ON THE QUI VIVE.

The chief sensation of the week has been the controversy Orer the statement of Otto Heinl, of this city, to the effect that while employed as a florist at the Plainfteld reform school in 1891, he was so disgusted by the severe treatment accorded many of the boys there that he resigned his position. This plain statement of tacts, accompanied fay more complete specifications of, mistreatment, has produced a sensation in the Gazette office, as the editor of that paper is a member of the board of control of the institution, and stirred np the superintendent of the school, Prof. T. J. Chariton, a well-kept looking gentleman, who has the reputation of being a firstclass man in the place. Mr. Heinl acknowledges his willingness to swear to the trnth of every statement he has made, but thus far about the "only swearing that has been done has been between the lines of the -txli to rials in the Gazette. To date Mr. Heinl has had about eight columns o£ heavy editorial fired at his devoted head, and thus far the Gazette editor seems undeftided as to whether he will banish Mr. He'nl off the face of the earth or Weylerize him by having him shot -at daybreak in the court house square. Up to the hour of going to press the Gazette editor has proved beyond jjeradventure that Mr. Heinl is guilty of the following heinous offenses:

Piracy ou the high seas. Treason against the government of the United States.

Conspiring against the peace and welfare .of the state of IndianaMurder in the first degree.

Incendiarism. Kidnapping." Violation of the eleven o'clock and Suuday closing law. lie may have more serious crimes proven against him this evening.

Seriously, however, the severe attack on Mr. Heinl in the editorial columns of the Gazette, in which he is called a sham reformer and a big, cruel brute, is as uncalled for as it is unmanly. As a matter of fact, so far as the discussion thus far 1 is shown, Mr. Heiul has made no pretense to being a reformer, aud it is unfair to call him a sham reformer, and unjust to call him a big, cruel brute. There isn't a more manly, straightforward young man in the city of Terre Haute than Otto Heinl, and he comes from a family of big-hearted, whole-souled, well-intentioned, honest people, than whom no better exists on the face of the earth. Q. V. knows nothing of a does know Otto Heinl, and when the latter says that he saw during his stay at Plainfield cases of cruel treatment. Q. W., along with a great many other people, believes that he did see such cases there, as he offers to swear he did.

Mr. Heinl says he saw-boys abused there, and saw the marks of the abuse on their bodies. The Gazette editor says that Mr. Heinl could uot have seen such cases there, for it was impossible for such things to have occurred, and therefore Mr. Heinl is a sham reformer aud a big, cruel brute. All of which is very convincing to the average person who doesn't happen to be a memlter of the board of control of au institution whose past methods are found fault with, and who hasn't a newspaper in which to assail those who disagree with him.

Mr.

Charlton'*

contribution to the dis­

cussion is a denial of the charges, together with the admissiou that the sewing machine strap which Mr. Heinl says was used there during the time he was at the school has been abolished and a wider strap substituted.

The police bill passed the house this week and is now in the hands of the governor,. who announces that he will do nothing with it until after the legislature adjourns. It is given out that he will sign it. Not because it meets his views on the police business, but because it is a party caucus mens tiro and he does nut care to go against it. If the governor is as smart a man as Q. V. thinks he is and with an equally smart man at his elbow to counsel and advise him in the person of clever Charley Wilson, his private secretary—-he will sign the measure ami give the people of Terre Haute what they have long been demanding, a cleaning up of the police force that we have had for six years. The influences that have controlled the police force are familiar to all. and do not need to be recounted here. The governor knows what they are. too. and if he wants to do a service to the people of Terre Haute, irre spective of party, he will sign this bill and appoint police commissioners who will see that there is no favoritism in the conduct

of the police force, and that no favors are shown any particular business interest. He has plenty of good material from which to select commissioners. Among the names of those who atv candidates for the position may be named Lawrence Heinl, Cbas. H. Trftquair. I. X. Adems, John Barba-sett-e, Joseph IViee. Joseph X. Barney, Frank Fisbeck.S, M. Huston,.!. A. Parker, Lee Williamson, Geo. C. Kossell, Col. E. E. South, all Republicans M. C. Houtiahn and Dan Riebold, silver Republicans: J. C. Kolsetu, present Democratic incumbent, 11. A. Urban, one of the gold Democrat* who was fired from the Jackson club for supporting McKinley: John F. Bnnknmu, also a gold Democrat, John McFall and S. EL Dnvi*. Democrat*. There are almost a* many applicant* for the position of superinU'a»l*nt of police as there are for places on the board, among them being Captain HyUnd. Detective McHae,

Sergeant Beattie, Ben DeBww.Chas M.kaun.

Daggett, Barney Greggs, John Butler, Peter N. Staff and Josiah D. Jones. The jealousies and bickerings that distinguish thra present force will not be decreased by the promotion of any member of the department, in fact, they would be increased, and if all the present members succeed in holding their jobs they will likely be satisfled witk this.

The decision of the Supreme court tfa'is week, involving all the vital points for which the city is contending in the proposed opening of Ohio street across the tracks of the E. & T- H. railroad, means that that street will beopened in the course of time, if the city can by the assessment of benefits to the property affected raise enough to pay the railroad company for the damage that will undoubtedly result from the opening of the street. The decision of the court is quite a victory for the attorneys interested in the case for the city, and it is to be hoped that such a decision, practically -in the very beginning, may result in the-opening of the street, which would be of more practical benefit to the city at large than almost any other public improvement that coulfi be proposed. It is not possible now to say what the immediate effect of the decision will be. If the railroad decides to apply for a rehearing, sixty days are allowed to complete the petition for rehearing, and it would require three months for a decision on this petition. So long as the rehearing is undecided the* court will not certify this decision down -to Vigo county, without which the city can proceed no 'art,her at the present time. Therefore, it the railroad company moves for a prehearing it will be not less than five months before any more steps can be taken in the matter.

The opening.ef Ohio street will make it possible for the city to take advantage of the offer of Mrs. Sarah Deming, donating to the city a beautiful park-tract between the Bloomington and National roads, at the end of what would be Ohio street extended, and would open to improvement some of the most beautiful "residence property in the city of Terre Haute. The value of every piece of property lying east of the railroad would be increased, and such a boom would be given that,part of the city as would saBd it forward for many years. Then, with the construction of the belt sewer, the future would look very bright for the property owners in that part of the city.

But this will not come wiifch the erection of a viaduct over the railroad tracks. A viaduct to properly across the tracks would need an approach of not less than

ffpetv ST^tclf proach would seriously damage, if not entirely ruin, all property contiguous to it. An ugly, unsightly thing an approach would be, too, and the city council should never consider such an idea. The opening of such streets is what makes it possible for cities to became great and prosperous, and Q. V. believes that the present city council has the nerve and determination to proceed according to law in the opening of this street, which means much for the prosperity of Terre Haute. If it does it will go dwu to fame as the council that opened Ohio street, and this will be a distinction «f which every member may feel proud.

Mayor Ross in the goodness of his heart is devekpiog a number of parliamentarians in 'he city council, by taking a night off occaionally and putting some member of the ccuncil in his chair. Tuesday night Councilman Goodman presided, and went after th| business as if he had never had anytliiiic else to do but preside over council meefugs.

The jlalousy towards the State Normal school which resulted in the effort to deprive tfat. institution of some of its usefulness betaking away the life licenses for its graduates is likely to meet in failure. The Gi'ting educational bill, prepared by the superintendent of public instruction, had niny good features and would have no ddiht improved the schools of the state fad it become a law, but it has been amenjed to death, and will not be passed. The tfort. to cripple the Normal, the only statejnstituf ion of the kind, will result in the Auditions remaining as they are at preset. Such a measure as that the opposition has been trying to secure would hivifliseredited the institution and gone a lonrfvay towards impairing its usefulness and reducing the attendance. The fact thathree students were suspended from thejehool this week for a violation of the rulf has been taken advantage of to show thai as was said, the pupils of that institutfu no better than any others, and thdbforo Should have no special privilege*. TWeffort has been the most pronounced thi has over been rfiade against the sc&ol, and it was only by the hardest kijl of work that the conspiracy has been debated.

ABOUT WOMEN.

A Philadelphia woman, much in the social swim, writes to the Times of that city, a piquant letter on social obligations, the truth of which will strike every woman. She remarks: "I suppose that we have social duties, but there is too common a denial of one's right to one's self, and it is about time that a frank defense of the right should be no less a duty than to greet hospitably a

comer

who never knows

when to go. Many such a comer presumes that her leisure is a valid claim to another's time, and she sits and gabbles, while the poor hostess smiles and squirms. What warrant has anybody to enter a house and subject its economy and its mistress to such an infliction An intimate friend is, as a rule, always welcome, but the occasional caller who disgorges her store of tattle, brings her corkscrew of inquiry in order to replenish herself and still lingers as ff to permit the new fund of information to be comfortably assimilated, merits different treatment. Somehow one cannot always shut her off at the door with the polite fib, 'Not at home,' and she, too, often rings the bell with a tingling intimation that she is not to be so easily duped. Has Mrs. A a better right to Mrs. B's house than Mrs. herself Society insists that Mrs. shall take the hand, ratherthan the ear, of Mrs. A at parting, and this courtesy is no less a falsehood, in fact, than is the conventional 'Missis be out.' In fact, when caught in the toils of the protracted caller missis is out of patience, out of temper and devoutly wishes she were out of the house. And there is one peculiar past—the being who converts another's parlor to an ash bin in order to unload her mind—goes about dumping her mental debris. I sometimes think that society women should convene, devise a code as to what, is good form, restrict ordinary calls to fifteen minutes and generally strike for freedom."

The question of the working woman is one on which there is bound to be a diversity of opinion. The political economist, with an ample income of his own, looking at the subject from an impersonal point of view, is apt to say that women have lowered wages, and that in communities where women are the bread winners-^-as in places where women work in mills and factories —the men belonging to them are notoriously shiftless and worthless. Relieved of the support of their families men have less incentive to labor.

On the other hand, the working ^otnan, looking syt the q^^io^fto^fee^i^ense^

wm say ihtitthe opening of almost every occupation to women has done nothing but good. That the woman who ate the bitter bread of dependence in other days, who was half starved, illy clad, is now as free to make a living as any man, and her achievements and earnings are only measured by her own abilities.

Aside from this view of the subject it is interesting to note the influence the working women has had upon the rest of the world of women. It has been like a pebble cast into a pool whose ripples have spread in every direction until they have reached even women of fashion, who stand upon the further shore. No one can doubt that she has dignified labor. Almost every family, from the highest to the lowest, has some woman in it who has either from choice" or the force of circumstances become a working woman. The example of so n-kny women so occupied with the practical affairs of life has been contagious. It has deepened and broadened the purposes and aims of all womankind. There are few even of the favored daughters of fortune who have neither to toil nor to spin, who have not some serious interest in either club or study or philanthropy with which they concern themselves.

The pace that kills a business woman is the work she does at home. Good, hard, faithful attention to business never killed anyone, man or woman. Worry and the "seeing to things" idea—these are the two nails in the business woman's coffin.

The "seeing to things" idea is distinctly feminine. No man ever had it. Every woman is born with it.

Men sit in a street car and watch the driver of a truck groan and tug and try to get his wheels off the track and not a man will move to help that driver or even sigh in sympathy. Every woman in the car is edging and peering and wishing she dared to go out on the platform and "see to that truck."

That's the thing that kills women. They try to carry the world on their shoulders and they don't realize that the world is a great deal better off without their puny strength under it.

Business women try to do too many kinds of things. They are, most of them, "jills of all trades." When a business man gets up in the morning he takes his bath, goes into the dining room and eats his breakfast, kisses his family good-bye and goes down Lwn to work, like a sensible man. The business woman—do yon know her 1 do.

I'll tell what the business woman does. She gets up early and goes into the children's room and fusses around for half an hour or so. If you ask her what she is doing she'll say she's "seeing to things."

She hires a servant—and waits upon her. She pays a dressmaker—and sits np nights studying fashion books for a new way to hare a drees made.

She bays a hat—and takes It home and tears it all to pieces and makes ii vrer again.

She dictates to a typewriter—and then takes the "copy" and corrects It herself. She works herself ill over something she

do and ought not to do and takes a ru&ful pleasure in a martyred spell of ilhi^ss.

N

Mi:

Sne worries aboutother people's troubles, shfirets over other people's children, she alrilpst takes medicine for other people's headaches mid she puts all her friends into nervous irritation trying to "see to them."

If the business woman is worth one-half her jsalary she puts all these things out of herfnind at the office.

Tile principal of the Mount Vernon school for girls, Miss Lelia Lockwood, in discussing the matter of dress for schoolgirls, expresses gratification at the interest parents are manifesting in the subject. "I find now," says she, "that there are few corsets, few high-heeled shoes and a large propoHion of sensible gowns worn by the girls. If I were to make suggestions for school dress, I should say that it would be advifable to have light materials. Light garnlents of serge or cashmere should be worn, and clothes of extra warmth for outdoors. Children dressed too warmly complain of the heat of the schoolroom andlsk to have windows opened, which is impossible. White aprons for little girls keep them always fresh and dainty. If it is inculcated that a soiled apron or hair ribbon shows a lack of refinement, they soon acquire habits of daintiness in the cire 6f their clothes. One thing I should like to emphasize is that it is unfortunate that children are obliged to wear out clothes which were made for 'best' in the schoolroom. It would seem to be much better to give them away to poorer relatives and keep always simple gowns for every-day wear."

We impress those about us by what we live and are, not by what we believe. What child ever took on low, sweet tones while listening to loud, harsh ones Was the love of perfect truthfulness ever strengthened by witnessing deception in those itf authority? True, some escape through natural tendencies too strong-to be uprooted by example, yet the rule remains that each human being is largely the product of the education that begins at the cradle and is continued all through the period 6f home life.

This being true, how much depends on those to wlom God entrusted the world's happiness surely they need the love, the patience', tie tender sympathy that can be 'perfected only in a consecrated life.

It is not a cruel task, a weary work, that has been given woman. Her heart's highest neejls are best met by love. She is her best aid truest self when lost to all else but that which will give happiness to

brightened and the way made smoother for tender feet, A true woman can hardly claim much sym{ athy for that which may seem hard, if ii be done for one she loves. It was God' plan for the race that there should be .rys and Ruths and all the long list of ble women to influence for good those about them. They cannot get away from this need of humanity for their love and aithfulness, and He who gave them their mission will help them to fulfill it. Ther is no cause for murmuring, no room for nplaint, for it is a joy to every truly worn nly nature to give of the best that she tssesses and her recompense is that she i! not impoverished thereby.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Tennessee has made lobbying a felony punishable by from two to five years in prison.

The taxable wealth of the colored population of the United States is over $300,000,000.

Cabbage is said to be a cure for intoxication. Natives of Egypt eat boiled cabbage before their other food if they intend to drink wine after dinner.

If an express train, moving at the rate of forty-five miles an hour, were to stop suddenly it would give the passengers a shock equal to that of falling from a height of fifty-four feet.

In Australia the man who loses both his hnnds in an accident can claim the whole of his life insurance money, on the ground that he has lost the means of maintaining himself. Loss of the right hand reduces the claim from 70 to 80 per cent of the total.

A shrewd grocer in St. Louis has hit upon a novel way of increasing his trade. He sends a female representative to the houses of his patrons to take the morning orders, and she suggests lots of nice aijd expensive things that just hit the fancy of customers.

In the city of Durango, Mexico, is an iron mountain 640 feet high, and the iron is from 60 to 75 per cent pure. The metallic mass spreads in all directions for a radius of three or four miles. The entire deposit is sufficient to supply all the iron required in the world for 1,000 years.

This is the sign hung out in an Iowa city: "I am the father of twenty-six children! No twins. I aiQ also a cobbler and need work. If I have served my country well it is evidence that I will mend your shoes well. One good turn deserves another. My shop is in the rear of Caldwell & Lanier's. Let me half-sole those. J. M.

It is well known to naturaliststhat when the hen has laid an egg she immediately kicks out with one leg, as if to give official validity to the procedure. Acting uport this known custom of the hen an Illinois inventor has perfected a device by means of which the kick registers its date upon every egg, so that they may tell their own story in the market.

A few years ago a struggling writer sent a story to an eastern publication. Time passed on and it failed to appear in print, but in the meantime the writer had achieved fame. A few '^".ars later he received a Jattep jjfrcghalnf^ fi.Tyiat.pnr story wYKten ten years ago. The letter read: "We paid you (8 for the inclosed story. It will cost you $250 to keep it out of print." And the writer was in such a hurry that he wired the amount to the publication.

MR. MOODY COUNSELS DIVORCE.

Thinks Wives Should Not Hesitate if Their Complaint Is ust. Mr. Moody's fearless utterances concerning the purifying in fluence of divorce has naturally stirred /uinking Boston its depths. Addressing women who wives, he said in effect, at Tremont Temple, that if they have just complaint against their husbands they should seek for divorce at once. Mr. Moody immedi ately anticipated the accusation that he was attacking the integrity of family life by adding that a lady had said to him "If you don't stop preaching that, you will break up homes." He then explained that it is for the upbuilding of the home and the defense of family honor that he spoke.

Mr. Moody declared his conviction, and most men and women of honest heart believe the same thing, that women have a right to say what their domestic condition shall be. It is really to prevent divorce, not to promote it, that the great popular preacher spoke. It is certainly not disintegrating to family life to preach an expansion of the old chivalric idea that a man's honor in monogamous marriage r^sts with his wife, and that his own behavior concerns her quite as much as hers concerns him. Not even the most conservative critics can object to this advice given to wives in Boston to decline to countenance further conditions not only illegal, but against both private and pub lie safety and happiness. Paul said very much more to the Corinthians than Moody has said to the Bostonians.

PROPER.

The proper kind of wedding ring is quite narrow, but heavy thick through. The proper kind of handkerchief to have is of very f**e linen, just simply hemstitched, with your initials handembroide kl in one corner.

The proper kind of a coiffure is a figure eight, either low or half high, accompanied with a parted front taken back loosely and pushed forward toward the face. To soften the effect, long side-combs are put in with the teeth toward the front.

The proper kind of a glove to wear is a heavy dogskin one like a man's, for your tailor-made gown or shopping, white glace four-buttoned kid ones, stitched with black, for other fancier day-time occasions, and white or light-colored suede mousquetaire for evening wear.

The proper kind of a shoe, this winter, has the "bull-dog" toe. Calf-skin laced ones for walking and street wear, patent leather buttoned ones, with kid uppers— never cloth—for church, teas or dressier outdoor wear, and the duchease slipper or light colored Oxford for house wear. ln-

TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAB.

door shoes have no tips, outdoor ones bav®straight tips the pointed tip is passe. The proper kind of side comb to have is\ at least four inches long, curved and of. unornamented tortoise shell. Some handsome ones have very beautiful borders of open work on the upper edge, all cut froas one piece of shell. Silver, gold and bejeweled ones became so common from, their tawdry imitations they soon weredropped by refined women.

GOOD-BYE.-

We say it for an hour or for years We say It smiling, say it choked with tears We say It coldly, say It with a kiss, And yet we have no other word than this:

Good-bye.

We have no dearer word for our heart's friend For bim who journeys to the world's far eiul And scars our soul with going thus we say. And unto him who stops but o'er the way

Good-bye.»

Alike to those we love and those we hate. We say no more iu parting. At life's gate. To him who passes tut beyond earth's sight*. We cry as to the wanderer for a night:

Good-bye.
