Attorney Eltoer Williams went«outto Fofctanet reocfotly to try a case before a justice of the peace, and had the distinction of "being escorted out of town by a brass feand. It was a case involving th« possession of one of the instruments belonging to Jthe Fontatiet band, and he was engaged to Tepresent'that organization In asuit to replevin the instrument. He won the case, and the members of the band were so elated over the success of thslr suit that when he prepared to leave they got the band cut and escorted him to the depot. He si*yB it is his first expedience in being drummed out of town, although in this case the escort carried honor with him i&Bs

There is very little being said in the papers about the vote on the donation to the Terre Haute and Mississippi road at the election next Tuesday week, but there is some quiet work being done against the project. The proposition was defeated four years ago, but by a very small voie, an 1 it seems strange that now, when there are so many men out of employment, a plan whereby a great many men will be given work should meet with organized Opjtosition. There can be no question that the road would be of immense benefit to Terre Haute, and the chances are that it will never be built if the donation is defeated by the people.

Judge Taylor and the Express have been having it again, although none of the Express people have yet been threatened with confinement in the body of the county jail. The trouble has been over a hog which the judge bought but did not pay for as promptly as the farmer who sold it to him thought he should. Hogs of differed* kinds have been a cause of serions trouble ever since creation, and they doubtless will be as long as hogs of different kinds continue to exist. In the present controversy the Express seems to have decidedly the best of it. The judge hasn't submitted to an interview yet, but his close friend has prepared a very elaborate card in which he shows that the farmer should have been wiped off the face of the earth, or words to that effect, for presuming to have assailed the dignity which doth hedge about the judge of the Circuit court of the mighty county of Vigo. It Isn't every office holder who can have a man of presumably opposite politics make an elaborate apology, over his own signature, HB,was done for Judge Taylor, anl the j#d^i Sfe° ,,

I •, happy ,ovw The bicycle boys arc entitled to credit for encouraging a movement to secure an ordinance regulating the speed of bicycles over the paved streets. It has grown into a menace against life, and it is befitting that the only bicycle organization in the city should take the preliminary steps toward securing legislation on the subject.

A year or so ago when the council took up the subject of regulating the speed of bicycles a great mauy bicyclists were against it, and thought the council was endeavoring to trespass on their personal privileges, but the passage of time has shown that privileges like that are sure to be abused. It isn't the old riders who need to be called down on the fast riding question, but the new ones, and the members of the Wabash club are entitled to a great deal of credit for Inaugurating a movement that is calculated to do so ranch good, not only for the bicycle riders, but pedestrians as well.

The Scotch blood in the veins of Councilman Graham is a guarantee that he is a fighter, and the way he pushed through his plan for the improvement of Seven tventh street furnishes proof of that fact. He had another tilt, with Buena Marshall at the council meeting Tuesday night, and as before he came off first best. Mr. Graham's argument that the property owners resident on the street should have more right to say in what manner the street should be improved than the property owners who live up town, carried the day, anl Mr. Marshall's scalp figuratively speaking, is dangling at the belt of the Second ward councilman.

Some smooth artist with a penis playing Javoc with Terre Haute in the way of passing two dollar bills that have been raised to tens. The town is flooded with them, and nearly all classes of business men are having opportunities offered them of telling the difference between a two dollar and a ten dollar bill. The work is well done, and very few persons outside of a bank would notice the change in the bills unless their attention is direct*d to it.

The police raided a west end resort last night, and arrested a lot of people who haw been giving the "couchee couchee" dance of the World's Fair in all of its intenseuess. In fact, it has been the talk among the men about town that the Midway at the grant show had nothing to compare with the dance that has been furnished the curious In the city. It has been quite the thing for young men about town, who are looking for sights to visit the resort where the couchee couchee held forth. But they will do so no more, for the police have put a stop to ft.

Female "Dftwtlve Story" Wrttwr. Wh«n Anna Katharine Green published detective novel. "The Leavenworth Case." #ht? scored the su which gave her the place of the fotvuiost American writer of detective stories. She followed up this success with other novels of a detective nature, and these also met with a marked degree of popular favor. Of late jt*x* Mr*. Rohlfs felt that she cottld strike

her

which the flam of the hunter and the

hunted, was absent. But she had educated her public to expect detective stories from her pen, and the Other books which she gave it did not please so well. Now, Mrs. Rohlfs is to go hack to her "first love," and she has flushed what is believed to be the strongest detective story which she has yet written. It has the good title of "That Affair Next Door," and has a strong and deeply-involved plot, laid, as in the case of her other detective stories, in the circles of wealthy society. The novel will introduce a character new to detective fiction—a Miss Amelia Butterworth, a maiden lady of fifty summers who makes things lively for Detective Gryce, the principal figure of the story. By the introduction of this character into the novel there enters in Mrs. Rohlfs' style a vein of humor new to her books.

WOMAN'S GOSSIP.

Just at the time when a tttan gets the knack of accumulating money, his wife learns new devices for spending it.

It .is inferred that the New Jersey woman who married a man with one leg and one arm obtained him at a renmant counter. 4f J1

Just when the new woman has learned to drive a nail without hitting her thumb, along comes a fellow "with a self-loading hammer. "If women get into politics," says the Manayunk Philosopher, "they won't throw mud, anyway and even .if they did, they wouldn't hit anything."

How happy Paris mitroBs IfSust be! Mme. Jean Schaul's toill has at last passed, providing that married women need not give their earnings to'their husbands.

There was an "unfortunate break at an Evansville wedding, the other night. Instead of playing the wedding march after the ceremony, the organist struck up: "She may have seen better days."

A lady teacher in one of the local schools, in trying to explain the meaning of the word slowly, illustrated it by walking across the floor. When she asked the class to tell her howshe walked she nearly fainted when a boy at the foot of the class shouted "Bow-legged, ma'am."

The ladies of a Baltimore church, "who pledged themselves to raise money by iheir own exertions to aid their church, met one night and related some of their experiences as money-makers. One lady said that she had made five cents by killing a mouse without #h¥r 9r screaming.

Fashionable women, says the New Yprk Times, are interested in anew mirror on the market. It has along handle which is thrust into a dlamp on the back of a chair. The chair stands before a dressing table, and the dresser is enabled to get a view of her back hair without straining either her neck or .her arms.

A "trolley progressive euchre party" is the latest scheme in Brooklyn, N. Y. A few nights ago, a young matron invited some two score friends to such an affair, and took them in two parlor cars of an electric line from Brooklyn to Jamaica, had supper and a dance there, and returned home at an early hour in the morning.

UP-TO-DATE PHILOSOPHY.

Speaking of rules for letter-writing, one good rule is never to write a letter when you only need to write a note.

The clerk who gets married in order to get an increase of salary is very likely to ask for another increase in the course of a year or so.

How gratifying it would be if the man who had a fine voice thirty or forty years ago would only be contented with th recollection!

It has been observed that the man who likes to entertain his wife with reminiscences of his early love affairs 'seldom likes to have his wife reciprocate.

When a man takes a $100 bill to the bank to get it changed, why should he try to look as if he was accustomed to doing the same thing every other day?

A Chicago girl is never so happy as when she is wearing a dress with aiong train. It is a delight to the observer to see how skillfully she draws it around in front to cover up her feet.

It would seem to the inexperienced that much labor is saved because the russet shoe does not require blacking, and this would be really so. if it did not require russeting every other day.

It is wasteful for the young bride to throw away her first batch of mince pies, even if they aren't ideal in all respects. They will make first-rate wheels for the go-cart of the oldest boy when he is five years old.

One High School girl alone Is all right, but two High School girls together are sillier than a dude's first joke, and a sensible man would rather turn down the firs* side street than to pass a giggling group of them.
