THE large, square frame house, lately known as the Ool. Baird property, and now being enlarged and renovated by Mr. Mancourt, is a venerable mansion, comparatively, having stood since 1835 but it still exhibits few signs of decay. The lot on which it stands, on Eagle street, has belonged to but few owners since it was deeded by the government to the Terre Haute Land Company, which sold it to Demas Deming in 1830 for five dollars. It was purchased by John F. and A. C. King in 1835 for 9100, at which time the old house wrs built, near the "watershed" of Terre Haute. For details concerning this water-shed -the reader is referred to the celebrated Parke street grading debate. The King booses, this and the one directly north on Chestnut street, were for a while all •of Bant Terre Haute, that is all of it east of Sixth stqpst. Another transfer to
McCabe in 1897, and one more 1867 to Colonel Baird, brings the history to the last «%le a few weeks since at a considerable advance on the price paid by Judge Dealing or the Kings, hot if the hundred dollar* paid In 1835 had been pot at interest at eight per cent, and oomponnded, it woakl amount to much more than the land sold for forty-eight ye*"later.

SCHOOL'S BEQUN.
The city Ncbools opened this week with the largest attendance ever before known. To the tired mothers who are glad to get the children where they know that they are safe for a few hoars, there is music in the tones of the school bell, and as the children pass to and from school, with bright, eager faces, we are led to believe that to few boys and girls has bell an unwelcome sound. And what an animated appearance has a throng of children gathered about the school houte. Every temperament and disposition there finds expression. It is human nature unrestrained. Here is a group of boys st some game there, one snatches another's hat, and the two scamper like colts about the yard until the hat is recovered yonder are two pleasant-faced girls in close consultation over some premature love affair at another point a ball is flying from hand to hand: nearly all are talking at once and in the loudest tone of voice. Now the summons to the school room is beard, arid away they go, the boys giving many a clandestine kick at comrades to work off arty superfluous energy which may still linger about them.
!t
And the scene in school is not less interest ng. Our people, the parents of the children, are not as familiar with it as they should be. Who that is in middle life or old age even, does not recall the feelings, the emotions and dreams of the old days in the school room. In a majority of cases the deepest impressions perhaps, were not made by the text of the lessons in geography, arithmetic and grammar. There are sky and clouds pictures seen from the windows of our school room so many years ago, now photographed upon our memories. There were day-dreams of a boys' and girls' paradise, which have never been fulfilled, but which flit across our minds yet with exaggerations of the happy time of youth and its hopes and expectations. The school room is fairly charged with human nature. No one has any business there as a teacher, who has no magnetic sympathy with the subtle moods and impulses of the human heart. There should be much intuition among teachers, for they should competent to interpret the lightning glances of youthful eyes, and the evanescent, flitting shadows and lights upon their faces.
And finally, if the boys and girls do not like to go to school, it' is not, as a rule, their fault. There Is something the matter with the teacher or the system. There are schools from which the children cannot ba detained. There are others to which they can hardly be driven. The difference is not in the children but in the schools. Make the latter what they should be and they will become places of entertainment as well as of instruction instead of places of punishment.

THE balloon ascension from the fair groundajon Wednesday was the prettiest ever witnessed here. The ear contained Prof. Samuel C. Young and the lady aeronaut, Miss Anna Ryan. They reached a height of about one and a half miles, and made a safe landing on the farm of John Royse, four miles south of the city—the trip lasting thirty minutes.
The second ascension yesterday afternoon was conducted by Prof. Williams who was accompanied by Jack Reed, of Ford A Owens, and Fen. B. Dowllng, a high school student. It did not rise so prettily as on Wednesday nor reach so great a height, but traveled a greater distance, going some two miles from Coal Bluff station on the I. A St. L., in Clay county.

OBITUARY.
D. W. WATSON.
Shortly after midnight Tuesday night, D. W. Watson, the well known dealer in gas fixtures and pi am mere' goods, died st his residence, 1305 south Sixth street, after a protracted and painful illness with rheumatism. He had been a sufferer from this disease for twenty years. Of late his sufferings were intense, borne with remarkable fortitude. The deceased was born in Connty Armaugh, Ireland, in 1822. He came to this place from New York twenty-nine years ago, when there was talk of erecting gas works, but as this undertaking was postponed lor a year or two, he returned to New York—not, however, until he had wooed and wedded Miss Eliza Scott. He returned twenty-seven years ago, on the earnest solicitation of Mr. Lucius Ryce and Rev. M. A. Jewett, on the revival of the gas works subject. During all the intervening years he followed steadily bis business and built up a solid reputation as a man of integrity and high character. He will be greatly missed by his many associates and friends.
He had six children, five of whom are still living and grown. Mr. Watson was a member of Terre Haute Lodge No. 19 F. A A. M., and that order will attend the funeral to-morrow afternoon at two o'clock, from his late residence.

White Sewing Machine.
*Oueof the attractions of the Louisville Exposition is the exhibition made by the White Sewing Machine Co., of Cleveland, Ohio. Tneir exhibit is well woith the attention of all lovers of art. They have on exhibition some of the most beautiful Work ever produced on a sewing machine.' Their new machine is very fine and attracts a great deal of attention. Mr. J. S Evans is the dealer in this popular machine on this side of the river, and has a very large and prosperous trade.—Indiana Republican.
Wherever you find an exhibition or exposition or fair you will find the White Sewing Machine being oxhibited, and sparing no pains or money to show the White up in its deserving mauuer, provided proper courtesy is shown the representative of the same by the dfficere of such associations. All that is wanted by the representatives of the White Machine to get them to bring out this world renowned Machine, and thereby help to make up a good show at such expositions or fairs, is that the officers of said asso ciations show an appreciation of the same by proper courtesy and fair and impartial treatment. The White Ma chine has no equal and people are proclaiming this truth by the thousands. We only ask of anyone who is contemplating the purchase of a Machine the same things we ask of a fair association, and that is a fair, impartial and unprejudiced showing, and we know the result of the decision. The White is described partially in the following:
The most quiet ujachine. The handsomest machine. The longest and highest arm. .The lightest running machine. It has m^rit, beauty and popularity. It is a perfect sewer and an easy seller. Combines the good points of all others. It is perfectly simple and simply perfect.
It runs easier and sews faster than others. It is not a "one-idea" machine—decidedly not.
It is the essence of enty-flve years of experience. It is easy to operate, and manage, and keep in oraer.
It has all the conveniences, attachments and improvements. It is faultless in construction both material and workmanship are the best that money can bny.
It is very durable, It is unnvaled in its operation. »,. It is very simple in constructions It sews, sells and satisfies best of all. It is constructed on perfect principles. It is warranted foi five years to do any and all kinds of work.
It incorporates the tried and proven merits of all. It is, an assembly of the advantages of all others.
It has many new features not in any other machine. It has all the good qualities of all other machines.
It has all the merits with none of the defects of others. And we could go on and on to an endless quantity of well deserving eulogies for this Wonderful Maohine, but for the present will say no more. In our next we will tell more of its advantages over other machines. This wonderful piece of mechanism was not on exhibition at the fair this week, but as usual at 304 Main street. Come and see this machine, and while here see the finest and best organ there is made. The Crown Organ is a sweet-toned and good style Instrument. not to be excelled.
