THE studonts at the Commercial College wero favored last night by the proprietors, Isbell A Miller, with auother social gathering. Refreshments wore served. The Misses Ensey sang, Prof. Carhart read, and the evening was mad# highly interesting.

MOST of our business men in squaring the booksof last year's business, feel satisfied with the result, although the volumo of trade was not up to what they had anticipated early in the fall season. The outlook for this year is cer talnly bright. With good crops again this year, business ought to fairly bounce.

THE wifo of Charles M. Hirzel, on Thursday morning, whllo dressing, was taken suddenly ill, and at noon was a corpse. Dr. Young, who was summoned, pronounced congestion of the brain the cause of her death. Sho was fifty-two years of age, and besides her husband, leaves threo daughters and a son, all grown.

J. A. FOOTS has placed his eighteenth annual catalogue of seeds ou our table. Aa representing his growing business, it is the largest he has ever issued, is elegantly illustrated, and creditable to the printers, Moore A Langen, from whose press It is issued. Mr. Foote is building up au immense trade in seeds, and this prettp little book indicates that the business is prosperous.

THE tramp must work and then he must go. Chief Vandever has completed arrangements with the board of commissioners by which all tramps applying for lodging will be placed in the jail and in the morning will be compelled to work on the streets. They will then be taken to the city limits, and ordered to leave. A second visit by the same tramp will ensure him a day an«l a half's work on the streets. The vagrant law is to be enforced also, on the street loafen and bangers-on of saloons, and similar places. Terre Haute is getting to be very undeairable place for tramps to sojourn, and this class of population is not so large aa in former years.

HERE is a bint as to where to place your advertising. Mr. Fechheimer, advertised the lucky number drawing his New Years doll in the daily papers an entire week, without finding the owner. At the close of the week he put the same notice in The Mail, and bright and early Monday morning, Mrs. M. C. Ryan, wife of the well known farmer south of the «ity, appeared with the lucky ticket, having learned her good fortune for the first time in The Mail.

S. R. FREEMAN has again been made the victim of a boid theft. About two o'clock yesterday afternoon, while he was engaged in th( reaj.of his store, a young man entered from the front,reached over the show case and took a 9100 gold watch, and walked out. He turned the corner at Reibold's, crossed 9ver Third street, and went up the alley and got

away

with his booty. W. H. Man­

ning saw him in the store, but supposed he was examining Mr. Freeman's goods in a regular and legitimate way.

THE Opera House building belongs to Terre Haute again, thanks to Wilson Naylor, the veterin and wealthy grocer, who bought it of George P. Bissell on Tuesday afternoon. Riddle, Hamilton A Co. negotiated the sale, the largest real estate transaction ever made in this city. The price paid was $75,000, and it is considered a good investment for Mr. Naylor. He turned in $20,000 worth of property at the side and rear of his grocery building, and was able to draw his check for the balance of $55,000. The bouse cost when built, including the ground, $180,000. Considerable improvements will be made on the exterior and auditorium during the summer •oason.

Brooks A Dickson continue as lessees of the Opera House, their present leasee being for three years with thee privileg of two more. We regret to learn that in this change Horace M. Smith is to retire at the close of tho present month from the management of the house. He has managed the amusement business of the house for several years, and has been faithful in the discbarge of his duties. It is a very trying position to be ground between the interests of managers of companies, the owners and lessees of the house, to say nothing of a public given to growling, and it would not be surprising if he failed to please everybody. Certain it is, though, there are few persons who can take his place and do so veil.

THE Clutter case reached the hip pocket on Wednesday. Judge McNutt aad James M. Clutter were the roachers. A motion had been made to compell the defendant, Mr. Clutter, to pay the fees 0' Mrs. Clutter's attorneys. These fees inouut to $1,550, including a claim for $100 each by Thos. W. Harper, C. F. McNutt, and J. W. Shelton, and $50 for e:pensea and fees of J. G. McNutt in taking dispositions In Kokomo. A number of attorneys testified that these were msonable. While Judge NcNutt was atdrcssing tho court he was approached

Clutter, who was ordered by the at-to-ney to sit\iown. Mr. McNutt in doin so, remarked that it was never hiscuston to enter a court room armed, but that he had been menaced by Clutter in the fo-enoon, with a revolver, and that on account of this he had come prepared for set defense. The bailiff ordered Clutter tOslt down, which he did, and McNutt coitinued without interruption but at tb" close of his argument, on going into thi consultation room he met Clutter, wlo applying an offensive name to the laryer, both reached for their hip pokets, and one or the other, or some of he bystanders would have been shot on the spot, had not Sheriff Cleary pnmptly interfered. Clutter then promeu.ded Ohio street for a while, giving veit to

regtrd to the lawyers who had managed MR. Clutter's case.

A TERRE HA UTE ENTERPRISE. tpon the reorganization of the "Terre Htite Stone works Co.," in May 1882, the Company purchased extensive quirries of tho finest building stone in thsState, locatod at Stinesville, in Monroerounty, this State, on the line of the Loiisville it Chicago Railroad.

THE PASSING SHOW.

SHOWS AND SHOW FOLKS.

Only two dramatic entertainments ui the Opera House the past week, but the.-c have been of more than ordinary meri' "The Edgewood Folks" has been playc^ here twice before, and is pretty we: known to the public, and yet it dre\ one of the largest houses of the seaso: on Saturday evening. Sol Smith Russei' seemed funnier than ever. As an impersonator of eccentric character he certainly has no superior.

The drama of "100 Wives," which as its title would indicate is a story of Mormon life, will be played here on Monday and Tuesday evenings. It is claimed to be "the greatest of all American dramas, successful on account of its moral and effective scenes, attracting the attention of the ministers of the gospel and the religious press for the earnestness of its purpose and the timeliness of its mission."

An exchange remarks that the average French tragedy involves a woman. Why the use of the qualifying word French Most tragedies, whatever the nationality, havo some remote relation of a feminine sort.

Adam Forepaugh paid $1,000 to the father of a Polish boy who had an eye put out by one of the employes while he was peeping beneath the tent last season in Detroit.

John E. Owens says that he will become a star again next season, but not from a necessity of making money. He lost heavily in mining speculations several years ago, but owns a large amount of property still. He has an offer of a large salary from a manager who.desires him to play Caleb Plummer but the comedian declares that he does not like to bring tears to an audience, but laughter, and will therefore take the risk of producing anew comedy.

Charles Callender, an old ministrel manager, was the first to employ genuine negroes in that business. Nearly every colored performer has been trained and put on the stage by him. "In jubilee songs and plantation dances," he says, "they are superior to white men, and havo the advantage of a natural dia Ject but they have scarcely any sense of humor, and require to be taught everything that they do on the stage, their power of imitation enabling them to learn readily. They tend to coarseness, and have to be kept underdose restraint all the whilq, No member of a company under my control is permitted to speak a single word before an audience until I have passed judgment on it." Of the negroes who have gained popularity as minstrels, Mr. Callender picked up Billy Kersands as a bootblack in the Bowery, Billy Banks was a levee hand at Wheeling, Va., Bob Mackintosh a roustabout on a Mississippi steamboat, James Grace a waiter in Richmond, Lew Brown a Philadelphia barber, and Sam Lucas aNew York coachman.

W. C. T. U. LECTURE COURSE. The next entertainment in the lecture course will be given by Miss Nelia F. Brown, the distinguished elocutionist, upon Thursday evening, Jan. 18th.

Miss Brown has no superiors, few if any equals, and her dramatic delineations from Shakespeare are rivals of the gretft Murdock.

Mrs. Livermore will not appear until sens time in February.

TERRE HAUTE FATTTRDA EVENING MAIL

v'

Bartley Campbell's latest drama**' work, "Friend and Foe," written esp»i ially for William J. Scan lan, was pla\ I Thursday evening to a good audience For excellence of construction, natur simplicity of dialogue, brightness humor and reasonable, intelligent treatment of character, this is one of the be?' productions of this prolific dramat.iwriter. Although it was written to enable Mr. William J. Scanlan to come forward as a star, the minor parts have net been neglected, some very artistic touches in character work having be. given the subsidiary conditions of the play. It abounds in Irish appeals to Irish patriotism, which Mr. Scanlan makes the most of and which never fail to awaken bursts of applause. The hero is of the pattern which a certain class of romanticists love to look upon as a typical son of the sod. Such broths of boys may possibly exist outside of tho admiring fancy of the Celtic poets, novelists and dramatists. It is a very genial, pleasing type and it is a pity that they all stay at home, instead of coming to leaven tho rank lump of Irish immigration. There is certainly a bright future for Mr. Scanlan. He acts gracefully, naturally and intelligently. There is a charm in his frank, handsome face, and he sings some pleasing songs of his own composition in a rich sympathetic baritone voice, which with cultivation might accomplish a good deal.

OBITUARY.

OZIAS DKPUY.

Last Sunday morning the sad though not unexpected news came of the death of Dr. Ozias Depuy, which occurred at Yuma, Arizona, at eight o'clock on Saturday evening. The remains were for I warded on Sunday evening, and arrived hero yesterday evening. The funeral services will be held at the father's residence, corner of Sixth and Mulberry streets, to-morrow at two o'clock, and will be attended by his late comrades, the ex-Light Guards, the McKeen Cadets and the Terre Haute Club.

Ozias Depay was born in Vermillion county, this State, in October, 1852, and removed here permanently in 1874. Previous to that he attended the High school here. He attended the Rush medical college at Chicago, from which institution he graduated in February, 1878, and immediately began the practice of his specialties. After recovering partially from a sprained knee, which caused him much suffering, he was attacked by consumption, and to its ravages he finally fell a victim. Leaving here last June in the hope that che mila climate of Lower California might afford him permanent relief, he was doomed to die away from his friends and relatives, a stranger indeed in a strange land. He arrived at Yuma the week before Christmas, and died at the Southern hotel at that place. For two months before his death he was unable to eat anything scarcely, and co ild not speak alSove a whisper.

The Gazette pays him the following tribute: "His was a kind, unselfish and loving disposition, attracting to him and binding in firm friendship, all whom he met. He nursed his patients skillfully and attentively, ministering to every want with kindness, and working for recovery with the greatest zeal. In bis profession he had already, though young, made a reputation, ana had be been spared to live, would have risen to high rank. He was thoroughly conscientious and constantly applied himself to learn the great secrets of the science of medicine."

THE Mail mentioned a few weeks ace the probability of Moses Alshuler cturning to this city to engage in ousiess. We are glad to learn that he bus !ly determined on this. The Mattoon azette has this to

had numerous proposals to bring or

send us customers, provided we would

pay for it in way of discounts or com­

missions on purchases. We regard su«h

a method of doing business as morally

wrong, and while we do not know that

such a thing'is done by any house in-

our city, yet we do know that an im­

pression has gone out to that effect.

Therefore we wish to say once for all

that this Ao/we pays no commission, and

that everyone, whether in the city or out

ol-the city, man or tcoman, old or youngr

big or little, who comes to our store,

whether it be it the solicitation of a

friend, at the suggestion of an acquaint­

ance, or of their own volition, to make

their purchases, can do so with the most,

positive assurance that no one toill stand

between them and tts and divide the profits*

We do not intend that any house here or

elsewhere shdll sell goods cheaper thai*

us, therefore while our prices are strictly

net, they will be found to be lower thaa

those of any house that sells subject to a

discount.
