AMUSEMENTS. To-Day'a Schedule. GRAND Vaudeville. 2:15 and 8:15 p. m. PARK "On the Bridge at Midnight," 2 and 8 p. m. EMPIRE American Burlesquers, 2 and 8 p. m. Madame Mantelll, the prima donna who is the chief feature of the Grand's opening entertainment this week, Is new to the vaudeville stage, having made her debut toward the close of the last regular season at Keith's Theater, in Philadelphia. For five years this Italian mezzo-soprano was a member of the Grau Opera Company, and ahe Is considered an actress of much ability, as well as a most finished singer. She made her New York debut in "Aida" and electrified the great audiences at the Metropolitan Opera House with her Impassioned Interpretation of the part. She shared with Jean de Reszke, on that occasion, applause of the most enthusiastic description. She was also very successful in "Les Huguenots" acd "II Trovatore." and even in "Lohengrin," the latter a work for which she would seem unsuited. Madame Mantelll entered vaudeville for the simple reason that s'ie tired of the arduous duties of grand operatic work, and longed to "take things easy" for a while. Hers is the style of the concert platform rather than the vaudeville stage. She refuses to rush off Into the wings after each number in the manner customary with vaudeville singers. She comes before the audience to sing, and there is ac "reaching" for applause with her. She- remains on the stage until she has rendered her four numbers, and her whole heart is in her work from beginning to end. XXX With two performances to-day the new melodrama. "On the Bridge at Midnight." will bring its successful engagement at the Park to a close. This play was produced for the first time in Chicago two weeks ago at Lincoln J. Carter'a home theater, and thus far it has not been seen outside of Chicago and Indianapolis. That it will be a mmey-maker on the popular-price circuu- :ere is scarcely a doubt, as it is not onl u ' ic the average as a thrilling melodrs s but enjoys the benefit of being put ot stage in an unusually attractive wt . management having spared no expei e 1 providing a fine scenic equipment. Th Park's first minstrel show of the season wi'l put in an appearance to-morrow, to remain for the latter half of the week. The attraction will be Hi Henry's company of singers, dancers, comedians and vaudeville performers. This organization scored a hit at the Park last season, as it proved to be one of the best burnt-cork sho?."- seen in Indianapolis during the theatrical year. The minstrels will present a new programme this time. Prominent in, the company are Hi Henry, Arthur Deming. Billy Clark, Corrigan and Dove. Billy Lyons, 0M Latoy Brothers and the Bartelli troupe of acrobats. One of the principal vocalists of the aggregation is B. G. Hardcaatle, a young man from Anderson. Ind., who possesses a voice of excellent quality. XXX The American production of Stephen Phllhps's poetical drama. "Ulysses," promised last season, but delayed until this fall, will be made at the Garden Theater, New York, on Sept 14, and rehearsals are now well under way. Tyrone Power, who portrayed Judas so effectively In Mrs. Fiske's production of "Mary of Magdala," will play the title role: Rose Coghlan will appear in the leading femjnine part of Penelope, and other prominent players in the cast will be Ralph Delmore, Edgar Selwyn. Fuller Mellish (last seen with Martin Harvey), Olive Oliver and Adelaide Prince. xxa Is a rival Napoleon of the stage coming So challenge supremacy with Charles Frohtnan? asks the Dramatic Mirror in its last issue. Such a bold young chieftain is surely afield, and his name is Samuel Shubert. Mr. Shubert. In alliance with Messrs. Nixon and Zimmerman, already controls four theaters on Broadway. New York. He has also taken possession of the Avenue Theater and the Prince of Wales Theater, in London, and has arranged for a production of "Dolly Varden"' in Paris. His programme of attractions for this season includes seven musical comedies and a new romantic play, with Aubrey Bouclcault as the star. xxx The American Burlesquers are attracting good-sized audiences to the Empire this week. The strongest part of the show is the olio. The Bell brothers, in their musical specialty, are well worth hearing, and the Bachellor sisters give a singing and dancing sketch that is pleasing. McFarland and Murray and the two Hewitts contribute acts that are not new. but which contain some merit. Jeanette Dupre heads the burlesque CH-formers, and, seconded by Renie Washurn and Henrietta Wheeler, sings some zsew songs that ' catch on." xxx Kathryn Osterman. well known as a vaudeville star during the last four seasons, will begin her tour in the new comedy, "Miss Petticoats." in Boston a week from next Monday night. The play is a dramatization of the novel of the same title, written by "Dwight TU ton." Few people know that the name of "Dwight Tilton" is the pseudonym for two clever young newspaper men of Boston, who join hands in their literary productions. Their names are George TUton Richardson and Wilder Dwight Quint. xxx "Babes of Toyland." the great extravaganza that has been running all summer with such success in Chicago, is not to be "c t" in the least when it goes on its road to if. It will be a tremendous undertaking to transport the production about the country, as there are sixty-four tons of special scenery and ninety big costume trunks to be taken from city to city. Twelve cars seven sixty foot baggage cars and five sleepers will constitute the special train that will carry "Babes of Toyland" from Chicago to Pittsburg. xxx he two Farnum brothers, who are well 11k d in Indianapolis, will both have new characters to originate this season. William Farnum. pleasantly remembered by local theater-goers as the handsome young Ben-Hur of last season, will appear as the leading actor In the forthcoming production of "A Japanese Nightingale" in New York, and Dustln Farnum, last seen here as the dis:tlng Lieutenant Denton In "Arizona." Is ro play the principal male character in "The Virginian." XXX De Wolf Hopper will begin his second season in "Mr. Pickwick" to-morrow evening at Saratoga. His uompaoy, which numbers

nearly seventy persons. includes many of the players who appeared In the original production of the charming little musical comedy. It Is hardly likely that Mr.. Hopper will be seen In anything else this season.

Chlmito to Have n - Theater. CHICAGO. Sept. l.-The W. 8. Cleveland Amusement Company have secured the Seventh Regiment armory at the corner of Wabash avenue and Hubbard court and will expend $100.0u0 in transferring it Into a theater. The company has a capital of $.yx000 snd has secured two other eligible sites for theaters in this city. TORILS OF THE TOWN A drunken man boarded an Indiana and Columbia avenue car last night and with a sigh of relief settled down in his seat for a little snooze, for he was tired from his hard walking with his heavy load. Street after street was passed and still the man, who had freely imbibed, slumbered peacefully, regardless of the constant cries of the conductor as crossings were passed. At the end of the line the car stopped and the conductor tapped the man on the back several times, but still he slumbered on. Several hard shakes were necessary to bring the hard drinker to a realization that his Journey was at an end and. as he stumbled off the running board of the car, he huskily said, "W er n'ell am I?" "You are in Muncie," answered the copductor as he prepared to ring the bell for the motorman to go ahead. But the man demurred. "Gee vhiz. Its growed!" he exclaimed. "Why I used to live there four years ago," and in his enthusiasm he shook himself toP' ther, put on a wise face and examined the buildings along the car line. "I'm goin' to Indianapolis on Indiana avenue and I guess I'll go back with you If you're goin' there again to-night," he said. "It'll cost you a nickel," said the conductor. "Only a nickel in one of them open cars, too! They're fine, and I slept all the way out here. Guess I'll go back," he said, and with that he climbed laboriously into his seat and was soon back In the land of dreams while the car was wending Its way towards the heart of the city. Occasionally the conductor, who was of humorous turn of mind, would cry out the name of an imaginary town through which they were supposed to be passing. "Pendleton!" he cried in a loud tone of voice as the car rounded a sharp curve on the way in and he called "McCordsville!" and later "Lawrence!" To all of the cries the Imbiber would rouse himself and "take his pikings" along the line to the great amusement of the other occupants of the car, and he would occasionally remark that the last drink he had taken was too much for him and then slide a little further down in his seat. At Illinois and Washington streets the conductor cried "Indianapolis!" and the sleeper was aroused at once. He jumped to his feet and demanded a transfer to Indiana avenue. "No more booze for me to-night," he said, as he stepped off the car and started up Illinois street. "Been in Muncie and here I am back home. Ain't that a h 1 of a note!" and he tore up his transfer, deciding that a walk to his home would do him good. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

Several clerks in the building who worked late smelled smoke and on going into the hall found the corridors dense with smoke. An alarm was turned in and the fire was found to be confined to a galvanized iron can. There was no loss. Midshipmen on Vacation. Midshipmen Hugh Brown, son of Admiral Brown.

It was 0SM of the latter class that remarked upon his sterling honesty. "He is the only man who ever held that position who could not be bought," was his remark. There was a chorus of dissent from the "wise" ones. Then an alderman spoke up. "You are right." he said. "That is Just what a corporation official told me once. He sai-l he tri.-.l to buy your frienJ several times, but although he paid enough each time he was never able to secure anything more than a ttuaut right."

A white or figured organdie gown, if very simply made and lac only used as a trimming, may be so altered by the addition of various accessories as to play the part of several frocks. A belt made of several straps of narrow black velvet on white lace and having many short loops and long ends, a lace stock with black velvet drawn through its meshes, and a fichu of chiffon or lace with narrow velvet ribbon, and perhaps little narnow arm bands to match these carefully adjusted to a simple frock will work wonders. Another set of different style, and in liberty satin ribbon matching some color note In the figures of the frock, will work still another transformation. In the same way a white or black hat of the large flat style may have its trimmings changed to match the gown it is to be worn with, and with the still further aid of various veilings cne hat may do good service for a halfdozen different fcowns. A little taste and judgment are often equal to much ready money in matters sartorial. Voice and Complexion. Philadelphia Record. "Did you ever see a blonde contralto?" asked a teacher of vocal music. "I'll be bound, you never did, for the reason that all contraltos aro dark. For a matter of twenty years I have observed the human voice, and I have come to the conclusion that the coloring of a person has some sort of influence upon the vocal organs. Blonde persons with blue eyes, ruddy complexions and yellow hair incline to have high, shtrp, metallic voices soprano voices. The blackhaired and dusky Incline to have rich, deep, mellow voices. I won't go so far as to say that I can 'tell by a woman's appearance what type of voice she has, but I will say that I can usually give a pretty good guess as to her voice. To be sure, I have seen blondes with deep voices and brunettes with high ones, but I have only seen this rarely. Never in my life have I seen a blonde contralto a naturally blonde one, 1 mean." Wise in Her Generation. Philadelphia Telegraph. Mary was a domestic treasure, and when she gave her mistress a month's notice on the plea that she was going to be married there was weeping and wailLig in the household. "Oh, Mary, wouldn't you be willing to oblige, me by putting off your marriage for a week if I am not suited when your notice expires?" asked her distressed employer. "Well, ma'am. I wouldn't mind waiting myself," was the reply, "but men Is different. If you don't nail 'em when they're ready for it you can't nail 'em at all." For Clubwomen. New York Evening Post. Mrs. Marian M. Fenney, a prominent club woman of Little Rock, Ark., makes a suggestion which may recommend itself. Why," she writes, "cannot women's clubs do for members going to another town what men's clubs and lodges do give letters recommending them to fellowship In some club? Many a heart might be gladdened if it felt sure of a welcome among club women, although they were strangers." MYSTERIOUS DISEASE. It Resembles the Bnbonlc Plague and la Spreading in t aba. NEW YORK, Sept. 1. Menaced by a disease which has baffled the best medical skill of the island, the health department officials of Cuba have applied to the authorities of Columbia University and Jefferson Medical College, of Philadelphia, for aid in determining the nature of the disease. The disease, in many of its symptoms, resembles bubonic plague, but it is said to be more swift In its progress and more deadly in its effects. It first appeared some months ago in the isolated town of Daiquiri, province of Santiago. Men employed in the iron mines in that locality were afflicted. The disease did not yield to treatment and the mortality was greater thau in yellow fever or any kindred disease. The inhabitants become panic stricken and an American steel company with large interests there took up the matter. Denial of the Report. HAVANA, Sept. 1. Dr. Finlay, head of the Health Department, says there is not the slightest foundation for a statement published in the United States that a disease resembling plague had developed at Daiquiri, Province of Santiago. There are no cases of fever at Daiquiri, he said, except of the ordinary kind. HE SAILED O.N THE AMERICA. Captain Hoffman, Survivor of First of Contests for Famous Cup. New York World. Among those who are attending the yacht races is old Captain Henry Hoffman, the only survivor 01 the crew which sailed the America in 1851. Captafn Hoffman is a millionaire, but with his accumulation of dollars his interest in affairs nautical has ... wr ceased. The grizzh-d old vetoran of the seas, who. when a buy of sixteen, was a member of the crew of the old America, which won the cup which has since never been "lifted." takes a keen delight in the struggle waged off Sandy Hook. Although a mere boy when the America sailed out of British waters with the cup safely stowed away in her cabin. Captain Hoffman has a keen recollection of the event of lsöl. "It was a great race." he said, "and 1 have witnessed the recurrence of each race since then In ÜMM Wt iters. When 1 was cloven years of age I was a sailor. It was natural with me. for my ancestors were sailors and loved the sea. At fifteen i became a member of the crew of the old America, whose timbers I am trying to outlive. She sailed Into British waters fiftyone years ago and when the race was over the America was first and the rest nowhere. "The art of shipbuilding has undergone decided and radical changes since the old America captured the cup. To-day everything is sacrificed for speed. In the Reliance and the Shamrock we have the embodiment of the racing craft pure ana simple. "The old America was fast, but she was useful and comfortable and only stripped and donned her racing gear when speed was required. Neither she nor any other

vessel that then, sailed possessed the speed of the Shamrock and Reliance of to-day. Advancement in the art of shipbuilding as concentrated in the building of swift yachts has brought about the creation of marine wonders in steam and sail. "But my heart naturally goes back to the days of the American Clipper and the America, creations of American genius and manned by Americans. Steam has driven the sailing vessel to the rear and the art of building ships such as sailed under the American flag of half a century ago is lost. A new Order of things has come. Lighter and stronger materials, machinery with which to work and create, advances in scientific construction, and all that. "In the America we had a graceful wooden craft with lines that. to-day would vie with most sail vessels, but in the Shamrock and Reliance different models are presented, repres-ening all that is modern and little that existed when the America captured the cup. "American skill has successfully coped with the best that England has produced for half a century and 1 see no reason for changing my views, so often expressed, that the sup is safe. The Reliance. I believe, is a better boat than the Shamrock in blow and calm." Captain Hoffman is head of the lighterage department of the Berwin-White Coal Mining Company. In the coal business he has accumulated a vast fortune and resides at Flatbush in a handsome house. He owns a fine sailing yacht and during his hours from business spends most of his time afloat.

CONGRESS OF ACTUARIES MORTALITY INVESTIGATIONS DISCTSSKD BY THE DELEGATES. ExatEKerated Report of the Death Rate at Havana Denied by the Cuban Minister. NEW YORK, Sept. L At the second day's session of the Fourth International Congress of Actuaries there was a general discussion concerning desirable subjects for future mortality investigations. Emery IsV -Clintock, of New York, spoke of the work of the committee of the Actuarial Society of America having charge of the recent investigation into the experience of thirtyfour life insurance companies with ninetyeight classes of risks, and President Pierson called upon Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor, who said in part: "During the last three or four years I have been frequently asked to furnish a rule or measure of damages to be applied when a man Is killed in some mechanical trade. The courts are without the rule and I am unable to supply it. i think, however, that with the assistance of actuarial skill such a rule may be supplied so that we may have fairly correct tables showing the expectancy of life in the various trades. Such a work by the actuaries of this and other countries would knit the ties between the insurance companies and the people. It needs the actuaries of the different countries to ascertain with reasonable accurracy these expectancy tables." President Pierson read tlie following telegram from Senor Quesada. Cuban minister at Washington: "In justice to my country I beg you to say to the congress that Mr. Hoffman's statement about statistics and mortality of Havana are not correct. I send by mail publications of the sanitary departments of Cuba showing how hasty and unfounded are his remarks. They show the mortality to be at the annual rate of about twenty per thousand. During last June it was at the annual rate of eighteen and five-tenths per thousand." On Monday Mr. Hoffman, who is university lecturer of actuarial subjects, said In part: "When we are told by a secretary of war that the mortality in Cuba is not more than that in New York city, it does not require actual knowledge to cause one to smile and to know that it is nonsense." He also declared that the statement thai the death rate of the city of Havana is no greater than that of Washington was untrue and that for some time to come the death rate of Havana would be from 50 to 100 per cent, greater than any Northern city. IN ST. LOUIS NEXT YEAR ARMY OF THE PHILIPPINES' TO MEET AT THE WORLD'S FAIR. Address by Gen. Irving: Hale, President of the Society New Ritnal Adopted. ST. PAUL, Minn., Sept. 1. The Army of the Philippines held a two hours' session to-day, and selected St. Louis as the place for the next annual reunion. In an address of some length Gen. Irving Hale delivered a glowing eulogy on the work of the army In the Philippines, and then discussed pending legislation of the convention. General Hale scored a hit in his address when he declared that the National Society of the Army of the Philippines was here to stay, and that it must never allow itself to be absorbed. He said: "An Important matter for our consideration Is the relation of this society to the several other societies of the Spanish-American war. We must co-operate with them so far as possible, and no doubt in time many of them will combine with others. But It must be understood that we must never merge this society Into any other. It has a distinctive character, and is destined to live and grow in American history." General Hale took up the question of his own succession in so direct a way that it is not likely he will be re-elected to the presidency He said that he did not believe in the principle of one man holdiug office too long. There is much talk of making General Charles King president, Lieutenant MacRae, of Council Bluffs, first vice president, is also mentioned for the presidency. General Hale, in his address, spoke in favor of the retention of Secretary Schutte. He also favored a change in the constitution, wnich would admit contract surgeons to membership.
