A small but very appreciative audience witnessed the opening production of "Coon Hollow" at the Tar yesterday. This is a melodrama of such warmth that its presentation would be better confined to cold weather. The length and tediousness of the plot Is happily broken at Intervals by the Introduction of specialties of considerable merit. The Carolina Quintet, a body of sweet singers from both the Caucasian and African races, divided the honors about evenly with Harris Hunter, monologue artist and singer of comic songs. Both of these features received several hearty encores. William Asher, tha Smalls, Alberta, Henry and Gordon all furnished plenty of entertainment, especially In the steamboat levee scene, Just prior to the appearance of the racing steamers Robert E. Lee and Natchez. A fairly capable company interprets "Coon Hollow." The scenery and pettings are above the average, the best being the Sulphur Springs Retreat. Coon Hollow and the cotton press. "Coon Hollow" remains until Thursday, when it gives way to "Tennessee's Fardner," an old-time favorite with Park Theater patrons. Empire no n Ton Ilurlesquers. The "Bon Ton Burlesquers," who played a successful engagement at the Empire last fall, opened yesterday afternoon at that house for a week's stand. Ned Monroe, whose Silas Feevy in the afterpiece was a fine exemplification of the "Rube," Is no longer with the company, nor Is Fern Melrose. The programme writer still calls clever Agnes Behler "the American chansonette." which goes to show they don't know everything about language on the Rlalto. Agnes Is still Impaling some unhappy victim on her pointed remarks and sharp voice to the cheers of the populace.

Is an addition to the company, as are Weston and Yost, two young men who work up a bright but too-long act of the one-man-ln-the-audlence variety.

REGIMENT DELAYED. President McKlnlry Did .ot Review the 101st Indiana. All plans for tin entertainment of the One-hundred-and-slxty-first Indiana at Washington yesterday afternoon miscarried on account of the delay in the arrival of the regiment. It was expected to reach the city by 8 o'clock In the morning, but the first battalion did not get there until 4:30 In the afternoon. The Indiana people In the city had planned to meet the regiment, give each member a badge, serve a breakfast and escort those who desired to see the eights around the city. It was also expected that the regiment would be reviewed by President McKinley. The President did not return from New York, so that part cf the programme was spoiled. When the regiment did arrive about one-third immediately sought some place where they could get something to eat, but the other two-thirds marched up Pennsylvania avenue, headed by a section of the Marine Band. When they reached the White House grounds they scattered in all directions. The only part of the plan that was carried out was that to give each member a silk badge. The regiment left Washington at 3:30 o'clock last night for Cincinnati. The three companies which will be here thl3 evening will be entertained as has been announced. The meeting at the Statehouse to-night will be presided over by Governor Mount and speeches will b made by Senator Fairbanks. Mayor Taggart, II. C. Adams and Colonel Smith. A supper will be served to the men. The members of Battery A are ordered to report at the armory at f o'clock this evenlr-g In uniform, to act as escort to the regiment. Gosilp from the 100th. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., May l.-Col. Gunder, of the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Regiment, is in fine health. He cays that the experience of the past year, .compared with his civil war service, was no more than a pleasant outing. The colonel says that hl3 men had none of the bad beef that has been so much discussed. The One band of the One-hun-dred-and-sixtieth Indiana Volunteers will make a tour of the cities which were represented in the regiment. There is reason to believe that they will receive a flattering reception here and elsewhere upon the occasion of their visit. They will rest for a week and then rehearse a short time before making their trip. Charles Wey, of Peru, known to everybody in the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana Regiment as "Windy ey," is suing the Queen & Crescent Railroad for $10,M) damages. About the 1st of last October he was returning to Lexington rrom a furlough home. He was sick. The conductor out of Cincinnati ordered him to sit in the smoking car. The smoke waa offensive to him and he objected strongly, friends on the train also argued with the railroad man. hut it ended In the soldier being ejected from the train and in his having to walk fourteen miles.

LIKE fl MAY FESTIVAL

THE COXCEnT GIVEN' LAST NIGHT BY THE BOSTON ORCHESTRA. People Delighted vritb. Miss Anderson, Who Took the Place of 31 me. Sembrlch. The concert last evening given at English's Opera House by the Boston Festival Orchestra and several fine soloists was a veritable May festival. It seemed evidently so when Mr. Emil MoIIenhauer Issued from the wings and took the director's stand. There were doubtless many who gave up their Feats for last night because Mme. Sembrlch did not sing, but those who remained away were decidedly the losers. Miss Sara Anderson, who took the place of Mme. Sembrlch in the concert, has been singing with success in New York, and has taken Mme. Sembrich's place several times when the great diva could not appear. Miss Andersen is a beautiful woman, of superb physique, tall and queenly In bearing, with a chest and throat so perfectly rounded and full that there was a murmur of admiration before she even opened her mouth. When she did the audience heard a voice of the most delicious quality. Rich and vibrant, full of sympathy and color, flexible, of wide range, exquisite purity and with a degree of cultivation approaching perfection. Miss Anderson came to Indianapolis a comparative stranger, few had heard her and not many had heard of her. She now has won a place for herself that will stamp her as a great favorite whenever she chooses to favor this city with a visit. Her first song In Indianapolis was "Los Adleux 'de Jeanne d'Arc," by Tschalkowskl, a number well fitted to show the beauly of her voice, but particularly its sympathy. The tenderness and feeling were aptly expressed. The orchestral accompaniment ably assisted in emphasizing the composition, and through it all Miss Anderson's voice carried its melody to every part of tho house, so perfectly was she attuned with the instruments. At its close she was recalled five times to bow her acknowledgments for the vociferous and continued applause. A widely heralded singer could scarcely have received more. It might not be out of place to mention In connection with her appearance that she wore a heavy white satin gown, with jewel trimming and a knot of apple-green velvet on the corsage, which was most becoming. Slgnor Campanarl, baritone, needs no compliment, for he has sung with pronounced success in this city several times. He has been a star at the May festivals and he has been here in concert. Slgnor Campanarl, without the ''Toreador's Song" and "Figaro's Song," would not be complete, and these were given by him for his encore numbers. No baritone who has sung here has the vocal pyrotechnics that Slgnor Campanarl has in "Figaro's Song." and as he speeds over the notes the excitement increases, until the last tone is met with a thunderstorm of applause and shouts from "all parts of the house. Slgnor Campanarl. however, did not begin with his encore numbers. He sang the melodious "Vision Fugitive," from Massenet's "Herodlade," and for beauty of tone nothing he sang compared with the sweet refrain, "viMon fugitive," which recurs from time to time, it was as if the vision was indeed only fugitive and would not remain. The last, lingering, swelling tone was only the climax of the whole number, which made one realize how much the human voice can express and of how much It is capable. Four tlme3 was he recalled before he gave the "Toreador Song.' Slgnor Campanari's other solo was the proloim from "I Paeliacci " by Leoncavello. equally well sung and equally well received. This brought the "Figaro Song." It was in the duet "Cruclflxus," by Faure, that , the acme of the vocal part of the programme was reached, it is a composition of great power and rich melody, and Ml?s Anderson's and Signor Campanari's voices blended with all the concord of sweet sounds. The orchestra played an accompaniment that made a fitting third to voices and composition, it was a duet that will not be forgotten for many a day, and the audience was only satlstied when they returned and sang it a second time. It is a work like that and given as that was that takes one out and away from the commonplace and gives a taste of something higher and nobler. It is music of that kind that makes the art dlv'.ne. The third soloist waa Mr. Clarence Shirley, tenor, who sang "Slegmund's Love Song" from "Die Walkuere." Mr. Shirley did not do himself justice In the number, and would probably have met with a more generous reception had he sung something less difficult of Interpretation. His voice is a high tenor and cf rather a pleasing quality, given perhaps too much to the tremolo and therefore not fitted for a Wagner singer. To criticise him adversely would not be fair, considering the number. Thy orchestra, with Mr. MoIIenhauer as leader, has improved since playing here the last time. Mr. MoIIenhauer directs in such a way that the audience has many hints of what an orchestra director has to do. He turns directly to the Instruments that do the most important work at the time and gives them his undivided attention. In some respects this is of assistance to the listener, as it shows which la the most Important part of the composition through each movement. The orchestra opened the programme with the much-liked overture to "Tannhauser." and followed this with a notably good bit of work in the string orchestra, which played the Andante frcm the "Quartet in Tt Flat." by Tschalkowskl. It is quiet and delicate, with almast a whisper from the string?, and yet there was not the slightest wavering nor unduo accent, the first violins carrying the theme and the 'cellos the undulating accompaniment. It was dainty and artistic. The "Hondo d'Amour" was in lighter vein, and while not in keeping with the festival character of . the other parts of the programme. It was most enjoyable. A clever short composition by Westerhout was given that won for the audience an encore number for strings alone, tho first having been mostly for the brasses. Tho symphonic poem. "Le Rouct d'Omphale.,r was a trifle stiff, with not quite the flexibility 'that a symphony and a poem naturally suggests. The crchestra gave a good reading to the introduction to the fifth act of "Manfred" and to the third act of "Ixjhen.srrln." "Tannhauser" and "Lohen grin" seem never to fall to please, and they are piayea more man almost anytnmg else. The remaining orchestra numbers were the "Hymn to St. Cecelia," by Gounod, and the Robespierre "The Iast Day ct Terror," which gave a dramatic ending to the pro gramme. It was a delighted audience that left the theater and one that felt that while it was a great disappointment not to have heard Mme. Sembrlch. the programme offered greatly compensated. Choral Society Concert. The following is the programme to be given to-morrow evening, at Meridian-street Church, by the Meridian Choral Society, under the direction of Mr. Max Leckner, assisted by Miss Benaldlne Smith and Miss Anna Slckels, violinists. Miss Shirley Shoemaker is the organist, and Miss Clarissa K. Coons. Mrs. Walter L. Fugate, Mr. Andrew Smith and Mr. Arthur D. Gates the quartet: Organ prelude "Adagio" Volkmar Anthem "O Lord, I Will Exalt Thee" H. W. Parker Duet-"I Heard a Voice in the Stilly Night" Glover Miss Coons and Mrs. Fugate.

Chorus "To Him, Who Left His Throne on High" John Stalner Organ postlude ..Dudley Buck Sot the R. II. Davis "JagKers." Burt EV Jaggers, the feeble-minded young man who escaped from the custody of his friends three weeks ago and wandered aim lessly about the streets for seven days while the police and special detectives were searching for him, has again disappeared. Jaggera has no Idea of locality, and during the entire sev&n days that he wandered

about the city he had nothing at all to eat

and was nearly starvea to aeatn wnen found. This time he has gone away without his coat. It was thought that, being in his shirt sleeves- and with his.narae marked on his clothing in several places. It would not be a difficult matter to find him. but so far the police have been unable to get the slightest clew of his whereabouts. This shows how easy it is to get lost in a large city, and should give a pointer to crooks that all they have to uo is to wanaer aimlessly About if they wish to avoid the police. THE EP WORTH HERALD. Telia the Lengners of the Merits of Indianapolis. A large consignment of the Epwcrth Herald has been received in this city, and hundreds cf copies are to.be scattered broadcast. The International Epwortn League convention is to be held here July 20 to 23. and the Herald, which Is said to have an immense circulation, has printed a convention number. The first page bears a large picture of the soldiers and sailors' monument. Inside is a detailed description of Indlanapalis. Last night Rev. Charles C. Lasby, of the Central-avenue M. E. Church, Bald he had been told it was the best description of Indianapolis that had ever been written. It is a eulogy on the city and begins with: "Ho for Indianapolis! Weather most agreeable, trip most Inviting, reception most hospitable. Warm, did you say, at time of convention dates? Not at all. Only comfortable. The record, as kept by the United States government for the past twentyeight years, shows an average for July 20 to 23 of only degrees. Anything cooler than that is scarcely comfortable in midsummer. The weather is all right, but anyway the warmth of the reception will atone for any unexpected chilliness in the air." In speaking of the Statehouse, Mr. Lasby says: "Here, in the Governor's room, may be found as sturdy a Christian statesman as our land can boast, for whom every Epworthlan will at once conceive a peculiar respect when he learns that the occupant declined to participate In a proposed inaugural ball, and was inducted Into his office with becoming Christian simplicity. All honor to Governor James A. Mount, of Indiana, a stanch Presbyterian, and to our Governor Siiaw, of Iowa, and others like them who dare breast the scorn of assumed society leaders, and preserve their primitive integrity and unsullied conduct In public life." Of the newspapers of Indianapolis Mr. Lasby says. In his article: "The intellectual life of the city may be f:auged from its patronage of the press, and ts foremost rank In the educational field. There are no less than seven dally newspapers, and the entire country may be challenged to show their, equals for fullness of news and for editorial ability. Their general avoidance of sensationalism, and exclusion of disgusting details and crime-breeding descriptions is at once a tribute to their management and their patrons. In addition to these there are twenty-eight weekly and thirty monthly and seml-moitfhly periodicals. Gifted authors reside here, and all literary Indiana claims a home fellowship in the capital city. A familiar figure on our streets is James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosler poet, whose ballads and poems are a household theme everywhere; while one of our finest buildings is the elegant apartment house, the Blacherne, built out of the profits of "Ben-Hur," by that accomplished statesman and cultured author. Gen. Lew Wallace, whose voice, we trust, will be heard by the legions of Epworthians In July. His family are consecrated and loyal Methodists, and may we not all pray that the renowned general, who has contended so valiantly for our adorable Christ, may vet approach the welcoming Master, wearing the symbolic colors of our Epworth League?" Other preachers have arUcles in the paper on the churches and the religious forces in Indianapolis. The articles are profusely Illustrated with pictures of the large buildings and other places of interest in the city. THE WOMEN MD PEACE Plnn Determined on by Mrs. Sevrnll for 3Ian MeetlnK Mrs. May. Wright'' sWwVll, chairman of the American bianch of the international women's peace committee, which is organized to promote the cause of peace by a universal International demonstration of women in favor of the aims for which the Czar's peace committee has been convened, has determined upon the following programme, which Is in harmony with that adopted by the other nations represented in the International committee: Women everywhere throughout the United States are asked to arrange for holding mass meetings of women in their respective communities on May 13. To prepare the public for this demonstration the women taking the Initiative are recommended to invite tho pastors of all churches to preach sermons on the Czar's conference on Sunday, May 14. They are also advised to avail themselves in every possible way of the aid of the press. Programmes must be arranged by each local committee to suit local conditions and to correspond with the local resources. The meetings, however, will be unified by the presentation and passage of resolutions, tho complete text of which follows: "Resolved, That we, the women of the United States, believing in the solidarity of humanity, recognize that whatever promotes the permanent interests of one nation must ultimately secure the highest welfare for all: believing that the highest interests of each nation are best conserved by Its own civil, political and social institutions; that devotion to these interests in all nations is measured by the industrial progress of its peoples and llnds its best expression in the philanthropy, letters, art and religion, and realizing that thesa expressions of a nation's life languish in time of war and are abated by the influences, conditions and circumstances accompanying war and resulting therefrom, we deprecate the maintenance and enlargement of the present standing armies of the world as a menace to civilization, to culture and to religious Ideals; therefore, "Resolved, That we gratefully regard the conference convened by his Majesty, the Czar of Russia, as the initiative of a tendency which we hope will result in the abolition of war aa a means of settling international disputes and the establishment of a permanent international court of arbitration. "Resolved, That we extend to the commissioners appointed by President McKinley to represent the government of the United States at the Czar's conference our congratulations on the opportunity thus offered them to assist in the inauguration of that better method which shall characterize tho new civilization, and we respectfully beg to assure them that their countrywomen confidently expect them to lend their high influence and their large abilities to the service of humanity by their disinterested efforts to promote the objects set forth In the letter of his 'Majesty, the Czar of Russia, and the still hlsrher objects which are Involved in gradual disarmament and which will come to be regarded as its natural sequence." It is also desired that a telegram containing the Information that the resolutions have been passed and the number of people present at the meeting shall be sent from every meeting to May Wright Sewall, Indianapolis, and to Vredes Comlte. The Hague. Holland. The object of sending the cablegram Is to enable the central committee, which will be in session at The Hague from May 16, to ba able to make a sum total for every country of the number of women that have convened in meetings to express their interest In gradual disarmament and in international arbitration. Artangements have been made to have this expresslon cf the opinions, the sympathies and the hopes of women properly presented to the commissioners of the respective countries represented in the Czar's conference.

TOWN ELECTIONS HELD

ENTIRE PEOPLE'S TICKET VICTORIOUS AT IRVINGTOX. Success of the Independents at Droad Ripple Except Marshall Pearce Election Over the State. The election at Irvington, yesterday, resulted in victory for the entire People's ticket. The vote for successful candidates was: Trustee, First district, James L. Kingsbury, 212; trustee. Fourth district, William B. Downey, 223; clerk, Charles B. Clark, 203; treasurer, William I. Coons, 253; marshal, Samuel H. Smith, 205. The vote for the candidates on the Citizens' Home-rule ticket was: Trustee, First district, Caesar A. Rodney, 122; trustee, Fourth district. Nathan R. Sheimer, l-5; clerk, W. M. Redman, 151; treasurer, Parmenas C. Jacobs, 93; marshal, James R. Fry, 127. William I. Coons ran far ahead of his ticket, and was re-elected. Charles B. Clark had previously served as clerk, and at one time, when he resigned, W. M. Redman filled the office. Samuel H. Smith was reelected, as a matter of course, as he has been defeated but twice in eighteen years. The election was the first in the State in which the voting machine was used, and the result was highly satisfactory. The election board gave the Turner Voting Machine Company a signed statement that it took only nine minutes to determine the result of the election after the polls closed, that the machine was entirely practical and that the election board recommended it for general use. Those who were not familiar with the machine's working were able to vote after reading the Instructions once, and but one man voted differently than he had intended. The first eight votes were cast in two minutes. . To vote a straight ticket a large button at the top of the ticket was pressed down. To vote a mixed ticket the button In front of the name of each candidate it was desired to vote for was pressed down. A vote cast for one candidate for an office automatically locked the keys for all other candidates for that office. WThen ths voting was completed the inspector pulled a crank, which rang a bell and automatically registered the vote. A counting device added the votes as they were cast, so that when the election was closed the totals were found registered. 1 TOSSED A CO IX. A Tie Vote Was Quickly Decided at Brond Ripple. At Broad Ripple yesterday the election resulted In the independent ticket winning out, with the exception of the candidate for marshal, L. F. Tearce.

Interior Ruined and Placards Posted Denouncing the Pastor for Con demning Lynching: of Xejrroes. wYTTANTA, Ga., May L The Baptist Tabernacle in this city, the largest church of that denomination in the South and a recently completed structure, was entered some time during last night and considerably damaged. The doors were broken In, the new carpels torn up, pair.t was smeared over the seats and walls and a water tank upset. On the outside of tho church were tacked placards bearing such inscription as "Negro lover," "Run him out of town," and other sentiments of that nature, Dr. Broughton reported, the matter to the polic to-day. Ono week ago Dr. Broughton denounced the burning of Sam Hose at Newnan, and said the lynchers were as much murderers as Hose was. Last week Dr. Broughton received one or two pieces of Hose's flesh, accompanied by threatening letters. Last night ho denounced the senders of these letters as towards and expressed his entiments freely regarding them. Dr. Broughton thinks the desecration was performed by sympathizers cf thoss be denounced. The plumbers) who were called to repair the damage dene to pipes say tho trouble may have been caused by the giving way of the tank, but this Dr. Broughton scouts. "Vandals did it," said Dr. Broughton. "They broke open the door which leads from the alley into the primary department. They wrenched the door of the ladies lavatory from its hinges, broke down the tank, took out the lead pipes and allowed the watter to run all tight over the floor. They overturned a bucket of ialnt and smeared the contents all over the floor, walls and blackboards. It was done by thesame gang that has been sending me notes of a threatening character for th past week or two. 1 preached a sermon last night In which I reiterated my position and remarks which wero made In former sermons. In that sermon I stated that I was not afraid of all the devils in hell, and I still stick to what I have said." Dr. Broughton sold he would not ask for police protection now, but he would order

ATLANTA, Ga., May 1.-A State conveatlon which shall have for Its mission the discussion cf rape and lynchlngs and whose obt-ct shall be to find a remedy for uch existing conditions will probably be called to meet in Atlanta as soon as delegates can b selected from the various counties of the State. This movement, at first coming only as a suggestion, has found sufficient backing and sentiment to cause It to assume the proportions necessary for its success and it is said there is no doubt but that the convention will be held and every county in the State represented in the discussion of th recent lynching The convention will not meet for the purpose of condoning the crime or censuring the work of outraged citizens who deal out summary punishment to the assailant, but Its purpose will be to suggest such chanses in the present law as to mAk it possible for indictment, trial and execution of the guilty to follow in such rapid succsson the execution of the crime as to make it impo&dlble for any delay to swell the indignation of the people to that point of frenzy which generates violence and death to the man who is responsible for the crime. Judge George Hllyer, a prominent lawyer and large property owner. Is taking an active part in the matter.
