A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

TERRE HAUTE, JAN. 11, 1890.

IT is said the New York Ledger spent 150,000 for advertising that paper during the month of December. Advertising seems to pay the Ledger.

A HEN'S egg is a little thing, truly. Yet it is said the value-of the egg crop in this country last year was equal to that of all the iron made by all the blast furnaces. No wonder the hen cackles when she has laid her egg. Even the old rooster can be excused for joining in on the chorus.

IT may be the Russian grippe, or some other kind. We are not particular what name it goes by. But it is a villainous thing whatever be its name or its pedigree. Most of us have had a tussle with It and we don't care for a second round. We got knocked out in fino style at the first onset. One dose of grippe is enough, thank you.

THE investment of English money in American enterprises during the last year and a half is estimated at more than 200 million dollars. Of this amount nearly seventy millions are put down to the account of breweries—an incredible sum it would seem to be invested in a single line of manufacturing. It is very evident that John Bull believes in beer, whether used in England or America.

A TAMi»E recently published shows the average earnings of operators in the manufacturing establishments of Massachusetts during the year 1888 to have been §402.45. It is suggestive that the highest wages, 9688, were earned in the liquor business and the lowest, $277, in buttons and dress trimmings. Taken as a whole there is little indication in the figures that Massachusetts operators are on the highway to miliionaircdom.

LIKK many other public men of onerous duties, Speaker Reed, of the House of Representatives, believes in the restful effects of good fiction. It is said that a good novel is his constant companion, the few pages which ho snatches at intervals of leisure relieving his weariness of mind. Undoubtedly a reasonable amount of fiction is as good for busy and hard worked people as an excess of novel reading is bad for people who don't have anything to do.

IT SCORNS TO,BE^ St^remcopical investigation that Via grippe" ifc not an ordinary cold, but is really caused by a disagreeable though active little animal with a hairy appendage which infests the mucous membrane and irritates it dreadfully with his hair brush. The inhalation of menthol and camphor kills him off and the taking of quinine is also good for him, or rather, for his victim. If dealt with vigorously the little vagrant can be disposed of in three or four days. If allowed to run "his course unmedlcated he is good for a month of torment.

IT has long been known that poetry is not a profitable kind of literature. Byron and Scott, it is true, made money out of their rhymes but they were exceptions. Many of the most famous poems of the world were barren of anything but fame to their authors In later times, however, there has been an impression that the puet did not fare so badly. It Is probably incorrect. The receipts of a very well known young poet, who succeeded in disposing of 38 poems to the leading magazines during 1889. have been figured up and are found to amount to precisely $306.25. And it is not every poet who can sell 38 poems in a year either.

OHIO Democracy has fallen upon evil lays. When it comes to the selection of a candidate for United States Senator It appears to be mainly a question ol money. Standard Oil Payne is to be succeeded by Col. Brice, the notorious millionaire railroad speculator. Ability, character, high social or moral standing count for nothing. The fellow gets the nomination who has the largest pile to buy it with. Fortunately all the States are not like Ohio in this respect or the prospect for successful republican government would be slim. It is bad enough as It is. There are entirely too many very rich men in the upppr house of Congress. The people should set themselves firmly against this undemocratic and dangerous innovation.

THERE IS nothing in the world more beautiful than flowers and the love for them la to be commanded. Nothing could be more elevating or refining than their presence at every festal occasion. But some of the rich nabobs at Washington are spoiling a beautiful custom by their lavish display. When a man banks his house with flowers at a cost of $5,000, as Congressman Flower, of New York, is said to have done at the marriage of his daughter recently, he simply shows a purpose to outdo everyone else in the matter of display and evinces an execrable taste. The cabinet members who spent less than $100 for New Year's flowers displayed much better taste and judgment. The sum was sufficient to decorate their homes nicely and that was better than overloading them for the sake of showing how much they could spend.

THEstealings of the yearl889, as tabu lated from the daily reports in the newspapers, amount to the enormous aggregate of 19,500,000 in round numbers. The list purports to include the thefts of public and private employers, but it is not probably complete. Many of the less conspicious cases doubtless escaped notice. The sums stolen run all the way from a few hundreds to §700,000 and in one case to 01,000,000. A peculiar feature of these statistics is the fact that only about one million of that total amount was taken by public officials. In other words about 90 per cent, of the stealing was from banks and other private concerns. Relatively the fact speaks well for our public officers as a body, but the total exhibit is a sad commentary upon our national honesty Doubtless if we had a treaty with England which would send our defaulters back from Canada there would not be half the stealing that now exists. v-

MDCCCLXXX1X.

The year upon which we have just entered makes the beginning of the last decade of the Nineteenth century. In that respect it is notable. Nine decades of the great century have passed, but one remains. In extent of industrial development at least it has been the greatest of centuries. Most of the applications oi

LOOKING FOR WARD.

Edward Bellamy, in his famous and charming story, shows the worst effect of the present competitive system, of industry to be the constant anxiety about the morrow. The spectre of fear and dread he pictures as ever standing by the elbow of every toiler for daily bread.

There is no doubt of the truth of this. It is never the burden of one day or one week that is more than we can bear, but the burdens of many days and many weeks, not of the past which have been borne, but the unborn burdens of the future, drawn together and rolled upon hs great,rcrushing lo«i before which we faint and stagger. Nor is it yet the burden so much as tho uncertainty that we shall have the burden that most harrasses us. Heavy as the load has been to carry, we dread lest it may be taken from us altogether. I

Rut this tendency is no new thing. It existed In Gallllee two thousand years ago when the divine master taught the people, "take no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought of the things of itself," that "sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof," and "give us this day our daily bread." One day at a time was enough for Him shall it not also be enough for us? The infinite folly of worrying over things that may never happen at all, of "sighting trouble at long range," is only equalled by the conduct of little children quarrelling over silks and diamonds they are going to have when they are grown. We who are older say, "wait until you get them, foolish children," and straightway become as foolish they, grieving ourselves with anxious looking forward into the unknown things ahead.

SA TICK FROM OTHER SANCTUMS.

Toronto World: Lots of things would be different if they were otherwise. Albany Express: It is the lie abilities, assets were, that make the successful assignor.

Philadelphia Press: The wise man's sense—Reticence. Atchison Globe: If you put your eyes on your neighbor's row the weeds will grow up in your own.

Rome Sentinel: The man who is dead, in love with himself usually has 1io rivals.

Binghampton Leader: The* poet is born, not made. The poetess is born and maid too.

Puck: The tramp is always out of employment, although he is continually "stepping into another man's shoes."

Atchison Globe: When a man is young he thinks to reform the world, but when he gets older he is quite satisfied if he is able to reform himself.

Puck: The railroad engineer may not have much style about him, but wealth and fashion follow In his train.

Texas Sittings: Live within your income, because it is very inconvenient to live without it.

Merchant Traveler: Forgery is all right in the iron business.

steam and electricity have

been born of it. Do we realize what that means? It has been marvellously rich also in scientific research and discovery. Enormous advancement has been made along many lines. Doubtless the ten years that yet remain will add another triumphs notable in their importance and value to the race. Thus nearing the end of this greatest century in the history of the race, it is natural for us to look forward into that century, of which imaginative writers have so often prophesied the Twentieth century—and to wonder what it will bring forth. It is hard to believe that it can be more fruitful in great achievements than the present one has been. Mayhap it will be much less so, as some periods of great intellectual activity are succeeded by comparative stagnation and dullness. On the contrary, with the rapidly multiplying facilities for investigation and progress the coming century may go forward even more swiftly than the present one has done.

AMUSEMENTS.

"The Fairies' Well," which was written by Mr. Con Murphy, will be presented ujr an. vuu atNaylor's opera house for the first displayed marked ability.

is vastly superior both in point of character drawing, interest and skill in construction to dozens of Irish plays, which have been given a place on the stage during the past ten years. The play is elaborately mounted, all of the scenes being beautiful. "The Fairies' Well," is a special attraction. The advance sale opens Monday morning at Butt on's.

TWO OLD CRONIES.

"Two Old Cronies," a musical farce comedy, which has been popular for a couple of seasons in other cities, will be presented on Wednesday evening, January 15th. The action of the piece occurs in a female seminary, on a steamboat, and in a hotel parlor, while musical interpolations and ively dancing enter largely into the erformance. Its merit must be measured by the number of laughs it provokes, for it is purely an incentive to hilarity and pretends to be nothing else Mills, Henshaw and»Ten Broeck are the leading spirits. These three are in themselves competent to make an audience forgetful, of the outside world for two hours and a half. Tlicy are assisted, however, by clever performers chosen for their fitness to give adequate interpretations of the various characters and add to the general fund of innocent merriment. Sale opens Monday.

MAGGIE MITCHELL. -.

On next Saturday evening, Jau. 18, the popular artist, Maggie Mitchell, supported by a strong company, will present a comedy-drama, "Ray," especially written for her by C. Wallace Walters. Of the play and her interpretation the Detroit Free Press says:

Perennial Maggie Mitchell was welcomed at White's last night by a goodly-sized and very enthusiastic audience in a pretty little comedy-drama .entitled "Ray." It was written for her by C. Wallace Walters, a Philadelphian who seems to have made a closer and more intelligent study of Miss Mitchell than commonly befalls players who patronize dramatic tailors. The phrase Is not applied to Mr. Walters in a flippant spirit or with intentional disrespect, but simply to particularize the author who writes a play (cuts his garment) to order with the understanding that it must be a fit. Mr. Walters, in this case, made a fit and Miss Mitchell has made a hit. Ray Golden is the name of the character she plays. It belongs to the elfish order with which she has been associated all her professional life, and it is one of the strongest characters in her repertory. Moreover, she plnvs} it effectively, and with admirable shading! Its contrasting phases are distinctly marked, all the way from madcap mirth to genuine tear-compelling pathos. Ever seen Maggie Mitchell attempt the pathetic? Probubly not, until last night, and then she

DRAMATIC BKCBPTION.

Tickets are out for a dramatic, reception to be given at Dowling hall on the 17th, by a number of Mrs. Aydelotte's pupils. "The Lost Found" is the name of the play to be given. The drama consists of three acts, the second act is generally participated in by a large number of little folks, consequently will be of general interest to children throughout, the city. Whatever Mrs. Aydelotte undertakes she execute's with success, and that this entertainment will not be an exception, from a financial point of view at least, is now assured as advanced sales havei already been sufficient to more than meet expenses.

NOTES.

The Pa^ti advance sales in Chicago footed up $120,000. Charles H. Hoy will launch two new farce-comedies next season. They aire called A Singed Cat and A Texas Steer.

Robert Planquette, composer of the Chimes of Normandy, is writing a new comic opera, soon to be brought out at the Foules-Draratlques, in Paris.

Among the many musicians fromthe Hoosier State who have made mu their time and talent is C. O. formerly of Greencastle, who is no1 playing with the Boston Concert Company.

Mary Anderson says she has no intention of returning to the stage, at least not for an indefinite period. The rumor that she is about to get married^is again revived, the prospective bridegroom this time being a son of Mrs. A. De Navarrvo with whom "Our Mary" 1s traveling.

Ermine closed its career at the New York Casino Saturday evening, Jan. 4th with a record of 1,250 performances, something fur in excess of anything ever attained by a comic opera production. Prosperity attended the opera from the start, and over 2,000,000 people enjoyed its fan and melody, so it is said.

Thursday evening was an unfortunate one for the star appearance of Miss Carrie Katzenbach, now Mrs. Robert Wayne, in her new play "Rene." Bat notwithstanding the rain, a good and-

other members of the company can be said to have acquitted themselves with credit. The play has many strong features but is criticised as being draw out. This will no doubt bo recognized and corrected. Mrs. Wayne received a number of beautiful floral pieces from friends.

So much has been said about going out between acts at the theatre, that sensitive people will set a whole evening in cramped, uncomfortable position rather than make themselves objects of remark or observation. This is absurd. Why should not the theatre be a place for social enjoyment .as well as for amusement? And to this end why should not men and women move about the house between acts and converse with their friends? This, of course, when they can get out of their seals without falling over anybody. They need not rise and make a dash for the door as though they were consumed with thirst. Nor does it follow that a drink draws* men from their seats. A breath of fresh air, a rest to the cramped limbs, a drink of water or a chat with a friend are pleasant in ducementsto break the monotony that reigus Detween acts. Yet fty none of these will some of our people leave their seats. When the curtain falls in the Auditorium at Chicago, one half the men and women in the house rise. Why can we not overcome our comparative provincialism? -i

Cured by Cuticura

If I had known of the Cutlcura Remedies twenty-eight years ago it would have saved me 8200.00 (two hundred dollars) and an immense amount of suffering. My disease (psoriasis) commenced on my head in a spot not larger than a cent. It spread rapldlyall over my body and got under my nails. The scales would drop off of me all the time, and my suffering was endless and without relief. One thousand dollars would not tempt me to have this disease over again. I am a poor man, but feel rich to be relieved of what some of trie doctors said was Jeprosy, some ringworm, psoriasis, etc. I took. .and. Sarsanarllla over a year and a half, but no cure. I went to two or three doctors, and no cure. I cannot praise the Cuticura Remedies too much. They have made my skin as clear and free from scales as a baby's. All I used of them was three boxes of Cutlcura, and three bottles of Cutlcura Resolvent, and two cakes of Cutlcura Uoap. If you had beenhere and said you would nave cured me for 820000, you would have had the money. I looked like the picture In your book of jworiasls (Picture number two, "How to Cure Skin Diseases"), but now I am as clear as any person ever was. Througn force of habit I rub my hands over my arms and legs to scratch once in a while, but to no purpose. I am all well. J. scratched
