ON THE QUI VIVE.

The sanitary ordinance is no more, but if it could speak it would probably say,

so soon I'm to be done for, what

was I e'er begun for." After a precarious existence of a few weeks the council knocked it out Tuesday night in one brief round, and by unanimous vote. The real cause of its repeal was the opposition of certain Republican members to the election of Dr. Thompson to the position of sanitary iftspeotor. The Democrats helped defeat the arrangement by which Dr. Pote was to have been given the position, and when the} saw there Was opposition to Thompson, and a disposition to do away with the ordinance to get rid of him, they were smart enough to help do it. There is not likely to be any great tronble over the matter, however, and it is not likely that the ordinance will be called up again, at least for the present. There evidently was no crying need for the ordinance, and if suoh be the case it is well enought it was repealed.

Terre Haule's "bold soger boys," the Uniform Rank drillers, leave to morrow for Washington to enter the lists in the great competitive drill there next week. They have been working so hard the past twt* or three months that if they had been'compelled to do it their knightly souls w®uld have rebelled at the task put upon them. It is to be hoped they will meot with better success than they had at Kansas City two years ago, when they barely escaped being whitewashed. The Kansas City papers, and the Associated Press credited theru, after the drill, and before the award of prizes, with having won a high place in the contest, and Terre Hauteans who saw them drill, and came home before the prizes were announced, were very enthusiastic over their fine work. When the judges awarded the prizes and gave Terre Haute ninth place, there was a great surprise. The members of the drill team wei sadly disappointed, and when they came home bad to put up with avast amount of guying. They are hardened by experience now, however, and if they get no higher than ninth place, they will take their medloine with more resignation than they did then.

After next Monday week, the city will only have oneoity attorney, as the time for which Mr. Foley maintains his term was extended will be at an end. Then we will have a multitude of law suits for salaries. Messrs. Foley, Kennedy and Coordes will bring suit for the money to whloh they claim they are entitled, the city will fight them up to the Supreme court and back, and if they are counting on this money to psy for their winter coal they are likely to be doomed to disappointment, even if successful. In the latter event they can spend it for next summer's ice.

With these suits, and those talked of by the Sixth street property owners against paving out to the street oar tracks, and by the Klnsers on their Ninth street contraot, the city is likely to be deeply engaged in litigation dur ing the coming months. It is said that President Harrison has engaged a number of the leading law firms of this city, and Is going to make a hard light for what he Insists are his rights, It is to be regretted that this matter Is to be litigated, for It costs money to law. The members of the council siem to have made up their minds, however, that the question must be met and settled some time, and it can as welj be met now as any other time. Tht-re are some nice legal points involved, and the fight will be a strong one. If the council wins in the position it has assumed, the members can prepare to hear themselves praised as careful, judicious legislators, but if they lose—well, life will be made unbearable for them.

A fact brought out by the recent di* cussion of this question of the city's liability for the street railway company's pert of the cost, of paving the streets is that the city had already been involved for Main'street, Third, Sixth and the one square on Ninth, and that it is tied up in a contract with Kinser for the remainder of Ninth street. All this was done without sufficient consideration, and la not creditable to those engaged in it.

The bicycle people who are angered by the purpose of the council to restrict them in the use of the public thoroughfares can work np a public sentiment In behalf of the riders of the silent wheels by prevailing upon the lady cyclers to wear bloomer* and knickerbockers. In Chicago and other cities these picturesque oewtumee are seen by the hundreds. Lot the Terre Haute streets affbrd the same display and there will be no one to question the right of way even with the men eyelet®.

The testimony before the strike commission it Chicago waa to the effect that the special deputy Un!t*4 States marthat* employed in that city, whose pay amounted to 1990,000, were a queer lot, Mid added to the disorder by their own disorderly conduct. Most of tboee seen on duty around here and at Bnuril were typical loAferm pot-house political

henchmen. And all of them together did not render any service that might not have been performed as effectually by one sheriff who would conscientiously do his duty _____ 'r*#i

That is a funny arrangement for Sunday ball playing. The police authorities stopped playing in the city, and now that the games are to be played just beyond the city limita it is seriously announced that the police will be present to afford protection, for whom and from whom is not said.

THE WILBER COMPANY.

The Wilber company, who play a week's engagement at the opera house, commencing next Monday night, Is headed by such capable people as Jas. R. MoCann and Lizzie Kendall. Mr. MoCan is a popular and pleasing actor who has played leading business with such companies a« W.

J. Scan ion, Roland

Reed, and Kate Claxton. Miss Kendall is an excellent actress, with a charming personality, and has the magnetism to attract and hold audiences with clever impersonations. She has starred in her own company for several years but last season played "Henrietta" in KateClaxton's "Two Orphans" company. Harry Jackson the comedian, is a well known mirth maker and a great favorite whereever known. Daisy Zublin is a very clever singing and danoing soubrette, and the balance of the people are all versatile and competent actors and actresses. The Wilber company is considered one of the strongest stook companies on the road, and produce recognized successes only. By remaining a week in eaoh city they reduce expenses, so that they are enabled to play at oheap prioes of admission. The following repertoire will be given:* Monday, "Christmas Bells," Tuesday, "Mask of Life," Wednesday, matinee double bill "In Honor Bound," and "The Benedicts," Wednesday night, "Maud Muller," Thursday, "A Mad Marriage" Frl day," Pearl of Savoy," Saturday matinee, "Brady's Boy," Saturday night "Unknown." Entire new musio and specialties will be Introduced eaoh night and the performances will be "up to date" in all respects. Monday night ladies tickets will be free. Secure your seats early, -v

SHORT AND SWEET.

A married man likes his tongue cold, by way of variety. A workman is known by his chips and a barber by his shavings.

Colored waiters are the best. Whatever is said at the table they will be sure to keep dark.

The shell always has the bulge on the oyster, and would win if some one with a knife didn't help the oyster out.

A highly educated Maine girl has just finished shingling her father's office. We'll bet she wore silk stocking*. "Give me the baby to hold, my dear," is the name of anew song. ^on won't hear many married men singing it,

A California man choked himself to death with a tape measure. The Coroner's verdict was that he died by inches. "I had arousing time this morning," saM the small boy whose father hauled him head foremost out of the bed at 6 o'clock?-

*Pardon me!" is what tbt, polite convict said when he ran Into the Governor as he was passing through his corridor In the prison.

A Chicago girl threatens to box the ears of an editor of that city. What a thrill of life this would infuse into the lumber market.

Who Thought alt

Flowers were Blade Just to be Sold.

[Copyright, 18M.]

There is one thing we are spared in large cities, and that is the rule of the autoorat. It is true we may be under the government of large corporation?, but this does not extend to individuals, and whatever may be the weaknesses of those enormous bodies without soujte, they do not at least "sasa back." Among the autocrats' in this village may, first of all, be counted the tioket agent. Ib appearance he is a combination of a monkey and a bear, without the clever look of one or the genial Inclination of the other. His forehead is like the monkey's, his bearded face gives one the impression of the bear, while his little eyes suggest the ferret. At this small station, which is scarcely irscognized on the big railroad maps, he is king. He snubs women and children, refuses to be ordinarily civil, and declines to sell tiokets if he has to put himself to the trouble of getting any ohange altogether he is calculated to cause murderers to grow like weeds, and It would never surprise me to hear that somebody bad attaohed the telegraph wire to his heels and made him hasten for once in his life toward a death by electrocution.

VERY GENIAL YOUNG MAN.

Next to him in the government of humanity comes the postmaster. He Is a genial young man given to eating peppermint candy. There may be people who like the smell of peppermint. I am told that there are. It Is said that it is healthy, but so is witch hazel. And yet one would scarcely like to use that as a personal perfume. Going to the post office is cenduoted a little after this fashion: After you enter you poke your head through a little hole and inquire if there are any letters. Between bites of his candy and extreme efforts on his part to give you whiffs of it, he draws out: "Well—no there ain't no letters for you—you had three this morning, but you might as well take the papers home with you now for they have been piling up for a week, and they're getting in the way." You gaze at him with horror, and ask him how he dared to keep the papers all that time, and he calmly answers: "Well, every time you come in here you said letters, and never mentioned papers, and I thought I'd, like to look at the New York ones." "IS THIS YERK FOB YOU?" WK

wiBh

for a messenger

boy, to whom you would pay double rates If he would swear systematically for an hour. Then you start to go home. Before you are out ot the door, the postmaster oalls you baok aud asks: "Is this yere for you?" You look at it with horror it is a letter you have been expecting for a week. You ask why it wasn't sent up, and his exouse is that there was extra postage on it, and he was waiting until he saw yon about the two cents. That is the sort of postmaster olvii service and local option has produced.

Then comes the druggist. The one thing to be said in his favor is that he is young, and has just opened the shop. One side is given over to soda water I have never seen anybody drink it, and feel sure that its effects are dire and deadly. The other side is occupied by fly paper, and this is so thickly settled that one wonders wher,e all the flies came from that went down the soprano's throat last Sunday, when she sang the solo. Then there are some patent medicines, some tooth brushes, and a few jars, of mysterious powders, that mky have some use in the drug stores,' but which only frighten ofift to look upon them. The only time I have found the shop open was when I went tobuy some lavender water, which he didn't have (meaning the druggist). Since then, when the toothache or earache raged, and medicine was sought, there have been faint little

STONS PASTED ON THE DOOR GTLIIL announcing that the druggist had gone to supper, gone to see the baseball garnet* or else, without giving anV '$i simply letting us know that he wouldn't be back for two hours. Two nights ago quite a large notice decorated the door. The baby had a boll on its forehead, and we had gone to get some salve for It but we knew that there was no chance for this when we read the notice. It was to this effect: "Hare gone to get married won't be back until to-morrow morning."

Then there is the old lady who keeps the thread and needle "shop and sells a few speckled-looking candles as well as a few medicines made of herbs. I am perfectly convinced that If I went into there at 8 o'clock in the rooming, she could tell me what had had for my breakfast. She says she thinks it is

For my part, if I was a young man I would never take up with a girl thafc*was sallow Ton get married to her, and she is siok and whining pretty much ailttie time, and her babies are just as likely to look like niggers. I could sell you some otHhis herb tea, whloh might' do you some good, but you have let it go so loijg tfc«t I don't think it would have any effeot upon you. Good morning, Miss Betty, I hear that you were talking about blue blood yesterday up to Miss Gordon's. You ought to be a judge of it your father was a butcher in the market, but what was it you wanted, Miss Mary

DECEASE HER SPECIALTY,

By this time the unfortunate girl don't know what she wants, has the tea forced on her, goes away and never has a ehance to tell theold gossip that it was he* father that she was out driving with the .night before. This lady combines with the occupation of store keeping the cheerful one of coming in when anybody is dead. As soon as there is a death in the house she closes the store and Appears at the house of mourning, and faobody has as yet been able to drive her out. She takes a rooking ohalr and entertains all callers with stories of the various corpses she has' seen, what they have been laid out in, and what she thought of them. Unhappy men ha've threatened te have her kicked out of the house, but so far I have not heard of one who has succeeded in doing it.

A CHICKEN FINANCIER.

Her most intimate friend suitably enough is the sexton, who devotes his leisure hours to ohicken ralslilg. He is a mild old man, but is so governed by this old woman, who knew him when he was a boy, that he dares not offer a chicken for sale without demanding three times its value. Generally he comes down in price, but always with the4request that nobody will tell Miss AmdUa.Covington—that being the name of 4^e shopkeeper. A little world is a funny one. I think one sees In it bow very ugly are some vloes, and how beautiful are the virtues.

In contrast to these people are lovely,' happy wives and mothers, who spread about their goodness and kindness, and who bring to their pretty country homes many of the |p|

FORLORN LITTLE CHILDREN

froim the hot town that they may have a summer outing and a taste of fresh air. I saw the face of a little girl the other day when she was told that she could pu|l flowers whenever she wanted to. She had never dreamed that this was possible. She thought that all flowers were grown to be sold, and that one ooujMI break off a rose and enjoy its perfu#& wUhout having to pay, in some wriy forlt.was something she had never gre&ified of. She knew the close streets, qhii knew the hot suffocating rooms, she kn^w the .dirt and the roughness, and the picked words and the wicked actions of the great city, but that she could havO*any thing that was sweet and beaul|iui«lpr her very own, was something so strange that her lip quivered, and her e^es filled, with tears, and she didn't know how to express her gratitude. She had known of beatings, not of loving kindness she had known of darkness, but never of sunshine, and she looked around at the healthy, happy children, wJbo lived in the country all the year round, and for once in her life she realized that there was something better than anything that had come to jier, and she was a little envious. 4 THE AUTOCRATS UNBEND.'

But even the autocrats were good to iiar—all except the ticket agent. He shoved her out of the car, and wondered what people wanted with such dirty f^uts. But' the postmaster gave her some peppermint, and Miss Amelia brought fa'er anew calico dress out of the Presbyterian basket, and the sexton gtrre her a little ohicken just for herself, and the druggist let her have a drink of soda water for nothing, and presented h4«J with a piece of licorice. She is now ooenpied in melting it, and selling dtiaks for a pin a drink. Let us hops that the small population will live after imbibing this mixture. One black headed pin has been paid for a drink of it| which could not be swallowed by

The new division, Vigo No. 83, will not go as a division, but quite a number of the members will go with Terre Haute Division, and turn out with it in the grand parade, which takes place on Tueeday next.

Terre Haute Division is in excellent condition, and the members anticipate getting a better position in the prize drill than they were awarded in the Kansas City drill, where they succeeded in carrying off ninth prize. The banner of the division is decorated with streamers showing the prizes won in competitive contests, and that showing the Kansas City prize is blaoK, in mourning for their defeated hopes.

Col. T. J. Griffith, commanding the Seventh regiment, and Lieut. R. P. Davis, adjutant, will accompany the division, although it is not likely that the regiment will participate in the battalion drill. The friends of the division have donated supplies of all kinds towards the messing, and the baggage car will be loaded down with good thing for the week's entertainment. There never before was sncb general interest taken in the division, and there will be universal disappointment if it does not take a good place In the contest
