There was a terra'.? at the back, and Miss Nevada made lier first ap)o;iranrr there. She tripped down a short Hlght of steps and then came forward to th- footlights. That was her style of singing, too; she had many little thoatrlcisms to accompany hr soft trills. She manipulated her voice -is Mr. Maquarre played his fiute, but the flute- was purer. In her tirst song, one by Felicien David. Mr. Maquarre played the accompaniment, and the combination so pleased the audience that an encore was strenuously demanded. Thereafter each of Miss Nevada's numbers was followed by an encore. There seemed to be great admiration for her expertness and her lively spirit. The best of the entertainment by far was the 'cello playing of Pablo Casals. He was a stranger, but his return will be heartily welcomed. He was a small young man and pallid-faced, and when he took his Velio between his knees he closed his eys nnd began to play nonchalantly. Pis first number was Coltermann' "Cantilene," and he played it beautifully and powerf ullv. It was a simple and expressive thing and It swayed the audience. Skill, rich. dp tone, high and low. and an admirable personality diso marked his Interpretation of two dancing pieces by Popper, a romanza bv Campagniohi and the encore numbers. He played finely on a perfect instrument. Mr. Maquarre had a silver tlute. and he rdayed on it fascinatingly a Saint -Saens ballet air and a J'hopln waltz. Leon Moreau wa the pianist of the company, and though he played with exactitude and undemontratlvelv he aroused no e ti t husia sm. The lack of luster was partly due to the piano, which seemed to have no music in it. Lout In the liefert" at the Park.

The other two acts of j the play tell how Knowles and his sweet- j heart were made happy at last. 1 he scene of the third act is an Arab prison, and the fourth an Arab camp. The Arabs in the play are Arabs in reality. They are Sie Hassan lien All's tribe, and when they are in camp they give an exhibition of acrobatic feats. Owen Davis, who wrote this melodrama, is as Ingenious as Lincoln J. Carter In constructing situations as exciting as they are absurd. The company is large and efficient. (nrrfnt Ilntrrtainnicnt.

A Tri Im to to Oti Skinner. Oti3 Skinner and his company have begun their New York engagement at the Victoria Theater in Boker's "Francesca da Rimini." William Winter, in the Tribune, says of the play and Mr. Skinner: "It is a dark and sad subject, and the right mood for discussing such a subject cannot always be commanded. The story of Frar.cesca's love and sorrow, immortalized by the greatest of Italians poets, has become embedded for all time in the best literature of the world so that the world knows it by heart; and things known in that way are never forgotten. Mr. Boker's tragedy has long been prized, though more I in the library than in the theater for it is more a dramatic poem than a play. It lends itself, however, to stage treatment: it has sTeat moments, and it is heavily freighted with terror and pity. With sincere and competent actors it could never fail and Mr. Skinner, who now plays Lanclotto. is deeply sincere and thoroughly competent. K. 1. Davenport produced this tragedy in Philadelphia. New York and other cities forty-Mx years ago, and Lawrence Barrett presented it about twenty-five years later. In Davenport's time the Jester was acted by Charles Fisher, and Francesca by Mme. Ponlsl. In Barrett's revival Louis James gained brilliant distinction as the Jester, and Barrett himself, as Lanciotto, rose to a splendid height of passion and of eloquence. It would be difficult to imagine a more pitiable doom, a more disastrous fate than that of Lanciotto a great soul imprisoned in a deformed body; a great I heart broken by a woman's unavoidable ! perfidy; a great mind crazed by a brother's shamerui and yet venial treason: " 'For all the sins of loving hearts Are washed away by love.' "Mr. Skinner brings to the impersonation of this exacting character ripe experience, stalwart vigor and superb energy, and, while winning signal honor for himself, he arouses memory and inspires thought of many noble things, and he much refreshes hope for the future of the stage. There could not. in the dramatic world, be a brighter augury for the New Year." Iiiiii Lehmann nnd Josef llofmnnn. LIM Lehmann gave the last recital of hei New York series yesterday in Carnegie Hall. She had a large audience at each of her four recitals. In the same hall earlier in the week Josef Hoffmann gave a farewell piano-forte recital before starting on his tour.

In Sydney Grundy's "Frocks and Frills." an adaptation from the French, produced to-night by Frederick Harrison and Cyril Maude, at the Haymarket, this theater seems to have secured another genuine Success. The cast included Miss Ellis Jeffreys, Mrs. Charles Calvert, Lottie Venne, Cyril Maude. Allan Aynesworth and Kric Lewis. The play delighted the greater part of the house, but the verdict of approval was not unanimous. Man "boos" from the gallery mingled with th. applause. The galleryites called loudly for the author, and when Mr. Grundy appeared he was greeted with hisses and catcalls, which lasted for some minutes. During all this he stood calmly holding up his hand to Implore silence. When the storm of disapproval subsided Mr. Grundy said: "Ladies and gentlemen, the authors of this play are the late Messrs. Scribe and lxgou e." Amid the discomfited silence of the gallery and the chters and laughter of the rest of the house Mr. Grundy retired. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. W. A.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

K. K. m:al. of vodlesville, ox SENATOR FAIRDAXKS'S SPEECH. The Lntter'n Artdrenn nt the .Marion CTnh Smoker Made Deep Impression Gossip of the Lobby. Edward E. Neal. of Noblesville, candidate for clerk of the Supreme Court, was at the Denison last night, and In speaking of the recent Republican love feast alluded especially to the speech made by Senator Fairbanks at the Marion Club smoker Tuesday night. Mr. Neal thought it was remarkable, not alone for its wording and deliverj't but the effect on the audience. He was Impressed with the fact that perhaps no one stood closer to President McKinley than Senator Fairbanks, who paid the tribute to his memory, and perhaps no one was a closer friend of General Harrison and Governor Mount. "Senator Fairbanks was not well," said Mr. Neal. "but he never delivered a more effective speech, and he was received with enthusiasm. I took some notes of the speech, and feel that the address should be preserved. After a few preliminary words, in which he expressed his pleasure In being present, he spoke of a meeting in this city where Governor Mount and Gen. Harrison were present, and continued as follows: 'I remember now the many distinguished Republicans gathered there for that occasion of great rejoicing. Then the century's mighty achievements were fading into history; we were looking over the border into the new century, one of mighty deeds. I remember that upon that occasion there sat at the banquet table two great men men possessing the confidence of their countrymen; men who had done much for humanity. After all, we regard men only because they do aught for humanity. Monuments are erected to men simply because they have been unselfish in their service to their State and to their country. One of those men was Governor James A. Mount, a pure and upright statesman; a man of irreproachable integrity, of high and patriotic purpose; and the other was one whose name became a household word, not only in the State of Indiana, but in all the States of the Union. It Is a name familiar beyond the seas General Benjamin Harrison. How he lifted up among the people of the world the name of Indiana. How he added to her fame and her prestige. But a lew weeks after that day that General Harrison was apparently in full health and vigor we laid him to everlasting rest. In Crown Hill he sleeps. 1 stood, with many friends about the bier, and with one who then had prospects of long years of honorable service for his countrymen; another whose name was known wherever human language was used. It was the President of the United States paying tribute to the memory of his great predecessor, the greatest President in my judgment, as great at least, as any man who was ever in the executive otfice of this country William McKinley. What a rich harvest death has gathered from the ranks of the Republican party during the year just closing to-night! ' A few months ago we were startled by the Intelligence which came from Buffalo; we were startled by the intelligence that the President of the United States had fallen by the hands of an assassin. We could not believe the report. The President who loved his countrymen, loved his fellowmen who would wish to strike him down? He was the very incarnation of justice and virtue. Ptrre in purpose, pure in deed, pure in person. He looked the President. There ascended from the hearts of eighty millions of people in the United States yes, from the hearthstones of millions beyond the seas prayers to the great white throne that our President might live. But it was ordered otherwise, and with sublime courage and great faith he breathed a farewell message to his wife he loved so well: "Good-bye. good-bye, it is God's way; His will, not ours, be done," and the spirit of our great Republican leader ascended, and to-night in faith we can see the great immortal trinity Washington, Lincoln, McKinley. Those who read the words of the Master see In all that has transpired a farreaching Providence. Appreciation for this great love has been accentuated. We are taught the beauty of right living and the sublimity of right thinking. " 'These of our great leaders have fallen, but great problems confront us which invite the intelligent consideration of loyal Republicans. If we are but true to the exalted principles and policies that were accentuated in the life of William McKinley we shall be a better party, a better people, a stronger and more beneficent nation. Fellow Republicans, I have come simply to greet you. I have come simply to wish you a happy New Year. The past year, with its tragic incidents, its historic events, shows to us this fact to be true that with all our wisdom and with all the &lfts with which a beneficent Providence has endowed the wisest of us, we can see but a litle way beyond the veil of the future. We know but little that is coming to pass. All this Illustrates the necessity of having our government In the hands of a strong, intelligent, patriotic party, such as the Republican party; a party that always has the highest judgment; a party of patriotic purpose, always right on the great questions that come to us In our march from the cradle to the grave. I love the Republican party, not merely because it is the Republican party; not because of what It has done only; but I like it because of its power to accomplish great things, in a great way, for a great people. With out duties at home and abroad, how wide Is the opportunity! It is an opportunity to a patriotic people. We have many responsibilities and great problems. They will not be solved in this vear that is before us. In the years to come' they will be with us in the United States. In this closing hour of the old year, the first year of the new century, I here and now. with you. dedicate myself and my services to our beloved country and our flag.' " 4 r rinLic nrvs mo it 12 soap. Inn Traveling Salesmen Talk of Their Prosperity ln tne en 1001. Charles Schmidt and "Jim" Malone, two traveling men who represent one of the largest soap factories in the country, happened to meet at the Denison Hotel yesterday. They said the year l&n was the most prosperous for the soap trade that had been experienced for five years. They did not attempt to say that people now keep themselves cleaner than formerly, but they did declare that more soap was bought last vear than the year before. "It can be explained in this way. I think." said Malone. "Our soap is mostly used bv working jople. For the last year or two they have had money to buy soap and they have bought plenty of it. What did thev do when they didn't have money? No. they didn't go without soap. But they got out and made their own soap. It didn't cost much to make it and served the purpose in a way. Now things are prosperous, everybody has money and no one has to make his own soap. See the point?" "Yes." interpolated Schmidt, "my business has almost doubled itself in the last year. I think I have averaged 1,000 boxes a month and that is double the amount that I sold the previous year." TASTE FOR -Ml SIC IMPROVING. ('. M. Parker IIa Been Watehlns: Its Development Twenty-Five Yearn. "I think the music standard Is much ! higher ln this country than It was five years I ago," -aid C. M. Parker, at the Hotel i English last night, "and I think it is large ly due to the Introduction of good music In the public schools." Mr. Parker was here with his wife and a. company of musicians Miss Lee. Miss Alexander, Miss Verne and Miss Boynton. They are known as the Parker Concert Company. Wednesday 1 ight they gave a concert at Ladoga, Montgomery county, and ct:ne here yesterday to attend the Nevada concert. The Parkers recently have made a tour of the Dakotas and have been down Into Oklahoma. Mr. Parker says the same high grade of music that is appreciated in this part of the country is demanded by the Oklahoma people. In South Dakota they found as discriminating audiences as they have found anywhere. Mr. Parker has been in the concert business for twenty-

five years and made some interesting comparisons of the music sung when he begin the business and the kind given these days. "It used to be," said he. "that the people wanted a song with a story to it. Now they want technic and execution. I remember that 'Minnie Minton' was an old-time concert selection. Then, about war time, there came out the sung 'Just Before the Battle. Mother.' and it was very popular, it was a story told in verse. I also remember "Katie Lee and Willie Gray. another song that told a storv." Mr. Parker said that "The Last Rose of Summer" has been as popular as any song, if not the most popular song ever written. "I believe." said he. "that the Salvation Army songs are doing a great deal of good. There are many people traveling the streets to-day who. if they were to come across a famous vocalist singing an aria from some grand optra. on the corner, would perh.ips

stop a moment to find out what the brawl was about and then pass on. But let them hear a Salvation Army song and they stop to listen, for there is a kind of jingle and rhythm about it that they like." YOLWCi MAX FROM JAPAN. Mr. t'tnro llnnhlmoto I Here to 1 live ti gate Beer Brewing. The fame of American beer seems to have gone to Japan ami some American ideas in the brewing line are wanted over there. With this thought in vkw a young man whose card reads "Mr. Utaro Hashimoto," representing a brewing establishment In Tokio, is traveling in this country. He arrived at the Grand Hotel last night and to-day will see how the beverage is brewed in Indianapolis. The young man says he was very much Impressed with the Milwaukee breweries. He speaks English with much difficulty and has considerable trouble in making himself understood. An interpreter has been traveling with him part of the time. He is paying particular attention to the American methods of bottling and refrigerating. Too Slow In VlrRlnln. "I never Was so glad to see Indianapolis In my life," said P. H. Ilodson. of Anderson, depositing a traveling bag on the desk of the Stubbins Hotel last night. Mr. Hodson has been spending a little time in old Virginia with his daughter, who is in school at Roanoke. He declares he wouldn't live in Virginia under any circumstances. Things are too slow down there for him. Mr. Hodson has disposed of business interests at Anderson and will come to Indianapolis to live. Potentate Brown Entertnlnn. Chalmers Brown, potentate of Murat Temple, Mystic Shrine, gave a smoker at the Denison Hotel last night to the officers of the shrine. Mr. Brown is now starting on his fifth year as potentate of Murat Temple. About thirty-five were present last night. There were somer informal talks but no regular programme o'f speech-making. Money for the Employes. The membership of the Columbia Club remembered the employes of the establishment New Year's day and over ?6o0 in cash presents was distributed by the superintendent. The employes were naturally verj' grateful for the remembrance and desire to express their gratitude. Xote of the Hotel. Fred Matthews, of Bloomington, was at the Hotel English yesterday. Leonidas N.

The last thing the members of Trinity Congregational Church did last night at their annual meeting was to release themselves from further assistance from the Home Missionary Board of New Y'ork. For several years this church, which has grown from a small mission, has contemplated freeing itself from the mission board. At the annual meeting-s held for the past three years the reports of the financial board always suggested this action. Each time it was taken under consideration by the church, and committees were appointed to canvass the situation. From reports received it was found that many of the members of the congregation did not feel they could spare the donations, and twice the matter was deferred. On the call for the report of the financial board last night the matter of self-support was again suggested. A few members of the congregation gave reasons why such action should not be taken this year. It was said by one of the men present that the last installment of money received from the Home Missionary Board JoOO was to be the last received. The church has been paying $5S1 on the pastor's salary, which is $781, and the remainder of the money was given by this board. The pastor. Rev. Levi White, put the suggestion as a motion before the congregation last night, and it was adopted unanimously. Mr. White then said that Trinity Congregational Church was the youngest in the State of Indiana to decide to receive no further support from the Home Missionary Board, the church being five years old. The meeting began with the reading of the reports of the treasurers of the different departments of the church. The church treasurer's report showed that 5;t7!U was collected durinj? the year. Of this $h.m was paid out, leaving a balance of J15-'.r6. One of the big reports read was that of the Ladies' Aid Society. The society collected $16.5.12. Fifty-two dollars of this was used for the running expenses of the church, and $40 for the church building fund. The Eadies' Aid Society and the Missionary Society gave to missionary work during the year $110. On the church roll there are now members, a net gain of forty-five. The Sunday school collected during the year $155.10. Two resolutions were also adopted. One advocated an addition to the by-laws to the effect that where an officer of the church had failed to give the proper attention to the duties of his office for three months the office shall become vacant and remain so until the next annual meeting. The other provides that the congregation shall borrow enough money to liquidate the $200 indebtedness due on the building lot where the parsonage is to be erected. At the conclusion of the reports the following officers were elected: Clerk. O. B. Ball; trustee, W: L. Dynes; treasurer, Lawrence' Swartllng; deacons, Frank Hoffmr, Seraphim Ashjian and A. S. Trees: financial board, Charles Duvall, John Barrett, W. H. Scott, Mrs. Niemeier and Mrs. Swartllng; Sunday school superintendent, W. E. Brown; music committee, B. S. Gadd, J. W. Dawson. Mrs. L.
