The legislature has three measures to engage its attention relative to the government of cities. The Curtis bill was especially to satisfy the ravenous Democracy of Indianapolis by creating more offices. The bill provided for a board of control to make contracts and have a general management of city affairs.

W. W. Boat right, of Sullivan, was arrested for counterfitting by a U. S. detective. Boatright, who. is quite well known here, was caught in tho act of making dollars in his room. He had molten metal and his molds, when he was covered with a revolver. Boatright gave away his secret to a questionable character in this city. She promised not to make any disclosures but did so to the officers. Boatright had promised her

of the counterfeit dollars, tie had delivered 16 of them to her a few days previous., The same day,'James Bell, colored was arrested for bigamy. He was suspected of being a counte: iter. He confessed and directed the oil: irs to the residence of one of his mot in-laws on south First street where his outfit of counterfeiting tools was secured. Both counterfeiters were taken to Indianapolis.

In speaking of the faults of Voni, a young lac\y well known in social cades said it was true that quite a large number of her sex are at times somewhat given to employing irreverent language. By-words are used extensively, but when occa-i-n requires stronger language or greater emphasis,

ucnss-words"

are used. In using such Inelegant ex

pressions, putting it mildly, the women do not carry it to the extent that their brothers attain. They are guarded in what they say and in secret couple their displeasure at some act or circumstance with unrefined language. The fair informant said the men would be surprised to know the various exclamations that the women mak6 use of. She cited a young lady who from all appearances was the embodiment of refinement. She possesses a sweet face, is vivacious and charming, and those who know her best consider her a model of grace and mod' esty. This young lady with all her sweetness of countenance, bewitching manner, charming conversation and captivating bearing, is given to using the name of the Savior as an exclamation when she is displeased at even trivial matters. Only a few of her intimate friends are aware of her habit, yet it is none the less to be blamed on this ac count. Another instance was cited. A young woman, intellectual and refined, whose favorite expression when angry is the "everlasting bonfire," as the greatest of dramatists put it. Other expres sions were named which are now and then used. While it is true that some drop these exclamations where their friends and the world do not hear, the charge cannot be made that any large proportion indulge in any such emphasis. The habit may possibly arise from laxity in governing the use of bywords. These wear out after a time and it is so natural and easy to pass to worse one. "Heavens!" exclaims many a fair maiden when she is greatly sur prised. She does not stop to consider how harshly it sounds and how irreverent it is. There are kindred expressions to the above but all are alike objectionable. How much the indulgence in any such questionable exclamations mars the beauty and admiration we have hitherto held for the fair one who chances to forget restraint upon her lips in this particular. It is all well enough to make war upon the use of slang, After the victory has been won, let the warfare be carried farther and overcome other expressions which cannot be class' ed as slang.

AMUSEMENTS.

THE DALYS IN VACATION.

Next Monday evening. The Dalys will appear in their orginal success "Vacation or Harvard vs. Yale" at Nay lor's opera house. Of their performance, the Denver Times, says: "The brightest, cheeriest, and funniest athletic comedy ever seen is "Vacation," as presented by the Dalys at the opera house this week. The house was crowded, and everybody and his wife laughed 'fit to kill' from first to last. The plot of 'Vacation' is neither new nor fine but inasmuch as the play depends for success on the manner of its performance .rather than the matter, the plot doesn't count for anything. There are five of the Daly sand they are all daisies. They

Can

better, run faster, play more pranks, and provpke more merriment in a given time than any other ten people on the road. They are marvels Of strength, grace ^nd agility. There is not a bad performer id the company and that is very high praise the way companies run nowadays. All the iadies are handsome and as full of fun

so many pet kittens. We will

not attempt to describe any of the features of the performance, because we know that anyhow who likes fun that is clean aad hearty will see "Vacation" before the week is over. We can honestly commend it as the funniest, thing seen on this stage for years."

What will prove to be the dramatic event of the present theatrical season at Naj-lor's opera house will be the engagement of A. M. Palmer's own company from the Madisoi^quare theatre, New York, on WedneTOlay evening of next week, presenting Sir. Chas. Young's famous play "Jim, the Penman," Tne play has in every way proven itself the most remarkable and successful play which A. M. Palmer has presented during his seventeen years of management in New York city. The record of the drama in England and America, both from an artistic and financial point of view, has not been equalled by any other dramatic work of the present generation. Its first presentation four years ago in London immediately placed its authors Sir Charles Young, in the first rank of modern playwrights and brought him both fame and fortune. After a run*of two years in that city, the play, which had been previously purchased by Mr. Palmer, was transfered to the stage of the Madison Square Theatre, New York and not only crowded that place of amusement at each performance during the entire theatrical, year, but also ran well Into the second season, making it the most successful production ever seen at that popular playhouse. It was afterward presented for twelve weeks in Boston and it has since been seen for a length of time, varying from one to three months, in all the principal cities in the country. Its success everywhere has been instantaneous, brilliant and complete. It has excited great public comment, and the play itself and the absorbing story upon which It has been received is dountless due to the fact that it appeals strongly to every class of society, since its motives is drawn from the most pregnant depths of human nature, and its slot compasses the wide ground of huiiMa experience. From the rrrred f^nncUiion
