Strange Cluster of Troubles.

The curious fashion in which certain
events or circumstances happen along in
groups. as the days go by, also adds vari-
ETY. and color to the shifting map of human
existence.
1T is certainly queer enough remarked

from remote funerals. First our butter

A Costly Gown.

Detroit Journal.
One of he\most beautiful gowns in the
world, worn by beautiful woman, will be
ton. The gown comes from France, and
is a $4,000 duplicate of the $4,000 corona
ton robe worn by the Empress Josephine
at the ceremonies attendant upon the
browning of the first Napoleon as Emperor
or France. The woman is to be a resident
OF the Louisiana purchase territory, and
resemble in face and figure much as pos
Sible the famous French woman. She has
not been chosen, and prize of $1,000 in
gold is offered for her appearance
The gown was until recently owned by
the descendants of Napoleon. 1t has been
pronounced by dressmakers in Paris the
most elaborate gown in the world, and has
never been shown in this country.
The gown is Of the heaviest and richest
velvet, bordered with ermine. studded with
golden bees, the symbol of the Napoleonic
dynasty. and set thick with jewels
During the Paris exposition this gown
was exhibited, and women fiocked to see
il by the thousands. To prevent it's being
copied women detectives were employed
to eject any one found making sketches
The costume is the achievement of Leroy,
of Paris, and of the no less famous Nine.
Raimbault, the court modiste Of France,
whom he called to his assistance. The
woman who wears it in the st. Louis expo
Sition Will need an attendant to carry the
train, as 1t reaches across the tiled floor
and weighs heavily upon the form of the
wearer.
The superb creation recalls the fact that
the great Corsican, appalled, when told that
this gown cost 100000 francs, violently
quarreled with Josephine because of her
extravaganza.

MeIodrama ut the Park.

"At the Old Cross Roads is one of the
best melodramas to be seen in the popular
price theatres and it Is always warmly
greeted. and deservedly so. when it comes
to the Park. 1t opened half-week's en-
gagement at that theatre yesterday and
played to large audiences afternoon and
evening. This play Is, In reality, new
edition of that familiar theme that was
toroon, In which Joseph Jefferson starred
long. long ago, and which also formed the
basis basis OF BARLEY Campbells play; The
White Slave" 1t tells Of the life and strug-
giles or Southern woman who, so far as
appearances go, is white. but who has the
.'one-eighth faint in her blood that binds
her to the negro race.
The story Is better than the average melo-
dramatic stage tale for the reason that its
author has shown genuine ability in con-
characters more true to life than is usually
the case. While IL is a play OF sensa tons
and climaxes, Ii has been we'll thought out
and has not been literally thrown together
in haphazard style The emotional Scenes
are we'll written, the comedy passages are
not without real humor and the play car
r1es certain amount of conviction with It,
Estha Williams, an actress who has re-
ceiVed good schooling, still plays the part of
the octoroon, Parepa, and continues to give
nne impersonation of the character. She
acts with force and feeling and her quiet
scenes of pathos and strong scenes of pas
sion are equally well done. The role of a
SQUARE BuInDlei, VINO I0ll0WS MS prOreS-
sion up and down the Mississippi river, is
again In the hands of James NJ. Brophy,
one OF the best leading men on the popular
priced circuits. Mr.. Brophy is a California
actor who is well thought of in San
Francisco that he occasionally plays long
engagements in that city as the star OF a
stock company. He has a splendid stage
presence, an unusually pleasing voice and
reads his lines with thorough understand
ing of the value.
Harry l.. Dunkinson carries most of the
comedy of the piece in the role of a tramp
who masquerades as French count, much
as Mark Twains old rogue masqueraded
as. The King" in 'Huckleberry Finn" Mr..
Dunkinson gets a good deal of fun out of
the part and keeps the audience laughing
much or the time William Brummell
makes an interesting villain in the character
of Dayton Thornton. the master OF plan
tation Mildred Hyland, as Annabel Thorn
ton, does pleasing work, Julia Blame is an
ideal odd nanny" in the part of Aunt
Eliza and Louise Valentine gives comical
performance of little negro girl, sort
of Topsy.
The stage settings are all quite handsome,
particularly the scene for the third act
representing the Cross Roads at moonlight.
The play will remain at the Park through
to-day and tomorrow and will doubtless
continue to attract large crowds.

Hostess's Unnecessary scrupIes.
Washington Post.

Washington Post.
A recent occurrence in a somewhat exclu-
sive circle of Washington society raises an
interesting question as to just how far a
hostess is liable for accidents which befall
the belongings of her guests. At a dinner
party not long ago a man servant was so
unfortunate as to spill glass OF wine on a
certain ladys new gown. The hostess of
the occasion, We'll call her Mrs A is a
woman or large means and of extreme good
breeding. The guest Mrs. b, hasn't a tenth
her income, and as to her breeding, L refuse
absolutely to commit myself. Mrs was
greatly distressed at the accident and
though she said no more at the time than
civility required, she felt that she was in
common decency bound to replace the gown
which her servant had ruined She hardly
knew how to approach the matter, for the
situation seemed to her somewhat delicate
but after a little consideration Of IL. she
made up her mind to ask Mrs Il TO order a
new gown from their common dressmaker
and charge il to Mrs AS account She
fancied she was about to arrange every
thing in the most tactful way possible but
Mrs. relieved her OF all trouble in the
matter. The day after the dinner she sent
her hostess a bill for the gown. without the
Mrs. A returned her check for the amount
and formally asked for receipt That was
the end of the matter. Doubtless Mrs
was perfectly justified in making the thing
a purely financial transaction, but | fancy
several months composed entirely of Sun
days will elapse before she dimes at Mrs AS
house again.

BurIesque at the Empire.

No excess baggage is carried with Joe
Oppenheimer's Fay Foster company that
opened a weeks engagement at the Empire
yesterday afternoon. Every person con-
nected with the company is clever, capable
and versatile, and even the chorus, which
is compel of a dozen pretty young women
plays a prominent part in the entertain
ment. Manager Oppenheimer offers a farce
comedy entitled THE Dancing Missionary"
and the show is without FIRST part olio
and tiresome burlesoue The farce is in
three acts and there is slight vein of a.
plot running through the piece. In a word
it is a story Of a beautiful young woman
who was engaged to a rich American being
abducted and carried to a cannibal island,
where she is installed as Queen Philip
Dayton, photographer. portrayed by Wal
ter Terry. and his assistant, Whitney
White, played we'll by G. w. Cunningham
the principal comedians of the cast, go to
the island, capture the Queen and take her
back home. The comedy is of a hilarious
sort.
Musical selections are interpolated
throughout the three acts and they are well
sung. Many specialties are also Introduced
during the course of the entertainment.
Mosher. Houghton and Mosher give one Of
the best trick bicycle acts that has ever
been witnessed in this city. They introduce
many new feats that ere marvellous. Law
renee Crane one OF the best card magicians
in the country, gives pleasing entertain
ment between the second and third acts
His tricks are all new and bewildering, and
while he depends upon palming entirely he
gives an act that is as pleasing as any en-
tertainment furnished by the more famous
conjurors. Terry, Elmer and company give
a very entertaining dancing speciality. The
Cosmopolitan Trio-Yule. Reno and ST.
monds-give their speciality in the third act
They are good singers, although one or two
of their selections did not please the Mon
day afternoon crowd. The Crawford sis
ters. very clever singers and dancers In
troduce their entertainment between the
hrst and second acts. Constance Window
a very engaging little soubrette, leads the
chorus i'm several songs. The company is
one of the best that has been at the En-
Dire.

brilliant reception at the new English
Hotel. The spacious reception hall, which
was used was hung with flags combined
with blue and buff, the society colors.
The appointments were characterized by
the colonial blue and buff and the floral

GERS of the Indianapolis chapter, Mrs
Charles Cross, regent; Mrs. Theresa Voss
Smith, vice regent; Miss Anna K. Adams,

urer, and Mrs Harry Condit, historian.
During the afternoon the Rev. j. Cum
ming Smith gave an interesting address on

lin band, composed of boys from the junior

SentatiOn OF a prize offered for the pest
essay on Indiana in the Revolution" was

The Vaudeville at the Grand.

Executing their military maneuvers with
lightning-hke rapidity and machine-like ex-
actness, the Hoosier Zouaves present an
exhibition at the Grand this week that
causes the spectators in the auditorium TO
thrill with pleasurable excitement and fin
ally to burst into enthusiastic plaudits.
They are wOnders-these seventeen Indian
apolis boys-and it is not surprising that
vaudeville audiences in other cities have
found their drill so interesting. Young
Captain kepner, who puts the lads through
their evOluuonS, carries out the double
quick drill originated by Captain Fox, that
Indianapolis military expert who knows all
there is to know when it comes to training
company of soldiers in fancy maneuvers.
The ZOuaveS give their programme with
out a break of any kind, and from the
moment they hustle across the stage in
their first military figure until they scale
a mimic rampant, in representation of
pursuit of the enemy Cor a busy retreat,
just as you choose to take IT'D they are
perfect little soldiers" as RUdyard Kip
ling would call 'em, because they fulfill
10 the letter just what has been mapped
out for them.
The act that is entitled to second honors
in the programme is that offered by Mon
sieur Taffary, a graceful Frenchman, with
a troupe of performing dogs. Animal acts
have not been plentiful at the Grand this
season. and this one of Taffarys is all
the more pleasing because IL comes as
novelty. His dogs-all OF them are French
poOdles-are about as clever as IL is pos
sible for canine actors to be. and they per
form their stunts as II they enjoyed the
work and without having TO be urged in
any way. One of the animals gives a
mathematical exhibition similar TO the one
given by another wise dog at the Grand
early in the season. but the Taffary dog
seems to know his figures better than
did his rival The act is entertaining from
beginning to end and will prove highly en-
joyable to children.
The rest of the programme cannot be
classed strong. although there are por-
lions of IL that are creditable. There are
three specialties in which piano playing
forms a leading feature. The best OF these
acts is that presented by Foster and Fos-
ter, who are musicians of some ability one
of them being quite at home at the key
board. while both have good voices Conley
and Klein, who call themselves the Dutch
man and the dancer" have dialogue that
is deadly i'm it's dullness, but their piano
playing and dancing saves the act from
failure. Rae and Brosche are on the bill
