A good, etrens show Is being given at the Empire this week by the Mlaco City Club company. The vaudeville part of the pro gramme Is particularly strong. XXX Last night Chiquita. the midget, cave her first reception at the Zoo, having recovered entirely from the fatigue of travel. To-nlght a benefit will bo given for the Hyde Tarlc 21. K. Church. XXX The story of "Two Little Vagrants," the melodrama coming to the Park next Mon day afternoon, to remain three days, is rwlft In action and strong In interest, deal ing with the deepest of human passions, loe, Jealousy, revenge and remorse. xxx One who drops in at the Park Theater the forepart cf the present week and notes the large audiences dra'.vn by the revival cf Hartley Campbell's Russian melodrama, 'Siberia." must marvel that plays last t.o short a period in higher-priced theaters. xxx Johnstone Bennett, who heads the vaude ville programme at the Grand next week, is - only another of the prominent people lured from the legitimate to the vaude ville stage. Miss Dennett and her little company will present a sparkling comedi etta entitled "A Quiet Evening at Home." xxx "William A. Urndy and Joseph R. Crismer will present their elaborate production cf the funny three-act farce, "A Stranger in a Strange Land," at the Tark Theater tho last half of the rurrent week, beginning to morrow afternoon. This Is the first ap pearance of this piece in this city at popu lar rrices. xxx The announcement that Herbert Caw thorn, the German dialect comedian, who has been engaged for "The Trinui Donna" at the Herald-square Theater, New York, Ir. a member of the Alice Xeilsen Opera Company. Is erroneous. He is a brother of Joseph Cawthorne, who is Miss Ncilsen's German dialect comedian, and who will continue as such. xxx The reason for the popularity and charm of vaudeville may be detected in the fact that at the Grand Opera House this week people are hedrlng Camllle H'Arvllle, the beautiful comic opera s-tar of the wonderful voice, at one-third the price obtained by her hen traellng at the head of her own oper atic company, to say nothing of the other excellent features In the unusually long bill. XXX Many people failed to see Creston Clark, the fine young romantic actor, and his tal ented, beautiful associate, Miss Adelaldo Prince, on the occasion of their visit to English's Opora House last season, but the fine Imprcss.on made at that time on those who did see them will doubtless be found to have borne fruit when Mr. Clark und Miss Prince reappear at English's next Wednesday and Thursday nights in a splen did scenic production of "The Only Way." XXX The RoMon Lyric Opera Company lays no claim to presenting the operas in its reper tory in the same finished style that char acterizes original productions made singly. Nor does Colonel Thompson, the director of the enterprise, ask the scale of prices charged for such productions. The claim Is made, however, that all who see "The Idol's Eye" to-morrow night and Saturday fternoon. "Wiiiii;' I'rM.iy n'sht and -The Fencing- Ma Her' Stttmlay night will bo both pleased and sntlsi'ud. M x x , When Wm. Winter, the well-known New fork dramatic critic, praises an actress or a production his words carry great weight, for Mr. Winter has long passed the aga when enthusiasm casts Judgment out of balance.

Mr. Winter said: "So new English actress so original, so clever and k interesting. as Miss Spois ha. appeared here since tho day of Ada Cavendish, whom, in point of dash,' vivaci ty and executive energy, she resembles."

A TROOP OF REFORMERS THE AMI-nOADIIOl SH I.EAGl E OX THE WARPATH. Women Visit Drnfc Store mid Use Moral SiiiiMloti nn the Proprie torsOne Mnn Ready to Quit. The unspecting citizen returning to his home in North Indianapolis last night would at once have become Imbued with the belief that Carrie Nation, reinforced by a band of sympathizers, had unexpectedly returned to this part of the country with the Intent of demolishing every thi'isr in sight. The suburb wt probably never in such a ferment before, and the excitement was directly attributable to a band of women, all members of an organization known as the North Indianapolis Anti-roadhouse As sociation, who made the rounds of a num ber of drug stores in North Indianapolis for the purpose of charging the proprietors with the illegal sale of Intoxicating liquors and warning them of the consequences un less they discontinued that branch of their business. Only three drug stores were visited, but by the time the women had reached the last one the streets were crowded with men and boys who followed and cheered them on their way. The women were headed by Mrs. A. Clark, secretary of the Anti-roadhouse Association, and each was decorated with a badge on which was printed in bold letters the words, "The whisky Joints must go." The badge was fastened with a pin in the shape of a hatchet. The first place visited was the drug store owned by Cart wright Stowers. The women entered sing ing in brave tones and with determined faces the hymn, "Onward, Christian Sol dier." CALLED FOR THE PROPRIETOR. As soon as they were all assembled Mrs. Clark stepped up to the clerk, who had been listening to the song with a smile on his face, and asked for the proprietor. The bland young man behind the counter in formed the women In a loud voice that Mr. Stowers was not in. At first there was a disposition to doubt the young man's as sertion, but when he had reiterated the same statement several times the band of antl-saloonists withdrew and betook them selves to the drug store of John Powell. This time the proprietor was in. and as Foon as order was restored Mrs. Clark ad vanced to the front of the crowd and be gan to address the astounded drug store keeper on the Iniquities of rum selling. "It is the general belief of all of our citizens," said Mrs. Clark, "that the principal busi ness In which you are engaged in this so called drug store is that of the Illegal sale of intoxicating liquors. Not only have we plenty of evidence that you are violating the laws of the State, but you have ad mitted it yourself by pleading guilty when brought Into court by an organization." After dwelling on the demoralization to the neighborhood that came from alleged viola tions of the laws by druggists, Mrs. Clark concluded by saying: "We have been long suffering. Patience has now ceased to be a virtue, and we feel that we will be held ac countable should we permit this disgrace ful violation of law to continue In our midst." During the whole time that Mrs. Clark was speaking the proprietor of the store never uttered a word. When she had concluded he still preserved his taciturnity and gave no sign that-he was aware of any other presence In the room than his own. His silence left no room for further argu ment or appeal and the women were forced to withdraw totally uncertain as to the good or bad effect their visit might have had. ANOTHER TRIAL. Mustering their courage for another trial, they next visited the drug store of Joseph Firquln. In this place they were cour teously received by tho proprietor, and after they had finished their songs and Mrs. Clark had delivered her speech. Id their great astonishment Mr. Firquln came out from behind his counter and stated that he fully agreed with everything that had been said, and that he had been trying to get rid of his place for the past two weeks. He said If they would give him two weeks more he would sell out and leave the placa r.nd never go Into the liquor business again. Some one began to sing "Praise God from Whom All Messing Flow," and the wom en, with joyous faces and some with tears in their eyes, took hold of Mr.. Firquin's hand and called him "brother." After leaving the store the women disbanded and went to their homes. The Anti-roadhouse Association of Norlh Indianapolis was organized about the mid dle of February, and It now claims a mem bership of l,4oo. since Its organization the members of the association have waged a bitter warfare against the saloons and other liquor resorts of that part of the city, with the intention of ultimately wiping them out. The move made by the women Of the association last night was at the suggestion of their husbands and parents. EMMANUEL BAPTIST. The Second Anittinl Celeliratlou Drawii JMfX Audience.

STRIKE OF CARPENTERS AnotT THREE HlMlREI) 3IEX RE rtsi:i) to ;o to wuhk. Daring: the liny Thirty Contractors Siuncd the sicnle Tailors to Strike Other .Mntter. The carpenters' strike Is now on in earnest. Yesterday all the carpenters em ployed by contractors who refused to sign the new scale, which embodies an advance ol 5 cents an hour, were called out. About three hundred men are affected. A com mittee of the carpenters visited many of the contractors yesterday and succeeded m getting thirty to sign the new scale. As fast as the contractors sign the men will be allowed to go back to work. Among those who signed the scale yesterday was J. E. Shover, one of the largest contractor in the city. He paid the union wage scale before, but has never recognized the union. The carpenters look upon this settlement as Indicative that the other large contractors ill follow. The large contractors who bave so far refused to sign are J. A. Schu macher, W. I. Jungclaus & Son, George W. Stanley, Jones Pres. and E. J. Craig, and the nonunion contractors are Henry Dol man. Charles Hamilton, John Stewart, Henry Pauli and Charles Muerge. The strike Just at this time will not seri ously affect the building trades, as most of the large apartment houses, fiats and busi ness blocks are not far enough along to require much carpenter work. Most of these large buildings are not above the foundations, but should the strike last a few weeks work will have to be suspended. The ollirers of the union say they hope to reach a settlement before the strike seri ously interferes with the building industry. For the first time the contractors have organized, and a meeting will be held to night to consider the carpenters' demands. It Is thought that since the contractors have decided to act as a body a settlement will be reached without much further dif ficulty. The carpenters held a meeting in their hall between 5 and 5 o'clock yesterday evening to listen to the report of the com mittee that had been soliciting contractors to sign the scale in order to rind out if they could return to work this morning. Those attending the meeting were principally strikers. Some of thv contractors who al lowed the men to go out yesterday morn ing signed, and the men will return to-day. Others still refuse to sign. At the meeting the carpenters voted Jto stand by their de mands and make no concessions. Those who work for contractors who have not signed signified their willingness to remain out until a settlement Is reached. TAILORS WILL STRIKE. Union Men Employed by All bat Two Firms Will init To-Dny. The Journeymen Tailors held a special meeting last night and decided to strike at noon to-day. The strike will affect all the large tailor shops In the city, with the ex ception of A. J. Treat & Son and the Foster tailoring establishment. These firms have contracts signed with the union until next fall. At least sixty journeymen will strike unless some of the tailors give In and sign the agreement. There are not enough union tailors in the city to completely tie up the tailoring establishments, but they are so strongly organized that the business will to a great degree be suspended. The demand of the Journeymen is for a slight Increase, but the real purpose of the strike Is for recognition of the union. The tailors want to unionize all of the tailoring establishments in the city, and the per cent, of increase above the union scale that Is asked is of no material consequence except to the tailors who employ nonunion men and pay considerably less than union wages. W. A. Landgraf has been appoint ed special organizer by the National Union of Journeymen Tailors to organize the tail ors of Indianapolis, and while the strike is on he will devote his time to getting non union men into the union. HARDWOOD FLOOR LAYERS. All the Men Notv Out and the Work Is Tied The Hardwood Floor Layers' Union has succeeded in completely tying up their de partment of labor, and the business of hardwood floor laying is suspended for the time being. This complete suspension was accomplished yesterday when the two hard wood floor layers who have continued to work while the strike was on quit work and came into the union. None of the hard wood floor laying contractors has signed the scale and action is postponed until a meeting of the employers is held to decide upon a basis of settlement. Charles II. Comstock, vice president and manager of the Interior Hardwood Com pany, is out of the city and the other con tractors are awaiting his return before holding a meeting to decide what to do with the demands of the union. Yesterday It was said that one contractor had agreed to sign the scale, which is $2.50, for a nine hour day. Organizer John Rlue, of Central Labor Union. Is conducting the strike for the hardwood floor layers, and State Labor Commissioner McCormack also has the matter In hand. He expects to be able to accomplish a settlement when the contrac tors hold their meeting. WILL -OT INTERFERE. Mine Workers Executive Hoard Con siders Indiana Difficulties. The executive board of the United 'Mine Workers held a session yesterday morning and decided to not interfere in the pending strike In the block eoal district or Indiana, where the miners are threatening to go out on account of the contention over the pow der question. The board acted as adviser in the matter, but the directions sent to the local officers of the Rrazll district were not made public. The purchase of powder is a question that has always more or less agi tated the miners, and the board and na tional officers are carefully watching the outcome of the present situation in the block coal district. President Van Horn, of the Indiana district, conferred with the board yesterday relative to the situation, but the result of his interview was also suppressed. It Is understood that the board refused to take a hand in the matter unless the powder claim is stricken out of the proposed agreement, which would leave the miners free to purchase powder In the open market Instead of from the company. Rou tine matters oecuirted tho board s attention the rest of the session. ORDER OF GOLDEN CROSS. Grand Commandern of Indiana Meets and Elects Officers.
