A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.

MAN ABOUT TOWN,

They are telling a story about the sale •of a house near Collett park to some of the people who have built residences north of Maple avenue and east of the park. The owners of the houpe were negotiating with Dr. Washington, of the Afro-American Journal, for a trade, when the neighborhood people learned that they were to have a colored man and brother for a neighbor. They ohipped in and bought the propeity to prevent the doctor taking up his resi dence among them. The doctor says that the owners of the house did not get all that could have been obtained for the property, aud that if be had secured it he would have unde the sub-tqu^ut purchasers pay thousand dollars more than they did for it.

There is* reason to believe that there are to be some innovations in the policy of management of the public schools with the advent of a new board. Not that anyone says so in so many words, but the indications are strong enough to warrant the statement made here.

It has been made plain during the week that the plan to consolidate the two gas companies was not going through as readily as the projectors of the speculative scheme bad intended. If the project is carried through along the lines intended at least the people will know what Is going on, which might not have been the case bud not Mr. Tennant made his offer for the two properties. For a year or more now the people have been hearing the story that the oompanies were losing money, thes old company because gas could not be made and sold for thirty*five cents at a profit, and that the more it sold the greater was the loss. The new company has contended that they could do a profitable business if the donsnmption was larger, and there you are The people had come to believe that there was some truth in the statement by sheer force of its reiteration. The assign meat of the new oompany had a tendency to add to the impression that the business of selling gas in Terre Haute was not profitable, but when Mr. Tennant came forward with an offer of more money than the stockholders had been saying the properties were worth it oaused people to wonder what the scheme might be. Then they came to the conclusion that there had been too muoh or the depreciation talk, and that perhaps a consolidated oompany would be a profitable speculation. Assignee Marshall says he will ask the court to order the sale of the Citizens' property, but it is now quite sure that it cannot be sold at the appraised value, as might have been done had not Tennant made his offer. Nor oould the oourt permit a private, sale or endorse one at a low price. And there's the rub.

The Mr. Mcllhenny, of Philadelphia, who was here a few days this week, left Thursday with option on the old company's stock. He has it for thirty days at par, $200,000. This is the same offer made by Mr. Tennant. It is also said that Mr. Mcllhenney's relations with Mr. Tennant wore suoh that the purchase of the stock by the Philadelphia syndicate would be playing into Mr. Tennant's hands. Indeed, it is said that Mr. Tennant's backing in his offers for the two oompanies came from the same people. That the ownership of the consolidated oompany would be a desirable thing for oapttalists is beyond doubt BOW.

The oontentton to secure this

ownership and the bitter feeling that has been manifested, furnish the best of proof of the truth of that assertion. That the promoters of the consolidation projeot hare no fear of competition is equally true. I asked Mr. Bindley about the Consumers' oompany, of which he Is president, and whioh was incorporated a few years ago when 1,900 oonsnmers stgned an agreement to take the company's gas at a prioe not to exceed 60 eents a thousand. He did not say it was dead bnt his faoe took on an expression suoh as one wears In the presence of the dead. He said there was a time when 9100,000 capital could hare been raised to have put In a plant, but now—and he slowly shook his head. When the pecpie had their first mad fit they would have gone into their pockets but since then their indignation has subsided.

And there are other reasons whioh diminish the prospect of a oompetlng oompany entering the field. One of these is the doabt as to the present obll gatlon of the pledges of consumers soured so long ago. If they are not tied fast and for good there would not be muoh hope of getting all of them oonneoted with the Consumers' mains and

then the Consumers' company would repeat the experience of the Oltlaen'e oompany. That Is, the stockholders would be like the candidate who was defeated for offloe, but learned how many liars there are in town. The Oonsomer's stockholder would be holding the bag, but he would be able to count up and dowa the streets liars by thedosan men who had enoouraged him to push the oompany along because it would be a good thing for the people and beoause they were impatient to be free from the monopoly but who went right on consuming the monopoly's gas. Another reason why there is little prospect of oompetition is that some of the men who onoe may have been willing to take stock in the Consumers' company have been made to see the error of their ways. In other words, the men who have been engineering the deal are past masters in the seoret work of convincing a man that he would better stop interfering with the plans of the past masters. Of course the exemplification of this work,as we say in the lodge, is never for public eyes, but it is said to be impressive. The man who takes the degrees never tells outsiders what he heard and how he was made to see pitfalls in his path, but if any one ever afterward asks him what became of his former zeal In the cause of the people, that is, the Consumers' company, he will explain how it had happened that since he first promised to go into the philanthropic movement the hard times came and his money had been needed in his business.,?!®

During the week signifiokri£ articles have appeared in the Express and Gazette. The one in the Express exoner ated Mr. Crawford for responsibility for a council resolution that was inimical to the interests of the Harrison street rail way, and the one in the Gazette was a statement of the attitude of the old lighting company'8 position, in whioh it was male known that President Har rlson atone time declined to treat with them because he came of fighting stock. And the Gazette sought to make it stronger by saying the statement did not oome from either Mr. Crawford or Mr. Ellis, which of course was an en dorsement or a reflection on the credibility of either Mr. Crawford or Mr. Ellis Recently, too, it was said by one of these papers, in reference to the quarrel over the possession of the streets, that it must not be forgotten the streets belong to the people of Terre Haute, which was a bully good point to make and would have beeg very timely a year ago when the council was giving franchises right aud left without a thought as to what the oity ought to have in return, and at whioh time there was no suggestion, except in The Mail, (hat it was bad policy to be carried away by prejudice for or against one company or the other to the extent that the oity's interests were forgotten in the desire to promote or defeat those of either of the rival companies.

Gentlewoman Housekeepers. The millennium of the housekeeper has oome when she is promised a real, live gentlewoman to "brush the hearth and put the plates away." A new society has been formed for the elevation of the cook stove, not that it is to surrender its old place in the basement—at least that has not been promised—but that its operator shall be lifted to the same standing, social, economical and professional, as a professional nurse.

In order to accomplish this, to establish a standard of gentility from the beginning, it is the purpose to exclude any one who has the unhappy preparation of a "previous condition of servitude." She is promised to "milady," in all the virginal purity of the reduced gentlewoman, who has "never had to work for her living before."

The society has begun life with the name o# Society of Gentlewomen Homemakers. It offers prizes in the way of badges of honor to the first 100 gentlewomen who take positions in families as homemakers.

The society will have a cooking and training school for the benefit of those who know something of the work, but are not entirely competent "Women's work for women" is the motto of the society, and to all who send a request it will issue a list of proofs which will convince the most skeptical of ambitions women as to the desirability of woman's work over business. By this means it expects to rid the long goffering housewife of incompetent oooks who demand high wages, and provide her with a jewel of a cook who traces her ancestry back to the colonial dames. The new society means business. —New York Herald.

ANTHONY'S PROPHECY.

Bh« Recite* the Advance Made by Woman Md Predict* Oreater Aetalevem«p»t». Miss Saaan B. Anthony sat in the sunny library of a E. Gross* home on the Lake Shore drim She was daintily, almost ooquettishly, gowned in a drew of black satin, with a misty collar of laoe caught about her neck with a jeweled pin of quaint and elaborate workmanship. Her white hair was parted smoothly over her high -forehead^and came down over her ears in a fashion so very old that it has suddenly become new again. Looking at Miss Anthony as she sat in the quiet library, observing her handsome dress, her air of elegance and her gentle voioe it was hard to think of her as the type of all that is aggressive in the nineteenth century womanhood. In faot, she looked like only a very quiet, well dressed little gentlewoman who would like nothing so well as to spend the day in the big chair of Mr. Gross' library.

And when she talked about the so called new woman and the twentieth century woman it was harder still For Misa Anthony doesn't muoh admire either of these in the accepted sense of the term 8.

When a timorous inquiry was made as to who the new woman is, when she will oome, or if she had come already, Miss Anthony said: "Itiall depends on what you mean by the term 'new woman. The term has become a cant phrase, carrying almost as muoh omrobrium as the term 'woman's rights wbman' used to imply. The 'new woman,' as the phrase goes, may mean a loud, mannish woman affecting the boisterous conduot of men, with none of the saving graoes of her own sex. If that be the new woman, I do not welcome her coming. If by the new woman is meant a woman earnest, thoughtful, lofty of purpose, self reliant and equally well educated with man, why, then she has coma We have got her in our homes, where she stands side by side with her husband, welcoming his friends on the common ground of intellectual equality, joining in their discussions—a college bred woman, who can do something ^jnore than pour tea. when her husband entertains his friends. We have got the new woman in everything except the counting of her vote at the ballot box. And that's coming. It's coming sooner than most people think. The new woman made her appearance 45 years ago, when Antoinette Brown entered Oberlin college. Next November we are go:::- to have in New York an exhib.: of LOW woman. "Nov.

sary will L-o made the occasion for a grand gathering of women who were the first to enter those fields of intellectual and business endeavor whioh half a century ago were occupied solely by men. At that time no trades, no institutions of higher learning were open to women. A woman who was driven to self support could do a little sewing, could enter domestic service or perhaps teadb in a primary school From not being able to earn a livelihood as she ohose, from not being able to reap the results of her labor after she married, from not being able to control her property after die married, from, in brief, a position of civio nullity she has advanced to her present position. Porty thousand women have been graduated from American colleges, every calling has its followers among women, and they are today as well educated as men, if not better. "In the state of New York one-elev-enth of the property tax is paid by women. In my own city of Rochester women pay taxes on a property valuation of $29,000,000. These are some of the results of the battle for equal rights, which women have been waging for 40' years, and they have fought alona The blacks had a nation's aid in the struggle, for emancipation. Women are the only oppressed class who ever were compelled to battle for emancipation unaided. No party gives our claims for equal suffrage its indorsement. But today the nation is known as a nation of educated women. To be sure, as wage earners they do not receive compensation equal to that of men. That is because, being without the ballot, they cannot dictate the terms upon which they shall be employed. All the women of today ask are the rights, powers, privileges and immunities of an American oititen. We have been granted equal suffrage in Wyoming and Colorado, virtually in Utah. Equal suffrage bills are now pending in the legislatures of Oregon, Idaho, Nevada, California and New York. The question of equal suffrage is beginning to be respected as a political measure And it's ooming." —-Chicago Tribune

Casual observers of the wheelwomen of Central park and Riverside drive, •ays aNew York paper, must have noted that they show a great variety of action, aa the term is, where horses are concerned. Some move along as inconspicuously almost as if they were walking, manage their draperies with perfect graoe and aeemliness and in all things conduct matters so that the male onlooker finds naught to cavil at Others move With evident labor, find their skirts a tardea and keep them in constant agitation by the violent movement of knees that seem to threaten the moon.

Quadriga is the name which has just Dean taken by a recently farmed club of young women in Baltimore The name is from that of the Roman chariot, to whioh four horses were driven abreast, often by women, and ic this instance the four steeds to be looked after by women, are literature, French, German and music, each department having a olubday on successive Thursdays of each month.

A Code of Honor For Women. A discussion has lately arisen respecting a code of honor for women. The advanced woman needs one If she is to compete with men in men's work die must adopt the code which men have found effective and practical- She must learn to hold her tongue, to respect other people's business, other people's secrets, other people's letters. She must not pry, or tell white lies, or do little mean underhand actions. In fact, a man's honor must be a woman's. This V?ill necessitate a complete change in woman's prejudices, opinions and conduct. For while in quiet heroism, in steady performance of duty, in unselfish sacrifice, even in moral courage, women bear the palm, they decidedly have not that keen sense of honor, that conviction that certain courses, not necessarily wicked per se, would be accounted dishonorable, which possesses the soul of a public school man.

Women are too apt to be Jesuitical and justify the means by the end, to gloss over slips and errors of judgment and small unfairnesses so long as the result is good. They'are much harder in their judgments, or fickle in their households, narrower in their prejudices, than men who have seen the world and learned to respect others' liberty and others' individuality as much as their own. A keen sense of honesty will certainly strengthen and beautify women's character and probably make them easier to live with. Whether it may alter other vital qualities of their nature remains to be seen.—London Graphio. fiSJ
