The new vaudeville bill at the Grand this werk Is an exceptionally fine one, but the wonderful troupe of educated elephants shown by Prof. Lockhart almost causes the other acts on the programme to pale Into insignificance. These animals made their first bows to an Indianapolis audience yesterday afternoon and. without any pre liminaries, plunged at once Into the per forraance of a number of feats that fairly brought down the house. One of the ele phants walked alons a single row of bot tles. Another stood on his head in a per fectly perpendicular posture. A little baby elephant did a really cl ver cakewalk. The troupe resolved itself into a band of musicians, one playing an organ and beating the bass drum simultaneously, another doing a funny "shakedown" with sleigh bells tied around Its feet, while a third acted as leader, gravely accepting the music took from Prof. Lockhart and then walking with it to the rack, where the volume was carefully opened. This feat was applauded to the echo. The Inter esting and surprising things done by the animals cannot be adequately described in the limits of a newspaper review. The act must be witnessed to be thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed. It is without doubt the greatest trained animal exhibi tion ever given here. The kinodrome or moving picture machine, proved a source of unbounded delight to yesterday's audiences. It Is a highly improved form of the klnetoscope and shows connected views almost without any of the flicker that Is usually noticeable in such exhibitions. The pictures of the Eiffel Tower taken from a captive balloon and the excellent repro duction of the Drury-lane Theater panto mima "Cinderella," were by far the best shown. The Cinderella" pictures are in colors anci are given with ciearcut dls tlnc'-ness. John A. West, minstrel and nor former on various musical instruments. ttarted the programme off with vim and rut everybody in thorough good humor. Sir. and Mrs. Harry Jackson, in their uproarious sketch "A Bachelor's Home." contrived to amuse by their funny antics rather than any inherent merit of the piece they presented. One of the best numbers cn the bill Is "The Quality Girl." who s?ng3 deJignuuiiy ana snows some remark ably handsome costumes. Her voice is soprano of great power, richness and dar lty. Slngintr is also the strong point of th act contriDutc! oy warren and Ulanchard. Mr. Warron has one of the best bari tone voices heard here in a long time. TJlanchard is an inimitable blackface comedian. t.dul ulrard s sensational and comical entry through a window did not prevent him from beinar recognized by old friends who enj"yet nts comio eccentricities In "Natural Gas." some years ago. He was given a warm greeting and he and U -Iraner furnished fifteen min utrs of excellent entertainment with their litt! farce "The Soubrette and the Cop." Miss Gardner's sour "Dohemla" created a distinctly favorable impression. The re tr.alnlr.ff act was thut of Billy Link, the Markface. monologue artist. The new part cf Mr. Link s talk wna quite brljsht enough to atone for hi? assurance In dragging out several hoary-heaced jokes. Altogether. the Grand has a collection of vaudeville acts tlmt ought to Insure crowded houses at loth afternoon and nijht performances throughout tne ween. Miss Nevr York, Jr. The oper.Ing" performance of "Miss New York, jr.." yesterday afternoon at the Kmplre Theater, if taken as a criterion of what will be permitted for the remainder of the week, might In some instances be classed as vulgar. There was in no sense any reasonable excuse for the risjue remarks rnade !n the opening burlesque and the sev eral later during the progress of the show. .

Nellie Hill and Hattie Mills In a personal conversation act had a good time much to

the delight of the gallery patrons. Miss Lillian Nelson, one of the family of famous female acrobats of that name, and Joe Farnum have a lively time with their daring feats of tumbling. Bmma Kraus, a singer, who has a strong voice, rendered several classic pieces that were appreciated. "Cleouatra at Coney Island," tne title ot the last burlesque, is prettily staged and the cako walking act by the members of the chorus is well done. Several popular songs are sung during this part of the show, among which Is a lullaby by Miss Kraus, assisted by the chorus. "The Eleventh Hour" at the Park. The magnetic power of Lincoln J. Carter's name was clearly demonstrated by the large audience that came to the Tark Theater yesterday afternoon and last night to witness performances of "The Eleventh Hour," the latest sensational melodrama from the pen of that prolific writer. Like all of hia other plays, "The Eleventh Hour" is of the ultra-thrilling type and deals with incidents supposed to have occurred in and about Chicago, a city with which Mr. Carter is thoroughly acquainted. It is well known that Mr. Carter never produces a llay that does not exploit one or more scenic sensations, and these are usually of a unique mechanical character. In "The Eleventh Hour" there are several scenes decidedly out of the ordinary. The most exciting comes near the close of the play and shows a desperate struggle between Joe Manly, the hero, and Ben Fowler, In which every article in a magnificent drawing room is disarranged and the whole apartment reduced to a state of chaos. Next to this scene. In Importance, Is that which takes rlace in the block tower of a railroad near Chicago, where the villain attempts to wreck a train by giving the engineer the wrong signal, but is thwarted Just in the nick of time, a sky rocket being fired across the track as a warning to the oncoming train. The first act of the play deals with the murder of an old farmer for his wealth, the second transpires in Chicago, the third on the roalroad and the last two acts in the Windy City. The company interpreting the piece is capable. Walwln Woods, William Tulley and Fannie Argyle are particularly good In the principal parts. "The Eleventh Hour" will be found a strong New Year's attraction. Its engagement wil come to a close with two performances to-morrow. The Zoo's "Sevr Programme. Prof. Blake's famous dog and monkey circus opened an engagement at the Zoo yesterday for this week and tha performance of his wonderful lot of dogs and monkeys Is without doubt the most interesting show of its kind ever seen in Indianapolis. A hundred different acts are given In less than an hour, and there is not the usual tiresome intermissions. Prof. Blake has trained a toy poodle named "Teddy" to climb a ladder to the roof and dive into a canvass net below. "Bartel." one of the largest monkeys of the collection, made a decided hit with tho crowd. He 's a bicycle rider of experience and pedals a machine around the arena as If he Intended to make a century run. H also rode a bicylcle across a tight wire. "Miss Patsy" is the name of the clever little monkey that walks the tight wire, using a balancing pole. She also performs many tricks on the wire. "Oom Paul" rides a bicycle and when Prof. Blake caused him to run behind the stools on which the dogs were seated the big monkey jumped from his wheel, and after pulling the machine out again mounted and continued his sprint around the arena. He also skates on rollr skates. The clown monkey is "Dixon." The manner In which he wrestled with his little chair last night was amusing. "Dixon" Is placed on the back of "Captain," the bucking St. Bernard, and Is hard to shake off. The dogs are none the less clever, there being twenty that perform many Interesting acts. "Corbett" and "Jeffries" give a clever boxing bout. The programme for this week also includes many other interesting features and to-day promises to be a record breaker. "Esau," the chimpanzee, will be shipped to another one of Bostock s zoos Saturday night. La Belle Sellca has added new features to her act with the four performing Hons, causing them to Jump hurdles and do other tricks. Branda, the East India snake enchantress, opened a week's engagement yesterday. The Liberty Bell Jubilee Singers are now playing their second week and they have added new features to their act concluding with a cake walk. "Mrs. Murphy" will make another ascension and parachute leap to-day at 1 o clock. Theatrical Mnnnjsers Form a Trust. NEW YORK, Dec. 31. An official statement' of the objects of the new combination of traveling theatrical managers has just been made. The name of the organization will, be "The Association of Traveling Man agers." In general the object is mutual pro tection. Papers of Incorporation will be ex ecuted and filed at Albany. Nearly 150 traveling attractions are already reported in the membership. Offices will be estab lished at once and general and assistant managers will be appointed. One of the chief objects of the association is to secure better terms from railroad companies. The managers believe that transportation rates are excessive. Another important object Is the establishment of a system of attorneys and bondsmen throughout tho country. Un reliable actors will be tabooed by the as sociation. If violations of contracts and misconduct on the part of an actor are proven, no member of the association will be permitted to give him further employ mnt. In a measure the general manager will supplant the theatrical agent for lists of available performers. The members of the association expect In this manner to expedite the matter of engaging talent. If this is carried out it means loss of business to the agents and saving of commissions to the actors. Flay for Choynaki and Wife. CINCINNATI. O., Due. 31.-Joseph Choynskl, of Chicago, the prize fighter, is here arranging for his forthcoming venture in vaudeville. Charles W.

Offer n Reward of $25,000 for the Capture and Conviction of the Abductors of Yonngr Cudahy. . i OMAHA, Neb., Dec. 31. At a specially called meeting of the City Council that body this afternoon adopted concurrent resolutions offering a reward of $23,000 for the apprehension of and conviction of the desperadoes who abducted Edward Cudahy, Jr., on the night of Dec. 18. For the arrest and conviction of one, the resolution provides a reward of $8,000; for two $15,000 will be paid, and the whole amount Is offered for the three principals. The members of the Council did hot deliberate long and the vote by which the resolution was passed was unanimous. The Council also asked Mr. Cudahy to withdraw his offer of a reward of an equal amount for the capture of the criminals. The object of the city's offer Is largely to relieve Mr. Cudahy and his family of tho fear of reprisals from the bandits and to remove from the police and detectives the restraint they have felt In trailing the bandits on account of the very trying position in which Mr. Cudahy has been placed. The action of the Council Is commended by tho citizens. Mayor Moores to-day made the following statement: "Bullet or no bullets, I intend to offer a reward for the arrest of the Cudahy kidnapers. This case has come to .a pass where It Is the public's duty to step in and relieve th terrible strain under which the Cudahy family is at present. That last letter, from the kidnapers puts such a serious coloring on the case that It is not right to expect Mr. Cudahy to continue his offer of $25,000 reward for the arrest and conviction of the men who stole his boy. I have wired the Governor, urging him to offer a reward. A special meeting of the Council has been called for this purpose to consider the advisability of appropriating $10,000 for any person who may bring about the conviction of the kidnapers. The county will also be asktd to give some money, and I have no doubt but we will swell the sum to $25,000. "The Cudahy family has suffered enough at the hands of these desperadoes. It is not comfortable for them to be living under threat that a bullet will end tha life of one of their children In case their reward Is continued, and law and order demand that an end be brought to such proceedings." Notwithstanding the anxiety of Mayor Moores to relieve Mr. E. A. Cudahy of the "burden" of. offering a reward of $25,000 for the arrest and conviction of the kidnapers and the offering of another reward of $25,000 based on the mayor's "personal guarantee" to raise it by popular subscription, Mr. Cudahy declines to be relieved of the burden and announces that his reward will stand. This information was given out to-night by General John O. Cowing, Mr. Cudahy's lawyer, immediately after an Interview with the millionaire, at which the case was discussed in all us details. Maggie Iloel Eloped. PUEBLO. Col., Dec. 31.

The attention of fashionable women, and. indeed, of everyone, has been drawn to a business transaction requiring the investment annually, for a period of twenty years, of a sum of money which is in itself a fortune, being no less an amount than sixteen thousand dollars to be paid yearly for policies In several life Insurance companies, plaoed by Mr. and Mrs. Frank O. Lowden. Already one of the richest women In the world, Mrs. "Lowden, the daughter of the late George M. Pullman, was not content until she had added to other good investments that of life insurance. The conditions for women of an Investment of this nature were, until recently, so hedged about with difficulties that but few had the courage to apply to Insurance companies. Now, however, the needs of a woman are recognized. It is understood fche is a money-maker, and therefore, a possible money saver. And when t-eeklng that which is her best and safest investment, an insurance policy, she !s accepted by an Insurance company on the t-ame conditions that a man is a good physical examinationand at the fame cost. "Elite has been surprised that so much interest In this matter has been awakened by Mrs. Lowden's Investment. Queries In regard to it have poured into the ofLce und Information asked as to how women, not so fortunate as Mrs. Lowden in the possession of wealth, may secure affluence In their later years? On Inquiry it is lenrned that for a number of years the ri-h women have been quietly using this form of investment for ums varying from one thousand to fifty thousand dollars, many times kceiIng this knowledge from everyone except the agent who transacted the business. Mrs. Lowden has set the pace, and others who are to-day able to follow hrr example would do well to imitate her. The greatest surprise in the matter is how small an amount must be Invested every year to produce large results. Many women who have not kept abreast of the times still look upon insurance as the price of a life. Fortunately these are few, and growing less. Insurance is an entity, as much eo as a house or a piece of real estate, and a woman can acquire a large policy by using only a small portion of her monthly allowance, making herself independent in later life. Unlike a house, which must deteriorate with age, her Insurance policy is of greater value with the passing of time. Endowment insurance is the form usually chosen by women and should be looked upon as a means of saving money rather than an expense." Mr. and Mrs. Lowden are now Insured for $250.000 each, their total premium payments being, as noted above, about $16.000 annually. Slovements of Steamers. ANTWERP. Dec 31.
