A ITAPER*
FOR THE
tobacco chewing would not be quite the!
proper caper. No one who never longed
1or a chew of tobacco can appreciate how entirely "a long felt want" is filled under such circumstances. When the "Poet of Humanity" bad taken bis chew of tobacco he said: "Well, that is one things I won't give up."
What is the trait in a man accustomed to public speaking wbicb prevents him realizing tbe fact that there is nothing so out of place, nor go surely calculated to make bim unpopular, as to occupy too much time with his remarks on such an -occasion as that of the Thompson celebration, wben tbe allotted time for tbe •exercises is nearly over and the people are impatiently waiting to bear tbe speaker of the occasion, the guest of the evening?
The Terre Haute club is running short of black balls. The members are using them so freely ibat tbe white ones are in danger of being in the minority. I am told that tbe black balling industry has started factional quarrels and retaliation has proceeded to the extent that there is something like a vendetta. One set has announced that unless the black ball rule Is abandoned and tbe applications for membership passed upon by tbe directors tbey will blackball every name posted on the blackboard. Gentlemen whose names were posted withdrew thfem for tear of being black balled. I havo been told of some lively interchanges of personal remarks in the bar part of the cafe but as the first principle of clubdom is not to repeat outside of tbe clubhouse any tiling said or done on the Inside, it wouldn't do to print any of theso remarks.
The Indiana miners are mad enough to repudiate the agreement signed at Columbus and continue the strike. Of course there is little or no prospect for them to gain anything in addition to tbe terms of the Columbus agreement but that is not tho way they, in their exasperation, view the outlook. They feel that they have done tbelr part in reducing the supply of mined coal, that the operators have had a harvest and now have abetter market and that the men are entitled at least to last year's scale of wages. It will probably be several weeks before all the Indiana mines are in operation. In the meantime there is likely to be considerable disorder and it will be in a different direction from that of the past two months. CJp to this time there has been collusion be tween miners and operators and the operators' property has been undisturbed. From now on the effort will be made to resume operations and the men who resist will direct their destructive efforts toward tbe mining property.
A committee of local insurance agents consisting of Messrs. Early, Havens aud Smith went to Cincinnati this week to «nt©r complaint against tho new rating schedule for mercantile property and industrial plants. Two experts, named Ashbrook and Prescott, came here two or three mouths ago and went over the city to rerate the property which had not been rated for live years previous They were very exclusive in their contact with our people, if not discourteous. The result of their work was made known in the schedule book received a week ago but the reasons for the many radical changes were not given. It was expected there would bean increase, not •o much, perhaps, as 40 per cent, the amount estimated on the basis of the new schedule, but the complaint is that tho insured are not informed how the increase has been arrived at. Tbe basing rate of the Indiana board is 50 cents on theflOO. To this are added varying amount* for deficiencies in the structure of the building. For Instance, an unenclosed stairway adds 5 or 10 cents, the arrangement of the elevator makes a difference, as does tbe manner in which the joist rest in the walls and many other causes are listed for an additional rate. The local agents wanted to be able lotell the insured party why the increase is made so that he mtght either remedy the defect and secure a lower rate or be content to pay the higher rate if he knew

Tbe street car people made covery a few days ago that their

Polytechnic 8tndeDt».
Tbey had rooms

along
car line. Tbe
otormen observed a wire
stretched
the gtreet but it wa8
conaiderably
above the trolley wire and tbey supposed it was either a telephone or private telegraph wire until one day it was found sagging down until it touched tbe trolley wire. The landlady of one of the houses was informed that it migbtcause a fire and then investigation developed the fact that the Poly boys wanted some electricity with which to continue their study in electrical engineering while in their rooms.
Since tbe insurance companies a few years ago decided to get together, raise and maintain rates, forming a combine, as it were, the people who support them receive scant consideration. When a property owner undertook to talk to Ashbrook and Prescott he was cut off short, about as a federal government official might expect to be when a special agent came around to inspect his office to tind out how much short he was in his accounts. Of course tbere is no alternative except to do without Insurance and the average property owner is not ricn enough to be his own insurance company and pay his own losses.
The open electric car is a first-class summer resort. It affords relief from the sweltering heat and is a low-priced recreation. In Chicagb it has become a fad. Street car parties are made up and the evening spent on the long trips that may be taken in that city of magnificent distances. It used to be that riding on a street car was in the nature of a necessary infliction. It was a means of getting from one place to another a trifle sooner than one eould walk the distance. A gentleman who WHS in Cincinnati this week told me that before and after he transacted the business that called bim there he spent the time on the fast cable a.d electric cars. He was thus enabled to see the city from the levee to the remote residence streets on the hilltops. Tbe day was a hot one but he was cool on the cars and returned to Terre Haute that night far less fatigued than if he had remained about the hotel.
The latest deal for the consolidation of the two gas companies is off but that doesn't mean that another one is not getting "on." The old gas company will soon hold its annual meeting and muoh depends on the action then taken whether or not there will bo consolidation. __

Dishon has the biggest job of his life in the contraot for posting bills for tbe Terre Haute fair races. The bill boards in Buffalo, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Detroit, Chicago and St. Louis are to be covered with advertising matter for the great $90,000 meeting.
It is about a certainty that Terre Haute is to have another large business block, to be occupied by a dry goods firm.
Sheriff Stout sent a couple of deputies to one of the Sugar Creek coal banks, but they left in a great hurry when told by the strikers to go. Stout made a grea^ talk to the people over there about the protection he would provide, but be fell far short of doing it—just as was expected he would.

A Terre Haute Dyer's Good Work?--Some time ago it was announced that tbe proprietor of the Pride of tho West Steam Dye House. St. Louis, was in the city arranging to establish an agency for his business. J. F. Ermisch, the well known dyer on Main street, can testify that the Sfc. Louis man was here, for he sold him a sign of colored dress goods, at a high price, which was sent to the St Louis office as a sample of the work produced bj' Mr. Ermlscb, who says Terre Haute people will be humbugged if they send their goods away from the city for dyeing .or cleaning. Mr. A. Seligsohn, the proprietor of the St. Louis concern, will show St. Louis people what pretty colors Ermisob can make, something Terre Haute people know very well. They know also that Ermlscb knocks them out on fine work and prices every time.A*-'£w
