GRAND. High-class vaudeville, 2:15 and S:lo p. m. I'ARK. "A Royal Slave." 2 and 8 p. m, KMPIKK.-nurlpqu 2 and 8 p. m. UNIQUE. Variety, 3 and S p. m. The Vaudeville at the Grnntl. The vaudeville programme that has been prepared for the Grand's concluding week of the season of is one of the most enjoyable entertainments offered at that popular amusement house in a Ions time. The bill 13 particularly well "balanced, the specialty acts being, for the most part, the very best of their kind, and there is no clashing between any of them on account of similarity. A Jollier act tharr the one furnished by the stars of the programme, McWatters and Tyson, has rarely been seen on the stage. The.se performers am. not possessed of extraordinary talent, but they have the ability, fo desirable in vaudeville entertainers, to inject a great amount of dash and vim into their work. Mr. McWatters sings, dances, gives character imitations and mimics the late Alexander Herrmann, the well-known magician, while .Miss Tyson warbles some ditties in a voice so loud that it would be a credit to Mrs. Johnny Ray, makes funny faces that would put Klfie Kay to shame and produces shrill noises through her teeth that would cause Hindlings' monkeys to die of green envy. And then, as a finale to the specialty, two of Miss Tyson' sisters put in an appearance and assist the leading entertainers in a pretty song and dance, in which an elaborate stage setting forms a striking feature. Taken as a whole the act is an uncommonly good one and it is bound to score a big hit throughout the week. There are several acts that might well be allotted the second honors of the bill. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Hughes, who have just returned from a successful trip through the Knglish music halls (their engagement at the Grand is their tirst sinee they landed in America) present a little farce that is quite funny, but just a tritle too long drawn-out. The plot of the piece verges on the indelicate, but the dialogue and situations are so well handled by both players that no offense is given except to the most prudish auditor. Mrs. Hughes does some really excellent farcical acting in the course of the playlet, while Mr. Hughes provides amusement in a quiet sort of way. The Four Rianos offer a grotesque comedy acrobatic specialty that has been seen at the Grand betöre, but which 'has undergone several improvements and is to be counted among the best things of its kind before the public. Two of the members of the troupe are made up to resemble apes, and their antics are very comical, while the other Rianos, who appear as a zoological professor and a servant girl, help greatly in provoking mirth. This act and the cxhibitiou given . by Harry Howard's performing ponies' and dogs are splendid drawing cardä for young playgoers and will delight many children this week. The ponies "and dogs are bright little animals and they exeente their drills and tricks as if they thoroughly enjoyed the work. Uckhoff and Gordon contribute a good specialty a mixture of instrumental music and comedy, with " everything in favor of the music. Mr. Eckhoff is not a bad comedian, by no means, but he is a much better musician and his playing of the brass and reed instruments is better than is usually to be heard in vaudeville. He has one novel instrument a combination of tuba and trombone which he plays in an exceedingly clever manner. A pleasing singing act is .given by Lloyd and Waltone, who render old and new ballads in a style that wins applause. Miss Waltone's voice is of an unusual baritone quality and it is somewhat amusing when Mr. Lloyd makes love to her in one verse of a sentimental song and she comes back at him in the next with a masculine voice that suggests anything but a tender sweetheart. However, they sing harmoniously together and the act i3 above the average of its class. Mile. Latine, a well built, good-looking young woman with a radlent smile, furnishes an interesting physical culture and contortion exhibition, and Hayward and Hay ward open the programme with a Jumble of singing, dancing, gagging and piano playing that proves entertaining. Tho bioscope, as usual, is on hand with an assortment of moving picture, s. All in all, the bill Is well w orth weing. - - - Xovel Melodrama, at the I'nrk. Because Clarence I3ennett is producing his Mexican romance, "A Royal Slave," at theaters of the popular price, it does not follow that both tho play and the players' efforts are not of considerable merit. At the Park last night Mr. Dennett gave many evidences that he is an actor of intelligence and that he knows what he has in hand and how it should be worked out. In his trying role he appeals to those theatergoers who like a play of the heavier quality. The drama his freshness of plot and undertakes to tell many things yet tells them comprehensively. The royal slave, portrayed by Mr. R'-nnett, with the blood of a Montezuma tingling in his veins, wears the yoke of servitude in a proud Castillan family in Mexico. The slave bears the burden with fortitude until it becomes galling, when his kingly spirit cries out in anger and despair because of his fallen state. The play also tell' the story of a mysterious captain, who shines in society at times and leads his band of bandits at others. There is also a softening love story of the kind one might expect to lind in the gentle atmosphere of Mexico, with here and there a glint of comedy. Mr. Bennett supported by a competent company. Mrs. Rennet t plays the part of Countess De Oro, a scheming mother, and does it well. One of the heavier roles falls to Howard Tremaine, in the character of the msterious captain. Rert S. Nixon, in his satin apparel of sky blue, and Irene Duekett. as the daughter of the countess do much to sustain the Interest a3 they weave the love story. Most of the comedy is brought out by Lulu McConnell. as a winsome Mexican maid, and George Castleberry, as a newspaper correspondent, whose WIVES ARE BARRED FROM SINGLE SISTERS' SERVICE Married Women Not Permitted to Enter Church Where Maidens Heard Sermon. Special to tho Indianapolis Journal. COLUMBUS, Ind., May 2.-"Single sisters' service" was held at the Moravian Church in Hope yesterday. In the afternoon about 150 unmarried women met at the church and not a single married woman was allowed to enter the church door. The Rev. Mr. Romig, pastor of the church, made an address, and special music was furnished by members of the congregation. The ages of the youngest single woman present was thirteen years, while the age of the oldest maiden was not made public. The majority of them were from Hope, while a few were from the country near by. Hereafter a yearly service will be held from the single sisters in the congregation. WILDER ESTATE WILL GO TO THE POOR Eleven Xieces and Nephews of the Late Mrs. Fanny S. Wilder Lose Case. ST. PAUL. Minn., May 2. Juc.ge Bunn, cf the Ramsey county District Court, today decided that the clause in the will of tho late Mrs. Fanny S. Wilder, widow of Amherst II. Wilder, creating a trust fund "for the worthy poor" is valid. Eleven nieces and nephews of the deceased contested the clause in the will, which established a fund out of the Wilder estate of about $2,0M).m the proceeds of which were to maintain an administration building from which the work of relieving the wants of the worthy poor was to be directed. The contest was made on the ground that the words "the worthy poor" were not t peel rle and that therefore the bequest was illegal. It is pos.-Mble that an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court. Craig's cuddles arc certainly good.

One of the Best Funmakers In the Grand's Vaudeville Bill. Industrious use of pencil and notebook is wonderfully unlike the real thing. The depth of the villainy 13 sounded by the skillful work of George Crowder. The efforts of the players are supported by some of the most pretentious scenic equipment that has come to the Park lately. The engagement ends to-morrow night. Hurlesque at the Empire. Last week's go?d bill at the Lmpire Is followed by another good one this week. Fred Irwin's "New Majesties" opened yesterday afternoon and while the house was not filled as usual on Monday afternoon, owing to the counter attractions of baseball and a circus, those who attended were well pleased and evinced their apr-oval in a manner to prolong the performance until the stage director was compelled to ignore repeated encores. Few changes have been made in the company since last season, eo far as the principals are concerned. Larry McCale still carries the burden of the funmaking, an! carries it well, while Marie Barrison, her sister, Alice Orden, Mabel Carew, Maud Walker and Evelyn Harvey are again to be found at the head of the feminine contingent. The performance consists of a burlesque in two acts, with the usual "olio" sandwiched in between. The burlesque is the same take-off on "King Dodo" used by the company last season, but a few changes have been made and the jokes and the musical numbers are for the most part new. An unusually good-looking lot of chorus girls, w ho can sing and dance and are wellcostumed, contribute not a little to the success of the show. Barring a little suggestiveness, the burlesque merited the hit it scored. Maud Walker and Evelyn Harvey Vpened the olio with a singing and dancing turn that was well received. With one exception their songs were new and well sung, while their dancing was clever and their line of "gags" above the average. Farron and Fay, in German dialect, have studied the Roger brothers carefully, but have much to learn, although their nonsense scored with the gallery gods. Gilbert and Emma Craig offered the conventional musical turn, playing with cowbells, shdghbells, ete. and earned the applause and encores they received. McCale and Mac, in their Irish turn, offered some ne.w samples of Celtic wit and did knockabout work that delighted the Empirites, because it was so realistic. The closing number of the olio by Mabel Carew and Gertie Hayes was a presentation of the well-known recitation, "The Derby Race," Carew impersonating the jockey, while Hayes did the rol-s of the trainer and Phil Dwj'er. Empire audiences have been treated to this number so often that the crowd yesterday afternoon failed to appreciate it, even when presented in a more pretentious manner. The Maude Adams Sent Snle. The sale of seats for the Maude Adams engagement at English's to-morrow night in "The Little Minister" began yesterday with a very heavy demand. When English's f box olllce opened at 9 o'clock in the morn ing there was a line of ticket purchasers extending well out in Monument place, and the Interest in the sale continued throughout the day. The distinguished young actress will be greeted by an audience that will, in ail probability, completely fill the theater. It lias been over two years since Maude Adams has been seen in Indianapolis, and nearly live years since she apjwared here in her first great success "The Little Minister." She has quite a list of successes to her credit, "Romeo ind Juliet," "L'Aiglon" and "Quality Street" being her most pronounced triumphs aside from the beautiful Uarrie comedy. She scored a personal success the first half of this season in Mrs. Frances Hodgson Burnett's plav, "The Pretty Sister of Jose," but the play itself was not so well liked as were her previous vehicles. Miss Adams' leading man this season the actor who will be seen here in the title role of '"The Little Minister" is Henry Alnley, a young English actor whom Charles Frohman brought over to this country from London last fall, and who has made a very strong impression wherever he has been seen. LOCAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN HOLDS ANNUAL ELECTION Only Change Is in Office of Corresponding Secretary, the Incumbent Resigning. The board of directors of the Local Council of Women held its annual meeting yesterday afternoon at the Propylaeum and elected oificers for the ensuing year. Mrs. Thomas C. Day was re-elected president, Mrs. John W. Kern vice president, Mrs. W. T. Barnes recording secretary and Mrs. E. C. Rumpler treasurer. The only change in the staff of officers was in the ollice of corresponding secretary, formerly held by Mrs. S. D. Farrabee. Mrs. Farrabee has numerous duties outside the council work and declined re-election, and Mrs. W. S. Johnson was elected to the office. The members of the board of directors of the council who were elected in April are Mrs. Thilip Rappaport. Mrs. George E. Hume, Mrs. Mary Moody Dr Rebecca Rogers George and Mrs. Theresa Voss Smith.

After a bitter clash between "sentiment and commercialism in the village of Worcester, this county, a bank there has secured the right from the town and begun the erection of a banking house upon the site of the abandoned cemetery where the grandparents and great-grandparents of President Garfield are buried. No special effort has been made to find the remains of the murdered President's forbears for the reason that no one was quite sure in just what place in the quarter acte the graves were. While the excavations were being made many bones were discovered and rotten pieces of wood were found, which had been used as grave marks. The graveyard is located in the heart of Worcester, and was many years ago abandoned and had become overgrown with weeds. When propositions were made for the sale of the ground many, persons urged that the site be set apart in memory of the late President. When. members of the Garfield family were appealed to they expressed a wish that the decision be left to the citizens. HOME DRESSMAKING HINTS. By MAY M ANTON.

BIG CROWDS ATTEND THE FIRST Clips OF SEASON Ringling Brothers' Big Shows Entertain Thousands of People Afternoon and Night. PARADE A FIXE AFFAIR The first circus of the year has come and gone. It was a erand affair from the unloading of the first carload of circis paraphernalia Sunday noon to the exit of the last bespangled performer at last night's performance. Everybody who knows anything about circuses pronounced yesterday morning's parade as probably the finest ever seen here. It was a very long one, replete with gaudily-uniformed bands, cages of wild animals, handsomely accoutered equestrians, tiny ponies, a steam calliope and a ferociousv-looking clown, riding a bicycle. The animals, always the most interesting part of a parade, were quiet and well-behaved. If the lions or the tigers had only let out one or two rousing roars the event would have been more impressive. One of the latter actually lay in the end of his cage to all appearances sound asleep and totally unconscious of the presence of a number of rosy-cheeked lads who persisted in riding bicycles close to the cage. All of the wagons were newly painted and made a line appearance. A new departure was inaugurated by the street car company during the procession. Cars were run at intervals all the time, and go prevented serious blockades. Then came the big shows. The crowd was there at both the afternoon and the evening performances a long time before the show began. In tho afternoon Washington street was lined with a stream of people all the way to the grounds. They were bont on getting there for the "big event that costs you nothing." Early before the beginning of each performance great crowds thronged the menagerie, fed the elephants peanuts, laughed at the antiC3 of the monkeys and the little folks 6tarcd in wonderment at the "striped ponies." The ugliest animal in the menagerie had the prettiest name Itose. She is said to be the only rhinocerous in captivity. When the show really began the hugs tent was crowded and It mattered not where one's seat was located there was something to see, there being three rings and two stages. The Itrst great scene was a pantomimic representation of the crusades in the tenth century. All of tho? taking part in this gigantic spectacle were dressed in the costumes of the time and they made an Imposing array. This scene ended with a graceful dance in which about sixty women took part. After that the rings and stages were in one constant whirl of trapeze performers, tumblers, bicyclists, strong men, clowns, etc. The most interesting part of the show, perhaps, and the one that attracted most attention, was Captain Webb's performing seals, as put through their pacts by Professor Reichert. The - elephants also acted very cleverly, bringing forth much applause. They stood on their heads, waltzed and did other wonderful things. Their cumbersome antics were invariably described as "cute" by th women in the crowd.
