ABOUT the hottest exercise in the world is roller skating. The rink will Jhave to adjourn to the base ball ground.

Tan first gameof base ball at the park will be played to-morrow afternoon between the Terre Hautes and a picked

THK ground for the new court house was staked off yesterday, under the direction of Architect Hannaford, who Is in the city. $"•?'

THERE is a scarcity of brick and the price is high. Brick can be brought -from Evansvillfl at less cost than they can be bought here.

VERY esthetic looking stalks of rhuibarb are in the market but they suggest -the powdered or syrup variations of this plant rather than the toothsome pie.

THK man who kicked a hat, and the woman who picked up a parcel on the street last Tuesday, remembered afterwards that it was the first day of Aril.

THE 6yster is about to hand in his resignation. His place will be filled by the strawberry, one of which will serve in stead of the oyster at the church festivals.

THB new cemetery grounds palled from the bands of Ray

Jenckes to the

city on Wednesday—the first payment— 14,235,51—one third the purchas® money, being made.

THE saloon keeper keeps pace with the march of improvement, Arrangements were made this week to establish two .saloons convenient to the site of the new wagon works.

SEVERAL of the restaurants have clos«d, the ice cream parlors offer their -sweet allurements, the soda fountains tltz a merry roundelay and the street loafer has oome out of bis hole. If this .does not mean spring, we give it up.

THK vestry of St. Stephen's, on Tuesday, decided to adopt Mr. Courtner's plans for the new rectory, to be put upon the ground south of the ohurch. It will be of brick, to cost about *6,000 and -the plans show a very artistic and handsome huilding.

JOSEPH STRONG has purchased from R. W. Rippetoe the northwest corner lots on Sixth and Ohio streets, and next .season will erect a four or five story building for his coffee and spice mills -and sales rooms. It will be a great improvement to that corner.

THK lovers have taken advantage of the lovely evenings during the past week and hunted up their old trysting places under the trees. Some who were most spooney a year ago, are missed from 'their accustomed haunts and may be found at home rocking the chidle.

"YES," she said to her escort as they glided around the rink, "I do so love roller skating. When we are sailing around this way our souls seem to be floating away toward heaven, and—" At this point both of her soles floated away toward heaven, while the rest of her •mote the earthly floor with a mighty smite.

IT IS much to be regretted that painted faces are becoming so common upon our •streets. Any fine afternoon ope may count an increasing number of apparently respectable women with painted cheeks. It is almost impossible to put the rouge on so that it oannot be detected and the artificial effect thus produced destroys what beauty they may otherwise possess. -4

OUR postmen are groaning over a fresh installment of Warner's Liver Cure advertisements. In the last few months they have received sixty mail sacks of these pamphlets, weighing four tons. AH of these must be carried about the city and delivered by the postman. Warner purchased last month, seventy thousand dollars worth of stamps, a stamp apiece for every liver in the United Stales.

AMUSEMENTS.

To-night,* at the Opera Hons®, Mr. and Mrs. McKee Rankin will produce for the first time here a dramatization of Bret Harte's story of Gabriel Conroy, which ran as a serial through Scribnert Monthly. It is a western playi and the characters are those usually found in such dramas—a brother, a miner, with two sisters the crafty, unscrupulous Mexican villian the reformed gambler the fair, bnt unfortunate young woman, who is loved by the miner, etc. The Indianapolis Times sayB:

The character of Gabriel Conroy,. the sturdy, good-oatnred, but lgnsrant nuper, in one welt salted to Mr. Rankin, and he makes the most of it. His chaiacter, however, I* of no more importance than that of bis sister, Oily Conroy, and Mrs. Raakin acts the part of the wild, rollicking young woman of the West In a very effective and phasing manner. The cempany is a good one. "Nobody's Claim," a sensational melodrama in five acts, by E. A. Locke, author of A Messenger from Jarvis Section, Through Quarts galley, Meda, The Jersey man, etc., will be played here next Wednesday. The play is the best from this talented Writer, and has created a perfect furore in New York, Boston, Philadelphia and Brooklyn. In construction it is similar to M'liss, but said to be much stronger. It gives grand scope to the scenic artists. The company carry their own scenery, asing a special car built by the Penn. R. R. to transport it from place to place.

One of the funniest of plays here early in the season was "A Bunch of Keys." It is coming next week, on Saturday evening, and the lover of uproarious fun should see it Special scenery is carried The hotel interior is remarkably realistic. The play contains considerable music snd affords an excellent opportunity for good singing and dancing, which is fully improved by the very excellent compsny presenting it. ,,

SPRING is upon ns. The housewife goee about with an abstracted air, and husband and children ask no questions. The queen of the kitchen begins to have various aches and pains and hints darkly about going on a visit to her mother Dreadful sounds rend the air, as of something, probably a carpet, being beaten with heavy blows. All the cosy comfort of home seems suddenly to have departed. Lovely woman is transformed into a commonplace drudge. You are besieged with offers to clean the alley and rake off the yard. The ash pile looms up—a ghost of past coal bills. Fires make it uncomfortably warm^ you let them die out, and take the worst cold of the season. The gas bills grow lees and the ice bills start in to make up the deficit. Yoiv lay aside, with pleasure, the well-worn overcoat, only to discover that your clothes are rather too

Bhabby

for the street. The paper hanger whistles on his way. The ^colored whitewasher put on the airs of a plumber. Repairs, carpets, curtains, dresses, bonnets, all oome into demand at once. You put your hand into your pocket and find that, along with the rest of spring, ifc» baft sprung—a,leak. And, until you manage, in Some way, to "put money in tfce purse," you lose all interest in the crocus and the easter flower, the robin and the blue bird, the balmy air and the budding trees. Alas, that man should be BO sordid, but it is a melancholy fact that neither spring nor any other season possesses msny charms to to a fellow with an empty pocket book.

THAT the ill-tempered remarks of the Gazette may not cause The Mail to be misunderstood, we desire to say that in referring last week to the setting apart of three pews In the Episcopal churchone each for Normal, Polytechnic and Commercial College—the act was mentioned as "generous on the part the church." The objectionable feature was in publishing the same in the daily papers, giving the numbers and location of the pews. It is a matter that could have been left to the ushers as is done in other churches. After this publicity we are much mistaken if students from these educational institutions do not prefer to sit id other seats than those designated when visiting that church.

THK Davis Family announce their concert on the evening of the 14th. Our people, remembering the many kindnesses of this singing family, will see that a large audienoe is assembled. One citizen has shown his hand by taking forty tickets. It is the general desire to have this purely a "Davis Family concert," and yielding to this, the family have declined maritp offers of assistance from our ho&e vocalists. It will be as announced "an evening of popular song."

MKHTIOX was made in these columns some weeks since of the contract Moore & Langen had for printing in book form the Journal of Proceedings of the last annual convention of the A. O. U. W. of Illinois, held at Springfield, and that it was the largest tingle job of printing ever taken by a job printing house in this city. The work was completed this week, and now they have a contract to print the same in German.

THB new hardware store of Flnkbiner A Duenweg will be opened next Tuesday. The entire stock is new snd selected with great care. Mr. Flnkbiner has had huge experience in this branch of trade, and aided by Hugo Dnenweg's excellent business qualifications, the new firm Is certain of success.

C, H. TRApUJUB, is banding to hit patrons an slogantiy illustrated pamphlet showing the latest and most fashionable wall decorations, and filled with Interesting and instructive reading. It was printed at Geo. H. Hebbt, and as a sfBdLmea of the printer's art reflects great credit on his taste and skill.

OBITUARY.

MRS. MATILDA TAYLOR.

Died, at the residence of Mr. Isaac Ball, Monday afternoon at 2 oclock, Mrs Matilda Taylor, mother oi Mrs. Ball. Mrs. Taylor was one of the old pioneers of this section. She was born at Fort Knox, near Vincennes, where she lived until nine years of age. Often while there, the early settlers with their little ones were obliged to take hasty shelter within the fort for days at a time, to escape the knife or tomahawk of the hostile Indians, returning timidly to their little homes after the danger bad passed. These flights to the fort were not infrequent in the childhood of Mrs. Taylor.

At the age of nine, her parents removed to Fort Harrison, passing over the site of this city, threading their way along through the tall prairie grass, in narrow Indian trails, the only roads then to be found.

At the age of seventeen Mrs. Taylor married, removing to this city, where she has ever since resided on what is now Third street. There were then only six houses in Terre Haute, so that in her own day she has Been this beautiful city grow up around her.

Mrs. Taylor has lived a quiet, domestic, Christian life, giving her life to others. She was a woman of patientendurance and noble fortitude, and when the end came, at the advanced age of seventy-seven, she .was ready to go. On Wednesday evening of last week, she called tne family toner bedside and word. She
