A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.,

Sji-MAN ABOUT TOWN. Ifpl^ .... "-5 In a pamphlet report of the quarter-^ centennial celebration of the Firat Congregational church in 1859, there are two or three paragraph** which are peculiarly interesting now after thirty live years.

Col. Nelson was the presiding officer, of tbe meeting .«d could

more like what might be expected of him to day than his introduction of Col. McLtfnn hn "a modest lawyer,

An attempt will be made to remitter

Co. B. into the service next week.

The Buntin thermometer did not register as low as zero last winter until January 24th, when it was two degrees below at 7 a. m. The next day it was 6 6 10 below. The next day it jumped to 30 above. Prior to these two days it was almost uniform at 30 above as it was the remainder of the month. Tbe coldest day in February was the 21st, when it was 6 above and on the 24lb it got down to 9 above. The average wat about 27 and on tbe whole it was not so cold a a month as January, although in tbe latter month there were several days when tbe 2 p. m. reading was above 60, higher than any day in February. The winter of 1893-4 was the colder of the two win-

ters and tbe low temperature was after

December was much like last month, perhaps a little colder on the average. The coldest day was on December 1st when it was 8 above. On tbe 3rd of January it was 1 above, and on tbe 6th 1 below, on the 10th 3 below, on the 15th 12 below, the 16th 3 below, the 17th 6 below, and tbe 18th 4 below. On no other day was it below 15 above. In February it was below zero but one day —the 7th—when it was 2 below. The remainder of tbe month it remained almost stationary at between 25 and 35 above. For more than a week in the middle of the month it was either 26, 27 or 28 at 7 o'clock in tbe morning.

Tbe price of ad mission to the races in July will be 50 cents, but to the meetings in August and October it will be $1 as heretofore. No gambling privileges will be sold for the July meeting. It is probable there will be an agricultural fair in October after the race meeting.

The A. R. U. headquarters are now located here and the clerical force is busy. Before Eugene Debs left for tbe northern cities, in which he is delivering addresses prior to his appearance in tbe U. S. court next Tuesday, he said the reports show a large growth in member* ship. The president of the A. R. U. receives a heavy mail and from all parts of the country and all manner of people. A fe«v days ago a letter eame to him on the envelope of which was this address and nothing more: "President Debs, A. R. U."

The trustees of Rose Dispensary will not give a lease for any of the rooms in the new building until they know when tbey can give possession to tbe tenants. If the work of completing tbe interior can be expedited it is hoped to be able to occupy the building by the first of May. It has about been decided to have four store rooms on the Cherry street side instead of two on Sevebth street. There will be eighteen office rooms on the three floors above and a hall on the fifth story. The hall will be a large one and under the lower part of the roof there will beante-rooms. There are two applicants for the hall No. 86 of the Masons and the Jackson club.

The committee which is investigating the city charter matter will not be ready to report to the committee of one hundred for sometime yet. The Ft. Wayne people want some changes in their charter and have asked for a conference with Terre Haute's oommittee to the end that the two cities may work together before the legislature. A well-known lawyer who received ono of the committee's circulars asking for an expression of opinion replied to the question as to bis belief in the one man power saying that he favored it because one man was easierflx^d than two or more. jW

This is In accordance with Colonel McLean's resolution passed by the legislature at its last session. Senator Turpie will deliver a speech In favor of the canal. Tbe oolonel says the repreeen la-

One memher is to be from the engineer corps of the army, two are to b» oitiaens of Indiana and the other two are to be selfoted an the president may see fit. The distance from the lake to the nearest point on the Wabash is seventy miles. Of course the Wabash would have to be made navigable, "The only thing the Wabash ne«ds to make it navigable," said Colonel YloLeau laugh ing, 'Ms watar." This, juanbh to be de

The new door is arranged so that the approaching oar springs it open and again closes it after passing through. Commeskey, through his loug experience as a miner, as president of the United Mine Workers and as mine inspector. is thoroughly conversant with the subjeot. He is, moreover, a man of exceptional intelligence and is a good conversationalist. It is not known who will be his successor, but the probability it that Mr Griffith, of Sullivan county, will be appointed. He is a miner of long experience and has been a bard and effective fighter in the Republican ranks.

The southwestern railroad project is not in a much better shape than it ever has been. There are two companies and

on the Illinois side of the

there. In Illinois the constitution

prohibits the granting of subsidies voting money out of the public treasury. When tbe gentlemen representing one of these routfls were here a week ago they were told that if "they would build from the west side of tbe Wabash river to Mt. Vernon the' construction of the Terre Haute division and tbe bridge 'would be cared for at this end of tbe line. This implies an outlay of $200,000, and it is expected to get considerable of the amount voted by the townships in this and Sullivan county, through which the road would pass.

They say the Rev. Dr. Leech war very severe in his comments last Sunday on the preacher or preachers who say things to the discredit of the city. Such preachers, by the way, are like tbe newspapers which are assailed whenever tbey expose an evil. It has come to be a habit to seek to belittle an exposure by saying it is all newspaper talk. That is what United States District Attorney Burk said when he was asked if he would briug to the attention of the grand jury tbe charge that attempts bad been made to bribe Congressman Bynum in the matter of tbe appointment of a surveyor of tbe port at Indianapolis. True, it was "newspaper talk" but it wa9 Bynum who was doing tbe talking. So it is that the defenders or apologists for anything exposed by a newspaper seek to make it appear that the newspaper is the offender when all it has done is to call attention to tbe real offense. Then, as with the preacher, tbe motive of the newspaper is called into question. I have often been amused by this manner of comment when made by a person interested in doing or shielding something his honest judgment held to be wrong, but which was innring to his benefit, financially or otherwise.

R. W. Thornpsmrr was present aud talked with his accustomed vigor. He was present at the quariercentenntal oalobration thirty five years ago, as were Col. MuXteap and Judge Mack. Altogether t«be sixtieth anniversary celebration was an interesting and noteworthy event,

Bad as it was for the community to have a man holding the position of prlnoipal of the High school who admitted to such acts a* did Prof. Wyeth before the school board, offering a flimsy explanation for what he had no Shadow of right to do even if he did it with pure motives, it was worse that much of the filthy details got into print. No doubt thoughts were conveyed to thousands of minds that never before Entertained them. The Gazette of Thbrday contained what has rarely if ever been between the column rules of a daily newspaper. Yet, so prejudiced are some per sous that I heard of people who were so "mad at" tbeExpredS for telling about Wyeth that tbe^ denounced the paper for its report on the adore of indecency although it was far less offensive than that of the Gazette, and they upheld the evening paper even in admitting the slime into its columns*

The latest perversion of tbe serious situation in the Wyeth, matter is that it was nothing more than a conspiracy to get him out of the place to let another in. Whatever truth there is in the assertion that the place was wanted for another, the fact remains, that Wyeth admissions to the sobool board were sufficient to oause bis immediate removal, and I believe I speak advisedly when I say that not a member of the school board would stand before a public audience and say otherwise after a full read ing of the testimony with the statements made by Wyeth and his attorney." The truth is, the public has not' been given the real import of the testimony, not denied by the defense, and it cannot be given to the public. The gist of the situation is this: Tbe board and profeeoution met to hear evidence of a crime in law, and when only immoral acts had been testified to, the board, in tbe hour of failure to prove the crime, voted for

Aoneration, a verdiot all the more easy return because tbe jury bad been labored with before tbe meeting held. I find in a dispatch sent out from the Gazette office, and by the Assocjgg^ Press, the statement that tbe sensational charges were "not entirely justified." That's it exactly but things were proved that were not in the charges, and they were bad enough.

Lawyer Tom Harper was matjie a "colonel" by newspapers away from home long ago, but it remained for the Chicago Associated Press man to elevate him to the bench in the report of the proceedings in the A. R. U. conspiracy cases in Chicago yesterday. It is Judge Harper now.

Senator Yoorbees is not coming to Indianapolis to attend the St. Jackson banquet next Tuesday. He doesn't be lieve that his political preferment in the future is likely to be Interfered witb by any boom Governor Mattbews or Minister Gray may set going on this occasion. The probability is the senator is willing that these two party leaders may receive all that his party will be able to confer in the next half dozen years. For himself he prefers tbe certainty of a remunerative lecture engagement after tbe expiration of his term in tbe'senate.

The Rev. Dr. Hyde obtained many of the faots for his history of Congregationalism in Indiana, which be read at tbe First Congregational church last Sunday, from a pamphlet in the Congregaonal library at Boston. This pamphlet, which is yellow with age, oontains the reports of the early missionaries of tbe old Connecticut Missionary Society, which was the forerunner of the American Home Missionary Society, and which was a produot of the Congregational church of New England. Those pioneers of Christianity in the west traveled through these western states, beginning in 1802, and in the reperta are many quaint descriptions of life in the then frontier ooantry. One who made Ft. Harrison his headquarters in 1812 or 1814 writes that be was in Terre Haute on Sanday, and that the town was "still," the eonneotlon of ideas In tbe letter being that this was unusual. The first Congregational church was not "planted" by these missionaries, however, but by M» A. Jewett as an Independent organisation. Dr. Hyde com men ting on the fact that the PresbyterIan denomination captured nearly all of the churches established by the Con

Spartan Training.

Perhaps the children who are not "coddled" are happiest as well as hardiest In tbe end. At least thosft who have their share of sympathy and affection, while learning at the some time to scout at fear, are surely fortunate.

A young man who rode horseback to perfection was asked when and how he learned. "Oh," said he carelessly, "when I was a little fellow, my father put me on a horse and tqld me how to ride. I was afraid and slid off, but every time I touched the ground bo cuffed me and set me on again. Bo I found it cheaper learn."

A certain stern Greenlander, when the breakers were riding highest over the rocks, would place his young son in a kayak and throw him into tbe surf. The little fellow, with the double paddle in his hand, would watch bis opportunity, right himself as he descended, and then triumphantly paddle through the boiling sea to the little haven where tbe canoes land. "You will drown your boyl" people used to say to this Spartan father, but tbe sage hunter of seals and whales would reply: "If the boy cannot right a kayak In a stormy sea, he cannot kill a seal, and if he cannot kill a seal he cannot live in Greenland, and in that case he might as well dlel"—Youth's Companion.

DRUGGISTS MUST HAVEgOOD:NOSES.

Mintouri Pharmacists Preparing to Have a Smelling Contest. In Missouri druggists are preparing to hold a big smelling contest at the annual meeting of tbe State Pharmaceutical association iiext spring. That pill roller who can name the greatest number of drugs just by smelling of them Will parry off a onsh prize of $50. It will probably bo the first contest of tbe sort ever held, though druggists have always recognized the value of a well trained piroboBcis in determining tbe nature of chemicals.

Qhicago pharmacists are both inter estfid and amused over the prospects for a smelling contest. There are few drugs, flora cm or, rare, that are absolutely odorless, aud the test of smell is a rec:qgnizod one among all pharmacists. "A druggiBt must have a gondnose," said one. "The odor of drugs i. purt ol the test in all pharmacoutioal colleges. A druggist will test drugs first by bis nose, thou by sight, then by taste. Then he will experiment in cbeuiiciil reactions, A great many rave drag?, like cumarin, can be determined by odor. Cum aria is derived from the tonka bean and has its distinctive odpr.. Other drugs, like carbolic acid in cyyj^ tals, are easily distinguished. Even substances like oxalic acid, by setting up a characteristic irritation in the nostrils, may be determined. Sodium hyposulphite has a faint smell discernible by the educated nose, and nitrate of silver has a faint but distinctive smelL The oyanide salts have an otjor like peach or cherry stones tHe prussio acjd smells. All the salts of acetic acid are easily determined, arfd iodine and bromine salts have also their distinctive odors. On the other hand, t^e sodium salts are hard to distinguish Hydrastine has no smell,j aud you cannot distinguish tho sajtts of meroury by its smell. As for t»ho tinctures, they aro more easily distinguished by odor than the salts. Nearly all of them have a deoided smell. ^Fake arnica, camphor, peppermint, caVdamon, even a layman oan distinguisiiil' them by their odors."

Druggist D.' R. Dycheri8ay8:S '"It is rather a comical idea—that of a smelling content. J?tobably the pharmacists in Missouri h&ve better noses than we have here in Chicago. This lake air is not beneficial. You could probably run up a list of 20Q "or 8Q0::chemicals that could be determined't)y smell alone. Take common #gs like angelica root, benzoin, rose,leaves, even opium, sassafras, annia, peppermint, cherry bark, spearmint and the maqy of the aromatic oil's and fluid extracts like thyme or buohu or senna—any one not an expert can easily determine them. If taste and smell could bbth be employed, an enormously big list could be prepared."— Chicago Tribune.
