DEATH OF HENRY S. ROCKEY.
Aged and I-iGhIy-Respected Citizen
Passes Away.

Henry s. Hockey, an aged and highly-re-
spected citizen of indianapolis, died at 1850
O'Clock yesterday morning at the residence
of his daughter, I'LL Prospect street. He
had been i'll about six weeks. Mr.. Rockey
was one of the Oldest citizens of Indian
apolis. He came here permanently to reside
In 1910, when he became superintendent Of
the Sheets & Yandes paper mill. He was
born in York county, Pennsylvania, Oct. Is,
1905, and when three weeks old was brought
by his parents to Baltimore county, Mary
land, where the family settled.
AT the age of sixteen Mr.. Rockey was ap-
prenticed to a firm of paper makers and be-
gan to learn the trade. When he became
of age he started out to see something of
the country, working at his trade in differ
ent Eastern cities. In 1889 he came to In
dianapOlis at the request of Sheets & Yam
des. The firm was about to erect a new
paper mill and Mr.. Hockey came here to
superintend the construction. On his ar
rival, however, they were not ready to begin
work and he returned to his home in the
East. He came back the following year,
bringing his family with him. The trip
West was attended with many difficulties
on account of the meager facilities for
travelling. Mr.. Hockey was obliged to bring
his family by stage and canal boat most Of
the way. On the way they lost nearly all
their household goods by a collision in which
the canal boat on which they were passen-
gers was sunk. This accident happened at
Cleveland, o.
Mr.. Hockey superintendent the construc-
ton of the paper mill and was connected
with the institution until the manufacturers
went out of business in 1856. Mr.. Hockey
was the Oldest member of Plymouth Church
and the oldest member of the Tippecanoe
ME e. Wheatley and John l.. Hockey, of
Chicago, and Mrs. John A. Winter. of I'LL
Prospect street. The funeral will take place
at 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon at Plym-
outh Church.

CHORUS AND ORCHESTRA.
Magnificent and Harmonious Work
by the Organizations.

The May festival chorus and orchestra
gave a full rehearsal in Tomlinson Hall last
night. and the spirit and accuracy with
which it moved presages a brilliant opening
of the festival tonight. During the even
ing the chorus rehearsed America" and
the manner in which this great patriotic
hymn was rendered was a revelation to
those who heard it. In these stirring times
of war it is good for the enthusiastic heart
to hear the song as it issuing by a magnif-
cent body of several hundred of the city's
best singers. 1t sends a thrill through the
body. Another selection appropriate to the
time of war will be the .Star-spangled
Banner" to be sung tonight by Miss
Emma Juch, an artist always popular in
indianapolis and one whose characteristic
dramatic fervor will give the song a rem
dition to be remembered for years. The fes-
tival directors are hoping that the festival
receipts will be swelled by out-of-town peo-
pie who will lave an opportunity to visit
Camp Mount and see the soldiers during
the daytime and visit the festival at night.
Low railroad rates will prevail. "A large
number of seats for which more money has
usually been charged have been placed on
sale for 81 each. These are on the main floor.
Mr.. David Bispham, the eminent basso.
Miss Emma Juch, Mr.. Hamlin, the tenor.
and Mr.. Ehrgott, of Cincinnati, who are
among the festival artists, arrived in the
city yesterday and attended the rehearsal
last night.

UNITED WORKMEN.
Grand Lodge in Session in This
City.

The Grand Lodge, Ancient Order of
United Workmen of Indiana, assembled in
it's eighteenth biennial session yesterday
morning at 8 o'clock. The morning was
mainly devoted to the organization of the
Grand Lodge and comforting the grand lodge
degree upon the representatives who had
not received the degree at some previous
session.
Two supreme lodge officers are in attend
ance at the session. Supreme Recorder M.
W. Sackett, of Meadville, Pa, is here. He
has been a member of the order for twen-
ty-eight years, becoming affiliated with the
"A. 0. U. w. at the time when it had a
membership of about three hundred He has
been supreme recorder for twenty years,
ever since the Supreme Lodge was organ
lied. AT the afternoon session yesterday he
spent some time in explaining the classified
plan of assessment. The other Supreme
Lodge officer present is P. G. M. w. Will
liam McClosky, of West Virginia. He also
spoke at length on the new plan. The MEM
bers will continue the discussion of the new
plan to-day and at it's conclusion a vote
will be taken thereon. No legislation of any
character has so far been enacted.
Since the organization of the Grand Lodge,
in 1873, there has been paid out to beneficial
ries in Indiana the sum of 81. 500, 000. The
entire order has collected and distributed
over $S2,000,0W in the United States and
Canada.

VIA C
Rehearsal Gives Promise that 1t Wi
BE a Great Event.

Rehearsal Gives Promise that 1t Will
BE a Great Event.
The "Lucifer'' rehearsal promises one of
the greatest performances of a great compo-
sition that Indianapolis has ever had at any
festival. Added to this is the distinction
that this city will hear the cantata at its
first production in America. This in itself
ought to be considered a notable feature
of what the festival directors have sought
to make the most noteworthy event the city
has ever had. Last evening there were
grouped about the platform of Director Van
der Stucken Mr.. David Bispham, who is to
sing the part of Lucifer, a robust, manly
figure, with a strong face. Mr.. George
Hamlin, who is TO sing Water, and Mr.. Os-
car Ehrgott, who is to sing Earth, on the
one side. and Nine. Emma Juch and Nine.
Jacoby, who are to sing Fire on the other.
The chorus was sung with splendid effect,
and considering the length of the work and
the difficulty of it. there were few correc-
items and repetitions.
The children's chorus and the solo choir
also assisted and the volume of sound was
more than Tomlinson Hall could hold. and
1t ran over into Market and Delaware
streets and was listened to by a curbstone
audience. Mr.. Bispham has a voice of I'M
limited power, Tor, commanding as it was,
at no time did he seem 10 have exhausted
himself. This in itself is most satisfactory
49, ~ I'LL SO
in quality and a distinctness of enunciation
that are most agreeable and create a ia
vorable impression. Mr.. Bispham to-day is
the greatest baritone singer in this country
and is an American, born in Philadelphia.
In truth, the artists for this festival, which
are the best in this country at this time,
are nearly all Americans.
Mr.. Hamlin did not let his voice out, but
what was heard is sweet and pleasant, with
a peculiarly clear quality on the upper
tones. Mr.. Ehrgott. who came to take the
place of Mr.. Carl Dufft. who is too ill to
fulfill his engagement. is a Cincinnati sing
err. who has been studying 'Lucifer' and
will bring TO IL an understanding which no
other singer could possibly give il on so short
a notice. Nine. Juch has always been a IA
vorite in this city, and ii is several years
since she sang at a festival. She is as pref
" and gracious as ever. end her clear, high
soprano was heard above the hundreds Of
chorus voices, it's carrying power being one
of its finest qualities for such a work as the
"Lucifer." There is comparatively little for
the soprano and contralto TO sing, but the
little Is effective and effectively sung by
these two artists, Nine. Juch and Nine.
Jaeoby.
There was a large audience of waiting
fathers, mothers. husbands and sweet
hearts. who, while performing the duty of
escorts. had the pleasure of hearing the fes-
tival at its second best. The boys of the
chorus were dismissed early. and this took
many away. but every one who was there
will be an advertisement for the festival.
for each will tell of the wonderful music.

A large audience was in attendance at the
dog and pony show yesterday afternoon,
and a handsome sum was turned into the
treasury of the Boys Ill by Professor
Gentry. Last night, in spite of the slightly
inclement weather, the large tents at Illi-
nois and Pratt streets were we'll filled again,
and it really seems that If the popular ami
NAL actors were to remain all summer the
same large business would be the rule.
There never has been a more popular
amusement in the city than the professors,
and it fully merits it's success. Tonight
the 3. p. o. f.. Lodge, No. Is, will attend
the performance. The professor will only
remain the balance of the week, giving en-
tertainments nightly, with daily matinees

BIG CIRCUS COMING.
FOrepaugh-Sells Combination Booked
for This City ON May Fl.

The Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers
consolidated shows are booked for Indian
apolis Saturday, May Il. This circus is a
consolidation of the Adan: Forepaugh and
Sells Brothers circuses, and the combina-
ton has resulted in probably the finest
show on the road. 1t has a large increase in
the number of elephants, rare wild beasts
and trained animals, and much larger tents
have been added. The managers claim to
have secured the cream of circus talent,
new costumes. ETC., and three herds of per-
forming elephants. The show this year will
strive to make a reputation for it's protec-
ton to patrons against pic~kpockets and fas-
cality of all kinds. The combination of
two such shows as those OF Adam Fore
paugh and Sells Brothers will turn into
profitable channels the money heretofore
lost in competition, and result in giving
greater satisfaction to the public for the
same price of admission. A finer street
parade will be given than was ever wit
messed in this city.

There will be a special meeting of the
Council tonight. The belated contract be-
tween the New Telephone Company and the
city will be introduced for ratification. The
fact that it was not introduced Monday
night was due to an oversight. There was
no intentional delay on the part of sub
ordinates of the Board of Works. 1t is UNI
derstood also that the Democrats will en-
deavor to pass the ordinances for the inn
provement of streets in North Side Repub-
lican wards il they can muster the strength.
The Democrats are fearful that some of
their own number, who oppose street i'm
provements being made when the majority
of residents oppose them, will vote against
the ordinances, but it Is claimed the adj
ministration has the necessary fourteen
votes for their passage.

'Lucifer' will be given for the first time
in America at the festival tonight.
Mr.. Van der Stucken gives his orchestra
plenty TO do. They rehearsed nearly eight
hours yesterday.
A party of twenty-five ladies and gentle
men from Cincinnati will be here tonight
to hear "Lucifer."
Nine. Jacoby said last night. that she had
sung at q number of concerts and other mu-
steal events in the big Eastern cities, with
in the last few weeks, and at all of them
the ''Star-spangled Banner and other ma
tional airs had been sung.
The concert tonight, and all the evening
concerts will begin promptly at S:l5 O'Clock,
when the doors of the hall will he closed,
