"Lady Windermere's Fan," a society play by Oscar Wilde, was given last night by the Grand Stock Company and let it be said In the beginning that the performance was a hlghiy creditable one In every respect. The heavy cast comprises nearly every member of the company and every one tried his or her very best. There was no hitch nptlceable, end with exception of "some very protracted intermissions every thing went extraordinarily smooth. Of course heavy changes have ,to be made and the elaborate settings In the second and third act required much work and atten tlon. But the wait was too long, end the a . a auaience oecame impatient. mey were . however repaid, for the scenic arrangements were splendid. . Both the reception room of Lord Windermere and Lord Darlington's bachelor apartments were exquisitely done. Exception might only be taken to the backing in the first and last act. Such landscape is not to be found In London. Miss Lucll'e LaVerne as Mrs. Erlynne made a great hit. She had Indeed caught the spirit of her exceedingly difficult role and brought it out In a. manner which carried away the audience. Ilex acting, particu larly In the third act, was masterly." The applause was general. -Miss Shannon as Jidy Windermere was very good. A little less of lachrymose speech, and tho effect will be heightened. Her bearing otherwise was graceiui and Impressive. Mr. Kolker's Iord Windermere was a good figure. The actor succeeds! In picturing tho peculiar .situation into which Lord Windermere was driven with great truthfulness. Another good figure was that of Lord Darlington by Mr. Mary. The author has shown evident care with this part and Mr. Macy. although occasionally too quick, brought it out impressively. What is cynic, he asks? "A man who knows the price of everything iind the value of nothing."- Similar pointed lines are abundant in this strong work. To the remark of Mr. Cecil Graham, who was impersonated la a ry clever way by Mr. Thomas Reynolds, what is experience? "ExperiT.ee L the name one gives to bis mistakes." , In the tene In the bachelor's apartments the gentlemen showed off in a decidedly successful manner. Lord Auguftus Lrbon (Mr. Patton). Mr. Charles Dumly (Mr. John Stepplir.g) and the ren of the guests all contributed through clever acting to tho success of the evening. A particularly effective scene developed between Iidy Windermere and the Ducluss of Uerwlek. The litter part, taken by Ml Danico, showed th uctrcti's ability In a Very favorable Iij;ht. A llttl matter ne'd a little more attention, and that is the constant twisting of mutaches and changing of monocles. This produces a disagreeable effect. There is no question that this play surpass ull tho.-c previously given, both as to it value and the manner In which it was given. Mr. Claude Broolu, the new stage manager, seems to be a go.', rnan in a good Plate, His work wa strongh notlceutle. The stage offtred a porfe picture, and the lar? audience did not ht.'.A back with their tlnrere appreciation of the

production. Miss Rand. In her little part, was good, as always, and all minor parts were taken well. Park-"A Ragtime Reception. Once upon a time there came to the Park Theater, in the city of Indianapolis, a thrilling play called "Lost in New York" or some similar title history Is not sure on this point. In this play there was a dark scene. In which a tramp lay sleeping on a park bench. A policeman came alor.g and rapped the tramp smartly on the soles of his shoes. The tramp said. "Come in," the audience roared with laughter. The tramp then arose and sanir a song called "The Whistling Coon." Even at that day the song was being published in the advertising "songster" of the Klek-him-ln-the-Iacc Medicine Company, and therefore must have

originally been sung at Cleopatra's afternoon muslcales. After the tramp finished one verse he bent himself backward Into a right-angled triangle and whistled. When he had done the chorus he stooped Into a sitting posture and danced off the stage. That tramp was Gus Pixlcy. Since the event described the Park Theater has been burned to tho ground and rebuilt, and, apparently, the theatrical business has changed its skin. To the old-timers It was like picking up a time-stained book 3nd finding between its leaves an aged, unpaid bill when they saw at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon and last night Gus Pixley doing the same turn that he did In the tear-dimmed past. If persistency makes millionaires, Pixley should have been fabulously rich some time ago, but he isn't he ia still doing the old tramp turn In ten-twent'-thirf houses. It is too bad, for Plxley la really a comedian. The press agent of the "Ragtime Reception" company said Pixley had been for a number of years chief comedian with the Casino forces, of New York. The same press agent said Beatrice Goldle, of his company, was several years prima, donna of Augu: tin Daly's "Geisha" company. True, Miss Goldie was once with the Wilbur Opera Company, and she has a voice better than the averaee of her cla?3 of actresses. William P. De Vaull foisted on the audiences that old, old gag about his brother floating down the river on a folding bed while he accompanied him on tho piano. That was once a good Joke. But the Park Theater audiences are of angelic disposition. An actor could hardly leave that theater after an engagement without leaving his heart behind with thqse good people that were so kind to him and did not trouble him to think a little and turn out some bright new stuff. "A Ragtime Reception" is a bunch of variety turns, with some senseless talk interspersed. It would be just as well to make the show straight vaudeville, with a burlesque on the end, as they do at the Empire. There are some entertaining turns In the show. Gladys Van is pretty, and, since her success In New York last summer, has taken on flesh and spirits and Is now perfectly hnppy. She "has lost all the cynicism that she had when she appeared at the Empire last season with Truly Shattuck and some other clever people, who made a mucn better show than the one with which Gladys is now traveling. Yesterday's audiences welcomed her. singing of Id Leave My Happy Home for "iou," and made her do it over again several times. Birdie De Vaull does some clever singing and dancing. She has red hair and a bright smile. Edith Klngsley makes a lyric out of "Why Don t You Get a Baby of Your own?" The stage manager has not done all he could with the material at hand. "A Ragtime Reception might be made a sparkling show. The chorus numbers are good and there ought to be lots more of them. It is not nearly as good a show, as it stands, ns "His Better Half," which played at the Park recently. It must be remembered that it la not Miss uoldie s fault that the press agent declares her to have been a Daly prima- donna, r.or Plxley"a that he is heralded a great Casino comedian, nor helpless little Gladys Van's that she Is . said to be the New Yorh World's yellow no, red soubrette. The only way one can judge whether a performance be liked by the Park's patrons is by the applause, and there were only two or three encores yesterday. Empire Butterfly Burlesquers. The Butterfly Burlesquers opened a week's engagement at the Empire yesterday afternoon. "A Quick Lunch" Is the title of the hash on which the curtain rises. It is naturally plotless, but the specialties are lively and while no one member of the chorus 1 a dream of loveliness, every one has the air of belonging in the business, and the voices are more than good. Everybody works as hard as if there were a strange manager out in front looking for talent, and makes the burletta a go. Norma Wills and Monte Collins fur nish the leading act of the oik). Miss Wills's rendition of "The Palms" shows her sweet soprano has lost none of its clearness, and Collins Introduces a good many new and clever bits into hlu turn. The act clear through is refined and contains much quiet comedy. Phillips and Naynon's trained trop ical birds, which includes parrots, cocka toos, pigeons and a macaw with more colors in his make-up than are in Mary Ann s Sunday hat, arc O'ood performers and their act took well. Other entertainers in the olio are Dora Busch. a handsome worn an with a first-class "female baritone' voice; Al Lubln. in a mixed violin and vocal performance, including the new song of How Would You Like to be a Dog:'' Barrett Brothers, Irish comedians, and the colored comedians, the Lldredges, who are giving a "refined" coon song sketch which would be a much bigger success if there were not so many thousand., so to speak. or others doing the same work. Billy Eld redge has cut out entirely the grotesque dancing which used to get him called back again and again until he had to stop for want of breath. The closing burlesque is built on the lines of "The Two Old Cron les," and as the chorus Is capable and Norma Wills takes the leading part, it Is a decided success in a musical way. Good costumes and handsome special scenery are brought out In both burlesques. The usual dally matinees will be given through the week. One of the Symphony Artists. Miss Elsa Rutgger, 'cellist, who is to play at one of the symphony concerts) In this city, appeared for the first time In this country Saturday evening at the Symphony Orchestra (concert in Boston. The Boston Sunday Herald has this to say of her: "Miss1 Ruegger's performance of the solo part showed her to be a young artist of admirable skill. Her technique is ample and she plays with a musician's sincerity of style, and a freedom from affectation and unnecessary display that win esteem for her at once. Elegance, warmth of feeling. Intelligence and a leaning toward what is best and worthiest in her art are among the strongly marked qualities that were clearly apparent In all that she did. Her Intonation Is fautless. her execution without a blur, and her taste wholly refined. She Is an excellent and very Interesting artist, and the justly favorable impression she made was convincingly emphasized by the cordial applause and the enthusiastic recalls she received at the end of the con--cert. Miss Ruegger played with success in Berlin, Vienna. Paris and London, as well as in many smaller cities." A ew Waltz Song;. A very tuneful waltz ong by Mr. Bruno Troemcl. of this city, has just been published by Carlln & Lennox. The title. "While Our Hearts are Young." happlly conveys the buoyant spirit of the composition, which is dedicated to Miss Sophie C. Bradford, whose portrait and autograph illumine the title page. The melody Is simple and the accompaniment well written except in two or three instances, where simplicity has been sacrificed for effect, both at variance with the song and the laws of harmony. With these exceptions the song, being for medium voice, has all the elements conducive to popularity. Dfwey Saw "Znm." WASHINGTON. Oct. 23,-The new National Theater was to-night the scene of a great gathering of the social and political leaders In the Nation's capital to witness Mrs. Islie Carter s performance of "Zaza." Admiral Dewey, accompanied by Lieutenant Caldwell and Major Eurgerson. occupied a proscenium box. and was greeted by anplause and cheers. The admiral gracefully acknowledged the attention shown him. Xer Opera u t FrUc. SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 23. "The Conspirators." a new comic opera, was produced for the first time at Morosco's Grand Opera House to-night. F. J. Stewart composed the music and Clay M. Green wrote the libretto. The scene is laid In Spain. The optra was originally written for Agnes Huntington, but was never produced, as y.h" retired from the stige. Th- opera was received with favor. Maiitrll'a Debt Wiped Ont. CHICAGO. Oct. 23.-Robert B. Mantell. tho actor, was relieved of his financial obligations in the United States District Court to-day. He filed his petition several months ago, scheduling 113,817 liabilities and $1.ma fleets, rind when the matter had boen passed upon by the referee and came o-

of the court. The Lombard! Ileorgnnlted. KANSAS CITY. Mo., Oct. 23. The Lom bard! Italian Grand Opera Company, which disbanded here Saturday, was reorganized to-day with Collamarlna, prima donna, as Its financial backer, and the company will make its tour of Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska and the South. Xotes of the Stae. D. II. Hunt and Perry Landis, of Sosman, Landis & Hunt, managers of the stock "companies at the Grand here and the Pike, Cincinnati, witnessed the open ing performance of "Lady Windermere's Fan" last night. John J. Murdock, manager of the Temple Theater. Chicago, came down from that city for the event. Mr. MurdocK is kept busy answering queries con cerning "The Girl with the Auburn Hair, who was a ten weeks sensation in Chicago and who Is to appear in a few of the large cities this winter under Mr. Murdock's guidance. The sale of seats for the engagement of Roland Reed Wednesday night has been large and Indicates good attendance at the one performance of this popular comedian. Reed comes with a new play, written for him by Sidney Rosenfeld. The piece Is a iareical comedy called "Ills Father s Boy. and it gives him an opportunity of appear ing In an eccentric role with many com plicated situations which afford him great opportunities for laugh-making. Miss Isadore Rush will be seen In a part which al lows her abilities full sway, and which permits of brilliant costuming. On Thursday evening "A Carpet Bagger" will be seen at English's, with Tim Murphy in the tltlo role. "The Carpet Bagger" was written by Ople Reed and Frank Pixley, a Chicago newspaper man. Tim Murphy i: wen remembered tor his long success with Hoyt's funny play, "A Texas Steer," in wnicn ho portrayed the character of Mav erick Brander, the Texas congressman. In his latest role the comedian is seen in tho role of Melville Crane, the carpet-bag Governor of Mississippi in 1V37. The beauty of "The Uarpct Bagger" lies in its gentle love stories, the pungent sarcasm of Its dialogue ana the strength of its situations. The com edy is equipped with special scenery, and the company supporting Mr. Murphy in cludes dainty Dorothy Sherrod and A. G. Lipman. The sale of seats opened yester day. THE MACHINISTS BITTER. Wanted Central Labor I nion to De clare Acrainst Typographical Body. Last evening's session of the Central Labor Union was almost entirely taken up with the old quarrel between the Machinists and tho Typographical Union. The machinists presented resolutions denouncing tho Typographical Union for what they termed efforts to break up the organization of tho machinists. The resolutions were referred to the arbitration committee and the report from that committee recommended that tho delegate from the Central Labor Union to the American Federation of Labor be Instructed to urge that some arbitration of the differences be made. Bitter speeches were made on both sides, and the great majority of the members believed It was a national trouble and not a local one, so that any action other than to urge its settlement by the American Federation of Labor would be nonsense. The machinists insisted that the Typographical Union be denounced and that a local matter be made of it. When the machinists saw that tne trend of opinion was in favor of the report of the committee and not to denounce or make it a local matter, they stated that they would recommend to their union withdrawal from the Central Labor Union. This brought out a sharp reprimand from the president who told them that if that was their attitude, it was the attitude of babies who said if others would not play in their wav and In their yard, they would not play at all. He advised them to get out if that was the way they felt. After arguments and speeches for ever an hour, the report of tne committee was adopted with the ma chlnists alone voting against it. The painters asked that some action be taken regarding the work of their trade now being done at the Girls' Reformatory, the Central Insane Hospital and the County Poor Asylum. In all three instances the contractors are said to be emnloyinsr non union labor. The grievance committee was Instructed to make an investigation and see what could be done towards having union iaDor empioyea. The report ot the Sunday concert a few weeks ago for the benefit of a library and reading room and a home for organized labor, showed the receipts were $325.jO, disbursements $145.63, leaving a balance of $182.85. It was announced that among those who will take part in the concert next Sun day afternoon are Carl Oelschlagel, concert melster of the Muslk Vereln, in a violin solo; Mrs. Josephine BremmermanEdmunds will sing a solo and the concert numbers by the band of fifty pieces will be conducted by Henry Klausman. The trus tees were authorized to so amend the constitution that the money from these con. certs shall be used for no other purpose than the one for which it is advertised. The messenger boys will meet Thursday evening for organization as several members of the Central Labor Union have volunteered to meet with them and assist them at all their meetings.

COBALT AND MANGANESE

MINERALS nARE IX THIS COUNTRY, FOL5D SEAR GREEN CASTLE. A City Board of Health Chemist Dis covers It Very Valuable in Tile Making. Two valuable minerals havo been found In Indiana without the help of the state geologist, and plans are under way for the organization of a company to mine them in what is now believed will be paying quan tities. The two minerals, which It was not believed were to be found in the United States In any quantities, ar6 cobalt and manganese, both of which aro now im ported, the first from the Hartz mountain district of Germany, and tho second from northern Austria. Both are principally used in glazing fancy tiles, and two car loads of the Indiana product have been bought and used by the United States En caustic Tile Company of this city with satisfactory results. The cobalt gives that familiar light bluo tint to glazed tiles, while the manganese gives a rich brown color. Both minerals are expensive when imported, and this furnishes ground for the belief that, if the present strike develops as expected, the Indiana product will not only revolutionize the tile-making Industry but will do much to make Indiana the center of this business. The discovery was made by a chemist employed by the City Board of Health, dur ing a trip he made some time ago prospect ing for coal veins along tho Louisville divi sion of tho Monon road, south of Greencastlo Junction. While pursuing his investigations, aided by several miners from Bra zil, he found a rich deposit of porcelain clay and shipped a barrel of it to Indianapolis, where he found that it was so su perior to other kinds usually found, that it could be molded into shape and baked with out any treatment whatever to prevent cracking. As his investigation had nothing whatever to do with the qualities of the clay as to Its baking qualities, he did not follow the usual formula and dry It slowly before putting It into the - furnace, but. when he took it out, he found it uncracked and properly baked. In digging for the coal deposits, a stratum of peculiarly colored earth was uncov ered and great quantities of it were thrown out on the ground, wnere, lor several days, no attention was paid to it. Finally, at tracted by Its beautiful coloring, the chemist brought a sample of It to Indianapolis and. on analyzing it. found that he had cobalt In surprising quantities. The analysis showed about 2o per cent, of the mineral In the sample and he hurried back to the ex cavation and loaded a car witn it, having to haul It overland twenty miles In wagons to put It on the railroad. It was brought to the United states encaustic tne works and s Id. As the chemist had taken no pains to ascertain what the stuff was worth, he ac cepted the first offer of the company, and it netted him a good profit. Shortly afterward, while continuing his work, the man ganese was found, and nothing was said about either deposit at the time. The holes were filled in and suflicient time allowed to elapse to enable people who knew of the work to torget it. as soon as tne company is organized It will buy all the land on which the minerals are found and extract them In large quantities. The porcelain clay is not so promising, as examinations have shown that the veins are irregular In size and widely scattered. THE MAYOR'S APPOINTEES. Does Not Knoir AVho They AVill ReColbert Will Remain. Concerning possible appointments to dif ferent city positions, Mayor Taggart said last night: "To tell you the truth, I have no Idea myself as to who I will appoint for any position. All speculation as to what men I will choose is. idle and useless, inas much as I, who would be supposed to know as much as any other man about who will be chosen, don't know who will fill the dif ferent places. "Is It a fact that Thomas Colbert is to be dismissed from the force or reduced from the ranks and Detective Kinney put In his piace? the mayor was asked, t "Tom Colbert Is a good officer." he re plied, "and if there is any movement on foot to disturb him in his position I do not know of it, and I think it likely that I would be informed if such a thing were Xew Fall Creek. Ilrldge Advertisement At the meeting of the Board of Works yesterday the news plans of the1 city en gineer for the proposed bridges over Fall creek were adopted and arrangements made for readvertislng for bids. The first bids were rejected four weeks ago because t was felt that they were too high. The present plans are practically the same as the old ones, except that they provide for a balustrade on each of the stone or Melan arch bridges, instead of cut stone fences at the outer edges.
