TERRE HAUTE JULY 2, 1892.

GKNERAI, STEVENSON, the Democratic candidate for the vice presidency, was generally considered a very good citizen before bis nomination. Since tbeD, however, tbe opposition press has raked up so much against bim tbat tbe wonder is he is to be found outside of prison wails.

JUDOINO from the number of distin guisbed politicians who are going abroad this year, the attractions of Europe are a stronger drawing card that the excitement of a political campaign in tbe United States. It Is expected tbat most of tbetn will get home in time to vote this fall.

A wholesale liquor dealer of Cincin nati purchased 20,003 barrels of whisky from an Owensboro, Ky., distiller this week, paying therefor $900,000. It is supposed tbat Cincinnati has a sufficient quantity of wet goods on hand to put It through the corning National Prohibi tion convention.

THAT "statesman out of a job," Hon John James Ingalls, ban gone to Europe, and during his absence this country will have a short vacation. A sea voyage is good fur derangement of the liver, and a shaking up which would relieve Mr, Ingalls of his surplus bile would be a good thing.

Tine National Republican committee this week elected Hon. W. J. Campbell, of Chicago, its chairman. Gen. Clarkson could have bad tbe position, but being informed by the presldont that he pre ferred some one else, declined. The new chairman Is said to possess all th# qualities which tbe position requires, and being the choice of the presidential nom inoo the campaign will doubtless be noted for an absence of Quay and Clarkson methods.

ANEW YORK preacher named Dixon, who relies upon his sensationalism for his notoriety, said this of a city official in a recent sern^on: "The city government bids defiance to the moral sentimeutofthe community. Maj'or Grant has just reappointed Koch an excise commissioner. This fellow wan the biggest scoundrel of all tbe board, the one man of all men who deserves to be kiokod into oblivion, He stands indicted for the violation of his oath as commissioner and should be in tLe penitentiary to-day. He camo up to the standard of the Mayor and was reappointed." The parson also saw that his utterance was properly published. Now he is rolling in the luxury of a libel suit. It is to be hoped tbat when the court reaches his case the liev. Dixon will lmvo his reward. As a rule when the pulpit undertakes to discourse upon sublunary nflslra Its utterances are a rash display of ignorance of the subject aud impractical mouthings which carry with them their own condemnation, besides holding their author up to well merited ridicule.

ANOTHER ARCTIC EXPEDITION. An expedition left Brooklyn this week for the North Polo. It goes in search of the Peary North Pole expedition, the members of which have either been frozen to death, or have lost their boats aud are storm bound somewhere under the protection of the Esquimaux. The relief expedition is In charge of several of the most noted scientific gentlemen of tbe country, and is a venture of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences. The steamship Miranda will convey tbeexpedltlon to

St. Johns', New­

foundland, and from there the party will be conveyed north on the Kite, the vessel which performed the name service for the Peary expedition In 18S9.

The searching party, In addition to looking for the lost, will do a little exploring on Its own account. It will go to the Greeuland coast directly after sailing from St. John's and the first landing will be made at GodhavenDlsko. Here the necessary interpreters and dog teams will be secured. It is expected that only a day will be spent there and then the ship will go to Upernivik, the most motherly commercial town of the world, where a temporary halt will be made, after which the expedition will push northward to Melville Bay Park. From there the party will start for Cape York, which it expects to reach about July 23. There, and again at Conical Rock and Wolsten holm Island, fifteen or twenty miles beyond, search will be made for the Peary records, as Lieutenant Peary promised to deposit them la Cairns at these points. If no such records an found and no Information can be obtained from the Esquimaux the party will go through the "north water" to McCormlck^s Bay, and then a systematic search of the coast line will be begun, and a certain amount of inland exploration will be made.

Since tome Irish monks visited Iceland In the ninth century the exploration of the

Arctic

drel#

has been persistently

followed, notwithstanding the dangers and great 1am of Mte which Intariabiy attends the

expedition* set on foot for

that purpose. The intense cold and the difficulties of ice navigation have made the discovery and examination of these

regions a slow and hazardous task, and millions of square miles are still entirely unknown. No one has yet reached the pole though many have died in the attempt, and there are always to be found adventurous individuals who are ready to make the trial again though certain death stares them in the face, With the experiences of the most recent expeditions from this country the reading public is familiar. They have all been dazzling failures which have cost the projectors and the government im mense sums of money which could have been put to better use. Even if the North Pole were discovered to-day, and if it should prove to be surrounded by an open sea, as many suppose, what would be gained by it? Absolutely nothing which would be of any practical value to»|he world at large. It might gratify the man who reached itr and give him a coveted notoriety, but beyond tbat the world would be no better off.

OF SURPASSING MAGNIFICFNCE.

A Stupendous Spectacle Presented with Historical Accuracy To say that children are delighted and instructed, ladies charmed and amused, and all others really amazed and astonished, does not convey a tithe of the feelings created by a visit to Barnum fc Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. Every beholder of its wondrous features are thrilled and filled with as tonishment at their brilliant magnificence. Its immensity is beyond menlion, and its magnitude so great It resembles nothing so much as itself—a perfect world of wonders, ancient scenes, rare and costly exhibits, and tromondous historical displays. Its great popularity and success is owing as much almost to the fact that it is honoraably conducted, honestly presented, truthful, moral and educational, as to the magnificeqpe aad historical worth of its performances. The vast number of Its wonderful features, and rare attractions also area large factor in rendering it so successful, btft taken in its entirety it stands unequalled in the world's history, the one shining example of the truth of the maxim, "survival of tbe fittest." To all its great circus In three rings, elevated stage performances, novel and daring hipprodome races, gallery of mystifying illusions, double menageries, herds of elephants, camels, 400 fine bred horses and ponies, curious, quadrupeds, and other wonders, the show has been enriched by the addition of the most magnificent spectacle the eyes of mortal ever looked upon. Tbe stupendous historical piece, called Columbus and the Discovery of America, is an achievement in spectacular productions almost beyond comprehension. Twelve hundred characters are represented with 300 of the most expert dancers from tbe leading theatres of Europe. The life of Columbus is illustrated from the period beginning with his residence in Portugal to the successful termination of his voyage of discovery, with all the principal events in Spanish history during that time. Tbe Spanish sovereigns, Ferdinand and Isabella, with their brilliant Court, are reproduced, with real tournaments on foot and on horsekack, combats festivals, and triumphal processions. The siege of tbe ancient cities of Baza and Granada are represented, with the battles between the Spaniards and Moors. The life of*the Moorish kings are accural ly shown, with the leasts, revelries, dances, fetes, aud other amusements, in the famed palace of the Alhambra. The dress and weapons of the soldiers, grandees, nobles, warriors and cavaliers, are all historically ccrrect. The scenery costing $75,000, shows the walls, turrets, drawbridges, palaces, gate3, battlements and monuments of tbe old oities of Spain, while the costumes of the dancers, ladies of the court, the nobles, priests, friars and military, are of the most brilliant character, and cost $250,000. Ancient armour, weapons, crossbows, arquebuses, cannon, emblems, triumphal cars, chariots, and other objects cost ^50,000, and tbe whole of tbe magnificent aflair is of surpassing worth, wealth and elegance. It wilt be here on Monday next, the "Glorious Fourth," with the street parade at nine o'clock in the morning.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL.

HOW WE GROW.

STEADY, HEALTHY INCREASE IN AREA AND POPULATION.

How Residence Property Within a Reasonable Distance from Business has Gone Out of Beach, and Wliat Has Been Done to Supply the W»nt,

There is no city in the west which has

bad a

steadier or healthier growth than Terre Haute, nor is there one anywhere in which safer investments in real es-^ tate can be made. The demand for lota for building purposes has been on the increase for several years, and at this time it is impossible to procure a desirable site within a dozen squares of Main street at anything like a reasonable price, that is, at a price which can bring It within the reach of a man of modest means who wishes to own a comfortable home, and at the same time support a family. Within a year, however, a company has'beea organized through whose enterprise good lots at a reasonable price and on easy terms are within tbe reach of all. In March last the Vigo Real Estate Company purchased a tract of land adjoining the city on the north and con venient to the railroad lines which enter the town. It is tbe most desirable piece of ground around the city either for residence or manufacturing purposes, and has been laid out in blocks separated by streets, all of which have been graded. The water works service is convenient and the electric light plant Is at hand. With characteristic enterprise the company has made arrangements with the electric street car line for an extension to their place, and the new plant is under contract to be in operation in sixty days. This includes the construction of a handsome new iron bridge over Otter Creek, and a guarantee to bring Highland Place within twelve minutes of the center of tbe city. When the new addition was laid out 800 lots were put upon the market at tbe uniform price of $185 each. Over half of these have been sold and up to this time twenty-six substantial dwellings have been erected. Three large factories, employing over 600 hands adjoin the place, and the company is in correspondence with a number of others with a view to having them locate here. Among these area furniture factory, a bending works, a hatchet factory and a company for the manufacture of different kinds of wood work. Tbe hatchet factory is to be put in operation by home people, and' is an assured fact. Tbe furniture factory will also come here, and arrangements for the others are progressing favorably. Manufactories locating there have the advantage of being on the railroad where they are exempt from the payment of switching charges. The magnitude of the work which this company has undertaken, and which is being accomplished under its auspices, is understood by very few of tbe people of Terre Haute. It has brought close to the city, by street railroad facilities, the handsomest addition to Terre Haute, in which lots are offered at a price so reasonable that any person of any energy at all can afford to purchase. Its donations aud improvements will reach fully $50,000, or about $1.50 for each man, woman and child in the city. It is arranging for factories which will come here and give employment to over 500 men. Since its organization it has at various times brought here over 5,000 persons of ineand from surrounding towns, who have not only invosted their money in Highland Place, but have purchased real estate in other portions of the town. In addition its enterprise has increased the value of property here at least a million dollars, while it offers cheap lots just outside the corporation line and beyond the rerch of city taxes. Surely an organization of this kind should be encouraged by everybody, because through its efforts property all over the city is being steadily increased iu value. Tbe officers of the compeny extend a cordial invitation to all to call around at their office and go out and see for themselves what is being done on Highland Place.

Bargains for Everybody. We have made arrangements whereby everybody can own their own homes. By paying a smell sum in cash, we can arrange to have the balance paid in monthly install men ts, little more than rent, and build a house to suit you Come and see us.
