Opinion to Terri Haute.

Upln1On 10 IeFrt HhWte.
The question has been raised again as to
whether the saloons must be closed on La
Dor day, which is legal holiday. Prose-
cutor Huston, of Vigo county. and the Civic
Federation of Terre Haute, had decided to
enforce the holiday law in Terre Haute to-
day, but a legal question having arisen, the
prosecutor telegraphed to Attorney general
ketcham as follows: There are a number
of lawyers here who say that Labor day
is not a legal holiday in the sense that sa-
looms are required to close on that day Am
/ right in believing them wrong" The At
torney-general replied: Labor day is a hol-
iday for commercial purposes only" This
is construed to mean that the saloons of
the State cannot be closed to-day by Off

Francis Wilson'S Record.

A fact that is frequently commented
is that we nave no actor managers on the
American stage, as compared to those of
England, who, in the pursuit of fortune,
care to risk any part of it in enriching the
stage with productions that show a high
artistic purpose we'll as desire to at
tract the might dollar However true this
may be of many of our prominent stars,
an exception must certainly be made in the
field of comic opera as represented by
Francis Wilson. His career as a comic
opera manager has been a fruitful one in
the matter of new and elaborate produc-
tions, appealing to the higher tastes ana
artistic sense of theater-goers. In the
eight years that he has had his own oper-
tirely new productions, never using any
material for one that had been used in a
previous production. The list is an interest
ing one and recalls ambitious efforts, whose
picturesque environment, gorgeous costum-
ing and elaborate detail must always re-
main a source of pleasant memory. Be
ginning with THE Oolah. his career as a
star is brilliantly recorded in the following
list of worthy operate presentations: The
Gondoliers The Merry Monarch, The
Deputy and The. Chieftain.
1T is quite within reason to state that
the mounting of any one OF THESE operas
cost him not less than $4,000 and in the

OF late years Indianapolis has become
quite a point for manufacturing iron
bridges and trestles, there being three or
four large concerns here, and their work
has been chiefly for county bridges in In
diana and adjoining States, where iron
structures were taking the place of wooden
ones. But within the last few weeks the
business has fallen off sharply and one es-
adjustment which on Aug. l. 1895 had or

year, had orders for but seven bridges and
