In roasting his new play, THE Voyag-
ers' by that prolific writer Madeline
Lucette Ryley When Mrs. Ryley made her
first dramatic hit in New York, before the
late war, it was a great surprise to her
friends, who wondered how she could write
a play. "Bless you, my dears," she said
with exquisite nonchalance, 81 wrote nine
teen plays before offered one for produc-
ton" It must be that THE Voyagers'' was
one of early nineteen which she has un-
loaded on the good-natured and unsuspect-

The play is almost wholly lacking IN dram

but few original farcical tricks. DR.. Bodkin,
that is Mr.. Reed, looks like a missing Elk
porer whom a mythical San Francisco club
delights to honor. He meets the club people
and is supposed to spend night with them.
What they do at that meeting might be
interesting If it took place on the stage,

in the next act and meets the family OF
the missing explorer, pays on "a me oild re
love with the explorers niece, who has been
his travelling companion from the States,
and later turns up as the missing heir 70
the estate The Honolulu acts are prettily
staged and the incidents are fairly enter
taining but only partly fulfill the feeble
promises of the early scenes. For the last
act the climax resulting in the discovery
that Dr. Bodkin is an heir is spoiled by
letting the audience into the secret some
time before Bodkin's trunk is brought in and
the wait for the final curtain is tiresome.
Miss Rush should sit down hard on THE

Stroke of Paralysis.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SALEM, Ind, Nov. M.--Samuel B. Voyles
died at his home, in this city, at lis o'clock
to-day of paralysis. He was born in this
county in 1S43. He served in the army from
1861 to 1864 in the Eighteenth Indiana. He
attended the ST. Louis School of Law and
practiced in Missouri, afterwards settling
here. He was twice elected district prosecu-
tor and in 1880 he was elected joint senator
from Floyd and Washington. He served a
term as commissioner of the state monu-
ment board He was elected in 1890 as judge
of the Forty-eecOnd judicial circuit and re-
elected in 1885, He had served but two years
of his last term. The funeral takes place
from the residence at 1 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon. His death causes a vacancy
which will be filed by Governor Mount in
a few days and it is thought here that Hon.
David NJ. Alspaugh will be Mr.. Voyless
successor, as his friends will in due time
urge his appointment.
SEYMOUR, Ind, Nov. 21.-The death of
Judge Voyles, at Salem, to-day, leaves a
vacancy which will have to be filed at once
as the term of court in this county should
have begun it's November term to-day.
There is hardly any doubt that Hon. O.
H Montgomery, of this city, would receive
the Endorsement of the Republicans of the
district should he desire the place, but there
is a question as to whether he would ac-
cept. His law practice is very large, and
the man who is appointed by Governor
Mount will have only two years to serve.
Mr.. Montgomery is attending court al Shoals
and cannot be seen tonight. The Repub-
Hcans here are unit for him.
