TOWN TALK.

A FEW WORDS CONCERNING A CLASS OF IRRESPONSIBLE LIBELERS.

Gamblers and Gambling and Can They be Reformed—The City Shdald Own an AbattolrandSlionld Have a City Weigher

—World's Fair Closing.

Tbe arrest some days ago In this city of a couple of young men on a charge of criminal libel has brought to light sev oral things.

One

That was a very interesting sermon which the pastor of the Central Presbyterian church delivered to his congregation last Sunday evening on tho subject of "Gambling," but it contained some rathor broad assertions. For instance, he in quoted a* saying ol tho gambler: "The man may bo all right, but if he follows tho business of gambling, and tho poison once gains control of him, he has no heart, no humanity or no respect." Evidently the reverend gentleman is not Acquainted with gamblers or tlioir ways and looks upon them as ho doet. upon tho orthodox hades, as something to be loathed, hated and despised —in short as outcasts who have reached that point where thev are beyond re demption. Ho is willing to give his right hand to the gambler who will re form, but will do nothing to reform him beyond line and imprisonment, or talking at him at long• rango from tho pulpit. Now uv one will deny thai gamblirtg Is wrong, butgnmblefs are not so bad as they are frequently represented. As a rule they are just as far from being the christian's ideal gambler as tho e:\rthis removed from the stin. (Gambling has become so prevalent among business men that the gambler is almost public necessity whose eradication Is an Impossibility. Ho is often a man of property, pays his taxes, in business* transactions his honesty is never questioned, and if called upon for charily his purse is always open beyond his means. Ho is quiet, inoftensive'and unassuming, fl© is no scandal monger, and beyond an occasional fine Imposed on bis calling he is very rarely a criminal. Of course there are exceptions, just as there are among church members or any of the other professions or walks in life, but that is the rule. Gamblers have hearts, frequently as "big as a mountain," they are just as honest as other men, and their respect for true nobility is as gieat as that of tbe man who thanks his God that he is not as other men.

The project of butldlngaunlon slaughter house with the assistance of the city seems to have fallen through, for the present, at least. Years ago the question was agitated and the council was importuned t« build one at the expense of tho city. The council was willing, but the butchers made such a bitter fight against it that the project was abandoned. This time the butchers favored it, and an outside feeling against it was manufactured, so it has fallen through. Hie health board with several members of the council made tbe rounds of the slaughter houses a short time ago, and with one or two exceptions found them all In the worntklnd of sanitary oondltion—ln fact declared them nuisance*. Experience teaches

that all the sanitary regulations in the world will not keep the slaughter houses clean, nor will they prevent the killing for tho market of diseased cattle. As a sanitary measure a public slaughter house would be a public blessing, and tbe city should own one. In addition to objections to private slaughter houses on account of their filthy condition no per­

son

of them claimed to be

business manager of a paper of wide circulation, yet ho has been allowed to lie iu jail for a week because the parlies represented by him failed to furnish a bond

of

one hundred dollars for his ap

pearanee on the day set for trial. The investigation by the police has brought to light the manner in which scurrilous attacks upon respectable people find their way into print in sheets whose only claim to notoriety is sensationalism and a denial of responsibility on the part of their agents. It appears that Torre Haute has a full quota of wretches who are willing to libel their betters if tbe responsibility can only be thrown on tho shoulders of others. The prosecuting attorney is in possession of a rare assortment of letters written by various persons in several portions of town which are liable to bring trouble to tho writers. Those epistles are one and all made up of attacks upon tho character of porsons who have In some maimer incurred the enmity of those who ponnod them. Each bears the name of the writer (given in token of good faith but not for publication) togothor with his or her stroet and number. As an index of the obaracter of those who will stoop to" such depths those communications have an interest^ while as literary productions they are unique and curious. Of course these pooplo would not have their uames known for the world, but if they are brought up by the strong arm of the law they will probably learn a lesson which will not be soon forgotten. They do noiseom to think tluit tho people who take advantage of such vile channels are of tholr own strip?, and are just as liable to tako the* same advantage of their to foruj*o4« **il)© latter taks of th«ir haploss victims. Fortunately a day of reckoning sooner or later overtakes Hitch pooplo and in tho ease in point it is not in tho dim and distant future.

knows anything of the meat they are compelled to bonsume, but must take the butcher's word for it. If the city had an abattoir which the butchers would all be compelled to use it would be kept in good sanitary condition and would be oflensive to no one if kept near the center of the city it would be self sustaining and there would be a guarantee that none but healthy cattle would be slaughtered there. It would be a saving to the butchers and none of them could object to it who want to deal fairly by the public generally. Such a scheme would be no public competition with private business but would be a sanitary measure for the protection of tho people. The cost of building one would be a tax which the property owners would choeifully bear.

Iu December, 1866, the council passed an ordinance imposing a penalty of not less than three dollars nor more than twenty-five dollars on any person who should knowingly make false,representations as to the quantity of any wood contained in any load offered for sale, with intent to defraud the purchaser, or who should fraudulently construct any load of wood oflered for sale so as to conceal inferior wood, or who should fraudulently resort to any other trick or artifice, by coucealment or misrepre sentation to defraud the purchaser. It further provided for the annual election by tho council of

wood moasurer whose

duty It was to measure all wood oflered for sale, and imposed a penalty for any wood sold without being measured by that official. The fees for measuring wore ten cents for each load, to be palii by tho owner. A measurer was appointed, but the honest granger with wood to sell made it so hot for him that the position was soon vacant, and no one has sought the appointment since. There is also an ordinance forbidding the weighing of a load of anything offered Tor sale while liny wagon. These ordinances seem to bo a dead letter, as no one pays any atteution to thom. The truth of the matter is the city should own scales and have a weigh* master whose duty it should be to weigh all hay, grain, cattle, coal or anything else oflered for sale, and no ono inter ested would object to paying a small fee to be insured that in the purchase or sale he was getting all he purchased, or was giving no more than he had sold. Many people suspect they^re cheated every time thoy purchase a load of coal, and no dealer in town will allow his loads aftor leaving his scales to be weighed on any other,

would meet all tho requirements of the case, and as It would cost the city noih ing the city should have one.

Tho action of congress in makiug its World's Fair appropriation conditional on the closing of the enterprise on Sundays was pretty generally condemned at tho time, and strenuous effort* are being made to have the Sunday closing feature of the act repealed At the time of its passage it was cou sidored a grmt victory for the church people, but it is to be hoped their victory has only been temporary. I^ike Artemas Ward's famous "Wax Worx' the Fair will be a great "moral show," and as such there can be no more harm In seeing it on Sunday than on any other day of the week. It might keep a few people away from church, thereby decreasing the amount of the Sunday col leciion, but at the same time it would keep many oft the streets and out of the saloous. It would be no more offensive to the church goer than th«» Sunday theater, and those who would visit it would certainly derive more benefit from it than they would from many of the socalled Sunday lectures by clergymen who attempt to draw paying houses by announcing sensational subjects in flaming terms. If congress persists in closing the fair gates on Sunday hundreds of thousands will be deprived the pleasure of seeing it who will be no better from a purely religious standpoint on account of the Christianity which keeps them at home. There are many people In this city and every other portion of the country at an equal distance from Chicago who would go up on Saturday night, take in the Reposition on Sunday and be at their post of duty again on Monday morniug, nor would they be any worse moraliy on account of the trip. With such men time is money, with not much of either to throw away, but who are willing to see the ex* hi bits of the world when they can do so economically, and it will be a great injustice to them t! they are prevented from doing so. ..

A prominent gas man was heard to remark the other day that not one of the fine shade trees on south Sixth street will be alive in two yean. He says thai the pavement will cause escaping gas to seek the surface along its edges where the trees are planted and will kill them.

"What! You remember to return my pencil? Marvelous! Surely, you ought to be set on a pedestal as a model for the rest of your sex." Thus spoke a man of whom a little blonde creature had borrowed a Faber, No. 2. "Well," she laughed, "I don't know whether I would have been any more thoughtful than the rest Of womaukind if I had any place to put it." "Ah! That accounts for it then, for I thought there must be some good reason for the unusual honesty," went on that horrid man. "When a woman borrows, whether it is money or mucilage, I never expect to see the loaned commodities again. When she says, 'May borrow so and soT'^it is only a polite way of asking for it, and tbe man who thinks he will ever get it back knows nothing of feminine human nature. Umbrellas are common property for all mankind, but masculine npacity stops right there. Not so with the members of the fair sex. They look on everything as borrowable, which is synonymous for possessable. They don't think it wrong to appropriate others' property so long as they have prefaced Its transference by tbe polite 'May I borrowr Books go for a day and remain for a lifetime. Money never is once mentioned after the primary transaction, and the small things of life such as scissors, pens and pencils are gobbled up with an unconscious naivete that staggers the lender. If a return is even hinted atone Would suppose mortal offense has beea given and the only way to keep in your possession anything you really value is to swear you taven't such a thing when the dulcet 'May I borrow, just for a short time, please,' falls on your ear." «*i:

The pile of correspondence lying on the desk, showing so many forms of chirograpy, so many styles of stationery and so few words to a page, leads us to wonder If the art of letter writing is lost. We area hurrying, restless race.li'nd tfee' brief note or thfc postal card servo to express the message or idea we mean to convey, and the conversations by mail are, owing to laqk of time or the press of social obligations, redu ed to as few words as possible. Even tbos# epistles professing to be letters are notsb. Tbey are as a rule an exasperating hodge-podge of words and syllables almost meaningless. To begin with, people regard it as an insult to their readers' intelligence to write in a straightforward manner from page to page. They start at the first, jump over to the baok and then make a detour to the second, which they write crossways, and end up on the third or at the top of the first, where the date and the affectionate farewell become sadly mixed. Questions asked are passed over as though unworthy of notice, and a letter we had depended upon to give a reply to certain interrogations causes us to gnash our teeth and lose our temper over it*» glittering generalities that have no bearing whatever on the points we are most anxious about. Sentences are short as pie-crust, and elegant composition seems to have been relegated to tbe age whon the "Complete Letter Writer" WHS the model for our correspondence. If you propose to write a letter—not a note or brief communication on a postal card—make it as interesting as you possibly can. Write plainly and clearly, and do not try to mystify your correspondents by the erratic wanderings -of your words from page to page. If questions have been asked, answer them just as you would if face to face, and by every means in your power endeavor to make your letter a pleasure to the recipient, rather than a source of annoyance and vexation.

If anything very doleful ever happens to you, the sting is somewhat allayed if you can only throw the blame of It on the shoulders of some one else. You may feel terribly, but If you can only drag another into it and say "If it hadn't been for you I never would have thought of going into such and such a thing it was all your fault," you will feel much better and represent to the world how you were persecuted against your better judgment. Yet if the undertaking proves a success there is no thought of giving any credit to anyone but our own selves, and we go about, pluming ourselves on our own superior insight. Strange as it may seem, misfortune is doubly hard to bear if we bring it on ourselves by some foolish action. If there is no one else onto whom we can shift the responsibility for a financial landslide, a domestic earthquake or asocial cyclone, we are crushed to the earth with double force. Therefore, in every calamity men and women seek for someone or something outside of themselves and their individual actions on which to rest the blame. When a man fails it is his wife's extravagance, not his own, that brought it all about. If a woman loses her purse she blames the dress mfror for not having put a ,4-

Jiocketin her gown, though she knows In her heart that she herself vetoed that pelf same suggestion, as there was no place for it where it would be handy to ^t at. If a man becomes intoxicated he blames "that confounded system of treating," never for an instant thinking that his own refusal would have averted the evil—treating or no treating. No, it is born in us to blame others for our misfortunes when we are alone responsible for them. This tendency ^develops at a very early age, for even the little tot who cau scarcely speak plainly will, if it tumbles down, turn to the person nearest at hand and lisp forth, "See what you mi de me do." It is the way of the world. We pretend to be very independent and firm, and so we are during our days of prosperity and happiness, but when ventures turn out "badly and the clouds of troub'e gather like the little petulant child we cry out, "See what you made us do."

ft always Has been and in all probability always will be the way of the greater portion of womankind to make ^exhibitions of themselves in street cars when tbe question of paying the fares arises. Either there is the usual little souffle done out of a genuine desire to be polite and pay the otner's way or the counterfeit discussion which is so transparent that those not personally interested can read between the lines and see that both of them are trying to get out of the payment, yet think it necessary keep up a 4ejoi ip§i8t?0Q§ that results in the defeat of one and the proud satisfaction of being,five cents in for the other. All sorts of devices are entered Into to bulldoze the friend out of the fare, and the better actor of the two generally succeeds in getting a ride free. This is the way ft is generally worked: Two ladies enter a car. Ode suddenly becomes engrossed in the reading of an advertisement, while the other regards her for a moment with a fixed stare, and as the conductor approaches fumbles as noisily" as possible in her purse, hoping by this means to attract the absorbed reader's attention. The scheme however, fails, for that advertisement is wonderfully fascinating and it is not until number two has given the conductor a dime that the reader returns and thou it is such fun to uote the sincere air of astonishment with which she regards the vanishing back of the conduotor. "Why, Ethel, how could you ^ou know 1 meant to pay for both, you mean thing you never mind, I will get even next time," and she pats her little purse with a satisfaction as great as the saving of ten times the amount would warrant, while "the mean thing" tries to look coy as though she were wonderfully pleased at her own cleverness, though iu her heart she calls the other a "stingy old thing." Now men make no fuss of this sort, with no question about it, one calmly slips a dime into the conductor's hand and says, "I've paid, Jack 1" in a commonplace, ordinary way, while Jack replies, "Oh, you did?" or some other equally trivial thing, but never accuses his friend of being a horrid, sly thing, with whom ho will manage to get oven some time soon

Since the organization of the Mothers' Relief Association in this city last month more than 200 ladies have joined it, and it is the intention before opening the nursery to have at least 500 members. Eacb member is required to pay one dollar per year, and if 1000 can be secured the institution would be self supporting and the nocessity for begging, to which tho members are decidedly averse, would be obviated. The annual meetings will be held on the first Thursday in October, at which each member will have a vote in the election of directors. Tbe city will be districted and a thorough cauvass made for members

W. A. Kennedy, of the revenue service, has been promot-ed from the position of storekeeper to that of gauger, and J. J.

Kenley is tbe man who was elected street commissioner by the Democratic council last spring, but only for a few minutes, as they abolished the office when they discovered their mistake. Tbe Increased capacity of the distillery will require another gauger, who will be selected from a number of applicant* in a few days. •',

On Thursday morning Jack Murray, a V&ndalia switchman, was crushed to death in the yards here. He had just cut ofi a car, and in moving away his foot caught in a frog. Before he could release himself tbe cars backed down and ran over him, crushing his body in a fearful manner. His wife and two little dauhhters, one of whom is blind, live in Indianapolis. He came here ten weeks ago to do switching, and was going home on the day of his death to visit his family. He was about 35 years old and was a member of the Indianapolis branch of the Switchmen's Mutual Aid Association. The remains were taken to Indianapolis for burial* 4-

Sam M. Young's new comedy, "Zeb," will be presented at Naylor's to-night and from present indications the house will not be large enough to hold the people. "Zeb" has proven to be a money winner and as a "hayseed comedy" is superior to anything ever put on the stage. Manager Young engaged a strong company to present his new play and the press in all the olties they have visited pronounce it A No. 1. The cast includes Mr. Irwin T. Busb, Frank Bowman. Miss Ida Melville, Miss Rose Melville and others equally as well kuown. '•Z -b"' will begiven a oareful stage representation and as It is »n attraction backed by Terre Haute brains and capital our theater goers should turn out en masse on this evening.

THE FAMOUS COW BOY BAND.

Fifty first-class instrumentalists, a group of well known soloists of rare ability, and a special train of Pullman palace cars, constitute the famous Dodge City Cow Boy Baud of Pueblo, Col., who appear iu this city Monday evening, Nov, 28, at Naylor's opera house. The band is under the direction of tbe famous Jack Sinclair, who is believed to be the greatest of self-made musical conductors. His name, as well as that of the magnificent body of musicians under him, is everywhere quoted in glowing terms by the press of this country, and with Vhe aoYQlty and attraotlveness of its progi'Aiama, embracing all schools and introducing the new school of th6 "Music of Prairie Land," the orgauizatibn will undoubtedly be greeted by an audience limited only by tbe sise of the opera bouse.

MAVOURNEKN.

George H. Tessaps and Horace Townsend's great comedy drama, "Mavourneen," will be presented at Naylor's on next Thursday evening, Dec. 1st, by Petous comedy company headed by the handsome young comedian, Mr. Chauncey Olcott. This young man has a sweet sympathetic tenor voice and this singing created a furor in New York, whore all the songs, including Mavourneen are the rage. All of the songs written by Mr. W. J. Scanlan and originally sung by him will be retained. They are all appropriate to the situations of tbe play, and their introduction assists materially in the development of tho story. "Piaiu Molly, O!" is already famous, and has been sung and played throughout the land.'® The "Anld Coun trie" is part and parcel of tbe play, and relates ttie adventures of the hero during his sojourn in America. The "Christmas Tree Song" is also essential, and contributes largely to one of tbe most interesting and touching scenes of the play. In addition to the above Mr. Olcott will sing "She and I Together," "Mavourneen," and "Now, Do. You See?" "Mavourneen" will be handsomely staged. The seat sale will take place Tuesday morning next, prices 25, 60,75 and 11.00. jrUPTTEB.

One of'the events of the season in a comic opera way will be the appearance of Digby Bell and his opera company on Tuesday evening, December 6th. Although Mr, Bell has for years been a favorite, and has appeared in a round of comic opera creations from "Sir Joseph Porter" to "Muley Hassan," this will be his initial bow as a star at the bead of his own organisation* "Jupiter," the opera that will serve to introduce him, is by Harry B. Smith and Julian Edwards, and it has already recived the unqualified indorsement of the New York press and public. It is in two acts and tells tbe story of the Olympic god who comes to earth in search of diversion, falls in love with a Roman maiden, the sweetheart of SporiusOassi us, a cobbler, and transform* himself into tbe guise of the said cobbler to win tbe fair one's favor. Meanwhile the cobbler is taken to Olym-

pus and rules things there, while great Jupiter languishes In jail on earth to answer for crimes committed by tho man be has impersonated. In the dual role of the King and the Cobbler, Mr, Bell has, perhaps scored his greatest success. The topical songs, "I'll Make a Law to Stop It," and 'Twas a Very Old Gag,'f are necessary to tbe unraveling of the plot, and are not dragged in pellmell, as Is often the case. Mr. Bell is acoompanicd by an organization numbering sixty-five people. Among the principals Laura Joyce Bell and Louise Montague are the most prominent. Tbe former appears to excellent advantage as Paudora, the housekeeper of Spurious Cassius, tbe cobbler, while the latter, iik the role of a daring young oharioteer^ look* a picture and acts with tho most charming naivete. J. Aldrich Libbey, the well-known baritone, has a congenial part as Doutatus, a patrieiiui, aud John G« Balden Is very funny as Jupiter's weather clerk. Josephine Knapp makes a pleasing Claudia, aud the beauty in nature is represeuted in tho opera by the Misses Maud and I-luida llollins and Trixie Friganza. Edwin Forrest Jones, the raidget darky of last year'a "Tar and Tartar" is seen as an ^ttendaut upon Jupiter. Tho opera is staged and costumed excellently. There are but two acts iu "Jupiter." The first act shows a magnificent square in Rome,, and the return of the warriors from the field of battle.

Music lovers are promised a treat on December 2nd. Herman Bolistedt's Cincinnati Military Band, consisting of forty pieces, accompanied by four soloists, will be at Naylor's on that dateHerman Bellstedt, tho famous cornetist and leader, is making an unusual effort to have this concert his finest. To make It especially interesting for Terra Haute people, be has headed tho evening programme with an overture wriJfon by an old Terre llaute boy, Jerumo Hill. He is well known In this city and will surely be a drawing card in this entertainment. Arrangements have beea made for a matinee to accommodate ladies and children. This band is considered equal in every respect to tbe famous Gilmore band, whioh has crowded the opera house on several occasions. ^he entertainment is under theauspices of the Senior class of the Polytechnic which has gone to great expense in bringing Bellstedt here. A crowded! house is sure to greet the great leader and his most admirable band. The following aro the afternoon and evening programmes:
