MAN ABOUT TOWN.
Man About Town heard a young man tell of an experience he had in an attempt to use Uncle Sam's mail service to matte the recipient of a letter believe the writer was in another city when he wrote the letter. He enclosed the sealed and addressed envelope to the postmaster of a Michigan city with a request that he mail It from bis office. By the way the letter was f®r a young lady in the same town whence the Thursday night the young man of a week ago received bis letter. The Michigan postmaster didn't do anything but obey a rule of the pos (.office department and wrote across the envelope the statement that it hud been mailed to him from Terre Haute with the request to mall It from his office.
The agents here of the European steamship lines are receiving many inquiries as to rates and routes for tourist parties this spring and summer. Mr. Jacob Baur, who recently returned from Europe, where he went on a business trip, says that judging froin the number of Americans he saw on the vessels and in Europe foreign travel has not decreased because of the hard times.
The stroet cars carried three hundred persons last Saturday night on the trips made after the usual time for the last trip. President Harrison ran them later that night for the benefit of shoppers. Perhaps, when the warm weather comes Mr. Harrison may experiment with later trips every night. He has shown that he is willing to go more than half way in meeting the wishes of the public and the public is beginning to show its appreciation of this desire to please as well as of the improved'service generally.

favor of a law authorizing a commission to make a thorough inspection twice a year of all the nuunerios in this country, unaccompanied by those in charge of tho insiitutions, to the end that inmates who might dfsire to renounce their obligations and return to the world could do so assured of ample protection, there was more hearty and spontaneous applause than at any other point in the lecture. Pope Bob is making even moro severe attacks on the Roman Catholic church than hehad been accnsumiod to do and that is saying a good deal.
Judge Ared While, who is hearing the vaccination case, believes in long daily nesslons of court. Procceedings begin at 8:30 a. in. aud continue until 0 p. m., with one hour for dinner. It would uot tako long to clear ttie dockets of our courts with these court hours enforced.
Miss .Mary H. Krout, formerly an editorial writer ou The Express, aud who hrts been with the Chicago Inter Ocean lor several years, is now in Honolulu for the second tiuio representing the Inter-Ocean. She will go from there to Australia. Miss Krout is a sister of Miss James Bigelow of this city.

Th« vaccination Hiiit proceeded like a farce, to an omsider. it seemed preposterous that the efficacy of vaccination should be proven or disproven by the testimony of a dozen local witnesses who could testify only as to their personal knowledge or as experts. Statistic- and ouusidc facis, well authenticated by medical authorities the world over, pro and

were not admitted.
I'nl^N* the outsider desire to enter uport an investigation of these authenticated reports, he must be content to accept us ins own i.ue upinlou of others in whom lie places eontidence.* That the great nmjority of the medical profession does believe vaccinatum is the hope of those who willingly submit to the board of health's order. The eontra-. dictory statistics are what puzzles oue, though. For instance, oue report says that of 5,0»K) cases of small pox in Philadelphia in the past twenty-three years only 1,150 were persons who Had uot been vaccinated. The U. S. consul at Bradford, Eugland, is said to have reported that during the -mall pox epidemio in that city last year there were
eases, 702 of whom had been vaccinated, 110 dying, and all that died had been vaccinated. Yet the large majority of physicians say the statistics are altogether in substantiation of the assertion that vaccinatiou docs prevent small pox.

A number of them tried to explain it to their own satisfaction but they confess that they have been unable to do so Some of them are men who take a few drinks every day, with customers, perhaps, in other cities but do not go on a toot.

Within the past two weeks there were not less than four cases of death from the surgical operation to remove the vermiform appendix from men prcmin eatenough to cause the information to be telegraphed over the country in the press reports. It is suggested that a society be formed to oppose this new fad in surgery. It is only within recent years that the learned doctors bpcame aware that there was such an affliction as appendicitis. I would like to know what I people died from when they had appendicitis before appendicitis was known. II have no doubt that an anti society I could be organized. Indeed, there is no hobby 011 which an energetic enthusiast conld not found a society.
Man About Town was told a story about the election last Monday of vestrymen at St. Stephen'-* church for the ensuing year. There had been a feeliDg that Mr. John S. Beach ought to be willing to retire. To make his retirement as inconspicuous as possible all vestry meu were to resign, and in the re-elec-tion the ex-banker was to be left off the ticket. But those who arranged this considerate plan for his disappearance were nonplussed when Mr. Beach put in an appearance aud would not consent to be dropped. On the contrary, he passed the receptacle for the ballots wheu the voting was done and was reelected.
Mr. John Lamb brought the word from Washington that Willie Breckenridge tried to settle with Madeline Pollard and prevent the court trial but all overtures itr that direction were repulsed.
A traveling man at the Terre Haute house Wednesday gave an exhibition of pursuit of business in violation of all sense of decency that would be difficult to surpass. He wanted to transact business with 0110 man that afternoon so that he could get out of town in the evening but his customer was attendinga funeral, indeed was a pall bearer. While the traveling man was at the hotel counter the funeral processiou went past and his man was at the side of the hearse. The traveling man quickly called to the clerk to send a bell boy to ask the customer to step into the hotel a few minutes. The clerk, who never is startled, deliberately began to argue with the guest that it would be bad policy to do so because ill-luck invariably attends all who interrupt a funeral and by the time be had exhausted bis fund ofsuperstitious sayings the funeral processiou was far away.
As the first of April draws near the gossip in Vandalia circles increases. Under the new constitution and bylaws the board of directors holds four state meetings each year and the first, of these is to be heid soon after the first of next month. There is a feeling that some radical changes will bo made in the official household and the roster of employes. That a general superintendent is to bo elected is a fact and the gossip Is mostly as to who it will be A story startod in the last few days is that Colonel Hill will withdraw his resignation. One story, sent out from Rich rnond, had it that the jurisdiction of General Superintendent Miller of the Pennsylvania lines west of Pittsburg would be extended to the Vandalia but It can b.? said ou the best authority that this is uot true. Besides, the general superintendent of the Vaudalia, under the by laws must have headquarters in Terre Haute. Man About Town will repeat his guess that N. K. Elliott will be the next g-eneral superintendent of the Vandalia svst«m.
That unexpected snowstorm Wednesday morning caught the writers of ad verttsements for the morning papers. One clothing house announced "spring suits are ripe to-day." An Indianapolis dry goods firm made prominent a sale of parasols.
Man About Town feels very much gratified to discover that our theatergoers are improving their company manners. All season he has been nagging away on this subject, and it seems to have had some effect, for at the Modjeska performance Wednesday night the closing scene In the last act was not altogether ruined by the rush for th doors.

Beggs, whose word is to be depended on iu all affairs, was quoted by Man About Tcwn as saying he knew Woolsey, and that he would be sorry if any of his (Col. Beggs') friends should be taken in by the stranger. The suggestion wa^c offered in this column that before the^ people of TeiTe Haute made the contri button of §-1,000 to help buy the site for the distillery there should ba som guarantee that it would be built, not to say operated. I-understand that Mr. Hulman and Mr. McKeen insisted ou a stipulation that at least $25,000 be expended. But, suppose $50,000 had been expended in this city, §4 000 is a big premium on it, especially when the beneficiaries were justly under the suspicion of being "on the make." But Woolsey, he with the "cold, grey eye of the gambler," told the newspapers how much he admired Terre Haute, bow he bad great faith in the city's prosperity, and how he rejoiced that he was to be identified with the city. He gave us lots of taffy, and he became the "genial" Mr. Woolsey. There is but one man who is h's superior iu tuis sort of thing—M. E. Ingalls, of the Big Four, who builds depot castles and goes into raptures over every town on the line of his roads. Woolsey did not take the public into his confidence as to what backing he had. Now there is a newspaper dispute as to whether or not the American Dis-
A
tributing Co., with which the trust has made terms, was making the bluff with Woolsey playing the cards. Smith is quoted iu one of the daily papers as saying the deal in New York "dumps" the new distillery. The other daily paper quotes him as denying that he said so, the first reiterates it and says Smith stands by it, and the second again quotes Smith as standing by the denial. Both Woolsey and Smith have been called to New York. The truth is, the compromise in New York meant that these opposition distilleries are to be abandoned, and all the talk we h..ve heard has been, as Man About Town said in the beginning it would be, the talk of those wto were engaged, ou both sides, in a big confidence game. It is bunco on a huge scale.
.The board cf managers of Rose Polytechnic Institute have received a number of applications for the position' of president to succeed Dr. Eddy.
The late winter, or early Spring, cold snaps always cause a controversy a.t to the amount of damage done to the fruit crops. It is a safe rule to discount the average estimate one half. Not the least of the afflictions that come with these unseasonable frosts are the reminiscences of the oldest inhabitants. There can be no cold snap that is as cold as the one to whose description you listen in silence out of respect for the age o£the narrator. No doubt thirty or fori years from now the lionlike dep:mure oi March iu 1894 will be described by the oldest inhabitants of that future time au the worstou record. Wednesday's MiuM' fall will become a foot deeper with eac!: ten years. Talking about the. weather, let. Hicks have the credit for having told us that we were to have phenomenally stormy and cold weather in the latter part of the month. I notice that the Gazette quotes the preacher prophet only when the ravage of observation of its readers does not take in such weather as Hicks predicted. Last Saturday we were told that March had come in like a lamb aud was continuing lamblike whereas while this may have been true for Terre Haute yet in the week ending with that Saturday the people of the northwestern and western states suffered from the worst blizzard of the winter and we"caught the swish of its tail a day or two later.
