Park '-Flnnegan's Ball. There Is not bo much In "Finnigan's Ball," which opened at the Park yesterday for its farewell engagement in thU city, as fhere is in the individual work of those tvto popular knockabout comedians, Charles Murray -ad 0111 e Mack. The piece is an inane bucket of drivel, as brainless as if manufactured in a paresis factory, but it holds together about as well as similar hurdlerace farces, where the members of the company keep In training by their rapid coming and going. Everybody is kept on tho run, from petite Kitty Beck, In her amorous red : tights, to the motherly-faced Mayme Taylor, In white silk skirts, and who sings ballads of the good old college platform genre. As long as the numerous soubrettcs and the Irish comedians are scratching gravel at a lively pace "Finnlgan's Bali" keeps the audience in hysterics, but when the piece slows down for a few moments of scattering dialogue it grows weary and is only relieved by the introduction of another rush of monkey shines. These Irish farceurs, however, show they are keeping one hand on the public pulse while carrying a hatchet in the other, for the quiet places are never long enough to lore the attention of an audience. Murray and Mack are two leading favorites with the Park patrons, who apparently have the greatest confidence in their work and loyally pack the house at each performance. With standing room taken t both performances yesterday the show starts off with tho promise of another big week at this record-breaking theater. The greater part of the last act is devoted to specialties, none of which is worth featuring. The Grierson sisters act would be Just the thing for a church social. They have pretty, but light voices and dance like a couple of girls fresh from the conservatory. Their personality is attractive, and when they shed their flrl graduating dresses and lose the ama;eur flavor they will' be able to "make ;ood." Enjpire "Bou Ton Burlesquer. One of the additions to the "Bon-Ton Burlesquers." which began a week's engagement at the Empire yesterday afterloon to a house filled to the doors, is Wcl'and, clown juggler, who does a number of Juggling tricks with a high hat and a stick and other properties, including three "canat the audience. If tho Iloosler nine were as good at catching fielded balls as Weiland ' is at catching potatoes on a fork, the Kansas City record would have been different. Larry Smith and Mamie Champion are repeating their family fight, with horsewhip biigato, of last year, and Frank Byron and Louise Langdon are also doing the same thing over again. Both arts were well received. Gallagher and Barrett, sidewalk .Tag chewers," perpetrate a lot of Jokes, with a high percentage of new ones in the bunch, and do their work well. May Taylor, the "sunbeam soubrette," casts a ray of gladness into the hearts of her hearers by singling out various victims in the audience, fat men preferred. The Dream of the Orient." in which Egyptian dancing by a dozen young women is the most prominent feature when given in the large cities, was toned down yesterday to a very mild two-step for Indianapolis production, though the girls are allowed to appear in costumes of the Midway order. The closing burlesque is practically tho same as last year's success, with the addition of more "monkey business" by Byron and Smith, as the two countrymen. Larry Smith has suc:eeded in getting a better grasp on the charcter and makes a much more realistic tanner of the part than last season. Daily natinees will be given all week. Xoten of the Stage. Royalties were paid on receipts of J3,2flo !or eleven performances of "What Happened to Jones" in Johannesburg, South Africa.

When performed at Fewro for the first time, in the presence of f.000 people, it was declared to bo one ot the best things the composer has written. Maud Adams has proved herself Independent of plays. Anybody who can crowd V?.ate.rs a she dld with "Romeo and Juliet can prosper in anything.- Therefore Lady Babbie may look forward to the coming season with equanimity. Julius Cahn has besun the publication of the monthly edition of his "Official Theatrical Guide," The issue Is a neat one. and useful to those interested in the "proXeiaion. Cahn has become something of an author In recent year, publishing a theatrical guide which contains over 700 pages and is a valuable book to all people connected with the stage and also to cominercial travelers. English's box office will be opened again to-day for "The Purple Lady" advance sale xof seats. In the company playing this -Rosenfeld farce is Teresa Maxwell. a Iloosler girl, who Is receiving praise for her beauty as well as her acting.

Sept. 4. The Post will say to-morrow: Coal operators of Ohio have gone the Pittsburg Coal Company, the combination of Pittsburg interests!, some better in the way of an advance in the price of coal.

Henry Murden, aged seventy-five, a wellknown real-estate agent and merchant, has made his homo with them.

HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Sept. 4.-One of the mosz peculiar phenomena ever encountered In tho Indiana oil field is found north of this city. It is known to the oil operators as the "lobe," and has caused an outlay to the operators of many thousands of dollars. It is nothing more than a zig-zag strip about two hundred feet in width, extending from the Van Buren oil field across the State to the reservoir on Lake Mercer, in Ohio. Its peculiar and expensive feature lies in the fact that wherever encountered the limestone is on an average of five hundred feet deeper than elsewhere. This necessitates about 350 feet of extra drive pipe, which at the present high price of iron, means an additional cost nf $C00 a well. Until limestone Is reached It is one solid depth of gravel and sand. It is believed that at an early period It was a river, and the "lobe" marks its course.

FEAR TROUBLE. (Concluded from First Page. and dissent by the audience at this declaration by Jouaust. M. Labor! said he was surprised that Gen. Gonse had included incorrect Information In the secret dossier and asked Gen. Gonse who made up the secret dossier. General Gonse I composed one of the secret dossiers by means of annexed documents communicated to the Ministry, but the minds of all the war ministers were made up before they had any cognizance of these documents. M. Laborl Docs General Gonse assume responsibility for those secret dossiers to July. 18S3? General Gonse Yes. I had charge of It. M. Laborl How happens it. then, that a telegram from the French ambassador at Rome, sent by the Foreign Ofiice to the War Ofiice referring to payments to Esterhazy by an Italian agent, was not added to the secret dossier? . General Gonse There were plenty of others. All were not included, but only the most Important. M. Laborl Was the Information of the French ambassador at Rome of lesa importance than the garbled conversation of M. Painleve? Colonel Jouaust I will not put the question. M. Laborl Why was the Information against Dreyfus always included In th dossier, and never any incriminating Esterhazy? Colonel Jouaust I also refuse to put that question. M. Laborl .All right; I think the question itself fully ani.wers the purpose. Commandant Culgnet, who made up the secret dossier, replying to Colonel Jouaust, explained that he omitted everything emanating from foreigners as interested and misleading to France. Several documents of this kind had been omitted, particularly one reciting a conversation between a foreign sovereign and a French attache. In

tne course of which tne sovereign was represented as ying that what was taking place in France was proof of the power of the Jews. "That," added Commandant Culgnet, "mfght be regarded as against Dreyfus, but nevertheless it was not included in the dossier." M. Demange expressed surprise that the document in question had not appeared in the war Omce dossier. Commandant Culgnet It does not annear there because it was received at the For eign Office. . M. Paleologue. Intervening, said that the Foreign Office only acted as an Intermedi ary In that matter. LABORI ASKS FOR ALL PROOFS. M. Laborl commented In a surprised way on the fact that alleged fresh proofs against Dreyfus were still spoken of, and demanded that all proofs be produced once for all. General Chanolne was asked by Colonel Jouaust if he had any explanations to offer. and replied that his duty was only to proouce the secret dossier, and that he could not say anything regarding documents out side the dossier. Replj-ing to M. Laborl, Commandant Culg net declared that there were documents relating to Dreyfus in a dossier connected with the espionage in the Intelligence Department. M. Labor! said he must Insist that nil these documents be produced at the secret session or tne court-martial, at which M. Cernushi is to be examined. General Billot, formerlv. minister of warhere mounted the platform and said he was glad that reference had been made to the secret dossier, as it enabled him to nrotest against the insinuation that he had handed coramanaant tnngnet a document from the secret dossier. He had handed the document in question to M. Cavalcnac. M. Demange beerced that Colonel Jouaust ask M. Cavaignac to produce the document, but as M. Cavaignac was not present, the incident was temporarily dropped. m. .uayer, wno is on the staff of the Temps, testified that the spy Guenee informed him that the War Office had indisputable proof of the guilt of Dreyfus, and that it had a snapshot photograph representing Dreyfus In conversation with a military attache at Brussels. After a brief reeesa nf thp court-martial Dr. Peyrot deponed that he met M. Bertullus, Judge of the Court of Cassation at Dieppe, after the arrest of Lieutenant Col. Henry, and that M. Bertullus narrated to him the dramatic scene In his office with Henry. M. Bertullus was very jubilant over Henry's arrest, and said he was convinced that if Henry were detained, everything would be known in due time. M. Tomps, a special commissary of the railway nollce, deposed that he photofraphed the bordereau by orders or Colonel andherr. He had not manipulated the plate with a view to concealing marks upon the documents. When the facsimile of the bordereau was nublished Lieutenant fni rtnel Picquart ordered the witness to discover wno naa supplied the photographic copy. While engaged in the Investigation of this matter Lieutenant Colonel Henrv on one occasion approached the witness and clearly evinced great uneasiness at the successive revelations in the Dreyfus affair. Lieutenant Colonel Henrv told the wit that the revelations could only have emanaiea rrom an individual who had had the documents in his hand. Henry, the witness testified, added: 'They can only emanate from our office, where only Picquart, Lauth. Urlbelln or myself could have revealed them. I am sure that neither Lauth, Grlbeim nor myself have been so indiscreet. You would do well to discover who Is responsi- ' WANTED FALSE TESTIMONY. M. Tomps detailed successive steps in his Investigations showing how Lieutenant Colonel Henry and Commandant Lauth had brought pressure to bear to make him im plicate Lieutenant Colonel Picquart, and their angry threats when the witness's re port did not suit them. They accused the witness of being influenced by some one. Replying to M. Demange. M. Tomps said he had only once mixed up Esterhazy in connection with the report. Esterhazy had been seen at a foreign agent's residence. wnicn naa two exits, ana naa other sus plclous relations. Witness had found cor roboratlon of this. Replying to M. Laborl, M. Tomps further aetaiied Lieutenant colonel Henry s press ure on him with a view to having the1 com municatlon of the bordereau to the Matin ascribed to Lieutenant Colonel Picauart Witness did not know if the leakage at the war omce continued after Dreyfus left. Detective Hennion testified as to the as sertion to the effect that Paulmler, the valet of colonel bchwartzkoppen, the Ger man military attache, had seen plans of fortresses signed by Dreyfus on his master's table. Hennion had furnished a type written report on tne subject showing that Paulmler never saw or ever said . be had seen such documents. M. Labor! pointed out that the headquar ters stan: naa alleged that the detective only reported that Paulmler had disap peared ana mat nis address was unknown. Probably. M. Laborl suggested, the gentle men at headquarters merely misunderstood the report of tne detective. Commandant Culgnet attempted to explain that the police report indicated that Paulmler had disappeared, but that afterwards It was discovered that the police were wrong. Captain Junck corroborated the statement of Commandant Culgnet and said that the police had furnished a written report. M. Laborl much regretted that this re port could not be found, and added amjdst much excitement: "But this is always the case. It is always Impossible to get at the bottom of interesting incidents owing to documents being missing." Commandant Lauth reappeared with the view of refuting the evidence of M. Tomps. Lauth declared that no one in the statist ical section dreamed of suspecting Picquart when the inquiry was ordered as to how the Matin secured tne bordereau, suspicion at tached rather to the civilian clerk, who was on friendly terms with Tomos. After Commissary Tomps had repHed the court retired to deliberate on the subject of holding another secret session, when the members of the court returned Colonel Jouaust announced that tho court would tit In camera to-morrow. The name of Siege Bassett was then called. Mr. Bassett is the London corre spondent of the Matin, who furnished the Esterhazy interviews, and MM. Laborl and Demange pointed out that Esterhazy' s con fession was too important to De discussed at the fag end of the day's session. On suggestion of counsel for the defense the court-martial adjourned for the day at 11: 10 o clock a.m. -4 STORMY TIMES AHEAD. Dreyfna Proceeding May Be Quashed and Military Clique Punished. NEW YORK.

ESTERIIAZY'S PREDICTIONS. He Says Socialists Will Triumph If Dreyfus la Acquitted. LONDON, Sept. L Major Count Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy, writing to the Evening News to-day, describes the expert handwriting evidence in tho court-martial of Capt. Alfred Dreyfus at Rennes as an overwhelming mass of stupid nonsense. He refers to the late Lieutenant Colonel Henry, Major Du Paty de Clam and himself as being "victimized by the general staff to cover their own faults." Continuing he says: "France is being devastated by a civil war all the more abominable because it is not being fought with arms. The Dreyfus verdict will not end the strife. The acquittal of Dreyfus, for which the government is working secretly, will result in the complete disorganization of the French military aystera and the triumph of the Socialists." Saya Dreyfus la Guilty. NEW YORK. Sept. 4. A dispatch to the World from London says: "Esterhazy, being asked by a reporter of the Sunday Special, after reading the evidence given at Rennes, If he still deems Dreyfus guilty, answered: 'Tea, guilty; most decidedly so. And yet I am afraid the court-martial is going to acquit him. It looks very much like it just at present, at any rate.' "The interviewer asked what In that case would happen to Mercler. " 'Oh. replied Esterhazy. 'Mercler certainly will be condemned for this miserable traitor of a Jew, and that will only be the beginning of the deluge. Mark my words, the acquittal of Dreyfus will be only the beginning of trouble in France. " 'Why then,' he was asked, 'don't you, who know the truth about everything, go over to Renne and help set things right?' " 'No,' said Esterhazy, with a sneer, I am much better over here.'

FIFTEEN FORGERIES. History of These Tells the Story of the Dreyfus Case. New York Press, In forgery is written a large part of the history of the Dreyfus case.

Third Letter from Schwarzkoppen to Panlzzardi, dated August, 1S0$, redated by Henry. March, 1S94. In this an initial designating the name ot a spy was scratched out and replaced by the Initial D.

Torturer Lebron'a Ancestry. New York Press. When the story of the cruel treatment of Dreyfus on the He du DIable was made public, attention was drawn to the former French colonial minister, Lebror., and to his ancestry. It was under Lebron's orders that the cruelties were Inflicted upon Dreyfus, and it would seem as if th ex-minister came from a race capable of any sort of atrocities. M. Lebron is a great-grandson of the renegade priest. Lebron, who was a member of the National Convention, and one of the most blood-thirsty monster produced by the French revolution. As representative of the convention at Arras, hr msde mothers stand by the guillotine while their children were being put to death to the -nound of a military band. Dipping his sword in the blood, he exclaimed: "How I love it." It is agreeable to read that he. Vo. was guillotined in the last weeks of the convention. Such is the ancestry of the man who tortured Dreyfus.

It has constituted solely my morning and evening meal for the past eight months. Previous tu this, worn out with overwork, broken down in health, dyeperfcla having led to Brlght's disease, heart trouble and what not, I was given up to die.

"I had at the store for my supper a dith and a half dish, and was impressed, perhaps unfavorably, ith its richness, perceiving at the same time how very appropriately the new food was named. Strange as it may appear, its rffect was almost at once apparent. Seated that evening at my home, I remarked to the family that it was the finrt time in a wh ile yeu. that I had felt like myself. I was much elated and naturally attributed the change to GrapeNuts.
