OF LOCAL INTEREST.
The contract for the fixtures for the handsome new building to be occupied by A. Here's Bazar was let this week to the Bloomington Store Fixture Co., the firm that made the fixtures for the L. B. Root & Co. building. The fixtures will be very elaborate, the wood work, tops off counters, etc., being largely mahogany. The work on the new front for this building has progressed far enough to justify the belief that it will be one of the handsomest and most attractive fronts in the city.
The High Court of the Independent Order of Foresters will hold its annual meeting in this city next winter, and already the local members of the order are preparing to entertain the delegates in a fitting manner.

H. 81iger, Max Blumberg, A. W. Werneke, Harry Skean and Adam Lambert. A series of entertainments will be given to raise to funds for the purpose, the first to be given at Tacoma wigwam by the Davis family on the 7th of .Tune.
The force employed by the Terre Haute Canning company will be increased during the coming season by the operation of a catsup factory to the equipment of the plant in Highland Place. An experienced foreman from Philadelphia has been secured to take charge of this branch of the work. The tomato crop this year is expected to far exceed that of previous years, owing to the efforts of the company to contract for the tomato product.

John 11. Williams, of the Clift Jk Willioms Co., died at his home on Chestnut- street Wednesday evening. He had been in poor health for some time, and for the past week had been confined, to his bed. Last summer he took a trip to Kngland in the hope that it would bring him permanent relief, but it failed in its object,. Deceased was born in Waltingsford, Vermont, August-*J5th. IK)7, and after living in the east, util 1855 came to Ladoga. Itid., where his father was in charge of the well known seminary at that place. He came to Terre Haute in 1850 and since then had been identified with the building industries of the city. In 1801 he formed a partnerfhip with the late Wm. S. Clift, which continued until the death of the latter in 1888. after which the Clift «S: Williams Co. was organized, and with which he had been actively identified. The deceased was married three times, his last wife being Mrs. Marv A. Couper, to whom he was married in December 1SIW, and who survives him. By his first wife he had two children, a son who died infaucy, and a daughter. Clam, who was married to .lames A. Couper, and who died in March, 1 sM, leaving two children. In early life Mr. Williams became identified with the Baptist church, and duriug his life here
was one of the mainstays of the irst Bap-
tist church. He held various pos.Lons of
importance in that church, and was a dea •,
con at the time of his death He was a
quiet, unasuming c.tuen and Ins honor-1
able course in life made him many count-
K»ss friends to whom his death will come
The recent death of Dr. W. \V. Ha worth left a vacancy in the local board of pension examiners, and thus far it has not been filled. The remaining members of the board are Drs. A. \V. Spain and T. W.
Moorhead, and as the fees of the board are such as to place it under the civil service rales, an examination will have to be held to fill the vacancy. If the civil service rales re ating to such boards are abolished. as the impression seems to be they will, Dr. Moorhead stands a good chance, it is thought, of being made a member'of the new board. During the last campaign, although a Democrat, Dr. Moorhead was identified with the Democratic advocates of the Republican ticket on the money question.
Harry Russell, one of the best known contractors of this city, a member of the firm of Russell & Ravell, formerly chief of police of this city, and in 1880 the Republican candidate for sheriff, died very suddenly last Sunday morning at Colorado Springs, where he went several weeks ago for the benefit of his health. His wife was with him at the time, and accompanied his remains to this city, the funeral taking place from his late residence on north Fifth street last Tuesday afternoon. Although one of the strongest, healthiest looking men in the city, an attack of illness he had last winter left him in bad shape, and in April he went west in the hope that a stay there would restore him to health. The hope proved vain, howeve", and death resulted as stated above. Deceased was a native of Yorkshire, England. and was born February 21st, 1852. He came to the United States with his parents in 1853, locating in Rochester, N. Y. Later they removed to Canada, and in 1863 located in this city, since which time he had been identified with its business interests. He was married in September, 1874, to Miss Mary E. Hargrave. of Rockville, who, with two daughters, Jennie and Lillian, survives him. He was best known from his long association with Abe Itavell, and the firm had erected some of the most prominent business buildings in the city. Chief among them were the county jail, the Bindley block, the Cook, Bell & Black building, the distillery, the Anton Mayer block, the water works buildings, the plant of the new gas company, St. Joseph's academy, and many other buildings of less importance. Mr. Russell was a member of the Odd Fellows and Red Men, and his funeral under the auspices of these societies was one of the largest seen here in recent years.
The Princes of the Orient had a meeting Wednesday night, and decided to give a conclave here on the 28th ol September, providing favorable rates can be secured from the various railroads centering here. A committee consisting of Fred W. Hertwig, Jesse Sargent and Chas. Hughes was appointed to confer with the railroads regarding this point, and see what could be done in securing reduced rates. The Button club and the Haymakers will unite with the Princes in making the coming conclave a success, and if reasonable rates can be secured, the week of September 28th, during the fall race meeting, will be one of the liveliest in the history of the city.
The members of the Eastern Star will give an entertainment at Masonic hall about the middle of the coming month. It will be the presentation of a farce entitled "An Old-Fashioned Husking Bee."
A FASHIONABLE SHOW.
Seventy Ilorses Performing at Once in One Kins Not one, but half a dozen visits are. needed to see the wonders of the Barnum & Bailey Greatest Show on Earth. The wonderful system by which a dozen acts are in progress at the same time, while it insures that every visitor shall be sure of seeing a tremendous number of performances, it often prevents one from devoting all that attention to a single special feature or startling act that it deserves. For that reason a number of visits are absolutely necessary. Another thing about Barnum & Bailey's Show, it has taken its place as one of the most fashionable entertainments of the large cities of the country, the thing which anybody who is anybody is bound to see, as well as all other classes. Every taste is suited. Do you like animals There you may see them iu hundreds and thousands. Do you love horses? There you will see upward of half a thousand and as many as seventy trained ones performing in one ring at one time. As for performances the audience is kept in breathless suspense for over two hours, while over a hundred startling acrobatic, athletic, aerial, equestrian, and gymnastic feats are wonderfully executed by experts from all the countries of the world. Do you like trained animals? Twenty-four elephants perform an amazing series of clever tricks, while lions, tigers, wolves, dogs, ponies, pigs, panthers, goats, ostriches, leopards, and hundreds of others do amaxin^ things. There are besides wire walkers, rope dancers, conjurers, ,, contortionists, tumblers, leapers, jugglers,

The public supply in Terre Haate never can be bad. for it is filtered. Children may drink poor water from the home well, but never from the school hydrant, which supplies filtered water. A, report from the University of Illinois says: "The reccurrence of epidemics of cholera, typhoid fever, and other zymotic diseases, have almost invariably been prevented wherever the causes have been abolished, either by diverting the sewerage from access to the source of water supply, or by proper filtration of the sewerage polluted water."
Sewerage cannot be 'kept out of city wells, and it cannot get into the filtered water in the Terre Haute water pipes. When a water pipe enters a house disease gets out.

The Diamond Garment Cutting School. We are glad to know the gentlemen working in the interest of the Diamond Garment Cutting School, are meeting with good success. A number of Terre Haute ladies are very much interested in the school, an will patronize the same. Ladies after making a careful examination of the D. G. C. have found it not to be of difficult calculation or intricate designing, but is based on principles of mechanical drafting, so simple and easy to learn that a child of ten years', who can read figures and guide its hand can use it.
The success of the system in general use is due to two facts: First—the largest assortment of drafts ever published with any system of cutting are given, providing for all styles and kinds of garments. It is not limited to waist lining, but extends throughout the'whole catalogue of fashion, cutting with ease and accuracy, sleeves of all styles, draperies, and trimmings such as collars, cuffs, reveers, flounces, ripples, britilles, etc., too numerous to mention. And in their extended work it is made as easy as the cutting of lining. Second—a full course of instructions is givn by lady teachers, who are thoroughly competent, in this course of teaching. The pupils are taken through the work of drafting and designing, until they are prepared to draft all styles selected from any magazine or fashion plate. Then a second course is given in dressing making, in which the pupil is taught the latest and best method of finishing, and has opportunity to make a dress in which they test the practical working of the garment cutter, before final payments are made in tuition.
The school will open next Tuesday afternoon,'June 1st, at No. 425 north Thirteenth street. Ladies are especially invited to attend the opening.
