THE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL 1* good medium of communication between TerreQuote basinets men and the people who bay their goods— Because, It has the largest circulation of any paper published In tills city. But not on this account alene, but— Because, It goes Into the family circle on

Saturday evening, and daring Saturday night and Sunday is read thoroughly, advertisements and ai 1, by every member of the family who can read, after which it is loaned to the neighbors. Because, After having been read by the borrowers and baj ers in the city, it Is enveloped, stamped and sent to some friend 01 relative in some other town or city* Tfoeantp,

reaches all

classes, high and low, rich and poor. Because, Of its very large circulation among farmers. Because, It is an espocial favorite with the ladies, who do a large part of the buying of household goods, In addition to the

Because, Two editions are published, Thursday ard Satuiday evenings, ano all advertisements go in both editions for price of one issue. ..

FALSEHOODS, plain and unvarnished, are among the things that never go out of fashion.

THE semi-annual convention of the Vigo Sunday School Association will be held at Prairieton next Saturday.

FURIOUS driving is too frequently Indulged in on our streets. The law in regard to it should be strictly enforced.

THERE IS not a family iu Ibe county that does not spend foolishly more than the cost ct a newspaper and yet there are many families who do without any reading matter, whatever.

OK the movers passing through this city, it is a noticeable fid that those going west have a better outfit than those going east. Those going west are buoyant and expectant—those going east are defeated and disappointed.

THE sale cf seats for Mr. Voorhees' lecture on Jefferson is now progressing at Button & Hamilton's. The lecture will be delivered on next Tuesday evening, and of course there will be a large audience.

OCR Browns went over to Indianapolis yesterday and played a game with the Bines, getting beat by a score of 6 to 2—the two runs being msde on the seventh inning. Another game is to be played this afternoop, when abetter result is expected.

HERE'S the way it reached New York. This we find in the N. Y. Sun: Two Terre Haute policemen at rested a woman who was walking in the street at night, wearing a night dress only. They supposed she was arunk but she was really the wife ef a wealthy citiaen out on a somnambulistic adventnre.

A SKW amateur paper comes to our table this week, published by Ed L. Feldler. It is about the size of a full grown flea and fully as lively. This city has now seven amateur papers, namely: The Indiana Rocket, The Hoosier Boy« Reed's Rebuke, Gabriel's Horn, The Prairie City Gem, Our Umbrella, and The Christian Monthly. &

SHREWD advertisers, especially those who sell to women—and women do nine-tenths of the shopping—have long since recognized the superiority of The Mall as an advertising medium. One copy of The Mail will go through an entire neighborhood, and every woman in it will have a read at it. Containing a large quantity of matter prepared especially for tbem, it is not strange that it should meet with favor with them.

THE burglar is in town. Visits were made Tuesday night at the residences of Judge Patterson, on south Fifth street, and John Theobold, on Eleventh, between Ohio and Main. At the first they were discovered while in the house and escaped. At the latter tbey got Mr, Theohold's pantaloons in which was a pocketbook containing |79. Visits have also been made to the bouses of J. M. Allen, south Fifth street and Frank Myers on south Second street. 4-i

YOUR preacher may not be a Whitfield, or a Simpson, or a Spurgeon, but he can preach a much better sermon than you could, and if you will listen attentively you will find much in his discourses that will be profitable to you, and if you live up to it, will make your life purer, better and happier. And this is the object of all preaching. Go to church tomorrow, give close attention to the sern, don't criticise it, but practice it, and you will be better at the end of next week than you are at the end of this..

THE managers of the Home are making preparations for a supper and concert, to be given next Thursday evening, at tho rooms recently occupied by Charley Rouser. Those wishing to contribute to the supper—and It Is expected all will voluntarily do so—are requested to send in the same on Thursday morning. Twenty-live cents will pay for ticket of admission, and this entitles the holder to concert aud supper, or oysters can be had instead of supper. A city baker has donated a cake and it is to be voted to the most popular baker. The room will be tastefully decoratod by Mrs. Scholtz, and the prettiest girls In the city will attend the tables. Some of the best amateur talent in the city has volunteered for tho concert, and a most enjoyable evening may be expected. Lend your presence and thus encourage an institution that is now settling down to good aud substantial work,

A PRETTY muddle It's got into. Flow ers was sent to the penitentiary for life, for tho murder of Dr. Armstrong, convicted mainly on the evidence of Piney McKenna. Then Piney plead guilty and received allke sentence. Now comes Piuoy and swears that he knows nothing about the murder, that he was scared into giving the testimony he did on the trial. Flowers has been sentenoed and sent to the penitentiary. He can't have anew trial. A movemont la on foot to have him pardoned. Once released he can never be tried for the same offenseeven though it came out that he positively committed the murder, and there Is a very general bolief that he did— though, perhaps the evidence presented without that of Piney would not have convicted him. Perhaps it would be as well to let both Flowers and Piney stop while in tho penitentiary, out of harm's way. At any rate, ii might have been a mor6 serious matter, if that iury had said Flowers should be bung, and Piney had kept his mouth shut until after the execution.

BEATRICE.

We desire to call attention of the ladies to our NEW KID GLOVE, the BEATRICE." The skins of which these gloves ture made are dressed especially for them, and have a softness to the touch, a suppleness and a firmness of grain which is really unsurpassed. A scale ef tints ss varied as possible, and of which the clearness and purity leave nothing to be desired, attests the superiority of the "BEATRICE." The cut, stitching, embroidery, ftatenings and ornaments show perfect taste and complete study of form. Tbe union of these qualities explains sufficiently the importance so rapidly acquired by this glove.
