The sixth American chess congress oonoluded its labors in New York on Monday, after a session of two months. Curious, isn't it, that Buch a slow game should take in this feat country? Very mflbrent from base ball, horse racing, bicycle riding and the like. There is never.any telling how long it will take tbe.other fellow to make his move. He can spend a day or a week, thinxlng about it if he lilsee. Such a game teaches patience and steadies the nerves. It ought to be an excellent g£me tor Ameri cans to play "i ..-.-J?/'

Business generally is very qulei now throughout the country. But there is one notable exception. The demand for bicycles is so great that all the factories are behind with their orders, and are unable to make the machines as fast as they are wanted. The introduction of the new "safety" bicycle is largely responsible foi the increased demand. There is one decided advantage which bicycle has oeer a- horse—it doesn't eat Its head off. When not in use is costing nothing for its "keep." They are sow making "machines" on which three or four people can ride at onoe, and we may expect soon to see the family bicycle oapable of carrying husband, wife ahd.children on a Sunday afternoon ride into the country. Evidently the evolution of the bicycle has but fairly begun, and there is no telling what we may shortly see in that direction.

Indianapolis has established one fact beyond peradventure. It can boast of more niggardliness to the square inch than any city in the universe. The city oupposes the entire State to be tributary to it, and any effort on the part of another city to forge to the front is consld ered almost criminal. Terre Haute rebels against any attempt of the capital city to become lord and master of the entire State. The press has been down right mean in their treatment of this city's oil discovery. Indianapolis is cowardly and jealous, and the press whether knowingly or not, mirrors theee sentiments. Where is there another paper of the standing and reputation of any of the Indianapolis papers that would not have sent a special correspondent, as soon as oil was discovered, to write ujf an oil field only seventy miles away? The News became ashamed of itself this week and published a complimentary notice. The Journal gave space to an interview with a resident of that city who maliciously misrepresented matters or did not know what he was talking about. Sflfch lack of courtesy and fairness has left an impression which will not be forgotten. Pusillanimous Indianapolis.

There is an attempt being made to enforce the cow ordinance, but It ia only an attempt. The police have impounded a number of cows during the past week, but they area small number compared with those that wander about the streets. The only way to rigidly enforce the law is to employ a number of "cow catchers" to go about the city and drive stray oows to the pound. The police force can not properly enforce the ordinance unless extra men are put on and detailed for the purpose. There is a general disposition to submit to the ordinanoe. It was expected that there would be considerable complaint from the suburbs, but such has not been the case. Several men circulated a petition in the Vandalia shops this week protesting against the provisions of the ordinance being carried out. They met with no encouragement whatever. Owners of cows refused to sign the petition, ssying that those who bad *ws should take care of them. Insub triian localities the cows are herded, or pasture has ?^n engaged for them. Ti*es«i.rbe are ei-ying the ordinance aa "it wn districts, but let r.-. !-ivo compliance wlthtLe

News and Interviews*

Boys will be boys, but men should be linen. An incident occurred at tbeoourt house, this week, wbicl^is calculated to throw no credit on those who participated. A dog was lost from its owner and wandered to the top floor of the building. Employee having nothing else to do chased the frightened dog up and down the corridor. At last he sprang out of the window. His Injuries consisted of a broken leig. The owner of the dog was very much incensed when told of the incident. The attention of the Humane soddty tap ajao been ealled to the matter.

The terrific wind and hail storm whidi visited this city in *88 and did ao muoh damage to property, broke many windows at the Polytechnic and blew the tower out of plumb. It was not ser iously Impaired but it has been determined to pull the walls into their correct place. Dr. Mendenhall in apeaking of a very old method announced that it would be employed on the tower this summer. Walla were frequently straightened by the contraction of iron hundreds of years ago and this means has been determined upon. Iron rods will be fastened to the tower and anchored securely in the ground. Thrf rods will be from two adjacent sides. They will be put up during the summer and tightened by the means of nuts. When cold contracts the iron it will have the tendency to gradually pull the tower into place. The work will be in charge of Professor Howe.

The members of the Freshman class of the Polyteohnic banqueted at Bindley *hall on Wednesday night. The boys scarcely knew what great tilent tbeqlass possessed until they assembled in the banqueting ball. Arnold Layman, presi dent of the class, acted as toast-master. There were ten toaats responded to by members of the olass. Notably interesting was the response to the toast, "A Voyage to Australia," by Charles Voss kuehler, a student from Germany who hss reoently entered the lnstitutidn. The young ntan has been around the world and is an entertaining talker. His description of his journey from Italy to Sydney, Australia, was fascdnging, He also sang a song in ten dSffient languages. He is quite fluent in the n** of English. After the bafequet the hall was cleared. Songs were sung and various members of the class rendered selections on the piano, cornet, violin, zither, mandolin and banjo. A number of negro melodies were sung. Each member was called upon to exhibit his skill In some direction or other. One young man walked the length of the room on his hands. The boys were all in for a high old time and they had it It is the Intention ^o give a banquet annually.

During the past week or more a photographer has been engaged in photographing the school, ohildren of the various districts. Each grade was taken in group and a single oopy of the photograph sold for 26 cents. At one of the wards the pupils of one •room crowded to the windows while the- other rooms were photographed in the yard just outside. In oonsequenoe, in the b'adk ground of each picture-can be seen number of heads protruding from the windows. The teacher had placed the scholars on their good behavior but they did not obey her instructions. They were soundly lectured. Inasmuch as they had been photographed in all of the pictures they were recognized and there was "no gettin' out of. it." At another ward a boy persisted in making every one laugh when all had settled down for the picture. The teacher turned to scold him. "John, behave yourself Pahe ex claimed, frowning upon the mischevious boy. At that moment the picture was taken. When it was developed it was found that the most interesting mem ber of the group was the teacher whose frown and position had taken very lifelike. Some of the pupils would have been glad to have received a copy of the picture but It was decided to make another plate which was done several days later. ..i?

There has been considerable gossip this week concerning the removal of City Engineer Simpson and the appointment of Don Roberts. There Is no disposition to criticise the young appointee to a responsible position, but the action of the council in ousting

Is severely condemned. A bit of information hait leaked ont which places the action of the Democratic majority in a worse light than ever. It is asserted, and the Information Is reliable, that when the spring campaign was on Engineer Simpson wis assessed |90. He walked up and paid the snnqt "like a man." The money waa received and was used by the rfty committee. The contribution did not pay the price net upon th* 'engineer's head, for at the next council meeting ft was unceremoniously cut off.

Roberts will continue his studies at the Polytechnic until graduation, at which time he will take charge of his oIBoe. Dr. Roberts was a kicker and it is hinted that the Lamb crowd is endeavoring to bring him back into the fold. .«

The postman is one of the most popular individuals in the city and as his tripe are made regularly one soon becomes accustomed to seeing him at a oertain hour and looks for him to put in aflp appearance. The postman must be gQod natured although he is subjected to pleasantries when he delivers and chafing when he doee not. The ladies we especially charmed by the postman Who brings them letters.' They never think of his politics when there is prospect of receiving a letter. Some of the carriers on the force at present have many warm friends on their routes who dread that their letter carrier will be removed upon the appointment of a new postmaster- Several carriers have so established themselves in the friendship of others that petitions will be circulated fqr their retention. Numerous signatures will be found to be in a feminine hand, but even this appeal will not prevent the political ax from swinging.:

The Teaching of Girls.

FEW VALUABLE SUGGESTIONS REGARDING THE PROPER TRAINING OF YOUNG LADIES. ^4^

What shall the girls be taught? This question suggests itself to parents from the time the little daughter comes into their home and hearts, and recurs daily and perhaps hourly

long as she re

mains under the home roof. Not that girls are considered of more importance than boys but for boys there seems to be a certain few lines of education, from which they can choose, or from whioh a path can be chosen for them. With girls it is otherwise. Formerly there were generally speaking, two types of women good and bad but times have ohanged, and there are a score or more distinct lines of calling for womon some of which "differ only slightly from others, still others directly opposite, and the apostles and friends of each think their way the only proper way to educate a girl.J^K Hi W1

The idea that all education which renders woman self-sustaining and financially independent of the other sex, makes her at the same time unwomanly, coarse or masculine in nature, manner or looks, was exploded long ago. There are in every city in the United States, women who are not only self-supporting, but maintaining families or carrying on business, and are as gentle, and generous in their natures as are children. It is a great advantage to a woman to understand business methods, to possess a trade or profession which is or may be made money winning. Wealth may be inherited, but hereditary riches are in nine cases out of ten, short lived death hnay claim friends, and no woman can feel assured that she will not be oalled Upon to feed, clothe and otherwise maintain herself. $,

But there are some things whioh should enter into the education of every igirli The first requisite is a thorough knowledge of household affairs, which will render her a capable mistress of her home and efficient in controlling and dii$cting her help. A knowledge of the Jrue value of money Is as neoessary (if not more so) to women as to men. The ©14• SKi^ing^ that "A woman will throw

w:with a teaspoon, more

uoaBMart in at the door," is where aa In jXKfljit

i-and mother do b4 "W©»?

the buying, it is anpera \vs when she does refull value for that

&ich sB|jb expends. ^KxtHvaganoe, which is the result of ignoraMe'$f this value, has laid the foundation jfor many a domestic quarrel, and riilhed many homes. The man wlu labors -faithfully at his profession or trade feanhbt be indifferent when he feels that the.^ompenaation that labor brings Is wasWk. No matter how genorous his soul mify be or how freely he spends his money »indulge the tastes and gratify the desires ot wife and children, he enjoys the knowledge that the sum put in the hands of his wife is wisely not necessarily sparingly, .expended in short, that It goes for value received.

Enough of artl$tic knowledge and taste should be taught youog girls to enable them to attire themselves becomingly, and later to exercise good judgment in the selection of furniture, draperies, carpets, hangings, for their homes. A woman of artistic tastes can render home beautiful in a thousand inexpensive Ways.

The art of entertaining, which is in reality the art of graceful conversation, is another element of a finished woman's education. She who in her home receives her own and ber husband's friends with cerdial grace knowing how to introduce the subjects which will most interest them, and avoid ail which i&ight prove to them distasteful, ia wise indeed and there are few husbands who would not recognize in such a wife a treasure, and few guests woi^ld fail to appreciate such a hostess.

Music is in the home aa elsewhere an element of refinement, bringing loving souls into close companionship, and often dispelling sadness and anger therefore it were well if every woman were sufficiently learned in the science to aooompany her own voice or that of a friend, upon some one or more of the instruments which are found in almost every well-to-do household. She woold find It a pansoea for "blues," and of great service as a-peace-maker.

Girls abould be taught to read and converse about current events, and matters of general importance a taste for such subjects should be created. During courtship a young couple find much that ia of mutual interest. Their associates are usually the same, their aspirations and hopes for the future identical, conseqectly a difference in intellectual strength or in funds of Information, is not a hindrance to happiness. Bnt the household onoe set up, the uninformed wife after domestic matters are attended fS dfwt« «»r«w»lf to reading wintr «h, or iblish*"^ a I'm'* of r. ,nrK*'-:i©n with r»-r*iil neigh ron*, with wh'tin Oniy thegOSSJp of the vicinity is ^••hang'-l.

He Boons begins to discern the fret that he is leaving his wife, growing away from her as it were, and estrangement, begins. All this can be avoided by cultivating in daughters a taste for general reading, such as the daily and weekly, press, and the magazines furnish. By* this her mind is stored with the latest!! and best, and she is ever prepared to dis-» cuss with her husband subjects in which^ he may be interested, or suggest to himt new lines of thought, and thus reminds him that she is at his side his equal andE companion intellectually and socially, as well as morally.

Such women have lived, women whohavo aided their husbands in carrying out their cherished plans, have sy mpa-* thised and cheered them in days of ad-» versity, and when ruin stared them ini the faoe have suggested and carried out* means of deliveranoe.
