The Houses to be Numbered.

The City Council has granted per-
mission TO Mr.. L. j. Thompson, of
Evansville, 10 number the houses of
the city, and he is now in the city
and is arranging to begin the work
at once. The plan will be what is
known as the philadelphia system
The city will be divided into four
sections with the starting points at
the intersection of Main and Seventh
streets. These will be known as
North or South Main, East or West
Seventh, etc, and numbered accord
ingly. The even numbers will be on
the east and north sides and the odd
numbers on the west and south. For
instance starting at the point where
the dividing streets cross, the Glass
corner will be No. l, South Main, the
Bank Of Hopkinsville No. 2, South
Main; the Jones corner No. l, North
Main, and the City Bank No. 2, North
Main and so on in each direction.
On the other hand all west of Main
will be known as West Seventh and
all east as East Seventh, Eighth,
Ninth, etc.
The numbers will be determined
by measurement where the houses
are irregular, 20 feet being allowed
to each front, and the ground will be
numbered or left blank where there
are no buildings. Each square will
begin new hundred, although none
of our squares are large enough to
take up so numbers, even counting
stairways. This will allow plenty of
margin for additions, and any square
can be re-numbered without inter-
fering with any other square. To
illustrate this and make IL plain: The
IIopkinsyille Bank will be No 2, S.
Main ;Hooser& Overshiner's No. 102 ;
the next corner 202, the next 302 and
so on TO the city limits. On the 9TH
er end of the street the same order
will be observed. This is a little
more complicated than some plans,
but it provides for the future, is sim
pie enough when understood, num-
bers the blocks as well as the
buildings and is altogether one Of
the most approved systems. 1t was
originated In Philadelphia, from
which fact it gets its name. The
greatest advantage in II is that it OBJ
viates the necessity Of Remembering
every few years as new houses go up.

getting up map of the city to
aid him in his work and will

bers, which will cost from 25 cents ~
to the most costly styles. Our people
are alive to the Importance of the
work and we feel assured that there
will be no obstacles to overcome in
putting the work through. The city
council will be asked to have the
street names put on the corners, when
they hold their next meeting, which
will be a matter of only few dollars
and we feel assured that they will
make the necessary appropriation

the work makes a business of it ant

CHARACTER.

Character is growth, and so is
influence. One does not achieve the
perfection of character in day, nol
can one expect to exert the whole
measure of his influence at once. In
deed, he does not have the influence
to exert untilit has had time to grow
A man comes as stranger into a
community. He may be man OF
high character, but it will require
time before his very being in the
community will have its power. Oh
course some men have larger individ-
uality than others. Sometimes off
cial position of some sort serves to
give influence. But in any case is
an element in the securing of power.
We ought not, then, to be inpatient
if influence does not come to us all
at once, at least in the measure
which We desire. The main thing for
us to look to is that our characters
are growing symmetrically. Real
goodness always has power. And we
ought to see to it that we put forth
influence for good whenever we can.
Those who live thus are blessing
while they live, and are mourned and
missed when removal or death takes
them away.

OPPOSED TO Law AND GOD.

The terrible and bloody riot in
Chicago last week between the So
cialists or Anarchists and the police,
in which number on both sides
were killed and wounded, was melted
by incendiary editorials in the Ar
better Zeitung newspaper, edited by
Augustus Spies, Schwab and others,
and by handbills and speeches. A.
Il. Parsons, one of the leaders, has a
negro wife. These Socialists declare
they are opposed to all law human
and divine, and that the police being
representatives of law, should be re-
garded as enemies and killed. They
also affirm that they do not believe
in God, and if a God existed it
would be necessary to abolish Him.
They claim to fight capitalists and
their principles are to bring on a
civil revolution, in the shedding of
blood, in the use of dynamite, the
sword and the torch. Their great
apostle, John Most, tells his hearers
in his lectures how to prepare dyna-
mite and organize societies for anar-
chy. After the Socialistic revolution
he promises that there shall be di-
vision of property, no debts, no rents,
plenty of work and good pay, no
courts, no punishment>for crime, but
criminals will be treated simply as
diseased persons. Such drivel wins
the ignorant and viscious. Men ad-
vocating such views are not fit to
live in America, and the government
should suppress the teachings of such
doctrines if Winchester rifles have to
be freely used to accomplish it.
The Chicago police laided the So
cialistic newspaper office, and found
dynamite, pistols and guns. Some
% printers were arrested, also the
leaders of the riot, and held for MUIR
der.

DIVING FOR G1OO, 900.
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

The English divers and Capt. r.
f. Stevens, Lloyd's surveyor, have
Just returned from the Island of
Grand Canary after raising a sum of
no less than 100000. This amount
was lying submerged 1913 feet deep
about mile from the southernmost
limit of the Island Grand Canary.
The treasure went down about two
years ago in Il brand new Spanish
steamer called the Alphonso XII.
The steamer had on board 100000
worth of Spanish dollars on their
way to Cuba. The insurance on the
money was effected at Lloyd's, and
was paid over to the insurers after
the vessel foundered.
After lapse of over a year Capt.
r. F. Stevens and three English di-
Vers were sent out to Grand Canary
to try and recover the sunken treas.
ure. They succeeded in bringing up
nine boxes containing specie of the
value of 10000 each, but the tenth
box could not be found, and the di-
vers had to come away without it.
The money was in the mail room,
almost at the bottom Of the ship.
The decks had to be forced by explo-
sion, and when the mail room was
! reached the plucky divers had TO
haul de boxes from one deck to tho
otlo until gha gop deeb.of the vessel

GOING SECURITY.

Waldo F. Brown, Esq, on of our
best thinkers, aud most reliable
authority on agricultural matters
has tins to say upon the too common
practice OF our farmers of going Sc
curity. Going security, he saws.
means exactly this: That YOU as
sumo all the risk of another mans
business, with no voice in it's man
agement, and chance to share the
profits if successful, but with GER
tainty Of loss from rascality, neglect.
or unavoidable misfortune, if the
maker of the note fails to pay it. It
is most absured thing that man
should be willing to assume such risk
and responsibility, for no considera-
ton whatever, simply because it has
become custom. Ask Yourself the
question, why should | take the risk
OF this note instead of the man who
sells the property" and it seems to
me the absurdity of the thing will
strike you forcibly and at once. An
other point make is, that married
man has no right to endorse without
the consent of his wife Thousands
OF men have been hopelessly bank
rupted by endorsing, who would new
er have put their name to a note if
they had asked the advice of their
wives and followed it. The wife has
helped accumulate the property, and
in case of your own death will be left
for the bringing up and educating of
the family, and it is mean, unjust and
dishonest, to sign your name to an
obligation without her knowledge
and consent. Ifyou had a partner
who would use the firm name in this
way you would call him rascal, and
justly, and the partnership between a
man and his wife is closer and calls
Tor as much honor certainly, as one
with some one else.
| believe that in ninety-nine cases
out ola hundred the endorser signs
the note simply because he believes
that there is no danger of his having
to pay it, aud would not do it if he
would have it topay. | believe there
rare cases where it is right to help a
poor man, but that it should never be
done without the knowledge and
consent Of the wife, never without
the intention of paying it promptly
the day it is due, if the principal can
not do it, and never in larger
amount than you can spare without
seriously Gripping your business

We had an Ohio preacher and his
daughter, passengers from Alexan-
dria, on board, and the preacher told
US about the peninsula and town OF
Athos.
Before Christendom,' said he,
recluses used to live at Mount Athos
in holes in the ground. The solemn
ity inspired by the bare peak of the
mountain harmonized well with their
minds, bent on wild and mystic
thoughts. &c. said he, after the
Lew religion came, the place got to
be popular resort for monks who
didn't want to live with the rest of
mankind, and Greek months have
been going to that peninsula ever
since, until now, after 1000 or 100
years, they have formed an ecclesias-
tical self-government. Under the
Byzantine emperors the monks were
under no secular control whatever,
but now the Turkish government
keeps a caimakam there. He has
no power, however. His duty is only
toobserve the monks. The caimakam
has two zaptiethes or soldiers for a
body guard, but they represent the
honor Of his office more than the
power. The community has its own
police in the shape of a squad Of Al
banians. The monks govern them
selves by council Representatives,
over which the proteros, the presi-
dent, rules. He is called the first
man of Athos. The proteros can on
ly be boss for three months at time.
He then resigns to the next eminent
citizen until the honor is shared by
every man in the council.

ed on any pretence whatever to set
foot in the territory. No female
creature of any kind--cow, she goat,
or mare, or animal capable of giving
birth to its kinds found there.
Not even hens are permitted in Athos.
So there have been no births, no
marriages, no love-making nor scan
dals there. "-NeW York Star.
