A Chapter on Nerves. If the distressing and universal malady known as nervous prostration has any redeeming quality at all it may be found in the fact that unusual situations and unique Eymptoms are frequently thereto attached. "Oh, yes," remarked a bright-faced elderly Indianapolis woman, "we have all got nerves at our house now, every one of us. even the youngest girl, Katharine, so we have plenty to talk about and to worry about. "My oldest daughter, Agnes, had nerves first on account of clubs; she belonged to too many and broke herself down trying to be as Interested and as active as the rest of the clubwomen. Dear me, how that girl used to dig and study! But she doesn't do it now; she only reads novels and talks about her "nerves. Our doctor tells us not to discuss our nervousness at all, but that shows how little he knows; the only real comfort nervous people have is talking about their nerves. Martha, my second daughter, wouldn't belong to clubs at all. Martha, you know, is considered unusually original, and she claims that clever people don't need to belong to clubs. So Martha, with all her might and main, went in for music Our doctor says it was Wagner that wrecked Martha's nerves. I don't know about that, but I do know that Martha's constant piano practice made a nervous wreck of me. Martha had to give up her music for a long, long time, and she Joined Agnes and me in taking a great many naps, drinking hot milk and talking nerves. "On account of the general and calamitous wreck of the family Katharine decided that she would not take up any particular form of intellectual or social dissipation, but would be 'all around;' there would certainly be safety, she maintained, in a Judicious mixture of many human interests, taken in temperate doses. Her scheme seemed all right, and the rest of us privately felt very proud of our little Katharine's wise plan of life she, surely, would- escape the pervading doom of 'nerves "Last week, however," concluded the bright-faced, nervous lady, "Katharine was overheard to tell one of her intimate friends that she was afraid she had 'got 'em.' She had always declared that she never would tell anybody if she was nervous, and that she never would talk about her symptoms as the rest of us do. What troubles me is that I'm afraid she will say that her nervous system had to give way from hearing the rest of us complain so much. At any rate, now that the whole family has nerves, except father, we have nothing more to dread; the worst has happened." Suggestions to Shoppers. The pretty brown shades are finding such favor for gowns and suits this fall that they are necessarily used to a great extent in tho accompanying silk petticoats and one can find any number of pretty smart underskirts ready made in the brown silks. One of the prettiest nas a deep flounce of alternate strappings and rows of hemstitching and its price is 515. Another brown petticoat has a deep accordion plaited ruffie with a full ruche of the silk for edging. xxx On of the most attractive of the new silk petticoats is of a sober black and white striped silk, in effect somewhat like the "summer silks" dear to our grandmothers. The flounce is edged by a very narrow and very full pinked niching of grass green silk and tiny pipings of the same silk form the further elaboration of the flounce. The price Is $15. XXX Cut steel buckles and slides for the front and back ornamentation of the belt are shown In a number of very attractive patterns. The britliancy of the cut steel makes the buckles handsome ornaments for the waist. xxx Prettiest of all the new pins and slides for the belt are those of gun metal studded with rhinestones. The gleam of the tiny ornaments brightens the dull metal and the effect is particularly good. The price of the set Is J2, and the same ornaments, minus the rhlnestone settings, are but $L XXX The silver cuff pins are among the prettiest of their kind and set off admirably the dainty linen cuffs which are so smart Just now. For 51 one can get a pretty pair of sterling silver pins either plain, chased, or, daintiest of all, wi'h an edge of tiny beading. xxx Dutch pictures, artistic and quaint in subject and treatment, with broad flat frames, are shown in one furnishing shop for 52.43.

Detroit Journal. Why do men turn to women when they want help, and women to men? They do. The man-hater fondly believes that if in trouble she would seek comfort and support from some member of her own sex, and turn to wicked man only as a last resort. The woman-hater has like illusions. But the trained observer notices this: In a big down-town law office two stenog

raphers have their desks near the door. One is a girl, the other a man, A timid old woman enters the big room and does not know which of the many grave-looking men bending over books she wishes to see. After a moment's hesitation she goes over to the man and asks him for Information and advice. Enter a man, on the other hand, and he turns to the girl. Miss Stenographer may be silly-looking; she may be chewing gun, and Mr. Stenographer may be grave and capable in appearance, but the visitor turns to the former, as sure as grass grows round the stump. Watch it on the street If you are not conviced. The shopping woman, who can't find the store she vants or the stranger who doesn't know where to stand to make the car stop for her, asks a policeman. But the lost man or boy holds up a motherly-looUlng woman or a pretty girl and demands of her Information. What's the conclusion? Why. nothing very- startling, but something often denied in these days namely, that one does trust members of the other sex, the independence of the twentieth century woman and the clannlshness of men, notwithstanding.

So Very Sentimental. New York Commercial Advertiser. A wh'te farm, of which all the animals cows, horses, goats, chickens, pigs, cats, dogs, etc. are white, is one of the show places In the Berkshlres, but a white garden is something distinctly novel. This odd "pleasaunce" was planted by a certain opulent and doting bridegroom for his bride. Their wedding took place early in September, and when the bride made a tour of her new home for the first time she was fairly dazzled by the surprise prepared for her a garden of snowy flowers, all growing and blowing amicably together, defying season and soil and differences of temperament thanks to the skill of a particularly artlful gardener, with hothouses and cool houses) unlimited money at command. The garden Is triangular in shape, and has paths of white shell. It is shut away from the orchard by a hedge of hawthorne and rose of Sharon bushes which will be white in the spring. Near the hedge is several apple trees, which in May will lend their quota of snowy beauty to the unique garden. The flowers planted in this bride's white garden are sweet peas, fuchsias, primro3es, violets, lilacs, roses, delphiniums, poppies, carnations, wistaria, irises, pansles, bachelors' buttons, candytuft, geraniums, hyacinths, camellias, canterbury bells, lupins, lilies, peonies and Guelder roses. The beds are edged with a green foliage, which has a soft, white, downy surface. Should De Served Hot. Table Talk. That coffee and tea and chocolate should be served very hot Is a rule frequently honored in the breach. I cannot understand why the English tea-cozy is not more frequently used. Well-shaped to fit one's own pots, heavily padded and slipped over the coffee or teapot, it will keep the beverage hot for an hour. Why do not silver dish covers enter more frequently into the list of wedding presents? Nothing is more desirable for keeping the victuals hot at family meals where the serving is done on the table. One of Carlyle's servants said that if Carlyle could have got things hotter than boiling he would have liked It better. I know of one eccentric woman who shares his enthusiasm. Her table has all sorts of contrivances for keeping things hot. Even the gravy spoon,, when not in use, is slipped into a tall cup of hot water, while the courses come from the kitchen in a sort of cash-delivery trolley, which admits of no loitering on the way. . Deserves a, Monument. Boston Transcript. The first biography of Jonathan Edwards says that "he gave himself wholly to the work of the ministry, and entangled not himself with tho affairs of this life." In other words his wife, the mother of his eleven children, had to keep the temporal machinery in good running order. We think she deserves a memorial quite as much as he does. THE THEATEES.

It has come to be quite a matter of course that the musicians who compose the scores for the modern musical productions invariably outshine their co-workers, the men who write the librettos. All of which means that another new operatic comedy, "The Beauty Doctor," was presented In Indianapolis at English's last night, and that it proved to be very much like several other operatic comedies seen in this city during last season and this, in that it possessed the same plotless, pointless book, filled with ineffective attempt at comedy, inconsequential dialogue and silly and unprofitable situations. 1 s Some of the music of C. Herbert Kerr, a new writer, was tuneful . and pleasing. Howard Shelley, who wrote the libretto, demonstrated in his work an ability to write modestly good lyrics, but fell hopelessly short of constructing a stage story that would keep an audience entertained for the necessary two hours and a half. "The Beauty Doctor" was nicely staged, and the chorus was an unusually good one, both as to appearance and vocal ability. To the sweet-voiced, pretty girls of this chorus belonged the greater part of the credit for keeping last night's audience" from going to sleep. No matter how capable a chorus may be, and no matter how attractive the stage pictures that are presented, a musical comedy cannot attain success without comedians. Last night's performance was nothing less than pitiful so far as the socalled funmaking was concerned. There was not a real comedian In the organization, but even If there had been a comedian, it would have been next to impossible for him to squeeze any humor out of the wretchedly mirthless material furnished by the author of the sad affair. The story of the piece had something to do with a woman who made it a business to restore youth and beauty to aged or ugly faces. The author calls the thing a satire on the craze among women for beautifying themselves. What It was all about nobody in the audience was able to determine last night and nobody cared after the performance had progressed for ten minutes. Nothing mattered at all If one managed to live through the opening passages of the piece which were the most wonderful examples of driveling idiocy ever exhibited in public. The show was In two acts; the first took place at a seaside hotel and the second in the emporium of the "beauty doctor." The first setting was pretty and in the second act a number of beautiful new lighting effects were shown, these features winning some deserved applause. There is a little to be säld In regard to the cast of principals. Delia Stacey, in the leading feminine' role the "beauty doctor" performed her inane part as well as the thing could be done and sang her songs in a forced, unnatural voice.. Daisy King, on the contrary, rendered her songs well and acted her part in amateurish fashion. Lillian Rhodes looked very pretty and that was about all she had to do while Hope Gage, in the role of a vulgar old spinster, made herself thoroughly objectionable to every character in the piece, as well as to most people in the audience. The Cardowlne Sisters, two excellent dancers, did more than their share toward brightening up the musical numbers and terpsichorean portion, while Mollie Egbert made a hit in a club-swinging ensemble number during the second act. Among the men in the company, Percy Walling stood out prominently by reason of a rich baritone voice, but his self-consciousness spoiled half the effect of his songs. Will Philbrlck had little to do, but his comic song was well liked and his eccentric dancing was appreciated. James Manley was anything but gay in the part of a "gay old boy;" Harry Walters portrayed a Hebrew In the style that has become popular In the burlesque houses and Harry Simon Stanley played the part of a comic Dutchman In a way that would have brought tears to the eyes of Louis Mann or any of th comedians whom he was striving to imitate. Such operatic comedies as "The Beauty Doctor" and "The Sleepy King" will not do. The theatcr-goinsr public will turn some day, like the proverbial worm, and raise a strong voice of protest.

Gentlemen: Some two years ago I was so run down that I lacked strength, had no appetite and could not sleep nights. Sometimes It seemed as though my back would break in two after stooping.

audience present last night Fortunately the enaggement was for but one performance. Good Vaudeville at the Grand. With the best short play ever given in a vaudeville theater, and a number of specialties that are far above the average, the programme at the Grand this week is indeed a most praiseworthy one and may be commended to amusement seekers who wish to enjoy an afternoon or evening of diversified entertainment. 'The play given by Robert Hllllard and his little cupporting company is the most artistic drama in miniature that could well be imagined. It is called ."No. 973," and It tells the story of a hardened ex-convict and a sweet little child. In theme It Is not unlike Mr. HUUard's earlier success, "Editha's Burglar." but it is better in construction and Is really superbly acted. The ex-convlct, upon being released from prison, is unable to obtain work and in a desperate moment he decides to rob a house. It chances that the house that he selects to burglarize Is the home of a prominent criminal lawyer the man who acted as prosecuting attorney when he (the burglar) was placed on trial ten years before. The lawyer surprises the thief when the latter is about to get away with a roll of bills which he has found in a writing desk and holding the wrong-doer at bay with a revolver the owner of the house telephones to the police station, arranging to have the house surrounded by officers of the law. While waiting for bluecoats to arrive the lawyer and his prisoner engage in conversation. The criminal tells a pitiful story of his life in prison and begs his captor not to send him back to the terrible place. But the lawyer refuses to become sympathetic and when the police whistles blow, out in the night, he goes to the front door to admit the officers. The lawyer's little daughter a wee bit of a child steals down stairs from her bedroom, to find her missing doll and, coming face to face with the burglar, recognizes him as the man who had saved her a few days before from being run over by a horse. She offers to give him her savings bank and the convict, overcome with emotion at the child's kindness, places his coat about her to protect her from the cold night air. While the burglar and the Innocent little girl are talking together the father of the child returns to the room. lie overhears their conversaUon; his heart is touched at 'last and he refuses to give the thief up to the police, telling the officers that a mistake has been made and that the strange visitor Is a friend of his. Tha story may ' lack plausibility in the telling here, but when acted by Mr. Hllllard and his associate players it all seems logical enough, and Is so impressive that at the opening performances of the Grand's new bill yesterday the audiences were in tears as the curtain fell on the dainty little play. Mr. Hllllard, as the ex-convlct, doea an excellent piece of acting. Edwin Holland Is good In the character of the lawyer and little June Pelton is wonderfully natural as the child. "Number 973" is sure to attract unusual attention during the week. It is too good to miss. The leading specialty of the programme Is contributed by Max Waldon, an Impersonator and "transformation artist" from Germany, whose act is a marvel of its kind. Herr Waldon's impersonations are all of women, but his work la so thoroughly artistic in every detail that no offense is given. His voice Is remarkably feminine In quality and his German, Spanish, French and English songs are all splendidly rendered. He wears some gorgeous costumes and his make-up is perfect In every portraiture. His act is indeed one that must be seen to be appreciated. The three Westons Sam Weston and his two clever daughters furnish an admirable musical act. The violin playing or the younger Weston girl is about the best to be heard in vaudeville. She rendered some of the difficult music from "Faust" and a gypsy dance of Sarasate with excellent effect yesterday. The entire act is deserving ofpraise. Harry Thompson, a monologulst new to Indianapolis, proves to be an entertainer of considerable talent, being able to keep his audience in continuous laughter during his twenty minutes on the stage. His Imitations of Germans and Hebrews are particularly good. Vernon is a ventriloquist of more than usual ability, and as his act is the first venttilopulal specialty to be seen at the Grand this season, it is Quite a welcome novelty. He Introduces pome new features in his work that are very amusing. Mr. and Mrs. Watrous, great favorites with local vaudeville audiences, repeat their success of former visits with their solos and duets. Mrs. Watrous won applause at yesterday's performances with her rendition of the negro ditty, "Sammy, Mind Yo Mammy," written and composed for her by Mrs. W.- W. Carter, of this city. Anna Caldwell, a singer And "conversationalist," with an engaging personality, produces a favorable Impression with some songs and stories, most of them new, ari the Brownings give a specialty of the nonsensical sort, which, If it tires some pepple. ap

Frank and Jesse James, the characters in the story of the "James Boys in Missouri," which opened a half-week's engagement at the Park yesterday afternoon, are Just as clever in spoiling the attempts and outrages of a gang of highway robbers in the story as the real James boys were In carrying out a well-laid plot to rob an express car In years gone by. Every small boy, man and woman in the theater yesterday no doubt is familiar with the history of the daring James boys, who terrorized the Western country only a few years ago. The spectators had hard work picturing the holp-up men In the roles of heroes, but as the story goes the James boys had reformed and were determined to break up lawlessness In Missouri carried on by a gang headed by Jack Bentley and Bob Ford. Then, according to the story, it was necessary for them to be heroes, as one of them loved Jennie Summers. While the play was being portrayed yesterday afternoon a trial was in progress in Missouri against the owners of the production for $73,000 damages. The original Frank James pome time ago sued the. proprietors of the show for that amount for using his name, that of his brother Jesse, who Is now dead, add also the name of Dr. Samuels, the stepfather of the James brothers. In the story of the play. The fact of the suit being on trial, however, did not prevent those in the cast from using their best efforts to make the play exciting. The story of the play opens in the camp of Jack Bentley, and in a quarrel over a game of cards the James brothers come out victorious. In the second act Bentley and Ford try to rob Dr. Samuels of his money, and when the old man refus.es to tell the hiding place of his wealth Bentley and his gang string him up to a tree and set fire to the house, believing that Jennie Summers would perish in the flames. But the James brothers arrive Just in time to cut the rope and rescue the girl from the house. The most thrilling climax of the play Is at the end of the third act, when Bentley and his gang hold up a train, and Just as they start to rob the express strong box the James boys appear. There is such a battle that the spectators could not see through the dense smoke how many of the desperadoes fell to the ground. Everything turns out well in the last act, excepting that Jesse dies, but the Bentley crowd is brought to Justice. The play is well staged and well acted. Burlesque- at the Empire. Scrlbners Morning Glories Company, which opened at the Empire yesterday afternoon, presents a programme above the average for burlesque productions. There are no particularly bright and shining stars In the aggregation, but the company balances well and apparently "made good" with the usual critical Monday afternoon audience. The opening burlesque, "After Business Hours," gives Harry Hastings, Max Reynolds and Chas. B. Watson an opportunity at fun-making, of which they take advantage. The chorus is well costumed and the songs are new, but the girls are not equally well drilled. The closing burlesque, "A Jay Circus," Is a llttje out of the line of the usual travesty and Its comedy features are unusually good. Rose Jeanette, the ringing soubrette. who opens the olio, attempts to catch on with the gallery, and is not exceptionally successful with the somewhat antiquated dodge. Scott and Wilson, acrobats, are excellent, combining as they do claver tumbling stunts and some real comedy. Cooper and Devere are clever dancers and that Is all they pretend to be. Reynolds and Watson contrive to get considerable fun out of a sketch, "Selling a Typewriter," and the Mario and Dunham Trio offered an exceptionally good turn on the horizontal bar and trapeze. Viola Sheldon closes the olio with illustrated songs, followed by a series of moving pictures. Mansfield Opens Jfew Theater. NEW YORK. Oct. 12. The new Lyric Theater, on Forty-second street, between Broadway and Seventh avenue, which is controlled by Sam S. and Lee Shubert, was opened to the public to-night by Richard Mansfleld In the German play, "Old Heidelberg." The theater is one of the most artistic in New York. The architectural construction is such that every seat is comfortable and affords a good view of the stage. The decorations, which are very elaborate, are in old rose and green. The theater extends through from Forty-second to Forty-third street, thus giving double exits, which permits of the emptying of the theater with greater facility than any other in New York. The play was another triumph of Mr. Mansfield's stage productive ability, and was characterized by the extraordinary beauty of detail that marks all of his stage

The role in which Mr. Mansfleld appeared was another exhibition of his rrtat versatility, the part being that of a youth, which he played with the greatest fidelity to life. The reproduction of student life at Heidelberg was exact in every detail, and the merry frolicking of the students and the singing of the university songs made the. most attractive act of the five that constitute the play. The supporting company was excellent in every particular. The reproduction of Dr. Jutner by A. G. Andrews, and that of Lutz, valet, by Leslie Kenyon, merited special praise, while Miss Graco unison, who played the role of Katie, the barmaid, left nothing to be desired. The story of "Old Heidelberg" is that of the heir apparent to a throne brought up la the strictest seclusion until he goes to the university to complete his education. At that institution he falls in with the demlsplrlt of his surroundings, but in the midst of his enjoyment he Is called away to become a ruler of a kingdom. Locglcg tor the freedom of his student days, he returns to Heidelberg, only to find the old pleasure) lost because his old companions there insist upon treating him with the deference dua to his rank.

Favorable comments were heard from those who attended tho three hourly performances given, atd tho Unique is likely to become a fixture In this city. Ashton and Earl. Irish comedians, opened the programme and scored a success. Jaclc Raymond In a club swinging and hoop rolling act, was next, and his specialty won applause. Grace Morrison, a winsome little soubrette, followed, and her act proved a hit from beginning to end. Miss Morrison has ä voice of much purity and range, and her dancing is good. Willis and Larklns, black-face einging and dancing comedians, were fourth on the bill, and created a good deal of amusement. An unavoidable accident to the picture machine was the caupe of the moving views not being given in the last performance of the evening, but the break was repaired in ample time for the two later shows, and the pictures shown equaled those seen in the larger vaudeville houses. The Unique lUelf Is a cozy little Elace and one can spend a very enjoyable our there. "Lady nose's Daughter.
