KnitUali’ii—“The Jolly Mnsketeera.” There Is no use attempting to deceive anybody by claiming that "The Jolly Musketeers" is thO greatest comic opera that ever came to town on the "choo-choo" cars, for it Isn’t, but laying aside all persiflage and, likewise, badinage and coming down to Jefferson De Angelis, the twinkling star of the new' organization, one might well Inquire w’here can he be duplicated. De Angelis is not exactly the whole show, but the large audience which greeted "The Jolly Musketeers" at Knglish’s, last night, would have had a dry meal on the warmed-over operatic husks in this comic concoction had not De Angelis acted as chief cook, kept tb fire going and constantly stirred the bnfh. Every time De Angelis sting a song he was not permitted to retire until Ins breath gave out, and when he danced he was kept at It until nis legs got tangled. Francis Wilson makes fun with his falsetto top notes and his favorite imitation of a cat swallowing a lump of gristle; De Wolf Hopper has his screech and his patronizing laugh, but De Angelis has only his legs and a pair of comic opera boots with cuffs on them. The boots sag in the middle like a woman without a corset and they are as funny as a comic valentine. Take those pelican-peaked boots from De Angelis und he would be as much lost as a “ooon" comedian without his "coal black lady." They jabber incessantly, like an intoxicated Irishman. They maintain a running fire of quips, and laughs, and entertaining chatter all the while the little comedian is before an audience. If they run down or show signs of becoming blase, De Angelis yanks them up and injects enough tlz into their nerveless ribs to keep them yelping with funny cracks for another encore. De Angelis might be aptly termed--the man with the talking boots, for it is the boots and the many angular flip-flaps, the slides and waltz steps, the heroic lunges and the drunken staggers which they execute, that has made this father of grown-up boys and prospective grandparent a comic opera star. It is only the comic face of De Angelis one sees on his lithographs in the windows, but if his manager knew his business there would also be lithographs of the De Angelis boots, for they wouid instantly set the town a-taiking. No comic opera, composer has yet taken the De Angelis measure exactly, certainly not Julian Edwards in "The Jolly Musketeer,” and the proper measure will not be taken until a song is written for his boots. De Angelis has a half dozen or more numbers in "The Jolly Musketeer," but they are really little above mediocre. The best song is given to Rensselaer Wheeler, the handsome tenor. The most attractive number is a quartet for Bertha Waltzinger, Maud Hohins, Edith Hendee and Helena Frederick, entitled "Wicked Men." These four singers captivate the audience shortly before the last linale with a dainty little bit in which Miss llendee and Miss Frederick, with their clear, young voices, arch ways and pretty dancing, make the two prima donnas resemble thirty cents. Miss Hendee especially Is one of the cleverest young persons seen here this season. Her contralto fs thrilling, and her dancing is as winning as any up-to-date Casino girl could show. She is just the sort of girl any old comic opera marquis. or his prototype in the bald-head row, would cheerfully Invite to button his shirts as long as the arrangement suited her pleasure. Harry Macdonough, a clever comedian himself, was handicapped by being kept in the shadow of the De Angelis boots. "The Jolly Musketeer” is staged with the usual lavishness employed in all produc* tions with which Ben Stevens has anything to do, and there is an excellent collection of chorus girls in bright skirts to lend color. There will be a matinee to-day and another performance to-night.

Julia Marlowe in a French Piny. PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 17.—“Colinette,” a French historical comedy, enjoyed a successful first production in this country by Julia Marlowe at the Broad-street Theater toWILL KEEP IT. Healthy Enough to Eat or Drink What He Likes. While I have an excellent constitution •nd think nothing easily effects me., I propose to keep it if possible 1 have observed for years the great number of people who complain of the bad effect of coffee, and while I can drink coffee or almost anything I want, without trouble, It Is nevertheless true that we do not use ordinary coffee at our house, but for many months have been using Postum p'ood Coffee. We find it every way preferable to imported coffee. We make it strictly according to directions for we fumd out early that it could be made to taste very flat when underboiled, but as we make it now, to use. a slang phrase, "It hits the spot." I drink it three limes a day. I inclose a list of friends who are regular users of the Postum Food Coffee. In our family we believe that good health can be used to advantage in doing business or prosecuting professional work and we propose to keep all the good health we have. If such a thing is possible, and we think one of the most Important measures is the abandonment of coffee and the use of Postum. F. W. Bland, 795 Collinsville avenue, East St. Louis, lib

night. The play is a translation by Henry Guy Carleton from the French of De Notre and Martin, the original having had a successful run at the Paris Oden last season. The period is the French restoration of 1815. and while there is a strong serious interest the comedy element predominates. The dialogue is sparkling and Miss Marlowe’s art is shown in its lighter places. There was a large audience and curtain calls w’ere responded to after each of the four acts. The supporting company, including John Blair, William Harcourt and Ida Vernon, shared in the success. Young Edison Weds Mix* Tonhcy. NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-The World announces the wedding- of Thomas A. Edison, jr., son of the. inventor, and Miss Marie lvouise Touhey, a member of the Casino Opera Company. Notes of the Stage. John Vogel, who is the head and front of "Darkest America," was in the city yesterday. He brings his big colored company to the Park a week from Monday. Miaco's City Club will play a return engagement at the Empire next week, beginning Monday afternoon. A number of new features have been added to the programme, both in the burlesques and the olio. Harry Elmer, the well-known theatrical manager, Is here in advance of "The Turtle,” about which all have heard so much, and which will be seen at English’s at a matinee and night performance next Saturday. Will J. Davis, of the Columbia Theater, Chicago, was in the city last night for a business talk with Manager Ben Stevens, of "The Jolly Musketeer" Company, which reaches Chicago shortly after the engagement here. George Bowles, advance manager of Alice Nielsen and “The Fortune Teller,” cites as an evidence of the great success of the big opera company the fact that ticket speculators In a number of Western cities went ahead and bought up the seats when the advance sale opened. By special request Mclntyre and Heath, with Hyde’s Comedians at the Park, tonight will appear in their "Georgia Minstrel" act. These comedians are very popular here as well as everywhere. There will be a great audience out this afternoon to hear Helene Mora, and the engagement will close to one of the biggest Saturday night houses of the Park's season. Bob Fitzsimmons and his company will be at the Park the first three days of next week. Mme. Modjeska’s manager has instituted a voting contest in the cities where she plays this season to determine in advance which of her plays are most desired by theatergoers. The management of English’s has sent out letters to patrons here requesting answers before the sale opens next week, and those plays receiving the largest number of votes will be the ones selected for Modjeska’s three nights and a matinee at English's, beginning Monday, Feb. 27. Modjeska’s rei>ertory includes "Camille,” "Magda,” "Antony and Cleopatra," "Macbeth" and "Mary Stuart’’ and “As You Like It." Jacob Litt, whose "Mistakes Will Happen" Company opens at English's Monday for three nights and a matinee, has arranged to star Otis Skinner next season m anew play. Skinner missed the opportunity of his life this season on account of his contract with Frohman to produce “Rosemary.” Mr. Ditt, in whose big production of "Shenandoah" Skinner played all last summer at Chicago, had secured the American rights to "The Three Musketeers," which Beerbohm Tree is playing in London, and offered to make a monster production for Skinner, but Frohman refused to release the romantic actor from the "Rosemary” obligation. A large audience will laugh at “Too Much Johnson" this afternoon at the Grand, and the stock company will appear for the last time in that comedy to-night. The production for next week Is one that will give the members of the stock company much more serious work than does Gillette s comedy. There art two of the company, however, who will be glad when this week is over, namely, Mr Hansel and Mr. Kirkland. The former has to talk almost continuously throughout the three acts of "Too Much Johnson," and the latter’s voice is about used up playing the rough part of Johnson, the Cuban planter. In "Moths" Mr. Kirkland returns to the smooth society villain which he impersonates so well.

RICHMOND POLO PLAYERS Didn't Let the Local Men Score Last Night. The Richmond polo team had a struggle last night when they met the Cycloramas in the local rink. The players of both teams fought as though for the championship, and the result was in doubt to the end of the game. The local team showed marked Improvement in its w'ork, and the absence of Fisher was not felt. Time after time the marvelous Work of Mack and Allen kept Richmond from scoring goals, while the quick work of W'ise, Wilson and Clemens kept the Richmond rush line on the move all the time. The first goal was made by Richmond in six minutes, and was the only one made during the first inning. The Cycloramas made one in the second, but, by a clever trick, Jesup, the Richmond goal tender, jerked the netting and out the ball rolled, and the only Indianapolis goal was not allowed. The second and last goal was made by Richmond almost at the end of the playing time in 14:32, after Allen had made some sensational stops. During the second inning Allen saved a goal by catching the ball between his legs and sliding to the floor, while the rest of the players fought over him, and Wise finally ran away with the ball. The line-up was: Cycloramas. Positions. Richmonds. Clemens First rush Sells Wise Second rush Stevens Wilson Center Williams Mack Half back Border Allen Goal Jesup Sore—Richmonds, 2; Cycloramas, 9. Rushes—Clemens (2), Border, Wise. Goals —Stevens (2.) Stops — Allen (12), Jesup (4.) PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Misses Nellie and Winifred Wiles have returned from Martinsville.

McGettigan, receiver of the Premier steel works, on the ground that the parties were not properly in court. The result of the decision will be the turning of all assets into a general fund for all the creditors, regardless of the mortgage under which Southwell held bonds. On behalf of the general creditors this mortgage was attacked by Receiver McGettigan because it was claimed it had not been recorded until after large debts were contracted. The Supreme Court did not pass on the validity of the mortgage. The County Franchises.

THE FRUIT CROP KILLED ♦ DEAN BROTHERS SAY EVERYTHING BI T APPLES IS RUINED. Several Buxine** Hoaxes at Greentown Destroyed by Gas Explosion and Fire—State News. S Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

In many instances the more tender limbs were frozen stiff and in some places trees cracked open. INDIANA OBITUARY. Michael Keefe, President Boone County Bar Association.

The Lnkevlew Hotel Heins' Moved Aero** to Another Hide. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WABASH, Ind., Feb. 17.—A remarkable feat in engineering is being performed at l.iake Wawasee, where the Lakeview Hotel is being moved a distance of more than a mile and a half across the ice on the lake, sktds being used in the work. The hotel, which has thirty rooms, is a substantial frame structure, and was erected two or three years ago at a promising point on the shore of the lake. Subsequently it developed that the trend of cottage building and of resorters in that quarter was toward Pickwick Park, and the proprietors were anxious to rectify the mistake made in putting up the building. It was found impracticable to move the hotel along the bank of the lake and the building could not well be torn down. The severe cold of last week solved the. difficulty. Two feet of ice, capable of sustaining a ponderous weight, now covers the lake. Immediately the hotel was started on its travels, and though there are now signs of a break-up, the immense building will be off the ice before it comes. The Lakeview Hotel was built by Eastern people, and Is the favorite resort of Judge J. H. Baker, of the. United States Court, and many others who spend their summers at Wawasee. • ANOTHER “PIPE DREAM.” Whittaker Heirs Relieve $1(0,000.000 Await* Them la Hank of England. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., Feb. 17.—Aliout a year ago the members of the Boyd family, in this city, were notitied that they were the heirs to a fortune of $10,000,000 waiting for them in the Bank of England. At the time they did not place much confidence in the affair, but they are now compelled to give the matter serious consideration. Lon and Os Boyd and a sister by the name of Roberts are the only people in this city that will receive a share of the estate. The two men are In the fire department. Their mother's name was Whittaker and the money is to

come from her great-grandfather, Capt. John Whittak#r. It is said that in 1776 the captain, who lived in Pennsylvania, purchased a large number of English bonds from a Tory, who feared that the English government was going up in smoke. These bonds were lost and later appeared in the Bank of England in the captain's name. At that time, however, the captain was dead and his heirs, not having the necessary money to push their claim, permitted it to go by default. Eight years ago the attention of Rev. TV. C. Whittaker was called to an account of bonds awaiting the estate of Capt John Whittaker and since that time he has made numerous trips to England looking into the affair. Rev. Whittaker lives in Colorado and is a cousin of the Boyds. George T. Whittaker, living at Dunkirk, is a nephew of the Boyds here, and, being a lawyer, has been assisting the Rev. Whittaker in his efforts to obtain the estate. In a letter received yesterday from him he says there is no doubt that the family will now obtain the estate. He said he had received a letter from Rev. Whittaker and that the latter had returned to this country recently to have certain papers certified by the secretary of state, and he then took a steamer back to England. He stated in the letter that he thought they would receive the money by the middle of March. It is stated that the amount each heir would receive would be in the neighborhood of sl,000,000, and there are about sixty heirs. Old Fiddlers’ Contest. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Feb. 17,-The Grand Opera House was crowded to-night as never before with more than two thousand people, and were turned away from the old-time fiddlers’ contest, given by Post G, of the Travelers’ Protective Association. There were more than two hundred contestants from the bucolic neighborhoods of western Indiana, and eastern Illinois. The prizes were donated by wholesale houses and manufacturers, and were articles of furniture and groceries, half a freight car load in all. The overture was "The Arkansaw Traveler,” with two hundred fiddlers taking part. In each of the contests the contestants were numbered, and the audience was free in its advice to the judges, who had been selected from the audience. There were the oldest and youngest, tallest and shortest, fattept and leanest, most ragged and blind, oldest lady fiddler, best fiddler on a fiddle of his own make, one-armed fiddler, and, to vary the monotony of the programme, there was a jewsharp quartet, accordion playing, and buck and wing dancing. Dr. Gray Indicted for Murder. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. BROOMFIELD, Ind., Feb. 17.—Dr. Ephraim Ellsworth Gray was indicted here yesterday by the Greene county grand jury for the murder of Mrs. Lizzie Skinner in December. The special from Jeffersonville to the Journal a few days ago stating there was a change in public opinion in thi3 county in favor of Gray is probably imaginary. The people here have at all times felt disposed to give Gray a fair and impartial trial, but at the same time they are insisting that the law, as it is on the statute books of the State of Indiana and as it is w r ritten in the hearts of men. should be enforced to the letter. Gray will be defended by Emerson Short, W. L. Slinkard, Thomas Van Buskirk and Cyrus E. Davis, while the State will he represented by Seymour Riddle, W. V.
