James P. Voorhees, son of Senator Voorhees, seems to be making a greater business successor as a sculptor than he did as an actor, bis rendition of Hamlet being well remembered here by many of our citizens. His statue of Richard Maloolm Johnston, who was once vice president of the United States, was recently plaoed In a niche in the senate chamber, where it attracts much attention by its Jikeness to the original. He has also completed a bust of Cramp, the Philadelphia ship builder, and has a coin mission for a bust of C. P. Huntington, the railroad magnate.

Tne Terre Haute Brewing Co. has been taking judgments against saloonkeepers with more than the usual frequency Persons acquainted with the business are not surprised and they predict that after the first of the year many more will go to the wall. The saloon business has fallen off 33 per cent in the receipts in the past three months and the prominent np town places have suffered with those in the outlying distriots. The saloon business had been overdone, it is said, and the prospeot is that the baok ers of a number of them will do as the Chicago brewing companies are doing, that is close them and realize whatever is possible by the sale of stock and fixtures.

There is a fresh lot of trouble for many persons growing out of thoir sub sorptions to the Encyclopedia Brltan uica. The Werner company, of Chicago successors to R. S. Peale fe Co., brought a suit this week to replevin a set sold to a subscriber,and it was said that similar suits will be brought in a large number of cases. The agent sold two hundred sets on the promise that coupons would he furnished which would entitle the holder to ten per oent. discount on pur chases in a number of stores. Mer chants refused, after a time, to honor the coupons on the ground that the company had issued more than thestip mated number. The subscribers then refused to make further payments for encyclopedia. city has lost two or three cases -ufought against the Eviansville & Terre

Haute road for blocking the crossing at Poplar street. The evidence does not seem to be sufficient to convict. The railroad company is trying to avoid prosecu tion and usually has the best of the test! mony when a case comes up. One of the park commissioners who took interest in the matter of the opening of Ohio street said it was his idea to rigidly enforce the laws and ordinances at the crossing and if that were done the railroad company would quickly come to terms for the opening of Ohio street because with the privilege of switching over Poplar street practically probibiiod the company would be willing to move its yat ds south of Poplar. UH

The association of city ministers has formed an organization to help Miss McComb in her work in the West End She had gone into that locality, com paratively neglected by the churob workers of the city, and alone bad estab lisbed a mission. She personally la bored with the people and was making a decided impression. The new organization is to be know.n as the "City vitRslon Society," The member of any church may become an active member and any psrson may become an associate mwrnber on the payment of $1 The workings of the society are to be governed by a hoard of directors which shall meet on the first Monday of each month.

aged with a view of catering to the welfare of that oity in preference to all other points the time oard Is made to suit Chicago. Terre Haute becomes a way station. It used to be that a Terre Hautean could get a night's rest at home and leave on the early morning train 'or tbe north. Now the train leaves here at 2:49 a. m., and, worse still, it does not stop until it arrives at Danville. Terre Haute business men cannot transact business in the towns between here and Danville the same day. The towns north of here are complaining of the new schedule. The Chicago A Eastern Illinois having no rivalry in the territory is treating the people with utter disregard for their wishes.

James W. MoCammon, tjie funny little man the seat of whose trousers wipes the curbstone when he steps off the sidewalk, who was the railroad and Adams Express agent at Farmersburg, and whose peculiar presence attracted the attention of passengers on Evansville A Terre Haute trains, will be seen no more strutting around the depot. He left snddenly last Saturday and took with him money that did not belong to him, the amount being variously estimated at from $1,000 to $4,000. MoCammon Was about thirty years of age, and had been agent for three years, previous to whioh he was on the Evansville A Richmond road when it was under the Mackey control. La9t Saturday he hired a horse and buggy and drove the sixteen miles to this oity in one hour and a quarter, arriving at the Big Four depot just in time to jump aboard the 1:33 p. m. westbound train, whioh he left at Mattoon, where he took an Illinois Central train for tbe south. He was a single man, and one reason he gave for hiring the horse was that he wanted to go to Sullivan to get a marriage lioense. Tbe young woman who was thought to be his affianced wife repudiated him and said she had never told him she would marry him.

A Good Nat tired Emperor.

It was a few evenings before tbe emperor's departure for the Fran

The

00-Aus­

trian war. General de Cotfce was on duty at the time, and after dinner went down to the smoking room set apart for the military and civil household. "The thing is settled," he said aloud, lighting a cigarette. "In a day or two we shall be on our way to Italy, unless Providence and the lunacy commissioners stop us at the first stage at Charenton." (Charenton is the Paris madhouse. Half an hour later the general went up stairs to the empress' drawing room. He had scarcely entered the apartment when the emperoi came up to him with a smile. "My dear general," he remarked quietly, "I have too much respect for the opinion of others, even when they are diametrically opposed to mine, to ask people to fight battles the causes for which they do not approve. You will remain in Paris •with the empress."

That did not suit the general's book at all, but he did npt ntter a word in defense. He only bowed. He was, in fact, too astonished at his oomment having reached the ears of the emperor so soon. As far as he was aware, no servant had entered the room while he was there. He was then reluctantly compelled to conclude that an equal had played the part of telltale, and that alone would convey a fair idea- of the code of honor that obtains among the immediate entourage of the sovereigns. Nevertheless he was not going to be left out of the fighting, so on the 14th of May he simply had his horse and baggage taken to the imperial train, selected a seat in an empty compartment and only showed his face at Marseilles. The emperor merely smiled and held out his hand. This is a sample of the emperor's amiability, of his willingness to let bygones be bygones.—-North American Review.

Woman Won.

Charles M. McBride is the president of the Bayonne (N. J.) school board. A steam heating plant was put into public school No. 5 last summer. Mrs. Ellen Rigney has been jauitress of this school for so long that the little girls of a generation or more ago are now sending their own children to the same old school and telling them to call her "Aunty Rigney." When the steam heating plant "was put in, there was need of an engineer. Two men, Gallagher and Devaney, were candidates, but the board elected Mrs. Rigney. Then the president of the board said that if Mrs. Rigney's appointment was not rescinded he would resign. A compromise was reached, under which the two male contestants and the woman appointee ran the furnace for a day each. The school board sat as jury. When it was all over, President McBride said: "Gentlemen, I withdraw my resignation. I apologize to the lady. She is an engineer."

A WOMAN'S MEDICAL CLUB.

Doing Haeh Good and Fromiiinf to Do More—What It la Like. The first anniversary of the Woman's Medical club of Chicago reminds us again of the fact that women's cluba oontinue to multiply and flourish and gain respectful recognition despite tbe suspicions of curious husbands, who were inclined to subject them to critical inspection when they first began to see light, and they have reached a point, too, where they represent as much diversity in tone as the man's club. This medical club, formed one year ago, was the first club of the kind ever organized in this country exclusively for women, and its object is to afford social as well as scientific advantages, to furnish opportunity for a more intimate acquaintance among women of the medical profession and bring about a harmony between them which oould not exist without some means of meeting together and holding discussions entirely independent of the men. Women are not cordially received in men's medical societies, so this medical club was a natural consequence. Last, but not an altogether unimportant reason for establishing this club, was the more frivolous one of giving them a chance to indulge in harmless gossip over the cup of tea which ia a woman's substitute for the cigar and glass of wine which men find necessary to be sociable, and whether she is a serious minded doctor or a sooiety woman she delights in her cup of tea and the friendly intercourse it brings.

That the progress of women in the medical profession is continuous is attested by the increasing number of women physioians and their growing success, in spite of the fact that they have to contend with a lack of faith in their skill and judgment simply because they are women. The city of Chicago, with the suburbs, claims 250 women doctors, and many of those among the younger women are fitted to be surgeons. Dr. Gertrude Gail Wellington, who is a graduate of the Women's Medical college of the New York infirmary, was the first president of the club and has ably served her term of one year. Besides the usual number of ruling officers there is aboard of councilors, to whom all questions in regard to the ethics of the medical profession are referred.

During one year the club has given a number of entertainments and receptions, besides several banquets at the Auditorium hotel, to which men in the profession w~re invited. Aside from the social part, the women have done some good ^ork in municipal reforms. By soliciting the aid of the press, and their own combined efforts, they succeeded in preventing the proposed abolishment of milk inspectors, and petitioned the city oouncii to consider the necessity of a smallpox hospital, which was finally built. The disposition of garbage and the best methods for removing it is another subject which has received their attention.

Dr. Wellington has taken great inter est in the punishment of boys between 12 and 17, who are now seiit to prison, where they associate with other criminals, and recommends the establishment of a school for them where they can be taught according to their speoial needs, and that they be sent to an asylum where they can have a doctor's care rather than to the penitentiary. The "pet scheme" which absorbs some of the attention of the club just at present is to establish a free hospital in connection with the International Medical Mission institute, a college which gives both men and women a practical education in medicine. It will be interesting to watch the result of this concerted action among the medical women, as there certainly is a wide range of subjects which may come up for discussion and no limit "to the good which is within their power to promote.—New York Sun.
