Philip C. Brown, a son of an old Terre Haute printer, Isaac M. Brown, and himself a printer, has patented a car coupler which received a test in the Vandalia yards in this city this week, which demonstrates that it is about the best that has ever been invented. The test was under the personal direction of W. K. McKeen, Jr., and he says the coupler is all right. It is the sixth coupler invented by Mr. Brown, and he has interested an eastern capitalist in his invention, and the latter will furnish the money to put it on the market. Mr. Brown was formerly a resident of this city, and was foreman on the old Daily Courier, of which Dick T. Morgan was publisher. His first wife was Sadie Farley, the well-known actress, who is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Farley. Several years ago a divorce was granted them, and Mr. Brown has since re-married, and lives in JefTersonvIlle. He was not known as "Chal," as the dailies have stated. He had a brother, Chalmer C. Brown, who ran a job office at Fifth and Main streets.

Coates College seems to be in a "hard •w of Mump*." .\ number of suits have ecu HUM avrtinst the institution during hv pa*t w.s'k, all «rowing out of the fact hat the .lirvotors have not been able to illect ononrfh money to pay the running

expenses of the place. It has been in straits before, and only for the directors assuming personally some of the debts of the place it would have been closed long before this. The officers directly interested in the institution have been out of the city this week, and for that reason there has been trouble in securing service on them. It is thought there will be no trouble in securing the debts on which the suits were brought, and the college will go on with the work in which it is engaged.

James B. Reynolds, of north Sixth street, is one of the applicants from this county for the position of truant agent to enforce attendance of children at schools, in accordance with the law passed by the last legislature. At a meeting of the state board of charities this week, D. M. Getting, superintendent of public instruction, was chosen to act on the board which is to appoint truant agents to enforce the compulsory education law. He and the secretary of the state board of charities will act in conjunction with the city superintendents in appointing agents for cities, and with county superintendents in appointing agents for country schools. The members of the board were all anxious to escape this position, for it will probably involve the members in political broils.

The Princes of the Orient, whose entertainment during the races two years ago was the finest of the kind ever seen in this city, and far surpassed many of the exhibitions of the Veiled Prophets at St. Louis, will hold a meeting next Wednesday night to discuss the plan of repeating their popular programme of that year. Last year a carnival was agreed up, but was abandoned on account of the railroads' refusal to give rates favorable to securing a large crowd. This year it is hoped to be able to secure the proper rates from the roads, and if so, there will be a great celebration during race week this fall. At the meeting next Wednesday night there will be initiation of several candidates, to be followed by a banquet.

Mrs. Zerelda Stunkard, widow of the late David C. Stunkard, died very suddenly Monday evening at her home on Poplar street, just east of the city. Death resulted from valvular disease of the heart, from which she had long suffered. Mrs. Stunkard had been a resident of this city since 18H6, when she removed here from Brazil, her husband taking charge of the St. Charles hotel on south Third street, which she still owned at the time of her death. She was born in Monroe county, this state, March 15th, 1833, the daughter of Mr. aud Mrs. Thomas I. Cromwell. She was united in marriage to D. C. Stunkard, April 11th, 1850. Her husband was accidentally shot in front of the St. Charles hotel, July 2nd, 1871. While rising from a chair in front of the hotel a revolver in his pocket caught in his clothes and was discharged causing almost instant death. Mrs. Stunkard's six children all survive her, and all are residents of this city, and prominent in business, political and social circles. They are D. J., James P., Mrs. Chas. H. Goodwin, Robert W., Dr. T. C., and Miss Nina. The funeral took place on Wednesday afternoon, and was in charge of the Eastern Star, of which deceased had long been a member. The services at the grave were particularly beautiful.

Dr. George W. Ballew died at the Union Home last Monday morning, after a long illness. Several onths ago he was taken to that institution, and during his last hours his mother, Hyliiula Canady, of Ridge Farm, 111., was at his bedside. Deceased was Illustrious Master of the Masonic Council, and had served in that position for several years. He studied dentistry under the late Robert Van Val7.ah, and practiced his profession continuously here until failing health compelled him to relinquish a few months ago. He had a large circle of friends and acqqaintances, and his funeral last Tuesday afternoon was largely attended. The services were in charge of Terre Haute lodge, No. 19, of which he was a member. The services at the grave were read by Hon. Thos. B. Long, at the special request of the deceased. The funeral services were held at the home of Justice Levi O. Benson, on north Eighth street.

It is announced on the authority of the local representatives of the American Railway Union that after the annual meeting of that organisation on the 20th of June, at Chicago, an effort will be made to carry into effect Eugene V. Debs's plans for the colonisation of a western state, presumably Utah, where an effort will be made to carry into effect some of his Utopian plans for the organisation of a state and the enactment of laws that will be solely in favor of the workingmen. It is claimed that the Railway Union has increased in membership greatly since the 18iM strike, and that it has more names on its rolls now than ever before.

One of the most successful meetings ever held by the Indiana State Medical Society closed yesterday with the election of the following officers: President, W. N. Wishard. Indianapolis: vice president.

That can be classed as strictly high-grade, listing at $xoo.

J. FRED PROBST,

Repairing, Sundries and Renting. 642 Wabash Avenue.

Jonas Stewart, Anderson secretary, C. Heath, (re-elected), Indianapolis: assistant secretary, Thomas Macer, Evansville: treasurer, A. E. Bulson, Jr., (re-elected). Ft. Wayne. The meetings of the society were held at the Central Presbyterian church, and the programmes arranged were very interesting. Thursday evening a

reception was given the visitors at the Terre Haute House. About the most interesting feature of the meeting was the discussion aroused by a paper read by Dr. Vorhis. of Columbus, in which he questioned the efficacy of the use of anti-toxin in the treatment of diphtheria. The society practically voted in favor of the nse of anti-toxin by refusing to adopt a resolution introduced, declaring it the sense of the society that the advisability of the use of anti-toxin was not settled. Evansville was decided upon as the place for the next meeting of the society.

The furniture business heretofore run by Willis Wright, at 424 Main street, will hereafter be conducted by the Breinig & Miller Co., which filed articles of incorporation on Thursday. The object and purpose of the company is to buy and sell furniture, carpets, and all general household goods. The capital stock of the company is 120,000 divided into shares of $100 each. Henry L. Breinig, Frank A. Breinig and H. C. Miller are the directors for the first year.

Henry Watterson, editor of the Louisville Courier-Journal, and one of the most noted journalists of the century, will lecture at Normal Hall, next Saturday evening on "Abraham Lincoln." His lecture is one of the most interesting that has ever been delivered on this immortal subject, and will doubtless attract a large crowd.

Terre Haute Council No. 8, R. & S. M.t worked the degrees of Royal and Select Master, and Super-Excellent Master last night, holding a special communication for this purpose on account of the presence in the city of a number of phisicians who desired to take the Super-Excellent degree. The latter degree was worked on a class of thirteen.

Terre Haute Commandery No. 16, Knights Templar, has accepted an invitation from Rev. John E. Sulger, to attend special services at St. Stephen's next Friday in honor of Ascension Day. The comandery will attend in full uniform, accompanied by the Ringgold band.

London and Its Lions.

London does its lionizing in such a very original fashion that there is no telling in advance whether visitor will be ignored or "taken up." We make a tremendous fuss over some second rate celebrity who excels only in blowing his own trumpet, while the real empire makers are sometimes allowed to come and go unnoficed. For solid and well planned progress achieved with the most limited resources' there has been nothing since the days of Clive to beat that of the Niger company. The last little campaign against the Foulahs virtually decided the question of supremacy over a population estimated at 8,000,000 or 10,000,000 of the most warlike of African natives and a country of immense potentialities. The victory was achieved by a few hundreds of black troops led by a handful of English officers. It was as significant in its way as Plassey, but when tlie organizer of victory, oir George Goldie, reached London a few lines in small type on an inside pago of The Times were all that he got. We do not regret this. Neither, we are sure, does Sir George Goldie. It is better to Lt things develop quietly in that part of the world. But when one recollects the gazettes and medals and distinctions devoted to comparatively unimportant skirmishes in India and elsewhere it raises queer ideas as to our national discr1 ^nation.—London Saturday Reviev

OK .amptaary Laws.

Mr. Burdett Coutts, M. P., in an address delivered before the English Uni* versal Cook.-ry aud Food association, oalled attention to the sumptuary laws of the fifteenth century. Then it was enacted that food being necessary to the sustenance of man, the seller had no right to ask his own price, tat it was the duty of the state to fix it. In the same century equal supervision was exercised over cooks. They were ordered to make their meat "well seasoned and wholesome and sell it for a reasonable winning, atd that they reboil or rebake no meat in hurt of the kiug's people." The mayor of a town in those days, upon entering office, was obliged to swear that he would exercise vigilant supervision over bakers, brewers, tavern keepers, COOKS and such people. This was no perfunctory oversight, but the official exercised his anthority with great severity in cases where cooks and dealers in food and drink failed of their duty.

Found in a Two Hundred Foot Well. Some Ohio city ordinances forbid sinking wells within fifty feet of the outhouse vault. One well was bored through shale rock for two hundred feet, fifty feet from such a vault. Salt water was thrown in the vault and traces of it were soon found in the well water. This is alarming to all who have well and vault in one yard, but there is no use of either in a city with water works and sewers. The sewers are here and the citizen pays for them if he uses them or not. He should use them all he can. The water mains carry pure, filtered water to every street It costs less than gas, but is more useful as a health and labor saver. It costs less to put in water now than ever before. As water borne diseases come in summer and fall this spring is the time to plant water pipes.

THIRD AND MAIN STREETS.

Habit is Habit.

Not to be flung out of the window, but coaxed down stairs a step at a time. And so we don't ask men who have been paying $15 to $30 for good suits to buy our $8.98 suits just because we sell them.

Here are the steps—the steps of reason by which we wish to appeal.

FIRST These suits are well made, elegantly trimmed, fashionably cut, and intrinsically worth double what we ask for them.

SECOND—Upon looking over our stock we found we had 500 more than our trade demanded—in a regular way.

THIRD—We must either carry them from year to year, losing interest on money invested, losing on change in styles, losing on damage by laying on counters, or close at loss now. We prefer taking loss now, so we are selling 250 suits worth $7, $8, $10 and $12 for $4.98. 250 suits worth $15, $16, $18 and $20 for $8.98. "A
