It was fitting that the last play of the season by the Grand stock company should bo one In which the member of tho company with pronounced artistic method should have a dominating; character. Mr. KIrkland easily holds the honors as Mark Cross in "The Idler," which was witnessed last night by another large audience. Without comparing Mr. KIrkland with other members of tho company, it must bo said that he has made a strong Impression in IndlanapolU as an artist. His characters are nearly always well thought out, and his work appeals to the intellect of his observers. In "The Idler" Mark Cress Is really the leading role, anyway, and is one of the few natural 'villain" parts that has been En during the season. It Is at one and the same time a very human role; that is, a role In which the impulses of a normal man are carefully and accurately portrayed. It is a psychological study. There is much between the lines. It la the most natural part Mr. KIrkland has essayed, and he presented it as Interestingly as he did during the week of Nov. 2D, when "The Idler" was first produced by the stock company. There la u. fine distinction between naturalness and the commonplace In art. Mr. KIrkland keeps his llne3 on the natural side, always giving his portrayal the exact tone. Mr. Hansel has another difficult role as John Harding, and he gets every bit of good there id In it. He could be better, but not much better. Ho rises well to the strong scenes and presents tho role in a way that wins approval. Mr. Pattori has a "lat" part a simcon Strong, and. in fact, he has ben favored with fat" roles all season, and he has done remarkably well for his first year on the stage. It is the same role he played in the previous production, and it la a pleasure to note that he shows improvement. Mlsa Shannon dominates the female side of the play as Lady Hardlnp. She has a most womanly role, and plays it with the same uniform tone that has marked her work during tho reason and made more call. for her photograph than any other member of the company. Miss lierg is as dainty as a Dresden doll In the first act as Miss Merryweathcr and does some of her most pleasing work of the season during thH nlay. Mi.-s Dally as Mrs. Stanmore and Miss Bridges as Misj Cross help greatly to enlicn the plry. as does also Mr. Sheldon as General Merryweathcr. '"The Idler" will continue the rest of the week and close the season at the Grand. Eng-Usba MIm Arthur's Double mil. In "Pygmalion and Galatea" at English's last night Miss Arthur gave an exhibition of all that is refined and delicate and intellectual In the gentle art of acting. Her portrayal of the mythological Galatea was on-j which those who saw her will remember and cherish until her next appearance in Indianapolis. While her Clorinda Wildairs was a warm-spirited and absorbing portrayal that sent away the large Wednesday night audience singing her praise, it was really careless compared with the perfection of art which absolutely fascinated the meager audience last night. Only a handful of admirers turned out to witness the douhle bill offered last evening, but this was really no surprise to thoe who have watched tho fickle hi mor of Indianapolis audlencc-5.

hera are ignorant of Miss Arthur's reputatijn. Upwards of 2Sf ?Jw Miss Arthur's V Lady of Quality." and all of them will admit that she was certain to afford additional pleasure In any bill nhe might offer, but thr was no enthusiasm for the old play which was to bo her principal performance last night, and the result was further evidence that the play is the thing and not the artist. Alter Miss Arthur herself has become j-opular she v. ill have an audience for anything she may select, the same as Julia Marlowe or any other favorite. Those who can recall Mary Anderson's Galatea were not slow to admit last night that Miss Arthur cave a performance affording Infinite mere pleasure. Her musical voice was a Joy In itself, and her reading of the lines was classic harmony. In this respect it was a veritable surrri.so to those who had not always llk?d her reading of Clorlnda's part the first nlf lit. The Thomas Bailey Aldrich little twoscene play of "Mrcdes" as an afterpiece rhowed how easily Miss Arthur could work a ccmplete chancre in her physical appearance and entirely subordinate her personality to a n! The three characters which she portrayed in. this city denote wonderful possibilities for thLs actress, and it will not require year3 for her to win out in Indianapolis. The type machine made the writer say yesterday that Miss Arthur was tired during the murder scene in "A Lady of Quality." It should have said she was "tried," a very different thing. Miss Arthur seems never tired. She acts the most thrilling emotional scenes with the ease of peaceful comedy. No shadow ever crosses her face to denote that she is weary or straining to reach a point. Some actresses make such unsightly faces in their stroner emotional scenes, dropping their Jaw and frowning1 and agonizing until they are really ridiculous. No expression Is ever seen on Julia Arthur's face that does not fit the thought. Her intelligence U her groat strength, and it is her evident brains that cause all who know her to predict a great future.

They Are Giilnp the Taxing Offlccrs Much Trouble Till Year. "The matter of assessing building and loan stock is bothering tax officers these days." said Township Assessor Saulcy yesterday. "The Supremo Court has decided that this stock is taxable, and now the question how to get hold of it. Very little building und loan stock Is being given in for taxation this year. Of course, the only way tax ofliccrs can be sure of how much stock a man holds in a building and loan association Is to examine the books, and that I am afraid the associations will oppose. The Supreme Court, however, has decided that the assessor or auditor has a right to examine the books of any corporation. The secretary cf one of the building and loan associations of the city recently said to me that his association would not permit the assessor, auditor or board of review to era mine its books, but would give information as to any individual's interest in the association that might be asked for. ThLs would, of course, be impracticable because wo would have to first learn the name of every man owning stock in that association and then go and ask about this particular man's stock. It would be impos5ib!o to do this. 1 am at a loss JuM at this time to know how to proceed in this matter. The only possible way 1 can see out of tho difficulty is to compel the secretory of the associations to give the names of their stockholders and the amount of stock they own. The court gives us the right to cite secretaries of corporations to appear in court and show cause why they should not gWo certain information, and this may have to bo resorted to. "Our deputies call on people who make returns of a certain number of shares of building and lean stock and the value of them, hut do not give the name of the association. Tho result Is wo are unable to ascertain whether the statements are truthful or not. We are having a great deal of trouble in making pecplo understand that those who own shares in building associations as borrowers are not expected to pay taxes on this stock. We frequently find wn;re such stock is given in as 'credits.' when in fact it should be placed on the lists as Indebtedness and not taxable. "Another mistake members of building and loan associations make is when the deputies ask members as to their shares and the value they give the face value instead of the actual amount paid in. For instance, one man answers that he has eight shares valued at ?S0O, when, perhaps, he has paid In only or $X. These eight shares will, as a matter of fact, not be actually worth the full $W until the amount deposited with the association, together with its earnings, amounts to People should be taxed only on tho amount due them on their shares from the association as shown by the books on April 1. Another thing that makes it hard for the township assessor is the complaints that aro made at this office by small shareholders in building associations people who deposit with the association 25 or 50 cents a week with the hope that they may some time bo ablo to purchase a little home. They come here with a pitiful story and ask if they will be compelled to pay on these small amounts. 1 have. to tell them that I must follow- out the letter of the law and must assess the email as well as the large shareholders." SHOT FIRED AT A NEGRO. McColgen First Had a Dispute with Liveryman L'hl. Calvin Uhl, who has a livery stable on West Maryland street, and a colored man, William McColgen. living at 10 South Missouri street, were arrested last night by Patrolmen Warren and Jackson. Uhl is charged with assault and battery and McColgen with cruelty to animals. Yesterday morning McColgen hired a horse and buggy of Uhl, and about 9 o'clock last night one of the stable employes reported to the proprietor that tho colored man was killing the horse by hard driving. Some one went after the animal and brought it to the stable. Then there was trouble. McColgen claims that Uhl hit him over the head several times with a heavy club, whereupon he yelled. A large crowd gathered and McColgen ran across the street, when some one fired a shot from a revolver at him, tho bullet passing close -to his head. The officers arrived and sent both men to the station. Uhl and some friends who visited the police station denied any connection with the shooting and nald they thought the officers did it. McCo'gen said the shot was fired from the stable. Funeral of Itev. John F. lsensee. Tho funeral service of Rev. John F. lsensee will be held this afternoon at his late residence, 414 North California street. Ho was born In Wittenberg, Germany, Sept. 18, 1S15, and was educated for the ministry in the universities of Magdeburg and Berlin. He came to this country as a missionary in mi, and settled in Jackson county, this State. After two years service thero he moved to Indianapolis and organized the First Evangelical Lutheran Church. In connection with his ministerial duties he taught school, and many inlluential citizens were at one time pupils of his. He left this city In 105 for Dearborn county and organized a church and school. This pulpit he occupied for twenty-three years, and. on account of failing health, in 173 retired and removed to this city, where he has since lived quietly, always retaining a lively interest In tho affairs of his church. He was a man marked by great human sympathy, and, combined with his genial disposition, won many friends. He was twice married. A wife, three sons and five daughters survive him. The children are: Albert F. W.. O. J. lsensee, Mrs. F. Matthe, Mrs. E. Kline and Miss Thurza lsensee, of this city; Mr3. S. Burkhard, of Brooklyn. N. Y. ; Mrs. F. Darius, of Seymour, and Mr. Ed lsensee, of Ventura, Cab Memorial Tree Dedication. A committee of women representing the Memorial Tree Association was in consultation with Park Superintendent Power yesterday afternoon regarding the proposed dedication of the memorial trees In Riverside Park on May 20. The Park Board has Just completed tho work of planting the trees. There aro three hundred of them in all, principally sugar maple, Norway maple, horse chestnut, linden. larch and sweet gum. and they cover an area of about four acres. Tho trees will all be used as monuments in memory of the dead and in years to come they will form an Interesting feature of the city. Whenever a tree is chosen as a monument an engraved memorial plate of brass or aluminium will be placed on its trunk in a manner that will not interfere with tho growth of the tree. The association will arrange an Impressive programme for the Memorial day dedication, which will bo announced later on. An Eagle for the Park. While making the rounds In Garfield Park yesterday Superintendent Power, of the Park Board, was surprised to come across a large eagle Imprisoned in a wooden cage. Mr. Power says that he has no idea where the bird came from, and Is at a loss to know vhat to do with It. He says he can't make up his mind whether It would be better to move The Squirrel from University Park to Garfield Park or The Eagle from Garfield Park to University Park. The superintendent feels that, as these are tho only zoolcglc.il attractions possessed by the trard. they should be brought together at all events- He believes that In union there Is . strength, but In this case he Is afraid that The Eagle would be the only one strengthened. Landers 3Iay Not Recover. George Landers, a brakeman cn the Vandalla Railway, while boarding the way car of a train near the transfer station west of the river, slipped and fell under the wheels. The riht leg was almost completely severed above the knee and the ankle of the left leg was so b;;dly cruehed that amputation was necessary. After the accident Landers was placed on the way-car and taken to th? Kentucky-avenue crossing, where the ambulance was in waiting. He was then removed to St. Vincent's Hospital by Dr. Maclvor. The great loss of blood and the rhock rendered Landers's condition such that Jast night it could not be said whether or not he would recover. Ills home Is Lirr.edale, Ind. From the Good Shepherd Home. The police were asked yesterday to look for two girls, Mabel Collin, of Richmond,

Ind., and Helen Rodgers. of Terre Haute, who left the Home of the Good Shepherd yesterday afternoon and, it is thought, came ui town. WELTS ON HIS BACK.

Elmer Thorp Claims He Wan Cruelly "Whipped by a Teacher. About a month ago Alexander Thorp, living at 12C6 Bismarck avenue, was arrested upon complaint of the truancy officers and brought before Justice F. M. Hay and fined for not sending his boy to school. Last night Thorp was around town looking for some officer to attend a complaint which he makes against Miss Mary Connor, principal of school No. 4! We?t Indianapolis, and the Janitor of the building. Yesterday morning the boy, Elmer Thorp, aged thirteen, did not attend school. However, he went in the afternoon and was met by his teacher. Miss Ward, who asked the reason of his absence In the morning. The boy said, and the siatcment Is corroborated by the father, that he did not feel well, and as a further excure said that one sister was about to have the measles and another had the disease. According to the lad. Miss Ward said. "Well, that don't go," and sent him downstairs to Miss Connor, the principal. Young Thorp said, when he arrived at the door of Miss Connor's room he was grabbed by the janitor, George McKinney, and by him held while Miss Connor whipped him with several switches, raising large welts on his back and also drawing blood. He F-.iid he was given no opportunity to make an explanation. Thorp is much angered at the proceedings and claims he will bring action against the principal nnd the Janitor for assault and battery. He also claims that a boy named Carl Huffman has been severely whipped by Miss Connor and that the boy is covered with marks of the whip.

HftRD BLOW AT ELOPERS STRIXGEST MARRIAGE LAW PASSED DV WISCONSIN' LEGISLATURE. 1VI11 Tut an End to 3Iilwnukee' Reputation hr the Gretuu Green for Certain Chica-goans. MADISON. Wis., April 27. Unless Gov. Scofleld should Intcrpcie his veto, the Milwaukee quick-marriage Industry will soon come to an end, and impresjsionable daughters of Cblcago parents will net so easily be . led to the justice shop or the always ready clergyman's residence to have the matrimonial knot tied. The True marriage license bill was finally passed by the lower house of the legislature last night, the Assembly accepting the Senate amendments, and thus sending tho measure to the Governor. As the bill was passed it provides that every couplo who desire to marry must procure a license from the county clerk at least live days before the ceremony can be performed. In cases where one of the parties may be on a deathbed or when, for any other reason, it is necessary that the ceremony shall be performed without tho license and without the five days delay, they may be married by securing an order from the judge of any court of record permlting an Immediate marriage. As introduced, the bill did not contain the five days' clause. The discussion which its Introduction brought out showed that the bill would not prevent elopements from Chicago if the parties could be married on the same day on which tho license was obtained. Accordingly. Mr. True amended the bill while it was in committee and inserted tho five-day clause, which, it is believed, will be an effectual bar to quick marriages. When the bill reached the Senate it met its first .serious opposition. In the lower house the committee on state affairs reported against it by a majority of one, but the house, nevertheless, passed it. When it reached tho Senate a lobby appeared from Milwaukee, composed of justices of the peace and the friends of clergymen there who had received a eubstantlal Income from the marriage of Chicago couples. The bill was subjected to every known argument and some clever work was done on the floor against It. This resulted In the Senate once refusing to pass the bill, but yesterday that action was reconsidered and the bill was passed. The amendments adopted, thouRh, made it necessary for the bill to go again to the lower house. When It was considered thero to-night only three members voted against the amendments. Following is the text of the bill as finally passed: "Section 1. Not less than live days previous to persons belns joined in marriage a license shall be obtained from the county clerk of the county In which the female resides, or, if not a resident of the Slate, then the county clerk of the county where the marriage is to take place. "Sec. 2. When application is made In person the applicant shall sign and verify a statement before such clerk that th parties applying for license are of legal ape, and that no other legal impediment to marriage exists. Or such applicant may go before any officer authorized by law 'to administer oaths and make and verify a like statement in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. Upon the receipt of such statement and application for license and the requ'red fee the cierk shall, if such statement is in proper form, forward to such applicant the required license. "Sec. 3. If any person intending to marry shall be under the age of twenty-one years If a male or under the ape of eighteen years if a female, and shall not have had a former wife or husband, the consent In person or in writing of the parent or guardian having custody of such minor shall le given to the county clerk before a license for roarrijge shall be granted, and If such consent is in writing It shall be signed and verified by the parent or guardian in the presence of two subscribing witnesses. "Sec. 4. The county clerk shall file and preserve In his office all sworn statements made for the purpose of procuring licenses, and shall also, at once, upon the granting cf a license, post In an accessible place in hi3 office for public notice the names of th parties thereto. The limit of time for which a license shall remain In force shall be one. month from date of issue, after which time it shall become void. "Sec. 3. The county clerk shall receive ns a fee for each llccr.se grunted the sum of 53. which rhall become a part cf the funds cf the county. If any clerk shall In any other manner than provided for In this act issue or sign any marriage llcf.r:?e he shall forfeit and pay a sum not exceeding $1.(m) to and for the ure of the partita aggrieved.

The passage of tho True marriage license bill puts a stop to a practice which for years has been a disgrace to Wisconsin. It tounds the death kr.eli to Irresponsible marriages and puts an end to Milwaukee's reputation a a Gretna Green. It has been a long fight and at times a bitter one, in which all the reputable elements of society have been ranged on tha sido of good morals, while on tho other have been the marrage brokers, who waxed rich and fat off the fees of runaway couples. For the last five or ix years Milwaukee has been the scene of innumerable marriages of persons who gave no more thought to the solemnity of the marrage rites nor to the responsibilities they were assuming than they did to the chance of obtaining tho next meal. Only recently Dr. Cae. whei appeared Ivefore the legislative committee iu favor of the True bill, showed by statis tics that thousands or persons had ccme here from other State in the last year the majority from Chicago and boon married by ministers and justices whosa chief interest seemed to be in tho fees received. In fact. Dr. Coon stated, there existed a regular system of tips, by winch both clergymen and Justices of the peace sought to curry favor with the hackmen in order that they might bring to them all couples seeking to be married. With the justices no questions were asked osdde from a few of a pcrfui.ctory kind. Tho fee was the main thing. The clergymen went a little further and placed the parties on record as to their age and legal right to marry, but that was all. A fear white lies were sullicient for both.elorcrs and clergymen in most of tho cases. It had become quite the customary thing to Include a marriage ceremony with a trip on the excursion boats up from Chicago. It was simply an incident, like visiting the breweries or taking a look over the bay. Among tho most notable marriages which gave Milwaukee her reputation as a Gretna Green were those of the daughter of CWef Justice Fuller with young Aubrey, when the couple wero united Just before midnignt br a Justice of the peace a marriage whlchj ended in the divorce courts a year or two later; of the daughter of Itobert T. Uncoln and ycung Beckwith. of Mount Fieasant, la., and recently the elopment and marriage of Charles Dwyer, the turfman, with the daughter of a San Francisco millionaire. The CrooW Carico of Dead.
