"At the White Horse TnYcrn" at English's. f Tatron3 of English's Opera House, who missed that delightful German comedy, "At the White Horse Tavern." when it was produced, here a year ago, evidently made up their minds to let nothing prevent them a second timo from enjoying1 that pleasure, for the theater held an audience or excellent sizo last nignt, considering the steady downpour of rain which would ordinarily keep people indoors. Those in the audience who had seen the play" before were agreeably surprised to find that the present cast 13 much better than the one of last year and that the production is much more enjoyable. Frederick Bond, whose conspicuous ability as a comedian was held in repression by tho lesser role of Leopold, the head waiter, last season. Is now provided with the greater character - of Giesecke, the irascible manufacturer of lamps from Berlin. Mr. Bond's Impersonation of this character Is a finished piece of werk and shows great versatility. George Friend Is a worthy successor to Mr. Bond In tho rolo of Leopold. The circumstance that brought about the selection of Miss Aua Curry to portray the interesting character of Mme. Josepha, hostess of the White Horse Inn. wa3 most fortunate. Miss Curry Is not merely an excellent actress, but brings to the part the needed graces of person. Charles I Ian ford handles the Important rart of Frederic Seidler, ihe young and crafty attorney, in a masterly manner. Fred Summerrleld Is st.l cast In the ever-delightful character of Professor . lllnzelman, the man who loves travel beyond all other earthly Joys. In las creation of tho quaint, lovable professor, Mr. Summerrleld has. given the stage, one of Its brightest character portrayals and bne that cannot fail to take a permanent place In the memories of all who witness It. Charlotte Crano as Ottilie Giesecke. contributes her full share to one of the several love stories In the piece, that so much resemble pastels in prose. Another of these fascinating romances Is worked out by Louis Albion as Arthur Sutro and Delia Clarke as Clara lllnzclman. The latter character is of a young girl afflicted with the lisping habit so seriously that she has given up all hope of ever petting a man to fall in love with her. By a most Ingenious plan her very malady proves the stumbling block over which she is precipitated into love's net. There Is an interesting newly married pair. Dr. Bernback ; and hU wife. Emily, on their honeymoon. ; Impersonated by Charles II. Booth and J Miss Estabrooke Galloway, who lit most satisfactorily into several very pretty stage picture. A host of minor characters is employed in the production, and these are all in capable hands. There is only one setting for "At the White Horse Tavern," but that Is as picturesque aod complete as scenic art could make it. Within the nirrow limits of the stage one nees the pretty little Inn. with clambering virus, the pleasant lawn In Xrcnt, the Inviting forest to the left, while in the rear is tn boat landing, with the lake spreading out until Its waters lave the base, of th- majestic mountain peak and over all the healthful, bracing atmosphere of the Tyrolean Alps. The realism of the fcene showing the landing: of the tourist steamer evoked i burt of enthusiastic applause last night The most effective erer.t, however, was the admirable, rainstorm. In which nearly all of the guests

at the inn were drenched with real water."

"At the White Horse Tavern" will be re peated for the last time to-night. Xotes of the Staue. William Collier, the comedian of the low and well modulated utterance, has signed a contract by which Jacob Litt becomes his manager for a term of ten years, beginning next fall. XXX At the Empire, commencing at to-day's matinee, and continuing the balance of this week. Rose Sydell's London Belles Compayn will entertain the patrons of this house In a. programme which is calculated to drive away dull care. x 'x x Nat Goodwin will, it I said, revive "The Merchant of Venice" with a practically all-star cast in the spring. Among the prominent people he may have associated with him are Stuart Robson and William Faversham. x xx Charles Dalton. .who plays Marcus Superbus in "The Sign of the Cross." which will be seen at English's to-morrow and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon, is a magnificent specimen of a man, realizing fully one's ideal of a Roman military officer, and. In addition, is an actor of great power. XXX A woman once Introduced to an actor a man willing to act as his financial backer. The venture proved remarkably successful, whereupon the woman brought suit against the actor on a claim for compensation for having brought about thelntroduction. The characters in this little sketch are: The woman. Emily Brlnsley Sheridan, the actor, W. S. Fenley, the man, unknown. x x v x The varied and complicated act of Lafayette at the Grand this week requires dexterous manipulation of properties and light effects, and the uneven performance given Monday was occasioned by lapses on the part of his assistants. Since the lirst day, however, there has been nothing of this and the clever mystlfier and impersonator has been giving delightful performances. xxx A surprising quantity of wit, humor, satire, music, songs, dances, fun and hilarity Is said to be stored away in this year's production of Hoyt's "A Black Sheep." and Manager Fred E. Wright claims that it would scarcely bo possible to engage a better company than the present organization. William Devcre, the rotund comedian, will be seen in "A Black Sheep" at the Park this afternoon and the remainder of the current week. , X X x In next week's bill at the Grand Armin and Wagner appear In a sketch called "Opera In the Kitchen." This Is said to be unusually clever and enjoyable. Kathryn Osterman and her company will present the sparkling comedy sketch, "The Editor," and Corinne will introduce her original creation. "The Minstrel Boy." These arc only a few of the excellent acts that have been brought together by Manager Anderson for his local patrons.' XXX The return of Capt. Jack Bonavita to the Zoo, with a greater Hon act than he had when seen here before, has very naturally resulted in a large increase in attendance. Captain Bonavita has. during the period of his absence in the East, broken in and trained to do his bidding a group of twenty magnificent forest-bred lions, of whom he appears to stand in not the slightest fear. His act is well worth seeing. Professor Blake's dog and monkey circus, which is one of the best attractions of the kind now traveling. Is a strong drawing card along with Bonavita's exhibition. The management of the Zoo is especially desirous that patrons keep in mind the fact that to-morrow and Saturday a large share of the receipts of the institution are to be turned over to the women connected with the Free Kindergarten and Children's Aid Society of this city, a most worthy charity. Mrs. Murphy, the wonderful monkey who goes up hundreds of feet in the air in a balloon and then descends to earth again In a parachute, will make an ascension at noon today. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

M'DONflLD IS PRESIDENT

HE SECl RED KNOtr.II VOTES OX THE FIRST BALLOT. Charles Downing Again Elected Secretary Xew .Members Elected at the Day Session. Two separate State Boards of Agriculture held meetings In the office of Secretary Charles Downing, in the Statehouse, last night. The retiring board held its last meeting for the purpose of settling up the accounts of the fair last September. After adjournment the new board, which was elected yesterday morning, as related elsewhere, began its first session immediately and organized by the selection of Aaron Jones, president of the old board, to act as chairman. The first order of business was the election of a set of officers to serve during the ensuing year. Mason J. Nlblack and E. J. Robison were chosen to act as tellers and the election resulted as follows: James E. McDonald, of LIgonler, president: John L. Thompson, of Gas City, vice president; Charles Downing, of Greenfield, secretary; J. W. Lagrange, of Franklin, treasurer. Messrs. Downing and Lagrange were chosen to their respective positions by unanimous vote. The vote for president was: McDonald, 9; Jones 6. and Robison, 1. The term of Victor K. Officer, of Madison, as a member of the state live stock sanitary commission, will expire in April, and under the law It is the duty of the State Board of Agriculture to recommend to the Governor, who makes the appointment, a man to fill the vacancy. The names of Mr. Officer and W. T. Beauchamp, of Terre Haute, were voted for as suitable men to be recommended for the place. Mr. Officer received nine votes and Mr. Beauchamp seven. Some debate took- place over Chairman Jones's statement that, in his opinion, Mr. Officer Is not eligible to hold the position on the sanitary commission because of the fact that he is employed In the government internal revenue service and the federal statutes forbid a man to hold two offices of trust or profit simultaneously. Mr. Jones suggested that Mr. Beauchamp. having received the next highest vote, should be recommended to the Governor for appointment to the place The matter was finally decided by an agreement to send the names of both Mr. Officer and Mr. Beauchamp to Governor Durbin, with the explanation that, if Mr. Officer is found to be ineligible. Mr. Beauchamp shall be considered as the board's second choice. OTHER BUSINESS. The proposition made by Dr. R. C. Light to rent the fair grounds from the board for racing purposes at times in the year when the fair Is not being held was laid over for action at the February meeting. The new board wrestled with the problem of what time In the fall is the best to hold a State fair. The weeks of September 16-21 and 23-28 were considered the most favorable. The sentiment of the majority of the members seemed to incline toward the week of the 16tb to the 21st, but several objected on the ground that the Odd Fellows will hold their national encampment in Indianapolis that week and the anticipated large crowds drawn by that event might detract from the financial success of the State fair. The fact that a- very low railroad rate has been secured by the Odd Fellows for that week had great weight with the board, since they realized that it would be next to impossible to secure such a concession from the railroads for the week immediately following. A motion finally prevailed to leave the matter to the president and secretary of the board with instructions to confer with the Odd Fellows and find out whether the great parade to be given during their encampment will come early or late in the week. Should the parade be set for a day in the fore part of tho week, the State fair will be held during the week of September 16-21. If, however, the parade should bo arranged for Wednesday or Thursday of that week, the fair will be postponed to the week of Sept, 23-28. Retiring President Jones gave up his seat as chairman to the newly-elected president, James E. McDonald, in a graceful talk. Mr." McDonald responded, pledging his best efforts toward the success of all the undertakings of the board, especially the State fair, and in which he said he would expect tho co-operation of every member of the board. The last business transacted was the authorizing of a small lean to cover outstanding claims and bills for expenses of the late fair. 4 NEW MEMDERS ELECTED. The Predictions Made In the Journal All Verified. Tho election of new memters of the State Board of Agriculture, which occurred at the Statehouse yesterday morning, resulted as follows: Fifth district. H. L. Nowlln. ot Gu'lford. Sixth district, Knode Porter, of I Janetstown. Seventh district, E. J. Robison, cf Indianapolis. Eighth district, Sid Conger, of Shelbyville. Ninth district, W. T. Beauchamp, of Teire Haute. Tenth district, John C. Bridges, of Bambridge. Eleventh district, H. S. Claypool, of Mancle. Twelfth district, W. H. Blackstock, of Lafayette. Thirteenth district, John L. Thompson, of Gas City. Tho selections were predicted In each instance in yesterday morning's Journal. As was anticipated, the fight was a hot one and at times it was almost impossible for President Jones to preserve the least semblance of order. After the election a brief session was devoted to the discussion of the Grout oleomargarine bill now before Congress. The board voted to ask the two senators from Indiana to lend their support to the bill. President Jones said that if tho bill passed it would mean thousands of dollars to the farmers of Indiana. After adjournment the various members of the board and their friends depailed from the Statehouse, going to the 3rar:d Hotel, where they put in the whole afternoon discussing the merits of the candidates for the different offices in the board. NOT EVEN BEER. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) post exchange or canteen or army transport, or upon any premises used for military purposes by the United States, is hereby prohibited. The secretary of war is hereby directed to carry the provisions of this section into full force and effect." Mr. Proctor, on behalf of the military affairs committee,, offered an amendment providing the manner of appointing volunteers in the Spanish and Philippine wars to the grades of lieutenant in the regular army. After some discusion it was laid over until to-morrow. The Senate, at 5:23, held a brief executive session and adjourned. PROPOSED AMENDMENTS. Changes n the Army DIU Suggested by Severnl Senators.

RIVER AND HAHIIOR DILL. House Begins Its Discussion Without Limiting: Dehnte. WASHINGTON, Jan. 9. The House today considered the river end harbor bill. Little progress was made. In a bill carrying such a vast sum for local improvements, many localities aio bound to la disappointed and there is generally considerable Eorcness among the members who fail to get what they want. This soreness outcropped In several places to-day, the disappointed members refusing to allow any limit to be placed on the geneial debate. It extended throughout the cay, being seemingly no nearer conclusion at adjournment than when it started. Äir. Burton, chairman of the committee on rivers and harbors, who is in charge of the bin, made an elaborate explanation of its provisions. Several Western members assailed it for not containing provisions for Irrigation reservoirs and Mr. Corliss, of Michigan, aiacked it for not giving p opor recognition of the great lakes deep water way project. In reply to a question by Mr. Hepburn, Mr. Burton said the sundry civil bill would carry about JS.000,000 on contracts previously authorized. The total of direct appi epilations for rivers and harbors for the next fiscal year would aggregate about $!.0M,X)U. ROWflT THE FRENCH BALL POLICE INSPECTOR ATTACKED THE WRONG WINE SERVER. Got a Licking; for His Mistake, nnd When Other Policemen Interfered a Riot Was Precipitated. NEW YORK, Jan. 9. The French ball, which started oft rather quietly last night, became faster and wilder during the early morning hours and wound up in a general row, in which a number of spectators were arrayed against several policemen headed by Inspector Thompson. The fight began over a contention between a waiter, whose number and name are known, and a box In which wero an actor and a number of friends. The waiter declared he had opened a bottle of wine for the party at the instance of the actor, but the latter declared that the wine had not been opened, and he refused to pay forlt. The waiter tried to insist on the payment. To quiet matters and get rid of the scene one of the actor's friends paid for the bottle of wine and the waiter went away. Inspector Thompson saw the latter part of the scene, and, believing that the waiter had swindled the box party, he decided to interfere. He ran after the waiter. He was not in uniform, and as he reached the waiter he attacked him. The waiter ran off as fast as he could, with' Thompson following. The first waiter disappeared in the crowd and Thompson seized another one, thinkipg it was the man trying to escape. He and the new waiter came to blows. The fight was all one-sided, as the waiter was taller than Thompson and heavier, and he hit the inspector in the face a number of times, staggering him. Meanwhile the fight had attracted much attention and nearly everybody in the garden ran to that part of It where the tight was going on. Policemen in uniform, in civilian clothing, wardmen and detectives, headed by Captain Thomas, of the Tenderloin, ran up to see what was going on. The spectators saw that the police were taking the part of the waiter's opponent, whom they did not know, and the waiter was likely to get the worst of it. They sided with the waiter, and for a few minutes the police had a hard time to hold their own. Finally the crowd was quieted and the waiter was taken to the station house, where, after a short time, he was released, aa no one pressed a charge against him. COL. HAY'S PROPOSAL. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) cording to a statement made by a high Foreign Office official to a representative of the Associated Press to-day, because an exchange of views between the Cabinet on the subject is now proceeding. The German Foreign Office, however, believes Mr. Conger's view of the attitude of the Empress dowager is correct and that the position of the Chinese court at Si-Ngan-Fu is growing more and more untenable, rendering it probable that the powers will soon succeed in persuading the imperial personages to return to Peking. ATTITUDE OF MISSIONARIES, Letter from Secretary liny "to Dr. Brown, of the Presbyterian Board. NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-The Rev. Dr. Arthur J. Brown, one of the secretaries of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, recently wrote to President McKinley regarding current reports criticising the missionaries in China for urging the government to what was termed a revengeful policy towards the Chinese. He asked for Information as to the matter. To-day Dr. Erown gave out a letter which he had received from Secretary Hay. The secretary of state says that the secretary to the President had referred to him the letter received from Dr. Brown, and he quoted from that letter a sentence to the eiTe.n that If "any booldthlrsty communications from missionaries have been received at the White House or the State Department it is important to know to what denomination such missionaries belong In ordr that no injustice be done to innocent partiffc." In his letter Colonel Hay ay: "Many worthy and estimable men have written to the department in regard to the matter of settling the problems. No communications of this nature have ben received from the great mission bord or their authorized representatives. Individual letters have been addressed to me by missionaries, active or retired, honestly .und sincerely expressing their personal sentiments, to which the President and I attach weight because the writers appear to have a useful knowledge of China and its people, so that no indication of this kind based upon knowledge or belief is passed over. These communications, like those we receive from more or less wellinformed laymen and like the utterances of popular sentiment in the press and the conclusions of the representatives of the powers at Peking, give widely various opinions as to the degree of reparation and punishment which may be deemed effective ana deterrent forhe future.
