"Chris and the Wonderful Lamp, one of the most fascinating entertainments that has been hero in many season?, was pre sented at English's Opera House last night to an audience that taxed the seating ca pacity of the house by Its numbers and etrained the acoustic capacity by ita unre strained enthusiasm. In Tact, the applause came so frequently and in such tremendous volume that now and then a few of .the more self-contained persons In the audience looked about in amazement, as if to dis cover the origin of so much noise, but, catching the Infection themselves, proceed ed at once to swell the volume of sound. Tio one stopped to view tho performance critically; there was no opportunity to do that. Things went at such a spirited gait that when the end of it all came, as was Inevitable, the audienco was not prepared for it, and lingered in the scats and aisles In a manner which suggested entire will ingness to remain for another act. Glen McDonough's operatic extravaganza with the fetching title of "Chris and the Wonderful Lamp" contains about every thing necessary to furnish an evening of solid enjoyment; fun in heaping abundance, beautiful, shapely women, perfectly drilled choruses and ballets, charming effects of light and color, dazzlingly rich scenery and music of tho soul-stirring, blood-moving type, such as John Philip Sousa under stands so well how to compose. An effort to bestow praise for the excellence of the performance In proper quarters would be Incomplete were not duo credit given to Ben Teal, without whose magic skill in stage direction such a delightful affair 'would scarcely be possible. The hits made last night were so numer ous that only a few can be mentioned. Perhaps the two that were most pro nounced were the inspiring rendition of Sousa's new march song, "The Man Behind the Gun," and .the Indescribable specialty contributed by Johnny Page and Nellie Lynch. "The Man Behind the Gun" was rung by Jerome Syke, Bertha Waltxinger, Edna Wallace Hopper, Emily Beaupre, Mabella Baker and a largo chorus of Alad ain's retainers, attired in exceptionally rich and elegant costumes. The element of picturesqueness was strengthened and pa triotic fervor caused to run high by the Introduction of American and English flags, waved with hearty vigor. Nellie Lynch's "talking doll" specialty, united with Johnny Page's remarkable and ludicrous acrobatics, aroused the entire audience, from first floor to topmost gallery, almost to the point of hysterics. Becoming weary from the effort of his acrobatic feats. Page sought to satisfy the audience with a funny " curtain speech, delivered in installments, but only the exercise of a little managerial firmness behind the scenes enabled the per formance to continue according to schedule. Edna Wallace Hopper, who is the per sonlttcatlon of dainty loveliness, with a irnile that might win a throne if properly liPplied. in the role of Chris has extraor dinary opportunity for the play of h?r variety of talents. Fully as winsome as Alice Nellson. she lacks only the tatter's vocal power to put her in the enviable po sition occupied by that little woman. Close ly associated with Miss Hopper at all stages of the performance are Bertha Waltxinger and Emily Beaupre, the for mer distinguished by her beauty and re markable soprano voice, the latter by her statuesque form. Jerome Sykes Is the principal comedian, and belongs to a delightful type. The fund of stage Jokes In Indianapolis, which was at a low ebb, was swollen to goodly pro . portions by the quantity of up-to-date wit ticisms and funny stories handed out by Mr. Sykes with that prodigality associated with men of his ample girth. However. Sykes is not distinguished alone for his ability as a singer and promoter of fun. He Is able to execute some nimble dance steps and Highland flings that compare quite favorably with Johnny Page's best errorts in those directions. -One of the most pleasing, electrical ef fects ever shown in this city is the ballet by i'o young women, who have varl-col- orert incandescent bulbs concealed in a be wlklering variety of places about their bonnets and clothe, which are maninu- lated with such cleverness as to produce surprising ana exquisite results. The scenery shown in 'Chris and the Wonderful Lamp" is the most pretentious of the entire season, and the costumes lul- ly equal it in splendor. A feature of tho performance that pleased immensely was iL. ,Lifll . . ine smiting oi some or the sets in plain iew of the audience, which testinod its catlsfactlon by liberally applauding the rapidity of the work. The ra "drop," slowly unrolling at the back of the stage set for an "on-board-ship" scene, thus giving the effect of a sea voyage, also receiveu uue measure or appreciation. "Chris and the Wonderful Lamp" will be repeated this afternoon and for the last time to-night. It is hardly probable that 4 three performances will suffice to accom modate all who will want to enjoy one of the season's most delightful offerings. "Znza Too Suggestive for Britons. LONDON, April 20. Owing to the aval anche of criticism of the play, the lord chamberlain has ordered a further investi gation of the text of the version of "Zaza" as now played here, with the view of com paring it with the copy originally sub mitted. The possibility of the suppression of "Zaza" is Intimated by the newspapers. Mr. Lastocq. the manager for Mr. Charles Frohman, said he does not anticipate any trouble with the censor. The present text of "Zaza," he says, has been submitted to that official with the expression of a desire to eliminate anything considered in any way objectionable. Nothing, he adds, has lhu9 far reached the management in sup port of the suggestion that the play may be suppressed. Note of ttie Stage. The Little Egypt Burlesque Company will close its engagement at the Empire Theater to-night. "Uncle Josh Spruce by" w ill bring its suc cessful engagement to a close with two per formances at the Park to-day. Many who saw last week's production of "Quo Vadis," at the Grand, will want to see it again next week, with the improved scenery and strengthened cast which are promised.

This version, which is under the direction of Aiden Benedict, has been well received in other cities. After two presentations of "The Butter flies," at the Grand, this week, admirers of the stock company suddenly discovered that ' they were missing one of the best plays of the entire season, with the result that there was a noticeable increase in size of audiences. Indications are that late-com-crs, this afternoon, will experience diffi culty In securing seats. Mrs. G. II. Gilbert, whose stage life cov ers a period of fifty-four years, is one of the principal members of Miss Annie Rus sell's supporting company in Jerome K. Jerome's delightful comedy, "Miss Hobbs," which will be presented at English's next Thursday and Friday nights.

Rich and Har ris, have given their star the best possible surroundings in the way of scenery and supporting cast, and in this new play they have found a character which enables him to surpass all previous efforts. A special feature will be the singing of Mr. Mark's songs with unique effects, one of which is the introduction of a beautiful horse. PERSONAL AND SOCIETY. Mrs. Annat. of Wooster, O..

NEW ENGLAND RETURNS E.Ycrnsiox steamer which was SAID TO HE A PEST SHIP. Statement ly Colonel Fuller Small pox Reported to Have Been Con tracted at Jerusalem. BOSTON, April 2a. The steamship New England, of the Dominion line, which sailed from here Feb. 1 with a party of excur sionists on a European tour, reached this port from Liverpool this afternoon, bring ing 1,111 passengers. Among -the number was no sickness. The arrival of the New England had been awaited with great interest because of the fact that smallpox broke out among the excursionists while the vessel was at Na ples. At that time all but ten of the pas sengers were tisht-seeing in Rome, those remaining on board being ill. As soon as Captain McCauley, of the vessel, knew of the smallpox he made arrangements and sailed from Naples as soon as possible for Liverpool. The authorities, becoming aware of the existence of the disease on the vessel, caused the tourists in Rome to be quaran tined in the Hotel Marine, and an armed guard was placed over them to prevent them leaving the house. The baggage of the tourists had been collected by the ship's officials and placed on shore. Much of this baggage went astray. When the vessel arrived at Liverpool the passengers were all landed, the sick ones being carried to the hospital. The ship was then thor oughly fumigated. Here all of the tourists who had Intended to return to America on the New England, 148 in number, rejoined the ship. The other tourists are scattered all over the continent, the majority of them remaining to visit the Paris exposi tion. The New England left Liverpool April 12. When the vessel reached quarantine this afternoon she was boarded by the health officers, and all who could not show scars were vaccinated. Then, having been given a clean bill, the vessel went to her berth. A few hours before the steamer reached her dock in this city a meeting of her cabin passengers was held, at which a commit tee was appointed to prepare a statement for the press. . Colonel Fuller said in an Interview to night: "This thing ought to be ventilated. The fact that all our baggage was pit aihore in a state of disorder was only a minor trouble. It was Clark's (the excur flon manager) action in attempting to in duce the captain to allow the passengers to come aboard the ship again and his leaving them in the lurch, many of them women, practically stranded, when the ship sailed without them, that has created the out burst of indignation. Captain McCauley said to Clark: 'For God's sake drop your dollars and cents. Do you really want the passengers to come back on this pest ship?' Clark was affected, but said: 'If they don't I am ruined Finally he yield ed." Dr. II. II. Casselberry, of Hazleton. Pa., gave an Interesting account of the out break of the smallpox, saying that he had no doubt this disease was contracted in Jerusalem, and it was probable that the original case was that of Mrs. W. W. Thompson. None of the passengers died after the vessel left Naples, aboard ship, and the three who were sent to the Liverpool hos pital. Capt. and Mrs. M. W. Thompson, of Friendship. Me., and Mrs. J. A. Taylor. of Newton, were all convalescent. There was one death aboard ship after leaving Naples, the boatswain, and he was buried at sea. Rev. G. T. Love, of Oswego, N. Y., and Miss Anna Scoutten, of Winona. Minn., were among those who landed at Naples and died at Rome. These three are the only persons that I know of who died of smallpox, though others may have died at Liverpool. Norman Becker, of Seneca Falls, did not die of smallpox or of con sumption, as has been reported, but of acute yellow atrophy of the liver. The death occurred at Smyrna. JTXINLEY ATTENDS A FAIR. The President HecelTeit sv Cordial Greeting: at the Paterson Armory. PATERSON, N. J.. April 20.-President McKinley, who with Mrs. McKinley is the guest of Mrs. Hobart, widow of the late Vice President at Carroll Hall, took ad vantage of the beautiful spring weather tc-day and went out for a ride in the electric automobile of Mrs. Hobart's run.

The sky, too, was hazy nearly all day, which caused hundreds of people who generally attend the first game to slay away. During the middle of the after noon, when victory seemed a certainty for the Indianapolis team, the clouds broke and showered ill fortune on the home team. It was then that the tide turned and the final result was 7 to 6 In favor of Cleve land. About 2,000 people took chances on getting wet and went to Washington Park. The fact that there were only five cars wait ing at the park to carry the large crowd down town when the game was over was due, it is said; to a" sudden shrinkage of power. The people had different solutions to of fer for the loss of the battle and after dis cussions pro and con had been carried on for some time the consensus of opinion showed that If Cleveland had lost In dianapolis would have won. OLD PLAYERS GREETED. The players of both teams, especially those whose faces were familiar to the Indianapolis enthusiasts, were greeted with hand-clapping, and when the Indianapolis players marched to the field from the club house amid the playing of the band and cheers from the crowds they looked like pennant winners. Both teams made a natty appearance, the Indianapolis men at tired in their white uniform's and the Cleve land players in gray. The game bordered on one of those nerve wrecking contests and it was hard on both the players and the spectators for neither had been trained up to a point where they could ward off nervous prostration re sulting from a close score which might re sult in either team carrying off the vic tory. The nervous feeling came In the fifth inning when the visitors began their scor ing and a presentiment of trouble stole over the spectators. The strain was weak ening, especially to Kellum. who was in the box, and he gave way under it, allow ing the Cleveland men to pile up four runs and get the lead before the side was re tired. From that time on it was give and take until Cleveland, through errors of a moro or less excusable nature, came out victorious. It was the first game In which the mem bers of either team had lined up for real duty and they were on their mettle, but indicated a lack of training and practice that was very noticeable. Manager Wat- klns said after the contest that for the next few days the team possessing the luck would win, as all of the clubs are about of equal strength and will not be able to show their real playing ability until they have had the opportunity to get into bet ter condition and perfect their team work. The outfielders yesterday had trouble owing to the soft condition of the outfleld, and when they started after a hard fly their running was impeded by having to carry extra weight on their shoes. It was largely due to this that the outfielders had errors charged against them. A DISASTROUS INNING. The most disastrous inning to Indian apolis was the seventh, when Cleveland went, in and sent three men across the plate' with only one hit being made in the Inning. An unfortunae bunching of errors, also largely due to the rough diamond, was responsible. Hlckey had hard work in pick ing up a bunt hit, the ball flirting with the fielder by dropping into a hole in the ground as Hlckey reached for it. Later on Dammann threw to Kelly on Pickering's bunt hit and the runner got between the ball and Kelly temporarily, causing the big first baseman to drop it when it landed in his mit. After' all these misplays a little single scored enough runs to win the game. The most brilliant star of the game was Seybold. Indlanapolis's new centerflelder. His stick work and playing in the field was the kind that made the fans forget the temporary shortcomings of other players who have occupied the garden for the In dians. The first time he stepped to the bat he swung and met a hard one full on the bat nnd it sailed fairly over the left field fence, bringing in one run ahead of him. His stock went away above par and kept going higher when later in the game he plunged into the air while running back into deep center field and gathered in a hard hit from Pickering's bat that looked safe. Madison, another new acquisition to the home team, acquitted himself ably. Hartsel had hard luck in left field, missing one easy chance and making a short Jump after another hard one that went for two bases. Flynn's work at second was all that could be desired. Heydon did well behind the bat and when White made the only at tempt during the game to pilfer second Heydon made a beautiful throw to Flynn, catching him by several feet. A VISITING STAR. For the visitors Buelow was the bright particular star, owing to his stick work. In the first inning he sent a hard one to the left-field fence, which was good for a home run, but in turrJng third base he en countered, t a - piece of od . and was unable to extricate himself before the ball was thrown in and he was touched out. The next time ho came up he hit to deep left center for another three-bagger. He wor ried Dammann so much in the seventh in ning that he gave him a pass to first rather than take chances on a hard, safe drive. Buelow was evidently somewhat surprised at his own good stick work so early In the season, for when he made his second three- base mt he stopped at third to swallow his i anxiety and excitement.- delaying the game several seconds.- When Umpire Cantillon called the game "Bumpus" Jones, with a new mustache of luxuriant growth and shiny black, was an nounced as the pitcher for the visiting team, while Kellum did the twirling for Indianapolis. Cleveland went to bat first, and the first two men went out easily. Buelow gave the crowd a scare by putting one against the fence, but was thrown out at the plate. Indianapolis then did much better and scored a trio of runs in their half of the first. Hogrlever went out and Hartsel hit for two bases. Madison failed to see some of the curves that came his way. and he struck out. Then the broad shouldered Seybold came up for inspection. The crack of the bat announced a flight of the ball through the air. The horschide did not rise more than fifty feet above the ground, but sailed on and on until it cleared the left-field fence ancl bowed to the green houses on the far tide of Washington street while he trotted around tho circuit. Kelly hit one to Viox. which he Jupgled un til Kelly reached first. Heydon hit safely, sending Kelly to second, and then Flynn put one in right, scoring the first baseman. Hlckey flew out, leaving two men on bases. There was no more scoring until the fifth inning, but in the meantime there was some pretty playing. KELLUM WEAKENS. In the fifth Inning Kellum began to weaken, and Bierbauer and Diggins, the first two batters to face him, hit safely. Vlox flew out to Hlckey, and Jones hit to left center for two bases. Pickering flew out, and then White hit to left, barely out of Hartsel's reach. Buelow sent another one to left, which Hartsel dropped, allow ing White to cross the plate. Gcnins flew out, retiring the side. Indianapolis lied the score in the last half of the fifth on Pickering's muff of Hartsel's hard drive and Madison's single. In the sixth inning Dammann was sent In to relieve Kellum, and after letting the first man walk a double play was made when Bierbauer came to the bat. The side was retired with no runs. The seventh did the work, however, and Cleveland went three in the lead. A base on balls to Viox, Hlckey's error and Kelly's error let one In. White went out and Buelow was given four bad ones, filling the bases. Genins hit one down the third-base line which it seemed Hlckey should have taken in easily, but it flew past him. That hit did the work, as it sent two men across the plate. A base on balls to Hartsel and muffed flies by Tickerlng and Genins let two Indianapo lis men across the plate in the Inuians' hfilf of the seventh. In the next two in nings Cleveland was retired with no runs. Indianapolis had chances to score in botli the eighth and ninth, but did not. and the game was lost. In the ninth Hogrlever reached first on Pickering's error, and Hartsel flew out. Madison then hit to bierbauer, and a double play dissipated all chances of Indianapolis getting another run. The score was as follows: Indianapolis. A.B. R. H. O. A. E.

The attendance was of the holiday order and the spectators had the satisfaction of seeing Philadelphia defeat Boston in a closely contested, eleven-inning game. There was nothing particular ly brilliant about the game. It was a pitchers battle and Nichols appeared to havo the better of It, but his support was not equal to that of Frazer's. Boston's de feat was the result of two consecutive er rors by Lowe in the eleventh inning. With Lajole on base and ono man out Lowe TOPICS IN THE CHURCHES.

There lay Capernaum, projecting Into the blue dcrths of Tiberias, Its tasaltbuUt houses stand ing? In relief against a dfcp-Jtreen background, its quays frlnel with shirring.

But in this night of irreligion. in this most unexpected jlace, a cereus of faith bursts in radiant bloom. In the garrison, a rroverb of dissipation; in the com mandant's quarters, characterized by imperial hauteur. Is found a humane, humble, benevolent, believing soul, the moral beauty of which causes an ejaculation of surprise and admiration from Jesus' Hps. The rious spirit of the cen turion is feeling after God, if haply he may find him. II Is ready to discard his own wornout religion for a better faith. II overcomes that strongest of rations, the racial rreju dice. II is ready to tit down with thee hook nosed, oily-skinned Jews, und scan their musty scrolls, if only there he may find the way of life. Increasing wealth has not made a niggard of him. lie builds these serfs of his emperor n synagogue, the chiseled marbles of which, lately uncovered, prove it one of the most beautiful ami costly ever erected. Trained in tho cruel school of war, yet he cannot see his slave suffer without compunction. Fo far Is he above the Roman spirit, which esteems a slave a thing rather than a man. He displays a re markable appreciation of the character of Jesus. He is not offended at his humble origin. H makes no disparaging allusion to Narareth. He believes the Master's power may have an extra Israelitifrh display; can be exercised even upon a heathen's drudge. Overwhelmed with a con sciousness of unworthlness. he prefers his re quest by proxy, not In person. Seeing the Mas ter approach, he 6ends another deputation to Him in haste. Aware of the Hebrew ideas of ceremonial pollution, he will not expose the rabbi to euch danger by asking him to enter a gentile home, especially as there is no need. Jesus, too, is an imperial commander. At His order disease will depart and health will come. No wonder Jesus panegyrizes such faith. Ho hastens to embalm it in His praise. He eulo gites It. Considering its source, its degree, its en vironment, it is unmatched by any descendant of him who bore the name of "Father of the Faithful." THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. The centurion's heart was good ground. He was above prejudice. Open to conviction, evi dence had full weight with htm. So far as he knew, Jesus had never declined an application. This encouraged him. though not of the favored race, to make his appeal. W'ould that the same ingenuous mind were in all! There is no reservoir of healing and cleansing power some where in the universe, vaguely connected with the will of God, on which one may draw without personal action on God's part in response. Th power to help us Is a power held In the heart of God, and sent forth to us alone as If there were none other in the universe . at that instant needing help. Packard. In the instance of the centurion the worth "faith" Is used for the first time in the New Testament. He Is the first heathen admitted to the kingdom. Jesus avails himself of the opportunity to enunciate a fundamental principle. In the kingdom con summated, in its triumphant state, it is not sacred lineage or ceremonial righteousness which will give admission, but faith. By this door many from far east and far west shall enter and sit down with the worthies of olden tlmest the banquet of redemption a prophecy marvcl ously fulfilling in cur very day.

Indianapolis and Cleveland ' will play the last game of the first series at Wash ington Park this afternoon, the game to be called at 3:30. Manager Watkins will send Goar or Gardner to the box and Powers will be used behind the bat. Cleveland will probably use Wilson to do the twirl ing. Magoon is still, a little too stiff to play second and Flynn will again cover the bag. The street car company promises improved accommodations for the crowds hereafter. There was not sufficient power yesterday to place extra cars on the line and for this reason many people could not get out to the park and those who did at tend the game found difficulty in returning to the city. The street car company will have new motors placed In the power house by this afternoon and will be able to haul more cars. Ample provision has been made for side-tracking the extra cars and hereafter there will be plenty of cars at the grounds after the game to carry the people to the city. Ilntler Tram Wins.

This week's Christian Endeavor mettlng Is based on one of the moet startling of Christ' utterances. A man visits a king's wedding feant. not having on th wedding garment. What of It? This: "lUnd him hand and foot, and take biro away, and cast him Into outer darkness." Such a climax of the parable is striking evi dence of the estimation in which Jy Is hld by our IxrI. That is because happiness and th expression of it are symptomatic of so much They mean unselfishness, because a harpy man cannot be a sflfith one. They wean purity cf life, because sin is wretchedness. They mean, above everything else, nearness to Christ, be cause He is the source of all Joy. An unhappy man Is already bound hand and foot, and carries his "outer darkness" with him wherever ho goes. No service is valuable until it is Joyful. The painter whoss heart does not sing at his task will paint poor pictures, an5 the cook who grc groaning to her work will bake poor bread. It is not certain that a man will succeed at tls work because he enjoys it, but it is certain that unles he enjoys It he will not succeed. This principle, true of secular work, 1s con spicuously true of religious activity. No servlc Is acceptable to God or profitable to man that is given grudgingly, with a long faee and a gloomy Lrow. It is good to worship In God's houe, and there is a measure of serrlee In It, though cer tainly the phrase, "attending divine service' is wrongly applied to this, which Is rather a blessed preparation for service. Rut if we k to church with "I suppo I must" upon euf tongue and with rebellion In our hearts, there is no worship, and our church-going might al most as well be theater-going. It is good to read the BILIe. but not even th!s heavenly manna ran l-e built up Into the body without an appetite for IL It Is good to pray, when prayer is the longed for talk of friend with friend, son with father If It Is hurried through as a disagreeable tat-k, one might as well whirl a prayer-wheel with, the Thibetans. It is good to give money to Christian enter prises, and money doe good though the hand clutch after it as it falls Into tha contribution box; but God loveth a cheerful giver, and Ha docs cot lovo a giver than groans. Thus, through the entire range of religious services and employments, we must carry th great requirement of Joy. We must do gool deeds from a sense of duty If we can do no bet ter, but wo must never rest till we have com to do them from liking. We must test all cur religion upon the golden touchstone of happiness. Wo must press on In our toll for the Master until it has become no task-work, but a delight, and we have entered, truly and forever. Into the Joy of our Lord. AMOri It.

Sec ond Baseman Jesse Price, and Catcher Hamilton, of Chicago. There arc still sev enteen men on the list. Baseball Notes. Quinn Is not In condition to get Into th game. . , Kellum pitched a good game until h weakened in the fifth inning. Buelow promlfes to be the hardest sticker on the Cleveland team. Guese is suffering from a slight illness and will not be used until next week. The weather permitting Chicago and Milwaukee will play in Chicago to-day. Heydon did well behind the bat. Ills only chance to throw to second resulted ia putting a man out. Dammann was a trifle wild yesterday and his old time cunnlngness was handi capped by the cold wind. White, Cleveland's right fielder, is nn In dianapolis boy. He played a good 'game yesterday but KOt a mark In, the error column by muffing a fiy ball. The Cleveland team hai not enjoyed nny practice this season, but under the care of Manager McAker nnd Captain Beirbauer that organization will be In evidence this season. Phil Geier, of Washington, has Flgr.eJ to rlay lnrit-M for Cincinnati. lie played xvlth t. Paul last year and is fa!d to have beta holding out on Cincinnati for position and more money. Yesterday was the flTft game In whica Manager Watkins has had his men Unci up on a diamond, and while he Is satlsr.ed with their work considering their condition he says in two weeks the people who saw the game yesterday will not recognize the plaing of the men. It is hardly fair to criticise a man's work this early in the game, but there wero errors made yesterday by men on the In dianapolis team who have had the advan tage of practice in the South and thtlr playing was somewhat of a surprise to their friends. But they will "round to" all right in a few days. Manager Watkins said last night he Im HevM Seybold would be the best outfielder in the league when he gets In good condi tion. What Is the matter with him being the best at this time? His work yesterday surely entitles him to that honor, lie made a catch that no other fehler would have done and his home run hit was Elm ply marvelous. ORGANIZATION OF "FERRETS."
