Jonss L. Stu.LfVAN has written a story. No loubfc he has handled his subject without gloves.

Osr namo has certainly been missed from the Chicago census enumeration, that of Willie Tascott.

If the city hal had a Commercial Club the result of the census enumeration might have been much more gratifying.

Tiimk was a sort of dual sovereignty at police lioard meeting last night, the King resolution and the charges against Officer King.

Whkm Terre Haute's census report is announced it will then be proper to say "Terre tlut." The controversy over the pronunciation of the word has been settled at last.

The Express this morning makes the remarkable statement: "Whatpromise of economy is there in the candidacy of Dave Taylor in the expense of the Superior court?" The Express is away behind the times. Perhaps it has not heard from the county convention over a week ago when Dave Tnylor was nominated for Circuit judge.

Tub unveiling of the Hendricks monument at Indianapolis to-day is a fitting tribute to the memory of the illustrious dead. Ex-Vice l'residerft Hendricks was a distinguished Indianian and as such the state to-day honors his name. He possessed many of the elements of greatness and his momory will long be chorished in the state which he honored.

The King resolution was not acted on by the jolico board at its meeting last night, but it wns respectfully referred back to the council. The council refused to take the responsibility of acting upon it npon its first presentation. The police board would not permit its shoulder to carry the load and sent the resolution back to the chamber from which it came. Now, gentlemen, what are you going to do about it?

Tft8 resolution passed by the Republi. i-an convention last Saturday regarding the reduction of salaries of county otlicers is an effort to steal the thunder of tin1 Independents. The Independents at their'recent meeting called for a reduction of county expense^ and the Republican county convention got over on its platform. In case of Republican success the party will be called on to make good its pledges of a reduction of salaries.

Titk Express, in speaking of the nomination of Ray for auditor referred to his jraco for township trustee of Riley where he was elected by a handsome majority. This is true lie defeated a strong man in a slightly Pomoeratk township. But partisanship drew the line at two yearn ago. The Express did not dare say that last Spring this same Mr. Bay was beaten aiwMit feiity votes for re-election as trustee. Such a statement would carry with it the insinuation that his official duties had not please* 1 the people and they had voted Win out of office.

If Officer King Is guilty of going to leep on doty Sunday night there is one extenuating circumstance. He knew that at 2 o'clock the next afternoon he would be called upon to go to Col lett park and drill for an hour or more, simply because Captain Davis has ,n notion that police-

men should be able to go through military maneuvres. Nonsense! The idea that drilling night men three successive af temoons will increase the efficiency of the fore© te the result of miserable judgment. No more ol such nonsense is waited. l«et the police board call a halt. vtJsCii Afrim persistent howling the office of police clerk has been abolished, bat the head it was intended to decapitate re* mains on the same shouldere.

He was then created patrolman, The fact is, the -J Republican police boaixl did a wise tiling in the retention of Dwyer, Democrat He is an old officer, poasraeea tive best knowK «djje of police affairs, and k, perhaps, the moat thoroughly competent man in the department.

demonstrated by the report of our population that there have been numerous omissions. Ten years ago, when special enumerators were detailed to ascertain the names of thoee who had not been censoed, the result was that hundreds of new names were added to the list, saying nothing of the gigantic work of stuffing. A recanvass resulted in swelling the census beyond the 25,000 mark, bat to make assurance doubly sm« several thousand more fraudulent names were appended to the list A re-canvass should have been made this year. The census will show Terre Haute's population to be about 33,000. It will be next to impossible to convince the people of Terre Hante that there are not more than 33,000 inhabitants of the city.

HERE AND THERE.

An old gentleman whose gray hairs protect him against bodily violence tells a story the substance of which is like this: A man named Brady and a man named Ilill were at a dance, way back in the fifties. Brady was a total abstinence man and Hill considered himself quite a wit. He approached the former with the following poetical gem: "Between Brady and brandy there is but a letter if you would drink

brandy

you'd feel all

the letter." Quick as wink the following fell from Brady's lips: "Between Hill and hell there is but a letter if you were in hell we'd feel all the better.

In Squire McCarthy's court at onetime a man was on trial for .the alleged theft of an overcoat. He pleaded not guilty when arraigned. The evidence for the prosecution was all in when the justice called on the defendant: "What is your defense?"

The prisoner arose with an air of great gravity and deliberation and replied: "To find a thing is not to steal it I be lieve. Am I right, your honor?" "I believe you are, sir." "Exactly. My defense, then, is, briefly expressed, is this: I found the coat—that I found it before it was lost can certainly make no difference in this case."

One day last week two of the reporters on The News staff went down to the river to bathe near the Yandalia bridge Upon arrival at the river The News men noticed two little street gamins lying on the bridge in the shade trying to keep cool. As soon as they saw The News men go into the water they immediately came down off the bridge and jumping onto the boom, one of them began to strip off, although the reporters had on battling suits. The other little fellow jumped onto the lloat and casting a longing eye at the water fell over into it with out stopping to take off his clothes, Lighting in the water he sank for a mo ment and then came up and swam leis urely to the float again. He said noth ing of what he had done and acted as though it were a common thing with him. After paddling around for a time he got out and walked up the bank to the bridge where he laid down again in the shade to cool off once more.

A certain mother and daughter in this city look very much alike—so much alike, in fact, that close scrutiny is required to tell one from the other. The (laughter has a suitor in the person of a young dry goods clerk. lie is a new mash however, and has not yet become sufficiently familiar with his sweetheart and with her mother to distinguish the one from the other under unfavorable circumstances. He called one evening after dark and his girl was out on the front porch fanning herself. He called another evening after dark to find graceful figure at exactly the same place, lie sat down near her and chatted—chat ted in that soft musical tone of voice that harmed suitors use when speaking to the one they wish to win. Finally he proposed a visit to the ice cream saloon. They went. Under the brilliant glare of the electric lights the clerk discovered that he was with his divinity's mother,

Knew III* Business.

A small fishing schooner was crawling along the shores of Puget Sound, driven by alight breeze, one day recently. She was an old fashioned craft, manned by ttvo men, a captain and mate. The mato, who was stationed on the bow of the vea sel, suddenly espied a tiderip ahead, and thinking it was evidence of a sunken reef hastened toward the stern of the vessel. "Cnpt. Blank, there is a reef dead ahead!" reported the mate. 'Humphl" replied the captain, without changing the course of the vessel.

The mate went forward and watched the tiderip uneasily for some time. Finally he again went aft. "Captain," said he, "we are getting dan gorottsly close to that reef." "Mr. Mate," growled the captain, sav agely, "you take care of your end of the vessel and I will take care of mtae."

The mate said nothing now, but going forward he seixed the anchor and threw it overboard. Itcaugbton bottom and the vessel swung around, bow to the wind with everything shaking. "Captain," said the mate/as he* again went Aft, "I have to report that my end ol the vessel is at anchor.Seattle l*reaa.

SHE RUNS H. BIG STABLE BETTER THAN MOST MEN COULD.

The Only WOMSA la the BOTImw in Knr Vork City—Sl*e Drives Sharp Bargains, trait Sh* Holds He# Trade—How She jffari»ge» and How She LItm.

A wide awake, energetic woman keeps a livery stable at No. 105 West Forty-ninth street. Her name is Annie Childs, acid she is fair, plump and not yet 40. Mrs. Childs has a clear, ruddy complexion, an elastic step and an easy, conversational style that tells its own story of genteel associations and intelligent observation.

This courteous and thoroughly efficient business woman is known from one end of the livery trade to the other. "You'll not find a man in a livery establishment in New York who knows the business better than Mrs. Childs," aprominent liveryman said to reporter. "Oh, yes, she's got a husband, but it's Mrs. Childs who is known to the trade. She is in full charge of the stable, and when I say that I mean that she's the boss. I'd trust her with any branch of the business in preference to most men. The fact is she's *up to snuff and no mistake. If yon don't believe it go and see for yourself."

The reporter did go and see for himself. It was early in the forenoon, and business was quiet, therefore Mrs. Childs was upstairs in her comfortable homelike apartments, making her baby a frock. The visitor was ushered into a bright little office, the distinguishing feature of which was its extreme cleanliness. The walls were lined with pictures of famous horses. There was an oval-mirror over the marble basin and on the mantel a vase of flowers.

HOW SITE STARTED.

Mrs. Childs, who was called through a tube, made her appearance in the space of exactly one minute by the reporter's watch. She came down smiling, and was a goodly sight to'see in her trim black jersey and bright, silky looking gray poplin skirt. Her collar was fresh from the iron, her hair tidily done and her finger nails neatly manicured.

She sat down quickly, and opened the conversation quite as gracefully as many ladies do in their own drawing rooms. "So you think it odd to see a woman in the livery business, do you?" she said laughingly. "Well, I have never thought of it in that light, but perhaps that is because I have never had time to think much about it. It has taken pretty much all my time to get through with the actual business of it for the last sixteen years. I am English, was born and reared at Edmonton, near London, and grew up with horses for my playfellows, as so many English girls ao. I have never seen a horse yet that I was afraid of, and I am called a good horsewoman. My father-in-law was a crack horseman and so are all his sons, including my husband, so you see I have always been surrounded by horses. "When wo came to America my husband wanted to Qpen a boarding stable, but he had other business to attend to and could not give his personal attention to it. He never thought of my going into the business, but I saw that he needed mo and I Immediately announced my intention of carrying it on myself. We opened a stable in Eighteenth street, between Sixth and Seventh avenues, and there I conducted it on a small scale, keeping my office in the sitting room. My business gradually kept growing larger until the Mttle writing desk which served me in the sitting room would do no longer, and I moved down stairs aud went into business professionally. From that time on I have conducted every detail of the business without help, save that of the ordinary hands employed about livery stables, and can sdy without egotism that I have made it a success. I take orders, see that they are properly filled, attend personally to getting them out, receive customers, keep books, buy all the carriages, harness and occasionally horses.

HER PERSONAL SUPERVISION. "Another branch of the business consists in selling vehicles for my customers who are abroad—in fact, I attend to everything in connection with the business, and have never yet been cheated in a single instance. I find that horsemen treat me with the greatest respect, never indulging in coarse language in my presence. I assure you I couldn't bo treated better if I were dear old Queen Vic herself. Then, too, I don't think they would try to take advantage of me as they* do of a man. The men Ideal with always seem inclined to favor me, and I assure you I drivo very sharp bargains. I know by actual experience that am a more economical buyer than my husband, and, for that matter, I think women always look sharper to the pennies than men. The men in my, employ obey me implicitly. I never have any trouble with them, but I keep a sharp lookout that they do their duty. 1 attend to every order that leaves the stable in the course of the year, arid in order to do it am often obliged to stay up until 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning.

I think the absence of tobacco smoke and dirt from my office has been a drawing card for. my stable. It's rather pleasant, even for a man, don't you know, to sit down and give his order in a clean, quiet spot. I receive all complaints, for they are sure to come sometimes, no matter bow careful you are, and when 1 have a breathing space I go out and collect bills. Collecting requires tact and patience, but-I have never had any trouble with it. My most fastidious customers are of course ladies, but 1 usually, succeed even in pi Ing them. After having done right by them onee they are almost sure to come hack again, and in this "way I often keep their custom from year to year. "And how about your home life, Mrs. Childs?" "Ohi it goes on beautifully. Yon don't think I'd sacrifice that to my business, do you? No, indeed. I have three little children and my hnsband to provide comforts for, and I never neglect them. In the first place, I have excellent health, aud can cram a great many duties into a day. I keep a capable servant, give my orders in the mornings, and see that everything is set going before I go to the office. When I want anything particularly nice to eat I manage to prepare it before busi*«88 hours. I do all the sewing for my children, too. We rent a farm at Westchester, and in the summer time we lire there, driving in and out early in the mornings and necessarily very late at night.— New York Press.

WOMEN POST OFFICE CLERKS.

A Few of the Troubles "Which They En counter in the English Service. In London women have proved themselves the equals of male clerks both as regards the amount of work they can do and the-ability with which it is done. In the postoffice savings "bank at the present time the women on the top floor of 144A Queen Victoria street are doing exactly the same work as the men below, and they are doiDg it with fewer mistakes. All along the line of women workers the greatest progress has been reported except in .this ono question of civility and attention to business, which affects only the class of postoffice workers who stand behind the counter, Every one knows that there is a good deal to put up with. Men are not nowadays all thajt they should be, even where women are concerned, and occasionally the postoffice girls are obliged to take impudent remarks as well as money in exchange for stamps. Somaof them resent being told that they are pretty, and visit their resentment upon unoffending customers, while others again object to an exactly opposite treatment, and are wrathful with men who do not and women who cannot flirt with them.

Then, again, we are told by an offlcinl high In the service of the postoffice that the girls who are uncivil ore answerable for it, not so much to the head office as to the manager in charge of the branch department. He, unfortunately, is in most cases a man, and is often unable to look after the clerks In his charge as sharply as he should. This difficulty could be at once and easily overcome by having women to supervise women. Two or three years ago it was no uncommon circumstance for a woman not to conio to the postoffice the day after she had made some mistake. She would weepingly protest that she was not responsible, but if the postoffice authorities thought she was, perhaps she*had bettor go without her salary. Very little is ird Of that sort of thing now. The women are improving, and the tendency is to rush off into an exactly opposite extreme. Girls call attention to any breach of tho rules made in their disfavor before they have been three days in the office, and assert their rights with a'pertinacity which, if maintained on behalf of the women's suffrage movement, would speedily put them into power.

Our-representative, who was instructed to Interview the girls and women employe^ in the postoffices, learned that they were fully aware of their shortcomings. "Four out Of five'' was One young lady's estimate of the number who deserved the scolding which they had received. Others emphatically and rightly protested against all postoffice women being, as they put it, tarred with the same brush. One young lady tossed her head and saii poutingly: "It's the way tho public treat us. They seem to think we're their servants" (1), a sentiment which was approvingly echoed by her colleagues who stood behind her.—Women's Penny Paper.

A Woman Who Can Climb a Pole. The superintendent of telephone system of Evanston is Miss Belle Curry. Her duties are manifold, for the telephone is generally used here, and the connections with Chicago are so frequent that Evanston is an important station. It devolve upon Miss Curry to make all contracts to superintend the construction of lines to hear all complaints and pass upon them. It is said of her that there is nothing in the manifold duties of hef position-which she cannot do. Ponding her appointment this claim was made for her. The appointr ing power asked if she could climb a pole.

It was not Intended, of course, that this should be repeated to her, but it was, and instead of taking umbrage at it she sent word to the appointing power that she could do that very thing if it became necessary.—Chicago Tribune.

The bedstead Is of rosewood and the canopy used to be lined with an enormous plate glass mirror, so that the sleeper could see her toco and figure as long as she kept awake, but this vulgar thing has been removed ami is now replaced by the more conventional panel mfold rose satin.—Chatter.

CLOTHING FOR INFANTS.!

"t^Swizr

WHAT ORDER

BABIES TO

SHOULD WEAR IN BE COMFORTABLE?

Fine Flannel Should Be Worn During tho First Few Months Then Fin® Knit .Wool Should Constitute the Apparel.

Short Dresses on a Child.

"The fashions change in infants' clothing,1* said the woman in charge of the children's department at the Lilliputian Bazar. "But it is mqst important, of course, that their clothing shall be of a style to make them happy and comfortable style and comfort should be united above all tilings in the case of infanta." "Will you give me some ideas of how a child should be dressed until it is at least a year oldf' was asked. "Begin with the first thing needed—that is, a fine flannel baud, which should, in three or four months, be replaced by ono knit of Saxony wooL These bauds are knit like the top of an enormous stocking. They should be large enough to slip over the child, but should, when unstretched, cling closely to the body, and then they will give what little support is needed to the abdomen. These knitted bands should be worn both winter and summer, and are quite a -preventive against the bowel troubles so prevalent among young children. Many mothers keep them on their children until they are 3 or 4 years old. "And it's a good, sensible idea to put woolen shirts on infants, and it's becoming so common now that the poor little frozen baby of a few years ago is fast going out of fashion. The home made knitted ones are always pretty, but the machine made Saxony, or cashmere, are nice for mothers who can't get the time to knit. Then there is the flannel, which is also nowadays considered a necessity for the poorest baby." "What kind of flannel should be used— must it always be of the finest texture?" "It ueed'not be extremely fine necessarily, but it must be soft and pleasant to the touch —in fact, only such as is made from the finer quality of wool should come in contact with tho baby's sensitive skin, but it ueed not be of tho expensive sort." "Do you know a good way to wash' flannels and knit goods?" "They should be washed in warm water, into which a tablespoouful of ammonia has been thrown. If soap is used it should be white and dissolved in the water. In case of spots a little soap and a few drops of ammonia may lie rubbed on the fabric. It should be "remembered though that much rubbing tends to harden the goods. Souse the garments up aud down in the water, squeezing and rubbing them gently with the hands then when they are clean rinse them in clear water of tho same temperature as that in which they are washed. Bo sure and rinse out all the suds, then pass them through clean water a third time, this also to bo of the same degree of heat as tho other two—if a blue tone is desired add to this last water a few drops of bluing." "For an infant's first dresses ordinary little slips of ^fino English nainsook are more suitable. These are very simply made, and are only trimmed with fii^edgings. Six are suf licient, of course. Moro nro sometimes con venient, but that will do. After a few weeks oven the most sensiblo mother is anxious about the baby's appearance. So tho little slip which lias thus far formed the child's only outer garment is worn only at night or iu tho early morning, and a little dress takes its place. This is nowadays generally made of fine English goods at least that is tho fashion, though other materials are used. The tiny little yokes and sleeves are composed of hair tucks and feather stitching, while the whole is edged with the daintiest embroideries. But mothers who am not able to afford these more expensive dresses need not feel badly, as the very simple dresses are now made so prettily that an infant may bo considered 'well dressed' with but little outlay."

Here were shown two dresses representing the two extremes of fashion, one being a fine nainsook with a small yoke of tucks and feather stitching^finished with Valenciennes lace this was also at the neck, and the whole skirt was nearly composed of the same lace. The other, though but a simple cambric, was charming. The skirt was perfectly plain, but tho waist had three box plaits, with lace at the neck, while a cambric sash came from the back and was tied in a bow in front. These dresses were both long, to be worn by the baby until it was four or six months old, when it puts on "short dresses." "It is well," continued madame, "that child Should not put on its short dresses too soon, though circumstances or the weather must rule here. The exposures a child is subjected to and many other conditions must be taken into consideration."—New York News.

,A Mourning Woman.

The woman who puts you into mourning is making herself indispensable. She has long existed in England, but we havo only just imported her. A bereaved family sends her a telegram. She appears, take your measures and those of the children. She procures the stuff for tho mourning frocks and ton nets and sees to it that they are instantly made. More leisurely she chooses the mourning handkerchiefs and not© paper,, and, if you carry it far, tho underwear. She tones down to proper decorum tho decorations of tho drawing room. Sho adds everywhere the shadows that go to a proper mourning trousseau. By and by her occupation may vanish, like Othello's, for by and by black may cease to be worn by intelligent women. —Cor. Pittsburg Leader.

Mrs. Ella Deite Clymer, the president of Sorosis, is a firm believer in women's clubs. Bbe says: "I would advise every working girl to belong to a workingwomen's anion. Women have been too much alone they have lost confideneo in themselves and are timid. Where women enter professions I would advocate their belonging to clubs, for social intercourse, sympathy and appreciation are necessary to women."
