THE MAIL

S- *,jr

THK SATURDAY EVENING MAIL good medium of communication between Terre Haute business men and the people who buy their goods— Because, It has the largest circulation of any paper published In this city. But not *on this account alene,

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 buj ers In the city, It Is en veloped, stamped and sent to some friend 01 relative In some other to#n ordty.

Because, It is a paper which reaches all Classen, high and low, rich and poor.

Because, Of Its very large circulation among farmers. t. Bf cause, It Is an especial favorite with the ladles, who do a large part of the buying of household goods,in addition to thejew elry and dress goods they wear, and are critical readers of advertisements.

Because, Two editions are published, Thurs day aicTSatuiday evenings, anc all ad' vertlsements go In both editions for price of one issue. Because, Its rates are cheaper, all things considered, than those of any other paper in the city.

CORRAL that cow.

JONA9 PERKINS, a well known and much respected cltisen, died at bis residence north of the oity, on the Lafayette road, Tuesday evening, at eight o'clock of nicer of the stomaoh. Be was forty eight years oi age, and was born and has always resided In this county. His wife, a daughter of the late Mrs. Elmira Bur gan, is left with a family of eight ohll wm f*rdren.

THE Sunday school rooms of the Con' gregational church have been transformed from the moat dingy and uninviting to the handsomest and most attractive in the city. The improvements have been the work entirely of the ladles, who are now debating the question of going in debt for a carpet—some four hundred yard*—or wait until they earn the money with socials and entertainments.

THE streets are in the hands of a large force of workmen, and a thorough cleaning is In progress. The men slowly shovel dirt "by the day," and talk politics "by the job" in the liveliest manner. If they were the only voters there would be no doubt of the success of the Democratic tioket. Ah, ^f we only had elections more frequently, bow nice and clean our streets could be kept.

QUE people take hold, wi«.h remarkable avidity, of all the new secret and benevolent orders that are springing up. The last to be Instituted in this city is Friendship Commandery of the Universal Brotherhood, organised last Saturday evening, with cfflcers as follows: G. F. Cookerly, I. C.: James Hook, P. I. C. James Quigley, C. G. Henry Miller, C. O. G. Martin Grace, M. O. C. D. C. Mitchell, C. O. Charles D. Flaid, R. I. C. Jerry Hedden, C. O. E. David O'Hearn, W. O. I. G. Peter Horn, W. O. O. G. Dr. Wm. H. Stevenson, Ex. P.

THE estate of the late Col. Edwards is valued at about $25,000. The heirs are Judge Edwards, of Washington, who is half brother, the grown up children of a dead half brother, who reside nekr Atlanta, and the two children of John Reinhard, for many years a merchant in this city, doing business on the old spinning wheel corner," where the Opera House stands. Mrs. Reinhard was a half sister of Col. Edwards. He left no full blood relatives. Edw rd Reinhard, one of the children, resides near Champaign, Ills., and his sister, now Mrs. Worley, resides at Aurora, Indiana. The property is mostly in real estate, which it would not be advisable to sell just now. I t'

DEATH OF IV. B. WHARTON. Mont of our readers will be astonnd«d at tbe announcement that W. B. Whar ton, of the insurance firm of Wharton, Riddle A Co.—who, only a week ago was walking our streets, in apparent good health and robust mauhood—died this morning at five o'clock, alter an illness of only one week, of typhoid pneumonia. Mr. Wharton was forty years of age, born near Bloomington, this State and has been a resident of this city thirteen years—a prominent, useful, honored and respected citizen— one that tbe community can ill afford to lose. His wife died some three and a half months ago,and be leaves an orphan daughter of thirteen years of age. The relatives have been telegraphed and notice of the funeral will be given in the Express to-morrow.

WE direct particular attention to Dr. von-Moschzisker'scard, headed "Timely Notice," and would advise all not to delay calling on him at once. The Doctor has given sufficient evidences of his superior medical skill, and his success in the cure of many hopeless cases baa been so often stated by tbe patients themselves, who belong to our most esteemed citizens, that there is no need for further praise from us. From what we knew of the Doctor, we, on bis arrival, predicted that our citizens would soon be assured of bis superiority as a specialist and physician. We now say that those who do not avail themselves of the remainder of the time that he will still be with us, to be cured by bim, do not deserve a onre. We add that they will not soon have another opportunity to be treated by a medical practitioner of his experience, skill and reputation.

The beat is tbe cheapest. You can always find it at Miller A Cox's, 522

THE BETTER WORLD

CHURCHES, PA8T0RS AND PEOPLE,

The people of Centenary gave a reception to their new pastor, Bev. J. N, Beard, Tuesday evening, and tbe Con gregational folks did the same to their pastor, Rev. Thos. It Baoon, on Thura day evening—both elegant affairs, and doing much to bring pastor and people in olosor relations.

Tbe Asbury folks gathered tn great numbers at the chapel, last evening, express, in a formal way, their grattftoa tlou at the return of Rev. F. M. Pavey as pastor, for another year. It was an interesting and happy occasion.

Tbe Asbury church is getting ijaott some of tbe people who were drawn off to establish the church in tbe sonth part of town, and whioh seriously crippled that church, Mont Rose has no regular pastor, and tbe church membership has been transferred to Asbury, and tbe Third street mission may he also trans ferred to the same.

At Centenary M. E. church—Quarter ly love feast to-morrow, at 0 a. Preaching by the pastor. Rev. J. N Beard, at 10:30 a. m. and 7:80 p. m. Sunday school at 2:30 p. m.

Rev. C. R. Henderson's themes, at tbe Baptist church, to-morrow, will be "Appeal to theSearober of Hearts," aftd "Decisive Hours."

Services at the usual hours to-morrow at tbe Christian Chapel, by G. P. Poale, pastor, whose morning subject is "The Word of God the only Regenerating Power." Evening subject: "The Gates dosed"

At the First Congregational Church. Services to- morrow at 11 a. m. and 7:30 p. m. Preaching by Rev. T. R. Baoon.

At tbe First Presbyterian church, Alex. Sterrett, pastor, worship as usual to morrow. Communion in the morning. -f.

St. tephen's to-morrow. Sunday school 9% a. m. Morning Prayer 10XA a. m. Litany, Celebration of tbe Holy Communion 11 a. m. Evening Prayer and Sermon 7}£ p. m.

Some wicked people are calling Broth er Talmage the Dennis Kearney of the pulpit.

Tbe fact is gradually leaking out that Moody and Sankey have had a sort of evangelical quarrel.

Only sixty-one out of the two hundred and sixteen Congregational churches in Ohio have installed pastors.

An Episoopal minister, aged 149 years, is said to have been discovered in Balti more. His preaching days are pretty much over.

Quaintness in the pulpit is sometimes what salt and pepper are to food but, like pepper and salt, you don't want too much of it.

We are grieved to learn that Mr. McCoskry, late Bishop, won't lecture. When a man is deposed from any thing we flel that tbe country has aright to hear him.

Rev. Ezekiel Robinson, the oldest minister in Maine, who recently died in the eightieth year of his age and the fifty-sixth of his ministry, had read the Bible through 166 times.

The wife of a minister residing near Pawlelt found him feeding chickens with dough in the dining room. She "shooed" the chickens out, her husband boxed her ears, she complained to tbe church, and it compelled him to resign,' put him out on tbe fowl, as it were.

A member of a church being particular about tbe new minister, is said to have prayed aloud at the late meeting of tbe elders: "Send us not an old man in his dotage, nor a young man in his gosllnhood, but a man with all the mod era improvements."

CALL AT MRS. MIDDLE'S. Tbe ladies will find it interesting to call at Mrs. Riddle's, nest week. She will return the first of the week from New York, where she has been selecting the finest line of ladies goods she has ever displayed in this city. They have been coming in this week, and embrace novelties not before seen here, and an enumeration of whioh wonid occupy too much space. Call and see the pretty things for ladies wear and adornment.

WHITE SHUTTLE SEWING MACHINE,

A new machine, and flud it superior In many respects to all others. Tlie machinery is simple, Strang and durable, and runs lighter than any other machine. It Has a double feed, whicn carries the goods per* fectiy straight over the heaviest seams with perfect ease. Every wearing part of the machinery is adjustable, whereby wearing or lost mo ion can be taken up by tightening screws, closing the parts around the Journals. Another improvement of vast importance is a strap ingenlouRdevioe whereby bobbins can oe tilled without removing the goods from under the needle simply by moving a little clutch on the fly wheel which stops the machinery on the table. As we desire to see genius rewarded we take pleasure in saying to the publio that we acknowledge the White Shuttle Sewlnft 'Machine to be the most complete piece of mechanism in sewing machines that has beer put on the market:
