"I am lor the people, first, last

am*

^1"

the time, monopliea afteward."—Orator Storz on the Water works question. Dahai.dsox voted against the people last night. Tho people will vote against him, if be does not change his coarse.

Mayob Daxalusox is bo accustomed to carrying water on both shoulders that he couldn't cast his vote against the Water Works company.

The successor of Samuel H. ITybarger was found voting for the Water Works Company last night. Mr. Hess was not present at the caucus. He and Mayor Danaldaon were uninvited.

Tijb News submits a plain question for answer in the "Voter's Guide," of the Express:

Why did Mr. Mount vote against the repeal of the conspiracy bill?

"I am for tlio people, first, last and all tho time—monopoly afterwards!" ex claimed Orator Storz, of the Sixth. Was it sarcasm directed against the chief executive? Store's platform is right, if he adheres to it.

Councilman IIkss, who was elected on a reform platform, isn't very much of a reformer after all. He was elected because the people had tired of Boss Ilybarger. He was a man in whom there were great expectations, but alas! He has not fulfilled them. Ho is as weak as Sistor Danaldson.

Mayor Danaldson said he believed there should be some deliberation before the water works case was disposed of. Tho council did deliberate on the matter, deliberated lonis and well. Mayor Danaldson was not invited to be present. He was not taken into the confidence oi the councilman who assembled a week ago and canvassed the situation. The contemplated action was to bo taken cjuiefly and the mayor was not let into tho secret His actiou during the fire test was deemed satisfactory evidenco that his presence was not needed.

Thomas Bulloozbu Kkkd appears in a now role. He refuses to sign the river and harbor bill because the Democrats block legislation. The speaker places himself on a par with tho filibusters when he refuses to sign tho bill. Experience should have taught him that with a refractory house ho can not whip them into the line of duty by any such club, He is no better than tho worst obstructionist in the House. Ho was presented with a beautiful offering bearing the word "Business." Does his refusal to sign the river and harbor bill indicate any great degree of business?

Mayou Danamwor's vote last n?ght was in line with the policy of his administration, the chief characteristic of which is absolute weakness. Tho mayor lacks tho essentials of the chief executive of a city. He endeavors to conciliate all classes and findsjfavor with none. Boldness commands at least respect but timidity is deemed unworthy of an official. Tho mayor has juggled city matters until ho has made a pretty mwes of them. He is now excluded from the councils of his party on groat public questions. That he should vote as he did last night is not to bo wondered at He had not the courage to vote in accordance with the sentiment of the people. The contract with the company should have been repealed. It haf wilfully and persistently violated its agreement in the past. It would have been proper for the coaucil to have annulled th© contract and then have met tho Water Works company in an endeavor to formulate a new contract It is absolutely fruitless to attempt to excuse tl»e company in the past. It has bled the city and ita patrons*. Under the present condition of alHairs all it can offer to atone for the past and guarantee for the future are pledgee. Pledges of a public character don't amount to much. A company that has violated its contract cannot be expected to faithfully keep its guarantee of better service in tho future. What is demanded is a repeal of the old contract a.ad the formation of a new one. To (simplify matters it was proposed to annul the present agreement, but the dt»~ tingu&hed mayor voted in favor of giving.the water works monopoly a new lease on life.

Among th* fir* IjmMIo*. It can be made a very costly and troublesome affair to house movers who cause a breakage or other damage to the fire alarm wirvs. The recent trouble at the corner of Fourteenth and Crawford was occasioned by just thfes kind of work on the part of a man who, in moving a house, tore down the cross arm from a fire alarm pole, dropped the wire in the worst kind of across around an etectrio light wire, and then left it in that condition without reporting it, even at the Six's ?ngine house, a block away. Hie mmit might have been the burning out of a 9430 repeater at headquarter* and every fire alarm box connected in any way with the damaged wire* It la prob*

able when the afore mentioned honae mover reads the* letter addressed to him from headquarters to-day he will conclude that tire alarm wires are very^ good things to leave unmolested at all events it is safe to predict that he will ke*P eye peeled for wires of the Are alarm circuits in future.

Some little work of needed improvement is going on at heftl«iuarte^. New floors are being placed in t«e stalls, the game made of 2x4 scantling on edge, very closely set. Nothing however is being done which is not absolutely essential to the? proj«?r condition of the city's property.

There is a crying need for doing away with the old style interferring fire alarm boxes and it should be done as rapidly as possible. Terre Haute has yet to experience the horror of a big fire attended by h»avy property losses and the nwfulnesa of a greater or less number of human lives sacrificed, but there are locations in this city where just that kind of afire may occur and all the attending circumstances be vastly aggravated by an un avoidable confusion of alarms resulting from the use of these old boxes that belong to a period long since covered with the musty mould of old age. Out with the old in with the new," should be the watchwonl of the present energetic committee and department heads.

Will some of the boys who make it a point each day, or at least each week, to write along letter to their sweetheartlet a friend give them a few kind hints in regard to the same.

No doubt you think of your friend and sweetheart often while in your office or the store, as the case may be, and you arc very apt, if you chance to havo an idle moment, to take up a great sheet of paper with the business head in great letters, and proceed thereon your thoughts for the future perusal of the little maiden in her quiet home. Before you are through with your lptter you have probably filled five or six of tliese siine sheets with that flowing hand of you'e and you send this in a nccssnriy largeenyelope»very likely it is colored, to^, and has the company's or firm's name on it- how

of it

course, you haven't thought of it, but let me tell you how somo girls feel about such rasters. If you could take time when in the privacy

your own com

Not that she doesn't take any interest in your business affairs and not but that she would be gM to get your letter in any fihapc or form, but tfe iutr ter written on that pure clean sheet will, seem so much more

coxy

and sociable

and make her feel liko you were sitting by her side engaged in friendly chatter it will give her a home-like fueling, while on tlio contrary when she receives the other she thinks of your place you work and of your employers almost before she thinks of you and remembers to give your letter its proper wejeome.

That Croquet t'liaHenje. A short timo ago our attention was called to a challenge which appeared in a recent issue of Tiie Nkws, coming from some croquet players styling themselves tho Congress Corner Team, desiring especially, among other things, to give the gentlemen on South Seventh street a few lessons in playing the game

Wo have no doubt but that the statement was made for the special benefit of the Vrydagh Team, and it both surprised and amused us, because we had never, until very recently, heard of the existence of the 0. 0. Tenia, and havo not yet heard that any of its members ever established a reputation or record as eKpert players.

A representative of out team had the opportunity, a day or two ago, of witnessing a few games played by some of the members of this other club, and it verified our suspicions as to the ability of the players.

Now, for the benefit of our rivals, we will state that there are at present several old gentlemen, ranging from 00 to SO years of age, who even years ago played a verv good game, tied they do not seem to havo lofct any of their skill with advancing age.

What wo mean is this: If tho North End Olub will discard tho school girl's method of playing the'game, and play in accordance with the rulos jyioptexl by all plavera of ability, equip themselves with good mallets, balls and wickets, put their grounds in good condition and then induce the above mentioned old gentlemen who can bo found at their Rrounds on the corner of Seventh and Ohio streets) to teach them the rudiments of a scientific game of croquet, we might thjnk of accepting their challenge, otherwise we have neither the timo nor the inclination to give the matter any further thought.

In regard to playing for money, marbles, etc., wo Hiv that, even were we not opposed to gam 1)1 iUK in its various forms, we would not feel disposed to hike away their money or marbles.

If tlio 0. V. Team think that wc speak boastingly, wo extend to them an invitation to visit our grounds and witness a few games, and assure them that they will be well received and treated with hospitality by Vby»a«!ii Bros.

The increase in railway jnileage in this country during the first six months of tho year was 1,863 miles. This is accounted highly creditable. More miles of railroad have been constructed in the southern states than in any other section of the country. The northwestern states and territories, where construction went on rapidly for a while, have nearly stopped building. Massachusetts laid but a mile and a half of new road. Maina gbont ten miles. The other New England staff# stood still. California gained one mile.—Ciiwwgi} News.

A SPECTREHELMSMAN.

In thp summer of 1880 th© ship Vulcan, under the command of Capt, Isaac Johnson, was on her homeward bonnd passage from the Indies with half a cargo of tea, and she stopped at Cape Negro, on the coast of Benguela. after a lot of ivory to make up her load. Having gono on shore at the Cape the captaiij loarpe*} from the patiy£) contractor that ho would havo to go some fifteen miles up the Cannibal's river, as the elephant hunters had all tho boats further up in the country, so that consequently they had not been enable^ to bring tho ivory down.

Capt. Johnson was somewhat disappointed at this cause for delay, but without waiting tp find psejgsg fault ho determined to man his own boats and proceed at once up the river. It required four trips to bring all tho ivory down, but as they had opportunity to take aciytintngo pf the slight tides the task was accomplished in four days. On the last trip the captain went himself, leaving tho first mate in charge of the ship, and on arriving at the small village where tho ivory was Btored ho was not a little surprised tq find that nearly all the miserable huts vere deserted. Several times Capt. Johnson inquired the meaning of this, out the natives were either unable or unwilling to give any plain

aiisyeyt

apd it was not until the last lot

of tusks had been ponyeyed to tho boats find the natives had'been remunerated for theiy Jabpr £hat the least clew could be obtained as to tho cause pf this strange desertion, and then for the first time the captain revived the ptfirtling intelligence that tho cholera was sweeping down tho river!

As soon as this fact became known to the seamen they wildly huddled into their boats, as fhough he fearful death angel was at their lieeis, and silently, yet with powerful Btrokes, they pulled down the ratal stream. At length they reached their ship, and though they breathed somewhat more freely as they trod their own deck, yet each countenanop ]ore the stamp of deep fear. The ivory was soon got

board, and with

all haste the old Vulcan was got under way. If: y?w Pearly night when the ship got off, and with a goo4 freeze from the northward and eastward she stood well on her course. On the next morning, shortly after breakfast, and yhile tho crew had begun to think that they had no (occasion for further fear, a young man name4 Walter Addison was taken suddenly sick.

Young AddisQn wa§. the favorite both of tho officers and the crew, and as it was reported that ho was thus ill a general consternation seized upon all hands. The young man felt at first a giddiness and a sickly chill, and in the course of two hours he sank into an alarming debility, the cionntenanqo $s§uming a deadly paleness and his skin bearing all tho appearance of a corpse. Poor Addison suffered till noon, and then the startling announcement went through tho ship that hew is dead.

This was the first, but who should be file pest? A panic had seised upon the men iljo phplcra wa§ with them, and none dared remove the form of their dead shipmate from his berth. Night approached, and with it came an almost dead calm, but the corpse still remained in the forcastle, nor did the men dare to go thither. The captain urged that tho longer presence pf the bpdy would breed more dangerous contagion, but the only answer ho received was a mournful slmke of tlio Iliads about- him.

At length, finding that all arguments were useless, he turned to his mate and asked him if he would assist himself in throwing the body of the dead man ovei board. Tho mate at first hesitated, but hi a moment he signified his consent, and together higjself and the captain went down into the'forecastle. They dared not remain long enough with the corpse to sew it up, nor even to attach to it a sinking weight, but throwing over it a ijinglo blanket, they managed to get it upon de$$ jtnd lay it across the bulwark of tha i*»W. 4 lament Capt. Johnson hesitated—he opened his Hps, breathed a prayer for the soul of the departed, and then, while a shudder ran over his frame, he let the cold form (it rating Walter Addison slide into the blue water! InstinoMyely he opt his ©yes over the sido the deed was done, and by the pale phosphorescent light could |ust see the corps© sink, then rise and sink again, and then with a heavy step and a ftill heavier heart he walked aft:

The first watch had be«& set, but the other watch dared not go below, and themselves beneath the long eptigM the repose which they feared to sac# wkm WP* had died but each seemed to |w»r his neighbor, for none knew where the contagion might b& At 11 o'clock the slight brmthings of the air, which K*sned for the last few hoars to have had no settled point, began to gather more force from the aorthward jutd westward, and ere long a good fresh tm?e*G filled the ship's canvas and started her through the water, The wind continued to increase, and before midnight all hands were called to take in the topgillantnih.

TERRB HAUTB DAILY NEWS, AY, SEPTEMBER 17.1890.

Itwa» half pf wtfe tS o'clock. An old seaman named 31H Shippen, had the hchn, while the» letiJainder of tlio watch were either in be gangway or else forward. The win 4 continued fresh, but yet steady, and the old ship was close hauled upon it, flying some two points off from her tru conrae. The ship's bell was suspended over the binnacle, and old Shippen reached over and struck the first half hour after midnight He had just resumed his position, and was gazing intently »t 6ne compass, when he felt a hand laid upon his shoulder, and on turning around be beheld by the struggling beams of the binnacle lamp the pale, deathly features of Walter AddisonS

For an instant the old sailor remained rooted to tho spot, and then, uttering a sharp cry of fear, he let go the wheel and darted forward* In a moment the ship began to fall off, and as sbo brought the fiat surface of broad canvas to tho wind she heeled over alarmingly but soon the pale specter that had frightened tho helmsman from his post canght the wheel, and laid tho helm hard down, and ere long the ship was once moro to the windv^^?^ iy,

Shippeu's cry had started all hands from their liatlessness, for they thought tlio cholera fiend had assailed him, but from liis broken ejaculations thoy Boon learned what was th© matter, and in a body they crowded aft, and by the dim light from the binnacle they saw the specter helmsman! Every knee trembled, and every tongue clove to the roof of it§ mouth. None dared to approach him, nor did any buck, At this juncture the captain «u»e on deck. His eye caught the corpse like form that still held tho wheel, and he, too, was riveted to the spot where he stood. "Shipmate^ yolieve me from here, or I *imll fttint. I am cold and weak!" at length came from the lips of the seeming specter, in faint, agonised

Capt. Johpspn hesitated an instant, and then lie rushed forward and laid his hand upon the trembling form before him. It was cold and wet, but he knew that it wa3 a living man. One after a$t other of the men gathered about, and before }oi)g all knew' that young Walter Addison still lived. The captain had him conveyed to tho cabin, where everything that could be thought of was administered for his comfort. it was not Jbng jjsfora he* sufficiently revived to givje an account of liis strange escape from tho cold, deep grave to which he had been consigned

It seemed that young Addison had fallen into that deathlike lethargy whichj not infrequently resultg from p\iddeq cholera, and which, as all who are act quainted with the disease must be aware, so nearly resembles death thnt pyei) the best physicians JwYQ been doceiye4 by it. Tho sudden immersion in the colQ water had revived Ms dormant senses, and as the ship had but a feliglit motion at the time ho came to a partial realization of liis situation before she had passed him, and by considerable exertion lie managed to get hold pf the £.ud: der chains. Ho* inea to call for assistance, but his tongue was so swollen thftt he found it impossible, and after remaining lipon the chains long enough to regain moro strength he worked his way up till he got hold of the lanyards of the cabin dead lights.

Prom {hence he reached the lashings pf tho stern boat, tut here weakness agaiq overpowered him, and aitep yoking way into the boat he remained some time insensible, but at length he revived and came on board. He had tried to speak, but he could not. When the helmsman fled from the wheel he had sense enough to see tho ship's danger, and from the impulse of a soft pf instinct he seized the wheel and brought her up to the wind,

Tho morning dawned, and the nest day passed, then another, and another, but the death fiend came not again! He had lost his first intended victim and he left the ship in peace.—Sylvanus Cobb, Jr., in Yankee Blade.

Parmer Crane, who lives over on the town line, has some very unique methods of examining the men who apply to him |rom timo to time for work.

One evening a tall, big boned fellow, in his shirt sleeves, asked Crane if he had any work to do. "1 don't know/' said the farmer. "Can you tend horsea/" "Yes, indeed}', fvo worked about horses all my life." "Come around here to the pump," said Crane, and he led the way to a common sucker rod pump near the barn. Going inside he got a Ring, narrow pitcher,'ana placed it unfler the spout. "There/ said he, "pump that pitcher full of water." The big boned fellow complied, carefully pumping the pitcher full without* spilling a single drop.

That'll, do," Slid Crane. "Go inside and get ready for supper I'll give you a job in the morning.'"

About a week later th© big hoped fellow asked Orane what puinping the pitcher full of water had to do with his getting a job. "Well, IH just tell you. This is mighty dry weather, and water is getting scarce. You must have thought that far, for you didn't spill any water. If you hadn't pumped hard the water would have been spilled, and if you had pumped too hard the water would have gone over the pitcher. Now, the way I argue is this: If a, fellow don't pump h^ /«ioa^ ha ^on't enough, if he pomps too pud hell work too hard for a little whije, and I don't want citW kind to work for me. You pumped exactly right, and you got a job.'*—Toledo Blade.

Tou see there were only «ix of us, and. we did not want to lose any more men t'aan possible. We determined to send the case to the tipper camp, five miles away, but the problem, which worried us most was who should go aloug as nurse. 'Bob,' the cook, was & hard drinker, and as soon as he heard of the case he proceeded to drown his cares, in whisky. He was terribly frightened at first, but the more he drank the mor,e resigned he became to circumstances. "When Bob was dri»Jang he could beat any man in Colorado a & boasting and before long he began to declare that smallpox had no terrors for him. In fact he had nursed nineteen patents at one time when every one else had deserted them. He had brought them sriely through, too. In the end he gravely asserted that he couldn't catch the smallpox anyway, for he had already had it. ''Five of the boys looked at me signiflcantly, and I nodded my head. We bundled the sick man up carefully and put him in a wagon. Two hours later we had established a hospital at the upper camp, with the cook as chief surgeon, physician and nnrae. The cook, by tho way, was sleeping as peacefully as a child when we left the hospital. "The next morning we heard wild shouts and saw Bob tearing for the lower camp, half dressed. We immediately established a shotgun quarantine. 'Hold up, Bob,' one of tho boys shouted, 'this oump is quarantined. You can't come paat the whistling post' 'But, say,.' pleaded the frightened cook, 'that man has the smallpox.' 'Well, you volunteered to nurse him.' 'I*' he screamed incredulously. 'Remember those nineteen patients you nursed,' 'What nineteen patients?' 'And then, you know, you had it your•elf,' 'I never saw a case before,' he howled. 'Can't help it. You've started on it now and must keep it up,' "We chased him back from the post, and left some whisky and provisions for him PU the ground. We told him to come down every evening at sundown for anew supply, and we never let him come near the camp. "He used regularly to come down and beg to bo allowed to come into camp, but the shotgun policy was strictly maintained. Then he would take up his whisky and provisions and shout out to us that he would have every one of us hanged for deliberate murder. ^I)id lie catch the smallpox?

According to The Providenpe Journal. Jrjteresfing a$4 gratifying disclosure Of the census is that of the revival of the old whaling towns. The whale fishery centers, where once the coming and going of busy ships gave a lively air of industry to the wharves and streets, felt the decadence of this fishery as an almost fatal blow, and in the decades inir mediately et^cpeeding the fifties remained sorrowful monuments to a great indus* try's decay. Now, however, they seem to be recovering their old time energy, and it is not unlikely that an inheritance of the same enterprise wliich characterised them in the past will anoa mora push tljera steadily forward. 'JSfew* Bedford*, formerly the greatest whaling port PH the whole coast, now beasts a population pf 4J,044, again of moro than 50 per cent, since 1880, and New London, the second port in importanoe, has gained some 30 per oent. or more in the same time.

One of the most dangerous and unpleasant evidences of the existence of hereditary scrofula is glandular swellings and painful ulcers which accompany it and render life a burden to the suffArar and to those about him. Sore eyes, scabs &n the head, pimples on the face, salt rheum« and the like, are all caused by impure blood. There is but one way to banish these offensive symptoms, and that is by the use of tried and trusted remedies to strike at the root of the trouble.
