He was discouraged but has since taken joks regularly by seizing the rod with hands. The shock has not proven iclently strong to prostrate him, ns the first, which was probably due to |e dampness froming a better conduoof the fluid. _______ Iv certain physician who is tabulating l.tances of lovers' quarrels, their recordation, marriage and happy or unhap married life, perhaps has an eye or lo young persons who are quite wel (town.

He takes the ground that if before harriage the one does not bear with the [ther's displeasure and a quarrel fvsues are sure to quarrel after they aro tan and wife.

[Terre Haute possesses much literary klent of reputation and even renown, tere ate a number of literary societies the Chautauqua circles are many, ir reading in the course of a year is ^enslvo and canuot fail to be of great fncflt to the members. The Chautauila circles have branches in nearly alt the churches. The Oxford league hns ontly been established by the Meth-

!*t

churches. Its plan is something .lilar to the olrole. It combines literand social pleasures. There are a limber of divisions of the work and :h member may ohooso to enter one of [«e department*, according to his tasite id judgement. He is required to be ligned to some special branch and thus becomes a worker. Already the »gues have secured a large memberip, principally among the young p«o-

i'th

le who find it an excellent means of Improvement and intellectual advance* [lent. The meetings thus far have been ntertaining and everyone is pleased the prospect of pleasure and profit.

There are two colonfd literary societies the city. One of the features of the meetings ts a debate. At one of the soleties this week the subject of "Labor avlng Machinery was discussed at tngth by the members. Friday: night he Wabash club debated the question: Will natural gas prove a benefit to the asiness world." This seems at first lance to be a subject scarcely debatable uastnuch as everyone would reply afrmatively. We have been longing for ho finding of gas but the probability is twill never be located In the Wabash r&lley. Cities that already have gas and other special advantnsrs in a comerciai way may yet be In the lurch, he gma is giving out In many place*, pillions of dollars have been expended pipe lines and gas plant equipments, (should the gas fail the expert'ture of so itttucb would be one of the b-*«feet iliua

cial blunders of recent years. Aside from this the manufacture of fuel gas is being reduced to snoh a small cost that it may change the gas situation. Before the century closes electricity may accomplish some of the dreams of inventors, such ss furnishing fueL The debate, therefore, was an interesting question as well as a very practical one by which the members were given an opportunity to express their ^financial judgement.

The Rev. Hollingsworth said this week that he was not alone in his opinion regarding church socials. A Method 1st minister at one of the leading churches at Indianapolis made the same announcement to his congregation lastSunday. He said that announcing church socials from the pulpit wss the most disagreeable task he was called upon to perform. The words almost choked him and he requested that hereafter ho shonld not I crawfordsville. be called njon to perform the task. His reasons were much the same as those promulgated by the Rev. Hollingsworth The latter added that he was not opposed to social church gatherings. He regards such oocasions very essential to the prosperity of the church. Such an affirir is held recently. An Invitation was extended to all to attend. A program me of music and other exercises was ren dered after which those present indulged in social conversation. There was nothing for sale and no one's appetites were appealed to for money to suppcrt the church. It Is the Intention to bold such pleasurable meetings once a month. Rev. Hollingsworth says that socials where delicacies or comestibles of any kind are served, destroys the christian spirit of giving, robs it of Its worthiest attributes. They are contrary to the scriptural injunctions regarding giving which shonld be free, and the donor should expeot nothing in return for his liberality except spiritual benefit. With the church social, It is give us money and we will give you something to eat Such was not the doctrine of Christ and such should not be the doctrine of his church.

Captain Lord, the steamboatman at Like Maxinkuckee, suicided by drowning on Friday. He was well known In tin city. Excessive drink had deranged bis mind. 42

AMUSEMENTS.

STETSON'S BIO COjtf PA«?fY.

On Tuesday evening the undying and inevitable Uncle Tom's Cabin will be presented at Naylor's by Stetson's com pany which is said to be the largest and best equipped company presenting this popular drama on the road. They curry all their own special scenery, a double baud and orchestra, two Topsys, two Marks, the Lone Star quartette, African Mandolin players, "Tinker" the famous trick donkey, Carlos1 the biggest dog In the world, and in fact all the peculiar features without which no Undo Tom would be complete. The company has merit In it and they understand how to toll the story so as to bring out the best etlects. On Tuesday afternoon a novel and unique street parade will be given headed by four dfum majors Including Major 8. A. Shields, one of the tallest men living. The prices for this engagement are the same as usual. Seoure your seats in advance. "A ItOLE IN THK oftolffrD.""

The troubles and potty trials of the men who travel is most cleverly satirized byChas. H. Hoyt, in his very successful farce-eomedyt

Hole In the

Ground," which will be presented at Naylor's opera house Wednesday evening. In his own peculiar way he holds the mirror up before the country railroad station in a small town in the east, and trains are delayed by a washout, "a hole in the ground." Here the verlous characters gather and seek to pass the time as best they can. They dance, •ing, and go through all the little experiences peculiar to the scene. Berths can be secured Monday morning.

Denman Thompson's new play, "The Two Sisters," will be presented at Naylor's on Friday and Saturday evenings, April i2th and 13th, by the original company. It is a play or everyday life, and depicts the passing events as truthfully as we encounter them on the streets of our city. There is much to amuse us, and once In awhile to extract a tear or two for humanity's sake. The first act shows the interior of a third rate hotel. The second gives a scene in Central Park, New York, with Its nurse girls, and strange figures that go a sight-seeing. In the third we see the housetops of New York, which those who are packed in the crowded portions of the city use for breathing places dujring the hot nights. The fourth shows a street scene In front ot a hotel, where the panorama is constantly moving. The story is rather Fretlbhy, but is han'Vd so delicately that it b*r*mes a ml lesson.
