A TAPER FOR THE VEOPLI

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The Wheel trust, in which the Standard Wheel Co., of this city, is the dominant interest, is trying to arrange for a selling agency for the product of all the companies in the trust. It is the same idea on which the Indiana block coal output is handled.

Aunty Baldy fell and broke the bone of her right thigh a week ago. She was 104 years of age October 24th last, and the remarkable vitality of this oldest resident of the city, oldest ooth as to her age and residence, is shown in the fact that death did not ensue immediately. Indeed she did not suffer from the shock and remonstrated against being kept in bed on account of the injury. She died yesterday morning.

Eugene Deb's new paper, thef Times, the organ of the American Railway Union has appeared, and as might have been expected, the editor is quite pointed in his remarks regarding the conduct of the old brotherhoods in the Lehigh strike. The Times thinks the strike was a blunder because nothing was gained by it. _____

Mr. John Bell has received a letter from his son, Fred Bell, who is interest ed in mining enterprises in Honduras, saying that he had been ill with the fever which is so common in that climate. He did not say that he was discouraged, but the father thought he read between the lines that the never-ending revolution and war made doubtful any industrial enterprise. The armies pass backward and forward, leaving famine in their track. They consume all the food, which they do not pay for, and make life a matter of mere existence. The press dispatches, this week, tell of a fresh outbreak of the revolutionists under the leadership of Bonilla, who started from Nicaragua with a recruited army and who captured two or three towns.

Early last spring Mr. John Bell received a letter from a man in Chicago who said he was a Honduran and a friend of Fred Bell that he was sick and owing to the war could receive no remittance from his people who were wealthy. Mr. Bell went to Chicago and cared for him and saw that the physician's imperative order that he be removed to a war trier climate was carried out. JdPe has boon with Fred Boll aud was his devwtod friend and nurse. He would not let any one elso attend him and spent.ev.ery moment with the Terre Haute, young man.

The postofQce is getting to be a notorious assignation place. In the evenings the Cherry street entrance and steps are occupied by men and women, and boys and girls for that matter, who had fixed "tfpon the place of meeting or who had exchanged signals on Main street and sought the dark side of the postoifice to hold conversations which they did not want to engage in on tbe public streets

It is said to Man About Town: Tbe price of flour has dropped since a year ago and the bakers have reduced Lhe price of bread. The price of beef has dropped since a year ago, but the butchers have not reduced the price of meat.

Two guests of trie Terre Haute house a week ago excited considerable curi oslty on the part of the habitues of this general headquarters. The name of one •was Woolsey and the other Smith, the former registering from New York and the latter from Nebraska City. Woolsey had the "cold grey eye of the gambler' and was the type of the ideal big speculator or promoter. They came to town with Henry Klopfer, who is largely interested in the cattle feeding business in connection with distilleries, but they did not register together aud endeavored to make it appear that they were not on the same mission. The story was that .Klopfer had had a falling out with Nels Morris of the whisky trust and that the visit here was to locate an anti-trust distillery. The visitors had frequent consultations with Crawford Fairbanks, who is, perhaps, the best informed man on trusts and pools in the west, and who is now said to be practically out of the whisky trust with which he was prominently identified wheu it was first organized. Just before Woolsey and Smith left town the latter said the price of real estate here was too high. Both are expected back in a few days. Ouly those on the inside know what kind of a deal is on and they won't tell.

The lawyers took a lively interest in the Mack contempt of court case this week. They do not "talk out loud" nor for the public ear but they view the incident with quiet satisfaction. They do not think that ex-Judge Mack was in the wrong, but Rome of them insist that when he was on the bench he was not impartial in granting to counsel the privilege of being heard on disputed points. The difference in this instance is la the fact that the lawyer who is said to have been permitted to speak when the other Bide was denied the privilege, is a son of Judge McNutt which fact is oarefully noted by other lawyers. There was anger and disregard for the dignity

8llllllK§§8

of judicial Proceedure on all sides with the natural result that tbe lay public is disgusted. Jddge McNutt was not content with fining the ex-judge $25 but ordered him out of the case and even out of the space around the lawyers' tables.

Governor Matthews was in the city Thursday night. He said he had not decided on the two men for trustees of the Normal school, and would not before the latter pan of this month. The governor is between the devil and the deep sea. The friends of the Normal management believe he should reappoint Murray BriggS| of Sullivan, and I. H. C. Royse, of this city, because not to do so would be to rebuke the action of the board and management at the time of the rebellion last June. The students, and a large majority of the teachers in the state, want one or two members of the alumni on tbe board. The governor said to Man About Town that he liked the principle, but the opportunity was not so inviting. In other words, there are but comparatively few of the alumni in the state who could be considered for the position. There have been but five hundred graduates since 1870, Of these perhaps one-half were women, and many are dead or have moved out of the state. It is also true that a capable edu cator is not likely to be a successful man of affairs, and business affairs are chiefly the duties of the trustees. The governor Baid he would not necessarily expect a trustee to be a teacher, but be would expect him to be a man of good judgment who could select a good teacher. A trustee of the insane hospital was not chosen because he had intimate knowledge of the treatment of the disease of insanity. Whoever the new trustees may be, he said, there would be no doubt that they are in entire sympathy with the action of the school management in the troubles of last year.

Prof. Marlowe formerly of the High School is teaching in California. The young man discovered, after a few weeks of investigation, that a climate about as far away a9 that of California would be good for his health.

The chiefs of .the railroad brotherhoods met Chicago this week to consider, among other things, proposed measures of legislation by congress. Several bills have been submitted to them by congressmen. The politicians see the growing sentiment against legislation which is wholly in the interest of corporations and are trying to curry favor with that seritlment. There is the same sentiment against placing corporation lawyers on the banch,aa is now being evidenced in the case of Hornblower. The action of Judge Jenkins the other day in trying to restrain men from quitting their employ tnent has had a decided eftest in arousing a sentimeut in opposition to theadvaucement of corporation lawyers to places of power oa the bench or elsewhere and one of the proposed laws i9 to exempt employes from the possibility of being punished if they go on a strike.

Mr. McKeeu says he has sold part of his holding of Vandalia stock to the Pennsylvania railroad people, and that

will be with the Pennsylvania. Three Pennsylvania officials were elected directors in the Terre Haute & Indianapo lis*( which id the lessor company of the Vandalia system), and they met wiih the four other directors yesterday when the old offloers were re-elected. Just how soon the deal will be fully oonsum mated is not known. Mr. McKeen says he can remain president as long as he wants to do so. tt is said there will be no changes in the official roster in the near future. That eventually there will be radloal ohaages, though made gradually, there is no doubt. It is foolish to hope or expect otherwise. All of the Pennsylvania roads west of Pittsburg are operated from that point. The auditor's and treasurer's offices of the Louisville, Vincennes, Fort Wayne aud other roads are at headquarters. What the effect will be on the shops is not known so definitely, but the chances are that, in a year or so, perhaps three or four years, we will have only a repair shop here. The Pennsylvania people have first-rate construction shops at Indianapolis, and it is not likely they will keep up twosuch plants within seventythree miles of each other. Of course what is said here is a gloomy way of forecasting the future, but time will tell whether or not It is a true forecast.

The boardof directors yesterday adopted the by-laws of the Pennsylvania system under which two committees were elected, an executive committee and a finance committee, whose authority is subsidiary only to that of the board of directors. Mr. Williams, who was reelected vice-president and general manager, is ohairman of the executive committee. The three Pennsylvania vicepreeidents, McCrea, Davidson and Brooka, and President McKeen, by virtue of his office, are the other members of the committee. Mr. Davidson is chairman of the finance committee, and the other members are McCrea, Brooks and President McKeen. General Superintendent Hill's title as assistant general manager has been dropped. N. K. Elliott has been promoted to superintendent of the main line and the Michigan division, as the Logan division is to be known hereafter. Ben McKeen is promoted to superintendent of the

Peoria division. These division superintendents will have authority over the engineering work, the shops and much else besides the traffic operations.

Mr. McKeen is deservedly the most popular of Terre Haute's rich men. He is far and away the most liberal and public spirited. Nothing that he has to give is too good for Terre Haute and the "Van" has been peculiarly a Terre Haute institution. The favors and privileges Terre Haute people have enjoyed by reason of his ownership of the road hav* been beyond the estimate of even those who suppose they are acquainted with his affairs. Many people had cause to believe that they had a vested right in his favors. No^ doubt he appreciated the situation, but he was patient, good natured and liberal just the same. Naturally, there are those who are victimsof jealousy and who carp at his popularity and say he bought it. They haven't bought any. If Mr. McKeen is willing to be a candidate for public office and should retire from the road he can count upon being able to utilize a large accumulation of popularity which is well distributed over the state.

"Pooh Bah" SanKey is what they are again calling the farmer statesman of Vigo county since he was elected president of the state board of agriculture at Indianapolis this week. Som^ one counted six offices he has held in the past two years, not to speak of his re cent service as a juayman.
