SENATOR MASON'S voice is no longer raised for war. He "wants dem presents back" that the burglars stole from his Washington residence.
HIS LATEST BLUNDER.
The revenue bill that Turpie, Allen, Tillman and other free silver and paper money advocates are now supporting in the senate, provides for the issue of $150,000,000 in legal tender notes, and the bill 'says "said notes shall be exempt from taxation by or under state or municipal authority." Last week, the Mail referred to this as a forced loan from the people.
The Rockville Tribune, which has a way of assuming that any allusion to the Democratic, Free Silver, Populist or Greenback parties is a personal reflection upon itself, excitedly exclaims, "the Terre Haute Mail, as usual, betrays its ignorance of the financial question by saying the friends of paper money propose to issue notes ex empt from taxation."
The Mail has indeed shown its ignorance in the usual way, by being correct, and, unlike the Tribune, by discussing matters in which it is sure of the facts. The Mail is not going to show ignorance of apparent facts by accusing the Tribune of good sense in finance or good manners. It's favorite style of argument, is to shriek "ignorance" at any who favor different policies. In regard to the exemption of notes from taxation, as proposed by the friends of paper money, to influence the fall elections, the Tribune evidently is ignorant. As it is only about two weeks since the exemption was last mentioned in the press and Congressional Record, the Tribune has not yet caught on. It acknowledges in the last issue that the editor has read several quarter-sheet posters through before learning that they were not newspapers. He ought to read more Records and fewer posters. At the same time, a little more urbanity, and less mental dyspepsia, would relieve that mental gloom which leads the Tribune to think that free-silver editors are the objects of our contempt. Some of them are very clever and able men, who carry on their free-silver joke with admirable gravity. Why can't the Tribune cheer up and look pleasant like them, even when most conscious of some of its awful blunders?

AN EXCELLENT RECORD.
How a Terre Haute Institution Saved Money to an Estate, and Settled it Promptly.
The administration of estates by trust
companies has grown to be an important business in the larger cities, where
in
guardianships and similar trusts are attended to by these companies. There is a similar institution here in Terre Haute and its affairs are so economically and thoroughly administered that it is enabled to save money to estates entrusted to its care. Its business is not confined to this county alone, as a recent case will demonstrate. The Terre Haute Trust company, of which Mr. I. H. C. Royse is president, a little over a year ago, was appointed executor of the estate of Mrs. Anna R. James, of Dana, Vermillion county.
The company has made its report in final settlement of the estate, and in doing so makes a big point in its splendid record in handling such trusts. The appraised value of the estate amounted to $17,133.04 being $16,133.04 personal, mainly notes and mortgages, and $1,000 real estate.
The loans were all collected in and the real estate sold at the appraised value, and the estate distributed to the heirs within sixteen months after the death of testator. The interest on the funds paid all expenses of administration, current taxes, court costs and attorneys' fees, and added a net growth to the estate of $598.47, and gave the creditors and legatees for distribution that amount more than the appraised value of the estate.
Such a report must be very gratifying to the people who have named the trust company as executor in their wills, and will be a forcible reminder to thofte who have not done so of the importance of thus making provision for the prompt settlement of their estates by an institution that brings such results.
The collection of so large an amount of loans within so short a time without the loss of a dollar is no small compliment to the financial management of Mr. I. H. C. Royse, who attended to Mrs. James' business and made most of her investments for nearly a quarter of a century.
"BEAUTY CULTURE."
Mrs. B. A. Rhine of Chicago to Lecture to tho Ladles of Terre Haute Next "Wednesday at the Grand.
Mrs. B. A. Rhine, of Chicago, has located in this city, and taken room 204 in the Grand Opera House block. She will give a free lecture to the ladies of Terre Haute next Wednesday afternoon at the Grand on the subject, "Beauty Culture." Mrs. Rhine recently gave a series of lectures at the Propylaeum, Indianapolis, before large and fashionable audiences and was well received in the highest social circles of the capital city. Rev. D. H. Guild, the well-known pastor of the First M. E. church, of Knightstown, fihisjstate, has this to say of Mrs. Rhine and her lectures in that place: "Her lectures were attended by the best ladies of the city and very highly spoken of by those who heard them. Mrs. Rhine is a cultured and refined Christian lady doing a good work. I do not hesitate to recommend her to the confidence of all interested in a higher and better physical life." State Health Board on Water Supply.
The last report issued by the state board, of health says that it is the consensus of opinion among sanitary engineers and scientists that all public water supplies should be filtered, for this is the only certain way to know that water is always pure. The water in a well is drawn from the surrounding earth. From one side of the well the earth may be drained only twenty feet, and into the other side may run a stream which has traversed miles underground. Sometimes a well may be fed from the underground stream and sometimes from the porous earth into which it is dug. In any case the likelihood of the earth around the well becoming polluted is very great. Filth is foolishly allowed to enter the ground in which our wells are sunk.
The citizens of cities using mechanically filtered water should have no fear of typhoid fever and other water-borne diseases. The state board of health most earnestly advises all towns to use only filtered water. Good business economy, health, common sense, all sustain this recommendation.
Louis C. O'Brien, the fish dealer, on Main street, near Eighth, has sold his place to J. J. Hager, and removed to Indianapolis, his former home. It is said that a number of O'Brien's creditors were after him a short time before he departed, and he left a number of unpaid bills behind. O'Brien announced that the sale of his business was caused by the ill health of his wife, whom he proposed to take to some health resort in Wisconsin for the summer in the hope of benefiting her health.
