MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Harrison Park is to be opened Saturday, April 25th. It is understood to be the intention of Mr. Harrison to build an amphitheater at the rear of the old enclosure in which there were ground seats last season and add this much more seating accommodation. The amphitheater seats will beall right for the view of the stage and in the open air there will be no difficulty in hearing what is said or sung on tie stage. It is also the intention to extend the car line from Maple avenue to the park gate. The trees are full of squirrels and birds and they are being fed by the man who made his home in the stage rooms during the past winter.

The St. Louis street railway companies are going into the amusement business on a large scale this year. There will be electric fountains, chutes, Wild West shows and minstrels without end, according to the Globe-Democrat. Oue company which has a suburban line expended $40,000 last season for amusements and the company is making preparations 011 a larger scale for the coming season. Mr. Harrison it is said contemplates giving even a better show at the park this season than he did last, year ami already the public is looking forward to the pleasure to be had in a trip to the park. An open air attraction in summer is what Terre Haute has had been hungry for but did not know just what it wanted until we had Harrison park.

Manager Shugart of the Terre Haute baseball club would not consent to play the opening Sunday game in Indianapolis a week from to-morrow unless Manager Watkins of the Indianapolis club would give a guarantee of protection forthe visiting players from prosecution in the courts. Watkins would not undertake to do tljis because he does not know how the fight on Sunday ball will come out. The clubs which play the first Sunday game will be the sufferers and Manager Shugart wisely did not care to take the risk.

A wholesale merchant said that traveling men from the Terre Haute wholesale hoa us sell goods as cheap as they are sold out of Chicago and St. Louis, if not cheaper. Indianapolis is Terre Haute's most formidable rival. Terre Haute sells Jn Chicago and St. Louis territory without competition as to prices.

A man who is engaged in a business which is jocularly associated with broken promises was reproached as winter came on for failure to fill an order. He took the short cut out of the dilemma by saying:

Well, you must remember that the season for lying is coming 011." The season for contention between miners and operators is comiug on. The men are going to make a stubborn fight tlii* spring for an increase in the price for mining bituminous coal in the state. Judging from what the operators say they will stubbornly oppose the advance. As usual the Indiana situa tlon is made to hinge on the price paid in other states. Indiana is wedged between the Ohio aud Pennsylvania coal fields on one side aud Illinois on the other. When the price for mining in Ohio and Pennsyl vania Is down, the Indiana opt? rat tells the men that he cannot afford to pay what the men ask because of competition with the cheaper mined coal from those states It so happens this spring that th.» Ohio and Pennsylvania price for mining is high, that is, higher than in the past few years, and the Indiana operator falls back on the competition with Illinois coal, niii.u is mined very cheaply indeed. 1 rw'-.h, some years ago that I told an oilioi-U of the miners wUnt ha 1 heard an o'v»r»tor say In justification of the position operators were taking, and which I thought was a strong point. The official said: When you get to know the mining wages question better you will know that the operators always have a plausible statement *vady for the newspapers. If it isn't oue W«on it Is another why they cannot do miner justice" I have often thought

Wiat remark in watching wages strugbisince li Mi. Thtr« is a heap in it. 1 «ast tl) and thf year before the competition 1 the two suites to the east of Indiana the vital point with the operator. The /rators in the Pittsburgh district were fuen knocking down the miners* union and fixing prices to suit themselves. I^ast fall the operators and miners in that district got together ami agreed on better prices. Right here let me .say that it is not an uncommon thing for the operators ami miners in one field to enter into an agreement by which it is expected to take advantage of a disagreement and consequent idleness in another field, but the parties to such an agreement as likely as not may be at swords points a few mo uhs later. Perhaps It would be too iWftg an expression to nse, but the mining industrv and the sale of coal, of conirs? I mean by wholesale, like

wise the part the railroad companies play in it all, savors very much of whatis called cab-throat policy. I have known Indiana operators to take part in a meeting and. concur in a proposed united action and ten minutes after adjournment of the meeting when one operator told me that such had been the action, another said the operators would not act unitedly and that it was every operator for himself. Point blank violation of an agreement is not uncommon with some operators who give the men what they ask and hurriedly resuming operations jump into the market to capture some of the impatient customers of fellow operators with whom the agreement had been reached. Naturally this perfidy has resulted in a lack of confidence among the operators. There is suspicion also among the miners. They suspect their own representatives. A man who in former years was an active member of the division of the Knights of Labor which included the miners told me the other day of an experience he had in another state where he was sent as mediator in a dispute between the men and an operator. He served on a committee with two miners. They conferred with the operator and reached a satisfactory settlement. A few days later my friend received a letter from one of his fellow committeemen who said he suspected that the other committeeman had an inside pull with the operator by which he could secure concessions in such disagreements as the one just settled. There was suspicion for you. My friend wrote in reply that though this might be true that the writer and the complaining committeman might at least take credit for having been permitted to serve on the committee with the man whose pull secured what the men had gone on a strike to obtain. I have seen miners here at joint conferences watch their representatives as closely as asheriff's officer would watch a man he had in custody. Last Spring after the scale committee of the miners agreed to the 55 cents rate the men repudiated it and went on a strike for 60 cents. They won the strike because the operators could not be made to hold together but the men as a rule were convinced that the scale committee had been unduly influenced, not corruptly, perhaps, by the operators.

The success of the strike for 60 cents after the operators had said they never would pay it because they could not and make money will nerve the miners to insist on their demand for 66 cents at the beginning of the scale year May 1. They will not listen to the reasons to be offered by the operators why they cannot pay the higher price but will simply call attention to the fact that the mines have been busier since last Spring than for years at the 60 cents price which price the operations said would necessitate the closing down of all mines. It is true that Illinois coal has come into the market to a larger extent in the past few years and become a competitor such as it had not been. The increase in the output in that state in 1894 was greater in proportion than in any other soft coal state. Illinois coal mined three hundred miles from Chicago which never before had been seen in that city has been finding a sale there in the past year or so. The Illinois coal found a place in the market while Indiana at.different times was idle and it has held its place, so that there is, as I said, some truth in what the operators say as to the new competition. The Indiana operators say they would be willing to pay the higher price if Illinois operators are forced to pay its equivalent and for that reason an effort is now being made to organize the Illinois miners to the end that the Illinois scale may be advanced.

Mr. Russell Harrison said, the other day. when shown a telegram of inquiry from aNew York newspaper as to his intentions in regard to attending the wedding of his father and Mrs. Dimmick in New York next Monday, that he "had nothing to say for publication." There is no reason why he should say anything for publication and his courteous declination was altogether admirable, as indeed has been his conduct in the matter during the past few months. The common criticism of the newspapers for giving the details of such an event as the Harrison-Dimmick wedding is heard on all sides but the critics are the first to complain of the newspaper if it has but meagre information. The newspapers are just as good as the community that supports them if they are better they die young.

It seems to be a finally settled fact that Budd Doble will not again be seen in the sulky. A letter received here recently gave the information that he would soon go to Europe in regard^to his investment in that California gold mine in which he has sunk a fortune during the past twenty-five years. He is to be gone sev eral months. He will not be interested in trot ting horses, this year at least and those who kpow his intentions say he will never again take to the sulky, whatever may be his lot.

The report from Washington that Senator Yoorhees is in very bad health and that it is with difficulty he gets about recalls his experience four years ago. Prior to the session of congress of the winter preceding the campaign of 1892 the senator's friends here were alarmed because of his continued illness, and were especially fearful of a fatal result of the rheumatic trouble near his heart. At that time he took his sleep in a chair as he is now reported to be doing. The senator himself had the "bKes," and I remember hearing him speak of Mr. Blaine's poor health, and thought his remark that the great Republican leader was quite as much a sufferer by reason of his own apprehensions as from disease was inspired by his own effort to reassure himself that he was not so very ill. Whep the senator came home from the session of congress his appearance was that of a man ready to let go all holds. A few weeks later he was in the campaign and traveling about the state making speeches with as much fervor as

Today the pharmacist is a trained scientist, and pharmacy has been elevated to a profession. In its present farm it has no unclean and unpleasant features and is therefore liked by women. Nevertheless it is only of late years that they have overcome the former prejudices and crossed the threshold of the calling.

They have a natural aptitude for the trade on account of their constitutional caution, deftness and delicacy of touch. The first woman to enter the profession in our country was Mrs. Jane Loring of Boston, in 1800. She was a gran daunt of Congressman Loring. Under the old system there was no state supervision of the profession, and any one could take it up who desired withont any legal im pediments. Under this system over 1,200 women became pharmacists. Of late years, however, there has been profound change in the industry. Partly to prevent competition, or rather to re strict it, partly to raise the professional standard, and partly to protect the public, colleges of pharmacy have been started in various places in the country and laws passed requiring all candidates for the profession to pass examinations almost as striot and difficult as those laid down for physicians and lawyers. The new system has cut down the number of candidates, both male and female. In Massachusetts not more than a score of women have passed the examinations in the past 15 years. In New York the number is said to be nearly 50, and in the various states of the Union the entire total is below 500.

Many marry and leave the calling, a few have retired, and a few have continued their studies and have becomc physicians or chemists. At the present time the total number of women who praotice pharmacy either as proprietors, clerks or apprentices is estimated at about 1,500.—New York Mail and Bx press.

Chains and Beads Fashionable. Chains are extremely fashionable this year, and the jewelers in Paris are show ing them in great variety, but the fixe gold chain, with a single pearl' every four or five inches, has the preference A pretty chain of a fanciful description is composed of pearls set alternately with olive shaped beads of dull chased gold. Some chains are made of small blaok agate beads, also separated at intervals by single pearls. There is a derided fancy for these blaok agate beads, which are deemed—not without reason —extremely becoming to the' complexion. Necklaces are made of them, their simplicity relieved by the addition of a diamond olasp. A row of blaok beads, divided on either side by a long S in diamonds, makes A beautiful ornament for the throat.

In the gold chains pink coral beads are sometimes substituted for pearls. Chains are also made of black or blue steel—a metal in as high favor as ever —the pearls introduced as in those of the more precious metal. They are not only used for watches and eyeglasses, bnt ohain purses and other kniokknacks, such as pencil oases, tiny powder boxes, mirrors and charms, are suspended from them. These, however, must not be worn openly. It is considered a breach of good breeding to have a bunch of valuable trinkets dangling about the person—to say nothing of the danger of such a proceeding—and it mast be hidden either in the breast pocket of the ooat or beneath the folds of the dress.— Manufacturing Jeweler.

Parliament's Typewriters.

Miss May H. Ash worth is at the head of a typewriting department introduced in May, 1805, for the benefit of the members of the English house of commons. She has a staff of five young women, who are proficient typewriters and stenographers. Some of them are also expert linguists. The nature of the work required is thus described by Miss Ashworth: "There are many occasions when a member of parliament wants some letters, or a speech, or a note to his constituents typewritten, and when he does we are at bis service. Be may also have a foreign letter, written in a language with which he is not conversant. Again we are at bis service. Or he may be in a great hurry ana have several letters to write, b'o he sends for one of my staff, dictates them to her, and they are written down as quickly as he speaks.''

This employment of women in the British house of commons is an innovation that attracts most attention. One day after the head clerk had written dictated letters for an old member he rushed out of the room, seized the arm of a friend, and dragging him in cried excitedly "Just think of it! This young lady has written ten letters for me in five minutes. It's marvelous! Simply marvelous

Appointed Resident Physician. Dr. Grace E. White, eldest daughter of Dr. William H. White of Bloomfield, N. J.. has been appointed resident physician of tbe Hospital of St. John's Guild of New York city. Miss White cabled her acceptance of the position from Europe, where she was finishing her studies, and started for home on the fir*t steamer.

The breath of a chronic catarrh patient Is often so offensive that he becomes an object of disgust. After a time ulceration sets in, the spongy bones are attacked, and frequently destroyed. A constant source of discomfort Is the dripping of the purulent secretions into the throat sometimes producing inveterate bronchitis, which has been the exciting cause of pulmonary disease. The brilliant results by its use for years past properly designate Ely's Cream Balm as by for the best and only cure.

ever before in his long career as a campaign speaker. At the raid of the campaign he was in first-rate health and feeling better than he had in many years. It may be expected that he will repeat the experience this year. There are too many persons around him in Washington who cater to whatever of fear he has of fatal results of his ailment. If he should be bundled into a Pullman car and brought home and immediately called upon to sound a keynote he would be all right in short order.

Women w» Pharmaclita.

Kwmt Moaralaf Bonnets. The widow's bonnet in mourning oontinues to be either the Mary Stuart or the capote, shape simply covered with English crape, having the white niching in front and with dull black ties. The veil of course hides all but the extreme edge of the bonnet. For lighter mourning, where no veil is worn, the small poke shapes are seen having their edges defined with dull jet and decorated with high loops of dull black ribbon. The silk bonnets, iffo matter how light the mourning may be, are no longer counted good form! The French milliners are using quantities of dull jet and much silk crape upon crape bonnets, but this rather elaborate style of trimming for mourning is not counted good form by either the English or American milliners. One rule always stands—a mourning bonnet should always have ties of the dull sbadeof black ribbon.—Ladies' Home Journal.

Women Physicians Wanted. The Women's Society For the Promotion of the Welfare of the Insane, in New York, is endeavoring to have women members added to the state commission in lunacy and boards of managers of state hospitals, as well as having women physicians appointed to serve in the hospitals.

Dr. Phoebe J. B. Waite and Dr. Amelia Wright of New York city made an argument before the assembly general laws committee.

They advocate a material change in tiie administration of the state hospitals and propose that the commission shall be increased from three to five members, two of whom shall be women that there shall be two physicians on the commission, one of whom shall be a woman two lay members, one of whom shall be a woman, in addition to a member who shall be a praotical business man.

Equal Suffrage Stationery.

Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery has prepared equal suffrage paper and envelopes, with the heading, "Governments derive their just power from the consent of the governed," and a sunflower surrounding the figures "1848," the date of the first local woman suffrage convention ever held. The design is in blue. In accordance with the vote passed at the recent Washington convention, this piper will be sold for the benefit of the N. A. W S. A. A box containing 24 sheets and envelopes will be sent postpaid for 80 cents. It may be ordered from Mrs, Avery at the headquarters, 1841 Aroh street, Philadelphia.

Bright Colored Gloves In VopM.f The Marie Antoinette blue glove is a novelty. It is made of fine suede, and in mat peculiar shade of blue which has been so popular throughout the winter. A bright terracotta glove is another bovelty shown for early spring wear. All the shades of tan, from a pale fawn to a delicate brown, are the vogue for this season of the year. A new shade of tan is \nown as Smyrna, and promises to be mucha worn with the spring tailor made gown. Fashipnable women are wearing both glace kid and suede gloves. (fae is quite as popular as the other.

Beware of Ointments for Catarrh that Contain Mercury, as mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and completely derange the whole system when entering it through the mucous surfaces. Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputable physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O., contains no mercury, and is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. In buying Hall's Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genuine. It is taken internally, 2nd made in Toledo, Ohio, byF. J. Cheney & Co. Testimonials free.
