How She Looked and What She Said.
Marriage and Divorce.
Let only negro minstrels visit Terre Haute, no other kind of talent is appreciated here.
MJSA LILLIAN EDGARTON,
with a world-wide fame for talent and oratorical ability, failed to draw more than one hundred people to the Opera House, laat night. The few listeners might have been appreciative sympathetic they were not, though this, possibly, could be accounted for by the fact that the lecturer did not make her appearance until nearly 9 o'clock. Audiences have some rights which even lady lecturers are bound to respect, and perhaps that fact was not entirely forgotten by the cultured few who had hoped to hear something about the other side of the woman suffrage question. To the lateness of the hour add a change in tbe programme, and you have cause enough to try the patience of any audience. ias Edgarton was greeted with a round of not over enthusiastic applause. Mr. C. E. llosford explained that the manuscript of the anti8ufferage lecture had been accidentaly left utBloomiogton, and it would be necessary to change the programme. Miss Edgarton then
STKPPKD TO THE l'RONT.
She is a woman of tall, commanding, and striking figure. As a mere beauty
she
baa been much overrated,
but one mu9t look at her several times to discover this fact. She lias light brown hair, which on this occasion was done up in the high plaits now BO much in vogue blue eyes, beaming with intellect and amiability a fair complexion with rosy
cheeks
beautiful pearly teeth,
and in general rather regular features, which, altogether, make her passably good looking. But the fascination of the lady, next to her intellectual endowments, is principally in the sweetness of expression, which, throwing an irresistible charm over all, gives her an appearance of almost unequal beauty. Some women look best in absolute repose—they might make handsome statutes. Miss Edgarton is not one them.
HER COSTUME
Might be fitly described in two words—elegant simplicity. Not an article of jewelry did she wear, save a jet pin at the throat, acd a plain, gold circlet on the little finger. The material of her dress was black gros-grai'n silk, cut en train, perfectly plain, except that the front width was flounced to the waist with silk
Around her neck was an un

relieved
Her voioe is full, sweet, round, rich and while it entirely filled the halli there was nothing in it approaching roughness, coarseness or masculinity.
Her ability as an orator and composer are unequalled by any other lady before the public, and unexcelled by any merely professional lecturer who has been on the platform in this generation.
SHE BEGUN
VVitli an apology for changing the title of the lecture, but the manuscript of her one advertised had been pocketed by the Bloomington committee, she would lecture on
MARRIAGE AND DIVOKCE. A distinguished educator lias said that a thorough expert seldom BUC ceeded in giving a correct view of subject in a lecture of an hour's length, while one not so well in formed could succeed better. Hav .inalitied to discuss marriage than 1 had been thrice married, and thrice blessed with an Indiana divorce.
nart: of woman the whole existence. 3 her be tbe mistress of trasredy, tbe queen of song, the gifted lecturer, or tbe idolized authoress, still love is everything to her. 3
But monogamy did not overcome the polvgamic idea that woman waB still to Le an aid and not an ejual. Man magnified himself and insisted on the rfect dependance of woman, and a 1 rfect trust in Lis goodness. This wtu good enough i.' be were infallible.
The wonderful progress of the last few years would have well nigh made woman the equal of man, but for the feeling that a husband owned his wife. The woman force is just beginning to exert itself. No (man was ever born with goodness and wisdom enough'to control the fate of woman—the same is true of woman, but the sexes are coming to understand each other better. When women unite to demand all that true women want, they will get it. We are half tbe world, and when we try we can move tbe whole.
A man refused to buy a pair of spurs. One spur was enough to move one side of the horse, and when one side moved the other side must move too. So if we move we are sure to bring along the rest of the world.
Work and pay should know no sex. In no other country were women treated better than in America. Tho idea everywhere prevail* that man is the bread-winner and woman the house-keeper. At the husband's death, the wife geta a life interest in some of his property. During his life she gets tier board and clothes. She ought to have au equal part of tho income to dispose of absolutely.
Congress should control marriage and divorce. Divorces should not, as now, be granted for poor reasons or no reason at ail. If Congress made marriage and divorce laws, there would be a uniformity. A woman could not then believe herself a happy wife, and only be undeceived by having adivorce granted in another State flaunted in her face.
When a wife is compelled to support the family, the lazy, idle, or drunken husband ought to iiave none of the benefits of her work, nor iu any such case should the husband be allowed to interfere with the wife's earnings. The treatment which wives receive from drunken husbands is the cause of ail the clamor for woman's rights.
More of the irregularities of fasliionable life are traceable to kid gloves and .white hands than to any other cause. Let. both men and women work—man to earn the bread,woman to keep th* home—and there will be too much enjoyment and too little time for "irregulartiea."
Young men are often afraid to marry because they see too many wives supported in an idleness, and at an expense.which they cannot afford.
All girlsshould be regularly trained to a trade or profession. This would give the independence from which a true equality would arise.
if
Opinions are inherited. If we ex amine ourselves closely we shall find more of our barbaric ancestors in ourselves than we are wont to admit Man's first feeling toward woman was pity, then affection, and—iu these latter days—justice.
We need a social emancipation— not for women, but for the race Blood drips from the hands of the lionized murderer marriage is denounced we hear of the misery of jeweled wives, and the heart-burn-ings of millionaire husbands. We need an emancipation from all this, and true marriage will emancipate us.
Marriage was first based on an inequality, women being regarded as man's inferior. It is now based on equality.
I regard the true theory of marriage to exist where there is a perfect equality between the husband and wife, and where the relation possesses tbe highest possible degree of social significance.
Marriage, at first, was only slavery. In a sensational trial recently, a law yer said tiiat man was made for God, and woman for man and to crown bis audacity he added that a man owned his wife. This was said iu a crowded court room—yet the audience did not deride, the Judge did not frown, the jury smiled, and the press reported the speech without a comment. Alas, for the civiliza» tion of the nineteenth century!
The second form of marriage was polygamy, in which men had not less than two wives, and may have more. Solomon had seven hundred, but he was modest compared to the King of Ashantee, who must have three thousand three hundred and thirty-three. If he have one less he is considered unmanly. The argument that supported polygamy once, supports free love and free divorce to-day. The last session of the Connecticut Legislature showed that State in much the same condition as Utah. A man whose wife had gone crazy in giving birth to a ohild, took her to the insaneasylum, gave bonds for her support, applied to the Legislature for, and was granted, a divorce —not because she was guilty of any wrong, but solely for the reason that he wanted a wi'e whose society he could enjoy. One true man in the Legislature opposed the divorce, and said that if he had applied for it under the same circumstance he should ex pect the judgment of God to follow him to the end of the earth.
The last and only true form of marriage was monogamy, or one bus baud for one wife. Here mau first honored woman. This was the first expression of a determination to have a true home or no home. Here are the joys that mankind seeks and the poet sings. No harmony is possible wbere there is more than oue master or more than one mistress. One bus band to one wife creates ihe haven grayed for. Love is of man's Ufe a

If society is interested in the suppression of crime—iu preventing the use of force and violence iu the marriage relation—in preventing tbe contagion r' the bad example of frequent divorces—in preventing intermarriages between blood relations, and in preventing parents from neglecting or destroying their children, then marriago is not merely an affair of parties, but society has a deep interest in the subject. That family which is indifferent to the estimate in which honor and virture are held bv society, and the society which is indifferent to the conduct of families, is worse than savages. It is the character that makes the man or woman, aud that is formed at home and mainly by the mother. Marriage makes the family the family makes the home, home makes tiue men and women, and true men and women make a nation great and keep her honor sacred.
Divorce might be tolerated iu extreme cases. It should never be encouraged in any case.
Parents should instruct their children in the trials, responsibilities and duties of marriage. Look at the false marriages daily occurring the emptorily command sonsmna^AfJ^irtera into a union ot bauds without hearts mercenary marriages, as where a girl barters her soul to the manjshe hates, to be able to ride in a fine carriage driven by a coachman in livery January and May marriages, as where a veteran of seventy, with one foot iu the grave, is held back by tbe delicate hand of a sweet sixteen ambitious marriages, as where the belle of the town turns her back on the mechanic she loves, to become Mrs. Honorable Senator, who sold his piinciples for office, and his office lor gold know-nothing marriages, as where a couple just introduced, aud not long enough acquainted to know each other's names, marry in haste to repent at leisure.
There might We a law for separation, but the marriage itself should be indissoluble. We dishonor marriage by easy facilities for divorce. Free and easy divorce encourages unfortunate marriages.
We dishonor marriage when we suggest divorce as a remedy for tbe misfortunes of marriage.
Let mothers teach their daughters to despise contemptible deceptions let ooth sexes be taught that honest industry is more honorable than wealthy idleness. Let sons be taught by the father that woman's love is priceless. The inestimable blessings of a wife's love and devotiou requires a grand return. Treating her as an equal, he will find her a divider of sorrows aud a multiplier of joys. When the laws and needs of minds are known, the fatal aud atheistic theory that marriage is a lottery will be exploded young people will think of marriage not as a temporary partnership, but a life undertaking and then for the first time will be reaji^ tbe sublimesiguificance oJUAwTgrand command, "YVhat God nath joined together let not man put asunder."

WHAT DOES IT ALL AMOUNT TO?
The favored few who held tickets to the joint seance, or test of Spiritualism, collected themselves at Pence's Hall again last night, and at 7:30 Hon. B. W. Hanna, the Chairman, called "time," after which the fight proceeded as follows
FIHST KOl'ND.
~The parties came to the 'scratch, showing great ftirmuess, but determined to carry the battle without reference to the.referees. Dr. Pence, the Spiritual champion, assumed the defeusive, and Baldwin claimed a 'foul." Pence said it wasn't any such thing. He only wanted a change in the understanding of the articles. It had been argued, verbally, that Morgan wasn't to go near the cabinet unless Baldwin went along. They wanted Baldwin to stay away. He possesses such strong mediumistic, magnetic, and mesmeric powers, that lie overcomes the magnetism aud mesmerism of the child medium, and prevents materialization.
Baldwin said that he had faith in the umpire aud referees, and proposed to leave it to them. Tills whole thing wan a trick, but as soon as the trick was performed the conditions were changed, so that the trick could not be discovered. He was to have the privilege of examining the medium and cabinet when he chose. If this was denied him, he could not discover the trick. First fall for Baldwin.
SECOND KOUND.
Pence came up coufident. He knew that the girl had an antagonistic feeling to Baldwin. He had oalled her a trickster, in her presence. It was agreed, verbally if not in writing, that if they failed to get manifestations, they could change the conditions. If they could not be allowed to do this, they would withdraw from the contest and bring the medium up there and give a seance. Others could judge as well as Baldwin. The child's reputation was involved.
Baldwin came up fiercely. His reputation was Just as dear to him as Laura's was to her. He sought this contest, claiming that Spiritualism was a humbug. His reputation was at stake. When Morgan goes np to hear what the girl whispers about moving bells, tambourines and drum •ticks, he wanted to hear too
First blood and second knock down for Baldwin. THIRD KOUND.
Pence began to show his punishment, and came to time with more vim than courage. He wanted to get out of the fight without getting hit again. If tbe umpires and referee decided that he couldn't get out honorably he was going to get out any way. We won't go on if we can't get such conditions as will enable us to whip the fight. Then if he can duplicate the manifestations I am badly fooled.
Baldwin claimed his righls under the agreement. This was a square blow from the shoulder. Tbe claret flowed freely from Pence's bugle and both peepers
Pence made fearful efforts to rally claimed that neither he nor his friends were discouraged. Seances would go on any way, and they would have the fight all on their side. He had spent nearly two thousand dollars was spending much money now, and he meant to win this fight if be had to do it with nobody on tbe other side.
Baldwiu then got the Spiritualistic champions' heads in chancery, his left arm being scientifically twisted around their necks, while his right mauler pounded their knobs in a way that was considered neither vain nor pleasant. At one time they asserted that they had been hit in the bread basket, and claimed afoul but the claim was not allowed, the refer ees deciding that every blow had been delivered above the belt.
Baldwin being thef onl^party who came /o/ljh^ scratch &^*the next round/ aSKthe/ referee to decide that/ihe hafl won the fight. judge decided that he had nothing to do with the fight, on!yjforee that the articlesj»«re,"carriedS»»i They (thyartJCl^Tliad ldeen abandoned by parties, and mis occu/ation was (one.

Tbe fight being thus decided in favor of Baldwin, tbe joint seance for this evening was declared off, and the umpire ordered

so that the victor's friends might congratulate him, and the friends of the vanquished condole with them.
TO BE, OB NOT TO BE.
Dr. Pence announced that there would now be a seance under such conditions as the Spiritualists saw lit to impose.
Dr. Pence further remarked that the music was gone, and they would postpone the seance. -j
To which Dr. Pence added that there would now be a seance anyway.
Dr. Pence then said there would not be a seance. At this point Laura Morgan, under escort of her father, entered tbe hall, accompanied by half tbe music.

Laura wasplaced ,in the cabinet and chaiued. The gas was turned out. The violin colored orchestra—
that'Is,*th« colored violin orchestra— violin-colored is not a new color resembling "cherry-brown," but is an orchestra composed of a violin played by a colored brother—th® violin colored orchestra struck up. Spirits didn't like it, and called for "Indian Roses." The orchestra thought "Tbe Girl I Left Behind Me" was a rose, he wasn't sure she. was an Indian, but he'd play her anyway. Then tbe spirits didn't want the bells iu the cabinet,and the bells were taken out In five minutes
MORGAN MATERIALIZED
enough to ask what^th# matter was The ^medium didn't know. Morgan told lier to.ask the spirit if he would doauything. If not we will take you out.
The medium said the spirit? said, "yes." In five minutes more ^something else was wanted in the cabinet, but Mr. 'Morgan 'plainly and flatly told the spirits that he wouldn't do it.
THEN THE*SPIRITS GOT MAD, and in two minutes were trying to break that Innocent tambourine to pieces, by shaking it with all their mieht aud pounding it on the table. Or that was lhe,way the noise in the cabinet sounded. AH at once tbe

Then came the final, GRAND, CONVINCING TEST, the crowniug triumph, aud culminating glory of the evening.
There was no negro in the cabinet— bear that in mind. There was no person iu there but Mrs. Stewart. And yet tbe face of a negro girl was plainly seen at tbe aperture. There could be no mistake. The face was Hrtrt- arifeVrt vV.^18 face.
Let our colored friends rejoice. However little the white man learned last night, we now know that there is
A HEAVEN FOR NEOROES,
because a negro bead, face and shoulders were seen at tbe opening of tbe cabinet. They weai good clothes iu negro heaven. They are white and clean, as if freshly washed and newly ironed. The black on the face is no saddle-colored mixture either. It's a genuine black. True, it looks as if it was painted or printed, but it is all uumixed black. And the lips—clierry-brown, nor cberry-red will describe them but tbe bright, beautiful red tbe reddest lead showed throughout their enormous thickness. We didn't see the eyes nor tbe teeth. The eyes seemed too far back in the head, aud the lips were closed irfa perpetual smile, covering the teeth completely.
Some five minutes AFTER THE FACE DISAPPEARED, Mrs. Stewart came forth, dressed precisely as she went iu. She couldn't have changed her clothes,nor had on a false face, because she looked so natural aud smiling. And spirits don't scare her a bit.
The violin colored orchestra went up and gravely began an examination of the cabinet. But he found no sister there, nor anything else, and hence it must have been a spirit from negro hei

Editors Evening Gazette: As the Spiritualists have withdrawn from their own agreement, and practically acknowledge me as victor, I have a new proposition to make, viz Sallie Cooper or myself wili duplicate Laura Morgan's performance at any I ime. I will agree to keep away from the cabinet. I will not examine Laura Morgan's fastenings before she goes in tbe cabinet, nor while she is in tbe cabinet, nor when she comes out. I will not at any time go nearer the cabinet than twenty feet. I am convinced that her performance is a swindle and a fraud, and tbat her father knows it and assists her iu it. I will put up money, or I will do it for nothing. I will agree to most anything to oe allowed to show up tbis unmitigated fraud. I will do it before anaudience, allowing admittance free to all who may come, or I will give a joint seatice for an admission fee, or I will do it before a committee of citizens. S. 8. BAMJWIN.

and a bell rattled as if it bad been Jarred. AND Al.r, WAS STII.IJ. "Now," said Captaio' Hook, triumphantly, "nee if she isjtied just aB you left her!"
She was tied as flie had"been*neft, but then the lock was on the other Hide of her bauds. That's what a skeptic—a wicked skeptic, so to speak —reported to some other skeptic.
At 8:55 the cabinet was closed again, and at 8:66 the performance was
as above, without any
change of programme. FOUR SKEPTICS —very wicked skeptics, as it were— gave us this card to publish "NVo, the undersigned, wore present at a privato seance, given by Laura Morgan, in Pence's Hall, on the even

Then the door closed again, and Morgan wanted the spirit to play on the bells. Tbe spirits replied that they didn't like the violin colored orchestra's music, and wanted him to play "Fire Hop," and then tbey repeated the tambourine performance, and there was another examination.
At 9 o'clock the medium was shut in again, but it was now SPIRIT BED-TIME— or at least "Venus' bed-time—for he reported through the medium "1 was going to ring the bells, but it is too late now. Adieu."
Then nearly all tbe crowd went home, sorry that they hadn't been convinced that there were spirits, because if there ars spirits we'll all be spirits when we die and if there are not spirits, we won't be spirits when we die. Now, if "Venus"ouly hadn't been to sleepy too ring the bells, we

The other medium came out, and then Mrs. Stewart showed what the spirits would do for her. A white hand oauie out of the aperture in tbe cabinet. Mrs. Stewart says it wasn't her's. There was nobody else in the cabinet, aud therefore, it must have been a spirit's hand.
A Pair of Fires. AN ALARM OF FIKE
was sounded at about 7A Tuesday moruing. It proved to be located in the third story of the brick house upon the northeast corner of Second and Main. A few buckets of water ex
tinguished this fire, and tbe engines
returned to tbeir houses. was turned on at about 9 A. M. This time from the southwest corner of Third aud Swan. The house is a twostory frame occupied by Mr. George P. Wolfe, the auctioneer. As nearly as we could ascertain, the fire originated in this way: There was no fire in the second story, and the stove-pipe bole, instead of being covered with tin, as usual, was stuffed with rags. These rags caught fire from the sparks in tbe flue from below, and fell down into the room behind a trunk which was near. The trunk was fired, then the baseboard and floor. Tbe engines were promptly upon tbe spot, and soon extinguished the flames, and deluged the house with water. The house was but little damaged by fire, but a good deal by the smoke and water. Mr. Wolfe informed us that be was insured for $120.00, in a good company, aud this will cover all loss.
Another Accident.
Mr. John Miller, an employee of Meyers brewery,was so badly injured while at work Tuesday that his life la dispaired of. While engaged in directing the mash into tbe vat, Miller was in some way precipitated into the steaming mass of mash. Mr. Meyers witnessed tbe accident, and ran quickly to the engine and stopped the machinery. Then he ran to tbe tab and assisted Miller out, and with some assistance carried him home »nd summoned physician*. It was Ascertained tbat the revolving paddles, designed to reduce tbe mash to a pulp, had broken a leg, dislocated a shoulder, stripped tbe flesh from an arm and bruised tbe body about all over. The victim of tbe mishap was also badly burned by the hot ateam.

BAXTER BILL.
Or Tbe Perils of Spj-derdom. A True Story.
The time was Saturday night, and the place, a popular Main street saloon. Wiih much talking and some drinking the hours passed by, uutil Baxter Bill's curfew tolled the hour of nine o'clock, and the time for closing came. This intelligence was conveyed by the proprietor to the persons present and they all complied with his request by leaving, excepting a certain party, tbe members of which had just seated themselves at a table, preparatory to some bibulous refreshment. Promising to leave as soon as they bad drained their glasses, tbey told him to go ou with his locking up. Tiiis be had scarcely completed at tbe front when a noise was heard at the back door as of some one opening it partially, and for the purpose of inspection.
All eyes being turned iu that direction, they beheld the bearded face ol a man in disguise, peering through the door, evidently bent on observation, and spying out violations of tbe Baxter bill. The proprietor and a certain liquor dealer from Indianapolis, grasped clubs and pokers, and made for the door, and the minister plenipotentiary and euvoy extraordinary of Baxter William. But tbe minister bad tied as the bell-ringing, spirits at Pence's Hall flee like guilty things when a committee pursueth. He of Indianapolis and tho liquor trade suggested the lying iu wait upon bis part for the envoy's return, a thing uo sooner said than done. But a few momeuts elapsed when the masked face returned, at the door, aud the Capital citizen nabbed the wearer, and the proprietor, Buatchlug a club, commenced belaboring him with it—hack, head, stomach and legs, in a lively fashion. There were groans of agony, and frenzied yells, aud appeals for mercy made by that envoy extraordinary, which fell uubeaded upon the ears of that stony-hearted saloou keeper

A Bright and Cheerful Child Crushed to Death by a Hose Cart. One of the saddest accidents which it has fallen to our lot to chronicle, occurred Tuesday morning as the fire companies were proceeding to the fire on the
corner
of Third and Swan.
A hose carriage dashed down Main street and turned south at Third, closely followed by the hook and ladder company, at the same time an engine came down Third aud nearly collided with the hook and ladder, aud immediately following the engine was another hose reel, this hose reel ran over a small boy who was standing in the street. The wheel passed over bis bead, cutting it in a frightful manner. The carriage was stopped so suddenly, that it is said the wheel still remained upon his body, aud it was neces-
