IT is suggested that, until the prevailing vaoduation epidemic is over, pedestrians should agree to turn to the left, instead of the right, and thus avoid collisions injurious to the left arm.

OBITUARY.

JULIANA BUTTOW was born De­

cember 10,1806, at Whiting, Vermont, and died at Terre Haute, Indiana, January 13,1882. She was married to Mr. Jacob Button, November 28,1827. Mr. Button, who is kindly remembered among us, died In October, 1874. They moved to Alton, Illinois, in 1840, and after a residenoe of about one year, returned to Vermont. They resided in Iowa from 1859 until 1885, when they came to live in Terre Haute. Both joined the Baptist church in 1828, at Wallingford, Vermont, and ware baptized by the Rev. G. Williams, father of J.H. Williams, Esq., of this city. To them were given eight children, five of whom are now living, Mr. O. E. and Mr. J. Q. Button, Mrs. F. Bartlett, Mrs. E. B. Grover, and Mrs. F. Keyes.

Mrs. Button was a woman of the best New England type inflexible in principle, keen and strong in her intellectual life, faithful to her family, unconquerable in will, cheerful and hopeful in the presence of obstacles, uncomplaining and patient under terrible physical suffering prolonged through years, and pious toward God.

There are some passages of her selection which indicate the deeper sources of her strength of character: "Have faith, and thy faith shall, sustain thee

Permit not suspicion and care With invisible bonds to enchant th^e, Bat bear what God gives thee to bear

But By fear of—what never occurred."

And often, it seems, was she cheered by this thought: If we will but catch the glimpses

Of the glory of Heaven here, There would be more sunnhine than shadow, And a Joy for every tear. And I think as I look forth,

There's no home so good as God's Heaven, When I leave my home on His earth," Tls only a moment God chastens with pain Joy follows on sorrow like sunbeam on rain. Then bear thou what God on thy spirit shall lay Bednrab, but when tempted to murmnr, then pray."

As she quietly left behind her the pains of earth, she gave to her friends and children the bravest, kindliest test! mony of Christian love, hope, and faith, and sweetly fell asleep. Whittier's song of trust in the divine Savior seemed very precious to her. "I know not what the utnre hath

Of marvel or surprise, Assured alone that life and death God's mercy underlies. And so beside the silent sea

I wait the muffled oar No harm from Him can come to me On ocean or on shore. I know not where his islands lift

Their fronded palms in air I only know I cannot drift Beyond His love and care."

THE sale of seats for the Emma Abbott opera will begin on Monday at nine o'clock.

DURING the hot dry month of July last a well known business house of this city, placed an order with the manufac tnrers, at St. Gall, Switzerland, for 5,000 pieces of Hamburg Embroidery, which goods reached here and were opened on the 8th inst. Such enterprise speaks volumes for the increasing business of that firm. An advertisement in this issue speaks of these goeds.

THE PASSING SHOW.

iPLAYS AND PLATERS

Our people do not seem to have entirely recovered from their holiday dissipation and amusement, managers have not played to the usual profit since the new year started In. Perhaps, though the execrable weather is much to blame.

Gus Williams played to a small audience Monday evening. It was as good, though, as the play deserved. Mr. Williams' specialties are good and he is too good an actor to waste a season on such a literary abortion as "Wanted—a Carpenter." He had better advertise "Wanted—a Play." Kav

The largest audience since "The World" wss presented here, was that on Wednesday evening to see "The Professor," a bright, breesy play, pure and wholesome in tone, with lots of pretty girls elegantly dressed. Mr Gillette, the author, who plays the title role, and does it well—reminding us of Sol Smith Russell—has made a happy hit, and invented something entirely new in the comedy line. Some of the work is unnatural, and may be overdone, but it scintillates with bright flashes of wit and humor, funny conciets and pretty pictures, is played by a thoroughly excellent company, and as a whole it is a cheery, dashing comedy, thoroughly enjoyable "for one nig^t only!"

There was much good music, many laughable situations, comic talent of high order and lots of "fun on the Bristol" at the Opera House last night, and the "cuttings up" of the talented little party was heartily enjoy by an audience of •fair proportions.

WATUKDAY

On Monday and Tuesday evening, Jay Rial's company will play, at reduced prioes of 25,35 and 50 cents, the popular drama of "The Two Orphans." The Philadelphia Press ssys: "Jay Rial's company has proved itself worthy of its claim to the title of 'Ideal.'" The Phildelphia North American says: "The company is composed of splendid material." The Toledo Blade says: "It has many features that place it ahead of all similar organizations." The lu-v prices of admission should attract lar^c audiences.

Emma Abbott—"Honest Little Emma"—born 'midst the most

sur­

roundings, her early life a continual hardship, and now winning the greatest triumphs on the lyric stagp, solely as the result of persistent courage and unfaltering ambition—will appear here on Wednesday afternoon and evening at the head of a superb opera company, whose names are given in the regular announcement. In the afternoon, tne taste for light opera will be gratified in the rendition of "Olivette," and at night the tragic opera of "Lucia, Bride of Lamermoor" will be given. The Boston Folio says: "Within the past year, Miss Abbott has improved to a degree that surprises even her warmest admirers, ana has wort a roally cordial indorsement from hitherto unrelenting critics. Like Gen. Grant in the rebellion, she never knew when she was whipped, and has kept the

pegging away at her work during seasons, and studying hard during summers, with an industr an industry knowledges no weariness. How much thm means may be indicated by the fact that she has never missed an engagement, and scorns the weakness of purpose which permits so many singers to take refuge in 'illness' whenever an ungratified Whim prompts them to take re venge in a non-appearance.

Miss Abbott's voice is richer than ever in its singular purity of tqne, magnetic sweetness and dramatic power, charming every one by the steady even qualities of her vocalization in the prosier portions of her work, and fairly olectrifying her audiences in the arias and bravura passages. Each year of experience has Padded to her dramatic strength, and while her acting has lost none of the earnestness and vivacity which have always so charmed the beholder, she has acquired a certain repose which enriches and refines her impersonations, and wins the plaudits of even the most coldly critical. "On Tuesday evening she appeared in 'Lucia di Lammermoor,' which has been accounted one of her best impersonations, and gained a right royal recognition by the brilliancy of vocalization and the realistic dramatic work, Madness runs in no groove, and is controled .by no culture hence ita conterfeit can be judged by no fixed rules but in her study of its various phases as exhibited by girls gone mad with love, she has combined and averaged its manifestations to a degree that renders her interpretation strikingly like nature and far above the vapid ravings of the usual mad actor.

The engagement of Steele Mackaye's combination for Friday and Saturday evenings is probably off, as the advance agent has not yet shown up. "My Partner" will be played here on Monday evening, the 23rd, Alvin Joslin" the 24th, "Evangeline" the Saturday evening following, and "Rooms for Rent" on the last night of the month.

W» H. Gillette, who played the "Professor" Wednesday evening is a nephew of Henry Ward Beecher and an old schoolmate of E. 8. Bertram, of this city.

Express: Jamea Delaney and Joe Tracy, two yonng men of this city, will leave in February to play several engagements in different variety theaters. They do a double trapese act, said to possess unusual merit.

Edward Hayes and Charles Roes, of this city, will leave in April to fulfill a season's engagement with Sells Bros', circus. Their specialty consists of a con tartton act.

Indianapolis Tiootil: Charles McGeachy, manager of "The Professor" company, telegraphs that 1,800 people witnessed the performance at Terre Haute last night, and standing-room was at a premium.

Carolina Riehinj^ ^ernard, the actress and singer, has the small-pox, at her Ihomein Richmond, Virginia.

ETOMG-

Mr. W. J. Seanlan, the Irish eomedian, ended his connection with "My Geraldine" company at Adrian, Mich., Saturday evening. He will go to New York, and expects, in two or three weeks, to produce at the Windsor Theater his play, "O'Dowd," which has been rewritten by Mr. Bartley Campbell.

The stage has lost by death during the past year the following well-known persons: H. L. Bateman, Edward A. Southern, Mis. Anna Maria Hall, Francis A. Durivage, Henry Hunter* Thomas S. Hind, David Whiting, Mrs. W. R. Blake (Caroline Pladde,) Charles Dillon, Samuel Emory, Joseph O. Sexton, John W. Carroll, and Mrs. Edwin Booth (Mary F. McVicker.)

The religious welfare of Green vuie, Ala., is jealously guarded by the Beho. A new theatre was to be opened with "Richelieu," and the cautious editor, while admitting that the play was regarded as tolerably moral, felt it his duty to add: "We are so utterly ignorant of everything in this line, having never informed ourselves upon the subject, that we are entirely unable to make any positive assertion one way or another. This notice was allowed to enter our columns with the express understanding that we are constitutionally and religiously opposed to theatres. We have only announced—all go at their own risk."

THE- ROSE BEQUESTS.

THE POLYTECHNIC TO BE OPENED NEXT OCTOBER.

THE ORPHAN ASYLUM TO BE BUILT IN THE SPRING.

THE MEDICAL DISPENSARY FUND875,000 CONHOIDATED AND READY TO AE APPLIED.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal had a talk with Josephus Collett afew days since in regard to bequests of the late Chaunoey Rose, and thus writes to his paper: "For five or six yean past nothing has been said, so far as I have observed, about the institutions in this city, which were provided for in the will of the lste Chaunoey Rose. The reason is, there was really nothiog to be said. But now the situation is such as to bring the subject within the field ef journalistic news. For years the traveler on railrosds coming into the city from the east has been attracted by a new and beautiful building on the borders of the town, which moved his curiosity to ask what it might be. The answer was the Rose Polytechnic Institute and that was ail. There it has stood, imposing, silent, unoccupied, useless. It is to-diy the finest and best college building in the State. In design, complete in finish, of choice workmanship it) dimensions, ample. Years Bince I stood on the rostrum of its beautiful chapel, and in imagination heard the echoes of fiophomoric oratory, and saw the gay pageantry of commencement day. Bnt no Btudent has ever yet mounted that rostrum trembling ot the knee*, nor any graduate mareta? grandly up to take the hardearned roll of sheepskin, tied with a satin ribbon.

The main boilding as it stands complete has cost $81,000, The heating apparatus, the shops for machine work and other apportenances hare swelled the smount already expended to over $100,* 000. Why has etery thing stopped and come to a standstill for so long? I asked a citizen of this city to day, and he said be gaessed "they would never do anything more with the concerb and he manifested about the average interest of the people here, so far as I have discovered, in this great undertaking. But I had the good fortune to reach the fountainhead of information, the Hon. Josephus Collett, who is, with Mr. Nippert, executor of the Rose will and president of the board of directors of the Polytechnic. He readily explained the situation, and gave the facts, which are of Jdcep interest, npt to this locality only, but also to the whole State of Indiana. First, as to the delay of starting the Bchool. The property left by Mr. Rose and bequeathed for noble purposes to this city consisted very largely of^ lots and real estate in various shapes which couid not be made available without a sacrifice that would almost extinguish the valus of tbe beqoest. So the wise financiers waited while the funds were accumulating and till the property coald be advantageously. converted into cash. That time has come. The funds hsvs been gotten together in valuable form and will be applied as speedily as poesible to their several objects. There is now in the hands of the Polytechnic Iostiute and ready for application the large sum of $400,000. This includes money sufficient to buy sll experimental apparatus in science, tools for shops aud a full operative outfit without touching the original endowment fund on which the income depends for running expenses. It is the fixed purnoee of the board to make this, as Mr. Collett expressed, the best school in the State of Indiana. The president, when selected, will be a first-class man, qualified by learning and experience to the conduct a school of science and mechanics such as this will be. The search for this importsut bead of the instituticn has begun, snd some psrties not mentioned by nsme, hsve already been consulted. The fsculty will be selected with equal care, and every professor will be a master in bis department The school will be opened next October. Toition will be free to all students resident in Vigo oounty, of others tuition fees will be required. Of course, a great school can not be built-in a day, no matter what money and facilities are provided. But in view of the vast demand for scientific and mechanical education, and of the enlightened, broadminded men composing this board, it Is likely that this school will early take high rank among tbe best institutions of the land. The Orphan Asylum building will be started in the soring. The Board of Directors have on hand, now ready for use, to build and endow this institution, $800,000.
