ON THE QUI VIVE.

The difficulty in estimating crowds was [ever better illustrated than in the differnt figures given out showing the crowds that heard Mr. Bryan at the court house the other night. The numbers are given dut at figures ranging variously from 5,000 to 47,642, the latter being the Gazette estimate of those who heard the speech there. There was a big crowd at the court house, iw any fair minded person will admit, whether he agrees with Mr. Bryan or not. As a matter of fact, a great many persons who heard him Thursday night do not agree with him. But a few figures will show how foolish it is to claim that 47,000 persons could be gathered together in the 9pace occupied by the crowd the other night. Third street is eighty feet wide, and from the north property line of Ohio street to the south property line of Main street, is three hundred feet. The eighty feet, mind you, includes every inch of clpace between the business buildings on the east side of Third street to the stone wall on the west side. A width of eighty feet, and a length of three hundred gives a space equal to 24,000 spare feet. In everj square foot thereara 144 square inches, and the total square inches in this space equals 8,456,000. In military computations a man is figured on being 22 inches wide and 12 inches thick, that is from back to breast, equal to 264 square inches. If every square inch of space between the lines named had been occupied Thursday night, only 13,090 p-jrsons could have been crowded in there counting every inch of space as being used. Any person can discover this by dividing il,456,000 by 264. If a space eighty feet wide, extending from the stone fence of the court house yard west, added to the estimate for Third street, had been packed from Main street south to Ohio to such un extent that there would have been no waste of space, but 26,180 persons could have Ixien crowded into it. In all the estimates that have been published the space occupied by one person has been given as two square feet, 288 .square inches, or twentytwo more than figured on here. If 26,180 persons had hoard Mr. Bryan speak at the court house Thursday night, they would have been packed in like sardines in a box from the business buildings on the east side of Third street to a point eighty feet west of the east line of the court house square, and from Ohio street to Main. Any person who saw the crowd there will admit that they were not crowded in like Chat. T^vit the estimate given out that but ''five thousand persons were gathered there is equally at fault. Q. V. believes that there were gathered within the space named from 10.000 to 20,000 persons, probably nearer the latter figure than the former. It doesn't pay to belittle the efforts of an adversary, nor does it pay to accept their own figures on a demonstration like that of Thursday.

Mr. Bryan is an "actorial" looking gentleman, with a physique to be admired, and a constitution like iron. No other than a man with such a constitution could staud up under the work he has undertaken, and let it be said to his credit that if bo should be lucky enough to be elected president of this great republic next month, he has no other peroou than himself to thank for it. If he can get there, good luck to him and the country of which he will be the president. If he is beaten no man will ever have dropped so completely /and thoroughly into obscurity as will this young Lochinvar come out of the west, no •natter if he is hailed by some as the second

Christ, and another Abraham Lincoln.

From this time on party lines will be (closely drawn except among those who have changed their party politics in the present campaign. There have been evidences that it was coming on, and the wheelmen's parade Tuesday night, the Elliott parade Wednesday night, and the Bryan parade Thursday night hare drawn the lines tolerably tight-—except, as said before, among those who have changed their party views. There were more fights to the square inch on Main street Bryan bight than were ever before corralled or tea off during any previous political fc pamJh'. Many of these difficulties were 'the «s*ult of ill-advised action on the part

Of (Jose who were not interested in the fclepnon&t ration of the evening. It is fair j"«6ough to allow the Democrats to have Tt heir day when it is their day, and it is equally fair to allow the Republicans to have theirs when it is their turn. Nothing pays so well as toting fair, and from 'this time on it will pay every man to give as little attention as possible to the slighting things that are said by those on the opposite side.

John R, (Sentry, who is undoubtedly the 'astest horse that ever set foot on a race nek, didn't bring to Terre Haute this I'week the distinction she longed for, that of [having the fastest harness horse record sever made. There was only a fair crowd tio witnww the effort at the fair grounds on [Tuesday, and those who went were terri »ly disappointed that the record was not broken. The time for the exhibition mile .was which to the average Terre lautean who goes to see races, Is about as ilow as 3:80 ©nee was* The business men \»i* to be commended for the interest they fh/Kk in the day, the majority of them ctostheir door* to allow their employes* to urther the good cause. The alModuce tnder the circumstances was not large 'enough to justify the opinion that a popular price of admission would materially increase the attendance at the race m«t*

The little owes are taking as much inter in this campaign as their elders, and in

fact they go further in their feelings than the fathers. An instance related this week shows this to be a fact. A little fellow living on south Fifth street, whose father is a well known .Democrat, complained to his mother this week that he didn't want to be for Bryan any more. When pressed for a reason he said that all the boys in his neighborhood were for McKinley, and they wouldn't let him play with them because he was for Bryan.

The council adjourned Tuesday night without opening the bids for the improvement of Ohio street, and that thoroughfare will not be asphalted this fall. The work of improving north Fifth street has been postponed nntil next spring, and as the bids for Ohio street have not been opened it is safe to say that nothing will be done until the opening oj spring. If ever there was a principal street in a large city that needed some permanent improvement that street is Ohio, and the delay in beginning the work will not be pleasing to some who have moved in in the eflort for the improvement.

LITERARY NOTES.

Mrs. Oliphant, who has been written 78 novels, never writes in daytime. Oscar Wilde's physique has very much ru down. His term of imprisonment has only six months more to run. Upon his liberation his wife will join him.

One of the most popular writers of modern society novels among German authors is the woman who styles herself "E. Werimr." Her real name is Elizabeth Burstcn biner. She resides in Berlin.

Who wonders that everyone with an atom of talent is trying his hand at literature? Rudyard Kipling received 112,000 for the series right to "Captain Courageous," beside $15,000 cash in advance on account of royalties for its sale in book form.

The stories in McCIure's for November will comprise, in addition to the first installment of the Kipling serial, two dialogues by Anthony Hope a true story of railroading in the Rocky mountains in winter, by Cy Warman a romantic story of a diamond robbery and a Thanksgiving love story.

A notable feature of the November Mc Clure's will be the interesting story of the introduction and development of the daguerreotype in America, illustrated with beautiful original daguerrotype portraits of Webster, Edward Everett, Jenny Lind, anl others, from the rare collections of Peter Gilsey of New York and Josiah J. Hawes of Boston.

Madame Calve and Madame Mel^a will both appear in the next issue of the ladies' Home Journal with articles on the voice. ularae Melba has written before and is, in fact, no novice with the pen, but this is Madame Calve's first attempt at authorship. She wrote the article in French, and after an English translation had been made of it she had the original manuscript bound between morocco covers as a souvenir of her debut as a writer.

Tae November Arena contains a paper by Mrs. Mary M. Harrison, who has for years made a study of child life, on "Children's Sense of Fear," which will be of especial interest to those engaged in training the young. Now that child psychology is being made distinct study, it is to be hoped that the baleful and pernicious oldtime custom of filling the minds of little innocent children with frightful pictures, so largely resorted to hitherto as a factor in their moral training, will be relegated to the barbarities of the past.

OBITUARY.

Mud is the newest skin beautifier, the latest fad for the improvement of the com plexion. Just commom, every-day, unroniantic, dirty mud. The use and application of this remedy is one of the wrinkles which the summer girl has brought back to town with her from the place of her summer sojourn. Not a new thing, by any means, this daubing of the face and throat with dampened earth, but new to a great many people, and especially new to the city districts. In the country, far from towns and drag stores, its use has been general and effective for many years: but just as soon as the city commences to creep out to and encroach upon the rurality of a place, nature's remedies are given th' ~o-by, and people fly to drugs and "store ctifediciries" for the aid which the worjd»$rou£d thpm has been wont to-supply^

And so it4jj,3vith mud. Intheearlydays of the Western States, when doctors and complexion beautifiers were alike unknown, mud was highly valued by the women of the couutry. The feminine sex delight in fair skins and white hands, even if there is no one in ail the township to see them, and the early settlers borrowed the mud idea from the Indians, who valued it for its medicinal effect.

The mud treatment costs nothing and is far more helpful than a series of Turkish baths. The principle is precisely that of the facial masks, both of ancient Roman times and of the present day, and the mudwashing maiden will be as fair as a lily all fall.

A young man in Kansas, after "keeping company" with the girl of his choice, managed one evening to summon up the courage necessary to pop the momentous question. He was somewhat disappointed at not receiving an immediate and glad acceptance, for he had been led to believe from the young woman's actions that his attentions were not unwelcome to her. Instead she replied that she would notify him by mail. After spending a week in suspense he received a letter from her, 8,000 words in length. In it she explained her position on the tobacco question, stated what she had always advocated as the best kind of baking powder, told him that it was with a feeling of deep gratification that she accepted the honor he had done her and hoped that she would always faithfully preserve the traditions of good house-keep-ing, etc. He was nearly dead with exhaustion when he read the postscript, which read: "You are so full of politics I thought it might please yon to be accepted like the candidates accept their presidential nominations.

Not many persons can do a dozen different things in one day, and do them all equally well, or, indeed, do any of them well. And yet the average housekeeper has a dozen—oh, more.' a score or a hundred duties of radically different natures, and if she fails in one, she fails short of the requirements of society and her family. Mrs. De Jarnette well expressed this idea before the San Jose Institute when she said: "If a man goes into business, does he assume the duties of head clerk, bookkeeper, cash boy, collector and janitor And if he could do so—which he cannot and would not even consider—would he look his best, act most agreeable, keep a perpetual smile and have his plaoe of business spotless Let ns look at woman. She enters business—marriage—does she assume duties of head housekeeper, cook, seamstress, laundress, nurse, tutor and outside man} And when she does—for she usually does—can she keep her house clean, her temper serene, buttons sewed on, remove all thoughts of care from her husband's heart, keep her prettiest clothe* on and scented with violet and lavender, her sweetest smile on and her mouth puckered up for a kiss—for they only come when least expected, for when we yearn for them we usually keep on yearning? No! of courseshe can't could the angels themselves? She can't ran all the special departments of a complex marriage with a menagerie of childhood annex, and a husband to come home when twilight falls to claim every iota of reserve vitality left

I tell you she will either have to call in some specialist demi-semi-occasionally or else have more simple food, do away with kicbln fads, let the husband help with the little ones ^nd feel a burden of responsibility."

The idea of utilizing the sun's rays to dye the human hair is a novel one, yet it has become all the fashion in some of the eastern fashionable circles. The discovery that such^a thing was possible was made by a typical "summer girl" during the last season. Having been affected by nature with raven tresses, which were then out of style in the set in which she moved, she applied to a fashionable physician for relief. He recommended bright sunshine and attentate the best means of making the hair light colored, healthy and strong. The young person for whom this prescription was given found it very efficacious.

The end of the resort season has by no means caused a subsidence of the fad. Never before were there in New York so many young women whose golden hair hangs down their backs once every day that is, every sunshiny day. A queer fact too is that the idea, simple as it is, seems to have the result of producing the desired effect. It is certainly a much more harm less way of bleaching the hair than that which requires the use of chemicals. "It seems to be a very intelligent idea.'* vid a physician, when questioned regard ing it. "All sailors will tell you how rapidly the hair grows when on board ship in the tropics. I have had some opportunity to observe the color, or rather the average color, of sailors' hair, I have found that the fair-haired mariners outnumbered theif dark haired shipmates by two or three to one. I suppose the sun has something of a bleaching power, as well as forcing the growth of the hair, by causing an increased circulation of its 'sap.' In this regard it stands to reason that each individual hair must be somewhat like a plaoj, in its nature."

Statistical tables yield curious information to the careful student. For instance, they show that over one-third of the women who kill themselves are not yet 25 years of age. They show that women take poison, where men shoot themselves, and they show that the poor, sick and the infirm are not by any kindof reckoning in the majority A physician who makes a study of attempted suicide sai(fthiB:4 "Get girl paksVfcTj ftnclahfe'll go through ovaaty, Bi6kj!%rea'ftn3 desertion and misery ei

to

suffer the more they cling to ljife. I've seen it in hospitals. It is not the patients with the incurable diseases or the hopeless cripples who beg to die, but the young, strong, vital woman, who hates pain and doesn't want to suffer it, even for the chance of getting well. It is a strange thing, this getting of a girl past 25, but not uncommon. Any physician with a large family practice will tell you of a dozen cases in his own circle of knowledge. Sometimes it is called pyromania, sometimes kleptomania, sometimes catalepsy, sometimes hysteria, sometimes feigning and sometimes tantrums—it's all the same thing—nothing else to do." Another physician told of a girl who committed suicide, and who left a note stating that her reason was that She was tired of doing the same thing over and over every day. The monotony of life had become unbearable to her.

Natural curling hair is one of the greatest ornaments a woman can have. It is true that invention has reached such a pitch of perfection that nowadays it is impossible to detect the real from the artificial waves, but still everyone will agree that there is a certain amount of satisfaction in doing without the irons and the curling pins, no matter if the effect may be the same or not. Young mothers' may be glad to know that a baby's hair may often be encouraged to curl naturally if it is brushed upward or twisted around the finger while it is wet. Brushing downward rather encourages a child's hair to grow straight. The upward brushing is not becoming for the time, and this is no doubt the reason that so few care to persevere with the idea, but it well repays one afterward. Of course, it is not every head of hair that responds to the treatment, but in many cases it has been successful. Soft soap is a very good thing with which to wash the children's hair, but remember it froths a great deal and very little will suffice. If you use too much you will find a difficulty in rinsing it but thoroughly. In order to keep the hair bright and clean you must pay particular attention to your brushes and combs, as well as to the hair itself. See that they are always clean, and if possible have two brushes always in use.

Care of the Eyes.

Avoid "sqninting." Shade the eyes from the full glare of sunlight.

When the eyes are weak, sleep all that is possible. Keep soap and all patent eye-washes out of the eyes.

Never read nor use the eyes tor fine work during twilight** Never expose the eyes needlessly to dust or flying particles of any kind.

Have an abundance of good, steady light for any work you may have on hand. Let the light come to your eyes from one side or from above, not from in front.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

The princes of Wales has now hvld her title over 23 years, a period which his been exceeded by only one of her predecessors, Augusta, the daughter of Qeorge II., who is for 85 years priueess of Wales.

Thomas Edison receives many amusing letters. Not long ago he was startled by au.epistle from a young lady asking if he could not invent an electric contrivance that would enable her to see the face of her future husband.

Julia F. Williams has been keeper of the Santa Barbara (Cal.) lighthouse for thirtyone years. During that period she has climbed the tower and attended to the light herself every night, with the exception of three week.* twenty years ago.

Political parades are prohibited by law in Delaware. With the exception of political clubs proceeding in a body from their headquarters to places where public meetings were held, there has not been an oldtim parade of political marching club3 in Delaware since the campaign of 1880.

William T. Adams (Oliver Optic) has crossed the Atlantic twenty-one times and the Pacific once, and has visited every country in Europe and many of those of Asia in search of literary material for his stories, of which over 1,000,000 have been sold.

General Greely has been experimenting with bicycles in the signal corps. Throe of them were recently sent to San Antonio, where Lieutenant Reber has been testing them. He reports that they are of great value when military telegraph lines break, as repairs can be made quicker and less valuable time lost than when a horse and wagon have to be secured.

Biilloons were used in the recent German army maneuvers. Each corps had a balloon handled by sixty men. Six gas carriages, drawn each by six horses, belonged to each balloon, and the unloading, filling and sending up took only fourteen minutes. The balloons were kept at a height of 3,200 feet, from which the officers telegraphed to headquarters and sent sketches of the enemy's position do.wn the rope.

Hereafter the Schroeders and the Schlatteivrs and other alleged "divine" healers will pay the city $100 a year for the privilege of operating in Kansas City. The upper house of-the city council has decided upon this, and concluded further to |nc|u^e*the cla^St^optors". wjg&kujm1* by the laying on pfhands, 'with ihe foKune tellers, the clairvoyants, the trance mediums, the mind readers, astrologists and palmists.

One of the richest men in Mexico'is Maximilian Damm, a German by birth. He lives in an old monastery in Durango and enjoys an income of nearly $700,000 a year from his silver mine, El Promontario. He began life in Mexico as a cook. Finally he went into business for himself, and while he was visiting in Germany his manager took what was supposed to be a worthless mine for a bad debt. It is this mine from which he is now deriving his income.

A Menominee, Mich., woman is richer by $5,000 than she was recently, and the manner in which the money came was like finding it. Her husband died fourteen years ago with $5,000 insurance on his life( which latter fact, however, was not known to the widow. The company has held the money since awaiting a claimant, but wishing to go out of business started an investigation of the matter, which resulted in the finding of the widow and the paying over of the money.

One of the tests of a fashionable and well dressed woman this winter will be the width of the sole she wears. Not on her dancing, carriage, calling or bedroom shoe, but on the stout, laced calfskin boot, in which the better half of her days, when walking, driving, cycle riding and churchgoing, will be spent. Added to this new sole is anew toe, and both of them are importations from England, where, if comfort, common sense and beauty are not all compatible, the first two virtues are chosen and beauty is scorned.

Writes Letters to Himself. An ingenious mechanic, who has too often had the experience of spending all his small salary on Saturday night and Sunday, and being "he on Monday morning, has hit upon a novel idea, by which he makes the Post-offioe Department his temporary savings bank.

Last Saturday he had a letter in his hand and an acquaintance happened to see the address on it. "Well," said he, "that's the first time I eve* heard of a man writing a letter to himself." "I shall be mighty glad to get that letter on Monday morning," said the workman. "It has a postal order for ten dollars in it. I post it late to-night, and I can't possibly get at it before Monday. You see, what with betting, the theaters and other things, I shan't have a penny in my pockets by Sunday night. But I shan't be long uneasy, for there is that little lot coming back to me by mail first thing on Monday. Not much, 1 dare say, but quite enough to keep me going a few days."

Let the Babies Sleep.

There are many who will agree with Miss Banfleld, of the Babies' Hospital, New York City, who declares that half the ailments of children in the metropolis arise from insufficient deep. She recognises that the same difficulty exists in the case of adults, and in a recent conversation on tikis subject says: "It is not only the children but the adults in New York that are failing into nervous insanity from this

cause. They li too fast and it affects peo pie of all ages. St. Vitus' dance, which is one of the most wearing of diseases, is the cousequence of lack of sleep,-although it is often wrongly ascribed to a lack of proper nourishment. Children live in such a rush iu New York City that th -y arc worn out before they arrive at maturity.'* "What, would you do to remedy this state of things?" would keep them in be an I give them plenty of sleep an 1 tonics. I would make the youngsters go to bed with the chickeus and get up with th em. In addition I would see that they got a two hours' nap in the afternoon. Pleufcy of sleep is the panacea for mast of the ills of childhood, particularly those of a nervous nature."

FASHION NOTES.

The popularity of dark red seems to be assured. The correct walking boot is to have a broad sole this winter.

Sailor hats, trimmed with plaid taffeta ribbon, are very popular for fall wear. Very dainty are the glass finger bowls in varying shades of color and apparently overlaid with lace.

Jacket basques hold their own, the full, soft vests being too generally becoming to be easily discarded.

A great deal of gray is seen, from the palest to the deepest shade, and also almond and apple-green. "Schen-schin" is the newest shade of pink. It is the color of Japanese roses-, when they first begin to bloom.

Braiding is shown on jackets, skirts and tailor-made basques, both small and large buttons being prominent in the decoration.

Silver candlesticks continue to please, especially when accompanied by one of the new shades of pierced silver, with colored silk liuing.

Popular materials for bodice accessories are silk, mull, fine lawns, velvet and chiffon, with ribbon, lace, insertion and edging for finishing touches.

For evening gowns net is being used in great profusion, but it is not treated in its most extravagant fashion, with trimmings of steel or jewels or jet.

Silver grape scissors antl grape flngenr are in order. The first snips the fruit from the cltlster, the second picks it up and conveys it to the mouth of the luxuriant per-( son who eats it.-

In jewelry rubies diamonds and black pearls are a combination much i/PVogne. Diamond thistles for the hair are the latest and among the diamonds are twisted silken threads pf many colors.

Dressy capes and collets are developed' from plain and chameleon velvet, velours du nord and heavily ribbed silks. It is said that bengaline is to be revived because of the favor given to wool velours.

Crepon, so much used last year, has taken rank among the despised fabrics. In its place we have handsome cloths with a smooth and glossy surface, fancy cashmeres, canvas, etc., for tailor-made gowns.

Linings of outside garments will be of a showy character and light graces will remain in vogue for lining dress skirts. In all designs of costumes silk can be used with good effect either visibly or invisibly.

An elaborate fichu for dressy wear is of white silk mull, with a charming decoration of insertion and lace edgings. It is shaped to form two long, equalet-like tabs on each sleeve and crosses in surplice fashion below the bust.

Hunday Reform.

Dr. Edward Thomson, who has been here a week, delivering discourses on Sunday Reform closes his series of meetings on tomorrow with the following services: 10:45 a. m., Central Presbyterian church, subject, "The Ideal Sabbath" 2:20 p. m., First M. E. church, subject, "Sunday for the Children 4.-00 p. m., Y. M. C. A. Hall, subject, "Sunday Rest for Men 7:00 p. m.. First United Brethren church, subject, "Shall the Foundations be Destroyed," 8 00 p. m., Centenary M. E. church, subject, "The Boon of Sunday Rest."

Dr. Thomson was a citizen of New York during the great battle for reform there and was one of the right hand men of Theodore Roosevelt.

The Albany, (New York) Daily Journal, one of the most critical of the great papers of the Empire state pronounces Dr. Thomson "the ablest speaker on Sunday Reform now on the American platform," and adds, "Every thinking man onght to hear him."

Dr. Thomson is not a one idea man but is one of the broadest general scholars in the land. Seven years he was a college president and several years before that a college professor. He acquired in cursu the degrees of A. B.. A. M., S. B.. and P. H. D. and has received pro honore the degrees of D. D. and L. L. D.

The Sunday League of America, the society of which Dr. Thomson is general manager, is the largest Snnday observance organization in the world. On its board of directors are not only eminent preachers but statesman of all parties such as Senator John Sherman, Hon. Hoke Smith, Ex-Gov. Nelson Dingley, Hon. Henry Watterson, Gen. John Bidweli.

The object of this organisation is to lay before the people the latest data, the most important statistics, the freshest arguments and get all the people to thinking. Thus build up in a philosophical way the public sentiment all over the nation In favor of a quiet and thoughtful Sunday.

An Arkansas girl bit her sweetheart on the Up while kissing him, blood poisoning set in and he died. Slain by the Jawbone of a lass, so to speak.
