A .""APER FOR THE PEOPLE.
MAN. ABOUT TOWN.
The good people of Sullivan are not at all pleased with the advertisement the town has had out of the Willis-Hultz tragedy. The talk about a lynching created a bad and undeserved opinion of the community. The Sullivan people blame "Hosey" Hawkins for a good deal of the bad repute. "Hosey" who used to be Sheriff of Sullivan county, and who now is United States Marshal, happened to be in Sullivan Sunday and he took charge of affairs at the jail when the people were excited over the assassination. Somehow the reporters told the story with the United Slates Marshall in the foreground and there the official appeared as the heroic officer over whose prostrate body the mob would have to pass to get at Lem Willis. Then •'Hosey" was interviewed and altogether he stirred up a feeling of resentment among his old neighbors.
Marshal Hawkins is not backward about coming forward on public occasions. Whon the Wise will case was being tried in Sullivan a local photographer wanted a group pleture of the celebrities in the court proceedings. General Ben Harrison
waB
one of them.
The Jury, the judge and court officials were solicited to stand in the group. When the photographs were offered for sale it was seen that "Hosey" was at the /ront. He was Sheriff Willis' deputy at the time and when the photographer asked the sherif! to buy a photograph the latter said that "Hosey" was the man to whom one could be sold. And, ho said it ill
a
way that moant a good
deal. It may be remarked, In passing, that Willis had been saying unfriendly things about "Hosey" for some time before the tragedy of Sunday.
Speaking of Hawkins' proneness for publicity, the Terre Haute "postoffice scandal is recalled. He was here as United States Marshal under Lamb's directions, the night Donhain broke into the office, ready, as he said in a interview, to respect Donham's call for assistance, holding that Donham was rightfully entitled to possession. The department, of course, did not uphold this view of the situation, and "Hosey" did not get to the front as far as he might have goue, and for which failure ho is now, no doubt, duly thankful.
When Dr. Wilson, of Fairbanks, ran away with Mrs. Scott a few months ago, the newspapers were filled with the story of United States Marshal Hawkins' pursuit of the runaways, the unthinking reader being led to believe that ho was acting in an offiolal capaolty. It is surprising, by the way, that there are so many persons who unwillingly come to believe an officer of the law has authority to act in any and all capacities. It was about the time of the Fairbanks sensation when Miss Grace Collins of this olty ran away. The newspapers then told how the police were engaged in the effort to find her, but by just what authority they would apprehend a woman of legal ago under the oiroumNtances was not made clear.
Colonel McLean is an applicant for the position of pension agent for this district whose headquarters is at Indianapolis. Colonel Zollinger of Ft. Wayne, who died Wednesday night, was to have been appointed. Soon after the election last November Colonel McLean was understood to be an applicant for his former position as deputy commissioner of pensions, but along came the announcement that all officeholders under the former Cleveland administration were proscribed. This put an end to his candidacy, but not so with Zollinger, who had been pension agent and who by some means had prevailed upon the president to reappoint him.
Colonel Thompson has finished writing his history of the national administrations, down to and including Lincoln's, and mostly from his personal knowledge. The colonel has taken part in sixteen presidential campaigns and has been personally acquainted with nearly ail the men who have been elected to that office. The history will, in fact, be more of personal reminiscence, sucb, too, as no other living man oould write. Before Colonel Thompson went to congress, 52 years ago, he had been closely acquainted with national affairs and men. There are but two wen living who wore in congress as far back as he. These are Wl nth rep, of Massachusetts, and Jones*, of Iowa, but both bad long slnc*» dropped out of public life when

Mr. Scott Maple of Sullivan, who is the leading counsel for Ex-Sheriff Willis, who in accused of the assassination of Lawyer W. C. Hultz, was in the cityyesterdry. He says the coroner has returned a verdict that Willis was the disguised man who slipped up on Hultz and emptied both barrels of a shotgun into bis body. A special grand jury is called for next week and there is no doubt that an Indictment will be returned. Willis has also employed ExJudge Buff and Lamb and Beasley and (Mr. Maple dlchnot say this) the supposition is that Senator Voorhees will appear for the defense. Willis has said he Is Innocent. The line of defense has not been deoided upon as the counsel have not had a consultation.
Mr. Ben Havens estimates the amount of money spent by Hoosiers on account of the World's Fair at not less than $6,000,000. This is based on an estimate of 200,000 visits, many Indianians making more than one visit. In the big register at the state building 150,000 names were signed, 95 per cent of which were by visitors from this state. That 50,000 did not register is beyond doubt. Thirty dollars is a low average lor the amount of money expended on each visit. It should be borne in mind that as a rule World's Fair visitors spent more money than they will acknowledge. Many went who felt that they could not afford the expense and they yielded to the temptation to understate the amount.
It
haB
been admitted on all sides that
no city has a better system of street electric lighting—when the lights are not out. The shortcoming in tbls respect has been annoying aad the wonder is that the city authorities, have waited this long before making an effort to force the company to give better service. The question is to come up before the counoil next Tuesday. There is talk of rescinding the contract but whether this can or will be done it is to be hoped that the result will be "more light on the subjeot."
Don't be alarmed when you observe that the phlegm you cough out of your throat is black. It isn't part of your lungs, as all catarrhally affected people believe, and all persons In this climate are so affected. It is caused by the coal smoke you have inhaled or swallowed. It is the same thing that makes your hands and face and collars and cuffa dirtier than usual. The atmosphere is heavy these days and as more coal is burned than in summer there is more coal smoke to be pressed down into your breathing space. A physician said that if an autopsy were held on the bodies of Terre Haute peopfe now all of them would be found to have blaok lungs.
It has been deoided toeleot Will Donaghoe to succeed the late Charles M. Warren as cashier of the National State bank. The election will take place next week when the annual meeting of tbe stockholders will be held. Donaghoe has been book-keeper in tbe bank for a number of years and is therefore thoroughly conversant with Its business and ita depositors. Personally he is the right man for the place.
It Is practteally assured that the eleven Indictments against Banker Beach will be nollied by the prosecution. This does not mean that all prosecution will be abandoned. The motion will not be made until after the new grand jury is called and other indictments are returned. A few months ago Man About Town hinted of his doubt that the banker would be tried on these indictments. Indeed it looked as if it wonld be foolhardy to clo so when other and stronger ones could be returned.

THEATRICAL DOINGS.
HENSHAWANDTEN BROECK IN THEIR NEW "NABOBS" ON NEW YEAR'S.-
Tke Favorite Bald win-Melville Company to Follow in Repertoire—The Great Clara Morris in "Camllle"—Ainusesaent Notes.
The theater-goers who will remember tbe first production of this tuneful opera here many years ago, with Emelie Mel ville, Zelda Seguin, Wm. Castle and Henry Peakes in the cast, and who were fortunate enough to hear it again last night, found in ita freshness and beauty that time cannot destroy. Aud with the memory of that production freshened in tbe mind, it serves but to empasize the success of last evening's performance. It was perhaps one of the most pretentious efforts ever made, by our home singers, as it was certainly one of the most successful, dramatically, as well as musically. It lacked tbe amateurishness that we have been led to believe is exclusively a feature of home shows, and there was an air of ease and abandon that belongs only to the professionals. The choruses were sung with spirit and in excellent time, the young ladies in them looking their prettiest, and the young gentlemen their manliest, and with their picturesque costumes forming stage scenes very striking in effect. 'Miss Lillian Nott, who made her first appearance before 0 home audience in a dramatic role, surprised her friends, and delighted them, by her ease and confidence. She displays much ability in the character of "Serpolette," in faot is as much at home in it EM if she had been playing it a season. She has a sweet voice, of good compass, that shows cultivation. If we mistake not, Miss Nott will be called for frequently hereafter in home entertainments.
Mrs. Geo. F. Westfall, who deserted a sickbed to take partin the performance, as "Germaine," strengthened her hold on the affections of the people, for she was natural and self-possessed and sang her music with much expression. She aoted the part, too, in a most acceptable manner.
John L. Davis, as the Marquis, looked as handsome as marquises are supposed to look, and sang his music as only a member of the Davis family can singperfectly.
Harry Raphael as Jean showed again that we have a• tenor here in Terre Haute the equal of the best, and one that can act as well as Bing.
x''
Gabe Davis, as the miser, has the most dramatic role
in
the entire cast, and
hiB
portrayal of it was something of a revelation. It was a piece of charaater work worthy of a professional, and his makeup was especially good. He was in splendid voice, and gave his musio in a style in keeping with his other work. Will DaviB did excellent work as the Balllle, while Budd Braman, as the registrar, Will Katzenbach as the assessor, and Chas. White as notary filled their parts capably. The latter was especially clever, and had a most comical makeup.
A very pretty feature was the May pole danoe in the third act, given by a bevy of pretty girls, whose neat work gave evidence of having been directed by Prof. Duenweg.
The stage management was in tfie hands of Fred Kessler, who evidently has had experience in that line before. Everything passed off as Bmoothly as if the participants had spent their lives in the business, and the oredit for this necessarily rests with the stage manager.
The orchestra was well bandied by Prof. Shrader, to whom much oredit is due for the smoothness of tbe musical work.
The first floor and family circle Were well filled last night, and should be crowded to-night, when the performance will be repeated. The rendition Is worthy of professionals^ and this, added to the excellent objects of tbe show, gives Ita claim on tbe patronage of our people.
HEJfSHAW A TKXBROKCK.
The "millionaires of fun," aa Hensbaw and Ten Broeck have been termed, will give two performances at Naylor's on Monday (New Year's Day), matinee and evening, presenting the new "Nabobs," which has been entirely rewritten by Wm. GUI, the author of "Adonis," "Old Jed Prouty" and "My Sweetheart," and is brimfnl of new sayings that are bright as sunshine and effervescent as old vintage wine. A large company of pretty girls and comedians make up tbe remainder of the fnnny people. Mr. Henshaw will be seen in the role of Howell I. Dodge, president of the Mosquitoville bank, while Sam Collins, late of the Black Crook company, will take the part of Barnaby Potter, Dodge's confidential clerk. Miss Ten Broeck will provoke
mmm
IMp wmm fit©
laughter as Zenobia Dodge, the amatenr stage managreea of operettas. Edith Newton, of the Ali Babi company, will impersonate Harriet Pelham, a searcher for histrionic glory as an opera bonffe, while Miss Marie Nelson will play the soubrette role of Squeensie, introducing her famous buck and wing dancing and legmania specialties. A half dozen "sweet girl rompers'* will engage in a terpsichorean revel, and altogether the play will be given with a startling dash that will tempt one's risibles to get tbe better of them. The seat sale has started off well at Button's, and those desiring good 8eats should secure them now. Don't forget the special matinee on New Year's Day.
THE BALDWIN-MELVILLE CO.
Miss Pearl Melville and the superb organization, the Baldwin-Melville Co., will open their engagement Tuesday night, December 26, at Naylor's opera house. The company numbers fourteen people, is the largest and highest salaried organization playing at popular prices, and has rightfully earned its title of the banner repertoire company. Their engagement will be for five nights, includ ing Saturday's matinee, with a change of bill each night. A repertoire of new and sparkling comedies will be the order of their stay here, and that each production will receive its proper attention and careful mounting is assured, as Walter S. Baldwin is personally directing the company. The company will present on Tuesday evening that great American and English sucoess, "The Black Flag." Ladies will be admitted free on the opening night when accompanied by one paid 30 cent ticket. The prices can be reached by all 10, 20 and 30 cents. Secure your Beats in advance at Button's. Now on sale.
CLARA MORRIS.
The engagement of the great emotional actress, Clara Morris, at Naylor's, on Thursday evening, January 11th, should prove attractive to all lovers of the standard drama. She is not only re garded as the most powerful actress of this country, but her genius has made her name familiar wherever there is a theatre. Tributes to her greatness are not confined to any particular class of people—they are universal. Among the journalists Henry Watterson says: "I never saw any ene so great." As playwright Dion Boucicault said: have great respeot for Modjeska, Sarah Bernhardt, Matilda Heron and Duze, but you combine all that was admirable in eaoh." As a manager, A. M. Palmer says: "I consider her the greatest genius our stage has produced." As an artist, Bernhardt says: "There is one great artist in America—Clara Morris she is wonderful." These expressions could be extended indefinitely. They only serve to illustrate the regard in which Miss Morris is held by those capable of judging most intelligently. Miss Morris \yill give her greatest success "Camille," and will doubtless receive the plaudits of an audience limited only by the seating oapaoity of the house. The seat sale opens Monday morning, January 8tb, at Button's.
NOTES.
Frank Paulding has acted the part of Romeo upwards of 800 times. Julia Marlowe is 26 years old and first appeared on the stage 14 years ago in Pinafore.
Tim Murphy, of "A Texas Steer," is going to star in an American comedy next year.
Charles Frohman has fourteen com panies en tour, oalling for the services of nearly 300 actors.
The Brooklyn Eagle says that the grave of Billy Florence in Greenwood cemetery is uncared for and unsightly
Mrs. George S. Knight, one of the famous Worrell sisters, it is said, contemplates going on the vaudeville stage.
Raymond Moore the sweet voiced tenor, is going starring in February in a new Irish comedy, called Love's Young Dream.
When the firm of Evans A Hoey is dissolved by the retirement of Mr. Evans, at the close of this season, William F. Hoey will pass under tbe management of Hoyt A McKee, who will star him, probably in one of Mr. Hoyt's plays.
Miss Eleanor Mayo, the daughter of that sterling actor, Frank Mayo, is just now the talk of New York. She has made the greatest kind of a hit in King Rene's Daughter, a new operetta. Miss Mayo is described as a beautiful girl barely nineteen years of age, and did not go abroad to obtain her musical education.
A,, I
Georgia Cay van has Teen answering Bome of the numerous epistles she gets from girls about the stage. She says: "Jolly is it? Jolly to sit alone in one's dressing room when not acting to go to one's hotel to sleep, to work, to rehearse and then to act again? Oh yes its jolly. As jolly as poor St. Simeon was up on tbe pillar."
Chas. H. Hoyt the farce comedy writer is witty to a large degree. He one day received a dispatch from a comedian whom he did not iike which read as follows: "Mr Hoyt:—I am desirous of playing the leading role in 'A Brass Monkey,' Mr. Hoyt aptly and wittily replied in a telegram of these few words: •You are alone in your desire."'
Some one who has been accumulating information, or making gnesses, or both, reports that about a thousand theatrical companies travel the country every year that they play seven times a week for forty weeks and take in $2,900,000 a week, or f112,000,000 a year. He estimates the somber of traveling performers at 15,000 and thinks that as many more persons are permanently employed in tbe theaters in which the traveling companies appear.
Tf J. Kern can't fit yonr eyes with glasses he will return the money.
