A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

Ben Blancbard, we have the best of authority for saying, is just over the border, in Mexico, and mails bis letters front El Paso, Texas.

Now is the delightful season of the year when tbe honest farmers find their way to tbe editor and endeavor to excel in lies abont monstrous corn and pumpkins.

Anew pstent medicine advertised is "Blancbard's Pills." Tbey are not half as bad to take as tbe Blancbard pill recently administered to a number of our people.

Tbe miners will probably strike and cause a further rise in tbe price of coal, and if tbe butobers and bakers should strike now, it would help to make life a burden. 1'

Tbe polytechnic students have taken the entire circle of front row balcony seats at tbe opera bouse to-night. This dazzling circle will certainly outshine the minstrels'diamonds.

Thanksgiving comes one week from next Thursday, and it is not too early to make up a list of things you should be thankful for. If you find tbe list meagre, be thankful tbat it is no worse.

Tbe City Marabal mourns tbe loss of bis office room, and kicks much in consequenoe. AH his duties are so light as to be almost an invisible quantity, the city would sustain no loss were be deprived of bis office in every sense of the word.

The murderer llenning has been taken back to RockvMIe, where he can get as fair a trial as be deserves. He will look well ornamenting one end of a stout rope, snd there's where he will bring up with a jerk, if he gets his just deserts.

Some enterprising councilman should try his band on framing a cow ordinance and trying to have it paused. It was understood at one time tbat several members of tbo present body favored such a measure, but like many others who preceded tbem have doubtless, un dergone a change of heart.

There Is a rumor iu the air tbat the rising generation in this locality is producing a large aud rapidly increasing number of poker players. Jt is also rumored that their first lessons are taken iu private club rootns, and that as soon as they become proficient they seek deeper waters where tbey can measure their skill with professlonsls.

Up to the hour of going to press tbe Prince of Finney county hsd not made his much talked-of million dollar sale in Mexico and tbe persons whom he left here "holding tbe bsg" are beginning to doubt—If tbey ever thought otherwise— that he will ever come back. Paddock, who filed tbe charge against blm, Is working out at Coal Bluff, but baa not dismissed the charge.

How strongly this world is wedded to novelty. People would rather bear ,new sermons tbat are poor than good ones tbat are old. They will have their new poetry and new stories, however Inferior the fresh productions are to those which are old but excellent, and they will have new fashions in dress and furniture until tbe circle of change has been run and tbey come back again to the fashions of tbe former times.

Our people were pretty well leotnred last night. Senator Foulke, of Wayne county, delivered a lecture on "Civil Service Reform," in tbe Normal assembly room, Rev. Corning lectured on Homan Art before tbe Chautauqua Circles, at the Congregational church, and Rev. Breeden, on invitation of the Jewish congregation, delivered a lecture on Jewish Character aod Progress," at tbe aynagogue in Tbe Mail building. As indicating the wonderful growth of liberality In cburcb and synagogue tbe latter was a notable event.

Speaking of tbe Charity Concert and the work of tbe Society for Organising Charity, it has been made evident tbat a great deal more money oan be raised for charitable purposes if tbe givers can have assurance that tbe money goes to the right places. We are told of an Incident which happened last winter, where a certain man, regarded as being close—Indeed stingy—was asked for assistance by a poorly clad women and would not listen to her appeal. As she left his office something moved him to look out of the window After her. She entered another place tad as me out with something in her hand which he knew to be mouey. It seemed to him she moved with more spirit, and be deterto follow her. Sue went directly to a

OA 7

baker's shop and soon emerged with a loaf of bread. Tbis excited tbe gentleman's curiosity still more, and be continued to follow her. See led him to a miserable hovel which she entered. The gentleman followed, and gained entrance to her] apartment. There he found a state of affairs it is needless to relate, and out of bis abundance be supplied not only immediate but coming wanta for noire time. The gentleman was msde happy—even more happy than tbe poor widow and her starving children.

What has become of the ordinsnoe licensing the saloons The effective manner in which tbe council disposed of it seems to have also disposed of its friends. Tbis is rather singular, as it was generally supposed to have the hearty support of the large majority ol citizens, who were exptcted to rise up in arms against tbe sction of their repre* sentatives. Not a word bus even been besrd from tbe temperance element on tbe subject. Probably its ftiends were not aa numerous as was supposed. Hie ordinance is a good tbing, but it will not pass at the preeent time, nor in tbe near future.

There has been bat a slight change in tbe deplorable atateof affairs existing at tbe nail works. Eight feeders went to work yesterday, msklng ten in all, but tbe nailers claim tbat it was done under a misunderstanding, and tbat they will cease work to-day. The proprietors hsve refused to send representatives to a conference with tbe strikers, and while other nail mills in tbe west are running and paying out thousands of dollars in wages Terre Haute is losing thousands by fsilure to run. Tbis would seem particularly a case in which arbitration might be employed to the advantage of both sides, and to the community in general. If tbe strike continues very much longer there will be more hardships In this city the coming wintei than we bave ever before witnessed.

City Attorney Foley, so his friends thought, started for Chicago a few days ago, but in some mysterious manner be suddenly turned up in Washington in company with Dr. Roberts. The object of this mission did not long remain in doubt. They represent tbat faction of tbe Democracy that wants to defeat the confirmation of the appointments of District Attorney Lamb and Postmaster Regan. They had an interview with the President, and are said to have presented blm with a formidable petition In support of their side of tbe case. As Senator Voorhees is at the present seat of war it is anticipated that times are quite lively, as the Senator is never backward iu espousing the cause of bis friends. Tbe petition would doubtlees prove interesting reading matter, and some enterprising correspondent will probably obtain possession of its contents and give them to an anxious public. Of course It is the old Jefferson Club rejuvenated, and reinforced by many of its former bitter enemies. In the past it proved a formidable enemy, and doubtless it thinks it can repeat its actions. In the meantime tbe Republlcsns sre resting very easy, and seem perfectly willing to allow matters to take their course.

Ben Blancbard's nsme continues to bob to the surface occasionally yet. When the assessor called upon him last April, Benjamin swore tbst be bsd on deposit, within or without this State, 99,500 tbat he had money loaned amounting to 95,000 that his other personal effects, such as furniture, amounted to 91,115, aud that his residue of credits amounted to 910,000 more, making a grand total of 925,615. With this statement tbe board of equalisation was very well pleased, and with such a sum he was charged. As soon as Ben disappeared it struck the treasurer that it would be tbe proper thing to levy on his personal effects and sell them for taxes, which he proceeded to do as soon aa he procured a certified copy of the assessment list. It appears that some time in September last Blancbard executed to A. C. Duddleston, one of his creditors, a bill of sale of hla personal property In tbe Main atreet office, and when tbe treasurer attempted to sell last Tuesday morning he was presented with a temporary restraining order issued by the judge of the Circuit court. When the case came up for hearing the purchaser put In the plea thst tbe assessment list had not been placed on tbe tax duplicate at tbe time he purchased it, consequently be hsd not sufficient notice of a lien, and waa an innocent purchaser also, that the tax duplicate had not been made out by tbe auditor and placed in tbe hands of the treasurer for collection at tbe time the levy waa made, consequently the letter official had no authority to collect the tax. On tbe first proposition the court beld the tax to be alien from April 1st, 1S83, and on the second held tbat tbe treasurer had no right to sell for taxes before be comas into possession of tbe tax duplicate. Tbe case will come up for final hearing on the 33d Inst.

In tbe meantime the county officials are by no means pleased with the turn

affairs have taken, and claim that if the decision holds good tbe county will lose thousands of dollars by it annually. It has always been the custom to collect taxes by distraint, whether tbe treasurer was in possession of tbe duplicate or not. Now if be is prevented from doing so any person can dispose of personal property subject to taxation, after April 1st and prior to the following January, and the State and County can whistle for their tsxes. Transient merchants can settle down here for a short time, compete with home dealers, and then move away without having tbe fear of tbe tax collector before bis eyes. While tbe property is subject to alien after April 1st, tbe owner can move away at his own sweet wiU and the treasurer is pow erless to prevent him, although the taxee may amount to buudreds or thousands of dollars. This is a very important question. The decision rendered the other day may be in strict accordance with the law, and if it ia the law caunot be amended too soon.

HOW TO HOLD HER

Tbe dancing season is sgsm nere, and again ia being agitated tbe propriety of round dances. It isn't only those who oppose dancing on moral and religious grounds who set their seal of condemnation on the waltz, the gallop and kindred dances. Tbey contend tbat tbe delicacy and modesty of a girl cannot fail to suffer if she permits herself to be swung sbout a crowded ballroom, her waist tightly encircled by the arm of a man, who, perhaps, may be no more than a casual acquaintance. Many who condemn such dances as essentially immodest and corruping are men of tbe world, whose own moral sense msy bsve been blunted, but who, perhaps for tbat very reason, are loath to trust tbe innocence of their daughters to the consideration of the average dancing man.

Allen Dodworth, the veteran dancing master, tells us, in bis treatise on "Dane* ing and its Relations to Education and Social Life," that it is vulgar and indelicate "to bold closely," and tbat tbe practice ougbt to be confined to "tbe uncultivated and vicious." "It ougbt to be frowned upon by tbe cultivated," exclaims Mr. DoJwortb, who contends thst a tight bold ip both destructive of modesty and fstal to tbe beauty and grace of the dance. After forty years of observation of social dancing in New York and Europe, be finds tbe "method of holding'' adopted by all "who may be notlceHble for refined manners and movement" to be the following: "The right hand of the gentleman should rest very gently upon the lady'aback, as near the wal»t as possible, so as not to remove the upward pressure of the elbow directly under the lady shoulder, ax this is the K«ly support, and must be held with sure, but gentle, firmness. The hand ou the back Hliould rest very lightly, and on every possible occasion should ra slightly raised, so that the air may pass between. Both pcrsonsshou'd bo slightly bent forward, from the hips upward, so that the shoulders may be only three or four inches apart, the distance Increasing downward this leaves both parties free In their limbs, so that any contact of persons or knees may be avoided, and shoulu be to avoided as a mostserloo# mistake. Thegentleman's left band, holding the lady's rUht, should bf extended downward in the line with the body, the handsthree or four inches distant from the person, the arms forming a gentle curve from the shoulders downward. No weight Is placed upon this arm all the guiding and changes must be governed by the elbow under the lady's arm. It will be found that this grouping will be perfectly modest in appearance, no more contact of persons occurring than in a lady taking a an a or a in

THE 80 DR FOLKS.

Wben tbe milk of human kindness turns sour, tbe acid which is produced is one of the worst in all creation. It bites and stings in every direction.

Sour folks begin the day in a bad humor. Before anybody has a chance to vex them, they begin to be vexed. They get out of bed sulky and grim as If tbey bad been offended or injured. The morning salutation is something half-way between a grunt and a groan. Breakfast is eaten either in silence or else with a few grumbles either as to tbe character of the eatables, the perverseness of tbe cook, or tbe unsatisfactory state of tbe weather. A day thus began is spoiled in tbe beginning, and and remains spoiled all day.

Soar folks are continually"*meeifag with disaster* which do not befall tbe sunshiny and cheery. Somebody has put too much salt or pepper in their soup, and they must tell everybody of the harden of sorrow which this error caused. They get their toes trodden on, their ribs elbowed, and their feelings hurt wherever they go. Tbey make tbe most of every alight tbey receive, and in telling the dismal story of it, insist tbat tbe slights were intentional and deliberate.

There ia nothing magnetic abont these soar folks. People learn to avoid them. Their advice is not aaked, nor is their company sought. Then tbe sour folks wonder why they are not wanted. Tbey lament their loneliness, and think tbe world is conspiring against tbem. So tbey become sourer aod yet more sour, until their faces are worse than funerals, and their presence leas desirable than that of a thunder-gust.

Oh, for a little sunshine to sweeten these sour folks!

Recent experiments bave shown that tbe first choice acuong colors of all children under 7 years of age is yellow.

AMUSEMENTS.

It was a large, a good audience and a more delighted one has seldom gathered in tbe Opera House than tbat entertained last nigbt by Alice Hsrrison and ber excellent company, describing how people can get into "Hot Water." There was a go and a push]on tbe psrt of every member of the talented party of stsge people that kept the people in front in tbe liveliest humor from the rising of tbe curtain to its final going down.

Thatcher, Primrose A West's minstrels will occnpy the stsge of the opera house to-night, and of course there will be a large gathering of our people who so delight in a good minstrel entertainment. This company has always been popular here. George Thatcher, George Primrose, William West, Billy Rice, and all tbe old favorites are still with them, and they have besides a number of new features, notably the Nelson family of wonderful European gymnasts, the trained dog show, and tbe very funny burlesque, "The Mikado," which is said to be the funniest tbing of the kind ever written. Tbe msnsgers in a card say: "We pledge you our word as managers and men tbat our present company is tbe Isrgeet and beet we ever bad, and if we do not give you tbe cleanest, cleverest and most refined minstrel entertainment ever given in Terre Haute we will cheerfully forego your further patronage for ever and all time. a

Threestrong attractions are booked for next week—"The Black Flag" on Tuesdsy evening, W. J. Scanlan in a new Irish play on Friday evening and Modjeaka on Saturday evening in ber new play of "Prince Zilab." "The Black Flag" to be gived on Tuesday evening bas been the success of both continents, having teen first produced st tbe Haymarket Theatre, London, England, running 100 nigbts, and again at tbe great Union Square Theatre, New York, running nine consecutive weeks to the capacity of the theatre, Tbe play is conspicuous for its clever commingling of pathos and humor. Its vivid cootrastingof tragedy and comedy its ingenious and startling realistic display of pictorial and mechanical effects the stjrong vein of humanity which runs through its story, and the capable maunef in which it is presented, con Stltute it a popular favorite with theatregoers, to all classes of whom it appeals with unerring directness.

W. J. Scan lan, who is a prime favorite here, cemes this season in anew drama, concerning which the Dramatic News says:

After a rather hard struggle J. Connor Roach has obtained a New York hearing, and an Irish drama from his pen was produced at the People's Theater last night. It is entitled "Shane-na-Lawn," and bas been accepted as a startling medium by that very b'igtit young comedian, W. J. Scanlan. In his work Mr. Roach discovers marked dramatic Instinct and a wholly original and most telling wit. The subject of "8haiie-na Lawn" is Interesting, the story Is well told, the characterisation Is entertaining, several thrilling situations are exploited, and the dialogue, which, after all, is of paramount consequence In an Irish diama,sparkles and scintillates with the products ol a natlvo Irish wit. There are tbe wealthy maiden and the poor lover, who are persecuted by a villain, and watched over by the faithful Hhane-na-Lawn, who finally frustrates all dastardly schemes, and effects a happy end Ing for all concerned, except, of course, the villain, who is properly punished. But we will not cavil at this, for it is, after all, the backbone of nine-tenths of all the fiction that was ever written. It is enough for us to know that "Shane-na-Lawn" is worthy of commendation and that a numerous audience received it at the Peopled Theater last night with every evidence of delight. Mr. Scanlan in the title role was accorded an ovation and repeatedly applauded throughout the evening. His songs were encored time snd sgaln, and tbe ever popular "Peek-a-Boo" was received with tumultuous Joy.

Every lady attending will receive a large souvenir photograph of the original harp of tbe poet Tom Moore, now the property of Geo. W. Childs, Philadelphia, which is kept in a glase case and highly prized by tbe owner.

SHOW FOLKS,

"Drofflic" says, in tbe American Bassr: "Keep off tbe stage," said I, "and measure tape for a living." He did so and to-day has 95,000 a year. A chum of his, however, would not be led, coax ed, cajoled or entreated. "Don't," says I, "don't go on the boards." But he

1

went. This dbdurated chum waa Nat Goodwin. Minnie Palmer would have married him at one time, but her moth er wouldn't let her, aod fair Minnie fretted and fumed and didn't forgive ber mother for years after. Wben she began to make so much money on ber own account tbat she had to carry 920, 000 of it round ber neck, in tbe character of a poor-bot-honeet-etcetera—then abe hogged herself at tbe thought of bow much ahe'd bave missed of it all if abe bad married and settled down. Well, Goodwin married Eliza Wetbersby, twelve years hla senior, as a business partasrahip. Folks thought it a good scheme. 8be was popular and making 9200 a week against bis 940. Five years later tbe wife baa rank into oblivion, and Goodwin is the attraction paramount. Things change, you see. Scanlan ia making a 91.000, while hia oldtime partner oe tbe variety stage, Crenin, is dragging out a desultory, meager, miserable existence aa a Jersey City barkeeper. Speaking abont tbe stage and its npa and downs, there to nothing so mercurial aa the variety stage. Good

V*£His

society knows little of tbis field of the drama except wbat tbey see of it iu tbe 'Rag Baby' sort of a play, but do you know that some of our most popular stars have graduated from the variety stage There's Lotta, who used to pick a banjo in tbe San Francisco dives Minnie Palmer, Goodwin, Emmet, Lillian Russell, Francis Wilson, Scanlan, Sol Smith Russell, Psullne Hall, Gns Williams, Myra Goodwin, and one of the most popular managers in New York to-day is an old variety man. Harry Miner is a character. He keep three theaters in Gotham, year in and year out, and his name ia a hearth-stone paradox."

WOMEN'S WATS.

Mrs. Langtry has dyed ber bair red, in obedience to a Parisian fashion. Iu Paris women wear higb-heeled shoes when tbey don't expect to walk, and low heels when they do.

It is said that Theresa Fair, the divorced wife of Senator Fair, will soon marry a newspaper man of Philadelphia.

Ultra fashionable young ladiee in New York are learning to knit stockings, using gold needles tipped with pearls.

Modjeska Is to receive a certainty of 910.000 for a return engagement of one week at tbe new Chicago Opera House.

Tbe important announcement is msde tbat Miss Psuliue Hall, tbe pet of the New York dudes, has paid 91*000 for a poodle.

Women are, It is said, gradually superseding French chefs in the great New York restaurants where tbe best and finest cooking is demanded.

Miss Fannie Mills, of Sandusky, O., wears No. 30 shoes, and tbey cost 955 a pair. Sbe is making a fortune exhibiting her feet in aNew York museum

A woman's colony is to be located in tbe San Luis Valley, Cal., and tbe colonists will engage in raising small fruits and domestic animals. No men will be admitted.

An Ohio girl has revived a breach of promise suit of forty years ago against General Manager Eckert, of tbe Western Union. Tbe poor thing's heart must be dreadfully lacerated by this time.

Mrs. W. T. Wbltmore, who recently died at Fairbury, IU., was tbe first, and, it is said, the only-. female member of tbe well-known Union League, a political organization formed during tbe war to assist tbe cause of tbe Union.

Tbe scheme to establish ladies' clubs iu Eastern oities bas failed. In one case 600 invitations were sent out and only two were accepted. Tbe ladies are n'ot suffering for club9, and, besides, it is necessary for someboiy to stay borne at nights and watch the bouse.

Mme. Patti has a small, cold and wrinkled band. Modjeska's bauds are round, long, and well formed they are generally in repoae. The hands of Clsra Morris are long, slender, rather wiry, and nervous. Her nails are pink and pretty, and the wrists are small and well turned. Mary Anderson bas a cold band that almost gives you a chill if touched. Margaret Mather's hauds, like herself, are small, graceful, and ef fective in gesture.

Tbe "coming woman," remarks a witty exchange, has arrived in a horse blanket, tucked, looped caught up in queer places by dog's-bead clasps or buckle, lashed across the thoracic cavity with knotted cords, and bnllt up so wonderfully as to crinolette that tbe common eye quails before a mystery so manifestly unsolvable. Sbe ia barely able to wobble abont under tbe enormous weight of tbat new "nigger-head" suit, but wears on ber face a smile of beatitude born of tbe consciousness tbat she is out in tbe first costume emanating from tbe hard-pressed brain of tbe inventor, which is very nearly used up, and is mncb to the envy of other people tbe extract copy of the moat hideoua plate ever seen in a feullleton of faabion. Faabion does not especially provide for stout ladies, bnt stout ladiee don't mind a little thing like this, and provide for themselves, going in for tbe newest kit da with a zest eqoslled only by their avoirdupoia. Tbe spectacle of a 200-pound hot-house blonde in a rag carpet over dress, a clothes-line chatelaine and a huge "Deer Stalker" hat, top heavy with deceased penguins, sea-gulls and nnnamable things, ia one which now startle tbe vision of tbe wondering oountrymsn who bas come to town to find out for his womenfolks wbat the fashionable female is wearing.

This week there waa beld in Pittsburg a national assemblage of skating-rink owners, called with a view of taking steps toward tbe elimination of the many abuses tbat find a place in the skatingrink. It is said to be tbe experience of tbe owners of these places tbat their patrons get lower in the scale of morals as tbsir rinks grow older.

LITTLE SERMONS.

Waste nothing, neither money, time nor talent. Good will, like a good name, is got by many actions, and lost by one.

There is more joy in partiug with paiu thau there is iu welcoming pleasure. The individual who entertains thought wouldn't always like a neighbor to see bis guest.

When man rubs against the world he either becomes calloused or exposes bis tenderness.

Let us with caution indulge the supposition tbat morality can be maintained without religion. 4*-" "Bring up a child in the way be should go," and then follow him and keep him him out of bad company.

In studying cbaractei, do not be blind to the shortcomings of a friend or tbe virtues of a bitter enemy.

Be pleassnt and kind to those around you. The man who stirs his cup with an icicle spoils tjie tea and chills his own own fingers.

Old age is tbo night of life, as night is tbe old age of the day. Still night is full of magnificence, and for many it is more brilliant than day.

Stories heard at mother's knee are never wholly forgotten. Tbey form a little spring tbat never quite dries up in our journey through scorching yesrs.

The man who is jeslous snd envious of bis neighbor's success has foes in bis heart who can bring more bitterness into bis life than can any outside enemy.

THE ELECTRIC LIGHT. Peoria is gushing over its electric light. After reading the extract below we are ajxious to look upon a like scene here in Terre Haute. Tbe Transcript says: "Our citizens ure proud of the electric light. Tbe dark and dang'-ious (If there be any dangerous) poitlons of the city are where It is seen «it its best. The change in ho gasoline districts Is as great as though some mighty power, with wave of a niHglcinu f* wand, pioclaimed, "I-nt there be light," and there WHslliilit.

The steeples ami towers of the churches, bathed in the mellow light look like old Rhenish castles kissed by the moon and further away from the towers the Ught shines down on the roofs with the effect of making them look as though covcred with snow.
