The Indiana coal operators have an no an cod that they will abide by the uue 12th »oale agreement, though the opera tors in all the other fields that were party to the agreement should withdraw from it, The contract runs until May 1st, next. Under the terms of the agree ment, however, the operators had the right to withdraw last Monday, when the Pittsburgh operator# were granted permission to lower wages to meet the competition of those operators in their own field who had refused to sign the agreement, as under its terms it was to be in effect only so long as it was observ ed in the Pittsburg district. But the Indiana people have decided to live up to it in any event. Heretofore the chief obstace In signing wage contracts has been distrust on both sides. Charges of bad faith and breaking contracts have characterised every Joint conference Hereafter the Indiana operators are to have a record of unquestioned good faith This attitude of the operators puts out of the question a strike this winter, but it does not mean assured prosperous times for the miners, by any means, a reduction of wages should be made in other competitive fields the ohanoes are there will not he so muoh coal mined in this state.

Only a few persons know that the ori gin of the First Congregational church is traced to tbe love of a flue horse by a half dozen Terre Hauteans in 1834. In August of that year tbe Rev. Merritt A Jewett, ou his way from Baltimore to

St,

Louis, stopped at the tavern here for dinner. He was riding a fine horse and some of the villagers wanted to know all about tbe animal. Interest in the horse created interest in the man and they were muoh surprised to learn that be was a preacher. There were to be races the next week and the local lovers of horseflesh wanted him to remain over They promised to get together a oongre gation for him on Sunday, which was the next day. They did so, and filled the*/ Nrtroom. Hecaptivated his hearers and they insisted ou another sermon at night. The following day he was told that a church would be established for him if be would stay. He accepted the "call" and went baok to Baltimore for his wife and little boy. The latter was accidentally killed by astray bullet from a reckless hunter's gun soon after the little family arrived here. The church was organized on December 30th, with eleven members, but the congregations were larger and tnoluded those who were not "professing Christians" but who first admired the man because he owned a fine horse, and who, infteed, were the mainstay of the church in providing the money to keep it up.

At the sixtieth anniversary of the church's birthday, Sunday, Dec. 30th next, there will be appropriate services and tho following day there will be pub lie exercises, closing with a "social" in the evening. "Uncle Harry" Roes iB the only person living who was an attendant of the church in the beginning, although he did not become a church member until 1839. Mrs. Boudinot became a member in 1838, and she is, there fore, the oldest member of the church.

Judging from the displays in the store windows the merchants have received tip that there is no Christmas present that would be more acceptable by Terre Haute people than handkerchiefs.

The great shortcoming of most Ameri can cities is the absence of parks, or "wreathing places." In tbe larger cities, those compactly built, an open space of a couple of acres would be a blessing. Infant humanity perishes for the lack of a "breath of air." It would be a wise policy in towns of less than 20,000 population to set aside park grounds, tho size of a city square, at reasonable distance from one another that when the town becomes a crowded city there will be "breathing places" which could not then be obtained owing to the high value of the ground. The wisdom of locating a small park in the heart of the city is appreciated by those who recall the fact that Mr. Cbauncey Rose offered to this city the square between Main and Ohio and Seventh and Eighth streets and it was refused because the city woif.d have to enclose it with an iron fence. The small park, readily accessible to a penned up population, is one of the greatest benefioences that tho forethought of a wise municipal government can provide.

Singers, public speakers, actors, auctioneers, teachers, preachers, and all who are liable to over-tax and irritate the vocal organs, find, in Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, a safe, certain, and speedy relief. A timely dose of this preparation has prevented many a throat trouble.

It is formed from natural branch ea, two straight and two orotched ones, from which all tho smaller branohea and twigs have been out Away so as to leave but little mora than protruding knots. When these are well seasoned, rub, brush and robruKh, both with soft hrw and a stiff one, to remove from every crovioe in the bark every

loose particle of moss and dust. Then, with liquid gold, gild the bark all over, or, if preferred, gild only the bare wood where it ia exposed at the ends and where the limbs are out off and give a touch of gold to every orack or protuberance, or, if a smoother finish is desired, remove all of the bark and smoothly gild or onamol the whole sur face.

The screen, suspended from the upper orosspieoe, is a fringed silk rug woven on a hand loom, as old fashioned carpets were woven. It falls freely from the top, its own weight keeping it In place, but it might be tied to the stand ards—half way down and at the upper corners—with bows of broad, soft ribbon or with heavy tassel tipped cords, or a smaller rug without fringe might be suspended by gilt rings and finished at the bottom with a row of tassels in mingled shades.

These screens are handsome and are very useful where there are open fires, both in cold and warm weather, as a shield from tho heat in the former and as a screen for the open emptiness of the grato or fireplace in the latter.
