"BEN-HUR" NEXT FALL
To BE AT ENGLIsH's OPERA HOUSE
FOR THREE WEEKS.
Necessary Enlargement OF the Stage to
BE Made in the Summer-Other
Changes I'm

The spectacular stage production of Gen.
Lew Wallace's romance. 'Ben-Hur," will
be presented at English's opera House for
three weeks next fall. 1t probably will be
the first entertainment of the season of
~1sO2-19oS at that playhouse. The machinery
of the show is too bulky for the stage of
English's as it is now, and next summer
changes win be made in the structure. The
distance between the Orders on either side
of the stage is forty-1ve feet. and this will
be increased 10 fifty feet. A new floor will
be put in the stage also.
A great deal more work is to be done in
the theater during the summer. A new
drop curtain will be hung and the audi
forum will be redecorated. The room that
is now Manager Miller's office will be en-
larged and converted into a checkroom.
The office will be in the present checkroom.
General Wallace said in an interview
in the Journal a few days ago that he was
satisfied" with the royalties from Ben
Hur." By next New Years day no doubt
he will be Every well satisfied" Arrange
ments are now being made for productions
Of the play in Australia and London and
on the continent. OF course the American
production will continue to contribute to
the authors income. The producing man
ayers Of the play are klaw & Erlanger,
who are the booking agents for the theat-
rical syndicate. 1t has been said that the
Blacherne apartment house was built with
profits from 'Ben-Hur" as a novel The
demand for apartment houses in this city
is very heavy, but 1t is probable General
Wallace will be able to go far toward salts
flying it with his profits from "Ben-Hur'
as a play if he wishes 10 invest them in
that sort of property.

SIMILARITY IN SCHOOL NAMES.
1t Causes Girls Industrial school
annoyance

Mrs. Frank A. Blanchard, in charge of
the Girls Industrial School. which meets
every Saturday afternoon in Tomlinson
Hall, says she feels called upon to make
a strong protest against the manner in
which the organization she represents is
confounded with the Industrial School for
Girls. a State penal institution, owing to
a similarity in name.
1.-The school l represent" said Mrs.
Blanchard. lis for the education of little
girls between the ages of six and twelve
years. We have a corps Of teachers who
look after the little ones and teach them
TO sew and do other work pertaining to
the home. The other institution, while it
is commendable, is run by the State as a
reformatory for wicked girls. Oftentimes
short-sighted persons mistake our school
for the other, because so often in allud-
ing to the penal institution the wrong name
is used"
Mrs. Blanchard says that frequently mail
addressed to her as manage OF the Girls
Industrial School has been sent TO the
other Institution. She wants to impress on
the people TO remember the title of her
school,.

MORE STEEL SAWS.
Six Found in the Possession OF Eman-
ueI nne COIored.

Emanuel Kennedy, colored, who was sent
to the Workhouss several weeks ago on q
charge of larceny, was released yesterday,
but re-arrested before he got outside the
building. He is now wanted on a warrant
charging the theft Of lard.
Last night while the gamblers were be-
ing slated one of the prisoners called for
an officer. Micycle Policeman STREET. an
swered him. The prisoner told him Ken
nedy had in his possession a half dozen
steel saws. Kennedy was taken out and
searched and the six saws were found on
him. He claimed TO have found them in
the cell-room. The officers were unable TO
learn whether or not he had found them
there or whether he had brought them
in with him, or they had been given TO
him by friends who called during the day
to talk with him. The saws were of the
kind which could have been used in the
frame which was dropped by Joe Fer
ritter, who attempted TO give Stephen Burns
tools with which he might have escaped.
The saws were, however, of the kind which
may be used with strings fastened 70 each
end and without metal frames.

dent John Fahey, of the anthracite district,
is remaining in the city until the DOard

The establishment OF five scale districts,
as recommended by Vice PRESIDENT Lewis,
is another important matter, as IL means
an attempt to bring about additional JOINT
conferences similar 10 the one that has just

HOTEL LOBBY GLEANINGS
INDIANA LUMBERMEN,S EXCURSION
RETURNS TO THE CITY.
Members of the Party Give Their I'm
pressiOns of Cuba-VisitOrs
mt the Hotels.

The excursion party which left Indian
apolis for Cuba two weeks ago, returned
yesterday afternoon a few hours earlier
than was intended. The train was sched-
uled to arrive over the Pennsylvania rail-
road about 10 o'clock last night, but in
stead arrived about 2 O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. The excursion was under the
auspices of the association of retail lum-
bermen of the State. 1t was intended to
stop for several hours in Knoxville, Tenn,
on the return trip. but this plan was aban-
doned and no extensive stop was made
there. 1t was due to this fact that the party
arrived here earlier than usual. Some of
the men of the party were about the hotels
yesterday relating their impressions of
Cuba and the Cubans. 1t seems that a good
many of the party were not used to ocean
voyages and going over to Havana nearly
80 per cent. of the passengers suffered from
s~easickness.
did you nave any doctors in the party?"
someone asked Secretary Whitman at the
Grand yesterday afternoon.
yes" he. replied. 1--WE had DR.. Long and
DR.. Currier, of indianapolis. but both of
them were pretty busy with their own at
fairs-they were both seasick."
Going over the party had rather a rough
voyage from Key West to Havana. They
remained about three days and a half in
Cuba and a day and a half at the Charles
ton Exposition. c. A. Wallingford, OF this
city, who with his wife and son accom-
panied the party, said yesterday evening
that the trip was delightful. The Wal
lingfords were introduced to Sylvester SEQ
vel and wife, who live in Havana, and
were shown a good deal of attention by
them. Scovel was the newspaper CORE
%spondent who, it is alleged, slapped Gen.
eral Shafter, who was in of the
American forces in Cuba during the war.
Scovel is now engaged in the automobile
business in Havana.
THE question of anneXing Cuba to the
United States" said Mr.. Wallingford "does
not seem to be considered in Cuba. The
Cubans seem to take IL for granted that
they are to manage their own govern
ment, but what they want most now is
on sugar. One doesn't see many smiling
faces among the Cubans. They have suf-
fered terribly and are bound to show
traces of it. There are few wealthy Cubans
on the island now as their fortunes have
been expended on account of the troubles
they have passed through"
In talks he had with army officials Mr..
Wallingford learned that the military forces
do not think the Cubans are yet prepared
TO govern themselves. One man told him
that there had been threats that President
Palma would be assassinated within a
week after he became the head of the
Cuban government. Mr.. Wallingford said

eter was lowering in the neighborhood
of zero in Indianapolis. the women OF the
party were bathing on the coast of Florida.
