To-Dar'i Schedule. GRAND. Vaudeville, 2:15 and 8:13 p. m. PARK. "Eight Bells," 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE! Burlesque, 2 and 8 p. m. "Eight Dells' at the Park. "Elsht Bells." the old three-act "spectacular -pantomimic-farce," which the four Byrne brothers have been playing on the road ever since they ceased t; be a feature with the Haverly Minstrels years ago, la now playing Its regular visit at the Park, having opened a half-week's engagement yesterday before two large audiences. The Byrnes promised to give a greatly improved show this season, but they haven't lived up to their promise. The piece is the same old "Eight Bells," and while the lngenlus mechanical effects are all laughable to those spectators who have not seen them time and time again, there Is room for a vast amount of improvement In the show Itself. While the Byrnes are on the stage the action Is brisk, and at times very amusing, but with the clever acrobatic brothers not In view of the audience the entertainment Invariably drags monotonously, the Jokes too old and the pantomimic tricks too childish to keep a mixed audience in a happy frame of mind. The Byrnes were smart enough to Invent many comical stage effects years ago and they will have to "think up" some new ones If they expect to keep their performance up to date. "Eight Bells" always was the greatest of freak shows on the road, and It Is more of a curiosity this season than ever before. It is all horseplay, old-time pantomimic antics such as were first Introduced In "Ilumpty Dumpty," and trick scenery. What dialogue there is In the piece is absolutely Idiotic, and the farce hasn't even the advantage of a series of bright musical numbers to carry it to success. Everything depends upon the Byrnes themselves, under the circumstances, and while they work hard enough to keep up the fun and succeed. In a measure. In their undertaking they cannot be on the stage throughout the performance. Their supporting company Is pretty poor hence the many dull periods in the show. The- acrobatic exhibitions of the four brothers were greatly enjoyed at both performances yesterday, as were the splendid trick bicycle riding of the Martelle family and the singing specialty of Miss Ella Shields. The vocal work of Miss Shields, who possesses a deep contralto voice well N adapted to the singing of negro songs. Is the only music In the entertainment worthy of the name. Aside from this young woman the feminine members of the company have little to do aside from giving vent to occasional piercing screams, and they do this rather half-heartedly. The "mysterious hansom cab." the revolving boat, and the garden walls with their many unexpected openings, through which the acrobats are persistently tumbling, are the real successes of the show. Just as they were when the piece was first brought out In the long ago. "Eight Bells" will continue the rest of the week at the Park with the usual dally matinees. Theatrical Notes. There has been a good demand for seats for the engagement of Andrew Mack at English's next Monday and Tuesday nights in his revival of the famous Bouclcault play. "Arrah-na-Pogue." The engagement of this handsome young singing comedian will, be something of a novelty, as. with the exception of "The Emerald Isle," in which Jefferson De Angelis was seen here during the winter, the local theatrical season has been singularly devoid of the better class of Irish plays, all of the Irish characters seen in the Indianapolis theaters this season being of the sort that the Hibernian societies are mobbing nowadays in the East. It is worth while to glance over the names of famous actors who have played parts similar to those in which Andrew Mack Is now appearing. Barney Williams, at one time one of the favorite actors on the American stage, was an Irish comedian, as was also John Brougham. John Drew, sr.. the father of the present John Drew and husband of the celebrated Mrs. Drew, played Irish parts, as did Dion Bouclcault himself. William J. Florence and William Scanlan both earned fame and fortune In Irish roles. All of these actors are dead. About the only three players on the American stage to-daj portraying characters of this class are Joseph Murphy, Chauncey Olcott and Andrew Mack, and Mack is considered by many the sweetest singer and best actor of them all. XXX There is a Hon belonging to the Hagenbck show, at the Park Theater next week, which is paid to be an excellent weather prophet. Those connected with the company claim that the frequency of Brutus's roars denotes the approach of a storm. While the show was at the New York Theater. New York city, last fall, this particular Hon caused much perturbation among the members of the "Iris" company, playing next doer at the Criterion Theater. All that separates the two stages is a brick wall pierced by numerous doors. Ofttimes. In th most trying scenes of the play Brutus's roars could be plainly heard in the auditorium of the Criterion. So annoying did this become that the lion was finally banished to the basement of the New York and remained there during the entire ten weeks engagement. Miss Vir ginia Harned. in the meantime, became interested In the beaft and ventured a theory as to his prophetical ability. "If a person with a corn can feel the approach of a storm, how much better equipped for meteorological prognostication is the Hon .Wto has t'ce as many toes!" she said. In

the abser.ee of a better theory this ex planation stood during the run of the'IIa genbeck fthow in New York.

XX The forthcoming production next Wednesday night at English's of Shakspeare's beautiful play, "The Tempest." with Louis James and Frederick Warde as the leading members of the presenting company, is attracting considerable attention. The revival of this drama, which is one of the Shakspearean plays seldom seen on the stage nowadays, has been attended by great success everywhere this season. The scenery and much depends upon the stage settings in producing the piece is said to ptesent the most entrancing harmony of colors Imaginable, and it is also said that the transformation of some of the stage pictures is effected with the smoothness and apparent magic, of a kaleidoscope. The brilliant costumes used In the production were designed by Mrs. Siedle, of the Metropolitan Opera House. New York, and the incidental music was composed and arranged by Maxlne de Grosse, who will personally direct the orchestra during the Indianapolis engagement. The leading members of the supporting company are Norman Hackett. Miss Edith Fassett. Miss Teresa Maxwell, who, by the way, is well known in Indianapolis, Thomas Coffin Cooke and Wadsworth Harris. The seats for the performance will be placed on sale Monday. xxx Mrs. Leslie Carter's Chicago engagement Is proving such a success that she Is credited with winning the greatest triumph in the history of the drama in the big Western metropolis. "Du Barry" created a profound impression on its first night there, and since that time the Illinois Theater cannot hold the crowds that have been flocking to witness the performance. Chicago is Mrs. Carter's home, and her receptions in that city have always been enthusiastic, but her present engagement will far outshine any previous ones. XXX There will be two exceptional features In the Grand's vaudeville bill next week. Wright Huntington and his company, which includes Florida Klngsley and W. H. St. Clalrr will present a little play called "A Stolen Kiss," which has been a great success In the Eastern vaudeville houses, and Edith Helena, the girl with the phenomenal soprano voice, will sing a repertoire of songs at each performance. This week's bill at the Grand Is proving a good drawing card, and Clay Clement, the Nichols Sisters and Nellie Hawthorne have all scored successes. x x Theodore Kremer, author of many bloodcurdling melodramas that have been seen in this city at the Park, haa finally turned out a play that is considered a really fine piece of writing. The new play is called "The Triumph of an Empress." and is announced as a Russian romantic drama, with Catharine the Great as the central figure. Miss Mildred Holland, who is now starring in the romantic piece. "The Lily and the Prince," is to appear in the new drama. xx x M. . Witmark & Sons, the big musical publishing firm of New York, have purchased the publication rights of "The Mischief Maker." a bright and tuneful musical comedy recently produced by the students of Columbia College. The piece is said to be the most original as well as the most meritorious ever given by college boys. The book is by Edgar Allen Wolff, the lyrics by Arthur Garfield Hayes and the music by John Penny. xx x The Earl of Rosslyn has demonstrated the fact that he Is a failure as a star. After trying his play in New York with little success he went to Canada, where it was thought that his title would prove a drawing card. But the Canadians didn't like him at all. and he is now back in New York, having abandoned his tour, and will return to England. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. A. L.

WANTS TO VISIT AGED PARENTS.

John Daptlste Secures the Good Offices of Senator Beverldge. John Baptiste, of Irvington, a young minister of the Disciples Church, who is a naturalized Armenian, has requested Senator Beveridge to write to C. M. Dickinson, United States consul general at Constantinople, to see if it will be possible for him to guarantee Baptiste's safety in the event that he returns to Armenia to visit his parents. Baptiste has been endeavoring for over a year to arrange to visit his old home under assurance that he will be exempted from prosecution by the Armenian authorities. His parents are aged, and it has been fourteen years since he last saw them, consequently he is very anxious to make the visit, but dares not go as long as he is liable to be thrown Into prison the moment he sots foot on Armenian soil. He has been told by the authorities at Washington that the United States cannot guarantee his protection if he returns to his native land, even for a brief visit, and he thought that perhaps Consul General Dickinson would be able to make some arrangement with the Armenian authorities. Senator Beveridge wrote to the consul general yesterday. MUSIC. Mnsfkvereln Concert at German House The fourth and last concert of Its regular season was given last night at the German House by the Musikverein. The large auditorium was crowded to the doors with a brilliant audience, which enthusiastically applauded all of the numbers .on the programme. Although the demonstrations of approval of the various numbers were often loud and long, only two encores were given during the evening, as It has often been the case in the past to allow the entertainments to become too longydrawn out. The programme last night was excellent through out, being neither of too classic nor too "popular" a nature, but a happy medium between the two that succeeded in pleasing everybody. The concert opened with the overture "Oberon" by Weber, and it was played admirably by the German House orchestra, which, It may be added, was never heard to better advantage than during last night's concert. "Fruhlingsdithrambe," or "Song of Spring." was then rendered by the big chorus of mixed voices, with William H. Morrison, Jr., singing the solo part. This number was given a delightful interpretation and Mr. Morrison's baritone proved equal to every requirement of the solo passages. Young Ellis Levy, the Instrumental star of the evening, was next on the programme. Although only fourteen years old, this little music student is among the best violinists in Indianapolis, and his playing last night gave promise of great things to be expected of him In the future. He gave the very difficult "Andante and Scherzo Capriccloso" of David In really fine style. His bowing and fingering were of subtle and almost perfect decision and his tone of unusual purity. He was the greatest feature of the entertainment, and as the audience was unwilling for him to cease playing he rendered a number that was not on the programme the Bach-Guonod "Ave Maria," and played it with delicious simplicity, accompanied sympathetically on the piano by Mrs. S. L. Kiser. The male chorus of the German House was heard in "Blue Eyes," by Witt, and "The Hunter's False Love." by Dregert. giving the two numbers without orchestral accompaniment under the skillful conductorshlp of Prof. Alexander Ernestinoff, whose work throughout the evening on the director's platform was largely responsible for the great success of the concert. Both selections were sung with good effect. The women's chorus then sang the ever popular and extremely tuneful waltz of Gillet. "Echoes from the Ball." and sang It so well that the audience demanded a repetition of the number a request that was finally granted. With the male chorus and the orchestra Edward Taylor rendered "Wach Auf ("Awake"), by Baldamus, and this beautiful German song was given a very sweet rendition, although the orchestra seemed a trifle too heavy In tone In some of the passages. Mr. Taylor's tenor voice was much appreciated by the audience. "Zlgeunermadchen," or "The Gypsy Maiden." was the concluding vocal number of the concert, and was Interpreted, in a manner that won much applause, by Alice Fleming Whallon. with the chorus of mixed voices. The orchestra played as its principal numbers Lalo's "Rhapsody" and Massenet's "Scenes Picturesque," the latter a descriptive composition of much beauty, and both numbers were given in a most satisfactory way. with power and refinement. At the conclusion of the concert dancing began and lasted until 3 o'clock this morning, the ball being the final one of the Musikvercin's concert season. Festival Chorus Itehenrsal. The May festival chorus rehearsed Rossini's "Stabat Mater" and the first and secand parts of Hadyn's "Creation" at Shortridge High School Hall last night. The chorus was directed by Louis Evans, assistant conductor of the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and showed intelligent progress with the difficult works. The quartet and trio parts from the "Creation" were sung by Miss Kate Gibson. Miss Jessie . Mae Payne. Mr. W. II. Laut. Mr. Homer Van Wie and Mr. Charles Daugherty and were appreciated by the chorus. Concert at Woodruff Club. A Ceclllan concert was given last night by the Woodruff Club. In Woodruff Place. Mrs. Ida Gray Scott, soprano, and Miss Margaret, Lockwood, violinist, were the soloists of the evening. Mrs. Scott sang the "Jewel Song" from "Faust" and Guonod's "Flower Song" from the same opera, and Miss Lockwood played Mascagnl's popular Intermezzo from 'Cavallerla Rustlcana" and Barza's "Angels' Serenade." The concert was much enjoyed by a large audience.

O.. the presiding officer, opened the session by reading a portion of the thlra chapter of Revelation, after which the bishop led in an earnest prayer. The bishop's address to the conference was timely. He showed that the pastors are largely responsible for the spiritual condition of their charges, as well as the church-at large. The examination Into the moral and official character of the ministers was taken up and ended without charges. The following men were advanced to deacons' orders: E. E. Ewald, F. B. Wal mer, F. F.

Mosler, president of the Indiana Conference branch Y. P. A. The address of the evening was by the Rev. J. B. Kanaga, of Columbus, O., whose subject was "Three Types of Christianity." MICHIGAN COAL MINERS. On President Mitchell's Advice Another Convention Will Be Held. The convention of the members of the United Mine Workers of America In the district of Michigan arid the wage conference between the operators of that district will be reassembled "In Bay City, Mich., on Monday. A disagreement over the scale of wages threatened a prolonged strike in the district, and in order to avert it the good offices of President. John Mitchell were secured. Mr. Mitchell attended the convention which was held In Bay City on March 16 and is conversant with the situation, and his recommendation for a reassembling of the two parties to the dispute was adopted at the conference held In the office of the United Mine Workers yesterday. The Michigan operators who attended the conference were Aleck Zaglemeyer, E. B. Foss, R. M. Randall, John Handy, Frank Benham and Thomas Davis. The last named is the commissioner of mines in Michigan. Representing the miners, Stephen Coven, president of the Michigan district. John Harris, its secretary, W. F. Williams, Thomas Canary, E. S. McCullough and Robert Quinan attended the conference. All of the mines in Michigan at the present time are idle because of the failure of the miners and operators to come to an agreement on a wage scale, and the chief argument used by both parties to the dispute is the imperative necessity for haste in a settlement. That a long strike would be disastrous to both sides Is conceded, and the efforts of both Mr. Mitchell and the leader of the operators has been to bring about an amicable adjustment with the least possible delay. The convention to be called In Bay City will probably be the same as that held In Detroit, the only changes in the delegations being those necessary to fill vacancies caused by sickness and other unforeseen circumstances. The conference yesterday agreed on the following increases to recommend to the convention: Ten cents a ton for pick mining, 8 cents a ton for machine mining and 12H per cent, for day laborers.

The Commercial Club committee on the interests of the city of Indianapolis arranged to witness a test of an asphalt repair machine yesterday forenoon, but there was a hitch in the programme. The machine, which is known as the Economic Asphalt Heater, is said to have some excellent features, chief of which is the cheapness with which it may be operated. The test was to have been held on Delaware street, south of Maryland, and the machine and the committee were there, but for some reason there was no material on hand for the machine to work with. An exhibition of the machine will be given the committee later. Petitions in Bankruptcy. Keith Bros. & Co., N. Greensfelder & Co. and I Heller & Co..
