PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

/Note's and Comment.

Yesterday evening wlien too late to add other pages, advertisers poured in their copy to such an extent as to crowd out more than half the reading matter prepared for the outside pages.

Next week wo will add four more pagos, which will enable us to give the usual variety and allow advertisers to make The Mail a sort of Holiday shopper's guide.

The following week an elegant Christmas number of 12 pages will be issued.

The latest news in the V'andalja matter is exciting, but none the less reassuring to the many friends of the road who desire to see it remain in tho control or tho Terre Haute interest, because wo now know that that interest wants tho road and will keop it. The suit brought by tho Cincinnati Hamilton A Dayton people is nothing more or less than a big bluff, the principal object of which is to gain d^lay. For a correct understanding of tho situation it is necessary to know that the gentlemen now In control of that company own hut very little of its stock. They slipped in during tho confusion of tho Ives failure and are seeking to got the property for little or nothing, which is what they would like to do with the Vandalia. In other words, they would play the part of the seacoast wreokers who profit by tho disasters to shipping. The Vandalia, however, has not been wrecked l»y a great deal, and those gontlomon who seek to get possession of tho property for no consideration will find that they have mistaken their gamo. Thoy camo hero the first of tho week with a great flourish of truuipots and gave it out to tho newspapers that they camo with the 11101103' to take up tho Ives note. Ihe truth, no doubt, is that they could not raiso tho amount. At all events they made no offer of it, but instead wanted to tlx a prico of their own and thus complete tho Ives bargain for it. Right licro it Is well to bear in mind that the prico at which Ives bargained for tbe road is not considered oxorbitant, and indeed it Is protty well understood that in other directions there are interests that would havo been glad to take tho

off of Ives' hands. Therefore, if tlio Cincinnati, Hamilton A Dayton people really wantod to ongago in legitiinato railroad interests it would have boon thoir policy to offer to complete the trade by taking up tho notes given Ives. They claim that ho gave thorn as I trustoe for their company but It w*s hold hero that tho legal bargain had no counoction with that company, Ivos not so representing it to be. He said then and says now that lie was acting as trus too for his own syndicate. The same train that brought the United States marshal there to serve notice on Mr. Mc

Keen not to soil tho stock forfeited by the failure to take up the Ivos not© for brought Ives to town with his friend Dr. Rooim, of New York. Ives claimed that he held :w,(HK) of tho 40,000 shares of the C. H. A !., which of course art* hypothecated and that the crowd now in charge of the 11. A* D., are trying to get this stock at little or nothing. The exact object of his mysterious visit to Mr. McKeen is not known, but nothing was accomplished. The hearing in tbe suit of tho C. H. A D. people comes on Dec. 1ES, before Judgetireaham at Indiana polls. He will then decide as to whether th® O. H. A D. havo the right to iuter©re with Mr. McKoou in carrying out the terms of the agreementby which the T. H. A I. stock lert with him as security for the not© for ttWD,500 should revert to him for sale. _____

We are going to have a very active disunion of the protection issue in a local use before this meat peddling ques-

Ion is settled. The council passed an Ordinance fixing a license on meat podMing. This was done because of late a .umber of farmers have actively enraged in the business and were getting 1 big trade. Tbey sold the meat at prices rom four to six cents less per pound than wa* charged in the butcher shops, .'he license acted as a prohibition ui«as*re to a great extent and the customers •ont petition* to tbe council for its repeal. The matter is now in the hands of a pedal committee* There are as many •pints to be made on both, sides of the tuestion as in the discussion of ihe naional import duties and it is probable hat our municipal campaign next pring trill be conducted on a protection s- free trod© l«*ue as will the national mmpaigt) biter in the year.

Some of these days there will be heavy fire loss here and every one will be saying "I told you so." Nothing is better understood among firemen and insurance men than that the first few minutes of a tire are of more danger than twice as much time later. It is because of this that all the appliances and dis cipline of the fire department are directfed toward speed in getting out of the houses and the beginning of operations at the fire. Wo do not know just where the trouble is here, but whenever afire oecurs in the central part of the city there is almost invariably groat confusion in getting tbe department to tho scene of its work. It is said that too many different alarms are turned in, but whatever it is a remedy should be found, else, as we said above, some of these days there will be a disastrous conflagration and all of us will be able to say that it could have been prevented but for the delay in getting water on it.

Colonel Samuel Hamill has laid bim self liable to the suspicion of invading the field of usefulness of the Hon. John K. Lamb by sending greeting and Democratic news to the faithful here from Washington. The day the Senate admitted Mr. Turpie to a seat the Colonel sent a telegram to the Gazette the purport of which was that Indiana Democracy had won a great victory, so great indeed that Senator Sherman had congratulated Mr. Turpie. This latter delusion arose in the Colonel's mind by his misconstruction of an act of gentlemanly courtesy on the part of tho Ohio Senator. In some benighted parts cf the country political opponents yet preserve th© grace of politeness and observe those little formulas of good breeding which cause gentlemen to shake hands when they meet, and this is what Senator Sherman did.

John Snyder, the walking phenomenon of Blackford County, Jnd., is dead at last. His case is one of the most remarkable on record. Some three years ago he was seized with an irresistible desire to walk. Ho could not stop even for meals or in the night time, but took food from a waiter strapped round his neck and carried in front of him and slept for a fow hours sitting upright in a chair, so that he might be ready to start on his endless tramp instantly upon waking. The constitutional restlessness of the American disposition had a melancholy and pathetic climax in poor John Snyder.

The latest fad ainoung th©society girls of eastern cities is to get the shape of of their sweethearts heads. It will probably oome west, and we want to whisper to tho Terr© Haute girls that with the average young man in this city the six© of the head depends very much whether it is measured in the morning or in the evening, as will be perceived by tho diagrams belo\y „,

Hermann, the magician, performed the greatest trick of his life. He was advertised to appear at tho opora houso Thursday and Friday, but did so in such a mysterious in an nor that neither the public nor the opera house management saw anything of him.

Senator Turpie has had his chin heard shaved off since going to Washington, wearing nothing now but a mustache. Judging from the newspaper pictures of him) it has made a decided improvement in his appearance. Wonder he hadn't tried the experiment before.

Jake Sharp, the New York boodler, is to have a nice rest at his 1,500 acre country place near Rome, N. Y. The place where Jacob ought to rest for the remainder of his life is known by the musical name of Sing Sing.

Whatever criticisms hare been upon the President's message, its brevity has drawn commendation from every side. Grover took the advice of the press and boiled it down.

Richard J. Sparks, who ran "all alone by himself," for th© office of county commissioner last year, has brought suit to oust Asa M. Black, claiming that the latter's term expired the first of this month. The case will not be tried until after the holidays, and some very nice legal points will then be brought, out. Thore is a strong array of legal talent in the case. For Mr. 8parks appears I. N. Pierce, Davis A Davis and H. C. Pugh and for Mr. Black Judge C. F. McNntt and T. W. Harper. Without re* gard to personal friendship or party feeling overyone wants the question settled as to the succession of the commissioner for the second district. ThT perploxing dispute has been bobbing up every few years and will continue to do so for time to come unless the courts are called upon to straighten out the tangle. Comparatively it is of but little moment whetbor Mr. Black or Mr. Sparks is entitled to the office whose term period "got wrong" back in the '50s.

An interesting Convention of th© Sunday Schools of Vigooounty will be held in the Congregational church next Monday afternoon and ovening, and on Tuesday morning, afternoon and evening. It will be conducted by Rev. Chauncy N. Pond, of Oberlin, O., one of the leading Sunday school workers ot the United States and secretary of tho American Sunday school union. No one interested in Sunday school work should miss these meetings. ,,v#

The most notablo attraction for the ladios this week has been tbe special sale at Hoberg's Dry Goods Store. Crowds coutinually poured in this establishment until the proprietors were compelled to lock their front doors. Nothing like it was ever seen in Terre Haute bo fore. This firm deserves the compliment, "Lifo and push ahead." A few more houses with such enterprise would be a great help to all business of this city. ________________

The elegant residence of Mr. A. Hers was made inhabitable by fire and water last Monday morning. The fire started from the furnace in the basemont. Insurance with Riddle, Hamilton A: Co., John R.

Mrs. Francis W. Clift, wife of 8. D. Cli ft, and the younger sister of Tho©. E. Lawes, died at her borne last Sunday morning. She had been suffering for many weeks from a cancer of the lung, and as the disease progressed became weaker and weaker. For many days she bad been very low and her death was not unexpected.

There has been a general advance in tbe prices of hay, corn, oats and wheat during the present week.

NAYLOB'S OPERA HOUSE.

On Monday fcveniug Miss Lizzie Evans, a charming favorite bore, will present her new play, "Our Angel." It deals with the customary incidents of Western camp life, and is frill of much of the rapid action which takes the plad| of higher dramatic qualities. Miss Evans is a soubretto who has successfully established herself in public favor by years of patient, conscientious work and hersuccess is honest and desorvod. Tho St. Louis Republican says:

The play is good, bemuse It consists largely of old material which has received tho stamp 0/ approval and lias been reworked Into fresh shape. Miss Evans is tho typical hoyden of the mining camp. She introduces a number of songs, which aw? well received. She Is vivacious, has considerable cleverness, and is altogether a pleasant lady to view across the footlights.

TO t'OMMKNCK OPERATIONS.

The First Salt .Shaft In Kafigs*, ItaJMly to (in Down.

(Hutchinson Saturday Review.} The Hutchinson Salt, Coal and Mining company, known as the Pennsylvania company, are on the ground and are ready to commence operations. They have leased one thousand acres in tiie vicinity of the present well, on which they will sink their shaft.

Tbey have perfected arrangements with the Missouri Pacific road whereby a switch will be run to the place of operation.

The contract has been let for sinking the shaft, and it is expected that work will soon be commenced. They will sink one shaft, which will contain.tbree cages—one for salt, one for coal and one for oil.

Tbe company have opened an offic# in South Hutchinson, where their headquarters will be.

The company has organized with a capital stock of $200,000, and are abundantly able financially to develop tbe find in tbe best possible manner. Their arrangements which tbey now have under way are elaborate and extensive.

There is much to be looked for and expected from this company, from the fact that the individual members are men who havefhad years of experience in the salt fields. They have spent consider* able time in investigating th© discovery here, and are fully satisfied as to the richness and quality.
