The project for the building of a Masonic Temple seems brighter than ever before. The report of the joint committee, referred to at some length recently, has been approved by all the Masonic bodies in the city, the final action taking place Uwt Mon'day night. The presiding officer of each of the bodies has been authorized to appoints committee to solicit subscriptions to tie stock of the association, but the committees will not be appointed for some time, -and only after consultation between these officers. The next formal step in the matter will probably be the organisation of the building association, the election of a trustee from each of the bodies, and the transfer of the lots at Eighth and Main to the association. Four of the seven bodies interested in the building of the Temple have adopted a resolution to tbe-effectthat the building shall be built by (home contractors, unless there be too gå a difference between the bids of the home men and outsiders. There Is no question but that the building can be erected as substantially and as cheaply by home contractors as by those from outside, and the adoption of this desolation practically is an assurance that If the project ever is conrfumated, wfcidh appears altogether probable, home -contractors and home workmen will do the work.
A couple of policemen had a fight at headquarters one day this week, but neither of them was injured, the bystanders Interfering lief ore any damage was done. It is a well known fact that there is not the best cfftfeeling among certain members off the department, but this is the first time therefore® has been resorted to in the settlement of the difficulties. Perhaps it is net a very good example to set, but it is mndh more manly than some other methods employed.
The election of John M. Clift as a school trustee «t'She council meeting Tuesday nightifjivesuniversal satisfaction, and it is safe to-say that no better man could have been Seated for this important position. Guk. Lindemann, who has made a most excellent trustee,
was
nominated by the
Democrats, but as they are numerically very wertk in the present council he stood no show. The election of Mr. Clift as 1» trustee makes the school board solidly Republican, the first time this has occurred
In many year*, if ever. The Democrats have had a solid board many times. Policemen air not noted for any alarmgflant maofflfr ^jfj not calculated to develop this commenda* ble virtue. In fact the life of a policeman
Is of such a nature that I am often led to wonder that they do not become totally demoralized. But there is one member of the present force who is devout as can be, and who takes a great interest in the work of the Light, House Mission on Ohio street. One night, recently he led in prayer at a meeting there, and It is said offered a fervent nnd dloquent appeal for a reporter on one of the dailies, another member of the police force, and a well known man about town, who is a frequent visitor at police headquarters. He called each by name, and pntyod that their souls might be saved. The kind act on his part was not greatly appreciated by the men in whose interest he .prayed, but this will not interfere with itihe efficacy of the prayer.
Attorney Ban Miller read a paper before the Term Haute Literary club Monday night on Cuba. Mr. Miller is an enthusiastic friend of Free Cuba, and although he didn't propose it before the club Monday night, he has a scheme for driving the Spanish soldier* off the island of Cuba into the deep, blue sea. Mr. Miller is a member of the Speed base ball club, of this city, the two exposing teams of which are called the Fasts and Slows. After an experience of two or three seasons as a member of this orgwaisatiou, he hi of the opinion that if the two teams could be taken down to Cuba and turued loose there they would wipe the Spaniards out of existence, it is asserted that Mr. Miller will present
Iis
plan of campaign to the Cuban Junta New York, and recommend it« adoption.
The most royally entertained crowd that ever struck this town has been tbeT. P. A. boys this week. Never before since that station was organised has it had as ^tlendki treatment as has been accorded the members this week, and tney are profuse in their expression of gratitude. They will carry away with them the best wishes for Terre Haute and her people, aad tfee advertising the city will receive will be everlasting. _____
One of the cleverest things of the week "i Is the souvenir programme of the ball at the Terre Haute Thursday night. It is a triumph of the lithographer's art, and the handsomest thing of the kind ever attempted for a similar event. It contains views of
Terre Haute's finest business buildings, residences, etc., and every visitor to the city will preserve one of them as a souvenir of the occasion. _________
In casting about for a candidate for congress In this district it is said that the Democratic leaders have fixed on Charles R, Duffin, the travelling man, who has been prominent as a president of the Jackson club, and is a national director of the T. P. A., which has been in smioa here this week. Mr. Duffin is said to be an out and out advocate of free silver.
It is also said that these same leader*. In their effort to carry this county for Senator Voorbeea, have been endeavoring to draft that popular Democrat. Gns Conxman, as a candidate for the state senate, bot with his characteristic independence he replies.
"Nay, nay, Pauline." In addition to being a very popular fellow the ex-county treasurer has along head on him, and is not looking for trouble.
The last time the school board was solidly Republican was in 1877, when F. Y. Bichowsky, Linus A. Burnett and M. S. Durham composed the board. The Gazette made a plea for the re-election of Gas Lindemann, this week, for the reason that "divided boards are likely to do the best work." In its local editorial the Gazette gave utterance to the following sentiment "The schools of Terre Haute have always been kept out of politics, and it is to be hoped always will be." To those who know anything about this it seems rather funny. The editor of the Gazette whs a member of the school board in 2880, when the election of N. Stein, Jr., made it solidly Democratic, but no one caa remember that the Gazette made a plea to the Democratic council to re-elect Mr. Bfchowsky— who had made an unusually good trustee —and thus have aboard that was divided politically. The Democrats are not prone to do that sort of thing. If the civil service idea was the correct thing to follow, a Republican sboold have been selected to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Dr. Richardson, in 1889. But the Democratic council did nothing of the kind, for B. V. Marshall was chosen to fill the unexpired term.
FRILLS OF FASHION.
The skirts are usually without trimming this season, although trinyping of bows of ribbon and rusu&s of tulle sre seen.
The link belts in enamel are much worn by those who possess pretty gdld Or silver trifles that can be hung from them by chains.
Mohairs in some of the rougher designs bear a great resemblance to crepons, and will be much worn with ^blouses of wash material.
Good taste cries out against veils upon wheel riders. On a warm day the perspiration and dust, mingled with the dye of the lace, disflgtires'even "the sweetest face.
Some home-made shirt waists have deep Bailor collars'edged with ruffiings of white embroidery. The eye is grateful for the change. White kid belts have not been frowned upoK
Very dainty and artistic are the new washing materials, particularly the grass lawn, which varies in shade from a deep cream tint to a deep string color, resembling the very dark holland.
A- ElSSKiBl^gtwed4' whlte^agfrgandteu^ trimmed in lace and Dresden ribbon and has the hat to match, and a very thin Persian printed organdie is made over a slip1 of white Swiss with lace trimming.
This year's outing jerseys are attractive. Of fine wool, with stitehings of silk in contrasting color, they look on the bicycle rather better than most articles. Outing jersey is merely a fine name for sweater.
All thin textures are now arranged over color, and the skirts are 'quite separate at the edge, which gives a lighter and more fluffy effect. In many cases the slip is distinctly a separate garment and can be used as a foundation for several gowns.
A stylish woman nowadays must appear tall, and to assist in carrying out this end stripes are used in silk and cotton goods especially. Tiny lines and watp-printed flowers combined form a fabric thatis now enjoying renewed life.
Though a wealth of flowers and foliage holds forth on most of the summer hats, yet we see many "swell" creations,in which ribbon is the trimming note, sometimes light ground warp print agajy^ "crispy taffrta or double satin.
Occasionally bridal slippers boast buckles. Only the exceedingly sentimental indulge in brilliant-set, heart-flbaped cfasps, but a number show oblong or «val buckles of gold or silver. Straps fasten others across the instep and a few have the wide, flaring tongue that is the distinctive .feature of the "court" slipper.
Pointers for Wheelmen. 1. The wheelman who allows a hearse to pass him will die before the year ta oat. 4. To be chased by a yellow dog with one blue eye and one black one indicates a bad fall. 8. To see a small boy with a slungshot beside the road is a prophecy of a pane turn. 4. If you pass a white horse -driven by a red-haired lady, your rim will split unless you say "cajandrum" and hold up two fingers. &. The rider who expectorates tobacco juice on the track will lose a spoke. 6. If you take your machine to the reptfr shop it is a sign that you will not buy that new suit of clothes. 7. Kicking the man who asks the make of your wheel is a sign of high honors and riches within the year.
Lending the wheel isa sign of a double donkey. 9. To attempt to hoftl up a 375-pound woman learning to ride hi a sign of a soft spot.
These predictions will be bound in pamphlet form and the day is not far distant when they will be found pasted in the hat of every reputable wheelman.
Curiosities of Women. 4 Women pin from left to right, men from right to left. Women button from right to left, men from left to right. Women stir from left to right (their tea, for instance), men from right to ML
Women seldom know the dlffetHteft bea right and a left shoe, and if a housemaid brings up a man's boot*, she will nine times out of ten place them so that the points will diverge.
Can these peculiarities be explained?

Isaac All, a stock dealer living on south Second street, is a bad man for footpads to tackle. While on his way home Tuesday night he was stopped by three men at Second and Washington avenue, who demanded that he throw up his hands. He threw up one hand, but it had a revolver in it, and he began firing at his assailants, who took to their heels. Hereafter, he is not likely to be interfered with by footpads.
The date of the Princes of the Orient carnival this year has been llxed for the 15th of September, and it promises to surpass everything in this line heretofore attempted in this part of the country.

AlbertSbusteT,Walter Bell, Wm. Shannon aad Wm. McCounell. lite first chief under the present system was Joseph Scbeli, since deceased, aad Lawrence Kretc,
now
superintendent of fire alarm, was assistant chief. Hie success at the present fire system has demonstrated the wisdom aad ndgment of the council in adopting it for this city. It has been effeotaally kept oat
of politics, as no attempt has ever been made to apopt partisanship in its control, except in the naming of a chief, and this is provided for by the state law, to the effect that the council shall choose afire chief, thus putting it in the power of the council to select a chief according to its political complexion.

Anecdote of Garfield.
W. E. Curtis, in the Chicago Record, tells the following interesting anecdote of Garfield: Gen. Garfield had more money a few days after his nomination than he ever had at any time in his life. He reached Cleveland from the Chicago convention with just 190 in his pocket. That represented all the wealth he had in the world, except his mortgaged home at Mentor. Knowing this circumstance, Mr. Sylvester T. Everett, the well-known Cleveland banker, in whose house he was a guest, started out one morning with a little subscription paper, and came back with ten $1,000 checks, one of which bore his own signature. He fixed up a bank book with a package of blank checks, put them all in an envelope, and at the first opportunity handed the package to Garfield with a remark that there was a little pin money for his personal expenses during the campaign, and an explanation that not a penny of it was to be spent for political purposes.
When the general realized the amount and the nature of the gift be fell upon Everett's neck and wept like a child. He said that the greatest load be had to bear had been taken from him, for he bad been lying awake nights wondering how he was going to meet bis personal expensesduring the campaign. He said, too, that he never bad so much money before in hlx life.
