OF LOCAL INTEREST.
The teachers in the Coates college are seeking new locations, and already several of them have secured positions for the coming school year. Following the engagement of Professor Duncan, Miss Haberstitch, and Miss Grace Lee, of the last graduating class, with Craggencroft, a school at Duluth, it is announced that Miss Barbara Buchanan, who has held the chair of Latin in the college since the resignation of Mrs. S. C. Stimson, has accepted the same position in the Huegenot university at Capetown, South Africa. .She will sail from New York next Saturday for her new field. Miss Buchanan is going back to familiar scenes, for she was born in the dark continent, and has a brother who is a judge in the Cape Colony courts. She finished her education in this country, being a graduate of Cornell. Miss Kienora Doak, another member of the Acuity, expects to oe with DePauw next year. Miss Carrie Joslyn goes to Cincinnati. Miss Alice Wright, instructor in the gymnasium, will accept a position in the east. Miss Geneva Thompson will go to Chicago. Miss Elizabeth Pushee and Miss Nellie Cameron intend to remain in Terre Haute and give private lessons.
A strike just a trifle out of the ordinary has been in progress at the county jail this week, the thirty prisoners confined on the rock pile refusing to break stone unless the county commissioners will furnish them clothes to wear while they are at work. They claim that if they are employed on the rock pile for an ordinary term of service they«wear out their clothing, and when their sentence has expired they have no decent clothes to wear on the street. The expense of furnishing them suits to wear during working hours will be about $800, and the commissioners have Agreed to bear half this expense if the city will stand the other half, and the matter has been referred to a special committee of the council for consideration. Meanwhile the prisoners have been getting three square meals a day without working for them.
J. M. Urosius, the inventor of the Broslus uo-treadle sewing machine, and who is largely interested in the business of the Terre Haute Manufacturing Co., which went Into the hands of a receiver last week, is anxious to secure the machinery used in the manufacture of the sewing machine and organize a company here to push it. It is said that he was opposed to the manufacture of bicycles, and thought the sewing machine should have been made the specialty of the company. He has a number of flattering offers for the machine if he can secure it from the receiver, but prefers to organize the company here, where his property interests are located.
The growth of mission churches iu this city in the past few years has been remarkable, this fact being emphasized this week by the organization of the Second Christian church at the corner of Fourth street and Eighth avenue, on the site of the old gravel pit. where anew church has been erected. The church starts out with eighty-six charter members, and although a minister has not yet leen selected, regular services will be held. The official board of the new church consists of Howard Mater, clerk Wm. Garen, financial secretary. and Joseph Wilson, treasurer.
Terre Haute was successful at Indianapolis Wednesday night in securing the an nual meet of the Indiana division. League of American Wheelmen. The decision by which Terns Haute was accorded this honor was unanimous. The committee from this city consisted of George C. Rossell, Isaac. Torner, Will Teel, Earl Hamilton and Charles Nehf, Mr. Kossell acting as spokesman for the party. The state board voted an appropriation of 1300 for advertising the meeting throughout the state. The meeting will be held either on the 10th and 11th or 11th and 12th of August, the exact date to be determined later, and arranged so that it will uot interfere with other bicycle meetings to be held in the state in that month. The Wabash Cycling olub has secured a guarantee fund of #3.000 to cover the cost of the meeting. And expect that it will be one of the most successful in the history of the Indianaj turers of Cleveland's baking powder division.

Mrs. Agnes H. Nott has been granted a divorce from Joseph N. Nott, the well known puddler employed at the northern rolling mill. The parties had been married since 1872, and were the parents of Lillian Nott, the well-known comic opera singer. The grounds for the separation was cruel and inhuman treatment on the part of the husband. Mrs Nott left immediately after the divorce was granted to join her daughter in St. Louis, where she is appearing with an opera company.
Miss Jessie Belt, daughter of C. C. Belt, who lives just above Harrison park on Seventh street, won the diamond medal offered by the Wills School of Elecution, the contest being decided at Harrison park last Saturday night. The judges were Prof. Carhart, of Indianapolis Prof. Humpke, of Viucennes, and Prof. Priest, of DePauw university. Other contestants were Miss Carrie Mayer, Miss Nona Boegeman, Miss Bessie Scott, Carl Rutter, Miss Ada Logan, Willie Evaus, of Rosedale. and Miss Auna Higgins. In the contest at the Normal school Monday night for a gold medal for the juveniles, the prize was awarded Master Clyde Wilvert, son of Mr. and Mrs. E. H. Wilvert, of this city. The young man made quite a reputation as a political orator in the last campaign, and delivered an address before Mr. McKinley, on the occasion of the visit of the Terre Haute travelling men to Canton.
The demand for modern buildings for rental purposes in this city was never better exemplified than in the experience'of Chas. A. Williams, who has just completed a handsome double house on south Fifth street, just above Oak. He had the house rented before it was completed, Peter M. Foley taking one side of it, and Ernest Nattkemper, bookkeeper for Hudnut & Co. taking the other.
Anton Hulman and Dan Ferguson put their bicyles to a practical use while riding on Main street Monday evening. A party of young people were indulging in a "hay ride" on that street, when the horses be came frightened "and ran away. The driver of the team tried to stop the runaway ani mals, and beinx unable to do so he cut the traces hoping to release them from the wagon, but was unsuccessful, and the frightened horses continued their flight down Main. One of the party, Miss Elva Williams, jumped from the wagon between Sixth and Seventh streets, and was picked up badly hurt. Near Twelfth street, Hulman and Ferguson started after the runaways, and finally overtook them, bringing them to a full stop near Fourteenth. The occupants of the wagon were badly frightened, but none of those who stayed on the wagon were injured. The runaway created great excitement along Main street.
The Terre Haute Electric Light and Power company went into the hands of a receiver yesterday afternoon, on the application of W. R. McKeen, Frank McKeen and Samuel McKeen, who hold twenty-five promissory notes given by the company in March of last year for^.000 each, which are due and unpaid. John L. Walsh, ex-county treasurer, was appointed receiver for the company, and his bond placed at #50,000. He stAtes that the business of the company will be continued at usual. The receiver gave bond in the required amount, with A. J. Crawford, G. A. Conzman and Frank McKeen as sureties.
County Auditor James Soules has been appointed guardian of Cassius H. Reeves, an old soldier belonging in this county. Tcho is confined in th«' insane asylum. Reeves received a pension of seventy two dollars a month several years ago, and back pension amounting to fourteen thousand dollars. This money has been held in Clay county, and the appointment of a Vigo county guardian will put it on the tax duplicate here.

Frequent rinsings in pure, cold water after washing and an occasional bleaching upon the gran in the hot summer arun will render table linen white and sweet. The French have a way of making even an inferior quality of table linen look well without the aid of starch. When the napkins are washed and dried and ready to be ironed, they are dipped into boiling water and partially wrung'out between cloths. They are then rapidly ironed with as hot a flatiron as possible without burning them. Treated in this manner they become beautifully glossy and stiff.—St. Louis Republic.

It is not necessary that the heads should be covered with water—they* being tender, will cook in the steam as soon as the butts immersed in the water.

Old Upsala, the ancient capital. "Old Stockholm" is located a short distance beyond the fishery hall, on a point of land projecting into the Djurgardsbrunnsviken, and partly built on ground formed by filling into the sound. The most important buildings are the imitations of the old roj'al castle, "Tre Kroner." Storkyrkan, the oldest church in Stockholm, where Olaus Petri first publicly declared the reformation, and the old city hall, with Stortorget, the scene of the great Stockholm "blood bath." when Christian of Denm&rk beheaded 600 Swedish nobles. The building named 'Tre Kroner"—three crowns—was located where the present royal palace is now, and the foundations of the palace rest, to some extent, on the foundations of the old building.

in the rebuilding. The last time the palace was destroyed was in May. 1697. King Charles XI. had died a few days previous, and his remains had to be removed to the neighboring Storkyrkan, which is still standing and is one of the celebrated historical churches in Sweden. Several years before King Charles' death he had employed the celebrated French architect, Jean de la Vallie, to draw plans for a new palace. These plans contemplated the preservation of the original building. "Tre Kroner." A splendid, picturesque pile would have been erected had it not been that the modern Italian style of architecture had then won great favor in Sweden. The renowned Swedish architect of that period, Nikodemus Tessin, proposed to the king a building In accordance with that style. The fire swept away the old buildings, and Tessin, having had his plans accepted, constructed the present beautiful palace.
The palace is an enormous square building with two wings, inclosing the private palace garden. In the center is a large courtyard, in which half a dozen regiments of soldiers could parade with ease. The building is not alone a palace for the royal family, but includes a number of public rooms, such as "Rikssaleh," where the chambers ofthe riksdag are opened and "Lifrust' karamaren." being a series of galleries containing old arms and dresses of historical value from the earliest times. Some of the rooms in the palace, as the great gallery known as the "White Sea." the picture gallery, the council chamber, and the throne room, have a worldwide reputation for their beauty of decoration and symmetry. The grand staircase has its only equal at the French palace at Versailles. The Swedish court on state occasions displays a luxury In appointments and a ceremony only equaled by the English and old French imperial courts. It is a surprise to a foreigner visiting Stockholm for the first time, or taking his or her impression from the democratic way in which King Oscar is seen in his daily life at the capitol.

Mr*. Blank's Huaband.
There is an amusing story told of the husband of clever New York literary woman, a well known writer of many books which have been translated into many languages. Before her marriage to her present husband she was what is called a "fascinating widow."
The man who was fortunate enough to win her affections must also have had fascinating qualities, for the young woman, who tells the story at her own expense, acknowledges that in a few meetings she had discovered that her heart was dangerously susceptible. In one of a few visits which the gentleman had made to the young woman's house as the guest of a masculine relative, be had announced a coming trip abroad, and, among the attractions of the voyage, that he was to be seated beside the oaptain of the steamer at table and opposite a charming widow.
The voyage was duly made, and again the same man was a guest at the same house. The young woman may have had a special interest in the visitor's companions during his voyage, for she aBked immediately, "And did you sit at the captain's table, and did you sit opposite the oharming widow?"
She might have noticed that her words were received with some embarrassment, but she was unconscious of anything unusual in her questions.
They were* answered in the affirmative. "The woman was Mrs. Blanking-ton-Blank," added the guest. "Well, the man who marries her may expect to lose his identity," said the young woman, with apparent irrelevancy. "He will never be known, except as Mrs. Blaukington-Blank's husband." "Yes," acquiesced the man, "that is what I expect to be. We are to be married on blank day of blank."—New York Times.
Bicycles Scare the Ulrdh
"Birds in the park?" said the old South park policeman. "Naw, not now. There used to be lots of them, building nests in every bush and singing on every tree, but nowadays there's nothing but sparrows. Sometimes there's a bird or two that tries to nest, but they don't stay long. The bicycles are too much for them. "You see, it's like this," he continued to his interested listener. "Before the bicyclists gut so numerous most of the people in the parks and boulevards stuck pretty well to the roads and walks and were ouly around iu the daytime, but since the bicycles have brought us such crowds the whole place is entirely overrun with people, who find every shady spot, walk around every bush and lean up against every tree. Especially they make night into day, and lucky, indeed, i3 the poor bird which can find a roostiug place that is not disturbed by the prescuco of the omnipresent riders. "The result of this, iu my observation, has been the almost entire lack of the little song birds that used to make the parks a pleasure to walk in during summer. There Were orioles, thrushes, catbirds and robius in the larger trees, and quantities of yellow birds, flycatchers and warblers in the bushes. In the fall, when the leaves dropped, there could be counted nests in the bare limbs by the hundreds. Nowadays the few nests you see are principally sparrows. Ugh!" And the big policeman turned away disgustedly.—-Chicago Tribune.
.....• Pat and tb« Target.
An Irish militiaman, whllent musketry, was singularly consistent in never bitting the target. "What the devil are you firing at, my roan?" wrathfully exclaimed the musketry instructor, who was standing near a freshly tarred gate some distance from the target. "I'm firing at the gate, your honor," was the reply. "What gate, you fool?" Mid the musketry Instructor, who had been nearly hit on one or two occasions during Pat's practicing. "The tar gate, your honor," replied Pat, with charming simplicity.—Dundee People's Friend.

Education and Suicide.
The sad fact that suicide and ednca tion iucreuso at an equal rate is now generally admitted. Civilization does not free humanity from grief, disgrace and disappointment, but wherever civilization is highest the struggle for existence is fiercest, life is most artificial, and there the most failures of the human race are met with. There was a time in Roman history when suicide was almost epidemic. It was when the great repubri had reached its acme cf civilization, when poetry, art and eloquence were triumphant. It is probable that the pre portion of suicides due to mental derangements is increasing, bu how rapidly can never be exactly determined. Moi.ielli says that about onethird of all suicides may be attributed to insanity.—Robert N. Reeves in Popular Science Monthly.
