W. J. Strang, the McKeen block Jeweller, was the victim of a robbery last Saturday night, jost as he vfas preparing to close up, by whioh two smooth strangers secured diamond rings and other jewelry valued at |800. While one #f them Interested him in the proposed purchase bfa ring a confederate grabbed a tray of jewelry and made his escape. The other man made such a strong talk about being a perfect stranger to the thief that he succeeded in escaping. The police were notified at once, and in a short time Officer Nick Roth captured one of the men in the C. A E. I. yards where they were getting ready to take a train for the north. He

proved to be the man who had talked *.' buying a ring, and gave bis name as Thomas Cody, wh$h is believed to be an alias. His partner escaped by crawl ing under a oar, and Officer Roth, who realized one of the impossibilities ofbe ing in two plaoes at the same time, was compelled to let the fleeing thief go The second thief was captured at St Louis on Wednesday. His name is Frank Montrose, and he was formerly brakeman on the Van. His v?ife was with him at the time of the arrest and was brought here with her husband. She is at present at the Friendly Inn.

Owing to his contemplated removal from Terre Haute, Robert G. Watson, secretary of the Terre Haute Trotting Association, will not be able to give to the duties of that offioe the time be has heretofore, and which has done much to make a sucoess of their meetings, and he has appointed as assistant Will H. Duncan, who has done muoh good for the trotting association and for the agricultural society, for which hg was along time secretary. The selection Is poculiarly a fortunate one for the association, as his knowledge of the business his thorough familiarity with the gentle men interested in trotting horses, render his services strikingly valuable. He took the position on the first of the month, and from this time will devote his entire attention to furthering the interests of two big trotting meetings of the year. Care and attention to the details of the .secretary's office can make or unmake a meeting, and it is safe to say' that this year's meetings will be sueoessful.

Men .who advertise in The Mail (and their number is legion) are likely to hear from it from all quarters of tjie globe. One of the features of the Holiday Mail was a fourth page advertisement tot

T. J. Griffith, the popular

Palace Shoe Store man, and it oontaihed a remarkably strong likeness of his familiar face. Not long ago he reoeived a letter from Paris, France, that oon taitied as an address his photo from The Mail, pasted on the envelope, fol lowed by his street number. With this unique address it reached him $11 right. It doesn't spoil the story b.y telling that the letter was from his friend, John G. Helnl, w,ho.In. his oontlpjmjjat ttavflfe was in Paris when The Mail reaped him, and recognlzlng the clever portrait, U9ed it as a letter address. The Colonel feels quite proud of the envelope, and justly so.

It is a remarkable week that does not furnish a sensation from the country surrounding Terre Haute. The latest one was-fumiahed by our little neighbor on the south, Prairleton. Elaborate preparations had been made for the wedding of the sixteen year old daughter of Madison Bryant, a wealthy farmer, and Ferd Little, a young farmer of the neighborhood. Many ot the guests had arrived, when Mr. Bryant asked Little to let him see the marriage license. As soon as he got possessiqp.of it he hurried into the parlor and buMed the document in the presence of 1 the guests. Little ba9 secured another license, and there is talk of an elopement. Mr. Bryant justifies his action on the ground that Little broke his promise to abstain from the use of liquor.

When Congressman-elect Steele sent out an invitation to the other congress-men-elect to come to Marlon and break bread with him, and eat and be merry, says John O. Hardesty in the Anderson Times, the Times said to him frapkly that he was flying into the face of, fate, for if all attended there would be thir teen of them, and thirteen is an unlucky number. The Times said that

the prevailing superstition something would happen to one or another of the men. The prediction has come ^tfue. Congressman-elect George W. Farls was oaught In the Vandalia wreck on Monday and all but lost his life. He was badly injured and the result of his injuries cannot yet be foretold. It is better to not mohkey with that thirteen superstition.

Now Tea Table Cover.

Anew fashion is td make linen oovers for the 6 o'clock tea table with a valance. One seen and described by The Housewife has the part that covers the top of the table cut in a square to fit it The valance, whioh is about 12 inches deep, is gathered so that it is moderately full and fastened to the center by a small cord or welt covered with white linen. The valance is finished at the lower edge by a hemstitch an inch wide. The square that covers the table top is bordered by conventionalized primroses about the size of a 20 cent silver piece and by, many leaves. The colors are opalescent, one flower being worked in softest violet or a pinkish shade, one in pale gold and others in pale old rose and a very soft blnish green. The leaves are all of the greRi. Both flowers and leaves are worked in long and short stitohes. The same flowerB that border the center are scattered singly and far apart over the valanoe.

The masquerade reoeption given by Terre Haute Division No. 8, U. R., last evening was not attended by a very large crbwd, the cold weather keeping many away, but It was a great social success. Many novel costumes were worn, and a very enjoyable time was had by the jolly crowd In attendance. The grand march was led by Harry Elnser and Miss Freda Wittenberg. One of the most notable costumes worn was that of Clarence B. Houston, who, disguised as a maiden of uncertain age, deceived many of bis most intimate acquaintances^
