2SOTE8 AND OBSERVATIONS ON MAT* TEES ABOUND

H-Ji-

TOWN.

Let me, as to Interested party, prophecy that after *11 the talk about the telephone monopoly, the high rates, etc., that it will result in naught, a* far as aecnring any reduction in prices. The parties to the agreement may ever so -solemnly declare and affirm that they will all stick together and have their telephones taken out—and mean it, too, when they declare it—but when the man comes atoond to remove the high-priced luxury, some of them will change their minds, and think they can better afford to pay the obnoxious prices rather than •bedeprived of the use of the instrument. If one of them weakens it wilt be an excellent excuse for the others, and as a result in plasie of over two hundred telephones beinrf removed there will be a very few. Then, there are many subscribers who have not signed, and the ^argument that there will be no other .persons to talk with is rendered useless. No subscriber whose business absolutely 'requires him to use a telephone, will 4ake it ont for the difference of a dollar •or two dollars a month, no matter whether his name is signed to the agreementor not. That's the whole matter In a nutshell, and is why I feel secure in prophecying that the whole matter will end in thin air. MS**

jui

There will be some of the leading agitators order their instruments out, and others who can afford to do without them but the former cannot well do otherwise. After the prominent part they have taken in the demand for a red notion, they could not in justice to ^themselves allow the instruments to •remain. But when they Hod that they rare losing patronage from not beiux connected with the telephone system tbey will quickly fall into line again. It's all well enough to say that, as we did without telephones once, we can do -so-again, but that is not the case. 8uch time as that is past, and we could just as well say that we can do without tele* graph or railroad service as without that of the exchange. We had a practical demonstration last summer of what a state of aflkirs wonld exist without the telegraph, and while the loss of the telephone would perhaps not be a« greatly felt, it would be very incouvenient. While the business men can do away with this great convenience at the present coat they will not hesitate very long, agement or no agreement. w.

Do not understand this as a plea for the telephone company, or even in the •lightest defense of its action, for with many other subscribers who signed the original petition 1 think the exdbange ean give us as good eervioe as we now have at price* moderately leas than those at present charged. ButJ[ realise that the telephone oompany have all the advantage*," and are wily enough to

The "swearing off" season Is near at hand, and men who haven't atamina enough to stop their evil habits at any other time, are preparing to "swear off/' the same to have aad hold effect for per^ haps an entire week. Among other ^hiuga that might be "sworn off," and for good and always, might be mentioned the following:

The street commUsioner—from keeping the streets clean and clear of ice and aluah. He doesn't do it anyhow, and might aa well swear off.

Councilman Qraoe—from making any more of the apeeobee for wfaioh he re* celvea credit in the papers,

Likewise, Dr. Swafford. The firemen—from playing old sledge for the drinka to be had from the chief* saloon.

The mayor—from allowing a hightoned poker room to flourish over bis drug store.

The chief of police—from permitting a gambling den to have its only exit at the back door of bis saloont pj-

The opera house management—from giving us any more of the shows like that of Christmas day.

The young men who make |6 a week —from spending it all on keuo aud Mlliftrat* -t*

The infants Who ahould be home In bed— from loafing around billiard halla, and paaaing tor men.

The young women who want to be reapeeted—from attending low public balls.

The married woman—from everlastingly finding fault with their husbands. The married me®—from—well, there are so many things that tbey can properly swear off from, that It would ha useless to attempt to enumerate

up to a standard of appreciation of such music, and the Oratorio Society and Prof. Shide are chiefly instrumental in the good work. A few years ago the production of an oratorio here wonld have brought out an audience very much lees than that of last night, and the increase in the number of appreciative auditors must be a source of much gratification to the directors and members of the society.

Every time I bear Dan Davis sing my admiration of bis beautiful voice increases, and I often wonder why he does not devote himeelf entirely to music. His singing would bring him more fame and financial prosperity, too, than be will ever be able to acquire in the limits to which be now confines his efforts, We have had many fine concert and •pera companies here, but I have never beard a tenor wboee singing was as ef rective a* bla and I have beard that when Miss Fanny Kellugg was here sev eral years ago, at the Ssengerfest concert, she advised bim to devote himself to musical career, promising him a position at the head of bis profeeslon. And by the way, after his superb rendering of Be thou faithful unto death," last night, be abould have been allowed to respond to the encore which the audlso enthusiastically demanded.

THK telephone subscribers bad art en thuaiastic meeting of representative business men at the court house last night, «nd the committee appointed to goto Chicago reported that the company refuses to make any reduction in prides. The matter was vigorously discussed, and it was resolved to order out the tele phones on the flirt of January unless the rates are reduced to 93 for business houses and 92 for residences. Out of 360 subscribers here, about 170 have nig tied the argreement to do so. Both Hides are determined, and it will be interesting to watch the progress and result.

EMIL BAUBRclosed bis mlllinerfstore last Monday, and made as assignment of his property to Philip Schloss, for the benefit of bis creditors. His indebted ness is put at only $2 300, and assets are claimed to be about the same. Mr. Bauer is an honorable, upright gentleman, has been attentive to bis business, and this suspension is to be regretted. We hope that there may be a speedy settlement of hlit embarrassment and that be may be ithorily iu business again.

ON Christmas day »h«re ww an im mense surprise gathering at the house •if Riley Ray, brother of county treasurer—it being his bin hday. The dinner served is said to have been one of the grandest feasts ever served in this coun ty. The assembled guests were surprised by Mr. Ray's son John uniting in marriage with Miss Mahan. It was a happy time and a surprise all around.

THE LIBEL CASE.

CHA8. BAUR VS. THE EXPRESS.

NOW BEFORE THE COURT.

On Wednesday morning, tha e^bf Charles Baur against George M. Alien, proprietor of tbe Express, for damages to bis character in tbe publication of two articles on tbe 18th and 20th of last May, was commenced in the Circuit Court. 125 ,000 is tbe amount claimed. Idttle trouble was found in selecting a jury, which consisted of: Tbos. H. Reed, Wm. Baldwin, John Maxwell, Richard Cottom, Wm. N. diner, John Maynes, acob Wills, Moody C. Ripley, Samuel Hubble, Samuel Conner, H. S. Palmer and David Fitzgerald.

There is a formidable array of legal talent engaged, and tbe case will be bitterly fought on both sides, occupying probably five or six days. Mr. Baur*s case is In the hands Of Messrs. Davis A Davis, McNutt A McNutt, Pierce A Harper and S. R. Hamill. Mr. Allen la represented by Senator Voorbees, Jndge Carlton, Congressman Lamb and tbe Hon. Wm. E. Mack.

Tbe line of defense is foreshadowed In Mr. Mack's opening statement, wbo, after reading the alleged libelous articles, said:

The paper had simply published as a matter of news a rumor that had not only been erally current on tbe streets the day be-

lation. He wild that tbey would Bhow that tbe police, at the instigatlou of the girl's father, was proceedings to arrest the young man, when he was stopped by his father, who promised that if no notion was taken against his son he would send hi in out of lown. That gave rise to the story. Mr. Mack recounted tbe story of tbe afftir in the manner in which the defense insist it occurred, saying that thefeirl.who was a neighbor of theBtiurrand who knew Char .ey, went to tbe *tore on an errand for her mother: that on a pretext of getting what she wanted he assaulted her, shoving her over on a boi i«nd weighing the force of his body down on her. During the struggle, Mr. Mack said ihe girl's bat fell off, she beg«n to ery, and the lalntlffln this prosecution told her if she id n't cry he would give her somecandy. Under the law Mr. Mack insisted force was no part of the crime of rape on the gi r\ under the uge of twelve, and whether by force or free consent the law said it was rape. Mr. Mack nald it was true that the door of the room in which the affdr occurred was not closed. He Insisted that the defense would sliow a state of facts that would not only justify the impulse ot the father of tbe girl lu searching f«»r the young man with blood in his heart the impulse of Mr. Baur, the father, In edging his word tliMt bis son should pay tbe penalty of the offense by being sent oat of the town, but they would nhow a state of facts that would prove to every man on the jury that Baur had inteuded to do that 'O the glr wtiiith was a penitentiary offense. The defendant did it deny the publication. Whether he did or not amounted to little, as ltwMS ills property and be assumed the responsibility. The charge agulnst BauiS Mr. Mack said, was true. The defence would. Inslat that there was imieoent, improper and criminal conduct between young Baur aud tbe girl.

Mr. Baur's case was presented by Mr Satit. C. Davis, in substance as follows: He said he oould not conoelve'of a more in famous charge tnan the one made against Baur. If he wts guilty, be was a person unfit to live, and the father of the girl would be untitled in kilting him. But why didn't he jcill him? Why didnt be llow bim up and strangle him, as lie should have done if be believed him guilty. Why did the blood that the counsel said he had in his heart melt? The fact that he was dirilect In bis duty and th»t he ceased to look after him* is tbe best evidence In the worid that he knew it wasnt triit*. If the charge was true the father was a coward. The defense, Mr. Davis said, had admitted everything averred in the complaint—not only as to tbe facts, but the oourt would Instruct the jury as to maltoe also. The law says when a man pleads justification he pleads malice. Nothing will be heard excent to controvert. The oourt will tell tbe jury tnat malice is presumed. We don't have to show malice, said Mr. Davis, but if they do not show rea onab excuse for making the publication, malice is inferred. Tbe Supreme oourt has said so. Tbe parties may neon the bestof terms. A man's character is worth more than money, property. or even bis life. Hence tbe law is so particular. Mr. Davis denounced the charge and publication aa an outrage on a young man who stood second to none In social prominence, not only in this city but in the whole Mtnte. These gentlemen, said Mr. Davis, alluding to the defense, not only knew It but they said so in their article. He read a number of decisions in support of his position ttiat malice was admit ed when the complaint was admitted. Malloe, he said, was not synonymous with evil Intent but occurs the absence of legal excuse. Common ru'uor was pleaded by the defence. That doesut go In this oou.t nor any where else. It Is uodefense to this action, and he called the attention of the court to that fact. The court, said Mr. Davis, will instruct yon that a person has no more right to reiwat a falsehood than he has to manufacture it. The law bolus both alike, for the second does ju«t what the first does—circulate it. On the subject of maltoe, Mr. Davmsald the defenant showed it himself «fter the suit had been brought In addition to publishing squibs about little girls being raped, he had followed up the attorneys eugaaed by Baur to prosecute the suit, had aupli'd opprobious epithets to them tiirough his paper, and classed them, including young Baur himself, ax "The Gamt" and everything else he coula think of. He said the defense had enter the cowardly aud hypocritical plea of mitigation, bet before the? got through they would find that It wouldn't initlgutemuch. In reference to the plea of rumor and that the char had been previously published iu tbe Oasette, Mr. wis said he was glad that fact had been sutn.wted by the defense for it would give tbe ilaintiltachan-e to show that, although a ?rl»f xtatement of the case had appeared in tbe Gaaette the evening previously, one of the forre of editors of the paper had made a personal examination of tbe prem ees as soon afterwards as possible and bad satisfied himself of tbe nntruthfulne ot the charge thaisnch a thing wonld be attempted undersuch rtrmmstances, and had subsequently Mated iu t*ie paper, or by silence conceded it, thai the ch-uge was without foundation and untrue. Mr. Uavis said the defense must prove beyond reasonable doubt that a rape was a tempted jost the same as if tbey w^re prosecuting him under an indictment. Ttwy canYshow trivial circumstances. Tbey must Kh-w it beyond tbe reasonable doubt of tbe ni-y. tn regard to the statement that Mr. i-vnr, Sr., hal pledged to Mr. Dnenweg that hN bov should leave town. Mr. Davis amid Mr Baur. on the first presentation of tbe ease, waa Inclined to believe bis son guil'y, but afterwards,on teaming of the evidence in hi* favor, had stated that he sboold not lewe and that he would stand by htm. Mr. Davis said Charley Baur stayed in town and defied them with a 1 e«r shot guns and with ail the Mood in their eyes. He said there waa no blood. It was all blow. Tbe difference waa between Moart and Mow. Charley has never left town," declared Mr. Davis emphatically "and so help me God he never shall oo UMtaoeount."

The trial waa suspended after tbe opening argument* until yesterday afternoon to allow Senator Voorbees to lecture at Port Wayne. Yeatarday afternoon and this morning tbe defendant has been introducing evidence to prove tbat young Baur committed the act named. Having pleaded justification berotnee necessary to prove this bea doubt.

AMUSEMENTS.

The Rents-Stanley Novelty and Burlesque Company will appear at the Opera House, Tuesday evening. This organization gives a straight variety performance. The Troy (NT. Times says:

The entertainment was a gratifying surprise, as not «heslightest objectional feature W is presented Indeed, from the rise of the curtain to the final fall, there was not a "ingle thing to shock tbe most refined and ft*Odious while ihecnstumesof the ladies were no different from those enooumered in auy circus Tbe music was of a high order, while the singing as a whole was first elass. Bnuid new and wholesome jokes were perpetrated by the end men, and tbe dancing and variety business was never excelled. There was much to laugh at. and almost every former was enoored. Zacel, who Been with Barnum the past season, joined the company yesterday, and apoeared ast evening for tbe first time, walked a slack wire over the heads of the audience. The concluding piece, the new sensational burlesque, "Don Jose, tbe Spanish Dude." with Miss AlloeTownsend as Don Jose, was a fitting clowe to the entertainment. Se ect ons from Olivette and other late operas were in traduced, with good dancing, a mad bu 1, clowns on hoewbaok, and other funny things.

On Friday and Saturday eveninga of next week John Steson's oompany, led by Mr. James O'Neill wi.l produce Dumas' great play of Monte Cristo, with a star oast, the names of which appear in the advertisement elsewhere. Tbe Boston Herald says "Monte Cristo is one of tbe strongest plays now on tbe stage, and .when played as Mr. O Neill plays it, a matter of popular delight.

ORATORIO On'ST. PA VL. Yesterday afternoon tbe Evansville I Pbilharmonio Society—forty-five singers—under the lead of our old-time citl? sen~t Prof. Tinker, cams and at night joined our Oratorio Sooiety In producing Mendelssohn's grand oratorio of St. Paul, before an audience tbat nearly filled tbe lower floor of tbe Orera House. To speak of the work in detail would take more time than we have at com-1 mand for this issue. Its rendition was highly satisfactory to those with cultured ears, and the dramatic, majestic and I harmonious choruses delighted tbe ears those not versed in classical music. The solos were in good bands and elicited applause. From Evansville the soloists were Mr. McCoy, tenor Dr. Archer and Mr. Rankin, bassos Miss Caroline Schaefer, soprano, and Miss Hattle Durham, alto. Among our soloists were Mrs. Shide and Mrs. Crapo, Dan Davis, Mr. Alder and W. W. Byers. Miss Adde Kestner was at the piano In tbe first part, and Mrs. Haberly in the second. Prof, linker directed the first part and Prof. Shide tbe seoond.

The Evansville people were hospitably I entertained at the Terra Haute house by our Oratorio Society and at the close last nigbt bad W. H. Gilbert spread refreshments in tbe Opera Hall. As usual the I Oratorio Society ia out of pooket, but the members bave bad a delightful time.

THB Sisters of St. Frsnois moved in and occupied the new St. Anthony's Hospital on south Sixth street last Wednesday.' At two o'clock on New Years day there will be an informal opening, when addresses will be made by Col. R. W. Thompson and Senator Voorbees, and an opportunity given to view tbe building and tbe workings of this.noble charity. No special invitations bave been issued—every citizen will bave a welcome.
