ON THE QUI VIVE.

The hatchet seems to have been buried, and the contending factions in the Republican majority in the city council got together at a special meeting held Tuesday night, and adopted a report on the sewer question which relegates Mr. Cole and his plans to the rear—in fact makes Mr. Cole a back number. The report was signed by Messrs. Vaughan, McLaughlin and Young, of the sewer committee, and Messrs. Briggs, Graham and Seeburger. of the streets and alley committee, and the council adopted the report by a vote of nineteen to one. Mr. Lark ins, who hasn't been forniust anything for some time, not only refused to vote for the committee report, but also refused to vote for a motion made by Mr. Fuqua thanking the joint committee for their efforts in the sewer matter,

The committee adopted the rainfall plan of Mr. Gray's, providing for a rainfall of one and one-half inches per hour. It also recommended that the Hulman street sewer be built by constructing the main trunk in and through Hulman street as far east as Fourteenth street, with a branch sewer from the Hulman street sewer at Eighth street, extending as far north as Poplar street. Also, a branch of the Hulman street sewer, extending north on Fourteenth street as far as Oak street, ence east on Oak to Fifteenth street, ence north to the Vandalia railroad. A branch sewer shall also be built on Liberty avenue from Fifteenth street to the city limits. It recommended that that portion of the canal sewer now occupying private property between Third street and Second street be rebuilt, by constructing a sewer through Chestnut street to Third street, thence north on Third street to the intersection of the present canal sewer that a branch be built from the canal sewer northeast through Lafayette avenue to

Elm street, thence east through Elm street to Thirteenth street, thence north on Thirteenth to city limits, with a branch extending east on Locust street from Thirteenth street to city limits. The commit tee also recommended the construction of a branch sewer from Seventh and Elm streets north on Seventh to Lafayette avenue, thence northeast on I^afayette avenue to city limits with a branch extending north on Ninth street to city limits. The city engineer was ordered to prepare plans for these sewers as recommended in these reports, at hisearlie t. convenience. The clerk was ordered to advertise for bids for this work, to be received fluid IQiat trill iawT tfgti£"S this needed sewer im provement. under way, and now that it has reached this stage it is likely that it will be pushed to a conclusion. It will necessitate the expenditure of thousands and thousands of dollars among the work ingmen of Terre Haute, and will do a vast amount of good in every direction.

At midnight to-night the transfer of the postoffice from Democratic to Republican control was to have been made, but alas and alack, the slow going senate has thus far failed to confirm Mr. Benjamin's appointment. The government commission which Mr. Dotiham holds makes the lith of May the end of his term, but those in charge of the transfer of such offices prefer to have the transfer take place either on the 1st or l.Uh at midnight. But the president proposes while the senate disposes, and thus Mr. Benjamin may be an old, gray headed man before his confirmation is reached by that body. So far as Mr. Benjamin knows he will have but one appointment to make, that of deputy postmaster, and even then Mr. Patton, who uow holds the job down, does not agree with him. He thinks that his place is under the civil service rules, and there is likely to be a very decided clash of opinion whei. the new postmaster steps in.

All the other places in the service are under the department rules of civil service, and unless there is some ruliug made by the president- or postmaster general, th rowing the places open, there will be a great many disappointed persons in this vicinity, who have been looking for positions under the new regime. There are possibly more applicants for the position of janitor of the postoffice building, of which the postmaster is custodian, than for any other place in his gift. It is the easiest job to fill and perhaps for that reason there is such an unusual number of applicants.

There is a revival of oil and gas talk, since the discovery of oil near Petersburg, aud a number of moueyed men have manifested a disposition to again attempt to reach the oil fields which it is thought underlie this territory. Eight years ago when the l)iall well struck oil near the old Union depot, the city and the most of her people went "daffy" on the oil question, and companies almost without number were organised to drill for oil and gas. But two wells paid, the Diall and the Phoenix, the latter of which is still a steady producer. Thousands and thous-

BASE BALL.

Good Showing Made by Team Since Its Return First Trip.

Next week, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we will have the team from Cairo, and after that the home team leaves for its second trip, which will keep it away from home until the 5th of June, when we will have the Washingtons, Cairos, Paducahs and Nashvilles, in that order.

The addition of Russell Pace, catcher, from the Detroits, has put new life into team. He is a fine backstop, a splendid thrower, and has the style and manner of a first-class player. He "caught on" with the fans from the start, and every additional game he plays strengthens him in their good graces.

In Price, Hughes and Rodman Terre Haute has three as good pitchers as there are in the league, as will be shown when they get thoroughly worked out. It has been a bad spring for pitchers, and those who have overdone their work in the bad days, will be going around with sore arms before long.

HARRISON PARK CASINO.

The big cake walk at the Harrison Park Casino will close to-night and the winners will be awarded the prizes and the cake. Gentleman's first prize will be a Damascus bicycle, high grade, '07 pattern ladies' first prize, a set of parlor furniture gentleman's second prize, gold headed cane ladies' second prize, a gold watch. Next week the same interesting programme will be repeated.

A Notable Meeting.

A notable meeting in the way of Sunday school work will be the missionary rally of the superintendents and teachers engaged in this cause, at the Congregational church next Tuesday evening. Rev. Wm. Mitchell will preside, and the music will be in charge of Prof. A. G. Shook and the Choral Union. The following is the programme of exercises: Song Services—twenty minutes..

the Home From the

The Terre Hautes have redeemed themselves from the disastrous effects of their first trip away from home. They have played six games since arriving home, three each with Evansville and Paducah. They lost one game to Evansville, won one and tied the third Tuesday afternoon, 5 to 5, after eleven innings. They captured three straights from Paducah, making a good record for the team, and placing it in fourth place. They are playing excellent ball, and deserve to be encouraged with a better attendance than has been accorded thus far. In batting, fielding and base running the team is far above the average of its class, and is sure to give a good account of itself before the season is far advanced. This afternoon the Nashville team, managed by Billy Work, the well known Southern league player, will play the first of three games, the others following in order, Sunday and Monday. The Sunday game will be called at three o'clock, and all week day games at 3:45

The chief objection to the habitnal chewing of gum is its effect on the face. A perpetual wagging of the jaws develops some of the mncles unduly, and gives to all the features an unpleasant look of pre-occupa-tion in a task. No play of emotion, no fine shade of poetic feeling, can sweep over a face while the most of it is engaged in rapid muscular exercise. Its tendency is away from conversational improvement.

ABOUT WOMEN

There is, no doubt, a tendency on the part of the old to bewail the degeneracy of the times, and to insist that manners and enstoms are not what they once were. This is largely due to a decline in the faculties of the old, and to the fact that other things besides the grasshopper have become a burden. At the risk, however, of being accused of having shifted into the lean and slippered stage of life, I will venture the opinion the that children are ruder than they were when I was a child, writes Mrs. Juliet V. Straus, in the Rockville

Tribune.

I don't say they are worse. I believe that human nature is largely the same in all times and ages, but I insist that in my early days politeness among children was more generaly observed than now. Children were at least a little bashful in those day, and not accustomed to take whatever situation they desired, much after the fashion of a drove of Texas cattle. This is the age of "cheek." We all admit it, and the children seem imbued with the doctrine at an early age. When I was a child, a girl or boy who was guilty of rude actions and pert replies was regarded with horror, both by grown people and those of his own age. Now, however, the cheekiest child is considered the most popular. There is no longer any restraint of politeness among children. Indeed, politeness is a thirfg to be ridiculed, good language a subject of merriment, and modest conduct dubbed greenness. Sensibility is a thing which, in childhood, is entirely superfluous. A child must have the nature of a savage, the soul of a stoic, to get along well in these days.

On the school grounds there is simply no limit to the rudeness of speech to which children of finer feeling are subjected. A patched garment, or a worn pair of shoes, or a hat that does not seem to strike the fancy of the ruling spirits of the place is a signal for hooting and ridicule, for rude remarks and heartless sneers, calculated to nearly kill an old-fashioned, sensitive child. No school teacher is responsible for this, but the lack of proper home influences which it denotes, is simply appalling. Perhaps, since our country has become a mere stamping ground for whoever can get hold of the first places, whether by fair means or foul, and all who would win must do so by the most ruthless trampling upon friend and foe alike, it is well that our children's hearts should be broken at an early age, and that they should learn to cope with rudeness and envy and hatred in the days when, if ever, we are supposed to be free from them. But oh, the pity of it!

The pitycf ttf* ~t£ most part a mechanical people. We do things according to certain rules. There is no longer any sweet, spontaneous occurrence in our lives. All is arranged and the programme printed, and we to act a certain way, and say thing at a given time. I begin to believe that we will have conversation machines before long, full of strictly conventional phrases, suitable to all sorts of state occasions. It will not then be necessary to study the amenities of life. The buttons will be labeled all that they will need to do will be to subjugate what they actually think and feel, and to be proficient in the manipulation of their machines. Politeness has always seemed in my eyes a quality entirely apart from etiquette, which is largely superficial. Politeness is a thing which springs from innate good-heartedness. and which is more valuable than any amount of mere acquired manners. To me a child has always seemed particularly easily influenced toward pity and tenderness. It must be a perverted child heart that would ridicule and insult the unfortunate little neighbor the backward, timid little friend.

Where has the child, who will jeer to a playmate and taunt him with some mis fortune of his family, or the quality of his raiment, or the poverty of his parents, taken his cue!

I wish I knew who was the propagator of the idea that domesticity is stupid, and domestic woman a eumberer of the earth. I venture to say that if this doc trine, which has become so popular, was sifted, it would be discovered that it emanated from the brain of some woman who was too lazy to do a hand's turn, and could be perfectly happy and contented in a filthy house, and with a ragged family and a poor, half-starved husband. In this brief life of ours little can be accomplished. The time of fruition is now, and to-day is the important thing. Is home all right for the day Are the beds made properly, the rooms nicely arranged, and is there a prospect for a good dinner It is to be hoped that there is no occasion for racing through the work, or leaving it partly done, or putting the family on half rations. Life goes on at break-neck pace when there is something "going on," and when all is over comes a sense of unquiet and loss scarcely to be understood. It is a question whether the domestic woman's life is the narrow one. There is a pleasure for her in a sweet, clean pantry Mid neat, tidy kitchen as keen, and perhaps as noble, as any thrill of satisfied vanity which is the reward of the society woman.

A friend of mine once said, in speaking of the elusive quality of happiness, that one of the warmest thrills of raptnre she bad known was caught hi the sleepy chirp of a baby chicken as it cuddled under its trother's wing at night. Another, who is gifted with that invaluable quality common sense, remarked that she couldn't teU which she enjoyed most—making a kettle of soap or going to a party.

Beware, then, how you ridicule the domestic woman. Maybe she Is happier th«n you are. And be sure her happiness is not less noble if she finds a clean hack

pojjrch and kitchen-garden enjoyable. She has at least the quality of genuineness in het work, and is more likely to succeed With it than are many of the dabblers at a "higher life." Don't sit in a dirty room and read Daiite, and feel superior to your home-keeping neighbor, for I will venture to tikf that the evil days in which wc shall say "I have no pleasure in them" will come sooner, far sooner, to the woman whf is sounding the higher life than to her who counts her spoons and table-linen rapturously, contemplates clean boards with bliss, considers well aired and dusted rodtns a means of grace, and is not entirely unknown to the exciting amusement of nunibering the pieces on the neighbors' clothes-line.

There is no longeT any abstract standard of propriety. The decalogue and the laws of fhe land are all that cannot be changed &y preendent, and even these are beginning to bd* tampered with. The laws of the land, beiig largely a matter of traffic, are certainly not made upon any special grdttnds ,f propriety, but rather to suit the' exigencies of certain occasions, and the decalogn^ ls certainly inconvenient and a gregt hiMrance to polite society. When on® f.oryitifeo think of it, nearly all of the commandments are back numbers so far as Jthe viB majority of people are concerned. gome of them hold good for wolnen anif some for the poor, but for the most part rich people and men are exempt. About the £hly sort of statute that one is in danger Of transgressing is the social law, and

as that is as variable as a railway

time-tablp, ope is quite likely to become an outlaw

without knowing it. Certain

things are proper not because at first sight.they seem so not because they satisfj^ny old-fashioned ideas of propriety, buf because they are done. If anything is "dohej" thai settles it. There is no longer a code. If your family entailed one upon you, throw it away it's no good. The question with^ me is how others come into possession of knowledge of what is, for the time being* "good" in actions and manners.

I have an unfortunate habit of

spying out something which seems to me shockingf-outre—'unpardonable, and afterwacds. discovering that it is the very height of good fortn and something which is decidedly "done." One who hasfretained the traditions Of a Puritan grandmother, any grai&father to speak of, and a praying mother of the past generation can no longer participate, but must perforce be satisfied vritb contemplation..

LITTLE FEET.

Two little feet, so small that both may nestle In one caressing hand Two tender feet upon the untried border

Of life's mysterious land Those rose-white feet alung the doubtful future

Must bear a woman's load Alas! Since woman has the heaviest burden And walks the hardest road. Love, for a while, will make the path before them

All dainty, smooth and fair Will cut away the brambles, letting only The roses blossom there But when the mother's watchful eyes are shrouded

Awny from sight of men. And these dear little feet are left without her guiding.

Who shall direct them then? Will they go stumbling blindly in the darkness

Of sorrow's tearful shades? Or find the upland slopes of peace and beauty.

Whose sunlight never fades? Oh. who may read the future? For this sweetheart small

We want all blessings sweet. And pray that He who feeds the crying ravens

Will guide the baby's feet.

How the Chinese Do Things. Everything relating to the orient is of interest. The Chinese do everything backward. They exactly reverse the usual order of civilization.

Note first that the Chinese compass points to the south instead of the north. The men wear skirts and the women trousers.

The men carry on dressmaking and the women carry burdens. The spoken language of China is not written, and the written language is not spoken.

Books are read backward, and what we call foot-notes are inserted in the top of the page.

The Chinese surname comes first instead of last. The Chinese shake their own hands instead of the hands of those they greet.

The Chinese dress in white at funerals, (uiH in mourning at weddings: while old women always serve as bridesmaids.

The Chinese launch their vessels rideways, and mount their hones from the off side.

The Chinese begin dinner With dessert, and end with soup and fish.

Wedding Months.

There is a popular idea that June is the favorite month for weddings, and that the young woman who loves romance and wishes fortune to smile upon her nuptials In every way must chooee this of all months. Cold and un romantic fact, however. slows that the three most popular marriage months are October, November Mid December. Fifty yean' records show this to be true, and also demonstrates the fact that the moat unpopular months for marriage are January, February aad Match.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

A bill posting machine, which sticks bills on walls, even as high as 50 feet, without the use of ladder or paste pot, is doing successful work in Paris* Theatrical people are delighted with it.

There was a family reunion in Kentucky, the other day, at which were present a man 98 years old who weighed only 63 pounds, a baby 2 years old that weighed pounds, and a woman with 12 toes 14 fingers.

Some women want a man so bad that almost any old thing will do. Two years ago, Mrs. Price King, of Labette, county, divorced her husband, who being thus deprived of his means of support, went to the county poor house, where he has since remained. Last Friday, Mrs. Price went to the poor house, took her ex-husband out, and married him over again.

The Olympic games, revived with such success at Athens last spring, take place at Havre this year. Six thousand invitations have been issued to the athletes of all nations to join the sports from July 28 to Aug. 1. Not many acceptances may be expected from the originators of the revival, for the Greeks just now are too busy with a serious Olympic game of their own.

Henry Cheatham, the negro ex-con-gressman from North Carolina, was this week appointed recorder of Deeds for the District of Columbia. He served in congress with McKinley and voted for the McKinley bill. He was born a slave. He is a well-educated man of polished manners and will make an excellent official. This office had been regarded as an incorporeal hereditament by the colored people ever since Hayes gave it to Fred Douglass in 1877.

The pet aversion of the Empress of Austria is bath rooms. So set is her majesty in this antipathy that she positively refuses to take her morning splash in the same room two mornings in succession She always bathes in a portable tin tub, which she orders to be wheeled into her bed room, breakfast room or study, just as the freak takes her. Another of her eccentricities is her mourning. Since the death of her son she has not worn a vestige of white about her. Underwear, night dresses, everything must be-black.

Some idea of our cosmopolitan citizen ship may be derived from the fact that within the limits of the United States there are newspapers written in twenty four different languages. Included among

Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Russian Swedish, Norwegian, Greek, Sluvonic Chinese, Bohemian, Polish, Hungarian Dutch, Armenian, Welsh, Hebrew, Arabic Danish. Of all these various tongues there are more newspapers printed in German than in any other language, ex cept, of course, the English. Indeed, there is hardly a state in the Union which does not boast of a German newspaper, while in such states as New York and Ohio there are some twenty-five or thirty Next in number aud extent of circulation to the German newspapers come the French. Most of these are published in New York. One Ar enian mfwspaper is published in New York city, where quite a large number of Armenian emigrants have recently located. Of Bohemian news' papers there are five published in this country, two in New York, two in Chicago and one in Cleveland. Of Danish newspapers there are three, one in Omaha, one in Racine, Wis., and one in Portland, Ore

MODERN PHILOSOPHY.

We always pay for love though we can not buy it. "My appearance," remarked Crime, "depends greatly upon my mirror."

Sacrifice stood on the threshold of Ixve. When I enter," she said, "I become Joy." "Where can I find the great virtues?" asked a man of Mediocrity. "Usually with some of the vices," she replied.

Life offered a joy to a lonely man. "This," said the man, refusing it, "is not enough for one person it is only sufficient for two."

BENEATH THE FINGER NAILS

There Lark* More Evils There Than That of Unattractiveness, There is something more than beauty and attractiveness to be considered in coring for the finger nails. Beneath them is a space which forms a id us or resting 'place for bacteria. Bacteriologists have found a score or more of different kind* of organisms under the nails, many of them harmless, it is true, bat some of them exceedingly dangerous to health and life.

Since they are microscopic in rise, no one can tell whether they are innocent or harmful, or. indeed, whether they are present or absent.

Since a pin prick suffices to convey into the human system enough of the most poisonous germs of disease to cause death, it is easy to understand what evil result may follow a scratch with a germ-laden finger An idea has gone abroad that

TWEXTY-SEVESTH YEAR.

the danger lies in being scratched by another person, but since the trouble is due to bacteria, and not to auy poison residing in the nail itself, it is easy to see that a self-inflicted scratch may be as bjul as any other.

Many instances are recorded where a slight wound, like the prick of a needle under the nail, has been the means of introducing the germs of some infectious disease, for bacteria may be anywhere, and the nails have a peculiar aptitude for scraping up particles of dust aud dirt, which may be swarming with germs. The surgeon who goes to the performance of any cutting operation, realizing the danger which lies beneath the nails, cleanses them in the most thorough manner.

Disease germs once introduced into the human organism become travelers. They do not stop at the point of infection, but once in the circulation may go anywhere and everywhere aud live, even for years, waiting their opportunity for growth when the normal tone of the system is lowered by chill, by fatigue or some other disturbing cause.

There is no better method of cleaning the nails than with a good brush and plenty of soap and water, and without the use of a brush it is impossible to have clean, wholesome nails. Not alone will the result obtained be pleasing to the eye, but the danger of becomiug the bearer of disease to one's self is thereby lessened.

THINGS WE OUCHT TO KNOW.

That every woman should keep an expense account book. That a banana skin will remove discoloration from russet shoes.

That afresh cheese cloth curtain is better than no curtain at all. That a russet shoe, being porous, is desirable for summer wear.

That a bed of thyme Is a satisfactory adjunct to a kitchen garden. That flour, milk and butter should neve* be kept where there is a bad odor.

That a small bed of parsley will supply all garnishes and seasonings for a year. That banana salad is a pleasant variation from ordinary dishes for hot weather.

That a curtain stretcher is a great help to one who has her curtains done up at home.

That orange or wine jelly with a light cake is preferable to a heavy dessert for warm weather. .. s#8hat i£4^mtr(feWirfl}fcki wi«hoat» ur soon as it is removed from the foot the shape will be retained.

That heavy curtains should be carefully spread out after they have been well brushed, and nothing heavy laid on top of them.

That the walking boot should be removed as soon as possible after entering the house, and a pair of slippers or low shoes take its place.

Thatagood furniture polish may be made by mixing together two parts of crude oil to one part of turpentine when applied with a soft cloth.

That the dust should be carefully washed from curtains before they are put away, but they should not be starched or gtreched until it is time to hang them.

The Craxe for Hlrth-Month Stones. The Craze for wearing bi rth-month stones does not emanate from America, nor yet from Paris, lxndon is not responsible for it, either. It is from remote Poland that the odd notion comes. Women there, according to an old legend, are saved all manner of ills by wearing the guardian charm of the month in which they were born. And men, too, If given such gems by a woman, are also saved and benefited.

Here is the true list. There are varieties, but the one given is direct from Poland: January, garnet. Constancy.

February, amethyst. Sincerity. March, bloodstone. Courage, wisdom. April, sapphire or diamond. Free from enchantment, innocence.

May, emerald. Success in love discovers false friends. June, agate. Health and prosperity.

July, ruby. Corrects evils of mistaken friendship discovers poison. August, sardonyx. Means conjugal felicity.

September, chrysolite. Antidote to madness frees from sadness and evil passions.

October, opaL Hope. November, topax. Fidelity prevents bad dreams.

December, turquoise. Prosperity.
