Mrs. Will Hamilton was able to ride oat one day this week, after along and tedious illness.

J. R. Kendall, of the Vandalia, came that

htime from Hot Springs this morning great!y benefitted in health Uncle Jerry Beal let the light fingered gentry get |31 from his pocket at the circus ticket wagon Thursday.

Emil Hirschberg, the cigar and tobacco dealer, has made an assignment to Philip Schloss for the benefit of his creditors 10,000 is the estimate of both assets and liabilities.

It is understood that when the arduous duties of his Panama Canal Company will permit, Col. Tornpsoh will dosomejpara graphing for the Express under its new management.

The Ludowici brothers came home on Wednesday from New York, where they purchased a stock of boots and shoes They will re-open their store room, Sixth and Main on the 10th of May.

George M. Allen has not resigned his position in the Navy, but has obtained a years' leave of absence to try journal ism. At the end of that time, if news paper work is to his fancy he will retire from government employ

George H. Green, of Clinton, New York has been visiting here this week He left for his home Wednesday night going by way of Chicago, taking with him as a brideMiss Carrie Fuller. Rev. P. Crofts united them in marriage at the residence of the.parents, Mr. andiMrs. C.

E. Fuller, on north Sixth and a half street. The Washington correspondent of the Indianapolis Journal says: Sam Butler, who takes editorial management of the Terre Haute Express is considered one of the brightest paper men in Washington. He has been several years the correspondent of the Boston Eyen ing Star, and was also attached to the editorial staff of the Critic and Don Pintts' Capital.

Erwin 8. Erney, whose name is an nounced for the office of County Auditor is in every way fitted and qualified for the position. There isn't a man in the county better posted in county affairs and the duties of county officers—a qual ification for which an Auditor, more than any other county official stands in need. He is well known, nnd if nomin ated will make a strong race.

Rev. E. F. Howe preached the past two Sundays in Peoria, Illinois, and pleased the people so well that, as we learn from 8. R. Henderson, of the Peo riaCall, it is quite certain he will receive a call out there,at a salary of $4,000 a year The Peorians are to be congratulated, if he concludes to go. He was expected here this week, on his way home, but, much to the regret of his many friends, he passed by on the other side.

W. II. Duncan will retire from the editorial corps of the Express with tomorrow's insue. We happen to be in position to know that be has done some excellent work on that paper. An easy and graceful writer, well posted in county affairs and the make up of our local political parties, carefully weighing every statement and utterance, in duntrioiiH and ever at the post of duty, he has proved eminently fitted for the position he has held. No part of his own work was ever ncglected, and he wan ever ready to assist in the work of others on the paper, or to do any special or extra work that might ariso. We are »orry to lot him go out of the newspaper family in and about newspaper square "Brennan, the merchant tailor!' What does that suggest? To a large majority of the male population of this city, it meaus a man that in bis line of hastiness takes the lewd in keeping nobby and elegant piece goods, doing his own cutting, and making perfect tits, putting in ihe bo^t trimmings for the money, and wluse pi ices are the lowest. Heke.'psat No. 6M Main street, and received yesterday another lot of piece good* for suitings, of the latest designs.

When you want anything in the line of books or stationery of any description, an etagant picture in chromo, oil or engraving, a pretty mantel or table ornament, a nice pocket-knife or a pair of scissors, blank books, pocket memorandums, or any article usually kept in a Arst-dass bookstore, call at J. Q. Button A Co*. Drop in at the Central Bookstore, occasionally, anyhow, and see what new things they have. It ia one of the places in town where people mre welcome whether they want to buy «r not.

The Mail a permanent success.

John Donaldson, the Secretary of the

Sunday School Association, desires us to ask all supeiintendentsin this county to make reports of their schools at the earliest possible date, in order that he may make his report to the State Con vention in June.

Hold on a minute! If you want a nico set of light buggy harness, or an elegant lap robe, or both, at a reasonable price call on Peter Miller, No. 505 Main street

R. Foster & Son, the enterprising furniture dealers, are having a big run on these drab and blue Cottage Sets They are elegant and cheap. Drop in ladies, and see them.

Oh! ain't they beauties! Those newstyle Lap Dusters, just received by C. C, Fisbeck, 212 Main street. Farmers and teamsters in want of Chain Harness should see his manufacture and learn prices.

What shall I get to eat is a com mon exclamation of the worried housekeeper at this season of the year. Let us suggest that you go to Richard Dah len's, No. 11 south Fourth street, for fresh vegetables of all kinds, poultry hams, choice country butter and eggs oranges, lemons, bananas, canned meats of all kinds, maple syrup, sugar syrups jellies, preserves, jams, pickles, chowchow in bulk and glass, canned fruits and vegetables of the best brands at bot torn prices.

The city election occurs next Tuesday. Vote for the best men for councilmen, and if you want a hat, a good serviceable bat, one of the latest, newest and most desirable Bhapes, call at S. Loeb A C-o's corner of Main and Fifth streets, and look through the styles now on exhibition. Perhaps you are attached to that old hat you are wearing, and in your eyes it does not look so shabby as it does to others. Thero is nothing like neat and genteel hat to give a man standing among his fellow men, and win the admiration of the opposite sex, and don't you forget it.

OTHER PEOPLE.

Peter Cooper lives almost wholly on milk. A man on the New York police force is eighty-four years of age.

W. H. Vanderbilt pays over |200,000 a year in taxes on personal property. He is rich and can aford it.

The Chairman of the New York City Council is a barkeeper. The world is pretty much alike all over.

David Swiug, of Iowa,had to pay $3,000 for kissiag the hired girl. He thinks kissing is hire than it ought to be.

Jesse James was partaker in robberies of over 1250,000, and yet left only about $200 to his widow. Evidently the life of rime doesn't pay, in any sense. iieneral Hancock is a very early riser, and, it is said, gets up at 4 o'clock to enjoy a sunrise walk, the only time in the whole twenty-four heurs, as he expresses it, "when folks will let him alone and give him time to think."

A CARD OF THANKS.

I wish, through your paper, to thank the sisters and friends of my dear mothMrs. Eliza F. Summers, for their kindness and assistance rendered during her long illness.

—"Mr. Foster, what is the price of this Body,'" asked a lady who was admira handsome Body Brussels in at Foster's Carpet Hall, the past week. $1.40," was the answer. "Indeed! I saw the same thing, pattern and all, at John Shillito's, a few days since, and their price was $1.00 which goes to show how inuoh ahead Terre Haute is of Cincinnati.

—In making our rounds through the city yesterday, we dropped into the new store opened by the Globe Tailoring Co., at 21 south Sixth street, and were surprised to see the numbe.* of styles and patterns displayed by this enterprising Arm. We were shown through the stock by Mr. Stuart, the manager of this branch, of whom we learned of the magnitude of the business done by this Company. Being direct importers, they pay more duty than the largest woolen jobbing bouse in the United States and as they control one of the finest woolen mills in this country, where they manufacture select styles—which they confine to their own trade entirely—and having ample capital, they are prepared to take all advantages offered by jobbing houses to cash purchasers in large quantities. They have branch booses in all the principal cities of the United States, giving employment to upwards of twenty-five hundred persons. Terre Haute may well congratulate herself in having secured a branch of this Company, and we are sure our dtitens will not fail to appreciate the inducements

Strong Arguments.

LADIES, GENTLEMEN, PATRONS AND FRIENDS.

THE STRONGEST ARGUMENT AFTER ALL, IS THIS: THE BEST TEST OF ACCEPTABLE SERVICE ON THE PART OF ANY MERCHANT ISTHB NUMBER OF PERMANENT CUSTOMERS HE SECURE8. SOME CLOTHING H0U8ES ASSUME, THAT A BIRD IN THE HAND IS WORTH TWO IN THE BUSH, AND TAKE THE CHANCES OF THEIR CUSTOMER'S RETURN \FTER HE HAS ONCE BEEN STUCK, BUT ALAS, THE SUPPLY OF NEW CUSTOMERS FINALLY RUNS OUT, AND IT'S ONLY A QUESTION OF TIME, WHEN THE ARTFUL DODGER IS LEKT NO MORE LAMBS TO SHEAR.

I HAVE A STRONG AND GROWING TRADE. MANY OF OUR CUSTOMERS HAVE DEALT WITH US FOR YEARS, AND SEND THEIR FRIENDS HERE TO BE CLOTHED. THE VERDICT IS THAT OUR MEN AND BOYS CLOTHING IS RELIABLE, AND WE LAY MORE STRESS ON TH\T THAN ANY OTHER FEATURE OF OUR BUSINESS. DOWN RIGHT HONESTY IS WHAT WE INSIST T'FON, BOTH IN QUALITY OF GOODS, CLASS OF MANUFACTURE, AND THE TREATMENT OF CUSTOMERS. OF OURSE I HAVE MADE MISTAKES. WHO HAS NOT? BUT THE MAN DOE8 NOT LIVE WHO CAN TRUTHFULLY ASSERT, THAT WHEN INFORMED OF A FAULT, IN OUR MERCHANDISE, I EVER REFUSED TO MAKE IT GOOD.

I SOLICIT YOUR PATRONAGE FOR MEN'S, YOUTH'S, BOY'P OR CHILDREN'S CLOTHING, EITHER READY MADE OR MADE TO ORDER. MY SPRING STOCK IS COMPLETE, AND NEVER WAS BETTER. I INVITE YOUR INSPECTION.
