Councilman Heury Urban,of the First, ward, is a "warm baby." He is a smooth article of tbe first water. At the special council meeting Wednesday afternoon to decide on the matter of lighting the city until the new company is in a posi tlon to do so, Mr. Briggs, who is chairman of the light committee, made a motion to authorize the old company to continue the lighting on the best terms ^possible, the motion very properly looming from his committee. Mr. Urban jihad a resolution with a preamble, whioh icovered the ground of the motion offered by Mr. Briggs, which be asked permission to read. Mr. Briggs, of course con'seated, and like the good fellow that he Kg-*,is, withdrew his motion, and seconded f^ the resolution offered by the gentleman .!». from the First ward. Mr. Urban's resolution was ctf course adopted, and the irecord will show that he was the mover in the matter, and some time in the futhre when Mr. Urb&n is a candidate

mayor, and he is very likely to be, some time when the salary is $2,500 a year,.and the mayor has aright to appoint all the city officers, he-can point with pride to the fact that he, and he Alone, was the man who threw himself an to the breach and saved the good people of Terre Haute from being compelled to grope about the city in darkness on that memorable night in February, 1895, when that awful old oompany, whose contract had expired, was going to turn out the lights, j-

The fee and salary bill reported to the JSouse this week increases the salaries of I Vigo county officers as follows: Audiitfps tor, from $5,000 to $5,800 recorder, from $2,500 to $2,700 clerk, from $5,000 to $5,600 treasurer, from $4,000 to $4,300 sheriff, from $4,000 to $5,300. The fee and salary committee made the mistake of relying solely on population as a basis for fixing salaries, instead of the amount of work done by the courts and offlolals. Hence, Evansviile with her padded census, has the advantage of us.

We cast more votes in this county in every eleotion than Vanderburg, every one of our county officers has more work to perform, as the records will show, than the corresponding officer in Lamasco, And yet because the census takers down there were smart enough to add a few ^thousand names to the census returns, jur officers get the worst of it. The people will never submit to a return to tbe old system, where one term in a county office made a man independently rich, but they want the best men possible in the various offices—and the way to get good men in those offices, as in business,

Is to pay good wages.

"Pete" Mahan, deputy county clerk,, is a remarkably clever official, and a mighty good fellow. He's got the marriage license business down fine. With his eagle eye he can tell at a glance the premonitory symptoms of a man who is looking for a marriage license, but who has exhausted bis energy in popping

tomes to walking up boldly to the clerk's office and asking for a license, be is short on the needed qualities. "Pete" oau beam over his glasses in the most en Uc ng way to such young men, extract the needed Information from them without them being aware of it, and when be says to an applicant in the sweetest *y possible, "Two dollars, plea*®," the young mau rises upon his tip-toes aud calls him blessed.

As a matter of fact, when an injuuction is asked for, and a good bond ia filed by the parlies praying for the injunction, the judge is given no choice in granting one temporarily. As to the length of time this one was granted, it was the shortest that could be given, aud was less than that asked for by the petitioners. There has been an attempt made to create the impression that Judge Henry exceeded his powers, and in fact went out of his way in granting this temporary injunction, but if some of those persons who have been quick to believe this story would read the statutes on tbe matter of injunctions they would find that the judge did exactly what he was compelled by the law to do.

President Harrison has been interviewed, as has Mayor Ross, but no one has heard of "Andy" Crawford submit-, ting to an interview on a matter that interests him vitally.

Not long ago, in fact just after John Butler became sheriff, he in conjunction with Judge Taylor adopted a set of rules for the government of the jail, and. among them was one that no .peraqn, except an interested attorney, should be allowed to converse with a prisoner except on an order from tbe judge or sheriff. It was a reasonable order aud no person objected to it, until one day this week, when Mr. Meagher, superintendent of

police,

sent a reporter down

to the jail with an order to allow him to interview one of ihe diamond thieves, an order that the jail officials did not honor, for the reason that they were not subject to the direction of the police. His High and Mightiness, the Superintendent, is very indignant over the refusal, and announces with considerable of a flourish that there will never be another tramp sent to the jail as long as he is superintendent of police, meaning that be intends to curtail the sheriff's basiness because bis dignity has been assailed. Tbe sheriff, so far as heard from, has not been sitting np of nights worrying over the matter. He probably thinks, with a great many oiher people, that "as long as I (Meagher) am superintendent" doesn't mean much.

A TERRE HAUTE GIRL

WHO IS MAKING HERSELF FAMOUS IN THE ART WORLD,

Harper's Baxar Devotes a Whale Pag® to el in go A a a S aa a Miniature Palnt«r-The Revival In

That Art Attributed to Bter. Miss Amalta Kussner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs, L. Kussner, formerly of this oity, but now living In Chicago, has be come famous as a painter of miniature portrait, and her wonderful skill has been written of in all the New York pampers and magazines. Terre Haute friends of Miss Kussner were familiar with her skill as a miniature painter, and many samples of her early work are now owned here. The owners of these portraits oan congratulate themselves on their possession, as tbey are treasures indeed. It is said that Miss Kussner's prioes for portraits on ivory- range up in the hundreds, and for some of them she receives as high as six hundred dollars. Last week Harper's Bazar devoted a whole page to Miss Kussner and her x^rt, giving a portrait of hfer that does her faint justice, and also gives some specimens .of .her .wprk. After reviewing the general revival in the art of portrait paintng, the Bazar writer says /1

The first indications of a revival of miniature painting came through the appearance of a few miniatures in the Paris Salon of trwo years ago. The art has always been highly appreciated in France and the large number of specif mens exhibited at the last Salon, and thie interest and admiration excited by them gave conclusive testimony concerning the rapid advance of the movement. The'cause of it abroad is not apparent but the awakening in New York was chiefly if not wholly due to the advent of Amalia Kussner, whose arrival, by a curious concurrence, coincides with the beginning of the miniature furor in France. This girl artist—two years ago scarcely more than a child—appeared unheralded.

Neither the art-world nor the realm of fashion, luxury, and wealth had ever heard Amalia Kussner's name. The] story of her success reads like a romance. The only approach, to it is tha arrivaUxiC Angelica KaufFman in London, whereupon—so the chronicles say—that sober old town straitway "run mad with paint." But Kauffman was already famous when she went to London, and her coming had been widely and loudly trumpeted in advance by the most powerful art-patronage of the day. Miss Kussner was unheard-of till she appeared in New York—without introduction or influence, as unexpected and mysteriously as Aphrodite from the foam of tbe sea—leas than two years ago. Within that time she has painted an astonishing number of miniatures of many of the most prominent men and women oftbe country. Of late her brush has been almost monopolized by the highest fashion of New York. No feature of hi*-' work is more remarkable than the amount of it. Scores of miniatures within less than two years—when the old monks, who were tbe earliest minia turists, often gave a year of patient labor to a single one. There is no vagueness in the spirited grace of her drawing. It is diffioult, indeed, to define the peculiar charm of her painting, to point out its distinguishing characteristics, or to haz ard a guess concerning the sohool. Cer tain qualities of cblar-oscuro, and the deep rich feeling .of color, hint the in fluence of eminent French masters. But there are oonspicuous differences, ea peclally in the soft spirit of her lines whioh have no Frenoh angularity. s-

Some of her earliest miniatures are among the finest. A notable instanoe is the likeness of a popular singer whioh flashes out with trapretae radift'tibd among all the dazzling get** of her Art. It is a perfect plotufe of an exceedingly beautiful woman, and truth no less than beauty looks out from the encircling jewels—for a fiery tameless spirit gleams through the exquisite flesh. Another, also painted early in the artist's career, is the miniature of a most lovely great lady, now ruling New York, loss by the might of grand wealth and exalted social position than by the spell of her gentle beauty. It beams like the moon in Miss Kussner's painting—so calm and pure— and is fittingly wreathed about with superb pearls^

Conceding mu6h to the' dlvtatT|fift7tW Inborn power of tbe young artist, let it not for a moment be kssmned that eved she has found any royal foad to fame. Could genius ever be truly defined as an infinite capacity for taking peine* ibis were certainly the case with mlnfattfrfepainting. The unitiated cannot possibly oonoeive of the nerve and eye and brain toil represented by one of theee tiny masterpieces. First comes the study of the personality, and Amalia Kuasner often devotes an entire sitting to thi* without touching a brush. She paint* entirely from life—and once the entity is grasped, the sketching in is rapidly done. Then the painting, tbe actual labor, begins. Not a stroke of all the Innumerable strokes of the lnfinlteslmally email brushes but must be made under a powerful magnifying-glass. Eachgdssa-

Soon after her arrival she reoeived a letter of introduction to a New York woman of wealth, sooial importance, and artistic appreciation.

Gen. Mahlon D. Manson, formerly revenue collector for this distriot, and one of the most prominent men in the Btate, died very suddenly at Frankfort last Monday night. He was a native of Ohio, was seventy-five years of age, and had lived in and near Crawfordsville ,fifty-feur years. He was a oaptai in the Mexloan war, in whioh he served under Gen. Winfield Scott. He served in the legislature of 1860, and when the war of tbe rebellion came he entered the army a* a captfln and was promoted to oolonel and afterward to the rank of brigadier general* In 1864 General Manson was (hen oaodldata of, th^ Democratic party for lletfttthant governor on the ticket with Joseph E. McDonald, who was a candidate for governor. He was nominated in 1866 for secretary of state by the Democratic convention. He wax a candidate for congress in the Ninth distriot In 1868 and was defeated by Godlove S. Ortb. In 1870 he was elected to congress from the same distriot, defeating General Lew Wallace. In 1878 he was elected auditor of State. In 1886 he was elected lieutenant governor with Isaac P. Vray, who was elected governor. Two years later he resigned to accept the position of internal revenue collector for this district aud after bis term ex* pir&l he was appointed a member of the froldiere* monument commission, whioh position he held at the time of his death.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

It tftkes a man to talk economy—a wonqan to practice it. Loftus Parker Jone*, of Washington, who is thought to have two brains, is twenty-two inobes around the head.

Mrs, George W. Cable, the wife of the novelist, is one of the most beautiful women seen in literary circles in New York.

D. B* Davis, of Columbus, O., threw away a fortune when he invented the locomotive cow-catcher and forgot to patent it.

Senator Martin, of Kansas will retire from tbe chamber in *March. And be will go out as a senatorial rara avis— poorer than when he went in.

There is no European country in which women are more employed than in France. It is rare to enter a French shop and find a man serving as accountant.

Mrs. Henrietta M. King, of Corpus Cbristi, Tex., owns 1,875 square miles of laud in Texas, or about 1,250,000 acres. She inherited this vast domain from her husband.

Senator Warren rarely takes a morning's walk around his Wyoming farm. One reason is that it is six times as big as tho State of Rhode Island and has on it 2 000 horsea, 15,000 cattle and 130,000 sheep.

Senator Carey, of Wyoming, defeated foi re election tor voting against free filver^ weighs 300 pounds. He was once squelched in debate by Senator Wolcott, who quoted the Spanish proverb "It is a waste of father to shave an ass."

The volume of water that flows throUfcb New York City every day via tbe new aqueduct is equal to a river a hundred feet deep running at the rate of a mile an bour. If the full capacity of the aqueduct were used it would represent a similar river 165 feet wide.

Somebody has discovered the curious fact that the reluctance of women to tell their age is no piece of modern sensitiveness. It is as old as the hills. In the Old Testament although great numbers of women are mentioned, tbere is but onen—Sarah, Abraham.'^ wife—wftose .age.ia recorded.,

A young Russian widow put up a costly monument to her late husband and inscribed upon it. "My grief is so great that I oannot bear it." A year or so later, however, she married again, and feeling a little "awkwardness about the inscription, she solved the difficulty by adding one word to it, "alone."

Grand dames in Paris have gone a Btep further than stockings with real lace insertions, that have been their ex travagance this season. Some of them are now wearing holsery made entirely of the oostly fabric, with an embroidery of seed pearls on the instep. These real lace stookings are as fine and cobwebby as a veil or soarf and are as expensive as they are dainty.

The richest man in either house of congress is Paul Sorg of Middletown, O., who represents tbe Third district, which lies just north of Cincinnati. He is said to* be worth $15,000,000 and to have an Income of more than fl,000,000, all of which he has made himself In the manufacture of plug tobacco. He owns one of the largest—perhaps the largest—fac* tories in the world, employing more than 1,000 men and turning out several oar Wads of tobacco daily, which is shipped to all parts of the world. Judging from appearances no one would suspect Mr. Sorg of being a plutocrat. He is an undersized man of plain appearance and probably has a smaller acquaintance with his colleagues than any other member of the house. He has introduced but few bills, has never made a speech, and is a member of only one committee—that on- military affairs. Last year Mr. Sorg's net inoome from his tobacoo faotory alone was over $500,000.

TALK ABOUT IHE WEATHER.

If Oaudletnas day be fair and bright *. Winter will take another flight If Candlemas day be foul «nd rain p^

Winter is gone and won't come again.m:4? The particular variety of weather you: may expect the remainder of this month depends on the construction of the first line of the above ancient bit of weather prophecy. The correct meaning is to be arrived at by bearing in miud that the verse was written to suit the season and not with singular reference to the seconds day of February. The theory is that if we have had our due share of winter ia proper season there should be signs of its breaking up about February 2d and therefore the foul and rainy weather ought to be here. If, on the other band,! it is pleasant the theory is that we have, not bad our share of winter and therelore more of winter weather is to come. Now, it so happens tbat while it was "fair and bright" last Saturday yet the t'hermometer registered below zero, which, a moment's reflection will show, is not the sort of a day that comes within the meaning of tbe prophecy. -'-v

If we may be permitted to call in tho Rev. Irl Hicks as associate iu prophecy we find that the breaking up of winter is really due a week after Candlemas day. The reverend gentleman says in regard to the weather to be expected about this time, that i3 from the 9th to the 13tb, that there will be "heavy snow to tbe north, but that rains with thunder and lightning will be the order iu the south. Cyclones and tornadoes are among the possibilities." Quick and extreme changes to very cold will follow all general storms but the temperature will react quickly. 1.

The cold days in local history, according to the oldest inhabitants and the weather records, have been as follows: January 1, 1864, 23^ degrees below zero January 5, 1884, 21 degrees below, and January 23, 1885, 17 degrees below by the old reliable thermometer of Luther G. Hager, and 24 below by the common thermometers of tbat day. In those days everybody swore by Luther Hager's thermometer, and it had the same standing in popular history as that at present occupied by the Buntin thermometer, There has been quite a discussion during the pnst week as to whether or not the cbid day was on the first- day Of 1863 or 1864. Simon Hirsobler, the clothier, remembers the day well, for the reason that he didn't come to Terre Haute until August, 1863, and he conne ts the cold day with ah inoident that is not likely to be forgotten. He was with L. Goodman, Sr., who was in the clothing basiness in the room at present occupied by A. P. Kivitts, the shoe man. Mr. Goodman Invariably left the front doors of his store open, no matter how cold it might be, and they were open on this memorable day. But about nine o'clock the cold had become so intense that he said to one of the clerks that ho had better close the front door, the only time in the recollection of Mr. Hirschler that the doors were closed while he was with the elder Mr. Goodman, uncle of the present member of the firm of Goodman & Hirschler. 5^

If any man says we do not have cold winters such as there were when he was a boy, shoot him on the spot.

The cold snap caused a decided increase in the use of oil fer illumination. Gas meters were frozen and would not stay thawed out. ffv.....

Nineteen degrees below zero by the Buntin thermometer—whioh it showed yesterday morning—is equal to twentyfive degrees below by the thermometer of thirty years ago. This morning tho same instrument registered seven below at seven o'clock. At half-past nine it was at zero, and passers-by began to talk about spring.

The tall stories of the effect of tbe cold snap whioh were heard yesterday discounted the biggest lies ever told by fishermen. So far as heard from the boss lie was that told by a man who claimed that the water in his well, seventy-five feet deep, had frozen solid.

The freight brakeman's lot is not a happy one these days. Neither is tbat of the motorman on tbe cars.

Several months ago, Jarnes Hunter, who introduced the free neckband feature into the laundry business, evolved the idea of manufacturing neckbands for other laundries throughout the county, being ehabled to turn them out at a figure that others could not well touch. He sent'out circulars annouhcing the new departure, and like everything ho has attempted it proved a success. From all part9 of the country he had queries and orders, and it was not long before the wholesalers took the matter up. Now all the leading wholesalers in laundry supplies handle tbe neckbands, and the business bas grown to such au extent as to necessitate the employment of extra labor. On Saturday of last week he received an order for 380 dozen neckbands, and olio day this week the mails brought him an order for 223 dozen. It will be seen that many laundHes throughout the country moist have tiken up the "free neckband" question, in which tbe Terre Haute man was the pioneer, as he was in the C. O. business In laundry.
