A TAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The prospect now i« that the Vigo fair race meeting will be so successful that the net profit will be the amount of the gate receipt*. This means a good deal when it is remembered that $90,500 will first have to be paid to the owners of the winning horses. There is something so stupendous, comparatively speaking, in the amount of money offered in purses and stakes, that people generally do not understand how it is done. For a time many sporting writers either scoffed at or ignored, the meeting. And now the inquiries are coming in by mall every day asking it it is true that |90,500 is to be paid and if so bow it is possible to do it. The faulty understanding arises from the belief that the money is to be made up by the gate receipts. Of the total for the big futurity stakes $48,000 is paid in by the owners of horses. This is made up of the entrance fees One that was guaranteed in 1890 for $11,500 is now worth $22,500 and will amount to |24,000 the day of the race. That is, the men who entered the horses have paid in the amount. There were nearly 400 entries in the first plaee and there are yet forty four on the list. Nearly all of the remainder of the $90,500 is likewise contributed by the owners of the horses.

Dr. Mendenhall has declined the offer of the presidency of the Rose Polytechnic institute. It is not believed that be does so because he expects to remain at the head of the government Coast and Geodetic survey. A Washington dispatch says it is rumored at the treasury department that be is to resign his bureau position soon, and it is not to bo wondered at because of the outrageous treatment he has received from the politicians. John O.Underwood, of Chicago is the latest applicant for the place on the ground that he is a Democrat and that it is part of the spoils. It is believed Dr. Mendenhall is going to an eastern institute, perhaps the Stevens institute, at Hoboken.

Colonel Thompson's eighty fifth birthday is to be publicly celebrated on June 9th. It is eminently proper and fitting that the friends of "the grand old man" Bb? ta,'--3(Jvantage of the oo-

of the v#jpl'respect, friendship and admiration they have for him. This was what Man About Town thought some weeks ago when he suggested that something of the kind be done. A committee of well known citizens has taken charge of the affair. The opera house has been secured for the evening and invitations are being sent to many friends of the colonel in other cities. Only four of his associates in the cabinet of President Hayes are alive—Sherman, Evarts, Sohurz afad Key—and they will bo invited. The Hon. R. C. Winthrop, of Massachusetts, once speaker of the national house of representatives, and the Hon. I. K. Eastman, of Now Hampshire, who are the only survivors of the •congress of 1840, of which Colonel Thompson was a member, also will be Invited. Others who will be asked to take part In the celebration are, Ex President Harrison, Senator Voorhees, General Lew Wallace, Colonel Ingersoll, James Whiteomb Riley and anumber of Indiana men of prominence who are counted among the colonel's personal friends. Colonel Thomas H. Nelson will preside at the opera house meeting when addresses will be made by several Terr® Haute cltissensand by some of the visitors. The idea is not to submit the •colonel to the wearing effect of a general handshaking reception and that is one reason why the opera house has been selected so that he can be on the stage, seen by all but not liable to the well-in-tended but overpowering personal demonstration of the good will of his fellow citizens. It has been suggested that the colonel presid#^ the Republican county convention which is to be held the same afternoon but he has wisely decided that it would not be prudent for him to undergo the added strain on his strength.

The Beach case, in one of its preliminary technical stages, has again been up in court this week. Judge White has been hearing testimony on the question of fact whether the indictments against Beach were baaed on information obtained by the grand jury from the books of the Prairie City bank which the Judge had previously decided could not be used as evidence, because Beach's constitutional rights would thereby be invaded. Most of the grand jurymen testified that the indictment for emberalement of $75# which Beach held as trustee of the bondsmen of ex-City Treasurer Fitspatrtck was found without reference to the bank's books. Judge White yesterday decided that the indictment is good that the evidence was overwhelmingly conclusive that the banker was not injured by the production of the

books. He ruled that be should plead to the indictment next Thursday. The decision was undoubtedly a blow to the defense. On Thursday the judge will set a date for the trial which will not be before the latter part of June as Judge White has to hold court in his own circuit in the meantime.

A man who dot)* business with the retail grocers of the city says twentyfive have gone out of business in the last year. He accounts for it on the ground of hard times, and says that these who are in business are selling less and at smaller profit than ever before. The retail grocers say they find that their customers are doing without many of the extra or side dishes on their tables. For instance, the man who used to have canned goods on his table every day in the week, either has it only once or twice or perhaps notatall. A wholesale grocer speaking of the same thing said that there was another noticeable fact: the providont German whose wages or income has been curtailed one-third has canned goods but one-third as many times as before, whereas the American gets mad and does without canned goods altogether.

One of the results of the hard times is the decided change toward a cash basis in the groeery business. The wholesale grocers have done much to bring this about by tightening their lines of credit with the retailer who in turn presses his customers for cash. This is another of the causes for the falling off in the volume of trade. The cash purchaser does not buy as freely or indulge in as many luxuries as when he had the order "charged." A wholesale liquor dealer who sells to most of the grocers in the outlying districts who have bars in connection with their stores, says there has been as large falling off in his trade as in the groceries.

When you take into consideration the fact that Terre Haute has increased in population a great deal during the last year the shrinkage in the grocery trade is all the more significant. It means that the people are not only getting down to a cash basis but are provident to a degree not known in many years past. It Is the making of a perfect foundation for a substantial structure of prosperity when there comes a revival of Industrial prosperity. It is the report of traveling salesmen that much the same process of shrinkage is going on in the country trade. The farmer is being called upon for cash that the country storekeeper may comply with the wholesale dealer's demands. So strict ly are the wholesalers enforcing their new credit system that the salesmen do not colleot from the oustomers, special collectors going on the road for that purpose. The idea is that a salesman in bis eagerness to sell a bill of goods would not press the customers for the payment of the account.

Paymaster Crawford, of the Yandalia, in his monthly payments this week used $90,000 in gold, which was about half the total of the pay roll.

The High school senior class this year is composed of 21 boys and 28 girls. Last year there were 29 boys and 30 girls. The High school educators in other cities are puzzled over the unusually large proportion of boys and some ef them are writing here to know what the explanation is.

The strike of the coal miners which baa been on a month aud a week is reaching the dangerous stage, that is wheu lawlessness and the destruction of property, with bloodshed as a horrifying incident of the desperate struggle, will become general. More than 150,000 men have been engaged in the strike and they are growing impatient at the delay In gaining their point. They had reason to believe that if they shut off the supply of coal for a month the operators would be able to agree among themselves on a higher scale of wages, the price of coal having been raised by the operation of the natural law of supply and demand. Indeed, there is some truth in the assertion that some of the operators were in collusion with the leaders in the miners' organization in promoting the strike. That is what makes the miners angry, now that having done their part, as they consider the scheme, in uplifting the price of coal so that the higher wages can be paid there is not readier action on the part of the operators. Their anger is intensified, too, because the newspapers are beginning to severely criticise them and their officials because the public is suffering by reason of the coal famine. The average editorial is to the effect that President John McBride has ordered a strike at an onpropitious time that he is causing innocent parties to suffer, throwing out of work many men employed in other industries which depend on steam making coai, etc., etc., but not a word of criticism of the operators who are in league with John McBride.

Axel is the four-year old son of Axtoll who as a three-year old got a record of 2:15& and then gave promise of much greater speed. But he was a vicious fellow and so unruly that his

speed could not be developed. He was owned by C. P. Bruce, of Minneapolis, and was in Budd Doble's stable. Several months ago he was placed under the charge of Russell Railey, of Versailles, Ky., who for years has been noted for his ability in training saddle and carriage horses so tbat|hey were amenable to discipline such as is usually found in trick horses. When he left here Axle was a rough aud tumble fighter. He was a man eater and if thefit was on him he would pull down a rail fence with his teeth There was no safety within his reach, and none out of it if he were loose and you couldn't climb a tree or jump a fence. He threw men down and tried to kill them. It was not believed that the viciousness was inherent but that it was a case of spoiled boy. When he was a yearling he nipped at a rag or a person's arm if flourished in hie face. This was thought to be funny and he was humored in it. He would catch one end of a towel in his teeth and some one holding the other end would tug at it to make him shake his head as a young bull pup will do when he is being trained to be tenacious with his jaws. So, what was once play became viciousness and second nature. Railey had a bard time of it with him for the first few weeks but Axle had brains and reasoning faculties and finally was forced to the conclusion that his aots of villous ness always brought punishment on himself. A rail fence with spikes in the top rail cured him of the propensity to tear down fences. A stuffed effigy of a man clad in spiked garments put an end to bis desire to be a man eater, and so on until he concluded to behave himself. He is back here in the Doble stable and last Thursday Railey gave an exhibition of his -'atiful conduot. He obeyed the command of the voice, permitted a half dozen persons to enter his stall and a colored man crawled under his body. He was more docile than any one of a half dozen stallions on the grounds. Doble will begin training him for the season's racing and it is believed his wonderful speed can be developed. He is entered in the four-year-old futurity stake, worth $24,000, to be trotted during the Vigo fair race week which, begins August 13 th.
