GETS GOLD FOR HIS WORK,


w. c. B. Harrison, travelling deputy Of
the attorney generals Office. returned yes
terday from a two weeks trip through the
counties in the northwestern part of the
State. 81 have been up in the Kankakee
regions" he said last evening at the Eng
lish. land there's nothing up there but
water. About all that can be seen from
the trains are the top wires of the fences.
with here and there bare spot of ground
on the high places. 1 supposed the high
water had done lots of damage, but the
people seemed to be taking 1t very calm
ly. and 1 guess it is nothing unusual for
this time of year."
Mr. Harrison told a good story on G. B.
Lockhart, who was the travelling deputy
under Attorney General Taylor. Lock
hart has a fine farm down in Morgan
county" he said, land he has made terms
with his tenant that are certainly unique.
The farm is located right in the center
of the Morgan county gold field and the
tenant works for Lockhart until 5 o'clock
each day and then takes his pan and goes
over In the hills and washes out his day s
wages in gold. He gets all he can wash
out between o'clock and dark How's
that for a good business-ike arrangement?
I'll make a small bet that there isn't an
other farm in Indiana that can be rented
on such advantageous terms.

New York Letter.
Those who were out to study the fashions
were confused and bewildered. Judging
from the diversity in apparel. there will be
no distinctive style in anything this season.
Every conceivable kind of hat, with all the
colors of the rainbow, creations of the best
milliners of Paris and New York or of the
modiste Of New Jersey village. could be
seen. 1t was the same way with the gowns
and with the attire of the men. Some of
the latter wore gloves and some did not;
some had donned white waistcoats, some
brown, some violently spotted and some
black, while neckties were of all shapes
and hues. Not a few hats that look like
those in pictures of the year 1867 could be
observed. The new frock coat did not ap-
pear to differ from that seen a year ago.
In many instances il was no doubt the
same old coat. On the Riverside drive
the, attire of the paraders was more uni
form and doubtless more stylish, but even
observe any distinctive fashion.

At English's tomorrow afternoon and
evening Nixon & Zimmerman will present
Francis Wilson and large company of
comedians and singers in 1.-The Toreador,"
the London Gayety hit which scored
great success during its New York run at
the Knickerbocker Theater. The book of
this new operate comedy was lauded in
New York for it's clever construction, and
the music was pronounced the most bril-
liant and fascinating heard in a long time.
THE Toreador'' is the joint work of the
well-known English writer's James Tanner
and Harry Nichols. who wrote the book.
Adrian Ross and Percy Greenbank. who
wrote the lyrics, and Ivan Caryll and
Lionel Monckton, who composed the music.

The act of Will Hickey and Lillian Mel

ment not usual to acrobatic specialtes.
1t is really a burlesque on the old-time
''knockabout" act which was formerly so
popular in variety shows. 1t is so utterly
absurd and ridiculous that the audience
laughs in spite of itself. Hickey was for
several years in the circus business and
travelled with the Barnum & Bailey show
in Europe. Miss Nelson. who is really
Mrs. Hickey. is just as timber as Hickey
himself. and the two make up very good
team. The Grand is enjoying another week
of good houses. The season AT this popu-
lar amusement place is fast drawing to
close. and the patrons of vaudeville seem
TO be DESTROYS of getting their fill of this
kind of entertainment before the coming
of hot weather.

The lyon Yonson'' company did not ar
rive in Indianapolis until nearly O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon and the big audience
which had gathered at the Park for the
opening matinee performance of the popu-
lar old comedy drama was obliged to wait
until o'clock for the rising of the curtain
on the first act But the patient specta-
tors were we'll rewarded, for the play Was
given the best presentation that 1t has re-
ceived in this city since the days when
the late Gus Heege, the author OF the
piece and a capital character actor. APP
peared in the title role. There is every
reason why lyon Yonson" should continue
to be favorite attraction in the popular
priced theaters. Although built along the
than the majority Of plays of its class, and
there is genuine humor in many or Its
lines and situations. The piece mas Deen
seen here so many times that there Is no
occasion for a detailed description of it.
The role Of Yon Yonson. the swedish
emigrant. is in the hands of Nelse Erick-
son, who, being of swedish descent MINI
self, is letter perfect in the peculiar dialect
which the hero of the play uses throughout
the entertainment. Mr.. Erickson is good
comedian; he never overacts, but manages
to keep his audience laughing with his quiet
natural methods-not always an easy thing
to do when an actor is playing to popular
priced audiences" who only too often de-
mand horseplay as a creator of merriment.
The star is ably assisted in the comedy
scenes by Louise Henry as Jennie Morris.
a book agent, and Maude lie Page in the
character of sixteen-year-old boy. If all
feminine book agents were as pretty and as
graceful as Miss Henry they would have
little trouble in disposing of their wares.
Miss lie Page wears boys clothes becom-
ingly and introduces a singing and dancing
speciality that is worthy OF praise.
The other leading parts are well taken by
Clinton Maynard as Amos Jennings, mil
lionaire Florence Gear as Grace Jennings.
Harry b. Roche as John Holloway, and
Joseph King as Gerald Harcourt, an Eng
lish tourist. Mr.. Roche is not the explosive
william that the Park gallery is accus-
toned to seeing. but he gets in his villainy

marks him as heavy man." who is
above the average. The minor roles are all
in good hands. There is a quartet with
the company, made up of Henry Hubbard,
Clinton Maynard, A. Z. Engberg and sgd
new Craven, and the vocal numbers intro
duced by the little company of singers prove
very pleasing. lyon Yonson will continue
at the Park the rest of the week and Will
doubtless play to large audiences.
