It seems that Andy Grimes is not to get his seat after all. There is method behind it all, so it is said. There is no doubt that it was the original intention of the Democrats to oust Bischowsky. After the proceedings had been determined upon it was thought best not to seat Grimes. The reason assigned by politicians is that Grimes would hold over and vote for the next United States Senator. Thus far opinions agree, but beyond there is a wide difference. Senator Voorhees will be a candidate. If Grimes were a Senator he would find the anti-Tall Sycamore Democrats insisting that his vote should cot be cast for Voorhees. Voorhees' candidacy with Grimes in the senate would precititate a row of no mean proportions. Others as condently assert that Voorhees will not be a candidate in the hope of securing re-election, but will throw his influence to—but need he be named?

The Columbia club left for Washing ton Friday at noon in a special Pullman car. About twenty-five members made up the party. The club took with them three beautiful floral designs to be presented to Mr. and Mrs. Harrison and Master Bennie McKee. The largest piece was a ship set in abed of flowers and made in imitation of an ocean steamer. From the fore top mast a streamer labeled "For Benjamin Harrison" was flying in the breeze and from the aft top mast was another streamer labeled "From the Ladies of the Columbia Club.*' This design was made by Lawrence Heinl. Next largest piece was a bank of flowers, chiefly Marechal Niel roses and lillies, over which were two pure white doves, "for Mrs. Benjamin Harrison." This was designed by John Heinl. The third piece was a fancy design umbrella partially closed and filled with a profusion of the choicest flowers. It was labeled "For Bennie McKee," and was designed by Henry Graham. These floral tributes are the gifts of the ladies of the Columbia club, and were paid for with money raised by subscription by Mrs. William G. Davis and several other ladies. The party consisted of J. D. Bigelow, G. H. Hesler, W. C. Isbell, D. C. Greiner, N. Filbeck and wife, G. J. Hammerstein and wife, Hugo Duenweg, George Durham and son, John T. Staff, John C.

The Kirmess, given by St. Stephen's Guild at the Opera house this week, was a success in every particular, and was the most noteworthy ovent ever given by local talent. The programme consisted principally of dances, changes being made every night. Over eighty persons participated, among them being society favorites and all well known. From the time the curtain rose on each performance until the end tfre spectators were charmed and encored frequently. The grand march was prettily arranged, and was a gorgeous spectacle under the glare of variously, colored lights. The scenery was removed and tastefully deoorated booths were arranged in the space thus vacated. To attompt to give a description of the performance would require columns. The dances were excellently executed. Much praise was given to Prof. Oskar Duenweg for the careful instruction he gave the danoers until thoy were almost faultless. Prof. McDonald arranged the tableaux and materially aided in the stage management. He has had considerable experience in Kirmess performances. The minuet, danced by eight couples, was the stateliest. The costumes of the ladles and gentlemen were fine, and the presentation 'was an excellent reproduction of the court minuet of a century or more ago. The Greek dance was also greatly admired because of its stateliness and graceful movements executed amid the clanging of symbols. The Tyrolean .dance by young ladies was composed of beautiful movements, and the costuming was superb. The Dutch dance was difficult, but was a great favorite. Spectators aid not quite seo how the eight ladies could move so gracefully with the wooden shoes, and they were not satisfied until the dance was repeated. The Russian dance was also a great favorlto. The movements were spirited, the costumes striking, and each of the eight couples good dancers. The Chinese dance was the most comic of all and never failed to bring down the house. Tho Gypsy was danced with tambourines by nearly ascora of young ladies jin variously colored costumes. In the Flower dance Miss Elise Hudson in her solq parts made the greatest hit of the week. She is a beautiful dancer, and deserved all the lavish praise bestowed upon her. Miss Damond danced the Cachouca in Spanish costume, and was one of the greatest favorites of the week. The Dew drop and Mother Goose quadrille, by little folks, were pleasing and beautifully danced. The Three Little Maids were also a feature of the performance. Mrs. Helen Allen led the grand march each nltrht in Greek costume, ana performed the task charmingly and gracefully. Mr*. R. D. Digges, in the comedietta, "A Happy Pair," made a beautiful appearance and played her part faultlessly. Miss Emma Kantmann sang beautifully on Thursday night. "Torn Him Oat," a farce, was given on Friday night by Miss Kate Fischer, Mrs. John Hager, Adolph Gagg? James Russell, Ira Calder, and Mr. Hager and Mr. Kingsbury. All did splendidly.*

This afternoon a matinee will be given and to-night, aside from the dances, the Rev. Stanley, Mrs. Dan Davis, Mrs. Hager, Dan, Gabe and WUl Davla, Mrs. Gould, Miss Florence Iluf v, aod M!« Armstrong will sing. Mouu^y nis* —le Kirmess performers will gu to i-een-castle.

TEftKE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MATT*

A MU8EMENTS,

A LEGAL WRECK.

A Legal Wreck, Gillette's latest success, will be presented at the opera house on Thursday, March 7. It comes to this city with the indorsement of a successful run of 100 nights at the Madison Square theater, New York, and the same cast, scenery and all auxiliaries which combined to make the piece a success in the metropolis, will be brought here in their entirety. A Legal Wreck is a comedydrama with more than the usual comic vein running through it. The dialogue is crisp, sharp and original the characters are interesting and strongly drawn the story is told in a straight-forward manner and the incidents are characterized by a refreshing air of newness that is enchanting. The lawyer in A Legal Wreck is the very best expression of a learned bar. He knows that reason is the life of the law, yet Merriam, the lawyer, reasoning accurately from established promises, loses his case obsolutely and becomes the Legal Wreck. The presentation of the successful piece promises to be one of the enjoyable events of the present season, and will no doubt attract a large audience. The ad vance sale opens Wednesday morning ftt Button's prices, $1, 75 50 and 25.
