The i:ik Seen lu "A Mght In Dohemln.' The twenty-flr?t annual benefit of Indianapolis Lodge, No. 13, Bv I O. Elks, at English's Opera Hou!e last night. Was the most pretentious and the boat ever given by the order. Heretofore th policy has been to give a minstrel performance each year. This season, however, It was deemed advisable to yield to the popular fondness for musical comedy and vaudeville by substituting for the amateur minstrel exhibition a sprightly, up-to-date musical comedy. An ideal comedy for presentation by a lodge of Elks was found In Thomas 1 Getz's "A Night in Bohemia." That Mr. Gets Is an accomplished producer and stage director also was abundantly demonstrated by the dash and smoothness of last night's performance. There was scarcely a hitch from beginning to end, and not . Infrequently' the amateurishness disappeared almost entirely. Henry Warram had the leading role of Edmund Keane, "a retired actor, a good Elk and a thorough Bohemian," and In all, save lack of aged appearance, was thoroughly satisfying, llere and there throughout the action of the piece allusions were made that caused brother Elks In the audience and In the boxes to squirm uneasily In their seats, and their associates to laugh Incontinently, thereby adding greatly to the spontaneity and general gayety of the performance. A large and uncommonly good array of specialties was given in the two act?. The best of thtse were, perhaps, Joseph L, Gasper's Impersonation of the German policeman Groshelmer. Nona McCormick as Dollie Nobles, Albert Donahue as Tommy Jlggs. Charles Balz as Dusty Rhodes, and Louie Bates as Sis Hopkins. Miss McCormick carried much of the burden of the performance on her young shoulders, and deserves great credit. Her surprisingly strong, clear mezzo-soprano was employed to excellent advantage In a number of songs, notably "Miss Phoeb" in which she was assisted by Aocrt Donahue: "You Told Me You Had Money in the Bark." eung with Mr. Faddock. and "He Did Like Kelly Did." sung with Messrs. Gasper, Donahue and Charles Balz. The llnale to the Urs: act consisted of a delightful medley of popular airs and a picturesque cakewalk, the latter furnished by the entire .company, richly costumed for the occasion. The medley was made up of: "The Man In the Moon Might Tell," by Joseph Gasper; "Honey That I Love Öo Well." S. It. Pn.ea.i; "I Wonder if Sh.-'s Waiting," Warren Sampptll; "I've Just Received a Telegram from Baby," Miss McCormick; a Love You. 'Deed I Do." Clara Mills; "The Song of the Rose" (Andrew Mack), Sada Howe; "Lamb, Lamb. Lamb." William Edmonds, and "The Luckiest Coon In Town." Mr. 1'addock. Little Friday and the Misses Edith Cleveland and Virginia Osgood took prominent parts in the cakewalk. The biggest hit of the first act Was cored by the Misses Ethel Annette, Ruby Hunt Dean. Jessie 1 Townseiui. Helen Wilmer. Mae Rlalsdell. Elizabeth Rinehart, Ben ha Balz, Irene Harris and Messrs. Beii'strnherz, Bowsher, Morrison and Rembusch in a fetching take-off entitled "The Grefit Salvation Army." The second act opened with a Wautitul fancy. "The Old Bohemian's Dream." in which Charles Daugh-rty gave a splendid- rendition of "The Palms" to oi.in accompaniment. "TKe Lar Little Willie Bovs." by Helen Winner. Ruby Hunt Dean. Ethel Annette, Mat BlalsdHl and Irene Wilson was a neat specialty, elegantly costumed and received a Ijearty encore. -The Girls from Gay ParVe" was so boisterously received that thelperformance had to pause while it was reflated several times The young women who took part were Sada D. Bowe. Emma Lizlus and Susan Walker. Edna Beissenher. Ruby Dean, Helen Wilmer, Jessie Townsend and Elizabeth Rlnehart won great appliu with thtir "bwish girl" spe- . cialty, "Hag Time Liz." "We re Out for a IBgh Old Time," a very lively specialty son, composed by Mr. Getz. was given In a oVeidedly unamateurish manner by Albert Donahu, Emmet t Rose and the author. Other numbers that were received with enthusiasm were "The Brownie Cjuartet." Messrs. R. C. Parkin. Charles Daugh-c-rtt'. William Arlrk anil Ralph Jones; "The Meli Who Left tlie Town to Go to Klondike." Messrs. A. C. Schmidt. Emmet Rose. Horace Thomas. S. R. Smead. Louie Bates and Louie Gfhring; an. I Mr. Balz's song. "I Took the Heavy Part." A d.cidel tinge of ithe professional was nddrd to the entertainment by the appearance of Mrs. Kuth QjuWley Morris in the song, "The Hoo-Doo-Doo-Doo Man." with calcium light effects, in which she was asslste-d by the Misses Edith Cleveland and Virginia Osgood and Musters Oscar Derrick. Walter Nicholas. Robert Lowry and Walter Moore. "A Nlüht In Bohemia' wHl be repeated

XXX The Allison troupe of acrobats, numbering seven, at the Grand Opera House th'.s week, are giving a performance that for cleverness and grace would be diflicult to surjtiss. They perform the most difficult feats with apparently the most perfect ease. xxx "The Great White Diamond," which finishes its engagement at the Park Theater with two performances to-day, is proving one of the biggest melodramatic hits of the present season at that house. No other play has been provided with handsomer scenery or mere startling mechanlcil effects. x x x One of the most picturesque scenes In "The Sunshine of Paradise Alley," coming to the Park to-morrow afternoon for the remainder of the current ' week, is that showing the East river dock, with its ceaselets activities, and In the background a realistic illuminated painting of Brooklyn bridge. xxx Edmund Rostand Is not the Inventor of the nickname 'TAiglon" ("Eaglet") for the unfortunate Napoleon II, King of Rome or Duke of Reichstädt.

After an absence of three years Josef Hofmann, the pianist, made his reappearance at Carnegie Hall yesterday afternoon. His programme was the largest and broadest from a musical standpoint that has ever been presented to an American audience by any pianist. Professional experts and critics, after the performance, said that never since Rubenstein's day has such work been heard in this country. At the close of the programme the audience refused to leave the hall until Hofmann had played three extra numbers. During the encore performances the aisles following the line of the stage were packed with men and women standing and bestowing their applause on the pianist. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. Henry W.

LOCAL COUNCIL'S RULES

RESOLITIONS I.XTHOIH'CI'Il II Y MRS. MAY WRIGHT SEWALL. Some Rndleal C'linnges Suggmted by the l'rnp)lneum Ammelnt Ion Paper Rend by Mrs. Edson. The Local Council of Women held its regular monthly meeting yesterday afternoon at the I'ropylaeum with a very large attendance, considering the stormy weather. One of the most important features of the meeting vas the introducing of a solution from the Propylaeum Association by its president, Mrs. May Wright. Sewall, which reads af follows: "The executive committee of the board of directors cf the I'ropylaeum Association authorzes its representatives, namely its president arid delegates, to present In Us n.tmti the Rllwlng petition: It asks ehar th substance of this petltton shall be dlscusseel at the April meeting and it respect lully invites the societies affiliated In tho Local Ccuncil to consider its request before that eiate "We would respectfully remind the Loca! Council that its executive committee consols of the general officers of the council, togther with the presidents of the affiliated societies, and that Into their hands are committed the general interests of tho council. We, therefore, think that the executlva committee charged with such important interests should meet regularly and that all i fllliated societies wishing to b'ing before the Local Council any important matter should be invited to bnnK it lirst betöre the Local Council. It seems also desirable that the chairman of all standing committees should be invited to meet v.-'lh the executive committee, and that the plans of every committee shad be at all Mines within the knowledge of the executive committee of the council. This rec uest is made for the following reisons. (a) It is necessarv to secure to the business of the Local Council the attention demanded by its importance; D) such meetings of the executive committee a-e also recessary to secure tor the eon-i-iteration tf business the privacy In whl-di alone initial discussion can bo mado with fiecdom. FOR A SEPARATION. "2. Wc ask that at the regular monthly meeting of tho council arrangements shall be made to separate the voting body of the council, that is, the president and one delegates from each of the affiliated sociales, from members of affiliated societies, who although eligible to participate in discussions may not have a vote. This request Is l lade for two purposes: (a) We believe that In this way the voting members of the council will have a greater sense of tespoiisiblJlly for active participation in the work of the council, and (b) that there will be less dancer of misrepresentation jf thi courcils action. We wish als that arrangements shall be mado to exclude from the business meeting which precedes th public meeting all persons i.ot members of alf.liated cif. ionizations. While it Is most desirable that the general public shall le invited to attend all regular meetings of the Local Council we believe it desirable to d.scrnninale between members of affiliated Foe. it: ties and persons having no connection with such societies. We respectfully request tnit no important business involving any vital principle shall be voted on at the same meeting at which it is first brought forward; but that all such propositions shall be presented at least one mo.ith prior to the times at which the vote shall be taken on them In the interim we ask thai there shall be sent to all affiliated societies a copy of the proposition or resolution to be voted on at the next regular council meeting, with a request that the affiliated societies take action upon tho eiuestlon involved." Other resolutions were presented by the committee on visitation of city and state institutions by Mrs. Mary A. Moody, asking the council to encourage the enforcement of the anti-spitting law; a resolution asking the council to constitute and maintain a committee to be known as the committee for civic purposes, and a third askirg the council to have a consultation cf the programme committee of societies affiliated with tho council, which meets on Tuesday, to rearrange Its programme so as bot to conflict with the Local Council. Mrs. Grace Julian Clark read an Interesting report from the local Political Equality Society, giving a summary of the work of the society in the past year and asking the members of the council to attend the meetings and arouse Interest in them. Mi.-s Euith Williams read a report from the Sketching Club, also consisting of a brief history of the society since its organization and its work among all classes. STATE GUARDIANSHIP. The principal feature of tho afternoon v. as a paper on "State Guardianship," by Mrs. Helen A. Euson. She said In part: "Under the guardianship of the State are three classes of wards those who are under its care, public school children, those who require special skilled instruction, such as the deaf and dumb and blind, and the third class embraces those who are under Its care for crime, or because they are without parents or means of support." bhe spoke briefly on the third class, and said in part: "The average free, comfortable, law-abiding citizen can scarcely appreciate the difference between an institutional life which may be terminated at any time at the discretion of the inmates ci guardians and an institutional life over v.hose character and duration they have no control. That the State must needs act as guardian for large numbers of its citizens is unavoidable, but it should look well to the administering of this trus. Subguardians, or acting guardians, commonly called wardens and superintendents, are placed in Immediate control of theoc aggregations of state wards. But hardiy any error in the choice of matron, warden or superintendent can be compared to the 1-hinder of keeping one of them too long n office. Moro reasons than one may bo given In support of the proposition that It is not usually wise to retain either man or woman many years In a position of absolute authority. There is a feature of long terms a hardening )roce'ss, an insidious disease which very soon lays hold of thos who aro in authority. I do not believe it possible for man or woman to escape deterioration In the very qualities essential for such duties. Society is slowly learning this ty bitter disappointments at the hands of trose in whem It confides the care of its unfortunates. It is not fair to public servants In positions f such importance to leave them there too long. They should be retired while they are yet in their prime and at full tide of popular approval and respect. I suppose tnat Superintendent Prockway, who was for so many years :n full charge at tho Elmira Reformatory, New York, would have gone to his grave lull of honors for the good work done n rds early years if he had been relieved a few years sooner. Absolute power tend to contract the sympathies, to dull tho sense of Justice " Indiana Photographie. LenRue. The second semi-annual convention of the Indiana Photographic Art League will begin at Clark's studio this morning. Tho membership of the league is limited to one representative from each city In the State, and each of these will have an exhibit of three photographs on exhibition to the public from 2 o'clock this afternoon till 8. At the morning session George G. Hollowaj-, of Terre Haute-, will deliver an address on "Objects and Purposes of the League." F. R. Barrows, of Fort Wayne, will lead a discussion on "Criticism and Suggestion," and Ben Larrimer, of Marion, will read a paper on "The Chemistry of Photography." To-night the league will banquet at the Bates. Adam Heimberer, of New Albany, and C. R. Reeves, of Anderson, will act as toastmasters. Those on the programme for responses are George G.

'A MAGNATES GOTO ST. PAUL WATK1XS AMI ItlSCIIAVPT AT WESTERN LEAGUE 3IEETIMJ. They Left Town AVltliont n Ilrnnn Rand ' and Little la Known Here of Their Pinna. W. II. Watklns and his partner, Charles Ruschaupt, put on their gum shoes yesterday and stole out of Indianapolis. They went in the direction of St. Paul, and will be in that city when the Western League magnates meet there to-morrow to perfect their organization. The latest move of the Indianapolis magnates may bo taken to mean that Indianapolis will be in the Western League this season. It is said that Indianapolis and Louisville would be Included in Hlckey's organization provided Denver and Pueblo could be disposed of. It is probable that some understanding was arrived at before the Indianapolis men started for St. Paul, but both are out of the city and their intentions and plans cannot be corroborated. A special to the Journal from Fort Wayne last night ' says that Watklns has asked the Interstate League magnates to postpone all action until after the meeting of the Western League, as he talks of forming a league with Fort Wayne, Indianapolis, Iouisville, Columbus, Toledo, Grand Rapids, Detroit and Milwaukee.

(CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) .sincere support of a majority of the Senate because of the absence of a cloture rule. Mr. Mason controverted this. "Will the senator from Illinois name a bill that has been defeated by the minority?" asked Mr. Jones. "Will the senator from Arkansas tell the Senate," responded Mr. Mason, ignoring the question, "how many times he was consulted about the ship subsidy bill and how many concessions he was asked to make in order to permit consideration of the measure to proceed? I think a reply to this queslon," added the Illinois senator, "will illustrate the point of my contention better than anything I can say." Mr. Teller said he saw in the movement which had been set on foot a determined effort to cut off debate in the only national tribunal In which there was absolutely freedom of debate. This he considered a step In the subversion of liberty. He declared that whatever might be accomplished at a later session the rules could not be changed during the present special session.

There also was discussion on the cloture movement of the Senate, and. while no effort was made to se-cure a formal expression on the subject, there was a sufficient exchange of opinion to cause those present to conclude that the move would be resisted to the end of the session. The conference was attended by Senators Patterson, Dubois, Harris, Turner and Heitfeld, all of whom heretofore have acted with either the Silver Republicans oc Populists. ALMOST A RIOT.
