Tho Kneinel Quartet.
The fashionable audience of large propor
tions which greeted the Kneisel Quartet at
the Claypool Auditorium last night was
treated to an instructive and unconven
tional programme of beautiful musk music
aiming at nothing but bauiy. It was the
tirst concert ever given in Indianapolis by
this Justly celebrated string quartet, and
the four instrumentalists more than lived
up to he high reputation that had pre
ceded them
The quartet 13 composed of Franz Kneisel,
first violin; J. Theodorowicz. second violin;'
Louis Svecenski. viola, and Alwin Scp.e
der, vlolo cello, and each one of these men
is an artist of the first rank, capable of
filling the difficult position of concert so
loist. But it is as an organization that the
Knelsels, as they have come to be called,
shine pre-eminently; the four instruments
are played in such perfect unison that they
become as one instrument, and it is the un
usual unanimity of purpose that character
izes a concert by this little band of players.
The ensemble performance throughout the
evening was beyond criticism, and this city
has never heard such exquisite chamber
music before.
Perfection of technique, fullness of tone
and a thorough understanding of the
thought and intent of the composer these
features are what make a concert by the
Kneisel Quartet a musical evening to be
remembered. There is no "freaklness' in
the interpretations by the Kneisels, for
they are too much in earnest to resort
to that expedient which Is so often forgiven
m great musicians playing to the gallery.
It may be argued by some that there is a
lack of passion in their playing at times,
and while this criticism may have some
foundation on fact, still there is anything
but coldness in their playing. The tone Is
ever soft, clear and warm, and for the
very reason that passionate playing is
withheld or perhaps impossible there is
never the least "stringiness" noticeable
in their work. It will be remembered that
at one of the concerts in this series the
performance of a really tine 'cellist was
greatly marred by his seeming inability to
hold his own feelings In reserve. The ear
was shocked occasionally by the "stringy"
quality of his playing, but last night, in
the performance of the Kneisels, the ear
was always soothed as the harmonic
-trains fell upon It with wondrous smoolh-n-ss
and sweetness.
The programme was a typical Kneisel
programme the kind for which this ad
miruble organization has become cele
brated. It opened with the Beethoven Quar
tet in B fiat major. Op. IK, No. 2, a work
fhat brought out the exceptional "oneness"
of feeling, of phrasing, and of style of these
four instrumentalists who have been play
ing together for so long a time. The per
formers appeared to be guided by a com
mon inspiration and the large audience
was at once awakened to a realisation of
the thoroughly artistic merit of their In
terpretation of this magnificent composi
tion. The second number was Chopin's
"Lento" for violoncello, with the accompa
niment of the other stringed instruments.
It was the only programmed selection with
a solo part, and Mr. Scroeder gave a very
musitianly reading of the study, the mel
ody in the bass being rendered by him in
a fashion that was rarely satisfying. The
applause was loud and long after this num
ber, and finally the 'cellist responded with
an encore number, without accompaniment
Bach's "Saralande," from his third suite
which gave further proof of his great abil
ity. The Qrelg "Romance," in O minor, which
opened the second half of the programme,
was, perhaps, the most enjoyable selection
of the evening, und it was greeted with the
most rapturous demonstration of approval.
Its delicious melody was played in a most
poetic way. and the audience seemed so
deeply absorbed in the beautiful music, and
its equally beautiful interpretation, that a
most unusual stillness settled over the au
ditorium. The applause at the conclusion
of this sublime performance left no room
for doubt as to the conquest which the
Kneisels had made. The musicians ac
knowledged the demonstration with the
only extra ensemble number of the even
ingthe andante movement of the qunrtet
In D major by Tschiowski. The conceit
came to an end with a reading of Dr.
Dvorak's quartet in F major, Op. 90 a com
position that is at once romantic and mvH-
teriotis, eloquent, thrilling and irresistable.
It was given a most artistic rendering,
and was a fitting finish to a musical even
ing that will surely linger pleasantly in the
memories of all who were fortunate enough
to be present.
"A Japanese Xlfthtlnjtnle" To-Mght.
What is considered by the management
of English's Opera House to be one of the
most important attractions of the local sea
son will be the appearance at that play
house to-night and to-morrow night of "A
Japanese Nightingale," William Young's
stage version of the pretty novel by Onoto
Watanna, There seems to be a prevailing
impression that the piece Is a musical show,
whereas it is a serious drama from begin
ning to end. There are musical features In
it, however, as a large chorus is heard in
several of the scenes depicting Japanese
life.
Preparatious have been making for the
production of "A Japanese Nightingale" for
two years; artists were brought to New
York from Japan to design the costumes
aud effects, to supervise the Japanese
dances, and to generally impart the air of
verslmilltude to every detail of the produc
tion. The scenery is said to be an exact
reproduction of the locale which it pictures.
The play itself Is a love story between an
Am. rii an collegian aud a Japanese maiden.
It is said, to be wholesome in theme and
dramatic in treatment, and at the same
time free from melodramatic horrors. Its
characters are tiesh-and-blood people, if
they have been successfully transplanted
from the novel, and their actions possess
human interest. Much music has been espe
cially composed to accompany and Illustrate
the play, and there Is a large ballet, as
well as a chorus, in addition to the acting
members of the cast.
Daniel Frohman thought so well of the
production that he purchased It outright
from Klnw & Erlunger last week, and the
local performances will be the first under
his personal direction. Margaret Illlngton,
who in private life la the wife of Mr. Froh
man. will appear as the Japanese maiden
the heroine of the story and Orrin Johnsou,
a tine young actor whose home Is in In
diana, will be seen in the leading male char
acter. Mr. Johnson is pleasantly remem
bered for his excellent portrayal of the title
role lu the M i !,!.. a. lams production of
"The Little Minister." Other prominent
players who will appear in hading parts are
Vincent Serrano. Mav Buckley. Frederick
Perry. Robert McWade, jr., Olive May,
Thomas luce, Frank Ollmrrc Miriam
Hutchins and Lucy Millikeu. The curtain
will rise to-night promptly at 8:05.

A literary actress will be at English's
Saturday with Howard Kyle In "Rose
mary." Sadie Handy, the leading woman
of the company, has recently written a
novel entitled "A Girl of Her Sort." It
deals with the life of a youug woman of
the stage. Although no novice in the vi
cinity of the footlights, the young ac
1 1 -s-author has taken up the cudgel in be
half of her sister players, and in her book
makes this declaration: "The average ac
tress is associated in the minds of most
people with a young woman who has aa
abnormal appetite for expensive table lux
uries and unquenchable thirst for wine,
r tinues of servants, broughams and auto
mobiles to spare. The facts of the matter,
however, are. the home of the youug ac
tress away from her home is generally a
cheap hall room. She knows no fashionable
restaurant, and when she is hungry, she
eats only that which she can afford. Mo-t
girls aie not in the small, and sometimes
silent, parts bn-..use it is their desire they
are there b ause they know that must
be the beginning of a britliunt career if
they have in themselves the making of
!tlsts."
New York theatrical circles are talking
about a piece of professional courtesy on
the purt of Welr & Fields, the famous
burlesque managers. It seems that the
all-star Weber At Fields stock company,
which xs soon to start on Its annual tour
of the country, has postponed tu engage
ment in Boston and "filled the dates" In
other cities because of the fact that their
appear an co Ln .La Hub ui the tiuue time
of Indianapolis
RAYMOND HITCHCOCK
Who Will Le Seen Here Next Week In
"The Yankee Consul."
Lew Dockstader's minstrels are playing an
engagement there would seriously hurt the
business of the latter attraction. When
Joseph Weber heard that Dockstader was
to play against the big burlesque show he
promptly changed his bookings. He said
that he understood the poor condition of
theatrical affairs and knew that, as the
Weber & Fields company is especially pop
ular in Boston, the minstrels would not
draw such large audiences as they would
if they did not have serious opposition.
Dockstader says that It was the most gen
erous act he ever heard of in his whole
career in the theatrical business.
There are hundreds of chorus girls out of
work in New York and as no new musi
cal productions are scheduled for the near
future, the outlook does not appear very
bright for them. George R. White, manager
of the "Sergeant Kittle" company, said
to a newspaper man, in discussing the real
ly pitiful state of affairs: "Applicants
have been simply pouring iu on us for the
last ten days. And it is not the quantity
that has surprised me, but the quality.
Few are stage-struck amateurs. Nearly all
are experienced chorus girls, with good
records chow girls who would be only too
glad to step back into the chorus at any
salary. Then, too, persons who have played
small parts are begging for chorus work.
"I think this surfeit of chorus girls will
be brought to the attention of the various
actors' organizations before the winter
is over. The reaction from the tremen
dous successes of last season and the mad
appeal of musical comedy managers for
more chorus girls, their agents scouring
other cities, all have resulted in glutting
the chorus girl market in New York."
Raymond Hitchcock, whose latest por
trait appears at the head of this column,
will be in Indianapolis next week in his
new musical comedy, "The Yankee Con
sul." written for him by Henry Blossom
and Alfred Robyn, and produced on a spec
t i ilar scale by that prince of musical
show managers, Henry Savage. Mr. Hitch
cock has been a great Indianapolis favorite
ever since his first great hit in this city
with Marie Oahill in "Three Little Lambs. '
His success in the title part of "King Dodo"
was another local triumph, and there rs
hardly a doubt that his audiences next
week Will be large. Henry Blossom, who
wrote the book of "The Yankee Consul,"
Is the author of that very successful story,
"Checkers." which has also become a
great success in its dramatic form, and
Mr. Robyn, the composer of the score, is
the St. luis musician who has turned out
so many beautiful ballads notable "An
swer" and "You," which have been suiig
all over America for the last ten years.
It is said that patrons of the Park will
find a general air of freshuess about
the musical comedy, "Happy Hooligan,"
which comes this afternoon. This is said
to be particularly true in the musical num
bers and in the new and startling adven
tures in which the cheerful hobo. "Hooli
gan," figures. There are also some new
faces In. the cast since the production was
seen at the Park a year ago. There is
more nonsense than sense to the effort, the
character of the tramp having been taken
from a series of newspaper cartoons, the
misfortunes of the "Wandering Willie"
take him through no plot and to no partic
ular end. W. H. Mack Is this season play
ing the part of "Hooligan" and Mae Phelps
appears as "Mischief." Lillian Robson,
Eva Taylor, Bessie Sharp and a number of
others are in the company.
It Is now confidently believed in
New York that the long post
poned era of theatrical prosperity,
which has been hidden during the first half
of the present season, is preparing to
burst forth upon the country, New York
in particular. Seven new attractions have
opened in New York this week "The Se
cret of Poliehinelle," with that excellent
character actor, W. H. Thompson, as the
star; the new musical comedy. "An En
glish Daisy;" Amelia Bingham ln her new
plav, "Olympe," by Pierre Decourcelles;
Virginia Karl in "Sergeant Kittle;" Robert
Edesou ln the latest Richard Harding Da
vis drama, "Ranson's Folly;" Ada Rehan
and otis Skinner in classic repertoire, and
a new romantic drama called "By Right of
Sword."
Forbes Robertson, the English actor, will
present his initial American performance of
"Hamlet" in Philadelphia at the Chestnut
street Opera House to-morrow night. This
Is the great Shakspcarlan production that
Mr. Robertson made with such great suc
cess in London last year. It is quite likely
that he will continue in "Hamlet" during
the rest of his American tour, as there is
a great desire everywhere to see him as
the melancholy Dane. Mr. Robertson was
to have appeared in this city late In the
season in the Oeorge Fleming stage ver
sion of Kipling's "The Light That Failed,"
but he will probably play the Shakspcarlan
tragedy instead.
John J. McNally, the librettist, has com-
pb t d th i book for the next production, in
which Klaw & Erlanger will present the
Rogers brothers. The new musical piece
will be called "The Rogers Brothers in
Paris" and will be given Its Initial presenta
tion in New York in September. The piece
is of the farcical order and of the same
type that has been identified with the
favorite Dutch comedians during the last
Ave . .irs. All of the scenes will be laid in
the French capital.

"The Red Feather." Reginald de Koven's
new comic opera, has just been booked for
an early apeparance at English's to fill the
engagement canceled by "The Runaways."
This is a f?ood arrangement, for "The Run
aways." without Fay Templeton, would be
likely to prove a pretty tame affair. Grace
Von Studdiford. the beautiful prima donna
soprano from Indiana, heads the singers in
"Tue Bed Feather'' and there are a num
ber of other high-class ptople in the cast.
Jerome. Meredith and the St. Clair Sis
ters, Indianapolis vaudeville performers,
who have been in this city for several weeks
preparing a new comedy sketch called
"Just Plain Folks," have been engaged for

- at the Grand, and will make their first
sppe .trance with the company in Cincinnati

The newer skirts are flounced, but a
flounced skirt is not a difficult thing to at
tempt, provided the skirt itself fits well.
To begin with, it must be fitted most care
fully around the hips and in front, and
have plenty of fullness at the back, but
the fullness can be hidden in inverted
pleats. The flounces should be put on to
form a becoming line. Thtsre are very few
figures which look well with the straight
round flounce; there should be always a
dip towards the front, and much more
fullness at the back than anywhere else.
Both gathered and pleated flounces are
fashionable, but the gathered ones are
much easier to make, and the most effect
ive trimming is I narrow edge of gold or
sliver braid, or a stitf edge of lace. One
deep flounce, if that is more becoming, and
three flounces if possible. Is a good rule to
follow. But with the three flounces they
must not be put on too full, otherwise the
lines of the figure are completely spoiled.
I'nrlur Amnscments.
Good Housekeeping.
Two parlor amus.ments which I have
lately seen carried out with great success
are the following? Send a person out
of the room, decide upon an object or
some simple performance, recall the per
son, and have a member of the party
place his fingers lightly upon the per
on's shoulders while he and all the
others think intently of the object or
act decided upon. The results some
times are almost uncanny. A lady went
straight and drew a scarfpin from a
man's necktie, just as we willed, found a
key hidden ln a lady's slipper, and so
on. The other "trick" is to draw upon
a sheet of paper a square, with diagonal
lines between the corners, the only
opportunity of the artist to watch his
own progress being in a mirror held up
before his hands by a second person. A
newspaper is held over the sheet and the
hand which is doing the drawing. The
results are sometimes uproariously funny.
The Traveler's Luncheon.
The Cooking Club.
Nothing is more unappetizing than to
have to eat from the same lunch basket
several times In succession. After the first
meal it looks mussy and scrappy. Try
this plan:
Do up each meal by Itself in a paste
board box with change of menu as you
wuuld for luncheon at home. Strap boxes
compactly together.
Let one. for instance, contain sliced ham,
olives, brown bread and butter, cookies
and apples. Another fried chicken, pickles,
white bread and butter, cup of jelly, slices
of cake and oranges. Another tongue,
chow-chow, rolls and butter, ginger cook
ies and bananas, and so on.
Throw box and scraps away at close of
each lunch.
Still another attractive way Is to wrap
each separate article of food in oiled tis
sue paper, and then arrange neatly in a
lunch basket or box. Thus the sandwiches,
Bleats, relishes, cakes and fruits would
each be by themselves.
A generous supply of paper napkins
should be found in all lunch baskets.
These should bj thrown away after each
meal.
A dozen lemons squeezed out into a bot
tle will make it possible, with the addi
tion of sugar, to convert the ice-cold tank
water into delicious lemonade.
Some Wnya to Cook Chicken.
St. Louis Republic
An old chicken is best for boiling. Put
a quart of water Into a kettle and when
it boils, put in a cleaned and trussed fowl.
Add a large onion with half a dozen cloves
stuck into it. a bay leaf, a bunch of sweet
herbs, and a little salt and pepper. When
done, lift out and drain carefully. Strain
the broth in the kettle, thicken with Hour,
add a tablespoouful of chopped parsley aud
any other seasoning liked, pour over the
chicken and serve at once. Garnish with
slices of fried bacon.
Boil small onions In milk till nearly ten
der, aud stuff a ck aned chicken with thern.
Boil, add minced boiled onions to the sauce,
pour over, sprinkle with chopped parsley
and serve at once.
Take a young, fat chicken and prepare
for boiling. Cook iu a buttered saucepan
with a pint of white stock for half an hour,
seasoning with salt and i epper to taste.
Add a pound of button onions, peeled, and
cook half uu hour longer, turning the
chicken occasionally. At serving time, put
the chicken in a deep platter and strain
the sauce over it. Muke a rlugof the
boiled onions around the chicken, alternat
ing with small squares of bacon fried to
a crisp.
Prepare rice for boiling and boll for flf-
teea minutes. Then add an onion stuck
with six cloves, pepper and salt and a
bunch of swi . i herbs. Wh"n the onion is
cooked to pieces. Like it out and add a
cupful of well-washed rice. Cook till the
rice is tender, and pour the whole around
the chicken.
'I he Houseplants.
Household Lodger.
A weekly showering should be given to
most plants, twice a week would be bet
ter. If you can afford the time. Dust will
accumulate on the foliage much faster
thun one would suppose, and it must be
dislodged, else the pores of the plant will
not be free to do their duty. For large
palms a brass syringe Is the best thii g to
use. but for smaller specimens a i-lant
Sprayer will do. Failing this, use a brash
broom.
Wash off the surplus dust with a 11m
less cloth; then throw the water against
the loaves with sufficient force to remove
every remaining speck. Let the water be
lukewarm. Throw on what you consider
is enoutfh j then go over them onco et twit.

again. In this way von will shower them
thoroughly. The plants should be taken
from the windows and set on the kitchen
Boor on papers, or ln the sink. Shower
the under side of the foliage as well as the
upper.
Water should not come ln contact with
the leaves of rex begonias and adiantum
ferns. This last-named plant will prob
ably not be found in most collections, it
being rather difficult to manage well In
the average living room.
Be on the lookout for Insect pests on
your palms, ferns und tlcuses. They must
be fought relentlessly, else they will. In
time, cause the . plants much harm. The
scale is flat, circular and light brown; the
mealy-bug is white and cottony looking.
They may be easily found after a few mo
ments' search.
By a little observance one may keep
one's palms ami other plants compara
tively free of insect petts. Keep them
clean and healthy by frequent spraying,
and you can keep the scale, red spider,
etc., at bay to a great extent.
$875,000 FOR GERMAN
EXHIBIT AT ST. LOUIS
Budget Committee of the Reichs
tag Approves an Additional
Appropriation.
BERLIN, Jan. 20. The budget commit
tee of the Reichstag to-day approved the
additional appropriation of IjO.OOO for the
German exhibit at the St. Louis exposition,
making a total of $876,000. The Prussian
finance minister included $40,000 more for
the exhibit of Prussia at St. Louis, or a
total of $125,000, in the budget just submit
ted to the Diet. The Prussian appropria
tions are largely for tho educational ex
hibit. The Imperial appropriation will gen
erally broaden out Germany's representa
tion. Herr Dewald, the Imperial German com
missioner to the St. Louis exposition, talked
with Emperor William Friday, when the
commissioner, the Emperor and the Em
press visited the Hohcnzollern Hall of the
Industrial art exhibition and saw the se
lections from the imperial palaces and the
new decorative work done for the reception
rooms of the German building assembled
there for shipment to St. I.ouis. Thefr
Majesties are described as having been en
thusiastic over the artistic merit of the new
work.
MAXIMUM DUTY IS
IMPOSED ON PEARLS
Important Court Decision Affect
ing Tariff on Gems Grad
uated in a Box.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30. A decision has
been handed down In the United States
Circuit Court by Judge Hazel sustaining
the decision of the Board of United States
General Appraisers in classifying two con
signments of pearls as pearls set and
strung, and accordingly assessable at 60 per
cent, ad valorem. The p ai ls are valued
at $123.804.
Jewelers and customs authorities through
out the country h ive been interested In the
decision because it brought up for a final
settlement the question as to whether
pearls placed in a box instead of paper and
arranged ln graduated sizes could be classi
fied as being strung or set.
The board took the stand that the stones
were so classified and levied the highest
duty. This is upheld by Judge Hazel.
