AMUSEMENTS.

Grand Chevalier.Please Mr. Chevalier, won't you come back

again? Select your own happy time, only coined,bring-- "LoUa" with you; also your "Old Dutch,"and the "Little Nipper," not forget-ting: the "Coster Serenade." Tou're & reg-ular top-notch- er," you are. Every one saidas much after seeing and hearing you at theGrand last night. It would not be long until youwould have suet: a warm place in the hearts ofIndianapolis people that your pictures would behanging alongside of those of James "Whit combRiley In the store windows, and that's no fiction.,This reference to Riley In connection withChevalier is not malapropos, as the essayists loveto remark. There was a mellow sympathyaroused even in Chevaliera broadest coster songsthat suggested the subtle methods of the IlooslerIdol; a sort of Riley set to music. Thoee who hadnot thought of the comparison early in the en-

tertainment, when Chevalier wore his coster cos-

tumes decorated with rows of buttons, saw thesimilarity at once when he gave the "Old Baxar"cumber. In fact, the resemblance was so strikingthat, as the English curate doing his song andmonologue. Chevalier might have been mistakenfor a brother of the Iloosler poet. Those fewwho were familiar with Riley's earlier stagework In "The Old Chimney Corner" piece, alsorecalled his gentle and convincing pathos effectswhile Chevalier gave the "Tick Tock" song. Itwas In these more legitimate comedy numbers,whre Chevalier rather intoned than sang hissor.g. that the entertainer snuggled clone to thehearts of every one and was called again andrain to come forth and bow his smiling thanks.The people took Chevalier at the rating of hi.flattering advance notices and packed the the-

ater. For once they were not disappointed. Thefirst number was his hackneyed "The FutureMrs. 'Awklns." which has been on the vaudevilleprogrammes for three seasons in this country,fndiffcrently rendered by would-b-e imitators from

soubrettes in skirts to Calway-face- d comedians.It could not Le known hre how foully the songhad been murdered until the author's own inim-itable version had been heard. In addition to hisunique talent Chevalier brings with him the mag-netism which teems to go always with the realtheatrical star, and the audience was his fromthe moment he dashed on the stage like a costerchasing a strvet rut. and. suddenly changing hismind, stopped to tell about his courting. Thewooing of 'Loiza" was so satisfactory that thencame a clamor for further development, and hresponded with "The Nasty War lie tfays It."Those who had predicted that Indianapolis wouldnot be able to appreciate the coster characterfelt a decided choking sensation in their cynicalthroats. They forgot to creak, and no doubtJoind in the unrestrained applause. Not a broadcoster grimace. Jerky resture nor a tingle bow-legge- d

dance step failed to be properly taken. Itwas unmistakably plain that the entertainer wasan artist fixin his hob-nail- ed shoes to the haircn his head. Those who sat near enough to ob-serve his marvelously rapid and varying facialexpressions enjoyed one of the beet features ofhis art. thst was lens apparent further from thestage. The half-cryin- g tone of his strangely- -

. leading voice rang in cne'a ears like the plaint-r- ewall of some rudely constructed barbarianmusical Instrument. Following his last song.

Our Court Hall." where he introduced a highlyentertaining pantomimic interlude, there was acontinuous demand for an encore, and Chevalieroffered to respond if the people would Indicatewhat they wanted out of his repertory of twenty-thre- enumbers. Instantly there were cries for"Wot Cher." "Old Dutch." and a few who knewof the tender pathos of "The Little Xtpper" and

the-- "Cotfr Serenade." asked for them, but theWot Cher" crowd was certainly in the map0rlt7,and. with a rapid change to hi "Knocked 'EmIn the Old Kent Road" costume. Chevallei gavea happy-fco-luck- y rendering of this, one of hisoldest and most popular songs. It was raptur-ously received and his appearance in this citywill be one of the pleasant memories of theatergoers this season.

In the olio of vaudeville performers assistingChtvaller there were several who made distincthits, and ether whose English "turns" were nomore stirring than a parlor concert. Cyrus Dare'smusical monologue, consisting in imitations cf asmart child sonstrss, was Instantly pooular.Magician IJertram also pleased the audience In aprogramme of both o'd end new tricks, but itwas too lon. The tv.Mn sisters Abbott couldn'tsing "My Gal' A High liorn Ldy" for a min-ute with many who are giving the song atcheaper theaters.

PRAISE FROM 'IAN MflCLflREN'

The Ilrttlnh Itovell'nt Flensed with IliaExperience in America.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16.-A- mong the pas-sengers on the steamer Majestic, whichsailed for Liverpool to-da- y, were Rev. Dr.John Watson (Ian MacLaren) and the Mar-quis and Marquise Di Vitl Marco, the lat-ter of whom was formerly Miss Dunham.Andrew Carnegie took Dr. Watson to thedock In his carriage. The novelist said hehad no Immediate plana for the future.He would say nothing about his call tosucceed Dr. Pentecost, because he had noofficial intimation of it. He was not cer-tain if he would visit America again In ayear or two. While he would not publisha book on his Impressions of this country.,he said it was likely' that he would writesketches on points that interested him forpublications here and abroad.

Of his ten weeks' stay in this countryand the Impressions It has made upon him,he said: "1 return to England with a pro-found sense of the kindness and Intelli-gence of the American people. I have foundin your country in every section a livelyconcern in and a sincere appreciation ofart and literature. 1 observed this no lessstrongly In the West than in the East, inChicago as well as In Boston. And par-ticularly I was struck with the pprightll-nes-s

and vivacity of American women. Ifound one matter which surprised methat was the courtesy of your officials.On the railroads, on the tram cars I meanthe tiolley and tho cable and in yourstreets, I encountered only polite treat-ment."

According to Major Pond. Dr. Watsonhas proved the most successful lecturerthat has ever visited this country. Thefinancial returns for the ten weeks arelarger, even. In proration to the time,than in the ciso of Stanley, who stayedlonger, however, and who took $110,000 backto England.

Frnturrit of the Drum 111 em Fnlr.NEW YORK. Di?c. !6.- -In spite 'of', the

storm thousands of people attended thecommercial travelers fair, at Madlpn--

Another LnrRe Crowd Was In A-ttendance Last Meht.

St. Vincent's fair grows In popularity.There were times last night when the mainfloor of Tomlinson Hall was crowded al-

most uncomfortably, but none of the hun-dreds who cams and went seemed to minda little jostling. That every body was hav-ing a good time was proved by the buzzcf gay conversation and spontaneous laugh-ter that were at times loud enough to al-

most distract the busy reception commit-tee. Last night was the special eveningset apart to the Knights of Father Mathewand the Knights of St. John. Young men Inblack military uniforms swarmed throughthe hall, chatted with the pretty girls, .tookchances on dolls and things and thoroughlyenjoyed themselves. The balconies wereclosed last night and were deserted, saveby the musicians of the orchestra.

Several new features have been added tothe fair, not the least interesting of whichis a palmistry booth, where a young ladywho Is an enthusiastic amateur in the artof reading character in hands was sur-rounded by persons eager for "readings."The palmistry booth is In a snug corner,near Lady Bountiful's stronghold. A passer-by paused long enough to hear her say:

"You're not --thoughtful, but jump at con-clusions. You are a little telfish whereyour personal comfort Is concerned, thoughyou spend your money freely. You areimpressionable and have a fondness forthe girls"

A snigger of assent interrupted her for amoment.

"You'll make a head mistake some timein your career. Now let mo see your mar-riage lie. Ah. there it is, you'll be mar-ried once and have a happy domestic life."

As the reporter sauntered away he heardthe young teeress predicting that the luckychap before her would die a wealthy man.A moment later he joined the passer-b-y anddeclared that it was all really wonderful.

"She hit me off at every point," said he."I-.wis- though, that I had some of thatwealth she predicts for me now. Oh. herecomes another girl with chances; bet it'sanother doll." He lost. The chance wason an onyx table and cost him a quarter.

Another new feature Is the ballot black-board, where bets at 10 cents each are re-corded for the most popular pastor of thedifferent churches. All day yesterday thevoting was lively. A gold-head- ed cane isto be presented to the one receiving thelargest vote.

Much attention was given to tho variousbooths. The articles offered in the artbooth, furniture booth, fancy booth, and,in fact, all of them, are really handsomeand tasteful. Not a little attention is givento tho doll booth, and at all times in theevening crowd3 were buying flowers at thebig yellow and black padoa in the centerof the hall. Chairman McMorrow said lastnight that, the receipts have been very en-couraging. At dinner yesterday three hun-dred guests were served. The noon-da- y

n.eals are very popular.Beginning at 3 o'clock Saturday after-

noon, tho hall is to be turned over to thochildren. There is to be an entertainmentby the pupils of St. John's Academy, fol-lowed by dancing for the children. Thisevening the Young Men's Institute will bethe lions of the hour.

ALLEGED B00DLERS.

Aldermen Who Live In Style vrltta !VoYUlble Mean Except 500 a Year.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Dec. 16. Thgrand Jury to-da-y began the Investigationof the municipal scandals. Judge Pond de-

livered a severe charge to the Jury, lawhich ho called attention to the well-defin- ed

stories of boodling In the Council thatwere current and to the fact that certainaldermen who had no visible income be-

yond their $500 annual salaries were yetable to live In great style and spendmoney freely. Reference was a!o made toscandals in contract-lettin- g In other munic-ipal boards. The evidence In the posses-sion of those behind the investigation isclosely guarded, lit it Is understood to becomplete and conclusive In a number ofcases. No news has been received of CityClerk Haney. although telegraphic ordersfor his arrest were tent to all points onthe Mexican border, but it is believed thatho has not gone to Mexico at all, but toFlorida or seme gulf port, whence he maysail for Central America. No great hopeaof his apprehension are entertained, al-

though his friends assert that he will atonce return and stand trial when he learnof the charges against him.

The Journal declares this afternoon thatevidence of corruption In nsphalt pavingcontracts has been unearthed, and that onof the two companies which divided thecontracts paid the aldermanlc combine 15

cents for every yard of pavement laiJ. Itadds that 10 per cent, of a recent waterpipe contract, amounting to J3S.O0O, waapaid to the gang. Evidence of this wasgiven the grand Jury this afternoon.

AL DUTY'S PITIFUL CONDITION.

Taken to the IolIce Station by IllsFormer Comrades.

A year ago Patrolman Al Duty was thebrawniest officer on the force, and, as hewas wagon man, ho often forced unrulyprisoners into the cell when they resisted.Last night' the Irony of fate was demon-strated when Officers Gerber and Ficklelocked Duty up at the police station, aprisoner for loitering. For over a yearDuty's mind has been deranged, and hewas discharged from the police force. Hehas been doing little since then. His par-ents live in Shelbyville. - Monday Duty wentinto the undertaking establishment ofDavid Kregelo and ordered a coffin for AlDuty. Mr. Kregelo knew him and was sur-prised at the order. "I am not Al Duty,"said the deranged man, "I'm John Duty.Al died several years ago near Shelbyville,and my mother and Al will be over to-night to see you about taking charge ofAl'a funeral."

Mr. Kregelo at once saw that Duty wasunbalanced and humored him, saying hewould be ready to receive the mother andAl wheri they came, and Duty left theplace. Last night at 11:30 o'clock the twoofficers found him wandering aimlesslyaround. He told them he was a railroadbrakeman ?.id then talked incoherently.The two officers were former friends ofDuty, and knowing of his condition lockedhim up out of pity, in order, that he mightnot come to harm durinjr the night. Thecharge was placed against him that hemight becletained if he tried to leave theHtation during the night. He was not putin the cell room, but was locked in the bigroom known as the "bum room," where hethrew himself on the floor and slept.

TORE CLEVELAND'S PICTURE.

Club Xanird Alter the PresidentAffaln Dls&rrncea Itself.

The animosity of certain members of theCleveland Club toward the former patronsaint of the club, Grover Cleveland, seemsto Increase rather than diminish, now thatthe fires of passion kindled In some di-

rections during the last campaign seem todie out. Last night an incident even moredisgraceful than that which occurred atTomlinson Hall, when the banner of theclub bearing Cleveland's picture wasturned to the wall, happened. Edwin Bt.George Kogers made a liery speech at theclubrooms in the presence cf a good turn-out of the club. He was more than everbitter in denouncing Cleveland, and,spurred on by Kosers the members of theclub rushed to a side wall where a pictureof the President was hanging, tore it fromIts fastenings and utterly demolished it.They danced about the broken and tornfragments of the picture like a band of In-dians and seemed to gloat in the work ofdestruction.

It will, be remembered that during thelast campaign a wild' demonstration ofhatred and contempt toward Cleveland wasmade when the banner of the ClevelandClub was carried to the stage of TomlinsonHall. To still the tumult the President'sface was turned to the wall. Later theportrait was removed from the banner andthe characters "lS-to-- l" were substituted.
