THE MARION TRUST CO. ox tuf: OIHOLBm PROPERTY LOSS FALLS Equipment of "Mr. Bluebeard," Destroyed in the Iroquois Fire, Was Owned in Drury Lane. BIG FEDERAL INTERESTS CHICAGO. Feb. 4. The United States government has become a party to the complications growing out of the Iroquois fire. A fine question of international law has developed and the discovery has been mado that It is an English company and British fire Insurance interests that will suffer a largs part of the financial loss through the disaster. Instead of the New York firm of Klaw & Krlanger. While adjusters are busy fixing the question of loss on the theater building, local and British Interests are endeavoring to reach a bond in the possession of the United States government as a means of satisfying claims. "Mr. Bluebeard" was not, as generally supposed, an American property. Instead, tbe scenery, costumes and the greater portion of the electrical effects were owned by the Drury Lane Company, of London, Eng. They were leased by Kiaw & Erlanger not purchased. As a consequence, when the spectacular mass of light and color was brought to the United States for temporary use a bond was filed with the government In lieu of payment of duty guaranteeing that the property would be exported to Its owners within I period of six months. It is that bond claimants an- now seeking to reach. At the sam- tirm- representatives of Klaw A Erlanger are engaged with equal lndnstry in an effort to secure a release Of the bond through proof that the property Is now nonexistent. The value of the destroyed scenery, wardrobe and effects Is variously estimated ut from 140.000 to 180.01. As a protection to the government for duties alone, in event of allure to return the plant to the c ountry of its origin, a bond of fl?,0ii was filed. British underwriters Insured the property In part for the Drury Une Company and it is on them and on the Drury Lane Company the property loss will fall. ENGLISH MOM AS GUEST OF CHINESE EMPRESS Highest Officials in Flowery Kingdom Obliged to Kow-Tow to Her. LONDON. Feb. 4.-An English lady.

As bright as ever, and sparkling with the catchy songs, attractive dances an 1 artistic ensembles üstt made it notable when first presented here, "The Tend rfoot" came back to Indianapolis last nlßht for a single performance (this big town continues to be a one-nlghter) and pleased an audience that filled English's from the first row of orchestra chairs to the topmost stats in the gallery. It was the largest audience that has gathered at English's In several weeks and was a thoroughly appreciative crowd. "The Tenderfoot" is entitled to the success It has been meeting on the road. The libretto, by Richard Carle, is amusing and contains many witty lines and excellent lyrics, while the score of H. L. Ileartz is quite the best work this gifted composer of light music his ever done. The piece was reviewed in detail In these columns so recently. Its first engagement being played here Just before the holidays, that there is no occasion at present for going over the same ground. The production seen last night was the same elaborate one presented here before, and the three merry arts w.-r given in the same breezy, enjoyable style. There have been only two changes in the cast since the opera's first engagement in Indianapolis. Hortense Mazurette appeared last night in the prima donna role of Marion Worthington. the Texas heiress the part formerly played by Grace Cameron. Miss Cameron left the company Just before it filled its Boston engagement and Margaret Sayre, who had been her understudy, took up the leading feminine role. Miss Sayre did well in the part, it is understood, but the management decided to give Miss M : i -xurette a chance to show what she could do In the Important role, so that the company would have two prima donnas In its ranks. The latter young woman has had but little stage experience, and, taking this into consideration, it must be said that her performance of last evening was most praiseworthy. Only once in a while did she seem a trifle uneasy in l cting the dramatic scenes, but vocally h.r work was an Improvement upon that of Miss Cameron. Miss Mazurette'a voiee Is in reality a mezzo-soprano, and. although her higher tones were pleasing, it was in the middle and lower registers that her singing was delightful. The other change In the cast was the substitution of Luellle Adams for Ethel JohnSon in the character of the awkward servant girl. Patsy. Miss Johnson has been ill for the last six weeks and little Miss Adams has become quite at home in the part and plays It splendidly, winning many encores In her dance with William Rock, who once more appears In his Impersonation of the lazy Chinaman. Richard Carle has never been seen to such advantage as in this piece. For the first time in many seasons he has a role that Is In every way congenial to him. and which fits him perfectly, and his whole heart is in his work. He repeated last night the hit that he scored when seen here before as Prof. Zachary Pettibone. Edmund Stanley, with his sunny tenor voice or, more correctly, his high baritone wa3 excellent, as before, as Paul Winthrop, and the other leading members of the company Charlie Wayne, Daniel L. Moynes, Edwin Baker, Gwilym Edwards, Henry Norman. Anna Conley and Agnes Paul again showed that the management had used good Judgment in selecting them for their respective roles. The chorus was good to see and pleasant to hear and the stage settings admirable. "The Tenderfoot" will at last go Into New York for a metropolitan hearing two weeks from next Monday night, when it will open an engagement at the New York Theater. "The Yankee Consul" will also open its New York engagement on the same evening. It will be interesting to observe the manner in which New York greets these two Western musical comedy productions, both of which are better than the majority of the so-called Broadway musical shows. Hogged Hero" at the Park. A conventional melodrama of the crude, primitive school is "A Ragged Hero." which opened a half-week's engagement yesterday afternoon at the Park before a large audience, but It is Just the sort of play that makes a strong appeal to the patrons of j the popular-price theaters. There is the usual murder In the first act and the witness to the dastardly deed there Is always a witness of some sort, you know happens to be a balloonist who Is hovering in his aerial invention above the farmyard where all of the trouble is occurring. The aeronaut then proceeds to lo?e euiitrol of his balloon, it seems, and Is carried away to some out-of-the-way spot that nobody ever heard of before. This is quite natural the most natural thing in the play for it is a well-known fact that balloonlsts always do lose control of their balloons. And so It looks as If the sole witness of the murder would never turn up to prove the villain guilty and the hero Innocent for. of course, the hero has been accused of the murder. Heroes always are accused of murders. But In the end the balloonist puts In an appearance, to the delight of the good people In the play and the good people in the audience, and succeeds in righting all wrongs. This balloon feature is not the only novelty in "A Ragged Hero." The scene In the play that wins the greatest outburst of applause Is the one where "Willie," the tramp, leaps into the barnyard swing, and. swaying It to the height of the second-story window of the farmhouse, saves a little girl from being burned to death, the house having been set on fire by the villain, who, by the way. Is Just too bad for words. Herbert E. Denton plays the part of the villain and plays it in so thorough a manner that the interest d spectators detest him most heartily and shower a cyclone of hisses upon him occasionally by way of giving vent to their feelings. Hal Brown appears as the ragged hero and keeps the audience laughing during most of the time that he is on the stage. Julia West Is attractive In an ingenue character, and others who acquit themselves creditably are Albert Shirley. J. Philip Smith. Frank Ball, Gertrud Swiggett. May Gllson. Sarah Baron and llttit Mabel Gilson. The play Is well staged throughout. "A Ragged Hero" will doubtless do a good busin .-.s 'luring the rest of its engagement at the Park. Ht-il Feutlier" To-Mght. The new romantic opera, "Red Feather," with music by Reginald De Kov n. book by Charles Klein and lyrics by C. Emmerson Cook, will have its first Indianapolis hearing this evening when It will be presented by a large comjany, under the management of Florenz Zeigfeld, with Grace Van Studdiford. an Indiana singer, as prima donna. The engagement Is for to-night, to-morrow night and a matinee to-morrow afternoon The opera Is said to be the best work Reginald Do Koven has done since he gave to the musical world "Robin Hood" and "The Fencing Master." The story provided by Mr. Klein Is romantic and is said to be handled in a thoroughly interesting way. The Countess Dragu. Impersonated by Miss Van Studdiford. Is In reality The Red Feath.r." a notorious bandit in the imaginary kingdom of Romancia. A captain of the royal guards of Romancia is in love with the countess and she loves him. but will not confess it. The crown prince of the laod la also in love with the countess and the rivalry between th" young men furnishes most of the i'omedy. In the ba ling role Miss Van Studdiford Is credited with doing the best operatic work of her career. She is said to be equally good as th.- titled lady of the court and th- happy-go-lucky bandit who robs her own sweetheart Just for fun.

GRACE VAX FTTDDIFORD. The Indiana Prima Donna of "Red Feather" at English's To-night. cle. They pose In a great golden frame and the .effect is startling. This exhibition has created a furore In the East and will be one of the most noteworthy offerings of the season at the Grand. Other acts in the Grand's next programme will be furnished by Mr. and Mrs. Mark Murphy, oldtime favorites here; Hal Merrit, a crayon artist; A. O. Duncan, the well-known ventriloquist: Bryant and Saville. the blackfa musical comedians; Gallagher. Barrett ft Co., in a new farce; Lew Sully, the monologulst. and Madge Maitland. a comedienne. The current bill at the Grand, with Fanny Rice as the star, is pleasing large audiences. "The Silver Slipper," which will be seen In Indianapolis at English's next Wednesday and Thursday nights, and at a Wednesday matinee, Is being sent on tour this season by Fisher & Ryley, the same managers who produced "Florodora" on such a handsome scale. The new English musical comedy is by the authors of "Florodora" and is "aid to be Just as clever and entertaining. The company presenting It numbers one hundred people, besides an orchestra of fifta n musicians. George H. Murray, the business manager of the organization, was In Indianapolis yesterday making final arningements for Its local engagement. He sabl that the company travels by a special train of six cars, which is composed of three sixty-foot baggage cars and three Pullman bullet sleepers. The sale of seats for "The Sultan of Sulu," which comes to English's next Monday and Tuesday evenings, is now in progress at the box office of that theater. The company Is the same In almost every particular as that which was seen In Indianapolis early in the career of the merry George Ade piece. Frank Moulan, who gave up the role of the Sultan at the beginning of this season in order to play the l a ling comedy role In another musical show, has returned to Manager Savage's organization, and is once more creating mum amusement as Ki-Ram, the little monarch who is Initiated Into American styles and customs. It is now reported that Lillian Russell, at present on a tour with the Weber & Fields all-star burlesque organization, will again star next season at the head of a comic opera company. It Is said that the success this year of Grace Van Studdiford in "Red Feather" and Fritzl Scheff in "Babbette" has awakened fair Lillian to the fact that the public wants opera with singers and is about through with the musical comedy game. It Is understood that she will appear next season In an opera by Victor Herbert. 4Sir Henry Irving will reopen tho Illinois Theater in Chicago next Monday night. when he will be seen In "The Merchant of Venice." The Illinois will be the third Chicago theater to get under way once more. McVicker's held a record-breaking audience last Monday evening when It reopened with the melodrama. "In Old Kentucky." Next week the Garrick Theater will reopen with Paula Edwardes in "Winsome Winnie," and a week later Maxlne Elliott will reopen Powers's Theater in "Her Own Way." Work will begin Monday morning on the stage of the Park Theater in the preparation of the scenery for Dickson & Talbott's new popular-price theater in Dayton, O. All of the stage settings for the new Dayton house are to be built and painted in this city. und-r the supervision of Charles Duchene. the stage manager at the Park. The rolls of canvas arrived yesterday and the Park's stage will present a busy appearance every morning, beginning with next Monday. CREATORE HERE IN TWO MORE CONCERTS Arrangements were completed yesterday afternoon for the reappearance In Indianapolis of the celebrated bandmaster, Signor Creatore and his great Italian band. Two concerts will be given at Tomllnson Hall on Saturday. Feb. 20 afternoon and evening. The success of Creatore was so great wht-n the eccentric musician was last seen here that his return engagement Is sure to attract much attention. The local preparations for the concerts are being made by R. Boone McKee. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MAN'TON.

A Literary- Episode. What Elizabeth Cherry Waltz wittily designated as "the snoop book "the questionable novtl to be "snooped" under the couch cushions on the approach of a man Is, It appears, not to be indorsed by the small boy of the average literary household. In the presence of small Walter, ten or thereabouts, the other day. Walter's mother and young aunt were discussing, discreetly enough, as they supposed, one of the recent novels, more or less "snoopy" in character. The young aunt had not read the novel, and the mother emphatically pronounced upon it as of trash trashy, and, moreover, a "bad book," although written by an author of wide repute and of decided literary distinction. At the close of the young aunt's visit she picked up the discussed novel and said: "Well, Isabel, if you don't care I'll Just take this book home and run through itThere are so many, many off-color novels these days that the off-color quality really has become too monotonous to be damaging." At this small Walter arose from his toys, so to speak, and planted himself before his young aunt, with indignant mien and glaring eyes. "Why, Aunt Bertha," he exclaimed, "are you going to read that book? Didn't you hear mamma say that was a bad book?" And Bertha dropped the volume back on th. table and said: "Come and kiss me, Walter; you are entirely too nice to have relatives who read bad books." Shopping Suggestiona. Among the newer stocks are some of crepe de chine and one shop is showing the stocks in several different shades of tan. among them the popular champagne tint. The stocks have long ties with a narrow hem, and they are tiexl in a small bow beneath the chin, the ends falling almost to the waist. They are not really so smart as the stocks of trim bows and knots, but still variety is the spice of stocks. Some imported linens are among the new shirtwaist materials shown. The fabrics come In solid colors and are marked by cords into tiny checks or larger squares. They are particularly attractive In blue and several shades of that popular color are shown. Colored handkerchiefs for men have taken on the gray tones, which are to be the smart effects In tho coming season and a number of handsome things are shown In soft gray silks with tiny figures in self .color. The borders usually have stripes of contrasting color and the handkerchiefs are exceedingly effective us well as expensive. The paper napkins, which are used now for so many purposes, are shown in a number of new designs. For the hostess who entertains at cards and who does not care to use her linen napkins there are the dainty paper ones with card designs In the ciirncr, and another new pattern shows a scalloped edge with a tiny vine for decoration. The usual price of the paper napkins is 5 cents a dozen. A new shirtwaist model shown in one of the shops has a number of small plaits either side the front. The plaits are stitched to the bust, where the stitching ends in a point and the fullness is released. The material of the shirtwaist is one of the handsome new madras fabrics, gray, with a tiny green figure. A new design In a bookcase is broad and rather low and the glass door is covered half way up with a lattice of llemish oak. Menu for a Day.

"I suppose nobody's brain is so perfectly balanced that he hasn't some few whimsical ideas, not to say hallucinations," said the young doctor. "I have one patient a big, hearty man who is mortally afraid of seeing the sun set. He says he can never quite convince himself that it will ever rice again, and never. If he can help himstlf, does he fall to be Indoors when the sun goes down. He is not afraid of anything else on earth, but he runs like a rabbit from a sunset. I have another patient a woman i who likes to hear the sound of breaking gtaM. When she Is very nervous she says nothing can ealm her but dumping a box of broken bottles Into another box. and she Is actually afraid to go Into the glass department of a store because she does so want to knock a whole tableful of glass over. She has an idea that if she could once go on a real glass fag and kick a hole through a plate glass window she'd be cured of her mania, and possibly she would. I know another woman who wants to touch the ears of everybody she sees. She says there's something fascinating about the" way ears bend un!-r the fingers.

They say tht y can't s-p unless they smell wool, and in the summer tim- ach of them puts a scrap of flannel on his pillow. All these people I speak of ar- normally sensible folk not even eccentric. I venture to say that there Is not one of us who hasn't some nonsensical idiosyncrasy if he'd only confers it." WtkfM to ( ook i nbbage. New York Evening Post. That th- food value of the cabbage Is low and that it is not readily digested by delicate people is undoubtedly true, but a nicely prepared dish orten serves a good purpose by merely stimulating the appetite and affording a change of diet.

It Is best, perhaps, to alternate the cabbage and the cream sauce, but an experienced Book knows how to incorporate the sauce with th- vegetable in Just the right way. by lifting with a fork and allowing the sauce to reach very part of the dish. Grate cheese and bread crumbs thickly over the top of the cabbage and dot with bits of butter. Bake until tne sauce bubbles up and the top is brown. Craig's candies are certainly good.
