MAN ABOUT TOWN.

Eugene Debs has been invited by the [./students of the Chicago University to deliver an address before them and has accepted. He was in Chicago this week and met a committee of the students to fix a date for the address. While he waa in the

Woodstock jail some students in the university visited him and he thinks the invi tation grew out of that visit. Since his his release from Woodstock he has also written an article for the college paper of Adelbert College, Ohio, on the relations of jthe institutions for higher education to labor. The university authorities say there is 110 objection to Mr. Debs speaking before the students in one of the halls of the in stitution, and deny the recent stories to the effect that when the committee informed the authorities of the purpose to invite him objection was made. The fact seems to be that President Harper is a wiser man than he was a year or so ago when he had his row with Prof. Be mis. The professor iid delivered a lecture in which he criticized economic conditions in this country. President Harper said this would not be permitted because it reflected on the men from whom the university received its financial support. In other words, Rockefeller did not give of his millions to pay the salary of a professor who said that conditions were not right when a man could Accumulate $150,000,(XX). President Harper was roundly criticized and he tried to escape by saying the professor was dropped for other reasons, but the fact yag Axed that his real reason for bouncing Bends was because he discussed the relations of capital and labor from a view-point different from that of multi millionaires. There is no manner of doubt that a year ago President Harper would not have permitted Debs to speak in a university hall.

The Vigo Agricultural Society is spending more than a thousand dollars building an addition to the restaurant and boarding house on the fair grounds, which is under the management of Mrs. Boyce, wife of Captain Boyce, the trainer who was at Edgewood farm a few years ago. It is expected to provide rooms for a number of regular boarders and increase the accomodations for table boarders. Mrs. Boyce says the prospect for a good year's business is better than ever before.

George Woolsey, the builderof independent distilleries, was in the eity this week and said thfct he had come here with the intentiou of building another distillery but that something had happened to deter him for the present perhaps for all time.

The publication of the fact was accompanied by the statement we heard so often when he was building the Indiana distillery two years ago. It was repeated when the American Distilling company Itegan building the Majestic, now about completed. It is that the presence here of the Jistillerles would make Terre Haute a ttt corn market. With the Indiana tidy for operation and in the hands of the

American Distributing company an agreement was entered into with the trust hot to operate the Wabash house because with the Increased consumption of corn the market price would advance.

t5olonel Thompson tells a story of hisexperience in the navy department in which "Fighting Bob" Evans, who is now in commaud of the Indiana, figured. The colonel was trying to economise in the affairs of the navy department. It was at the time that he committed an unpardonable art by turning back into the treasury

some money he had not used.* The custom always had been to spend all you could get from congress and more to if you were an adept in manipulating a deficiency account. Some repairs were to be made to a ship and the bids of the contractors ran all the way from 160,000 to $80,000. The colonel told Evans, who was in command of the ship, to bring her around to the Washington navy yard and that between them they would superintend the work of repairing her just to see how m':^h excess cost such work had been to the government. It may be said here that the repairs were made at an expense of $20,000 but the story is of "Fighting Bob's" experience with a workman. The commander stood watching a man doing some carpentering work and noticed that the drove a nail about every two minutes. He asked him if he had ever been in the naval service. He had, he said, served as an able seaman. "Well," said the commander, "this ship is yet in commission and I am her commander." That was enough for the man who knew what it meant to do up your work in a hurry on board ship and his hammer began flying through the air as fast as his arm could send it.

The bituminous miners and operatare of the state have agreed to disagree and there will be a suspension of mining after May 1, for a month, perhaps, and it may be longer. It is the old inability of the men and the operators to see the situation from the same view-point. The operators say they are selling coal in competition with the coal from the Eastern Illinois, or Danville, district and that they can not compete with coal which is mined at a less price than the Indiana miners want. The miners want the Indiana operators to hold up the standard of Ohio and the Pittsburg district. The operators want the miners first to raise the standard in Illinois, which being done the Indiana operators will be willing to pay the Ohio price of 01 cents not being done they will pay 55 cents, the Danville price. They say that in the Pittsburg district where there was so much trouble by reason of the failure of two or three big operators to come into the agreement which other operators were willing to make with the men, the men in all the districts entered into a compact to freeze out the contrary operators. In other words the men working in the mines of operators who were willing to pay the standard price worked for lower wages that their operators might get the best of the contrary ones in the sale of coal at a low price. After a short experience of this unusual competition the trouble iliakers were willing to unite with the others in-an agreement for higher wages. This, say the Indiana operators, is what the Indiana men ought to do with the Danville operators, that is give Indiana operators an opportutunity to make it warm for Danville in the sale of coal in the Chicago market. In the joint conference the other day the miners said that only about 33 per cent, of the Indiana bituminous coal was sold in markets where it came in competition with the Danville coal but the operators figured it out that about 900,000 of the 1,300,000 tons of bituminous coal mined in Indiana each year went to the north. It is probable that the operators will endeavor to make their own terms with the men in the respective locialities in the state. Where au operator sells his coal in competition with the Ohio product, that is to the east, he probably will pay the 60 cents price but where he ships to the north he will try to get his men to work at 55 cents as they are now doing in the Clinton district. It means the abandonment of the custom of dealing with the miners' organization for a standard for the whole state. The organization would not consider a proposition to make differential prices in the state. If it did it would bring about quarrels in its own ranks that would blow it to pieces. The men working at the lower price would insist that they had been betrayed by their organization.

The block coal miners have been demanding an advance of wages to take effect May 1st and have been waiting for the decision here in the bituminous field before deciding to strike if their advance is not granted. The operators are understood to be willing to continue paying 70 cents. Over in the block field there is said to be other grievances which have made the men more determined in their demands. The company store is getting to be more and more of a robbing institution. It is reported that twenty-four men recently lost their jobs in one mine because they did not deal at the company store. Of course this was not. given as the cause of their discharge but it was the real cause.

AMUSEMENTS.

About the last society attraction of the season at the opera house is that of "Sowing the Wind" by the Charles Frohman Empire Theater company to-night. It is one of the most remarkable successes ever produced at the Empire theater in New York, and the success has been duplicated in all the large cities in the country. The company presenting it here is a remarkable one in every respect. It will have a peculiar interest here in Terre Haute- for the reason that Howell Hansel, a former Terre Haute boy, is one of the leading members of the company. Mr. Hansel is a graduate of our High school, was prominent in the old McKeen Rifle organization, and the success he has attained on the stage is gratifying to his former friends here. His last appearance in this city was with a Charles Frohman company in "Lady Windermere's Fan." Among the other members of this company may be named Mary Hampton, Emily Dodd, Ella Hugh Wood, Jessie Dodd, J. H. Gilmour, Thomas Whiffen, Frederick Strong, Guy Standing, Harry Phillips, John Sorrentz, Fred Harrison. The play will be produced with all the attention to scenic detail that is a feature of Frohman productions.

INGEBSOLL OK THE BIBLE.

Robert G. Ingersoll, whose fame as an orator is as wide as the universe, will deliver at Naylor's opera house Monday night his latest and what is accounted his most brilliant lecture, on "The Bible." This discourse is an exhaustive argument against the inspiration of what the Christian world regards as sacred scriptures, and has challenged more attention than any other address Col. Ingersoll has ever delivered upon the religious question. Scholars, jurists, theologians, and the whole thinking world concede that Col. Ingersoll reveals a profound knowledge At the Bible in this lecture. He reviews the entire work from Genesis to Revelation, and as he has devoted many years of study and observation to the preparation of this lecture it will undoubtedly be accepted by his admirers hereabouts as his masterpiece in thought, satire, wit, trenchant argument and wealth of language.

Those who intend hearing Col. Ingersoll, and who have not already secured seats, would do well to visit Buntin's drug store at once, as the sale indicates that a large audience will be in attendance. Many choice seats, however, still remain unsold.

NOTES.

In the Lady Slavey, Walter Jones rides around the stage on a bicycle. He suddenly starts for the footlights, and, to the trepidation of the audience, rides directly^ out over their heads into the auditorium. Both wheel and rider are supported by fine wires. •.
