There was nover a Thanksgiving here in Terre Hauto when turkey eating was as universal as on Thursday last. That requlsito article for a real, old fashioned Thanksgiving dinner was sold in the markets at a much lower rate than ever before, and was thus within the reach of all. For some reason or other the turkey crop was unusually largo this year, and retailed here at from eight to twelve cents a |Kuud. at which prieo it is cheaper than beef.

THREE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL

A Ml'SEMEST XOTES.

Mrs. D. P. Bowers will appear at Naylor's Monday evening in the play of "Lady Audlcy *s Secret." Wherever this lady has appeared during the present season the press has been most lavish of its praise. The company surrounding Mrs. Bowers is composed of the best material at command, consisting as it does of Joseph Wheelock, for many years supporting the greatest stars and last year leading man for Clara Morris John A. Lane, last season with Salvini, and with the late John McCullougjh for seven years Mark Lynch, leading man for Joseph Haworth Rudolph H. Strong, last year with Mary Anderson Peroy Sage, last season with Rhea Donald Smedt, with Mary Anderson Sidney Bowket, formerly with Wilson Barrett William H. Young, last year with Robson and Crane, and with Ristori Misses Jennie Carroll, principal support for leading stars Fannie Gillette with Ristori during her last season in this country Alberta Gallatin, formerly with Rhea Helen Hosmer, late of Madison Square Theatre, making altogether one of the strongest dramatic companies on the road. "Passion's Slave," a spectacular romantic drama by John A. Stevens, the well known author and actor will be played Wednesday evening. We are told that it is a very strong play, with sensational climaxes and situations, a good comedy element, and of great interest, while the scenic effects are elaborate and striking. It is in the hands of a good company. Miss Gussie De Forrest,who plays the leading part, is an actressof great force and intelligence, and Mr. Barringer, in the opposite part, makes just as good an impression.

On the evenings of Dec. 6th and 7th the spectacle of "Fantasma" will be produced. The Pittsburg Dispatch says: "'Fantasma' Is a revelation or a mystery Ju«taH you take it—as a whole or in detail. As a whole it is a revelation of beauty, in detail It Is mystery Itself. The devil's dormitory Is a most fascinating and bewildering place. The transformations and allegories are Indescribable, because so brilliant and so oddly constructed that there Is no short way to tell what they are. The vanishing lady is the latest trick, and one of the best. Little Almee, said to be the smallest actress on the stage, personates a policeman, a swell and other characters remarkably well. The audience wanted more of her, but the management has limited her to one recall. Altogether, "Fantasma" is a wonderfully clever and entertaining show. People were turned away last night, and the house Is sold out for the remainder of the week."

There is troublo among the proprietors of McNish, Johnson A Slavin's superb minstrel troupe. McNish, whose brains and capital have had much to do with the company's success, will retire in May and organized for next season a company of his own, in which Dan Shelby, once of this city, may be a partner. "I am the only actress, I believe, who never wears a wig," said Miss Minnie Maddern, replying to a question, "and it is so comfortable to always wear your own hair, evan if it is red."

Frank Mayo has evidently at last found a play which is as great a success as was Ills "Davy Crocket," for, in "Nordeck," he is playing to immense audiences everywhere. He is also playing "The Three Guardsmen" occasionally.

Thomas W. Keene, although in perfecthealth, suffers from a paralysis of some of the organs of the throat which renders it impossible for him to articulate clearly, and entirely precludes his acting, and there is very little to encourage a hope that he will over again tread the boards.

Madam Modjeska is as much of a favorite behind the scenes as she is ip front. "The Man in the Streot," savs, in Tho Theatre: "Her audiences love and admire her as the most fascinating actress of her time, and the players with whom she associates almost worship her as the noblest and most lovable of women." She is, indeed, a credit alike to her profession and to her sex.

In the course of an interview in the Philadphia Times, Fanny Davenport aays: "Next Saturday night I get through at midnight. Then I pack up. Sunday morning at 7 o'clock I start for Detroit. I ride all day Sunday get to Detroit at 2o'clock Monday afternoon -have a tehcarsal at 3 o'clock, and play that night at 8. There's lots of hard work in an actress's life. A great many girls write to me and ask my advice about their going on the stage. I reply: No, girls if you have a happy homo, a father and mother, and enough to live on, stay at home. Don't lead the double life of an actress, who has late and early hours, and lots of hard work. A woman's place is at home. My father would not have wanted his daughters to go on the stage, only that he had a large family, and we, independent in ottr natures, wanted to push ourselves along. A great many girls go on the stage to gratify their vanity. They may have beauty and a little talent, and they map out a life of hard work for themselves.

The Holiday season is only a month away, and already Button A Co's Central Bookstore is filling up with the most desirable articles for gifts that can lie fonnd in town. In gift books and book* in sets the Central has the best collection ever shown. A very fine line of Albums has just been opened at lower prices than ever before offered. Merchants and business men will find at the Central Bookstore a fnll stock of Blank Books and Commercial Stationery of every description.
