pecial Correspondence to the Express. immnnati, September ".—Cincinnati, as a center of amusement is attracting a great many visitors, and each day the streets are lilled with people gazing around in a dazed way, which at once stamps them as strangers. Among them are many from Terre Haute, and to these the city with its big hills blacking the Btreets in all directions is a pleasant variation. Streets in which you cannot walk three squares in any direction without going up or down a sharp incline, are something new, and residences three stories on the street and six in the rear, such aa one I was in yesterday, are dodecidedly a novelty to me from the Prairie City. The business center is surrounded with hills, and these are surrounded with look-out houses and beer gardens. Beyond are the residence suburbs, the beautiful parts of the city, with houses of modern architecture, pretty parks and well-kept streets. All parts of the city are of easy access on cable and horse-car lines, and excursions on these are both pleasant and profitable. Hut go in any direction you will, into any part of the city, the predominating abundance of saloonB and beer gardens is a surprise even to a Terre Haute visitor, Beer drinking is conlined to every amusement, characteristic of such a population. The attractions are very well scattered over the city, and to visit all will necessarily acquaint one with all the phases of life and degrees of advancement of tho people.

The centonnial exposition is the great attraction and is a field for endless is an impossibility to lind of the display and to have seen all is to a credulous listener. I have all, about two entire days there, and yet find something on each visit unseen before. The United States government exhibit is tho overshadowing display, and after having completed Lho tour of the exposition entire, the feeling is involuntary that without it, tho great attraction would be a sad disappointment. This exhibit includes vory complete displays from the National museum, Smithsonian institution, patent ollice, bureau of education, agricultural department, tiie geological survey, coast and geodetic Biirvey, tho treasury department, postollice and state, war and navy departments. The government, has, in fact, everything but a president on exhibition. Tho exhibit occupies about onesixth of the centennial space and is very interesting. The lifo-saving outfits, the model postollice, through which all the mail of the exposition circulates, the lisli collection, the ship models, the collection of etchings, engravings, etc., the autograph letters and treaties of the state department, and the ordinance models attract everyone's attention, and are certainly parts that should not be missed. Of tho state displays, Ohio takes tho lend, while California, Florida, and West Virginia are not to be lost night of. Then como endless private displays which are interesting to a degree more or less dependent of individaul I attes.

study. It the end nay you imposo on spent,

I till, the deprrtinent in which visitors from Terre 11uuto are more directly interested is that of the Kobo Polytechnic institute. It is located in tho southwest corner of MiiBic hall building, and will be found in charge oT Mr. Mason Calloway, a member of the junior class at the institute. The display is attracting a great deal of attention, and the general criticism is'quite favorable, (ientlemen of of acknowledged ability have said the exhibition of students' work was very crediLablo and not only a valuable addition to the exposition but an excellent advertisement for the school. One'well known educator, from Kentucky, asked Mr. (Jalloway the other afternoon if a graduate of the school could take charge of an industrial department in a university where he was working to have it introduced and, after minutely examining the display, ventured the opinion that a graduate undoubtedly could take such a department and successfully grow up with it. To a Terre Hautean who has visited the institute and witnessed all I,he machinery in motion, tho exhibit here will not receive merited appreciation, but to a stranger the full merit is manifest. The display has a good space, and the various departments of tho institute represented make a good showing. Mr. Calloway can be found there all times of the day, and will gladly furnish all information dosired. The other special attractions can easily be found on inquiry* from innumerable attendants. In the Smithsonian display Mr. Theo. L. "'Cowdrou, a well-known stuueut of the Polytechnic, is stationed and will be pleased to see all visitors from Terre Haute. lloosiers are regarded in a very bad light at the exposition, and in one department are avoided as much possible, if what I hear is true. The director of one exhibit has an intense aversion for lloosiers, and in half seriousness instructed his assistants to "have nothing whatever to do with lloosiers." It is said here that Indianians can be distinguished from citizens of any other state, and the story is told that one barber quite well known will ask them as his first question "how the crops in Indiana are getting along?" The intelligence of the average Hoosier iR probably of a higher grade than the Buckeye state will recognize or acknowledge.

The Kail of Babylon is a grand spectacle, ami although anticipating a great deal, the realization was a pleasant surprise. Crowd atteud every evening, and no one will regret having gone very much out of their way to have witnesfed it. The play is the presentation of the bible story of the city's fall, and is not only extremely interesting in its graudness but instructive.

During the last week I have seen a number of Torre Haute people, running against them everywhere. While in -Music hall during one of Liberati's

Attacked by 1111 Owl.

Dan Banks, of Eliznbethtown, 111., heard his chickens squawking the other night, and hurried to the hen house to investigate. As he entered the door he was attacked by a big bird, which took a grip on his right arm that he could not shake off. He defended himself with his other hand, and had an ugly hole torn in it by the powerful beak of the bird. Then he called to Mrs. Banks, and she came out and killed the bird, which proved to be an immense horned owl. It was with dilliculty that the long talons were unclasped from Mr. Banks' arm, and the wound that the owl had made was enough to demand attention of a surgeon.

An Kru of KaM Ships.

The debut of the City of New York is said to heral an era of ships still faster. We read that "Tho White Star line is having two built at Belfast, wqich, it is believed, will do the passage in live days. TheGuion company has likewise two faster ones building, which are also expected to be 'five-dayers.' The Cunard company will not be outrivaled in speed, and has some new and fast boats making."

Recently a collier at Wolverhampton, who had lo6t his 6ight through an accident, was being led home when a flash of lightning reflected on the spectacles he was wearing to conceal his disfigurement. After the peal of thunder which followed he complained of pain in his head. The next moment he found he had regained possession of his eyesight.

concerts, I saw Miss Mary II. Krout sitting in a chair oppoBite me. She is now on tho editorial stall' of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, and has been assigned to look after Indiana politics. The position is a Bplendid one. She has "one day off" each week and was spending this in Cincinnati. While walking down the Gondola canal, some one tapped me on the arm, and on turning, came face to face with H. I\ Biel, the photographer, and wife, doing out the door of Shillito's big dry goods house ran face to face with Mr. Mason (ialloway. In the exposition I met Walter Dunbar. He is now on the staff of the Post, and after doing assignment work for a short time, now goes to Columbus to look after Ohio politics for that paper. Mike O'Brion ie still on the Times-Star and is doing Police court and dramatic work. Misss Hattie Brown is visiting this week with friends on Mt. Auburn, on her return home from a visit in Canada. The Misses Stanley are visiting out on Walnut Hills, in the district where the Rev. Mr. Stanley had a church before coming to Terre Haute. Last evening Miss Hattie Brown, Mr. Condron and myself were at the exposition, and in music hall we met Professor W. W. Byers, Misses Helen and Gertrude Byere, Laura and Anna Paxt.on and lOmma Condit and Walter Dunbar. To-night we all go to the Fall of Babylon. In the exposition halls are many registers where visitors leave their authographs, and on these boeks I have seen a great many names of Terre flauteans who are now at home. Miss Rosa Reiss and Miss Freers are visiting here also. Among the Terre Hauteans here for an indefinite period are Jacob White, who is located at the government building, and Jambs Maher, who is in the Erie railroad oflice. t\*. A. L.

I Inn lleCnvu English .Swells :i New Inipress ion of A morlciiii Society. Jerome had the run of the aristocracy, and it is told that he took advantage of this to play a joke at the incidental expense of the queen, says tho Springfield Republican. He visited Osborne, tho royal residence on the Tsle of Wight, with some of his "blooded" friends, and in one of the rooms the eagle eye of the joker lighted on some of the royal stationary. "Oh," he cried, raising his eyes to heaven, "if I could only perchance havo one of those crested sheets to take home to America, how envied would I be there!"

His friond thought it could be arranged, and soon the joker had his prize. Soon after this Mr. Bennett gave a dinner on his yacht, to which a number of Englishmen were invited. Mr. Jerome had written on the royal stationery an invitation to Lawrence Tj. Jerome to dine at Osborne with her majesty, the queen, and arranged to have it brought to him when the champagne had circulated long enough to make the Englishmen unsuspicious and credulous. As it happened, a real invitation from Lord Somebody was handed to the joker just a few moments before the arrival of the bogus one. He opened it, yawned, and looked distraught. "What is it?" asked some one. "Oh, only an invitation frotn Lord So and So." The Englishmen started. Only an invitation! Then camethebig envelope with the real seal and crest. The Englishmen marveled. Mr. Jerome sighed, and with an incomparable air of nonchalance cut the seal and opened the precious missive. "Well," he said, "this is getting to be a bore."

What was it? Oh, an invitation from the queen. An invitation from the queen a bore? Oh, well, she doubtless meant kindly, but she didn't know how tired the American was of these little social courtesies they were beginning to pall upon him. And so for half an hour he ran on, and nearly drove the Johnnies crazy. They never suspected a joke.

A KKAh WICKED I'AUKOT.

He loes Nothing Hut Swear and Will Not l.earn (iood Words. "That's the wickedest polly in Now York," said the keeper of a Bowery bird store to a World reporter, pointing to an old gray parrot that was sitting in his cage, with his head cocked on one

Bide

listening. He blinked his eyes knowingly and gave tho harsh screech of his kind in evident approval and complete satisfaction of his wickedness. "I bought him in a saloon on State street, in Chicago and I can't sell him. You see ho doesn't do anything but swear." As if to sustain his reputation the parrot burst forth into a torrent of the most vigorous oaths then he relapsed into profound silence, holding his head on one side as if waiting for applause. "I sold him to a Sixth avenue barkeeper," continued the owner, "on condition that he cotld return him in a week if he did not like him. The parrot was back the next day. Jim—I call him Swearing Jim-didn't like the place, so he sat up all day long damning the beer, the lunch, the whisky, and the barkeeper, lie swore at the customers, and kept up such a storm of oaths that it scared everybody out of the house. Next I sold him on trial to a gambler who was running a poker room down-town. The gambler sat in the game himself that night, and hung .lim's cage up behind him. The rattle of the chips annoyed Jim, keeping him from sleep, and the gambler Bays he never stopped swearing all night. When Jim gets very mad he says 'Blast your heart!' He kept screeching that out every minute that night, and between times got in hiB regular oaths. The gambler got rattled and lost $•200. lie brought Jim back, and said he wouldn't take him as a gift. I haven't sold him since."

During the recital of this Btory Jim kept nolding his gray old head and blinking his wicked eyes in perfect confirmation. When his owner ceased talking Jim made some remarks in a general way about his soul and its probable destination, and then became silent, save an occasional screech. "I believe he's unlucky," the man went on, "and I am getting afraid of him. I believe sometimes he is a devil. lie never says a good word, and I can never teach him one. But let anybody use a strange oath in his presuse 'a sirange oath in his presence and he cocks up his head and fires it back at him. A Spaniard was in here yesterday and he swore at Jim in Spanish. His old eyes lighted up and he seemed to know he waff hearing in some strange, new wickedness. He jusfT rolled it over and over in his mouth and kept repeating it again and again. He was happy all day, and whenever anybody came in he would swear away at them with his new oath. He especially them with his new oath. He especially delights to startle ladies. Last week a lady got out of her carriage and came in to look at some canaries. When ladies come in I always take Jim out, but this morning I forgot it. \VhiIe the lady was looking at the canaries I suddenly heard a volley of oaths and I looked around. There was Jim looking like a devil, his neck stretched out and his eyes snapping, swearing his very worst. He knew the lady would be frightened and she was. She ran out of the shop, and Jim swore till the carriage drove away. My wife is a church worker and her pastor comes here to visit very frevently. The sight of a preacher sets

Fashion Notes.

Odd effects appear in tho newest watered silks. The newest bangle is of gold wire, shaped to an arrow and curving about the arm.

A novelty in underwear is the skirt of striped white lawn, woven to imitate drawn work.

The bow at the top of your parasol cannot be too flamboyant for fashion, and the richer and costlier tho ribbon composing it the better the style.

The old-fashioned corded and

ctobs-

barred organdy muslin is again in high favor, as well as lace-Btriped batiste and chambray and Scotth ginghams.

Short petticoats, coming just below the knee, are worn by many ladies in place of the chemise, and are trimmed with tucks and lace or an embroidered ruflle.

Though embroidery still appears on hats and bonnets, it is subduodly elegant, not of the garish,, glowing variety that for a twelve-month or more has offended the eye.

India pongee grows more and more the rage, and is used indifferently for gowns, hats, wraps or blouses, which are usually trimmed with a sharply contrasting darker hue.

Dressing sacques of spotted or striped mull have a litted back and the loose front tucked to form a yoke and are finished with bunches of narrow ribbon to match the hue of their stripes.

Drawers come just below the knee and are five-eighths of a yard wide, and the most stylish models have the trimming curved up at the outer seam, where a bow of ribbon is often set.

A very new and very Frenchy fancy for waist trimming is a corselet or white ribbon, not fitted, but held in place by pins and ending in a knot and long end to fall over the skirt.

Trained petticoats are no longer worn, as dress skirts are finished now with lace-edged frills and flounces in tho trains, which take the folds of the outer garment as no separate skirt could.

Waists run to extreme, either under the arm-pits or long as the moral law, but the same bodice may be made to answer for both styles by means of the wide, Eoftly folded empire sash.

New French nightgowns are much fuller than formerly and the width goes to tho neck in tucks, plaits or Bhirrings, while some of them are tucked at the waiste in front to form a Spanish girdle.

Mull and batiste lined or specked with scarlet or deep blue is made into gowns, chemiBe or short petticoats for very young women, and, for invalids, is better than pure white, as it does not look so rumpled after an hour's wear.

For Ingrowing Naile.

Put a small piece of tallow in a spoon and heat it over a lamp until it becomes very hot, and drop two or three drops of it between the nail and the granulations. The effect is almost magical. Pain and tenderness are at once relieved, and in a few days the granulations are all gone, the diseased parts dry and destitute of feeling, and the edge of the nails exposed, so as to admit of being pared without any inconvenience. The operation causes little or no pain, if the tallow is properly heated.
