Savage's magnificent company last nii,'ht at English's Opera House, i3 surely the most memorable event of the local theatrical year, from the musical standpoint, and is deserving of the warmest encouragement and the most whole-hearted support. Mr. Savage's admirable young sinui rs made a profound impression when they were hard in Indianapolis for the first time a year ago. but their success of last night was unquestionably greater than that which they scored upon the occasion of their initial appearance here. These sterling young artists possess the

ambition Hud the courage to undertake the most difficult of musical works, and they have the ability to carry out successfully all of their uudtrtaklngs. Iu university life you hear of the "college spirit" the sort of thing that wins contests against tremendous odds. There is just such a spirit as thU to be found in this operatic organizationa determination to make the mo.-t of sincere and serious study, aud never to be content until great results have been accomplished. The opening opera of the Indianapolis festival was Verdi's "Othello." which had never before been sung in English in this city, and it was so forcibly and effectively set before the large aud appreciative audience that the applause was frequent and most cenuine. and everywhere throughout the theater expressions of delight were f to be heard. There are thos? students of music who affect to believe that the greal operas cannot be adequately interpreted in this country by any conization save the Metropolitan Opera Company, but it would be hard to convince the person who loves music loves it for Its own sake aud not for the problems it presents that the performance of last night was not as distinctive and as convincing as many of those to be heard at tho big opera house on Broadway. The masterpiece was superbly sung by principals and chorus; it was staged in a manner that left absolutely nothing to be desired, and the large and excellent orchestra, under the conductorship of Chevalier Emanuel a musician who is thoroughly in touch with the spirit of modern Italian music played the score with vividness and warmth, rendering its sweeping Hoods of strong, impassioned' harmony and its rills of tender melody in a manner that was wellnigh perfect. It is a temperamental baton that Emanuel wields, and he read the score last evening with a due appreciation of its poetry as well as its passion, liest of all, the glorious work was sung in a language which the American citizen could follow with intelligence, and which allowed him to give himself up to the right sort of enjoyment of the wonderful musicdrama permitted him to understand the meaning of the words that were being sung and to give thanks in his heart that a sealed book has been opened for him at last. The average American loves music, all assertions of the "elect" to the contrary, but he becomes sickened with the silly affectations and arrant humbuggery of the so-called "music thinkers," who turn with disfavor from that which is simplest in music, and, therefore, clearly comprehensive to the general public. And so the thought must have come into the minds of many who were present at last night's beautiful performance that it was a refreshing relief to hear' one's own language in grand opera to hear it sung by artists who were capable of realizing the spirit of the work in hand, and not only to sing it as it should be sung, but to give it pregnant dramatic expression. Of course, there were some small defects in the presentation, for all of the singers are young and a few are without long experience, but on the whole the opera was given with much skill and ability, and the general co-operation of the forces was so satisfactory that Verdi's "Othello" will not be forgotten by those who were fortunate enough to hear its interpretation. f This brilliant and thrilling setting of the Shakspearean tragedy is accounted the most masterly achievement of the great Italian composer. "Othello," as a work of art, is indeed a masterpiece and when one recalls the fact that it was composed by a man who was between .seventy and eighty years old, and who at that age adopted a style entirely different from that employed in all of his previous works, the composition becomes a marvel. Verdi demonstrated in this opra that he could compose in the modern style quite as well as in the old. Excepting Wagner, no master of music could give such musical expression to the feelings peculiar to the different characters and to the general sentiment of the libretto. The presentation of this Verdi work offers added interest to the students of the drama and opera by reason of the English blank verse libretto of Francis Hucffer, the music critic of the London Times. In making the English translation from Doito's poetic Italian version, Mr. Hueffcr took steps to restore the original Shakspearean text as far as possible. He discarded the Italian rhymes in most instances and went back to blank verse, which he found peculiarly suited to the dramatic declamatory music written by the composer. The story is clearly and drnmatically presented far more so than is usually the case in grand opera. There is scarcely a mood of human emotion that is not brought out in the course of the opera. There is the jealous wrath of Othello, made all the more powerful by the belief that he is in the right; the pitiful pathos and hopelessness of the wronged Desdemona; the malignity, cynicism and cunning of the treacherous Iago; the honest friendship of Emilia; the irresponsible gayety of Cassio and the dignity and gravity of Lodovio nnd Montano. The range of feeling is Immense, and it has been given a wondrous transposition into a beautiful musical form. The interpretation of the title role was nothing short of a triumph for Joseph Sheehan. This handsome young tenor, who stands quite alone among the English-singing tenors of the American stage, has never been heard before to such great advantage. His magnificent voice thrilled the big audience and bis acting was at all times forceful and intense. His make-up as the hot-headed Moor was perfect; in fact, a more ideal Othello could not well have been presented so far as appearance was concerned, ?ind certainly no operatic tenor singing in English could have equaled his performance of last night. Mr. Sheehan's work was indeed a surprise, for, although he disclosed a splendid voice and much ability as an actor last season, he accomplished nothing that could be compared with this new portrayal, in the love music, in the passionate duet with Iago and in Othello's rage, hate and Brief during the final tragic scene he was superb. Sharing honors with him was Gertrude Rennyson, whose wondrously pure and sweet soprano was exceptionally well suited to the music that falls to the share of Des demona. Miss Rennyson. who gave promise of great things last season, has fulfilled all expectations. Her art has matured, and she not only sang with unusual skill and artistic intelligence last evening, but she portrayed the role of the Moor's unhappy bride with a true understanding of the character. The part of Desdemona is a most difficult one. for the very reason that the singer must be carefully nonintrustlve while winning the sympathy of her hearers. It is i role t be interpreted with the utmost discretion, and it could not possibly be sung successfully by any one but a thorough artist such as Miss Rennyson has proved herself to be. Her singing of the love music in the first act was delicious, and her rendition of the prayer in the bedchamber scene was inexpressibly sweet and tender, bringing the tears to the eyes of many of her hearers. She is a truly great young singer, and oncwho is worthy to be classed with the best sopranos of America. The role of Iago was excellently handled by that tine baritone, Winfred Guff, whose voice is delightfully full and rich. He made of Iago a commanding figure rather than the eievilish sneak that the character is often shown to to. Rut he brought out, however, the cunning villainy of the man, and his portrayal was clean-cut and Inter esting. Sheehan, Rennyson and Goff these three were the dominating factors in the great success of last night. The other roles of Importance were capably sung and, for the

It did seem that Mr. Fulton as Cassio was not always in the picture, but then the role is a weak one as present .d by the librettist. Miss Rita Newman was satisfactory in the contralto part of Emelia a role offering but few opportunities. Mr. Iknnett made a good Ludovio and Mr. Lawrence was more than equ il to the minor character of Mon tano. One the whole, the opera was given in a way that could scarcely be improved upon. The brief local festival of grand opera will come to an end with two more performances to-day, and English's should be packed upon both occasions. Verdi's beautiful "II Trovatore" will be sung at the matinee and Wagner's magnificent "Lohengrin" will be presented to-night: The casts for these operas, published in yesterday's Journal and in English's programme, are correct with three exceptions. Mr. Lawrence will sing the role of the Count Di Luni in "II Trovatore" and Miss Du Four the role of Inez. Mr. Goff and Miss Lc Iirun were originally cast ton these parts. Miss Le Brun, the Indiana prima donna, is too ill to apear. In "Lohengrin" Mr. Marsano will appear as Tajramund, which is considered one of his böst parts, in plate of Mr. Goff, whose name appears on the bills. The Vaudeville nt the Grand. There were some slight hitches in the opening performance of the week at the Grand yesterday afternoon, for the reason that three of the performers engaged were unable to reach the city in time to take part in the programme. Rome and Fergu son, the character comedians, and George II. Wood, the monologuist, missed connec tions while journeying to Indianapolis from Detroit, and their absence made it neces sary for Manager Zeigler to present the entertainment in a somewhat rearranged form, with the bioscope pictures, some of which are very interesting this week, displayed in the midst of the programme instead of at the end, as is customary. The tardy performers arrived in time to give their sptcialties in the evening, and the show ran along smoothly, and with much better results at the second performance. The bright particular act of the bill is the one presented by Mary Hampton and her assistant farceurs, William Davis and Frank Whitman. It is an amusing little piece called "The Melodrama," written by Edmund Day, who seems to have a monop oly in producing vaudeville sketches of the better sort. It must be admitted that Mr. Day failed to make the most of the excellent idea upon which his farce is based that is, the construction of the piece is crude, although there is plenty of genuine fun in it. A would-be writer of bloodcurdling melodramas falls off to sleep while inventing a lurid play, and is visited in his dreams by the heroine, adventuress and "the orchestra" that were to be such prominent features in hts masterpiece. Mr. Davis is the elreaming dramatist and plays his part well; Miss Hampton appears first as the heroine and then as adventuress, and does .gome excellent comedy playing, and Mr. Whitman, a little chap, with a serious face and a talent for rendering "shiver-and-shake" music of the melodramatic sort on the violin, is very funny as "the orchestra." The sketch is really enjoyable, despite its crudity, and is a great improvement over the usual vaudeville farce. The best of all bell-ringers, Musical Dale, comes in for the second honors of the programme, repeating the very favorable impression he made here last year. The melodies from the favorite new operas and the popular airs of the day become additionally attractive jvhen Mr. Dale plays them on his sweet-toned bells. He is far in advance of his contemporaries, for his work is really artistic. Pretty Winona Winters and her father, Banks Winters, appear in the same sketch which they gave here early last season. The sketch has little to commend in it, but father and daughter please th? audience with their singing. Mr. Winters seems to have obtained a new set of vocal chords, for he sang yesterday as he has not sung here in many years. During his last visit to Indianapolis his voice seemed but a shadow of its former sweet tenor, but his vocalization this time is a surprising improvement. Little Miss Winters is as charming as ever, although she is in need of some new songs. Her. ventriloquial imitations are exceptionally good. Carrie Scott had the dilficult work of opening the programme yesterday. Her style of entertainment is the sort that "goes better" when an audience is in the humor of being amused. . and she will doubtless score more of a hit during the rest of the week, when she is given ner allotted place on the bill. With a comical little colored boy to aid her, she sings a number of songs, not forgetting her favorite Bowery girl number. Pe'.more and Lee, a pair of gymnasts of the first rank, furnish a splendid exhibition, performing the most wonderful feats of strength and skill with astonishing grace and apparent ease. Johnny Carroll, the talking and singing comedian, contributes a specialty that proves amusing to many people. Muftlcnl Farce at tho Park. That ridiculous conglomeration of song, dance, nonsense and noise known as "Happy Hooligan," began its second engagement of the season at the Park yesterday afternoon and rlayed to good-sized audiences both matinee and eveningaudiences that went to the theater to be amused without being particular regarding the quality of the fun dished up for them. Of all foofish plays this one Is entitled to first consideration, but there are enough good specialties in it to make up for the utter Insanity of its dialogue and "situations." This is the rim: Everybody his fun with Happy Htoligan. It is not an intricate plot, as one may readily see; in fact, it offers no problems or any kind, and there is no connected story to bother one's mind over. Kverybody in the play takes, a crack at Happy Hooligan with a slapstick or something else during the course of the performance. Some people in the audience would enjoy taking a crack at him, too. but, alter all, he's a harmless sort of Idiot, and he makes your neighbor laugh even though he may cause you to feel blue. And so the only thing to do if you happen to get into the theater, intentionally or by mistake, is to lauh whenever you can at the clownish antics cf Mr. Hooligan ami his associates and wait for the specialties, some of which prove quite entertaining. The only change of importance in the cast since the company was seen at the Park six weeks ago is the appearance of Jennio Lamonts in the character of Bridget Moriarty, instead of the loudvoieed worran who used to insist upon retaining the center of the stage at all times. The change is an improvement. W. H. Mack continues in the character of the unlucky tramp, with a make-up that is at once" wonderful and fearful. The most talented performers in the organization are May Phelps, a dainty soubrette, who is a good singer and a graceful dancer, and H. J. Campbell, an Irish comedian, who is really clever. Other? in the piece deserving of praise are Ward Caulfield, Harrv J. Crandall. Martie Stoke-s, Kittle Baer, Mae Stokes. Gladys Hogers and the chorus of good-looking girls. "Happy Hooligan" will continue at the Park until Thursday and will then be followed by a brand-new comedy drama "Rachel Goldstein."

Season the dish with pepper and salt, pour two or three tablespoonfuls of rich cream over the mixture and then cover the top with grated cheese. Bake until the eggs are nicelv set and the dish a delicate brown. Garnish with tiny sprays of parslev and serve ia the baking dish with thin slices of toast and an acid preserve. To one-fourth of a pound of cheese add two tablespoonfuls of butter and the yolks of two small eggs. Pound the mixture to a paste, seasoning well with one scant teaspocuful of mustard, half a teaspoonful of salt and one-fifth of a teaspoonful of cavenne. Have ready six delicate slices öf moist toast on a small platter, and spread each slice with a little of this mixture. Set the platter in the oven for four mluutes, and then serve at once. A simple dish of grated cheese and toast is appetizing on the supper table at this season. Toast six rather thin slices of stale bread, lightly, over a quick fire. Butter each slice as it comes from the toaster, and. moistening it a little, cover with grated cheese to about the thickness of the slice. Keep the toast near the fire iu a covered dish until it is ready to serve. To Interent tlie Cook. If it is desired to keep cakes moist, put them in a stone jar; if crisp cakes are preferred, use tin as a receptacle. A spoon should not be left in a saucepan if you wish the contents to cool quickly, since the spoon carries )ff heat slowly. Salt in the oven under baking tins will prevent pastry scorching on the bottom. A dtlightful new sweetmeat is a chocolate-covered fig, that can easily be prepared at home with sweetened chocolate.

SPRING HAT BLOOMS IN GLORY AT H. P. WAS SON & CO.'S STORE

Big Store Thronged with Shoppers Throughout the Day Fine Displays in the Other Departments

The spring hat in all its glory bloomed yesterday at the II. P. Wasson store, and there was a throng of women out to see its blossoming. Besides the pretty things in the millinery cases there were new models in spring frocks, new fabrics and trimmings of all kinds, and all the departments of the handsome store showed late arrivals in their own particular lines. A small case containing just three hats was one of the prettiest parts of the millinery display. All the hats were either partly or wholly pink, and they were set off by the big bunch of pink roses swung in the center of the case. One of the hats was a big picture affair of plaited white mahne, the crown covered with white lace put on smoothly and drooping in graceful curves over the wide brim. The torpedoboat crown of pink maline was encircled by a wrcifth of pink roses, and two graceful plumes, shading from white to rose pink, were laid across the hat and caught under to trail their pink ends against the hair. The second of the hats, a chic affair of pink maline in narrow knife-plaiud ruffles,. had medallions of fine white lace applied on the brim, and bands and bows of rose pink velvet gave it tone beneath. The crown was entirely of crush roses in varying shades of pink from which -nse a quaint little upstanding frill of plaited maline. The third hat of the case was a toque of pink roses, the top fashioned from green leaves covered by a braid of green and silver. One of the most admired hats of the showing was in the quaint lsGO effect, which seems to have invaded the realms of dress. The hat was ot brown lace in delicate pattern over brown maline. the lace drooping gracefully about the brim. The crown of chirred maline was covered by the same lace, and beneath the lifted brim was a wreath of velvet roses, shading from pale yellow to burnt orange. From the back of the hat fell long streamers of soft brown ribbon, knotted a little way down, then sweeping loose for the space of thre or four yards. The gunboat shape, which is so popular in this day ot wars and rumors of wars, is shown in a model of tan Yeddo straw. The brim is formed of oval rosettes, each one set with an embroidered medallion In white, and the crown and back of the hat are covered with a mass of tiny rosebuds. A smart hat of two shades of champagne is formed of tiny straw ruffles with two straw choux. one edged with white, the other with black satin ribbon at the side, fastening the small white wings snugly. Yellow maline with a touch of black velvet finishes the hat leneath. In the ready-to-wear hats two shapes are particularly in evidence, the tricorne, and the wide flat hat pointed in the front. One of the prettiest of three-cornered hats is in yellow and black, the brim caught by a black straw cabachons and the trimming two stiff black quills. The French sailors, very flat and with the oval brim, wide from side to side, are shown in plain colors and in shaded straws, the trimming usually a broad Hat bow of velvet lined with the straw of the hat. In hat trimmings there Is a profusion of thing to tempt the home milliner. The flowers are more exquisite and more like the natural blooms this year than ever before. The smaller flowers are much In evidence, and besides there are masses of geraniums and bluets and other more usual millinery blooms In threeshaded effects. Buckles of all kinds are shown in great number, the broad backed
