ON THE QUI VIVE.

Terre Haute's prominence as a center for aecret societies was well demonstrated at Indianapolis this week, the Prairie City looming up with candidates and representatives at several important meetings. At the meeting of the Grand Council of Royal and Select Masters, Dr. F. W, SLaley was made a member of the committee on necrology, and received a number of votes as a candidate for grand captain of the guard, which is the starting point for those who desire to pass {ihrough the chairs of that grand body. At the ^meeting of the Grand Chapter of Koyal

Arch Masons, Hon. Thomas B. Long was jjvtnade chairman of the committee on forifeign correspondence, a position he has

Ifllled with credit for many years. He was alMT reelected president of the 'Indiana Council Order of High Priesthood, hehav--itefng been elected to that position at the death of the late Alexander Thomas. The latter had filled the office for nearly a quarter of a century: Charles-Bafc& was made chairman pf the committee on claims of that body, and in the election was next to the highest candidate 'or

fcke

position of grand royal Arch captain, making the best showing that had ever been made by a new candidate for that position, and was beaten only by a man who had been a candidate for the place for three years past. At the meeting of the Grand Council, I. O. of Red Men, Ira Kisner was aprominent candidate for the position of grand junior sagamore, and made a very strong race. Charles L. Feltus was appointed great instructor for that order for the state. At the meetiug of the ladies' branch of the Red Men, the Degree of Pocahontas, Mrs. Charles L. Feltus was elected great Pocahontas, the presiding officer of the order. It is seldom that one family has the distinction conferred upon itt of furnishing two presiding officers for two branches of the same order. Mr. Feltus Wiw elected great sachem of the Red Men a few years ago, auA now his wife is elected to the highest office in the Degree of Pocahontas. Taking it all in all, the state of Terre Haute cut a wide swath in secret society circles at Indianapolis. It is said that there is not another city in thestato that in proportion to its population has so many *ell organized secret societies with such large memberships.

The boys of Co. B. received notice last Buuday morning that their furloughs,, .. which were to have expired on Monday, s'^'had been extended uwtil the lOtli of No--

X'«mber» or two days lolfowltf!# the ekctloiil.1 This wHTmeritsbers who are voters to enjoy the franchise next month Of the 115 men who were mustered into Co. B. all but twenty-eight are voters. It is estimated that fully sixty or seventy per cent, of thf voters fire Republicans. An interesting fact in connection with the mustering in of the company is the remarkable number of occupations and professions that are represented. The mustering roll shows them to be divided up as follows: Newspaper men, 2 blacksmiths, 1 tinners. 8 grocers, 1 cabinet makers, 1 rollers, 1 paper makers, 1 clerks, 10 students, 11 salesmen, theatrical managers, 1 musicians. 2 mechanics, 1 laundrymen, 2 plasterers, 2 farmers, 7 bakers, 1 (jorists 8 engineers, 1 teamsters, 2 laborers, SI teachers, 4 carpenters, 8 bookkeepers, 2 lawyers, 2 railroaders, 1 printers, 2 druggists. 1 harnesunakers, 1 polishers, 1 motormen, 1 barbers, bntohers, 2 paper hangers, 2 electricians, 1 minet.i, 2 prtilsers, 1 collar makers, 1 steam fitters, 1: dairymen, 1 cooks, 2 candy makers, 1 millers, 1*, steel workers, 1. This shows that forty different occupations are represented in the membership of the company,

It ts hinted that the serious differences that are known to have existed in the Republican ranks in this county are in a fair way to be adjusted. No protocol has been I igned as yet, but overtures of peace have Leen made that give promise of bearing trait. No peace commissioners will be required to settled the terms of peace.

Them was a conference of Republicans of the Fifth district at Indianapolis yesterday to discuss the congressional situation in this district. Very flalteriug reports were made from nearly all the counties, and it was the opinion of those present that Mir. Faris would be reelected. He finish**) up his canvass of Morgan county Wednesday night, aad reports having had large audiences. Mr. Hamill continues to hammer away, and is making the fight of his life. The middle of the road Populists added to the gaiety of nations this week by filing a certificate of nomination for the stralghtout candidate for congress." It wm signed by over two hundred Populists of the district, and is to be filed in every county iu the district.

There was a scene at the special meeting the city council last night that was not on the programme, and in which Councilman Phil Retnbold played the star part and City Attorney Foley the secondary role. The trouble arose over the aclion of the council on a resolution and motion presented by Mr. Rein bold concerning tins public drinking fountains, and their alteration in accordance with the provisions of Ilia resolution. There waa a misntsder* standing about the matter, and Mr. Reinbold, who feels that lie has not been treated exactly right during Ids membership In th« council, iune very angry, because he thought uwre was an effort to "do" him. In the midst of the argument he treaebed over hi* desk and grabbed the City Attorney by the hair In a wry fore

TERRE

ble manner. If Mr. Foley had been boisted by a dynamate charge he couldn't bare risen any more rapidly, but he came up smiling and explained that his decision that had been questioned was in favor of Mr. Reiubold's proposed action. This quieted matters, and the miniature war tbat seemed in sight was done away with. Mr. Reinbbld occupies an unique position in the council, and has it in his power to make some striking soenes, and last night's episode may be the forernnner to some more exciting.

OUR NEW DOMAIN,

CHANCES FOR AMERICAN CAPITAL IN a PORTO RICO.

ot Much Prospect forM en of Limited Means and None at all for the Poor Man—About Land Titles—Adios to Porto Rico.

Special Correspondence of The Mail.

Poxce, Pokto Rico, Sept. 20th.—AP though you may now make the,circuit of this island by railway and visit several interior towns in a parlor car, it is infinitely pleasanter, if time is not pressing, to travel over these tropical countries on horseback, or en coche wherever practicable, Nothing mote deligbtfhl can be imagined than a saddle-journey from San Juan to Ponce, the capital—a distance of thirty' miles as the crow flies, but nearer fifty by the winding of the old camino real, or •'royal road" built by the early Spaniards almost four centn ries ago. The interior 'o{, Porto Rico is extremely fertile a.nd so well? tflled that the entire island looks like one continuous garden. It is remarkably' well supplied with towns and villages, there being no fewer than seventy-three with upwards of a thousand population) besides innumerable hamlets, of grass? covered huts surrounding some tileroofed church or bodega. All the towns are connected by good highways, with many transverse rjpads, and the railwayi, begun in 1893, follows the irregular shoreline some three hundred miles and already sends several short branches into,the interior. When fully completed—as it is likely soon to be, under energetic American management—Porto Rico's railway system will include five lines, with twelve sections, about five hundred miles all told not abaS showing fpr the three-cbrnered island wfribh is only about one-thirteenth the size of the State of Michigan, or somewhere about ninety-six miles long by thirty-si± miles wide, in its longest and .%ld£st part. Before the war there were 47b iniles of telegraph in operation in, Porto Rico and a deep-sea cable connecting it with the Uuited States, Europe and the other Antilles. It had also a wellestablished banking institution, '"ptio&e headquarters were in San Juan,* with branches extending throughout the island and in 18(K) a charter was extended for another bank, with the exclusive privilege of a note-issue', the original capitftl being 1.600,

tains fully half as many people, the largest island^avlng so mtich waste land while every level strip between the highlands and the sea is filled with coffee-groves, cotton, cane, rice and tobacco. Then comes a mass of irregular hills, apparently piled hap-hazzard, around cloud-capped Yunque. their upper heights yet covered with the magnificent forests which Columbus so much admired. Flourishing plantations extend along way up the sloping hill-sides and down into the green valleys that lie between, while in hundreds of narrow canyons grass grows and flocks and herds find rich pasturage. Porto Rico is -famous for its excellent cattle, and for a particularly fine breed of horses from its mountain districts. Though the methods of farming are naturally most primitive and the lazy people invariably put off until to-morrow everything which should be done to-day-less than a quarter of the crops now raised by the present slip-shod methods are needed for the support of the population. Never was there a small country better equipped for sustaining itself, independent of the outside world, than Porto Rico. On the higher grounds European corn and vegetables ate cultivated to perfection and between the coffee, cotton and sugar plantations and the sturdy line of ancient trees, which stand out in the landscape like a ruff around the necks of the topmost peaks—rice is grown, of a peculiar mountain variety which does not require flooding and constitutes the staff of life for the laboring glasses.

There are said to be something over five hundred varieties of native trees on the island and in the loftier altitudes apples, pears and other Northern fruits might be successfully grown* Every wall and hedge-row is overrun with vines and blossoming creepers, and every spot not devoted to artificial crops is covered with natural fruit-bearing trees, or .teeming with flowers, such as ara carefully tended in cur Northern conservatories, here springing in wild and odorous profusion.

When the discoverers named this island the Rich Port, they believed It to contain incalculable mineral riches. Gold, copper, iron, sine, acd coal are known to exist in several places, but no serious attempt has ever been made to develop these resources. Possibly under American management they may come to the front in the near future—particularly the Iron and coal, which ia this locality would prove more valuable. If found in consider* able quantities, than most gold mines. The only industry In this line which has bees pursued to any extent here are the salt-mines, at Salinas, on the south -coast and at Cape Rojo, ou the west. The sponge-fields, too, are practically inexhaustible and have hardly been touched and there are extensive quarries of beautiful white stone, granite and marble, which bare been entirely neglected for lack of capital, but In Yankee hands would pay well.

A good many Americans are already bent, to look up the prospect* for investment of capital and the business chances

sent every element, professional, commer-

thd

ial, manufacturing and industrial life it is safe to say that there are a Ihrewd lot who will make searching and Conclusive investigations. I have talked $pth several of them, and in every case Jfiey express disappointment. They did Iftt realize at a distance that Porto Rico

tnot

in the least like our western states territories, with extensive tracts of ^occupied and unclaimed lands, or even like New England and our Southern states with their abandoned farms and broken-down plantations: but here every of land is owned by somebody and only be acquired by the payment of a round sum. Since Americans have en the island, prices have advanced to absurd extent—it being now pretty erally understood that we are a thy people and liberally inclined, en the ignorant market-people, spying ail American afar off, immediately jump tin ou their prices for the simplest things, a hundered per cent or more. They seem to think that, as a nation, we are literally "made out of money" and have come to disburse it.

There is no doubt that certain manufactories would do well In Porto Rico— such as a paper mill, for instance, an icemaking plant, and others of similar nature to supply the needs of the island. T^ere area few good openings for wellConducted American hotels, restaurants, barber-shops, laundries, tailoring establishments, livery-stables, hack and ex-press-lines and in the professional lines American doctors, dentists and photographers will doubtless soon absorb most business of that nature while the native laWyers—who, like other Spanish-Ameri-are born limbs of the law,, will conto monopolize the legal business. the building era begins, as it is to do by next year at fartherest, will be work for awhile for mechanof all sorts. Probably in time the icultural lands will pass into the hands mericans, their superior methods and mercial sagacity being bound to event[ly absorb the holdings of a race so illto compete with them as the Porto us. To-day, in spite of adverse cirstances, coffee-growing in this island is^bout the most profitable in the world, leader ordinarily favorable circumstances it|never fails to pay from thirty to forty per cent on the investment, years in and out. Where the bounties of nature are so lavishly bestowed»as in Porto Rico, there must be many new industries within the

the palm-oil nuts, castor and vanilla BtiRns with which the island abounds^ as well as the spice and dye-plants fruit packing estabilshments, raising ohickens and eggs with incubators (a thing yet un-heard-of here) and especially breweries. In the last named line there is certainly a most excellent opening. The people consume a vast amount of beer, which is all brought from the United States and Germany, at great expense. The fashion here is to serve it with broken ice in the glass, which of course renders it disagreeably flat and tasteless.

Porto Rico is not so very hot—not a circumstance to New York or Washington In mid-summer—the average daily temperature being eighty degrees but the fact remains that it is extremely trying to foreigners.

It stands to reason that a climate in which iron corrodes in six weeks and where paper is in a short time reduced to powder, must be hard on the human frame. While the natives sometimes live to good old age, a few instances being recorded of persons past one hundred years, people from the North are sure of having a serious time for a year or two and if they survive the acclimating process, are generally cut off, long before the natural three-score years and ten.

Yesterday I was talking with a Chicago real-estate man whom I met in Ponce. The grit of what he told me Is as follows: "1 left home with the idea that Porto Rico would offer some splendid opening for men of small means, and came here expressly to seek information in tbat line. And I have been disenchanted, not to say grievously disappointed. You know how it is in the United States—that a man who has only a few thousand at command is quite lost sight of in this age of pools and trusts and combines and syndicated department stores and 1 supposed that here was one of our new possessions to which he might come and with his limited means begin life under more hopeful conditions. But I was altogether mistaken. I find tbat the coffee, sugar and tobacco plantations are of great extent, and although their owners are willing to part with them, they want any where from fifty thousand up to half a million dollars. "Fruit farming, being anew venture, is uncertain and reliable data upon which to base estimates are impossible to obtain. After investigating all these, I turned my attention to dairying and minor industries but there are. unfavorable circumstance* surrounding each of them, more or less insurmountable and on the whole I have concluded to go home and be contented. It is an understood fact that nowhere on God's green earth does the poor man stand so good a chance as in the United States."

As an indication of what is already going on, it may be stated thai there are seven bids before the council of Ponce for a street railroad franchise, between that city and the port—a distance of two and a-half miles. The bid offers ten thousand dollars outright, with forfeitures at the end of twenty years. The plans include

lor men of smaller means. They reprts' every known form ot motor, and one pro

vides for a swinging car to be run ou a single rail. The postal department has recently established stations all over the island, and bids for carrying the mails to various points have been called for. It is said that a Philadelphian went by the last steamer to the United States to purchase machinery for an ice-plant, to be set up at a town called Mayaguez and rumors are rife of large deals by American syndicates in Porto Rican tobacco and coffee-lands.

Ponce is the largest city of the island, with a population in normal times of perhaps thirty-eight thousand. It is a rich old town, exceptionally clean for SpanishAmerica, and well built. Its dwellinghouses are mostly of wood, with iron balconies, green jalousies and windows without glass, while the public buildings are of brick and stone. The latter are grouped around a palm-shaded plaza and include a Roman Catholic Cathedral and Episcopal church, beside the usual "palacio," theater and casino. There are a half dozen other churches, of course all Romish, a well-kept hospital, public library and reading-room, two colleges and a military school. The wide, well-paved streets are lighted with gas, by an English company. The next town in point of population is San Germain, which has about thirty thousand, according to the latest census. A very interesting place to visit is Mayaguez, on the west coast, with a population of twelve thousand. It is a garrison towu with clubs and gas-works and the best hotel on the island. A fine iron bridge, completed some six years ago, connects the town with its port but, unfortunately, the harbor is accessible only to vessels drawing not more than sixteen feet.

This is our last day in Porto Rico, and to-morrow we sail for Jamaica, en route to Havana. Fannik B. Ward.

UNCLE SAM IN THE PHILIPPINES. The recent expressions on the part of the peace commissioners at Paris, and the tone of the president's speeches throughout his western trip, make it evident that it is not the administration plan to surrender the Philippines, or any part of them, to Spain or any other power. The dilatory Spanish'commissioners, in their effort to force the United States to assume the Cuban debt, announced that before they would assume the Cuban debt, or guarantee any part of it, they would prefer to surrender the Philippines, whereupon Judge Day remarked very pointedly that the,surrender of those islands "would'

regard to the Culwn or a.njFjOthieidebt. The administration has givfen much thought to the many intricate questions involved in the assumption of authority over the Philippines, and the plan submitted to congress, which cf course will have the preparation of the laws governing the new countries, after the treaty has been approved by the senate, will be broad and liberal. The purpose of the president is to confer upon the inhabitants of all the islands which have passed from under the dominion of Spain to that of the United States all the blessings of an American civilization. They are to be advanced in the enjoyment of political rights as rapidly as their progress will permit. At first they will be under the complete domination of the United States. As soon as it is deemed safe, they will be given a local legislature. There will be an American governor general, however, who will exercise the absolute veto power. In time even the absolute veto power will be removed, according to the plans projected, and the Islands will enjoy absolute self-government in all respects, except that the United States retaining its suzerainty wiil require tbat all matters having an international bearing must come to the state department at Washington for decision. This is the policy which the administration has in view with regard to the government of all the insular possessions acquired by the United States or to be acquired. This policy removes the troublesome question of statehood. At the same time

Jt will secure to all of the

islands and their .people perfect selfgovernment, under the protection of the greatest and most enlightened nation of the world.

One of the greatest difficulties which appeared to be in the way of the government of the Philippines by the United States was the belief that the assumption of this responsibility would necessitate the maintenance by this country of a very largely increased standing army. Nothing less than a regular army of 100,000 would, It was claimed, snfflce. An investigation made of the military burdens which their crown colonies have imposed upon England, France, Holland and Spain bas done much to dissipate the exaggerated notions which have been prevalent in this regard. For instance, it has been found that Holland, with a population of about 5,000,000, governs a population cf about six times that number with an army of not more than 12,000. The armies maintained by England in her colonies are composed for the most part of native troops, the number of British soldiers used for garrison purposes being surprisingly small. Befote the insurrection in Cuba, Spain had less than 2&JOQO troops there, and that in the face of a hostile population. She had but 8,000 in the Philippines, and that number proved almost sufficient to sustain her sovereignty through a course of maladministration which has been seldom equaled.

MODERN PHILOSOPHY

Most of us are more or less conceited. The hardest work is trying to keep out of work.

As soon as we buy a new pair of rubbers the rain stops. Most people with no brains to speak 'of are light sleepers.

Not every boy who has his picture taken holding a fiddle can play. A fellow with fancy shoes on hardly ever amounts to much. 1

Almost any mau with a Prince Albert coat thinks he can preach. The trouble is, the women who head the fashions have no other fun.

Advertisements for a college may be written in very bad grammar. Not every man who wants another to run for office wants him elected.

You can't tell by .people's clothes what kind of household furniture they have. People who never call any other time are sure to come when one is real busy.

It is astonishing what ugly girls from larger towns come visiting in Washington. You may tell folks all your life not to drink cold drinks on a hot day It does no good. I

A man who shaves off his beard ts disappointed if everybody doesn't talk to him about it.

No matter how stubborn a man is, he has to wear glasses when the time comes, just the same. ... sVt

Nobody works as hard as the people who are always worrying for fear they cau't rest enough.

You might as well print the cuss words in full, for every reader fills the blanks out anyway. i' .n®

Lots of men have double chins of whom you wouldn't suspect it until they shave off their beards.

No woman is married long without folks being able to detect it by her satisfied appearance. f'

When a boy once begins to smoke cigarettes, we no longer have any worry about his future.

We have seen men strike at a striking machine all day and allow their wives to a a S

When we«see aman with his coat and vest buttoned u{) close o^.a hbt^ d^y want tp strip Jiltrff \Y? are-evidently iiU cut out for so thing,' but' too mrtimol^s"[iever seem, find iiut what It hfr'lf"

Nothing lookb more pathetic than to see a boy who doesn't enjoy smoking, trying to let on that he enjoys a cigar.

Anybody who goes fishing nowadays, has his picture taken with his catch in his hand, and yet folks won't always believe him.

Whenever a man says he is in favor of anything for the public good, watch him and you will find that he has some selfish..^ motive. a

Just because a fellow has his picture taken with his hat on is no sign that he has a cold head. He may be trying to look "sporty." Ai.kx Mii.lkr.

"Human Hearts." Hal Reid's beautiful play, which will be seen at the Grand Tuesday night, has been seen in this city, before, but like "Shore Acres," "The Old Homestead" and other favorites, time only increases its'hold upon the hearts of the people. The prattle of an innocent child, the tears of an old blind mother, the strong love of a simple country girl, the trust of a half-wit, the love of an old-time negro, the passion of an adventuress, and the tender memory of a dead mother on the part of the governor of Arkansas, are all cleverly intermingled by the deft band of the author of this absorbing tale of the Arkansas bills. This season will see many changes in the production new management, new faces, new scenery and new ideas, will tend to make it the most notable season in it*^four years of continued success., -r

The plrfy Is produced this season under the direction of Albert Perry, a gifted and rising young player, for the past two seasons associated with Charles Frohman. Mr. Perry will also enact the part of the hero, Tom Logan, and will be surrounded* by a carefully selected company of capable players.

CHATTAH00OA.

The Detroit Tribune Sept. 12th, has this to say of Chattanooga which will be presented at the Grand Friday evening "la Chattanooga, which opened at Whitney's opera house last night, Lincoln J. Carter has shown his skill not only as an originator of novel scenic and mechanical effects, but as a playwright capable of giving the public a consistent and well written play of considerable literary merit. The story is an interesting one and deals with some of the more prominent incidents of the civil war. The heart interest is strong and the situations thrilling.

Mr. Carter has originated many good train effects, but the one which he has introduced in Chattanooga is without doubt the best work of this kind be

done.

Charles E. Locke and Miss Augusta S. Lenartz, of St. Louis, Mo., were married Thursday afternoon at St. Luke's rectory, by Rev. William Mitchell. The bridal couple left for the east on a wedding tour.
