DTK8 AND OBSERVATIONS ON MAT TERS AROUND TOWN.

At this season of the year, when it is customary to review the work that has »een done in the twelve months past, it gratifying to learn that oar business iterests have prospered materially in bat time. Not that there has been any Unprecedented "boom," but that there .has been a perceptible, healthy growth, 'nor® gratifying than any boom, which aring up for a moment soon booms itself outself out of existence. Our tradesmen report an increase in sales, an inclination to purchase the better grade goods, etc. The number of idle men decreased, with prospects of a still further decrease. The outlook for the ioming year is just a little more flattering. There is something in the air that can almost feel that tells that times ..je going to improve materially. No boom, but a gradual improvement that itself in every branch of industry. Perhaps the knowing ones who iprophecy this are at fault, but they refuse to believe so. We have been hoping

riInanifests

Kor

better times and an awakening, and [that which we have in a small way only kWhets the appetite for more. Let them Lome they will find no more hsarty fwelcome than here in Terre Haute.

Every year, with the coming of the [holidays, there is a flocking hereof Terre ]Haute people, who, with relatives or Wriends here, f«el that the holidays away Ifrom Terre Haute are not to be thought of. This year it seems as if the number was unusually large and a list of them would probably come near making a lolumn in The Mail. No matter how much they may be prospering elsewhere, ir how pleasantly situated, they are always glad to get back to Terre Haute, ,*Jnd with a feeling of pride they declare 'there

no place like it." Larger, richer

[and gayer places may be found in their paths, but when that time in the year comes when all thoughts are turning [homeward, Terre Haute still heads the I list.

Said

a young nmn the other day,

[talking of this: There no place like Terre Haute, after all. We may call other places home, have good positions, I lie pleasantly situated, and all that, but

Terre Haute is the favorite. Why out on 'the road you can hear traveling men talkling about Terre Haute, no place like it.

If a real prosperous boom should strike the place, and there was a chance for the men who wont away from here to better themselves to come back, I'll het that nine out of every ten of them would comn backjrert' work for less money. LThis is partly because It is home, but principally becauso It is Terre Haute*

Tho traveling men of Tern* Haute are preparing a royal reception for the fel-

low-members

of the State association

I when it meets here next week, tho 8th. The programme includes, in a social way, a grand banquet at the National jHouse, and ball at Dow ling Hall Saturday evening, the reception being tenJderotl with the compliments of the wholesale merchants, manufacturers and travelling men of Terre Haute. The gentlemen in charge of the arrangements are using ovory effort, to make tho aiffalr a success, and that it will, be is assured. It is doubtful whether any other city like size in the country wonds out as many coin potent and popular traveling men as Terre Haute. They 4re doing as much as any other class of men in promoting tho prosperity of

Terre Haute, and it is tilting that the [association of which they are members 'should have a royal welcome here.

The natural gas experiment is to be fmade here in Torre Haute, it being the [intention to sink the well at the works Kof tho gas company at the foot of Swan {street. Superintendent Diall says boring will be carried to tho depth of 3,000 feet, if necessary, in soarch of tho product which is revolutionising the various manufacturing interests in the original natural gas region. There is every reason to believe that it can be found here, and vhe gentlemen interested in the project are determined that the 'question shall le solved one wav or the other. Who can tell bnt what Terre

Haute may be the seat of as important a natural gas enterprise as that which is driving the people of Kokoiuo half crazy. Terre Haute can never have too many industries for the good of the people, and it is to be hoped that this one will prove successful.

While the City and Y»mtv have increased in population, musing heavier expenses, the price will remain the same, which will also include uewCitv and Omnty maps, patronise the work and a«wi*t home industry.

The barber shops will close at 6 o'clock this evening. The New Year comes in with the announcement of a cold wave on the way.

Miller Bros., will begin early in the spring the buildings of an immense craker factory at the corner of Fourth and Mulberry streets, Jf.

Havens, Oeddes A Co. have leased the building about to be vacated by Joseph Strong and will convert it Into an immense overall factory.

Emil Bauer, the Fourth street milliner made an assignment yesterday. Mr. Bauer was compelled to do the same thing a couple of years ago.

Messrs. Bernhardt A Bnsching, the Main street jewelers, have presented the German Lutheran Church, on Poplar street, with a handsome regulator clock. The present was made as a Christmas 5

The new choir at the Congregational church will "blow in" to-morrow morning. It is made up of Dan Davis tenor and leader, Mrs. Hoberg soprano, Mrs. J. R. Hager alto, John Aikman basso, and Miss Emily Allen organist.

The young people say the dancing reception of Prof. Duenweg's last Monday evening was the most successful, the most delightful, the most enjoyable of any he has ever given. His receptions are becoming universally popular.

The leading society event of the season was Will Thompson's masquerade party, at the residence of his grandfather, Col. Thompson, on Tuesday evening. The youth and beauty of our city were gathered there, the toilets were of the richest and most picturesque description and the pleasure unbounded.

Mrs. Margaret Campbell, sister of Henry McCabe, was so badly burned last night about half past eight, at her brother's residence on south Third street, that fears

are*entertained

time

she cannot re

cover. The family had retired for the night and she was sitting by the grate when her clothing caught fire.

A desperate woman, well wrapped in a seal skin sacque, flourished a revolver in the face of a man, at the corner of Fifth and Main street, about seven o'clock Wednesday evening and exlaimed: "Marry mo, d—n you, or I'll kill you!" After a few hasty words the wo passed down the street unknown to tho startled lookers on.

That Ohio man, for some cause failed to put up for the Express job printing office and bindery, and it was sold this wcok to our enterprising, next door neighbors, Mo ire A Langen, who will immediately transfer It to their building. In this consolidation they have one of the most complete printing establishments in the west.

The beftt pay Tuitdtence the Oratorio Society has ever had filled the Congregational church on Tuesday evening to hear "The Mossiah," and the society has never done better work. The chorus was particularly well balanced, and under tho baton of Mr. Alder gave forth with each number a clear, precise and effective volume of tone. It has been a long

coming, but at last our people begin to recognize the treasure we have in this enthusiastic band of sweet singers.

Mrs. Eliza McAllister, mother of the wifoof City Marshal Morrison, started last Monday on the Vaudalia, for Dodge City, Kansas. At about five o'clock tho next morning, on the C. A A. road, she went forward to the ladies' dressing room of tljs sleeper, since which time, although the track men of the road have made diligent search, no trace of her can bo iound. She was 80 years of age, but was remarkably vigorous, physically and in mind, and her disappearance can ouly bo accounted for by the surmise that by mistake she stepped out of the car and fell off. Her satchel, bonnet and some packages were left in tho car.

We were informed last evening that during the year 40."» persons had been cared for at St. Anthony's Hospital, and there are now sixty patients there. It will bo a surprise to many to learn that aside from small donations and a comparatively few pay patients there is nothing to support this Institution except 100 from the county treasury and alike sum from the city. The Sisters freely give their services and there is not a salaried person in the house. Such an institution if kept up by tho city would cast from $1",000 to ?20,000 a year. When it is known that here the poorest man in the city can find as good a home and nursing as the richest, what an incentive it shouid be for the most liberal bestowal of contributions for its support.

.1 AMUSEMENT NOTES.

The New year opens with a strong attraction at Naylor opera house. This afternoon and evening Marie Prescott, who was last here as leading lady with Salvini, will appear with the support of a strong dramatic company. This afternoon the beautiful comedy of "Pygmalion and Galatea" will be presented, and to-night the strong, romantic Russian drama of "Czeka." The press speaks in the most enthusiastic terms of Marie Prescott and her company. The sale of seats indicates that she is sure of a cordial greeting here. ,*

Another strong attraction follows on next Wednesday evening, when Janauschek, well known to all our theatergoing people, will make her fareweU appearance here in her great personation of "Meg Merrilles." Speaking of her personation of this character in Chicago, the Inter Ocean says: "Mine Janauschek's fine, keen, intelligence is unimpaired, the bright, lucid mind is as alert as ever, and the exquisite art of half a century'8 development in the best theatrical schools of the world, the intense feeling, the comprehensive grasp of emotions and their true expression, are gifts with her, and in the range of the draqia there is no character better suited to her in these days than that she so effectively, weirdly, tenderly, touchingly played."

And yet another brilliant star comes on Thursday evening, the bright, bewitching, little Minnie Maddern, presenting Mr. Howard P. Taylor's idyl picture, "Caprice." We are told that Miss Maddern, who is a great favorite here, has more dignity, more poise than formerly, without having lost any of the lissome fcharm that has ever been a part of her girlish fascination.

The week following we are to have two big opera companies, McCaull's on Monday evening, the 10th, and on the next evening Conried's opera company will present the "Gypsy Baron." Altogether, Manager Naylor has a very delightful spread for amusement-goers. & ?w 4?

On Thursday evening, the 13th, a party of amateurs now under the instruction of Mr. Robert Guerineau, a veteran actor, will produce at Naylor's opera house anew play written by Chalmers C. Brown, entitled "Margins." Those who have heard it read speak in very high terms of it. It vividly illustrates the results of speculation in Board of Trade margins. The management is in the hands of Frank C. Donaldson and Eugene V. Debs, a guarantee that the plav will be produced in good stvle.

South Hutchinson.

One day this week was placed 011 our table a small notice "to incorporate South Hutchinson as a city of the third class." This is a sample of what pluek, energy and good judgment can do in one year, and that under very trying circumstances, to say the least. Many of our business men who have invested in town property there are very enthusiastic over the prospeets. On the east side of the town are the Gould roads, the Missouri Pacific with fivo other lines in course of construction. This is conclusive argument for a union depot, shops, divisions and round houses, in fact, a "Gould Centre." On the west side are Sjmta Fe, and the Rock Island, with the Chicago Burlington A ?iuincv in course of construction. This is very conclusive argument for a union dspot, shops, round-houses and divisions of these roads. Those who are in a position to know say that the question of the Rock Island shops and round-house is virtually settled, it being the only available and suitable point. Now between these th reo main lines on the west side and the five Gould roads on the east side, pass the seven wagon roads from the various parts of the country all centering on Main street, it is not surprising that our business men should grow just a trifle enthusiastic^

Peter Miller, the harness dealer, 505 Main street, has just received a big stock of Horse Blankets and Lap Robes, bought very cheap and will be sold accordingly. Big stock of Trunks and Valises.

Nice Meats.

When you want something extra nice in fresh beef, lamb, mutton or veal, it will pay yon to call on J. L. Humaston, at 305 north Fourth street, the former Out Miller stand.

SKANDALUS.

I do wish Mr. Kornung or sum of the other preechurs would preech a surmun to the peepel what tauka skandal. And it ain't the wimmen, either, by a long shot, that due all the talkin. A scandal, partly smothered but threatening to break forth fiercely, is reported in one of the churches, and expectation is on tiptoe. What a shame,"

said one good brother to another yesterday, "what a shame that such a thing should get into the newspapers. I never could understand this disgusting curiosity." "Nor I," returned the other.

What's the latest about the matter?" And then these old coons fell to discussing the case and to expressing opinions like a couple of ancient women at a tea party "*--iy won] had at grocery, where to-day can be found
