MAN ABOUT TOWN.

There is no doubt that a great many people are simply taking it for granted that the times are barrier than usual for them. The city, and the whole country for that matter, needs to brace up. Men need to quit kicking and go to hustling for something—any old thing—to do. So long as the nation thinks it is industrially sick it will 1x5 so. As the condition of the mind of the individual has much to do with determining his physical condition, so the state of popular thought on the question of business is bound to affect our national economic health. No man should take advantage of the widespread complaint of hard times to indulge his laziness or excuse his shiftlessness. He should make an honest effort to belie the general hard luck story. If earnings are small nowadays, so is the cost of whatever a person has to buy. A dollar will go as far now as $2 would when times were better. There is no denying the fact that we might be better off than we are, neither is there any denying the fact that we might be worse off than we are. Terre Haute will very probably return to her usual activity as soon as the season opens, and wherever a croaker tries to break into the chorus of prosperity there a head should be cracked.

During the past week Chas. H. Ehrmann, president of the Ehrmann Coal Co., has been interviewed on the subject of returning prosperity. He says that in his opinion much more is being made of the hard times than there is really any excuse for. Mr. Ehrmann thinks many men are grumbling about not having any work, while as a matter of fact they are not willitv*,to accept whatever comes to their hands. \do. He states that his company has enjoW a good business since confidence has in some measure returned to the manufacturing interests of the country, and that he is now about t^hegin extensive improvements at one of his mines, it being probable that the work will require the employment, at once of seventy-five additional men. The coal produced by the Ehrmann Coal Co., is for steam purposes and there is no demand for it except when factories are in operation. It is used by those establishments for the purpose of generating steam and when they are idle of course they need none of the fuel. Mr. Ehrmann says that before the election it was hard for him to find a market for his product, but that since protection triumphed the inquiry for coal has become active ami promises a larger business than his company has ever done heretofore.

Probably the pluckiest woman that was ever in Terre Haute is Mrs. Hill Dennis, wife of the well-known balloonist. Her husband has a record for bravery second to no inai\'s in the country and his wife is quite as courageous as he. Hill has been in the balloon business for years. lie has made hundreds of ascensions in and about Terre Haute and generally escaped uninjured. However, a few times the aeronaut has been unfortunate and met with mishaps of varying degrees of severity. At Dana he came down on a church steeple, slid along the almost perpendicular incline to the roof and rolled off on the ground. In Pierson township he attempted to shoot his baloon out from among the trees during a high wind. The big canvas dnrt-ed clear of the trees, but was caught in a current of air traveling at right angles with its course and Hill, hanging in the trnpez. far below, was dragged into the limbs, torn loose and hurled to the ground a distance of twenty feet. He was unconscious for a time but soon recovered. North of this city the! balloonist met with a bad fall and the report reached here that he was dead. He was met at the depot by a number of his friends, among them a number of newspaper men. Hill was not dead. He was

laid out. though, and had a number of ribs

by A man who ran along after her and placed the trapez bar under her as she left the ground, holding to what is called the "life line." On this particular occasion the attendant did his work poorly. He got the bar too far back and Mrs. Dennis, in a spasmodic effort to lift herself into place, caused the bar not only to slip entirely from under her but to fly upward and catch over the hoop to which the parachute ropes were attached. There the bar held fast, leaving Mrs. Dennis—by no means a light woman—hanging by the little life line, while her baloon mounted rapidly heavenward. The immense concourse of spectators saw what had happened and an agonized oh! filled the air. Mrs. Dennis clung to the life line with a death grip. The baloon ascended a thousand feet or more and slowly floated away. The people followed. Everybody on the fair ground forgot all interests but that supreme one of a woman at a great altitude, clinging to a small rope for her life.

It is not known how long the balloon was monta: city.

in the air, but by and by it began to fall and cheer after cheer arose as the people realized that there was a chance for the balloonist to escape death. At last the ponderous canvas dropped within a few feet of the ground and Mrs. Dennis released her hold. She fell into a dozen or more arms and cheerfully announced that she was "all right." Near by there was a pile of lumber. Mrs. Dennis, assisted by friendly hands, climbed upon it and addressed the people briefly. She thanked them for their intense concern and assured them that she would be ready for her turn on the following day. This caught on tremendously and the air vibrated with cheers like it vibrates when a cannon speaks.

As the plucky woman stood up above the heads of the mass of humanity, it was observed that her hands were bleeding and an examination revealed that the life line had cut them to the bone.

This is the season of the bicycle. If anybody in town who does not already ride and who is not learning will announce himself he will be regarded as a greater curiosity than a man in Washington who isn't after an office. At least that's the way it looks. Old men are monkeying with the developer of the hump back and the misshapen leg. Old women are, too. Young men, young women, boys and girls and infants have had the habit for some years. It is astonishing with what fluency and technical erudition the average rider, male or female, can talk about his or her wheel. They are not content with making the bicycle balance and move along. They are not satisfied with knowing enough about it to propel themselves through the balmy air at the rate of from fifteen to twenty knots an hour—if "knots" will go as far inland as this. Certainly they are not. They are like an engineer in the respect that they do not regard themselves as thoroughly fit to have a place at the throttle until they understand the details of the machine. —,

It is amusing to hear a young girl discuss the mechanism of her bicycle. She knows all about "sprockets," "sprocketshanks," "chains," "tires." "valves," "forks," "frames," "gears," etc. It is said that on long runs in the country, or short runs in the city, the burden of the conversation among the riders is the mechanical minutiie of the wheel. One is almost, forced to the belief that the High School girls study English merely that they may discuss their bicycles with greater "clearness, elegance and force." If the wheel continues to employ their faculties and absorb their interest, they will probably forget to fall in love, and therefore will not take to the distressing vice of spring poetry. Whatever may be said against the bicycle—the machine that has caused all modern civilization to lose its head—it is infinitely to be pre ferret! to immature love and immaturer*verse.

tJood Sense.

"I can't afford it," said a housekeeper recently to the clerk who was urging her to buy a cheap brand of baking powder. "Can't afford it?" he said: "Why it does not cost half as much as Cleveland's baking powder that you ordered." "Perhaps not at first," she replied," but one poor cake or pan of bitter biscuit that the folks won't eat, or that would make them sick if they did, will more than make the difference."

Right. Cleveland's baking powder is the best and most economical in the end.
