THE! RINGGOLD BALL,.
A Large Attendance, and a Delightful Time.
The eighth annual masque ball of the Ringgold band took place at Dowling hall last night and in point of enjoyment, attendance, excellence of music, selection of dances, and costuming was fully up to any of the previous balls given by this favorite musical organization. The attendance last night was well up in the hundreds, the majority of whom were in character costume or fancy dress. There were present a great many flower girls enough prinbesses to fill •the court of the Khedive several Queen Elizabeths, a Mary Queen of Scots, half a dozen Follies, with cap and bells, a few Indian Maidens, three ladies de Afrique and one lady representing the press—the Express—wearing a dress made from copies of Sunday's Express, which attracted much attention. It is but justice to this young masquer to say that she possessed good taste and was the best read lady at the ball. Among the male characters represented were a number of jockeys, base ballists, soldiers, dukes, counts, no accounts, ludicrous fat boys, clowns, pantaloons, and a motley crew of tobacco borrowers, never refusers, and evening newspaper reporters. The dancing opened at ten o'clock with the grand march and continued with a short intermission until three o'clock. Everything passed off very pleasantly and the occasion was one of rare enjoyment, reflecting much credit on the Ringgold band and the following committee of arrangements:
Rcyn Early, Geo. Weldele, Jos. Fisher, Frank Breinig, Geo. Slckford, Charles H. L. Breinlg.
Will Open an Opera Honse. The Emma Abbott troupe went south on the E. & T. H. this morning. They will go to Henderson, Ky., and will open anew opera house thereto-night.
THF FAMINE.
The Bev. J. K. Wheeler Tells How Lust, Greed and Gain Leads Men on—Other
Interesting Church Matters.
And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in the land. The Rev. J. K. Wheeler took the above as his text for the "famine" sermon in hiB "Prodigal Son" series. The church was filled, and the closest attention was given the preacher.
Last week oar city tested the fire department It was found the engine could lift the stream 115 feet high and the pressure of the water works 125 feet. All right—the city is safe. What a loss if some building should burn down—a dry goods house be damaged We must look out for that. But matter about the 150 liceneed places when men and homeB are set on fire! A man, a wife, children, happy homes, these are nothing! Let those burn and fall, and let our fair city make no attempt to put out the flame, nor to protect its boys and young men from the spreading flames.
Referring to the prodigal son he said, What recklessness is here described? He was wasting his capital, his strength, his opportunities, his virtues, his manhood, his very substance. And this mighty watte went on till all was gone.
Tell a man his course will end in bankruptcy, and he will laugh at you And yet look at the ruined prospects, mortgaged, wrecked and broken homes! Look in your hospitals and asylums, and see the physicaf weakling, the mental and moral imbecile, the poor, crawling, muttering, drivel ing idiot, and shudder through and through as you read those awful words, "And when he had spent all!" Home gone, father gone, money gone, pleasure, position, comrades, friends, resolution, force of will, every impulse toward a better life—self-confidence, self-respect, character, reputation, all gone! Uie parable is not overdrawn.
You know men who have spent all —such is the prodigality of
Bin.
So
appetite and lust, and greed of gain, and love of pleasure lead men on! Whenever a man startB out away from God, he is always running on a down grade, and too often with accilerated speed, Bure to reach the bottom at last, Ah, the home was cozy and cheerful once—the fire burned warm in the grate, and love was bright and happy in the eye of the true and faithful wife, and merry children danced and sang their gleeful song. But there is no fire in the grate to-night, nothing but cinders and ashes. Cold and stil, and dark is that home, wasted and wan the cheek of the wife, and the song of the children has ceased beneath the heavy burdens of early toil. The poor husband and father has spent allsalary, position,business ability!—mortgaged his home, pawned the love of wife, bartered away the children's smile—spent all, all!
My heart is often touched when I see the little caBh boy or girl put out to early service—too often because of father's sin. Pushed and shoved about scolded and abused because defenseless. "And when he had spent all, there arose a mighty famine in the land." There is something terrible in the thought of famine. I have seen the pictures of famine sufferers in India, but how much more terrible must be the famine in the inner life, in the soul of men? The pleasure seeker and the worldling hungry at last! To find that cosmetics and parties and fashion and dress and the Sabbath evening company, after all, have not satisfied the
BOUI,
that you
have spent all, and are now hungry before God. To find that yGU have drank off the foam and the sparkle of a dissolute and wanton life, that you are now coming down to the thick and slimy dregB of your unclean cup that you have lost purity, that deep inner joy and peace, lost manhood, womanhood, and are making at last that frightful discovery that your ungodliness and lust do not satisfy, that you hunger still.
Sow vour wild oats—indulge every desire,"walk in the way of your heart, feed every appetite, sit down in indolence and ease, make no struggle with temptation. Be on friendly terms with sin, follow every inclination, every longing of the eye, suffer no restraint, give loose rein to the animal within you, live easy, live fast—listen! But know that for all these thing* God will bring thee into judgment.
To every soul afar from God, away from ChriBt, there comes at last a mighty famine'in that land.

AMUSEMENTS.
King For a Day,
The usual fine house that greets Emma Abbott, received her, last night, in the very pleasing opera announced. "King for a Day" is one of the bright est of modern operas. Without presenting any remarkable examples of music., it is well sustained, has beautiful songs, excellent choruses, and bright, cheerful overtures and accompaniments, and the story is the foundation of a good play. It is well put on the stage, with appropriate action and picturesque, handsome costumes.
This opera of Adam's must have been written for the tenor and baritone, as to them fall the principal airs. It presents to Miss Abbott less oppor tunity for legitimate operatic performance than any in which she has appeared here, or rather, more opportunity for the pretty little tricks of a vocalist who plays for applause.
The first act opens with a spirited chorus, and the famous tenor Castle appears in a character that is most satistory all throngh. He retains the sweet, sympathetic voice that charms the dullest ear. His character of Zephoris is excellently taken, both as spoken and sung. The passage, "If 1 were king," was Bung with feeling and dignity. If his singing shows any fauing i:
gin force it does not in the pure, flexible, soft notes of his matchless
voice. The appearance of Miss Abbott, brilliantly attired, born in a palanquin, and Tagliapietra, as King, was signal for applause. We fail to discover any song by the 'soprano in this act, but she did ax«cnte in lien of them a surmising and sweet series of trills, tagliapietra sang his lines with distinct
I_ a-vrssc-- *3
phrasing in a fine voice. His voice is a noble baritone of great power and ranee. His softer notes are rich and sweet. He filled well the dignified part of king. The second act in which the sleeping fisherman wakes to find himself king for a day is full of life and music. Attention is called to the recitative by the heorine. Nemea. Here the original music and lines are interwoven and embellished with trills and long-drawn notes that all of the
Eappy
romise of love which reachns the Zephoris is lost in a delicious musscal gurgle, very sweet but not a good example of geniuine, artistic singing. The fine magical quality of Miss Abbott's voice does appear nevertheless, as it rivals and blends with notes of a beautifully played flute. There is in this act a duet between Zephoris and Nemia, which is full of harmony and in which the two sweet voices of the tenor and soprano blend in perfect unison. Miss Abbott has cultivated that power of the voice by which she produces those sustained, fine notes that like some violin touch are so fine and keen that nothing Btands twixt them and silence. It is, however, at the expense of a dignified interpretation of what the composer wrote. In this as in other features she ahows the artifices of a shrewd manageress. To prove that the opera lacks music for the soprano the "Last Rose of Summer" was sung by Miss Abbott with her own emendations that promoted the simple ballad to a very dramatic representation. It was received with enthusiastic applause and an encore. In the third act our oldtime favorite, Mrs. Zelda Seguin fairly appeared, and supported her reputation by the finely sung J'Indienne," and her bright dramatic force as Zelide. Her recitations are finely, fully given. Broderick as Kadow showed a splendid bass, suited for this or greater music. Allen as Ze«el was entertaining, and Novello as Pifear was a pleasant character. The company is well balanced, fully capable of presenting fine examples of opera.
E. W. BOSS OO.
They Think if Terre Hant* Wants Manufactures It Should Be Willing to Give "Bonnien."
Some time during last month Mayor Armstrong wrote E. W. Ross 4 Co., of Fulton, N. Y., stating that if they wished to remove their factory it would be well for them to investigate the advantages offered by Terre Haute. They wrote, making farther inquiries, and asking what "inducements Terre Haute would offer" them. To this the mayor replied that the natural advantages of this city were so great that it had never been found necessary to give bonus, but informed them that our capitalists were always willing to invest, and if they would state just what they wanted, they could be better informed. The correspondence was published in the Express at the time. In answer to his last letter the mayor has received the following:
FULTON, N. Y., December 14,1888.
Hon. Wm. H. Armstrong, Terre Haute, Ind. DEAR SIR: Your letter containing details to the questions we have made has been duly recoived, and has our very best attention. We do not know but your city is so well situated as to all sorts of facilities for manufacturers as not to make It necessary to offer any inducements, but we find places in all states equally as eligible who are desirous to attract. Cities of four and fire times your population are making us inducements. We send you by mail some circulars of our lines of manufacture, and will give you a few details concerning what we are doing, and what we intend to do. We employ during busy season here, say 100 men, all that can be conveniently worked hero,'and at present time to meet the demands of our growing business are erecting three temporary buildings to enable us to get get through until we can change our location. Our cutter line has been one of our specialties for many years. Our late patents and Improvements of 1882 and 1883 give us great advantages over all other machines of same class, and in this year alone, in spite of bad crops, we shall more than double our. business in this line.
We do not ask you for capital, nor want it. We shall, probably, like all manufacturing establishments who fill their store houses and give time on their goods, want to borrow money, but we have not yet done so. Expenses of moving a large established manufactory, and the consequent loss of time, are very expensive. We are not begging for donations, or anything else. Offers from other places have been unasked and unsolicited. They make offers to other people as well as ourselves, and under the circumstances we propose to take advantage of them.
Very respectfully yours, E. W. Ross & Co.
This shows that the firm undoubtedly expect a bonus. It is also equally certain that they desire to remove their works. It has been shown in these columns time and again that our city has advantages unsurpassed by any city in the west. Here we have good steam coal at 60 cents a ton delivered. It is block and nut mixed, and is equal to ona-and-a-half tons of ordinary •teem coal. But there is one thing lacking. Eligible sites for manufacturing establishments are not offered readily enough. The owners want too high a price for them, and it (cares manufactures. This evil must be overcome in
Bome
manner. This is an
era of manufacturing progress, and is one of the great opportunities for western towns to secure eastern establishments. If Messrs. Ross & Co., had written stating just exactly what they wanted, the whole matter could have been simmered down in a few minutes. If they need additional capital, and their establishment to be a sound affair, there is not much doubt but the capital would be forthcoming immediately. They would {. be.encouraged, as Mr. Close was to re* move his paper mill here, or Mr. Bramble to establish his extensive lock works here. These two gentle men are both satisfied with their location.
Mayor Armstrong desires all citizens who are interested in the manufacturing interests of our city to confer with him. This establishment of Messrs. Ross & Co. may be induced to remove here. The gentlemen should be invited to visit our rity and personally inspect its advantages. They should come here and state just exactly what they want, and they could then be informed what they could expect.
Justice Murphy Caned. Yesterday afternoon Justice Murphy was waited upon by Messrs. Hugh D. Roquet, D. N. Taylor, Frank J. Morrison and several other gentlemen and presented with a handsome and costly gold-headed cane. Mr. D. N. Taylor was called to the chair and Mr. Roquet presented the cane, in a few remarks expressive of the high esteem in which Justice Murphy is held as a citizen and a magistrate. The judge, after recovering from the surprise occasioned by the unexpected conduct of his friends, thanked them for the kind words ol their spoksman and hoped he would always merit the friendship and esteem of the gentlemen who had so kindly remembered him. He accepted the cane and hoped it would ever guide him in the true path of duty as a citizen and of justice as magistrate. The cane was furnished by Leeds and has engraved on the richly-carved gold head: "Presented to James F. Murphy by his friends, Dec. 17,1883."

On Sanday he returned, and on finding that his wife and little ones were getting along very well without his assistance, he got drunk and calling on his family at their residence, in the basement under the cigar store near Justice Lockman's office, on Ohio street, proceeded to abuse them and break up the furniture, for all of which he was arrested anil fined $1 and costs.

They Got
Frank Anthony, three other young men and four young women, wishing to take advantage of the first snow, secured a pair of horses and a bob sleigh Sunday night and started out for a pleasure ride. Everything went well until the party had gone some two miles beyond the Orphan's Home, when the neck yoke dropped, the horses became detached from the sleigh and came home, leaving the young people to come back on shank's mare, which they did, arriving in the city, half frozen, about midnight.
Collided With a Street Car. At Evamville, yesterday afternoon, engine No. 26 collided with a street car, carrying it about one hundred feet, and demolishing it. Five persons were in the car at the time, but no one was seriously injured.
