Al»o uole the improvements of the north side as compared to the south side between Fourth and Seventh streets. Originally the south side of Main street was much more valuable than the north side.

Such a theater in all likelihood would le accorded a patronage without precedent, in the dramatic annals of Terre Haute.
There are a vant numler of our inhabitants, lovers of the stage, who have not
seen the glimmer of the footlights in
many a day, liecause to gain .admission to the temple of amusement would cont them more than could be spared from the scanty earnings of honest toil.
....».
The pool man enjoys the theater as as well as his more fortunate brother— the stage-portrayals of life's emotions have as touching and inspiring a significance to the poor lad's heart as to that of the rich. Therefore, a cite: theater is what%rre Haute needs. Troupes could be secured for it who are capable of giving first-clasa shows and respectable shows. They could afford to present, their productions at popular prices—Id, 20 and 30 cents—on account of the fact that they would make, instead of onenight, one-week stands. The Park theater at indianapolis—a prototype of what is needed in Terre Haute—is the most successful one in that city. Single companies hold the boards for one week, a show is giv.ui every ni^ht and every night the house is crowded. Such an opera house in this city would in all probability enjoy a similar run of patronage.
Granted that Terre Haute is the place for a dime museum, the question arises as to what would be the best location. A NKWS reporter heard the opinion expressed tiiis morning and it was bv no less a personage than Mayor lana!dson that tht^ld Court house could be converted into a good opera house. His idea was to use the consultation rooms for the stage, cut a spacious proscenium arch through the wall back ol tine judge's seat and fm'sli up the court room lor an auditorium. At an expense which would irit exceed $2,000 such a, radical change in the old building' could be wrought that it would look as though it had never been anything but an opera house. In addition to this the mayor mentioned that the clerk's ollice down stain* might be filled with fourlegged chickens, two-legged pigs, dogfaced bovs,'living skeletons, mermaids, demon children, etc.. and a museum sign hung upon the outside. All this done, and when a man struck the comer of Third and Ohio streets he would think he was on the corner of Washington and Tennessee streets in Indianapolis, It's a great scheme and "there's millions in it."

dkpjtfcbes were received. The new
coffee crop in Brazil is almost ready to be harvested, and the supply on the market here is consequently limited. If a revolution has broken out and the ports of Kio de Janeiro and Santas are
aded, 75 per cent, of the coffee supply of this country will be cut off. This will be productive of very serious consequences throughout the country. When a confirmation of the report is" received at the. exchange to-morrow, from London, there is likely to be an unheard of scene on the floor."
NEW YOHK, November 16.—[Special] —The reported revolution in Brazil followed by the report of another in Yeuezula, caused great excitement everywhere this morning and especially among down town merchants engaged in South American trade. The reports caused a great crowd to gather at the coffee exchange. At Cole the prices advanced a little over yesterday's closing. The first four lots of a thousand bags of December sold at lo.ttf, advance of fifteen to twenty points over yesterday, lt soon fell off to 15. o".
January opened from five to fifteert points over last night. March, April ami Mav acted in sympathy, June, July, and August were neglected. At tlt^
opening call while September^ advance^
were sold on first call. This morning as 10 o'clock Chfis. R. Flint & Co. had not' received any further advices concerning the revolution. Mativ members of the exchange were inclined to doubt the dispatches and will not l»elieve them until later reports are in.
LONDON, November 10.--[Special.]—f Dispatches from Rio de Janeiro say th« Imperial ministers have been placed under arrest and are kept in close confinement. The emjeror is at his summer palace at lVtropolis, twenty-five miles north of Rio de Janeiro. Business in the eitv is suspended, but there is no danger to life or property. Brazilian securities fell per cent, in 'change this morning.
Rio I»K ANKIKO, via liomlou, November Hi.—[Special.]—Raron l/jdario, minister of marine, was shot and dangerously wounded by the revolutionary soldiers, but was not. killed as reported yesterday,
NKW YOHK, November 10.—[Special.]— The bank statement shows the banks have increased the reserve $1, 510,725 and hold in excess of Ate legal requirements
Gen. Fonzea, who is et the head of the revolution, was accused of insubordination last July and the Minister of War proposed to have him court-martialled out the Emperor forbade it. If the whole force in Rio are of one mind things can le carried with a high hand. Parliament meets next Wednesday and many Senators and Deputies are already in the city. If they agree to recognize the new government, Dom Pedro's abdication may be looked for. If they do not they will have to go to jail. As the revolutionists control the cable, definite news may not be received for several days. The revolution comes as a great surprise. No financial trouble exists. The August elections were peaceful. The liberal cabinetproposes popular measures and the Emperor is universally liked. The Comp de Main mav affect the statues of the Bnutiltan delegates to the PanAmerican congress.

Similar dispatches were also received by Arbuckle Bros, and Joseph J. Donoh"ue Sons. These dispatches were received about 4 o'clock, just after the coffee exchange had closed for the day. The reporta came like a clap of thunder to coffee dealers throughout the city, who were made acquainted with them to-night, and are likely to cause serious trouble on the exchange if confirmed. While the dealers generally spoke in a hopeful strain, they exhibited signs of uneasiness. "This is the first intimation we have had of anv trouble of any kind iu Brazil for a vear,-' said Mr. .1. .J* O'Donohue tonight. "We received information about a year ago in our correspondence from Brazil of a rumored uprising of the slaves in various parts of that country, but nothing more was ever heard of it. and since then the news from Rio Janeiro has been of a most cheerful character. Money on the Brazilian exchange has been at par for more than a year past, something that had hardly been known in the history of the country for years past.

l»ro*ecutor* Turn the frontn (ateOver to tbe Defense. CHICAGO, November 16.—[Special]— The two days' intermission in the Cronin trial seemed to increase the crowd in attendance. The first witness sworn this morning was Clancy, of the New York Herald. He testified that on the morning of May 22, before the body of Cronin wa* found, he had a little talk with O'Sullivan about his contract with Cronin. ,and also had a talk with him immediately after the discovery of the body in the catch basin. He described O'Sullivan's appearance when told where Cronin's body nad been found, said that O'Sullivan became very nervous, wiped the sweat off his forehead and refused to go and identify the body and that he showed every mark of trepidation and terror. Close examination failed to shake the testimony and the state announced that it had presented their side of the case.

Score One for Natalie.
LONDON, November Hi.—Ex-I2ueen Natalia hits scored another victory over her ex-husband in compelling the Servian Regents to enter into an agreement to permit her to see her son whenever she may choose to pay him a visit, the only condition of importance imposed upon her being that she shall refrain from political intrigue. This arrangement is very much as Russia would have it, and the royal ladv may be depended upon to make her influence felt upon her son and in other directions without rendering herself liable to the accusation of violating the terms of her agreement. Meanwhile ex-King Milan has gone back to his congenial life in Paris with a metaphorical black eye, and the Czar is preparing to add anotlier to his long list of bloodless conquests in the government of Servia when Natalia shall have completed the necessary preparations for the transfer of tne keys of Belgrade to her imperial protector.

WII.MINOTON, November 10.--The members of the aristocratic and exclusive 1 )upout family are greatly incensed over the marriage of Maurice Dupont, the son
0f
the now deceased but onece renowned
the tjueenstown liar-maid, and it is already hinted that if the young man is wise lie will refrain from bringing bis pretty bride to the family homestead, liecause the family will refuse to l-ecognize her. The Dunonta are among the first families of Delaware, and the estates that they control in Braudywine county are stupendous. Should young Maurice return he will, it is thought, take up his residence in or near Wilmington, but remote from his relatives, in order that no opportunity may be afforded for the complete ostracism with which bis bride is threatened, lie is worth over a million of dollars, and hence can afford to snap his fingers at his indignant relatives.
Tlie Illness of Mr. Kandall. WASHiNIITOX, November K.—There is very little prospect that Mr. Randall will be seen in his seat at the opening of Congress. The emirfent ex-speaker is still a very sick man, and his physicians are very much disheartened by the slow progress that he is making. He is so weak that he cannot even stand on his feet for five minutes at a time, while his correspondence is read to him by his wife, who seldom leaves his bedside for more than a few minxes at a time. No callers have been allowed to sec him for several weeks.

The t'roiilu Trial.
Can AI.O, November 10. Claneev, the man who is to be the last witness for th« prosecution in the Cronin case, arrived in-this city from New York yesterday, and this morning hud a talk of an hour with Suite's Attorney l-ongcneeker. He will be put on the stand at the opening of court to-morrow. A reporter asked Judge Longeuecker this morning: "Are you prepared for any move the defense may make?" "I think we can meet them," replied he. "We have a very strong rebuttal. Some very good witnesses we have reserved. Our course now depends entirely upon that of tbe defense. We will have to wait for them," "How about Mrs. Hoertel's testimony? Can you back that up pretty well?" "We have a witness that will fix that point, I think. Yes, we have excellent witnesses yet—some remarkably good ones," said the judge meditatively.
