The readvent of the society drama, "The Greatest Thing in the World," at English's yesterday afternoon and evening, with Rose C-jghlan in the role made famous by Mrs. Lo Moyne, was a warmly welcomed event ard there was no sign of a falling off in popular interest, despite the fact that the play is now in its fourth season. There were large audiences present at both performances, and. although there is almost no dramatic action in the piece, the close attention of the spectators at the two presentations was held from first to last. The play is entirely conversational and unless interpreted by a competent company could not prove successful. The present company, while weak in spots, was satisfactory on the whole. It is scarcely needful at this Ume to dwell at length upon the play itself, as the story it has to tell is familiar to most theatergoers. It is a welltold story of a mother's love for her two sons and her self-sacrifice for the sake of the elder of them a morally weak young fellow, who all but ruins her life as well as his own. A wholesome play it is. calling for pretty sentiment, maternal devotion, some rather long-drawn-out dialogue and only one dramatic climax. Miss Coghlan does not follow in the footsteps of her predecessor, Mrs. Le Moyne, but portrays the role of Virginia Bryant according to her own ideas. And it may be said at once that Miss Coghlan's interpretation proved in every way a very artistic one. fcr though her methods differ from those of the other actress, they are none the less convincing. She has made a careful study of the character which she assumes and at yesterday's performances displayed her best powers, her acting being of a high order of merit intelligent, refined and always impressive. When the climax of her erring son's misdoings was reached, and the fond mother was compelled to hide the boy's degradation with a woman's skill, the actress rose to a fine dramatic height and wen sincere applause from her audience. Hr facial expression, with its suggestion of repressed emotion, was the work of a true artist. This Is a scene that would be overacted nine times out of ten, but Miss Coghlan never for a moment resorted to familiar theatrical expedients. Next to the performance of the star, the best work of the company was done by Sidney Irving in the disagreeable part of the scapegrace son, Cecil. The character is one that most actors would hesitate to undertake. It repels sympathy and what Is worse, from the player's standpoint affords very little opportunity for effective acting. And yet Mr. Irving played it wellbetter han most actors could have played It. He made the role seem natural and showed much discretion in the reading of the lines. Fred C. House. a& the younger son. Harold, went In too much for farcical playing. The character was apparently intended by the author to furnish most of the amusement of the piece, but hardly intended to be interpreted as such a brainless Cmgster as Mr. House insisted upon makout of him. Walker M. Dennett was somewhat stiff, but otherwise acceptable, in the role of Oeoffry Townsend. while Louis Shea was unnecessarily melodramatic as David McFarland. Margaret Dills gave a fairly good Erformance of the part of Helen McFarnd. Paula Glov made the moat of the Ingenue role of Madge and all of the minor characters were in competent hands The play was well mounted and the stage management excellent. "Across the Paciflc" at Park. Big audiencea yeaterday afternoon and night yelled with hysterical delight over the stirring scenes and incidents portrayed In H. C. Blaney's "Across the Pacitic." which is on for a three days' run at the Park Theater. Blaney and his pretty little wife, Kitty Wolf, have important parts in the piece, and do some good specialties. Tears ago Bianey made a big hit with Elmer Vance's "Limited Mail." and he is Just ma clever aa he uaed to be. "Across the Pacific" might properly be called a military drama, aa it furnishes a battle scene In which eleven hundred shota are fired, the most of them from a real Gattung gun. operated by men who have had genuine military experience. Notwithstanding that shot and shell rain furiously, only two pople are killed, and these are ths two vallalns. who are destroyed In the laat act. and it ia need leas to say that their taking off haa the approval of all the honest people in the audience. This drama deals principally with th fortunes of Willie Live, a San Francisco newspaper correc pondent. and Elsie Kseott, an eighteen-ear-old girl, in the Philippines. Miss

Augusta Gill has the latter part, and shows come skillful work in disguising herself as a boy and enlisting for service in the regular army. The part of the newspaper correspondent is taken by Blaney. There are some realistic scenic effects that pleased the audience last night. A government transport, the City of Peking, is a scenic feature. Troops embark on the transport, and it sails out of the San Francisco harbor mid the music of a rough rider band on bourd and the cheers of the audience. The heroine of the play dons a soldier's uniform in order to be near the man she loves. In the Philippines General Lawton's headquarters is shown, and that brave officer is cleverly impersonated by Edward Buchanan. There is a block house fight In which the heroine brings reinforcements to the man she loves and enables him to defeat the enemy. The first intimation he has that his rescuer is his sweetheart Is when, after the enemy has been put to rout and the day is saved, she rushes into his arms and becomes a woman again. There is a wronged woman in the piece, Frances Desmonde, who does the part of Nell Hazleton. She has some l' tty gowns which she knows how to wear. In order to get even with the man who betrayed her she does many good deeds for others, and when she is avenged she becomes a Red Cross nurse. In the second act there is a Chinese restaurant scene that is well put on. and in it are some good specialties by Chinese, Johnny Williams and others.

r Theatrical Xotes. Mary Mannering's engagement, which opens at English's this evening, is the one really important dramatic event of the week in Indianapolis. The new comedy by Clyde Fitch, "The Stubbornness oi Geraldine," in which Miss Mannering will be seen, is said to be another very clever piece of theatrical writing by America's prolific young playwright. In New York this play was considered the best of all Fitch's comedies, being better liked than "The Girl with the Green Eyes," in which Clara Bloodgood scored such a personal success and in which she was recently seen in this city. "The Stubbornness of Geraldine" is produced on a very elaborate manner. The picture of life on shipboard in the first act proved to be the season's greatest hit in a scenic way in New York last year on account of its amusing and original realism, while the scenes of a drawing room bridge whist party and the conservatory of Geraldine's home during a ball are said to be of exceptionally beauty and richness. It is understood that Miss Mannering's part is the best she has ever had, affording her much better opportunities than any of her previous roles. Local t h ater-goers who have seen this charming youpg actress in "Trelawney of the U niis," "Janeth Meredith" and other wellknown plays will be desirous of witnessing her performance of the stubborn Gcraldine. Manager Frank McKes has surrounded the star with a capable company that includes such prominent players as Ann Archer, Isabel Waldron. Kate Lester, Carolyn James, John Craig, Louis Massen, J. Hassard Short and David Proctor. xxx Indianapolis will have its first view of Hall Caine's much-discussed drama, "The Eternal City," a week from to-morrow, when the play will come to English's for matinee and evening performances. The production, which is the original one made by Liebler & Co.. is said to be magnificent, and the company, with the exception of Viola Allen, is almost identically the same as that of last season. Sarah Truax, a fine emotional actress. Is playlug Miss Allen's old part of Donna Roman. Edward J. Morgan, one of the best young actors ou the American stage, continues to appear as David Rossi; Frederick De Bellville is $till the Faron BonelU and Frauk C. Bangs, oue of the beloved veterans of the dramatic profession in this country, is scoring the success of his life, it is said, in the role of His Holiness the Pope. The cast looks to be very strong. xxx The Grand has had a good vaudeville bill this week, but next week's bill promises to be the very best of the entire season. The Orpheum Road Show will be the attraction, and this combination has long been looked jpon as the strongest vaudeville organization traveling. Here is the roster oi performers with the show: McIntyre and Heath, the most popular of all black-face comedians; the Melano Trio, famous Parisian musicians; Elizabeth Murray, considered the best of all singers of negro songs; Victor Moore and Emma Littk field, two of the brightest farceurs on the vaudeville stage; Reynard, the famous ventriloquist; Alburtus and Millar, the clever club Jugglers, and Professor Merian, who has some of the most remarkable trained dogs that ever performed behind the footlights. xxx Last night was "amateur night" at the Unique Theater and a number of local performers endeavored to show what they could do behind the footlights. Willis, Jone and Miller, three youngsters of some talent, gave a sketch which included several imitations; Albert Butterfield came on the stage in an appalling make-up and gave what he called "chicken imitations;" the Powell Sisters gave a song and dance; Isabel Oliver sang some ballads; Arthur Williams was seen in contortion work and Carl Yeaman played on musical instruments. A large crowd was present and the show seemed to be much enjoyed. xxx Harry Beresford, a star comedian new to this city, will be at English's next Tuesday and Wednesday nights, with a Wednesday matinee, in J. M. Barrle's delightful comedy, "The Professor's Love Story," a play made famous by the English actor, E. a. Willard. This is one or Barrie's earlier plays, and one of his best. It is said that i yir. rseresioru is uumiinuiy suueu 10 tne part of the learned doctor of science, who tails so deeply In love and doesn't know what ails him. xxx The first presentation of the new historical play, "The Triumph of an Em;ress," with Mildred Holland as the star, will take place Christmas day at Bridgeport, Conn. The production is to be made by Manager Edward C. White on a very elaborate scale. The character of Peter III of Russia is to be portrayed by that excelleut actor, James Wilsou and other prominent players iu the cast will be Hugo Toland and John T. Sullivan. xxx Angel Guimera, the Spanish dramatist who wrote "Martha of the Lowlands," which Mr. and Mrs. Fiske are producing on an elaborate scale in this country, is immensely pleased over the result of the first production of one of his works in America. He had labored under the impression that Americans would refuse to become interested in a Spanish play and the success of the piece has proved a surprise to him. xxx The Empire Is enjoying prosperity this week with the Brigadiers Burlesque Company, an organization that ia far better than the average company of its class. Next week the Empire will have as its attraction another well-known burlesque show Bob Manchester's "Cracker Jacks," with Bob Van Osten, a really funny low comedian, as the principal funmaker. W. S. CARTER HONORED. Elected Secretary-Treasurer of Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen. W. S.

"Yes, honey," said the portly colored lady, "I'm a cook, I am. I learned to cook in old Kentucky. I can take good materials .rtd I can make 'em into the best victuals you ever tasted. And if I can't get good materials I can take poor ones and make thern into victuals that taste good. "Do you wont to know how to make good coffee, honey? Make it with cold water. When I go somewhere to cook a big dinner for a large company I grind my coffee and put it In the coffee boiler and fill the boiler with cold water, in the morning. Then I let it stand all day. A little while before dinner I set it on the fire and let it get boiling hot. I watch it while it bubbles up under my eye just three times. Then I set it cff. And that is coffee as is coffee." Language and Clothea. Among the entertaining dialects of this progressive day the language used in description of tho gowns and hats worn by metropolitan society constitutes an amusing and amazing chapter. From a New York newspaper of good literary standing the following choice costume extracts are presented in illustration: Miss Polly Vances's sleeves had let-out tu' k and puffs, and her bodice pouched lovely. At the back of the neck Miss Gladys Jones's jacket dipped; it was trimmed with run-in velvet ribbon. Mrs. Went worth Smith's bodice was a full, blousing one of blue silk; the sleeves Vtrf puffed, and had projecting over edges. Around the edge of Mrs. Sylvester Docker's skirt ran an applied flounce; above this ran bands of velvet, and above these velvet ribbon ran to the girdle. A lang black plume ran around her hat. Mrs. Stuyvesant Brown's gown was clinging, and her bodice did not blouse. The placket opening in the back was stitched in white, twice on each side. A rope-like chenille boa and a toque of black topped the costume. Miss Eugenia Lee Simpson's exquisite white skirt flowed out beautifully from under the spangled trimming. A picket-fence arrangement of black bands ran half way up the back. The sleeves were full Bishop affairs; and her hat was loaded with chiffon and incrustations of violets. Mrs. Clarence Patchington was frocked in black and white satin. The skirt was one of the clinging, sweeping affairs; the corsage was round and only a bit low. An eight-inch sword, aflash with diamonds, was thrust through her lace front. Miss Eleanor Peacock's bodice was a blousing one of deep red. Her flare hat was of deep red, and her broadcloth long coat had flare sleeves. Ladder trimming and accordion plaits ran around the skirt, which touched. Menu for a Day.

The Faahion in Hair. New York Sun. N The fact that hair dye is used more than ever is emphasized by the announcement that dark hair is discounting entirely the blond in fashionable favor. "The woman with brown hair," said a French woman, "is making it darker, almost black, and she of the copper colored and auburn locks is dyeing them a deep mahogany tint, which, according to a high authority, will be the most fashionable tint. In Paris and New York, this winter. "If cleverly done the mahogany shade is very effective, and the secret of Its production is not given away by the hair dealers. "No one thinks of using bleaches and yellow dyes just now. For tiie present that fashion is quite dead. Where dye is used at all It is always a darker rather than a lighter color that is chosen. Black hair is very fashionable. "Comparatively young women, whose hair is beginning to show a few streaks of gray, are among our best customers, and they are many, for It is quite wonderful how soon New York women do begin to get gray. We huve plenty, though, who from time to time change the color of their hair just by way of variety. And they don't seem to care a rap who knows it, either. "To get the best results hair dye should be applied, the first time at least, by a professional, and the more difficult shades, like mahogany and copper, need the most careful handling always. Some New York women go to the dyer or have her come to them regularly once a month, only the delicate process called touching up being done between times by their own maid." "Harmful?"' echoed a seller of dyes. "Not the best varieties. On the contrary, they act upon the hair as a tonic." To Reduce Fleah. Philadelphia Telegraph.

Mrs. William B. Leeds, the wife of the financier, is to be one of this winter's hostesses. She has already made many friends at Saratoga, where she and Mr. Leeds were this summer. Mrs. Leeds is petite, with very delicate features. She dresses remark ably well, prefers tints rather than colors, . and is an extremely dainty ngure in organdie or any light fabrics. Mrs. Leeds, who is a Western woman, lives at 987 Fifth avenue. At Saratoga she was a great deal with what is known as the Hempstead hunting set. and among her friends are Mrs. Sydney Smith, Mrs. Miller and Mrs. Oliver H. P. Belmont. Han Improved. New York Times. Miss Alice Roosevelt has improved very much in style within the past year.

Bnrlmnk, Once a Well-to-Do Californian, Appeals to Desk Ser-eeant-A Pathetic Story. "I am Colonel Burbank, of the First California Cavalry," said an old soldier, as he walked into the police station yesterday afternoon and extended his one remaining arm his right one was missing to Sergeant Crane. "I want a place to lay my head for the night." In that way an old soldier, bearing the scars of many battles, was forced to seek shelter from the piercing cold of Thanksgiving evening and big tears came into his eyes as he told the story of his misfortunes. He said that he lives iu California and had been in business there until a few vars ago, when he met with financial reverses that forced him to seek shelter in a soldiers' home. His son, he said, a well-to-do man, was at one time mayor of Sacramento, but family differences caused a separation of father and son which barred him from asking aid of his own people. A year ago he came to Indiana to visit a relative and instead of returning to his native State he took refuge in the Soldiers' Home at Marion. He came to Indianapolis several days a so to make some purchases and to look up some old army comrades whom he heard were living in this city. He spent all of his money or lost it and failed to locate his friends. "On Thanksgiving night," he said, "I am forced to do something which I have never done before, ask for alms.". Sergeant Crane called a blcycleman and found the aged soldier quarter for the night. KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS THE MAYORS OP TWO IMPORTANT INDIANA CITIES INITIATED.

A D. Yards. Hamilton Price, 1806 McCormlck street, was arrested last night for stealing a small handful of coal from a car in the yards of the C, H. & D. Railroad. He was forced to steal the coal to keep his family from suffering, he said. He told a tale of misfortune to justify his act, and his misery at being locked up on a charge of petit larceny was affecting. Until three months ago he was a brakeman on the C, H. & D. Railroad, but he was stricken with typhoid fever and his few earnings were eaten up before he recovered from his illness. When he was again able to resume his duties on the railroad he found that his position had been rilled and he was unable for several days to find employment. Some time ago he went to work for Kingan & Co., but his earnings were small and his family large, and his income was insufficient to provide for the necessities of his home. Last week he was compelled, on account of sickness, to stop working, and the few pennies he had managed to save fast disappeared. Yesterday, Thanksgiving, his family went hungry and he was compelled to steal a little coal in order to warm up his humble home. He was caught in the act by a railroad policeman, who. in spite of his pleas, dragged him to the police station and caused his detainment under a charge of petit larceny. The man's family, it is said, is in destitute circumstances and the Charity Organization will be asked to-day to provide for them. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.
