ENGLrsH's-TKE GoRMAN MINsTRELs

ENGLISH'S-TKE GORMAN M%INsTRELS.
The German Minstrel Company appeared
at English's, last night. attracting a large
and enthusiastic audience. The perform
ance departs somewhat from the regulation
minstrel show, and embraces several very
entertaining features. The Germans are
especially clever in their specialties, and
created a great deal of merriment.
while other members of the com-
pany. introduced songs. dances and
sketches that were well received. The
Arthur Rigby and George Bruton was good,
and altogether the performance is up to. if
not above, the average of its kind. The
engagement will close tonight.
NOTES.
Julia Marlowe will make her first appear
ance in this city, at the Grand, tomorrow
night, when the "Hunchback" will be pre-
sented. She has displayed marked ability

will be repeated at the matiuee and the en-
gagement will close on Saturday evening
with a production of Twelfth Night" The
management announces that there will be

matinee.

PETTIS, BASSETT & co
DO NOT CONSULT THE OFFICERS.


State Treasurer Lemcke said, yesterday.
that he did not know what the Legislature
proposed to do in heway of providing funds
for current expenses. Il am not in the
counsels of the majority, of course" he
continued, "and have not been consulted
by the ways and means committees OF
either branch. i understood, to-day, that
it is proposed to arrange for one years ex-
penses of the State before adjournment, but
do not know the details of the bill pro-
posed.n
us it the understanding that the Legis-
lature will provide for the expenses of all
departments for the year TO comet"
That cannot say. As / remarked be-
fore, / am not in the counsels of the ma
jority this session. They have not invited
me to any conference with them ON finan-
cial matters, and / have had to rather
obtrude myself upon them for the little in
formation L have as to their intentions.
The situation in this Office is about as it
was yesterday. We nave no money, and,
OF course. are not paying any warrants. AS
things are now running. / estimate the
deficiency of Oct. 81. 1850. at $2,022, III; that
OF Oct. 81, 1890, at S41S,T7. and that of Oct.
81, 1891, at sos. IA. making n total of over
$4,000 for which some special provision
must be made in addition to the regular
appropriations

THE NATIONAL GAME.
Eight Home Players, with Glasscoek. Denny
and Hines, Have Signed.

One by one the members of the Hoosier
ball team are gracefully falling into line,
and there now appears to be no doubt that
all of the players will be on hand in good
time. At any rate, those who threatened
to make the most trouble were among the
first to make their peace with President
Brush. Jerry Denny, who has been cred
tied with having said he would never
again play in Indianapolis under certain
circumstances, yesterday telegraphed the
local management from Oakland, Cal, that
he bad signed and mailed his contract to
President Young. AS he signed without
the slightest protest, so far as the local
people know, almost as soon asth contract
reached him, it seems altogether probable
that he never said half the things published
about the matter. Treasurer Meyer
also received a telegram from President
Brush, yesterday, in which he said he had
secured the names of Hines and Glasscock
to contracts without any trouble whatever.
Mr.. Brush said nothing about the Getzein
deal, but it is quite probable that the mat.
ter was fixed up so far as the purchase of
the big pitchers release from Detroit iscon-
cerned. That done, there will be no diff

lis contract. The club now has eight of its

George Meyers may hold out until about
April /, if his classification does not suit
him, but those who know the young man do
not fear that he will miss a single day after
the time when salaries begin. McGeachey,
too, may make a bluff, but besides these
two players, no further trouble is antici-
pated.
In the arrangement of the schedule In
dianapolis received the most liberal treat
ment by the League, and has no ground
upon which to base the slightest complaint.
The three big holidays of the season are
Decoration Day. the Fourth of July and
Labor Day. The indianapolis team is
scheduled to play in New York on the first
named day, will have the Philadelphia
team, a good drawing club, at home on July
4, and will play in Boston on Labor Day.
Nothing better could have been desired,
and President Brush telegraphs that he is
Brush will be at home tonight, but will
leave for Utica on Saturday.

Glasscock will no doubt be captain of the
HoOsier team.
Indianapolis will play twelve games on
the home grounds before the team goes
east.
Con Daily will probably be here within
tho next ten days, and Charley Bassett will
come about the same time.
Henry Boyle has purchased a lot on North
Mississippi street. and will build q hand
some residence as soon as the weather will
permit. An architect is now working on
the plans.
The American Association has signed ID.

the coming season. This completes the
staff. 1t was generally thought that John
Kelly would be chosen.

is quite as slow on the bases.

three times for neuralgia or toothache. He
was not on duty, and he was affected per-
haps ten or twelve hours each time. His
use of it was not habitual. Witness con-
sidered Jameson the most valuable man in
the hospital; that he was a genius, and. by
his knowledge of electricity and other
things, saved the State $500 or 5000 a year.

A Little OneS Ant Retort,

The little hats now worn by little girls
afford frequent opportunities to a lawyer of
this city to PROFOUND a very good conun-

a bright one of eight years:

The reply of the little one was very apt:

Satisfied with Cleveland.

The fact that Indianapolis will open the
season at home and with Cleveland, meets
with general approval. Both the players
and management wanted it so. for the rea-
son that they think they can win all OF a
majority of the games, which would give
them a good start.
