IfoMK advertisers of The Mail are not **odgod among and covered by foreign

(advertisement*.

Our prettlost type and

best places are reserved for our own Ibusiness men. There Is nothing about The Mall too good for them.

FRANK HAM., died yesterday mornog, at the home of his father, J. A. knall, in Otter Creek towdshlp. He was 'twenty-eight years of age, and a man of I much promise until disease—a bronchial I trouble—blighted his young life.

BurrAt*o Btt.L la now in Omaha, .superintending the organization of his |$itow summer show entitled "Pieturos of

Pioneer Llfo on the Plains," which will be exhibited at our fair gounds for a couple of days the latter part of next month.

THIS election of Ciipt. W. II. Armstrong would bo a graceful compliment to a nu*n who allowed an office to seek him, Instead of the man seeking the office. 8uch cases aro so rare now-a-days »s to deserve prompt and emphatic recognition.

INSTKAD of rushing off to the summer resorts to rest, our business men may take a hint from a snccessful merchant of Indianapolis, who says that when he is tired nud wants to rest he doesn't go off on tour and spend money, b«t just takes his advertisement out of the paper.

THK lawyers are getting so smart tbat one of these days they will divorce a couple before either of the interested partyles Is aware that proceedings have been commenced. We have recently noted records of twenty and of eighteen minutes, anil now George W. Farls claims the championship on getting Rose Griffith a divorce In fifteen minutes after the papers we tiled.

THIS IS the season when smart housekeeper* take stoves down, let the Are go out, throw doors and windows open and live in a deluge of soap-suds. They pay no attention to drafts or damp floors, and think nothing of oecomlng greatly overheated and alttlng down In 4 cold hall to cool off. Consequently the house-cleaning season rake* in a rich harvest for the doctor*.

THK Mall is not by any means Puritanical In regard to Sunday observance, but it will say that there is a marked difference between a quiet game out on the open commons of a Sunday afternoon, and one on that day in an enclosure, with a jostling crowd, streetcar*, busses and hacks running to and fro with Fourth of July energy, and gambling recognised by the umpire announcing "all bets or* on account of the rain.

THK Public Library is steadily Increasing in popularity and usefulness. Its tables are supplied with leading newspaper* and periodicals, and there now 2,190 book* on Its shelves, fifty additional books are on the way and 300 more were purchased this week. jDurtng the month of March 1,900 books were taken out by about 1,000 psrsons. A neatly printed catalogue was issued this week, which eaa be had at the Hb««ry.

RBV. MR. CROFTS, In hisjsermon last Sunday evening, again touched upon the south Sixth street Institution and went so far as to charge tbat tbe "newspapers, in speaking »f the unsavory matter, had "displayed marvelous moral cowardice." The Express "kicked against the charge, and to one of its reporters Mr. Crofts excluded that paper in bis denunciation of tbe *low tone of tbe press of Terre Haute. The Mail puta in a plea of "not guilty" and asks to be relieved of tbe denunciation. Tols paper has spoken in very plain words of this "unsavory local matter." But it has not gone so far as to publish tbe names of tbe men and women visitors, as was snggeMted by tbe reverend gentlemen in a former sermon. When Mr. Crofts has been

defendant

the

in as many libel suits as

newspapers

hsve, be will learn tbat

It isn such a funny matter to publish names. But if Mr. Crofts really believes the public morals demand that the persons should be known, why not proclaim them from the pulpit? A mere announcement tbat this is to be done will attract almost as large an audience as could be reached by

newspaper. It

wll require no more courage for

min

ister to name these individuals than for an editor to do so. By all means let us have the names.

they are announced

from his pulpit to-morrow evening, and tbe list guaranteed to be correct,Tbe Mall pledges to print them next Saturday in big capital letters.

ONE -f tbe needs of this city is a "Woman's Exchange,'' such as now exist in several of the large cities and are doing a great deal of good in a quiet and unostentatious way. They are.managed exclusively by ladle*, and undertake to bring together tbe makers and buyers of fancy articles, of ladies' and children's clothing—anything that a woman can make for which a market can be found. At Indianapolis cookery has been added to tbe exchange and it has been found a source of much profit as well as convenience. For instance a dinner party is given and a cake or a pudding or particular dish Is wanted. The order is sent to the exchange. There is upon the list a lady whoexcels in this line of cookery aud the order is given her. The plan is to get a room for headquarters a lady superintendent Is selected and a commission or ten per cent, is charged for all articles sold. As bofore remarked anything that a woman or girl can make Is submitted. If it Is good, and something Uiat i» wauted, it goes quickly and duplicates are called for. By all mean's let us have a "Woman's Exchange" here. It will bring a certain amount of independence to hundreds of needy women, and put spending money in the hands of many girls with talent for needle-work, painting or artistic cookery.

IN case tbe democrats control the next council, Capt. Armstrong, If elected, will have a rare opportunity to make a model mayor. He will not be barrafsed with office-seeker* aud other disagreeable party work, for the reason tbat he will nave no voice In dispensing the spoils, and so can give his entire attention to the legitimate duties of his position as becomes tbe dignity of tbe thief magistrate of our pretty Prairie City.

Tho Salvation Army is on the march for Louisville. Why don't they camp in this city? Tbe Crusade, of a few years ago, was a flat failure here. Tho only religious excitement we have ever bad was the Hammond Revival and we recovered from the effects of that along time ago. Terre Hautecontains as much wickedness to the square foot as any city of Its size, then why are we thus slightod ni

THK death on yesterday, after an Illness of four weeks.of James Commodore Decatur Hanna, for the psst six years In the employ of the Dally Express, removes from printing house square a familiar face and the oldest printer in thecity. He was born in 1818, and at tbe age of sixteen was apprenticed to John and Thomas Dowling, then publishing the Wabash Courier.

BtrrroN A Co. at the Central Bookstore have on sale the official Hand Book of the Cincinnati Dramatic Festival, a work of much interest, containing photographs of tbe stars, diagrams, casts and other valuable and Interesting Information.

THK large and elegant assemblage at Dowling Hall lastnlgbt, on the occasion of Prof. Duenweg'a closing reception was a proper compliment to that painstaking and proficient teacher of the terpsichorean art,

BASE BALL.

The new base ball park was opened last Sunday afternoon. About one thousand men and boys, with a respectable showing of ladies paid for admission. The game was between tbe Awkwards and Blues. Tbe ministers in tbeir moruing sermons threw a wet blanket on tbe game. This was supplemented by a drizzling rain, which had been prayed for in one of tbe pulpits, and tbe grounds being in bad condition from previous rains, the game stopped at tbe end of the fourth inning—tbe Awkwards having scored five runs and the Blues three.

An attendance of between five and six hundred witnessed at tbe park yesterday, a ga:r.e between the Eclipse club of Marshall, and the Blues of this city. The lattor club was victorious by a score of 14 to 6. V.V

Tho Awkwards will play the Indianapolls club at the park to-morrow afternoon.

AMUSEMENTS.

The intensely sensational drama, Across the Continent" will be played at tbe Opera House to-night, Oliver Doud Byron appearing as "Joe Ferris, the Ferret.*'The Buffalo Courier says:

Mr. Byron occupies a place on the

stage

peculiarly his own. He avails himself of an infinite variety of melo-drama-tieeffact.8, and makes the moat telling use of them iu a way perfectly natural, and highly pleasing to all wht) witness tbem. The author gets his money's worth every time. Byron plays the hero to perfection and gains rounds of apola ise from every side. He plays to large houses.

There is nothing booked at the Opera House now for next month The German Gymnastic Association, under the direction of Prof. Adolph Riedel, Instructor of the Turn Veriti, will give an exhibition at the Opera House, uext Thursday evening, which will include exercises on the horizontal bar and horse, calisthenics, fencing, club swinging and sparring. The exhibition will be of interest, and with tbe low rates of admission—25 to 50 cents should attract a large audience.

Tbe morning hoar* of each day are set apart exclusively for ladles. Tbe afternoon for everybody. There will be music to-night. A contest for a 915 pair of pants and a $10 silk umbrella, the gift of Ford A Owens, is soon to occur.
