MUSIC AND DRAMA
THE JEFFERSON.

Tt was vast and gorgeous spectacle, a
moving pageantry Of artistically adorned
dancers, in short, "The New Superba'
was the attraction at The Jefferson last
night and the first of the week S presen-
tation was greeted by a large and de-
lighted audience.
The principal features of the cast are as
follows:
Superha, Eugenia Dingens
Wallalia, Ellenore Carroll
Silvia, Louise Truax
Leander, Anna Stannard
Pierrot, Charles Guyer
Mora, Nellie DAILY
Barty, Sarony Lambert
Brigitta, j. II. Haslam
Superha, the guardian of true love and
Wallalia the wicked queen are involved
in a contest over the possession of Silvia
who is spirited away from her lover
Leander. The latter enlists the aid of
Pierrot and through maze of bewilder-
ing scenes in the end a happy reunion is
brought about. The plot is not allowed
to remain long in the mind for it ia lost
in the fun and whimsicalities of the play
which starts early and holds their pace
to the final curtain. A number of features
are introduced in the way of birds and
beasts while the tricks are cleverly
worked. The second act lays its burden
of fun heavily on the shoulders of Pierrot
who is tireless but never tiresome and
seems able to carry all the work piled up
on him. The third act is largely taken
I'D with some excellent specialties.
Charles Guyer's acrobatic feats are won
derful including odd steps from chairs
and tables and that marvellous three.
barrelled somersault turn. His panto--
mimic action and facial expressions are
greatly to be commended and he shines
as a clown. Others in the play are chosen
for their acrobatic abilities and the va
rious imps do some lively moving
Miss Dingens makes a charming Su-
rerLa and the soubrette is Nellie DAILY
and she is as delightful dancer as one
could wish in work of this sort. Anna
Stannard as Leander and Louise Truesax-
as Sylvia are attractive young women and
many in the ballet possess personal
charms.
Among the dancers the duck dance by
Arthur FiIinni deserves special mention.
The Rossi Brothers have an amazing
speciality not to forget the very catchy
whistling act by Louise Truax.
1t is hard to particularize as to the
scenic glories of this production. There
is a wilderness of scenery and all sorts of
mecanical devices have been used to give
effective stage settings. One is tempted
to think that inanimate things are in
some way mysteriously endowed with
life and even banjos are illuminated
The transformations are particularly
beautiful and most gorgeous dreams of
fairly land.
Especially noteworthy is the scenic
setting when Leander leaps with horse
across the chasm of death, and NOTHING
could be more delicate than the fiowarU
lane and the fairy vessel on a sea of
roses The beautiful arrangement of bead

THINK HE is A CROOK.
Man Giving the Name of Philip Toner
Caught at the Denison Hotel.

Philip Toner, giving his home as Philadel-
phia, and supposed to be one of the most
successful hotel thieves in the country, was
arrested yesterday by Detective Thornton,
who was assisted by the chambermaids of
the Denison Hotel. Since the crowds began
filling the hotels in the early part of this
week reports have come regularly to the
police every morning of robberies in differ
ent hotels about the city. In each case the
thieving was done between the hours of 6
and in the morning, the thief apparently
preferring to wait until his victim had left
the room unlocked to breaking in any doors
and laying himself more liable to detection.
AS it was. several times he escaped arrest
very narrowly. Twice man was caught
under suspicious circumstances, but each
time he so successfully assumed an intox-
icated condition for the occasion that his
captors were completely deceived. Thurs
day morning, at English's Hotel. the wife
of James A. Reed, of Kansas City, awoke
to find some one fumbling about the dresser
in the room. She at once awoke her hus-
band, who sprang from bed and seized the
supposed burglar. Immediately the fellow
began staggering and mumblng in maud
lin way, asking for his friend Harvey. He
begged to be allowed to go, and Mr.. Reed
at the English was awakened by hearing
somebody open her door. She turned to see
who the intruder was, and man resem-
bling Toner merely started in and then
withdrew as though he had made a mis-
take. Tuesday morning at the usual hour
j. b; Workman, Spencer, Ind was robbed
of about $50 and a gold watch valued at
500 at the English Hotel. Charles RI. Giger
of Wheeling, w. Va. was relieved of a
watch and $40 in money at the same house
and Dewitt G. Bolten. of Paterson, n. j.
suffered at the Denson.
Several other robberies of minor impor-
lance have been reported, and yesterday
morning, about o'clock Detectives Thorn
ton and Smith started after the thief They
chose the Denison House as the place OF
action. but waited there three or four hours
leaving shortly before o'clock in despair
But the wary fellow had been watching
them, and, soon as they left, started
again on the work before him Instruc-
tions had been left with the employees of
the hotel to notify Thornton if the man
made his appearance. But these anxious
people did not wait 10 notify the police
Toner walked in as though he were a guest
of the hotel. and was caught i'm the act of
entering a room. Again he tried TO play
drunk, but his ruse was not good this time

Mt Roll Ordered.
AN ANGRY MOB
After a Man Who Claimed to Repre-
sent an indianapolis Institution.

l.. c. Davis. who claimed he represented
an Indianapolis sanitarium, has been horse
whipped, tarred and feathered and driven
out of Carrollton, ILL.,. by mob of angry
citizens. according to an Associated Press
dispatch received last night Davis, the
dispatch relates, appeared in Carrollton two
years ago. He became acquainted with
Maud Hensler, the daughter of John Hens
Ter, prominent manufacturer of the town.
After time the couple eloped, and when
they returned they said they were married.
They, went to live at Alton, where a child
was porn. HenSIer investigated and found
tnat DAVIS and his daughter were not man
ana wife He then went to Alton, had Da-
Wis arrested and forced him to marry his
daughter. After that, Hensler claims, Da-
Wis began TO extort money from him by
threatening to kill him. Again Hensler had
DAVIS arrested, but Davis signed an agree
ment that he would leave town, and, Hens
Ter refusing to prosecute the case Davis
was released. Instead of keeping his end
OF the agreement he went back to the Hens
Ter nome, and for the third time the al
legged physician was arrested. Shortly after
midnight Thursday night a mob led by
Hensler's friends broke into the Jail, took
Davis out and led him to Hensler's shop.
Ihere Hensler was waiting and he and an
other man beat the unfortunate Davis with
WHIPS ana tarred and feathered him.
AS Well as could be learned last night
Davis Is not known in this city. His name
Is NOT found In city directories of former
years.

In THE COURTS.
Divorce Complaints.

Nettie Coffman complains of William G.
Coffman in a suit for divorce, filed yester-
day. She says her husband comes home late
at night in an intoxicated condition and
has frequently struck her. Her husband is
employed by a railroad company. The
plaintiff asks the court to allow her judg-
ment for $3.50 to pay the expenses of the
suit.
William H. Fulwider sues Emma L. Full
wider for divorce. They were married in
1895. The plaintiff says his wife called him
''deceiver," liar and ''swndler' and has
threatened to kill him. Without cause, he
says, the defendant refuses to live with him
and he declares she has been seen in the
company of other men of questionable char
acter. He claims the defendant has possess
sion of their household goods and refuses
to allow him the use Of the same. Plaintiff
declares he has made great sacrifice with
the hope of regaining the woman's affec-
lions, but all in vain.
In, Room p Superior. Court. Sadie Hough-
land brought an action for divorce from
Edwin A. Houghland, to whom she was
married in the State of Michigan in 1886.
They lived together for ten years. The
plaintiff charges that Houghland has failed
to support her and their child. She says
he earns $40 week as a solicitor for an
insurance company.

NEXT YEARS EXPENSES
ESTIMATES TO BE DISCUSSED AT
CONFERENCE OF CITY OFFICIALS.
Police Substitution "A Problem to Be
SOlved-SaIaries of Police and
Observation-Disclosures Routine.

conference will be held this morning
by the different departments of the city adj
ministration, when the estimates for the ex-
penses of next year will be considered. Con-
troller johnson refuses to make the esti-
mates public until he recommends them.
The strongest possible effort will be made
to keep from raising the tax levy-this for
political reasons. Expenses will be cut in
every possible way. One of the present
problems is how to handle the police SUBJ
station question. The idea of the police SUI
perintendent is that there should be four
substations 1t is hardly probable that more
than two will be built. City Controller
Johnson thinks it would be possible to re-
model the "calaboose' at West Indianapolis
and make it a substation When the super
intendent of police made up his estimate for
next years expenses he gave the controller
a wide margin in which to cut them down,
and it is believed the controller is cutting
near the inner edge of the margin. After
the estimates are adjusted to the satisfac-
ton of the controller they will be sent to the
Council in the form of an appropriation
ordinance. The Council has the right to cut
the figures down if it sees fit, but it cannot
raise them.
The mayor and the city controller have
succeeded in impressing on the councilmen
behind the ordinance looking to the in
crease of the salaries of the police and fire
force the Importance of not pushing the or
dinance until 1T is seen whether or not there
will be enough money left, after the other
appropriations are made, to pay the in
crease. If there is not enough money left
it Is feared Councilman Little and his col
leagues will have to go without the favor of
the policemen and firemen to be gained by
pushing the ordinance through.
