Hackett and Hertha Gnlland In 'The Pride of Jennico"." Jame3 K. Hackett, the eminent young romantic actor, and Miss Bertha GaUand, his beautiful and talented leading woman, scored brilliant personal triumphs at English's Opera House last night in "The Pride of Jennico," a powerful melodrama made from one of the moat popular books oi a year. The dramatization was made by Abby Sage Richardson and Grace Livingston Fumlss, and In many ways reflects credit upon Its authors. The first act, especially, with it3 gems of wit and charming naivete setting off the exquisite love etory as green leaves accentuate the beauty of a full-blown rose, is all that one could desire. Pity the remainder of the play could not have been of the same literary merit. But the popular craze for hoarse whispers, flashing swords, violent vows, fierce Iovemakings and the like must be satisfied. Last night's audience was large and fashionable, and It cheered the sensational climaxes to the echo, so the play must have been greatly to Its liking. Criticism 13 abashed in, presence of such unrestrained enthusiasm. It is doubtless quite natural that when thousands purchase and eagerly devour books of the order of "The Pride of Jennico." "Richard Carvel," and a host of others of the same ilk they will Hock in great numbers to see their muchadmired heroes and heroines live their abnormal lives on the stage. For life such as is portrayed in "The Pride of Jennico" is abnormal. A man of Basil Jennlco's noble lineage would never, in real life, have been deceived for an instant by Princess Ottilies weak subterfuge of passing herself off as her own maid in order to trick him into breaking an oath not to wed a woman beneath his staUon. A score of inconsistencies might be pointed out In the play, but to no good purpose. One might question whether a man could escape from so many and so grave perils as surrounded Basil Jennico, but on the stage he did escape, and so beautifully that It caused a shudder of delight to animate those who gazed. Mr. Hackett has lost none of his power to express the emotion of love so as to make it vividly real. His voice possesses all and possibly more of the potency to thrill that It had when ho playea the dual role of Rudolph Rassendyl and King Rudolph two years ago. He Is a handsome man, with the bearing and build that women rave over. Furthermore he is really an excellent actor. All these facts stood out above the Inferior quality of the play, so that his triumph was the more deserved. As the Princess Ottilie, Mis Galland wa3 simply delightful. She was beautiful, be witching, natural. She will be remembered by the Impression made In thl3 play when she shall reappear as a star at the head tf her own company In a new play next season, as Is promise 1. The company supporting Mr. Hackett and .diss Galland is one of geat merit. Arthur Hoops, as Sir John rieddoes; Thomas A. Hall, as Baron Von Krappltz; George W. Barbier, as Prince Eugen; Gertrude Rivers as Marie Ottilie Pahlen. the princess's maid, and Margaret llllngton, a3 Michel, a gypsy rirl, being particularly good. Mr. Hoops "had several opportunities to brighten the piece with light comedy, which he Improved cleverly. The play is richly staged.

Interesting Programme Mornlnc and Afternoon. The Indiana Engineering Society held the second session of its twenty-first annual meeting yesterday at the English Hotel. The morning programme was given up to the reading of papers on various subjects and that of the afternoon to papers relating to masonry work. The papers at the morn-tnt-spacinn were bv James H. Nelson, John Flnan. jr.. Prof. C. V. Seastone, Prof. R. L.( Sarkett and A. J. liammonu. curing uuj afternoon Victor K. Hendricks and Prof. W. V. Pence road papers on masonry construction and Prof. W. K. Ilatt and Prof. B. B. Newberry had papers regarding cement. Following A. J. Hammond's paper on "Stream Pollution" a committee consisting of Mr. Hammond, John Flnan, Jr., and C. G. H. Goss was appointed to confer with members of the Legislature relative to the passage of laws regarding the subject. The session to-day will close the convention. Several papers will be read, the leport of the executive committee received and adjournment will be taken after 'the election of officers. IT IS DOOMED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) gress the constitution under which they propose to operate and to the likelihood that this would create considerable discus sion, Mr. Teller said that, so far as he was concerned, he had made up his mind that the subsidy bill could not be passed. He believed that it was kept before the Senate for the purpose of pushing aside other business in order that there would be an excuse for an extra session to consider those subjects and. Incidentally, to pass the shipping bill. He said that the Spooner amendment to the army bill would require and would receive ample discussion and he believed that the Cuban question, too, would be Drought to the Senate s attention. "The ouestlon here." said he. "is whether we shall keep faith with Cuba and witn tne world. The Cuban question will be dis cussed at this session whether the constitu tion thev have framed shall come here or not. There is a sentiment growing up ana voiced by certain influences and by news papers of the country that we are to break faith with Cuba. I propose to take up tho resolution we adopted in the last Congress and show that it expressed the sentiment of the people and the executive or this government." Mr. Aldrlch. In a brief reply to Mr. Tel ler, said the latter must be aware that the chipping bill had not been used to delay consideration of any legislation. In the course of a somewhat tempestuous speech. Mr. Chandler pointedly criticised the opposition to the shipping bill, referring particularly to tne senator irom Colorado (Mr. Teller) and to the senator from South Dakota (Mr. Fettigrew). He declared that the position they had taken was "preposterous." Mr. Teller Interposed to say he had an nounced that a vote might be had on tho bill and had advised the opposition that such a course was desirable. Mr. Chandler retorted that if such advice had been given. It must have been in secret, but Mr. Teller Insisted that he had given it in open sesBlon and it was a matter of record. CHANDLER'S FABLE. Adverting to Mr. Teller's assertion that the bill could not be voted upon at the present session, Mr. Chandler said that the. senator from Colorado, after making the an nouncement in terms "with consummate ef frontery," had turned upon the senator fron Rhode Island (Mr. Aldrlch) and had de manded of him to withdraw the bill. The Incident reminded him of the fable in which the wolf charged the lamb in the stream below with muddying the water. Mr. Pettus How long has that lamb been a lamb? ILaughter.l In conclusion Mr. Chandler declared that the opposition to the subsidy bill was com' posed only of a conglomerate of various political parties, all of whom had different ideas. He insisted that the Senate and the country would realize thoroughly that their tactics were those of filibusters and nothing else. Mr." Hanna next addressed the Senate. He was given careful attention both by the senators on the floor and by the people in the crowded galleries. He said that he had listened attentively with astonishment to many of the statements that had been made concerning It by the opposition. He asserted that many of these comments could not be borne out by facts. Many state ments had been made, many Insinuations had been suggested that should bring the blush of shame to any senator s check. They were uncalled for and unwarranted. He had listened "to the scolding of the senator from Colorado," but he desired to remind him that senators were not children, and he desired him to understand that honesty of purpose and a desire to uphold and extend the interests of the country were to be found among the advo cates of the pending measure. He did not know, as the senator had stated, that the bill would not pass at the present session. An honest and earnest purpose to secure the passage of the bill was being made be cause Its advocates believed that the enact ment of the measure would tend to the upcunaing ot tne mercnant marine and extend tho shipbuilding industry of the coun try. "I know something about economic measures," said he. "I think I am entitled to the same consideration in connection with such measures as is accorded to any other senator. I do not propose to be considered as advocating any measure to loot the treasury when I am working for the interests of the United States." Mr. Hanna referred, incidentally, to the efforts of the senator from Colorado and to other orators on the opposition stump during the last campaign to break down the principles advocated by the Republican and earnest in his advocacy of th shin. ping bill, that he be accorded fair ana Just treatment In giving his support to what he believed to be an honest measur "I'll not be sidetracked." Mr. Hanna declared, "by any senator of the opposition. If I am to take a sidetrack 1 will decide myself when I shall take It." He next resented the insinuations that ho said had been made against him as the chairman of the national Republican committee and denounced them as unfair treatment in matters of legislation. He said he was not advocating the pending bill in the Interests of his party, but in the interests of the whole country. "If it is the object of the measures pending before Congress merelv to get money out of the treasury," said Mr. Hanna in conclusion, "what about the river and harbor bill? I say here that there are propositions In that bill that would make the shipping bill look pale." ACTIOX OF STEERING COMMITTEE. The Oleomargarine Bill Probably Will Be Takeu lp To-Day. WASHINGTON. Feb. 13.-Tho Republican steering committee of the Senate was in session two hours to-day. As a result of its deliberations the oleomargarine bill probably will be called up in the Senate tomorrow, to the temporary displacement of the ship subsidy bill, but it is not expected there will be an effort to keep the bill before the Senate beyond to-morrow If it falls to be acted upon then. There Is every reason to believe it will fall. Indeed, there is a fluite general understanding that after to-morrow there will be very little consideration given to any measures except appropriation bills and conference reports. The river and harbor bill, it is now understood, will be reported next week. All the appropriation bills to come carry large appropriations, and some of them more or less general legislation. There is considerable pressure on the friends of the subsidy bill to withdraw it, but so far they have declined to yield, taking the position that it was more desirable to have the bill defeated by Democratic antagonism than to havct voluntarily withdrawn. There was "considerable discussion in the conference of the prospect of an extra session, and the opinion was quite general that the outlook in that direction is favorable.

He Explains the Fcatnre of III Pri mary Election Dill. In explanation of his primary bill Senator Joss gave out a statement yesterday, part of which follows: "The primary election bill introduced by me tn-dav is bv no means a sham meas ure. It differs from the Mlnturn bill in four essential features. "First It Is applicable to political organi sations In every county of the State. This is called for by the state platforms of both parties and has been for a number of years. "Second It provides ror eacn party con ducting its own primaries under proper legal regulations and penalties, ana there fore provides that the primaries or tne different parties shall not be at the same time and same place, as in the Minturn bill. "Third My bill makes direct nominations optional with the party, it being determined at the first meeting of the precinct commit teemen, who are elected by the members cf the party in each precinct and must be called together within ten days after their election, thus giving a reasonable repre sentation of the sentiment of the people. "Fourth Primary reform Is a measure af fecting the control of party nominations. attempting to throw around them all the safeguards that now surround our general elections, and properly so, but still being party primaries not participated In by large numbers of the people who are not willing to owe and do not desire to claim allegiance to any party or party organizations the State ought not to be burdened witn the expense of such primaries. The cost of our elections is already sufficient. Under the provisions of the Mlnturn bill a pri mary in Marion county would cost within a few thousands as much as a general elec tion. The last general election In Marlon county cost J24.S37.94. This amount would be reduced some by the limitation placed upon the pay of Inspectors and judges, but would be increased by the expense of print ing the ballots on account of the clause compelling the rotation of names at the head of the list, so that each man In Marion county who pays taxes on JIO.OOO and belongs to no political party would pay X2 to defray an expense that the political organizations ought to pay. My bill trovidea that no expense for these pri maries shall be paid by the county. It of course can be said that a good thing is worth what it costs, but it is not worth what It costs to him who does not want it and does not get it, and it Is unfair to saddle these expenses upon the large num bers of people who claim no allegiance lo any political party. "The bill now introduced, to my mind. strikes at the root of the evil so much complained of In regulating with every possible care tne selection of precinct com mitteemen and the organizations of the dominant political parties. So long as the lountamnead remains impure the stream cannot be clarified. So long as precinct committeemen in an political organizations can be elected by irregular. Improper and bulldozing methods and the man so elected represents his political organization In that precinct so long will many decent and lawabiding citizens refuse to take an Interest ir. politics. This bill primarily attempts to properly regulate that evil. This bill is not introduced for the purpose of controlling or Interfering in any way with the Mlnturn bill, but because it is believed by the author and others whose opinions are of value that the Minturn bill is both theo retically and practically wrong In at least two of Its essential features and will not operate successful!' or as expected, and that this bill will be one that can be applicable to the entire State and will remedy tne evns to wnicn me party organizations are now suojectea. Will Hold Open Meeting. The Senate committee on elections will hold an open meeting at the Statehouse ext Monday night, at which time those interested In the nassa of iha nrimarv election bins introduced by Senator Joss and Representative Minturn are invited lo tc present and rlve their views on thr- - - - "I" AA 1 J two measures. The committee will take no nart in the discussion, hnf will rivu as much time as possible to those who arc interested enough to attend the meeting. Committee to Consider Them.

There was much difficulty in getting a vote, but finally the motion to reconsider prevailed. The question whether the bill should pass ordinarily would have come next, but the speaker held that a motion to postpone further consideration of the bill until the next day upon which private bills were In order was in order. Mr. Cannon entered such a motion and It was carried without division. This cleared the way for Mr. Richardson, who moved that the House go Into committee of the whole to consider private bills, and despite Mr. Cannon's opposition the Richardson motion prevailed 1-"0 to 103 and the private calendar was taken up. The remainder of the day was occupied in disposing of two small bills in committee of the whole. Mr, Cannon continued the filibuster to the end. and when the bills were reported to the. House he made the point of no quorum. Then, at 5:55, the House adjourned. Coburn Coal Company sells the best CcsX

THE SLWDAY-SCIIOOL, LESSON'. Feb. 17, l!M)lt Matthew xxvl, 1T-.10 The Lord's Supper. All tha singing pilgrim caravans had come to a halt with the high grace-note of the last song of degrees, "Our Feet Shall Stand Within i Thy Gates, O Jerusalem!" Green booths and snowy tents dotted all the valleys and slopes around the city, and three million worshipers made ready for the morrow. Over two hundred thousand lambs had been purchased and marked for sacrifice, and all the details of the Joyous festival were being attended to. Jesus tarried yet In the sweet and restful seclusion of Bethany; but His disciples knew that He who had said. "Thus it becometh me to fulfill all righteousness," would not ignore the gi eat Pascha. The question was not It He would eat it, but where He would do so. Two qX the disciples are at once commissioned to make the necessary preparations. They are sent with pealed orders, no doubt, to keep the traitor off their track. Not one of the remaining ten could possibly divine the place until they arrived there in tho evening. A man dolus a woman's work (carrying water) would be novelty enough to serve them as a sign. Jesus bade the messengers ask for a lowly place, some hallway. He will fain make the circuit. As h spent his first night on earth In a manger, so he would fain spend his last in one. He knows- beforehand, however, that his nameless but well-to-do disciple John Mark's fatherswill give him the best his stately manor affords. The disciples are oft at once upon their errand. They find it as Jesus had said. The proprietor of the house gladly places at their disposal a spacious room, capable of holding a hundred or more. But they will not be asked to share It with other paschal parties. They shall have it in completest privacy, It is in the second story, which will add to their seclusion. Its walls have been freshly whitened, and tile-floor scoured for this very occasion. The low, gayly-palnted table Is already in position, with the couches forming three sides of a hollow square about it. The hanging lamps, dishes, basins, and water-Jars, all are In position. The disciples view the place with grateful satisfaction, and then hurry out to make the neceasary purchases the wine, and cakes of unleavened bread; the vinegar, salt, and bitter herbs; the nuts, raisins, apples, and almonds to make the compost of, reminder of the clay In the brickyards of Egypt; and, most Important of all, the year-old lamb. One of them carries the lamb on his shoulders, the sacrificial knife sticking in its fleece or tied to its horns. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at sound of trumpet-blast, with all others who had been similarly commissioned, they went into the inner court of the temple. At three blasts, they, with thousands of others, struck the death-blow to their victim, while the priest caught the blood in a golden vessel, and passed it up to the high altar. As the disciples held the lamb upon a stick that rested upon their shoulders, it was quickly Hayed. The parts devoted to God were separated; then, wrapping the victim in its own skin, they started for the house where they were to celebrate, the feast. " The carca?, trussed upon skewers of pomegranate in shape of a cross, was baked in the household oven. At sundown. Jesus, with the ten, approached the city, knowing well where He would find the watlng disciples and the supper-room. They enter, and the Master views the preparations with evident satisfaction. The three first stars 'are shining now, and the silver trumpets signal the feast o begin. Shame, shame! The unseemly dispute as to precedure breaks out once more as the disciples scramble for the most eligible places. Jesus rebukes them in an acted parable, performing for them the menial task of a scu.ltry drudge. Now the paschal banquet begins. The ritual is used, the rubrics observed. The cup Is passed with thanksgiving. Bitter herbs, dipped In vinegar, are eaten in remembrance of Eyypt. The unleavened bread, with a bit of the roasted iamb upon it, is taken by each. Another cup is passed. There is the customary hand-wash ing. Jesus, as the symposiarch, discourses upon the significance of the feast. They break out in the Joyous singing of the first part of the Hallel. (Psalm cxiii-cxiv). The third and last sup goes from hand to hand, and then they sing the second part of the Hallel. (Psalm exv-exvili). At times through the feast, Jesu gives intimations. Increasingly distinct, of his betrayal and betrayer. He suffers not his manner towards Judas to change. lie probably let him take the chief place at the table. He certaln!y waehed his feet, and gave him his portion with His own hand. But the devil was in hla heart, and the thirty pieces In his scrip. An Incubus was lifted when the apostate left the apostles. All that remained of the paschal ritual was the blessing of praise with which it was always closed. They were all expecting It. The innovation cculd not but be noticed by those who had followed one programme annually from the time when they were ten years old. Instead of lifting his hand in benediction, Jesus reached ovtr to th dish of unleavened bread u;on the table. and, taking up a rlecc, he rose from the mat. and blessed it, and, as he passed from one to another, he broke it, giving each a rooriel. saying", "Take, eat; this is my body." Th?n he filled a cup. and. again giving thanks, and passing it from one to another, he said, "This is my blood of the new covenant, which Is shed for many for the remission of Mn.' Then followed his words of institution, "This do in remembrance of me." THE STTIJY LAMP. The anachronism of Leonardo da VlnelM lovely and Justly famous fresco of the Last Suppt-r Js obvious.

Perhaps e emphasize, disproportionately the sadnen of the Last Supper. Jesus, as host, would not allow the occasion to wholly lose its festive character. It was a goodly scene that the w-)l-trimmed lamps shone down upon. The fret-B turhans of blue, crimson and yellow, the antmated faces, the table covered witn Carnage and well supplied, make a study to deiuht a painter. The feast extended ovtr several hour, and only the sombre Incidents are recorded. There must have been much Joyous cunverse as well. Th presence of Judas wa the one ugly spot in the feat of love. Jeeuaj without openly criminating him before the com pan), plainly announced that one of the TwelC would betray him. He did this for their sakte. that they might know he was perfectly aware of his impending fate, and, not bcirg at all surprised, voluntarily nubmitted to It. He did it for Judas's sake. It was his last apieal te the traitor. He gave Judas th chief place at the table, washed his feet, irave him his por tlon wlrtt hi own hand, lovingly let him know he read his wicked heart, and only whfn it was clearly of no avail he bade htm do quickly his wicked deed. I make no question but that this upper room, forever ndeared te the hearts of the apostles (and probably the property of a disciple), witnessed the appearance of the risen Christ in tholr midst, ana of the Pentecostal effusion of the Holy t;hnt. If so, it was the very cradle of the in fan: Church. The various name by which the Lord's Supper is known are in themst-ivt very significant. It is the Eucharist, meaning our "good thanks" for the Lamb that wa slain; it is the sacrament (sacranu ntum), our holy pledge of fealty to our Divine Leader; it is the communion (communis), sign of the Intercourse and agreement we have with od and each other. The believer should be always ready to commune, as he Is supposed to be always ready to pray. But this doea not render special preparation undesirable; for the communicant finds In the sacrament what he brings to it, no more and no less. Jou is present in the ordinance only to the thought and feeling of the communicant; present only as his suffering and death are realized by faith. To ak and to take the solemn t-Wfnt of redemption Is to confess before the wrrl4 and before the Church faith In the great face At the table of the Lord's Supper man and God meet man with his highest asvhatlons, God with His richevt gifts Pressense. Incidentally the Communion is a pledge ot the reunion of Jesus and all his disciples. He taid he would eat no more of tbe bread nor urlnfc cf the cup until the kingdom should come.

The effect, however, though full of grace and beauty, was not what he desired, and the statue now showi Christ in the more divine attitude of entreaty, His hands outstretched a if He would t rj to every sin-laden sou!, "Come unto me. and rest." There can be no quertlon as t- Chrit's desire for us.
