PARK "On the Suwanee River," 2 and S p. m. UMPIRE Burlesque, 2 and S p. m. The Vaudeville at the Grand. Katherlne Bloodgood was awarded the place as star of this week's vaudeville at th Grund, and JSsthcr Fee was announced as u young woman secured at short notice to take .the place of another performer whoxe engagement had been canceled. Both Miss Eleodsood and Miss Fee are fair young women, the former well known here, the latter almost a stranger; both are musicians of rare ability. Miss Bloodgood la entitled, by right of her superb contralto voice, t! a place of honor on any programme, whether vaudeville or concertbut so ts Miss Fee. The latter did not have the advertising she deserved. Miss Bloodgood's voice was heard to much advantage at both the performances yesterday, whea

m

!; ' I

she sang before the largest Monday audiences the Grand has held for some time, rendering three selections in a manner that brought forth enthusiastic applause. She chose for her opening number a sacred song which suited her voice admirably, and

followed this number with Becxer "spring Song" In German and the tender love ballid, "Genevieve," which she sang the best of all. The violin playing of Miss Fee came as a surprise to most of the people in the au dience yesterday afternoon and last night. She was not on the bills as a "headline" attraction, as before stated, and, perhaps, looking at the matter from a purely vaude ville viewpoint, she is not what would be called a big drawing card n the amusement houses which cater to lovers of specialty acts. But of Miss Fee's playing this may be said with truth that if music lovers of Indianapolis remain away from the Grand this week under the impression that really gooi instrumental music is not to be heard in vaudeville they will miss a great treat. Miss Fee is not the usual vaudeville violinist by any means. She is a virtuoso of unusual ability, and must be regarded as one of the best, if not. indeed, the very best, of women violinists in America. She spent seven years in Paris study ing under such masters as Morslck and Henri Marteau, and often appeared at the recitals of Mme. Marquesl. She is a thorough arti3t, whether rendering the diffi cult Hungarian dance by Brahms, which she gave as her opening selection vesterday, or the ever-beuatlful "Träumerei" of Schumann, which she played as an encore to her second number the latter beincr a mazurka by Musln. It is the purpose of vaudeville managers to offer their patrons performances spiced with variety, and the Grand management has surely succeeded in accomplishing this object in this week's programme. Those that do not care for the best music that vaudeville has to offer will find all of their old favorites in the comedy-sketch teams, the singing and dancing folks and the acrobats. The acrobatic act of the Heras family Is by far the best of its kind seen at this theater in many weeks. The men of the troupe appear in full dress and the women in evening gowns, but none of the performers seem to be handicapped in the least by these superfluous garments In their somersaults through the air. The act would really be more attractive if the acrobats dressed in the regulation tights, as the clothes they wear seem somewhat awkward, but doubtless the feats they perform are the more wonderful on account of the trousers and dresses that must be carried along with them in their gymnastic and tumbling tricks. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thorn, suppeorted by Harry Clark and Mattle Temple, present a farce entitled "An Uptown Flat." It has been seen In Indianapolis before, but never so well acted as by its present interpreters. Mrs. Thorn supplies most of the fun of the skit, although all of those appearing in it are clever. Bellman and Moore have one of those nonsensical mixtures of dialogue and song, so common In vaudeville, which they Insist upon calling a "Social Playlet." Both performers are good in their line, Mr. Bellman possessing a rich base voice and Miss Moore being a dancer of more than ordinary ability, but they do not seem to get Into their element until just at the close of their act. They have a poor sketch, as it now stands, with a splendid finish that enables them to score a hit. Collins and Hart are two acrobatic buffoons, who are comical as long as they stick to their pantomimic work, but failures as talking comedians. Their burlesque of a hand-balancing act is very funny, and brought forth roars of laughter from the audience. Alf Holt, an excellent mimic, contributes a series of imitations of birds and various animals. O'Brien and Buckley, a well-known musical team, open the bill, nnd, aside from their playing of the flute and 'cello, there is little to commend In their act. They could doubtless give a good performance if they would but take the trouble to secure some new Jokes. The budget which they are now asking their audience to accept and laugh over is. to say the least, old and threadbare. The bioscope should not be missed this week. "The Trip to the Moon" is the most interesting series of moving pictures seen at the Grand since the "Jack and the Beanstalk" film was shown early in the season. Comedy-Drama at the Park. If there were nothing else worth seeing In the comedy-drama, "On the Suwanee River," except Stella Mayhew's Impersonation of an old plantation colored woman this feature would be of sufficient drawing power to attract good audiences. However, the play itself, as presented yesterday afternoon and last evening at the Park to overflowing houses. Is very entertaining, and It is acted by a company that is more than equal to all its requirements. Miss Mayhew makes the hit of the per formance because of her unusually clever character work as the good-natured plan tation "mammy" and her infectious rend! tlon of some new coon songs during her specialty in the last act. "On the Suwanee River" Is a play that has held the boards successfully for five seasons, and. as It has been seen twice be fore at the Park, its stoiy and situations are familiar to the patrons of that popular playhouse. It is now being given with all the necessary scenic effects and with a well-selected cast, while the additional fea ture of a good quartet of colored singers and dancers goes a long way toward establishing the show in the good graces of its audiences. The entertainment is en livened throughout by the many musical interpretations, which prevent the more lurid melodramatic spirit from pervading the piece. There are three Indianapolis men in the cast Allen Bailey, who has the leading male role of Jack 'lorrence, a young planter: Lawrence Atkinson, who appears in the comedy part of a scheming Judge, and Lew A. Warner, in the character of a much-hated miser, detested by the other characters in the play and thor ouehly despised by the gallery. The three actors acquit themselves creditably, as do Harrison Stedman and Fred Truesdell In the other principal parts. Miss Katherlne Miller, who plays the part of the blind Klrl Dora, wins the sympathy of the audi ence by her emotional work, and Miss Marie Haynes makes the best of a very uncongenial role, that of a shrewish woman. The songs rendered by the colored quartet, Mr. Truesdell and Miss Mayhew, were much enjoyed, the latter's singing of "When I Get Back to Mempnis, Tennessee," and "I Want a Ping-Pong Man" being pronounced hits. The play. Judging by yesterday's big audiences, is in for good business during the rest of its stay at the Park. It will be followed on Thursday by the farce-comedy, "McFadden's Flats," which comes for the latter half of the week. Variety at the Empire. The two burlesques of the High Rollers Burlesque troupe at the Empire are up to the average. The olio comprises sufficient good material to overshadow all else In the show. Kllest, who is working this year by himself, Is easily the feature of the company, lie has not deviated any from his act when he played it on the other circuit. He still retains his clownish makeup and pantomimic work. He introduces a number of clever musical acts all done as if by magic and his work was thoroughly appreciated. Ho bfns his act by transforming a dummy lnUfe. the dummy assisting in the opening. nusical act. The delusion was so clever.v worked that It brought forth one of the most generous exhibitions of applause heard In that theater for some time. Following this Kllest introduces other musical acts closing with bis battleship scene. Following Kllest, In the matter cf giving a lively variety act, are Palfrey and Hilton, with their exhibitions of bicycle riding. Both perform daring feats on wheels. One of them Is attired in tramp costume, while the other one is dressed in faultless style. The man with the grotesque makeup has an abundance of original humor which he dispenses while he rides a bicycle. The other one devotes himself mainly to the performance of difficult feats. Their work throughout was high class. Dixon and Lang, two oldtlmes, did not fail to please In their characterization of prominent actors. They sing several songs, among them being one about the miners and their troubles underneath the ground. Dixon and Ling were dressed in miners' outrits. including the lighted mine lamp on top of their caps. Others in the olio are Katheryn Mlley in coon songs, Howe and Scott as two Hebrews in a sidewalk turn, Abble Carlton, introducing a number of living pictures, and the Franklin Sisters. The show opens and closes, with burlesques into which nothing new has been put. Annie Rnasell In. ".Mice and 3Ien. WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. The first American production of "Mice and Men." the new play in which Charles Frohman presents Annie Russell this season, took place to-night at New National Theater. Miss Russell was greeted by a brilliant audience, Including many persons prominent socially and officially. The play is by Madeline Lucettc Ryley. It is strong and human and ßlve ilUs Russell a congenial role.

The supporting company includes two leading men, Orrin Johnson and John Mason, both of whom were well recti ved. Mrs. G. H. Gilbert came in for a good share of applause. The theme of the play is based on the line from Burn3, "The best-laid schemes of mice and men gang aft agley." The story Is that of a bachelor, who endeavors to educate a girl for the position of his wife. But she gives her affections to a younger suitor and in a strong scene of renunciation the bachelor turns her over to his rival, who is a nephew. The period of the play being the eighteenth century gives opportunity for effective costuming. Miss Russell received several curtain calls, and the play gives promise of a considerable run.

Mm. Langtry In "The Cross Wny.M NEW YORK. Dec. 29. At the Garrick Theater to-night Mrs. Langtry presented "The Cross Ways." written by herself and J. Hartley Manners. This was the first American performance of the play. The acts number four, and the Interest is well sustained throughout. Mrs. Langtry's role is that of the Duchess of Keensbury, whose husband is Jealous. She has an admirer, who steals a pearl necklece, causing the duke to bring about a separation until the explanation in the last act, when a reconciliation takes place. As the suspected, insulted woman Mrs. Langtry had opportunity to display her ability to win the sympathies of an audience, and at the close of each act she received applause. Salt Affnlnst Mascngnl's Ex-Manager. CHICAGO, Dec. 29. A suit was brought to-day In the Circuit Court against Richard Heard, formerly manager of Signor Pletro Mascagnl, by the firm of Chamberlain, Harrington & Kindt, for J2.000 damages.

The seats are now on sale for this holiday attraction. .XXX "The Theater," a magazine devoted to music and the drama, has entered into its third year with the January number which has Just been issued. The present number la full of excellent features, both literary and pictorial. Justin Huntley McCarthy, the playwright, contributes a rondeau to the New Year and J. I. C. Clarke an article entitled.

The latter play will be acted In Indianapolis this evening, when the veteran actor, J. H. Stoddart, opens his engagement at English's of two nights and Wednesday matinee. This story of Ian McLaren's Is, as most people know, one of much human interest,, and Mr. Stoddart, in the character of the stern old Scotchman, Lachlan Campbell, has found a part that suits him perfectly. The play was presented in this city last year before its New York production and made a strong Impression at that time.

The English licensing act which comes into effect with the new year is Intended to remove inany abuses that have grown up under the old law. While It is gener ally conceded that the clubs, which are so numerous In the United Kingdom, serve a useful purpose and meet a social need of the people, a minority, sufficiently large to be worthy of the attention or Parliament, have degenerated into mere drinking places. Many a so-called club has become a nuisance in the neighborhood in which it is located. It is a poorly disguised saloon. without the restraint of a landlord fearful of the loss of his license or of a visit from the police. A saloon keeper who has for feited his license through some misconduct has been known to organize a club and to continue his former practices without the restrictions and restraints that surround the licensed publican. The new act puts an end to such prac tices. In addition to the requirements as to the registration of every club in which Intoxicating liquor Is sold, the club's secre tary Is required to furnish at the beginning of every year particulars as to the club. its objects, its address, its rules, the num ber of members, its hours of opening and closing, together with a statement that a record is kept of the names and addresses of the members. A club may be struck off the register If Its membership falls below twenty-five, or beceause It is not conducted In good faith as a club, or because there is much drunkenness on the premises, or because persons are habitually admitted as members without an interval of at least forty-eight hours between nomination and admission, or becauss the supply of lliuor

Is not nuder the control of members or a committee. This does not complete the list of offenses punishable by the withdrawal of registration, and the widest discretion is given to the court to say whether or not a club is a sham. The importance of this legislation is shown by the fact that the worklngmen's clubs alone in the United Kingdom number from four to five thousand. Only a comparative few of these are of questionable aim, but the new law will force these to close up or reform their ways. There are some Important provisions in the act dealing with licensed houses. A proprietor charged with permitting drunkenness on his premises must prove that he and his employes did their best to prevent It or be convicted. There is a stringent section aimed at saloon keepers who knowingly supply drink to any one who has been convicted of being a habitual drunkard. There is also a provision under which the wife of a habitual drunkard can receive a protection order against her husr band. The tendency toward equality is shown by conferring the same rights on the husband or a wife similarly addicted. HUMBERTS IN PRISON

XO DEMONSTRATION AT PARIS OX ARRIVAL OF THE SWIXDLERS. Era Humbert Placed In Charice of Her Grandmother, but AH the Others Locked In Cells. PARIS, Dec. 2D. The members of the Humbert family, who were recently arrested in Madrid in connection with the great safe frauds in this city, arrived at Orleans station here at 7:40 o'clock this morning. There was no demonstration. The prisoners were conducted to the Conclergerle prison. The arrival of the fugitives was devoid of sensational incidents, as the French police had chosen an hour for their return here when Paris was only half awake. A number of the chief functionaries of the prefecture were on hand at the station to personally superintend the prisoners arrival. The men and women of the Humbert party were kept separate during the trip from Madrid to Paris, and they were brought from the train in two separate parties. The women came first, leaning on the arms of officers. Madame Humbert was dressed in black and was veiled, but she was readily recognized by her stout figuie. Her young daughter, Eva, was the most pathetic looking of the women. Madame Humbert was followed by her sister Marie, who did not show the bravado exhibited at Madrid, but was pale and appeared discon solate. Frederick Humbert, Madame Humbert's husband, looked completely broken down. Romain D Aurignac and his wife Emile maintained the dalm, defiant attitude they had shown throughout. M. D' Aurignac still wore a Spanish beard, which had served him as a disguise. The party passed through double lines of police to the carriages in waiting.. Detachments of mounted police officers surrounded the vehicles. which were driven at a rattling place through the gathering crowds to the Con clergerle, where minute preparations had been made to receive the prisoners. Owing to the belief of the authorities that Eva Humbert was the innocent victim of her mother s operations, they intrusted her to the custody of the grandmother. Madame Gustave Humbert, widow of the former Minister of Justice in the De Freycinet Cabinet. Mile. Eva at first declined the proposal, declaring her purpose to re main with her mother in prison, but was prevailed on to change her mind. The Judges during tne day interrogated Romain D'Aurlgnac and other members of the family. This was confined to questions of identity. The Judges did not enter upon the merits of the case, as Madame Humbert and the other chief figures were too overcome with excitement and fatigue. Madame Humbert complained of feeling sick, and a doctor was hastily summoned, but he said there was nothing- serious in her condition. The police continue their strict precautions against the Dosslbilitles of suicide. Everything which could be used in self-destruction was taken from the prisoners. CANNOT RUN PAST A SIGNAL. Antomatlc Device for Stopping Rail way Trains. New York Tribune. Ever since the collision at the southern end of the New York Central tunnel last winter, people who ride much on railway cars have been interested in means for stopping trains when engineers fail to see the signals. Several inventions of that class have been the subject of. experiment in this country, but none have 'been formally adopted.- There are signs that Euro pean countries may anticipate the United States in this particular. In a recent report to the State Department at Washington the American consul at Berne, Adolpt L. Frankenthal, mentions & test which he witnessed at the request of an Inventor. The consul rode in the cab of a locomotive drawing four passenger cars at a speed of thirty miles an hour. At a predetermined place the Westinghouse Drakes were set without any action of the engineer. The stoppage of the train was indicated on a dial, the brakes were then released, and a whistle, which had already once sounded as a warning of trouble, now reported the brakes thrown off. Two pieces of apparatus are necessary for this service. One is a lever on the track, which is raised into the right position whenever the signal is set to ston a train. It does not matter whether the sig nal itself is operated by a wire, compressed air or electricity, 'ine lever moves when the signal does. The other part of the apparatus is mounted on the engine. There is an arm hanging down in such a position mat it win oe moved whenever it arrives at the place where the lever is, if the lever sticks up. One might suppose that the shock of contact would hurt either the lever or the arm; but the latter Is mounted so as to swing in such a way as to escape injuryt and yet perform the duty as signed to It. That portion of the mechanism which 1& up in the cab. when it is actuated by the stroke below, sets the brakes with a degree of rapidity that is variable and that is controlled by previous adjustment. Mr. Frankenthal says that several trains on the Swiss roads have been equipped with this apparatus provisionally. ror purposes or experiment, and the hoje is entertained that the government will require its general adoption. On trial trips in Switzerland a speed of thirty-seven miles an nour was developed. In Austria tests were made at various speeds, the maximum being sixty-two miles an hour. One road in Germany, on which several accidents have happened the GrosEherzoIlche Badische has ordered a number of its expresses to be thus equipped. Two Years with a Drokcn Xeck. New York Letter In Philadelphia Press. Walter A. Duryea, by living two years with a broken neck, has fulfilled the pro visions or tne win or nis rather, and the estate of more than $300,000 hi3 been turned over to him. He not only fought physical difficulties, but legal complications, for his sisters contested the will. While bathing at Sea Cliff. Duryea dived Into FhaMow water and broke his neck. It was thought he would live only a short time, but surgeons rigged a harne to hold his head and aided by a powerful constitution he withstood the shock. Twenty-four months have passed, and. although he Is a hopeless Invalid, young Duryea is living, a life of comparative comfort. His father provided that the invalid son should receive his estate, except the income from two tru?t funds of J100.0UO. The will was contested, but the flsters were defeated and the young cripple set out to fulfill the only provision of the will that he should live two yars after the making of the document.

Hanna is stronger now than he was a year or two ago. Then there was a little Jealousy of him on account of his membership of the kitchen cabinet at the White House. The Senate, remember, proceeds always upon the theory that It Is supreme; and not even a President may dictate to it or seek to manipulate It through a backstairs agent. With the change at the White House Hanna stands on his own merits, and these frankness, good humor, common tense, courtse, and. uf late, a

"Apple-Seed Johnny and FruitTree Ilnsh of liitllann. Starke County (Ind.) Republican. Long years ago a quaint character, known as "Apple-seed Johnny," went up and down among the Indians distributing apple seeds and planting fruit trees of various kinds. "Apple-seed Johnny" was known to all the settlers of the country and to the Indians as well, and, no matter how strained tha relations were between the settlers and tho aborigines, he always was made welcome and protected. The work he was doing was for the common good and he was tecognized as a common benefactor. "Appleseed Johnny's" work still lives, although the quaint character has long been sleeping the long sleep of death and his grave Is unknown and unhonored. Rut the fruit industry is a monument to him, and it is one of the profitable Industries of the day. Others took up the work where the pioneer character left it off and to-day every fruit tree agent is following in the footsteps of "Apple-seed Johnny," although perhaps not one in a hundred is aware who the first one was. In Starke county our "Apple-seed Johnny" is Hugh Rogers, the tiger lily fruit man. If the old pioneer could come to life again he and Hugh Rogers would make a great team. Hugh Is a walking encyclopedia on fruit trees, and he would rather sell a man 14 worth of fruit trees than find a $10 bill in the road. Recently a nursery wrote Hugh and asked him what he wanted for a Christmas present. "Send up nn up-to-date platebook and a pair of blue overalls" was the answer. Hugh got then, and now you may expect to see "Fruit Tree Hugh" going up and down the country with all the persistence and assiduity of a modern politician. "Apple-seed Johnn)'" has a worthy successor in the person of Hugh Rogers, the tiger lily fruit farm man, to be known hereafter as "Fruit Tree Hugh." La ho no he re's Venesnelnn Story.

'No. don't do that; It might offend the people. Play for it!' which was agreed to. The government man was allowed to come In. and we played, and the government man won it all to the last dollar. So, after all, no harm was done." A Hoy's Appetit'. Philadelphia Record. The following Incident Illustrates the phenomenal capacity for eating that mot hca!thy children possess. A ten-year-old Mt.
