TERRE HAUTE. IND., OCT. 21, 1893.

"OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH." a That very interesting story, "Waring's Peril," is concluded this week, and on November 4th we will begin th6 publication of another very entertaining serial, "Out of the Jaws of Death," by Frank Barrett, author of "The Great Hesper," "A Recoiling Vengeance," "Woman With the Iron Bracelets," etc. It is a powerfully drawn picture of Russian despotism, Nihilist plottings, and an escape from Siberia, with a strong and tender love story interwoven. It is a thrilling story, told in a graphic manner, and cannot fail to interest those who like a good romance

THE Anti-Trust Association has petitioned the president to use his efforts to suppress trusts. That official is actively engaged just now trying to suppress the wind trust in the senate chamber, and if he has no greater success with others than he has thus far had with that, his recoid as a trust suppressor will not be worth mentioning.

MR. VAN ALEN has been confirmed by the senate, and will now have a chance to sho.w the Italians the kind of citizens our high pressure civilization produces. This appointment is positively the worst that wjs ever made by any administration, and Patriok Egan, who was condemned by all Democratic papers and by some Republican as well, alongside Van Alen, is a gem of the pnrest ray serene. It will be a long time before Mr. Cleveland hears the last of this ap pgintraent. iBIM.

ANOTHER notable character has dis appeared from view, in the death of Field Marshal! MaoMabon, of France, whose death occured on Tuesday. He it was who conducted the disastrous battle of Sedan for the French, and although it added nothing to his glory as a general, it can be said of him that he was thoroughly loyal to his country and its government. At one time president of the French republic, the incessant bickerings which at that time marked its government, led to his resignation, and of late years he has been in retirement,, engaged in writing his memoirs. He was eighty six years old.

MAYOR DENNY, of Indianapolis, is redeeming his anti-eleotion promises bravely, and is makhig war on the gamblers and other violators of the laws. He could not well do otherwise, though, for it was on such promises that the Republicans won thotr victory. They find theoity practically bankrupt, as a result of the inoompetenoy and extravagance of the previous administration, and will devote their time, for the present, at least, to a study of how munloipal government can best be economically administered. It is a subjeot of fruitful study, but it is well to give it some thought before stern necessity forces it to the attention of public officials. This is true, too of other cities besides In-

dianapoiis.

THE' talk about jury bribing in the case of "Samuel of Posen" Curtis, at San Francisco, does not excite as much oommotion as one would naturally expect, aud leads to the conclusion that jury bribing is not such a novelty in the "glorious climate of paiiforny." It has not been so many years ago that the innocent publication in one of the dally papers here, during a celebrated murder trial, of a mere rumor that the jury had been looked up to prevent its being tampered with, led to a scene of the greatest excitement in the court room. The judge was indignant at what he termed the "outrage," the defendant's attorneys were furious, and the luckless newspaper man narrowly escaped a sojourn in jail. But to have the charge openly made that the jury was bribed, followed by an effort by the bribers to secure pay for their services, and no show of indignation on the part of the court or its officers, from this point of view looks as if there might be something wrong.

IT cost the city of Indianapolis forty cents for each vote cast in the reoent city election—that is the-election expenses averaged that per vote, a total of $12,000. It costs the city of Term Haute an average of about forty cents for each vote, in* a municipal election, and the question Is arising as U» whether or not the secret ballot law as applied to cities is not too expensive. It Is true that under the law passed last winter by which city elections are held once every two years. Instead of annually, this expense will be somewhat reduced, but it is tooexpeusive *»y way. is all well enough to say that the parity of the ballot box should be protected, though ft-/- it cost millions. This absolutely true, Itf/5 but It la tolly to spend millions to protect it, when It ©an be done for thous-

I* ands. Titers ar« many ways in which our present law can be amended* th« 1^" MCWJ of the ballot preserved, oppor-

trinities given for a freer expression of opinion, and the expenses reduced by lopping off officers who are ornaments. Illinois has a much better law than: Indiana, and a voter doesn't have to be a graduate of a technological institute, or hold a diploma from a state university in order to vote a mixed ticket intelligently, and feel safe that it will be counted. But our state law will* never be amended to increase the possibilities of intelligent mixed-ticket voting. That was one of the things it was.intended to prevent, "Mk

THE rewards lor successful dramatic work, make this a field richer for the literary man or woman than any now open to them. It is said that Bronson Howard, who began life as an impecunious journalist, has an income from his plays that cannot be below $20,000 a year. The late Henry C. De Mille, co-author with David Belasco, of several metropolitan successes, died worth $50,000. Mr. Belasco's royalties during the run of "The Girl I Left Behind Me," amounted to $1,000 a week. Augustus Thomas made a little fortune out of "Alabama" and is likely to make another out of "In Missouri," which Nat Goodwin is producing. With the prizes that are in store for the dramatist who can create original and striking plays, it is surprising that we do not have more successful American productions. As a recent writer has Baid the public is ready for them, the press is eager, the actors are at hand, and only the writers are wanting.

BELLAMY'S Utopian scheme as outlined in "Looking Backward" is having a practical application in Lewislon, New York. In May last a bill passed the New-VYork legislature creating the Model Town company, a corporation granted unique powers thereby. This town site includes twenty-five square miles in the garden spot of Niagara County, nearly all the land already, being under options held by the president of the town, the originator of the plan of model town construction. Amon

the unique powers granted the towi governors is one to build, equip an|nal. but Artz got off easy, as it was'his operate a pneumatic-power plant for tiyr8fc offense.

Of courser like all such enterprises when new everything is moving along swimmingly, but it will not be long before we hear of dissensions among the promoters of it and its affairs will wind up in the courts. In this day and generation, people are too busily engaged in looking after number one, to delegate the conduct of tbeir affairs altogether to others. It's beautiful in theory, but it doesn't pay to practioe

GOVERNOR ALTOELD is having his stump speech that he delivered tn the shape of a letter, in pardoning the anarohlBts, spread broadcast, as a campaign document against Judge Gary, who is a candidate for re-election next month. There is scarcely a newspaper in Chicago but that is advocating the cause of Judge Gary, who before this has, term after term, been nominated by the Democrats and endorsed by the Republicans, and vice versa. Just now, however, the Judge has incurred the displeasure of the "peanut" exeoutlve of the Sucker state, who is turning heaven and earth to seoure Gary's defeat. If there are as many wise and patrlotio people in Cook County as we have heretofore believed, Altgeld will reoeive such a slap in the face, November 7th, as to make'him see myriads of stars, and Judge Gary will reoeive a larger majority than when he last was a candidate, just after the anarbhists' trial, when his opponent was Black, the anarchists' lawyer, who reoeived less than one-ninth the votes cast for Gary. If the anarchists lacked the votes then to select their lawyer over the judge who tried those cases, surely the addition to their ranks of suoh an ass as Altgeld—even though he be governor—cannot give them much additional strength. It is to be hoped not, any way.

NKVEH before were there so many auxiliary organisations to the ohurches, to assist in the war against the-world, the flesh and the devil. Nearly every denomination has its social oircles, debating clubs, mission bands, Endeavor societies, etc., and every year sees these increase. And now a few ministers are raising the question that these numerous societies, instead of concentrating the worthy efforts, are creating too many sideshows, without strengthening the various church organizations. They take up most of the time of church members, the young especially, without having any perceptible spiritual effect. This cry is raised most likely by some old fogies, who cannot see that the ultimate result of the interest taken by the young people will be the promotion of the cause in which they are enlisted. It Is with ministers as with every other class, there are always those who think the young shonld sit down and fold

their hands, until age and gray hairs only.

Algernon Sartoris, Mrs. U. S. Grant's grandson, who is now in Washington with his mother, said recently that it was-his plan to be graduated at Oxford and then to study law, after which he intends to come to America to live. He is a tall young man, and is said to bear the Grant features more markedly than either of the general's sons. Mrs. Sartoris, in a year, is to return to this country to make her home here.

Deafness Cannot be Cored

by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that Is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken ont and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which la nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.

We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh Care. Send for circulars free.

AFTER biting off their nose all summer in the effort to spite their face, the railroad managera have finally pome to their senses, and are making cheap rates to the World's Fair. As a result they are landing daily in Chicago thousands of visitors who would otherwise have remained away. The directors of the Columbian Exposition have maintained all the time that had the railroads offered cheaper rates the crowds of the earlier months would have been much larger. But the railroads insisted that they were making rates as low as they could afford to, though why couldn't they reduce them then, and can now, is something a layman can'texactly understand. If such rates as are now being given had been offered in June, and July, August and September, the greatest show the people of the earth have witnessed, or doubtless ever will witness, would have had 40,000,000 visitors instead of the 2^,000,"000 it is likely to attract. The difference can be charged directly to the railroads and not to the hard times.

WINNEBAGO county, Illinois, in which" Rockford is located, claims the honor of being the first county in the United States to provide a flag for every sohool house, the raising of the last one recently being made the occasion of a popular demonstration. Many sohool houses throughout the country are thus decorated with the national colors, and Terre Haute is proud to claim some of them, but this method of teaching patriotism should go even further. Every dwelling house in this free land should have a flagstaff from its highest peak, and every hour the sun shines his taoe flaunting,of aersonville. Dix i¥a n^.^t w«ri^

THE Russian fleet is proving to the people of France what strong love the Czar has for the French republic, while the British warships are demonstrating the great affeotion of John Bull for Italy, and all the while the special correspondents on the continent are coining money, telling the people of the straine# relations between the great powei$, and the strong probabilities of a general war. After the warships finish their fall dress parade, the correspondents will be compelled to look for something else to lie about. Year in and year out they have been propbecying war, until it would really be a relief to have a conflict to relieve the monotony. It costs millions of dollars every year, taken from the pockets of the European subjects to maintain the preparations for warfare, but with the improvements in the appliances and munitions of war, that very thing they all prepared for is not likely to ocour. War, with the present perfected instruments, monster field and siege guns, magazine rifles, smokeless powder, eto., would be so deadly that conjecture can hardly picture its results. "In times of peace prepare for war" is an old saying, ind it la so faithfully observed on the continent that the condition it is intended as A preparation for, is not likely to exist, unless some provocation far out of tne ordinary should ocour.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

No senator lias had the temerity to make use of the phrase "words fail me." President Garfield's farm, in Mentor, O., is to-be cut up into building lots, the intention being to make it the nucleus of a town to be called Garfield, and to be the summer home of wealthy citizens of Cleveland.

Charles G. Yelm, a traveling man of Lafayette, while in Davenport, Iowa, rer cently, received an 1804 dollar from a hotel clerk. He has just sold it te the cashier of a Chicago bank for $855. The coin is one of only four issued and has long been unaccounted for. "Fighting Bob" Evans has been promoted to be captain in the navy, fie has earned the ''step" by deeds which have conferred honor on the country as well as by long service, and is still a young man. He was an ensign only about sixteen years old when, in leading the assault on Fort Fisher, he received wounds which were so severe that for a time, his life was despaired of. His latest noteworthy services were at Val paraiso when the Chilians were balancing chips, and with the patrol fleet In Bering sea.

Congressman Allen, the wag of the House, got the nickname "Private" John Allen when'running against Gen. Tucker, in Mississippi. One day Tuoker whooped up his war record, and started out by saying "I slept one night before the battle in a tent." This was enough for Allen. When he got up to speak he said: "Yes, boys, General Tucker did sleep In a tent that night, and I stood guard on picket around that tent. Now, all you here to day who slept in tents vote for Tucker, but those who stood guard in. the rain and oold vote for John Allen." From that moment to this he has been called 'Private' John Allen. Of course he was eteoted.

A Justice of the Peace in Sandersville, Ga., being called upon to perform a marriage ceremony, is accused of concluding with: "By the authority vested in me as an officer of. the State of Georgia, which is sometimes called the Empire State of the South by the fields of cotton "that lie spread out In snowy whiteness around us by the howl of the coon dog and the gourdvlne, whose clinging tendrils will shade the entrance to your humble dwelling place by the red and luscious heart of the watermelon, whose sweetness fills the heart with joy by the" heavens and earth, in the presence of these witnesses, I pronounce you man and wife."

The late Senator Sanford was raised, to the bar by a feat of woodchopping. When he was eighteen years of age, his father purchased a tract of woodland, wishod to clear it, but had not the means to do so. At the sametime he was anxious to give his son a lift. He told Leland, therefore, that he oouldhave alll\e could make from the timber^ if he would leave the land clear of trees. Leland took the offer, for a new market bad latterly been created for cordwood. He had paved money enough to hire other choppers to help him, and he chopped for the law and for his future career. Over two thousand cords of wood were cut and sold to the Mohawk and Hudson river railroad, and the net profit to the young contractor was $2,600. It had been earned by severe toil, in cold and heat, and It stood for something more than dollars.

THE WOMAN WITS A "PICK." We are all familiar with the woman who has a "plok"at every person and thing she comes in contact with. She makes herself particularly objectionable, as she is possessed of a disposition that makes it almost impossible for even the most amiable to get along with her.' She is the woman who carries*a chip on her shoulder continually, and is raihef annoyed than otherwise if no one sees fit to knock it off and engage in full-fledged combat in consequence.

She always has a grievance of some sort on hand, whether it be a family feud or wordy war with the grocer. Peace to her is unknown, and to go through a day without a clashing of words would mean to her twenty-four hours wasted. Of course such an indi* vidua! is not pleasant to have around, and though she herself may feel happy in the knowledge that she is coming off victorious in a war. of words, the continued strife in which she delights does not tend to make her sweet aud desirable to those about her.

Quarreling is a mania with such an individual, and though others may be peaceably disposed she wili nag and nag until the fire commences to burn and she finds herself in her element. Such women never have any friends. They are always on the onts with their relatives, their servants and their most casual acquaintances. They may be pretty and attractive at first sight, But once the cloven hoof is shown people learn to avoid them, for though hot water is an excellent thing once in a while when used properly, it is hot the pleasontest place in the world in which to take up one's continual abode.

The long distance telephone company that was recently granted right of way through the city will finish its line as far west as this city this fall, making this its terminal point until spring. The Central'exchange will be used as its station.
