The Washington Post advocates the repeal of the civil service law, and suggests a vote of the people. Indiana never was much of a civil service State. The most-backs never took kindly to the law and Judging from the number of fellows who want office, there is reason to believe a goodly number of the other party care little for the law when there Is anything in sight.

Greater rascals are out of the penitentiary than some who are sent there. The other day William Neason, convict in the California State Prison, rescued a man who was drowning in the bay. The man gave him $20. Neason asked the warden to send the money to the Johnstown sufferers. The fact came to the Governor's knowledge, and a few days ago Neason received a free pardon.

It is estimated that General Grant's book has thus far netted his family about 1000,000. It will be recalled that while the sick man was trying to bring the work to completion with death staring htm in the face his strong motive was the hope that the book might result in some financial help to those he would leave behind him. How great would have been his Joy eould he have forseen the rich legacy he was bequeathing them! ^5

Cftauncey DePew, upon his return from Washington, made the following observation: "The president and Mr. Blaine are In perfect accord as between themselves, and both are In full accord with the other members of the cabinet the rumors about the president's ill health are equally unfounded and nonsensical. He is in perfect health and undisturbed by recent criticisms of his actions. He knows that he,has been elected president he knows what is expected of him, and he has perfect confi dence in his ability to fill the bill."

There is no money in the city treasury to meet the current expenses. The treasnrer ran out of funtfs this week and all payments were suspended. The finance committee could not borrow money to meet the present demands. Warrants drawn on the treasurer were stamped "Not paid for want of funds," and those employes of the city who could not wait for their money were compelled to dispose of the warrant*. The city treasurer in a oommunioation to the council on Tuesday night said: "I desire to call your attention to the fact that the present financial condition of the city is such as requires that immediate steps be taken to remedy it. The general fund is at present overdrawn, and as there have been no arrangements made to securo a loan to meet current expenses, it will be impossible to pay any warrants drawn on the general fund during the condition of affairs existing at present. Our financial condition is not such as should create any unnecessary alarm, from the fact that our total indebtedness is but f»#l,850, while we have ca*h on hand in all the special funds amounting to 177,254.33, which would leave our net Indebtedness about two hundred and ninety thousand dollars. The balance in special funds is not available with

ment of our financial condition in the near future Is good. It cannot be taken advantage of immediately. I would, therefore, recommend that in order to prevent the Impairment of our credit abroad and oar being placed in an embarrassing position, yon take tfce necessary steps for immediate relief." The necessary steps were not taken and as a result the office went begging for money. Something must be done or Terre Haute will low her financial standing.

On the other hand friends of Mrs. Roberts say she is entitled it, now that she is married. However, be the property matter as it may, the father was very much opposed to'his daughter receiving calls from the young men. Young Roberts was especially favored for some time. He was quite attentive to the fair young lady, but the paternal ancestor objected. He wrote to the young man requesting him to cease his attentions to his daughter, and forbidding him to call. Roberts laid the matter before his father, Dr. W. H. Roberts. The affair had blossomed into a love match before Tiernan attempted to nip it in the bud. It ripened by the lovers often meeting clandestinely at the resiof one of Miss Tiernan's friends. The elopement was planned and neatly carried out. They took the noon train for Indianapolis, were married and telegraphed the news to their parents. They then left for the north on a wedding trip. Young Roberts displayed remarkably good judgment In an Interview in Indianapolis. He said: "I am willing, to tell you everything I know, but therqt isn't much to say. to marry Miss Tiernan.

was an easy matter to get iway.fmrc Terre Haute. Miss Tiernan's father knew, I guess, that I was in love with Grace, but he didn't dream that we would elope. Why, he wouldn't even jJiow me to call on her at her horned" "Do you think your wife's parents wfll become reconciled to the marriage?" "I am not giving myself any uneasiness on that score. I am amply able to take care of myself, and Mr. Tiernan can do just as be pleases. I expect to make myself worthy of the lady I have married, and I feel that I have not done anything that I should be ashamed of."

Nearly everyone in this city smiled when they heard of the elopement. Both families apcepted the situation gracefully and the public in general did not censure the runaway match. ^...

Terre Haute contributed a runaway marriage to Indianapolis and the capital city furnished one for this city. Miss Marguerite Stumph has been visiting Miss Pet Finch for a week or more. Her lover, O. D. Bales, came over on the afternoon train on Thursday. The young lady's mother had arrived in the morning. The daughter met her sweetheart and late In the afternoon they ooncluded to marry. County clerk Warren was found,.the license procured and the knot tied by the Rev. Higgins. Mr. Bales stopped at the Terre Haute louse and returned to Indianapolis on the night train. After the ceremony the bride went to the residence of her friend and the news of her marriage was not broken to her mother until the following morning. ____

He said he had not looked up the matter but did not think there wus such a difference. The friction through a 100 mile pipe would be considerable and he doubted if there would be sufficient pressure at Indianapolis. However, such might be the case.

The most glorious part of the Fourth of July celebration la this city was the most glorious weather. While the temperature was warm it was not uncomfortably so and everyone took oomkm for an outing.

HOW TO CURE PIGEON TOES. "Get before a mirror in a dressingroom," is the advice given by an expert, "and walk toward It, stepping high and extending the leg straight out toward the glass at every step. They thus find when the foot lights how it crosses in upon the vertical plane whioh the other foot must reverse for its movements. They thus see how the legs are not hinged quite properly, and learn to move them in parallel planes. Stepping forward and backward toward the mirror will frequently correct pigeon-toed walking." _________________

'-u GIRLS' hIPS SPOILED. Many of the badly shaped mouths that are the sorrows of the young woman of to-day result from their being permitted when they were children to suck their fingers one of the prettiest women in town has coarse, thick Hps, that come from having been allowed when she was going to sleep to put her thumb in her mouth while another, whose lips protrude in the center and whose mouth is large, now blames her mother for allowing her to find consolation in her two forefingers. If persuasions will not break a child of this habit, then stronger means should be resorted to, and If necessary its hands should be tied together.

very unfortunate habit among

the school girls and which results In thickening the lips and making them super-sensitive, is the continual biting of the lower lip. The entire shape of the face is spoiled in this way, for when nature molded it there was not the in tention that the lower lip should be larger and a coarse look giveju to the band. .. -". I •.

AN ENCHANTING CREATURE. God never made among all the exqul' site things of creation a more lovely, en chanting, exquisite, admirable creature than a fresh, pure, charming young girl, full of unselfish thought for others, gentle, gracious and spotless. Not the milk-white and stately Jnne lilies are so radiant in their stainless candor as anon a girl no tropic blossom vies with her health-colored face beaming with the light of the sweet soul within her she is the flower and crown of humanity. Ah, my dear, fulfill this destiny waiting lor yon, and you will become to your household and the world one of the "angels that are to be," one of the "American girls" who shall help their country and their people from the stigma that—I say it with pain and regret— our own countrymen have cast upon those whom they should have been the first to defend!

BITS OF INFORMATION REGARDING SUMMER DREBS—SOMETHING ABOUT TRUE MODEST\

One of the most fetching of summer novelties is known in the trade as Swiss undervests made of silk in Van Dyke patterns. They are ornamented with elaborate crochet work, which is done in thQ Paris convents, though the mauufacturing proper Is carried on in Zurich. They range in price from $1.75 to $15 a garment, and they disappear with the traditional rapidity of hot cakes. It is understood that they represent the acme of hot weather luxury.

Seasonable hosiery, of course, claims a goodly share of attention. It is the current fad that one's hosiery must match the russet, tan and Suede shoes that are now epidemic. Men are' stricken with It as well as women.

In kid gloves the variety is startling. For street wear the Suede has the call in styles that require eight to twelve buttons. It is essential that they match the costume. If there is any one prevailing shade it is "mouse," though tne several shades of green obtain to a considerable extent, and the old rose is still seen on the dainty hands of all who would like to be suspected of affiliation with the Big Four (Hundred). For evening gloves fashion demands twenty to thirty buttons, with the odds clearly In favor of the twenty. Other colors and shades that are much affected are primrose, Nile, pinks, heliotrope and pearl, Blaok Suedes are worn exclusively for morning.

It should not be forgotten that black hosiery is laid aside so far as evening wear is concerned. The idea now is to match the dress, or the very least the slippers., ,,

Women who are personally or vicariously interested in the grave subject of self-support for women may find a hint of value in the following authentic narrative: A woman, left a widow with four small sons, bad the happy thought of sending the boys early one day In the spring to gather trailing arbutus, whioh grew profusely In the neighborhood, and to oiler it for sale to the passengers on the trains whieh stopped for water at the little station near which they lived. Tbey were very successful at this, and as the season went on they made a business of selling whatever flower might be in bloom. She took great pains to arrange tbem daintily with ferns and grasses, and they always had a ready sale. The boys got up early and scoured the woods and fields for their stock In trade, which kept the better for being gathered at sunrise she made them up in bouquets and breastknots, packed their stems carefully with wet moss, and by breakfast time the boys were ready to board the trains with their fresh, dewy blossoms. When the wild strawberry season arrived she made hundreds of little birch bark baskets, lined them with green leaves and filled them with the rosy fruit, carefully pioked and umbruised, and she sold as many of these as she could prepare Raspberries, blackberries and blueberries all sold well in their season, and even when the autumn came the little birch bark cups full of wintergTeen ber riessold quite as well as the golden-rod and Michaelmas daisies. She made a considerable sum of money last season by this trade, and says she owes all her success to ber taking pains to see that both flowers and fruit were fresh, unbruised and prettily arranged.

The modern sense of the beoomingness of white hair has given the world many beauties. The face seems to borrow a freshness, the eye a brilliancy, fiom white hair, which the marquis and marquise found out in the days of powder. Women who are so fortunate as to possess a luxuriant head of hair after it has turned white are always as handsome in age as in youth, and sometimes vastly handsomer.

Excursion costumes are made this summer in Foulard or gingham or sateen of any color. The skirts, straight In the back, are slightly draped at the side, and French waists or pretty blouses laid in fine plaits at the throat and belt and at the top and bottom of the sleeves complete the costume. Little cloth Jacket*, with facings of black watered silk, are made to wear with these suits, and the belts are sometimes of black watered silk. Occasionally the collars and euflk are of velvet. The color is whatever one pleases, for there are no rules on this point this year.

There is true modesty and there is false modesty. When the latter is not merely tho stupidest and cheapest effectation that deludes nobody, it is dangerous and often positively criminal. There are many things that young women ought to know and which, if they did know, they would regard as great, solemn truths, too sacred to be simpered over and giggled at. There is no safety in ignorance. That mother assumes unwarranted responsibility who leaves her innocent, growing girls to be educated in the mysteries of life by outsiders who are careless of their weal. In dealing with this subject a writer in the Woman's Journal says that constant rubbing cannot wear away the delicate tint of the sea shell, nor can the real purity of mind—the genuine modesty of refined womanhood—be more easily worn away. Mock modesty is twin to that oancerhearted virtue whioh consists in not being found out. The mock modest are social suspects, but after all they deoelve nobody.

SHOWS AND SHOW PEOPLE.

Among other accom pi laments Miss Ada Rehan Is a fine swimmer. The latest additions to the realistic drama have been heard from In London. In a spectacular piece oalled "Lost In Africa," the managers propose to introduce real camels and orang-outangs In the play. N

Mary Anderson can be seen every morning walking about Hampstead Heath, and later to be seen wending her way to the little Cathollo church for her morning devotion. ShQ Ji said to look much better.

Lawrence Barrett has sailed for Europe. He will spend some time at Crusnaoh, Germany, the water* of which plaoe, he Is assured, will cure the glandular swelling, due to tension, which he has long been troubled.

The figure# may be exagurated, but Tamagno Is undoubtedly the highest prioed tenor of the day. He is at present the foremost Italian singer In the heroic roles.

Henry Irving has made advances to Joseph Jefferson to oome to London and play In "Rip Van Winkle" at the Lyceum theatre. Mr. Irving says it is his ambition to place "Rip Van Winkle" upon the stage In a manner suitable to Its poetical and dramatic interests, and with Mr. Jefferson as the star it would be a revival of unprecidented brilliancy *nd success. It is said that Mr. Jefferson ha* thus far resisted all applications, saying he Is too lazy to cross the ocean.

Forrest on one occasion was rehearsing a tragedy and spoke to one of the "warriors" who entered in a slouching, undignified manner: "Don't oome in like that," he said, in a disgusted tone, "but like this," and, stepping into the wings, he showed him an impressive entrance. "But, Mr. Foirest," said the man, "if I could oome on like you, do you think I would be working for |8 a week?" "I* that all you get?" asked Forrest, indignantly. "Yes," answered the helmeted Thespian. "Well," exclaimed Forrest, walking away, come on as you blank please!" ____________________

AD VICE TO YO UNO MEN. Don't mistake notorioty for fame. Do not let others spend the money you earn.
