The Terre Haute Artificial Ice Company is making and storing ice in large quantities, in anticipation of an unusua'ly shortsupply of natural ice this year. Only few carloads were harvested at Maxinkuckee, and there is no longer any hope of a supply being obtained from the lake, especially as the ice now there is covered with nearly a foot of slush and snow. The Maxinkuckee company has irisiderabie ice left over from a year ago, however, and will have no difficulty in taking care of its trade. As yet there is no intimation of higher prices.

We are to have an athletic club with pugilism as a chief attraction.

Friday." The fact is that the Senator's

respect for the church holiday was just

as reverential as if it had been two days after Ash Wednesday instead of two days before Easter Sunday. A mistake of forty days isn't far out of the way. The Senator joined the Episcopal church here some years ago, at the same time the late Bayless Flanna became a mem ber. A gentleman who was present says the class for confirmation was composed of children with the exception of the two distinguished gentlemen, who had the appearance of end men at a minstrel show, each having a seat at the end of the semi circle of young folks.

An east end butcher who has a large trade among Catholics was the victim of an A. P. A. joke last week. He was told that the report had gone out that he was a member of the A. P. A., and that the Catholics were boycotting his shop. It was not until after ho had printed acard in one of tho daily papers denying membership in the anti-Catholic organiv.ation that he learned that his good Catholic customers were not eating meat as thev did before Lent began.

Tho executive committee of the state association of bituminous coal operators has sent a communication to Presideut Dimkcrly, of tho miners'state organization, in which it is said that, owing to the reduction in tho prico for mining in Ohio, the Indiana operators felt call: upon to say to the Indiana miners that the question of work" or idleness wa-i to be decided by the men* That is, the operators would uot insist upon arerjuoWtlpn lmu»mvio^jkS.tbe« w«rejundejfc,c(n

Con, or several days at., perhaps, fifty cents a ton. The uhio reduction IN twenty cents, and it is ex pec,ted that nothing less would be satisfactory in this slate. No doubt President Dunkerly will call a meeting of the executive coin mil tee of tho miners, and they will meet wi the operators. It" the miii accept a reduced scale for mining, the\* will ask for lower house rent and cheaper prices for mining materials and tools, and the chances are that this request'will lie granted The Ohio reduction is not for any given length of tune, and the expectation is that these new prices for mining, which have been adopted in the Pittsburg district, in Ohio, and Illinois, and probably will be In Indiana, will be permanent.

Dispatches from Washington say that when Dr. Mendenhall went to President Cleveland to protest against crippling the bureau of which he is the chief by the invasion of spoilsmen, the president turned tho matter over Secretary Carlisle, who is an avowed opponent of civil service reform. The Terro Haute friends of Dr Mendenhall »n appreciate the humiliation and annoyance lie in us experience in trying to conduct .scientific work with his pioseut sur roundings.

The section of the statutes ,'No. -07(5) under which the grand jury found an indictment for refiling merchandise, provides that whoever sets up any money, goods, chattels or other things to be rallied for or to be distributed by lot or chance shall be lined not moro than $100 nor less than $10. Seetion 'J078 provides a fine of not more than $500 nor less than $10 tor advertising the raffle. It is not generally known that the Indiana Supieme court has decided that the contests for prizes offered by merchants who display ajar of beans or other articles, whose number the customer is privileged to guess or estimate, are In violation of tue law. A case under section 2078 was carried up from Henry county, and the Supreme court held that the contention of the defense that the person estimating the nit HI l^er

The court held that the thickness of ihe glass being a matter of conjecture, and the lack of uniformity in the size of the beans precluded anything approaching an exact mathematical calculation, but did leave so much to the element of guessing or chance in the contest as to bring it under the penalty of the law.

The Vigo Agricultural society's trotting meeting will probably be held the five days beginning August 13th. It had been hoped to hold it in the week following the Washington Park meeting in Chicago which would be ttie last week in August but that week is now taken by Hartford, and it will not do to conflict with the meeting at that place. Therefore it is likely that our Fair races will be given in the week preceding Washington Park, beginning as said, on Monday, August 13th. There will not, from present indications, be any meeting this year of superior attractions. The three big stakes are now worth nearly 950,000 and with other stakes and purses the total money for the week will be fully 960,000. Mr. Frank McKeen has

HO frequent as to be almost a continuous meeting. This is the church Dr. Coultas went to from here. Munhall in the early seventies was a man of striking presence. He was of powerful physique, black hair and black mustache and big head well set on broad shoulders. He took to the work of an evangelist too naturally to remain in a dentist's parlor and since then has been in groat demand. He had the faculty of uniting all kind of people in away that quickly established friendship and good feeling. One day in Indianapolis when he was helping to erect a tent for Evangelist Inskip, who was "a tent revivalist" a reporter said to

him, "If I wore a profane man I ask you what

the judge overruled the objection and the defense was granted an exception which of course is to be used in the event of the appeal. The defense held that as Judge Taylor had been arbitrarily removed from the case by Beach's affidavit asking for a change of venuo from the Judge he could not act in the matter of appointing special counsel. But, he did it just the same, as he did in tho trial of the Bruce burglars, when by the way, Sam Ha mill now taking-an exception in behalf of Beach took oue in behalf of Bruco. But, as to John E. Lamb, it is different. He was the special counsel to assist the prosecution of the Bruco people when Hamill objected, whereas now ha joins Hamill in taking the exception in behalf of Beach. Judge Taylor notified the lawyers he had received word from Judge Brown, of Indianapolis that he, like Judge McGregor, of Clay county, would not bo able to preside at tho trial. The lawyers are to meet with the Judge next Monday to see if thev can agree upon a Judge to sit in the case.

The city ministers have decided to hold a series of revival meetings this spring. One of the underlying purposes is said to be to create a public sentiment that wWl make it easier to have the laws enforced in this city, the brethren having concluded that that question is a "local option" one in Terre Haute. It was hoped to get Dvvight Moody to take charge of the meeting* but this is made guards, improbable by the condition of his

Francisco, and out to the beautiful grounds of the Sunset City. There was the ever present and ever useless straight-backed guard. Had he been asked ten thousand questions he would have answered all correctly—"I don't know." The policemen sent out to help the fair through the day were equally bright. One was heard telling an intelligent New Yorke., "I don't know the name of 'ary' building I don't even know where toe Administration building is." Think of it! Another, when asked about a mall box, said, "See a guard." Think of that, too. But the people needed neither policemen nor

That was a remarkable statement which appeared in the Gazette Thursday evening, to the efleot that some one who is in close touch with the Senate finance committee that is considering the revenue measures sent a tip here to take 1,000 barrels of whiskey out of bond.

and warm as Indiana's fairest days of May. There was neither wind nor rain, nor dust, nor mud nor was it either cold or hot. It was ideal. Yea, it was a time when the spirit of man may easily catch step with the great spirit of the universe.

THE CROWD.

San Francisco is a gay town, but even she felt the charm and beauty of the day, and turned out by thousands to see the pride of California. Such a crowd as it was. First of all, there were the uniformed men of the day—soldiers and sailors, sturdy old veterans of '49, brave young privates of to-day, officers hurrying about to give commands—all marching down the great thoroughfares of

must surely have been at her best, for a more attractive crovvd could scarcely have assembled anywhere. San Fran cisco's fair women were out in force. The pretty frocks were simply bewildering. Every one would have adorned any fashion plate. Everywhere there was an air of gayefy and pleasure that belongs only to this sunny clime. Tue people did not enter into the pleasures of the day in the hustling Chicatroan's matter-of-fact, business way. Far from it. Every man, woman and child was decked out in a bright, new suit prepared especially for the occasion, and entered into every sport, and amusement of the day with all the eagerness and zest of the truly southern spirit. The remark of the little boy- who sa tnerrv crowds on the» See

You could not look upon the beautiful grounds and buildings set beneath the sunuy skios of California without feeling something of that thrill of pleasure that always comes to the human soul when under the magic of the beautiful and artistic If these great fairs of the world do nothing more for mankind than bring it into touch with their artistic buildings and beautiful surroundings, they will have served a noble end. California's Midwinter Fair certainly presented a pleasing and beautiful exterior when formally opened to the world,

about their section a constant throng of visitors. If this world does not know about Ceylon tea it will be no fault of these natives. It pays to tell the world what you have.

AGRICULTURAL AND HORTICULTURAL. A different scene greeted the visitor in this building. Most of the exhibits were in place on the first floor, and many on the second. The most conspicuous exhibit in place was a miniature Ferris Wheel with cars filled with oranges. The wheel is twenty feet in diameter, and constructed on the same plan as the big wheel itself. It is run by electricity, and as it revolves with its care of golden fruit it makes a pretty sight indeed. The wheel was erected by the Pioneer Land Company of Porterville, Tulare county, Cal., where lands suitable for oitrus fruits may be bought for $150 per acre. The general arrangement and appearance of this big building of the Midwinter Fair is certainly beautiful. The variety and profusion of

the products of this semi-tropical soil carefully arranged and artistically surrounded with green trees and flowering shrubs in all the richness and luxuriance of tropical climes, have transformed its great, barren floor into a bower of beauty.

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BUILDING. The counties of northern California ha^e erected a large and handsome building in which are displayed some of

the most valuable products of all the

°^0| rivals the exhibit at Chicago. Oranges,

everything was as brig especially, are everywhere The model

of the first state capitol built in Benicia, Cal., in 1852, made of the finest of California's oranges, gives a vivid impression of that quaint, old structure, Avhile but a few feet away stands a beautiful model of the new state capitol at Sacramento, artistically constructed of California fruits. These great masses of fruits, so skillfully arranged in these buildings and towers, and every foim of beautiful displays, made the visitor feel that wonderful charm of this "land of sunshine, fruit and flowers."

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BUILDING. This was one of the favored buildings of the day. and well did it deserve every visitor's time, for within its walls were displayed a wonderful variety of fruits, nuts and plants that grow in the counties of southern California. One thing to attract attention was a huge elephant of English walnuts standing on a raised platform in the center of the first floor. The building was decorated with flags and bunting, its walls and stairways were lined with the choicest palms, and everything was decked out in the brightest and gayest fashion iu honor of the day. With its picturesque architecture of the old Spanish missions without, and the choicest products of this "Italy of America" within, the building was a constant attraction the whole day long, even to Californians themselves. These rich products of California soil are a revelation not only to the outside world, but even to those who live in their midst.

THE ALLEGORICAL FOUNTAIN. In front of the Administration building and at the head of the Grand court stauds the Allegorical fountain a piece of sculpture worthy of any visitor's study. The idea of the fountain is to picture the life of California, and so far as a ssulptor can go this is done. Seated upon a towering mass of rocks typical of the California, ranges is the figure of modern California with the guardian bear at her side, and the horn of plenty her feet. Just beneath on the rugged oh Ts are the words: 'ALIFORNIA, LAND OF SUNSHINE, FRU.

AND FLOWERS."

At. the foo{ of the cliff is a group of innt fig tiros around the wine press. One sorted upon the .press and another t^?nds at its side, while a third hold^ invitingly ..a goblet of pure wine. .Oir o^-st^nds a basket filled with laige jincuefs'^r grapes that grow only on fotnl&scii. At the opposite side of idu nJaiiTis a group,of miaers with

the days AM^y^ Jpok at^thesef sturdy old pioneers woMlng away in these typical surroundings of the old mining camp, you ean uot but admire those rough, hardy men who laid the foundation of the state of California. On the other sides of the fountain are figures and statues representing different epochs in the history of the state. The fountain is the work of a San BVanoisco artist, and deserves all the study and at tention it will surely get from visitors at the Fair. These Avorks of art are ob ject lessons of beauty, and teach mankind something of the beauty which is at the heart of the universe.

FIRTH WHEEL.

However, the average California crowd on a holiday does not stop to ponder over the lessons of art. It loves the passing pleasures and amusements of the day, and seeks them with the zest and eagerness which only a California crowd can. For this pleasure loving throng, the big Firth Wheel was an endless attraction, and well did it repay every patron. When at its summit, a most beautiful scene greets the visitors. Off in the distance is Golden Gate with its black, rough hills beyond the stately Prayer Book Cross, that noble gift of George W.Childs to San Francisco the blooming flowers and green clad hills of Golden Gate Park, the mighty Pacific stretching out 385 feet below, while clustered about the foot of the wheel are the pinnacles and domes of the great buildings of the Midwinter Fair. He who imagines that a trip on the Ferris Wheel has shown him all that such things can is sadly mistaken. There is a charm and beauty in this bird's-eye view of the Mid-winter Fair and its surroundings that only California can give. The great wheel makes its two trips in about 10 or 15 minutes, and no other attraction of the Fair holds out to the visitor a more beautiful picture or more enchanting experience.

California's Fair is assured of success. With these rich and varied products of California soil, and the many offerings of other nations and climes all gathered into that beautiful spot of this sunny coast-land, there can be nothingbut »uceessT"The visitor who ventures to cross the continent to see the Midwinter Fair will not be disappointed in it, while it will be a revelation to California herself. The world still inclines to associate California with a gold mine and ita rough surroundings, but nothing could be more misleading as the Fair will clearly show. The charm of this sunny land has been told many times by the masters of story and song, but never has it been portrayed so vividly to this practical 19th century as at California's own great ex position.
