The management of the Grand has taken full advantage of Its membership In the association of vaudeville managers and secured a programme of specialties for the current week that is certain to draw a succession of large audiences, thus maintaining the record made last week. Dorothy Morten, being a comic opera prima Ctnna of considerable note, would ordinarily he the chief attraction, and Mls3 Morton's songs are delightful, but there are several other acts that please fully as much as hers. Gus Williams, "Our Gerrean Senator," tcores a hit of goodly proportions with his rapid fire of humorous talk, his comic and serio-comic songs, and his cleverly delivered recitations. Jolly Flo Irwin and her talented associate, Walter llawley. In a bright skit called "The Gay Miss Con," constitute another feature that is more than ordinarily pleasing. Miss Irwin has the same infectious merriment that is rapidly making her sister May's fortune In another field cf entertainment. The Rexos open the bill with an exhibition of graceful evolutions executed on roller skates and unlcycles. Caroline Hull has a little speech about the people of her native country (the South) Cghtlnjc for the cause they believed was right that makes a bigger hit than her singing. Miss Hull's voice is a pseudo-contralto and would not be pleasant to hear If it were not for her magnetic personality and winning mannerisms. Conway and Leland, dancers and comedians, demonstrate that the los3 of a leg does not necessarily put a man out of the race of life. Each of these clevr men has suffered such a misfortune and ytt they are possessed of ability and determination sufficient. to enable them to earn a good living by entertaining the public. Their act has many remarkable features and is heartily applauded. Charles Leonard Fletcher introduces a new and attractive style of monologue. In addition to presenting a batch of the latest jokes, he gives an exhibition of lightnlnng changes of costume in the full glare of the calcium. Ills impersonations of Sir Henry Irving in "Robea-j-Urre" and of Richard Mansiield in "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" arc excellent. Indianapolis has been favored with a number of expert equilibrists since the Grand wa3 turned into a fashionable vaudeville theater, but there Is still room- for an act that possesses as much merit as the one furnished by Robertus and Wllfredo. One of the men walks down a Might of steps on his hands, while his uplifted feet supKrt a trio of lighted lamps and on thtj ck of his neck is balanced a candelabrum of many branches each carrying a lighted candle. Dorothy Morton, the star of the Uli. sings a variety of entertaining songs m a costume of dazzling richness. The programme endi with the kinodrome, which Is showing the best pictures this week It has shown sirco the opening of the teason. The views of the flip-flap railroad at Coney island, circular panorama view of Niagara Falls and the reproduction of the White Houo and surrounding grounds ere especially feood. . Performances will be given every afternoon and nisht this week. Joseph Arthur's "Lost Illver." Joseph Arthur's realistic drama of life In that part of Indiana Ijing near West BaCen Springs, entitled "Lost River." returned to English's Opera House lost night with the samo strong can and magnificent eenery and efffcts shown here a fewweeks ago. Last night's presentation was much better thin the first given in this city, there being practically r.o hitches in the working of the mechanical effects. When the play was here btfore It had come direct from the Fourteenth-street Theater, New York, by fast train, and the stage force at Knglteh's did not have time ;n Which to famillariic itself with the massive tad intricate .settings required .fur the

1

numerous scenes. The Piece has. however, been produced in Chicago. Milwaukee and other large eitle in the interval that has elapsed since Its first visit to this city, and Is now in much better shape. The bicycle race, a mechanical tableau forming the finale to the first act, is a fine piece of stage realism and evoked hearts applause last night. Another pretty and pleasing effect is the rescue of the heroine from Lost River aqueduct by her sweetheart. Cob Blessing, which is also a tableau. The greatest enthusiasm Is aroused by the thrilling toll-gate scene at the end of Act 3, in which Blessing breaks open the barred toll-gate with an ax nd allows Ora to dash through on a spirited charger, bearing the money with which to pay the workmen on the aqueduct. Ora is hotly pursued by two desperadoes, also mounted on horses, and these men are held at bay by the hero, who has a revolver in his hand. This vivid climax brought a number of lnMStent curtain calls. The plot of Mr. Artur's play is saved from being commonplace by hla cleverness In character drawing. The characters of Claude Mlddleton, portrayed by Hans Robert, Gladys Middleton, by Eugenie Thais Lawton, Bill Loucks, by P. Aug. Anderson, Ezra Cookus, by Charles Abbe, Gabriel Gates, "kin claimer," by James Iackaye, Ora. by Mary Sanders, Angle Vollmer, by Mabel Taliafero, and Grandma Gates, by Ada Dwyer, are all true to life and portrayed with rare ability. The Lost River Quartet, composed of George Thomas. II. W. Humphreys, M. C. Reynolds and Frank Edwards, is an attractive feature. These men, dressed as drovers, made their entry in the rear of a llcck of sheep, thereby injecting strong flavor of the bucolic Into the production. The sheep acted far better last night than did their predecessors with the production on its former visit. . The play will be repeated to-night.

Hoyt's "A Brass Monkey Two large audiences found a great deal of enjoyment In witnessing Joe W. Spears's revival of Charles II. Hoyt's farce "A Brass Monkey" at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon and last night. Mr. Hoyt always selected some popular fad or foible to satirize when he began the evolution ofy a farce-comedy. In this case he chose superstition as the object at which to aim his keen-edged quips and Jests. In "A Brass Monkey" about all of the popular superstitions are paraded before an audience In a ridiculous light. Much of the burden of the funmaking falls on the shoulders of James K. Wesley, who assumes the xole of Jonah, an Irishman who Is constantly on nettles on account of his superstitious fears. Mr. Wesley is a good comedian. Mazie Trumbull (sister of Ollie Mack) plays the part of Baggage, Jonah's daughter, and Invests the character with a large amount of life and gayety. Her effervescent spirits are constantly In evidence throughout, the three acts. Mayme Taylor Impersonates Dlrdie. Jonah's wife and a society reporter, and makes a hit with her singing of "Jerusalem" and "Road to Mandalay." Miss Trumbull, assisted by the company, sings a number of songs, among them "Just Suppose," .Tolly" and "Lovers' Lane." She also gives a pleasing exhibition of skill in playing the harp and hi ragtime dancing. Mr. Charles A. Morgan, who has the pirt of Doolittle Work, Is an excellent tenor singer and his voice Is heard In a number of popular airs, such as "When Chloe Sings a Song" and "Dolly." The piece abounds In attractive songs and catchy dances, the plot having been sacrificed for this purpose. Judging by its reception yesterday, "A Brass Monkey" might well have been booked for a week's engagement Instead of three days. However, it will give way Thursday afternoon to another of Mr. Hoyt's farces, equally enjoyable, "A Trip to Chinatown." At the Empire. Fred Irwin has got together in his show, which he is producing at the Empire Theater this week, a' collection of specialty artists, some of whom are above the average, while others can be rated below par. As Is usual with an Irwin show, a large chorus has been selected and the voice-! are strong. Likewise, some attention has been paid to the selection of costumes for the members of the chorus, as they are very pretty. In the ODeninfir number. "The Man with the Funny Touch." there is little to be said other than to commend the singing of Grace Mantell. assisted by the chorus. The comedy during this part is produced by Messrs. Philip Morton and William Watson, and they work energetically for something hey fall to realize. Miss Grace Mantell renders several sentimental songs in the beginning of the olio which scored a hit. Phil Morton, as an Irish comedian, delivered a few Jokes and sang a few dialect songs. W. E. and Edith Browning have a sketch entitled "The Merry Tramp," which Is good. Mr. Browning sings several negro dialect songs, which showed some talent on his part. Barney Bernard and William Watson are au unevenly balanced team of comedians, a Bernard, who impersonates a Hebrew, ecsily distances Mr. Watson In fun-making. The eight Cornallas, a troupe of acrobats, perform some marvelou3 feats, lue clio is brought to a close with a series of cineograph pictures which have grown old. "A Good Thing," the title of the last burlesque. Is the scene of a race track and i3 prettily staged. Result of Gneaslng Contest. The result of the Cingalese guessing contest was announced at the Zoo last night. There were fifty-two correct guesses. The first of these to be recorded was made by Mrs. S. B. French, who was presented with a mounted lion's claw. The second prize, a season ticket, was awarded to Miss Lotta Enos. There are five women and two men In the troupe. The programme went very smoothly yesterday and nearly all of the acts were liberally applauded, notably Captain Bonavita and his twenty lions, Shultz's Great Dane dogs and Boy leer's bears, lions and dogs. To-night the dental students, two hundred strong will take possession of the Zoo and will add seme new and original features to the arenlc programme. Sothern on the Stngro Agniti. DETROIT, Mich., Jan. 2S. Since las$ Tuesday night, when the Grand Theater in Cincinnati was destroyed by fire, Mr. E. II. Sothern has secured a complete set of scenery for his production of Hamlet, and to-night he gave a magnificent presentation of the play in the Detroit Opera House before a crowded house. Mr. Sothern scored a great success, and was called before the cUrtaln at the end of the second act. The setting of each scene was ample and inasmuch as the costumes of the company were uninjured in the fire, the production lacked little or nothing of its original brilliancy. Notes of the Sita are. A. S. Hummel, the well-known New York theatrical attorney, is said to have recently completed a rlay In one act, dealing with an Interesting legal point. xxx Stuart Robson is likely to form friendly relations with prosperity once more next season. He has decided to revive "The Henrietta." in which he scored his greatest success some years ago, impersonating Bertie, "the Lamb." XXX riaywright Charles H. Hoyt turned out a score or more comedy successes In his lifetime, but his "A Trip to Chinatown " which comes to the Park Thursday afternoon for the rest of the week, is claimed to be the most successful from both a financial and an artistic standpoint. xxx As her contralto singer this season, Alice Nielsen offers a beautiful young woman. Viola Gillette, who has achieved fame in Australia, but who has her American reputation yet to make. Miss Nielsen has all of the people who helped her to win success last season, and a host of clever new ones. xxx Ossip Gabrtlowltseh, the Russian pianist who will be heard In conjunction with the Amphlon Club in the auditorium of the German Houye to-morrow night, comes to Indianapolis heralded by his remarkable auccesses in concerts and recitals In New York and Boston, and with the famous Thomas Orchestra in Chicago a trifle over a week ago. xxx Charles 1Z. Evans will make his first appearance in Indianapolis for a number of seasons at English's Opera House tomorrow nd Thursday nights in David Belasco's farce, "Naughty Anthony," which Is said to bo funny to the point of hilarity. As a "curtain raiser" Mr. Belasco's dramatization of John Luther Long's dainty love tragedy, "Marta- Butterfly,"

will be resented each night, with special scenery and effects. XXX Those who have seen Captain Sorcho's demonstration of the methods and perils of deep-sea diving, which will be given twice daily at the German House, beginning Thursday afternoon, state that it contains features of Interest to men, women and children. Everybody is fascinated at the prospect of having a mystery explained, and to most people the entire subject of sea diving is a profound mystery. Captain Sorcho not merely describes the life of a diver, but accompanies his description with practical illustrations or experiments in an Immense tank or aquarium, of which he is the Inventor and sole owner.

One of the Holders of the San Juan River Concession Talks. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Slr William Forwood, who is a member of a shipownlng firm which owns a concession that, it Is alleged, gives It control of navigation on the San Juan river for a distance of about fifty miles from Lake Nicaragua, is in this city. Sir William denied to a reporter today that his presence here has any connection with the Nicaragua concession which his firm holds, but added: "It is true that our company holds a concession for the navigation of the San Juan river and under Its terms we are now operating vessels on the river and also on Lake Nicaragua as far as Managua. The concession was obtained in the natural course of business expansion, and without any regard to the possible construction of an interoceanlc canal along this route. I don't see how It would be possible for a builder of a canal, whether a government or a private company, to take possession of the San Juan river without consulting us as the holders of the concession. At the same time I do not wish to be quoted as saying that our concession will interfere in any way with the project of an interoceanic canal across Nicaragua, should the United States decide to build such a canal. Our interests are small compared with the gigantic nature of such a project." . Dnel with a BnrRlnr. ST. JOSEPH. Mo.. Jan. 23.-F. A.

Sir Henry Ltttlejohn, medical jofficer ot Edinburgh, believe that Murray lall, the Tammany politician, who, upon djith Jan. 17 was found to be a woman, wa the same person who in 1S71 was brought to tho t.mallpox hospital aa a man, but vas subsequently found to be a woman. AnY employe of the hospital, supplementing tye statement t Sir Henry Llttlejohn, saj s: "A woman who went under the namü of Johr Campbell and was a stone masori married a girl In Edinburgh. The bride cois plained lo a magistrate that her supposed husband : was a. woman, and the magistral locked up tho Impostor oa a charge of Titling vith the registration laws.

Shefgave as a reason for her conduct that shLwas leff an orphan and hai dressed up lndhe clothing of a dead brothci because it wfs easier' to get employment At that tlml she was supposed to have gone to the i'nited Slates." A very pretty custom obtains am err; certain classes Ky which the newly married pair 6tarts a tlvings bank for the child yet to be. Even? dajr a penny or a dime, as the case xaay vbe, is dropped into the bank to swell Luc tuna, and this practice is kept up until the child is old enough to save for itself. The parents have the right theory but bow rarely they carry it to its broaaest application. Every mother is perforce laying up lor her child what money cannot influence happinesf or misery. The nervous motherwill have a nervous child. The irrita ble and fearful mother cannot have a happy and cheerful hild. In mind and body the child will reflect the mother's condition.
