Harry Bryant, a comedian that has been playing at the Empire Theater year after year, is to be at that playhouse again this week at the head of his own company. XXX Mis Marie Celeste, who has made many friends in this city at various receptions Riven in her honor, has the title rol in "San Toy," a musical comedy, which will be seen at English's next month. XXX Joseph Hart and Carrie De Mar are making a more elaborate effort this season. They will be seen to-night and to-morrow right at English's Opera House in a comic show called "Foxy Grandpa." which Is liberally sprinkled with songs and employs a chorus. XXX Heats will hf on sale this morning for William Collier's performances of "On the Quiet." at English's Opera House, next Friday and Saturday. The comedy was written by Augustus Thomas and is the best piece that Mr. Collier has had. He was seen here in it last season. XXX The bill of vaudeville that will begin a week at the Grand Opera House this afternoon includes four comic sketches. Those by Fred Hallen and Molly Fuller and Lizzie Evans & Co. are presented most prominently by the management of the theater. Blanche Ring and Hilly Link will sing and tell stories individually. n m m Frank C. Payne, formerly of this city, who is traveling in advance of Frank Perley's comedians in "The Chaperons." writes that the company's plaps may he changed so that this musical comedy will be presented in the cities of the middle West. Includirig Indianapolis, before the holidays. It was intended to begin the New York enicagement next week. Two melodramas whose success has warranted their owners in continuing to present them will be seen at the Park Theater this wwk. "Or. the Stroke of Twelve." by Joseph Ee JJrandt, will be acted there today, to-morrow and Wednesdav, and "M'lisR." from Bret Hartes story of that title, will have the stage the last half of the week, with Nellie McHenry in the title role. XXX For the past fifteen years John and James Russell have been prominent in the vaudeville theaters, and before all their time was demanded in the East they played their sketch. "The Irish Chambermaids." annually at the Empire Theater here. Now they have been presented bv Oscar Hämmerst in. at his Victoria Theater, in New York. In a musical comedy named "Sweet Marie." They have the assistance of the usual chorus, which is said to be unusually capable in the sintring and dancing wav. Tlw Russell brothers are the Fame Iri5h girls. v n It is somewhat surprising that the play 'Irna Doone.' which was presented for a few weeks in 'hioagf early last summer, has not hern Started for the winter season. More than ; year hk there was talk of Miss Annie Russell acting the heroine of R. I. Blackmore's widely-read novel, but it came to nothinp. Harry Hamlin, a t'liicago theatrical man. produced a dramatization of the ltok. With MUs Olive Mav in the title role. The piece whs emphatic melodrama, and none of the ch irm of the Domie country and its people was reprohl ed on the taKe. but fhicaRo people wfmcO to like the entertainment, if onlv because they were familiar with the novei. Miss May was oMied to return to NewYork to take her place in the "Arizona" company, und instead of substituting another actress Mr. Hamlin let the play drop. xxx Augustus Pitou. a theatrical manager once prominent, has retired from the business, but he will b Interested In the proposed dramatic production of several of E. P. Roe's novels. He will be remembered by th older playgoers first f.s a "legitimate" actor and later as manager of . J. Scanion. who h id developed from a "song ami dance man." Robert 11. Mantel! came to this country from England, and after his first succtss he was highly popular for a series of seasons under Mr. Pitou's management. Mr. Pitou also organized a traveling stock company in lvd. some of the member, of which were Minnie Seligman. W. II. Thompson, who was here last w-ck In Miss Kussell s company. E. J. p.ackus and William Faversham. This scheme failed und Mr. Iltou then took charge "of Clsauncey Olcott s business affairs and made him a popular actor of romantic Irish plays. A x x Rate in the month Beerbohm Tree will produce in London "The Iist of the Dandies." an elaborate narrative based on the career of D'Orsay. who was almost as famous a dandy as Beau Rrummel. 'lydc Pitch, who wrote "Beau Brunimd" for Richard Man?Uid. also is the author of "The East of the Handles." The rirt picture will be of D'Orsay's dressing room, showing the progress of his toilet and his morning reception to his noted acquaintance. The -(. nd hi t will le at l,aly Blensington's famous reside. ice and at the rnbllr.g room at Crockf jid s. Eater the

stage will be converted into a part of the Thames and the persons of the comedy will enter boats. Inte in his life D'Orsay fled from his creditors and at Paris became a noted portrait painter. He and Lady Blessington died in that city. xxx Still another English musical comedy is to be brought to New York from the London Gaiety. It is "The Toreador," and the American managers will be Nixon & Zimmerman, of Philadelphia, who also imported "The Messenger Boy." which is being played in New York now. Jefferson De Angells may have the main male part in "The Toreador." and if he takes it none of the older comic opera stars will be left in the field. De Wolf Hopper, when his popularity dwindled and be lost a great deal of

money in London, accepted an oner irom ber & Fields and is now of their stock companv in New York. Francis Wilson is at the head of a company in a musical comedy called "The Strollers." Lillian Russell is with Weber & Fields. Delia Fox is in retirement. Frank Daniels is playing in "Miss Simplicity," a musical comedy. Thomas Q. Seabrooke Is playing in farce. Comic opera of the genuine, old-time kind seems to have lost out, or. rather, gone to seed, though the Klaw &t Erlanger company, with Jerome Sykes, Is successful in De Koven & Smith's reminiscent "Foxy Qulller," and the Bostonians are announced to appear soon in "Maid Marian." a sequel to "Robin Hood." Musical comedy, with new ideas, has supremacy in the field of funny stories set to tunes. BANKER MADE A MISTAKE He Could .tot Admit It Mild Lost Ten Dollar Another Story. "A man who will not admit that he can make a mistake is a fool." remarked a local banker recently. "I would not make such an admission one time, and it cost me ten dollars. That, however, was some years ago, when I wag considerably younger than I am now, and when I knew more about banking and everything else or thought I did than I do now. "In those days I was very proud, self-reliant and thoroughly independent. One Saturday morning word came to the bank that the teller was sick and could not report for duty that day. Well, I was put at his desk, and you can imagine that I had a time of it. You know Saturday is the busiest day of the week about a bank. On that day it seemed to me that there were more people transacting banking business than I had ever known. Human nature has never undergone much change, as you doubtless are aware, and then as now people put off their banking business until nearly closing time, so that between 2 o'clock and a few minutes after 3 I was kept on the Jump. There was a string of customers stretching away from the window clear back to the private offices. Some wanted to buy drafts, others wanted to ert money to make up pay rolls, others wanted checks cashed, and still others had deposits to make. "Finally, about a quarter past 3 o'clock, 1 let down the curtain to my window, lit a cigar and began to count up the money in front of me, figure the aggregate of checks taken in and make up my trial balance. Just when I was deeply buried in this work I heard a rap at the window. I paid no attention to It, and th sound was repeated. Not until the person had rapped three tunes did 1 raise tha curtain, and there I saw a man who appeared as determined to epeak to me uh I wih not to speak to him. " 'Say, young feller, he said, you gave me too much money awhile ago.' " 'Oh, no; I guesa not.' 1 replied a trifle flippantly; 'we don't make mistakes here. " 'But I know you did pay me too much, protested the man. " l guess you are mistaken, I insisted. " 'No, I am not mistaken,' he returned. 'You cashed a check of Mr. So-and-So for me about half-past 2 o'clock this afternoon.' " 1 remember distinctly of cashing that check,' I said, and I also recalled that 1 had given him two twenty and two tendollar bills, when the check called for 1,7), but I was too infernally proud to admit it. 'If you think that you have 110 more than you are entitled to.' I continued, 'you are that much ahead. I am sure you did not get it from this bank.' " 'Now, look here, young man,' persisted the customer. 'you bad beter come down off your high horse and acknowledge you made a mistake and take this $10 back, for you may need It when you come to strike your balance to-nlght.' "1 again told the man that we did not make mistakes, and declared that 1 had a perfect recollection of having given him the exact amount for which his check called. With that he started out of tne bank, hut when he reached the door he called back, 'Young man, you are making a second mistake. "Without waiting to make up my trial balance I took out my check book and wrote a check for $10, payable to the bank, listed it on the teller's 'blotter with the other checks taken in during the day, and that night th balance was correct to a cent. I do not believe I would make such a misake as that now." xxx "I have had a good deal of experience with newspaper men," said Volney T. Malott recently, as he sat in his office in the Indiana National Bank smoking a Porto F.ican e'gar, "but I believe the most interccting reporter I ever knew was Berry R. Sulgrove, who is now dead. I recall attending a political meeting one night, at which one of the speakers was a man named Smith, who afterwards held a high federal position. In the rear of the hall Sulgrove stood talking with some friends all through the speeeh. He occasionally looked in the direction of the platform, hut only for an instant. No one would have suspected that he heard a sentence that the speaker uttered. He did not make a single note. And yet the next morning his paper h:?d a report of Smith's address that the spe.iKer .afterwards declared was the best report he had ever had made by any newspaper man." ANOTHER SMALL RIOT. Srrnntnn Street-C'nr Strike Attain .Marred by Disorder. SCR ANTON. Pa., Oct. 13. Another riot occurred to-day in connection with the street-car strike, but again, fortunately, there were no very serious results. A big crowd assembled at the lower end of the South Side line during the afternoon, and began piling obstructions on the track. As cars came along and halted they were greeted with fusillades of stones. A passenRer. Mrs. Samuel Jones, and an Italian trackman employed by the company were cut by flying glass. The. arrival of a. squad of police put the mob to flight. Out of reganl for the Sabbath tbe company made no further attempt to operate the cars. The Lafayette-street line, on which the riot occurred yesterday, was also closed to-day. Both will be reopened to-morrow, the company officials say. The strikers issued a letter to-ntuht appealing to their sympathizers to refrain from all acts of violence and content themselves with keeping ofT the cars. There were few people abroad to-day, and consequently few patrons of the car's! Most of them ran empty all day lonfr. CALLED ON THE PRESIDENT. Senator I.ode at the "White House The EeeatHe'a Snmlny. WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. Senator Lodge, of Massachusetts, who has just returned to the t'nlted States from Europe, called at the White Hous and spent some time with the President to-nisht. He was accompanied by Mrs. Iode. IrTesident Roosevelt attended religious services to-day at the Grace Reformed Church, while Mrs. Roosevelt and the two children now here went to St. John's Episcopal Church. A riarht on the IHeyele Path. Thomas Plew, of I-tfS Sherman avenue, and Jamea Long, "city." fought yesterday on the bicycle path. Both were arrested. but Long was not sent to police headquar-' ters for the reason that his physician said it would be dangerous. The men got into an argument earlier in the day and Ing went out on the bicycle path and waited for Plew. who he knew would pass. Long w is most sever ly damaged in the encounter, being bridly cut about the head. mnll I'arly .Morning: Fire. A tire at 1:: o'cloek in the block at the southwest corner of Meridian str.-et and the Circle caused a loss of about fci in Clark's peony photograph gallery on the third floor. The fire was caused by ar. overheated gas stove.

EZEKIEL'ST WO COMMANDS

REV. J. CT.MMI.NG SMITH TAKES THEM FOR Til EM K OF SERMON. What He IIa to Say of Club Life In n City Service at Other City Chnrehe. J. Cumming Smith at the Tabernacle Church last evening took for his theme "Ezekiers Two Commands." Ezekiel iii. 22-24. He said In part: "Our recent criticism of the Bible has made clear the grand human quality of the Jewish prophets, who were poets, seers, statesmen and evangelists combined. To Ezekiel came two commands that bear down on our life as on his. "The first was: 'Arise, go forth upon the plain and I will speak to thee.' The second was: 'Go shut thyself in thy house.' The; two reinforce each other. They comprehend all our modern Christian life. By the one we are taught to keep ourselves open upward, to commune with our God of love and lifting, to soar into the heaven of mysteries and mingle with the infinite. Paul had visions unutterable. Jerome, and Augustine, and Origen, and Savanarola, and Fenelon saw the invisible. There can be no doubt that uch spirits dwelt apart from earth and saw what most eyes see not. Hence a certain power was theirs; hence also a certain weakness in some cases. Men who brood on the unseen things often lose poise and grow morbid, sepulchral and selfish. They chase dreams; they encourage fantasies. "Hence the other command to Ezekiel: 'Arise and go forth upon the plain, the plain where armies hot for Hpoils march in duit; the plain where weary caravans wind slowly along or white tents skirt the horizon; the plain where pilgrims walk to distant shrines, where eager tradesmen carry their wares, where swearing ranchers drive bleating flocks to market. Go out there, mix with life and spread the love of God.' SHUT THE DOOR. "Shut the door and gaze into your soul too long and you grow thin, meager and condemnatory. Open thy door and plunge Into life too much and you grow airy, commonplace and conventional. Blend the two, live with God and live with men and then und then alone you become a true unconscious force. "The Hrst fact is that you must be a moral man to prove that the grace of God is at work within you. Need I say that the world claims splendid Christians. Inconsistent churchmen will always be and cheap men there will always be who will make crooked Christians an excuse for standing aloof from the church. Their attitude is unmanly. But let the church produce men whose holiness comes out in traile, in politics, on the street, by the hearth and the world will soon be won to Christ. "This can never be without an even, open life upward. Take a parable by way of change. Here is a plant with fragrant flower; put it in the cellar it emits fragrance: put It hi the garret, in the drawing room, in the dining room, in the woodshed, in the kitchen, put it where you will, and it diffuses a sweet fragrance. Why? X3ecause the roots are deep sunk and deepdrinking in the soil in the clay pot. So that it is really not so much the plant that sends forth the fragrance, but the soil that that sends the force and the will and juice through it and out into the air in the rich perfume. "A moral man must decay if detached from the love of good that works through his life and then out of his life to enrich and comfort others. Separate them and you have dead works. Join them and you have live faith crystallizing out into real life. " 'Go shut the door and meditate with God;' 'Go out upon the pialn. "How much the woman who lives wholly upon the swirl and emptiness of society needs this truth. How much men of trade, who know the market ami the stocks, and who starve the inner real heart life, need the admonition God gave the prophet. I do not urge you to leave the world behind as if you did not belong to it. But oh. how many men and women in our city are infatuated with cards and fiction and linner parties and are fashionably closing against any higher life! How much society is eaten up with wormy jealousies and petty infatuations and a life void of interest in anything outside of themselves! It is rottenness! No corruption is like it. It saps all the strength and meaning of life into a hollow nothingness. And how frightfully common it is! And yet upon the plain vo'u find the best virtue, which is unconscious goodness. I saw an old. tottering form on the street some months ago. with staff in hand and basket on arm. He remembered the days of dewy youth and the prime of lusty ardor, and now he yearned to light off old age creeping on. 'You see. sir. when we're old we feel we can't do much, but what little we can do we want to do to show we are willing to be of service. The cruelest tragedy is old age suspecting it is not wanted! When I saw the bent form struggling along and the mellow look and the wish to be of use, and the quiet wait for the last call home, I felt God was near. AGE OF AGNOSTICISM. "This is an age of agnosticism; but one thing agnostics want to see a man so close to God that God's life of love flows through him out upon life. This silences skeptcism. It is the ultimate and unanswerable argument for Christianity. "The growth of club life in our cities is fraught with at least one evil; it takes men away to scenes of game and smoking, and perhaps other nameless things, and. deadens the pure instincts that prompt the hearth. They become homeless. They waste their resources so that the desire for a home dies in them. From this fact grows a serious list of undesirable vices. Now, to mlnsle vitally with men of one's own 'age or pursuit is an exhilaration. So far club life Is wholesome. But to spend one's whole .lifo in such a sphere, to find the hours long that are not full of nervous recitation, to leave the free, splendid intercourse with refined women, to mock at marriage this is the history of many a downward career that ends in debauchery. A man needs quietude, olltude, reflection, just as much as a man needs to rub against the world. A married man who wearies of his owii fireside and lonjrs for the club life is a disguised criminal. He is unworthy a noble woman, and a family with the inheritance of that man's bohemian laxities is a public menace. No wonder such men find a flatness in all spiritual worship in churches, where, if the minister is true to his trust) he tells men to live with God as well as with men. and each in order to the other In fullness." si:itn:s OF SERMONS. Dr. Mnnsfleld lie-in on ''Efteiitlnl ChrlNtlan Dorlrlnm." "Cod-thc Effect of a Proper Conception I'pon Character." was the subject of tbe sermon by the Rev. Joshua Stanstield, of Meridian-street Church. last night. It was the first of a series of six Sunday night sermons on "Some Essential Christian Doctrines." He- said in part: "1 submit that no man of any age could have made the God of this Bible. Where would he get his conception from? Abraham. Mofes, Samuel, Solomon, David. Isaiah, the Maccabees, John the Baptist. Jesus Christ. John. Paul. Peter find me any other such list of names of men of moral character and sterling worth in all thv pages of history. What made them the men they were? They had the right conception of God. "The law of God is gracious and merciful. It needed the say so of the Kternal to give man this truth. Notwithstanding the changes and storms and devastations that come into life, nothing but the emphatic statement of God that He is gracious and merciful will bring it into the heart of man. When there comes to us the taking oTt of every hope and the things upon which we have butlded them we hoar God saying. Ing suffering abundant in goodness and truth.' So It comes to us that God s character Is not to be known by reasoning. God's character Is not to be reasoned out from the duty there Is in life. No man by searching can find out God: he cannot know the eternal unto perfection. Cod is only known by faith that marvelous faculty of the soul that something in the heart of the poor, bereaved mother, when it Is of r.o use to speak and when speech Seems almost blasphemy feeling, groping, trying to lav hold of something which will bring relief from srlef-that is faith. It is in my life as cert iln as the power to eat or talk. Cod is to be judged by that sly.th faculty tie fof't' Ik'TIi : :':iifo yo forget

Why Is it that we lind those qualities together only in Him? I do not lind them much together in men and women 1 know. "Goodness we may find in the lives of many persons. But God i not generously good without reference to anything else. A woman was buried at Chicago a little while a;;o. She wanted to pee her son. her only son. before she died. He was in the hands of the police. He was a notorious character and well known to them. It was much desired bv the mother that she see her son. he was blind, but she wanted to 'see' her son. They yielded to her request. hen the on entered the room the officers took their stand at one side. The son went to the bedside and the mother began to 'look upon him with her hands and her heart. Hhe was liftv-lx years of age and brought to the verge of death by the acts of her son 'You've been so good to me! Oh. so poodFO good!' she said to him. That was the burden of all she said. That was goodThat was not goodness as we find it in God. Faith brings God.

I1ACOVS TALK. 11c nevlevr Scene at the "Ecumenical Conference in London. The Rev. C. E. Bacon, pastor of Roberts Park Church, described to his congregation last night some of th-? scenes of the Ecumenical Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in London. He touched upon the effect tbe shooting and the death of the President had on the conference, which was discussed at length by the Journal s London correspondent, Mr. Tuckley, in yesterday morning's paper. Mr. Bacon saw the assembly at St. Faul's Cathedral, the fourth largest church In the world, which had formed for the purpose of praying for the dead President. Th Archbl'hop of Cuitcrbury jr'sMd snl the lord mayor of London and the aldermen of the city were prtsent. The Church of England's impressive srvice for the dead, which is for the great ami the humble alike, was recited. The most sincere note of forlsn sympathy for this country. Mr. Baeon thought, was struck in England. As h pojnted out, the mother country has suffered heavily on a -count of the war in Africa, and it naturally has looked for sympathy to the Fniu'd States. Besides, the Queen England recently lost, said Mr. Bacon, was the dpvoted mother of a faimly. and this still further excited the sorrow of England because of Mr McKinlev's well-known tenderness for 'bis invalid wife. England appreciates far more than the I-Uln countries. Mr. Bacon thought, the glory of a devoted wife and mother. Mr. Bacon described interestingly Wesley Chapel, where the sessions of the Ecumenical Conference were held, and where the leaders of Methodism received the news of the President's varying condition as he lay .itucr nravwl for his recovery. Mr. Bacon took his experience In London to be an aflirmatlon or tne newer mac me secrei or' England's lasting greatness lies in lis faith in Christianity, and he expressed the hope that this shouM be the secret of thi country's prosperity.

Osgood, pastor of Mayflower Congregational Church, preached yesterday morning on "Preparation for Removal." The congregation, which has occupied for several years a structure deign"d for the chapel of the church edifice, as planned, has completed its audiloiium, and it will be dedicated next Sunday. The pastor reviewed the work In the cramped quarters, and suggested that spiritual preparation for the occupancy of the new portion was needed. There will be three servi es next Sunday, the first and third, morning and evening, being conducted by Prof. Graham Taylor, of Chicago, who hoj achieved considerable prominence because of his work in the theological erninarv

and the "Chicago Commons." The dedicatory exercises proper will be held in the afternoon. There will be several sermons by preachers from other churches. At St. Darld'n EpUcopnl Chnrch. The Rev. C. S. Sargent, of St. David's Episcopal Church, last night used for his subject the text taken from the ninth verse of the fifteenth chapter of John: "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you; continue in my love." He said hany had a wrong conception of God, some believing him to be a tyrant, with a watchful eye, ready to trip up the wayward and punish them. The idea is erroneous, he said, because God is a God of love, .and His love is of the highest degree. In olden times, he said, signs were given to men to strengthen their faith, and these signs are still apparent to the Christian. The strengthening of this faith, he said, is essential to the well being of humanity, and no matter how dark the days or how severe the trials there is relief In realizing that God is a God of love. The love of a mother for her child i? generally considered the deepest love of human beings, and is all that the word Implies, he said, but the love of God is the highest degree of love and perfection itself. Iter. K. V. Hunter's Sermon. The Rev. R. V.' Hunter, of the Seventh Presbyterian Church, yesterday morning preached to the congregation of the Second Presbyterian Church. His text was from Judges xl, 34: "The spirit of the Lord came upon Gideon." He said there is a divine element in the will God has given man to choose between right and wrong, and that no better example of it is shown than in the life of Gideon. He said that history is evidence that there is a divine ruling power which directs all great movements. Humility in accepting what is put before us. he said, is the chief virtue of the human soul the force that brings Christianity to the front. This characteristic has been noticeable in all great men, he said, and the absence of it is found in the arrogant and selfish individual. The lesson taught by the faithfulness of Gideon, he said, is one of obedience, and disobedience hinders success. Catholic Service. Commencing this morning, at St. John's Church, the second and closing week of the retreat of the clergy of the diocese of Indianapolis wtll te held. The Rev. James Dowling, of Cincinnati, will continue conducting the services. Father TJowlIng delivered the sermon at th high mass yesterday at St. John's Church, his subject being "Prayer." The story of the Jesuit priests erecting in this city a college and church has again been revived. As yet there is not much interest taken in the matter, it Is said, and there is no I'kelihood of the project being consummated in the near future LOST A FORTUNE.

He says that even with the recent improvement which has rendered the bit le?s severe on the mouths of young horses, there is still a considerable percentage of horses made vicious by undue serevity in the use of the bit. He believes a return to the double rein is fully justified for at least half of each troop. Other recommendations art that the caliber of the cavalry' revolver be enlarged, and that a knapsack or pack be supplied to tho infantry sollier in place of the blanket bag now in use. A significant statement by Chief Surgeon Klmbalf, of this department, is that, "with comparatively few exceptions, youths under twenty years of age are not able to bear up under the hardships and privations of an activ campaign, and ervc only to incumber the hospitals and to diminish the efficiency of the army.". Surprising: progress toward th Kal o 1 5elf-support by the Apache prisoners of war is recorded in an apfendlx by Captain Sayre, in charge of those prisoners. He shows that they now have on hand 2.TS4 head of cattle of their own raising,' that they have built many miles of new fences and repaired as much more of tho old. and that no clothing was issued to them during the year. On the other hand. these Indians are suffering severely from tuberculosis, contracted by them while in captivity in Florida, and there were thirteen more deaths than births among them. They are declared to be generally a moral. Industrious, truthful, honest and docile people. ' DKSKHTKHS I'HOM THE AIMIV. .Most of Thrm Seek Heftige In the Central West. WASHINGTON. Oct. 13. Major General Otis, In his annual report for the Department of the Lakes, says that deserters appear to be increasing and at the date of the general's report, Aug. 7, there was considerably over one hundred such prisoners confined in the guardhouses of the department. The Central States, from which a large portion of the Fnlted States army Is drawn. General Otis says, seem to give great advantages in the way of concealment and occupation to the absconding soldier, and hence the post guardhouses of the Department of the Lakes contain representatives of many military organizations stationed outside the limits of that department. The enlarged reward, however, which is now paid for the arrest and delivery of deserters, has greatly decreased thir former comparative immunity front punishment. T1TLF INSl'RANCF Is no experiment.
