AMUSEMENTS.

FANNY DAVKNPORT

IS "LA

TOSCA."

Seats have been selling rapidly for the engagement of Miss Fanny Davenport in "La Tosca" to-night at Naylor's

Opera

House, and the prospects are that Miss Davenport will test the capacity of the Theatre. She is one of the best and most popular actresess that visit Terre Haute and in "La Tosca" she has secured a play which is just now the very center of interest in the theatrical world. Everyone desiring to keep pace with the history of the stage will want to see Sardou's latest play and if reports elsewhere count for aught they will see in Miss Davenport's impersonation the very greatest dramatic work of her career. In view of her appearance to-uight as the heroine of Sardou's great play, the following analysis ot the gifted Frenchman himself, of his own creation may be of interest. Writing to Miss Davenport on the eve of Jber American production of the play, he says of "La Tosca:" "In literature her intelligence does not go btiyond love passages. Her lover has given her the new Heloise to read. All the philosophy of it tires her. She understands only one thing in the book, that these two lovers who profess aud analyze love a great deal but love but very little, in which she is perfectly igbt. Briefly, she is a woman solely a woman, always a woman, but a woman of that time, of that country and not at all of your time or country." t**.

A WKEK OF OPERA.

The popular Bennett & Moul'on comic opera company will be the attraction at Naylor's next^ week, commencing Monday evening with Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The company this season is much larger than ever before, being composed of over forty-eighj people, including their own select orchestra. Heretofore Manager Baker has had two Bennett fc Moulton companies on the road, an eastern and western compauy, but this season he conceived the idea of consolidating the two and as a result the chorus has beon enlarged. The principals are much better than ever before, and the operas are put on the stage in a first-class manner in fact, this company can and does give as good satisfaction as most of the more pretentious organiza tions traveling who laud to the skies one artist, perhaps supported by a lot of sticks, etc. Such is not the case with this company. While the leading people are all first-class artists more attention has been paid to bringing out the strength of the entire company, and by doing so the presentation of the different operas is pleasing to all. This Company are tho pioneers of comic opera at popular prices, and while they have aFWays pleased the people this time they will more than please—they will make people wonder how it is such a-splendid organization giving a round of popular operas can play at reduced prices. They are deserving of your most generous patronage, and as the prices—15, 25, 35, and 50—are within reach ot all a great many will attend every performance. The following repertoire will be given:

Robert Maeaire.

/Thursday—The Black Hussar. Friday—The Bohemian Oirl. Saturday matinee—Robert Maeaire.

Saturday—Chimes of Normandy. The leading people this season are: Miss Alice Johnson, Miss Irene Murphy, Miss Essie Barton, Mr. Joe Armand, tenor, and Messrs. Bigelow and Wolft, comedians. Each opera will be handsomely costumed. A march introducing twenty-four girls each .evening will be quite a feature.

Terre Haute is one of the few cities where Mr. Joseph Jefferson will appear in his coming spring tour, which is for thirty nights. Mr. Jefferson's seasons grow shorter year after year, and there is a great demand for his appearance everywhere. To cover the ground properly he is obliged to cover such important points as Omaha, Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Cincinnati, Louisville, NashVille, Memphis, Indianapolis, and Terre Haute only one night. Mi* Jefferson appears here on Thursday, May 16, iu Rip Van Winkle.

The Evan8ville papers say that the young ladies of the chorus of the Bennett & Moulton company a A the prettiest and most attractive that have ever played in Evansville.

Boccaccio, the opera wkich the Bennett A Moulton party open with on Monday evening, is one of the funniest operas ever put on the stage. It is full of pretty music. Bigelow and Wolff have lots to do in Boccaccio.

Last Monday evening the Juniors of the R. P. I. tendered a banquet to the Seniors at tbe Terre Haute House. The table was laid with twenty-five covers, in tbe smaller dining hall, and was handsomely decorated with flowers and smilaz. At each plate was* placed a bunch of white violets and a card bearing the name of a guest. The latter were very prettily gotten up by Tsuji, of *90, and bore the name of the guest in Japanese as well aa in English. Upon the menu cards, which were intended as a souvenir of the occasion, waa printed a list of toasts and the names of the members of tbe two classes. Eleven courses were served. Mr. Putnam, president of W, was toast master. His address was entertaining. Mr. Hammond, president of responded in a bright speech. Other toasts were: Washington, Engineer and Sktrveyor.

extemporaneous remarks. Among these were: Terre The Terre Haute House and Mr. Baur, Manager The R. P. and Least Squares. Mr. Rosenfeld kept the company in roars of laughter by his tender tribute to the faculty. MeKeen proved his ability to pass a civil service examination on the tariff question. Wiley could find nothing in his subject to enthuse upon except that the soup which the ball team is in was not served as the second course. Only an R. P. I. man could appreciate Morford's remarks. Tsuji, as he said himself, was last but not least. His speech was very witty and In it he gave a whack at each one of the eight civil engineering students present. During the evening music aud songs enlivened the occasion. Messrs. Thompson, Collett, Hes* and Hendricks gave solos on the guitar, harp, piano aud banjo. The Senior string a uartetle gave foretaste of what they will furnish class day. Headi icks and McKeen played a duet on the banjo and guitar. After a stag dance the lights were extinguished while Mr. Hess took two llash-Pght photographs of the scene, which will make a tine souvenir of the occasion.

The Vigo county Sunday school convention met yesterday morning at the Central Presbyterian. Mrs. J. W. Watson, a noted Evangelist, is in attendance. The Rev. J. B. Cc/nnett delivered an addrosson "Teacher Training." "Primary Class Teaching" was the subject of Mrs. Lorrimer's paper, and the "Teacher Preparing the Lesson'' by Prof. Sandison. At night a temperance meeting was held, addressed by Revs. Kittly and Hollingsworth aud Prof. Waldo. The Centenary quartette, composed of Mr. and Mrs. Dan Davis, Miss Ida Ensey, and Mr. A. G. Adams, with Mrs. Adam$ as organist furnished the usic. ..

Goodman Hirschler have developed a wonderfully large trade in their merchant tailoring department. For the past few years this popular house has been steadily building up its business. This .year's trade is very much larger than last, six more tailors being employed. Even with an increased work ing force they are rushed wl|h orders and are crowded with work.
