•ft ON THE QUI VIVE.

A committee of the Vigo bar association has decided that one Thomas Foutz, who came here from Lafayette some time ago, and applied for admission to practice before our courts cannotdoao because he is a "common usurer." It strikes me thai a man who charges thirty five per cent.interest a month for the use of money as Foutz 1b charged with doing, la hardly to be classed as a "common" usurer. Rather he should be termed an "nncommon"one. Another reason given for the refusal to approve his application for admission is that he is not sufficiently versed in a knowledge of the law and rules of practice. This allied to the oommon usury clause may be enough to debar him from the practice of the profession, but if the committee should make an examination of all the attorneys ractlciug here, and recommend that the (right of practice be withdrawn from those who are not familiar with the law aod rules of procedure, there would be a chinning out tbat would be startling. But, fortunately for the committee, that iBn't part of their duties.

Col. Thos. H. Nelson, the most diplomatic diplomat that the Wabash valley has ever disclosed to a discerning world, celebrated the 'steenth return of his thirty-ninth birthday on Thursday, and he doesn't seem a day older than when he celebrated the first of these events many years ago. Time cannot wither nor custom stale his infinite variety, and he is to-day, as ever, the most entertaining talker tbat one oan meet in a day's walk, aye, in a two days' walk. Speaking of the Colonel reminds me of a characteristic remark with which he wab credited at the time the anniversary edition of The Mail was .published, containing the portraits of Col. Thompson, Senator Voorhees, Col. McLean, W. R. McKeen and himself, the "Big Five." When be saw the group he is said to have remarked, "Well, I cannot I understand why I should have been placed among such a lot of old fellows an Dick Thompson, Dan. Voorhees,

Riley McKeen and Bill McLean, unless it was to add an air of juvenility to the group."

If John Piety succeeds in all the numerous damage suits against the city as be has in the two that have thus far been tried, he will cover himself all over with glory. The jury disagreed in the Davis ca9e last week, and yesterday the .jury in the Welnsteln suit for $20,000, after being out for twenty-eight hours, came in with a report that they oould not agree. If be sucoeeds in having all the juries disagree, the city will have no .damages to pay.

The belt sewer is practically just as far from starting as it was years ago, when Dr. Swafford advocated it, and said that the council that started the project in good earnest would be called blessed by future generations. I Tuesday night the council disagreed about the employment of an engineer to make the preliminary steps looking toward the building of the sewer. The sewer oommittee reported In favor of an engineer named Cole, of Chicago, being et j§ed to do the preliminary work, at his price, 11,200, when George H. Simpson, a home engineer, offered to do the same work for $700, and this, too, when

Cole, said he intended to use the data already in the engineer's oBce, which every one knows was prepared by Simpson himself. Of course this report in favor of an outsider at the expet.se of a home expert led to a division, and the whole matter was referred to the finance committee, to replrt as to the financial outlook for the construction of the big outlet for the drainage of the eastern part of the olty. The flnanoe committee will doubtless report tbat it is impracticably at the present time.

The members of the council disagree as to the best plan to be adopted in building the sewer. It Is nothing new for them to disagree. One lot of them vant to begin right away and spend thirty or forty thousand dollars a year luntil the sewer is completed, which Ttbey admit would occupy several years. ^Another lot of them want to postpone laotion until it can be seen whether or loot the next legislature will give the L«?Uy special powers to issue sewer bonds [to cover the entire cost of the improveIment, and thus have the sewer built in [one season or as nearly so ss possible, land let the future residents pay for the [thing. Then there is another lot of the council who do not want the sewer Lbullt at all, at least not for the present. [And there you are. And tbat is why I

Ly the belt sewer Is no nearer completion, practically, than when Dr. Swaf[ford ventured the opinion years ago bat the man who fonght a measure •brough the council authorising lt» construction would by future generations called great,

A belt sewer would make the extreme InasUjrn and southeastern part of the olty. tace drainage is secured there, houses [vill go up so rapidly that the assessor rould have to hire extra help to enable him to keep track of the new improvements. Additional improvements would •f course increase the tax receipts, and

IMI

st§m

in the oourue of time these additional improvements would pay the greater part of the cost of the sewer itself. But how to get it started, that's tue question. The man who will outline a plan that will satisfy the several factions in the couucil will earn a medal for him *elf.-v1j

A youug man .who ha* always been much interested in woman would like an answer to the following questions:

Why she ever ebews gum? Why a woman doesn't keep her shoes blacked?

Why her card clubs alwavs end in a big row? Why she doesn't stop talking about her servant girls?

Why she allows a man to smoke when on the street with her? Why she persists in filing her finger nails to a sharp point?

Why she doesn't wear bats that can't be spoiled by a damp day |§g Why she sits on one foot when sh% wants to be "comfortable"?

Why she permits such an abomination as a cuspidor to come into the house? Why she doesn't recounoe the words cute," "nioe" and "perfectly grand" when talking of a sunset or a beefsteak?

Why she doesn't wear her hair in the way that is most becoming to her instead of spoiling her head by an unbecoming arrangement because it is "stylish"?

Why he is profane on the streets where women are passing and when there's no occasion for it?

Why he can't lie on a couoh without getting the pillows Into hard knotsunder his head, thus nearly dislocating his neck?

A HANDSOME MASONIC JEWEL. One of the most illustrious members of the Masonic fraternity, not alone in this community, but iu the entire country, is the Hon. Thomas B. Long, who, this week, retired from the position of Illustrious Grand Master of the Grand Council of Royal and Seleot Masters of Indiana, to which be was elected unanimously last year He is also known as a ready public speaker, who is always equal to the occasion. For once in hit life, however, he, this week, found it difficult to speak when called on to do so publicly. The occasion of his retirement from the position referred to was made the opportunity of presenting to him on behalf of Terre Haute Council, R. AS. M., a most beautiful jewel of a Past Illustrious Grand Master. The presentation was made at the cloe of Tuesday's proceedings of the Grand Council at India napolls, the speeoh being made by Alexander Thomas, himself a Past Illustrious Grand Master of the Grand Council. In it he referred to the high esteem in which Judge Long Is held by Terre Haute members of the craft, a brief acknowledgement of wh Job was to be made in the presentation of the jewel. Judge Long was visibly affected by the unex peoted testimonial, and for several moments stood embarrassed and unable to speak. He finally found voioe to tbank the donors for the jewel, and made a very eloquent little speech, saying among other things that the jewel coming to him as it did was one of the greatest surprises of his life, and would be treasured as one of his choicest possessions. The jewel was pronounoed by tho«e present to be the handsomest thing of the kind they had ever seen. It was made by Miohle Bros,, of Cinoinnsti, from their original design, and Is of solid gold, ornamented with figures and designs appropriate to the Council de-

"WHEN I GET MARRIED."

"When I get married," is constantly on the lips of young women. They fairly love the phrase, and, in introducing any remark with it, never fail to dwell upon the words affectionately and softly. The woman whip ija^iijjfered a profession or trade declares in all seriousness one minute tbat she is wedded to her work, and will never, never marry, and the very next she is saying "When I get married" so and so shall be this way or the other.

Several fresh, happy-looking girls were waiting for some biie in the vestibule of a church the other morning just after a fashionable wedding ceremony, says the New York Sun. "She positively forbade the bridesmaids to throw anv rioe after her^" Bald one with a mass 6* golden curls, meaning by "she" the bride. "Now when I get married, I'm going to let my bridesmaids and ushers throw peeks after me for two reasons. First, I really think the little white grains carry good luck with them. They seem emblematlo of plenty, and then I would like to think as I whirled away on my wedding trip that the little birds were having a wed ding breakfast of my rice. You've all seen them fly down and gobble up the grains tbat were scattered after the bride and bridegroom hadgoue, haven't you "Yes,

indeed,"

Sfisl'...'

And a woman would like to know about the lord of creation: Why he expectorates?

Why be ohews tobacco? A Why he doesn't like to gossip? Why he doesn't like to go to church Why he groans so when he has a little pain?

Why he doesn't wear the neckties his wife buyB for him? Why'he insults his stomach by taking mixtures over a bar?

Why he thinks he is going to die if he has ever so slight a cold? Why he smokes cigarettes after all tbat is admitted on that subject?^^^

Why he thinks it's bright and'cynlcal to sneer at women and women's work. Why he eats bakery pie and dough nnts and then wonders that he has Indigestion?

answered a plump girl

briskly, "but when I get married my maids and ushers shan't throw any rice after me, and she was exactly right to be firm about this matter. Rice throwing at weddings is a rello of barbarism, and I, for one, am glad it is going out of vogue. It's aotually dangerous. I once knew a bridegroom who had a miserable time on his wedding trip because a thoughtless girl threw a handful of rice in his eyes, causing inflammation to set in. Imagine a bridegroom with horrid red eyes! It's a wonder that the bride didn't fall out of love*1with him." "But what's one to have if one doesn't use rice?" asked an old woman who had joined the group. ''People somehow always feel so joyful on such occasions that they are obliged to hare some outlet for their feelings, and it seems to me that rice throwing is a very pretty and harmless old custom. I hate to see it dying out. Now, when I was married it was in the days when it was fashionable to have a dozen bridesmaids, and an equal number of groomsmen. W didn't have ushers then, but each maid and groomsman was provided with-a paper bag filled with one quart of rice, and such fun as they had throwing it at the departing couple! Ob, those were great days!" -, .. "But it isn't style any more," persisted the plump girl, "and besides a married man confided to me that the men in his club fell to talking about this oustorn the other evening, and upon exchanging experiences it turned out.that each married man present disapproved of it. All de clared that fully one-half ftje rice thrown at a wedding found its way down the bridegroom's oollar, rendering him utterly miserable for the first few hours of the wedding journey. But that is all go-, lng to be ohanged now, for they are introducing confetti for this purpose, and they are used with, oharming effect. Now, when I get married I am going to have a yellow wedding, and each brides-, maid will be provided with a horn of plenty made of small yellow oonfetti, whiob they can throw after as to their hearts' oontent in lieu of rioe and old ahoes, and my bridegroom will not have to go away Inwardly swearing and outwardly smiling."

What ^|e wnfetMj Mked the old woman. Why, I'll tell you," spoke up a young woman who had been a silent listener^ "The real oonfetti are tiny disks made of staroh and water in every conceivable color. They are used at the carnivals in Nioe and Monte Carlo and are so con struoted that they break when thrown violently. Talk about rice hurting! Why, nothing oould posilbly sting, any more than a handful of oonfetti thrown against the oheek or neck, and it was this very reason that caused the Italians

know they wear faoe masks, but the neokis exposed, and on fete day every Italian, man, woman and ohild, arms himself with a paper bag of oonfetti, and keeps up a continuous firing at the neek of everybody he meets. Howls of pain are constantly heard on all sides, and since I've had a dose of oonfetti in the neck while in Monte Carlo once, I think I won't take any in mine when I get married," she oOoeluded. "Why, tbat isn't the kind of confetti I mean," answered the plump girl In surprise. "I never even beard of that kind. ijpean paper oonfetti. They are little jjMtnd pieces of paper, not as large as a silver half dime, and about a ball pint are tied up in squares of gayly colored tissue paper. When thrown the paper bursts, and a perfect shower of oonfetti in every conceivable oolor falls about the bride and bridegroom, and looks too fbvely. They look as if they were going away In a gorgeously colored stage snowstorm, you know."

"I don't know what Miss Vanderbilt will upse, and it wouldn't make any dlfferehoe in my opinion If I did," put in a slender girl with large dreamy eyes, "but when I get married, and it isn't vpry long before I will, I'm not &oing .to allow my maids and ushers to throwjiitber rice or confetti after me. Therdf-isn't the least significance in either,1 aid both are disagreeable and dirty. j'm going to provide my maids .^jrith ijfjae leaves to throw after me as they did in the wedding scene in 'Lohengrin.' There's something lovely in thafeluea, and I should like to go away in a shower ofbeauty and fragrance." "How beautiful," exclaimed everybody, and for a minute everybody forgot rlofe and confetti in contemplation of such scene, until a jolly girl, who looked as if she had never thought of anything beyond bicyole riding, tennis, and aJ|olly good time generally,1 announced: "W«pl, when I get. married, I want everybody to be armed with old shoes to 'filing after me, for I know they bring good Ijiok. Y6u all can take the rioe and this dainty' oonfetti if you want to, butglveme the boots that are run down at the* heels, worn at the sides, and out at tbeitoes. Their mysterious power for good afr evil iaj.he matter of marriage is wonderful* ^FOKigin with, if you find a four l^af clover and put it in your shoe, you'll* marry the first man you shake handsfwitji. That gets you your sweetheart, see? Now if your shoe comes untied, hois thinking of you, ahd you can tell what kind of husband you have gained by the manner in whloh he wears out his own shoes/1 and then she reoited these lines:

Worn at the side, Rich man's brlde^ Worn on the heel, Spends a good deal worn at the ball, He'll spend it all Worn on the toes, Spends as be goes Worn on the vamp, Look out, he'sa soamp.

"The oustom of throwing shoes after a wedding party," she continued, "is widespread, and dates from the Middle Agea.:*&bmypola!m that it-had its o/igin in-the andtent custom of oarrying

the

bride by ti'ofonce, while others declare tbat it comes from the Jewish oustom of loosing the shoe as an aot of renuncia tiou. I don't know about these things, but I do knpsw that the old shoe has always played an important part in weddings and there's luck in it. It was onoe customary in Anglo-Saxon marriages for the father to deliver the bride's shoe to the bridegroom, who showed his authority by touching the bride on the. head with it." Z*' "If a bridegroom were to try that now adays he'd get the worst of it, wouldn't he?" asked the blonde, and everybody agfeedjwith her. "In Martin Luther's tlmfe," continued the jolly girl, undisturbed, "it was customary for the mintster to oonduot the bride to the bed after the ceremony, and place the husband's shoe at the head of theshow that he had taken control'of th% household. Wasn't that nerve for you? Bat let me tell you one thing, there is much luoky significance in shoes for engaged people and brides and bridegrooms, and I'm going to oonfess something. Come to my room and I'll show you the loveliest pair, that my fiance gave me when I was visiting his parents oat West. Of oourse I wouldn't dream of wearing them, except onoe or twice for luck but all the men out there are superstitious about shoes, and so are the girls It's a queer oustom but a girl oughtn't to mind taking a pair of boots chuck fttllof luck from the man she «sp*etB to marry soon, and I do want a whole cartful thrown after me when I step oft"

I've never h^ard of all thoee things ijaavdoi

At this'tbfe jolty girl rolled up her eyes, made a face, and said: "And it would never do for us not to have the correct thing, but—come on all of you and take a look at my engagement shoes.1"

Four thousand Indians, representing twelve tribes, were gathered in Yakima, Wash., ten days ago, oelebratlng some kind of jubilee. It was tbe largest collection of Indians in recent years, and doubtless one of the last. With the money earned in the bop fields and a recent distribution of money received for reservation lands tbe Indians had fully $100,000 among tbem, and thisthoy were doing their best to get rid of. The state fair was being held In Yakims, and there was every inducement for the red men to part with their cash. They gambled recklessly on the races, and bought guns, blankets, provisions, and practically everything in sight. Several Indian races were arranged, and in one squaw raCb more than two dozen Indian women took part.

AMUSEMENTS.

Three Great Attractions at Naylor's Opera House Next Week. The management of the Opera House announce three big attractions for the coming week, each of an entirely different character.

OOOM HOLLOW.

A natural pastoral drama, flavored with the breezy local color of Tennessee life,' and permeated with the soft southern atmosphere of its valleys, is a "Romance of Coon Hollow," which will be seen at the Opera House Tuesday evening, October 29th, with a wealth of scenery and meobanloal effects, and one of the largest acting companies on tbe dramatic stage. This pretty ideal, which was one of the substantial triumphs of the stage last season, is a romantic idyl with one of the quaintest and prettiest love stories as its theme, and given with thrilling Incidents and exciting situations. The realistic mechanical effect* used In elaborating the work add to its interest. The story finds its origin from tbe bursting of a dam in a romantic glen in Bast Tennessee that from earliest times had been known as Coon Hollow. A scene of tbe bursting of the dam with its torrent of running water isia magnificent scenic effect. Among the several others area steamboat race on the Mississippi at night between the Robert E Lee and Natohes- Tbe boats are lighted and ander fall head of steam a ostton

compress at work aod a moonlight view of Coon Hollow painted from life. All of the scones are given with new eleotric, calcium and lime light effects. A—\ band of plantation d^kies are seen in a wood landing place on th river, where by moonlight they indulge in the songs, dances and antics that

have

made the

colored race a humorous factor in his-^^ tory. Two quartettes of colored boys aod girls are beard in the quaint songs of tbe sunny south.

Second production of tbe week Yn one of the greatest successes of the present day, full of exciting interest and grand in scenio display, entitled "In Old Ken- ,r5l tucky," which will be seen at the Opera House Thursday evening, October 31st. It was tbe greatest money winner of last season and tbat its sucoess will be repeated this season there is no doubt. It is written in a graceful and glowing|| style and gives a fresh and charming picture of life in Kentucky during a most interesting period. Idyllic as the subject may appear at first thought, itk Is not entirely tuned in a tranquil key. Tbe action is partly in the romantic blue grass region and partly in thei mountains, the abode of those fierce moonshiners whose deadly feuds are* hot unlike the terrible vendetta of the lu Cdrsican. There are great opportunities for-Scenio display which the soene painter has taken ad vantage of. A great deal is claimed for the view of the Lexington race track indeed the managers confidently assert that it is the most realistio representation of a raoe traok(&?-•< ever seen upon the stage, while the horse raoe is described as one of the most spirited soenes ever put into a^'.V modern melo-drama. Many novel fea-j© tures are promised inoluding theorlginal piokaninny band composed of little."' darkles under twelve years of age, who

appear in a Southern plantation soenet^ ^\j| unlike anything ever before seen on the stage. VV#i

Last, but not least of the three attractlons, the youngest, most petite, and^ most gifted comedienne known to the stage, supported by Frederiok Paulding, an actor of repute, and a company of .CV oomedy players of such excellence as Is rarely seen In any organization. This charming little actress is Gladys Wallls, and will appear at the Opera House Saturday evening in Clay M. Green's latest work, a new dramatization of George Sands* "La Petite Fadettl," entitled "The New Fanchon," which will be presented with entire new scenery, painted by Walter Burridge, and Intro- 'y duoing the latest popular musio and new dances.

The above trio of the greatest of the travelling attractions should certainly give our theater goers sufficient novelty fqr one week.
