ON THE QUI VIVE.

Mr. Bradbury, the humane officer, the man who has the restful job, engaged in a sidewalk debate but soon after felt compelled to exercise his police authority and arrest the man who resorted to physical exertion in answering the points Bradbury had been making. His controversial friend was George W. Benefleld, a man of twice Bradbury's age, who comes from Sullivan county. Benefleld used a broom handle for a weapon. He was fined for assault and battery and an effort was made to convict Bradbury on the charge of provoke but there was doubt in Mayor Ross' mind as to whether or not he had called Benefleld "an old rebel." Benefleld is quoted as saying that he had fought three men for calling him a rebel. If he were not a rebel perhaps he has aright to feel bad about being called one but there area whole lot of men who were rebels and who belong to Mr. Benefleld's political party who do not take offense at the designation. Still, it does npt seem quite clear how the calling of a man a rebel will convert him to sound money.

Editor Strouse, of the Rockville Tribune thia week'makes a frank confession that he has bought 100 Mexican dollars, paying for them 150 in cash and $10in advertising, regretting th$t he Is unable to huy more, which he intends to have coined into-100 United States dollars if the Bryan doctrine prevails and pay $100 of debts with the money. "As to the morality of the transaction," says, he, that is "we" of the editorial room, "we will take (Air chances on the side of the debtor who haa lost the difference by reason of the single gold standard." Mr. Strouse isthe most candid advocate of the free coinage of half value dollars that has gone on record up to date.

If the intensity of personal feeling now manifested in the street debates on the money question continues toincrease during the next two months, there will be many street fights. Nearly every debate ends just as there is a fair promise of a fight. The free silver people are much given to recounting the ability of a colored man who espouses their cause. His name is Branson, and he is said to be a Bagdad, shoemaker, but at present his pegs and awls know him not. A few days ago while he was talking to a sidewalk crowd a specimen of the old-time, plantation colored brother stopped at the outskirts thf crowd and craned Jbis head, to hear Branson. Attej a minute or two he jerked hip head around, looked jlnto the faces of those near him as if he doubted his sense Qf hearing and listened again.* The expression ot his face told the story. He wia astounded that a colored man should be advocating the election of a Democrattc president. Oblivious of the fact that he was interrupting the argument, he said: "Be you going to vote for Bryan "Yes, I am," replied Branson. "An' you a niggah," was the scornful reply. Branson got hold of him later and promised to show him some statistics and returning to the crowd said he would "land that nigger, sure." Some of the free silver men, that is, Democrats who are for free silver just as the leader, John Lamb is, because it is the party platform, do not get close to Branson just close enough to gather silver wisdom from bis Hps,

A. M. Ogle, vice president of the Indiana bituminous operators association, has broken the agreement and put the miners at the Island City mines at work at 60 cents a ton. It was only a few days ago that Ogle furnished the Indianapolis newspapers with an interview to make a showing that the operators could not pay 60 cents and sell coal at a profit. It now remains to be seen if other operators will concede the price. The miners won the strike last year by the bad faith of operators and it seems likely that they are to repeat the experience. It is not to be wondered at that there is so much suspicion among miners and operators. The former are suspicious of their own representatives and would not believe an operator on oath. The action of Ogle will increase this feeling of distrust. The operators as a rule are capable of keeping faith but some of them have been known to make pledges which they prepared to violate while they were making them.

There has been a good deal of the new jjeater tilk th*s week but as yet nothing efinite can be said as to the prospects for a theater for this winter. Mr. Dickson, however, positively assert# that there will be a theater and he seems to expect Mr. Cox to build It. Mr. Gdx has been considersbly puasled as to what to do. lie does not want to erect a building on the site of the Nay lor opera house that will not be a credit to the city, but he also wants some sort of a show for his money. The idea is to build a ground floor house with entrance on Fourth street, the stage facing weet. This would necessarily make the Main street storerooms shallow and there arises one of the difficulties of the situation. It is a mistaken impression that a theater boiHing is a paying investment. The Naylor opera house rented for $3,000 a year and the owner furnished the heat which meant the salary of a man during the season besides the ofat of fuel. The opera house caused a heavy rate of insurance and so altogether that part of the building was not so profitable an investment as many thought. If Mr. Cox can find tsnanta for the other part of the building he may build a fchuater. He has been waiting for the return of Mr. Albrecht from the esmt to consult with htm about the Main street rooms. The office bo'lding project ha* little in it as an Inducement. There t* «o chance of renting all the rooms, aatt a *alf occupied •.M ,, j*/

TERRE HAUTE,

office building, such as was the Rose dispensary for along time, is not alluring to a man with money to invest.

Theie has been talk ef a theater at the southwest corner of Second "and Main streets, but Mr. Dickson notified the movers in the enterprise that he would not lease it for along term of years nnder any consideration. His position is that the location is not suitable that it would result ill the erection of a high class theater farther east and in the end the Second street theater would become a variety house. There also ha* been talk of a theater on the lot north df the Terre Haute house, but the Terre Haute house company is not in a humor to make the investment. One of the stockholders said that several years ago before the addition was madjp to the hotel, there was some reason for hulking a theater on the lot that there might be more hotel rooms in the structure, ttUt now with the hotel large enough the cflljipany did not feel like goinjg farther in debt to building a theater, which, to say th6 least, is a risky investment according to ipsuranc^statistics.

THE FALL RACES.

I Kv. The Trotting Association has received assurance that the railroad companies will make special rates for race week, and tike prospect is that on Tuesday and "Wednesday there will be big excursion crowds to the city to see the Prince Orient display and to attend the races. The Orient people and Trotting Association folks asked the railroad companies for something better than a fare one way for the round trip and it was refused. Then the Terre Haute papers exposed the injustice of the course of the roads by showing how they made special rates for other cities. What is wanted is a dollar rate from Indianapolis, Mattoon, Effingham, Danville and Evansville. If these rates are granted the Trotting Association will change the programme and have one, at least, of their big races on Wednesday. Usually the two free-for-alls are set for Thursday and Friday.

The entries for the five new purses, in eluding the two free-for-alls, ill not close until September 7th, but there is reason to believe that they will be well filled. Every effort will be made to get the famous ones of the year here for the two events. If they do ooxpe here tberp will be some world's records made on the world's record track.

Thorndlne, 2.18&, a!s a ^year-old has

joined

Richard Tilden's stable. In 189518,441 horses, valued at $2,705,08®, were exported from the United States.

Martha Wilkes took a trotting record of 2.08 in 1892. She is now going at that pace. A number of Grand Circuit trainers are using raw hide bandages on their horses this season. V•

Orrin Hickok ha& given Hilda to George Starr to handle, as Beuzatta is in the same class.

Commodore Porter, &.l8, wm recently gelded. He pulled a road wagon a quarter in 82 seconds.

Isaac Fleming has bought a nomination for his speedy trotter, Page, 8.09K» the Transylvania stake.

Mary Best, 2.123^, has been bred to Ira Wilkes, 8.11. Mary will probably not be raced again this year. A"

Azote, 2.06JI, by Whips, has been turned out to pasture and Mr. Salisbury's fast 8-year-old, Directly, has gone lame.

The champion stallion Directu^ 2.05JI, by Director, has been taken from Kentucky to Michigan for stud duty. He will not be campaigned this year.

The latest pacing wonder is Dan T., the 5-year-old son of King Belair. His dam is Old Nelly. Dan wears tight hobbles. His record last season was 2.18X« which he reduced to 8.06&, with some speed to spare.

The two free-for-alls at Fleetwood will be sensational. In the pace Joe Patchen, Star Pointer, Robert J.. Frank Agan and John R. Gentry will probably start. Kentucky Union and Fantasy, who have swept everything before them in their respective classes through the Grand Circuit thus fat, will come together in the open cla&'for trotters, along with Benzetta and Onoqua, and perhaps also William Penn, Huldaai^ Bouncer. On the form of their recent races Kentucky Union and Fantasy appear to be the, leading factors in the contest, the latter having easily defeated Beuxetta and OnequaJfeBuffalo last week, while Kentucky Union took the measure of the great Nebraska four-year-old, Pat L., at Indianapolis in one of the fastest noes of the year, cutting her record down feofcOTtf.

D. A. Snell's two-year-oid colt Jupe ia now the sensation of the hour among New England horsemen. At the Portland meeting last week this youngster trotted the the record heat of his maiden race In 2.17, which is six seconds faster than any other two-year-old record of his year. Jupe* is one of the prises of last winter'^jbetion sales, hte present owner having archaaed the colt for $600 last February at Lexington, Ky. He was hot particularly promising at that time, and It Is said that when Trailer John F. Payna took him east from this city, where h« had his early training this spring, the youngster's best trial waa $.33. He haa improved very rapidly of late, and the turf prophets are already predicting that Artou's longstanding two-year-ofcl mark of 2.10fcf will go the way of all champion reooida before f»0 '.

A curious custoa*- pnawil» in certain parts of India which may be called a symbolical marriage. In families wbe.-e there are several daughters, the younger sisiets may only marry aftCT t"he elder sifter fs married. That,1 of c6uvse, is not alw?ys the case, but the obstacle can easily be stta mounted if the elder sister declares herself: ready to marry some tree or large flower or some other lifeless object. In this w&y the

•disagreenble consequences .of disregarding the time-honored custom may be avbid^j tij^TTKs'ii^sdthe goidT with great .and the yoanger sister can safely be weeded to her living choice. The elder sister must, however, take care not to choose a, poplar tree, an elm tree or a pine if shv chooses a plum, apple or apricot tfwr«ah' may get a divorce—that is to say, shake as soon as a real man will ask forhei haw —while if she maivies, one of the first three named trees she cannot easily shake htr marital honds, for these trees are sacred and must not be trifled with.

The Queen Regent of Holland is a prac-tical-mi aded Germau woman. She has caused her little daughter, Wilhelmina, who will be quaen ftmryears'hence, wh&r she is 20, to be carefully trained and educated. Her play is educational and has trained her to realize the ideal of Dutch women, a good housekeeper. ^Stst Loo, in Gelderland, is Queen Wilhelmina's favorfte home. It is a lovely country estate, not far from Abeldoorn. The house |s a'big old Dutch mansion ou the edge wood, and th^home park isjier yonhg majesty'i* special playground. Here she leairned to ride and ttn drive and to rowv She does all these thinga witfels^tt. has-4S truly royal playground, fo&^ypbrtion of the park is hedged off for ner particular diversions. She has here a miniature farm, which she has learned to supreintend for all the world as if she were destined to be a model Dutch housewife. She gives the produce of this little farm to the poor and to neighboring hospitals. She has a flower garden, which she tends during the residence term at Het Loo. /iuM

The queen of England is very conservative iu her dwss, as well fts in everything which concerns her daily life. Everybody knows how much she thinks of her simple black hat. Only upon special occasions does she exchange this hat for a lighter one, which is adorned with white ostrich tips. There has also been little change in the cloaks of the queen for the past twenty years. The same cloakmakera at Windsor have furnished thesegaVmehts tp the Que^n, for more than twentyi-fivel ye&rs past. At times a number of hej^&baks are sent to this firm, some only for repairs, for the queen is very saving in ther own toilet. For state occasions st&-wears 6ape& or cloaks of very rich blacksiik, while for ordinary use plain bryhdcloth is usually selected by her. x. ... '/j

It is curious to thinX what a short time it is since the empefers-of Russia treated their womankind iflNJMftikme way as they are now treated in TurKey. It is true that in those days the czar chose his wife from among his subjects, a£3'$ie was never considered his equal. On a certain day the (nobles brought their young daughters to be looked at, and she who took the potentate's fancy was forthwith chosen. The princesses were kept with the same strictr &e&s as eastern princesses, and marriage changed their place of residence, but

guests were received, to whom they would hancf a cup of wine, and then retire to their apartments, there being a suite of rooms at the north side of the palqpe reserved esspedally for them. The first csarina who emancipated herself from this state of slavery, and so instituted anew and happier era for Russian women, was the beautiful Nathalie Naryschki, the second wife of Alexis Michaelovitch, and the mother of Peter the Great, and her first triumph was when she obtained her husband's consent to drive with him in an open carriage to the monastery of Troitsky, a proceeding which at that time occasioned a great scandal. Naturally, when the Russian princes began to intermarry with other European royal families, they were obliged to treat their wives differently, hut it was along titae before the cdart of Russia be mine as civilized as the rest of Europe.

One of the most progressive women of the west ia Miss BsteUe Beet* the wmnan superintendent of public tostrdetion for Wyoming, who haa deatsiirti'wiwl by a sacceasfal public political record'that she ia as capable of performing the duties of an executive oAee—after working the voters to get i*—as her jnaki wWBtfcrtpora-

riesia Wyoming public life. Her friends, in the face of her protests, persist in naming her fes a candidate for the next gubernatorial nomination in Wyoming, which jrilt be made in the fall of 1896. It is fortunate for Miss Reel's friends that the domination is not to be made this year, for If it was their candidate wonld be barred by the provision of the Wyoming constitution which declares that no person less than SO years old shall be eligible to the office. The success!ul supreintendent is only 89, but that's a fault time will mend.

Mr. Bryan started west on Wednesday. H^ was Senator Hill's guest at dinner at Albafty an'd the supposition is that^fche •senator will throw his infiuende fofxhe regular Democratic ticket. Mr. Bryan made- speeches at several places a$ he crcissed the state. The biggest demonstration for him was at Buffalo.

Thomas Watson will begin his campaign at Dallas, on labor day, going from ibeie to the northwest and returning to Geo -^'a in time for the early state election there.

He spoke for two hours and a half and devoted all of his time to the money question, fie was argumentative and his points wereeagerly.r^ceiy&dby the friends of free coinage. •-./

The New York Republicans nominated Frank Black, of Troy, foe governor. He was something of a dark-horse. The had been a story demand on T. C. Piatt to make the race, but he refused and left the half dozen candidates to flgat it out among themselver. He is 43 years of age, a native of Maine and was admitted to the bar in 1879. He was elected to congress two years ago.

without first being requested by the state authorities. The Supreme court was denounced by the Chicago convention because It decided against the income tax and Presi- ":J dent Cleveland's act in sending federal troops to Chicago during the 1894 strike was likewise denounced. General Harrison's contention was that if this assault on constitutional government were successful it mattered little whether we have free trade and free silver.

The sidewalk discussion of Che silver question at Indianapolis grew to be such a nuisance about the postoffice coiner that the federal officials called on the police to i.:m disperse the debaters. The police declined ,•••• -jy, because the judge of the police court had mx, rendered a decision in effect that people had ?'fc aright to congi«gate on public highways and enjoy the privilege off ree speech. The other day water was thrown on the crowd from an tipper window of the federal bttildlog. United States Marbhal Hawkins addressed the crowd and as ted it to ..?: disperse saying that it was obstruct!t?g the transaction of Uncle Sam's business. It is said the campaign committees of both parties have employed men, ready speakers,. to engage in these curbstone discussions,

At the convention, or confexenoe, of-.-sound money Democrats of this, the Fifth, district held at Danville, Wednesday, repre- y.tp sentatives were present from each of the*:•«*• seven counties in the district. The repre-' sentatives from here were H. A. Urban, of the Tool works, ex-councilman Patrick G, Hogan, of the C. L. Braman Co. Daniel Reagan, of the Blair-Failey, heading fac toryand Frank A. Skelton, of tbeVand«l^ offices. Mr. Hogan with E. R. Hamiltou,\

of Morgan county were selected as the two.®" delegates to the national convention at In-, dianapolis next week. Mr. Reagan with T. S. Moore, of Hendricks county are the alternates. John Scofleld, of Clay county is to be the elector for this district. Thomas Carroll, of Morgan and H. A. Urban, of this city are to be the representatives of the district on the state oommittee. The" Danville convention adopted resolutions adhering to the present monetary standard ,3 and endorsing the administration of Presl-. .dent Cleveland. S

The national convention of the sound money Democrats will be held in Indian- '^1 a is W a It is there will be a large attendance( but there is difficulty in getting anyone to take the .nomination for president. Five names 1: only are considered in connection with the Presidential nomination, those of Henry Watterson, William F. Vilas, General E. S. Bragg, Senator Pal mer and Mr. Bynum. Mr. Carlisle, Mr. Wilson and Mr. Morton, of President Cleveland's Cabinet, have all been talked of more or less, but all tiurwp have given their friends to understand that while they are In thorough and hearty sympathy with the movement, they do not believe that it would be right for tbem to accept a nomination at the hands of the convention. Bourke Cockran will not be present because he believes the proper thing to do is to endorse the MeKinley electors. Ex-Governor Flower will probably be temporary chairman. Ex-Gov. Buckner, of Kentucky, is the only one talked of for vice-president/.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

When flavoring has been forgotten In a pudding or cake the fault may be remidied by rubbing the desired extract over the outside of the cake as.s^on as it is taken from the oven.

When polishing mirrors, windows, or picture glass with whitening, the beet way to use it is to have it in muslin bags. Dampen the glass lightly, then rub with $ the bag and polish off with crumpled newspaper. 't* HfF 'i'

Stained borders of floors will require doing over once a year if worn places are not to become noticeable. The stain and varnish may be bought and applied at once. The latter is, of course, the readiest method, but the former is perhaps the more lasting.

Put a little turpentine into the tepid water in which the delicate colored stockings used with evening dresses are washed for the first time. It will prevent the colors from fading, and if the hose are allowed to soak a few hours in the water it will be better.

An excellent substitute for potatoes at a dinner is rice cooked in milk and well salted, put into a dish and browned in the oven. Make a hot lemon sauce and pourover the rice when it is taken from the1 oven and just before the dish is sent to the table.

To keep the varnished wood of furniture looking fresh and bright it should be rubted .thoroughly with oil from time to tfme. Only a little oil should be used, and that carefully rubbed in with a flannel until it seems to have all gone otherwise it will catch the dust and the wood will look worse than if it had been left alone.
