ADJUSTMENTS.
What Different Ones Will Cater
to the Wants and Wishes of
Our People.

Hard times may come and the money
NAV 20, but people will still patronize
amusements. They may owe their
grocer and butcher and be without
bread, but the theatre cannot be lore
gone, no not if the coat must be sold
from the back. In view of this fact We
give the names and dates, with various
other points in relation to those soon to
unfold their manifold attractions to our
view.
ROBERT e. INGERsoLL.
'Infidel Bob" isalmost too well-known
to require an introduction, but we
nevertheless perform the ceremony, and
his salutation is in no wise bashful.
Every one has heard OF the great Scrip
tural iconoclast, the great champion OF
Republicanism, the mighty demOl-
isher of poets and the fast friend and
admirer of Republicanism's first and
greatest exponent, James u. Blaine, IN
the person OF Col. Robert Ii. lngerSoll, OF
Peoria, ILL., He has entranced listening
crowds with has oratorical poem on
Music, he has charmed political econ
mists with his essay on lizard Times,
and the Way Out" he has shocked re.
ligionists with his beautiful defense OF
Tom Paine and he electrified the Gin
cinnati Convention OF 1876 with his
eulogy on Blaine. He has been
alternately censured and Landed, blamed
for his opinions and praised for the
glowing manner in which he has
clothed them. He lectured recently i'll
Cincinnati, and the press OF that city
land him to the skies, and say he made
converts of all who heard him. Our
Wheeling people will have an Opportu-
nity OF hearing him next Thursday
evening in his great religious lecture,
Some Mistakes OF Moses. A large
audience will doubtless b. present.
ROBERT INVADE.
On the 9th and eth proximo, the ster-
ling actor quoted above will delight
crowded houses with his version Of
rip Van Wrinkle" McWade is no
stranger To our people. having success
fully completed several engagements
here, and ne is looked upon a. quite the
equal OF Joe Jefferson, which is, of itself
no small compliment.
IliE rhAND III ioht fki.
We had occasion to speak already in
congratulatorv tones of the promptneSs
with which Wheeling responds to the
cry ofthe afflicted. Not once, but always.
Another opportunity now offers to test
the continuance of her liberality. On
December 18th, or ust following the
cantata OF Esther" Il charity concert
will be given ut the Opera House under
the auspices OF the Society OF 1t. Vincent
de Paul. This organization deserves
commentator OF the highest order,
having been instrumental in relieving
many cases OF suffering and want i'll
our midst Its treasury is now in de
plcted condition, and il makes this effort
to recuperate.
The programme is not entirely COM
plcted, but we are safe in saving that
the following ladies and gentlemen will
take part: Mrs VI. f. Whitaker, Mrs.
Geo. b. Caldwell Miss Nan Dubois, and

possibly the. choir of the Disciples
Church, and 10. Kramer's orchestra.

QUEEN ESTHER.
The rehearsal Of this bright cantata at
Germania Hall, last evening, developed
some of the latent musical and dramatic
talent Of the city to degree which
promises well for the forthcoming per
iormanceS. Professor Seager, who is dl-
recting the rehcarsals, is the author OF
its dramatization, and has presented it
with wonderful success in all the lead
ing cities East and West. He says that
the solo cast here, especially among the
gentlemen, is an exceedingly strong
one and will compare favorably with
any that he has had. We will announce
the entire east on Saturday. The dates
fixed for the performances are Tuesday
and Wednesday, two weeks from To-
night and tomorrow night. Rehearsal
this evening at GerInania Hall.
