A thoroughly hapry and contented lot of people left EngltsVs Opera House last night after the fal of the curtain on the performance. Thej had been introduced to The, Burgomaster," the new musical comedy by Frank Pixley and Gustave Luders, and one hal only to listen to them humming and whistling the catchy and tuneful air of "The Tale of the Kangaroo" to discover thai they were delighted to form the acquantance of this new candidate for public favor. "The Burgomaster" made a tremenlous hit last night, and this was the more wonderful because the piece originated in Chicago and came to Indianapolis heraldd only as a Chicago success. For a short ime after the rise of the curtain the moe blaso ones in the audience refused to relieve the evidence of their teases that here was actually an enjoyable production that emanated from a "Western city, but he Infectiousness of the thing soon cauglt up and carried away every one In the hoise from pit to gallery. The pvmoters of "The Burgomaster" modest! characterize their production as a musical comedy. The truth would not be etralne If it were termed a comic opera. Its bcffc is surely melodious enough for any cmlc opera that has been written in recent years, and there are sufficient lyrics and Dpical songs to supply several operas. The greatest song hit was "The Tale of the Kangaroo," by Mr. Weinberg, Miss Yerington, Miss Hawley and the chorus uf ;ollege girls, chappies and soubrettes. Kqtally as big a tnumph,iowever. was cored by the brilliant caJtc walk in the Frtach ball scene of the second act. Here perlaps better than anywhere else in the production was displayed the consummate bkll and art of the man who staged the piec. Dainty, pretty, petite Luella Drew in 4 fetching cake walk with Gus Weinberg, (the burgomaster; as her partner fouid her opportunity of the entire perfornance and mvde the most of it, establlsling herself instantly as a prime favotte with the audience. There were clanors for a repetition of this scene, but Ihf performance had already been greatly lenjthened by encores, and this was wisely reused. Some of the songs that were receded with especial favor were "We're -CHlized Now," rendered by the splendid mae chorus attired as Indians; "I Drink frm my Heart to You," by Mr. Lyman anl the chorus of sailors and cadets; "We AUays Work the Public, Not the Job." by Ml Lyman and the chorus dressed as 'etret repairers, with tuneful hammer and spke accompaniment; "The Soubrette," by Joephine Newman and chorus of frttbrettes; "Dear Old College Days," by Mssrs. Andrew J. Lyman, Beit Cole, John binmons and Charles Ault, which had to t repeated several times, "The Modern GAdlator," by George Brmlerick, the "Iarlein Spider," and chorus of tough girls wiose make-ups were wonderful to behold; "It-rely a Matter of Form," by the chorus o seminary girls with umbrellas and ralnydy skirts, a clever conception; '"The Libety Girl" tinalc of the first act, by the , semble chorus; "The Bathing Girls." by Ir. Charles Allison as E. Booth Talklngtn. accompanied by a chorus of plcresquely clad bather??; "I Love You," by Ilss Ida Hawley; "The Summer Girls." V the Misses Yerrlngton and ITawley; diaries IJates's inimitable parodies on Because." "Sunny Tennessee" nnd "The Vorking Girl;" "In Gay Paree." by chorus f five soubrettes. and the great cake walk lortjr 'Reaching for the Cake," followed y the splendid finale, "Painting Chicago Red." The company Interpreting "The Burgomaster" is one of the largest ever leen her In a similar production. Besides a, long list of clver principals, including Gus C. Weinberg. Charles Bates, George Broderlck. Crtarlo3 Allison, Andrew J. Lyman. Edith Yerrinjiton, Laura Joyce Bell. Ida Hawley, Josephine Newman and little Luella Drew, two large and talented choru.f-male and female nro carried. The changes of costume, which occur at verj brief intervals throughout the performance, nro fo numerous and varied that an expert mathematician would be required to keep track of them. Not the least pleasing feature by any mean Is th excellent manipulation of the light effects. The eenery Is sumptuous and ranks with th best shown In productions bearing the hall mark of metropolitan approval. It would be difficult o Imagire a more gorgeous set than that shmvfr.g the French ball In Madi-ton-squnre Garden or the court of honor in the world's fair. The scene in the town Muaro of N'?w Amsterdam, that on the eahnr and the street views in New York and Chicago, wU'o !03i pretentiou3 than th cn mentioned, were quite In harmony with them. The libretto of "The BurgoT.aMer" is deserving of the highest commendation. Flnoe It offers so much that ! new and entoyabe In the way of bright diaUgue. a point in which too many such compositions r.re eadly lacking.

The Building "Will Be Three Stories High A Building Committee Appointed At the regular monthly meeting of the Indiana Medical College faculty last night It was determined to at once proceed with the erection of a new medical college build ing to be known as Lomax Hall, In com memoration of the late Dr. William Lomax, of Marion, who, ten years ago, donated his estate to the college. The building will cost $20,000. and will be completed in time for the opening of the fall term In IDOL The building will be three stories in height, and will occupy the lot on West Market street adjacent to the present building. The first floor will be occupied by the Bobbs Free Dispensary, which has outgrown what were thought to be ample quarters five years ago, when the present building was constructed. The second floor will be used for the microscopical, tho hlstaloglcal and the bacteriological laboratories, and the third floor entirely for the departments of organic and physiological chemistry. A building committee was appointed, as follows: Drs. J. 11. Oliver and Frank Morrison, representing the faculty at large; Dr. P. II. Baker, head of the department of chemistry; Dr. Frank B. Wynn, representing the pathological requirements of such a. building, and Dr. W. N. Wishard, to arrange the floors for the clinical rooms of the Bobbs dispensary. Such changes as are necessary in the present building will also be made the coming vacation. The money for the new building is already secured from the Lomax bequest in part. and in part by the accumulation of the present year, amounting to over 510,000. The Indiana Medical College is peculiar as an educational institution in that no professor draws a salary for his work. For ten years eery penny the college has made has gone into betterments. The college now has 250 students, and tho laboratories are overcrowded. The new building will provide ample room for the 300 students with which it is certain to open the coming century. The faculty also ordered that certain departments of the old college building be named in commemoration of the great teachers and physicians, Drs. Harvey and Marsee, and also that Mrs. Lomax. widow of Dr. Lomax, be invited to suggest some commemorative design in memory of her husband, to be placed in the new building. "A committee consisting of Drs. Baker, Morrison and Potter was appointed to divide the college work as it affects both the course of study and the executive details among some ten or twleve diJTerent committees, according to plans suggested by Professor Baker and in consonance with the customs of modern colleges with four-year courses of study. The building committee was authorized to meet to-day, organize, receive suggestions from the departments, and to visit the new college laboratories at Chicago and elsewhere, so as to select the best approved plans of structure, at the expense of the college.

GREAT FINISH TO-NIGHT WOMEN IUDEHS WILL END TWELVEHOUR. RIDE TO-NIGHT. Anderson Finished First Again Last Mght-Clavr's Admirers Not DiscouragedMatinee To-Day The largest and most enthusiastic crowd of the week witnessed-the hour and a half riding of the twelve-hour international championship race in Tomllnson Hall last night, and again saw Tilllo Anderson push her wheel over the tape ahead of Llsette and Glaw in a furious sprint for the finish. The hour and a half did not lag, for the three leaders seemed anxious to gain a lap if possible, and many interesting sprints were seen during t'e time. Glaw again finished third, but her admirers have not lost hope, claiming she will be able to push her wheel across the tape first this afternoon, when the tenth hour of the race will be ridden, and to-night at the finish of the twelve hours. Miss Glaw experienced trouble with her wheel during the evening, the saddle becoming loose. She was allowed eight laps to change to her reserve wheel. In making the change she was off the track but three laps, and after the' saddle was readjusted she 'Changed again within the eight laps. The saddle worked loose again, but she did not take chances on changing to her reserve wheel. "When she left the track sho showed fatigue from having ridden on a wheel on which the saddle was out of order. The pace during the hour and a half was very rapid, and Anderson showed she was out for another finish from the start When she was in the lead she set a terrific pace, as did also Llsett. The latter showed that she had evidently stayed in second place up to the end of the riding last night with the Intention , of making a harder light for first place this afternoon and tonight. Each one of the threa leaders endeavored to gain laps last night, but the attempt failed, for they wer all on the alert for just such moves by their rivals. La Tour set the pace just before she was taken off the track about seven minutes before the finish. Anderson was second, with Llsette hanging closely to Anderson's rear wheel and Glaw bringing up the rear. When La Tour dropped out to allow the leaders to light for the finish Anderson increased the speed and managed to stay in front, although tho other two riders swung around the track three abreast, but were unable to take the lead from Anderson. The hour's riding this afternoon will do a great deal In determining the prospective winner, although the real finish does not occur until, to-night, rIt is very likely that the hour's riding this afternoon will be one continuous sprint, and each of tho three leaders will have to be able to follow the fastest pace that no doubt will be set during the race. The admission this afternoon will bo 25 cents to all parts of the hall. The Inst two hours of the race for the twelve-hour' championship will be ridden to-night, starting at 8:30. It would be a hard matter to pick a winner from the three Anderson, Glaw and Llsette for each is in perfect condition and riding at her best, able to display her endurance and sprinting ability for the tape nt the conclusion of the twelve hours' riding. The score for the nine hours ending last night was: Anderson. Llsette and Glaw 188 miles. 11 laps and La Tour about three miles behind. The "Boy Wlmrd" Mlsnlngr. A dispatch from New York says that Adolph Sayre, formerly a page in Congress, who became a flyer In Wall street, having inherited a fortune of 520,000, is said to be missing. He lived In a mansion on Fifth avenue and kep,t a retinue of servants. To the brokers of Wall street he was known as the "boy wizard." He paid his way through Harvard out of money he saved while a page in Congress, and after his Inheritance went to New York to live.

Six Killed nnd Five Injured by an Explosion of Dynamite. KEYSER. W. Va., Dec. 2S. One of the most disastrous accidents in the history of railroad building in this section happened at Baker camp, near Durbin, Pocahontas county, on the line of the Coal and Iron Railroad, now building out from Elklns.

Some dynamite had been placed about the stove to thaw out and shortly after a terrific explosion wrecked the camp, killed three men outright and injured eight others, three of whom have since died. The dead men were blown Into atoms. Physicians hurried from Greenbank and worked all night with the wounded, Fome of whom begged the doctors to shoot them Instead of helping tUem to live to be blinded or maimed for lite.

FAVORED BY MR. GAGE

ESTABLISHMENT OF A NATIONAL STANDARDIZING BUREAU. Benefits That Wnll Resolt Pointed Ont by the Secretory Rittman Appointed Fourth Auditor. WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S.-Senators Nelson and Turner, sitting as a subcommittee of the Senate committee on commerce, to-day heard arguments in support of the measure now pending in the Senate providing for the establishment of a national standardizing bureau. Among those heard were Secretary Gage. Prof. O. II. Tittman, superintendent of the coast and geodetic survey, and also of the present Bureau of Weights and Measures; Prof. W. F. Stratton, inspector of weights and measures under the present organization, and also professor of physics in the Chicago University, and Prof. H. A. Rowland, professor of physics of Johns Hopkins University. They explained the object of the bill and urged the growing Importance of a complete standard izing bureau under government direction. Secretary Gage reported that such an institution is becoming more and more important as the years go by. His opinion of the importance of the proposed bureau, as well as that of the other witnesses, Is summarized in a memorandum printed for the use of the committee from which the following is an abstract. "Until recent years this work has been confined to problems concerned with the standards of length, mass, capacity and temperature; but the increased exercise of accuracy demanded in scientific and commercial measurements, and the exceedingly rapid progress of pure and applied science have Increased the scope of such work until it includes many important branches of physical and chemical research, requiring for its successful performance a complete laboratory, fitted for undertaking the most refined measurements known to modern science. The introduction of accurate scientific methods into manufacturing and commercial processes involves the use of a great variety of standards of far greater accuracy than formerly required. An accurate knowledge of the high temperature of a furnace or a refinery, or the low temperature of a refrigerating process is often essential to the economical working of the process. Enormous commercial transactions are daily based upon the reading of electrical measuring apparatus. Inaccuracies of which involve great injustice and financial losses; hence the national bureau should be in a position to calculate or test electrical standards of all kinds for commercial as well as the most refined scientific work." Professor Tittman made an argument for the establishment of the bureau on constitutional grounds, calling attention to the fact that the Constitution empowers Congress to fix the standard of weights and measures. He contended that fixed standards lie at the foundation of good government, and called attention to the measures adopted by Germany and Great Britain In the direction proposed by the pending bill for this country. The bill contemplates the erection of a building in Washington for the use of the bureau and for the selection of a complete staff to take charge of the work. TO SUCCEED MORRIS. Fred Rittman, of Ohio, Appointed Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. The President has tendered -to Fred Rittman, of Cleveland, O., the position of fourth auditor of the treasury, made vacant by the tragic death of Auditor Morris. Mr. Rittman has for some fifteen or twenty years been engaged in the banking business in Cleveland, and previously was an auditor - of railroad accounts. Ho is about fifty year3 of age, stands high in business and social circles. He is a lifelong friends of Senator Hanna, through whose influence he has secured his appointment, and is also known by President McKinley. There is thought to be no doubt that he will accept and It Is expected he will assume his duties on the first of January. The condition of Samuel MacDonald, vho shot and killed Auditor Morris, is considered worse to-day. The change is due to a renewal of his efforts to thwart the measures necessary to his recovery.

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL. LCSSOV. Revlewt Dec. 30, lf)i)0 Studies In the Life of Jesus. A thousand miles up the Nile at Abu Flmbel, sit those four colossal statues carved out of a mountain side with infinite toll. Thousands of tens of living rock have thus been wrought Into human form by workmen dead and forgotten for millenniums. "With a fixed and fatal look, wblen is appalling, those faces, most perfect ever produced by Egyrtian art, peer across the sanis ol old hushed Egypt." A Greek ':er to the Btrong Egyptian colossi once stood upon the roof of the Tarthenon. It was rhliias's masterpiece, the statue of Pallas Athene. It towered forty feet, as wrought out of ivory and gold, and had blazing jewels for eyes. The face is described as beautiful and serene, worthy of the serious goddess cf wisdom. Thus it would l-e possible to so from one nation to another of antiquity and describe a statue typical of its art and thought. But when this should be done samples only would be given of that incalculable multitude of Lr.ages with which genius and Indomitable patience fairly peopled the old world o" the far East. There they are ir; fresco, mosaic, bas relief, effigies colossal and minute, grand and grotesque. But it is ignorance only that laughs at the sphinxes, winged bulls, pinioned lious, hawk-headed men, and many-breasted women that fill the ruins of palace and temple. This was the striving of the heathen mind to express Its Ideal of the Deity. The ratlent scholarship of to-day has put the key cf ancient mythology In our hands, and e can recognize everywhere the symbols of the attributes, powers and deeds of the Deity. In spite of all the boldness of it striving, however, its earnestness and the inflnltencss of Its patience, we are compelled, even in presence of its masterpieces, t pronounce that word "failure," for no image graven by art or roan's device can show forth God. The material can never satisfactorily interpret to us th& spiritual: but this Insatiable desire of the human soul to have or make some manifestation of the Deity a desire whih expressed itself In infinite and painful, but unsuccessful, striving at length had Ita satisfaction; not In a chiseled colossus, not In an Image of ivory and gold, not in cold and breathless marble but in a throbbing, loving human heart. St. John may well be called the apostle of the Incarnation. A In the writings of St. raul, the doctrine of Justification by faith ! pre-eminent, and in the Epistle of James the Just the genuineness of faith certified by good works is conspicuous, so the chief teaching of John is that the Lord was made flesh. John lays it down as the Infallible test of a teacher's soundness that he shall confess that Jesus Christ hath come in the flesh. It is test of the believer &s well. "Whosoever believeth that Jeus la the Christ Is born of God." The incarnation is presumably true. The loving Father will satisfy the aspiration of Ills children for a manl-fc-Ftation of hlm?elf. That manifestation will oc cur at the earliest possible date in the history of the race, when humanity is able to avail Itself of it to the beet advantage. Xo form bett-r suited to accomplish the end desired can be imagined than that which was taken. The man Christ Jesus exemplified the moral qualities which are essential to the highest type of manhood. Assuming that Jesus was an honest and competent witness, we have in His own declarations the evidence of the reality of the incarnation, "ile that hath seen me hath seen the Father." "Jesus anvered, and said unto him. If a man love me he wUl keep my words; anl my Father will love him, and we will come unto Him, and make our abode with Him." "My Father worketh, and I work." "That all should honor the Son, even as they honor the Father." 0 "Before Abrham was I am." "I am that bread o life which came down from heaven." It Is often asked, "Why are four gospels given us?" Tradition tells of a king wno. desiring a perfect likeness of himself transmitted to posterity, employed four artlüts. Two iminted the opposite profiles, a third the front view, the fourth, a sculptor, carved a statue. This mty represent the work of the evangelists. They picture Chrtet from their various standpoints. Kach presents a finished picture. Hut the four together bring out all the features of Jesus. "The four gospels are, as it wero, the sacred stereoscope which gives to us a record of our Savior, not in Its bare Eurfaoe, but in its living solidity.' to Lynn; mail for Bloomingport to Winchester.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28.-A local morning paper that painfully poses as the Democratic national organ to-day printed a story to the effect that Senator Jones, of Arkansas, and a majority of the other members of the executive committee of the Democratic national committee were maturing plans effectually and jermanently to retire Colonel Bryan from the leadership of the Democratic party and to prevent his renomlnation four years hence. Senator Jones this evening makes a positive and circumstantial denial of the story, He reiterates his belief in Bryan and declares that the men who know him well and have been associated with him in politics also believe in him. Senator Jones said nothing about Air. Kern as a presidential possibility. 1 National Capital Notes.

United States Charge Beaupre at Bogota informs the State Department that Carlos Martinez Silva, Colombian minister for foreign affairs, has been appointed minister to the United States and will sail for his post In the course of two weeks. Mr. Thomas Herran has been appointed secretary of the legation at Washington. A request has been received at the State Department from Governor Plngree, of Michigan, for the extradition of Charles J. Thompson, who Is charged with forgery committed in Detroit. Thompson is now in Cuba. The State Department, taking the ground that the island is at present solely under control of the United States military, did not undertake to go into the merits of the application, but transmitted the papers at once to the War Department. The United States minister at Madrid has called the attention of the postmaster general to the continued existence and activity of Spanish swindlers, who attempt to gain money by inventions of estates going begging in Spain for want of claimants. He bays that many American citizens are becoming victims, a number even having" taken a voyage to Spain in the hope of getting property to which they have not the tlightrst title. The minister says he has tent a large number of forgeries elrawn up cr. government stamped paper to the Spanish government and has urged the Ministry to ferret out the swindlers, but nothing, ha cays, has yet been done.

Schclllnger, an electrician of Chicago, to-day, in the presence of a number of persons Interested in the progress of science, shocked a cat apparently to death, and when the heart of the animal had long ceased to beat Mr. Schellinger reversed the current of electricity and the shock restored the heart beats, although they were very feetie at first. Within two hours after the cat had been pronounced dead It had been restored to the fullness of life nd vigor and was as playful as ever. The current was kept turned on until there reemed no possibility of doubt of the fatahty. Sever! physicians examined the cat and all agreed lr pronouncing it dead. In Ave minutes more an alternating current of low jKiwer was started, and In the course of a few seconds the heart action commenced.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR. The Old nnd Nevcj Your Purposes Mntt. -11, rl-' Luke v, aVl!. A dear little girl wrote out a set of New Year's resolutions and signed them. Asked about them a few days later, she naively replied: "I don't think they're much broken, but I gues most cf em are cracked." Broken or cracked anl broken all to bits in the case of most of us thea New Year's resolutions have a hard time of i before the young year has gone far on his way. But nevertheless we mean to make them! Wa intend to take counsel of hope rather than fear. We shall believe in ourselves because we believe in the God whose we are. Forgetting th things that are behind, with all their failures, and reaching forward to all good resolutions ahead of us, let us press toward the mark of a better year! ' "It all wants forgiving.' once said a Christian worker on looking back over a year's living. True of the old year of us all; but among its, other gifts the rew year holds full eupplles forgiveness. New Year's day carries In one hand a sponge to erase the old wrong writing, and la the other a pencil for fresh, brave sentences. New mercies, new blessings, new light on ths way; New ccurase. new nope, and new strength for each day; New wine in the chalice, new altars to raise. New fruits -for thy Master, new garments of praise; New gifts from Ills treasure, new smiles front Iiis face; New streams from Ills fountain of infinite grace; New stars for thy crown, and tokens of love; New gleams of the glory that waits thee aboe; New light of His countenance, full and unpriced-All this be the Joy of thy new year In Christ! Thon last two words of Misi Ilavergal's. "in. Christ," disclose the secret of the new year3 jcy. If your new year is "In Christ" It will be a "happy new year," ita resolutions being kept. If it is not "in Christ" it will bo a sal new year, for Its good resolutions will bo broken, since Christ alone can give us jxiwer to keep our good resolutions. And what Is U to have our new year "is Christ?" It means far more than to know about Him and believe in Him; the devils do. that. It is even more than to do His will, for sometimes Lad men do His will in spite of themselves. It means to love Christ. It means to make Chrld the sum of our delight, the goal of our derires. It means so to draw near to Christ, and ho t receive Christ to ourselves, that we two i-hai: be verily one. He In us and wo in lllm. llii new year, then, with all its blessedness and ttiumphs, will be our new year also. I asked the New Year for some motto sweet. Seme rule of life by which to guide my feet; I asked and paused. He answered soft and lowCud's will to know." "Will knowledge, then, sufilce, N:w Year!" I crhvi. 4 l?ut ere the question into answer dl-d The answer cme, "Nay. thl remember, too Goal's will to do." Once jnore I aked. "Is there rtlll more to tell! And one again the answer sweetly fell.
