The baby cab ia a nuisance on snchoc--cawions an the Princes Orient parade. It is ali the more in the way when' the mother persists in standing with it cro^S' way of the sidewalk. Yet, who is willing that there should be an ordinance here as there is in many cities prohibiting their presence on streets where the people congregate in large numbers? No one, I venture to say, when it is known that the mothers who bring their babies in cabs, often two in one cab, on Main street, would not be enabled to see the parade, or do a little Saturday night chopping, if they could not take the offspring along. There is no one at home to take care of them while the weary mother finds rest for mind and body in the change of scene.

There is one nuisance on these street display occasions tbat ought to be abated. It is the selfish custom of people who have horses and carriages and who stop alonHide the curbstone to see the passing show. They obstruct the view of all less fortunate persons who are otherwise content with standing room on the sidewalk. The police ought to drive these selfish drivers froa^the streets along the line of march.

It took the Indiana miners but a few days to realise that they had made a blunder in following the radicals who wanted to continue the strike after their officials had Bigned an agreement that was supposed to bring it to an end. Even though the settlement may have been an Ill-advised one, from the miners standpoint, yet it wa« plain tbat the act had broken the back bone of the strike that it was the beginning of the end and tbat a continuance of the strike in Indiana merely provided an opportunity for the sale of coal from other states to the purchaser who had formerly depended on the Indiana product. It is now a race to get out coal first. The railroadswltohes to the coal mines are filled with empty coal cars which in a few days will be on their way to the markets loaded with Indiana coal mined at ten cents less a ton than was paid when the men went on a strike April 20th. The two questions, to be ever in dispute and never to be decided, are: Would the price have been still less had there been no strike? and would the strike for ten cents more have been a success had the miners' representatives held out a while longer?

And now comes the hard coal strike. The situation is said to be the same as it was with soft eoal at the beginning of the recent strike. That is, the operators have a big supply on haud, the miners have been having but one and two days work a week, and there is to be a strike to let the consumers exhaust the supply, at high prioes, and create a demand tbat wil' afford more work and at better wages. The anthracite miners are paid on a sliding scale, but that does not mean that when the stored coal is sold at an advance of 100 per cent., perhaps, the miner will be paid anything more than be long ago received for mining this coal which is to make fortunes for the operators. .The scale isn't arranged to slide under such circumstances*

At the mass meeting of the block coal miners on Wednesday the vote was 988 to 245 to return to work at the Columbus scale. Nearly all of the 246 votes were cast by Austrian* and Italians from around Oaseyviileand Perth. The resolution had to be translated for them by an Interpreter. When this had been done they stood like wooden images, with expressionless faces, and waked for a leader to tell them what to do. When the mass meeting voted four to one to hear statements by National Vice-President Dunkerly and State President Penna the foreigners followed the leaders to a spot in the grove out of hearing distance. Iheir conduct was a satire on the intelligent American work* ingnian and the American love of free speech.

This has been a perfect week for the crops. Those who know say that wheat In Vigo county never looked so promising and that never was there as large an acreage of it.

Public entertainment, free, like the Princes Orient parade is good for the public mind, especially in "hard times." Wednesday night many a person went to bed with leea of the blues. The hard lines in many lives are severe enough these days and anything that will drive

The announcement by the defense in the Beach case tbat it would be ready for trial next Monday was a surprise to the prosecution, as it was to the public. Judging from the persistent efforts hitherto to avoid trial it was thought the defense never would be ready to submit the question of guilt or innocense to a jury.

When the suit to set aside the will of the late Mrs. Esther Baird comes to trial there will be some sensational testimony- The action is brought on the ground that undue influence was exerted on the testator. Mrs. Baird was a childless widow when she died leaving about 930,000 in cash and bonds. By the will she bequeaths all of it to a nephew and niece in the west, ignoring a sister, who is in need, who lives in Lowell, Mass. Mrs. Baird's husband was a tailor in this city some years ago.

The newspapers which eulogized the city officials of New Albany for not permitting "General" Kelly to bring his arrny into that city have made no comment on the fact that the city was called upon to foot a steamboat bill for carrying the army up the river and dumping it on Madison.

The Vandalia company has decided to make an extra effort to secure a larger share of the travel to the northern Michigan summer resorts. A Pullman buffet car will leave St.' Louis in the morning, arriving here at 12:47 and leaving at 1 p. m. on the "St. Joe Flyer," which will be put on next Monday. The car will go through to Petoskey, arriving there the next morning. Tbi| traveler from St. Louis and here'can1 reach the Michigan resorts via the Vandalia quioker than by any other route. The "St. Joe Flyer" is scheduled as fast as any trains on the main line. The World's Fair travel by the way of St. Joe and the lake introduced the route to many persons who will take advantage of It this summer. The whalebaok, the Christopher Columbus, which ran from VanBuren street to the World's Fair, will run between Chicago and St. Joe two dayB In the week during the summer,

Mr. John Bell has received a letter from his son, Mr. Fred Bell, who Is in Honduras, but who h»d not been heard from for several months owing to the rebellion. He Is 140 miles back from the coast and all his men had been pressed Into the service, so that he could not send a letter to the shipping port. He has one of the best mining camps in Honduras and thousands of dollars of wealth etored about him in quartz that Is too large for his mill. The frequent rebellious wars have tended to retard enterprising men from entering the country to develop its vast natural resources. A company composed of Chicago, St. Louis and New Orleans men have leased thousands of acres of timber land and are cutting and storing the timber to await the day of the railroad, when it can be oarried to a shipping port and thence.to this country where it would command high prices because of its rare quality.

I find the opinion is very general that the new council, in the matter of the removal of city officials, waded into deep water without looking to see how wide the stream was or adequately estimating the contingencies in safely reaching the other shore.

I learned in Brazil this week that the merchants do not expe«t to feel the cash benefit of a resumption of mining operations for six weeks. In the first place there Is considerable preliminary work before coal is loaded on the cars, and the miner is given credit for it. Then there is back rent and other debts to bo paid, which keeps the money in the company's bank account. A Terre Haute operator says it will be more than trix weeks before the merchants of this city will be paid money by miners. The wholesale houses are already experiencing a revival of trade in the mining districts, where they had done no business during the past two months. The brewery, which suffered a heavy loss in trade, will also be in advance of the retail merchant in experiencing the revival.

I am credibly informed that some of the Polytechnic boys meet with considerable difficulty In keeping up with their studies and at the same time indulge in the luxury »f a sweetheart. The course of Instruction Is about all the average young man can take care of,

and any such diversion as is involved in paying attention to a sweetheart is almost sure to be detrimental to the student's standing in his classes. While Terre Haute girls undoubtedly are very attractive, the Poly faculty does not mention the attraction in the advertisements of the institute.

One week from to-night there will be 1,200 persons less In the city than today. Normal students to tbat nYimber will have gone to their homes. The Normal students do not make the impression on the city that their numbers would indicate. They are not heard en the streets indeed, are not seen on the streets except as they go back and forth from their rooms to the school, but they area big factor in the city's prosperity. They spend not less than $20,000 a month here. The only institution which surpasses it, in the respect of money circulation, is the Vandalia, whose pay roll in Terre Haute runs close to $50,000 a month.

The old-time superstition on the Vandalia system tbat accidents come three in succession has been dispelled. The death of Engineer Barr was succeeded by the smash-up at Pocahontas, but the third did not follow. 'However, the second one was bad enough to count doubie. Jglcj

First Assistant Postmaster General Jones has been writing to postmasters in Illiuois instructing them that they are not to take an active part in politics, especially in conventions.^ The civil service commission has asked the postmaster general to give the same instruction in Michigan, where postmasters are helping along ex-Postmaster General Dickinson's campaign for governor. It was Dickinson, by the way, who issued a like order when he was postmaster general In Cleveland's first administration. If the order is made to apply to Indiana, Vigo Democrats will have to elect anew chairman for their county committee, t*' i.,1 f«4J

The directors of the Terre Haute club have realized tbat the blackballing threat indulged in because certain parties were not elected would ultimately result in damage to the club. They called the threatening members down, and on Thursday night ten new members were elected, all that were voted on.

Do not put tin cans, ashes, bricks, broken crookery in your garbage barrel or privy vault, but deposit them in a suitable place in the yard and at the proper time have them removed.

Do not visit houses in which there is a case of diphtheria, scarlet fever or measles. Persons in whose families any contagious disease exists must use every precaution to prevent the spread of such disease.

By a close observance of these rules and a prompt response to all notices to have vaults emptied or disinfected, weeds cut, garbage receptacle furnished, premises cleared of rubbish, the city will be kept in a clean condition during the heated term, and in point of health the public will be greatly benefited.
