The Rev. J. S. Hoi mew of the Baptist church, rushed into priut with a card this week when he saw the statement that the young people's church societies had effected an organization for the purpose of enforcing the Nicholson law. He asked pardon for "writing with warmth." Ninety-nine out of a hundred cards for newspapers are written with warmth. As an Irishman might say if they were written in colder mo menu* they would

Is to preach and not serve as prosecuting attorney. Whatever may be the opinion as to a preacher's duty in these occasions I have no doubt that the young people ought to be kept aloof. Dr. Holmes i9, perhaps, the last man who would be detered from performing a duty because "business men and capitatista" do not respond to the occasion as he undoubt edly would like for them to do, but there is in that the little incidental remark a world of significance. There are many church people who believe they ought to express themselves on these questions, but refrain from doing so because some business man or capitalist who does not believe as they do but who has more or less connection with the mundane affairs of churches, believes the Terre Haute polioy all right. By the way, that reminds me of the anomalous fact that the mover of the resolution in the union meeting a few weeks ago that the young people's sooietiessbould begin a campaign against the saloons, is secretary of the Standard Wheel Company, under Crawford Fairbanks, the brewer and boss of the metropolitan police. He is satd to have been the most aggressive of all in the discussion and went so far as to "read the riot act" to one of the three protestant clergymen (Dr. Crum, Dr. Holmes and Dr. Stanley) who are lukewarm in this new crusade, because the elergyman was throwing cold water on the proposed plan of campaign. That was several weeks ago. I had meant to ask after him and learn how his ardor holds out, or If Crawford Fairbanks had sat down on him. Bat this man is theexoeptlon.

The firebug has the roomers In downtown buildings thoroughly frightened. They are tslling a story on a gentleman who has a room on south Seventh street In one of the bniidings where the firebug has been at work. His room-mate was awakened in the night by hearing him moving about the room. Then he struck match and went prowling about snuffing for a scent. He was asked what was the matter and said he thought he had •melled smoke and was looking for a fire. By this time another roomer in the building put in an appearance and wanted to know where the fire waa. He had been awakened by the sound of the striking of the mateh.

Dr. Holmes is opposed to the doctrine that the saloonkeepers are to be presumed to be violators of the*law before the law goes iuto ettect. Nor is he ready, he says, to assume that the police will fail to do their duty. There really is not much in either of these points except occasion

I mean that in all seriousnebs. He is that kind of a man and it is refreshing to know that there ar** many like him. When they are not in the pulpit they are the grangers who meet the nice young men in the city, who overwhelms them with apparent good will and desire to make it pleasant for all coucerned, until the granger believes that this world is not so bad as he bad believed it to be frotn reading the newspapers. And he mentally endorses the old statement that .you can't believe what you read in the newspapers. There is one point in .Dr. Holmes' parti that in itself is enough to have made him "warm." nays: "'It is absurd to put upon youug people a work that belongs to, if private citizens at all, to men of age, influence and power. If our business men and capitalists have too great caution to be drawn into such a work, shall we push our boys and girls into it?"

W. Seymour and Martin J. Russell, both newspaper men of trained ability. Mr. Seymour was the managing editor of the Herald during the years it was making its phenomenal growth in the Chicago newspaper field. Mr. Russell has been

editorial writer for many years. The Chronicle gives evidence of the same good judgment and management that made the Herald a success. It does none of the Barnum blowing that is too common among the big newspapers in the cities, but depends on its merits to attract the people who are not to be fooled by the old time methods of aelf praise. The Chronicle is to be the representative paper of the Democratic party in Chicago and the northwest. Irrespective of its party dootrines It must be said that its editorials are refreshingly vigorous and are written in a manner that leaves no doubt that the paper has on its staff men who are up to date in their work. The managing editor of the new paper is Harry G. Forker, who was Mr.Sey mour's assistant on the Herald for many years. Much of the excellence of that paper is to be credited to him although few persons, outside of Chloago at least, were aware that there was suoh a man in the business. In short, the Chronlole is in the hands of practical newspaper men who do their work in the newspaper office aid not by appearing prominently on public ocon ons.^^

the riders. The pedestrian cannot dodge the wheelman that is a feat that must be considered as impossible but the wheelman can dodge the pedestrian and should be made to do so. The wheelman who is not expert enough to ride over crowded street crossings without being able to avoid pedestrians ought to confine his riding to less crowded thoroughfares until he becomes expert. Collision with a pedestrian ought to be prima facie evidenoe against the rider and the punishment made severe. The ordinance as to lanterns is openly and generally violated but no one cares because ifcis recognized that it would serve no good

There is a little arrangement of my own invention, which many ladies, bicycle riders, have found satisfactory, used to adjust an ordinary skirt to a eomfortable riding length. About eight inches from the belt sew on the seams on the under side of the skirt little brass lings, about the si®e of an old fashioned 6 oent silver pieoe. Then put the rings between the seams, so they are about six or eight inches apart then sew an another row diagonally opposite these rings, about six inches lower down on the skirt Through these rings run a •tout, black, smooth cord, the ends coming out into the pocket on the right side. By polling this string and tying it in a single bowknot., and concealing it in the pocket, the skirt is lifted, for riding. When dismounted, by untying the string and giving the skirt a little shake, it assumes the conventional length. This device is perfectly simple The rings should be sewn on strong and the string smooth.—Mary Sargent Hopkins in

The editor of the Arizona Kicker must have been imported to Terre Haute to make the trip to St. Louis in "Colonel" Smith's party. _______ .There is talk of enforcing the ordin ance requiring bicyclists to carry lanterns at night. It may be because of my peculiar way of looking at this matter, but what good is a lantern on a bioycle to the pedestriau? It simply adds to bis bewilderment when the noiseless machine is coming athwart his pathway at a rapid rate. The pedestrian ought to be belled or carry a lantern. This question as to the right of way would easily be solved by requiring the wheelmen to avoid pedestrians, and I understand that rhi-t

if enforced. If the pur

pose of it is to warn the pedestrian to get out of the way then a bell would be better because in the swerving to one side or the other as is customary with wheelmen the lantern is not readily seen and if a sight of it is caught it is only such as to startle the pedestrian and confuse him.

A Hint to Iticyole Riders.

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAYtjBVENINQ MAIL, JUNE 8,1895.

•Tails Th«m to Le*ve Off JCHwtio Garters and to Avoid overwork at First. One of the up town cycling academies has recantly engaged an expert wheel-

woman

iuatTUctor, and she is al

ready in great demand with its patrons. She is one of the pioneer cyclists and gives only road lessons. "You see," she said to a new pupil the other day, "it is a very good thing to have a woman instructor or two iu an academy, because there are many questions that the women will ask a woman that they wouldn't dream of asking a man."

As an immediate proof of the truth of this statement three girls came rushing up, and one of them said excitedly "Oh, we've been having suoh a discussion in the dressing room and can't settle it among ourselves, so do tell us. Does riding a wheel develop the calf of the leg?" ,* "It most decidedly does," was the reply. "It naturally ($9B& not help the muscles of the arm at all, as they are not exercised. It isn't proper that they should be, as the correct way of riding is to grasp the handle bars of tlio wheel very lightly, but the legs do hard work, and the muscles grow wonderfully hard and the flesh very firm. Then, too, the legs grow after one has ridden regularly for some time Now, I know a woman who has been riding for three years and in that time her legs have inoreosed 8% inches around the calf. "I told you so," said rtn athletic looking girl to her two companions, who were decidedly thin, and they replied in chorus, "Well, we are glad you were right." "You will find after the muscles of your legs begin to strengthen," continued the instructress, "that you will be able to take much longer walks than ever before, and without the slightest fatigue too.'' "I want to ask you about something else," said one of the thin girls. "What makes my garters hurt so while I'm riding?" "What kind do yon wear:,, questioned the instructress. fe: "Elastic." -l $j| "No wonder they hurt you, then.' A woman when wheeling should never

garter her stockings with elastic band^iaohe. 25c. above or below the knees. To begin with, they hinder the action of the knee and make pedaling much harder, and then they hinder circulation, which causes a sharp pain to extend almost the entire length of the leg." "That's inst it," said the "girl with the elastics feelingly. "Every woman should wear elastic hose supporters, fastened either to the bottom of her corset with safety pins or around her waist with a band. Did ycu girls know that elastic bands will ruin the shape of your calves if you persist in wearing them?" f.' Jf "Dear me, npl" exclaiinedx one, and all immediately declared that they had always found them uncomfortable and would renounce them, buckles and all, for hose supporters, "just for the sake of hygiene.''

Some of the other points the instructress gave the women were that a begin"* ner should never ride longer than half an hour a day and should never go more than three miles on her first road lessons. Neither should she get on her wheel until a half hour after eating. If she doesn't attempt fancy figures or racing, she will soon find that even a 40 mile ride will not tire her.—New York Sun.

Women and Children Workers.* Labor Commissioner Wright has prepared blanks for inquiry regarding the employment of women and children in the United States, and will soon put his special agents at work among the leading manufacturing and industrial establishments to obtain data. The inquiry is made purely from the economic side, regarding the number of women employed, their manner of work and pay and the effect upon industry. "jMifg ^V^Care of the Teeth In Summer.

From now throughout all the warmer months one eats more sour vegetables and more fruit As these are bad for the teeth, while generally excellent for the stomach, extra care should be taken in much brushing and care that the lime of the teeth is not eaten into by the acid. After every meal is, not too often to brush the teeth, and it should be conscientiously done while this sort of food is on the table.

Mrs, Eva Austin Weed of Auburn, N. Y., six years ago began practical work QB a topographical draftsman with her father, who is the city engineer. At the Byraonse university in 1889 and 1890 she continned her studies. The following year she worked in the Cooper institute, New York. Last February there was held at the Polytechnic institute in Brooklyn an examination under oivil service rules for fclie position of assistant topographical draftsmen. Of the 108 applicants 40 passed. Mrs. Weed, the only woman, stood first, having a percentage of 94, Another field of labor is thus opened to women, and it seems to be one that thoy may occupy with credit and profit.
