ON THE QUI VIVE.

A writer in tbe Gazette, "R. F. H., to Q. V. unknown, tries to take issue with Q. V's endorsement or the utterance to the effect that a parent has no business to inform his ten-year.old children about the "mysteries of creation." F. cannot possibly have an argunient with

V. about the obligations of a parent to his children. What, he (or iihe) says 'i in the Gazette communlcatiorfisoincides

so thoroughly with Q. V's Views of a parent's duties, that be endorses them cordially, with the exception that he does not believe that such instructions should begin at such an early age. Na ture has kindly furnished a milestone, with boys and girls, when such advice can be"given with advantage, and the parent who neglects to give such advice i&gnilty almost of a criminal act. No slr-ree, R. F. H. can have no argument with Qui Vive on this point, and he heartily endorses tbe sentiment: "Teach your ohildren as they should be taught and you will have no sexual perverts."

-There have been more inquiries in the past few days than were ever before heard of, regarding tourist rates to Callfornia, Florida and other winter resorts. They have been made by young men about town, who have been uneasy ever since a suit was filed in the Cirouit court by a well-known woman of the town against tbe keeper of a certain resort, for an accounting of certain moneys turned over to the latter during a term of years past. The suit is set for hearing on the 18th inst., and it rectaias to be seen what ac tion a Vigo county court will take with an actien to enforce an immoral contract, and what the bar association will do with a lawyer who will bring such a suit.

*The Wat-fife iti progress between the Biegler attd Slaughter factions of the local militia, Co. B., shows what an advantage it Is to have an organ on which one can play his tunes at all times, da or night. ________

Senator Voorhees' prestige may have partially departed, but we have another "Tall Sycamore" to take his place, in the person of Charles Daffln, the well known traveling man. Mr. Duffin responded to the toast "The Drummer in Politics" at the Jackson club banquet at Indianapolis Tuesday nistht,.wl\en he demonstrate beyond doubt that the commercial traveller is an outgrowth of Democracy. Mr. Duffin made a hit when he declared that hem common with Democracy is "not in favor of allowing the poor man's children to go without shoes, that the rich may wear kid gloves." Mr. Duffin struck a popular chord in this declaration, and Q. V. is right with him. Evils on the poor man who would let his own children go barefooted that some rich man's chll dren might wear kid gloves. Common cloth gloves are good enough for any man's children. Then, besides, what's the matter with mittens?

One of the seemingly interminable cases of the Han ford Fork and Tool com pany, was on trial before Judge Taylor this week, in the suit brought against Wllliard Kidder, at one time president of that company tor a sum of money, some $2,000, that was turned over to tbe company by a Philadelphia company, that

used by Mr. Kidder in meeting

the payrolls of the employes. Tbe company, however, cannot be recovered from, and tbe Philadelphia companys therefore sued Mr. Kidder personally and got judgment. The case has been appealed to the Supreme court.

The Sand ford Fork and Tool Co. case, involving some 160,000 or $05,000 is now in tbe United States Supreme court, where it was appealed from Judge Woods. Gus, Conssman, cashier of the Vigo County Bank, is receiver of the old company, and as such has had oharge of the $60,000 since he sold the plant in 1890 to I. H. C. Royse, as representative of the syndicate that organized the Terre Haute Shovel and Tool Co. It is expected that a decision in tbe case will be reached in April next. The custody of $00,000 for five years is a responsibility that every person is not able to assume, and there will be a handsome allowance made to Mr. Conzman when final adjudication of the matter is had. There Is no cleverer person in town than Gus. I Con*maia, and Q. V. congratulates him in advance on any good luck that may come to him as a result of the faithful discharge of bis duties in this matter

light oompanies. Of course there's bound to be war to the knife, but the "dear people" don't figure half as much as we might be led to believe under ordinary olioumstances. Eaoh company is working for its own interests, and its own interests alone.

iABOUT WOMEN.

One Georgia girl has refused to marry an English lord because he called the marriage altrr a marriage halter.

Mrs. Burton Harrison is said to have reoeived IK cents a word for her "Bachelor Maid." And the story oonslsta of 60,000 words. »c.

Tbe queen of the Belgians is a olever conjuror, and the king never reaobes for his hat without a suspicious fear that she may have got a globe of gold fish hidden away in it.

Women who pose as professors of palmistry in this country will be glad that they are not residents of England, where a woman has recently been convioted for such a performance. The oonviction was under an old^ statute as "a rogue and vagabond."

The late Miss Emily Gerry, who died recently, was tbe daughter of Elbridge Gerry, signer of the declaration of independence, governor, vice president, and from whose name the word "gerryman7" der" was made, and was 93 years old, having been born when her father was 57. :.

Mrs. Colin Manning, daughter of Chief Justice Fuller, who studied music for seven years in Germany with the best masters,

about to become a pro

Ex Queen Lilioukalani is said to havo a most overweening bump of egotism. She is especially interested in what the newspapers say about her, and there is a press-clipping bureau In this country that sends to her address in Honolulu everything that is printed in the press of the United States concerning herself and her lost cause.

Miss Virginia Fair, the Obly un dwD^fi^St^lie ^e eix-Senator Fair, who died the other day in California, and whose millions are being contested, is one of the most attractive girls in the swell set. She wears very handsome gowns—in fact, she and her handsome sister, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, are two of the best dressed women in society. She speaks French and Spanish fluently, and is very charitable.

After filling three more engagements Mrs. Mary A. Livermore is to partly re tire from the lecture platform and from public life. This means the end of an active public career, that has lasted more than thirty' years. Mrs. Livermore had an attack of the grip last winter, and she has never felt quite well since. Another reason for her retirement is that she is at work on a book that must be completed by spring.

Mrs. Lease, who is to settle down on a farm at Fresno, Cal., as soon as her term of office expires, speaks thus on the woman question: "1 think our emancipation is merely a question of time, but I will candidly ndmit that woman are not prepared for it. Women are cruel to men, are they not? Men are more just to women than women are to each other. We have many things to learn before we are fit to exercise the full right of the suffrage."

THE ELECTRIC POLE WAR.

A Week of Incidents of Pole Catting, Court Retraining Orders and Assault and Battery.

The new elMtric light company has been meeting with a good deal of unpleasant opposition in erecting its poles for the wires and lamps so as to be ready to begin lighting tbe streets next month when tbe contract goes into eflect. Em ployes of tbe old company cut down several poles which they claimed Were interfering with theirs which are yet in use. President Harrison of the uew company went before Judge Taylor and got a temporary restraining order. Supt. Eilis of the old company has written a card for the dally papers and President Harrison has furnished an interview. Each oontends that the other is wzong and such terms as "high banded" are called Into use to give adequate expression to their feelings. Following this episode W. W. Cliver, the grocery man, tried to prevent the erection of a pole in front of the place at Fifth and Mu berry. He turned tbe hose on tbe workmen, and after the pole bad been erected a Colored man nam«d Hughes out it down, aupposably Cllver's instigation. Then Harry Cliver, a brother, stood in the post bole to prevent the workmen erecting another pole «nd was "yanked" out of the place. He struck Harry Early and Harry Early struck him. W. W. and Harry Cliver have both been in the justice's court on a charge of assault and battery and have also been restrained by the Circuit court from further interference with tbe workmen. And more's to follow, for the men who were assaulted with thestream of water from the hose are severally to bring suit for damages.

Rossell, of The Fair, Miss Emma Ward, of St. Mary's, was tbe lucky winner. Her guess was 12,793, no otber guess being as close to tbe actual number. Some of tbe gde^sers were wide of the mark, and if they bad been gnessing for the earth they wouldn't have won a grain of sand.

Two years ago he excited interest in the mechanical world by cutting a sewing needle in two, lengthwise, and then drilled holes aijd fastened the pieces together'so cleverly that the spilt could not be seen with the naked eye. He has recently drilled a hole, which Is large enough to admit the passage of a fine hair, through a common pin from bead to point.

Gen. Cassius Marcellus Clay, the "Old Lion of White Hall," is carrying out his plan of educating his young wife to fit her for her new station in life.

DON'TS FOR WIVES.

Some Sound Advice Oiven In a Few Terse Words. Don't expect impossibilities from your husband.

Don't hen peck him just" because you know he is quiet and will stand it. Don't snub him in the preBenoe of strangers.

Don't run to your mother with all his faults rather keep his good qualities to light and hide his failures.

Don't worry him to death because you oannot have your every wish granted. Don't be selfish with your husband, for he is sure to appreciate your selfsacrifices.

the nearest way to a man's heart is through his stomach. Don't sit up waiting for your hbsband. Go to bed get all the sleep you oan. In the morning, when you are looking and feeling your beat, if you have anything to say, say it nine cbanoes out. of ten you will win.

Don't think that now you are married he doesn't care whether you curl your hair or not.

Don't treat him as if you had oome down off a pedestal to marry him. Don't let him come home night after night and fiuri you entertaining some late caller—men are not alwayn interested in women'* chatter it is apt to be tiresome after a bnrd day's grind at the offioe or store.

Don't expect him be amiable with a breakfast of tough si eak, greasy potatoes, oold rolls and muddy coffee. iP

'J A WHITE LIE. She sat with an anxious heart and a half tearful eye furtively watching him as he was about to taste her first dinner. He knew what was passing In her mind. After dinner was over he said: "I'm sorry for one thing." "What is it?" she asked. "That I did not get married sooner so that I might before this have enjoyed your delicious cooking, my love. As a cook you area success." He lied, but the messenger wbo should havo flown up to heaven's chancery with the falsehood folded his wings over his ears and did not bear it.

EXPLAna tion.

The publication in last Saturday's Mail, under tbe bead of "New Year's Resolutions," of some imaginary swear-ing-off, while intended iu the best of spirit, did a great injustice to Philip Spengler, the popular New Filbeck barber. It made him appear as having "sworn off" from taking Normal school roomers at his residence, when In fact such was not the case, 'nor had he any intention of so doing. This explanation is willingly made, because it was not intended to do harm by a pleasant joke.
