GRAND OPERA HoUsE-JosEPH JEFFERSON.
Mr. Joseph Jefferson and his excellent com
pany appeared at the Grand Operahouse last
night before brilliant audience, presenting the
double bill of ''The Cricket on the Hearth, and
Lend Me Five Shillings." Mr.. Jefferson is the
best exponent of comedy before theAmerican pub
lie to-day, and surrounded as he is by capable
company, composed of carefully Sc
lected artists, his performances can
not fail to entertain the most critical audience
AS Caleb Plummer Mr.. Jefferson gives one of
the most finished and delicious bits of character
acting imaginable, and thata critic, however cap
tious, must accept as the standard of artistic
perfection. Itis perhaps not too eXtravagant
praise to say of Mr.. Jefferson that he is the
greatest comedian thus far drawn from the
ranks of American actors, and his lInpersona-
tions of such characters as those essayed by
him last night are 80 true to nature and artistic
excellence to leave little or no room fer criti
csm. Lovers of refined comedy will regret
that his engagement'w was short.
The advance sale of seats for the engagement
of the Madison Square Young Mrs. Withrop'
company at the Grand Opera housethe last three
nights of this week opens this morning at the
theater box-ofice. The play is by Bronson
Howard and has never been seen here Itis
said to be very strong. The principals in the
cast,are Geo. Clarke, John Woodward, Ohas. e.
Langdon, Miss May Roberts, Miss Jennie Ken
mark and others.
ENGLIsH's-BXCELsIoR
A fine audience, filing all the floors, greeted
Kiralfys Excelsior" at English's, last night,
and it is quite safe to say that not one of those
in attendance but was more than pleased with
the play. Spectacular, much like "Black Crook
yet more finished and an allegorcal drama of
significance, it is a very delightful aggregation of
tableaux vivants, each in different way typify
ang some triumph OF civilization over sayagery,
light over darkness. The spectacular etfectswere
the finest ever shown in Indianapolis, being
greatly enhanced and embellshed by the aid of
incandescent electric lights, used as wands and
coronets. For first night performance the
entertainment a pleasing success, every
thing being performed with marvellous exacti-
tude, and working smoothly. A good business is
assured during theweek

The Show Elephant That Eats Tobacco ant
Wooden Clothing.

Wooden Clothing.
"Yes, Gypsy here has some queer
tastes and habits"
The speaker was the manager of a
circus which is quartered in this city for
the winter. The Gypsy referred to was
a large-sized nine-year old elephant
who stood close by, playfully throwing
hay over his back. A few minutes be-
fore the manager had dropped from his
pocket a briar-wood pipe that had seen
means sweet. Gypsy saw the tempting
morsel and calmly reached out his
trunk for it, put it into his mouth,
crunched it up, and while doing so
rolled his eyes about with every appear
ance of satisfaction.
Gypsy" continued the manager,
''has exploded the theory that all ele-
plants hate tobacco. A common idea
used to prevail that if person gave an
elephant any of the weed the animal
would never forget the insult and
would have its revenge if it took years
to accomplish it. have given Gypsy
pound after pound of plug and fine-cut,
and instead of resenting it he, figurat-
lively speaking, cries for more"
'.Has he a fondness for eating any
other odd things?"
.Yes. He is like the camel which
Mark Twain describes that chewed up
Marks coat We do not dare to leave
any old clothes lying within reach of
his trunk. Gypsy will take just about
three minutes to get away with coat
A pair of pants will disappear down his
throat in just four minutes, and he
will masticate an overcoat in about ten
minutes"
HAS he any preferences as to the
quality of the goods?"
81 never noticed that it made any
difference whether they were imported
or domestic, basket pattern or cork
screw. l have remarked, however,
that il the garment was old and greasy
Gypsy seemed to tackle it with greater
zest than if it were new.
''But wish you could be here in the
morning when he gets up. You see,
the keeper of the animals makes his bed
on the ground in the near vicinity of the
cages. Gypsy always lies down on his
bed of straw close by. In the morning,
when he thinks it is time to be up and
stirring, the animal will reach over
with his trunk and run it over the
keeper. If that fails to awake him the
elephant will pull the bed-clothes off,
and he will keep that racket up until
the man is fully aroused"
"Yes," spoke up the keeper, who
stood near, "and he has a bad habit of
nearly always waking up about an hour
before l am ready to get up. It's no
use kicking, though, for he is a very
determined animal and always has his
own way" -PAiladelphia Times.
