ON TIE QUI VIVE.
If the Board of Health would make an example of a few doctors who are instrumental in the spread of oontaglous diseases it) this city, its members wduld receive the cordial support of the public, and perhaps fret* us of some of the dangerous contagions that we have not been freed from for several years. Of course negligent physicians are not altogether to blame for the present state of affairs, but those whose duty it Is to guard the public health should not be parties to the spread of disease. Not long ago a certain physician had a case of diphtheria, and Instead of reporting it to th® proper officials be sent a notice of it to the residence of Dr. Zimmerman, formerly secretary of the oounty board of health, but who has been in Europe for seven or eight months. After some delay the notice was sent to Dr. F. W. Shaley, who has not been connected with the board of health since last May, and he delivered the notice to the proper offioer at once. During this delay there was of course no diphtheria sign on the house, and no one can tell how many persons were exposed to the disease before the sanitary officer arrived and put up the sign. A doctor who doesn't know to whom contagious diseases should be reported, ought to have a little knowledge imparted by way of a vigorous prosecution. Another case Q. V. heard of was that of a certain family that had a diphtheria case in it, but as it was feared that a knowledgeof it would hurt the business certain members were engaged in, the attending physician did not report it, no sign was therefore put up, and as a consequence diphtheria cards have Bince appeared in the neighborhood with a frequency thatbasalmost produced a panic. It this physiofan isn't guilty of criminal carelessness of the worst kind then I'd like to know what the fellow-members of his professisu would call it, if the ethics of their profession will permit them to call it anything. There is no question but that diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, and kindred diseases are spread chiefly by the carelessness of the personsaffected, aud members of their families, and it is absolutely imperative that a stop should be put to this, even if it is necessary that there should be prosecutions. It is more than Impurities arising from digging in the streets, etc.,- that causes diphtheria to be so pervalent. Down in the south part of the county, where there are no sewers, and no street digging, the disease is prevalent in its most malignant form. It is carelessness, pure and simple, that causes its spread here. Visitors are permitted to see the afflicted,and leave the house without disinfection, patients go about the streets when mildly afflloted, visit stores, physicians' offices, etc., and no effort is- made by the many directly interested to prevent its being communicated to others. The Board of Health and sanitary officers are, Q. V. believes, doing all in their power to prevent the disease from gaining: any stronger foothold, but their efforts are of no avail unless the people co-operate with them. Of all the diseases to which children are subject, diphtheria is most to be dreaded, and unless something radical is done to stamp It out, its ravages here this winter will be dreadful. Let there be nouie prosecutions of physicians who r0 jjegllgent, and parents who are careless, sucl Q. V. prophecies that there will bfl fewer de yeloped the next month.
Q. V. has talked with & number Gf business man thU Vfeek, and the majority of thelft »eem to think that a new charter for the city of Terre Haute is a toy we do not need, and cannot afford. The fact that a special charter gives too much absolute power to a few men is the principal fault found with it, aside from the expense. The taxpayers' league of Indianapolis, Is preparing to ask
many
amendments to their oharter,
which they say is sadly defective, and especially so in its provisions regarding street Improvements. Terre Haute'sexperience with a special charter would be like that of other cities,—after a few months' trial, we would be looking for somebody to give us a chance to let go. We bad better "let go" before we get hold.
An effort Is to be made to organize the various local Humane societies in the state as one corporation. As it Is the societies are praotioally without authority to enforoe what few laws there are in the Indiana statutes against inhuman acts. If there were a state corporation it could sue and be sued and would be an answerable and responsible organization. Another object in view is the enactment by the legislature of laws suoh as exist In other states against many specified classes of inhuman treatment of animals.
Two brother* from Illinois, are preparing to start a daily afternoon paper In the city, the first Issue to appear soon after the election. It Is to be Independent in politios and eight pages in site. One of the brothers has had considerable experience as an editor, in Effingham and Shelbyville, Illinois, if I remember rightly. While one la to be at the head of the editorial work the other will be in charge of the business department.

If the Republican tioket lu this particular locality receives aa^any Democratic votes as are oounted upon in other section*in w®ite*p *nd southwestern Indiana there will be a bigger Republican majority than known for many years.

Back in June and July Qui Vive said that as a result of the nse of the militia in the mining and railroad strikes there would be an aotlve opposition toan increased appropriation for the support of the Indiana Legion. At the time I explained how strong this opposition could be without making a noisy demonstration of its strength. It was al9o pointed out that Governor Matthews would be some thousands of votes loser if he agaiu should be before the people ol1 Indiana, because of the part he took in the expeditious use of the militia aud it was suggested that perhaps the haste was due to the zeal of militia high officers for an appropriation. The suggestion came from persons who are of his political faith and bad been among his admirers, and who had been in Indianapolis inquiring into the facts. It will be recalled that when Governor Matthews left this city that Friday night in June, he said he would not order the militia to Shelburn before Monday and not then (unless the local authorities had made a better demonstration than they had already done of their inability to uphold the law. The next morning, early, the militia were ordered out. My information was that the generals and colonels |at Indianapolis were responsible for the change in the governor's purpose, and that their motive was to create a sentiment in favor of the increased appropriation which had been refused at the previous session of the legislature. The Indianapolis papers denied the report and praised the governor for his action, saying that he had greatly enhancedghis popularity. All that I hav written here is to make a story complete. The Indianapolis Journal of yesterday says the legislative council, representing labor unions, has written to each candidate for the legislature asking if he will vole to increase the amount of tke appropriation for the state militia. The Journal adds: "The agitation of this question has caused the friends of the militia much anxiety. Most of the candidates have answered in the negative." Adjutant General Bobbins says he is carefully investigating all new additions to the mllltla because when the troops were ordered out some members of labor unions declined to go to the front. The point is this: a labor union man crfb never be brought to believe that the militia ought to be used In time of a strike, and this is true, even though the labor union man abhors lawlessness. It is a condition, not a theory, that confronts the public man In dealing with this question. I will be much surprised if there is not serious difficulty in securing the money to reimburse the Indianapolis banker!

DIPHTHERIA DEATHS. Wentworth Geddes, the bright little four year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Robert Geddes, died Thursday night of that dread disease, diphtheria. He had beett slok for about a week, and was at one time thought to be Improving, but the little fellow was not able to withstand the ravages of the terrible soourge, and all that loving oare and medloal skill could do for him were in vain. His bright ways and attractive appearance had made him many friends beyond the home cirole, and his untimely death is sincerely mourned by many friends, who grieve with the parents In this losa from their little flock. The funeral was private yesterday, bnt the floral .offerings from sympathizing friends surpassed those of any previous funeral.
Charles Sheldon Nehf, son of Chas. T. Nehf, after an Illness of nine days with diphtheria, died yesterday morning, aged eight years and seven months. He was conscious up to the time of his death, and his brief life went on as peacefully as If he had bnt dropped to sleep. He was a member of the German M. E. Sunday School, where he was very popular. His parents have universal sympathy in their terrible bereavement.

AMUSEMENTS.
THIS BROWNIES.
A hundred or more bright little boys and girls held the stage at Naylor's last night, showing an appreciatiye audience how affairs of state are handled in Brownieiand. They put life and action Into Palmor Cox's famous little fellows, and with
the
assistance of some relatives
from Fairyland, they gave a very enjoyable performance. The movements and groupings formed pretty stage pictures and the mimic actors showed signs of careful training by experienced teachers. The entertainment is given under the auspices of the ladles of the Central Presbyterian church, and will be repeated Hut* evening. "THE 8IIU SHOW." "The Side Show" is the title of a most laughable comedy which will be presented by James B. Mackle (Grlmesey, Me Boy), and his clever company at Naylor's opera house Wednesday, Oct. 31, when fun will reign supreme. It is not often that so versatile a company is gathered together, consisting, as it does, of comedians, singers, dancers, acrobats, gymnasts, equilibrists and wire walkers. The public had so appreciated Mr. Mackie's former efforts to please that be resolved this season to give them a brand new play and a company of artists second to none. "The Side Show" is the result, and it Is said to be the most amusing melange of music, singing, dancing and good-natured fun that has ever been written. The entire scenery, tricks and effeots used in "The Side Show" is carried. One of the bright particular features of this production will be the daily parade of the mammoth rubber automatio heads, with wind calliope, through the streets of the city. The
sale for "The SldeShow" opens
on Monday.
DIPLOMACY.
A splendid production of Sardou's masterpiece, "Diplomacy," will be given at Naylor's on next Saturday night. "Diplomacy" is neither a "gallery" nor even a "pit" play, but one which keeps the attention of both so enchanted that somehow one feels ill-disposed to interrupt the actors even by applause, and it is only after the completion-of the separate acts that the audience turns loose its appreciation and rings up the curtain time after^e. The story of the drama is hinged about the Ill-fated love of a woman—strong, impassionate, vindictive—who, when she sees her lover marry another, destroys their happiness

upon the honor of both. The leading role, of course, is""enacted by Miss Coghlan, whose physical and faoial qualities perfectly suit her for the part of CountesB Zlcka, a woman not exaotly scorned, but nevertheless with the proverbial "fury." Miss Coghlan's voice ie rich, deep and resonant her face can shadow the storms in her breast, or, when conoeallng them, wreaths itself in the smiles of diplomacy and fascination her figure is full, vigorous and majestic, just suoh a one to frame the daring, passionate spirit of Zicka.
Miss Coghlan's support in this great play inoludes Frederic De Belleville as Henry Beauclerc, John T. Sullivan as Julian, J. W. Shannon as Baron Skein (his original character), Cecil M. York as Count Orloft, Miss Maxlne Elliott as Dora, Miss Hattie Russell as the Marquise and Miss Blanche Burton as Lady Henry.
The seat sale opens on next Tuesday, five days In advance, at Buntln's drug store. Prices: Orchestra cirole and loges, fl.50 orchestra and dress oircle, fl.00 first three rows In famil circle, 76c admission to family circle, 50c gallery, 25c.
WALKER WHITESIDE.
One bf the most Important bookings that Manager Hayman has made Is the engagement of Walker Whiteside, the tragedian, for Monday evening, November 6th, which promises to be interesting for several reason*. It will serve to Introduce to the Terre Haute public an actor who has won high praise from those whose business it Is to pass judgment upon the people of the stage, and it will be in a measure an answer to tboee who claim that the Shakesperean drama is dying out for lack of worthy player* to fill the *hoe* of the famous tragedians of the past. Some months ago Mr. Whiteside appeared in New York City, and, although practically unheralded, be suooeeded in winning approbation snob a* is seldom aooorded a new oomer in the eastern metropolis. Tb the eastern critic* it was a genuine •arprlse that "so good a thing" dramatically oould come out of the west.
Mr. Whiteside will ooms to us with ths prestige of New York snooe**, and while Terre Haute 1* apt to think and jndge for itself In matters of this kind, Mr. Whiteside's esstern fame will at leaat insure him a patient bearing. It la worthy of note that he ha* achieved his greatest succee* In plays closely ss•oclated with the career of ths late Edwin Booth, and that critic* elsewhere have with peculiar unanimity oompared his work with thst of the greateet Riakespevean aotor of the day. pg som.

Mrs. Alice Fischer Harcourt has been engaged by Manager Charles Frohman to play the role of Helen Larondie in "The Masqueraders," in the production of that play at the Empire theater, New York City.
Pauline Hall was the first well-known aotreas to adopt the wheel. She took it up as a means to rid herself of rapidly increasing embonpoint. Among the recent converts to bicycling are Georgia Cayvan and Maida Craigen.
Mrs. S.(M. Young, Jr., and Mrs. Rose Hardy, as the Melville Sisters, have made a great bit in "Little Christopher Columbus" at the Garden Theater, New York. They do a sketch entitled "Two Gawky Girls from Indiana," written for them by Sam Young, Jr.r whose ability as a dramatist was emphasized by hi* successful "Zeb."
An eastern manager is to play a company from New York to San Francisco, Cal., for a stated bet of $1,000, the company to travel on bicycles. The play, which is being prepared, is entitled "A Race for Life." A fantastic parade on wheels will be a feature. The company will start May 1st, 1895. The longest jufnp will be one hundred and ten miles.
Manager Hayman treasures veiy highly the personal letter he received from Julia Marlow and the members of her company, complimenting him on the efficient manner in which visiting oompanieB are cared for. They say that, travelling through the country as they do, they do not often feel compelled to write thus to managers. Snch a testimonial to the management of Naylor's opera house is one to be greatly appreciated.
A OOOD SELECTION.
At the recent meeting of the trustees of the ROBO Orphan Home, A. Herz was unanimously elected a trustee to till the vacancy caused by the death of the late Charles M. Warren. The selection of Mr. Herz is an eminently appropriate one, and a recognition of his high Htanding as a citizen and business man. He ,X,S7 has always been identified with all of Terre Haute's leadii enterprises, and^,.'^ his election as a trustee of one of Chauncey Rose's leading benefactions will meet the approval of all who are, inter- :,'r* ested In that worthy institution,_thd Rose Orphan Home.
PROPER PROPORTIONS. Women who are correctly proportioned and neither too fat nor too lean are few in number. It may not be amiss to give some idea of the correct proportion of the features and the body. The head should be one-seventh of the body. The nose, forehead and chin of equal length. The distance between the eyes, the length of the eye. The distance from the inner angle of the eye to the dividing line of the lips should measure from two and one-quarter to two and one-half Inches.
A woman of five feet should weigh 110 pounds. A woman of five feet one inch should weigh 115 pounds.
A woman of five feet two inchesshould weigh 120 pounds. A woman oi five feet three Inches should weigh 127 pounds.
A woman of five feet four inches should weigh 134 pounds. A woman of five feet five inche* should weigh 142 pounds.
A woman of five feet six inches should weigh 146 pounds. A woman of five feet seven inches should weigh 152 pounds.
A woman of five feet eight inches should weigh 160 pounds.
