ON THE QUI VIVE.'

The police department, which Is sure to tarn op a sensation at any stage of the game, developed another this week. In connection with the benefit toaseball game played at the park recently between the policemen and firemen. It seems that the receipts were not at first reported In fuH but the balance remaining between the actual amoont collected and that reported was turned over yesterday. Some of the men are pretty sore about the matter even yet, and it is likely that it will be brought to the attention of the police board.

The charities that it was proposed to benefit by ttie big Charity Circus of the Fourth of fuly are not likely to derive much money from tbe'bigshow. The expenses •will run to a sum very much in excess of the amount originally calculated upon, and as a result the Eitee will have to go down into their private exchequer to meet the bills. The truth of the matter

seems

to be that some of

the proposed beneficiaries did very little to realise money from the really big entainment, and as a result they will derive but little benefit from it. The result of the performance has taught some of those who worked very hard for the suocesa of Che show a good lesson. They fwill not work so hard in the future for the success of those who do not appreciate the benefits to be derived from an •entertainment of this character. "Jim" Hunter, who is one of the smartest advertisers in the business, of fered a good suggestion the other day about advertising Terre Haute with the new baseball team. His suggestion was that on the shirts of the players, instead of having the words, "Terre Haut»," the figures, "2:0W should be used, which would give the only racing city on earth an advertisement in every city in which the team appears. The matter was pre sented to Manager Long and (Captain Carney, who said that if new uniforms should tee needed during the present season the suggestion would be oarried out. _____

The board of review will finish up their work next week, and will lower the real estate appraisement several thousand-dollars from the sum that was oriulnally fixed upon by the assessors. It was unequal and unjust as originally made, and it is a good thing that the board of review isoomposed of men who know something of the relative values of real estate and improvements in this olty. The original appraisement laid the bulk of the increase shown on the property owners in a few localities, while those in other favored directions got very inuoh the beat of it. Of course the real estate.was assessed at a comparatively equal proportion, but the improvements were not, as an examination of the records will show.

The Beach' case came to the front again this week in an information filed against the ex-ba»ker by Prosecutor Huston, oharglng bim with embezzlement. The sum involved was only 9160, but as the attempt to .get him within the law's clutches have failed where larger sums were concerned, the prosecutor probably thought it would be better to try him with a smaller sum. The ex banker gave bond very,promptly, and was discharged. He attaches no importance to this matter, and says the prosecution will f|il as it has In the other cases that have been brought against him, and he is probably correct. It is not at all like ly that he will ever be convioted of any of the crimes that have been laid at his doors, and as soon as the courts can get a chance at him he will be discharged.

If the Nloholson bill stands the ordeal of talk it has been subjected to in, the oircult court this week, It may be truly said of it that it has a good, strong constitution. While there is an effort to get the court here to pa** on the measure, it is certain that it will be many months before the Supreme court will act on It, and in the meantime tbe saloons will be opened just the same a* if the Nicholson bill had never been made a law. There •was a great bluff by the police board at an enforcement of the law, but the past few days the saloonkeepers have been notified that as long as the!,* front doors are clouted during the interdicted hotirs there would be no effort to prosecute them. _____ rbo home capitalists who have under taken to put a telephone system In operation, with prices greatly reduced from those at present in force, ought to meet with liberal encouragement. When such well-known men as W. K. McKeen, D. W. Minshall, Robert Geddes, W. P. I jama, H. Hulman and B. F. Havens are behind an enterprise it can be counted on as being all right, and ahould be encouraged. The prices proposed for the use of the new telephone areas follows: Business houses, 930 per year dwellings, *18 per year. The solicitors who are at work are meeting with success, and if the council grants the franchise, as it oertalnly should, we will have a new and cheap telephone service in operation here by the time the snow files. ______

NEWS Of THE CITY.

Landlord Merrltt, of the National, is to pay 13,000 for his first year's rent of that »property and $3,300 a year after that.

Tbe basement under tbe National, at Sixth and Main, which was «ned as a batber shop for so many yoars, is to be utilized for that purpose again. Will £uiith, so long with John Taylor, and a skillful barber, will open a shop there •next Monday, with entire new fixtures aud furnishings.

The beautiful "Charity Oircua" march, TJ imposed by Prof. P. J. Breinig, and dedicated to Manager Hayman, of Naylor's, is meeting with great sucoess, the sales having been very satisfactory. It is a composition of wtrich Mr. Breinig may feel proud, and establishes his rank as a composer of popular*music.

The insurance on Elevator "A," which was destroyed by fire last week, was adjusted this week by the payment of' 58,000 to Bartlett, Kuhn A Co., for grain destroyed, and |9,000 to W, R. McKeen for the building. The destruction of this building will probably hurry tbe ereotion of Bartlett, Kuhn A Co.'s big elevator north of the olty near the piano factory.

Cbarloa E. Garen, proprietor of the New Method Laundry, was the lucky one to win the fine #100 Stearns bicycle offered by

Hornung

*ft Bernheimer to

the person guessing nearest the number of the U. S. treasury note displayed in the window of the enterprising firm named. Mr. Qaren guessed within three of tbe exact number of the note. He is not a bicycle rider,and sold tbe wheel to Theodore Frank.

John Crawford, son of Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Crawford, while trying to climb on a street car Wednesday evening in front of the Terre Haute House, slipped and fell under the wheels of the car, with the result thai his left-ankle was broken in two places. 'It was feared at first that amputation would be, necps sary, but later it was-stated that the foot could be saved, although it is possible that it may cripple him. Young Crawford has been attending Yale college, where be is making a name for himBelf as a bright, energetic young man. He has many friends who sympathize witfi him in this unfortunate occurrence and who trust that he will not be permanently affected.

Miss Florence Damond, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. A. Damoqd, formerly of this city, but now of Chicago was married recently to F. E. Herring, a student at the Chicago university, and one of the leading members of the.university football team, and as a result tbe president of the university has decided that he wtll not be permitted to finish the course. It was said that although there was no rule oa the university statutes prohibiting matrimonial alliances, still the faoulty would feel Itself constrained to discourage anything that would put the university in tbe light of a matrimonial bureau. And now, although th« young student has a beautiful wife, he will have to go elsewhere to finish his education.

Archie Agar, a well-known character about town, and Ed. barker, a comparatively new comer in this city, are behind the bars of the Clay county jail, as a result of an attempt to rob tbe general store of A. F. Kattmaja, of Poland, a small llage a few miles east of Brazil, last Monday night. Charles Shaw, alias Hafi-y Jackson, a Chicago crook who was interested with them in the project, was killed, by the clerk* ia the store, who had been sleeping in the place In anticipation of an attempted robbory. £b%w and Agar were in the act of climb ing through a window which they had forced open, when the clerks opened fire on them, with the result that Shaw was mortally wounded and died in a few minutes, while Agar received several wounds in the face which will not result seriously. Barker held the horses while the others made the attempt to enfer the store, and when tbe clerks opened fire he drove off, but was captured the next morning, and identified by the liverymen from whom the team was hired. Agar's folks In this city are respectable, hard-working people, to whom this disgrace is humiliating. He has served time In the state penitentiary for robbery, and since his release has been noted as one of those persona who can wear good clothes and have spending money all the time, and still never do any work. It is likely that Agar and Barker will both get severe eentenoes for their part tn tbe attempt to rob tbe Poland store, as it has been robbed a number of times, and patience baa been exhausted tn the attempt to secure tbe robbers.

TERRE HAUTE, IND., SATURDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1895.

BAB'S LETTER.

tOopyrlgbt, 1896,]

There is always a time If* the early spring when the woman who has grown .wise through experience, concludes that she will be ready in time for hot weather, and achieve this readiness by arranging about her gowns very early. While the snow is still on the ground, she invests, in swiss muslins, in ginghams, and 1° the pretty cotton fabrics that go to make up the wardrobe of the summer woman. Then she hies herself to a dressmaker. She is greeted with joy, and told, with muoh sweetness, that if she will send all her gowns at once and give a few hours to a thorough fitting, she needn't bother any more, and that when the warm days come, because of her wisdom in taking time by tbe forelock, she will be gowned like a Illy of the field and will be able to say to her less wise sdster: "Look at my frockandbeunhappy 1" The dressm a ker, who incites tbe female iniDd to this socalled wisdom, is usually short, plump and of Milesiam birth. She is flattering in manner and profuse in compliments.

Occasionally she asks for a l|ttle money In advance. WHIMSICAIi ®®BSSWiiKEB9.

But to return to the woman. On the first day of July she will have the pleasure of knowing that, after she has scolded, written, telegraphed and even prayed, the scissors of the wily dressmaker have never even been put into the frock of her innocent self. And there are wom«n who receive this treatment every year. Apd there are people who every year cry, ••"Lo, the poor dressmaker!" Now, there «re women who are at oncd dressmakers and good business women, but the average mt^iiste deserves to have a string around her neck with a large -stone attached to the other end, and to be lowered to the bottom of the deep blue sea. Theory that ought to go up should be this, "Lo, the poor woman who depends on a dressmaker." Men wouldn't aland suoh treatment from their tailors. A woman' has to kou-tou, persuade, be amiable aud admire the dressmaker's appearance, her eyes, her hair, her family and at onoe recognise and respeot the blue blood that appears whenever she pricks her finger if she wishes her frock.

It is- altogether likely that you see something that suits your complexion in the way of stuff, tnat suits your pocketbook, and in which, joy of joys I you feel sure you will please the dearest boy in the world. The man of your heart listens to a lovely story about the color and width of that material, the fact that yo« selected .it because you knew he would like it, and theu you tell him of the trijasui you have discovered who is to make it. His birthday happens to come on.Sunday, apd this wonderful frock Is to be worn on that day. The day comes, and although you look very nlee, it suddenly dawns on the man of your heart that you had expeoted to appear like the Queen of Sheba, and that somehow you didn't come up to the expectation. And he asks tirhy. Of course, it is the old, old story. She, with a pronounced emphasis on the she, after promising to give you that frock ahead, disappointed you she hasn't sent it at all, and she snubbed you dreadfully when you asked if you couldn't have it, and gave you to understand that when she exerted herself it was for people who had really expensive gowns, and who had a great many made, as if you could help not having the Bank of England to back you. Home day you get the frock, hut it is never what you expected, and life goes on, and it is full of frocks and full of disappoint- $. ments.

TERMS errWfcaxY.c. o. D.

However, all that Is going to be changed, nowadays. About two year® ago a girl who is a howling swell, bad the misfortune to lose her money, but she was as plucky as she was pretty, and so she concluded to open a shop. She hired a first-class milliner, and had it distinctly understoood that, while the beet of materials would be used, and every effort made to please people, her terms were strictly C. O. D. She is going to be married now, and sell ont to her partner, for she has made a sucoess of her work, and she made it, because, having suffered from tbe unbusinesslike methods of milliners and dressmakers, she made It a rule in her establishment that promises made were to be kept. Another bright woman, who was making a poor living, at painting picture*, idealized that there was room for a dressmaker who would ask reasonable priess and keep her word. She advertised extensively, stated h& prices, which were fair and announced that a frock would be turned out in a week. She hired a number of competent workers, and today she la making plenty of money. A few years will aee her retire, and then ahe will paint pictures for pleasure. Bat this woman insists oa the O. O. rale, and no matter who tbe customer, la, tbe law stands—no money, no gown.

This la printed upon her business paper, and her customers are ao Informed, In tbe same way, that aay frock, requiring alterations, must be returned within three days. This woman ta as businesslike aa a man's tailor, ooneequently hers BOOMS Is easily andentood.1 asked

her it people ever tried to get frocks without paying for them she said, occaaionaily, but if any woman took a frock from one of her girls, and did not give her the money, she acted promptly, and pent a polioeman at once to demand, either the money or the frook.

I am a believer in beautiful gowns, and tbe woman who is not has something wrong in her general make-up. It is a part of a woman's life to look her best. And although I have beard women say that they don't dress for men, I think it is all nonsense. It may bet hat meb don't look at tbe details of dresses, but they are influenced by the general effebt, and they are very quick to notice uritimness. There are women so laoking i*,., womanly knowledge that tbey never get becoming gowns. There is the flit-chested woman, who looks utter ly shapeless, and who says, "No I will have nothing done to my gown ai'd I won'|t lace."

FBBFBR A NATURAL FIGUBE."

Now, when the natural figure is hideous art should come to tbe rescue, and the .wise dressmaker is the one who pays no attention to this nonsensical chatter, Jbut who carefully Inserts just enough cotton to make curves where there are angles, and makri that w^poan look more feminine and less hobbledehoy. ^Eheh there is the otber woman with tbe flrey red face, who Will wear a bright blue frook. What does she want? Either red or black. Red will tone down the color in her face, and so will black. Then, too, there 1* the woman with pronounced features, who, for some unknown reason, blects that her bodice shall be decorated in miniature buttons. On these buttons a~e the acesof women whose features are perfect, and somebody is bound to recognize and find ludicrous the contrast. Ihe woman with the long chin or long nose should learn j.o hold her head back, so that these features are not made moie prominent. She ?with ugly teeth should smile but never laugh so that they show, while the woman with dumpy hands must stick religiously to dark gloves, leaving the light ontn to the possessors of long, slender fin^ures.

The artist in dress chooses a.vell with a thin mesh, and rather small dots on it the large ones, a great distance apart, bftvp the effect of black splotches on the fac6,. and if a dot happens to land upon one eye and another on the tip of one's nose, the effect is ridiculous, a something that a woman can never afford. The blonde can revel.advantageously In pale yellow, the very oolor of the spring sun shine, while the brunette, because of her rioh color and glossy hair, may put on pale blue, that exquisite color only becoming to the perfect brunette, the angel child, and those other angels with wings, harps and perfect complexions. The blonde, already cold, is made to look colder and moie colorless when she asspmes blue. The woman who is stout should never wear a tailor-made suit. She needs fullness to oonceal her extra flesh. She whose foot Is badly shaped should beware of a white shoe, or a velvet slipper. The woman with a long siender foot may assume the velvet sllpiper, buti she must have a very high rosette to conceal her lack of instep.

AUTISTIC DRESSING.

The woman who dresses well is the one who utilizes her belongings to accentuate her virtues and conceal her defects. Unless a neck is beautiful it should be covered, and it is just as well to remember that if the skin of the neck Is dark, a black bodice will make it look almost as black as the proverbial devil. It should never be forgotten that the arm of the average woman Is ugliest from, the elbow down, and so there should be a charitable frill of lace, or chiffon, attached to every elbow sleeve, that sleeve which used to be the abhorrence of Worth* She whose waist is large must wear a blaok belt and a small buckle. The small woman must forswear tbe large hat which extinguishes her, while, the large one must give up the little bonnet which tends to make ben head look silly. Once you have discovered the style of coiffure best suited to your face, choose it for life, no matter what the fashion may be it will give you a certain individuality, and you will know that, artistically, you are always correct. That movable background, tbe parasol, may be white, black or scarlet, but blue Is never advised, and yellow is seldom becoming. A pale pink will give you a dainty flush, but with it the gown worn must be pink also.

The knots of ribbon on your pink or blue cotton gown should be black, while gray demands pink ribbons brown, pale yellow, and white, ecru. Your sleeve and your collar will, this year, either make or mar your bodice. A long sleeve must not be too long and a very short one had better be omitted altogether. business woman can, least of all, tfibrd to overlook tbe value of drees, bat her gowns mast be exquisitely simple, wad no matter how many diamonds she posMMaea, they must never be introduced to the office. Velvet la the ideal gown for a matron, and nothing more elegant can bo dreamed ol than a heliotrope velvet visiting toilet made magnificent with rich buttons. Upon this material Worth pat button* $f the finest oat steel, and tbe eftoot was superb. CJotton may be

dainty velvet or silk are elegant while all wool materials have for their adjeo tive, the word, suitable. I should as Boon think of talking about an "elegant grave" as I should about an eiegant cot ton dress, and yet women occasionally make this mistake. As we accumulate years it becomes possible for us to wear rioh fabrios. Simplicity attaches itself only to the beaute de diable.

WHAT MAN K»OWS^:X^T«'

A babble about frocks? Well, my friend, even if you are a man, you must oonfess that you like to see a woman well dressed, and I mustconfess that men have very good idea about women's clothes. The£ like rich fabrics. Velvets appeal to them, and yet they know when these materials are improperly worn. They know when a woman is properly dressed for tbe street, or for a dinner party, and they are equally clever In their criticisms. They like laces, and they appreciate the frou frou elleott* that are so essentially womanly. 1er yet saw a man who encouraged a woman in the wrapper habit. They seem to Know that the loose, ungraceful garment, worn outside of the bedroom, is the first step toward untidiness of dress and speech. Man is not a bad crtiio. He may be ignorant of ways and means, but he can judge results. As be seldom overdresses, he is bitterly opposed to it, and doesn't like the woman who rules his heart to attract attention by loudness in her clothes, or her manners. It has been a pet belief of mine that women are large ly influenced, morally, by their gowns. It would be impossible for a woman to be free and easy in velvet and rose point, and it would be equally impossi ble for ber to grieve in pink satin, or dance the minuet in black orape Who could be dignified in a cotton frock made frivolous with many ribbons? Who could be businesslike in swiss muslin? And who could be a Suffragist in a white tulle loopeJ with roses? jj||

WIDE D1VKF.8ION OF TASTES

Generalizing, the Amerioan woman is a good dresser. The French dressmakers claim that she lacks originality, but that she takes the best and assimilates it to herself. The English woman, inclining to simplicity, is afraid to suggest, and depends largely on her dressmaker. She dreads being conspicuous, and yet she wants to look well. The Russian woman 1b a good dresser, and a French modiste says of her that she is the most critical as far as her bills are ooncerned, but that she always pays promptly. He Is bitterest toward the Italian. Of ber, he says that she is hard to please, when dressed no credit to him, and very poor pay. Generalizing again, I think American women are honest. I'wish I could say the same of tbe general dressmaker, who doesn't find it necessary to be honest either in words or deeds.

The woman who doesn't care for her appearance, who isn't interested in frocks, in bonnets, in coats and hats, in parasols and gloves, in handkerchiefs and fans, is the woman who belongs to no century and who is in the minority. She is not feminine, therefore she is not interesting. Men don't like her, women don't find her companionable. She is a mistake. And there is no place for her either In heaven or on the earth, though there may be In the water under the earth. She is not approved of by men by women, and certainly not by BAB

This is the only really big meeting at whioh these popular prices will prevail, and when it is considered that the raoeahere will equal in sport and interest. those of the biggest high priced meetlogs of tbe year, it would seem that the attendance should be something phenomenal.

The entries referred to above are from, the leading stables of tbe oountry, and while many of the horses named are comparatively new ones, judging from the way they are starting out in theother meetings they are bound to eclipse all eflorts of the old timers in formerseabons.

The trouble has been that we have had the strong teams all to begin with, when if we bad hadaohanco at the others, who are not so well up inu the race, we would have won gomegames and created a better feeling among those who patronize the sport. We have a strong team, whose playing gives satisfaction, but the fact is that we. have had none of the luck that 1B suohan important factor in the national' game. With the smallest iota of luck we would have won all three of the Kansas City games, in which the home team demonstrated the faot that they know how to play ball. Yesterday's game with the .Miiwaukees resulted in tbe Terre Hautes winning by a score of 7 to 4. To-morrow the same clubs play again, when is expected that the largest crowd will be attracted to the park that ever witnessed a game here, even surpassing tbe attendance of last Sunday, 2,200, which broke all previous records. We have a good team in the next to the most important league in the country, and while the team has been playing in hard luck it has demonstrated the fact that it can play ball, and should be encouraged. The Sunday games are called at three o'clock, while the week-day games are called at four.. Next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday we will have the Minneapolis/'Millers,, and with the faintest sort of a show of luck we ought to be able to win two out of three of these games.
