A PAPER FOR THE PEOPLE.
MAN ABOUT TOWN.
It is a fact that Judg« Greabam first made public here in 1892 the fact that he would vote for Clevelaud. He was her*at the fall race meeting and at dinner a the home of Mr. Crawford Fairbanks that day he said he would vote for the Democratic candidate. Mr. Fairbanks and others who were preseut repeated the statement that evening and a# few days later Judge Allen, of the United States Court at Springfield, 111., gave the same information, which in turn called out tue letter from Judge Gresham to Bluford Wilson, who was solicitor the trettHury

It is said there will be several resigna tions in the faculty of the State Normal with the close of the present school year. The resignations will be of those whose salaries have been reduced aud it so happens that tbey are the teachers who are supposed to have shown the least desire to endorse the school man agement in all things.
Dr. Waters has dropped out of the race for school trustee audit is now be tween Mr. Goodman an.lProf. Sandison The Republican members of the council are to Hold their caucus next Monday evening. Mr. Goodman's friends are urging that the party is under obliga tion to him and that he would be a valu able member of the board by reason of bis knowledge of business dealings. Prof. Sandison is said to possess especial qualification in that his work in the State Normal is directly related to the teacher's duties iu the school room. While this is the basis of a ctuim in his behalf it is a'.so set forth by his opponents as one reason why he would ban andesiiable member of the board find that there are many persons win are not en rapport with the advaoced (Ideas in regard to methods of teaching the young idea. It is said that there is too much theorizing and too little of the study of the individual in the school room. No doubt there are many good things to be said for the Normaiiidea, but the public has not heard them nor does not appreciate them if it has, and where there is ignorance prejudice is the strongest. Another thiug against Prof. Sandison is that his presence on the school board would be apt to carry too much of the Normal inlluencejlnto the city schools, to which objection Is made on the ground that there are just as good teachers to be found outside of the Normal as from its list of graduates. I have been told how teachers from the .Normal had to go through a course of training and bitter experience'after beginning to teach because in their preparation for the duties of a teacher not enough thought was given to thejpupll as an individual and too muchjto him in the abstract. But the friendsjof JProf. Sandison say this criticism is unjust because tue Normal policy is for a graduate to have two years' experience|before being awarded a diploma andjjthat the trouble in the city schools has beenjthat Superintendent Wiley has not picked out the best or more experienced of the Normal teaohers.
If anyone supposes that Eugene Debs to a* 1* crestfallen or has lost any of his somo*bundant faith that the final outcome of nigh&he A. R. U. strike of a year ago] will weatlrtndicate his action, that personj.doee tie igtt know the man. The declslonjof the ohampipreme oourfc simply had the effect of villagc^Qvinctng him that the "emancipation her sh* the wage earner" is brought fthat jest^uoh nearer. He is wholly wrapped *!&p In the belief that an evolution is 'going on, and that the agitation of jthese questions merely happened to be brought about by a strike In which he was the centra! figure.
The firebug is persistent"in his purpose, until now there seems to be a mania to destroy property by fire. It is one of the natural oonsequenoes of a prevalence of one description of crime for It to become epidemic, and It will not be surprising If Terre Haute is yet to have experiences with Incendiary flrea that will make what has gone before but trivial affairs In comparison. That something ought to be done to stop the dastardly work there can be no two opinions, but the doubt arises as to what should be done. The firebug or firebugs are undoubtedly acquainted with the polioe as well as with the interior of the office and sleeping room buildings and with the habits of the tenants. It would be almost Impossible
to patrol these buildings so as to prevent Are being set to them, because the Are bog oould do his work in a moment in one hail while the watchman was ia another part Qf the building. There seems to be no accepted plan of aotion at such times beyond the offering of a reward and closer watch over the prop erty. The reward might lead to the de velopment of faots whose importance would be of value only when considered with others of Which the polloe might be possessed. If there are several fire bugs in a conspiracy then one of them might be induced to betray his fellow conspirators by the ofter of money. The puzzling feature of the situation is that there has been no apparent objeot in storting the fires, except in one or two instances. The possibility of heavy property losses, and perhaps loss of life, leave no doubt that the person or per sons who are starting these fires are totally depraved, but at the same time they do not try to commit robberies or take advantage of the excitement to pick the pockets of persons in the crowd If it is not total depravity it is insanity, and in either case with no apparent motive, there is no clue to work upon
POOR GIRL!
She Has Means, but the Men Do Not Salt Her Peculiar Temperament.
To the Editor of the New York Snn SIR—Please
nieation to your famous office oat It comes from a "bachelor girL I have $8,600 a year. I shall never marry, because the young men of today do not suit my temperament. The men I could like are all married. This is sad, but true.
I have boarded for years. Today I have come to the conclusion that housekeeping is the only civilized way to live, I have taken a small house. My dilemma now is, how shall I furnish my house? With my income and with rent, and firstexpenditures, this is a puzzle to solve.
Now, were I to announce my engagement, I should receive presents enough to go to housekeeping with. But to go to housekeeping as a bachelor girl, carefully chaperoned, I must not accept a gift.
Is this not wrong and inconsistent? Do I net need them? And am I ncit more deserving than a bride? Remember, I am not selfish. So far I have done much good, and two-thirds of my poor little income has been devoted to others.
Now, do give me your views. To sum all up, should an old maid receive gifts to commence life in a home?
I am independent, yet so dependent. Forgive any errors in English. Only look at the question involved, and you will oblige an appreciative reader.
The Portland Vase.
Glassmakers at an early day, even before the Christian era, arrived at so great a degree of skill and proficiency as to more than rival anything within the range of modern art Among the antiqnes which have been preserved the Portland vase holds first place. For more than two centuries it was the principal ornament of the Barberini palace. Pellat, in his work on the incrustation of glass, says of the Portland vase: 'It was found about the middle of the sixteenth century, inclosed in a marble sarcophagus, within a sepulchral chamber, under the Monte del Garno, miles from Rome, in the road to Frascati. It is ornamented with white opaque figures in bas-relief npon a dark transparent ground. The subject has not heretofore received a satisfactory elucidation, but the design, and more specially the execution, are admirable. The whole of the blue ground, or at least the part below the handles, must have originally been covered with white enamel, out of which tfce figures have been sculptured in the style of a cameo, with most astonishing skill and labor." 4
The Dnchess of Portland became the purchaser of the celebrated vase which bears her name, at a price of nearly $10,009. Wedgewood was permitted to take a mold from the vase, and he disposed of many copies, in bis rich china, at a price of $250 each.—Boston Herald.
Language of the Veil.
The language of the veil of 1895 requires little interpretation. For the theater, for summer dancing or for a picnio tho veil is fastened on in the thick folds that permit coquettish drawings across the face. The eyes now show, now they are veiled, and it is the curve of the cheek that is prominent, again it is the dimple of the chin. And the passerby says, "That is a pretty woman, a gay woman, a stylish woman and a fashionable one!" The mourning, the staid, tho demure veil is pinned straight across the hat brim and drawn to the knot at the back of the head and tied there, the new feature being the way the trimming upon the bat brim is placed over the veiL If there is a jeweled bug, he holds the veil upon his antennas, and if flowen are there the veil falls beneath tlbm. Only the very stupid would now tie on veil over the gaudy brim trimmings of the season.
Work«r la the Twwmwh.
Ilia Lillian W. Betts, whose editorial and miscellaneous work on The Outlook to well known to a large circle of readens, is still a young woman, slight of figure, mentally and physically active and alert and deeply interested in the benevolent enterprises of New York. The causes of the working girl and of fie dwellers in tenement houses are especially dear to her, and for these die toils and writes unceasingly. A vacation home in the country for poor girls, recently opened, is largely the resalt of her determined effort Mm

FOR LITTLE FOLKS..
"YOU'RE IT,"
ft vw Brought to America With the Game of Tag by Little Cookw«y«. Boys and girls, do yem know why you lay, "You're it!" when playing tagr uf oo'nrse not. The professor didn't either when we asked him the other day, but he promised to put his entire mind upon the subjeot and let us know at ouoe.
This is what he says, though wifeJj some of his big words loft out '•The people who live over in England do not seem to think much of the letter 'h,' being in the habit of dropping it from the words where it belongs and putting it where It does not belong. What fun there is in it, or why they do it, no one can tell, bnt they have been in the habit of it for a good many hundred years. "For this reason when the little English boys who were great-great-grand-fathers years and years ago were having grand times in their games they, too, kept dropping their h's from the words they were shouting. "So, when they played tag, as boys do now, touching each other with their hands, whenever one boy hit another he at once shouted out, 'You're *it 1* for he could not say 'hit,' you know.
'And all the generations of little boys who have since then been playing the game continued to say

The Mongoose.
In Mr. Kipling's story of "Rikki-tikki-tavi, the Mongoose," in which all young folks and a good many older oires, delight, a great respect for that busy little animal is aroused. The splendid way in which he fights Nag and Nagaina, the big black cobra and his wife, is thrilling.
There is such a thing, however, as too much activity on the part of the mongoose. The people in the island of Jamaica are realizing this. They imported the mongoose in large numbers to kill the rats, which were so numerous there that they did much damage to the ngar cane. The mongoose prompt lied the rats, but kr:i were all destroyed it ':11
eir ru killing and de
stroyed ranges, toads and crabs that are u~.:ul to eat up the stinging insects that live down there. As a result these have much increased, for the mongoose does not care for them, and not'only that, but the mongoose, haying about finished the rats, snakes and toads, does not find enough teheed upon and so steals eggs and kills young pigs, lambs, calves, puppies, kittens and game birds and destroys fruits and vegetables. Pretty soon the islanders will have to import something to kill the mongoose.
Peter's Peach,
Peter lived on the prairie. When he was 8 years old, the first railroad train came through. Uncle Peter carried the small boy to see it.
A train boy threw a peach to Peter. He ate it, and laughed and squealed with delight. "Don't throw away the stone, said Uncle Peter. "We'll plant it."
Peter's chubby, brown little hand patted the soft earth over it. That first season he watched the green shoot break through and send out a few leaves. The next season it was tall enough for Peter to jump over it The next it was so tall he couldn't.
When Peter was 8 years old, there1 were seven peaches on his tree, one for each of the family, and not one of them had ever tasted anything so good before He planted all the stones.
Today Peter is a big boy. He has eight well grown peach trees, which oarry health and delight to all the neighborhood. And he has a young orohard coming on which will some day bring more money than all. his father's crops. Youth's Companion.
.fl'"*!- The Obedient Bnt. Take a glass and half fill it with salt water—the water must be very salt— then fill the balance of the glass with fresh water.
Now take an egg and place it very gently in the glass, and it will float By shaking the glass so that the fresh and salt water mix the egg will sink Of course you make your preparation previous to exhibiting the experiment and inform your auditors that you can cause the egg to float or sink at oommand. It is a neat experiment, and any one can perform it and so create no little amusement in a large company.— Exchange.

Variety the Word.
The chief characteristics of fashion's present charming show are Its infinite variety, its designs, colorings and endless phases, affording an almost unlimited choice of models suited to speoial peculiarity of face, form or feature, liberty reigns supreme, and the great dictator in dress is no louger a despot On the contrary, the flats of fashion are now very often vetoed, and personal choice and individuality in gowning are everywhere appareut. This was notably shown in the putting down of crinoline proper two years ago. It is, however, again making very unmistakable bids for favor, and it is to be hoped that it will again meet its former fate. Consistence is another characteristic that is receiving especial attention, and gowns and garnitures, jewels and laces appropriate to their own particular time and plaoe appear, the entire costume in perfect accord both with the hour, the occasion and its wearer's surroundings in life It is also perfect in small details, from the crown of the wearer's bonnet to the tip of her dainty
