A critical New York audience could fine little fault with this week's vaudeville programme at the Grand. If Manager Myers continues to bring such performers to the city as he now has on his till he may confidently expect to see the theater filled at every performance to the end of the season. Yesterday afternoon almost every seat in the house was occupied and the admirable behavior of the audience Indicated that a much better clas3 of patronage had been drawn than was present a week ag3. A tirst-of-the-week performance has not proceeded so smoothly and enjoyably thus far this season. Camille D'Arville. the beautiful operatic star with the glorious soprano voice, was, naturally, the principal attraction of the performance. Miss lVArville, it seemed, never sang more delightfully or with greater sympathetic rower than yesterday , afternoon. Melody of the most entrancing' kind fairly poured Irom her throat Her'numbers were "Unti' I Reach That Golden Shore," "Sadie" and -The Holy City." In the last number Miss D'Arville made all who had attempted the selection in this city previously seem mere novices in the art of singing. When she finished the audience settled itself back in the seats and began to applaud in a style of peculiar determination that seemed to pay, "Keep on. you may complete the programme for us if you will." Hut superlatively excellent as was Miss D'Arville's singing, many other features of the bill came In for great applause. Minnie Allrn. a beautiful and clever young comedienne and singer, assisted by "Will II. Murphy, one of the funniest character comedians in vaudeville, kept the audience in roars of laughter for fullv thirty minutes in th Ir sparkling sketch. "The bifurcated Girl." which Claxton Wilstach may well be proud to acknowledge having written. Eugene ORourke, a comedian of a type that suggests Peter F. Dailey. made a big hit in the bright little farce. "Parlor A," in which Nellie Kiting, as a young widow, and Jackson Hathaway, as the bellboy, also came in for full shares of the honors. The musical Kleists give an act consisting of a combination of mysticism, music, fancy club swinging and comedy that is entitled to rank as the greatest novelty of the season, Burton and Brookes opened the entertainment in a lively fashion with their witty dialogue. "A Quiet Evening at the Club." Johnny Carroll has lots of friends In this city and most of them were present yesterday afternoon to give him a cordial greeting and laugh uproariously at his funny monologue and his latest Irish pongs. "Jane. Jane. Jane." "The Mick th?t Sent the Tick." "I'll Pay for the Turkey's Seat" and a capital coon ditty entitled "Everybody Has a Whistle Like M.V Eotta Gladstone gave the best "country girl" monologue that has been heard here in a long time anil pleased greatly with hr catchy singing of "Way Down on the Farm" and "That's Mine." The HIson City Quartet is admirably equipped vocally, but the comedy part of their performance would better be eliminated, as it is the one Jarring note in an otherwise harmonious entertainment. Feature that added greatly to the general enjoyment were the attractive stage settings for the various act and the handsome gowns worn by the women. Miss IVArville. Miss Allen. Miss Kiting und Miss Gladstone. For the first time rince the Grand wa-t opened to vaudeville the moving pictures were thorotiRhly appreciated yesterday afternoon. The view of General Itell's mule, team swimming the Agno river. "I'pper Kicking Horse Canyon." "Diving throuqh Paper Hoops." "German Iancers in Action" and Cnptain IJoyton feeding hi pet sea lions were the finest yet shown. The picture. "Diving through Pai-r I loops." was reversed, showing the divers leaping from the water back tip to the platform, and created enthusiasm. Hartley ( ninpl'dl'i "Siberia." W. J.

tory, from a scenic standpoint, than the original could possibly have been. Park patrons were shown yesterday tiv pictures of such realism and beauty that .hey applauded vociferously In testimony of their appreciation of such evident efforts to please. Kvery patron of popular-priced theaters is familiar with the exciting story and thrilling incidents of "Siberia." but in th.s case familiarity seems to breed a desire for yet another view. From the play's reception yesterday it would seem that the Park should have booked it for a week instead of only three days. James Home ha3 the lea ling masculine role of Nicolai Nalgoff. and handles it with great ability. He is ably supiored bv I. It. Cooper as Ivan Nordoff. Nicolais friend; Harry Dalton as the governor general, and . V. Ranous a jra?off. flood comedy acting Is done bv Edgar Foreman as Michael Trolskv and Ju.ia West as Vera, a llower girl. The wi.men in the company are notably good players and of pleasing personal Jippearance. Fugenie Besserer as Sara, th heroine, and t lorence I.ytell as Marie, her sister, are above the average of actresses playing at popular prices. The Ma?. pictures that are received with the preatcst demonstrations of approval are th market place in the Jewish luartcr. the palace, the mine of Siberia and the harbor of Odessa. Altogether it may be truthfully said that the Park has one of the liest attractKrs of the present :cason. Certainly, no handsomer settings have been placed on its stag? thus far in the season. Mlm-o'd City C'luh" Company. One of the late Tom Miaco's burlesque shows, the City Club, with Fanny Everett as the star, returned to the Empire Theater yesterday to remain all week. The show since here last has undergone many changes. In its transformation suggestive lines have been eliminated. The piece begins with a burlesque, "Satan's Will, or the Garden of Eden," into which some comedy tinds its way and where the chorus renders several good selections. Fanny Everett assumes the role of lephisto. She is not as lithesome as in former years. Those who help to make the piece funny are George Whitman. Lizzie Davis and Dolph Levino. The olio is above the average and contains a number of very creditable acts, among them being Dolph and Susie Levino In a little comedietta in which Mr. Levino displays talent in caricaturing prominent men. This is done while Miss Susie Levino renders several good vocal selections with a voice that is pleasing. Theo, a female performer on musical instruments, is above the standard. One of the most daring and yet creditable acts is that of Cole and Delose In their acrobatic work. William Cole does some unkjue tricks on a slack wire, among them riding a bicycle. He also displays great muscular strength in balancing Mr. Delose while performing on the wire. Henley and Jarvls are well known to Empire patrons. The show closes with another burlesque, and a number of new acts are given. At the close each member of the chorus represents one of the present day pugilistic stars, and several burlesque boxing matches take place. .otes of the Slnr. The coming of that well-written and highly interesting: melodrama, "Two Little YaKrants," to the Park each reason is always the occasion for a series of exceptionally large audiences. The annual engagement will be played the tirst half of next week, beginning Monday afternoon. XXX "A Stranger In a Strange Land," the farce-comedy that Is coming to the Park Thursday afternoon, to remain the week out, is described as a delicious mixture of bright lines, comical incidents and ludicrous situations. A sprightly farce is always sure of a hearty welcome at the I'ark. XXX The presence of Chlquita, the wonderful midget, at the Zoo as an extra attraction brought a great crowd to the place last night. The little woman will be here the rest of this and all of next week, which will be the last of the present season. Everything at the Zoo will be packed up and shipped to Buffalo one week from next Monday. XXX A significant paragraph appeared recently in the London Daily Mail, as follows: "It Is an easy gibe to laugh at the dramatic taste of 'long-winded Germans,' as a celebrated dramatic critic did a few years ago. The significant fact is that the Germans who crowd theaters to see Ibsen and Hauptmann are proving our not unsuccessful rivals in every form of intellectual and commercial enterprise. There may be a connection between the fact that England has the most unintellectual theater in the world and other disquieting circumstances." xxx "The Idol's Eye," which will be presented at English's Opera House Thursday night and Saturday afternoon of the current week, is the exceedingly tuneful comic opera given here last year by Frank Daniels in -conjunction with his "Wizard of the Nile." The Boston Lyric Opera Company will also present other comic opera successes during their engagement, which will occupy the latter half of this week. De Wolf Hopper's brilliant success, "Wang." Fridav night, and Marie Tempest's weilrcmembered "The Fencing Master" Saturday night. xxx Theatergoers who shied at the name of Daniel Frohman's stock company and allowed themselves to miss seeing that great comedy, "Trelawney of the "Wells," two seasons ago, will scarcely be guilty of the same blunder next Monday and Tuesday nights, when another brilliant play, "Lauy Huntworth's Experiment," will be presented by the srfme company at English's Opera House. Tbe public not infrequently confounds Mr. Frohman's high-class organization with the! companies located in various cities and termed "stock companies." In fact, the New York company has absolutely nothing in common with such organlzatons. It is composed of the best players, who give performances to the most cultured and critical audiences that assemble in any New York theater. Fresh Air .Mission Tribute. A committee representing the Fresh Air Mission has prepared the following Harrison memorial: "In him duty was the dominating element of life. To do good to others, to use his great talents for the benefit of mankind, seemed to be of the essence of his nature. On his return to the simple life of a private citizen, he decided to devote a considerable part of his expected leisure to the gentle work of charity. He was a lover of children. He believed that the best charitable work was to be done with them. It seemed to him that society could do much more for children in the way of moral improvement than it could do for grown-up men and women, with characters made rigid by age and habit. "It was most natural and fitting that he should accept the presidency of the Fresh Air Mission for Sick Children, which he did on the 30th clay of April. holding the office until the time of his death From the tirst he showed the same zealous interest and labored with the same conscientious duty to the charity which he manifested in discharging more important duties of his great career. He spent many hours at the mission, studying the necessities of the sick children of the poor. He gave thoughtful consideration to such matters as arrangements for cooking, for bathing and for play. He made recommendations concerning the style of cribs to be purchased and of swings to be. used. He attended meetings of this board with regularity, and watched its finances with anxious care. It transpired that the leisure which he had expected in returning to private life, never came to him. He was soon overwhelmed with professional engagements of the highest importance, requiring of him ceaseless industry. Nevertheless, his business engagements never interfered, except when absent from the city, with his faithful performance of every duty in connection with this charity which his practical mind and tireless conscience suggested to him. We pay this simple tribute to his memory, as to one who loved his God and loved his fellow-man." Knight of the Mnceabee.

ANNUAL EASTER BALL

a ;hi;.t tiihox; i:tkutaim:i at M AEWEIK'liUll HALL. The Decoration n Pleasing; Feature of the OccnMion Personal ii nil Social .Vote. One of the most brilliant events of the closing social season was the annual Easter ball given last night at Maennerchor Hall, on East Washington street. In which over 1.000 persons participated. The guests on entering the entresol were struck with the beauty of the Oriental scene. Japanese lantern and fragrant flowers In profusion, with rich Oriental hangings and rugs, made an attractive and picturesque setting for the beautiful gowns of the women. The ballroom also presented a gorgeous spectacle. The walls on the west and north sides were hidden by landscape painting representing an Oriental garden. The rustic fence and pagoda were entwined with garlands of Japanese apple blossoms, and great baskets of the blossoms were placed in the corners of the hall and about the platform, which represented the entrance to the garden, with a picturesque castle in the background. In the garden and about the landscape were hung lighted Japanese lanterns, and from the ceiling, forming an oval, these lanterns were, also hung. The balcony railing and the space between the arches on the east side of. the hall were a mass of firebush or Japanese apple blossoms entwined with foliage. In each of the three arches above the balcony was a Japanese parasol, on each rib of which were tiny colored electric bulbs. Beneath the balcony the six arches were outlined with the tiny bulbs, and the lights also outlined the windows. In each of the windows a large basket of the firebush blossoms was placed, and great masses of them were used in the dining room on the tables, which were arranged to seat 300 guests at a time. Each table was adorned in the center with a large basket of firebush blossoms and at intervals were placed Bohemian vases filled with spring flowers daffodils and hyacinths.

The thirty-first annual commencement of the Medical College of Indiana, which constitutes the medical department of the University of Indianapolis, was held at English's Opera House last night. The class, though somewhat smaller than that of last year, was above the average numerically, there being forty-six graduates, six of whom are young women.- Those who composed this year's class are: Bonnie Odriscol Adams, Walter Clare Beall, Louis Berner, Cecil Augustine Butler, James Wllber Canaday, Charles Bunce Collins, Emma Collop, Effie Armllda Current, Mitchel Otis De Vaney, Emma Norrls Doying, Thomas Joseph Dugan, Edward Clinton Elder, Walter McBeth, John Wilbur MacCammon, Arthur James McCracken, Charles Albert McNeill, William Ellsworth Michael, William Louis Miller, William John Molloy, Rebecca Parish, Samuel lVarlman, William Ilerry Peterson, Blanchard Pettijohn.

Milton Madison "Well. Claudius Huron White, James Byron, Young. As on former occasions the commencement exercises were l&trgely attended, the opera house being so crowded that many were forced to stand In the aisles and in the rear of the seats during the whole evening. The class and faculty of the college occupied the entire floor space of the large stage, which was attractively deccrated with palms and evergreens. DR. GOBIN'S ADDRESS. The address of the evening was delivered by President miliary A. Gobln, D. D., of De Pauw University, his subject being: "The Physician as a Publicist." He said that historically considered, no profession contains more illustrious discoverers and inventors whose achievements have brought reliefs and blessings to the people than the medical profession. "No other profession does so much to reduce the very conditions by which it can reach the largest financial success," eald President Gobln. "The hardest fought battles in the progress of medicine have been to introduce preventive measures against contagion and epidemics whereby disease would be minified and the demand for medical services be reduced. The people would rather pay heavily for the pound of cure than to give a penny for the ounce of prevention. Tho profession has toiled patiently against this strange perverseness of the popular mind. It has wrought wonderful benefits for thoso who have received them not only ungratefully, but often with sullen protest and even with open violance." In speaking of the physician as a publicist President Gobin said he did not use the word "publicist" in its ancient meaning, but in the sense used by most modern writers in political science, which meant "one who is versed in, or writes upon, public affairs and anticipates Improvements to promote public comfort and thrift." The physician, he said, co-operates with every other profession Jn correcting the evils of society. Continuing, he said: "Not the least Important to the public is his service in exposing the frauds and impositions of cranks and charlatans who claim to heal by some occult or mystic power. No profession is so seriously embarrassed by brazen pretenders who easily impose upon the sick and feeble by their preposterous claims. I admire the courageous and, faithful physician who speaks out plainly and earnestly against all such imposters. They deserve bitter scorn and severe rebuke, because they approach their victims in the sanctimonious garb and platitudes of religion. It is not merely a duty to the profession to expose them. It is not simply a service to true religion to show their real nature. The chief motive constraining the physician to oppose them is that he is duty bound by obligations ot his calling to protect the, sick and infirm against all evils." OTHER FEATURES. The address on behalf of the board of trustees in conferring the degrees was delivered by Dr. G. W. H. Kemper, secretary of the board. Among the numbers of an excellent musical programme was a xylophone solo, "the Burgomaster," by Mr. TT. G. Leedy. and a number of vocal selections sang with pleasing voice by Mr. L. H. Colvln. acompanied by Professor A. Ernestinoff. Prior to the commencement exercises the graduates were informally banqueted at the Denlson Hotel by the faculty of the college.' Dr. Henry Jameson acted as toastmaster, and a number of the faculty, including Drs. Brayton. Wyn. Wishard and Kemper, responded to his call with brief Impromptu toasts touching upon the work and qualifications of the graduates. Dr. B. O. Adams, of Eaton, a member of the class, responded to the good luck toasts offered the class by the faculty. Pension for Yetermm.

NEW JURY LAW TRIED

IT WOHKS SlClisrH.LY IX TIIK m pi: in ok t onu s. Three IlamttKi Suit on Trial During the Day Proluite Court Appoint111 cut ft Other Court Ciiftc. For the tirst time since the new jury law went into effect, all the jury talesmen were used yesterday in Superior Court.' Boom No. 3. t'nder the new law two of the Superior Courts each drew twelve men and six talesmen, the six talesmen in each of the rooms to constitute a jury when the other two are iti use or are out deciding upon a verdict. The plan Is an improvement over the old way of selecting a new jury when it Is needed and yesterday very satisfactory service was rendered.

Conscience stricken and dejected, Albert M. Bishop, formerly of Noblesville, was taken from the recruiting station yesterday to Ft. Wayne, Mich., where he will be tried for desertion. Bishop came from Noblesville and enlisted in the army at the local recruiting station March 10, 1S11, and live months later deserted the army at Manila. He returned on a transport loaded with soldiers and arrived at San Francisco Sept. 7, less than a month after desertion. From San Francisco he went to Hot Springs, Ark., and was married there. About two weeks ago he came to the local recruiting station and surrendered himself, and he was held until the War Department Instructed that he be taken to Ft. Wayne for trial. Bishop tells a peculiar story of his desertion. He said he was uncofiscious at the time he stole away from' his regiment in Manila and boarded the transport. He emphatically declared he did not know what he was doing and could not tell how he managed to conceal his identity from the officers on board the transport that opened the avenue for escape. He said he was ill while on board and that it was this illness that caused him to be out of his head w hen he deserted. From San Francisco he went to IIot Springs, where a brother lives, and secured a position. Later he married and he has lived there ever since. According to Bishop's story his surrender was simply the result of a disturbed conscience. He said he could not sleep at night and that his desertion was a continual menace to his peace of mind. His brother and relatives, he said, also persuaded him to come to Indianapolis and give himself up. and, finally submitting to the dictates of his conscience and the pressure of persuading relatives, he came here to throw himself on the mercy of the War Department and take what punishment there might be in store for him. He did not seem to be much troubled at the recruiting station, for, after confessing, he said he felt much better and seemed as if he had lifted a great load from his mind. HEAVY LAND PURCHASE.
