MINNIE PALM.GR. .•

Minnie Palmer, since she was last in Terre Haute has made a very brilliant tour of Great Britain and Ireland, wherein she met with the highest success, both socially and artistically. In London and all the principal cities of England, Scotland and Ireland, from the records of the journals of those places, she was the guest of personages of tho highest rank and a major portion of the brief vacation she took in London she passed at the mansion of Sir Henry C'Javering, whose guests she and her husbend, Jno. R. Rogers, were during their stay.

She will appear here next Wednesday evening January 23dr-^with a superb company in support, and theatregoers c-ui judge for themselves. The advance sale opens Monday morningat Button's.

THATCH KR, PRIMROSlV AND WEST.

One of the most popular features of Thatcher,Primrose and West's Minstrels, at Naylor's, Thursday Jan. 24, will be the reappearance of the famous and inimitable entertainer, George Thatcher, who, with Primrose and West, has the greatest minstrel company that has ever been organized in America. It will prove a highly popular and varied attraction. The company numbers over 50performers and everything is new this season. The company carries new scenery, now costumes and a budget of new jokes. A novel feature of this season is theShakespearean "first part," in which all the members of the company are richly and correctly attired to represent leading characters of Shakespearean drama. The members of the orchestra appear in armor, representing Harold of the fourteenth century. This has been generally pronounced to be tho most brilliant and unique spectacle ever produced on the minstrel stage. A feature of the entertainment is the grand review and drill devised and directed by Barney Fagan. George Thatcher has made an immense hit with bis new topical song, "I Hope it Won't Happen Again."

A scnsau nal item in tho programme is the latest and greatest European novelty in the Brothers Byrne, who were brought here directly from the Royal Aquarium, London, entitled "A Carriage Ride and itsMishaps." "Trick"furniture and a mechanical horse and wagon play quite an important feature in this act. Thatcher, Primrose and West will draw crowded hr»use Thursday evening.

MAN AS A REFORMER. A man told me yesterday that if ho was a women he would never cook,

I boil ham or cabbage, frit-

ters, fish or onions within the sacred home precincts. He would have eggs done to turn in exactly three minutes by the clock and not have the shells so hot that no man on earth could open them.

He would never take advantage of the graveyard hours of the night to go through trousers pockets for small change.

He would not ask a dry goods clerk to take down

every

bit of cloth in the store

in order to select two yards for an apron. He would never allow church socities, missionary enterprises, literary clubs," and other foolish female organizations to interfere with

the

domestic diversions

of mending, darning, patching and the like. He would hang an illustrated motto of "Charity Begins at Home" on the mantelpiece and reflect on its hidden meaning. And he would buy all his table supplies at headquarters, which is E R. Wright's big White Front grocery where to-day you will find such good things as Maple Syrnp, Dressed Turkey, White Clover Honey, Choice Sorghum, New Orleans Syrup,Honey Drip Syrup,Mince Meat, Apple Butter, Fancy Brands of Fruits and Vegetables.
