A TAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The ease with which names can be wecured to petitions, and the thoughtlessness with which many persons will attach their names to everything that eomes along is shown in the fight between brick and asphalt for Fifth street. There were quite a cumber of prominent property ownors on thatstreet who signed each petition. By the way, the Warren-Scharf company to which the contract was given for asphalt, and Kinser & Son, who got the cementing and sodding, agree to complete the work in ninety days, and will be further required to employ none but Terre Haute workmen, outside of the experts required.

Mr. Jacob Baur is acquiring the repu tation of being an earth girdler. Dur ing the past two or three years he has traveled to and from the larger cities in this country many timos. A few days ago he returned from Europe where be went on business in regard to a new patent, one of which it may be said "there's millions in it." Ho ran over to Europe, as the transatlantic travelers say, and then ran over Europe, visiting ^i.,half dozen or more cities in Germany iesioa in Switzerland, London, Paris 'ind Dublin, and is back home before but his more intimate friends lea mod that he had gone out of the country.

That was a graceful thint the council did in adopting resolutions to the mem ory of Capt. Cliff Ross, out of honor to his brother, Mayor Ross. The resolu tions were somowhat better worded than those adopted when ex-councilman "Jim" Grace died last year. In the resolutions regarding Owe occurred this sentence: "After the war he resumed bis old position and became a good Htizen." City Attorney Pete Foley was responsiblcfor the resolutions, and hnd to stand a great deal of chatting on account of this particular sentenco. Hia only reply was that a city attorney's •duties are properly to write legal documents and not obituaries or raemoriitis

That, was a very sensible ordinance the council passed Tuesday night, making it an offense for children to jump on or otF the electrio cars, or to play on the tracks, aud it ought to be Htrictly enforced. A resolution was also adopted directing the superintendent of the police to have an officer read the ordinance in every public school room in the city within ten days. There are «oiue men 011 the force I would like to hear read that ordinance for the benefit of the school children.

What a beautiful avonu« Fifth stroet will be when it is improved as ordered by the council Tuesday night. Asphalt *d !roin Ohio to Park, with uniform cement sidewalks the entire length of the improvement, with gra«s plots from widewalk to the street, ii will he the most attractive street in the city. The sight of that street will send many a pang tii rough the hoarts of Six tit streeters that they didn't have asphalt for their improvement rather than brick.

The strawboard trust has leased three of its larger plants to Crawford Fair hanks, of this city. They are located at Kokoiuu, Andersonand Ellsworth, north of town. Another large one is to be leased to the Diamond Match Co.'s president, O. S. Barbour, and the Smaller ones, of which there are eight or ten, whose total capacity is about equal to that of the Ellsworth mill, are "to be «old. The strawboard trust had been having trouble for some time, which culminated in a row and split up at the recent annual 'meeting, when Barbour was retired as president and General Sain Thomas, of Ohio. Senator Brice's partner in big speculations, elected as his successor. What this new deal -means no one who knows will say, but the indications are that the trust idea is practically abandoned, for the time being, at len*t.

There is to be a concerted and strong effort to raise $45,000 right here in Torre Haute to pay the Coates College debt, thus to put beyond doubt the permanence of its location in this city.

Ij»st week Man About Town referred to the tlrst-class advertisement Joe Kim, the tea merchant, had received by joining church. It has been suggested that the childlike and bland heathen did only what many peraone hare done. Indeed, Man About Town has been told -of an instance wherein a merchant vigorously argued with a preacher man to the effect that it was obligatory on the members of a church congregation to ileal with him because he belonged to that particular church.

Cue explanation of the action of the Chicago A Eastern Illinois company in reducing wages at this time Is that tt is to relieve the Big Four managen^nt of

Full Iyine

the task of doing so if the road is sold to the latter company. The C. & E. I. scale of wages is higher than paid on the Big Four and should the Chicago road become a division of the Big Four system naturally the men on the old divisions would insist on having an equalization of wages. The C. & E. I. has just declared a quarterly dividend of 1}4 psr cent, so that the company can not consistently ask the men to accept a reduction for the reason set forth by the many other companies that have obtained a 10 per cent, reduction in the last year, that is, the condition of business.

Nelson Morris and Joseph Greenhut, the leading spirits in the Whisky trust, have been In New York this week in conference with the American Distributing Company endeavoring to reconcile tneir differences to the end that the projected anti-trust distilleries may not be completed. There is a belief that the contracts for the one here were let with an understanding that if it should be decided to abandon the project at any stage of the work of construction payment was to be made only for the work performed.

The vacination question is being adjudicated in the Circuit court and it may be of interest to Terre Hauteans to know th'at so far as the lawyers have learned it is the tirst instance in which the question of the efficacy of vaccination has been passed up(/n in court. Indeed, it has not been considered an open question. Judge White, of Parke county, is presiding, and the anti-vaccinationists have centered their strength here to make a test case. The physicians, that is, most of them, and the health officers, state and local, are absorbed in the proceeding by which they expect to have Jenner's discovery of a century ago declared to be not guilty of all the horrible results attributed to it by theantis. The latter are enthusiasts, some people use the term "cranks," but that is a meaningless term unless it be used as to all of us, for who is not cranky on some one subject? Expert testimony is being taken and some of it is up to the highest standard of expert testimony in the quality of being unreasonable. Profes sor Pickering relied greatly on the statistics in the urtielo on vaccination in the Encyclopedia Brittanica, but the board of health people say these are rendered worthless by the confession of the compiler that he purposely made a bad showing for vaccination because t,tie writer of the article wanted that kind of statistics. Dr. W. Clarke, of Indian apolis, is here distributing a circular headed: "Ev'f.s of Vaccination. Skin Affeotions, Blood Poisoning and Chronic Diseases Often Caused." FJe terms vac cination the "Jenneration of Disease."

While looking for precedents defining the authority of a board of health .many were found which held that a b®ard has almost autocratic power. The logical conclusion of its power, if curried to the final assertion, is martial law When the Injunction suit was before Judge Taylor he held that under the law of 1891 the local board could not enforce an order for the vaccination of school ohi 1 dren unless the rnle of the state board of health had first been promulgated. Then a change of venue was taken and after a technical amendment had been made to a plea Judge White held that the local board's power 1h to be exercised as a rightof self preservation. No higher right exists. It is inherent in an individual and so it is in the ng^nt of an organized community. It is a natural right paramount to constitutional privilege when the latter conflicts with the former. The United States Supreme court has said that it would not attempt to detlue the scope of the authority of a board of health for fear of llm: Jng the authority.

The depositions taken at Muncie fur nlsh the following statistics of the epidemic of smallpox in that city from August, 1S93, to January 24th, 1894: Twenty-two deaths, eighteen not vaccinated and four vaccinated of the latter one was a nine months old baby whose mother had the disease. Thirty-four cases of confluent smallpox, six vacinated and twenty-eight not vaccinated, and forty-two mild cases, of which hirty-three had been vaccinated and line had not been.

O, the cuckoo Is a queer bird at best, It lays Its eggs In another bird's nest. Bat the qaeerest birds are the free trade roosters, who Thought they would lay some eggs just like a cuckoo. They laid everybody out and made them look blue, And now these roosters don'tknoweggsactly what to do. Roosters are fine birds to crow—no account to lay, They are like a crematory built Just right the wrong way.

Now an eggcellent bird is the cook who Cooks her eggs and bakes her loaves And lays oat her money for home made stovesShe lays you out grab of the very brat. That's the kind of a cook who lays in her own nest.
