Central on Question of Terre Haote's Street Fair. s-'peclal to the Indianapolis Journal TERRE HAUTE. Ind.. Oct. 7. Mayor Steeg says: "I will take no part on either side of the street fair controversy.'' The street fair issue is rapidly becoming a political one and as the mayor is a candidate for re-election next spring, his stand now is much discussed in connection with the campaign. The street fair management is pushing all work toward making the spectacular effect the big feature of the week. The name "street fair" is being dropped and the word "carnival" being used. The decorations and electric lighting of the streets will be more elaborate' than heretofore, and there will be few. if any. booths. The purpose now above all things, is to have a week of carnival free from rowdyism on the streets and with no bad shows, to the end that the opponents may be rebuked for having opposed a street fair. To-morrow a committee will begin collecting the 15,000 subscribed toward the expense fund. Crowd Braved the Rain. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. LAFAYETTE. Ind., Oct. 7.

I.-In the past few weeks the men at the top in the management of the Vandalia and Big Four have been visiting Terre Haute and lcoking over the ground, figuratively and literally, in regard to the terminal facilities. The result is that the officials of both roads have been so impressed with the fact that the frequent blockades here In the past year, which have caused distress to the shipping interests and esecially In the coal traffic, were due in arge part to the lack of yardage. Within a few days the Big Four has been getting options on land by which the main line can be double-tracked east from the city and the outer yard facilities he Increased. It is now announced that the Vandalia will build new yards at the side of those in use in the east part of the city. Finally there will be three distinct yards. s. - AN ELOCUTIONIST WEDS.

ABEL'S SLAYER ATTACHED BY THE SHERIFF. Wife of Slain Man Seeks to Make Herself Safe In Bartholomew County Court. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., Oct. 7.-Anna Abel, administratrix of the estate, of Charles C. Abel, swore out attachment proceedings against Cudworth Abel late this afternoon, and, as a consequence, all the property of Abel, both real and personal, amounting to perhaps $40,000, is now in the hands of the sheriffs of this and Jackson counties. On May 16 Cudwith C. Abel shot and instantly killed Charles C. Abel, his nephew, at Jonesville, this county. He was later indieted by a specially drawn grand jury for murder in one of the lesser degrees and his trial is set for next Monday, Oct. 13. Some time after the killing Mrs. Abel, who had qualified as administratrix of the estate of her late husband, filed a civil suit against Cudwith Abel for $10,000 damages for the unlawful and wilful killing of her husband, and this action will come up for trial possibly at the November term of the Bartholomew Circuit Court. She alleges In her affidavit for attachment that Abel Is threatening to and has disposed of some of his property with the purpose of defeating or rendering worthless any judgment she might recover against him. Some months ago, in July last, Abel, who was at the time under recognizance bond signed by Joseph I. Irwin and others, was surrendered to the sheriff by Mr. Irwin and upon application to the court in chambers was released on a cash deposit with the clerk of the court of $5,000. This step was taken by Abel to release the lien which attached to his real estate by reason of the bond, and for the purpose of enabling him to transfer a farm located near Jonesville. This trade he afterward made and by it acquired some real estate in Jackson county. The attachment Issued to-day covers property in that county as well as elsewhere. Forbes Put Out by Sullivan.

To-Dar Sehednle. KNCLISH S.-L. H. Sothern in "The Proud Prince." at 8 p. m. I lit AND. High-class vaudeville. 2:15 and 8:15 p. m. PA KK. "The Stain of Guilt," 2 and 8 p. m. KM PI RE. Burlesque. 2 and 8 p. m. B. II. Sothern in "The Proud Prinoe." Before a well proportioned and very at-t-Bitot audience, E. H. Sothern appeared at English's last night in the most ambitious production he has ever brought to t his city. "The Proud Prince" proved a royal drama, although a very curious one, and is a worthy successor to Justin Huntly M Carthy's earlier piece, "If 1 Were King." in which Sothern has been so successful. The new play is refreshing in that It is unlike any other dramatic offering now before the public. It is a strange agglomeration of the romantic, the sportive, the re ligious and the carnal. There is something of melodrama in it, too. and this is its one cheapening feature. It is wonderfully spectacular and beautifully poetic; it is filled with love, romance and chivalry, and its fanciful story, et in surroundings of pictorial splendor, holds an audience fascinated to an unusual degree. To say that last night s assemblage was enthusiastic to say too little. It is seldom that an actor is accorded such a welcome in Indianapolis a welcome that was unreservedly demonstrative and one which was whole-hearted and sincere. The play Is not without its faults of con- j st ruction, but the work, on the whole, has been so cleverly devised and is so artistically presented that it is reasonably certain to prove a substantial success. There Is sure to be a pother as to the morality of the piece, as there has already been in Detriot, where it received Its initial presentation. Mr. Sothern has cut out some of the features of the second act which so shocked the play-goer3 in Detroit, but this portion of the play still lends itself to rigorous criticism, and will probably continue to do so. for. as the play now stands, to eliminate the sensual element would be to make the story meaningless and insipid. There are those who will say that it is a shame that depravity of any kind should be exhibited on the stage, and this objection will be met by others who believe that when a strong moral lesson is the outcome of the pictured evil, and when spirituality is shown in the end of triumph over the lust of the flesh, the dramatist and the actor have a right to employ the most convincing means to lead up to the truth of their doctrine, just an some ministers paint in bold word-pictures the torments of hell in order to bring out more effectively a happy climax that tells of the peace and joy of heaven. A conservative estimate of this questionable second act of "The Proud Prince" would surely not set a seal of approval upon it. for it would seem that the author, Mr. McCarthy, has gone too far in showing his contrasts between the good and the bad and has plunged into extremes that were wholly unnecessary. The "problematic" question aside, "The Proud Prince is a delight to the eye, while the Imaginative language, always poetic, is gratifying to the ear. Mr. McCarthyhas found his inspiration in Longfellow's Sicilian legend. "Robert of Sicily," and has also borrowed a small portion of Victor Hugo's "Notre Dame," and by bringing Inlo play splendidly depicted supernaturalism, has woven a fanciful romance that stands quite alone in modern stage entertainments. As before mentioned, the purpose of the drama is lofty, the theme being the truth that "God shall put down the mighty from their seats and shall exalt those of low degree." At the beginning of the play an open space in the Sicilian hills is seen, with the seacoast visible in the distance a beautiful picture. In the open space is a small church hewn out of rock and with rugged steps leading to its doorway. A statue of an archangel stands in a shrine in the wall, with hands resting ui the hilt of a sword. Near by is the dwelling place of Theron, the executioner, ami his beautiful young daughter Perpetua. This act shows how Robert of Sicily, son of Robert tho Good, and himself known to the people as Robert the Bad, comes to the home of Perpetua bent upon destroyipg the girl's soul. The young King is handsome in outward appearance. but morally he is a monster. His abuse of the maiden brings upon his head the wrath of God and the statue of the archangel, assuming a living figure, transforms the arrogant, wicked monarch Into a miserable, misshapen fool. The transformation takes place while a thunderstorm rages and when the clouds have cleared away the monarch, twisted in body, contorted features and ragged, dirty garments hanging loose upon his form, is laughed at and sneered at by his own subjects, who believe him to be a raving maniac when he cries out that he is their King. This first act is well-nigh perfect. There is no reaching for effects in it. despite its supernatural flavor, and it is most brilliantly acted by the admirable company. If the rest of the play were up to the standard set in the first act "The Proud Prince" would be the greatest drama of the day. The piny is always interesting from this time on, but once in a while the action is allowed to drag and there is sometimes a straining for dramatic effect. To go Into a detailed description of the story and the succession of wonderful stage pictures would be to take up more space than is allowable in a daily -newspaper. In brief, the legend shows how the wretched fool, unable to exert his once-unlimited power, beholds all sorts of insults any tyrannies practiced on the girl. Perpetua. If he himself were still the king he would have been sharing in these outrages and so would never have been made to see them In all their hideousness. But as a helpless onlooker, his sleeping soul begins to waken: the blood of his honest manhood begins to course through his veins, and a love, pure ns spring water and true as steel, forms in his heart. At last, when the sweet. saint-like Perpetua is about to meet death through her persecutors, the fool, stirred by the very noblest emotion of which man Is capable, offers to sacrifice his own life to save hers. It is then that the Archangel restores the purified Robert to his natural form and it Is then that Perpetua, feeling a deep love for him, becomes his queen, to sit beside him on the throne that is In the future to be symbolic of truth and righteousness. XXX The author's development of his story provides abundantly for scenic display, and Mr. Sothern has taken advantage of every opportunity for this attractive element of the drama. The first setting has already been described. The second act shows the home of Lycabetta, a courtesan, and this scene is one of voluptuous magnificence. The mistress of this palace reclines on a golden couch, with her associate daughters of pleasure to entertain her with music and the dance. There is a ballet and a succession of gorgeous stage pictures. The third act shows a church near Syracuse, an effective interior scene; in which a crowd of over ion people gather. This scene is in direct contrast to the one preceding it. for here is made prominent the sorrow of sin and the joy of purity and noble living. The fourth and last net presents the gardens of the royal palace In Syracuse, and the setting Is one si unusual grandeur and In keeping with the strong and pleasing climax. X X X There are thirty haracters in the play, and the cast is one of high average merit. Mr. Sothern. as Robert of Sicily, scored a triumph last night. In this play, more than any other in which he has been seen in recent years, he presents an Impressive and forceful impersonation. He is an actor of many natural gifts and of many cultivated powers a scholar, a poet and a player who is always attractive and always out of the ordinary. He possesses personal magnetism, mobility of facial expression. an unusual charm of voice, and an abillty to penetrate all of the possibilities of the character which he assumes. In the opening scene he showed Robert to be haughty, vicious, indifferent to all that is good about him. careless as to the consequences of sin. Gradually, through the succeeding acts, he showed the development of Robertas nobler qualities by his facial expression, his manner of speech and his bearing. He went to the very heart of the character and revealed Its secrets by the employment of hi well-sc hooled, genuine art. Of the multitude of players he bore far the Ilea t ef part of the burden of the plav. and the credit for Its success must, therelore, be attributed very largely to him. His impersonation is certainly the best that he has so far presented in Indianapolis, and fully deserving of the enthusiastic applause that was showered upon him.

It was onl' in the more stressful scenes that she failed to be entirely convincing. The next role in noil. .,' !-... ,,-t . ii , .. is that of Lvcabett.i. the queen of Sicilian courtesans, and Mary Hall s impersonation of this feather-brained but beautiful creature was thoroughly artistic. It is r.t a part that one can admire, nor one tl at may be discussed freely bv the auditors between acts, but mere is no denying the -fact that it was splendidly ac ted by Mi..s Hall, whose attractive features, graceful 'gure and soft voice made her especially suited to the role. The king's fai orite courtier. Hildebrand, was capitally portrayed by L. Rogers Lytton. whose performance was strong throughout, and John Flndlay gave on excellent portraiture of the court fool. Diogenes. Rowland Buckstone, who has been with Sothern s-tnoe the eery beginning of that actor's starring career, acted the small part of Theron the executioner, in an able manner, although the role was not in keeping with his peculiar talents, for Mr. Buckstone is a very good comedian, and there is not a line of humor in his present part. Sydnev C. Mather as the Archangel. William Harris as he archbishop and Malcolm Bradley as Hieronymus the priest, were all equal to carefdl and intelligent presentations of their respective characters, and the many minor roles were, without exception. In trustworthy hands. xxx One of the most attractive features of the performanc I was the incidental music, without which iraany of the important scenes would iave ,ost na,f their tectManuel Klein, .the composer of the score, directed the orchestra in person, and a fine orchestra it wrfp. the regular band of musicians at English's being augmented by the presence .f several capable instrumentalists, including a harpist, traveling with Mr. Sothdrn's organization. Between acts the musio continued uninterruptedly, forshadowlng mi a most artistic manner what was to coW in the succeeding scene. The audience gradually became aware of the significance of this carefully prepared feature of the; production, and applauded Mr. Klein anö his compositions several times during the evening.
