' It was unfortunate for last night's performance that the stock company at the Grand had not more opportunities during fair week to rehearse "The Nominee," which Is presented this week. The performance was crude In several places, but no doubt It will run smoother the rest of the week. The waits between the acts were so long as to be wearing on the patience of the audience. Nat Goodwin made the play famous several seasons ago. It is a wellwritten comedy in which funny situations hurry one after, the other. Mr. Craven, the stage manager of the company, has dressed tho stage handsomely, and this add3 much La the .attractiveness of the performance. Zlr. Kolker aa Jack Medford, tho fun-loving principal in the story, was boisterous and played the part with a lack of refinement. The situations could not fall to bring th " actor of the part the laughter of the audience. Mr. Macy as Leopold Bunyon, Medf ord's -partner In crime," was more pleasing than Mr. Kolker and gave a finished rendition of the character In his hands. Mr. Reynolds portrayed such a "dude" as ono expects In a burlesque show, but not In a comedy portraying real life. Mr. Stein's Colonel Murray was rather too silly and undignified to win the love of bright, refined Itose. played by Miss Donlco. On the whole the women of the company had the greater honor in the performance. Miss Shannon seemed at her best and was happy all through her picture of Mrs. Medford. Miss Fletcher's mother-in-law was certainly enough to make any man leave his home to "react" in New York (so artistic was she In the role), particularly such an Irresponsible man as Mr. Kolker's Jack Medford. Miss Donico had an opportunity to show that she was clever as well as pretty and she took it. Mrs. Craven was a realistic adventuress. The audience was of Rood sizo and enjoyed the play, notwithstanding the roughness in the lines, and was indulgent with tho members of the company who did not work aa artistically as they should. ' The Park "A Breexr Time." -Fits & "Webster's "A Breezy Time" opened a three days engagement at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon to a fair-sired au dience. ThL-t Ls the first appearance of "A Breexy Time" at popular prices in Indianapolis. The play Is supposed to be a musical farce, but there is not a good voice in the entire company, and, outside of a few musical specialties in the third act, it is a conglomeration cf nonsense which is not even refined. Tho first act opens In the apartments of Jack Dauber, a young artist. In Boston, whose guardian does not give him a sufficient allowance, and he is bet with creditors, and to get away from them he disguises himself as a tramp and arrives at his guardian's. Iteuben Merrlfleld's. Vermont' home, where he falls In love with his guardian's granddaughter, Daisy Ughtfoot, whose first appearance on the stage Is also In disguise as a young swell. The couple discover each other's identity and old Reuben Merrlfleld consents to their marriage. The first two acts are interspersed with specialties and old Jokes. Tho entire third act is solid specialties, ending with a cake walk, in which the whole company appear. The specialties are mostly bad singing, and few ordinary dancers are among the company. "A Breezy Time" will give a matinee and evening performance to-day and a Wednesday matinee, closing with the performance Wednesday evening. Thursday "His Better Half" will be seen at the Park for the remainder of the week. Empire Rlce and Barton. Rice & Barton's company, with Rice and Barton in the principal comic roles, opened Mty the Empire yesterday afternoon to the usual big Monday hou?e. The opening burlesque. "Maude, of the Tenderloin," with fat and funny Charles Barton in the center cf the stage most of the time, is the same as Riven last year, and provoked as much laughter as ever. Idylla Vyner, that incarnation of the hot-bird-and-cold-bottle cult, who played the leading- feminine rol of "Maude" last season, is still on the bill of fare. Whllo the tale is the same, the specialties are new and given with a will. The olio Includes Barton and EcKhoff, whose musical comedy act everv Empire "steady" known by heart; Lillian Nelson and Will H. Hlckey, whose comedy acrobatic act has been almost completely made over and is funnier than before; Princeton flsters, singing and danclnur soubrettes; Bell sisters, ditto; J. K. Mullen and Annie Dunn, in a clean and lively lot of nonsense, and Toughey and Mack, the Irlh pipers and dancers. To their clever work on the pipes and in the dancing way thcc two have added a trick automobile that blows up very successfully. With the exception, of the Bell sisters, the entire olio Is nude up of people quite familiar to Indianapolis vaudeville patrons. The entertainment closes with "McDoodle's Flat?," or rather "Gay Coney Island" revived. The best of the old Jokes and situations have been retained and a number of new ones put -n. As in the opening burlesque, several good songs are sung and a number of pretty dances Introduced. The how is especially well outfitted la costumeu asd scenery and does Its vnirk with energy, while the chorus singing Is above the average. The engagement la for all week, with daily matinees.

Frank Daniels will begin his reason at the Lyceum Theater, Scranton. Pa., on Oct. 9. The occasion will be marked by the first performance of "The Ameer," a new comic opera, composed by Victor Herbert, and written by F. M. Ranken and Kirk La Shelle. The month of the production of this opera will also witness its presentation in this cits'. Jacob Lltt has this year revived Bronson Howard s brilliant war spectacle, "Shenandoah," on an elaborate scale. The production is said to be new throughout and for the road it carries its own horses and cavalrymen. Over two hundred men and a great number of horses are used in the battle scene at the end of the third act. "Shenandoah" will be Eeen at English's before many weeks. Few American plays have been more cordially received by the critics and by theater-goers than the one Frank Mayo made out of Mark ' Twain's Missouri story, "Pudd'nhead Wilson," and in which he created the principal character, Dave Wilson. Something of the same homely quality that made "David Harura" one of the most popular novels of the season marks the. character of "Pudd'nhead Wilson," the cllentless lawyer, whose harmless fad is registering the thumb marks of every one he meets. The quaint aphorisms put into the mouth of Wilson by Mark Twain bid fair to add to the stock of American proverbs. "It were not best that we all think alike. It is difference of opinion that, makes horse races." "When angry, count four; when very angry, swear." These and many other similar sayings from "Pudd'nhead Wilson's calendar have come to be well known. Hardly less skilfull than the creation of such a character as Dave Wilson Is the art with which a plot is built around him. There is a mysterious murder, to which the only clew is the dagger used by the as sassin. Pudd'nhead. in his poky but effective way of investigating, finds the bloody imprint of a thumb on the blade. Turning to his record of thumb marks it does not take him long to fasten the crime upon a villager, and the climax of the play shows the "pudd'nhead" to be the smartest man of his community. When the play was last seen in this city Frank Mayo, writer of the play, enacted the title role. Now his son, Edwin M?yo, plays the part. It was a hard task for ycung actor to step at once into his fatner's place, but Edwin Mayo carries the burden with great skill. He is surrounded by a capable company, including Frank Carcpeau. Francis Graham and others as favorably known. "Pudd'nhead Wilson" will play two performances at English's, Wednesday and Thursday. The advance sale has been large. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

Second Ceremony Performed in Chnrch nt Newport Before on Assemblage of Prominent People. NEWPORT, R. I., Sept. 25. The Episcopal marriage service, supplementing that of the Russian Orthodox Church that was observed yesterday which made Prince Cantacuzene, Count Speransky of Russia, and Julia Dent Grant, daughter of Brig. Gen. Frederick E. Grant and granddaughter of Gen. U. S. Grant, husband and wife was celebrated at All Saints Chapel here at noon to-day. The assembly of Invited guests, notable for social and military distinction, made the ceremony one of the most brilliant ever witnessed at Newport. The family and social connections of the bride gave to the wedding a military as well as a diplomatic character, and the little church in which it took place was bright with blue and gold, the bridegroom's uniform easily outshining those of the home guard. A large number of the Newport summer colony had delayed their departure to attend the wedding, which came as a climax to one of the gayest seasons ever known at this popular resort. Rt. Rev. H. C. Potter, Protestant Episcopal "bishop, of New York, officiated, assisted by Rev. Dr. Kevins, of the American Church at Rome, but in accordance with the laws of the State of Rhode Island, Rev. Dr. Porter, of Emanuel Church, of this city, read that portion of the service which legally united the distinguished pair. A reception followed tho wedding ceremony at the Palmer residence, and lato this afternoon the Prince and Princess left for New York and St. Petersburg. All Saints Chapel, which seats not Quite 500. was well filled not half an hour before the time set fcr the ceremony, and the guests, as they waited, viewed a wealth of decorations in green and white. The walls and ceiling of the chapel were hung with vines, wreaths and white flowers, while the entire altar rail was covered with white roses. On the altar and chancel were suspended a large number of baskets filled with orchids, intermmgled with a chime of snowy floral wedding bells. Large garlands of bride's roses depended from the bells to two Italian columns, forming a bower which almost hid from view the bridal party as it stood at the altr. The only music was that of the organ which gave out the notes of the "Lohengrin" wedding march as the procession entered the church doors. At the same time Bishop Potter, Dr. Nevins and Dr. Porter, vested for the service, entered the chancel from tho vestry, followed by the Prince and Honore Palmer, a cousin of the bride, who acted as best man by proxy for Grand Duke Cyril of Russia, who was unable to be present. Tho bridal precession included only Miss Grant and her escort and the ushers, as there were no bridesmaids nor any maid ot honor. As the "bride's father at present is with the army in the Philippines, her brother. Ulysses S. Grant, third, a member of the third class at West Point, acted In his place. Mr. Grant wore the full cadet uniform. There were eight ushers: Potter Palmer, Jr.. a cousin of the bride; Lockwood Honore. uncle of the bride; Captain 6artorls, a member of Gen. Fltzhugh Lee's staff during the late war, and also a cousin of the bride; Robert L. Gerry, of New York; Roger Winthrop. of Newport; John Prentiss, of New York: Lathrop Randolph, of Boston, and Worthlngton Whltehouse, o! New York. Miss Grant was gowned In white. Her dress was severely cut but of the richest white satin, with a sweeping train and vel of tulle. She carried a shower bouquet ot stephanotis and lilies of the valley, and wore- tho gifts of the bridegroom, a corsage ornament of diamonds and enamel and rope of pearls. The prince, as he stepped down from the chancel to meet the briae, was attired in the full uniform of the Chevalier Garde, brilliant with red end gold. At the chancel the ushers separated, three passing to one side and three to the other, while the prince stepped down to meet his bride. The oral part of the services finished, the organ bust forth with the "Mendelssohn Wedding March" and the prince and princess led the way to the chapel door, followed by the ushers. Among the congregation besides the Immediate family were Mrs. Ulysses S. Grant, the grandmother of the bride; H. H. Honore, Edwin C. Honore, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Honore Jr., Mrs. Sartoris, wife of Capt. Sartcris. MaJ. Gen. Nelson A. Miles, Mrs. Miles and Miss Miles and Lieut. Col. Mlchner. of General Miles's staff; Gen.

ft H00SIER STONE TRUST

EVIDENCE GIVES IX COURT SHOWING A C03II1IXATIOX EXISTED. Suit Against the McCraya and Others by the Hollemsbe Stone Company. The presence of a stone trust in the southeastern part of the State was revealed yesterday by evidence brought out in a case which went to trial in Room 1, Superior Court. The plaintiff In the case is the Hollensbo Stone Company, of Westport, Decatur county. The stone company is suing George W. and John E. McCray, who compose the firm of George W. McCray & Co., and A. A. McCray and William J. Benner. George W. McCray & Co. are contractors and builders and do work where stone Is chiefly required. A. A. McCray and Wm. J. Benner have been known as the Indianapolis agents of the Holiensbe Stone Company. In 1S97 McCray and Benner sold a lot of stone to McCray & Co., to be used in some work they had on hand. The stone has not been paid for, it Is claimed, and the stone company is suing to recover about $346. The company made Its agents here party defendants because, according to the allegations, the agents made some arrangement with McCray & Co., by which they (the agents) would assume the indebtedness. Benner denies that he went into an arrangement of this kind and says if one was made it was on the part of A. A. McCray, who is a brother of Geo. Yf. and John E. McCray. The firm of McCray & Co. avers that it did work for McCray and Benner, who were also contractors in .a modest way, in payment for the stone purchased. A representative of the liollensbe Stone Company related yesterday how McCray and Benner were employed. Early In 1897 several stone companies of Decatur county entered into an arrangement by which they were to be represented by McCray and Benner, of this city. The agents were to take orders for stone and distribute these orders among the different companies. The public was not to know of this combination and perhaps would not have known had not the facta oeen brought out in evidence. McCray and Benner were supposed to represent one company. WEATHER MAN TESTIFIES. His Evidence Unimportant in a Damuse Suit on Trial. Chief Wappenhans, of the Weather Bureau, was called Into the Superior Court yesterday aa a witness in a damage suit against the street-car company. Chief Wappenhans was summoned to tell, what kind of weather prevailed on the afternoon of Feb. 29, 1S96, when Anthony Volz,.a driver for the Indianapolis Brewing Company, was hurt by a street car. He was driving across the track on Massachusetts avenue when his wagon was struck and he was thrown out He brought suit for $3,000 damages, claiming permanent injuries. The defense of the street car company was that the motorman tried to stop his car. but the track being ellppery on account of rain, he was unable to stop soon enoughs The plaintiff in his testimony denied that the track was "slick" from rain and claimed that it was dry and dusty that afternoon. The attorneys for th.o defendant called In Mr. Wappenhans to prove that the plaintiff was mistaken. The weather man went on the witness stand and read the weather record for the day in question. According to tho observations of the Weather Bureau on that day, it rained in tho afternoon. The case is not yet finished. The McMcholas Case. Justice Smock heard the evidence yesterday in the case of Mabella McNlchols against William and August Buschman, D. J. Smock, constable, and William EL Arnold for possession of property. Mrs. McNichols's household goods were attached, by the defendants.- and in a cas brought' by William and August Buschman and Lydia Drimmie the finding was for Mrs. McNlchols. The case was, however, appealed and the goods are held by the constable. Justice Smock took the case under advisement. The point which the defendants' attorneys are trying to establish Is that Mrs. McNlchols Is liable on the debt incurred by Mrs. Nead. who mortgaged her property in the name cf Mabel McNlchols, for the reason that the mortgage was recorded and Mrs. McNlchols is bound to take cognizance of the public records. The case under advisement .will probably be appealed, no matter which way tho decision is given. The probable reason, it Is said, for the fight being made by- the defendants is on account of the damage suit likely to result for the detention of the goods under the present status of tho cases. Grows Out of Horn aday Forgeries. A suit growing out of the forgeries said to have been committed by Thomas B. Hornaday was brought .In the Superior Court yesterday by Meyer & KIser against the Indiana National Bank. The plaintiffs loaned Hornaday money on mortgages which. It is claimed, were forged. They wrote checks on the Indiana National Bank tor the amount loaned. They claim that as soon as they discovered the forgery they notified the bank, but found that the checks had already been paid. They demand Judgment for $1,500. Probate Affairs. The will of Andrew Zehe was probated yesterday in the Circuit Court. He bequeathed $3C0 to Sacred Heart Church for Its care and attention and prayers offered for his wife and himself. He left $30 to St. Vincent's Hospital and $2u0 to a brother In Germany. Goerge Sohn was appointed executor of the estate. Anna C. McKee was yesterday appointed administratrix of John F. McKee. Bond. $2,000. , Mary Anderson's Divorce Complaint. Mary Ellen Anderson brings cult for divorce from Sherman Anderson, to whom she was married on June 2. 1832.

GLASS TRUST'S PROFITS WHAT IT CLAI31S IT WILL MAKE, AS set out in rnosrECTUS. Estimates the Plants In It Will Clear Over ?3,5OO,OO0 In 180D Alone. The promoters of the window-glass trust have issued a prospectus, In which the nature of the business which they intend to conduct and the mode of procedure in organizing thecombine are set forth authoritatively for the first time since the promoters called the manufacturers together for the purpose of placing the matter before them. It Is claimed that the prospectus. Instead of clearing up the mystery surrounding the trust, tends to make the affair more obscure and confusing. The prospectus is as follows: . "The American Window-glass Company has been Incorporated under the laws of the State of Pennsylvania for the manufacturers of glass and glassware. The capital stock is: 40,000 shares 7 per cent, cumulative preferred stock Sl.OW.OOO 130,000 shares common stock 13,000,000 Total capitalization $17,000,000 "The owner of the plants purchased take about SO per cent, of the purchase price of their plants in common stock of the company and the remainder of the purchase price In cash. The net profits of the plants purchased are as follows: Year ending 1S95 ; $704,068.73 Year ending 1897.. 1,211.134.46 Year ending 1S98.. 2.4S3.344.26 Year ending 1899, partly estimated, will exceed 2,500,000.00 The prospectus then proceeds to point out the advantages of the consolidation. It has been In effect, practically as well organized as now, for two years. While the nmall profit shown under the year 1S96 Is due partly to the operation of a limited number of pots, it is largely due to excessive competition. In 1S97 the American Glass Company was formed and its effects were at once made apparent. "It is reasonable to presume," the prospectus argues, "that further economies In production will arise from consolidation which will still further increase the profits." The prospectus closes with the following directions: "If you desire to subscribe please sign the accompanying subscription paper and return it to the Farmers' Deposit Bank, Pittsburg, and inclose your check for 20 per cent, of your subscription on or before Sept. 23. 1S99." M. K. McMullln and T. H. Given have affixed their names to the prospectus, thus declaring their identity as organizers. WHAT A GLASS MAN SAYS. Thc conduct of the organization has been continuously withheld from the public," a prominent glass man stated yesterday, "owing to tho litigation liable to arise if the facts became widely known. The suit brought in Madison county. on the part of the etate to-restrain the Indiana companies from Joining the trust is looked upon as the test upon which the life of the trust, at least in Indiana, depends. The , litigation was Instituted by the blowers' association J"? "Sht by it for the purpose of fw0lv ?5ine. comblne. The workers feel inat with the factories running independently more work will be offered them. If the trust is formed, it can only operate Its factorres six months out of every year. If the fires are allowed to burn longer an overproduction will result and, consequently, falling prices. The (blowers realize that, if the combine Is defeated, the factories will run on a competitive basis, operate for nine months out of every year and cell glass at the lowest price possible, thus necessitating a larger production fnr tuhf'h tho mo will ibe. paid In proportion. They do not ......I, iiunovci, iiiiti an over-siocKea market will result and that the factories may be obliged to close down, thus denying the men work altogether." Jfie independent manufacturers, or those who havfe refused the offers of the trust, are likewise interested in the outcome of the test case. The Independent operators, it Is etated, are not adverse to the formation of the combine inasmuch as the profits of the latter will sisn ha tho nmAta nt via in dependents. A slump in prices for the purpvAoo vi unvjng oui me anti-trust lactones is not looked for. Labor will act as a mediator between the two. And, as neither the trust nor the independent factories can operate without the skilled labor necessary, the Independents argue that the trust cannot defy the blowers who would, in a case of that kind, declare a lockout against the combine. The independents, therefore, it is said, look upon the test case 6imply as a fight between the 'blowers, who are urging an acceptance by the factory owners of a set of iron-bound rules and wage scales, and the operators. The sympathy of Che independents, it was also stated yesterday, were with the trust. Bicycle Trust Meeting. The board of directors of the bicycle trust will hold a meeting in New York next week. It Is expected the directors will decide at this meeting what wheels will be built next season. It is known that the In diana Bicycle Company will be kept in operation, but there is a good deal of uncertainty as to the future of the Indianapolis Chain and Stamping Company, which is also a part of the trust.

TO FIX FOOD STANDARDS

STATE HEALTH BOARD DECIDES TO MAKi: AN ACTIVE CAMPAIGN. Complaints Are Accumulating Over the State Against Sale of Adulterated Goods. The State Board of Health has become restive under its Inability to carry out the duties imposed upon it by the last General Assembly and has finally decided on a way by which the lack of funds may not interfere with the Immediate promulgation of the pure food law. Throughout tho State, local health boards have been piling up evidence against the sellers of adulterated foods and have mado life miserable for the members of the State board In their efforts to have the standards for various food stuffs fixed. The State board has found it difficult to get members together. While they are willing to give their time for nothing, they feel they should not be asked to pay their expenses also. The funds of the State board are so depleted that there Is now no provision for the payment of the traveling and hotel exrenses of the members when they hold their regular meetings The demands for a promulgation of the food law have been so strong of late, however, that the members have devised 9 way to do the work without any great ex. ase. Three of the members live out of the city while two. Dr. Henry Jameson and J. N. Hurty, live here. It has been agreed by correspondence that Dr. Hurty shall send out the regular written notices of the meeting to be held next week to all the members, but that only one of the out-of-town members shall pay any attention to it. Dr. Davis, who lives at Richmond, will attend the meeting at his own expense and with Drs. Jameson and Hurty, who live here, a quorum will be present to pass the resolution already prepared by Dr. Hurty, promulgating the pure food law and fixing all standards. There is a wide difference of opinion between the city and State boards of health as to the rights of the city board to proceed against the sellers of adulterated whisky. The city board is firm in the belief that It cannot secure a conviction unless the State board first fixes a standard of purity for whisky. Some time ago a test suit was filed against a local firm for selling adulterated vinegar and the city lost the case on the contention of the defendant's lawyers that there was no standard for the purity of anything and that, therefore, there was no one to say how pure or Impure the vinegar was. The State board, on the other hand, claims that the city board already has all the authority it needs to prosecute venders of adulterated liquors. Dr. Hurty claims the pure food law specifies that the United States Pharmacopoeia shall be the aut thorlty for fixing the purity of all liquors and drugs and that, when the State board issues its proclamation, it will fix the standard for the State exactly as it Is fixed by by the United States Pharmacopoeia. The contention of the city board is that this only applies to drugs and that the new law specifically states that "The State Board of Health shall adopt such measures as may be necessary to facilitate the enforcement hereof and shall prepare rules and ordinances where and when necessary, regulating minimum standards for foods and drugs, defining specific adulteration and declaring the proper methods of collecting and examining drugs and articles of food." This, Dr. Clark of the city board, takes to mean that, until the State board not only fixes standards of purity but also specifies the methods of collection and examination of samples, sellers of adulterated Uquors may defy the board. When asked what the city board would do In case the State board fixed the standards sooner than expected. Dr. Clark said yesterday, that the moment it was done the city board was prepared to make wholesale arrests of violators of the law. The Unsanitary Schoolhoases. Secretary Hurty, of the State Board of Health, left yesterday for Clark's Hill, where he will probably cause tho arrest of those officials responsible for. the opening of a schoolhouse which has been condemned by the State Board of Health. The condemnation of schoolhouses has caused a vast amount of trouble and particularly of the ono at Brownsburg. Tho health authorities say it is in the hands of the attorney general and that department says it will have to wait until the health authorities act. In the meantime the schoolhouse Is closed and the children have no place in which to attend school. CLERK GAGGED AND ROBBED. Hunter and Adams Held for a Burglary nt Clayton.
