OF LOCAL INTEREST.
Local base ball cranks will not be deprived of all enjoyment in that line this season, although'Terre Haute has failed in all her efforts to secure admission to a flrstclass league. It is about settled that the Detroit Western league team will prepare for the season here, and a number of good exhibition games will be played with visiting teams. H. F. Schmidt, manager of the park, is negotiating with the Indianapolis team to play all its Sunday games here during the season. Sunday games are not permitted in the capital city, and if played here are sure to draw well.
Judge Piety created something of a sensation in charging the new grand jury as to several ways they should direct their efforts during their present session. He directed the members to investigate the truth of the published reports regarding the actious of the county commissioners in letting public contracts, and the affairs of Coroner Payne and ex-City Treasurer W. W. Hauck. He alsoinstructed the grand jury to investigate the reports regarding the alleged prize fights said to haveoccured recently near the city. It is expected that the grand jury will make things interesting as a result of the instructions of the court. The jury is composed of four Democrats, and two Republicans, as follows: J. W. D. Wolfe, foreman, of Fayette township J. N. Hickman, the funeral director John It. Garrettson, ex-street commissioner, and John G. Hyneman, of D. H. Baldwin & Co., city E. A. Roberts, of Honey creek, and John Hunt, of Prairie creek township.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Adolph Neukoiu sympathize deeply with them in the loss of their five-year-old son, Wallace, whose death occurred last Sun day evening, after a brief illness with scarlet fever. lie was an unusually bright little fellow, and his death was a severe blow to the parents and members of the family.
Attorney Robert H. Catlin and daughter, lone, had a narrow escape from drowning while attempting to ford Big Raccoon creek in Parke county, last Sunday morning. He started to drive to visit his father in Parke county, and finding the waters of the creek very high lost the road in attempting to ford it. He escaped only by the most strenuous efforts, but was unable to save the horse, which was drowned. He has made up his mind that the next time he attempts to ford a swollen creek, he wou't.
The many friends of Mr. and Mrs. W. 1. Overstreet were inexpressibly shocked Wednesday morning at the announcement of the sudden death of their bright and promising son. ICddie, aged fifteen years, which occurred that morning after an operation for appendicitis. He was a carrier on the Daily Express and Evening Tribune, and attended to his duties on Saturday evening. Sunday morning he complained of feeling badly, and the usual remedies were given him. He was much worse on Monday, and physicians were called. They
decided
that he was suffer
ing with appendicitis, aud decided that although in a most critical coudition it was necessary to perform an operatiou, that being the only hope of saviug his life. Ho was not able to withstand the shock, and died Wednesday morning. He was
NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTOOD.
A fact often overlooked,' or not always understood, is that, women suffer as much from distressing kidney and bladder troubles as the men. The womb is situated back of and very close to the bladder, and for that, reason any distress, disease or inconvenience manifested in the kidneys, back, bladder or unlnary passages is often, by mistake, attributed to female weakness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be as easily avoided by setting urine aside for twenty-four hours a sediment or settling is evidence that your kidneys and bladder need doctoring. If you have, pain or dull aching in the back, pass water too frequently, or scanty supply, with smarting or burning,-—these are also convincing proofs of kidney trouble. If you have doctored without benefit, try Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy. The mild and the extraordinary effect will surprise you. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures. If you take a medicine yon should take the best. At druggists fifty cents and one dollar. Yon may have a sample tattle and pamphlet, both sent free by mall, upon receipt of three twocent stamps to cover cost of ^postage on the bottle. Mention the Saturday Evening Mail, and send your address to Dr. Kilmer jfc Co., Bingham ton. N. V. The proprietor Of this paper guarantees the genuineness of this offer.

an unusually bright and affable little fellow, was noted for his energy and ambition, and was very popular among his acquaintances, both big and little. The funeral took place Thursday at noon, the remains being taken to his former home at Greencastle for burial. The school companions of the Sixteenth district, at Eighth and College streets, attended the funeral in a body, and presented a beautiful floral offering. r#.
From the tone of the Democratic papers throughout the state, J. 6. McNutt, of this city, will be renominated without opposition as a candidate on the state ticket for the position of attorney general, for which he was an unsuccessful candidate in the campaign two years ago. His earnest work for the general ticket as well as his thorough the campaign, made him popular with the party press throughout the state, and the indications are that he will secure a renomination without any opposition.
The wholesale liquor firm of Hulman & Beggs was dissolved this week, J. E. Beggs retiring to engage in other business, which he has not yet announced. H. Hulman succeeded to the business, which will be managed by his son, Herman Hulman, Jr. The old firm was quite prominent in that business throughout the country, and had built up quite a large trade in the sale of their special brand of "White Seal" pure rye whiskey.
John Hanley, returned Monday night from Louisville, where he submitted to a severe surgical operation for relief from a diseased nerve in his right jaw, from which he had suffered excrutiating agonies for several months. In the operation his right jaw was laid bare and the diseased nerve was severed from its conection with the brain. He is much improved since his return, and is of the belief that he has secured permanent relief from his suffering.
The Southern Indiana Teachers' Association will hold its annual meeting in this city on the 34th, 25th and 26th of March, and unusual preparations have been made for the entertainment of the visitors. A very interesting programme of exercises has been prepared, among Terre Hauteans who will take part being Ppf. Sandison, Helen East, Laura Frazee, Rev. C. H. Percival, Terre Haute Treble Clef Club, Mayor Ross, President Parsons, President Mees, Mary Katzenbach, Rev. W. M. Tippy, Maude L. Paige, Beatrice O. Sanders, Rev. John E. Sulger, Mrs. Dan Davis, Charlotte M. Longman, Mrs. Howard Mater and Mrs. G. A. Scott.

The meeting will take place during the annual spring vacation, and it is expected that six or eight hundred teachers will be in attendance.
Judge Jump, ex-collector of internal revenue, is feeling pretty good over the report received on Wednesf^ay from the treasury department at Washington, as' a result of the auditing of his accounts for the four years in the revenue service. He handled eighteen million dollars during his incumbency, and the report sent back by the department corresponded exactly with the figures retained by himself and his deputy, Gus Lindeman.
Masonic Hall was crowded last Monday night, and those present saw one of the most enjoyable amateur entertainments evjr given in the city. It was the "Old Fashioned Husking Beto." given under the auspices of the Eastern Star, and under the management of Charley Balch, who was the star of the occasion, and made his character of Uncle Nate as much like Joshua Whit-comb as could be. Others who took pai't in this very successful entertainment were Mrs. Clara A. Melville, Miss Minnie Giebel, Miss Lena Sachs, Mrs. Mary Ivnieriem, Miss Laura Longman, Mrs. Mary Lawrence, Mrs. Geo. A. Scott, Miss Hattie Dodson, Mrs. Eliza Vaughn, Mrs. Robert Benefield, Miss Nina Stunkard, Miss Carrie Steele, Mrs. May Dill, Mrs. Sarah Naylor, Miss Florence Bardsley, Miss Ada Hampton, Mrs. C. H. Traquair, Mrs. Ida M. Eugles, Miss Mollie Mahau, and Messrs. Charles Balch, James K. Allen, Will K. Hamilton, Robert Benefield, Chailes Miller, Fred Conrad, Thos. Naylor, Will Balch, Clyde Wilvert, and William Loveze.
The Stahl-Urban Co. will dedicate their new building adjoining their present location at Ninth and a half and Ohio this evening, with a reception to their employes and friends,
Th$ county commissioners have about decided to investigate the books of the county officers from 1888 up to the present time. It is a step to be commended on the part of the commissioners, and in justice to the past and present office holders should be done. Win. H. Duncan and Herbert E. Madison, who investigated the city books for the ten years past, will doubtless get the county work, and the commissioners will make no mistake in securing them. They are careful and reliable, and will perform the work in a most accurate maimer.
Willis B. McRae, for several years a member of the police department, the greater portion of the time a detective on the force, was this week appointed a deputy United States marshal, to succeed Peter Clark, who resigned recently to take a place as travelling agent in the southern states for the Terre Haute Brewing Co. During his service as detective Mr. McRae made an enviable record as a criminal catcher, and has been prominent in much of the efficient work for which the local department is noted. His resignation as a member of the department will not take effect until Tuesday, and the police board will meet the first of the month to select his successor. It Is not certain whether a member of the department will be appointed to the place, or whether Ike Trail, at present a depot policeman, will be pat on to fill the vacancy. Trail has had -considerable experience and was one
men who stayed with the city in the contest between sfche city and the metropolitan folks, when the latter law .went into effect a few years ago. As a result Of his fidelity to the city he lost his place. Sergeant Bidaman is the leading candidate for the place from the present force, and if a new man is not pnt on will probably get the position, for which he is well qualified. Napoleon B. Rockwell, the east end liveryman was a candidate for the place, and had the support of Congressman Faris, and Postmaster Benjamin, bnt Mr. McRae's acquaintance with United States Marshal Samuel Kercheval secured him the appointment, which is much better in a financial way than the position he had.
The High Court of Foresters of Indiana held its annual meeting in this city this week, closing its labors yesterday afternoon. The local members of the order en tertained them handsomely, and the court adopted resolutions of thanks for the attentions shown the visitors. In the annual election but one Terre Haute man secured recognition, D. H. Sliger being elected one of the High Auditors of the order.
Mrs. Margaret J. Kelley. wife of Albert J. Kelley. died on Wednesday at the family residence on Ohio street. The funeral took place yesterday morning, prominent members of the bar acting as pall bearers. Jp

Patterson's new Cash Grocery aud Market was opened last evening at 650 Main street, in the McKeen block, and although no goods were sold a great crowd thronged the place, examining the inviting display made at this model grocery. The exhibition of canned goods is simply wonderful,' and the prices shown are certain to attract economical purchasers. He will make a specialty of his meat department, having engaged an expert meat cutter from Chicago, and will handle none but the finest meats in every line. It will pay every one to visit this model place.
Handwriting of Dumas.
Both the Dumas' bauds were those of busy men, but the elder Dumas could go ou forever he never stopped to punctuate. One. of his literary caiious was that a clepr style punctuates itself. There is a good deal in this. The son never missed a comma, semicolon, colon or full stop. Htf had uot the father's facility, which resembled a tropical vegetation at the end of the rainy sea* son.
1
The younger Dumas beat hisi bran».s terribly and forced them to bring forth plaj'w. Nothing can be more,refined than his handwriting. The original manuscripts of his plays are scarcely legible, the corrections and erasures being so numerous. But. he aid not let the copyist or indeed any strauger see them, bnt rewrote and added piuigeut and preguaut sentences as he did so. The first thoughts of some authors are the best tliey were the worst of Dumas fils unless when he was answering a letter —answeriug, mind! It was then a case of steel responding to flint. Sparks flew. If thero was an explosive about, it went off.—Loudon Truth.
Queer Slfftmtnre to a Cheek.
"That man forgot to sign his name," remarked a well known iusurauce agent as be reached the end of a letter from one of his correspondents. "I presume you run acrossmauy cases of forgetfulness and abstraction while reading your correspondence?" I suggested as bo resumed looking over his mail. "Weil, ySs, they are more frequent than I wish they were. One of the most singular instances was a case where a man in affixing his signature to a check used a portion of my name and a part of
his own. And be was the president of
one of onr leading colleges too.1'— Portland (Me.) Argus.
For Sleeplewaem.
The following is recommended as a cure for sleeplessness: "Wet a half towel, apply it to the back of the neck, pressing it upward toward the base of the brain, and fasten the dry half of tlie towel over so as to prevent the too rapid exhalation. The effect Is prompt and charming, cooling the brain and inducing calmer, sweeter sleep than any narcotic. Warm water may be used, though most persons prefer cold. To those who suffer from overexcitement of the brain, whether the result of brain work or pressing anxiety, this simple remedy has proved an especial boon."—New Olreana Times-Democrat.
Introducing Hii Fiancee.
There is doubt in some man's mind very often as to when he should make known to his people the girl he hopes to marry. In some cases be prefers that they should become acquainted before the die is cast and he has bound himself to her for better, for worse, by a promise. At other times he has a certain diffidence about introducing them to each other till they know in what po sition she is to stand toward himself, and the result is that he is a little bewildered. Perhaps in many ways it is more comfortable for a girl to know his people before she is presented to them as a future relative. But circumstances often render this ont of the question, and then there is only one correct form of proceeding.
Where his people and hers live in the same place his family must call upon her as soon as they are informed of the engagement. If they live at a distance, they should at once write, welooming her as a future relative, and it is usual where possible to invite her to stay with them and make their acquaintance. When this is done, it is a more comfortable plan on both sides if the fianoe can accompany her and introduce her in person to his people. It is a trying ordeal both to the girl and to her lover's family, this first introduction to each other, and if the lover himself is present—the connecting link of interest between the two—s-it makes it considerably more agreeable work for every one concerned.—Philadelphia Times.
The Money Making Game.
The first of all English games is making money. That is an all absorbing game, and we knock each other down oftener in playing at that than at football or any other rougher sport, and it is absolutely without purpose. No one who engages heartily in that game ever knows why. Ask a great money maker what he wants to do with his money—he never knows. He doesn't make it to do anything with it. He gets it only that he may get it. "What will you make of what you have got?" you ask. "Well, I'll get more," he says. Just as at cricket you get more runs. There's no use in the runs, but to get more of them than other people is the game. And there's no use in the money, but to have more of it than other people is the game. So all that great foul city of London there—rattling, growling, smoking, stinking—a ghastly heap of fermenting brickwork, pouring out poison at every pore—you fancy it is a city of work? Not a street of itl It is a great oily of play very nasty play, and very hard play, but still play. It is only Lord's cricket ground without the turf—*a huge billiard table without the cloth, and with pockets as deep as the bottomless pit, but mainly a billiard table after all.—John Ruskin.
''lifi Cromwell,
Crom well kept quiet during the yeats in which Charles was governing without a parliament. He is not heard of as resisting the payment of ship money or even as setting at defiance the ecclesiastical courts. Clearly he was no ambitious firebrand, but a man under authority, whose aim it was to carry obedience to the utmost limits consistent with, liis personal duty. This, too, is characteristic of the man and displays itself again and again in his prolonged hesitations to break with established authority,
In bis cousefvitive dislike to hasty changes, combined with religion influencing the conduct as well as the creed, Cromwell was a fair representative of the better part of England, none the less because when once his reluctance to step forward had vanished he was capable of administering heavy blows against those who blocked the way too persistently even for his patience and because when once he had broken with the past no going back was any longei possible for him.—"Cromwell's Place In History," by S. R. Gardiner.
She Knew Him.
Mrs. K. had engaged a robust, middle aged colored woman to do some house clowning. During* tbo progress of the work JMrs. K. said: "A colored man came along here one day last week and wanted work, and I let him wash some windows, but he did not do the work at all well." "What fo' lookin man was he?" asked the helper. "Well, he was a big, strong fellow, and he had but one eye. He said that his name was White. He did very poor work." "I specs be did, lady He's de wus' no 'count in dis town. "Oh, then yon know him?" "Know Mm? Why, lady, I'zemah led to 'im!"—Harper's fiazar.
African Expressions,
"Africans," writes a missionary, "have some very striking expressions, showing that they are full of poetical ideas. The Moongnes call thunder 'the sky's gun,'and the morning is with them 'the day's child.' The Zulus call the twilight'the eyelashes of the sun.' An African who came to America was shown some Ice, which he had not seen before, and he called it 'water fast asleep.

A Mississippi girl desoribed her first visit to a city in the following rhapsody: "Oh, I had snch a perfectly beautiful time! Everything was so converted, you know. We stopped to a house where we rode to our rooms in a refrigerator, and our rooms were illustrated with election lights. There was no stove in the room, but one of those legislators in the floor, and the heat poured right up through. I did not have any appetite and could not get a thing I could realize.
