MAN ABOUT TOWxN.

General Manager Turner, of the Vandal ia, told a reporter of one of the daily papers who called to ask about the report printed in another paper to the effect that he would move hiB office to St. Louis, that "you cannot always believe what you read in the newspapers," and then he said that the statement was "prema ture." It is an old evasion with publio men when asked about a matter which they do not want to discuss in the newspapers to say, "you can't always believe what you read In the newspapers," but it does not evade the question any more than did Mr. Turner's statement. The -fact is that it was not intended to keep the general manager's office here. Man About Town quoted President McCrea as saying so in effect. When I asked him at the time of the annnal meeting in January if Mr. Turner would remain here the big Pennsylvania offiolal looked at me as much as to say, "I would rather not talk about that," and answered my question by saying, "For the present, he will." I see that the oity papers are oow saying, in regard to these Vandalta changes: "As exclusively printed" in the one then discussing the changes. This remark was made this week in commenting on Mr. Turh'SVa past order. Man About Town was the first tooall attention to the significance of the ohange in the management *f |he Van dalia as to the relations of'the Oompany with the employed atfd tfltti tVavellflg brotherhood men. It was then said that one of the first changes in oper atlng the road would be to drop the "Van's" liberal polioy of passing railroad men over the road. I told how Mr. MoCrea was In the habit of losing his temper when the question of organised labor was brought up for his consideration. The Pennsylvania will not recognize organizations of Its employes. The changes in the Vandalia are only beginning' made. Naturally the Pennsylvania management wanted to allay all nervousness on that score, to the end that there might be as little demoralization as possible in the operation of the road pending the taking ef feot of all the ohanges that had to be made to brlhg the operation of the prop erty into thorough harmony with Pennsylvania Ideas. Then, too, there was a thought to t.he possible loss of business if it were understood that all the old time men and ways were to be ohaoged the too sudden sundering of these relations might bring on a feeling of re sentment with the general publio in these parts. Even after Mr. MoCrea returned to Pittsburg he sent out a statement whioh stated nothing Inconsistent with the carrying out of such a pro

of chaoses, but which at the same

tliue was calculated to reassure nervous people. The Terre Haute press was fed the same sort of statements and re,«j,4o*d. As I said at the time of the vti\nge In the heads of the system, it Is jjrJP^terous to say that the Pennsyi vania P®°Ple»

whohave

ejJfht

managed seven or

thousand miles of road far beyond tyre experimental stage and who believe ey have reduoed the matter of "best polioy" to a scientific oertalnty, will continue to operate the Vandalia' en the old polioy that we all liked and thought was the beet. The Vandalla's liberal dealing with everyone was thought to be profitable in the end, but the Pennsylvania people have their own ideas

About that and what is more they own the road. As to the ohanges in the headquarters arrangements, it was also said in this oolumn that even the Vandalia officials oould see where there might be a saving of many thousand dollars a year to the new owners by consolidation of offices rather by merging of Van offioea into those of the big system. This la all to be done yet, and you mast believe It unless you want to swallow the talk of the these who believe what they hope for instead of the palpable faet. The Penney I van la people are wall-die-

The poetoffloe department has had more spotters here trying to catch letter carriers a half a minute off schedule time. Even if there had been a chance to catch some of our carriers doing something blameworthy, there was little prospect of the spotters doing so because the carriers knew of the presenoe of the apiee before they had long been here. Then two of them had to disclose their identity because they were taken in oharge by the polioe. They were hang--ing about Prise' place on north Thirteenth street and Frisz had become suspicious that perhaps they intended to rob his plaoe. He notified Patrolman Fox who placed the men ander arrest on a charge of "suspicion." They showed their credentials and were released. But their description reaohed the oarriers and when they were seen loitering afcout the streets by a carrier he knew exactly what they were doing. mm——m

The horse sale has been a big success. It is now known that there will be a combination sale here at least once every year. The faot is that horses brought better prices here than anywhere else this year, the average being higher than at the Fasig sale in New York, which Is the big sale of the year. Indeed, I am told that the "buyers" and "dealers" thought the prices were too high and Peter Duryea, of New York, who Is one of the largest "dealers" in the country went home before the sale was over because he did not want to pay the prloes the horses were bringing. A "dealer," when you are speaking of a comb! nation horse sale, is the man who buys "bargains" to sell them again. He knows who wants horses and what kind tbey want and be picks them up at these public sales to sell at private sale to the "buyer," who is the man that buys for his owu use. One dealer who came here from the east will ship away several oar loads -of horsfft. The breeders believe that the result of the sales means that there is an advancing market. Prloes have been very low for a year or more. You hear a great deal about the sales of horses for amounts less than fifty dollars. I was told by one who knows all about horses, and more too, as the boys say, that the men who made the money on these oheap horses are the men who sold them. The horse whioh sells for less than fifty dol lars at a sale of this character selling for all he is worth.

posed, of course, but not to the extent of cheaper telephone service and they want spending anywhere from twenty to thirty thousand dollars a year which could be saved by making the ohanges.

There Is not so much jingoism in the Terre Hsute atmosphere over the Spanish trouble as there was over the Venezuela quarrel with John Bull. I suspect the jingoes in oongress are playing the game beyond the limit. There can be no possible objeotlon to the expression of horror over Spanish atrooities in war nor of sympathy for the victims of Spanish oppression in governing Cuba. Humanity demands, perhaps, that this country should do more than give expression of sympathy, but there then comes in a question which received no consideration in congress. It is as to whether or not Cuban rebels have established themselves sufficiently to be entitled to be treated as belligerents, not to say to be recognized as an independent government. It is very doubtful if the people who represent the intelligence and property interest of Cnba want the insurrection to succeed. Undoubtedly tbey would like to be free from Spanish rule, but the question is if they do not believe they would be as bad off under the rule of the adventurers who fere at the head of the insurrection. The jingo polioy in this, country is a good thing when it is right and proper to make a display of united opposition to some thing we know all about, but if we get in the habit of sasslng nations right and left we are liable to be slapped in the face and then we jirftl,$ji{ye to fight it out, winning in the end, it is true, but st great oost of life and treasure. Judging from the newspapers tf»e exoitement does not exist outside ofcongress and a few communities that would be direot beneficiaries by a change in the governmont of Caba.^

The Peoples Telephone oompany were again before the council this week asking for a franohise and again there was a convenient exouse for refusing the requeet. The oompany offered to aooept some of the conditions that were imposed in the objectionable ordinance last fall and it la understood the oounoil would have, granted the franchise had not Mr. Walsh some forward with a. promise that In few days another home oompany would offer to pay the oity a per oent. of its revenue if the oounoil would give it a franohise. The oounoilmen did not dare to rote down Mr. Watch's motion for delay after this promise had been made because they feared the political effect in the oity campaign which will soon be on. That some sort of a franchise will be voted before election day there is no doubt but who will get it and what It will result in is problematical. The oouncilmen now thoroughly realise that the people of the crlty are displeased with the action of the ooundl whioh deprived the city of! priC68

tot make amends before the day of jndg' ment. It was understood last fall after the Peoples ordinance had been laid on the table that the Bell oompany had paid off its lobbyists and that it would not again use money to prevent the Peoples oompany seouring a franchise. In fact some of the lobby wanted to be em* ployed in that direction. There is no definite trace of Bell money or taotlos in the present opposition but about the time when It was known the home oompany would go before the oounoil again a Mr. Knight appeared on the scene. He came from Lafayette and represents the Indiana construction oompany whioh ia. a wheel within the Harrison company* jj wheel. Mr. Knight said he was here to bid for the construction of a plant torf the Peoples oompany but from all acin counts he is the promoter of the new, citizens oompany. Mr. Longyear, wh secured the franohise for the same oon, struotion oompany last year, is now pudiated by that oompany and the debnsu: he contracted for the services of thosdh who solioited suosorlbers and for advertising spaoe in the newspapers have noV^f, been paid. Mr. Longyear's scheme, it will be recalled, was to sell enough of the stock of his company to Terre Haute capitalists to pay for the plant on which his construction oompany would make a. handsome profit and then to pocket I' about twenty thousand dollars worth of stock for additional profit. The local capitalists were not gullible and he didn't sell his stock and he forfeited his franohise. Then the People's oompany was organized by the capitalists who had sense enough to know that if Mr. Longyear could put in a plant for thirty or thirty-five thousaud dollars they might as well put it in themselves, and not give an outsider twenty thousand dollars worth of stock for coming here to tell them how it oould be done. It is sup^ posed that Mr. Knight wants local oap& talists to give him the same aid that VaS refused Mr. Longyear. The inducement is that the home stockholders may have a majority or the stock whioh means that they may meet all demands on tlur oompany. Naturally Mr. Longyear was, and no doubt Mr. Knight will b^, willing to aooept a franohise whioh oalls for a per cent, of the earnings whiofc| some one else will have to pay
