PATTI CANCELS CHICAGO DATE ANDREMAINS HEBE Unpleasant Memories of Windy City, Combined with Cold, Cause Diva's Decision. IS AN AFFABLE GUEST Hotel Management Contradicts Several Statements Baron a Democratic Husband. Mine. Patti is so pleased with Indianapolis and with the comfortable quarters furnished her at the Claypool Hotel that she has decid?d not to go to Chicago to-day. as was announced upon her arrival Saturday. The diva came to Indianapolis sev eral days before her engagement because she does not like Chicago hotels, and after twsnty-four hours at the Claypool the concluded that she would not go to Chicago even for a day until she is compelled to go there tn the course of her tour. Mroe. Patti was slightly indisposed yesterday. "This abominable weather, you know ugh!" was the graphic explanation givn by one of the party. There was a rumor about the hotel that the madame wa. really ill and that she might be unable to fill her engagement here Wednesday night, but the report could not be verified. The management of the hotel knew nothing of the summoning of a physician, so there was nothing to substantiate the rumor. The great singer has not left her apartments since her arrival at the Claypool, and. indeed. It Is said that she has spent most of her time in bed. Other memh.-rs of the party, Including monsieur It baron, the diva's husband, have mingled with other guests in the hotel. The madame s party occupies fifteen rooms, Instead of nine, as originally announced. The suite of nine rooms is for Patti, her two companions and the baron. Again, the madame did not insist that the rooms above her suite should be left unoccupied so that she would not be disturbed by the noise of guests in the apartments above. Contrary to the general report, the madame is not "finicky." An Indianapolis man who met her in a business way is authority for this statement. "Madame Patti is not 'finicky or hard to please," he declared. "She is a pleasant and affable old lady just like any other nlre old lady." And then, realizing the unpardonable break he had made in classing the diva as an "old lady," he hastened to correct hlmelf by adding "Juat like any nice lady. I mean." The Claypool is filled to overflowing with coal operators and commercial men. most of whom are in ignorance of the faet that they are under th- same roof with the woman who can travel 27.000 miles, sing a few songs and return with bar baron to her castle with the neat little sum of $375.000, with which to stave off the wo'f for a few more years. Women Ballot Staffers. To ths Editor of the Indianapolis Journal. It would be most encouraging to witness ths horror depicted in the writings of gome of our men over the fraud reported to have been committed by a small handful of women in the Denver election were it not for the fact that they fall to even mention the frauds commit ied by men at the same election, which were one hundred times greater than those committed bf the women. I happened to be in Washington at the time Hon. John Sha froth resigned his seat in Congress. .Mr Shafroth. together with some half dosen other prominent i itlzens of Dei.ver, was interviewed regarding these reports, and all were unanimous In Pronouncing them "outrageous lies. " Mr. hafroth said that very few of the persons Implicated were women, and those were at the instigation of men. There were gome 5.000 fraudulent votes cast and not over 100 were ca.st by women, and yet frm reading the papers one would suppose that women were the enly transgressors. A romlnent lawyer of Denver who was in Washington said of "Exhibit $4." which has caused all these newspaper eure heads, "that exhibit was not competent evidence, and would have b en thrown out by any court. The woman who accused herself and other women of cheating, simply mado her affidavit and 'skipped.' She did not Stay to be cross-examined, us any one making su.-h an accusation Is bound to do. Everything points to the bsMel that she was in the employ of the opposite party." When Mr. Snafr .th. who is the i.e a ffsctsd by these frauds and whose honorable conduct in resigning his seat is prala 1 by both friends and enemies, pronounces these charges against the women "oatrageous" and still insists that the Influence, of women in political life h.: been uplifting In spite of the occasional dishonor;. Me woman, what can ' wl .. Ignorant of the facts, devote columns in trying to bring the women into ridicule? The whole thing bears the earmarks of anothor well-planned scheme of the sntisuffragists to Lring won;, n suffrage into disrepute. No one has ever claim.-. 1 that a l! women are honest or that uil women Would vole honestly, nut when any witter devotes columns, a.-i some of them have, to plcturii.g the fraudulent schemes of ..t the most a small handful of women, they must be hard up for material. Women have Wen voting in Wyoming for thirty-ttve years. In Colorado for te i ve.irs and In Idaho and T'tah for eight years', and this Is the ttrst instance u here worn a h been found repeutlng at the no! la. Ton may rest as h that the oposotion would have discovered it if any woman I d vet betöre don- sw h a thing. Perhap: it would be an a I : kin ir.e - to . the ; ii.sition gloat to their hearts' conb r.t over this, their first discovery ot fraud by worr . after waiting all these Iohk. wear vcar tor the oppurtm ::y i:i.:;oftA m. bauc-jck.

With Henry Dee, the "impersonator of great men, past and present," and Elfle Fay, the vivacious comedienne, as ÜM leading contributors to the Grand's programme this week, the vaudeville entertainment should prove to be one of considerable Interest. Mr. Lee is credited with giving one of the strongest specialties on the vaudeville stage this season and in all of the cities where ho has so far appear, l he has attracted more than the usual amount of attention. He is an original entertainer and a versatile one. If he were to play 1 season of six weeks in any one vaudevil'.o house he could change his entire programme every week and still keep it ' up to the mark" something that can be accomplished by precious few performers in vaudeville. His act this week will be n BW and novel. Miss Pay was considered one of the brightest "headllners" In the New York veudevville theaters before she started out on her present tour of the West. She will introduce a number of n tw songs and will sing her old favorite. "The Belle of Avenue A," with which she has been particularly successful. Other specialty performers to take part in the programme will be LoolS McCord, who, with the assistance of two othrr players, will present a farce; Sherman and L)e Forrest In a travesty called "The Battle cf Don Dago;-' Gardner and Maddern in a new act. Talbott and Rogers In a sketch. Valmore and Wilson in a budget of songs and jokes ami Ford and Wilson, who Will offer a singing and dancing specialty. The bioscope will round out a programme that promises to be interesting. Hugh Morton, the librettist who wrote the book of "The Belle of New York," is back In New York after a sojourn of three years in England, where he met with more success than in his own country. He la ambitious to do serious dramatic work and hopes to follow the example of George Ade, whom he greatly admires. He says: "I know It is hard to convince people, when you have been successful with a musical comedy. t!;at you have brains enough

to write anything serious, but it should not be impossible. It has been accomplished in the case of George Ade. The public are beginning to recognize that he has a contemplative mind, that he goes very near nature, that he doesn't merely transcribe nature, but that he also makes his characters say things which have the elements of philosophy. Now, philosophy may be irritating to careltss people, but it is always instructive, if put in the right way. A man can easily smuggle a little of It Into an amusing play. and. if it isn't forced, it will invariably touch the right spot. Yet It Is this very philosophy that managers will generally reject. They think it will fly over the heads of the audience. It won't, for the public In general represent as good hit lligence as you wish to look for, and their intelligence really ought to receive more consideration from managers." When Frank Daniels comes to English's in his new musical comedy, "The Office Boy." In the near future. Bonnie Maginn. a great local favorite, will be seen in the leading soubrette part, instead of the highstrung Eva Tanguay, who has been with the comedian all season. Miss Tanguay left the Daniels organization Saturday night, and Miss Maginn was immediately engaged by Manager Charles Dillinaam to take her place. It is understood thct Miss Tanguay. whose clever performance as the "female dete tive" in "The Chaperons" is well remembered, expected to be a star herself thh season, and has not taken kindly to her position as a supporting member Of Frank Daniels's company. Miss Maginn belonged to the ill-fated "Mr. Bluebeard ' company, and has not been seen on the stage since the terrible Chicago firt . She will make her first appearance with the Daniels company in Baitimor; this evening. Miss Maginn is one of the best dancers on the stage. f "The Smart Set." a spectacular extravaganza, cr mes to the Park to-day, the company Including a generous list of singers and burlesquers. It is a succession of songs, dances, cakewalks, specialties and the like, the whole company being made up of colored poople. The scenes of the three acts are in the Sandwich islands, one of them showing a garden at Honolulu and another a tangled tropical forest, where a duel is fought. It is asserted that th re is not a serious line In the play, the whole effort being toward fun-making. The songs include ragtime melodies, folklore, as the colored people know it, and some of tbe more gifted singers giving classical numb rs. Some of the popular songs are "The Smart Set Guards." "Good Night. Bucinda," "Book in Yo' Baby's Byes" and "Love's Enchantment." Among the singers are Mamie i;:,.. rson, Marion Smart and Hattie Hopkins. A New York writer on theatrical topics says that Wilton Lackaye's dressing room Is a busy place during the brief periods that the actor is off the stage while a performance of "The Pitt" is going on, not so much by reason of the fact that his dresser makes a complete change in the actor s attire after euch act, but because "Buliv Boy." a rollicking bulldog that occupies the next place in hi master's affections after Mrs. Backaye and Wilton, jr., is continuously surging over divans, under tables and behind trunks in pursuit of a rubber ball, which he only overtakes to immediately liberate again, again to renew tumultuous pursuit.

EONNIE M'GINN. Who will soon be seen in Indianapolis with Frank Daniela in "The Office Boy." teen balls, though the phenomenon gradually reduces Itself to the aforsesaid "Bully Boy" and one gutta percha spheroid. It is quite likely that the war in the far jBaat will soon have its effect on the drama of the time. With Bichard Mansfield appearing in "Ivan, the Terrible," in New York this week, a good start In that direction is made. The American stage already has "The Darling of the Gods" and "A Japanese Nightingale" as reproductions of life in Japan, but there have been no recnt Pussiar. plays except the melodrama, ' By Right of Sword." "Ivan the Terrible" was written by Count Alexei Tolstoi, and the author! tiea refused to permit its presentation In Russia. Gabriel Pollack, a youmj Russian artist, brought the play to the United States in pamphlet form and translated It. The stage adaptation was mde by Stanley Wood. 4 Another devotee of Ibsen has come to the front in the person of Nance O'Neil, the California actress. Miss O'Neil presented tho Norwegian pessimist's "Lady Inger of Ostrat" lat Saturday afternoon in Boston at a special matinee and made a sf ong impression upon the more seriousminded play-goers of the Hub. It was the first time that this particular Ibsen drama has everlxxn seen in America. It is one of the earliest of the Ibsen plays and at the same time one of his gloomiest works. As Is the case with so many of Ibsen's unhan !c heroines, Lady Inger is a wicked, vindictive woman, who succeeds in making very other character iu the story utterly miserable. Ticket speculators is an element that Walter Bowlby, the manager of the Park, does not have to deal with often, and he will set In motion some idea to outwit them when the sale of seats for Weber A Fields opens on Wednesday morning. He expects the line of buyers to form early, but the speculators will be weeded out as fast as they are discovered. Each purchaser will be limited to ten tickets. The Park seats :'.300 people and only the gallery will be open to general admissions. A generous quantity of inquiries has been coming in from towns on interurban linos, indicating that the engagement on March 10 will bring many theatrical parties to the city. Orders from out in tho Stato, Mr. Bowlby says, are to receive special attention. Phil Sheridan's "City Sports" Burlesque Company will be the Empire's attraction for the week, beginning with the regular matinee this afternoon. The company has often been seen In Indianapolis before and has a reputation for giving good performances. Manager Sheridan says that he has a large chorus of pretty girls In the combination this season and the new burlesque, "The Maids of Siam," Is said to be filled with bright musical numbers, pretty dances and comical situations. The leading vuudevilr people with the show are Palfrey and Merrill, the well-known comedy cyclists; Adelaide Marsden, La Rue. Mills and Bei eher, the Pun-American Four and the Speck brothers. 4 JbMpn Jefferson celebrated his seventyfifth birthday last week. He is a remarkable old man in that he is still in complete possession of the faculties that have given him a world-wide reputation and is still capable of Interesting and amusing large audiences. He is still a fluent writer and talker and seems oniy to grow more graceful mellow as the years roll by, leaving him apparently unscathed at a time wheu the groat majority of men of his age have abjured their ustfu'ntss. her country. A neighbor of tho gray-haired enthusiast, ir order to tease her. refused one day to walk under the tl lg that always hung Crom Barbara's upper window and m kd Up the middle of the street. When roi.; was noticed Barbara Freitchie seized her fiag and rushed out into the street, waving it violently over the head of the traitor, and dared her to repeat the off nse, a she termed it. to her country. While they made their home in Maryland Mr. a::d Mrs. Fleming were in the midst of the war territory. They witnessed the march of the Union soldiers as they mude their way to the battle of Antietam and Gettysburg, and could bear the roar ot musketry during the proi ss of the battle. All the el Itdren were präsent at the celebration, and were Mrs. Judge Thomas W hallen, Mrs. Charles Haymon and Mrs. John L. F. Steeg, of Indianapolis. Mrs. W. L. Ewing and Mrs. Samuel L.

The Crackle You Hear Is the Sign They are fresh -Pint Folks." Among the most amusing, not to say instructive, manifestations of curious human nature in society matters must be recorded the manner in which New York lines are drawn as to "who's who." "When I was in New York last month," said an active club woman and social leader, "I werft to see one of my husband's aunts, dear old elegant Aunt Rosamond. At one time Aunt Rosamond had nearly unbounded wealth and spent her life in living end entertaining in almost regal fashion. Now she is in painfully reduced circumstances, as she considers them. She has had to give up her princely home, and with her remaining daughter, gentle, beautiful spinster Arabella, lives in a handsome flat overlooking Central Park. Harry and I would consider ourselves well-placed, Indeed, if we could live as luxuriously as Aunt Rosamond and Cousin Arabella do. "During our visit it came out that neither of these ladies goes into society at all. We naturally inferred that only the declining years of the elder lady had any bearing in the matter, but Cousin Arabella explained. " 'Oh, no,' she said, 'mother would not give up society on account of her age; New York women don't pay any attention to age, they do what they want to do as long as they have the necessary mom-y. But, you see, now that we haven't our large house any longer we are not on equal terms, socially, with any New York people. We can't accept invitations from people who live as we used to mother is too rroud, and so am I for we can't entertain such people. We wouldn't ask them to come to a flat and they wouldn't come if we did. "Then, you know, we won't associate with any of these fiat folks of course not. They are all good people, no doubt, and have their own friends among other flat folks, of course. That is all riht, flat folks should associate with flat folks, but you see we can't have anything to do with them because we have led tuch a different life. Yes, it is too bad, but it can't be helped; we can't have our old friends, and it would never do for us to take up with all these flat folks never in the world.' " jlenn for n üny.

There are plenty of people who would cheerfully go to tho stake for their soul's sake and not make any fuss about it; but when it eOSSSS to being deprived of one's steak and the things that go with steak almost any marryr would do a Ättle rerunting. There Is a very delightful woman here in town who has been having trouble about servants. Ther are 40.O0 women who will take this statement as personal, but for the time being I am speaking of but one. The tide of cooks ebbs and flows through her house, and the family is tossed about at the mercy of the element, so to speak. Not long ago a colored lady called to see if the pi. ice would do at a plnrh. She asked how long the last cook had stayed and why she hadn't kept on staying. She asked how often she'd be exxected to have an ev ning in. and how many visitors the family had. 8he w ;.ted to know well, if you've t.r tried to get a .ook to engage you,

you know what else she asked. At length she said: "Do you belong to the church?" The lady of the house hastened to assure her that the religious atmosphere of the family was entlreiy correct. "Do you keep Bent?" was the next question. "To a certain extent," the lady of the house admitted. "Well," said the Grand Duchess de la Cuisine, "you'll have to tell me plainer than that. I knows how Catholics eats in Bent, and I certainly ain't going to work for nobody like that in I?nt. If you keeps Bent I can't take the place." The lady of the house hastened to assure her that If necessary the whole family would consent to eat meat every day in Bent and at least seven times on every Friday. She was desperate, poor lady, and what shall it profit the mother of a family If she save her soul and lose her cook in the operation? For my part, now that the cooks have risen against the observances of the church, I don't see that there's a single thing to be done. I recognize the situation as hopeless, and the days of the church are assuredly numbered. Club Ambitions. New York Mail. "I dou't blame womeu for striving after office," is the decision of a clubwoman, who has kept pretty well out of the hurly-burly of club politics hitherto. "I used to wonder why in the world they pushed and scrambled and became enemies for life for the sake of figuring in tbe papers as 'Mrs. Blank, the well-known presidrut of Asterisk,' or 'the Charming Mrs. Dash, who presides over the Juno Club.' But I have changed my mind of late. I have found out that there is a "substantial emolument' side to It. "We club women are prettv nice to each other, after all, and if we nave any sort of 'doings' we are apt to invite all the club presidents in to rejoice and share our bit and sup with us. "It doesn't make any difference whether the club she represents Is one of the 'swell' ones or a purely literary or scientific, or yen a good, hard-working 'culture' associationits president gets an invitation and has just as much fusa made over her as the others. And then there's always the chance of billig s-i:t ;s a delegate to some convention or ether. I tell you the life of a club president in this good borough of Manhattan can be one round of gaycty, if she choos- s to accept all the 'bids' that come to her, and it needn't cost her a cent. Wheroas If poor 1 want to mingle with the gav throng at a subscription, it means $1.50. and the price of a cab and one or two other and so-forths. which go to make mincemeat of a iive-doilar bill."

THEY MOVED 110 TIMES DURING SEVEN YEARS Shakspeare Readings Largely Responsible for Migrations of Man and Wife. NEW YORK. Feb. 28. Moving has b?en almost the constant occupation of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Whalan, who, in seven years of married life, have changed their habitation 110 times. Another kind of a move for them was made in the Harlem Court, when Whalan, who was formerly an actor, and Is still a sduoent of Shakspeare, was commanded by the court to give $8 a week for the support of his wife, under pain of being moved to the workhouse. Some of their changes of location were made because the rent was lacking; others because there was lack of employment and many times the love of the husband for Shakspeare brought a compulsory shift of scene. "I've stood it long enough," said Mrs. N halan. "I expected when I was married to have a home, and we have moved and wandered and gone from this place to that until we haven t anything but a baby carriage and a copy of Shakspeare. It was Shakspeare with him from morning until night. 'The Taming of the Shrew- is his favorite. My brother and Flster wouldn't stand it, and they moved away from us. Then we moved. The landlord In the next place we went said when a man went around the house talking about smothering his wdfe with a pillow it was time that we got out. It was no use tor my husband to mak.- explanations about oniy reading 'Othello.' "It seems to me that we have lived in vans, in trucks and in railway stations and in hotels. I grew tired of Shakspeare and weary of being moved against my will. The more I objected the more irregular my husband became in his habits of life. Atter every pay day he would wander away lor lour duys, and what lu had left of his s;iluiy 1 had to take out of his trour.- pocksta when he was asleep. Tlwn he got to rutting h!3 nionoy in his hat. in his shoes, pinned to hip shirt lront and sew.l in his overcoat. I hated to hunt for it that way. but 1 had no other way of getting enough to eat. Lately he has not leen supporting me at all. If 1 get a regular Income you'll see me staying for a whole month in one place. ' Efforts were made to reconcile Mr. and Mr?. Whalan yesterday fti court b several women friends of the wife. "I'm disposed to be lenient." said the SSaaSstrnte. and then dropping Into the language of ths immortal bard, he added, with an inclination of his head toward the peacemakers : "Speak to him. Indies. Bee if you OSS move him." "Oh! don't.'' protested Mrs. Whalan.' "I want him to stay here until this affair is settled." "Judge." paid Whalan. with a dramatic j gesture, "that ray wife hath wronged m doth appear in this. 1 have suported nSf .'. I best I could and it was not long ago that I bought her a t wenty-dollnr hut." "Traled two chromos for It." sniffed Mrs. Whalan. "I'.ight dollars a week." rejoined the magistrate.
