^AMUSEMENTS,

The Mikado.

Skiff's

SWiJifrVV-.Vtfi!

Sans Souci company gave

bright performance of this popular opera in many respects it was the best this season. The ensemble was excellent while individuals might be criticized, but the general effect was so happy, and the pretty gayety of the music and the jovial fun in the Mikado were so well brought out that the audience enjoyed the performance. The music of the brilliant opera improves on acquaintance.' So does this troupe and last night the in terest and applause grew until at the close the house was very enthusiastic. The stage business, the postur ing, the fan flirting and ail the little Japanese tricks were well done. Mr. Chaa. T. Barnes, Nanki Poo, is a very pleasant singer, with a soft, sweet tenor voice. The Ko-ko by Mr, Stanley Felch was very clever, good for comedy and singing. He is an eccentric comedian, above the average. His Tit Willow song was excellently sung. The Mikado by Ferris Hartman, evidently from London, was an amusing broad comedy part. Mile. Marie Bicca as Yum Yum was pretty and cute as the little Japanese maid, and sang very sweetly, The three little maids, as a group, were very bright. Katisha's part, by Miss Cruikshank, which began monotonously, developed to considerable merit. The chorus of the company is small and not especially noticeable. Hearty encores were given to many of the songs, and to Ko-Ko's humorous business, as well as to his songs. A mistake was made in attempting local jokes. In naming a Terie Haute mayor it would be best to name live on 3 still credit can be given for much original humor that was good The stage was set with fine, appropriate scenery, and the stage management was remarkable for its success in producing graceful and lively effects.'

This evening W. A. Mestayer and his company of comedians will present the new musical satirical comedy entitled "We, Us & Co." It is a farrago of non sense which, the authors confess, has an entire absence of plot, and the audience are requested to laugh, "and having laughed, not to inquire too curiously what they are laughing at."

The Harrison Art Lectures The Harrison art lectures are bjjoked for the coming week, at the Opera house, commencing Monday, and it is hoped that the public will award to the entertain ment the patronage of which it is justly worthy. It is seldom that we feel justi fied in recommending with such sincere admiration any amusement, but this calls for the support of all lovers of the beau tiful, and should particularly interest those whose culture and learning will appreciate the works of art of the various European nations. Mr. Harrison gives a graphic description of the lands made famous in history, and the illustrations, large and magnificent, have such an effect upon the hearer that un consciously one finds himself dream ily wandering by the lakes of Eillarney or in a Scottish castle on the Craggy Highlands he is gazing upon the fair features of the unfortunate queen of the Scots. Again he is lost in the laby rinth of London, and later finds himself listening to the musical splashing of' the fountains of the Moorish kings and sees in imagination the darkeyed beauties that once peopled the courts^ Time and space will not permit us to dwell upon even the prominent features of the entei tainment, but we certainly think that the six niphts during which Mr. Harrison will lecture and exhibit his views, will prove a red letter period to our entertainment loving townspeople.

The Grand Opera Honse.

With the exception of the abominable orchestral music furnished by the management last night, the entertainment at the Grand was decidedly the best play yet produced at that house. Mr. J. W. Eansone's versatile power, consid ering his youth, is really remarkable. In "Across the Atlantic" he assumes four characters, essentially different in every respect, but each possessing that quality that, rendered by Ransone, draws the applause of his audience with almost every utterance.

He is well supported. The company is good throughout, and "Across the Atlan tic" should draw good houses the remain ing three nights.

Prairie City Rank.

The attendance at the rink last night was very large, notwithstanding the weather being disagreeable. The occasion was the first appearance of Friedberg & Wells, champion bicycle and unicycle riders. They certainly proved themselves to be the finest double team that ever appeared in Terre Haute. They exhibit each night this week.

Very respectfully, M. C. RANKIN. V. A. POWER.

HOUSE OF REPBESENTATTVES, UNITED STATES, WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 26,1886. M. C. Rankin and C. A. Power, Terre

Haute Ind.: COMRADES—In reply to yours of the 18th inst., will say that I have no objec tion to letting you know frankly where I stand on any question that the people my district are interested in, holdiBg it to be my duty to legislate for the whole people and not for any particular class. I am in favor of pensioning all honorably discharged Union soldiers, their widows and orphans, and am opposed to any distinction between the officer and the private soldier or their widows, and have introduced a bill for that purpose, and shall work for its passage, if we can get it before the house. If we can, not secure the passage of this bill I am in favor of the next Jbest proposition that can be passed. I think we should do something for our pomrades who are now disabled, and incapacitated for labor, and who are deprived of their pensions on the ground that they can not show they contracted tlieir disability*in the service. I am also in favor of giving every Union soldier who served three years one hun' dred and sixty acres of land, also alike amount to those who served less than three years by their residing on the land so that the residence and the service will, make the three years,, and give them title that puts them all on an equality I have introduced a bill for this purpose. I believe this is better than giving the public lands to railroad corporations or suffer it to be held by corporations or in dividuals in large lots. Jam opposed to allowing aliens to hold or own real estate in this country under any circumstances, I am in favor of the government furnishing all the circulating medium including greenbacks, gold and silver, am making all debts, public and private payable in the same, and that our bonded indebtedness should be paid in the same as fast as it fells due, and where the bond calls for payment in coin, it should be paid in gold or silver, unless the contract calls in plain Janguage for payment in gold. I am in favor of the free coinage of silver at the present ratio, thus putting it on an equality with gold. Then we should issue silver certificates in any de nomination that may be demanded, and compel our banks to redeem the same in silver when called upon but not to ex ceed 10 per cent, of their capital stock in any sixty days. This would compel the banks to keep 10 per cent, of their capital stock on hands (in silver) as a re serve. With these provisions, I believe we can keep silver at par with gold Should we fail in this, we can try the ex periment of putting in more silver but I am opposed, under any and all circumstances, to a suspension of silver coinage, and I would have no objection to a provision compelling banks to keep portion of their reserve in silver. I am in favor of reclaiming every acre of land that has been granted to railroads, and not honestly earned by them, by an honest fulfillment of their contracts with the government. I am now, as I always have been, opposed to the reduction of the volume of the greenback currency, and believe we should issue all we can under existing laws. I hope you understand ray position on the tariff question I am "protectionist," and shall vote'for "no change" in the present tariff that does not commend itself to my mind.-as being the interest of American labor. I have written this very hurriedly, but hope you can get at my views therefrom

I am very respectfully yours, IT"*

JAS. T. JOHNSTON.

Dr. Lighthall in the Legislature. "I remember Dr. Lighthall well," said Collector Hanlon. "Last winter, during the session of the legislature, I was on the train going from New Albany to Indi anapolis. The conductor invited me into (he baggage car, where he introduced me to Lighthall. On parting with the doc tor I invited him to call and see me while in Indianapolis. Sure enough he came the next day. I took him in the house and gave him Representative Butz' seat, Rube being out at the time and there th doctor remained for two hours, with his- hands folded across his' breast, aud the diamonds on his shirt shining like coals. He would occasionally take out his $2,000 watch to note the time. The representatives thought he was one of Rube's constituents, and I never told them differently. I told Dr. Lighthall that Dr. Carver was in town, and was making a greater display of diamonds. Lighthall telegraphed immediately to Louisville for another invoice of gems, and made a greater display than ever."

Death From a Fall.

It will be remembered that Mr. James Scott, a well known citizen had a severe fall on the icy street crossing, sustaining what was thought at the time to-- be an exceedingly bad fracture of the hip joint. He was taken to his residence on north Second street, where for a time it was thought he was getting better and would soon be able to leave his residence. On Monday afternoon he commenced to grow worse rapidly and unexpectedand yesterday morning died. His sudden change for the worse is said to have been a generally inflamed condition of his system, superinduced by the unhealed injury. He was formerly a member of the firm of Scott, Graff & Co., carriage manufacturers, and also of Scott, Oran & Co, and for many years has been identified with the business interests of Terre Haute." His funeral will occur on Snnday, the 31st inst., at 2 p. m., from the family residence on north Second street. .V-

JA Prospective Wedding.. 'The New Albany Public iPress says By a special dispatch from Fort Wayne the Public Press learns that Auditor of State James H. Rice, and the estimable daughter of the Hon.

Miss Fleming is visiting relatives in this city, oo north Sixth street.

The sale of the Danville, Olney &Ohio River road has been postponed until February 10th.

The B. A O. is purchasing land in Minneapolis, and the conclusion is drawn that the road is seeking terminal grounds.

The Brotherhood of Railroad Brakemen of the United States have accepted a proposition to admit the Conductors' and Brakemen's organization of Canada, of, which the membership is 8,000.

Passenger train No. 5, of the Yandalia, drawn by engine No. 183, Tom Warnopee engineer, made a remarkable run from Terre Haute to St. Louis Tuesday morning. The train left the city at 1:4S a. am., one hour and twenty minutes late, arriving at East St. Louis at 5:30, on time. Thirty-five minutes were lost by stops, making the total run of 163 miles in 195 minutes.

The value of the Uiiibn Pacific land grant is illustrated by the fact that though the sales of 1885 were not half so great as in 1884, they Btill amounted to $4,137,013, a very comfortable sum, even for a corporation like the Union Pacific. The total sales up to this time have boen 10,910,000 acres for $33,380,000. There remains in the company's possession about 7,400,000 acres. This includes mountain and arid laads.

The New York, West Shore & Buffalo's report shows its gross earnings last year per mile were $7,466, which equals those of some of the most profitable western roads. The Michigan Central in 1884 earned $7,747 per mile the Lake Shore, $11,075: the C., B. A Q., $6,337 the Chicago & Northwestern, $6,727 the Illinois Central (in Illinois), $6,462 the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul, $4,910. The New York Central, for the year ending last September, earned $25,529 mile. During that time the Central carried 12,747,801 passengers.

PROF. BELL'S FAMILY.

Die th

Domestio Affairs—Teaching Deaf Mutes to Speak. A Washington letter to the Chicago Inter-Ocean says: Since the domestic affairs of Professor—not Dr.—A. Graham Bell, of telephone fame,, have interested two correspondents of the Daily News who have each fallen into slight errors, the following from the seat of war is offered: Professor Bell did not marry the daughter of Bartley Hubbard, but of Gardner |G. Hubbard, of Massachusetts, an immensely rich man, who has a winter home on Connecticut avenue, Washington. His children are not blind, as one correspondent wrote, nor yet without defects, as another mentioned but having all had diphtheria and scarlet fever a year or two age, one or two of them became slightly deaf, which still continues, but which the doctors think will be cured eventually. Their mother being a deaf mute, the stories of their deafness became exaggerated. Mrs. Bell is said to be the most expert lip-reader among the deaf mutes in this country but her efforts at speech show that there is still along road to traverse between the natural and acquired articulation. Prof. Bell, who was the chief mover in this country in the system of teaching deaf mutes to speak, was employed by Mr. Hubbard' to teach articulation and lip-reading to his daughter. Miss Hubbard was a beautiful girl, and soon the old story of master ancl pupil was repeated. Prof. Bell behaved honorably in the matter and stated to Mr. Hubbard just how matters stood. Although Mr. Bell was then a poor young man Mr. Hubbard did not oppose the match, and it soon took fJlace, Prof. Bell is an enthusiast on the subject of teaching articulation to deaf mutes, but although, as one of them pathetically said: "Bad as our speech is nobody but ourselves can know how much better it is than perpetual silence," yet it is scarcely intelligible. The breath is labored, there are no inflections as in the natural voicer and a painful effort is always apparent. Prof. Bell, however, claims that the science is only in its infancy. He has lately organized a class of teachers, finding that the principles are not yet even compre hended, and he thinks that year by year something will be gained toward normal speech until at last there need be no such thing practically as a deaf mute.

THE DAUGHTERS OF REBECCA

Pralre City Lodge.No. 107, Initiates Can didates and Entertains Guests: Last evening the members of Prairie City lodge held their regular meeting in the lodge room in McKeen block. The occasion was memorable by reason, not only of the peculiarly interesting exercises of initiation by which four candidates were brought into the lodge, but also from the large number of visitors from abroad present and for the very elegant banquet spread at the conclusion of the evenings exercises.

Prairie City lodge is one of the most successful lodges in the state. It has already 110 members and still growing. The officers at present are as follows: Miss Minnie Slaughter, N. G." Mrs. S. L. Fenner, P. N. G. Mies Nora N^al, V.

Mrs. Wm. Slaughter, chaplain Mrs. Noyes White, warden Mrs. W. A. Mur"ly, conductor, Mrs. Dinkle and Miss ary Habberlin, R. and L. supports to N. G. Mrs. Emminger and Mrs. A. C. Matson, R. and L. supports to V. N. G. Among other visitors present last evening were the following from Paris: Sisters Peabody, Sneller, Keepers, Garner, Green, Troutman, Phillips, Rock, Petrie, Mack and Dunbar. From Camden, Ind., Sister M. E. Hamlin. Several visitors from Clinton and Lockport were present.

A Human Nightingale.

The King of Bavaria has been much distressed because his 'manager, Her Yon Perfall, had failed to provide him with a real nightingale. In Wagner's "Parsifal" the song of the nightingale plays a art in the stonr. This is usually prouced by a skillful flute player behind tbe scenes. "This will not do," said the exacting royal critic. "We ought to have a real nightingale." Herr Von Perfall promised to do what hfe could toward engaging a nightingale as one of the company. There is a man who sings in the public places in Munich who has a rare capacity for imitating the songs of different birds. He was diligently schooled and conveyed to the king^s isolated theater. His majesty believed that he was listening to a real nightingale at the next performance of "Paisifal," and sent a most flattering letter of thankB to the director. It is fortunate that the king is not so expert and critical a naturalist as he is an artist, otherwise he., would have inquired how Herr von Perfall contrived to persuade that nightingale to sing so vigorously at a time when all other nightingales are dumb.

Music Boxes in Chair*.

An amusing incident occurred last week at the honse of a well-known society, lady, in Washington, during tbe course of the afternoon. Among the many articles of bric-a-brac about the parlor is a beautiful little oak chair, ornate with Swiss carvings. A party of ladies, all strangers to tbe hostess, entered iust at the moment when one of the awkward pauiM la coDvemtioa occurred which

strike terror to the heart of societygoers. One of the ladies of this party, thinking to relieve the hostess, and place her own party more at ease, crossed the room to the Swiss chair with a passing comment on its seat. As she did so the stirring strains of "Arouse Thee, My Bonny Swiss Boy," floated out into the room, startling the guestB with its suddenness. For a moment no one could tell from whence" the sound came, and the lady sat serenely on all unconscious of the fact that the seat of the little chair held a music-box, the spring of which she had touched in seating herself.

ALL MEN ARE BROTHERS.

Some Figures Which Tend to Show That They Host Be Related^ The number of a man's ancestors, says writer in Popular Science Monthly, doubles in. every generation as his descent is traced upward. In the first generation he reckons only two ancestors, his father and mother. In the second generation the two are converted into four, since he had two grandfathers and two grand mothers. But iach of these four had two parents, and thus in the third generation there are eight ancestors—that is, eight great-grandparents. In the fourth generation the number of ancestors is 16 in the fifth, 32 in the sixth, 64 in the seventh, 128. In the tenth it has risen to 1,024 in the twentieth it becomes 1,048,576 in the thirtieth no fewer than 1,073,741,834. To ascend no higher, than the twenty-fourth generation we reach the sum of 15,777,215, which is a great deal more than all the inhabitants of Great Britain when that generation was in existence. For if we reckon a generation at thirty-three years, twenty-four of such will carry us back 702 years, or to A. D., 1093, when William the Conqueror had been sleeping in his grave at Caen only six years, and his son, William II., surnamed Rufus, was reigning over the land. At that time the total number of the inhabitants of England could have been little more than 2,000,000, the amount at which it is estimated during the' reign of the Conqueror. It was only one-eighth of a nineteenth century man's ancestors if the normal ratio of progression, as just shown by simple process of arithmetic, had received no check, and if it had not been bounded by the limits of the population of the country. Since the result of the law of progression, had there not been room foi' its expansion, would have been eight times the actual population, by so much the more is it certain that the lines of every Englishman's ancestry run up to every man and every woman in the reign of William I., from the king and queen downward, who left descend ants in the island, and whose progency has not died out there.
