ON THE QUI VIYfi.

0»e phase of the sewer question is settled beyond question, and that is that Expert Samuel M. Gray, of Providence, R. I. is to examine the plans presented by Mr. Cole, of Chicago. The members of the sewer committee and the attaches of the engineer's office had quite a controversy over the plans last Saturday afternoon, the committee demanding them, while the others insisted that they were properly in the custody of the engineer. The story is told, that one of the members of the committee insisted to the city engineer that the city had not paid for the plans in full, and therefore did not own them, and they belonged to Mr. Cole, to which the engi neer asked "Well, which side do you represent, the city or Mr. Cole." This ended the controversy for the time being, as can well be imagined. A special meeting of the council was called for Monday night, when the question as to who was to have the plans was decided by turning them over to the expert selected at the previous special meeting, Mr, Gray, who was pres cnt. He said that his terms for examin ing and making a report on the plans would be $1,000, which terms were accepted, and before long we will know whether the plans that have caused so much trouble and worry are practical, and whether they will provide the city the sewer system we ne«d. If he says they are not practical, and his report Is approved by the council, it will have cost the city $2,200 to attain this knoweledge, $1,200 to Mr. Cole and $1,000 to Mr. Gray, to say nothing of the cost of the engineering force that put in several months taking the levels and other data on which Mr. Cole's plans are prepared. All this data can be used in the preparation of other plans if it is decided to go ahead with the matter after of the expert's report is adopted. This much is to be said, however, if the Cole plans are not found practical, that it will be better to have expended $2,200 on them before putting a cent into the sewer proper, ratetr than to have waited for its completion to discover that it would not fill the bill.

Rev. Thos. I. Coultas, when pastor of the Centenary church of this city, was recognized by all who heard him as a minister of more than ordinary qualifications, and one destined to make a considerable mark in his profession. His call to the pastorate of Roberts Park church, at Indianapolis, at a handsome increase of salary demonstrated the truth of this. Now, after three and a half years service for the church, he has asked the official board of that church to release him from his pastorate there, in order that he may accept charge of the leadiug Methodist church of Morristown, AN. J., a wealthy town close to Now York \City. Whether or not the Roberts Park board will permit him to leave that church before his time is up, or not, the invitation from the New Jersey church is another (step towards national prominence, and before many years Dr. Coultas's eloquence nd abilities will push him to the forefront mong the Methodist divines of the counry.

The modesty and bashfulnessof the averge young man of Terre Haute was never 0 well illustrated as In the experience of oung Mr. Brown, of this city, who started .1 to teach a district school in Fayette jwnship recently, and gave it up after hree weeks' trial. It is said that one of ho big girls "kissed him on the play round," at least that is where the Gazette •ys she kissed him. Now if she had kiss1 him on the mouth, or on the ear, or in words of the old song, had kissed his elids down, there might have been some won for his unusual show of bashful ess. When a pretty Fayette township irl, with rosy cheeks and teeth of pearl, rows her arms around one's neck, and trts a kissing matinee forthwith, there is •me occasion for embarrassment to a man fho isn't "on to his job." But no man acht to be embarrassed by being kissed nHhe playground, although it had that foot on this young man, and not being jn to his job," he immediately resigned, »*liich marks the high tide for Terre Haute pdesty find bashfulness among the ornsr sex.

The amount of inisittfdtftifttion that snlges about some offices is fearfully and onderfnlly peculiar, and one of the offices particular is that of coroner. Down in tllivan county one day this week, a man as injured while chopping down a tree.

Btarted for his house, quite a distance ay, but was overcome by illness, fell id died. His body was discovered later the evening, and because the men who niyd him thought he could not be reved until the corouer had viewed the nains,they stayed thereuntil two o'clock next afternoon, bulkliug fires to keep omselves warm, and allowing the body lie in an open field, without cover or tection. A little sound horse sense mid have told them that such precauwere unnecessary, but they were short it.

Police Tragwdy.

ne of the most deplorable occurrences the history of the police department plat* shortly after midnight last Sunnight, and resulted In the death of Pailman Nicholas Roth at tbe hands of tnes Bishop, colored, a fellow member the department. The tragedy occurred front of No. S fire house on south Fourth -**t, where Bishop was getting ready to his midnight lunch. Roth entered the use and began abusing Bishop for some'ng he had done, which Roth styled ^capping. One bitter word led to aner, and being ordered out of the house

by one of the members of the fire company, they went out in front of it and resumed their dispute. Patrolman Weddle, who was taking his lunch there, interfered, and induced Bishop to re-enter the house. But Jlcth persisting in his abuse, Bishop again went out in front, and with him Weddle, who again endeavored to prevent trouble. It seems that Roth in his excitement pulled his revolver and pointed it at Bishop's face, pulled the trigger. Bishop grabbed it with his left hand, and caught the descending hammer with his thumb, at the same time firing two shots in Roth's direction. One entered behind the ear, the other in the breast. The first shot caused death almost instantly. It was done so quickly that the other policeman had no chance to interfere, and Bishop walked in to the engine house with the two revolvers in his hand, explaining that while he re gretted the terrible proceeding, he was compelled to shoot or be killed himself, He expressed perfect ignorance of any reason that should have induced Roth to take such a step, but later it was learned that a conversation that Daniel Roper had had with Roth and with Bishop had led Roth to believe that Bishop had been talking against him.

The shooting caused a great sensation, as the two men had been known for a long time to be the very best of friends, and no reason could be furnished jr Roth's hasty action. Bishop has been a member of the department for over thirteen years, and has been one of the most quiet, unoffending members on the force, while strictly attending to the duties assigned him. Roth had been a member of the force for about five years, and was also looked upon as one of the best men on the force. He was brave, as several notable arrests he had made fully testified. He was quick tem pered, however, and the fancied wrong done him by Bishop no doubt led to the quarrel which resulted in his deplorable death. Bishop is married, and lives on south Thirteenth street. Roth was a married man, residing in the brick row on Ohio street between Sixth and Seventh.

An affidavit was filed against Bishop for murder in the second degree, on Monday, and he was released on $1,000 bail. He engaged Lamb & Beasley to laok after his case, but the grand jury after investigating the matter, refused to indict him.

Roth was a member of Paul Revere lodge, Knights of Pythias, and his funeral on Wednesday was one of the largest ever conducted by that order in the city, the severe weather considered. Two platoons of police acted as escort to the remains which were buried in Woodlawn cemetery.

Death of Charles Kern.

Charles Kern, whose name was once a household word in Terre Haute, but who for a third of a century has been away from here, died at his home in Chicago last Monday, aged sixty-five years. Mr. Kern came to this country when eighteen years of age, and after living several years in Tennessee came to Terre Haute, where he engaged iu the restaurant business. He was elected sheriff of this county in 1862, but was defeated two years later, and a short time afterward removed to Cincinnati, where he managed the Gault house. He removed to Chicago shortly before the great fire, and in that affair lost his all. He soon recovered his lost ground, and his restaurant soon attained a reputation and attained a business that made him rich. After several unsuccessful races for sheriff of Cook county he was elected in 1876, but met with defeat two years later. In 1890 was elected treasurer of Cook county, and

N ing his occupancy of that office be had so many former residents of Terre Haute employed there that it might well have been taken for a Vigo county office. Mr. Kern was quite wealthy, and lived in a handsome home in one of the fashionable south side boulevards. He was married in 1852 to Miss Mary A. Whiteman, of Lyons, N. Y., who, with one son, Harry, and one daughter, Mrs. J. P. Dodge, of German town, Pa., survive him. He was a brother of Jacob Kern, the jeweller, and Mrs. Carrie A. Newhart, of south Fourth street, both of whom attended his funeral on Wednesday, as did his wife's sister, Mrs. R. L. Ball.

What to Say About the Baby. The average man is apt to feel a little at a loss when a fond father or mother holds up before him a mite of a red-faced baby. Something must be said, of course, and if possible, something pretty. Well, here is a list of remarks, compiled by a benevolent contributor to an English magazine, any one of which will do in such an emergency, if nothing more original suggests itself: "Isn't he sweet! He looks just like you!" "I think he is going to look like his father!" "Oh, what dear little fingers! Do let me see his dear little toes!" "Isn't he large!" "Isn't he a tiny darling f" "How bright he seems!" "Did you ever see such a sweet little mouth!" "Isn't he Just too sweet for anything t" "The dear little darling! I never saw so yonng a baby look so intelligent! 'Do, please, let me hold him just a minute!"

The first of the above remarks has the advantage of killing two binds with one stone, so to speak. The last is put forth with some misgivings. Awkward bachelors are advised to think twice before making nse of it.

ABOUT *W0MEN.

Among the many things which are written to-day for woman's reading, is there anything, I wonder, for the really lonely and neglected woman? asks Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss, in the Rockville Tribune. People will tell you that no good, pleasant woman is ever necessarily lonely that all can find friends and companionship if they but seek it.. But I know better. The very best and pleasantest women in the world are often the most neglected- Perhaps they have not the social "knack." It is no sign of stupidity if they haven't. There is in this knack very much the same com bination of deceit and general slick citizenship that constitutes the successful politician. Perhaps the-negleeted woman has too much pride and sensibility, too much genuine good breeding to overlook the snubs and slights that the woman with unscrupulous social ambitions must take, and seem unconscious of. It seems to be one of the first instincts of the human mind to wish to exclude others from their pleasures. One notices it upon the play ground at school, where the tiniest girls have their crowds, and put in the time making others feel lonely and miserable. It is the nature of the human animal to go where he hears the pleasant sound of voices and laughter. How utterly lonely and miserable he feels when the pleasant sounds cease at his approach, and cold glances tell him that he is not to share in the enjoyment. This is a sad world at best, but how many thousands of people are engaged in making it sadder!

There is no more aggravating thing to say to a lonely woman than that she has her husband and children to live for. It is particularly insulting from the lips of women who have many other interests. Why, bless your soul, it is the household and the children and the husband that the poor thing is tired of. Husbands and children and housekeeping are our greatest blessings, but a too constant application of duty to them will pall upon the best woman in the world. No one will deny the beefsteak is a good and wholesome thing, but eat it three times a day for six months and see if you will not loathe it at the end of that time. Well, what shall the lonely woman do Her husband tells her to go out visiting. That afternoon she sallies forth. The first lady she calls upon is out the second is entertaining a club, of which thB lonely woman has often wished she might be a member the third is preparing for an in formal evening party, to which the lonely woman is not invited at the house of the fourth she meets a jolly group, who seem to know everything and to go everywhere. Their conversation opens a vista of pleasure, into which the lonely woman may pesp, but not go. They seem a little restive of her presence. Her hostess is polite, but she sees that she is an intruder, and so she moves on. She calls upon one of her mother's old friends. There she is warmly received. The lady kisses her, asks after the babies, and warms up the lonely women's heart wonderfully, but as she wends her way homeward, in the twilight, theia is an ache in her heart that it is a pity for a good young woman to have to feel. I think we may none of us claim to be Christians until we know that no act of ours has added to that hurt. I believe that it is useless for us to profess to be a Christian nation until society is cleansed of its polite cruelties, and until offenses against the natural yearnings of the human heart are considered heinous in the eyes of the people who claim gentility. All the organizations of our society are founded upon this system of preferment and exclusion, and half of our satisfaction is due to some one else's discomfiture. The pleasure in an exclusive circle is, for the most part, due merely to the fact that it is inaccessible to othersjust as some people's idea of Heaven is incomplete without the other place, where people may lie and howl miserably and envy the high estate of those more fortunate.

The great incident in a woman's life, and therefor an inevitable one in the woman of fiction, is love. The most constant element in woman's love, in reality or in fiction, is doubt.

Even with utmost confidence in the sincerity of the love she has engaged, few women do not, at times, harass themselves with the thought that perhaps the man only fancies that he loves her that in the depth of his heart is buried some other love that may be quickened that his love, now so ardent, may soon grow dim and gradually fade away.

They seem never to permit such questioning to test the merit of the love they give.

To the lover these doubts are never well defined—they come only in the unexpected moods that so pexplex all lovers.

She is unhappy and she does not know why. She is despondent, butcannotdefine to herself cause for hopelessness. She is wounded, but is unconscious of what hurt her. She feds that her soul has gone out to her love that die must have it back, but that if it is given back she must die. She is so happy and she is so sad. She feels that sho and her lover are all and all to each other, except that she may not be all in all to him. She is devoted to him, but is he devoted to her*

And the man, having no understanding of her consciousness, simply berates himself for having at som time, somewhere, in some manner, done something to wound the sensitive nature of this dear girl. Or, not being able to find any solution of the trouble, be early comes to resolving every shade of difference through the broad gen-

eral principle that all women have their moods that such moods do not really betoken diminishment of affection and that annoya&ces of this sort are part of the penalty that man has to pay for the happiness of love.

In the matter of love men and women seem to be essentially different. Man always shows an abounding joy in being loved. It is never perfect happiness to woman unless she can mingle at times with the assurance a sweet, gentle melancholy, springing from doubts which, if called to answer, she would indignantly scorn and deny.

So it seems ever to have been, and probably it vttltfver be, so long as this sweet influence^ love, impels men and softens women.

Perhaps this enhances the pleasure of love. John Keats, with everything of beauty that was to have been to him a joy forever fast faded from his vision and his fleeting breath almost ready to leave his dying body, left, nearly as his last word, that his dearest hope of love was of a sweet purest."

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

The singular punishment for bigamy in Hungary is to compel the man to live with both wives in one house.

New Haven, Conn., is soon to have a society of those whose ancestors came from Great Britain and were entitled to display coat armor, according to the records of the Herald's college, in London.

John Mills, as administrator of his father's estate, has sold at Rome, Ga., a bale of cotton Which his father raised in 1872. The father refused to sell it at 22 cents, deeming the price too low, and had held it for a rise. It was sold at 5 4-5 cents.

Great nAmes and high politics are well representor in t"he general offices of the Maine Central railroad, where positions of importance are held by a son of Joseph H. Manley, a nephew of Arthur Sewall and a nephew of Thomas B. Reed.

The question is now being discussed in Chicago as to whether physicians should wear beards. One doctor has declared that the day is not far distant when all physicians will go cleanly shaven. It is claimed that beards aid in spreading contagion.

When a Ness county, Kansas, farmer runs out of meat, the Kansas City Star says, he steps to his door just as he goes to bed and let* go both barrels of his shotgun. The next morning he picks up enough jackrabbits to keep the pot boiling for a week.

If a plan now on foot is carried out Vice President-elect Hobart will call the next United States senate to order with a gavel made from a limb of one of the old apple trees standing on the farm where he was born. The gavel will be highly embellished and will bear an appropriate inscription on a gold plate.

There is bad news for the divorce lawyer of Chicago in the announcement that some of the girls of that city have organized for the purpose of securing a five-year marriage contract. With the Chicago marriage extended to five years, it may in time be extended to ten years, and ultimately even for life.

Four months ago there was a rule placed in effect on the Galveston, LaPorte and Houston that engineers would be required to pay for all stock killed by them on that line, and since then the amount paid for dead cattle has not exceeded $20 per month, while before it had amounted to nearly $1,200 per month.

Those interested in bicycling will be surprised to learn that Mrs. A. E. Reinhart, of Denver, Col., has ridden in the year 1896 over 17,000 miles, including 3 doubles and 116 single "centuries." Her best record of a double "century" was made in 15 hours and 50 minutes, with a rest of 28 minutes at the end of the first hundred miles.

General Maceo, the most popular and successful of the Cuban leaders, was a mulatto. The president of Mexico is half an Indian. General Dodd, the French hero of Dahomey, is a Senegalese quadroon. The mixture of races does not quench genius, as Dumas had proved in literature, although a prevalent superstition is slow to admit the truth.

In s#ne respects the most interesting contractor in the world is Lorin Farr, the man who has helped to build six mormon temples—those at Kirtland, O., Nauvoo, HI. St. George, Utah Logan and Manti and, greatest of all, the magnificent Salt Lake temple, which cost millions of dollars. Mr. Farr is 77 years old, a native of Vermont and a devout mormon. He has a strong, rugged face, with a fine "Gal way fringe" of whiskers. In 1868 and 1800 be bailt 900 miles of the Central Pacific road on the stretch between Ogden and a point sear Humboldt Wells.

The talked-of divorce suit of Cliver vs. Cliver made its appearance this week, when Harry H. Cliver sued Clara E. Cliver for a legal separation, because he found her in a compromising situation with Wm. Ellsworth last week. Ellsworth seems to be down on his luck, for while driving out to his Sugar Creek home last Saturday evening, his team ran away and he was thrown to the ground, had two ribs broken and his shoulder-dislocated.

Like a page from fiction reads the experience of John N. Reiz, who was found dead in an outhouse in the rear of the residence of his son, Henry Reiz, on north Fourth street, Sunday night. Eighteen years ago he left his family which lost all trace of him, until last Thursday, when he joined his children here. From being intemperate he had become a religious writer. The coroner decided that death resulted from hemorrhage of the lungs.

Frank Heaney, who was sent to the insane asylum a year or so ago, died there on Tuesday, and* his body was brought here for burial. The funeral took place yesterday morning from the home of his sister, Mrs. Jeremiah Cronin, on north Thirteenth street.

The deceased had filled various positions in tbe city and county offices, and had a large circle of friends.

The thirty-sixth commencement exer c!ses of the Terre Haute High School took place last evening at the High School hall.

At last we are rid of the porch climbers who went through G. A. Schaal's house last November. They made an ineffectual attempt to break jail on Wednesday, and were so discouraged by their failure that they decided not to stand trial, as they had intended. They consulted with their attorney, 8. R- Hamill, who had previously advised them to plead guilty, and on Thursday they entered that plea. Wm. Morton was given two years in the penitentiary, while his companions, Wm. Wright and George Evans, were sentenced to four years each. When Evans and Wright started for Jeffersonville Thursday night, and the officers in charge of them attempted to put shackles on the legs to prevent any attempt at escape, they rebelled and fought desperately against that step. They iters overpowered, of course, bat at the station when the officers tried to get them on the cars they fought again, and had to be carried

Terre Haute is one of the few cities of importance iu the country that has been minus an organization of this kind, and as the proceeds are to be used in establishing the permancy of the club, the public should be quick to recognize the merits of the organization by a generous patronage. The programme arranged for the occasion is an inviting one to lovers of music, including selections from Wagner, Gounod, Schubert, Chopia, and others. It is said that several hundreditickets have already been sold, and every one who can really afford to do so should assist in making this first concert a grand success.

Breinig, arranger of music P. J. Breinig, director of orchestra E. F. Colberg, concertmeister.

Reserved seats for the concert may be secured without extra charge at Paige's music store.

Reflections of a Bachelor. The quickest way to make a woman like you is to get her to hate some one you don't like.
