PETTIS DRY GOODS CO. THREE GREAT METEORS . SEEN FROM A IM SHIP One Had an Apparent Area of Six Suns and the Others Were Smaller. MOTION WAS ANGULAR WASHINGTON. March 8. In a report to the Navy Department, received to-day. Lieutenant Frank H. Schofleld. V. S. N .. commanding the United States steamer Supply, front Guam for Sart Francisco, tells of the obrvance on Feb. 28 in latitude 35 degrees, 58 minutes north longitude. M degrees 36 minutes west, of three meteors, which, he says, appeared near the horizon and below the clouds traveling in a group from northwest by north directly toward the Supply, lieutenant Sehotield reports that at first report tlir angular motion was rapid and color a rather bright red. As tney approached the ship they appeared to soar above the clouds at an elevation of about 45 degrees. n. r.;1ys that after rising above the clouds their angular moti- m becaim less and less until it ceased, wh n they appeared to be moving directly away from the earth at an elevation of about 75 degrees and in a direction west northwest. The largest mtteor had an apparent ana of about six sun. It was egg si: thf sharper end forward. Tl. nd and third meteors were round and showed no imperfection in shape. The second meteor was estimated to be twice the size of the tun In appearance and the third meteor about the size of tho sun. It is estimated the meteors were ubout a mile above the ship. They were observed by three persons and were in sight for two minutes. MOORE'S HILL COLLEGE Y. M. C. A. ELECTION to Xh9 Indianapolis Journal. MOORE'S HILL. Ind..

Enriched by his extraordinary inslpht and technical mastership. Sir Henry living's impersonation of Fhyk-ck is the perfect ideal that Shah , are ha d-nwn of malignant vitality and implacable revenge. The great English actor !os.d his Indianapolis engagement at a special matinee y Stf -rday afternoon with a memorable performance of "The Merchant of Veni and deeply impressed an a-idience of large size with the finest embodiment of the old Jewish money leod.-r m l ih- !,:. t elaborate revival o th- wonderful comedy that this city has car i . It is little wonder that nearly every actor P .-.v. an int i:n .1- si:, t succeed as Shylock. for a greater charaeter part has DOVOT b-en fcrtats i. The main traits of which the old Jew is representative are malice, greed, hatred, rellgiaes fanati. k m and all-powerful resentment of Christian intolerance and injustice. It is a charade - that offers endless opportunities to the true artist and one that affords a supreme test of the powers of its IntarprnteT To make Shylock an inu resting figure is no t xtraordinary accomplishment. for he would indeed be a poor player who could not hold the attention of an audience with so strong a part, but to imprint upon one's memory an ineffaceable portrait ot a living symbol requires the work of genius. Whether Irvine's performance is the culmination of years of study or simply an inspired work of art the result Is the same, for his Shylock is a masterpiece ot acting that sways an audience as the March wind sways the trees. The reason for the intense, smoldering passion of the bitter old man becomes clearly comprehensive to the observer early in the play and you forget, for the moment, what a monster Shylock is. with his ferocious demands for "his pound ot Utah." In the trial scene, when you catch that terrible Icok in the eyes of the vengeful Hebrew, you shudder involuntarily as if in the presence of the personilication of evil, while- but a short time before your heart was melting Into sympathy as you witnessed the silent, sorrowful return of the Jew to his deserted home, which had been so cruelly despoiled in his absence. W'hut a sinister, solemn, treacherous being is Shylock but what a grand old fellow he is in his poetie isolation and what a tragedy the comedy is after all! Such are the convictions you cany away with you from Sir Henry living's purforur-inee in "The Meii h.i nt of Venice." 'ohaide it was wno said that seeing Edmund Kean act Shylock was like reading Sjhakpoare "not by a penny dip, but by Hashes of H htnirig, b. cause hi- was so uneven, so d and so bad." for Kean, according to hr-hi igi a pie rs, could be as dull, careless and tam-- as he could be magnificent. To see Henry Irving enact the role is far b tter than reading Shakspcare. for Irving is consistently good in the part from tirst to last. Shylock. in his hands, is a living, breathing human being, not a mere puppet endowed with rare elocutionary skill (Sir Henry's strong point is not elocution) and his portrayal is one that will stir the profound respect of tho Shakspearean scholar while appealing, at the same time, to the less discriminating play-goer. There were hundreds of young people In yesterday afternoon's audience students from the various schools drawn to the theater through their school readings ot SShakspeart and it was noticeable that, while many of them applauded the play rather than the acting of it. they were deeply interested! in the performance of th distinguished actor and appre iative of his wonderful' art. The supporting- company, as in the presentation of "Louis XI," was very satisfactory as a whole, though weak in some pines Mabel Hackney, who play.-d the part of the French Dauphin with such skill and grace in "Louis XI," was hardly able to cei? with the difli- ulti.s uf the role 'of "Portia. Her Portia displayed a young head as well as a young body and was therefore not the Portia of Shakspt-are "with so young a body and so old a head." Although presenting a very pretty picture In the red robes of the "learned young doctor," she seemed out of place in the Venetian court of JuatlOO and her orations were delivered in amateurish fashion. On the other hand, Gerald Lawrence, whose acting in " Louis XI" was too theatric, was very much at home in the part of Bassanio. which he rendered admirably. Laurence Irving appeared as Antonio. It is remarkable that a son of Sir Henry could possess such an expressionless face, but the acting of the younger Irving was scholarly at all times. Nora Lancaster made an effective Jessica, being well suited to the part of the Jewish maiden, and the other roles of importance were capably Hlled by W. Farrcn, jr., F. Tyars. H. B. Stanford. W. Lugg, Lionel Belmore and Laura Burt. The production wai; a thing of beauty, both in regard to cen?ry and the incidental music. No Shakspearean play has ever been so attractively .-tug.d in Indianapolis and it would be hard to convince those who attended yesterday's performance that a Shakspearean comedy, without sctnery and music, as Ben Greet tnd his Imdon players have been offering Twelfth Night" in the East, could prove half so interesting and of half such artistic value. Then t r ie:i I Notes. The burleaque on "Catherine," Annie Russell's play, which Weber & Fields will present to-morrow night together with "Whoop-Dee-Doo," at the Park, is said to be one of the best travesties this organization of burlesquers has attempted. Every principal in the company has something to do in it, and the chorus is frequently called into service. It is not necessary to see the play as Annie Russell presents it to understand the burlesque, as the parody is sufficiently comprehensive to stand on Its own merits. '"Whoop-Dei -I . " and the travesty on "Cat!; rine" was tin company's bill for two week3 in San Francisco and it is being produced in each city as the company Is making its way back to New York. Among the musical numbers ar : "On the Boulevard" and "Maid of Timbuctoo," sung by Lillian Russell; "Ragtime in Europe," Ming bv Peter F. Daily, and "I Want to ;., B..ck to the He ir Old L S. A.." sung by John T. Kelly. ( NM of the fe.itures is the chorus a sh w mi!-, mode up of about .xty yemu wtuip n. who are not only good looking, but who know howto sing and dance. There has beam h lu-avy demand ior seats and the house will doubtless be sold out for the one performance. Ben Teal, who stages all of the Weber & Field shews, is with the company on its present tour, and the dual bill will be staged on the same stale as marked

VIRGINIA THORNTON. M 'W aap attog at the Park in " Welded and Parted." It in the Weber & Field Music Hall in New York. f f "The Isle of Spice." Which Chicago considered one of the brightest musical shows of the season and which enjoyed a run of over 13o performances in that city, will be the attraction at English's- to-morrow evening and for the rest of the week, with a Saturday matinee. The piece is an operatic comedy, with libretto and lyrics by Allen Lowe and Georg S. Stoddard and musi- by Jerome and Paul Schindler. It is said to be most elaborately mounted and is presented in three acts and three scenes. The locale of the piece is an imaginary island, and, as the whole story is of the most fanciful sort, every opportunity is offered for brilliant costuming, regardless of historical accuracies. The company numbers sixty people and includes some singers and comedians of prominence. Harry Kelly, who is best remembered in Indianapolis for his laughable performance of Sinbad the Sailor, In the extravaganza "Jmn k and the Beanstalk." Is the principal comedian, and Florence Hay ward is at the head of the. feminine contingency. The seats for the engagement are now on sale at English's box office. The statement that Mnxine Elliott will take "Her Own Way" over to London at the end of the season is denied by her manager, Charles B. Dillingham. Miss Elliott will spend her vacation as usual at her summer home in England, and will retain "Her Own Way" next season, at a route extending as far west as the Pacific coast has already been booked for her. Moat of Manager Dillingham's stars have done so well this season that they will stick for another year to their present vehicles. These- include Frank Daniels in "The Office Boy" .md Fritzi Schiff in "Babotte," which she may follow later next s nton with another opera. Another of the Dillingham stars. Miss Julia Marlowe, is to be seen with E. H. Sothern in a series of Shakspearean revivals. "The Wedded and Parted" company, which closes its three days at the Park tonight, includes a number of old-timers. One of them is Charles F. McCarthy, who has been seen here in a number of other plays. Another If George B. Miller, who take the part of a financier. Miss Lizzie Malvey is a third. Virginia Thornton, who h ads the company, is one of the most popular actresses in the Sullivan, Harris & Woods forces, this Una ROVlng BOOTO than a dozen lurid melodramas on the road. Two children in "Wedded and Parted" are Lottie and Anna Johnson, who are accompanied by an older sister. They are New York youngsters and this is their first season on the stage. Charles B. Dillingham has completed arrangements whereby Fritzi Scheff, in the comic opera, "Babctte," will be one of the attractions in St. Louis during the exposition season. Mr. Dillingham has booked the clever German prima donna, whom Jean De Bomke once termed "the little devil of grand opera," at the Olympic Theater for an indefinite engagement, beginning in May. He will Increase the chorus by twenty members and will add other features to the production. Although the booking has not been made as yet. Fraulein Scheff may be seen in this city at English's for one performance before going to St. Louis. BO V TROUPE DISBANDS. Youngsters' Dream of Stageland Is Shattered by the Police. IVsire to lead the life of an actor caused four Cincinnati youngsters to leave their homes and follow the Knickerbocker Burlcsquers, who are showing at the Empire this week. The boys followed the show from Cincinnati to Louisville and from there to this city. The manager of the company notified the Indianapolis police of their escapade yesterday. Bieyclemen Askins and Duncan went to the stage door of the Empire and captured two of the boys, John Othis and William J. Wells. The others escaped.

An unusual ornament is In the Egyptian coloring, and cubists d three small shieldshaped medallions set in the center with immense square, blue stones, while smaller jewe-ls of rich colors are set about the e-dge. The pretty ornament is finished with slides, and is ch'cctivc either at th.- waist or throat. Some of the newer white China silk waists show insertions and medallions of colored lace insteaei of the all-white- effects of last season, and emphasize the fact that a note of color will ai p- ir on most of the white frocks and wah-ts of this year. A number of the ne wer lacea, even in the lower-priced OnOO, show a bit of color introduced daintily and with exceeding attractive effect.

It would be interesting if a skillful balunef piiii Iii In- i iwli-. to Wiilie.it.. tout Itow much Intellectual human bt are
influenced by character and jur;t how much they are influenced by clothes. "We had a lovely time in our neighbor hood club all winter, announced an animated lady, "until the clothes compe-tition set in. At th start we all agreed to keep the meetings strictly informal, and to main tain this informality we all wore our aec-ond-best clothes. Everybody looked well enough, the atmosphere was sprightly and we had charming meeting- Good talk, sir, i as Dr. Johnson said. Finally one rainy evening Mrs. McDowdy went lower than second-best, and wore a shamefully shabby old frock half the trimming off the waist and the rest too dingy to be loeeked at. Behind her back the r st of us decided that old clothes, even only second-b.-st, were demoralizing, and the self-respect of the club must be upheld. So, at the next meeting, several of us came out in new frocks, gay affairs. That started th'? whole club off in a fresh eiir.-ction, and now I do wish you could see the brilliant appearance we make. The rne-n had to keep step, of course; so evening suits are now the rule. "Yes, th women all look picturesque and the men look fine; but the flow of the soul is sluggish and the feast of reasem is far below the old se'cond-bost standard. R.-rhaps wh.-n these- our new club frocks set a little frazzled. Intellectuality will come to the front again. I'm sure I hop. so. Mrs. McDowdy's shabby old rainy-night costume is to blame for the whole trouble." Me'ini for n Dt J . Suggestions furnished by Table Talk to housekeepers of moderate means: Breakfast. Fruit.

The correct preparation of any dried or evaporated fruits is one of the sbwest of processes. The fruit, after being carefully Waabed, should be souked over night for at least twelve or fourteen honrt;. It should then be slowly cooked for three or four hours in the water it was soaked in, and stirreel with a silver or a wooden spoon. FoV cooking, a stoneware stewing pot or an old fashioned pipkin is used. Add fresh water as the other cooks away. Prunes require only a scant half cupful of sugar th each pound. Add this just twenty minutes before taking the-m up. and let them cook as before, on the back of the stove. Prunelles, as they are acid, require a full cup of sugar. Dried peaches, plums, prunes, or any similar fruit cooked in this way becomes a delicious conserve with the rich flavor of the fresh fruit. The liquid aronnd it should be almost jellied when cold. Serve with a little cream. Dried apples should not be cooked as long as some other fruits, but should be soakexi longer. "Why Women "Weirk. New York Globe. "Why do married women work?" repeated Mrs. Ella F. Young, of the University of Chicago. "Why do unmarried women work? "Why do men work? To tarn the money for specific needs and to satisfy their desire for accomplishment. More marri.-d women are now working than was once the case, for a variety of reasons. Chief among these We may place the changing trend of the times and the restricted financial conditions of the last few years. Who was it said that 'woman's work has be.-n taken away from her, and she is following it out into the world?" Many of the ways in which women once earne-d a little money inside the home have been rendered impossible because of absolute inability to compete with the large manufacturing interests. "Meanwhile the children are growing, the social and intellectual demands of the time are more numerous, varied and costly than ever, many of the hushands and fathers earn less money than of old. Given sm h premises, viewed in conjunction with the enlarged opportunities and broader education for women, the case is clear." An Old Dinner Scheme. New York Sun. One of the prettiest ideas developed lately in dinner decorating, which can be' carri-nl out by any one with some skill in drawing, is an Omar Khayyam dinner. The scheme of such a dinner embraces name cards decorated in Persian designs in Persian rug colors, each bearing an appropriate quotation from the Buhaiyat, which aboundfl with them.
