ON THE QUI VIVE.

Tbe injunction suit against the school board has not been decided finally as yet, the trusteos by their attorneys rep resenting first that they were not ready for a final hearing, and later Mr. Boland made an affidavit that they could not get a fair and impartial trial before Judge McNutt, on account of his bias and prejudice. It seems a little strange that servants of tbe good people of Terre Haute, who are paid out of the funds collected from the peaple, who are hired to manage tbe affairs of the people, should take the good money of these same people and hire ei la^ cer* to help keep the taxpayers from kuuwing what their &ervams are doing. Thi* seems to Q. V. the climax of "gall Here is a set of public officers who draw out of the public treasury—out of the people's pockets—many thousands of dollars each year ol which they expend such sums as they see fit, without interference and without question, and yet these same officers resist by every process known to law any attempt to make publio any record of their meetings, except what they see tit themselves to announce. It may be all right, but it looks all wroug.

Some very wise men of this generation have frequently raised the question as to whether or not higher education pays—that is do the benefits arising from the higher education in mechanics, art, science, etc., pay in the improve ment of the human iace in proportion to what it costs in money or time. If some of tbese wise men had been seated in the neighborhood of the Polytechnic boys at tbe circus Thursday night they would have agreed positively that higher education in one instance at least was a dull, dismal failure—for any schooling that falls short of teaching our boys to behave like gentlemen is certainly a fai ure Tbe toughest "terrier" on Gallatin street, would have been ashamed to behave on a public occasion like tbese young gentlemen behaved. Marching In lockstep they pushed everybody away from the exhibit they wanted to see, anl they gave their college yell on every possible occasion with an energy tbat if applied to tbeir studies would turn more. Edisons out of the R. P. I thau tbe catalogue could accommodate. The performers and passera by were greeted with derisive yells, and from the way they shouted "Beer, beer, Terre Haute beer," one could reasonably believe that beer waa one of their chlefest studies. One of tbe necessary evils accompanying the location of a school for young men

any city, is the having to

put up with a lot of wild Indian maneu vres by the young men whenever they appear in publio In any number.*. If any cumber of Terre Haute boys would get together, and raise the rows .the Poly's have raised time and again their parents would be bankrupt paying fines. It's all right for "boys to be boys," but it isn't necessary for them to act like hoodlums. It wouldn't be a bad idea for the faculty of the Poly to add anew text book to the curriculum, one entitled, "How to Behave like Young Gentlemen when in Public."

At least the otder for the removal cannot be carried out for two years yet. Therefore the alarm of tome persons is unwarranted. Pet haps the funniest "acare" was that over the prospective loss of several letter carriers by reason of the loss of postage on the Firemen's Msgsxine which is mailed f.*om here. The only person is be affected by any such fel'ing off in postage 1« the postmaster.

Judge McNutt has decHed the city attorney's case of Mr, Foley, In favor nf the latter and In passing on the case expressed the opinion that tbe council had done wrong in abolishing the city attorney's offioe in order to get rid of Mr. Foley. This is in line with Q. V.'s interview with a

well-known

attorney some time ago.

The Jndge decided the Ooondee case in favor of the city, so that honors are easy. Both cases will be appealed to the Supreme court, and if both cases are upheld the city will be winner in the long run, as the fire chief's case is similar to that of the street commissioner.

papered and otherwise improved until they preseut an attractive appearanoe. The next improvement contemplated is a remodeling of the council chamber, whereby the acoustic properties will be increased, and a more satisfactory seatiug arrangement effeoted. Next spring it is the intention to repaint the entire exterior of tbe building, put cement walks around it, and establish a grass plat between the property line and the building proper. When this is done the oltizens will have a city hall to which they can point with pride rather than with disgust, as has been the case for many years.

THE Viae FAIR.

Tbe pro^peots are lettering for a successful fair next week. It comes at a season of the year when the weather is pleasant, and when people generally will find it convenient to att9nd. The price of admission hi*s been fixed at twenty-five oents, whioh is within the reach of all. There will be no charge for vehicles. On Wednesday, the public SJhoola will be dismissed, and a special programme will ue arranged for the little folks, including a balloon ascension. An interesting speed programme has been prepared, as follows:

The entries this week have been qu.'te liberal, and the indications are tbat by Monday evening the Fine Art Hall, which is always the chief attraction, will contain as varied and good a dlsp'ay of fancy work as has been offered here for a number of years. Entries will ba received at the secretary's office on the grounds all day Monday, and exhibitors are requested to get their displays in position as early us possible. This is the first time the people of Terre Haute and Vigo, county have been offered a good fair for so small a sum of money. For several years there has been aery against high priced admissions to the races, and this has been offered as the reason for small attendance. There can be no such excuse next week. The price is within tbe reach of a'l, and all are cordially invited to attend. *v*"1

THE LOST PARADISES.

The popular actor, William Moiris, wi'l nirtke bia first appearance as a star

That "The Lost Paradise" has been such a great success is due also to the inimitable acting with wbicb the wellknown players who are seen in this play have endowed the various parts. They are all admirably cast, with Miss Etta Hawkins as "Cinders," her original character.

It is said of Mr. Morris that be has one of tbe finest voices ou tbe American stage. This, coupled with his handsome presence and fine acting, should be sufficient to crowd Naylor's Opera House next Wednesday evening.

The advance sale of seats will open Monday moioingat Buntin'sdrugstore. LAND OF THE MIDNIGHT SUN.

A. Y. Pearson's nuperb production of the romantic drama, "Tbe Lmd of the Midnight Sun," will he presented at Naylor's on next Saturday afternoon and everting, October 6tb.

Manager Hayman will invite tbe president of every labor organization in tbia city to witness tbe "Lost Paradise" performance next week. The play does not pretend to offer a solution of tbe labor question, but it treats of many of its phases in an interesting manner.

SOME POINTS ON ADVERTISING. The value of a display ad, like tbat of a suit of clothes—or a ben—depends a good deal on the set of it.

The customers attracted to tbe store of a merchant who keeps an'ad running usually keep him running.

Tbe man who never reads the advertisements in the paper doesn't read tbe editorial or newtMXiatter either.

As even the best goods cannot advertise themselves until they are sold, they should themselves first be advertised In order to insure tbeir sale.

The amount of $300,202.57 of paid advertising was carried in Tbe Ladies7 Home Journal in its twelve issues ending with tbe August number.

lu Terre Haute at Naylor's Opera House next Wedresday evening, October 3d, la that preat play, "The List Paradise." Mr. Moiris has perhaps been prominently identified with more sucerssful metropolitan productions duiing tbe.j last five years than any leading man in America. His creations during his conneciiou with Mr Frohmanaresiill fresh in the minds of theater goers* prominent among which was tbe role of Wll'iam Pre-ott, in "Men and Women" Lieutenant Hawkeswortb, in "The Girl I Left Behind Mo," and as Reuben WHrnerin"The Lost Paradise." Mr. Morri» has played tbe latter part over six. hundred times, achieving unbounded. SUCCfSS. "The Lost Paradise5' is a remarkably strong play. The author has bandied the labor question earnestly, but Inoffensively, merely showing the glaring mistakes which are often made on both s'des. A vein of charming pathos ripples gently over every other line, Intermingling with a delicious strain of sparkling comedy.
