railroad official speaking of the action of tbe Central Traffic association raising tbe rate for olergymen from IX oents to 2 oents a mile paid it woald have to be ratified by tbe general managers before it goes into efieot. Tbe necessity for the aotlon, be said, arose from tbe frequent, violation of tbe privilege by olergymeu. Of course it won't do to jump to tbe conclusion that olergymen generally impose on tbe railroads but tbere is a surprisingly large number who make dishonorable use of their special permits. A Chicago preacher in an interview on the subject, said he ••didn't care a rap, whion, I suppose, is tbe same thing as damn, for himself but he thought ihe railroads would lose business by raising tbe rate. Prominent ministers are called by outside oburcbes for special occasions and often tbe railroad fare cuts an important figure with poor churches. With higher fare these calls will be fewer and meetings whloh would have caused people to ride on the railroads will be abandoned. Other preachers interviewed said there would be a net loss of receipts to the railroad oompanies by the falling off of travel by olergymen. It doesu't seem to occur to the clergymen that perhaps there is an obligation on tbern as a body to protect the railroads against tbe dishonorable olergymen.

The esteemed Tribune comes to the defense of Professor Waldo because Man About Town commented on his all wise way of cntioising Edward K. Bok tor his article on the brutality of football. Waldo proceeded on tbe assumption tbat Bok was given to loose assertions, because he said there bad been 46 fatalities from injuries received playing the game In one year. An article from the Western Era, whatever that may be, is quoted In censure of Bok. It will occur to most persons that it is a very lame defense of the game as it has been couduct ed In the past few years to quibble as to tbe exaot number of deaths. Players have been killed there is no disputing that statement, and brutality has characterized many if not most of tbe big games. We know tbat to be the faot beoause the captains and participants have rushed into print to explain it or to excuse it by saying the "other fellows be gan It." The press, not the sporting papers or oollege publications, very generally' condemned the game as played last year on this account, as also because it had become an occasion for heavy betting. I have no doubt from what I know of Waldo that he would not en courage horse races because gambling Is aasoolated with them. In connection with tbe talk of tbe brutality of the game the following editorial from the Chicago Record yesterday is to the point: "If the managersof tbe approaching Yale Princeton football game in the east are amart and oare for tbe interests of the game they will take steps to see that it is a good, clean contest, without brutality and without tbe needless roughness which in the Tale-Harvard game a year ago called forth an outcry throughout the country. The match will be the most oonspioooas of the year and will set tbe pace for tbe oontests of the year following. It will decide what Is to be the digb-water mark in football playing. In the clroumstanoes the con test should be made as olean and mannerly as the neoessartly rough sport of the pigskin will allow. The managers should keep in mind two facts: If this game is deoently and well oonduoted much of the disfavor Into which football fell last year will be removed while if it is like tbe brutal games of a year ago and a number of bruised and broken players are borne of! the field the outcry against the sport will return with re-j doubled emphasis."

The curfew ordinance is a reflection on Terre Haute parent*, and it Is calcu lated to give the city a worse reputation than all the talk about Terre Haute

being a wide-open town.*' What would be your first impression, and first im« presaious are the lasting ones with (he busy reader, if you should see in the newspapers that Grand Rapids, Dayton, or some oity of our clans had passed au ordinance providing that the police should assume parental duties over boys and girls under sixteen years of ageT The motives of the advocates of the curfew ordinance are not to be called into question. The doubt is as to the necessity of the measure, or its effljaoy. We have a board of children1* guardians to care for those children not under proper parental supervision, and it would seem that its one officer could look after all the delinquents. At any rate, it is not a pleasant thought that the polloe authority of the oity has to be Invoked in the training of the children of Terre Haute.

Farden and Barnett pleaded guilty and were sentenced to five years in the penitentiary at Miohigan City and fined |600. Under the federal law five years is the maximum term ot imprisonment. A lawyer, commenting on the sentenoe, called attention to the announcement in local newspapers that tbe 'Might sen' tenoe" had been secured by their attor ney, Mr. Lamo, and said that be was tbe most successful lawyer in Terre Haute— in getting this sort of advertising. Tbe Plnkertons learned enough to convince them that Farden lost his part of tbe $16,000 gambling and in extravagant living. He was busy throwing the money away. Hia part, it so happened, was several thousand dollars less than what Barnett bad, and tbere 1r no trace of what became of the latter's money. It is believed tbat muob of it Is where he or some one for him can easily obtain it. Farden believed that Barnett had served him a mean triok, and when tbe two men were first together in tbe jail in Indianapolis Farden attacked him viciously. Afterward they were on better terms. Barnett took his arrest and sentence in acbeerful mood, which tended toconflrm the belief of thePinkertons and the express company officials that he was several thousand dollars "to tbe good." Farden was dispirited, and Old Remorse was constantly bearing down on him.

Tbe telephone ranobise for the People's company is still banging fire in tbe council No one in tbe council says be is opposed to a new company some who have aided in defeating the franchise say they hope to see a competitor for the old company in tbe field, but outside influences have seemingly has been suffi cient to delay this uulversally desired result for several months. Tbe men who are trying to prevent it are pre tending that they want to proteot the city's interests. They propose to handi cap tbe franchise so tbat it will not be accepted. Some one suggested that the People's company make a new offer, to which suggestion Mr. Hulman, a member of the company, said tbat be thought they had done and said all tbat could be expected of them. They were not grasping at tbe opportunity to enter tbe telephone business as a means of making a fortune. They believed the city sbuuld have the beueflt of lower rates, and thought they could get a fair return on their investment. Moreover, should they make another offer, it would only serve to give the opponents new points for discussion, under cover of which tbere would be more delay. All sorts of stories are set afloat by the agents of the old company to discredit the new com pany and-raise doubt as to the sincerity of tbe gentlemen who incorporated it The contract the company enters* into with subscribers is in Itself a guarantee that it is to be permanent, to all intents and purposes, if it begins business at ah

There is quite a contrast between the manner in which the Bell Telephone company seeks to thwart tbe city and that of the Evansville A Terre Haute road. The latter has employed lawyers who will resist in tbe courts the attempt to open Ohio street. The former em ploys lobby ISM |n their effort to prevent action. I have not beard tbat the railroad's representatives have made tbe slightest effort to Influence counoilmen. Perhaps they could have raised a discussion in tbe oouncil as to tbe advisability of trying to open the street, just as the Bell company has raised a discussion as to the advisability of granting a franchise to a competing oompany.

It may be accepted as a fact tbat we *ill have a two weeks running meeting next June. At the meeting of the board of directors of tbe Vigo Agricultural society yesterday this was virtually agreed upon. No one opposed the suggestion and tbe committee of three appointed with power to act are in favor of It. This means tbere will be but one trotting meeting—that of the trotting aasooiatton in the fall. There baa been more rivalry and clashing of Interests, in regard to tbe holding of two harness meetings than tbe general publlo bas been aware of but the action will allay much of this feeling. This year the two associations entered into an agreement to share profits and losses and they will divide 114,000 profit. The financial suc

cess oi the meetings is not du» to ths amount of the gate receipts. Perhaps the total of these would not pay the advertising aooount. the money from tbe sale of |jrl?Uege» and from fees for the entrance of horses made up the great proportion of the receipts. Kaoh association had a caah profit of about thirty* five hundred dollars on its meeting but there are nearly eleven thousand dollar* in entrance fee*of which it is thought 60 per cent, can be collected It Is believed that the novelty of running races aloha will makethemsuooessful for one seaaon at least Tbe expense is not heary. The purses are light compared with thoseIbr harness races Five raoea a day can be given for 2.000 The entrance fee is fiO, whatever the amount of the purse, and there will be an average of ten starters in eaott raoe One of tbe big sources of revenue will be tbe sale of the bookmaklog privilege. It is thought there will be not less than twenty booths. The bookmakers at the trotting meetings paid 9100 a day.' There were five of them and that meant $2,500 for tbe meeting. Perhaps there will be no "Old Hi" at tbe running meeting. Running horse men will not bring their horses to a meeting tbat is for less than ten days which, with no racing on Saturday, means a two weeks meeting. Word bad been received here that Indianapolis wants to give a running meeting and tbe prob* ability is tbat arrangements will be made so tbat one will immediately follow the other.

It has been ten years at least since there was a running raoe in this oity. No horse has made tbe olrouit of the present traok at the running gait except the pacemakers whose appearanoe with a trotter or paoer has been as interesting to tbe crowd as tbe feat of the world's record maker itsef.
