The announcement at the head of this review sets forth two of the greatest mar vcls of the waning nineteenth centuryJoseph Jefferson, a man past seventy, still presenting "Rip Van Winkle." after over thirty years of continuous appearance in It. One Is at a loss to know which to accord the palm actor or play. The reason why Mr. Jefferson is still greeted by overflowing audiences when be appears in the tame old play mu3t bo sought in both man and drama. Tho dean of ths American ttage is a man of wonderful personality. of irresistible magnetism. Ilia audiences hang on every word he utters, as if it were "the voice of a god and not a man that speaks. Yet the most winning person alltles occasionally pall on an audience, so that it cannot be said the people go to see "Rip Van Winkle solely because Jeffer son plays the title role. They flock to see the producUon year in and year out because they like the quaint, ludicrous character Irving drew with such marvellous fidelity. Rip Van Winkle Is scarcely a type of man that would be held up to emula tion. lie is essentially a worthless vagabond, a "jCraga tipster, loafer, necr-do-aclL whose hopeless sottlshness finally forces his own wife to drive him from her house. With all Rip's Ignoble qualities he possesses a strange power to' charm oth crs, if not Gretchca. The village children cluster around him when he takes his case at the tavern and go trooping after him when ho sallies forth on one of his hunt ing expeditions, the fruitlessness of which so exasperates tho long-suffering but not fatlent Oretchen. When Rip reels and eers and says between drunken hiccoughs "lire's to yerselt and family, and may they all live happy and prosper," he never falls to raise a laugh, and he says it a great many times in the same evening. In lact. last night's audience was laughing cretty much all the time. . Mr. Jefferson devoted the greater part of his curtain address, which was delivered at the clos of the performance, to deny ng a rumr that this would probably be lis last appearance. "I have never started any such rumor," said he. "and I can as sure you that so Ions as I am greeted by tuen largo audiences, and so long as you shower upon me such generous applause. 1 shall continue to visit you. 1 really think you are aoout as much to blame for me coming here year arter year as I am." Mr. Jefferson's audience last rUKbt was one of tho most magnificent assemblages that has ever been seen within the walls of English's Opera House. The orchestra was crc-ded fron view, chairs were placed in the aisles and quickly rilled, while the space in the rear of the house was filled with spectator: who stood throughout the Performance. The rapt attention given to the great actor all the time he was on the stage, which was the greater part of the performance, and the almost constant laughter that greeted his lines indicated that neither he nor his play have lost a whit of thfir ancient charm. "Rip Van Winkle" affords scant opportunities for others in the cast to distinguish themselves. Ffollot Taget was accorded a perfronal triumph, despite her manifest unlltr.ess for the character of Gretchen. John Jack was recognized as the great character actor with Mrs. Fiske in "Tess of the D'UrbervUlos" a few seasons ago and received a cordial greeting, notwithstanding the repellance of the part he played Derrick Von Beekman. the man who plotted Rip's downfall in order to win his property and wife. Two clever child actresses are in the company. Virgie Glyndcn. who plays little Helndrich. and Ipra Yenalr, who Impersonates little Meenle. W, W. Jefferson and Joseph Jefferson. Jr., two of Mr. Jefferson's son, are assigned parts In the play, but are prevented from displaying any particular talent. The scenery used in the present production of "Rip Van Winkle" is exceptionally beautiful. Featured of the Zoo. The Zoo had its first party of distinguished guests yesterday morning. Governor Mount and Immediate friends were given a special exhibition, performance and lecture. The chief executive enjoyed the programme and pronounced it remarkable. He frankly admitted to Director General Rostock that the Zoo was far different from what he thought, and he has no hesitancy in recommending It to the people of Indianapolis and the State. "Roger." the Zoo elephant, broke loose yesterday and for a while made things look lively on West Market street. Being a trained elephant there was no danger to be feared, yet people clambered indoors. A monkey, hopping on the elephant's back, and scratching It severely caused the "breakaway." Two more of the Jaguar-leopard cubs are dead. One only remains, and one of the dead is to be mounted. . Mr. Rostock has purchased a South American sloth to meet the demands of bis patrons. It will arrive to-day or tomorrow. A bovalapro has also been captured in the far East. The custom house department of the government ha granted permission to land it at New York city. One of the strangest animals its existence arrived at the Zoo Ust night. Director General Bonock has named It "Hoot Hon, What is it7" It c&u't run or walk,

resembles a human person about the face, and will be exhibited for the first time to-morrow.

Another Enjoyable Heading. Mr. George Riddle's reading of "King Henry V" at Plymouth Church last night was'attended by a large audience of representative people of Indianapolis. Richard Mansfield's recent successful revival of "King Henry V" lent an added Interest to Mr. Riddle's reading and tho majority of his audience brought a copy of the play with them following the lines with an interest that betokened a new Interpretation of the old play. As on the occasions of his two former readings those who listened were delighted with Mr. Riddle's versatility in his easy adoption of many different characters. In nearly every scene of every act he was called upon to modulate his voice to different characters, sustaining at times a conversation between live persons, using a different modulation for each. His wonderful interpretation of Shaksneare's characters was particularly noticeable In the colloquy of Pistol, Mrs. Quickly, Nym, Bardolph and the boy at Mrs. (Julckly s house in Eastcheap, London; In the scene before Harfleur. France, where King Henry addresses his soldiers before the attack; the scene of the English camp at Agincourt in which King Henry. Bedford and Gloster discuss the prospective battle, ana tne scene in the French King's palace in wnicn Henry sues for the love of the Princess Katherlne through the medium or an In terpreter. - Fanchon Thompson as Carmen. NEW YORK. Oct. 30. Miss Fanchon Thompson made her debut with the Metro politan English Grand Opera Company as Carmen In their production of Bizet's mas terpiece at the Metropolitan Opera House. Before the performance Miss Thompson was really 111. but despite the protests of her friends and her physicians she Insisted upon going ahead with Carmen rather than disappoint tho large audience which had been attracted by tne announcement that she would make her first appearance In this country. She received many hand some floral tributes and liberal applause. Notes of the Stnj;e. The singing In the two burlesques of tho Broadway Burlesquers now playing at the Empire Theater is strong and 'coupled with the mirth-making of Bod Dalley and others the show Is entertaining. xxx Manager Zimmerman has arranged to re ceive election returns at the Empire Theater next Tuesday night. There will be two performances at this theater on elec tion night by the Rice & Barton burlesque company. The last performance will be given at midnight. xxx "The Bowery After Dark." with Terry McGovern. the pugllstic champion In two classes, in a prominent role, is proving an attraction of more than ordinary strength at the Park Theater the first half or the current week. Two performances to-day will end the engagement. McGovern goes from here to Louisville, where he is to meet Joe Bernstein Friday night. XXX "Peaceful Valley," Sol Smith Russell's great success, which Is being revived by the Grand Stock Comrany this week, is giving excellent opportunities, not only to mem bers of the company, but also to two people brought here from Cincinnati for the pres ent engagement only. The advance sale for to-day s matinee Indicates that the com pany will play to few empty seats. "War on Women." the new border melo drama In which Hope Booth will appear at the Park for the first time to-morrow afternoon and the rest of the week, is said to be a very fascinating play, reading very like a novel. The love of Red Bird, a beautllul young Indian squaw, for Capt. Ster ling, a United States soldier stationed on the frontier, is one of the interesting in cidents, xxx One of the greatest events of the theatri cal season In Indianapolis Is always the annual . appearance at English's Opera House of Nat Goodwin and Maxine Elliott. Inasmuch as it is settled that Indian apolis theatergoers will have to do with out these stars next season there is an ex traordinary demand for seats for their single appearance to-morrow night. "When We Were Twenty-one," the stirring drama from the pen of Henry V. Esmond, which made such a profound impression last sea son, will be repeated. x : x William Collier is distributing among his friends In thl.s city a new style of matches. Formerly the Collier matches were' con tained in a small aluminum-lined box. labeled "Willie Collier." Now they are bet ter matches, put up in folder style and in scribed "William Collier." Mr. Collier wil doubtless duplicate his Louisville and Washington successes when he presents his new comedy by Augustus Thomas en titled "On the Quiet" at English's Opera House Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon of the current week. The advance sale which opened yesterday morning, gives hint of large audiences for this wonderfully popular young comedian. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. L. M. Closser will leave next week lor rew yorK.

Indianapolis or Buffalo to lie Dropped in Fnvor of Philadelphia. CHICAGO. Oct. 80. "The American League will take In Baltimore, Washington and Philadelphia," said President Ban Johnson, after the meeting of the circuit committee, composed of Messrs. Somers, Manning, Comlskey and himself, to-day. "We will carry out the plans already announced. The three clubs to be dropped have not been decided upon. The league must vote on that proposition." Comlskey, Somers and Johnson are of one mind, while Manning is of three or four minds. "What I want to know," said the Kansas City man, after the meeting, "Is where they are going to send me. I want to stay in Kansas City." "We got together and thrashed out the subject thoroughly," said President Johnson. "No definite action was taken. We probably will go East again, right after election, and arrange a few minor details. Everything else has been settled." The league intends to drop Kansas City and Minneapolis, and there will be no debate on that question when the league meets. The other city to be dropped has not yet been decided. It probably will be either Buffalo or Indianapolis. TRAXSPOIVTIXG THE AR3IV. Change in Regulations Owing to Present Conditions. New York Mall and Express. The United States army is doing a great deal of long-distance traveling these days. The range of posts stretches from Governor's Island, on the Atlantic, across tho continent to the Pacific, over the ocean to Captain Leary's Island of Guam, the Philippines, Sandwich islands and to temporary quarters in China. It has been found expedient to make certain changes in the army transportation regulations. Last week the adjutant general of the army at Washington covered the subject in "General Orders, 122," as follows: The baggage to be transported at public expense, including chests and personal baggage, upon change of station will net exceed the following weights: In Changing the field, station. Rank. Pounds. Pounds. Major general l.ouo 3,500 Brigadier general 700 2.800 Field officer 500 2.400 Captain 200 2.000 First lieutenant : 150 1,700 Second lieutenant and veterinarians, first class 150 1.500 Acting assistant surgeon 150 1,200 Post and regimental noncommissioned staff officer, hospital steward, chief musician, sergeant of the Signal Corps squadron and ' battalion sergeant majors and veterinarians, second class, each COO The officers and others In the above list, when embarking under orders for extended service over the sea and for duty In Alaska, and upon change of station In Alaska and In places beyond the limits of the United States, as well as upon return to the United States, the allowance of baggage to be transported by the quartermaster's department from Initial point to port of embarkation, and from point of destination to garrison station, will be three times the allowance prescribed above for change of station. These allowances are in excess of the weights transported free of charge under the regular fares by public carriers. They may be reduced pro rata by the commanding officer, if necessary, and may. in special cases, be increased by the War Department on transports by water. Shipments of officers allowance of baggage will in all cases be made at carrier's risk. Including those over roads where tariffs provide for extra charge therefor. Gold Leaf Snlclde. Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The gold leaf method of sulc de, in vogue among Chinese dignitaries. Is one of the oddities for which the heathen Chinee is peculiar. The supposition is that disemboweling or drowning or taking poison is too plebeian a method for a wearer of peacock feathers and yellow Jackets to adopt it when it becomes necessary to go hence. The chewing of gold leaf indicates that the man who leaves by the gold leaf route can afford something more expensive than a razor or a dose of carbolic acid. Nevertheless. It is a decidedly yellow method for the yellow man to take in order to leave the Yellow Kingdom. N doubt the gold thus used is a total lossr too. for Chinese customs will not allow relatives to assay the remains of the gold-leaf self-murderer. Mr. A. L. Well, the leader in ladies' tailoring, at Nos. 23S. 200 and 2 Michigan avenue. Chicago, will exhibit at the Denlson Hotel Wednesday. Thursday and Friday of this week models of gowns and wraps of latest fashion; also samples of fabrics especially adapted for ladles' wear. The ladles are cordially invited to call and inspect Bamc.

DEMANDS ARE GRANTED

STRIKERS HAVE VOX OVER AOTIIER BIG ANTHRACITE COXCERX. Lehigh A Wllkeabarre Company Has A er reed to Abolish the Sliding . Scale and Pay Extra Wages. IIAZLETON. Ta., Oct. CO. The Oneida and Derringer collieries of Coxe Brothers & Co. began operations to-day, and the Cranberry mine, operated by Pardee & Co., which was idle yesterday on account of the men refusing to return to work until the suspended "Lokie" engineers are reinstated, also resumed, but not with a full force. The Lehlgii and Wilkesbarre Company's mines are still idle, but otherwise everything is moving along smoothly In this district. The men employed at the collieries of the Lehigh and Wilkesbarre Coal Company met this afternoon and adopted a resolution requesting the company to abolish the sliding scale and guarantee to pay the 10 per cent, increase until April 1. The company agreed to the proposition and posted notices to-night. Work will be resumed as soon as the mines can be put in shape. A. Pardee & Co. hired seventy-five men'At the Cranberry colliery today to take the places of strikers who have not reported for work. The Lokie engineers, whose places were filled by others, have not been reinstated. Many of the union men are still on strike at this mine because of the refusal of the firm to reinstate the union engineer?. C. Pardee & Co. have refused to reinstate the men at Lattlmer who went on strike and got their settlement. The firm announces that If these men want to work they must reapply and take any positions offered, as their former places have been filled. President Mitchell Is expected here tomorrow. Eight Collieries Rename. SCRANTON. Pa., Oct. SO. Tho eight Ontario & Western collieries resumed work this morning. The strike at the Forest Mining Company's two places at Archibald, which has been on for seven months, will likely be raised to-morrow. Superin tendent Jones had a conference with a committee of the men to-day and practically agreed upon terms of adjustment. He will give a definite answer after consulting 1 A ft- A. ft I I . . " wnn me airectors or the company. The other two idle ocllleries, the Green Ridge and Clarke, are also negotiating adjustments. District President Nichols, of the United Mine Workers, announced to-day that the men of this district will make a demand on the operators for semi-monthly pay and permission to maintain a check welghman, or docking boss, at each colliery to insure the miners against unfair treatment at the hands of the company's welghman or docking boss. President ' Mitchell, District President Fahey, of Sha'mokin, Organizer Dilcher, Secretary Dempsey and other local ofllcers atended miners' demonstrations in Archibald and Carbondale this afternoon and evening. CALLS IT A LIE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) have made the most discontented and credulous. "These forces- and conditions have for years, with greater or less dls tlnctlveness, hovered about our na tional life, lacking effective organization and concentration, neglected by those who neprecated their existence, and unheeded even by those who partially appreciated tneir dangerous tendency. "In the meantime there has lain in wait behind them all an Impatient power ready to marshal them in effective activity when depression, misfortune, neglect and pas slon had done their work. "This power, born of sordid greed, and maintained ty semsh interest and parti san ambition, has at last assumed com mand. and hag largely1 recruited its wait Ing forces by Inflaming those inclined to be avenged, by encouraging the restless and turbulent with hints of greater license. and by offering to the poor as a smooth road to wealth, and to those in debt as a plan for easy payment, and to those who from any cause of unfortunate and dis couraged as a remedy for all their ills. the free, unlimited and independent coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1, with a depreciated currency and cheap money. "It was a rude awakening for the negli gent and overconfident, and a day of ter ror for sober and patriotic men. when the bold promoters of this reckless crusade captured the organization of a powerful political party, and, seizing its banners. shouted defiance to the astonished con science and conservatism of the country. "Hosts of honest men, in blind loyalty. gathered behind the party "flag they had been accustomed to follow, faiung to dis cover that their party legends had been effaced. PERIL OF THE NATION. "None can forget the doubt and fear of that boisterous and passionate campaign. when the fate of the Nation seemed In the balance. The danger of the situation arose from the hasty impulse of those whose misfortunes had been cruelly played upon, and from the enthusiasm of unquestioning, thoughtless party fealty. "The deliverance came through the action of those who saw the trick and loved the principles of their party too well to follow its stolen banners in an attack upon those national safeguards, which party as well as patriotism should at all times defend. "In the meantime the allied forces of calamity, encouraged by these malign con ditions, are still active and aggressive They confidently speak of the encounter In which they failed of success as only 'the first battle,' and gladly hail every untoward incident and every added pretext for passion and resentment as new and welcome allies in the continuance of their crusade. "They are willfully wicked and stupid who believe that disaster waits unon.the ascendancy of those forces, and yet turn away from the plain evidence of their dan gerous strength. Let us be honest with each other and with ourselves. "If there are any among us who, though not actually and actively interested in the cause of free silver and its accompanjing vagaries, can look with complacency upon their growth and triumph, or if there are any who, not fearing individual loss, are heedless of the honor and glory of their countr or if there are those whose child like and simple failh In their country's re sources, blinds them to all public danger. inaction and neglect on their part may be accounted ror it not excused. "But nothing can explain or excuse inac tion on the part of those who can make no compromise with the advocates of unsound money, or who love their country's honor more than self-advantage, or who are con vinced that an unstable and unsafe cur rency Inevitably bodes the greatest deoth of loss and misfortune to all the people of CANNOT DODGE DUTY. "These should not delude themselves. The peril they dread is directly impending. "I began by saying that this was an as semblage for patriotic purposes. I hope my sympathy, with its high aims and dis interested efforts, will not be suspected, when I confess that I have brought here a sturdy partisanship and a devoted at tachment to the principles of true Democ racy. "I should, however, not be here to make this declaration if by partisanship I meant adherence to a party organization merely for the purpose of compassing Government control and distribution of the spoils of party victory among greedy claimants. "The partisanship I mention means the support of certain principles and theories of government, and a co-operation and association in political effort and activitv with others who believed In the Kam theories and principles, for the purpose of accomplishing tneir practical application and enforcement. "Out of such an association grow party discipline and organization. They are nec essary and useful as the servants of poll tical principle, but should never be Its un questioned masters. "The Umlta of their proper, operation are easily fixed, and it is an inpeachment of the intelligence of the members of any political association to say that party management and discipline should at all times command Implicit obedience, ven when euch obedience leads to the aban

donment or radical perversion of party principle.

I have ventured to speak of the polit ical creed and organization of my at tachment, as true Democracy. This definition tells the story of a party of noble origin and traditions, Identified with the counsels of the Nation from its earliest days, and whose glorious achievements are written on every page of our country s history. "Always the neoole's friend, seeking to lighten their burdens and protect their rights, true Democracy has constantly taught conservatism. American fraternity and obedience to law. "The people to whom it acknowledges a duty are no more confined to any station in life than to any section of the country. "in enjoins the utmost personal lmeny consistent with peace and order. It defends the humble toiler against oppressive exactions in his home and Invites him to the fullest enjoyment of the fruits of industry, economv and thrift, and in his in terest, and in the interest of all, where all are equal, true Democracy denies that in tne American scheme of equality neiore the law there is a limit beyond which the legitimate results and accumulations of effort and enterprise should be denounced as intrinsically criminal, and their pos sessors be treated as proper objects oi government discrimination and condemna tion. "The peonle whom true Democracy would serve are all the people of the land. Those whom it wculd restrain are on the one hand the vicious and turbulent, who defy the laws, and on tho other hand those who. with conscienceless greed and in abuse of their opportunity, wrongfully oppress their teiiows and eat out their substance. "Above all things, true Democracy In sists that the money of the poople should be sound and stable, neither shriv eling In purchasing power In the hands of tne poor, nor by its uncertain value driving enterprise and productive energy into hiding. BEST HOPE OF SAFETY. "I do not fear that I shall be accused of sinister designs, unfitted to the atmos phere of the occasion, if I insist that the path of duty and the best hope of safety He In an Immediate and earnest attempt to accomplish the rehabilitation and regen eration of the Democratic party and Its return to the principles of true Democracy. "Let us devise means to break through the influence of the mischievous leadership that surrounds them, and without arrogantly assuming that no wrongs or hard ships afflict them, and that no reforms in. their condition are needed, let us meet cur countrymen faco to face In argument and counsel. "We shall . find in every locality able, heroic men, willing to struggle against the tido of misconception. Let us hold up their hands by organized effort and timely assistance. "Let true Democrats meet the passion and bitterness of their former associates who have assumed the leadership of antiDemocratic wanderings with firm expostulation, reminding them that Democratic convictions and Democratic conscience cannot be forced to follow false lights, however held aloft; and let us at the same time entreat them, in the name of honorable political comradeship, and in the memory of glorious victories won by a united Democracy, to turn from the way that leads to party defeat and destruction. "The task is not an easy one, but surely it is not hopeless. The better we appreciate its magnitude the less will be the danger of ineffective and misguided effort "The work has already been inaugurated by the creation of an organization founded upon a declaration of Democratic principles so sound, so clear and so patriotic that they should rally to their support every true Democrat and supply an inspiration lorbidding defeat. "With such a beginning and with the Incentive to zealous effort, which the transcendent importance of our causo af fords, we should confidently look for the approaching dawn when true Democracy, 'redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled,' will bring us peace and national safety "But If relief under the true flag of restored Democracy Is late In coming we will not despair, but will remember that a just cause la never lost, and on our camping ground we will work and wait, with approving conscience and constant faith, declaring, like the sturdy old un recanting German reformer: 'Here we stand we cannot do otherwise, God help us " VICTIMS OF A COLLISION.

Even an artist must get his name before the Deonle or starve. Frank Millet had ex hibited many good pictures, but the critics ignored him. Then he perpetrated an atrocious thing in the gaudiest colors. Nobody could fall to see it, and it made people shudder. The critics were furious, and screamed their detestation of the work "But they had to mention my name," said Millet, "and that was what I wanted." After that people were curious about the artist's pictures, and his fortune was as sured. New "Get-Rich" Scheme. St. Paul Pioneer Press. The Democratic Governor of Missouri has Invented a new way of getting rich something which beats all hollow the paper money inflation schemes of his Popocratlc associates. He says that the Missouri State certificates of indebtedness, which his party has placed in the Missouri State treasury in place or a school fund of be tween H.000.000 and $5,000,000 In United States bonds, which they squandered "while a sacred liability of the State, are also assets of the State."
