ON THE QUI VIVE,

Thequery propounded last week as to whether tbeCivlc Federation would be a subject for discussion when Revs. Holmes and Hunter got their feet under the banquet board last Saturday night, remains unanswered for the reason that they didn't get their feet together under the festive board. Re*. Hunter wasn't present, and the public Is yet uninformed as to whether the reverend gentlemen, under tie exhilarating effect of one of Manage? Baur's elegant spreads, could forget the troubles they have been having, and bridge the chasm that has been yawning between them.

Gambling has been stopped in tbeoiey of Terre Haute, so we are Informed, but Saturday night a gnroe was la progress on south Fourth street, so clo«e to police headquarters that the click of the poker chips could almost bo heard there. True, the gamblers were arrested and some of them fined, but If they had been smart enough to get far eoough away from headquarters so that they couldn't have been heard they might hay^ beenjgtag Ing yet. $ :l $ The police commissioners worked themselves into a perfect gate of virtuous

Indignation this week, over the division of the proceeds of the ball game between the policemen and firemen, in which it was charged that three of the policemen bad held out^p portion of the money unfairly. The men were yanked up before the board, and received a severe lecture on their indiscretion, as it was termed. The action of the board Is a fair sample of the management of the police depart ment. The men are either guilty of

wrong doing or they are not guilty. If guilty they should have been discharged forthwith, and if not guilty the police commisslonera did them a grave injustice in suspending them for thirty days without pay. If the commission er» were as alert in some other respects as they are in the petty things that arise in the management of the department, the peop|e would not feel, as they do now, that the whole thing Is a roar ing farce. _____

The county board of review finished its bu«ine#» audadjournad day evening, to the eminent satisfaction of the many property owners of this city, who received muoh fairer treatment at the hands of the members of that board than at the hands of the township assessor, who 1s supposed to make the assessment of real and per sonal property, but who evidenced in the assessment he made that he knew but little about it. Had the assessment he made been permitted to Btand, there would have been the greatest howl gone up from property owners in certain localities ever known. It la not ignorance, altogether, that led to the unequal assessments that were made in some instances, for assessments were allowed to stand after those who made the assess ments had realized that an injustice had been done. Although the figures are not in a condition to make a satisfactory estimate, it is certain that the reduction made will aggregate in the neighborhood of a million and a half dollars, leaving the total about what the assess ment was last year. The township assessor Is not satisfied at the action of the board of review, and will appeal to the state board in the effort to have bis asaessment restored. He objected to the action of the board in lowering the assessment of D. W. Minshall's house on Cherry street frum $20,000 to #17,000, and also in lowering ibe Hulman building at Ninth and Main, from $100,000 to $75,000, and will make a great efiort to have these with his general assessment stand. It Is not likely, however, that the work of such a board as we have had In this county will be overturned by the efforts of a township assessor like the one who is trying to undo the board's work.

The local lodge of Elks has challenged the Kvansvllle lodge to a series of games of base ball, to be played in the two cities, and the sport resulting from the ohallenge Is expected to be very exhilarating. Recently the lodges of Elks in Muncie and Anderson engaged in a game of this kind, and played to a crowd of two thousand persons, the Muncie lodge running an excursion train and carrying a crowd oi five hundred to Anderson, where the game was played. The old time rivalry between Evansvllle and Terre Haute would be sure to crop out in these games, which would-be as exciting as games between the respective professional eiubs, although perhaps minus some of the professional skill. One of the rales of the games will be that only members of the Elks will be permitted to participate, and "ringers" will thus be ruled out.

BASS BALL,

The Terre Haute club has made a better record for itself this week, winning two out of three games with the very strong Minneapolis team. Monday's game was won by the locals by a score of 8 to 1, Tuesday the visitors won by a score of 3 to 2, and on Wednesday the Terre Hautes won again in a very exciting contest, 4 to 3. The sport this week has been the very best that base ball lovers have ever seen In this city,

demonstrate* the fact that we have fey long odds the strongest team that b»« ever been located here. On Thursday thn -hingtou league team stopped off her« gtve an exhibition of how not to play bail, the locals wluniog by a score of 27 to 10. The same evening the Terre Hautes left for a trip that will keep tl^em away until August 4th, when they will return for one game with the Detroits, after which they will go away for a series of six games, returning then for a series of twenty-four straight games on the home grounds. They played at Kansas City yesterday, the result of the game being: Terre Haute, 3 Kansas City, 9 The standing Of the league to-day is as follows:

MR. M'KEEN'S CANDIDACY. The proposed oandidacy of W. R. Mo Keen for the position of United States Senator, to succeed Senator Voorhees, in case the Republicans are successful in electing the legislature next year, la attracting attention all over the state, and many of the prominent men are, unsolicited, taking up the cause of the Terre Haute man. The Anderson Times, of whloh John O: Hardesty Is the editor, this week gives the following send-off to Mr. McKeen:

The people of Indiana ought to look with favor upon the suggestion which is coming from level-headed Republicans all over the state tiittt W. R. MoKeen of Terre Haute should be the next senator from Indiana— the successor of his fellow-townsman, Daniel W. Voornees. Mr. McKeen may not think so of himself, but it is a fact nevertheless, that

fullest sense, and the long felt want.of the United states is men of that kind in her legislative halls. After all the congress has more to do with the making and unmaking of permanent prosperity of the country than all the other oranches of the government combined. And its the thinking kind, like Mr. McKeen, and not the talking kind like the Peflers, and some others we know of, who formulate the laws relating to finance, to commerce and to labor that live and last. And speaking of labor, which is now one of the most important and interesting questions in its relation with capital to be legislated on and lor, reminds the Times that Mr..McKeen's record as one of the employes in the west, Is one that labor is as proud of as Mr. McKeen can b% to thiSiXe^oect ifeg And what a happy political coincident It would be if the same elec'lon should select a rtial to Mr. McKeen to the gubernaought there is no suggestion ofac6alition of interests. Each man Is strong enough to stand alone in his aspirations.

The Times-Herald, of Chicago, in a recent letter from this city, says some very nice things about W. R. McKeen and his candidacy. The best part of it is that the nice things are all deserved by a man who stands higher in the esteem of Terre Hauteans, irrespective of party, than perhaps any other resident of the city. Judge Taylor, at the Leech•

Hoimes-Crum banquet at the

Terre Haute last

Saturday

night, ex

pressed the prevailing sentiment in his party, when he said that while of course he would not wish for a Democratic defeat in the next election, it would have its ameliorating circumstances if It resulted in the election of such a worthy and popular man as W. R. MoKeen to the position of United States senator. The Times Herald correspondent says of him: "His whole career In party affairs ba«* been so free from selfish motives that now when there Is talk of him for senator Republicans in all parts of the state are taking up the suggestion with enthusiasm. In every locality there is some Republican who, at one time or another in the last twenty-five years, has met him at Indianapolis, where he was consulting with the cant paign managers or advising with his party friends in the legislature, and every man who met him has a lively reoollt ction of his hearty good will toward all Republicans and zealous efforts in behalf of his party ticket."

The Chicago 400, a swell society paper, in its July number publishes the portrait of Miss Bertha Epplnghousen, daughter of Charles Epplnghousen, formerly of this city, and has the following to say of the young lady, who is shown to be a beauty: "I hare space simply to refer In the briefest way to the types of beauty that adorn the opening pages of The 400 this month. The first, that of Miss Eppinghoosen, the well known South 8ide belle, proves eloquently that Chicago has nothing to ask of London and its Langtrys, New York and its Murray Hill misses, or the South, where beautiful belles are legion. Apropos, Chicago la not unlikely to be called upon to surrender Miss Epplnghousen to the South before long—Louisville having bidden successfully, it is whispered, for her as a representative, although I am not at liberty to quote even rumor. Miss Bp pinghousen visited In Louisville last spring, the guest of tier sister, lira. Oeollia Epplnghousen Bailey, the noted Southern prima donna, and made a sensation by her unoonacioua beauty and *tyle.»

Bishop Cleveland Coxe has a bitter dislike to the riding of bicycle* by women. Some one began to speak to him lately of **a lady on a bicyole," but he said impatiently: "Sir, you never aawa lady on a bioyole, and never will."

The trouble In the polled department •over the distribution of £h$ proceeds of the police firemen game of base ball recently was settled on Wednesday, when the police board, after an Investigation of the matter, suspended the men charged with participation in the matter, Capt. Pieroe and Patrolmen Lintz and Reinhard, for thirty days, without pay, The policemen who wore thus suspended olatm that injustice has been done them In charging that they withheld the money for any dishonest purpose*. They say the money was withheld with the knowledge of some of the men who made the trouble, for the reason that the firemen did nothing to realise anything for Hie game, aa thsy refused to sell any tldk^ta and the policemen sold the tickets, advertised the game, and It fact did ftWytfeiog fcin*k*'lt suooms, while the, firemen did absolutely nothing. They say that Oapt. Pierce has been misrepresented, also, It that It was said that be agreed that the firemen were not to sell tickets but were to get half of the reoeipts just the same. H« says that no such agreement was mad*, and when it wa* discovered that the firemen were doing nothing to make the game a financial success it wa* understood that part of the proceeds were to be withheld for the police force, to be dlvided afterward*, beoaoae the latter had doneeveryfhixtg to make the game a go. Tbey say,

very truthfully, too, that if they had held out the money with any dishonest perposes, that they, are not entitled to hold a place on the po!ice force, and it follows that as it was not proved that they did it dishonestly, the board was hardly justified In giving them any punishment.

The police authorities have very wisely decided to put a stop to the sale of the Polloe Gazette and 4The Indianapolis People, the latter a sensational paper that is worse thm the Sunday Sun, the sale of whioh was stopped here some time ago. The police authorities of Richmond stopped the sale of the People several weeks ago, under the provisions of an act of the ia*t legislature, making it an offense to publish or sell literature the chief characteristic of which is a record of the commission of obscene acts, eto. The penalty for the commission of an offense of this kind i3 a fine of not less than $10 nor mora th»n $200.

Considering the faot that the association Is not in it for gain, the managers are oertainly most liberal. But they work on the principle thit in giving these meetings they are advertising the olty, and that every person In the oity derives some benefit from the money spent in getting them in shape, and from the money spent by the horsemen and others who come hero to attend them. The people of Terre Haute and surrounding towns have always been very liberal in their patronage of the race meetings held here year after year, and have come to look upon them as one of the leading Institutions, not only of Terre Haute, but of the western country. Everybody has heard more or less of Terre Haute races, and everyone who love* a good horse aod like* to witness trial* of speed In whioh the best horses win, always looks forward to our meet log* with. more than usual Interest. This year the sport provided for the lovers of good racing oould not be exexiled. The classes have been arranged with care, and the entries are both numerous and select, Our grounds are the most b**utlful and complete in the country they can he reached by the electric street cars, which land passenger* at the main entrance, or by the Vandalia railroad, whioh has a station on the north side within a few yard* of the gate. Our hotel accommodations are ample and of the best quality, while private boarding houses within reach oan take care of several thousand persona. Add to these the faot that arrangements have been made for half fare rate*, during both meetings, on all n|ne line* of railroad centering here, and it looks as though theae meetings *hould be a good suooeas from every point of •tow.

ABOUT WOMEN.

It is said that Mrs. Cleveland spendsless than $1,000 a year for her wardrobe. With all her beautiful new gowns and her faultless aud never failing freshness in every detail of costume, that bespeaks a genius for management in the mistress of the White House that is Jeffersonian and commendable

You must not say "teas" or •'receptions" any more. The new fford for all the smart crushes Is "raout," whioh ii» former times was oalled "rout" in the» best English society. It is somewhat of a Yankee twang, but large and fashionable gatherings must not mind that sinceParls Insists on the new old term.^

Statistics and sociological faots are not uninteresting, and the last noticed was that "out of 100 widowers whomarry again, 12 marry their housekeepers." The only inference to b»* drawn therefrom is that a widower has a keen idea of his ow» oomfort, and finds an economical wife more congenial than an expensive housekeeper.

Say or think what you like of the

Serv nts' wages in England are muoh less than here. The total expenditure for wages in a'family keeping thrQQ servants is shown by the expense account of a certain Englishman to be less than $270 a year. In other words, the average payment of a servant in an English middle-class home is less than $7.50 a month. Nor do wages vary in* this looallty as they do in any blook in* the olty, .where it is nothing unusuaM for a girl In a email family to receive $15 ia monthf" while 'perhaps In the. nexf house thegiri with more work to do gets only. $12. It is the lack of system, both in requirements and wages which causes m,*** so muoh friction and trouble. Vf,

One of the great manufactories of household furniture at Grand Rapids,

Mich., employs a woman as chief designer of artlstio furniture and pays hOr a handsome salary. She employs two or three girls as assistants. Another woman holds a similar position in the service of a great stove company in Detroit. The Studebaker carriage builders, In South Bend, Ind., employ a woman artist to do tbe delloate ornamental painting on the vehioles they make. A woman is stewart and purser of a steamer running between Grand Haven and Chicago. There are several women who own and manage livery stables In western cities, and women farmers and women oattle ranchers are numerous in all western states. There are also many women engaged in fruit culture. One. of the finest vineyards in Iowa is owned! and managed by a young woman exsobool teacher. 1 08**^*

Mr. Blaine always liked Gall Hamilton, his wife's cousin, and she was a familiar figure in his Augusta home. Full of sympathy with his ambitions, she helped him and oheered him, besides being Mrs. Blaine's most prized companion. From the time Mr. Blaino became speaker of the house she assisted Mrs. Blaine in doing tbe honors of her homein/Wwrhington. Her wit and her wisdom entertained and instructed the guests *f the house. A dinner party at the Blaines' would have beon bright even if ell tbe guests were dull, with Mr. Blaine, his wife and Miss Dodge to sustain the conversation. But the Blaines seldom had dull guests. Miss Dodge found time to aid in other ways than by helping to entertain. She aided Mrs. Blaine in training the children. She aided Mr. Blaine with her advice, which he sought and followed, and with her pen and tongue. She was invaluable to blm and h$ freely acknowb edged it..,
