For WEDDING PRESENTS In Solid Gold, Heavy Solid Silver, fine China and rich Cut Glass at WHOLESALE PRICES, set ' 10 Cnatt Waohlnston Street, AMUSEMENTS. The excellent Baldwir-Melvllle repertory company presented "Little Lord' Fauntelroy" at the Pirk Theater yesterday to two laso audietjes. It seemed that the most refined members of the Park family were at the house yesterday, most of them women and children, and both audiences took a wholesonae delight in the artistic tellies of Frances Hodgson Burnett' story. Baby Vavene, who played the little lord. Is a seven-year-old phenomenon. There are many lines In the Fauntleroy part, and little Miss Vavene had every one of them pat. She did not stand before the audience and recite the lines parrot fashion, but played the character, showing a rare amount of talent. There was a sensation every time the little actress appeared in her pretty boy's costume. Edna Earlle Linden, a handsome and clever young actress, had the part of Dearest, and gave the character in Its true sweetne&s and bravery. Mr. Jossey was the gouty old Earl of Dorlncourt, whose heart's artificial crust is melted by the sunny nature of his grandson. Ills scenes with Baby Vavene were particularly finished. The other characters in the story lost nothing In the hands of the other members of the company. The specialties the company carries are more than 'fillers." The team of Dillon and Garland works as well In an Irish turn as in a rag-time black-face act. Both Mr. Dillon and his wife are good dancers and singers and all-around vaudeville players. A new set of pictures were put Into the blo&raph and pleased the audiences greatly. To-day the company will put on "Ten Nights in a Barroom," and the "standlnff room only" slsn is ready. William II. West has made a departure from the old minstrel make-shifts in his "Big Minstrel Jubilee," which comes to English's Friday night for three performances. In the musical first part, which is said to be somewhat different from the old stereotyped "first parts," he has provided a scene suggesting the extravaganza school of stage settings. The scenery was ordered from the studio of Ernest M. Oros, in New York, where such productions as 'The Belle of New York" are turned out. Mr. West gave his orders to Artist Gros, and claims 15,000 worth of scenery was built and painted for the minstrel outfit. The setting referred to Is an "interior," resembling that of a magnificent palace. The walls are floral arches In which sparkle innumerable electric lights, while in the center of the stage four tall pillars support massive chandeliers of electric globes. The archways on the sides screen terraces, along which the minstrels are seen advancing to the rear of the stage, where they meet In front of a fountain and descend to their places on the stage. It is then seen how superbly the scenic artist has blended his surroundings with the colors of the costumes. The. latter are Tuxedo coats of black and yellow. The artist proclaims this scene, in its lightness, delicacy and brilliancy, one of the most beautiful that has ever come from his studio. It is certainly a novelty to hear of such elaborate stage settings In connection with a minstrel company. The box office of English's Opera House will open this morning for the first sale of the season, when seats may be obtained to all three performances of West's "Big Minstrel Jubilee." Friday and Saturday, including a Saturday matinee. Police Captain Reardon. of Brooklyn, the father of Miss Neila Bergan, the prima donna, and Mr. George Reardon, the actress a brother, both deny her rumored marriage to De Wolf Hopper. uluurcu uur The new series of Cinematograph pictures introduced at the Park yesterday included several very striking views, notably an elevated-train scene in New York, another railroad scene taken from a London & Northwestern train, a charge of United States soldiers from trenches and the landing of a party of marines. These last-mentioned pictures aroused much enthusiasm. The "ouija" board, which figures in the great Pond will contest in Hartford, cuts something of a figure also in Ben Hendricks's play, "A Yenulne Yentleman." which win be presented at the Park the last half of this week. An "ouija board" is a three-legged, heart-shaped little table, with hands which .travel over Its smooth rectangular surface, on which the alphabet and the numerals are stenciled, so that they make the segment of a circle and the words "yes" and "no" are stenciled in two of the corners. Messages are read by following the movements of the leg at the apex of the heart. It travels from letter to letter and spells out words, the nerves and muscles of the manipulator having much to do with the direction of its movements. Spiritualists affect to believe in it to a considerable extent. Millionaire Pond, of Hartford, was a Urm believer in Its prophecies, and now his will is being contested. Ilr. Hendricks introduced It in "A Yenuine Yentleman" with. It Is said, humorous effect Just where the ouija board originated It is difficult to say. but India is probably Its birthplace. M. Lnna;trya Love State b. LONDON, Aug. 22. The correspondent is In a position to deny the statement that the Prince of Wales was the first to congratulate Mrs. Langtry. or was in any way in the secret or has congratulated them at all. Most of Mrs. Langtry's friends hive been struck too dumb with. amazement to think of congratulating her. They are all at their wits' end on account of her marriage. It came as an absolute surprise to the most Intimate of them. Young De Bathe's attentions at the Langtry household were set down as directed to the Jersey Lily's daughter, a very handsome and piquant girl. Beyond being a nice young man. he has nothing apparently to . recommend him to a

woman of Langtry's ambition. He has no money and no special position of any kind, and no distinctive charm that any one has ever discovered. He is not even versed in racing or theatrical affairs, so he can be of no use in either of those capacities. There Is no escape, therefore, from the hypothesis that it was a love match on her side as well as on his. It is a question if the wedding would have become known had It not been for the fact that Mr. De Bathe had been attending rehearsals, along with his actress wife, at the Hayinarket Theater every day for about a fortnight. One morning, by Inadvertence or otherwise, Mr. Sydney Grundy, the author of the play, addressed her as Mrs. De Bathe. Immediately the ears of all the company on the stage stood up. Eyes were turned on the interesting bride and bridegroom. Mrs. De Bathe smiled Just the merest little smile, and the truth was out High-Diving Tony Sold. Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

NEW SOCIAL MOVE3IEXT. Rev. W. II. Wlae Will Work with the Co-Operative Commonwealth. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. GREENCASTLE, - Ind., Aug. 22-The members of College-avenue M. E. Church, the largest in the city, wero surprised today to learn that Rev. W. H. Wise, who for two years has been their pastor, had resigned. For some time Mr. Wise has been giving a great deal of attention to the new social reform movement as taken up by a number of ministers of whom the Rev. J. Stltts Wllscn and Rev. J. H. Holllngsworth, of Chicago, are prominent. Mr. Wise does not leave the church but only Its settled pastorate. In ctatlng the reasons for his move Mr. Wise said: "My action does not reflect upon my church, for it has been most loyal and cordial in its support of my message and was never so sympathetic as now. I shall unite with Mr. Wilson and Mr. Holllngsworth, of the social comrade, and live in Chicago. We will immerse ourselves in the life of the people and seek with many others to give an answer to the social problem that to-day confronts civilization. Christianity cannot advance until the present fearful antithesis between the teachings of Jesus on brotherhood and the present com petltive social system be abolished. Our work will be to herald the gospel of the kingdom of God on earth; to arouse the social conscience to the wrong and Injustices of our present competitivo system; to call men to lives of righteousness and love to humanity: to the Christ life that makes us Saviors; to seek to save the people from impending social slavery by proclaiming; the truths of the co-operative commonwealth which shall abolish involuntary poverty and guarantee to every man the right to work and the produce of his toll. We will give ourselves to unceasing teaching everywhere we are invited: in the churches and halls, before clubs, etc., and in the open air we will speak to the great unchurched peoples, thus seeking to leaven all classes with this Christ gospel." A committee has been appointed to confer with the presiding elder and seek a successor to Mr. Wise to be appointed at the coming session of the Northwest Indiana Conference, which will meet in Frankfort next month. Mr. Wise Is one of the most popular pastors in the conference and is an intimate friend of Rev. W. W. Tippy, of Terre Haute, who recently preached along the same line in Merirdan-street Church, In dlanapolls. 4 -INDIANA OBITUARY. Charles W. Wood-, a Pioneer of Laporte County, Is Dead.

To the Editor of th Indianapolis Journal: In the Journal's account of the killing of Birch, yesterday afternoon, by 'Patrolman Warren, the word beer occurs, which ls a reminder that in all brawls, and family brawls especially, beer nine times out of ten ls the prime mover. It cannot be denied that beer, end 75 per cent, of all the cases, bad and indifferent, coming before the Police Court are inseparable. Because of beer dozens of families each year are given notice to vacate on account of nonpayment of house rent. I have in mind a family consisting of four persons husband, wife and two grown daughters all of whom worked, but who were eiow pay. and usually behind in house rent of $S a month. Calling one day, the collector noticed a bucket of beer, when he asked the wife to be candid and to tell him how much they spent each day for that article. The woman said they tried to get along with three glasses apiece, or 60 cents a day. Here was a family of four persons, usually behind in rent, with scanty furniture end fewer clothes, spending $21$ a year for beer, to say nothing of an extra "growler" now and then when "company" called; yet, like the Carolinian's cob pipe, it is a good thing in a family where there is no milk."
