MAN ABOUT TOWN.

The growth of the city or the growth of the desire to ride in tie equipages, or maybe both, was made apparent recent ly when soinetpeople who have known personally and well all the carriage owning population of the city up to this year counted a half dozen new style carriages 'or traps within a half houi', the occupants of which were unknown to them.

There is a demand for better regulations in the postofflce Sunday morning. There is no getting into line and callers at the windows of the terriers are served accordingly as thcv push past other persons.

The proposed Deming livery stable bas made almost as muoh of a sensation as the quarrel among the s. There is a great deal of personal prejudice in the comments that are being made but it won't do to take it for granted that Mr. Deming wants to put a livery stable between the High School and the new First Method'st church "just for meanness." He may have an altogether different idea as to whether or not the stable would be a nuisance. You can't always judge correctly of a person's motive* unless you make allowance for the fact that it i« possible other persons may look at things dilierently from the way you view them. Over in Indianapolis some years ago there was a movement against Congressman Frank Landers' pork house on the ground that it was a nuisance and the town talked a good deal about it. Land era' only remark was that "any man who don't like the amell of a hog Is a leetle too nice to live."

It is said that Budd Doble left here sooner than be bad expeoted to do so, and be took everything with him this time, not leaving any horses or property at the stables on the ground* where he ha* headquarter*, wiuter and summer, for a number of years. He moved from here to Cleveland. John Dickerson moved into the stables vacated by Doble.

The list of contributors to the support of Protestant churches, and the amount of their contributions to each ohurcb, who receive any part of their money through the sale of liquor, wholesale or retail, would be mighty interesting reading about this time. A good deal of such money finds its way into the church treasuries of Terre Haute, and perhaps more is going in right now than ever before.

It is said to be a fact thai Heldenreich made money on but one of bis .Terre Haute contracts, which is not according to common impression. Yet those who know say it is the truth.

The council has been asked to abate a smokestack nuisance. If the counoll once enters upon this the performance of this task it will find that It can be kept busy in that line all summer.

Some months ago when Dr. Holmes wrote his first card in Terre Haute in which he criticised the Butler university professor for his lecture at the Normal Man About Town remarked that he knew what he wanted to say and how to •ay it. When he fired the shot at the Nicholson movement recently heevinced the same ability in the use of words to convey thought, but his last card, the one in which he retired from the controversy, is wobbly and weak. He devoted a great deal of it to the Rev. R. V. Hunter, personally, whioh, of course, pleased the many who dislike that pugnacious preacher. There is one thing to be said in favor of the Rev. Hunter, whatever else his friends may like in his ways, and that Is everyone knows where he stands In any controversy. If he is in a wrong position he Is in plain sight. That iff very much to a man's credit. The rale is that It is difficult to tell where a man is "at." There area good many persons interested in this row as to whether or not a law shall be enforoed, whose opinions on the questions are as various as are their personal business relations and this is particularly true of some church people who have personal and buslaeas relations with men who, because of their sincere conviction, or because they gain revenue directly or indireotly from the liquor business are opposed to the enforcement of the law. And you can't always tell whether a man is opposed to the law on conscientious grounds or because some one Is pulling the string. There is a good deal of pulling of strings, and by men who would be ashamed in the presence of their own sooial set to have It known they were engaged In creating •enUment in opposition to the law for

money they might make directly or Indirectly, I have abetter opinion uf the man behind the bar or the professional gambler than the man who gets money from the same aouroes and yet carries himself as on® who is above such oecu pations.

The day the preaohera brought their public controversy to a olose the street railway people took up the old quarrel. This was caused by the order of the council to remove the rails the Harrison oompany placed in the street In about fifty localities iu the city to prevent the new, or Crawford, company from building a railway. The rails were put down last Deoember, but nothing was done toward extending the lines. One surmise as to the reason why the oouncll ordered the spurs removed was that the Crawford oompany was about ready to lay a few miles of traok. Yesterday morntng the Harrison people began hauling new rails to streets where it is said the oompany intends to build lines Superintendent Burke insists that the company is dealing with the city in good faith, and thatit is being hamp red by those who really ought to be lurking after the oity's best interests. The company notified Street Commissioner Jackson that if he took up the spurs he would do so at his peril, and that the city would be held liable. He had taken up but a few rails when he received this notice, and then he stopped, although the oouncll told him to remove the obstructions.

Superintendent Burke told me that he was sorry Man About Town was antagonizing Harrison. I said to him that tbtre was no antagonism that the trouble with Harrison was that he wanted everyone to be on bis side and wanted his way in everything, and that there was such a thing as telling news that was news and yet displeasing. In the newspaper business you can count upon being about right if both sides in such a quarrel as the one Harrison and the old light oompany are engaged in are dis-, pleased with what you write. It was an ola

1:

tor who used to say that a big

strike the most diffloult news to handle butt newspaper found that both the strikers #nd the employers complained of the reports the chances were that they gave the general reader for whom they were intended about the truth of the situation. There is something of the same feeling that Burke referred to among the anti-Nicholson law people. They can't understand why it i* that anyone can see all sides of the situation. They are intoleraut and they are influential in this community, as I have heretofore remarked, and perhaps that is the reason that not a dally newspaper has contained an editorial on the 11 vest local public question that has been before the people of Terre Haute. I doubt if there is anther city in the United States where such a state of affairs could obtain. It is that condition of sentiment which will make futile any permanent effect of the work of the civic federation of course, for a time it may appear to be doing something but the big Influence in Terre Haute is against it and whatever the daily newspapers may think about this public ques tlon they are not saying anything.

One day this week the Gazette printed what purported to be the true story of Pro'essor McTaggart's resignation from the Normal school, and when I read it I was puzzled to understand how the paper got the story perverted in such a peculiar manner. While telling nothing to his discredit, yet It left a bad impression of his position in the affair. In the first part of the article It was said by the Gazette that it hoped he wonld be retained that he was a first-class citizen, etc., but the story of the resignation which followed read as if it had not been inspired (if written) by the same person who wrote the introduction. It told how the professor resigned and was expostulated with by President Parsons, and that he then withdrew his resignation. Then there was a rearrangement of salaries by whioh his was decreased, and he again resigned. Then it is naively told that he became an applicant for the princlpalship of the High School at a lower salary than the one he had been receiving at the Normal, all of whioh, of course, plaoed him in a peculiar attitude before that portlonjof the public which does not koow the inside story. Trof. McTaggart wrote to the (iaaette the next day that he had told Mr. Button that he could not be considered as an applicant for the fprlnoipalshlp of the High Sobool at thelamount which the Gazette story gave. Furthermore, the resignation which he withdrew was sent to President Brigga, of the board of trustees. The professor did not tell it, but It can be told that when It was learned that he was"" ered by the old sohool board for the High Sohool position the board was hurriedly surrounded by influences that caused an Immediate special meeting and secured the election of Prof. Meek. 1 happened to stumble on that bit of wire pulling at the time, and was amused at the dexterity with which two birds were killed with one stone. As to the readjnstment of salaries, of course the board Is supposed to know its own business, but It so happened In that readjustment that the salaries of those who are popularly known about the institution as pets were not lowered, and that of Prof. McTaggart, with two or three times as many students under him, suffered the reduction. km

A CIRCUS OF WHALES

CAPT. BAKER HAD A REMARKABLE EXPERIENCE AFTpR A LONG VOYAGER

The Good Ship Bans Into a Veritable Sohool of Whale*—Goes Agronnd on Some Miles of Forpol»e»—A Prise Fl»b

Story.

Oaptain J. Q. Baker of the four masted steel ship Kenilworth ia a man of undoubted veraoity and is both sober in his judgment and his habits. This statement is due the bluff skipper, for he brings to port willi him a fisli story of heroio proportions, such a one as will make the ordinary sea serpent yarn seem quite trivial in comparison.

The Kenilworth dropped anchqr in New York bay after a run of 90 days and 13 hours from Honolulu, having covered nearly 16,000 miles. She brought 8,998 tons of sugar, the first cargo to make alike triptotfeat port in nearly 20 years. -.

The ship was about 150 miles east of Cape Henlopen at 2 o'clock on Monday afternoon. It was then that a school of -whales was sighted about a mile away on the starboard quarter. Captain Baker declares there were 20 of them, of varying sizes. Some of them were splashing the water and playing a sort of deep sea leap frog. Others were doing a series of giant acrobatios which would make the fortune of any summer resort. Captain Baker is usually an unimpressionable man, but as he watched the demonstration he exclaimed, "Great gosh!"

But that wasn't the only surprise he was to meet. At night the good ship sailed into a strange looking sea. It was out up into small hummocks, and when the Kenilworth trembled and shook and jolted the bo's'n said, "We're gone ashore." But he was wrong. Captain Baker's keen eye at once discovered that the ship had sailed into a great area of porpoises.

Porpoises, porpoises as far as the eye could reach—papa porpoises, mamma porpoises and all the little porpoises, who were "blowing" themselves and making merry. It seemed as though the ship was riding on their backs. Then the moon came up, and Captain Baker says he never before saw such a sight in his life. The backs of the fish showed before him in glistening, spray dashed acres. It seemed, "said he,'' as though we had run aground on porpoise^1'

A stiff breeze sprang up just before morning, and the Kenilworth drew away from the fish.

But still there was more in store for Captain Baker. He has sailed tije sea for many years, but he solemnly avows that he never saw rttcb a whale as \vas sighted c3 Bur^cgat on Tuesday afterncc-. IJ: just to ltcv:r.rd and lashing the sea and spouting in an awesome manner. It was of the sperm species, and the captain says that at a conservative estimate it must .have been at least 100 feet long.

Captain Baker told his story fn the office of D. B. Dearborn. Mr. Dearborn is the agent for Arthur Sewell of Bath, Me. ^pwner of the ship. The Kenilworth was formerly a British craft and was built in 1887 at Port Glasgow. She was burnejl in San Francisco a few years later, and then Mr. Sewell bought and rebuilt her.—New York Herald. a

A lively Otter.

On Sunday last, as Mr. Alfred S. Babylon of Frizzelburg, Carroll county, Md., was sitting in the yard of his homo, a large otter entered and attacked his dog, which it whipped in a few seconds. In fighting, the animal stood on its hind legs, biting savagely with its sharp teeth. As soon as the dog was whipped the otter turned its attention to Mr. Babylon and attacked him, giving him a hard fight, in which he found great difficulty in avoiding its teeth, but he finally succeeded in killing it. It weighed 26 pounds, and the skin, which is a fine one, will be stuffed and kept as a trophy. No one had ever seen an otter around Frizzelburg before.—Baltimore Sun.:

V, Struck Twice la the Same Flam, The old theory that lightning never strikes twice in the same place or the same object is stoutly refuted by William Tussick of West Chester, Pa. The other night be* had been in bed half an hour when lightning struck his house, ran down the wall on the inside, picked him up and threw him out of bed to the floor. It was no gentle hand which used him thus, and it was some time before he recovered from the shock. Lightning seems determined to secure Mr. Tassiok for a victim. About 20 years ago be was struck and knocked insensible by & bolt, but was all right again in few days.—Philadelphia Record.

^Philadelphia's Ancient Lookup, An old English dungeon has been brought to light by the tearing down of a building in the rear of a pickle factory on Spruce street, below Second. The building is thought to have been more than 800 years old. Every brick in it was brought from England, and the building was once the pride of the little oolony that lived here. It was originally, it ia said, the courthouse of the settlement, and underneath the ground were those dungeons or cells in whioh prisoners were kept. It is supposed that the cells were used as temporary places of confinement, and not for prisoners serving long terms, much the same as the "lockups" or station houses of today. The brioks are as solid as in the days of old and will be used again in another building. The old house has been burned out several times, but the walls were never damaged much. The whole neighborhood is an interesting one. The building adjoining the one torn down has a fourth floor, which is windowlees. Instead of the usual windows it has portholes, slanting downward, fro which, "in days of old, when iaiights wore bold," men probably picked

Bacteriology of the

Dr. B. Fischer, bacteriologist of the 1894 Plankton expedition, in his report on the "Microbes of the Sea," says that microbes capable of gerinination are everywhere to be found in sea water except at great depths. They are more numerous in the Canary, Florida and Labrador currents than they are in either the Guinea or equatorial currents. They were not detected with certainty in the ooze of the ocean's bed, but were abundant at all aepths shallower than 1,800, and some were found at a depth of 8,500 feet. Like the bacteria of the different diseases, those of the rcean are found in all shapes and forms, the spiral predominating. Nearly all were found provided with hooks or suckers, and om large family are reported.asbeing phos-. phorescent.

Her§ is a good'story illustrative of the prosaic nature on which art makes no impression:

In Westminster abbey there i^a large marble tablet in memory of a famous bishop. It is a basrelief, representing the bishop—a portrait—in the agony of death, sinking into the arms of an allegorical fei mle figure, presumably intended for the angel of death.

It is said that an aged couple from the country were being shown round the abbey, and pausing long before the tablet the old lady remarked to her husband "That's a good likness of the bishop, but," regarding the angelic personage Relatively, "it's a very poor one of Mrs. —5—. I knew her well, and she didn't look like that."—Boston Traveller.
