A WOMAN WITH PLUCK
MRS. OSCAR Z. LEE FIRES SIX SHOTS
AT A BURGLAR.
She Heard Him at n window and At
tempted to Put N Bullet i'm Him,
but without Success.

Six shots from a revolver, fired In rapid
succession, about IL o'clock last night dis
turbed the slumbers of several families in
the neighborhood of West Ray and Illinois
streets and also caused a Burglar to sus-
pend operations long enough to get away
from that vicinity.
The shots were fired by a woman, who
watched the burglar for some moments
while her husband ate lunch.
Oscar z. Lee and wife, living at 1907
South Illinois street, after returning home
from the theater last night sat down to a
lunch. Mrs. Lee heard noises outside the
house, but thought nothing of them at the
time. She finished her repast sooner than
her husband and went into the sitting-room
where she started to prepare for bed. There
she again heard the noises and went into
her bed room and found that someone was
trying TO open a window there. There was
no light in the room and through small
opening between the curtain and the WIN
dow she was able to see a man outside
The window was right at the head of her
bed. Soon she hear the fellow trying to
open another window In the room She
went to the bed in which her son was
sleeping, woke him and told him 70 keep
still, after which she went to the bureau
drawer and got revolver. At that time
she was without shoes and clad only in
muslin undergarments. but she did ror
wait TO dress further. She walked out the
front door and through the mud in the
front yard TO the south corner Of the house,
where she peeked around and saw the
burglar still at work on the fence run
ring close to the house. She Immediately
opened fire. The man, greatly surprised,
made some exclamation, but made haste t.,
get to the ground and on the other side o.
the fence. Mrs. Lee was unable to climb
the fence, but followed down on her side
and continued the firing. She thought none
of the shots took effect. The man made his
escape over the rear fence of the lot adj
joining Mrs. Lee then returned to the
house and told her husband what had &C.

The Australian Burlesquers, which opened
at the Empire Theater yesterday for a
three days engagement, presents some
thing new in the way of a first part. 1t is a
minstrel ensemble, which is staged in very
pretty style. During this first part Edna
Urine, Margaret Sheridin, Ada Butner,
Sam Collins and others do the bulk of the
singing, which is good. Edna Urine opens
the olio with a singing sketch. Harry Bry-
ant and Anna Yale, in their act, Just Mar
ried," have room for introducing many
suggestive sayings of which they take ad-
vantage. Charlie Banks has taken to do
ing 'black face" and is seen in a mono
logue turn which pleases. Kennedy and
Quartella are two masters In the art of
Juggling, their acrobatic feats on a re-
volving globe are marvellous. Nelson, Glin-
seretti and Demonia are clever In an &C
robatic sketch. Sam Collins and Minnie
Cline, in their song and dance turn, are as
sisted by little pickaninny who is made
to twist his body painfully in an effort to
sing The act would take well IL Ii were
to stop at that, but the child Is taken to
the front of the stage and with his two
older companions, revels in suggestive re-
marks which are palmed on as jokes. The
performance concludes with the burlesque,

piece Harry Bryant as the photographer,
Charley Banks as the rural visitor and Sam
Collins with the rest of the company pro-

camera. The Australian Burlesquers will
remain until tomorrow evening, when the
Victorian Burlesqeurs will occupy the

stage.

"a Hot Old Time" which opened
three DAYS engagement at the Park
Theater yesterday, is as full OF cause Tor
laughter as ever before. The author has
rewritten the farce and improved and
freshened IL to a great extent, but he has
also shown much carelessness in his work.
Last years edition had for its central idea
a vapor oven, patented by Gen. Stonewall
Blazer. one of the characters, and from
this feature much hilarity was extracted.
The present version causes the people In
the play to talk about the oven through
two acts. but the utensil fails TO material
lie in the third act. Instead or this the en-
tire company is transported to the Tar
West, leaving the play to end In an abrupt
and somewhat curious manner.
Johnny Ray as Larry Mooney, the ex-
privileges of ODonovan Dun, NJ. p, has
the largest and best role, being on the
stage almost continuously, but the style
of Irishman he portrays is so excruciat-
ingly funny as never TO become tlresome.
Mrs. Ray Is much too goodlooking to waste
her time In such an ungracious part as tnat
OF the loudvoiced, tyrannical Mrs. Blazer:
Harry Dull makes an excellent General
Blazer. Frank Lalor, who plays the dual
roles Of Jack Treadwell, a Yale quarter
back. and Larry MONEYS double, wins
considerable applause by his versathlty.
There is new Alkali Ike In the play this
season IN the person OF L. bernaru Dyhyh'
who is decided improvement over the
one seen here last year. Mr.. Dyllyn has a
good baritone voice, which he uses to adj
vantage in singing descriptive songs.
Cuerita Vincent makes big hit with her
interesting rendition of coon songs and
her display of grace and suppleness In
dancing and cakewalking. Emma Francis
tries very hard to initiate Nellie O'Neilf
in her dancing and acrobatic feats, but
succeeds only in small measure. The great
team of acrobats and comedians, Hayes
and Healy, are still with the Rays and con-
tribute the best speciality on the pro-
gramme. Healy Is the cleverest and most
muscular dwarf of the many that visit
Indianapolis with theatrical troupes.
The Rays and their well-selected COM
pany will continue to-day and tomorrow,
with daily matinees. Thursday they will
retire in favor Of Vogel and Deming'
ministrels

Notwithstanding the forbidding weather.
the Grand Opera House was nearly filed
last night with people who were eager to
receive Miss La Vernes souvenir photo
graphs and curious to see how the stock
company would present Carmen" the
play that has been produced so often and
so well before The various members of
the company have never been given such
cordial greetings they received last
night. IL was difficult at first to recog-
nize Miss Donico in a blonde wig, while
Miss Shannon's entrance was the signal
for murmurs OF surprise occasioned by her
greatly changed appearance as the raven
haired Carmen. Miss La Verne's recogni-
tion was instantaneous when she appeared
at the top OF the stairway down which she
and Miss Shannon pass at their first en-
trance. Several OF her admirers stepped to
points near the stage and tossed handsome
bouquets or roses and carnations at her
feet The applause was SO enthusiastic
and prolonged as TO interrupt the progress
OF the play until II subsidized
The stock company gave a highly cred
table performance of Carmen" which is
one or the strongest OF plays To Miss
Shannon as Carmen and Mr.. Macy as Don
Jose fell the burden OF the lines, and for
the most part they were given with ade-

quate force Miss Shannon showed lack
OF warmth which was pardonaole In view
of the Importance of her role and the I'm
tied time for its preparation. Mr.. Macy
made handsome soldier and a picturesque
smuggler. He finds IL easier TO be con-
vincing In somber character such as that
Of Don Jose than in any other kind, and
is we'll fitted for IL, both physically and IN
temperament. Mr. Kramer appeared 10
fine advantage in the character of Esca-
milo, the toreador, and created consider
able enthusiasm by his singing or the
toreador song in the second act. Miss Vio-
let Rand's dance in the same act was an
other pleasing feature and one that was
thoroughly appreciated Miss La Verne
rose admirably above the smallness OF her
role. Mr.. Sheldon's Garcia was well played.
The remaining members OF the company
shared with a number of extra people the
task of adding to the general picturesque
effect.
Carmen is invested with scenery OF
striking beauty, especially the iliurnlnaIeu
garden in the second act. The COSTUMES
are gay in color and of the real spanish
type. quite in keeping with the other ex-
cellent features of the production. -.
The play will continue all week, Win
usual matinees tomorrow and SATURDAY.

The EIks' Minstrels.

A much desired feature has been added
to the programme for the Elks' Ministries.
who give their first show at English S
Opera House Friday night. Through the
courtesy Of Sosman, Lands & Hunt, man.
ayers of the Grand stock company, Miss
La Verne will be permitted to appear In the
olio of the performances. In granting this
permission the managers suspended a
rigid rule against such things only because
Miss La Verne has a deep interest in the
Elks order Miss La Verne will probably
appear in a black-face sketch, If she has
time to change makeup, as she Is taking
n leading part in Carmen" at the Grand,
this week She will appear at the per-
formances Saturday as we'll as Friday.
Another pleasing feature, which is a hit
with the company. is the work of Myers
and Mckinney 1.-THE tough bootblacks.'
They are two newsboys who were found
doing a little original song and dance spe-
cialty in the streets. This will be put on the
stage just as the boys played 1t on the
street. The sale of seats yesterday was
very large. but the fact that there are
three performances left a large number OF
desirable seats unsold. The admission at
the matinee will be so cents.

itself admirably to decoration and the
palms. ferns and potted plants were ar
ranged in an artistic manner. One bouquet
of magnificent American Beauties was the
only deviation from the pink and white
of the decorations. Pink carnations and
lacey ferns were used in the dining room
and pink tapers and rose-hued flower
shades cast a roseate hue over the room.
The reception rooms were also in pink
loose bouquets on the tables and mantels,
and trailing smilax. Assisting Mrs. Gay

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, March5.-A second
case of smallpox has developed here. Miss
Clara Davis, a student from Bluffton, was
taken Ill yesterday and on being told she
probably had smallpox she took the first
train for her home at Bluffton. On her ar
rival there her brother insisted on her re-
turn, and she at once took the train again
for Bloomington. going at once to the Of
flee of DR.. Rogers. who is secretary of the
city Board of Health. AS soon as he real
lied the situation Miss Davis was given a
room and is now being carefully nursed at
the city's expense.
1t seems that she caught the disease from
her roommate. who had a light case of
varioloid, which was contracted from a
student named Blything, who had been
quarantined several weeks ago, but stole
out nights and promenaded with the young
woman. All precautions possible are being
taken to prevent the spread of the disease
But SO many have been exposed that
quarantine seems impossible. Miss Davis
is a relative of Senator Ichorn, a WELL
known Democratic politician

miscellaneous business was transacted in

Trouble Predicted IL Porto Rico Is
Not Given Free Commerce.

CITY OF MEXICO. March 5.-The press
here. both native and foreign, condemn the
policy of the United States Congress to-
ward Porto Rico. The papers printed In
English are severe in their comments on
the treatment OF the annexed island and
predict trouble ahead. The Spanish colon
lists organ, Correo Espanol. says: 'Mc-
Kinley. having taken pity on Porto Rico.
has asked Congress TO authorize him TO de-
vote to the relief of the island-which has
been converted by famine into new Brit
ish India-a sum equivalent to the custom
house duties paid by the merchandise OF
Porto Rico on its introduction 10 the
United States. IT Is said that half a loaf IL
better than no bread. but We are OF
opinion that this measure Is worse than
nothing. Instead of converting the inhabi-
tants OF the island into mendicants, they
ought to be left free to develop their nat
