WRESTLED TO A DRAW
UNUSUAL WRESTLING CONTEST BE-

The Mem Remain on the Mat for
Four Hours and IL
Half.

Sam Murbarger, the Indianapolis wrest-
Ter. defended himself for four hours and a
half last night from the superior skill and
science of his physically weaker opponent,
Harvey Parker, of Erie, Pa, in a match at
the Empire Theater. The men went on the
mat at S:45 o'clock and the theater was
packed with men. After the first few min
utes Of struggling for holds Murbarger went
down on his hands and knees, with Parker
on top of him. They remained in this gen.

barger is bigger and heavier all over than
his opponent. Parker, however, more than
made up for his size in his headwork and
quickness. Tom Cannon, the experienced
wrestler, who will go on the mat with

if Murbarger had half the science of Parker
he could have thrown him in three minutes
Few times was the struggle sensational, but
the spectators were good natured and
cheered the wrestlers for their tenacity
The match was for so per cent. of the re-
ceipts and 500 side bets. ParkerS seconds
were Herbert Hale and Joseph Haskell
while Punch" Campbell, Jap" Clemens
and Yout attended Murbarger. The specta-
tors and partisans agreed that the contest
was a battle of Murbarger'S strength and
Parker's science, and had either won even
d little of his opponents advantage the re-
men were completely exhausted when the
match WAS called off.

Bright, funny farce-comedy has come to
I'LL the patrons of the Park Theater with
Joy the latter half OF the present week
Kelly and Mason, with an excellent corps
of assistant fun producers, are endeavoring
to unravel the numerous twists and compli-
cations of a comedy called who is Who"
and at the finish the audience hardly knows
whether it has solved the problem or not,
but of one thing 1t is very certain, and that
is a most enjoyable evening has been spent
Contrary to the prevailing custom, the plot
Of who is Who" is by no means altogether
a medium on which to hang a number of
vaudeville and speciality acts, but in itself
furnishes boundless amusement. The audi
ence last night was in the proverbial con
tinual roar of laughter from beginning to
end of the performance except at intervals
when some speciality was being given. which
called forth admiration and applause in
stead. Kelly and Mason appear on the bills
as the stars, but several of their colaborers
pressed them hard for first place. The
Misses Willard, Miller and Whiting as
sisted by Harry Welch, displayed consider
able vocal ability in a comic sketch entitled
Ladies of the Condemned Murderers'
Floral Association" The heartiest laughter
antics and purposely discordant singing Of
the German Singing Club, made up of
Messrs. WEIGH, Pusey, Lefevre, Roche and
Mason, who were literally encored Mr.
Mason. II may be said. Is an Indianapolis
product, and his native city gave him cor
dial greeting. The Misses Helena and Mar
gle Adds, a pair of bright, bewitching
damsels did singing and dancing turn of
exceptional merit. Kelly and Mason, ably
assisted by Katherine Miller, who possesses
a good voice and a pleasing manner, APP
peared in the first act In a clever operate
travesty which was a take-off on different
varieties of stage villains, each variety be-
ing depicted in the chorus by successive
changes OF makeup. The race track girls
Misses Willard, Gould, Miller sisters Tomp-
kins and the sisters Whiting, opened the
second act with lively song about the
races. An agreeable feature of the perform
ance was the cake walk Of the nations
which brought out the strength of the com
pany and was well received. Little Harry
WEIGH was not beaten and cuffed about
as per the advance notices, but he con-
tributed his share OF the fun nevertheless
II was reserved, however, for the sisters
Whiting TO call forth the greatest applause
by their taking rendition of popular and
patriotic airs on the cornet The settings
OF tho three acts were very pretty, and that
OF the second act beautiful. Taking the
performance as a whole II is one which
the Park management can be proud to pre-
sent 10 its patrons. WHO is Who" will re-
main the rest of the week and will be fol-
lowed Monday by The Commodore"
naval drama said TO be Of much strength
and beauty.

TALK OF GLOVE FEAST"
One May Be Held Prior to the Meet
ing of the General Assembly.


There is talk among the politicians of a
Glove feast" of Republican state senators
and representatives prior to the meeting of
the General Assembly. So far no formal
movement toward such a gathering has been
made, but it has been discussed by the local
men with those from other parts of the
State who have been here the last few
days. At first blush some of them seemed
to favor the idea but after giving 1t more
consideration were inclined to think it might
be better to wait for the caucus to open
when the Legislature begins. In 1895, 1t is
recalled, after the election and prior to the
General Assembly, there was caucus Of
the Republican senators, who were in a
majority, and therefore in a position to or
ganize the Senate to suit themselves. The
caucus was a success and plans were then
formulated that gave them the whip hand
over the Democratic minority. Those legis-
lators who remember that event are asking
If it might not be well to again take up the
policy of preliminary caucus. Those VINO
are opposed to it say they do not want TO
come here and get in the miX-up with
senatorial aspirants and applicants for var
iouS places until they have to. The an
nouncement of a caucus prior to the con-
yening of the assembly, it is predicted,
would bring a horde of applicants for posi-
lions as doorkeepers, clerks, etc., to Inolan-
aDOliS.

the State Legislature.
Already a number of applicants for places
in the General Assembly are beginning to
arrive, prepared to pounce down on every
senator and representative who drops in
from now to the holidays and demand his
support For the most part, the legislators
are fighting shy Of applicants and are not
making many promises, preferring to await
developments. While the applicants for the
minor places are a good deal in evidence,
the members of the Legislature are more
engrossed in the senatorial contest than the
fight for the speakership of the House. the
clerkships and things of that sort. In the
speakership contest some of the politicians
