below zero was the coldest it has been this winter in Indianapolis, the official record shows. This mark was attained Sunday morning. Only once before this winter has the mercury fallen anything like the same depths and that was on Dec. 14. Leaving the zero point, yesterday morning early, the thermometer showed thirteen degrees above at 7 o'clock, and ventured up to sixteen degrees above before the cold wave resumed the attack. At noon it was ten degrees above. The temperature was nine degrees at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, and had fallen to seven degrees by 6 o’clock. At 7 o’clock last night it was six degrees and the thermometer was working toward the cypher again at 9 o'clock when Observer Wappenhans shut up the observatory and left the weather to run things to suit itself. The man who poured lumps of ipe from his washstand pitcher yesterday morning, peeped at the weather through a hole scratched In the frosting on the window pane, dressed in a room a little warmer than an icebox and then sat down to a breakfast half cooked over a listless gas range, tooK little consolation in the fact that at White river, on the northern shore of Bake Superior, the bottom had fallen out of all the mercurial thermometers while the others showed forty-eight degrees below. He doubtless had a thermometer on his back porojt that had a reputation tor \eracity an 1 which registered anywhere from zero to thirty-eignt below. Although he hail not moved faster thar. a walk lor ten years, he scampered past cross-streets, down which the breath of the cold wave came, like a boy after the dismissal of school. He was startled shortly after noon to see the coldwave flag again flying from the observatory, meaning that there would be a fall of at least eighteen degrees within twenty-four hours and with sixteen degrees above as the highest the thermometer had attained after its Sunday setback. He commented savagely on the remissnes.s < f the weatherman in permitting the thermometer to have a relapse and invested in quinine and stimulants as a "forewarned-is-forearmed” protection against the recurrence of the grip. To the coal man he sent a message demanding that a wagonload of coke or coal be sent up to the house to supplement the gas pressure, and that two more be sent to his office double-qult'k to augment his grate fire there. During the day he wore his overcoat indoors as well as outdoors and when he retired iast night perhaps piled it on top of all the bedclothes he could find. During the day there Were more than the usual numlwir of demands at police headquarters and at the various missions for shelter. There is no prospect for immediate telief in the matter of weather moderation. The predictions are for continued cold following this second cold wave end, according to the observer's best information, it will be several days before the thermometer may be expected to manifest persistent ambition to rise In the world.

In Missonrl and Kansas. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Jan. 30.—Unusually cold w’eather prevails throughout western Missouri and the State of Kansas. In Kansas City, where thO mercury registered zero at 9 o'clock this morning the temperature steadily fell until 1 o’clock this afternoon, when the government weather bureau officials recorded four degrees below zero. This is the coldest weather experienced in western Missouri since February, 1895. At 10 o’clock to-night the mercury is at zero. Reports from many points in Kansas indicate that cattle on the ranges are suffering severely from the cold, and that there may be some losses. Abilene reports five degrees below zero; Kinsley, four below': Larned and Florence, three below, and Dodge City, three below'. Fort Scott reports a considerable fall of snow and a regular blizzard, which has driven people from the streets and stopped street cars Other points in Kansas report considerable snow, with a high wind and some delay to railway traffic. Record Breaker in Colorado. DENVER, Col., Jan. 30.—The snowstorm has continued all day over the greater part of Colorado and is said by old settlers to be a record-breaker. Nearly all the mountain railroads are blockaded and in most cases the companies have given up the hope of opening them unttl after the storm subsides. Snow slides are reported at many places, but the only loss of life so fatknown was at Apex, Avhere .the family of William Rudolph were buried under tons of ice and snow\ The temperature has been falling all day. At 9 o’clock to-night it w r as near zero in Denver, with a prospect of going considerably below before morning. A Rio Grande passenger train hud a narrow escape from destruction about a mile from Red Cliff to-day. Engineer Russ saw a slide coming down the mountain side and reversed his engine in time to save the train, though the engine was derailed, the tender demolished and the fireman slightly hurt. Miioli Suffering’ at Chicago. CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Ten degrees below zero at 10 o’clock to-night marked the lowest notch reached by the mercury this winter in Chicago. The oold is growing more intense and by morning it is probable that 15 or 18 below.' zero will be reached. The mercury has hugged the under side of the zero mark nearly all day, the highest tempo! at ure being 3 above at 1 p. m. The intense cold has caused grestt suffering among the poor, but although frozen hands, feet and faces have been numerous, no deaths attributable to the cold have occurred as yet. The weather office predicts that the extreme cold will continue at least two days longer. Merely n Cold Spell. ST. IXJCIS, Jan. 39.—What promised at noon to-day to be a northern blizzard, with plenty of snow, changed to merely a spell of cold weather by nightfall. Snow fell during the afternoon to a depth of two inches and ceased, but a strong wind from the north blew steadily, lowering the thermometer to three degrees above at 7:30 tonight. ♦ AY ILL CONTINT E COLD.

CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—The mahogany lumber yards of J. C. Raynor, Morgan and Fulton streets, and the box factory owned by F. C. Austin burned to-day, causing a loss of $325,900. The fire spread from the lumber yards to the boarding house owned by Mrs. Smith. The house was destroyed and the twenty-five lodgers were driven into the street with the temperature at zero in their night clothes. Ten of the firemen were on the roof of Austin’s box factory when it caught fire. The flames broke through the roof beneath their feet and they were forced to jump to the ground. All of them escaped without any serious injury. A few minutes later the roof fell in. Frank Meyer, a watchman in the J. Ct Raynor building, was severely injured in jumping from the second story of the building. Wuter Plugs Were Frozen. CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Fourteen families were rendered homeless to-night by a fire which destroyed a three-story tenement house at 124-126 Fifty-second street.

RICHEST ORE IN THE WORLD. Gold Strike in Colorado That >lay Yield Millions of Dollar*. DENVER, Col.. Jan. 30.-A special to the News from Cripple Creek, Col., says of the recent strike in the Isabella mine: “Your correspondent saw chunks of siivanite that were three inches thick that were solid metal and chunks of oxide metal. No assays have been made on the cock; it is not necessary, but pieces of the free sold ore, if ore it can be called at all, run over $500,000 per ton. Joining this metallic body, there is six feet of quartz that will run from $lO,000 to $20,000 per ton."’ Manager Kilburn said: ‘I do not like to say anything that will excite the people any more than they are at present. The metallic body has doubled in size both ways since yesterday morning. Some of the pieces of ore are 80 per cent. gold. 1 never saw such mineral, and J do not believe that its like wus ever mined in this or any other camp in the world. We have had no assays taken on the rock. Rut a ton of it could be picked out that would run anywhere from $50,000 to $200,000 per ton.’ Armed guards are watching the property. The strike was made in the new ore body at a depth of 820 feet below the surface. The chute has been cut. at the seventh level 200 feet above and also at the fifth. At the latter place an assay was obtained in the breast of the drift in two feet of ore that went better than SI,OOO per ton. There is at least blocked out in the one level between the ninth and seventh levels $5,(00,000 worth of ore.” HE WORE WHISKERS. Missouri University Student Expelled for Violating' Club Law.

Because of continued failing health, Mrs. J. B. Meyers. a wealthy visitor from Pittsburg, committed suicide by jumping into the ocean from the end of Young's ocean pier about noon to-day. Mrs. Meyers, accompanied by her maid, went on the pier shortly after 12 o’clock walking to the end of the structure. As they neared the end Mrs. Meyers walked slightly In advance of her maid. As the latter's attention was temporarily attracted in an opposite direction. Mrs. Meyers c limbed ov< r the railing and jumped into the sea.

A woman whoj> takes chances with IyV \Kf/ her health is sim- 1 y i ply gambling with J 1 the Black Devil of / Disease. If she has any weakness or de- —=**73^ rangement "of the delicate organism of her sex, to rely upon an unskilled, inexperienced, general practitioner is to risk her health upon a gambler's hazard. Her only real safety is in the careful well-digested advice of a physician who has had wide, special experience in diseases of this particular class. The chief consulting physician of the famous Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., Dr. R. V. Pierce, has devoted thirty years of special study and practice to the weaknesses and diseases peculiar to women. His grand medicine, the “Favorite Prescription,” has done more to restore perfect health and strength to women than any other medicine. It is the only proprietary medicine devised for this purpose by an educated, skilled specialist in woman’s peculiar ailments. A woman writing to Dr. Pierce regarding herself may feel absolute assurance of receiving, free of charge, the best professional advice by means of which the most obstinate of these delicate troubles may be promptly relieved and permanently cured. Barbra A. Mudd, of Indian Creek, Monroe Cos., Mo., writes: ”I am very thankful for what Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription did for me. I was all broke down from nervous prostration, but since taking this medicine 1 have had more relief than from all the doctors. Your * Favorite Prescription ’ did me a world of good.”
