ON THE QUI VIVE.
A United States senator and an excabinet minister talked, a Rabbi prayed and a Methodist parson pleaded from the opera house stage last Sunday night, all for sweet charity's sake. Never has Terre Haate been so stirred before never daring Thanksgiving week have so many needy ones been fed and clothed and warmed. And the great meeting at the theatre was the most successful of its kind. S. B. Davis is the right man for the leader in such a movement. Stern-faced towards frauds but mellow hearted.to real objects of pity, he bia* been a tower of strength to Terre Haute's organized charity.
Twenty-one citizens, popular and honest representatives, are concentrating the liberal forces so that no gift shall be wasted, no dollar duplicated. A peculiar condition confronts them: sturdy men who have always earned their bread are idle
and
helpless brave women who
supported homes by needle or by arms are given no work to do. Too proud to beg, they suffer, and while we enjoy our routine work and sit at well filled tables, they shiver and starve in our town. The Society for Organizing Charity was overwhelmed and their workers besieged. But tne true Terre Haute spirit came up and now shops and stores are vieing with each other in contributions for these unfortunates.
Unloose your purse ptrings! What use is money to you, when there lives in our town those (mark you!) just as good as you, who through no fault of their own are lacking coal and bread?
Making an assignment has been supposed to be a tradesman's birthright but the record i« broken in Terre Haute. The saloon keepers have taken up the fwd, and now a fellow doesn't know when he buys his next cork-tail whether an assignee will have to get an order of the court to sell or not. The wholesalers made too many runs on Geo. Shatter's Rank and he closed its doors then Wes King saw how smiling Shaffer was and Wes turned Mr. Oambrlnus' photograph to the wall and turned over his keys to the omnipresent assignee.
People are surprised at these saloon failures they needn't be' they will see more of them. For real hard times come almost as heavy on saloonists as on tradesmen. There's big prodt in beer and bigger gains In whiskey yet a whiskey bill is like a grocer's the goods are too well delivered. And In addition to all these, hard times have enforced an abstinence that Frances Murphy or old John B. Gough couldn't approsch.
"Pot-luck" Is what Geo. R. Grimes calls the misfortunes that beset the new brick streets of Voorhees Co. If the contractors get a penny for every handling of a brick, they are hiding their money. It is not In circulation. Three or four times has Fourth street been laid and still it must be relaid. Envious contractors stand around and say that the foundation Is poor, or the grouting is bad, or the bricks are badly laid. Some wag said that Voorhees stood in with the charily society and intended to give the unemployed an all winter's job even if they had to rip up Wabash avenue and soutli Sixth street, brick by brick. But all the same those new ntreets look all right, aud it is suggested that the contractors are gettiug the worst of it because they are home people—which, if true, is wrong.
Did you ever ride down south Sixth street over the Klnserpave? The stuffing seems to haye/alien out of the street and those cemented bricks are like an arch over a tunnel, from the sound. Down by Secretary "Dick" Thompson's house your buggy will sour.d like an omnibus rolling ov*r M'eVandalia train sheds. It speaks well for Kinser's brick, but it make* a passenger feel queer,
Grace Collins didn't marry young Beck with, if you please. Contrary to all would-be husband's notions, Beckwlth commenced quarreling with his intended before they got to Otter Creek junction. He ought to have been considerate enough to have played the agreeable until the knot was tied and the honeymoon ended.
Nobody criticises the girl. Her actions were impulsive, nothing more. Ten thousand mothers who And fault with Miss Collins would better, by far, look to the training they give their daughters. The only crime that Beck with was charged with was his poverty. Too •many modern parents prefer to sell a girl to the highest bidder, and If a love match occur* with a poor youth, the proud mammas are heart broken. And the ordinary plain men stand no chance with the average mamma. He can be plain If he be*rich but plain and working for a living—never! So, the fellows with knob canes, patent leathers and a «hrys#utbemnm like a yyring* bush, all on a week, step In and are equal aspirants with Mr. Wealthy, white the plain worker takes what is left. ••.
Beach's bank failure caused Peter Miller to send a bullet into bis skull ibis wk, Mr. Miller has been a man
of integrity, and of value to the city, and his sad act caused a tremendous sensation. Losing f900 in the broken bank, his mind has been affected, and rather than be taken away for treatment, he fired the shot.
On the same day John S. Beach walked into the circulfcourt room and pleaded "not guilty" to eleven indictments. With nine skilled lawyers at his back, he is not an object for sympathy but to Q. V.'s mind, as the little old man walked out of the criminal court, It was inexpressibly sad. A ruined, ruined man! All his past life, his grandeur, his elegance, his good name, bis habitual reserve that always surrounds a scheming financier and gives hi in power, were gone and now a hundred dozen of those who helped to build him great are crying to tear him down.
President Haughey, the chief of the bank defaulters at Indianapolis, a man who stood so high that be carried one silver handle of the casket to the grave of ex President Harrison's wife only a year ago, expects to be sent for fiyeyears to prison before the holidays. Is it pos sible that Mr. Beach has such a thought? No, Q. V. can't believe it. Beach will be acquitted. Wait and see.

AMUSEMENTS.
THE OPERATIC EVENT.
A genuinely good thing is to be'offered theater goers at Naylor's Opera house next Tuesday evening, when Barnabee, Kari and Mac Donald's "Robin Hood" opera company will appear for one performance. The organization is such as only Barnabee, Karl and MacDonald have the artistic energy to send on the road. In this day of cheap companies it is gratifying to note that the most successful opera comique managers in America have the courage of their convictions and organize for the road a company comprising*sixty high class artists, a complete double cast of principals, a chorus of thirty-five fine voices aud a special operatic orchestra, and furnish it with elaborate special scenery and costuming, "lhis is what Barnabee, Karl and MacDonald have done for the "Robin Hood" company, and they are being rewarded by overflowing houses everywhere. Mr. Sosftfi has' carefiJny preserved the romantic flavor attaching to the amiable robbers of Sherwood Forest, and has coherently put together so many of the lively incidents connected with them that the book stands a self established classic. Mr. DeKoven's music contains more of genuine melody, more of harmonious orchestration and more of humorous whimsicality than have been expressed in a composer's* score since comic opera writing was first undertaken in America. Among the principals—each having been chosen with special reference to the characters to be impersonated are Jerome Sykes, Henry W. Dodd and James Nickolds, oomedians Edward Wentwortb, Ross Davis and.Charles Landie, tenors Ed win Isham and Frank Bills, baritones Ricardo Ricci and Louis Casarant, bassos Fatimah Dlard, Agnes Delaporte and Ethel Batch, sopranos Mary Palmer, Grace Reals and Agnes Stone, contraltos. The orohestra is under the direction of Prof. J. A. Robertson. The advance sale of seats began this morning at Button's with indications of being one of the largest of ^he season. Notwithstanding the big expense attached to the bringing of this big organ iasation here the prices of admission have been placed within reach of all viz.: fl.00 7ft, 60 and 25 cents.
A BREEZY T1MB.

Breesy Time" is de
lightfully entertaining and causes many a hearty laugh. Of the company the principals are E. B. Fits, the comedian, and Kathryn Webster, an exceedingly popular and charming soubrette. There is plenty of catchy music, fnnny comedy, songs, graceful dancers and pretty girls, all of which contribute to make the performance a most Interesting one. The seat sale opens Tuesday morning. Usual prices prevail.

Of the many farce comedies now on the road none have proven more successful or deservedly popular than "The Dsxxler" which Is underlined at Naylor's for Saturday evening, Dec. SHh.

KINDNESS THROWN AWAY O'N ft DESCENDANT OF KINGS.
An "Ej etaltan" Irishman Who Had Wo Use For Women—An Unpleasant Bxperlence That Causes One Woman to Wonder
If It Pays to be Kind to Tramps. [Copyright, 1883.] NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—We .too^ him
because be asked us to. This may soun^ queer, but it is true. He not only asked us by word of mouth, but' his eyes looked so yearning and his clothes .9$, tattered, and he himself so general!^ wretched that he seemed to represent In himself starving humanity. So we tbOk him in and did for him*. Later on, he-^ but that is the end of the story. The first doing merely consisted in giving him his breakfast, and the cook, who, banged around the pans because of berindignation,8aid, very audibly, "Thanks be to God, after the namby-pamby appe$ tites that they've got here, there if somebody in the world who can eat.". But that was natural, because he was, hungry. V'-SW
After the hunger bad beep satisfied, I interviewed him. Notwithstanding the rags and tatters, notwithstanding the', wretched long hair and dirty face, I wa^ made to feel that I was in the presence of my master Man. He gave a look atj my shoes, and sniffed. Quite honestly# I don't think women ever do vamisff patent leather well. Then he said that he could make a fire glow with delight^ that it would burn all the coal and so we' would save on ashes, and that he was ready ^nd willing to be handy. An every time he spoke of his accomplish ments he looked at my shoes. Natunj in making me a woman made me a bas coward, morally and vphysicallyk^,
HIS ILLUSTRIOUS NAME.
I asked him his name, and thid Is wha
be told me: "Me name, ma'am? It it. Michael Angel-oh—me mother was
and me father, glory be to God they' haven't lived to see their son in his! present position, was Eyetalian hence^ me name. Me mother said, when I wai little, that I was called Angel-ob becausd I was so beautiful I looked like thai angels!" I didn't like to tell him -had-eb»ngedi but-1 remembered handsome babies often made men who were quite—well, not quite nice to look at. Then he continued: "But when-
ever she said this, peace be to her a3hes^
me father contradicted her and said me name came from a great painter and she would always throw something at him and tell him none of her young ones would ever be named after a painter—a mean trade where they had to work all day." Just here I waved Angel-oh to stop, and retreated to re port to the family. The masculine ele, inent went out and looked at him, cataie baok and said, "Oh, I suppose you are like all women you like to have something in the shape of a man hanging around who will toady to you, and try and make you think you know some** thing." Angel-oh never did this, how ever. During the time be abided wittat us, he never ceased convincing me of my littleness.
The feminine part of the establish^' ment objected to a smell about himjr later on, I discovered tbat that Mnell, which was rather suggestive of a morgue, came from some medicine he used to rub on one leg in which the rheumatism was supposed to exist. I never knew a handier rheumatism. It always appeared when it was a question of Angel-oh going on along errand at such times he made no excuse, but simply wailed out, "Oh, me leg," stiff{ ened out the afflicted member and was supposed to be in too much pain to
AS A MEMBER OF BAB'S HOUSEHOLD. The first week of bis residence my shoes" were varnished in such a degree that it is a mystery to this day that
TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING. DECEMBER 2*1893.- Twenty-fourth Year
and when I ventured in fear and trem bllng to
Bay
that Alexander had always
made it in time, Angel-oh met me with a cold stare, and said: "And who is this Alexander that you compare with me? As far as I can understand, he was nothin' more nor less than a common American, while in me runs the nobility of two nations, the Kings of Ireland and the Princes of Italy. As for your fire, pull the blanket up over yourself, and when your oofiee cornea, it'llvwarm you. Me paper I've got to read. Would you wish me to be ignorant of the politics of the country that I may one day control? Would you wish me to know nothin' about the black woman, dirty uagur, that Cleveland is puttin' back on a throne instoad of givln' the said throne to
a
dacent Irishman? Would
you have me know nothin' about McKinley? And him likely to be the next one to say, 'Michael Angel-oh, step up and rnn the army?' Sbure,.women is mean, low creatures, more givin' to thinkin' about the luxuries that men work to give them than the questions of importance." After that I said nothing more about the fire, and tried to deceive the family into belleying that I didn't care for one.
THE TRAMP'S RELIGIOUS CONVICTIONS. Angel-oh was very stern fts far as religion was concerned. I don't think I ever met anybody who was quite as willing to let other people do the fasting and praying as he was. Let the cook just get a delicious mouthful of meat on her fork, and Angel-oh would remind her that it vras Saint Somebody's day, and that she would burn forever unless she limited her dinner to tea and toast. And then he would eat her share ahd his own, too. She was the most pugiiistib cook we ever had, but phe was as meek as a lamb before Angel-oh, and fetched and carried for him and ^permitted him to stew the vile herbs that he used to cure the rheumatism on the kitqhen stove, when she wouldn't

have saved my soul The truth, especially If it were an unpleasant one, was of great importance to itur Irish-Italian protege. Be had been told when some tiresome man called that be was to say I was put, and the message wjfts given after this fashion:

the truth
sAt
wasn't arrested for assault and battery for I delighted in them so I used me own eyes that It wasn't worth while listening to the complaints of a woman, and to send us a good leg of mutton for me own sake. Then, sir, the
walk down street looking at them, and, not seeing the coming woman, bumped* into her. Ob, by-the by, the reason we called him Angel-oh was because one of the dogs was named Mike, and then, too, it sounded more aristocratic. The masculine element said that was all the good we ever got out of him that it pleased us to be able to say, "You didn't get my message before 9 o'clock? Why I sent it to you by Angel-oh at half-past six, and he is a servant that never makes a mistake." On the third day, I went out with the determination to bay Angel-oh a suit of clothes, and I got what I considered a very respectable^ warm outfit. Fancy then my horror at hearing him tell the cook: "If there's one thing I'm after despisin', it's clothe# what's picked out by a woman the^ haven't got the air nor the style about 'em a* when they'schoosen by youraelff Women Is very good in their places, b^| I'm one of those who thinks that their places is not a gal a van tin around chooain' men's clothed."
I suppose it wms weak in me but I cried. However, I didn't tell anybody
be given two -weeks' time about it at the time, because I seemed to which to sign the waiver, and thu# be Angel-oh'# only friend* At the enjJ ».-cure the privilege of paying the oast of a week,it was Impossible to have th# the work in ten annual installment' fire in my room made before breakfast
sir. I don't think
there is much use of your ever comin' again when I took in your card, says she,'That bothersome fool!' And says I,
least he is the better of you, he's a man,' which, si), you might think was a liberty for me to say that, but I concluded it by your name, and sir, there is many a fine woman who would be glad tp see you and,take my advice, and don't fiddle away the precious moments a' runnin' after a skinny thing like her." It is quite unnecessary to say that the man never came again, and that I am told be dislikes me.
Still this wasn't the worst of Angeloh's truth-telling. There are always little things in a household that it is wiser to keep from a man there is no necessity to entertain him with the little irritctions, the little worries, and the troubles that are purely feminine. It dawned on me oneday tbat the mas culine element seemed to know a great deal about the household affairs. Then I noticed that Angel-oh managed to slip into his room presumably to fix the fire just before dinner. One night I paid a visit near the door at the same time— U»ti. to »y, I meanly lU^j^Thl. was the dialogue: §g|
Masculine Element: "Ah, Angoio, fixing up the fire, eh? How has the bouse been to-day?"
Angel-oh: "Well, sir, there have been the usual troubles the Missis and the butcher had a set-to, and if yon have got any thin'for your dinner to-night, you may thank me for it, because I talked to the butcher and made him see
Missis had three letters there was two ladies to luncheon, and though the cook said it was "claret they had to drink, I have my donbts. And later in the day. two men came. Missis and the ladies went out with them, and God in His goodness only knows where tbey went, for I didn't like to follow them."
When I heard this, I must confess I felt as if I WOULD LIKE TO BOX A NOEL-OH'« KABS.
As for the masculine element, I determined to make it uneasy for listening to him. So when at the dinner table it raid, "Any company to-day, dear?" I looked at it in -a way that only a woman can look when she wants to lie, and said, "None at all." It kept quiet After that, bat when the fish came In, with the same air of studied unconcern, it inquired, "Did you gets letter from the Sooth?" And I smiled back, and answered, "No, the poetman quite neglected us." Then It looked at mesternly, aud said, "No visitor*? Aud no letters?" And I looked back, and with an independence that would have been impossible if I had teen speaking to Angeloh, I said, "None tbat concerns yon."
And after that it went to its club, ana I to see Angel-oh. He was in the kitchen, sitting in the cook's own chair writing a letter. I little dreamed then what that letter was, but I started in to give him a good talking to about carrying tales. Which talking to was interrupted by his saying, "I knows me duty Miss, to the gentlemen of the bouse. Let us not discuss that which is unpleasant to you, but which it were only right for me as man to man to refer to. 'The next morning breakfast time passed, market time can\e, but there was no sign of Angel-ob. Suddenly the cook remembered the letter, and said that he took it In and laid it on my desk. There it was. Angel-oh bad doue me the courtesy of using my best paper and this was the letter he bad written to me who bad been his true friend
MICHAEL'S FRANK LETTER. "Ma'am which it were not being ^tiruthful to 'put before tbat title an endearin' word, for you have been but a tyrant to me. An Irishman, specially when mixed with Eyetalians, never will be slaves, as is so beautifully sung by the English saylor. I cum you trustin' in the lovin' kindness of the female race but it were like askin' for respectable things to eat and bein' served with gravel. I am man of great knowledge, and it has grieved me greatly to see how this whole family is given over to lightness, and tbiugs which would be disproved of, both by Mr. Gladstone and
Mister McKinley. I, a,citizen, were put to the indignity of varnishin' your shoes I burl you all from me. Your mutton was not bad for America, but 1 never did like the flavor of the tobacco used by the master, and I oouldn't^abear a gentleman who did not leave around loose things tbat might have been pleasant to me. I can wish nothin' worse to you ma'am than is. certain to some, frrj-"™ "Yurs sincerely, 'MWA "MICHAEL ANGEL-OH. "P. S. As the winds of New York are terrible on my bad leg, I am goin' to Florida with a family who took me on your recommend. The recommend were a autograph which you wrote and above it put the truth about that tried and trusty man, Angel-oh. "P. S. There is a little bill staudln' at the corner saloon in the master's name. I am.sure be will be honorable enough* though I think him mean, to pay for this likker."
DOES KINDNESS TO TRAMPS PAY? Such was my experience with Michael Angel-oh. This was the result of taking in and doing for an able-bodied man who might have earned bis own living in some way or other. It i« quite tinnecessary, it seems to me, to say that the Ending rule regarding applicants at present is, "Always give them some thing to eat, but don't let them in." The family have behaved with a certain amount of respect for my feelings, and do not speak much of the late departed, but I think it is because each member is carrying in his or her heart a black secret connected with Angel oh which they do not care to think about. Hasn't this ever happened to you It is always coming one way or another, but I would rather make a mistake a thousand times than let somebody who was really hungry go away unfed. I can't say tbat I rtgret the acquaintance of Angel-ob. Turn about Is fair play. I did for him, and he did for
