MAN ABOUT TOWN.

It is suggested by a physician tbat the physicians ought to get together and agree not to go on the witness staud to testify as experts. The reason for this suggestion is the disagreement of the doctors whenever they do testify all of which has a tendency to bring their profession into ridicule. In the Bridges' case doctors testified that he was insane and other doctors testified tbat he was sane. Indeed it is said tbat you can get just as many to testify one way as the other.

The Bridges

verdict

was a fine illus­

tration of the prupeusity of Juries to mete out their ideas of justice with out regard to being consilient with the law. The jury in this case did not believe Bridges was insane had they been of that opinion it would have beeu barbarous to send him to the penitentiary. The jury thought the young ft»an was to be excused to some extent for commiting murder because the woman had duped him. The excuse was just good enough to reduce the sentence from death or life imprisonment to ten years. There was nothing of self-defense in the case. It was murder, assassination, or it was the act of an insane man. Either death or life imprisonment was bis due under a strict construction of the law or be should have been acquitted on the ground of insanity. The verdict really was this: guilty of murder in the first degree with palliating circumstances on acoonnt of which the punishment is minimized regardless of the law.

The action of Polioeman Lewis in preterring charges against another policeman for sleeping while on duty after he himself had been dismissed from the iorce for the offense reminds Man About To .vn of an incident several years ago. A policeman who was noi standing in with the headquarters clique was sua pended for lowering and a

upet"

took

his beat. The next night the favorite slept for an hour and a half in full view of all who -passed the place where he was snoozing but no charge was preferred against him. I don't know whether I made the prediction in this oolumn recently when the men were told they must again consider that they •were expected to perform their duty that several policemen would soon be removed from the force on one pretext or another. More are yet to go. I do not mean to offer excuses for any dereliction of duty by public officials but I do *nean that it will bo found tbat none of the guilty who have stood in with tbe -clique will be called before the board. If the dismissal of men who have not -catered to the powera-that be is for the good of the service why not dismiss them on that ground?

If the Vandalia management should issue an order to run trains east and -west on tbe main line some persona would say it meant an innovation and signified that the Pennsylvania company was beginning to assert Its distinctive policy in the operation of the property. The promulgation of the new rules which are to go into effect on May 1st has started this kind of comment. The fact is tbe rules are tbe ones adopt•ed by the American Railway Association two or three years ago and are no an ore Pennsylvania company's roles than they are of any of the other systems. The M. K. and T. is another system that is only now just putting them into effaot, The idea Is to have uniformity of signals and other features of the work in the operating department of the roads so that a trainman going from tbe employment of one road to another would not be so liable to blander through force of habit. In the book containing the now rules there are sever*! pages devoted to specify the particular duties of the various minor offiolals and trainmen of the system. This is the Pennsylvania oode but it is no different from the general rules that have prevailed with the Yandalia. The duties of the officials and emyloyes are more definitely speoiflod and in this respect it is Pennsylvania polloy.

The continual gossip and surmises as to the management of the Yandalia has more or less of a demoralising effect on the employes. They area made apprehensive and no doubt beoome less fit for their work. There has been nothing to warrant this feeling of apprehension. It is almost entirely due to the tongue of gossip. It is a faot that the Pennsylvania people told Mr. Williams that they wanted the road operated and managed separate institution and as it had

HH

been. There is no tUuu^htof efleoting radical obanges in tbe personnel of the forces. The reports of signifl -nut Incidents and changes on tbe system are ludicrous when all the truth is known. When the Pennsylvania engines were brought from the Panhandle the talk was that this meant the absorption of the Vandalia in the Pennsylvania just as the Panhandle was absorbed. The faot is the engines were needed to baul the Increased amount of freight which the Vandal la is getting. Nothing was displaced by the bringing of the engines here. On the contrary more work was provided. A few days ago an Indianapolis paper whose railroad editor seems to be engaged in a deliberate purpose to cater to this feeling of apprehension said the Pennsylvania had sent an engineer corps to the Peoria division to do some work. There wasn't a bit of truth in the statement so far as the Pennsylvania was concerned. Yet it serve.d to start a great deal of talk and fear lest Pennsylvania men should supercede the old time "Van" men.

The Catholic Knights of Pythias of this city have unanimously deoided not to leave the order notwithstanding they bave been notified that unless they do leave tbe order they cannot be received as members of the ohurch. There is authority for tbe statement that there is a prospect that the decree will be rescinded. The ohances are that at the present time the question is before the Propaganda of Rome. It is a fact that many of the clergy are opposed to the decree and are doing what tbey can to bave it rescinded. Archbishop Ireland and Archbishop Kane are both opposed to it and it is a significant faot that neither ha&, promulgated the deoree. Cardinal Ombons baa done nothing to Turther it. This state is in the arcbdiooese of Cincin nati and tbe decree oame to the Indiana bishops from there. Bishop Cbatard was much opposed to it and delayed its promulgation as long as he could. A few days ago Mons. Satolli, the Pope's representative in this coun try, told a delegation of Catholics from Fall River, Mass., tbat they would be permitted to perform their Easter duty this year without first leaving the knights but that permission is not accepted here as no official notice of the exemption has been received. Catholics who are knights will not be received in the confessional or be permitted to partake of communion so long as tbey retain their membership in the secret order. There are nearly one hundred Catholic knights in this city. There are many more than tbat number in Indianapolis and among those in tbat city are some of Bishop Cbatard's olose personal friends. In the city of Brooklyn there are several thousand Catholic knights.

I was told the story of the opposition to the Knights of Pythias by one who is in a position to know what has taken place. He attributes it to the dispute in tbe order over the change in tbe ritual by which the work in the German language was prohibited. Among the German Catholic knights there was and is yet a bitter feeling owing to this decision of the supreme conclave. After tbn decision was made at Washington last year some of the German Catholics went to their bishops and clergy and told their tale of woe. The German bishops, such as Bishop Katzler, of Milwaukee, who are great sticklers for the maintenance of their language in schools and in all organizations, made representation to the Propoganda that tbe K. of P. was an iniquitous institution. The Propoganda acted on this ex-parte statement and issued the deoree. No decree has been issued against the Odd Fellows which permits of German lodges. Tbe Propoganda is now bearing from tbe other side. It Is not improbable that the deoree will be either so modified or entirely rescinded tbat all Catholics will be able to perform their Easter dnty which Is requisite for good standing in tt)e church. The time for this annual confession and communion Is from Ash Wednesday until the second Sunday after Easter whioh will be April 28th. _____ "Mort" Rankin started tbe first bnildIng and loan association in Terre Haute. In 1868 be organized Terre Haute No. I, with |200 shares, the monthly payment being |2. He met with considerable difficulty in seourlng the one hundred stockholders. The people did not know anything about bnilding and loan associations and were dibtrustfol. Rankin prevailed on Mr. Preston Hnssey to take some shares so tbat his name on the list of stockholders wo»ld be reassuring to- the doubting ones. Soon afterward Terre Haute No. 2 was organized, and then others followed quiokly. Mr, Frank Schmidt had received from Germany the plan of organisation of like associations, and he took some ideas from it to engraft on the plan of the Rankin associations. Rankin found his plan in the Scientific American, in an artiole describing the Philadelphia associations. The first in this country were started in that city. In the twentyseven years slnoe Terre Haute No. 1 was organised there have been many associations in this city. Many hundred thousands of dollars have passed through their treasuries, and it Is a safe estimate that more than one-half of the residences built in Terre Haute in the last twenty years have had bailding and loan mortgages on them. _______

The Charity Circus managers have secured most of the local bands of music from the small towns in this part of tbe abash valley, and In that way will

make stronger the attraction here for the people of these towns, Tbe various committees have been named, and tbe Membership is large aud Influential. It la well that this is so, because tbe Charity Clrous Is planned on a big scale and the preparation will require tbe aervloea of many persons. The parade will be two mile* In length, and tbe merchants have eagerly taken hold of tbe oppornlty to advertlae their business by providing some novelty In a cage. The menagerie and museum will be tbe only burlesque features of the show. Theoircus performance will be meritorious. The tent is to be of the largest size, There will be two rings and tbe platform Htnge between, the same as seen in ''Tbe Greatest Show on Earth."

A WINNING BEFOBM.

IT IS THAT ADVOCATED BY "GENUINE NEW WOMAN."

We have been assured by the writers on sociology, ethnology, pure ethics and what not that there is to be or that there is a "new" woman.

The conservative of both sexes have always loved that dellcaoy and refinement which tbey have regarded as essentially feminine.

Bide

her own hearth over h&r mending basket and can, count with satisfaction the pairs of well darned hose and tho garments freshly supplied with buttons and restored to their original integrity by her skillful fingers.

Those misguided reformers who think that, somehow, there is an affinity between the ballot and Syrian trousers have left this ineradicable femininity out of all their reckonings.

Tbey are constantly inveighing against corsets and trailing skirts, voluminous petticoats, to whose account they oharge up half the "ills tbat human flesh Is heir to."

All tbat tbey can say against the oorset and the torturing weight of skirts is true, but tbey will never lead modest women out of an error which is at least inconspicuous into another that errs almost as gravely by going to the other extreme.

They seem to think-that the entire animus of tbe folly of fashion has its root in vanity. They overlook entirely the mainspring of tbe motive whioh makes many women—the best and the most intelligent —apparently slavish votaries of fashion. This is modesty. No refined or delicate minded woman wishes to be conspiouous through any out-Iandlshness of attire which will make her the center of ourious observation, and no modest woman wiy array herself In a manner tbat may occasion such notoriety.

Much moro than hoalth is involved in successful dress reform, for clothes are inevitably an expression of individual mind and charactcr. The insane, as one of the commonest manifestations of mania, garb themselves in all sorts of fantastic array from Ophelia with ber garland, to the pitiable Lear. In a less degree mental ob liquity manifests itself, in the case of those who are aocounted sane, but odd, and in precisely the same manner.

A gown, a bonnet, even the glove molded for tbe band, should be almost as much apart of tbe wearer as the hair, tbe eyes, or other features. Women with individuality and taste will never submit to being uniformed in a "business woman's suit," like a member of tbe police foroe or tbe able seaman of a man-of-war.

Neither will they ever be persuaded to make frights of themselves in any modification of trousers or trouserettes, and those who are expending their energy in this direction might as well desist.

They are effecting nothing at all in popularizing designs tbat are hideous and disgusting, and whioh are a violation of the artistic fitness of things. More than this, they are rousing bitter and unreasoning hostility against right and important political questions which, unfortunately, tbey also happen to advocate.

There is a praotloal dress reform which has been already adopted without any ado by thousands of women—those who have tabooed the oorset and whalebones, and who yet are always beoomingly and sensibly dressed. They attract no attention at all because tbe "reform" is not advertised by abnormal ugliness and other gracelessness. The genuine "new" woman will oontinne to write books, study a profession and make speeches, but she will not on this account willingly relinquish one charm or refinement either In appearance or manner.

The inventor of Syrian trousers and the business woman's dress might as well retire from the field. Tbe genuine "new" woman, whose word will be law, will have none of them.—Mary H. Kront in Chicago Inter Ooean.

INVESTIGATED BY THE TEXAS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE AND VOUCHED FOR BY DR. C,

H. STANSBURY.

(Fromthe Tazat Christian Advocate.) Oar representative has made a careful investigation of the H. E. SpauWling case at Loqgview, which is here published for the first time, and whioh will be read with

fn

reat interest by medictal men everywhere, reply to the Christian Advocate's questions Mr. Bpauiding said. About eight years ago while running a locomotive I contracted sciatic rheumatism in my left side from my hip down, It came on slow but sure and in a few months I lost control entirely of that member, it was just the same as if it was paralyzed, I was totally unable to move out of my room for a year and a half, six months of which time I was bed-ridden. I tried every remedy suggested, and had regular physicians in constant attendance oa me. 1 was bundled up and sent to Hot Springs where I spent three months under the treatment of trie most eminent specialists, all of which did me no good, and I oame back from the springs in a worse condition than when I went. I came home and laid flat on my back aud suffered the most excruciating agonies, screaming in pain every time anybody walked across the room, the only ease I obtained being from the oonstant use of opiates. After three months of this kind of agony, during which time my entire left leg perisned away to the very bone, my attention was called* to a new remedy called Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale "People, by Mr. Allison who is now train dispatcher at Texarkana, and who was relieved of locomotor ataxia of twenty years duration. At his urgent and repeated solicitation I consented to give them a trial, after taking a few doses I began to improve. I continued taking the pills and kept right on improving until I was finally cured. My leg is just the same size now as the other oue, and I am sure that Pink Pills not only cured me but saved my life.
