Dr. H. M. Cooper, of this city, knew Judge Silas Bryan, of Salem, 111., father of the Democratic candidate for president, •very well, and tells some very interesting reminiscences concealing him. The elder Bryan was at one time a candidate for congress in the district in which Marion county was situated, and made a thorough canvass of-the district. In some of the comities there was a very strong copperhead sentiment, and as Bryan himself was a sopperhead he made use of some intemperate language in those communities that he would not dare to ule in the union countie*. Dr. Cooper happened to be present at several of the meetings where the copperhead sentiments were expressed, and he took especial pains to jot down some of the sentences used by the congressional candidate, and he not long after had an opportunity to make use of them. Bryan, in an effort to secure a large crowd at a meetiug he was to address at Xenia, in Clay county, where there was a strong Union sentiment, had advertised that there would be a joint discussion of the issues of the day between a certain gentleman from Springfield. III., and "a distinguished citi Ken of Viucennee." No such arrangements had been made, and the announcement was made simply to draw a crowd, which Bryan expected to address himself.

Hp

talked ^rery differently before this crowd, and omitted the disloyal expressions he had used in other counties where

L**»y were well received. Dr. Cooper was ..present at this meeting, and after Bryan delivered his address the doctor took the platform, drew forth his notebook, and read to the assembled crowd some of the disloyal utterance# the candidate for congress had made in the other counties. The speeches killed the candidate before that crowd, and he was greeted with hisses and jeers. He was smart enough, however, not to attempt to say anything, bat tucking a big watermelon under his arm descended from the platform and made his escape withrtut uttering a word. In the election that followed he was beaten for congress, and his two-faced stand on the

Union question, as exposed by Dr. Cooper, had as much to do with it as anything else,

The Terre Haute correspondent of the New York World, who to connected with the Gaaette, telegraphed to his paper the views of a number of prominent Democrats of city who are in favor of the Chicago Ida rm and will support tW ticket. The list Includes Crawford Fairbanks, Police Commissioner J. C. Kolsem. Hon. John E. Lamb, Judge Taylor, County Aasrasor Chaa. W. Koff. E. H. Bindley. John MoFall, A. J. Kelley, Reuben Butt, and Col. Begga. For wmt unexplained reason the view* of Revenue Collector Jump and Postmaster Donham, who are supposed to tie representatives of the party and the ad* ministration, were not given, nor was that

OX THE QUI YIVE.

That mtfst have been a very touching scene in the police court the other day when Attorney Kelly went after the ministerial members of the Civic Federation for the part they bad taken in the case of the Harkness brothers. Mr. Kelley declared it an outrage "to compel a brother to condemn his own brother and thereby separate the unity of brotherly love and unity and affection that existed between them," and waxed eloquent, according to the daily papers, in shouting "that it was no part of the great doctrine of Christianity for the expounders of the gospel to ruthlessly separate two brothers and embitter them against each other." The touching part of the scene was that Mr. Kelley was pleading for one brother who had already shown his brotherly love by swatting another brother in the nose because of the injury done him in his business by the filing of complaints by the one brother against violators of the Nicholson law. At the same time it did look a little hard to compel one brother to testify against another, when the trouble between them had been amicably settled, and when he had not filed the complaint himself. It would not have been the first time that a case had been dismissed for failure of the prosecuting witness to press the matter.

I have heard some persons complain in severe terms of the brother who committed the assault in this case. I can't see that there is anything in his action that is deserving of commendation, but I think a thousand times more of him than of the saloonkeepers who put him in the frame of mind that led him to such rash action by threatening to stop taking ice of him unless he compelled his brother to withdraw the complaints against saloonkeepers who had violated

vtbe

law. If there is any

hope on the part of the saloonkeepers that the Nicholson law may lie repealed, they must either abandon it or abandon such tactics as these. According to moral and all other laws we sometimes are compelled to allow people to live in the community with us, oven though they differ from us In their opinions.

The First National bank is the only bank in the city, I am told, that is using the gold clause in its notes, and these are some they have had on hand and been using at times for years. I was told this week of a big real estate transaction that fell through because one of the parties concerned would not assume a WO,000 mort gageoa some of-the properfry^eoncernwi payable in two years. He said that he would make the trade after the election, providing free silver was not successful, but. in the event of the success of the free silver cause he would not under any circumstances bind himself to pay such stun of money under the conditions likely to arise therefrom.

of Mr. Ball, editor of the only Democratic paper in the county. It woold be interesting to know what Judge Jump and Postmaster Donham think of the convention which rebuked and repudiated the man who gave them their positions. They are placed in a very embarrassing position, to say the least. They can hardly afford to go back on the administration, of which they area part, neither can they afford to say anything mean about the silver Democrats, among them Hon. John E. Lamb, Crawford Fairbanks and Senator Voorhees, through whose influence the president was induced to give them their jobs. About all they can do is to say nothing and saw wood. And they are doing that very industriously.

AMUSEMENTS.

HARBISON PARK CASINO.^,

Next week will be an attractive one at the Harrison Park Casino. The public seem to want vaudeville, and the manage ment has decided to give them the best and most expensive list of entertainers yet seen at the Casino: The Three-Headed Nondescripts, the greatest European sensation, "The Olifans" the "Two Petries," the princes of comedy song and dance "Hanley, Logan and Hanley," the originators of refined comedy sketch the "Three Barretts," in their marvellous comedy club juggling act Miss Sadie Hart, America's premier acrobatic dancer Thompson and Johnston, the celebrated and inimita ble knockabout comedians Carrie Scott the renowned character artist and the originator of the "Bowery Girl." This partial list comprises such entertainers as will furnish the very best amusement. The medley concert to-morrow (Sunday) night will be one of the most attractive yet given, as the Temple Opera Company will be seen in the most choice selections in conjunction with the great new vaudeville company which is engaged for next week. The prices, notwithstanding the enormous expense in securing this list of entertainers, will remain as usual. Tickets purchased from any of the conductors of electric cars, or leading druggists, including car fare to and from Harrison Park and admission to Casino. 15c,

NOTES.

The great and only Maggie Cline is going out next season as a dramatic star, in "On Broadway."

Vernona Jarbeau is announced as being engaged to head anew extravaganza company which is to go out the coming season.

Edward Harrigan will be seen next season in his newest play, "Marty Malone," which is said to be somewhat after the style of "Old Lavender."

Pauline Markham will star next season in a new southern play, called "In Old Carolina." Pauline wjll not be the most youthful star on the road by any means. "Lost in Siberia," the new Russian play which Thomas H. Davis and William T. Keogh will give an early production, will contain, it is said, many realistic scenes, including a view of the historic Kremlin, in Moscow an outpost in Siberia and a panoramic view of the wild steppes on the Russian-Siberian road, where prisoners escaping from Siberia race for life, pursued by packs of wolves.

Tim Murphy, he of "Texas Steer" fame, is making quite a hit on the vaudeville stage in his imitatipn of celebrated actors, His "Dream of Mathias," from "The Bells, is a strikingly life like impersonation of Sir Henry Irving in the character named Mr. Murphy has a few more weeks in the continuous performance houses, but will head his own company again next season for which he has secured anew play.

The Vigo Fair.

The indications point to a most successful fair next month for the Vigo Agricultural society. Some special features are being arranged for, among them being the voting to the most popular young lady in Vigo county of a fine ISO bed room suite and rocker, donated by Willis Wright, the furniture man at 434 Main street. One vote will be given with each ticket of admission, and it is the idea to hare the contest begin before the actual opening of the fair. Another special feature is the prise of a fine *100 bicycle to be given by the society to the person selling the greatest number of tickets to the fair. The regu lar attractions for the fair, it is vtr*+cted, will outnumber those of any previous year, and with the races, which will be most interesting, and the other attractions, it is thought thai the fair will draw a larger crowd than for many years past.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Every now and then, when a crowd of women get together, the old question of the divine institution of the family comes up, writes Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss in the Rockville Republican. It was once argued (mainly by the male sex) that it is as easy to take care of six children as of one. This, however, is along exploded theory, experi ence and observation having shown us that it is just six times harder to care for six children than for one child. Women who have no children are frequently heard to say that housekeeping is just as hard for them as for a woman with children. This is simply an absurdity, and no woman who.:Wpare has not got dinner with a fretting baby oh, her arm and another courting death tinder the spout of the teakettle, clinging to her skirts, knows the first thing about the difficulties of housekeeping. The man or woman who argues that a large family does not require more labor than a small one has not one inch of ground to base his theory upon in the face of the actual experience of those who have tried it. Times have not been favorable to large families for some years, and with that faculty for adaptation, which seems to belong to poor humanity, people are beginning to see that into a world which offers" them so little chance for success or happiness, it were better not to bring more people. Hence the Malthusian theory flourishes, and the large family is a thing of the past. In the old days, the woman who had only six children carried herself with a touch of triumphant pity toward her neighbor with thirteen, just as now the woman with one or two, patronizes and sympathizes with her poor, dear friend who has six. There a deep moral question involved in this subject, if one were a mind to fish it up from under the layers of custom, which, as time goes on, hide from mortal ken many a question of right or wrong, once considered vital, now relegated, in favor of some new solution of the question, more nearly suited to the desires of mankind as he is. For mankind makes conscience he makes duty he makes right and wrong he makes taste he makes religion and some people say he makes God, for "there are many gods, and they are all very much like the people who make them."

If there is one true God, who made man in His own image and woman out of man's rib, it was His plan that the pair should multiply and replenish the earth. Has He changed that plan, or have we who have unravelled the secrets of Dame Nnrrare changed it for Him If so, by what right Countless questions of this sort may be asked, with apparently no satisfactory reply, upon many subjects involving points of morality. The facts, however, remain. Women have made up their minds not to act in the capacity for which they were obviously intended. They have risen up and asserted themselves, and formally declined to bring forth and rear large families.

The result is favorable the women themselves are happier they stay young and pretty longer they can better dress, feed and educate a few children than many.

And what of the childless couples Ah, well, they and the children they do not have are spared many a care and trouble If love is incomplete, and life lacking in fruition, pain and trouble are also unknown, and if they die with character un developed, what matter? What matter, indeed, unless we believe that development here is counted gain in the world to come Unless we believe that pain is worth something to us, and that it is well for us to "suffer and be strong When one comes down to a question like this, however, he will find the majority of people ready to brush it aside As the merest sentimental ism. for, though most people will take as fact the great tenets of Christian morality, there are only a few who see the finer points and note the rare distinctions, perceptible only to those who have attained the "inner life." &

The various peculiarities of that masculine individual who usually bears the title of "the man of the house" are favorite subjects of the other sex. They understand him perfectly. They have summered him and wintered him, and any extra proof of his obtuseness only calls forth the remark:

That is just like a man With some unsympathetic wives man is despot, and his will is the pivot upon which the household affairs resolve. His convenience regulates the hour for every meal his preference marks the choice of the food to be served. Due deference must be paid to all his opinions, for he is plainly a creature to be managed by feminine cunning and to be led by apparent submisslveness. He Is the monarch of the domestic, social and financial departments, women are supposed to be his slaves, to carry out his wishes.

But If he has become all this, and much more in rare instances, it is woman, as wife, mother or sister, who has made him so. "The man of the house" is not naturally depraved. He has still enough of the divine in him to mould his character symmetrically and make him a joy and a blessing to all in the home. Where was ever a true home without its master? We conk! exist, we might drag wearily out our remaining years, but could we live our happy, hearty, toil-laden bat blessed life without our "man of the boose?"

This man has a few faults as we ourselves are guilty of. in all probability. And it is really comforting to our self-love to note that he la not quite perfect. It is worth the ten to see him lose his temper on a "confounded stovepipe" or a balky horse to have him fotget to replenish the fire in time to save its life: to have him bring home arnica instead of peppermint

-vYou can now get a coquettish dimple for your face for $300. It is a high price, and lojM of pain must be suffered but women will have them, no matter at what cost. Ijondon surgeons manufacture a fascinating dimple for the sum named. But it is considered a good investment by plain women who are getting fearful about their phances of marrying.

And the woman who desires to rid herself of wrinkles, crow's feet, and generally to improve the condition of her facial cuticle, can retreat from the world for a time, enter the abode where beauty, skin deep, is manufactured, and submit to a course of treatment which, as a mere cure for disease, would seem appalling—for it literally means being flayed alive by acids and electy,«Jffihea. she emerges with a faultess skin of nabyish texture she will begin the study of her features, and, if not found satisfactory, they, too, in turn must be doctored. The nose may be straightened by wearing a metal mask, the mouth made the proper artistic size by a surgical operation, and the eyebrows arched to a symmetrical curve.

The two great difficulties eflcotintef&l in remodeling personal appearance are the reduction of surplus flesh for the fat woman and the creating of adipose tissues for the lean woman. The stout woman who wishes to become graceful and sylphlike must practice a diet-sheet and undergo a series of daily exercises that will prove a pain as well as a weariness to the flesh. While the substituting of Venus-like proportions for an emaciated figure is even a more tedious and difficult task, involving the complete building up of the nervous system and digestive organs

Enamel is rarely used nowadays by the most enthusiastic devotee of beauty. Ar senic has also lost its prestige, and the use of varnish as a cosmetic has vanished into limbo. The woman who loves beauty, but has not the courage of her convictions to the extent of suffering for the cause, "goes in" for the best possible substitutes—plenty of outdoor exercise, the rule of "early to bed," and a generally normal existence that leaves her nerves uninjured and her disposition unruffled. ift

And even if any of us should possess a "man of the house" that does not come up to this average of perfection and faultiness, but rather inclines toward the faulty side in the opinion of the "home keeper," just try to search for the good qualities underneath the faults, and some traits of surprising worth will surely be found in even the most unsatisfactory man of the house.

Jxo woman can see the same faces, day after day, have the same surroundings and attend to the same duties without suffering from it. Change is absolutely necessary to development. A woman whose life knows no change becomes morbid, narrow-minded, self-opinioned, unlovable and unhappy. To many women a decided change is absolutely impossible. There are the duties undertaken that cannot be neglected, and there is no money with which to employ help. It is hard to get away from home for even a few hours, and then rest seems more to be coveted than any change that out be secured for so short a time but in the neighborhood where the woman's club has made its appearance tills state of affairs no longer exists. There is something to look forward to so entirely different from the everyday life that one is given the necessary stimulus to undertake the task of getting away from home. A woman may not be in entire sympathy with all that Is said and done at these clubs, but it is good for her to be where she can compare ideas with others, and more especially such ideas as are usually brought ont in a large comP«wy.

Frochs cannot get it, as if he were to make a claim the government would confiscate it. On the other hand, the claim must soon be made or the government will take it anyway by expiration of time.

An Up-to-Date Defense.

Any person who has witnessed a modern criminal trial and listened to the propositions made by the prosecution and defense to what they expect to prove by the same evidence, will appreciate the follow ing statement by the counsel tor the defense, who did not propose to see his client convicted:

We propose to show, gentlemen of the Jury," said counsel for the defense, "that it is impossible for the defendant to have committed this crime.

In the first place, we Ml] prove the defendant tw nowhere near the

of the crime at the time the crime was committed. "Next we will offer the indisputable testimony of persons who saw the defendant on the spot, aud who did not see the defendant commit the crime.

Don't, wheu it is cool in the morning, prophesy heat at noon. Doirt li- around in a negligee. One is is miuh cooler when properly clad.

Don't drink iced water in great quantities nor too soon ifter being overheated. Dou't sit iibout doing nothing and com-v plaining of the heat. One is much cooler when one is usefully employed.

Don't sp»nd your summer readingtrashy novels. Employ your leisure in the perusal of really goo.l books.

People ride to and from their work all the time now, where they formerly walked or on bad days rode in the cars. If a person wants to go around the corner he will get on his wheel, instead of walking, as he once did.

Never wear a shoe or boot so large in the heel that the foot is not kept in place. Never wear a shoe with a sole narrower than the outline of the foot traced with a pencil close under the rounding edge.

Never wear a shoe or boot that has depressions in any part of the sole to drop any joint or bearing below the level pltvne*

Never wear a shoe with a sole turning up very much at the toes, as this causes the cords on the upper part of the foot to contract.

Never wear the top of the boots tight, as it interferes with the action of the calf muscles, makes one walk badly and spoils the shape of the ankle.

Never wear one pair of shoes all the time, unless obliged to do so. Two pairs of boots worn a day at a time alternately give more service and are much more healthful.
