Tennessee's Pardner" hrt no resem blane to the charming ftory of that name written try Bret liarte, except la the name. It Is a Western play, but un like root Vetern plays, the plot is a possibility. There Is no shooting, atab blrq? and dragging of: dead men. and burning of cabins, with whoops of Indian.

It Is a play that appeals to the gentler passions; It Is a love story. Hill Kent went to Sand Hill. and engaged In mining. In Tennessee he left a little daughter, an'd his dying request was that she be kept In ignorance of his death until she reached a certain age. Swan and Bice agreed7 to this, and for two years wrote her letters regularly, sending her money as If the letters came from her father.

Barlow forgot to mall one of the letters, and the girl, after waiting for two weeks to hear from her father, came'to Sand Hill. Swan was a gambler, but "high toned and legitimate," with the gentleneaa of Jim Hamlin and the faithfulness of John In the second act it devolves on 8wan to tell Tenne, the daughter, of fne death of her father. At the Swan confesses his love for her, a love that he had in his heart since the day she sent her father her picture. TEe story is prettily tojd and when Swan presses the girl to his heart and asks that he may tCall her hts "little pard." and she with her face hidden on his shoulder, moaned the death of ber "daddy," women in the audience sobbed and tears streamed down the cheeks of men whose eyes had not been wet for many a day. There is considerable humor In the play.

The Gewhilllker Hay of Percy Plunkett fs a fine piece of comedy work. He lies magnificently, and when in the absence of his shrew: of a wife he asserts his Independence, bis bombast is laughable. In her presence his cringing humility is excruciatingly funny. The entire com pany is above th average, and where ail are so good it is hard to bestow more praise upon one than the other. The dialect of Jane Corcoran as Tenne would be recognized by any one who had ever talked with a mountaineer of Tennessee.

She portrays what the author Intended, a plain, little country girl. James M. Brophy as Swan, the gambler, and Walter Ryder as Asa Bice, his partner, are exceptionally good. Estha Williams as Nettle Bice, the confidence woman, shows great capabilities as an actress. Annie Mortimer as Mrs.

Hay brings out all there is In the part. The Golden Nugget quartet, in their serer nades to the bride furnishes some very fine music and hew scngs. The play will be given every afternoon and evening this week and those who fail to see it will miss the' best play that has been klven at the Park for many years. Tie thaaahin of Paradise Alley."

Pretest Agwlaer Harry with Creo sotetl Blaek aad a Plea for Care. To tbe Editor of The Indianapolis News: Sir It seems to me' that there Is something unusual In this sudden "push" which is being made on account, of this new kind of a wood pavement.

It is strange that the citizens of this dty should happen to be sending Inpetitlons for creosote block streetssrtren not one of these hew Und crhlock streets has been down longenough yet to let any one know whether it is good, or bad or any better than Meridian street was for. the first year. They say that creosote keeps the blocks from rotting. Every one that has examined know that rotting is not. the trouble with Wok tfeets.

if this wss the trotibhvtnenwby Is if that the bloc sireets sre always best in ruttersjBhere there Is. the most liability rdttlng? It must not be forgotten that Meridian, street is onei of the most used streets Jn this town, nor that all the streets that have been put down with new fangied blocks are streets that are not much used, with the exception of North' Illinois, street; and that not a great deaL I noticed i last fall that Illinois street even was beginning to show wear In the places' where the horses traveled. So far it is not making any better showing than Meridian street did at the start. notice that the blocks In Meridian street are all right at the places where tEer other streets cross, although there naturally, more wear at these Perhaps that is because tbe blocks are set diagonally at these points only, and may be that the creosote block streets will be better streets for the same reason, bcause: In them the whole street Is set. This may have more to do with the quality of the wear than the creosote has.

It seems strange, also, that the dty officials should suddenly discover that creosote block ought to be laid around the police station on account of the noise. The first thing tMs town, knows the people will nave paid for a good many miles this creosote, trfock street before It knows sure whether it is any better than common; block, which is cheaper.

KELUXKi. THE TREATMENT OF DCMJ5. A Protest Asainit the Proposed Op dlnanee Xw In Council. To the Editor of Yhe Indianapolis Nw: It gives me pleasure to echo the sentiments of htm who. in his defense of the noble dog, signs hlmeelf C.

Phillips. In my opinion It would be sheer cruelty tot enforce the provisions of the ordinance now pending before the City Council. I most fervently! hope that all lovers of man's four footied friend will appear be fore the committee having this pernicious measure In rtiarge, and. in the vernacu lar of the street, "flgnt it to a stand ftill." This ordinance contemplates the chaining of the poor dumb brute In the back yard, and should the neighbors object to the awful howls to which he must at times give Vent in protest against his Irksome situation, he Is forthwith condemned to an Ignominious death. For one.

I am unable to see any harm that the dog blessed with his freedom has done. If the people will let him i a. aione no win trot along on nis way rejoicing. Not one dog in a hundred will show any 'disposition to bite unless he ib unnoyea some iaie person with a penchant for mistreating animals. To me the dog is the embodiment of intelli gence ana faithfulness.

I can cite an instance which demonstrates that he is possessed of both virtues. master had been confined In Jail for an offense of which he was after ward shown to be innocent. The animal utterly refused food, and spent days and nights howling and whining, hie made frequent; trips between his unfortunate master place of business and the barn, wnere tne horse was kept. rnally, he iracea mm to his place of confinement. ana ineffectual attempts to gain an entrance.

It might not be amiss to state, in this connection, that the man's wife was not nearly so faithful as this uurao oruie. Still another case of dog Intelligence vcirurrea some years ago, when a man met his dpaah in a terrible storm, ills corpse lry upon a country road for more than twenty four hours, and when it was found the faithful dog reposed beside It. We have had cases here in this City of dogs saving children from watery graves. Favorable action on this ordinance by the municipal law makers will be a sad mistake There are far greater nuisances Walking about the streets of this beautiful city, in the semblance of human be 1 Jngs. than the dog.

and the Council would do well give them a little attention. Give the poor dog a chance, is the earnest request of A WOMAN WHO OWNS NO DOG. The Dos; Question. To the Editor of Tbe Indiana polls News: i While It seems right and proper to protect dogs, at well as all other dumb animals, I think people should be protected ih some of their rights also. There is a difference In! dogs, as well as in the peo rile who own tisgs, and sometimes the former imbibe some of the characteristics of thy latter.) One writer says: "Just fancy Mr, McCuljoch leading Don!" Well, Just fancy Mr.

fMcCulloch walking the streets and ja'lowlng Don to Jump over the into the choicest of flowerbeds, and dig them up, making the roots fly, then making a bound for the timid little kitty, who 14 sunning herself on her while he (Mr. Cullocb.) marches on, either oblivious or faintly "Come out of there. Don," in a tone' which Don rightly interprets to mean, "Catch her, Don!" i ist ttner case represents either the man referred to or tbo dog, but they do serve good purpose, to illustrate what is wanted a better training of dogs, or that they be kept In. lnclosure. if they are too vicious to be trained, or If their owners are too vicious to wish them trained.

Two dogs were wallbwing In my choicest flower bed, and in my bed of lettuce, alternately (these were not vicious, only playfuO. and on my asking the owner, who waa talking with me. to call I htm off, I got the reply: "Oh, you will. have to get used to that, if you live in tis city," So the dogs wallowed to their hearts' content Still, we are urged to take our gates' off. and set them aside, aa they are a nuisance; Well, they are sometimes, but tha other 1 greater.

8. M. Is. Voters rrlll Resent It. To the Editor of The Indianapolis New: lean It be possible that the City Council Will be foolish enough to commit party suicide by.

passing the proposed odious dog ordinance, or any other ordinance on that "line of brutality, at present. Several thousand votes of any party hurled against Itself would certainly prove fatal. i jWhy any councilman could be mercenary enourh to introduce an ordinance on restraining the liberty of dogs in such a manner Is beyond The city would be to a considerable expense and get none of the income. It certainly would not look well for a great, moral dty like Indianapolis to pander dog. thieves and burglars, and should not be allowed in this enlightened age, HUMANITY.
