ON TEE QUI VIVE.

The Prosecuting Attorney took a large key and with a great deal of noise locked Xbe stable door. Bat the horses were stolen a week before. During the races, you beard nothing of a law against gaming, but after every youth in town bad been bled and the poker rooms were so silent that gamblers talked of making an assignment, then up jumps the bold prosecutor and says "This must stop!"

He did that once before—along in August the leading sports fell out and the powers that fce ordered gambling to stop. Even the church members were surprised at the streak of piety displayed. The police announced that one reason was that a certain gambler took all biB money out of town. Holy Moses! what fine lines! Gambling, per se, mind you is, all right, but when a successful dealer spends his gains in Peoria, that's an unmitigated evil

The Synod of the Presbyterian ohurch of Indiana met here this week. A fine set of men they were, and they left a better impression than Terre Haute has had of Presbyterianism for along timft. Someway, outsiders have always regarded that church as stern and rigid in its views aristocratic and-cool in ito beamings. It is refreshing to kbow that its ministers are the cordial fellows they acted this week. '/All the churches have governments of spine kind, bjit- few

system that the Presbyterian does, if I am informed right.

And now Terre Haute has commenced to keep step with the rank of convention cities. Far a long time we stammered before asking any one to visit us. And no wonder, we didn't have a suit of olothes ~to our name. The old Union depot

Why, mister, this alnt ole Terry Hut," whined a seedy looking Egyptian, !§as he stepped off the Vaiidalla under the brilliant union statiou dome. "I tole the conductor to let mo oil at ole Terry

Mr. Patay Madigau, a gentleman who has lived in Terre Haute many years, complains of being held up to ridicule by a newspaper here. We are not going to admit that Mr. Madigau has done nothing ridiculous In the past twelve months. It may not be out of place, however, to tell him a secret.

So there is a bright side to Mr. M*di can's woe. Dr. Young, a» councilman, deserves credit for the persistent work he has done in getting a clean city. The eouucil has now seen erected the abattoir and the garbage furnace, the latter being wholly under city control.

When two or three of her are met to'gether, she invariably wants to call if a club, and to begin to be parliamentary. Eve's daughters are not elubable. When a few nice women meet, have a' pleasant time, arrange to come together soon again, and keep on meeting informally every week or so, it's delight" ful. But the very minute that tne woman en ten who has once .befohged to a club, the leaven of unhappiness comes a president is elected," rules are made, the women squabble^ and they yearn for descriptions of their meeting to be writ ten up in. the newspapers. I-once had for tWo months the doubtful felicity of beldnglng to a club, and during thst time I heard moj^e bad English, saw more envy, jbatred, malice find all un? cliaritabl,e|iess, and came nearer to ldsing my o\yn self-reapcct than ever befor*»J because I belonged to the sex that alt tbatqlub did,

aFshe may soon be old enough to join mamma's club. Then everybody applauds, and one tender-hearted Woman jumps up and says: "I know that was a good speeoh because it made me cry."

WOMEN BORES ANfi FliATTEBBRS.

The last club meeting that I atteoded made suoh an impression upon me that 'I oouldn't sleep all night, and my family objeotlng to my meandering around in along white robe and frightening the dofrs, think that I had better not aooe^f any more lnTitatlont. The speaker, who looked as if she were lnJ training^.for a: prise fight, bat who at tliat tliM f* only wrestling with the Qae»A%.E$* glish, announced thtit she wasn't gofjjU to make a set speeohi but just gives talk, which talk shs proinptly proceeded to read from a bundle of uanueeript. It was an ignorant, vulgar piece of flat-l tery it simply praised everybody a0d everything, and summed up the sittm* tlon by oonolading that everybody who didn't yearn to wear the speolai oaoge of that olnb and who wasn't proud Of belonging to It had better—well, I don't know exaotly what they had better do, but anyhow get off into innocuous desuetude.

There i^'no comparative degree in a woman's olnb. Everything is superlative. A young woman, who wore a pink felt hat, on which black feathers bobbed, and whose hair had the stamp that marks the caste of peroxide of hydrogen, was presented to me as "Miss Lulu Smithers, the greatest drsmatlo actress living." I confess to being frightened, and I know Miss Lulu Smithers set mh down as being an idiot. I had met the divine Sarah I had met the exquisitjj) Jane Hading I had delighted in Elled Terry, joyed with Mrs. Kendal, stare| at Duse, had lived twenty-nine years, had gone to the theatre ever since I was two years old, and bad never heard of Miss Smithers, the greatest dramatife actress. Immediately after that, Mrs[ Angelina Bas*Blou came up, and was announced as "the writer of to-day." She was tall, she spoke of herself as slender. But I find bony women often call themselves that.

With a glance, that 4ught to have killed me, bat didn't, she answered, and if it had been through the-u 'phone" they would have heard her in Washington, "I have never yet published.

"But," said the Colonel, "how would you like it if, when the resting hours came, you were surrounded by women who talked about the beauty of work who discussed nothing but shop, add who counted everything, but their ambitions, small?"

Into the World to -day and earn the bread inii butter for the household, but thaw all not the women who are giving their opinions In clubs these women are too busy for that. When the work-day time is over, their rests and their enjoyment is in the home.' Tell me, now, after a busy day, what would you rather do?"

I felt as if I ware being interviewed, and yet I can't imagine anybody tolling

"I shouldn't like it at all I should be horribly bored. The beauty of work oonsists not in talking about it, but in doing it to the best of one's ability but, Colonel, those women- think I am frivolous! The other day out in the park while I was giving the dogs a romp, I meta olub woman, and she told, me I was wasting my time. I didn't think so. I had had a good walk I had gained an appetite for my dinner, and the dogs were looking at me with eyes full of delight and gratitude, because they had had such a good lime. Iu addition to the pups, I had two small boys with me they weren't mine I wish they were and they had showed me more odd nooks, and told me more about the foliage out there than I had ever dreamed of. After we had dined th^t night, we had all had so muoh fresh air and such a good tramp, that the Hush'-a-by Lady from Lullaby street only had time to say 'good night' to us before our eyes were olosed. The next morning the boys were eager to go to their lessons the dogs were willing to sit still, and, in their own way, discuss the afternoon before, and I felt that life was worth living and tfork worth doing. Ahd yet the club woman thought that if I bad been writing an -article on 'The Woman of the Future: What Will Be Her Alms and Their Kesults,' it would have been enough site better than fooling away my time. That is what she called !|., Giving pleasure to three puppies and two boys, drinking in no end

The Colonel said: "My dear, you put it a little strongly, but I think you are right. The country is getting to be Woman-ridden, and I am a bit tired of it." "Tired of it," I exclaimed "you oan't be half as tired of It as I am, but then I am tired of so many things."

WHAT BAB IS TIRED OF.

I am tired of the coming woman whp never gets there. I am tired of the men who don't take care of women.

I am tired of selfishness, envy, and the worship of the dollar. I am tired of women who refuse to make the oountry greater by bearing children. am tired of hearing Providence blamed for our own stupid blunders.

Ian tired of the woman speaker, the Olnb woman, and the woman whose mission is apparently to promulgate.bad makiners.

I am tired of rude children with diamond rings on their fingers and rnde words on their tongues.

I am tired of politicians' promises that are never kept. I am tired of the belief that says the kitchen amounts to nothing and the club room to a great deal.

I am tired of the type of woman who prides herself on not knowing what she eats, and who looks it on not knowing what she wears, and who is in consequence a- scarecrow on not knowing what she calls the smallnesses of life.

Now these smallnesses include agreeable men, amiable babies, affectionate dogs, singing canaries, boxes of sweetmeats, good novels, and. most important of all, good temper. S «e can have all the big things of life if I only may have the little ones she hasn't the remotest idea how absolutely tiresome she is, but I am sure if a vote were taken all of the men and half of the women would agree in the opinio^ of her expressed by

AMUSEMENTS.n'V-

The production of this extremely tuneful operetta, by local talent, at Naylor's Thursday night, was in line witb: previous sucoesses by our own home£,j artists. The opera is replete with catchy^ airs, the costuming is brilliant and,^J?: striking, and the general effeot is&u highly pleasing. The cast has been||f printed, and where all were so capable-^ in their respective parts it is unnecessary to particularize, exoept, perhaps, to say^rj^ that the juvenile premiers, AnnaSchluerj and Rose Braman, were dancers show-^ ing ability fkr beyond their years. The£^ solos and choruses were artistically rendered, and the stage ensembles hignlyi^ pioturesque. It was a splendid per-,^ formanoe Thursday night, and will be^^pf more pleasing to-night, when it will be*^£|'^ repeated. The performances are for tbe '—'®1 benefit of the local Ki P. lodges, and the^° patronage Bhould be large. Prof. W. A Baker, of Chicago, the direotor, has shown remarkable aptitude in the work?

of preparing those participating. "LITTLE PUOK." "Little Puck," the Little Puok of old, but dressed by the best theatrical tailors in garments of 1893, wili afford the lovers'! of farce comedy three hours of hearty1 laughter at Nay lor's on Monday even-' Ing. Frank Daniels has a well established reputation as a comedian, and the inimitable faroe comedy, "Little Puok," is always greatly enjoyed every tinje it makes a visit to our oity. It is a piece which, while being remarkably funny itself, indeed, through the oomio work of Daniels and the rest of the company, produoing almost unlimited laughter, at the same time admits of the introduction of any quantity of auxiliary mirth and music, especially the latter, and the oomedian is always careful to provide new and enjoyable treats in both of these essentials. He has not only fulfilled the demands in this matter this season, but gone to the expense and trouble of having elaborate scenery painted for every part of the faroe that could be heightened in a pictorial sense, thus giving it a perfeot right to the title of "The Speotacular Little Puok." In consequence it is muoh better than ever before. Those desiring good seats should Beoure them in advanoe at Button's.

THE DIGBY BELL OPERA 00.

afor" to "Venus," there have 'been bh't very few more tuneful or more humforous than "Tar and Tartar," which "will be sung by the Digby Bell Cbmlo Opera company On next Wednesday eve., Oct. 18, at Naylor's opera house. It is equally true there are few better comedians than Digby Bell. The oompany Is oopx*' pletely organized and inoludes Laura Joyoe Bell, William Pruette, Josephine Knapp, Maud and Hilda Hollins, H. M» Ravenscroft, Charles F. Jones, NCharles Myer, E. Forrest Jones and other wellknown people. To oompare Mr Bell's organization with the company that sang "Tkr and Tartar" here last season, would be ridioulous, He has bought the exclusive right to both the "Tar and Tartar" and "Jupiter," and his oompany will oertalnly do justice to both of these popular operaa. The opera wili be staged in an sxoellent manner, with bright, new costumes and soenery, and the ep» gagement should be the means of attracting an immense andienoe Wedneeday night. The seat sale takes place Monday morning at Button's. Prioes, 25,60, 76 and $1.

Mr. Hayman takes extreme pleasure in snnounoing that he has secured this company for two performances on next Saturday, Oct. 21, matinee and evening, and that the saccess of last season will be repeated again this time. This company, which is now the largest minstrel organization in the world, .s travel in their own special cars and they carry their own scenery, stage settings, calcimine and electrical effects. A special feature of the engagement will be the matinee on Saturday. There are any number of ladies and children that cannot attend the night performance and the matinee will be especially desirable to them. All children will be ad-
