that the mind, coaxed by the fun of it all, does not revert to destructive logie. A;ros Illcodgoid lias deceived hi.-4 wife fr twenty years iy h .iinmins as a merrier of the Ma-onie order. He and ft fitr.iiiy go to New York to vi lt his son-iri-Jaw, r rank Perry, who a'so bas falsely t-!d Iii wife thai he 1 ail lifcumo a Mason. The two ii. on seek to prevent c a h cthr (Ax o rlmr thir lonh.l-o. a'.iri. am! It is on this complication that the fun is based. .nl the fun is spontaneous, notwithstanding the sjksi stion in this hare statement that tho machinery is too plain, Perry confesses to hi- father-in-iaw. after being worn out with his attempts to seem what he is not. and th older man borates hin lor his deception. HloodK"od. when Ji young man. unfortunately had married a frivolous irl. fro;n whori he was afterwards divorced, and this Indireilon hold against him painfully by his second wife, in order that Terry may have a d -fense against his fathr-in-la w. his friend FlshT onserts to Impersonate a naught' r of Hloodgood and his first wife, and thus rise up against him from the unKnown to hi confusion. The voting woman is introduced to the family. Though Mr. IMtrhhstein's part is that of a omewhat flash v vnutiR man. he carries into his female impersonation a delicacy and an appreciation of the dnngr of the task that prevents ativ ofleuMveriess. The other male characters of the farce are Trar.. a musical hall usher with blackmailing tendem ies. played pieturesquelv bv Mr. Dane; John HaKon. a farmer, w ho" is 'willing to run mi!1 under the hot sun a a tet for Masonry, acted by Mr. Richards with all the innocense for which that comedian ha Ion been applauded, and KrneM Morrison, a conventional your.g man of good breeding. The women of the farce are delightfully portraved by the playwrights and the actresse. Miss Tittell as Mary Perry, is so attractive that .she almost creates a feeling

cf detestation lor ner nusoanu. wno nas teon indulging in music hall parties" during her absence, and the young girls of the Dloodgood family are as prettily Ingenuous as Perry and his friend Fisher are worldly wise. The III 1 1 at he Grnnd. Techow's trained cat., for their novelty, take the place of first importance in the second week of the new season of vaudeville at the Grand Opera House, just as Emmy's performing dogs, for the nicety of their acting, were the most interesting feature of the first week's bill. Cats, beir.fr much less Intelligent and much more nervous than dogs, are much more difficult to train, and the steadiness with which Techow's pets perform is a marvel. Altogether, It 1 a very unusual and interesting turn. There are two little comedies on the programme, and both hinge on the man winning his fiancee by calling on her in dis guise. This .improbable trick always lessens effectiveness, but the two sketches now offered are entertaining. Mr. and Mrs. Ktlcy's piece takes place in two apartments of a flat-house, both of which are shown. The characters are art students, who were engaged to be married, but had quarreled. The young man disguises himself as his uncle from India and works out a reconciliation. Albert Bellman and Lottie Moore call their playlet "Hester's Promise." In the course of the instructor's visit he and the girl dance and sing, imitating grand opera, and afterward a Uowery "spiel." and this part of the sketch is the most lively and valuable. The first act on the programme is the contortion of Amiel. a slim young man that twists his body horridly, and. strangely, is applauded heartily for his exhibition. Pelle Williams, a rag-time singer that browns her face till she looks like a negro, too closely imitates the real article to please as well as she might If she left off the color. Charles Kenna, a monologuist. has an original style, impertinent and comic, that interested both audiences yesterday. His talk is new and his Irish imitations are especially good. More impersonation and less random foolery would make the offering excellent. Miss Alexandra Dagmar, "the most stunning woman in vaudevilk" appears in a gorgeous dress bedecked with jewels. She has an imposing figure, blonde hair, a handsome face, strong voice and a manner of the world. Her singing is sometimes painful because of forcing her voice to high places. She depends for favor more as a show person than a clever one. Smith and Fuller's musical act does not please as much as it should because it is not noisy. The team opens with an instrument made of tin cans, plays bronze and silver chimes and closes with the maramha, which is a xylophone with pipes added. The tin cans and maramha. .ire most effective. The team is not attempting elaborate mu?lc, but its syncopation is so rythmic as to delight the average vaudeville audience. The entertainment closes with new pictures from the olograph. "Superhn" nt the Purk. The recurring promises for "Hanlons" Kver New 'Superba' " have been fulfilled again this year. Very little of tho old production remains. Nearly every scene has been enlarged and elaborated. The new show was presented at the Tark Theater last night and the engagement is for performances every afternoon and evening tho rest of the week. The first act shows the crater of a volcano throwing out its flame and lava. The second scene of the same act shows a view of the Paris Kx position and the Klffel tower, which is followed hy a scene representing the Huffalo Exposition and the electric tower and it.s roaring cascades. The rest of the scenes of this act refer to scenes in tho Pan-American, including the Midway. Here is introduced the automatic orchestra. During this net a corps of singers nnd dancers is introduced. The opening scene of the. second act. "the enchanted room," is a wonderful piece of mechanism. "The jockey's dream." of the. same act shows Pierrot's parlor transformed into a stable, where are kept two race horses. The mechanical construction of the two horses is shown to advantage. The cowboys and Pierrot attempt to ride them and produce a great amount of laughter Jri the audience. The seentc artists did their master work on the third set. "The Fountain of Dolphins." designed by T. V. Smvth and painted by Messrs. Gates and Morange, is a beautiful pierp of stagecraft. During the last aet are introduced Prof. Heed'H troupe of performing bulldogs and the Svmour acrobats and athletes. The do perform some of the most difficult tricks ever attempted by canines. The work of Pierrot, which is played by Robert Uossaire, is done with nlmbleness and precision. Adra Ainslee makes a good Superba and Nellie Potter plays the part of Wallalla. "Queen of Evil." Carrie Hehr'' German character burlesque is highly entertaining. The company is large and capable. "Grnn Wido" nt the Empire. An unfortunate occurrence marred the opening performance of the Jolly Grass Widows at the Empire Theater yesterday afternoon. Too large an outburst of enthusiasm from the habitues of the upper part of the house was responsible for the trouble. The show had proceeded easily until the close of the olio, when the Whangdoodle Quartet, composed of colored men, was leaving the stage. The act is replete with nonsense and the quartet occupied the stage for twenty minutes, to the delight of tin- gallery. The colored men became tired and the stage manager went on with the closing burlesque. The raised by the crowd in the gallery and balcony drowned any attempt at singing or reciting of lines. The special policemen started to take one fellow out of the gallery, but the others crowded about and made it appear that if the man was further molested trouble would be caused. The performanec this season was i:i no way similar to that last year given by the same company. An entire change has be n made in the socenery and music. The opening burlesque is entitled "One Niht ami Gone." In it are introduced the old-time Hebrew impersonator, the English lord and the two tramps with black-mailing schemes. However, these aged adjuncts to a burlesque show are far above the average and produce a great amount of fun. Tne Kirl.5 of the chorus are prettily costumed. The cast of the piece buds the inference that something of a risque nature is to o ur, but nothing in any w;;y suggestive happens. Walker and Mackie are two clever tramps and head the olio. Harvey and Moore, as "tho sport and the Hebrew." intrd'.ue some new dancing -ttps. "u Duty." a one-act sk( tch. in three scer.es. b Mackie and Walker, has b.-en put m in good sty!e. The opening scene represents the hardships policemen have to eiulure when patrolling a bunch district. Assisting Mackie and Walker, who take the parts of the policemen, is a number of the chorus and two of the colored m r.iber-- of the troupe. The second i-ccne is tin- n.eilit.m i for introducing sentimental su"s. The I third :-cc:ie. a man-of-war. is similar to the prece.:;ns tv o. .Montague an.i et hae a musical turn which would be b.-tbr were the eorredy part stricken our. ;i the closing hurlequ.-.

IT IS GOD'S way: Profcnnd Significance of President McKinley' Lnt Word. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: Not often, if ever, since the divine Master's last words, "It is finished," were uttered have the last words of any dying man had the profound significance of the last words of President McKinley: "It is God's way." The Savior did not simply mean that His early life was ended, but He had in view that wonderful scheme of redemption of which His tragic death was the closing fact. Mr. McKinley did not Eimply mean that by the assassin's bullet was God's way of ending his personal life, though in a sense that would have been true, but his great soul, believing that God has in hand the uplifting of the race and the betterment of man through the agency of man, and pre-eminently through the instrumentality of this great country, he recognized that his tragic death was God's way of h?lping along this work of the ages. Some things in the divine economy are expensive and painful, and, humanly speaking, they are resorted to only after milder measures have failed. For a hundred years or more thoughtful men trembled for this country on account of slavery. God could not be just and tolerate it forever, but all appeals to conscience and moral forces for a century only tightened the chain and made slaveholders the more arrogant. When the cup of its iniquity was full and its demand for nationalization made men tremble it was God's way to abolish it to make the wrath of man fire upon Fort Sumter. It proved to be a painful and expensive way, but it was God's way, seeing that the precepts of humanity could not do it. No thoughtful man who has caught the spirit of the times can fail to rejoice; in the wonderful strides Christian civilization has made within the last six years, in some resects the consummation of forces long working in silence. The marching of the powers into the heart of China is only one of the many events showing the progress of the teaching of tho Son of Mary. The world was ripe for progress in a field to be wholly our own when Mr. McKinley Vame into the presidency. How heroicallv he grappled with the situation, and with what glorious results, I need not tell. It is history now. He did not make the occasion, ho simply proved himself equal to it; aild the American people are proud of the part they have been called to take in this world uplift. But everybody knows there are seeds of civic, death in our midst which must be wVolly eradicated or the end is near, the chief of which is anarchism. Its assassination of the President is tUe very least of its development. The death of plain William McKinley is no more of a public calamity than the death of any other man. but th death of President McKinley at the hands of an assassin, who killed only because he was President, is quite another thing, and hence the Nation is aroused as never before, and the indignation of the Nation is turning against all Anarchists. But deaths from Anarchists are an everyday occurrence, and few seem to care. Th very first definition of "anarchy" is "An utter disregard for government." What is any man who utterly disregards law but an Anarchist? If the man who disregards law is an Anarchist, what is the magistrate who habitually and persistently refuses to enforce the law? He is a law violator himself, and he upholds an "utter disregard of government." and yet everywhere there are such magistrates. It was a defiant period in slaverv when men dared to assert that it would destroy the government if it could not dictate the President. The defiant attitude of anarchy has never been so assertive as it is to-day in Indianapolis. We may not have many Goldmans or Mösts, but we have anarchism in a more defiant form than these or any of their clan have yet assumed. So fnr as I know. Indianapolis has the unenviable distinction of being the first city in America with a candidate for its chief magistracy who pledges himself, if elected, to enforce no law that is distasteful to nim. "I will enforce all just laws" is his slogan. Of course, he alone Is to determine what laws are "Just." and the people are not in the dark as to what laws hfl already considers unjust, for he promises to follow his immediate predecessor in this regard. Now. though Indianapolis is the first city in America that ever had a candidate for Its chief magistrate cm a platform that expresses an "utter disregard for government" by promising net to enforce all laws, but only such as may be tasteful to him, It is not Die only city in which anarchism obtains. "It 5s God s way" to arouse the Nation to the prevalence of anarchism to permit one of the least dangerous forms of anarchy to assassinate the President. i brings us face to face with the real situation. We are fast becoming a nation of Anarchists. The mobs that hng negroes and the man who shoots a President are no more Anarchists than are the "utter disregarders of government" in any other form or the .nagistrate who neglects to enforce all laws against crime.

FLORIDA IN SUMMER. Dr. Fletcher Discourse Pleaaautly on the State's Various Attract Ion. Occasional Correspondence of the Journal. ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 14.-To escape hay fever, mosquitoes and hot weather I always come tc Florida during August and part of September. I was astonished this season at the large number of passengers that crowded the car from Cincinnati to Jacksonville and Tampa. People north are Just finding out that the watering places in Florida present many advantage. over those of the North Atlantic cities; that in addition to the clear, wholesome atmosphere there is a constant breexe across the peninsula, either from tha gulf or the Atlantic, and that the sea and inland fishing excel that of any place in the United States. The nights are all cool enough for two covers on the bed, and the mosquito-netted bed so familiar to those who go to Atlantic City. Cape May. Newport and other resorts, ' is unKnown nere. I arrived in Jacksonville the day of the Flagler wedding. Of course, it was the talk of the town, and while everybody smiled at the old man's shrewdness they universally condemned the State Legislature for being made a tool of in the Flagler interests. The case plainly shows that "love laughs at" lawsmlths as well as at "locksmiths." Mr. Flakier is a man past seventy years of age. His divorced wife is said to be insane, and has been for five years or more. Air. Flagler is one of the wealthiest men in America. He desired to marry a young woman of South Carolina. To do so he got a law passed by the last General Assembly making it lawful for a divorce to be granted when the husband or wife haa been Insane four years or "over. Just as soon as this infamous act became a law Mr. Flagler took advantage of it, and thus far is the only man in the State who has done so. The same logic that makes divorce in a case of insanity legal would make chronic disease of any kind extending over four j-ears a cause for divorce. Besides, insanity is a disease from which recoveries take place frequently in five, ten or even twenty-five years. The burned district of Jacksonville cut out about one-fourth of the city, but it is building up quietly, steadilv and in a more substantial way than before. The main street, which runs west from the Union Station, was untouched. One thing peculiar about Jacksonville is that everybody seems to be going to or coming from church on Sunday; in fact, my observation has been that the Sabbath is regarded as a day of rest in the South far more than in the North- 1 have traveled through Alabama, Georgia and Florida several times on Sunday and have never seen a man, woman or child with fishing rod t gun. In my nearest town of three thousand Inhabitants one cannot buy a newspaper, get shoes blacked, get shaved or a prescription filled at the drug store on Sunday. Florida has had a prosperous year. The corn crop was gathered in July rather late for this State, but it was very fine. The cotton and tobacco never were better. As for pears, peaches, guavas, organges, pineapples and all citrus fruits, no year in the past ten has produced such perfect and abundant crops. Florida is a long State 0 miles from St. Mary's river, which is the northern boundary, to Kev West on the south point of the peninsula. One should not judge a State by seeing only the northern third, for it in no way represents the soil, climate or products of the middle pnd southern parts. Jacksonville and St. Augustine are but poor reprcsentati ve of real tropical Florida. To show the law-abiding spirit that prevails in this community. I will state that Orange county is. like many others, a prohibition county. It was discovered last June that there were several druggists (most respectable citizens ). some grocerymen and a dozen speak-easies selling bottled beer and other prohibited articles. The grand jury, without regard to wealth or standing, found indictments against every one and fined them $2on each, with a promise of JSOO fine for the next offense. There Jh not a druggist now in the county who will sell alcohol in any form, even on a physician's prescription. Some four years ago a negro made an assault on a young white woman in this county. He was not burned at the stake nor hanged by a mob. but was kept in jail until tried, was found guilty and sent to the penitentiary for life. The people of Florida are all too busv to give much attention to strikes. At Tamti t the walking delegates were walked off tf the Inrd knows where. At Jacksonville a number of them were soundly threshed for minding other people's business. At a foundry near by a Walking delegate attempted to form a union, and all hands in that foundry united In capturing that nicely dressed delegate and ducked him until he left the town in disgust. Orlando, the county seat of Orange county, is the center of the orange and pineapple Industries. To-day the trees hang to overtulness with oranges, and each train carries north each day one or more carloads of ripening pineapples. The reason that Orlando is the center of this fruitgrowing district is that it 1 at a healthful altitude; the dividing line between the Atlantic ocean and Gulf of Mexico; farther north it is too cold and farther south too hot to produce the best fruit. More attention is now given to pineapple. than any other fruit, as it pays better. A pine shed is required, from one to ten acres being inclosed by high board fences on north and west sides, and all the top and other sides covered with slats three Inches wide. This Is for the purpose of breaking the wind on the north and vest, and the sun's rays on south and east. Here the plumes, or top of the pineapple, or the shoots which grow out of the stalk after the apple has been cut off, are set out in rows eighteen inches apart; they are heavily fertilized by both artificial and natural fertilizers, are watered in dry seasons and worked with the hoe every "test days. In from eighteen months to two years the crop commences to ripen; not all" at once, but within six to ten weeks' time. The top or plume of a good pineapple is worth from K to 12 cents, according to variety: shoots have sold as high as Uo t ents each, some three years ago. After the apple cut orf there will grow out of the stump from three to twelve of I these shoots. The small nubbin-like pinej apple, dark ani rough, hard inside and out. which come to the northern market. Is from Cuba or Central America; it in raised In the fields without much cultivation, and usually sells for 5 cents, but our Indianapolis dealers :re now Mtting Florida fruit, which weighs from two to seven pounds. There are two kinds sent to our market one the Aber: the other the J smocth Cayenne. The Aberu 1 known by its sawteeth-like dge on the top or plume, while the other Is smooth and knlfeedged. Most people n ho rale them or use them J-.outi prefer the Abeca; it has a better tlavor and whn luite ";.e m more Juicy, but the Cayenne is the finer looking f mit. Do you know the best way to yerve a pineapple? I will tell you. If you look at your fruit and that U 1 yellow abom

the middle and top and of good fruity odor It i ripe. If you notice, the outside is divided into little segment; now. thos segments extend Into the c ?re. Just as a grain of corn extends to tint cob. With a plated sliver knife cut off fhe top of the pine apple and the stem end'likewipe; then cut the fruit into three orl four sections over a dish or bowl to sav the dripping Juice. Peel the rind in cfrcles. net too thick; then with fork or inlfe tear ths fleshy part from the core. Jut as on might tear the grains of corn from the cob. holding the section between thumb and forefinger of left hand upon the center or core. Put this fruit in the ice chest, having sugared it well, and you will have pineapple in perfection. Florida. I think, supplies n greater variety of mushrooms than an; other State. I have gathered great golden bolita which would weigh two atid a half pounds. Thi best one for eating is the "parasol" Agann. which, broiled or fried, has the solidity of a slice of salf's liver with the high mushroom flavor. The most clrious Agarut. if it be one. is found growing under ths ground beneath the oak treeU. It has been thought by some to be a truffle, but I am sure it is not like the truffies of France, although it has a somewhat similar look and odor. The recent hard rains hav washed out a great many, and I have had an opiortunity of studying their growth. They start as a small, dark ball, as larg as fax ordinary sugar-coatrd pill, about eight to ten inches under grohnd; they perm in nests, as it were, and the tipper ones seem to be pushed upward by the lower until it reaches the surface, perhaps as large as a good-sized pot;; to. where It bursts like a puff ball and skitters Its seed. I have one that came to the. surface which measured three inches in diameter; another measured fourteen inches iround. being somewhat irregular in form.1 Of this cryptogram I lind those that ire completely hidden and as large as n wtdnut are good f ating. I think this is the 'same that th Indians used to eat. and known in nom parts of the South as "Indian bread." also as tuckahoes. A little negro girl. alout five years old, told me, "Those 1? toad bisklts." : I found at Twin lake a beefsteak muhroom growing nine feet above the ground upon a live oak. which M-eighcd seven pounds; it was of light dloish color.

and fine eating, either broiyd. fried or In a stew. There is also a "mrlk mushroom' that when broken sheds at! milkj juice; from one ml Indies in diameter I collected abundance of asuring three two tea.poonfuls of milk as rich as th.(t from a cood Jersey cow. The mushroont was excellent when cooked In a stf w. Tlie only way to test a mushroom to determine its value as food is to cook and cat a small portion of a clean, fresh, full grown; but not old. specimen, after It ha-s been soaked In slightly halty and acidulated water. w. r rFLirrciiLTt.
