TERBE HAUTE, SEPT. 6,1890.

GEO. OrtBEBT, of YoanKstown, O., left an estate of 3150,000 by living on tbree ccnts a day. It isn't so harti to get rich after all.

SEAI^KIKS have gone up 25 per cent. Tbua does one necessity after another go soar! ng sky ward. Wbat are poor people going to do anyway?

Two Illinois girls claimed the same man and settled the trouble by one selling out her interest in him for $700. How much better that was than getting up a shooting bee!

THE school ehlldreu of New York who liave voted for a State flower, have given .81,308 in favor of golden rod, 79,386 for the roso, and 33,602 for the daisy-a pretty close race between rose and golden rod.

THE law "prohibiting children under 10 from smoking cigarettes is to be vigorously enforced in New York by arrest and fine. So it ought to be, there and everywhere else. If the family slipper is not sufficient for the occasion, by all means try what virtue there is In the calaboose.

TIIK passion for perfume, which has for some time been raging among woman kind, is in danger of fastening upon the other sex, it being alleged that sachet powders for waist bands and coat linings begin to figure among tailor's bills. Dainty fragrance has always been regarded as the special province of the gentler »ox. Bettor let It remain so.

JOHN L.

SMXIVAN'.s

play is called

"Honest Hearts and Willing Hands." The last lmtf, at least, is appropriate. John's hands, or lists, have always been •willing enough. The trouble with the piece is that It doesn't give the great slugger's hands enough to do. He has only three rounds In the third act, whereas he ought to havo that many In every scene. We foar he will soon become dissatisfied with such a lifeless play. 7=============

Mn. GLADSTONE writes that his age and engagements utterly disable him from ever crossing the Atlantic. America must then give up the hope of seeing this grand old statesman, orator and i,\ not coming to America years ago. He should not have missed seeing the grandest country on the globe and if ho had come once in bis earlier years he could not have resisted the desire to come ®g»i«. i::.

WHAT'S tho matter with architecture as a profession for women? Miss Minerva Parker, of Philadelphia, although but 22 years old, Is said to havo a profitable business, besides having had her plans uocopted for tho woman's pavilion of the World's Fair. The only other female architect in the United States is Mrs. Dethiuu, of Rochester, N. Y. Come, girls, give us some new Ideas In house building.

IT IS now four weeks since the House passed tho Anti-Lottery bill, which Is still, for some unexplained reason, hung up in the Senate. Why does not that body pass it? It Is not so busy with the Tariff bill that it can't get tho few minutes that would be required to pass the House bill. It may be a pure case of negligence but It looks suspicious, and in any event there is no excuse for oven negligence In a matter of so muoh public concern.

VKUV pleasant news comes from New Jersey, that while nearly all the other crops are short the oyster crop promises to be abundant and of splendid quality. The season opened most auspiciously Sept. t. The warm weather of last sum uier and the open winter following put the luclous bivalve In first-class condition, and there Is a prospect that he will be considerably cheaper than In other years. Well, no one need starve when oysters are plenty and cheap! ii

IT IS proposed that the government spend *100,000 iu tho next three years for exploring Alaska. The idea is a good one. We paid some millions for that great territory of which we know little more than when we bought it. There are reports of extensive and valuable lumber and material interests in the unexplored interior. The government can well afford to spend a* much money in exploring this immense region as it throws away annually on many a little creek for alleged river and harbor $t» nrovcment»

EACH ym# makes it more evident how far wrong the Southerner* were in thinking that the destruction of slavery would be the downfall of their prosperity. The outpouring waste of the war did make them very poor for a while* but the old time wcdth of that waa amall as compared with its production in recent years. Never before wsre auch cotton erope known, the liwrw*® 1® the last five year* being from alx and a half to eight million bale®. The raloe the last 8ve crops aggregate the eaonasa# total of two billion doilara—ttaanjf a# much as the national debt at the eta* of the war. When to thia la added the groat development in other kinds of

that

the country. The crops of the

South this year will be worth one billion dollars, or about $400,000 more than in in 1880. This is a grand showing for the "Sunny South."

SKAIX we have to admit that eating is one of the strong points of modern social life? Perhaps, for that matter, it always was. At

any

those

some

rate it is announced

with apparent authority now that "the people most popular in social life are

who entertain bounteously. People like to go to places where some sort of refreshment is banded during asocial visit, and the house that has its dining room open at any meal for a parsing friend is always a popular one." In an age when there are so many good things to eat and so many delicate and tooth

ways of preparing them, it is not strango that cookery should play an important part in social life. Only let it not be extravagant or intemperate and no ground for complaint will exist.

THE Chicago Tribune gives a "plain talk" anent the

opening

campaign in

that city and state, which contains good meat for some other places. Speaking of the disposition of office-holders to run conventions, it says: "They ought to give the people a chance. The officeholders ought to be satisfied *vlth holding office. They are liberally paid to do the people's work. They are not paid to boss the people. The people resent their officials setting themselves up as masters. The fact that a man holds office ought to bar him from membership in a convention where candidates for other offices are to be nominated. Nominations ought to be left to the unofficial voters of the party*" Now why isn't that good doctrine anywhere? There is less domination of conventions by office-holders now than there used to be, the civil service rules having had a healthy influence in that respect. But there is too much •offensive partisanship" yet.

ALTHOUGH Chicago has the finest theater in the United States, if not in the world—the Auditorium—it is D^hind several other cities in never haying had had a permanent theatrical company. New York has three such companies, Boston two and Philadelphia and San Francisco each one. It is now proposed to remedy this and a "Shakespeare Memorial Theatre" is to be built, a duplicate of the Memorial Theater erected at Stratrord in 1882, with a museum of relics, curios, souvenirs, etc., associated with tho Shakespeare plays. The thea tre is to be the home of a first-class company of players who will bring out new plays for the first time and who will remain permanently in Chicago. As Chicago is the second city In the Union, has an enormous transcient population of visitors and travelers and Is surround--V1L .IJ.. "UU IoTOO trvrvivo ««d a thickly settled country, it would seem to possess superior advantages for such an enterprise. The wonder is that its inception should have been so long do layed.

CHRISTINE TEHHUNK HERRICK, in Harpers Bazar, notes the growing popularity of the evening dinners in this country. From a rare thing it has become general In the larger cilties. The points In Its favor are greater leisure and more enjoyment of tho meal after the day's work Is over pfeasanter cheer with the various members of the family coming together after the day's separation and relioved of all strain of care and toil "tho festal appoarance imparted by the gleam of caudles, gas or lamps upon silver, china and glass, which cannot be so fully obtained in daylight in a word, a happior, longer and in every way better eateu meal than If taken somewhat hurriedly in the middle of the day. Then the stomach haa nothing to do but digest what has been put Into it, whereas the mld-day dinner both Incapacitates for work to follow, and the hard labor after It Impairs the powers of digestion. Now that the old idea that a full stomach before bed time Is Injurious to health has been exploded, it would seem that the evening dinner Is destined to along reign of popularity.

THE OVER- WORKED PIANO. Kate Field's Washington makes a sensible plea for a mitigation of piano playing by young women taking up with other musical instruments that have more novelty and capability of affording enjoyment at a much less expense of time and energy In learning to play upon them. The Ante, violin, banjo, mandolin and other small instruments are well suited to the manipulation of the fair sex and become singularly sweet and graceful in their bands.

It is a trite story that the nation is tired of "piano solos,no matter how difficult they may be or how well calcn lated to show off the technical abilities of the performer. There is none too much music in them as a rule, except to the expert ear, and the simple melodies that all enjoy are notconsldered brilliant enough for the young woman who has pounded the key-board for weary weeks and months in hope of gaining a qualified mastery of it. There should oe a distinction between professional and amateur music. The latter is for family and social uses and it* only excuse for being la the pleasure It may give. Who can doubt that this would greatly enhance by the use of any of the minor Instruments In place of th« never-oess-lUg piano?

WATER,

In a witty and incisive article on "bottled goods," Prof. David Swing declares tfcat "at plonks*, at circuses, at the corner drug store on* can get any kind of driuk, except a drink of water."

Yet water is the one beat drink of MB, ntwnry for man and beast and 'J?

without which the race could not exist. It is abetter cleanser of the system than any other yet discovered. Says Mr. Swing: "When the English, German and American physical machinery has become clogged with the sediment of all kinds of alcoholic and diabolic drinks it is taken to some natural springs to be washed out. Gallons of water will sometimes wash clean all the human filters and send back the machine to new life and new happiness."

It must be that its life and healthgiving properties are not generally appreciated, or our people would not be so crazy for everything contained in bottles.

We have'ifiaffe%omgfP«lgrese in fighting intoxicating liquors, known to be such, and sailing under their true colors, but are not the "bottled goods," of various degrees of impurity and barmrulness, largely coming into the place of the more potent beverages?
