A PAPER FOR THE PFOPLE.

:2kCityJ?ews'..!:

"TO-MOKROW will be Easter Sunday.

THE ladies and the flowers will blos»som oat to-morrow.

LBNTIS drawing to

rr

a close and the

flsh will have a chance.

MARCH has been paying April very unwelcome visit this week.

THE batter begins to have a slight 'tinge that is not entirely dae to saffron.

IT is hard to realize that in about two 'weeks the picnic season will be upon as.

THE recently completed school census indicates a population of full 30,000 •this city.

ABOUT one thousand persons witness--«d the first game of base ball at the Park last Sunday. "H*

TAFFY parties are all the rage but ••then, at all parties there is more or less of an enchange of "taffy." "-Y"

OH last Tuesday we were treated to a matinee of the "beautiful snow," a sort •of a "farewell" for the season, /"t

OW the day of oar snow storm, this week, one of our large firms made a "beautiful exhibit of summer parasols.

ABOUT this time of the year the thrif ty housewife begins pitching the old -cans over into the neighbor's back yard

A NUMBER of handsome bonnets have been placed on exhibition. Different shades of yellow prevail and twenty dollars will purchase a "perfect love.

IT is said that the "returns" from the different wards in the city on last Tues day evening made some of the Democrats so "tired" they went to bed at 8 o'clock.

AFTER having taken liberal doseeof sassafras tea for our health, we will now proceed to a diet of "grcans," and can gaze at the doctor with lofty indifference as we pass by.

ONE of the handsomest window decorations in the city may be seen at C. Cronin's, a full plumaged peacock in all bis glory. It came from Chicago, where this bird is all the rage, just now.

DURING the past few weeks all kinds of green house flowers have been sold at remarkably low rates, on aocount of the •mall demand during Lent. With the advent of Easter, however, former prices will be resumed.

A LONG suffering COuntry would be greatly obliged if winter would climb down out of her lap and give Spring a cbanoe to get In some much needed as •istance on the wheat fields, the frolt trees and the flower beds. ,, 41^ 1. 1 ..yfey 3

A MAM from Clay county returned release of a mortgage which had been aeut by an attorney of this city, saying that "the recorder told him it was not good unless signed by a Noted Republican." The attorney hunted ap a Notary Public

NOTWITHSTANDING all that has been written and said about the injurious effect of the dotted veils, one firm in town has brought on three hundred yards of the veiling, and other firms probably an equal amount. The ladies must look pretty, whatever the cost.

Do not forget on Easter morning, to salute your friends by saying "Christ is risen." And If somebody gets this remark off on you, reply immediately, "He is, indeed." This is the very latest and is considered quite recherche, ac cording to an eastern fashion journal.

EASTKR will be the theme for the pulpits to-morrow. The victory over death will be recounted in words set to glorious strains of musio from the pens of the inspired composers, rare and beauti ful flowers will deck the altars and festive robes and draperies will give color to the joyous scenes in the churches where the ritual allows such display, and the grand old story will be told as it has been told to each succeeding generation for the last eighteen hundred years.

"•II.. I I.ll-T*

SH

DR. SCOVII.LB read a very Interesting paper before the Medical Society. The death rate of Indiana for the past year was lees than fifteen per thousand. Seventeen per thousand has been considered the lowest rate it was possible to reach. The death rate of the United States is lower than that of any country in the world, and no city of its sise can show a lower death rate than Terre Haute. And yet oar sanitary conditions are far from good and need looking after. An epidemic would find ns wholly unprepared.

MARRIAGE LICENSES. The following marriage licenses hav* been issued since oar last report:

Freeman WaMen and Emma lane Foster. Walter I. Loekard and Hattte Close Horace W. Kraaan and Mimta Little.. Joseph D. Lambert and Viola B. Welch. John IX Thomas and Abbte Ctwtvia. Borlla IX Key dt and M.ry K. Bledsoe. Hiram B. r«*iuie Brown. August Loekmaao llanoa Mcmtfom-

i#-Don't let an incompetent person tinker with your Watch, bat if it need* repair take to Jacob Kern who Ia a wetekmakerlu tb« full sense of the word* Jewelry repairs have prompt attention. —MRS. DOUGLASS has just returned from the East with a complete line of Millinery, Beautiful Trimmed Hats and Boanet* for Easter. Call and see them, 4S6 Main tins*.

Now that the Board of Trade is established, let the next step he to establish a Woman's Exchange. There is an increasing demand for one. A large number of women in this dty might make considerable money with their needlework, etc., but they have no means of placing It before the public. The dry goods and fancy stores do not care to give them space as they do not want the competition, and while these women need the money and are willing to work, they have no way of advertising their articles. The ladies who would gladly take an interest and assist in this enterprise are already overburdened Cannot some of our wealthy ladies of leisure take this matter up an^ make it a success? "LET me give you the greatest pointer in the buisiness," said a shoe dealer the other day. "Always fit the head first and the feet afterward, if you want to sell shoes. For instance,- a lady will come in who has a very hard foot to fit and knows it. She has always had trouble in baying shoes. I try on shoe and it doesn't fit I look at the feet and then get a shoe which very likely fits exactly, bat no power under heaven can convince her of the fact. She never was fitted at the second trial before, and she thinks such a thing an irapos sibility so I simply carry the shoes away and try on half a dozen pairs that 1 know won't fit her and finally bring back the second pair. She has forgotten all about them by this time and declares them a perfect fit, though ten minutes before she thought them 'horrid.'"

BEHOLD THE DISPLA Y. Will White spread himself again this morning in a ravlshingly appetizing display of good things he has to eat at his restaurant. Look at his show window as you go that way.
