TERRE HAUTE FEB. 4, 1893.

THE terrible fatality among great men this neason hasn't Htmck Indiana yet. When it does our valuable attorney general won't he In any danger.

OF the four thoasaod duels annually •fought on French soil the coroner seldom gets a case. The French duelist of modern times ipn't built that way.

ONE of the strongest arguments in favor of a national quarantine and the restriction of foreign immigration is the fact that Tain many is opposed to both measures.

THE scarcity of oysters need cause no alarm. There is an abundance of clams hereabouts, aud they are said to be an excellent substitute. It. would be no loss to the community if they were baked.

AND now it is said that Pugilist Jiixi Hall has signed a two years' contract to go upon the stage. Great lighters never make good actors, but there are many poor actors who could be trained, to make reasonably fair prize fighters.

Sine* the Cape diamond fields were discovered in Africa in 1867, 50,000,000 carats of stones, valued at $350,000,000, have been exported. Still, none of them are lying around loose, nor is there any decrease In their value of sufficient dimensions to place t|em within the reach of all.

IT is said the Republican members of the Kansas legislature actually believe they have elected Josoph W. Ady United States senator. Considering the available men in Kansas Ady would be a very poor selection for such a position. Kansas Republicans know him as a man who has been known to break away from his party to vent bis spite on a successful rival.

WITH ex-Governor Gray in Ihocabinet ns secretary of agrieulturo, Editor Morss in London as consul general, Col. W. E. McLean as commissioner of pensions and Judge A. B. Carlton in some other good position, Indiana and Terre Haute would be very well provided for. Indiana and Torre Haute, liko Barkis, "are willin'." But how about Cleveland?

SOME one who has been locking the matter up says that since the beginning of the government New York has had Forty-two cabinet officers, Virginia and West Virginia together Forty three, Massachusetts Thirty-seven and Penu sylvanla Thirty-six. However, it isn't so much what has been as what will be which now interests the people. What, for instance, is to be done for your uncle Isaac Pusey Gray.

THE Alabama honse of representatives has passed a bill to prohibit the sale, glviug away or otherwise disposing of cigarettes, cigarette tobacco or papers in Alabama. It. imposes a fine of not less than §10 or more than $50, or imprison mont or sentence to hard labor for not more than thirty days, for a violation The bill also prohibits the smoking of cigarettes* in a public place. It should go a step farther mid enact a law for the extinction of idiots who smoke cigarettes.

IIICCKNTLY the steamship Tekoa, of the New Zealaud Shipping company, made the trip from Toneriffe to Auckland, New Zealand, a distance of 12,059 nautical miles, without making a stop and without slacking speed, at an avorage rate of ten kuots per hour, with a daily coal consumption of 21K tous of coal for all purposes. Her dead weight capacity 0,250 tous. Thus she transported a t#n a mile by burning one-half an aunce of coal. As an illustration of the remarkable efficiency of some of the steam tramp vessels this Is a wonderful showing.

THKKK is a bill before the N«w York legislature which provides for submitting to a vote of the people a proposition to bond the state to the amount of $10,000,000, to provide a fund for improving the highways. That is a good way to get the matter squarely before the people. It would afford an opportunity of demonstrating just how mueh stock there is taken in the cry for good roads. It is more than probable that in localities where the people have made good roads for themselves the proposition would be voted down, while in localities where real estate is low and the people shiftless It would carry, because the other fellow would have to bear the burden. That good roads are very desirable requires no argument, but that any state will consent to bond itself to secure them is certainly very doubtful.

It may be iutewsstlng for those who never expect to be president to learn how such distinguished individuals die. Rutherford B, Hayes was the only man that ever held the position of president to die of the heart disease. Washing-1 ton expired of pneumonia. John Adams it.

of natural decline. Thorn** Jeftereon of chronic diarrhoea, James Madison and Jamca Monroe of natural decline, John Quincy Adams of paralysi*, Andrew Jackson of consumption

til SSi

Buren of asthmatic catarrh, William H. Harrison, of pleurisy, John Tyler of a bilious attack, James K. Polk of chronic diarrhoea, Zachary Taylor of bilious fever, Millard Fillmore of natural decline, Franklin Pierce of inflammation of stomach, James Buchanan of rheumatic gout, Abraham Lincoln aasasinated, Andrew Johnson, paralysis, U. S Grant cancer, James A. Garfield assassinated, Chester A. Arthur Bright's disease. Hayes was one of three Methodists to become President, Johnson and Grant being the other two.

THE financial editor of the Harrisburg (Pa.) Patriot makes the assertion that "altogether four million tons of silver' have" been accumulated by the United States treasury under the Sherman silver purchase act." If coined this would produce something like f128,000,000,000 in coin. At the present time the total amount of silver coin in the country is about §525,000,000, and the total yalue of silver produced in the world between the years 1380 and 1880 was $7,435,000,000, representing 193,000 tons. The silver deposits at the mints and assay offices of the country from 1793 to June 30, 1891, was a little less than $002,575,000, so it will be seen that in financial matters the Patriot financier is considerably off in his figures. Probably he meant four thousand tons, but he should say what he means.

IF Judge John Martin, of Kansas, sue ceeds in holding a seat in the senate it will settle the political complexion of that austere and astute body. There are now 30 Democrats in the body, to which New York, California, Wisconsin and Kansas will each add one, with Kyle certain to vote with the Democrats, making 44, or just half the senators, and a Democratic vice president holding the casting vote. In addition to these, there is more than an equal chance for Democratic senators from Montana and Wyoming. If Democrats shall be elected in those states, the senate would stand 40 Democrats, or 2 more than half the whole membership of the body. It is, therefore, entirely safe to assume that the Democrats will organize the next senate and have a clear majority in favor of thorough tariff reform on purely Democratic principles.

HAWAIIAN .ANNEXATION. Last Sunday morning the country was treated to a mild sensation when it was announced that the queen of the Hawaiian Islands hag been deposed that the TJ. S. warship Boston had landed ."DO men and placed a provisional government in power, and that a commission was on its way to this country to urge our government to annex the Islands to the United States.

The Kingdom of Hawaii consists of fifteen islands in the porth Pacific, only eight of which are inhabited. They are about 2,400 miles from San Francisco. The population is about 80,000, and the total area is 6,6*10 square miles. Of the population in 1890, 34,436 w6re natives, 15,301 Chinese, 12,360 Japanese, 8,602 Portuguese, 1,928 Americans and 1,344 British. Nine-tenths of the trrde of the islands is with the United States. The exports consist mainly of sugar, rice, bananas and hides.

Honolulu, the capital, on the island of Oahu is lighted by electricity, and nearly every leading family in the town has its telephone. In 1890 295 vessels visited the islands. The naval aud military forces of the islands consist of the household guards, fixed at sixty-five men. There are no volunteer military organizations.

David Kalakaua, the seventh and probably the last King of the Hawaiians, was born in Honolulu, on November 16, 1836. He was educated at the royal school at Honolulu. He married the CheiftalnesB Kaplolaaa, on February 3, 1863, and after the death of Prince Lunalilo, on February 3,1874, ho announced himself as candidate for the throne, Prince Lunalilo having failed to proclaim a successor. Emma, the widow of Kamehameha IV., the queen dowager, was also a candidate. Kalakaua was elected by an extra session of the legislature.

Queen Emma's partisans attacked the legislature, but were dispersed by marines from the American and British warships in the harbor, and the king was installed.

Queen Llliuokalani is the eldest sister of King Kalakaua, who died on January 20, 1891, In San Fraucisco. She succeeded to the throne. Her husband, John O. Domlnls, long resided in Hawaii. Mr. Dominls accompanied Queen Kaplolani, Kalakaua's oonsort, and the dethroned Queen Liliuokalaol to this country in 1SS7.

The members of the commission are now in Washington, and the outcome of their visit is awaited with interest. Hawaii might with propriety be called the cross roads of the Pacific ocean, being a half-way point and stopping place for ships which traverse it on their way to Austria, New Zeland, China and Japan. Naturally it should belong to the United State*, and with the exception of England it is hardly probable that any of the European nations would object to this country taking it in. But at the same time England wants it her* self, as she wants the remainder of the earth. That, however, should not deter the authorities at Washington from acting promptly. If the people uf the Islands wish to become a portion of this country, and it la desirable that this country should make them so, it should be done without any unnecessary delay, regardless of what England thinks about

The proposition of annexation is not

un-American, some people assert, be-' causa *ome of our mont valuable territory has been acquired that way, and if It i« desirable to get more in a similar

Martin Van manner the good work should proceed.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY ET%

THE bill intended to prevent drugj from selling liquor in this state, at they pay state and county license,| knocked out in the house last TU€ when it came up for engrossment had been reported favorablj' by the mittee, through which it had bee* eineered by the Liquor League lo9 and its passage seemed certain. Infcc mysterious way, however, the druggil got in their work, and the bill is beyond the hope of resurrection.

Unique Employment of Two Wome:

The Woman's New Century guild,vof Philadelphia, now employs two women who go about from house to house to remake or lay carpets, recover a chair or sofa, drape a door or window, rip and clean an old gown and, in short, to dp the countless tiresome things which housewives find it difficult to have done well. To this luxury they add that of women skilled in the serving of appetizing lunches, breakfasts and dinners. These they do not bring in as a caterer, but prepare from the resources of the house. They take charge of the houses, do the marketing, and sometimes remain for several days to take charge of affairs while the mistress is entertaining extra guests.—Philadelphia Letter.

How Rhoda Broughton Looks.

Rhoda Broughton is above the middle height and graceful in figure the hair, rolled back from the low, broad, strong looking forehead, is becomingly tinged with gray over the right temple, harmonizing well with the darker shades on tho neat, well shaped head. The mouth and chin indicate firmness and resolution. In repose the expression might almost bo called sad, but as she speaks the frankness in the gray eyes set well apart at once dispels the idea, and tho pleasant, musical laugh betrays the vein of fun and wit—entirely of an original kind—which runs through her books. —Exchange.

The Children's Teeth.

If a mother wishes her children to "rise up and call her blessed," she must make them go to the dentist. It is not to be expected that her blessing aud its cause will be simultaneous. She will probably earn her blessing with much labor and contention. But let her be firm. Of all physical good there is nothing equal to sound teeth. You little boys and girls, be obedient and brave. Let the dentist do his best for you, and when you are big men and women you will often say, "God bless my mother, who made me use my toothbrush, and heaven smile on the dentist who preserved my teeth!"—Cincinnati Post.

It Does Seem Rather Strange.

•Strange how eu^er the young women are to rush into the literary profession when so many of its'shining lights have failed to realize the highest destiny of woman. In journalist)i there are Kato Field and Gail Hamilton. There are Sarah Orme Jewett, who wrote
