The agricultural society has decided to offer a trotting stake larger than ever heretofore given by a simil&r organixa, tion and exceeding the Chicago Horseman's Expectation stake. It is to be known as. "The Terre Haute Purse,' $11,000 guaranteed, for trotting foals of 1890. The race will he mile heats, three best in five, to harness, and will be trotted over the Terre Haute tiack, in August, 1894. The entrance for starters will be only $200, and the payments are as small as ever required in any stake purse. The moneys will be divided 95,000 to first $2,500 to second, $1,500 to third, 11,000 to the fourth, and $1,000 cash to the breeder of the winner. In case the total amount received as payments and forfeits on nominations shall amount to more thap the guaranteed parse, $11,000 50 per cent of such excess shall be added to he first money.

"Were it not for the Amerid&tf custom of "treating" remarked a Terre Haute gentleman who recently returned from abroad, "there would be fewer paupers here. As it is now a liberal man canuot go into a saloon and meet a party of acquaintances without it costing him a good little sum each time. A business man takes this into account as a necessary expense, for he is under obligations to the topers who trade with him, and considers it no personal less but with a laboring man It is different. Every cent he spends there is an actual loss to himself and family. If he enjoys a glass of beer he must accept the loss with it, for to&er is only to be bad in the saloon, and in this place those who drink congregate. In Germany, however, another custom prevails. If you go into a saloon and see a friend there, it is a matter of courtesy to ask him to join you in drinking and it is also a matter of politeness for him to accept the invitation—but he pays for his own drink. If this German custom could be introduced here homes now sad would be made more cheerful, and children sometimes in want of food would always be provided for." Perhaps this would be so, perhaps it would not. In all events those who drink must take the consequences, unhappiness and privation.

Miohael Quinlan one of the most prominent residents of the county, died Saturday evening in Ellsworth, of consumption. He was in his fifty second year, and in appearance was a powerful man. He was born in Ireland and when but six months old was brought by his parents to this country. The family landed at New Orleans and from there went to Evansville, thence by wagon to Washington, Daviess county, where they remained about a year. Then they moved to the vicinity of Montezuma, where Miohael remained till he was nineteen years old The deceased came here to Terre Haute and' worked at the rolling mill for several years then going to Atmissburg, Parke county, where he kept a grocery for two years. From Ajv mlesburg he went to Ellsworth and built a grocery store which he ocoupled for a number of years. Several years ago he moved to this city and engaged in the grocery business with Patrick Welsh, now of Roach & Welsh. Vpon the dlssolation of their partnership Mr. Quinlan continued the business and subsequently bought the store building he occupied, the property of the estate of Thomas B. Johns. His health failing he was compelled to dispose of his grocery business and sold out to John Kennedy, ex-chief of the fire department. The deceased was married to Miss Johanna Ryan in this city about eighteen years ago and the widow and six children, five boys and one girl, survive elm. He also leaves a brother. Jamas, at Montezuma and a sister Mrs Margarette Connelly, of south eight street, this city. ___________

NEW OOLLBaa ROOMS, The gradual growth in attendance and popularity of the Terre Haute Commercial College has made it necessary from time to time to take in new rooms in order to accomodate the great number of students and it now becomes necessary to have more room.

New rooms will be added to what was already the largest Commercial College of the country. This will enable me to add a practical English department. It i« intended that the pupil's knowledge of the topics embraced in this course of study shall not rest on the ability to explain theories but that they shall secure such familiarity with them and become so expert in their application that when the actual test comes their knowledge may be applied instantly and with certainty this tho application is correct.

The topics seleeted are mental arithmetic, commercial arithmetic, rapid arithmetic calculations, spelling, practical English grammar, business correspondence, geography, civil goverment,.United States history and business writing.

Mark Twain Serious*

Mark Twain, in a current periodical,

says: "If I were required to guess, off­

hand and without collusion with higher

minds, what is the bottom cause of the

amazing material and intellectual ad­

vancement of the last fifty years, I

should guess that it was the modern-

born and previously nonexistent dis~ s- -v position on the part of men to believe

that« new idea ean have vahte.

With the long roll of the mighty

names of history present in our minds

we are not privileged to doubt that for

the last twenty or thirty centuries every

conspicuous civilization in the world

did produce intellects able toinvent and

create the things wjilch make our day a

wonder perhaps we may be justified in

inferring, then, that the reason they did

not do It was that, the publio reverence

for old ideas and hostility to new ones,

always stood in their way and was a

wall they could not break down nor

climb over."

What will you do, dear reader?

Will you refuse to "believe that anew

idea can have value"?

Or are you, as Paul found the Athen­

ians, living on Mars hill, and ready to

Investigate?

You know us, and know that we

would not dare offer a cheap imitation*

pretending that it was a faithful and

There are only a few of you who yet

How can such a revolution in prices

be accomplished It is the old story of

the sewing maohine vs. the needle, the

Goodyear welt sewer vs. the cobbler, the

twine binder vs. the sickle, the Hun­

stonesr

Are they inferior to what went be­

fore? They are tho new ideas with value
