MARY ANDERSON

hme on Thursday evening and played Shiel's beautiful drama of "Evadne," and our dramatic-going people—with the exception of about two hundred— missed one of tbe finest personations ever given on that stage. The reputation of the drama-loving people of this city was somewhat damaged by allowing her to come and go in this manner.

THE FLORENCES

Were more fortunate on the following evening, having a large and fashionable audience. This was their first appearance here, and the "Mighty Dollar" was enthusiastically received. It is truly an American play, and most of tbe characters are true to life. Mr. Florence's

Bard well Slote" illustrates the letter of the young man who went west, to hia father: "Dear Dad—Pack up and come west. Awful mean men get office out here." "Mrs. General Gllflory," a war widow, traveled, ostentatious, ignorant, shoddy, wis capital, aud rendered by Mrs. Florence with such ease that it did not seem like acMng. Her elegant toilets—a change for every act, won the admiration of the ladies.

CHARLOTTE THOMPSON

In turn came laat night, and well she sustained her part in the galaxy of stars with which our city has been favored this week. She has fine stage presence, a rich, deep voioe, splendid eyea, a strong mobile face, and very marked talent, not to say genius, for emotional aoting. As "Jane Eyre" she seemed to entirely lose her identity, and there stood before tho audience first the slighted, uncared for aud bated girl, then tbe talented teacher and governess, and at last ending her troubles as the bride of Lord Rochester, which, b/ the way, was given with much spirit and foroe by Mr. Jas. Wallack. The other members of the company were good, and great at tendon was given to the little details of the play. The furniture and stage setting of the library at Tbornfieid Hall was ono of the richest we remember to have seen on that stage. Jane Eyre is given again this afternoon.

TI0 BVKN1NO

Charlotte Thompson will again appear and gi re us ber great personation of Miss Malton." This Is tbe story of a young wife and mother, who says she was tempted from home in a moment of mad jealousy and threw away the temptation in the hoar of yielding to it, on returning to ber home, as die claims, finds it deserted, and then drifts ball insanely oat into tbe world. By some unaoooanted-for mistake In Identity, abe is supposed to be killed in a railway accident, and aooepta tbe supposition as a veil to ber shame. Eight yean afterwards, through the friendship of a surgeon, ahe ia offered a place as governess af bar own children, by bar husband, who baa married again, and who ia, of course, ignorant of who die Is. At lint •he deolinee It, bat changes bar mind, moved by a mother's longing for ber children, and trusting to bar ebanged

appearance. She goes, and tbe natural consequences are all sorts of complications and tremblings on'the verge of discovery, which comes at last, and she voluntarily abandons the house rather than proclaim her shame to ber children. In the last act she is sgain at tbe bouse of the friendly surgeon, where she at last dies in the arms of her children, who know ber as their mother, at length and at peaoe with everybody, even ber husband's new wife. The drama is full of impassioned aoenee and strangely contracted situations, and affords Miss Thompson grand opportunities for the display of her peculiar powers.

COYNE PATENT AUTOMATIC NAILPICKER

Which Is now in successful operation in tbe

Terre HaHte Iron and Nail Works,

Two mills in Pittsburg, one in Mahoning Valley and ours are the only nail works west cf the Allogheny Mountains that have attached this patent nail picker tn their nail machines. Thi9 picker separates all tbe dust, scale, slivers, headless and imperfect nails from the perfect, thereby insuring from three to five pounds more of perfect nails to the keg than nails put up by the old process, which mixes all tbe dust, slivers, scale, and imperfect with the perfect nails. Therefore tho advantage of getting the cleanly picked nails over thos" not so selected will be readily seen. ~OurRED LABEL is pasted on every picked keg of nails. Therefore, let every one be.su re to call for the

Terre Haute Red Labeled Selected Nails.

We are also scouring onr threepenny fine nails, which will especially interest plasterers. Come and see bow perfectly this little Coyne Picker does its work.
