John Paddock, city treasurer, celebrated bit thirtieth birthday, and the ninth anniversary of his marriage, yesterday.

George (t term an, of the police force, capturrd two sneak thlevea yesterday after a long chase In which he proved himself a most determined and plucky officer. •.

A. Burnett pu nttd each of his clerks and employe* with a Christmas turkey tlii. morning. The proprietors of Kyoe's Carpet Hall did the same by tholr people, ______

Thos. L. Butler, of Shryer Bros., is spending the holidays with S. W. torrest, Washington City. Ho took with him that elegant doll's house, mention of which was made In The Mail recently.

White Mewhlnney's lunch room is hist as popular as ever, and the fare just as good. If you want a good wholosomo meal for a small outlay of money, give them a call.

Wo take pleasure in calling attention 10 the attractive list of Holiday (Soods published by Buntin A: Armstrong in another column. Header*, we imagine, will be surprised to tind that a Drug Store contains so many things which it would b« pleasant to take.

Now if vou want something useful for Christmas and cold weather, and something which is at tho same time nice and appropriate for a present, go to roeb A Fasig, N ».'V4 Main street, and see the handsome assortment of I^ap Hobos, Blankets. Whips, »tc.

Now iu theso piping holiday times, the "Trimming Store" must not be overlooked. It is roallv ono of the very West places in town to go to for Christmas goods. Among the multitude of haml-oine articles always kept there, it Is easy to find plenty of the most appropriate thipgs for presents. Try it.

Immense crowds of people have visited.ihe Prairie City Kmjorium this week, but the proprietors bv p»tti»g on an extra lorce of clerks have boon able to wait on the majority of those who called. Kxtra preparations have been made tor the expected rush of to-day, and it Is intended that all customers shall receive prompt attention.

One of the tinest stocks of boots and shoes ever brought to this city is now being sold out at retail at much below original cost prices. This stock is the property ot J. 1'. Tutt, and his reason for disusing of it in this manner is that he is going to retire from tho boot and shoe business. It is a tine opportunity to get the beat of goods at very low prices, and is commendod to every reader as such.

A sealskin skating or driving cap is "not to be sneezed at" asf a present for any gentleman, and they can bo bought in this city of Howo it Stoner, who also kee{»ja tine slock of silk, casslmers, and other hato, as well as gloves and a general head and hand outfit for gentlemen. And while on this subject let us remind the roader that Messrs. Howe A Stoner are the solo agents in this city for the celebrated KNOX bats.

Chlckering .t Sons, as all tho world knows, area groat Boston house with a branch in New York city, where they have rci-ently built the finest music hall in the country. W. H. Paige A Co. of this city are their sole agents in Terre Haute for the colebrated pianos which bear their name, the finest instruments that are made In the world. Messrs. Paige A Co. also sell the Mason «1t Hamlin organ, and all sorts of musical goods.

all the pre««ents one can think of ibere is none more appropriate between friends than a friend's picture or portrait. Such a present is a murenir that treasured for life. It Is the most sensible thing that one friend can give another, ami worth a bushel of tawdry gimcracks ami jewelry. Ibere la yet time (any time tor a week yet will do) to go to Wright's and have your picture taken, let it be tlnished in any atylo you like, but get a picture.

The ne-AMitle* of our climate compel all persons to dress comfortably, and it i» well that we havesurh a man In Terre lUuto to sell us what we need as Pbll Mehto**. B*«oanse, he keep* large and varied *tock of good gojds, and having •n Immense trade, Is able to regulate prices and keep them down so that we can all afford te buy. He keep* a full line of fashionable ready-made clothing. Canities* tlUiny shirt*, underwear, neck-wear, gloves, umbrellas, etc.

Of tli* Cfcristma* dinner will not be prepared till It is bought, and of course you will not buy It until after you have beet» to eee what Rippetoe has. Well be should bo*. and will not, disappoint bis friend*. He ha« the finest assortment of dainty delicacies ami substantial good thing* tt*t anybody has ever l*kl eyes on in Isrre Haute before. To etsnnifrate the half would take more tia»e and spac* Uan we can s,«*refbrtbe pnrpos* to-day. Jo there ami fr**t yooreyes and buy win you afford. It will do you good t* look a: It and It will do you more good, yerh*}*. to eat as tnuoh you oan of At any rate yen will be willing to Usttify. ibst Hippetoe I* the "bow grocer" of Terre Haute.

BUFFALO RQBE&

Miller A Arleth bare reoaived another atoek of BuSkk Ilobe»-4(leg*iit onab invite everybody to oome and see tbem. Tbey bare also added to Ueir sleek of Lap Robe^ BUnketa, A*., and can abow a larger variety of holiday goods than 70a might Imagine. 0*11 and sefctbem.

CHRISTMAS WONDERS. Tho collection of Uys, confootionery and other holiday goods at W. H. Scudder's well known establishment is well worth seeing, whethor you have children to boy for or -not. There are toys which seom to bo imbned with life. The dancing black llliputlans, tho rusty, scaly alligator, which, when wound np, is immediately set in motion, and actively wriggles about tke floor, as If in search of prey. Then there aro tho automatic monkeys and horses, aiul dogs, and girls and boys, and stage players, and merry-makerx, all imbued with tbe springs of mechanical life, which give them the appearance of possessing instinct, if not roason—such illusive creatures of invonlivo skill as would have startled our grandfathers and mothers wlien they were grown up mon and women. I11 addition to all theso there is a large lino of beautiful toys, including articles of chica, metal, glass, rubber and wood, which are not so endowed with mechanical activity. If w-e look fin ther, wo hecomo cognizant of tho fact that the useful as well as the merely attractive has not been forgotten. Thero are horses and wagons, tho former of wood, of course, and thoro are satchels and sleds, and outfits for juvenile mechanics. such as saws and hatchet*, and hammers, and any number of things, useful ns well as pleasing to youth. Dolls of all sizes and prices, irom ft cents to $0 toy musical instruments, military outfits for little boys, and, in fact, a list which would fill a whole column of this paper with the names of tho thing* w^ich might lw made out.

At this time, present-giving is epidemic, and all the world seeks to materialize regard in some token which shall be tasteful, if practicable, and varying in character and cost with tho varying predilections and means of tho givers. Among people of some degree of culture books, oftcner, perhaps, than any other single class of articles, are made the exponents of this graceful and genial custom, tho unfading vehicles of genuine regard. And nothing can be more appropriate, for books, good books, never pall on the taste, never wear out, and never thrust themselves upon us when our mood is not In harmony with them. In this city the "Central Book Storo" is headquarters for everything beautiful in books, elegant In fancy goods and fine in stationery. —SOMK VERY PRETTY Toilet Bottles, single or In pairs, also Toilet Sets, f:r sale at (Sullck A Berry's.

BE A UTIFUL THINGS Oae of tho most attractive pluce* In the city for the selection of good* appropriate to the holiday season is at Mr. R. Ungg's Art Emporium, on Main street, just west of Fourth. The wall* of his largo rooms are still filled with handsome pictures, the finest chromoa and lithographs, elegantly framed, and be can frame any picture* you may1 have Then thoro are brackets and fancy frames and a largo lino of fancy go xla appropriate for holiday present* or home decoration.

SIDEWALK OltSTRUOTKU. The sidewalk In front of Alexander Co'*, the oyster dealers, on Main street, eaat of Sixth, w*a Ailed ye»terd*y evening with pile* upon pile* of boxes of tbe finest oyster*, fresh from tbe *alt sea, selected *nd shlppod especially for their Christmas trade. Go to Alexander A Co. for the choicest oysters.

THE NEED OF THE JiOUIt. (Jems and jowwls, trlnketry of enameled, chased and fretted gold, diamond* and watchea, pieces of sterling silverware, and many other things that we buy of our Jeweler are Ju*t now in especial demand, for of these much tbe largeat number or holiday prenent* are compoaed.

Old IVarou Brown, he came to town But he didn't bring much money, Ami ho must try If he could buy Kome prebcnta for lilssouny. The plaee to uo, he first inust know And then decide the (Ui'8tioti: A friend soon came, wewwi'i tell his name. And offered this suggestion:

In the following named holldsy goods White A Mewhlnncy defy all competition and excel all competitors.

Toys: The stock of theso has been very much reduced, but what remains will bo sold at greatly reduced prices to closo out and you should not buy until you have seen what they have.

CHRISTMAS O YSTERS. For many years past Ed. W.

Besides furnishing his big city trade he is prepared to supply dealers in all the country roundabout in any quantity and at bottom prices. For clioico oysters call on Ed. W. Johnson, on Main street, just above Sixth. "OUR BAZAAR." Is tho unique and very appropriate title of a now establishment in this city. It is under tho direction of Mrs. Van Dyke, of the popular Bankrupt Millinery Store, and Mrs. Murphy of the late Temple of Fashion, who have taken 0110half of the room occupied, by the Howe Machino Agency. The specialty nt prefent will be Millinery good of all kind?. These ladies have had experience, and are fully competent to conduct a large business.
