more entertaining piece than any that has

of Mr.. Charles H. Evans, Mr.. William

people areskilled f%srceurs, and they fill the
story with their rafting fun and reckless

THE HoMR OPERA COMPANY IN 1.-THE LITTLE
TYCOON"
The Home Opera Company presented "The
Little Tycoon" at Englsh's last night to a fair
sized audience, giving it in manner creditabie
in some respects, but. on the whole, lacking thav
success which would be called phenomenal
There was an amateurshness about it unusual
to many of the singers engaged. who have had
some experience in such matters. Mrs. Bailey,
as the Little Tycoon, was good, as she always is,
being accomplished as an actress as well as q
vocalist. Taking the soprano part, she did not
do herself the credit she usually does but did SO
well that it would. be unfair to criticise. Miss
Nettie johnson also did very we'll, being spirited
and easy in her actions, and adding the charm of
a sweet voice She was particularly good
IN the last act making. up we'll and doing
her part with the finish and ease of profession
al. There were many who expressed the desire
of seeing her take the part of Violet the Little
Tycoon, In which 1t is thought she would sue
coed Admirably. Mrs. Cole essayed the trying
role of Miss Hurricane, something very difficult
for any but q professional to attempt, but be-
yond being little stiff, acquitted herself we'll.
Mr.. Charles B. Foster did creditably as General
Knickerbocker; Mr.. Harry Porter personated
the dude lord in passable style, and Mr.. Harry
Martin, as his valet, did we'll, making quite a

spirit, and should be stirred up to do better,
which he can do. Mr. A l.. Willard, jr., failed
as an actor, and was no more like lover than
chunk of ice is like a fly blister. II must
have been little trying to make love" to him
even in the make-believe of the stage, and it is
not at all creditable to the average young man
Of the period that better showing was not
made. Mr.. Geiger made gorgeous and volumi-
nous Countess PulIemback The feature of the
evening was the chorus, which did it's work we'll
1t Is probable that the second presentation of
this piece will be better, as the performers will
have recovered somewhat from that inevitable
stiffness peculiar to the amateur. 1t will be pre-
sented again tonight and o-morrow night.

audiences at the Museum, and will be repeated

Hints for Idle Workmen.

To the Editor Of the Indianapolis Journal.
There are many men in this city without en-
ployment AS the season advances the number
will be greatly increased. For the most part
these men are worthy They not idle from
choice They would gladly support their fami
lies by their honest TOLL and they ask no greater
favor than to be set to work. They are, there
fore, not objects of charity, and ought not to be
so considered. They would scorn to be classed
among paupers. However, these men ought to be
helped. During the next four months, if idle,
they will exhaust the small sum saved by close
sickness visit the a or their households, debts
must be contracted, to embarrass
them long after labor is resumed.
Recently my sympathies have been awakened
for several persons whose cases have come to
my knowledge. In city of the size of this.
with such variety of business. there ought to be
work for every man who seeks it. at prices suffi-
GENTLY remunerative to provide the necessaries
of life. Two years ago the manufacturers of
Grand Rapids. Mich, devised a plan which
might be tried here. They appointed a commit
tee of three to receive applications from the I'M
employed, agreeing that all who so applied should
have work for some portion of the week. accord
ing to their necessities. In this way, by increas
ing the force in the several factories nearly two
hundred men found work, and no family suffered
during the winter. There are very few estab
lishments in this city whore piece work is done
in which a few additional hands might not be
engaged Who will take the initiative in a
movement of this or some other kind to supply
work for all our workngmen! j. e. GILBERT,
Pastor Meridian-street M. e. Church.

THE GRAND JURYS REPORT.
The Defective Heating Apparatus at the
WOrk-HOuse Again Condemned as Unsafe.

The county grand jury, in its November sit
tings, had an uninteresting session. Yesterday
the final report made to Judge Norton showed
that only fifteen indictments had been found.
five each for petit and grand larceny, two for
burglary and petit larceny and one each for
ENLIGHTENMENT, forgery, robbery, assault aud
battery, and assault and battery with intent to
kill George Goddard, who broke into Charles
L. Brownells house; William Harley and G. Fl.
Baxter, who robbed Pat Wards place of lot OF
CIGARS William Gibbs, charged with stealing
gold watch and chain, and Joseph Bouvet,
indicted for assaulting A. j. Sloans
with an intent to kill him, are the principal
prisoners. Those indicted for embezzlement
forgery and robbery have not been arrested.
Frank Alderman, Michael Damn, Joe Wiliough-
by and AL Burns, accused of petit larceny, and
Joseph Dean charged with grand larceny were
released from custody on account of insufficient
evidence to warrant their being~held. The
jurors renewed their condemnation Of the de-
fective heating apparatus at the work house.
They first called the attention of the Commits
sioners to this last July, but the arrangement of
pipes, without protecting the woodwork next to
them has not been changed. If this is not done
at once, 10 matter what it may cost, say the
jurors, a fire will occur that will endanger the
lives of workmen, officers and inmates.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
Furnishing Election Frauds.


To the Editor of the indianapolis journal:
The repetition of election frauds seems to go
on in spite of the conviction of Joe Mackin, the
Chicago Democratic 'ffne worker" Tho chang
ing of TALES by the Payne Doodle gang Of
Ohio. last year, was followed by the Democratic
fine workers" at Indianapolis this year. and the
people are crying out for remedy. prevent
i've. It seems almost impossible to make all
the people honest and so as to remove any temp
tation a plan has occurred to me by which the
changing of TALES by erasures can be entirely
stopped. Make it imperative for either the
Commissioners of the county or township trus-
tees to provide each precinct with what is
known as the bank punch" used by bankers to
prevent the raising Of the amounts of drafts.
and let the number of votes each officer has
be punched instead of written, with
the necessary brackets thus: John
Smith, clerk, Il. 235l before the judges
and inspectors sign the tally sheets. By this
mode the tally sheets cannot be tempered with,
except by substituting others, which is more
dangerous business, for it implies forging sigma
lures of some of the election officers. To guard
against the latter contingency let each officer of
the election board certify to the others the result
of the election in his precinct, again using the
punch" for figures and you have guard as per-
feet upon that point as humane ingenuity can
suggest.
The cost would be but trife compared to the
benefits that must accrue in having the result of
the votes fairly counted and credited. The bal
lot-box is the foundation upon which free insti-
tuition rest and any safeguard against the
violations Of it helps to strengthen popular gov
eminent N D. LEyINSoN.
