MAN ABOUT TOWN.

One of the considerations with the saloonmen in their contest with the Good Cifcizens' representatives, and especially with those who have considerable money invested in tbe business, is that provision of the law which provides for the refusal of licenses for two years to persons who have been twice convfcted in one year of viola--tion of the law. Such conviction is to be considered evidence of the bad moral charter of the licensee and the county commissioners may refuse him a license which would bar him from getting another inI side of two years. It will be seen that tbe man who has money at stake doesn't want to be forced out of business in this manner.

I understand that at the recent meeting of the saloonmen it was the well-to-do man who wanted to keep closed on the Fourth of July. He had the conservatism of the capitalist, as it were. The short-sighted fellow, the one who raves about his liberty, etc,, or the fellow who had nothing much more at stake than the big receipts of the holiday, was the one who wanted to keep open. The long heads in the business saw the best way out of the situation but they could not make the radical fellow see it. It has been true everywhere that thesaloonmen bring upon themselves the enforcement of the law and it may be true that they will do it here If they had closed their saloons for two or three weeks, Fourth of July as well as Sundays, the Good Citizens movement would have petered out inside of a mouth and the old liberal policy could have been restored without comment. The Good Citizens movement is really a small affair when the number who actively take part in the prosecution of the "Xsalooumen is considered, and it would grow beautifully less of the saloons were closed for a while. They say that 175 men stood up at the last meeting and thereby pledged themselves to watch the saloons on the Fourth. But «s a matter of fact only two or three did so, a man named

Leonard, Dr. Tucker and Dr. Hickman. More names were printed in the daily •Z' papers as signed to aflldavlts, that of Seorctary Jamison of the Y. M. C. A. for instance, which were not so signed. Man

About Town has said heretofore that you will not get the citizens of Terre Haute to make these fights, however much they might want to see closet! doors and open views of the interiors of saloons during the prescribed hours. In the first place they are terrorized. The manner in which the big bosses of the liquor interest can put on the pressure is remarkable for its ingenuity as well as for the power of a few men In a community of this size. Besides, perhaps the great majority of the people of the city do not care whether the saloons are closed or not. They do not go to saloons themselves and if their peace is not disturbed they do not care who does go. If the saloons were closed this class of citizens would say well and good, but they are just that indifferent and object to outuide interference that they do not like to see other people, such as the prime movers In the Good Citizens movement, "looking for trouble" and accordingly they are silently opposed to the Good Citizens movement. So, if saloonmen con'} ~*trb their propensity to grab everythii and get another idea into their heads besides the one that they can ride rough shod over their opponents simply because they have had things their own way here so long, they would be wiser and richer in the long run. It Is said some of the more violent of their numbers have talked about sandbagging anyone who would report on them. One case of sandbagging would close Terre Haute saloons for a year.

The Terre Haute visitors to the big ghost dance of the short change people in Chicago this week are blessing Samuel Hamil). The Terre Haute lawyer was not the sergeant-at-arms of the convention, bat had he been he could hardly have passed into the hall more Terre Hanteans than he did. Samuel's favors were for Republicans and Democrats alike.

The Mat thews candidacy was a perfunctory affair so far as the Indianians were concerned. None of

mained at the Matthews headquarters, and evidently no on© was making serious effort to secure his nomination. People came and went through the rooms and It was seldom that anyone recognized anyone else. was mow like a procession of visitors to the mutant!). A well-known Democrat told me that there had been some tjood workers* In Chicago who would have been glad to do something for Matthews, but no one was at hand to give direction to the work. The delegation had rooms at the Victoria hotel, and scrupulously re

mained away from the headquarters of the state's candidate at the Palmer house. Senator Jones, of Arkansas, was quoted in a Chicago paper as saying the Matthews movement was not to be taken seriously. He said that one of the delegation, whose name he withheld, came to him and said: "Well, Senator, here we are again. It is the same old organ but a new monke.y" I repeated this interview to a Democrat who had been in Chicago all week, and he told me the origin of the story, having been present when the remark was made to Senator Jones. It was not made in the sense'quoted by the senator, but in answer to the suggestion that Indiana support Turpie for president instead of Matthews. The Indianian who made the remark said he was getting tired of the old song. When Indianians had gone to a convention for Hendricks they were told they ought to support McDonald, and if McDonald should be the choice then they were told they ought to support someone else. It was the same old organ but the delegates from the other states always wanted another monkey.

Just before Bryan began speaking I met Ike Hill, the long-time Democratic whip of congress. He said: "Here is where the game begins to get interesting. Bryan is going to catch 'em and be nominated, with my man McLean for the second place. Now, you just watch the play and say nothing." Bryan is one of few public speakers who know how to pitch the voice. The secret of his success when he appeared before the twenty thousand persons was that most of them heard all fie said, and all of them heard some of it. It wasn't as good a speech as that delivered by Daniel, but the crowds sitting there hour after hour would have thought any speech they could hear a great one. The chances are that Bryan is a singer. A woman could have sung to the great crowd and been heard, but not one public speaker in a thousand ever learns how to pitch his voice. The result is there is a straining of muscles of the thfloat and, with some speakers, of the whole body in trying to make themselves heard when there need lie no more effort than in singing and the man who gets hoarse in five minutes talking will sing all night and never tire. Mr. Blaine could accurately pitch his voice for a crowd of any size or for any hall. Mr. Henry Watterson, who has much knowledge of music, also has the ability to make himself heard with comparatively little physical effort.

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all other diseases put together, and until the last few years was supposed to be incurable. -For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by constantly failing to cure with local treatment pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment. Hall's Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio, is the only constitutional cure on the market. It is taken internally in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon ful. It acts directly on the blood and mucous surfaces of the system. They offer one hundred dollars for any case it' fails to cure. Send for circulars and testimonials. Address,

E3TSold by Druggists, 75c. The "Tree of Life." The Guarauiios are to be found all over the delta of the Orinoco. They eat little and wear less. Many authorities claim that they subsist on the moriche palm tree alone. Whether this bo true or not, the tree in question is without doubt an indispensable factor in the problem of life. Not only does it furnish a safe elevation for a home, but gives a nutritious sago, or meal, from which bread is made, a tree 16 years old yielding 600 pounds of this meal. In addition, the juice furnishes a kind of wine, and out of tho fiber are made cord, rope, hammocks and a rude species of cloth. This tree, owing to the many and various purposes it serves, was called by the early fhissionaries the "tree of life."— W, Nephew King in Century.

All the People

Should keep themselves healthy and especial care should be given to this matter at this time. Health depends upon pure, rich blood, for when the blood is impure and impoverished diseases of various kinds are almost certain to result. The one true blood purifier is Hood's Sarsaparilla. By its power to purify and vitalize the blood it has pirved itself to be the safeguard of health, and the record of remarkable cures effected proves that it has wonderful power over disease. It actually' and permanently cures when all other preparations fail to do any good whatever.

To Attempt to Cure

catarrh by the use of so-called blood remedies means tbe expenditure of many dollars and derangement of tbe stomach. That catarrh Is not caused by blood troubles is self-evident when yon reflect that attacks are always due to sudden climatic changes or exposure tocold, and occur most frequently during the winter and spring, though the Wood is as pure then as in summer or fall. A remedy which quickly relieves and by thorough treatment cures the catarrhal attacks has been found In Ely's Crwun Balm.

CHURCHES OF GRANADA.

They Are at Once Magnificent and Beff (vl7, Solemn and Gay.

It was in its churches that I thought Granada at once mo6t magnificent and beggarly, most solemn and gay. I knownothing in France or Italy to compare with the effect of the cathedral when the sun steeped streets were left, the leather curtain was lifted and we were suddenly in darkness as 'of night, a great altar looming dimly in far shadows, vague, motionless figures prostrate before it Their silent ferver in the strange, scented dusk gave a clew to the ecstasy of a Theresa, of an Ignatius. But it was well to turn back quickly into matter of fact daylight To linger was to be reminded that n.rstery has its price, solemnity its tawdriness. In cathedral and capilla real if we ventured to look at the royal tombs at the grille— which even in Spain is without equal— at the retablos, with their weulth of ornament, one sacristan after another kept close at our heels, impudently expectant

If in unknown little church our eyes grew accustomed to darkness, it was that they might be offended with Virgins gleaming in silks and jewels, with Christs clothed in petticoata And if we did once visit the Cartuja it satisfied our curiosity where other show churehes were concerned. The word Cartuja hung upon the lips of every visitor at the Hotel Roma. Foreigners wrestled hopelessly with it Spaniards repeated it tenderly, as if in love with its gasping gutturals. We never sat down to a meal that some one did not urge us to the enjoyment of its wonders. At last in self defense we went The Cartuja's architecture struck us as elaborate, its decoration as abandoned as thp gush that had sent us to it It had not even the amusing gayety of Bohemia's rococo, but was pretentious and florid in a dull, vulgar way, more in keeping with gilded cafe or popular restaurant But to this visit my record owes a place, since it was our one concession to the guidebook's commands. It pleased us better to forget the exaggerated, tortured flamboyance in the kindly twilight of churches the names of which we never troubled to ask.—Elizabeth R. Pennell in Century.

Where tbe Waiters Ask No Odds. Common as the practice of tipping is becoming in this city, there must still be restaurants in which tips are neither given nor expected, a?d among these must be some, at least, of the beef and beans placos in the neighborhood of Park row. I have not been so familiar with these places in recent years as I used to be years ago, before they had grown so large and when coffee and cakes furnished the chief staple of the food provided. In those days I am quite sure that nobody ever thought of tipping the waiters, and I believe that the same practice prevails in them now. It might be that a waiter would take a tip from some old customer with whom he was on friendly terms, but I doubt if he would take one from a casual puest I think if su?.h a guest should put a tip on the tuble the waiter would wipe it off on the floor with the cloth with whioh he swabs the table.

The beef and bean places are refreshing, not only in the food they furnish, but in the spirit of self reliant independence that pervades them.—-Cor. New York Sun.

Charging a Bear With Bayonets*

Russian soldiers in Siberia are not wily encouraged to exercise their martial ardor on £ig game, but are actually led out in squads to take part in the hunt On a recent occasion a local police inspector joined in the hunt and got two of the soldier beaters to act as his bodyguard. When the bear came merrily romping toward him over the snow, the inspector got flurried, mimed both barrels, flung down his gun and buried his head in the snow, seeking to burrow out of sight The bear came on in a great fury. Two of the soldiers waited till he came to close quarters and turned him back with a volley. They then charged with fixed bayonets and finished him off in true military style. They have been rewarded for their presence of mind in saving the life of the guardian of the peace by having their photographs hung in their headquarters and being each presented with one ruble.—l^ondon Globe.

BITTEN BY A SNAKE.

That Is What the Victim of a Practical Joke Thought.

"A good many years ago/' said an ex-congressman to a party of congressmen, "I was in Georgia. A party of us decided to go from Atlanta to Clarksville on horseback. Tim Murphy, an Irishman, was a lieutenant of the At* lanta police force. He wanted to go, too, and we consented. On our way to Clarksville, through the mountainous sections of the state, we killed two large rattlesnakes. Murphy was amassed and frightened. He wanted to know if makes were plentiful, and we told him that they were. We told him that at Clarksville they had often been found in the rooms of guests at the hotel. Tim hated to turn back and so went on. "Wo knew that at Clarkesville a saloon keeper had a stuffed bull snake, and we concocted a plan to make Tim wish he had never left Atlanta. We got to the old fashioned hotel all right We were put in a big room, with four beds in it We drank a good deal, and Tim was in excellent spirits. It was a warm night, and most of us undressed. Tim pulled off everything but his shirt He lay down face foremost across the bed. Then I tied a string around the neck of the snake, put a fishhook at the other jfuid of the line and cautiously hitched ^the hook to Tim's shirt 'The next time he turned around he got a glimpse of the snake. 'Holy schmokel'he yelled 1 'Look!' And then he made a flash for the window. As he jumped out the window the fishhook pricked him in the back. He uttered an awful yell, said he had been bitten and went flying through the sandy streets of the town dressed in Kongo style. We followed and tried to catch him. At every step he swore he had been bitten, and that he would die. We overhauled him after the whole town had been aroused. We took him back to the hotel and filled him with whisky, telling him that was the only cure for a snake bite. The next morning he went to Atlanta and took a course under a physician for snake bite. For years after that Tim would brag about killing 20 snakes at one time and of having been bitten by one of them. He did not learn of the trick for five years, and then he threatened take my life."—Washington Star.

The Aryan Cowboys.

The study of domestic cattle should be of especial interest to us because they have undoubtedly occupied a more important place in our own ancestral history than any other species of animal. The Aryan tribesmen from whom nearly all western civilization folk are descended were cowboys almost to a man. Like the Kaffirs and damaras of South Africa today, all their thoughts were about their herds. This is shown in a curious way by the study of the early development of our language. The Sanskrit word for a king meant originally' 'a chief herdsman." The word for an assembly, or the meeting place of a congress, was the same as that for a cowyard. A soldier was "one who rights about cows. It would seem as if they regarded nothing else as worth ruling over or talking about or fighting for. Professor Max Muller traces the word "daughter" to the ancient term for a milkmaid. In the good old times they plainly did not take any account of young ladies who were not accomplished performers in the cowpen.

The cow or ox was for long ages the chief standard of value. Everything, from a new coat to a new wife, was priced at so many cows. Many of our words which refer to money bear traces of this, such as''fee" ^nd"pecuniary," which are directly aenvecl from the old English and Latin words for cattle. Doubtless there w^re currency disputes when other materials began to be used

Who Steals the Bibles?

Although nearly all the passenger cars running out of Chicago have little overhead racks marked "Read and Return," few of these racks contain Bibles, as they USMT to. The explanation is that the Bibles disappeared so systematically that the American Bible society discontinued furnishing them, believing that they could employ their money in fields in which it would be more appreciated. The suggestion has been made that the Bibles be attached to the car with chains, as city directories are in drug stores and hotels, but tbe idea of chaining down a Bible is so incongruous that it has met with little favor.—Chicago Tribune.

The Thought 8witch.

"I suppose," said Mr. Glimmerton, "that if a man is blessed with fairly good health he ought to be able to sleep nights, but, as a matter of fact, many {people lie awake half the night worrying over things not worth fretting about, and waking up in the morning tired out to start with. "What is needed is a thought switch tbat will switch the thoughts over from unpleasant lines to lines that are pleasant and keep them there. There are plenty of such switches now, but the trouble with 'em all "is that they don't lock. They're all open switches. A man g$ts over all right, but it's always up grade where this switch is laid, and the first thing he knows be slides back on the old line of thought What we want is a switch that will keep him on the right track till he's gathered strength enough to climb the hill to the level, where the going is easy, and where the track lies straight for dreamland.

FLASHED INTO EXISTENCE.1'

How Daabigny Studied a Door AU Day to Faint a Picture.

Charles Noel Flagg of New York tells interesting stories of bohemian life in Paris in the seventies. "I was at Honfleur one summer," said Mr. Flagg, "when the Daubignys— father and son—were there. I have always thought Daubigny the strongest and sanest landscape painter in the Barbizon group, and it was interesting to see how he worked and how he taught his son. This son was a man of brilliant talent, who died soon after, unfortunately. He would take an enormous canvas out into the field and cover it in «n hour and a half—this was to get composition, massing of light and shade, etc.—and then his father would come and criticise it Some of these big swift things were shown in the salon afterward. The painters used to contribute in one way or another to the fine old inn where we stopped, and the landlord wanted young Daubigny to paint the panel of a certain door. At last the painter promised to do it the next morning. I resolved to see that thing done, so I got up before dawn, planted myself in the old dining room at a good point of view and pretended to sketch from the window. Pretty soon young Daubigny came down professed to be not in the least disturbed by me, so I staid. He sat down in front of the door and looked at it hard for an hour or so. Then he got up and viewed it from different angles. Then he gazed at it from the end of the room. Then he sat down again. The hours came and went, and still he was studying that door, with scarcely a pause for meals. By afternoon I was nearly wild if he didn't open his paintbox soon, I would smash the door. At last at the beginning of twilight, presto!—I was too excited to see. All in a minute a few lightnings flashed out from him, and there was the miracle I And breathlessly I realized that he had been painting that picture all day."— Chicago Times-Herald.

MAKING A MINE.

In Some Instanced It Coata Nothing—In Others the Co«t Is Millions.

There are no hard and fast rules in regard to making a mine from tho time it passes into the prospector's hands until it becomes a dividend payer. Many mines are such, as the miners say, "from the grass roots," and turn out large quantities of ore from the beginning.

J. B. Haggin, the millionaire mine owner, took $3,000,000 from the Custer mine, in Lemhi county, Ida., before it became necessary to use a candle (giant powder). This mine was known as the Mineral mountain. A man came along one day, and after looking at it remarked, "Why, the hanging wall is gone." This was true. Nature had assisted the miner in this oase the mountain side had been eroded, leaving the mineral standing there. Mr. Haggin also spent about $3,000,000 in developing the Anaconda mine before it was on a paying basis.

Mines have beterP discovered containing fabulous wealth, although a prospector would starve to death in trying to work them. This was true in regard to the Homestake mine, in the Black Hills. The prospectors who made tho discovery could do nothing with it, and it passed into the hands of Senator Hearst and other California capitalists. They concluded that, unless it was worked on a large scale, it could not be made profitable. An 80 stamp mill was ordered and shipped in from Cheyenne, at a cost of $135,000, as an experiment. The mine ba§ paid in dividends $87,600 a nioutli for 17 years.

It requires a large amount of money usually to put a mine on a dividend paying basis, and, as a rule, this the prospector cannot do, although prospectors have made fortunes with their properties.—Spokane Spokesman-Review.

Vegetable Flowery s*

The far famed vineyards of the Rhine area great disappointment to tourists who see them for the first time. Vine clad hills may have pleased the poets, but apart from the sentiment aroused by the remembrances of the exaggerations of such writers they are not interesting and it is difficult to see how any one could have raved over their beauty. "A potato field is better," said one disenchanted traveler. Many flowers produced by edibles are worthy of place in our gardens. The scarlet runner is too well known to need commendation. An innovation reoently seen is what is known as tbe broad bean. Farmers use'them for food for cattle, though they are considered a table delicacy in foreign countries. The flower is one of the most peculiar seen in the vegetable world, being white with jet black markings. The white being as pure as that of the sweet pea, the effect is striking. —Brooklyn Eagle.
