She was much interrupted in her work by

officers from interviewing her in department

SONGS OF FIFTY YEARS AGO.
The First Theater in polis-Some of
the Ballads Sung from Its Stage.

The first regular theater here" said an old
timer to a Journal reporter, Twas in the winter
of 1888. A man named Lindsey brought COM
pany here, and he got Olleman's wagon-shop, on
the alley on Washington street, opposite the
courthouse. Governor Rays residence on
the east side of the alley and this theater' on
the west side, The wagon-shop was In some sort
reconstructed. The stage was much lower than
the entrance, and the seats rose from the stage
toward the door. There were three women and
three or four men in the company. One Of his
performers was named Powers or Powell, and he
sung songs in character in the interlude between
the tragedy and afterpiece In those days good
strong tragedy was always followed by short
comedy or roaring farce of thirty or forty min
utes. He was the first man to sing stage mig
ger song in Indianapolis The songs he sung
were not as familiar to following generations
Dan Tucker Lucy Long and Nelly Bly, were.
One of them had the chorus:
:" Jennie get your hoe-cake done, my love
Oh Jennie get your hoe cake DONE

Into the South seas bent our way
And we got wrecked in Botany bay

And makes noise like thunder. o.
It's cranks. and pans, and hattering rams

By reason of the chouncing o.
Another favorite was:
!" I fell in love with the cook,
I'll tell you the reason why,
On Christmas day she made good cake,
And always baked nince pie.
Love and Sassages,' a very touching ballad,
was also much sung fifty years ago:
