RANDOM SHOTS.

It is a very chilly day when Terre Haute doesn't attract a liberal share of the public attention. This week our State Normal school has been a very large beam in the eye of the state. The trouble originated in the discharge of a teacher named Tompkins by the legally constituted authorities of the school According to the trustees, and they are all five good men, Tompkins has been a disturbing element ever fiage his ap poiutment three years ago to' the chair of literature. It is stated ihat he was imbued with an unconquerable desire to ridicule his fellow teachers and the president of'tbo institution, and that when called to account for it he excused himself on the ground thajyj had been done

At latest accounts tho school was still In tho saw® place and moving along with its auoustomod regularity.

There has been an alarming prevalence of late of shooting sorapes, murders a»4 hangings, nearly all of which can be waeed to tho pernicious habit of carrying oonri'ealed weapons, a habit whkh uo law abiding citizen will contract, and oue which should be discouraged in every ootieeivablo way. Down in Texas, where at one time no man was complete without hi* gun, although he didn't heed it often, but wheu he did need it lie needed it blank-d bad, it has become a penitentiary off-use to carry a concealed weapon. In £«ow Mexico there is a heavy fine for carrying weapons, con-

The trouble probably arises from popularity^ or the abneuce of it, as the may be. A short time ago a popular minister mXkd together some of his to dlecuas some

matter of importance to his church. An account of the meeting reached the ears of a reverend brother, who felt slighted At the next ministerial meeting there was somewhat of a row in which the revernd brother played the the leading role and with warmth discoursed what he called "star preachers." Then last Sunday another divine, if correctly reported, felt called upon to say:' havo worked to build up this church on purely religious principles. I have not resorted to clap-trap, sensational ser mons or Sunday concerts to draw a con gregation. I have preached the old fashioned religion, which is the only way to bring sinuers to God.1" In either one of these cases there was an evident jealousy of the "star preacher," and in the last one the declaimer evidently for got that before sinners could be brought to a senneof their sinfulness they must be cornered in some place where the blessed doctrine of "peace on earth good will to men" can be pounded into them. And when the pounding in process is in operation they like to have it administered to tbem in homeopathic doses, because they are more easily digested. A mild lecture, couched in good English, te always more pleasing to the ear, and accomplishes more good, than the old-time allopathic doses of hades, administered with all the red fire accompaniments, including wild gesticulations and sledge hammer blows on the pulpit.

Fifth street has been even worse than Fourth, but will probably be reached in the course of time. The neglect on the part of the city Is due to the want of funds, and the trouble should be remedied in some way. If this country escapes cholera this year it will be an unexpected blessing, and if it reaches our shores it will be hospitably received in Terre Haute unless there is a change for the better in the sanitary conditions. It seems impossible to impress upon the people of Terre Haute tho importance of keeping their premises clean, and it is more than probable that the day is not far distant when they will wish they had paid more at tentlon to health rules.

The annual attempt to cousolidste the

of the old company $200,000, and that of th? $100,00$. s|ii4 ^hat arhangements have been made for the transfer of nearly all of it, and that't will »U be secured. Of course the change l« made the inevitable advance in the price of gae Will come, although the managers of the new company claim that tho business done by both companlee would pay one of them if the gas is manufactured by the new process. On the other hand it is hinted around that a sale means the manufacture of gas for fuel purposes only and the substitution of electricity for light. It is further said that most of the cheap gas stock is owned by gentlemen who are interested electric lighting. At any rate, If any change is made it will have for its object profit to the Investors and, It i« to be hoped, nothing which will be detrimental to the patrons.

The recent lynching* la this part of

the country have afforded food for thought. So long as they were confined to the South and the victims were negroes nof*much, heed was paid to them, while lynching in the west, where people are on the move all the time and justice is oftener absent than present, an occasional hanging by a mob was taken as a matter of course. In the early days of San Francisco the

and its decisions are good law in Cali-

fornia to-day. But in a civilized community like Indiana or Illinois there must be something radically wrong when the people resort to lynch law. Judge Baldwin, of this state, offers a statement which may, in a measure, oxplain it. He says that in the last ten

years no less than 26,218 murders have

been committed in this country. Dur-

and stood by Mr. Russe* who, they think, will vote to havo the law requiring the printing of tho ritual in English repeal ed by the Supreme lodge. A proposition to instruct the supreme represents tive to vote to repeal the law requiring the ritual to be printed in English only was voted down. A vote was taken on raising the salaries of the grand officers, whlcfi stood 181 to 121 in favor of raising the grand chancellor from $800 to $1,200, the grand master of the exchequer the same, and the record keeper from $2,400 to $3,000. W. W. Byers, of this city was appointed a member of the committee on distriot deputies. Before adjournment Supreme Chancellor of the Supreme Lodge of the World William Blakeweil expressed himself on the German ritual question to a reporter. "I will tell you," he said. "This antagonism to the action of the Supreme Council in demanding that all rituals be printed in the English language i3 by a few *sore heads' who have endeavored to bulldoze the rank and file of the German knights, and from first to last is a signal failiire. "About the meeting to be held by representatives of th'e German lodges in the United States, I will say that it is simply an effort to organize an opposition, and it .will fail as uttely as did the opposition in tho Grand Lodge to-day. Their movement—that is their resolution to instruct the supreme representative—was tabled. The Grand Lodge was negative on the proposition for diplomacy's sake only. Their action is just as pronounced, however. It was an absolute defeat to those who at temped the onslaught. It is simply an effort of 10,000 German to dictate to 400,000 Americans and they can't do it neither can they ran them. It is ridiculous for four German lodges in this State to try to dictate to 376 American lodges. "No, they have found ouyhat they have no $ $ a a Courtesy, allowed the right t9 print their rituals in the German language originally, bat r&gmd tk© right to recall that privilege at any time, and the tltue has arrived for such action to be taken. I am sure over 90 psr cent, of the next Supreme Lodge will Indorse the actioti of the pest one in ths patter."

It is really our belief that to the desire of the feminine world to show to Mrs. So-and-So that they can wear passementerie costing $10 per yard or a chapeau that is loaded down with plumes whose cost is very evident, we owe the sight of so many badly-dressed women that one meets on the street and in the drawing rooms. Let us dress more to please the men, though this may sound as though advice were being giyen that would tend to make women more flirtatious than they really are nevertheless men sho# the best judgment of what is becoming in woman's attire, and you may depend upon it that if you please a man in the way you look you will not fall very far short In the eyes of feminine critics.

There is hardly a woman in the world but who confossees to a feeling of fear when a mouse makes its appearance, and five out of every six will scream if they do nothing else when a rodent runs across the floor, and yet this selfsame woman will make pets of the most extraordinary creatures, far more disgusting and terrifying than a tiny gray frightened mouse, more anxious to gcit away than to remain and disturb the peace of mind of the most attractive woman in creation. Blanche Roosevelt, whose writings are well known both in this country and Europe, became so much attached to a lizard when she was stopping at Qarlo a couple of »ea* Soni igo, ikat she carried it back t6 Paris with her and allowed it to wander freely oyer her neck and cuddle its H086 ija the fine lace that trimmed her corsage.

The meet hideous creatures are always those that are most fondly loved by their feminine owner*, who apparently seem to find their ugliness a fascination that the most beautiful specimens never possess.

Again the season is with us when all of our thoughts tend to out-of-door pleasure and amusements and the younger feminine members of the family cirole are malting particular reokoning on the freedom from restraint that comes with the warm weather months. Say what you will, girls are very different in their actions in subamer from the way they demean themselves in winter they do not mean to become unduly frivolous, but they are like young colts turned loose, and accordingly do many things that are regarded by older and wiser heads as being not exactly seemly or befitting to their sex. There is no one who believes in the good intentions of young girls more firmly than the writer of these lines, but she has seen so many errorb made through the mistaken idea that in order to be attractive a girl must be slangy and adopt a freedom of speech and deportment that argues against rather than for her. You can have justaa good a time if you never forget for one moment that you are a young woman and as such demanding the respect and courtesy of all men, whether old or young, with whom you come In contact. You can row, swim, play tennis and indulge in all the other outdoor amusements that men are especially fond of, and yet at the same time you can be so entirely womanly that the very masculines whose sport you join will never infringe upon the fact that you do all of these things as well as they themselves and treat you i® ^onseq^oc^ a boy. It is perfectly delightful to tramp about from morning Until night in a blazer costume that is comfortable and yet stylish, but it is not necessary to convert yourself into a tomboy in order to prove how thoroughly you are enjoying the outdoor liberty, A man may be very chummy with a girl who talks in the same vein that he and his friends adopt, but the respect of his heart goes out to the woman who is essentially feminine both in summer and winter. Men may admire physical prowess in the weaker sex, but they do not want an Amazon for a wife, mother or sister. The more truly refined a woman is the more she is admired by men. She needn't be namby-pamby, but all girls know what we mean by this little lecture, and if they will bat heed these kindly-meant words there
