The police court had little work to do this week—on three mornings there being no cases in the jwlice court. Set this down in favor of the enforcement of the 11 o'clock law.
ml go Mack, on yesterday granted Charley Itoberts, the Parke county burglar a new trial. This will be the third and the proverbial luck may come to him in "the third lime's tho charm,"
The police, headed by Sergeant I)wyer, made another raid upon tho gamblers at an early hour Sund-iy morning. This time it was at Phil May's saloot:, ilve men were captured. They are to have a bearing before Justice Slaughter on Monday afternoon.
The Supremo court has affirmed the judgment of our county court that tho eitv'pny the Ifudnuts |8,000 for damage, done their mill by the overflow of the sewer into tho basement of their mill. The city should have settled this claim at the tirst when the Hudnuts offered to nettle for about one-fourth tho sum awarded by tho court.
The street car coinpany'ls going to run a line down Thirteenth street Into the lower end of the Sixth ward, which we venture to predict will prove to be as wise a move ax the construction of the Third streot line which has been a sue cess from tho start.

An extreme can »f tendernessot hear was that of a well knovfn gentleman of llils city lately, ho hrdered a couple or young chickens for his Sunday dinner. They came Saturday morning and were alive. That noon, night ami Sunday morning he fed those chickens, and by that time he had IH'POHIO so attached to them that he gave them to tho milkman feeling It. would be a betrayal of confi deuce should he allow them to be killed
Another attempt was made at the council meeting last Tuesday ovenlug to oust the present police board. It was the work of the wrathy all-night saloon men and gamblers, and they came near being successful. Tho vote of the councllmen was a tie, but Mayor Kolsem, much to tho sui prise ol the men working &>r the overthrow, voted no, and the movement failed. The lovers of law and order will commend Ills Honor for this act. ________________
The members of the Congregational church, by a voto which may be considered unanimous, have extended a call to Kev, M. A. Daughorty to become the pastor of that church. Mr. Daugherty has preached here three Sundays with so much favor as to indicate that he Is "the coming man." He has returned to his home in Cambridge, Mass., where he has a wife and sewn children and after conferring with them will make known his declson. It la very probable, however, that he will accept the call. The salary was tlxed at ?2,r00.
I*st Monday night, for the first time in many years, every saloon in this city was closed at midnight. This was in pursuance of an order of the police commissioners passed on that evening, and adopted with such unanimity that the police and the saloon keepers were given to understand that it meant business. The order is to close at 11 o'clock, as the law directs, but the police have been given to understand that It is It clock until I a, at which hour the doors of every saloon must be closed. So far as known the order has been faithfully observed. _____________
"1 have been wry much Ix^hered lately," said a horse dealer one day Ibis week, "with a question arising out of a deal which has bwn to me a souire of greater annoyance than the sixteen poxale. I sold a horse to B. for |80. In few day* he came back with the bone, and I re-puivhased the animal for fTO. I immediately re-mold him for ftVi. The question Is 'How much did I gain or lose by the transaction When I bought the horse hack for $70 I certainly made $10, and when I sold again for I aaaurredly lost |S. Now, If I gain |10 and lose fft my net gain, it seems to me,ta$&. But on the other hand, after my firataata I had no 'horse and fSO, while ««*r my second sale I had no horse and only 175, ^consequently I must have lost f§»'\ ,*

A custom in the Congregational church Sunday school Is occasionally quite embarrassing to ladies of uncertain age. It began with the children and extended to the older people. On each Sunday following a birthday the person who has thus shuffled offanotber year marches to the front and drops as many pennies in the missionary-box as he or she is years old. It can readily be seen how embarrassing this is to many. They resort to all sorts of tricks to avoid divulging the truth. Sometimes a lady will put in over a dollar, and as everybody knows she is not a hundred years old, it lets her out of the dilemma. The mis-sionary-box is the gainer.
There never was a more striking instance of the doubtihat resides in a jury room than in the verdict returned in the cose of Howard, the colored man who struck Johnson on top oi the Cox building, causing the latter to fall to the ground three stories below. It was shown that Johnson had been quarrelsome and had been drinking that he had thrown a hatchet and otherwise caused Howard to be on his guard. When Howard struck Johnson he was in fear of a renewed attack, yet the jury gave him four years in the penitentiary on the charge of assault and battery with intent to kill. It should also be said that Johnson's injuries proved to be slight, decidedly so considering the distance of the fall.
"The divorce cases th^t are never tried, far exceed those that come to trial," said an attorney the other day. "You would be surprised to know hov^ many women come secretly to lawyers to find out what the law can do to relieve them of their matrimonial chains." To the credit of the profession he stated that the lawyers frequently give advice that leads women to bear the ills they have, rather tbau to bring the matter before the world. An 6dd thing in divorce cases is that the divorce is nearly always granted—that is, it may strike outsiders as odd, but tho reason is simply that they hardly ever go to trial except there is absoluto proof. Scores of women in this city are compelled to submit to a galling union because their husbands are cautious—devilish sly, so to speak.
A HOME FOR OLD WOMEN. Tho Express states that the old Dowling homestead located at the end of north Fifth street is being entirely rebuilt and refitted President W. R. McKeen, and is to be endowed and presented to the Ladies' Aid Society as an Old Woman's home. Fhe homestead is historic in this vicinity. The grounds cover in all about four blocks, extondlug from Fifth-and-a-half to Fourth, and from First avenue about two squares north. The residence as it now stands is a spacious and comfortable looking building, situated near the center of th$ grojun4$ ami both on Fifth-and-a-haif street and First Avenue. The building is a two-story structure, and stands at the summit of the well graded lawn. The grounds are covered vHth mammoth forest trees, and daring the summer afe one of the most shady and pleasant resorts noar the city. The improvements which Mr. McKeen Intends making are to bo very extensive, arid have'already beon commenced. The house is to bo entirely rebuilt as It now stands, another story and mansard roof added, and new porches built on all sides. Tho lawn is to be cleaned up and regraded to give the house a more commanding appearance, all the outbuildings either rebuilt or replaced by new ones, new fences built entirely round the grounds, and the large fountain repaired. The house wtll be comfortably fitted out, and endowed sufficiently to amply supply all the needs of the great institution it will be. The property is owned by Mr. McKeon and during the past few years has been occupied by Mr. L. F. Perdue until quite recently when he moved down town. ........

THE DEATH ROLL.
The number of interments for October in this city is surprisingly small, being only 20 and equally divided between the two cemeteries. It must be remembered, however, that the interments in the Catholic and Jewish cemeteries are never given in the city report, as they are separate institutions

NA YLOB'S OPERA HOUSE.
Mian Eunice Goodrich, a pleasing actress of tiis Lotta type, has been playing this week a round characters to well pleased audiences. She has the support of a very good company. That their work has been meritorous is evidenced by the size of the audiences which have increased nightly. The manager has also met the popular demand for low prices of admission, these being 10, 20 and 30 cents. To-night Miss Goodrich will appear in a new play written expressly for her, entitled "A Straw Man." A gold watch will be given away to-night to the holder of the lucky number received at the door.
It is seldom that a week of such strong and varied attractions occurs at Nay lor's as that of next week. On Monday even7 ing the attraction will be the magnlficient spectacle of Zozo, the Magic Queen," for whioh seats are now, selling at Button^ Many changes says the New York Graphic, have been made in the text apd bvpiness of the play since it was lastacted in this cicy, and it has in consequence been greatly improved. Miss To ma Hanlon is a bright little actross, who sings admirably, and Miss
Montegriffo is a cultivated singer, with a-i
pleasing stage presence. Mr. George
lean, whd is determined to plant the flag of-his country in the domain of the Magic Queen. A score of pretty girls rich and modest costumes add materially in the success of the performance. The scenery is handsome, the transformation scene being especially gorgeous.
Sol Smith Russell comes on Tuesday evening, with his new play, "Bewitched." Theater-goers from Prince Fid wards Island to Southern California know that there is but one Sol Smith Russell. It would be unfair to say that hi* fafvp is his fortune, although Mr. Russell fias but to look his audience square in^the eye to excite a roar. But there, is .'.otneL thing beyond his rare, quajnttJl»w»vor:, that makes him the favorite iMilurhijsir' of the American stage. Througll^tho comedian's remarkable mobile ffy:i there" ever shines that indefinable something that tells of a 'gOod heart? fist Earnestness that inspires confiden^o, Uiat m'Ailiness that attracts.

A month later it was also brought out in the original German version at the Thalia theater, in the same city. At both houses it met with the most enthusiastic reception, having been produced upward of 150 times. Since the first production in Vienna, in November, 1885, it has been played 1,000 times in the principal theaters in Germany *and America. Mr. Conried will produce "The Gypsy Baron" with the strongest cast that has ever been heard in comic opera in this city, and with new costumes made in Vienna, after original designs by Gaul, the historical painter of the Imperial opera house in Vienna. This grand production wllJ take place on Thursday evening, and a maguificent.receptlon should be awarded it.

I While Dan Fasig will receive bis friends this evening at his Health Office, and show them the most elegant billiard hall in the State, he is compelled on account of the billiard tournament in Chicago to postpone the formal opening until the 25th, when he will have here at least eight of the leading players who will take part in the contest there. He will make it one of the red letter days in the history of billiards in Terre Haute. As stated the hall is now ready for business. It is certainly a magnificent place, the tables and furniture and mirrors lining the wall being of the most elegant, together with the latest improvements for the accommodation of players.

A MARVEL OF PURITY
Royal Baking Powder a Perfect Leavening agent, absolutely free from lime and alum, 'f:
The Royal Baking Powder is considered by all chemists and food analysts to be a marvel of purity, strength, and wholesomeness. It is a perfect leavening agent, making bread, cake, rolls, muffins, and other pastry light, delicious, and wholesome. It has superseded the use of cream of tartar and soda, and of soda and sour milk, in the work of the best cooks, whenever once given a trial. Hot food raised with it will not cause indigestion, but may be eaten with impunity by those with the most sensitive digestive organs.
Furthermore, the Royal Baking Powder is now the only baking powder before the public free from lime and absolutely pure. This is due to the improved method by the use of which it has been made possible to produce a perfectly pure cream of tartar, from which all the lime has been eliminated. This chemically pure cream of tartar is exclusively employ^ in the manufacture of the Royal Baking Powder, so that its absolute freedom from lime and all other extraneous
substances is guaranteed. Professor McMurtrie, late chemist in chief to the U. S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.
"I have examined the cream tif tartar manufactured
and used by the Royal Baking Powder Company in the manufacture of their baking powder, and find it to be perfectly pare, and free from lime in any form. "All chemical teste to which I have submitted it have proved the Royal Baking Powder perfectly healthful, "f uniform, excellent quality, and free from Any deleterious substance. WM. MoMURTRIE, PHJD."
