prizes to be summoned before them. The names on the list are from some of the best families in Columbns, and many of them are church members. The recent formation of a Law and Order League there has aroused public sentiment and caused several parties who gamble to pav a fine for so doing, and has worked up a sentiment against this class of law breakers. To even up matters, some of the sporty class have determined to have those who play progressive euchre and win prizes also pay foi violating the law. Nothing for years has caused such a stir as this in society circles in that city.

Last Monday Joshua M. Hull com pieted the third year of his service as superintendent of the Vigo county poor farm, and before giving way to bis successor his friends determined to njake the last day of his official life there one which he would long remember. A surprise was planned for Mr. Hull and his most estimable wife, and early in tho morning thirty-nine of them drove out (o the farm, taking with them well filled baskets of all tbe delicacies of the season. A portion of the time was spent in viewing the farm, and an inspection of the buildings afforded ample evidence of Mrs. Hull's skill as a housekeeper, everything being found in real dress parade order. After dinnor the party spent the time in social conversation. Those preseut were H. Jackson and wife, C. N. Demorest and wife and W. C. May and wife Mesdames Walter Phillips, Nora Grants C. C.

Biel was the spokeman, and in a neat speech presented Mrsu Hull with a handsome silver tea set, and Mr. Hull with a beautiful masonic oharm and chain. Mr. Hull ro»pooiKi for his wife and himself in a touching manner. It waa a rery pleasant affair and on® which will bo long renumbered by the participants. Mrs. Hull was ably •assisted in receiving her guests by her daughter, Mrs. Otto Biehle.

The

announcement of the return of tho crinoline is causing several kinds of convulsions among the fair sex. Old women laugh, young women are contemplative, and men are terror stricken. No one possessing the smallest modicum of delicacy or tact would think of suggesting that any of the women of the present day ever wore crinoline, though it is known that the bird cage skirt died an unregretted death about 1863, just thirty years ago. Old prints and old plates which show a fashion that, in spite of all that envy, malice, and common sense could do held its own a dozen years, are still extant. However, the anti-crinoline league will not be a necessity after all for Worth has lifted up his voice, and says that no costume with skirt of 1860 proportions shall be allowed to leave his establishment. The utmost ho will allow is slightly fuller skirt than the sheath-like one lately fashionble. And every woman of sense, no matter how democratic, will rejoice that there is an autocrat in dress and thnt bis llat has gone forth.

March came in like a lamb, and if the people had bad the selection of weather they could not have done better. But' as the month is only in its infancy it is probable there are still blizzards ahead. P. S.—The blizzard is here.

The man who was driving a bay team to a wagon on south Twelfth street on Saturday, February 18th, aud who met a carriage on that thoroughfare, is requested to return to 51 south Twelfth street the red valise picked up by him, else the owner will resort to other means than this for its recovery.

Nearly all the government storekeepers in the city are laid off on account of the reduced capacity of the distillery, which is expected to close for repairs in a short time. None of the government employes expect to return to work again, as a change in collector is expected the near future.

The Vigo County Medical Society held its regular monthly meeting in its room in the court house on Thursday evening. There was fair attendance to hear Di. Link's paper on "Septics and Anti-Sep-tics, or, the Anti Germ Theory of Disease." Dr. A. W. Spain was selected to read a paper at the next meeting.

There is a great demand hereabouts for copies of the blue book, not so much because democrats do not know what they want, but because in the event of getting left on their choice they can find something else which might suit them. Col. Wm. F. Schaal has a couple of the specimen volumes which are in great demand

A. G. Austin and ex-Sheriff A. D. Weeks are in Washington. The former took along with him his boom for the postmastership, and the latter will'push his claims for some good western position—probably register of the land office or receiver of public moneys. There are a number of other patriots who will go later.

Friday evening March 10th, "The Davis Family" and a number of Eastern Star members will give a concert and entertainment at "Union Church" five miles north, of the city. The proceeds for tho Library Fund of Ellsworth, at which place Misses A. Lawrence" and C. Beach are teachers in the school and promoters of the entertainment. Admission 25c.

A "bulletin issued by the Census Bureau this 'week gives the jxietnodist church statistics of Indiana. Tt gives a list by counties, showing 132 organizations, 110)^ churches, valued at $142,875, and having 7,033 communicants. It was generally believed that Vigo county had several tine places of worship and a large membership of the methodist denomination, but the Census Bureau says it has not, at least it is not on the list.

The work house is accomplishing the object for which it was intended, and tho stone pile is a valuable assistant in breaking the monotony of a jail sentence. There are now seven able bodied bums hard at work preparing material for street improvements, and under the management of the Superintendent, Harry Hamil, there is a growing accumulation of broken stone on hand. The assurance that he must work is causing the bum and tramp to give the Vigo county jail a wide berth.

Two damage suits were commenced yesterday. In the Superior court Elijah J. Lane commenced proceedings against the Chicago & Eastern Illinois Railroad company, claiming $15,000 damages for afoot lost in a wreck near Newport in June, 1891. Iu the Circuit court Eva Dakin asks for $590 for damages sustained from the Street Railway compauy on acoount of its failure to carry her to her destination last January, by reason of which she was compelled to waik aud caught cold which confined her to her bed several days.

The Plucky Spaniel.

Capt. Williamson was shooting in India with a spaniel, which apparently found some game which his master guessed to be a hare. "The dog came to a stand over a bank, wagging its tail, with ears up, and his whole frame in a state of ecstasy. I expected that he had got a hare under the bank, and, as the situation was in favor of getting a shot, I ran toward liim with more speed than I should have done had I known that I should find a tiger sitting up and staring Paris in the face they were not three yards asunder. As soon as the dog found me at his side he barked, and, giving a spring, dashed at the tiger."" His owner admits that his own alarm was so extreme that he did not observe the further demeanor of either till he saw the tiger cantering away, followed by the little dog barking. It is, jf course, just possible that the tiger was "nervous," and that the little dog merely exhibited the impudence habitual to little dogs, who know that they can worry a horse or a bullock into beating a retreat when quietly lying down in a field.—Spectator.
