AMUSEMENTS. j 'John Drevr and Ida Conquest in "IUchard CarTel" at English'. John Drew, supported by Miss Ida Conquest and a strong company, presented at ' English's Opera House last night "Richard Carvel." a play that, despite Its magnificent and Imposing production, is yet of very mediocre quality. The theater scarce sufficed to contain all the representatives of the fashion, wealth and culture of Indianapolis that came out to see this dramatization of a novel that has been enjoying considerable popularity. One year ago, or thereabouts, Mr. Drew, supported by only a half-dozen of the best actors on the stage, presented in the same playhouse The Tyranny of Tears," one of the most charming plays seen here or elsewhere In year to a small audience. A local minister saplently observed not long ago thai this is a commercial age, and that people are much given to running after and admiring bulk rather than quality. The case In point seems to bear out the truth of his declaration. There are many bright spots In the play, "Richard Carvel." and these were eagerly noted and appreciated by occupants of the balcony and first - floor last night. The greater part of the applause, however, which was at times deafening, came too palpably front the gallery. Worshipers at the shrine of "art for art's sake" who carried In their minds vivid recollections of the delightful Haddon Chambers play of last season must have sympathized deeply with Mr. Drew when he was literally forced to come to the footlights and make a speech at the command of the gallery, expressed by cheers and cat-calls. In this play John Drew, the society actor par excellence, the actor of consummate grace and polish. Is for the nonce converted Into a dashing, swaggering, roistering, rough-spoken melodramatic hero of revolutionary days. The scene which evoked the greatest amount of applause was one in which Richard Carvel fought his way to air and liberty through a roomful of Tories amidst an uproar that was deafening and a flashing of swords that was blinding. It was a picturesque scene, a clever grouping. & beautiful tableau, but one questions whether this sort of stuff would draw great crowds If it were not backed up by the prestige of a novel that has passed its hundredth thousand. Mr. Drew's artistic genius has. it Is pleasant to record, not been altogether eclipsed by the dazzling: glare of. f A. M .. - . eis meioaramauc surroundings . in the ' first act. with its Ideally beautiful scenic environment, he made love to Dorothy ; Manners with all the refinement and grace of a real gentleman. Again In the final r cene. which took place In picturesque Carvel Hall, he becomes his old self again, after he had escaped from the nn.'shes of .the plot to ruin him, and wooed and won tne woman or hi choice, giving the piece a delicately beautiful finale that saved it from being little more than a bad memory. Miss Conquest's natural beauty and winfomeness are helshtened by the old-fashioned but none the les rich and elegant co?ti:mfS she wears In the character of Dorothy Manners. The fault that he U not as phasing in the role of Dorothy as the was in t!at of the secretary In "The Tyranny of Tears" lies with the character, rot with herself. Carolyn White, an equally pretty and charming younsr woman. Imi-' uii m- many opportunities offered by the part of Tatty Bwain. Mrs. W. G. Jfiifcä'a appearances as Mrs. Manners

Of the men in Mr. Drew's support, Francis Powers, who Impersonated Horace Walpole, and George Le Soir, who portrayed Captain John Paul (Jones), stood out from the rest. Mr. Powers was particularly happy In his conception of Walpole, and his artistic acting won the approval it deserved. Arthur Bryon as Lord Comyn was forced to hold in repression the ability he Is well known to possess. As already Indicated, the play was handsomely staged. Robert Illlllard at the Grand. The undoubted piece de resistance of this week's.vaudeville programme at the Grand Opera House Is Robert Hilllard's clever adaptation of one of the celebrated Van Bibber stories entitled "The Littlest Girl," with Mr. Illlllard himself playing Van Bibber. Mr. Ulllard's reputation as an act or of great smoothness and ability had evidently preceded him, for the Grand was well filled at the opening performance yesterday afternoon. "The Littlest Girl" is one of those one-act plays that none but an accomplished actor dare to essay, since its power lies not In exciting incidents or stirring climaxes, but almost wholly in the proper rendition of the lines. Van Bibber, the man portrayed by Mr. Illlllard, was a society and club man who had a penchant for doing good In a quiet and unusual way. This time he decided to restore a tiny tot of a girl to her father who had sworn never to look on her face again because, forsooth, the little one's mother had not been all that her 'husband thought she ought to be. Van Bibber does this and his method Is admirably portrayed by the cleverness of the principal actor. Mr. Illlllard has the assistance of Edwin Holland, who delineates with tolerable ability the character of Carruthers, the child's father. Little Frances Glazier, an uncommonly pretty child, who has made a few stage appearances In this city before, took the part of "Little Alice, of the Lester Opera Company." Mr. Hilliard carries a full complement of handsome scenery and employs some ploturesque lighting effects in his production. A pleasant co.iirast to the quiet strength of this charming little play Is Josephine Gassman, the Jovial, boisterous "coon shouter," who furnisns twenty minutes of the liveliest kind of amusement with the assistance of three bright little pickaninnies who are comedians in embryo. Coakley and Huested open the bill with a pleasant, entirely harmless singing, dancing and comedy sketch, in which a well-trained black dog, although not mentioned on the programme, carrier off the honors with his amusing antics. O. G. Seymour gives a unique and clever exhibition of high Jumping In connection with a Chinese impersonation and a little dash of Instrumental music. The finale of his act, in which he sails up into the air and over a piano as lightly as a bird, brings a hearty encore. Miss Minnie Dupre is billed with Mr. Seymour. Nora Bayes, a contralto singer, does not create much of an Impression with her sentimental ballads, but she has a new "coon" song that makes a hit with an audience. Mr. and Mrs. Dan Iliatt have an act that is styled "An Operatic Rehearsal,", although there is little suggestion of opera about it. This Is the Weakest number on the bill and might well be spared. Prof. Wormwood, the celebrated trainer of dogs and monkeys, has been seen in Indianapolis before, but this time comes with an entirely new lot of cleverly-drilled animals which he puts through a series of evolutions, feats and tricks that combine with the surroundings to make a faithful reproduction in miniature of an old-fashioned circus. The kinodrome with new views brings the performance to a pleasing termination. Thursday matinee will be made special by the presentation to every woman in the audience of a good photograph of Mr. Hilliard. who Is somewhat noted as a "matinee Idol." "The Dairy Farm" at the Park. The engagement of Ja'mes II. Walllck's production of "The Dairy Farm" for an entire week at the Park Theater will be appreciated, for this production has played In other cities to overflowing audiences in the higher-priced theaters, and there is no good reason why the better class of theater-goers should not be found at the Park this week in large numbers. Miss Merron, author of the play, has selected the decade preceding the civil war as the time and "York State" as the place. The strength of the drama lies chiefly in the delightful fidelity of Its character drawing. A veritable host of quaint and interesting persons pass In pleasing review during the four acts of the play, and Manager James II. Wallick has brought all his years of experience in preparing big productions to beer upon making "The Dairy Farm" fully realize the author's ideas and purposes. Antiquarian dealers have evidently had their stocks of relics thoroughly overhauled to provide this piece with old-fashioned costumes, hats, shoes, farm wagons, plows, corn-cutters, mowers, sleighs, churns and other articles that In the aggregate make the production seem a succession of pictures of real life. There are a number of scenic and lighting effects that would be difficult to surpass. The most notable of these are the dairy farm in the first act, with its splendid daylight, sunset and twilight simulations; the realistic snowstorm, through which party of gay young folks dashes up In a- real sleigh, drawn by real horses, to 'Squire Hurley's kitchen door, and the street in the town of Hurley on the day before the election In November, 1S55. The latter la a veritable triumph of realism, showing a number of old-fashioned country stores, a street through which gallops the heroine on a genuine horse, and a red-hot political meeting in which Nathan Newkirk makes a telling speech "The Dairy Farm" call Into requisition the services of one of the largest companies that has visited the Park in many seasons. For the most part, the players are admirably adapted to their respective roles. Among those who make particular hits are Mac M. Barnes, who portrays 'Squire Hurley with delightful fidelity; Sarah Ward as Sarah Newklrk. John Milton as Nathan Newkirk, Grace Hopkins as Lucy, the orphan, Katharine Carlisle as Eunlco Jane Perkins, Theodore Rook as Simon Krum, the villain, Nellie Ilussell as Hanna Llze, Hilda Vernon as Mary, a freedwoman, William It. Walters as Bob, a runaway slave.

Harry Dunklnson as Jehu Sparmley. Tony West as Joel Whitbeck. and Blanche Carlisle as Aramlnta Whitbeck. The Park was crowded to the doors yesterday afternoon, and the audience was kept busy testifying Its approval of the production from the rise of the curtain to its linal fall.

The Mnjeatlc Harlcsquers. In Fred Irwin's Majestic Burlesquers, which began a week's engagement yesterday afternoon at the Empire Theater, he has gathered together a troupe far in the lead of similar organizations. It Is exceptional in that the large amount of singing done is by people who are endowed with good voices. The piece mlgut be classed as a musical comedy, notwithstanding that the comedy Is overshadowed by the work of the soloists and chorus. The opening number, "Down the Line," Is nicely staged, and the costuming of the chorus Is pretty. During mis piece a great deal of rough comedy 13 produced by Charles Whalen and Frank Otto, and in their illustrations of a "rough house" they execute some clever stage fighting. Flora Van Schaak renders a solo entitled "Ma Love, Ma Lou," which won for her a great amount of applause. She was assisted by the chorus and Percy Walling, a baritone. Several other good musical numbers were given, heightened by the execution of a number of terpslchorean movements by the company. Katherlne Irwin leads the olio in several songs. A "take off" on the "Girl with the Auburn Hair" by Katherlne Dahl was a neat piece of work. Her singing is very good, and she has a large chorus which adds to her act. James Mack and Ben Hammor.d, advertised as the "American two Macks," are lacking much In the originality that marked the comedy team bearing that title and seen here a few years ago. A quartet composed of Blanche Lester, Mamie Mitchell. Millie Valmore and Marie Revere havo a singing and dancing act. Whalen and Otto are two German comedians. The Martell family perform many astonishing feats on bicycles. Percy Walling, a baritone, renders several songs with the aid of the stereopticon. The show is brought to a close with another burlesque which is In keeping with the first, and in which much good singing Is heard. At the Zoo. The programme offered by tho Zoo this week is exceptionally strong. Captain Bonavlta with his twenty performing Hons is better than ever. M. Boyker with his bears, boarhounds and lions, Is a thrilling treat. The Yankee Doodle March by the monster grizzly bears Is a pretty but dangerous piece of work. "Doc," the baby elephant, is to be seen in the steel arena in tricks and burlesques that make every child a delighted visitor. "Big Frank." the boxing kangaroo, and his sparring partner, Prof. Jimmle Briggs, furnish a treat in the three rounds of fast, scientific fighting. Captain Sidney Hlnman and his aquatic novelty is a funny and instructive exhibition. To-morrow morning at It o'clock Captain Hlnman will give a special exhibition to the Marion County Medical Society and prominent physicians of the city. In his act he vividly Illustrates dangers of the ocean and the many modes of rescue. Yesterday afternoon the little tots of the Asylum for the Friendless Colored Children were the guests of Director General Rostock. - The matron i :companied them. This afternoon the inmates of the Indianapolis Orphan Asylum will be treated to a special exhibition. Last night the Zoo was turned over to the employes of the Indianapolis Chair Company. There are a number of benefits arranged for the - near future. The Ladies' Auxiliary to the Ancient Order of Hibernians will have a benefit Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 11 and 12. Wednesday, Feb. 13, the Zoo will belong to the News Boys Band. To-night will be Indianapolis Business University night. To-morrow night will be Atkins Saw Manufacturing Company's night. Thursday night will be Parry Manufacturing Company's night. "Mrs. Murphy" will make an ascension from the lot to the rear of the Zoo at 1 o'clock to-day. Kote of the Stave. "One Man of Stony Creek" Is the title of a new play by David Higgins, which will likely have a New York run in the spring. xxx The seat sale for the appearance of Gus and Max Rogers at English's Opera House next Monday night will open Thursday morning of this week. XXX The Girl from Maxim's," a very witty farce that requires a big cast for' its production, will be presented at English' Opera House Wednesday night, Feb. 20. XXX Manager Frank McKee will celebrate Mary Mannerlng's one hundredth performance of "Janice Meredith" the night cf Feb. 15 by distributing to all women attending the performance at Wrallack's Theater, New York, copies of Paul Leicester Ford's popular novel illustrated by twenty-four scenes from the play. XXX Jeremiah Curtln, translator of "Quo Vadis," says that Slenklewicz Is at work on a sequel to that Immensely popular historical novel. The new story will treat of the times of the Emperor Otho, one of the few brief-relgnlng emperors that followed Nero. A number of the characters In "Quo Vadls" will reappear In the sequel. xxx The great Sothern production of "Hamlet," which comes to English's Opera House to-night, Is so elaborate and massive that it Is necessary for the curtain to rise on the first act promptly at fifteen minutes before 8 o'oclock. Patrons of the house who come in at the time many are accustomed to entering the theater will find the performance well under way. XXX There are still a number, of good seats for the Theodore Thomaa Orchestra concert at English's Opera House to-morrow night to be had on application at the box office of the tneater. The indications are that Mr. Thomas will be greeted by tha largest audience he has ever entertained In this city. xxx Clyde Fitch's comedy, "Captain Jinks of the Horse Marines," with Miss Ethel Barrymoro in tho most important role, was given for tho first time at the Garrick Theater. New York, last night, and was well received by a large audience. Miss Barrymore had 'the assistance of a strong company. H. Reeves Smith, Edwin Stevens and Miss Whiffer shared the honors with the leading lady. xxx A new play was acted at the Lyceum, New York, last night, with Henry Miller in the leading role. It was from tho pen of Madeleine Lucette Ryley, and Is called "Richard Savage." The house was well filled and the audience gave evidence of its appreciation of the sentimental lines of the play. Mr. Miller was well supported and the production adequately staged. xxx Captain Sorcho's deep sea diving and novelty company gave two excellent performances yesterday afternoon at 2:15 and last night at 8:15 to audiences of complimentary size. Captain Sorcho's Interesting exhibition seems to appeal with peculiar strength to the women and children In his audiences. The entertainment is highly enjoyable -at night, when opportunity Is afforded of displaying some very clever lighting effects. The stage of the German House, on which Captain Sorcho's large tank is placed, is set to represent a beautiful marine view and the effec; of this is heightened by the changing lights. xxx "The Rogers Brothers in Wall Street," John J. McNalley's bright vaudeville farce written especially for Gus and Max Rogers, Is said to be the only money-making production that has been presented at Oscar Hammerstein's Victoria Theater, New York, this season. Mr. Hammerstein is reported to be restless under the arrangement made by him at the outset of tho present season, by which he practically relinquished the management of his two theaters, the Victoria and the Republic, to the syndicate. lie now says that next season he will put in attractions of his own choosing and that his Victoria Theater, shall be open to but one outside organisation, the Rogers brothers. Dr. F. P. Gillespie, who for many years lived near West Newton, and wa several months ago sentenced to the penitentiary from the United States court, suffered, yesterday at the Columbus, O.. prUon. a stroke of paralysis, from which it was thought he could not recorer.

SAFETY BOARD REPORT

thh annual statement filed WITH 3IAYOII TAG GART. Reports of Clerk Davis, Police Sargeon Christinn nnd Veterinarian Grelner Included. The Board of Safety filed its report for 1900 with Mayor Taggart yesterday. The report says that strict economy was employed In all departments during the year. Tho report further says: "The aggregate expenditures for the year, despite the addition of the South Side market, the increased use of coal and other added causes for expenditure, were 54,375.71 less than in the preceding year, and the board turned tack into the treasury $31.S4G.K) of the unexpended balances in the various funds appropriated for its use. As the expenditure of 1S99 was also held down to the minimum the showing for 1300 appears all the more favorable. "Of extraordinary expenditures In 1900 there was none, and the number of policemen and firemen employed varied very little from the number employed In 1S99. While the board In former reports has lnsistel and still Insists that for the good of the public service both forces should be en larged and many permanent improvements added, It must be acknowledged that an excellent record was made by each force during tho year. "The fire department also achieved good results, and although the number of alarms of fire, 1,032, was much greater than ever before and unusually large for a city of the size of Indianapolis, tho fire loss was kept down to a relatively small amount. A large number of fires , that occur are credited to the transition from the use of natural gas to coal, many of the flues having been allowed 10 become defective during the long period in which gas was the exclusive tuel In use. Another prolific cause for Arcs is the old one of overheated stoves cause! by not guarding against the Increased pressure of gas at night. In the great majority of the fires the promptness of the department and the1 effective work done by tha men prevented anything more than insignificant losses, but in a few instances where the fire gained considerable headway before an alarm was sent in the loss was quite heavy. FOR IMPROVEMENTS. "The board is pleased to note that the Common Council hasi made an appropriation for the permanent Improvements In the fire department recommended in the last annual report of the board, including a new fire alarm system, three new houses, two engines, an aerial " truck, two service trucks, three hose wagons and one combination ladder and chemical. When these contemplated improvements are made, it is believed the city will have one of the finest fire departments, in ; the country. The national convention of chief fire engineers will hold Its annual session In the city the first week in September, and it is hoped that the Indianapolis department will be put in shape by that time. "Attention is called to the recommendations of the superintendent of police for additional patrolmen and for the establishment of four', substations. ; The board hopes that some provision will be made this year for these substations, and also for a liberal increase in the size of the force. "The need of a suitable covering for the space east of the meat building in the down-town market Is apparent to everyone, and it is thought that the increase in rental receipts for stands that would come from the erection of a proper structure would more than pay the city a fair Interest on the expenditure that would be required, besides adding greatly to the convenience of the public and the comfort of the market people. The board notes an Increase in the last year in the revenue of the market. The Sauth'SIde market has, however, not prospered as well as it seemed It might when first started, there having been a decided falling off In patronage durifet,year In..order to Glance more evenly the expenditures and receipts of the ?Sfi' i,1 board has dispensed with the ln t!le .e charge of one man. v pL.h rTrch appointed George L Bedell as building inspector, and a deJot-S ? hl3 JIme 8lnce en 'has beeS ?hl ihot10 th enorcement of the law for whVh V??nX0t the sraoke nuisance. nut IChh9 lnKCe the Eas euPPy bsan to give out, has become a serious one.

$164,526.73 Clerk Davis also gave a list of the number of police and firemen tried before the board during the year. On Dec. 15, 1S99, the board made a wholesale decapitation ln the two departments. The report refers to the trials of the men and says there were five other cases of firemen before the board during the year and none of them resulted in the dismissal of the men from the force. There were ten appointments during the year, five resignation!?, three deaths and one retired on the pension fund. One resigned as captain and another captain was reduced to the ranks. Two members were accordingly promoted to captaincies. There are 171 men in the fire department. In addition to the policemen who were tried after being dismissed in December, 1S99, there were eight other trials. Three of them, charged with intoxication, were dismissed, and the others reprimanded and lined. There were twelve appointments and two men placed un the pension fund were returned tractive duty. There were six dlsmlss-ls, including two not confirmed as regular patrolmen. There was one death, thrte resignations, and nve retired from ".ctlve duty, leaving a decrease of one in the department, making the total 160 men. One patrolman was promoted to sergeant, one sergeant made a detective, two patrolmen promoted to the detective department, one detective deta'led as humane officer, and a clerk appointed for the detective department MINOR REPORTS. The report of William C. Christian, police and tire surgeon, also accompanied the report. Ho reported three deaths one detective, one fireman and one prisoner. He -

made 597 visits and held K3 office consultations. . . Louis A. Grelner, city veterinarian, also made his report, which accompanies the board's report. He is pleased with the good care taksn of city horses by the firemen and others who handle them. He says the city is badly In need of a hospital for sick horses, as the buildings used are crowded for stable room.' He says there are now ten horses In use that are worn out and ought to be replaced. ' A TRAIN SlTOW-BOUin).

Lake Erie Passenger Train Gets In Over Tvro Honrs Late. The first evidence of real winter, the kind that Interferes with commercial traffic and business, was seen at the Union Station last night, when the passenger train over the Lake Erie & Western was pulled Into the sheds by a switch engine. The train was due at 4:13 yesterday afternoon, but did not arrive until 6:43. The cause of tho delay was a snow blockade at Plymouth, the first of the season. The snow In tho northern part of the State Is drifting, and the train was literally snow-bound. The engine, when it reached the city, was a mass of snow. Every crevice of its mechanism was tightly packed, the wheels were clogged and appearances Indicated that the iron steed had had a desperate encounter with snow drifts of no small size and solidity. When the train reached the city the passenger engine was taken off and run Into tho yards to be cleaned before starting- on another journey, while a switch engine pulled the train into tho station. ON THE EVE OF EASTER MR. nOXIIAM PROPOSES TO CALL DOWN EXECRATIONS OF W03IEX. He Has n Dill Making It Unlawful for Women to Wear Hats in Church or Theater. Representative Donham probably will Intioduco a bill in the House to-day that will make him the most unpopular man In Indiana. It Is a bill to compel women to remove their hats when in church. Mr. Bonham insists that the measure will meet with the approval of most women, notwithstanding the warning of his friends. The representative from: Hartford City Is quite 6erious in his intentions, and said last night that he probably would have it ready to-day. The bill will require all persons to remove their hats during exercises at all public gatherings, including churches and theaters. "I think It will bo a good bill," said Mr. Bonham, "and most of the women I have talked to about it have told me to go ahead. It seems to me that nothing could be more provoking than to sit behind a woman wearing a big hat at church or to sit behind a $10 hat at the theater. My bill will provide a small penalty for failure to remove the hat after a request has been made. The penalty will be a fine not to exceed $10. I realize just what I am doing ln this matter, for I havo thought it carefully out. I appreciate the fact that Easter is coming and that that Is the time when women want to display handsome millinery, but I believe that the ladies will have a proper appreciation of the law if this bill is successful and will be willing to remove their headgear on all occasions where it Is likely to obstruct the view. I figure that most women when they go to church I refer, of course, to those who delight In attractive millinery take plenty of time to size up the situation before being led to a seat. I realize that one of the proud moments In a woman's life Is tho time when she can step into the church or the theater or some other public gathering and say to herself that her millinery Is as good if not superior to her neighbor's. So I believe she has plenty of time while being seated to show off her hat, and she ought then to be willing to make a little sacrifice for the people who sit behind her." Representative Bonham also has tome cigarette legislation up his sleeve. He Is preparing a bill that is likely to be very unpopular with cigarette smokers. The bill will prevent cigarettes being made or sold in the State, will prevent them being Imported Into the State for purpose of sale and will prevent the sale of either the tobacco or paper. It wiVl also make It unlawful for any one to be found smoking a cigarette in a public place. Mr. Bonham says that in preparing this bill he is proceeding on the theory that a man will have no more right to smoke a cigarette In a public place than he will to get drunk. If a man desires to become intoxicated he should stay within the confines of his own room! If ho wants to smoke a cigarette he should do that In his own room. "I think my bill will settle this cigarette question," said Mr. Bonham, last, night. "I propose to keep It away from the committee that has been postponing bills of this kind. I shall have it referred to a committee that will investigate tho bill and If I find that they are about to do away with it I will demand a hearing of tho question." PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. St Mary's Club will be entertained next Thursday by Miss Lena Hurrlc. Mr. and Mrs. Charles D. Johnson have taken apartments at the Charlemont. Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey L. Turner will leave next week for a trip to California. Mrs. Kate McMeans, of New Castle, Is visiting Mrs. Herbert Hadley, 2116 North Pennsylvania street. Miss Matson and Mrs. Over, of Greencastle, who have been visiting Mrs. Edwin Barton Pugh, have returned home.

The collection is one gathered by Lieutenant A. P. Niblack. of the United States navy, before the Chinese war, and is composed of pieces from the northern and southern parts of the empire. Each piece is perfect Jn its way, the needle work being exquisitely done. The designs -are varied, the symbols of prosperity, happiness and long life appearing frequently. It is very interesting to study the different pieces, as most of the decorative work and embroidery is symbolical. The coloring in the pieces Is very rich and artistic. In the collection there are three mandarin robes, that of a man. a woman and a child. The former Is made of brocade and the two latter of embroidered satin. They have the symbolic fire-clawed dragon done In elaborate embroidery. There are also two skirts for women, with embroidered panels, one an antique from Canton ln red, and supposed to have been a bridal skirt. As this denotes prosperity, the other, of white satin, the plaits defined with black ribbon, was doubtless a mourning garment. Among the smaller pieces are collars, long stripes used for decoration, and some squares of satin, ln the center of which Is a bird, a stork or a white heron, flying toward the sun disc, the use of the pieces being to indicate the military rank of the wearer.
