THE JvlAlI..
A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
Easter Sunday will come early this year—on the first of April.
The new co-operative grocery store was •opened in the savings bank building on Monday.
The vote on appropriating f100,000 to the building of the Southwestern road will be cast next Tuesday.
The salvation army now located in
4'Junk
row" west of the court house, is
nightly pounding away at sinners and the bass drum. _/. The city offices are not to be moved to the new court house after all. No convincing reason why they should be had been set forth.
It is now settled that the new police ordinance will be passed at the council meeting Tuesday evening—seven connoilmen being known to favor it.
The first of April is now set for the completion of the new court house, and the county officers have been notified to be in readiness to move in at that time.
A Lost Creek farmer after watching the strange proceeding of raising a brick block of business rooms remarked that it was the
same
as raising mules—with
jacks. The new insane hospital at Logansport is nearly ready for use, and then the unfortunates now crowded into our -county poorhouse will be transfered there.
Tho death is announced of Mrs. Elizabeth Yeakle, the estimable wife of N. B. Yearkle the painter, which occured yesterday morning at her home on south Fourth street.
The improvement of Main street buildings Is spreading like an epidemic. D. W. Minshall has fallen in line and will remodel the building occupied by W. H. Paige and George Kern.
The Edward Kandall Shoe company, tho new manufacturing company in Printing House square, not pleased with tho patronage received from our home retail dealers, will open a retail shoe house at 041 Main street, next week.
Tho Lenten season began last Wednesday and for forty days society retires for rest, prayers and preparation for Easter toilets. Tho fashion of dressing in sack cloth and strewing ashes over the curling tresses of fair socioty belles has long wince fallen iuto disuse.
A couple of gentlemen in this city each received a present of a box of oranges from friends in California. They paid somothing over 10 express chaiges on each box. It is needless to say that they did not find the oranges so awfully sweet when told that the same fruit could be bought here in the regular way at from $8 to ft a box.
Thomas W. Vineyard, formerly of this city and for many years a conductor on the Vandalia raod, died last Monday at Streator, 111*., at the ago of 58 years after a short illness of hemorrhage of the lungs. Ho leaves a wife and two daughters. One of the daughters is the wife of our former townsman H. S. Jones, now an alderman of Streator, Ills.
The week has brought the final decision that two new industries are to be brought here, a canning factory and a pretzel factory—we suppose it is called a "factory." Nothing is more encouraging than these additions to the elty's industries, because they in turn bring others. The pretael factory, for instance, will make a domand for another brewery.
The police grows row apace. The factions are now at war to prevent this or that man getting a place under the new order of things which it is expected will be brought about by the council on Tuesday night. The thing needed now is a dose of discipline to be followed by fiequent applications of sedatives—not to cause •"sleep" but to quiet the nerves of the policemen which are unstring owing to the fear of decapitation.
There has been a good deal of chagrin among public spirited cltirens because we have failed to find natural gas here but there should be a "heap" of consolation in the fact that in no city, not even at Pittsburg where multifarious industries were established because of the cheapness of steam making coal, can this •ooal be furnished as cheaply as here at "Terre Haute. It is so cheap that a barrel of flour is made in our mills at less coat for power than by famed Minneapolis water power. Still we would like to have gas. ___________
Another of the pioneer residents of Terra Haute passed away last Wednesday evening, in the death of Mrs. Mary Ann ftankin, loved and respected by all who knew her. She was born in New York, in 1812, and came here with her father, Caleb Crawford, when five years -of age, and has ever since made this her home. She was married in 1896 to
David W. Rankin, who survives her at the advanced ape of 77 years. Three children also survive, Sarah Morton C. slid Oscar, tike latter now residing in Colorado. Her oaly sister, Mrs, Henry Fairbanks is BOW In Florida. The body will be laid in Woddlatm this afternoon.

AMUSEMENTS.
Gormcns* Minstrels played to an audience filling the opera house last night night and gave a delightful performance, The main feature of this company is the newness and novelty of the acts introduced, and the apparent interest which each performer takes in the work of the others—all seeming to unite in making the entertainment the most complete. No dead wood in the shape of old fossils travelling on their past reputations, is to be found in this organization, and the management has been remarkably successful in doing away with all the worn out business. Among the new features last night was Ad Ryman's stump speech, a real intellectual treat, and of itself worth the price of admission. To night the closing performance will te given, and Mr. Will Katzenbach, of the I. & St. L. ticket office, will sing in the first part "Her Own Boy, Jack."
The original Sparks company will appear next Wednesday evening in Chas. H. Hoyt's funny piece, "A Bunch of Keys," which still has a large hold on public favor. Of its presentation in Boston, the Globe says
Marietta Nash, as Teddy Keys, the wild rosebud of a thorny family, made a hit. She was repeatedly encored ".fter her songs, and her impersonation of fne drummer, St. Lawrence Jenkins, was, of course, one of the features of the programme, while her versatile supporter, Jas. B. Mackie, as Jonas Grimes, fairly convuUed the house. Like Katlsha, he rather improves with age, and one glimpse of his ideal form ascending the hotel stairs is well worth the price of admission. George Laurl played the legal character of ed al dg meat. He made his hearers laugh heartily.
iaggs, and showed about as much
knowledge of law as he did of hotel manage-
however, and he was there solely for that purpose. Ada BothnerasRose is well adapted for the part, and the same thing may be said of Marie Bell, the third and last member of the bunch. Altogether "A Bunch of Keys" jingled merrily enough, and the piece Is likely to be, as heretofore, an excellent drawing attraction.
Roland Reed will appear next Saturday evening in the comedy of "The Woman Hater."
The play selected for Booth and Barret, who come here on the 26th of April, is "Othello."
The Mail' gives cordial endorsement to the following from last night's Gazette: "YQU never hear any complaint about tho Torre Haute postoffice. Very quickly after he assumed the office, Postmaster Regan organized his force, which included of green hands, and in an incredibly short time the few irregularities unadvoidable at the start were overcome and now, with one accord, the people agree that it is a splendidly run office. There is a system in every department and courtesy to the publio has always been conspicuous.
A. Herz has purchased the hotel at Lake Maxinkuckee, which has been run by the Ohmers, and will greatly improve it in readiness for the coming season. The building, which now stands with gable end to the lake, will be turned so as to front the lake. Double corridors or porches will be erected on the front and sides and the roof raised.
