MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Dr. Jenkins la to succeed Mr. J. D. 'Early as police commissioner. The dootor will be fortunate if he goes through a term in the office without much distress of mind. It is not a position in which virtue is Its own reward but quite the contrary. The only safe plan for the Republican member of a police board known to be organized for the benefit of the Lamb*Falrbanks Tammany is to be recorded as voting in the minority on about every proposition that comes up.

For ten years now I have bad occasion to see a good deal of the negotiations between the miners and operators and I have come to the conclusion that there is no other Industry in which there is an equal amount of pulling and hauling and working at cross purposes. Every year there is a struggle and no two years are the conditions the same. It is natural that the men should come to believe that the operators do not deal frankly with them that first it is one reason and then another why wages must be lowered. For a while it is Ohio then it is likely to be Illinois and again back to Pittsburg to tiud the competition that makes necessary the reduction in Indiana. The men who come to these conferences representing the miners Invariably feel that snap judgment is to be taken on them and they are suspicious of everyone and everything. Ir, after a day or two of joint meetings, they begin to see the other side of the situation and agree as they did here two weeks ago to accept a reduction in the soale, then the men at the mines believe they sold out. It is true, too, that the effort to settle the controversies is often complicated by the aotlon of soma of the operators. They do not always agree among them selves, nor "tote fair." There were one or two instances of duplicity at the late conference. Right here let it be said that there Is one operator to whom the men and operators alike owe a great deal In bringing aboutaettlements in the past ten yea*!. That is Mr. J. S. Talley. Hie capacity for in Unite patience is beyond the understanding of ordinarily patient persons. Day after day his tact and patience have been called upon for sixteen hoars out of every twenty-four, but In the end he is the same equitable and auave gentleman who went in to the conference with the knowledge that there would be many times when an agreement about to be reached would be knucked out by a hasty word that would set operators and miners at cross purposes. I And that the men think he is honest with them. They may say that "J. Smith doesn't overlook anything for his own good," but they will add that be doesn't try to cheat them, and that is what they think operators, as a rule, are here to do.

The Bell telephone company has em* ployed Mr. John Lamb to oppose the new local company. It is supposed that he is to render his expert services in the effort to prevent the new company getting i% franchise from the council. This is a new policy on the part of the Bell people. Elsewhere they have met tbe opposition by competing in service and rates«. No obstacle was placed in the way of those who wanted to start in the telephone business and there has been no serious opposition on the score of infringement of patent. The Sell company has now notified the Terre Haute gentlemen who formed the new com* psny that they will be held liable for infringement on what is known as the Berliner patent. It Is expected that the opposition to the new company will also be seen in the efforts of councilmen to Impose peculiar restrictions and obligations on the new company. In other words, the old Bell monopoly will be In the attitude of a preserver of the in teres t« of the poor people of Terre Haute. I understand that when Mr. Baker, the manager of the Bell wheel-wlthln-a* -wheel company, the Central Union, was here a few days ago, he waa giving advice to councilmen about the manner In which the city's Interest* should be protected. Man About Town has repeatedly Alluded to the fact that Terre Battle haa been giving away too much of Its valuable privilege* without promise of remuneration and that the city ought to get something In return for thote valu able franchisee, but It comes with poor grace for the monopoly company to urge that argument In an effort to protect its monopoly. If the two com pan lee could be started on even terms then the Bell company's advice might be received— for what It la worth. If It Is possible for Terre Haute to enjoy the advantages of competition such as has arisen In other .cities where rival oompanlee have gone

into the business, the people do not want ^ny scheming done to prevent tbe possL bility becoming an accomplished fact.

The spy system of the post office department in regard to the earners has reached the west, and several carriers'at Indianapolis have been punished on tbe report* of secret agents. 1 be carrier Is not given a hearing, but Is summarily removed or suspended on the report of a witness whom be is never permitted to confront. I would not be surprised if agents have been here. Postmaster Donham says if they have he was unaware of their visit, but the probability is that the Terre Haute carriers have been spied upon. What the report will be is not known, but no doubt some will feel the weight of official diefavor, because from all accounts the secret agents are more concerned in furnishing reports against carriers as a means of proving to tbe department that they, tbe agents, are attending to business than in promoting the good of the service. At Indianapolis they told Postmaster Sahm that the report would be highly creditable to that office, but when it is received it is seen that a number of carriers are to be punished. There could be nothing more ooutemptible than casting a reflection on an employe without permitting him to meet his accuser or offer evidence in defense of his official conduct.

Superintendent Jeflers must have improved the Detroit track a great deal judging from the fast time made there this week. Nothing less than the 2:00 mile will do to close the season with here. If Superintendent Jeffers wants to live the remainder of his life in peace he must put an extra spring and finlwh on the world's record track for the meeting week after next. Such horses as William Penn, who made a new record for trotting geldings, and others that have been making new records this season are in the list of entries and it follows as a matter of course that they will havetosurpass their own time when they go around the four cornered track

How Does Chicago Like This? We bear so much nowadays of the false and exotic America—the America of "boodling and bulldozing," of tyrannical millionaires and a frenzied proletariat in a word, of the America of Chicago—that it is a comfort to hear a little of tbe true and natural America— the America of New England, of Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Columbia— the America where the sane and wholesome traditions of the English race exist in as perfect health as on this side of the water, and where honest living, high thinking and sonnd learning flourish and abound.

The wild and whirling #ords of hysterical agitators, spiritual and political, must not persuade people into thinking that Chicago, with its strange and feverish crowd of Bohemians, Italians, Polish Jews, Hungarians and Germans, in the normal American city, or that it represents the permanent and conquering element in American life. It is an ugly enough boil on the body politic and doubtless far from healthful, but we have no sort of doubt that it will pass away and be absorbed into the healthier tissnes of the Union. Meantime let us learn to look on the nobler and far more real, if less sensational, side of American life. —Loudon Spectator. A, wf

Meander, the Jewish Historian. The new life of John Cairns, the celebrated Scotch divine, contains a pen sketch of Neander, the great Jewish ecclesiastical historian. Cairns attended his lectures at the University of Berlin in 1843 and describes him as a little man with a face that was pale, sallow and expressionless, a low forehead, and nothing striking in his .features but his black eyebrows. He was dressed in a dirty bro\\n coat, blue plush trousers and dirty top boots. As the distinguished man stood and lectured to his students ho punctured every sentence by spitting, so that the floor had to ^e cleaned when ho had finished. And this was the old man who, "for knowledge, spirituality, good sense and indomitable spirit of the finest discretion on moral subjects, was a marvel."

A Misfit 8«rmon*

An English clergyman who waa suddenly called on to preach to a congregation of college students was unable to speak without notes and had only one written sermon with him, which was on the dnties of the married state. The topic was hardly one that he would have chosen for the occasion, but he hoped that it would pass muster as being appropriate by anticipation. But unfortunately he did not read the sermon over, and so before he knew it he had uttered this appeal, "And now a word to you who are mothers. "—New York Trib-

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY [EVENING MAIL, JULY 27, 1895:

LITERARY NOTES,

Tbe story of an exiled lottery, which, after having been driven out from the United States, is now existing precariously iu a Central American Republic (Honduras), if told by Richard Harding Davis in Harper's Weekly for August Sd.

In the way of fashion the number* of Harper's Bwasar to be issued during tbf next few weeks will present ehbfly ale gant out-door toilettes for garden and lawn parties, driving, the sea side, etc. A story entitled "A Career," by Harriet Presoott Spoflord, will appear in tbe Bozar dated August 3d.

Captain Charles King baa written for Harper's Round Table a serial story of the National Guard and tbe riots, en: titled "Corporal Fred Its publication will begin in the number of the Round Table dated July 23d. The same num ber will oontain a story of Indian warfare, entitled "John Kilburne's Fort," by James Otis an Illustrated article, "How Royalty Travels," and a "Talk with Boys," by the Rev. Dr Rainsford

The Ladies' Home Journal for August in its o^ntents preserves the high standard heretofore attained by that popular publication, whose success has been ax phenomenal as it has been deserved. Among the notable features are tbeilrst installment of Frank R.

Stockton's "Love

Before Breakfast," John Kendriok Bangs' "Paradise Club," ninth installment, and the continuation of Elizabeth W. Bellamy's "The Luok of the Pendennings." Edgar W. Nye, better known as "Bill Nye," writes of "The Woman who Most Influenced Me," and pays such a tender tribute to his wife and mother as to show that he has some thing in his nature besides a mere love for tbe ridiculous there is a very interesting sketch of the popular authoress, Octave Thanet, who is described as "the ouly female writer in America who in a humorist, and "Bab," whose weekly letters are one of the most delightful features of The Mail, contributes an artiole of great interest to the ladies, describing the pretty summer bodices Altogether the August Journal is of more than ordinary interest, and strengthens its reputation as the most popular publication in the country.

Following the example of Mr. Edwin A. Abbey's charming illustrations for "Midsummer Night's Dream," with which it opens, tbe August number of Harper's Magazine deals with tbe lighter phases of human experience appropriate to the season, and with life in the open Julian Ralph, in the artic.'e entitled "Everyday Scenes in China," treats of tbe common folk, their life and charac teristics, in city and country. There are nineteen Illustrations by C. D. Weldon. Frederic Remington, in "Cracker Cowboys of Florida," has discovered a new border type. Six pictures accompanj his descriptions. The second paper in Poultney Blgelow's popular story of "The German Struggle for Liberty" deals with the cowardly subservience of the German nobles to Napoleon and the French influence, and the unpatriotic attitude of tbe King towards his people with the mid-winter flight of Queen Luise along the shore of the Baltic, the dismemberment of Prussia at Tilsit, and the famous interview between Queen Luise and Napoleon. Besides Its serial fiction, Harper's for August contains four complete short stories. "Bobbo," by Thomas Wharton, is a humorous Parisian sketch, with a court-room for its scene and a company of quarrelling opera bouffe singers for actors. The illustrations are by W. T. Smedley. "Jimty," by Miss Margaret Sutton Bris coe, is a tale of old Virginia and Bohemian New York, also illustrated by Mr. Smedley. "An Evangel in Cyene" is a strong study of tbe Middle West by Hamlin Garland, and "The Little Room," a tale of rural New England, with an element of mystery, by Miss Madelene Yale Wynne.

For seven years SoribnerV Magazine has bad tbe habit of publishing a midsummer Fiction Number, In which have appeared some of tbe most notable short stories that have been written by American authors. The present (August) issue is no exoeption to this remarkably successful record. Any number of the magazine would be notable with an array of contributors which inclines Anthony Hope, H. O. Bunner, Hopklnson Smith, Richard Harding Davis, Octave Thanet, Noah Brooks, George Meredith, George I. Putnam and Theo dore Roosevelt. Tbe number contains seven short stories, six of them illns trated by artists of tbe first rank, including W. H. Hyde, Relnhart, C. Y. Turner, Orson Lowell and others. Artistically the number is given great distinction by the series of eight fullpage reproductions of the pastels of Edwin A. Abbey, reoently exhibited In this country. The short stories which make up the bulk of the number show a wide range of Incident and character. Anthony Hope (author of "The Prisoner of Zenda") contributes the first of a twopart comedy entitled "The Wheel of Love," a story which com binee the romantic element of "Zenda"- with -the cleverness of expression that marks tbe "Doily Dialogue®." There Is not a dull line In this rattling oomedy. Richard Harding Davis in "Mis* Delamar's Understudy" proposes a problem for ihe young man Inclined to matrimony that la likely to create as much discussion as his story "The Other Woman." H. C. Bunner contributes "Oar Area* a tie Uncle," a story in a quaint vein of refined sentiment, which no one so suoeeesfully portrays as Bnnner. Octave Thanet tells a dramatic story of a great strike in the west, with a touch of hnmor as well as heroism in Its leading character. Tbe other short stories are "The Rector's Eat," by Noah Brooks, which is a most Ingenious tale of a mya tery "The Guard-House Lawyer,", by

George I, Putnam, who relates the story of a deserter, and "A Ruined Faith Doc tor," by C. Ridgeway Van Blaroorn, who tells the tale of a ranch ajlrl who had a remarkable gift of healing. The Soribner serials, President Andrews's "History of the Last Quarter-Cen tury" and Robert Grant's papers on "The Art of Living," which are intermitted in tbe Fiction Number, will be resumed in September,

Tlie Fault of the Wheel.

"It was funny seeing papa trying to ride my wheel the other night. He took a uotion that it was easy and that it was all foolishness falling off and getting hurt. He had been watching me about 15 minutes, and he asked me to let him take a try at it. "He waltzed np and steadied the wheel with one hand. He gave a little contemptuous sneer, pushed the wheel and started off. He did it so coolly that he actually landed in the wheel and got his feet on the pedals somehow. It was down a little slant, and away he went slick as grease, his feet bobbing up and down like machinery. It was glorious fun, and papa looked like some sort of toy being worked by the motion of the bicycle wheels. "Dov,u, down ho went in perfectly glorious fashion until all at once, quick as lightning, without any warning, the wheel jnst dashed into a tree and spilt papa on the hard ground. He was awfully hurt. He had to go on crutches all the next day and is limping yet. ''And what do you suppose he said to me when he came tottering back. 'You've got to take that infernal bicycle back tomorrow. There's something wrong with it. I haven't paid a cent for it, and I won't. You can't pay me to take it. Send it back.' Papa says he an id if is he el is Atlanta Constitution. '"^ill-

Water Glass.

The eminent chemist, Dr. Grothie, is quoted as declaring that water glass has a great future in store in bleaching, and that in his opinion it will entirely displace soda. Such substances as jute, which formerly could not be bleached without injury to the threads, are therefore capable of being quickly treated in the following manner: The yarn is steeped frotn 15 to 20 minutes in a solution of from six to eight pounds of water glass to a gallon of water, at a temperature of from 185 to 212 degrees F., and turned about in it a few times, then rinsed in hot, but not boiling water, and finally in cold. It next goes to a weak chlorine bath and will become perfectly white.

Hemp and cotton, instead of being boiled in a strong soda solution for six or eight hours as a preliminary, can be quite sufficiently prepared by from 10 to 15 minutes in the above hot wate, glass. For 100 pounds of linen yarn from 12 to 15 pounds of water glass are taken, costing about 80 per cent less than the usual ten pounds of 90 degrees sod&. After the water glass bath the yarn is rinsed, first in hot, then in cold water, and next given chlorine and acid as usual. All dressing is of course first removed by boiling with milk of lime or by heating with water glass under pressure.

Datcli Bonnet of Real Hair. A girl sat near me at the theater the other night who was the observed of observers, and she knew it, says the Woman About Town in the Washington Post. Her gown was like any one of a Via.If dozen pretty frocks in the house, but her hair was unique. You thought when you first looked at her that she was wearing a bonnet, but she wasn't. Bier heavy brown hair was dragged to the crown of her head, and there twisted and puffed and pinned into a very fair imitation of a Dutch bonnet, complete even to the big bow in the back. It was odd, it was striking, but it was decidedly the very latest fashion, and she knew it. What is more to the point, all the women who saw it knew it, and the wearer knew they knew it.

Don't worry. Don't run in debt. Don't trifle with your health. Don't tr.\ experiments with medicines. Don't waste time and money on worthless compounds. Don't be persuaded to take a substitute for Ayer's Saisaparilla. It is tbe best of blood-purifiers.

The Building-Up

Powers of Hood's Sarsaparilla are remarkable. By purifying and enriching the blood and giving an appetite It makes you feel strong and capable of endurance.

This is Just what is needed at this season. The following Is from Rev. Wm. Paddock, Branson, Mich., formerly pastor of the First M. E. Church at Osseo,

Mich.: I took Hood's 8arsaparilla and received much help from it. I am very thankful for the building up effects Hood's Sarsaparilla has had in my case, and shall continue to take It." Rev. WILLIAM PADDOCK, Bronson, Mich.

Hood's Pills

Amusing Answer.

The following anecdote is from "Glances at Great and Little Men," by Paladin

A lady of the court told me a funny anecdote of one of the numerous Americans who were presented at the Tnileries. He was a young man, and the emperor had known his father in America, so the latter, wishing to be gracious, said: "Et, monsieur, votre pere, vit-ll encore?" (Does your father yet live?) "Pas encore, sire." (Not yet, sire

The emperor had much ado to refrain from laughing and put his next question in English.

Her Heart Upon Her Sleeve.

Tho up to date girl, says the New York Sun, wears her heart upon her sleeve. It's a gold or silver heart, to be sure, and it dangles about her neck from a long, slender chain, but it is of locket pattern, and within it area likeness and the lock of hair—presumably of her sweetheart The hearts are about an inch and a half long and appear in all grades of expensiveness. Sometimes they are of richly chased gold set with precious stones, but again they are simply of frosted silver. They are known as "Trilby hearts."

The Canadian parliament at Ottawa voted on woman suffrage recently, and uearly half the members voted in favor of it. It is coming and nothing can stop it.—New York Recorder.

Feeding tbe Nerves.:''

liS' From the Courier-Herald, Saginaw, Mich. Do you see those two men walking up the street? One has a vigorous, firm, elastic step his head well up, his eyes bright, a picture of a sound and perfect man. The other is bent, his knees weak and unsteady, a listless air about his whole make up. He nas the appearance of one who is broken in health, and who has to whip himself to every task. The difference between these two men is a difference of nerve power. With nerve power comes energy, enterprise, force, vigor,—-all things which make existence enjoyable. Without it the muscles cannot act, the brain cannot think. Bear in mind that life is nerve power, and if you wish to keep it you must feed the nerves. Do not simply stimulate them, but coax them, feed them. Give them the food which will renew their life, and make them sound and healthy that they may ward off disease.

Probably paralysis is the nearest disease to nerve death that we know, and we therefore eite a case of it below to show what a certain famous nerve building preparation can do to feed and absolutely restore, almost hopelessly wasted nerves.

There are but few in the Saginaw Valley but who have known personally or made Hie acquaintance indirectly of W. H. Dawson, 618 Union Avenue, Saginaw, Mich., West Side.

Until the fall of '92 Mr. Dawson was as full ©f vigor as any young man. As a result of the grip he became paralyzed. For this he was treated by the best medical talent, and also spent ten months at the Indiana State Institute at Indianapolis. Here he contracted scarlet fever, and when he left the institute he was in a worse condition than when he entered. On his return to Saginaw he gave up entirely. He was such a care to his mends. He was completely paralyzed from his waist down, and his limbs were simply skin and bones, with no life nor feeling in them. After awhile a friend prevailed on him to try Pink Pills, la a few days he could move his toes a trifle. He was greatly encouraged and kept on with them. The followingt he told our reporter: "In two months time I could move my limbs about on the bed and by the time another month had seen me swallow this medicine, to which I owe my life, I was able to get out of bed alone. It has been just about one year since I learned of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and during that time I have made such marked improvement that I gladly proclaim what they nave done for me to all the world and ask you fellow sufferers to try them and receive new life. My life, my all, I owe to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. "I am now comparatively fleshy with good color and high spirits, and every day brings new strength and more happy life throng] continued use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

Subscribed and sworn to before me this 27th day of May, 1895. J. P. EVANS. Notary in and for Saginaw Co., Mich.

These pills are manufactured bv the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y., and are sold only in boxes bearing the firm's trade mark and wrapper, at 50 cents a box or six boxes for $2.50, and are never sold, in bulk. They may be had of all druggists or direct by mini from Dr. Williams' Medicine Company. The price at which these pills are sold makes a course of treatment inexpensive as compared with other remedies.
