It seems that the women from Paris surpassed our Terre Haute fashion cir cles at the opera house in the matter of clothes.
A coal operator, speaking of the sale of the Foley coal land to a Chicago syndicate, commented on the increasing control of the mining industry in this part of the coal field by Chicago men. They know a good thing when they see it, arid the refaction is that our home capitalists do not, or else are indifferent to the opportunity. This operator said ho had great confidence in the future of
the advantago it possessed in the supply

Tho freshost railway gossip is that Marvin Hughitt, president of the Northwestern, which is one of the Vanderbilt systems, is to make an inspection trip over the Big l'our system. There is a a suspicion that this means tho Vandorbi Us want some Infoimation about tho Big Four other than that which the loquacious Mr. Ingalls furnished to them.
Hicks' weather was here this week aecon ling to schedule. The thunder and lightning storms passed from the Rocky Mountains to the east and they were quite as severe as ho said they would be. Dispatches from Minnesota, Iowa Kansas and the Dakotas the day they began were sensational enough to call for display
headlines in the metropolitan newspapers but if you didn't read the news and there wa* no severe storm in Terre Haute Hicks is thereby proved to be wholly unreliable.
Tho police board hold an annual meeting this week and received the superintendent's report which showed the number of arrests, etc. The board said it had no information about the alleged use of the police to force the sale of the Terre Haute brew of beer and so the matter was dropped. It was also de cided to order the gambling houses closed. This is the old formula. It is the one on which Carter Harrison had a patent. He would order the police to close the gambling houses and thus lull the public mind to rest until the vigilant press again made public the fact that gambling was going on in fact had never censed, when his honor would again repeat the tactics. The gambling houses of Terre llauto will not be closed before the Mav election.

The advocates of co-ordinate education at Wabash college are scheming to hare Coates college removed to Crawfordsville. Their plan is to locate the latter college in the grounds of the former and thereby give the students of both institutions the benefit of the same lectures and the same laboratory and science apparatus. The effort was made a while back to establish co-education at Wabash but a majority of the board of trustees voted it down. A Craw fordsvine dispat.'h to a newspaper says tho cession aires removal has become a live subject now because Coates college "is said to consist literally of a smail number of students,' no business, the receipts some d&js not an excellent corps of teachers and a big being more than $2.

'SUCCESS.
The attendance of students is limited only by the accomodations. There are between 6fty and sixty boarding students and that is the capacity of the building. There is a debt of about ?45,000, chiefly acquired through the purchase of additional land, and were it not for the interest on this debt the college revenue would meet all payments.

Members of the board of trustees of Wabash college who are opposed to co education, mixed classes, and who vdted down the proposition to introduce it, have been sounded on the co ordinate plan and they are inclined to yield to it. That is as far as the scheme has progressed. Indeed, it is not yet known whether or not there

The disappearance of applo aud peach orchards in this region, and the high
cability of setting out a big orchard as a financial investment. Of course, it would be several years before there would be any return, but tho first investor would be the first to realize. Everyone whose memory goes back twenty years can recall tho farmers' wagons filled with apples and peaches, which were sold at the doors of residences by the bushel, and were so cheap that the schoolboy tilled every pocket several times a day. A gentleman who has had experience in growing fruit .savs, howovor, there has been a change in the climate which make3 impossible a return of the big crops.
Railroad men acquainted with the operation of the Evansville A Terre Haute road give Mr. Barlow, the new manager, credit for bringing about an improvement in the service. He is impressing upon all departments that, tho purpose is to bring the road up to the highest standard. A particularly notice able policy of the new management Is the discharge of all the men in the general offices who were allied with either the Mackey or Grammor factions during the demoralizing quarrels a year ago. About tho only ones left are the master mechanic and superintendent.
Poor old Indianapolis! The state capital was not in it with Galesburg, 111. C. W. Williams, the Independence, Iowa, horseman will locate in the Illinois town and not in Indianapolis. Gales burg bid high for him. The wonder is that Indianapolis did uot call upon the people of the state to raise a fund to induce Williams to come to thatcity, using the threadbare argument that what is good for the city is doubly good for the state.
Judge Jump and Mrs. Jump returned from California Thursday. The judge isnotenthuasticover the Midwinter fair. It was not so big nor complete as he had been led to believe. Even yet there are buildings not ready to be opened to the public and the landscape work is not finished.

Tho grand officers of the Loyal Order of Moose were here two days this week engaged in making a complete revision of the constitution, by-laws and ritual, all of which had been found to be faulty in the several years the order has been in existence. They have caused expulsions and dissensions, and the revisers believe that with new ones the order will rapidly increase in membership. When Fred Lee, of this city, was elected worthy dictator at the national convention last year his predecessor, Son tag, of Toledo, was disgruntled by his own defeat and began organizing an independent order. He has since abandoned this purpose, and asks to be restored to membership, from which he had been expelled. It is said that the order of Foresters, of which he is the national organizer, called him down on the Independent Moose organization project.
The Indianapolis Journal says the twelve wholesale grocery houses of that city did $8,000,000 worth of business last year. Two houses each did #1,500,000 and a third #900,000. The volume of business of one Terre Haute house amounted to nearly 33,000,000—will be $3,000,000 or more this year—and another one was close on to $1,000,000.
Louis Smith says the toy manufacturers know when the top season comes to a day, just as accurately as they know St. Yalentine'sday. Thereare, of course, postponements now aud theu on account of the weather, but the dates are fixed for all these boys' sports. Tops were due last ^Monday. Marbles follow quickly after tops. And, there is some occult eommunication between the boys of the land by which these sports are taken up simultaneously.
Very few persons are aware of the fact that six or seven times as many daily newspapers published outside of Terre Haute are circulated iu the city as were read here ten years ago. There has been a proportionate increase iu the quantity of second-class mail matter, that is magazines aud other periodicals.

It may not be generally known, but it is a fact, that the struggle for supremacy between the railway labor brotherhoods and Eugene Debs' American Railway Union is on right uow in the west, and it is a fierce contest. Debs' order Is particularly strong on the Union Pacific system, and he is out there getting in his work at this opportune time when the men are most interested iu the question of labor organization because of the action of the United States courts. Though nothing is said or done publicly to indicate the high pressure rivalry that exists, railroad men know that the struggle is on, and that it is a question of the survival of the strongest as well as the fittest.
Several members of the Terre Haute house front window club were discussing the merits of advertising from the standpoint of professional men. The conclusion was reached that newspaper publicity was a great aid iu procuring practice for the lawyer and the doctor. It was remarked that half of the success of one Terre Haute lawyer was due to tbe frequency with which his name is brought before the public by the newspapers. It was reasoned out that many persons never suppose they will ever have occasion to employ a lawyer. Suddenly they find themselves In need of one and they rush off to get the one whose name is familiar to them. The same holds true as to doctors. Everyone has heard the remark: "I've never had to call in a doctor." When this fortunate individual who has no regular physician happens to be in need of medical attention he sends for the doctor whose name is most familiar to him. Of course the lawyers and doctors have a code of ethics which prohibits them advertising their business as a merchant does bat ail of then appreciate the fact that they are gainers by newspaper publicity. Of course there are those who sincerely object to newspaper prominence bat some who protest really hope, and scheme,

The Terre Haute Brewing Co. has guaranteed one of tbe $5,000 stakes for the Vigo fair races, the 2:20 pace. The total of §85,000 fir the week is $30,000 more than Chicago offers for the week following. For a while some of the sporting centers could not believe that Terre Haute's offer was genuine, but they have been forced to recognize it as the biggest money ever hung up for a light harness meeting.
Judge White of Rockville heard arguments yesterday on a plea in abatement made by the defense in the case of Banker Beach. The plea is that as the grand jury based its indictments on evidence found in Beach's bank books he could not be tried on them, the constitutional privilege which protects a person from giving evidence that would criminate himself holding good in this instance. The books are said to be his private property and not listed in his assignment. The prosecution maintains that the court can not oonsider evidence submitted to the grand jury and can rule it out only in the trial in court if it is incompetent. The argument was »ot concluded when Judge White adjourned court to return to Rockville, on the afternoon train. Tne plea was made to the indictment charging Beach with embezzling the Savings Bank's money. This was no doubt, a mistake, as the parties to the Savings bank affair did not keep records of the transaction in books. Undated memorandum was enough record in this peculiar transaction.
The local brewery people are rejoicing over the fact that at the opera house Thursday night the name of the Terre Haute Brewing Co., when displayed by a magio lantern, brought forth more applause than did the pictures of Cleveland and Harrison.

While not immediately fatal it is among the most nauseous and disgusting ills the flesh f* heir to, and the records show very few or no cases of radical cure of chronic catarrh by any of the many modes of treat rrfent until the introduction of Ely's Cream Balm a few years ago.
