OF LOCAL INTEREST.

There is going to be considerable expensive street improvement done here this yenr, if the property owners on several of the prinipal streets have their way about it. On south Fourth street, from Poplar to Washington avenue, they have petitioned to have the street improved with asphalt, with cement walks. With the work on Ohio street and Fifth street from Cherry to the Big Four, Seventh street from the Vandalia to the Big Four, all prastically contracted for, employment will be given to a large number of men the coming summer. All this work is very expensive, and will cost the city a large amount of money for street intersections.

Under the auspices of the Terre Haute Musical club Miss Mary Wood Chase gave a piano recital at the First Cpngregational church last night that attracted a large audience. It was pronounced one of the most enjoyable programmes ever rendered before a Terre Haute audience.

Cuba will be free of the Young Men's Thompson club of this city can have their way. In a debate at the court house on this subject Thursday night, the committee decided that those who tookthe affirmative in the debate, O. L. Brown and Grant Hosson, had the best of the argument. Those who took the negative were Walter Maud, Win. Miller and John Sudbrink.

The heavy and almost incessant rains of the past week or two have caused the Wabash to assume formidable proport ions. The water is all over the bottoms, with over twenty feet iu the channel, and it is said that the new levee north of the city is likely to be broken, causing groat damage to the adjacent farming lands.

A. M. Higgins, assignee of the Terre Haute Carriage and Buggy Co., made his first semi-annual report in the circuit court this week and made a most favorable showing. It. shows that while passing through the worst season of the year for a concern of this kind the establishment has in on than held its own. This favorable showing in a dull season strengthens the hope that the careful manner in which the business is being conducted by Mr. Iliggins will enable the company to come out of its trouble with slight losses to the parties concerned. If this to-be-hoped for condition is attained it will be due to the efforts of the energetic assignee.

Charles S. Talbott/a well-known painter of this city, died at his home on south Third street Wednesday morning. I le was 4S» years of age and leaves a wife and one daughter, Mrs. Rufus Simpson, of thiscity.

M. \V. Dyer, aNew York capitalist, has been in the eitv this week looking over the ground with the idea of building a theatre for Terre Haute.

Porch climbers seem to have a weakness for Terre Haute. Three were recently Kent to the penitentiary from here for go inc through G. A. Schaal's residence on north Sixth street, and last night other memlmrs of the profession went through tin upstairs rooms at A. Hens's residence of south Sixth street, while the family was at tea. Miss 11 era discovered the resuits of the visit a few moments after it had occurred, and weut across the street to notify the family of A. Arnold.

jumped off the porch roof, and ran away. H. C. Pugh saw the fellow jump and run, but did not realize what it meant. The work is thought to have been done by foreign talent. A gold watch and a gold pen were all the booty secured at the Herz residence. _____

Nellie and Robert Parker, aged respectively fifteen and twelve years, were caught by the Knickerbocker on the Big Four trestle just west of the bridge last Sunday afternoon and instantly killed, their bodies being horribly mangled. They could have saved their lives by jumping into the comparatively shallow water below, but lost their presence of miud and were unable to move from their perilous position. Their mother, Mrs. Josephine Parker, a widow, keeps a boarding house near the brick factory across the river, but the children have been living with Thomas Kelley, a well known employe of the tool works, and attending the high school.

The report comes from Chicago, and is printed in the morning Chicago papers, that the C. & E. I. and Big Four people have come to terms on the proposed sale of the former to the latter corporation. Definite announcement of the transfer will not be made until minor details are settled.

A railroad horror, the full extent of which will never be known until the high waters subside, occurred at Decker's station on the E. & T. H., a few miles below Vincennes on Wednesday morning. The south bound fast train which left here shortly after 12 o'clock, ran into a washout and the engine, baggage car, smoking car and ladies' car went down into the water, which was^unning like a mill race through a crevasse in the embankment over two hundred feet wide. Thus far five lives are known to have been lost, George Sears, conductor, of this city, John Boleman, fireman, of Evansville, Herbert Allen, of Evansville, who was on his way home from Indianapolis, where he was a senate doorkeeper (luring the legislature W. F. Lang, a traveling man, of Fort Wayne, and Dr. Eifting, of Chicago. The cars have been floated from the scene of the wreck, and the railroad company has been able to do nothing towards ascertaining the full extent of the loss of life on account of the high waters. Divers have been engaged, and will go down into the wrecked cars to ascertain if any others are there. Sears, the conductor, who lived on nftrth Twelfth street, was a very popular member of the conductors' association and left life insurance for his wife and child. The scene of the wreck is said to be a terrible one, and on account of the telegraph wires going down with the train it has been almost impossible to secure accurate details of the affair. The E, & T. H. is running its regular trains to Evansville, going on its own track to Vincennes, thence on the B. & O. S. W. to Washington, and from there by the E. & I. to Evansville. This line is but a mile longer than the regular liue to Evansville.

The Statistic Fiend.

The fad for collecting ridiculous statistics skeins to be growing. The statistic fiend has discovered how much time a mau wastes in his life crawling under the dressing table in search of a lost collar stud. «nd he can tell us exactly how many years \vv waste for the purpose of eating then, again, how many tons of biead, meat or potatoes we may have eaten in these wasted years.

Now. a Scotchman, has after several weeks of laborious calculation, discovered that one ton and some odd pounds is worn off the boots of the London public, every day. This material, if restored to its proper condition, would be sufficient to form a leather strap an inch wide and ten miles long, and, with one year's accumu 1 ition, won 11 reach from Laudon to New York.

Napoleon Learn# His Business. A few days after the thirteenth Vcn demairo I happened to be at the office of the general staff in the Hue Neuve ties Capucincs, when General Bonaparte, who was lodging in the house, came ijfo. I can still seo his little hat, surmounted by a chance plume badly fastened on, his tri color sash more than carelessly tied, his coat cut anyhow, and a sword which, hi truth, did not seem the sort of weapon to make his fortune. Flinging his hat on a large table in the middle of the rorr.u. went up to an old general named a man with a wonderful known tail and the author of a very goo.manual. He made him take a s., him at the table, and began him, pen in hand, about a host, i... connected with the service and disci .lin. Somo of his questions showed sin

pleto ignorance of the most ordinary thin, that several of my comrades smiled. I wua myself struck by the number of his ques tions, their order and their rapidity. But what struck mo still more was thex spectacle of a cor'inander in chief perfectly indifferent about showing his subordinates how completely ignorant he was of various points of the business which the junior ol them was supposed to know perfectly, and this raised him a hundred cubits in my eyes.-*-" Memoirs of Baron Thiebault."

A Criticism on Coleridge.

My opinion as to the Lecturer is that He possesses a great reach of mind That, He is a wild Enthusiast respecting the objects of his Elogium That Ho is sometimes very eloquent, sometimes paradoxical, someti'nes nbsuird. His voice has something ii it v,i"ularly plaintive and interesting. His i-vrson is short, Thick, his countenance not inspirited with any Animation. He spoke without any Assistance from a manuscript, and Therefore said several Things suddenly, struck off from the Anvil, some of which were entitled to high Applause and others Incurred mental disapprobation. He too often Interwovo Himself into the Texture of his Lecture. I formed an Acquaintance with Him: that is, I geuemlly spoke to Him at the End of the Lecture—with which He appeared much pleased. He was in some respect, I told Him one day, like Abelard. —Jerningham Letters, 1780-1843.

THE PICTURE.

A little lady, a very young knight— Just a girl and a boy in each other's sight— Oh, their smiling faces were clear and bright. Their velvets and satins with gems bedight! Gold and laces and pearls had she, And he was saporb as a lad could be. Their cheeks wero rosy,their hearts were light, As they danced them a measure on Christmas night. 'Twas, "Ah, my lady!" and "Yea, my lord!" And he touched as lightly his jeweled sword As if it were a flower, yet he knew, with pride, The trick of the weapon that decked his side. And she—why, the very sweep of her gown Told how in valor and grand renown Prom sire to son, through court and crown, The name she bore had been handed down. And what wbk her name? And who was the boy— The two who danced in their stately joy? I do not know, and I hardly care. Their story is neither horo nor there, For girls und boys, young, merry and fair, Gladden our firesides everywhere. They thrive and flourish today as then— The little ladies, the little men. And, grand or humble, their hearts are light When they tread them a measure on Christmas night. —Mary Mapes Dodge in St. Nicholas.

FOR THE

THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS of the City of Terre Haute were never as near perfection as now. There is just one thing needed in each school to increase its merits and add to

the opportunities of the teachers and pupils. That is a good library. Last year several entertainments were given by certain schools, and with the proceeds books were purchased. It was found that these entertainments interfered with the school work, and at the recommendation of the trustees they were discontinued. When the new schools were opened recently, the trustees gave to each $50 for Library purposes.

Proposes to go further than this. It has been ascertained that a good School Library can be bought for $100, a very satisfactory one for $50, and one sufficient for many of the needs of the school for $25.

THE MAIL proposes to give THREE Libraries, costing $100, $50 and $25 each, to the Public Schools in the

City of Terre Haute.

THE MANNER OF GIVING THESE LIBRARIES WILL BE AS FOLlows: Each Saturday, beginning with the issue of March 20th, The Mail will print a coupon to be filled out and voted for a certain school. The contest will end with the issue of The Mail of September 4t.h, 1897, the

Saturday before the fall term of the public schools opens.

TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN TERRE HAUTE RECEIVING THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES The Mail

gives a Library of Books, to be selected as the successful school may decide—a library to cost $100.

TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN TERRE HAUTE RECEIVING THE SECOND HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES The Mail will give a Library costing $50.

TO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN TERRE HAUTE RECEIVING THE THIRD HIGHEST NUMBER OF VOTES

The Mail wjll give a Library costing $25.

Hints for Wide-Awake Boys and Girls.

$10 GOLD PIECE.

In addition to these substantial prizes for the schools The Mail also offers the following inducements to every person interested in the award of these Libraries: To the teacher receiving the highest number of vote* in the City Library Contest, The Mail will give a Webster's International Dictionary, the latest, revised edition, with Complete Reference Index. To the boy who is credited with the highest number of coupons in the Library Contest The Mail will give a

To the girl credited with the highest number of coupons in the Library Contest, The Mail will give a

The first coupon will be printed in The Mail on Saturdny. March 20th, and each week thereafter.

"The Great K. and A. Train Robbery."

In addition to its Library Contest The Mail will, on March 20th, begin the publication of an intensely interesting seriiil story, entitled "The Great K. & A. Train Robbery," by Paul Leicester Ford. It is a sensational and^fcamatic story, that captures the imagination at the outset and keeps the interest at fever heat. It is a copyrighted st0:7, and can be read in no other Terre Haute paper but The Mail. For more than a quarter of a century The Saturday Evening Mail has been looked upon as the leading "home" paper of Western Indiana and Eastern Illinois. It is clean and wholesome, can be read with safety by every member of the home circle, and is altogether just such a paper as should be in every family circle in this city^and the surrounding country. The Mail believes in practicing what it preaches about the nse of printers' ink, and takes this opportunity of advertising its own wares. It has something good to sell at a reasonable price, and every purchaser gets more than the worth of bis money. If you want a weekly visitor at your home that will always be welcome, that will have something new and entertaining to tell yon every visit, leave your name at The Mail office, 30-22 South Fifth street, and have it delivered by mail every Saturday afternoop. It will cost yon but

$2.00 a Year, Less Than 4c a Week.

Or, give your name to one of the enterprising little fellows who are in partnership with The Mail, and will deliver it at your home every Saturday afternoon for 5 cents a week. The Mail baa always been a good paper. It is now just a little better than ever before, and expects to get better with the good times that are coming.
