AMUSEMENTS. EnjclIslPsXA Carpetbagger." Tim Murphy and his talented company, with the beautifully girlish Dorothy Sherrod, began tbir ret2rn engagement in 'The Carpetbagger" at English's last night, playing to an audience that must have been discouraging to ail lovers or the "good, the true and the. beautiful" in the drama. The extraordinarily attenuated crowd that greeted these agreeable entertainers docs not speak highly for the taste of the better claws of Indianapolis theater-goers. Probably If Mr. Murphy and his coadjutors had been billed to present a vivid picture of the portion of society which has lost its veneer, the theater would scarcely have contained the reoplo eager to witness the tainted spectacle. It may be that he will proilt by the hint thus rudely given, and that next season the patrons of Knglish's will have their senses tickled by witnessing Mr. Murphy in the r?le of a fiery, conscienceless lover, while Miss Sherrod alternately amuses and thrills with dynamic kisses and an exhibition of sensuous, dreamy oriental dance, the kind that draws well in vaudeville. It is to be hoped, however, that, to borrow a simile from 'The Carpetbagger." Mr. Murphy will keep the current of his dramatic life pure and unde filed. There is nothing unduly sensational In "The Carpetbagger," although the incidents occasionally take on more than ordinary interest. It is simply a beautiful comedy ol politics, presented In a most charming manner one of thTse play that leave fragrant memories and a feeling of a night well spent. Chief interest centers in Mr. Muiphy's portrayal of Governor Crance, an Interloper from the North in the unsettled days Just following the war of the rebellion, when the unscrupulous among the victorious Nation dominated the polltios of the people who had tasted defeat and jobbed them rlsrht and left. Governor Crance began his ol'iciai career with a purEose to "feather his nest" before the storm roke which U5hercd in a regime under which the people of the South governethemselves, but he left out of his calculi, tlons the fact that he had a heart into which love might enter. Love did enter, and through his great affection for Mrs. Fulrburn the disreputable carpetbagger became a thoroughly respectable member of society. The character of Mrs. Kairburn was well sustained by Miss Nellie Yale Nelson. Miss Grace Houston had an unpleasant role in Lucy Llnford, the female lobbyist, but she appeared to advantage, nevertheless, tossed off a glass of liquor with the Oovernor and showed that she was a "good fellow." Good work was done by J. It. Armstrong as MaJ. Henderson Reynolds, John Hampton as Old John Reynolds, his father. Miss Aubrey Powell as Old Mrs. Reynolds, one of those old women who resemble a faded flower that calls up tender memories, and Ralph Thomas as Jim, a typical ante-bellum darky. The duel scene, which carries with it the moonlight elopement of the Governor's daughter (played by Miss Sherrod) and Mrs. Falrburn's son (James Maniey), the several love passages between the two young people and the ttnal triumph of love over carpet-bagging inclinations, are all excellently worked out. Even the dog played his part well and scolded the crowd for not being larger with as much grace nd more entertainment than Charles Coughlan recenly did. The two remaining performances of this exquisite comedy, this afternoon and to-night, should attract large audiences. Silas Crane's Lover Oat of the Xavy. WASHINGTON, March 21. The resignation of Cadet R. L. Petersen, of the school ship Chase, of the revenue cutter service, has been accepted by the secretary of the Treasury Department. Charges were filed against him, but his resignation was accepted without the charges being pressed. Cadet Petersen is said to be engaged to Mlsj Charlotte Crane, the actress. Miss Crane missed a performance of "Shenandoah" in Brooklyn Monday on account of a trip to Washington to intercede for her lover with Secretary of the Treasury Gage. Miss Crane, as persons familiar with contemporaneous romances' will recall, accompanied Cadet Peterson to a ball given last year by the South Carolina Military Academy, at Charleston. S. C. The patronesses of that affair, being Imbued with a large burplus stock of human charity, learned that Miss Crane was an actress, and then playing in floyt's "A Stranger In New York." The fact that she was u young woman of unimpeachable character did not enter into the eubsenuent proceedings. They ordered her off the floor. Miss Crar-v and Cadet Peterson, who was then a cadet at the United States Naval Academy, at Annapolis, both left the ballroom, and the incident gained considerable publicity. A few days later the announcement of the tethrothal of the young couple was made. Miss Crane still remained with the theatrical company with which she was connected, while Cadet Peterson was assigned to the revenue cutter Chase. The Chase is assigned at present as a school ship for that service. From all accounts Miss Crane's fiancee has not been behaving nicely cf late. He is charged with having brukn the rules aboard ship on two

occasions, and his dismissal from the service had been decider! upon, when Miss Crane heard of It.

Notes of the Sinsr. Tony pastor will celebrate to-day the thirty-fourth year of his re!pn as manager of Tony I'astor's Theater in New York. The first two weeks cf Maud Adams's Chicago engagement In "The Little Minister" at Powersa Theater averaged J2.2T a da 3. and there is talk of putting on Monday matinees. The Spanish flag hanging in the face of the audience from the barracks In the first act of "Carmen" at English's Monday night attracted no more attention than if it had been a soldier's blanket. If the stars and stripes should be hung out some right In a Madrid theater there would be a riot. Alf Grant, the talented monologue man now at the Empire, still has the trick of begging applause, though he is more goodhumored about It than formerly. A succession of his stories fell flat last night. "I must be telling them too quick." he said, with a pitying smile. The truth of the matter was. though, that he was telling them from four to twenty years too late. When "Devil's Island" was first produced in New York the ship scene aroused extraordinary interest. Several of Mr. Wallick's friends were anxious to see how It would work and he gave them an opportunity by putting them on the forward deck while the boat was In operation. Mr. Wallick, referring to the Incident, said jesterday that two or three of them were made seasick b the motion which so closely follows that of a vessel pitching on the waves. Miss Louise Freear, an English actress who has been the talk of London for her grotesque work in "Slavery" parts, arrived In New York last Saturday under contract with Oeorge L-derer for his new production. "The Man in the. Moon." which oens at the New York (lato Olympia) in April. Miss Freear is the eccentric commedienne who sprung into promlcnce in !ndon through "The Girl from Paris" and "Oh, Susannah!" performances, m which she created the roles played in this country later by Josle Hall. Miss Freear will have a broad comedj' part in "The Man in the Moon." Mrs. Marshall Pease, formerly contralto of the Clinton-avenue Congregational Church, Brooklyn, is now on an extended conceTt tour with the Danda Rossa, which gives two concerts at English's Thursday. Mrs. Pease is a native of Galveston, Tex., but at an early age went abroad to study. She was graduated with high honors from the lyipzig Conservatory, and later studied In Munich with WJIhelm Haag. Mrs. Pease has a voice of powerful dramatic power, well brought out In her repertoire of oratorio parts and songs In German. English. Italian and French. Her home is in Detroit, where her husband teaches a large vocal class. Something like twenty years ago Fanny Davenport was playing Lady Gay Spanker In "Ionlon Assurance" with great success. Those Indianapolis theater-goers who remember having seen the play will readily recall what a strong impression it made on them. Of course, as played by Miss Davenport and her company there was little attempt scenlcally at anything more than the ordinary sets used in the theaters at that time. That was before the days of scenic productions touring the country As put on by the stock company at the Grand the present week the play is made fur more attractive in many ways. The first matinee of "London Assurance" will be given this afternoon. The beauty of the Hopper company this year is sold to be Adine Rouvier, a St. Louis girl, who is rapidly rising to distinction. Mis Rouvier comes from an old St. Louis family. Her mother for many years was tho soprano of the Pilgrim Church choir. In "The Charlatan" Miss Rouvier has something else to do beside being beautiful. She Is cne of the principals, acting the role of the grand duchess, the youthful Princess Ruchkowbki. That the fair St. Iouisan possesses histrionic attainment and a voice of great range and power is indicated by the fact that she understudies Nella Rergen. If photograph count for anything Miss Douvier must be a vision of female loveJiness seldom excelled behind the footlights. She is a stately blonde. ALLEGED ACTRESS ARRESTED "Gladys Ladore," Asked to Leave the Hate. House, Made- a "Scene." A well-dressed, dashing young woman who gave her name as Gladys Von Schell, of New Y'ork, was arrested last night at the Rates House and locked in the femalo department of the police station on the charge of violating the hotel law. Earlier in the evening she had called at the Journal office and had told a long story about her "mistreatment" at the Rates House. Her husband was J. E. Von Schell, a New Y'ork traveling man, she paid, and she expected him to arrive in this city in a day or two. She had been an actress, she said. In spectacular productions, and her stage name was "Gladys Isidore." She said she had been asked to leave the Rates House and flad been insulted. She returned to the hotel and demanded her baggage. A transfer company had taken It because she could not pay the bill for hauling it. She made a "scene" and the police were called. Those who talked to her doubted her sanity, and at the hotel It was said that she had acted peculiarly and that was the reason that she was asked to give up her room. She had been at the hotel since Sunday morning and had no money. At the police station she begged not to be put in "that awful place." PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. M. A.

A Virginia JIndstonc. Washington Special. The people down In Loudon county.. Virginia, appear to have gone mad over a "madstone," which has been referred to two or three times in these dispatches. The stone was obtained from tho Indians about the middle of the last century by Ferdinand Fred, a Pennsylvania Dutchman, who moved across the Potomac and settled In Loudon county at the foot of the Catoetln mountain, not far from where the battle of Rail's Rluff was fought In the civil war. It has been handed down from generation to generation, not only as an object of Interest, but as a valuable piece of propert3. from which a steady revenue has been derived. Persons who have been bitten by animals, poisonous reptiles at.d insects, have come for miles around to bo healed by its application to the wound, and it is credited with thousands of successful cures. The faith in the stone extends to the medical fraternity, and many persons who have been bitten by dogs and other nnimals, rattlesnakes, spiders and other venomous creatures, have been sent by their physician to test Its efficacy. The stone has always belonged to the Fred family and has brought in an income of several hundred dollars a year. When the last owner died he provided In his will that the stono should bo kept forever In tho family and offered free to sufferers, but tho heirs quarreled over it. and by order of th court tho executors offered it at auction. It was sold for Jl.Vi to one of the heirs, but the rest claimed that it would bring more money if the public were allowed to bid. At the request of the executors the court set aside tho first sale and ordered it put up at auction a recond time. On Tuesday last the public as well as the heirs were allowed to bid for It, and It was finally knocked down to C. R. Turner. M. D.. of Snickersville, Loudon county, for $.e,$2.uO. Our Vice President. Washington Letter In New York Mail and Express. It is an unfortunate fact that the personal relations between our Presidents and Vice Presidents have seldom been particularly cordial. Tho former often resented the ambitions of the latter, and certainly Ignored the claims to recognition as a factor in administration policies. This was especially true of Lincoln and Hamlin, and of Cleveland and Hendricks, and of Cleveland and Stevenson, though Hendricks died before the situation got beyond mere comment. Harrison and Morton got along fairly well, because Morton made, no effort to encroach upon presidential terrltor No two men in those offices, however, have ever been so cordial In their relations and unified In their political purposes as McKlnley and Hobart. There han never been tho slightest friction between them, and the appointment of Governor Griggs, of New Jersey, as attorney general, is evidence that the President 1 glad to b surrounded with the friends of the Vice President. It is seldom that a Cabinet officer is selected at tho suggestion of the Vice President, or that some of the most Important presidential patronage is given out in accordance with the views of the presiding officer of tho Senate. In view of these circumstances, it can be assumed that the President's vacation at Thomasville Is not going to be seriously interrupted if the subject of tho vice presidency is the only matter up for discussion there. To Color Easter Ebtfs. Philadelphia Times. I have been asked to'glve some directions for the coloring of Easter eggs and have made Inquiries among my friends who have children, and the best method, according to my Judgment. Is as follows: Fill a large kettle with cold water, drop in the eggs and place them upon the stove. When the water has boiled for ten minutes remove them. Rv using cold water they heat gradually and are not apt to crack. Several days bcforo this process put a little of these dyes into small bottles ard fill them up with water: Eiscne, yellow, green, blue, scarlet, violet and orange. A spoonful of yellow dye Is first placed In a small dish; roll a warm egg over and over In it and when it is evenly dyed place It upon a paper to dry. When all the yellow eggs that are wanted are secured, use another d3e In the same manner. Tretty baskets for the eggs are made by covering pasteboard shapes with white cotton batting and tying with narrowribbon bows. The light-colored eggs may be finlaned with Inscriptions In darker colors or ornamented with bronze or gold powder. The baskets may be sprinkled with metallic flitter, which adds to their effectiveness. Result of the lleef Scandal. Washington Special. One of the natural results of the beef scandal is ati nrtlcle in El Tiempo, a daily newspaper printed at Caracas. Venezuela, which calls attention to the poisonous food that is given to the American army. "The Yankee provisions." it says, "are replete with poisonous adulterations and are dig glng a grave for every consumer. The butter, lard, codfish, cheese, ham and every thing imported from the United States is a menace to health." There Is a good deal more of the same sort, which is enough to frighten the people.

FORT WAYNE, Ind., March 21.The J. F. Schell Loan and Investment Company, organized to loan money on farm property. Is in difficult!. The president of the com pany Is J. F.

Resides this there is an indebtedness to the White National Rank of $20,Qj0, fully secured by collateral, and to John W. White, John P. Evans and Dr. Sledd in divers sums. There is said to be satisfactory security for most of the loans In the hands of the note holders. The di rectors gave Schell notes signed in blank to use In raising money temporarily for loans until Eastern capitalists advanced money on mortgages and Schell has negotiated these notes. These farmers, who are now old men. will probably lose their farms and are finan cially ruined. The concern did a flourishing business and declared two 10 per cent, divi dends, which encouraged the farmers to sign more blank notes Joseph Reichart, of Milam township, will lose his farm. His farm was mortgaged for $3.C00 in the Union Central, of Cincinnati, bearing 7 per cent, interest. Schell induced him to make a loan at 6 per cent.; Reichart wanted some more monej', executed a new mortgage for $l,O0, and Schell agreed to pay off the $3,000 due Union Central and see that the mortgage was canceled.

A paragraph In the Journal Saturday announced the parole by Governor Mount of Augusta Schmidt, of Lafayette, The Mrs. Augusta Schmidt referred to Is tho German baroness, of this place, convicted of killing Oscar Walton, one of her tenants, In 1893. Mrs. Schmidt is the daughter of Raron Johann Schinling, who died at sea In coming to America in 1S55. Augusta being then two years old. Her mother married Walter Hooper, of this city, a well-to-do wheelwright. Mrs. Hooper died In 18S9 from lockjaw, caused by running a rusty nail In her fcot, leaving an estate of $00,000. Relatives contested the will on the ground that Augusta was not a legitimate heir, and most of the property was "lawcd" away. After four years' litigation, Mrs. Schmidt had nothing left but forty-acre farm near the town of Walton, north of here, and a business room in Kokomo, the latter heavily mortgaged. In financial distress, she, with her husband and three children, occupied a half of the little farmhouse, Oscar Walton and his aged parents, tenants, living In the other half. As a result of a quarrel over the division of crops, Mrs. Schmidt shot Walton through the brain with a revolver. At the trial she pleaded self-defense, claiming she was repelling an attempted criminal ossault. but conviction followed, and the lawyers got the little farm for defending her, leaving the family penniless. She began her ten-year term In 1?'04, and had served half the time when the pji role was granted by Governor Mount.

Special to the Indians clis Journal. DECATUR, Ind., March 21. N. Black burn, publisher of the NeVs in this city. was brutally assaulted last night by exccunty treasurer Dan P. Rolds. The past two weeks the News has been publishing articles charging Rolds with dishonesty while in office. The two men met last night in front of Rlackburn's residence, on Third street, and Rolds attacked Rlackburn with a club, beating him almost to death.

The Famous RloodthlrHr Indian Chief In Insane Asylum. New Tcrk Telegraph, Old Geronlmo. the last of the great Indian chiefs, and tho wickedest Apache evert known, has gotw mad and is a prisoner in an RPjium at Okla-homa. The noted warrior suffers for nothing. His quarters ore kept warm In the winter and cool In the summer. His captors begrudpe him nothingonly they wlh he would die in captivity cf else kill himself in an insane moment. vJWI cell is not barren of Implements that couiJ be used in inflicting ueath. In fplte of his seventy years of age Geronlmo would still be feared as Is a rattlesnake were he at liberty. He has murderedl scores and scores of men and always found a pleasant diversion in burning women alive, white as for torturing Innocent babe he never hesitated. Flvo times Geronlmo was captured by th United States authorities, but in some manner he always succeeded In making good his escape. For weeks he lived In an Indian Territory cave while the United States fcouIb were scouring Arizona for him. Often he lay hidden in some jrapnrQaehabli iair wnue tne soiaiers roue oy mm win hailing distance. His endurance on the back of a horst was astounding to the degree. Once he rcxlo miles without stopping, and on another occasion ran forty miles in two days to r cape from his pursuers. Starvation or ths Western heat had no terrors" for him. Ha stood them all while his comrades succumbed by the doaens around him. Thirty times the old chief had been shot by toddlers, his own men betrayed him and told him into captivity twice, but through it all he lived to terrorize the thousands of people who feared him as they would a plague. Geronlmo never foupht a battle in th open field. His tactics were those of his redskin ancestry. He never Rave an enemjr a chance for his life. Even the hardened) settlers of western Arizona trembled at th mention of his name. So terrible was he in his wrath the Mexicans believed he was a god. and they sacrificed cattle to him t keep him apieased. Geronlmo lived with his band in the alkali desert, that part ot the country which kllh everything animate which tries to cross it excpt an Apache Indian. He knew every Inch of the desert and he used to lay at its mouth, lying in wait for the prey which traveled on the pack train trail. A single man who ever fell in with the murderous band never escaped with his life. Almost yearly he went out with his band on a "death hunt,' murdering ranchmen and their families, pillaging their houses and then burning them afterward In foolish endeavors to hide their crimes. . The !aft great death trail In which thi old chief engaged was In 1S. He and his band killed a rancher In Arizona named Recker and tortured his wife and children to death. The United States troop were put on his trail, and after following him for several hundred miles finally came .upon him on the southern border of Arizona, One of the band was carrying a white girl whlcn had been stolen from a ranch house. Ail army officer, with a single rlfie hot. killed the glrl and the horse which the Indian rode, but Geronlmo and the Indian stood over the girl and held a band of fifty men at bav for more than five hours, when the rest of tho Indians rallied and came to thelp chief's rescue. Sven years ago Geronlmo was captured and sent to Florida In captivity. A kindhearted woman tourlut met blm there and talked with blm regarding matters concerning his tribe. She was so taken with th chief that rhe finally got up a petition, signed by many fellow-tourists. tegglngthe President to nllow the old Indian to return to the desert to die. The people of Arizona rose In one vole when they heard of the petition and counter-petitioned the government to keep the old Indian where he was. saying that If he must come back to send the. klnd-hearte.I tourist ahead of him when he started and let her receive him at some Arizona ranch house. The government refused to remove Geronlmo then, but a year later be was taken back to Oklahoma In captivity and has not been out of the Territory sincft. Several month ago his mind began to fall and his guards now fiy that It has completeh given away. They do not think 1C possible that he can live the year out. . , . , Too Much of a Good Thing;.
