THS Terre Haute Cornet Basel is hereafter to be known as tbe MoKeeo Cadets Band—the cadets having agreed to uniform tbe band. It is now under the direction'^of Harry Owens, and to composed of seventeen first class musicians. Terre Haute Is particularly favored in this line of musks. We doubt if any elty of this site in the Union has two as good bands as those now attached 4o the McKeen Cadets and the Light -eaards.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.,

Frederick Paulding played at the Opera Souse Wednesday evening, snd Christmas afternoon and evening. He is-a son of Col. R. I. Dodge, of tbe U. S. Arwj, and got his first teste of tbe stage In amateur theatricals at the Barracks in Omaha. He exhibits considerable bis trion!e talent, bet at some future time when he is older snd has learned €bat ranting is not always acting, has learned to give more shading to his personations, has shortened his long stage strides, and bis stodied, Hamlet-like tposing, has become,so to speak, toned down, we will speak of him in better terms than we can conscientiously at this time.

To-night Mr. Harry Webber will present bis drama of "Nip snd Tack."

3.00 in silver. ££0 ID gold. jU)0 in altaror. 1,00 in silver. pSome idea of tbeplay and players may be gained from tbe following, dipped from tbe Chicago Tribune: "Harry Webber, the popular local eccentric comedian, appeared here last evening before erowded bouse, in his specialty of Nip, in tbe exceedingly interesting comedy drama, "Nip and

Tuck." Tbe actor and tbe part have long been associated and now fit each other almost perfectly. Mr. Webber played tbe part last evening with more than his u»nal excellence. The piece has been produced in this city so many times that comment is not necessary. All that remains to be said is that it has never been put on tbe stage in as fine a manner as to was last evening. It is one of tbe most entertaining plays ever pro-, duced in this city. It is a strange compound of tender pathos, sparkling wit and diabolical vllltany, with the humorous predominating to a sufficient exteot to keep tbe audience in tbe best of humor. It hasn't a weak point it, and tbe actors are all that could be asked to give tbe strongest possible presentation of tbe piece. Harry Webber, the central figure of the organization, is one of tbe finest character actors we have had with us for many a day—easy, sprightly, versatile, and he coqld, wholly unaided, entertain an audience for an entire evening. As*"Nip" be personates no lees tban five distinct and widely differing characters, and does every one of tbem to perfection. Mr. D. H. Fitzpatricfc, as his villainous partner, "Tuck," renders him effioient support, and Mr. W. J. Hurley, Melissa JBreslau, Eva Webber and little Camille Gardner did some exceedingly clever acting. It is free from vulgarity or coarseness, though one of

the most.genuinely humorous of pieoes, and ladies and children may see it without fear of any thing save tbe Immoderate laughter that it may evoke. We advise everybody to see "Nip and Tuck."

On Monday and Tueaday evenings and on Tuesday afternoon The "Pathfinders will make their first appearance here, introducing their new musical extravaganza of "Scraps." The Louisville Commercial says: "The performance Is one of many phases, and touches the reslbles of the looker-on with countless drolleriee and funny incidents. "Scraps" was the name of tbe mixture presented last night it Is a history ot a little pleasure excursion by water, of a party of two lad lea, two gentleman and a fifth wheel in tbe form of a ludicrous blsck African attendant. When they first appear It is at the steam boat landing, and discovering that they have more than two hours to wait Ahey decide to pass the time in songs choruses, plcnicing snd miscellaneous fun. The two hours and a half eevers tbe whole aifah and the curtain doesnot fall until tbe close. Each one of the five contributes a big armful to the merits of the entertainment. The singing snd tbe Imitations were the «bief features. An incidental exhibition be lore tbe excursionists, brings in the wonderful acrobats, the "Milton 4Fas-

fle

ars," who perform apparently impose!feats, and are received with

applause. Tbe stage settings and appointments have been carefully perfected. Tbe steamboat is a mechanical success.

On Wednesday and Thursday erecIngs, with a fSfew Years matinee, the Qraves-Boniffcce Combination will appear, presenting at tbe first two entertainments the new drama of "Tbe Qdeen's Evidence," for which the press generally has .given very high praise Tbe story Is said to be an intensely ieterostlng one, replete in mystery, and! the scenic effects, for which there is fine field, are worked up admirably. George C. Boniface is at tbe head of veryotrong company, and the drama will be rendered with every attention to de tail. On Thursday ^evening the drama of "The Soldier's Trust" received here last season with so naneh favor, will be rendered.

Already there Is booked for January the following attractive list of entertainments at the Opera House:

CHRISTMAS AT PENCE'S HALL.

THE HEARTS OF ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CHILDREN MADE GLAD.

M,R. EDITOR:—Christmas being a holiday, end a time for merry-making and enjoyment, and bestowing presents among friends and acquaintances, and tbe time-honored custom of filling the little fellows' stockings .with toys, nuts, candies, cakes, Jcc., that bring joy to tbe household for the time, to those who have tbe means to do so, but there are those whose circumstances will not permit tbe expenditure of money to sans, and are sad in lookon tbe pleasures of their more

fng

irocure the means, and are sad ng on tbe pleasures of th favored neighbors. At Penoe's Hall, on

Cnristmas day, a scene was enaoted that had to be seen to be fully appreciated. Mrs. Anna 8tewart conceived the idea of giving a number of poor children something substantial for Christmas, and, with tbe assistance of seme of ber lady Mends, went to work, procured the material and made over an hundred pieces of clothing, suited to various sizes of children of each sex, and from among their friends and acquaintances had the means provided to give them also a dinner, and then to Insure order, and proper disposition of the goods and dinner, Issued the following printed card, and putting tbem each Tn an envelope, placed tbem in tbe hands of discreet persons in different sections of the city to be given to tbe poor children of their neighborhood, to be presented at the time and place: ?f INVITATION TO CHILDREN, BY ANNA

STKWABT.

GREETING :—The bearer of this Invitation will be entitled to enjoy the festivities and receive the gifts prepared and offered by Anna Stewart, on presenting this card at Pence Hall, at 2 o'clock p. m., December £th, 1879. By order of COMMITTEE.

At the time stated Penoe's Hall was a lively scene. Over one hundred and fifty children, from five to fourteen years of age, were present, and those having tbe matter in charge went to work distributing the articles prepared to those who held the tickets, as well as to those who had none who came under the rule. This took place in the large hall, and when about fifty were served with gifts they were placed in line and marched to the second floor, where a repast fitted for anybody was served to them. While they were eating, others were being fitted with gifts, and thus in their turn the whole lot was served with gifts and a good square meal, such as most of them bad not seen lor many days. All went off happy and cheerful, with nothing to mar the happiness of any. Much credit is due to Mrs. Stewart and her assistants for tbe admirable manner in which the whole matter was managed. It was a gala day for the children which they will not soon forget.

There was a hop at tbe hall in tbe evening, under the management of those engaged in the above festivities, and all went off in an enjoyable man ner.

Dr. Pence's parlors were magnificently decorated with beautiful and sub' stantial presents, and a happy union of friends and neighbors gathered to witness the bestowal of presents, as well as partake of some of tbe creature comforts of life too numerous to mention. Such was Christmas at Pence's Hall and house. INVITED Gftj-nsr.
