ON THE QUI VIVE.

The sub-oommittee of nine of the comittee of One Hundred on the charter question has prepared a list of questions 'fy which they desire answers from the tlzeoa of Terre Haute. The following •re the questions, regarding wbioh they desire expressions: 'S. 8hould Terre Haute have anew charter?

If so, should it be modeled on the plan oJthe new charters of Indianapolis, Evan»~ Ville and Ft. Wayne? 8. Should the legislative and executive power of the oity be exercised by the same officer or body ol officers? 4, Should the power of appointing and re novingadministrative officers, If taken from ~J»e common council, be conferred upon the mayor, or upon an executive board?

If an executive board be created, with He power of appointment and removal, of fovr many member* should it consist?

What practical reason can be given why '.11 the administrative departments of the -lty should not be committed to the direct control of one executive board? 7. In the appointment of administrative officer* should competitive examination be adopted? 8. Should the heads, of departments be Selected or appointed?

B. V. Marshall is secretary of the subcommittee, to whom answers may be ^directed. _____

The city council has 6alled a special meeting for next Tuesday night to talk over the charter question, aud an invitation has been extended to all ex-city ^officials to attend the meeting, and participate in the discussion. It is understood that ex-Councilman

Frank F.

Sohmldt has a plau to propose for a charter, which be thinks will be a good substitute for our present laws. It provides ^among other things, for but four councilman, or one to every 10,000 inhabitants, and the election of boards by the ^ople, to have charge of the various dewtments.

If the board of health would prefer complaints, and prosecute them vigorously, against some of the persons who Bro into diphtheria-infected houses, and ihen spread the disease, they would 'have some chance to stop the increase o&ftbat disease. It is said that there are 'Ma cases than at this time last year, but he death this week of two diphtheria |atlentB, calls attention to the fact that he dlhease is more prevalent than

mould be. Almost every day instances ire related of visitors entering houses lere the disease is located, and then ^parting without any effort at dlsln[jction, thus spreading the disease, trbere can be no question but that criminal carelessness of the most pronounced wind has occasioned the spread of liphtheria, and all the eflorts of the oird of health to head it off will be useMs unless an example is made of some If the offenders. It requires a little J.erve, but surely the health board has Toough to venture in this direction. One

Ing Is certain, that if they permit such ["Oss violations of the rules regarding •ntaglous diseases, without making me effort at prosecution they will be imed for not performing their duties.

^The tlpping-up of the earth noticed in is vloiulty early last Wednesday orning, was not caused by an earthake as many persons supposed. When early train on the Logan pulled oat the tin Ion depot It carried a group of rre Haute lawyers bound for Rocklle on legal business. It is» not often at so many eminent legal lights as nt. Davis, S B. Davis, I. N. Pierce, A

Biggins, J. T. Beasley, and S. R. illl leave the city in a body, and ei{ sudden departure caused a tipplng6l the earth. 'Che bids for the Improvement of Ohio eet with asphalt were something in nature of a surprise by their low-

The Warren-Schatf people bid on jnth street $2 32 oer square yard,and Fifth Btreet 12.29 per square yard. Ohio street their bid was $2 19 per uare yard, while J. E. Voorhees A Co. $1.05 per square yard, the other bids !ng: T. W. Kinser fc Son, 12.00, Trinad Asphalt Co., $1.65. The only differbetween the latter bid and that of trhees A Co. was in the curbing, the inldad people bidding 60o per foot

Voorhees A

Co. 60c, The latter bid

Kentuoky asphalt, the other being the Trinidad article. The committee streets and alleys will visit several -ge cities to examine the different rleties of asphalt before awarding the ^tract, If the Kentucky asphalt holds ,* to its guarantee there Is a feeling *jX Voorhees A Co. should be given the fytract on account of being home oon«ore.

Fhe difference between a first-class eet car system and one not so good been plainly demonstrated the past £«k, when the big engine was disabled ke people had grown so accustomed to iiitHjlasa service that it seemed a sure ng that when they wanted to take a "e there was no trouble about It. But lien the ears became Irregular, reseming the old mule servioe, they realised .difference. _______ the offices of the B. F. are re-

Wed from here it cannot be said that city council failed to do its part ard retaining them. The reeolutions roduced by Dr. Young oertainly ex-1

pressed good will and, coming from the olty'a legislative body, voloed the sentiments of the people regarding the proposed removal. Dr. Young made a olever little speeoh in moving the adoption of bis resolutions, and it oertatnly entitles him to the title of the Chaunoey M. Depew of the oounoil/1

Some of the saloon keepers who are taking out their delayed liquor lloenses are making tbe semi-annual payment of $125 under protest, though it is not known what they expect to gala hy protesting.

The school board acted wisely In electing Dr. J. T. Scovell to the position made vacant by Prof. Blatchley's retirement. He is eminently qualified for the duties of the place, and his appointment will give univeral satisfaction.

"Billy" Stout, who retired from the sheriff's office on Monday, Is one of the cleverest men who ever held that office, and he takes with him "down on the farm" the good will of his politioal opponents as well as friends. He has never lost any opportunities to "turn a trick" for his side, but that has always been the policy of the office. John Butler, who sucoeeds him, is the first Republican who has oooupied the sheriff's office In the new court house, and it is the general belief that he will make one of the best officers the county ever had.

Not one person in the city of Terre Haute will believe the story printed in the Indianapolis Sentinel that Prof. W. 8. Blatchley, the new state geologist, bad sold the appointment of state oil inspector to W. H. Berry, of this city. The story Is about on a par with some of the other lies the Sentinel has a reputation for printing when it can do harm to those opposing its political faith Prof, Blatchley is a conscientious, upright gentleman, who would scorn to do what he is chirrged by that paper with doing. He ban more patronage at his disposal than any other state official, but none of it will be disposed of in the way indicated He denies, and Mr. Berry denies, that the latter has been given the coaj oil Inspectorship, but if Mr. Berry should be given the position no better appointment could be made. "Bill" Berry, as every one who knows him well calls him, is a "square" man in ev»ry riesp$Bt and as he was one of Mr. Blatoblav '*a tannest supporters, ft would be eminently fitting that he should be given a position.

T'lere is no question but that great pressure has been broght to bear on Mr. Blatchley to influence the appointment of several men who are candidates for positions at his disposal. The story is told—Q. V. doesn't vouch for its accuracy—that recently one of the hold-over Republican Senators came here to advocate the claims of a'friend in whom he had a special interest. The new geologist declined to make any promises in the matter, whereupon the visitor grew very Indignant, and threatened that if assurances were not given that his man would be appointed be would introduce a bill to abolish the office of state geologist. This caused the Professor to warm up a little himself, and, according to the stiry, he assured the'Senator that under no circumstances could his man have the appointment, not even if the office should be threatened with abolishment a hundred times over. If the story is true, and it comes to V. tolerably straight, it shows that Prof. Blatchley is not made of the stuff that would dispose of his patronage for pelf.

ProT. Blatchley is a quiet, unassuming gentleman, not accustomed to the hubbub »f politics, and the story started on him by the Sentinel will doubtless cause him much worry, and doubtless regrets that he placed himself a position—as every public official does—to be criticised and have his motives impugned and his actions condemned* It really should cause him no trouble, though, If it Is not believed—and nobody believes it.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Money and beauty are tempting baits. Miss Anna Gould is said to have already turned down three prinoes, one oount, one judge and an actor.

Id wicked Fort Wayne M'ss Blanch Hart, after posing for several living pictures lu the nude, has sworn out an affidavit against the photographer for displaying tbe pictures in bis gallery.

According to reoent statistics there are about 2,000 women in this ountry who are practicing medicine. Of these 130 are homoeopathiats. -Most of these medical women are ordinary practitioners. .Mrs. Lease was making one of her political speeches aud becapaeso afftcted with her subject that she cried for thirty'mi mi tea and the managers of the lecture wauted 10 dock her for tbe time lost.

One of the plcasantest wars of "earning money at hom»" ever deviled whs that of a MCaine lad/ wao spanked a neighbor's bad children for a weekly salary. But she turned the moaey over to a church.

No woman is ever distingue who doesn't walk well. Keep the shoulders still and tbe hips quiet. Look up. If the chin is pretty tilt it throw tbe chest out and the stomach in,and, forthesake of femininity, walk quietly.

Two well-known Chicago women, Mrs. William Mida and Mrs. E. E. Egarton, members of tbe woman's auxiliary of the Chicago Hussars, have had the courage to wear tbe divided skirt and ride astride when they daily appear on the boulevard.

The custom of haviug womaa pallbearers at funerals will probably be permanently established generally. There have ceen several of that kind in the last year in Louisville. At a recent funeral the pallbearers were eight young girls, dressed from head to foot in white. The young ladies wore white oapa, gloves, dreajes, and shoes

A unique case has been brought before a Kansas court. A woman sent out in vitations to a party and was compelled, by her husband's failure in business, to cancel the lnvitatioas.

AMUSEMENTS.

FINNiaAN's BALL TO- NIGHT'."

Murray A Mack's comedy, "Finnigan's Ball," attracted a large crowd to Naylor's last evening. The same bill will be repeated to-night, and it is safe to say the theater will be crowded from top to bottom. "Finnigan's Ball" Is a three aot comedy filled with ludiorous situations, calculated to fill two and a half hours with pure wholesome fun, and in this it is abundantly successful. Popular prices of admission prevail viz:, 25c, 35o, 50c and 75. cents.

BLUE JBANS.

The play of "Blue Jeans," which will be seen at Naylor's on next Wednesday evening presents an interesting view of daily life as it ocours in a section of this country, in a manner such as it has never before been 'seen upon the stage. For those who enjoy realism, "Blue Jeans" will not be uninteresting to them, for in Its saw mill scene it reaches tbe very aome of this element in the drama. A man thrown prostrate on the broad side of a pine plank, and that plank being pushed with all the desperation of a maddened brain toward the death dealing teeth of a genuine whirllug steel bucz saw, is not a sight common In all the narratives that might be told in the dramatio history of all the stages in the world. "Blue Jeans" has been given four hundred odd nights in New York, 108 in Chicago, and 73 in Boston, which is a tale of its popularity more tersely told than any extended comments that could be given at this time. The seat sale opens on Monday morning at Button's. ,r \TAMSS J. OORBBTT.

V? *v.

The champion of the world, James J. Corbett, and his excellent company will appear at Naylor's for one night only next Friday evening, Dec. 80th, present ing T. O. Vincent and W. A. Brady's new play "Gentleman Jack." Mr. Oorbett was seen here last year in this play. This season several new features have been added and in Its present shape it Is far more Interesting than before. Mr. Corbett's tour is under the personal direotlon of Wm. A. Brady, who has a number of suooeasful theatrical enterprises to his credit. Oorbett's business everywhere is simply Immense and his engagement here next Friday evening will be no exception to the rule. The seat sale opens on Wednesday morning at Bun tin's. "1492" OOM1K0.

The gorgeous historical extravaganza, "1492," will be presented at Naylor's opera house on Monday evening, Deo. 3d, by Rice's Surprise Party, an organisation which Includes nearly one hundred people. The oompany oarry their own orchestra, and not one "oar load"

of scenery but two. "1492" is a great big, fine production, wonderfully pleasing to all sorts of people, and Manager Hayman is to be commended in securing such an attraction for our theater goers. The "3. R. O." sign will oertainly be hung out for this show.

1HL NEW OFFICIALS' DEPU1IES. County Treasurer-elect W. T. Sandford, who does not take his office until next August, has announced bis deputies as John C. Freund and Wm. R. Maxwell. Mr. Freuud is a member of tbe grocery firm ot Bergherm ft Freund, a young man of splendid business qualifications, and a representative German. W. K. Maxwell is from Plerson township, where be has long been known as one of the most active of Republican workers. Both men -are well qualified for the positions, rendering the appointments creditable to Mr. Sandford.

Auditor-elect James Souies has also auuouuced his deputies, Chas. F. Wood, tbe well-known traveling man for Elliott A Smith, and Samuel E. Gray, of Lost Creek township. "Cap" Wood, as he is better known, is a son of tbe late Max Wood, and is one of tbe most prominent of the younger Republicans, while "Sam" Gray is a successful merchant at Glenn, just east of the city, and has long been identified with politics in that township. The new auditor does not take his plaoe until next March, but he is sure of having two good assistants when be assumes its duties.

Dr. A. T. Payne took bis offloe last Saturday, and on Monday was oalled on to hold his first inquest on T. C. Samsel, the switchman killed near the tool work*. He has appointed as deputy Dr. T. C. Stunkard, who will make as olever an offloial as his efficient chief.

THA NKSQ1VIJN O S&'R VICES. The

Bingle

union Thanksgiving ser

vice will be dispensed with this year, and in its stead sermons will be preached at several different churches in tbe hope of attracting a larger atttendance than could be secured at one churoh. These sermons will be preached as follows:

Congregational church, by Rev, J. S. Holmes. Asbury church, by Rev. A. J. Alexander.

United Brethren church, by Rev. C. B. Stanfortb, of Montrose. Baptist Tabernacle, by Rev. J. S. Hoagland, of Maple avenue. ^Thc^services ^e^h^bnrch ^uAWwgln

There will be a special Thanksgiving service at the German M. E. church tomorrow night. The pastor, Rev. F. A. Hamp, will give an illustrated lecture, showing agricultural statistics of Vigo oounty, tbe State of Indiana, and the oountry at. large, including also our exports and imports. There will be a special musical programme by the male choir, mixed chorus, and an orohestra of twenty-six pieces.

MEN WHO LECTURE.

Dr. Talmage gets more straight money for his leotures than is paid to any other platform man to-day. He gets never less than $500 for a single lecture and often he gets $1,000.

Bub Ingersoll is oonfident of his own popularity and always willing to hire a hall or to play on shares. Very few lecturers aro willing to do that. It is safe to say that Mr. Ingersoll seldom gets less than $500 from a lecture, and that he frequently gets a great deal more.

Dr. McGlynn is a very popular speaker and he gets $150 every time he goes on the platform. Rev. Thomas Dixon, the sensational New York divine, receives $125 for every night he lectures. Dr. Lyman Abbott makes about as much. Rev. Joseph Cook receives from $100 to $125. Dr. Parkburst, it is said, will be in the lecture field this winter, and if the Lexow committee continues in session he ought to find lecturing profitable.

Tom Reed, of Maine, sometimes leotures before schools. William L. Wilson, of West Virginia, delivers lectures on tbe publio platform. W.* C. P. Breckinridge, of Kentuoky, is an occasional lecturer. There was at one time quite a demand for the "silver-tongued," but it has died out. Congressman Harter, of Ohio, is a regularly listed lecturer, and he and Ex-Congressman Horr, of Michigan, deliver a stereotyped "tariff debate" for $150. They oould not get 160 cents for it in Washington. There Is too much free debating of the tariff there.

PHILOSOPHY.

¥hie sun can't shine through a torpld liver. A woman's love Is as blind as It is beantlful.

In tbe eyes of a mule short ears are a deformity. When you have nothing to say don't try to say it.

Be careful of your actions, for they reveal your character, The honest man puts lbe smallest apples at the tep of the barrel.

A ooral ring at 7 yean gives more pleasure than a diamond at 17,

In,love woman has deceit conceit. ,/J j&kLJ:
