It had been so long since "Fogg's Ferry" was seen In this city that the exact nature of the old-time play was nearly forgotten by those who went to the Park yesterday; but a few scenes at the ferryman's home, where little Chip, the heroine, was introduced, wa3 enough to brush all cobwebs from the memory of old theater-goers and the Rtory of the once-famous play came back with a rush. The Park audiences fairly reveled In another look at the drama. It also afforded an opportunity to compare modern popular dramas with one that was a success twenty years ago. and not at all to the discredit of the old play. "Fogg's Ferry" is found to be built with considerable less noise and a much more connected story than those of to-day. It has more clot and heart interest. At the same time It must have been one of the pioneer explosion plays; but the steamboat scene and the manner in which the villains are prevented from blowing up the boat with all on board would be entirely too tame as a distinctive scene with which to make the play talked about nowadays. Its managers have introduced a family of negro dancers and singers, who occupy no little tine giving a regular down-South plantation scene, and with the assistance of slapsticks in the hands of an old negro mammy there was as much noise and diversion as may be found in a modern burlesque. Members of the cast also contribute specialties. . Little Chip is poutingly portrayed by Lydia Dickson, a pink-cheeked young soubrette. who probably does as well as her predecessors did In the old days. Mr. and Mrs. Fogg are good, quiet character pictures and Martha Blodgett is a sort of comic Aunt Ophelia part to make the audience laugh. Madge Neville, with a repertory of Maud Adams Doses, plays Blanche Norwood in fine style. This, it will be remembered, is the haughty young woman who was palmed off on Judge Norwood as fits daughter when she was a baby and who is fald back in the last act for all her lnsoence to Chip, the Judge's portege and real daughter. George P. Haines was good enough as Bruce Rawdon to win the hisses of the gallery for his villainy, and the rest of the members are competent. "Fogg's Ferry' will remain at the Park the rest of the week, giving way next week to Murray and Mack in "Finnlgan's Ball." -The Girl from Maxim. The Girl from Maxim's." the nastiest of all the French farces now running In Paris and which Charles Frohmin has Imported on the heels of his virtuous pose as the patron of 'clasrlc art by starring Maud Adams In "Romeo and Juliet," opened the Criterion Theater in New' York Tuesday night. From all descriptions "The Girl from Maxim's" is oroider than "Tte Turtle" or 'Flfi." It has been dressed down to some extent for its American neaison, but all the New York critl:Isms r'clnt out that It is still suflk-Untly racy. William Winter.. In his New York Tribune review, has the following to. say cf the play: 'In its original form this farce 1? exceedingly nasty, but it has bv:n lUUtly ileodorizeU for the American market. 'Hypocrisy,' says an oV? moralist, 'U the homage infection, however, while it has left the fiiece sufilciently indelicate, has deprived t of Its sola claim vpon pwlutc -uttm:cu. In English It Is a pu.-ag. or. ziYy incidents and frivolous mutter, coat 3 iuru:r.do and abominable slan?: such a sc-rted as might have been written bj 1 Mntli boy for the amusement of :i boo:-l)!;ict. in two or three Instances of mUtatvn identity it momentarily deviates into comical situation, but for the most ar: it purls ?Jor.g upon the tedious level of horse-play and frivolous chatter ami enJ In deadly dullness. The dramatic theme 's the- consternation that may be created by suddenly introducing an obstreperous and vulgar wench Into a social circle of respectable persons, mostly fools. A married man. being very drunk, has made acquaintance with a strange girl at a restaurant, and has In troduced her into his house as into a hotel and has placed her in bed there, and she Is subsequently mistaken for his wife; and, cut of this complexity, various consequences, supposed to be comic, are laboriously deduced. The subject will not bear specific treatment. The style may be Indicated by cne citation. The heroine refers to 'the rhubarbs of Paris.' This shaft of humor fairly transfixed and convulsed one of the most vacuous audiences that this enlightened capital has yet disclosed. The actors labored with extraordinary xeal, and In particular Mr. Eugene Jepson. Miss Ger trude Whitley and Mr. Royal Thayer contributed to the rerentatlon the elements f character, professional -skill and that complete earne?tness and sincerity which alone can cveate and sustain illusion, and which may ko far even to rede-em failure. Mr. Ferguson had a bad part, and his fine talents are wasted upon it. The most conspicuous and the mot obnoxious impersona tion was that of the Girl from Maxim s Praline Try Josephine Hnll. A nasal voice. a strident, ear-piercing delivery, an Indeli cate song, a vulgar dance and a copious ebuilitlon pf slang combined to make this performance detestable: yet, apparently. It was much admired by many of Its auditors. And a wonderful thing U Is to consider that an andlence can be found In such a city as New York, with all its pretensions to intellect ana taste, that win admire and applaud a woman for antics that are a dlsirrarA to that wom.inhnnrt : h t -h rnrVi ai. ways to be reverenced and that dignity of lire ana rennement or manner which It is the chief mission of the state to exemplify and enforce." Mrs. Lanfftry'a Xevr IMay Produced. LONDON, Aug. 31. Mrs. Langtry's appearance at the Haymarkct Theater, this evening. In Sydney Grundy's new comedy, "The Degenerates," was a decided success. She daringly portrayed what are generally understood to be scenes taken from her own life. The realism of the initial act is so Intense, bringing in, as It does, all the scandals associated with her name, that the eanlrnous comment at the- close of the

performance was: "It Is good, but she is awfully brave to do it." Mrs. Langtry acted better than ever before, seeming to throw herself thoroughly into the spirit of the comedy, which bristles with epigrams, but Is occasionally vulgar. Mr. Hugo Gerald de Bathe, her husband, looked on from a box with the Duke of 3axe-Coburg and Gotha and Prince Louis of Battenburg. The Duchess of Marlborough, many other titled persons and a large number of wellknown Americans, including Nat Goodwin, were in the audience. The Prince of Wales telegraphed from Marienbad: "My best wishes for a brilliant success. Booked for a fortnight from today. ALBERT." Charles Haw trey. Miss Lily Hanbury and Miss Lily Grundy, the latter a daughter of the well-known author of the play, were the pick of the cast. It was Miss Grundy's first stage appearance. Mr. Grundy's clever dialogue met with the usual appreciation. It is probable that "The Degenerates" will be taken to the United States in the course of a few months. Notes of the Stage. The end of baby-coon songs Is not yet. May Irwin will introduce one with the refrain. "I'm the Bully's Baby." Mr. Charles Frohman has decided not to open the Garrlck Theater until Sept. 11, when Mrs. Carter will again be seen in "Zaxa." Harrison J. Wolfe, It Is solemnly stated, will go starring this year In "The Corslcan Brothers" and "Hamlet." Mr. Wolfe's sole title to fame lies in the fact that he was once married to Bettlna Glrard. Adelaide RIstori. who Is past seventy years of age. is acting in "Mary Stuart" and "Queen Elizabeth" in Belgium, according to a letter received here by a friend, and still retains much of her former force. Julia Arthur Is to omit from her adaptation of "More Than Queen" scenes exhibiting Napoleon as anything but the dignified, serious person he is popularly supposed to have been. She thinks that such trifling with common impressions Is dangerous. Eugenie Pollard, as a partner of Louise Carver, the chief comedian with Irwin's Burlesquers, at the Empire, bids fair to scon fill Pauline Black's shoes, metaphorically speaking. Literally, the late Paulines shoes had more filling, at least In the upper dimensions. The New York gossips persist In printing suggestive, little stories about Julia Marlowe and Charles B. Dillingham, her manager. In the meantime. It is understood that Mr. Julia , Marlowe-Tabor, who once Jointly starred with Julia Marlowe, has sailed back to London. Their ships probably passed each other in the night on the briny deep. "The Gadfly." whiTh will bo played at Wallack's Sept. 18, will possibly create a sensation. Stuart Robson, 'actor and son of a Methodist preacher, denying the teachings of his pious youth, assumes the responsibility of staging this play in which an agnostic dominates every situation, and "scores" against every argument which the weak religious element of the ctory brings

against Mm. The company which will be seen at the Bijou Theater, New York, next Monday in the opening of "In Paradise," boasts ot rather a remarkable personnel. Both Richard Golden, and Miss Minnie Sellgman have been successful as stars, while Miss Hattle Russell is the sister of Miss Ada Rehan; Miss Flora Fairchlld is the sister of Miss Julia Arthur: Miss Beatrice Morgan, the daughter of Matt Morgan, the painter; Miss Belle Stokes, the sister of Mrs. John stetson, and Miss Marguerite McDonald, the sister of the late and famous Sadie McDonald. M. Emile Moreau. who collaborated with M. Sardou in writing "Madame Sans Gene," has written a new play founded upon the career of Jeffreys, the famous Justice of England under James II., whose brutality is historical. Mr. Mansfield has secured the American rights to the play, which will be produced In England by Sir Henry Irving and in France by Coquelln. At the time of the purchase of "Jeffreys," Mr. Mansflela also secured the American rights to another play by M. Moreau, which was produced at the Vaudeville Theater, in Paris, last seasounder the title, "Madame de Lavillette." This play will probably not be produced until next season. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

Receiving Informal Visits from For mer Neighbors and Chatting with Friends Flowers Laid on Graves. CANTON. O., Aug. 31.-Presldent McKinley's fcrlef visit to this, his old home, for the purpose of rest and quiet is marked with almost constant calls and Informal visits from his old neighbors and friends, and it cannot be said that he is finding a marked degree of quiet. But he seems to be thoroughly enjoying the little chats with his old friends, and this evening is in the best of spirits and rested and benefited by the brief stay here. Aside from a trip to the cemetery this morning with Mrs. McKlnley, her sister, Mrs. Barber, and Miss Kate Barber, where they laid fresh flowers on the graves of departed parents and relatives, and the little detour about the cliy which followed. the President remained practically all day at the Barber residence. There was a flood of telegrams and a large volume of mall matter delivered him there, a large portion of both being messages of congratulation on the sentiments expressed in his address at Pittsburg. Only the most urgent matters of public business were forwarded from Washington to receive attention here, but even these kept the secretaries well occupied. It is understood that nothing definite has yet been done toward arranging for the furnishing of the recently-purchased home on North Market street, although the matter has been given some attention. Possession will probably be taken about the 1st of October. No plan for Its occupancy has been definitely decided on. There are several county society meetings In progress here and delegates were among the callers at the house. Each also endeavored to have the President appear at a session, but he was obliged to decline. He did, however, go to a puie food show at the Tabernacle for a few minutes in response to an urgent invitation from the Episcopal Church, which is managing the entertainment. Mrs. McKlnley also graciously patronized the pure food show by liberally responding to a request for flowers from the White House conservatory, which to-night held the place of honor in the flower booth. When President McKlnley arrived at the food show the crowd had almost blockaded the hall and ?ome one proposed that he go through a rear entrance opening from the stage, from where the view was comparatively clear, but this he declined to do, saying he would attend Just as all people did. Guards made a way and the party passed up and down the aisles Inspecting and admiring the displays. He shook hands with many friends and acquaintances and at one booth he took a glass of lemonade and went to another in charge of one of his nieces to see her. There was vociferous cheering by the crowd as he entered, which was drowned out by the playing of "Hail to the Chief" by a brass band. Tabby. Evtrj dojr, they sar, Has his day.

Special to th Indianapolis Journal. BLOOMINOTONr-.Ind., Aug. 31.-One of the best evidences of prosperity is the fact that the attendance at Indiana University this year will be. larger than ever before. When men have money they send their children to the higher educational Institutions. The next term does not open until Sept. 29, but even now it is almost ImposEible to rent a cottage in Bloomington. Many of the students are married and live here during the Winter. Last year the attendance was 1.050. and every county in the State was represented. When President Swain began his administration here, in 1833. there was an attendance of only 672. To better provide for the large number that will be here the basement In the large building known as Wylle Hall Is being scoopecf out for recitation rooms. Every available fcot in the buildings, from basements to garrets. Is to be occupied. The departments of music and oratory will be stronger this year than ever. Mr. L. M. Hiatt, of Chicago, baritone singer in the Schubert Quartet, will have charge of the music and will direct the glee club. Mr. Hiatt is an expert on a number of instruments, and the club under his charge will be particularly fortunate. He is prominent in Y. M. C. A. work and possesses executive ability of a high order. The work in public speaking will be in charge of Prof. John M. Clapp, professor of oratory in Illinois College. The athletic outlook was never better. Among the old football men who are expected to return this year are Hubbard, Ray, Nlezer, Pike, Sparks, McGovney, Foster and Hurley. A number of promising candidates are already aesured and practice will begin about two weeks before the opening of the term. Misa Parry Surprised Her Mamma. Special to the Indianapolis journal.

DEATH OF FRANK C. IVES

BILLIARD CHAMPION DIES OF CON SUMPTION IX 3IEX1CO. His Famous Game with Roberts, the Noted English Flayer Death of Ex-Governor Merrill. GRAND RAPIDS, Mich., Aug. SI. A tel egram received by Dr. J. D. Teters, father-in-law of Frank Ives, the champion billiard player, announces the latter's death, which took place at Progreso. Mexico. Consumption was the cause of death. Ives's remains will be brought to Plalnwell. Mich. Frank C. Ives was born in Hastings, Mich., in 1865, and attracted attention in his home iown while yet a boy with his expert work as a pool and billiard player. Of course, none of the people in Hastings in those days ever thought of the pinkcheeked, pretty-faced boy some day becoming champion of the world, but at the age of sixteen he was good enough to make the best players In the town do their best. During the roller skating craze early in the eighties Ives developed quick and wonderful talent as a fancy skater. He Invented new figures and soon began to give exhibitions. His fame spread and it was not long until he started out as a full-fledged skating "professor," giving exhibitions of fancy skating in the little towns of Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois. He was only nineteen years old when he went to Chicago and attracted the attention of Slosson, who ran a billiard hall on Monroe street. Slosson was known as tho "student" and, while he could not beat Schaefer at the straight-rail game, he frequently could win at cushion caroms and his knowledge of the game attracted many novices for Instruction. Slosson saw that Ives had billiards In him and gave him a position in his blllard parlors, but it was not until he left Slosson and went with Schaefer that he became a professional player. He was soon playing with the "short-stops," or second-class men. Ha traveled over the country with Schaefer, giving exhibitions, learning practically everything Schaefer knew and lacking only the masterly touch which made Schaefer the "wizard" and champion. As late as the winter of 1891 Ives was still only a shortstop at balk line billiards and lost the medal that year to Carter in a game where Carter averaged thirty, at that time the highest average ever made at the game. It was not long, however, until there came a great revival in billiards and Schaefer and Slosson developed greater speed, while many of the second-rate players advanced into the class where the leaders had formerly, played. Ives was soon on even terms with Slosson and Schaefer and went to Paris and defeated all the French players, including the great Vignaux. from where he was challenged by Schaefer for claiming the championship medal. He returned to America and defeated Schaefer. but lost to the "Wizard" again, and went to London, where he defeated the greatest English player, the champion Roberts, playing the Englishman's own game with pockets on the table. The contest was one of the most famous ever played and ran for a week, being 6,000 points, or 1,000 each night, and nightly the cables carried the play and scores. The Englishman gained a lead the first three nights, but on Thursday night Ives "Jawed" the balls and ran up his score to that of the Englishman without a break. They cried "robber" In England, but the next night Ives continued his run without losing the balls from the pocket. Finally on the last night of the play, on account of the uproar his cleverness had caused, Ives opened the night's play by deliberately smashing Into the balls, and then with a few masterly strokes again "Jawed" them and ran out the game. After that the Enflish wanted no more American players, ves returned home and defeated all the former billiard masten until his health be gan to fail in the last few years. His last match was the one in New York two years ago, when Slosson won first, Schaefer second and Ives third, Schaefer afterward challenging Slosson and winning the medal. Ives played almost up to the day he left New York, two weeks ago, for Mexico. Last May. with Thatcher as a partner, he played Schaefer and Harrison a game of three-cusnion carroms, ana, wnne comparatively new at the game, he made the best record in the match. This is believed to have been his last professional appearance. Samuel Merrill. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 31. Ex-Governor Samuel Merrill, of Iowa, died this evening at the age of seventy-three years. About a week ago Governor Merrill suffered a stroke of naralysis and but little hopes of his recovery were entertained. He was Injured severely In an electric accident several months ago and he never entirely recovered from the shock. Daniel Maynadler Henry. CAMBRIDGE, Md., Aug. 31.-Danlel Maynadler Henry, a Democratic member of the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth congresses, died last night, aged seventy-eight years. NO MORE PUBLIC TESTS EXPERIMENTS AT SANDY HOOK TO BE IN SECRET HEREAFTER. Secretary Root Opposed to Foreigners Reaping Free Reneflt of United State Inventions. NEW YORK, Aug. 31. Secretary of War Elihu Root visited the proving grounds at Port Hancock, Sandy Hook, to-day and there witnessed a number of tests of high explosives, rapid-fire guns, disappearing carriages and the like. He was received with a ealute of seventeen guns when he arrived on the steamer General Meigs. With the secretary was the board of ordnance and fortifications, consisting of MaJ. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, president; Col. Royal T. Frank, of the artillery; Captain Tulra, of the engineer corps; Capt. C. B. Wheeler, ot the ordnance corp; Judge Joseph II. Outhwalte, of Ohio, civil member of the board, and Lieut. I. N. Lewis, of the artillery, recorder of the board. Major Butler, chief of the ordnance department of the East, wa also in the party. The secretary of war refused to allow representatives of the press tc be present, saying in the way of explanation: "The government In these tests Is In very much the same position a any one engaged in any branch of trade is where there are competitors. Such a one would not show his books to his rival and enable him to learn all the secrets of his trade, and yet If you Mere to accompany us this is exactly what we would be doing, for the government would throw open its books and expose to all Its rivals this part of its method of carryln on its business. My visit to the proving grounds is solely for the purpose of familiarizing myself with the various departments of my department. I intend making a thorough inspection of the guns. their emplacements, the fortifications and other matters of interest largely that I may Increase my knowledge of nuch things. Certain tests are to be made that render it necessary that it should be carried on privately, and be, in fact, a sort of army family affair." On the return of the party to this city nlther the secretary of war nor General Miles would say anything concerning today's experience, and when Lieutenant Lewis, the recorder of the board, was seen he said: "Secretary Root is very anxious that nothing definite should get Into print, either about the experiments had to-day or those to be had hereafter. I heartily agree with him, and feel that no efforts too strenuous can be taken to accomplish this end. There has been altogether too much publicity in the past. Take therlte as an instance. Nothing should be known of this explosive, and yet. the press have published columns concerning it. The direct result of this publicity is that we are experimenting not alone for ourselves, but for the whole civilized world as well: and this publicity had become a serious drawback to the development of our modern high explosive. The secretary is determined that it shall stop and that hereafter there shall be no more leakage. "A series of general tests were held at Sandy Hook proving grounds to-dav before the secretary of war with therlte and Isham shell, which is a system of throwing high explosives. The secretary also witnessed shots fired from six, eight and tenInch guns, mounted on the service disapI peartnj gun carriages. Arrapr-plercinff
