EMPIRK Variety. and 8 p. m. Mla llmplii lO " at KnulUh . "Miss Simplicity," a musical comedy by R A. Barnet and H. Hearts, was presented at English s last evening by Frank Daniels and his company, who have carried it over from last season. Mr. Barnet's plot is conventional and his dialogue la dull. Mr. Heartx's music is noisy. Mr. Daniels and his chorus give the entertainment what merit it has. His droll affectation of Innocence remains smutting anl his originality is admirable, but those qualities do not prevent "Miss Simplicity" from becoming wearisome toward its end. Titas chorus sings and dances smartly. There are a few new songs In the show, the best of them one named "Babette." by Paul West. Mr. Daniels. In this, tells of his former wife, who was a medium. lie heard spirits kiss her and open his , but he could not lay hands on mem.

2

Uti wife to his angry protestations an iwered that "they were friends of hers hanging around." He retains the song about the boy that stole the "collection." and. In the penitentiary, was appropriately Klven the office of superintendent of the Hunday school. The caricature of Dr. Munyon, which is by this time well worn, is done by Douglass Flint, instead of William Danforth. who is not now a member of the company. Miss Grace Orr Meyer, who is pretty and has a small, clear voice. impersonates Mair, and Miss Mat Ixwcry is Rosalie, the beggar girl. Miss Isabelle D'Armonde attracts favorable attention in the small part of MsifjsiJT The scenery has not been renewed since last season and is shabbv in spots. I spitp all drawbacks. Mr. Daniels, untiring and resourceful, pleased his audlpnce and was called before the curtain

for a speech. He delivered the rigmarole of long words that he has been using on these occasions for three or four years, and It was received again with laughter. The audience, however, was hardly half as large as has been customary on Mr. .'aniels's visits. Another performance of "Miss Simplicity" will be given this evening. Vaudeville at the Grand. Mls. Itta Gladstone works so close to the fact in a caricature of the country girl in this week's vaudeville at the Grand that it is almost pathetic. She wears pitiable linery, tells about her trip to the city and about the doings of her stupid family back on the farm. She interjects a loud and infectious laugh frequently. Better still are Miss Gladstone's imitations of an Irish woman, a little girl, an indulgent mother, A toothless grandmother and a boy that refuses to "recite" because he has come to the party without his supper, expecting ice cream and cake, and, disappointed in not rinding those delicacies, "his stomach hurts." His mother is mortified, the Irish woman would "mortify" the boy if he were hers, the mother is afraid to rpank the child "on an empty stomach" and the Krandmother suggests that he be "turned over." Miss Gladstone's material obviously has been gathered from observation of life - the country and she reproduces the effects with hue skill. A European ventriloquist. Lieutenant Noble, shows several automatons, among them a crow. The bird seems to speak and sunr. and his throat feathers and tall move naturally. It is a remarkable bit of construction. The act has the merit of foreign interest and style. Miss Jessie Dale sings ballads. The Rosso w midgets pursue the Same routine that they have used for eight or ten years in this city; Charlie sings several songs in a voice that is rather a Hqueal and he and his brother do simple tumbling and lively boxing. The man of the team of Forrester and Floyd has a eoster song and costume that are interesting, but he and his partner spend most of their time in exploiting jokes that were not funny even when they were new. Their humor, however, is no" more disheartening than that of Lew Wells, who dismally attempts to be a comedian and a musician at once. His fun is as stale and drerry as has been offered In this vaudeville house since its opening. He tries to extract melody from bells, a metallaphone and a saxaphone and fails painfully in each case. Fred Leslie exhibits some trained dogs. Some of the animals do conventional tricks and others do leaping that is not surprising. The day of the leaping hound on the stage seems to have passed. But Leslie's doRs do better than he does. IFe wears a shabby dress suit that looks as if he had walked on a country road in it, and he has an assistant so poorly dressed that he sugKests a tramp that has collected an old, fraternal-society uniform. The act is badly put on the stage. This evening the receipts of the theater will be given to Mrs. Frank Fisher, whose husband is at a local hospital. She will sing and dance in the bill. The theater will be filled for the benefit. The Elks have soid many tickets. Melodrama at the Park. The badger game is the subject of "On the Road to Ruin." a melodrama at the Park Theater. Jack Morton, a college boy, returns to his home town, where his mother and his sweatheart await him. But he is met by a vicious woman that has known him in New York and she persuades him to go to the metropolis with her. They are followed by Morton's fiancee, who is determined to save him from ruin. The bad woman ahd her husband arrange to blackmail Morton, but when the three are together in a room Morton shows fight. He and the woman's husband, in their struggle, fall out of a window and light on a ledge one story below. It happens that just within a window on this floor is the good girl. She pushes Morton's adversary off the ledge and drags her foolish lover in. He decides to reform and the good girl at length is rewarded with his love. The fight on the window ledge is the principal scene of the play, and it is shown by a mechanical contrivance. In the second act of the piece there is a dance by Harry and Sadie Fields that enlivens matters. Another play will be put on at the Park for the latter half of the week. Variety at the Empire. Tenley and Slmonds, after a period In vaudeville, have gone back to the "variety." They appeared yesterdad with the "Dainty Duchess" Company, which opened at the Empire Theater. The two men have a sidewalk sketch not differing from others, except that Tenley is funny. Tenley plays the "rough" end of the act, and produces the greater part of the mirth. Slmonds is the well-dressed half, and assists his partner considerably. The olio is made up of several strong acts. The four Silvanis, two women and two men, have an act full of acrobatic work and feats of strength. The quartet appears in full evening dress, pays strict attention to its work, gets through with it in a hurry and leaves the stage followed by loud applause. Freddy Joelson, a seventeen-year-old boy with a strong voice, sings several new songs, which he illustrates with the stereoptican. Joelson closes his act with clever whistling in imitation of a mocking bird. Lillian Washburn and George Topack retain their same sketch, "The Sporting Editor." and it has not lost any of its mirth. Topack is the same funny man that he has always been. Babe and Dolores De Graff have a well-dressed singing and dancing act. Harry Lester and Lou Anger Impersonate two ignorant Germans. In so doing they mangle the English language The show opens and closes with burlesque. In these acts Nellie Sylvester takes the leading part. She sings a number of songs and is assisted by a chorus. Composer Mascajcnl Retaliates. BOSTON, Nov. 10. I'ietre Mascagni, the composer who was arrested Saturday night on a mesne process in a suit brought by his former managers, Mittenthal Brothers, was released after a hearing in the Superior Court to-day on $4,000 bond, which he furnished himself. Mascagni immediately retaliated by suing the Mittenthals for $50,000 damages for alleged false arrest. When Mascagni appeared before Judge Braley under the Mittenthal proceeding, the court suggested that counsel in the case hold a conference and decide upon some date when the full merits of the controversy could be argued. In the meantime the court told the lawyers that M.i.ctgni was a foreigner and a great composer and should receive every courtesy from Americans. To this end judge Braley advised that Mascagni be DOl held in this city under excessive bail, und suggested that by furnishing $4.000 bail Mascagni could continue his tour In this country. The lawyers agreed to this and the composer at once put up the money. Subsequently the suit against the Mittenthals for $30.000 damages was instituted, and an attachment was served upon the Mittenthals. The trial of the suit will not take place for some time. It is stated that Masi i,ni will resume his tour in this country. Hall Calne Improving;. BALTIMORK. Nov. 10 Mr. Hall Calne. w ho has been here superintending the production of his play. "The Eternal City." at Ford's Opera House, and who has been so 111 as to require the services of a physician and on which account his wife hurried here from the Kast. left to-day for New York. h companted by Mrs. Calne, his condition being much improved. It was thought for a while that Mr. Calne was threatened with typhoid fever, but it ptwad to be only a case of indigestion and nervous prostration. Males of Property. The largest of the twenty real estatetransfers recorded yesterday was that of Curtis C. Paddock to Mattle Helm of property in Washington township for $6.700. The New York Investment Company trans, ferred to Mary C. Martin thirteen lots in the New York addition for $6.000. The oroo-

erty on the corner of Northwestern avenue and Twenty-sixth street, owned by Anna M Sanders, was sold to Madison Hayes for $3.000. A $2,000 sale was that of John P. Smith to E. D. Hunt of a lot on Eastern avenue near New York street.

LICENSE TO SELL LIQUOR REMONSTRANCE AGAINST PHILIP HOFFBAl'ER, JR., NOT SUFFICIENT. A Fight Made Before the Commissioners by the Anti-Saloon League Officers. The County Commlsioners yesterday granted Philip Hoffbauer, Jr., a license to run a saloon at li37 Hill avenue. The granting of the license was opposed by the Anti-Saloon League, and through its attorney, Charles J. Orbison, recently filed a remonstrance against the application. Y'esterday the commissioners heard the testimony of those persons opposed to the saloon. A number of the witnesses testified that the place was morally unfit to be licensed, and that Hoffbauer in his conduct of the place prior to the expiration of the present license has permitted minors to visit the saloon and has allowed men to become too drunk in the place to be able to get home. Several witnesses, minors, testified that they had been in the saloon and bought "soft drinks." All of them acknowledged that they had misrepresented their age to the proprietor. Qne witness whose testimony was intended to establish the allegation that Hoffbauer frequently sold enough liquor to a man to make him drunk was W. J. Okey. Okey was formerly connected with the ministry, and is active in his opposition to saloons in general and Hoffbauer's place in particular. He testified that he had carried his father out of the place because he was intoxicated. He was asked if his lather was an habitual drinker and he replied that he was "shame on him for it." In trying to refute the evidence of the witness Attorneys Seyfried and Rappaport, for Hoffbauer, called Charles Crosley, a bricklayer, to the witness chair. He was asked if he knew Okey and his reputation for truth and veracity in the community in which he lives. He said he did, and that it was bad. After making this assertion he said he that believed this to be a fact, and left the chair after looking Okey squarely in the face. Okey did not reply, but showed his discomfiture by a reddened face and embarrassment. The commissioners will hear the protests over the granting of a license to Charles Blackwell, who runs a saloon In the same neighborhood, to-day. Charges of the same character are made against Blackwell. Indianapolls District Union. The Indianapolis District Union, Y. P. S. C. E., will meet to-morrow night at the Memorial Presbyterian Church, Ash land avenue and Eleventh street. The following programme will be given: Prayer meeting conference. 8 to 9 p. m. Leaders, Mrs. H.

The Sell-known actress, Maude Lillian Berri, who has been playing the prima donna role hn George Ade's opera, "The Sultan of siulu," it is Just learned, has been left behind In this city owing to a mysterious illtess of the actress. A member of the cc-npany remained with Miss Herri and gives the information that the actress was hightly Indisposed from malarial fever ind would rejoin the company at Peoriii, 111., on Wednesday. j Another explanation, however! has been secured by a friend of the far'ily of Dr. Henry Hatch, one of the best finown surgeons In the west, the doctor having attended the actress since her sadden collapse on Saturday. It is learnc.i that the surgeon performed a rare operation on Miss Berri after an examination in 'his X-ray laboratory.

How the tiny gold ticker gained admission to the stomach is shrouded in further mystery, owing to the fact that there was a rumor that Miss Berri had bee i poisoned. All parties concerned In the ctse refuse to discuss it, but the X-ray photograph was secured and a local paper is; printing a half-tone cut of the same to j verify its story of the operation. Dr. Hatch admits having mad'" a photograph, but refuses to say moce. Members of the opera company a , just as mysterious regarding Mis- Bcrtfi's Illness. E. A. Braden, manager of the company for Henry W. Savage, admits that Miss Berri lost her watch and that a complaint was made that thieves had entered hl r room at the hotel, tut denies any knowledge of how the watch was restored to its owner.

John McGregor Reaps the First Frnlts of Lark. John McGregor, newly-elected county commissioner, yesterday received some return for the large amount of money he was induced to spend in the purchase of chances on raffles and guesses at church fairs and places very much unlike churches during his campaign. The return received was a large cotton umbrella, valued at 87 cents. The chance on the umbrella was bought at a Fifteenth ward meeting a few nights before the election, and the value of it nearly equals the purchase price of the chance. "Don't you know," said Commissioner McGregor, with the self-satisfied smile of a man who knows a few things and has practiced what he knows, "that the best way for a candidate to advertise is through the newspapers? I believe that if ever I am a candidate for an office again" here some one remarked that this was not doubtful "I will spend nearly all of my campaign funds for newspaper space. Advertisements in the papers get the votes, and if you don't believe it look at the returns from the canvassing board." And then Mr. McGregor remarked that there was a general apathy in cigar donations and settled down to the official business of going home. HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS A REMARKABLE MAX WHO IS MM TV-EIGHT YEARS OLD. Captain R. H. Pllcher Has Had Many Wonderful Experiences Other Hotel Visitors. It is not every day that a man ninetyeight years of age registers at an Indianapolis hotel, but such was the case yesterday when Capt. R. H. Pilcher, of Custer City, S. D., engaged quarters at the Dentson. However, of those who saw Captain Pilcher about the lobby of the hotel last night none estimated his age at above eighty-five, while the majority placed him in the seventies, for he is certainly a remarkably well-preserved man and to all appearances is good for another decade. Born Sept. 15, 1804, In Athens county, Ohio, Captain Pilcher has led a life as varied and eventful as ever comes to the lot of man. Thirty-one years a steamboat man on the Ohio and lower Mississippi rivers, a veteran of the Mexican and civil wars, several years a farmer in Indiana, a plainsman and then a gold seeker in California Just after the great discoveries of '49, eighteen months a diamond miner in Isouth Africa, a residence of five years in Indianapolis and thirty years a gold miner in the Black hills of South Dakota, give Captain Pilcher some claims to the life strenuous, although he is extremely modest and told the story of some of his experiences only under protest last night. Incidentally the captain has made five trips to Europe and has been in almost every State and territory in this country. Captain Pilcher is now In Indianapolis on a business mission connected with the transfer of some mining properties, which he controls In the Black hills, to a company that is being organized here. He expects to spend several days here. Physically the captain is as hale and hearty as most men who have Just rounded out the three-score years and ten allotted to mankind. His figure is erect, his step strong, his complexion clear, his eyes bright, and his grip, when he shakes hands, is that of an experienced politician. He weighs in the neighborhood of 170 pounds, is slightly above the average height and has a snow-white moustache and chin beard, while his hair, what there is of it, is iron gray. When asked to what he attributed his longevity Captain Pilcher laughed as he replied: "Well, I have rfot eaten pie all my life that is to say. I have roughed it a good deal; I have never chewed tobacco, have never smoked a cigar, have never taken a pinch of snuff, and I was never drunk, although I have drunk more or less all my life." Captain Pilcher was steamboatlng on the Ohio and Mississippi when the war with Mexico broke out. He enlisted in the Second Ohio and served throughout the war under General Taylor. After the war he returned to the river for a while, and then in '52 he started overland for the gold mines of the Pacific coast. He drove a team from Athens county, Ohio, to San Francisco, the trip requiring five months and six days and involving many hardships and adventures. He did not stay in California long, however, as he caught the diamond fever and shipped on a sailing vessel for South Africa, where he spent a year and a half. He then returned to his Ohio home and farmed until '68, when he moved over into Jefferson county, Indiana, where he owned a farm. In '71 he came to Indianapolis, spending five years in this city. While he was here he lived at the old Pyle House, conducted by William Porter, on Meridian street Just off the Circle, and at the Captol Hotel, on Washington street, Just west of the Statehouse. In 1876 the mining fever again took possession of the captain, and he went to the Black hills country, arriving in Deadwood in May of that year. He started out prospecting at once, and has been in the mining business in that country ever since, making his home at present at Custer City. He is enthusiastic in regard to the future of the mining business In that section of the country, which he claims has some of the greatest mines In the world. His European trips were made to sell mines, the last time he crossed the Atlantic being in 1896. Captain Pilcher cast his first presidential ballot in 1826, voting for Andrew Jackson. However, he says that Jackson was the only Democrat for whom he has ever voted for President, and he has long been a Republican of the dyed-in-the-wool variety. Four years ago the captain went through an experience which demonstrated the tenacious grip he has on life and encouraged him to believe that he is good for many years yet. He was caught by a runaway team attached to a mowing machine, run down and severely Injured. suffering a fractured leg and a broken collarbone, besides sundry cuts and bruises. Considering his age it is remarkable that he ever recovered, or that he was not left a helpless cripple, but he says that he was in bed only a short time and that the fractured bones have never caused him any trouble, although he is extremely careful of himself now. The only serious sicknesses he ever had were sieges with the yellow fever In New Orleans In 1837 and with the Aslatlc cholera. He went through two wars unscathed, and with a record of never having missed a day's duty on account of sickness. He served four years and nine months In the civil war as a captain in the Second irginla Cavalry.

anu me aaurw, iingiiumiun, i un tween the dominant parties. The Republicans elected three county officers last Tuesday, tied with the Democratic candidate for sheriff and claim the election of their candidate for county clerk and State representative. The Dencrats had control of the election boards and as a result, the Republicans claim. Democratic candidates were counted In by the canvassing board. "For instance," Dr. Heaton said, "the Democrats counted Ave more votes for their candidate for representative than he was entitled to, giving him the election by a plurality of four. Of course, the Democrat has the certificate of election, but WT. J. Hamilton, the Republican candidate, wdll contest the seat at the opening of the legislature and we believe that there Is but little question as to the result." Several tights have resulted from the election squabble, the most serious being an encounter between Jahke, the Democratic candidate for clerk, and a Republican attorney who had been active in the fight against him. The men met on the street and after a few words Jahke knocked the Republican down. The latter, in some manner, got hold of a section of lead pipe before he got up and he succeeded in heating Jahke until, in Dr. Heaton's language, the Democrat "bled like a stuck pig." Jahke then attempted to shoot the attorney, it is said, but he was prevented by the crowd that gathered. Jahke is now under arrest to answer to the charge of assault with intent to kill. "We made a great fight against tremendous odds." said Dr. Heaton. in concluding his story, "and we believe that we have the Democrats whipped to a standstill. In another campaign we ought to snow them under and when the special election for sheriff is held I am satisfied that we'll elect our man by 300 votes." Scraps from the Registers. W. R.
