EngIish's-sIn Old Kentucky"

A melodrama of such high class and
with the wealth of scenery properties and
effects of I'm Old Kentucky" which began
a brief engagement at Englishs last night,
is seldom seen. Few such plays are writ
ten and, il written, few managers care to
invest the large amount required to produce
them adequately. 'In Old Kentucky" how
ever, came from the pen of a man who
knows the scenes and people whereof he
writes, and is produced by a man who has
the money and is willing to spend it to
make the piece signal success. The thea>
ter-going class who thoroughly enjoy play
that gives them something more than a
taste of real life. play replete with excit-
ing, yet not improbable incidents. will
cheerfully acknowledge a large debt Of graf
itude to L. c. Dazey, author. and Jacob
Lift, producer of I'm Old Kentucky" The
piece opens with mountain scene in Ken
lucky that is the very acme of stage real
ism, showing the movable bridge leading to
the lofty home on the mountains of the
heroine, Madge Briefly. In the next act the
audience is transported from the mountains
to the valley, into the heart of the world
famous 'blue-grass district" and set down
right in the midst of the spacious grounds
of Woodlawn, the beautiful home of the
rich hero of the story. Every Kentuclxian
of any Importance owns stable of thor
oughbreds and this presupposes an army
of darky care-takers. In Old Kentucky
carries twenty-five such darxies, and they
are the real thing" Such singing, dane
ing and band-playing as was done by these
sable sons of Dixie land last night have
rarely been heard or seen in Indianapolis.
The original ''pickaninny band" with its
youngest bandmaster in the world and a
drum major who is perfect magician with
the baton, was there in all its glory.
The several scenes of the third act,
showing the paddock, q part of
the grounds just outside the grand stand
and the grand stand itself, with the race
just finishing and Queen Bess in the lead,
ridden by Lulu Tabor in jockey garb,
aroused great enthusiasm almost equal to
that caused by a genuine race The melo-
dramatic characters are in most excellent
hands. A better person to portray Madge,
the fresh, rugged, lovable mountain heroine,
than Miss Lulu Tabor could scarcely be
found. Her acting is full of the charm of
ter acting was afforded by Mr.. Pierce King
sley in the role of Joe Leroy a young moon
sinner Other fine character delineations
were given by III. b. Bradley as Colonel
Sandusky DoOlittle and Charles X
French as Neb, an ante-bellum darky
servant George r. Caine furnished
an excellent portrayal of the old
style villain, almost good in his
way as Simon Legree in "Uncle Toms

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
WORD FROM Mr.. TAGGART.
He Is at Mobile, HOpefuI--A Launch
Reported Stranded.

The first hopeful tidings from the gulf
coast containing q probability that the
Paul Jones, with Miss Florence Taggart
aboard was not lost, came late last night
in an Associated Press dispatch from Mo-
bile, Ala, which said:
Thomas Taggart received a telegram to-
night from Fort Morgan, saying a report
had reached there that a launch had been
stranded on Dauphin island, at the entrance
to Mobile bay. Mr.. Taggart at once or
dered boat sent to investigate. 1t is not
known what time the boat left for Fort
Morgan. Fort Morgan is seventy-five miles
from this city"
This was followed by a dispatch from
Pensacola, Fla, saying it was feared that
the launch had gone down with all on
board The tug Simpson, which left there
Saturday in search of the Paul Jones, had
returned from a thorough search of the
gulf, from Port Eads to Pensacola, and
could find no trace of the launch or passen-
gers.
Mr.. Taggart arrived at Mobile at Ais
o'clock yesterday afternoon. He sent tele-
gram to Mrs Taggart announcing his ar
rival and saying the people had no fear that
the launch was not safe. Later he sent the
following telegram:
Two revenue boats are in search of the
between the lighthouse and Mobile feels
sure the boat is ashore one of the many
small islands. The boat is supplied with
plenty of provisions, and / am much encour-
aged. The government and Senator Fair
banks and Congressman OVerstreet are Of
fering all possible service Mr.. Jones feels
sure the boat is safe"

The Lippe-Detmold Suggestion.

BERLIN, Jan. 1Z-In the Reichstag to-
day Herr Leuzmann, Freisinnige-People
party, raised the question of the Lippe-Det-
mold succession, strongly criticised the ac-
tion of the Federal Council and called on
the people of Detmold to draft their sue
cesson law without delay. The Imperial
Chancellor, Prince HOhenlohe, defended the
Federal Council He pointed out that its
decision was entirely reserved regarding the
position of the Lippe Legislature in respect
to the rights of the princely house and he
justified the action of the council in not
entering into the merits of the dispute. FL
nally the chancellor suggested the POSSIBLE
ity of a rapprochement of the contestants
a a later stage of the proceedings. After
further debate the estimates of the imperial
chancelery department were agreed to.

CLOTHING DEALER STABBED.
Jacob Nuremberg Attacked by Two
Negroes.

Jacob Nuremberg, a secondhand clothing
dealer at No. 334 Indiana avenue, engaged
in a fierce fight at $3.50 o'clock last night in
front of his place with Bert Taylor and
Clarence Able, two drunken young negroes
Nuremberg came out of the affray stabbed
in the left lung. Taylor was arrested by
Bicycle Patrolmen Schroeder and Hauser
and charged with assault and battery with
intent to kill, and Able escaped. Nuremberg
had tried to protect his property. The two
negroes had tried to take it from him. Dr.
Booz, who attended Nuremberg, said late last
night that he would have to wait for devel-
opments before he could determine whether
the wounded man would live or die. Neren-
berg has a wife and four children. Tay-
lor's home is at No. 232 Bird street
The most tangible story gathered from the
members of the excited family was that the
two negroes had gone into Nuremberg S
store and had dickered with him for some
clothing. They could not agree and the
two young men left. As they passed out Of
the door Able reached up and tore pair Of
trousers from a hook outside the door Ner-
enberg rushed out and called to them. They
ran back TO him and the fight began Ner-

ROUT FOR PARNELLITES
LABORERs SUCCESSFUL IN THE IRISH
MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS.
John Morley, the English Liberal,
JingOism and imperialism"

DUBLIN, Jan. 17.-Judging from the re-
suits already known at midnight, the Irish
elections to-day have been remarkable for
the success of the laborers and the waning
power of Parnellism. The new feature is
that women were allowed to vote for the
first time In Dublin the representation of
labor has been quadrupled, while the Par
nellites have secured little more than half
their former strength, although, owing to
internal dissensions in John Redmond's
party, it is rather difficult to give an accu-
rate estimate. Mr.. Redmond himself has
been elected for one ward, but he did not
head the poll, and therefore misses the al
dermanship. Timothy Harrington, member
of Parliament for the harbor division of
Dublin is in the same boat, having been
topped by new laborite.
In Cork the Parnellites have done better
but they have failed to retain their former
aScendancy, having now only a majority of
one over the Dillonites, while the laborites
have secured nine seats. However, wherever
the issue was between a Parnellite and an
anti-Parnellite and the question was square
ly fought the Parnellites were victorious.
Speaking generally there is an increase of
nationalist power, but nothing like rigor-
Gus exclusion of unionists.
