ON THE QUI

The announcment last week of the possibility of milking H. H. Boudinot the Republican candidate for mayor, has created no end of favorable comment, and unless that gentleman refuses pointblank to accept the nomination if it should be given him, he Is likely to have forced on him an honor that he is not anxious to have. It is said too, that another Seventh ward man would accept the nomination if it were given him withont being compelled to go out and make a fight for it. That is W. P. Ijams, president of the American Trotting Association, president of the Terre Haute Trotting Association, president of the Terre Haute House company, and one of the three 'men whose personal efforts led to the erection of the new opera house, which is generally conceded to be one of the finest in the entire west. While always a zealous and ardent Republican, Mr. Ijams has never made himself conspicuous in politics, but if he should be nominated for mayor he would make a campaign so warm that it would burn up the "edges around the opposition. With Mayor Ross as a possible candidate for renomination, and with Messrs. Boudinot and Ijams talked about in the same connection, it would seem that the Republicans art} to have a whole lot of good material for the bead of the ticket next year. The Democrats are equally well fixed, let it be said. With Nick Stein, John F. Briukinan, and Henry Urban talked of as candidates on that ticket, and with Frank Wey as a possible dark horse, there is no dearth of good material on that side of the political house. Martin Hollinger disclaims the soft impeachment of being the Populist candidate for mayor, and says he has never thought seriously of such a thing. It has not been decided whether or not the Populists will have a ticket in the field next year, but it is quite likely that they will have.

It is reported that some of President llussell B. Harrison's friends are figuring on a plan to make him a candidate for the Republican nomination for mayor next spring, believing that his nomination and election to that office would be a vindication of his career here. It is not known how extensively the plan has been proposed, or whether it has the approval of Mr. Harrison himself.

Charley Wheeler, the genial travelling passenger agent of the Vandalia, is doing without hose tiiese cool November days. Mention is made of it only to correct the wrong impression that is being probably. started by Colonel South, of the rival "BigFour." that Mr. Wheeler doesn't wear "socks." He does, and the hose that he is doing without is his garden hose, that some miscreant stole from in front of his house on south Seventh street one night last week. He doesn't mind the loss of the hose so much as he does the "guying" that his neighbors have been giving him since the hose was missing. Any person who will bring him twenty-live feet of garden hose and guarantee—whether or not it is true—that it is his long-lost hose, will no doubt be strongly recommended to the passenger department of the Vandalia for a lifetime annual pass over the lines of that company. ______

Robert M. Rogers, who had a prominent part iu "Never Again," Wednesday night, was formerly a member of the police force in this city, was a telegraph operator here, a polo player, and a general all around good fellow. Last year he was stage manager for Frohman's "A Prisoner of Zenda" Company. While here Wednesday his old comrades on the police force tried to show him a good time. The called out. the patrol wagon, took him down to jail and showed him a girl who had been so badly burned that her flesh was falling off. He enjoyed the attentions showed him, but said that was a policeman's idea of a good time, showing a man a fellow who had been tea ten to death, run over by trolley car, or had something else dismal happen to them. Rogers was formerly a resident of Clinton, where he has a great matuv friends, who think that since the death of Booth and Barret nothing so warm ever happened in the theatrical line as Robert M. Rogers. He had figured on running an excursion down from Clinton to see the play, with the Idea of buying the house, and giving a benefit for himself, but the New York syndicate running the show wanted too much for Its share of the performance to justify any such step, and so he gave it up and came into town without an advance notice. If a copy of this issue of The Mail should fall Into Mr. Rogers* hands, and he should discover his name printed as Robert M. Rogers in full, he would probably have a cat-fit, and might probably sue the paper for damages. All for the reason that he has discarded the M. in his name, because It contains, printed in full, thirteen letter, and to members of the theatrical profession, thirteen is full of danger. For that reason he now prints is name, Robert Rogers. Mr. Rogers will be married after the close of the present dramatic season to Miss Lonine Mcintosh, a member of the stock company of Denver, a lady who has made a most decided hit! during the present season, as a character actress of great force.

Ex-Mayor B. F.

The Masonic Temple scheme, by which it was proposed to erect a fine office and lodge room building on the property of the Masons at Eighth and Main streets, is destined to be up again in the near future. According to the plan at present contemplated by Several members of the joint committee representing the several Masonic bodies in this city it is proposed to dispose of the Eighth and Main property and erect a building on some property that is not so valuable, and will be further away from the noise of the street cars. A meeting of the general committee is likely to be called in the near future to discuss the new plans.

Modesty is sometimes a costly luxury, A woman at Sandusky, O., whose leg had been injured on a defective sidewalk, refused to show it to the jury to enable them to judge how serious the accident was, and so lost the $5,000 for which she had sued the city.

The official report of the Greek minister of war shows that but 5)08 Greeks were killed and 1,084 wouuded in what is called the recent war with Turkey. This would indicate that modern weapons, in the hands of Turks, at least, are not nearly so destructive as has been believed.

Neale and Johnson, English explorers in Rhodesia, are convinced of the truth of native stories that somewhere in the African wilds stands a great building with massive stone doors, which have not been opened iu recent centuries.

There are 60 modern steamships fit for cruising now available by the United States navy in case of war, exclusive of regular war vessels building or in commission, and there are rapid flre guns enough to equip 15 of them within a week. These ships are the ocean liners and coast steamships carrying the American flag, and in a naval war they would be found decidedly useful.

If anyone were to undertake to walk, one way only, through all the streets of London he would be obliged to go a distance of 2,000 miles, or as far as it is across the American continent from New York to San Francisco. This will give an idea of the distance one will have to go to see thoroughly even the greater part of the city of London—the largest city In the world.

An enthusiastic church»member of Philadelphia has just contributed#! to the church on its birthday, pledging himself to double the amount on each anniversary of his birth for the rest of his life. If he keeps his pledge and lives long enough the church will have plenty of money, for the amount of his offering on his birthday 25 years hence will be something over $16,000,000.

In Constantinople daily and weekly papers are published in a dozen different languages, but they must submit all advance proofs to a government censor, who permits nothing to be printed withont his mark of "harmless," One of the censor's rules is to cut out all news of assaults on crowned heads. The death of President Carnot was given to the Turkish public as caused by an illness lasting several day*.

There is no doubt that college girls have their share of fun. Twenty red-hatred undergraduates of an «aste^$ college recently gave a "Red-headed Dinner."

Clay Clement, who appears Here next Saturday night, with an unusually strong company in his own play, "A Southern Gentleman," has made a great hit in Indianapolis this week, the critics being united in speaking in the highest terms of his play and acting. The first act is in Louisiana, while grim-visaged war hangs like a pall over the state in 1803. This act furnishes the motive for a romantic love story which is told twenty-two years later amid scenes of peace, in South Carolina. Mr. Clement plays a chivalrous, courtly, old gentleman throughout these scenes after having been seen as a young confederate officer in the first act.

He gave it at Sullivan on the 9th Inst., and at Rockville last Tuesday night, and at both places it was well received.

Mrs. Minnie Maddern Fiske from all accounts has in "Tessof the D'Urbervilles" the strongest part in which she has been seen.

PACTS FEMININE.

There are, only two countries in the world where love plays a more important part in marriage than either money or position. Needless to say, they are England and the United States. In America, as is well known, it is not considered necessary for girls, when they go to parties, picnics or dances, to be accompanied by their mothers or some married friend or relation, and it is an undoubted fact •that the system works excellently. Now, in England, though they have no doubt come on enormously in the last twenty years cr so, they are moving much too slowly. An English girl said to me: "You know we are in the queerest sort of transition stage just at present. Nominally we are supposed to be free, and able, for instance, to go for a walk with a man friend without being supposed to be engaged to him but, all the same, one hardly dares to do so for fear of people talking." Were you to insinuate to a young American that a lady whom he was about to take to a dance should have a chaperon he would inform you pretty pointedly that she needed no protection, inasmuch as he was a gentleman, and not a tramp. What a pity it is the same happy state of affai^ does ,jaot already prevail in England

American girls are fortunate in possessing two sides to their nature. They are not only endowed with taste, grace, kindliness, the art of putting people at-their ease, the ready jest, the quick repartee, but, if the need comes, they can go out into the world as their brothers have done, enter into business and make & fortune, or, at least, hold their own among the fortune makers. The American girl is popular wherever she goes. A certain dainty finish distinguishes her at all times and under all conditions. She has savoir faire. She is not readily thrown from her poise, her background is secure, and she has the immense advantage of knowing that the world is at her feet. Her mother, always at her side, judicious, considerate, affectionate, probably contentedly allows herself to be thrown into the shade by this second self, who seems to her the very crown and flower of her life. The father, the brothel's, the cousins of the slender, sweet maiden, are all intensely proud of her, and the first simply lives to serve her, to gratify her caprices, to furnish her with money, to wear her on his heart as one wears a white rosebud in his buttonhole. But, being an American father, he would resent with scorn- the allegatkm that his fair daughter is merely an ornament. .He knows her underlying strength, her reserve of force, her possibilities.

The new woman has been charged with many things, but apparently no one has thought it worth while to make her responsible for the novelty in wedding rings. The goldsmith will show them to his customers, and the winter bride will unglove her left hand to display one of these substitutes for the plain gold band which has served the last two generations of men and women. The new-fangled ring is engraved with ornamental chasing, and is enriched with precious stones. Fanciful ideas are allowed full play in the choice of emblematic stones. They are made to spell "Amor" by means of amethyst, moonstone, opal and ruby, or set in some other chosen device.

Sometimes a date or name is introduced among the stones. All the fads which are permissible on an engagement ring are re produced for the wedding ring.

The new fashion has only novelty to commend it, and a better tyiste prefers the plain broad gold circle, with an inscription of names and date cut on the inside.

The plain gold ring is a time-honored and respected symbol of marriage. The new wedding ring is no improvement upon the good old one. The bride of any sentiment will prefer to adhere to the ring which bound together the lives of her father and mother.

A learned German, who ha^1 devoted himself to the study of physiology, anthropology and allied sciences, makes the rather startling assertion that mustaches are becoming commoner among women in the present day than in the past. He says that in Constantinople, among the unveiled women that are to be met with one ont of ten possesses an unmistakable covering of down on the upper l!p. In the capital of Spain, again, the proportion of ladies with the masculine characteristic is said to be quite equal to that observable in the Golden Horn. An American medical man states that in Philadelphia fully 3 per cent, of the adult fair sex are similarly adorned, and probably the proportion would be still larger bnt that many women take trouble to eradicate the unwelcome growth by the application of depilatory preparations.

There is a wide-awake young woman In Chicago who is supporting herself quite comfortably by taking care of other people's birds and flo wers. She calls herself a "bird and flower attendant," and goes daily from house to house of her patrons, feeding and watering pet birds and cleaning their cages, watering and trimming drawing room plants and window boxes, cleansing their leaves, giVing them a dose of fertilizer when they need it, and In other ways keeping her feathered and vegetable patients in good condition. She flatters herself thai she Is the only woman In the country following such a vocation.

Behind the trenches of conventionality we can protect ourselves from many an unpleasant encounter. Conventional barriers act as so many protectors to selfin-

fliction. We need not put up with social bores, we may escape being martyrs to selfish acquaintances, we can hedge ourselves about so that the bores of earth will not annoy us. There are any number of well-meaning people who do not hesitate to show unbridled contempt for conventionality's demands. They are not pleasant people to know the long run. For a while they may not offend our notions of good form. We may, indeed, find them amusing—social relaxations, as it were— but a time is sure to arrive when their indifference tempts them into vulgarisms that cause us deepest chagrin.

It is the conventional young man who puts a woman at ease. In one way he may be a trifle annoying. He expects, of course, that his ideas of extreme etiquette will be considered. With tact enough to do this there is no reason to deplore his acquaintance. The man who is conventional never commits unpardonable solecisms. He is right, up to date in all he does. One's, soul is not racked with doubt or flooded with pity because of his bluuders Nothing to a sensitive-minded woman is so distressing as the feeling of uncertainty regarding a man's ideas of the correct way of doing the correct thing.

It is never pleasant to feel that wo must bring Christian forbearance to bear upon breaches of etiquette. Rather would wo be spared all jars to our conventional feeliugs. It is our conventionally inclined acquaintance? who keep a tight rein on our inclinations. We would soon grow polite slovens if it were not for the conventional people with whom we are brought in contact,

A hostess known to be conventional always claim the greatest possible regard from her immediate circle. She it is who never has any cause to complain of social neglect. Her proffered hospitalities are treated with the greatest amount of deference. She cannot send out an invitation that it does not receive immediately the attention that conventionality demands. In so many ways is she shielded from the friction that is endured by her less conventional sisters. Sha takes a very high seat in society's arena, and from her vantage point smilingly looks down on the confusion in the midst of those of her sex who have no use and only abuse for conventional creeds. ,,

AVoman's Love.

In speaking of woman's love Robert G. Ingersoll says: "The one thing in this* world that is constant, the one peak that rises above all clouds, the one window in which light forever burns, the one star which darkness can not quench, is woman's love. It rises to the greatest heights, it sinks to the lowest -depths, it forgives the most cruel injuries. It Is perennial of life and grows in any climate neither coldness nor neglect, harshness nor cruelty can extinguish it. A woman's love is the perfume of the heart. This is the real love that subdues the earth the love that has wrought miracles in art, that gives music all the way from the cradle song to grand symphony, that bears the soul away on wings of fire above that Is greater than power, sweeter than life, and stronger than death."

Union Thanksgiving .Services, The ministers of the Protestant churches of the city have decided to hold nnion thanksgiving services this year, as was formerly the custom here. The meeting will be held at the First M. E. church, and Rev. W. W, Witmer, of the Central Christian church, trill deliver the sermon. An elaborate musical programme will be rendered, this feature being in the hands of the First M. E. choir and orchestra. The collection, which will be taken up,. will be equally divided among the Ladies' Aid society and the organized charities of the city.
