The delightful Pickwlckians came back to Indianapolis last night for their second engagement at English's and a large audience received them most heartily, the frequency and vigor of the plaudits demonstrating that the New Year's assembly was most enjoyably entertained. The musical "Mr. Pickwick" of the Klein Brothers and Grant Steward may be a somewhat distant relative of Charles Dickens's "Pickwick." but there is a strong enough family resemblance to make him a highly amusing gentleman, and as portrayed by thut excellent comedian. De Wolf Hopper, he is a character with whom It pays to become intimately acquainted. Charles Klein, who made the stage adaptation, was wis-j enough to refrain from attempting to dramatise the "Pickwick Papers." Instead, he utilized some of the best incidents as a foundation for his play and devoted himself chiefly to making the characters and atmosphere as nearly like Dickens's original as possible. He succeeded admirably in his undertaking and Grant Steward wrote some splendid lyrics. Manuel Klein, the composer, who, by the way, was recently in this city as the musical director of E. H. Sothern'ss "The Proud Prince," fashioned his portion of the work upon better musical lines than has been in evidence in most of the modern musical comedies. Eve renumber Is bright and tuneful and possesses musical strength and beauty. "Mr. Pickwick-' is, indeed, one of the cleanest, sanest and most meritorious musical plays ever seen in Indianapolis and is an entertainment that can hardly fail to prove attractive to theater-goers generally. 4In the first act, which takes place at Dingley Dell Arms, Mr. Pickwick gives his attention to the laudable project of preventing the elopemant of Arabella and Alfred Jingle. In his amiable meddling, he gets himself in bad favor with Jingle, Sam Weller, Tony Weller, Mr. Wardle. Winkle, ßnodgrass and several other familiar personages of the book who appear in the play. And to cap the climax of his misfortunes, Mrs. Hardell appears with the announcement that she has instructed her attorneys to bring suit against Mr. Pickwick for breach of promise. In this emergency, the unhappy man takes a drop too much to steady his nerves, and as the curtain falls, he loans penitently on the horse trough while the faithful Sam Weiler pumps welcome cold water on hi:i hairless cranium. The scene of the second act ir- the manor farm of Mr. Wardle. Mr. Pickwick and friends here enjov the celebrated hunt and the historic picnic. There are, of course, more laughable complications for the rotund clubman and, quite untlntentionally, he makes trouble for everybody with whom he comes in contact. But at last the various love affairs straighten themselves out. despite Mr. Pickwick's interference. Alfred Jungle agrees to marry Mrs. Bardell; Sam Weiler and Polly make up their quarrels and the pretty Arabella gives her dimpled hand to the estimable Mr. Winkle, Esq. The stage pictures throughout the entire performance are delicious to the Dickens reader. The costumes are quaint, gay of color, true to the period, and faithful to the famous old illustrations of Cruikshauk. And, too. the stage director has contrived groupings that display these costunn I charmingly. Among the best of the concerted musical numbers and all of them are good are "Boys Will Be Boys," a splendid trio with a catchy waltz refrain; the solo and chorus, "Pickwicks Horse Brigade." and the quartet. "The Lay of the Merry Ha, Ha." 4- 4Although not always Pickwickian. De Wolfe Hopper's impersonation is very amusing. In appearance the comedian could not possibly make himself resemble the familiar character, but iu manner and method he makes up a great deal for his physical unlikeness. He is delightfully humorous in his broad, infectious style, and although still suffering from the severe cold which caused him to take to his bed during his Milwaukee engagement the first half of the week, he managed to sing his allotment of the score last night In something like his old-time melodious fashion, and brought out every comical situution with tine effect. He was applauded repeatedly, and at the end of the first act made one of his impromptu speeches, which was one of t he tost things of the ev mag. Hopper has ulwas b.en a good speech-maker, aud his little talk. In which he explained his recent trouble with his bronchial tubes, was worded in a way that was genuinely funny. The honors of the evening, aside from Mr. Hopper's share, w. re divided between Digby Bell as Sam Weiler and Marguerite Clark as Polly. Mr. Bell has not a great deal to do. but he acts the part of Samivel to the life. As for little Miss Clark, aba is. without exception, the daintiest. BSWttlesI and most graceful soubrette on the American stage at the present time. She sings well, dances well and nets as few oth r soubreties can act. She improves with each new season and her bright, spirited performance of last night won the hearts of her audience. Louis Payne looked exactly like the pictures of Jingle, and the same may be, said of Frank H. Belcher as Ton;. Weller. while both realized tin iccepted notions of these characters. George Chapman was only a fairly good W inkle and the other male charact.-rs were adequately played. I lorine Murray, a new member of the cast, sang and acted the part of Arabella splendidly. Laura Joyce Bell s;;e an excellent characterization of Mrs. Imrd-11 and Vlvia Ogden was funny In the mall part of Miss Wardle. The chorus gave evidence of careful training and all of the ensemble numlh rs were well rendered. An unusual feature of th - evening was the violin playing between the acts of Jacques Klnsbergen. the Mrst violin of the orchestra which travels with the company. His two solos Ba re very enjoyable, und were accompanied on the piano In sympathetic style by J. K. Adatns. the mu.-i al director of the organization. Thero will be no matinee of "Mr. Pkk-

The Winsome Little Soubrette of "Mr. Pickw'ck" at English's. wick" this afternoon, as originally planned, as Mr. Hopper does not care to risk using his voice too often at the present time for fear of further trouble with his throat. The final performance of the engagement here will be given to-night. Theatrical Notes. When the news of the death of Jerome Sykes was received at English's the other i day the stage hands of the theater, after expressing their sorrow at the loss of an old ! friend for the comedian was popular with the men who work among the painted can vasesexchanged stories of stage life in which the late funmaker played an important part. "I remember two funny things that happened on the stage at English's when the comic opera, 'The Highwayman.' played here several years ago," said John Tull, the stage manager. "Jerome Sykes was making a great hit in the comedy part of Foxey Quiller, you know. In one scene, while sitting on top of the stagecoach used in the piece, he would throw a lasso around the neck of a little comedian with the show in an endeavor to capture him. At a matinee performance he had just thrown the lasso over the other performer's neck when the top of the coach gave in and Sykes tumbled into the vehicle. He still kept hold of his end of the rope, and, as he was a man of great strength, the little chap on the other end of it was left dangling in the air and would have been hanged If he had not had the presence of mind to grip the noose in time to keep it from tightening about his neck. Eater on in the opera Sykes appeared on the stage seated on a big white horse. His part called for him to bring the animal to a standstill in the center of the stage, slap it on the neck cheerily and exclaim: 'Well, here we are. old boy. and wa've left the stagecoach stuck in the mud many miles away!' On this particular occasion he had no sooner got the lines out of his mouth when in dahed the team of horses drawing the coach after them. They had managed to break away from the hands of the colored man who had been holding thm in the wings. To make matters worse, the negro danced out on the stage after them, clad in nothing but a pair of dirty trousers and a red undershirt." 4- 4- 4Harry Houdini. the young American magician who is known as the "Handcuff King," and who is proving a most sensational "head-liner" in the London vaudeville houses at present, met with a new experience the other night in a music hall at Halifax, England. During his act he invited any one in the house to come on the stage and tie his hands together with ropes or to handcuff him. A young man responded and made a very elaborate tie that took six minutes to complete. Houdini released himself, as usual, in the twinkling of an eyelash, and was about to proceed with his performance when the young man demanded another chance to tie his hands. As the man from the audience had claimed to be a simple working lad, and was made up to look the part, there was tremendous excitement in the theater when one of the spectators stood up aud identified him as the man who had recently written a series of articles "exposing" the handcuff tricks in the Strand magazine. This announcement roused the American performer, and he made a speech offering 500 to the poor if he failed to handcuff the other man in such a way that he could not free himself. The man refused to be handcuffed and had to retire from the stage, leaving all of the glory to the American. '. A new production of New York within the next three months will be "The Shepherd King." with Wright Lorimer in the leading role. The play promises to be something of a novelty. While founded on the early life of the David of the Scriptures, it is not a religious drama, but a romantic play, pure and simple, it is said. Mr. Lorimer conceived the idea of the play several years ago and after he had completed the scenario he collaborated with Arnold Reeves In the writing of the piece. Although this will be Lorimer's flrat appearance as a star, he has served a long and faithful apprenticeship with many excellent stock companies. At one time he appeared In this city with the Grand stock organization. E. Laurence Lee, who. in the character of a counterfeiter, heads the masculine forces of "To Die at Dawn," which closes at the Park to-night, is one of the few actors in melodrama who not only writes his own plays, but includes in them a part for himself. He is the authdr of "To Die at Dawn," in which he has exercised his Ingenuity, including an old mill, which is run by real water, and a scene in Mammoth Cave, where the counterfeiters have their rendezvous. He also WTote "A Ruined Life," but what is perhaps his best known melodramatic effort is "The Gambler's Daughter." It is said that as soon as one uf his productions shows the least sign of wear, he has the plot and necessary details at his lingers' end for another play. Leah Russell, the comedienne, who is to entertain the audiences at the Grand next week with an original monologue, is to be one of the new stars of the dramatic stage in the near future. The play which is now being prepared for her will be called "The Belle of the Ghetto." and will be a dramatization of Sydney Laska's novel, "The First Violinist." The story deals with Jewish life, and Miss Russell, being a Jewess, is especially fitted to portray the leading feminine role, which will give her far more opportunities to display her talents than she receives at the present time in h-.-r vaudeville performances. There is only one other actress now before the public appearing in Jewish character parts. XXX A la Uehan and Otis Skinner, whose first joint engagement in this city occurs next Monday night at English's, are being supported in their revival of "The School for Scandal" by a large and excellent ensemble uf players thoroughly experienced In the Interpretation of old English comedy. Walter Hale. Georjfc Clarke, Edwin Varrey, Joseph Weaver, Russell Crawford, Charles B. Welhs. Mabel Howard and Kate Fletcher. th latter an Indianapolis actress, are all well remembered in this city for fine and honorable dramatic effects in the past. Each of these has appeared annually, or oftener, in legitimate productions. 4 The Empire w 11 have the best attraction of its season next week when Harry Morris tills his engagement in "A Night on Broadway.'' This attraction is not a burlesepue in the general acceptance of the term, but i a musical farce filled with amusing situa tions and very bright songs. It proved. to be an unusually excellent show when jkttornnd here lat season at the Empire. Harry Morris, who plays the leading role, adapted the play from the German and made such a hit with It In New York that he had several opportunities to dispose of the English rights of the piece to several iullucntiui managers, but refused to sell.

A Christmas Kitchen Echo. It is becoming more and more apparent that heartfelt sympathy must be put forward for the domestic woes of the unpretending. "Talk about the social struggle, or the foolish efforts people make to keep up appearances with people beyond them in wealth." remarked a lady who prides herself on belonging to the middle classes, "such sustained exertion Is really nothing to the strain we have to be under. In these days, with the people who work for us. The balance of power seems to have swung over, and plain people will soon have to beg assistance without avail from the haughty, ambitious personages who know how to cook and wash. "Our washerwoman no, she is not a 'laundress,' she is Just a plain up-and-down washerwoman gave me notice yesterday that she could not do our washing any longer, she had too much to do. I suspected the reason for this sudden decrease of devotion so soon after Christmas, and said to her: " 'Maria, didn't you like your Christmas presents?'

Your really up-to-date woman, by the way, has her letter paper stamped with a personal device, and frequently with a motto of her own choosing. Miss Peacock has her feathered namesake In a corner of every sheet of paper; a young descendant of the Cuttses has a tiny broadsword; a Miss Holyoke, a hand holding an oak branch; a Miss Gordon, the Ivy leaf of her clan, and many another woman a monogram in Greek letters. The oddest device I've seen, however, belongs to a young lady who was christened Martha. At the top of her letter paper Is the name Martha, surrounded by a coiled green serpent. From its attitude I should Judge the animal to be a garter snake, and what it means 1 don't know. It may be a symbol of wisdom, or of grace, but doubtless it's merely a matter of taste. A Custom In Brooklyn. New York Times. There has been some comment on the action of Mrs. Maurice A. Adams, of Chicago, who, on the occasion of her daughter's recent wedding, sent out to the different newspapers printed sheets filled in with a short but graphic description of bride and bridegroom, names of attendants, place of ceremony, gowns, etc. This is not at all new, as might have been supposed, in this part of the world. It is an invariable custom in Brooklyn, and one which has gained much popularity in the borough. It is a most sensible arrangement, and it saves much time and trouble. Trials have been frequently made to Introduce it in New Y'ork. but unfortunately, without success, as so many people cling to the old exploded fiction that social news Ik not given to the press, but that it must leak out in some mysterious manner. Orange Marmalade. Table Talk. Drop a number of fine, Juicy seedless oranges Into a bowl of cold water, let stand for half an hour, then scrub gently with a soft bristle brush thoroughly to cleanse them. Wipe and weigh them, and for each pound allow one pint of cold water. With a sharp knife cut the fruit in the thinnest slices, cutting again into quarters or eighths, according to size. As fast as cut, drop into the water, and, when finished, cover and set aside in a cool place for twenty-four hours. Bring quickly to the boiling point (using an agate or porcelainlined kettle), and simmer slowly until the rinds are sufficiently tender to be pierced by a straw. Cool again and set aside for twenty-four hours. Weigh a second time, and to each pound add one pound and a half of granulated sugar. Heat again, and boil slowly but steadily until the fruit rinds are transparent and thick; then bottle and seal. Flower Mission Marts Out Well.

NEW SUMMER DRESS MATER LA LS NO W DISPLA TED IN THE SHOPS

An Unusual Variety of Fabrics and Designs Promise a Season of Attractive Goicuing

Correspondence of the Indianapolis Journal. NEW YORK. Dec. 29 We arc creatures of extremes here In Ootham. To-day the new summer materials are all being shown and we are eagerly buying them while wrapped in fur and talking of the cold! Yet, nevertheless, there is practical value to he found in this seeming Incongruity and there is more method in our madness than at first appears. We have, most of us. finished winter buying. Not a few of our number will leave for the sunny South before many weeks. Thf-se latter will find Immediate need for the thin materials, while the former are glad to employ midwinter months in making rady for summer, so avoiding all rush and worry when the warm, inviting, lazy days shall have come. Again, it is a hit early to be sure of spring styles, but designers are quite ready with those of the summer, all of which goes to show that there is reason in this showing of mulls and of organdiel, of filmy batistes and mousselines, even though snow is filling the air and in spite of the feeling that furs and warm wraps are likely to absorb immediate interest for some time to come. It Is to be a summer of unusual beauty both in fabric and design. As a leading di-aler said to me to-day, each year the number and variety of materials increase until one wonders if there be any limit. Heavy suitings of linen are simply marvelous in their beauty. Thin, filmy nets and mousselines are shown in lovely colors and designs that fairly result in bewilderment, and all the familiar stuffs organdies, mulls, batistes, etamines and dimities have taken on multitudinous new forms until there is a veritable feast of color spread before u. White can be relied upon to hold a permanent place and to be first in the world of shirtwaists, but champagne tints, tans, grays, blues, violets and the always smart black and white will be seen in numbers. In fact, it is to be a season of infinite variety, of all things for all women, of color suited to each, of designs for all styles. The heavier suitings in themselves make a study. Never have so many charming things been set before us at any one time. There are etamines, canvas, crash, each In numberless variety, and a whole host of lovely things under the comprehensive title of novelties. The canvas weaves are many and are really most eloquent. The plaids, which have be n gaining favor the winter through, are found also in stripes and many shot effects, as well aa tn plain colors. The plaids are far from aggressive or overbrllliant, rather quiet and dellciously cool In effect (being shown In steam-heated buildings we are able to appreciate this last even now), and show colors and combinations well suited to the summer time. Black and whites are many and are essentially smart. As a rule, the plaids are rather large and broken, but no law can be laid down, as there are many sorts. Green. In varying shades, with much white and lines of black, make a favorite combination. Violet and blue are treated in the same way, and there are few more pronounced effects that still are a delight. Strips are many and various. Narrow lace, alternating with broader heavy ones, is admirable. BEAUTIFUL NEW DESIGNS. Some of the newest goods are in what might well be called shadow designs, and recall the first of those wonderful effects that sere produced in silk a few years afro. In some instances the design is In color contrast to the background; In others it is simply darker In tone. Soft black and white, grays, brown ard white, tans and the like are favorites and are extremely handsome. The stripes, which are perpendicular, are one plain color, one r the shadowy effect, each the same width, which is two Inches or thereabouts. A lovely one, or one that apiealed to me with peculiar force, is all soft greens and white, the plain stripe of threads which combine the two colors, the figured one of darker effects on this same ground. Polka dots ace many and of many sizes and sorts. They are woven Into the fabric, they are embroidered and they are stamped, but the handsomest by far are those embroidered with heavy thread. One most elegant canvas is black and white, the colors combined in the thread, and shows embroidered polka dots in black and of generous size scattered over it. Another Is woven in much the same way, but includes bigger dots that are half white, half black. A lovely white canvas is cream in tone, with the heavy dots set not 100 far aart, and so th story goes. Ktamines are beautiful and. while not unlike canvas in weave, are lighter In weight and show finer threads. Many plain colors are woven with borders that are genuine studies both in color and in form. Others show shot and flecked effects that provide infinite variety In themselves. Many are mercerised, a process that adds greatly to their beauty, but the plain sorts also are here and will share popular favor. A novelty Is checks, about one Inch in sise, produced by lines of white on blue, violet or other color. Again, the shadowy flowers appear, and some charming results are so obtained. Bo'h large and email designs are shown and a variety of lovely suggested colors that In Itself is fascinating. The crash of former seasons comes to us in glorified form and has taken on new weaves that are a delight. Color is the natural one and white, but threads of varying thickness are so combined as to produce effects never before seen and beautiful in the extreme. For' shirtwaist suits and for jacket suits it Is all that could be desired and combines all the durability of the old-time friend with the beauty of this incoming season. Ginghams and cotton ere pons have taken on such splendor as scarcely to le r. .-.nlzabte. i remain of moderate cost. Novelty gingham

RjBr English Hotel Block. Indiana Dental College Now open for Fall and Winter with a full corps of demonstrators. The fees are to cover the cost only. Corner Delaware and Ohio Sts is the comprehensive name under whlh ths new weaves of that material appear, and amply is It Justified. Many of them are mercerised, and those of the better sort are warranted te retain the finish after laundering, but whether so treated or plain they all are beautiful Color and design both are varied, but the polka dot is much in evidence. In these, as In other materials of the season, the time-honored favorite is treated after a novel fashion and shows sisea ranging from that of a 5-nt piece to a tiny dot on one and the same piece, so giving a most desirable, as well as new design. The cr are charming bot.i in texture and design scarcely suggest cotton evsa to sophisticated eyes. Th-y are lighter in weight than tba linens, but make lovely afternoon and shirtwaist gowns that are durable and smart in one. PRETTY NEW WEAVES. The thinner fabrics are so loveiy and dainty as almost to defy description. Not alone are all the old favorites here in new form. We also have genuinely new weaves, some uf whlek would tempt the veriest recluse to vanity, if vanity It be. Notable are the French nets la i exquisite flowered designs. They are cotton and both white and cream in tone, with scattered flower designs that are a delight. The net is eminently durable, cannot be crushed or rumpled and, withal, makes an Ideal gown for dances for dinners and all occasions of the sort. It Is flowered, sometimes in pink roses of ths lovely tumbling sort, sometimes in yellow rose, sometimes in blue and violet designs that are far from realistic, but under all conditions It Is at tractive. Silk nets and mercerised nets are shown, but none among them Is more beautiful than the cotton nor more durable What wits it, the lovely organdies and the many ne grenadines, evening gowns of exceptional beautr may be expected, while thoee of afternoon wear will be seen in endleae variety. After the nets, tits exquisit crystallines claim attention as being newest, if not moat lovely. There are two sorts, the striped and the crepe. To my mind the latter Is more beau tlful. although the striped Is the more costly. The crepes are truly crystalline in character and have a flecked effect In pale colors that Is lovely in the extreme. The stripes are some per pendicular. some horizontal, and combine color with white, the white stripes being both narrower and heavier. Both fabrics are of silk combined with cotton, as are many of the son's most delicate offerings. Cotton are varied, so much so as to becon fusing. Also there are many that with silk, so that the entire list is almost formidable. Black and white or white and black effects are many. A harming example Is found in combined thin and hravy white stripes, respectively an eighth and a sixteenth of aa Ines, in width, the heavier ones being enriched by French knots in black. This same design occurs In colors, and there are number lees others equally desirable. Stripes, however, appear to predominate in grenadines, as they do in the em broidered Swiss muslins, sit hough no one design can he said to take precedence of another. Tissues ate silk and cotton, delicately fllmr fabrics that are exceedingly leautlful both la white and colors, and are shown in stripes) la all-over designs and plain colors. It would seem as though the beauty and the possibilities of silk with cotton knew no limit. Just as the) mercerizing process has opened a hole world of fresh effects. THE OLD FAVORITES. All the old frkends are here, as well as ths new ones. Mulls are to be much worn and are shown in dainty designs both with and without borders. Am ng them nd for both the lines and dimities Dolly Verden and designs are given great prominence and promts to be much worn. Organdie ar apt to snow bigger designs, such as roses or poppte on a white ground, but there ar some beautiful affects In gray and whit that cannot b overlooked. Also there Is a material, named after the Dolly Varden whom we all know so well, which is silk and cotton, aa filmy as tissu and woven in stripe of on color, alternating a plain surface with a floured to give an altogether desirable result White goods and shirtwaist materials would make a Utter In themselves Later I will tail you both of the new waists and the fabric d which thy are made. At this writing I eaa only hint that mercerised Madras and CktterdS are mor beautiful than ever, and that, la addition to all white, we have sota new and charming stripes that are quite sure to wla. popular approval. One 11 before me thag combines a two-inch stripe small-figured soarceriz i white, with a half-Inch tiny vein f pink and green that I with a thread of biack All the color ar fast, so that laundering becomes a simple matter and the effect Is charmingly dainty, a well as new. Foulards and summer silks dese than Is N-ft me and shall be treated but I am sure you will like to know tans, browns and graj . with the old si sad by. dark blue, are to be much worn and that i -:gns predominate. Curiously lovely results are obtained by a mottled )a. kground of gray and white, with polka dot of oaler approximately a quarter, of an Inch In diameter, together with those of white half the alse Tlax elseoks, ti. ar shown Ith dots of color. whit' polka dots of all sixes, from a to discs thre quartern of an inch in art- scattered apparently at rand grounds of th pr ailing tans. and greens In aodition. we have checks combined Ith lines that form tie shea, so to apeak.
