THE "SUPERS" MADE TROUBLE.
Little Excitement i'm the Rear Of
English's Last Night.

There was a little drama at English's
Opera House last night of which spectators
of the Prisoner of Zenda" had no knowl-
edge, in which some of the stage hands
and various "supers'' were the principal
actors. The cast of the plays requires the
assistance of numerous guards" peas
ants and other personages too numerous
to be carried by the company. In every
town a number of supernumeraries are en-
ployed to "go on and fill up the scene In
Indianapolis playhouses the "supers" are
procured by a super captain. Under the
regulations that prevails the "supers'' are
paid rs cents a performance after the first
night, the super captain retaining the first
nights pay for his compensation. 1t is his
duty to have charge of the wardrobe car
ried by the company and to see that the
requisite number of "supers" are present at
each performance. On Friday night the
'superS' that had been engaged for the
Prisoner of Zenda' struck and refused to
play their parts unless they were promised
5O cents a performance. In the emergency
the stage manager offered the regular stage
hands OF the house so cents a performances
If they would go on This is something
in order to accommodate the stage man
ager they agreed 10 assume the costumes
OF the various guards. peasants and
other minor personages of the show
Last night the ''supers' who had taken
part the nrst night appeared and demand
ed pay for Thursday nights performance.
They We're promptly refused, but would not
leave the theater. One Of the stage hands
elected them, when the ''superS" began
bombarding the stage door with rocks and
bricks. A policeman was summoned. He
arrested the supers' and the stage hand,
deciding to allow the judge of the Police
Court to determine who is in fault.

WALLA TONEHKA RETRIEVED.
Indian Ball Player VIII Have n New
Trial in December.

DE QUEEN, Ark, Nov. 6.--Walla Ton
ehka, the famous Indian ball player, who
was convicted of murder, was to have been
shot at Alikchi, Wolfe county, Thursday,
but still lives. Hundreds of whites and In
dams had gathered to witness the execu-
ton. which was to have been a double one,
as Wallace Crosby, another Choctaw, was
to have shared Tonehka's fate. Last
Wednesday night, as they were all camped
around the sulphur springs in the center of
the settlement a courier arrived from Tus-
kahoma, the capital of the Choctaw nation,
with a stay of execution pending a new
trial. which was ordered by the judge of
the Supreme Court of the Choctaw nation
The condemned men, who, instead of being
.'unrestrained by aught save Choctaw
honor" have been in Jail at Alikchi for the
last four weeks, received the news with
true Indian stoicism. Walla Tonehka was
almost absolutely unmoved, merely saying
.Maybe me play more ball now" and then
turning over and gong to sleep. Crosby
did not even emit grunt when he learned
that he was to have another chance Tor his
life.
The execution had originally been set for
Nov g. but recently the friends of the con-
demned Indian have been putting forth
Such strenuous EFFORTS TO secure a stay OF
execution that, presumably for this reason,
the date of the shooting was set two days
ahead. Walla Tonehka, whose other name
the one under which he draws rations
from the government-is William Going,
and Crosby will be tried again in the De-
cember term of the Choctaw court, and it
is probable that they Will be acquitted.
Several newspapers announced last week
that the Indian ball player had been shot,
and even printed portraits and sketches of
him This was due to a confusion of names.
The Indian who suffered the extreme pen
atty was called Watka.

TOO MUCH PROSPERITY.
Colonel Rend Unable to Secure Cars
to FIJI His Coal Orders.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 6.-"There is such
thing as having too much of good thins,"
Colonel w. p. Rend said yesterday The
Chicago coal operator came to Pittsburg to
confer with railroad officials regarding cars
to transport coal. He laughingly said there
was too much prosperity. He claimed the
scarcity of cars in the coal fields is un-
usually hard on the coal operators His
company owns LOGO cars, but with that num-
Der he is unable to get cars sufficient to
supply the mines. He ascribed the scarcity
of cars to the present national administra-
ton. He said that he had sold some coal
to Senator Mark Hanna's company, and
was written to hurry it forward by Tom"
Hanna, son of the senator. He replied:
Your father is responsible for the delay
He persisted in having Major William Nc
Kinley elected President, and we have been
pushed SO since with orders that we are
unable to get cars to fill them" Colonel
Rend said he thought the answer satisfied
the senator. Then he remarked prosperity
is a good thing, but there is such a thing
as having too much of it,

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 6-The Yale
varsity football eleven this afternoon de-
feated the team representing the Chicago
Athletic Club by the score Of 16 to g. The
scoring was all done in the first half and
with something of rush. The second half
was undressing, owing to change in
Yale's tactics from fierce aggressiveness to
careful defense Good kicking was difficult
because of a spanking northwest wind,
which favored the Chicagoans in the first
half and Yale in the second half. The
game was marked by two striking features

Chicago the famous former Williams half
