THE AMUSEMENT REVIEW.
The Various Attractions at the Theaters This
Week-The Skating Kinks.

The engagement of Messrs. Brooks & Dick
sons famous New York dramatic company to
produce Messrs, Sims & Pettitt's latest English
melodrama, In the Ranks, at the Grand Opera
house, all this week. is an event of more than or
binary interest in local theatrical affairs, and is
attracting much attention. 'In the Ranks"
comes to us heralded as the greatest of all the
melodramas, excelling the famous ''Romany
Rye, both in plot and scenic effects, and with
the prestige of long runs in London, New York
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore
and other cities. The press of these cities unan-
imously award it high praise. Three carloads
of scenery are used in staging the piece, and
the cast requires forty-two people to give it
proper representation. Among the most promi-
nent ones are Messrs. Frank Weston, j. r. Craw
ford, Leslie Allen, Nelson Decker, F. F. Mackay,
J. H. Fitzpatrick Sydney NJ Howard R. c.
White and Misses Kate Forsyth, Louise Null
dener, Sydney Cowell Dora Stuart, Laura Wal
lace, Emma Carroll, Mamie Hill, Mrs Peters
and Others The advance sale of seats opened
on Friday, at the theatre, and was sufficiently
large to insure good houses throughout the
gagement.
AT Englishs on Wednesday night Haverly's
Minstrels will give a single performance and Miss
Annie PiXley and company will be the attraction
during the remainder of the week, the opening
performance of cara" being for the benefit of
the local lodge of Elks, who are selling great
many tickets. There will also be number of
volunteered specialties Miss will be pre-
sented Friday and Saturday nights.
At the Zoo this week Newells ''Niuldoon Pic
mic" company which includes Lester and Walk
er, "a boys best friend, etc J Emma Rice, Hef-
fernan and Med onald, Satsuma, the Gerry sis
ters, Franklin Jones and others will be the at
traction
At the skating Kinks on Saturday the attend
ance was SO large that the crowds could not be
accommodated with skates and the ''craze"
threatens to become so alarming that all other
classes of amusement will be totally neglected.
THE POLO GAME DRAW.
The second match game of polo between the
indianapolis and Louisville clubs took place at
the Park Rink on Saturday night, in the pres
ence of a very large crowd, and resulted in a
draw, each side winning one goal, and contest
ing the third holly that time was called before
either had scored. The home club will play at
Terre Haute Wednesday, and the Chicago
club will be here March and Z.
ELKs BENEFIT TICKETS LOST.
On Saturday night E. NJ Dasher lost his
pocket-bOok containing sixty tickets for the
Elks' benefit, at English's, next Thursday night.
They will be of no use to any one as only those
tickets will be received at the door that are
signed by members of the order and these are
not thus indorsed

A SCHOOL ESSAY.
Judge Brain and HIS Five Assistants-How
the Special Senses We're Located.
SO. 35 and 81 W. Washington st

The following essay was written as class ex-
ercise after finishing the study of the special
senses, by an eighth grade pupil in Miss Charity
Dyes room, High-school building. 1t is an ale
CORY worth printing;
"Once upon a time Hands, Ears, Eyes, Nose
and Tongue, belonging to the same family
called Special Senses hired themselves to
Judge Brain, who lived ia the third story of
splendid marble manor. Besides these five ser
wants he had another class called Muscles, some
of which he put under Hands, some under Eyes,
come under Tongue. and one or two under Ears,
"The Judge gave Ears, Eyes, Tongue and
Nose rooms surrounding his apartments, so as
TO be within easy communication with them,
but Hands was assigned place some distance
away, on account of the nature Of her work,
& was a ing creature h 5;;i;t otwith-
standing this was really skiful, delicate and
strong. She was appointed inspector general,
Ears as a sentinel, Eyes as photographer, Nose
as a sanitary officer, and Tongue to taste the
Judges FOOD before he ate it, because he was
much afraid of being poisoned. The five
servants told him of everything that came
along by telegraph wires, called nerves, which
were all over his house.
THE Judges apartments were filed with the
choicest and finest pictures that could be gotten
in the world, which all made by Eyes, his
photographer Some of the pictures, which
were of neighboring houses were priced by the
Judge more than any others, because he
thought great deal of his neighbors. Some
were of beautiful landscapes and sunsets,
while others were of different parts of his
house Nose was such good sanitary
officer that she could tell when the air in the
Judges room was impure, and the state of the
weather. The Special Senses always like to help
each other when they can. For instance Eyes
always helps Hands, Tongue, Ears and Nose when
she is not engaged in making a very fine picture
and then she wants to be left all alone. Mem
Dry and Judgment, two minor servants, assist
Eyes in her work, and Judge Brain rules and
ill nffl
Special Senses the Judge did not have to move
from his rooms which consisted of the cere
Drum, his study, the cerebellum his gymnasium
and the medulla oblongata. his office.
Sometimes two of the five servants
gets sick and dies. Then, instead of getting dis
couraged they go on as best they can. In one
house made after the plan of Judge Brains the
relatives of Eyes, Ears, Nose and Tongue died
only a short time after the house was built and
before they were experienced; but Hand went
resolutely to work and, although the house had
but few pictures in it, she filed it with all kinds
of manuscripts and books that the Judge
had plenty to think about and study"

A Dog Saves Another Dogs Life,

tFrom the Poughkeepsie Eagle, Feb 81
Mr.. N. 0. Chichester, superintendent
of Arnold's chair factory, tells wonder.
full dog story. On Thursday he was
looking out on the river from an upper
window of the factory when he discov-
cred dog in the ferry track, struggling
hard to get out. The dog would swim
along the edge of the ice, then get both
feet on it, and raise himself partly out
of the water and fall back. The animal
did this once or twice, when another dog
WAS seen hurrying to the spot. The
latter seized the half-drowned dog by
the neck and pulled and tugged away,
vainIy endeavoring to haul him out, He
got nearly out two or three times, but
each time he dropped back. Suddenly
the would-be rescurer started like light
ming for the shore and the dog in the
water kept up his struggles. In min
ute or two the other dog was seen re.
turning, and there was a man with him
who was running. Dog and man reached
the drowning dog in time to pull him
out, aud all started for the shore. When
the two dogs reached the bridge which
leads from the ice to the brewery pier
they laid down side by side,and made
extraordinary manifestations of Joy and
delight, and their cries, not barks, were
incessant. The dog that was saved is
owned by Mr.. George Lumb, of Swart
d Lumb Brothers, and the dog that
went to his rescue is hunting dog be-
longing to Isaac n. Wood, OF the Ex-
change House. Taking everything into
consideration it was a most wonderful
occurrence,

ShreWdness versus Sharpness,

tfrom the Sewing Machine Journal
Shrewdness is an excellent quality in
business man. It carries him through
difficulties that would swamp others,
and enables him to avoid dangers into
which less shrewd men would be GER
tain to stumble. But when shrewdness
degenerates into mere sharpness
which may be defined as shrewdness
devoid OF conscientiousness- becomes
as dangerous as two edged sword in
the hands of a child. 1t cuts both its
possessor and all with whom he has
dealings. Shrewdness is honest, tax
ing advantage of circumstances in an
honest manner, and only for legitimate
purposes. Sharpness frequently de-
scends to trickery to accomplish its
object, and is 30 closely allied to down
right dishonesty of tentime that the
difference between them is not appar-
ent to the ordinary observer. The
shrewd merchant is respected and sue
cessful, while the mere sharper-equally
shrewd but less honest-is avoided,
despised, and at constant war with the
world. he is rarely successful, and
success never brings him respect.
Most frequently he may be found at
the bottom of the ladder Of fortune, sore
from the tumbles he has received, for he
sometimes climbs part way up by hang
ing to the skirts of more energetic
climbers, only to fall when shaken off
and left to his own exertions. He
hopes to reach the top at the expense
of others, and wastes more brain and
muscles in the endeavor to ascend by
rrickery than would suffice to carry him
triumphantly to the highest round by
honest endeavor. To such men shrewd-
uesa, instead of being blessing, is a
curse.

at West Bromwich yesterday after
noon an inquest was held on boy aged
10 named James Welsh, who committed
suicide by hanging himself with strap
from hook in the ceiling of the kitchen
Of his parents house. The evidence
showed that the deceased had been
able to pass the examination of the
school board. He had also been pun.
ished by one of the assistant teachers,
although against the regulations of the
board. He complained that the work
set him at school was too hard, but the
master denied that he had been SET
harder tasks thah other boys of his age.
He had passed the fourth and was pre-
pairing for the fifth standard, but was
not bright lad. Several jurors com:
planned OF the extent to which corporal
punishment was practiced at some Of
the schools, ard requested the coroner
to communicate with the school board
on the subject. A verdict of suicide by
hanging was returned.
