Commercial Club bills.

This afternoon the committee Of the Com
mercial Club that has been at work draft
ing a new park law will make a report to
the directors of the club. They will report
a law similar to that passed in 1885, and
what was afterward declared unconstitu-
tional. Objections raised by the court have
been avoided.
Later this week the committees that have
been at work on laws for a circulating
township library, Albert Rabb, chairman;
concerning the assessment of real estate for
taxation George Wolf, chairman, and con-
corning school laws, Thomas c. Day,
chairman will report to the board of direc-
various committees are adopted, the Legis-
lature will be asked 10 pass the bills offered
There are two school committees at work
one considering each of the bills introduced
at the last Legislature AT that time the
club had given considerable thought to the
school question and a large committee was
appointed to draft law. There were fac
lions in the committee, two bills were pre-
sented, and as a compromise could not be
reached. neither was passed. This year it
is hoped TO have two committees, working
on independent lines, arrive az conclusions
that can be harmoniZed into one bill. The
assessment committee viii recommend that
in the assessment of real estate the present
time Of sixty days be at least doubled and
that assessors be authorized TO appoint dep
uties at not less than 50 Il day instead of
81 a day. the compensation now provided
This, it is claimed, is not sufficient TO induce
men competent TO judge of real-estate val
ues TO make the assessments.

Resignation of Quesnay DE Beaure-
paire from the Court of Cessation
viewed with Astonishment.
A RADICAL ANTI-DREYFUSARD
WHO WANTS TO POSE AS AN AVEN-
GER OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
Deposition OF the Exile Examined by
the COurt-Made No Confession
and Says He Is Innocent.

LONDON, Jan. 10.-The Paris correspond
ent of the Times says: "Of all the scandals
produced by the Dreyfus affair this of the
resignation of M. Quesnay de Beaurepaire
is certainly the greatest. What is beyond
doubt is that the Nationalist, who have
not a single man whose name was imposing
or whose ability was dangerous, now ap-
pear to have found chief, although his
aim is still far from clear. With Quesnay
de Beaurepaire leading the Nationalsts and
anti-Semites, Paul de Roulede leading the
League of Patriots and Godfrey Cavaignac
at the head of the Patrie Franchise. the re-
public, if it escapes, will have a hard time"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
News says: 1.-The action of NJ. Quesnay de
Beaurepaire in resigning is astounding. He
throws up one of the easiest and most hon
orabe posts and a salary of SCI. 600 a year,
which might have gone on indefinitely at
time of life when men cease to be fortunate
if they plunge into new ventures 1t is be-
lieved that he intends to stand for the Sem
ate, the Academy, and, later, for the Pres
idency of the republic
The Paris correspondent of the Daily
Graphic says: 1T really seems as if the
Dreyfus affair can only move by earth
Quesnay de Beaurepaire will precipitate
crisis which may prove the gravest the
Dreyfus affair has yet involved"
The Paris correspondent of the Daily Mail
says "To-days revelations of various kinds
tend to show that the members of the Court
of Cessation are themselves divided into two
fiercely opposed camps of Dreyfusards and
anti-Dreyfusards. NJ. Quesna de Beaure-
paires explanation of the causes for his
resignation will probably lead to the fall of
the Cabinet, since he complains bitterly of
the way M. Lebret, the minister of justice,
conducted the interview with him when he
offered to the minister a statement of the
relations between M. Bard, of the criminal
branch of the Court of Cessation, and Col
Picquart"
The Echo de Paris this morning publishes
statement by M. Quesna de Beaurepaire,
of the reason for his resignation of the
presidency Of the civil section of the Court
of Cessation. In a long document he vir-
tually protests against what he suggests is
a conspiracy on the part of the Court of
Cessation to exonerate Dreyfus But he
practically admits his Partially by declar-
ing that his resignation was intended to
avenge the army and its generals for the
sufferings they have had to endure in 81

"a Cheerful Idiot" the title being the
name of a favorite character in the Jour
nails funny column') written by Edward
Blondell, and produced under the manage
ment of Blondell & Fennessy, began a three
days engagement at the Park yesterday,
playing to inadequate houses at both per-
formances. The piece deserves better patron
age, for it is full of funny lines and situa-
lions, with several specialties of more than
common excellence. Mr.. Blondell interprets
the character of 1.-The cheerful idot' in such
a clever fashion that he never becomes wear
isome, although on the stage much of the
time. He is ably assisted by Libbie A Blon-
dell, as Bessie. who also possesses a sunny
disposition. Miss Blondell added greatly to
the pleasing impression she had already pro-
duced, by singing popular songs in a breezy,
catchy manner. She gave "a clever imi-
tation of Anna Held in her famous song
Wont You Come and Play Wiz Me- omit
ting, of course, much of that chic little
French womans violet winks and gestures,
which always makes the front seats uncom-
fortably warm for their bald-headed Occu-
pants. Mr.. Nodink and Miss Waller drew
forth hearty encores by their fine rendition
an exceptionally sweet soprano voice, while
Miss Walters contralto at times takes
remarkable range T.. Waller, as Adolph
Saltspretzeleser, showed great aptitude in
portraying German character. He was
handicapped. however, by the authors evil
dent intention to make all other roles sub
ordinate to the one reserved for himself.

cret," one Of Sutton Vane's exciting melo-
leap for life" said to take place in the

THE MUSICAL SOCIETY.
A Rehearsal Last Night of MendeIs-
sOhn's Hymn of Praise.

The first rehearsal of the Indianapolis
Musical Society, an outgrowth of the
musical talent that has been interested in
the May music festivals in this city, was
held at St. Paul's Guild House, last night,
Franz Bellinger directing the two hundred
or more singers that were present iii the
rendition of Mendelssohn's Hymn of
Praise" The rehearsal was successful and
after it was concluded a permanent organ
ization was effected, Andrew Smith being
elected president; Mrs. Seguin Wallace, vice
president; Mrs. Franz Bellinger. secretary,
and Mrs. Enrique Miller. treasurer. There
will be a rehearsal each Monday night.
Prof. Bellnger last night expressed much
satisfaction at the results of the first re-
hersal.
Inasmuch as it has been decided to aban-
don the May music festival this year, those
who are interested in musical culture are
anxious to have some sort of a musical as
sOciatiOn that to a certain extent, at least,
will take the place of that organization here.
1t is the purpose to give a grand concert
at TomlinsOn Hall next spring. On that oc-
casiOn soloists of repute will be engaged
to appear. Those interested in the new ven,
ture are modest in their ideas and while
saying that they do not hope to in any way
to take the place of the May music fes-
tival, they express the hope that through
their efforts interest in choral work may be
kept alive in INDIANAPOLIS.
