OBIT VARY.
Last Sunday night at 11:35, after a long, brave struggle with death, MIHS Ellen L. Stanloy died at the rectory in this city. Three yoars ago the deceased aufforod an attack of pneumonia, Which resulted In censumption. In the long 'illness and gradual falling which followed, notwithstanding the attractions •which life had for one of her ago, resignation was so complete that every person with whom she came in contact is grief striokon over her untimely death. Miss Stanley has been a resident of this city since 1886, when she came here, with her mother and sister, at the time her brother, Rev. J, D. Stanley was called to St. Stephen's ohureh. She was born at I* Orange, Georgia, and was the daughter of an Episcopal clergyman, Rev. A. •O. Stanley, who died in Evansville in January, 1881, leaving a widow, two sons, Rev. S. J. Stanley and A. O.Stanley, and throe daughters, Mrs. Bishop, of Cincinnati, Miss Ellen and Miss Lizale Stanley. The funeral took place from St. Stephen's church Wednesday .afternoon, the services, being conduoted by Bishop Knickerbocker. The Interment was in Wood lawn pemetery.

MUSTPAT TAXES.
The attorney general ha* given an opinion which may be of Interest to uome people in this locality. It is in regard to the liability for taxation of stock held in a building and loan association. The point Involved was that the holder teceived 6 per cent interest per annum, payable semi-annually, and at any time, upon a thirty daya' notice, could withdraw alt of his money. He was not member of the association, or in any legal sense a shareholder, or entitled to receive any of the dividends or profits of the association further than the interest stipulated. The Attorney-general replied that the owner of the certificate waa merely loaning the money to the association, and had taken it* written promise to par with Interest, which amounted to, and was in fact, a note for money loaned. It was therefore subject to taxation precisely the same ft* if he •held the note of an individual to whom he had made a «Imil*r loan. In the mm of payments made In Advance, the Attorneygeuersl said that the amount paid into the association, on or before 4he first day of April, Including such .advanced payment, should ke returned for taxation, less* the amount loaned to shareholders upon mortgage security.

To the skeptic or the agnostic as well as to the devout believer in the Sacred Scriptures, the era of the great King Solomon's reign is and can be naught but the most impressive, the most interesting and grandest in all history. There are no parallels in all the records of the past nothing approximating in grandeur, in wisdom and sublimity, in any chronicle of modern ages. It was, then, a felicitous conception of the management of John Robinson's Great World's Exposition to produce the scenes, personages, incidents and events of the reign of Solomon, the grand old patriarch, sage and King. That they have done this thoroughly, acceptably and successfully, the public and the
Eas
the May settlement of

ress,' every-where the Robinson show exhibited this season, unanimously attest. Their great biblical spectacle, in its powerful sceneographic effects, in its accurate and realistic personations, aud the sumptuous lavishness attending its representation, is pronounced with universal accord to be not only a triumph in art, but a revelation in the history ef the past that has never had a precedent. Our citizens will have the opportunity of seeing this grand spectacle in connection with the manifold other wonders of the John Robinson show on Wednesday June 10th, in this city.
BASEBALL.
The home club is now complete and has settled down to business in real earnest. Of the last six games played it has won five, and if it continues the good work so well begun it will soon climb to the top of the ladder. The first game with Dayton was played aod won yesterday, another is in progress at the park this afternoon, and the third will be played to-morrow. Then will come three games with Peoria, after which the team starts en its tour. The attendance has not been such as to inspire confidence and good playing, and it is to be hoped there will be a marked improvement during the remaining games to be played here. The following is a summary of the games played this week:

The latest phase of the metropolitan muddle was the filing by the State board last evening of a petition to the Circuit court, praying for a restraining order against the mayor, the city attorney, city marshal, all the councilman, R. P. Davis and Isaac H. Trail to prevent them from intermeddling with the police department. A temporary injunction was granted until Monday, when arguments will be heard on the question of making it permanent. In the meantime the city police board had issued an order to the patrolmen that if they did not report for duty under Davis within twenty-four hours they would all be discharged. This was served on a portion of the force when the marshal was stopped by the order of court. Matters are now In worse condition than ever before.
The Duckworth family is holding a reunion here at present, with headquarters at the court house. Those of the name who have not received invitations will please send their names to Sheriff Stout, who wilt get an order of court to go after them. The officers have brought in several members of the family during the past few days, but there are probably several back counties yet to hear 'from. The occasion of the reunion, is a desire to obtain an unknown witness in the Trogdon murder case. Bis name Is Duckworth, bat which Duckworth he is cannot be determined until the whole Daokworth family is gathered together.

The Biggest on Earth/1
Bamum & Bailey's Great Snow Coj ingr Here.
The first advance advertising car of the Barnum fe Bailey "greatest show on earth," is at the Union depot, and a large force of bill posters are scattered over the city and county heralding the ap* proach of the great Rhow. The precise day of its appearance here will soon bi anuoun^fe It is coming soon, an coming
Tbe only exception to thiB was when Mr. Barnum visited London a little over a year ago, and was present at the opening performances given in that city. But he took no part in theconductef the show while it was in London. The proposal to ship it to Europe and the perfecting of all the plans in regard to the tour were originated and directed by Mr. Bailey.
For several years back the dead showman had been carefully arranging matters in regard to his interest in the show with a view to the termination of his earthly career, and his partner's continuance of the exhibition, and now the "greatest show on earth" will, under the control of his most able and sagacious associate, Mr. Bailey, go on precisely as if the world-famed Barnum were living.
There will be no curtailment in any department on the contrary, it is the intention of Mr. Bailey to make the 6how greater and grander every year, and in this matter Mr. Barnum's heirs have already signified their entire willingness to accede to every suggestion Mr. Bailey may make in this matter.
The title of the show by the terms of the partnership that existed between Barnum and Bailey is to remain unchanged, and it will still be announced as "Barnum and Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth," and any and ail printed or pictorial show bills and portraits of P. T. Barnum are by the terms of the renewed agreement, to remain the exclusive property of the exhibition, and (o be ia by it, in the same manner as has the
use been done during the lifetime of great showman.
Under the provisions of the new partnership Mr. Bailey and his heirs and tbe Barnum estate are to continue and carry on the exhibition for fifty years (the legal limitation of a contract of this nature).
Therefore tbe public will behold the familiar features of the famous showman adorning tbe bill-boards and prominent places every summer for the next half century in the Isame manner that it has in years gone by, ami the greatest show on earth will continue to increase in attractions and popularity year after

The death of P. T. Barnum will in noj manner affect tbe management or th^ present or future movements of th Bamum A Bailey show. By a provisio of Mr. Barnum's will, and a oontrac^ made with his "equal partner," James A. Bailey, previous to Mr. Barnum's, death, the show is to be continued for fifty years, under the well-known and now copyrighted title of "Barnum fc Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth."
I
Mr. Barnum owned one-lialf the show and Mr. Bailey one-half, and the persons named in Mr. Barnum's will are to represent and act for his estate in the management of his one-half interest in the exhibition.
It may not be generally known that for ten years past Mr. Barnum has voluntarily had nothing »o do or say in relation to the management of the show, and has not visited it when on the road, in this country, during the past six years. All its plans, movements, every detail, have all been under the sole direction of tbe junior partner, Mr'. James Bailey.
Oh we get used to it, we've been this way most all spring.
