A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Senator Voorhees* personal and political friends here say the rnport that he is a candidate for the nomination for president ia "newspaper talk" and that the senator has never been attacked by the Whit® House fever. Most of the recent gossip about him in connection with the presidency started from the preliminary arrangements for the Jackson day banquet at Indianapolis. Some one found material for national wirepulling in the fact that Governor Matthews was to be present. There are politicians at the state capital who believe the governor is moving straight toward the White House. Then the senator's friends had to bring him for ward as the only favorite son of the Boosier Democracy. The strong prob ability is that while appreciating their loyalty the senator has bad a good laugh over the display of thetr real. One story about the senator is probably true. It is that he is preparing to enter the lecture field. It is an iuviting one t« a man of his platform ability. Moreover he can make considerable money by lecturing.

John Foley, "one of the Foley brothers," is not disturbed in his official position by the upheaval in Chicago. The eye and ear infirmary of which he is superintendent is a state institution and be received his appointment from Governor Altgeld. His report just printed in the- Chicago papers shows that during the past two years

A man engaged in the manufacture of air compressors has furnished a Chicago newspaper with some information as to the iocreased use of compressed air to bear him oat in the statement that it is beginning to enter into the everyday Vork of the world. Among the uses of this power he cites the following which will be of interest here where just now we are talking about asphalt. "Asphalt used for street paving is refined by compressed air. In its original shape, just as it comes from Trinidad, asphalt is too soft for street paving and it is not homogeneous. To refiue it the asphalt is boiled in kettles for three or four days, and while the beat is on it must be constantly stirred. Pipes with numerous holes are placed in the bottom of the kettle, and while the asphalt is boiling compressed air is forced through the pipes, and, escaping through the holes, it agitates the thick, black stuff. At first the air comes to the surface in big bubbles, and the asphalt slobbers all over the Inside of the kettle, but at the end of three days the asphalt has become so thin that the air makes itboil in little bubbles, and it is then drawn off in bar rels, wnere it oools hard and even."

The action of the Trotting association and the Agricultural society in agreeing to pro rate profits and losses next year will insure two high class meetings with less probability of a loss to charge up at the end of the season. For each meeting f60,000 in stakes will be offered. It is also proposed to have a three days' meeting in July with the Fourth the central date. For this meeting there will be purses only and about 110,000 in all, the amount for each race to be $1,000 It is believed that this Fourth of July meeting will be very popular. It is early enough in the season to attract horses from the best stables as they will not have started down the grand circuit by that time. There is a big section of country that can be drawn upon for the crowds as for several years there has been a scarcity of trotting meetings in these middle western states in July.

A petition to the council for the appointment of an inspector of electric lights was circulated in the city this week. One gentleman to whom it was presented told me that he declined to sign it because bvdid not believe money ought to be taken from the public treasury for a service which benefitted less than a majority of the people. He was in favor of an Inspector If the lighting companies and the Insurance companies paid the salary.

There has been nothing funnier than the Hiokman episode since the the time when the police at headquarters innocently and in good faith recorded the complaint from a public gam bling house that some of its paraphernalia had been stolen. In his address of welcome to the Farmers' Insti tute Dr. Hack man referred to the elegantly appointed gambling houses of the city. His r«m *rk was telegraphed abroad whereupon the Express referred to the correspondent as one who, like the dirty bird, befouled bis own neat. The Gazette devoted two columns to a discussion of the reverend gentleman's proposition that the Terre Haute establishments are finer than those in other cities. Neither of these two papers, which have not had a word to say about public gambling, found material for comment in the chief point made by Dr. Hickman. And, to cap the climax, the good doctor wrote a card to publicly acknowledge that he had felt the rebuke.

Thq Ohio street contract affair seems to be a contractors' war. I made some inquiry as to the sentiment among the property owners who will have to pay the bill, and found that as a general

thing they are In ignorance as to the relative merits of the different materials and as to the manner in which the contract was let. They are taking little or no interest in the court case, which is solely a'lawyers' movement, in initiative and proceeding* up to date. They hope the Kentucky asphalt will prove to be all it is claimed to be. If it does, the property owner will be the finanoial gainer. Some of theui were inviied to go to Buffalo and see it, but they fe that they would be but little the wi*er, and a* they would have to pay their own expense bills it would not be worth while. One man said to me that it did not make much difference what action they might take that the conn would nse its own judgment and he would believe until be learned differently that what has been done was the best that could be done. "The truth is tbat the property owners are not excited over the matter—a g-od deal leis so than some outsiders," said he. "You understand tbat these contractors have their lawyers and retainers, and they throw up much dust between them all." This same gentleman said that the Ohio street affair called attention to the need of something in the nature of a business men's or a property owners' association or club which could look into these mat ters and let the interested portion of the community know what's what. For instance, there is a dearth o! trustworthy information as to whether or not the best has been done that could have been done for the Ohio street people. A commercial club would be free from losal politioal influences as well as from the favored contractor influences.

The Rev. Irl Hicks says the disturbing power of Jupiter and Mars will extend over the whole month of January, which m^ans a "marked predisposition to storms." In other words we are to have more stormy weather than the cold which is said to "begin to strengthen when the days^begin to lengthen."

The discussion of the question of re moving State educational institutions to Indianapolis, is on again, this time the proposition affecting directly only the State University. Ex-Pres-ident Jordan and President Swain have thrown their influence in favor of it. There are several reasons why the removal will not be made and as many others why it should not. Foremost of the former is the fact that there will be log-rolling influences against it. These influences will be strengthened by the feeling of opposition to the capital city which exists, with or without cause, throughout the State.

CHRISTMAS WINDOWS.

The Merchants Infected With the Holiday Spirit Outdo all Previous Efforts.

If there was a Scrooge in Terre Haute and he was on the business streets Friday night, Dec. 21st, he was made unhappy by the sight of gleeful children (young and old, for men and women were children again) who crowded the sidewalks in front of the store windows. Santa Claus was everywhere. Never before was there so much Christmas spirit in the people. There was no snow and it was not cold but there was Christmas cheer in the air, just the same. The merchants must have had the spirit of Christmas in their hearts rather than the hope of business profits, else they could not have made their windows so typical of the season. There was too much of good will in all that was done to attribute the displays merely to the sordidness of money making.

The effort to please was noticeable everywhere and in all lines of business On east Main street tCd. Feidler's grocery was more attractive than ever with the display of the good things for the Christmas feast. Hickey A Bresett's grocery was provided with all &at was ap propriate for the holiday of holidays. In Fred Freers' window there was a moving scene from rural life. JTohn Heinl's on Eighth street was filled with people admiring and baying flowers. Louis Adams had a showing of toys and useful presents. At the Oak Hall drug store where all the year there are attrac tions In the windows the people were brought to a standstill. Theodore Stahl's new store room was filled with as fine queensware as ever seen in this oity. In Ermlscb's window there was a teeter-totter show. Baur's drug store was especial headquarters for fine toilet articles whloh were displayed in profnsion A. Z. Foster now has enough window space to give one an idea of what can be found in the spacious rooms in the new Foster* O'Boyle block whloh Is generally commented upon as a decided Improvement to the city. Buntin's corner window, as newly arranged, naught the eye of the thousands who pass the popular corner. A. G. Austin's window had a crowd for several days and Friday night those who could not get near enongh to see the ingenious mechanical toys had to take to the street to pass the store. A. C. Bryoe's windows were beaatifnlly arranged with clothing and gentlemen's furnishing goods. E. R. Wright's big store front was decorated in the evergreens and Christmas delicacies. Big wood's jewelry hoase is best described by sayiog that elegance characterised the windows as well as the contents of the show eases. Ford A Overstreet made the best of the various show windows of .tb^ir complete outfitting store. Finkblner & Duenweg had a suspension bridge and the display Is Ingeniously contrived to use articles in their line of business. J. T. H. Miller's window exhibitions long since became known for surprisingly novel and beautiful effects. This Christmas the artist surpassed himself. It seemed as if all the children In the city went to Hoberg's tbat night to attend the Santa Clans reception and no

I

denbtthe big eyed innocents wllf tell you tbat the Christmas tree was 100 feet tall. Hera'." That is all that is necessary to be said. The one word reminds all Terre Haute of the beauty of the Basar windows. Hera'" is a Terre Haute institution. Havens A Geddes Go.'a has quickly come to ba known as the "Big Store" and those big windows gave the up-to4-date "window dressers" opportunity to di jti-moa to their artistic ideas. Iu Thorman ASahIons'window there waa a winter scene. The house is oovsered with snow, as is the yard, bu«*tbrougb the windows of the home can be seen the evidence of happy and comfortable surroundings. Tbat industrious hen which laid an eg* every mmute in Mannberger A Strouse'-s window has puzzled the people. Hunter A Co.'a windows were a dream of colors, th$ colored globes of the electric lights enhancing the beauty of tba colors in the gentlemen's furnishing goods Willis Wright was delayed in moving into bis new Btorebuthe made up for lost time and the furniture display told of the enterprise of this pushing dealer. In Griffith's windows the dainty and durable were mingled in the assortment of shoes and slippers. Friday evening Mr. Hazeldlne added to the attraction by an exhibition of some of his pigeons. Kleeman's, where always there is a &Ts play of what is best and prettiest in dry goods, was an objective point. Good man it Hirsohler, the stand by clothiers, filled the windows with clothing and gentlemeus' furnishing goods. The crowd in Leeds' jewelry house was only exceeded by the number of people who gazed Into the windows In one of Espenhain A Albrecht'n windows there was an old-time windmill-, which was constantly in operation. Iu the other window holiday dry goods were displayed. Myers Bros, who were the first of Terre Haute merchants to use window space on such occasions maintained their standard of ex cellenoe. At Rossell's the collection of Christmas presents was never larger nor more varied. Frank Fisbeck's furniture store was visited by orowd* day and night. Hammersteln's queensware house gave evidence all week of the fact that it has besn recognized -ftk a leader in the business. C. C. Smith's Sons Co. have been doing a big business in household articles and many housekeepers rejoiced over the receipt of a useful. present from this store. Roy Confare's business was rushing all the week. On Fourth street Wood, Williams A Co. had windows and store filled with furniture and stoves. E. D. Harvey's big furniture store bad a big trade from those who know they can get the best there is at this house Lawrence Heinl at Sixth and Ohio, had flowers and evergreens in profusion. Hunt's display of roses and floral decorations was a great attraction. ,,

Making Furniture Polish.

Here ore twp formulas that are often employed in making furniture polish: Shave very fine 8 ounces of white wax and add to it a gill of turpentine let it stand for 24 hours then cut into shavings half an ounce of hard soap and boil it in a gill of water and add thereto the wax and turpentine. If the furniture is very dirty, let it be oleaned with a little paraffin before applying the polish, as this will materially lighten the labor. Or take of linseed oil 1 gills turpentine, a gill ground loaf sugar, a teaspoonful. Shake well together, rub it on the furniture with a pieoe of flannel and polish with a soft cloth.^

Drying the Hair.

The hair will dry much more quickly after it has been washed if it is rubbed with warm towels than with merely dry ones. As fast as one beoomea damp it should be thrown aside and a fresh, dry, warm one taken. When the hair is moderately dry after this, it should be brushed quite dry with warm brashes. This method imparts a luster to thd hair which nothing else gives.

Keep lemon juioe handy to take stains off the hands. A sickroom that needs cleaning may be made fresh and sweet without sweep ing and without dust by wiping everything, carpet included, with a oloth wrung out of warm water in which there area few drops of ammonia. i(

Clean a brass kettle by.scouring with salt wet with vinegar before ,.nsing tor apple butter or other cooking.

Keep a book in whioh to enter recipes or useful hints on housekeeping. Page and index it for easy reference.

Vinegar and salt will clean the black crust off iron frying pans, but they should be thoroughly scoured afterward with sand soap and dried.

A large rug of linen crash pladld tiiiider the sewing machine \?ill catch threads, clippings and cuttings and save a deal of sweeping and dusting.

A severe paroxysm of coughing may be often arrested by a tablespoonful of glycerin in a wineglass of hot milk.
