OF LOCAL INTEREST.

Rob Warren, the seventeen year old son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Warren, started on a bicycle trip Monday morning that would "phase" many an older person. At five o'clock that morning he started for

Waterville, Maine, to spend th£ summer with relatives there. Young Warren, who was a member of this year's graduating class of the High School, expr»ts to arrive in Boston July 10th, and in Water•'ville July 25th, making the entire trip on his wheel. The distance from Terre Haute to Waterville by the most direct railroad route is 1,412 miles, and an overland route will doubtless increase this distance several hundred miles. On his route he will ./ visit the following citiesi Indianapolis,

Fort Wayne, Toledo, O., Cleveland, Erie, Pa., Buffalo, N. Y., Rochester, Syracuse, Albany. Springfield, Mass., Worcester, VBoston, Portsmouth, N. H., Portland,

Me., Lewiston, Auburn, Waterville.

Receiver John L. Walsh, of the old electric light company, sold the plant to A. Crawford on Thursday, the consideration being given as $40,000. Mr. Crawford and McKeen & Co. were the heaviest creditors of the company.

Under the charge of Louis Strauss, formerly a reporter on the Daily Express, but now an acting corporal of Co. B., One Hundred and Fifty-ninth Indiana Volunteers, the following enlisted men of this county left on Thursday afternoon for Camp Alger, Virginia, to increase Co. B.'s number of men to 106, in accordance with the recent law to that effect: Charles K. Thompson, Charles L. Kiefner, Conrad B. Wooderson, Thomas L. Stevenson, Claud L. Herbert, Sam L. Farmer, James W. Shaw, Jr., Percy C. Cline, Herbert Augustine, Wm. H. Cline, George McCollum, George W. Morrison, James O'Mara, Harry L. Carpenter, Harry C. Cheek, Earl La wish, Fred B. Mand, Charles Cleming, Raymond Davis. Harold C. Bays, Silas H. Vail, Morgan Preston, James F. Dempsey, Frank C. Wittman, Henry P. Heckleberg, Chauncey P. Moore, Louis E. Strauss, Charles F. Pegg, Claude JdcGahn. They arrived at Camp Alger some time last night, and by this time are no doubt receiving their first taste of army life. The rooms of Attorney R. H. Catlin. where the examinations were made, were crowded during all the time the recruiting officer was here, and many more applications were made than the number of men required. The willingness with which the young men enlisted, makes it certain that in time of actual need, Vigo county could itself furnish two or three regiments for its country. _____

W. E. Frcudenrelch, of this city, and J. E. Hubboll, of Illinois, members of this year's graduating class of the Rose Polytechnic, have beeu given *1.200 positions in the office of the commissioner of patent* at Washington. They went over to Indianapolis a few months ago and took civil service examinations, and passing with high percentages, are thus rewarded.

The fifty-seventh annual commencemi'ut exercises of St. Mary's Institute took place on Wednesday, and attracted a large crowd from this city, the Big Four running special trains to accommodate the visitors. The graduating class this year included two Terre Haute young ladies, Miss Elisabeth Y. Cooper and Miss Mary Cronin.

Myers Bros.' road race is arousing a $?reat deal of interest, and the contest next Tuesday is likely to call together a great -crowd at the fair grounds to witness the finish. There are a great many entries and the Ust which closes to-night at 7:30 promises to be an unusually large one. On account of the tearing down of the Lost Creek bridge, in order to erect anew one, the original course has been changed somewhat. The following will be the route of the run: Starting at Thirteenth street and Maple avenue, east on Maple avenue to Fruit Ridge avenue, north to Ellsworth, west to Lafayette road, south on Idifayette road to the Fort Harrison road, east on the Fort Harrison road to Fruit Ridge avenue, thence south to the the National road and into the fair grounds at the big gate, turning to the right and finishing at the wire in front of the judges* stand. The entries for the race, which are still open at Myers Bros., and Hcenan's cigar store, will positively close this evening at 7:30 o'clock. All riders who contemplate entering most have their names in before that time. Admission to the fair grounds to witness the finish will be free.

W. R. McKeen has had approved by the council a plat of the grounds formerly occupied by Coates college, which he will place on the market for residence purposes. He will grade and gravel* the streets running through the property, put down cement walks, and otherwise place the lots in shape for sale. It is likely to prove the most desirable residence property in the city. There will be seventy lots thrown on the market, with an average, width of forty-one feet, and a depth of 151 feet. Mr. McKeen who had advanced considerable money to Coates college, secured the property by foreclosure of a mortgage he held on it.

Chief Hyland is using his best efforts to have an ordinance enacted that will do away with the street loafers, "growler rushers'" and others of that ilk who make themselves conspicious on the streets of Terre Haute. The ordinance is to be comprehensive enough to reach those indi-, viduals who stand on the street corners, and expectorate tobacco juice oyer the sidewalks to be swept up by the ladies' dresses. The people will be with him in the enforcement of such an ordinance, and there should be no difficulty in securing its enactment by the council.

Poor Joe Finch, who used to be one of the bright and shining lights of Printing House Square, and whose original wit made him always the center of an admiring circle, was this week found insane and committed to the insane ward of the county asylum. He has been in poor health for some time, and recently developed symptoms of insanity. When he became violent his parents decided to have him committed to the asylum, not wishing to have him sent to the insane hospital at Indianapolis, where he would be so far away from them. Finch was a pressman in various printing offices for several years, and was one of the celebrated characters about the square. He had a great many friends in the business, who sympathize with his parents in the blow that has fallen on them.

The Mistake at Tampa:_|| It is charged that when water was plentiful at other Florida ports the troops were massed at Tampa where the government has had to pay two cents a gallon for fresh water. It was cheaper to pay for good water than to have a lot of sick soldiers on hand. It is better to pay water rates for filtered water in Terre Haute than to do without it. Commencing at $5 a year for a six-room house for water is not high for the labor saving and convenience. The Water Work Company is making fair rates for water and extra-low for sprinklers.

Save Money.

The Terre Haute Trust Co. administers estates at fsr less cost than is usual with individual administrators. In fact the expense of administering such trusts by that company is usually less than when a friend, brother or son does it without charge for his own services. Often the interest on the funds accounted for by the Trust Co. and which private administrators are not required to account for will pay the entire expense. That is, the Trust Co., often makes for the estate by the investment of its funds, enough tp pay the entire cost of administration.

Then the Trust Cp. is safe. It has 1200,000 of capital and its stockholders are liable for as much mere. Then why run the risk of the failure of administrators and their bondsmen at extra expense.
