THE nomination of E. P. Beauchamp fills Terre Haute quota's of government .offices outside this city, and none others need apply.

Philip Schloss will shortly remove his clothing store to the room recently vacated by (jar rab rant A Cole, corner of Main and Fifth streets.

THK bank burglars have not yet been called for trial. Nor has Bill Hicks, the burglar. The Gibson case is also catalogued in the list of deferred business.

THK HAD news comes that J. F. Jauriet, after along and desperate struggle for life, died at the home of his parents in Quincy, Ills., on Thursday evening of last week.

Rev. F. S. Dunham issued this week a

neatly prepared and well edited fourpage japer—the Parish Register—designed especially for the "Passion Tide" and the "Easter Tide."

AN unexpected pressure of advertisements this morning crouds out considerable matter prepared for this issue and prevents mention of some matters that shou.'d have attention.

Two of the big events of this week for the ladios have been the millinery opening of J. Rothschild & Co., and of dry goods by Hoberg, Root fc Co. fciach is deserving of half column mention, but rro can't make place for it.

Mail fairly bristles to-day with

new advertisements and announcements from oar enterprising business men. We should

IKIpleased

to call special at­

tention to each, but space will not permit. The advertisements talk for themselves.

A onjiKN years ago it would have been a startling statement to have said that in the year 1882 the ex-Unioa pris'onors of the lato rebellion would tender a resolution of thanks to Hon. D. W. Yoorhees for "untiring efforts in their behalf." This was done in this city last Saturday evening—and it was very proper that it was done. Time works wondrous chatig*w.

Tirt: jury in the Rogers bond case returned a verdict on Tuesday morning that at the close of the treasurer's tlrst term ho was short $10,S50.:W—and this is the amount his tirst bondsmen are called on to make good to the oonntv treasury. The boundsmon willapfteal to the Supreme Court. The suit in relation to the second bondsmen, and final settlement of the shortage, is yet to be tried.

THK fact that Terre Haute has one of the most noted spiritual mediums in the •country gives additional interest to the recent exposure of a similar materialistic medium, Mrs. Hull, an account of which will be found on the second page, taken from the New York Sun. One by one these*mediums are leing exposed, but we defy skeptics to catch our Mrs. Stewart. She's too well set about with '•conditions." Still we have curiosity to know if she-could stand such an experience as that related of Mrs. Hull.

HHNRY ROBINSOM, the wholesale notion dealer, was taken to the State Insane Asylum on Thursday. The uews of his insanity was a surprise, except to a few of his immediate acquaintances. The trouble commenced some three months ago at least it was then first noticed. HO labors tinder the hallucination that he is financially involved to such an extent that an assignment should be made. It is a sad case, and it is fervently hoped that the treatment at the asylum will quickly restore his reason, and that ho will return, the successful merchant be has been in past years.

Bin, HICKS, the burglar, who was caught by A. 7„ Foster, has again been released on the small bail bond of $500. The bond is signed by his mother and by his attorneys, John K. Lamb, S.

B.

Davis, S. C. Davis and T. W. Harper. Does their bond make them responsible for any further burglaries he may commit.

If

Bill Hicks must roam at large,

and in to be trial proof, it seems like

«ome

such bond should be exacted

thoee instrumental in turning him

of

loose.

It is singular, to say the least, that immediately on his

release

the same sort

of burglaries have been resumed—a half a dozen being reported this week.including two or three houses it is supposed he visited before his arwst. If Bill Hicks ha* resumed his work be will wake up the right man one of these night*.

THE SCREW DRIVER.

ANEW HOME MANUFACTORY.

Mr. Cal. Thomas Thomas, the inventor 'of the new screw driver of which mention has. been frequently made, came home this week from a ^isit to Chicago and celebrated Elgin Watch Factory, where he got some valuable information in regard to the manufacture of his new invention1. We give herewith illustrations of this little implement which is destined to be used wherever it is known. The illustrations show what it is without further description. One hand only is needed to set the

screw and drive it to its place. It will be especially useful in putting screws where both hands cannot be used.

Mr. Thomas will manufacture these implements over his jewelry store on Main street and will begin putting in the machinery next week, giving employment to twenty-five or thirty workmen. We congratulate him on the flattering prospects for his invention and are glad the manufactory is to be located here at home.

A NUMBER of ladies and gentlemen, with the Rev. C. R. Henderson in the lead, are forming a society for the suppression of public beggary and the relief of worthy distress. At a meeting in the office rooms of Ross A Balue Thursday evening, at which Col. Thompson presided, Mr. Henderson read a paper outlining the work, and views were expressed by Col. Thompson, Mrs. Penee, Rev. S. F. Dunham, Rev. S. M. Stinson, Mr. Mack, Dr. SOoville, Mayor Lyne, W. H. Wiley and others. Anothor meeting to adopt plan of organization will be held at the council chamber next Thursday evening. The new movement seems to be just the thing needed in addition to our other benevolent enterprises.

THE new City Directory, just out and now being delivered to subscribers, is a book of 480 pages, and is the fullest and most complete publication of the kind that has yet beon produced. It has some new features, prominent among which are the names and postofflce address of residents of the county outside the city. It gives also the present whereabouts of those who have moved away within a year, and the date of death of those who have died. Altogether the publishers, C. O. Ebel A Co., have reason, to be proud of the work, and our people have reason to be thankful that such enterprising men have undertaken a work they will continue from year to year.

N. O. BUFF surprised some of his hearers at the Ohio street temperance hall last Sunday evening, when he said "I am liberal in my methods of advancing prophibition, and perhaps some of my radical brethren will not agree with me. I believe in promoting and assisting the movement to substitute the lighter for the stronger drink that is, to root out the American system and supplant it by the less obnoxious German system.* If we can get the people to drink beer and wine instead of whisky and brandy, will it not be one step toward prohibition

GEOROF, W. NAYI.OR died on Sunday morning at the age of sixty years. He lived in this city nearly all his life and has leon a good and useful citizen. He served tlie government several years as mail agent on the T. H. fc I. road, and the township several terms as-trustee, faithfully honestly and acceptably.

THERK must be big money in the wholesale notion trade. A firm from Mattoon will open another notion house in the marble block, about the first of next month. The wholesale trade of this city is growing wonderfully.

WE are in receipt of an interesting and artistic engraving ©f the Garfield family. It has the endorsement of Mrs. Garfield. It is published by J. G. Thompson, Philadelphia, who advertises in another column for agents to sell it.

THK April number of the Fireman's Magazine is on our table. Mr. E. "\. Debs, the editor, shows marked improvement in the compilation and editorial work of each successive issue.

THK trial of Bill Hicks has been set for next Thursday. His lawyers say he will certainly be tried then and they are confident of proving him innocent of the Foster burglary.

NKAT invitations are out for a reception by Prof. Duenweg and pupils at Opera Hall next Tuesday evening.

Yorso men do no rely upon your friends. Do not rely upon the name of your ancestor^. Thousands have spent the prime of life in a vain dependence upon those whom they called their friends: and thousands have starved because they had a rich hither. Fit yourself for business, for the active duties of life, and the bed rock can quickly be laid with a course of instruction at the Terre Haute Commercial {College which Isbell A Miller have now so complete and in such successful operation.

THE PASSING5 SHOW.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS

Our show-going people hare enjoyed this week, three delightful entertainments—"My Sweetheart" fcy the Minnie Palmer party on Monday evening, and the ^bright operas of "Olivette" and "Chimes of Normandy" by the Hess company on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. The science lectures of Prof. Richards at the Opera House 09 Thursday and last evenings have been of exceeding interest, to the very, very small gatherings. This afternoon and tonight Frank Mayo will enact the character which has given him fame— "Davy Crockett."' Of his appearance at Indianapolis last Monday evening, he Times says:

A very large, and in some respects brilliant, audience, greeted Frank Mayo's revival of the beautiful backwoods idly of "Davy Crockett," last evening at the Grand, and a better pleased audience never left that house at the conclusion of auy performance. Frank Mayo is fitted by nature for the character of "Davy Crockett." His physique manner, bearing and voice are in his favor in giving the part a proper interpretation. And his conception of the requirements of the character is perfect. The story of the play is a most delightful one, full of romance, love and adventure, and contains many strong dramatic situations. It is wholesome in tone, vigorous in aetion, and possesses a variety of the very best elements which enter into dramatic construction. Of Mr. Mayo's supporting company, too much cannot be said in praise. There is not a "stick" in it. Miss Laura Clancy the leading lady, in the part of "Eleanor Vaughn," acquitted herself most admirably, dearly demonstrating her title to the position ef a finished actress and a most handsome woman. The "Major Royston," of Harold Fossburg, was one of the best "old man" characters seen on the local stage for a long while. He is a clever actor in anything he undertakes. T. M. Hunter was clever in the part of "Crampton," and the remainder of the cast was good.

The only entertainment at the Opera House for next week is on Thursday evening, when the Wilbur Comic Opera Company will play "The Mascotte." The Baltimore American says:

The merit of the play is the opportunities that it ogives for comedy. It overflows with fun. Mr. Harry Brown is inimitably funny. He appears to be entirely absorbed in his part, and his most absurd effects are produced in such a way as to always seem perfectly natural. He is the most delicious burlesque of a king that ever walked the stage, and kept the house in a state of continuous laughter. It was impossible to imagine what he was going to do next. Mr.Brand was not in good voice, but he played "Pippo" very prettily. Mr. J. E. Conly, the "Prince of Pisa," has a high tenor voice, which be uses with good taste. "Bettina," the Mascotte, is played by Miss Kirwin with great spirit. Her stvle of singing has the merit of clear delivery of the words,—an important matter in lightjopera and she acts with an abandon and gavetv that are effective. Miss West, as "Fiametta," is a clever actress and singer. With so strong a company, it is not strange that this opera should have had a run of one hundred and thirty»flve nights in New York. It is admirably done all through. The chorus of girls is the prettiest that any comic opera company has ever brought here, and the costumes are rich and handsome.

The Litta Concert Company will make us another visit next Saturday evening and give a grand concert at Dowling Hall. This is one of the very best concert companies traveling and deserves the patronage of all lovers of music. By special request the sccosd act of the opera Martha will be given in costume. The names of the artists taking part will be found elsewhere in this paper. Those who heard them on the former occasion will hear with pleasuae this return visit.

A large number of bald heads sat in orchestra chairs Monday evening, and waited and watched for the moment when Minnie Palmer was to pull up that stocking asillustrated.il) the lithographs which had been jumping at them from store windows for the past week. It was not until the curtain rolled down on the last scene that it occurred to them that this part of the performance took place in the privacy of the dressing room —the proper place for such an act.

Callender's Colored Minstrels have introduced logs and moss as seats for the first part people^ and the change has proved a hit.

The Peoria Saturday Evening Call, speaking of the Hess Opera Company's performance of the "Chimes of Normandy," regrets that the management should permit such a semi-masculiniza-tion of a part of the girls of the company. I11 the first act, these young ladies looked very neat and pretty in their short gowns and bodices. To be sure, they could not be called a particularly handsome company of young women, but they made a very pleasant appearance upon the stage. But when, in the second act, a number of these girls came upon tjie stage in full-length tights and half-masculine garb, it was little short of disgusting. There is not a shadow of an excuse for such dressing, unless it be to catch the eyes of the groundlings. There is not an incident inthfeplavto demand such a showing of the pedal extremities of a portion of the women in the cast. In this same respect, Miss Abbott's performance of "Olivette" was open to criticism. There was a needless, a senseless, and almost a shameless exposure of women's lower limbs, in the choruses. And just as long as such exhibitions are indulged in by companies that claim to be first-class, just so long good people will have reason to complain of the vulgarity of the stage. There is nothing indelicate in a woman appearing upon the stage in tights if she has need of so doing. Miss Dickinson so appears in "Hamlet," and it is not vulgar. A ballet girl may so appear, or a female trapeze performer. But there is a reason for such appearances. The dancer, the gymnast, or the woman who takes a male character, all these iiave

good cause for assuming their respective tight-fitting costumes, and there is not the least objection to it, but when such costume is donned for the mere sake of the show it makes, then it becomes vulgar. The Hess company were not more open to criticism in this respect than other companies that have visited us, but the whole custom is not good and should be avoided.
