UTTERLY USELESS.

Threo anonymous communications within one day call for another statement from the NEWS that it is utterly useless for contributors to send in articles for publication in the People's Column unless the name of the writer is given The name will be withheld if desired, but as an evidence of good faith the NEWS must know the contributor's name before the article will receive any consideration. The NEWS invites correspondence but positively refuses to publish any unsigned communication. It is also necessary to remind contributors that articles written on both sides of the paper will receive the same fate as the anonymous composition.

NOT this eve, somother eve.—Jan. T. Johnston. IT is said that Mrs. Langtry and Mrs. Potter will both ''star" in England this winter. Mrs. Carter and Mrs. Terry will remain in the United States.

11 A luiiftoN planted a chest­

nut tree yesterday on\he grounds of Mr. Wanamaker. The humorous column of the newspapers will harvest the crop.

COMB now, Mr. Levi Dickerson, and explain. Why did you spend $75 of the county's money on a junket to Pittsburg and refuse to give the tax payers a free ferry? 1\* their little game of "draw" the commissioners simply lowered the "ante." The farmers will still have to "put up" if they want to "come in," but Mr, («osnell is bound to '"rake in the pot."

THE ferry charges are not satisfactory. Mr. Dickerson and Mr. Henderson lack "sand." They were afraid of offending some one if the ferry were made free, and concluded to Straddle the situation by a compromise order.

IF ex-Congimsmau .Johnson did not want to tell the NKWS' reporter "what he knew" he could have afforded him quite a lengthy report by telling him what he didn't know. It is said then1 area great many things about, which Mr. Johnson has no knowledge whatever.

WHEN* a reporter catches a public man he should secure his "interview" then ami there ami not wait until he gets "'into the hands of his friends." The next time his Honor "comes down" he will be met at the train by the reporter. By the way, what is the date of your next visit, Mr. Johnson?

TALK about the wretched administration of city ft Hairs, what's the matter with the management of county affairs? Recklessness prevails in commissioners' court to an alarming extent. A $1.25 street .taborer would have hail belter judgment than to have put in a fiV(XX) draw at the bridge when a $UXX) wooden one would have answered all the purposes. And he would have seen the necessity of a free ferry.

BOCLASGEB'S luck seems about to turn. Yesterday he was made a grandfather for the first time and the government has decided to permit him again to be a candidate for something or other. A few days ago it was announced officially that he was not eligible for any office and previous to thac he was sentenced to le confined "in a fortified place." We are apt to think there area good many ins and outs and things that are hard to understand in American politics but they are as easy as the alphabet compared to the calculus and Greek of the political situation in France.

THE injunction not to put new wine into old bottles or a new patch into an old garment has been totally disregarded by our county commissioners. An iron draw in an old wooden bridge, a $6,000 patch on a $00 garment is worse than disobeying the scriptures, it is disregarding the interests of the tax payers. Such an example of good management is only equalled by that of the old lady who made one pair of stockings last her twenty yeans by knitting new feet every winter esd new legs every other winter. This y^r we will build anew "draw" to our bridge and next year we can build a «n nnr "/Iron' SstH*

new bridge to our "draw, works? ONE day's tally at the Macksville trestle work showed that the receipts at the ferry from persons and teams coming from that direction would amount to $71.50 per diem. This would be. further increased by those coming down the river road. Figuring on the receipts at $75.00 a day, which is below rather than above, and making the liberal estimate of $10 per day for the running expenses of the ferry, leaves $65 clear profit for each day. Thirty days' ferriage would amount to almost $2,000. Pretty good for one month's earnings. We congratulate you, Mr. (iosnell, you have a fat job. Do you have to divide? Will you invest in oil wells or go into polities?

Trie public are decidedly premature in congratulating themselves that we are to have a $250 liquor license. The council were goaded by the newspapers into making some show of business reform. To levy a saloon license is one way out of the woods. The law on this' question is plain. There was no necessity for postponing this matter two weeks. But there are some advantages in this postponement. There is a constituency to be heard

A cotincilman is the ser­

vant of his ward. Two weeks is a long time. A great many bargains may be made and unmade in two weeks. When we see how each member votes on this question at the next meeting we will know just what he heard from his constituency!-

THE dynamite explosion at Antwerp yesterday was one of the most, appalling atastrophes ever known. ,-Three hundred persons killed, one thousand wounded, eighty thousand, barrels of burning earning havoc and destruction great warehouses and long

lines of shipping, squill ions of money going up in Hamcs and smoke, present a chapter of horrors rarely equalled. It is a question whether the invention of dynamite was a blessing or a curse, whether its services in mechanics are not more than counterbalanced by its continual menace to human life. It is the most dangerous and deadlv substance known and like a foe in ambush is ever icady to spring upon its helpless victim.

THE programme of the Terre Haute Literary Club for the coming season is unusually rich, varied and entertaining. The papers embrace a wide variety of topics of a practical and educational nature and the writers include the best literary and business talent of the city. There area number of persons outside of the club who would consider it an especial pleasure to hear these papers and the discussion which follows. A city catt not have too many of such societies for, in the hnrrv and multiplicity of business cares, men and women are apt to neglect literary culture unless stimulated by the necessity of preparing themselves to meet the requirements of them* clubs.

One should be very careful about eatr mg sea products during the warm months," said Dr. Stearns, of the Smithsonian to a Star reporter.

He is good to eat in the •R' months because they are the cooler and the cold months. But we may have a hot September and then the 'R' 'availeth nothing' for the oyster eater. The ovster has such delicate and fine tissues that it easilv decomposes.

These bivalves are not good in the months that have no 'R* in them, for those .months are invariably warm, but it does not follow because the month is spelled with an "R* in it that the oyster may safely IK* eaten far from the place of taking.

ILL ABOUT SHOES.

THEIR ORIGIN AND OTHER INTERESTING INFORMATION^

In the Days Before the Norman Conquest, The Kinds of Boot* Kings Dar« Worn. "Sign#** nt«d Superstition* of r/Ir.ny Time* and PMpl«s.

Nobody knows who was the first shoemaker. Undoubtedly there was a time when ail oar forefathers went barefooted, but at length somebody made a pair of shoes, rough foot mats or shields of woven reeds or skins. The original shoemaker sought comfort. Style came later. The Celt, who at times wandered over moor or morass, at others over stony mountains, invented a shoe admirably adapted to his use. A sole of heavy hides protected his feet from sharp stones, while uppers or logs of lighter skins protected his ankles and legs from thorns tmd bushes. The buskin was so constructed that the water exuded from it as soon as the foot ceased to be immersed In tho modern shoe the idea is that water be kept out, not let out. The Celtic buskin was tough and elastic, and could be replaced wherever there were untanned skins at hand. Sverj* Celt was his own shoemaker. With the Norman conquest came the introduction into the British Isles of tanned leather, which had long been in use in Normandy, where it had been introduced by the Romans.

SOME COSTLY SHOES.

The old, good soft shoes of untanned leather, which must have been deliciously comfortable, were set aside, and then came curiously shaped shoes of many styles and a variety of colors. From the close fitting shoe fashion led to many extremes. First came long, pointed toes, which soon assumed the shape of a peak, fashioned like a ship's prow, and in time assuming the likeness of a scorpion's tail, which in turn grew to "devil's claws," and fastened to the wearer's knees. King Richard the Lion Hearted had his boots stamped with gold. John Lackland, his brother, wore boots spotted with golden circles, while Henry III wore boots checkered with golden lines, every square of which was enriched with a lion. Cardinal Wolsey's shoes were

Of gold and stone precious, Costing many a thousand pounds. Sir Walter Raleigh wore shoes studded with diamonds, said to have cost £80,000. Tho gallants in Charles IPs time wore their high boot tops turned down to the ankles to show the gorgeous laces with which they were lined. High heeled boots were worn by ladies for three parts of tho Eighteenth century. Thoy raised their fair wearers some run-

think it is a mercy he died. If he lived, ....... he'd never got through talking about that illness. Of course, it would have been a great pleasure to him, poor man but think how all the rest of us would have suffered!"

Boots and shoes of all kinds have been worn—shoes made of wood, leather and reeds brass bound, iron bound, gold bound with wide toes, narrow toes and pointed toes afoot long but the right and left shoe were shaped exactly alike. About the year 1800, however, an Englishman invented "rights and lefts." This was soon followed by many improvements, both in stylo of tho shoe and the tanning of tho leather.

The Highlander carved brogans out of the hide of the deer, the slaying of which had afforded sport and adventure. He gained for himself the name of "Red Shanks" by wearing boot legs from the same hide, lashed around his calves with the hair outward.

Even fairies have been credited with taking an interest in shoes, for we are told that the merry little Cornish pixies liked nothing so well as to hammer away in the dead of night at the unfinished shoes on the cobbler's bench, to surprise and gladden him next morning with the outcome of their energy.

It is supposed to be unlucky to put either shoe on the wrong foot, nor must one put the 'left shoe on before the right, unless one wished to bring about some direful calamity. Augustus Ciesar, it is said, put on his left shoe first, and before nightfall he narrowly escaped assassiuation. Dr. Brower says that plueking off the shoe among tho Jews, smoking the pipe among the Indians, thumb licking among the Scotch, breaking a straw together among the Teutons, and shaking bands among the English are all ceremonies to confirm a bargain. The Jewish custom of plucking off the shoo or sandal is frequently referred to in the Scriptures In the story of Ruth it is recorded that a compact which 43oaz made was sealed by a shoe being drawn off one of the verses reads: "Now, this was the manner in former timo in Israel concerning redeeming and concerning changing, for to confirm all things a man plucked off his shoe and gave it to his neighbor and this was a testimony in Israel." "WHERE THE SHOE PINCHES."

The Jew who failed to keep a compact of honor was summoned before the authorities, and if he then refused to fulfill his compact, tho offended party would loosen his shoe, spit in his face, "and," as Holy Writ says, "his name shall bo called in Israel, the house of him that hath his shoo loosed."

To say a man's "in his boots" implies that ho is very drunk. It Comes from an old Welsh word, "boozi," meaning to be saturated with liquor. But to stand in another's shoos is to claim the honors of another. It has its origin from a custom common among the ancient Northmen, among whom If a man adopted a son in order that the youth might lawfully inherit, he must for a certain length of time wear the shoes of his adopter.

Au old Roman, much to the surprise of his friends, sought to divorce his wife, with whom it was always supposed that he lived very happOy. Ho was blamed for taking this step, and in reply put out his foot and asked if his shoes were not new and well inad& "Yet,r' said be, "none of you can tell where it pinchcs." From this incident is said to have oome the saying, "where the shoe pinches."

As a sign of respect the Japanese, when they meet in the street, take off their slippera This custom almost universally prevails in the East' An Inferior, when be enters the presence of his superior, removes his shoes or tkippers and leave# them at the door until his departure. This is done as a mark of humility, as a shoeless foot denotes servitude. The slipper is always left at the door of the Mohammedan mosque, for the reason that leather is regarded as am unclean thing and must not be brought into the presence of tho holy.

The custom of throwing an old shoe after «, newly married oouple is almost universal, gome thinkthatit isarelteof the days when the gallant lover carried off his sweetheart by force. Others ascribe good luck to an oid shoe mid throw It after the newly married ooapJ* with the tiest intent. This certainly is the moet popular view, and few parents dream thai when they throw her old shoe after her they thereby give up for good and all their control and right over their daughter. Yet this it the signiiksoce it had in the days when She Anglo-Saxon to the bride* gpoom an old uhoe o* the hrida. The husband toacbed bride oo the bead with it as an assertion of hfs authority, while the father by the giving of tli» shoe, signified his willingrieM to rvlinqoishidl chiim or aaihoritj. In furlwy, however, i$ts tha br&egrwMn himsdf that is tooched, mod sometimes quita •jevwttty, for the moment be kt married his friends and relative* set upon him and pets trim with their •Uppers as a sort of
