ON THE QUI VIVE.

The postoffice and revenue collectorahip fight in this city has taken on anew phase. Editor Allen, of the Express, left yesterday afternoon for Washington, and it is not beyond the pale of possibilities that ha will return with the assurance of receiving the appointment of postmaster, when Postmaster Donham's term shall have expired. Mr. Faris's mission to the city last week was to settle the fight in this city if possible, but he returned without achieving his object. He admitted to friends in the city that he had thrown the postmastership into the pool with the revenue collectorship, and would give it out with the co-operation of Mr. Fairbanks in the hope of settling the factional fight in this city for the best interest of the party. It is pretty generally admitted that if the revenue office comes to this city it will be to Judge Henry, because it is all that Col. Thompson asks of the president. Col. Thompson's wishes with him are paramount, because he did more than any other one man, not actively engaged in the fight, to instruct for Major McKinley in the state convention. Without his influence the state convention would probably have refused to commit itself to any other than the supposed Indiana candidate, Benjamin Harrison. Any one in attendance on the state convention knows that Col. Thompson's influence carried the convention for the Ohio candidate. Mr. McKinley knows this, and if it be true that this appointment is to be made agreeably to the wishes of the oldest and most prominent Republican in Indiana politics, where can the revenue collectorahip go but to Terre Haute, and to Judge Henry? The latest story from Washington is that, as the postmastership has been thrown into the pool by Congressman Faris, in order to keep the collectorahip here, the junior senator has interested himself in the Express editor, and because of this has the trip to Washington resulted. It is not beyond reason, therefore, that news may come from Washington in a short time to the effect that "all factional differences

,,(« Oi'iert

In Terre Haute have been settled by the appointment selection of Judge Henry as revenue collector and Editor Allen, of the Express, as postmaster."

And still "no sail from day today" iuthe police commissionerahip matter. It was announced on Monday that the committee of Ave to whom the governor had referred the matter of selecting the commissioners had met, agreed to disagree, and sent their report to the governor. It was also reported that the names auggestied b& the committee, but not recommended, were Dr. W. O. Jenkins, Joseph G. Barney, Republicans, and H. A. Urban, Democrat. The suggestion that Mr. Urban might be given the place, caused some of the wild silverites to froth at the mouth. He distinguished himself in the last campaign by his advocacy of the gold standard as against the free silver platform and caudi date of the Democrats, and it is said was one of the twelve expelled from the Jackson club for failiug to support the candidates of the Democratic party.

It is denied that this board has been appointed or reoommeuded, but there are a great mauy reasons for believing that this will possibly be the one selected. It is intimated in some quarters that this would mean the elevation of Captain Hyland to the superintendency, the retention of Superintendent Meagher on the force in an inferior capacity, and there would be the same list of officers as now. Others insist that the appointment of this board would not mean the general conduct of the force as at present, although it would probably mean the promotion of Captain Hyland. The governor has done nothing as yet in the matter so far as known, and goes about it as collectedly as if thirty-live or forty thousand people were not awaiting his first move in anxiety.

Councilman Dean MfcLaughlln and Col. Thos. W. Harper are home from a prospecting trip to the Pacific coast. While enroute they dropped off incidentally to witness the boxing bout between the late James J. Corbett and Mr. Robert Fltsslmmons, at Carson City, Nevada. Mr. McT*aughliu was a Corbett enthusiast, while the Colonel was a Fltsslmmons man. It is apparent, therefore that their explanations of "how it happened" do not coincide, but the one point they do agree .upon is that it was a irreat fight, one ^»rth crossing the continent to see. There [s another Terre Hautean present at the fight, but they declined to state to the reporter who interviewed them who it was.

Mr. McLaughlin was out of the city and didn't read his copy of The Mail or he wouldn't have said that. There were just three Terre Haute men at the fight, and thoir names were printed In The Mall the week they were there. "If you see It In The Mail, It's so."

It is given out by some of the federal employes here, notably the deputy revenue collector aud the deputy postmaster, that all the local offices are under the civil service rules. Including those named, and that the change In the official heads will not cause any other changes. So far as Q. V. knows the present, employes in both branches of the government service are thoroughly competent, but he is of the opinion that one tof these fine mornings there will be a rude awakening from some of these pleasant dreams of continuous office-holding that are now entertained. Q. V. believe* that when the Democrats are In control of the government that their friends should have the positions that are to be given out and the same way with the Republicans—and he doesn't think it such

a crime to seek office as some of the Mugwumpian critics profess to believe it to be. There are offices to fill, and they should above everything else, be filled by compe tent men, and he does not think it to any man's discredit to have an honorable ambition to better his position in life by seen ring a government place, providing he is capable of filling the duties of the position to which he aspires The sneers and ridicule that are directed towards office seekers are ill-timed. There has been a whole lot of "monkey-doodle" business in this civil service, and it is doubtful whether if a vote was taken on the question, the article of civil service that is now placed before the public as the only genuine, with the trade mark blown in the bottle, would receive 10 per cent, of -the popular vote. If the people do not want it what right has a small class of would be reformers to insist that the people should have it. The people pay the freight" and they should have the right to select their own route. The attack on civil service in the senate this week means something more than appears on the surface. It means that if the whole system isn't legislated out of existence that such changes are to be made in it that an office-holding class is not to be created in this country, perpetuated beyond hope of redemption. Senator Allen, of Nebraska him in fact introduced a bill to repeal the civil-service laws and to do away with educational tests as a preliminary to entering the public service. The bill directs the heads of every government department to establish rules relative to appointments, with reference to the special fitness of applicants for the services required, and not with reference to educational st&ndards. It Is expressly provided that the lack of a university, college -or academic education shall in no case disqualify the applicant. The bill expresses the purpose of restoring to all United States citizens equal rights to appointment.

Talking of the farce of the civil service Q. V. knows of the case of a local letter carrier—a Democrat, by the way—rwho had during his term of service under a former postofflce the reputation of being one of the best men in the service, and popular with the patrons in his district. He was prompt, careful and accurate, and complaints against him were unknown. When civil service was introduced he took the examination in the hope of getting his old job back. He couldn't, however, give the cube root of times 27}£ reduced to sixths, or was unable to give the number of inhabitants in Johannesburg, Trans vaal Republic, or outline Cecil Rhodes policy in South Africa, or tome other question equally as foolish in connection

wlltFe&rrying the mail, and so ootttd flS®1 in Che meantime tlie Emporiif* womanil pass the examination. He could tell of the streets and numbers in Terre Haute, where he expected to carry mail, but that WHS too practical to enter consideration in the selection of mall carriers under civil service. There is whole lot of tommy rot indulged in about "spoilsmen," etc., and we'll have a surfeit of it now, that a bill has been introduced in the senate to do away with civil service as now conducted. Q. V. with a great many others hopes that the Allen bill may become a law and do away with the article of civil service that we are now furnished and introduce a civil service reform that will reform. 1

Who is it says that the sanitary policemen don't attend to their business,} Whoever says so is not posted. A very good illustration of the fact that, like the detec tlves, they never sleep, was furnished last week. In one of our leading manufacturing establishments Is a foreman who has been fixing up his stable, In one of the outlying residence districts. He hired a man to haul a couple of loads of ashes and cin dera from the place where he is employed to the alleys in the rear of his home, think ing to work that evening in putting in a new floor for the stable. It was after dinner that the teamster delivered the cin ders at the house, and when the horse owner arrived home in the evening he found a formal notice from a sanitary policeman to the effect that the cinders would have to be removed from the alley forthwith, or the offender would be pun ished according to law. You can't convince him now that the sanitary officers don't do their work promptly and properly.

Otto Helnl was Investigated by the board in charge of the Plainfleld Reform school yesterday, and from what can be gathered from the telegraphic report of the examination, the board will decide to adopt a vote of confidence In itself. The Express in its report of the case, says that when Mr. Heinl was on the stand he "was crossquestioned rather sharply by Mr. Ball, but did not deviate from his clear-cut version of what he claims to have seen." Mr. Ball who is editor of the Gazette, thinks, and has said in his paper, that Mr. Heinl is a big, cowardly brute—which is untrue, of course, and unjust—and he no doubt emphasised this opinion in his examination As a matter of local pride, Q. V. hopes that the Plainfleld board will not decide to banish Mr. Heinl any further away from civilisation than the island of Crete.

It was a great thing for the Indianapolis preachers to say a good word for the recent legislature, bnt when Dr. Hickman says good word for it as he did last Sunday It must mean that the legislature in question was more than an ordinary good body. So far as Q. V.'s recollection goes it Is the first legislative body, local, state or national the reverend gentleman has had good work for. Q. V. hastens to congratulate him on his judgment.

The' "public benefactors" who were going to give clothing away to our people will fold their tents like the Arab "to-

night," and silently steal away." What with lawyers' fees, taxes, and the opposition of those who agree with The Mail's stand, that such concerns should not be allowed to exist, the "public benefactors" have hwd a tough row to hoe here. Every cent of money that they have taken in here belonged to Terre Haute merchants, who will be here many moons after the "benefactors" have departed.

CRAY AND SILVER.

I had a love, dark-haired was she Her eyes were gray For sake of her, across the sea

I sailed away.

Death, sickness, tempest and defeat All passed me by With years came fortune fair and rest,

And rich was I.

Again for me the sun looked down Familiar skies I found my love her locks had grown

Gray as her eyes.

"Alas!" she sighed, "forget me, now No longer fair."

A dozen expert doctors testified that an Emporia, Kansas, woman had been so injured in a railroad accident that rAaternity must be to her at thing unknown. She got damages on this testimony, and the railroad appealed to the Supreme court, where, after years of waiting, the decision of the lower court has, just been affirmed

given birth to three children. From Jan. 1 up to Feb. 27th of this year the various English companies have lost. £2,000,000 in shipwrecks. The loss exceeds any estimate for the same period within twenty years, The estimate for the two months, according to the circular, is a low one, and it is thought that fully £500,000 will have to be added to the amount to make the figures correct, thus making in all the enormous loss of over 112,000,000 for the first days of this year.

James Dowell, the oldest actor in 5 England if not in the world, has just celebrated his ninety-third birthday. He is living in Plymouth, and has a vitality which shows that the stage i3 not necassarily destructive to the constitution.

The keel has been laid at Belfast, Ire land, of the greatest vessel that ever floated on the seas. It is to be called the Oceanic and will be launched about January 1st, 1898. The new vessel will be 704 feet In length, 80 feet beam and 58 feet deep. The famous Great Eastern was 680 feet long, 80 feet wide and the same depth as that of the new vessel. Within the last dozen years or so shipbuilding has made great progress. There are a half dozen ships afloat that approximate the proportions of the Great Eastern. Several of the immense ocean liners are over 600 feet long. But this is the first attempt to ex ceed the remarkable lines of the Great Eastern. The horse power of the Oceanic will be 60,000 and its bunkers will hold enough coal to steam around the world at the rate of twelve miles an hour.

It appears that the celebrity which Edi tor White, of the Emporia, Kansas Gazette, attained by his "What's the matter with Kansas?0 editorial was due in larger part to the discriminating judgment of his wife. The editorial was destined for the waste basket, as Mr. White, after writing it, looked upon it as "a touch beyond' even for the satirical columns of the Gazette, and laid it aside. While he was out of town one day his wife, who was temporarily in charge of the paper, came upon the manuscript and gave it to the printers for immediate use. The fame of the editorial the success of his book. "The real issue," have not exalted Mr. White in his own esteem. "I am a plain country editor," he says, and he was abashed at the prospect of making a speech before the Chicago Fellowship club, when entertained there...

The trial of Isadora Mulvaney, for the murder of John Tosser in Mulvaney's saloon at Sandford, on Christmas eve last, took place in the Circuit court this week, resulting in the acquital of the prisoner after the jury had been out all Tuesday night. As a result of this verdict, which was expected, the indictment against Noah Wolfe, who was implicated in the fight in the saloon, was dismissed. Tosser, was a bad man, and although the prosecution made a strong fight to convict Mulvaney, it was impossible. Mulvaney's attorneys were John O. Piety and A. J. Kelley. V':

HENRY SCHONEFELD DEAD.

A Well-Known Member of the City Council Dies—History of the Popular Young Man.

Henry Schonefeldt, member of the city council from the Sixth ward, died at his home on north Third street, yesterday afternoon, after a long illness, with consumption. He had suffered a long time with the disease, and last year went down to Old Mexico, where he has a brother engaged In the mining business, in the hope, that he would improve. He did not however, and returned home. Last fall he went to Colorado to spend the winter, still hoping to Improve In health, but again without avail. Recently he again visited his brother in Chihuahua, Mexico, and returned from there last Saturday after noon. He had to be carried to his home, and he never left his bed afterward. Deceased was thirty-one years of age, and was one of the most popular young men In the city. He was born and reared in the old Fourth Ward, which, as the new Sixth, he afterward represented in the city council. His popularity was well evinced in the election of 1894, where with an abnormal Democratic majority against him, it had been 188 in the previous election, he was elected as a Republican by a plurality of 48. He made a good councilman and served with distinction on a number of important committees. He had a wonderful faculty of making and keeping friends, and had his life been spared him he would have had a bright political future. His mother, three brothers and one sister survive him. He was a member of the Red

Men and A. O. U. W., and the funeral tomorrow afternoon will be conducted by these societies. The interment will be at Highland Lawn.

TWENTY-SEVENTH YEAR.

ABOUT WOMEN.

We get so tired of having dinned into our ears day in and day out the nonsense regarding what a woman should do— in fact, just where her particular sphere ends in other words, the boundary line of her privilege, not her possibilities. Whatever a woman is qualified to do, let her do it. Honest labor is respectable, whether it is performed by one sex or the other. The world owes everybody a living, and a woman must eat, drink, wear clothes and be sheltered just as a man must be.

The noblest and best men are eminently willing to give woman a place at their side in the mart of business, In the pulpit, In the forum, if need be. They are above petty jealousies they are willing to share their fruits of industry even with a woman they are glad when a woman makes a fortune they are the men who are the true protectors and defenders of the women, and not the narrow-minded, ignorant men who take the ground that women have no business out of their sphere.

Out of their sphere, forsooth! A woman is never out of her sphere when she is doing what is right. And if she is without means, it Is right for her to earn her living, no matter if she does it by lecturing, or preaching, or keeping store, or holding the plow, or swinging the ax, so long as it is a labor of which she is capable.

In any number of little things men have the advantage over women. In their style of dress, freedom in social and business life, etc., they are the envy of the women, and in one little particular, especially, would we be glad to emulate thfe examples of our husbands and brothers. When a man goes on a journey he may while away the necessary tediousness by entering into conversation with'his fellow-travelers, but the woman who is brave enough to address her seat mate without having first an Introduction oftentimes receives a snub for her pains.

A writer for one of our monthly magazines who has the same ideas on the subject says: "Should a woman Inform her neighbor at the dry goods counter that she has found a certain new lining for her frock most satisfactory the information would very likely be received with a haughty stare plainly declaring the suspicion that the informer gets a percentage on sales. There is small opportunity under such circumstances to love your neighbor as yourself*

The experiment has but to be tried to demonstrate to the graciously inclined woman that there is little room for her who wottld, even 1^ a small way, wish her sister woman good luck upon her way. Steamers in passing each other display a white flutter of handkerchiefs from the human freight aboard, but the wayfaring woman Is considered a fool If she Inclines to that sort of graclousness on land. And yet a woman Is not necessarily either disreputable or designing simply because she speaks to another woman without introduction. Graciousriess, however, need never suggest familiarity. A helpful word may be spoken with dignity and yet with kindly interest, and she who resents it is to be pitied for her lack of understanding. A gracious "Thank you," even if the wellmeant information is not needed, proclaims the gentlewoman.

Those daughters who show a propensity for making pretty, fancy things for their own adornment are too often met with ridicule on the part of other less gifted members of the family. There Is nothing to which the average woman Is most sensitive than criticism of her clothes, and many times she defers to the tastes of others when she would be much better dressed by following her own ideas as to what is becoming to her. No woman can study another's figure as that person en® do it herself, and It is neither vain nor foolish to give time and attention to such matters. No one would think of criticising a housewife for doing all she can to make her home beautiful, and as from somebody's point of view she is, or ought to be, the most beautiful adornment in it, she will not make a mistake In giving as much attention to herself as to anything else.

In moderation, therefore, It should be part of every girl's bringing up to learn bow to make herself as pretty as possible. Instead of spending time on elaborate fancy work, it would be much pleasanter and more profitable to occupy one's spare moments in fashioning pretty things for the coming season.

For the benefit of those who do not have time to go about and see what costume artists are exhibiting as fashionable a few suggestions are given below.

Two yards of inch-wide insertion, one yard of fine nainsook, and two yards of embroidery will make one of the prettiest novelties of the season as well as one of the most useful trimmings for plain bodices. The nainsook is laid in fine tucks in strips of about two inches in width, which are alternated with strips of embroidery insertion. The whole is then formed Into a sort of yoke that opens in the back and reaches to a line just below the bust. The strips run horizontally across the bodice and the whole is edged all around with embroidery. A collar Is formed of the insertion with an embroidery heading. It should set perfectly smooth across the corssge, and may be made to do so by repeated trying* on and altering. After one has bPMi it will be found very easy to another, and by varying the materials an entirely new effect may be produced.

VirginlA. the little 2-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. R. Peddle, died Tuesday afternoon.
