CHRISTMAS- TIDE.

To the good old times that oar parents and grand parents sometimes talk about the day of national tbanksgiving was what its name indicated. In name and reality it was a day for giving thanks and as such it was observed by a people who bad reason to be thankful tor the end of the hardships which they baden dared. Bat as the time passed on, the character of the day underwent a gradual metamorphosis. Those who enjoy the comforts of tbe present—with the wilderness cleared away and every modern divice of civilization at their disposal can scarcely realize the sense of thankfulness that animated our fore-fathers. So from doing homage to the Almighty the day passed into one of pleasing tbe stomach. Men rejoice to-day, not that an end to privations is at band, but that the day of days for the dinner of dinners has come around. And, indeed some men haye a right to be thankful for tbe opportunity of sitting down to a good square meal.

And is not Christmas undergoing a change of a similar nature? Tbe anniversary of tbe birth of the Savior, in how many people's hearts is it observed as such? It is certainly in tbe strict sense not a day of religious devotion—of re joioing over the birth of One who came to teach men tbe error of their ways and lead them from tbe sloughs of sin into the haven of salvation. It has become prominently an occasion for gift-giving With the coming of Christmas-tide the first thought is of preseuts and for weeks tbe busy wheels of trade are at work supplying the gifts that go out into the world to tell of love and friendship.

Yet, in its truest senee, the character of Christmas has undergone no change. It is tbe same to-day it always has been and it always will be a day when love is supreme and knocks at our door to beckon us to tho true life, to awaken in our lieartH the nobler impulses. Christ, they tell UH, came to save by teaching love and charity for when they are Supreme there is salvation. So it is with Christmas. Good feeling is uppermost. Our animosities are forgotten. Cheer sits by the hearth and good-will at tbe board, and more than on any other day do we do to others as we would that they would do to us. And In what fitter way than this could a people give their humble token of tho birth of One whoso errand waB of goodness, light and mercy? A merry Christmas may it be, now and always.

INDIANAPOLIS bandied tbe national Grand Army of the Republic encampment with credit, to the oity as a hospitable host, but there Is entailed a scandal winch is now being uncovered that will do much to confirm the popular impression held in Hoosierdom outside the city that Indianapolis is eminently selfish, even in its public enterprises. When the legislature was last In session there was an attempt to get an appropriation of $76,000 of the state's money to help defray the cost of, the encampment, on the ground that it would be a great thing for tbe state as well as the city, a species of reasoning that had become all too common with the majority of tha people in the capital city. The idea that tbe people of the state

at

large ought to help make In-

dlauapolls prosperous and great had often been put forward, and this demand, for it took on that charaoter as made to the law makers, exhausted the patience of the people of the state. Tbe money wan uot appropriated, and the oity was forced to depend on private subscriptions and money voted by the council. It seems that only $45,000 was needed for the occasion, so that there was a surplus of $12,000 of the amount contributed by individuals and the city council. Of this surplus $5,000 was paid to the secretary of the Commercial Club, who receives a salary of $3,000 a year, for his services as executive director of the entertainment part of the encampment. Indianapolis is protesting against this allowance, and the demand is made that the money be refunded to tbe contributors. The question with the people of the state is, what would have become of the #75,000 additional had the legislature voted the money? And, If it had been quietly distributed to the credit of Indianapolis men or)Institutions, would there have been an expose and sensation such as has followed the payment to the Commercial Club's secretary?

AMUSEMENTS,

HRHUMAN THK ORKAT TO-NIOUT. A

unique entertainment comes to Naylor's this evening In the "shape of the eminent pre«UdlgHatenr, Herrmann, aided by Mme, Herrmann.

CHRISTMAS ATTRACTION. The lovers of amusement in this city will be royally entertained at Naylor's on Christmas afternoon and evening, when that ex eel lent come dian and singer,

MAVOURNKEN.

Augustus Pitou's Comedy Company, introducing the young singing comedian, Chauncey Olcott, will appear at Naylor's opera house on next Thurday evening, December 28th, presenting the refined Irish play, "Mavourneen." This is the play that was orignally presented at the Fourteenth Street Theater New York City with Mr. Scanlan in the leading role. Mr. Scanlan's unfortunate illness terminated tbe engagement which would have continued throughout the entire year. Mr Pitou shortly after that put "Mavovrneen" on tbe road, and in his endeavor to obtain a suitable cast for the presentation of tbe play be selected Mr. Chauncey Olcott to fill the role of Terrence Dwyer, and his selection was indeed a wise move. Mr. Olcott is by far the best singing comedian on the stage to-day and ever since his first appearance with Mr. Pitou's stock company be has met with the greatest success. "Mavourneen" is a beautiful play and it has the advantage of a complete scenic production. The sale of seats opens on Tuesday, prices 25, 50, 75 and ?1 00.

CHIMBS OF NORMANDY.

A full dress rehearsal of this opera was held at the opera house Thursday night, and from every indication it will be tbe most successful, artistically, of all the musical productions by home talent. Reserved seats will go on sale on Tuesday morning at the Central bookstore, and it behooves you to be on hand early if you want a desirable seat.

CLARA MORRIS COMING.

Tbe engagement of Clara Morris, announced for Thursday January 11th, should prove attractive to all lovers of the standard drama. She is not only regarded as the most powerful actress in the country but her genius has made her name familiar whenever there is a theater. Miss Morris will appear here in her greatest success "Camille" and she will doubtless receive the plandits of an audienoe limited by tbe seating capacity of the theater.
