Notes and Comment.

1t is a coincidence worthy of some note
that Mr.. and Mrs. +. III. Southern have
been booked to fill in all of next week at
Englishs. These two distinguished players
DO not act together and neither knew until
recently that they had been booked to ap-
pear in Indianapolis the same week. Vir-
ginia Harned-or Mrs. L. II. Southern as
she is known in private life-will come to
Englishs a week from tomorrow evening
for an engagement of two nights. She will
present Pinero's masterpiece, iris a. play
that was one of the most talked-about
York. Mr.. Sothern opens his local en-
gagement the night following the close of
his wife's engagement, beginning Wednes-
day evening a stay of four nights and
a Saturday matinee, during which he will
give for the first time here the new Nc

weeks of the present season.
Amelia Bingham, who appears at Eng

most unique position of any woman on the
American stage. She is her own manager;
she attends to all of her business trans
actions concerning the buying and pro-
ducing of new plays; she is her own stage
director, and she personally looks after
her bookings when she goes on a tour of
the country. Not since the days of Laura
Keene has there been an .actress-manager
clever enough to administrate and create

English's the last three nights of the week
with Saturday matinee, for Way Down
East" with its homely rural types, has
come to be considered the first drama or
its class now before the American public.
This play, which has been wonderfully
successful for over five years. has a record
that is truly remarkable from a statistical
standpoint. 1t is estimated that it has been
seen by over 100000 men, women and chill
dren. People who do not care for theatre
cal entertainments as a rule are to be
found in every audience witnessing a pre-
sentation Of this stage story. First and
last, ii is a moral playa play that breaches
a sermon. but az the same time its action
is full of heart interest and the drama APP
peals to all classes of people. Anna Moore's
simple story, her grief and anguish, her
spirited denunciation of the man who took
advantage of her innocence, her triumph
and the prospect of peace and happiness
for her as the final curtain falls-all OF
these elements go to make up pretty, I'M
affected and direct stage production. The
company to be seen here will be big ag-
gregation, which includes number of very
well-known people, and ii is promised that
the famous drama will be presented in the
same lavish style, as to scenic investiture,
that characterized its recent revival at the

The Grand-vaudeviIIe.

The bill prepared by the management of
the Grand for the entertainment OF it's
patrons this week promises TO be a vast
Improvement over the programme of the
week just closed. There will be several acts
among the list of specialties that have never
been seen in Indianapolis before and all
of them come with high recommendations
from other vaudeville houses Emily Lyt-
ton and W. H. Gerard will furnish the
principal feature of the programme with
sketch that is said TO be a superior one in
every way 1t is called 1.-The Ugly Duck"
and 1t is understood that the little piece
is novel as TO plot, bright in dialogue
and full of new stage business" and eff
fects. Miss Lytton and Mr.. Gerard carry
their own stage setting and all of their
properties. and they claim that their sketch
is one of the most expensive in vaudeville.
Second i'm Importance on the bill will be
the act of Everhardt the originator of
hoop-rolling. Everhardt is an Indiana man
and his career a professional juggler
began in Anderson. When he took up the
manipulation of hoops and discovered that
the most surprising feats could be accom-
plished with them. he discarded his old
Juggling speciality and gave a new and novel
act TO the vaudeville stage. He has several
followers in hoop-rolling acts. but Ever

The Empire was unfortunate last week in
having an attraction that was beneath crit
icism. Good burlesque will pay in Indian
apolis; poor burlesque will not. A burlesque
show that comes heralded as high class in
every respect will be this weeks attraction.
1t is the Cherry Blossoms company--a
combination that is under capable manage
ment and which numbers in its roster the
names of some clever performers. If the
show is as good as the st. Louis papers say
it is the Empire will make up for the poor
business of last week. Manager John Perry
says that he has given special attention to
the selection of a large number of pretty
chorus girls who can sing, and the burlettas
which open and close the entertainment will
be well supplied with musical numbers and
dances. In the vaudeville clio will be the

dams that will amuse with song and fool

The oldest and most abused American
play. Uncle Toms Cabin will be at the
Park for three days this week, opening its
engagement tomorrow afternoon. The
production is under the direction of AL w.
Martin who has been presenting the Old
story of slavery days at the Park for many
seasons, and he is said to DO more to pre-
serve the story as il came from the hands
of Harriet Beecher Stowe than any other
theatrical manager. His company num-
bers about fifty white players, and the YER
sion of the play which they use is said to
closely follow the fortunes OF Uncle Tom,
Simon Lagree, Topsy and others familiar
i'm the story of ante-bellum days. The
only time the play dverts from the famous
story is in a scene where the practices of
"voodoo" doctor and queen are presented
i'm which band of twenty negroes partici-
pate with the fervor and abandon which
marks their race. Ii Is scene not m the
original version of Uncle Toms Cabin
and its purpose is TO show the faith the
slaves of the South had in charms, in snake
worship, and in the powers of ''voodoo
doctor 10 heal or charm away all harm.
The production is about on the scale of a
circus. Thirty horses and ponies. six blood
hounds, donkeys and oxen are used. There
is a band of Southern negroes who dance
and sing as their ancestors did on the old
plantations. There are two brass bands,
a drum corps OF Creole women. log cabin
and other equipment to add realism TO the
picture of negro life in the South. The
! characters are impersonated by well-known
players. Frank Leo takes the part of
| Uncle Tom and Florence Ockerman that of
Topsy.
Joe Welch. familiar to Indianapolis peo-
| pie in the character of a German Hebrew.
| he having appeared here in vaudeville many
| times is coming to the Park the last half
| of the week, when he will appear here for
| the first time in new comedy drama, 1.-The
| Pedder." The play was written by Hal
| Reid for Mr.. Wech, and the production is
under the direction OF Sullivan, Harris &
Wood. In it Mr.. Welch appears as a Polish
| Jew Abraham Jacobson, a secondhand
| clothing dealer on the East Side of New
York, and he is said to have wider oppor-
! tunity than ever to show his talent a
character delineator. He impersonates an
honest, thrifty Jew, who has built up his
secondhand store by economy. The plot
| concerns his son Sammy, who, after MAX
| ing bountiful winnings on a race course,
| comes within the meshes of an adventures,
who lures him from home and leads him
along the road to ruin. The supporting
| company is said to be large and capable,
and the scenic equipment unusual. The
engagement will begin Thursday afternoon.

RELIANCE A WINNER
Splendid Sailing Qualities Of
the New Cup Yacht.
COLUMBIA GAINED ONLY ONCE.
Did Cup Defender Was In Hard Luck,
but New SKINNER Proved Faster
In FIuIxy ZeDhyrs or a
Steady Breeze.

NEW YORK, May 22.-By a combi-
nation of good luck and splendid sail
ing qualities the new cup yacht Reli-
ance yesterday inflicted such a defeat
upon the former cup defender Colum-
bia as she had never before suffered,
leading her over the finish line of Il
twenty-five mile course off Glen Cove
by fourteen minutes and forty three
seconds, official time.
Not all the glory of that rosy victory
was fairly earned by the new boat. If
it had been there would be no doubt
that the Reliance would be the next
cup defender But, despite the Colum-
bias i'll luck, the Reliance convincing
ly showed herself to be the better boat.
She had beaten the Columbia nearly
eight minutes in broad reach of elev-
en- miles in fluky zephyrs, beaten her
one minute and fifteen seconds running
free for three miles in a steady twelve
knot breeze and beaten her four min
utes and fifteen seconds in an eleven
mile thrash to windward close hauled
in fifteen knot Southwestern.
This time is unofficial and allows for
Reliance's fifty-five seconds advantage
at the start. When the Reliance cross
ed the finish line the Columbia was
miles astern and hopelessly beaten.
But the victory was not SO great as
the result might indicate. The Colum-
bias ill luck in fuky winds in the
three hours necessary to cover the first
eleven miles had contributed to her de-
feat That first leg was not fair test
of the merits of the two boats, but it
sufficed to develop surprising drifting
abilities in the Reliance, supposed here
tofore to be heavy weather boat.
The Columbia missed the favoring
zephyrs that had helped the Reliance
to beat her eight minutes in drift of
three hours in the first eleven miles
and in the windward work had been
hampered by an accident to her baby
jib topsail Only once in the whole race
did she gain on the new boat.
The race was an exasperating start
and flying finish. The course was tri-
angular eleven miles to the eastward
along the Long Island shore to Eaton's
point, three miles north northwest
across the sound to Green's Ledge light
and eleven miles southwest by west to
the finish line off Glen Cove.

Motor Car ExpIodes, Thirty

Motor Car ExplOdes; Thirty Hurt.
NEW YORK, May 22.-Unusually
spectacular and unfortunate was the
end of big red auto touring car which
exploded on Third avenue yesterday
afternoon. About thirty of the bystand-
ers were injured, eight of them being
taken to the Flower hospital suffering
from burns, cuts and bruises. The 81"
stairway was scorched, and a dozen
large panes of glass in the bank build
ing at the corner of the street were de-
molished. No arrests were made, and
the police made no effort to ascertain
the name of the man in charge of the
machine at the time of the accident.
At least twenty others, whose injuries
were less severe, were attended by
physicians. That almost all suffered
injuries only about the head and arms
was due to the fact that when the fire
men who had been called attempted to
throw water on the flaming machine
the crowd was pressing close about.
and the explosion which followed
threw pieces of brass and burning
wood, besides gasoline, in the air like
fountain.

my relations to the Jews and the

My relation to the Jews can only be
as that to brothers whom 1 love, not
because they are Jews, but because
they and everybody are the sons of
one Father-God. That love does me

Intense pity for the innocent victims
Of mob savagery, mingled with per-

gust for the so called educated people
who instigated the mob and sympa-
thized with its deeds. Above all,
was Mortified at the real culprit-name-
~, the government, with its foolish
fanatical priesthood and gang of rob-
Der officials.
'"The Kishineff crime was a conse-
quence of preaching lies and violence,
which the government carries on with
such stubborn energy The govern
ment's relation to the affair is new
proof of its rude egotism, hesitating at
no atrocity when it is a question of
crushing movements regarded as dan
gerous and is proof of it's complete
equanimity, which is like that of the
Turkish government toward the Arme-
nian massacres and most horrible
atrocities if only its interests remain
untouched"

ST PETERSBURG, May 22.-Interi-
or Minister Won Plehwe ascribes the
massacre of the Jews at Kishinen
largely to acts of self defense on the
part of the Jews and says:
"The events at Kishineff have
alarmed the Jewish portion of the pop
ulation in many regions of the empire
and have Occasioned rumors among the
Christians about intended Jewish per-
secutions. In some OF the cities the
Jews began forming self defense asso-
Citations. After l reported to the car
about the disorders his majesty COM
manded me to impress on the COM
manders in the provinces and towns
that they are obligated to and are held
personally responsible to take all the
necessary measures to prevent violence
and calm the populace in order to re-
move the occasion of fears for life and
property in any portion.
'In informing your excellency of the
monarch's will l feel obliged to sta te
for your guidance that no sort of asso-
Citations for self defense can be toler-
ated"
The Jews are not inclined to depend
solely on the police and have armed
themselves in spite of the circular
throughout the Jewish belt Undoubt-
edly their action prevented a repetition
of the massacres at Kiev, Odessa,
Minsk and elsewhere. The Minsk Jews
are so alarmed that the slightest out
break causes a general closing and bar
