MAN ABOUT TOWN.

During the past two months there has been hauled to the crematory enough vegetables and fruit which was fit to eat to have fed all the poor of Terre Haute. As a matter of fact a large part of it has been given to the poor. The man in charge of the Crematory may truthfully say that during the two months he has led all the charity societies of the city in feeding the poor. The grocery houses ifend to be cremated wagon loads of food which is not spoiled but has fallen below the standard of fresh'

With vegetables and fruit very cheap ne: It did not pay the grocer to keep on hand stock which while it was not spoiled in the slightest degree had lost its freshness. For instance while corn was costing the grocer less than two cents a dozen one lot of two ^vagon loads was sent to the crematory [/which never felt the consuming heat of the furnace. The grocers say they do not like to give it away, because It would start the beggars to besieging their stores at all hours. This suggests that there is afield for charity societies In gathering this food from the groceries and establishing a distributing house. Some time ago a large quantity of dessicated codfish was brought to the crematory. The wrapping had become defective the codfish was as good as it ever was. Objection was raised because tthe crematory man would not burn it

After be had explained that it would be given to people who would never buy cents worth of codfish in the stores and thereby no trade would be lost by giving it awRy he was permitted to give it away. People from other localities than along the river front go to the crematory for food and to nearly all of them it is a god-send.

William E. Curtis writing from New York City in regard to the trouble Mr. Hnnnaia having in raising campaign funds In that part of the country says the people /there believe the election has been won I that they know only the sentiment in the

East aud with that peculiar provincialism of New York cannot understand that there can be any different sentiment anywhere, They know nothing of the people west of t^ie Allegheny mountains. A short time Ago an agent of aNew York paper was in the city to establish local agencies for the sale of the paper. He called on the news dealers and told them that there ought to 1 be hundreds of copies sold every day that the people would be glad of the opportun ity to buy aNew York paper. One dealer told him that the people of Terre Haute bought either Chicago, St. Louis or Cincinnati papers whereupon he said that these papers are not to be compared with aNew

York paper and that the man in Terre Haute buying aNew York paper the second day after publication would be getting the news earlier than in a Chicago paper. And his anger arose when the dealer told him that the Chicago papers were as good as New York papers. His whole conversation proceeded on the supposition that the Terre Haute people had been living a benighted life so far as newspapers were concerned. As a matter of fact tin# Chicago newspapers handle much more general news than do the New York papers. The New York papers are filled with the news of the surrounding three or four hundred miles aud the New Yorkers do not care to know anything except what goes on in this erritory. The chances are that either one of the several morning papers of Chicago pays the telegraph companies for special dispatches as much as any three New York papers together.

The annual meeting of the Northwest Indiana conference, to be held here next week, will be the forty-fifth anniversary of the first meeting of this conference, which was held in old Asbury church in 1S5& Of the eighty-one ministers present at that conference only six are now alive. These

John L. Smith of Valparaiso. Previous to 1853 there had been two conferences in the state, one known as the Indiana conference and the other as the northern confereo-r. The growth of the population along the line of the Wabash canal and the upper Wabash made it necessary to create another conferericw And the \North west Indiana confetvuce held its first meeting in this city, as said above, in 18SS. One of the questions to come before the conference is the ratifies cation of the action of the general conference in favor of admitting women to the I

general conference. It is understood that the conference will be practically unanimon* in favor of the proposition. It is anderstood that there would hare been no doubt of the change years ago if it had not been for the opposition of the German Methodists. It require* a three-fourt rot* of all the membership of the conferences to ratlsfy the acH^n of the general conference.

An effort is being made by some of the members of the McKinley club to arrange an excursion to Canton, to call on Major McKinley. The Central Passenger association has decided to make excursion rates to parties of forty or more desiring to visit Canton, and according to this arrangement parties of that size can secure around trip rate of $5 from Terre Haute. Such parties must all travel together to secure such a

Fine* In Athena.

I" The income of Athens from fines appears to have been considerable and to have constituted a singular and permanent feature of the fiscal policy of the state. The method of assessment may be best illustrated hy examples. Thus if duly authorized officii]* did not hold certain assemblages, according to rule, or properly conduct the appointed business they each had to pay 1,000 drachmas ($200). If an orator oonducted himself indecorously in a public assem bly, he could be fined 60 drachmas ($10) for each offense, which might be raised to a higher sum at the pleasure of the people. A woman conducting herself improperly in the streets paid a similar penalty. If a woman wept to Eleusis in a carriage, she subjected herself to a fine of a talent (f 1,180).

In the case of wealthy or notable persons fines for omissions or commissions in respect to conduct were made much greater, and so more productive of revenue, and there were very few notable or wealthy citizens of Athens who, under the rale of demagogues and through specious aocoaatians of offenses against the state or the gota, escaped the pay meat erf heavy fines, the experiences of Milttades, TCiemistocles, Aristides, Demosthenes, Pericles, Oleon and' Tijnotheus being oases in point. Every person who failed to pay a fine owing to the state was reckoned as a public debtor and was subject to imprisonment and a practical denial of citizenship, Miltiades, the viotor at Marathon, for example, having been oast into prison (whereTie afterward died) through an inability to pay a fins asaasnod against him of 60 talents.—Appleton's Science Monthly.

Ffcdi About Pood.

It has never been scientifically demonstrated that fish and other phosphoric foods can appreciably improve the brain and mind. Fishermen, for example, and fishmongers, who may be supposed to live largely upon fish, have never shown themselves to bo in any measurable degree more intellectual than their neighbors. Indeed it may be plausibly argued that they area little less so. The truth is that that particular food which best agrees with the partic ir individual and which best mainti is his general health at a high level $ the best for the brain nnd every other organ of the body, as well as for the whole man. Common experience has long ago formulated tho saying that "what is one man's meat is another man's poison." Science now comes forward to tell ns exactly the same thing and to impress upon every one of us the necessity of finding out the diet best suited to ourselves and sticking to it—London Hospital.

The Origin of a Fad.

A young artist whose tendency toward open air effects was so strong that he always wore his shirt open at the neck had painted a landscape that, for fidelity to nature, was almost as good as a photograph.

It was a thing any one oould admire, whioh proved its great commercial value.

Unfortunately, as the artist turned to wipe his brushes, an aged cow, dissatisfied with her faithful representation in the Picture, swished her tail across the c&i.^

utterly commingling the colors. The artist wts about to commit suicide when a friend approached him.

Gazing at the canvas, the latter opened wide his eyes. Then he placed his hand solemnly on the artist's Bhoulder. "My boy," he said, "it's the hit of youi life."

The friend was a heavy advertiser, and thus the poster came into being.— New York Journal.

Beds Scarce In Roaala.

Beds are quite an innovation in Russia, and many well to do houses are still unprovided with them. Peasants sleep on the top of their ovens. Middle class people and servants roll themselves up in the sheepskins and lie down near the stoves. Soldiers rest upon wooden oota without bedding, and it is only within the last few years that students in schools have been allowed beds.

The first regular silver coinage to be passed out in the order of business was in October, 1792.

An KxtrmordlnMT Woman. Dr. Abernethy, the famons Sootch surgeon, was a man of few words, but once he met his match—in a woman. She called at his office in Edinburgh one day and showed a hand, badly in flamed and swollen, when the following dialogue, opened by the doctor, took place: "Burn?" "Bruise." "Poultice."

The next day the woman called again, and the dialogue was as follows: "Better?"

Worse."

"More poultice." Two days later the woman made other call, and this conversation enrred: "Better?" & "Well. Fee?" "Nothing," exclaimed the doctor. "Most sensible woman I ever met New York Mail and Express.

Life of a Loeomattn."

Some careful experiments rtiioh have been made in England prove that the life of a locomotive is about 600,000 train miles—in other words, that a locomotive of tho latest approved pattern will run 500,000 miles before wearing out so as to be useless. In making this run of a half million miles the firebox will have to be renewed three times, the wheel tires five or six times and the crank axles from three to five times.

Something Mew.

Finkbiner & Duenweg will place on exhibition Saturday evening Sept. 5th, cooking utensils that will interest every housekeeper in the city of Terre Haute. It is some porcelain-lined steel ware, made in Germany, to the special order of Finkbiner & Duenweg, who have the distinction of being the only house in the state of Indiana handling this ware at thepresent time. The order was placed with the manufacturers' in Germany in March last, and the goods passed through the custom house last week on their way to Terre Haute. The line includes every kind of vessel used for domestic purposes, coffee pots, tea pots, stew pans, dippers, etc. The immense advantage offered by these goods is that the vessels made from this steel will not rust, whereas the ordinary granite ware, as every housekeeper knows, will rust with constant use. These goods are guaranteed for five years and the housekeeper who invests in them will certainly reap an advantage from their use. Ladies who have had their trouble with poor pooking utensils should make it a point to examine these porcelain-lined steel goods, guaranteed for five years by the manufacturers. They are handsome in appearance and style, and while slightly higher in price than the ordinary granite ware, they are cheap when taken into consideration that every piece sold is offered under a positive guarantee of five years. This guarantee is made by the manufacturers, and when backed by such a reliable firm as Finkbiner & Duenweg, it means that the guarantee will be upheld to the letter.

Be Convinced.

On receipt of ten cents, cash or stamps generous sample will be mailed of the most popular Catarrh and Hay Fever Cure (Ely's Cream Balm) sufficient to demonstrate its great merit. Full size 50c.

A Letter from Mr. T. J. Griffith.

My Boston trip was not altogether for pleasure, yet I feel now that I am fully repaid, as I realized to its fullest extent the importance of prompt payment during my term of years in the boot and shoe business. I finished my twenty-eighth year the 12th of this month. During that time I have bought "many thousand dollars' worth of boots, shoes, slippers, rubbers, etc., and have the first time yet to fail in my payments. Always paid one hundred cents to the dollar. With this record I jnet the manufacturer (they know the tricks and standing of all our merchants) who appreciated me, and gave me as.a reward prices which surprised me, and make me think of ^ow glad my old- patrons will be when these goods are opened for their inspection.' They cannot get them made and delivered to me before Seytember 1, but in the meantime I will reduce my present elegant stock to a figure correspondingly low. On my extreme summer goods I have the price cut very low. To itemize my ready bargains would cost too much so will await your call and if cash ever counted you will realize it. Come and see.
