DEATH comes tapping at the doors of our old citiseBS—the men and womed who were in the full vigor of life when the writer was a boy—with distressing regulsrlty and rapid succession. Chester Adams is the last on the list. After a sudden and brief illness he died at the residence of his son-in-law, Richard Dunnigan, on Tuesday morning. He was seventy-five years of age, and had lived here over forty years, an active and industrious msn all his lifo—having the respect and esteem of all.

HENRY STRAUS, the well known jnnk dealer, on the west side of the square, committed suicide Sunday morning about two o'clock, by jumping into Samuel J. Reese's well, where he was fonnd some two hours after. He had for some time been of unsound mind, and having before attempted to take his life, was constantly watched. On the night in question Messrs. Bnrgett and Piper, of the Ancient Order of United Workmen, were detailed to watoh. While Straus was apparently aaleep they stepped out in the yard to smoke. It was then that he slipped out, and going to Mr. Reese's well just south of his residence, he divested himself of clothing and plunged in. His funeral was largely attended by friepds anj members of the A.O. U. W.^-

Tsui County Sunday School Jubilee, in Joseph Gilbert's beautiful grove, on Thursday, was not so largely attended as was expected, bat it was an enjoyable affair all the suns.

AT the Opera House to-night the Tramp makes his Unt ap|e*jtsae.

THE Light Guards have had a little taste of camp life this week that has proved so pleasant as to cause a desire for a more extended season. Nearly all the members are engaged in active work that prev'ented spending the day 1U camp, so at six o'clock each evening Tom Gist's four horse team has conveyed the boys to the Mr grounds, where the evening and oigh| waf* sp^n,t. in regular army style.

This is the season when careful housekeepers are picking out fine, ripe, red watermelons, and getting a pale pink one almost every time. Here is a rule for gettinga ripe one, that ia said to be infallible: When the melon begins to change color inside and its seeds to turn black, a small black speck or blister begins to appear on the onter rind. These are multiplied and enlarge 1 as the fruit matures. In a fully ripened melon they are thickly strewn over the surface.

WITH each anual county fair, for several years, 8. R. Freeman, the jeweler has offered a fireminm for the biggest sunflowes. As a result this flower has been grown to mammoth proportions. Mr. F. and the formers he has thus encouraged be interested in knowing that the Minnesota farmers have discovered that two acres of sunflowers will supply a family with fuel through a long winter. The wood of the stock and the oil of the seeds make a roaring and cheerful fire.

THE new drama of "The Tramp" was presented last night at the Opera House to a fair sized audience. To-night it will be given for the last time, and as there will be no outside attractions to draw from it, a large audience is expected. The drama is rampant with communism and rather crudely put together, but there area number of strong situations and startling stage effects. It differs from anything yet put on the stage, and for this reason, if no other, is worth seeing.

THE coming amusement season promises to be the most interesting onr people ever bad. Dropping in at one of the New York dramatic agencies recently, we were gratified to learn- that as a show town, Terre Haute stands in the very first rank with amusement managers. Another fact was learned, that in the course of a season our people have a greater variety of amusements than have the New York people. Here we have one or two nlghtsjof about everything that is going, while in that city one play usually runs for several weeks.

THE camp-meeting of the colored folks northeast of the city has been remarkably successful and surprisingly orderly, considering the claBs of people too often attracted to such places. It is estimated that fully 4,000 people were in attendance last Sunday, more than half of whom were white folks. The meeting closes to-morrow, and if a pleasant day, it will doubtless attract largely from this city. The best carriage road is out Lafayette street three miles to the road running east from the Fort Harrison school house, snd thence esst about four miles. .V'.,.'

TTLER MASON, the temperance apostle, bad an ovation last night. He was once a hotel man. As such Dr. Von Moscbzlsker knew him. The other day the idea struck the generous doctor ef having the Ringgold Band give him a serenade at the Terre Haute House. Instead of this, however the band was ordered yesterday evening to escort Tyler Maton to Court Park. The novelty of the affair, the popularity of the speaker, and the magnetism of a band of music— such a band as the Ringgold—drew an immense audience. Rev. Sterrett read a scripture lesson, and then Capt. Mason made a strong appeal to sign the pledge. Twenty-eight persons did so—among them, Samuel 8tone, the Main street grocer, who clinched the act with an exhortation to others to do likewise.

THB mystery attached to the death of Bartholomew Foley last Friday haa been cleared up by the arrest on Sunday morning by officers Fasig, Vatidever and Buckingham, of John Smith, in charge of the Coal Bluff mine, on the I. A St. L. R. R. Smith makes full acknowledgement of his guilt. He says that on'Sunday, the Ilth, a stranger, who he presumes was Foley, came to his house and asked for a cup of coffee. Smith told his wife to give the man what he wanted. Mrs. Smith had no coffee, and the man asked for bread and meat which was given him. Because the table waa not spread, the man used such abusive language that Smith took his revolver from the cupboard and drove the man away. 8mith then went to his work, and from bis elevated position saw the man soon after return and attempt to force an entrance into the house, the door of which Mrs. Smith had shut in his feca. This so enraged Smith that he came down and picking up apiece of scantling struck the man over the head. Unfortunately there was an iron staple in the piece of wood, and It was this that made the wound which caused Foley's death, Calling some neighbors, the man was reqioved to a pile of lumber near the railroad, from which be soon after disappeared. Smith waa brought to the city, and before Esq. Qnigley waived a preliminary examination. His bond of fS^OO was indorsed by J. 8. Taliey and Daniel Webster. The accused Is said to be a quiet man, respected by his aeighbon.

A DOMESTIC SCO URGE. .. What a Bostoman has Discovered Concerning a Carpet and Woolen Fiend.

It may be interesting to families to know that a Bostonian has been devoting his time to studying the carpet bug or buffalo moth, the new pest which has been discovered in the household, and which threatens to become as great a nuisance in doonj as the Colorado beetle has proved in the fields. It is the larvsa of a beetle so small as to escape detection unless specially looked for. It was discovered in every room in the Boston! an's house under the edge of the carpets, and, wherever discovered, a hole had been eaten through the woolen part of the carpet. In some places the carpets seemed to have been cut with scissors. Several' larvae having been placed in glass covered boxes, those that survived without food, split lengthwise, and produced a black beetle, spotted with red and white, about one-eight of an inch long. Pepper, snuff, kerosene, and various insect powders were employed in vain to kill the larvse and beetlesbut benzine proved effective. The beetles, being sluggish, are easily caught and killed but the larvcB are so nimble that they are apt to get away. They do not confine themselves to carpets they eat furs, soft brushes, feathers, and woolen stuff of any kind, whether hanging in closets or folded in drawers. Some families that have been absent for any time have found their carpeta ruined, and the whole house swarming with insects. These have long been known in England but they have never been so destructive as they are here. It is a noteworthy foot that all our entomic enemies except the Colorado beetle, have come from abroad, and we m%y frankly say thai they are a very poor return for the good things we are constantly sending to Europe.
