PARK "A Kassed Hero." 2 and 8 p. m. KM P1RE Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. The Coy Lord Quex" at i:nK Hub's. Indianapolis is having Its first view of 'The Gay Lord Quex." which was pre sented at English!, yesterday afternoon and" last night to audiences of moderate size. This work of the famous English playwright, Arthur Wing Pincro, was seen in nearly every other city of any importance In the country last season, and It has been written about and talked about to such an extent that, while new to this city. It geems as If an old story were being warmed over for the benetlt of local theater-goers. Purists have attacked It time and time again with pens as sharp as Tinero's own; scholars, alive only to the masterly manner In which this dramatist handles everything he undertake?, have enthused over this particular play on account of the brilliancy of its lines; newspaper critics have dis agreed, as newspaper critics always do, re garding the play, its purpose, its construc tion and everything else pertaining to its creation and interpretation. Finero himself has dubbed it "a comedy of modern life in London, as he sees it," and has let it go at that. He doesn't consider his play immoral not at all; some of the jople whom he pictures in It are immoral, he says, and he thinks that characters on the stage should be reflections of characters in real life. There Is no use in pretending that men like Lord Quex and women like th Duchess of Ktrood ar? Frankensteins such as are only to be encountered In the fanciful writings of an authci or playwright. They are rvul enough, goodness knows, and It seems absurd that any critics should ever have called the play a distorted view of human ity. It is not distorted, unfortunately, but It i decidedly disagreeable. This Is the story that thi play has to tell: Ukc most men who are themselves steeped In what Is called worldlness" for lack of a more expressive word in the Lnglish language that will not seem too inelegant. Lord Ouex falls in love with an innocent young girl. Muriel Eden, the foster-tdstt r of tophie tulgarney. a popular manicurist. Sophie, in her capacity as a professional woman rubbing blow s w ith the London world of fashion, has learned much about Ouex and doe all in her do wer to prevent the union fur the nobleman has made up his mind to marry Muriel even going so far as to spy upon Quex. discovering h m in a bedroom occupied by the Duchess of Ftrood. mother beautiful sample of the nobility as Hnero "sees it." The - cUthess is very fascinating, and. Incidentally, ha a husband seventy years old. Quex

suspects that Sophie is shadowing him. He tells the duchess, who opens the bedroom door suddenly, and Sophie falls upon her face into the room. Sophie retires hurriedlywho wouldn't? but Quex sends the duchess to an adjoining apartment and contrives to again induce Sophie to enter the room, afterward locking the door upon her. He argues that, since she will tell Muriel and thus put an end to his love affair with the girl, he may as well compromise Sophie, so as to drag her down with him. The dialogue at this climax is what caused the blase Londoners to attend per

formances of the play night after night lor over a year. That It was written by a very clever man there is no denying. After a turbulent scene Sophie finally wins Quex's admiration by deciding to sacrifice herself and savo Muriel. Lord Quex suddenly becomes a gentleman, allows her to take her departure and in the final act Is rewarded by hav!ng Muriel accept his offer of marriage through the clever man agement or the little manicurist, wnu nas become convinced that he went to the apartment of the duchess merely to return some old presents which was really the fact of the matter. Th niflv renuires a very Intelligent inter pretation to prove even "palatable." and the present company, witn tne exception ui its three leading members, is not a capable one at all. The performance at times seemed very amateurish and reminded one of a stock company in a cneap ineanr. The third act, however, was played in a comparatively creditable manner because of the fact that all of the acting was done by Miss Lynden, as sopnie, uranuon iturst, as I.ord Quex. and Miss Ann Warrington, as the Duchess of Strood. These three players give careful Interpretations of their parts. Miss Lynden Is good in several of her principal scenes; Mr. Hurst, although stiff and mechanical at times, makes a handsome Lord Quex and acts with some intelligence, and Miss Warrington, as the ultra-romantic duchess, "who colors ordinary events In life rather highly and burns a great deal of red fire," gives a satisfactory characterization of her role. The play Is not to be compared with the same writer's "Trelawney of the Wells," and it Is hard to understand how Plnero could be satisfied with such an offensive and abso lutely useless Ftage story when he can write such wholesome and vastly more en tertaining plays If he but chooses to do so. "The Gay Lord Quex" will be given for the last time at English's to-night. "For Srrortl or Sons" a Success. LONDON. Jan. 21. At the Shaftesbury Theater to-night Julia Neilson and Fred Terry scored a success at the opening of the season in a venturesome experiment, a combination of drama and opera, entitled "For Sword or Song." which Is described as a poetical music play. The book is by George Legge and Louis Calvert, while the music is written by Raymond Ro3ee. The play provoked memories of The Bohemian Girl," the animating iaca being to show that the lyre is mightier than the sword. Miss Neilson sang well. but she was handicapped by playing a male character. Louis Calvert was in cluded in the cast. Theatrical Notes. The sale of seats for Henry Miller's ap pearance at English's will open at the box office this morning. XXX The principal character of "A Ragged Hero," the new melodrama which begins a half-week's engagement at the Park with to-day's matinee, IS a "hobo," and the story tells of his rise from poverty to competence. Incidental to the redemption of this "knight of the road," the threads of a love story are woven through the play. A number of novel stage effects are introduced, notable among which is the burning of a farmhouse. The play will probably prove a good attraction at the Park. xxx "Arizona," one of the best" of all Ameri can plays, promises to be a strong drawing card at English's to-morrow and Saturday nights and at Saturday's matinee. It has scored a great success wherever presented and 1 remembered by Indianapolis theater goers as one of the most Interesting or last season's attractions at English's. There are two companies now presenting "Arizona on the road. The one to be seen here is the No. 1 organization which Is now on Its way to the Pacific coast. xxx The three Rio brothers, who are with the burlesque show at the Empire this week, are about the finest specimens of gymnasts ever seen' on a vaudeville stage. In gymnastic or abrobatic troupes one strong man is usually to be found who is capable of lifting his associate performers as ir.tney were babies, but all three of the Rios are giants in strength, if not in stature. The smallest of the trio seems to be just as poweriui in a muscular way as his brothers. Their act is attracting unusual attention among tne amateur athletes and gymnasts of the city. xxx The Grand is enjoying a big week's busi ness. Saharet's dancing is the best to be seen in the vaudeville theater of America to-day, and although her "turn" on' the stage Is a. very short one, it is wen worth attention. She is not sen to special advan tage in vaudeville, however. As her work Is solely for the purpose of pleasing the eye, she requires a gorgeous stage setting In keeping with her beautiful costumes and a gorgeous stage setting is something which is conspicuous by its absence in most vaudeville theaters. Her dances seem very much out of place in a "drawing-room setting" her Spanish dance especially. which should be perrormed amid all the splendor and romantic environment of a Castilian courtyard or a lantern bedecked ballroom of the Mardi Gras time. There are several other acts on the Grand s cur rent bill that arc interesting. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Miss Louise Lilly has gone to New York to visit relatives.

The bride was attended by Mrs. Louise Pink as matron of honor and Louis Efroymson acted as best man. The wedding party entered the ceremony room, which was trimmed with vines and palms, while the wedding march of Mendelssohn was played. Rabbi Messing pronounced the ceremony, the music changing for the service to "Oh, Promise Me." The bride was gowned in a lace robe, fashioned over cream silk. She wore a veil and carried Bride roses. 'Mrs. Pink wore a silk batiste gown and carried red carnations. The several rooms were attractively decorated with red flowers and palms, the color tones of red and green predominating. Mr. and Mrs. Efroymson went East on their wedding journey. On their return they will reside at 1133 Xorth New Jersey street. The Art of Dress. New York Commercial Advertiser. A woman would often insure greater success by bestowing a day or two In studying her gown and how to put It on and all its accessories than In buying another and a very expensive one. She should give expression and individuality to her dress. How much we associate historical celebrities in our minds with the garments they wore. We could not imagine Queen Elizabeth in a sylphlike chiffon of to-day; brocades and ruffles were made for her, and she rendered them a necessary part of her dignity. Nor could Marie or Catherine de Medici be disasso ciated with the close ruffs and lace collars and all the splendor and repose of the garments they wore. Their raiment is almost as much embalmed in our memories as themselves. All should know the colors that suit them, but they must bear in mind that what Is becoming at seventeen may not suit seven-and-twenty, and is very likely to look grotesque at seven-and-thirty. Many of the sex who, keeping In their minds the Ideal of youth, follow in the same lines at forty-seven, for their pains look nearer fifty-seven or even sixty seven than younger. It is quite absurd to wear what is fashionable but unbecoming. The first duty of a woman in dress is to look well, and it does not come within her obligation to be a mere block for the display of her dress makers inventions. The modistes, the manufacturers and the tradesmen are re sponsible for the constant change of fash ions in order to keep their business suc cessful, but it is no part of a lady s duty to devote herself to their encouragement. Indeed, the best born of our sex, as a rule (for there are exceptions to every rule). keep to one style of clothes and modes which suit them, and change them only a little as the time goes on. A Little Love Story. February Smart Set. A dreamer and a man of action loved a woman. The dreamer said: "I shall write verses in her praise; they will touch her vanity, and she will love me for them." But the man of action said: "How oldfashioned! I shall corner the stock market and that will bring her." So the dreamer wrote verses and he Induced a friend of his, who ran a ten-cent magazine, to print, them. And the man of action cornered something or other and be came a mlllioniare. In the meantime the girl married a man who inherited his money and they lived happy ever after. But the dreamer was so proud of his verses that he didn't care; and the man of action was so busy that he didn t care. The only one to suffer was the man she married. Good Fndee. New York Evening Sun. An excellent fudge calls for a quarter of a pound of unsweetened chocolate, a quarter of a pound of butter, one and a half pounds granulated sugar, one cupful of sweet milk and one teasponful of vanilla extract. Break or scrape the chocolate into tiny bits, and put all the Ingredients together into a porcelain lined or agate kettle. Stand it over the fire, stir occa sionally and let boll rapidly until It hardens upon being dropped into cold water. Remove from the fire and stir until it begins to grain. Pour immediately Into buttered pans and when firm, but not hard, mark off into squares. If it Js desired to make It sugar, beat hard for a few minutes Just before pouring Into the pans. A variation of this recipe can be made by using rich. thick cream In place of milk, omitting the butter. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

COLISEUM TO MAKE PROFIT

PROJECTORS FIGURE IT "WILL PAY 6 PEIl CEXT. AXXUAL DIVIDENDS. Two Additional Subscriptions of $ 1,000 Are Reported Dlacnlon of Value of Investment In Stock. Amount previously reported JS3.500 A. A. Barnes 1.000 John C. and Harry S. New 1,W0 Total J85.500 Said A. A. Barnes: "I made my sub scription because I believe that the business men of Indianapolis who can support ought to support such things as are for the public good; because 1 believe-the coliseum will be a good thing for the community; because 1 believe in giving proportionately to all things that help the com munity even when there is no return for me, as there Is not in this, but where there Is direct help to others." The Joint meetings of the coliseum executive and ways and means committees are the clearing house for heart-to-heart talks on coliseum finances. The committees talk freely of their work, the arguments they have to meet, the objections they have to surmount, the questions they have to answer. They spoke yesterday of the prevalent belief that subscriptions to the coliseum stock are gifts. t 'Coliseum stock will be a sure dividend payer," said Hugh J. McGowan. "I have made estimates as to its income and profit and I would be willing to underwrite its paying a fixed dividend." "It ought to be easily a 5 per cent, dividend paj-ing Investment," said Chairman McCulloch. "That is a good point." said William Scott, manager of the Daniel Stewart company. "Our contribution was charged to expense, it being our idea that the subscription was a gift, in a large way." "Which makes It more appreciated." said Mr. McGowan. "I myself believe that money invested in coliseum stock will be a dividend payer, and i would like to figure out Just what rate of dividend may be expected." "Here is a letter," said Frank M. Murphy, "whlcn I just received from J. O. Heyworth. of Chicago. He was the man who built the Sixty-third-street coliseum in Chicago. This building is 200x700 feet, much larger than the one here Is projected. Mr. Heyworth writes that coliseums are dividend payers, and that the first year after the completion of the Slxty-thlrd-street coliseum it paid 20 per cent, net on a capitalization of $50O.0uO. That building cost 450,OUO." That is enlightening." said Mr. Scott. M'GOWAN IS SURE. "Here is another illustration," said Mr. McGowan. "We have 200,000 people In Indianapolis. If one-fourth of the population comes to the entertainments which the coliseum company will give every year at 25 cents admission that will be $12,500, which is the sum required to pay 5 per cent, dividends on the capital stock of $250,000, leaving all the rest of the income for the maintenance of the building. These entertainments would be popular In their character and would attract 10.000 to 20,000 people at one time. The coliseum company has the opportunity to give most of the entertainments and to make the money. Take the horse show, for instance. As much as $150 for a season for a box has been paid In Chicago and $! for single box seats for one performance. There is abundant opportunity, accompanied by what I regard as unquestioned certainty as to results, for the coliseum to earn 5 per cent, dividends and htll leave it available for its many public uses." The committee discussed other features of income and also the estimated cost of maintenance, and all the discussion resolved Itself In favor of the investment as a profitable one. Mr. Scott said he thought the practical and business result of the coliseum was all that was needed to stimulate liberality on the part of some subscribers. The committee's reports yesterday demonstrated great progress. Much of the work is preparatory, but the reports sustained the enthusiasm which has been shown from the start. Two new subscriptions of $1,000 each were reported. A. A. Barnes, proprietor of the Udell ladder works, and John C. and Harry S. New were the subscribers. Mr. Barnes is interested in several enterprises which have promised liberal subscriptions, so that his subscription personally Is received by the committee as wholly from civic pride. The committee will' meet again to-morrow to receive reports from the subcommittees and additional subscriptions. THE COLISEUM BILL. The bill prepared by the coliseum legislative committee, of which E. B. Martindale is chairman, was introduced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Thompson. It Is as follows: "Section 1. Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana.

Lumber Dealers and Sah and Door Salmmen Are Entertained. The Retail Lumber Dealers Association of Indiana and the Central Association of Traveling Sash and Door Salesmen, as a finale to their annual meeting at the Grand Hotel, were entertained last night with a smoker and vaudeville entertainment given by the travelers, with the lumber dealers as their guests. The vaudeville was ar- j ranged Dy tert r elbleman and consisted or a number of turns of considerable merit. Moung Mya, a Hindoo foot Juggler, earned the applause by his ability. J. Russel Powell, with coon songs, and Bert Fiebleman, with several selections, including a poem by Will Carleton, were other numbers. Harry Y. Mercer sang "If I Were King" and Miss Myrtle Anderson, a violinist, played selections. A young colored woman enlivened the entertainment with a few minutes of dancing, more laborious than artistic. The Plunger Quartet, colored men with voices of considerable volume, sang "coon" songs and received much applause. Harry Watson, comedian, and Miss Annie Lloyd, were the entertainers drafted from the company now at the Park Theater, and Clifford and Harvey, two dancers, and Bert Leslie, tramp comedian, were on the programme through the courtesy of the management of the Empire Theater. A cakewalk. participated In by the best of Indianapolis performers, closed the entertainment. At the session of the lumber dealers yesterday W. F. Stilwell, of Lafayette, read a paper, and H. B. Burnett, of Indianapolis, talked on "Theory vs. Practice." The following officers were selected for the ensuing year: President, William Pultz, Greensburg; vice president, Barney Smith, South Bend; secretary. F. P. Fowler. Indianapolis. Indianapolis was chosen as the next convention city and the meeting will be held on Jan. 21 of next year. The Sash and Door Salesmen also elected officers, as follows: Branson Griffin, of Indianapolis, salesman for the Central Coal and Coke Company, president; Edward Foreham, or Danville, 111., vice president, and John Oxenford. of Indianapolis, secretary. The traveling salesmen will meet in Chicago at their next meeting In conjunction with the Illinois Retail Lumber Deal ers Association., INVITATION TO MITCHELL CiOVEnOR ASKS HIM TO MEET 1VITII GET-COAL COMMISSION. MInfe AVorkers Provident Accept Through Senator Hendee and "Will Attend Meeting; This Afternoon. Governor Durbln yesterday Invited John Mitchell, president of the United Mine Workers of America, now In convention here, to appear before the joint legislative committee and himself to make a statement from the viewpoint of the miners on the shortage of the coal supply and the tringency in the available amount of coal for consumption in Indiana. Mr. Mitchell accepted the invitation and promised to at tend the conference at 4:30 o'clock this aft ernoon. Senator E. E. Hendee, one of the members of the Senate committee, called on President Mitchell at the Occidental Hotel last night, bearing with him the following note from Charles E. Wilson, secretary to the Governor: "Governor Durbin directs mr t to you his romnllments. and t n invito v-mi to meet with him and the legislative committee having under consideration the coal situation, at his office in the State Capitol at 4 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, the 22d Inst." President Mitchell, after rccelvlnir fhr note, expressed to Senator Hendee his acceptance of the invitation. He said that, although he knew nothing specific about the coal situation in Indiana, he had become aware of 'the shortage and might be of some assistance to the committee. He said that to meet the committee and to explain to them that the shortage is partially caused by the lack of production from the anthracite mines during' the summer might assist the committee to a better understanding of the situation. Mr. Mitchell said thAt he had nnt mnph knowledge of the situation in Indiana. He saia ne understood that more coal was turned out or the mines during the past year than during the year before and he thought it- llkelv. He said hp Vtipw nf several good reasons why greater demand ior coat existed in Indiana now than formerly and ascribed It to the necessity for coal for use in districts wherp frns bad formerly been used. VIEWPOINT OF MINERS. Senator Hendee, on behalf of the Govjy ernor and legislative committee stated to Mr. Mitchell that the committee was doing everything in its power to ascertain the truth. He said that the talk of collusion and connivance between the transportation companies and the operators caused much gossip as to the honesty of the motives of the parties to the combination. He said the commission has investigated the situa tion to the best of its ability and has found nothing on which to base a criticism of the coal men or the railroads. Conferences and examination of miners, railroad managers and dealers have not unearthed even a like lihood of a collusion and nothing more remained than to seek information from a miner. He said that he hoped Mr. Mitchell would appear before the commission and say if he knew of such a collusion. That Mr. Mitchell's statement to the commission will be important is certain. The commission has made every effort to get at the operators and managers of the coal carrying roads and the Governor has caused to be examined the leading coal men of the State. Nothing in the nature of collusion has been found. The production of coal has been as much, if not more than a year ago, and the only reason for the shortage has been found to be the greater demand for coal and the inferior means of transportation of the railroads. The railroads without exception, the commission has discovered, are unable to transport all the coal mined in Indiana. The coal mined, much of it contracted for many months ago, has either lain at the mines awaiting the railroads' ability to haul it or it has been shipped to points other than those for which it was Intended and sold In the oien market. This has had the effect of leading the people and many of the newspapers In the State, to believe the coal has been diverted to Chicago and other points. The members of the commission and the Governor found that although some coal had been diverted the divergence was not because of a desire to sell It at a greater price, but because of the absolute Impossibility of being able to ship it to Indianapolis and the other Indiana towns in which it had been sold on contracts. Senator Hendee said last night that If Mr. Mitchell would tell the committee what he thinks of the coal situation the majority of the people will be better assured of the honesty of the coal dealers in Indiana. If Mr. Mitchell, who perfectly understands the difficulties of transportation after the coal is mined, will explain the situation from the standpoint of the miner, Senator Hendee believes that the work of the com mission will be nearly ended and it will be able to submit a report of Its deliberations to the respective houses of the Legislature which the members represent in the inves tigation.

STATE FAIR ATTRACTIONS. ' Three-Cornered Match Rare of rarer Two It are Meetings a Year. The executive committee of the State Board of Agriculture held a meeting yesterday afternoon and closed a contract with the Indianapolis Racing Association, whereby the racing association will give two race meetings a year for four years at the State fair grounds track. Members of the committee discussed attractions for the State fair next September, and it was decided that Sccj-ctary Downing should open negotiations with the owners of Dan Parch. Prince Alert and Dan H. for a big three-cornered match race to be given during the week of the State fair. All the members of the committee declared that such a race would bring thousands of Indiana peopTe to the fair. The horses named are the kings of the pacing world, and as all of them are Indiana bred a match race would not only attract Indiana people, but followers of harness horses from all parts of the country. . Such a race would determine the pacing championship and would also settle a longdisputed question between the owners of the three kings of pacers as to which horse Is entitled to the honor of champion. Dan Patch holds the best record, but the owners of Irlnce Alert and Dan II. claim that in a match race their horses would stand an equal chance with Dan Patch. The State board will offer a big purse for the race and it is believed the owners will accept. Mr. Savage has been quoted that he will use Dan Patch for exhibition miles only the coming season, but It Is believed that he can be induced tc agree to a match race, especially as the horses are all Indiana bred.

Giants he might slay but this microscopic organism defied him, and in many a camSaign more men were destroyed by camp iseases than by the enemy's sword. The one way to arm against microbic disease is tokeep the blood pure. Impure blood both breed 8 and feeds disease. The signs of impure blood are easy to read. Pimples, boils, and eruptions generally proclaim the blood to be impure. Scrofulous scores and swellings, salt-rheum, eczema, etc., are other signs of. a corrupt condition of the blood. Doctor Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery purifies the blood and cures diseases caused by the blood's impurity. It cures scrofulous sores, boils, pimple eczema and other defiling and disfiguring diseases.
