ON THE QUI VIVE.

"Keel" O'Bryne and Florence Wilkin* walked up Ohio street at three o'clock Thursday afternoon, as free an air. They say, though, that neitlor of them bad cash eaoagh in their pocket* to have bought a Colombian etsmp.

who

habitues stared at them

and then at each other In surprise, and "then the rumor started that "the safe robbers are out." It was a fake. Mr.

O'Bryne and Miss Wilkins, if yon please, were out, but the alleged safe robbers,

now consist of Bruce and his wife and that slippery John Henry, were back in the old Yigo Jail. Forjudge McNntt had just released the red*beaded man and bis pretty girl,, and bad fixed the trial of Mrs. Bruce for Monday, the 26th. John Henry, evidently, will not keep so long, for his trial has been set for Tuesday next.

Will Mr. O'B. and Miss Flossie be interested spectators In the Circuit court ne*tweekf Not if "Red" knows himself. Terre Haute has been too much of a convention city for him, and be would prefer going ss a delegate to some other town, where their horses and police are not so fast. He is tired of acting as a member of the committee on entertainment at Sheriff Stout's.

Tho twelve men who solemnly swore that they would try Frank Brace on the law and evidence, last week, and were shown enough circumstances to have hung a olergyman in old England, gave Bruce nine years at Jeffersonvllle. When Bruce meets Musgrave and they are allowed to #peak In sign language, you can wager a little Iron bank to the new burglar proof safe they are going to get at the Buckeye, that the fellow-con-splrators' opinions of Vigo county will not be flattering but unanimous.

Bruce wants a new trial. It looks to an outsider as if be bad bad a life full of trlsls (as the tramp said to a sympathetic old lady). He will not get a new trial, though for no matter how hard his lawyers may fight for htm, it is not easy for the public to forget that just as great efforts, with just

as

great confidence In

success, were made in the Musgrave case, atad yet "Bobby" wears the black and white and locks his step with felons on the way to meal*.

Last we*k a lawyer told me wfiien I asked as to the progress of the burglary ease: "Oh, it's dragging along-dragging along—it's only a contest between John H, Lamb and Sam Hamlll." And from other sources, I learn bespoke the truth. It between thes« two, Snd th? fact that double quartette of lawyers were m|r ea*e did not conceal the Lamb-Haf dunl. I

Kvery one that ever attended the! trUt* at tue court house knows that Lamb's forte Is speaking to a jury and it Is generally noticed that be speaks laat, presumably to make the greatest eflfeot but perhaps the lawyers can ex* plain (his better than Q, V. Anyway, In th!st'a*e, Hamtll cboso to "drop the pigeon."

To "drop the pigeon" on the state Is for the defense to refuse to answer the often»g argument. The state'** hired attorney* were bursting with su^ppnded eloquence, p"»l the audience had an ap» petite thn» as whetted for nothing but "Spread ea^te" speeches. But UaiulU took a maltaloua pleasure l* letting the bird fall and every feather on it wa« a pouud of lead. The loafers In the court room weredisgusted at the lack of fire works, and the fetid air was blue with disappointment. The crowd stayed, though, and craned their necks like the audience at the opera home does when one of anion's transformation scenes are on the boards.

The bailiff very ktndl.v gave me a seat near to the Itev. R. V. Hunter, of the Presbyterian church, who came to hear Lamb apeak and I was struck with the resemblance, In some particulars, of the preacher to the "blue eyed boy of destiny*" Possibly neither Hunter nor Lamb would be flattered at the thought of being compared but force and virility Coupled with brains are rare qualities in tblaag*.

Ed Cox, the young lawyer, and Ernest Meisael, of the city engineering corps, joined the benedicts Tuesday. Rumor has it that MeUsel's bride insisted that Ernie should unite with the Catholic church before she would unite with htm while Cox told his Inamorlta that one profession of vows was enough for him. it is hard telling which we admire the raw*: Mrs, Metse*!, for carrying her rellf^n to the altar of Hymen, or Cox, for lousing to embrace a faith to win a wlfcv The Ml*w» Fris* were harming girls, and it Is no wonder that the *wo young men, who were the flower of the Jaotrsan eiubv fell In lore with them.

4r S. S, of the slate of fudfctna held their eeeond annual convention In Terre Haute this weefc, and all the saloon* were deroratwd with banting and with

Ua$s. Xo, not all of them, tmt the big ones were, «uch as the Health Office, the Annex, the Opera House Exchange, the Bank, Monning^r A May, Caasidy, the StslEi, Alex Sandleon, Ed Johnson and the Jngp boy*. The "small fry'

saloons (as the L. S. K's call tbem) have an organisation of their own^ called the Terre Haute Liquor Dealers' Association, and the bitterest enmity exists between the two factions. The Main street resorts control the L. 8. K. L. and Wilson Soale is the man they swear by While the T. H. L. D's cater to the smaller shops, although they have a number like the Roaches, Stack, Fatty Weldele and Scbaal (yes, and many more) who rival the best on the avenue. The Foley boya are the guardians of this opposition crowl. andif you want to hear the pedigrees of the L. B. K. L., just get the younger Foley to talking at the Terre Haute some autumn evening.

Soale is denounced in tel-ms that would sting if he could but hear the Liquor Dealers talk, but as they don't pay bis salary, and the Licensed Saloon Keepers' League does, he saws wood and siges receipts for his monthly salary. lave we reached the acme of trotting?

Hh all their boasts and gold purses, it looks as if no other track can beat our own. Yet it caused the cold shivers to run up the average Terre Hautean's back when Nancy Hanks honored Indianapolis by going at 2 0i%* Thank heaven for that

And this week we waited with bated breath to hear from Doble at Chicago. He lowered the record of their track, but never touched ours. Just think of our fleet footed Nancy sprawling over that Washington Park course in 2:06. It nearly killed her, the judges said. But the knowing gossips stuck their tongues in their cheeks, and said that Doble was reserving her for Terre Haute.

Wrong, gentlemen, all wa^Mf. Doble likes a 110,000 stake better tbife tickling the pride of Terre Haute. He whipped the mare till her eye-balls started, but the watches stopped at 2:06. It was the track, not Doble or the horse, that failed.

Fleetwood and Mystlo, Washington Park and even Indianapolis tracks are corduroy roads compared with that of the Terre Haute Trotting Association— the only 2:04 track In the world.

XT. 8. SECRETARIES OF WAR. Of all our war secretaries, Henry Knox served the longest ti me,—six years, from 1789—4795,—and John McLean the shortest time, says a writer in "Blue and Gray." During the year 1841 the office changed hands no less than four times. Of all the half-hundred incumbents of tb&peoretarysbip, only four—Jamea MoHenry, John Bell, Edwin M. Stanton, and Robert T. Linooln—held office un*

these ssrved'ttndfer two administrations, interesting to note that two seoreof war—James Monroe and Ulysses ^rant—became presidents, besides erson Davis, the. confederate leader, held the office under Pierce, 3fer-

JLps

the most famous ocoupants of the office after these were John Marshall, John C. Calhoun, Edwin M. Stanton, aud William T, Sherman, one of the very few soldiers who have held the position. There are ho less th«n ten ex-secretaries of war still living. They are General John »M. Scho* field, now commanding the army Senator James Donald Cameron, of Pennsylvania Kobert T. Lincoln, lately minister to England George W. McCrary, and Alexander Ramsey, both of whom served under Hayes William C. Eodlcott, who held the office throughout the first r'eveland* "administration, and President Harrison's two ex-secretaries, Red field Proctor and Stephen B. Elklns. The present secretary, Colonel Lament, la one of the youngest who has ever filled the position.

Thursday of race week, September 28, besides being Nancy Hanks' day, is to be made still further notable by a formal opening of the new Hulman building. H, Hulman and Co., have invited all business men through' their territory who do business with them, to attend the opening, aud will entertain the visitors In royal style, and in keeping with the enterprise shown by* this great firm. In the evening a banquet is to be spread at the Terre Haute, which will be the biggest thing ever attempted In that line. Accomodations will bo provided for between 2,000 and 8,000 people, and In addition to the large dining mom the beautiful lawn north of the hotel will be covered and enclosed with canvas, so that In all 2,400 persona can be seated at once. The floral decorations will be furnished by John 0. Helnl, and the Ringgold wilt discourse its sweetest music during the banquet. •& It Is said the opening and entertainment will cost the firm not less than $10,000, and very likely more, and as said before, It is in keeping with the live, progressive spirit manifested by Hulman and Co,, who have done so much for Terre Hauua's property.

Frank Bruoe, the Buckeye safe robber, was found guilty by the Jury on Tuesday evening and given nine years in Jefiersonville. The jury was out four hour*, and in addition to the Imprisonment gave Bruce a fine of 1506. Bruce was not placed on the stand, and no evidence was offered in his behalf, his attorney* endeavoring to «ecaze hi* acquittal on technical grounds.

When I got my first and last engsgement, the joy was as great to my feverish and stage-struck brain as apiece of ice to a man who placed the lighted end of his cigar In his mouth I did not, like the schoolboy, throw up my hat and yell "beautiful snow." I committed a more flagrant mlsdemanor, I threw up my job, and b£gan to subsist on air and future prospects—how lon$I should have lasted on the aforesaid meals I am unable to say but I was rudely disposed of, like afire sale In the month of May, by a call for rehearsal, and In the company of a few. unpaid bills and a blackface comedian I left the city and began "work*'—pure, unadulterated work—no sham—all wool and, three feet wide, 4»belfod "rehearsals."

But could they Afll them with their long curling locks, a wistful, wondering-if-well get-out-of* town look upon their face's and the appearance o' a man who has lost his laundry ticket, in the hustle to make outward coverings meet the public demand, they would realize that "all is not gold that glitters.^

I think if the father and mother who are burdened with a stage-struck oh lid, would turn him loose upon the world for a short (I say short, for I feel he would make it so) season with a company that take up all their time hvtetllng for mrals, wrestling for breath, worry* ing abont receipts, lassoing an unsuspecting audiencej and then manage to sandwich in a little acting to vary th# day's performance, he would perhaps be satisfied without further demonstration, that if he ever got back to hom^ and mother, he would never venture forth again except under strong theatric cal protection. If I were to be asked the best cure for stsge inflicted people, I should say th»t a well-balanced olub in the hands of a well-regulated father would strike the bull's eye, if you wished to employ a home product.

After it month's trial we deolded to "try it on the dog," a slangy theatrical phrase, for a first performance. As Iliindls was the nearest boundary line, we made for the land of "suckers," and I made my professional debut in a part I was better able to play, as far as personal appearance was oonoerned, later In the season than at that time—that ojf a wild and woolly Texan. In a vain attempt to' faithfully Impersonate thei character, and In a moment of forgetful* ness, I agreed to "sing" in a trio, eacb member of Which knew as much aboutf music as the majority of people do about' the silver question, and whose vocal chords were sadly In need of arrangement by Theodore Thomasor an equally well -k now Irector.

The position of advance agant In the Smaller towns is not the snap it looks to bej as most of tbem have no bill poster, and he is oompdlled to post them himself, as he goes forth in haste, with bills and paste, to proclaim like our jlm Dishon, that men are wise, who advertise, and it takes Ginger to get a position." One deep, dark, eojd night in December^ our advance ^ent, who had been out for a walk, returned to And the hotel closed, the depot in alike 3 ^psitlon, and no box oars open he was compelled to walk, with nothing to Interest him but retrospective memory, views of a downy feather bed (at home) and an occassional fox crossing his path, while he aroused himself from his lethfirgy in the morning by firing an engine for a ride into the town he left the day before,

Nothing of particular iliferisstoiMrred .until we ventured into Missouri. Now "Misery" is a state no one has been able find the origin of, except it was in honor of the old proverb, "Misery loves company." We arrived in a town at 4:80,.without a,particle of billing, and were to play there that night, One of the boys, with paste and brush, proceeded to cover every front door and plate glass widdow In the city with our bills, others put out picture frames, while the manager engaged the town band to play, a few .selections.

But the startling beauty of the stage was the abundance of wasps ofall sizes—notlmitation, but the simonpure wasps. Seven hateful were emptied into the stove and still the conquering heroes came. The janitor was asked what the people did when the stove got in its.work and said "he guessed they could stand it—they hadn't lived In

Missouri for nothing." As luck would have it, we were playing a farce-comedy in which everything went with a slap and daah (mostly slap) and we were not startled, after the audience were seated and the stove responded nobly, fo sea a lady, hast!iy vacate a chosen seat and take refuge on the railing of the bench, while the air resounded with the buWtngof wasps and the scenery at our baallwas covered with crawling, accenting, comma-pointed wraps, while the jtowja band played "When the swallows homeward fly," "Tant-boom-de-ay "and Comrades" ("After the Ball" was an unknown quality then) in a vain attempt to a?ax a few more stragglers in to try die wasp remedy for restoring suspended

to aspirants for histrionic honors, though.lt may be like a lemon to a sea sick person, is to try it a whirl—use your own judgmentasto timefof whirl.

A young man wrote Sam Young, Terre Haute's enterprising and popular manager, asking for a position, stating he was six feet tall, dark complex ioned, free from oorns had long hair and short experience, bnt was willing to work aud ended his letter by saying, "some one has to fill Booth's shoes and Why not I." If you should run acrosts a person looking like he bad met the large end of a revolving bananapeel sidewalk, take

him aside, ask

him if he is stage struck if he Is, take him into a secluded spot and tell him how C. W. Couldock, who had a "stick" in his company/ was walking up and down oursing him and the fates that brought him there, when he was accosted by the actor who said "he should notourse him as he was doing the best he oould," whereupon Mr. Couldock exolalmed in his tremulo Hasel Kirke voice, "Oh! I don't blame you a bit. But I'm looking for the blanketyblank idiot that told you you oould aotl" and if this don't satisfy him, let film go, for you might as well try to stem the tide of publio opinion a» to change the mind of a stage-struck aspirant who has "got it bad." Nothing will stop him. The only remedy is plain, common every-day experience, and lots of It. WIIA K. Hamilton.

SHOULD A MAN MARRY A SECOND TIMRf A party of women were having a little confidential ohat the other day, giving their views in turn, upon the subjeot of their husbands marrying again if they were ever In a position to do so without being arrested for bigamy. Said one, a wife of a year, with great trusting blue eyes, "I think it would kill me If I knew for certain that Tom would ever love another woman* I think marriages are made for time and eternity and I am perfectly certain that It was never intended for a man to have more than one wife It looks positively Indecent to see three graves, marked by headstones, each one of which bears a different name but all representing that 'Here lies the wife of John Jones,' while in all probability Mrs. John Jones the fourth Is at that moment prancing around in full and vigorous health. It* is decidedly confusing at any rate." f/

"A man needn't necessarily have four wives," objected a mild-voiced matron, who had been married twenty years, "and for my part I think it is complimentary to the dead wife to have her husband plunge again into the sea of matrimony instead of acting as though he had oxperlenced such agony with the first wife that one experience was enough for him. All I ask is for my husband to wait a decent length of time before bringing home wife number two. "Men are so helpless, you know, that they really need a woman to look after them. I don't see any use of a widow marrying again, but with a man it is very different. Now, I've been married twenty years, and yet I don't believe that John could find a pbeket handkerchief, e^en though it was placed right before his nose. He always rumples up everything in the bureau drawers, and then declares that the object he is looking foi Is not there, and in the summer when I go away he loses half his wardrobe either at the laundry or in trains or restaurants. "1 believe that man was never meant to live alone, for the simple reason that be is the most dependent creature -alive and needs more fussing over and coddling than a six-months-old baby. Therefore, I say again I don't blame widowers one bit for getting married again jut soon ae possible." "Your remarks are all very trne," pouted the bride, "but just the same I don't want any other woman to do the petting and looking after. I'd rather think of Tom roaming about the world minua«Hliar buttons and umbrellas for the rtifttf his day than dwell upon the thought or another woman acting as understudy to his memory for him,*'
