ON THE QUI VIVE.

One of the most sensational trials ever held in our local courts was that in the Circuit court this week, where a ward sned his guardian for money belonging to him which he claimed the

guardian

Frank Benjamin's nomination as postmaster has been confirmed by the senate, and it is probable, if his bond is approved in time that he will take his office some during the coming week. Possibly it wil be SO delayed as to postpoue his taking charge until June 1st. The postmaster of the city of Terre Haute has to give a bond of *.50,000, of which 1-45,(MX) is for the money order business. It is customary for the clerks in this departmen to give a bond to the postmaster. The absurdity of this phase of civil service is that the new post master has to give bond for men about whose appointment he has nothing to say. To say that the civil service is founded on strict business principles is all rot when it comes to such cases as tlijs. There isn't a businness man in the city of Terre Haute who would give bond for men who were to have responsible positions under him unless tie could name his own men. Eugene Debs had an experience of that kind when he was oity clerk several years ago. The ha uained-as his deputy was Hot satisfactory to the Democratic members of the council, although perfectly competent and worthy. They refused to confirm his appointment, but .Mr. Debs told them in unmistakable terms that ho would give bond for no deputy elerk unless the latter was a man of his own choice. He carried his point, and had his own choice. He carried his point, and had his own man confirmed. Civil service is in many respects like free trade. Like the latter. It is a theory as beautiful as a poet's dream, but it rips and tears when it comes to applying it to the practical affairs of public office.

Rev. Madison C. Peters, who is looked upon as a Terre Haute product, because here he first made a bid for prominence, while pastor of the .Moffat street Presbyterian church, was recently made chaplain of the Ninth regiment, New York National Guard, and true to his nature and inclinations his first sermon to his regiment was attended by a sensation, which resulted in one company of the regiment refusing to attend divine services. Rev. Peters, is pastor of the Rloomingdale Reformed church in New York City, and was recently made chaplain of the regiment named to fill a vacancy. It happened that one company of the regiment was made up chietlv of Catholics, and only recently the worthy chaplain had gone out of his way to make a sensational attack on the Catholics and their religion. When the services were announced for his church this Catholic compauv refused to attend, and the regiment went to divine services minus that company. The Rev. Peters is a man who is fond of sensations, and he no doubt enjoyed that created by one of the companies refusing to attend divine services at his church. If there was ever a man in public life who enjoyed being made eon«picious. the Rev. Madison C.

Peters is the one. The man at Indianapolis who had announce weather prognostications for the past twenty years, predicts that the coming summer will not be excessively hot. and people generally are warned to take notice an.l govern he in selves accordingly. Sergeant W.-ippnlvtns -the name is enough to justify the judgment—discovered awav b,»ck in the ro's, that hot

retained or failed to account for. The case was that of Purley Kight against Wilson H. Soale, and after a warm contest that lasted an entire week, the jury found for the plaintiff, and in the amount sued for. The case had a peculiar significance from the fact that ex-Judge Taylor appeared as one of the leading attorneys for Soale. who, while formerly classed as a Republican, and as such had held office under Republican administrations, came out as an advocate of Democratic principles in the last campaign, and was especially interested in the election of Judge Tayor. There was a whole lot of feeling back of the case, and the speech of exprosecutor S. M. Huston, who opened the argument for the plaintiff is said to have been about the most scorching arraignment that has been heard here in many days. The trial of this case emphasizes the necessity for the good work that is being (lone by Judge Piety In straightening out the probate business of his court. This trial will cost the county of Vigo in the neighborhood of four hundred dollars, and there would never have been any necessity for It had the guardian been compelled to make a report of his trust, as the law requires him to do. Judge Piety is going after the delinquents, and there has been such a stirring up of guardians, administrators, bondsmen for them in the the past few weeks as to attract attention.

and recently it has been known as "Lon Lee's train." The men in charge of this train had about as nice a time as men can who are engaged in the railroad business. They left home in the morning, took their dinner in Indianapolis, and returned in the evening in time to take their supper with their familiea-aluxury that every railroad man is not able to enjoy. But all this has been changed with the new summer schedule wich took effect on the Vandalia on Sunday. The train now starts from Effingham each morning, and reaches Indianapolis at about the usual time, and returns to Effingham in the evening. Its running is about the same as that of the Mattoon accommodation on the Big Four, which runs from Mattoon to Indianapolis and returns each day. This change in the time of the train will necessitate the removal from this city of Lon Lee, conductor, and Ed. Huestis, baggagemaster, of this train, who will hereafter make their residence in Effingham. Adam Yost, who has had charge of the Effingham accommodation on the Vandalia, will alternate with Lon Lee in running the Indianapolis accommodation, both making their homes in Effingham. This change in the running of the train is done with the idea of reducing the cost of train service, and will lay off one crew of men.

A man who had money to invest in real estate right now can turn several honest pennies if he is careful about his investments. This suggestion was prompted by hearing of the sale of a thirty-two footjpt, with a ten room house, on one of the leading streets in the best residence neighborhowl of this city, within three blocks of Main streets, for$2,750. If times improve, as they give every indication of doing, the purchaser will have no trouble in doubling his money in a short time. There are a great many other investments almost as good waiting for the man with ready cash.

Base Hull.

Terre Haute played fairly well the past week, winning one out. of three games from Nashville and two out of three with Cairo. The poor showing made by the team in the last Nashville game caused the directors to release Manager Jewell, it being claimed that he has not exercised the proper dis cipline, and that the players have been dissipating. The players received a sound lecture, which has resulted in a decided bracing-tip. The team left yesterday for Paducah. where the opening game of the trip will be played-to-day. The club plays twelve games on this trip, and will be home for a game with Cairo on the 5th of June. Director Ed. Cox, went along as manager, and Frank Parks, the baseball reporter of the Express, also went along, taking his summer vacation in this way

ABOUT WOMEN.

I do not know that Mary has a great deal to do," said the dear mother, "and she might have sent me particulars of the engagements of her cousins, which I shall not find in the morning paper. Next to my own daughters, I love Susan Lambelle best, and I do not want to wait for what was going on in her house. Why could Fred not have told me the time of his of his arrival How does he know that I have a time table We wrote nicer letters to our mothers when I was young, but then we did not write so often. The postman's arrival was a pleasure then. Now it simply startles one."

All women desire to look graceful on a wheel, and this longed-for result lies largely with themselves avoid all unnecessary motion, particularly with the knees learn to pedal as much as possible from the ankle. Have your machine perfectly adjusted to you have a trim well-made and becoming suit, fitting so well and fashioned on such lines that your coat-tails will not be flying out behind, your skirt blowing on either side and your neck bent to keep your hat from blowing off. Sit up straight, have your handle bars sufficiently high to allow you take a tight but' flrfn hold with the foreasffi straight, and the elbow on a line with t»e forearm straight, and the elbow on a line with the waist. Don't despise the day of little things, consider every trifle about your costume, your wheel and your action, improve where improvement there can be, and when youcau nolongerdo so be happy in having procured the desired end.

New womeifT old wpmen. young maids and old one ylways and everywhere interested in the question of matri mony. says an exchange. At almost all feminine gatherings and conventions the subject is brought forward and discussed and yet statistics from all quarters of the globe present annually a steady decline in the number of marriages. Nowhere, however, has the matrimonial percentage reached so low a point as in the Argentine Republic. The existing state of affairs in that young South American State has attracted attention as a grave public evil, and her senators and wise men have recently passed the following law: On and after January 1, 1W, every male from the age of 20 to 80 shall pay a tax until he marries, and shall pay it once every men Mi. Young celibates of either sex who shall, without legitimate motives, reject the addresses of him or her who may aspire to her or his hand, and who may continue contumaciously unmarried, shall pay the sum of 500 piasters for the benefit of the yjung person who has been so refused. Whether this will induce more men to enter the state of marriage or cause them to calculate (as some men have a horrid way of doing), the expense involved either way, we cannot say. Some mercenary creatures with very level heads may discover that the tax is less than the bills incurred by the accession of a wife, and therefore instead of there being more marriages in the Argentine Republic, there may be fewer ones.

How curious it is to listen to the various opinions of women regarding the best plans to pursue in order to make matrimony a success. Some argue one way, some another, and it must be admitted that each one has to individually find out Che good or ill in the line of action she suggests. The other day a wonderfully bright woman, with an originality of thought and rarely keen judgment, announced her views on this subject- "The reason why there are so many unhappy marriages," began this feminine oracle, "is because women know too much. They are too independent, too prone to lead, rather than demurely follow Now, when I get married. I am going to lie absolutely dependent—to all ap pcarances. If we are going to take a trip it will be hobby who buys the, tickets and checks the luggage, and if he sees fit to smoke his cigar so leisurely that the train we were to take moves away without us, 1 will not snag him by saying, *Oh„ do 1 hurry up: we haven't a minute to loae.

TERKE HAUTE, IND., SATUllDAY EVENEN«, J1 AT 22, 1897.

ik'ii

The fact is says a pesimistic observer of men and manners, that there is too much writing—scribbling—going on, not only among Jane's class, but among her social betters. New fangled blotting pads, stationery cabinetB, which are marvels of ingenuity and convenience, and, above all, penny postage stamps, have made an aid of that charming art of letter writing for which some of our grandmothers and grandfathers were famous. They wrote long, and gossipy epistles, for postage was dear, and they told their friends they most wanted to hear. The receipt of eight closely filled quarto pages did not frighten the recipient. Nowadays one expects the writer's signature to be at the bottom of the first page. "Her letters are like telegrams and her telegrams like letters," said a delightful old lady, the mother of a fashionable daughter, the other day, alluding to the latter's correspondence. And forthwith she showed one of the epistles. "Dear Mother: Very little news. Jack and Fanny are engaged. You will see the particulars in the morning paper. Your goddaughter, Susan, gave a splendid party at Hill street. There is afull account of it in the Gen tiewoman of this week. Your loving daughter, Mary. P. S.—Fred is coming down to you on Thursday. He leaves at 12.05. I don't know what time he arrives, but you can look out the time in the time table and you can send the trap down to meet him."

Then I will lay away my savings and should a rainty day come, I Will .drag them forth and present them to him at which time he will be astonished to discover that the simplp, unsophisticated wife knew a thing or two all along." This sounds well, but we wonder if she will have the strength of mincf to carry it out.

The Nestorian christians seem to have had the proper idea of the duties of a wife, if we are to judge from the following, clipped from an old newspaper "Atter the marriage ceremony has been performed, Che wedding party is taken in wago&s from the church to the house of the bridegroom's parents. When the second wagon, in which the bride is seated alone,* reaches the gate opening into the yard in which the house is situated, it is halted, and the bridegroom's mother comes to mget it with baby and three suits of baby clothes ili hqr arms. She throws the child and the cloithes into the arms of *ilie brid$, who is recfuired to undress and dress the baby •three'times in the presence of her mother-in-law, who watches every movement As only a mother-in-law can watdh a 3Banghter-in-law. If the newlymad^ bride does not perfqrm the operation to the satlsfacti of her severe judge, she is considered unfit for her new position, the V^agon is turned around, and she is taken.back home for further instruction, and the poor brid^ferOom is compelled to live in single blessedness until his wife is educated up to the proper standard."

A certain number of women marry solely for lpve a certain and perhaps larger number marry for reasons in which love and the desire to have a home of their own and 'money of their own are mixed up. Another small section marry purely from reasons of ambition, usually of a pecuniary kindr-i 'e., with the idea of bedbming great personages through marriage. As a rule, however, these mercenary marriages are made not by a designing mother, who wishes to sell her daughter, but by a designing or rather ambitious girl, who deliberately wishes to climb the world's ladder by marriage.

The girls who deliberately try to better their position by marriage are, however, by no means necessarily despisable people, A few are.:, Those for example, who denya^Amarry rich men of known bad old Tneti, or men of feeble intellect, or men they dislike. The majority, however, are very like the ambitious men who deliberately prefer getting on by marrying for other considerations, and so choose a rich wife. Theoretically, thqse must be rather unpleasant and repulsive people. As a matter of fact, however, they are often nothing of the kind, and end by making good husbands. So it is with thousands of the girls who are said to sell themselves for money. We do not, of course, want to defend mercenary matriages, and we detest the notion of girls being brought up to think tjiat money is the only object in life. It is, however, absolutely necessary to speak out about the current cant concerning the marriage market. That, as a rule, is mere rhetoric, and, when it means anything, means that most naturally mothers, otherthings being equal, prefer that their daughters should be without pecuniary cares. Mrs. Bowling puts the feeling quite correctly when she says that if she does not know either of the men she prefers the rich one. Depend upon it, indigence and virtue are no more convertible terms than riches and vice.

A BABY UNBOSOMS ITSELF.

I wish I wasn't pretty and I wish I wasn sweet I wish folks didn't think I look "just good enough to eat" I wish—If I'm a rosebud, as they say—that I had thorns As sharp as Mamma's needles and as big as

Mooly's horns.

I wish that great big grown-up folks weren't mean enough to take Advantage of a little, teenty-weenty mite, and make Life a burden to a baby, pouncing on It. one and all. In away they wouldn't dare to If it wasn't weak and small. guess, it you were me. that you'd be mad— tho' you're as meek As Moses—If each won »n piuked a finger in your cheek. And said.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

In all countries more marriages take place in June than in any other month. There is not a man who ever loaned an umbrella but will rejoice at the fact that a man in Wilmington, Del., who stole an umbrella received five lashes and was sentenced to imprisonment for three months.

A Parisian lamplighter makes his rounds on a bicycle, with along torch carried over his right shoulder. He guides the wheel with the left hand, and is so expert that he lights the lamps without dismounting.

The assertion comes from Germany that the majority of people are not only righthanded, but also right-sighted. By this is meant that most persons see better with the right-eye than with the left, And habitually, though unconsciously, employ it more. Some persons, however, make greater use of the left eye than of the right, and accordingly are said to be "left-eyed."

For many years an American traveling in England or on the continent of Europe was recognized as such by the appearance of,his shirt cuffs. Only Americans, it seems, wore the single button or stud, sometimes very large ones, being handsome stones, intaglious or cut with a monogram. The rest of the world, it seems, preferred sleeve links or the double cuff button. But now links are generally worn, and have been in fashion on this side of the Atlantic to prevent an American's nationality from being determined by the shibboleth, as it were, of the single stud.

William Ham, of Alamo, Ind., who has just past his 87th birthday, has never been more than 17 miles from his home, has never been on the railroad cars and for 05 years has not been absent from home a single night, occupying the same bed in the same room all these years. He has never been in a barber's chair and has not, missed church in a half century. He has been a user of tobacco since he was 10 years old, but has never been in a saloon and says he has never used an oath. He has not been in Crawfordsville, the county seat of his county, for many years, because of his fear of the railroad crossings. Thirteen years ago the Alamo* hack was struck at a crossing and its occupants 'killed, and since then the old man has refused to.walk or ride over a railroad track. The old man, is strong apd does a full day's work on lys farm every week day."

Texas is somewhat of a state. If all the cotton raised in Texas were made into one shirt, the garment would fit a man 20,000 miles tall. The Texas crop of 15,000,000 pounds of wool would make hinv a pair of socks. The leather product of the state would make him a pair of shoes, the soles of which would nearly cover a pair of states as large as Massachusetts. The 600,000 head of beeves and 125,(MX),000 bushels of corn would feed him bread and meat for six months, and if all the horses in Texas were one, he could ride a horse big enough to nibble grass on the Blue Itidge and fan the flies off his haunches, which would loom up in the neighborhood of the Mississippi river. The hairs of the animal's tail would be as large in diameter as telegraph poles and as long as the Hudson river, and it would take the bite of a horsefly fourteen times the size of an elephant to make him snort.

John Sullivan** Advice This is John 1*. Sullivan's recipe for that "tired feeling" in the spring. When asked what men should do, he said: "In the first place they ought to set apart 15 minutes to half an hour every morning for exercise. More than half of them lie in bed until the last moment in the morning, then jump up, dress in a hurry, and go right to the breakfast table, and wonder why they have no appetite and feel dull and stupid. Hie human stomach was not made to be treated that way. A man should, after getting up, take a ten minutes' brisk walk, If possible, or, if tLat is not convenient, use a light pair of dumbbells for three or four minutes, so as to bring np as light perspiration. Then he should rub himself dry with a coarse towel, and after he has rubbed himself dry he should rub and dap himself briskly.

Then, after dressing, let him go to the table and eat a couple of poached eggs on toast or a bit of nice steak, with bread and coffee, and he will be fit for his day's work, and my word for it, he will want no other tonic to give him an appetite for his dinner. Should he need a laxative he can find few things better than plenty of fruit. Stewed prunes eaten at night'are excellent. If a young man does as I have said for a few weeks and doesn't find himself as fine as a fiddle, there is something serious the matter with him and he had better consult a doctor."

BE PROMPT

Thank a person for a gift the day it arrives. Acknowledge an invitation for dinner luncheon the day it arrives.

Acknowledge the receipt of a check at ofite. Send an address the day it is asked for.

Thank your hostess for your visit the day you return home. Either leave your card or write a note to a friend as soon as you hear that friend is ill.

Keep sufficient paper and envelopes on hand, so your notes can be written at once and remember that a dainty note is the hall mark of good breeding.

FASHION'S FANCIES.

Silk blouses are made with tight sleeves, buttoning from wrist to the scant puff on the shoulders, and small gold, not brass, buttons are lavishly used for trimmiug.

Gray, silks and poplins are trimiuihI with corselet and collars of yellow satin bolero of the gray lined with yellow, aud full vest of white chiffon and yellow lace.

Crepe-de-Chiue is to be very much worn this season, especially for evening dresses and in combination with other materials, and there is anew kind, ribbed like poplin, which is very delicate and soft.

Foulards and all soft silks will be worn during the summer. They are printed in dainty designs and come in soft colors and in such a variety of patterns that they may serve for any purpose.

Flowered grenadines appear to be among the leaders in summer fabrics. The Parisian pompadour is the style of coiffure which necessitates a "rat" to give it proper height.

The'muahroom bunches of ribbon wired to stand high above the hat crown are deemed essentially chic in summer millinery.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY.

Many a train of thought ought to be Switched into a siding. You can't tell how worthless a man a really smart woman will marry.

What a dry time some of us would have if we got nothing but our deserts. Many a woman keeps her ago well who couldn't keep any other secret to save her life.

Because a man is shy is no sign he is virtuous. He may be a confirmed poker player.

The great objection we have to the man who blows his own trumpet is in the tnine he selects.

It's usually found to be pretty hard to get people interested in what, you used to be.

Some men refrain from eating because of lack of appetite, ami others because of lack of credit.

The newly-married couple who try housekeeping in apartments usually find it a flat failure.

The world is full of miserable people who are so by reason of trying to get more than the world gives.

In time a woman might overlook being called "homely:" but she will never stand being called "plain."

Passion is'flr^t a tramp who begs at our doors, len a guest and soon becomes master of the household.

The successful man, after all, is not he who does something great, but he who improves a little every day.

To have a respect for ourselves guides our morals, and to have a deference for others governs our manners.
