THE MAIL

A PAPER FOR THE PF.OPI L*

Because!

THE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL is good medium of communication between Terre Haute business men and the ople who bay their goods— Because, It has the largest circulation any paper published In this city. But not on this acoount alene, but— Because, It goes into the family circle on

Baturdajr evening, and during Saturday night and Sunday Is read thoroughly, advertisements and all, by every member of the family who can read, after which It Is loaned to the neighbors. Becanse, After having been read by the borrowers and buj ers In the city, it is enveloped, stamped and sent to some friend

relative in some other town or city. Because, It is a paper which reaches all classes, high and low, rich and poor. Because, Of its very large circulation among farmer*. Because, It is an especial favorite with the ladles, who do a large part of the buying of household goods, is addition to the

elry and dress goods they wear, and are critical readers of advertisements. Because, Two editions are published,Thursday acd 8a tux day evenings, and all ad* vertisements go both editions for price of one issue. Becanse, Its rates are cheaper, all things considered, than those of any other paper in the city.

THE S*engerfest fund Is short about two hundred dollars of paying expenses.

THE big Ssefigerfest arch will not be taken down until after the Fourth of July.

OUR neighbor towns are making unusual preparations for the celebration of the Fourth.

THE fireworks on the evening of the Fourth will be displayed from the big arch, and will be beautiful to behold.

OUR country cousins must come to town on the Fourth, and witness the biggest celebration that ever occurred in this city.

THE wheat harvest commenced this week in this Wnlity. A season more favorable for tln- orop has not occurred for several years, and the farmer smiles as the mower goes through the field.

THE finance committee have little trouble in raising the necessary funds for the celebration of the Fourth. With few exceptions our citizens are liberal and enthusiastic in pushing the enterPrl8e'

THE preparations for the celebration of the Fourth are in the hands of excellent committees, and the work is going on at a lively rate. Nothing oould be done until the eloee of the Siengerfest. Though the time ia abort, it is enough, because experience in past yeara causes little waste of time or energy.

The Bapttat and Congregational Sunday schools have joined forces, and next Tuesday will make an ^excursion to Groendyke's grove, on the E., T. H. «fc C. R.

THB Fort Wayne and Terre Haute narrow gauge railroad company was organized last Monday, at Fort Wayne, by the election of Edwin Evans, President T. B. Hedekln, vioe president Frank Walke, Treasurer, and William Jonee, Secretary. It is contemplated to complete the road in one year.

THE Council tackled the library question again on Tuesday evening. The vote on the ordinanoe was reconsidered, and a discussion was had. As there was not a full meeting of the oonncil, action was postponed until the next regular meeting. We learn that the Council Is now evenly divided—aix in favor of the tax and aix opposed, with the Mayor ready to give the casting vote against it.

DAVID HOGSHEAD, of Washington, Daviess county, this State, died at bis home, of general debility, en Friday of last week, at the ripe old age of seventyeight years, respected and honored by his neighbors, who testified their esteem by attending in large numbers his funeral on the following afternoon.

THE McKeen Cadets is the title of a new military company' brgatifzed this week. It is composed of young men in the neighborhood of eighteen years. Edward Friend has been elected Captain, and the civil officers are, Xam«e P. Stnnkard, president L. C. Duddleetori, vice president Thomas Grace, secretary W. N. Kramer, financial secretary, and Crawford McKeen, treasurer. The other officers will be selected from those showirg the most profioienoy. The membership roll shows.fifty-tout of our best young men, and the Cadets prom ise to be an interesting feature of oujcity military.

LUNCH fiends have little idea of the quality of the things the generous sa loon keepers sometimes set before them. We don't know how it ia here, but over in Indianapolis the other day a reporter of the Evening News inquired of a oommission merchant: "What sdrt of. cheese' do the free lunch men boy?" "Well," aaid he, "they bny what is called skim milk cheese at from to 4 cents a pound. The cheese Is so poor that skippers can't live In it. It soon sours and gets old and musty with a green verdigris mold, it's a very profitable cheese to the saloon keepers though, as it takes just three glasses of beer to wash down a half inch cube of it."

TREY FEEL AGGRIEVED.

Information has reached ui on several occasions recently that certain business men have felt aggrieved because we have never solicited them personally to advertise In The Mail. We bad thought all these yeara that the invitation to do so was sufficiently clear to all, and are very sorry that any person should have felt slightod. The faot is, we do not personally solicit, or at least urge, anybody. We do advertising—considerable of It—but it comes to us without any special solicitation. Our columns are open to all, and the invitation to business men to make use of them is general. We should like to have every respectable business house in the-oity represented in them, bnt we really cannot afford the time to see each one personally every week. We prefer rather to put in the time tbut it would take, in efforts to make Interesting the reading columns of The Mail—thns extending its circulation. We say now, to every* body, send in your favors and they ahall have onr best attention and be duly appreciated. Do not wait to be urged.

HIGH SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT.

The yearly product of the High school has been garnered this week, and a right smart yield it is—the largest class that has yet been graduated It was too much for one evening's work, and so the Opera House was occupied on Thursday and Friday evenings with the thirteenth annual commencement exercises. The graduating glass—thirty-six in number —oonsists of Alioe Boore, Mary Boore, Ira Calder, Tena Cash, Alice Creager, Llda Conover, Anna Conover, Nicholas H. Dodson, Lottie Demoreet, Josle Eshman, Carrie W. Fuller, Emma Flsbeck, Calla Gilman, Carrie Gould, Maggie Glick, Edward P. Gilford, Edward Gobin. Ella Gilak, Florence Hull, Jennie Hansel, Mary Hendricks, Ida Jsoksen, Lizzie Jean, Jennie Kelley, Lydla Lewis, EmmaMattox, Ella Morgan, Maggie Miller, Lena Priest, Mary Parker, Edward Reeves, Belle 8mitb, Tillle Stockton, Margaret H. Wilson, Eunice Whitebouse, Anna Zlgler.

It was a goodly array, and the teachers have reason to be proud of the class. We couldn't be present at the entire exercises, and so cannot sling pretty compliments, one shot at a time, at each of the thirty-six graduates, and we haven't the oourage—rather, we will hot be so indisoreet, as to say that one did better than another. We are too old for that. We've seen too many newspaper men get into

uhot

water" for hon

estly expressing their opinion. And this year the exercise allotted each graduate was neoessarlly so short that it was hardly a fair test.

Exoept that there were new faces on the stage, and new subjeots on the programme, it was not particularly diflerent from other commencements. There were the thirty-one "sweet girl graduates," with the meagre number of five boys, arranged in semi-circle like so many minstrels, the dignified and sober looking school board, the liigh school teachers, evidently glad chat the year's work was ended, but with a look of oppressive decorum. Prof. Wiley as precise and solemn as though master of ceremonies at a first class funeral, Mrs. Gould wielding her baton, and all in a worry for fear the class will not "sing out" like they did at rehearsal, and generally with aause for the worry, the proud papas, the mothers, sisters, their cousins and their aunts conspicuous in the audience, the odwr of flowers, more beautiful and in greater qaantity this time than ever, the flutter of fains and the hum of conversation on the back seats where they can't bear what is being said upon the stage, and are losing alt the tfigorpas language, at one time breathing lofty aspirations, then heroically attackihg the shams and vices of the times, mingled with calls for broader culture, and anon giving mu6h sage advice. Then theend. Prof. Wiley makes hid fcustdmary speech, so deliberate and fotalble, without waste of words, Dr. Van Valzub, the President oi the school board, awards the diplomas and makes a prettily ^oTded address the class song is sung, and, gathering up their flowers, rolling up their essays tied with a blue ribbon, each graduate goes out to commence the battle of life in paths greatly diverging. These are the cake and preserves. Soon they'll settle down to the oorn bread and bacon realities of life.

MORE MURDER

Yesterday afternoon several men were seated in front of Dan Crowe's saloon on Third straet when a foolish quarrel sprang up, glutting in Albert Evans striking Edward Cooper over the head with aobialr, causing the latter's death shortly after.' Evans is a powerfully built mulatto, formerly mate of the steamer Prairie City, tie is now in jail, Cooper is one ef the three brothers who with thefarfataillbs travel About gypsy fasbldn. They are encamped bq the opposite side of, the jrlver. Copper did not think himself seriously hurt at first, and rode most of the way to camp without assistance. He leaves a wife and seven ohildren in destitute circum stanoes The oldest child is only nine years and th6 ydungest three months old#
