Lady Windermere's Fan" at the Grand Opera House. 'Lady Windermere's Fan," the charming society comedy in which the Grand stock company made the greatest hit of the pres 'ent season several months ago, was wisely chosen for "revival last night, which was the first performance of the final half week of the season- The sparkling wit, scintil lating cynicism and biting sarcasm with which the play fairly abounds will certain ly enable the members of tho company to bid farewell to their many friends under delightful circumstances and leave behind memories of the most agreeable character. Lady Windermere's Fan" belongs to that class of plays that stand out from their fellows distinctly. With the assistance rendered by mag nificent scenic surroundings and handsome costumes, the stock company's perform ance, last night, was little short of bril liant The members of the organization have rarely ever before entered so thor oughly into the spirit and right conception of a play. It Is an unpleasant task to pick flaws in such a production: and yet. there were, imdnuhtedlv. clnrlnir flaws in It. That Mr. Camp did not completely ruin several scenes by his deadly dull, didactic manner m. M 1-1 1 I m A 1 oi BptawBt; ins uues, was uecause oi me strikingly forceful acting of his vis-a-vis in each of them. Much of the fine effect of Miss La Verne's work in the last act was destroyed in this way. Mr. Macy's por trayal of Lord Darlington, -Lady Winder mere's lover, was an excellent piece of work one of the distinct hits of the per formance. Miss Shannon filled most of tfie requirements of the difficult role of Lady Windermere satisfactorily, and displayed several beautiful gowns. Wright Kramer contributed a well-nigh faultless bit of character acting in his Impersonation of Lord Augustus Lorton. Ills walk, make up, mannerism and cockney accent were all excellent. The character of Cecil Gra ham, under the deft touch of Thomas M. Reynolds, shone forth as the bright, par ticular comedy hit of the piece. If Mr. Reynolds had furnished no other charac terization the present season, this one would stamp him the possessor of great ability. Mr. Sheldon's jsrenlus for producing merriment was palpably held in restraint by the meager part of Mr. Charles Dumby. Miss Donlco was even better than before as the Duchess of Berwick, and that is saying a great deal, since, when seen be fore, it was regarded as one of her beat de lations. Miss Martin and Miss Companls, the respective characters of Lady Plym--ie and Lady Jedbury, helped greatly to supply the atmosphere of realism with which the play was Invested. The un doubted triumph of the performance was Miss La Verne's portrayal of the star part of Mrs. Erlynne. The reception given Miss La Verne upon her entry amounted to an ovation and seemed to spur her on to do her most brilliant work of the entire stock season. In her hands the part of Mrs. Erlynne seemed the one around which all the others revolved. A portion of the play which deserves special mention on account of Its Interest and charm is the scene In Lord Darling ton's bachelor apartments, in which a large part of the wit and parcasm is uttered in a delightfully gossipy manner. "Lady Windermere's Fan" will bo repeated to night and twice to-morrow. "A Man of Mystery" nt Park. A Man of Mystery." Mark E. Swan's new hypnotic melodrama, was presented at the Park Theater yesterday afternoon for the first time In Indianapolis and proved immensely pleasing to lovers of that kind of dramatic literature, who were present in sufficient numbers to make up an audience of respectable size. When the word Is passed around that the Tark has one of the most exciting and sensational plays of its career the house will be crowded to the doors. As Indicated at the outset, the play deals principally with hypnotism. This subtle force is employed In a perfectly preposterous fashion In fact, th? whole piece is preposterous for that matter, but so are all successful melodramas. The Interest culminates at the close of the third act In as thrilling a i-ltuatlon as ever transpired on a stage. The tremendous burst of applause, yells ehrieks and catcalls with which this scene was hailed made it certain that the melo drama is sure to have a successful run at the Park. Some very pretty scenery is ibown. Harry 6. Richards is by far the best actor in the cast. He impersonates Bill Uurke, a toush. In a manner that is truly delightful. The wonder Is that tome of the higher priced companies have not "taken him on." Ht-ttlp - Trdro U very good as Moll L'ritt. the tough girt and also con tributes a voral specialty. Miss Tedro's voice is an extra heavy contralto and sounds well, but her manner of rendering ber songs is deplorably dull and listless. The peculiar character of "The Shadow," who is now a Christian worker and then a prince of thieves, is done by Mr. Van Kin xIe,.who looks and acts the part satis factorily. Jerome Keanan need not be dis couraged because his portrayal of Ned Keene, the detectlvo, Is bad. William Gil lette Is about the only man on the stage lo-day who can come anywhere near show ing a plausible delineation of a detective. John Healey is another of the clever peo ple in the company. He makes an excel lent darky servant and is a clever vocalist and monologulst. as well as being able to execute some fancy dance steps. The only other member of the cast deserving serious mention is Miss May E. Cunard, who does some really capable v.ork as Flos sie Glenwood. "A Man of Mystery" will continue the rest of the week. Monday "Jim the Pen man" will be seen for the first time at pop ular prices in this city. "The Jfegro" at English. "The Negro," by Charles S. Sager, was presented at English's Opera House last night for the first time in Indianapolis. The first part is a pretty sketch in one act and two scenes, in which are shown extremely lifelike pictures of the South before and after the Emancipation Proclamation; the second an allegorical playlet, the object of which Is to foster patriotic sentiment and incidentally permit of the introduction of some good military evolutions by the body guard of the Queen of Dahomey, while the final portion is a clever mixture of vaude ville and burlesque. Mr. Sager has cer tainly found a large collection of capable home talent from which to choose his as sistants. The performance last night was one which redounded greatly to the credit of the author, who directed the stage, and to the members of the colored order of Knights of Pythias, of the city, under whose auspices the production was given. "The Negro" will be repeated to-night. Xotea of the Staate. Alice Nielsen's husband was Ctrl Nut weg, an orchestra leader in Kansa City. XXX "In Gossip Town" is the title of a new play by Claude II.

Next spring she will be seen in a new costume play written for her by Robert Buchanan, author of "The Shadow of the Sword." XXX ,' Henrik Ibsen, the Norwegian playwright, has Just evolved another of bis nightmares, entitled "Skeletons," which is said to be more horrible and to outrage decency to a greater extent than any of his previous efforts in those directions. XXX "Winning a Widow" is the title of a new vaudeville sketch by Joe Hart. Its inci dents are laid in a broker's office. Mr. Hart also owns "Dangerous Women." one of the biff melodramatic hits of the season, and A Close Call." the new vaudeville sketch which has been produced for eight consecutive weeks on the great Keith cir cuit of theaters.

COST OF IMPROVEMENTS IT IS ESTIMATED THAT THE GRAND TOTAL WOULD DE $ 175,201.25. Controller Johnson Has Taken Up the Question City Hospital Repairs -Municipal Matters. City Controller Johnson, acting mayor of Indianapolis during the absence of Mayor Taggart, spent some time yesterday ex amining" the report of Inspector Johnson as published in yesterday's papers. He figured on the cost of the improvement in the fire department as recommended by Inspector Johnson and his figures showed that the cost to the city the first year after making the Improvements as recommended would be In the neighborhood of $200,000, which is considerable more than the cost of Improve ments as recommended by Fire Chief Bar rett In addition to the fire department Im provements there are the changes at the City Hospital, now under consideration and deemed necessary, which will mean an added cost to the city of between $40,000 and $50.000. W. Scott Moore, the architect who drew the plans for the new wing, completed his task yesterday afternoon and submitted his report to the Board of Public Works. The figures will not be given out until they are considered by the board, but it is said his estimates on the new wing are in excess of $30,000, but will not reach the $40,000 mark. It is the Intention of the city officials to Invito the members of the finance commit tee of the City Council to meet with them and take up the question of the amount ot a bond issue necessary to make the' Im provements at the City Hospital and in the fire department. A few of the Repub lican members of the Council were asked yesterday what position they would take on an ordinance for issuing a number of bonds. They said the question of improv ing the hospital would be the first matter to be considered, as this was deemed more necessary than the improvements in the fire department. They also said that In case appropriations were made for both im provements the ordinance would be so ar ranged as to prevent the city from using the funds for any other purpose. THE ESTIMATES. Estimates based partly upon the recom mendations of Fire Chief Barrett and also upon those of Inspector Johnson were placed before City Controller Johnson yes terday afternoon. They were compiled with the view of providing the improvements deemed necessary at this time and the various Items are as follows: Two fire engines $11,000 Three hose warons... 825i Two service trucks 3,000 One aerial truck... 3.500 One water tower 5,40) Three Glazier nozzles 525 5.500 feet of hose 5.500 Twenty-two horses 3,300 One fuel wagon 250 One tool wagon 259 Small apparatus 1 550 Harness and incidentals 500 Furniture for new houses, etc 1,025 Small hose 40 Mlscelleanous 125 Improvement fire alarm system 60,000 Total J05.790 In addition to the above estimates on apparatus, etc.. there are estimates on other items which are necessary under the proposed improvements. They are as fol lows: Salaries of thirty-three additional firemen and six captains per year.$32,501.25 Twelve new reservoir cisterns 12,000.00 Three new fire houses, two at $5,000 each and the central station at $10,000 20,000.00 Improvements at headquarters. No. 2 and No. 15 6.000.00 Two lots for houses at Cereallne town and Central Station 10.000.00 Total $09.501.23 THE GRAND TOTAL. The increase in the maintenance of the department. Including feed, repairs, shoe ing horses, etc., is estimated at $10,000 a year. This brings the grand total of addi tional expenditures the first year, Includ ing the purchase of new apparatus, build ing of houses, salaries, etc., up to $175,291.25. This figure is not as high as it would be under the recommendatlo'ns of Inspector Johnson, as he recommends about fifty ad ditional men Instead of the thirty-three men and six captains included in the above list. The new fire hydrants will be placed in the streets by the water company and when the new contract is made with that corporation one of the clauses will provide for this improvement. But there will be an additional expense for rentals on the new hydrants. The question is a pexplexlng one and those who are in favor of the im provements argue that many new manu facturing concerns could be brought to this city should the fire service be im proved. When the question of deciding on the amount of Improvement to be con tracted for is taken up it is believed the above figures will be cut materially by emitting many of the items. It Is said the proposed bond Issue will not exceed $150,000, and In that case It will be necessary to de lay some of the Improvements. Works Board Affairs. The Board of Public Works yesterday visited the property affected by the pro posed opening of Sheldon street. During the morning the board met with Assistant General Manager Grant, of the street-car company, and it is said the streef-car company representative was notified to be more punctual in carrying out the orders of the board pertaining to the repairing of certain streets that have been torn up by the company. Failed to Certify Tickets. The attorney general has received quite a number of inquiries asking his opinion as to 'the law In cases where there was a failure to certify tickets to the town clerk fifteen days before the town election, as the law requires. As the attorney general Is of opinion that the question should be decided by the courts, he has given no opinion in the matter. Returned with Prisoner. Detective Thornton rrturned last night from Springfield. O., with Noel Winston, colored, who is wanted here for burglary and grand larceny. He Is charged with burglarizing several tailor shops here and at Greencastle. John Owens, who was with him, was arrested several weeks ago. The greater portion of their plunder was recovered.
