POIIIKI ^Parties.

In Cincinnati pound parties are all the rage. There were so many needy ones in the city that some method had to be taken to help them, and the Commeicial Gazette suggested pound parties and they are being held nightly all over the city, and the contributions turned in to a general relief committee, who are distributing the goods to the needy of that city. The Major contributed a pound of silver dollars. Others sent in checks and clothes, but provisions was the main thing, and many worthy and distressed people are receiving needed relief. Mrs. J. H. Bragg is much interested and suggests that the above plan be used in this city for the relief of a number of people who need assistance. It would be well for parties interested to consult Mrs. Bragg and take steps to set the movement in action, as it is indeed a worthy cause.

Severely Burned.

Tuesday night, J. A. Anderson, who lives south-east of here, was very badly burned about the head and face. He was sitting before a big wood fire talking and late in the evening doze 1 off, and slipping from his chair fell headlong into the fire, burying his face and head in about a half bushel of live coals. His burns while severe will not result fatally.

Thayer's, the near horse a big black one gave her a terrific kick on the thigh. She was knocked down and rolled over two or three times, and yet was not seriously hurt, as she was able to get up and walk down town. It was a close call, however and being close to the horse, no doubt rendered the kick less dangerous. Every egg In her basket was broken. _..

Mr. and Mrs. Ham L. Strickland entertained about twenty-five of their friends last evening at their home on North State street. The visitors enjoyed themselves with music, dancing and progressive euchre. Dainty refreshments were served and the evening was highly entertaining to those present.

A subscriber once wrote to an editor of a paper asking him what the weather in the next month would be like. The reply given was: "The weather next month will be very much like your subscription bill." After a little pondering the inquirer recollected that his bill was "unsettled," and so he at once sent a postal order.

After refreshments the evening will be spent in games and other amusements. "A delightful time" is the verdict of all who attended the mask social given by the Odd Fellows at their hall last night. A'oont 100 members aud invited guests assembled and had a most enjoyable evening. The costumes were many and varied, and we were told that some of them were "very becoming." About 10 o'clock the masks were removed and parties were able to recognize each other. Refreshments were served, and at a late hour the participants went home and will ever remember the happy evening.

Sheriff Pauley left to-day with Don Carr for the Jeffersonviile penitentiary. Carr was sentenced Monday for stealing money from the Grand Hotel. In conversation with Carr at the depot this morn ing, the UKJ'LT.LICAX tried to get some of his past history, but he was very "mum," sajing that his folks lived in Chicago and that they were well off. Carr assumed a braggadocia style at the depot and said he would "get even" with Marshal Scott, if it took him ten years. He didn't say what he wanted to "get even" for, but we suppose it was because the Marshal did his duty by arresting Carr.

Mr. Thomas L. Springer of Fortville, of the Springer Telephone Co. was in the city to-day looking after their telephone interests. Messrs Morrison and Springer have the contracts for fifty-three telephones from our business men aud citizens and are here as straightforward honorable business men asking that a franchise be granted under which they can put, in aud operate a first class telephone exchange in our city, guaranteeing the service to be satisfactory in every paras good busi-

ticular. The Couucilmen ness men will no doubt look into the mat ter carefully, take care of the city's interests and pass a general ordinance under which any company can operate.

Municipnlisra Paying Big.

The REPUBLICAN is a thorough believer in municipalism. That is, we believe that it is best for cities to own their own water works, electric light plants, gas works, street railways, etc. It will be remembered that the REPUBLICAN, along with a number of leading citizens, made a vigorous and winning fight for the city ownership of water works two years ago. Below we give some facts concerning the ownership of the gas works by the city of Philadelphia:

The Mayor of Philadelphia delivered a speech at a meeting of citizens a few nights ago in which he gave some interesting facts relative to the municipal management of gas works iu that city. He said that from 1891 to 1894, inclusive, the expenditures of the bureau of gas for material, maintenance, labor, supplies, coal, etc., were $10,858,910.58, and for extensions and permanent improvements, $1,050,248.81, a total of $11,909,159.89. During these four years there was turned into the city treasury as receipts from the bureau $14,790,404.25, or very nearly $3,000,000 in excess of the entire expenditures, and this in face of the fact that the price of gas in 1894 was reduced from $1.50 to $1 per 1,000 feet. Whether the business was as well managed as possible or not, the net results seem very satisfactory.

An Afternoon With Trilby Proves Delightfully Entertaining. Trilby entertainments are quite the rage now and are being given quite frequently in our larger cities. Friday Mrs. Will W. Cook and Mrs. Dr. A. J. Smith gave a Trilby afternoon at the home of Mrs. Cook on East street that proved a great success. It was indeed a very pleasant occasion. All who took part in the program deserve to be praised for the manner in which they acquitted themselves.

We give the program as follows: The first subject being "Life and Works of Du Maurier," a paper by Raymond E. Geary. "Wistful and Sweet," a living picture showing Trilby as she first appeared to the three Englishmen. "A Description of the Latin Quartier," Will A. Hough. "Three Musketeers of the Brush," a living picture showing the three Englishmen, Little Billee, Taffy and Sandy. "Ballad of the Bouillabaisse," a recitation by Mrs. S. M. Kraeer, who gave it iu a most beautiful aud charming style. A livingpicture "The Soft Eyes," representing Trilby sitting as a model for a picture for the three Englishmen. Chopins "Impromptu" was rendered by Mrs. Frank S. Hammel in a most efficient manner. "Confession" a living picture where Trilby relates her past life to Sandy. "Hypnotism," a paper by Robert Thompson, iu which he related a very interesting hypnotical experience that came under his observation while a student at Wabash. "Answer Me Trilby," a living picture where Trilby consents to marry Little Billee, after he had asked her twenty times to marry him. "Ben Bolt:" chat sweet old song was sung most beautifully by Mrs. Anna Randall. A living picture, "O, Don't You Remember Sweet Alice," showiug Trilby as she appeared singing uuder the hypnotic power of Svengali.

Oh, don't yon remember sweet Alice, Ben Bolt? Her name lias been loved, and long will be 'Twas first for herself, but now 'tis supposed 'Xis because she is out with great Trilby. "The Character of Trilby and Opinions and Effects of the Book," a paper by Mrs. I. P. Poulson. This was a most excellent paper, well written and well read. It showed a perfect understanding and a keen appreciation of the work. "Svengali-Svengali-Sveugali," a reading by Mrs. R. A. Black giving that portion of the book just preceding the death scene where Trilby receives the photograph of Svengali, and under its hypnotic influence sings with all her wonted sweetness, and the reading also included the touching death scene. Mrs. Black's voice was very sympathetic and her reading was effective. The entertainment closed with a livingpicture, "The Death Scene," which shows Trilby at her death.

The characters forming the living pictures were Trilby, Miss Alma Martin who looked, acted and was Trilby. The three Englishmen were ably represented by Robert S. Thompson as Little Billee, O. O. Souders as Taffy and Raymond E. Geary as Sandy, the Laird of Cock-pen. The entertainment was something out of the usual order and for that reason was particularly enjoyable. Dainty refreshments were served to the guests and all felt very much indebted to the hostesses, Mesdames Cook and Smith and their assistants for a most delightful afternoon.

DEAR DOCTOR:— I hear you are creating great excitement and healing the sick iu every quarter.

You are a world's wonder. God has given you a wonderful gift indeed the greatest of all gifts. Your correct understanding in my case gave me unbounded faith in you at the start. I paid out for doctor bills aud various remedies, the twelve years I was sick, hundreds of dollars. You completely restored me, and the cost was a trifle. Your charges are so reasonable that even the poorest of the afflicted may take your treatment. I have no more of those terrible paroxysms, my stomach is well, and I can now rest, eat and sleep as well as I ever did in my life.

My prayers are, that the sick all over the land may reach you in person or by letter, and receive your wonderful treatment. May God bless and prosper you in your noble work. Your grateful patient.
