Though the part may not have been written for Mr. Murphy, it is he. Gay goes to Washington to follow up a claim again.-t the government that his father held. The persons whom he meet there are varied; they are Senator Dlnsmore and his daughter and ?on; Emily Garrison, a naval officer's daughter; Mrs. McKnight. a mendicant; Senator Ilert, an expedient legislator; a Senate page, a Senate pest and a Minneapolis millionaire. The relations between Gay and them make the comedy, giving it both humor and pathos. The first pretormance will be given to-morrow night and the play will be presented twice on Saturday. Paul Wilstach. the author of the play, is traveling with th company. He has a number of friends In this citv. his former home having been at Lafayette. He wag connected with the business staff of the Richard Mansfield Company for several years He -Is a student of the drama and in this month Bookman there is an illustrated article by htm on the dramatizations of Charks Pickens's novel?. . otf of the MiiRe. The present attitude of the public tmvard the. stage Is not conducive to the portrayal of true srief-or much else that is true ant this condition has greatly lessened Mr. E. ill. Fothern's chance for honor in his r.ew play, "Richard Lovelace." written by Mr. Laurence Irving. William Winter of the New York Tribune, praises the play and the acting as being sincere, serious and artistic, having few of the defects which are now so important in pleasing theatergoers through the medium of so-called 'romance.'' XXX A young woman in the vatidlfle bill at the Grand Opera House this week shows what good can be accomplished with a mall voke If it be u.s-d rightly. She is of the tram of la ender and Tomson. In the course of the sketch she takes up a guitar and sings a simple love song, plaving the accompaniment. She does not try to force a volume of tone that she has not and She lets her voice go easily. It reaches all parts of the theater. Her epre;e Iveness and unaffectedneji piea-e the nudtnce greatly and she has to sing the refrain twice. Later In the net the man rubs his face airaint hers, covering it with black. There are several suh reminders of the variety houses from which the' tam probably was icradnatcd. but the young woman's manner makes the act worth while. KMX When the Carl Pammann acrobats seem to have finished' t heir work at each per
K
formance of the show at the Empire Theater, a mite of a boy in an abbreviated linen costume tumbles on to the stage and takes all tho attention to himself. The mature members of the troupe throw him from one to the other and he jumps about as if it were his play hour. He is four years old and is Just entering the profession of leaps and somersaults. The trick of Introducing him at the cjose of the . act revivifies the audience's Interest and when the acrobats do leave the stage they got Increased applause. The bid of English's Opera Uoue for the patronage of the Odd Fellows and the visitors to the state fair next wek will be made with "Are You a Mson'?" a farce adapted from the German by Leo Pitrkhstein.

The congregation of the First Presbyterian Church expects to use the hall of the Shortridge High School but a short time for its services. A plan now being discussed is to erect a temporary tabernacle on the site of the new church at Delaware and Sixteenth streets to be occupied until the new structure is finished. The thoroughfares of Broad Ripple are to be lighted. Dr. Light, on a recent visit to the East, saw a new device for street lights and on his return told the Town Board ot the new lamp.' Several of the lamps were procured for trial and satisfaction was given immediately. The board has ordered enough of the lamps to light all the streets In the suburb. The Holiness meetings at. Prospect and Linden streets will continue until Sunday evening. They are being conducted by Kvangelists Bacon and Weigele, who work independently of any church organization, although the co-operation of several churches has been given.

It Is claimed that the corps has been supported by the merchants while the insurance companies receive the direct benefit from the work of the corps. Large manufacturers are willing . to co-operate with members of the association. Superintendent Newman, of the corps, says If the insurance companies would allow a small cr(!!t to patrons of the corps it would fnable him to make the organization one of the most efficient In the country. Mr. Austin has just come to town.
BACK TO CLASSIC HALLS
ST t UK NTS OF INI1I ANA COLLEGES RE All V FOR THEIR WORK. Hrrord llrenklnK Enrollment at Purdue Culver Instltnte Again frnnded to the Doors. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Sept. 11. Purdue University opened most auspiciously this morning, with an attendance that will not fall far short of 1.3X on the final accounting. President Stone and his assistants have been kept busy caring for the immense number who have applied for admittance. Every department will be taxed to its utmost. The freshman class Is the largest ever known, and will be greatly Increased before the opening week is past. Registrar A. M. Kenyon was much gratified at the unusual attendance. As is the custom, the first assembling of the students was In the college chapel. College yells ascended freely until President Stone stepped to the front to call the meeting to order. His words of welcome were the signal for frequent outbursts of applause. When he made the announcement that last year's attendance was destined to be excelled, both in numbers and in Intellectuality, there was a great outburst of enthusiasm. He said Purdue was amply able to care for and Instruct all who had come and could care for more. He &aid it was an erroneous idea that students were being turned away. Stricter rules governing the entrance examinations have barred many, he said, but they were enforced In order to get a higher class of students. It has resulted In a benefit to both the university and the students. Prof. Moses C. Steven:? conducted the religious services this morning. One thing the big attendance assures is an improved condition of athletics. Cl'LVER MILITARY ACADEMY. More Applications for Admission than Can He Accommodated. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CULVER, Ind., Sept. 11. Culver Military Academy opened to-day. The applications for' admission this year have again been greatly in excess of the capacity of the institution, and thirty or forty boys have been declined. Under the- new system inaugurated this year ihe nev cadets report a week before the old cadets, and before the academic duties commence. This week is devoted t? military instruction only, so that when the studies are taken up the new cadets have grown accustomed to the military routine and are unhampered by the usual feeling of awkwardness. It is believed that the system will prove a great success. r There will be three drills dally and recitations of the military regulations of the academy during the present week. On Monday, the 16th, and the regular routine of studies, with one drill and dress parade each day, will be taken up. Football Player Hart. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. RICHMOND. Ind., Sept. 11. Robert Wilson, a young man Of Spiceland, a student at Earlham College, had his collar bone broken to-day while at football practice. He . was guarding a man with the ball and was tackled too roughly. Now that the college term has fully opened the prospects for-the year are said to be most flattering, and the football outlook never better. ON ROAD TO RECOVERY (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) thorities for the possession of the prisoner. The members of the Cabinet, Attorney General Knox and Secretary Gage, as well as those who are here, are unanimously of opinion that Czolgocz's offence is against the State of New York and Erie county, and that there is no federal statute to cover the case. District Attorney Penney consulted Secretary- Root to-day as to procedure. He did not seek Mr. Root's opinion as secretarj' of war,' but as one of the ablest lawyers in New York State. It i3 understood that the local authorities are only awaiting the result of the shot to formulate their charges against the assailant of the President. After this afternoon's bulletin Secretary Hay announced that he felt warranted in leaving for Washington and he left tonight for the capital.' X-RAY EXPERT GOES HOME. Dr. H. Lw Knoll, the X-ray expert, announced to-day that he would return to New York to-night. The doctors, he said, were agreed that there was no immediate prospect of any necessity for the use of the X-rays to locate the bullet. He expressed the opinion that when the President has recovered sufficiently the X-ray would be used. Some of the physicians, including Dr. Rixey, were, he said, of opinion that It would be desirable to know exactly where the ball is. Mrs. McKinley saw the President this mornin. When the doctors arrived at the house for the consultation they passed her sitting In the upper corridor of the residence at work on her knitting. She was in good spirits, and after the visit of the doctors they pave their assent to her entering the. sick room again. She remained only a minute, as the physicians, are avoiding any sapping of the President's strength by prolonged visits, even by those nearest to him. A beautiful floral piece, in the form of an American flag on an easel made of roses and evergreens, arrived at noon. It was fully six feet high and was the gift of the Italian colony of New York, in whose behalf it was presented by the Italian consul here. WHAT THE SIRGEOXS SAID. Condition of the President Explained After Issue of Bulletins. BUFFALO, N. Y.. Sept. 11. "The President passed a very comfortable night." said the 6 o'clock morning bulletin of Dts. Rixey and Wasdin, the two physicians, who remained at the President's bedside throughout the night. A few minutes later Dr. Rixey, the President's regular physician, was seen by a reporter. He displayed no evidence of anxiety and was emphatic in his characterization of the sensationally alarming report put in circulation in the early hours of the morning as a result of the bullet issued a few minutes before midnight, but dated 10:CO p. m. Dr. Rixey was asked about these reports, and he replied earnestly and without any hesitation whatever: "Th,ose statements arc not true. The President is not in a serious condition and there is no alarm felt over him. The facts are Just as stated in the regular bulletins of the physicians, who are anxious that the public shall be fully acquainted with the truth." The fact that the wouHd In the President's abdomen is not dealing by "first intention." is not a feature at all unusual in such cases, explained o-ne of the President's physicians. On the contrary it is usual for gunshot wounds to heal by what is known as "second Intention." through granulation. Especially is this the case with older persons,- whereas In the case of young people they usually heal by "first intention." The morning consultation began at K:.fi o'clock. The stay of th? doctors was rather longer than usual, but this was to be expected after the events of last night. There was Intense anxiety to learn the first announcement of the morning, as this was looked forward to as an Index of the day. It was noted that no Cabinet oßVer had called since early last evenin. so that ll
was apparent those nearest to the President, in an official capacity, were not alarmed over the happenings of last night. ALL GOOD NEWS. The conference broke up at 9:15, and five minutes later Dr. Mynter left the house. "It is all good news," said he, "as he reached the rope at which half a hundred newspaper men were congregated. "The action we took last night has proved beneficial and I feel more confident In the President's recovery than at any time since he was shot. Everything is favorable and we have tripled the amount of nourishment, giving him now three teaspoonsful of beef juice every hour, instead of one. But the President's recovery will be slow. All talk of him sitt'ng uj in a few uays and leaving Buttalo in a wctrk, is nonsense. I shall be satisfied if he can be moved In six weeks." Dr. Mynter said that Dr. Mann had taken out the stitches in the wound last night. He described the necessity for the action, explaining that an irritation of the skin was not unusual In such cases. He said that, generally speaking, the President was doing excellently. He drank water freely, passed it freely, and the condition of his bowels was satisfactory. Dr. Roswell Park, who came from the house two minutes later, gave the most positive assurances of satisfaction at the condition of affairs, and in addition gave many of the circumstantial details of the case at this moment to allav anv apprehension. "What was done last night." said he, "shouldn't be called a secondary operation.' or any 'operatioa at all, as It was nothing of the kind. It was just the ordinary care given to an incision that is called for by the requirements of surgery. In fact, as affecting the patient, it was little more than opening his vest, so' the opening of the incision should not be given an erroneous interpretation. No one of us in particular performed the work, as might be the case if anything in the nature of an operation had occurred,. but all of us assisted In what was done. Two stitches were taken out, but It was not necessary to make any new' stitches." COULD NOT BE BETTER. At this moment Mayor Diehl drove up and inquired of Dr. Park as to the real condition of affairs. "It could not be better," answered Dr. Park in most positive manner.. "The President is doing well, and everything following what was done last night has been most natural and satisfactory." Dr. Park was asked as to the operation of the bowels following the first administration of beef juice by the mouth last night. "The results have been excellent," he replied," and this morning we have increased the quantity of beef juice feil by the mouth. The bowels have moved, showing that the natural digestive processes are operating and that the wounds In the side of the stomach are not interfering with the proper assimilation of food going into it." ' The bulletin dated 9 o'clock was given out at 9:45. and was considered very reassuring in every way, bearing out in an official way the statements made by the physicians before its appearance. Drs. McBurney and Mann emerged from the house together at 10:03 o'clock. Dr. McBurney Indicated not the slightest anxiety, and he expressed surprise when informed that alarmist stories had followed the issuance of last night's bulletin. "I think the hulletln was perfectly frank." said he. "We all united In the assurance that ho complications could follow." Dr. McBurney then explained the character of the irritation which had made the reopening of the incision necessary. "It was caused," said he, "just as we stated, by the fact that a piece of the President's coat was carried into the body bv the bulletnot far, not over an inch. The bullet then slipped through the fat. The fragment of the coat was, of course, removed when the operation was performed, but every surgeon understands that, even though every foreign particle is removed, tissues exposed to contamination are apt to show irritation. That was so in- this case. When the stitches were taken out the wound opened of itself." "Was any foreign substance found within?" "Not a particle," he answered emphaticaly. "The wound was not again sewed up," he added. "It will close and heal by granulation." "Is the opening of wounds after such an operation unusual?" he was asked. "Not in "gunshot wounds, where foreign substances can be carried into the body," he replied. "Was any pus found in this case?" "No; not a suggestion of pus. There was a thin fluid exuded as a result of the inflammation, as was to be expected." - Dr. McBurney said he had not decided just when he would return home. "If I remain over night." he said, "it will be solely because of . my intense interest in the case." BETTER TO REMAIN IN BUFFALO. "When asked as to when the President could be moved, he said that no question as to that had arisen. "If it were necessary," said he, "he could be moved to-day. He could be placed in an ambulance, taken to the train, placed on a lounge in a special car and taken to Washington. That is, so far as his condition is concerned. But there is no reason why he should not enjoy every comfort and take his time about it. It will not hurt him to remain a few weeks in Buffalo." Dr. McBurney said that the Interior wounds had healed. That, he said, was proved by the manner in which the President had digested the beef Juice given to him last night. He said the President had relished the nourishment given him and that to-morrow he would be given the white of an egg and perhaps something else. Dr. Mann, who performed the original operation last Friday, and who did the dressing, of the wound last night, concurred in the expression of confidence which the other doctors had given. "What was done last night," said Mr. Mann, "was merely the usual dressing of the wound in the abdomen requisite to keep it in proper condition. The incision is about five Inches in length, just above the navel, horizontal and in line with the body. There is no cross Incision. The cut was laid open carefully and some antiseptic gauze Inserted. The results were entirely satisfactory, and the President's condition this morning shows the beneflt of what was done. He is cheerful and confident. In fact, he is doing so well that I would r.ot be surprised if we let him have a cigar before long. As to Just when he can be moved, that is not being considered, for the reason that he Is much better off here than he would be In Washington. There the weather is intolerable in September, but here it Is cool and bracing, which will count much In the stages of convalescence. One of the most depressing heat periods I ever experienced was in Washington In September, so that, all things considered. It will lend much to the President's recovery to remain where he is at least until October." Dr. Mann was asked concerning the relation of the outer incision with the Inner wounds of the stomach. "They are quite separate," said he. "The wounds of the stomach are those made by the bullet, while the outer Incision was that required by the surgical operation immediately after the shooting. As to the wounds of the stomach, they were closed during the operation, and now sufficient time has elapsed to allow the sutures to heal by natural process. That this is progressing nicely is evident from the restoration of the normal digestive processes. Until last night we had not permitted food to enter the stomach by way of the mouth. But the- administration of beef juice has proved so satisfactory that we have doubled the amount and .will add the whites 'of egs. He is receiving as much as three and four teaspoonfuls ' of beef juice an hour, and this will be gradually lncrea sed." Dr.- Mann was asked if the treatment of the wounds would in any way affect the course to be pursued as to extracting the bullet. "Not at all. There is no ncd of extracting the bullet. 1 have known a man who carried a bullet In the muscles of the heart. In this case the bullet Is encysted by this time and it is not a feature of the case to give further concern." TESTIMONIAL FOR PARKER.

Discussing the latest bulletin last night, he said: "The last bulletin shows two specially favorable symptoms moderate respiration and gradual diminution of the pulsations proving that everything is progressing well In the abdominal cavity. 1 think the bullet will produce inflammation of the muscular tissues near the spine, which will necessitate surgical intervention."

Mnt Formidable Veel of Iter Class Afloat Her Terrific Buttery AVas All Made In llnntln, PHILADELPHIA. Sept. ll.-The Russian battleship Retvisan, one of the most formidable war craft in the world, left Cramps shipyards this morning for her preliminary, cr builders trial trip. The t hip will proceed down tbs Delaware river today to the entrance to Delaware bay. anchoring near the breakwater. After her compasses are adjusted she will steam out to sea and the customary tests will be made to demonstrate her ability and seaworthiness. The contract calls for a speed of eighteen knots an hour during twelve hours' continuous steaming, and the builders have no doubt that the Retvizan will exceed the requirements and prove the fastest battleship in the world. An unusual feature of the trip will be the firing of all of the Retvizan's guns while she is at sea. She carries a terrinc battery, and the big guns are novel to American eyes, for the Russians manufacture all their own heavy ordnance at the Obrukoft works. There are four twelve-Inch and twenty three-inch guns in her main battery, while the secondary group is made up uf tw enty fort -üeven-mllimeter HotchkWs rapid-tire cannon. The design of the Retviran Is the met formidable ever drawn In the United Stales for a foreign nation. She combines many features of armament which are a direct outcome of the lessons of the SpanishAmerican war. Her hull is covered amidships with armor plate nine Inches in thickness, and the water line is further reinforced by the protective deck being brought down to the edge of the bell plating. Higher up on the hull is h six-inch armor, tapering off to five inches in the vicinity of the central battery guns. Except at very close range the upper hull armor, it Is argued, will keep out all projectiles. The Retviran is manned b a ricked crew from Cramps', but the guns will be directed and tired by Russian crews. General Brynk. of the Russian ordnance department, with a corps of experts, will watch the Retvlr.an's movements or.ly so far as her armament Is concerned. The officers who will command the fhlp - when she Is put Into commission also are on board. Yacht Wrecked at Cape Ilenlnpen. DOVER. Del.. Sept. ll.-The steam yacht Rapioan. owned by R.
