THE MAIL

A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

City News.

SUMXBB is lwrt I®"** IT A very quiet Fourth.

FAKS are waving furiously. WHITE dreseta are in full bloom.

L-

THE skating rink has closed for {fie summer. ,t THE rain, it raineth each succeeding afternoon.

Nor one accident occurred in this city, on the Fourth, from the use of fire arms or fire works.

ABOUT three out of every fifteen citizens attended church, and of these three, two are women.

IT is easier to find excuses for not going to church than for the neglect of almost any other duty.

THE city marshal says the people must remove the manure and ash piles frem their back alloys.

A LOCAL weather prophet on Wednesday predicted rain every afternoon for six weeks. He's hit it so far.

THE next of the series of business men's excursions will come in from Pana, over the I. A St. L., on Monday.

Ml Ill I —.

BKFORR you go away this summer, leave an order for The Mail to follow you, aud it will keep you posted as to what is going on at home.

ARK they getting tired of base ball? The managers of the Blues, the Awkwards and of the Park Association have tendered their resignations.

AMONO the many decorations for the Kuightsof Pythias, the most artistic was the arrangemont of Traquir A Wilkes' show window, which attracted marked attention.

THE base ball park association has paid to Mrs. Petri's son flOO for the damage done his finger, which was crushed by the falling of elevated seats, the first Sunday the park was opened.

THE C. A E. I. road Is having a boom of business in the way of tourists tickets. The sales are largely in excess of this time last yoar. It leads the way to dozens and dozens of popular northern resorts.

BY concerted actlou of the banks, trado dollars dropped in value last Monday to 86 cents, aud the poor man who had saved up ten of them to pay his rent found himself just a dollar and a half short

THE Gazette did a good work for the community in uncovering the vile moonlight excursions on the steamer Belle of Fountain. The Captain of that boat has promised that there shall be no repetition of these lustful orgies.

WK direct atteutlon to the card in this Issue of Drs. Haley Dunbar, whocomo here to make this city their home, for the treatment of diseases of the eye. They have shown us very strong testimonials from the press and from persons they have treated.

PHI LIT MOECK, a young man of twen-ty-two years, living on a farm just south of Maxville, committed suicide on the morning of the Fourth, by shooting hlmselt with a gun. He had been sick for two weeks past with malarial fever and was very despondent.

THE Encampment of tho Knights of Pythias this week was not the large gathering that was expected. Only three divisions of Knights joined our Knight*. These came from Indianapolis, Ijafayette and Warsaw. The rain on the afternoon of the the 4th made it neo* essary to postpone, until next day, the prise drill, which was the principal feature. That night Indianapolis and Lafayette division, returned home, leaving only tho Warsaw division to claim the prise. In order to make a contest, the Terre Haute division drilled and was awarded the first prise of $160, the Warsaw dlvison being given the second prise of $100. Our Knight have worked hard for several weeks, and we wish that we could record for them a greater success.

SUMMER TRA VKL.

These hot days and nights torn tbe thought* of our people to the cool northern lakes and resorts, and in this connection we direct attention to the advertisement In another column of the popular Goodrich line of steamers going out from Chicago all over Lake Michigan. The fare is greatly below that on railroads to say nothing of the pleasure and comfort. For instance: To Milwaukee, •with dinner or berth Included, tbe flare is only fSLOO. To Grand Haven and Muskegon, where so many of our people go every summer, the rate, including berth, is only $3.00 from Chicago. When you go north this summer, arrange your route so as to give one of these boats a trial trip.

CHURCH NO TBS.

Bev. W. R. Halstssd will occupy the pulpit of tbe Congregational church tomorrow. —At this season of the year the stomach is very caprtdooa, and wants the very best masts, sneb only as c*n be bad at J. if. Ptun«tl*s, XT north Fourth.

That midsummer sermons are

if

THERE is an offal perfume arising from some of the back alleys.

LET'S have a real, old fashioned Fourth of July celebration next year.

WK8H0 ULD ALL BE THANKFUL BANE OF BUSINESS MEN.

That soda water is so cool. That tbe schools are closed. That the baby isn't teethingf That we don't live in tbe tropics. That Japanese fims are so cheap.

That summer only comes round

and sweet. That we needn't have tbe colic unless we invite it.

That our people are so wise in planting shade trees. That cyclones don't seem to Strike in this neighborhood.

That a man has ss good aright to carry so umbrella to keep him from Deing sun-struck as a woman has. &

That men can have their beads shaved as close as a billiard ball, and don't have to go round all day with their hair done op in tiufoil in order to make a dash in the evening.

IT has been a long time ftince there was a quieter or more peaceful observance of the Fourth of July than that of last Wednesday. There was a gratifying absence of the usual barbaric slam, bang and crash way of testifying the existence of patriotic impulses. For this tbauks are due the Mayor and the Chief of Police. The ringing of the Arabella at sunrise ushered in the day, and the business houses and some private residences were gayly decorated. The trains brought in great crowds of people, and during tbe morning hours Main street was thronged like a circus day waiting for tbe procession. This moved promptly at ten o'clock, and^ was composed of the police force, the Ringgold band, four divisions of Knights of Pythias, of the Uniform Rank, from Lafayette, Warsaw, Indianapolis and Terre Haute, the Terre Haute band, McKeen Cadets, Dick Thompson Zouaves, Hager Veterans and the Fire Department, in the order named, making a vory imposing pageant.

The rain interfered with the exercises at the Fair Grounds, which were to consist of a prize drill by the Knights and a game of base ball. The latter was played to the fifth inning, and the former was postponed until the following day.

There were a number of private picnics, but on account of the excessive heat and the rain, those who stayed at home probably best enjoyed the day.

LUTHER G. HAGER has been selected to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Horace M. Smith, as manager of the Opera House. Brooks A Dickson have been fortuaatein securing a manager so well qualified by experience, good taste, and business sagacity, for the position. Since our earliest recollection, Mr. Hager has been in «.one way or another connected with amusements here. For years he managed Dowling Hall, before the days of the Opera House, and many are the amateur entertainments that had their success mainly through his skillful management, in which he was stage manager, scene paiuter, costumer, prompter and call boy. No doubt his handy paint brush will figure quite often in special scenes for the Opera House stage.

The house is now undergoing complete renovation, with some beneficial changes, including new scenery by Mr. Piggott, who painted the original scenery, which has done good service.

The season will probably open on the 3d of September with Mlnuie Maddern —but, thank goodness, not in "Fogg's Ferry!" The engagements thus far booked indicate abetter class of amusements for next season than we have ever before enjoyed.

The South Bend Tribune has some sensible remarks on the above, which

hTlight variation "wiU apply* tTthis

city, for there are Gus De Smiths in

(every

city and town and they are the

bane of the business men in them. They are dead beats, who, lacking the courage of a burglar, think tbe safest way to steal is to buy a thing and not pay for it. These young men thus prey on the business and working men of a community year after year. They wear good clothes, clean linen, fine boots wad shoes, the latest style hats, smoke the best cigars, all bought on promises to pay and seldom, if ever, paid for. They act on the principle that the world owes them a living without working for it and they proceed to take that living from hard working mechanics and, merchants. When cheek, or fair promises fail with one mechanic or merchant, Dick Swiveller like, they go to another, and so they manage to eke out an existence of surface respectability year after year, to the great detriment of those who trust them. There area number such young men in Terre Haute. They are too lazy to work at manual labor and their gigantic intellects are devoted to beating their way. They look upon our clothing merchants, hatters, tailors and shoemakers as so many drums made to beat. A fair promise, accompanied sometimes by a small installment of money, secures a suit of clothes, a pair of boots, a hat, or other articles of wearing apparel which are never paid for. These dudes walk the streets in good clothes which are paid for out of the hard earned profits of some tailor who is striving hard to make a living for himself and family, aud who would but for these dead beat dudes. Why should this man work hard and have his money go to the support of a well-dressed loafer, while he and his family go poorly dressed. Yet there Is scarcely a business man in this city but can point out one of these young men who has "beat" him at some time or other. It 'tmay have been for a suit of clothes, a hat, cigars, boots, shoe*,gloves, neckties, collars, cufls, jewelry, shaves, hair cutting or the like, but he has been "beat" all the same, and he can tell you what parasites these young men are on the business of our city, and that something ought to be done for protection against tbem. They beat every trade or profession with which they have anything to do. If they are champions of laboring men it is only for the purpose of borrowing money from laboring men or getting something done for nothing. If they assume an interest in church affairs it is only for the purpose of beating some of tbe members. It is not to be wondered at that some of our business men think seriously of advertising these dead beats.

There is no excuse for this state of affairs. These young men are able-bod-ied, have no one but themselves to support, and business men should combine to shake these parties off and make them earn their liuing as all honest, honorable men do. _____

MAKE HOME BEA UTIFUL. The work of the decorator has come to be an art which is so rapidly developing that one can hardly follow the quick succession of improvements. The oldfashioned paper hanging is a thing of the past, and so skilled is the new industry that none but artists can now find employment with any well established house. J. W. Roberts A Co., of this city, are in the lead In this kind of work, and combine the painters' labor with the decorators', and thus are enabled to completely care for the wants of those who are trying to make their homes Attractive. Make your selections, aided by Mr. Roborts'good taste, and be will send out bis paper hangers, real artists in their profession, who will make a wonderful transformation in the dingy walls of your bouse. Tbe reputation of this house has been built up on low prices and good, honest work.

AWNINGS AND COTS. John Hanley, at 26 north Fourth street, has a large force now at work on awnings and cots. Nothing contributes more to comfort during the summer than awnings for windows. Besides their universal nse for stores, they are coming into general use for dwellings and offices. If you want an awning, a tent, a cot or a well-made mattress, give Mr. Hanley a call.
