The patrons of thf> pmllery at the Park Theater did not enjoy "Fauef last night They were not dtoposed to taka the "devH" seriously, and laughed ut some of the more affecting lines or situation*. But in other part* of the theater—which was packed with people until many had to stand—there was marked interest taken in both play and player*. The production Is in the bands of a capable company, and the presentation generally te above the standard of popu-lar-priced theaters. The scenic effects are strong and are accompanied by the use of electrical corttrivancea. particularly In the rain of fire In hades, that gives good spectacular results. Errol Dunbar, in the character of Mephisto. has ease and grace, and Paul Uerson. as Faustus. is a painstaking actor. Genevieve Kane makes a very acceptable Marguerite. She has a gentleness of manner that holds the favor of the audience. Her voice Is soft and sweet; in fact, at times Us modulation was suck that sue could be heard with difficulty. Mrs. Tapsfleld and William Ewing are good as Dame Martha and Valentine. Florence Brooks. Frank Ohslow, Charles Saxon, William Ewing and WUllard Squires compose a quintet that sings well and received numerous encores. “Faust," is, in fact, very cleverly given along all lines. But some of the acts seem to drag on account of their length. There were many people In the audience last night who are usually aeen at the higher-priced theaters, and they were free with their applause. The play will be given twice a day for the real of the week. . .

Barlesqne at tke Empire.

If Miaco's “Jolly Grass Widows,” at tke Empire Theater this week, would cut out a good many suggestive jokes, and one or two other feature* of their performance, they would be presenting a good burlesque show. There are some features of a higher class than are commonly seen on the Empire stage, but a sprinkling of doubtful jokes and actions mar on otherwise good show. In the •■Widow’s Wedding Night,” the opening farce. Mile. Dlka. with a pretty face, captivated th* audience, although her singing was not up to her looks. The two men In the farce who made more merriment than others were the Hay

Player and Buaiaesa Woman. Sarah Lane, who died the other day in London, was probably better known than any other performer of this century to the theater-going masses of the East End. She had played an active part upon the stage both as actress and as manageress for sixty year* or more, and wa# quite as much noted for her good feeling and generosity as for her extraordinary business capacity. Her connection with the Britannia Theater at Hoxton dated back from 1841. and in the interval she had been associated with all kinds of drama, from Shakespearean tragedy to farce and pantomime, and with some of the most famous players

of their day. Acrobats. Jugglers, variety performers, trained animals and prixeflghters took their turn with comedians and tragedian* upon her hospitable and entirely catholic boards. Especially great was the Britannia at Christmas time, when a most plentiful entertainment was provided In the shape of a heavy melodrama and a gorgeous pantomime. If the actors worked hard they were paid liberally, and enjoyed relations of a peculiar intimacy with their audiences, who were in the habit of signifying their approval by the bestowal of all sorts of gifts upon their favorites. Including not

clever.

The theater was crowded at both performances yesterday afternoon and last night, and the audiences seemed to enjoy the show. It will continue, with roaunsls, all this week.

Between the Acts. Another effort to uplift the stage is to ho made, this time by a Mr. Charles Hoppe, of London, who announces his intention of establishing in London a playwrights' theater, and v.ho has sent out circular* soliciting subscription* for the enterprise. According to Mr. Hoppe, the Engltsn drama Is not "worthy of intelligent interest’’ The English playwrights Pinero, Jones, Grvndy, Carton, Chambers, Shaw and the rest do not write intelligently, and Mr. Hoppe Is convinced that much bettor plays are rejected by the managers than the ones they produce. The Idea Is, then, to produce in the new theater those plays which managers, moved solely by commercial consideration*, reject. It is so easy to abuse the theatrical managers and to accuse the comraeiclul Instinct of being responsible for the froth and felly which is popular to-day! Of course, the existing theater is frankly commercial, but it Is extremely doubtful whether any vital ami actable play has been crowded oat of the theaters on account of the dominant tendency toward farce and force-comedy. It Is within the bounds of possibility, the establishment of a purely artistic theater, appealing only to artistic minds, but unies* resort Is bad to Mr. 'William Archer’s expedient of a liberal endtownant mich a place of amusewouid be a failure. Every day It more evident that any movement to the lifting of the stage to a higher plane than that of frivolity and fun nmat come, not from the stage itself, but from the patrons of the stage, the paying public. In the imantimi, it will do no harm to reccgn'.se that the existing commercial theater la not nearly so had as rune of the pesalmltls would have us be-

Athens is to have a new national theater, modeled In every particular on the Comedie Franchise, in Paris. The King of Greece ha a contributed liberally to the project, which la to be carried out in elaborate fashion. The lighting arrangements alone have cost Lkl.OOO. This sum was contributed by the King personally. The members of the company will bear the same relation to the theater as the actors of the Comedie Froncaise do. Grecian plays will be given In addition to the modern works of other countries The best known dramatist of Greece today is Demetrtos Gemakardis, who was bom on the island of Lesbos, and Uvea there now. He was educated In Germany at the Universities of Munich and Berlin. “Fausta" Is considered his greatest play, and In that the Greek actress, who is known a* Evangeline Paraskevopuloa, has made her greatest impression. She belonged until a t-borv time ago to one of the traveling theatrical companies, which suffer greater hardships in Europe than they dp anywhere else in the world.

French and Italian melodramas and comedies of tafidelity form the principal material of the trav^ eilng companies. Only two modern plays of native authorship apart from “Fausta" are said to have retained their place In the repertoire of any Greek theaters. Mra.

Authors at Reheamals.

In discussing the question of author versus manager, the Westminster Review gives two pretty pictures of two great dramatists at rehearsals. Henrik Ibsen sits in the wing, silently observing, and scribbling notes on small slips of paper. At the end of the rehearsal he hands these suggestions of alterations to the stage manager. Next day Ibsen Is in his place again. Nothing has been changed. He scribbles again, and hands the slips to the manager, saying In his gentle manner. “I am afraid you must have lost my notes yesterday. I have had the pleasure of writing them again.” At the third rehearsal everything Is as before. Ibsen makes no remark till the end of the performance. when he addresses the manager courteously in this wise; "The ladles and gentlemen are playing a piece of which I am not the author.” Then, he marches off, and Is seen no more, not even at the first night. Bjornson Is much less placid. He is actively present at every rehearsal, of which he insists on having at least twenty. "A part is learned." he often says, "at the rehearsals, on the actual boards, but not at home. It Is the French method of rehearsing, and It Is a good one.” After this speech he alts down In the front row of the stalls, puts on a skull-cap. and the rehearsal begins, followed at the end of each act by severe criticisms on the acting and mounting of

the play.

Notes of tke Stag*.

J. H. Stoddart will play the part of Dr. Manette In "The Only Way," with

Henry Miller.

Camille d'ArvUle, once a comic opera prtma donna, has gone into vaudeville and has engagements ahead for one year. Miss Maude Thomas, an actress with quite a reputation, has forsaken the profession of Thespis to take up with the law. William Winter, the well-known critic, pronounces "The Girl from Maxim’s” such a screed as might have been written by a stable boy for the amusement of a

bootblack.

Verona Jarbeau, once well known In the legitimate field, but who has been off the stage for a long time, has returned to the boards and will play In

Vaudeville.

Miss Alice Nielsen will open In New York about the middle of the present month in “The Singing Girl,** the new opera written for her by Victor Herbert and Harry B. Smith. Immediately after the production of "Children of the Ghetto” in Washington, September 18, James A. Herne, who Is staging it, will begin rehearsals of his own play, “Bag Harbor.” Indianapolis theater-goers may not, after all, get to see Mrs. Leslie Carter in "Zaxa." The state of her health Is said to be such that if she leaves New Tork In "Zaxa” it will be for a very brief tour. In the meantime two minor companies are to take the road with the play wiilch proved so popular last season. The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, conducted for many years by Franklin H. Sargent, has received a charter from the regents of the University of tno State of New York. The following trasUes have been elected: Daniel Frohman, E. P. Stephenson, B. F. Boeder, C. H. Phelps and Franklin H. Sargent The Jeffer-on De Angetis Opera Company will open it* season at Yonkers, N. Y., next Saturday evening.

The Board of Trade has abandoned tbe Idea of building a coal road to the fields of Sullivan county, deciding, at a meeting of the governors of the organisation last night, that while the board recognised the advantages of such a road. It did not think It was in the province of the board to attempt to build It. t The board transacted much other busines* of a less important nature. William Kothe sent in hls resignation, which was accepted, and Frank W. Morrison, was appointed in hls place to membership. The board also decided to appoint a committee soon to assist In tbe raising of funds to send Battery A. of this city, to New York to participate in the Dewey celebration. It was also decided to help the Porto Rican storm sufferers, although the money for this purpose will not be taken from the fund raised for the aid of the Ohio river sufferers. D.

HALF DAY SESSIONS OF PUBLIC SCHOOLS BEGIK MO81 DAY.

With Half-Day Work All Paplls Cam be Accommodated la Old Balldlaga t’atil the Yew One* Are FlaUhed October 1.

The public schools of this city, Including both the High Schools, will open next Monday. There are no means. It is said, of knowing at this time what the attendance will be. It is remarked that a year of great prosperity does not crowd the schools, as many boys and girls find employment, Instead of going to school, as would be the case In a year when there Is less employment. Superintendent Goss says that In Indianapolis each succeeding school year brings a greater number of pupils Into the schools, cad the coming school year will not. probably, be an exception. Employment of many who otherwise would be pupils, in various pursuits, will tend to make the school accommodations nearer adequate than could otherwise be the case. None of the new school buildings will be ready In time for the opening of the school year. AU will practically be ready on October 1. As the first two -necks of school are to be only half-day sessions, by order of the Board of School Commissioners, all the schools may be opened In tne present buildings. The annual meeting of the teachers of the public schools will be held In High School Hall on Saturday, the 16th inst., at 10 a. m. Superintendent Goss will deliver the annual address.

Many young men are coming to Indianapolis to work their way through the university, either in Butler College, or one of the other departments. It is surprising what shifts some of them make In order to accomplish their ends. Some are carrying newspapers, some are waiting on tables, some are employed as day laborers in the factories. President Jenkins says that he Is thinking of finding some means of starting a factory for the manufacture of some article of commerce that Is In great demand and that will not require skilled labor. In order that the boys can make their way. He would not expect this factory to pay, but merely to make expenses, in manufacturing brooms or boxes or some such Article?. - * He stated that he could put fifty young men into the university this fall, If only there were means for them to make expenses. He thinks that a great deal could be done by the citizens of Indianapolis to help young men through college, if they were willing to give work In their stables or houses to student*, for their board and room. SCHOOLS IX GERMANY. Supt. Goss Contrasts Them with Those at Home. School Superintendent Goss, who has Just returned from several weeks spent in Germany, makes some comparisons between the schools there and here. ‘T visited a number of schools in Germany.’* he said, "especially the Volks-Schulen at Heidelberg. The striking difference between our schools and theirs is shown in the attitude of teachers toward the children, and of children toward one another. In our schools there is more happiness, a better enjoyment of life by the child than appears in any school that I ever saw In Europe, public or private. “European school-rooms are proverbially dirty and ill-kept. The furniture In the largest and best schools would not be fcood enough for any school-room In Indianapolis. Teachers there speak to the children in sharp tones, and address them not, by their Christian names, but by their family names. After uttering sharp comments, the teacher will turn to the visitor with a self-approving air of .‘that’s the way I do It.’ “On the other hand, the scholarship of she teacher* of all schools In Germany 1* higher than the scholarship of our own teachers. Every one must undergo a long process of training before he can call himself a teacher. Few women are employed. This Is a pity, and accounts

school-house.

German Methods Rigid. “On the side of general progress of education, this k. to be said: To work out- a curriculum a German begins by Instituting a commission of well-trained men, who finally give the subject Us legal statement. It usually follows that this Is done in a more thorough way than similar work could be done with ns. But after It hns been put Into operation, the possibility of changing It In any part is infinitely more remote than would he the case in our

schools.

"This can not only be said of education, but about industries and every department of practical life In Germany. It is truly magnificent machinery, but small space is left for progress. German engineers once found out what was the best kind cf locomotive. That was settled for a long time to come. Meanwhile, in the United States, all the different railroad fnanagements are trying to outdo each other with new designs, and this r.ever-to-be-Batlsfled competition is what makes progress so rapid in the United

States.”

CRUSHED TO DEATH. A Carpenter Caught by Daors He was Unloading. Frank Miller, of 513 Jefferson avenue, a carpenter was crushed to death at the Monon freight depot about 4 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Miller and a number of other workmen were engaged in unloading heavy doors for the new freight depot, from a car. Five doors were fastened together, the total weight aggregating about eight hundred pounds. Part of the car-load had been taken off and the remainder was standing without support When Miller stepped on the car five of the doors topped over and he wa* pinioned between them and a brace on the side of the car. He was held until his fellow-workmen raised the doors, when he fell to the side of the car. The City Dispensary ambulance was called, and Miller was taken to the City Hospital. There were no external injuries, and it was first supposed that he was not seriously injured, but he died within twenty minutes after the hospital was reached. He was thirty-one years old, and leaves a wife. — — ■... Requisition for William Myers.

Depurator Medical Institute bOS and MOT X. Illinois Street. Indianapolis, Ind.

Here is an unsolicited testimonial from a Camden (O.) man who began the Depurator treatment for Consumption April 28,

1899:

I have taken the Depurator treatment for Consumption, and take pleasure in saying I weigh more to-day than I have in five years, notwithstanding the doc-

tors said I had Consumption, and said I must change climate. I eat well, sleep weil and feel well. My friends are surprised. In fact, one undertaker told a friend of mine that he had hls eye on me for four months. 1 am proud to say that the Depurator treatment for Consumption has cheated him out of his expected Job. The Depurator treatment will

cure you. r 1

A Few of the Many Points of Excellence Not to be Found Among Others.

Morrow’s Kld-ne-oids, the great remedy for kidney and urinary ailments, is a scientific preparation. It has been perfected after eighteen years of hard work by afi experienced chemist. Kid-ne-olds act gently, thoroughly, quickly and directly on the kidneys, nerves and urinary organs. They build up the system and restore its normal parts to their natural condition. Miss H. Hooker, residing at 1309 East Michigan street, this city, says: "I have suffered for several months with kidney and bladder difficulty. I had severe pain in the narrow part of my back Just back of the hips in tbe kidneys. The discharge of the kidney secretions was frequent but scant, and was always attended with pain; this showed the presence of Inflammation In those parts. L became nervous as any one in this condition; would often Ue awake of nights unable to go to sleep. I bought some of Morrow’s Kid-ne-olds and used them according to directions, with the ultimate result of being cured. This is more than my physician was able to accomplish, and I appreciate my health more now than I ever did." Kid-ne-olds are put up In wooden boxes which contain enough for about two weeks* treatment, and sell for 60 cents at all druggists, and at the Sloan Drug Co. Manufactured by John Morrow St Co..
