"Ben-Hur," 2 and 8 p. m. GRAND. Vaudevllee, 2:13 and 8:13 p. m. PARK.- "The Fatal Wedding." 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE. Variety, 2 and 8 p. m. At the Belasco Theater, In New York, this evening. "The Darling: of the Gods" will be presented by Miss Blanche Bates and her company. It Is a story of old Japan and was written by John Luther Long and David Belasco. Miss Onoto Watanna, well known as a writer of tales about her native land, Japan, has told New York newspapers that she went to Washington to see "The Darling of the Gods" last week and found that It was a dramatization of two of her stories, "A Japanese Nightingale" and "The Wooing of Wistaria." After the success of the play made from John Luther Long's story of "lime. Butterfly," Miss Watanna says, she consulted Mr. Belasco as to a dramatization of her "The Wooing of Wistaria." lie decided that he would not consider the matter for the reason that he did not believe a long Japanese play would be successful. Miss Watanna has arranged with Klaw & Erlanger to croduce In play form "The Japanese Night ingale." Mr. Belasco denies the charge aicalnst him. and It Is probable that the courts will be asked to decide the matter. A decision has not yet been given in Jean Rlchepin's suit against Belasoc, in which the French dramatist charges that the American manager stole nls "Du Barry." XXX Mrs. Leslie Carter has left New York to begin a tour of a feu of the larger cities, in "Du Barry." Next summer she will go to London and may give a few performances in Paris. Returning to New York in the fall she will be peen as "Iady Macbeth" at the Belasco Theater. . - - - . XXX An unknown person sent an infernal ma chine to Tyrone Power, who is acting the part of Judas In Mrs. Flske's production of "Mary of Magdala," at the Manhattan Theater. New York, on last Saturday. Mr, power opened the box. which had been left at the theater in the aiternoon as a pres ent. while he was riding to the Lamb's Club In a cab. He heard a buzzing and threw the thing out of the cab window. It struck the curb, but did not explode. Mr. Power stopped the cab and picked up the box. It contained a large charge of dynamite. but the machinery was clumsy. In Chica go. a religious fanatic sent a threatening letter to the actor, complaining that the character of "Judas" was a perversion of nibllcal history. That is true, but dyna mite has not yet been chosen as a proper aid to dramatic criticism. xxx Mclntrye and Heath, who are playing at the Grand this week, joined interests twen ty-nine years ago. Both then had been on the stage six or seven years. Mclntyre was with a man named Butler, who now is driv lng a cab In Cincinnati, and" Heath was half of the team or Heath and Reagan Mclntyre and Heath have been for several vears the most popular comedians in vaude ville, and so many persons have laughed at their caricatures of the "coon" that the actors have become rich. For the first half of the week they have a sketch called "On Guard." and beginning with to-morrow's matinee they will be seen in their old -Georgia Minstrels" turn. Georgia Ca y van to Have a.

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS

JAMES V. SWEETSER TALKS OF IXSOVATIOXS IN IlIUClv MAKING. An Indiana riant Which Tarns Oat CO,000,000 Bricks Annually, and Cannot Fill Its Orders. James V. Sweetser, of Marlon, was in the city yesterday, stopping at the English, en route to Danville, 111. Mr. Sweetser is a leading banker of Marion, but he is also largely interested In other business enterprises, and he was going to Danville to attend the meeting of the directors of the Western Brick Company, in which he Is one of the principal stockholders. The Western Brick Company 13 an Indiana concern, Marion and Muncie capitalists owning practically all the stock. F. B. Butterworth. a former Marlon man, is the manager of the company. The factory Is one of the largest in the United States. "We have doubled the capacity of the plant within the past year," said Mr. Sweetser, In speaking of the factory, "and we now have an establishment that can turn out 60,000,000 brick annually. That is a good many, but elnce. the factory has been In operation we have never been able to meet the demand, and I believe that the present capacity Is none too large." The company, which manufactures both building and paving brick, as well as fancy pressed brick, was attracted to Danville by the superior quality of shale found there. The shale had never been utilized for brickmaking. but Mr. Butterworth, who was at that time interested with the same company in conducting a brick factory at Montezuma, Ind., believed that it could be used to an advantage. He went over to the Illinois town, made a quiet investigation, secured options on several hundred acres of land and shipped several carloads of the shale to Montezuma to be tested before the Danville people discovered that he had been "in their midst." The test of the shale proved satisfactory, and the options on the land were closed. One strong inducement that led the company to establish a factory in Danville was the fact that underlying the vein of shale on the land they purchased is a thick vein of coal, and hence all they have to do to get all the fuel they require is to strip eft the shale. The company estimates that it has enough shale and coal in sight to run the factory at its full capacity for the next hundred years, and beyond that they are inclined to let the future take care of Itself. Two innovations in brickmaking were lately introduced at the plant of the Western Brick Company that have proved decidedly successful. One was a system of hydraulic stripping of the shale, and the other consists of the utilization of heat from the cooling kilns in the drying of the bricks in preparing them for the kilns. The shale is covered by soil to a depth of from live to fifteen feet, and when the company first started the plant this soil was removed by huge steam shovels. This process was found both slow and expensive and another plan was sought, with the result that Manager Butterworth decided to adopt the same process that is used in hydraulic mining in the West. He went to Marion and purchased the engine and force pump that had been outgrown by the waterworks system of that city and installed his plant on the bank of the river near the brick factory. A half mile of ten-inch mains was put in and in two months Mr. Butterworth had a hydraulic plant with a pressure of 100 pounds to the square inch at the nozzle of the pipe. With this system half a dozen men can strip more shale in a day than three times their number with steam shovels, and at a third the expense. The heat from the cooling kilns is utilized in the drying room by means of a series of tunnels, connecting the kilns and the drying room, in which huge fans are operated, drawing" the heat from the kilns. The kilns are heated to a temperature of several hundred degrees while the brick are being burned, and, of course, a vast amount of heat is stored up In them; so much, In fact, that it requires from five to seven days for a kiln to cool. The great problem in brickmaking is the cost of production, as a factory's market Is limited by this item. The freight rates fall alike on all companies, so that the company that can reduce the cost of production a fraction has widened its market just that much. Mr. Sweetser is one of the most widely-traveled men in Indiana. Accompanied by Mrs. Sweetser and his daughter Delight, now Mrs. George W. Prentiss, of Cleveland, Mr. Sweetser has made two or three trips around the world. His daughter has told the story of these Journeys in a volume entitled "One Way Bound the World," published by BowenMerrill. Mr. Sweetser is now contemplating a trip into Old Mexico for the near future. It has been several years since he was in that country and he is curious to note the changes that have been made there by the Influx of American capital and American ideas and energy. CO.MMERCIAL TRAVELERS TALES. They Are Matched by Colonel Pepper's Avrfnl Puna. A knit goods man told a yarn at the Denlson last night that had the effect of throwing Clerk Pepper into a violent punning fit that lasted several agonizing minutes. "A knit goods yarn ought to be all wool and warranted fast color," began Colonel Pepper with a bland smile, "and a knit goods man ought to be able to tell a good quality of yarn, but that is not a knit goods yarn and it is nit a good yarn, and and" and the colonel was still mumbling to himself long after his auditors had withdrawn to a safe distance. B. W. Thayer, who travels for a Minneapolis knit goods mill, started the trouble when the conversation had turned to the vexations of the traveling man due to trains being late. He matched another commercial nan's tale of hard luck with an experience he had in New York State last winter, when a blizzard held up his train for forty-eight hours, and then he wound up with a story that reflects upon the great and glorious commonwealth of Indiana. "I've heard of a good many tough experiences with delayed trains, but a friend of mine went up against the limit in that line right here in Indiana a few years ago," he said. "I am not sure as to the date, or as to the railroad and the exact section of the State, but it happened several years ago somewhere in the northern part of Indiana. There was a railroad up there then that ran only tri-weekly trains that is, it had a train every other day each way. One of the trains was scheduled to leave a certain town at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. My friend arranged his schedule so as to reach this town just in time to catch that train. He got to the depot at exactly five minute3 of 4 and saw the train disappearing around the bend. "The law prohibiting trains from leaving ahead of the scheduled time Is very explicit. My friend was forced to lay over in that town for two days, and as a result he incurred a financial loss of about $2,000. NatuKilly. he sued the railroad company for damages. His lawyers told him he had a ckar case and the trial was proceeding in the best of shape, with everything in his favor, when all at once the attorneys for the railroad knocked his case into a cocked hat by Introducing evidence that proved conclusively that instead of leaving five minutes ahead of its scheduled time the train had in fact been twenty-three hours and fifty-five minutes late. It had really been scheduled for the day before." "That must have been the Midland, and that reminds me" began a third commercial man. but at that moment Colonel Pepper went Into his paroxysm, and no more tales were told. SPECIAL FROM CRAWFORDSVILLE. Seven Hundred People from that Town Attended "Ilen-Hnr." A special train of ten coaches brought between 700 and S00 Crawfordsville people to this city last night to attend the performance of "Ben-liur" at English's. It was Ben-Hur night at English's that is, the fraternal order of Ben-Hur had bought the house for the night, and the bulk of the audience was composed of members of the order and their families. In addition to the Crawfordsville crowd there was a party of 175 from Shelbyvllle, and smaller

Judge Stnbba ChanRfd Ills Mind When He Heard Torney' Story. In the triai of Ulysses S. Torney, in Po lice Court yesterday morning, charged with i profanity, a story of poverty and rrivation came to light. The man's condition did not become known until after Judge Stubbs had assessed a fine of 1 and costs, which would have compelled him to forsake his wife and three small children to serve eleven days in tlie workhouse. Torney did not explain to the court the circumstances of his case. When these became known, Judge Stubbs quickly reversed his decision, and with Bailiff Dawson asked the manager of the National Starch Company to reinstate Torney. Many of the lawyers in court gave the man money. The manager said that Torney was one of the best workmen in the factory. It is said tnat Torney and his family desired to move from their former home, which was considered too noisy for his children. When he undertook to remove his furniture the neighbors jeered him, and it was said by himself that he cursed one of them. A warrant was sworn out and Torney was arrested. The man is a son of a well-to-do farmer of Morgan county. The boy came to this city intending to make his own living. The city did not hold out the great future for him that he had dreamed of. v WOMAN REARRESTED. Mary Cnrroll Wanted ly Detective for ShoplifthiK.

Saturday night she was released on her own recognizance and told to return to court Monday morning. She failed to appear for trial and her rearrest was ordered.

North Street ff tf V f m STORY OF A BALLOT BOX NEEDLESS ALARM CAUSED DY A SEXSATIOXAL REPORT. The Dox Left nt Mrs. Canada's Ilonse "Was Probably a Chest Belonging to 31. G. Ilornaday. Some politicians have become Interested, in a police report that a ballot box, which was delivered at the home of Mrs. Mattie Canada, 204 North New Jersey street, nearly three years ago, had recently been taken from her possession in a mysterious manner. Mrs. Canada, who now lives at 1215 English avenue, told a policeman about the box and some investigation as to its character was made. Mrs. Canada said it was delivered at her home Immediately after the city election of 1S99 and that it was a ballot box. She also said that M. G. Hornaday had recently called at her house and taken the box away. At least, that is what the police department reported. When Interviewed Mrs. Canada declined to talk of the affair. Politicians who are In touch with Democratic affairs say that the mystery attaching to this box Is not very great, and the facts in reference to it are related by them as follows: In January, 1900, Hornaday was arrested for defalcation as chief clerk in the city engineer's office. While he was in Jail he had a chest, not a ballot box, about five feet long, and of considerable depth, removed from the engineer's office. Thl3 box contained poll books and tabulations of the ' Democratic city committee, of which Hornaday had been secretary. These documents covered a period of nearly ten years and were regarded as valuable to the committee. During the campaign of 1901 the committee made numerous efforts to recover this box, but was unsuccessful. Joseph E. Bell, who was familiar with the transaction; said last night that the contents of the box were valuable to the Democratic committee only and that when he read the story of the mysterious ballot box he readily recognized it as the chest which Hornaday had secreted. There has not been, so far as the memory of politicians is concerned, a ballot box stolen in many years. An effort to find Hornaday last night was unsuccessful. Y. M. C. A. LECTURE COURSE.

Why District Attorney Jerome Did Xot "linn,- Aristocratic Gamblers. NEW YORK, Dec. 2. District Attorney Jerome's sensational raids on alleged gambling resorts begun about midnight last night, was continued until 4:30 o'clock this morning, and numerous small places were raided. The attacks on the latter, however, were almost overlooked In the public interest, which centered In the assaults on the mansions occupied by Richard A. Canfield and William Burbridge, which were entered by means of ladders, axes and sledges. The police allege that Frank Farrell is interested in Burbrldge's place. Great quantities of costly "evidence" were carted away from these places by the police, but arrests were few. Up to last night a general impression prevailed that Canfleld's, which is in the heart of the fashionable uptown district, only a few doors from Fifth avenue, and near two celebrated restaurants, formed a "Gibraltar" which could not be taken; and a fimiiar belief prevailed in regard to Burbrldge's place, which was especially protected by steel doors. This place is in a cross street, up town, only a half block from Fifth avenue, and a few steps from a celebrated hotel. Every place raided had been warned, the raid having been "tipped off." It was crroenously stated, last night, that Canfleld was arrested. E. W. Bucklln, his alleged manager, was taken into custody. David Bucklln and Samuel J. Smtih. who were arrested in the raids, were hHd in $1.000 for examination. Thomas McGldney was discharged. German VieT Venesnelan Forts. NEW YORK.
