All a man bad todo was to nigiiify a desire to find one, and soino person would atcer him against anything he wanted. It has been a great week for the boys, and as tho funds were becoming quite low wftli many Terre Haute sports they probably made the be,"t of their opportunity and tilled thoir purses.

THEY HMOIXIl TItY IT.

Some enterprising member of the Indianapolis city eouneil litis introduced before that august body an ordinance which an exact copy of the King law. What he intends doing with it if it become* a law has not been stated. It has been In force heie for many moons, but the only sa loons who have complied with ita requi ements are those which have voluntarily retired from business. The others all run in full blast, none of them pay any attention to the law, and very many of them never lock their doors at all. It rhay have been a great satisfaction to Mr. King to pass the ordinance, but that 1« about all the satisfaction he has ever derived from it- Probably the Indianapolis man will do better with his, uud then again probably he won't. If his regular businesH doe.-oi't occupy all his time, he could ntund around end watch the saloons, or he could .stay away from ehureh on Sundays and do the sewne thing. This would not, however, be a very good scheme if ho has any political aspirations, or if he wanted futuro success for his party. Then he might run across somo of his business patrons in his rounds and it might not be profitable to une them as witnesses,while he would ^.7 ai he not do so. In any ovent a spy is unpopular with every person. The ordinance may be a very nice dooumont, in faet it seems to be so

uice

that no one

of the eouneil who would gladly vote for ita

repeal,

but they

are

afraid to do so.

On the upland of morality the enforcement of the ordinance might be a good thing, but as a political move it might prove disastrous.

Notes and Comments.

Water has been selling at twenty-live cents a drink in Oklahoma. This was rough upon men who had never paid more than ten cents for their whisky.

It is said that in St. Louis the chief otbeials of the school board employ spies to watch the teachers out of hours and report upon their moral conduct. Might not the people of St. Louis with equal propriety put spies on the school board to report upon their doings?

The general expectation is that the importations of gold for a few weeks now will be at the rate of $o,«KM\0tn) to $,000,ooo a week. A smaller ratio of gain •ban this would serve aii purposes, but tho country will not be churlish enough to rn any of the incoming gold away. tieneral IKrenforth went down to Tov to supply the farmers with nun water. At San Antonio they gave him a bah quel with lots of champagne. It. is the public opinion of Texas that the irrigation of Dyreitforlh was a much boner job than JHreuforth's irrigation of the farms. ha* been well said that spasmodic advertising, even when made on a large scale, is disappointing. The ephemeral

the man had made a grand effort and failed. Merchants who permanently

he painful advertise the impression of strength and soundness. People at least feel that those who keep their names before the pubHc are solid and suhataomi.

United States having a naval station in the group of islands which command the entry to the Gulf of Mexico and the approaches to the mouth of the Mississippi and the isthmus, whether it be the island of St, Thomas or some other. The question aa to the necessity of such an acquisition is one to be determined by the naval and military authorities, aud it is one about which there should be no controversy on party grounds.

A South Carolina supreme court judge makes a decision that a native of that state who was divorced after removal to another state, afterward marrying and returning to South Carolina, could not be considered as divorced in the latter state, therefore his children are illegitimate, and tbe decision bars them from inheriting any of their father's property. Seems rather severe, but as a counterirritant to tho very loose divorce decisions of some states it is refreshing.

The young emperor William, of Germany made a mistake in calling the First Napoleon a

ilCorsicari

parvenu,"

for he has angc-red many of the allies among the royal families who owe their fortunes to "tho greatest murderer of modern times." In Napoleon's time war was greater tliKn diplomacy and it was the chief means for attaining power. In the language of-the street Napoieon "got there," and however questionable the means there is no denying that he occupies a great place in the history of Europe.

The new Oklahoma boom is iu full blast, and we shall hear of the usual struggle over tho be^t hits. A curious and interesting feature of this new pilgrimage to land in th$ fertile territory which Uncle Sam is gradually wheedling away from the Indians is the euormuus uumber of women boomers. Fully twenty percent, of the claimants of the newly opened lands are womeD, mounted on horseback and armed. And they don't use side-saddles, either. Thore is something in the contemplation of a wild, free life like mis which must make the pulses of a Massachusetts, sohooliiu'tii beat more quickly than usual, and cr.n-'e hor eyes to sparkle behind her spectacles.

New Yorkers, notwithstanding they have been long used to that kind of thing, seem to be somewhat stirred up iKseause Willy Wall Ast is going over to England to sp 1 thf rentals on his wvio-itw ov#n g*.ne to tho length of passing some peppery resolutions condemnatory of Willy Wally's shirking of tho duties of citizenship. At this disiauce it looks like much ado about a really inconsequential matter. Willy Wally and all of that ilk have always shirked all of the duties of citizenship anyhow. It does not appear that it will make much difference whether he goes to Lunuon to shirk them or shirks them while ho hangs around New York and Newport. The resolutions speak of the the jury and military duties to which he is liable. His services as a juryman are not especially required, and as for military duties- Taney Wrilly marching ofl to save his country with asash around his waist and a valet carrying his horrid musket. So long as lie pays his taxes there ought to be no quarrel about whore he lives.

A humiliating picture of the type of girls belonging to the leisurrfclass and trained iu private schools is given by Charlotte W. Porter in the September Forum. In her article entitled Physical Hindrances to Teaching Girls, aheasserts that not half the pupils in these schools can endure even a moderate amount of study without becoming nervous invalids. The spectacle of these weak creatures dissolved into tears over a knotty problem or because refused a box of candy, going to tied for a slight pain t. .» less a party is in prospect, eating pickles and fruitcake in preference to bread and beef, and with about as much brain power a pet kitten, must awaken the contempt of the robust and resolute girls who fill our seminaries and colleges. But mothers and doctors, not the teachers, are to blame for this state of affairs. A girl who is forever coddled at home and prevented from making any exertion of either brain or body must necessarily be tacking in physical endu raoce and self-con trol. She goes early into "society,** and Miss Potter pertinently inquires: "With her untrained mind, her aches and her nerves, her tears and her hysterics, she mounts a throne in some rich man's kingdom. T*es it require a seer to tell how she *111 govern?"

Ethel Chase Sprngue, daughter of Kate Sprague, is said by a correspondent to be one of the most dashing and fe&rl horsewomen in the country. She ride* a big bay horse named Star, the gift of Senator Fair, and personally superin u&ttdu tfceewtof bsr frrorite in tbft stable* Mssa Sprague has been familiar with horaea for years and ha* pMsed a good portion of her life ia the saddle.

A KAN'S OBSERVATIONS.

The Unconsidered Evils which Result firom Overcrowded Professions, and a few Words of Advice to Fathers who

bave Sons Wanting

Lead Lives of Ease,

A man's age cannot always be put

down in figures neither can a woman's Some people grow frosty and dull early in life, others have a genial air of sunshine about them which they preserve into a green old age. Though many claim to have discovered the secret of perpetual youth, few make their claim good. It does not consist in lotions or cosmetics neither will it be brought about by fortune or freedom from care. One may live iu a palace surrounded by luxury, but a fretful disposition or a tar temper will bring wrinkles and frowns ^nd'Stamp tho face with a prematurely ojd look -which no amount of money dan take away.

Idleness often brings on old age |oouer than work will. Idleness begets #nnui and weariness continued inaction robs people of all interest iu the ihingsgoing on around them, and wheu itten and women lose their interest in life, they are already old, no matter Vliat their age may bo.

Good health is one of the secrets of keeping young, for days ot pain and restlessness soou take away the bouyance of spirit that belongs to the youth. A racking headache or a twinge of rheumatism are not apt to lighten the weight of years, or make old age enjoyable, and those who take every precaution to ward ofl the attacks of disease are making the right effort to secure a lease of perpetual j'outh.

Habits of gentleness and kindness formed early in life do not desert people as age comes on, but they seem like body guards to ward oft tho ravages of Time, How many old people there are whose manners arc so charming and whose conversation is so entertaining, we quite forget that they are as aged as they are? They have never allowed themselves to grow selfish, «r to loci* their interest in things round them. Their steps may be .slow, but thoir sympathies are quick and their minds active all that was deemed best and almst loveable in them

It Is a remarkable fact how many statesmen, clergymen and public men of all professions have pursued active careers up to a great ago.

The

fact of

laboring long and bard does not seem to rob them of vitality. Early in life they must I ave learned tho secret of laying a foundation of good health, and of alternating their hours of work and of rest they must have kept their mental faculties bright by use, find never allowed their interest in people and things to ilag because years were creeping over them.

And what such men are in public life, women are in tho home-circle. There are thousauds of them all tho country over. They are well on in years but the warm, vivacious, home-brighteriing spirit is still active within them. They are still young at heart, young in intellect, young as far as affections go, and it would surely be a mistake to call them old.

Among

the unconsidered evils which

business stagnation has brought before the people is that of overcrowded professions, learned and otherwise. There are too many tnon struggling for the same things which, being gained, afford small compensation to tbe contestants. A loaf of bread will make a

tween the absolute pauperism or the shabby gentility which too many aspirants are forced to endure. Better agricultural drudgery and success than continued defeat. There is overcrowd-

ing iu all work in the city, the effect be-

in8

to lessen the value of labor ami of

keeping it depressed by the weight of numbers of applicants who will fill Journalism

vacant places for a song is no exception to the evil. Every young fellow who has reached the rule of three in arithmetic, and who can conjugate a verb, thinks himself capable of editing a newspaper, at least for a time, until he can do better. Not a shopkeeper in business whose clerks do not think they know more than he. So that egotism and the crowd of waiters make business worth little or nothing either to principals or employes. One remedy is to revise and make severe the grade of examinations for everything, and thus winnow the useless. Employ only men thoroughly competent for business. Keep young men out of cities by offering inducements for them to becomo agriculturalists. Let fathers nrnko their sous learn trades and elevate every trade to a profession. This will lift the tax of high prices for poor work from the public and give to ambitious young men a chance to distinguish themselves in fields of labor not so crowded that tho candidates step on each others toes.

People and Things.

The Prince of Roumania will be married to tho daughter of the Duko of Edinburgh when that young lady is willing to throw herself away—aud not till then.

The czar is a collector of birds' eggs ami postage stamps. This should shut, ofl* all sneers at our own Czar, Tom Reed, being an art student on the subject of waist-sashes.

Oscar Wild mourns over the loss of his clothing, which has been stolon by vandal burglars. It should be said in their defense that they worked iu the dark and could not see what they wore taking.

Edward Kearney, who, next to .Judge Hilton, is the largest property-owner in Saratoga, is known as the "Earl of Saratoga." His eoat-of-arms is a fountain rampant, printed in water colors and starred with Saratoga chips.

The headline artist of the average New York paper is rarely truthful, and generally disappointing. For instance, he puts the scare head "Exposition of a Gas Ba?" over an article which does not oven mention Senator Ingalls' name.

The man who proposes to write a cam paign song which shall be sung In every meeting, whittled at tbe street corners and be howled by tho boys everywhere. should be taken care of in a first class self-locking casket. It will be no use hanging him after the mischief is done.

In jaw, medicine and theology, there are too many practitioners. They are increasing in number as fast as the schools can turn them out. Tbe Country is approaching a point when they will equal in numbers their clients, patients and sinners. Each new man la a menace to the interests of his living predecessors for he diminished the income of them all. This is resisted 6y an increased price charged the public for services. Hence tbe peculiar condition of labor in which the more workmen there are the higher the charge for assistance. It costs more, twice as much, at least, to save property, life and souls at the present time, than it cost twenty years ago. But there is no tax on knowledge, and men were as wise then as now. The trouble is that though business has increased for those professions, the worker# In them have augmented beyond all proportion. The loaf which might do for a family of aix, MOST, to carry out the simile, BOW feed draten or fifteen.

vice. A German engineer also goes to construct a railway from Tanga toward Kilimaniano.

The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, who is now on a visit to this country, is one of

tbe

uSto

most popular preachers in London. Audiences of 5,000 are by no means uncommon when be is in tbe pulpit and he has been known to take up a collection of $25,000 when he wanted money for his mission work.

In London over a million dollars of dog taxes have been received during the past twelve months. The police take care to keep down the dog population to tbe list of taxed animals. If the Londoner wants to keep a dog he has got to pay for the luxury and there is no wink ing at untaxed animals.

The talk about ita being dangerous to trust Mr. Gladstone in an old book store for fear that he will ruin himself in ywflirinff purchases is somewhat discounted by one Holywell street dealer, who says that the old gentleman will waste more time in haggling over «lx pence in tbe price of a purchase than most men would in the Election of a library.

It is pointed out that tbe Into President Grevy roust hove missed his opportunities in only aocunmtati ng $2,000,000 white be was in power and held a place where lite reaouroea were almost unlimited. Those who take this view

THE RACES.

MOST SUCCESSFUL MEETING THE ASSOCIATION HAS EVER HELD.

NotwIthstandhig- theThreatenliur Weather over 20,000 People went out to the Grounds—Good Time Mu«3e, aud a Financial Success.

I'our days better racing

have

never

been seen on any track than those which were given here this week by the Terre Haute Trotting Association. It is true the weather was not as favorable as it should have been, and the cold and threatened rain from day to day doubtless kept away many who would liavo boon present under more favorable circumstances, while it prevented as good time being made as had been confidently expected. The heavy ui.u of last Sunday made tho clay truck heavy, and tho cold weather which followed, continuing as it did throughout the woek, was rather hard on the horses, bnt did not prevent them from doing good work, and giving satisfaction all round. It is true that Hal Pointer and Direct failed to break the record of either, but it was a most exciting race. Nancy Hanks also failed to lower hor record, but she beat the best time made in Grand Rapids the same day in tho great Allerton-Nelson race, while Monbars tied the two-year record of Sunol in 2:18. The other races were all full of excitement, aud many thousands of dollars changed hands on the various contests.

The arrangements made by the management were all first-class. They were matte on a large seftle and were characterized by a commendable liberality. There was nothing femall about them, and every detail received careful attention. Every person who had business with any of tho officers was cordially received and treated with respect. Tho result was that the city was crowded with strangers every day, and with the exception of the chronic growler, every one was well pleased. Over 20,000 persons witnessed the four days trials of speed, aud they are all willing to repeat next time tho association holds a meeting.

The Torre Haute Trotting Association is an established institution here, and. has most enviable reputation thoughtout the land. The city feels justly proud

their time and money to make it what it can attain, aud 'Htwitt~'2&<^rpn9*e^M greater things than it has yet achieved.

It will probably be several days before the receipts and expenditures can bo figured, but enough is known to warrant the statement that the meeting has been a financial success. Treasurer Sohual, who lias worked hard for success, says the receipts will be double those of any former meeting, but then it must bo borne in mind that tho expenses are very much heavier. However, the ussocifttion is satisfied with its work, the people nro satisfied—in fact everybody kki e-lied, aud no more can be desired.

WOMAN'S RELIEF CORPS.
