THE MAIL'S LIBRARY CONTEST. In another column will be found full particulars of a contest for three libraries for the public schools, together with other prizes offered enterprising boys and girls who will interest themselves in this contest We believe this will be of a great advantage to the public schools and to The Mail's readers in this city, and that it will benefit us by bringing the paper iu still closer relations with teachers, parents and pupils. \V« hope to have The Mail reach every home in Terre Haute that it does now visit, and we believe that once there its foothold will be secure.
WILL BE A CREAT PRESIDENT. William McKinley is destined, if his life is spared to him, to make a great and good president of these United States. His long and useful public career, singularly free from scandals and charges of corruption, his devotion to his wife, his un affected love and respect for his mother, all mark him as a grand man. His record iu all these respects, after a career of thirty years and over in the glare of public life, make of him a man loving and lovable. With all his personal popularity before his nomination for the presidency, no presidential candidate except Benjamin Harrison ever grew so rapidly in popular esteem as did he during the months he was constantly before the people as a candidate. His magnificent cabinet selections stamp him as wise and conservative, and there is every reason to believe that the 4th of March saw the American people enter upon an era of prosperity that will rival, if not equal, all former periods. George Alfred Townsend, writing from Washington to the Philadelphia Times, the day following the inauguration, makes the following estimate of McKinley "McKinley, a life-long attendant on church, made easy by conforming, awaiting sacramentals and sermons, docile even as a young boy in the army, the coffee^ server and bread carrier, the staff officer Itho pioneered Sheridan to Crook that critical day below Winchester, a patient laborer over his mail and congressional studies, and for thirty .years an addresser of courts, school house meetings, conventions, congress and mass meetings, graduated yesterday speaker of the presidential valedictory. "He is an unique harmony in the low, plaintive chords. Moral courage has been his animating and sustaining talent. His nature was mild and not worrying to itself. He set a task and sat before it, and when it was done, slowly and faithfully, his worser tempers were all chastened and he arose purged, tired, grateful, and rubbed against the world with inquiring, sympathetic brotherhood. His large, tired eyes, which have peculiar lights because they reflect, rather than flash their expression. are the key to his disciple mind. In an age of forwardness and specialty and self-esteem he lias every reverence, as for his presidential forerunners, for his opponents, fort lie successful and the unsuccessful. for his early humble friends, his aged parent, his health-impaired wife. "No sigh of complaint can be heard or inferred from him. He thinks he is happy when Others look on him as afflicted. He belongs to the supernally kind people in Dickens' tales, those who seem to hRV2 nothing to do but to entertain and console others. And yet McKinley, who quit the army without coveting the universal brevet of general, has carried a good, heavy load of ambition for thirty years. "Spite of his want of brute force, the patient reserve of lu^ powers, the steadying of his character by discipline, his unwritten programme of moral methods and
observances, his denials of
indulgence have made those iu
circle feel since McKinley was a boy that he felt the beckoning of large destinies and was likely to be history's protege. "McKinley's education was arrested by the war first and family poverty next, both of which are wars. He had barely got into Meadville College wheu his village raised its company aud drew him into the march. He had hardly got into the first year at the Albauy, New York, law school when his sister, a public school teacher, drew him hack to take the vacant place in a law firm, the cause of him moving to Canton. It is pathetic to think of the little orbit of his life, like a sheep or goat which browses around the domestic lot. yet finds nutriment and friendship and is bv the children beloved. His stock was pure, his heart was cordial, his soldier life was voluntary and it taught him com radeship ami orticerhood, his admiration
college and learning never was gorg v, or glutted and remains in his hnaibl. heart like a fairy well of which he one tasted and would wish again to drink, the campaign hascallM him off. the drum has beat upon the poor scholar's ear ani he is president of the I nited Mate b.* cause he h^st his t*d neat ion. "The lesson of McKinley is Amer.oi education by afllnity ami action, eh m» p! niug the cause of his neighbor lather*, which his extended syns have fell to be the national cause I'tilike Henry Clay. William l. K.-dcy
ists he has never drawn the sword and met wrath with wrath. His gospel has not been preached with Mahomet's recoiling indignation, bnt with the pastoral beatitudes of the Christian amateur. The old shibboleth-roaring protectionists are dead. This is the voice of young Samuel saying from the congregation 'As for me and my house we will serve the fai.h we were taught.' "McKinley has been followed to Washington by his kin. They sat around him as he spoke like the disciples, many of whom were .blood brethren of their Master and children of His mother. The beauti ful life of the Irish septs or clans is revealed in the clan McKinley where will you find better citizens, less rapacious less discontented, less stuck up Does he think there are people mean enough to criticise his mother coming here? Of course there are. A newspaper observer said it was very bad taste to bring all these sisters-in-law, etc. I replied by saying: 'If it was Queen Victoria's coronation every one of the kin and the Batten burg expectants to boot would be present, and only their omission would be called bad taste. "McKinley is ashamed of none of his own people. The contentious Chuzzlewits, the mighty Dombeys, who impale each other upon a little ingot of nasty fortune, may respect everybody but their own. "McKinley's mother is to him Madame Mere. His wife is Josephine and Marie Louise in one. He stands this day at the head of the Celtic blood of the world. The sceptre in his grip commands more people than Napoleon Bonaparte controlled in the height of his power. Though opposed to their policies, McKinley's election was hailed by every nation in Europe. He stands in the fore front of the rulers of civilization. He made his own campaign. He never strove to. rouse a rabble or reflect upon a beaten countryman."
MR. BRYAN has become quite a popular idol among a great many of his supporters, but recent events show that he hasn't already replaced all the old favorites. The state of Arkansas recently purchased a large portrait of Mr. Bryan done in oil, and on the occasion of his visit to Little Rock it was attempted to take down the picture of Jeff. Davis, hanging in the house of representatives, and put the Bryan portrait temporarily in its place. It raised a great commotion in the legislature, and the motion to substitute the Bryan picture was defeated. So as between Jeff. Davis and Mr. Bryan, in Arkansas, the feeling is rather in favor of the dead than the quick.
THE legislature which closed its labors Monday night seems to have done its work well. It passed many good laws, refused to pass many bad ones, and inaugurat some reforms in state methods of busine.-' that will redound to the credit of those who were instrumental in their passage. The building and loan law, the prison reform law, the three.cent fare law for Ind'V anapolis and the child labor law are note bly good measures. The right to attach Honorable to one's name on account of having served in the legislature would be coveted instead of despised if all sessions were as satisfactory as that just closed.
THE times have been, and are, hard, and business men and workingmen, and capitalists, as well, have been discouraged and in trouble. But it has been the darkness before the dawn of a new day of prosperity. And every one can help bring it along, too, by talking it. Half the troubles we have in life are the result of our own imaginations, and if the people, and the newspapers, too, had not talked so much gloom and discouragement, a great deal of it would never have come to pass.
THE Washington correspondent of the Chicago Record, talking of John K. Gowdy and his appointment to the Paris consulate, says: "'Oom' Gowdy, of Indiana, having a cinch on his own office, is trying to get places for his friends." Indiana is entitled to a whole lot of places, and it is safe to say that if Mr. Gowdy has his way a whole lot of Indiana men will be drawing salary from Uncle Sam for the next four years.
IF the dispatches from Havana to the effect that the inauguration of President McKinley has led to the new policy of Spain, that the Cuban revolution must be ended at all hazzards, even if the island be sold to the insurgents at their own price, then the coming of the new administration is a blessing to the cause of humanity. Humanity has demanded for many months that the war there should be ended.
A
Cleveland
woman has brought suit
against her father-in-law for damages because he filled her mouth with plaster of paris and thus prevented her from talking. Au impartial jury will certainly find in her favor, as it would for any woman who was prevented from talking when she wanted to do so.
THKRK are more people in Europe that should be called "unspeakable," if the news from Crete this morning is true, to the effect that the powers are to send ten thousand troops to Crete to coerce Greece into withdrawing from the position she has taken in the matter.
Next
Wednesday Mr. Corbett, of Cali
fornia,and Mr. Fitssimmons, of Australia, will do battle to decide which is the most gentlemanly champion pugilist. It looks as if that would be a hard question to decide. It should be a tough fight.
Now if they will jusfc let up on Mark Hanna for a little while, and give him a chance, we would be Iu a position to enjoy .rood times.

A NEW BUSINESS.
An Actrco Adds to Her Income by Bablot Cat*. Miss Bertine Robison, well known to all theater goers, adds to her profession of actress the unique business of raising fine breeds of cats. She declares that they are remunerative and not overexacting, besides affording a perpetual source of entertainment.
Her own venture was largely the result of accident, but she is inclined to urge the business as one peculiarly well suited to women.
Two years ago a friend sailing for Europe left her two pet Angoras in Miss Robison'* care, and from that nucleus has developed a paying business. Fine cats are always in demand, and the raising of blooded stock has proved that th6y as well as dogs can be relied upon to provide a satisfactory income.
The one essential to success is genuine affection for the animals and an ability to regard them as individuals, not as a mere means of barter. Miss Robison herself is an enthusiast and declares that every one of her kittens has a separate place in her affections. Some require coddling others stand in need of some slight discipline. The successful kennel keeper must study all these points and must be in sympathy with her work. But, given this one quality, all else should follow as a matter of course, and as each healthy kitten will fetch from $15 to $25 it is not difficult to estimate the approximate return from kennels kept in a healthy condition.
As a matter of course, the country is the only possible place for the rearing of any number of cats, but a small in closure will provide for many families, so that the business seems one peculiarly adapted to women living in the suburbs or owning small plots of ground. Warm houses, in which to sleep inclosed sunny spaces, in which to take dainty airings, and a free, open space, in which to run when they are sufficiently strong, are all the material comforts required. To be healthy the kittens must have sun

and freedom but, the conditions pro* vided, the mothers can be trusted to know when they should be kept under shelter anc1 when allowed to play upon the grass or in the open air.
Miss Robison's own kennels are in the center of a big orchard that borders on a lake. In winter they are kept warm with steam. In summer they are protected from the too hot sun by the overhanging trees. They are kept scrupulously clean, and there is little sickness among the many families they house. Angoras are delicate, however, and require extreme watchfulness.
In Miss Robison's own words, "they have sensitive natures and must be studied. My own kittens," she says, "are all personally known to me. During many months I am necessarily unable to give them personal attention, but as they are never sold under 9 months of age I find time to know them all. In my winter home there are always several on hand, and it is curious to note how they differ in temperament and tastes. Snowdrop, this pure white beauty, is my own pet, but there are others that attach themselves to other members of the family. They are singu larly intelligent and as affectionate as possible. After the first nine months they require very little care, but must always be kept on a regular diet. Oysters ore extremely dangerous food and, oddly enough, they love lettuce and spinach, which greens keep them in a healthy state. All cats are clean, but the Angoras peculiarly so, for which reason they make desirable pets, and I do most positively assert that raising them can be made lucrative without any labor that is either hard or unfit for women to do. At most the only help required would be a good man or boy for a portion of each day. Personal supervision and an interest in the work will do more toward success than any number of hired assistants."
MARY GAUC.
NOTE AND COMMENT.
Mrs. A. L. Haskell, mayor of Gay lord, Kan., has managed municipal affairs so well that the town is out of debt. How many cities that have men for mayors can give so good a report?
At the last election in Philadelphia five women were chosen as school directors. The more women there are on boards of education the freer the public school system will be from the slimy domination of party politics.
Miss Pauline Woodward, who raises violets for sale upon a plot of land at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., last year sold $8.000 worth of these popular flowers. 3fce borrowed the money to start with a few
years ago. A newspaper paragraph f*TT» us that the woman manager of a nisurwee company gets |6,0« a year, bope it is true. E. Ac'j

HOW TO FIND OUT.
Fill a bottle or common water glass with urine and let it stand twenty-four hours a sediment or settling indicates a diseased condition of the kidneys. When urine stains linen it is positive evidence of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire to urinate or pain in the back, is also convincing proof that the kidneys and bladder are out of order.
WHAT TO DO.
There is comfort in the knowledge so often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, the great kidney remedy, fulfills every wish in relieving pain in the back kidneys, liver, bladder and every part of the urinary passages. It corrects inability to hold urine and scalding pain in passing it, or bad effects following use of liquor, wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant necessity of being compelled to get up many times during the night to urinate. The mild and the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon realized. It stands the highest for its wonderful cures of the most distressing cases. Sold by druggists, price fifty cents and one dollar. For sample bottle and pamphlet, both sent free by mail, mention The Mail and a send your fr.ll postoffice address to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghampton, N. Y. The proprietors of this paper guarantee the genuineness of this offer.
