"The Rogers Brothers la Central Park." at English's Opera lloase. livery seat In English's Opera Houso was sold out hours before the rise of the curtain last evening on John J. McNally's latest vaudeville farce entitled "The Rogers Brothers in Central Park." If the management could have adopted the method used In a local church recently of placing chairs in the aisles the hundred cr more people who. Were forced to stand in the rear of the house might have had seats. As it was, however, many had to be turned away. So far as one could detect, there was not the slightest abatement last night of the enmusiasm with which the comical German comedians, Gus and Max Rogers, were received at their visit a year ago. Nevertheless this latest vehicle of these men is not to be compared with the one they had last season. Nor is their company, In point of principals, nearly as strong. The doubter of this statement is cited to the fact that John Sparks, -.toss Snow. John Parr, Maude Raymond, Georgia Cainc and Ada Lewis are all absent from the present production. As to the makeup of the piece, no one would pretend that Jeannette liageard's "Duchess of Central Park" is equal to her "Eelle of Murray Hill." The burlesqua opera, "Licorice Llze" and "Three Cops," some of the big hits of th? Rogers brothers last season, have no worthy successors. Other features which one recalls with feelings of regret are Georgia Calne's "Gay Georgette," Ada Lewis's "Rusy Liz." Miss Calne's "Walks and Talks" and Maude Raymond's coon songs. An attempt has been made to duplicate the tremendous hit scored by "An Innocent Young Maid" last season by evolving "When Reuben Comes to Town." a lyric with almost the same air, with only partial success, however. Ry dint of repeated playing of the new tune, Mr. Levi, the accomplished and graceful orchestra leader, succeeded in training tne gallery denizens so that they could distinguish between the two. Another fault that was found with lasi night's performance was that Lee Harrison, an excellent comedian, who has during the present season been making a hit in other cities with his funny stories, was kept down in Indianapolis to a fow brief flits across the stage and almost as few lines as are intrusted to a "carriage waits, my lord," actor in the legitimate. In spite of these objections, however. the performance teemed to meet the hearty approval of the audience, which was in a mood to be amused. The Hogers brothers perhaps pave more of the:r humorous payings and parodies than last season, and thus hypnotized thtlr audience Into thinking the entire production quite as good. Then tnero was the chorus of beautiful young women attired more gorgeously than ever, and the richest scenic surroundings any stars, whether of comic opera or musical comedy, which this piece really is, ever had. The Central Park and Waldorf-Astoria roof garden views were applauded for their great beauty. Interest was felt in the appearance of Isadore Rush in her new roie of leading woman in light and frivolous musical comedy after her many seasons of legitimate acting. She makes little pretense of being able to sing, which is just as well, nevertheless Miss Rush is just unaccustomed enough to this sort of work to be interesting iler topical song "If Cabby ToM Hal? That He Knew" was well received,, as also the song "A Bottle and a IMrd." Next to the Rogers brothers, the greatest applause was showered tpon Johnny Pago and Emma Francis In their .pxoalty "J It Yes or la U .or which included some unusually clever dancing and acrobat!? work. Grace Freeman was warmly encored for her singing "Sally" wit the fu!l chorus. Other enjoyable features were the xons "Lina. My Lady," "Rarnacle Jlj and Binnacle Tim," and "Run, Rruddcr Poum. Run." all by the Rogers brother, and Will West's inimitable coster songs. "Isn't It a Pity?" and "If the Law Allowed It." The Amazon drill accompanying the song, "Tho Rrave IIus.ur," was , brilllan'.ly executed. The opening choruses and hnrdes were, for

the most part, delightful. As usual, the principal comedians had a unique mode of making their entry this time being dumped on to the stage by the opening of a folding bed, which also played a part later. They rode Into Central Park in a miniature carriage drawn by two spirited goats. A still further touch of realism was Isadore Rush's " appearance in a handsome Victoria drawn by a well-groomed horse.

Good Vaudeville nt the Grand. The vaudeville programme provided at the Grand Opera House this week must be of great merit, since it pleased a large audience at the opening performance yesterday afternoon, in spite of the heavy handicaps due to poor stage direction. The Newsky troupo of Russian singers and dancers did not arrive until too late to give their act. The management gave out the statement that these people were snowbound on their way to Indianapolis. Tho urusual character of their act, which calls for Russian music, makes an orchestral rehearsal Imperative. The act was received with enthusiasm last night and will doubtless continue one of the strong drawing cards throughout the week. Severus fcchaffer gives a Juggling and equilibria! act that is truly marvelous, but the fact that many of his feats have been given by Kara and others hinders appreciation of Mr. Schaffer's performance. He Introduces a number of feats that are absolutely new here and there is a general smoothness atout his work that makes the effect delightful. He does several clever tricki with a heavy cannon ball. Will M. Cressy and Blanche Dayne, In their little comedy entitled "Grasping an Opportunity," do some acting that it would be a mlsfortuno for any lover of genuine entertainment to miss. The lines and "business" of the P'ece f.re at times positively brilliant. Jack Norworth. The Jailbird Coon," has a n-.onol gue. Interspersed between several very funny songs, that Is one of the best things of Its kind heard here this season. Mr. Norworth is really one of the chief attractions of the bill. So also Is Miss Bertie Fowler, modestly billed as "mimic." Mis Fowler 'quite duplicated yesterday afternoon her cordial reception in "Hotel Topsy Turvy" two seasons ago. She has grown considerably since that time and Is a much better looking woman. Weston and Herbert are a team of clever instrumentalists, who draw melody from various articles of furniture apparently. The act of Johnson and Davenport suffers greatly on account of the ioss of Mr. Lorello. who was called East by the death of his sister. The two that remain do some excellent comedy and acrobatic work. Louise Dresser should take her pickaninnies some place and have their voices "filed," as they say In vaudeville. The youngsters sing with entirely too much strength to give a pleasing effect. Mlfs Dresser is a handsome woman, wears elegant gowns, and the setting of her act Is a beautiful reproduction of a Southern ralmetto grove, but nevertheless it is a disappointment. The comlgraph, a variation of the familiar moving picture machine, is showing several vlew3 that surpass anything of the kind ever seen hero These are the views along an English railway, panorama of the Paris Exposltiori and "shooting the rapids in the Klondike " Hello Ulli" nt the Park. "Hello Bill," a new farce ascribed to the authorship of Willis Maxwell Goodhue, made Its first appearance at the Park Theater yesterday and was received with the enthusiasm which patrons of that house understand so -well how to bestow upon attractions that are greatly to their liking. The piece, as indicated in the advance notices, deals with the familiar subject of mistaken identity, but in a fresh, infectious style that puts it far beyond the suspicion of staleness. The action all takes place In the lounging room of Mrs. Dare's cottage at Seaside. N. J., that is to say. the action which is visible to the audience. Several very funny incidents transpiring elsewhere are related in a clever and Interesting manner. H. D. Blakemore, w..o plays the part of Mr. William Fuller, masquerading as General William Fuller, is one of the best comedians that has been seen here In a long time at popular prices. Charles Swickard, who has succeeded George Macomber in the part of the real General Fuller, Is a close second for Mr. Macomber. Both of the men contrive to work the fun-making possibilities of the lines and situations to the limit. Aubrey Noyes is an excellent Christopher Cutting. Frederick Lauder makes a good Impression by his Impersonation of Ned Hemingway, one of the young men who loves Dorothy. Richard Qullter as Dr. Elisha P. Hastings betrays an unfamiliar ity with his lines that mars his work. Miss Carolyn Lee has tho part of Matilda, who thinks she Is Mr. General Fuller, and, although not on the stage very long, manages to create a great deal of merriment. Emily Lascelles portrays Harriet Sterling, a next-door neighbor, with pleasing effect. Eugenia Bowen impersonates Dorothy Dare, whose love affairs cause much of the trouble, and makes a decided hit. Ola Humphrey plays the part of Isabella, a young widow with a charming stepdaughter, with a fair show of talent. In fact, most of the members of the company are capable. "Hello BUI" will be repeated at both matinee and night performance to-day and to-morrow, giving way Thursday afternoon to "Through the Breakers," one of last season's favorites. Good Show at the Empire. An annual treat for the patrons of the Empire Theater Is the engagement of Pat Rellly's vaudeville troupe, which opened yesterday at that house for three days. It Is much to be regretted that an organization of this kind could not have been secured for a longer run. The large crowd which greeted the opening performance gave evidences of Its appreciation of all that is done by the company. The show cannot be classed in the regular burlesque line, for those time-worn features have been eliminated by Mr. Reilly, and he has built up an organization v worthy of presentation at higher pricehouses. For the opening number the audience is given a lively singing and dancing act by the Three Sisters Paris, who execute with much skill various movements In their dancing novelties. The Inimitable Pat Reilly follows with his old-time crayon sketching, which always pleases. This year he has added to his repertoire the alleged likeness of Mrs. .Carrie Nation, which was enjoyed. "Sapho and Lula," a comedy sketch mixed with a little of everything to make It lively. Is portrayed by Misses Laura Bennett and Sallle Sterabler. Miss Stembler has the more work to do, and acquits herself creditably. The Younv; brothers seem to baffle nature's laws with their hoop-rolling act. Junie McCree, assisted by Misses Iza Miller as an adventuress and Lula Hahn as the servant and Randolph Murray as a rejected husband, gave an entirely new act here. He assumes the character of a "dope fiend." and in his monologue recites some of the cleverest bljs of street talk ever heard on any stage. In it he uses all the slang phrases In vogue, tanny Fields, in her German character work. Is lively and funny. The Four Emperors of Music have been seen here before and are as good as ever. Keno. Welch and Melrose, acrobatic comedy trio, are clever In their work. The performance concludes wikii a dance of all nations. This is prefaced by a street conversation act taken from "The Artful Dodger." and Pat Reilly and Junie McCree play the parts. .Notes of the StaCe. Roland Reed Is reported to have suffered another relapse at his home in New York last week and to In a very bad way again. XXX E. J. Morgan is to bo sent out by the Lieblers at the head of one of their "Christian" companies shortly and given all possible prominence in the role of John Storm. XXX A musical event of interest is the concert to be given by the Philharmonic string quartet In the Propylaeum to-morrow night. The quartet will be ably assisted by Mr. Zumpfe, who is skilled in playing the viola, an.1 Miss Inez Taylor, the well-known soprano. XXX "Through the Breakers." the melodrama that Is to occupy the stage of the Park Theater the latter part of the current week, beginning Thursday afternoon, is provided with an exceptionally rtne scenic mounting, as will readily be recalled by all who saw the production last season. XXX All the world loves a good minstrel show, and that Is Just what William H. West's Rig Minstrel Jubilee, coming to English's for a single performance to-night. Is claimed to oe. 'ine sale of seats for this engagement indicates that Mr. West hU lost none of his old-time popularity with me lucax ineaiergoing puuilc. XXX F. C. Whitney Is reported to have set Stanislas Stange at work dramatizing the Nick Carter novels. He la said to have provided Mr. Stange with slxtv-elht com. plete novels by the celebrated "author-detective" and about live hundred short

stories relating to the adventures of this hero of the youth of America. Over two hundred people will, it is asserted, have part in the production on the stage. xxx Wilton Lackaye's frierids are said, to be poking a good deal of fun at him because he has accepted an offer from William A. Brady to create the role of Uncle Tom in Brady's forthcoming elaborate soectacdlar revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Mr. Lackaye insists that he does not lower his dignity one whit by appearing in a play in which John Gilbert played Tom and Joseph Jefferson Impersonated Gumption Cute at the Chestnut-street Theater, Philadelphia, in 1352. ! XXX The romantic, swashbuckling drama, made from a novel that has sold to the extent of a hundred thousand copies or more, is Just what tho amusement-loving public of to-day seems to want. James K. Hackett has a play of this kind that certainly ought to satisfy the people. It has been adapted with much cleverness by Abbey Sage Richardson and Grace Livingstone Furniss from Agnes and Edgerton Castle's fascinating romance, "The Pride of Jennico." Mr. Hackett Is said to be delightful In the role of Basil Jennico, while the critics have .exhausted their vocabulaler in vain to describe Miss Galland's charm as the Princess Ottilie. The engagement is for Friday and Saturday of the current week at English's Opera House. xxx Hibernians and associated feminine orders by Manager Bostock, of the local Zoo, comes to an end to-night. The attendance ytsterday, which was the first, was excellent and the programme proved highly enjoyable. Features that are to be seen at the Zoo this week are: Captain Bonavita and his twenty lions in new tricks; Boyker and his pyramid bears and hybrids; Baby Stella in her pretty act "A Bird in a Gilded Cage;" "Doc," the performing baby elephant; Blake's dog and monkey circus; Lorenzo In his thrillinir "lion hunt." and

Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Morlan, the fa-"i rr.cus tat people. xxx There Is reason to believe that when Mme. Sembrich and her grand opera company give Donizetti's tuneful opera, "Don rasquale," at English's, next Monday night, they will be. greeted by. a large audience. The advance sale of seats began at D. H, Baldwin & Co.'s yesterday, with a good demand, although there are plenty of good seats left In every part of the theater. This will be the only performance of grand opera in Indianapolis this season, and musical people are. apparently, noC unmindful of that fact. Mme. Sembrich is the greattst singing artist now before th3 pubiic, and there are several European celebrities in her company. Donizetti's opera, which has been received with enthusiasm in Eastern cities, has not been heard In Indianapo'is for a quarter of a century.'

It was nearly 4 o'clock this afternoon when the Jury was completed, theie being six of the regular panel, four of the special venire and two "pick-ups."

FLOWS SEVEN THOUSAND BARRELS. Huge Oil Well Creates n. Furore In Blackford County. Ei-ecial to th Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Feb. 11. An oil well that approaches the famous gusher drilled recently at Beaumont, Tex., was struck in the Blackford oil field this forer.oon. The unexpected and tremendous output is not yet under control, and five acre.3 of land surrounding the producer are Invndated with tho crude oil. The well is located on the Joseph Bird farm, in Washington township, six miles northwest of Hartford City. The well, after being shot, commence! to flow In a solid stream from a six and one-half-lnch casing and has kept up the gait ever since. It is surrounded by muck land, into which the oil sinks rapidly. The well was started by the Manhattan Oil Company, but in the sale of the company's products and territory to the Standard it was transferred to the trust. James Curtin, the contractor of the well, and Earl Ross, who drilled It. were here to-night. Both say that its output will exceed 7,000 barrels dally. They say the well is a crevice freak and that the output cannot be maintained any great length of time. The wildest excitement prevails in oil circles. At the present output the well is earning $6,020 a day, and is many times more valuable than the Texas well, for the reason that It can be refined and Is devoid of sediment or water. Tank builders are at work to-night erecting tanks to care for the flow. WEXT IXTO THE DITCH. Train Wrecked nt AVren, O., and the Fireman Instantly Killed. Special to tba Indianapolis Journal.

British Home Office II n Taken No Ac tion Regarding Alleged Pardon. LONDON, Feb. 11. The ofilclals of the Home Office say there is no foundation whatever for the report that Mrs. Florenco Maybrick has been pardoned. An official of the United States embassy said: "It did not need the Home Office denial to prove the absolute baselessness of the Maybrick story. We will be the first to be notified of any such action or proposed action by the British government. Not a single fact has arisen to give the slightest Justification of the story or to make the release of Mrs. Maybrick more probable than heretofore." An official of the Home Office said the pardoning story was on a par with the re cent epidemic of "fakes" published In the United States, among them being the state ments that King Edward is suffering from cancer, that there was friction between Lord Salisbury and King Edward and that Gen. Sir Evelyn Wrood was going to South Africa as a peace commissioner, etc. The Maybrick report was circulated freely here Sunday morning, and Mr. Choate, the United States ambassador, told its authors last night that It was untrue. But this evidently had no weight with them, and when it was published nothing remained until the Home Office made up its mind to break through tradition and give the quietus to this utterly baseless report.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) making, for his prodigal tastes and fast life made him eager to lend an ear to any ambassador whose government was inclined to offer him an opportunity for continuing his extravagant habits. Even after his abdication it was Impossible for him to remain quiet, and whenever his funds were low the diplomats of Europe and tho governmentof Servia were on the lookout for fresh trouble. His last attempt at the throne was In 1Ü97, and the discovery of therlct by which he hoped to be appointed Regent for his son Alexander, to whom he had been forced to resign the throne, resulted in his being prohibited to reside in the little kingdom. His confederate In tho last attempt was the court doctor of Alexander, named lowanowltch. Milan In duced the physician to draw up an account of the King's health and to announce to the people that he had become Insane. By these means Milan had hoped to make a coup d'etat. Milan was at odds with his wife, Natalie, one of the most beautiful members of European royalty. In the year 1SS7 the fcrmer sovereign insisted on his spouse lfaving Belgrade, and on her return to the capital in 1SSS he Instituted a process for divorce, giving as his reason "irreconcilable mutual antipathy." The Radlcil and Liberal parties opposed the divorce, and even the King's party, the Progressionists, was divided in opinion. Tne dlvcrce was finally obtained. After the abdication of the King his son rffeeted a reconciliation, but later on the King again quarreled with his wife, and threatened to institute divorce proceedings. He w.? dissuaded from this action, out he and Queen Natalie were never un!t;J again. HIS PROFLIGACY. Many Interesting stories are told of Milan's profligacy. He was classed as the greatest spendthrift In Europe. He Is said to have owed 10,000,000 francs when he was compelled to resign the throne of Servia In favor of his son, and he Is alleged to have borrowed cash from everybody within his reach while selling crosses and stars to anybody willing to purchase them. The palace at Belgrade, under King Milan, was looked upon as being nothing more than a gamblers' resort. The KJnyr, upon one occasion, imported a wnole troop Of burlesquers to the palace, and kept them there in festive style for a period, and upon another occasion .he I.- a'.leed to have similarly entertained the chorua of a Vienna opera company. Jlto wife. Queen Natalie, had put up with a great deal, but the advent of the Vienna chorus girls was more than even this long-suffering woman could endure, and -she cre:ufd so much trouble that his Majcrty eventually caused her; to be expelled from Salvia, which action on his part had a great deal to do with bringing about his owi forced abdication, for which he was paid a very large sum of money, and promptly proceeded to Paris, Nice and London, where he gambled and enjoyed hlras2li to the utmost limit. In Paris the dlsreuptable ex-King was expelled from a club for cheating at card, and he made himself more notorious by lavishing his money upon a dancer who was well known to the gay world of all the capitals of Europe. But when Milan's money was gone his course of dissipation received a check, and in his efforts to raise further funds he threatened to return to Servi:t. The mere suggestion raised, such a storm at Belgrade that King Alexander was compelled to raise a sum of money sufficient to bribe his father to t tay away from Servia. By similar means the ex-King succeeded in raising large sums in other quarters, and by such practices he succeeded In enjoying life in his peculiar way. When he Inherited the fortune of the late Baron Balch it was Intimated that the former King would surely enter upon another period of extravagance and dissipation, but he was more careful of his means than fo--merly and probably died with money to his credit. King Alexander of Servia was born Aug. 14, 176; was proclaimed King by his father on the latter's abdication, March 6. l&tf. the country remaining under a regency until Alexander should attain his majoritjeighteen years of age. But on April 13. lhtt. when he was seventeen years old. Alexander took the royal authority into his own hands, if reports are to be believed, Alexander is a worthy son of Milan. - " - II EMI V J.
