Pauline Han and Hilda Thomas at the Grand. Pauline Hall and Hilda Thomas are the stars of a great vaudeville bill at the Grand Opera House this week. Each of these artists In her way deserves the praise accorded the principal attraction of a performance. Miss Hall, who "was very recently a comic opera prima donna. Is still a handsome and attractive woman despite her twenty years on the stage. Her voice Is very nearly as strong, clear and melodious as ever. Her entry yesterday after roon was accompanied by an outburst of applause which drowned out the first few bars of the operatic air she was singing:. Miss Hall sang four numbers, and the encores Increased in volume until the sing er was forced to give her perennial favorite, the lullaby from "Ermlnle," when the uproar became fairly deafening. A vigorous effort to persuade her to sing more was made, but the singer could do nothing but smile her acknowledgment of the cordial greeting extended to her. Miss Hall makes several rapid changes of costume, each of which is rich. Hilda Thomas, who scored quite as great & triumph as Pauline Hall, is an entertainer of an altcg;.her different type. Mi3s Thomas has an excellent singing voice, and in addition is a comedienne of consummate ability. She impersonates a German servaru girl in sucli a way as to keep an audience in constant merriment, then leaves tho stage & few seconds and returns a butterfly of fashion with raiment of the most gorgeous sort. Her take-off on society is cne of the most delightful bits of burlesque imaginable and Is done vlth such rare good nature that the victims themselves laugn as hear-.ily as anybody else. Miss Thomas Is assisted by Lou Hall, a young man who could doubtless display much ability if he were associated with a iess versatile young woman. Another excellent act is that of Frank Gardner and Lottie Vincent. Gardner is an admirable eccentric acrobulc comedian and dancer and has a good voice, which appears to advantage in duets with Mls-s Vincent. Tho latter is an operatic soprano of great ability and sings with calcium light effects. Apollo's feats on the hih wire are marked by grace rather than novelty, but the act is an excellent one with which to introluce a bill. De Witt and Burns are a pair of expert acrobats ana equiiionsts, but make the common mistake of trying to be funnv. 'The Har mony Four" is a mild way of designating a. quanri 01 sucn cievcr singers, dancers, instrumentalists and comedians as that made up of James Draohman. F. M. Barrett, T. C. Bereson and lid ward Hughes. Their sketch, which sees under the title of "At the Way Station." is full of life, lun and enjovrr.nt. Professor Prelle, a foreigner, lntr.xiuces a troupe of the best trained dogs that hav Wen seen here yet. Tho professor himself is a ventriloquist und employs his talent cleverly to simulate the effect of animals ta!J;h The canines are rone of ihrr. drers- like huiran beings and other are transformed into tplcnild imitations cf rnldset ponies The matinees thl week will doubtless draw an unprecedented number of juveniles. Thoe that w(re in yesterday's matinee audience shouted thetr approval tf Prelle's wonderful dogs. Tho long pro-ramme, which fs wlsoly fcroken by an intermission, comes to a pleasing conclusion with the kinodrome showing a nef set of pictures. The views of the Galveston disaster, are very Interesting, md th machin Is manipulated s) that there H littlo of ihe -flicker" about the pictures. Donnelll and Stahl at the Park. "An American Gentleman" is the title of a well-constructed melodrama that was presented for the flrst time in Indianapolis at the Fark Theater yesterday afternoon. William Bonnelll, a young actor of atheletlc build, and Iloso Stahl, a capable and attractive actress, are Marring jointly in the piece. The theater was well filled and the audience demonstrate! its approval of the rlever acting and the strong climaxes by giving vent to applause of a warmth thit has seldom been noted at the park thl-stas-on. The company, with a few exceptions, is of a high standard of excellence George Mitchell as Denis and IMith Kingley as Polly, the singing maid, upply most Of the comedy, which Is enjoyable. Thoy both have pleasing voices, which are heard In several t.ny. The first act concludes in a thrilling manner with a murder takin" pUce in tho lUthiwuy villa and visible tZ

the audience by means of the shadows cast upon a window blind. The setting of this act Is handsome. The scenery shown in the second act Is the richest of the entire production, being a beautiful woodlanJ view, with a gypsy camp In the foreground. "William Bonnelll scored a distinct triumph by his work in the role of George Hathaway. Jr., known as "the Sampson of Yale. In the second act occurred a wrestling bout and other exhibitions of strength and skill, participated In by the gypsy Zeppo (Samuel Claggett) and young Hathaway (Bonnelll) that aroused enthusiasm among the audience. The men were contending for a human prize. Carina, "the Golden Gypsy." a character that was effectively portrayed by Miss Stahl. Helen Ware. In the part yf Florence Carleton. an adventuress, did fine acting and won recognition in spite o. the repellance of her role. "An American Gentleman" will run until to-morrow nlpht. giving place Thursday afternoon to "A Hide for Life." The Bohemian ünrlessquer. Since becoming a star, Blllle B. Van, chief comedian of the Bohemian Burlesquers which began a three-days' engagement yesterday afternoon at the Empire Theater, has ceased to a great extent, trt nroduce the comedy which he did in pre

vious visits to this city. In past seasons when he was accompanied by his wife, Vevle Nobriga, they always put a great amount of "ginger" into their acts which kept the house in an uproar while they were on the stage. Van is surrounded with a good strong chorus this season which he utilizes, especially In the last burlesque where some good singing is done. The same chorus does a nice cake-walk scene in the opening burlesque, but that Is marred by the continual screaming of the members who might have made a greater hit if they had spent the time in singing. The opening burletta "The Jayvllle Sanitarium," is the same as produced here before, but the work of Mr. Gardner, who takes the place of Billie Van, does not come up to that previously done by Van. The part of Lena now being played by Mae Hihard is done creditably. Bobble North is also with the show but does not appear at his best, which is an interpretation of a Jewish character. In the olio Fred Wycoff recites a number of jokes which have preceded him. The three Lane Sisters have a neat singing and dancing act. Johnson & Hillard arc best in their Bowery act. The three Gardners are funny In their musical turn. The Casino Comedy Four is made up of three men, two of whom do the singing. In the last burlesque "A Scrambled Egg." Billie Van is guilty of the worst lot of suggestiveness that has been heard at this theater this season. The Zoo's Attractions. The Zoo entered on a new week yesterday with audiences of encouraging size. The strong programme of last week has been retained, with the addition of Schultz's performing Great Dane dogs, vhlch are claimed to be from Prince Bismarck's famous kennels. "Whatever their birthplace, the are undoubtedly welltrained animals. The group of Cingalese dancers are still prime favorites with Zoo patrons. These curious people give a performance that is both pleasing and interesting. The guessing contest to determine the exact proportion of men and women in the group 1 i3 attracting much attention. Farmer Jones and his educated pigs constitute an attractive number on the long programme. Captain Bonavita's exhibition of twenty forest-bred lions in a variety of tableux and thrilling feats continues to hold the palm as the best attraction yet offered by Manager Bostock. Pretty souvenirs of Bonavita's lions are being given away at the door each day. "Hard to Ride," the bucking bear, creates no end of amusement among the old folks and juveniles alike. The daily attendance is gieatly augmented by visitors from thi relegates to the mine workers' conven tlcn now being held in this city. Great Intel est is being taken in the labor benefit Friday, which promises to be one of the events of the Zoo season. Notes of the Stage. John II.

The divorce evil seems to prow with every year. 7,500 divorces were granted in the State of Ohio last year. We agree that there are faults on both s'des, bet the great problem is : Are those faults remediable? To a gTeat extent there is no doubt the conditions which result in divorce mar be remedied. Given a dyspeptic husband and a wife suffering from female trouble and we have the ready made elements of a divorce case. In view of the facts there can be very little doubt that many women look forward to divorce only because they seek relief from obligations they do not feel fitted to fulfill. Women are not to blame. They have looked forward to their borne life as a dream of paradise. Then disease comes like a serpent and destroys all happiness. Women who suffer with debilitating drains, inflammation, ulceration, female trouble and bearing down pains, will find certain relief and cure in Doctor Pierce's Favorite Prescription. It so inviiorates the organs peculiarly feminine and regnlates their functions that they are established in a perfectly healthy conditio.
