GRAND STOCK COMPANY.
The Laughab1e Farce "IncOg," with a
Curtain Raiser for Four.

The twenty-third week Of the Grand stock
company will be devoted to that comedy
OF complications and Dromio-like tendencies,
''Incog." The well-known actor Charles
Dickson, who was recently here at the head
OF Mistakes VIII Happen" first made peo-
pie laugh in this farce. That was seven years
ago. since which time it has not been seen.
1t is believed to be we'll suited to the stock
company. which will find diversion from
the heavy drama Of Camille in the light.

story Tom Stanhope, a lively young fellow,
Is determined to marry Kate ATmitage, the
governess in General Stanhope's family.
The general Is a highltempered old fellow.
who is equally as determined that Tom shall
marry Isabel Howard, his ward He and
his son quarrel over the matter and Tom is
turned out of the house. Kate's pride is
aroused by the generals opposition and she
declares TO Tom she will never marry him
unless his father requests her TO do so. Tom
swears that he will make the general prefer
such a request, and in order 20 begin this
difficult task he DISCUSSES himself in a blonde
wig and WhiSkerS, making up from q pho
tograph he found while walking along the
beach near the Sea View Hotel, where the
frst two acts take place. The general takes
kindly 10 the disguised Tom and is about
20 help him marry Kate. when the plan is
tnterfered with by the arrival of Harry
Winters, the original of the photograph,
and, TO cOmplicate matters. the latter has a
twin brother, Dick. who has been confined
IN q sanatorium for mental disorder, and
who turns up at the Sea View Hotel at this
Juncturc- The three men look exactly alike,
and the complications can be readily inn
agined, especially as Dick Winters has a
wife and family and Harry a sweetheart.
Before matters are Strengthened out every
body has a chance to mistake Tom StanhOpe
for one Of the brothers, and the brothers, in
turn, for Tom. The situations are vastly
amusing, and there are rapid-fire complica-
tons. provoking merriment. In the end
General Stanhope asks Kate 10 marry his
son IN due form and everything comes TO a
pleasant conclusion. The cast = as follows:

Francis Wilson I'm "The Little Cor
poFaI."

Francis Wilson always one OF the most
popular performers who visit Indianapolis
during the course of a season, will appear
at English's Friday and Saturday with his
new opera. THE Little Corporal" by Harry
3. Smith and Ludwig Highlander. Francis
Wilson's own peculiar style of humor in
comic opera roles has never been initiated
while his haif-taIk. half-sung songs are just
as distinctively the result OF his own ideas
OF how 10 make an audience laugh as any
thing else he does. In 1.-The Little Corporal"
his admirers are promised one Of the best
entertainments Wilson ever presented, not
even excepting "Erminie." His part Of
Pierre Petitpas Is a masquerade role from
first to last, appearing most OF the time
in the garments of Napoleon during his
Egyptian campaign. The scene Of the open
ing act of the new piece is laid in Brittany
at that turbulent period Of French history
the year 1897. Pierre Petitpas. the faithful
valet OF the Marquis de ST. Andre, a pro-
scribed Royalst leader. has purchased his
masters confiscated estates. and in order 10
protect them for the marquis. pretends to be
q rabid Republican. St. Andre is surprised
by Republican troops, but they are not
aware of his identity, and Petitpas declares
him 10 be his assistant in an Astronomical
observation he Is making. Both are drafted
into the army. but by posing as scientists
they are able TO gain assignment TO the
corps of saVants BOnaparte Is sending with
the expedition 10 Egypt. In the second act
the two bogus men OF science are with the
invading army at Alexandria, where they
are joined by the marquiss fiiancee, Adele
de TourVille, who. 10 join her lover, has en-
listed as a cantiniere, and taken along her

The Stopping of the Clock.

Surprising falls the instantaneous calm.
The sudden silence in my chamber small;
l. starting. lift my head in half alarm
The clock has stopped-thats ALL
The clock has stopped! Yet why have 20 found
An instant feeling almost like dismay?
Why note it's silence sooner than its sound?
For IL has licked all day.
So may a life beside my go on.
And such companicnship unheeded keep:
companionship scarce recognized till gone,
And lost in sudden sleep
And so the blessings heaven daily grants
Are in their very commences forgot:
We little heed what answereth our wants
Untii IL answers not
strangeness falleth on familiar ways.
As IL some pulse gone beyond recall
Something unthought OF linked with all days
Some clock has stopped--thats all.

The managers of Olga Nethersole, the great
English actress, who appears at English's
on Monday night of next week, have decided
to give Carmen for the one performance
here. Miss Nethersole has not been seen in
this city since the first year she was intro
duced TO the American public, four years
ago, and her engagement will be an unusual
theatrical event. Nethersole's Carmen
has been the most widely advertised of all
her approximations in this country, not ex-
cepting her Camille which is generally
admitted TO be the greatest OF any English
speaking actress.
