TERRE HAUTE, NOV. 8, 1889,

Thos. A. Edison's sixteen-year-old daughter is said to be wonderfully bright. Perhaps we shall now have woman inventor after all.

It is said that 164 Congressman have promised to vote for Chicago for the world's fair. If this be true it practically settles the matter in favor of the Lake City. We haye no fault to find with the decision. It has been estimated that the fair of 1892 will be worth two hundred million dollars to the city in which it is held. That may be somewhat exaggerated but it certainly will be of immense VRlue. _______________

Mhxionaire Huntington's daughter is finally and let us hope, happily married to Prince Hatzfoldt, who was paid $3,000,000 for his title—that being the sum settled upon his wife, which is, perhaps, the same thing. Well, the country can probably spare this heavily-gilded girl better than many a sweet and pretty one who hasn't anything but a oalioa gown to her name.

Ground has already been broken for Dr. Talmage's new church in the place of the one recently burned. The ground cost $120,000 and a beautiful and commodious structure will no doubt be placed upon it. Meantime the doctor has started on his trip to Palestine and the question is whether the vast congregation to which the newspapers preach shall have his weekly sermon in tho interim, for it matters little whether lie preaches in the Brooklyn Tabernacle so long as his sermons goto the millions through the newspapers.

THOHK cyphering Second Adventist people have been disappointed once more. They had figured out that Gabriel's trump would certainly blow on Friday, Oct. 25, and they had risen early in order to be in good time for the grand spectacle. But, alas, there was no more sound of tho heavenly trumpet than there was in 1843, or than there will be at tho next date which may be selected for the second coming, for they will doubtloss sharpen their pencils and go on figuring again, In spite of the scriptural declaration that no man knoweth the day or the hour.

Tn the November Forum Mr. Shearman continues the subject of colossal fortunes in the United States, with a list of owners of more than twenty millions each. The list, though quite eonsidfrablo, is doubtless far from complete. He also states that the average annual income of the 100 richest Englishmen is $460,000, while that of the 100 richest Amerioans is from $1,200,000 to $1,500,000 apiece. Those figures aro Interesting and we hope Mr. Shearman will continue to pursue this subject. There is substance for thought in it.

IT is to be hoped (as is probably the case) that there is no truth in the report from Washington that E. W. Halford is oontpolled by falling health to resign his post as private secretary to the President. "Llge", never superabundantly robust, has been on the sick list for several week*, but he hopes soon to be restored and ready for active duty at the White House. Having secured relief from the tolls of daily journalism for a brief season, It would be too bad if the now position should prove more burdensome than the old. "Lige" is probably only having a tussle with Washington malaria, which is of a worse quality than that of the White river valley—the kind he was brought up on,—and this aeoounts for his being temporarily knocked out of the ring.

A SORROWFUL tale oomes from North Dakota where the far men are suffering for want of fuel and the neeeeeariee of life on the verge of winter. Three crop tailures on account of drouth are the cause of the trouble. It is estimated that 20,000 families, representing 100,000 people, are destitute and must suffer keenly through the long winter that is near at hand unless food, ok)thing and fuel be forthcoming. Many are leaving the country, utterly discouraged by the hard luck that has overtaken them. But the majority are not able to get away, or do not know where to go to better their oondition, and these must be provided for from the full granaries of the more favored parts of the country. The work of relief, begun in St. Paul and Minneapolis, should extend to other parts of the country.

Mr. Chaunc«t Dktkw, who, if he doesn't know more about everything than anybody else certainly talks more, baa been saying recently that our fashionable girls are not eduoated or rather Mr. Depew says that such la the opinion of Europeans on the subject of American girls. But whoever says it the statement is probably true enough. American fashionable girls are not prone to wearinees of the flesh from over-atody, being too fond of the ball room and Its accessories. But this does not prove that there are not a greet many educated girls in the United atatea,

or

that

the

higher education of our women i* not increasing. Undoubtedly it ia. There is a larger proportion of American girl* in the higher schools and collegea now ever before, and their scholarship will average full as high as that of the male students.

THE FARMER'S TR UST. The proposed combination of the wheat growers of the Mississippi valley may have far-reaching consequences if tho scheme can be fully carried ont. The plan contemplates a union of all the wheat growers for the purpose of protecting the American market by holding back the surplus of each year's crop, which amounts to only one-twelfth of the entire product and it is this onetwelfth dumped upon a market already supplied which puts it in the power of Europe to fix the price of wheat in the United States. It is argued that if this surplus oe held by the farmers the market will not be oyerstocked and a fair price can be obtained for their wheat. In other words, if the farmer who raises 300 bushels of wheat will keep back the small amount of 25 bushels, the wheat growers will be masters of the situation and can fix the price of their grain. They can, so it is claimed, get much more in this way for the eleven-twelfths they will sell than they now get for their entire product, because there would be a legitimate home demand for so much of their crop and it would not have to be sold at the ruinous prices of an overstocked market.

The plan seems to some extent plausible, but it will be hard to carry out, owing to the difficulty of uniting all the wheat growers of the country, widely separated as they are, into a compact working body.

THE NEW ELDORADO. An interesting book recently issued is Mr. Ballou's "New Eldorado," from the press of Houghton, Mifflin & Co., Boston. It deals with Alaska, our great northern province, which attracted some 2,000 visitors from the United States the past summer and is a land of marvellous interest in many ways. We are only beginning to see what a grand purchase Mr. Sewart made in the purchase of this enormous territory. A country which has the richest gold mine in the world, (for which sixteen million dollars, twice the entire purchase price of Alaska, have been refused,) which produces over 100,000 seal skins a year, besides several times that number of beaver, otter, fox and other valuable furs, whose growth of magnificent timber would supply the continent for half a century and whose waters are so crowded with salmon and other food fishes that they can be literally shoveled out, to say nothing of many minor wealth-producing resources—such a territory must be of immense financial value to the United States and of continuously growing interest to our people. sj gjt1

And aside from these material allots, Alaska has scenery that can challenge the world for comparison. There are glaciers vaster than those of all Switzerland put together. The Muir glacier is three miles wide, forty long, and three hundred feet high where it empties into the sea with a continual roar of its falling fragments. The mountains, among the highest in the world rise clear from the sea, thus disclosing their full majesty. To this sublimity of nature add the impressive effect of the midnight sun of these arctic latitudes, evening merging into morning, and we have a combination of natural splendors that can hardly be equalled anywhere else in the world.

This book should be of wide interest to our people and will meet with the more hearty welcome because so little is known of our great northern territory.

A CO-OPERATIVE COMMONWEALTH. The October number of the Nationalist gives an account of the Kaweah Colony in Fulare county, California, which is founded essentially on the principles laid down in Edward Bellamy's "Looking Backward." The settlement has been in operation for about three years and is claimed to be a success. The tract of land selected for the development, while rich in reeouroee of timber, marble and a capacity for fruit growing, is in a mountainous district, which required the building of a costly road through canons, ravines and over rocky peaks for a distance of twenty miles. This road, the finest in the State, ia now nearly completed, and the oolonists will soon begin to reap a substantial reward for their toil.

Speaking of the moral effects of this system of living, the writer says that during three years of the hardest toil and roughest pioneer work, the first overt act has yet to be recorded. "Among the families the amenities of a true social condition are maintained. Each one feels the responsibility of upholding the social integrity of the colony and as a result an inoffensive and charming rivalry exists $o outdo the other in neighborly acta."

v*

But among the children the beat effects of the new order are seen. Corporal punishment is never resorted to and even reproof is aeldom needed. "If a wrong has boen done the child la shown his error, his intelligence and sense of justioe Is appealed to and as a rule 1M frankly acknowledges his fault he Is not degraded by punishment and la therefore on hie honor bound not to repeat the offense. This system In the training of children in connection with the example of their elders has had a remarkable effect on their deportment towards eeoh other the fretting, quarreling and crying so common in everyday life beooming unknown.**

The exchanges of the colony are effected by a system of time-checks, which are used as money In all tranaactlona between Individual members of the colony. The minute takes the place of the cent aa the unit of value.

Tbe continued operation of the Kawe&h colony should be a matter of considerable interest to thoee looking toward tbe nationalisation of industry and to the public generally. Its permanent suooeas

would be a practical argument in favor of the proposed system, although its failure could hardly be regarded as conclusive against it.

ABOUT WOMEN.

"If a woman bates you, you may be sure she Las loved you, loves you now, or will love you."—[Fliegende Blatter.

An ex-Russian officer urges the United Statee to postpone its world's fair, as all Europe will be engaged in war in 1892, and will have no time to visit.

There will be many new girls in Washington society this winter. Along with the debutantes are Miss Hattie Blaine, Miss Wanamaker, Miss Fuller, Miss Harlan and Hiss Cambell, all of whom will look at life through the rosiest view possible.

Fourteen young women are enrolled in a law school recently opened in New York. Since 1886 the bar of New York haa been open to women, but the school* have shut them out. The head of the new institution is a graduate of the law school of the university of Zurich, Switzerland. ^'1

Mrs. Clem Studebaker's injuries, received while heroically rescuing her grandchild from the burning home in South Bend, a short time ago, will probably result in permanent disfigurement of the face. She suffers greatly, having been badly burned about the face, neck and arms.

Miss Vinnle Davis, daughter of Jefferson Davis, Railed for Europe last Tuesday, the guest of Mrs. Joseph Pulitzer. She will spend six months abroad in search of health. James Red path is now visiting Jefferson Davis. Collaboration in some literary work is probably the cause." "'fj

A woman's club, having at its Head Mrs. Pierpont Morgan, is soon to be established in New York with a membership of 500, and annual dues of $10a year. One of the objects of the club will be to get even with their husbands and stay out all night. The club is to have a restaurant and bedroom for the benfit of country members.

Modjeska is fond of entertainments various sorts. She really goes more into society in New York than anyone of the actresses who are now identified with the American stage, and her choice of entertainments is supper after the play. She attends a great many of them at Delmonicois, and gives about a dozen big ones during the season herself. The people are usually personal friends of the actress, and nothing is known about it in the newspapers, because she sedulously avoids public mention of them. In this she differs somewhat from some of the other feminine members of the profession.

Mrs. W. A. Cockran, of Shelbyville, 111., has finally succeeded in perfecting her invention which is to do away |th the servioes of a servant in a portion of the household work, and it will soon be placed on the market. It is an Intricate machine designed to wash dishes, and is guaranteed to wash the finest china without breaking, or even nicking it, which is something that cannot be said of the average servant girl. The machine is of various sizes for family use and for hotel purposes, and it is also made for hand and steam power. It is capable of washing, scalding^ rinsing and drying from five to twenty dozen dishes of all shapes and sizes in two minutes, tbe numbertf course depending on the size of the machine,

ECONOMY IN SHOPPING.

PLAN THE CAMPAIGN THOROUGH LY BEFORE LEAVING HOME.

Avoid the 'Evanescent Style#— Hints Concerning tbe Selection of Goodit and Fatterns—How to Profit by tfte Special

Prices Offered on "Bargain Days."

"There area few fundamental principles to be observed in shopping which every woman ought to know, for every woman is a shopped, to a greater or less degree. She should know, for instance, and know exactly, bow much money it is proper and prudent to spend for a certain article. To be sure, she is under do moral obligation to spend the sum she ha* set aside for that particular purpose if she has the good fortune to find it can be bought cheaper but, the limit being decided upon, she should have the good sense and moral courage not to exceed it. In all probability her figures have been determined upon with reference to other needs, and if they are disregarded in one purchase (mother will have to be dispensed with or its appropriation will be curtailed.

It is a weakness of which no woman should to guilty to allow herself to be talked into the purchase of goods which are beyond her means by the salesman whose business and object it is to sell the goods. A sensible wo man will flee temptation at the first warning She will not even look at goods she ^annot afford to buy for, even if she knows she will not purchase, she also knows that tbe con trast between the rich fabrics and those hum ble ones she has to take will, unconsciously, produce dissatisfaction.

Another very important point for the economical shopper, bt» her purse plethoric or slender, is to know liefore she leaves home exactly how much material sh& requires. To enter a store, see something that suits, and tljen make a rapid mental calculation, assisted by an appeal to tho salesman, is a wretched practice, for there never yet was a salesman who did not suggest more than an ample pab tern. On the paper patterns that are in such vogue, and are so useful to many amateurs, the quantity set down is usually more than enough, and an economical cutter can always do with less. The liberal quantity scheduled on tbe pattern allows for inexperience and wastefulness on tbe part of the amateur dressmaker.

Tho only really accurate and economical way is to measure the pattern after purchas ing it, and upon the piano top or dining room table arrange aud rearrange the parts, dove tailing and taking overy possible advantage of peculiar shaped pieces until the minimum quantity is reached, always, of course, bear ing in mind that a larger quantity of materials with a positive right and wrong side or plaided design, will be required than of plain goods. Many ladies who have no need of such ecouomy, from simply a financial point of view, encourage and practice it on principle, while in buying a really expensive dress tbe saving is of too great consequence to ueed recommendation.

In selecting material for a dress many things should be taken into consideration. It must be "within the limit it should be becoming it certainly should be in style, it ought to be durable it is often desirable to look forward to the time when "turning" will be in order and it is also very often desirable that it should at some future day dye well. It must not crinkle when used, or wrinkle when damp it should not "crack" or shrink or fade. Therefore, in buying a drew the economical woman will select the real stand trd materials uine times out of ten—cash meres, serges, flannels or cloths and the like, passing by the beautiful and less serviceable "uovelties" where fashions come and go.

For women who pursue an outdoor avoca lion a very different styleof toilet is required than for the lady of leisure at home, but neither need be or should be anything but suitable and economical

POINTS FOB "BARGAIN DATS." Our merchants are, at certain times, in the habit of having what they call "bargain days," that is, days upon which they sell oertain lines of goods at reduced prices. These days, in first class establishments, are god seuds to the economical buyer, as are also the sales of remnants and fragments of stock which it is desirable to be rid of before filling the counters with newer goods.

Your choice among the thousands of remnants offered you will be a matter of wise judgment, cheap though they are, and you should not be more tempted to buy them merely because they are cheap than you were earlier in the season. If you cannot see how and when and where you will make use of them, they will be dear to yon at any price. But the point having been thoroughly established that the close, slavish following of evanescent style is totally incompatible with economy, tbe wise woman and prudent buyer will call upon her good judgment and refined choice in the matter of these bargains, and select those that are quiet and unconspicuous in color and pattern, assured that by so doing she will not fail of being ladylike and in good style.

There are standard styles that have never been out of fashion, but because each season brings itsown trivial variation in the tone of a color, the infinitesimal width of a stripe or sue of a dot, there is a depreciation of salable value in the experienced eyes of the dealer, while to any one else the value is just ss great

In fact, the most economical and convenient time for making up all common dresses is at a season when mors elaborate sewing ia not on hand. Therefore in buying now for next season it will be safe to select say of the dmpler styles of goods, and thus be sure to be in "style" when the season oomes around again. Narrow stripes, fine checks, small dots are all unremarkable and, not coming within range of arbitrary fashions, are never oat of date, and no one need be ashamed 0# wearing them.

Tbe habit of making a Ust every season of the things' absolutely nesded, with their probable cost, will asust an eooqpmical shopper very much in making her purchases and dispose her to shun showy, so called bargains, anlsM she sees one that will supply some item on her list or can wisely and profitably bs substituted Cor something therein.—New York Star.
