MAN ABOUT TOWN.

There were but five failures to pass the holiday examination at the Rose Polytechnic this time, which i* the smallest number in years. Tbis includes the examinations in all classes, of which there are ei«ht or ten, the years being divided Into divisions. The fr®shman class usually has many more failures than the total for all classes this year as a result of the test of the first bal year in the institute. In 1893 about half the fresh man class did not return after the holidays. It is held by some persons that this severe course has bad the effect of diminishing the attendance at the school. The freshman class this year Is small, and the theory is that the reputation established by the dropping out of students has served to prevent others who might have entered the inntitution, from undergoing the ordeal. It is said that while it establishes the high standard of the school it defeats the purpose of the founder who intended to educate young men and not provide a shifting process by which only the most capable are to be educated. A member of the faculty said that the explanation for the few failures to pass the examination Is to be found in the fact that more care is taken now in the admission of students in the first instance. If the young man is re celved as a student now he is quite like ly to go through if he devote himself to his work. ______

The slang term for failing to pass an examination at the "Poly" Is "flunk." The professor to whom I refered told me be did not know the origin of the term. It Is college slang there is more of it and the amount is constantly increasing. A few days ago while hearing a class, housed a word in good form and whioh was expressive, whereupon the class broke into laughter. He told the young men that he supposed they had some slang use for the word which conveyed an entirely different meaning to them, and he "let it go at that," A few years ago a young man went to his home at the holiday vacation and left a request with a Terre Haute classmate to telegraph him if he passed the examination. The Terre Haute student learned that his friend had passed and sent this message "You are in the 8wim."= The mother of the young man opened the message and wt»s dumbfounded. Impatiently shs awaited Jaer son's return from a day's visit in a neighboring town and when he arrived asked him what it meant. "Why, mother," said he, "that means that I didn't flunk," and the mother knew less than before she asked.

Evangelist Boyer, who was here at the Christian church for several weeks has kicked up a row in Greenoastle by sayiog that the only true religious be lief is that of his ohuroh. The pastors of th» other denominations in Green castle do not care to take issue with him but they ha*e asked the reguar pastor of the ohuroh where the revival servloes are being held, If he and his congregation subscribe to Mr. Boyer's utterances. When the evangelist was here he attracted much attention by his street attire. He was always dressed as if for a ball room. There was a wide expanse of shirt front and his hair looked ss if it had been wired so that it would stand out straight from his head to make more prominent its inky blacknesa. He was perfumed. Yon were aware you had passed him for a block afterward. He filled a street car instantly upon his en trance with the odor of his pungent perfumery. Most persons mistook him for a successful small-town tragedian.

Months ago when It was first proposed to open Ohio street over the Evansvllle Terre Haute tracks Man About Town said the undertaking was a bigger one than the projectors seemed to under•und and that the city would find that it had run up against a stone wall before it got fairly started in the prooeeding. There was talk about the way to open the street being to open it, as Horace Greeley had said the way to resume speoie payments was to resume. No aooount was taken of the powerof the railroad oompany to cause protracted litiga tion nor of the inability of the olty to pay the damage* that might be assessed in the event of a speedy and successful prooeeding under the law for condemning property for street purposes. Nor was there any thoughtof the probability that a very large number of the property owner* would be called upon to pay assessments for benefits to their property. That it Is all wrong that a olty like Terre Haate should bp oat In two— divorced, so to speak—there Is

BO

ques­

tion, bat the reoonollemsnt of the oondl

Yh? *V**% -*.£,?•»

tions is another matter. Now that the olty commissioners nave indicated that a veryJarge amount of property will be assessed for benefits there is not the same impatient demand tor prooeeding with the opening acoordlng to law. It had been generally supposed that the only property which would be assessed Is that abutting on the crossing. The net result is that the viaduct plan which was rejected spme months ago is now in favor. _____

If the running race meeting is insisted upon you may look for war. Already there are threats that forebode an acrimonious controversy.

The best news of the holiday week is that the "Cox boya" have secured contracts that will cause the oar works to be operated at full capacity after February. The plant has been greatly enlarged, and the latest improvements In machinery have been made. This is sn institution of which all Terre Haute is proud, and the owners and managers deserve the greatest measure of success. They met with serious difficulty, but not only have they pulled through but they have eome out of it in better shape than before, with ho one the loser. We are too apt to run off after strange enterprises and forget those that have been with us and whose prosperity is Terre Haute's gain, all of it. At the time the new distllieties were first talked of the publio was surfeited with statements of the good they would do for the industrial life of the city, but little, and only little, was said—and that In the shape of perfunotory expressions of sympathy ant good will—for the car works. The distilleries were to give employment to a few hundred men and make a market for corn. Two of the distilleries are not to be operated, and one reason is that it would make too good a market for corn and force the one distillery that Is in operation to pay the farmers a better price for the cereal. In the meantime the "Cox boys" have gone on rebuilding their plant and paying their creditors, and now without any loud proclamations of what they will do for the city they are soon to give employment to a thousand men.

Isaac Strouse, who puioti«sed the former "Cent Store" from I. Fecheimer, and removed it from south Fourth street to 422 Main sireet, 'made an as signment Thursday to Mr. Fecheimer. Poor business (taring the past year is given as a reason for the failure. The assets are estimated at $6,000 and the liabilities at f7,000 Mr. Strouse came here from Moline, 111., in 1893.

The Opera House has been engaged for the nights of January 10th, 17th, 18th 20th, 21st and 22d by the ladies of St. Stephen's church, for the Klrmess, which will be given in much the same style as that of several years ago. Be hearsals are being held daily, and some beautiful dances have been arranged, under the direction of Prof. Oskar Duenweg.

The Wabash Cycling Club will hold their annual bare and hound chase on January 1st, at 2 p. m. Start will be made from the club rooms. The bares will be Will L. Krletensteln and Rude Stuckwish. There are nine fine prizes offered.

Miss Edith tJastie, who is now attending the Boston Conservatory of Music, will return home during the coming month, and it Is expected will give a concert at the Opera House, in which she will be assisted by local talent.

The pupils of Hermann Leibing will give a musical soiree st the Wulschner Music hall, 640 Main street, Monday night. They will be assisted by Messrs. A. Q. Adams and E. F. Colberg.

RETURN PERFORMANCES OF TRILBY BY THE EASTERN COMPANY^

Xteantirnl Souvenir* to Its Given Kaeh Nl(t!t~ Jolly Nellie MeHenry i» New Play, "The Bicycle Girl"- James O'Neill,

Friday Ntfftat, In Monte Cri«*o—Not®#.

The final performances of this year will be given at Naylorfs opera house next Monday and Tuesday evenings, and to make the event a notable one the msnsgement'has arranged with A. M. Palmer for the appearanoe of his big eastern "Trilby"company, which played Boston one hundred nights and New ¥ork one hundred and thirty nights The "Trilby" of this organisation will be Miss Mabel Amber, who was so long associated with Nat C. Goodwin's oompany ss his leading support. On the occasion of this return engsgement of

Trilby" every lady occupying a re served seat for either or both performances, Mondsy and Tuesday nights, will be presented with a oostly and beautiful all ver Trilby heart and lace pin souvenir, given by Trilby herself (the beautiful Mabel Amber) at the opera house en trance eaoh evening. These handsome souvenirs will be on exhibition at Buntin's drug store, where reseived seats can also be had. Notwithstanding the great expense attending these souvenir performance** there will be no advance In prices. Another novel feature announced by the management of the Trilby engagement Is, that the perform ance will not begin Tuesday, New Year's eve., until 8:45 o'clock, in order that "Trilby" can play the old year out and the new year in, and at 12 o'clock, midnight, the curtain will be lowered, no matter during what acene in the play the hour is struck, so that the theater parties and frieuds in the audience can wish each other

41A

Happy New Year."

Immediately after this joyous event and the greetings have ceased the curtain will again be taken up and the perform ance conoluded. This will be a genuine surprise and one of the greatest nbvel ties ever seen in this city. Arrangements are in progress for a grand choruB and orchestia to give the "Star Spangled Banner whioh, if consummated, Miss Lizzie Annendale will represent the God dessof Liberty. 1 ais wilj positively,be the last opporlanily to see "Trilby" in this city. All the beautiful costumes, soenery and original music will be used in this production precisely as it yrgs given in New York and Boston.

JOJILIY NELLIE M'HENRY

For the New Year matinee and night (two performance*) the management will offer farce comedy. The theatrical purists have had it that, if farce comedy was not already dead, it was dying, but when one sees the immense audiences that the better of these farces draw to the theaters where they are presented, one cannot come to any other conclusion than that it seems to-day to be just as popular an entertainment to the masses who seek amusement through the medium of the theater as it ever was. "The Bicycle Girl," a cycle farce com edy in which Jolly Nellie McHenry, a favorite soubrette, is the chief enliven ing figure, is no more exception to this rule. There is a great deal of catchy music, excellent songs and color an£ life in this particular farce. Miss Nellie McHenry iu this class of a play is not an unknown quantity at producing laughter. She has long been one of the most popular figures at stage mischief making before the public. She has probably appeared more continuously in farce comedy than any other actress in America, having begun in that line of work some fifteen years ago, when she played the leading soutaett6 role in one of the first plays of this order {rat upon the boards, called "Patoh Work.0

This season she comes in her new play, "The Bioyole Girl," expressly written for her by Louis Harrison. It is a farce comedy with a plot whlch^fa expressed by its title, and acoordlng to all accounts met with much greater success than any other stage production to which Miss McHenry has givenqfbsr vivacious presenoe. Seats are now^On sale at Buntin's. Prices: Matlne*, 25o, 60c and 75c children, 25c to all parts of ibe house. Night, 25c, 50o, 75c, $1.00Hw

MOTKS.

Charles H. Hoyt's ne*v work, will be oalled "A Comio Opera." James O'Neill is justly called the silver-tongued aotor. He has an ideal stage voloeof wonderful carrying power, and there is no one living who can give him instructions how to use it to better advantage than he does.

James O'Neill has a remarkable cane, given him by John Msguire, the theat rical magnate of the northwest, during hi* last visit to Butte. It has excellent likenesses of all the Irish leaders in Parliament carved in its wood, and was made by a convict in the penitentiary in Heleua.

William A. Brady has arranged for the production, next season, of another melo-drama, with the title of "A BoiW ery Boy." It is said that this production will be the biggest of its kind ever attempted, and will have a series of sensations. Manager Brady has deposited the title in Washington, D. CM deposited two printed copies of bis play, and is prepared to contest any Infringement of same. Charles B. Ward, the author of "The Band Played On," has been offered the star role.

The new theatrical syndloate, composed of Messrs. Henry C. Miner, Joseph H. Brooks and J. H. MoVlcker, contemplate a gorgeous production of James A. Berne's latest work, "An Unofficial Patriot," It Is a war play, bat written on entirely original lines. Its sosnes are laid in Virginia, and one of Its leading characters is a clergyman. Mr. Heme's other play, "Shore Acres," continues to meet with great success wherever it Is played. This comedy will on-

'i

doubtedly be given a fine scenic production in London early next season. An amber of thestrioal managers and playwrights are urging an amendment to the copyright law, so as to puniah play piracy, Congressman Cummings recently introduced a bill making play piracy a misdemeanor, and providing that an injunction granted by a Circuit Court shall be binding in any part of the United States. The Dramatists' Club has requested the theatrical managers to co-operate with it in securing the passage of this bill, and will arrange for sending a delegation to Washington next month, when Ibe bill oomes op for bearing in committee.

Womftt Lawmaker*.

Congressman Henderson of Iowa thinks that in congress, as everywhere else, women oould be always trusted, and would Be oftener right than men are. Congressman Cannon of Illinois declares that woman in congress would be of some account or no account, just as man is.

Ex-United States Senator Blair of New Hampshire believes that if women were in congress education would advance, reforms would be promoted, the American home protected, and things be better and cleaner than they are now. Ex Senator Mitchell of Oregon deotdes that from every standpoint the result of having women in congress would be benefioial.

Making Boom For Bisters.

Some of the Massachusetts and Connecticut "lodges"—spots long sacred to men—are considering the advisability of admitting women to full membership.

Women have for some time bfeen men bers of "sister" and auxiliary organizations, and at a recent convention of the Knights of Columbus, held at Hartford, it was decided to admit women to membership in that order. The movement is growing. It has been declared that women would be valuable adjuncts in the line of preparing feasts for hungry masculine Knights. —Philadelphia Ledger.

Frances Graham French.

Miss Frances Graham French of Washington has been detailed by the secretary of the interior to study the educational aspects of the manufacturing industries of the south at the Atlanta exposition. Miss Frenoh is also a delegate to the League of International Press Clubs and special correspondent of the Boston Commonwealth.

The Woman's Educational olub of Chicago will attempt to compile a selection of Bible readings for schools that will not be objectionable to Catholics, Protestants or Jews. It is said that Mgr. Satolli and a number of Catholic, Protestant and Jewish clergymen approve of the idea.
