Mrs. Susan F. Warren, relict of the late Wm. 8. Warren, died at her home on south Sixth street on Thursday, after an illness of several months. She was born in Preble county, Ohio, December 28, 1824, her father, Benjamin Whitcomb, afterward removing to Clinton, Vermillion county, where he became identified with the progress and development of that community. She was married in 1850, to Wm. B. Warren, who had come here from New York with his parents in 1S20, aud who fiOtf1 his early manhood was one of the most prominent of the energetic, prosperous business men developed in that period. Terre Haute society in' those days was based on the highest and best social foundations, and in it Mrs. Warren was a leading figure. Time, in its merciless march has carried away a vast majority of those who wero associated with the early history of the Prairie City, and but a few are leTt. A son, D.\ Louis R. Warren, of Florida, and a daughter, Mrs. Jay H. Keyes, are thesurviving members of the family.

A PLEA FOR THE WEST END.

A Letter From a Man Who Believes la Im proving It, and Who Has Spent His Money Tlitre. To the Editor of The Mail:

DEAR SIR—Pardon me for attempting to intrude on the valuable space of The Mail, but if you can consistently aud conscientiously say anything in favor of the downtrodden "West End" you will confer a lasting favor. A Terre Haute daily recently fell into my hands, and I noticed by its coin pans that a woman was thrown out of the second or third I story of a building on Wabash avenue between First and Second streets, said building being a disreputable place, so the paper stated. To come at once to the point, I wish to say that I have spent several thousand dollars (in fact, a'l my spare cash for the past five years)

In trying to build up the West End. The property I own, corner Second and 1 Wabash ave., was, when I took charge of it, in a deplorable condition, morally and otherwise. I have succeeded inI making it at least respectable, have put my good, hard-earned (lO-20-oOc) money into it, and when I began the improve-' oients was promised the support of other property owners in the neighborhood. I aril ihe poorest in purse of all I the property owners from the river to Third street. I have let my building stand idle—the entire upstairs, over sixty rooms—rather than let it out to immoral characters, and have done all in

power iu elevate the "West Eud,"

and will so continue, until I am forced, for need of revenue, to adopt other plans. I like money as well as most people—perhaps better than some—but I have, at least I pride myself as having, moral courage enough to keep my property respectable for a time even yet, though times may get very hard. However, I may be forced to succumb, and if other property owners in my neighborhood do not make an offort to do something, I will uo doubt lose my enthusiasm and diop into the common channel. The owners of property on west Wabash avenue are worth many times more than I am, and can well afford to lend a helping hand to the building up of that part of the city. Property owners on both sides of me are worth dollars to my cents, and I think it is time for some one else to make an effort. I am a Terre Haute enthusiast. I loye every -inch of its soil from the Fair Grounds to Macksville aud from Fort Harrison to down below the brickyards (south), and it is ray hope (and almost, my Heaven) to one day be a prominent and useful citizen.

Very truly yours, SAM M. YOUNG.
