BUNION

TERRE HAUTE. LXD., MARCH 24,1894.

THE jury that acquitted Dan CoughJin, who was charged with the Crouin murder, will have many things to answer for by and by. Coughlin is now going on the stage.

THE circulation of the Police Gazette will doubtless be seriously affected while the Pol lard-Breckenridge case is on trial. The published testimony is nasty enough to please even the most de praved reader of that paper.

BILL NYE is going to retire from the lecture platform and devote his time to getting acquainted with his family. A great many others lecturers might follow his illustrious example to the entire satisfaction of a Buffering public.

A THIEI-' has been stealing money from the office of the Attorney General in Indianapolis. No such good luck as to have Green Smith ntoh«n from his office at the dead hour of night and dropped into imp^nntrable obscurity.

THE strictest eroH.w-examination of the plaintiff in the Pollard-Breckenridge caso diil not establish the fact that she is any more depraved than the defend ant, Hrecken ridge. In some com muni ties In the fur west, a man with the unblushing effrontery he has displayed in this case would have pecured for himself a very artistic coating of tar and feathers. Really, in the present case, it is too bad that some far west customs do not prevail in the ultra-polite society of Washington and Kentucky.

WHEN Mrs, Miacuman was appointed a member of the police board at Leavenworth, Kansas, the appearance of a woman in the chamfer of a police commissioner was made me occasion of a great deal of ridicule. She has, however, made her presence felt in a way that means oil for the town. She made such a determined fight against the low variety dives of that city that they have been compelled to leave, bag and baggage. Perhaps it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a woman on every police board. Variety dives are not the only evils they could go after.

THE tariff'bill reported by the Semite finance committee this week bears but little resemblance to the measure that went to that body from the House. It reduces some duties fixed in the lat tor, and increases others, the raise being made in the interests of those Senators who had announced their opposition to the original measure. It has been a case of "You tickle me and I'll tickle you," and it is not a pleasant re I lection that the tickling has been done ohiettv in the interests of distinctively Southern interests. The bill will probably labor through months and months of wpftry arguments with little assurance that it can pa^s the Senate in its present form, and with st'll less assurance that it can then pass the House.

THE Populist* have no reason to be proud of their three governors, Tillman, of South Carolina, Llewelling, of Kansas, and Waite, of Colorado. Tillman is engaged in enforcing his liquor law making the state a retail saloon keeper, and enforcing it in such a brutal, unprecedented way that he has become an object of contempt even to those who were his heartiest, supporters. Llewelling has had his party torn asunder ever since he took the gnbernatorial ehair, and in his fiiiht on Mrs. Lease descended tovilenessin attacking her character, Xow, aite, of olorado, has come to the front in a way that is not altogether to his credit. An officer of the law who defies the orders of the courts, sets a very poor example to the people who are expected to obey the law. It is to be regretted that the Denver citizens did not pursue their announced intention of having him mad® the subject of a commission in lunacy.

THE agricultural department of the government will secure a greater credit for usefulness than has hitherto been accorded it, if it is successful in securing the co-operation of the railroad corporations throughout the country in tbe good roads movement. It has eeut a circular t-o all the railroad presidents in the country ottering suggestions as to the best plan for furthering this commendable movement. Many of the railway companies have made concessions in transporting road materials, running from half rates to free carriage. Others have offered to carry the freight at the hare cost of hauling whenever a general road improvement is undertaken. The movement to secure good roads is of such universal importance that Congress can well afford to take the initiative in it. The movement should have the support of every political party in every state, and can well be endorsed in every po11*-1**1 pl*lform' *od

is aboot

the only thing that all parties fan well agree upon.

A THEATRICAL TREAT.

Modjeska In "Merchant of Venice"—W. H.

MODJESKA.

The Merchant of Venice, which Modjeska has given an exquisite and expen­

sive

revival this season, and which will be produced at Naylor's on next Wednesday evening, March 28th carries a kind of magic in its very name. The mere title must have disposed men in Shakespeare's time to expectant admiration, and so it still disposes us. In Andrew Lang's "Comments" he says: "If there be a place on this earth shining to the untraveled fancy like the delicate seagreen straits of sky between cloudy forts and palaces of gold and purple and amber which the sunset builds, it is Yenice." It is here that Shakespeare laid the scenes and action of his comedy "The Merchant of Venice." It is only fair to presume that if Shakespeare had visited the north of Italy he would have introduced a complement of local color with illusions to the Cathedral of St. Mark, the Bridge of Sighs, and other familiar historic spots. But Shakespeare deals with men aud women more than with localities, and he has only borrowed the magic name of Venice. The cast which Modjeska has brought to the interpretation of the characters is of the very best, and aside from Otis Skinner, who

In the presentation Mr. Crane will be seen as the Hon. Hannibal Rivers. His portrayal of the character is all that it should be, and is full of light and sha ie. He makes Rivers a good type of the bighearted, honest, persistent Westerner, who will not be thrown down and remain down any length of time. The presentation is being awaited with a good deal of interest. The advance sale ot seats for this engagement will open on Wednesday morning. Prices for the

TWO STAR ENGAGEMENTS AT NAY-. LOR'S FOR NEXT WEEK.

Crane In "The Senator"—Bob Ingrersoll

To-Niffht on "What Must We Do to be Saved "The District Fair" Coming. 1

There is but one Bob Ingersoll, be of tbe eloquent tongue, tbe magnetic presence, t-he winning personality and the rounded period, and he, the only, will lecture at Naylor's to-night on "What Must We Do to be Saved We may not all agree with Ingersoll in his conclu-' hions regarding religion, the future state, etc., bnt we must all agree that' his view ot such matters was never so ably presented as by him. The sale of

seats indicates that as usual he will be greeted by a large audience. A few. choice seats may still be had, and if you haven't secured yours make it a, point to do so at once.

a magnificent pre­

sentation of the character of Shylock, and who, unless all signs fail, iH destined to step into the shoes of the lamented Edwin Booth. Bassauio is in the hands of Guy Lindsley, Gratiano is given a superb enactment by Howard Kyle, Launoelot, has never been better playod of late ears than by Peyton Carter, and the Nerissa and Jessica of Misses Proctor and Durbin are among the unusually clever impersonations of the play. The advance sale of seats for this engagement opens on Monday morning at Button's. Prices, orchestra and balcony rows $1.50, dress circle $1 00, reserved in family circle 75 cents, admission to family circle 50 cents, gallery 25 cents, w. H. ORAN'E. "The Senator," one of the best of the American comedies, will be presented by the comedian, William H. Crane, at Naylor's Opera House, on Friday eveniug March 30t.h. The play is the work of Messrs. David D. Lloyd and Sydney Rosonfeld, and is in four acts. The curtain rises on the home of Silas Denman, in Washington. Denman has a claim against the government, and during the visit of Hannibal Rivers, a newlyelected Senator from the West, he explains all about it. The Senator is attracted by the beauty of the claimant's daughter, and, although he imagines she is in leve with an Austrian count in the diplomatic service, he determines for her sake to make the claim his own, as it is a just one, and have the Senate allow it. In act second the reception room in the house of the Secretary of State is shown. Rivers discovers that the Austrian count is a villain, and is about to elope with the Secretary's wife, a very foolish young woman. The third act takes place iu one of the Senate committee rooms, and is the big acting scene of the play. The Senator tights for the passage of the bill allowing the old man uis rights, and is harassed by scheming politicians and lobbyists. Justice,or at least the Senator, triumphs, however, and the claim is allowed. The last act takes place in the Senator's apartments. By a subterfuge he gets the count to visit him, and then proves to that titled "gentleman" that it would be well for htm to re«ign his portfolio and go home, so as not to create scandal. Rivers'happiness is made complete by his engagement to Mabel Denman. The play is said to be cleverly constructed. Some of its situations are extremely humorous, and many of the lines are witty.

THE DISTRICT FAIR.

A. Y. Pearson, whose "White Squadron" and "She" are well remembered here for their scenic effects, will present his new "The District Fair*' at Naylor's next Saturday night. It is a striking story of New England life, and has a racing scene that is the acme of stage realism. Seats will be on sale at Button's on Thursday.

If you make it a point to always call for a .blue label cigar when purchasing a smoker you could feel sure that you were buying union-made goods, and know also that you were patronizing home workmen. Why not follow this plan, and induce your friends to do the same, for if pursued by all smokers we would soon have hundreds of cigarmakers at work here at home, making good wages and spending their money with home merchants. Make it a rule to do this, and then stick to it.

Stop That Cough

1892

I had la

grippe, which left me in a very distressed condition with throat and lungs very sore and a bad cough. Nothing I used did me any good and 1 only grew worse till I was thoroughly discouraged. Fortunately a friend suggested a trial of Gulick's compound syrup of "WHITE PINE, WILD CHERRY AND TA R," and its use soon brought the needed relief. I therefore cheerfully indorse it as an agreeable and efficient cough remedy.
