A new season of vaudeville opened at the Grand Opera House yesterday, and there were two big. good-humored audiences. Tbe Russell brothers return to this city after several years' absence to be the principal entertainers this week. "The Irish Chambermaids'" used to fling their rough repartee at their audiences from a stage set as a bed room. Their talk was strung together incoherently. One told the other about her experiences at a party, describing in detail how. when she conaented to sing, someone cut the chandelier down on her. Now, the Russells have a short farce, written for them by George Cohan, and have two assistants in the acting of it. John impersonates Maggie Moeney. servant to Mrs. Olive Bankroll, and James is Rosie O Grady, who work for the family living next door to the Bankrolls. Maggie and Rosie clash desperately over the love of a policeman, and Kosie Invades the Bankroll mansion to get the beau. who. she is informed, is being entertained there. Mrs. Bankroll mistakes Rosie for a woman who has a claim on her husband, but the fun loes not come out of this farclal complication; it comes, as it always does when the Ruasells are active, from their burlesquing of the young Irish woman-of -all-work. The colors of their clothes scream discordantly, they strut, they take Insult easily. Hay each other with bowery language and each is nrrn in the belief that she is a "lady." The farce, which is called "A Romance of New Jersey," is full of laughter for the free minded. The good music of the bill is given by the Lowe-Hughes trio. Two men and a woman open the act conventionally with stirer bells, improve it on metallophone and copper-bronze gongs, and wind up triumphantly on xylophones. They mix good and commonplace music effectively; use all the resources of their instruments and win several encores. Not the least of their merits Is that they go about their business quietly; they attempt no "comedy." Green and Werner hn an .i t fh.it they call "Babies In the Woods." A good idea Is poorly developed, and the effect of bad stage manager lent is almost pathetic. The scene Is an African Jungle, and a man and a woman, as Zulus, sing a song that is American but might well be taken for Zulu. There is a dartre, too. that Is clever. Instead of keeping th illusion whole the players appear first in evening dress and sing, then chungs to their outlandih costume, and. linuUy. retaining the Zulu regalia, come out i;. ' one to entertain the audience whil the next scene is being sat. Green and Werner have a valuable piece of propertv In their Zulu burlesque if they work it out as they should. Liisle and Vlnle Daly, relatives of the dancing Daly family, including the distinguished Dan. dan. . .tc.iln thHr old-time dances. They have become an institution la Vaudeville and are respected as well aa admired. Th elder woman is almost revered, one might say, for the seriousness with which she works. There are ter dancers In vaudeville. Ooggin and Davis are scrobats and a salens, and the three Millettes are sc robe is in evenlr.g dress. One member of

the Goeeln and Davis tam is an unusually

good eccentric dancer and he has a startling flip, alighting on the hands. The othfr man also is a skillful tumMr. The Millette? show interesting hand balancing and tumbling. The Young America Quintet, four boys and a girl, produce with their voices the sort of harmony known In one atrata as "barber shop chords.' No member of the quintet has been trained to sing properly, but collectively they make the theater resound as If they were imitating a pipe organ, and they please the majority. Their songs are old and most of them put together in medleys. The bioscope shows pictures of the coronation parade and the waves coming in at sr, England, besides a lot of comic incidents. The rtoplans at the Empire. "The Utopians," which opened the regular season of the Empire yesterday afternoon, demonstrates clearly that a rattling good burlesque show can be put on without dabbling in dirt. The show is clean, or practically so. The few vulgarisms that appear are rather risque than nasty. The noisy approval of a house crowded from pit to roof was evidence that indecency is not a requisite. Parts of the show were ruined for people on the ground floor by the shrieks, yells and whistles that came from the balcony and the gallery. The management should see that this is suppressed. Two burlesques and the olio make up "The Utopians." The opening burlesque Is called "The Magic Hat." and the fun of the piece turns on the strange adventures of those who wear the headpiece. Every wish expressed by the wearer is granted with promptitude by the powers that toss it from one to another. John W. Jess, who understands the art of being funny, is the life of "The Magic Hat," as he is of the closing piece. The olio opens with the La Velles, acrobatic dancers. Their work has some originality, particularly that of the woman, whose dizzy whirlings from the axis of her own elbow are somewhat startling. Their "Svengali Doll" turn is not in the least interesting, having been worn out by others who cams before. Joseph Madden and John W. Jess are very tiresome when they commence their dialogue of Irishisms, but they warm up to their work in a surprising manner. Jess is worth hearing. The Josselln trio of acrobats have made no change in their act, and it is only moderately Interesting. Mark and Kitty Hart ramble through an inane sketch whose sole excuse for existence seems to be the advertisement of a brand of whisky. Charles E. Foreman sings sentimental songs, one or two of which are more than usually silly. The show ends with the old "Hotel Razzle Dazzle." In this Jess displays ability considerably above the mediocre in the part of O'Donovan McCann. an Irishman, who wanders into a hostelry kept by an impossible Hebrew. There is enough go and dash to the piece to supplement the work of Jess. The choruses are sung better than ordinary, and the girls of the show are pleasing to the eye. The brightness and cleanliness of the costumes Is commendable. "The Utopians" will occupy the week at the Empire, giving matinees every afternoon. "Two Little Waifs'' at Park. Lincoln J. Carter's "Two Little Waifs," a melodrama that has pleased crowded houses at the Park before, opened a three days' engagement at that theater yesterday. The house was crowded at both performances. One of the principal features of the performance is the acting of the two Lamb children who have the title role. From the start they elicited an intense sympathy from the audience by their intelligent conduct. The story is one of double dealing, heart-breakings, adversity and final happiness. It takes Ave acts to put all the characters through their parts and these Ave acts are made abundantly pleasing by scenic effects that are truly Carterian. There are moving clouds, a rising moon, a lawn fete and a Christmas toy shop to complete the realism of the play. The waifs are the children of Wayne Fleming, who has been mistaken as to his wife's dutifulness through the machinations of Lyman Pendevllle, whom A. G. Edwarde made a splendid villian. Joseph W. Walsh as Wayne Fleming was unusually effective and Delia Morton as Nell, his wife, played the double role of wronged wife and the twin sister that wrought her ruin for love of Pendevllle. The whole action of the play seemed to meet with full sympathy of the audience. James T. McElherne as Richard III, Edna Reming as Pinkie, and Francis Pierlot as Officer Flanagan, have much to do in furnishing the comedy element, and their efforts gained abundant applause. "The Two Little Waifs" is wholesome, full of action, and its scenes are intelligently and handsomely made. It will give performances to-day and to-morrow, being followed by AI. W. Martin's "Uncle Tom's Cabin.",, Stnsxera at Fair Bank. The three singers appearing at Fair Bank this week offer programmes including popular ballads and operatic selections. They pleased a large crowd last evening and were encored many times. Miss Maude Angell sang "For All Eternity." "Who'll Buy My Lavenders?" and "Story of the Rose." Katherine Leslie included in her programme "The Sunday Afternoon." "Just Because Love You So" and "The Game of Eyes." W. Frederick Holcombe was encored so many times he sang five numbers "Song of Thanksgiving.' "Were I a Star." "Toreador's Love," "Good-bve" and "My Old Kentucky Home." To-night he will include "Answer" in his programme. The remainder of the concert is furnished by a complete string orchestra. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mr. B. F. Hitz is spending three weeks In New York.

IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE A QL'ORl'M ON A HOLIDAY. A Special Meet in of the Body May Be Called for One Day the Latter Part of the Week. Seven councilmen were In the Council chamber last night. They were Vice President Rhodes and Councilmen Cooper, Negley, Meyer, Sourbier, Berry and McFarland. Sergeat-at-arms Dawson, Assistant City Clerk Kaiser and a reporter were also present. The roll was called and no quorum being present adjournment was taken. The seven councilmen present then understood the joke that the other fourteen members played on them. All the members present except Negley are serving their first terms and the memory of the oldest member does not recall when the Council met on a holiday. It is likely a special meeting of the Council will be held the last of the week to transact such business as would have come before the meeting last night. Mr. McFarland. chairman of the public health committee, was not prepared with a report on the gas meter ordinance. The Irony of fate is pursuing this committee. The Council took the ordinance from the committee on contracts and franchises because It could not agree on a report. Three members favored a favorable report, three opposed the ordinance and one was not ready to sign either report. Mr. McFarland now finds his committee divided the same. He favors the ordinance, Mr. Warweg. the Democratic member, opposes it and Mr. Crall is not ready to sign either report, but if he signs any he will sign the opposition report.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

CHARLES MAJOR BACK FROM VACATION 8PEXT IN MAINE. He Will loon Go to New York on Business -Conditions In i Hotel Visitors. Charles Major, the Indiana author, was in town yesterday, and dropped into the Hotel English for a few minutes. He has just returned from his summer's outing at Polland Springs, Me., where he spent the time quietly with Mrs. Major. He went away in search of health, and his personal appearance indicates that he found it. He came back much improved, and is now prepared for work. While at Polland Springs he kept himself away from the world as much as possible, and read neither letters nor papers. Within a few days Mr. Major will leave for New York on business. His chief mission is to see what is to be done about putting "Dorothy Vernon" on the stage. A number of women have been suggested to him for the part of Dorothy, but he has not decided what he will do. He says if he is allowed to have his way "Dorothy Vernon" will not be put on the stage this fall. He thinks it best to wait until next season. Effle Ellsler will play "When Knighthood Was in Flower" this season in cities where Miss Marlowe has not played the piece. Miss Ellsler opened in "Knighthood" last week in New York. Mr. Major has received word from England that "Knighthood" is to be produced there this season. Mr. Major has another story almost finished, which he has not yet named. He declines to discuss it further than to say "it is a modern novel." He thinks a week's work would complete It, but he has no time set in which to do this work. Mr. Major thinks he made a mistake in announcing the title of his last story before It was really finished. Within a week after "Dorothy Vernon" came out two other stories of the same name were put on the market and are still being sold. The author of the real "Dorothy Vernon" says he has read neither of the others. e LANDIS AND GOODRICH. The Former Tells About an Old-Time Game of Ball. Chairman Goodrich, of the Republican state committee, and Representative Landis, of the Ninth district, were chatting in the lobby of the Hotel English yesterday evening. The chairman had been out to the baseball game and was telling about it. "That reminds me," said the congressman, "that about the most interesting game of ball I ever saw was one I took part in about twenty-six years ago in Butler county, Ohio. The game was between the Seven Mile team and the Jacksonburg boys. 1 think the score was something like 75 to 63. I remember we played with a ball that in those days we called a 'bounding rock.' It was hard as a rock and was Well named. I belonged to the Seven Mile team. I remember one of the players was a young fellow named Andy Long. He owned a ball bat he had made himself and when he hit that ball it usually went out of sight." Before leaving home yesterday Mr. Landis received a telegram from Secretary Cortelyou in regard to President Roosevelt's speeches at Noblesville and Tipton on Sept. 23. The secretary wired that the President's train will reach Tipton at 9:40 o'clock the morning of the 23d and will remain there fifteen minutes, leaving at 9:55 for Noblesville. where another stop of fifteen minutes will be m ide. From Noblesville the train will proceed to Indianapolis. The rrain will als. St o at Kokomo. Mr Landis is In receipt of a letter from Milton E. Alles, assistant secretary of the treasury, who fays he will be happy to make a speec i in Indiana during the coming campaign. Mr. Landis thinks this speech should lc made In Indianapolis. 'Mr. Landis has not decided definitely whether he will attend the Alabama state convention. He has received an urgent invitation to attend and may do so. On Wednesday of next week Mr. Landis will attend the Crawfordsville fair with Mr. Wilson, the secretary of agriculture. BDITOR W ELM AN IN TOWN. He Says He Will Make a Few Speeches for Mlers. Charles W. Welman, editor and publisher of the Sullivan Times, one of the ultra Bryan newspapers of the State, was in town last night. "No, I've not sold my newspaper to Bob Miers." he snapped, when asked about the rumor to that effect. Mr. Welman explained that the rumor arose on account of another deal that was on some time ago by which Representative Ira Larr, of Sullivan, was to connect himself with the Times. This deal, however, fell through and Welman still remains at the helm. Some months ago the Sullivan Times was showing its teeth at the very mention of Mlers's name. The editor wrote a good many very saucy things about Miers, apologizing to the public for his attitude, on the ground that Mlers had proved a traitor to the Bryan cause. To the casual observer all is well between Mr. Miers and Mr. Welman at this time. Miers journeyed down to Sullivan the other day and after a conference or two succeeded in convincing the editor of the Times that he (Miers) still had his feet firmly planted on the Kansas City platform, a structure that is very dear to the hearts of some of the Democracy these days. Since these conferences the Times has been supporting Miers after a fashion. Welman declared last night that he is sincere in his support of the Democratic candidate for Congress, notwithstanding some people In his locality are smiling to themselves when they read the Times. Welman asserts that he is going into the field to make some speeches for Mlers. He is not feeling kindly disposed toward some of the Republicans of his district who have said very aggravating things about him. "Even if I didn't want to support Mr. Miers," he said last night, "I'd have to now on account of the attitude of some of the Republicans toward me." a DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE. Albert Schoonover Not Beady to Make Political Predictions. Albert Schoonover, a modest young man who was put on the Democratic state ticket to make the race against Daniel E. Storms for the office of secretary of state, was at the Grand Hotel last night. Mr. Schoonover lives at Attica. He was on hip way to the Eighth district to look after his Interests in that locality. Mr. Schoonover is exceedingly modest and does not claim that the State will be Democratic by a great many thousand. "I see that Mr. Storms has been making predictions that the State will go 30,000 Republican." said he last night. "I'm not going to make a prediction now because 1 want to be corect when I make one. I prefer to be like Sherlock Holmes, who met a friend one day whom he had not seen for some time. "You are seven pounds and a quarter heavier than you were when I last saw you," remarked Holmes. 'No,' 1 weight just seven pounds more than when you saw me last.' replied his friend. T must disagree with you there,' said Holmes. 'You will find that you weigh just seven and a quarter more. You have been weighing on different scales, have you not?' Holmes's friend admitted that he had. T thought so.' replied Holmes. T did not think I could be mistaken about your w iht.' When I make a guess on the State." continued Mr. Schoonover, "I want to be something near as accurate as Sherlock Holmes in guessing his friend's weight." "Then you'll make your guess the ftay after election." someone remarked to Mr. Schoonover. and he admitted that would probably be the time he would guess. Ciood Conditions In Vlaro. John O. Piety, a Republican politician of Terre Haute, was In town yesterday and remarked that "things are looking good down our way.'" He alluded to the political conditions in Terre Haute and the Fifth district. "One thing that looks favorable to use," he said. "Is the fact that the Democrats had a very difficult time in getting anybody to run for Congress. Now. I as a matter of fact, there are at least six

men In the Fifth district who would be only too glad to run for Congress on the Democratic ticket if they had any Idea there was a chance to win The fact that a candidate was found after considerable difficulty is an indication that the ambitious Democrats of the district had no hope of winning or they would not have allowed the nomination to go begging. Things look well for the Vigo county ticket also."

Lincoln League Work. R. Harry Miller, president of the Lincoln League of Indiana, was at the Hotel English yesterday. He came over from Fairmount to talk to the officers at State headquarters and to go to the ball game. President Miller has recently returned from an outing at Lake Wawasee and is preparing to take the league into a winning campaign. Within a few days the county managers wil be appointed by the district organizers. President Miller says that soon after the 20th of September, league headquarters will be opened in the Majestic building, adjoining the headquarters of the State committee. It is the purpose of the league to co-operate with the State committee. President Miller hopes to make the league organization thorough this campaign and to carry it Into every township. Two years ago Hamilton county was the banner league county, having in the neighborhood of 4.000 to 5,000 members. Henry W. Lawrence Returns. Henry W. Lawrence, proprietor of the Hotel English, has returned from a trip to the St. Lawrence river. He visited NewYork also and returned much Improved in health. OLD MAN SAT ON THE CURB HE WAS SO WEARY HE COULD NOT PROCEED FURTHER. Thomas I. odder, a Peddlar of St. Joe, Mich., Will Have to Answer a Charge of Vagrancy. An old man sat on a curbstone in front of a South Illinois-street siore yesterday afternoon. His clothing was in rags, his shoes so worn that the soles had parted from the uppers and were gaping like the jaws of a small animal. His head was bowed in his arms, and his attitude was one of extreme dejection. From a battered hat white hair escaped and fell over the old face. Nowsboys, in whom there Is rev erence neither for the aged nor infirm, danced on the corner and wiggled soiled fingers at the mournful figure. "Wonder where the old g-7 got his load?" they asked themselves, with other queries bearing on intoxication In advanced stages. One or two, with a certain facetiousness, proffered papers and were not quieted by the silence that met them. Two bicycle patrolmen came around a come, riding slowly. They dismounted and went up to the bowed figure. Morgan shook him gently and Simon raised him from the sidewalk. The newsboys, in an interested group under an awning, held their breath and awaited further developments, which past experience told them meant the calling of the police station and the rapid approach of the patrol wagon, something never to be missed, even when trade was good. "Here, what's the matter?" said Simon. "Are you sick? Have you been hurt?" The queer figure straightened Itself, and a quavering voice told the "bike" men a story. He was not drunk that was plain, but it was also plain that he was sick and very weary. He was from St. Joe, Mich., he said, and was a peddler. He was tired, so tired that he could not walk farther or even stand, and thsre was no place to go. He had rested on the curb and had fallen asleep, even while the rush of feet was passing around him. He told the patrolmen that he was seventy-eight years old, and he looked older a man already In the shadows. His name, he said, was Thomas Leddey. The patrol wagon came, and the newsboys watched with their eyes big with surprise the two bikemen help the old man carefully Into the wagon. "Cops." they knew from the wealth of vast experience, were not wont to be so tender with waifs of any age, and they marveled. At the station he was locked up because there was nothing else to do with him. A charge of vagrancy was placed opposite his name. Street Car Struck a Wagon. East Washington car No. 760 collided with a wagon loaded with stone yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the corner of New Jersey and Washington streets. Ed Beamer, driver, was knocked from the wagon, but escaped injury. Four horses were attached to the wagon and two of these were badly injured. They were taken from the street and later killed. The wagon was demolished. None of the passengers was Injured. EYES SPEAK Volumes, at times, of woman's happiness or misery. The dull, sunken eye, with its dark circles almost surely speaks of womanly ill-health, and its attendant suftering. With the dull eye goes usually the sallow, sunken cheek, the drawn mouth, the shrunken form the whole glory of woman's beauty marred by the effects of disease. Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription cures the diseases which undermine the health and mar the beauty of women. It establishes regularity, dries weakening drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, and cures female weakness. Sick women are invited to consult Dr. Pierce by letter free, ami so obtain the advice of a specialist upon their disease. All correspondence is strictly private and sacredly confidential. Address Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y. "With pleasure I send a few lines to let you know that I feel much better than for eight vears before taking vour medicine." writes Mrs. "Pierce Geise. of Sj2 West Phila Street, York. Pa.
