SYMPHONY CLUBS CONCERT.
1t Was an Artistic Success--NIiss Igel-
mans Singing.

An audience complimentary in size and
appreciation listened last evening to the
concert by the Indianapolis Symphony Club
under the direction Of Mr.. Karl Schneider
The playing of the orchestra was in most
respects equal to anything it has done dur
ing the season. The Fifth Symphony" by
Beethoven, was the best number on the
programme and its several and varied move
ments were given with pleasing effect.
There were a number of unusual features
on the programme. In the first place Miss
EIma Igelman, a pupil of Mr.. Schneider.
san "Dich Theure Halle" from Tam
hauser" and took the house literally by
storm. Miss Igeman is young girl not
yet twenty, who came before the audience
almost an entire stranger. During the long
prelude she stood simply and with no Nisi-
BILE sign that she was ready 10 take the
first note but at the proper time it sounded
with delicious freshness and purity. An
even quality was heard throughout and the
sustained notes were clear and true. The
audience listened in almost breathless ST.
lence and at the last note she received
perfect ovation. There were shouts of
''brava'' and the people clapped their hands
until the young soprano had bowed several
times and finally she was forced TO return
and she sang ballad My Valentine"
Her voice is a clear high soprano, with a
ringing quality that makes 1t perfectly
heard although IL is not of great power 1t
Is sympathetic and musical and the natural
beauty has not been maIred by method

COST OF WASHING.
Laundrymen of Five States Trying
To Get Together on Prices.

'Washee, washee'' has been the topic of
discussion at the Two days session of the
organized laundrymen of Ohio Indiana,
Illinois Pennsylvania and Kentucky at the
Bates House. 1t had been the intention to
form an interstate association, but as the
conditions are so different in the various
localities this plan was not adopted. In
stead an arbitration commission, composed
of the executive officers of the various State
organizations was authorized yesterday aft
ernoon. One object will be to do away with
the knitting of prices. The tendency is
said to be toward lower prices, about 2
cents for collars and cuffs, and dime for
shirts. 1t is not possible, however, to estab-
fish uniform rates, as the difference in the
amount of patronage and various things of
that kind have to enter largely into the
prices charged. On account of the differ
ence in local conditions, it was considered
ill advised to establish an interstate asso-
citation with fixed rules for the observance
of all.
Last night the visitors to the meeting were
entertained by the Indiana association, a
theater party to witness the Cherry
Pickers" at Englishs Opera House being
one of the features.

MAY PLAY TO-DAY.
Tebeau's Indians ON the GrOund--HOw
His Battery Developed.

A touch Of winter weather yesterday made
the members of the Cleveland and Indian
apolis ball teams hustle into overcoats in
stead of uniforms and gather around the
hotel radiators instead of the home plate.
no game was played, but all hands hope for
one to-day just to see how fast Pat Te-
beau's hired men are.
Nearly all ball players have interesting
histories, but the members of Tebeau's
kid" battery have one that is especially so.
Johnny Powell, the pitcher, was two years
ago a member of the Chicago Maroons, a
team of transformers of questionable abil-
ity. On one of its. tours of Ohio the club
was stranded and every member began to
make tracks for Chicago independently
with nothing in his pockets but the land
lords bills at the last stand. Johnny COM
placently took the first freight train going
west. and with varying fortune finally got
to Fort Wayne badly out of condition. Here
he casually told some one that he was a
pitcher, which was something Billy
Meyer of the local team was badly in need
of. Johnny was grabbed on the spot and
turned over to George Tebeau, the manager,
and in spite of his lack of condition jumped
in and proved q winner from the very trst
game. That year he was gobbied up by
Cleveland, and last year displayed a form
equal to the best of them. AS he is still
a boy and dn good hands no one can
prophesy where his skill will land him.
Louis Criger, his receiver, sprang up in
day at Elkhart and got trial three years
ago with Kalamazoo. Here ne displayed
phenomenal ability, and before ne hau been
a professional two months Tebeau was after
him. His arm, as at the present day, was
wonderfully strong and accurate, his eX-
tremely light weight made him catlike in
his quickness of motion, and such experts
as Charley CAMEL pronounced him mar
vel. Stolen bases were unheard of with
Criger behind the plate, and without any
assistance but his brain he evolved sys-
tenn of backstopping which has seldom been
approached.
An exhibition game with Kalamazoo was
arranged by Cleveland in order to get a line
on his work before the season closed, and,
strange to say, on this occasion Louis
PLAYED what was considered bad ball for
him He was frightened until for the time
he lost his brillancy. Nevertheless his inn
paired form was considered good enough for
League company and he was signed. Last
wear he proved the catching find OF the sea-
son. His throwing arm is popularity sup
posed to be the best in the profession. On
the first League game against Louisville he
killed six attempts to steal bases IN quick
succession and after that there was hardly
any attempt to pilfer and his reputation was
established.
pitcher Bruner, the Buckeye colt, man
aged to get free from the flooded ONO river
district and arrived in town yesterday Tor
