Every member of the Board of Trade should make it a point to go to the rooms as often as possible, if only for a lew minutes. The popular hour for meeting there will be between 11 and 12 o'clock.

The Board of Trade has been formally opened and with the brightest prospects. Of course the effort is not concluded there is much to be done yet, and the business men of the city are willing to do all in their power to further this institution which has been so auspiciously inaugurated. Nothing need be said as to the benefits to be derived from aBoard of Trade everything that can be urged in that regard has been set before the people. The thing to do now is to keep the Board full of life.

The pride and boast of Terre Haute, the Polytechnic school, has lately been somewhat isolated by a sea of mud. This expanse of stickinesp, while not navigable for gun-boats is almost too much for gum-boots. It ia intended to complete the streets in that vicinity in the spring. It is so ordered and the order is probably not intended as a feeler of the public miud to ascertain its viewsjon mud and gravel. It would be right pleasant for the city fathers to take a walk out around the Polytechnic so that they can remember all about it next summer when the roads are naturally good and need no improvement.

The New York Tribune summarizing the events of last week which indicate an improved condition of the iron market, which feels the approach of depression or prosperity, earlier than any other line of industry, mentions the following: "The Penn Iron-works, the most extensive at Lancaster started Thursday, difficulties as to wages* having been settled. Falling Spring Furnace, Chambereburg, Pa., has resumed. Carrie Furnace, at Rankin Station, Pa., has been fin ished and blown in. The Thomas Company will blow in one of its stacks, which has been idle six months. The Lucy Furnace, Glendon, Pennsylvania, is being put in order to blow in. The rolling mills of the Joliet Iroii and Steel company will start one turn to-day. The locomotive works at Schenectady started March 11th. The Tremont Nail company, Wareham, Massachusetts, has started with new hands, and the Wareham company is about to start. The larger furnace of the South Boston Iron company started March 1st to cast a twelve-inch rifled mortar for the United States. The Hazard Wire-Rope works, Wilkesbarre, is making a cable 43,000 feet long for a Kansas City street railroad. The stove foundries in Troy still demand 20 per cent, reduction in wages at one factory the men agreed to go to work but the union prohibited them. The union has spent $12,000 in fighting the Malleable iron works, and has only $1,200 in the treasury. The Reis sheet iron mill, Newcastle, Pa., will resume to day after an idleness of several months. The Pratt Coal & Iron company, the Alice furnace, and the Lincoln company, of Birmingham, Ala., are to be consolidated in one organization with $3,000,000 capital, owniij ing two furnaces, 500 coke ovens,

mines now yielding 2,500 to 3,000 tonB of coal daily, find about 500,000 acres of coal and iron lands. The property is said to be the most extensive of the *^6ort in the country, and several new furnaces are to be built."

Old and costly rings of all kinds are at present a passion with dames who have handsome hands to show them off.

AN OPEN BOARD.

educated add energetic population. From necessity, however, none of them are railroad centers and they must, in a great degree, rely upon us for commercial advantages. That is Inevitable.

THE SPIRIT OE FAIB DEALING. By the cultivation of a proper spirit and harmony with them, and more than all, by fair dealing with them, we shall be enabled to convince them that it Is to their interest to trade with us. I say "fair dealing" and I repeat it because while we are engaged in our ordinary pursuits to success followed up by tmr energies to great results, there are now and then men who forget that in the intercourse of the commercial world, the same fprinciples of integrity should govern them in their ordinary intercourse with men. But that cannot be said of the bulk of our business population In Terre Haute. We have a reputation for fair dealing which Is In the hands of our people to uphold and should they adhere with these rules with our commercial Intercourse, with neighboring cities, town and throughout the country, then we .nay expect grand and noble results to follow. It does not follow that because a man is anxiouE to get rich he should struggle here to get wealthy If he should forget these rules. There Is nothing to demand it, but on the other hand the rules which merchants have established and trading men have established for their government have been based on the highest principles of morality and integrity, and by observing them in our intercourse with the world, we shall be able to feel that we have discharged all our business obligations with an eye always attributed to great conservative principles. One effect must be necessary to make these rules more or less binding upon the members of the Board. Coming together and interchanging opinions, there will finally grow up a code of rules for this organization based upon the highest principles of Integrity. 1 repeat because I am not making a speech pre-

Fared,

or with a view to make a speech, do not know but speech making with me Is pretty nearly over but I repeat that It depends upon us, upon the business men of Terre Haute, whether this organization shall be a failure or a succes

SHALL IT BE A SUCCESS?

If you all say so then it will be. Now do you promise that it will be? tycheers and answers "yes."] Then the resultls already achieved and we shall all see the richness of the fruits which will grow out of our exertion. Before I stop it is right and paoner and the desire of the President of the Board that I shall notify you of the manner in which our friends of our neighboring city of Indianapolis are disposed to treat our organization. Here is a telegram just received:

GREETING FKOM INDIANAPOLIS. "M, ?. Hervey, President Terre Haute Board of Trade,

Indianapolis Board of Trade sends greetings upon this occasion of your opening ceremonies. Long life and prosperity.

A. D. LYNCH, President."

To this letter Is the reply of "Long life and prosperity to the Board of Trade of Indianapolis," represnting as it does the trading interest of tbe capital of the state, one of the greatest cities of the west, in which we take as deep an Interest as the citizens of Terre Haute ought to take, and whose prosperity is near our own heart. I am requested also to read the following letter from a prominent merchant in Paris:

GEEEEING FKOM PARIS.

"I have received by the compliments of R. G. Hervey your very kind Invitation to be present at the opening ceremonies of the Terre Haute Board of Trade, and also to dine with Its members on the 20th Inst. It would afford me the greatest pleasure to be present on an occasion of such peculiar interest to any citizen of your city, to enjoy a few hours with those who are determined to keep full abreast of western enterprise, but my duties here tn court will prevent my attendance. Regretting my inability to be with you, and wishing your enterprise the

fng

reatest prosperity and success in bringto your beautiful city an increased trade, etc., I am, very respectfully, "A. J. HUNTER."

GREETING FROM OUR CONGRESSMAN. I have a telegram from the Hon. John E. Lamb, as follows:

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, WASHINGTON, D. C.

C. C. Oakey, Esq DEAR SIR. I congratulate you most heartily upon the organization of aBoard of Trade in our thriving city and shall take great pleasure in sending you whatever public documents I can procure. With best wishes for the success of your young organization, I am

Very Truly Yours, JOHN E. LAMB.

You will see therefore that we are known abroad. We have got to maintain our reputation—that reputation is already high, too high to be sported away, and for one feeling a* I do the deepest possible interest 111 the prosperity of Terre Haute where I hnve lived for fortytwo years, and where, if I shal live for forty-two more years, I shall continue to be, feeling the deepest possible interest in the prosperity of Terre Haute. I am quite willing for one to trust its future reputation, its future honor, interest and prosperity in the hands of the business people of our city. [Loud and continued applause.]

President C. O. Thompson

having been introduced to the Board spoke as follows: MR.PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN: "Who shall come after the king?" A good many years ago before I ever tho -sHt that I should live here, I f«und one morning that the president of the Unlit States had ascertained that the very best man in the country to run ihe United Slates navy lived on the banks of the Wabash river [continued applause], and when I decided to go there myself to live, the only misfortune that I encountered was that in reviewing the eminent success of the administration of this secretary of the navy and considering how perfectly he had mastered the details of navigation I erroneously concluded that the Wabash river must be another name for the lower part of the Mississippi, and when I went to see it, you will understand. of course, I expressed a pang of momentajy surprise to And how great a navigator could grow up alongside so small a river, but now through the kindness of the president and the members of the Board of Trade I am not at all surprised. Although the river may be small, the men are great and competent and adequate to discharge any trust and responsibility which they themselves may be willing to undertake. It is particularly gratifying to me to have this opportunity to become acquainted with so many men who make the town in which my lot Is so happily cast. I owe to your courtesy an opportunity to look Into the faces of

THE BUSINESS MEN OF TERRE HAUTE, and to find there a reflection of the hearty good will which has so soon transformed me from a stranger to a citizen. No cltt zen of the city can afford to be indifferent to the Board of Trade, since everyone must live somewhere, and as we are fortnnate to live here, It Is of the first Importance that we should live pleasantly together and nothing is more essential to this end than a proper knowledge and a proper appreciation of what other men are doing. The only men who ever tried to live alone In a city was Diogenes and he had to live in a tub. Of course we all admit the force of the axiom of modern civilization that one man can do but one thing well and he had better do that one thing with all his might but men are too much alike with all their differences, that one man doing one thing well cannot conceal his secret from another who is trying to do his also well so men may just as well come together In that spirit-of mutual helpfulness which is the foundation of all human society, and consult for the common good. A man may have a good heart and not wear It on his sleeve. A man may stand on his dignity, but be needn't stand on it all the time. There area thousand useful services that we can tender to one another In an association like this, that do not Involve disclosing business secrets to competitors and wnlch promote rather than hinder the honest acquisition of material and Intellectual wealth. "A man may have ha' an honest heart,

The poorlth hourly stare him: A man may tak' a neebor's part, Yet hae na' cash to spare him.

A Board of Trade has a great many functions in promoting the business of the city which are obvious, as have been fully set forth by others. I wish to allude to

ONE OR TAjfO ADVANTAGES

which may arise from such an organlzaizatlon to which attention has not yet been pointedly called. Without any power as a corporate body to make laws, and happily so free from all the entanglements of party politics that all men can feel free to discuss matters of public interest on their merits, the Board of Trade can Influence public opinion very effectively on all great questions of public policy in the Improvement of the city, for this board must be discreetly selfish. We are now

LOOKING OUT FOR TERRE HAUTE. "We want all other towns to be as happy acd prosperous as we are, and to ibat

THE TEKRE HAUTE EXPRESS. FBIDAY MORNING. MARCH 21. 1S84

end we want to be as happy and prosperous aa possible. We leave to legislatures and courts the great questionswhich they most disooss, and deal with all matters which vitally concern this city. Now I am so recently become a citizen that everything concerning th8 city wears an air of novelty andmy impressions of Has freshly photographed on my mind may have a certain value for tbat reason alone. 1 want to call your attention to the fact that the era of great invention in machinery has substantially passed. We now live in a period when to make progress men have to study economy of things. You cannot run a blastfurnace without coal and iron. All business men know perfectly well that success turns upon saving, upon economy. It Is the penny snved now, more than the penny earned consequently whatever looks toward giving our young men and makthem masters of the situation lng they should embrace not only of machinery but of the principle which underlie -machinery, making them masters of chemestrv and phisics and all those sciences which are now applied for the use of life must be useful. That is what the Polytechnic school undertakes for the advancement of young men. Each professor in the Polytechnic school is competent to deal with the new problems which business men are ever finding, and if a man in the prosecution of his business meets a problem In chemistry the Polytechnic la bra to ry should be the place where the question can be answered. 1 thank yon gentlemen for your kind attention, and assure you that at all times it will give us much pleasure to see you at the Polytechnic, and I hope you will make yourselves at home there.

Col. Thompson arose when President Thompson concluded and after a few remarks in regard to the many advantages to be gained at the Rose Polytechnic Institute, and how Mr. Rose labored hard to gain a fortune he enjoyed before death, concluded by saying: "When our young men who are now just beginning life remember that he (Mr. Rose) like them was once poor, they see before them lives like his with that grand result which every man may achieve by cultivating a proper spirit of self respect, build up his own courage by fighting the great .battles of life. This Institution may do much good by developing our resources, cultivating our talent, and making Terre Haute, which she has become, and must become, in a great degree, one of the brightest commercial stars of the state."

OTHER SPEECHES

JUade by President Hervey, Colonel Visli, Mr. Mack, Colonel McLean and Mr. Hulman.

At the close of Colonel Thompson's remarks, President Hervey made a threeminutes'talk. He was in favor of working hard for Terre Haute. The Board of Trade meant a great deal It meant prosperity, abetter city, an Impetus to business. The Board, although not yet declared formally opened, had shown what a benefit it would be. Terre Haute was the best manufacturing city In the west, and to prove it he would call upon Colonel Fish, the man who was bringing a faotory here that would bring fifteen hundred people. Colonel Fish had done a great deal to advance the Interests of Racine. He was the mayor of that thriving city, yet he had come here to cast his lot amongst us.

There were loud calls for Mr. Fish, who, from his place in the audience, undertook to speak, but a clamorous demand was made for him to go to the platform,which he did, receiving great applause.

Col. 6. T. Fish.

Col. Fish said he was not a speech maker, but must say that he was pleased with Terre Haute, and would do all he could for Hs advancement. It is far superior to any city in the west for manufactories.

Hon, Wm. Mack.

There were calls for Mr. Mack, who said: "I would like to get Col. Thompson to introduce me here. I want to say that I always liked lake 'fish,' and the more I see of them the better I like them. Gentlemen, I have not any speech to make. I have not any speech to-day. Thank you." .-.W

Col. W. E. McLean,

Answering the shout of "McLean" that gentleman stood up on his chalrand said: "My friend, Col. Thompson, Is in the habit of saying to my other young friend, whose name I will not give here, but who has been celebrating his thirty-ninth birthday for the past twenty-five years, tbat he pleases an audience twice—once when he begins and also when he quits. I presume I am the youngest man In the room to-day, but I am old enough to have lived in Terre Haute long enough to have seen her grow from a town of 1,800 to a city of 35,000. Thirty-nine years ago I commenced life here as a navigator—as cook on a flat boat. We started down tbe river to New Orleans, but we never got there—we coasted and sold out. I remember when-I was ln'.Texas several years ago tbat I hired a little mustang, an animal that would weigh about two hundred pounds, and as I weighed then about 190 pounds, the mustang hadj ust ten pounds the advantage of me. From Ban Antonio I rode one hundred miles away from the railroads, and telegraph, when I came across a little town half Mexican and half Amerloan. A sign on a building attracted my attention. It was—1'New Wa^gins fore Sail.' I rode up, and found bright, new wagons, with 'Fish Bros., Racine,. Wis.,' printed on them." ..

Mr. H. Hulman.

Mr. H. Hulman was loudly called for. He was In favor of using bone and muscle to bring prosperity to Terre Haute. AS long as he lived here he would do all he could to Increase its prosperity.

Bits of Washington Gossip. The list of private secretaries BO liberally provided for themselves by the senators embraces one extraordinary case. Senator Vance has his son for his private secretary, but by the senator's special request the young man receives no compensation whate/er.

Mrs. Mickelham, in whose behalf Mr. Richelieu Robinson had a sceance and called up the spirit of Jefferson in the house the other day, is a quaint little old lady who is generally not on

fefferson's

ood terms with the remainder of descendants. A while ago they had a bitter controversy in regard to removing Jefferson's bones from Monticello to Washington. The family, except Mrs. Mickleham, wanted them to remain at Monticello Mrs. Mickleham memorialized congress to have them brought to Washington.

The gossips, having nothing else to chew on, are munching still upon Irving. The British Minister didn't call upon him. That has almost broken the hearts of the Anglomaniacs. They weep and lament over it. Meanwhile Irving takeB it with great composure.

The Deadly Hair-Dye.

Washington Letter to Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle. Senator Farley, of California, has returned to Washington, but is tbe shadow of his former self. He is said to be the victim of hair-dye. Brought to the verge of the grave he abandoned its use. His gray hair and beard are in curious contrast to what they weie last session. But for the excessive loss of flesh and the painful effects of a long illness, be would be improved in appearance by allowing nature to have her way. I hope that he will recover his health. Not long ago the most prominent pawnbroker in Baltimore died a horrible death from the effects of hair-dye. His dreadful fate has alarmed not a few elderly persons who had resorted to the same practice which is one of imminent deadly peril.

Dr. Otto Krummel, of Gottingen, who has been investigating the area of oceans, estimates the superficies of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans at 194,787,435 square miles, and the total superficies of all the seas on the globe at 231,915,905, while the total superficies of the continents and islands he puts at 34,354,960 square miles.

FOUGHT FOB HIS FORTUNE.

E^tenitor Williams,'of Maryland. Defeated by His Son in a Lawsuit. Baltimore Special.

In the Circuit court to-day Judge Fisher rendered a decision for the plaintiff in the case of Ernault H. Williams vs. his father, G. Hawkins Williams, ex-president of the state senate. In 1882 young Williams, who had inherited $200,000 from his grandfather, announced his intention of marrying Miss Mamie Hazlett, the pretty daughter of a respectable widow in humble circumstances. The Union was opposed by the young man's father, and in a short time Ernault suddenly declared the marriage off and left for Europe. A few months afterward he suddenly returned, married the young lady, and entered suit to recover $200,000 from his father. It then came out that the elder Williams had induced Ernault to make a deed of trust of all his property to him (his father) in consideration of $20,000, the young man being drunk at the time. Sensational pages from the family history were disclosed at the trial, and the farmer made a desperate fight, claiming that his son was weak-minded. He will take the case to the state court of appeals. §H 5-SSR

Liittle Lore for the Union. New Orleans Southwestern Christian Ad vocate.

The Meridian (Miss.) Mercury is a paper of marked ability and recognized Democratic soundness. Its ability and fidelity to the Democratic party of the south no one. will question. Recently, without the least modification, it expressed itself as follows: "The honest truth is, there is no great love for the United States government among the more respectable and intel ligent classes of southern people. The ruling classes have discussed it, and only liars or fools will admit tbat it is satisfactory or lovable or that they do love it." It may be denied by Bome, but we suspect that among what the Mercury calls the "more respectable and intelligent classes of southern people" nothing is more galling than the fact that they are obliged to live under a government which they fought so hard and did the best they could to destroy. They are as rebellious in spiiit as at the close of the war. .,

Must Have Some Excitement. Brooklyn Eagle. "Are you still a member of the Tern pie Baptist church "Yes," she answered, "but it's very pokey, and I'm getting awfully tired of it." "Tired of it! You surprise me." "Do I? Then you can't imagine what it is. In Mrs. Sprawl's church they are trying the cleigyman for big amy at Mrs. Chizzleton's there's a jolly row among the deacons Mr. Jorkins tells me a big scandal is brewing in their congregation, and unless something exciting happens in our church pretty soon I know I shall have to attend divine worship somewhere else."

About the Cheap "Libraries." George Monroe, Publisher. The public have misleading notions as to the circulation and profit of the cheap "Libraries." I have had to take back a million and a half copies at a time from the news companies. Now the first edition of a book seldom exceeds 7,000 copies. I have, however, put out two new»books a day. There is no profit at all in the duodecimo form. Our story paper shows us the
