A TAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

A Bystander's Opinion.

Judge Taylor's path has not been strewn with flowers for the first mile or two of his journey. On the contrary good sized boulders have presented themselves at every stop in .••uch numbers as to make traveling exceedingly unpleasant. Not a single important case has come before him during his brief service as Circuit judge that has not brought down volumes of criticism upon his head. The Trogden murder case set the ball rolling, and it is probable that months will pass before ho will hear the last of it. Not only in tbe city but all the surrounding towns as well, the manner in which he conducted the now famous case was criticised, and the newspapers of Paris were especially severe in

their

attacks on him. Now comes the

Kihel Towne case, capping the climax of public condemnation. IJis instructions to the jury form the vulnerable point, and for these be has been ubjected to unfavorable comment all over the country. Practically he discharged the prisoner in his charge to the jurors, and that the twelve referees grasped the situation •was shown by their Immediate return of a verdict pronouncing the fair young dodger "not guilty." The point involved was an interpretation of law, and gave chance for a wide difference of opinion among attorneys. Able men at the bar here say Judge Taylor was technically correct. Judge Mack, ex-occu-pant of the throne, says he would have interpreted the law differently. lie that as it Is, an ordinary individual will find it hard work to convince himself that Ethel wa innocent. She did not get Mr. Biur'*$30i i: is true, but it was not any fault of hers. As one paper remaiked: "Torre Haute was badly duped, according to till accounts, but still the city can congratulate Itself that it is the only place in tlio country where she could hare been acquitted on such a technicality as was sprang by the defense in her trial." All this is probably unpleasant to Judgo Taylor, but he can comfort himself with the thought that a brighter day will dawn soon. He simply has not been fully initiated, and besides!, the publics is not. yet in a frame of miud to sanction anything he does. IJndoubt edly .there is more or loss prejudice at t:iv' root of the criticism, and time will work this olV.

The wator works entanglement is still worrying the council and the newspapers. It seems impossible for either power to work out a solution. Thecotnpany insists that the repeal of the old charter was illegal, while the council displays an opposite view by paying the city water bill, according to the new ordinance. Some settlement should be reached soon as the endless controversy Is growing tiresome. Pansion should above all things be avoided, otherwise a reasonable adjustment will never be attained.

Heboid the beautiful streets of the city! Tarry on Wabash avenuo Imisi enough to absorb all the grandeur of that noble thoroughfare, is not the view inspiring? Do you see those nioyiug specks above the surface? Those are the eyes and nostrils of a Newfoundland dog crossmu from ono side to the other. Can you distinguish those eddies a little further out? That is where a transfer wagon disappeared a fe,w minutes ago. What is the broad expanse before you? Mud, my dear sir, and nothing more. Just a little extra wet, but that is all. How is it that the electric cars are able to keop aboye tide? Only because tho track Is built on a trestle work which is submerged to the rails. There la ono bright air-castle in the minds of Terre Haute people. It Is that a time is coming when crossings at such times as this will be swept. Then there is another brighter vision lingering as a mirage. It is that in the dim future Main street will bo paved. Would the Bystander were a dreamer, that he too might catch a glimpse of those far away pictures.

The Bystander was doeply interested in W. C. Small wood's recent article on "Darkest Terre Haute," for it disclosed a local condition of a flairs beyond his previous conception. That there could bo such destitution in this city at the present time was news. There are few persons, however, who ever see the dark side of Terre Haute life as it is revealed to the secretary of the charity organisation, and so tbe public is ignorant of the many, many homes where only privation and misery dwell the year round. Two such homes were pictured in the secretary's article. They were homes where more than giving oi food and clothing was needed. The members of the families were people for whom life might have a brighter side were the way made clearer through the right kind of charity. This charity was defined by Mr. 8mall wood to be personal interest in the fatuities, patronage of such a nature as to infuse tbe neody ones with the idea that there were true friends ready to help them over the stumbling block in making their way to a higher plane of existence. I* not this charity in its true nature? Undoubtedly it is. Then how few true philantrophhts there are in Terre Haute, Hundreds of ua give money, food and clothing for the poor. But are we really charitable. J«o. We extend no encouragement, we ate ourselves as far as possible from those we believe we are assisting. How much better it would be to change oar

style of giving, making tbe donation one of time as well as money. How much more good would be accomplished. Do you not think so?

Amusement goers, tbe ultra fashionable and the studious and our literary people, will have a treat in tbe lectures to be delivered on "Health and Disease" by the famous traveler and lecturer, Mrs. A. M. Longshore Potts, M. D. Mrs. Dr. Potts is a woman who is famous throughout three continents, and her name ia as familiar a word in New Zealand, Australia and South Africa as it is in America. She is not only an exceedingly interesting talker but a very attractive woman, and has fraternized with and won the commendation of tbe most intelligent and cultivated people wherever she has appeared. She is particularly attractive to her own sex, and her lectures have been largely attended. For more than thirty years she has devoted herself to the ameliora tion of women's ills and disorders. She is eminently practical, loves women and Is thoroughly in earnest. There is naught of masculinity in either her appearance or manner, and she dispenses dry physiological facts with sweet womanly smiles, marked eloquence and abundant humor. The lectures will commence next Monday night with an address to both sexes. Thursday afternoon will be the first lecture to ladies only. Both will be free and finely illustrated by stereopticon views. Next Fr.day evening she will deliver her famous lecture on "Love, Courtship and Marriage." This discourse has been delivered over two thousand times, and i« considered the best in her course. The Boston Herald spoke of it as being "as good as an hour with Mark Twain," while a Vassar girl, in trying to express her feelings in regard to ihe lecture, first gave utterance to the expression that "it was funnier than a box of monkeys." This lecture will be to both men and women.

James M. San key has been elected president of the Indiana Shorthorn Breeders' Association.

The entertainment and social given by the pupils of St. Joseph's academy Thursday night was a very profitable as well as pleas int, affair.

Christian Cjiurch: The pastor, Eld. A. J. Frank, will preach at 11 a. tn. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday school at 9:30 a..m. meeting of Y. T. 8. C. E. 0:30 p. m.

Merman Hulmau, Jr. has purchased l)ui Gladstone, son of the only Gladstone, who diod recently in Kentucky, and he will hereafter be at home at the Ridgewood kennel.

Tho statistics of St. Joseph's church for the year 1890 are as follows: Births, 55 marriages, 23 baptisms, 80 converts, 25 deaths, 19, four occurring at the hospital and the others being eight iufants and five adults. The average daily attendance at the school was 221 boys, 104:'girls, 117-

A very funny coincident marked one of the recitations of the Junior olass at the Polytechnic Friday morning. The class was doeply engrossed in a discussion of "pedal" curves' in Calculus when tho lesson was suddenly interrupted by Mr. Charles R. Peddle appearing in the half opon door.

Owing to the inability of Senator Voorhees to fulfill his engagement in the Normal lecture course this month, his place will be taken by the famous chalk talk lecturer, Mr. Frank Blard, on Monday evening, Jan. 26th inst. Mr. Voorhees wi'I probably lecture in April. The Ketiuan lecture comes Feb. 16th.

In response to the request published in another column, Mrs. LongshorsPotta, M. D., will, at the close of this season, deliver a special course'of lect. ures in Indianapolis the for benefit of the Woman's Industrial Association, of which Mrs. T. A. "Hendricks is president. The Common Council last Monday unannumously decided to grant the free use Of TomHnson Hall for this purpose.

Tho clothing stores seem to have some fatality hanging ovsr them. On New Year's eve H. D. Pixley A Co. suffered a very disasterous fire, and now on Tuesday night, of this week, Goodman A Hirschler was similarly visited. In this case the loss was fully as heavy as in tbe other, and largely thought the agency of water and smoke rather than fire. The stock carried was valued at about 930.000 while the Insurance will not exceed $20,000.

There have been several collisions between the electric street cars and wagons during the last two weeks, and the result is that drivers are gradually learning that the safest place for driving is not between the street car rails. Drivers are learning another lesson too that is timely and it is to be more careful in handling their teams. Thus it is that necessity Is forcing them to lessen the danger to pedestrians of being run over on the streets.

The jury in the Ethel Towne case returned a verdict acquitting tbe fair young adventuress on the charge of forgery. The judge's instructions were such that no other result coo Id be expected. The ground for acquital was that no fraud was committed since Manager Baur knew the check presented was a forgery before It was uttered to him. Ethel left the city Tuesday afternoon on the Big Four west bound train. It is believed her intention was to return to Chicago.

The council ordinance providing for a sealer of weights and measure®, was adopted at Tuesday evening9* session, and tn pursuance of its provisions 3. D. Wilson was chosen sealer. The sealer's duties nil! he to test all scales

and-measnres in the city at certain intervals and furnish the proprietors thereof lawful certificates of the correctness or accuracy of such weights and measures. It shall also be his duty, when he sees fit, to inspect public scales and to require coal, hay, straw or other material offered for sale by weight to be weighed and strictly accounted for. He will be empowered to oversee all weights, measures and weighing and measuring devices at his pleasure and prosecute cases requiring prosecutions. The ordinance is a good one and should work effectively in the interests of the people if its intentions are carried out.

Terre Haute is not to be represented in the Interstate ball league for 1891, the street car company having refused to come forward with a donation of ?500 as expected. This means that Evansville too, will be left out, a blow which that city will not soon recover from. The Interstate meeting was held at Burlington, Saturday, before the final decision of the Terre Haute directors had been reached, and anticipation of favorable action from this city a league comprising of Des Moines, Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids, Io., Rockford, Joliet, Quincy, Peoria and Springfield, 111., Evansville and Terre Haute was arranged. What changes this subsequent action will make is not known. Tbe loss of a club will be a keen blow to the ball fanatics here who lived on "diamond" excitement all last summer, and how they will tide over the misfortune is still a matter of conjecture.

AMUSEMENTS.

VERNONA JARBEAU.

He who misses seeing and hearing Yernona Jarbeau in "Starlight" on Tuesday evening, January 27th, at Naylor's will have reason for future regret. "Starlight" is a string of the brightest and most popular melodies culled from here, there and everywhere. There is a very little dialogue, but there is plenty of the best sort of singing. Jarbeau herself is geuerous in her time and presence. She simply bubbles over with life and individuality. From the crown of the hend she carries so jauntily to the toe of the slipper that sometimes twinkles in mid-air in a manner quite as bewitching as daring, the characteristic shows itself. She sings French songs, English songs, a topical song, dances with inimitable abandon and laughs with an infectiousness that no ono can resist. Her prettiest piece of acting is perhaps in the little scene at the piano, and her most charmingly rendered soug, "Where Are You Going, My Pretty Maid?" She has a clever set of people with her, and she is not afraid to let them make the most of heir opportunities. Seat sale opens Monday.

RENTZ SANTLEY.

At Naylor's opera house next Wednesday evening, January 28th, the famous Rentz-Santley Novelty and Burlesque company will produce their latest spectacular extravaganza, called "A- Sensation in Paradise," an amusing travesty on "Around the World in Eighty Days." though in this case the time is reduced to twenty days, a bit of great enterprise on the part of the play-wright by means of which even Nellie Bly is nowhere. The piece open with a s:ene showing an apartment of the lligh-toned Club of New York. The wager is made, the trip begins, and one scene quickly follows another. Next we have them in London, then the scene changes to the "Jardine Mobilles," of Paris, then in India, then in Frisco, then among the snow-peaked rocky mountains, and finally back in New York, just in time for Jack Hustler to win his wager of one hundred thousand dollars. Manager Leavitt has engaged an exceptionally strong company, including some of the best vaudeville and burlesque artists of the European stage. Incidental tj the various scenes some very clever specialties will be introduced. Nellie Wilson, the dashing English burlesque artist, in catchy songs and tipboot dancing. M'lle Leoville, in magical illusions, assisted by Ada Renza, Matthews and Harris, sketch artists. The great comedians, Pusey and Lester, character sketches by Barney Reynolds, the only Lottie Elliott, Kadoodja, the graceful Algeiian dancer, the LaParte sisters, Nolia, the juggler, the sensational knife throwing act by tbe sisters Gilbert, Nellie Page as "Isa," in a grand reproduction of the model scene from "The Clemenceau Case," the "Nautch Dance," and "The Blags of All Nations," march by a perfect bevy of young and pretty girls making, up a X«ry strong bill. 1

CONRIED OI'ERA CO.

The well known and favorite Conried Opera company will appear at Naylor's opera house on Friday evening, January 30th, presenting "The Gypsy Baron." Ths company this season is fully up to tbe standard and the engagement will, no doubt, be a highly successful one in every sense of tbe word. The advance sale of seats will take place Wednesday morning, January 26th, at Button's. Prices range from 35 cents to $1.25.

TWO OLD CRONIES.

Theater goers will be pleased to hear that the "Two Old Cronies" will be presented at Naylor's opera house on Saturday evening, January 31st. This piece was presented here twice last season to crowded houses.
