TERRE HAUTE, MARCH 28, 1891.

TIIIW week Sockless Simpson entertained cultured Boston with his sleight of moutb performances.

NKW YOUK has raised 3155,000 for the "Sherman monument, but it would require a powerful microscope to make the 4Jrant fund visible to the naked eye. -S»K'Ki.Ess SIMPSON iiHK

booked himself

f»r a speech in Indianapolis. When be arrives the people of the capital should turn the hose on him and do something for his bare feet.

Tin: Alliance members of the Kansas Legi»laturo have returned to the bosom of their constituents, and are now busy •explaining their acts of omission. Peffer Avas their only act of commission, bat lie doesn't count.

fiiK Mct'oy-Hatiield fued has been Hettled in Kentucky, but the announcement is accompanied by the statement that a mad dog scare is on. It is an intonHftly cold day when Kentucky can't furnish a sensation o. some sort.

Now that he has retired from politics ex-Senator Farwell can devote his attention to his 000,(KM) acre farm in Texas. It recently eost $2."0,000 to fence it. If ho wishes to cultivate the acquaintance of tho Alliance his acres would be a powerful intlenco.

K\-SI NATOK HI.AI it has accepted the 'himnc IIIII.HIOII and will sail for the llowery kingdom about the lirst of May. His long winded speeches on his pet liobl'V, the educational bill, will bo mi«sed in the Senate, whoso members wish that tho want may never be supplied.

\HM-:I.I,'S ctiaiices of succoss seem to l.e growing smaller by degrees and beautifully less as his campaign progresses. The indications are that if the Irish \nise stands by I'arnell they will both dicker out at the same time—Parnell forever, and the cause for a long time to collie.

Tin: statement Is made that in British Columbia the Chineso follow tho laws of their native land in regard to the punishment of criminals, and that of late a number of criminals have been beheaded in tl latest and most approved fashion. Thee is no evidence, howevor, that the dominion government is making any serious fuss over the matter.

Tili: (juadrennial reports of Blaine's poor health are being placed in circulation again by the industrious nowswionger, and call for the usual denials by the great statesman's friends, from all of •which it is to be inferrod that the "Plumed Knight" tuay still be considered a Presidential possibility, which he undoubtedly Is, and a very strong one too.

Tun native Presbyterian church of •lapan has revised the ereod of that denomination, both by addition and subtraction, so HH to make it conform to their modern ideas of what the faith should be. As Presbyterians are not given to radical changes of any sort it is not likely that tho Japanese departure will be looked upon with much favor by tho English speaking Calvinists.

IN an interview in Chicago tho other lay Col. W. W.

Dudley admitted the

soft, Impeachment that tho stories concorning his enmity toward the President, while somewhat overdrawn, were in the main correct. As to his future political course the colonel absolutely refused to say anything, but when auother campaign opens in Indiana there is little doulu that he will be heard from in some way.

THK remains of the late (»en. Joseph K. Johnson, who died in Washington last Saturday, were Interred in Green Mount cemetery on Tuesday. SaveGen. Ben regard, »en. Johnson was the last of the six full generals of the confederacy. The funeral ceieuionies were simple and devoid of display, that being tho request of tho family. The old soldiers of both side* are passing rapidly away, and as they are laid awav in their graves old animosities should be buried with them.

KKI*OKTS were sent out from Washingion this week that in a short time Sena tor Edmunds would resign his seat in th« Senate, and Secretaries Proctor and Noble were soon to retire from the cabinet. The scarcity of news was probably the foundation of the stories, although it is asserted there is some ground for them. In thw© latter days of the nineteenth century, however, it might b« noted that while very few politicians have died in office none have been known to resign.

fund for any judgment which maybe obtained against them for misreprawmtation of firms'ortniit. The law has been sustained by the Stat* supreme court The case will now go to »he United state« supreme court, which will b© a»kcd to reverse the decision en the ground that the provisions of the interstate act of the federal constitution ap­

plies only to these agencies. The supreme court will probably decide that the State has the right to regulate such matters in such away as to afford proper protection to its citizens.

ENGLISH royalty has been insulted again—this time by Russia, to one of whose princes a granddaughter of the queen is married. It is asserted that nnmberlees indignities have been heaped upon the Englishwoman by the czar's family, but Victoria thus far has had to grin and bear it as becomingly as possible. Family quarrels are not pretexts for war in Europe any more, so it frequently happens that insults are quietly laid away for future reference.

THE annual howl is now going up from certain portions of Kansas and Colorado over the crop failures in those localities last year, accompanied by the usual request fer seed and other little extras. If the matter is investigated it will usually be found that the fellows who do the howling and begging are those who sow not, never work and consequently never reap. They prefer to live by the sweat of other men's browsand the labor of their ewn jaws.

A

FOOLISH

statement was telegraphed

over the country this week that Chinamen in this conntry were going to in sist that Minister Blair should be received in China as he bad insisted that Chinamen should be received in this country. Mr. Blair's private opinions cut no iigure in the case. He now represents the United States in all that the term implies, and as]the accredited representative of the United States he must be received and respected as the dignity of his position demands. Otherwise China will be called to account.

MAJ. MCLAUGHLIN,

Indian agent at

Standing Rock, says there is no danger of any further trouble with the Sioux this spring, and that the 17,000 Indians under the agencies in North and South Dakota and Nebraska will resume farm ing operations wben the weather per units. Their farming consists chieily in drawing rations, farming implements etc., and making the agent believe that the government doesu't furnish them half enough. If the Indian were given all he wants everything on this round globe would soon disappear in his capacious maw.

ALTHOUGH out of the Seuate Mr. Ingalla is by no means out of politics. On political questions he continues to be heard from with great regularity. He thinks Harrison is entitled torenomination, and that he will receive it, but at the same time warns the Republicans that if they go into a campaign on an anti-silver coinage platform they will not bo able to carry a State west of the Alieghanies. The reduced Republican vote in Kansas probably has much to do with Mr. Ingalls' views on the silver question, which leads to the remark that the Kansas statesman might be available as a Presidential candidate.

Easter.

HOW THE DAY WILL BE OBSERVED BY THE CHURCHES HERE.

To-morrow is Easter Sunday, the end of the Lenten season, and in church circles the most important day in the year. As Mont Blanc rises among the leaser Alps, piercing the clouds with its sheen of weird and mystic beauty, so towers tliis day above all other days, bearing on its front a signiticanoe more profound and a splendor more transcendent.

A number of the churches have prepared special programmes for the occasion, among them the following:

Special preparations for Easter have been going on fer some weeks at tne Congregational church, and the exercises in the Sunday school, church services and evening song service will be unusually interesting. A large chorus choir of young people—and this church seems to have a goodly share of the rising musical talent of the city—have been rehearsing some line Easter anthems, for both morning and evening services, and a large choir of children will take part in the Easter song service, besides singing a special song or two in Suuday school. Miss Frances Carlton will sing a solo with a beautiful violin obligato—by Mr. Ernst Laux, of the Polytechnic Orchestral club—in the evening. The floral decorations are in Miss France* Foster's charge, and it goes without saying that the church will blossom as a rose—or as a lily. The day will be observed as a sort of church family gathering—old people, young people, friends, strangers, everybody cordially welcome.

In the Uuiversalist there will be preaching at 2:30 p. m., by the pastor, Rev. R. N. John. Subject: "The Resurrection. The Society of Christian Endeavor meets at 3:30 p. mM and will have for its topic "Religious Festivals."

Easter services will be held in all the Catholic churches to-morrow. In St. Joseph's church the first seryice will be lew mass at half-past six in the morning. The second mass wilt be at 8o'clock and during this the choir will chan't some select Easter hymns. High mass will be celebrated at 10 o'clock and Mozart's mass will be given with full orchestral accompaniment. This will be a grand musical treat. Rev. father Frewin will preach the morning sermon and a song and vesper service at 7:30 p. m. will close the day. At St. Patrick's church the Yonag Ladies' Sodality, numbering 65, and St. Cecelia's, numbering 60, will receive holy communion in a body.

Centenary church has issued one of the handsomest programmes for Easter ever seen in the city. To-morrow the church wili celebrate Its twenty-fifth anniversary with the Easter serrioes. In

the afternoon appropriate services fill be held, and in the evening a concert will be givton with the following programme: Organ Voluntary, by Mis. E. T. HazeflMB Quartette, "He

Pope's had an immense opening yesterday afternoon when the attraction was Jefferson & Taylor's familiar piece, "A Dark Secret." Familiar, however, does not express the definition of the play of the present week. The original of what are generally denominated the "tank" plays, "A Dark Secret," is the best. In the production of this season a number of new eflects and scenes are shown. One prominent fault with the play has always been in the foundation for the plot, the murder. It has always been left to the imagination of the audience, with but a small index to the real facts. This year, however, It is shown in a vision scene, so that the story Is more fully appreciated. As for the production as a whole, it is very good. The leal water representation of the river Thames, the church, the Henley regatta, with George Hosmer in tho winningshell, the drowning scene, all are worked up to the highest point of Interest. A taking feature this year is the troupe of trained dogs. Their display of intelligence is wonderful. The company is a capable one.
