Patrons of the Grand will be sorry to learn that the week opening to-morrow afternoon Is to be the last of the present vaudeville season at the Grand Opera Iou?e. Manager Anderson expresses himself as highly gratlned with the way the people of Indianapolis nave made successful his experiment in conducting a strictly vaudeville theater In thU city. In the twenty weeks of tin.: season thero has not teen a single losing week recorded. Mr. Anderson's pleasure has been heightened by the excellent character of both matinee and night audiences. Th term "fashionable" vaudeville has proved correct, sinco the best people of the city have given their hearty approval of the clean form of entertainment offered. During tho summer months the music halls and vaudeville theaters of Europe will bo visited for novelties to be introduced here next season. For the last week of the season, opening to-morrow afternoon, nine new acts, differing from other bills, will be offered. Encouraged by the success that high-class music has met with In Indianapolis, Jules Levy, the premier cornetist of the world, lias been engaged to head this week'H programme. M. Levy will render a number of t-clectlons that are sure to please gTeatly. Jl'ilph Johnson is declared to he one of the. greatest athletic sensations ever shown In vaudeville. He riles down from great heights on a b, cycle with apparent ease and escapes serious injury, and does other trlek.H that are nlfflcult and astonishing In the extreme. The legitimate dramatic eketch will he furnished by Willard Simms and Miss Almee Angeles, who have an absurdly funny comedy entitled "Flinder's Furnished Flats." Mis.s Bessie Lamb, a Bweet-voleed vocalist, will be heard in a lepertory of agreeable songs. Charles and Minnie Sa-Van are a duo of daring acrobats, whose performance is mot exciting and interesting. A pair of clever entertainers are Talbot and Davidson, tenor and taritone comedians, who have an amusing operatic travesty entitled "John De Elsky and Henry Ir-Vln." They introduce com'c songs, burlesque drama ami burlesque operatic duets. The Marinellas are European gymnasts who present a novelty entitled "The New School of Physical Culture." The last wcck of the biograph is promised to be one of its best. The first view shown will be the Nan-Kin road, Shanghai, depicting traffic anil a body of Indian Sikh jndice In the British service. The war in China will be shown in some old Junks enKaged In contraband opium trade on tho shore of the Fei-Ho rier after the battle. A tine picture is Musko-ka wharf, the point of embarkation for the enchanting Muskoka lakes district, the "highlands" of Ontario, Canada. The Atlantic City tire department Is shown In rtspondins to an lärm. Another Illustration of the war in China is shown in the furious charge of Captain Relllys I.Uht Bitury E. Fifth .Artille-y, to take position for the bombardment of the ites of the iniivrlal city of J'eklng. A view of the .second inauguration of McKinley will be shown, giving a snapshot picture of President McKinley and party or their way to the Capitol. "Tm;j.el No. U" furnishes a beautiful panorama rn the line of the l'nio:i Pacific Kailroad. There will be three excellent comic pictures. l'errlV Comedlntift Week.

The company of twenty-five Include ten vaudeville performers, a fact that will bo heartily appreciated by lovers of good specialties. Th Ferris programme is divided into two branches vaudeville and dramatic. After each act of the drama one or more vaude

ville features are offered, thus doing away with the Intermission. To-morrow afternoon the engagement will open with a performance of Oliver Doud Byron's comedy drama, entitled "The Plunger." The piece will be correctly mounted with handsome special scenery. It will be repeated tomorrow and Tuesdey nights and Tuesday afternoon.

During the summer months the auditorium of the Grand Ojera House will undergo a thorough cleaning and renovation In anticipation of the annual vaudeville opening the latter part of August or the early portion of September. XXX The well-know n and popular dramatic organization known as the Holden Brothers' Dramatic Company has been secured byManager Fred C. Dickson for a week's engagement at the Park Theater, beginning Monday, May 13. Plays of enduring merit, such as "East Lynne" and "Camille," will be given adequate presentation. XXX Patrons of English's Opera House will be favored with two of the strongest attractions of the season during the week opening Monday, May 13. Tuesday night. May H. Jolly May Irwin and her tine company will pres-e.it the' latest bit of Irwinesque farce, entitled "Madge Smith. Attorney." In which Miss Irwin will be jeen to better advantage than ever before. Wednesday right. May is the date of the long-anticipated engagement of Nat C. Goodwin. Maxino Elliott and their carefully selected supporting company In Klavv & Erlanger'S sumptuous revival of "The Merchant of Venice." The season at English's will be brought to a close of unwonted brilliance by the single engagement of the famous stellar triumvirate, Otis Skinner, Sarah Le Moync and Eleanor Ilobson, the night of May 24 in Uobert Browning's dramatic fragment In blank verse, entitled "In a Balcony," for which settings of the most beautiful kind have been provided by Llebler S: Co.. whose name is a sulficlcnt guaranty of an artistic production. Preceding the Brownin drama. W. It. Yates picturesque fairy play. "The Land of Heart's Desire," will be given as a "curtain raiser." A special company has been assembled for the adequate presentation of this beautiful piece, and the. Lleblers have also been at great expense in providing for It a special scenic mounting. xxx flic Slnue In Other Plnce.

"The Importance of Being In Earnest." "Gudgeons." "Frederick Lemaltre" and a new plav called "IVArcy of the Guards," by Louis Evan Shipman. Mr. Miller will probably star in the latter play next season. xxx William A. Brady, who has gained both fame and fortune as a promoter of llstlc contests and theatrical enterprises of unusual magnitude, is reported to be ambitious to rival Barnum & Bailey, Sells Brothers, the Wallaces and all other noted circus men, and with that end in view is negotiating for the purchase of the famous Ilagenbcck wild animal exhibition in Hamburg, Germany. xxx Howard Hall will be starred next season in his own melodrama, "The Man who Dared," under the management of Charles E.

Hackett's statuesque leading woman, has allied herself with Longley Taylor for a vaudeville engagement to begin next month. They will present a sketch entitled "The Arion Ball." from the pen of the versatile Willard Holcomb, who resigned early in the present season his position as advance man for the Liebler production of Joseph Arthur's "Lost Hiver." and who has in the interim turned out a marvelous number of successful vaudeville sketches, besides accepting a few days ago a reengapement from Liebler & e;o. to go ahead of tho Skinner-LeMoyne-Robson production of "In a Balcony."

A MAN." There is no answer. But the fact remain that it is so. Women lawyers, women doctors, women novelists, women this, that and the other things invariably appear In public prints with as little clothes on as possible. P rhaps it H because they think that they look best so.' It is a good sign. It shows thut the particular trade, profession or calling of the individual has nothing to do with the ease.

A man of genius is likely to be slovenly In his attire, a woman of genius never The same ride holds In the case of the women who are merely clever.

AMPHION CLUB CONCERT

last rnofiiiAMMi: op the season V Till H OIMiAMZ ATION. Some Noted SoIoiM Will He llrnrdVnrluti Church I'roKrn m nie Muleal Noten. The last of the more important mu?Ical events of the present season is the eoncert to be given by the Amphion Club, In the auditorium of tho German House, Friday night, May 10. The concert will be in the nature of a song recital, In which the thirty voices of the club will form a rich musical background for the two soloists, Herr Joseph S. liaernstein, basso, and Miss Eva Jeffries, alto. The programme will be found as interesting and attractive as any ever presented by a musical society. Never before has the. organization of enterprising young men devoted its energies and talent to the preparation of its pärt of a programme, as has been done for the forthcoming concert. Neither time, nor pains, nor expense has been spared In making perfect every detail necessary to a fullyrounded, brilliant event. Frequent rehearsals have been held under the able leadership of Professor Lrnestinoff during tho past two months, and the young men naturally feel confident that their efforts will be appreciated by their friends and patrons. The more pretentious numbers rendered by the Amphion Club will be Kegar's "The Army in tho Desert." and Gilchrist's admirable cantata, "The Legend of the Iiendcd Low." With Herr llaernsteln taking the solo parts, the club will also render Xcvln's "Toreador" and tho popular and rollicking "Stein Song," by Uullard. Tho latter selection is a favorite the country over from the fact of its having been adopted by many college glee clubs. Herr Joseph S. Uaernstcin will be tho principal soloist of the concert. His portion of the programme will be in itself, a complete recital. No singer In recent years has aroused the enthusiasm among local musicians that he did on the occasion' of his lirst appearance with tho Amphion Club, at tho opening of the present season. Jle came as a stranger, and by sheer force of musical merit and personal magnetism won a place in the hearts of the Indianapolis musical public that might be envied by any artist. The announcement of Herr Itaernstein's appearance, next Friday night, with the Amphion Club, has caused more com-, ment and pleasant anticipation than that of any other singer this season. Aa an Interpreter of ih'der he stands first of all American vocalists. He Is gifted with the power of a Clifford and the force of a Ludwig, combining these attributes with a smoothness that is perfect. Tho Schubert and Schumann group will afford Herr Uaernstcin an opportunity to display his consummate skill. Tho management of the Amphion Club has made a uniform rrlce of admission to the concert, U for any scat In the auditorium. The sale of seats will open Wednesday. May 8. at tha music store of Carlin Xr Lennox. The complete programme of the concert follows: "Thc'Army In the Desert" Ilegar The Amphion Club.

Music Anten. John Philip Sousa has been made an olKccr of the French Academy. John Dunsmurt, tho line basso of tho Dostonians, vnl continue with that orgam 73tIon another season, after which he intends to study for grand opera. Mendelssohn's one-act operetta, "Sond and Stranger," written when the composer was twenty yearn of age, will be given on the vaudeville stage next season by Homer Llnd and his little company. "Florodora" has proven so successful at the New York Casino that it will run during the entire summer. Next season Ine'lanapolls opera lovers will doubtless hav3 an opportunity to hear this latest marvel of tunefulness. Mr. W. II. Donley will begin a series of recitals in Memorial Church, May 21. The programme for the recitals will contain most of the noted novelties for organ which Mr. Donley will play at the PanAmerican Exposition. Wagner's compositions were to have become public property in 1913, but a bill has been prepared on invitation of the Prussian government, prolonging the copyright held by the publishers of the music rifty vears alter the great composer's death, whicn will make it expire In llttJ. A federation of singing societies is being crsanized in Germany to offer annual prizes to composers of the est folk songs. Emperor William suggested the project aiiu h?.s offered $10.0e) toward the fund. German singing societies in America are inited to Join in the federation. Harold Lauer, the eminent piano virtuoso, who created much enthusiasm by his bril liant work with the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra several months ago, has recently hnished a triumphal tour of Holland. He gave three recitals in Paris last month, and at the end of the month appeared at the great festival In London. A glance at the programme of the Amphion Club concert, g'iven elsewhere In this department, will show that the work of playing the accompaniments for such an elaborate event calls for the greatest ability. The regular accompanist of the club is Prof. Paul Teichert, whose name has come to be indissolubly associated with the success of Amphion Club concerts. Arthur Farwell. an instructor in Cornell University, recently gave a practical demonstration that the North Amcricin Indian has been belittled in a musical way. He gave a host of Indian songs, playing the accompaniments on the piano, and surprised his auditors with a revelation of beauty, grace and delicacy that they had never suspected to be characteristics of Indian music. He took the ground that the songs of the savages are the audible expressions of their communings . with nature The pupils of Mr. Walter S. Sprankle. assisted by the pupils of Mr. Walter IT. Tuttle. will give their closing recital Wednesday evening. May $, at the German Hous. An elaborate programme will be given.

William (nldxvell, ,1P., Writes from Berlin to II In Parents Here. Dr. W. Hampton Caldwell, of this city, has received the following interesting let ter from his twelve-year-old son, William Caldwell, jr., who Is attending: school in Berlin, Germany: "My Dear Parent I hope you managed to get some one who understood German to translate my attempts at tho language. As yet I cannot understand very much German, but I hope in three or four months to be able to niako myself under stood "The palace of the Kaiser is very beaut! rui although very old. The beauty is greatly spoiled by tho color of the building, which is a dark slate, it was built In 1740 by Frederic the Great and has not been changed since that earlv date. A coat of paint would greatly Increase Its beauty, for It now looks like a dismantled fortress instead of the palace of one of the greatest rulers on earth. Around It lie many smaller palaces, those of dead kings, for a castle is not opened for thirty years after the death of the ruler. Last Sunday I went to Potsdam, a small place about forty miles from Berlin and containing about 5S.OU0 inhabitants. Here are the castles in which the Emperor spends the summer In the country. Near, on the top of a high hill, is the famous castle 'Sans Soucl,' a French word signifying without a care, which was erected by Frederic the Great for a summer home. I went all through the castle and saw everything, which is Just as it was when it was left by that famous monarch. In one corner of the room in which he died Is a beautiful statue representing him in his last moments. All tne rooms are very handsome. Thero is' one thing I cannot understand and It is why an admission fee Is charged, which though very small. belnff only 6 odd cents or 25 pfennig, is one just the same. Now in America any thing of interest and belonging to the state would be free. Although this is a small amount it shows the greediness, if I may call it, of the country. Also here tho Kmperor Frederic was buried in the mauseleum. "The other day I had the pleasure of seeing a fire company on Its day to an swer a call. They went about as fast as if on a pleasure drive and seemed to be in no hurry. In America you notice every man in a hurry to get to the place. but here they take things as they come and 1 saw several of the firemen calmly sitting and lixing their mustaches, which all Germans are so proud of. The manner In which the Kmperor wears his mustache Is followed by most every one. One wonders how they manage to get them up to such a position, but the mustache is placed in proper position and then held there through the night by a mask which is worn. The monacle, or one-eye glass, is worn here, although it is not much seen in America. It is considered very bad manners to whistle on the street and the Kuropeans think wc are barbarians because we do it. I find it very hard to break myself of the habit and 1 constantly catch myself whistling. "The streets here are not laid out evenly, but run in every direction and subdirection. They are paved with cobblestones or asphalt. "Our butter here is of a whitish color and contains no salt. I would give almost anything for a pat of good yellow butter. But what they leave out on the color they put in on the strength of the cheese, which is here used for blasting purposes and is Intended to have cheese guns made (that Is not puns made of cheese, but guns In which cheese will be used as the explosive), and it is thought that cheese will entirely supersede powder. "Kvery one of the larger stores have Knglish-speaklng people connected with their establishments and most every one speaks a little Kngllsh. One, however, seldom sees the British flag out. always the American. Tho English people are not such travelers as we Americans and do not use their money so freely. The Germans seem to think us the best people in the world, after them, which is of course quit, right. "The mother of the present Kmperor is the daughter of Queen Victoria, so the Kaiser, or Kmperor, is half Kngllsh. It is saii he speaks our language without an accent. , " ' "There is a great hatred of the Jews here in Kurope and they must become soldiers as the rest, but they cannot become officers. So, you see. they must work without hope of promotion, which. every gentile has. This seems unfair. "Once a year all the German generals in Germany are required to come to Berlin, where, with the diplomats, they are received by the Kmperor. The Guard also turns out on this day and it Is a most beautiful sight (one to be long remembered, as the richlv caparisoned and finest drilled troops in the world swing arouna the corner, with the band playing. Although the Germans recognize In this song words of praise to the Kaiser. I heard just as plainly in the metre of the music the grand old hyn. "America.'" The tune of the hymns of the three greatest countries of earth are the same. After this came the noblemen arv diplomats from their audiences with his Majesty. The gala carriages, which are only taken out on this occasion, are magninee:nt. All carriages had four or five white-wigsed -and powdered footmen. The American minister's carriage was very handsome, and the prevailing colors were blue and white. It was notable that it had no coat of arms as others, but the seal with the American eagle perched on the olive branch and arrows. It was Just as pretty as the rest of them, which was more than 1 expected, as it Is said we do not pay our ministers enough to keep up diplomatic etiquette. Mark Twain, in speaking of the American legation. Fays: In return for game they furnished corned beef; for whale, sardines: for wines, coffee: for champagne, lemonade: for the regiment of powdered flunkeys, the hired girl, and for sumptuous decorations, they draped the stove with the American flag. "The Germins are now taking a census, and it is said that Kmperor William signed his own blank, giving s his business, Kmperor of Germany and King of Prussia. "The Germans are fresh-air fiends, and the rooms they live in would freeze any American. They also do not like cold drinks as we do. and milk is always taken hot. Germany i a very behlnd-the-times country, and has still the old windmills, canals and canal boats and gabled roofs as In the olden times. The houses are all profusely ornamented, but this grows monotonous in a very short time. - "On Sunday afternoon I went riding In the new forest, where the Emperor hunU. '

"The Question of transportation Is solved in many ways, as the many cabs and carriages (in which you pay by mechanical regulation so you cannot bo cheated), the elovated railway, horse cars and vans, with seats on top and without the heavenly .eats, electric vans and trolley and cable ears, and now an underground tunnel is being built. Tho fare on the trolley and vans Is 10 pfennig or 2 cents. So many ns the seats will comfortably accommodate (very comfortably generally), and four are allowed on tha platform and no more can Ret on under any condition. The conductor sells you a ticket, and thin it Is necessary for you to hold, for If the inspector comes he demands to be shown your ticket, and if you have not it, it is necessary to buy a new one or you will be put off.

The .Newly 3Iude Product Is Store DiBestlblc than Any Other. Dietetic Magazine. When we think of the thousands of tons of this product of the dairy that are annually consumed, and of the shiploads of it that are imported, the question of its di gestibility and wholesomeness looms up as an important one. It has been adopted as a part of the array ration, every grocer and provision dealer makes it an important item on his list of standard food products, and nearly every family has it occasionally If not constantly on the table. That it is nutritious, that is, that it is chemically rich in the proteids, hydrocarbons and "calorics" no one can dispute. All the analyses and food tables agree as to that. That nine-tenths of all-that Is consumed is positively unfit to be introduced Into the human stomach and may bo charged with its share in the productioTi of a nation of dyspeptics could no doubt be proven by proper investigation. What is the matter with the cheese? Simply this, that it has come to be an almost universal belief that coagulated casein and butter fat, which are its constituents, must be "cured." This "curing" process is chiefly accomplished by time. It is not considered fit to cat until it is old enough and rank enough from gradual processes of decomposition to be buried. The average palate has been gradually educated to relish cheese after it has undergone butyric acid fermentation and is, in fact, putrid. This is plain Kngllsh. and it flies in the face of the reigning authorities on gustatory standards. Certain brands of the stuff, as Roquefort, Limberger and several other varieties, sell at enormous prices simply because they represent ideal degrees of rankness putridity. This butyric acid fermentation has its proper bacillus, and in case of the special varieties present in Limberger and other delectable brands, the characteristic odor is vile enough and strong enough to bar nil attempts at counterfeiting or substitution. The flavor comports with the smell, and either one would cau?e a re?pectab!e canine to drop his astonished tall and sneak out of the rankest soap factory or tanyard on the face of the earth. Every normal stomach rebels at it. and every normal palate repudiates It at sight, taste or smell. Years ago. when all the small dairymen made a jlttle cheese for their own use, if not for the market, they began to eat it before it was a fortnight oM; ate it as freely as they did bread, and never thought of it being difficult of digestion. Nor was it. , To put such compressed casein before a lover of Limberger would be to offer him an unpardonable insult. And yet. from a health standpoint, it is the only cheese that can be approved. Of the semi-putrid, rank-smelling and acrid-tasting stuff now sold for cheese manv persons cannot partake with impu nlty; and those who do eat it are compelled to be verv sparing in tneir indulgence. making it a relish or condiment rather than a food. This is because it belongs with other antiques. It belongs with "embalmed beef." moldy bread and gangrenous came" for which palled palates either pos sess or profess a gusto. Among the gourmands an mis protest i? the rankest heresy. Nevertheless. It Is the tiuth. and no amount of gustatory pettifog ging can change it. If the creameries wouin try xr.e experi ment of making little "cheeses." weighing from two to five pounds each, and send thm to market as soon as they will hold jijp cay not to exceed two to four weeks from the press, it wouin not tase long 10 create a market for their product that would grow to untold proportions, because people would learn to eat cheese at every meal, and as freely as they now devour cake or crackers. Tn time the taste for butyric acid, putrid casein and the concentrated stinks of the neean stables wou.- be superseded, and the market for this major Item of dairy products multiplied a hundred fold.
