Several of the f ped.nltles In the Grand Programm this week are above tho average, among them In iny Mary Norman, th society caricaturist; Kelly and Violett, slngetra and dancurs; "Taa Woman in White;" Weston, Greve anj Staats, rauslciam, and Carroll Johnnon, the minstrel man. The opening act. glvon by Charlos Harry and MUa Hulda Hairers, has little to commend It save Mr. Barry's grotesque dancimr. which 1 clover. Kelly and Violette received a round of applause, on their entry yesterday afternoon, for they are old favorites In Indianapolis. Roth have good voices and are grateful dancers and caketalkers. Mr. Kelly and ills Violette sang together a pleain? song, "Don't You Hear the Whistle Blow.' Kelly has a fine baritone voice, which waa heard In the new 'Jerusalem" ong. -The Gates That Are Never Uarred," and "The Honeysuckle and the Dee." a new love ballad. Miss Violette Kave the familiar coon sons, "I Wish I Was a White Man." The young woman's wardrobe deserves special mention on account of its richness and variety. She displayed four handsome costumes, two of which (the red and black dresses) caught the fancy of th audience und were applauded. Walz and Ardelle have a very thin sketch, entitled on tho programme, "An Kccentric Comely Creation." the best features of which ure Mr. Walz's Sinzing of the son. "A Sailor's Life." and Miss Ardelle-a "Z Perfect Lady" Son. Two of the trio. Duffy, Sawttlle and Duffv, the man and the woman, might be left out entirely but for the possible contingency that the little boy, who furnishes about all of the entertainment, might not be able to give hi clever monologue without the assistance of cues from hi3 parents. The lad Is about the cleveren that has been seen in vaudeville hre the present season. "The Woman In White" sins two Illustrated $onuTiu yuse,..of To Murh Trouble" and "The Picture Without a Frame " with success, due not to much to the excellence of her voice as to the unusual beauty of the colored views, which are th? best of the kind ever een here.

Two lare audiences of excellent tlze. considering the counter attraction of a circus, welcomed the return to theVark Theater yesterday of James II. Walllck's fine production of L! irior Merron's charming old rural comedy drama. "The Dairy Farm." Thi i one of the mot realistic productions attempted In a long time. The atmosphere of the period, which Is a short time tefore the civil war. Is preserved with remarkable rldellty. All the quaint characters of the piece are attired Ju-t as thu people were In tho.-e days, long gone by. An old mowlriK machine, said to have been patented In IV! I by Cyrus W.

Another bit of pleasing realism 1? the bit? Oog Caesar, indu triou.!y working an oldfashioned treadmill churn. There, are four scenes In the play the dairy farm on July -'. lsl; Christmas eve at the farm in the frame year: a street In Old Hurley m the day before 4-the preirie?itial election, Nov. lOi. and thr auction in the sitting-room of the homestead on the farm. The street sc-ne at election time is very exciting and Interesting. One of the characters perpetrates a rousing stump .-peech. and a young woman dashes down the street, mounted on i real horse. The tory of "Th Dairy Farm" Is well written, and full of striking incidents and situation.-. The "free so'l" i.-u- of is cleverly employed to add to th flavor of naturalness. The company presenting the play at the present engagement is the same that was seen here a few weeks ago. Tho members have evidently ben selected by Mr. Walllck with grat care, as they, almost without exeentlon. enact their parts

with skill and discrimination. Some of the familiar names in the cast are Mae M. Harnes, Sarah Ward, John Milton. Grace Hopkins. Katherine Carlisle. Theodore Rook. Georue Lockwond. Charles Coon.

X The idea that prevails to ?ome extent concerning David Belasco's play "Zaza," in which Mrs. Leslie Carter Is to be seen at English's to-morrow and Thursday nights, that It Is entitled to distinction solelv because of the passionate scene in the fourth act. Is declared to be a grave error by those who have witnessed the production. The entire play is said to be of hlgn class and thoroughly enjoyable. XXX Grand patrons showed their appreciation last week of Manager Myer's engagement of the great musical trio, the Dumonds, by lining the theater at almost every performance. Reciprocating this treatment. Mr. Myers has secured the famous cornet virtuoso. Jules Levy, whose reputation takes In Europe and America, for next week.

RIGHTS OF THE INSANE !

A X IMEHKSTIN IILMISIOX MY Jl'UtiH LEATHERS. Those "Who Dejil with Innane l'rmnn Mnt A mm ti me the Risk Other Court Cime. In overruling a demurrer yesterday Judge Leathers held that the law protects Insane persons and that he who deals with them Ines so at his peril. The ruling was In the suit of the Indiana Trust Company, guardian of Margaret Vandeventer, a person of unsound mind, against Charles Davis and George Selbert, agent for the Cincinnati Brewing Company, to set aside a conveyance and for possession of property. The complaint says that Mrs. Vandeventer was the owner of a taloon and fixtures at 'CI East Washington street. It is alleged that she sold the saloon and fixtures to John Holohan and Edward Means when she was of unsound mind, for a small consideration, loiter Holohan and Means sold out to Charles Davis and Davis transferred the place to Selbert, as an agent of the Cincinnati Brewing Company. Soon after the trust company was appointed guardian of Mrs. Vandeventer suit was brought against the defendants for possession of the property and to set aside the conveyance. The property Is valued at fcvtt. The demurrer to the complaint set up the plea that the plaintiff offered no restitution to the defendants for the return of the property. Judge leathers held that that was nof necessary. He said that a contrary doctrine would allow persons to speculate on the misfortunes of the afflicted and that Justice requires that he who deals with the Insane does so at his own risk, except when It Is necessary to furnish necessities. He also held that the defendants' demand for restitution should be made upon the grantors who sold them the property. A Street I'avliitr Cnse. The street piving case of Sarah A. Hibben against William C. Smith, that has been In litigation several years, was revived yesterday in the Supreme Court by the filing of a brief for Mrs. Hibben. The appellant owns a vacant lot on the north side of Washington street, Just east of National avenue, in Irvington, that is assessed at $l,40 and other lots assessed at 31, 30. Mrs. Hibben sued for an injunction, forbidding the town board of Irvlngton to let the contract for improving the street in front of her lots, which suit Is still pending In the local Superior Court. When the improvement was linlshed the contractors sued and recovered a Judgment against Mrs. Hibben, from which she prosecuted the present appeal to the Supreme Court. Her attorneys attack the constitutionality of the Barrett law In face of the fact that the court has frequently held It sound. They urge further that, aside from the question of constitutionality, the town ordinance authorizing the improvement was Invalid since It gave property owners no chance to be heard on the question cf actual special benefits. The rule that one Is estopped from denying his liability for the value of Improvements of which ho tnjoys the benefit Is sought to be avoided by showing that Mrs. Hibben never has had and never will have any benefit from the Improvements. The existence of her injunction suit In Superior Court indicates that she did not acqulerce in the laying of the pavement. The outcome of the case is awaited with Interest. Ilemovnl of City Officers. The question whelher nn officer of n city may be removed at the pleasuru of the Council is involved in tho cases of Wlhon H. Bunn and Maurice Pelffer against Mnnuei M. Fisher, mayor, and the Common Council of Mlshawaka, fled on appeal In the Supreme Court yesterday afternoon. The appellant were policemen of Mlshf.wuka. Ind., duly qualified and hud given bond as such, and on the 4th day of March. lil, were removed by tho appellees by a mujorlty vote, but less than two-thirds. They nitd a petition In the Circuit Court demanding that the mayor and Common Council be compelled by mandate to prefer charges, give them notice, grant them a hearing and allow them to defend In person und by counsel before they should oust them from ofllce. The appellant are represented by ex-Supveme Judge Timothy E. Howard, and by E. A. Howard, prominent attorneys of South Bond. The attorneys cite sections of the statutes and decided case tending to show that the police officrs should have been accorded a heurlng In the manner outlined in the application for a writ of mandate. Bucket Shop Cne In Federal Conrl. A demurrer was filed In the United 3tatwS Court yesterday in the suit of James Boyce & Son against the O'Dcll Commission Company of Mundo. The suit Is to recover funds alleged to have been lout In investments with this company. The demurrer was filed by the attorneys for the defendants to the amended complaint of the plaintiffs. The suit was founded on the statute that gives a person the rlRht to recover money lost on any game. If the attempt to recover Is made within six months after the money Is lost. A brier filed with the demurrer insists that the statute does not give a right of action to any person who may lose money at any gambling or wagering contracts, and It Is further claimed that th. term, "betting on a game," used In the statute docs not Include a mere wager on the price of commodities. 1 A Ileorlver Appointed. John P. Ieyondeckr was yesterday appointed receiver of the firm of Griffith & Welman, manufacturers of baking machinery, by Judge Leathers. Griffith filed the petition for the appointment of a receiver on the ground that he did not have access to the books of the firm and that Welman refused to use funds belonging to the company to pay the employes. He says Welman was to pay $3.000 Into the concern when It was organized and was to take charge of the books and receive no salary, but should share In the profits. He avers that Welman credited himself with salary and refused him access to the accounts. Hit; Police Court Slate. There were 1:10 cases called in Police Court yesterday morning, one of tho heaviest days for some time. Twenty on the slate were women, and the remainder were made up of the usual arrests for drunk, loafing, assault and battery and gambling. The thirty-four colored gamblers who were arrested In the Buffalo saloon, at No. otX Indiana avenue, at 1 ei'clock Sunday morning, were arraigned, but their cases were continued until to-morrow. It is said that this la the largest number of men ever arrested in raiding one gr mbllng house in Indianapolis. Two Divorce Complain tu. Lizzie J. Tinsley yesterday .brought suit against her husband, John Tinsley, for divorce, after having lived with him for twenty-four years. She alleges that he treated her cruelly, was abusive, and on April '2X the day of their separation, pulled her hair, wounded her wrist find threw her against a partition. Mary Jones, another divorce complajnant, tiled suit against her husband, John Jones. They lived together but two months, according to the complaint. She alleges that he was abusive to her every day fur live successive weeks. HU M for ii Mnn'i Life. Henry S. Osgood, administrator of the estate of Thomas Holmes, yesterday brought suit again.-t 'the Big Four Railway for $lit.otO damages. Holmes was killed In the Shelby-street yards, where he had been employed as an assistant fireman on a locomotive but three days. The complaint alleges that a car was negligently left standing so near the frog of a switch that when the engine on which Holmes was riding tried to pass the side of the cab on which he was sitting was struck and he was killed. Dairyman Stole n KU. Jennie Hatfield yesterday dismissed her suit against Charles M. McClellan for mo damages for stealing a kiss, that ha been pending in Judge Carter's court for

Appellant's reply brief (3), REFUSED A QUESTIONER. HvanKclUt Jiick Cooke Would 'ot Hear 111m Statement. A fair-sized crowd was present last night in Merldlan-strcet Church to hear Jack Cooke, the boy evangelist. The greater part of tho audience was composed of women. After the conclusion of the song service the audience was nsked to submit questions In writing, touching on some biblical quotation for the youthful preacher to answer. When the reading of these had been disposed of there arose in one cf the front pews a man of stalwart build who spoke clearly and asked his question in a loud tone. All eyes were Immediately turned on the speaker and a murmur couli be heard throughout the large edifice. The rpaker was dressed In the conventional black of a clergyman and wore a Roman collar. He was not allowed to finish his uutfstlon as Jack Cooke and his brothor refused to notice the speaker and he was forced to sit down amid the smiles of tho audience. When questioned as to his Identity the speaker merely said he was a Roman Catholic priest from New York and was in the West on a trip for his health. He refused to give his name, but said he belonged to St. Patrick's parish in the metropolis. He further explained that he was here for a few days waiting for a companion. Father Cann, also of New ork. after which the two would Journey to Peoria, 111. The unknown priest was much astonished nt the refusal of Cooke to allow him to submit a question. The evangelist somewhat irritated hi. hearers last night when he asked that all those professing to be Christians stand up and receive his blessing whica. lie saio. was direct from God. A great many in the church refused to stand, and both Jack and his brother used very caustic language toward those who desired to remain in their seats. The meetings will be held throughout the week. ASSAULT RESULTS IN DEATH. Jamea II. Clark Lout a Diamond and Waa Injnred Several Daya Ago. Because a diamond stud was missing when James H. Clark, of 718 West Twelfth street, was taken home Injured several days ago, his wife believes his death, which resulted Sunday, was due to an arsault for the purpose of robbery. II ; was. Injured at Archie Greathouse's saloon on Indiana avenue, and at the time It was said by Dispensary doctors and the police who investigated that he had laller. dowti stairs. He was unconscious rnos; of the time, and when rational was unab- to tell anything of bow he was hurt or what became of his diamond. He was formerly an umbrella lealer on Indiana avemi. he funeral will be this afternoon l 1 Velock. Detectives Holtz and Wallace, who have also looked into the case, said last night there was In tlulr opinion little cause to believe Clark was assaulted or robbed. Will Pay lf:WMl,tMM of Stnte Debt. State Auditor Hart announced yesterday that the State debt will be reduced $3CO.0) by July 1, the payment being one of the largest made In a long time. At the rate the lebt has been reduced during the past five years It will not last much longer than through the present gubernatorial administration. Captain Hart yesterday paid $S.7J5 of interest on the Zi per cent, school refunding bonds, series of lv5, to the following banks, holders of the

bonds: Franklin Savings Bank. New York, $1,750; Rocnester Savings Bank. Rochester, 51,7X0; Seaman's Bank for Savings. NewYork. $1.050; Greenwich Savings Bank. New York, $3.65a. and the Port Chester Savings Bank, of Port Chester. N. Y., $5-i. It was the semi-annual interest payment on the bonds, which are not due until 1015 anl cannot be canceled before that time, because the State has no option to pay the bonds off sooner.

sickness of babes. A Physician Tlilnka that Timely Hints Are in Order. "There Is a great hullabaloo being raised because a Gypsy mother out in Hammond's Grove is suspended of murdering her babe," said a well-known physician, last night, "but how many people are thinking that summer Is almost on us, tho period when infants die by scores from ignorant neglectfulness which, so far as results are concerned, is quite as fatal as murder. One of the most fruitful sources of infantile disorders is the milk that they imbibe, either from a bottle or from the mother's breast. In the systematic analysis of cow's or mother's milk the physician possesses the very best means of saving many an infant's life. A little excess of fat in the milk will cause diarrhoea, whJIe an excess of casein may be responsible for many a case of constipation or colic. When a baby does not seem to thrive or suffers from obscure gastro-intestinal trouble, the milk should at once be analyzed, for very likely the fat. casein or other elements are not properly proportioned on account of the health of the being from which the milk was drawn. A fatigued, worried or grlefFtricken mother, or one with dyspepsia, cannot supply milk that is wholesome. Sometimes a mother that is, to all outward appearance, perfectly well will not have milk that is wholesome. "When the child Is fed on cow's milk, that fluid may also be found to be deficient In quality. Pasteurization, about which we hear so much nowadays, will destroy all germs, but cannot Improve the quality of the milk If that is below normal. Only physicians and nurses of experience can fully appreciate the Importance of having the fats .and albuminoids projerly adjusted according to the age and digestive strength of the babe. "The summer season, when babes die by the thousand, is on, us right now and anything which can be done to lessen infant sickness and mortality should be done quickly. In the State of Delaware a wise Legislature has provided a laboratory of hygiene, which Is directed by the State Board of Health. That body has issued to the general public a circular giving valuable advice on the subject of preventing infantile summer eliscases and is prepared to make, free of charge, analyses of milk for the people and give advice as to how to properly feed infants." CITY NEWS ITEMS. Dr. William S. Beck returned yesterday, after a trip or several days through tho Northwest. Owing to the sudden death of Miss Mary L.

It 13 a happy time for me to come to Lynchburg now the war over, no exchange of greetings with shot and shell, as then, but with the friendly welcome of all the people which typifies the respect and regard and good will which subsists between all sections of our common country." The biggest and noisiest demonstration of the day occurred at Roanoke, Va. Thousands of people wero at the station and two bands greeted the President with "Hall to the Chief." There were more American flags In evidence hero than at any other stopping place. SPEECH ON TRADE EXPANSION. The President responded to the call for a speech with the following remarks: "1 urn Informed, and do not wonder at It. that your committee which was to extend me a welcome to Roanoke has been lost In this great crowd, but there can be no vuirmcr or more sympathetic welcome than greets me from the hearts of your people. I congratulate the citizens of this city on Its marvelous growth and progress. Twtnty years ago, I am told. 'ou lyd less than a thousand people In this community. Von have more than 2i,( now. Wo nevtr luvl so much to do In all our history as we have now. We never had so much businesH at home nor abroad. We never made so much and never sold so much us we sell this year. We are expanding our markets. Our productive capacity has become so great that we are not only able to supply tho home markets, but we require a foreign market for our surplus and we are seeking the open door In the Orient for the products of American soil and American labor. What we want to do now Is to be prudent In our prosperity, save while we can and be strong If the storms should come; und they do now and then. Whatever comes let i.s be fortified by the practice of economy while we are all so well employed. We are not only expanding ur markets, but we are expanding our territory. The policy of the United States ,uts always been to keep what It originally started with and hold all It honorably gets. We refused to divide our original possessions and we will be the last to desert our new possessions." Secretary Hay was called upon and responded as follows: "It Is great pleasure to all of us to be In Virginia on the soil of the Old Dominion, and to feel that It Is now, ns It has leen for so many generations, the home of the most patriotic of our American citizens. Forty years ago In the years of W;j to 1MVJ I. In common with many thousands of other young men. bad a great desire to travel In the State of Virginia, but I was prevented by circumstances over which I bad ne control. Those circumstances were dressed In grey uniforms and had a habit of standing very steady and shooting very straight, so that we were prevented from seeing as much of the State as we should have liked. I am glad to come again In my old age and to find that every hand stretched out Is the hand of a friend, every voice we bear Is a brother's voice, .all fwnlng the same religion, revering the Constitution, following the same t!ag and pressing forward to the same cheerful destiny." The President and his party will keep In close touch with Washington throughout the trip to California, and every facility has been arranged to transact such business as is necessary from the train. The railroad officials In charge of the train and the various divisions over which It passed took every precaution to guard agaln.-t the possibility of a mishap of any character. The track, switches and bridges were all carefully Inspected just before the train reached a given station; everything on the road, passenger as well as freight, was sidetracked, and over the Norfolk & Western Railroad to-day a pilot train ran ahead of the presidential special. All the train crews on the sidetracks lined up and uncovered as the chief magistrate went by. All the members of the party enjoyed, the first day of their trip, and the President expressed his gratification over the reception he had received. Mrs. McKinley, who was not feeling particularly well when the train started, became better as the day progressed, and to-night said she had enjoyed It all very much. To-morrow the train will make brief stops at Huntsvllle, Decatur and TuscumbU. Ala., and Corinth, Miss. Memphis, where the party will remain until midnight, will be reached at 1:30 p. m.

It ii just as easy to drift into clacer as to drive into it. The progress is slower but the end is eoually sure. It is the gradual progress of drifting which blinds to the danger. Men and women drift into ill-health in such a way. There is a little feeling of oppression after eating. After a time it passes away. Some day it returns and brings another symptom headache, perhaps. Something is done to relieve the headache, but nothing to relieve the cause. So one more victim goes drifting on to the rocks of disease. Young women who are teaching or studying are very apt to become victims of disease of the stomach. They eat injudiciously, in some cases, and in general the brain is too occupied to allow the stomach the blood necessary to cany on its functions. Hence in time the organs of digestion and nutrition are totally deranged, and the young graduate goes home a chronic invalid. The timely use of Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery w ill avert such a condition ; the faithful use of it in chronic cases will effect a complete cure. ' I wai troubled with very frequent headaches, often accompauied by severe vomiting," writes Miss Mary Belle Summerton. of San Diego. Duval Co., Texas. "Ilowel were irregular and ray stomach and liver seemed continually out cf order. Often I could tat almost nothing, and sometimes absolutely uothing. for twenty-four hours at a time.
