The story that Senator Jones, of Florida, would soon return to his duties at Washington, can not be true. Yesterday the senate supplied the vacancy in the committee on commerce caused by his prolonged absence at Detroit.

General Sheridan consoled the Indianapolie people yesterday by eaying the ar senal at that point ought not to be abandoned. Without the sunrise and sunset guns at the state capital the people over there would never know when to get up or when to go to bed.

Commissioner Sparks refuses to obey Secretary Lamar in regard to his land rulings. With Sparks and Black subordinates it is not strange that the secretary has been compelled to run ofl to his Mississippi home to secure rest for a much perturbed mind.

The Tilden democrats are laying "elab orate, ingenious and skillful, plans" to nominate Whitney in 1888 for the presidency. There has not yet been developed any reason for a Whitney boom, outside of the fact that he is a protege of Tilden and a brother-in-law of the Standard Oil Company.

In spite of the fact that a majority of a democratic committee has reported ad' versely on the contest made by Hard for the seat now held by Romeis, of the Toledo district, the friends of the Ohio free trader will make an efiort to count him in by a vote of the house. The Morrison bill has just been reported and the free traders want Hurd's help in the debate.

Editor Pulitzer, of the New York World, "just for the fun of the thing,': had himself elected to congress from one of those city districts which give demo cratic majorities according to orders from the bosses. But the editor at the end one year had no record in congress. Indeed his name appears but once or twice in the roll calls. The newspapers have been chiding him for setting a bad ex ample and he tenders his resignation.

The democratic leaders of Colorado who recently called on the president to persuade him to vary the style of men he has been appointing to office in that state have returned to their homes disgusted with the president personally and dispirited as to the party outlook in their state. It seems that nearly every appointment has been of an ex-coEfederate to succeed an ex-union soldier, the confederates as a general thing being carpet-baggers of very recent date.

The Indianapolis people are listening to a half dozen propositions for telephone service. There is not one whicli is free of the danger of being enjoined by the Bell company on the ground of infringement. The Central Union company which uses the Bell in strument and which is withdrawing from the state is through its officers ob serving the field very closely—enough so to raise the suspicion that perhaps yet it will find away to prevent the people of the state being left without the almost indispensible convenience of telephone communication.

The sentiment resulting from the discussion of the High school question at Indianapolis seems to be in favor of manual instruction. The boys who are now leaving the high schools, it is thought, could be kept through the course by the introduction of a manual training school in which "instruction and practice can be given in mechanical drawing, carpen try, wood-turning, pattern-making, blacksmithing,' machine and vice work in iron." This idea was first suggested by President Smart, of Purdue, who tells the Indianapolis school board that "while the efficiency of a school depends very much more upon the teachers than upon the subjects,of study," he is "convinced that the course would be strengthened and rendered more attractive, if more time were devoted to economic studies, as botany, jsoology and chemistry." He then expresses his faith in manual training.

This new and accepted idea of the High school is the natural result of the improvement in the course of both the graded, schools and the High school. The higher grades in the former an nowadays as far advanced as-was the first or perhaps the second year of the High school a few years ago. The High school keeping ahead has advanced beyond the common school idea and is an institution of special instruction of which but comparatively few care to avail themselves. The introduction of practical learning for the professional studies would no doubt

do much to restore the school to popular favor.

It is shown that Gwin, of Attica, who succeeded Burt as railway mail superintendent, has been guilty of conduct which would secure his dismissal from the service by any administration except one that has put a premium on the assassination of character. An Indianapolis correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette thus tolls the story

It seems that for along time before his appointment he had been hounding Mr. Burt through the columns of the Indianapolis Sen. tine], although he did not venture to appear as the author of any of the charges. Ke did his work anonymously. Now, when he hcs attained hia ambition, and in an official order alludes to the "high efficiency of the division under Mr. Burt," the Sentinel takes him to task, and gives the secret away.

TUESDAY, APBIL 13,1886.

At an election for school trustee at Effingham Mrs. Ada H. Kepley ran against her husband, Henry B. Kepley and defeated him. He will know better than to oppose his wife hereafter.

If this is Mr. Gwin's character, the poetmaster general undoubtedly has in him a perthoronghly able to .fill the mission to which he is assigned. A man who will attack another in the dark and assassinate him with an anonymous weapon, certainly will not have any compunctions about hustling a few republican clerks out of the sernoe, and filling their places with working democrats. This light upon the character of Mr. Gwin justifies all that has bean reported of him, and leaves no room to doubt that he was selected to do just what it has been said he was selected to do. Vilas himself endorsee the policy of making anonymous assaults upon the official characters of republicans, and has been theroughly consistent in selecting for superintendent o{ the Fifth division of the R. M. S. a man who has been practicing in that line.

The fact that Mr. Gwin knows very little about the work of the division, and that he is inexperienced nn inefficient, is a small matter compared disclosure of his lack of courage cii gygiSm^e. ^hat his experience has been courn.^ the duties of an insignificant distributing clerk on a short route in Indiana is his misfortune, but this is a fault to his shame. That he had no knowledge of the division east of Indiana and south of the Ohio river may be corrected by study, if sufficient time is allowed him, and the ignorance then forgiven him. A person who has been five years out of the service, managing a grocery in a remote part of Indiana, is not expected to be posted as to its present condition but it is difficult to overlook the offense of which the Sentinel convicts Mr. Gwin.

In exposing him in this manner the Sentinel has departed from the policy of the administration at Washington. This polioy is not to disclose the author of any secret charges affecting the official integrity of any republican. Vilas will be displeased when he learns how the Sentinel has told on Gwin, and thus subjected him to the contumely he deserves.

The Haghbr of the Administration' Philadelphia Press. I heard a lady remark the other day that Lamar looked like a snub-nosed lion. Certainly he does a good deal of gentle roaring among the sex,'and is known as the male flirt of the present administration. It has been said of him that he only asks ten minutes to make a conquest of a weak and twenty minutes of a strong-minded woman.

APOLLO WEDS MELPOMENE

A Terre Haute Actress Married at Jacb' son, Michigan.

Under the above heading the Jackson, Michigan, Star of April 30, contained the fellowing account of the marriage of Miss Maud Melville (Maud Smock of this city), of the Wilber Dramatic company "The Week's engagement of Mr. A. B. Wilber's Madison Square company at the Hibbard Opera house has not only proved a phenomenal success from a business standpoint, but the sojourn of the troupe in the city has at the same time been marked by a pleasing and congratulatory incident in the marriage of of Mr. O. F. Anderson, the excellent pianist of the company with Miss Maud Melville, one of the leading ladies. The ceremony, which took place at the Commercial hotel at the termination of Thursday evening's performance, was conducted by the Bev. Boyal B. Balcom, rector of- St. PauPs, and Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Wilber desiring to express in a tangible way their sincere esteem for the young people, tendered them ao elegant banquet at the Commercial immediately after the tying of the knot had been accomplished. Those present included, in addition to the newly married pair and the kindly host and hostess, the whole of the Madison Square company, fourteen in number, Bector Balcom, Mr. H. A. Wickham, manager of Mr. Wilber's Lyceu company, now playing at East Saginaw, Mr. William Fottle, a large contingent of representatives of both the local and New York press with many friends. The banquet in itself reflected the greatest credit upon the proprietor of the hotel Mr. Charles Buhl, while the kindly assiduity of Clerk Flannigan, who, alarmingly attired, flitted everywhere, took rood care of everybody and added not a ittle to the pleasure and enjoyment of the guests. In point of fact, Mr. Flacnigan's immaculate and elegant make-up was next to the bride, the chief attraction of the evening and fittingly crowned an auspicious event long to be remembered by all the favored participants."

COOK & BELL VS. THE CITY.

The City to Pay the Plaintiffs Fourteen Hundred Dollars.

The case Cook & Bell vs. the City was brought to a sudden termination today by a compromise. In July, 1884, Terre Haute was visited by an almost unprecedented rain. The storm water flowing in the street gutter on the south side of Main, was obstructed by a bridge at Third and Main and overflowed the street and sidewalk.' The basement of Cook & Bell's drug store was flooded, and considerable damage resulted. In August, 1885, §nother heavy rain fell, and the basement was again flooded. The firm employed counsel and began a suit for damages to the amount of $10,000. The trial began in the Superior court on Thursday of last week, before Judge James M. Allen and a jury. To-day the attorneys for the city proposed a compromise, offering $1,000. The plaintiffs expressed a wil lingness to compromise but demanded $1,600. After considerable talking it was agreed that the city pay the plaintiffs $1,400, and the case would be dismissed.

The plaintiffs were represented by the firms of Davis & Davis, McNutt & McNutt, and Messrs. I. N. Pierce and M. M. Joab. The city bv City Attorney T. A. Foley and Messrs. Khoads & Williams.

LATE OF NEW YORK CITY. (Graduate from two of the leadlDg medloal colleges in this oountry.) Attendant of four of the best Hospitals in New York Oity) has opened an office and reception rooms opposite Postofflce, on Mlxtn street, Terre Haute.

BRONCHITIS AND CONSUMPTION. We adopt the latest and most improved system of lnhalatiou and other appliances which have never been used west ot New York City before. Improvement is seen and felt from the first hour of treatment, I care not how bad you are suffer-

ln$R.

J. WILLIAMS an old physician with fifty years' experience, will treat all Chronic Diseases

The report for 1885, of this city has Just been published and furnished much valuable information important to all. The chief point in the tables of this report I wiah to direct attention to, is the fearful number of death* caused by diseases of the Throat and Lungs. More than fifty distinct maladies were concerned in causing this sacrifice of human life, and yet nearly one-half the deaths were caused by disease of the throat and lungs. It means that every second or thlni person we meet In the streets of business and pleasure is doomed to a premature death by diseases of the throat and lungs. Some falling this year and some next and so on. Such is the lesson taught by the experience of the past treatment. The stomach haB been made thelveceptacle of medicine Intended to act on the inner surface of fhe luugi, It has been nauseated, demoralized ana paralyzed by medicine until it has been rendered incapable of doing it necessary work digestion. 1 have shown you from the reports of my patients how qulcfe inhalation produces a change for the better. No other treatment has ever accomplished such results.

CATARRH, that disgusting malady with its multiplicity of symptoms the sore throat, enlarged or ulcerated tonsils, the remarkable tendency to contract a cold, the hoarseness, hacking cough, the oppression of the chest, the deafness, and fiolsonlng of the blood from swallowing be mucus from the throat. 1 have the best appliances that ever' came to this city. No other system of practice has ever cured.
