OS THE QUI VIVE.

It was a very small boy that once said, "Popper, can God do everything?'' "Of course he can!" "Well, can he make a two-year old calf in a minute?" There was no answer. It seems to Q. V. that a contractor or

engineer

who can't do a two-

years' job in a month and run away and hide, had better leave Terre Haute. Is there not too much detraction and roasting of those who work for the public? Are they not knocked down and then kicked because they are not standing up?

People have been complaining for two years because north Sixth street is not paved and its sidewalks made fit to walk on. Q. V. has walked up north Fifth street to see how it looks compared with Sixth street. From Cherry to the railroad it is a stirring scene of industry, improvement and progress. The fine asphalt roadway is laid and all at once on nearly every square, on both sides the pavers are putting down the admirable cement walks, which seem nearly perfection. True, there are piles of gravel, cinders, and sand and mortar beds, and dug-up walks, and there is dirt on the street, because the pavers are at work, but soon the walks will all be finished, the pavers will haul away their gravel and sand, and north Fifth street, as fine as any part of the city,, can be swept and garnished, then, if it is not ever after kept clean, scold, kick and roast, but first let the work be done.

Q. V. is rejoiced to see the work progressing on the sewers and streets. Workingmen have been wishing for the city to give them work. Business men want the workingmen to be earning good wages, to pay their bills and buy. The work is here—don't obstruct it—push it along, for it is a good thing. It is the shower before the steady rain of prosperity.

Q. V. joined the crowd of spectators that daily watches the growing new theater and a man who seemi*d to have the least to do and the most remote interest in the work, asked him to step inside, "just because he had nothing else to do." The building is so far along that one is able to get a very good idea of how the new auditorium is going to look.

Mr. Floyd, who was the guide, says that the balcouy and gallery which seem to balance at their centers on the pillars, like a cantilever bridge, are entirely new. It is certainly very fine to have every seat in the house in front of the pillars, while the projecting galleries are as solid and unshakeable as if on double rows of oolumns. The broad open spaces behind the_ seats in each of the three stories, entered from spacious halls, are goiug to give the theater a very roomy, airy, comfortable appearance and take away the sense of being jammed. A box will be on each side of the stage, tu the ground floor and balcony. Next to each balcony box, which is on the second floor, will be an o|H»n loge which probably will be more in demand than any other group of seats.

The very best wrinkle, almost enough so to condone the name of "Grand," is the eight elegant, dressing rooms for the actors. They will secure the good will of the professionals and send them upon the stage prepared to do their best for a Terre Haute audience. The light scheme is easily understood as one can imagine close rows of electric bulbs which will run around the balcony and gallery ami the electric lamps which will thickly stud the ceiling, being recessed into Its ornamented squares. There will always be a clean stage. The heroine will not raise a cloud of dust as she falls in white satin and a swoon for no scenes and grooves* will obstruct the floor, but counter-balanced by weights, each piece of scenery will lie dropped from aliove. and raised again to leave the clear stage, which looks out through a proscenium opening of 34x35 feet, a sixe which is being made the standard throughout the country. After the easy very Mr. Floyd has explained his building one will understand that architecture is both an exact science and a line art.

Q. V. after comparing some reports of the late Oliver divorce case and of a disgraceful affair of this week thinks that such unnecessarily ami brutally frank reports are not mini ml by the average reader, The masters of rvportorial style that work on the large city papers, omitting the Enquirer. understand how to present fully enough, for adult people to understand, objectionable case*. without un-1 necessary boldness and baldness of langunge. They might be studied and imitated to great advantage by young men who aspire to hieher places. I

It was, however, issued by Grover & Madison, who used to run the old Eagle foundry. It was secured by individual liability and real estate and redeemable in current funds. It was signed by Albert L&nge and accepted by Grover & Madison, and was really a draft upon and accepted by them, instead of a promise to pay. Silver dollars were very scarce in Terre Haute in 1855.

A Popular People'* Fair. The county fair is near at hand. The catalogues announcing liberal premiums for all the articles that men and women can exhibit are out, and are worth a little study. There are inducements for the women of Terre Haute and Vigo county to prepare for this year's fair and exposition some of their triumphs in the fine art. domestic and culinary lines.

jfcBOUT WOMEN:

A woman May not be beautiful, bat. if she possesses a graoefull carriage she has a power of attraction that mere regularity of feature might well envy. All grace consists in motion. The great secret is to unite in the same movement apparent contradictions—quickness and softness, vivacity and mildness, gentleness aid spirit. Ease is the essence of grace. Whfti Milton describes the grace of an angel, It is "smooth-sliding without step", a^fl GuMo's angels, graceful as Taglioni or Duvernay. seem to have been painted after Milton's description. The seat of grace Is in all parts of the body that have motion— the legs, hands, arms, head, lips, eyebrows, and particularly the neck. As the head Is almost continually in motion, the muscles of the neck, in order that the head ma(y move with freedom and ease, should be extremely supple. This suppleness m»jt be acquired by practice. French women possess it in an extraordinary degree. A French woman, sitting between two men, will address the same phrase to both of them, by a free and easy motion of h# head, without even moving her shoulders. The women of other countries can seldom do that. When they turn the head, there is a stiffness in the joints or muscles of the neck, making them turn the body with it. Nothing is ever graceful that is forced or unnatural. The smallest degree affectation destroys grace, and hence thb necessity of attending to that preciou's rule—"Rien de trop"—do not overstep the modesty of nature. To trespass against this precept is to become theatrical in manner.

Busy women continually resolve to "take things easier," "to rest on their oars for a season" and drift on the river of indolence, if only one hour a day. We embark on the daily voyage fully intending to do this, but before nightfall realize that we have been shipwrecked on the Scylla of duties, real or imaginary, or engulfed in the Charybdys of social hurry.

Why not really make up our minds that one hour daily should be devoted to recrea-' tion or resting in some manner? Either we will walk an hour, lie down an hour, rest an hour, sew, knit, do fancy work, visit or chat with a congenial friend for an hour. In short, we will overturn our common methods for one brief space daily. The result of a month's fair trial of this plan will encourage to further effort in the same direction, and in faithful observance of some such system we shall renew our "youth like, the e^g&Sr" white many the worn and toilsome places will take/m new beauties "and bloom as the rose."

If the society girl would be truly up to date hereafter, she must join the ranks of the cyclist. The latest social fad is the evening bicycle reception. An event of this sort does not utilize the name of the bicycle to give it standing, as it were, but because it is strictly a bicycle affair. Only cyclists are invited. In fact, it would be a very great bore to any person than one interested in a wheel to attend. Like the bicycle itself, it has reached the crest of the -wave of popularity in a remaakably short space of time. It seems to have come to stay.

A sweet-faced woman went to the Joliet penitentiary Sunday morning, and under the magic of her heart, her smile, her burning words of sympathy and love, the

on the gloomy faces of the convicts who listened to her. She was like a mother talking to her own boys. She went to the penitentiary to call upon the convicts to live the lives of christian men, though they were wearing the hated uniform of the prison and had none but bitter thoughts of the outside world.

hardly of earth, came over the face of the woman, as she thought of the glorious field that lay open for christian culture. Her lips smiled at the thoughts in her mind, and her eyes shone with sweet purpose under her heavy brows, like bright stars in a somber sky.

No scene like that has ever been witnessed before in the Joliet penitentiary. The woman was Mrs. Maud Ballington Booth, who came to sow the seed first of true manliness in the hearts of the embittered prisoners, and then to band them together as members of the Volunteer Prisoners' league.

Not-a hundred and one things that the average man thinks is the really impelling heart cause that presses from his lips the utterance, "Will you be mine?" No, the wearable woman, is, first of all, a womanly woman. She need not of necessity be plain, but she is not too beautiful to find nothing on earth so pleasant as praise of her physical perfections. She is 4 cheery, comfortable, unselfish creature, not so fiercely intellectual that she makes other lessgifted afraid to open their mouths in her presence, yet she must not be a dummy. Men do not like stupid women, but they abhor those who show that they are brighter than themselves. The wearable wonub^ is sunshiny and lovable whether the day is wet or fine, the exchequer bursting or at a low ebb. She is sufficiently whimsical not to be tiresome, yet is not fatiguing in her caprices. In fact, she is just the sort of creature God intended Eve to be.

the Library's Old and New Books. An interesting .Item in regard to Terre Haute'a early history was made by a daily contemporary by extracts from a copy of the Indiana Gazeteer, 1838, which ia owned by a Danville man.

A copy of this old work has been in the oity public library for years. At the library is a case containing a number of dingy old books of considerable interest. Thjfiite is this Gaxeteer of 1883^ which deacrtbes Terre Haute when it had 900 people, a||ji the towns of Newport, Clinton, Rockvitfe, Eugene .and Montezuma at a time w$jpn they were rivals of Terr© Haute, wlftle Lafayette and Vincennes had more businM and people. There is a Geographical Dictionary, of 1805, containing "a succinct account of Indiana," which then extended from Ohio to the Mississippi, and from t^e Ohio 'river to the Lake of the Wijgds,' Wa$,idivided into three counties and ^ontaided' about {,000 white people. It sfeys of Indiana in 1805 that "the passing traveler is often amused by the bounding of deers fend buffaloes, the noise of turkies and other fowl, and is frequently alarmed by the howling of wolves and the cry of bears." *Ehen there are Morses Gazeteer of 1808, Malte-Brun's Universal Geography, 1827, Ellicott's Journal of 1814, describing his journey from Philadelphia to New Orleans, to settle the Spanish boundaries. Valuable works are an odd kijoe t£*the Annual Rq^iatqr, 11760,, on a VbTtfSftTot the' JoufnSror Con£ress7 1782, and a Catholic breviary, 1730, handsomely printed and well thumbed by diligent use. There are others, very old, of more or less value. These books are the remnants of the earlier libraries that existed in Terre Haute.

As for new books the Terre Haute library has some very excellent and full departments. It has a fine collection of modern histories and travels, that are not as well-worn as the books ia the department of fiction, but that is the case in all libraries. It has a pretty good lot of bound magazines, extremely useful in research, although not so complete as the Normal School or the Polytechnic collections.

Hottest Weather for Years. The first three days of the week were as sunny as Sahara and as hot as Tophet. Monday, the mercury rose to 100, after beating all records for seven years on Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday, reliable thermometers on Main street touched 103 and 104. At 9:00 in the evening the tube showed 90 on Monday and 92 on Tuesday, with an entire absence of breeze. One citizen said his sleeping room was 95 at midnight. He claims that a Jaeger woolen night-shirt is the coolest thing to wearprobably it keeps the heat out. Late Tuesday night the predicted coolness from Nebraska arrived. At seven, next morning, portentous clouds swept from the north at great speed, a cool blast of air broke the torrid backbone, and at 2.-00 p. m. the mercury was about 13 degrees lower than the day before at the same hour.

Among the casualeties from excessive beat were the following: H. S. Judd. the contractor, had a touch of paralysis from the effects of heat.

George Pfeiffer, of Reese & Snider's lumber yard, was in a critical condition for several days.

Eddie Rogers was overcome by beat at the rolling mill and is now low with the typhoid fever at the Union Home.

Thos. Marshall, a laborerer at the Prox & Brinkman foundry, was prostrated. Albert John, a brewery employe, was overcome by heat and removed to his home.

Joe ifreitfelder. of Kleeman's was also prostrated and made seriously 01. Several men employed on the new theater and the sewers were forced to quit work, while all the men on the canal system had to stop one afternoon.

Four cooks at the New Filbeck quit work during the dinner hour of one hot day.

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Remains of what seems to be a Roman basilica, with columns three feet in diameter, have been found in tearing down a shop in the city of Chester, England.

There are said to be in England 180.000 families dependent on the bicycle trade. This year persons in the British Empire will spend about $117,000,000 on bicycles.

One hundred and thirty miles of the Beira railroad in Rhodesia have been completed, carrying the line beyond the tsetse fly belt. It has taken five years to build, and for every mile of road two English lives have been sacrificed.

Milwaukee supplies the United States with the bulk of the Hartz Mountaiu canaries, and there is no great crime in the deception, for the Milwaukee bird is really an improvement on the imported article, having just as fine a voice and being much hardier.

The people of Wyoming are experiencing a generous share of the general prosperous business condition of the oountry. The two leading industries of the State are sheep and cattle raising, and in these two industries there is an increase this year over last in this State in value of aver 15,000,000.

His Holiness Pope Leo uses snuff. It is very fine snuff and is made by a Baltimore firm expressly for the Pope's use. It is made from the very finest materials obtainable and before it is packed in the elegant boxes in which it is shipped direct to the Vatican it is sprinkled with attar of roses, it is the costliest snuff in the world.

The 250 shingle mills in Washington are working to their fullest capacity to supply the Eastern demand for shingles, which is he greatest ever known.. In May ashington shipped more than 1,800 cars of red cedar shingles. The June shipments exceeded 2,000 cars, amounting to 320,000,000 shingles, and the July shipinents will exceed these figures. These are the largest shipments in the history of the shingle business in the Northwest.

It was not until 1878 that the manufacture of hairpins was begun in the United States. Previous to that time those used in this country were brought from England or France. There are now several large factories in the Uunited States that turn out an article equal if not superior to the best finished foreign-made pin. The trade is such a large one that it takes no less than 50,000 packages, each containing from twelve to twenty pins, to supply the •holesale dqmanfl^daily 4^ New YorjK alone.

Judge Wellhouse is called the apple king of the world. His orchards In Kansas consist of 1,080 acres, containing 100,000 apple trees, and are located in the counties of Leavenworth, Miami and Osage. In thirteen years he has picked over 400,000 bushels of apples, and whenever he has a little money to spare he buys more land and sets out some apple trees. Growing apple trees is his passion, just as gambling is the passion of others.

A Portland, Ore., company is doing a thriving business in horse meat. Not long ago the company received an order from France for 5,000 barrels of this meat and since then work at the factory has been brisk. Horses are killed at the rate of about fifty a day and the meat is carefully inspected by an in pec tor sent from Paris before it is packed for shipment. The horses used are the half wild animals of Oregon, known as cay uses, and are bought for about 12.50 a head. The Parisians were the first adopt horse flesh as an article of food and the demand for it in the French capital is constantly increasing.

Frank Prox finished his apprenticeship at

TWENTY-EHiHTII YEAR

Goslerand made the piece of coppersmith's work or "meisterstneck," which entitled him to become a full-fledged journeyman. Everybody does not know it, but Mr. Prox was an expert coppersmith.

Mi4.s Cox received the kindest attention from the ex-Terre Hauteans and through them got a better view of the interior German life. She found Gosler most charming. It is au ancient city with moat and walls, now used for a promenade. It is up among the Hartz mountains, in the midst of the most picturesque scenery, traversed by mountain walks. On reaching flat Berlin she much missed the Harts mountains.

Nearly one hundred of the best bouses in the city signed the paper promising to release their employes to take part in the Tuesday parade, and to allow all employes to attend either the the Tuesday or Wednesday meeting.

First Terre Haute Klondlker. Mr. Lampe, prospector for the Terre Haute company projected by Dr. T. W. Moorhead, started for the Klondike region last Sunday. From all accounts he is an interesting character and the company is fortunate in engaging one whose training and experience have prepared him for just such work as exploring the frozen gold fields. Lampe, who has been a valued employe of the Central Telephone company, is a Finn, and was born and raised in a cold, mountainous country near Hammerfest in Norway, which is the most northern town in Europe. It is several hundred miles nearer the north pole than Kloodike is, and l^ampe had fnll experience of the long, cold winters, short, hot summers, and the terrible flies and musquitos that go through common netting, of the Arctic zone. He was a sailor before the mast for years before be drifted to Terre Haute. He learned in the north land to travel on skees. a variety of snow shoe which will be of great use in the mountains and snowfields of Alaska. Lampe left here, with his baggage done up in sailor-like kits instead of in trunks, for Seattle, with the intention of working his way from there to the Yukon as a sailor if he could save time or money by it. He Will look for an old friend in Alaska, for the man in charge of the government herd of reindeer was his schoolmate. He will have to follow the reindeer and not the man if, as be says, men always have to go where the animals want to go as they will not follow the men, for they must go where the peculiar kind of moss grows upon which they live. Lampe has impressed those who know him as

being

ab,

solutely reliable and honest. May good luck attend him and his employers.
