ON THE QUI VIVE.
President Harrison, of the street rail way company, is going to teach the peoplea lesson because of the council's talk about requiring him to run his street cars slower than he has been doing. He is out in a card of some length in which he announces that for a limited time, a week probably, he will show the people of Terre Haute how a street car system should not be run. Beginning to-morrow morning he announces the following rules will be in force: a.) The speed of all cars will be greatly reduced. (2.) All the cars will slow down, without regard to passengers or vehicles, before reaching the first crossing of each and every intersecting street crossing. (8.) All cars will stop on the near crossing. and no passengers vfrill be taken on from the far crossing. (4.) The North and South Thirteenth street cars will be operated only to Wabash avenue. All persons will be trans fered from this point to the main line for points east and west. (5.) Seventh street line will transfer at Seventh and Wabash to the main line, and North Sixth and Union Depot lines for other parts of the city. a*.) The North Thirteenth street line during nights of entertainments at the park will be operated to and from Third street and Wabash avenue after 7 o'clock.
President Ijatns, of the Trotting Association. has requested Mr. Harrison to postpone his test until after race week, and the latter lyis consented, provided the council will consent to postpone action at its next meeting, October 5th. There is a strong suspicion that there is something of a grand stand play about this move of President Harrison. He knows that the council will not pass the proposed ordinance if he doesn't want it passed, although it has adopted an order to have the city attorney prepare it. But present ing an ordinance limiting speed, and pass ing it, when the street railway company objects to its passage, are two different things. So the people of Torre Haute will be put to a great deal of inconvenience while President Harrison "plajs horse" with them—for that is all it Is, to be plain —with a chance to lay it all on poor, old Doctor Young—who certainly has enough on his hands in looking after his pet crematory, his "very beautiful" garbage wngons, and his boom for mayor.
Every newspaper in Terre Haute, every business man, and every citizen ought toi entourage the Red Men in the laudable enterprise they have already sat on foot, that of having a big Fourth of July celebration in this city next year. They will have, according to the programme thus far mapped out, a big barbecue, a wild west show and sham battle, and otherwise fittingly celebrate the country's natal day. The time was when the Fourth of July never passed lu Terre Haute without a big celebration of some kind, but in recent years, the towns surrounding us have celebrated, our people have lost Interest in it seemingly, and now the only way such a celebration can be had successfully is by some organization like the Ked Men taking hold of the affair. With the proper efforts, well directed, the Red Men can bring thousands of visitors to the city next year, furnish them an entertainment that will send them home well satisfied with Terre Haute, and besides the lodges can turn an honest penny for their display of enterprise. By all means let everybody give the movement a boom. It may serve to awaken us from the deep slec^p we have been lu for some time past.
In the circuit court one day this week two young men were on trial for despoil ing a school house in Honey Creek township. They tore seats from the floor, ruined the plastering, broke the window lights, etc., after which they piled the debris in the middle of the floor and set it on fire. For this they were indicted by the grand jury for arson aud trespass. It was discovered after the trial had proceeded some time that in the indictment the school house was described as belonging to "Honey Creek township," when as a matter of fact it belongs to "Honey Creek school township." On this technicality the jury was instructed to return a verdict of not guilty, which was done. The boys were immediately rearrested on the second count of the indictment against them, and will be given a trial later. It is to be presumed that., if the indictment charges them with having set fire to a red school house, and It develops that it was really a shade of brown, they would again be found not guilty. This verdict of not guilty, of course, was In strict accordance with the law. but it seems strange that our laws throw such safeguards around men charged with crime, without any consideration for the community that suffers from the depredations. Still, we wonder at crime, and mobs and lynch law.
A city that doesn't have a killing every few days, as is the case in Parke county, is looked upon by the residents of that progressive oounty, as a dead town, which doubtless leads the Parke Couuty Journal to remark, about the *x?nrsion from Kockville to Terre Haute, last Sunday, that "only eighteen tickets were told from RoekvHto, nod about 9EX) along the line.

master of Clinton. He practically had the appointment in his pocket, Congressman Faris having announced his intention of staying with the editor of the Clinton Republican, but one day this week the old enemy of Casey got the best of him, and he went on a spree. He had abstained from the use of intoxicating liquofs for several years, and although a strong fight had been made against him, the congressman announced his intention of recommending Casey for the appointment. When he went wrong, however, there was little to be done but seek another postmaster. Casey deserved great credit for his fight against the drink habit, and there are those who believe that some of his enemies must have conspired to lead him off from the right track, with the idea of accomplishing the end of securing another recommendation for the Clinton postoffice appointment. With all that has been said and done Congressman Faris could not do anything else but make another recommendation, and it is said that his choice will be "Billy" Bonner, who is prominent in Clinton's business circles, and has always been an aggressive Republican in the politics of Vermillion county. He has a great many friends in Terre Haute who will be glad to know of his success, while regretting the circumstances that led to the withdrawal cf Casey's name.

She may have an ax to grind.

When the charmer whispers to yon Words that set your brain awhlrl— Tells you that you look as youthful
And as rosy as a girl. Do not listen-do not suffer Htm to captivate your mind. For the chances v.m. good woman.
That there Is an ax to grind! To the Youth, When a world-worn woman tells yon
That yoo area "heartless man'" That she wishes to forjtet yon. But. "ah. that she nerer can." Then, dear hoy, get up and scamper-
Pray for wings to clou re the wind. For "Us certain Lbat Uxsre's some one With a gleaming ax to grind. —Cleveland Leader.
ABOUT WOMEN.
^Ouida, in the course of an artcie in the Cosmopolitan, makes some interesting suggestions on dress, and most of them will interest womankind, while one. at least, will have a certain interest for men In the first place, she is firmly and implacably opposed to the decollette evening gown, which she regards as both ngly and immodest. She also displays good sense in denouncing that style of lacing which has resulted in the "hour-glass waist." But when she goes on to take np the question of male attire it is time for the other sex to prick up its ears.
Listen, O ye men! She believes that, instead of going into society, women would be better employed in applying their minds to "dressing themselves, their children and their men." She adds: "I do not think men would long resist feminine effort on the part of women to introduce some better male costume than that which at present makes the streets and the drawing rooms alike hideous that is, if the effort were general, sustained and persuasive. The trouser is the cul mihatiug point in modern male attire of ugliness, indecency, unsuitabilky and anti-hygienic stupidity. The chimney-pot is the more ludicrous, but I think the trouser is the more odious portion of masculine clothing. It would make a guy of Apollo's self."
It would be interesting to know what most men would say to the proposition that their wives design the clothes they should wear. Imagine the predicament of an aesthetic wife with a taste for mauve Bpike tails and a refractory husband with a horror of attracting notice. The number of complications is too horrifying to con template. "Ouida" is quite right about the trouser, but a mind built to dwell upon flounces and toques—would it be entirely safe to trust such a mind with the grim problem of the trouser, the baggy vest, the stern silk hat?
It is doubtful. Best leave man's garments to the tailors—aud to the bicycle, which is already doing a great work in exterminating the hated trouser. "No woman can be accounted poor who hag a keen appreciation of trifles." The writer was just dozing off in her chjiir when these words roused her to a state of wakefulness. Then she—listened: listened hard aud well, and what she heard fully repaid her for the loss of the nap she was contemplating. "I often look at her in wonder," said the voice that had aroused us. "She is the happiest creature I khow and yet a#^I judger-her and see What very trivial things contribute to her pleasure, I envy a nature that is thus easily satisfied." We kept our eyes closed, but we were not asleep by any means. What a disposition to be envied, we thought, aud then we looked into our own life and the lives of those with whom we come in daily contact and it seemed as though we were grasping for so much, always desiring something specially momeutous to rouse us to enthusiasm, while all the time there are such opportunities for happiness right within our grasp if we will but take note of them Life is as we make it. We have the power within ourselves to achieve happiness or espouse misery.,
If this statement seems too sweeping, look carefully into your own existence, sift out how much you have to be thank ful for and revel in that instead of picking out one burden and magnifying it until it seems too heavy for you to bear. Contentment is a blessing and with it and an innocent enjoyment of all pleasures life becomes a well-spring of continual joy. Riches won't bring it, a round of superficial excitement is not conducive to it, but a willingness to accept what is with a good grace and a natnre attuned to melody rather than to mournful numbers will keep the heart young and the eye bright while others are growing old fretting over what they cannot possess instead of making the most of what is placed ready to their hand.
A brusqne man of business, in whose conversation there were no •'frills," was asked why he had discharged a certain young woman from his employ, says a writer in Harper's Bazar. "She was too free with her tongue," he said, bluntly. "She talked too mnch to suit me, or any other man who pays people for their time and who expects them to make proper use of it."
This was not the first young woman who had lost a good position because of her failure to appreciate the fact that the habit of idle talk is one that few business men will tolerate.
The young woman who enters the business world for the purpose of supporting herself should profit by the lesson contained in tht se words of Fuller's: "Learn to hold thy tongue, Five words cost Zacharias forty weeks' silence."

The woman whose services are most valued in a business house or private office Is the woman who is never intrusive In word or manner, bat who goes quietly and faithfully about her work, keeping her opinions to herself, and leaving idle chatter to the unbalanced and the unwise.
always dislike to have
their affairs talked about to others by those in their employ, and those who have a proper conception of the true relations existing between the business man and his employees will regard those relations as confidential, and will not lend tbernaelve* to Idle talk about the affairs of their employe. Of course this applies quite as mnch to men as to women, but those who are in a position to know maintain that women are more given to offend
ing in this respect than men, and that women are more given to idle chatter during business hours
Be this as it may. the women who
fill
the bibst and most desirable positions in the business world are the women who have, been clear-sighted enough to comprehend the full meaning of the words "busirress is business," and who have given their time and their thought to business: and to nothing else during the time belonging to their employers.
The7'born flirt is not dangerous. She may appear so, but in reality her little coquettish, fascinating ways are not the cultivated wiles of a siren, but are as natural to her as is breathing. In all probality when her eyes first opened upon this world she smiled at the doctor, and through her babyhood and childhood up to the times she was considered a woman the juilelesi smile wrought havoc with every wit every man who came within the circle of its sunny influence.
She doesn't think she is flirting. She is merely enjoying herself. Men have always paid her a certain amount of homage, and that she intends to have it up to the day of her death. The born flirt need not be beautiful, she need not be even pretty but if she only has that personal magnetism that counts for more than symmetry of contour, men will adore and she will let them to the end of time.
Ail woman dubbed flirts are certain to come iu for a considerable amount of unkind criticism from those who do not understand them. The unconscious flirt will, however, after awhile disarm her worst enemy, for if time is taken to study the little lady the strange phenomenon will be discovered that she flirts just as much with women as with members of the opposite sex. Her pretty ways are irresis tible to men and women alike and so she goes on smiling and magnetizing all who come within her power, and those who came to censure remain to praise.
But oh! what a different character is the deliberate flirt, the woman who coquets with intent to kill, who lets flirtatiou run into romance, and then with one strong blow destroys a man's,hopes just for the sake of seeing the card house she has buit up scatter into its component parts before her very eyes. She is the type of woman who seperates husbands and wives, who sows discord iu hither to happy families, who enjoys making sweet-hearts unhappy and younger women envious. She is a schemer who plans her campaign deliberately, not a -little skirmisher who uses her weapons on all alike. jS&p-flirt by design is a dangerous person. £jhflroves to wftilnd. She delights in the cries of those who have been pierced by the darts from her havoc-dealing eyes. Her victims are fewer than those that come to the net of the bean flirt, but their suffering is real, their pain bitter. The natural flirt will go on flirting with her own husband after they have been married twenty years, but the cither one, if chance or design brings her a man whose name she is asked to bear, no longer wastes her time on him, but looks around for some one else's husband to practice her wiles upon.
School Questions In Kansas.
A Kansas school superintendent named Stryker, in order to "grade up" the teachers, has prepared an entirely new set of questions for the next examination. Among them are these "You can frequently uee a white horse, why do you never see a white colt "Why does a hop vine wind one way and a bean vine another? Explain fully." "Why does a horsf eat grass backward and a cow forward
Why does a horse tethered with a rope always unravel it, while a cow twists it into knots
What is the length of a flour barrel What animals have no upper teeth and why?"
Why did Abdul Hamid delay acceptance of the proffered mediation of the powers!"
After the Omaha platform, what is the greatest American document written ljince the Declaration of Independence
Give a historical fact of the following great men: William Stryker, G. Washington, William Shakespeare, Jerry Simpson, Napoleon."
Women are Not Taken Seriously.
"They won't take ns seriously," she said with a sigh, "they" referring, of coarse, to men. "No matter how seriously we take ourselves, nor how we endeavor to impress them with our seriousness, it is of no use. Only the other evening I was arguing with a man about anmething or other, just what I don't remember now, but I know it was a subject that I knew far more about than he did and that I had mnch the best of the argument. At first he deigned to answer me with some sort of respect, not at all as though I was his equal, of course, but still with a certain amount of consideration. But as the conversation progressed, and he began to see that I was getting the better of him, he ju«t laughed and pooh-pooh jd and pretended to be amused. I could have borne even this, though, but just as I was putting the very tassel to the cap of the argumentative climax he leaned forward and said: 'Don't packer your fonhead like tlutt: it isn't becoming.'

THE BIC RACE MEETING.
The Greatest Race Programme Ever Offered—Deserving of the Patronage of Terre Haute People.
At an expense of over $8,000 the track of the Terre Haute Trotting Association has been re-clayed, and is now being pnt in fine condition for the races next week, opening on Tuesday. It is to be hoped that the unusual programme of attracfc'ous will drawthe patronage of our own people, something the race meetings have never done before, be it iiid to the discredit of Terre Haute, which ordinarily appreciates enterprise*4 and as a rule patronizes it liberally. There isn't another city in the country of anything like the size of Terre Haute that offers such programmes and purses for a race meeting as does the Terre Haute Trotting Association, and people come from all parts of the country to attend our races. The country over Terre Haute is famous for its wonderful race met tings*. And yet, with all this, the people of Terre Haute have never, as a rule, turned out in the proper manner for these races. It is mf» to say, that with all the' great attractions that have been offered over the Terre Hante track, there never was a day on which the paid attendance from Terre Hante would pay one of the many parses offered. President Ijams, Secretary Watton, and the directors of the association have labored unceasingly in the interest of these races, and then ia nothing in It for
Mil
them but glory, and were it not for the fact that outsiders appreciate the merits of the many attractions offered here, the association would have gone by the board long ago. This year, with the unusual attractions offered, it is to be hoped that the people here will turn out and patronize the races.
In addition to the special attraction of Star Pointer on the opening day, the wonderful pacer, Joe Patchen, will go to beat the record now held by Star Pointer, 1:59#. There will be no hippodrome race between these horses, but each will go his best in the endeavor to beat old Father Time. The track is in fine shape, the weather promises are favorable, and with cheap excursions from all the surrounding country, it is likely that there will be more visitors in the city than have ever been attracted here on a similar occasion.
The following is the complete programme for the week: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28. 2:17 trot, purse $1,500—20 entries. 2:18 pace, purse $5,000—14 entries.

HARRISON PARK CASINO.
MAGNIFICENT "8UPKR1JA."
is hard to do justice to such an excellent entertainment as Hanlon's "Superba," but the patronage endorses all the good things that could be said about it. It is full of novelty and fresh invention this season, and its many scenes and acts disclose a world of novelty to its admirers. The barnyard scene, wherein fowls of prodigious size and very natural appearance come out and strut about the pr?mises, ia full of merriment for the spectators. It tickles the young folks immensely in particular. The myths, the ghosts, and the giants are all depicted faithfully, and it is hard to discover how so many abnormal portrayals can be produced without a single slip or blunder, and yet not the suggestion of a hitch occurs to detract from the easy movement of the attraction. Few.. people who witness such a production as "Superba" is have much of an idea of the work involved in staging such a piece, and when it is stated that between 60,000 and 70 000 square feet of scenery and over four miles of rope are used, one can form some slight idea of the work that is done by these talented inventors of pantomime. This gorgeous spectacle will be seen here two nights only, Tuesday and Wednesday, next week. Seats are now on sale at Buntin's. Prices 15c, 25c, 50c, 75c, and $l.(n. while the prices elsewhere range from 25c to $1.50.
Buffalo Bill's Wild West.
Buffalo Bill's wonderful Wild West show is in the city, aud is giving a performance this afternoon at the old show grounds on east Main street. The performance will be repeated this evening. The show has attracted thousands of visitors to the city, and the streets were lined this morning, when the parade took place. This parade is a show in itself, the military representatives of the different nations, in their varied uniforms presenting a spectacle that Is well worth going a great distance to witness. This is but a small portion of the great show itself, and the great success that has marked the history of the Wild West, not only In this country, but in Europe as well, is evidence that it meets a popular demand. Buffalo Bill is one of the most unique characters in latter day history, and the magic of his name is enough to attract thousands of spectators to his show.
Laugh.
Learn to laugh. A good laugh is better than medicine. Learn bow to tell a story. A well-told story is as welcome as a sunbeam in a sick room. Learn to keep your own troubles to yourself. The world is too busy to care for your ills and sorrows. Learn to stop croaking. If you cannot see any good in the world keep the bad to yourself. Learn to hide your pains and aches under a pleasant smile. No one cares to hear whether you have the earache, headache or rheumatism. Don't cry. Team do well enough in novels, but they are out of place in real life. The good-humored man or woman Is always welcome, but the dyspeptic or hypochondriac is not wanted anywhere, and Is a nuisance as well.
Pixley's New Store.
Manager Sam Budd, of Pixley & Co.'», has been working night and day with a large force of men, preparing for the opening of their new store, in the room recently vacated by Hera, and the doors will be thrown open to the public on Star Pointer Day, next Tuesday. It will be one of the largest, best lighted and most commodious clothing stores In the entire state, and this added to the reputation of the Arm for handling nothing but the very best goods in every line, guarantees an increase of the immense business that haa. always been done by the house.
