ORPHAN CHILDREN 1T

Report of Board of Charities
Shows Increase in Number Cared
for by the State Last Year.

Reports made to the Board of State Char
tiles by the fOrty-six orphans homes in
the State supported wholly or in part by
public funds, show that on Oct 81 there
were in those institutions 1,527 children, a
decrease of twenty-eight from the popu-
lation on the same day of the preceding
year.
During the year LBS children were al
mtited 10 the homes, of whom SCI came in
for the first time and 301 were readmitted:
1,176 were withdrawn, Of whom 675 were
placed in family homes 337 were returned

Musical Farce mt the Park.

In George NJ. Cohans musical farce, THE
Governors Son." the Park has one of the
iolliest entertainments of its season-and
one of the best. The piece itself is not of
exceptional merit, as it is merely merry
hodge-podge of jokes, funny situations,
preting company is far better than the
average musical comedy organization to be
seen on the popular-price circuits. The
Park was crowded at matinee and evening
performances and no attraction has been
productive OF more laughter and applause
since the season opened.

OF the vaudeville sketch that was used for
two or three years by the -Four COhans

BurIesque at the Empire.

A chorus of pretty girls was the chief at
traction at the Empire yesterday afternoon
in the first performance for the week of the
High Rollers Burlesque Combination The
performance opens with a musical travesty,
which makes hit with the audience, the
only objection being the somewhat monot-
onous voice of Abbie Carlton and her SEEM
ing awkwardness in getting over the stage
when her part requires energetic action.
She leads the chorus throughout the entire
burlesque, but fails to score much OF d
hit. The three Lelliotts, musicians, made a
good impression yesterday, and were called
back time and again for repetitions of their
specialties The chorus, a whole, is an
exceptionally gOOd-lOoking one, and the
pretty costumes add greatly to the natural
attractions. Howe and Scott are good as
Hebrew impersonators, and sing a number
of parodies on popular songs which provoke
occasional laughter. The three Armstrong;,
trick bicyclists do some clever work on their
wheels, but there is nothing new nor start
ling in their act
The show concludes with burlesque en-
titled "A Night in New York" which is the
same as the one given last year. If Miss
Carlton would not insist upon holding the
center of the stage this afterpiece would
meet with more appreciation. The boxing
exhibitions of the chorus girls make UP the
leading feature of the burlesque. On the
whole, the show is as good as IL was last
season, but there are no new features
worthy of mention.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1904-01-12

the effort has been made, and not in vain,
TO bring the production above the usual
level of the attractions of its class seen
in the cheaper playhouses. The music is
also quite an advance over the customary
polyglOt of ragtime songs and auckland
wing melodies. There are no stars in the
company, as several of the characters of
the cast are equally prominent in the I'M
folding of the ridiculous plot-if plot il can
be called. John McVeigh plays the part
originally acted by George NJ. Cohan, the
author Of the piece, and although he is not
the wonderful dancer that Cohan is, he is a
much better singer and renders the comic
songs allotted him in way that wins many
encores. In fact. his rendition of the tOpi-
cal ditty, IF L Were Only Mister Morgan,
scored such an immense hit with the au-
dlences yesterday that he was compelled
to sing every verse he knew and then beg
10 be excused from singing any more.
Harry w. Lester, as a runaway husband
who DISCUSSES himself as a Dutch comedian,
Is one OF the best funmakers in the show
and his singing and dancing come in for
much of the applause. The other male
parts of Importance are skillfully handled
by Charles Pussey, Walter Chester, Peter
Curley and VIII Halliday.
Ruth Halbert, Hilda Hawthorne, Louise
Gould and Grace Hazard are at the head of
the feminine contingent and all are fairly
capable singers and very graceful dancers.
Miss Hawthorne's work is particularly
praiseworthy. this young woman being a
charming Coincidence. "The Governor s

MYSTERIOUS PERSON;
RESEMBLED KITCHENER
Nels Peter Hanson, Wealthy Re-
cluse, AsphyXiated in His Apart
mentS in New York.

NEW YORK, Jan. 11.-Nels Peter Hanson,
a rather mysterious character, has been
found dead from asphyxiat ton in a splendid
apartment which he has occupied in East
One Hundred and Fifth street during the
past year.
He is supposed to have accumulated for
tune in the klondike gold country and to
have a brother living in California, but
nothing certain is known outside of the fact
that he came here fourteen months ago
took apartments and later rented business
quarters for laundry. He put up a sign
and visited the place occasionally, but never
installed the machinery, and the place was
laundry in name only.
Hanson bore a striking resemblance to
Lord Kitchener, and pictures of the British
commander in India adorned the walls in
each room. On the dressing table was
found a splendid collection of valuable arti-
cles, including many diamonds and several
bank books showing large deposits. Scat
tered through the rooms also were valuable
pictures, ancient silverware and expensive
clothing. but nothing containing allusion to
the dead mans family.

The German Play at EngIish's.

The third of the series of Teutonic plays
being presented in this city under the
auspices of the newly organized German
Theater Society of Indianapolis. was en-
acted at English's last night before a large
audience made up of the representative
German residents of the Hoosier capital.
The Odeon Stock Company from St Louis
was again the visiting combination. this
company having made most favorable i'm
preston upon the occasion of its first visit
here about a month ago. when the bright
comedy, 1.-TWO Happy Days." was the at
traction. Last nights offering was another
play in the lighter Veln-a musical farce
entitled 'Pyritz-Kyritz," and it proved to
be the most amusing entertainment OF the
series, far.
This company of German players from
st. Louis commands admiration. Every
member Of the organization is a talented
and versatile artist. 1t appears to make
little difference to the company whether
the bill be a serious drama or a mirth-pro-
voking farce-it is presented in equally
meritorious fashion. The OdeOn organiza-
tion has become immensely popular among
the Germans of St Louis, and no wonder.
The two performances given in Indianapolis
by the company have been in every way
satisfactory. Last evening audience was
delighted, and the applause was frequent
and very enthusiastic. The many bright
and tuneful musical numbers made the
play aQdltlOnaly attractive, ana II Was
something of a surprise TO have the songs
and choruses so we'll rendered by players
who give most of their attention to purely
dramatic productions rather than 10 must
cal pieces.
"Pyritz- Kyritz" tells a laughable story
Of a number of complications brought
about by a few absurd mistakes that occur
at a wayside inn in Germany. a company
of good villagers from the town of Pyritz
is stopping at the hosiery and another
company of guests from the town of
Kyrtz is making its temporary headquar-
tiers at the same place The old farcial
expedient of mistaken identity is brought
into play, causing no end of trouble for
the characters and no end of fun for the
audience. Finally a rollcking young stu
dent, named Emil Thulte, who has been
largely instrumental i'm starting the con-
fusion manages to straighten matters out
satisfactorily, and everything comes to
happy ending.
The leading part-that of the student.
Emil-was portrayed in admirable style by
Fraulein Bergere, who wore her male gar
ments as becomingly as the English COM
edienne Vesta Tiley, could have worn
them Frau Welb-Martham gave a splendid
Interpretation of a good character part
and Richard Wirth was excellent as Peter
Iiekow. Rudolph Horskv. who played the
leading role in Two I.appy Days last
month at English's. had a small part in
the play last night but his handsome face,
fine stage presence and musical voice were
of benefit I'm the general result. All of the
smaller roles were acted in a thoroughly
intelligent manner.

AGAINST REMARRIAGE
OF DIVORCED PERSONS
Protestant Clergymen of Cleveland
Take Decided Stand
on Question.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 1.-THE City Min
listers Union, composed of a large number
of prominent Protestant clergymen, at it's
meeting to-day adopted resolutions against
the remarriage of divorced persons. Excep-
tion is made only in the case Of the innocent
party and divorce is permitted only on
scriptural grounds. The remarrage of per-
sons when divorce has been obtained on
other than scrptural grounds is declared
to be no marriage in the sight of God. Mar
riage is recognized to be not only a civil
contract but also a divine institution. The
remarriage of divorced persons to each
other will be permitted, no matter on what
ground the divorce was granted.
