ABSOLUTELY PURE

AMUSEMENTS.

FLORENCE BINDLEY IN "THE PAY TRAIN. "The Pay Train" will be presented at Naylor's on next Thursday evening February 1st. It is a realistic comedy drama of the most pronounced type and will satisfy the desire of jthose who like sensational plays. In these days it is matter of conjecture what new thing will be attempted in the way of startling scenic effects by this class of drama, and it is justice to say that the attempts of "The Pay Train" are startling and effective, especially the railroad scene, with its spark-belching locomotive and train lit by electricity als© the incline scene and boiler explosion. It has a good story to keep up interest and allow the working in of the sensational features. The principal part, a dual character, that of Bessie Burton and Foxy, is impersonated by Miss Florence Bindley, one of the best sensational actresses on the stage. The rest of the company are up to the average. The seat sale opens on Tuesday morning, prices 25, 50 and 75 cents.

PETER JACKSON, THE PUGILIST. Peter Jackson, the famous colored pugilist, who is to battle with champion Corbett next June, will be the attraction at Naylor's Opera House on next Friday evening, February 2d, appearing here in Parson Davies' spectacular revival of Uncle Tom's Cabin. Peter Jackson will appear as Uncle Tom, and it is said he is quite an actor. He is assisted by an able company. Between the first and second acts Jackson and Joe Choyniski, the young Callfornian, will give a threeround boxing exhibition. In the plantation scene there will be buck and wing dancing by a company of talented colored people. The Oakland Quartette is also one of the features of the show. The company carry all their own scenery and effedts. Those who want to see a good performance of Uncle Tom's Cabin and also see the man Corbett is to battle with, should bear in mind that the seat sale opens Wednesday morning, at Button's.

THE WARDE JAMES COMBINATION. The engagement of the great tragedians Frederick Warde and Louis James announced for Friday evening, February 9th, promises to be the leading theatrical event of the present season. Frederick Warde and Louis James have made a greater impression during the present season, with their productions aud their company, than they have ever done before. Their organization is remarkable, not only from the strength of the two great stars, but on account of the merit of the individual members of their company.

NOTES.

Julia Marlowe's right name is Fanny Brough. Her father is a shoemaker in St. Louis.

Modjeska told a St. Louis reporter that she intends to retire from the stage in a year or so, and return to Poland.

Sol Smith Russell announces his intention of appearing as Bob Acres, Br. PangloBS, Caleb Plummer and Mr. Golightly next season. "The Laughing Girl" Company announced to appear here on Wednesday evening will put in the date elsewhere, consequently Naylor's will be dark on that night.

Lillian Russell is probably the best paid actress in America. She receives 15 per cent, of the gross receipts of "Princess Nicotine," now running at the Casino, in New York, and her share is said to have roacbed as high as $2,000 in one week.

The contest between theatre-goers as to selection of play for the Warde-James combination is becoming interesting. "Othello" and "Yirginius" are the favorites with "Othello" in the lead. Manager Hayman would like to hear from every one on this subject.

It is believed that Oscar Wilde will abandon the idea of writing a play satirising New York society, which he was to have written for the Empire company. His failure to come to America to see Rose Coghlan In "A Woman of No Importance" seems to be the foundation for this report.

Louis James said in the course of a recent interview that his dislike for tragedy was so deep-seated that he would forsake it at the expiration of his present contract with Mr. Warde, and devote himself to exacting comedy roles exclusively. "Tragedy is not generally liked north of Mason and Dixon's line," Mr. James said. "Comedy is, however, what draws the audiences in the north. And then, too, I always like comedy roles there is tragedy enough for me at best in life."

This cold snap will create a demand for shoes. Now a word from an old friend of Terre Haute's feet. I kindly advise you to go straight to the Palace Shoe Store and there get a good, stout shoe, and get 10 per cent, refunded You may inquire of every store in town and my prices will be as low, and even then give you 10 per cent. back. I can do it. I have the goods. I have the credit in buying low. I pay and discount. I will get back 5 per cent, by paying this same money to the factories, whose busy wheels and men are now making spring goods for this mammoth shoe store. T. J. GRIFFITH, Proprietor

Mitchell Didn't Run

From all accounts Charley Mitchell did not try to sprint out of Corbett's reach as be did with Sullivan at Chaotilly. He "took a whipping instead," as the boys say. But, whether running, jumping or standing still nothing is better for the feet than well made or well fitted shoes. A. H. Boegeman, 104 south Fourth street, has a full line of such shoes, and boots as well, and is selling them at reasonably low prices.
