A WOMAN ON THE SCHOOL BOARD. Km. Harper AaaMmra Her Canditecjr as»d the tcMM* Tfcwttor. lb the FtopU fterre llamU:

In announcing myself as a candidate for school trustee I have merely made a practical application of a principle maintained for years, vis: that there should be one woman on the School Board. Upon broaching this subject at various in the past the reply has always "Women liar* no political influence, they do nothing to help the party and they matft not expect the offices." In the present instance I hare not once been met with this argument.

For a number of yean women have been eligible to the office of school trustee in Indiana, but, for the reason above stated, not one has ever been elected, although they have served very creditably as superintendents of schools in a number of places. In New York, Boston and many eastern cities, women are giving excellent satisfaction as members of the school board. The same is true in Chicago and various cities in Illinois while in the Western states it is taken a matter of course that women shall be represented on the board of trustees.

As there are no valid arguments against appointing a woman as school trustee, it seems superfluous to make any in favor of ouch a course. There are 120 teachers in our public schools, of these IS are men and lOo are women. Many questions come up in relation to these teachers in which a woman's judgment is needed. In all matters pertaining to the education and training of children, a woman's, and especially a mother's, experience and knowledge would be of the highest valae to the schools. In cases of discipline, in sanitary regulations, in fact in all matters which come up before tin school board for adjustment and settlement, the man's ideas should be supplemented and assisted by the woman's.

I have no desire to enter into any political contest or to make such pledges and promises as would doubtless secure for me this position. If elected I shall take the office entirely untrammeled, with no object but to labor to tlte best of my ability for the good of the schools. The greatest danger which to-day threatens our public school system is that it may pass into the control of politicians. The element which is seeking to bring this about will naturally oppose the elec tionof a woman to the office of school trustee. If the people of Terre Haute, who have so nobly come to the front to redeem their city, believe that I can serve them acceptably as a member of tiie school board, they will testify to this fact by using their influence to secure my election, an action which will be fnl ly appreciated and reciprocated.

Respectfully submitted, IDA A. HARI'KK,

MASTERSON AND HIS MISTRESS. A MllltaMlr*1! Pretty Man* Willi a Pratt? Blond*.

Nrw York, May 18.—Muret Masterson, an ex-Supreme court judge of Prescott, Aria., is in jail on a charge of attempting to kill his alleged cousin and mistress, Mrs. Alice Hopkinson, at the Grand Central Oat, No. 65 West Thirtysixth street Mrs. Mopkinson makes a similar chaiue against Masteraon. Masterson called at the house early in the evening, kicked the door open, and entering her department demand the return of $100,000, which he claimed she hnd taken from him, and threatened to murder her if she did not give it to him. A shot was heard and Masterson rushed from the room with a smoking nstol in his hand, and running the West Thirtieth street police station demanded Mrs. Hopkmson's arrest for attempting to shoot him. Mrs. Hopkinson was arrested and at the police station made a countercharge against Masteraon, Masterson is said to be worth $5,000,000, owning mining stock in the Southwest Mrs. Hopkinson had in her possession a love letter in which the millionaire called her "darling" and "'pet," He speaks of her as the only woman he ever truly loved and 88ks her to have pity on him.

BUTTERWORTH ON THE BILL

BE BAXRES OBJ ECTJOSB TO SOX EOF THE CLAUSEN.

Applttnd tkeSpeeek-

JMIver Bteemrin in ike SenateOther Kar«rauli*H By Telerraph To^uy.

Wajshtixgtox, May IS.—The House resumed conaideratson of the tariff bill to-day. Batterworth spoke at considerable length saying he had studied the tariff question as thoroughly as any subject ever examined by him, and had no doubt of the value of a tariff system. The great danger was that in steering free of a Democratic free trade too high rates of protection might be encumbered. The Democrats applauded his remarks and asked onani moos consent that lie might continue without reference to time. Kasuming Butterworth said the issue was clearly made in the last campaign between the two parties and the country announced its decision in favor of the theory advocated yr the Republicans. The great danger is that protection may be so discriminated that certain industries prove highly successful at the expense of others. There are cases of this sort where certain industries hive given a thousand fold returns, while othere have languished. [Applause on the Democratic side.] He criticised *tbe feature ol the bill which places the tariff on articles imported from Canada. We sell to Canada much more than we buy from her, and by placing a tariff on articles she sells us we destroy our own market The opinions of many distinguished public men, such as John Quincy Adams, Abraham Lincoln and Grant were in favor of reciprocity with Canada. Before discussion of this bill is over we shall see the hop brigade, assisted by the cabbage cavalry, charging on this bill. Our manufacturers do sell more cheaply to people of other countries than to the people of the United States [Great applause on the Democratic side.] He doubted the propriety of a high rate of duty on tin plate. Our' most profitable industry has been copper tins which have made millions on millions yet this bill proposes to put a duty on copper, in spite of the duty already placed on it by the present tariff. The people in foreign countries get copper cheaper than our own people. [Great applause on Democratic side.J While he believed the country favors a redaction of the duty on sugar he could not favor the bounty system. He would favor a moderate reduction of the duty instead of the plan proposed by the bill. Batterworth closed by reiterating his earnest belief in the protective system though he* feared it is unwisely applied by some features of the present bill. He was roundlv applauded by the Democrats at the close.

Quay called up a bill to provide for an American register for the barge Ottawa, of Philadelphia, and it was passed without debate. The Senate thea took up and passed a few bills on the calendar, and at 1 o'clock resumed consideration of the silver bill, Jones taking the floor.

THE FOREIGN BUDGET.

The Meet* Stukf-Tkc M* tana'* E«r*fW Trfjk. Nrw Yoax, May IS.—Edmund Yates* London cable to the Tribune says: 'The Queen has been much interested in Mr. Stanley, and as she was determined "to know him she invited all members of her family that were available to meet him. He drove from the station at Windsor on his arrival to Cranbourne Tower toW indoor Bark, where the Queen was having tea, and had his first audience there, after which he drove back to the castle after dinner. He was desired by the Queen to give a short account of his journey, which short account took over an hour to deliver.

The Queen has now given up her habit of always standing after dinner in the gallery at Windsor, and as soon as she ets into the drawing room a chair •rought and she sits down as she cannot, from lameness, stand any length of time. It is a great change for every one about her, for the new role is relaxed with many people, and those who are near the queen or who may be speaking to her, sit down as well. The Queen is Queen always. Nothing tires her so much as the drawing room, for the perpetual vari ety of colors dazzle and much fatigue her. She was, however, gracious and smiling, and no one would have guessed from her appearance she was not well.

The visit of the shah's first favorite wife to Europe will cost at least 20,000 pounds. Her journey from Teheran occupied four weeks and the expenses were 3,800 pounds. The fees of two surgeons who attended her in Vienna and who operated on her left eye amounted to 1,600 pounds and 1.000 pounds has been paid for the hire of a villa at Franzensbad, where the sultana is to go for a month before returning to Persia. The sultana, who is just forty-two, and looks like a very aged woman, has immense in fluence over the shah who is devoted to her, and if she had died during the operation which she recently underwent astral ego rs who advised the journey to Vienna would assuredly have been beheaded.

BEFORE HIS HONOR.

A Farmer's Innoeent FaeeSeearee Hit Keloaae—Wot So With Ocoiflc. George W. Hook, a mild-faced, innocent looking farmer, whosaid that he had becfta working for 50 cents a day and his board in the rural districts north of here, was arraigned for drunkenness in Police court this morning. He had come here with the intention of boarding an Illinois bound train, and having a little money about his person fell into bad company and became loaded. He plead guilty to the charae against him and, after a short silence, Prosecutor Huston said: "You go down to jail and get what belongs to you and resume your journey to Illinois.

The man's face brightened up wonderfully and slapping his hat on hie head he vanished from the court room. Georgie Wagner, a colored female whose record is as black as her face, received the regula tkm sixteen days. After weeping over it emotionally for a few moments she braced up and looked dark defiance at the prosecutor and the mayor.

8tr»w Hot* for Summer

Wmt.

There has always been a demand for straw hats, but within the last two yean they have been worn very much more than they ever were before. Whether or not this change came as a result of the greatly increased number of fancy flannel shirts worn it is evident that men now are more considerate of their comfort than used to be their habit "Yes," said the traveling salesman of a leading house, "we expect that the sale of straw hats will be a very large one this summer. Indeed, it certainly will be if the dealers can foretell their customers'wishes at all. Tho yachting shape, with its stiff brim, will be the leader, and that worn by those who care for their appearance as well as their comfort The white will be the favorite and the best The band will be rather wide, and black mainly. The white or colored bands have been quite in vogue in the past, but I do not think they will be as much worn hereafter."—New York Herald.

An Incident of tlte Southern Food*. Another darky bought a ball for $3.00, worth $50, as he was standing on a piece of land about the shee of a saddle blanket. He probably paid full value. He shot him seven times with a fortyfour Winchester rifle before he fell, showing that the vital spark was deeply implanted. Not finding sufficient dry space on which to skin him, he tied his tail to the rear erf a skiff and dragged him to a railroad platform, one and one-half miles distant, there to butcher him. Th& next morning he sent me several large steaks. They look*»d more like rubber door mats than edibles for a human boing, so I tendered them to an overflow sufferer, who acogpted them smilingly. —Cor. Louisville Courier-JonraaL

GAMBLING RAGES RAMPANT.

/II.L OP THE &S3IS All HOW WIDE OFEJK.

X*oliC]T HM Greoter HoM on tike Pt» yl« Thu £v«r-l^«Mieu Canv,' ta*LMlXl«liluritlwC» «td»teaC3moeou

Gambling rages rampant throughout every quarter of the city and up to the present date no effort has been made by the police commissioners or the police to suppress it Poker and policy are the principal games being played but an occasional game of hassarda is reported. So far as known no keno or faro games are going. The open and close racket has been worked to a greater or lees extent in order to blind some of the people who have been keeping tab on them but it will suffice to say that they are all open. There are games of poker running over Main street saloons which catch a host of traveling men and young fellows about town who figure largely in the so-called "middle class."

There are two policy shops running full blast and at least five thousand people are playing policy to-day. The two places are run by Bam Hybarger, excouncilman from the Fourth ward, at No. 15 North Third street, and by Louis Eckerman, at the corner of Thirteenth street and Liberty Avenue. This is probably the most thoroughly demoralizing gambling game now extant in Terre Haute. It is being played by ment women and children. Every day laboring men with their dinner pails on their armB can be seen going in and out of the policy joints. Women, pale and haggard, with careworn anxious faces, can be seen stealthily pacing to and fro near the policy dens awaiting the result, of the drawing. They usually semi small boys to the joints to learn the turn of the wheel and can be seen scaning their cards and sieces of paper upon which the nutnjers they plaved were jotted down, as soon as their youthful advisers return from their errand. In some cases, however, the women aro brazen enough to enter the policy shops and play their numbers as unconcernedly the men, and walk out with an air of assurance alout them that would surprise the unsophisticated.

These facts are given out for the benefit of the new council which is pledged to stop gambling and to adhere to a closer enforcement of the laws. Will they appoint a police board and superintendent of police who will make it their business to see that these vices are suppressed? These evits are more far reaching than is apparent from tlte surface indications and the sooner they are sup pressed the better for the city. As far as known there is bat one keno outtlt in the city and that is now in the custody of the police. It is complete, and is the one which was taken from Joe Greggs' place on South Second street some weeks ago.

THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

The Head* of Department* Decided Upon and Oood Men Choeeu. The adjourned meeting of the Republican members of the new council was held at Mayor Donaldson's office last night for the purpose of fixing upon a slate of officials underthe incomingcoun-

The whole proceedings passed off smoothly and there was no apparent feeling on the part of any member present The name of every candidate for office came before the caucus, and ballots were taken before any of the men were decided upon. The result was as follows: For superintendent of police, Capt R. P. Davis for sergeants, Isaac Trail and Geo. Coach for chief engineer of the fire department, Josia Jones for assistant chief engineer, Walter Bell for superintendent of fire alarm telegraph, RichMcDonald for city attorney, R. B. Slimeon for city engineer, Frank Cooper for street commissioner, A. Nehf for board health, Pre. Jenkins, Glover and McCiain.

These appointments are all considered good and, so bur as known, they give general satisfaction. While they cannot as yet be considered appointments, as the council has not appointed them, the Republicans bavins all but two seats in the council, will make the appointments tonight at a special meeting called by the mayor and the appointments will take effect immediately thereafter. The fire committee will consist of Messrs. Burues. Store and Weldele, aud the police board will be composed of either Messrs. Burnes, Thomas and Hajjgerty, or Roes, Leinbeiger and Hagg? rty, as the mayor shall appoint

The $250 saloon license ordinance win be taken up at the first regular meeting the council and pftased. Hie saloon men will be gi^en about twenty days' notice under provision of the ordinance in order to raae the funds. The council will order the enforcement of the o'clock and Sunday dosing law.

Oaptain Davis, who is to assume the guperintendeficy of police^ Is well known, having been proprietor of the Davis stock yank for a number of years. He is in favor of the etfop&stznt of the law and will make good officer. The two sergeants are both offices* on the department now, and their promotion comes not too soon. They have been valuable men in the service,, Tt*s offices of captain and clerk will be abolished and tfie remainder of the force will remain in the same proportion as at present, half R^rablkmns and half Democrats.

WHAT POLICE DO.

A Detail of Districts ftkows tke Work PiU«lnfe Kave in HIUMI. To those who have boldly demanded an enlargement of the police districts in the city by cutting down the rank and file ct the force, the contemplation of a statement of the districts patrolled by thetnen, may give some food for a little earnest thought It may convince the reasonable cltiaen whose mind is not unbalanced by a hungry desire for office, and who is very sensibly opposed to handing the police department over to rank, rotten partisanship, that a reduction of the number of patrolmen is not only undesirable but would react with palpable force on any council, which should, in a false spirit of economy, bring about such a reduction. The city is divided into six day districts and seventeen night districts. The boundaries of the day districts are as follows:

First—Main su««t north to Chestnut the river east so Fourth street. Stcoad-Main street ucrth (oCheatnut Fourth street east to Kinth.

Third—Ninth street east to the city limits Main street north to the city limits. Fourth—Chestnut street to the city limite the river east to Ninth street.

Fiith—The river east to Seventh street Main street to the city limits. Seventh street east to the city limits and Main street south to the city limits.

The night districts are seventeen in number and the territory is thus divided First—River east to Fourth street Ualu street north to Chestnut.

Second—Fourth street east to Seventh Main street north to Chwanut. Third—Seventh street east to Tenth Main north to Chestnut.

Fourth—Tenth east to city limits Main street north n» Chestnat. Fifth—The river east to Fifth Chestnut north to the city 'limits.

Sixth—«lfth street east to Ninth 1. A St. L. railway north to the city limits. Seventh—Ninth street east to the limits Chestnut north to the limits.

Kightta—Main street south to Swan the river east to Fifth, Niutli—Fifth street east to Seventh Main street south to Swan.

Tenth—Seventh street east to Tenth Main stret'lsoutli to Hwan. Eleventh—'Tenth street east to the limits Main street south to t\p)nr.

Twelfth—Park street south to limits the river east to Hixth. Thirteenth—Swan street south to the limits .Sixth street east to Tenth,

Fourteenth—Poplar street south to the limits Tenth street east to the limits. Fifteenth—Main street, both side«, from the river east to the limits.

Sixteenth—Chestnut street north to the I. & St. 1.. railway Fifth street east to Ninth. Seventeenta~Swau street south to Park river east to Sixth.

The last named district was created a comparatively short time ago and Chas. Thomas, a Republican patrolman, is in charge.

COLONEL THOMPSON'S ADDRESS.

He Speak* on tho Eminent Statoamen of Ike United State*. Colonel R. W. Thompson addressed a large audience at Normal Hall last night, speaking for more than two hours on "The Eminent Statesmen of the United States." The grand old gentlemau was in excellent voice and humor, and through his whole speech ran a vein of merriment that kept the audience in an amiable frame of mind. He began his personal reminiscences of the emi nent statesmen with Jefferson and followed down the line of presidents to Lincoln, relating his recollections of these distinguished gentleman, with whom he bccame inti maldy acquainted during his career as a servant of the people. lie gave many apt illustrations setting forth the characteristics and eccentricities of the great men whose lives he was briefly sketching, and lent diversity to his remarks by many an interesting episode. He did not confine bis remarks exclusively to the presidents but turned his attention now and then as he went along to the contemporaneous intellectual gamts, such as Clay and Webster.

The Gale Piny* Haves A in on a Company's Bnildlngm. It seems that by far the most severe gale passed over tho extreme southern part of the city. Ita path was several blocks wide, but the northern edge of tho young cyclone did not extend further north than the tool works buildings. It came sweeping across the commons between and 10 o'clock, traveling at an alarming velocity and seeming to dip down and up as a swallow in crossing body of water. When it touched the ground everything in its way way was turned wrong sida up or torn to pieces. Fencos, trees and out buildings were lifted from their locations and sent wandering about the commons to alight hither and thither in topsy turvv order.

The wood shed of a man named Thomas, living directly east of the tool works, was borne from its foundation, turned completely wrong side up and smaahod down into a lino bed of Spring onions. After performing this exasperating piece of folly tho fierce gale bounded upward slightly antl set out for the long, narrow handle-warehouse of tho Tool Works Company. It caught this lengthy structure near tho top antl on the north hide. The watchman heard a teriillc rip on onehalf of tho entire roof, 210 feet long and 60 feet wide, was torn from its fastenings and sent crashing into tho field adjacent, The north side of the building at tho same time was absolutely demolished and the thousands upon thousands of handles thus expostd to the fury of tho tempest were twirled and hurled into a mass of tangled wreckage.

This freak|indulged,t.he gale bounded a little higher up, fcwayed to the south and catching the immense skylight over the main forge room about midway forced it from its hold and cast it in the street, amid the terrorising crash of window panes without number. Tho engine room roof was lifted up a considerable distance at the same time but the gale,

BRICKS BLOWN ONTO THEM.

The flabl* End of Hon*# Dashed In* to a Mnn'tt ItHl. As the storm swept across the commons west of the tool works it almost demolished a small brick house, occupied by John Donham, a car works employe, his wife, child and a roomer. The inmates of the doomed building had all retired for the night and Mr. Donham and his wife and child were sleeping in a bed near the west side of the west room. Ere they could realise that a cyclone was upon them the wait gable end of the structure was crushed and the bricks came crashing down onto the occupants of the bed. The father managed to extricate himself from the debris and removed his wife and child. They were taken to tho house of a neighbor where medical attendance waa summoned. They were found to be not seriously injured and will recover in a few days.
