The lady of the home was dumbfounded 'hen the servant brought word that Mrs. .'^Tank, the next door neighbor wanted to jorrow her chemise, (pronounced "shimmy") pattern. The next door woman had it for a copy of Chimmie Fadden.
Malarial fevers, colds and all the rheu inatic and neuralgic pains tnat flesh is heir to are the sequences of the wet weather and the recent cool snap. There is, too, some typhoid fever. The druggists are supplying an unprecedented demand for quinine.
,) Bishop Andrews, of New York, who has *een presiding at the Methodist conference iere this week is an e$act double for Sentor George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, as appeared some years ago. Even the .ifiovement of the lips in talking is exactly like the senator and that is a Temarkable likeness. Many writers of pen pictures of the Massachusetts man were at a loss to *1 escribe the singular and irregular lip novement which exhibited his beautiful ,..«eth in sections with the utterance of his words. Gath once said his lips moved in a sort of a waving or circular manner and reminded him of the tracing of a boy's finger in bread dough. The bishop has the ideal benignant, good-will expression but he

In reporting their collections for the

some of the Methodists ministers in tie conference would refer to a fund as ir "superanuates" but others used the colloquial term, "worn out ministers." he Methodist church enters into a contract with an applicant for the ministry to care for him the remainder of his life nil after he has become unable to perform ctive ministerial duties he is placed on the superanuated list. This week the con^rence took a step looking toward a higher jfatulard of admission. There were more pplicants than there were places for them, old "brother" told Man About Town that the church is beginning to feel that it ought to be more exacting and discrimin itiug in making the bargain. He did not mean to say that anyone would enter the ministry merely for the opportunity to get a living which did uot offer itself outside bu/ the temptation to get into the miuisrjf was strong with young oollege men ud the church would be wise in investigating the applicants as the fixedness of purpose as well as theological and iutelectual qualifications.
Bishop Andrews delivered an address to t|N young preachers who were received

They were •pposed to the Bryan platform before it was adopted and tried to defeat it and no doubt the governor is right when he concluded that there is not a sincere wish on their part to secure the election of Bryan. In this connection it is pertinent to tell a :true »Soty. After the Chicago convention had adopted the platform some of the sound money Democratic leaders from iQiana who did not want to bolt the

The party machinery is in the ham* of the specie resumption i.tment of the party. "We kept hold of 'e party organisation," said Russell* mi Butler was defeated one hundred 1 ausjuwl votes. Now yon can draw your AMI inferences." The Indiana sound inejr men returned from Chicago and tl*u free coinage people wanted Holt a the remainder oft hem to let go of the ichine they refused to do m. It seems
At the governor has succeeded In driving «m away. The sound money Democrat* mi other states ami the original thlri advocate, the Chicago Chronicle, -ted prior to the Palmer-Buckner conut MI that the Indiana gold Democrats ald not consckmUoosly ask gold Demoaf* from other states to help Indiana out holding the convention at Indianapolis ^hey did not put up a state ticket But a« Holt-Wilson influence prevented the
nomination of a state ticket. The suspicion has been growing that the Massachusetts plan was to operate as to Bryan, but the state ticket was to be protected. If Bryan should ran behind in Indiana and yet be elected Governor Matthews would not stand knee high in the administration. He would be held responsible, however little he may have had to do with the management of the campaign. With the insincere advocates of Bryan's election removed from command and Bryan elected great would be Matthews in the Bryan administration. Defeat in either case would be bad for the goVeraor, and s6 he had everything to lose and nothing to gain by permitting the sound money Democrats to continue in control of the party organization. The effects of the change in the state committee on the campaign are yet to be seen. One thing is sure, the Holt regime had not done much. It is not a case of sidetracking a train that was under full headway pfSf .-J.
Some weeks ago it was predicted that before October curbstone debates would not continue more than ten minutes when fists would supersede tongues in the con troversy. We are at that stage now.

It may be well for some of the critics of the A. R. U. circular, to bear in mind that last winter the chiefs and grandmasters of the brotherhoods asked congress to pass a law against government by injunction and represented that unless the courts were checked in this tendency the railway labor organizations would be powerless to protect their members. The senate passed the bill and so the brotherhoods and not the A. R. U. first instilled into the minds of railroad men that government by injunction, which critics of Debs are upholding, would be fatal to organized labor.
Contributed. THE SKELETON'S MESSAGE."
MRS. ELLIOTT'S BOOK REVIEWED. The principle laid down by the great toaclier that a prophet Is without honor in his own country has been, alas! verified, but happily there are notable examples tt show that the old custom of rejecting native genius Is losing favor, and we are learning to cherish and appreciate talent at home.
The occasion for this reflection is the appearance within the past fortnight of a volume of poems from the pen of a well known resident of Terre Haute, Mrs. N. K. Elliott. Tbo recent announcement from the Inland Publishing Company of the forthcoming volume created considerable Interest among Mrs. Elliott's friends who are familiar with her occasional contributions to the home papers. Now that the book is out the critics must have their say.
The author's literary creed, touching poetry, Is tersoly expressed in her Introductory note:—
From tho period when poetry was the blossom and flower of our literature we have passed to an era of matured fruit. By and by wo may have only the dry husks. Then, perhaps, we shall be glad to return to the fresher, primeval gardens, or we may elect to tread the barren and rocky expanse of posltlveness In literature. But whatever the tendency of our literary movement, the fact Is distinctly recognized that the present is essentially a prose age."
Nevertheless the volume ventures under the name of The Skeleton's Message." This title-poem is a wlerd fancy of unsatisfied ambition, and carries tho reader beyond the sphere of tangibility.
"All day my mind had dwelt on ancleut men the bravo to (fare."
and
"Some wore the garb of Egypt's race, some that of olden Romo,"
and
From Jungle's deepen Africa, where Nile's headwaters roll,"
are rugged lines harmonizing well with the spirit of the poem.
"A lofty wish left unfulfilled, that craveth still some good, Will shadow aye the eternal years—escape how'er ye would,"
expresses the moral of the poem. The conception Is well wrought out and strikingly original. 80 far as the general character of subjects and their treatment Is concerned the title Is no index for though the Imaginative quality runs through the whole collection and is one of the strongest characterlstlcs. yot no other poem In the book is so marked with mysticism as The Skeleton's Message."
The table of contents offers quite a variety of subject. One of the longer poem's, "God's Poor." has all the pathos and the fervent piety of "Cotter's Saturday Night." while
My Heart's lu tho Mountains," prefaced with a couplet from Burns, is quite after the Scotch Highlander's style. Music" shows a keen and sympathetic appreciation of the Influence which that art exercises in human 1'fe—
You heighten the good In us—smother the & and bring us en rapport with what is divine." The best work appears In the shorter poems, several of which are gems, "Alone,"
A Riddle." "One of the Lost," and "A Parable" are touches of pathos and simple beauty that must appeal to e\ ery reader, and so far as the present writer knows, literature has nowhere anything of the kind to surpass them. "Lake Autumn." ""Hyacinths." "Marshall Pass," "Chrysanthemums." "Beautiful Rose," etc., express a deep love of nature and close sympathy with her varying 1 kls.
The sent ut in the poems is usually clear, hut occasionally, as In "The Poet's Reason" there is something enlgi« .1: i«id one must read with care to find tuc ihuu^bt. The prevailing style may be called minted and vigorous rather than smooth. Bm* ue Atigio-«*a.Ton appears preferable to the classical. There numerous instances where rhyiue has somewhat marred the expression and burdened the line, and Is an evidect chafing under the con* :iilonaiUy of meter. The critic suspects that blank verse a or on a a an the genius of true poetry. :h Is ly here, free from the arbitrary laws of rhyme.
Kven in a manifest effort to coi.' •?:i. those laws and to the requirement* u: ii.ot.-r there are ow,t*looal examples of lawlessm-**. such as Mr. Lowell cii! "1 Still,Mr. Lowell bltttseU w\.stain from such faults. Tu« .v ar n-:n tefect# that must ap »-.r 1! ut itdenl whin cor*—urted with the 1*5*1 nt-rt of the poems.

perhaps, and yet the summing up of existence. The poems reflect here sunshine, there shadow there are bright pictures and dark ones there is mirth, there is woe and so after all they are true to life.
The mechanical features are all that could be asked—a bright binding, fine paper and excellent typography. We need no longer leave Terre Haute for a good piece of work in the art of book-making.
The Best Deteetlvea.
A Frenchman naturally thinks the Parisian detectives the best. Englishmen swear by the shrewdness of Scotland Yard men, and Americans, of course, swear Tay flie New York detectives. After three years' residence in China (says a traveler), I do not think either of tho three bodies is entitled to the credit given it .The CWneae beat them alL ..
They are at one time the most expert thieves and at another the most skilled detectives in the world. A Chinaman can steal your watch while you are looking at it, and he can catch the man who stole it, if it happens to be some other man than himself, when a French detective conld not.
I have seen evidenoes of detective ability among the Chinese which wonld startle even Lecocq. It is impossible f&r an evildoer to long elnd% the Chines detectives. They scent a crime and follow it to the last before civilized detectives wonld know of it
The Chinese detective force is a secret body, and the best organized in the world. They have an eye upon every man, woman and child, foreign or native, in China, and in addition watch over each other.
Informers are encouraged, and collusion is impossible. The head of the Chinese police is not known, but there is one, and a very active one too. I have heard that the present head was once an ambassador to a European conntry, bnt really I do not believe that any one knows who he is. There are said to be over 60,000 men under him and his assistants who control the various districts.—Pearson's Weekly.

A man was accused of havihg' stolen a pair of trousers. There were several witnesses, but the evidence was rather meager, and so the accused was acquitted. He was iold that he could go. but he remained. His lawyer, to ^3se successful defense he mainly owed his liberty, hinted to him again that he was free to depart, but still he staid.
There being no more cases to be heard the court was getting empty, when the lawyer, growing impatient, asked, with some asperity, why he didn't go. The injured, innocent man whispered in his ear: "The fact is, sir, I did not like to xnove till the witnesses had..' left &L rnnrt I.UUX I'. "Why so?" "Because, sir, I have got on the trousers that I stola "—London Tit-Bits.
Sandow Got Mad.
Sandow, the strong man, tells how once, on a holiday in Paris, he went with an old school friend into a billiard room, where 6ome Frenchmen tried (o fasten a quarrel oi#him because he was a German. The Parisian went so far ns to slap him repeatedly in the face. Newfoundlandlike, he let the terrier snarl until he tried to bite, when at last he lost his temper. He took the man by the collar and the trousers near the knee. Then, holding him up, to the astonishment of the gallery, he knockcd his assailant's knees into his teeth till he was nearly senseless. The Frenchman was taken to a hospital, while Sandow was walked off to a cell. But there were so many witnesses to the provocation that Sandow got off. The Frenchman himsolf was so astonished that when he recovered he sought Sandow's friendship and presented to him a magnificent watch, which he still possesses.

"Hello! Is this yonr bank?" said Dinwiddie to Van Braam, who was making out a deposit slip at a desk in a Fifth avenue banking establishment. "No," replied Van Braam. "This isn't my bank."
Dinwiddie seemed surprised, for be could see Van Braam's bankbook, with several checks and some money, when the latter added: "No, it is net iby bank. I wish it were. I am merely a depositor here. Pittsburg Chronicle.
