MjTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON HATTERS AROUND TOWN.

Terre Haute, which has a long record [f mysterious crimes, including such rotable ones as the Armstrong and Matmurders, has another in the disaparance of Caspar Link, an old and ecfntric man, who has lived in the southIn part of the city for years, accumulatproperty that is now estimated to be ^rth in the neighborhood of forty thound dollars. Link was missing from jis home one night last week, and since ic occurrence carne to the notice of the ")llQe the most searching investigation Jw/ failed to reveal the slightest trace 'Xiis whereabouts. The Link home-

But he is, just the same, this fact has set afloat some ugly taors, which, whether based on fact or

Jt, adds a deeper mystery to his disapfcrance. It is thought the old fellow hs either suicided or been murdered Id that his body is now in the Wabash, luich is only a few hundred yards from house. Whether this is true or not, certainly cannot be found, and his snppearance is furnishing the material a nine days' wonder.

As The Mail is being prepared for the press, tho Traveling Men's Association is assembling in great numbers for their annual meeting, and are liaving the most hospitable reception from our local "drummers" and the wholesale merchants and manufacturers of the city. The programme for the day embraces an address of welcome by Mayor Kolsem, at the opera house at ten o'clock this morning, a response by C. C.Webster, jr., of Indianapolis, a banquet at Dowling Hall at 4 o'clock this afternoon, and a dance at night. There are no warmer hearts than those which beat in the breasts of Terre Haute drummers and they are doing their best to entertain their visitors.

John Burke, son of our well known townsman Jerry Burke, met with a horrible death Thursday evening. He was a brakcuian on a train coming up on the E. A- I. As the train was pulling out from Loekport, he fell between the cars. As soon as he was missed the train men went back some three hundred yards and found his horribly mutilated lifeless body lying across one of the rails. It was wrapped iu a quilt and brought to Ryan's undertaking'establishment. He loaves a wife and ono child. Four of his brothers are railroad men. Michael Burke is a passenger conductor on the C. A- V,. I., William Burke, brakeman, C. A K. I., Jerry Burke, an engineer on the K. A T. If., and Thomas Burke, a baggageman on the Vandalia. Another brother, James, is a member of the city fire department.

We wonder if the daily newspapers— tho wonder is not expressed in a spirit of censorship—realise how often innocent hearts are hurt, sometimes very deeply, through the unnecessary publication of items of news, or the unnecessary flippant style in which items necessary for publication are clothed? If tho public only knew it, It doesn't ueed one-fourth the criminal news that it demands the furnishing of by the press, but so long as it seems to expect it, many an undue hurt to sensitive and innocent hearts might le avoided by a more delicate ntannerof noting the evil deeds. Now and then, for instance, a drunken sot is toyed with and made a subject of frequent- newspaper jest, deservedly, perhaps, if he alone were concerned, but very unjustly if the newspaper jester would stop to realise that the sallies of wit have no effect upon him, while they cut to the quick an innocent wife or daughter. The public demands the news. It Is the business of the dailies to furnish it. But would not the pnblic be satisfied with less heartless style than frequently, as the result of thoughtlessness, perhaps, characterizes the serving of news. The foregoing we clip from our namesake, the Des Moines Saturday Evening Mail, and it fits as well this locality and the views of this paper.

THE PASSING SHOW&^

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

Two nights of opera are to be given at Naylor's next week, and by the very best companies on the road. On Monday evening the McCaul opera comique com pany will present the military opera of the "Black Hussar." Says the Kansas City Journal:

Not since McCaul!. three years ago, woke up the town with the "Queen's Lace Handkerchief," has a comic opera been received with thp favor that was bestowed on "The Black Hussar," at the Glllis last night. The time and opportunity seemed to be ripe for this species of amusement, and the people turned out in full force from all quartersor the town. There is enough fascination in "The Black Hussar" to draw people a second and even a third time, and Millocker's music grows wonderfully on you. Many of the musical numbers are exceedingly tuneful, all of them exhibit the master's hand at harmony. The tmii tone song and chorus is the first notable number. Then comes the entrance of the Magistrate's daughters, and the ensemble which leads up to the prayer, and the waltz finale, one of the most striking and beautiful piecesof musical composition given in the rage of comic opera. The opera was finely mounted. Indeed, it was the most complete performance Kansas City has seen this season, and it is little wonder the people took kindly to it. As for the Topical Song. It would have run all night If trie audience could have had its way.

THE (iVI'SV BAnOS.

It is the unanimous opinion of the most competent critics, both in this country and in Europe, that "The Gypsy Baron," which will be produced by Conried's English Opera Company at Naylor son Tuesday evening, is the masterpiece of tho brilliant and prolific Johann Strauss. This is saying a great deal when speaking of the composer of "Merry War," "Queen's Lace Handkerchief,''

Prince Methusalem," and many other works, which have delighted lovers of music all over tho world ever since his first opera was produced in Vienna. Here is a sample mention from the New York Mirror:

The Gypsy Baron," as presented by the Conried Opera Company, at the Grand opera house, this week, is a magnificent performance, far exceeding any other we have seen, either at home or abroad. The stage setting is perfect, and must be seen to be properly appreciated. No words of oill's can fully describe the exquisite tone and design of the scenery, and the richness and accuracy of the costumes. The stage discipline Is wonderful to behold each one of the dense crowd of people employed on the scene appears to be a finished actor. No sign or token of the awkwardness usually inherent in chorus people is to be marked here, and the pictures are true works of art, formed though they be of living flguics. The military evolutions arc slinplv miraculous. On no stage have we seen an approach to the correctness and general perfection of the marches. The singing is extremely good. •IOCKKY MINSTKKr-K.iv..

On Wednesday evening the attraction at tho opera house is announced to be "a grand revival of spectacular female minstrels.-' Its character is revealed by the following from the Cincinnati Enquirer:

Georgia Melnotte's Jockey Minstrels are drawing packed houses at the People's The ater. The show is without doubt one of the strongest that has appeared here. Leonard and Mullen, the best Irish team now before the public, arc a card that alone can pack any theater. Their specialty is new, and these ontlemen can always rest assured that they 'lave made themselves Cincinnati favorites. Misses Mack and Dunn are two of the best serlo-comlcs that have been seen In this city for some time, and for grace and beauty these ladles have no equal. Rench and Kennedy are very funny, and, with their trained giraffe, are one of the best hits with this show, Another feature of this monster show is Miss Lillie Hamilton, the charming song-aud-dance lady, Justly titled champion wire,,, dancer on eart h. The first part consists of an entirely new idea—forty beautiful young ladles In jockey costumes, &c. ILeonard ana Mullen's funniest of all funny after pieces concludes the performance.

DR. MA AS' PIANO HKOITAL.

A number of gentlemen have assumed tho responsiblity of securing Dr. Louis Maas, a great German composer and pianist, for recital in this city, to be given at tho Presbyterian church, next Wednesday evening. Dr. Maas is ono of the greatest living artists and may be compared without prejudice with Rubenstein, Von Bulow and others. He is giving a series of concerts in the larger ities, but by a fortunate accident Terre Haute has been fortunate enough to socure him for one evening. Without question this will be the greatest musical feast offered to the citizens of Terre Haute this season. It is the purpose of those having the matter in charge, to turn overv any excess above the actual expenses, to the society for organization of charity.

Thursday'oveiling is set apart for the production of Chalmers C. Brown's play entitled "Margins," now iu rehearsal under the instruction of Mr. Robert

Tiierineau, who, as an actor of some forty years standing, speaks in very high terms of the production. To get an idea of the play walk tip Main street, just east of the Terre Haute House where Mr Marsh has pictured the most novel and interesting advertisement ever placed upon bill boards in this city. It is unfortunate that the weather is so cold, as half an hour could well be spent studying the various unique designs.

the

Chestnut street Opera house the other evening, so annoyed Miss Ward, who was playing in "The Queen's Favorite," that she paused, walked close to the box, and said in very sarcastic tones: "Perhaps we are disturbing these ladies and gentlemen. Shall we discontinue?" There was a dead silence, and then the play went on. There was no more chattering in that box the evening.

A dramatic journal prophesies that in the course of a year or two Sunday night

entertainments will be given at almost every theater in New York. Lectures, picture shows and concerts are given in many of them as it is, but a proposition to give plays on the one night in the week when actors hava any rest will meet with as vigorous a protest from the members of the dramatic profession as it will from the clergy and from those people who are not yet prepared for the introduction of "the European Sunday."

The New York Mercury states that Eliza Weathersby (Mrs. Nat C. Goodwin) is growing weaker as every day passes. When she returned from Europe lart fall, her physicians thought for a time that she was improving, and would ultimately recover, but for the past month she has been steadily failing, and it is feared now that she will not out last the winter. Mr. Goodwin is very much devoted to his wife and is only away from her bedside to attend to his duties at the Bijou. They occupy a flat in the Rutland, where Mrs. Goodwin's two sisters, who are also in the Bijou Company, live with them.

The veteran actor, Charles W. Couldock, will, if he lives until next May, celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of his life as an actor. When that day arrives it is proposed by Edwin Booth, Joseph Jefferson, and other bright lights of the dramatic profession to give the dear old man a testimonial benefit at the biggest theater in New York City that shall be an honor and profit to the actor. Such a benefit was given to William Warren in Boston, and it was an afiair so pleasant that the Boston actor will remember it all his life. Mr. Warren is a rich man, and did not need the money but the good will that came with it,did his heart good.

I was much amused, says an observer iirthe St. Louis Spectator, one day last week at a conversation which airs. Jessie Bartlett-Davis, the popular contralto, was having with a friend. "I don't like tenors," she said, in her jolly way. "They are all cry-babies. I thank heaven that the breed is dying out, and that the day seems to be approaching when Ave shall have none of them. There is Mr. Candidus, for instance. H6 comes into tho wings at night all bundled up, whining and fretting like a child,, 'Oh, my poor throat!' he says. 'It is criminal to ask me to sing when I am so wretched and sick. Oh, dear! how badly I feel! I wish the opera was over!' So it goes— every night the same whining and complaining. But the bassos and baritones are so different. Mr. Whitney conies dashing in from the cold street with his face radiant and his laugh merry. 'Ha!' he says, slapping his chest with a resounding whack, 'I feel magnificent tonight, Mrs. Jessie Bartlett-Davis. Watch me kno^k 'em out with that solo, trala la le li lay!' And he goes off to his room humming the air as though life was all sunshine. I have a little boy 3 years of ago, who sits up at the piano and sings —he says—as well as I do. If the boy turns out to be a tenor I won't own him !J'

Variety^ mataugera coruplain of the scarcity of good performers and the difficulty of getting hold of taking acts. They say all the clever peoplo are quitting the variety stage for the more pretentious places of amusement, and have left as successors a drove of obstreperous, ill-trained people, who have no idea of what is demanded of them as public entertainers. A few years ago the variety stage was chock full of talent, and prominent among the "teams" of those days was Mackin and Wilson. The latter is known as Francis Wilson, and recently he closed with the Casino management, New York, at $400 a week salary. "Wilson is believed by many to be the best singing comedian in America. With him in the variety business in those days was Gus Williams, W. J. Scanlan, Nat Goodwin, Harry Dixey, Minnie Palmer, Carrie Swain, and "Little Nell," otherwise Helen Dauvray. All these people, by study and application, have graduated into a better class of work, and it is the circumstance that the places they left vacant are filled by less capable people that puts the old variety manager out of patience.

ME Ml MASKERS.

FANTASTIC

One of the most enjoyable masquerade parties of the season was that given by Mr. and Mrs. Paddock, on north Eighth street, to their daughter Miss Anna, last evening.
