Ward and Vokes, with a capable company, will be seen at English's to-morrow evening In "The Floor Walkers." The company is said to rank well as a singing organization. "The Sign of the Cross," a play that has been seen here before and which has always played to crowded houses, cones to English's Wednesday matinee for six performances, Including a. Saturday matinee. Charles S. Howard, In . the Boston. Globe, ays: "James A. Heme's new play, 'Sag Harbor." acted .for the first time at the Pafk Theater last evening, is worthy of the tuthor of 'Shore Acres, and i?racs the American stage with another Idyl of rural New England home life." Manager D. H. Hunt, of the Pike and the Grand stock companies, is tack from a trip to New York, and will arrive here thl3 afternoon to see the opening production of "The Charity Ball" to-night. While in New York he secured some strong plays for the Grand stock company, among them "Madam Sans Gene" and "The Masqueraders." The Tuxedo Club will be the Empire' attraction, heglnnlng this afternoon. The company Is 5aid to he a strong one. MarCaret Rosa anil Vera Hart, with their Dutch pickaninnies, John F. Harty, the eccentric juggler, and Walt Terry, the dancer, are a few among the company, which includes fifteen specialty performers and a doxen pretty girl? In the chorus. Mr. John D. Carry, writing In a recent number of Collier's Weekly, said of the "Children of the Ghetto:" "If a play like 'Children of the Ghetto can succeed, then there ta hope for a great revival In dramatic writing. If it fail:, we ought to hang our heads in shame. Some objection may be maae to Its dicuslon of matters relating to race and religion, but this Is h once shattered by the discretion and tctdo displayed by the author. Neither Jew nor Christian could take oflfensn at a scene or n line." There has turn a whirlwind of criticism of this play In the New York papers. The Park this afternoon will open a week of the best vaudeville of the season, for Hyde's Comedian and Helene Mora are to furnish the programme. This popular company was never in better shape than the present season. Manager Hyde has brought It to a high standard, and the various acts on the bill this week will be found to be in every respect worthy the most rflned patronage. Helene Mora will sing several new songs, among them "The Cabman's Last Drive." her latest success. She will also sing several of the old favorites If the audiences desire them. In pat-i. seasons Hyde's Comedians have been looked to as thi record breakers at th Park. Preparations are complete for an elaborate production to-night at the Grand of "The Charity Ball." Additional Interest will be lent to the production by the fact that Miss Chanez Olney will be In the cast. She has but a small part, It Is true, in this week's production, yet It will suffice to satisfy the curlouslty of the Grand's patrons as to the appearance of this much-advertised young woman. The fact that "The Charity Ball" was what might be termed the prize production of last season will also serve to attract even larger crowds than usual to the Grand this week. The prominence of the various favorite members of the company in the cast of this piece Is a matter of satisfaction to everybody. There is so much for all the members to do that the play never lacks interest for even a single moment. The usual matinees will be given Wednesday and Saturday. . PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. J. TV.

IN MEMORY OF MORTON

IMPRESSIVE SEKVICCS AT THE SECOND PnCMJYTEHIAX CIIIHCII. Addresses Are Delivered ty Hon. Smiley . Chambers and Hon. William Dudley Foul Lew Letter of .Morton's. The services In memory of Governor Oliver P. Morton held at the Second Presbyterian Church at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon were well attended. There was a largo turnout of veterans from the different G. A. R. posts of the city. The pulpit of the church was appropriately decorated with potted palms, chrysanthemums and the American flag. A large portrait of Governor Morton, tastefully decorated, looked down from the pulpit. Those who sat on the rostrum were Governor Mount, Senator Fairbanks, Col. I. N. Walker, Senator Beverldge. Admiral Brown, Smiley N. Chambers. Rev. Samuel Sawyer and William Dudley Foulke. The opening prayer was by Rev. Joseph A. Mllburn, and the closing prayer was offered by Mr. Sawyer. The choir sang the prayer from Lohengrin, after which there were a few introductory remarks by Col. I. N. Walker. The "Hymn of Liberty" was then given by the choir, B. F. Miller ringing the solo part. Hon. Jjiulley X. Chambers' Address. This selection was followed by an oration by Smiley N. Chambers. He said in substance: "It is an interesting and instructive sceno before u?. We aro assembled in a house devoted to religious worship to recall to memory the life and services of a man who, in his lifetime, was a member of no church and acknowledged no creed. It is not the first meeting of its kind. For a number of years, upon this Sunday of the year, In one or the other cf our churches, the people, but especially the veterans of this war, assemble to pay tribute to the memory of Oliver P. Morton. I have yet to hear a criticism of this custom. It is universally recognized as appropriate and beautiful. It Is hoped It will continue through many years to come. "Morton was not a military man. and did not gain renown as a leader of legions and the conqueror in battles. Yet the soldiers of 1S61 from Indiana, we might truthfully fay, from every State of the Union, loved him and continue to cherish his memory. "Where shaH we look for the secret of this influence and what lesson appropriate to the hour may we find in the life cf this remarkable man? "Life has been compared to the flow of a river from it3 small beginning, constantly broadening and deepening to the final ending. So it 19; but there are other features of similarity the eddies and windings of the, stream, sometimes almost i turning back upon Itself, illustrate the eccentricities and Inconsistencies from which no man is free. Yet every man's life, as every stream, has and consistently maintains a certain direction. It flows to a certain destiny. "Mr. Beecher in a sermon once spoko of the center of gravity of human character. Every man has a dominant element a center of gravity around which all acts revolve, some near, others more remote all, however, more or less controlled thereby. Love makes a beautiful Mfe: ambition, a dazing, audacious career: fidelity to truth and duty a strong and useful man. Fidelity was. In my opinion, the controlling feature of Morton's career. AS A LAWYER, "A hasty review of the life of Morton discloses in his early career eminent success In Ms chosen profession. He easily stepped to the head of the bar In fcia county, his district and his State. He was employed in cases of large Importance while most ybun men of his age were struggling for a start. Industry, application and forceful energy brought him succes. He had chosen the law as his mistress. To her service ewry faculty was devote-1. He accepted the labor necessary to master the profession and the responsibility imposed by its diligent pursuit. Morton became Governor when still young-and brimful of enthusiasm. No doubt but that, she whj walked so faithfully by his sid?, and who is with us to-day, could give us from the treasury of her memory many Incidents and stories illustrative of the eag?rnesd and self-reliance with which he entered upon the discharge of the arduous duties of that office. "It has been often said that Mr. Lincoln was called of Providence to the control of rational affairs in 1S61 to 1SC5. His election was providential in the sense that he was endowed with qualities of mind and heart that fitted him especially for the work of those, perilous times.- In that sense, at least, we believe it to be true. It is equally eminently true that Morton in every way was pre-eminently fitted for the work of Governor of Indiana during the war. and while his work as a member of the United States Senate extended through many years nd was of a high order and of lasting benefit to his country, his fame has a more enduring foundation in the great deeds of Ms administration of the affairs of this State as Governor. "Morton himself believed this. Once in a running debate in the Senate Senator Merrlman twitted him with having- once been a Democrat, and ventured the suggestion that that was the proudest part of his life. To this Morton quickly replied: 'No, that was not the produest part of my life. The produest part of my life was that which was occupied in assisting to put down the rebellion, preserve the Union and to conquer my friend and others who were In arms with him against our country.' He came to this office at a time of the wildest confusion and disoraer. A great war was Imminent. Public opinion was divided as to the bes-t policy to be pursued. The name of the State was under a shadow that had rested upon It for years. Its trea&ury was bankrupt, its credit impaired. The situation that confronted the near Governor wou!d have appalled a less courageous man. "The spirit with which he took up the work before him is illustrative of the character of the man. shows his dominant spirit and purpose. The center of gravity of the main character was fidelity to duty. He took up the great work before him with energy prodigious. He shirked no responsibility and would not permit others holding subordinate positions to do so. He faced every emergency with sublime courage. He never feared an enemy, noi betrayed a friend. As a result of his great work Indiana performed every obligation of the war faithfully, promptly and energetically. She retrieved her name from ail shadow, and lifted it into a glorious light. Indiana faithfully appreciates the work of Governor Morton and we to-day acknowledge our great indebtedness to him. I had no personal acquaintance with Governor Morton until long after the war. I cannot speak of his personal attributes; I would not in the presence of those who knew him so well and loved him so tenderly. Dr. Quayle yesterday gave one reason why he loved Browning, that touches the heart of every man and woman. He loved his wife. Morton loved his wlf and family. His wife was his constant companion and helper. to that, we are told by Mr. Foulke. he read his speeches; with her he constantly advised. The center of gravity, naenty to auty, was here eminently illustrated. "As I have said, I had no personal acquaintance with Morton at this period and therefore do not speak f'om this point of view. I was a private soldier in the army, having enlisted nt the call of Governor Morton. I can tel' you. I need not tell my comrades here to-day our experiences, and even those of other States, with 'The Soldiers' Friend. for so he was called. That wireless heart telegraphy that carries messages from soul to soul, flashed to the boys during the march, on the battlefield and In the hospital and prison, that the man who had sent us into the field had not forgotten us. MORTON AT HIS POST. "The private soldier always felt the more conflilenee because he knew that Morton was at his post In Indiana multiplying his efforts In the days of reverses, cheering us on In success. "The private soldier is the mo?t helpless man on earth. He Is utterly dependent on those in authority above him. He goes and comes at the commands of others. He receives food and clothing by the hands of others. He lies down at night and rises in the morning to the tap of drum and sound of bugle. He goes into battle when commanded and faces death whether he wlil or not. His comfort, health and life depend upon the fidelity and capacity of those put lr authority over him. The soldiers well know all these thing?, yet there was little dilllculty In procuring volunteer? for service In Indiana. Men surrendered independence of action, subjugated themselves to the control of others, left homes and tlreiles of comfort .md luxury with perfect confidence that so far as necessary limitations would permit they would be cared for. Morton did not forget that Indiana soldiers were In tho army as volunteers to his patriotic call. He did nH abandon them to fate." solicitude for their welfare was unceasing. They , were not out of mind one moment. If the government fulled to provide them with arras, ammunition, clothing, food and

hospital supplies his watchfulness soon supplied the want. A delinquent officer waa an abomination to him and felt the force of his power. The entire State of Indiana was aroused ty his patriotic appeals to the highest pitch of patriotic fervor. Men, women and children vied with each other in good deeds to support the army. "After the deadly battle of Shlloh Governor Morton hastened to the scene to care for the disabled and to bury the dead. Sixty extra surgeons and three hundred nurses were forwarded, and many an unfortunate soldier was the recipient of their services who had not enlisted from Indiana. He remained with the army for days after, and with General Sherman, visited the lines. He wanted to send to Indiana for wagons, mules and horses, with which to keep the army supplied. His energy extended to every department, encouraging the soldiers and carrying terror to the enemy. "The same characteristics followed him In his service in the Senate. He soon became a leader. His voice was heard In every debate where questions of importance were Involved. He sought to solve every question upon propositions of sound policy and correct principles. He went straight to the case. This frequently brought him in conflict with his party friends but while they might differ from him, they never ceased to respect his views, and to listen with attention to his arguments. The lesson we learn from the life of the war Governor is that if we would be great, if we would serve our country and our fellow-citizens, is to be faithful to truth and the obligations of duty." At the conclusion of Mr. Chambers's address the choir sang "The Star-spangled Banner." The solo was by Mrs. Alice Flemmlng Evans. William Dudley Foulke delivered an address, and at its conclusion the choir and congregation sang a memorial hymn written by C. E. Merrifield, and this was followed by "America." Mr. Foulke' Oration. Mr. Foulke said in part: I hard, my friends, to overestimate the importance of memorial services like these. The honors that are paid and the gratitude that Js shown to the memory of the preservers of the Union offer the strongest assurance that the Union which they preserved shall be transmitted in all its integrity to succeeding generations. The man whom we have come here to honor was one of the great bulwarks of the Nation In the civil war. He was the colossal figure of the heroic period of Indiana's history. The present issues are only pygmies by the side of the gigantic questions Involved in that struggle. In the late war we sent to the front a few thousand Indiana soldiers. In the civil war Indiana furnished to the Nation 2X).O0O men. Morton was the guardian spirit who called them into action. His voice was the last to bid them goodbye as they marched away to battle and the first t,o give a welcome to those who returned. While they were at the front he watched over their welfare with tender solicitude. He gathered supplies for their comfort from the patriotic women of Indiana. He organized the Sanitary Commission. He sent agents to look after the welfare of the troops, wherever they might be. His physicians and nurses were first upon the battlefield. He was essentially the guardian spirit of the soldiers of Indiana throughout the struggle. Hence it was that I greatly regretted that the supposed claims of artistic beauty required the removaJfof his statue from the front of the soldiers' monument, and that it is now only one of tho four figures surrounding that monument. In his relation to the soldiers of Indiana Morton was not merely one man out of four, as the monument now seems to Indicate. He was alone. He was the pre-eminent protector of the Indiana troops, and his figure was the only one clad in the simple garb of the citizen which could fitly stand in front of the monument to Indiana's silent victors. It seemed to me that it would have been better to have subordinated mere artistic beauty to the great throught which th monunvent was intended to repreSent STUDY OF CHARACTER. How interesting is the study of character as we see it In our children. In our friends and acquaintance. Soft and pliable in some, sturdy and resolute In others. When sorrow enters our doorway, how different are the glances which we cast upon the dark-browed stranger. The face of one is marked with the lines of pride and defiance, the features of another are softened by tho tenderness of resignation. But if this study is interesting when applied to the ordinary beings by whom, we are surrounded, how much more interesting is the study of the character of one of the great men of history as we see it unfolded in his acts and speeches, repotted by the daily press, by the official records and by the conversation of those who knew him. In preparing the biography of the great war Governor new interest was added with each new development of his life, and the work beame not a task, but a pleasure,- to the biographer. There are two kinds of great men. One class becomes great by opportunity, the other is great by native power of intellect and will. General Grant was. in a measure, an Illustration of the first class. Before the war he was unknown; during the early part of the struggle little was heard of him, but whenever responsibilities were cast upon him he was always equal to their requirements. He needed nothing but opportunity to reach the highest pinnacle of renown. Napoleon was an illustration of the second class a man whose seething and aggressive spirit would make a career for himself at any time , and under any circumstances. Morton, too, was a man of this description. He was born to command. In whatever he did he was a leader. In college he was the best debater in his class. At the bar he soon became the leader. As Governor he was the first of the great executives developed by the civil war. In the Senate he was the leader of his party. But. great as he was in natural characteristics, it required a great crisis like the civil war to give to his genius the widest sphere of action. Our two great struggles-the war for Independence and the war for the Union were the periods most fertile in great men. Ths revolution gave us Washington, Jefferson. Hamilton. Adams. Franklin. The civil war gave us Lincoln. Grant, Chase, Stanton, Seward. Sumner, Morton. SIMPLICITY OF THOUGHT. "Prince Metternlch said of Napoleon that the quality he "most remarked was ia grande slmpllclte de la marche de son esprit,' the great simplicity of his thought. This was also Morton's great quality. The object to be pursued he followed by the dlrectest road and crushed all obstacles by sheer force. Tho path of his thought was straight and twift like the cannon ball shattering that it may reach and shattering what it reaches. He was always greatest amid the-storm. Whatever the emergency he was always greater than its requirements. Obstacles and dangers inspired him. The lineaments of the character of such a man are necessarily rugged and picturesque, full of power rather than delicacy; stern and commanding. "Morton was born amid pioneer surroundings in the little town of Salisbury, a village which rose and disappeared during the first half of the present century. His life had the same sort of beginning as that of many of the most distinguished Americans. Lincoln was a rall-splltter, Garfield worked upon the towpath. Our most illustrious men have been reared in hardship and adversity. A quenchless thirst for Information, a passionate fondness for reading everything within Ms reach characterized the youth of Morton. He determined to get an education. Two years at Miami University was all that was possible, yet perhaps this answered his purpose as well as a broader culture. It certainly qualified him sufficiently for his arduous duties. "He had been born and bred In tho Democratic party. He had oprosed all agitation of the slavery question. He believed in the compromises of the fathers, in the Missouri compromise; In the supposed settlement of the slavery question by Henry Clay. The growth of his liberal opinions was tho work of many years. Murat Halstead said of him that he did not attain his Intellectual fhaturlty until after he entered the Senate of the United States. But the greatest characters are not always those which are most quickly developed. The mushroom grows in a night, but the sequoia does not reach its gigantic proportions for hundreds of years. But when his own party proposed to repeal the Missouri ocmpromlse and to consign to slavery the Territories which had been reserved for free labor. afbr the Kansas-Nebraska bill had passed, Morton abandoned the Democracy and became a leader in tho new party of liberty. He was the first nominee for Governor. He hfld a Joint canvaw with Governor Wlllard and was defeated at the election. Four years la'ter he took the nomination for lieutenant governor, with the understanding that if Lane wa9 elected Governor he should be chosen by the legislature for the Senate and Morton would take his place as chief executive." MORTON'S PATRIOTISM. Mr. Foulke went on to discuss the career of Morton after he became Governor and referred to one instan.ee when the war Governor delivered an address at a flagraising at a period when the country was beginning to become feverish as a result of war talk. In the course of his remarks on this occasion Governor Morton said: "In view of the solemn crisis In which we stand, all minor personal and party considerations should be banished from every heart. There should be but one part-, and that the party of the Constitution and the Union. No man need pause to consider his duty. It is no time for hesitation; the man who hesi

tates under circumstances like these is lost. For myself, I will know no man who will stop and prescribe the Conditions upon which he will maintain the flag, who will argue that a single star may be erased, cr who will consent that it may he torn, that he may make choice between its dishonored fragments. I will know that man only who vows fidelity to the Union and the Constitution, under all circumstances and at all hazards. When the struggle comes. If come It must, when the appeal o arms Is made (which may God in his infinite mercy avert), we must then rely not on a standing army, but on the citizens of the land on those men whose hearts beat high with pulsations of love for the Union and who will strike for it with their strong arms." Mr. Fculke then described the outbreak of the war. the flame and fury of patriotic indignation throughout the North when Sumper fell, the call of Lincoln for 75 AX men. Morton's immediate tender of 10,"t5 troops from Indiana and the acceptance by the government of only 4,600 men. Morton retained the rest In camp and immediately called the Legislature together to provide for them, for he knew they would coon be needed. The speaker referred to the enlistment and equipment of IW.O'JO soldiers from Indiana alone through the tireless energy of the war Governor, who Insisted at all times upon the vigorous prosecution of the struggle and criticised sharply the dilatory action of the commanders to whom the conduct of the war was first intrusted. McClellan came under his condemnation. NORTHERN DISAFFECTION'. The speaker next described the disaffection throughout the North which followed the reverses of our arms. He referred to the speech of Hendricks in the Democratic convention in ISC declaring that if the restoration of the Union should become impossible through the folly and wickedness of the party in power the mighty Northwest must look out for hersslf and her own interest. Mr. Foulke spoko of the conduct of the peace Legislature of 1S63, its rejection of the message sent . . by the Governor, and its adoption of tho sentiments of the message of Governor Seymour, of New York. He spoke of the introduction of the military bill by Bayless Hanna, a bill which took the entire military power of the State out of the hands of tho Governor and placed it In the hands of four Democratic state officers, three of whom were afterwards found to be members of the treasonable order of the Sons of Liberty. Upon this the Republicans retired from the Legislature and the session came to an end. "Morton had now no money to carry on the state government," said Mr. Foulke. "He borrowed it on his own responsibility from counties, railroad companies and individuals and placed it in charge of Mr. Terrell, as his financial secretary. Then a new difficulty was discovered. It was found that It was unlawful to pay the Interest on the state debt, although that interest had previously been paid without an appropriation for many years. Morton went to Washington to seek help from the federal government. Lincoln told him that he knew of no law under which he could give him any money and referred him to Stanton. The great war secretary declared: 'By heaven, I will find a law.' And he did. An act had been passed placing several hundred thousand dollars in the hands of the President for use In States threatened with rebellion. Stanton offered this money to Moton. who took it, saying: 'If the war fails we shall both bo covered with prosecutions.' Stanton answered: 'If the war falls I do not wish to live. Morton did not, however, use thl3 money for the payment of interest on the state debt. He borrowed of Winslow, Lanier & Co., a firm of bankers in New York, sufficient funds for the purfiose. That firm advanced $25,00o to pay the nterest and they are entitled to the gratitude of every citizen of Indlara for their patriotic act." TREASONABLE SOCIETIES. Mr. Foulke described the Knights of the Golden Circle and the Sons of Liberty, their conspiracies for the overthrow of the state government and for the assassination of Morton. He next referred to the debate with McDonald, to the re-election of Morton as Governor of Indiana, to the loyal Legislature of 1SC3, which assumed the payment, of the liabilities the war Governor had contracted, to the final overthrow of the Confederacy, the death of Lincoln, the return of tho soldiers, to the stroke of paralysis whicn camo upon Morton like a thief in the night, to the election of the war Governor to the Senate of the United States, his great reconstruction speech, his efforts for the passage and ratification of the fifteenth amendment, his canvass for tho nomination for the presidency at the Cincinnati convention and his final illness and death. Mr. Foulko concluded with an estimate of the value of Morton's services. While men might disagree with him on minor matters, on his financial policy, on his distribution of the patronage or on his conduct of the affairs of some of the Southern States which he virtually represented in the Senate, there could be no doubt that in the main purposes of his life his work had been of inestimable value to the Republic. Mr. Fqulke discussed the fifteenth amendment, which, despite Its temporary inconvenience, he insisted was far better than tho permanent subjection of the negro race would be if such an amendment had never been adopted. He reviewed the successful results of the reconstruction measures of Congress and drew a picture of the consequences which would have befallen the country If the arms of the Confederacy had been victorious in the civil war, a series of calamities which the efforts of the war Governor of Indiana did so much to avert. LETTER -WRITTEN BY 310RTOX, In Which He Referred to Ills Feelinir for General Harrison. In the course of his remarks relating to the life and deeds of Indiana's war Governor, Mr. Foulke read an extract from Rhodes's United States History In relation to Governor Morton as follows: "Owing to the location of his State and the bitterness of the Democratic opposition, no Governor had so many obstacles to surmount and no one threw himself into the contest with more vigor and pertinacity. Wishing to see displayed in military affairs the same force which he put into the administration of his State, he made no secret of his contempt for the generalship of Buell whom he even charged in his communications with Washington, with being a 'rebel sympathizer.' Morton was personally incorrupt, but selected his coadjutors from the vulgar and the shifty, making his test of fitness for civil and military office personal devotion and unscrupulous obedience to himself rather than honesty and high character. He and Buell became enemies, and he held It a duty to his country as well as an offering to his self-interest to crush the man whom he could not use." In reference to the above Mr. Foulke produced a copy of a letter which Morton wrote in 1877, while in the Senate at Washington, to an Indiana friend. Mr. Foulke said he would read the letter as an answer to the charges made in Rhodes's history. He read the following: "My room Is filled with callers night and morning, and it has been literally impossible to find time to write. But the agony is over now, the Cabinet is made, the pressure passing off and I take the first hour to answer your kind letter. The allegation that I will. appoint no man or recommend no one who is not pledged to me in advance is utterly untrue. There is not a man In Indiana to whem I have first mentioned or hinted the future for myself and it is a matter I never talk about unless It is Introduced by others. And more than that I have never given an office or procured one for any man upon a pledge first given by him to support me. No such case can be found. But if it is said of me that I prefer nv friends to my enemies. I shall have to plead guilty. Qualifications 'and fitness being equal 1 should naturally prefer friends to enemies. To prefer enemies in such case would argue dishonesty and that I was using power to propitiate enemies, and overlooking or abandoning friends. The statement that I have stood in the way of Harrison's appointment is utterly untrue. If Hayes had desired his appointment I should have accepted it cordially. But to go to Hayes and urge it, I could not have done honorably. I should have been open to the charge of having sinister motives. People would have said that I was supporting one who was not friendly over friends who were equally qualified and worthy. No word or act of mine can be referred to indicating that I was not his friend for the reason that I was and am always ready to serve him. No friend of mine, or newspaper in my interest ever said a word against him that I know of, and I am absolutely Innocent of ever having done one act in regard to General Harrison which was not of a friendly nature. "When the Proldent came here I urged the retention of Tyner.

Christ Idea to Be Exalted, but the Presence of the Savior to De Suggested Only Not a Passion Piny. St. Louis Republic. When the staging of "Ben-Hur" was first discussed between General Wallace and the producing managers of the play, Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger, they roughly outlined three general or controlling ideas that should govern the character of the drama. First There must be no actual representation on the stage of the Savior, rto actor representing Him. But there must be scenes that are intimately and lovingly connected with Him, as that of Jerusalem on the day. when He entered it and palms were strewn in His path, and, though the Savior is not see.i the Influence of His presence is felt. It was suggested that a great crowd might fill the stage and shout their hosannas amid the waving of palm branches, and that toward the back of the stage the crowd might separate as though some one were passing across from left to right, though unseen by the spectators In the auditorium of the theater. The Imagination of those present could fill in the figure that was apparently hidden from view by the crowd. The actual presence of the Savior, His being a speaking or acting part. Gen, Wallace was averse to, as were Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger. So this was taken as the governing idea In such scenes as in a Passion piay would actually present the personality of Christ the suggestion of His presence wlthout'llis figurative representation. Second There must be two widely contrasting atmospheus in the drama the material, Impressive, splendid magnificence of the dominating Roman world of the day and the spiritual, religious atmospnere in which Christianity was born and had its first existence. Therefore the great fetes represented must be on the grandest scale, with ail the pomp and circumstance mat made them magnificent pagan spectacles. Ana broaaiy contrasted witn this must be those scenes that dealt with the followers of the Nazarene, exemplifying the exalted, spiritual state that enabled them to pass tarougn those trying days of tne upbulming of tne ennsuan churchtiming unaer tne great tree In General Wauaces home garacn at Crawfordsviue, lnd., tne tree unaer wnicn the novel "BenHur" was written, tne ieneri, Messrs. Klaw and Lrianger and Mr. Wlniara loung. who had been selected to dramatize the booK, went over the story togetner. Passages here and there were selected as those that snouid bo woven into tne pay and otners that should oniy be suggested. Finally the book was put into Mr. loung's hands to make ready the acting edition. Two other points nad been unuer long consideration and were subjects of mucn consultation before a final decision was reached tne question of musie for the drama and the method of properly reproducing the famous chariot race in which Bcn-iiur won victory. It was determined to make the music a marked feature of the performance, and to have it alternately fo.low contrasting styits to empnasize. the so to speak anti-cnris-tlan portion of the piay. audmg a spirit of elation to the fete scenes, such as the chariot race and the processions and devotion in tne grove of Daphne, and, per contra, to intensify the rengious portion of tne drama. And, whatever scene the curtain might fall on, the entr acte music was to be of a character that would carry on the theme and keep the audience in touch with the story during the intermissions. These general ideas were laid down and tho composition of the music Intrusted to Mr. Edgar Stillman Kelly, whose work is well known in the musical world. For some months Mr. Kelly has been engaged on the score, and those who have heard it speak of It as being grandly effective in those numbers that accompany the triumphal passages of the play and of singular beauty in the teliglous themes. PLANNING THE CHARIOT RACE. The preparation of the chariot race was an undertaking that for a long time baffled lie managers and the mechanicians they employed. It occurred to the former that the old device used by Neil Burgess in "The County Fair," in which a horse gallops on a portion of the stage arranged like a treadmill, might be utilized. A panorama at the back of the stage moves along, and as the horse gallops on the treadmill and the wheels of the carriage revolve, the illusion of a "turn out" hurrying along a country road Is not bad. But how to employ this in a tremendous scene, in which a great ampitheater is represented and a furious chariot contest is under way, was the question. Abigail Prue or Widow Bedott and a one-horse shay are one thing; Ben-Hur and Messala, racing with eight horses in the Circus Maximus at Antioch are quite another proposition. Mechanicians said that no stage in the country could stand the weight of eight horses pounding away in a mad gallop, let alone the added weight of the chariots and men, and that the whole blessed business would go through and down into the cellar of the Broadway Theater. Scene painters and carpenters said that as the scene represented a circus, and the men were supposed to be racing In an oval, something liko an enlarged Madison-square Garden, the scenic panorama would have to move In a semicircle, and "It couldn't be done worth a cent." Mechanician and scene painter laid their heads together and swore that it would never be a "go;" that even if the mechanical difficulties were got over the thing wouldn't look like anything; that the panorama would hitch and balk and make the people laugh, and tho horses on the treadmill wouldn't look like a race. As for the smash-up of Messala's chariot, as told in the book, that would come sooner than was looked for, would result In a hurry call for an ambulance from Bellevue Hospital and the hauling of wounded men from under the wrecked Broadway Theater stage. These were tho cheerful difficulties that Klaw & Erlanger met with in preparing that one scene alone; "and there were others." But how well they got through them was observed by a Republic reporter, who was present at the rehearsal ct tho chariot race at the Broadway Theater. The stage has been proppei underneath by eoormous cross beams and great uprights until It is impossible for the eight horses that pound away for dear life to break through. The great treadmill, large enough for eight horses and two chariots, is neatly fitted into the floor and seems to be part of the stage, so that you don't noftlce that it is any different from the rest of the roadway of the circus. By a most ingenious contrivance cf rubber and felt covering, and I don't know what below the stage In the machinery, the affair Is practically noLscless. or at least such noise as it makes Is drowned In the mad gallop of horses and the whirring of the chariot wheels. The panoramic view of the crowds In the circus seats moves circularly around the stage, and when the horses are tearing along, as though in a contest for life or dath, the Illusion of a race in a vast amphitheater is all but perfect, and thrilllngly effective. REALISM OF THE CONTEST. Every natural detail of such a race Is reproduced. For weeks the hordes have leen rehearsed dally, and they s-em to know their part in the scene perfectly. They no sooner get the word than they plunge ahead, and off they go at what seems to be a killing pace. As the chariot alternately draw ahead, now one and then the other. i the horses plunge and rear and gallop as j though very demon possessed them. Powerful electric fans in the wings raise a wind

that blowg the loose trappings cf the horses into the air, as would be the case m a mad i zee. and does liKctvise to the cloaks and skirts or the drivers, as they lean out over the front of the chariots, A poweriul air fan contrivance unaer the noises' hoots and under the cnarlot wheels raises what eeem to to great clouds of dust, that are caught up arct whined away benind tho rushii.g charioters by the breeze of great electric lans. It is the most realistic thing that has been seen on the stage, if it works at the performance as it does at rehearsal it wul produce a sensation. And the "mash-up" when Ben-Hur drives over against Messaia, p cnarlot, takes off Messaia's wheel and brings about the catastrophe Is so realistic tnat even the wheel that is knocked orf the chariot goes spinning oit the stage. How is that done? I don't want to tell you too much, for it will destroy the ll.uslon. But tnat is accomplished this way: When the chariots collide a secret connection lets loose Messala's wheel, and as it is revolving rapidly it travels on and spins off the ttage, guided by an unseen wire to which it :s attached. The whoe scene is "great." Just as tne catastrophe occurs every light In the house goes out for a second, a scene "drop" is suddenly let. down between. BenHur's chariot, which is nearest the footUgnts, and Messala's wrecked affair, the panorama stops, a crowd of l.VJ runs on the stage in the darkness, up go the lights and you see Ben-Hur and his panting, foaming steeds, victors, at the finish, and the crowds yelling their hurrahs over the triumph of the Arabian horses and their heroic driver. Imagine the scene, if you can, set to the full depth, width and height of tho Broadway Theater stage, for the panorama is set against the back wall and sweeps around on either side almost against the side walls of the theater, and the "flies" are all lifted far up out of sight. And what, with the effect of perspective in the painting of the Canorama, you look, not at what seems to e even an enlarged theater stage, but a vast amphitheater. The illusion of great space breadth, depth, height adds Immensely to tho effect of this realistic, thrilling scene. Ordinarily to follow this scene with any- . thing f urtner would seem to invite an anticlimax. But the representation of the event which the Christian church commemorates in Palm Sundays, the crowds on and about the roads leading to Jerusalem on the day when He Is expected is another great and effective spectacle. The stage again is utilized to its full extent, the scenery laid against the back and side walls, and the illusion of the scene painter's art is brought into play till you seem to look ofT to a great distance. And here the crowds that fill the stage and are reverently massed on the hillsides waiting to welcome the Nazarene seem to be unending. It Is almost a "trick scene" in the perspective effects produced. 1 It is most imposing In the realism of the crowds, the diversity of the processions, the multiplicity of design in the costumes of the gathering and in the color schemes employed in the varied Oriental dresse?. And yet, while a spectacle, it does not strike you as theatric, but what pervades it all through is its fervidly religious tone, presenting the spiritual contrast to tho almost barbaric splendor of tho pagan fete in the circus Maximus. A SPLENDID PAGAN SPECTACLE. A preceding and again a contrasting scene to this one that is shown much earlier In the drama and one of rare beauty, too when a festival occurs at the Temple of Apollo in the groves of Daphne. The famous Temple of the god, one of the most superb examples of pagan architecture that is known, is exactly reproduced. All that is beautiful, graceful and picturesque was used in those festivals to symbolize the dedication of a youth and maiden U the life of pleasure led by those who inhabited the groves of Japhne. The processions of priests and youths as standard bearers, boya carrying offerings, a child as Eros, God of Love; the choir masters with their musicians and choruses cf singing and dancing girls, children etrewing flowers, the Devedlsa with their wild, amorous dances all these form a series of most beautiful processions, and a scene that is most lovely. But and. here Is where the moral effect of the play is shown the beauty of tho Daphne scene is altogether material, human, wnsual, and when you see afterward that other religious spectacle outside of Jerusalem you cannot help contrasting the two; each supremely beautiful in its way, but the one at Jerusalem touching ones heart as deeply as the other merely catches the eye symbolical of tho triumph in man of the spiritual over the merely material. In the way of purely theatric spectacle an example of scenic possibilities one of the most striking incidents of the drama is the shipwreck scene. At first we pee the interior of a great Roman war galley, which is reproduced In all Its detail as It has come down to ve In history. The center of the "between decks" is unoccupied except for the mast that passe down through it to the keel, and near the stairway which leads to the upper deck, on a bench built around the mast, sits the monitor of the galley slaves the Satan, one might call him. who watches the poor devils who are chained to the soats. where they tug at the oars in this, to them, floating helL Along either side of the galley, at interval of seven or eight feet, are small portholes, and through thee come the handle ends of the great sweeping oars that propel the galleys. Onrqugh, uncouth board seats by these portholes are galley slaves, each at an oar and chained to the floor by their ankles, lest they rise in rebellion to slay their taskmasters, or driven mad in the hot. suffocating hellhole, they attempt to destroy their fellows or themselves. The monitor beats time to make the wretches swing together in their rowing, and woe betide the careless oarsman or the weakling of the lot, who may droop in his work. When you have seen a gorgeous picture ol an Egyptian galley, bearing Cleopatra in all her magnificence to meet Antony, has it ever occurred to you what wretchedness and misery lay concealed beneath the deck on which the painter had sketched love and pleasure, emphasized by royal pomp and magnificence? Well, this scene bears to you that chamber of torture. The Roman galley, in which the condemned Ben-Hur is a slave, is attacked by Aegean pirates, and after the fight it is sunk. Down it goes, dragging with it. cf course, the poor galley slaves, who, being chained, are drowned like rats in a trap. Ben-Hur, having won the good will of the tribune, had not been chained, and he escapes the death that overtakes his fellowoarsmen. On the sinking of the galley the scene suddenly changes to the wreck-strewn sea, with Ben-IIur and the Roman Tribune Arrius, whom he saves from the waters, crouching on a raft rf floating timbers. This, as Just said, is another of the great scenic effects of the play a raft scene that is much greater in extent and realism than any before attempted. Of course the sea Is the sea, and one raft scene is much like another, but there is more sea in this one and more tumbling waves thuo one has had presented to view in any "raft" play, from "The World." at Wallack's. down to date. I have told you in this rambling way of the great stage pictures in "Ben-Hur.-' Now, to give you a further IJa of what portions of the novel are ued, to place them In their regular order in the drama, let me tell you the run of the scenes. MEETING OF THE WISE MEN. The prelude of the play begins with the meeting of tho Three Wise Men In the desert. This prologue Is most peculiar and Is acted without a word being spoken. The curtain is down, the overture or introductory muflc has been played and the lights in tho house are all lowered. The curtain does not go up, but It Is transparent, and when tho lights on the hitherto darkened stage aro raised we can look through the gauze. Two of the Wise Men are seen mounted on camels waiting for the third one. He comes, the three dismount, make themselves known to eacli other without Fpeaklng and exchange affectionate salutations. The star of Bethlehem appears, its light increases ar.d an angelic choir is heard. The three men, recognizing the sign in the heavens, prepare to rtmount and begin their iouraey to the cradle of the long-ekpectwd iessiah, while i ngellc choirs proclaim the words of Isaiah. The next scene shows the housetop of the
