Fatrons of the Fark are finding the Bcrlbner Sho which opened a three days engagement t that house yesterday, a trifle the bes specialty organization they have seen Ina long time. The people In the company ire not heralded as stars of different natlnalltles, yet there Is scarcely an act on tb programme that la not of stellar merit Grant and Grant, a pair of colored sigers and dancers. Introduce the entertalnient with a clever and enjoyable sketch. Joseph Adelman gives an exhibition ol skill as a xylopone player that Is one o the hits of the performance. Fred HaHenand Molly Fuller are expoitlng a brandnew sketch entitled "A Desperate Pair, that Is brimful of bright lines and fury situations and totally lacking In dullnss. The smooth work of the man that jays the butler adds greatly to the apprelatlon of the finished comedy acting of Ir. Hallen and Miss Fuller. Then come the great team of Celtic Comedians. 'isher and Carroll. Carroll has a make-up lat Is simply Irresistible In its comicality, -hlle his mimicry of a sorrowful canine flrly causes n panic of merriment "each me he gets It off. The acrobatic turn c Caron and Herbert has been een here bfore. but Is so different from the usual rn of such sketches as to be thoroughly enjoyable. The performance would not Rffer greatly, however. If these men were o reduce their act to a time limit of twnty minutes by elimlnutlng much unnessary "business." The Le Page sister are a pair of dainty little lightning c'ange artists, nimble of foot, and possesing melodious voices. They change cosumes three times, sing four ongs and do as many different dances. Including a picturesque highland fling, in the brief space of fifteen minutes. .Next to the las on the bill is Kara Kendall, the peerles monologuist. whose running fire of qur sayings and clever jokes 1 always freh and up to date. It Is what the "galley gods" call "a clever spiel." The fine pcformam-t closes with one of the best acts ,n the bill, the really wonderful Juggling aid playing of guitar and mandolin imjltnrieouly by the Wartenberg brothers. While the men are In a rectimbcr.t losfjrc they play musical Instru.menu anj manipulate large globe with their feet, after which they tos about and catih foir globe?, keeping them In constant motion from each other's hands and feet in a circular orbit. The SiTlbner Show will give two performatier to-day and clo Its engagement with two final exhibition to-mor-row. timre Temple Dentl. DENVER. Col., Jan. 3.-MIss Grace Temple, one of thf "My Friend from India" company. Is dead of pneumonia at St. Joseph' Hospital. She wo taken ill when

playing at the Denver Theater two weeks afro. Miss Belle Trernont. of the Bostonians. who is 111 with pneumonia at the Tremont Hotel In this city, is In a critical condi tlon.

Aftrms Tnkm Too Much Ether. CHILLICOTHE, Mo., Jan. 3.-JessIe E. Clark, an actress, whose stage name was Violet Creegan, was found dead In her room at a hotel here to-day. The death resulted from thö use of ether, believed to have been taken to relieve headache. MILWAUKEE. Wis.. Jan. 3.-Jesie E. Clark, or Violet Creegan, is believed to be the daughter of Mrs. McNamar, who lives at Lavalle, Wis. .otr of the Staue. Henrietta Crossman announces that when she leaves New York for her road tour in "Mistress Nell" she will follow the example set by Mrs. Flske of playing in theaters outside the trust. XXX The highest recommendation that can be made In behalf of "Reaping the Whirlwind." the new play coming to the Park Monday to remain the first half of next week. Is that It was written by Owen Davis, the man who wrote "Through the Breakers," one of last season's greatest successes. , XXX The. Mission" 13 the title of the play in which Ada Rehan will be seen when "Sweet Nell of Old Drury" has run its course. The new play is from the pen of Felix PhllippI, and has been running In Berlin during the past year. Eleanora Duse has secured the Italian rights to the same piece and Is getting ready for Its presentation in Italy. XXX Three days next week Hurtig & Seamon's Social Maids Burlesque Company will be seen at the Empire opening with the Monday matinee. The company comes from Cincinnati, where It has been playing to a big business. The remaining three days of the week will be filled In by the Rose Sydell London Belles Burlesque Company. XXX The great Lafayette, who Is to head the list of vaudeville entertainers at the Grand, next week. Is a man of remarkable resources and striking originality. He is." perhaps, fully as clever a magician as Kellar or Herrmann, but now anu then he Injects a few Impersonations into his act that are calculated to make the beholder wonder what manner of man he is anyway. XXX "A Young "Wife," the play In which Selma Herman will be seen at English's Opera House to-night, to-morrow afternoon and to-morrow night, has been likened to a panoramic view of New Ycrk. because of the fidelity of many of its scenes to actual views In the metropolis. Miss Herman Is said to be provided with a part that gives her great powers as an emotional actress the fullest sway. XXX "The Rounders," one of the most delightful musical comedies ever written, containing enough catchy airs to equip a comic opera, will open the new week at English's next Monday night. An announcement of the mere engagement of the production is sufficient to aTouse interest in its appearance, but when it Is added that Thomas Q. Seabrooke is at the head of the cast there can be no doubt that English's will be well filled Monday and Tuesday nights. XXX When the Zoo first opened Its doors In the Cyclorama building, the management announced that the policy would be to provide changes of bill weekly. Better than this has actually been done. During the current week several new attractions have been added to the list shown on Monday, which was of excellent length and quality. The arenlc exhibitions are now almost continuous, the intervals being devoted to the enjoyment of grown folks and children in free rides on the dromedaries, elephants, ponies and donkeys. XXX The Quality Girl" is one of the best acts on the bill at the Grand this week. The young woman whose identity is concealed by this title is possessed of a splendid soprano voice, of which she has perfect control. Her singing of "O Listen to the Band," attired in a handsome hussar costume, is calculated to stir the most sluggish blood. Then there are the wonderful Lockhart educated elephants, almost as Intelligent as school children: Eddie Girard and Jessie Gardner, who could bring smiles to the face of a confirmed cynic; and several other high-class acts, all going to make up the best bill yet shown at the Grand. CITY NEWS NOTES. Pupils of the Manual Training High School take great interest in the numerous prizes offered for designs and suggestions along the lines of their work and many of them enter such contests. Recently Mark Dennis won the prize offered by the American Farmer Company, of this city, for a new heading design. Dennis and Harry Emerich divided the prize offered for a heading for the poem on "The New Century," written by Solon L. Goode. The New Castle Bridge Company, which was established four year ago, is preparing to move Its plant to this city and also for the Issuance of bonds in the sum of $50,000 in order to increase its capital stock to $100.000. The company now employs a. force of about seventy-five men and if the plans now made are carried out the working force will be greately increased. Nego tiations are being made for the purchase of the Levi Pierson property at Shelby street and the Belt Railroad, where a building 60x300 feet will be erected. Percllla Thompson, a colored woman, who said she lived at 816 Blake street, fell under the coaches of a train yesterday morning at the Union Station and was pulled from danger by one of the attendants. She was then sent to police headquarters and slated as insane. She claimed on Christmas to have raised a window when her soul talked with the soul of the Lord, and she was commanded to go out and reform the world. She had purchased a ticket and was on her way to perform her "mission" when she fell under the train. Wednesday night when W. It. Small, of 604 North New Jersey street, and his wife returned to their home a note In which a thief expressed to them his thankfulness for their absence, enabling him to search the house and take a few things, was found stuck in the front door. Investigation showed that nothing had been taken but a dress suit and a watch fob, the latter highly prized by Mr. Small. The plunder was taken from tho attic, to reach which It was necessary to pass through the dining room, where the silverware was kept, yet none of it was disturbed. The writer of the note also stated that Mrs. Small's mother and the baby were In the parlor while he had conducted his operations. UIXSCXU nOOT IS PRECIOUS. Chinese Demand la Supplied from the Catsklll Mountain. Brooklyn Eagle. "At this season of the year," said a dealer In roots and herbs, "hundreds of men and boys who live up in the Catskill mountains In Lister. Greene and Sullivan counties are putting in almost their entire time searching for ginseng root. "Ginseng root Is greatly valued by the Chinese by reason of its supposed medicinal qualities. Scarcely h Chinaman but has some of the root always In his possession Much ginseng is soM in the Chinese quarter in Manhattan. The men and boys who hunt for the root throughout the mountains sometimes walk from fifteen to twenty miles a day in their rambles about the mountains. They earn anywhere from $1 to $1 a dav A fair day's find will generally give them seme two pounds of the preen root, ani to make one pound of marketable root fully dried requires about three pounds of creen product. Ginseng root brlnsrs in the open market about $1 a pound. The highest price offered for the root by dealers this season Is $4.55. The root Is growing scarcer every yir and is always hard to find. A piece of the root if left In the ground will grow, and the dlgorer rellRiously commit to the jarent earth the seeds, which are ir.clcr.cd In a pa! red pod.

A GRAND BALL GIVES

SPLKNOID social fi:.ctiox AT Tim NEW COLUMBIA CLUB. The Last of the Serien of II I c Event Dedicatory of the Xevr Building. WOMEN GORGEOUSLY GOWNED TUB BEAl'TIFl'L BALLROOM BRILLIANT WITH 3IAXY LIGHTS. A Dainty Menu Served Daring the EveningSome of Tlioie PresentOther Social Affairs. "There was a sound of revelry by night, And all went merry as a marriage bell." So much of the familiar old poem fits the brilliant reception and ball at the Columbia Club last night the last of a series of splendid functions dedicatory of the new building and the first remarkable social event of the twentieth century in Indiana's capital city. The affair was not scheduled to begin until 9 o'clock, but a half-hour before that time the rumble and roll of carriages resounded in Monument place, and each vehicle came to a halt in front of the radiantly illuminated building, the windows of which seemed to be sending out bright greetings to all friends of the organization domiciled within. For nearly two hours the carriages came and went, leaving their occupants, until it seemed as if the entire building would scarce suffice to contain them all. There were two Meccas for the light-hearted revelersthe ballroom and the dining hall. The former was sought first. This grant apartment, which is almost entirely made up of beautiful decorations, presented a scene last night that would have defied the brush of a painter to reproduce. With the dazzling effulgence of scores of electric lights beating upon them, each bit of dellcut fresco, each charming relief, each square, of stucco, each sculptured bust and Doric pillar In this Arabian Nights dream of an apartment stood out sharp and clear for what it is the fancy of an artist caught and held by some subtle enchantment, so that it may be seen of mortal eyes. A SCENE OF RICHNESS. This is merely a halting attempt to picture the ballroom as it appeared empty of dancers. When the orchestra had taken its place and the enticing strains of waltzes, two-steps and the lancers were vibrating in the air, while the revelers, attired In costumes of regal richness were drinking in the exhilaration of the dance, the scene was one of mental intoxication. The women of Indianapolis have long been famed for their elegance of dress, but they quite outdid themselves last night, showing a thorough appreciation of the importance of the occasion. It is safe to predict that no one who saw it will forget the wondrous picture presented by the luxurious ballroom thronged with Indiana's flower and chivalry. The dresses worn by the women were made especially for the occasion and many came from celebrated modistes in New York, London and Paris. The programme of dances was arranged so as to last a goodly while, but the spell continued so fctrong that many extra numbers were introduced and the festivities were prolonged until the early hours of the morning. The list of dances: Grand march and waltz: two-step; lancers; two-step: waltz; two-step; lancers; two-step; waltz; intermission; two-step; waltz; quadrille; two-step; waltz; twostep; two-step; waltz; two-step. THE GRAND MARCH. The grand march was led off to the air of the march from "The Ameer" by the officers of the club, attended by their wives, as follows: Mr. and Mrs. John B. Cockrum, Mr. and Mrs. John S. Lazarus, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Morrison, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Latham, Mr. and Mrs. Harry S. New, Mr. and Mrs. Franklin W. Hays, Mr. and Mrs. Ray P. Van Camp, Mr. and Mrs. Francis T. Roots, of Connersville. In the intervals between dances a delicate luncheon was served in the beautiful banqueting hall on the second fldor. The menu was: Bouillon in cups. Salted Almonds. Olives. Oyster Patties. Lobster Salad. Ice Cream. Cake. Coffee. The music was furnished by Hart's orchestra, greatly augmented for the occasion. The following numbers were played: Grand march, march from "The Ameer;" two-step, "Buds of 'W (new here), by Harold B. Wynn, a Harvard man; two-step, from the "Singing Glri;" "The Troopers' Review," by Pyers; waltz from "The Serenade;" "Tho Man Behind the Gun;" "The Tale of the Kangaroo." from 'The Burgomaster;" "Follow the Man from Cook's," from "A Runaway Girl;" "O Listen to the Band;" "Down In Lovers' Lane," by Cook; "Moonlight on the Lake;" "The Merry War" (Straus); "Roses from tho South" (Straus.)

MISTAKEN FOR CROWE

STORY TOLD BY A SCIENTIST WHO AVAS 1'lItSlEI) II Y DETECTIVES. Latter Thonsht He Wns the Ubiquitous "Int" nnd Ran Him Down on Pine Ridge Reservation. CHADRON. Neb., Jan. 3. R. G. Dennis, a scientist, of" Boston, told the story of his flight from detectives who pursued him In the belief that he was Pat Crowe, wanted in Omaha in the Cudahy kidnaping case. Mr. Dennis said: "I had been collecting specimens in tho Bad Lands for some time, and, feeling th.it I might expect opixsition from the Indians within the Sioux reservation, I was usually on the lookout. On the day of my fright I had noticed two men watching me and acting as if they did not wish to r-e seen. I had wandered further from headquarters than usual and was driving most of the time westward. After noticing that I was being followed I gave up all search for that day and concluded to rnaice straight for the ranch near Oelrlchs, S. D.. at which place I was stopping. "My pursuers, supposing that I had been detected and that I was trying to escape, came hotly on my trail, which again made me quicken my pace. Now it had become a ride for life. On faster and faster they came and I was urging the poor mare on to her utmost effort. Roads are a thing not to be found in this country and it was taxing my wits to the utmost to keep out of canyons. When I could see but one man behind me my fright became intense, for I well knew that one had left his companion with the intention of intercepting me beyond the divide, which proved only too true. I waj finally overtaken and stopped at the muzzle of guns, which appeared the size of cannon. I was soon Informed what was wanted of me, and when I was assured that I was not to be scalped or burned at the stake, for I had teen too frightened up to this time to notice whether my captors were white men or Indians, the situation became nmusing.' There was little trouble in establishing my identity. As soon as I can collect my belongings I will depart for Boston, feeling that I have burned my courage at the stake for the sake of science."

Startling Description of the America Audiences Which Greett-d Hüchel. Paris Letter, London Ttlcgrarh. ' The departure of Sarah Bernhardt, Ihm most famous actress of her time, ;for still one more grand tour In the new world has taken place almost exactly on the fortyllfth anniversary of the date on which for the first time a French tragedienne left France to act in the United States In October, lw, the grtat Rachel, in plte of all that her friends could say to discourage her In an enterprise which to them savored of sheer madness, went off to Amtirlca "oa tour." She took her own company, with lur; she and her brother, Raphael FtHx, were their own lmpressarlos and advertising agents, and In the discharge of the latter duties she showed signal Incapacity. Trusting, with magnificent self-ccmndence, in the magic power of the name Rachel, which was one to work wonders,' with all over Europe, she practically let the advertising branch of the business take care of ltselr, and calmly arrived In the States before any save a small Fet of cultured and cosmopolitan playgoers knew that, she wai coming. JThe result was that she played, to half-empty houses. ; The descriptions given in the letters of one of the actors in her company of th appearances and behavior of her audiences are extraordinary reading. According to these, Rachel's houses were certainly brilliant in respect to attire. The ladies blazed with diamonds, strewn over dresse in all the loudest colors of the ; rainbow, and the men were hardly less scintillating. The latter were described as wearing long hair and Immense goatees beneath shaven upper Hps. Still more curious was the way in which the spectators behaved. Loud conversations from box to box ind from the boxes to the stalls were carried oa during the play, only ceasing when Rachel appeared, and being resumed at th exact moment of her leaving the stage, when the men immediately turned their backs on the footlights or stretched out their legs over the backs of unoccupied stalls. The tour, which c.yne to a premature end. not only brought Rache; no profits, but failed even to pay experses. The disappointed actress, who had told all her friends on leaving tljat she would come back with a fortune, returned heart broken and ailing, after an absence of little over three months. She never recovered from & chill which the had caught during a performance at Philadelphia. Consumption set in soon after her return to F.rance. A winter spent in Egypt failed to restore her to health, and two years and thrve months after her departure for the expected triumphal progress across America, which had ended in so melancholy a home-coming, Rachel died near Cannes, In January, 1K8, at the age of thirty-seven. The Story or a Ring. Detroit Free Press. "The oddest experience I ever had.' said a gray-haired Ohio man, "reached its climax last night. Twenty years ago I lived in the little town of Batavia. O., and ono day as I was hurrying along the street to escape a coming storm a gold ring dropped with a sharp thud in a little mud puddle by the sidewalk and I sloped to pick it up. I thought some children playing at a window of a house built out to the istfect might have thrown it down, but after ,tho storm had blown over I went there oi;ly to find that nobody knew anything 'about It. Neither did anybody else in that neighborhood, nor was the ring known to any one, as it way likely to have been In a small town, for It was a nice one. It fitted my finger and I sllpied it on, and there it staid until last night. Of course, the tory of it has been one of my mysteries, all thes years, and always before tinlrhlng It I would ask the crowd of listeners, if any of them had lost such a ring and could tell mo the name inside of it I would be glad to restore it. 1 "Well, last night, sitting over thre in the lobby of the hotel with three or tour people listening, I told my ring story, and when I asked the usual question a man about my own age came forward and said the nam In the ring was 'Charlea Drown.' with the date '1S72.' Of course. I was surprised, and was about to hand it over to him when It struck me that perhaps he had heard tho story before and was trying to use his knowledge to get my ring. But ne went on to tell me that on the day In encstlon he had gone up in a balloon from Cincinnati, about thirty miles away, with a circus aeronaut who was a friend of his, and as they passed over Batavia in th storm he was reaching outside of the Walloon to fasten a flying rope when the ring caught in some way nnd was pulled off his finger. He had been Injured when the balloon descended and was laid up for scv?ral weeks, and then he thought It was too(late to advertise for It, so let It go. "You see," concluded the gtntlfman. holding out his hand, "he was nof trying to beat me, for here Is a much fintr ring that he gave me for the other one. and the nam in it is my own 'From CharJes Drown, iiso-im" The Kind He Wanted.
