they claim gives the legislature to the republicans by aa overwhelming vote, even in the face of a Democratic landslide. They maintain that the law is unfair, but that if decided unconstitutional by the Supreme court, which is Democratic, the governor will call a special session of the legislature before the election next year, and an apportionment law will be passed that is fully as bad, if not worse. It would

When Postmaster Benjamin took hold of the postolTice, only nine of the thirtyseven employes were Republicans, that being the proportion of Republicans entitled to hold office, apparently, under civil service as administered by Democrats. Now there are sixteen Republican employes.

There is joy In Evansville, and the tears resulting therefrom have caused the wild and wierd Ohio to turn back wan itt its flight and lap with its waves the once deserted water front of the Southern Indiana village. The joy and tears follow naturally the announcement that Mrs. Smith, the celebrated reformer, has a bill prepared for presentation before Congress at its next session making marriage compulsory, and establishing national matrimonial bureaus, that will make unmarried rneu toe the mark. It is said that the prospect of beiug compelled to marry Evansville girls forced the tough "mugs" that made up the late lamented Evansville base ball club to jump that city, and therefore caused the disband men of that club, and the breaking up of the league.

One day this week a young man on the verge of manhood, was arrested for breaking into the store of his employer and stealing twenty-two dollars from the motiey drawer. Later it was discovered that the young man had some time ago taken a bicycle from the stock and sold it without turning in the money. Some of the newspaper men made a little investigation and learned that the young man, who had hitherto borne a good reputation, had worked at the same store for nearly si* years, and when the robbery was committed was receiving the munificent sum of five dollars and a half a week as wages. With the live dollars and a half he was supposed to pay his room rent and board, buy clothing decent enough to be able to wait on customers when they came in. and have pocket money enough to le able to enjoy a few pleasures of life. The wonder of it all is, how the boy postponed his stealing so long.

This means that our ex Farme:Governor, or our Farmer ex-Governor, Claude Matthews is to be permitted to pursue the occupations of peace undisturbed, and unlike Cincinnatus, he can use his ploughish air and pruning hooks without interference In the fastnesses of Vermillion county, where the shade trees multiply, and cooling summer zephrs are wafted to the heated brow from early morn to dewy eve. When times grow auspicious fort he election of a Democratic senator from the State of Indiana, he will not come from Vermillion county, however, but from Vigo. He will be a blueeyed boy of destiny, too, and the first letter of his name will be John E. Lamb.

The death this week of ex-Mayor Alexander Thomas calls attention to the fact that of the seventeen different men who have filled the office of mayor from the time the city was incorporated as a city in 1S.V!. up to the time Mayor Ross was elected, seven are living at the present time.

tures can be found in the old records that go to prove the truth of this. Here is the way Capt. Allen signed his name when he was city clerk away back in 1855, fortytwo years ago:

Any person familiar with his handwriting will recognize it as his signature today without a bit of change. W. R. McKeen was once clerk, before Terre Haute became a city. This was in 1851. This is the way he signed his name to the records then,

and if there is the slightest change in the signature he makes to-day, it would take an expert in chirography to discover it.

The police deserve credit for their efforts to suppress the road houses near the fair grounds, or at least compell them to conform to the laws. The amount of wickedness that is perpetrated at these places almost every evening would be startling to some of the fathers and mothers of this city. Every time one of the places is raided the men are given a tip by somebody, and they make their escape, while the poor unfortunate girls are made to suffer. Some fine night the police will drop in on these places when the rooms are not occupied by girls from the west side resorts, but by those from a different walk in life—and then there will be a wholesale sensation.

ALPHABET OF PROVERBS.

A grain of prudence is worth a pouud of craft. Boasters are cousins to liars.

Denying a fault doubles it. Envy shoots at others and wounds herself.

Foolish fear doubles danger. God teaches us good things by our own hands.

He has hard work who has nothing to do. It costs more to revenge wrongs than to suffer them.

Kuavery is the worst trade. learning makes a man fit company for himself.

Modesty is a guard to virtue. Not to hear conscience is the way to silence It.

One hour to-day is worth two to-mor-row. Proud looks make foul work in fair faces.

Quiet conscience is quiet sleep. Richest is he who wants least. Small faults indulged are little thieves that let in greater ones.

The boughs that bear most hang lowest. Upright walking is sure walking. Virtue and happiness are mother and

ABOUT WOMEN.

Singular how sentiment changes with the modes of a century! Did you ever

Things have changed. The girl of 18 today is hardly finished school, seldom in society, and she very rarely marries until she has tasted two seasons of social joys. To be sure, even with this late marrying, divorces, are more numerous than in olden time. But then, they are less frowned upon.

Even a broken engagement in other days was a stigma which no yotlng woman cared to bring upon herself. And the broken engagement is often a blessing in disguise!

The moral of the whole affair seems to be that young people should beware of impulsive bethrothals. Boys and girls who are scarcely out of their teens cannot be regarded as having any fixity of mind, and the chances are that before the hymeneal altar is reached both will have seen that they were mistaken. When this stage is reached it is infinitely better to draw back before the final step has been taken which may ruin two lives.

"If you don't want the world to know that you have done a thing, don't do it," was the sage observation of an ancient philosopher. The advice has a renewed force now when women are becoming more and more emancipated, and are taking up the pursuits and occupations and even the sports and pleasures that used to be considered man's especial prerogatives. Whether women's faces are more mobile and more ready to receive an imprint, or whether women are less given to self-restraint, and so express more of their inner feelings, is not definitely understood but the fact remains that on nearly every feminine face is indelibly stamped some impress of her favorite pursuit or amusement.

The bicycle face is well known, with its tightly drawn muscles, resolute, tense expression and an underlying air of resignation, as if it were saying: "If death whirls aronnd the next corner I will meet it with fortitude." The long-distance lens of the golf eye is also growing common, but the card face is comparatively new. The more experienced Sherlock Holmes of society claim that they can detect the difference between the whist face and the countenance molded by progressive euchre, but the card face in general is recognizable by the veriest tyro.

There are women who have thrown themselves into card playing so forcibly, with such intense excitement, that it is no longer a diversion, but a serious task. Whether they play for money or points or for some trumpery prize which they would not admit to their drawing room except as an evidence of their skill at the game, the result is the. same. The strain on their nerves is expressed by closely drawn brows and an eye eager and watchful for an opponent's plays and misplays, while greed and the desire for gain show themselves in ugly lines about the mouth. This description applies, of course, to the worst victims of the craze, but the same symptoms in a more or less modified form, are appearing on the faces of not a few of society's maids and matrons.

A woman who has evidently had some experience guarantees that if the following rules are carefully followed a wife can surely spoil a good husband Vow vengeance on all his relations. Pay no attention to household expenses. Make a fuss about cigar smoke in the house. Give as much as he can earn in a month for anew bonnet. Tell him as plainly as you can you married him for a living. Raise a row if he dares to bow politely to a lady friend. Tell him the children inherit all their mean traits of character from his side of the family. Keep the parlor for company and d~ 't let him put a foot in of a picked up meal pert strangers. Get nan next door gets

Ifford it or not. Let it

out when you are quite mad that you wish you had married some oU "-.fellow you used to go with. When he you ten dollars to lay aside for a "sore foot," give it to the first peddler that comes along for a pair of plaster paris vases. Give him to understand, as soon as possible after the honeymoon, that kissing is well enough for spooney lovers, hat for married folks it is confoundedly silly.

The street car behavior of women in winter could be materially improved, hat in comparison with their conduct in summer the rudeness of the cold weather mouths becomes geatie oourtesy, for, with the advent of the open car, it seems as though the fair sex should be dnbbfd the tfbtftjjr sex and their demeanor severely commented on, though in so doing we know, of course, that we are courting a very deluge of anathemas for oar boldness in taking such a stand against our sisters.

Though one swallow does not constitute a summer nor one woman typify the whole sex, yet it is the single examples that bring discredit on the generality, and if a tittle talk to the here-and-there ones will benefit the great majority we are willing to ran the risk of being called officious and horrid—If nothing worse by those who know that the shoe fits.

To br with, *a -i writer in tbe Pi" idelphk. lime* did ever see a wo *a

move up from the end seat to let another one in. even though that other one is loaded down with a baby, a bag and an umbrella? Not a bit of it. She has secured the choice spot and there she will remain if the heavens fall, to say nothing of the woman, the baby, the bag and the umbrella. She not only will not move, but if possible makes it harder for the newcomer by sticking out her feet or so adjusting her parasol that the desperate mother must take the improvised hurdle or fall backward into the street. It is all in vain for the conductor to suggest, "Please move up a little, madam." She won't do it, and the incoming passengers have to reach their seats as best they can with no aid from the stony-visaged individual, who undoubtedly regards herself as the aggrieved party.

That is one type theu there is a second who revels in attempting to get out fully a block before her corner is reached, in all probability because she enjoys standing on the toes of the person in the end seat and disarranging the hair and coiffure of the one in front of her as she rides in upright attitude to her destination. She thinks she is polite—oh, dear, yes, of course she does. Doesn't she say "Excuse me" every time she walks on a pet corn or knock a hat sideways. Of course she does, but so does the Frenchman reiterate "Pardon, madame," the while he goes right on trampling over yon until you begin to think Gallic politeness a myth.f And then the woman who stands and sizes up the car, choosing from the sidewalk where she will sit, the while the motorman looks back in impatient inquiry and the conductor does his best to shove her in willy nilly. If she is not suited, however, she will not get in, and after an annoying wait the car will go on, leaving her to express her indignation to the loiterers, who always take a fiendish joy in these scenes. And then there is the abnormally fat woman who knows how many each seat should accommodate and who never takes into consideration her extra adiposity, so that when she notes four where five are generally allowed she squeezes in, with the appalling result that the end ones have to hang over or drop out entirely. Such a catastrophe does not disturb her, however she continues to smile blandly in her fat and benign way, severly conscious that she knew what was what and acted accordingly. And then there is—but why enumerate? It seems mean to go on tearing our sex so ruthlessly to pieces, so let the pen rest, and each one of us resolve individually to be a little more considerate, a little less selfish, a little more womanly, a little less assertive and there will be no occasion for any one to criticise our conduct in either the closed cars or the open ones.

The Vigo County Fair.

The annual fair of the Vigo Agricultural Society will be held on the 30th and 31st of August, and tbe 1st, 2d and 3d of September, and promises to eclipse all previous affairs of the kind. A special effort will be made in the way of entertainment on Wednesday, which will be set apart for bicycle day There will be eight races, for which the first prizes will aggregate $330, and enough special prizes have already been offered by the business men to run the total prizes for these races up to $700. In addition to this there will be an interesting programme of horse races on Thursday and Friday.

Anew feature of the fair this year will be the night show. The halls will be brilliantly lighted with electricity, as will be the grounds, affording a pleasant place to spend an evening. The new departure is likely to prove very popular.

A number of other interesting features have been arranged for, and the indications are that the 1897 fair will be the most enjoyable Jthe Vigo Agricultural Society has ever given. ________

Terre Haute has had an offer to become a member of the Inter-State Base Ball League, succeeding Wheeling. W. Va. The matter has not been placed in exactly that shape, but a telegram to Henry F. Schmidt yesterday put it in about that light. Wheeling has a strong club, but has had hard luck and is in last place, and as a consequence tbe attendance lias been such that there is no money in it for tbe owners of the club. Tbe clubs composing the league are Toledo, Mansfield, Dayton, Springfield, and Youngstown, Ohio, Fort Wayne, Ind., Newcastle, Pa., and Wheeling. The league has been in existence for three years, and while there are several cities in it smaller than Terre Haute, it has always managed to pall through tbe season, and has developed a number of players who are now prominent in larger company.

DEATH OF ALEXANDER THOMAS.

It Occurred Monday Evening, From Apoplexy—A Severe L.oss to the Masonic Fraternity in This State.

Alexander Thomas, ex-Mayor of this city, and one of the most prominent members of the Masonic fraternity in this state, died suddenly at his home on Vandalia street, Monday evening, from apoplexy. He had started to a neighboring grocery, but felt the attack coming on him and retraced his steps, arriving home just in time to call to his wife, in whose arms he died. Deceased was a native of Coschoton. Ohio, and was born sixty-eight years ago. He dame to this city in the early fifties, since which time he had been promiuently identified with the city's material interests. He was a blacksmith by trade, and in 1871 was nominated by the Republicans as their candidate for mayor, as the representative of the laboring element. He was given the nickname on that account, of "Horny-handed Aleck," and it clung to him for many years. He made a remarkable race and was elected by a handsome majority. He made a good mayor, and was re-elected two years later. Several years ago he was nominated and elected a justice of the peace, a position that, like all others he occupied, he filled with credit. His wife and three children survive him, Harry, who is in the west, George, who is a resident of Louisiana, and Mrs. Mary Mewhinney, of Glendale.

His funeral will take place to-morrow afternoon, and will be under the auspices of Terre Haute Lodge, No. 19, A. F. & A. M., of which he was secretary.

It is a striking coincidence, that on the same day that he died, The Mail receteved a letter from Frederick Schwingrouber (who was elected city clerk at the same time Mr. Thomas was chosen Mayor, was re-elected with him, in 1873, and who was prominent in Masonry with him, from his home in Hoboken, N. J.,) telling of the fact that he was broken in health and nearly blind, and for that reason would be compelled to stop his subscription to The Mail, of which he had been for years a regular reader.

While the death of Mr. Thomas will be a severe loss to the city it is in Masonic circles that it will be the most severely felt. He had been for years prominent in the order, and had filled various positions of honor and trust in it. At the time of his death he was secretary of Terre Haute lodge, the largest and one of the oldest in the* state, and was one of the trustees for the Masonic real estate. Hon. Thomas B. Long, himself one of the most prominent Masons in the state and a life-time friend and co-worker of Mr. Thomas, has prepared for The Mail the following estimate of the character and standing of tbe deceased in Masonic circles

The announcement of this death will doubtless occasion the most profound sorrow in every Masonic community, in every lodge, in every chapter, in every council, in every commaudery of the state of Indiana, for his long attendance in the several grand bodies of all these departments of masonry, has made him a marked and familiar figure for more than a score of years. Over all of these, except the Grand Lodge, he has presided, having been Grand High Priest of Royal Arch Masons, Illustrious Grand Master of Royal and Select Masters, and Grand Commander of Knights Templar. In all of these bodies, too, he has rendered valuable and efficient services on ruling and leading committees, upon whose learning, skill and experience so much depends in the treatment of innumerable subjects, the consideration of countless questions annually arising, and the speedy dispatch of the business of the yearly sessions, all the transactions of these being subject to the criticism of the Masonic world, since they were published in annual volumes and exchanged with similar publications in every country on earth.

In addition to the honors and services already referred to, he was for more than a score of years Most Excellent President of Indiana Council of High Priests, which meets annually during tbe sessions of the Grand Chapter, to give newly elected presiding officers of subordinate chapters an opportunity to receive tbe magnificent degree known as the Order of High Priesthood. With a presence as impressive as could ever have been that of Aaron, the Grand High Priest of the ancient Jews, he conferred this degree on classes averaging twenty-five each yearduring all this period, and in that most select department of Masonry his loss will be felt in an unequalled degree, and bis place be found most difficult to fill. That be was wide awake to every interest important to tbe craft is shown in tbe active assistance he rendered in the effort to establish in Indiana the old and highly attractive and instructive degree of Saper-Excellent Master, and in taking a leading part in its ceremonies doling the promulgation at this grade of Masonry to prominent and active Masons from every part of the state by Terre Haute Council No. 8, Royal and Select Masters.

There existed in Indiana dnrlng the years preceding as for quarter of a century or more a grant triumvirate of Masons having tbe best interest of tbe craft at heart—William Hacker, Harvey G. Hazel* rigg and Alexander Thomas. Tbe second of these died about seventeen years ago, tbe first was laid to rest in 1891 and the last will be borne to his earthly repose by a multitude of his brethren on to-morrow. All this is sad Indeed, and would be a momentous calamity and irretrievable in its effect were it not that the great fraternity which noned them and which repaid w.^l valuable and faithful serv.i.esis

ever renewing its energies with the zeal and ability of others who promptly step into the ranks from which the faithful but possibly weary workers are reluctlantly dropping out. So the paradox exists—that Masonry, though white with the frosts of time, is ever fresh with the vigor of youth.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

An Anderson (Ind.) man stole a load of corn in order to secure mouey enough to buy a marriage licehse. He is now in jail, and the wedding has been indefinitely postponed.

An official in the French detective department says that numbers of ladies well known in Parisian society do not hesitate to offer their services as detectives on condition that they are paid. Some of them, in fact, receive pay varying from $150 to $250 a month.

Habit is a queer thing. An old gentleman in Moutville, Mo., who said he could not see to sign his name until given a pair of glasses, was given a pair from which the lenses had been removed. He signed the paper nicely, and declared he could see better with those than any others he had tried.

In a recent article in Science Dr. Brinton calls attention to the fact that the missionary Haverstadt was so well pleased with the language of the Araucanian Indians of Chili that he published a work on it in 1777, advocating its adoption as a universal tongue by the world, a ready-made Volapuk.

Ling Fang, the new Chinese Minister at Washington, is a member of the Episcopal church. He was educated in London and was made a member of the bar of that city in 1H77. For along time he has been the legal adviser of Li Hung Chang, and he is regarded as one of the best specimens of the civilized and educated Chinatneu.

Edward Marsden.'a full-blooded Eskimo from Alaska, Is studying law at the summer school at Ann Arbor. Mich He was converted to Christianity in his early youth and graduated from the Sitka Industrial school. He expects to return to his native country and use his acquired knowlege to help improve the condition of his race.

So far the 3,300,000 people of Texas have enjoyed only three watermelons per capita but there are nine more per capita coming says the Galveston News. Just to think, grand old Texas produces only about 40,000,000 watermelons, weighing in the aggregate only 800,000,000 pounds. Why, they could be packed in 30,000 cars and would make only about 2,(XX) train loads. Our 80,000,000 cantaloupes will make up the deficit, however.

It is said of Mr. Winans, the millionaire who died a few weeks ago, that he refused to pay bills except once every six years, when he had a general settling up. This strange rule was not because he was reluctant to part with his money, but because he thought it ought to be the privilege of so wealthy a man never to have to think about money. Tradesmen as a rule were satified with this arrangement, knowing that their bills would be paid without any dispute as to their charges, and Mr. Wfnans would deal with none who would not agree to his custom.

In 1890, while living in Duluth, Julius O. Swanson purchased 750 shares in a Colorado mine near Colorado Springs, paying 10 cents a share for it. A few years later he offered the lot for $7.50. His friends laughed at him and refused to buy. In 1893 he went to Eay Claire, Wis., and accepted a position in a shoe store at a small salary. Fearing he would have to pay taxes on bis Colorado property, be tried to give his shares away. No person wanted them even as a gift. Swanson was industrious, and a year ago, opened a shoe store of bis own and did a good business. Recently Colorado Springs parties offered Swanson $37,000 for his 750 shares. He sold his shoe store and left for Colorado Springs. He says $37,000 for $7.50 is good enough for him and he will sell.
