MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The stringency In money matters that affecting nearly every branch of business in the country has struck the financial department of the local government, and the City of Terre Haute Is to-day practically penniless—or would have been but for a f10,000 loan that was made yesterday. But for this fortunate loan, made at a time when it is not easy to borrow, the coming week wonld have seen her warrants refused payment by the city treasurer, that is warrants on the general fund, or else peddled about the streets like they were some four years ago. The city's credit is good as gold, though, now, and she has a margin of 940,000 between her present indebtedness and what she is permitted to borrow under tne provision of the state law which limits the indebtedness of a city to two per cent, of its assessed valuation of property. The city's indebtedness at present is f.%3,700, of which $311,000 is bonded and 942,700 temporary loans. The valuation for 1803 la 919,700,000, of which two per cent, would be 9394,000, the city's limit for indebtedness. This, as said before, leaves a margin of 940,000 for borrowing purposes, and at any ordinary time there would be no difficulty in obtaining plenty of money to tide the treasury over until taxes begin to come fu. It happened that there was little difficulty in securing the loan made, and It was a fortunate thing, for it would have been bad for the city to refuse to pay her bill*.

The trouble with the oity is, shcThas been spending more money than she has been making, and the man or corporation that does this is likely to be bard up sooner or later. Since the first of January taxes to the amount of $142,901.17 bave been collected, out of which 92817.74 have been set apart to the special funds as provided by law, leaving $114,373.43 in the general fond, to be used for general expenses. To this add $37,262 collected from license— chiefly saloon license, $24,500 borrowed, various miscellaneous collections, and 918,103.07 on hand January 1, and you have the revenue for .the nine months this year, about 9207,000 In round numbers. But during the nine months ending September 30, warrants on the general fund to the amount of 9178,810.80 were redeemed by the city treasurer, leading cash on band in that fund October 1st, 918,000 in round numbers. The quarterly salary payments, the crematory partial estlmal, and various other allowances, drew heavily on this until, on Thursday evening at the close of business, the city's general fund—from which the running expenses must be paid—actually had in It a trifle over 93,000 tuat belonged to it. And against this warrants were alreavly drawn, for tire hose, etc., largely In excess of the amount on hand. And if the finance committee and treasurer hadn't got out and hustled to borrow money, some of these warrants would bave been stamped "Not paid for want of funds."

There are several reasons why the expenses have beeu so heavy this year thus far. The olty's share of the Wabash avenue and Sixth street Improvement was 944,000. Then there was the creaiuatory expenses, that were absolutely forced on the city by the problem of what to do with the garbage. These were unusual expenses, however, and If the money used for these purposes were now on fiand, it would help over the rough places handsomely. The revenues bave been reduced, that Is up to the present time, by making the taxes payable in two installments, the seoowd of which does not become delinquent until November 0th, like the 'state and county. Otherwise all the taxes would have been payable in April, and the difference in the amount that was paid at that time, and what would bave been paid under the one in* *t«U uien plan, would also have enabled the city to pull through until the taxes begin to come in next year. Again, the saloon license waa made payable in two installments, and the city instead of having had the benefit of the full two years' license money, has had the benetU of bat eighteen months' collections. The difference between the eighteen months' and the two years' collection would be in the neighborhood of 91 o,00O, and would come in rather handy just now. All in all, it Is extremely advisable that our city fathers keep very "close to the shore" during the coming months that the city's financial condition shall be tniide no worse than it is.

The tax rale ha* been fixed at fKSP for payable next spring. That IS, has been fixed until the next meeting, when, is possible that It may be change*). There were only nineteen members present at Tuesday's meeting when the rate was eleven Democrat#! and nine Republi. juBe. An ordinance to fix the rate at $1.14 watt defeat

ed, Mr. Ohm voting with the Republicans, The ordinance to fix the rate of 9120 was then adopted, Mr. Ohm again having the courage of. his convictions and voting with the Republicans. When Mr. Urban comes back enough influence may be brought to bear on Mr. Ohm to whip him back into the 9144 class. Under the old tax law, there was a specified time for fixing the tax levy, but under the new one there is none, and it is possible It may be changed. Of this 91.20, 20 cents on each 9100 is to be set apart for street improvements exclusively.

The hgenta of the Mutual Life Insurance Co., of New York, Western Indiana district, held a convention here this week, and last night were given a banquet at the Terre Haute by Wm. A. Hamilton, general agent for the distriot. Those present were R. H. Crouch, H. A. Trltt, J. H. Kerr, S. C. Richardson, L. D. Scott, H. C. Aldridge, J. E. Mercer, F. M. Dunkln, L. E. Aoker, Dr. L. McClain, J. W. Sage, W. Foot, Sol T. Wolfe, the Rev. R. V. Hunter, J. I. Riddle and newspaper representatives. Rev. R. V. Hunter delivered an address of welcome, W. A. Hamilton responded to the toast, "The Life of an Insurance Man—the Field, Its Scope and Future," Dr. Leslie McClain to the toast, "The Medical Examiner's Place In Life Insurance." Prof. Wm. P. Stuart, the company's actnary, who has been here instructing the agents, responded to the toast, "Our Company, the Grand Old Mutual Life," and other responses were made. Altogether the occasion was made a most happyono.

The Indiana Presbyterian meets here next week, and is likely to have an unusually large attendance. Complete arrangements are being made to entertain the visitors, and a reception will be given them at Coatee college, at which the young ladies there will give an exhibition of the physical culture course. Among the important action likely to be taken is that of selecting a superintendent of home missions, who will have full charge of this work, with authority almost unlimited. Evangelists will also be selected to attaint in the home mission work. The Indiana Synod has severed its relations with the National organisation In the home mission work, and theae new appointments are to be made w||t*,n|h©,, view of pushing it vigorously.

The enterprising firm of Hall & Ruckle, of New York, this week made a free house to house distribution in this city of that popular dentifrice "Soxodont," of which ihey are the manufacturers. The people of Terre Haute are familiar with the merits of this standard preparation, and the enterprise displayed in us giving it away will no doubt bring hftiu handsomely. It ought bo, too, for "SKHcodont" is utte of the choicest of the many preparations for the teeth now on. the market and thus* who have used it are it* firmest friends.

The award netted him the handsome sum of six thousand dollars.
