The ELKS ARE HUSTLING
INDIANAPOLIS LODGE WILL GIVE A
WEEK OF ENTERTAINMENT.
Committees with Two Hundred MEM
bers ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS and
Bazaar in the CyciOrama.

The Indianapolis Elks have given a good
many entertainments, but the members of
the order think they have one coming for
the week of Dec. 2 that will be more ex-
tensive and productive of fun han any
they nave yet engaged in. The Elks are
organizing a wonderland" and bazaar to
be held at the CyclOrama building. 1t viii
be made up of vaudeville. museums, mid
ways, a German village, and a bazaar will
be conducted that will rival in size one of
the local department stores. The Elks are
already pushing their plans.
About two hundred members of the lodge
are enlisted as boosters" Lodges from
over Indiana, Ohio and Illinois are being
invited TO send delegations, and Odd Eel
lows, knights of Pythias and other or
CARNATIONS of the city are to nave special
nights set apart for them during the week.
The railroads are to give reduced rates.
Business men of the city, as well as indi-
viduals, are pouring in contributions of all
kinds that are to be sold in the bazaar.
One concern has given several tons of coal.
Another has contributed cooking ranges.
A lumber company has offered all the lum-
Der that will be needed to prepare the
CyclOrama building for the wonderland
The purpose of the whole enterprise is to
raise a fund with which to furnish the
Elks' new home. 1t is thought that the
contributions for the week will be so heavy
that the proceeds of the six days enter
tainment will be practically all profit. The
men at work say they find interest in their
efforts to be widespread. The organization
of the wonderland" is divided into
branches, with a committee in charge of
each. Some committees have five members
and one numbers thirty-eight. The whole
enterprise is headed by Frank Davey,
chairman of the executive committee. The
other members of this committee are: III.
S. BeissenherZ, secretary; +. X. Sheppard,
treasurer; w. E. English, Joseph r. Bell,
E.. @. Sourbier, ]. 7. Tanning and john
Mahoney. On the reception committee are
the names of John w. Kern, chairman;
Governor Durbin, Hugh MCGOWAN, Thomas
Taggart and about thirty others.

saw a young man and a woman. the latter
little more than a girl. standing surrounded
by a party of young men and women
dressed in evening clothes. Directly IN
front Of the young couple was a fellow
with a large dinner bell, which he con-
stantly rang with a loud, insistent note,
right in their faces. "A wedding party
went around the outer circle. The embar-
rassmen OF the two central figures was
really distressing. The man stood with a
frozen smile on his face-such a smile as
an Indian brave might assume at the tor
ture stake-while the youthful bride mad
her eyes fixed desperately on space, and
she looked as if she would have welcomed
even the collapse Of the building. And all
this time the man with the bell kept up his
brazen clansor and joyOusiy proclaimed
himself a ~thoughtless ass. If the bride
groom had knocked him down and then
kicked him hard. hardly a man among the
onIookers but would have retOiced.

THE THEATER FIRST NIGHT.
All Actors More or Less Affected by
Nervousness.


Minnie Madden Fiske, in the Critic.
Some day a psychologist may write an
interesting essay on the strangely varying
effects upon actors Of a frst-night per-
Torrance. 1t would require a psychologist
to illustrate and analyze the temperamental
phenomena that a frst-night performance
develops.
One actor is stimulated by the excitement
of a first performance to do his best, and
all the conditions Of such an event seem TO
inspire his most artistic efforts. On the 9TH
er hand, another actor is depressed by the
excitement of such an event and fails ut
terly to develop in a character those attri-
butes that study, ability and purpose may
have promised. The writer belongs to the
latter unfortunate class, and has passed
through strange experiences IN conse-
Quence.
To the player unhappily affected on a
first night the conditions seem TO be alb
normal, and they are destructive Of conh-
dence and are a weight on the spirit. The
excitement, the preliminary hurry, the
the general nervOuSnesS-fOr even the play
erS who pass through the or1eal successful
ly are themselves nervous before the play
begins-alI these things have Il dispiriting,
benumbinS and depressing effect. Are this
depression and it's Oncomitan the results
of weakness of artistic character, or are
they due to a mOmentary confusion of the
artistic SensibilitieS which, in favorable cir
cumstances, prove the possession of a
higher type of artistic character? The play
er who, on a first night, may be rendered
inefficient by the peculiar influences of the
occasion may subsequently show the very
weakness must be accidental rather than a
characterized fault.

How to Make Chop suey.
New York Times.

w. Z. s. Fales, who for several years was
vice consul at Annoy. China, is a cook of
superexcellence. Said he: There is a
growing taste on the part of New Yorkers
for Chinese dishes. Chinese restaurants have
sprung up all over the city, and they are
well patronized. especially at night. The
dish mostly in demand is chow chop suey,
a most delicious concOction, If properly pre-
pared. For the benefit of those who do not
care to go TO a Chinese restaurant, let me
give the recipe, so that it can be made by
any intelligent housewife.
For four perSons-Two chickens livers,
two chickens giZZards, one pound young,
clean pork, cut into small pieces, half an
ounce OF green root ginger, two stalks of
celery. Sautee this in a frying pan over a
hot fire, adding four tablespoonfuls OF olive
oil. one tablespoonful of vinegar. half a
cup of boiling water, one teaspOonful OF
Worcestershire sauce, half a teaspoonful
of salt, black and red pepper TO taste. dash
of cloves and cinnamon. When nearly done
add small can of mushrooms, half a cup
OF either bean sprouts or French green
peas. or string beans chopped fine, or as
paragus tips. The See Yu sauce which is
eaten with this delectable dish can be pro-
cured at any Chinese grocery"
