KIwtrie Boad to Forwt I'ark—One Ministmr Would Strike For Another Million, and Another Wonlda't Invert fn Poker. The prosoect of suddenly becoming possessed of a cool million dollars—all one's own—at anj time, would knock a person off bis feet, and at sueh a time as the present, when it would do more than an usual amount of good, makes one dizzy. We have all said at one time or another, "If If bad a million, I'd do so and so," and to find out what some of our people would do under such a pldce of good luck, The Mall this week addressed ^|he following circular to a number of our residents:

It Uin't given to many to become the po*--MNMrimi of •1,000,000, but it Is a common saying that

do so-and-so if bad a million."....We

Here are some of the answers that have been received, showing that we have a peculiarly benevolent and philanthropic lot of citizens, and The Mail is free

WOULD PAY HIS XCB BILL.

Let me begin by saying that the fact 1 possessed that amount would be nothing new to me, for th*o fact is I have all the money I want—I don't think. In the Arst place would subscribe for Mlqae O'Brien's new dramatic weekly, lay In my hard coal* for the winter, buy my boy his winter clothing and shoes, pay Dean McLaughlin his ice bill, also Watson's plumbing bill. I would then enter into negotiation with the following big attractions to come here to Terre Haute and play at Naylor's one week eaoh, via: Paul, Lillian Bussell, America, Sam Young's Zeb, Theodore Thomas'Orchestra, Henry Irving, Sam Jack's Creoles, and others* Then If I had anything left "—but then how could 1 have anything left others have tried the same thing here before and got—left, so I would be compelled to work again for my living or join the Populists. Of the two evils I prefer to work. Yours for $ $ $,

WOULD OPKN A PRlVAlii 1WNK. If I should suddenly come into the possession of one million dollars, I would ilrst send for Dr. W, H. Roberts, our regular physician. Should I recover my normal condition, would despatch for Mayor Fred A. Ross, to whom I would entrust enough money to clean a our paved and asphalt streets for one ymr. Also donate enough to build a atone entrance to our new cemetery set apart a portion for the future, should fly too high buy a through ticket for myself and family to San Franclsoo, ,.fe thenoe continue ny journey around the world. After which, would open a private bank and recuperate.

RXV. HUNTER WOULDN'T INVB8T IN CHICAGO MARGINS OB POKHB.

Whrft would I do with a million dollars? Try me and see. What would I do at midnight looking into the pistol barrel of a burglar? I don't knowmost likely what he wonld advise me to do. I mean by this that I do not know what I would do—probably sot the fool like most people do who come suddenly into the possession of a fortune. Had you word that I was likely to get such a fortune? Like the Mississippi con gressman—a portion of it in cash just now would help to restore confidence. I do not want too much of it in silver. Since you have awakened my hopes, and since I begin to feel like a capitalist, I find tbat gold Or U. 8. bonds have peculiar attractions. No money issued by the state, banks will be accepted. Fiat money may be good enough for the laboring man and to pay preachers' salaries with, but as a capitalist, who expects to hold onto his wealth and does not care to take chances on shrinkage, I do not care for it. I would feel much more secure if even the silver Change had one hundred cents' worth in the dollar. If I were a mere polftioian, bidding for votes and never intended paying the butcher, and had no monied interests at stake, then free coinage, state money and fiat money would be good enough. But when I get that million of which you speak, I propose investing i& and I don't care to see its value shrink some fine day. I want it to be real, genuine money, tbat will have purchasing power at home or abroad, under either Democratic or Republican administrations. I do not mind having my million largely in paper money, if that paper has on it the D. S. stamp and behind it gold and silver (the silver dollar to be worth 100 cents as measured by gold) dollar for dollar. Then, with my million, I would (1) fit me up a comfortable home (2) invest in U. S. bonds (3) loan on first mortgage real estate seourlty (4) buy up a cheap piece of real estate now and then and improve it. It I managed to get six per cent, out of the million yearly, onetenth (or more, not less) would go to the church and charity—that is $6,000 or more. I would will one-half my fortune to some charitable purpose and the balance to my relatives to fall out over. I would not do certain things: Would not uk? a dollar with me to the next world. Ft has no value there. I would not invest in Chicago margins nor bet on putcer. The gambler seldom dies rich!: R. V.

WOULD STRIKX FOR ANOTHER MILLION.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The corner stone of the new crematory building was laid with brief ceremony, on Tuesday last. Dr. Young, chairman of the crematory committee, to whpse persistent efforts—as much as the cardial co-operation of the council—the ereotion of the crematory is due, deposited the stone in its place, and made few remarks, in which he said that h£ believed that the erection of the 3 re mator.v was the most important thing that could be done to perfect the sanitation of the city, and promote the health of the citizens. He referred to the fact that it was but a little more than a year before— August 16,1892, In fact—that the special committee, was appointed to consider the advisability of ereotin^ a anion slaughter house and establishing a more satisfactory solution of the garbage question. The abattoir is completed, and will shortly be put in operation, and the crematory it is expeoted, will be ready for active Use by the 15th of October, and possibly before*

One of the daily papers tells of a ti*im little woman wearing a sailor a&d a pleasant smile," who attract^ a great deal of attention at the UniqBr Depot the other day. The novelty^ pf such a costume would attract attention even on the Midway Plalsance aad it fit not surprising that she caused some excitement. She wasn't at all uneasy under the scrutiny jf the crowd, we are^ informed, but this was explained by the fact that she was from Indianapolis.

Whatever may be the merits of the controversy now going on in one way and another between the board of trustees of the Normal school, and the former students, it is certain that the latter are making a thorough and systematic campaign that Is bound to great* ly affect the attendance when the school opens week after next. The CsrrOll county teachers institute adopted resolutions demanding not only the president's resignation but that alsojof tb! entire board of trustees and the ine®oient members of the faculty the Montrgomery county teachers didn't as tw as their Carroll county brethren, for they only wanted the official s^alpa of president Parsons and. Messra. Briggs and Royse, of the board. In the institute meeting in Sullivan county last weak, an etfort was made to oamrnlt the institute to support of the students, but the resolutions as reported by tbe committee were amended until they read.

but point it out as the one thing that will settle tbe present controversy and insure the peace and prosperity to the school," which leads one to imagine that we'll have quite a good deal of con trovertinjg back and forth before that result is accomplished—and especially as the members of -the board say they would positively refuse to sccept Mr. Parsons' resignation should he offer it.

The shutting down of the car works, and their subsequent partial desttuotion by- Qjre, was a calamity to our industrial interests, from which it will take a longtime to recover, unless tbero is some preconcerted efiort by Our business men, and others interested, to secure tbe rebuilding at onoe. The pay roll when on full time was from $30,000 to $35,000 a month, an amount that means a great deal to nearly every claes of business. One of our business men suggests that a public meeting be called to devise a plan to raise nine or ten thousand dollars towards helping rebuild the works, which with the amount allowed tbe Assignee by the court, would go a long way towards completing the work. Another business man suggests a plan that would possibly meet with greater approval, as It contemplates raising a much larger sum, but not in the nature of ift, but as a loan without interest. He suggests that by a thorough canvass two hundred mSn could be seoured who would loan one hundred dollars each, or a total of $20,000, without interest, payment to be made in twelve, eighteen and twentyfour months, or as otherwise determined* on. The gentleman who proposed this is so sanguine of ,lts success that he offers to be one of a committee tb solicit subscriptions—and soliciting subscriptions isn't the pleasantest job in the world. ________

The proprietors of the works do not ask any help of this kind, but whether they do or not, something ought to be done publicly towards rebuilding such an establishment, that means so much to our workingeben, and the business men they patronize. If the car works were located in some other city, and should propose to remove here, if favorable propositions were made tbe owners^ there would be hustling and Hustling, until this plant was seenred to us. It is true that it will perhaps not bring any more workmen hero right now, but it will prevent many who are now here from going away—and we certainly j'tuiBglect ourjown people iu the

Congressman Brookshire's vote on the stiver question did not strengthen him materially with the members of hlB faith in this locality—that is, the leaders •among whom it was thought the Wilson bill was the one he should have stayed with from the first to last. One quite prominent member of the party— one of the men who get out and hustle •was beard to declare this week that he bad voted the last time for Brookshire. It is the impression thatlf Judge jump gets the eolleotorsbip it mesns there will be an effort made through that office to defeat Brookshire for re-nomina-tion, and this move of the oongresstnatt's be«Uver vote will not give him any ingtii her«^ It la a well lenown fact that "ninety per cent" of the people here who are looked on as the fates who decide such things, are against Brookshire, wbile tbe"ten per cent." for him last year, are all level-headed business men who oppose the compromise measures be voted for, and Were in favor of tbe unconditional repeal of the Sherman mik They will probably look on B.

But here a white arm shot out from a canopy of mosquito netting, and first a boot-jack, then a slipper, then a heavy top boot, came whizzing past the darky's dodging head, and, finding expostulation vain, that faithful servitor bolted out in search of some ally more potent, and found one, though not the one he sought or desired, just entering the adjoining room.

A big fellow, too—too big, in fact, to oe seen wearing, as was the fashion in the sixties, the shell jacket of the light artillery. He had a full round body, and a full round ruddy face, and a little round visorless cap cocked on one aide of a round hod, not very full of brains, perhaps, yet reputed to be fairly stocked with what is termed "horse sense." His bulky legs were thrust deep in long boots, and ornamented, so far a* the skintight breeches of sky blue were concerned, witb a scarlet welt along the

He came noisily in from the broad veranda overlooking the parade ground, gl&cced about on the disarray of the bachelor sitting-room, then whirled on Ananias. "Mr. Waring dressed?" "No-o, suh jus4 woke up, suh ain't out o* bed yii" "The lazy vagabond! Just let me get •t him minute," said the big man, tramping over to the doorway aa though bent on invading the chamber beyond. But Ananias had halted short at sight of the intruder, and stood there resolutely barring the way. "Beg pardon* lieutenant, but Hr.

"Boin' refilled, suh, down to de sto\ but da's a little on de sideboa'd, suh," answered Ananias, dging ovcr thither, now that he had hired the invade® away from the jniarded doorway. "Take it straight, suh, o' wid bitters—

"The lieutenant doesn't care fo* any dis mawnin', suh. I'll fetch him his coffee in a minute. Did you see de cunnle's oade'ly, suh? He was lookin' fo* you a moment ago."

The big red man was gulping down a big drink of the fiery liquor at tha instant. He set the glass back on the sideboard with unsteady hand and glared at Ananias suspiciously. "Is it troot' you're tellinV niggerfc. Hwat did he say was wanted?" "Didn't say, suh, but de cunnle's in his office. Yahnduh comes de oade'ly, too, suh guess he must have hyuhd' you was over hyuh,"

"Hwat the devil's the matter with your master this morning, Ananias?—1 Waringl Waring, I say! Let me in. The K.

"Go to blazes, Doylel" is the unfeeling answer from the other side. ''I'm bathing." And a vigorous splashing! follows the announcement. "For the Lord's sake, Waring, lei® me in.

"Say to him? Poor devil! why, you never can remember after you're drunk what you've been doing the night bo»-^ fore. Some time it'll be the death./(Onn& you. You abused him like a pich^S. pocket—the sergeant of the guard audi everybody connected with it." "Oh, murthar! murther! murtfiorl* groaned the poor Irishman, sitting down and covering1 his face with hw hands. "Sure, they'll court-martial me this time without fail, and I know it. For God's sake, Waring, can't ye let* feller in and say that I'm not here?" "Hyuh, dis way, lieutenant," whimpered Ananias, mysteriously. "Slip out on de po'ch and into Mr. Pierce'* room. IU tell you when he's gone." And in a moment the huge bulk of the senior lieutenant of Light Battel/: "X" was being boosted through a window opening from the gallery into the bachelor den of the junior second lieutenant. No sooner was this done than the negro servant darted back, closea and bolted the long green Venetian blinds behind him, tiptoed to the bedroom door, and, softly tapping, called: "Mr. Waring! Mr.

Waring! get drewed.

But Ananias was already gone. Darting out on the gallery, he took a through the window of the adjoining quarters through which Mr. Doyle had escaped, snatched a long flask from the dressing table and wa* back in the twinkling of an eye. "What became of Mr. Doyle?" asked Waring, as he thrust a bare ana through a narrow aperture to receive the spoil "Don't let him get drtmkt he's got to go to review, sir.
