ON THE QUI VIVE.

If you see it in The Mail it's so. Ijftst week Q. V. prophecied that after tile senatorial fight had been decided there would be a vigorous opening here among the Republicans, and that there would be more riot acts read, more pedigrees looked tip, and more -sore toes exposed, than had ever before been dreamed of. In less than six hours after the senatorial question had beeD decided the Express was out in a first page sensation with a scare head, declaring war onthe "traitors" who were charged with having sold out Mr. McKeen While apparently working for him. It went so far as!to name A. M. Higgins, W. I. Overstreet and D. W. Henry as the conspirators who had betrayed Mr. Moreen's confidence, and indirectly connected Col. It. W. Thompson with the scheme.

The gentlemen named have denied the general charges ramie, and challenge the production of one scintilla of evidence to sulxstantiate the attack on their character and their honor.

Tf Alvin M. Higgins, William I. Over•street and David W. Henry had been indicted by the Federal grand jury for treason against the government, and a "tor hearing the indictment read against them had entered a plea of not guilty, it would devolve on the Federal government by its officers to establish the proof of the charge made in

the

indictment. Until the govern­

ment was able to prove these charges, the men unrler indictment would be presumed to be innocent, and would be so held bj the court or jury before whom the trial whh undertaken.

These men named, one the president of the only Republican state club organ iza. tion, to which he was unanimously elected by delegates to whom he was no ranger another a son-in-law of Col. 11. W. Thompson (William 11. McKeen's oldest and most trusted friend), and the judge of one of out courts: the other a member of one of Terre Haute's leading business firms, have been charged with a crime infamous in its character, which they have denied. If they are guilty the proof should be furnished.

It is said that Mr. McKeen, who is the party most concerned, aside from the men charged with this treachery, does not believe the charges nml has said so to his intimate friends, although his well-known aversion to newspaper notoriety makes him shrink from mak'ng such a declaration in a card.

Q. V. is

of

the opinion that the general

public, aside from those who are interested in making these charges, does not believe these gentlemen have been guilty of treachery, and will not believe it without further proof than the mere general statement that they are guilty of such acts. They are held in high esteem as honorable, upright men. who would scorn to do such acts as they have had charged against them. Further than this, if they had any idea of being treacherous to Mr. McKeen, they could not afford to have done so. No man who expects to make his home in Terre Haute could afford-to be treacherous to Mr. McKeen. I he testimony is abundant that these men did work for Mr. McKeen, so far as it lay in their power, and as opportunities were given them. That they did not coincide with every move that was made by those who had Mr. McKeen's campaign in charge is not denied. Hut that falls far short of proving that they were untrue to him, or played him false.

The pity of the whole thing is that Mr. McKeen should have been beaten at all. No man in Indiana is entitled to as much at the hands of the Republican party as he. Year in and year out. in good times for the party, anil in bail, faithful and earnest and uncomplaining if more than his share of the burden was laid on his shoulders, he has labored for the success of the party, without hope or expectation of reward. And now when his business career would have been rounded out appropriately with the honorable position of United States ser. tor. he is denied all that he has ever asked of the party for which he has done so much. Hut in defeat he is the «ame conservative, reliable man. He is not heard charging any of his friends with having, letrayed him. He does not believe that any of his friends betrayed him. and he looks upon Messrs. Higgins. Overstreet and Henry as his friends.

The washing of dirty liuen in public is not an edifying and delectable spectacle, especially to those who are not in the laundry business. The exhibition this week has

the most sensational that has oc­

curred in political circles since the famous tight against Pierce in 1SN-J, when wit', the aid of Republican votes, secured through the

If it is true, as reported in one of the Clinton paper*, that the Republican county committee ot Vermillion county, will

n%

•u

recommend the appointment of Thomas Campbell to the position of postmaster there under the new administration, there will be some lively times in that burg, after the new postmaster takes his place, if Campbell gets it. Deacon Casey, formerly of the Express, but now editor and proprietor of the Clinton Republican, had made up his mind that he wanted tfce berth himself, and if the Republican leaders up there decide against the worthy deacon they will be like the old man who had heaps of trouble on his mind. The good deacon slings a fountain pea whose reservoir is filled with vitriol, and whenever he gets after a man he generally brings down the game. The deacon's Republicanism 3s of the brand known as stalwart and Clinton is his native heath, and if the leaders don't want to create a condition of affairs up there that will bum up the old •wagon bridge, and melt half of Clinton Into one conglomerate mass and float it down the Wabash river, they had better focus on Deacon Casey, who runs the only moral and truly religious newspaper in

Vermillion county, not even excepting Brent Davis, of the Hoosier State. Next week a meeting is to be held at Bvansville looking to the organization of a Central baseball league, comprising the cities of Evansville, Terre.Haute, Nashville. Chattanooga, Knoxville, Springfield, and Cairo, 111., and Lexington, Ky. The prospects for the organization of a league are said to be very flattering, although it can hardly be a success if all the cities mentioned are included in the membership. The jumps will be loo long, and nothing takes the life out of a baseball organization quicker than paying out all the proceeds of the games for rail road fares.

With some of these cities lopped off, and a moderate salary list baseball could be made to pay in this city. H. F. Schmidt is endeavoring to organize a stock company to take hold of the club, and a meeting will be held to.morrow to perfect the plan and select a representative to the Evansville meeting.

The name of Indianapolis should be changed to Hogville, talking of baseball. Over there the laws against Sunday baseball have been enforced, much to the disgust, of the thousands of baseball patrons, who defeated a candidate for re election as sheriff'out of the nomination because he would not permit Sunday games. Now an Indianapolis senator has introduced a bill amending the present law against Sunday baseball, but provid'.ng that it shall not affect cities haviug a population of 100,000 or over. There is but one city in the state having a population of 100,000, and that is Indiauapolis,. t©dthe bill could threfore well be called "A bill to

permit

Indianapo­

lis people to violate laws that are en'oreed iu other cities of the state." Great is the Indianapolis nerve.

ltuslncss Troubles.

The hardware firm of Teel Bros, made an assignment on Tuesday to Hugh Roquet, making preferred creditors of the First Natiaual bank, Emily B. Teel, Mary A. Boudinot and H. D. Roquet, who are secured by a chattel mortgage of $4,389.(12. Both members of the firm, Russell and Will, are well and favorably known, and there is general regret at the bad luck that has overtaken them, and hope that they will be able to pull through their troubles safely.

Win. Stark, who opened a notion store in the Foster-O'Boyle block last fall, made an assignment on Thursday to John L. Walsh, county treasurer-elect. His assets are estimated iu the neighborhood of $ 000, while his liabilities are about Mr. Stork came here from Bridgeport, Conn., last year, and by his straightforward conduct of his business made many friends. Expecting a good holiday trade he overstocked himself, and his present embarrassment is the result of some of the creditors demanding their money. It is hoped that he may be able to dispose of the stock to advantage, and get another start.

One of the brightest women who contribute to the Indiana press is Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss, of the' Rockville Tribune. Her department in'that paper is one of its most interesting features, but she does occasionally give expression to the most peculiar views, as witness the following: "Having given the subject considerable study, I have come to the conclusion that there is "nothing a man likes in a woman so much as the fact of her being a fool. I think that all men, if they had their preference, would have •all women beautiful «nd brainless. The fact is borne in upoa me mo# strongly -day "by day, that man cares very little "for the ^intellectual companionship of woman. In "fact, it is a terrible bore to a man to have to associate with a real smart women. She is always seeing through him, always coming up with him and getting ahead of him, and this is simply "pizen" to the male createre. Man is a natural! born tyrant, and the more little sillies he can have around iso "weep with delight when he gives them a smile, and tremble with fear at his frown," the better he dikes it. The only sort of real bright woman who can successfully deal with the *~r.#ex is she who iB smart enough to piiCf? id to be a fool.

She cajoles the man a rj no ratters him, with assurances of her utfpe: helplessness and dependence upon him 8Aid he "bites" nearly always. I rememtf hearing a taleuted friend of mine relate f'lather bitter experi euce of her own. She Tiad received some especial notice from a man of much distinction, aud was a little flattered that so clever a man should notice her at all. She brought all her -conversational powers to aid her in retaining his favor, and was really feeling herself on quits a footing of equality with him, when she noticed that he was horribly bored. She hastily released him from conversation with her, and he at once soug^ the most shallow, ignorant, uninterest^. woman in the room, and admitted^ a mutual frien that he was charmei,ivyith the rdmar creature's pretty facf0r|^)f my^fiiend he remarked that she very brilliant woman, and never weu." *r her or paid the least attention to her afterwards."

The bicycle girl has beeu forced to confess that the wheel is an injury to her. This has been brought about by the winter dancing season, and the way it happened is that the young woman who, during the summer and fall, has indulged in a daily spin, finds that the dance to her is no longer what it was, and that instead of having grace in every motion she finds it very difficult to develop even the proper motion. It has long been a subject of dis cussion as to whether or not the muscles and all that goes to make up the legs of a bicycle girl were really permanently affected by the exercise upon the wheel Naturally it is a fact that every one •eould understand that the tendency of wheeling is to make the muscular portion of the calf of the leg bulge out in greater degree than is noticeoble in the Venus de Milo, but still it was not thought this was anything that would affect in any unpleasant way the walk or the movements of the bicycle girl. The wheel no doubt makes the bicycle girl's legs stronger, but when it comes to pirouetting about and tracing on the ball room floor the mystic figures so dear to the heart of the debutanic and her saniors, then, alas, the ill effects of the wheel are apparent. The young woman who has plighted her affections to the bike in the season when it was particularly in evidence suddenly discovers that while in her mind she is thoroughly familiar with just what she ought to do she is absolutely incapable of performing proper action. The muscles of her limbs seem to have lost their cunning. Instead of being able to "one, two, three one, two, three," as the dancing master would have it, she finds it hard to even "one," and her partner wonders what on earth is the matter with the young woman, who, the year before, danced as if she were a sylph.

The difficulty referred to is particularly noticeable in the waltz. The bicycle girl finds it absolvitoly impossible to execute the steady glide. Awkwardness does not describe what she feels. She can only perform a movement that is as eccentric in its way as it lacks elasticity. The polka, the schottische and the quadrille are almost as difficult, although the latter, of course, call for much less exercise of skill in the matter of executing the steps. Inquiry among the young women who ride the bicycle shows it to be an actual fact that exercise on the wheel seems to deaden and stiffen the set of muscles that come into play in dancing. Just why this is so the doctors are unable to explain except in a general way that they become lax and useless through the constant exercise of other muscles, and that when the old-time muscles again are put in use, they are awkward and not inclined to respond to the call made upon them.

Several of the young women who have danced to the delight of thousands at the theatres ruefully admit that their affection for the wheel has caused them no end of trouble. "Why," said one young woman, whose merry eyes have gained for her an international reputation, "I took up the wheel for exercise, don't you know, and liked it ever and ever so much, but what was my surprise after I had been riding a while to find that for some reason or other it was very much harder for me to danoe than it had been before. I couldn't imagine what was the matter, finally, I went to see my doctor and asked him if there was anything wrong with my muscles. He looked me all over carefully and

then said the -only thing that was wrong, so fat as he could judge, was the wheel. i*' "I asked him what in the world he meant and he said that riding the wheel deadened the muscles that I used in dancing, and that every night, when I had been riding in the day, I would find that the muscles for dancing wo/in't act as if I had not been riding. diking does not effect me thafc at ail. I can walk miles and mi|^ id feel just as well as ever at nigh^, sc far as the muscles are concerned^*'but do you know I have just had to give up the wheel I have had to give it up altogether, much as I hate to.

You see dancing is my bread and butter, and as I find that riding the wheel hurts my dancing I simply have got to stop it. Hd*v does the affection make me feel? W^y, I have a sort of sense of goneness in m$.legs, just as if the muscles that I know ard there were taking a vacation, or something of that sort. I cannot make the little^ kicks and twists wi,th my legs that I ought to in older to m§ke my dance perfect, and so you see I have had to give up the wheel."

That is just about the same way it seems to "most ol the ^oung women who have been question'^4m this rather delicate subject. So g&£-.*al

has been the practice

of riding wheels by your jwomen the past season that this curio||/ affection of the dancing muscles i& a fnatter of almost national interest. Go into the ball room where the young women of ordinary society are to be found and watch the move ments of the dancers. There will at once be apparent the lack of grace and lithesonieness that is usually characteristic of the American girl. There is a dragging movement| about the feet as if a tendon Wasi out of order, or something of that nature.

Efow to earn a little money at home is a great problem to many women and girls at the present time. Perhaps the simple experience of some friends, here related, may contain helpful suggestions.

A young woman living in a little village, who could not l^ave home on account of invalid mother, conceived the idea of taking in mending. It was favorably received by her friends and neighbors and strangers also, and she soon had all the work she could do. She called the day after washday and carried home the articles in need of repair. She was to supply thread, missing buttons and

yarn

for darn­

ing, and the pay varied according to the amount of work to be done on the garment. Small pay enough, to be sure, but she was astonished to see what a tidy little sum it amounted to in even a single month gh«*fVas~neat axul skillful and the work was done with despatch and gave satisfaction.

Another young lady lived in a large village which contained thi'ee or four baby dressmakers, and as she could make nice button holes she went to them for work, and they employed her all through the busy season to make button-holes on dresses. They gave her the twist and paid her two cents a button hole.

But it is reserved for a woman in that same city to hit upon a novel way of turning an honest penny. Passing along a quiet street, I saw a card in a window bearing this notice: "Babies cared for while mothers attend church, matinees or go shopping. Charges moderate." I stopped in to acquire some information about a business so new to me and was met by a pleasant-faced woman who ushered me into the room where she was caring for three or four children. Two were quite young babies and lay in a crib contentedly nursing bottles. The woman said that scarcely a day passed without her having at least one child to care for and often as many as six, from small babies to children of 5 years and older. The mothers brought food for them and paid five cents an hour through the day, ten cents an hour in the evening, thus gaining leisure to attend church, fairs, picnics or theaters. ________________

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Paris manages to keep ahead of New York in the spread of variety performances. The aristocratic church of St. Roch has just employed the Chat Noir company with other well-known artists in an e*tertainment to provide money for the support of its schools.

An Auxerre, France, woman has had •even children within a year, four recently three girls and a boy, all alive and well, and triplets less than a year ago. Her name is Drouet, and she is descended from the postmaster who stopped Louis' XVI. in his flight at Varennes.

Profiting by the failares of the many efforts that have been made in various parts of the country to stop the habit of spitting in public places, the Topeka Sanitary department decided to have printed and pasted on the sidewalks small posters reading, "Hogs spit on the sidewalks gentlemen in the gutter."

If a cobbler always stuck to his last, the American judiciary would have lost some able and useful members. According to the New York Times, the Hon. William D. McHugh, the newly appointed judge of the United States District court for the district of Nebraska, was a cobbler only a few years ago, yet he saved money enough at his trade, and also in teaching school, to defray the expenses of his legal education, and now he is a lawyer of high reputation. Judge Charles Daniels of Buffalo, who sat for so many years as an associate justice of the general term of the Supreme court in New York, was also a shoemaker for a short time in early life.

Lamb, died at the home

of her son, Hon. Johu E. Lamb, on south Sixth street, last Monday afternoon, aged 78 years. She had been a resident of this city since 1848, when she came here from Lafayette. She was a native of County Longford, Ireland, and came to this country in 1835, when sixteen years old. Her husband. Michael Lamb, died nearly twentv years ago. She was a faithful aud consistent member of the Catholic church, and was prominent in its charitable work. Eleven children were born to her, of whom seven survive.

James Hunter has finally decided to put up a substantial building for his laundry on the northeast corner of Sixth aud Cherry streets this spring, and Architect Chas. E. Scott has prepared plans for the same. Bids on the work will be received until Monday, February 1st. Mr. Huuter began the l«undry business in a modest way about twenty years ago, by sending collars and cuffs to Troy, N. Y., to be laundered. The business grew so fast that he started a small laundry in the rear of his gents' furnishing establishment. It spread out until now he

pays

out annually for labor'

alone between $25,000 and $80,000 and does laundry work for two or three hundred cities and towns in this and adjoining states. The new building will be erected with the idea of making a mQdel laundry, and it will be quite a notable addition to Terre Haute's business buildings.

Sam Young's Company.

Hustling, enterprising Sam M. Young has secured Germania Hall for a two weeks' engagement for his Melville Sisters combination, and will open next Monday week, the 25th inst. His company this year is far superior to any he has ever had on the road, and he is winning golden opinions from the press in the cities where he has appeared. Our people have gone without amusements for so long that this opportunity to see a flrst-elass repertoire company will be gladly welcomed. The list of plays presented this year is large, and a new play will be presented every night. The capacity of Germania Hall is such that the company is taking great chances in appearing here, but Mr. Young is anxious to please his old patrons, and has taken these chances, which certainly entitles him to the most generous patronage.
