JdcDonough. of Chicago, was choked and badly beaten by her husband while riding In a closed carriage on Atlanta's most fashionable street this afternoon. A number of citizens went to the rescue of the helpless woman, and had It not been for her intercessions would have dealt roughly with her husband. Two men, in order topive Mrs. McDonough protection, rode in the carriage with her husband and wife back to the center of the city, where McDonough was arrested. He was released upon giving a $V cash bond. The case will be tried before Judge Broyles, of the Recorder's Court, to-morrow afternoon. Mr. McDonough Is the traveling representative of a hotel supply company of Chicago. MISSING FROM HOME, GIRL FOUND AT THEATER Police Finally Locate Wayward Child, for Whom Parents Were Searching. Zola Dalehman, the young girl who disappeared .from her home, 1303 East Twentyeecond street, about a week ago, was found by Patrolman Ilaurnfuhrer at the Fark Theater yesterday afternoon. The girl when locked up did not seem to care about the trouble she hail caused her parents. She calmly told the officers that she had spent most of her time at Zimmerman's roadhouse in "Oklahoma. " A young man. who was with her at the theater, was also arrested and locked up at police station. It Is probable that the girl will be sent to the Girls Reformatory. She disappeared on March 13 and the police have been untiring in their efforts to find her. Queen Margaret Eutin .Mourning. ROME, March 23.

Yesterday may be recorded in the annals of English's Opera House as having con tained the busiest twelve hours that grand cpera in Indianapolis has ever known. From half an hour before tfoon, when an orchestral rehearsal was held, to the closing of the last Impressive scene in "Lohengrin." at a half-hour before midnight, there had been a practically unbroken stretch of grand opera with but short intermissions. And it was grand opera that was wholly worth while a festival of music which afforded unbounded pleasure to all persons who attended the performances. The theater held an audience of good size in theafternoon and another such asse.mbly as the Monday-night gathering was present at the evening performance a large and fashionable crowd that seemed wholly absorbed in the splendid interpretation of the sublime Wagnerian work. , That most lyrical, mystical and Idyllic of all operas, "Lohengrin," was sung as the concluding offering of the festival, and, as was the case last season. It was given a beautiful and entirely satisfactory rendition. Wagnerian music drama i3 utterly impossible with a weak cast, and Manager Savage presents authoritative singers when "Lohengrin" Is on the bills. tOnly genuine artists are capable of rendering the beautiful music of this remarkable love poem, and last night's cast of principals wa3 strong in every particular, while the work of the chorus tnd orchestra, with Elliott Schenck wielding the baton, was of a high order of merits Mr. Schenck is the young Wagnerian director of whom much has been heard during the last two years. From the first strains of the overture until the last sweet harmony died away, he showed that he had full command of the work in hand. His conducting was admirable in every respect. There was plenty of light and shade in the playing of his instrumentalists and no dragging of tempi. Without the least affectation in his manner this young leader gave wonderful life and variety to the score. He made his orchestra speak and at the same time furnish the necessary support to the singers. The men seemed sure of a firm prop with Mr. Schenck in the chair. The honors of the evening were fairly won by Gertrude Rennyson, whose interpretation of the role of Elsa was even better than her performance in the fame character last season which is saying a great deal. This young prima donna has such an Intellectual grasp of every role she essays, and her dramatic presentation of it Is always so clearly defined, that her degree of success simply depends upon the condition of her voice. Last night she was in superb form. She had never been heard In better voice in this city and she sang with a freedom and with a purity of tone that made every note tell. Such an Elsa as she presented could not fall to stimulate the entire cast, and with the orchestra responding as one man to Mr. Schenck's subtle reading of the score the whole performance was in every way admirable. Rita Newman was heard in the strong contralto role of Ortrude, and she scored a genuine success, sharing the honors at times with Miss Rennyson. She disclosed a voice that was of splendid quality, of much mellowness and power in the higher placing. There is no great range to Orttbde's music and there was little chance to Judge as to Miss Newman's lower tones. Iter voice, however. Is undoubtedly more the mezzo-soprano than the contralto. Her acting was also deserving of praise. Pietrn Gherardi, the Italian tenor, was again the Lohengrin of the presentation, and gave the same attractive portrayal of the picturesque Swan Knight that he rendered last year. Mr. Gherardi sings in English with no trace of his own nationality and he expressed the loftiness, nobility and poetry of tho character, besides looking the part of the glorious knight as few tenors are able to do. The only fault in his work was an occasional tendency to wander from the pitch, his singing being more satisfactory in the tender love music. A fellow-countryman of his, Signor Marsano, made his first appearance here, taking the role of the scheming Talramund and providing a well-conceived interpretation of this baritone part, although his English was hard to understand. His voice easily filled the requirements of the part, and the same may be said of Mr. Boyle in the character of the King. Mr. Boyle is a versatile actor, as well as a good basso, and Is equally good as the humorous Mephisto or In the dignified garb of a Wagnerian monarch. Mr. Lawrence sang the music of the herald in good voice. It Is gratifying to add. as a final paragraph, that the local grand opera season this year was a success financially as well as artistically, and that Manager Savage will bring his splendid organization back to Indianapolis next year for a longer engagement. Acting Manager Weadon.sald last night that another novelty besides "Othello" would be presented next season here. Mutinee Performance of "II Trovntore." The opera at the special matinee performance yesterday afternoon was Verdi's ever-popular and always-attractive "11 Trovatore." The audience was of good size and very appreciative, both Verdi's charming work and its Interpretation by the competent singers of the Savage forces being received with hearty evidence of approval and pleasure. The production was new throughout, new costumes and scenery having been supplied by Manager Savage at the beginning of the present season. All proved attractive, fitting and in excellent taste, while the fine orchestra, under Mr. Emanuel's skillful baton, furnished a genuine instrumental treat. Mr. Emanuel always succeeds In keeping his various forces in harmony with each other, and leads them satisfactorily through the difficulties of the score before them. The chorus, as usual, was agreeably In evidence, and again proved its great ability. What a satisfactory chorus this one of Manager Savage's Is! The voices are young and fresh, and the singers are not only equal to all of the demands made, upon them in a vocal way, but they act with expression and good taste, and are always doing their full share to fill in the pictures presented. A better chorus than the one to be heard with the Savage organization would be hard to find anywhere. In the favorite "Anvil Song" the strong, clear voices rang out in a style that was refreshing. "II Trovatore" was the opera that opened the season of the Savage company last year in Indianapolis, and those opera-goers who had heard its interpretation at that time were well aware of the fact that It would receive a fine presentation. The cast was different in every particular from the one which was offered last season. The new arrangement served to introduce to '-Indianapolis . a young soprano whose rise'in operatic work has been most' unusual. The newcomer was Jean Lane Brooks, another "discovery" of whom the lucky Mr. Savage may .well feel proud. She is a young woman with an attractive stage presence and much magnetism, and Is the possessor of a voice that reveals purity, strength and" thoroughly artistic control. Her Leonora was, indeexl. a delightful performance, ami she easily won her way to the hearts of her hearers before she had been on the stage ten minutes. Considering the fact that Miss Brooks has been in opera less than a year, her work Is deserving of high praise, and surely gives promise of a brilliant future. Marion Ivel! was heard in the role of Azucena last season in this city and yesterday she repeated her strong success in this interesting character. This fair young singer enters into her work with a will and may always be depended upon for earnest effort. She disguises her beauty completely in the role of the old gypsy, and one would not recognize in her the same charming contralto who sings Carmen with such reckless abandon. Her contralto voice is of rare quality and her sinying yesterday well deserved the .plaudits ehe received. The Manrlco of Mr. Wegener was a somewhat uneven performance. He failed to realize the xsslbilities of the character dramatically, although his vocal interpretation was. or the most part, excellent. However, his voice had a certain roughness in it at times that must have been due to a sliqht cold. In most of his music his lyric tenor was clear and true, but occa-

Who Is Scoring a Success in a Musical Specialty at the Grand. sionally it would sound harsh and unmusical. He appeared to realize this shortcoming and seemed uncertain of himself. Mr. Lawrence was an adequate Count Di Luni, although he, too, might have improved the part in the acting of it. His baritone, however, was good to hear and his entire vocal performance entirely competent. Miss Du Four appeared as Inez, Instead of Antoinette Le Brun, the Indiana soprano, who, by the way, has been compelled to leave the company and return to her home on account of serious illness. Miss Du Four was easily equal to the demands of the part, and Messrs. Bennett and Fulton sang the other minor roles with good effect. Theatrical Xotes. For three or four days last week a man In indescribable apparel, and who rode a bony horse, went about the streets of the city blowing a cornet that snowed as many signs of vear as did the man who pretended to play it. The horse and rider kept to the busiest streets and heralded the coming of "Happy Hooligan," the present bill at the Park. The man frequently left his horse at a curb and went into department stores and office buildings to make it known that "Happy Hooligan" was booked to appear at the Park this week. The horse utilized these brief halts to lean against a pole and rest. In make-up, this advance man was a duplicate of W. II. Mack in the character of Hooligan. But in reality the man who rode the horse was Clive ilart, who revels in the sort of work he Is doing ahead of the company. He lives at Brooklyn, N. Y., and for years was a rapid-fire stenographer for the Circuit Court there. But he prefers to wander about the country doing a "stunt" which keeps him out of doors. He has had many an adventure while ahead of the "Happy Hooligan" company. Indianapolis is one of the few cities where he has not been arrested by the police. Louise Beaton comes to the Park to-morrow in "Kachel Goldstein." There are many vaudeville performers giving musical specialties, but the Englishman, known as Musical Dale, who is now appearing in the Grand programme, is in a class all by himself. He is a thorough artist in his particular line, of endeavor, obtaining results from hi3 sweet-toned bells that must command respect from the most carefully-schooled musician. One does not usually associate players of bells with the better class of music, but Mr. Dale is en titled to consideration as a true musician. His handling of the accordion is skillful in the extreme, but is is his manipulation of his peculiar instrument comprising several octaves of bells an instrument which has no technical name that delights the ear. His selections on this instrument are admirably harmonized and played with much expression. His repertoire of selections is almost unlimited, and unlike the usual vaudeville instrumentalist, he does not follow out a certain programme every performance. There are several other very entertaining acts on the Grand's bill this week, Mary Hampton's sketch, "The Melodrama," being particularly amusing. Mrs. Fiske began a month's engagement in San Francisco last nightwith one of the strongest dramatic organizations seen in that city for years. She Is now. being seen in "Mary of Magdala," which for two seasons ias been her chief piece in New lork, and in which she has created an ar titic sensation throughout the West during her present tour. During her engagement she will not only appear in "Hedda Gab ler," which has been the artistic sensation of the season wherever Mrs. Fiske has played it, but also In "A Doll's House," "Divorcons," "A Bit of Old Chelsea" and "Cesarlne." In all of these Mrs. Fiske will be new to the California public. There is no player on the American stage to-day that can draw from a large number of characterizations of the first class such a varied series of parts as those that fall to Mrs. Fiske in this list of plays, and San Francisco will Indeed be fortunate In that it can study this wonderful actress in one after 'another of those plays, which together will disclose the many sides of the art that has made her famous. Grace B. Hughes, of New York, has brought suit in the United States Circuit Court to restrain David Belasco from continuing to present his play, "Sweet Kittie Bellairs," on the ground that a year ago she wrote a play called "Sweet Jasmine," which, she says, contained similar scenes to several in the . Belasco play. These, she declares, could only have been got from her work. Her play is of modern life in London. Tho Belasco play is confessedly founded upon Agnes and Egerton Castle's novel, "The Bath Comedy." "Prince retticoat," by Allen Lowe and Paul Schindler, librettist and pompöser respectively of "The Isle of Spice," seen here a fortnight ago, will be produced the coming season with a large cast. It is planned to give the production, which will be managed by Mr. Ii. C. Whitney, of Detroit, at some New York theater instead of in Chicago, which has seen the premier of Lowe and Schind ler's previous efforts. Dave Lewis, former star in "The Isle of Spice," will not appear in the new production. T Henry W. Savage says that he has not made an offer to Madame Gadski to sing the role of Kundry in his forthcoming English production of "Parsifal," but the famous primma donna says that she has been approached by Joseph Engel, who is Mr. Savage's stage manager. Madame Gadski is willing to sing the role, but the salary she asks is $l,O0o a performance. The Savage prmluction of 'Parsifal" will not be given until about this time next year, it is understood. Mrs. Langtry's American tour came to a close last Saturday night in Washington, and the "Jersey Lily" j nd her London company will set sail for England to-day at nooq. Her tour his been fairly remunerative, although she failed to convince American theater-goers that she is an actress of ability. It is understood that. Instead of returning to this country nect year, as she had originally intended, she will make a tour of Australia under the management ot J. C. Williamsoni the well-known Australian manager. Miss Marg-aret Monk, a character actress, who had played In companies with many of the great actors since Kean's time, was found dead in her lodgings" in New York city yesterday. The coroner said death was due to natural causes. Miss Monk was about fifty years old. Illmlerr Cilrli Strike CHICAGO.

"One of my sisters calls herself the 'family Jonah,' and I believe her claim to the title, is well-grounded," said a flusteredlooking young woman with her arms full of suspiciously Hat packages. "Yes, we've been buying books, old books, and whenever Vic and I go on a book-lark, I get the worst of it. I used to think I was my own Jonah, but have decided that I'm only a shirtwaist Jonah. I buy so many misfit shirtwaists. That, of course, doesn't affect anybody but me. But Vic, as the family Jonah, does me a lot of damage. Vic always wants to manage our street car routes and I don't object; but this very day she kept me standing half an hour on a cold, windy corner waiting for a car that goes out another street, a block below. At the old book shop she pounced on two volumes which she said were Harriot Martineau's travels in America. As she didn't want them, I took them, and just now I've discovered they are odd volumes of two different travel-books. Now, 111 have to go baclc soon for the other volumes; and. of coarse, they will be gone. Somebody else, by Vic's Jonahism, will have to go through life with two other job-lot sections of Miss Martiueau's American experiences. "Vic wanted to walk home, so the put mo

1

on a car warranted, she said, to bring me in to Washington street. The car traveled all right one block then went around a curve and landed me on a turn-table more of Vic's Jonah ways. Yes, I had to get out and walk, and as I have to carry all Vic's books as well as my own because she walked I'm not at all in a good humor, not at all. "And Vic always laughs immoderately when I come home grumbling after these, her Jonah performances She enjoys other people's ridiculous conduct immensely. She gets herself into predicaments, too; but most of these she very discreetly keeps a profound secret from me." Menn for n. Day. Suggestions furnished by Table Talk to housekeepers of moderate means: Breakfast. Fruit Mapl-Flake Sugar and Cream Fish Balls Pop Overs Coffee Dinner. Onion Soup Steamed Fish Oyster Sauce Mashed Potatoes Spinach Fetticus French Dressing Wafers Cheese Suet Pudding Hard Sauce Coffee Secrets of the Toilet. Alnslee's Magazine. The secrets of the? toilet, which are partly cause and partly result, of these distortions, are such as can never be revealed to man, for as long as men are men, they can't understand them, and when woman can be brought to confess them she becomes unsexed. There are women, of course, who have revealed some of the principles of the arcana, but they have managed not to lose their sex characteristics in the telling. When a woman says: "Yes, I use a little powder for the sake of cleanliness; I use a little rouge to make me look healthier. I don't lace, but I wear a small bundle of three or four towels in winter to protect my chest, and in summer I dare not leave them ort. I am flat in the back, so I wear a small bustle, and I wear a switch because I think it is a woman's duty to her husband and children to make herself as attractive as possible" when a woman discloses her secrets thus, I am not one of those who think she is betraying the trust of her order. Rather is she revealing some of those gentle paradoxes that serve for the discipline of man. or to keep him in a proper state of agnosticism about her. She Drives Three Horses. New York Times. Miss Morosini is the only woman who has a permit to drive three horses abreast on the New York speedway. She not only understands the good points of horses, but the diseases to which they are subject, how far and how fast they should be driven and also how they should be stabled and cared for. She owns a number .of horses, and has a perfectly appointed stable at Riverdale-on-Hudson. One of her most-talked-of harnesses is made of leopard skins. The blinders, headbands and other parts of the harness are covered with leopard skin, and a whole skin covers the back of each of the two horses. : Short Skirts mal Iii Hats. Drapers Record. Tae big hat craze is at present rruch discussed among millinery people. The streets abound in "shocking examples" of the "right" hat on the wrong people1, and the question may well be asked, how long will it last? I believe that the present season will see somo reaction against very large hats, and the year will see them at least confined to their proper province as the prescriptive right of the tall woman. But I shall expect to see the big hat tide ebb further than that. By all that is reasonable and tasteful, the short skirt should do much to drive out ihe big hat. Cure for n. Cold. New Orleans Times-Tribune. Well, a sure cold-cure for "new-monia," "old monia," grip and all the rest of them, is hot water. A babe four weeks old or an adult of fourscore can take it without bad effects. For an infant, one teaspoonful of hot water every time it tries to cough or cry, till relieved. For persons, from a glass to a quart of hot water. Do not sip it. Drink it like a toper. Don't say, "I can't It will make me sick." It will, on the contrary, make you well. Simple, is it not? And excellent for the stomach withal. SHIPLOAD OF EASTER ' LILIES HAS ARRIVED Cargo from Bermuda Is Immediately Shipped Westward from New York. NEW YORK, March 22. The iirst steamship load of Easter lilies has arrived here from Bermuda. This consignment was mainly for the far West, and as soon as the vessel docked express vans transferred the flowers to the railroad stations, and they were started to their destinations. There were thousands of crates in the cargo, iequlring the most delicate handln:..?. It is expected that more of the flowers will be brought north this year than ever before. Last year's short crop created scarcity and high prices, but this season the blossoms are reported abundant. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTON.

Her range is sufficient to encompass the most difficult compositions as well as simple songs and ballads. Terhaps the most surprising quality of Mrs.' Plummer's voice is its volume, which completely filled the large auditorium. At the same time her voice Is sweet and clear and capable of the finest inflection. The programme was in four parts and of some. length. Part I consisted of the rendition of "Cavatlne" (in Knglish). from ''Carmen." Part II was made up of selections from the compositions of Rubinstein. Schumann, Fontanelies, Meyer-Helmund, Hildach and Liza Lehmann, three of them in German. Introductory to Part III, Mrs. Plummer read a few notes on the compositions of MäcDowell, from Henry T. Finck's lectures, paying the highest possible tribute to this American composer, and followed the reading with the rendition of three songs by MacDowell "Thy Beaming Eyes," "The Robin Sings in the Apple Tree"aml "The Sea." The latter song was characterized in the notes read by Mrs. Plummer as the best song written by MacDowell, the best song ever written by an American and one of the hundred best songs written by all composers.

FABRICS AND FURNITURE' UNDER ' ' ONE ROOF TEMPT THE SHOPPER Display at Ay res' s Store Embodies Everything Desired in Milady? Spring Supply List or Home Adornment

Housecleaning time being near at hand the thoughts of the housewife are turning to dreams of new furnishings and draperies. If she visits the third floor of the L. S. Ayres. & Co. store this week she will find an array of lovely things to beautify her home that will make her believe that her very best dreams have come true. The art floor of the store is having its spring showing of new things, somo of which are priceless antiques, this week, and there is all manner of beautiful and exclusive pieces of furniture, drapery and ornaments to be found there. The little green room is a treasure-house of beautiful things, its furnishings including a great chest of Italian oak wonderfully carved with watchful dragons and graceful scrolls, thrown out by the background of bright gold. The key is a fitting "open sesame" to the chest quaint and big and long, as though it were the key to untold treasures. A screen brought from Burmah is of cigar wood, cunningly carved with heads and tigures of idols and animals and a mass of lacework. In the center is hung a big röund gong with its padded stick, which serves now as a dinner gong, whatever its primal purpose may have been. A curious chair of Japanese redwood has a curly dragon for the back and the fierce head protruding at one side makes the thing fa cinating. A table of Italian walnut and a hall piece of Italian oak are elaborately carved. One of the handsomest things in the room is 'an immense mirror and table of elaborately carved Florentine design. A number of carved teakwood tables are shown, one of especial beauty having a border of carving as fine as lacework, and its support Is a trio of carved dragons. A library table of Italian walnut, handsomely carved, a pedestal of grifTln design, and a carved chandelier are among the other handsome pieces of furniture. Quite in contrast to the antique pieces is the showing of "Crex" furniture fash-, ioned from Minnesota grass. All kinds of pretty things woven from thl3 prairie grass are shown not only porch swings and rorkers and porch rugs, but fancy chairs, sctti.es of artistic design, tabourettcs, tables and footstools, all lit for the daintiest of feummer drawing rooms. When the "Crex" furniture was first introduced teveral'vears ago there was an impression that it might be satisfactory as porch furniture, but that it would have no lasting beauty or serviceability, but the furniture has proved itself far nearer to being a thing of beauty and a joy forever than even its admirers dared hope it would be. HANDSOME LAMPS SHOWN. Lamps of all designs are an important part of the showing. A number of handsome pieces of the effective llarbadienne bronze, an American bronze of exceptional artistic value, are shown. One handsome lamp is eet in a bowl of the bronze, the lamp itself an urn cf Japanese brass. Another lamp is a tall urn of East Indian design, of hammered and cut brass, surmounted by a Japanese shade. The handsome shades of flowered designs with heavyfringes of translucent beads in rich colors are special features of the department. In draperies there are the exquisite cut velours, the French tapestries and the embroidered silks. In the Aubisson tapestries some handsome vets for furniture are shown. The tapestry is entirely hand work of exquis'te design und finish and a set of a sofa and four chairs costs $2.1'. Rengaliiie silk portiers cmhroiercd in any chosen coior to order, art nowau silks double in texture and woven in artistic designs in shades of blue, green and lavender, and embroidered tapestries are shown for draperies or f-r furniture. A pretty idea in curtains has the body of silk with a border of lace and Irish applique to take the place of the more familiar lice ctwtain and its ovordrapcry. The curtains are made to older in any color. Curtains of heavy net and Irih lace of wonderful design, an 1 chamber curtains of FrencK lace and insertion are among the luce draperies.. The wnllpain rs Khown are of the latest designs, which tend toward larp.e patterns and gorg'.ous colorings.

Damasks are used for reception and drawing rooms, cut velours for libraries and halls, and tapestries for the dining rooms. A Japanese grass cloth, plaip and figured, is also among the fabrics shown for wall decoration. The showing of rugs is large and of exceptional beauty and value. A recently added feature of the art department is the portrait work done by a special artist, who works from photograph or sitter. The portraits are done chiefly in brown crayons and are very udmlrable pieces of work and the prices asked are remarkably reasonable. One portrait is a bab- picture, which was done from an Infinitesimal tintype, but which, in i-pite of the difficulty which must have attended its rendering, is a very charming little portrait.
