[JS'OTES

AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTER8 AROUND TOWN.

The "key-note" has heen sounded in the local political fight, which may now lie said to be "on." Senator Voorhees, «x-Senator McDonald and Mr. Lamb jointly sounded the aforesaid "key-note" at Dowling ball on Tuesday evening, before a large audience. Philip Schloss was president of the meeting, and there L^was a list of vice presidents as long as one's arm, each of whom received a polite little note the day of the meeting informing him that the honor had been conferred on him. There was nothing particularly new in Senator Voorhees' speech, but he could deliver the most common-place speech and make it interesting. What a matchless orator he is!

Little wonder it is that Mr. Lamb was anxious for him to open the campaign here, in the hope that he might be able to win back the members of tho party now engaged in the fight against the Democratic nominee. His eloquence has aroused enthusiasm in the party ranks tnany times heretofore, and can be relied upon to do so this year. The only troublo will be that the party ranks will not include a great many who were there two years ago. ...

The speoches of Voorhees, McDonald •and Lamb wero the first public acknowledgement that has been made of the opposition. It has been tlie policy to publicly ignore the opposition, no matter liow much it may be acknowledged in private. But Tuesday night all that was wald concerning tho Congressional fight was to tho effect that those interested in it would rogret their work at some time In the future. It was not a threat, but rather a plea for mer?}'.

The man who discovered tho "chicken utory" about John Lamb must have been pretty hard up for 110ws. Even if wero true—and very few believe it—what sort of an argument would that be against a man's fitness for Congress. A man's public rocord and ills moral character are legitimate subjocts for discuseion when tho man asks for tho support •of his party—but what difference does it mako whethor lie takes sugar in his coffee, or eats with his knife or fork. Let tis havo no more chicken stories in this tsampaign. If tho Republicans had no bettor argument than this thorp might bo tho shadow of an excuse—barely a shadow—for its use, but as it is there can "be none. _____

It is said the Light Infantry will probably bo disbanded at the meeting Monday night. Tho members havo made an •effort to arouse tho military spirit among our young men but without success, it has died out completely, and it will bo many a day before it can be resuscitated.

Tftrre Haute may not ha«eenough base ball enthusiasm to support a tvltib, but «be can boast of several players who havo mado enviable records away from home this year. Among these are Will Nelson and Will Snyder, who havo just returned from Lincoln, Nebraska, where they played with the Western League club and became very popular. John Hendricks was also with that club for awhile. Al. Myers, another Terre Haute plnyer, is distinguishing himself with the Kansas City club, and will rank away up «*mong the second basemen, asjwell as in batting. There are a number of young players hore In Terre Haute who are developing considerable skill in this lino, and it will be strango If we do not furnish several other professional players In another year or two. Managers are continually on the lookout for likely young players, who generally play for the "bringing out."

Quito a good story is printed in a Kan*as City paper of tho experience Nelson and Snyder had with a country club near Lincoln. Two country clubs had Ijeen playing a series of games, the same club losing every time. The friends of the losing club did not lose faith but kept putting up their money regularly. Tho last gamo was yet to lie played, and the manager of the weaker quietly slipped up to Lincoln and ongaged Snyder and Nelson, the Iieague club's strongest battery, to take part In the game. Then he went back, gave his frionds a tip, and began to bet. The other club having wo a every gauie he had no trouble in getting great odds* and by the time the game began every cent in the possession of the hitherto-winning club was at stake. Rut the eyea of tho visiting club were opened when they began to strike at Nelson's curves and found that some way or other they couldn't get to them. They were olther too close or to far away, and when the game was over twenty-three out of twenty•even had struck out. They had been iono up in the latest approved fashion, ami In consequence thov walked home that night. This was something like the scheme the old Sycamores worked on the Marshall Rockets here several years ago. A professional pitcher and catcher from 8t. Louis assisted the Sycamores, and the catcher by snapping his Angers made the umpire believe the batter had made a foul Up, and the game was nearly over befote the rurally discovered the acbeme that bad been worked on them.

At last the Illinois Midland has been Mid at public sale. The purchasers direct are Wall »treet speculators, and It la claimed they represent the Bee Line inmrotitw, although this Is denied. The Midland ought to be one of the beet paying roads In the country with the splendid country tributary to it. Once ont of

the courts, jith an active management —such as tttt of D. H. Conklin—it cannot fail become a good property Three mostjxcellent railroad men from Terre Hans-—A. E. Shrader, O. E. Shrader anqWaller M. Strange—are in the general jfflces of the road at Decs tur, and it iito be hoped the change will not throw tfcm ont.

The Passing Show.

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

This evening at Naylors opera house that brace of popular comedians Murray and Murphy, supported by a capable company, will present their three-act absurdity entitled "Our Irish Visitors." The authors claim no literary merit for the piece, but they do claim it introduces to the audience a number of clever actors who show their versatility and make lots and lots of fun for the audience, with a good deal of clever dancing and singing sprinkled through the play and plenty of comic situations to make the fun continuous. If you want a good two and a half honr laugh, drop into the opera house to-night.

Bill Nye and James Whitcomb Riley will entertain us again on Monday evening at the opera house. Those who have heard these well-known gentlemen—the one noted for his inimitable humor and the other for his poetic genius—need not be told that theirs, as a humorous literary entertainment, is superior to, anything moving about the country.

The Maid of Belleville, which has recently enjoyed a long run at Chicago, will be presented at Naylor's on Friday and Saturday evenings of next week. The New York Times tells us that:

The Maid of Belleville is a three-act operetta, by Millocker, the composer of The Beggar Student and The Black Hussar. The story is one well adapted to musical treatment, and the character of coy Virginia, the pretty maid of Belleville, is worthy of an accomplished comedinne and songstress. There was Alice Harrison, as young, fresh, and roguish as ever, who kept the house in an

by frolicked like a kitten, and danced like a ratic vas by a newcomer, Mr.°Frank* David, who* made an unmistakable hit. The operetta was well staged, and there were many pretty faces in the chorus. Millocker's music is bright and agreeable.

Chicago will havo seventeen theaters when the New Windsor Theater is opened. This is the highest average for population of any city in the world. _•

The actresses seem to be partial to the name of Lillian. We have Lillian Russell, Lillian Spencer, Lillian Lewis, Lillian Stuart, Lillian Conway and Lillian Langtry.

Nym Crinkle reports an actress as saying to him: "There is a great deal of old-fashioned, chivalric respect for virtue on the stage. I wish there was more of it in the audience."

When the Doxey Music Hall, at Ander son, Ind., was opened for the season two hundred complimentary tickets were distributed by the managers with a partiality that angered the citizens and the newspapers, and the result is a boycott on the hall, which is proving very effective.

Mr. Edwin Booth's tour, thus far has been a very great success. Last week he appeared in some of the large Michigan, when the prices Vere ftuvanced to $2.50

The old land marks along the river in the north part of town—tho scenes of such bustle and activity in the old pork: packing and flat-boating days—are fast crumbling to decay and disappearing. The rivor has so undermined the hoop factory near the water works, that it was abandoned on Monday, the workmen considering it unsafe and refusing to work there longer. The machinery a\i11 be removed to some other locality.

The cool evenings will call into existence nutnborless progressive euchre parties, this amusement promising to he more popular than ever this season. The giving of expensivo prir.es is generally condemned, and will not bo followed to any great extehV.

The members of the Trotting association are actively engaged working up the races for weok after next. Promises have been received from horsemen that indicate that horses will be here which can beat 2.15.

They are greatly encouraged by the owners of horses entered there and expect nearly all of these stable* to be brought here after the Si. Louis races next week.

York tlelegram of September

While the orchestra was playing the prayer from "Rienzi" in the Louisville Music Hall the other day a vigorous baby struck in with a lung solo right in one of tho most delicate passages. Conductor Damrosch stopped the orchestra and sat down. When the little one had been quieted he remarked that while it was a good thing to give children a musical education, there was such a thing as begining too early in life. Then he resumed his baton and the prayer was repeated.

At a performance of Lester A Allen's minstrels in Williamsport, Pa., on Wednesday evening of last week, during the first part the cornet player, Fred C. Btyaht, suddenly stopped playing, walked to the front of the stage, and began a wild speech, which scared the minstrels and the audience. The curtain was lowered and Bryant calmed down at length so that he went on with his work and played finely. He explained to the audience that his head felt strange and that he didn't remember what he had said. He apologized and said that he would try and go on with his part. The affair completely demoralized the troupe, and the performance was cut and hurried through.
