TERRE HAUTE, IND., SEPT. 30,1893,

CoROETT and Mitchell have signed the articles of agreement to a fight to finish in December next, and an anxious public can now breathe freely.

TRAIN robbing will not be such a popular amusement from now on, as the expressmen and trainmen are being armed with shotguns. The horse being gone, Use stable doore will now be locked

^TKNXBSSKK has purchased nine thous and acres of coal lands, and is going in to the business of coat mining, using her convict labor for that purpose. It's mighty poor business is the best that can be said of it.

|b TUB judicial apportionment of the state made by the last legislature has been declared unconstltutinnal by the

Supreme court. If there is any act of v'" that legislature that is constitutional it ought to stand up and be counted

R?V' THK professional train robbers having yl, r. successful in their recent raida, amateurs are now imitating them in various parts of the country, but with I indiflerent success. Thus far death and a prison cell have been all the booty the Vi" amateurs have succeeded in securing.

THK Louisiana rice crop is going to waste, because of the recent lynchings near New Orleans, which drove the colored laborers away. But the Louisi ana planters would rather lose their rice crops than acknowledge that the negroes have any rights they are bound to respect.

ALb roads lead to Chicago now, and the railroads are being taxed to their utmost to accommodate the crowds that flock to the great fair. The passenger earnings of the railroads for the six

months of the fair will no doubt exceed

,ii I any corresponding period, but they will be needed to olTnet the great falling off

V'H

in freight traffic caused by the slump in 'business. THK World's Fair exeoutive committee has decided that the big show shall be closed October 80th, as originally planned, instead of continuing until '^January 1st, as has been proposed.

'they Intended continuing it, the mem'bers of the committee are altogether too smart to announce it now, as It would

..affect the attendance, and when it gets oold many would give up visiting it at all.

CONORBSSMAN BnooKsinitK HSILEEFIFID the Hppolutment at (Jrawfordsville as postmaster of a man of some celebrity as a "wing" shot. He Is expected to lend his ansistanoe to Mr Rmokshlre in bringing down the eollectorsblp bird in Montgomery county, to Mr. Hulett, who 1h deputy auditor there, but who wants to st»e how he will til in the shoes of the man from Orange, who at present signs himself collector of Internal revenue.

M«. VAN AtKN, the New York-New-port-London dude, who was appointed euibnssador to Italy as a reward for his contribution of fifty thousand dollars to the Democratic campaign fund last year will not be confirmed by the Senate, according to reliable Information from Democratic sources. He Is one of those idyllic souls that can find nothtng good enough for him in this rude, unoultured laud, and spends most of his tlmeabroad. Ho should locate there forever, but not as one of our diplomatic representatives-

OrrictAt statistics do not furnish any very satisfactory evidence to the enemies of the national banks, who are determined to wipe thorn out of existence in favor of state banks. From January to September five hundred and sixty state and private banks failed in the United States, and of these seventy-two, oY about thirteen per cent., have been able to resume business. During the same period one hundred and fifty-five national banks failed, of which number seventy, or nearly fifty per cent., have resumed,

THK president has snubbed Carl Schur*, and that worthy baa gone into permanent retirement its a result of it. That Illustrious statesman, who has been on every Imaginable side of every public question, thought Grover couldn't run the government without his advice, but when he discovered that the inmate of the White House was going to undertake the task, broke hi. heart. The tto«ble with Schur* Is that he postponed his retirement two deoadee beyond his usefulness, and his action will not clog the wheels of Industry or j»lltios to any ex tent* v. Sit ?4ih

THK Attorney General, Green Smith, t* out in an Interview, In which he demm that the infamous bill under which the Roby disgrace was permitted, was eonoelvsd In his office, and assarts that be had nothing at all to do with it. He •tatee that the bill in question, together with other jobs, was lobbied through fcy a combination between oorpotmiion repr«*entativ«s and other* who were inter•sttd l» the dlflterent bills, hot sst* op ignorance as the «xoos« for the

lators who enacted the objectionable laws. Whether it was due to ignorance or corruption, it Is certain that cur last legislature enacted many laws against the best interests of the taxpayers of the state, and it is to be hoped that it will be along time before we have .another like it.

"SoM.Tr" SKITH, the prize fighter who was defeated by Dixon, the colored boy, in New York Monday night, left tbe scene of bis defeat only to walk into the arms of an Indiana deputy sheriff, who arrested him for the part he recently took in one of the Robey fights. From defeat to the stone pile in not a pleasant prospect for a prize fighter, yet this is what stares Smith In the face. But the stone pile is worse than defeat, for work has no attractions for a pugilist. He toils not neither does he spin, but he wears more diamonds and better clothes, a* a rule, than the workingman can afford.'

SENATOR STEWART took occasion to speak his mind about President Cleve[large land In the Senate this week, for the latter'* effort to "run" the government in all its branches, legislative as well as executive. There is some ground tor the silver Senator's complaint, but his criticism lost its sting from the fact that Stewart Is displeased by the president declining to administer affairs to suit the silver contingent from the west. It is a notable fact that with the majority of the senators of the president's political faith not one could be found to defend him from the aspersions of the Senator from Nevada.

....

SPEAKER CRISP seems to be out-Reed-Ing Reed in bis rulings in tbe House, and tbe Democrats who condemned Reed, and the Republicans who endorsed him, now find the conditions reversed. The former agree that Crisp is the most just and upright parliamentarian who has ever wielded the speaker's gavel, while the latter unite in denouncing him as a czar. No matter which view of the case is correct, the majority is bound to rule. Should this majority enact laws to stifle the popular will, and legislative correction of it' be Impossible, revolution will wrlght the wrong, whatever the party that perpetrates it.

'THK Populist Senator from South Carolina, Irby, has charges on ttie police docket at Columbia, of being

THK case of Jarndyce vs. Jarndyce is recalled by a case that has been drag glng through the Missouri courts for over thirty years, twelve of these In tbe federal oourts. It is known as the famous Oyster case, and a transcript recently filed filled over fourteen hundred pages, making two volumes of typewritten matter each about six inches thick. The litigation is over the estate of Abraham Oyster, who died in 1862, leaving a large estate to be' divided among his heirs. And now, although nearly all the principals to the original suit are dead, their heirs and their heirs' heirs continue the fight in the oourts, and will continue to do so until there isn't enonga left for the lawyers' fees— and Chen the case will come to an abrupt end. There is nothiug that so tends to bring litigation to a stop as the possibility of the lawyers not being able to secure their fees. Litigation is their business, but litigation without remuneration—like taxation without representation—is not very popular, and when that stage is reached as a rule their interest very sensibly ceases.

IF anyone things ex-Speaker Reed Isn't having a good time in Congress as he goes along, despite his party's woful minority, that person is badly mistaken. The Democratic governor of West Virginia appeared before the ways and means committee recently, and made vigorous appeal for the retention of the duty on coal, and when his Democratic friends on the committed took him to task for this heresy to the platform, he replied that his state produced an immense amount of coal, and he thought it ought to he protected. Then Mr. Reed remarked that he thoroughly agreed with the governor, and he would like to have his assistance in bringing the Democratic members of the committee to the same understanding of the question. Mr. Reed said he had lo vain attempted to explain to the Democratic members the fallacy ot their position,

druDk

and

carrying concealed weapons, and when be sets foot in that city again he will be arrested—unless he sets up the plea that he is on government business, and can't be detained. The poky ways of the body to which the Senator belongs are enough to diive one to hard drink, but this was not tbe reason he assumed the "jag" that has brought him into disgrace. A couple of minor postoffices in his state were filled by the President with men to whom Irby was opposed, and over his protests, and he immediately filled his system with bad liquor and went all the way to South Carolina to carry the bad news to his henchman, Gov. Tillman. And this is the "statesmanship" on whioh the country is expected to rely in her hour of need. A plague upon it!

_2"As'i"

but with tbe assistance of a Democratic governor, elected on a Democratic platform, he might finally accomplish his purpose. There was a laugh-all aronod, and the governor retired in the midst of it, not so certain that Mr. Reed's assistance would give his arguments any additional force.

THE name of Cameron, which through father and son has

entitles her to a more creditable repre sentation in the senate than is given her by Quay and Cameron, who hold their seats not for any distinguished ability as statesmen, but because they are able to "fix it up with the boys."

TO RESTBIOT IMMIGRATION. One of the questions that our law makers will have to face within a decade is that of restricting foreign immigration, that is, undesirable immigration. It is a question that for many years has been thrust aside, for political reasons, but the time is coming, and it is not so far awa, when there will be such a demand for the passage of a reasonable law on this subject that thos» of our legislators who cannot reBd the signs will be driven to the rear.

In the House, this week, a Kansas member introduced a bill with thiH epd in view, which provides that It shall br unlawful for the commanding officer of any vessel to receive any alien passenger bound for the United States if an examination disoloses the fact that such person is unable to read or write that his passage has been paid by any other person, company or corporation who does not possess, if a single man, the sum of $300 if a single woman, $100 if head of I family, $500, or who is not mentally or physically sound who has ever been In prison for any infamous crime or misde--meanor involving moral turpitude who has been in an almshouse or supported by charity within two years who is a polygamist, Anarchist, or under contract express or implied to .perform labor in the United States.

The passage ot this measure would be far-reaching and tend to materially restrict immigration, and that is what all but extremists favor. The man who could prove to the satisfaction of tbe Castle Garden authorities that he has paid his own passage money and is aWa to read and write his native language, has |300 in cash, and is mentally and physically sound, who has never been in prison for an infamous crime, or an objeot of charity within two years, who is not a polygamist or an anarchist, and not a contract laborer—the man who could pass such an examination aa that it is safe to say would make a first-class citizen, whether he be born in Russia, Poland, Hungary or Italy.

Perhaps the Kansas man's restrictions are too sweeping, but they are not nearly so radical as some that have been advanced, tending to prohibit rather than restrict. Prohibition is not a very popular measure in this country in any sense, and a reasonable restrictive law that will prevent the criminal and vicious classes from being thrown on us, and will at the same time give us an opportunity to increase our population by the addition of tbe clean, healthy and thrifty classes, will find favor. More especially will it find favor with our working classes, whose condition is first and most deeply affected by the addition to our nutobers of those who make up the undesirable immigrants.

A VULGAR HABIT.

A clever, observant woman, recently returned from one of the fashionable summer resorts, speaks with amazement of the rapid increase of the habit of openly using toothpicks. The fact that they are placed on the hotel tables generally throughout the United States Is no possible exouse for the continuance or growth of a habit that is to the last degree disgusting. That the offense is alarmingly on the increase among peo pie otherwise well-mannered is a fact as true as deplorable.'

ABOUT WOMEN.

One-third of. the California fruit ranches are either owned or managed by women. 5^3

Tbe girl who dances the average amount will travel about twelve miles in an evening.

Sarah Cross, of Bristol, Ky., is eighteen Inches high and fifty years old. She is bright and intelligent.

Sirs. Mary Murphy, of St. Louis, Mo., who died recently aged one hundred tmd six, had cut her third set of teeth.

Even the woman who "Never does anything dlflerentior company" always likes to knows day beforehand when company Is coming, just the same.

The first colored woman in the United States to fit herself for practicing dentistry is Miss Martha Jordan, of Dallas, Texas. She is studying her profession at Denver University. S

Mrs. Anna Moore, president of a National bank at Mount Pleasant, Texasr and tne only woman who fills such an office in the United States, is said to possess remarkable business tact.

Mrs. Cleveland is in receipt of a box eaoh of oranges and lemons from a fruit dealer in Sorrento, Italy. It bears a brand, "Queen of the White House." The fruit was packed in handsome boxes with the greatest care.

Pstti, otherwise Mrs. Nicollni, though now past middle age, is going to make another American farewell tour to rake in the American shekels. She is to receive 140,000 for forty concerts. She Is now too old to appear in opera.

The papering of a room with bills of fare is not at all new. It has been done before and there is a lady in Philadelphia who has a room papered with mena cards and other favors from dinners andentertainments she has attended.

Mrs. Bayard, the wife of the embassador to England, has already been successful in her appearance at court. She made a pleasant impression during her Istay at Windsor, and her charm of manner and brilliancy of conversation have won her an enviable place in the best

London sooiety. A daughter of Ole Bull, the once famous and not yet forgotten violinist, and his namesake, is about to go on the stage, after a very brief acquaintance with the footlights, having traveled with Miss Marlowe for one season. She is a tall, slender, graceful girl, and in private life is very attractive.

Miss Mary Wheeler, a beautiful and wealthy Philadelphia girl, who married the German Count Pappenheim two or three years ago, has left him on account of his cruel treatment. She refused him as liberal an allowance as he thought he should have for conferring the honor of his nama on her, hence his treatment.

Gertrude Vanderbilt, whose coming out will take place this winter, will enter sooiety under more auspicious circumstances than any Amerioan girl heretofore. She is the daughter of Coruelius Vanderbilt, the head of the family. She will be the wealthiest girl in the United States. And, as if there were not enough blessings, she is a pretty young person of eighteen, with bluegray eyes and mobile features.

A bombshell has been hurled by the commissioners of the county fair of Perry aounty, Kansas, among the farmers' daughters who paint startling plaques and impossible landscapes and embroider gaudy hammock spreads for exhibition and competition attheoounty fairs by tbe announcement that the prise premium in this department will be given "for the best, neatest and most complete pair of patched pantaloons."

There is in the world just one woman trainer of race horses. This Is an Englishwoman, Mrs. Cballoner, the widow and tbe sister of well-known jockeys. When her husband died she knew how to manage his training establishment and successfully continued his business. Her eldest son is a trainer and the four younger ones are all good jockeys. Their mother is an excellent horsewoman and goes out on the heath at Newmarket every morning to see her horses do their work.

WHAT 70 DO WITH. YOUR MONEY: Don't waste your money. Even if you do not desire to use it yourself, let it be of service somewhere. There are various methods of disposing of it that are distinctly uns«lfiah.

You can put It under the corner of the carpet for the roaches to play with, and when the roaches get tired of it some industrious mouse with domestic cares on her mind can use it for upholstery parposes. There is nothing that tickles a refined mouse more tha* a few huadred dollars turned into bedroom furniture.

Or you might put it in a teapot on tbe top shelf of the cupboard. And when tbe hired girl wants to go to a pieoie she may stumble across it and forever bless you for your forehandedness.

Another wmy is to put it in an old stoeking and hang it tip in a clothes pxws.' When some other member of tbe family concludes to get rid of some of the accumulated trash this will make the ragman very happy.

You might carry it around la yotir pocket, and by so doing draw it oat while looking for letter, and leave !t for some pedestrian who w« **eieas and did not save his money. A*

Than other ways to be unselfish, bat these rules are simple, direct and

must tell ber a ge. According to a recent decree of the Austrian oourts of law, concealment of age 00 the part of a bride, ta sufficient

of bis wife's having pretended, at the time of Its celebration, that she was fifteen years younger than her real age. It is the first time on record that a marriage has been dissolved on such grounds as these, and were this interpretation of the law regarding "fraud in marriage" to be accepted in other civilized countries a very serious state of affairs would probably result therefrom.

This Interests You.

When times are hard, when work is scarce, and money is hard to get hold of is the time when the prudent man will give renewed thought to the question "What would my family do were I suddenly called away." Such a time is the proverbial "rainy day" that should be provided for, and what better way to provide for it than by life insurance in some safe company. Many men say, however, "I can't afford it—I'm too hard up," and therein lies the very weakness of their argument. When a man is in such a condition, the more deplorable would be the fate of his family should he die without life insurance, apd tbe stronger the reason he should invest in it. If you are looking for life insurance—and if you're not you ought to be—what better company to take out a policy in than the time tried John Hancock Mutual Life Insurance Co., of Boston, that has for its local agents the well known Ohio street firm, Power & Daily'. This company has larger assets in proportion to its liabilities than any other life insuranoe company doing business. It is a mutual,level premium, old line company, managed on an economical and equitable basis, and its (policies are subject to the Massachusetts non-forfei table law, which secures to the policy holder the privilege of discontinuing his policy and obtaining either cash or paid up value therefor. And these conditions are endorsed on every policy issued and made apart of the contract—for a life insurance policy is a contract between the company and the assured*. It is to the interest of every man, therefore, to buy the very best contract obtainable, and where can you obtain a better one than with the John

Hanoock Mutual Life? It has no incomprehensible terms, intricate technicalities or exaggerated estimates, but its conditions and agreements are so plain and straightforward that ovon a child oan understand them. In point of liberality, equity and simplicity their policies are unrivaled*, and tbe oost is so trifling that it'will never be missed. Between the ages of 20 and 25 Jt co^ts but from 4 to 5 cents per day for eaoh $1,000 between 25-and 35, from 5 to 6 cents per day between 35 and 45, from 6 to 10 cents per day, and so on. What man—at^d especially what yowng man with a family—can afford to take the chances of dying uninsured and leaving his family unprovided for when reliable insuranoe* in an old aud substantial company can be had'at such small cost— less than his cigars or tobacco cost him daily. Now is the time to invest in life insurance, and no better company oan be found than the John 'Hancock Mutual. Power fc Daily, the agents at 509 Ohio street, will be glad- to explain the merits of the company to you. They are also agents for tho reliable Fidelity and Casualty company, of New York* that writes all kinds of accident insurance, Including plate glass, boilers. et& They also do a general real estate business, and have many bargains to offer those who desire to make am investment or purchase a home

Terre Haute people will remember the Dr. J. S. Jordan, who was formerly a wagon maker here, but who branched out as an M. D:, and'was very successful. He is now in Indianapolis, and his picture in his advertisements shows him with set of whiskers that outclass Pefters.

Francis Henry Week«, the New York embezeler who fled to Central America, is expected to be brought back to face tbe victims from whom he fiilfrhed some f1,100,000 -He was of fine education, high social standing, and excellent ability.

The numerous visitors to the races say they never saw as fine laundry work as that produced by the New Method Laundry Co. They have nothing but tbe best, and know what "hey are talking about—it is the finest on earth.
