CHRISTMAS- TIDE.

Ia the good old times that oar parents aud grand parents sometimes talk about the day of national thanksgiving 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 had reason to be ttiaukful tor the end of the hardships which they had en dured. But as the time passed on, the character of the day underwent a gradual metamorphosis. Those who eujoy the comforts of the present—with the wilderness cleared away and every modern divice of civilisation at their disposalcan scarcely realize the sense of thank fulness that animated our fore-fathers. So from doing homage to the Almighty the day passed into one of pleasing the 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 the opportunity of sitting down to a good square meal.

And is not Christmas undergoing a change of a similar nature? The anniversary of thebirtb of theSavior, in how many people's hearts is it observed as such? It is certainly in the strict sense not a day of religious devotion—of re jolcingover the birth of One who came to teach men the error of their ways and lead them from the 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 presents and for weeks the 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 sense, the character of Christmas has undergone no change. It is the 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 hearts the nobler impulses. Christ, they tell us,

okidb

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 nits by the hearth and good-will at the 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 whose •rrand was of goodness, light and mercy? A merry Christmas may It be, now and always.

iNDiANAi^oitis handled the national Grand Army of the Republic encampment with erodit to the city as a hospitable host, but there Is entailed a scandal which is now being uncovered that will do much to cunftrm the popular impression hold In Hoosierdom outside the city that Indianapolis Is eminently seltlsh, oven in Its public enterprises. When the legislature was last in session there was an attempt to get an appropriation of $76,000 of the suite's money to help defray the cost oft the encampment, on the ground that it would be a great thing for the state as well as the city, a species or reasoning that had become all too common with the majority of the people in the capital city. The Idea that the people of the state at large ought to help make Indianapolis prosperous and great had often been put forward, and this demand, for it took on tliat charaoter as made to the law makers, exhausted the patience of the people of the state. The money was uot appropriated, aud the city was forced to depend on private subscript Ions 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 or the amount contributed by Individuals and the city council. Of this surplus $5,000 was paid to the secretary of the Commercial Club, who receive* 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 the contributors. The question with the people ot 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.

II El* KM AN THK ORKAT TONIOHT. A unique entertainment cornea to Naylor1* this evening in the shape of the eminent prestidigitatettr, Herrmann, aided by Mme. Herrmann. The principal part of Herrmann** entertainment constat* ot rare and all startling phenomena to which his own original and collective brain has given existence. The

feat*

of legerdemain performed ty Herrmann, the prince of conjurer*, are none the ordinary sleight of hand affairs id which the old theatergoers are aocustetned. His programme thlaaowKM is an entirely new one and include* some

of the greatest illusions that he has ever attempted. Among them may be mentioned, "After the Ball," "The Escape from Sing Sing," "The Mysterious Swing, or Here! There! Newbere!" In addition to the regular programme, Mme. Herrmann introduces the celebrated dances in which Loie Puller created such a oensation in Paris and New York, viz: tHe serpentine, the butterfly, La Blanche. Prices 25c, 50c, 75c and $1.

CHRISTMAS ATTRACTION'.

ner, will appear for the first time here in his new comedy drama, "The Prize Winner." Mr. Gardner will interpret his role of Karl, the prize winner, in the German dialect, and will sing six new songs set to music by Gustave H. Kline, the composer of "The Lilac." The plot of the new play reveals a wholesome story of love and devotion and selfsacrificing heroism. Not only has Mr. Gardner ample scope to display bis fine talents, but the other members of bis excellent company have strong parts to portray. Mr. Gardner will give two performances on Christmas, matinee and evening. At the matinee children will be admitted for 25 cents to any part of the house adults, 50 cents. Evening prices, 25, 50 and 75 cents. Seats now selling at Button's book store.

MAVOURNEKN.

Augustus Pltou'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 refiued 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 the engagement which would have continued throughout the entire year. Mr- Pitou shortly after that put "Mavovrneen" on the road, and in his endeavor to obtain a suitable cast for the presentation of the play he 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 he 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.

CHIMES OF NORMANDY.

A full dress rehearsal of this opera was held at the opera house Thursday night, and from every indication it will be the 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.

The 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 aotress 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 "Camllle" and she will doubtless receive the plandlts of an audience limited by the seating capacity of the theater.
