CAME CALLED 3:30 CABBAGE PATCH WOMAN IS RELEASED BY COURT Mrs. Marv Bass, Original of "Mrs. Wiggs' Was Justified in Resenting Intrusion. MUCH ANNOYED BY HOBOS . LOUISVILLE. Ky.. Arril 20 The female apostle of sunshine, "Mrs. Wiggs of the Cabbage Patch." who In private life answers, to the name of Mrs. Mary Bass, was dismissed by Judge McCann in the Police Court, where she made her appearance to answer the charge of throwing the contents of a slop jar on Mrs. Emily Smith, also of Louisville. Mrs. Smith claimed that her dress was ruined, her pride shattered, and that her philanthropic impulses received a shock. In dismissing- Mrs Bass the court said, in brief: "This prosecuting witness came to Mr.. Wiggs's house without invitation. The defendant has been brought into great notoriety as the result of a literarv production, and as a result has been terribly annoyed. Iter home has been invaded and the neace "d quiet of life continually, disturbed. I think that she has had Kreut provocation, and I thinic I ought to dismiss her of the charge on general principles." Mrs. Pass's testimony was given In her characteristic manner. She said- "For jnany months years. I've been continually 1 interrupted. Hoto after hobo comes to my bouse. I order 'em down and away from my place whenever I see 'em. Ther come by droves, walk around the yard, open the door. A hen they rouse me and I come to the door to fee what they want. I look upon liot a single face I know. There thev tand and look nt each other In a foolish" wav' After awhile one will say: " " 'Well, we read the book.' " Well. I will say. 'then if that's all you can git. And I make 'em git." ' Aj she left the courtroom "Mrs Wljnrs" said: "Now maybe 1 11 be able to spend my old age In peace, and maybe mv trecs'U grow out where all them memorials (souvenirs has ben pulled off. aud maybe my yard won't be full of strange people every Sunday, and 1 can move down stairs wher I used to live." 0 JULIA TEN EYCK M' BLAIR INJURED BY A HORSE Hostess of the Woman's Building at St. Louis' Fair Knocked Down.

The last entertainment of tho Dramatic Club for the season, given last night at the Propylaeum, was one of the most entertaining performances ever given by the club. The committee In charge of the evening included Dr. and Mrs. Francis Oswald Dorsey, Mr. and Mrs. Owen Morris Mothershead, Mr. and Mrs. David Percy Williams and Mr. and Mrs. Kerfoot Stewart. The play chosen was William Gillette's comedy, "All the Comforts of Home," given in three acts by a cast of eight characters. The stage was set to represent a room In a pretentious London house, and all the furnishings and appointments were handsome. The situations of the play were exceedingly amusing, the dialogue bright and sparkling, and the play moved with smoothness and spirit. The action of the comedy concerned the doings cf Alfred Hastings and his friend Tom, who. in the absence of Hastings's uncle and aunt, Mr. and Mrs. Pettljohn. were left In charge of the Pett!john home. Finding themselves short of funds, the young men concluded to advertise apartments In the house to let, "with all the comforts of home." Following out their scheme, they secured as lodgers Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Bender and their daughter Evangeline, Mr. Iangham, a typical English dude. Mile. Fill and Debnev. a musician. Flirtations resulted as a matter of course. Alfred and Evangeline fell in love. Mile. Fill and Mr. Langham were ob

ß

jects of deep Interest to each other, while Mrs. Bender, in the absence of her husband, conducted a vigorous Flirtation with Tom ami gave various champagne breakfasts und like entertainments. Mrs. Pettijohn returned to her house to rind it in the hands of roomers, and later on Mr. PettiJohn return d. took matters into his own hands and bundled them out. The funny situations provoked incessant merriment, which ended only with the fall of the curtain. But the mcst entertaining part of the play was the fact that all of the characters were taken by men. The programme was kept a profound secret, and the discovery of the men in feminine roles was a complete surprise to the club members. Mr. Norman Peek, as Mrs. Bender, was brilliant ami dashing; his gowns were exceedingly handsome, and when he added a stunning evening coat and a picture hat he was irresistible. Mr. George Denny was Evangeline, sweet and winning in a simple little frock of white serge. Mr. Gilbert Hurty. is Mile. Fin. was especially good, and his clever acting was enhanced bv the daintiness of his toilets, while Mr. Victor Judah Brandon, as a typical English woman, wore a thirtwuh-t tuit. neat, but not gaudy. The other roles, all of which were creditably acted, were tilled by Mr. William Winter as Alfred Hastings. Mr. Owen Mothershead as Mr. Bonder, Mr. McBcth as Mr. Langham. Mr. Joseph Hall as Debney, and Dr. Ray Newcomb a Tom. Mr. Harry Porter was stage manager and directed the play. Following the play there was the usual supper and dance. A number of out-of-town guests were present with the club members. MAY DAY PARTY FOR CHILDREN. The Day Nursery Association will give a party this afternoon at Tomlinson Hall for the children.

Andrew Carnegie. London Sketch. Thoso who have tho honor of her acquaintance are well aware tlutt Mrs. Andrew Carnegie herself possesses a very strong, though thoroughly feminine personality, andthat many of her distinguished husband's schemes for benefiting his fellow-creatures have been, if not actually evolved, greatly assisted by her shrewd intellect and kindly heart. Mrs. Carnegie has a very retiring personality, but, in spite of her look of youth, she was before her marriage personally concerned with various New York philanthropic societies, and as Miss Louise Whitfield she was well known as a worker among the poor of America's greatest business city. A Whitfield went over in the Mayflower and so Mrs. Carnegie may claim to be in a true sense an old Colonial dame. The great millionaire and his wife have but one child, little Margaret Carnegie, and their happiest months each year are spent with her nt Ski bo Castle, the beautiful place in Sutherland which has now been for a long time the great ironmaster's chosen home. Mrs. Carnegie entertained tho King at Skibo on two occasions, but she and her husband avoid society, in the ordinary sense of the word, and are ejuite content to entertain only their intimate friends and those strangers who are honestly interested in the many charitable, political and social schemes to which the master of Skibo Castle is devoting the active evening of his days. Why She Kept Her Servants. Washington Post. Why some women don't have trouble with servants is a thing not understood of the women who do, and there would be no use in my trying to point a moral in this little tale. One of my friends was engaged one day not long ago to go to a tea with a Washington woman whose husband's fame as a member of Congress Is second only to hers as the possessor of an inspired cook. As my friend reached the house she saw the family carriage, in all Its subdued glory, with two men on the box at the door. Down the steps of the mansion came one of the congressman's secretaries. He had a valise and a bandbox in his hand. In his wake came a large African lady in a state of evident perturbation. Tho footman opened the carriage door for her, the secretary handed her luggage In and assisted her to enter. Then he took his seat beside her, the door was closet! and the carriage dashed off. My friend was" admited to the presence of the lady of the house. "Oh." said the lady, " you won't mind waiting a little, will you? Cook Just had a telegram announcing the serious illness of her sister. I was afraid she'd miss the train if she took the car, so I sent the carriage and Mr. So-and-So to see that she gets her tickets and takes the right train. I've Just telephoned for a cab, and as soon as it comes you and I'll go." And yet some women persist In tleclaring that the reason why that woman never knows what trouble with servants is, is that she was born lucky. ' Patriotic Finnish Women. Everybedy's Magazine. Patriotism in Finland Is not confined to the men. Daughters, wives and mothers are active in the cause' of liberty. For example, nearly all the secret agents of the National party are young women of tho best families, and It 4s they who outwit the Russian censors and assume risks of distributing forbidden literature. The prohibited writings are printed In Stockholm and London, and the women go after the papers, bring them into Finland in their trunks at great hazard, and distribute them throughout, the country. To be discovered in this work would mean deportation to Siberia with the hundreds of other women thus banished for less cause. 31m. Mnry Kenyon Demi. Mrs. Mary Kenyon. wife of I. L. Kenyon, died yesterday morning at her home near Ben Davis, her death being due to liver trouble. She left two children. Omera Kenyon ami Mrs. Earle Rybolt. of this city.

GARDNER CRANE. In the Vaudeville Ulli at the Grand. In the Theaters To-Day' Schedule. GRAND High-class vaudeville, 2:15 and S:15 p. m. PARK "A Montana Outlaw," 2 and S p. m. - EMPIRE Burlesque, 2 and S p. m. UNIQUE-Variety, Z and S p. m. Muude AiIuiiik'm KiiKHKemen t. Next Wednesday evening will bring Maude Adams to Indianapolis for the first time in two years. Her appearance at English's is for one night only, and the charming actress will again be seen in James M. Barrie's beautiful play, "The Little Minister," in which she has scored her greatest success. Miss Adams has occupied a conspicuous place in the dramatic firmament for the past five or six years, and is known to bo a very remarkable young woman. She has won the plaudits of the theatergoing public wherever she has been seen and is acknowledged to be an actress of rare gifts and a woman of great brilliancy. By her art she has undoubtedly charmed millions of people who nave seen her from across the footlights. She has been associated with some of the greatest successes connected with modern stage productions, and has, for one of her ye'ars. a long list of triumphs to her credit. She has been seen in many roles, from comedy to tragedy, and has acejuitted herself with marked credit in every respect. Those who have seen her are emphatic in saying that she possesses a most distinct personality and has the unconscious faculty of drawing people toward her to a degree that has oftentimes been described as marvelous. The western portion of the United States, where Miss Adams has never been seen as a star, can well be proud of her, because it -was almost in the heart of the Rockies that she first saw the light of day. She is a native of Salt Lake City. She went East when a little girl and there began her dramatic career. During the six years that Miss Adams has been a star she has seldom gone out of the Eastern cities, so great is her popularity in those centers. The Death of IVllllnm Broderlck. William Broderick, one of the best known opera singers on the American stage, dropped dead yesterday at the Burnett House, in Cincinnati, of heart disease. Mr. Broderick was seen in Indianapolis last week at English's, appearing with Francis Wilson and the all-star cast In the beautiful revival of the comic opera "Erminie." He played Iiis old character of Ravennes. the bold robber, singing and acting the role In faultless style, his rich voice adding greatly to the general effect of the opera. The review of the performance which appeared in the Journal last Friday Included this paragraph concerning the distinguished singer's share in the production: "A perfect performance of the role of Ravennes was given by William Broderick, who is not only one of the best of comic opera bassos, but also one of the best actors In his line of work. He looked like a character that had Just stepped forth from a Cruikshank edition of Dickens's "Nicholas Nickleby," and his acting was really superb. Although Mr. Broderick has never headed an opera company, he was one of the brightest stars of the many in the cast." The sudden death of Mr. Broderick will be a great shock to the dramatic profession throughout America, as he "was one cf the most popular men on the operatic stnge. Although not the creator of the role of Ravennes in "Ermlnie," he had become almost as closely Identified with the part as Mr. Wilson has become Identified with the comic character of "Caddy," the grotesque robber. Mr. Broderick has played important roles in the support of many operatic stars, and was noted for his ability not only as a vocalist, but as an unusually good actor. He was about forty years old. Theatrical .ntea At the New York Casino last Monday night there were three important changes in the cast of "Piff, Paff, Pouf." Thos. Q. Seabrooke succeeded Joseph Miron in the role of August Molon, a flirtatious widower with four marriageable daughters; Frederick Mace succeeded George Wiseman In the role of Joe Silver, the much abused husband of Bedelia, and Frauces Gibson assumed the role of Rose Molon. formerly played by Amelia Stone, and Miss Gibson made her first appearance on Broadway, coming direct from the Tivoli in San Francisco, to play the prima donna role at the Casino. She has a voice of singular sweetness and wonderful range, and as she is an actress of talent, she won the audience with ease. Mr. Seabrooke was remarkably smooth for a first night performance and the musical play readily yielded more laughs. He was particularly happy in his second act song, "Corelelia Maline." Mr. Mace, who succeeded Mr. Seabrooke in "A Chinese Honeymoon," at the beginning of last season, made Joe Silver an unctuously funny character that added materially to the effectiveness cf the play. The Grand will bring its vaudeville, season to a close next week with an entertainment that gives promise of being a very satisfactory one in every respect. The bill will be made up as follows: McWatersand Tyson in their original comedy creation, "Scenes In a Dressing Room," introducing many bright sings, dances and imitations; Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes in a new farce entitled "A Matrimonial Substitute," which is credited with being a very amusing little sketch; Eckhoft and Gordon, wellknown musical entertainers; Lloyd and Waltone, in a high-class singing specialty; Mile. Latina, who is known as "the physical culture girl;" Fred Stuber, the celebrated banjoist, and last, but by no means least, Harry Howard's wonderful performing ponies and dogs. The present week's programme has been one of the best of the season and will be given its last two performances to-day before large audiences. . The Empire has enjoyed a very successful week, the "Blue Ribbon Burlesquers" presenting a musical travesty and vaudcvill show that is above the average. The engagement will conclude to-day and lovers of this kind of theatrical entertainment will do well to "take In" the show. Next season this company, which Is under the management of James Hyde, of Brooklyn, will make a special feature of a new song entitled "My Island Queen," written by George J. Mayes, of San Francisco, in conjunction with Iouis Wcslyn. the Indianapolis song writer. The song has just been given its first trial in San Francisco at Fisher's Music Hall and has proved Immensely successful. Manager Singer. Mr. Hyde's business representative on the road, now has the piece in rehearsal and Is going to put it on the stage with a big chorus of pretty girls in South Sea island costumes. 4 Collin Kemper, of the firm of Wagenhals & Kemper, theatrical managers, was a passenger on the steamer Kronz Prinz Wilhelm, which arrived in New York the day before yesterday.

The playwill be Englished by George R. Simms. Mr. Kemper, while in Italy, had a charming visit with the' tragedienne, Madame Ilistori, who still remembers her many friends In America. It is not certain just when a new play will be wanted to succeed "The Arm of the Law," at the London Garrick Theater, as the English version of the Brleux drama Is successful, in spite of its gloom, but it will be a new comedy by W. S. Gilbert, says the Dramatic Mirror. This has been in preparation for some time, under peculiar circumstances. While the company is rehearsing the stage door is locked and the iron curtain Is lowered, the object bein to prevent any knowledge of the plot and dialogue of Mr. Gilbert's work from getting out. Mr. Gilbert believes firmly In maintaining the secret of his story, so that it shall be a completely novel disclosure at the first performance. The dramatic novelty of the week In New York Is "Tit for Tat," which Is being presented at the Savoy Theater, with Miss Bessie Tyree in the chief female character.

DC )Q DC This is an Anglicized and professedly disinfected edition of 'Heureuse," a piece by Maurice Hennequln and Taul Bilhaud, in which Madame ReJane won the favor of the Parisians. The general nature of It is sufficiently suggested by the title. Franklin Tyler, who Is one of the most entertaining writers on theatrical topics In New York, has furnished the Journal with a bright review of this play, to be published tomorrow. London is about to lose Its stock negto minstrel company in consequence of the coming destruction of St. James's Hall In Piccadilly, where for more than forty years Moore & Burgess's mlntrels have performed. The troupe was started soon after the visit of the famous "Christy's" lights of the "burnt cork" entertainment, and to this day a performance is given nightly at St. James's Hall, and on the good, oid lines, too, with none of the embellishments provided by troupes which have appeared at home in recent years. But two productions are on the regular list at the Park "A Royal Slave" and "Kidnaped In New York," but the season of this theater does not close until June 4. Following the regular bills, the Holden Dramatic Company will come for an engagement of four weeks, when it will revive some pretentious plays. "The Christ'.an" and "Blue Jeans" may be among them. "A Montana Outlaw" closes Its engagement at the Tark to-night. MUSIC LOVERS HEAR THE BALDVINPIAHO PLAYER Excellent Programme, of Instrumental and Vocal Music Draws Audience of 500. The rooms occupied by the D. II. Baldwin Tiano Company, at the corner of Ohio and Pennsylvania streets, presented a beautiful appearance last night when, for tho first time since the recent extensive improvements were completed, they were thrown open. Five hundred music lovers enjoyed a recital given by Miss Mary Conrey, a talented soprano soloist of Cincinnati, and Hugh McGibeny, the well-known Indianapolis violinist. Edward E. Roberts, of Cincinnati, presided at the Baldwin piano player. The whole interior of the Baldwin store has been remodeled. The light shade effect produced by two tints of green on the walls and a cream ceiling is very effective, and makes the store one of the lightest in the city. One hundred and fifty incandescent lights set around the edges of two large concave ovals in the ceiling add to the general appearance of the store's interior. For the first time the Baldwin piano player was exhibited in Indianapolis, and its reception was most flattering, considering the critical character of the audience. Mr. Roberts gave an artistic demonstration of the possibility of executing the most, difficult music by means of this purely mechanical contrivance. It was also used In playing the accompaniments for Miss Conrey. E. G. Hereth. manager of the local branch of the Baldwin stores, expressed himself as being greatly pleased at the reception accorded the piano player. The opening will continue through this afternoon and evening. INDIA'S LIFE AND .ART ' IS' THEME OF LECTURE V. A. Perry Delivers Second of Series of Lectures at Benjamin Ilarnson School.

WASSON & CO. 0 DCDO DC MRS, BARRETT'S PLAN FOR LESSENING SOCIAL EVIL Chief Topic Discussed at Closing Session of the Crittenton Mission Conference. SUPERVISION IS URGED WASHINGTON. April 23. The closing of the conference of the National Florence Crittenton Mission wa3 held to-night. Its chief feature was a discussion by Mrs. Kate V. Barrett of "What Can Be Done to Lessen the Social Evil?" Mrs. Barrett has had many years of work In the field covered by the Mission? Briefly, htr suggestions were: First Stop the sale of liquor In disorderly houses. Second Establish close police supervision and authority over such places. Third Require a record to be kept of every inmate of a disorderly house, giving her age, history, so far as obtainable, condition, etc. "Fourth Require that all recruits, beforo being permitted to enter a disorderly house, shall report to the chief of police. "Fifth Make it posslole for a girl to earn an honest living." ' While not advocating that police supervision and authority should be carried to the extent it 13 In some foreign cities where the social evil is a legally-recognized institution. Mrs. Barrett held that a certain degree of this supervision and authority with its necessary accompaniment or segregation must be provided. In no ther way, she said, can the problem be dealt with successfully. At the St. Louis exposition Mr. Crittenton will hold a series of evangelistic meetings, and Mrs. Barrett will be present with a couple of active workers to aid unfortunate women. At the day session Dr. Tabor Johnson and Dr. A. D. Thomas discussed the opportunity of the Christian physician to aid unfortunate girls.
