Her performance was a credit to her. The se-nes of the play are many and in teresting. It begin? In a brie-a-bnic sdiop and proceeds through a palace's winUr garden. th' Ace of Spades wine shop at Algiers, a fort, a villa by the pea and a rugged gorge, and ends at Cigarette's "(as tle." Cigarette entered the gorge on a horse, being on her way with a repriev for Cecil, who had been sentenced to death for having Ftruck his colonel. She was intercepted by Iledouins ai.d scape.l in a simoon, riding up the mountain side. In all the scenes the soldiers and the E-douin: move about in natural number and man ner. The play does not approach the real ity of the scenery. At the outset the thea tergoers venerable friend, the forged will, appears, and with it is associated the vil lainous person that seeks to beat his cousin out of his estate and hisses through hi teeth whenever he comes on the stage In the course of the drama. There also is the cold English beauty and her mamma, who are reidy to turn down the h ro when he loses his monev. The hero. 15 rtie Cecil, is a stago hero ar.d thus he is played by Mr. Eugene Ormonde, who does not show ability until late in the action when he re cites to Hnke, his valet, and -Jack." his friend, how he had thrown his brandy and soda into his cousin's face and had chal lenged him to a duel. Th1 two characters Rake and Jack, the latter being the Earl of Rockingham, be come privates in th- French army, assist in presenting the ideal Cigarette, and for this they are praiseworthy. Jack is a stiff and drawling Englishman who should have been 'igarette'.s lover Instead of Cecil and prob ably would have been in life. When he caressed her a wave of approval swept over the footlights. Cigarette is a great girl and worthy a whole play of serious and delightful study, but Mr. Potter is not the playwright to do the work and Mr. Fmh man is too deeply engaged in enriching him self through the easiness of the public to think of such a trivial matter even if he were capable of recognizing it. It is for these reasons that one must turn to one's imagination to fully appreciate the charac ter of Cigarette. The Vaudeville nt the Crnnd. Mrs. Eoucicault, assisted by Herbert 11. Pattee and Miss Nellie Mayer, presents at th? Grand Opera House a sketch written by Augustus Thomas. It Is called "A Proper Impropriety." A Mrs. Milton, im personated by Mrs. Boucicault, had been annoyd by the attentions of a young man whom he did not know. One afternoon, on her return from a matinee, he sent in his card to her. lie had looked like a gentle man, and after some indecision she had her maid admit him. He returned her opera glasses, which she had dropped on getting into her carriage, and began his explana tion by saying- she was like an old sweet heart of his. In the strained conversation they learned that they knew the same per sons in San Francisco. Mrs. Milton was a widow, and their talk drifted imo banter about marriage. The adroit young man succeeded in persuading the widow that he honestly wished to be her friend, and finally she asked him' to stay to dinner. The signs were that each was attracted to th other and that a wedding would be the end of the acquaintance so strangely begun. To keep this affair, delicate as it i, from being either crude or uninterestingly dry is a. hard task, and Mrs. Boucicault, Mr. Pattee and Mia Mayer, a the maid, are delight fully successful. The bill opens with Derenda and Hreen. club Jugglers. One of the men is costumed as a comedian, but the act would be better if he dressed cleanly and centered his at tention on the Juggling. This sort of work is old. and to continue to please the public club Jugglers cannot afford to turn their energies away from devising new tricks and polishing their old ones. Frank 11. White and Lew Simmons offer a sketch based on the aed stranded minstrels idea, but thej' are clever and carry the sketch out well. The audiences laugh, and that is the main object of the thing. Hal Stephens has changed his programme of impersonations. He imitates Weber and Fields, the Kussell brothers, Willis Sweatnam, Johnny Ray and Joseph Jefferson. Each is well done. Mr. Jefferson is mocked seriously as "Rip" with the gnomes of the mountain. He is shown before he drinks the magic liquor and afte; he wakes from his twenty years' Elumber. The stage Is dressed for the scene and the result is impressive. Hamilton Hill, baritone, and John Geiger, violinist, furnish the musical act, and both are pleasing. Mr. Hill arrived in the city.! yesterday afternoon juft ten minuies be fore his turn came, and he had to go on the stage in his traveling clothes, which included tan shoes. His appearance was somewhat startling, inasmuch as he sang serious ballads, but he sang so well that the audience was reluctant to let him go, even afte;- his fourth song. He could not have pleased better if he had been able to get his dress suit out of his trunk. Mr. Geiger has not the temerity to depend on his legitimate violin playing, but his imitations, particu larly the one of the mocking bird, are en tertaining. For an imitation of two violins playing "The Holy City" he gets most ap plause, and this should be a sign that if he played properly he would make a mote profitable Impression than he does with his tricks. Howard's six trained ponies precede the clcsing of the thow by the biograph. A lull spot on the brightness of the en tertainment is the act of James H. Cullen. a singing comedian. The only new material he has Is a song about the Indianapolis fall carnival. He says "strange girls from out of the city will be there" and otherwise ad vertises the carnival in the same brilliant way. He mixes the name of President Mc Kinley with bad grammar in a crude song. In a variety theater he would get short shrift for his stale and vulgar jokes. There should be no place for him at the Grand. Melodrama at the Park. Edward Weitzel In writing his five-act drama "The Tide of Life" has used as many sensational incidents as he could put into it without crowding. As presented yester day at the Park Theater there was at no time any lack of stirring events to keep the audience at a high pitch of excitement. The plot of the piece has been taken from New York river life. Dan Gillette, an Americanized Italian, has plied the trade of river pirate for years. He has in his em ploy a number of accomplices, among them Henry Holland, who becomes the son-in-law of Judge Morley. a wealthy ship owner. Gillette is brought before Judge Morley, who is on the bench, on a charge of mur der. He is convict d of manslaughter and sentenced to ten years' imprisonment. His young daughter is adopted by Judge Mor ley. One of Judge Money's ships is robbed one night while it is lying at the lock in the East river. A detective finds that Henry Holland. Judge Morley's trusted partner, i.s one of the thieves. The detective sends a telegram late one night asking Judge Morley to come to his oftice in the city. Holland and Gillette plan the killing of Judge Morlev. At this juncture Jill, a wharf girl, who" is an ab ducted daughter of Judge Morley, attempts to frustrate the plans if the two men. She Is too late to catch tlv: men on th? way to the train, but waits until it passes on the outskirts of the city. The train is running at high speed when she jumps from a cliff anil lights safely on the top of a coach. Nothing is accomplished by the young woman's ilaring. Judge Morley is met at his office by the detective. The latter tells the judge of the robbery and implicates Holland. " Jillette then mysteriously turns up and tells Mor ley where his daughter is living. The judge becomes excited in his talk with Gil lette and is knocked senseless. Jill, who is outside and witnesses the affair, calls the polite. (Jillette and Holland attempt to es cape. Holland jumps from a second-story window and is electrocuted on the strett wiles, while Gillette is shot by a police man. The company is larg.v Frank Kilday plays the part of Pan Gillette and puts a great deal of his heart into it. Miss Anna lriver assumes the character of Jill and is full of life. "Barbara Frietchie" will be pnsented at the Park on Thursday. Variety at the Empire. Sam Rice, as a member of the Topsy Turvy Purl'siuers. shows that as a He brew impersonator he has lost none of his humor. In the opening burlesque Rice is the central figure as the Hebrew landlord. He is so energetic in his labor for liveliness that in the nnening scene he allows himself to be guilty of several suggestive remarks. Aside from this fault the show moves along nicely.

At the new Garrirk Theater to-night Richard Mansfield and his company gave the initial performance of "Reaucalre," a play made from P.ooth Tarkington's romantic novel ette, "Monsieur Deaucaire," by Mr. Tark ington and Evelyn Greenleaf Sutherland, of Boston. It was the first ierformance at the Garrick. The theater is not yet complete, but the mfini?hel details were not apparent to the audience, which was composed of Philadelphia society people and filled the house. The play was enthusiastically re ceived, and though a "first night" is not a measure of a play's future success, "Reau calre" seems to have the elements that win popular favor. Mr. Mansfield has the mas tery of the French accent that the title role requires, and he acted the part grace fully. Mr. Tarkington and his family and several of his friends had come from In dianapolis for the presentation of the play. The plav is in four acts and diverges from the lines of the novelette. Lady Mary Car lisle confesses her love to Reaucalre even after his being disgraced, and at the end they are betrothe.i. Both these incidents are'foreign to the book. In the latter Beau cair.j goes back to France to wed his cousin, leaving Lady Mary to recover from her humiliation as best she may. The dram atists and Mr. Mansfield decided that in this melodramatic day tho new climax would be most profitable for stage use. Mr. Mansfield will be seen in "Monsieur Reaucalre" at English's Opera House, in this city, later in the season. His engage ment is for two nights. Arthur IIjtoi as Star. CHICAGO. Oct. 7. Arthur Ryron made his first appearance as a star at the Stude baker to-night in Asa Steele's new revolu tionary play. "Petticoats and Bayonets." The theater was filled with an enthusiastic audience.

He Wnw Absent Six Month anil Snvr Many Lands Traveled with Martinis Ito. United States Senator Albert J. Rcveridge arrived home late yesterday afternoon from bis extended trip through Europe and the Orient. The senator has probably never looked better than he does after his ocean voyage and his sojourn in various foreign lands. He is not greatly tanned, nor yet is he pale according to his former wont. His face wears a slight appearance of fa tigue that is only natural and that will disappear with a few days' needed rest. Senator Revtridge was averse to discuss ing his foreign trip, but it is known that in the six months of his absence from the United States ho has gone around the world, making special excursions to points which he particularly desired to look into. He passed a short time in England, a somewhat longer time in Germany and so journed In Russia a considerable period. The greater part of his time abroad, how ever, was passed In the Orient, particularly in Manchuria, through which he traveled from one end to the other. This was his first visit to tho latter country. Senator Beveridgo revisited the Philip pines and studied carefully conditions as they exist in those islands at present, com pared with conditions of two years ago, when he made his first visit to the Philip pine archipelago. The senator attended sessions of the civil commission of the archipelago, and also attended sessions of the municipal board having charge of the government of Manila and the various other departments of government. He paid con siderable attention to the practical working of governments in the interior, and inves tigated the new Philippine constabulary, which is expected to take the place of the army when it is perfected. When asked for an expression concerning these Investigations Senator Beveridge said he would prefer not to discuss them. It is understood, however, that he had numerous extended interviews with Governor Taft and General Chaffee. TALKS OF MARQUIS ITO. On the return trip the senator revisited Japan and was a fellow-passenger on the steamer with Marquis Ito, of Japan, on the voyage across the Pacific. Senator Beveridge met the Marquis Ito two years ago in Tokio and conferred with him con cerning the Philippine problem at that time. When asked for information concerning the personality and work of Marquis Ito, the senator was willing to talk. "The Mar quis Ito," he said, "Is the first statesman of the Orient and perhaps the greatest states man the Orient has ever produced. He is the creator of modern constitutional Japan. He is the maker of Japan's constitution. From the time the Emperor was estab lished upon the temporal throne and the Shoguns were deprived of power. Marquis Ito has been the closest confidant and counselor of the Emperor and usually prime minister of the empire." "Marquis Ito is about sixty years of age." continued Senator Beveridge, "and with the exception of Diaz, of Mexico, is the only man now living who has created a govern ment and lived to see its complete success. Perhaps it is safe to say that he has had the most varied and adventurous and in teresting career of any living public man. He speaks English lluently, but with an accent." "What is his chief object In coming to this country?" the senator was asked. "Oh, I cannot undertake to say that," he replied. "For his health, I think. At least, that Is what he told me." It Is understood that Senator Beveridge made a special study of Manchuria and Russian expansion and railroad enterprise In that very considerable portion of the Chinese Empire. He was requested to give an expression of his views on the far East ern question. "I do not care to go into the far Eastern question," he said. "It is too large a sub ject and too complex to speak about with accuracy or comprehensiveness in an inter view unless the interview were carefully prepared 'beforehand. It is not a subject to be discussed loosely because such a treatment gives one a truthful umlerstand ir.g of a great subject, and the far Eastern question is a great subject, perhaps the most complicated and important in the whole world of any question now before the various nations. To us of course it is particularly so because our ever growing surplus products must find . an ever enlarg ing market. The bulk of our products is consumed at home and In Europe, and therefore to the Orient more than to any other portion of the world we must look for a market for this surplus. The preser vation and Increase of this market thus touches immediately our national and in dividual prosperity, and It will be con tinuously and increasingly Important. "How to enlarge the Oriental markets or even how to keep Oriental ports perma nently open to American goods at all. how for the benefit of the American producers to dispose of the complications which every day are growing more complex Is the larg est question of our immediate future." CHANGES IN PHILIPPINES. "What do j-ou think about conditions In the Philippines now? Do they show any marked change since your previous visit?" Senator Beveridge was asked. "Of course, there is a change many changes." he replied. "When I was there before it was a state of war from one end of the archipelago to the other." Beyond this the senator declined to talk last night. When asked as to his plans for the future he said: "I shall be In Indian apolis steadily and continuously from now on until Congress convenes. I expect to be in my office every day." "When did you first hear of President McKinley's assassination?" "It was brought out by boat to our ship op the ocean off Nagasaki, Japan, on the 10th of September. I was dazed at the awful intelligence, and can searcelv realize its full force even now." When he was asked for an expression concerning the late President Senator Bev eridge said: "At no time lnce I received the terrible news have I felt equal to an expression on the subject, and I do not feel equal to i: now. The grief of all of us is so leep that I think everybody still feels numbed, as it were. At least I do. I do not know that I could give any better estimate of President McKinley than I gave in a speech delivered In the Auditorium at Chi cago last September." JEAN GERARDY'S PROGRAMME. Composition to lie Playe! ly the Ilel. I&iaii 'Cellist at the I'rnpy laenni. The programme to be played by Jean Ger ardy, the Belgian 'cellist, at the Propy laeum to-morrow night, with Mrs. S. L.

The directors of th Indianapolis &- Shel byville interurban road signed bonds with the city of Shelbyville yesterday to secure the franchise necessary to enter that city with the new electric road. Tho contract for the construction of the road has been let to Townsend. Reed fc Co.. of Chi ago. The grading of the road will begin at once and the contract for the r;ils will be let f.r delivery in November. The road may be completed by March 1. If the contractors are successful in securing electrical ma chinery, and if not the road will be ready for use before June 1. The contractors se cured ground near Shelbyville yesterday for the location of the power house. "BEN-HTJR" NOT TO COME HERE. Engagement Canceled on Account of the Heaviness of the Spectacle. Ad F. Miller, manager of English's Opera House, announced last night that "Ren Hur," the play made from General Wal lace's novel, will not be presented in this city. It was expected that it would be seen here for two consecutive weeks. When Klaw & Erlanger, the promoters of the dramatic spectacle, learne! the dimensions of English's stage they informed the man agement of the theater that it would cost JlI.ouO to make the necessary alterations. It cost nearly that amount to prepare the stage of the Illinois Theater, in Chicago, for "Ben-IIur," but the run there will be so long that the expenditure will be justified by the profits. Crawfordsville people ar ranged some time ago to go to Chicago on a special train to see their fellow-townsman's novel on the stage. RALPH REED RELEASED JUDGE DALY'S NAME TSED, III T 0T I1V HIS AUTHORITY. He Sayn Such Use of Ills Name la Forgery Jail Emptied of Democrats. Jailer Wlltsie said yesterday that every person remaining in the jail and who might possibly have a vote at this lection is a Republican. Every man but one sent from Police Court who was released upon order from Judge Daly was a Democrat. The ona exception was Ralph Reel, who was arrested several days ago and charged with being a confidence man. He was awaiting trial, and was released yesterday upon an order signed, as had others before in the day, by Judge Daly. Last night Judge Daly heard of the re lease of Reed, and said he had issued no order for his release, and that if he had been given his liberty upon any order bear ing his name it was a forgery. There is only one place where blanks such as releases are to be found, and that is the city clerk's office. In that office are also rubber facsimille stamps of Judge Daly's signature, the use of which la limited to himself and the city clerk. Judge Daly ad Vised tho police department of the facts last night, and an order was immediately sent out for the return of Reed to the prison, if he could be found. There is little probability of his capture here, as he was identified through the Lertillon system as a notorious crook, and without doubt left the city at once. It was not thought his release upon a forged order was for the purpose of permitting him to vote, as a term in the penitentiary was staring him in the face. It seems rather that the re lease of a number for Democratic political purposes sent from Police Court to the jail was an occasion which was taken advan tage of by some one to .jive Reed his free dom. BIG BATTLE TO-DAY. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) fifteen minutes, the board may, by unan imous consent of all the members, close the polls." PROIIII1ITIOX .MEETING. Thnt Party AVIII Hnve "Watcher at the Polls To-IJny. The Prohibitionists closed their cam paign with a meeting of the Prohibition League in their hall last night. Quincy Lee Morrow, of this city, now doing work for the national committee, was the speaker of the evening. After his address the meeting became a Prohibition love feast, with a long string of five-minute testimonials. The closing speeches were made by the candidates for city offices. The Prohibitionists have arranged to have watchers In all of the precincts when the votes are counted. It is their belief that Prohibition votes were counted out at the last municipal election, and they propose to take measures this time to see for them selves. After the meeting the precincts that had not been supplieit with watchers were filled. The Prohibitionists also held a meeting in West Indianapolis, and rem nants of this meeting arrived in time to take part in the big meeting. Demoerats Released from Jail. The Democrats have practically released every Police Court prisoner in the Marion county jail, the only ones remaining being a few hide-bound Republicans. A. B. Wilt sie, county Jailer, said yesterday that it was the first year since he had been con nected with the Jail that sentences have ever been remitted. Beginning a month ago, he said, orders began coming in reg ularly for the redease of men whose sen tences would not have terminated until after the election. The orders are all signed by Judge Daly, and the jail officials cannot refuse to honor them. The most recent case is that of Ralph Reed, a Chicago crook, with a penitentiary record, who was given sixty lays on Fri day and released on the order of Judge Daly on Saturday for no other reason than that he would vote the Democratic ticket. Thirty-Five Men atnrallxed. There was a bigger rush than usual yes terday of foreigners who wished to file their applications for naturalization papers in order that they might vote to-day. All day long the county clerk's office was crowdel by men not naturalized and their friends who accompanied them as witnesses. When the office close! the record showed that thirty-five had declaced their intention of becoming citizens of the United States. Colored Republican Meeting.

Richmond to Entertain State Y. M. C. A. Missionary Meeting; at .Madison Carnivals Ilenonuced. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. FRANKLIN. Ind., Oct. 7. The sixty ninth annual Baptist State Convention will be held in Franklin this week, beginning Tuesday evening and closing Friday even ing. About WO representatives are expected from the &X or more Baptist churches of the State. The attendance, it is expected, will be larger than usual, as this city is centrally loeated, easy of access and being the seat of the Baptist college it is con sidered the denominational town of the State. Franklin had the honor of entertain ing the first State Convention, in 132, but It has been thirty-two years since the last State gathering here. The sessions will be held in the First Bap tist Church, of which Dr. Wallace St. John is pastor. This and the other Baptist churches of the community have been busy the past week preparing for the entertain ment of the convention. In acconlance with a vote taken last year the local church is xrected to provide lodging and break fast for the ministers and other properly accredited delegates who have sent in no tice of their expectation of attending. On arrival in the city delegates will go to the church for assignment to places of enter tainment. Since the Baptist organization is congregational In form the convention does not legislate for the churches. Its pii mary purpose, according to the by-laws, is to "unite the denomination in some plan for promoting the Redeemer's kingdom in tin State." and its secondary purpose is to "encourage missionary and kindred de nomiatlonal organization over which the convention has no Jurisdiction."
