ON THE QUI VIVE.

Rev. W. H. Hickman, who may safely be called the J. R. Sovereign of the Terre Haute pulpit, is having a real good time as a wind-up of his career in Terre Haute, in denouncing about everything in sight. A few weeks ago he denounced the church social as an institution for wrong, although it waa remarked that his feelings in the matter had not cut down the number of money-making affairs in his church during his pastorate here. Last Sunday he went after the bicycle, and he went after it hard. There is no doubt a great deal of truth in what the Rev. Hickman says about the abuse of the wheel, but what seems so peculiar about it is that he should have discovered it so late in the day, especially as he is rider of the wheel himself. If one has the courage of bis Convictions he shouldn't wait until his left foot is outside the city limits, and his right raised to follow it before he expresses his views about things in general.

If any reader of The Mail doubts the truth of Rev. Hickman's remarks about the use and abuse of the wheel, let him take a ride over any of the good roads leading from the city about dusk almost any evening. He would be surprised to discover the number of married men who have riding dates with other men's wives, and the young women, without husbands, who are called upon to ride into the country at dust with male friends, without chaperones. If all the country roads leading from the city that are passable to bicyclists could tell their tales there would be many smash-ups for the delectation of the public and the divorce courts. Therefore when Rev. Hickman inveighs against the bicycle's abuse he has a more than ordinarily fruitful topic—even for him.

It is too bad that we haven't a whipping post in this state for such unspeakables as the fellow Ward, who was arrested this week while trying to force his wife to sell her virtues to buy him beer. Death, unless It be a living one, is too good for such a fellow as that,

Not very many men have the courage of their convictions to such an extent asi Gruenholz, the basket maker of this city, who in a recent experience meeting of the Prohibitionists told of his refusal to fill an order of baskets for the brewing company here because they were to be used in delivering bottled goods to customers who didn't care to have the public see the regular cases of beer delivered at their houses. Gruenholz Is a pronounced Pro hlbitionlst, and when told for what purpose the Jjaskets were to be used* Tusctf to accept the order* although It was for two dozen, with the privilege of increasing the order to five hundred. All persons prominent In prohibition and rellglou are not so conscientious as the basket maker. Men have been known to take a prominent part In the regular Wednesday evening praper meetings, and raise their voices high in song and thanksgiving at the triumphs over Satan, and railed at the various sins that fast are ruining our young men—while their consciences didn't prevent them from accepting from unfortunate women exhorbitaht rents for their property to be used for immoral purposes. We might question the basket maker's business tact, but we can admin? his consistency, for consistency is such a rarity nowadays that the average person requires to be introduced to it formally when It is met. All the same. I think 1 should have made the baskets had 1 Iwen a basket maker, with such an order placed with me. And so would nine hundred and ninety-nine men of a thousand, too, if given the opportunity. It just happened that Mr. Gruenholz was the thousandth man.

All summer long the railroads have been running cheap excursions out of the city of Terre Haute, carrying Its people to various points at fares that seem almost nothing. When special rates were asked for the trotting meeting the reply was made that no special rates could be asked because there were no special attractions beyond the regular races. That answer has been wiped out in the announcement that the wonderful Star Pointer, 1:59^, has been secured for a trial against his own record on Tuesday of the races. If the railroads will be wide awake to their own interests they will make a special $1.00 rate over the several lines into this city on that date, running as far north as Logansport and Danville, as far west and northwest as Effingham, Mattoon and Decatur, and as far south as Evansville, they will bring a crowd to this city such as never has been seen here before on a similar occasion. The Trotting Association offers to the owner of Star Pointer an exceedingly large sum for this trial, and with the indications all in his favor for breaking the world's record, the peo-

ing thi* city a fair deal this year—nor for several rears past-

the world. If the railroads do the right thing, and there seems to be no reason for their refusal to do bo, Terre Haute will see more strangers on her streets and at the most famous track in the world than she ever before bad gathered in her hospitable limits.

The principal officers of the Terre Haute insurance company, the North American Life and Surety Company, held a meeting in this city this week, the following officers being present: Messrs. H. L. Mai pes, general manager, A. C. Chambers, superintendent of agencies, W. L. Bieler. of Indianapolis, and Messrs. McKeen, Miller and Pugh, of this city. The form of the policy to be issued by the new company was discussed, and adopted. It is said to be the most original as well as the strongest policy ever adopted by an insurance company doing an old line business. It has in it a clause to the effect that any person carrying insurance in the company, who may become totally disabled shall, upon proper proof of the same, be entitled to draw from the company the full amount of his policy. Some accident companies have adopted a policy similar to this, as well as some mutual companies, but it is believed to be the first instance on record of a policy of this character offered by a company doing a legitimate old line business.

THE NEW STORE.

W. H. Albrecht A Co. Will Open their New Store Some Time During the Coming Week.

Although the exact date cannot yet be announced, the handsome new store of W. H. Albrecht & Co. will be thrown open to the public some day next week, with a stock of brand new goods, and with a new establishment from top to bottom. W. H. Albrecht & Co. are the successors to the firm of Espenhain & Albrecht, whose large stock of dry goods was totally destroyed in the disastrous fire at Naylor's opera house a year ago last July. Several months after L. B. Root & Co. moved from their old building to their new store Mr. Albrecht made a lease of the old building, and it has been completely rebuilt making it one of the most attractive as well as one of the most thorough and convenient Of Terre Haute's many large stores. Then he went east and has been engaged for several months in buying goods for the new store. He has been unusually successful in this respect and bought the bulk of his large stock before the recent advance in prices, putting him in a position to offer many bargains in nearly every department of the immense establishment. And so, next week, with an entire stock of new goods, with a new store, new fixtures, and all that, the firm will throw open their doors, prepared to do business with the people with whom they were so long popular, and renew their reputation for fair dealing. The opening of this establishment means a great deal to the people of Terre Haute. At the time of the fire the firm was employing a force of about fifty-five clerks, and the throwing out of employment of this force was a

severe blow. Many of them secured em-

many of them left here When the store opens next week it will give employment to a force of not less than seventy-five clerks in the different departments.

The first two floors of the building will be devoted to the retail trade, the third and fourth to the jobbing trade, while the fifth floor will be used for work rooms for the window decorations and the many odds and ends connected with such a large establishment.

The history of this house furnishes an illustration of what energy and enterprise cau do. W. H. Albrecht, senior member of the new firm, came here from Belleville, 111., in 1877, and opened a store at No. 33 south Fourth street, in the south half of the building at present occupied by Wood, Williams & Co., the firm being Espenhain & Albrecht. Mr. Albrecht, who had charge of the business, soon proved himself a hustler, and the business grew so rapidly that the following year he was compelled to add the adjoining room on the north. In the fall of 1881 he took the corner room In the Opera house block, and In 1887 still another room was added, the one adjoining it on the east. Here the business continued to grow, and when the fire closed out his stock in July of last year, he waa doing one of the most satisfactory businesses in the city. In the new ston, with increased room, and therefore enlarged opportunities for displaying goods and handling stock, the new firm is destined to still further success. The new firm consists of W. H. Albrecht, junior jnember of the old firm, and Henry C. Al* brecht. his brother, who has been in the business since it started here, and has practically grown up with it. Their

Women guage a gown by its cost, men by its becoming neatness and completeness. For whom do women dress? Not for each other, surely, and if they dress to please the masculine eye let them look well to details. Corral a straying braid or button before it comes under this critical judgment, and though you may not be able to spend as much on your toilette as Miss Croesus over the way, you can have the proud satisfaction of knowing that you are always looked upon as a welldressed woman. jf

Only those who are interested in the tiny details of every day life are really happy, writes Mrs. Juliet V. Strauss, in the Rockville Tribune. Beware how you discard a lively concern as to the household menage and the progress of the garden. Hold fast to each little bit of excitement over the neighbor's business, and never for a moment lose interest in the hang of skirts and the latest cut in the jib of shirt-waists.

has tended to uproot us from that quiet terrestrial existence for which we were manifestly intended and start us upon long barren journeys of research and inquiry, the end of which is invariably ennui and ultimate despair. There is a strange sort of excitement connected with the beginning of. such a journey, very much such a feeling of exhilaration as accompanies a start to Australia or the Klondike. It is a cutting loose from the traditions of our fathers, and the first sensation is one of buoyancy and delight but alas! having weighed anchor and started upon the rudderless voyage, we soon find ourselves drifting and harborless. Then we see that the traditions of our fathers are pretty good things to hold to, and we long, ah so bitterly, for the old ways of life, even if they are a trifle humdrum. No adage it tr ter than the hackneyed one: "Where ignot pee is bliss 'twere folly to be wise." World-wise people are apt to look with fine contempt upon the "Babes in the Wood,'' as they call those who have not as yet been awakened to the cruel inslicereity of life, but for,all that the babes in the wood are the fortunate people, and those who have tasted of the tree of knowledge are the unfortunates, if their knowledge has led them away from the sweetness and simplicity of the oldfashioned life, deemed stupid only by those who have a superficial understanding of the deepest truths, and a total misconception of the purposes of our existence.

A death blow to married good-fellow-ship comes surely to the wife who persistently antagonizes her husband's natural tastes and inclinations and urges him to take his pleasures in her way. To argue and insist and perseverely to ask for reasons is to simply put her outside of his happiest hours and shuts the gate against her of the place where he acts spontaneously and freely as be likes. No measure

has so incurred. Every common interest the wife can grasp, outside of those to which family care is a part, is a buttress against a

Your feminine nature, which bears its burdens of maternity and all the multitude of duties by which we grow strong, is not mated to its fac-simile your husband is that stronger, different, masculine personality, without which your existence would be incomplete. You do not want to lean upon and look up to a reproduction of yourself, and your share of the perfect union is to find out and fit into your life the pursuits and tastes which make him different from you,

EUGENE V. DEBS.

A Sensational Speech at St. Louis— Geo. B. Lockwood's Estimate of His Character.

At the conference of the labor leaders in St. Louis this week, Eugene V. Debs carried the convention off its feet with one of his characteristic speeches regarding the encroachment of capital on the rights of labor, prophesying that the masses would before long arise against their oppressors, the federal courts be abolished, congress dispersed and the "sacred rights of the American freemen enthroned." He said that when the time came for bearing arms in this war against monopoly, he could be depended upon to be in front to say "come on," rather than in the rear asking them to "go ahead." In this connection, the following estimate of Mr. Debs will be of interest. It is from the pen of a former well known newspaper man—and a good one—Geo. B. Lockwood, of the Tribune, but now private secretary to Congressman Geo. W. Steele, of Marion. In his father's paper, the Peru Republican, he writes "The readers of the Republican in large part know Mr. Debs only through the unenviable part which he played in the famous railroad stike and riots of 1894. The Chicago newspapers are largely responsible for western opinion of Eugene Debs, and there is no doubt that they have exaggerated his defects, and minimized his good qualities. Within the knowledge of the writer, they have borne false witness against him. Public opinion of Mr. has therefore been formed upon, a

side of man's nature majority of us, the doctrine of spirituality -fa" iu almost universally misunderstood, anc^ ^asis. Many of the violent assertions at trlbuted to him were never made by him.

those who are most earnestly ardused about it go right ahead, living the Tmdst earthly sort of lives, given over to eating and drinking and to the little cares that hold us here, when all the spiritual knowledge in the world would fail. Simple human kindness is oftener mistaken for spirituality than any other earthly attribute, and it is well that this is so. and that those who practice it believe it a heaven-given faculty. There has been a

His calmer and more thoughtful statements have not been given publicity by these journals. "The noted labor leader has doubtless often been driven into extremes of speech and action under the spur of unjust criticism. To talk with Eugene Debs is to have one's harsher impressions of him dispelled. He talks with catching enthusiasm, with such evident sincerity, with such ingenious argumentation that the indifferent or hostile listener Is likely to find himself hearing with approval before he realizes it. His is not the manner nor the method of a coarse demagogue, but he has the appearance of a scholar and discourses with the finesse of a political philosopher. To say he is 'winning,' is to describe him. In private life, his con duct has always been above suspicion. He is scrupulous as regards his obligations. His business ability is such that he would doubtless have made a greater financial success as a business man than as an agitator. If he had been content to be more conservative, he has those qualitives which would have made him a power in political life. His weakness is the 'cu cumber' habit, but it is a weakness more apparent in many of his critics than in h'm. As a public speaker, his power is unusual. The Associated Press gave us no accounts of his remarkable meetings in New England last year, but he swayed thousands of manufacturing centers of the seaboard as few have moved eastern audiences since the days of Wendell Phillips and Henry Ward Beecher. His speeches, as published in New England during his tour, were remarkably con servative, his advice to workingmen being to'buy books instead of beer.' It is not Ihtended to discuss here the wisdom of any of the theories advocated by Mr. Debs. Suffice it to say that no man in this country has ever achieved such distinctive preeminence as a leader of organized labor.

What his future will be will depend on his ability to control not only himself, but the forces which he seeks to unloose. Nothing more forcibly suggests the fact that many metropolitan newspapers have not dealt fairly with Debs than the recent course of the Indianapolis press. When Debs talked of 'government by injunction' three years ago, he was denounced and ridiculed by the Indiahapolis Journal and News. When he assailed the courts he was held up as a traitorous demagogue. Recently Indianapolis has gone through a struggle on the question of three-cent street car fares. The minute it became apparent that the people of Indianapolis were not to have their way in the courts, the News and Journal fulminated against the company and the courts with as much violence as characterized the utterances of Eugene Debs in 18M. When an injunction was granted securing fivecent fares for the company, the Journal and News grew hysterical over 'government by injunction.' This suggests the

tercourse which in honeymoon days makes the husband delight himself in being always in his wife's society. It is better worth while to cultivate a knowledge of anything and everything that interests, him th*" it was In the beginning to wear idea that even with city newspapers, those his favorite dress and ring his pet songs. great moulders of public opinion who You may cling to him with every fibre of 1 speak with such authority, it sometimes a devoted heart and seek only his good in' makes a difference as to whose ox is gored,"

PEOPLE AND THINGS.

Perhaps the day will soon come when autograph letters from famous people will be as rare as rain in the desert, for the typewriter is fast doing away with the expressive letter penned by the labor of the originator and indicative in many ways of character and temperament. Even to-day many famous people let their secretaries sign their letters, and autograph-hunters are balked.

The recent confiscation of the photographs of the Princess Caraman-Chimay, in Paris, has led a Paris newspaper to investigate whose photographs are most sold by the picture dealers. The result shows that photographs of the beautiful dancer, Cleo de Merode, are in greater demand than those of any woman in Paris, while the likeness of King Menelik of Abysinia, occupies the foremost place in the sales of men's pictnres.

Quanah Parker, the big chief of the Comanches, who was erroneously reported murdered by an outlaw in the southwest, only to be found alive and well at Sherman, Tex., is the richest and in many respects the most civilized of American Indian*- He is the principal chief of his tribe, and lives in a 16,000 house in the midst of a great cattle ranch, over which range thousands of fine cattle and hundreds of well-bred horses. Parker's mother was a white woman, who was stolen in her infancy from her people by the Comanches. She married one of the warriors of the tribe, and when Quanah was a small boy she was recaptured by her friends and died of a broken heart because she was not allowed to rejoin her Indian husband and child. Quanah was made chief of the tribe, and has ruled it with great wisdom and foresight. He is very abstemious, never drinking anything that is stronger than coffee.

DEATH OF L. B. ROOT.

One of Terre Haute's Most Enterprising Merchants Passes Away—A Serious Loss to the Business World.

Terre Haute business circles suffered a severe loss this week in the death of Lewis B. Root, senior member of the firm of L. B. Root & Co., which occurred at the Fifth Avenue hotel, New York City, on Thursday morning. He had been ill for several weeks with the Intermittent fever, but the news of his sudden death came with a severe shock to the many personal and business friends of a man who had been iden#1 tifled with Terre Haute's business interests for the past forty years. C. M. Mills, nvanftger of the retail department of the stdre, was with Mr. Root at the time of his death, and the first intimation of that sad event was a dispatch from him to R.

O. Miller, resident member of the firm. Mr. Root was a native of Stockbridge, Mass., and began his business life in an humble way as a messenger for a Hartford dry goods house. He was cautious and saving, as well as energetic and ambitious, and he soon worked his'way to the front. When twenty years of age he came out here from Hartford to take a position with the leading dry goods store of the city, Edsall, Rice & Co., who were then running a store in the old National House block at Sixth and Main. The death of Mr. Rice shortly after this caused a change in the firm, to Edsall, McDougall & Co., and the store was removed to the corner room at Fourth and Main, at present occupied by Myers Bios. In 1860 Mr. Root went to Ft. Wayne, where Mr. McDougall was interested in a similar establishment. He came back here in a short time and purchased the interest of Mr. McDougall in the local establishment and from that time the name of Root has been strongly identified with the business world. The firm then became Edsall, Root & Co., and later this was changed to Hoberg, Root & Co., Mr. Root purchasing the Interests of Messrs. Warren and Oakey, and Max F. Hoberg, who had begun life In a business way as an errand boy for the firm, becoming resident manager and member of t-htf firm. This style of firm name continued, with changes of location, until last year when Mr. Hoberg retired and the firm name was changed to L. B. Root & Co. With that retirement Mr. Root at once entered into a contract with Mrs. Sophia Wheeler for the erection of the present modern store, making along term lease of the property at a handsome rental. Work was begun in May of last year, and was finished and the removal of stock completed In time for the formal opening of the place on the 12th of last November. Mr. Root was present himself at the time of the opening and for sometime later, and among those with whom he was familiar grew often reminiscent in comparing the present magnificent establishment, one of the most complete in the entire country, with the humble beginning he had made in the business world. While Mr. Hoberg was a member of the firm Mr. Root visited his old home seldom except at invoice time, but since the former retired he had spent quite a good deal of time here, getting the new store well under way. He acted as the

New York buyer for this store as well as th*»* in Fort Wayne, and maintained an office in the dry goods district In that city. He was noted as a close student of the market and its conditions and was discreet and timely in Ids purchases. He spent the greater portion of his time in New York and with his wife occupied apartments in the Fifth Avenue hotel. His wife waa formerly Miss Clara Switaer, a member of one of the leading families of Fort Wayne, who had many friends in Terre Haute.

The remains will be entered in Fort

TWENTY-EIGHTH TEAR

Wayne, to-morrow, and Mr. Mills, R. O. Miller, resident member of the firm, and Mr. Hergesheimer, will attend.

Just what disposition will be made of the business is not known at this time, but it is presumed that it will b« continued as at present. Mr. Miller has been connected with the firm for many years, is familiar with the details of the business, and had the confidence of Mr. Root. It is supposed that Mrs. Root will continue the business at least for the present without any changes.

STAR POINTER.

The Fastest Horse In the World to be the Feature of the First Day's Races of the Trotting .Association's Meeting.

The enterprise of the Trotting Association is well exemplified in the announcement that Star Pointer, the fastest horse in the world, with a record of 1:59M, is to be the attraction on Tuesday of the fall meeting of the association. Arrangements were completed yesterday for the appearance here on that day of this wonderful horse, which on Saturday last smashed all world's records in a race against time at Readville, Mass., over a track that heretofore has been unknown. It is almost certain that this wonderful horse still further reduce the mile record. The Trotting association has already made the contract for two hundred car loads of clay to be placed on the track at the fair grounds, and the clay will be from the same place from which the material was secured for bettering the track over which Robert J., made his wonderful record of a:0lK- The same man who selected the clay in the instance named will seleot it for this occasion, and Star Pointer will start against his own record over the -finest track that the foot of horse ever trod.

Negotiations are now on foot to secure Star Pointer's rival, the famous Joe Patchen, to go against time on the second day of the meeting. Such attractions as these are sure to make this meeting of the association more notable than, any of Itsprevious successful affairs.

POINTERS ON ALASKA.

Its coast line is 26,000 miles. Nowhere are mosquitos so numerous. Alaska runs 1,600 miles west of Hawaii. In summer all land not mountain Is swamp.

The Yukon river is larger than the Orinoco. Men born in southern latitudesjbjkve became insane in the long dark.

All distances'are gigantic. It Is 3,000 miles from Sitka to Klondike. In central and northern Alaska the ground is frozen to a depth of 200 feet.

In the dark season twilight last six hours and almost any kind of work can be done.

A man standing on a bank of the Yukon 150 miles from its mouth cannot see the other bank.

In low temperatures the inside of the throat sometimes freezes. This is locally

called "frost burning." It will pay to wait a year or two before going to Klondike. It costs $1,000 now and it will cost $200 then.

It is as large as all the states east of the Mississippi and north of the Ohio, Including Virginia and West Virginia.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY.

A man whom a dog will trust is never wholly bad. At 20 men love a woman at 80, woman at 40, women.

Woman has three weapons—flattery, food and flirtation. A woman who can keep her lover as a friend never believes In his love.

People who consider love a dream usually grow to think of marriage as the cold breakfast.

Anger is a better weapon than tears a burr commands more respect than a sensitive plant.

It Isn't what he doesn't know that troubles a man, but what he knows he doesn't know.

It's a foolish wife who fears her husband's old flames. Let her look out for the new ones. __

Rev. J. D. Stanley, who is now located in Cincinnati, visited L. B. Martin several days this week. A reception was given him at St. Stephen's church Thursday evening that waa largely attended.
