ON THE QUI VIVfiff

About the worst burning tt| that any* political scheme ever received, at least at the hands of a judge of the same political faith of the schemers, Judge Moffatt, of the Green-Sullivan circuit, gave I", the Harvey Curry county superintendent conspiracy in the Superior court this morning, when he sustained in every point

County Superintendent Chas. F. Grosjean's demurrer to the complaint of Mr. Curry. The Louse, outbuildings, fences and the crops in the field were consumed in the general conflagration, and nothing was left to contemplate but a pile of ashes. Mr, Curry brought suit against Mr. Grosjean to recover the office of county superintendent to which the latter was elected by the township trustees in June last. Mr. Grosjean filed a demurrer to the complaint, and every paragraph of the demurrer was sustained by the court. The court held that the law provided a way for every frustee to cast his vote, have it recorded, and said in plain words that if the Democratic trustees had kept cool, acted a* the law required, in fact demanded there was no way, either by anarchy or usurpation* by which they could (have been deprived of their rights. He said they had not done this, and therefore their contentions were not good. Mr. ^iBeasley, of Mr. Curry's counsel raised many points to dispute the decision of the court, but in every instance they were overruled. The counsel for Mr. Curry asked and were granted by the court the right to amend every paragraph of the complaint, and the matter will perhaps come up for future consideration.

Judge Moffatt said in his opinion that if the points made in his decision were observed in every county in the state, there would be no possibility for any confusion to arise, or any opportunity for anj^brusl/ tee to be deprived of the right given Mm by law to cast his vote as he might cHoose and have it so recorded. It is thought that this decision practically settles the Curry case, upholds the Republican trustees in their actions, and furnishes about the only instance on record, in this county, at least, where smooth work was required, that the Republicans were able to outwit their Democratic opponents. It is a great victory for Mr. Grosjean, and his attorneys,

Messrs. Stimson & Condit, Jas. L. Price, and John O. Piety. Terre Haute amateurs have long had the reputation of being able to give creditable performances, but they never did anything so clever as the female minstrel show last week. It was bright and originnl from start to finish, was well put on, and would have been creditable to the Hituii' number of professionals. The show attracted great attention away from home, and one of the young ladies who took part in the pei format)co, and whose portrait was printed in oue of the Chicago papers, received a letter this week from a gentleman in Des Moines, Iowa, who wanted to get some Information about the success of the performance. He excused his presumption in writing to her, in a very gentlemanly way, by saying that he understood that Terre Haute amateurs were noted for their ability, and ha wanted to get some direct information'about the show as the ladies of his city were discussing a similar performance,

Ttie Young Men's Thompson club is going to make an effort to remove the age limitations in its constitution and by-laws, which prevents anyone over thirty-one years of age from becoming an active member of the organisation, with a right to ^rote. It is thought that if this limitation ^jls removed there will be no trouble in securing a large number of new members, and with this Increase enlarged quarters can be secured without trouble. If this limitation is removed, there will then bo made an effort to change the name of the organisation. from Young Men's rlThompson club to the Thompson club. In honor of the grandest old mau of them all,

Col. R, W. Thompson. The question of 'changing the age limit wilt come up at the [regular meeting of the club, to be held on the first Thursday in December.

The world is full of human milestones, since it is more easy to point than to plod. In giving thanks for your blessings, don't forget the criticisms you have received.

There is a belief among romantic people that money can buy anything but love. This may be true, but it can buy a substitute article that is as good as love, and that wears better.

A real pleasant time at a party doesn't begin until someone breaks the ice by saying something unfavorable about one who is absent. The guests look for a moment at each other as if in doubt, then all plunge into the hole, and a good time follows.

THINGS THEATRICAL.

A WONDERFUL LIST OF ATTRACTIONS NEXT WEEK AT THE GRAND.

Twelve Temptations To-Nlglit—*My Friend From In»'*-ia," "Never Again," Nellie McHenry, "Nancy

Hanks" and Otis Skinner, in the Order Named. Manager Barbydt Ja certainly giving the amusement-goers a wonderful list of first-class attractions at the Grand. If theater-goers of Terre Haute do not see all the latest and best things in a theatrical way this season it certainly will not be his fault, for he is bringing them here in firstclass shape. For instance, next week we have five first-class shows, neither of which has ever been seen here. To-night Chas. H. Yale's "Twelve Temptations," revised and brought down to date will be on the boards. Hosts of pretty and fine-formed girls, funny comedians galore, costumes absolutely dazzling iu their elegant magnificence, and scenic revelation which will defy the descriptive power of the most fervid and fertile imagination, unite to render this gigantic and costly spectacle one of the grandest entertainments ever given in this country. The grand ballets, for instance, "The Four Seasons" "The National Trio Issues," "The Reigning Female Fads," and the Improved "Shaft of Light," etc, will introduce the famous premieres, Signoritas Ferrero and Bassegio w^ile Mr. Yale's descriptive songs, "Oi^ir the Bridge" (with realistic East River full stage setting): "All in a Row" (with popular airs, played on champagne bottles and glasses by some hilarious couples) "Battery Park," "The Coming Women and the Going Men" will set everybody in a roar which will be kept at full blast by the fuuny devices of the trick sets and that comical conceit. "The Midnight Lunch." The grandest transformation set, "Davy Jones' Locker," is a perfect revelation of the possibilities of the scenic art. '^2^

MY FRIEND FROM INDIA.

^'It is better to laugh than be crying," is an old, popular song. Then it naturally follows that it is better to go and see "My Friend From India," at the Graud Opera House Monday night, than to mope around home or walk the streets in aimless gloom. The author of this sparkling comedy, H. A. Du Souchet, evidently counted on this axiomatic suggestion, for he got any amount of fun and unrestrainable laughter crowded into this bright satire on theosophy and our social lion fad, as the latter is often seen in j^r Ybf^auS ^Mer big effcies." of an abstruse occult science such as theosophy into juxtaposition to a barber trying to get out of a scrape and the family of a retired pork-packer trying to get into New York society, and having that barber introduced to the world, on the strength of a yellow bed spread, as a member of the philosophic "Order of the Yellow Robe," of India, is in itself a highly humorous idea. "My Friend From India" has that in it which justifies the hit it is making on the road. In the interpretation of the exquisite humor of such a play the Smyth & Rice Comedy Company ii particularly well organized, and includes Arthur Larkins, who was especially brought from Europe to originate the part of "Charley's Aunt," William Mandeville, who was "starred" last year in Hoyt's "A Texas Steer," Ada Gilman, one of the brightest character artists in the profession, and others equally well known.

CLKMKNTINKDE VBRK CONCERT CO^fe The first entertainment in the Y. M. C. A. lecture course will take place next Tuesday evening at the Grand, the Clementine De Vere Concert Co. The sale of tickets for the course has been unprecedented and the directors decided to place one-half of the remaining reserved seats on sale. The sale began this morning at Buntin's and it is quite likely that there will be very few seats left* •.

NEVER AGAIN.'

The attraction for Wednesday night at the Grand Opera House is the famous comedy, "Never Again." This, the most brilliant exposition of the laughable side of life, was the one sensational comedy success of last season in New York, and after an absolute conquest of the Eastern public for two hundred and fifty performances, it duplicated its success in Chicago for three months. It will be presented here with a magnificent coterie of farceurs, and with the same handsome stage surroundings which distinguished the New York presentation. .*

A NIGHT IN HEW TOBK. $&&&

Reports from other cities seem to point that jolly Nellie McHenry is again this mason enjoying prosperity undisturbed by hard times, with a farce comedy, "A Night in New York." Jolly Nelly is a host in herself, but her mirth-making value is greatly enhanced by having as coadjutors such clever people as Richard Brown, William Hafford, Billy Barry, Joe Hays, Joe Kenny, Miss Mai Raymond, Miss Mildred Connors, Miss Viola Raynore, Miss Rosa Crouch and others. At the Grand next Thursday night.

nancy names.

One of the many attractive features of Frank Tannehill, Jr.'s comedy, "The Nancy Hanks," in which Marie Janaen and Frank Tannehill, Jr., will appear at the Grand, will be the music and songs, and what is stranger still, they assist

Ialmost

as much hi the development of the

story aa the plot itself. Isadore Witmark, of New York, the distinguished composer I and musician, has arranged all of the

orchestrations and has selected all of the music. Miss Jansen, whose voice has charmed many an 'audience, will sing a' bew descriptive song of a humorous nature, entitled, "Willie off the Yacht," together with another of the same character entittled, "Katy-Did." Miss Jessie Bradbury, of "Prince Pro Tem" fame, will render several ballads, and Harry Beresford, the comedian, will sing the popular "Nes Pas," which was such a hit in "The Girl from Paris," and "The Parrot Song" from "The Geisha." At the Grand next Friday night.

OTI8 SKINNER.

Otis Skinner will present his new play, "Prince Rudolph," at the Grand Opera Bouse next Saturday night, and the production promises to be an elaborate ©ne. The scenery is very pretty and the costumes,*^ which the ladies would call dreams of beauty, are most elaborate. "Prince Rudolph" will be presented in five acts, the locale of the first feeing the cottage of a farmer in Dessau the second an anteroom of the state ball-room in the palace of Lauterheim in Kronefeld the third the cotmcil chamber inJu*i palace, in which ftlso the fourth act/ place. The last act is divided.^ 'Wo scenes, the first bling a reception room in Drachenstein Castle, the fortress prison of the principality, and the second being the locale of the first act.

.notes.

,Signora Duse has informed a German journalist that she will shortly undertake the part of Hamlet in anew Italian version of the tragedy, The Berlin playgoers will h$ve -the first opportunity of witnessing thfe actress in the character of the Prince of Denmark. pharles Frohmam has engaged Lottie Collins of "Ta-ra boom-de-ny" fame. She w|ll appear in her speciality, introducing th^ee new songs, "The Girl on the Ran Dim Dan." "A Leader of Society" and "*|he Little Widow." Mr. Frohman has not yet decided upon the company with which he will present Miss Collins.

Miss Maude Hosford, one of the brighter and most successful actresses Terre Haute hps ever produced will appear here this season with Henry Miller in "Heartselse," in which she is" his leading support. Miss Hosford has made a decided impression on the dramatic critics wherever she has appeared and has received the most flattering press notices for the part she takes in the production.

Charles Frohman on Nov. 2 received a cable from London, saying "The First Boray his new Chinese play, received o£rnt praise as'an artistic production, but expected that the "public would understand it. On 3, he cabled to his London office the following: "Send entire company back to New York at once." In reply to this he received a cable saying that they had made arrangments to transfer the company from one theatre to another next week. He sent the following cable 5: "Send company next Wednesday, they open Garden Theatre, New York, Nov. 29 don't want to keep any performance in London that is not understood." Mr. Frohman's representatives cable that his quick move in this matter has caused a sensation in dramatic circles in Loudon.

^^COLLECTOR HENRY.

He Takes His Office, but Makes Few Changes in Official Positions. At 8:26 last Monday morning, the Hon. David W. Henry, with as cool and unconcerned an air as if he were signing a receipt for thirty-seven cents, signed for one million dollars' worth of his Uncle Sam's stuff, and from that moment became collector of internal revenue for the Seventh Indiana district, succeeding the Hon. Joshua Jump. There was very little ostentation about the change, and business has been going on as smoothly since the transfer as it was conducted before. Collector Henry made but few chanf beyond those already announced. Olivet tf. Tichenor, of Princeton, became deputy collector, succeeding Gus Lindemann, hile Harry G. Thompson, was appointed. clerk of tobacco stamps and brewers^ records, succeeding James' B. Meek, who was appointed travelling deputy for this portion of the district, succeeding James M. Hoskins, Jr., of Brazil. There were no other local changes &nd the force in the office and at the distillery were continued in their positions. How long these appointments will hold good no doubt depends on'the decision of the department as to the collector's power to make changes in these positions. If Judge Henry can make any changes, it is quite likely he will put Republicans in the places now held by Democrats, although he enounces very decidedly that if he is justified in making any changes he will do nothing to interfere with the efficiency of the force. Harry Thompson, who has been clerk under County Clerk Watson, is a son of Col. R. W. Thompson. He made a good record and lots of friends while in the clerk's office, and the latter unite in congratulating him on the promotion be has received. He wilt make an efficient deputy in the revenue office. His place in the clerk's office has been taken by Albeit Catlia, a brother of Attorney K- H. Catlin, who has been (studying law in this city.

John Sartain, the artist, who died a few days ago in Philadelphia, had many interesting experiences during his life of $9 years. He knew Charles Dickens as a boy pasting blacking labels in a London factoryThomas Hood's "The Song of the Shirt" and "The Bridge of Sighs" were first printed in a magazine published by Sartain in Philadelphia in the

ABOUT WOMEN.

In this city, where the recent military drill of twenty-four young ladies in the minstrels demonstrated the ability of girls to pick up military maneuvers in short order, the following facts concerning the only military company in the country composed entirely of young ladies will be read with interest: Atlanta, Ga., has the only military company in the country which is formed entirely of girls, and if necessity arose they would know how to use the weapons with which they have been.thoroughly drilled.

The organization of the company was to a certain extent an accident. Some of the ladies cf Atlanta wished to give a concert for the benefit of the Grady Hospital. A consultation was held as to ways and means, and it was suggested that it might be a good idea to have a military drill by girls. They thought the matter over and approved of this plan.

That was the first slif that led to the organization of what is now called Foster's Light Infantry. It was several weeks from the time the subject was broached to the date of the concert. The girls were gathered into a company as fast as could be done, and when the necessary number had been reached they started in to drill. For two weeks they hardly seemed to make any progress at all. Then the girls began to improve, and gained proficiency in the, manual of arms very rapidly.

These girls went through a regulation military drill without making a single error, at the concert, and they have done it since time and again. They seem to know by intuition almost just what they should do, and in their drill their movements are almost as if it were simply one person.

The equipment of the company is thorough and complete. There are two uniforms, one of white and one of blue. The skirts of the uniforms are about the length of the medium bicycle skirt. The blouse is made in soldier fashion and buttons close around the neck with a military collar. Th^i cap is like that worn by the soldiers of the regular army. Each member of the company when wearing full equipment- has about her waist the cartridge belt, and they all have knap sacks just as militia of the other sex poa sess. The arm used is the six-pound Springfield rifle. It can thus be seen that the girls are taught not how to play soldiers, but in just the fashion that the real simon pure article is drilled.

Application h^s been made to the state

room to check them." That is as polite a request as can be made and yet a great mauy ladies pay no attention to it. If they who do not would only follow the styles adopted by French women there would be no inconvenience attached to the wearing of their headgear. It has taken the French sister but a little time to solve the problem of theater hats, and so simple is the solution that we find ourselves saying, like children: "Why, yes, of course. Why did we not think of that before?"

Women can have their hair arranged, and as they depart for the performance give a satisfied nod at the glass, confident that the mirror will remain faithful, and upon the return will reflect the same serene smiling picture, instead of trying, as mirrors have had away of doing lately, to give back an imitation bf the lady and the cyclone.

So very, very simple! The hair must be dressed becomingly, and then, nestled close in to the waves and curls, will be caught a dainty wreath of flowers. "Why, of course," etc.

Still another matchless theater headgear is made of white tulle. It is really little more than a ruche, and to be charming must be immaculate. It is made on a tiny wire frame and is shirred closer than the petals of a double white garden rose. Heartless indeed, must be the man who

could resist this filmy bit of elegance. The

modiste calls it her "chef d'eeuvre." In these various head ornaments one precaution has invariably been taken. While they have been designed to enhance the beauty of the wearer, they have also t- 4-l«\«* nit tt nnant..

for a charter as asocial and military or^j-jarge and small, suffer the ignominy of beganization. They have at present forty

members, although the prospects are that they will eventually have sixty names on the muster roll. pj®

The wedding season is on in Terre Haute, and it is on strong. The month of June is supposed to be the bridal month, but this year it seems that November is the month chosen. Of course every one interested in weddings is also interested in the question of presents. In this connection the following, from the Philadelphia Times, regarding wedding presents, will be of assistance to a great many "It's wedding presents limited, nowadays," said a woman who has lately been through several dispensations of this sort. "By this I mean that the choice of such gifts is so curtailed to what it used to be. The range is less. Those days when pretty nearly all the world of plate and cutglassdom lay before us therefrom to choose, have departed. Custom and eti quette hive shut down on so many articles that were heretofore of use as well as ,of ornament to a young housekeeper What is more, they have substituted nothing in their stead, and while nothing is needed, so far as housekeeping goes, it's quite different where wedding present buying is concerned. Just think of all the implements and appointments that were once indispensable to the table—the soup tureens, the ladles, the fish cutlery the berry spoons and the carvers—and what an important part they used to play in every company of wedding gifts 1 And to get yet further back, the casters, the napkin rings, the pickle jars and all the rest! It is neither blessed to give nor to receive them nowadays, but they did make splendid wedding presents. Country cousins and others unacquainted with the fact that next to nothing is served upon the table nowadays, are the only persons from whom such contributions, may be expected. To what extremities, too, is bride often driven to dispose of such things. Either in the display of the gifts at the wedding or in after life, they must not be too prominent, or smart friends will judge you by them, while they must never be allowed to blush unseen, as those who sent them will be offended, and it is a kind of law that those who send such presents are those friends and relatival who have the most money and whom it is politic to placate. To me the queerest thing is that shops should have things of such acknowledged bad form in stock, but in stock in some shops they must be, or bow could the country cousin obtain them? There must he a good many country cousins in the world in order to warrant any sort of a supply to such a demand.

A PRACTICAL CELEBRATION.

Ii. B. Root Co. Observing the Annl- ,• versary of their Opening To-T)ay in a Commendable Way.

One year ago to-day the magnificent new,, dry goods store of L. B. Root & Co. was [, thrown open to the public. The proudest^ person present on that eventful day was. L. B. Root, who could well feel gratified at the splendid showing made as the result, of his planning. To-day he is gone, as is

t.^

his wife, who was also present on that occasion. Under the circumstances the man-. agement of the store did not feel like in- -y/i dulging in a customary anniversary celebration, and so decided to give- instead, ten per cent, of the sales of to-day to the non-sectarian charities of this city. An ordinary day's sale in the store is large,y and Saturday, of course, brings larger sales. The pianagement does not attempt® to dictate as to the charities that may be selected as the beneficiaries of this splendid offer, but have selected M. S. Durham, B. V. Marshall and H. J. Baker, to decide upon the manner of its disposal.

Death of Mrs. C. II. Tylor.' Mrs. Julia H. Tyler, wife of Charles H. Tyler, the well-known contractor, who has been suffering for several weeks with the. typhoid fever, died at the family residence on south Third street, on Wednesday morning Some time ago it was thought* that she was at point of death, and her children living away from here were called to her bedside. She improved, however, and they returned home. They had! scarcely arrived thereuntil they received^: another message announcing her death, Mrs. Tyler was born in Auresvllle, N. Y., and was married to Mr. Tyler at New London, Conn., in 1852. They came west,! lived at Cincinnati for nine years, and infc 1864 came to this city, which they had since made their home. For eighteen years they lived at 306 south Third street, and from there removed to 1009 south Third, where they had since lived. Mrs, Tyler was a woman of great force of character, and had a- large circle of close friends, to whom her death will be a severe shock. To the family especially will the death be a terrible blow. Her husband survives her, together with four children, Will, of Green Bay, Wis., where he holds an important railroad position, Clifford, wta is engaged in business at Toledo,^ I \tbe well-known letter carrier of this ca Helen, who is the well-Known principal in the city schools. Both sons living out of the city were here to attend the funeral, which took place on Thursday afternoon, and was attended by a large concourse of sympathizing friends.

That New Yoflt burglar who entered a New York houfcs disguised as a plumber showed a nice sense of the fitness of things.
