THE PASSING SHOW.
SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.
Barlow, Wilson A Co*s minstrels had a rainy night for their return visit Wednesday evening, and the smallest audience that has gathered for a great while at a minstrel show. It is a good organisation, but much of the business being neoeeparily a repetition of the recent visit, made the entertainment, in spots, somewhat tedious. "Tbe World" was played to a large and well'pleased audience last, night. The beauties of the play are well known, for the reason that nearly all of oar ahow-going people saw it last season. Tbe realism of tbe scenery is at times quite startling. Few stage pictures have have won the amount of praise that has been lavished upon the raft scene, where the shipwrecked group are seen floating at the merey of the wavea in midocean, and where a vessel heaves in sight, answers their signals, puts about and bears down to their rescue. The hotel and asylum scenes are also very meritorious. The cast this season is greatly strengthened by Jamea M. Hardie, of the HoeyHardie combination taking the part of Clement Huntingford. He is a good actor, with tbe addition of fine personal appearance. "The World" be repeated this afternoon and again to-night.
For the Christmas holiday, afternoon and evening, we are to have the favorite comedian John Dillon, with Walters dramatic oompany, playing "States Attorney". This from the Omaha Herald:
Mr. Dillon is an old favorite with Omaha play-goers, and those who were present to see nini last night, fouad the old familiar voice, figure and gesture, that moved them to laughter in "Haael Klrke" and "Our Boys". As "Pilgrim Boggs", Mr. Dillon has ample scope for displaying his versatile genius and he improves it to his utmost. Ills part is that of a schrewd, eecenUic old limb of the law, always ready to do a good turn, but still keeping his eye open for fat fees, and not over scrupulous ifrhis manner of obtaining tliem. we have not the space to devote to for cast, but burlesque on the legal profession will find plenty for laughter in the "States Attorney.1
an jsxtended notice of the play or cast, but those who like to see a clever burlesque on will find plenty of food

Charles A. Gardner, the German dialect comedian, will on next Saturday evening present his comedy drama of "Karl," depicting a pure type of the German character.' The play is said to be good. The Wheeling Gazette says: "Mr. Gardner strongly reminds one of Joe Emmet in his variety business, and has tbe same rare qualities of voice." jfrank Mordannt will play "Old Shipmates" New Years afternoon and evening, and Janauscbek comes the night following.
Sol Smith Russell will bring his "Edgewood Folks" the evening of the 6th.
Charley Andersen, well known in newspaper circles here, is with the John Pillion dramatic:iparty which will be here Christmas afternoon and evening.
Charles A. Gardner's "Karl" comedy company rents the opera home and plays on its own account next Saturday evening, without sharing with Brooks A Dickson, the lessees. This is the first company to do so this season.
A to na and late breakfast wioh Mr. Gebhart in New York caused Mrs. Laugtry to almost miss her first engagement in Philadelphia. At nearly eight o'clock, however, she reached the theater unattended, and pushing the stage door open, introduced herself to the doorkeeper. The reputed "Lilly" appears to be growing more aud more indifferent to public opinion, and public opinion is certainly becoming -more and more disgusted with her.
Tbe Jesse James combination were not allowed by the authorities ta play in Adrian, Toledo, nor Battle Creak last week.
John T. Raymond asserts that be once heard a play read in which two rivals for the band of the heroine swallowed a slow poison and then threw dice for an antidote.
John McCullo^gbsays it's all humbug, the prevalent notion that face-paints, as used by actors, ever result to bleod potaon, and be exhibits his own clear and handsome phiz in corroboration of tbe assertion.
Mies Kffie fillsler has decided cot to accept an engagement from tbe Madison Square Theater for aext season, though she has sen offered one. In the first place, she baa told Mr. Dan Frobman she is sick of "Hazel Kirke" and believes that her time, if ever, baseame to star.
Billy Barry bad a dispute with one of his company in Boston, wbo drew a revolver. Upon tbe aight of the weapon Barry actually flew around tbe corner to a place of refuge. Upon being asked why be exhibited neb ungentiemanly haste, Billy replied: "I'm too good an actor, and am making too mneb money to get killed this year.*
Tbe Hartford Times, referring to tbe costumes in Bsaoaralda, says: "It would also repay many of oar Hartford dressmakers, in a business way, to invest a little money In theater tickets, aa they would obtain prettier and more varied ideas than they can get from Frescfa fashion plates. Then is a decided improvement In stage dresses within tbe last six months. Tbey are more refined and artistic, and have Um erode contrasts off color."
A New York correspondent asserts aa solemnly as if she were announcing the death of her favorite grandmother, that Putt "wears no underakirt* when ate sings in 'Traviata."

MRS. STEWARTS MEDIUMSHIP. To the Editor of The Mall: In your issue of last Saturday we saw in tbe editorial column a reference to a hasty and inconsiderate article published in the Medium's Friend, written by ita editor, George R. Moore, in which be expressed the opinion and belief that Anna M. Stewart, in a phase of medial power (of recent development) attempted to impose a fraud on him. In reply to your editorial, Mr. Editor, aqd to the public, we wish to say through your columns, had "Moore" been less nasty in jumj^ng at conclusions without evidence to justify suspicion, pushed his investigation further, he would have learned bis mistake by finding, as others have since, and all who honestly investigate may, that bis deduction was not sustained. Had Mr. Moore at his investigation, the only sitting bad and which was conducted in presence of other parties, intimated that fraud was suspected or had asked the privilege of a closer investigation, any reasonable demand, granted to others, would have been conceded to him. We have sent to the spiritualistic papers, for publication, a full exposition of the influence used on Moore—which caused him to do aa he did—and we don't care, Mr. Editor, to draw further on your columns, nor would we have asked this but for the wrong impression your editorial would give. In conolusion, Mr. Bditor, should those among your numerous readers, who are interested in Mrs. Stewart's medial power, desire to investigate, we wish to say that the door to her seance room is, as it has been during the laat ten years, open to them and that she will as before grant to the reasonable skeptic any demand made to investigate the phenomena claimed for her, or that of any particular phase of hers, reaching through from tbe tiny rap to the highest manifestation of spirit power known to

A MODEL SERVANT
The Extraordinary Demand of a Terre Haute Housekeeper.
How an Exacting Advertisement waa Answered-A Faithful Worker and a Pub* 11c Benefactor.
A few days ago a lady residing in the northern part of the city put the following advertisement in one of the papers:
WANTED—Aformhavewellpowerful
FAMILY SERVANT—Must
be of age and a arm must be of good be bait, and have an iron constitution must he a good worker and always willing must require no rest or sleep and never tire must not have a single vice or bad habit must never ask for a boll-
country eousins or other oompany: must never gossip nor hang over the Wtk fence must never need 4by doctor, and never never have fits.
This advertisement, with all its exacting requirements, fell under the eyes of of J.N. Hickman, at 304 Main street. "I believe," said he, after carefully reading the advertisement, "that I, and I alone, am the only person in the city who oan supply this lady with the perfect servant she asks for. The only servant that can fill all these requirements is the White Sewing Machine, and, indeed, had the lady been even more particular, the merits of that wonderful servant would still have been been equal to tbe demands.
So he answered the advertisement, the lady called, was convinced, and went joyfully home, tbe new servant being sent to her, bright and smiling as a
Eour
rincess in a royal coach and four, a half afterwards. This servant, tbe White Sewing Machine, is now at work in hundreds of families in this city. Mr. Hickman having supplied the needy to the extent of over FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. He Is enthusiastic over the White, end surely no one can blame him tbat he is so. as the wonderful machine meets all the following claims:
The white is the simplest constructed shuttle sewing machine made. The White is tbe lightest running shuttle sewing machine made.
Tbe White makes less noise than any other shuttle machine* Tje White h«s the largest space under the arm of any family maehine made.
The White nas a self-threading shuttle by which tension can be altered without removing it from the race.
The Wnite has a self-setting needle. The White has tbe strongest doublefeed (on both sides of the needle) of any family machine.
The White is adjustable in all its wearing parts. The White has the easiest workir treadle of any machine made.
The latest thing out is our new Automatic Bobbin Winder. The White is unsurpassed for durability.
The White has the most complete set of useful attachments of any machine. Tbe White is not only the nandsomest, but the best family sewing machine iv the world.
Besides this note its ease of operation, its almost noiselessness, its beautiful stitching, its wide range of work, its elegant workmanship and its general appearance.
The embroidery feature will commend it to everv lady in the land, as with this curious ll tle attachment the finest embroidery may be done in sofa pillow patterns, cnair centers, lace curtains, lambrequins—in short, any embroidery work one may desire. IT 18 A MAGNIFICENT HOLIDAY FHE8KNT. And yet in spite of its sood character, its neatness ana thrift, this busy little servant has not escaped slander. Malicious libelers have gone about chattering about "soft metal," "good while it lasts, but will soon wear out," etc., even going so far (to frighten purchasers) as carrying around bogus pieces and parts of the White made purposely soft, tbat they may whittle thein with an ordinary penknife. Beware of these miserable frauds, for tbey are fooling thee, and wonld filch your pocketbooks if not afraid of the law.
Tbe durability of the "White" has been settled by six years'thorough trial, and 350,000 machines in use on all classes of work, on every variety of fabric, in every quarter of the globe. The durability of the "White" is now demonstrated to be what has always been claimed for it, and our five years' certificate of warranty with every machine, answers completely the question of durability.
