"Three of N Kind" at Park.

A curtailed edition OF Z. E. Kidder's
musical comedy Three of a Kind" was
presented at the Park Theater yesterday
afternoon for the first time in Indianapolis.
Most of the people in the company are
clever and the songs are fresh and pleas
ing. In fact, many of the songs have been
taken from musical comedies that play the
higher-priced houses. and this was a
reason. doubtless. for the extraordinary
GOODNESS of yesterdays audiences. Had the
people been more appreciative, tney could
have enjoyed a greater number of song
hits I'm the shape of encores- THE Innocent
Young Maid" The Queen of Bohemia"
lone Summer" and '"The Belle of Murray
Hill were all omitted for lack of APP
plause to justify their rendition. 1t Is evil
dent that there Is another version or
Three of Kind" calling for great
many more in the cast than appear at the
Park, but the eleven people brought TO
indianapolis are, for the most part, clever
and capable. Mae Crossley as Dolly
Eastwood is an unusually attractive young
woman and possesses a sweet, sympathetic
soprano voice. Her pleasing stage pres
ence and undoubted vocal ability furnish
ample grounds for the prophecy that she
will be a notch or two higher in the pro-
fession ere long. Gertie Reynolds, who as
sumes the role of Dainty, Is not possessed
of much beauty, but has talent and versa
tility in abundant measure Her singing
and dancing in the "Sapho" buriesque and
also in the medley in the third act. &C
companied by some excellent light effects.
were among the pronounced hits of the
performance. The three are composed
of w. II. Lytell, Gus Pixley and Fred
Ireland Two of these. Lytell and Pixley,
are good comedians and Pixley also has
bass voice of considerable power and flex-
Utility. His comic songs and whistling,
accompanied by some inimitable grotesque
dancing, in the last act drew out the only
real hearty encores that marked the enter
tainment. Ireland's tenor voice was heard
to good advantage in several songs for a
quartet and also in 1.-The Blue and the
Gray" Miss Crossley and Miss Reynolds
displayed some very rich gowns at various
stages OF the performance.
Three of a Kind unquestionably con-
tains features that stamp IL one of the
best amusement enterprises that have visi-
ted the Park the present season.

The Philippine Question Discussed
Last Night.

The Philippine question was discussed i'm
many of the intricate and difficult phases
last night by the Y. M. c. A. Debating
Club. The question as stated was, RE
solved. That the present war of the United
States against the Philippines is justifi-
able" Ed Neighbor and John Rodenbeck,
of the affirmative side, held that the United
States has the right of conquest in the
Philippines by the purchase of the islands
from Spain. They pointed out the fact
that it is not the better class of the Fill
pinos that We are fighting, but only a gang
of deluded outlaws. led by Aguinaldo.
They held that many of the more civilized
inhabitants of the islands desire annexa-
ton to the United States. They also re-
minded the listener of the moral duty of
the United States to establish over the
islands a pure and substantial govern
ment.
All of these points were attacked by
Ralph Wells and w. F. Butler with fury
and considerable tact. The three judges,
however, rendered a unanimous decision in
favor of the affirmative. The general vote
of the society on the merits of the ques-
ton was also I'm favor of the affirmative.

DEMOCRACY AND SILVER.
MIR. johnson Thinks Party Leaders

CHICAGO, March %. j. G.. johnson,
chairman of the executive committee of the
Democratic national committee, being
asked for his opinion of articles published
to-day in which IL is made to appear that a
mencing with Chairman Jones, of the ma
tionai committee, favor the abandoning of
any reference to the silver question in the
forthcoming Democratic platform, said:
II have read the articles i'm question and

attempt to connect any prominent Demo-

pie of very many similar articles which

in papers with whose managers the wish
is very probably father 10 the thought
IF these articles read with care IL
will be seen that while they shrewdly con-
meet various men, including General Wea-

in reality not word of authority for the
proposition in the articles, from beginning
to end, from any of the men whose names
appear therein So far as Senator Jones'
Mr.. Walsh, Mr. Abbott or myself are con-
cerned none of us has ever had a thought
uttered syllable which would war
rant the suggestions contained i'm the ar
ticles, and all are Numerically opposed
to the position in which We are dexter
ously placed by the ingenious authors OF
the articles in question.
so far as General Weaver is concerned
he Is a prominent Populist. but is not in
position TO speak for any Democrat. What

Annie Laurie.

Across the sea a fragment,
Blown with the spray and mist,
Shoreward from rosy distances
Where shade and shine hold tryst,
An old song set In coiorings
OF gold and amethyst.
A ship on the horizon
Where misty curtains cling,
Lightly TO clearer levels
Her sails of violet swing;
a schooner nearing the harbor,
Listen! The sailors sing:
"Maxwelton braes are bonnie
Where early fa's the dew,
Twas there sweet Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true.
@ the rainbow lights OF boyhood
kindle my skies anew.
"Maxwelton braes are bonnie"
How sweet that old refrain,
The promises of morning
Break into bloom again.
And on the lowly roof 1 hear
The music OF the rain.
''Maxwelton braes are bonnie"
There's mother at the door.
The cattle down the dusky lane
Are coming as of yore,
And mounted on the pasture bars,
1 swing and sing once more.
'.Maxweltou braes are bonnie''
o bonnie maid of mine,
Thro all the mists OF distance
Again the dark eyes shine:
The world is full OF music,
And living seems divine.
Across the sea a fragment
Blown with the spray and mist.
Shoreward from rosy distances
Where shade and shine hold tryst,
vision and memory,
In gold and amethyst.
