OF LOCAL INTEREST.

The Tribune prints the following story, which, if true, in a warning to the young women of this city, as to the temptations that are before them, and especially to the mothers who permit their daughters to "gad" about the streets at

times of the

day and night, and especially allow them to go bicycle riding with any "Tom, Dick or Harry" that may come along with a wheel, good clothes and a pleasant way •about him. Many a life of shame has been started in this way, and the Chicago woman knew the best way of obtaining recruits. Here ib the Tribune story, which is given for what it is worth: 'On Saturday last a fashionably attired woman from Chicago registered at one of the leading hotels. She was unattended and she left

at the office that all callers

should be sent at once to her room. The •callers she expected were young women. What she wanted with them is not known. But few called and fewer still, If any, are believed to have accompanied her back home, although she is said to have offered them luxurious positions at extravagant salaries. The girls Invited, who were mostly pretty and highly respectable shop girls, thought they smelled a mouse and quickly decided to have nothing to do with the Chicago woman. Prior to her comlng here, it is learned that she wrote personal letters to a number of young women, most of whom are employed in local factories, and who are noted for their Attractive appearance- In these letters, she invited them, if interested in securing a lucrative and desirable position in Chicago to call upon her in a certain Terre Haute hotel, at a certain hour. No references were asked. Neither did she give any. She did however leave her address and it is said to have been a questionable number on Dearborn street."

A. Ohm, who has the contraot for the new Big Four depot, expects to begin work on it in a short time, and to have it ready for use about the 1st of November.

Good times seem to have arrived at the oar works, where a larger force of men is employed than at any time since the panic struck the city in 1893. Between eight hundred and nine hundred men are employed, and there is enough work contracted for to keep this force employed until late in the fall. As it is, the force is working day and night.

The fall races are going to be very successful, if present indications mean anything. Secretary "Bob" Watson, of the Trotting Association, announces the list of entries for the fall purses to be the largest In the history of the association. In the 2:2B pace there are 85 entries, the 2:18 trot has 15, the 3:09 pace 17, the 2:30 trot 35, the 3:28 trot 83, the 3:16 trot 15, the 33:15 pace 18, the 2:11 pace 19 and the "SideWheeler" stake 33 entries.

One of the most beautiful spots in this part of the country is Forest Park, which gave promise of being developed into a popular summer resort under the auspices of the old Vigo Real Estate Company several years ago. It is now proposed to organise a company to take hold of the

property, and make it a summer resort, erecting cottages and otherwise rendering it attractive for the summer season, Every year a number of parties occupy the grounds during the hot season, and from its nearness to the city, and its natural scenic effects it is thought that with the proper effort it can be rendered popular and made profitable to those who are figuring on this scheme.

Dr. Arthur Grimes, who is a graduate of the Indiana Dental college, announces that be has opened a dental office in the McKeen bank building at Sixth and Main streets. He is a well known and popular young man, and is destined to meet with success in the practice of his chosen profession.

Joe Finch died Thursday morning at the county asylum, where he was taken some time ago because of the violence of his malady. He was thirty-five years of age, and one of the best known figures in Terre Haute. He had been employed as a pressman In several of the printing offices of the city and was noted for his wit. He had been in bad health for several months and a short time ago it affected his mind to such an extent that he had to be con fined. The funeral will be held at three o'clock to-morrow afternoon from the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Finch, on north Sixth street.

There is to be given a display of fire works at the fair grounds some time during the month of August, that promises to be the finest ever shown here. Secretary Duncan of the fair association, and George C. Rossell are arranging the details of the affair, to which the admission will be but ten cents. The success of the Fourth of July entertainment has demonstrated that the people can be gathered at the fair grounds in immense numbers for some good attraction, if the price is made reasonable.

Dr. John R. Hager has opened a denta office in the Grand Opera House building, and announces himself as ready for business. Dr. Hager is a graduate of the Louisville college of dentistry, where he graduated with high honors. He has a wide acquaintance in this city, and is sure to build up a good practice,

HARRISON PARK CASINO.

A Good Vaudeville Bill for Next Week. Commencing to-morrow night the management of the Casino will offer to the patrons of this popular summer resort one of the best bills yet seen in this city each act being of a distinctly novel nature. It will certainly be vastly different from any of those yet seen at the Casino.

The patronage has steadily increased during the last few days, and it is certain' ly the pleasantest place in Vigo county The street car service is far better than ever before, as there are always plenty of cars at the park to get people home.

The bill for the coming week includes the great Lotta Gladstone, who, by the way, has made the biggest hit ever made in this city. As a monologue artist, she has no equal, or any opposition her .work being entirely different from any ever attempted by any other performer.

Miss Gladstone is an actress, singer, dancer and impersonator, and is very clever indeed. She is a whole show in herself, and if this were the only turn, it would be uncommonly good at any price, By popular request, the manager has decided to retain Miss Gladstone this week, as there are thousands of people in Terije Haute who have not yet seen her.

Next comes the "Two Gingersnaps," James Carmenelli and Mile. Lucille, in an entirely new, novel and original act entitled "Fun and Music in a Butcher Shop," producing music on meats, butcher's tools, scissor-grinding machines, etc. This team will be remembered by a great many of the patrons of the Casino last summer, as they were the star feature of the Fourth of July show.

Mme. Nelsonia, who will appear next week, does not believe in things supernatural, and it is therefore a source of surprise to those who know her and are familiar with her performance. It is indeed a paradox, for it seems an utter impossibility to see her work and not associate her with such. Yet, Mme. Nelsonia positively insists that she is not a mesmerist, hypnotist or spiritualist, and asserts that she has very little faith in same, and her feats, miraculous though they may appear, can all be accounted for by natural causes, vis: Intelligence, an

unequalled memory, resolution, judgment, and a highly cultivated and refined sense of touch.

Hadj. Lessik, the howling, gyrating son of the desert the premier Zouave drill artist, the marvelous Arabian whirlwind gun spinner and desert chief juggler of fire arms, a real Bedouin Sheik, from the scorching sands of Sahara, in his skillful exhibition of Arabian gun spinning and sword juggling, givesa wierd, fascinating oriental performance, which is entirely different from anything ever before witnessed in this country. His latest novelty is a grand transformation target, which looks very much like the ordinary one but, at the shot of a pistol three handsome silk flags drop, with portraits of Lincoln, Grant and Washington on them. It is certainly a great novelty and was a feature at Kosterfc& Bial

Major Tom Williams some time ago told me the story of one of Colonel Gib Wright's adventures in South Carolina in the closing months of the war.

It seems that General Kilpatrick, the Federal cavalry commander, had cap tnred a number of Confederates, and Wright was anxious to rescue them. He called for volunteers to go with him into the enemy's camp at night and picked out the men he needed from those who responded.

The Federal troopers were snoozing quietly in their camp and on both sides of the road leading to it, and their prisoners dozed by a lire near the center.

Just how they got there would be hard to explain, but shortly after midnight Gib Wright, at the head of a few men, rode at a gentle pace into the camp.

The drowsy Federals took them for a party of their own men returning from a scout, and paid no attention to them. Everything was working smoothly until one of the prisoners oanght a glimpse of the newcomers. The fellow lost his head and ruined the whole business. He leaped to his feet and looked into the faoes of the advancing Confederates. "Horray, boys!" he shouted in his delirious delight "Hang me, if there ain't old Gib Wright and his orowd. Darned if the whole Confederate army ain't right behind him!"

The prisoners all rushed forward with the regular rebel yell, and the sleeping Federals suddenly became very wide awake. From every side they showered bullets on their visitors, and Wright and his men had almost a miraculous deliveranoe. Several were killed and wounded, but the leader and the majority of the party managed to get away.—Atlanta Constitution.

Getting Up.

The Duke of Wellington slept on an iron camp bedstead 18 inches wide and argued that "when a man wants to turn over it is time to turn out." Edward Everett Hale quotes this remark of the duke in the "Ten Times One Record" and takes issue with him. "The principle is well enough," says Dr. Hale, "but I think the detail is wrong. Sleep is far too important to be made uncomfortable." Dr. Hale goes on to tell of various ingenious devices for automat ically waking a sleeper. A friend of his fixed his alarm so that at the foreordained moment the bedclothes were dragged from the bed. The same gentleman found another contrivance which worked better. "The alarm struck a match, which lighted the lamp which boiled the water for Rossiter's shaving. If Bossiter staid in bed too long, the water boiled over upon his razor and clean shirt and the prayer book his mother gave him and Coleridge's autograph and his open pocketbook and all the other precious things he could put in a basin underneath when he went to bed so he had to get up before that moment came."

A Generous AdmiMloa.

The London Graphic tells the follow* ing story about Hans Richter in an article on conductors:

Dr. Richter's popularity with his men is easily intelligible, for while nothing escapes his arguseyed vigilance he always recognises and acknowledges good work. A few years ago, while he was conducting—from memory, as usual —ono of Brahm's overtures at St. James' hall, "a strange tiling happened, "as Mr. Haggard used to say. Band and conductor lost touch for several bars, and when the piece was aided Dr. Richter signaled to the orchestra to play the overture again from the beginning. This time everything went without a hitch, and at the close Dr. Richter turned round, and addressing the audience said, "Ladies and gentlemen, the mistake was mine, not the orchestra's," a generous admission which provoked a sslvo of applause.

Joachim, the great violinist, was introduced to Carlyle by a mutual friend. The sage was about to take his morning walk, and be asked Joachim to accompany him. Baring a very long walk in Hyde park Carlyle kept the conversation, running on Germany and its great men —the Fredericks, Moltke and Bismarck —until at last Joachim thought it waa his turn to take a lead, and he started with the inquiry, "&> you knowS dale Bennett?"

Spoiled the Rescue.

Sprained Ankle.

A false step, a fall or a sudden wrench is very often the cause of that painful straining of the fibrous tissue commonly known as sprain. The ankle is, as a rule, the victimized member, and many are the tedious hours for which the careless dispenser of orange peel can be held accountable. There are several methods of treating a sprained ankle, one of which is strapping the leg from ankle £6 knee with adhesive plaster. The plaster is cut in strips about an inch in width and of sufficient length to encircle the leg to within half an inch, the space being left to insure free circulation. This treatment can only be applied before the leg begins to swell, therefore within a very short time of the accident.

Recovery by means of the ordinary treatment, that of elevating the foot and having recourse to hot applications, may be greatly accelerated by scientific massage. By proper manipulation the swelling can be reduced and the pain lessened in a very short time. If, however, the service of one who thoroughly understands giving the treatment cannot be obtained, simple rubbing will often give relief. The rubbing must always be up, not down, and the hands of the operator as well as the wounded limb should be made thoroughly antiseptic before any friction is applied, lest the secretions of the skin being rubbed into the pores should be reabsorbed and inflammation increased in the strained tissues.—New York Ledger.

A Queer Old Geography.

Among the interesting old books and papers belonging to the late Edward W. Wells of this city was a geography that lets in some light on the state of general information in the world a century and a half ago.,

America is "the last quarter of the world," and the "north part of the continent is very little known." The map of North America gives all the region northwest of California as "parts unknown." The great lakes are down ae Superior, Hlenois, Huron, Erie and Frontenac. "N. England" is all one little patch reaching up to the St. Lawrence. Louisiana occupies most of the middle country. The Oyo'' river is the name of the Ohio. The chief town of New Jersey is said to be Elizabeth Town. The climate is thus explained, "In the north are vast unknown Mountains, perpetually covered with snow from whence the Winds blowing the greatest part of the year these Countries become much colder than those in Europe in the same latitudes."

It is interesting to note that this work that is more than a century and a half old should advocate quite vigorously the construction of canals across the Panama and Suez isthmuses. Hartford Courant

Gladstone Fooled Them..

On one occasion two gentlemen, invited as guests at a table where Mr. Gladstone was expected, made a wager that they would start a conversation on a subject about whioh even Mr. Gladstone would know nothing. To accomplish this end they read up an ancient magazine article on some unfamiliar subject connected with Chinese manufactures. When the favorable opportunity came, the topic was started, and the two conspirators watched with amusement the growing interest in the subject which Mr. Gladstone's face betrayed. Finally he joined in the conversation, and their amusement was turned into gnashing of teeth—to speak figuratively—when Mr. Gladstone said, "Ah, gentlemen, I perceive you have been reading an article I wrote in the

Magazine some 80 or 40 years ago."

Old Geronimo Still Lively.

Old Geronimo, chief of the Apaches, is the most noted Indian of the wild tribes of North America. He is 90 years of age and as straight as an arrow. His eyes ore keen, piercing and cruel. His feet are very large.

When at the post at Fort Sill, T., old Geronimo plays njonte, a game of cards liked very much by the Indians, but when he can get permission to leave the reservation his time is spent in hunting, of which he is still very fond. —Chicago Inter Ocean.

Depends,

Dr. Johnson was onoe consulted by an old lady on the degree of wickedness to be attached to her son's robbing an orchard. "Madam," said Johnson, "it all depends upon the weight of the boy. I remember my schoolfellow, Davy Garrick, who was always a little fellow, robbing a dozen orchards with impunity, but the very first time I climbed up an apple tree—for I was always a heavy boy—the bough broke with me, and it waa called a judgment."

"No," ahe said, "yon don't really love ma "Yes, I swear I do," be protested. "I love yon with all my soaL I would ask you to be my wife tomorrow if I were properly situated."

But his plea was useless. She had Studied human nature and knew that when a man is really in love he doesn't stop to consider whether he can afford to marry or not.—Cleveland Leader.

"It's remarkable,"said Senator 8orgbum, "how differently people are affected by the same thing." "Have yon been reading medicine?" "No. I was thinking of my speech. It kept me awake four nights, and pot everybody who heard it to sleep*"— Washington Star.

Naval Impudence.

Fifty years ago the allowance of paint in the British navy was very small, and sometimes the officers had to pay large sums in order that their ships might maintain a decent appearance. One of them resorted to a humorous expedient, either to soften the heart of the navy board, or if that proved impossible, to express his opinion.

Sir John Phillimore painted one side of his old yellow frigate black and white and used the rest of the black paint in printing on the other side in large letters, "No more paint."

The navy board wrote to call his attention to the impropriety of his conduct and signed themselves, as they did officially, "Your affectionate friends."

To this Sir John replied that he could not obliterate the objectionable letters unless he was given more paint and signed himself in turn, "Your affeotionate friend, John Phillimore."

The navy board then called his attention to the impropriety of the signature, to which Sir John replied, acknowledging the letter, stating that he regretted that the paint had not been sent and ending: "I am no longer your affectionate friend, John Phillimore."

His frigate was allowed to retain her original yePow, and perhaps the navy board did right thus to punish Sir John's impertinenoe.—Youth's Companion.

Beneficial Effects of Coffee.

A woman writer who gave up ooffee recently found that she was unable to continue her writing with any success until she had resorted again to the stimulating beverage. Without it her mind was logy and heavy. The Medical Times quotes an authority on the subject of prescribing coffee as a medicine in certain states of great debility and adds: "Tea and coffee seem to be much alike in many respects, but the latter is greatly preferable as to its sustaining power. It would be a great advantage to our working olasses and a great help toward the further development of social sobriety if coffee were to come into greatly increased use and if the ability to make it well could be acquired. As an example of the difference of effeot of tea and coffee upon the nerves the writer notes what he believes many sportsmen will confirm—that it is far better to drink ooffee than tea when shooting. Tea, if strong or in any quantity, especially if the individual be not in very robust health, will induce a sort of nervousness which is very prejudicial to steady shooting. Under its influence one is apt to shoot too quickly, whereas ooffee steadies the hand and gives quiet nerves."

Thought Him On* of the Queer One*. Mr. Quiller-Oouch tells this story in the Pall Mall Magazine: "Hicks, gov ernor of the Cornwall County Lunatic asylum, had a great many friends—extramural friends, I mean—and among them an accomplished landscape painter. This artist, captivated by the beauty of the little °eaport town of East Looe, took lodgings there, chose his 'subject* and started to make some drawings of it on the rocks at low tide. "A few days later Hicks drote OVer to see him, and arrived at West Looe to be taken across the harbor in a boat To his surprise, he found a boatman waiting for him. Still more to his surprise, the boatman hailed him thus: 'Aw, Mr. Hicks, I've a-been looking out for '**6 the last day or two. I knowed you'd come. He's over here now. He's been hollering and screeching. He sits at low water down among the weed, a-painting at a bit of board, and he calls out, "Come into the garden, Maud." A pretty garden he've a-got there! "I'm here by the gate alone." Not a gate within a mile of 'unl You can "take 'un he's quiet'

Presence of Mind.

Although it is not given to everybody to know exactly what to do at the right moment, one woman at least can lay claim to a presence of mind which may, without undue exaggeration, he considered phenomenal.

This woman's little boy was ailing from some trivial childish complaint and the doctor ordered him some medicine. He had just taken hiB daily dose when his mother said, with some excitement: "1 quite forgot to shake that bottle afore giein y't Johnnie. Come here."

Johnnie obeyed, and, much to his astonishment and disgust, was subjected to a vigorous shaking from the strong arms of the parent at the conclusion of which he was laid down with the remark: "There, my laddie, that'll dae. It should be gey weel mixed up noo, I'm thin kin, but don't let me forget again."

Johnnie promised,—Pearson's Weekiy i/t'* Information Fiw a Ihntiwatal Mala.
