ON THE QUI VIVE

Rev. W. H. Hickman evidently cannot rid bis mind of the impression that he with several other gentlemen of the clotb got tbe worst of it In a controversy with Russell Harrison last'year about this time when tbe use of Ooilett Park I was up for discussion. Evidently there mast be a rankling oi this feeling that led bim to such a radical and wholesale condemnation of Harrison Park in his sermon last Sunday. It is quite evident that Mr. Hiokman has not attended any of tbe performances at Harrison Park this summer, and knows nothing of tbe kind of audienoes that gather there.

Some of tbe very best people of tbe city attend those performances, and enjoy them, and come away without any sinful thoughts having been created in tbeir minds. As a matter of fact every effort has been made to preserve order at the new park, and tbe severe example that was made of tbe crowd that created the disturbance at its opening, hss put a damper ou tbe rowdyism,and much better order is observed there than at Collett Park last summer, when those inclined to be fresh or loud were quick to observe, when called to order, "well, this is a city park, and I guess we've got aright to have a good time." Harrison Park is a private concern, however, and those unwilling to observe its rules are put out. Such unreasonable attaoks as this do Mr. Harrison good, and he would no doubt be glad to have every minister in tbe oity turn loose on him, so long as he is undeserving of condemnation. Those who have been at tbe park know that it is undeserved, and tbeir talk in favor of its attractions will more than offset any ill tempered abuse of it. Rus sell Harrison has shown a disposition to take care of himself, and V. says this because be likes to see fair play.

The oonolave of tbe Princes of the Oiient that is to be held during the race meeting next month is going to be the biggest thing on wheels this community has ever seen. The gentlemen who originated the idea are working bard for tbe success of tbe sob me, and their et»tbusiasm has enlisted tbe interest of a number of business men who are alive to the fact that it will be a big thing for our business men, and will bring thoue persons to the' races, which are really to be the most Buocessful of tbe. entire racing season. The eontraotttrr the floats for tbe parade was awarded this week to the Hughes Decorating Company of this city, whose exhibits In tbe Charity Circus parade were models of beauty and ingenuity. Tbe contract was also closed yesterday for the fire works display, which is to be furnished by the James Pain Company, which furnishes the "Night in Pekin" exhibit for the Indianapolis people next month. A convection of delegates from the Princes of Orient lodges in the surrounding country has been called for September 10, when steps will betaken to enlist tbe Interest of the thousands of members in the surrounding country, all of whom will be here for the big conclave. It behooves every business man of Terre Haute to turn loose every wheel he controls to make this celebration a big success, for if it proves successful, as J^hose who are in a position to know, believe it will, it can be made an annual event here and will bring thousands of dollars every year into the pockets of the bnsiness men of this city. As has been said before those who bave taken tbe preliminary steps in this matter are men who have nothing to make out of It personally, but have made the efforts simply in the interests of our business world. Such disinterested action Is not often to be seen, and for that reason the wheels they have set going must be nade to revolve successfully.

The Supreme court having secured a /reputation for non partisanship, has lloored the Republicans in the first suit rought before It on a purely political proposition, that of giving the Republicans control of the schools in nearly all of the counties of the state. As a oensequence, there will be no meeting of township trustees of this county on

Monday to elect Harvey Curry's successor, although Auditor Sonles had sent out notices to that effect. In the opinion given on tboRoby law the court ecided that tbe law was good because was plain what the legislature meant, nt in this case a law was decided bad though there was no question but what the Intention of the legislature was plain. Those Republicans who have h«en expecting to have the present Supreme court hold the apportionment taw good will be very much surprised when the decision is given. The court hss gone as far as was necessary in establishing a reputation for non» partisanhip. So far it would go, but—

The directors of tbe Trotting Assoeiaon met last night and decided on 6*MI re of the big race meeting next Dontb that will surely bring the two tilnute home into sight over tbe fastest rack on earth. It was to offer a punte |2,&00 for a big free-for-all pace on 'ed need ay of race week, with the edition of $500 to tbe winner of the rsoe, roviding that he beats Robert J.'s wonorful time, 2.-01M, with 11,000added

iwi-

for the winner, providing that the time is two minutes or better. Robert J., Rubens tain, Ooastman, John R. Gentry and Joe Patch en will most likely be entered in tbis race, it being an assured thing that Robert will go against his own time, and as Joe Patchen's owner is sore over the burse's ignominious defeat at Fleetwood this week, be will seek tbis opportunity of evening up old scores. It will be the greatest racing event of the year, and over the fastest track in tbe country it is almost an assured thing that all previous records will be smashed to smithereens. The Terre Haute man who falls to bring some outside friends to tbis city during that week will regret it every day of his life.

Some of tbe east enders who came hear being drowned out by the heavy rains tbe other night are of the opinion that tbe city engineer's defective street grades are tbe cause of their property being submerged. They will taokle the biggest job of tbeir lives If they attempt to convlnoe the city oonncll that the present city engineer can make any mistakes. It was an aot of Providence, his organ explains, by which their property was inundated, and while the city engineer seems to have a pretty strong pull In every other direction it is not claimed by bis most enthusiastic adherents in the council that he has any special "cinch" with Providence.

BAB'S LETTER.

LITTLE CRANFORD, N. Y., Aug. 28, 1885 That was what I should call it, for it seemed to me that, after all, it was are production of the original Cranford. There were the dainty little bouses with the neat, well-kept gardens, and pervading the entire place was the peculiar air which betokens the presence of woman —not woman in the singular, and oertalnly not the singular woman—but woman in the plural, and to auoh a degree that she seemed to override and overrule everything It was oonoeded in this queer little place that to be rioh, or, Indeed, even to be comfortably off, as far as the goods of this world were con oerned, was to be vulgar, although it would have been considered equally vul gar to have spoken of one's poverty Gentility was the state which seemed most desirable, as far as Icon Id find out, both here and hereaiter, and gentility meant having no nasty, rough men about. It meant having to be very careful as to the spending of one's income and to always preserve a proper position in the world.

If this new Cranford bad been in England, there could have been no oloser line of oaste drawn. "^TRADESPEOPLE NOT RECEIVED.

It is funny to sit in the little library and hear her recommend books to the young girls and boys. She tried to induce the boy of to-day to read Cooper's "Pathfinder," while "John Halifax" and "The Heir of Redoliffe" were advised to the young girls in place of the modern novels, for, as she said In her odd little way, "My dear, these new books are often very olpver, but quite as often they will teach you things you had better not know." Tbis was not always the beBt course to take to induoe the youthful reader to let them a'one, but Miss Dorothy believed fully in girls as she had known them, and tbe girl of to-day was an unknown page to her. With my appearance there oame, for this little town, great gaiety during my week's stay I had as many as four tea parties given tea, made rich with cream and sweet of importance. It means the puttingfr^U,£jLb.est (rocka, preferably -ojU^l[ok-sUirf-starting out atfl-oViock, and sitting up in state until half-past six, indulging in what is known as polite conversation. Then wc had, with cups of delicious tea, rich with cream and sweet with real lump sugar, wafer-like bread and butter, thin cakes and delioate, amber-like preserves. Nobody ever had anything more than this. That would have been counted vulgar. •••FL BAB GETS ONE SQUARE MEAL.

Indeed, tbe only time I was ever present at what might have been called "a Bupper" was at the house of a lady, the widow of a man who had kept a wholesale shoe store. When she appeared there was a question as to whether she should be received or not, but as she was a kind, good-natured soul she was accepted after awhile, and it was agreed that the remembrance of the shoe shop should be ignored altogether. At her bouse, lobster cutlets, slioed oold meat, coffee, hot rolls, a glass of rich, sweet wine would be ofiered and the old ladies wonld all eat and drink heartily and remark, after they left, "Such abundance, my dear, but of course, poor soul, she doesn't know any better, and so we make the best of It, and agree to overlook It."

Theie was the intensest fear of getting acquainted with anybody in trade, but as nearly all the ladies were unmarried —though what was known as of suitable age—or the widows of men who had been In professions, tbe question of who should and who sbonld not be received did not often oome up. The friend I visited had this in her favor, as far as position went she was tbe daughter of an English clergyman and came to this country hoping to make her fortune as a governess, never dreaming, dear soul, that the life of a governess here was not as bard as it was in her own home. How she oame to this town I do not know, but she found there was a great need, a crying need, as newspapers wonld say, for books, and that nobody could afford to buy them. She had to do something to earn her living, and having a number of books to start with, she invested her little capital in subscribing to the various msgssines and getting some of the new books, and then she opened a circulating library. It did suggest the shop but then tbe widow of a doctor in the navy said, "Whatever a lady does becomes dignified," and after that nobody ever questioned Miss Dorotby 'abus!aess. CLKVKR MODERN HOVELS HOT RECOM

MENDED.

1 joyed in their delicate china, in the thin, worn, old silver, in tile damask sapery which was darned until the original pattern was lost in the many new threads, but, most of all, I delighted in seeing the arrangements made every night to protect the household from thieves. Miss Dorothy's five silver teaspoons, two tablespoons, three forks and a pair of snuffers would be carefully put In the old-fashioned sliver-baskst, and then Miss Dorothy would say to the little maid, aged eleven years, "Janet,

TERRE HAUTE, LND., SAT IJRDA"%EVENES"G, AUGUST 31, 1895. Twenty-sixth Year

carry tbe silver and keys upstairs." And Janet, A PROCESSION OWH, won 1^1 mar oh up solemnly, weighted by the basket and bunoh of keys, and she would deposit them qn the obair reserved for them, whiob was set just opposite the bead of Miss Dorothy's bed.

As I said before, in New Cranford as in tbe Old, men wers disapproved of. They were supposed to upset things, to be rough and loud and not always quite proper. I heard but one lady refer to them as desirable, and she was not very strong mental!) or physically she said thata£e thought a man would be handy to have in the bouse to lift things. Eveiybody was veiy kind and all sorts of nice little things were thought of. One dear old lady made me, out of a piece of marvelous brocade, a wonderful oase for holding spools of ootton while another, knowing that I had all of a Southerner's love for sweet soents, devoted a day to getting the best of the rose leaves and making me a potpourri, that I might really and truly have tbe aimoflphere of "Araby tbe blest" about me. ^Another gentlewoman did me up bundles of lavender so tbst my linen might smell sweet, and all these dainty little ways made me wonder if the "Advanced Woman," with all her much talked of ability, would ever have the sweet and gentle ways of that woman who jaever thought of herstlf as "advancecl" but who prided herself much on her gentleness and her duty to her neighbor and her God.

UNSELFISHNESS UNREWARDED. One long summer evening my friend snd I%ere sitting in the library, and she asked me if I had ever wondered about heir lonely life, and then she told me tbe story of it. The oldest of a large family of children, she had to look cut for the rest of the brothers and sisters, and in her own youth she did not have time to let anybody make love to her. O, yes, there Was some one. Always that same somebody when oneis the oldest daughter of an English olergyman—the curate. He told her bis love and he told her of his willingness to Wait for her but tbe years went on, and Juat as one sister wouldgrow old enough

take ber place

.the jfoung one, -more selfish than Miss •"Wro'thy, would foll^ h!si #u in§Una,W3wb»ioe At last 'the time came when they were all gone, and then tbe father was such an old man. The lover came and asked for his bride. She looked at her father and refused to leave him. Then her sweetheart grew angry.

A HE WAS ONLY A MAN,

and be was tired of waiting. Men iisve not the virtue of patience. That is fet&lnine. A few years more and tbe father was dead, and Dorothy, whose life had been given for others, was left alone, and It seemed to her as if nobody wanted her. Saddest of all, the man whom she loved had been given the living that had been her father's, and was coming there and bringing with him a wife and ohild Miss Dorothy could not wait and see that. So she came to this strange country, ahd now she thinks that everybody has been very kind, and that her life Is a full and happy one.

That night I ploked up a birthday book, and opposite the date which belonged to ber day, I wrote the text whioh had been in my mind as I listened to her story: "He that loseth his life shall save it." Why have I written out all this? Because in this queer, quaint town, people are living honest, sweet lives, In wonderful contrast to the miserable, empty ones that are seen every day in the great caravanserles. I do not know what some of those gentlewomen would think if they oould hear wives discuss tbeir husbands, young girls overfamiliar with men, and day in and day out meet women who make dress their god. I am tempted to think that, like the overabundant supper, this same woman, suoh as you and I meet every day, would b^ considered vulgar by them.

Is it not vulgar for a woman to oritieise her husband? Is it not vulgar for young women to be versatile only in slang?

Is It not vulgar for children to be distinguished only for their bad manners? And Is it not vulgar for women to think tb*t fine clothes will cover all imperfections of speech, or morality

My friend, it is a vulgar world. Vulgarity is the keynote of haste, and haste rules to-day, 00HPLRTBN88S OP OKNTLE LIVES.

But the hand of the clock will turn just as certainly as the hours go by, and some day mjra and women will both realise that gentle, moral lives are best for women then they will become conscious of tbe fact that they oan get tbe moat out of life when they live the lives of gentlewomen. It is a pretty old word. Prettier, I think, than "ladies." And it seem* to me that you and I would rather have our daughters be that to-day than anything else. Wouldn't you 1 would. To be gentle and to be a woman means to be everything to those about you. And to be a woman without being gentle— well, do I fike the typo? I do not. I like manful men snd womanly women. But I do not like the "advanoed woman.*' Her speech and her walk are alike strident. She has lost all that is best in we*

man and gained all that is worst in man. There Is really no place for her. She does not care for a home. She is not buildor of homes. And whst will tbe world do when homes are done away with Answer the question to BAB.

PEOPLE MP THINGS.

Du Msurler is not coming to lecture in America, his health not permitting his accepting the proposals made to him.

William R. Morrison is the oldest man who is prominently mentioned in connection with the Democratic nomination for tbe Presidency. He will be 70 years of sge on September 14.

In a cemetery in tbe suburbs of Lowell, Mans., there are five headstones all alike except the inscription. The first one reads, "First wife of John Smith" and tbe seoond "Second wife" and so on until the fifth stone, whioh reads, "John Smith at rest, at last."

Rev. Dr. E. R. Donehoo, of Pittsburg, has striven for years to Christianize Chinamen, but he now declares that be has never yet seen a Christian Chinaman Some aflect Christianity, he says, but at heart they are pagan. He believes that the attempt to civilize and Christianize them does them harm rather than good and expresses bis conviction that Chinese missions area failure.

Two quarts of whisky is a pretty fair record for a weak woman. That is the average capacity of Marlon M. Davis, as sworn to by numerous witnesses who appeared against her in a Philadelphia police oourt the other day for securing board and whisky under false pretenses. One man testified that she drank two pints and a quart in one afternoon and evening and maintained this average during tbe several days she was at his house, awaiting remittances from wealthy relatives.

Some of the names among the uppeiten in English society look as if they had been taken from playbills, though, of course, the assumption IB that playwrights depend, as Dickens did, on dl rectories and peerages, for the names of their characters. Among the persons of high degree at a recent wedding in Loudon Lady Lurgan^Lady Minto, ^3y*J?eo Stur$, Mrs. Willie Grenfell, Dorothy £ady Cautelup6, Lady Eden, Mrs. Atta Hay, arid Lady Kathleen Cuffe. With suoh names as these glistening in tbe columns of sooiety journals, the invention of odd oognomens for novels and plays is a sheer waste of time and brains.

It has been estimated that out of 100 manuscript books sent unrequested to publishers in New York, more than 90 per cent, are rejected by the house to which tbey are first.sent and probably more than 15 per oent. never find a publisher. One general publishing house aocepts only 2 per cent, of tbe unsolicited manusorlpts receded and a partner in another firm is of t&ec,pinion that 90 per cent, of all manuscript books onoe rejeoted never see the light,

LITERARY NOTES.

"Three Gringos In Central Amerloa," begun in Harper's Magazine for September, is the record of Richard Harding Davis's most recent Journey. It is a description of tbe landscape and life of Honduras, told with the vivacity and oharm which readers have learned to expect in Mr. Davis's work.

In "The Evolution of the CowPunoher," published In the September Harper's, Owen Wister has made a careful study of the pioneer ranohman of the Western plains,.now fast disappearing before the looomotlve and tho barbedwire fenoe. For this paper Mr. Remington has made some of his most suggestive illustrations.

Jullian Ralph reappears in the September Harper's as the writer of another East-side story of New York life, called "Petey Burke and his Pupil." This completes, so far as the Magasine is oon

the tales "People We Psss,"

which will be gathered together for early book publication. The song that Trilby sang at her Paris debut Is tbe subject of a brief paper in Harper's Magasine for September, where David Graham Adee shows that tbe words Maibrouek s'en va t-en guerre" area paraphrase of much older jingle, while tbe mnsio la at least several oenturies old, and familiar In nearly every quarter of tbe globe. P/obably every reader of this paragraph has heard it, and at least two thirds of them have sung or whistled it.

Tbe sueoesis of at magsilne serial dealing with contemporary American affairs has been abundantly demonstrated by the wide and permanent interest that has been aroused by President Andrews's "History of the Last Quarter Century in the United States," now running in Scribner's Magasin*. The great variety of the topics so dramatically treated makes each Installment of new

interest to old readers and also attracts the attention of newAr circles. This is weli illustrated by tbe splendid instal ment which leads tbe September number of 8cribner's. There Is no American, young or old, who cannot find something of unusual interest in an instalment which includes episodes of such vsriety as the third-term contest of President Grsnt, Conkllng's great feud with Gaide id, the assassination of Garfield, the Star Route and Whiskey Ring fraudsall of whioh topics are illustrated with a unique series of pictures oollected with great pains from suthentio sources. In fact, never since McCarthy's "History of Our Own Times" has there been a narrative of suoh genuine value oombined with popularity as this graphio account of things tbat are vital to tbe under-^ standing of the present day. "Compulsion in Child Training" is tbe subject which the Rev. Charles H. Parkburst, D. D. discusses wisely and well in the September Ladies' Home Journal. His artlole is ably supplemented by Edward W. Bok's excellent editorial on "Our Schools and Our Teachers." "The Men Who Write Our Comio Operas" are represented by portraits and sketches of "The Composer of 'Wang,'" "The Composer of 'Robin Hood'" and "The Composer of 'Princess Bonnie." Graceful in theme and melodious in construction is Mr. Robert Coverley's song "Love's Reflections," written exclusively for this Issue of the Journal.|^Mrs. Mallon's "The Early Winter Bonnets" aud "Silk and Woolen Bodices" are daintily illustrated by Abbey E. Underwood, as are "Party Dresses for Children," by Granville Smith, and "The Early Autumn Coats," by Frank O. Small. Altogether this attractive issue, whioh goes out with a cover especially designed by Mr. C. D. Gibson. Is worth ten times tbe price of ten cents. The Ladies Home Journal is published by tbe Curtis Publishing Company, of Philadelphia, for ten cents per number and one dollar per year.
