Tha Sembrich opera company presented to a large audience at English's Opera House last night a condensed version of Donizetti's charming opera, "Don PasQuale," with a very small company, no chorus, and scenery that was largely contributed by the local theater. The merest glance at the librettos which, by some mischance or sarcastic Intention, were placed on ale In the opera house and foyer was all that was necessary to inform one that the Indianapolis production of "Don Pasquale" was vastly in ferior In many regards to that given the Metropolitan Opera liouso in New York. Nevertheless, "Don Pasquale," in the reduced version presented last night. was one of the most enjoyable events In many seasons. The principals were se lected from the world's greatest singers and there was a splendid orchestra, srreat ly augmented for the occasion, conducted by Signor Uevignanl. a veritable wizard of the baton. "Don Pasquale" is an opera ccraiiue on the same order as "II Darbierj de Sevilla," but Infinitely more tuneful und otherwise more enjoyable than tho latter. "The Harber of Seville" was worth hearing. "Don Pasquale" was a distinct musical event. It may have been that tha music of the latter opera gave Mme. Sem brich's glorious voice better opportunity to display its inhnlte riches of harmony than did the former. At any rate, she sang o exquisitely, so divinely last night that It f ccmed as If her voice had undergone some subtle change or improvement since it was last heard here. Her first song, which came at the opening of the second act. be ginning with the words "K tanto era m Quel gardo," fairly carried the hou?e by etorra. The singer's wondrous bird-like voice, clear as any cathedral chime, seemed to literally till the air with thrilling, pul sating vibrations or waves of llauid mel ody. At times she trlJitd as easllv and as Joyously as any feathered songster that lilts its voice In ecstacy to the sky. Men Hon of each one of Mme. Sembrich's sons categorically would mean to exhaust one's vccabulary or praise. Signor ltossi. the great basso buffo, who was readily recalled as having the title rcie or "The Harber of Seville" last year, appeared In the name part of "Dun Pasrtuale." and again scored triumphs by his Inimitable comedy acting and his admirable singing of the lines belonging to hlj t art. Signor Pensaude's line baritone was heard to advantage in the role of Dottorc Malatesta, tho physician who plotted a: the mischief that brought so much misery to the old Don. Signor (lalazzl as tNs xotary was prevented trom fhowing much vocal ability, but the few lines allotted him were rendered effectively. Next to Aline. Sembrlch. the greatest upplauso was fhowered upon? tho peerless tenor, Signor De Lara Signor De Lara's songs in the articr acts were encorJ. but his Kreac serenade in the last uct. "How soft th air. In April night fair," was erected with u veritable ovation, an.l the progress f the opera WiU arretted while ho repeat c.i tho bewitching meiody. Excellent Vnndevlllc nt the firnnd Opera Hnnse. Good Judgment was displayed In asnembiing this week's vaudeville bill at tho Grand Opera Hou.e. for tho acts are so nearly uniform that it Is difficult to point to one as being pre-eminently the best. Callahan and Mack open the bill with an act that Is made up oi a little music," a little dancing and a great donl of story. The story Is somewhat tedious, and might be curtailed in favor of tin; bagpipe, tluto and lif music and tho dancing, which are really fine. Kdward F. Jteynard, the ventriloquist, received a pleapant greeting Whn he mad- his Initial appearance yesterday afternoon, for he was recognized as a frm--r Indianapolis boy. and the city Is loyal to its on. Mr, Keynard has not teen seen here dr.ee Ms appearance at the IlikV xrdnstrtl benefit Just year, and lu

the meantime he has greatly improved his act. which Is now provided with really bright dialogue. "A Woman's Dilemma" Is the title ot a little farce that is presented by rive capable players May Wentworth. Patti . Posa, William 1. Raynore, Webster CulIL-on and Percy F. Norton. The honors of the piece fell to Mr. Raynore, whose SI Stcbbins is a clever bit of character acting. Strict candor compels the admission that, in this number, there is too much acting ability wasted upon a very inadequate play. An event of more than ordinary interest yesterday was the re-appearance after several seasons absence of Uettina Gerard, about whom as much has been said and published as about anv other woman of the stage in the last decade. MI.. Gerard's friends were delighted to find her quite as dashing and her voice quite as tuneful as in the days when sh headed h r own musical comedy company. Max Waldon. a female impersonator, was next on the bill However much one may dislike performers of Mr. Waldon's type, it must be admitted that he has succeeded in eliminating from his personality almost all traces of the masculine. Arrayed in several changes of costume, he s:ing very well, and otherwise comported hfrnrelf as a perfect lady. Mi.s Elizabeth Murray was prevented by illness from making tne trip to Indianapolis In time to be in this week's bill, and Anna Kenwick was engaged In her place, but Miss Kenwick did not get on until last night. The aquatic exhibition given by James and Marie Finney (brother and sister) in a large glass tank Is a decided novelty In a vaudeville entertainment. Some of the remarkable feats performed by this clever pair were picking up frlxty coins with the mouth from the bottom of the tank, doing a number of acrobatic turns under the water and remaining several minutes nt tho bottom of the tank with no other supoly of air than that taken with them. The performance concluded with the biograph in a series of new and magnificent moving pictures. The man who manipulated the machine made a number of distressing blunders that marred an otherwise fine exhibition. Pictures that aroused trre.it enthusiasm were the "Overland Lim

ited Passing Witch Rocks." "A Spectacular Start," showing the Columbia leading tho Shamrock. Paris exposition seen In pan oramic view from the moving sidewalk, Professor Holloway's diving horses at Coney Island, and Emperor Wilhelm splendid battleship, the Odin, sleamlng Into action with broadsides being discharged from .ill batteries. "A nan on the nnnk" nt Park. Charles Pusey, the long comedian, and his abbreviated partner, Bert St. John, pleased a bis audience at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon by their peculiar meth ods of fun-making in Ward and Vokes's old success. "A Run on the Rank." The piece Is a lively farce that has been purposely bereft of plot to make room for the introduction of specialties In response to the popular demand at present. Mr. Pusey, as Lord Percy Soakup, traveled arm In arm with Mr. St. John, as Iiaron Harold Decantor, throughout the three acts, and the pair contrived in many ways to make them selves very greeable. They were ably utsfdsted by Jlmmle Fanson, as Bow Legs; John Vincent, as Abraham Roslnosky; Lo rene Jansen, as Hasty Writer; Louise Gould, as Nera Man, and a host Of others. A few of the specialty hits of the performance were: John Vincent's tramp specialty; the act of the Grierson Sisters, a combination of singing and dancing; "Wise Rubes from Okan Patch.", by Messrs. Stanley. Vincent, Fansen, Pusey, and St. John; "My Girl from Dixey," Miss Jansen; acrobatic turn by Jlmmle Fansen and Lorene Jansen; "She's a Queen." Miss Jansen and the com pany; "An Embarrassing Position," Miss Tompkins and Messrs. Pusey and St. John; Now We Come," Pusey and St. John: the De Arvllle Sisters in a combination of songs, dances, and contortion work. As an extra attraction little Elsie Janls Blerbower, a child impersonator, was introduced. Little Miss Blerbower Is fairly entitled to the distinction of being termed the greatest child actress in the country. It there is one that surpasses her she has not appeared In Indianapolis yet. With consummate cleverness the little girl Imitates almost to the life Edna May as the Salvation Army lassie, Pauline Hall In her doll song, a French music hall singer and a Hebrew entertainer, In addition to giving In excellent style the song written especially for her by AI Fitz. entitled, "Don't You Want a Little Doggie?" Taking it altogether. "A Run on the Bank" is one of the best light entertainrrents the Park has had in a long time and should play to big houses at both performances to-day. At the Empire. A better title might have been given to the "Fads and Follies" burlesque company, which began a three days stand at the Empire Theater, yesterday afternoon. The troupe presents a great number of commendable features and the name of "Fads and Follies" leads one to believe that It is made up of a lot of light stuff not worthy of recognition. In the cast are many faces familiar to the patrons of the Empire. A good feature of the show is that nothing of a suggestive nature finds Its way Into the lines. The performance opens with a burlesque, made up of pretty girls with good voices. The piece is called "Tim Sullivan's Chowder." It also might bo termed "hash." as everything has been used in its formation, there being no plot of any kind. James F. Leonard assumes tho principal rolo. Frank Fogarty, as a Swede, makes a great deal out of his part. Otis Shattuck, as the tough person. Is above the average. J A lithesome pair Patsy and Sadie BranIgan open the olio -with a series of jigs nd reels which were entertaininfr. Barry Thompson and Annie Carter still retain their old lines, and Thompson is still acting the part of the drunken husband with a shade more of reality. Miss Carter's singing still pleases. A clown trio, composed of a woman, a man, and a boy, under tho name of "Bira, Bom, B'rrr," have a unique musical act. Otis Shattuck and Minnie Bernard try legitimate acting, which might be improved. Mark Bennett and Albert Rich have this year come together and are now singing in a new sketch. This team was forced yesterday to respond to a number of encores on account of their illustrated songs. The last burlesque, similar to the first, is made up of Leonard's rough comedy, assisted by Messrs. Fogarty, Thompson and Shattuck. A'otcs of the Stave. "A Bachelor's Romance" opens its return engagement at English's Opera House Thursday night with Tim Murphy, the emi nent ccmedlan, and Dorothy Sherrod, the rretty, clever ingenue, in the leading roles cf David Holmes and Sylvia. XXX The Duke of York's theater at London, under the management of Mr. Chatles Frohman. was reopened last evening with "The Adventures of Lady Ursula." Almost all the members of the original cast of two years appeared, including Miss Evelyn Millard and Herbert W aring. XXX "The Girl from Maxim's," a very funny Parisian vaudeville farce by George Feydeau. Is the novelty that will be offered patrens of Erglih's Opera House to-mor-iow nipht with Hatlie Williams as the frirky Moulin Reuse grlictte, who gives the piece its catchy title. Miss Williams is supported by a largo company of funmake rs. xxx Wilson Barrett, the English dramatist and poet, is reported to be in Imminent danger of having the appointment of poet laureate thrust upon him. King Edward was. It Is said, so favorably Impressed by Mr. Barrett's verses on the death of the CJuecn that he sent a royal command for a copy to be delivered to him. XXX The "long and short of' It" are with the Royal Liliputlans, who are coming to the Park the last three days of the present week In their spectacular farce "Tho Meny Tramps." John Church is clalme.l to be almost eight feet hlsh, whilo Will Archie is sill to have stopped crowing at three ft et- Iio th are stanch adherents to the tenets of the Order of Elks. XXX "Miss Prlnnt," the musical comedy in which Marie Dressier, the brilliant corre dionne, will be seen at English's Opera House to-night. Is a delightful combination j ojxra, musical comedy, burlesque and extravacanza. That th- libretto is brixht und humorous kocs without saying since George V. Hobart ("Dinkelsplel") wrote it. The muhic is said to bo of the "tickling" variety, lii t. but not least, the compnny Is claimed to 1 one of the largest and best tourlnc in musical comedy this season. XXX Professor Blake's dog and monkey circus, that entertained large crowds at the Zoo a few weeks ago, is again the leading attraction at that place of amusement this wek. lrofessor Itlaka has adiU-U new features to his interesting show and the monkeys and dogs give a very entertairing act. Baby Stella in "A Bin! in a OlldeJ Cage;" "Doc." the baby elephant; Bonav!ta and his lion act. Aginton, the "human top." and other feature are on the protrammo this wcvlc Friday will be ob-

tcrvei as Washington's birthday in an appropriate manner. ' xxx This reason's production of "Monte Cr'.sto," at the head of which is the ever popular actor James O'Neill, Is referred to In all comments of critics as a gorgeous, magnificent affair. Everything that advanced ttagecraft could suggest in the way of en-1-ancing the almost t bewildering maze of scenic changes ind adding to the iridescence of the more elaborate mountings would ceem to have been added by l-iebler &: Co., who arranged the production. Interest in the coming of this great spectacle to English's Opera House Friday and Saturday of the current week is heiirl tened by the announcement that Mr. O'Neill numbers in his supporting cjmpanv such clever yctors as Frederick De Belleville, Thurlow Bergen and Howell Hansell. The seat t?aie will open this morning. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY.

OVERRIDING OF THE LAW justice immvF.n ox kasas cur- ' SAD12IIS AND I.VNCII I Slrn. Nation Trying to lie n John Brown SpuMuiodlc Virtue Aext Door to Intentional Vice. NEW HAVEN, Conn., Feb. lS.-IIon. David J. Brewer, associate justice of the United States Supreme Court, delivered the fourth lecture in the Yale course this aft ernoon on "The Responsibilities of Citizen ship." He discussed the question of .strikes, also the overriding of the law In lynchlngs and the exhibition of popular Indignation ever the lawlessness in the State of Kaneas. Referring to the latter, Justice Brewer said, in part: "In the larger cities there is now a spasmodic exhibition of virtue, and Mrs. Carrie Nation hopes to be the successor of John Brown. Spasmodic virtue Is the poorest that anyone can have. It is next door to Intentional vice. It may be thnt, for a time, the violations of the prohibition law will be stopped, but ultimately we fear that the officers who have been delinquent will become indifferent again and that the community will also become lax in sentiment. Ten years from now we fear that the conditions will become worse than they have been." At the conclusion the jurist said of lynchlngs: "We used to find eome justification for a community taking the law Into its own hands by pleading that circumstances demanded a quick justice. It has seemed to me that in eome cases legislation was conceived for obstructing the punishment of criminals. Courts and executives have been tender hearted. It is not wonderful, therefore, that communities have punished when they feared that the law would interpose delays. But when legislators become aroused by the moral sense of the communities they will enact such legislation that justice will be facilitated. Then lynching will be forgotten and be a matter of hUtory." Mr. Blnlne's "Memory." Washington Post. Speaker Henderson told yesterday a good story of one of his initial experiences among public men in Washington. It was before he had been elected to Congress, probably twenty-five years ago. Blalno was then speaker. Naturally he was one of the statesmen that General Henderson much desired to meet, and the opportunity came of a morning, just a3 the speaker was passing through the lobby on his way to the marble rostrum. The formal greetings were exchanged In a brief moment, and General Henderson was left to see the swinging doors close on tho stalwart form of the Republican leader. Six years later General Henderson again came to Washington, this time to get Iowa divided into two Judicial districts. He put up at Wormley's, where Blaine also lived, it being in those days a fashionable and flourishing hostelry. A week or so after his arrival from Iowa, as General Henderson was entering the dining room, he met Blaine, after having passed and repassed him many times. The Maine man grasped him cordially by the hand, called him by name and Inquired about Iowa. "I had heard of Speaker Blaine's wonderful faculty for remembering names," says General Henderson. . "When I had seated myself at the table I beckoned to the head waiter. " 'Hasn't Mr. Blaine asked you my name?' I said to him. 'Now think hard and be sure of your answer. "'Yes, sah,' replied the waiter. 'He done called me ovah las' night an asked yo name an' all about yo. I tole him yo" was MIstah Henderson. " He Doenn't Like Mr. Nation. Kansas City Journal. "It Is hard," writes a Topeka man, 'to accept Mrs. Nation as the 'motherly old soul' she is said to be, or to find in her the characteristics of godliness. She is fat. noisy and Impertinent. She hasn't the first conception of good manners or politeness. She will snatch a cigar out of a man's mouth and go to roaring In the middle of the street about her own call to visit out the vengeance of the Lord. She has no discrimination, and she is coarse and talky to the utmost degree. Yesterday ho Jumped on Policeman McKIroy, an old soldier, a Christian and a Prohibitionirt. ani called him a 'red-nosed old soak!' I followed her around the other day and watched her closely, but I haven't yet ben able to place her definitely. However, she belongs in one of two categories. She either is insane on the liquor question, or else she is a common scold such as our forefathers used to duck in a pond." The Queen and Napoleon. Harper's Weekly. The simplicity of the Queen's character is well shown by the ease with which tha adventurer Bonaparte lngratlateed hirmelf nnd the obscure Spanish Countess whom he had married Into her favor. He was, .is Greville remarked, the first man whom she had ever met on the footing of equality, and ho took prompt advantage of this vantage ground to secure for himself the stamp of what may be ellel the fooial approval in the coterie of kings which her approbation conferred. He did It by the old but always effective method of familiarizing himself with the life history of the subject of his flattering attentions. "It is verj' odd." exclaimed the Ingenuous Queen, after her visit to Paris In lCi. "but the Kmperor knows everything I have done and everywhere I have been since I was twelve yers old; he even recollects how I was dressed." The IIoreIe Vehlele. "Tip," In New York Prcs5. The horseless vehicle of t-day Is Incongruous. It is even uncar.ny. A fourwheeled wagon with horses attached has symmetry and balance, but the automobil presents the appearance of a monster with its head cut off mysteriously feeling Its way over the pavement. It is far worse than a loose freight car running down grade without a man to control the brakes. It reminds one of the chicken striding along aimlessly after getting the ax In the neck.

DIGNITY. a pure soap; it is easy would be highly appreciated. The "mobt nightmare" has already obtruded itself a ghastly spectacle of beasts tearing along in headless blood and confusion, impelled bf the weird exorcism of a mumbo-jumbo. But then invisible power is always black art and diablerie. Remember how tha poor Indian tried to lasso the locomotive tearing along through his country at forty miles an hour, the most pitiable act ot courage In all history. Too 3tuch 'Courtesy New York Telegraph. Senator Hanna's ship subsidy bill Is In a lot more danger from its supposed friends than from Its enemies, according to th latest 'Washington advices. Under ihi guise of zealous hospitality nome of its r.p1arently warmest supporters are rllppiujr tnockout drops Into its coffee, as well a. surreptitiously loading It with handicaps and filling Its path with a mixed collection of banana peels and fine wire trlp-me-ups. And the Joke of it is Senator Hanna understands and sees what Is going on, but lacks the power to break up the game. Excess of senatorial courtesy Is operating against him now; some day It will work for him. the wise though new statesman from the Western reserve argues. In the club to which Senator Hanna now belongs the member who can take his medicine today and smile as though he enjoyed it may have an inning to-morrow. ' Smoke Consumers. Kansas City Journal. The town of Chicago Is agitated over the smoke consumer question. So far no special committee has been appointed to vlit Kansas City for the purpose of finding out how to abate the nuisance. Some four years ago the fearful agitation here resulted in settling that question for all time. There has been no smoke sighted since, and the victory was so complete that the owl smoke consumers were provided without additional trouble. Chicago will doubtless investigate the Kansas City style of smoke consuming. Cemetery Lout the I2tnte. Boston Herald. The latest will to be set aside by the courts in New York is that of a testator who left all his residuary estate to tha cemetery wherein he was to be buried. The court holds that this bequest is invalid for the reason that the testator already had a burial plot and a handsome monument, ertcted during his lifetime at great expense, and the court is unable to find any valid reason for one dead man having two costly monuments in one cemetery. This looks rather more logical than sentimental. Love is the corncr-jone of a woman's life. She builds all her hqjes upon and around those tender alTection ones who are dear to her, and which she looks to receive from thern in return. This is woman's nature; it is the Gcxlgiven instinct that makes her a fond and tender sweetheart; a comforting, helpful wife ; an ever-loving, solicitous, care-taking mother. When a woman feels that the responsibilities and duties of wifehood and motherhood have become irksome to her a burden and trouble rather titan a source of uplifting and inspiration it shows that there is some deficiency in her physical make-up; some abnormal and unhealthy condition of the delicate and important special structure of womanhood.
