AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The lily Clay hand of "females only" cavorted upon the opera house stage Thursday evening, and be it said for the credit of the city, to an audience very moderate in size. The performance was poor—artistically and otherwise—and those who left before the close of the performance, as well as those who remained to the end, will agree with the Indianapolis Jonrnai, which said: What is to be seen in the "Adamless Eden" may be seen in front of any butcher-shop in the city—a lot of undressed beef. There is absolutely nothing in the show bat its name and having once seen the collection of badly-battered relics that com' pose the company, there can be no won der that Adam fled. If this Eden ever harbored an Adam the best piece of luck he ever had was when he was bounced. The only redeeming feature, of the performance is its brevity.

CHRISTMAS DAT

The Bayse-Davis company, which has been playing to successful business this week, will close their engagement by giving two performances. Grand Christmas matinee at 2:30 and evening performance at 8. As the prices are only 10, 20, and 30 cents, everybody can attend The company is leally a meritorious one and is deserving of large patronage. The house will certainly be crowded at both performances.

HOLIDAY WEEK.

Manager Naylor has booked several attractions during next week that are new to this city. On Monday and Tues day evenings the eminent Irish comedian Mr. Chas. E. Verner, supported by Miss Annie Lewis, the charming soubrette and a good company, will present Fred G. Maeder's new version of Maeder & McDonough's famous Irish comedydrama, adopted from the celebrated poem, entitled "Shamus O'Brien." Courage, manly principles, patriotism and fidelity to one's cause through good report and through evil are virtues that we cannot choose but love—even when presented in merely mimic life. The play of Shamus O'Brien makes its ap peal to sympathy with those virtues and does not plead in vain—it reproduces the turbulent life of a very picturesque historic period—1794 to 1798.

THE NIGHT OWLS,

A burlesque company, appears at Naylor's next Wednesday evening, presenting a varied and interesting bill.

The Louisville Courier-Journal says: "One of the best performances of the sea' son was given at tne New Buckingham last night to a crowded house by the Night Owls Novelty and Burlesque Company. It Is decidedly the best burlesque organisation that has yet been in the house, and the olio is a good one. The burlesque is a travesty on Dtxey's "Adonis," in which Miss Louise Dempsey Impersonates the part of the handsome young man. Miss Dempsey is better than a handsome young man, for she is a strikingly handsome young woman, besides being a bright actress. She is an old favorite with Louisville audiences, but she never had as much applause as she did last night, nor looked as well. Her "Its English, you know," captured the honse.

All the girls in tbe company are remarkably pretty ana the burlesque is very richly costumed. The music Is pretty the statues are decidedly voluptuous, notwlthstandln the marbelized appearance of the figures, an the show went with a rush. In the olio Bobby Manchester and John Jennings in songs and dances made a hit. Lliae Mulvey and Belle Clifton did a clever sketch. May Howard was pretty and pleasing In her songs. A very handsomely costumed first part, a novel change act by five handsome women, an aerial act by Jutau and other features made up a remarkably good bill."

NEW YEAR'S DAY.

Mario Prescott, the celebrated aotrees, supported by a strong company, will give two performances at Naylor's on New Year's Day "Pygmalion and Galatea" at the matinee, and the grand Russian melodrama, "Creka," at the evening performance. Matinee prioes, 25 and 50 cents. Evening prices, 75, 50 and 25.

SIGNS AND PORTENDS.

When the crescent of the yoang moon rests supinely, its horns in air, it is a sign of dry weather, because in this position it holds all the earth. This is also a sign of wet weather, the explanation in this case being that a waterful moon is emblematic of a water soaked earth. Don't forget this sign of the new moon. It is rarely you will find one so impartially accommodating."

Whoever finds a four-leaved clover is generally a liar. It is so much easier to detatch one leaf from a five-leaved stalk than to hunt for one with four, that the temptation to mendacity is too much for average clay.

When a mouse gnaws a hole in a gown misfortune may be apprehended. This misfortune has already happened to the gown.

An old sign is that a child grows proud if suffered to look into a mirror while less than twelve months old. But what an average infant can see in the mirror to make it proud, is difficult for any bat its parents to understand.

A red sky in the west at evening, indicates that the next day will be pleasant, barring accidents of rain, snow and hail.

When you drop a knife and it sticks in the floor, it is a sign that some one is coming. If you area small boy, that some one may be your mother, and her coming be to remonstrate with yon with her slipper.

To dream of a wedding is a sign of inanition. To dream of a funeral betokens too much pork and cabbage.

To dream of finding money betokens that it is eaiser to dream of finding money than to work for it.

Tb dream that it Is Sunday morning is Heaven. To be suddenly awaken^ firpm your sweetest sleep to And that St is notSuaday Is—that is to say, very diasyseabla. It is a sign that yon will be nnhappy.

A great many more equally! infallible signs might be given, but ifcofeader has probably had enough. Tb*migt who believea in signs is auJSeenflif cctduloos to believe that our knowledge la that line, aa well as in every otherlUna^ is Inez* hausuble. si

TERETE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENIKTG MAIL.

WHAT'S IN A NAME? Hutchinson Daily News, Dec. 20.

(tOh,

South Hutchinson has another addition. "Blanchard's first addition to South Hutchinson" is the name of the new plat. We were a little surprised at the name of the addition, knowing that the 120 acre tract which the plat covers belonged to the Inter State Investment Co. As we were speculating on the New City, our genial townsman Mr. Leo Allbright, secretory of the company passed us, but he did not get far before we stopped him with the question "who platted the new addition to South Hutchinson "The InterState Investment Co." was the reply. "Well why is it called "Blanchard's addition, then?"

that's the name of it. There's lots in a name. Our company selected Mr Blanchard as its president, because of his energy, experience and ability, and while he has more than fulfilled our ex pectations as to each ef the above qualities, we find there is a certain unexplained charm lurks in his name that we cannot afford to lose sight of. It is common remark that 'every town that Ben Blanchard recommends, booms past all expectation.' Why, a party the other day remarked,

could afford to deed

Blanchard half my town site if I could only get him to lend his influence in its behalf.'" "What is the cause of all this?"' "As I said at first, I can't explain it. It seems he has a kind of intuitive knowledge as to where a city should be located and then he knows how to build one. If Ben thinks a town won't succeed, he won't touch it. You can't buy him." "So that's why you named it

(Blanchard's

First Addition' to

South Hutchinson. Better have it copyrighted." "Good bye." "Good bye. Every town needs its mascotte.

"ANQEL MOTHER'S CALL Besides the elegant souvenir already anndunced, Mr. Kussner is giving to all patrons of the Palace of Music, apiece of sheet music entitled as above, with the prettiest colored picture of a pretty girl we ever saw upon apiece of sheet music and well worth framing. —Musical Boxes, Music Portfolios and Rolls, Piano Covers and Scarfs in largest variety at Kussner's Palace of Music, Main street, between 6th and 7th. Sign of Golden Harp.

First Congregational Church. The annual meeting of the church and society connected with the First Congregational Church of Terre Haute will be held at the church on Tuesday evening, January 4th, 1887, at 7:30 p.m., for the election of five trustees and for such other business as may properly come before it.

Prompt Settlement.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Decemer 21, 1886. I take pleasure in stating that the loss on my machine shop and contents by the fire of last Friday evening was settled to-day by Messrs. J. A. Kelsey, state agent of the Insurance company of North America, and J. Irving Riddle, state agent of the Phenix Insurance Company of Brooklyn, N. Y., to my entire satisfaction, and I am free to say, I never received more courteous treatment in a business transaction in my life and cordially recommend my friends to place their insurance with Messrs. Ridale, Hamilton db Co., local agents for the above com panies in this city.

WHAT OUR BIQ MEN LIKE

Secretary Manning now subsists on a diet ef buttermilk. President Cl3veland is so fond of liver and bacon that he has it for breakfast every other morning.

Millionaire Marshall Field is very fond of buckwheat cakes, and can stow away as many as the next one.

Congressman Lawler always wants the "jackets" left on his potatoes. He is happy when he sits down to acorn beef and cabbage dinner with a cup of nice tea on the side.

When Postmaster General Vilas is in Washington he gets his lunch at a dairy lunch room, and can be seen nearly every day at the counter with a mug of milk in one hand and apiece of pie in the other.

TO TOURISTS AND TRAVELERS. A mechanic never goes to work without his tools. Neither should you start on a journey without being fully equipped bv always having a box of Pomeroy's Petroline Plasters in your knapsack. In cases of Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Backache, etc., when you are probably far from a doctor, tne importance of having a plaster at hand cannot be overesti mated. Pedestrians, oarsmen, baseball ers, cricketers, gymnasts, and all athletes wil find it a true friend. For relieving and curing Backache, Soreness of Chest, all pains and aches, it is simply invaluable.
