Nothing Done Yet Toward Rebuilding

London Globe.
The party intrigues which have been Wig
orously carried on ever since the Campanile
fell by the supporters OF those who then
were turned out of office have once more
succeeded. First Commentators Boni, dis
couraged by the difficulties thrown in his
path, retired to carry on his more congenial
work among the excavations of the Forum;
and now Commentators Beltrami has fo!-
lowed his example. Against Signor Boni's
advice, the authorities left the great base
of the tower standing instead of unbuilding
it all down to the level of the pile-heads;
and they insisted that Signor Beltrami
should build the new Campanile upon this
old base. AS every stone and block of this
base is rounded and slippery and damaged
with age, there is absolutely nothing for
the new building to hold grip Of and it
would be impossible to bind them together.

Robert billiard and a strong supporting
company will head the vaudeville bill at
the Grand this week, appearing in a little
play called Number 973." Mr.. billiard oc-
cupies a high position in the dramatic
world. his work along legitimate lines in
the past having been widely commented
upon. He entered the field of vaudeville
about five years ago, and has been one of
the biggest drawing cards in that style of
entertainment ever since. His first success
was in "Editha's Burglar and after that
he played for two seasons dramatiZation
of Richard Harding Davis's 1.-The Littlest
Girl" in which he was seen at the Grand
the year before last. He brings this time

an escaped convict and child who acts
as his companion. He will be supported by
Mr. Holland. the joint author of the piece
little June FELTON,. Fred Maxwell and Frank

Next in Importance the programme
will be Max Walden, a European trans

prove great novelty He has never been
seen in indianapolis. Mr.. and Mrs. Watrous
the vOcalists have always been great favor
ties with Grand patrons and they will be
popular contributors to the entertainment.
The three musical Westons-Sam. Lizzie
and M6bel-are well-knOwn vaudeville per-
formers. Sam Weston is the father of the
two girls, is blind. but manages so skillfully
while on the stage that his audience is sell
dom aware of this. The trio plays banjos
comets. mandOlins and violins and furnishes
a high-class act of its kind. The Brownngs
will be seen for the first time here in a
