NOTES AND OBSERVATIONS ON MATTERS AROUND TOWN.

The police commissioners have adopted •a rule by which the trials of charges made against policemen will hereafter be conducted privately, all but the in teres ted parties being excluded. The members of the board no doubt thought they were acting wisely when they adopted this rule, but it does not meet with anything like general approval This secret chamber business debars the reporters from the meetings, and the citizens who pay the policemen are thus prevented from knowing what has been done and is doing. The police department is a very important adjunct to the city of Terre Haute, but it should not be made so exclusive that a taxpayer can have no way of finding out what is being done.

The township canvass this year is un usually short, and the candidates have been on the run during the entire week The tickets are pretty evenly balanced and the raco will no doubt leacloseone If the Republicans don't go to sleep Monday and forget that it is election day, the entiro ticket can be elected. If there is one thing that will defeat any party it is the lack of good, vigorous workers at the polls. A defeat next Monday means a sot-back for a year, The Democrats are earnestly working for this prestige, and it behooves Republi cans to do something in this line them selves.

The junk dealers are- to have an ordinance passed for their particular benefit a very wise move. There are men engaged in this business hero, who, by their methods of doing business, aro encouraging thievery among lads who arc scarcely old enough to distinguish between right and wrong. They take all thoy can get and ask no questions, and some of their proteges aro now serving terms at the .State's expense. If an ordinance can

IJO

onactcd and enforced by

which tho practices of some of these doalers can bo regulated it will be of groat advantago, to the police in particular and tho public in genoral.

Ilev. Parry's remarks about tho six virtuous young men (attributed to Terre Haute, but which he donies), has led to the organization of a "Young Men's league," undor tho auspices of Rev. S. B. Town, of Centenary church. Torre Hauto can probably boast of as many temperate, virtuous young inon as any city of horsize, but even that statement does not leave any very remarkable margin of which to boast. Thoro is il field for a "Young Men's League," but the lMgu* hn» tome protty severe work on hand if it expects to accomplish good. A series of "Resolved, That our young mon should not visit bawdy houses," and "Resolved, That saloons should not bo patronized," will not do very much good. It will have to be done by personal ollbrts, and it is not very pleasaiit work, to say tho least.

Isn't this a good timo to agitate the question of. high license for the city of Terre Haute. Tho city of Freeport, Ills., with a population of a little over eight thousand, has just renewed fifteen thousand dollars' worth of licenses at tho rate of Jive hundred dollars a year. This is too great a sum to bo considered in Terro Haute, but a license of one hundred dollars would bring a handsome sum into the city treasurry, besides driving out of existence many of the low doggerios with which the city Is atllictod.

It is tntlnmtod that John K. Lamb's nomination is to bo withdrawn. With liHinl) ami the Labor I^ancc out of the /way, the question naturally arises, whose head will tho Argo editor belabor now?

The Express says another cocking main is to bo fought in this city soon botwoon Evansvillc and Terre Haute birds If thoro Is any so-called "sport" more brutal and disgusting than these eock1 ing mains, it has not yet boon discovered. It is low and demoralizing, and compared with it priao-fighting bocomes angelic. Those mains aro clearly a violation of the act defining cruelty to animals, and the police will lo lax in their tluly if they do not put a stop to thorn.

Those of the The Mail's readers who do •toot know how degrading a cock tight is*, •and do not care to learn by sight, will find a very eompleto description in very readable work, "Spain and the •Spaniards," to bo found in the public library. After reading it they will wontier with The Mail, how any intelligent man can enjoy such sport.

Major Smock who lives at Ellsworth, fivo miles north of hero, and ono of the best know cltizons of Ottor Crook township, met with a vory painful accident last Tuesday afternoon.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.

One 'of the most successful engagements ever played in our Opera House has been that of the Bennett A Moolton Company this week. Every night the house has been packed, and with one exception the card "standing room only has been displayed at the ticket office at an early hour each evening. It has been demonstrated that the manager who provides a good entertainment, one worthy of patronage, at cheap prices will make the most money. This com pany has put upon the stage in the very best style, as to scenery, costumes and appointments the best comic operas of the time. The comedy element of the company is far above the average of comic opera troupes. While there are none claiming to be stars as vocalists the music, as a whole, .is rendered very satisfactorily. Indeed the immense patron age has been well dggerved, and it is gratifying to learn that a return engagement has been made for a week in May. This afternoon the "Mikado" is given and to-night the season will close with the charming opera of "Olivette," rich in music and mirth provoking situations

Emma Abbott has cancelled her en gagement for Monday evening, probably on account of this week's cheap opera. She will come later in the season.

Maud Atkinson has also cancelled next week's engagement and there is nothing booked now for next week.

Murray and Murphy, with their play 'Our Irish Visitors," come on the 13th and Haverly's Minstrels on the 14th.

Effle Ellsler, playing "A Brave Woman" has cancelled on account of the death of her babv.

MUSICAL.

\mong the many testimonials in possession of Mr. Kussner from a number of our best known citizens also of neighboring towns ho certainly has reason to point with pride to the one in to days issue from the Rev. Mr. Corning.

This enterprising firm are building up a large business, based upon the following well known facts:

Both father and son had a factory training in piano and organ manufactories besides possessing the great advantage of being shilled musicians. Having the only fully equipped establishment in this city to do repairing on pianos and organs and other musical instruments the same as at a manufactory, they cor dially invite such interested to an inspection of their facilities also to see the work in constant process.

BEHOLD

The White Sewing Machine

In front of Hie Music store that used to be known as the Singer office, with a card hung on it inscribed as follows: "A New White. We break 'em up." Now my readers, this is exactly in keeping with their usual fraud and misrepresenting. They say this is a new White Machine, when the fact is, it is a machine been run for not less than eight or nine years, and any one who is familiar with the White machine knows that the White made at that time has no more the apperance of the New White than it has of the old Howe. And yet while this White has done several years of service, these competitors were aware that unless they disabled it in some manner, they would have a regiment of women wanting to buy it, and it must be badly disabled, so they broke its neck. They knew that just as long as the White*" could hold its head up it would sew and that they must avoid as they didn't want to part with it and the only way I can imagine that they could have come in possession with this White is that some poor woman had it, and in order that she might be enabled to get sewing to do to earn the bread for herself, and perhaps family, she was compelled to sacrifice her machine, pay some one ten or fifteen dollars for the privilege of doing the work, and it to be done at starvation prices, enough only to buy bread, and take a sewing machine of another make, that is much more inconvenient and harder running. Many and many a poor woman has been compelled to do likewise. No matter what kind of sewing machine she might happen to have, or how good it may have been, if it was not the kind that these fine specimens of humanity represented, it must be sacrificed, or they or their children might want for something to eat. To all this hundreds in this city are ready to bear witness, not because the White Sewing Machine, and others as well, would not do this work just as good and better, but because we are not in league with the factories that have this sewing no do.
