Variety, 3 and 8 p. in. 1 The Vaudeville nt the firnnd. The programme at the Grand this week ' covers a wide range almost the entire field of vaudeville art. There are some acts on the bill that fall below the merit of the others, but, taken as a whole, the en- ; tcrtainment is a gcod one the best, in fact, j that the Grand has had to offer irr several weeks. Music, comedy, farce, magic, dancing, minstrelsey, acrobatics and gymnastics j all find places in the performance. It some- j times happens that tho advertised headliners" of a vaudeville show are not so deserving of the place of honor in the bill as arc other specialties that have not been announced in big. bold type, and such ia the case thi- week. In point of actual merit. T. Nelson Downa i3 the bright, particular star of the entertainment. As a sleight-of-hand performer he i3 in a class all, by himself. Comparisons are odious, perhaps, but they are Inevitable, and It is due this young man to award him the highest praise by saying that, in the art of palming coins and cards, he is more skillful than either the late Alexander Hermann or the present Harry Kellar. which means that he 13 the greatest of all experts in this line df endeavor. His specialty is a most astonishing one and is all the more interesting because he uses no mechanical contrivances in giving his exhibition, depending solely upon his wonderful dexterity at sleight-of-hand. He scored the most pronounced success of the bill at the opening performances yesterday and certainly deserved all of the applause he received. Eddie Garvie and Mollie Thompson appear in a mixture of farce, imitations and instrumental music. Miss Thompson is clever with the musical bells and her travesty of an "East Side Girr is well done, although she is suffering with such a cold that her voice is not pleasing to hear. Mr. Garvie is funny in his imitation of a song-and-dance man and the satire which he and Miss Thompson give, picturing a variety show team of twenty years ago, is very amusing. An unusually strong dancing act Is presented by Young and Devole, who were last seen in this city with the ill-fated "Blue Beard" Company. These

young people are among the best terpsichorean artists now before the public. -Mr. Young was the dancing master in the big extravaganza, besides playing one of the leading male parts in the piece, and in Miss Devoie -he has a pupil who is quite his equal in certain styles of dancing. Many acts of this sort arc to.be seen in vaudeville, but few of them are on a par with the one given by this couple. They are really entitled to the third place of honor on the bill. Menifee Johnson and Belle Stoddart are two good-looking young players with considerable ability as farceurs, and if they but had the proper vehicle they would prove splendid entertainers. Their present sketch was written by Edmund Day and is called "The Golden Rose." Now, Mr. Day can write pretty good material when he feels Inspired, but he wasn't inspired when he turned out this one. The "playlet" starts off supidly and although Mr. Johnson and his fair partner work hard to make it attractive, the odds are against them, for there is little that is worth while in the piece. The more one sees of these vaudeville sketches, by the way, the more does one become convinced that there is a glorious future In store for the writer who can invent some really meritorious "playlets." , A fine gymnastic exhibition Is given by Orville and Frank, some of their feats being of such a daring nature that they cause the more timid folk in the audience decided uneasiness. The Marco Twins, a team from tho London music halls, cause a great deal of merriment with an act that is grotesque in the extreme. One of the "twins" is a long, lean contortionist, the other is a midget. Their specialty consists mainly in knocking each other about the stage. Like most of the European clown acts it is very childish, but the audience appears to enjoy it hugely all the same. This specialty and the "Bijou Circus." given by Burto, Lowande and Wilson, with the assistance of some ponies and dogs, will appeal to the little folks who visit tho theater this week. The circus performance .will be particularly pleasing to children. ' Lew Hawkins, the burnt-cork monologulst and parody singer, is the only "single entertainer" on the programme. He is mentioned last here because he does not pretend to progress. He told some stories yesterday that were old many years ago. Those in the audience who had never heard the oldtimers before laughed at the jests, for Hawkins knows how to tell funny stories, but there were many in the theater who groaned Inwardly upon being obliged to listen to such ancient yarns. The bioscope, as usual, winds up the programme with a series of moving pictures. "East Lynnc" nt the Park. The old, old story of "East Lynne" was retold at the Park yesterday to a largo audience In the afternoon and an assembly of moderate size in the evening. The play, which seems to have lost none of its attraction for many theater-goers, has been seen In Indianapolis times out of number. It was presented at the Park last fall by the same company that opened a halfweek's engagement yesterday, the present cast being the same, with but two or three exceptions, as the one which interpreted the old piece during the earlier engagement. Inez Forman is, again seen as the foolishly Jealous Lady Isabel, a part she has been playing for several seasons. She has the right conception of the character for öhe makes Isabel a poor, weak, silly sort of creature in the early scenes of the playJust the sort of woman who would have made so much ado about nothing. Miss Forman's one great fault is that, in her efforts to be natural, she suppresses her voice to such an extent that her words can scarcely be heard beyond the first ten rowj of orchestra chairs. Park audiences are accustomed to loud-voiced heroines and thev find it somewhat difficult to take the right amount cf interest in this soft-spoken person. The role of the hero, Archibald Carlyle, is well taken by a handsome young actor, Cellmont S. Barkland, who is the sort of chap from which matinee idols are made. Besides being a good leading man he possesses a sweet baritone voice which la heard to advantage in the old-time ballad, "Then You'll Remember Me," which was" borrowed from the opera of "Bohemian Girl" when "East Lynne" had its original production ages ago. Mr. Barkland handles the character of Archibald as well as could be expected, and reads the newspapers as faithfully as of old. What an inveterate newspaper reader Archibald is, anyway! He reads 'em on all occasions, and. utter all, it is hardly to be wondered at that poor Lady Isabel goes almost out of her head with exasperation when she tries to talk to him. The moment Isabel has something to impart to him, what does Archie On but become absorbed in the latest report from London or a bit of inconsequential gossip from nowhere In particular? If the matter should be sifted to the bottom it would probably be found that it was Archie's penchant - for reading when he should have been love-making that drove his wife away from home with the wicked Sir Francis Lovison. John Dillon, the veteran comedian, plays the character of the old servant and injects considerable humor into the nart, and Vernon Somers does well in the role of Sir Francis Ievison. A new-comer in the company is Miss Avis Lobdell, who gives a good performance of Barbara Hare, and the other leading roles are acceptably filled by Madeline Winthrop. Jeffrey Frazor and Phillip James. The play will continue it the Park until Thursday and will then be followed by the uproarious musical farce, "The Katzenjammer Kids." Hurleaquc nt the Empire. After having two weeks of poor entertainment at the Empire the patrons of that house welcomed the Transatlantic Burlesquers, this week's attraction, with two crowded houses yesterday. The company far surpasses the ones that were at the same theater the two weeks previous. The Transatlantics comprise some funny comedians, good dancers and singers, a bevy of pretty and shapely girls and an olio that is fnr above the avernge. The entertainment opens with a merry musical burlesque entitled "Two Hot Knights" with Just a trifie of an excuse for giving it that title, but plenty of opportunity for Interpolated songs and dancing. The company is one of the best costumed that has been seen here this season und Is also very well drilled. The principal funmakers in the "first part" are William Mitchell. Frank Taylor. Phil Gotthold. Ben Jensen and John J. Cain. Ethel Cope, "queen of burlesque," possesses a shapely figure, but her voice yesterday uft-

BKLLK STODDAIID. Sow Appearing in a Sketch at the Grand. ernoon sounded as if it had been floodbouryj. Blanche Davenport. Josie Barrows, Josie Kline and Florinne Sweetman hael the principal characters among the women. The burlesque was a continuation of the "first part." Ben Jensen opened the olio with some of his own songs. Miss Belle Veola, verypretty and graceful, failed to make a good impression with her songs, but she is a very clever dancer and a good contortionist. Josie Kline and Phil Gotthold entertained the crowd with a sketch entitled "A Medical Discovery." Miss Florinne Sweetman and her "frogs" (chorus girls) were among the big hits of the programme. Miss Sweetman is pretty and has a sweet voice, and her "frogs" are the most comely of the entire chorus. Mitchell Cain caused considerable laughter with a lot of nonsense. The Farrel-Taylor Trio present their old sketch. "The Minstrel Man." Josie and Willie Barrows conclude the olio with an attractive dancing and singing specialty. Another Indianapolis Prima Donna. Another Indianapolis soprano is to become a comic opera prima elonna. Mrs. George Edwin Hunt, who has been studying music in New York for the last six months, has been engaged by Manager Henry W. Savage to create the role of the Nightingale in the new musical extravaganza, "Woodland," by Gustave Luders and Frank Tixley, which is to have its production In Boston this spring. Mrs. Hunt was given a "voice trial" last week before Mme. Cottrelly and Mr. Odell, the voice testers for Manager Savage, and was engaged immediately after for the Savage forces. The manager wanted her to go to London with the "Prince of Filsen" company that sails for the British metropolis the latter part of April, but as Mrs. Hunt wished to remain in this country she was assigned to the cast of the forthcoming "Woodland" production. Before her marriage to Dr. Hunt, of this city, Mrs. Hunt was in comic opera. She was then known as Ida Brooks, and had three years of stage experience. Her voice, under careful training, has greatly improved, and it is believed by her many Indianapolis friends that she will score a great success upon her return to the footlights. Theatrical Note. Six more new musical comedies are to be brought out in this country before the end of the theatrical year. George Ade's latest effort, "The Sho-Gun," is now having its "try-out" in Milwaukee before going into Chicago for a run; Richard Carle's new piece, "The Maid and the Mummy," will soon be produced in Chicago; "The Chinese Doll." by Harry B. Smith and Alfred Aarons, will be given Its initial performance next Monday night in Philadelphia; the new Pixley-Luder's extravaganza, "Woodland." will be produced In Boston by Manager Savage on the first of May; "The Man from China." in which Charlie Blgelow is to star, will be put on at the Majestic in New Y'ork about the middle of May, and Theodore Northrup's musical farce. "Hawaii," will be given a New York presentation, within the next six weeks. It has been several years since Nat C. Goodwin was seen in "A Gilded Fool," the comedy by Henry Guy Carlton In which the favorite comedian will appear to-morrow night at English's. The character of Chauncey Short fits him perfectly and it is doubtful if he has ever had a part in which he has been seen. to better advantage. Mr. Goodwin's appearance in the Carlton play will be welcomed by local theater-goers because of the fact that in returning to "A Gilded Fool" Goodwin will again enact a light comedy part the kind of character in which he shines. He is said to be surrounded by a very good company, which includes Chrystal Herne, Neil O'Brien and Hugo Toland. The seats for the one performance are now selling at English's box office. f f The full cast for De Wolf Hopper's New York revival of the comic opera, "Wang," has been completed and the rehearsals are oing forward merrily. There will be six of the original cast in the new production De Wolf Hopper, Frank Casey, Augustus Barratt, Augustus Coletti, Marion Singer and Agnes Reilly. Miss Rllly was the little girl who appeared in the green costume in one of the scenes and spoke her lines with such a charming Irish accent. She married the composer of the opera, Woolson Morse, and has not been seeu on the stage since. There is to be a real elephant in the piece this time, instead of the big "property affair" that Hopper formerly used In the production. Seats for the Rogers Brothers' engagement will be placed on sale at English's to-day. The popular German comedians come to that theater the latter part of the week for performances Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday afternoon. Klaw and Erlanger have secured a company of sixty-six people to support the stars in the latest McNally musical vaudeville, "The Rogers Brothers in London," rnd the claim is made that never before has a show of this class b en given such a magniflcant scenic and costume investiture. The musical numbeis of the piece are said to be especially bright and attractive this year. They were composed by Max Hoffman and Melville Ellis. Edna Wallace Hopper has decided to go Into vaudeville and will make her debut as a star In this line of entertainment next week at the Orpheum Theater fu Brooklyn. She will appear in a musical sketch in which she will enact several parts a sketch that she recently tried, with considerable succihs, at a benefit for the Actors' Fund in New York. Little Mrs. Hopper Is to receive $1,000 a week. The fifth death in nine weeks in the Daly family of theatrical people occurred in Boston yesterday when Thomas Daly, a brother of Dan Daly, the comedian who died in New York Saturday night, passed away. Although Robert Daly has not been an actor for several years he has several children on the stage. Women Oppone School Collection. A committee from the Local Council of Women, composed of Mrs. E. J.

Mrs. Philip Rappaport and Mrs. Theodore Barnes will go before the Board of School Commissioners to-night to present a resolution approved and adopted at the last meeting of the Local Council.

March CI The marriage of Miss Elizabeth Wesley, of Evansvllle, and Mr. W. D. Lawrence, of this city, occurred in this city Thursday evening, but did not become public until this ntterncon. Miss Wesley had Come here to visit her sister, Mrs. C. G. Prather, and while here she and her sweetheart elcjrtded to have the ceremony performed, although the wedding had been arranged to take place next July. Shopping SuKKeslions. A pretty idea in jet trimmings is shown on a hat of pale blue lace straw finished off by a pale blue aigrette. The straw, which is as fine as a silk lace, is dotted all over with tiny jet beads sewed on a invisible thread and the effect given is of dozens of French knots a valuable effect in thi3 day when handwork is used for the elaboration of all articles of wear. A wide belt of French kid, white or colored, trimmed with rows of gold braid and finished by a gilt buckle, sells for $3. The belts are narrowed in the front by means of a straight length of the leather on which the wider belt is plaited and stitched. Plainer belts of suede in all colors are very wide and have leather color covered buckles, giving a more severe tailor-made effect. One of the quaintest and prettiest of the new silk coats is of dark blue taffeta, which, while not changeable, has a silvery theen that comes near a changeable effect. The coat is very full and is belted snugly at the waist. A stole shaped band of Persian embroidery finishes the neck and the front and the drooping shoulder effect is attained by narrow ruffles set at slanting intervals on the shoulders. The coat is distinctly 1S30 in effect and clamors for a poke bonnet as accompaniment. The long watch chain has returned to favor and one may now expect to see lovely woman's watch tucked away into her belt or swinging free attached only to the end of the chain, instead of dependent from the tried and true brooch. The chains themselves have not been "out," so one cannot say that they are "in" again, but it is something of a novelty to see thera attached to watches instead of to the mirror or the lorgnette. The novelty clock shown by one jeweler has the charm of simplicity and saves the wear and tear on the intellect that the Roman numerals and their intervals sometimes cause, even in the case of experienced time-tellers. The arrangement is rather after the nature of a calender and the clock has two sets of white cards, on which are printed big black figures, the upper set for the hour, the lower for the minutes. The case is small and trim and the little novelty is so convenient that it will probably prove popular. JohnM Coffee Pot. The various occult 'ways In which men are managed by their wives are now and then artlessly revealed to the public on the street corners. "Yes, I've been down to mother's for a week," said a bright-looking, black-eyed lady, who was waiting for a car, to another alert-faced lady. "John didn't mind my being away. We haven't anj' cook just now, but as we live in a fiat he could get his own breakfast as well as not and take his other meals down town. John can make better coffee than I can. I always play a trick on him when I leave him to his own devices, though I buy him a 10cent coffee pot. My good one cost $2.50, and one time when I was away John burned the bottom out of It. He put it right in on the coals, and then forgot it while he was reading his newspaper. Tencent coffee piits are plenty good enough for John, but bless his nice, old, thick head, he doesn't know it." 31 en 11 for a Day. Suggestions furnished by Table Talk to housekeepers of moderate means: Breakfast. Fruit Tettijohn Sugar and Cream Frizzled Beef Potato Cakes Diamonds Coffee Lunch. Rice with Ham Tomato Sauce Crullers Tea Dinner. Campbell's Mock Turtle Soup Tongue Croquettes Bearnalse Sauce Mashed Potatoes Creamed Cabbage Fettius French Dressing Wafers Cheese Corn Starch Blanc Manga Coffee Curing; for the Old. Harper's Weekly. One thing is very hard for us to realize, and that is that old people, though so childlike in many ways in innocence, in lovableness, often, too. In eager interest in the activities going on about them are not at all childlike in one important particular they are not teachable. Nor is this their fault, but the fault of old age itself, of that hardening of the tissues of brain and nerve which constitutes old age. The spirit dwelling within may be gently meek and full of humility and wisdom, but the organism no longer nimbly responds. A sort of slow petrification is going on, and, although Jn noble natures this process results in preserving thoughts and feelings of fernlike delicacy in imperishable beauty, yet it does not lend itself to the reception of new impressions. The central growth may go on, and new ideas arhich harmonize with tho old may be received into the organism, but surface things, such as daily habits, set beyond alteration. A Japanese Game. Good Housekeeping. A very popular game Is kotoro. In this there is a long line of children, one behind another, each holding to the child in front of him. The biggest boy, who is the leader, is at the head of the line, and at the end Is the smallest boy. Then there is a big boy, the catcher, who tries to seize the little fellow at the end of the line. It is the duty of the leader to face the catcher constantly, and so prevent him from running to the end of the line and grabbing the small boy. As the leader moves so must the whole line, and his constant jumping and running about to face the catcher keeps the children in lively action. A Pretty Illumination. New York Sun. One of the prettiest conceits In the electrolier line was seen recently at a luncheon. From the center of a bowl of tulips on the table glowed as many electric lights through the yellow transparency. The tulips were artificial, but they looked real, both in texture and coloring. A baby bulb about the size of an egg was used inside each tulip, and the effect was charming with the yellow and white decoration. Mrs. CnrncKle'a Timtc. New York Times. Mrs. Andrew Carnegie cares little or nothing for Jewels. When she goes out to a function or to the opera she sometimes wecrs pearls, but these are not of fabulous size or price. They are extremely modest and afford quite a contrast to the jewels which some women wear. At best Mrs. Carnfgie does not care for functions or society in general. She makes & delightful hostess at Sklbo Castle, where she has received royalty. She is very simple and unaffected. Her Choice. Atchison Globe. An Atchison man admired a girl and became engaged to her. They were both fond of going- to the theater and before their engagement went a good deal. He told her they would either have to give up the theater to fave for getting married or else put off getting married, and gave her her choice; she chosa the theater.

PRINCESS ALICE SAID TO HAVE Belgian Accused of Having Secured Necklace from Paris Jeweler. PARIS, March 28. No confirmation is obtainable here of the rumor from Sorl, Italy, that Princess Alice De Courbon, daughter of Don Carlos, the pretender to the Spanish throne, who is sojourning at Sori, had been robbed of a historical necklace valued at $:C0,0X. The authorities of this city are making Inquiries into the matter. The Petit Temps prints an interview which Don Jaime, brother of Princess Alire De Bourbon, is alleged to have given the Warsaw Courier on the subject of the historical necklace of which the princess is reported to have been robbed. According to this interview the necklace was fraudulently obtained March 11 last, from a Paris jeweler to whom it had been entrusted for repairs. The person who obtained the necklace, according to the interview, is a Belgian who acted as an Intermediary between the princess and the jeweler and who persuaded the latter by showing correspondence that he had authority to receive it. It is believed the prince is alleged to have said that the Belßlan. who disappeared, passed tho necklace to persons in England. H0IEE DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY MANTOX.

This one allows a choice of the plain blouse or the cape collar that Is extended at the back and does away with the overbroad effect that so often is found. The model Is made of royal blue cheviot stitched with corticelli silk and trimmed with fancy braid, , but it is adapted to all seasonable suitings and the finish can be anything the wearer may prefer.

INDIANAPOLIS GIRL CATCHES TWO CATFISH IN HER CELLAR Converts Basket Into Seme and Successfully Traps Her Prizes Twenty-Second-Street Incident

"Great Scot! What's that?" shrieked a young woman who lives on Twenty-second street, as she descended the cellar stairs. Twenty-second street residences suffered by the recent rise of Fall creek and the forcing of the water bnck through the sewer Into cellars.

The floor was still covered with water four or flvr? inehtM deep. She took another step towards the bottom. Suddenly she saw something dait across the floor into a pile of kindling in a corner. Then she shrieked: "What's that?" she repeated as her mother answered her call. "Perhaps It is a rat," she added, as the water churned about the pile of kindling. "Too snaky-looking for a rat, replied the mother. "I'm going to find out." said the young woman, as she seized a stick, gathered her skirts in one hand and boldly waded toward the kindling pile. Sho has sound nerves and the cry of "mice;" docs not usually create in her more than a mild shock. Ah she poked the kindling wood with the stick the water churned again, but she caught an outline of the moving animal. "Why, mother. It 13 only a sh!" she exclaimed, as she waded back to the steps.
