PARK.-"A Hot Old Time." 2 and s p. m. UMPIRE. Variety, 2 and S p. m. The Vnndevllle nt the? Grand. The vaudeville bill at the Grand this week U made up principally of comedy acts, although the programme Is pleasantly diversified In the way of song, dance, dialogue and acrobatic work. Heading the bill are F-MericK Hallen and Mollle Fuller, oldtime Indianapolis favorites, who present one of George Cuban's farces entitled -Election Bets." Like all of Cohan's lit-tl'-vaudeville comedies, the sketch Is filled wlh comical situations and depends more upon Us action than its dialogue for suetu It shows how a man may live to re-

Qirctmas

jrret making foolish wagen while In a state of election eve enthusiasm. Hallen as the plunger who lost on the election has a mle that allows him to keep up his reputation as one of vaudeville s "fashion plates." at the same time" Riving him a chance to do some clever work in a light comedy way. All. Fuller as the wife of the plunger makes the best of a part that gives her very little opportunity, and the team is ably Fupportcd by Kddie Simmons in the character of the clubman assigned to watch over the unfortunate lo.er on the election and see that he carries out all of his promises. Another good comedy act on the bill, and one which really takes the lead when it

comes to fun making, is that or tne crane -.brothers and Ilmont, a trio of burlesque comedians whose "Mudtown Minstrels" is uproariously funny. The act is just the opposite of the Hallen and Fuller sketch, having been literally thrown together with no regard for anything save "getting the laugh," as they call It in vaudeville, and the very crudeness of the thing makes it all the more laughable. The acrobatic end of the programme falls upon the shoulders of the three Macart Pisters this week, and more versatile performers of their kind have never been seen at the Grand. They are graceful dancers and skillful players on the guitar and mandolin, besides being gymnasts of the first class. Their list of entertaining offerings begins with a rendition of Mascagni's "Intermezzo" on the string instruments, and has a sensational finish when two o'f the sisters support a slack wire with their teeth, each hanging from a trapeze in midair, while the third sister performs a skirt dance with nothjng more substantial under foot than the wire itself. Most European .acts are unique In some special way, and this ono is surely no exception. Bonnie Thornton had a hard time of It yesterday to be on hand for her opening performance. She arrived In Indianapolis from New York at the last moment before her "turn" came, and, appearing In a street dress, she sang two songs, the only ones of her repertoire that were not locked up in her tardy wardrobe trunk. Although the audience seemed pleased with her .work the little singer was evidently 111 at ease, and she explained before leaving the staKe that she "would do better when her music and things came." Warren and Iflanchard give a singing and talking act that would probably be more of a "go" if It were placed in a different part of the bill. Following as It does the hilarious antics of the Crane brothers and Belmont It takes the audience some little time to adapt itself to another style of low comedy. Doth of the men have good voices and their coon songs are well rendered. Joe Flynn. who once upon a time wrote a classic entitled "Down went McGlnty, and who allows nobody to forget the fact, does a rapid-fire monologue and sings a number of parodies on the reigning -popular songs. Mile. Latlna. a handsome young woman In artistic posturing and exhibitions of muscular development, and John E. Camp, a singer of costermonger songs, together with a series of excellent bioscope views, round out a programme that is generally entertaining. Farce-Comeily nt the Park Theater. "A Hot Old Time," a farce produced In past seasons by John and Emma Ray, returned to the Park Theater yesterday for three days with Eddie Weston playing the part originally taken by Ray. Weston In past seasons played Ray's "double" in the piece and it was often said that Weston's work was even more appreciated. In giving the show this year several changes have been made, but the thread of the narrative has been retained and It Is not hard to recognize the former comedy. Weston Is assisted by Edward Collins. The latter makes up like Johnny Ray, but his Irish brogue is faulty. Another change Is the part formerly taken by Mrs. Ray. This year Miss Ada Henry has been selected to do the work. Miss Henry Is about the same size as Mrs. Ray, talks like her and even screams like her. The show abounds in catchy songs rendered by a large chorus. Specialties are also introduced by Carl and Nora Yaldo in their Russian acrobatic dancing. The second act is a pretc.itious affair. During the action of the play Nellie Nichols and Ada Henry, assisted by the chorus, gave several popular pieces that were well received. In the third act other specialties are given by the Mario-Dunham trio. Other musical numbers were rendered by Nellie Nichols and Maude Sohlke, assisted by the chorus. "A Hot Old Time'' will remain until to-morrow night, when "A Fisherman's Daughter" will take its place. Variety at the Empire Theater. James F, Leonard exceedecv the bounds of propriety at the performance given yesterday by the Imperial Burlesque Troupe, and for his work deserved the censure given him by the manager of tha house and of the show. The lines spoken by Leonard were appalling to respectable peonle. Leon ard in the past has borne the reputation of a vulgar man, bur this season he has net been considered in the wave of reform that has swept over the variety business. The sooner he relinquishes his present ways the better It will be for his company and himself. The show has little to commend' it from that of the ordinary. Ford and Dot West have a neat, clean sketch, yet there were a rew persons in the house that hissed the act. "The Walter and the Maid." Riven by the Wests, deserves some recognition from the patrons, as the performers work well and do not resort to any suggestiveness to win applause. Etta Victoria, who participates in the olio with a cortortion act, is pleasing in ner worK. iter act is neat, and she is sur rounded with a new interior setting that ennances the work. w. J. Kelly and An drew Adams impersonate German and Irish comedians respectively. Their act savors of the old style krockabout turn, and Is almost valueless m these days of new acts. The olio opens with a sketch by Edith Randall and E. E. Parry that. seems to be a wa-ste or time. iarry perpetrates a col lection of old puns on the audience, while the other half of the sketch gives an ex hibition of clog dancing. The two burlesques used by the company comprise a lot of old material. In each Leonard and Clirr Gordon indulged In al leged comedy and obscenity. The chorus, however, renders a number of good songs. In the first burlesque Patty Carney, assisted by the chorus, renders a good ver sion of "Bill Bailey, Won't You Please Come Home. Reception to Alice Fischer. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Dec 15. Alice Fischer was given a warm reception on her appearance to-night in "Mrs. Jack" In her home city.

LOCAL SCARCITY OF COAL. Indianapolis Manufacturers Are Still on "Uneasy Street." I Local manufacturers are making every effort to insure their coal supply for the winter months and wholesalers yesterday expressed the hope that their fears would not be realized. The wholesalers, while not saying that there was anything to Justify the belief, said they would use every effort to keep the visible supply large enough for all emergencies of the ordinary character, but the incoming supply would have to be distributed so that all manufacturers would benefit. There will be no particular effort to furnish coal for storage, as the daily receipts are not large enough to admit of this, but the wholesalers hope Is to not fall behind the demand. Considering there is yet probable snow and its consequent interuption of traffic this hope is regarded dubiously. Yesterday there were no factories without sufficient coal, but there were few that felt secure for any considerable period. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

RAOUL PUGNO PLEASES

THK GREAT IMAXIST HEARD AT THE EH 31 AX HOUSE. Brought to Till City by the Philharmonic CI nl Outline of 'Cavallerla Husticana." The piano has always been regarded, even by those musicians whose names have been most closely associated with It, as the most unresponsive of all musical Instruments, but when such an absolute master of the keyboard as Raoul Pugno is heard in a programme of piano numbers, there is little likelihood that even the most critical of music-lovers, or the least Interested of laymen, will detract from the complete enjoyment of the event by drawing comparisons between the music of the piano-forte and the music of the more sympathetic string Instruments. M. Pugno appeared for the first time before an Indianapolis audience last night, giving a superb recital at the German House, under the auspices of the Philharmonic Club, and those that allowed the Inclement weather or their indifference to piano music to keep them away missed one of the real musical treats not only of this, but of many seasons in this city. No one possessing a love for music could have attended last night's concert without having found something in it to enjoy, while to the student of music the entire programme was one to be thankful for. In the first place Pugno is an Interesting man; he is not at all like the usual piano virtuoso, blind to all else In life save his own artistic temperament, and burdened with endless affectations. Here is a great pianist at last that Is perfectly sane, and at the same time one that can play poetically and with exquisite sentiment when the occasion demands, as well as energetically and forcibly. Big in stature, big-bearded, essentially masculine in everything, he Impresses all as one of the real giants of the keyboard. His programme last night was divided into four parts, and the recital was one of wondrous novelty. It contained works that are seldom heard in this city, together with several numbers that are familiar, though none the less welcome, to most students of the piano. The large auditorium at the German House was comfortably filled, and from the rapt Interest which was apparent throughout the evening, and the many outbursts of genuine enthusiasm, it was evident that the audience was thoroughly appreciative of the splendid programme and its famous interpreter. The opening number was Bach's Prelude et Fugue In- F minor, and in this and the following selection, the Gavotte Variee, G major, of Handel, the pianist displayed a technical equipment that was remarkable, his fingers Hying over the keys with lightning speed, while the melodies seemed to fairly ripple from his magic hands, Scarlatti's Sonate, A major, was played in faultless style, and Beethoven's grand composition in three movements, Sonate Op. 27 in G sharp major, was rendered as it has never been rendered before in Indianapolis, the beautiful finale of the third movement having a wonderful orchestral effect, blazing and singing throughout the hall as if coming from a great orchestra of string and reed instruments instead of the keyboard of white and black Ivories answering to the touch of one man. Pugno's second period at the piano was devoted entirely to a masterly interpretation of Schumann's "Faschingsschwank aus Wein." Op. 20-a work that seems to exhaust the possibilities of the instrument. His plaving of this tremendous composition, with its varying lights and Bhades and its portrayal of many emotions, was a revelation of the amazing range of the virtuoso's interpretative art. Four of Chopin's works were given during the third period of the programme the ever beautiful l.octurne, in F sharp major; valse, A flat major; scherzo, B flat minor, and polonaise. Op. 22, E flat major and to many this part of the recital was the most interesting of all. Upon his final appearance the pianist gave Weber's Rondo Brilliant, E flat major; one of Grieg's charming compositions, "Au Printemps;" a work of his own composition entitled "Serenade a la Lüne." which was so well liked by his hearers that he repeated it, and, as a fitting ending to the splendid programme, Liszt's Rhapsodie No. 11, which he rendered in a powerful and soul-stirring manner. The Philharmonic Club was on the evening's programme for two numbers Foote's "Bedouin Love Song" and a concerted arrangement of Pasche's "Silent Recollections." The chorus of men's voices, under the able direction of Edward Nell, was heard to much advantage in both selections, but it was in the encore number not on the programme Schumann's tender love song. "Thou Are So Like a Flower" that the club was at its best. The concert, from beginning to end, was a distinct success, and the Philharmonic Club is deserving of the thanks of the music lovers of Indianapolis for bringing the celebrated pianist to this city. m ' CAVA LL.E It I A nt'STICANA." Outline of MascnKnl's Great Opera to lie Glren To-Morrow Xlfcht. In Tomlinson Hall to-morrow night Pletro Mascagnl, the foremost living Italian composer and conductor, will give his first performance in this citv. He will be assisted by his own full operatic company. Including principals, large orchestra and chorus, brought from Italy. The first part of the evening will be devoted to an operatic concert programme, after which will be given entire the opera of "Cavallerla Rusticana," Mascagnl's greatest work, and which under the direction of the composer is said to reveal many new beauties. The story of the opera follows: "Cavallerla Rusticana," an opera in one act, words by Signorl Targioni-Tozzetti and Menascl. music by Pletro Mascagni, was written in and was first performed at the Costanzi Theater in Rome May 20 of that year. It had its first American production in Philadelphia Sept. 9, 1S91, with Mme. Kronold as Santuzza. Miss Campbell as Lola. Guille as Turridu. Del Puente as Alfio and Jeannie Teal as Lucia. The story upon which the text of "Cavallerla Rusticana" is based Is taken from a Sicilian tale by Giovanni Verga. It is peculiarly Italian in its motive, running a swift, sure gamut of love, flirtation. Jealousy and death a melodrama of a passionate and tragic sort amid somewhat squalid environments that particularly lends itself to nusic of Mascagnl's forceful sort. The overture graphically presents the main themes of the opera, and these themes illustrate a very simple but strong story. Turridu. a young Sicilian peasant, arrived home from army service, finds that his old love, Lola, during his absence has married Alflo, a carter. To console himself he makes love to Santuzza, who returns his passion with ardor. The inconstant Turridu. however, soon tires of her and makes fresh advances to Lola, who. Inspired by her jealousy of Santuzza and her natural coquetry, SMiles upon him again. The latter seeks to iclalm him, and when she is rudely reputed tells the story of Lola's perfidy to Altio, who challenges Turridu and kills him. During the overture Turridu sings a charming Siciliana ("O Lola c'hal dl Latti"') and the curtain rises, disclosing a Sicilian village with a church decorated for Easter service. As the sacristan opens its doors the villagers appear and sing a hymn to the Madonna. A hurried duet follows, in which Santuzza reveals to Mother Lucia her grief at the perfidy of Turridu. Her discourse is interrupted by the entrance of Alflo singing a rollicking whip song ("II Cavallo Sealplta") with accompaniment of male chorus. The scene then develops into a trio, closing with a hymn ("Innetrniamo. 11 SlRnor") sung by the people In the square and led by Santuzza herself, and blending with the "Regina Coeli" performed by the choir Inside the church with orsran accompaniment, the number finally working un into a tremendous climax in genuine Italian style. In the next scene Santuzza tells her sad story to Lucia, Turrldu's mother, in a romanza of great power ("Vol lo sapete"). closing with an outburst of the highest significance as she appeals to Lucia to pray for her. In the next scene Turridu enters. Santuzza upbraids him and a passionate duet follows in which Santuzza's suspicions are more than confirmed by his avowal of his passion for Lola. The duet Is interrupted by a song of the latter, heard in the distance, with harp accompaniment ("Fior dl glagglolo.") As she approaches the pair the song grows livelier and at Its close she banters poor Santuzza with biting sarcasm, and assail Turridu

with all the arts of coquetry. She passes into the church, confident that the infatuated Turridu will follow her. An Impassioned duo of great power follows, in which Santuzza pleads with him to love her, but all in vain. He rushes into the church. She attempts to follow him, but falls upon the steps just as Alflo comes up. To him she relates the story of her troubles and of Turrldus baseness. Alflo promises to revenge her and another powerful duet follows. As they leave the stape there Is a sudden and most unexpected change in the character of the music and the motive of the drama. In the place of struggle, contesting passions and manifestations of rage, hate and jealousy, ensues an intermezzo for, orchestra with an accompaniment of harps and organ of the utmost simplicity and sweetness, breathing something like a sacred calm and turning the thoughts away from all this human turmoil into conditions of peace and rest. It has not only become one of the most favorite numbers In the concert repertory, but Is ground out from every barrel organ the world over and yet it has retained its hold upon popular admiration. At its close the turmoil begins again and the action hastens to the tragic der noument. The people come out of the church " singing a glad chorus which is followed by a drinking song ("Viva 11 vinoV), sung by Turridu and joined in by Lola and chorus. In the midst of the hilarity Alflo appears. Turridu Invites him to join them and drink, but he refuses and the quarrel begins. Lola and the frightened women'withdraw. Turridu bites Alflo's right ear a Sicilian form of challenge. The scene closes with the death of the former at Alflo's hands and Santuzza Is avenged; but the fickle Lola has gone her way bent upon other conquests. MRS. A. J. MINTOSH'S DEATH. Sadden Demise of Daughter of the Late Washington De Paair. Mrs. Andrew J. Mcintosh was found dead in her bed yesterday morning by members of her family. , Death wras due to heart trouble, from which Mrs. Mcintosh had suffered for more than two years. Her attending physician. Dr. E. F. Hodges, thought her ailment was not serious. On Sunday Mrs. Mcintosh complained to the members of her family or feeling badly. Dr. Hodges was called and left medicine. Yesterday morning Mrs. Mcintosh's two sons, Charles and Wilbur, left home about 6 o'clock on their way to business. They did not see their mother, as she was still in her room. They thought she was still sleeping. Later her daughters, Nellie and Sadie, went to their mother's room. They found her lying on the bed in a natural position. They walked to the bed and tried to awaken her. They noticed her pallor and were greatly shocked at finding their mother dead. Her body was cold and the family are of opinion that Mrs. Mcintosh died about 6 o'clock. Mrs. Mcintosh was Sarah Ellen De Pauw, a daughter of the late Washington De Pauw, of New Albany, founder of one of the most prominent families in Indiana. Mrs. Mcintosh's own family included her husband, two sons and three daughters, among them being Mrs. Thaddeus Houston. Mr. and Mrs. Mcintosh have lived in this city for twelve years. They have occupied the house at No. 150 West Vermont street. Mrs. Mcintosh was prominently connected with the Meridian-street Methodist Episcopal Church and always took an active part in all charitable and missionary work connected with the church. On Sunday it was decided that Mrs. Mcintosh and one of her daughters would leave soon for Florida, where they would remain during the winter. The funeral will be held Thursday from her late home, and the burial will be at Crown Hill. Car Cansed a ülockade. Car No. 400, one of the large double-truck cars on the Irvlngton line, caused a blockade last night at 11 o'clock at the Intersection of Pennsylvania and Washington streets and Virginia 'avenue. The motorman did not stop on the west side of Pennsylvania street, but threw the current on and sent his car over the first switch with great speed. The first trucks took the switch properly, but the rear trucks started to go out Virginia avenue. This caused the big car to turn sidewise. It was nearly an hour later before the wreck crew arrived and placed the rear trucks on the right track. Now and again there is an item in thei newspapers concerning the birth of a! puny baby so small that a quart cup Lolas it comfortably. If the article told all the facts it would probably tell also of a mother who in weakness and misery had looked forward to the baby's advent with shrinking and fear. i To have fine, healthy children the mother must be healthy, and it is. the of mothers that the use of Dr. Pierce's; Favorite Prescrip-' tion not only promotes the xnother'si health but also gives her strength to give her child. "Favorite Prescription n accomplishes these results by tranquilizing the nerves, promoting a healthy appetite,' and giving refresh ing sleep. It increases physical vigor and gives great muscular elasticity, 60 that the baby's advent is practically painless. It is the best of tonics for nursing mothers. I gladly recommend Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription," writes Mrs. J. W. G. Stephens, Mila, Northumberland County, Va. "Before ray third little boy was born I took six bottles, lie is the finest child and has been from birth, and I suffered very much less than I ever did before. I unhesitatingly advise expectant, mothers to use the ' Favorite Prescription.'
