ON THE QUI VIVE.

lit would appear on the face of the returns that Q. V. ha* done a grave injustice to the editor of the Gazette on the money question. A few weeks ago I said that it was very probable that when the Democratic convention declared in favor of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1, regardless of the action of other na tions, that the Gazette editor, who had been advocating the gold standard, would flop over to his party platform. There had been a few premonitory symptoms, indicting that the flop was ready for action, but last night's Gazette contains a little warning that leads me to think that perhaps I have done the Gazette man a grave wrong. It is an innocent little item on the local page of the Gazette which reads as follows:

Do you hold a policy in a life or fire insurance company? Vote for free coinage and you vote to reduce by one-half the value of your policy.

Witbthis statement on the part of the Gazette, Q. V. in compelled to admit, until further notice, that he has done a grave injustice to the Gazette editor, and'hastens to make the proper acknowledgement.

It is a good thing that the whippingpost, and the ducking stool and various other forms of the old blue laws are not in force in this community just now, for there are persons here who would insist on seeing them all enforced. I heard this week of a minister who made the remark that it was a good thing that the opera house was burned for it made it certain that we would have no more Kirmess performances on its stage. What do you think of that for a Christian spirit as exemplified in this ear of our Lord, 1896

It is safe to say that there is not another county in the state where a resolution condemning the Nicholson law, demanding its repeal and pledging the nominees of any party convention to work for its repeal could have been adopted by an unanimous vote as was done in the Democratic county convention Saturday. The action of the convention created the impression that the Democratic party as a party is opposed to & the law and interested in seeing it reW pealed, but such is not the case, as is very well known. To a great many pers&ns,

Democrats as well as Republicans, it ums like an uncalled for and foolish fthing to do, especially as the Democratic state platform practically ignores the question. It is safe to say that the resolution will not make a* vote for the Democratic candidates for the legislature, and it is equally certain that there are nmnyT)em&-

'crats who do not believe in a wide-open policy, and will quietly but effectually condemn any attempt to commit the party ,to such a policy. It is rather a radical l\/step to take in a party convention, to condemn as a measure calculated to create discord in homes, and break family ties, a law that was passed by a legislature in which it received votes from, both parties, was approved by a governor of a political faith opposed to the majority in the legislature, when it was unnecessary for him to do so, and then approved by a supreme court, whose majority was made up of memlters of the same faith as the governor who made it possible to become a law. It was a radical thing to do, but as this .seems to be a campaign of radical steps it /tvnminod for the Democrats of Vigo oounty to take a step a little in advauce of auythiug that has yet been done.

Q. V. is ready with the largest and blackest pencil that was ever made to give Mayor Ross and the police department a good mark for their efforts to enforce the laws protecting shade trees. More profanity is indulged in for necessity sake because of the carelessness that leads to the destruction of shade trees than on auy other account, and I will wager a great deal ou it. In fact if it were not for his early training Q. V. would long before this become irreparably profane because of the wholesale destruction of his shade trees. The grocery man, the butcher man, the farmer who raises trees to sell, the peddler —all have hail a shy at his shade trees, and that they are not all In an early grave is because of the training aforesaid. 1 know of one grocery man in thin town who is entitled to a gold medal, or a 16 to 1 if he preit, on account of the strict rule he en^s with his drivers. If they aw careatul allow his horses to ruin a shade

PW he replaces it and takes it out of the wages of the driver who allows the horse (so destroy the tree. Some very well known olYuctt* have been fined this week for violating the law and hitchiifg their horses to I ihade trees, and a wholesale enforcement »f this law will preserve many trees on which time and money have been spent.

And for that reason Q. V. doffs his hat to «JUe mayor and the police force.

The Indianapolis News referred recently to an evil resulting from modern street irn(itowwat methods that has been noticed with striking effect in this city, and that is that with paved streets and cement sidewalks surface drainage is quickly disposed «*f, and the shade tree® do not get the moisure tttxttssary for their succwwfr' rtowth. The result is that the tree® are ds grmltally and unless* proper methods are taken or their preservation* Terre Haul* once **«d for her shade tree* will, before nu» ear*, be deprived of thrrrr along herpt*^. .4tmte. The New* re la* to method adopted Philadelphia as being eatenhiked to solve the solution of ttoe proper moisture for such it is a n^' twKl that has been in here ever j*iu oar first street paving began, that of .Inking short piece# of tiling aitwnd the trees, through which water can be poured in any quantities deal red.

tion, but a Terre Haute gentleman with whom I talked recently on this subject has a still better plan, and one, too, that looks entirely feasible. It is, that hereafter in paving streets, these pieces of tiling instead of being placed in the ground between the curbing and grass plot along the sidewalk, should be made part of the permanent improvement. By his plan the pieces of tiling would be placed in the curbing at regular intervals, running directly from the street towards the roots of the trees, with a screen over the mouth that would prevent the washing of dirt into the opening. It can readily be seen that when there was a rain the water instead of being carried away rapidly by the sewers would run into these openings and water the roots of'the trees directly, and without any effort on the part of the owners. It would relieve the sewers of much of their water, and still at the same time furnish enough to flush them and make them 'useful for sanitary purposes. Of course such a plan as that outlined here would increase the cost of street improvement, but what owner of residence property is there who, having fine shade trees, would not willingly undertake this slight additional expense in order to main tain his trees, the value of which are almost beyond calculation. The plan Bug gested here is that of Raymond Kintz, the contractor. It looks practical, and it is to be hoped that the next time the council decides to pave a residence street an effort will be made to carry it into effect, for a square or two, at least, to see if the experim|nt can be made successfully.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

A Bath, Me., young woman church member who played cards from 7 o'clock until 10 one evening and died the next morning, gave the Rev. F. W. O'Brien the occasion to denounce card playing and also to express the conclusion that the young woman, though in the church, was not saved.

The surplus potato crop is to be utilized in a new way. A factory has been put in operation in Minnesota. "to produce whisky from the tuber. It is said in seventy-two hours the potatoes come out of the factory in bottles ready for the market, it is alleged the new brand is not as good as rye or corn, but it will give a man a satisfactory drunk.

In the intervals between lynchings, tenderness toward animals is being encouraged in Texas. A Galveston alderman who was so shocked at a dog catcher's methods of flnal resort that he induced the common council to ordain that captured dogs must be asphyxiated has now declared himself about to establish a prevention of cruelty society.

A young New York physician, one of the medical staff attached to what is probably the largest insane institution in the world, and situated in that state, announces that he has discovered the germ of acute mania, that most fatal of diseases. He has also been able to relieve a patient so afflicted by tapping and draining the spinal marrow, an operation which has long been supposed would mean death itself.

A mail tube is under consideration for carrying mail between the New York and Brooklyn postoffices. If built it will crors the bridge and be operated by electricity or pneumatic pressure. The bridge trustees a&k a rental of $8,000 for the first two years and $6,000 a year thereafter. It is stated that the postoffice department is willing to pay from $14,000 to $15,000 a year to a company that will transport the mail by tube.

In a few minutes he was standing in the center of a throng who had come to look at him, and he laid his hands on them and blessed them.

AMUSEMENTS.

MARRtSOX PARK CASINO.

The vaudeville programme presented at this popular resort this week has attracted appreciative audiences. The entertainment is first-class in every particular, and many of the features surpass those given by the leading companies of this character. A vaudeville programme will be given again next week, with several of this week's favorites retained. The regular concert will be given to-morrow afternoon, with an interesting programme for the entertainment to-morrow night. It is one of the most delightful places in the city to spend an enjoyable evening, and is attracting a class of patronage that is gratifying to the management, as showing their efforts to furnish a first-class show are Appreciated by the amusement public.

Col. John T. Cr~*\ orr^f the Democratic leaders of Mfssi 1, heard a man whom he knew to be a candidate for governor speak of going to a neighboring store to buy a .!r of suspenders.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Did you ever notice, writes Mrs.' Dr. Westbrook in the Home Queen for August, how many mothers are invalids before they are thirty and broken down, wrinkled and prematurely old by the yme they have reached the age of forty

It is not a woman's fault if she is not born handsome and strong but it is largely her own fault, and that of her education, if she does not attain to some measure of beauty and strength by the time die has reached middle life.

The Frenchman Nichelet, speaking of American women, says: "She isan exquisite invalid, with a perennial headache and a tendency toward nervous prjpstration."

If women only knew it they could change all this. In the first place the girl should sto&y her own organization and her own constitution. Anatomy and physiology should become familiar sciences. She will then know better than to compass her che$t with corsets she will know better than to decrease her breathing capacity, and to reduce the power of the thoracic muscles. If you confine any part of it so it cannot perform its function, that part becomes weak and comparatively useless. "I put on my corsets the moment Iteave my bed," a lady told mer "I should faint aWay if I did not." .'!•

The muscles of that part had so long been idle, so long been bound in splints of whalebone and steel, they had become weak and atrophied. What support could they afford in an hour of trial

What could a man do at defending him? self whose arms had been carried in a sling for weeks, to say nothing of years in tight-fitting corset

At the lower part of the chest are the socalled "floating ribs." These are very readily compressed. Sometimes they become folded inward, thus still further con tracting the breathing space. From this cause the air cells in the lower part of the lungs become like the pores of a dried-up sponge.-.

That broad, flat muscle, the diaphragm which nature intended should assist in respiration, is confined as if held in a vice, and is quite unable to do its work.

It is, in fact, actually forced to do mischief. It is obliged to help in pushing down the important viscera which lie below it, thus causing a dreadful prolapsus of many important parts.

As if this were not enough, the foolish and misguided woman puts her pretty feet onTiigh heels, arid so produces further displacement and then disease, prolonged suffering, and often death. In this way tfer offspring are robbed, at the.very outset, of their vitality, and cheated out of their birthright to health and strength.

Surely the mother who would knowingly do this is neither wise nor conscientious, and cannot be beautiful herself either mentally, morally, or physically.

The trouble is they do not know. Myriads of youug girls on the very threshold of womanhood are standing with shattered systems, who, if they knew and could explain the cause, would say, "My mother never told me."

Between the parent and growing youth or maiden there should be the most perfect confidence and freedom of conversation on the most sacred and most intimate laws of life and of hygiene.

The mother who cannot intuitively un derstand even the temptations of her son has no right to have a son. The woman who cannot so order her own life, and so prescribe ante-natal conditions as to reduce temptations to a minimum and bring resistance to temptations to its maximum has no right to be a mother.

Every one who can will go away during this month, if only for a day or two but there are many to whom even this is denied, and if circumstances compel her to forego the pleasure and benefits of a change of air, a woman owes it to herself to get the most comfort out of a summer in the city that she can, says a writer in the Home Queen. Her clothing should be adapted to the hot weather, and if she has never worn wrappers, now is the time to don them. A cool, thin dimity or lawn wrapper, leaving the body free and unhampered from morning until late afternoon, helps much toward physical comfort. The wrappers need not be new and should not be elaborate, lest the work of laundering become a burden. One woman, with a genius for "making over," makes her wrappers out of her cotton gowns. Belts are ripped from waist and skirt, the two are joined with a felled seam, and the opening to the waist carried down Into the skirt. The wrappers are not models of grace or elegance, but they are cool, comfortable, and cost nothing. When the skirts are much fuller than the bottom of the waist the two are gathered at the waistline in the back Mid a band of the same, or of insertion, stitched acisws. This has been very successful.

Just as important as dress is the summer diet, and here fruit and vegetables the place ofmeavas far as possible. l"*r plenty of cooling drinks, made erf fruit -yrups give up baking at home and boy

A subject that is attracting much attention «t present is the woman drummer. She has entered American commercial life, and she is there to stay. That's what ber men competitors say about it.

about her, for everybody has learned that she is filling her niche in the world with satisfaction to herself and her employer, and, in most oases, without lessening her self-respect or losing the respect of others.

To some it is almost a sacrilege to speak of a woman as a drummer. But why not woimen drummers? There are women lawyers, women doctors and women preacher^ and, in fact, there is hardly a known lin| of trade but has a woman working at it. Women have just as much right to go on the road and earn a respectable salary aa they have to stand in a close, stuffy stole all day, showing irascible customers a tipe of ribbons or calicoes, for $3 per wetjL True, someone will say they have nojfght in a store, their place is at home.

JXflb life of a drummer is not a bed of rOSes, and the woman who has sufficient nerve to withstand the hardships and inconveniences to be encountered on the road is indeed worthy of admiration. The woman drummer differs very materially from the men drummers, especially as the latter do sometimes take it easy, while the women seem to throw their whole soul into their business. The woman drummer is just as fond of home and loved ones as is her sister who is constantly talking of these things at club meetings, and she is just as womanly and as eager to support those agencies calculated to elevate the human racfe whenever she finds the time to spare from her never-ending duties.

J^r. Lyman Abbott believes in fd-educa At least he says that the main arguagainst the mingling of the sexes at is that "th'ey are apt to fall in love it married, and that," he asserted in nt after-dinner speech to the Oberlin alumni, "is a thing of which I ily approve. I fell in love and got ed myself, and I think it Was the thing I ever did. Indeed, if I were addressing undergraduates I am not sure btit that I would, advise them to elect the stud$r of huqian nature with one tutor each:" i:

The new woriaan does not trouble Dr. Abbott, either. "While I do not care to see wotaen running into the professions," he said, "and becoming stenographers, laVtfers, doctors, reporters, and what not, yet Ijwould by no means debar them from th&t ^privilege if they so desire. I would have them free to choose for themselves. The idea of forcing them into the home is absurd. If men must corral women in order to marry them, then they'd better be c|d bachelors. But I believe that social proHems will be so worked out before majy years that men will be the sole biwfcliifthsf and women will taktfth place for which they are so well suited and in which they are happy—that of home makers and home keepers. For myself I want to say that whatever of fame has come to me, or whatever I have accomplished is due to the wisdom, counsel and inspiration of that angel that has walked by my side. I feel sure, too, that she rejoices more in any honors that have come to me than if they had been bestowed upon herself."

Women do not understand the amount of sleep they need, or if they understand it they neglect what should be an obligation to themselves—altogether the more probable. They certainly do not know what a help more sleep would be to them mentally, sanitarily and personally—this in qarticu lar—or they would try to get more. A very large proportion of them who are virtually invalids, though they may not admit it who are rarely cheerful and hopeful, through deranged nerves who are complaining, fretful, nagging who cannot imagine what ails them—are what they are from lack of adequate sleep. They as cribe their conditions, the failings, to a variety of causes, but never to the right one—which is, so to speak, under their very eyes, and therefore unsuspected. Many, chiefly those who are overfond of society, recognize their incapacity to rest at night, and try to overcome it by narcotics or sedatives, without any permanent success. They substitute artificial for natural means, and pay the penalty. As a rule, they sleep best v^ho Bleep most, and they sleep worse who sleep least. The true curatives are within ourselves, and this truth is steadily dawning on our minds.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTIONS. The People's party convention which met inn St. Louis on Wednesday has had turbulent sessions and at this writing has not finished its business. The struggle has been between those who want the Democratic ticket endorsed by a formal nomination and those who do not want the People's party to lose its independence by by being absorbed by the Democracy. It would have been less difficult to endorse the Chicago ticket if Sewall were not the candidate. To avoid the possibility of swallowing him while gulping Bryan the convention decided to nominate a vice president first and after midnight last night the noted Populist congressman from Georgia, Tom Watson, was nomiinated on the first ballot, This morning Bryan was placed in nomination for president by General Weaver, the presidential candidate of VS0&.

The Silver party convention held In St. Louis this week was a perfunctory affair and endorsed the Chicago ticket by acclamatios.

At the meeting of the city council Wednesday night a petition was presented from the saloon keepers asking a reduction of the city saloon license. They represented that the enforcement oT the Nicholson bill, requiring them to close on Sundays and holidays and at eleven o'clock had so affected their business that they felt that they were entitled to a reduction of their license. It was claimed that the liceuse in Evansville is but $75, and they thought that a reduction to $150 would be the fair thing. The petition was referred to a special committee, consisting of Messrs. Burgett, Neukom, Briggs, Seeburger and Liehr, which will report at the next meet, ing of the council.

At the Opera House fire, Tuesday night. Firemen Walter Bell and Reyn Early were suspended for being drunk on duty. The fire committee investigated the charges at a meeting last night, and at the close of the testimony offered both men tendered their resignations as members of the department. These were accepted, but noappointments were made of their successors. There is much regret that this unfortunate thing should have occurred, as both men have been valuable members of the department for years, Bell having at one time been assistant chief. The breach of discipline was so flagrant, however, that with the testimony offered the committee could have done uothing but discharge them.

Daniel Crowe, for forty years a resident of this city, but more recently of Washington, D. C., where he held an appointment as doorkeeper in the pension office, died there Tuesday. He was sixty-eight years of age. From 1865 to 1869 he acted as chief of police in this cityu in 1873-4 he was

to a position in the pension department, which he held until the election of Harrison. When Cleveland was re-electef Mr. Crowe was reappointed to the position in' the pension office, which he had held ever since. He had a most thorough knowledge of Washington and its sights, and be made it his duty when Terre Haute people were in the capital to look after them in the most thorough manner. Two children survive him, Mrs. Julia Collins, of Columbus, Ohio, and Daniel V. Crowe, an engineer on the Vandalia. ""The body was brought here for burial, the funeral being held at Ryan's undertaking establishment yesterday afternoon.

Harry Hanna, who has been a member of the police department for several months past, was found in a beastly stage of intoxication in a shed on the river front this week, and as he had been up before the commissioners several times for neglect of duty, he knew he had no show on trial for such charges, and so resigned. Supernumerary Stephen Clark was promoted to the position of patrolmau, and the commissioners yesterday appointed Dennis Sughrue to the position created by Clark's promotion. Sughrue is a railroader by occupation, and has the physique to make him a model policeman. He is a base ball crank of the most pronounced type, and when we had a ball club here he was noted as being the most lively coacher on the bleachers. Several years ago when the local club was playing our hated rivals, the Evausvllles, a fair ball was knocked by a home player into the levee gang, of which Sughrue was a leading member, and he grabbed the ball and! threw it over the fence in the hope that It would benefit the home team. A man with that much home pride ought to makeagood "copper."

A late fad introduced by a sensible woman in Cincinnati is the "apple feast," to replace the afternoon tea drinking that has ruined the nerves of so many society women. The guests assemble around the table and choose their favorite pippin from the dishes of apples of all colors and kinds. The fruit is supposed to give both beauty and color to women, and it is surprising with what renewed energy around of social calls can be resumed under the tonic and health-giving influence of the wholesome fruit.
