NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN. 5-

The roughness of children at play i» almost proverbial, and there is one family in Terre Haute to-day that will bear sad witness thereto. It ia that of Mrs. Ida Clements, of Dakota, who is Vvisiting her mother, Mrs. W. 8. Mahan.

One diy la»it week her six year old son accompanied his sister to school, and being unacquainted with the little fellows Tie met he was treated somewhat roughly, finally receiving a thorough "ducking." With his clothing completely saturated he went home and was seized with a severe congestive chill, which caused his death one night this week. While delirious he lay in his mother's arms and cried for her to keep the boys away from him. It is one of the saddest things that has occurred recently, rendered more so by the fact that the father is hundreds of miles away in Dakota and only knew by telegraph of his little 'one's sickness and death.

Did you notice that just as soon as it was announced that one of Uncle Ham's experimental weather stations was to be •established here, that the weather took a cold turn? We have been tolerably successful in getting our share of wintry weather, but now we may expect something Just a little worse. Why couldn't they let us alone in ®ur unsophisticated innoconce? Talking about the weather, the oldest inhabitant, who is a weather prophet from further back than way back—a prophet, indeed, from Prophetvine, Prophet county—calls to mind the fact that the lirst three days in December decides the quality and quantity of each winter's weather The o. i. doesn't investigate to find out why this is—he knows that it is, and that is sufficient for him. There aro a groat many persons who swear, figuratively speaking, by the predictions of the o. i. aforesaid, ami are busily increasing their visible supply of fuel while the prices are fairly reasonable.

That scorns vory sensible suggestion of Superintendent Lnwlor to the polieo board, Hint a tire alarm gong be placed in police hoadqunrtors, to announce there, as at the engine houses, the locution of the alarm box nearest tho fire, Jiy thut means, as he says, a detachniont of police could be sent to the tire at once, and render efficient aid to the tiremon. Particularly would this be the case in a tire in the business quarter, where theerowds assemble and very frequently interfere with the firemen in their work. We •cannot take too many precautions against fires, and no efforts should be spared— within reason, of course—to add to the already high efficiency attained by our tire department.

An Associated Press dispatch conveys tho news that a meeting has boon held at Salem, Illinois, by railroad men to discuss the proposed extension of the Central la A St. Genevieve railway to this ity. It is stilted if sufficient encourageI ment is given the extension will be I made. It has been some time sinco we have had a real, downright excitement over a railroad, and here is a chance to enthuse. The Southwestern has dropped out of sight, we hear no more about the extension of tho Wabash down the old canal bed from 1afayette, and now lot the Vntralia A St. Genevieve scheme be taken in charge. Uy the way, where does the A St. G. begin and where does It end?

The new board of county commissioners will meet on Monday, when Com-missioner-elect Henderson will take his seat, and for the first time for several years a majority of the board will be Republicans.

The ministers have not commenced their winter revivals yet, but in their absence the citizens of Terre Haute are being treated to a "health revival," services being conducted in several of the churches. A "health revival" U—well^ it is a "health revival."

The Oratorio Society gave the first concert of its course on Tuesday evening to a delighted audience, though it was not ao large as the members and the friends of this worthy organization could have desired. The next in the course will be a lecture by Prof. Scovill one week from next Tuesday evening.

In the programme for Gilmore's Band to-morrow evening are such sacred selections as Gottschalk's Nocturne Religuese, "The Last Hope," "Watchman tell us of the Night," "Ave Marie," "Nearer my Ood to Thee," "Hallelujah Chorus," closing with "Old Hundred." in which the audience will be requested to join. ____________ lr. Mondy. who moved from this city some eight years ago, was gored to death by an Aldorny bull, at his homo near Jewett, Ills., one week ago ltust Sunday. Ho went into tho lot with the bull, with a rod handkerchief about his nock, which angored tho animal with the result named. lr. Moudy was the father of Hiram A. and Daniel W. Moudy, of this city, and was much esteemed both here and in his now home.

Pat Mornn, of the nail works and at one time a student of law in Mr. Lamb's office has been vindicated, and his case illustrates how easily an innocent man may be convicted in a paternity case. It will be remembered that Moran was arrested and placed in jail at the instance of a girl who charged him with being the father of an unborn babe. After a brief confinement, he consented to marry the girl as the only way he saw to get out of the difficulty. Inunediallty after the ceremony he loft the girl and refused to live with her. In time the fact was developed that the girl was not going to become a mother, and Moran still claiming to be Innocent, petitioned to have the marriage set aside. This was granted by Judge Mack on Tuesday. Such a peculiar case has never before been known In our courts. -.*•

AMUSEMENTS.

For the coming week, Manager Naylor has an unusually strong list of attractions, such as demands the most liberal patronage of our people. To-mor-row evening Gilmore's remarkable band will appear in a programme partly made up of sacred music. The programme as published is brimful of musical gems, classical, select, popular and familiar. During the progress of the recent St. Louis exposition Gilmore's band fairly carried that city by storm. The St. Louis Republican had this to say:

It is difficult to give an idea to those who were not present of the enthusiasm the music created. Without any desire to disparage other musical organizations, it is certain that pie ever heard anything apexcellence of Gllmore, tne actually commands music from as if he directly

expression to his will, to become, severally, the parts of one grand organ whose stops ana frets he, and he alone, comprehends. It is in this way that the concentrated force of skill and musical genins is focused and made to tell upon the popular emotions.

The sale of seats indicates a large audience to-morrow evening. Seats can be secured at Button's to-day, and at the opera house ticket office to-morrow.

The world-famous Hanlons will be at Naylor's Monday and Tuesday evenings, with some fifty people, producing the spectacle of "Fantasma." The Hanlons have no rivals in their peculiar field, and for the invention of marvelous stage illusions and wonderful mechanical effects of the most puzzling kind, have no equals in the world. The Hanlons carry two special cars of scenery and effects.

Among some of the more important scenes may be mentioned: "The Realistic Cyclone," in which houses are unroofed, and doors torn from their fastenings and the entire village thrown into chaos "The Devil's Dormitory"—a scene the most marvelous ever witnessed on any stage, full of startling effects and illusions, being finally transformed into a semi-transformation "The Dance of the Spectres," "The Arctic Regions," "The Ice King's Defiance," "The Realm of Heads," "The Witch's Laboratory," "The Demon Forest," "The Rabbit Hunt," "The Incantation,"—all wonders of stage mechanism and ingenuity. There are four transformation scenes during the play, one of them, "Fantas ma's Realm in Fairyland," alone costing $5,000, and is the most gorgeous and costly scene ever presented on any stage. The Hanlons will also produce for the first time in this city, the great London and Paris sensation, "The Vanishing Lady." A newspaper is unfolded and laid on the stage, upon which an ordinary cane-seated chair is placed, upon which a lady seats herself, she is covered by a thin silk handkerchief, which is instantly removed and the lady has vanished amid the applause which follows this strange illusion, tho lady walks on the stage from one of the side entrances.

W. J. Scanlan is the Irish J. K. Emmet he is young, handsome, a clever actor and sings sweetly.'"-'Next Thursday evening he will present his picturesque drama of "Shane-na-Lawn," a love story of the Emerald Isle. The play is a correct picture of life in Ireland, atid does not seek to lower the Irish race in the eyes of the public. Mr. Scanlan acts the title role, and is the rollicking lad to perfection. He will sing his new songs,

Gathering the Myrtle with Mary," and Why Paddy is Always Poor," which have become very popular. Tho New York News says "Shane-na-Lawn is most interesting and full of life and action. It is capitally acted by Mr. Scanlan and his excellent company. The scenery and costumes are beautiful."

Rice's beautiful extravaganza Evangeline will bo the attraction at Naylor's next Saturday afternoon and night. Everything is new and bright. The costumes worn in Evangeline are said to be the handsomest and most expensive shown on the stage to-day. Evangeline will certainly prove to be a big drawing card for Saturday evening.
