A big.audlence witnessed the opening: performance of Isham's Octoroons at the Park yesterday and the company will probably do an immense business notwithstanding the fact that It Is late in the season. The show Is. good. There are only nineteen of the "octoroons, but nearly every one of these does something good. "The Tenderloin Coons," a musical burlesque, as the opening number. Is good enough to suggest excellent things to follow. Some of the songs mad distinct hits, especially "Whistling Rufus," "No Coon Can Come Too Black for Me." and "If I Only Had a Job." the last almost precipitating a riot. Hampton Is a natural comedian, as well as a spiendld finger of coon sonss, and he is In evidence at nearly every stage of the performance. All the numbers in the olio were well received, Alston and Jefferson, pickaninny dancers; Hampton and Johnson, "musical mokes," and Sam Cousins, monologue comedian, having a little the best of the applause, although the Misses Ilyer and Mackey deserved a better reception than they received. The closing sketch, "Darktown Reception," was full of darky fun. music and dancing, concluding with cake walking by some of the best "walkers" in he business. A notice would not be complete without reference to Thomas Craig's singing of the old favorite "Rocked In the Cradle of the Deep." Such stnsing at one of the higher-priced houses would hrlng repeated encore. The Octoroons will remain three days, and "A Milk White Flag" comes for the rest of the week. . James-Kid ilfMVsrde Co.

Maud Adams made her debut to-night in Shakspearean drama, essaying Juliet to William Favorsham's Romeo at Charles Frohman's Empire Theater. The Interpretation of the role by this popular young actress was entirely different from other Juliets. She relied absolutely on perfect girlish sympathy, with just a faint dash of coquetry. She was sweet and pretty and she carried her audience with her. There was scarcely anything cf the grand passion in her acting. She was the fourteen-year-old girl from beginning to end, truer, perhaps, to the real Juliet than to the popular conception of that Immortal character. Judging from the frequent ovations she received from the audience her debut was eminently successful, though whether her conception of th role will live is another matter. William Favorsham did not seem quite at homo as Romeo, but James K. llackett as Mercutio was excellent. Mrs. W. G. Jones as Juliet's nurse and W. II. Thompson, the great character actor, as Friar Laurence also scored decided successes. The piece was well staged. The house was crowded, and among those who watched and applauded this slip of a Juliet were Mrs. Antonio Navarro (Mary Anderson) and Mr. and Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbllt, Jr. The advance sates for the piece have amounted to over $30,(4)0. Alice Melton Returns to Chicago. CHICAGO, May 8. Alice Nielsen opened her second Chicago engagement at the Columbia Theater to-night in "The Fortune Teller." The house was considerably larger than on the occasion of her stellar debut here last January. Commenting on this fact.

At the end of her season here Miss Nielsen and her management will go direct to England to make preparations for a London engagement next year. London Grand Opera Season. LONDON, Ma7 8.

John Burns, No. 3.77 West Maryland street; Thomas Hughes, No. Z2S West Chesapeake street; Martin O'Day, No. 210 Blackford street, and James Maden, No. ZZf) Brown avenue, were arrested yesterday and charges of grand larceny and burglary placed against them. Friday night the Junk shop of H. Cohn, No. 03 West Washington itrtet, was entered and about $-S0 worth of brass and copper taken. About 10 o'clock two men were seen prying open the rear gate, and they were questioned by neighbor. The reply was made that it was none of their neighbors' business. The men even defied tbe observers to notify the police, but finally went away. Two hours later they returned and broke open the gate, a door and a window. So successful was the endeavor of Friday, another entrance was made on Saturday night and more junk taken. The detectives claim that Burns has been identified as the one who broke into the place, and that Burns and Maden carried the plunder to a place on West Pearl street. Sunday morning Burns went to Hughes, who Is employed at Falender's Junk shop, at No. 522 Eddy street, and tried to dispose of the copper. Not being able to sell it to Falender. Hughes was taken into the deal and the three. Burns. O'Day and Hughes, went to Kennedy's livery stable and hired a horse for 50 cents, paying 40 cents down and agreeing to pay the remainder on their return. The Junk was placed in a buggy and taken to another place, where part of it was sold. The rest was hid. After unloading the buggy, the men sold the. horse to Joseph Haas, a buyer of dead animals, for $4. Yesterday morning Haas met Kennedy and mention being made of the horse, Haas atked if he could identify it. Kennedy readily did so and the horse was returned to him. Burns is a familiar character in Police Court and is a would-be prize-tighter. He is known atout town as "Rucktown Bill." O'Day is also well known to the police, having lest a leg about three years ago from a shot fired by Patrolman Haley. He has also served a sentence In the state prison for killing his cousin several years ago. The arrests were made yesterday by Detectives Ascli and Dugan and Patrolmen Irish and 11. Pope. He Failed to Report. Haiman Barrett, a second-hand dealer, at No. 522 East Washington street, was arrested yesterday by Detectives Gerber and Morgan and charged with violation of the pawnbroker ordinance. Last week the shop of Ittenbach, No. 937 Harrison street, was entered and stonecutter's tools of cor-slder-able value were taken. The tools were r.old in various shops, among them that of Barrett's. He failed to report the purchase, and hence the arrest. THE GIRL UNCONSCIOUS. Two Men Detained Pending: the Recoveryof Bessie Canady. John Tope, 1242 Bismarck avenue, and Arthur Reed, 946 Tremont street, both colored, were arrested yesterday by Patrolman Sangstcn. They were charged, for the present, with assault and battery. Sunday night the mother of Bessie Canady, living on Bismarck avenue, claims to have seen her daughter leave the house with another colored girl named Sample. Shortly after she found her daughter lying on the ground near home and unconscious. She was taken heme and up to a lata hour last night was yet rn the same condition. Mrs. Canady eays when she first saw the girl three colored men had hold of her, and she thinks an outrage was committed. Dr. Cain and Dr. Tucker were called in, but their efforts to restore consciousness were unavailing. The doctors think the girl's condition Is more due to her physical ailments than anythlngs else, there being evidence that she has been so troubled. Reed claims that while walking on the street Sunday night, after having been to see another girl, he was hailed by Pope, who said that Bessie Canady wanted to see him. Reed said she came over ? . him, threw her arms around his neck, said she had not been treated right, and then fainted. He, with the assistance of Pope, tried to carry her home. The mother came out and, having been threatened by the mother, they let go of the girl and ran. As the girl has not been in a condition to talk, nothing could be learned from her as to what took place or what became of the Sample girl. Reed says he had for two years kept company with the girl, but about two months fcgo was told to keep away. He also said that the girl once attempted suicide on his account, and he took several morphine powders from her. The attending physicians do not believe she took poison. SHE ORDERED FREELY. A Woman Swindles Many South-Side Tradesmen. Yesterday afternoon complaint was made to the police department that a woman had all day been sjstematically "vorking" storekeepers on Shelby and State streets for small quantities of goods. She was a middle-aged woman, wearing an ordinary house dress and a blue sunbonnet. Going into a store, she would give her name and street number, changing the nam and number at each place, order a large quantity of groceries, drugs, dry goods, etc., Euch as was sold in that particular store. She would then take part of her purchases with her and ask for the remainder to be delivered at her house soon. When the delivery man took the goods to the number given the woman was not to be found. She went to a saloon, and, after filling herself up, asked for half a gallon to be delivered. The saloon keeper suspected her and telephoned the police. It is said she went to Painter's ico cream plant and after eating several dishes requested that a gallon be sent home. The delivery boy found a school teacher at this number, who said she hid ordered no cream. The stranger, it is said, succeeded in "working" nearly every dealer on the two streets except the saloon keeper, and had not been found last night. Last Friday the woman visited the confectionery of Vin McCabe, corner of Pine street and English avenue, and after eating some Ice cream and cake ordered a couple of large cakes and a gallon of ice cream delivered. When the delivery was made the driver could find no house at the number given. Irvington' Missionary Convention.

Tax Commissioner Wlngate Finds They AVer Successful. The last meeting of county assessors in Tax Commissioner Wingate's district was held at the Denison yesterday. At the state meeting of county assessors last March Mr. Wingate suggested that district meetings be held when the assessment was about half completed, and the suggestion met with much favor. The meetings are called for an informal discussion of the assessment and for an Interchange of ideas. The result of the meetings has shown the plan to be a great success, and all tbe assessors have been delighted over It. By means of them a greater uniformity In assessments has been secured, and it Is probable that the changes made in those counties whose assessors liave been present will be less than in those sections where the meetings have not been held. In Mr. Wingate's district are forty-nine counties and the same number of assessors. Stated meetings were commenced last Monday, and one each day has been held at Muncie. Kendallville, Plymouth, Wabash. Logansport, Frankfort and Indianapolis. At yesterday's meeting Vermillion. Parke, Hendricks, Fountain and Marion counties were represented. In all the meetings forty out of the forty-nine assessors have been present. Many of the meetings have been attended by the township assessors and county auditors, and altogether over one hundred tax olhcers of the State have met. with Mr. Wingate. Not the least beneficial feature of the meetings has been the realization of each assessor that his county is not paying all the taxes, but that the assessment in other counties may be higher than in his own.

The promise made by Nikola Tesla to the world some two years ago that he would soon give It a means of lighting its homes, its offices and its streets at night time by "artificial daylight" has been fulfilled. The invention has been entirely completed lor several weeks. "Vacuum tube lighting by high frequency currents" U whit Tesla himself calls it. The name, though clumsy, is sufficiently descriptive. The essential parts are a vacuum tube and a special current of high frequency, produced by a special dynamo of Tesla's Invention. 'The tubes." Mr. Tesla explains, "have had ali the air pumped out, but. of course, are full of ether. Tne passage cf this special current sets the ether In motion, forming light waves. The light differs from arc Illumination in that it has no particular center. The whole tube glows and sheds a radiance like daylight all around." The tubes are sealed at both ends. A wire is made fast to one end, but there is no wlro Inside. The tubes at present in use are about a foot long. A lighted tube In a room has exactly th effect of daylight flooding the windows.

WILL NOT DIE RICH.

Andrew Carnegie Intimate thct He Will Dlnpose of Ills Millions. NEW YORK, May 5.-A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: "Andrew Carnegie, asked to give his reasons for selling his vast interests In the manufacture of iron and steel, referred with indorsement to an interview with him printed In a London paper to-day. In this interview Mr. Carnegie was asked if he had sold from fear or dislike cf trusts and was quoted as replying: 'The trusts have never frightened me and the Carnegie Steel Company has no occasion to be afraid of them, as It Is the greatest property cf its kind the worid has ever seen or probably ever will see. I did not sell out because business was not prosperous; it never was so prosperous, nor were its prospects ever so good. I sold in pursuance of a policy determined upon long ago not to spend my old age in business, struggling after more dollars- I believe la developing a dignified and unselfish life after sixty.' Mr. Carnegie's attention was called to a paragraph in a London paper which referred to his famous declaration that 'to die rich Is to die disgraced,' and ho wa3 asked what he was going to do with the SlOfl.OUO.fttt he had amassed. " 'Tell that editor.' replied Mr. Carnegie, to watch and see. I hope I shall not justify the definition, sometimes deserved, of a philanthropist as a man with a great deal of money, but very little sense.' " TELEGRAPHIC BREVITIES.

SOME PORTO RICAN rHOBLEMS. Taxation. Police and Better Roads Blatters of Great Interest. W. V. Pettlt, in the May Atlantic. To the Porto Rlcans their future taxation is the most Important issue. A fair assessment on land, whether developed or not, is beyond their comprehension. They naturally wish to cultivate an Intimacy with their new governors, and therein lle3 the diabolical opportunity of those who have obtained an acquaintance among the Americans. ; Another problem before us is policing the Island. The constabulary system of Spain was remarkably complete. Every municipality had its detachment of guardia civiles, whose business it was to be personally acquainted with the surrounding inhabitants. A guardia civile was a Judge, Jury and executioner combined efficient beyond comparisonand yet his license to shoot any offender on refusal to surrender was liable to tremendous abuse. Where the officer's disposition was sufficient evidence to justify the shooting, the ordinary citizen was naturally reluctant to cross him. It speaks well for this picked corps of Spanish veterans that instances of summary shooting were extremely rare, only one having occurred in recent years. How well it speaks for the natives one will readily appreciate. Terrorized to the point of absolute obedience. tne Porto lucann have acquired an undeserved reputation of law-abiding citizens. Moreover, the system engendered a ferocious hatred, which is ready to spring into flame whenever the restraining fear is removed, as ia shown by the recent outragesmurder and Incendiarism committed in the name of revenge.

W at present three classes of roads In the I Island, caraenteras del Rey, or military highways, which are but poor apologies for country roads; and bridle paths. Almost ali the money devoted to road-bulldlng has been expended upon the Iirst-clas9 thoroughfares. The ordinary country Tcads are sufficient in extent, but they are at times impas sable. The Porto Ricans are Justified in their demand for adequate highways. The present conditions are Intolerable. It has been costing tho sugar planters around Junccs more than six pesos to haul a hogshead of sugar (whose gross value Is but forty-five pesos) downhill, some twelve or thirteen miles to the seaboard. Rather Vague. New York Commercial Advertiser. The statement that . Mr. Carnegie is to devote himself hereafter to phllanthropical work is somewhat vague. What sort of phllanthropical work is It to be? Mr. Bryan believes himself to be engaged in phllanthropical work in preaching the gospel of IS to 1. Mr. Atkinson believes he is engaged In benevolent work in trying to incite American soldiers to mutiny. Is this the kind of philanthropy Mr. Carnegie has In mind? The Issues of expansion and trusts have greatly interested Mr. Carnegie of late, and It Is significant that he has had nothing to say on the silver question. Has Mr. Carnegie discovered that he has a political mission to rill? Is he to become the rising hope of Democracy? Stranger things have happened. Politics is full of surprises, and Just at present the Democratic party Is search'ng eagerly for a new leader and new issues. Is Mr. Carnegie to supply this want? There are no apparent reasons why he may not and some very practical, substantial considerations why he should be especially acceptable to the Democracy. It will be Interesting to watch the form his phllanthropical work takes. Louisiana Indnstrlul Exposition. NEW ORLEANS. May S.

The courtship period for Ayers SarsapariUa passed long since, when it won the confidence and esteem of thoughtful men and women 50 years ago. You need have no doubts, if, when you go to buy SarsapariUa, you simply say the old name

That is the kind that cured your fathers and their fathers before them, and it is the kind that will cure you. Other Sarsaparillas may look like it, may even taste like it, but somehow or other they haven't the knack of curing people that Ayer's has. Just try one bottle of Ayer's today.

To the Editor of the InJ!anapoMs Journal: Congress should be called In xtra session at once and every article that is only manufactured by a trust should be taken off of the protected list and put on tho free list. That would go a long way to step this trust evil. When capitalists combine to cut down wages, and strangle competition, and create a monopoly, and compel te people to buy of them at any price they, in their greed, may fix on their goods, then, if American competition Is not a possibility, let the goods of other nations be brought in free from duty and smash the fraudulent "combine." A trust organized for robbery is entitled to no protection. Wc have a protective tariff, the purposes of which are to enable this country to manufacture Its own goods and thus be independent of other nations In this regard, and also to pay good living wages to the vTkers in the factories. The history of the country shows abundantly and conclusively that our protective policy is essential to the happiness and prosperity of our people. Hard times, financial panics. Idleness and want have been and alwuyv are the sure attendants of free trade. But concentrated wealth should not do per

mitted to take advantage of the fostering care of the government, and by preventing competition have this chance to rob tho people In the comparatively few instances where these combinations get absolutely the control of the market I think that putting their goods on th' free list WMuld,rcak up the business and hinder further attempts to create theee mercenary trusts. Most of these trusts will be very short lived. They are organized with a great flourish of trumpets-so many millions of preferred stock and so many mure millions of common stock and large promises that a good big dividend will be paid m tbe tock. Money Is borrowed to make the tint dividend large, the watered and worthies stock is unloaded on the unsuspecting and the real mission of the trust is accomplished. The whole scheme is conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity. Nobody is seriously hurt but the suckers and mulletheads who purchased the worthless trash. But when they can, as in some instances they do, get a corner and bold it on goods that the ieoplc must have and then make the consumer pay three times the value, then ever j body is being plundered. ' Tha government cannot afford, directly or indirectly, to give any sort of aid to this or

ganized rascality nor permit it to exist if it can be prevented. Another serious aspect of the situation it that these abnormal conditions add to and complicate the labor troubles. There ought at all times be the most Intimate relations between the employer and those In his service. Whenever It Is practical they ought to meet often and personally know aea other. When these closer relations txisV strikes are not apt to occur. But with a trust with headquarters in New York and the factories scattered from Maine to Callfornla, when complaints are made to a su- v pcrintendent the complaint must go to headquarters lo be decided by some one who has about the same regard for the worklngman wh.)m he has never seen as be has for one of the cogs in a wheel of the factory. The trust puts tbe men on half time or closes the factory without any consideration of the conditions of the employed. It is a heartless corporation to which no appeal for mercy or Justice can be made. Its cruelty nnd Inhumanity too often excite men to rebellion and anarchy. This gigantic evil Is growing at a fearful rate. The passing away of the hard times and the return cf prosperity, bringing with It a plethora of money, has awakened a mercenary spirit

that seems to know no Dounus or justice or decency. It will be more easy to control It this year than tjie next.. If we have no Congress until the regu'ar sertion in December it will be at hast a year before any remedy can be applied. Next year the president lal election will so engross Congress that tha chances for wise legislation will be greatly lessened. Let Congress meet now and give the country such legislation as will protect the people and save the character of tho Nation. WILL CUMBACK. Grcensburg, Ind., May 8. , . What Doea It Meant To the Editor of the Indlanapolli Journal: What does the protest of the GermanAmericans of Toledo, O., printed In to-day' Journal, mean? In view of the action of a large number of such meetings in different sections of the country, all taking strong ground against the policy of tbe United State in the Philippines and Samoa, what docs it mean? Does it mean that In case of war between Germany and the United States the same proportion of GermanAmericans, as shown by the Toledo meeting, would support Germany as against tha United States? Does it mean that the German-Americans love and honor the fatherland more than their adopted country? It is time for loyal and patriotic GermanAmericans to tpeak out and show their hands. M. F. U. Indianapolis, May 8. The Country Money. New York Financier. The money in circulation In the United States increased about six millions during the month of April, and on the first day of May the per capita circulation was $i.4:. Gold in circulation now amounts to $701,077,412, the gain during the current month having been $6,221,). This Is Urger than the net increase of all kinds of money, as the gross gain of $3.2,'.i6 was offset by decream-s of $3.xn.6oC Gold In circulation one year aj?o wa $'n7,CCS.-10. The ex panelan in specie in twelve months repreents therefore, $y4.0UX.JC2, or about sewn millions for each calendar month. The total circulation of money has Increased since May 1 one year ago. $127,106,450. or over ten millions monthly. Of the gain it Is perhaps true that the specie expansion represent tpeclal factors, tor th United States funds In National bank depositories on Mar 1 amounted to $vV2,(4, or a sum equivalent to tht3 heavier Rold circulation. National bank note decreased during the monta $1,4,22. and the ttal circulation of thi currency Is now $23.s77.J-7. As compared) with u year ago the increase has been about $15.0,J. It will be seen that the new bond issues have had but little influence in adding to the bunk note circulation, although the bonds have been largely ued In securing United States deposit. It is quite likely that the payment of the Philippine indemnity will add largely to the per capita f.gures next month, since the transfer will temporarily take larwt sum out of tha treasury.
