They had dollar oil again in New York yesterday. Strange PI it may seem, however, the oil market in Terre Haute is just the same when oil is a dollar or 75 cents in the gambling exchanges in the East.

Chicago has determined to make an '•, -earnest fight to seoure the Werld's fair in 1892. Chicago is the city of all cities

'in this country for all big attractions, both by reason of its location and ability to take care of the people in the right way.

The railroad trust is not likely to take ahape in a formal organization. It is a little too big a thing to be handled. It is no doubt true that railroad stock is not what it used to be in the respact of a dividend payirsf investment, and in this fact can be found much of the explanation for the effort of Englieh capital to find other sources of profit in this country, but no railroad trust will ohPTge the ledger figures of the compel?'* 3.

The domestic financial affairs of Bome of the English royal family is to be made a great political issue. The fact in itBelf presages a changing sentiment of loyalty to royalty. Never before did the question of royal grants raise pi i^sue wb'ch hinged on the grants as a part of the form of government. There may have been questions of disputed amounts but now .it is a discupqion of the grant itself. We should rejoice that there is no such ipsue in this country. True, the Democratic press would try to mp're an issue of Baby McK^e, but then the Democratic pre?3 is alwaj directory attention to some small matter in wb'.ch the great mass of the people tnks little or no interest.

The Chicago Times, once a gi sat newspaper property seems to have reached that low level where pheriffs find ready acce s. Terre Haute has a claim on the cot cern that ought to be satisfied but, perhaps, never will be. A representative of the Times ceme here in the early days of our oil excitement and raised nearly five hundred dollars for a ffri'a-up" of the city. We believe that the tbrf or four little items about the city, which have since appeared in the Times, make in all perhaps $25 woith of adveiuis'ng at high rates. A few days alter this confidence game WPS played on the city the Indianapolis Sentinel sent emi&«r?rias here to raise $500 for a write up" in that newspaper. While we were justified in expecting the Sentinel, a supposed state "organ," to pei'orm this set vice "free gratis for nothing," yet we now regret that it did not and the Timts did receive the £jioaey. It would have been wpat.eful, no doubt, but the Times robbed the city.

ROMANCE AND ROYALTY.

For the first time ia the b'etory of Great Britain a royal princess in

fhe

direct line of succession to the throne about to become the W'fe of a banker, says the Chicago Herald. Should any miefortune put an end te the lives of Prince Edward and Prince George of Wales, their rights of Bucces•ion to the crown would fall to their eldest sister, Princess Louise, who, on the death of Queen Victoria and of the prince of Walee, would become queen regnant of Great Britain and Ireland. In that case the junior partner in the great Lendon banking house of Scott 4 Co. would find himself in a position even more anomalous than that of the lati Prince Albert—a position, in fact, to find a parallel for which it is necessaiy to go back to the days of Mary que an of Scots and the earl of Darnley.

Lord Fife, who, besides his income derived from his partnership in the bank and from his directordhips in various railroads and industrial enterpriser, enjoys the revenues of a vast estate of some three hundred thousand acres, is one of those foitunate men who, in high favor at court and bleesed munifirjnt'y With rank, wealth and talents of every kind, hs3succ ided achieving an immense popularity with all claseas of the people. He has never been known to do a mean, unchivalrous or any way questionable action, Fid while by no means a saint by nature, pnd exposed to every kind of temptation, his private life hp 3 hitherto been without reproach.

The prince ot Wales hps once more given an evidence of the test for which he is renowjed by selecting for his daughter a Britiph husbpnd in preference to one of those 'mpecuniouB Germpi princ^lets who have done so much toward dimin'shing tb9 popularity of royalty in Er?lend.

Wben the earl of Fife occupied a seat in the house of common 83 V'scount Macduff great things were expected of himaia radical politician. He was then a warm suppoiier of Mr. Gladstore, and used at times to appear on poDular plat forrr". When the social scicace con-grf-s vipit^d Aberdeen he addressed a monster me stir? of workingmen in the music hall there and cidated a very favorable impwior Years have since moderated h'3 political ardor, and he is now a strong Unor't-.

The only recent occrsion on which Lord Fl'ehas made pny political ap j. jaran was at the Ur'cnist mf ?ting at her m^jeaty'f in April, 1886. He then made a short pnd somewhat violent sp* in which he stigmatized opponent ion the Irish question 89 '-lunatics," and said of himself that he was one of those liberals who, from the fiut. absolutely declined to support a m'n'stiy, a distingu'shed memt er of which informed him that they were about to entar upon apalkyof examination and inquiry into a matter upon which he (Lord Fife) WPT convinced that neither examination nor inquiry WF? wpnted.

Knowing nothing of the colored race, the negro at home was a refreshing novelty, and the dusky daughtsu of Africa a revelation. It is not known whether the noble lord is a Wagnerian, but it is probable not, as he declared ne had never been so touohed by musio as when he listened in Thomt 3on street to a number of oldtime aarkies singing the oathetio songs of their race of "ae dajd befo' de wa'." Under the care of the same able officer Macduff visited the haunts of the criminal classes, and had ample opportunity to oomparethe thorough knowledge possessed by the New York police ot ita worst oriminals with that ot the London and Paris detectives, with whom he had

made similar toon. It is gratifying to add that ha was strongly improved with the astuteness ot the New York body, to whom he was disposed to award the palm.

Of Princess Louise, the future countess of Fife, and possibly the queen ot Great Britain and Ireland, there is bnt little to say. She has been moat carefully trained and brought up in the very simplest manner by her mother, the princess of Wales. While neither so graceful nor captivating as her mother, the young princess is much liked by all those who know her, her behavior being singularly simple, natural and unaffected. Many of the hats and dresses worn during the past three yean by her two sisters and herself have been made entirely with their own hands.

A Mew Feature of Atmy Life That Has Novel Effee'i.

NEW YORK, July 22.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: A feature of army life that is now attracting some attention outside of the ranks, and which has the approval of the officials of the war department is what is known as the "canteen." It is beet known in the English army, and has for its object the providing for soldiers of food, drink and amusementp At present the first two named, aside from the necessities of the soldier, which are provided by the oommissary department, are supplied by the poet traders. Until within the last few years the bnsinees of the post trader was profitable, but the growth of new towns near the posts his business fell off, until now his revenue is derived largely from his license to sell beer and wine. In many cases it is said that the post trader abuses the privileges thus granted him, and dispenses to the soldierB a poor quality of wh)9ky and brandy. The trader's dealings are thus often prejudicial to good ooder and discipline at the post. It is this fact, probably more than any other, that has led to the adoption of the canteen system. The canteen is controlled by a voluntary association of the soldiers. The supplies are purchased and Bold as at the post trader's, but no spirituous liquors are sold Jand no liquors of any kind to an intoxicated man. By this means the soldiers themselves lend their aid to the officers in maintaining discipline. The amusement include both in-door and out-door recreation and sports, and it is this feature to which the officers look for the best results in the morals of the enlisted men. The results of the system have been so satisfactory that the war department officials and heads of the army give all possible encouragement to its growth. In a short time a complete list of the locations of canteens will be made up. They are known to exist at Davis island, New York harbor Columbus barracks, and several posts in the West. It is expected the reports now coming in will be so favorable that the extension of the canteen system to every army post will soon be accomplished.

THE TERRE HAUTE HiXPRKSS, TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 23, 1889.

IRON AMD STSBL KKR BKlFflCAL. The* Take Llttl* Stack la Mortoa'a Froeaaa for Rolllac Moltea Metal.

There ia much incredulity among iron and steel men aa to the probable success of Edwin Norton's prooess of rolling molten metal aa applied to steel or even solder or brass in other forms than aheete. says the Chicago News.

J. C. Parkes, manager of the Illinois steel company, said: "It can't be said that such a think is impossible. In fact, I think it will! be done some time. But Whether this process will accomplish it isa question. 1 can readily see how iron or solder could be rolled through two rollers that are close together, so as to turn it out as sheet iron or something in that shape. But suppose you try to make a steel rail? In the first place, could the rollers be kept hot enough so that the ateel would not be chilled before it was rolled? It would require a much greater heat than irbn. Ana if that oould be done the difficulty would be in rolling it. The metal would hate to be rolled in a stream the size of a steel rail. It

through could not hold it' together. Possibljr a mechanical contrivance might be invented to afford the necessary resistance from below, but it would be complicated. I don't Bay molten steel will not be rolled but I don't think the process has been found yet. "Will it create a revolution in the manufacture of steel rails? It will certainly reduce the cost of manufacturing to some extent. But the material will have to be bought, the baildings must be there, you must have the furnaces, and the saving would only be in the help now required in rolling cold steel. The machinery for rolling it in the molten state would have to be heavy, aubstantial and complicated, and probably quite plicated, ana proDaoiy quite expensive. Still, I think there would be a considerable reduction in the price."

Charles Himrod, president of the Calumet Iron 3c Steel company, was still more skeptical. He did not think that any roller could be made that would not itself melt when struck by a stream of molten steel, and he did not see how a steel rail could be rolled when the metal was practically poured down through a wide hole with nothing to stop it might do for iron but not steel. Even if it should be done he did not think it would revolutionize the manufacture of steel rails, as it would not reduce the expense to any great extent. "But," he added, "we are often incredulous when anew thing comes up, and there is no telling that this will not be done."

SAYS SHE ISN'T DEAD.

A Young Matron Disproves the Statement That She Committed Suicide. NEW YORK, July 22.—On July 12 a mysterious young woman committed suicide at a Third avenue lodging house. SIVB was at first supposed to be Mrs. Kittie Doane, of Toronto,. but later it was discovered that that was not her name. All efforts to identify the suicide failed until yesterday. William Reynolds, a young tinomith, called at police headquarters and stated that the young girl was his cousin, Kate McCormack, of Cleveland, who ran away with a sewing machine agent named Kibler some months ago. Reynolds told a romantic story, and the police thought that at last the question of identity was settled. That they were mistaken was proved this morning by Mrs. Kibler, nee Kate McCormack, of Cleveland, walking to headquarters and denying that she had committed suicide, and telling the police that Reynolds was troubled with an awful imagination.

Tbe Sheep and the Shah.

It is apparently expected that we shall believe that during his first visit to London, sixteen years ago, tbe shah secluded himself in Green park fer the purpose of killing sheep. In the morning, after these seclusions, several eheep were found with their throats cut, and nothing remained to be done but to bury them. Just before the shah's present visit all of those gentle animals were re-moved-from the park, it evidently being supposed that the shah would practice hie old tricks at the first opportunity. We do not Jbelieve this story. If the shah is fond of sheep-killing (and it seems incredible he should prefer it to deer-Btalking), it would plainly be the policy of the British government, if it expected to lure him away from Russia, to furnish him with as muoh of the pastime as possible. It is muoh better for England to lose a few sheep than a whole shah.

The Hottest Weather Known

"What is the hottest weather ever known in the United States?" The question is answered in the May bulletin of the Kentucky statistical weather service. The highest eemperature recorded by the United States signal service wee at Phoenix and Fort McDowell, Arizona, in June, 1883. The thermometor marked 119 deg. However, unofficial observers report temperature as high as 128 deg and 122 deg at Mammoth Tank and Humboldt, Cal. The coldest weather recorded by the service was 69 deg below zero at Poplar River, Mon. But this is a warm place compared with Werchojansk, Siberia, the coldeet Inhabited spot on the face of the globe. The thermometer there has been as low as 90 deg below zero. In view of these figures let us not complain of a paltry 90 deg below zero.—[Louisville Post.

The Blaine-McCormick Engagement.

Emmons Blaine's friends at Deer Park verify the announcement of his engagement to Miss Anita McCormick, of Chicago. The young lady is a cousin of S. B. Elkine, and Mrs. Elkins expresses the greatest satisfaction at the engagement. She said that Mr. Blaine had been very muoh in love with Miss McCormick for three years, and that ahe thought the marriage would take place very soon, since Miss McCormick had at last permitted the engagement to be announoed. The secretary^ second son ia considered an admirable man all through this section, where his business relations have been for several years, and many olaim he has inherited his lather's clear judgment. Miss McCormick is described by those who know her here aB a "cultured and lovely American girl."

THB WORLD'S VA1B. -v

Chicago Mae Begun an Karaeet right to Secure the 1892 Exhibition. CHICAGO, July 22.—Chicago is beginning an earneat fight for the world's fair in 1892. At a meeting of the city connoil to-night Mayor Cregier presented the following communication: To the Honorable City Council:

OKNTLBIOEN: Chicago wants tbe "World's Fair" In 1892, and proposes to strive hard to get it In no spirit of exaggeration we may reasonably claim that Chicago is the city of America, above all others, where the propoeed fair can most appropriately be held. It Is the city moat truly typical of American life, American ideas and American enterprise. Its geographical situation, railroad and hotel facilities. canaot be "rivalled by any. There Is, besides, an opportunity to select within the present city limits an admirable site. The commercial enterprise and the public spirit of Its citizens, and their boondleas hospitality shown on every occasion, give assurance that no efforts and means will be wanting toward the bringing about ot tbe establishment of the world's fair In Chicago, and providing for it with unexampled liberality.

In view of the efforts being made to secure its location elsewhere, I suggest that the city council of Chicago initiate a formal organization for the purpose of uniting our citizens in the efforts necessary to bring this great undertaking to Chicago.

DEWITT C. CRKGIKB.

The following resolution was presented and adopted: Whereas. Efforts are being made to secure the location of the projected "World's Fair," to be held in 1892 in the cities by the seaboard, and

Whereas, Chicago Is deemed to be the most fitting ard appropriate American city, in which this undertaking can best be carried out, therefore be It

Besolved, By the city council of the city ot Chicago, that the mayor is hereby requested and authorized to nominate a committee of 100 citizens to take the preliminary steps toward securing the location of the world's fair In Chicago, with power to enlarge the committee, 11 deemed necessary.

S SEPARATED BY A GYPSY.

A Fortune-Telling Vagrant Makes Trouble For a Young Chicagoan.

The World's Long Branch special says: "There is rather a remarkable story going the rounds here of young Edward G. Mapee, of Chicago, who was up to last Wednesday week engaged to be married to one of the fairest of New York's daughters. The young lady insisted one day while discussing the future with a group of Bchoolgirl companions that they should all have their fortunes told. A visit was made to the tent of gypsy near by. Mr. Mapes' fiance crossed the gypsy's palm, and the old lady immediately began the old fake routine. Among other things, she told the young lady that her lover would meet a young lady that very night and greet her with loving words and kisses. According to the World story this turned out to be true, and, what was worse, the lady discovered that the young woman in the case was one of her companions to the gypsy's tent. Several explanations have been given of the story, but it is certain that the young woman has left the branch, and the engagement is off, for the present at least.

A Sea Lion in Laka Winnebago.

Menasha, Wis., July 22.—During the past two years people have at various times claimed to have seen a sea serpent in Lake Winnebago. Others who saw the alleged monster said it was a whale. In one or two instances affidavits to the truth of the claim" were made. It is now found that there is some ground for the story told. Saturday afternoon, while two boys were spearing fiogs near the lake they saw the monster in a shallow brook. Assistance was summoned, and a sea lion, eleven feet long, was captured. It escaped from a circus here four years ago, and th§ fact had been forgotten.

An Oil Centennial.

We are not yet through with centennials in this country. One hundred years ago next August the first petroleum well was sunk in Pennsylvania, and it is proposed to celebrate the occurrence by arousing demonstration in the oil regions of that Btate, New York and Ohio. There is poetic and ethical symmetry in the fact* that about the same time when America started out to illustrate liberty enlightening the world it also furnished the globe with the greatest illuminator it ever possessed.—[Troy Times.

[In a Simple Braid.

The latest feminine craze, that for wearing the hair in a simple braid, doubled up once and tied with a piece of ribbon, Bohool-girl fashion, has common sense on its side this hot weather, although it is rather harrowing to see when adopted by a shrinking, timid young miss of 30 or 40 summers. It isn't fair for women with really long hair, though,' for their braid is so long that it doesn't look nice, and is in the way beeide.

It Has a Good Delivery.

An artesian well in North City, a suburb of St. AuguBtine, Fla., is said to have tbe largest flow of any artesian well in the world. It is an eight-inch well, and its flow exoeeds the highest expectations. From a measurement made by Dr. J. K. Rainey the flow exceeds eight thousand gallons per minute, or over eleven million five hundred thousand gallons every twenty-four hours.
