Terre Haute offers manufacturing industries unequalled inducements. Fuel is cheaper than in any city in the west, so sheap that flour is manufactured at less Bost for power than prevails anywhere else in the country. There are nine railroad* leading Into the city, making freight rates cheaper than for any city of Its size in the west.

There was considerable of a resemblance to the lion in the entrance of March.

The Wabash Courier, a journal which for ten years past has advocated the principles of the Democratic party, appeared yesterday morning as a straightout Republican paper.

We notice that Mrs.* Senatof so and so is giving breakfasts in Washington. Out here in Terre Haute breakfasts, dinners and suppers are given to beggars every day, and it is not a matter of newspaper mention.

There has never been a better feeling among the Vigo Republicans than 3" shown at the mass convention yesteri* day. Colonel Thompson in a few 1

Is words expressed the spirit of the occasion and predicted the victory which ".,pf all members of the party intend laborinK to secure at the coming elections. ^v. The outlook locally is no different from that presented throughout the state V'- V'f and country.

It seems that we have not reached the worst that could come from the last meeting of the legislature. A dispatch from Indianapolis says: The prospects are that the state's funds will be exhausted during the year, and that the financial ability of Indiana will be somewhat straitened for some years, owing to extraordinary expenditures pending for which no preparation "RasnSeen fflkile. The new hospitals are to be built, but no levy to meet the expenses, estimated at $600,000, was made by thelegislature. Shoulda levy be found necessary by th*e next legislature it will hardly be in force before another will be urgent to meet the $585,000 of 5 per cent, bonds, which at the state's option are payable any time before 1889.

-^JsjAn interesting incident in the benevolent work of the missionary societies is the history of a little vessel on the

Pacific ocean, called the Morning Star. The Micronesian Islands are a thousand or more small islands grouped f* near the equator in the Pacific. The nearest is 6,000 miles from San Francisco. It seems that for nearly thirty -years the Morning Star—not always the same, for one, worn out, was replaced by another to be wrecked and replaced by slill another—has been %r «,w~ threading the channels of the Southern

Archipelago as a messenger and supply ship of a Boston Missionary society. The three vessels, costing in the aggregate $65,000, were built chiefly bv dimes given by children and now a fourth, still larger, driven by steam and sail, is to replace the last, and it will also be built by Sunday-school children, who will give nearly $50,000 for construction and support. We can at laast call up a pleasing mental vision of this vessel on its voyage, a circuit -*"of 10,000 miles, in perpetual summer, among islands always beautiful and to -v,-S a race rapidly decimating in its own ignorance and views. It stops now to 'I land a missionary, barrels of Boston biscuits and beans, boxes of books and a sewing machine on the same coral coasts where once the Polynesians cheerfully watched for a boats crew— to eat. It Bights its course often by a little church among the cocoa trees, and takes a load of South sea produce, contributed to the church by a decent-ly-clad congregation, which a few years ago danced a war dance, clad in a handful of feathers, drunk as only savages could be.

$»,

The Morning Star work goes on 'quietly and slowly, yet the aggregate looks very large in figures and no doubt is fully appreciated by the generous little donors here and elsewhere who have given their dimes to build the useful missionary ship.

YOICE OF THE PEOPLE.

The Cemetery Question.

To the Editor of the Express. SIB: I notice in this morning's Issue that the committee on selecting a site for a cemetery held a meeting to report what they had seen on their rounds looking for a location. Now, Mr. Editor, perhaps this committee is not aware that procrastination Is the thief of time. That is what the writer of this was taught when he was a boy attending school.

think that the sooner this

thing is settled the better. We have now bodies lying in the vault waiting for something to turn up. In fact, If the grounds were purchased to-day, It would take ttiree months for them to be put In shape so that lots could be sold. Now I am opposed to the city having anything to do in the matter. I want to see a stock company formed, which I am informed has been done already. Why do they hesitate? The longer this matter is putoff the worse It will be. You may go Co any city not half so large as ours and you will find a cemetery that is an ornament to the city, and which the citizens feel proud of and take great pride In keep-

Ing In nice shape. No

ow. Mr. Editor,

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL.

Lesson for March 2—Subject: The Living God—Acts xvtt., 2X-84. If we follow Paul's journeys we shall find ihim next in the beautiful city of Athens, a very different place from the quiet little town of Berea, up among the mountains. This city of Athens had a seaport where ships came to bring it treasures from other countries. It had broad streets, elegant houses,'and splendid temples filled beautiful pictures, and statues made of marble, and ivory, and gold. There were gardens filled with flowers, groves of graceful trees, and a lovely fountain, from which the cool water was carried through all tlie streets. The people themselves wore rich clothing, and went every day to costly feasts, where they had slaves to wait upon them, and players upon all kinds of instruments to amuse tbein. The wisest men and the greatest poets that lived came to teach and to talk to them, and yet the wisest among them was not wite as any little Christian chili', '-fv had never been taught of the

s:ic

liv

ing God who created and preserves everything. They believeed in a great many godB, and as Paul went about the city he saw their images and their alatrs everywhere. The altars were a sort of table made of marble, upon which the people put wine and fruit and money for the god whom they wished to please. One god, they thought, took care of travelers, and so, when they were goiug away, they would bring a gift and lay on the altar, and ask that he would bring them safely back. Another one had the care "of the fruit and grain, and so when they had plentiful narvests they brought thank offerings to him. Hundreds and hundreds of these altars were set all over the city, each one with the name of the god to which it belonged carved upon it. Temples and-iaols were so multiplied in Athens that Petronius declared that it was easier to find a god thin a man there. But with all this multiplicity of s?ods there was no religion hi Athens. Faith had degenerated into superstitious fear or evaporated in a cynical self-conceit. The Stoies were Pantheists, in whose thought the world was God the body was soul death was absorption of the fragment inte the all reason was the standard pleasure and pain were indifferent good and evil shadows. The Epicureans were materialists, in

#whose

thought there

was no god the" universe was an accident life was a set of chances the body was man happiness was the standard death was dissolution good and evil only Bhadows. In boih schools duty was without either definition or sanction immortality was of the race, not of the individual God was the unknown and the unknowable. The ethics were those of Hume the hopes those of Frederick Harrisdn the god that of Herbert Spencer.

But among all these idols Paul found one inscribed to the unknown God. This was his text. He found here a common ground on which to meet them. There was something in the faith which reared this idol which the believer in the one tiue God, the ruler of heaven and earth, could speak upon. Paul did not attack their skepticism nor their superstition. He even strained a point to commend them. On this point Mr. Lyman Abbott says: "We make a great mistake in attempting to controvert error by direct assault. Falsehood is like an earthwork the more shot are buried in it the stronger it becomes. Crime is always to be reprehended error not. For under no crime is there virtue but under every error there is a truth The Romanist bowing before Virgin Mary worship the motherhood there is in God. The atheist, denying that there is a God, protests against the idolatry which demands worship for our images and pictures of the Deity. A truthseeker will find some truth in every error, as it is said that chemistry can find some gold in almost every soil. You cannot convince a combatant by conquering him. To denounce errorists is to confirm them in their error to acknowledge their honesty and earnestness of purpose is the first step toward convincing them. I may not believe that man descended from an arboreal ancestor of hairy habit, and furnished with a tail but if I am to discuss with an evolutionist I must find some truth in evolutionism. If I can find none I am not the man to conduct the discussion. When the rich young ruler came to Christ with the question, "What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" Christ did notpronounae a sermon against justification by workB he told him to keep the commandments, and left him to find out and confess for himself that he lacked something. Denunciation of agnosticism is cheap, easy—and useless."

In making a concession Paul secured the attention of hig hearers. He believed s»me things they believed, and they would listen to him. When he had secured this attention he went on to tea them about this true God, this unknown God to whom they had erected an altar. So, were he livingin this day, would he preach to the agnostics. Ha would not ransack the writings of scientists to find that which would prove them atheists, but to find out what, they wrote could be used to defend Christianity. He would even cull from Robert Ingersoll's writings and speeches his reluctant testimonials of the divine in man and about man, rather thanhis blasphemies. -a '"ft* t* *1% '*5^1

Lawrence Barrett Next Wednesday in Francegca da Rimini—Where the Theatrical Stars are Shining Sporting

Notes—On the Turf.

Harrison and Gourlay appeared last night, to the smallest house of the season, in their famous time-waster called "Skipped by the Light of the Moon." The title promises more comedy than the play fulfills. Louis Harrison has appeared to advantage in previous burlesques, but there is nothing in this that cannot be done by any glib talker. Volubility passes for wit and noise for fun in this attenuated farce that has little humor that is new and much that is stale. John Gourlay was made up well for a character and would be good in some other piece. Morris, as the policeman was good, and Miss Schultz as Sarah, having a song aud dance, was able to show some spirit in the first act. The rest of the company was quite mediocre or worse,

Barrett.

Lawrence Barrett opens at the Opera house, Wednesday evening, the 5th inst., producing that magnificent, most sterling of quality and all-powerful play, "Francesca Da Rimini," by George H. Boker. This wonderful composition has been produced by Mr. Barrett throughout the United States for a period of nearly two years, and has met with all possible success. It was played in Philadelphia for two weeks, and en several occasions the house arose in a body and cheered, shout after shout ringing through the vast auditorium. That Mr. Barrett deserves this great success is fully admitted, as he has spent years of hard labor to gain the high pinnacle of fame which he has now attained. That the production Wednesday night will be fullv up to the standard is more than assured, as Mr. Barrett has never been known to slight even the "one-night stands."

Note*.

Bret Hart has another new play ready. Lillian Russell is making a big hit in comic opera in Europe.

Having made his will, Mr. Barnum was latdy asked if he thought he would go to Heaven when he died. "Well, I don't see why not," was the characteristic reply of the great advertiser. "I think I have the best show on earth."

Mr. W. C. Coup has opened a Great Museum and Theater in Chicago., 111., which covers an entire block, and having eight mammoth museum halls, with a seating capacity of over 2,500 people. He is playing comic opera at twenty-five cents admission to enormous business.

Billy Birch, the famous minstral, has lost all of his colossal fortune speculate ing in Wall street, and his professional friends are going to give him a benefit. The proceeds of which ought to be chained up in Mrs. Birclrs name. Wall street can get along without them.

Articles for another six-day race, to commence in Madison Square Garden, New York, April 28, were on February 25, signed in that city by Charles Rowell, Patrick Fitzgerald, Robert Vint and George D. Noremac. The contestants are by the terms of the articles quired to put in $100 each, the winner to take 70 per cent, of the sweepstakes money, the second man 20 per cent., and the third 10 per cent. The conditions provide for the division oi the net gate veceipts as before.

The Mentor, a forthcoming work by Alfred Avres, contains the following excellent advice to theater-goers: "Finally, if you remain to the end of a performance, remain indeed to the end—remain in your seat and remain quiet until the last word has been spoken or the last note has been sung. Be not one of those un-bred persons that when the end approaches begin to make ready to go, or perhaps get up and push piist otherB, disturbing everybody in the house, players as well as auditors, in their selfish haste to reach the door. I repeat, you have no more right to disturb others at a place of amusement than you have to pick their pockets, for when you disturb others you rob them of a part of that for which they have paid their money."

Salmi Morse, who committed puicide by drowning himseif in New York last week, was fifty-eight years of age, and was born in Germany. He was educated in England and traveled extensivelv, spending much of his time in the fiolv Land, where he conceived the idea of "writing the Passion Play. His success in the ventureiuSan Francisco some 'ars ago, with James O'Neil as the chief character, will be remembered, but his unsuccessful fight to introduce his work in New York despite the authorities will be more clearly recollected. None of his ventures were successful in New York, aud when his body was found only forty-one cents in money was upon his person, which was evidently all he had. A mad life terminated in a ii.ud death fitly applies to this poor, unfortunate victim of circumstances.

Al. J. Reach, the veteran manufacturer of base ball goods, who was recently interviewed by a Philadelphia reporter, is responsible for the following statement: "During the year just closed we have mede upward ot 1, 315,000 balls, or an average of 300 dozen per day for the year round Our capacity is 400 dozen per day. We make fourteen different styles of balls. Nearly three-fifths of last year's work were of the cheaper grades used by boys, and a good share of the remaining two-fifths were of the make known. as the 'Amateur Dead' and 'Professional Dead.' We can't get enough wood we want for making base ball bats. The second growth of ash is the best, and that is hard to get. It comes from Wisconsin and Michigan, and should lie a year to season after being cut before it is used. To kiln-dry it makes the bat brittle. Our red-band bats are made of the second growth of ash, There are two other styles of bats—the 'professional ash,' which was popular with professional players before the red-bands came out, and the'American willow' (really basswood). Of the three grades we made between 600 and 800 gross last year, or about 100,000 bats."

Horse Notes.

Prepared for the Express. Our valuable citizen, Col. R. G. Hervey, who believes in Terre Hante and a "boom" for all our enterprises, was made a member of the Terre Haute Trotting association tbe other evening, and the members recognize him as quite an acquisition to the association. He is a level-headed, square-gaited fellow, wears neither weights or boots, and made a record of 2:20 the first meeting he attended. He never fails to show to the front in every enterprise in which he is entered, as everybody in Terre Haute knows, and his counsel will be a great help to the association. The colonel, among his many accdinplishments, is a thorough horseman, having in his younger days been an active participant in mony a "cross country" dash, and we will wager a chip that he "headed the hunt*' frequently.

Think of $6,000 in purses at one meeting for Terre Haute! Well, if that does not indicate good horses and good races, and a good crowd, reading signs is a lost art. The street car company can well afford to extend their line to the Fair grounds, and ought, in addition to that, give a purse of $400. Numerous entertainments would bo held at the grounds that never think of going there now, if cheap transportation was provided, and the profit to the street car company would be something like (hat realized from the ball park last year. It certainly looks as though Terre Hante

have trotting meetings that will bv creditable to a city of 35,000 population, and get through the races the advertising she needs.

Many of our citizens interested in horses are not aware oi the number of very valuable horses owned«by Messrs. W. R.and Samuel McKeen, and kept at their model stock farm east of the city. Thev have several colts by

Blackwood, jr.," "George Wilkes and "Young Jim Wilkes colts bred and raised at comparatively small expense, and now worth from $300 to $2,000 eicb. Persons breeding mares ought to look at the above-mentioned stock, and if they do we are certain they will hunt up a well bred horse and not breed to a common.

In looking over the rules of the Trotting association we were struck with rule 24, and thought how badly it had been abused in Terre Haute. Rule 24 reads as follows: "None but tbe judges of the race in progress, and their assistants, shall be allowed in the judges' stand during die pendency of a neat." How often have we seen here, a number of men in the judge's stand who had no business there. Men who seem to think they have the "right of way" everywhere they go clamber up into the stand and have their say, about placing the horses in the heat, and interfere with •the gentlemeo who have been asked to judge the race. In some cases they are interested in the pool box ana have an object in awarding the heat, but generally they go there because they know one or more of the judges, and because it is a good place from which to see the race. They make comments on the race just as freely as they would in the grand stand, not realizing that the judges are not to be advised by spectators, bnt are to exercise their own judgment, and award the race on the merit of the horses,and have been selected as judges because of their ability to correctly decide the race according to rule. It would be a good thing if tbe association could erect a new judges' stand, with a weighing room underneath, and a timer's stand above, all securely fastened, BO intruders could be kept out, and the judges left alone during the race.

At Chinn & Morgan's sale of thoroughbreds, in Lexington, on the 27th ult., twenty-one head were sold for $21,225, an average of $1,010 per head.

Ira Bride & Co. are to pay $35,000 for the pooling privileges for the eight days' racing at the New Washington Park track, Chicago.

James McLaughlin, the jocky, in 1883 won for his chief employers, the Dwyer Brothers, the enormous sum of $128,515, and for other employers $25,729, making a total of $154,344 won last season.

A match of "big ones" is that between the brown gelding Great Eastern, record 2:18, owned by John Fox, of Pearsalls, Long Island, and the bay gelding Big Fellow, record 2:23J, owned by Gabe Case, of New York city, to take place in June next for$l,000 a side, mile heats, best three in five, to harness. Each horse stands seventeen hands high.

The death of "Old Roany," the dam of Frank Landers, is announced. Racegoers in Terre Haute, and we expect in a number of other cities, mourn because she did not "shuffle off" before she ever gave Frank Landers to the turf. It is hard lines, to carry to another country tbe responsibility for such a horse \s Frank Landers. If Frank Landers does not die himself before the racing season commences, he ought at least be ruled off all tracks. It is a sure thing that we are all late to supper when he starts in a race, besides being out of humor for the remainder of the evening.

B. J. Treacy thinks that in Prince Wilkes, by Red Wilkes, he has the winner of the three-year-old colt stakes at Chicago, and we beg to say that we endorse the opinion. We have seen this fellow trot, and the California crowd of youngsters will have to fly to beat him.

At Palo Alto stock farm, California, Lula, record of 2:15, and May Queen, record of 2:20, have recently dropped foals by Electioneer. These colts are worth thousands of dollars, now, and will develop marvelous speed, if there is anything in blood and performance.

A hurdle race is one of the probabilities at the coming trotting meetinj here, and if it can be arranged, wil prove the most popular race of the meeting. Most of our people are fond of a running race, and if the runners take a few hurdles in good style, it will create mare enthusiasm than was ever seen at our track. Bring in your jumpers, gentlemen.

Fishing through the ice for smelts is a thriving industry at Darmariscotla Me. More than one hundred houses, built upon ice, shelter the fishermen. Most all of them have a little stove, in which a fire is maintained, and there all day long the fisher sits, with his lines dropped through a hole in the ice inside his house.

It is probable that the men employed in the New York police department will not receive any pay for work done on the 29th of February. The policemen get a certain amount annually and this isxlivided into 365 days. As no provision is made -or leap year their pay will not include work done on the 29th.

FROM THE FATHER:

a doty for me to state to yon the benefit I hare derived from the use of

Ayer's Sarsaparilla.

Six months ago 1 was completely eoTered with a terrible humor and scrofulous sores. The humor caused an inoessant and Intolerable ituhing, and the cracked so as to cause the blood to flow in many places whenever I moved. My sufferings were great, and my life a harden. I commenced the use of the SABSAPARILLA in April last, and have used it regularly since that time. My condition began to improve at once. The aores have all healed, and I fed perfectly wall in every respect—being now able to do a good day's work, although 78 years of sge. Many inquire what has wrought such a cure in my ease, and I tell them, as I have here tried to tell you, AYKB'S ffAHBAPt«TT.T.*.
