iNOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON

soems, will go on forover. Every year tholr reunions draw together the old members and their friends and hours are spent In reminiscences of tho timos when the company was a credit to tho city, and one of the crack military organizations of tho State. Last night tho annual reunion occurred at the old Masonic hall on Third street, and tho good i, tlino which has gone on record as the feature of these reunions was repeated.

MAT

TERS AROUND TOWN.

Afteir considerable delay caused by difficulty in securing a suitable room, the Lincoln League completed its organization at a meeting held Tuesday night, in the rooms over the Adams express company's office, which have been engaged nM permanent headquarters. Officers were elected on that occasion, and a large number of names enrolled for membership. There was a large attendance, and the most intense interest was manifested ^in the further success of the party in its Bgr efforts for supremacy in local, State and

National political matters. If the feeling displayed there is any indication of iH success (and enthusiasm certainly is) ^lj*»tbe Republicans are not only pretty well fixed for the spring campaign, but for the general campaign of next year, for

it is the object of the Lincoln League to -develop this spirit. One of the best features of the new organization is that of having a reading at every meeting of the speech of some well-known Republican,

•or

some other article bearing on the principles of the party to be followed by a

discussion

of the same. It is a sort of

school, in fact, in which Republican theories are to be explained and demononstrated, and as suoh it cannot fail to be a success. Meetings will be held on Tuesday night of each week, and Republicans generally should not only join, but attend the meetings. Any person over eighteen years of age can become a member.

The bicycle tournament at the fair grounds next July, under the auspices of the Terre Haute Bicycle Club, is an assured success, more than enough money to defray the necessary expenses of the club having been subscribed by the members.

Tho old veterans, tinder the command of tho irrepressible Captain Hoctor, wont through a series of evolutions which showed that time had not mado serious inroads into their knowlodgo of military movomonts. Thore was singing aud speeches, and tho reading of letters of rogret from absent members. The hit of the evening was a recitation in tho German language by Phil May, and at conclusion the chairman, Capt. Hoctor, "brought down the house by inquiring in his stentorian tonos, "Gentleman, what action will you take upon it?" He appointed- a committoo consisting of Andrew Drought, Tim Conway and John Clcary to translate the poem and preserve It upon tho records of the association. Refreshments wore served In a liberal manner by the caterer, Prt)f. John Cleary, an impromptu drill was given by

tournament will be

the wind-up of the annual tour of tho Indiana wheelmen, and several hundred will doubtless be here. There will be a parado through the principal streets, the exercises at the fair grounds in,the afternoon of July 13th and probably a reception In tho evening. Terre Haute never •does things by halves, and tho bicyclists will dlscovor that when they roll in here next July.

Men mny come and men may go, but tho good feelings which lived when tho old

Governor's

Guard had their being, it

squad

of tho McKeen Kities (which showod they had not lost tholr cunning), and the reunion closed at midnight—the inest successful one yet hold by the Governor's Guard. It is safe to predict that, with this as a pattern, tho next will bo superlatively

daisy. Long lifo to the

Governor's Guards and their reunions!

The meeting of business and professional men at the Board of Trade rooms Thursday night, to devise ways and means to furthor the interests of Torre Haute—now evidently on tho road to a gratifying revival—was a complete success. Tho drift of the views expressed there, shows very plainly what was suggested last week, that Terre Haute is destined to enjoy this year greater prosperity thaa has been her share for several years past. Nothing but tho most favorable opinions were expressed, and from the character and make-up of the meeting it Is safe to predict that something will come out of it. A committee consisting of Messrs. H. M. Smith, Edwin Ellis, R. Geddes, Geo. M. Allen and J. H. Allen and J. H. Berry was appointed to prepare a plan for organising a permanent business association whose object it shall be to promote the manufacturing interests of Terre Haute, and similar in character to tho one formed several years ago. Another committee consisting of Messrs. Wm. Rggleston, J. M. Allen,

J. A.

Parker, 11. Hulman and J. R» Duncan to investigate the Southwestern railroad matter. This committee will meet a committee representing the Illinois parties interested in the Southwestern road in this city next Thursday, when a clear understanding will be had as to what Terre Haute must do in order to secure this road, the construction of which will add so much to the general business of Terre Haute. There roust be something in the road, or the business men here who are familiar with the territory through which it passes would not be so heartily in Its favor. We need the Southwestern road and must have it. No such word as fail should be known

to us, and as was suggested at the meeting Terre Haute should take a lead in the construction of the road, and make it distinctively a Terre Haute road. —,

WHERE IS J. E. McGREW THE REAL ESTATE MAN?

Three weeks ago last Monday J. E.

to him, his brother-in-law, Mr. Jack Cunningham, for instance, is convinced that he carefully planned his departure. Ffo had several thousand dollars in chsh when he departed.

McGrew's career Is well known to many persons here. He tried to practice medicine for a time then with some of his wife's money entered the drug firm of E. H. Bindley

The square hole augur, which is now on exhibition, on Ohio street, just west of Mr. Foulke's building, is attracting much attention. It is certainly a valuable invention, and our people should not miss the opportunity now presented of securing its manufacture here. A stock company consisting of J. W. Miller, C. W. Mitchell, John Foulke and Tom Donham has been formed, who will be pleased to show the machine and talk with any disposed to invest aJittte money in the enterprise. Xfcfks

The most successful restaurant man we ha,ve ever met is W. G. Sherman, of Indianapolis, with whom Terre Haute people first became acquainted as proprietor of the delightful summer hotel at Grand Haven. He was afterwards in charge of the Grand and the Bates at Indianapolis.

Co., retiring soon

afterward considerably loser throngh a disagreement which is now the casus belli of a lawsuit. Then he used more of her money speculating through Blanchard in Kansas lands and out of these transactions grew the case against Blanchard in the criminal court, McGrew being the prosecuting witness. Subsequently McGrew opened a real estate office in the name of J. E. McGrew A Co., the company, so near as can be learned, being a fictitious part of a firm name. In this office ho undertook to deal largely in Kansas lands by means of big advertisements. The measure of his success in this line is not known nor is it known why he chose to leave the the city. He had not used all the funds available. McGrew's ways, thought, often were past finding out. One of his peculiar transactions is now recalled. Once on a time, as the story tellers say, he employed an attorney to look into the value of an estate in which a young lady was interested, promising to pay 3100 for the service after he married the heiress. He was so dilatory about the payment that the attorney threatened suit before he was paid.

There in a modest arid

genteel way he opened a restaufcnt on South Meridian street. It caught on from the first, owin? to its excellent cookery, its elegant service and popular prices.

Now,

besides his original estab-

ljjjahmftiffc-an English Restaurant on one side and a Business Lunch Room on the other—he has Sherman's Cafe on south Illinois street, and Sherman's Exchange Restaurant, on north Pennsylvania street, both open all night, serving reglar meals and specialty dishes at popular prices. He says he wants two more restaurants on other streets and then he will be satisfied. He is certainly as before remarked, the most successful restaurant man we have known.

A Place of Interest.

By scanning the papers, I see mention made of the different branches of industry, viz: Rolling Mills, blast furnace, nail mills, cooper shops, shoe factories, etc., and find the matter quite interesting and instructive. It occurs to me, that the public, or at least a majority, would enjoy a visit through the now leading shoe store of our thriving city. This firm began business April 5th, 1873, just prior to the great panic. January 1st, 1884, the firm dissolved and T. J. Griffith placed his shoulder to the wheel and success followed. Every year there has been a marked increase. Six years ago the goods were removed to the present location, No. 32 south Fourth street.

Entering the store you will see on the right, a complete line of ladies' fine kid shoes, made by Goodger

This line I bought the year I began business and never have been out of a good assortment since. After passing this point your eye fastens on a beautiful lot of near fifty dozen pairs of kid and goat shoes, made by D. C. Greiner. Next gents' hand and machine sewed French calf, button, laoe and congress shoes made by Silz, Schwab

Co., of Chicago,

whose styles are not equalled in this country. To give a full description of every department would enribh the paper and make me poor. But I cannot pass without calling attention to Edwin C. Burt's, Diamond

Well's and many other lines of goods whose factories never use an imitation sole or counter. To build a solid trade one must sell good goods. Of course the prices are above the shoddy. This is expected, and I find few who object to pay a little more for a shoe if it is an honest article. I close soliciting a portion of your patronage, and extend a hearty welcome to your inspection of my stock which is now fresh. Early spring goods are here and on sale. So call at No. 32 south Fourth.

WORDS TO WIVES.

Do be willing to say fiankly, "forgive me" if fyou have been in the wrong. It is a swee womanly thing to do, am only a weak, conceited person thinks it humiliating to admit a mistake.

SCHMIDT Dealer in

Do try to keep the love you have won, and be as you can for your husband. If your hair is in "crimps'* tie a bright handkerchief or a lace veil over it, and do always wear a collar,

and keep the buttons sewed on the front ef your dress. Nothing so offends a man's vanity and taste as personal slovenliness in his wife.

Do act in accordance with the wellknown truth that woman ever holds power over man by feeding constantly aud well his stomach and his vanity. To properly feed his stomach make it a point to buy your table supplies at the White FrontGrocery of E.R. Wright
