Burlesque. 2 and 8 p. m. Sirs. La n Birx In "The Crcaawaya." When asked what sfie had to say regarding a woman of her neighborhood with whom she was not pleased, the Second Mrs. Tanqueray remarked: "There is little need to say anything. She Is slx-and-forty the worst thing that could happen to her." However indelicate it may be to allude to the subject, one could not help but feel, in witnessing Mrs. Langtry's production of The Crossways" last night at English's, that the English actress, so long famous as a beauty, resembled Mrs. Tanqueray's neighbor in some respects. Mrs. Langtry tili retains her interesting stage presence to a certain extent, but she can no longer portray the part of a. beautiful young woman convincingly. And. even If she could, she would hardly be able to make "The Crossways" an attractive play. The piece Is a drama of words rather than of action and is at times insipid. The audience last night, an extremely fashionable one, was politely attentive, but evidently a trifle weaned at times, and there was but one spontaneous outburst of applause, coming at the end of the third act, when the star was honored with three recalls after the drama had reached its rather weak climax. The story of the play deals with Virginia. Duchess of Keensbury. who is unhappily married. Just prior to the opening of the piece she is supposed to have had a quarrel with her husband, who has been unreasonably jealous of her. This decides her to Hive him real cause to be Jealou3 and she concludes to go a step further or perhaps It would be nearer the truth to say a big leap further in a flirtation which she has been carrying on with Sir Charles Croffte. one of those about-town Londoners who. if most English dramatists are to be believed, are a pretty bad lot generally. Sir Charles has been trying to win the love of the duchess for some time, and the duchess finally s?ems bent upon throwing aside all restraint and becoming as much to him as she ha been to her husband. Just at this Juncture her young brother, Richard, of whom she Is very fond, tells her of his lovo for Murial Pembroke, a ward of the duke. her husband. ar.'I asks her aid to a secret marriage. The love of the duchess for her brother am! his intended wife brings back J'" uf w uinannow to ncr. one agrees to assist the young lovers, and when Sir Charles Croffte arrives upon the scene to nnisn nis work as a gallant oZ the Boccaccio scnooi ne nnds her determinedly virtu ous and accepts his dismissal with poor grace. Sir Charles is at this time hard pressed for money. Shortly after his dismissal he returns, having forgotten to take witn mm a pnotograph which the duchess had given him as a remembrance. On coming back. h nnds the room empty, and. while searching for the missing portrait, comes acrofs a valuable pearl necklace belonging to the duchess. He then shows himself to be a scoundrel In mor ways than one. for he steals the jewels. Th theft is discovered the next day. An old servant tells the duke that she saw a man leaving his wife's boudoir at 2 o'clock in the morning. Then comes Richard to the rescue, and to save his sister declares that . he himself was the person seen. He Is at ence arrested on the charge of having stolen the necklace. Sir Charles, who has pawned the Jewels to pay a debt of honor, is a barrister, and. as luck will have it. is retain d by Richard to defend him. The case, however, does not come to trial. Sir Charles has a race horse entered in the Derby and this horse wins the big event, netting the owner a round sum of money, and the titled thief is thus enabled to get the Jewels out of pawn and return them, acknowledging that he took them, after becoming conscience-stricken. The duke and the duchefs are reconciled and the play ends happily. The story is not a new one, and although Mae Ingenuity baa been shown by Mrs.

Langtry and her coauthor. Mr. Manners, in making a drama out of their material, little attention has been paid to probabilities or possibilities. The Joint dramatists have drawn a miserable character in Sir Charles, who. while swearing that he loves the duchess ardently, deliberately turns common thief and steals her Jewels at the first chance offered. And this In spite of ihe fact that Sir Charles 13 supposed to be a gentleman, born and bred! Gentlemen of this sort often amuse themselves by making love to other men's wives, It is true, but they don't steal necklaces from their adored ones. And then, when the duchess becomes aware that this lordly lover of hers has stooped to steal her jewelry, is it at all natural that she should hold back from denouncing such a despicable act and calmly allow her brother, whom she really loves, to take upon his innocent shoulders the ignominy of it all? She does, not sincerely care for Sir Charles: fche has merely been flirting with him. and any woman, under these circumstances, would bo consumed with rage upon discovering that the man she had chosen as her gallant was so hopelessly unworthy of a word of endearment. Again, the duchess has done nothing actually wrong, although she has been indiscreet, and the knowledge that she has not dishonored her husband's name would give her strength to brave his angtr, rather than to take such a "sneaky" way out cf the tangle. Mrs. Langtry was never Impressive as the duchess at any stage of the play. She seemed artificial in the more stressful

scenes and was a trifle heavy when lightness of touch seemed desirable. Her support, with the exception of Mr. Manners and Mr. Lang, was mediocre. Mr. Manners is so good an actor that he almost succeeded in making the character of the duke an Interesting one. while Mr. Lang made the beat of a bad bargain by portraying Sir Charles as well as any actor could possibly play the part. G. Davy Burnaby made a silly sort of person out of the duchess's brother Richard. If the authors of the piece really intended to make this character a brainless chap its interpreter was a success. The other roles in the play were not of any great importance, the story having to do nearly altogether with the four characters mentioned. The piece was staged in an elaborate manner, and Mrs. Langtry wore some verv handsome gowns, which attracted much attention. The engagement was for last night only. 'The Cattle King" at the Park. James H. Wallick's company made a change of bill at the Park yesterday, when it presented the famous old Western dra ma, "The Cattle King," in which Manager Walllck himself was once wont to star. The play is a good one of its kind. It tells a more logical stage story than "The Bandit King." the play which held the boards at the Park during the first half of the week, and, although sensational, it sticks closer to real life and does not depend so much upon exaggerated heroics. The play was received at both performances yesterday by overflowing audiences that applauded its thrilling climaxes in an enthusiastic manner that left no room ror doubt as to the thorough satisfaction which the entertainment afforded. John J. Farrell is seen to better advantage as the hero of this piece than he was in the more strenuous scenes of the play that preceded it. His acting in the part of Bob Taylor, the American cattle ranchman who has won fame and fortune at the foot of the great Rockies, is excellent. Manager Wallick, who originated the role, never put so much into it. Mr. Farrell is naturally fitted for characters of this kind, and the management of the company showed good judgment in selecting him to appear In the leading roles of both the "King" plays. It would be hard to find another actor who could handle the characters so well as he. Mr. Farrell is ably seconded by Jack Webster, who makes a picturesque villain of Don Pedro Jose Alexia, the rival of the American cattle man. Miss Marie Pettes, as KatherLne Paxton. shows that she is a. versatile actress, as the part Is widely different from that which she portaryed in the other play, while Helen Mortley, Jeannette Connor and Louise Evarts act the other feminine roles satisfactorily. William Harris, Herbert Warren, Tony West and Homer Mullaney are also worthy of special mention for the clever manner in which they play their respective parts. "The Cattle King" will continue through the rest of the week at the Park, and it is sure to prove as big a success with the patrons of the theater as its predecessor. "Checkers" Played the First Time. SPRINGFIELD, 111.. March 12. The first production of the dramatization by Henry M. Blossom, jr., of St. Louis, of his story, "Checkers," was given at the opera house to-night to a large and fashionable audience by a competent company under the direction of Klrke La Shelle, who was present. Mr. Blossom was also present. The production was staged in an elaborate manner. Two scenes represent a hotel in Hot Springs. Ark., and the grand stand and track" of the Washington Park Club. Chlcagx. Thomas W. Ross took the title role. The audience was enthusiastic, there being frequent curtain calls. Wyndham'a Kew Theater. LONDON, March 12. Sir Charles Wyndham to-night opened his new house, called the New Theater, with a reproduction of "Rosemary." The entire receipts, amounting to 87,500, were devoted to charity. The audience included Consuelo. duchess of Manchester. Lady Sarah Wilson. Princess Hatzfeldt and many other persons of title. The scheme of decoration of the theater is Louis XVI white, with delicate blue medallions and Gobelin hangings. Sir Charles Wyndham and Mary Moore took their original parts and the revival had an enthusiastic reception. Theatrieal Notes. A theatrical event that should prove an exceptionally Interesting one will be the engagement of Grace George In "Pretty Peggy." beginning at English's this evening. Miss George won her first honors as a star last season in "Under Southern Skies," a play that was hardly worthy of her ability. In this new play by Frances Aymar Matthews she is said to be given an excellent opportunity to prove her worth. The piece deals with the early life of Peg Wofflngton. captlvator of David Garrick and enthraller of the fancy of oM. London town. It differs from the Charles Reade and Tom Taylor versions of the life of the actress in that it shows her at the beginning of her career, when Horace Walpole described her as "an impudent-faced Irish girl." The romance between Garrick and herself is treated as seriously as it really deserved to be. and Garrick, who will be portrayed by Robert Loraine. is shown in an historical light as a miserly little rake, incapable of honor even in affairs with women. Miss George, who is herself of Irish extraction, should be capital In the title role, her vivacity and girlish ingenuousness standing her In good stead. The supporting company numbers fifty players, and. beside Mr. Loraine. is to include Annie Ward Tiffany, formerly the leading character woman with Mrs. Flske. The engagement of Miss George is for to-night, to-morrow night and to-morrow's matinee. XXX One of the best sketches to be seen In vaudeville is the one that is being- ucted so well In the Grand's bill this week by Mr. and Mrs. Robyns "The Counsel for the Defense." This little play is a happy mixture cf humor and pathos and the tory It tells is not overdrawn in the least. Mrs. Robyns's impersonation of a New York East Side girl is a natura bit of acting. Most characters of this Kind on the stage are very much overdone, but there Is no exaggeration In this case. The old lawyer as portrayed by Mr. Robyns is a very likable old fellow and true to life. The Grand is doing a splendid week's .business, as its patrons are alive to the fact that one of the best vaudeville programmes of the season is being offered. The version of "Mary of Magdala." to be presented by Mrs. Fiske In this city at the Park the latter part of next week. dif. fers in some respects from the original Taul Heyse play. In translating the drama from the German certain changes were made, though they have not altered in any way the spirit of the story, and are believed to really enhance Its dramatic value. Mrs. Flske has staged the production of "Mary of Magdala" in a manner that is said to eclipse all of her former beautiful offerings and the strong assertion is made that there has been no production seen in this country of equal lavlshness, splendor and artistic superiority. XXX Henry M. Blossom's new four-act comedy drama, "Checkers," taken from the popular book of the same title, will receive Its

Initial production to-night at Chatterton's Opera House. Springfield. 111. It is said that It will prove a most amusing play with the strong characterization of the original story well presented. "Checkers" goes to the Century Theater. St. Louis, for a week, beginning next Monday, and comes to this city for four performances at English's, opening Monday, March 23. XXX Roble's Bohemian Burlesquers, at the Empire this week, have an olio replete with good features. Those that are above the ordinary are Kippy, the tramp Juggler; Frank Finney, in his black-face monologue, and Sansone and Dellla In their display of athletics and head balancing. There Is hardly one feature of the bill that fails to please. The show will remain until Saturday night. xxx The advance sale of seats for the Elks minstrels is proving the largest in the history of the lodge. The sale opened yesterday at English's box office. The Elks will give two performances this season, the minstrel show being on the boards at English's next Monday and Tuesday nights. CONVENTION AT NEW ORLEANS.

A Circular Letter of Information lasued by President Parry. From the office of the National Associa tion of Manufacturers there has been issued th5 following circular letter signed by David M. Parry as president: "All signs Justify the belief that the eighth annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers, to be held in New Orleans. April 14, 15 and 16. will be the most interesting and important in its his tory. The Journeys thither from all parts of the country are certain to be of the utmost historic Interest. The city which has become, by the choice of the association, our generous host on this occasion, is famous the world over for Its culture, its romance and its hospitality. It has lately taken on new industrial life, so that our visit may be made of much business interest. The convention finding itself confronted with new responsibilities, will need, and ought to have, the wisest and most disinterested counsel of all our members. "We are now happy to advise you that. In order that as many members as possible may make the trip in congenial groups, special train service is being arranged for from Indianapolis, Detroit and Cincinnati. Mr. James F. Taylor, of the American Oak Leather Company, of Cincinnati, and Mr. Frederick A. Geier, of the Cincinnati Milling and Machine Company, are in charge of the arrangements for the Cincinnati special. Those going via Cincinnati will please notify Mr. Taylor. Mr. Gebrge H. Barbour, of the Michigan Stove Company, is in charge of the Detroit special. Those going via Detroit will kindly notify Mr. Barbour. In Indianapolis we have arranged for special trains to leave over the Pennsylvania at 3:55 p. m. on Sunday. April 12. and will go to New Orleans via the Louisville & Nashville route from Louisville. We will be pleased to have as many as possible of the members of Indiana and the middle West come with us. and a cordial invitation is extended to you to do so. But at the same time we desire you to consult your own wishes and convenience as to the route you will take, whether by one of the specials or by regular train service. We would suggest, however, that where possible the special train service should be taken advantage of. The cost, one fare for the round trip, is the same by all routes. "We earnestly request all members who intend going via Indianapolis and the number cannot be too large to address Mr. H. F. Adams, National Association of Manufacturers, Indianapolis, asking that their names and the names of as many of the members of their families and friends as possible be recorded, so that the best pos sible arrangements for their comfort may be made. The presence of the ladies has always been a source of gTeat pride and pleasure to all our members, and we feel certain that there are exceptional reasons this year why all our friends would be delighted with the trip." IN THE SIGN LANGUAGE. Deaf Milte Will Render "The Ladr of Lyons at the Institute.

The cast is composed of eleven characters and the performance will be interpreted for the spectators who hear by Utten E. Read, one of the Instructors of the institute. This is the first time In years that anything so elaborate has been attempted by the pupils, but their fidelity in studying the play and their constant rehearsal for three months past has brought them to a high degree of proficiency. The performance will be under the auspices of the Silent Hoosler Athletic Association, an adjunct of the Institute, and the proceeds will be used to purchase new baseball supplies, for the mutes are mighty on the diamond. The admission fee la 25 cents, with 15 cents for children under fifteen. LIKE AN ORIENTAL BAZAAR.

IN INDIANAPOLIS SHOPS

SPRIXG MILLISERY IX BEST STYLES READY FOR EARLY BUYERS. Much Variety in Hats, but the Flat Style Still Prevails Kimonos and Cornets. T had a tilt with one of New York's millinery salesmen last week that might have been more entertaining and less exasperating if there had been another Hoosier auditor," remarked an Indianapolis milliner yesterday. "I had been East nearly two weeks, and had my Ideas of correct headwear pretty well settled, when it became necessary to call on an ornament importer .for a few novelties. My business transacted. I was about to leave, when their star salesman called me back to see a lot of buckles, brooches, circles and dear knows what not. I didn't want them, and told him so, supplementing that statement with the assertion that I didn't consider such ornaments particularly good style for this spring. He answered that while such was undoubtedly the case in New York, his house was expecting a considerable demand for such goods Mnthe South and West I don't think I spoke for a minute or so, but when I did I certainly said things among them that Indianlans were not Indians, nor were Indianapolis women the original types for Riley's characters. "The fact is, Indianapolis women dress well; they are quick to appreciate a change in fashion and sensible in their choice of fads. So long as they show this appreciation I shall make it a point to supply them with correct millinery and nothing else." Among the hats shown, and most of the stores already display quite a number of spring models, this absence of the millinery ornament was marked. In most cases a bow of silk or velvet ribbon takes its place. In shapes there is little change; low and flat crowns prevail, with an occasional toque just by the way of variety. This is somewhat of a surprise, since flat and broad hats have had such a run of popularity. Not longer than sixty days ago Berlin and Vienna designers began picturing small hats in their publications, but this audacity was summarily rebuked by the Parisians, and what Paris says is authoritative. Small flowers and fruit are to be more used than ever before, and of these many are so like nature as to be wonderful. Bunches of cranberries and clusters of red and yellow haws are among the more popular trimmings, but the woman who goes in for realism in hat trimming may also choose apples, currants, cherries, grapes, or even garden peppers. A box of Scotch thistles was so natural as to make one hesitate In touching them for fear of being pricked by the thorns that seemed to be concealed at their base. Black hair braids and hats of plaited ribbon are attractive In their newness, as are also many of the simple street hats of shirred and puffed chiffon. A few "shirtwaist hats" are ready, but it is not expected that they will be so popular as last spring. They are prettier, however, and perhaps shoppers shall change their minds after a few sunshiny days. Iridescent straws vie with butter color, castor, blue and black for preference, and the veil is still present, but not in such quantities as recently; nor Is it supposed to flop about the rim as heretofore. The fashionable woman now has her veil drawn up and massed about the rim and over the crown; a face veil, when worn, being a small affair of plain or dotted net covering only the upper part of the face and temple locks. JAPANESE KIMONOS. Last year women adopted the royal robe of LI Hung Chang and evolved therefrom the popular long, loose wraps of silk which were seen everywhere. This year numerous women are buying real Japanese kimonos which an enterprising firm has imported to extend the richness and . variety of its assortment of home gowns. These kimonos are made of the beautifully sheer silks of the Orient in white, pink, yellow and similar shades, richly hand embroidered in gold and colored floss. Others of wool, a 6ort of crepe weave, are also shown, these latter being less ornate and quite as inexf tensive as similar garments made in Amerca. One of the prettiest of the shorter robes Is a handkerchief geisha as clever in conception as It is pretty. A bordered handkerchief is required as a ruffle at each sleeve cuff and numerous others to complete the border. These are joined to the garment proper by a narrow insertion of embroidery. Two dollars and ninety-eight cents seems a low price for so decided a novelty. Linen plain white butcher's linen plays an important part in the shirtwaist of 1903. Convent embroidery is a frequent decoration, and when so trimmed the whole front is covered with this decoration in hand work. A still more striking novelty Is the linen waist of Mexican drawn work, but it is not likely that It will be widely popular on account of the cost, which is $9.75 for a style just moderately elaborate. This same establishment has recently opened a private room for the sale of corsets and infants' apparel. The departure is much appreciated by customers, since their selections may be made apart from the usual trading aisle with Its unavoidable publicity. During the past week an expert corsetlere from New York has been In attendance explaining the new corset models (spring styles show several variations) and fitting those who desire it. According to the expert a woman does herself an injustice when she accepts a corset without a careful fitting and the proper arrangement and adjustment of the laces. All the better American manufacturers have joined with French designers In a slight elevation of the bust line and a less pronounced dip at the waist. This fact will be appreciated quite as much by the woman of weight as by her slender sister whose pride in a slender waist must needs smother itself in the knowledge of an all too apparent lack of plumpness.

England's prime minister has a business manager in his sister, Miss Balfour, who plays a most notable part in the British affairs of state. Indeed, it is said, she is really the nower behind the Drlme minis terial throne in many instances. However this may be, she. is a woman of the most profound tact, and she has the management of a great deal of the prime minister's personal and public correspondence. Mr. Balfour does not direct her at all In much of this work, and she has so Arm a grasp of the affairs of state that she knows exactly what to write In each case that comes up before her. Dr. Emma Constance Stone, who has late ly died in Melbourne at the age of fortyslx, was the first woman in Australia to be regularly qualified as a physician. She studied first in Philadelphia, afterward in London and later in Melbourne, where, in spite of strong opposition, she induced a number or young women to follow her ex ample. She started a movement for free medical attendaance on poor women by physicians of their own sex, and the movement resulted In the establishment of .the Queen Victoria Hospital. A young woman named Emma Kellogg is seeking to be appointed a game warden in Colorado, and if she succeeds in her quest will probably be the only woman game warden in the country. She has quite a hunting record, having ridden on the back of a wild elk which treed her and on which she dropped with easy grace. After put ting the somewhat excitable animal through his paces she leaned over and cut its throat with her faithful pocketknlfe. Mrs. Elizabeth W. Mitchell is real-estate agent for three blocks of the poorest tenement houses in Boston. She collects rents from about 500 families, and carries on an extensive educational and charitable work among her tenants. She has introduced into the section a kindergarten and branch of the public library, and in the course of her rent collecting manages to give a good many useful hints to the tenement residents. The Vogue of Gray. New York Ledger. One is almost glad that the winter season Is nearly ended, so that furs may be banished from the imagination. The vogue of squirrel and chinchilla has been fatal to many a maiden's beauty. Few women seem to understand that It is not alone the richness and style of their furs that is to be considered, but also the relation they bear to their coloring. No one whose complexion is sallow and whose hair is pale can expect to look well In either of. those mentioned above. The soft, dark furs are universally becoming. Gray should be tabooed by every one who has not either a warm olive or a fair and rosy complexion. It is a neutral tint intended as a background. Observe Its use by that careful and shrewd artist, Mme. Nature. She puts It on her lichens, her tree trunks, her rocks; she paints the sky with it to throw out the violet and silver of the lightning; she lines with it the wings of tropic birds; everywhere she uses it as contrast. She ignores fashion, aiming entirely at effect. So also should the woman who would be beautiful, as what woman would not? It is melancohly to see so much feminine attractiveness immolated on the altar of the prevailing mode. Those Dreadful Men. Washington Post. A group of women were talking about the stupidity of .men at all times and their enormous denseness when their wives were trying to give them a hint. "You know one day we had company unexpectedly, ahd we hardly had enough to go around," said one woman. "I tried to catch my husband's eye to convey to him that he was serving the meat too generously. But he would not take the hint. When he had given out the last bit there were two plates still unfilled. What do you suppose that shameless man did? He simply called the plates back, again and scooped enough off each one to fill the remaining two." "I shall always take my husband one side beforehand and tell him a few things," said an engaged girl. "Well, that won't work." said an. experienced matron. "I did tha,t one day, and when I asked my husband whether he would have pudding or pie for dessert he blurted out. "Good gracious, Helen, I've forgotten which you told me to take.'
