ON THE QUI VIVE.

& J,

%he senatorial boom of W. R. McKeen received no setbacks in the Republican state convemtion this week. In fact, it received an impetus that is likely to land him in Senator

Voorhees's

Terre

seat. The in­

sane, unexplained desire of Mr. McKeeu's opponent, Mr. Fairbanks, to be a delegate at large to the St. Louis convention created some bad feeling that is not likely to benefit the Indianapolis aspirant to the senatership. He defeated one man, and endeavored to defeat another, but failed, and now the friends of both these men are angry at Fairbanks, and charge him with ,-endeavoring to "hog" the whole business.

There was a question in the convention, it seems, as to the election of two of three men who were candidates, and Fairbanks, instead of withdrawing his own name, and moving to make the election of the other unanimous—which would have been a shrewd act—kept as mum as an oyster, was chosen himself, and saw a man defeated whom he was anxious for many reasons to have elected. Now there are wars and rumors of wars, none of which are calculated to disturb the dreams of the

Haute candidate. Mr. McKeen was jn Indianapolis during the convention, met hundreds of the delegates, and made a most favorable impression with those who thus met him the first time. Unless somebody sprinkles tacks on the track and punctures his senatorial tires, which isn at all likely, the next senator from the state of Indiana will be from the state of Terre Haute as well.

Col. Thompson distinguished himself again this week, aside from his prominence in the state convention. He took his first street car ride In the city of Terre Haute. He lived here long before we had any street cars, but this was his first ride here either ou mule, horse or electric car. This isn't to say that he never rode on a street car before, but that he never did here. He liked the ride, too.

A well known business man who had occasion this week to distribute some circulars throughout the city, placing one in every house, is willing to wager that Terre Haute has a population of over 40,000. He figured on using 6,000 of the circulars, but when these had been distributed found that more were necessary. He ordered au additional thousand, and then another, and then had barely enough to go around. Figuring on five persons to every hopse, which is perhaps less than the average, we hnv»40,00M people in Terns Haute. It's safe to say that, we really have more than 40,000, and this number will be greatly increased before the year closes.

Those members of the new council who are getting their first experience in the life of a councilman will heartily wish themselves translated to some far happier clime before Tuesday night, when the new body will meet to organize and either retain the old force of officers or decide to fire them forthwith. There is much doubt as to what will be done in the case of a number of them, although it Is tolerably certaiu that there will be some changes made. The time the councilmen are having Is much pleasanter on this account than if they found themselves coming into a majority and the appointive offices filled by members of the opposing faith, as was the case when the present council took hold. The uncertainties about, the action of the council with the present officials may have had something to do with keeping down the number who desire positions, and it Is rat her small. So far as I have been able to hear the following Is a complete list of those who desire positions under the new council, for the places named:

City attorney. Col. G.E. Pugh, and John O. Piety, who is already in and ready to my there.

Street commissioner—Caleb Jackson, present Incumbent, W. D. Piper, Mart McKinley, W. T. Byers, Manson Fouts, wttou Cox, W. D. Peyton, and Frank ?itlefohief of Fire Department-—J. O. Jones, Jrho now handles the emblems of authority, AL Shusfcer, John I*wler and Dora

Goodman, all members of the department at present. Mart Hunter, who was once tChlefl and Frank Fedderson, a former aM^ber of the department. I City Engineer—Harry Bosler, at present the city engineer, and George H. himpson who was several years ago. The name of

Max Fitch, who is at present with his father in New Mexico, has also been mentioned as a possible competitor, as has that

0f

George R. Grimes, who held the office several terms under both Democratic and Kebnbllcsn role.

For Sanitary Inspector, an office created by the present council there will be three candidates. Dr. Fote, the incumbent, Dr. A- J. Thompson, who was ejected to the ^office when it was first created, and Dr.

Chas. Fleming. For the Roanl of Aealth, there are four candidates so far mentioned, Drs, W. O. Jenkins, lieslie McClaitt and Klder. the premmt incumbents, and Dr. C. M. Smick.

The caucus to decide whether the old officers shall be retained new ontselected will be to-night, and there is likely to be an ex *g time. The new council will meet Tuesday night, when the changes, if any. will be made,

George Allen, of the RxpcMS, and Fitbeck, district committeeman from the Fifth district, had a tough experience at the state convention this week. Wednesday night their room# were visited by asanak. thief, who took all the available cash he coukl find In their clothing. Sneak thieves were about in profusion at the

.AS

Dennison hotel, where the majority of the delegates attended. James Stunkard, chairman of the Vigo delegation, waked np Wednesday morning just in time to see a thief going through the clothing of his brother, Dr. Stunkard. The latter had been cautious enough, however, to take his money out of his trousers and place it under the pillow, and the thief didn't get anything. His brother started to chase the thief out of the room, but as he was in rather light marching order he didn't get any further than the room door, while the thief made his escape down the hall. 4 Qui

The Councilmanic Election. In Tuesday's city election the Republicans carried six wards, the Second, Fourth, Fifth, Seventh, Eighth and Ninth, the others being carried by the Democrats here. There was no surprise at this result, except that the Tenth ward, which two years ago gave Herbert Briggs, Republican, a majority of 237, was carried by Wm. Armstrong, Democrat, by two votes. The candidacy of Howard Mater, Prohibition ist, doubtless led to this result, as he polled 144 votes, the majority of which were from Republicans. The following gives a summary of the votes received by the two leading candidates ip each wani.

Armstrong's plujralitK, §5The Prohibitionist^uandaPopuHstis hat! tickets in the field in each of the wards except- the Fourth, where there was no Prohibitionist candidate, but their votes were light. The following were the Populist candidates, and their votes in the wards named: First, White, 17 Second, Mayer, 79 Third, Agar, 180 Fourth, Rogers, 9 Fifth, Denning, 22 Sixth, Demorest, 17 Seventh, Cronan, 10 Eighth, Kunz, 55 Ninth, Floyd, 39 Tenth, Keylon,24. Total 402. Two years ago the Populists polled 526 votes, including 306 for Frank Storz in the Second ward, who was nominated by the Populists and endorsed by the Democrats.

The Prohibitionist vote was still lighter their candidates receiving only 196 votes In the ten wards, of which Howard Mater had 144 in the Tenth ward. When the board of canvassers met on Thursday there was talk of contesting the election of Armstrong in the Tenth ward, for the reason alleged that many voters outside the city were allowed to vote In the west precinct of that ward. Ten days are allowed for the filing of notices of contest in such cases, but thus far no further steps have been taken In the matter,

The results of the present election are notable In contrast with that of two years" ago, when the Republicans carried the city by a plurality of 1,864 on the councilmanic vote. This year the Republican plurality was 851, a falling off of 1,013.

The result of this election will be to give the Republicans fourteen members of the council, and the Democrats six. The present council has thirteen members and the Democrats seven.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY.

The campaign liar has thrown the peach crop prevaricator completely into the shade.

r~

An Iowa man claims to have discovered rays." Gentlemen, the alphabet is before you.

Going to see a girl Is like the tobacco habit—A young man thinks he can quit until he tries.

At the present stage of the campaign the candidate who does not claim everything simply wastes his opportunities.

A man's wishes are seldom carried out after his death, if they would cost anything, even though he may have left plenty of money for the purpose.

Sometimes a man gets a reputation for being close because he has paid all hlsd^Ms and hasn't any money left to get a refutation with for being liberal. nWT'!-

There area number of projected river excursions which will have to be abandoned unless there should be a heavy rain to increase the depth of the water.

The First Methodist church has been secured as the place of meeting of the Indiana Music Teacherf association June 2296. All the reports indicate that the meeting will be largely attended and the programme committee is now warranted in assuring all who may attend that the concerts at night and the recitals in the day sessions will be of a better quality than Terre Haute has ever enjoyed. It is believed that one of the great soprano soloists of the world will be secured for one of the concerts.

The peculiar marking of the sEdewails Tuesday morning pooled many persons and the excitable and suspicious politicians thought that perhaps it was a secret Instruction to voters.

The Vandalla Changes.

The new management is now making Changes in the Vandalia force in a manner that leaves no doubt that what was understood at the time of the advent of the Pennsylvania officials the policy would be but which it was hoped would not be adopted. It does not mean impaired operation of the road but that economical employment of men is to be the policy regardless of personal considerations. Everyone knows how much personal considerations had heretofore in the retention of employes. The biggest "fell swoop" was this week when a dozen employes at the Union depot were let out. Discharges have been made in various departments In the past two or three months but this was the largest batch in one notice. It is understood that the headsman will next visit the auditor's office and that the freight department will also be visited. The train crews have not been reduced but their brotherhood contracts have been abrogated. Engineers now perform more service than they did and have to report earlier for duty but they have not sent any grievance committees to the officials. Pennsylvania officials do not deal with the brotherhoods and while no formal notice has been given to the men that the contracts have been abrogated it is a fact just the same, The men do not want to raise the question and the brotherhood officials know that they would not get a hearing, as representatives of the men, from Pennsylvania officials.

The A. R. U. people make the comment on this situation that It Is the treatment the brotherhoods are receiving all over the country and that It "serves them right lor being "loyal" during the strike in 1884 when the railroad officials commended them and told them that the brotherhoods would not lose anything by standing by the companies.

Since the new management came in the monthly expense account for the Union depot has been reduced $000. It is said that the policy of economy now being put in operation on the Vandalia is only what other railroad companies did in 1894. It would not seem possible to effect that anyunt of saving in the depot force but it ha eii done and the men who are still ei /oyed will be able by doubling up on tffe work to perform the duties without inconvenience to the traveling public*

FASHIONS IN PARASOLS.

A special novelty this season is the changeable taffeta silk parasol, with purse attached to the handle.

All the new parasol handles measure from seven to nine inches in length, and many of them are very costly. Those of natural wood and bamboo are used for ordinary wear.

With expensive parasols, the silk strap which holSsit together when folded fastens with an enameled and sometimes a jewelled button. So that it will be seen that the parasols of 1806 will be decidedly original.

Even parasol bandies have succumbed to ths miniaturr fry** One of the most beau tiful handles seen this spring was made of tortoise shell, ornamented with an exqui sttely painted miniature outline with a deoorstivs design in gold.

THE T. P. A.

THE PROGRAMME FOR THE JUNE CONVENTION.

The Exercises as Arranged for Each Day of the Big Convention—The Tuesday Night Parade and the Clam

Bake. 1 The T. P. A. programme for convention week commences June 1st. While not yet completed, it is in such shape that most of the details may be given at this time.

Monday, June 1st, will be a busy day for all committees, for it will witness the closing labors of several, notably that of the decorating committee. That day "will see spread forth to the admiring gaze of the public the result of their labors of the past three months. The active work of the reception committee will begin on Monday, as a large number of visitors will arrive on that day.

Tuesday, June 2d, at 10 o'clock a. m., a formal reception of the visitors will take place at the opera house, at which his honor, Mayor Ross, will formally turn over the keys of the city, which will be accepted by Isham Segdwick, the newly elected state president of theT. P. A., of Richmond, Ind.

Governor Matthews will kindly and cordially welcome the representatives of the different states on behalf of the state of Indiana. There will be responses in the name of the T. P. A. by the Hon. John A. Lee of St. Louis, the national president of the association. Col. R. W. Thompson, Col. W. E. McLean, Col. Harwood of Vir ginia, Col. Adams of Arkansas, Senator Voorbees and others will then address the meeting. The afternoon of this day will be given to tha formation of the conven tion, allowing it to organize and proceed with its business at the opera house. At the same time the visiting ladies will be entertained by the ladies' committee with receptions ai^d carriage drives about the City. 'm S&u

Tuesday night, June 2d, will occur the grand parade. This parade will present many new and novel features and many elegant designs in illuminated floats, thirty in number, the 'merchants in attractive displays. The city fire and police departments will also form a part, besides all the different organizations of the city. "Scully's Army" will also be in line headed by their wonderful band. All visiting posts will also take part in the parade.

Wednesday morning will be given to the entertainment of the. ladies, and thaafternoon will witness a novel feature for the western country, a clam bake. While at this entertainment out door amusements will be furnished by troops of Arabs, pickaninny bands and all other novel features which can be imported for the occasion. Wit and wisdom will make merry with fun and frolic.

Wednesday night at Harrison park will be witnessed a most novel outdoor entertainment. As to the nature of this entertainment it is enough to say that President Harrison, of the street car company, h"« it in charge. He has signified an int tion to bring into play his ability as a

caterer

Friday will witness the closing work of the convention preparatory to leaving upon an excursion which, not being complete in detail, cannot now be announced.

The continuous entertainment to the visiting ladies from day to day, to be determined by the ladies' auxilliary committee, will be given later, as well as minor details. ______

The Cardinal at St. Mary's. Cardinal Gibbons, Archbishop Ryan and two or three priests from the east arrived at St. Mary's yesterday. The bells were rung and his eminence was shown every mark of respect and welcome. Services were held in the chapel when the cardinal delivered a short sermon and then there was a reception in the academy hall. The cardinal said the magnitude of the institu tion and the beauty of the surroundings were a revelation to him and he felt that the cause of christian education like the course of empire is moving westward. In the evening there were musical and literary exercises and another address by the ^yiifnal when he referred to the discussion In the Methodist general conference over the "woman question" and commented woman's true sphere is the domestic circle that in the church she is to be sUent. When she attempts to enter the arena of political activity she must expect to be soiled. The new woman question he considered as one of the passing isms of the day.

Archbishop Ryan spoke briefly but in a jolly humor. Be told the young women

TWENTY-SIXTH YEAR.

that when a real, live, all-red cardinal came to see them they ought to have a long holiday. He joked about, hisemint-uce who laughed in great good humor. The cardinal is much less serious or awe-in-spiring than nine-tenths of the priests. His eye laughs always. His voice has the pleasant tone of a kind disposition. The red gown only seemed to be another color than seen on the fathers of the church. There is none of the Richelieu idea in this cardinal's appearance. When he entered the church in the afternoon, children carrying the train of his robes, he was as playful with them as if they were on a lawn. He felt about for a pocket and finding some medals gave them to the children.

Ben Bach's "Business" Venture, i* Ben Bach will not have a store in Terre Haute and perhaps never intended to have one although he bought nearly ten thousand dollars' worth of goods which were •hipped here. Ben Bach's creditors are finally convinced that he bought from them with purpose of disposing of the goods surreptitiously. Last Saturday a New York lawyer representing one of the creditors for $900 came here and demanded payment. Bach told a story of betrayal "V by his partner, a man named Lehman, who

had been here with him, and agreed to sell

horse

for public amusement, but he §olds

reservation of secrecy regarding the programme. The members of the entertainment committee have had their curiosity aroused to the third degree, and they have been working on Mr. Harrison with crowbars, jimmies and other devices, but all without success. He is a time lock. Wait and you will see.

Thursday is set apart for field sports at* the fair grounds. This will be a gala day, and prize contests will be a feature. Bicycle contests, horse racing, mule racing, track exhibition of the world's noted horses, wheelbarrow races, amateur athletic contests, such as running, high jumping, long jumping, foot racing, pitching, etc. It is designed to make this a notable day of the week.

Thursday night will be given the grand convention ball and reception, at the Terre Haute House. A special outdoor dancing platform with canvas coverings, and illuminated with some of the new and novel electric designs of the T. P. A., will be constructed.

he made the record. It Is probable that nothing will be done to the track in preparing it for the runners other than would be done in the ordinary work on It every summer. There has been talk to the effect that it would be ploughed and condition so radically changed thate it would never again be as fast for harness racing. The running horse men say that all It will need will be harrowing and that it will be necessary only to go down an Inch and a half or two inches, which is no deeper than it is frequently harrowed during the season. life pulpit Changes.

Last Sunday the Rev. Dr. J. H. Crum, of the First Congregational church, read his resignation as pastor. Dr. Crum said that he did so because he thought the aggressive work necessary in the church and in the furtherance of the project for a new edifice might be better prosecuted by some one else. The congregation is yet to passon the resignation. Dr. Crum came here seven years ago from Winona. He is generally credited with being the ablest theologlan of the Terre Haute pulpit. The next day the Rev. J. D. Stanley of St. Stephens church also announced his resignation. The reason given is that he lias been tendered a call to a church in Mt. Auburn, the select suburban residence locality on the hill back of Cincinnati. A short time ago Mr. Stanley had a call to a church in Dayton, Ohio, which he declined. In going to Mt. Auburn Mr. Stanley will be returning to his home and will be among friends at once.

The resignations of the two ministers has called attention to the fact that during the past year there have been many retirements from the Terre Haute pulpits. In addition to the two named were Dr. Iveech of Centenary, the Rev. F. A. Morgan of the Christian church, the Rev. A. J. Alexander of the Washington Avenue Presbyterian church, Rabbi Lyons, Father McEvoy and the Rev. R. V. Hunter of the Central Presbyterian cburcb, although the latter's resignation was not accepted as a finality. The church gave him a vacation until September that be might serve as manager of Winona assembly, and if be then still desires to resign the resignation will be accepted.

enough of his goods at a sacrifice at wholesale to pay the New Yorker. This was done and then the New Yorker produced another claim for $1,400 and this was 1 cared for in the same manner. During^ Saturday Bach sold several thousand dot lars worth of goods to Terre Haute firms and left the city with part of the proceeife. Most of the goods were moved out of the c* store during Saturday night. Since then other creditors have put in an appearance. It seems that Bach shipped a large amount1 of goods from the store in the Bindley block to St. Louis where they wvrv re- ^.YJf shipped to New York. It is understood that one of his creditors learned of this and managed to attach them in transit.

The Jtunnlng Meeting.

The running horses are coming in for the meeting week after next and there are now at the track about forty of the bangtails. The running horse men who are here sayL^, the track is fast for runners, as has been so well demonstrated it is for harness* horses. It is also explained that the own- W ers of running horses will not avoid giving their horses records. Unlike harness rae- .. Ing it is not advisable to hold a horse back and lose a race rather than win it by mak- 5 ing fast time. The owner wants a fast record beclkus© it adds to the value of the
