MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The company that is to put op the Terre Haute Buggy Co's. new build jug at First and Main streets, will begin work shortly, and rush it to completion. The building will have a frontage of sixty-live feet on Main street, and run back to the alley just north of the old .Newhart mill. This building will be three stories in height. The blacksmith shop will adjoin this on the east, and will run to the north and south alley. This building will be two stories iu height. The building will be a handsome one architecturally, and will add greatly to the improvement which is doing so much for the betterment of the west side. The wast side has bad to stand a great deal of newspaper talk, some of which was deserved and some undeserved, but the boom that has struck that portion of the city will do away with a great many of the causes of this talk.

It will be a great move for the Terre Haute Buggy Co. to come down into the •city with its works and office. There are a great many Terre Haute people who do not realize what an important

Industry this is, or what class of work is turned out, and when the office and -works aro brought down into the business quarter opportunities will be furnished for disclosing these things. A man who wants a vehicle of any kind, and can't be satisfied with one of this company's make, would be hard to pleafce with a golden chariot propelled by angel's wings.

A great many Republicans cannot disabuse their mind of the old time superstition about thirteen being an unlucky number, since the council meeting Tuesday night. Nearly every man you meet has a kick about something, but it •must be said that the same condition of affairs would have existed had.the caucus slate been broken, aod an entire ... new set of officials named. No thirteen men living could take such a list of candidates as was offered for the different offices, and pick out a set that would have given no cause for complaint. It was a hard job, and despite the protests going up M. A. T. believes that what was done was with the very best intentions. He believes also that the present •counoll is one of the best the city has ever had, and that press and publio will find occasion during the coming two years to say many good words of it.

There were about 7,500 votes cast in tne recent city election, and the bill for election expenses was $1341, an average of eighteen cents a vote. The Australian ballot has come to stay, but thereshould be some way to reduce the expense. One thing the secret ballot demonstrated this spring is that it is greatly in favor of the man who has a grievance against hiH party, whether It be Republican or Democratic. When the law went into effect Democrats were Jubilant becHU*e, as they said, when people had a ohance to express their honest opinion without -coercion, a large majority were Democrats—and to tell the truth, the tirst few elections under the law made it look that way. But this spring's elections prove that the law isn't so much in favor of any particular party, but that it gives the dissatisfied a chance they wouldn't have had under the old law. Many a Democrat went into the booths last week, and stamped the eagle who wouldn't have oared to go up to the voting place and either vote a vest pocket ticket, or accept one from a Republican worker. "General" Fry is a son of Dr. Fry, of •CrawfordsviUe, and is remembered by the men who were boys in that town thirty years ago. He has near relatives in this city on whom he did not call -when he was here.

It is all well enough for the preacher men to be on the lookout for possible «jvll, that the unwary may be warned in lime, but it looks to Man About Town as if the Ministerial Alliance Is overxealous in the war fart they are* waging on the street car company. Indeed, they have been guilty of downright misrepresentation. Their greatest error or judgment is, however, In assuming that the proposal to open and light the park in the evening and to have musio there on Sunday is one of pecuniary Interest only. The preacher men thereby disclose their ignorance of publio opinion, not the vicious element by any means, but the opinion of goed clttrans who are capable of forming a wholesome opinion on a question of this nature. The people of this city want the use of that park for recreation, and they are not to be scared away from it by the false cry that something immoral may be done there. If the preacher men are truly solicitous for the morals of the city, and fear they will be led into evil ways by listening to good music at the

park Sunday afternoon, let them con sfder a .greater source of wickedness. What a reflection it is on the Ministerial Alliance that it appeals to the board of park commissioners to prohibit music 011 Sunday and says not a word of protest to the police commissioners against the open saloon on Sunday. The park matter is simply a question of discretion the open saloon is a violation of the law. If the preacher men were courageous they would tackle the violator of the law first. 1

A gentleman who was in Peoria this week says the glucose people there are making preparations to care for the capacity of Hamlin's Buffalo factory which was destroyed by fire. The Hamlin company own the Peoria plant which this, gentleman heard would be enlarged. He thought it would be a good thing for Terre Haute if a glucose factory could be located here. "These people have money," said he, "and it would be a permanent benefit to the city. These small concerns which we bring here are not of lasting good to the community. Money is raised for them, and pretty soon they go into a receiver's hands. We want such industries as this glucose factory. I for one would be willing to impose a tax to raise the $125,000 the Hamlins ask." The gentleman quoted is a prominent member of the free trade Democracy which, in a national sense, did not believe in fostering home industries by taxation.

To say the least, President Harrison of the street railway company is entitled to decent consideration, if for no other reason, because he is undoubtedly giviug the city the best street railway service it ever had. Every patron of the lines is gratified with the improvements, and when it is remembered that these have been made during the "hard times" there is no room for doubt that the company's purpose is to enlist the good will of the people, and consequently their patronage—a most commendable purpose.

The purpose of Grand Master Sargent, of the Brotherhood of Firemen, in calling the two grand boards of the order together to review his official conduct at this time is to head off indiscriminate attacks on himself at the international convention to be held in Harrisbnrg in September. Naturally he has made enemies during the trying times of the past eight months. Most of these enemities are due to the fact that he opposed the men who wanted to go on strikes against a reduction of wages. The grand master, in this respect, has done nothing not in harmony with the advice of every other labor leader, but somehow the men are enraged at him as they are at no other leader. Debs, for instance, is cheered to the echo by the men yet he told these same Chicago A Eastern Illinois employes, who are the most viciously Inclined toward Sargent, that it would be worse than fool-hardy for them to go on a strike. The grand boards will make a report to the convention which, it may be predicted, will thoroughly vindicate Sargent.

A week ago there was a prospect that the warring railway labor factious could be brought into something like amicable relations during this m'eeting here this week. Indeed, steps were taken in that direction, but events have transpired that utterly preclude a love feast.

The change in the mail delivery, by which the outside districts will receive mail which arrives at the postofflce early iu the afternoon, is a good one. There are routes only a few squares from the postoffice on which there is no delivery of mall after I o'clock. The free delivery service has been improving lately. For a time it was slow and many errors were made which, however, were not the fault of the carriers, but of the person who sorted the mail in the office. The carriers now belong to the Letter Carriers' Association, and there is more of the spirit of a corps of competent public servants. They believe their -tenure of office is to be regulated by good behavior and competency, and they work together without faction or suspicion.

Dr. Mendenhall has declined the presidency of the Ohio State University. He has not as yet declined the pres* ldency of Rose Polytechnic, which was tendered to him about the time the Ohio position was offered. A Washington dispatch quotes the doctor as saying that he did not see his way clear to leave the Coast and Geodetio survey at this time that in view of the proposed legislation transferring the bureau from the treasury to the navy department he thought it better to stay with the bureau until Congress acts one way or the other. Congress will have acted by August, and this will be a month before the beginning of the new school year at the Polytechnic.

If yon want to hear a lend and pronounced "kick" just wait until the insurance men who have been re-rating Terre Haute make their report. They have completed their work, and the report as revised, is now in the hands of the printer, and is expected to be made public some time next week.

There will be a material increase in the rates on business bouses and stocks, and as the adoption of the eighty per cent, co-insurance clause will prevent business men from reducing their total insurance to meet the advance in rates, the "kick" will be loud and long. The rate on dwellings will not be advanced, bufc the rate on barns and sheds will be as such property is considered more hazardous than ordinary dwellings. The local agents had a hard fight, it is said, to prevent an advance being made on dwellings, and they are all holding their breath in anticipation of the protest that will go np when the new rates are made public.,,-

That there is plenty of money on the market is evidenced by the fact that a well-known firm this week closed up two $25,000 loans at five per cent. Five per cent, interest is considered a pretty low rate among local financiers, even on big loans like those named.

Perhaps the chief purpose in ordering the big eoal strike has failed of accomplishment. It was to force Illinois into line. Since the interstate agreement was broken some years ago by the withdrawal of the Illinois operators the latter have been forcing down wages which, added to their other advantages in the Chicago market, made ruinous competition for Indiana bituminous coal. Operators and miners alike deplored the course of the Illinois people and it was thought that with a general strike the sucker state operators could be forced into an interstate agreement. They have refused to send delegates to the Cleveland conference and the Indiana operators have instructed their delegates to agree to no interstate scale whioh does not provide that Indiana shall not pay a price relatively higher than paid in central and southern Illinois. A miner's official remarked that what would yet have to be done would be for operators and miners from outside of Illinois to join in "giving the Illinois operators a good thrashing," which means to pool issues and support Illinois miners in a prolonged strike while other fields turn out coal enough to supply the customers of the Illinois operators. An operator said he thought such a course might be resorted to.

The annual visit of the board or visi tors was paid to the state Normal school this week. The institution was never more flourishing than at present. Mr. B. Nelson Smith of Lafayette, one of the visitors, said: "You can'tsay too much in that direction. There are 1,170 students, 200 more than ever before. While it may not be good policy to call up past troubles yet It may be said that there is no trace of the old defection/'

OBITUARY. "Jirty

David Smith, an old and well known resident, died Wednesday evening at his home on south Fifth street. He returned home from business in apparent good health, was seized with heart disease shortly after, and died in fifteen minutes. Mr. Smith was born in Sullivan county, September 2, 1826, and had spent his entire life in this vicinity. By his integrity and upright conduct he had oreated for himself that which is rather to be chosen than great riches—a good name. He died with the uniform respect of all who knew him, and his untimely tak-lng-off meets with universal regret. His wife and four children survive him. Mrs. Kate Johns, of Hutchinson, Kansas, Mrs. Ella Wills, of Kansas City, Mrs. Mary Hankins and Geo. Smith, of this city.

Another industrial army is headed this way, but it will not excite half the interest oreated by those handsome suits turned out by Klewit Holler, the pdpular merchant tailors at 649}$ Main street. Their selection of suitings is very complete, and shows all the latest designs. They turn out nothing but the very best work, and the increase in the number of their patrons shows that their work is well appreciated.

He has them in different widths, in opera and square toe.
