TEH AND OBSERVATIONS ON TER8 AROUND TOWN.
MAT-
It is announced that the street car totnpany will build an extension to Col ett Park immediately, leaving the Locust street line at Eighth street, and inning up that street, which will be Opened through to the park. This was .'he one step needed to make Collett Park popular resort, and the company will •Jul itself handsomely repaid for the exlditure thus made. The park is a tutiful place, but only those who can
carriages have been able to appreciate this. Now that the street cars are to run there, it will be within the reach ofjall, and will become very popular. opening of the line will give an addj»')(X)m

*:vmchf by the way, is improving more rapidly than any other part. The number of pretty cottages is increasing so rapidly that one who has not been in tyiat neighborhood for some time would }e astonished. They are occupied, too, by their owners, men who will see that the property is not abused. .Such growth this is of the substantial kind. We may. talk of our "booms," etc., but as "ongassuch liouics, built and occupied by their owners, are going up here and there, they are better than booms.
And that Is the principal disadvantage of a boom, that it runs up the prico of real estate to such an extent that the home builders with modest capital, cannot invest—the very persons, too, who materially assist in building up a city's prosperity. Already the far-sighted men of Indianapolis are beginning to complain of thi« disposition to run real estate values up to fabulous figures. They seo In it a forerunner of the collapse that is sure to follow auy attempt .'of this kind. Fictitious values on real estate puts it beyond the roach of the groat mass of the poople, and make rents
HO
high that new comers will bo frightened away and without the presence of the skilled workman and mechanic, what would the property of any city amount to.
It was thought the provisions of the Inter-State Commerco law might interfere in such a manner as to prevent the Trotting association from securing reduced rates from the different roads centering hero, but all have mado arrangements to give a certain reduction during the meeting. This was the one thing needed to ensure the success of the races, and with good weather there will be immense crowds here. The track is tho host in the State, the list of ontries promises to bo formidable, and owing to the increasing lovo for. fast horses—a foeling which is strengthened by these meetings—tho attendance will be probably the largest of any of tho series.
S. M. Young, jr., tho only successful tlioatrlcal manager yet produced by Torre Hauto, Is homo sponding the sum tier vacation and receiving tho congratu lations of his friends on the pleasing reports that have come from tlmo to time of his prosperity. It requires a great deal of "git up and git" for a young man without any extensivo experience to take hold a company and make it win, as ho did tho "Rod
IiOtter
Company."
He did a big season's business, made a great deal of money, and next season will put a still stronger company on the road.
Thore is still another Terre Haute boy who has found his way Into the theatrical business, of whom no mention has been made. This is Charles F. Whltnker, son of John Whltakor, who Is a member of the orchestra of Doekstadcr's minstrels, New York City. He was at one timeeditor of an amateur paper here, known as "tiabriel's Horn." His tirst aspirations for the stage probably sprang into existence at an entertainment given bv the Torre Haute amateurs to tho vlsUlng members of the Indiana Amateur Tress Association, of which the most striking feature was a fearfully and truly wonderful original farco, "An Editor's Trials," written by Sam Young and the writer of this, in which the former played a very low comedy and the latter a very high tragedy part. (The Indiana Amateur Press Association never met again.)
Kveryhody In Terre Haute who knows anything alwut baso ball. Is Interested in "Cod" Myers," who is now playing with the Washington league club. Said a local base ball euthusiast last night, talking of Myers, "t wouldn't bosutprised to tm him with the gilt-edged •Giants' of New York before the season is over. He is out of his position where he Is now playing (short stop), is dlssatistUxi, and therefore not doing the work of which he is capable. He has never had the good luck to be on a winning team, but if ho should get on the New Yorks (who will probably neod a second baseman before long) he would make the finest second baseman in the oountrv.)mrring none, and one of the hearlest hitters."
Harnett's fatuous painting, "The Old Violin," which produced such furore at the last Cincinnati Industrial Exposition, has been reproduced in a remarkably faithful manner by The F. Tuchfaber Co., of Cincinnati, who present an advertisement and engraving of the picture In another eolotnn. A copy of this picture—a surprising bit of realism can be seen at The Mail office. It la •old by subscription only, and an agent is wanted for this locality.

A school teacher asked her class why we were given eyes. A little girl replied: "To shut 'em up when we go to sleep," but a bright boy answered: "To see the way to S. Loeb's when Wte want a nice summer hat. And the teacher said the boy was right, and added that Loeb's hats for men and boys were of the very latest styles and sold at the most reasonable prices. v'
John Han ley Co., the enterprising awning and tent manufacturers are doing a wonderfully successful business. Their orders come not only for this city and roundabout, but such is their reputation that orders come from long distances. They are just completing an order for window awnings for a large hotel at Owensboro, Kentucky, 'and have a large force at work on a govorment contract for the barracks at Jeffersonville and the goverment building at Louisville.
Destructive cyclones and wind storms may be expected at this season. Be prepared by taking a policy on your property with Riddle, Hamilton Co.

While hore In the North spring is but just opening, while overcoats and wraps are still necessities and the growing vegetation is by no means beyond tho the danger of frost, tho click of tho har vester is already making music in the fields of the sunny South. Here, the oat crop has been in the ground but a few days comparatively, and has but be gun to sprout, while there the harvest is
being
gathered, as the following telegram will show: HOUSTON*, Texas, May 8, 1887.
CitAStrtoN MACHINE Co.—We yesterday started two Champion Steel Harvesters and Binders in oats belonging to Colonel C. A. Ellis, of Sartartia, Fort Bend county. The performance of these machines was perfect In every respect, and all spectators were delighted. The new vibrating deck cleaner, together with the rotary butts rake, does away wlth all clogging and choking, so common in other machines. With the new enclosed bill book, all wrapping of straw or grass around the roller is prevented, and a perfect knot is assured every time*. Colonel Ellis is much pleased with his binders, especially with their manner of raising and lowering.
