MAN ABOUT TOWN.

All conditions taken Into consideration the Yigo fair was remarkably successful, both as to the exhibition and attendance The fair association hoped for a larger attendance and deserved it, but it should not be forgotten that the "Vig fK.ir had boon Under suspicion for seventl years N»w, however, that ibe old relation of mutual good will between the association aud the agricultural community has been restored the fullest measure of success in the future is as sured. The experience of last week makes plain several lines of action. •Children's day, Wednesday, is a joyful occH*ion, and it is seen that the schools couM as well be suspended for all the day as for the afternoon. Thursday is pre eminently the farmer's day, and he isgl-i 1 to have a day on which he may confidently count upon meeting friends and relatives. For him it is not only an occasion f"r seeing the products of agri culture, the live stock, the races, the art and mechanical exhikuts, but it affords the opportunity of the j'ear to meet friends and lelatives. It is a pity the city man does not as gladly welcome his day—Friday.

The experience of last week indicates that speoial attractions should be afforded for the special days, and that novel ones may well be introduced on all days The public likes to have its curi osity whetted, and if you do not too ruthlessly humbug the people they will be io good humor with you and your fair. It may be looked upon as treason to tnnke the suggestion, hut a running race wuuld enhance the excited interest of each day, though the horses were off our farms and ridden by the farmer boys. Trotting and pacing races under saddle would be a novel sight in these days Premiums for the most graceful rider no doubt would bring forward a surprisingly large number of excellent equestrians. Many other suggestions could be considered by the association, but novelty is the essential quality of an attraction for the people, and a prize might even be awarded for the suggestion of the most novel event for the next year's fair. The wedding at the grounds a few- years apo and the prize for the most beautiful baby were strong drawing cirds. It was their novelty that malf them so. Still another inducement Is in the desire to break a recor.l If the public mlud can be fixed on the purpose to outdo former attendance, each year will surpass the previous one in attendance The same trait in human nature that makes the perspiring man stare at the thermometer, secretly hoping a record of 110 or 115 will be made, will make people crowd the grounds as did the nearly one million persons on Chicago day at the world's fair. Perhaps this last motive la the one yet to be brought Into play to make city people go to the fair, and to the races as well, on "Terre Haute day."

Colonel Nelson returned from the east this week and repudiated the interview with Qath, in which the colonel was quoted as talking freely of Senator Yoorhees' oourse in rescsrd to the Horn blower confirmation for the supreme bench and other matters, all of which appearing in print rather startled the friends here of both. No doabt Qath can stand it he is used to It. ______

Now oomes Colonel Nelson with the opinion that Mexico will give up Fardan If he Is found In that country. Colonel Nelson says Mexloo does not make naturalisation a oloak to shield crime. The serious discussion of the probability that Mexloo would assume an attitude that would place It on a par with the criminal is an Insult to the intelligence «nd integrity of that government. It is moreover an Imputation on the asserted friendship of Mexloo for this govern* ment. Colonel Nelson well says that President Diss would pay no attention to technicalities in the contingency that an embezzler became a naturalised citi sen of Mexico. And it will make no difference whether the money stolen is publio or private. AH this talk of the security of the embetsler In that country arises, a* has been said in this column, from the fact that a couple of Iowa •mbexslers are now endeavoring to avoid extradition on the ground that they are naturalised citizens of the country.

When the proper authority takes action it will be found that the alleged criminals will be handed over to a representative of Unole Sam's government.

Andstillthey oome. The persons who saw Farden here, there and olsewhere are still coming forward. The proneness of human nature to lying is astounding. The Indianapolis fire and the rumor about the death of the Rev. Mr. Hunter this week furnished further instances of this depravity. Perhaps it should not be called lying but a proueness to draw the long bow. Soon after the Indianapolis fire report readied the city it was said the oapital olty was being "burned up" and by evening it was reported that the Terre Haute fire department had been called on for aid aud that a speoial train over the Vandalia carried an engine and some hose wagons to Indianapolis in 60 minutes, a rate of •peed of less than a mile a minute. As to Rev, Hunter one story was that he fell dead on the street and had lain there a half hour before he was found. The wonder is that newspapers tell the news as oorrectly as they do considering the number of persons always willing to give information alleged to be of personal knowledge whioh is wholly untrue.

The attractions at Harrison Park are complimented by all who go to the park. They are first-olass in their line and what is better still they are entirely free from the vulgarisms too often associated with vaudeville performances. There could be nothiug better and certainly nothing has been wanted more in this city than an objective point for an evening's car ride. The saloonkeepers say the park has ruined their evening trade during this hot weather

The Central Union Telephone Com pany accomplished its purpose in employing John Lauib in the effort to he«d off competition in the telephone business in this city. They secured the passage of an ordinance granting a franchise that no company will accept, which in effect continues the monopoly and the imposition on the people of high prices for telephone service. Back in the beginning Man About Town said the fight would ba nude along the line of zealous regard for the interests of the city, and that councilmen who gave franchises and municipal favors right and left to Russell Harrison and Andrew Crawford without equivalent would be found to be over-cautious about grauting a telephone franchise that did not provide for a whole lot of things for the city. The new-born zeal would be commendable were it not that it effectually deprives the people of oheaper telephone service. The vote on the ordinance gives color to the report that it was the result of a combine between some of the Briggs faction and the Democrats who were under the Lamb influence, because some of those who voted for the objectionable ordinance and who were prime movers in the Briggs faction had promised to vote for an ordinance that would have been unobjectionable. The evening of the council mreting the Democrats had an informal caucus, and it was decided to help organize the Briggs committees if in return votes could be secured to help John Lamb earn his lobby money from the. telephone monopoly. The vote on both the committees and the telephone ordinance shows how the deal was successfully carried out. And this suggests the fact that things have come to a pretty pass, indeed, when John Lamb dictates the action of a oounoll for whose course the Republican party is to be held responsible, and by doing so earns a fee from a monopoly. It would not be a cause for comment for him to get all the usufruct out of Democrats in office, but it is worthy of passing comment at least that he should be able to do the same thing with Republicans.

The gas deal is rapidly nearlng fiual results in the shape of a monopoly company. The business of supplying gas in Terre Haute hereafter will be conducted in the name of the Citizens' Fuel and Light company. This is the company which has just gone through the remarkable experience of making an assignment and paying its stockholders $1.13 on the dollar. Of oourse the assignment was a subterfuge to bring about a monopoly company and was made necessary by the failure to get all the stockholders of the two oompanles to agree to the consolidation as required by law, a law whose intent is defeated by the round about manipulation that has jnst resulted in the newly organised Citizens' company.

The Centenary ohuroh people have been having an exciting time trying to get a pastor from Ohio, and in the effort there has oome to publio notioe something of the strained relations between Dr. Leeoh, the retiring pastor, and the offloial board of the ohuroh, which primarily was the oooaslon of the rumor of the death of the Rev. R. V. Hunter. There Is something of a oomedy of errors running through the story. It had been known In the ohuroh for some time that Dr. Leeoh would retire at the end of the ohuroh year also that his retirement would not be regretted by the men who gnide the aflfcirs of that ohurch. On the contrary, It was known that the board was deoldedly forninst the retention of Dr. Leech. And Dr. Leeoh was fully aware of that fact. Last Sunday's Express contained a story of the trouble in the church, end the pub licatlon did not please the church board. It was apiece of good newspaper work, however, and caused "no end of talk." The ohuroh officials who did not like

Dr. Leeoh were muoh wrought tup over the publication and suspected that be had inspired the article. The story was a true one in the main, and perhape it was an Instance of *'the greater the truth the

TERRE HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MAIL, SEPTEMBER

greater the libel." Dr. Leeoh told me afterward that it was all true. The story In effeot was that the ohurch board wanted to get a pastor who would be a "big gun," and they had ploked upon a Dr. Wharton at Delaware, Ohio. The ministers of this conference resented the attempt to go out of the conference for a pastor for the best oharge in the con ference and the bishop would not consent unless a pastor from the conference was transferred to another, as the bringing In of an outsider would result in asuperflous preacher. Dr. Leaoh said lie would remain in theoonferenceand this blocked the way for the importation of the Ohio man. Well, when Dr. Leeoh returned from the conference and learned that be was being suspeoted of inspiring the article he set about learning whenoe it originated. Some one told him that Mr. Hunter had furnished the information, and he went into the First National bank to tell Cashier McCormick. He whispered to him, "Dr. Hunter dropped it." Mr. McCormick understood him to say "Dr. Hunter dropped dead," and in five minutes the story was flying up and down the street. I asked Mr. Hunter about it and lie said he was not going about correcting reports. As a matter of faot he said an Express reporter oame to him Saturday and told him much of what was in the article and named persons he had talked with, one of these being a member of the Centenary church board. Mr. Hunter told him that all he knew was that the name of the new pastor could not be expected to be made publio before Monday and explained to him the manner of making appointments at a Methodist conference. The truth is that the Express story could easily have been written on information gained from the ohuroh officials, porhapa not in the manner it was written because the church officials with the same fuels took a different, view of the situation.- I know it to he a fact that the officials have talked about Dr. Leeoh freely aud nothing' was more natural than that a newspaper man handling the story should tell it as it appeared to him after hearing all sides and seeing the animus on all sides, and there was a good deal of animus, let it be remembered. The Centenary ohurch has a peculiar congregation, and the row in it about the preacher naturally made considerable talk in the city. The faot that a number of members of the church have been prosperous has made it a byword in town that they are suinrt, business men, and nothing was more natural than that this display of acrimony in a congregation of christians should be a subject of very geueral conversation in the city.

The Trotting Association would not consent to anything that would savor of a hippodrome performance at,their fall meeting and in this they have done what was to be expected of the men who compose the association. They followed the doctrine that honesty is the best policy. If therewis to be a two minute horse Terre Haute wants him to appear here but as Terre Haute does not want to attract people to the races by telling them there is a prospect of two minutes when it is known no horse will bedriveu to make that time. It is better to declare of! the free for-all pace than to have a race that will not come up to the Terre Haute standard. That there will be record breaking races there is no doubt that is, if the participation in the races of all the horses of the year which may be expected to break records is any assurance of new time marks, we will have them. The class purses for which entries have been in for several months include the horses that have made the best showing of the year. The association has been negotiating with the owners of Robert J. to equal or beat his 2:0114 mile made here last year and there is no doubt that the contraot will be made. The price will be considerable but not so much as it was for the 2:01 ]4 mile last year, which cost about thirtyfive hundred dollars.

YOU LACKtSTRENGTH.i

WEAK NERVE8, TIRED.aEXHAUSTED BODIES.

The Complaint of Thousands Upon Thousauda—Health and Strength are Within Your Grasp—Dr. Greene's Nervura Makes

You Strong and Well—It Is the Great Restorative of Nerve and Body,

The world la filled with people who, while not exactly sick, yet lack strength. They are weak, tired, languid and nervous, especially at this season of the year, and have lost their old-time vigor and energy, and go about their work in a listless manner, without ambition, and feellDg dull and dispirited.

In tbiB connection we publish the cure of Mrs. B. B. Graves, of Middlefield, Mass., in the lady's own words: "I have been sick for two years, and have been a great sufferer during all that time. I was fearfully nervous, and could get but little Bleep. I was constantly worrying about something. My head ached nearly all the time so that I could hardly pnduro it. My stomach was in a terrible coudition, and I could eat but very little. I"suffered awfully from the little food I did eat. "I was frightfully weak and exhausted all the time, and could do almost no work at all. I was troubled with rheumatism. I was in a fearful condition from all these complaints, and thought

MRS. B. B. GRAVES.

I never should get well. I took medicines and employed doctors but got no better. "Finally I began the use of Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy, and immediately there was an improvement. I gained rapidly in health and strength, and every one of my troubles soon left me. I was entirely cured of them all by that wonderful medicine, Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. There is no other medicine in the world that will do what that will. I advise everybody to use it."

Use it—It will make you strong and well—give yru back your snap, energy and ambition to work.

It is uot a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most iiiicflHfwful living upeciatist in curing nervous and ohronic diseases, Dr. Greene, of 35 W. 14th St., New York City. He has the largest practice in the world, and this grand medical discovery is the result of his vast experience. The great reputation of Dr. Greene is a guarantee that his medicine will cure, and the fact that he can be consulted by anyone at any time, free of charge, personally or by letter, gives absolute assurance of the beneficial action of this wonderful medicine.

Hi" Vultures and a Dead Tljjer. The vulture is seen at its best when a dead tiger, brought into camp to be skinned, is exposed in the open. Overhead is a cloudless sky, and not a bird to be seen in that groat void by the human eye. The tiger's body is thrown from the pad to the ground, and before the skin has been removed there above one and always nearing the earth are the vultures circling, poising like things ot air, now a dozen of them, in a few minutes a sooro or two and then a hundred strong. Then, when the flayed carcass of the tiger is left by those who skinned it, the vultures descend. Down they come like feathered thunder out of the sky, and from east and west aud north and south, the very embodiment of power while they whitled aloft and in their quick descent to earth, and now, as they waddle around that carrion beast, misshapen ghouls, whose only apparent strength is that of the ravening jaws whioh tear and gorge the tiger's flesh, until within the hour naught of that splendid brute remains but a clean picked skeleton.—Sir Edward Bradden's "Thirty Years of Shikar."

Derivation of 1WL

The derivation of this word is possibly traceable in the Welsh language. By the law of mutation of initial consonants peculiar to that tongue the root words ffedd and medd are convertible terms. Their essential meaning is possession transitive or intransitive, possession of something, or the act of being possessed or engrossed by some occupation or vice. Welsh medd, and Irish, Sanskrit, and English mad, have similar meanings and are probably kindred words.

The word mad is not common in Teutonic idioms, so that the Anglo-Sax-ons probably borrowed it from the Welsh. Fad is therefore equally derivable from ffedd. Proximately, of course, it oomes from the midland dialects and ultimately from some root word oommon to many members of the Aryan family of

speech.

It would be strange

If the two words, mad and fad, having similar meaning, should be traceable to the same root-—Notes and Queries.

A VERY DANIEL INDEED.

If Ton Haven't the Money, You Can't Pay, Decided the Policeman. A policeman accomplished a delicate piece of diplomacy the other afternoon at Cathedral parkway and Columbus avenue. Excavations are in progress there for a new building, and a gang of Italian laborers are doing the work under the eye of a boss of their own nationality. As the writer approached the spot a yonng Italian laborer was angrily exchanging words with the foreman. He carried his coat on one arm and over the opposite shoulder was slnng his shovel, which he removed and shook in the intensity of his gesticulation. Suddenly he saw a policeman near by, and he made a dash for the bluecoat and asked for his assistance.

The officer came along with the Italian, and the two joined the foreman. The policeman, who was an Irishman some 40 years old, wore a magisterial air, looked patronizingly and kindly upon the two Italians, who spoke good English, and then he listened gravely to tiieir tale of woe. The boss had discharged the young fellow on the spot, alleging that he did not do his work satisfactorily. The young man wanted his wages up to date. The policeman thought that this was only fair and so told the foreman. "But I haven't the contractor's money," exclaimed the foreman. "Let him go to the office. His time.is there, and he'll get his money."

The policeman looked as wise as ah owl, and then turning to the young Italian he thus delivered judgment: "The best thing'you can do ia to go to the office and get your money. If he (pointing to the foreman) can discharge you on the spot, you ought to get your money on the spot. But, you see, the foreman hain't got it."

The policeman gave his thumb a jerk toward the street, the young Italian took the hint and with a sorrowful but resigned air started on his mission to the office. A "I think my view of the justice of the situation was right," said the officer a moment later, "buthow could the fellow get his money from a man who didn't have it? Anyhow, I saved a rumtins. So he did.—Ijew Y.ork Tribuna

The Sight of Birds.

Birds are commonly credited with an extraordinary range of vision. Circumstances lend aid to the development of the mental factors in their casd. The usual distance at which terrestrial species use tiieir eyes is limited by the ground horizon. But in the case of the soaring birds, such as vultures und eagles, the horizon, the natural limit of is no

Macgilli ray early noted that though birds of prey have orbits of great size— the eyeball of the common buzzard being inches in diameter—they do not, as a rule, soar when seeking their

piey-

The eagle when hunting flies low, just as do the sparrow hawk and the henharrier. Yet the vultures and condors, birds which admittedly do soar when seeking food, have been proved to find carrion by sight. A carcass was covered with canvas and some offal placed upon it. The vultures saw this, descended and ate it and then sat on the covered portion within a few inches of a putrid carcass. When a hole was made in the covering, they saw and attacked the food below. But the rapid congregation of vultures from a distance to a carcass is probably due to their watching their neighbors, each of which is surveying a limited area. Charles Darwin pointed out that in a level country the height of sky commonly noticed by amounted man is not more than 15 degrees above the horizon, and a vulture on the wing at the height of between 8,000 and 4,000 feet would probably be two miles distant and invisibla Those which descend rapidly and appear to have come from beyond the iange of human sight were perhaps hovering vertically over the hunter when he killed his game.—London Spectator.

A Woman's Heart.

ONE DISEASE THAT BAFFLES THE PHYSICIAN.

The Story of a Woman who Suffered Nine Tears. How Slue was Cared. (From the Newark, N. J., Evening News.)

Valvular disease of the heart has always been considered incurable. The following interview therefore, will interest the medical profession, since it describes the successful use of anew treatment for this disease. The

S.,

atient is Mrs. Geo. Archer, of Clifton, N. and this publication by the New is the first mention made of the case by any newspaper. All physicians consulted pronounced the patient suffering with valvular disease of the heart, and treated her without the slightest relief. Mrs. Archer said: "I could not walk across the floor neither could I go up stairs without stopping to let the pain in my chest and left arm cease. I felt an awful constriction about my arm and chest as though I were tied with ropes. Then there was a terrible noise at my right ear, like the labored breathing of some great animal. I have often turned expecting to see sour creature at my side. "Last July," continued Mrs. Archer,"I was at Springfield, Mass., visiting, and my mother showed me an account in the Springfield Examiner, telling of the wonderful cures affected by the use of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. My mother urged me to try the pills and on November 25th last I bought a box and began taking them, and I have taken tbem ever Bince, except for a short interval. The first box did not seem to benefit me, but I persevered, encouraged hy the requests of my relatives. After beginning on tht. second box, to my wonder the noise at my right ear ceased entirely. I kept right on and the distress that I used to feel in my ohest and arm gradually disappeared. The blood has returned to my face, lips and ears, which were entirely devoid of color, and I feel well and strong again.

My son, too, had been troubled with gastritis and I induced hinrfo try the Pink Pills, with great benefit. I feel that everybody ought to know of my wonderful oure and I bless God that I have found something that has given me this great relief."

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are now given to the public as an unfailing blood builder and nerve restorer, curing all forms of weakness arising from a watery condition of thei blood or shattered nerves, two fruitful causes of most every ill that flesh is heir to. These pills are also a speoifio for the troubles

ieculiar to females, such as suppressions, all of weaknen, ehronio constipation, bearing down pains, etc., and in the case of men will give speedy relief and effect a permanent cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork, or excesses of whatever nature. The pills are sold by all dealers, or will be sent post paid on receipt of prloe, (50 a box. or six boxes for $2.50—they are never sold in bulk, or by the 100) by addressing Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Scheneo* tady.N.Y.
