sary, Who Declines.

siderable excitement for woman on West
Michigan street yesterday. and was the
direct cause OF DR.. Jones, of the Dispensary,
receiving a fiattering offer to become a
detective.
The McGregor pilots a grocery wagon
around the streets, and delivers groceries to
the woman's home. Noticing a rash on
the young mans face, and hearing of DR..
Jones's presence in the neighborhood, the
woman went TO him. She had a business
proposition to make, and she was not back
ward about it. Offering So to the doctor as
an inducement for him To change his pro-
fession, she said she wanted him to search
the town OF Cerealinetown, where this par
ticular Representative of the clan lives. 10

and see IL he did not have smallpox.

STARTED THEIR BUSINESS
LIFE WITH FIVE CENTS
Bertermann Brothers Give BANQUET
to Employees on Anniversary of
Firms Origin.

Twenty-Five years ago John and William
Bertermann, of the firm now known as
Bertermann Brothers, started in business
together with cents as available capital
but with large amount of native thrift.
Both the brothers had been flower growers
in Germany, and it occurred to them that
the industry might be proftably conducted
in Indianapolis, and their business was
started by purchasing on credit the floral
department of what was then the general
store Of Chris SChrader John at that time
had cents in his pocket and William had
stored away somewhere, unknown to any
body except himself, Sl1.
Yesterday the Bertermann brothers cele-
brated the twenty-ffth anniversary of their
business career with a silver jubilee at the
Mannerchor by giving a dinner TO their
twenty-five employees, some of whom had
been with the firm for twenty years.

William b. Gray, who belongs to the
formidable army of popular song writer's
that infests New York, once wrote senti-
mental descriptive song called 1.-The Volun-
teer Organist." He introduced his compo-
sition on the vaudeville stage as a stereop-
ticon ballad, having it illustrated with
handsome views showing various incidents
in the story of the piece and finding that
the vaudeville audiences wept over the
thing, he proceeded TO dramatic it and
offer IL as a fOur-act melodrama. 1t was
perhaps the first time on record that a
popular song had ever been stretched out
into play: Gray was far-seeing. He
knew that If an audience became
fearful over a mere song. it would weep
copiously over a drama dealing with the
same subject. And when audience
weepS the plays a success. Everybody
knows that the patrons of the popular
price theaters would rather weep than

nave their emotions stirred UP, and they
are not disappointed in this production.
The play deals with the liquor question in
a small New England town and shows
both sides of the argument that causes

and the equal amount of harm done by
narrow minded people who seek to con-
denim forever all fellow beings that take an
occasional drink. 1t is not a bad sort of
play of its kind and those who have ex-
amined Gray's songs will find reason to
hope that he will hereafter stick TO play
writing and give up musical composition.
The interpreting company is quite equal
TO all requirements. George H Nichols

The German Players i'm 'Fedora."
A good-sized audience of representative
indianapolis Germans witnessed the pre-
sentation at Englshs last night of Sardou's
Fedora by the stock company of Teutonic
players from Cincinnati, the event being
the fifth performance in the series of plays
under the auspices Of the German Theater
Society Heretofore the plays presented
have been comedies, and last evenings at
traction afforded the first opportunity to
see the excellent Cincinnati organization in
a serious production. Fedora is one of
the strongest of Sardou's romantic dramas
and its German translation by Paul Lindau
preserves all of the original force of the
interesting stage story. The audience was
extremely attentive and apparently much
impressed with the Interpretation given the
play.
Fedora" which was specially written for
Sarah Bernhardt, Is a zone part play and
depends altogether upon the ability OF
star actress for success. Fraulein Clairette
Clair, who has not been prominent in the
earlier performances or the Cincinnati
company at Englishs, came TO the front
last night with surprisingly fine portrayal
OF the heroine made famous by the greatest
actress of France. When Fraulein Clair
read the lines of the prologue in the per-
Torrance OF "Alt Heidelberg three months
ago her attractive bearing. musical voice
and unusual Evolutionary power were COM
mented upon, but few of her auditors
realized what an actress she really was.
Her rendering of the passionate Fedora
was the best piece OF acting that has been
seen during the present series of German
performances. A well-equipped emotional
actress, she found the part splendidly
suited to her and brought out all of the
force that dominates the character.
The story of Fedora" has 10 do with
a Russian countess, who, in seeking to re-
venGe herself upon the man who she be-
lieves TO be her lovers murderer, falls
deeply in love with him whom she has
sworn TO bring to justice. In the scene
when Countess Fedora learns or her lovers
untimely death, FTaulein Clair gave evil
dence of her emotional ability, and at the
climax of the play, when the unhappy
countess is driven to suicide after causing
the ruin of the man she has learned to
love, she rose to fine dramatic heights and
won deserved applause. The leading male
character, Boris SpanOff, was acted in eX-
other principal characters were we'll ployed
by Adolph Heine, Alfred KOrowitz, Fritz
Hamboct, Elsa Corty, Marie Szwirschina
Bertha Lucto, Heinrich Reeb and Clemens
Bauer. The play was adequately staged
and handsomely cOstumed, and the per-
Torrance was in every other way sue
ceSSful.

Theatrical Notes.

Augustus Thomas, whose clever comedy.
1.-The Earl OF Pawtucket," was so much en-
joyed by local theatergoers the first half of
the week, has another pronounced success
in his new play, THE Other Girl" which
is being acted in New York before large
and delighted audiences Manager Charles
FrOhman is said to be thinking seriously
of moving this piece over to London when
it's New York engagement is finished. The
only doubt he entertains as to its success
in London has to do with the local color
of the comedy. It is a typical New York
play as il now stands, and much of its best
effects are likely 10 be lost on London
audience. And yet typical London play,
from Blankley's," can score great sue
cess before American audiences. This goes
TO show that Americans are broader in their
views than the English

Exceedingly quaint are the dishes in the
Yorkshire ware, an attractive imitation Of
the Countess OF Wemyss ware. The ware
is clear white with big blossoms or fruit
for decoration, and the prim, plain shapes
are exceptionally attractive. An odd-shaped
holder for cracked ice at a little over two
dollars is the highest priced bit and the
lowest is a small, shallow bowl which Is

The beautiful Coalport ware is shown in
a new design which is its most attractive
decoration to many people-the dragon de-
sign. The dragons are all delightfully."- curly
whether they dsport themselves on plates,

of dishes are shown in the dragon designs,

of accordion plated silk or chiffon for the

Some novelties in the neck scarfs of chif-
fon and thin silk which have been so much
favored this year are shown. One scarf of
bayadere stripes in rich colors is edged
about with soft feather ruching which,
when the scarf is caught about the neck
forms fluffy ruff. Another in pale blues
and greens has fringe Of Topped chenille
cords. The chiffon and grenadine scarfs of
plain edges and exquisite colorings remain
part of the neckwear displays, and will
probably be even more popular with the
new spring frocks than with the heavier
winter garments.
