GOOD FOOTBALL GAME

SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY

Kast Chicago, Ind., Oct. 21. Charles II. Spaulding, building: commissioner of East Chicago, old settler, prominent member of the order of Eagles and a well-known Maccabee, died last night at his home In Earing avenue, after a lingering illness in which heart disease was the- prnclpal ailment, complcated by nophrtls. Tho end came rather suddenly, although his family and physician, Dr. Blcknell, had been looking for it at almost any time ever since the stroke of apoplexy which Mr. Spaulding suffered last summer. Mr. Spaulding leaves a widow and three daughters. Myrtle, Mabel and Ida. who were with him at the end. The funeral arrangements are in charge of Stewart, the Hammond undertaker. Dr. Bicknell has been in attendance on the invalid ever since last summer, when he suffered a stroke of apoplexy one evening while seated on the porch of a neighbor. .Mrs. Spaulding was away at the time, having gone to England on a visit. She was notified of her husband's condition and although he showed marked Improvement in a day or two, she started for home at once The invalid, although he got so he was able to be up and around, was never himself after the experience. He only ventured out on the streets, to go down town, that is, once or twice after the stroke, and he and his family have been waling for the end ever since He leaves besides his family a large circle of friends to mourn his loss.

The football game between he Hammond Athletic association and the Delwood Athletic club, which is to be played in Hammond next Sunday, will be the first home game that will be played this season by the club team. As the Hammond Athletic association has one of the best teams that was ever organized in this city the people of Hammond will have a chance to see a real game of football. It is expected that there will be a large crowd out. The Hammond Athletic club has gone to considerable expense to equip a team and employ a competent coach, and as the etam is a good advertisement for the city, it Is hoped that the business men will show their appreciation by attending the games. Tonight the Delwood Athletic club's indoor baseball team will play the locals in their club house in Bellview place and this game should be a good one. Make Great Preparations. A number of the members of the club have taken a great deal of interest in the organization of an indoor baseball team and the players have spent considerable time In practice, so it may be expected that tho game tonight will be hotly contested. Indoor baseball is expected to become

as popular a sport as basketball, and all the team needs Is a little encour

agement. While the Hammond Athlet

ic club is appealing to the people of

Hammond for support they do not want

the general public to look upon their

appeal as a matter of charity.

The game will be worth the candle, and It would be hard to secure a more enjoyable evening's entertainment in

any other manner. The boys will deliv

er the goods and the game tonight

and the one on Sunday afternoon will

be worth the price of admission. Silverman AVill Play. The members of the Hammond Athlet Ic club announce that they have se cured the services of Tackle Silver

man of the Fort Sheridan football

team, who is on a furlough, and this

should greatly strengthen the locals. A football game has been scheduled with Michigan City for a week from Saturday, and It is expected that the team will have another important game scheduled with South Bend for two

weeks from Saturday.

This makes it apparent that the athletic calendar of the Hammond Athletic club for the next few weeks Is pretty well filled and that there will be plenty of amusement of this

kind provided for the people of Ham

mond.

Bachelors and benedicts, old and young, business men and factory employes all crowded into Towle's Opera House last night to see the "Gay Morning Glories," and the reception that the girls of the world of rouge, powder and short skirts received was, conservatively speaking, enthusiastic. If the occasion had been a pugilistic carnival the crowd might have been a typical one. There was not a woman In the house, and it is well that there was not, for at times the "jokes" were so coarse and suggestive that even among the uninitiated there were glances askance and many could not believe their ears. It seemed as thought the word had been given, "Go as far as you like," and the comedians went the limit. Sensation after sensation was sprung, and even the wise old wags about the citylooked at each other in astonishment at what was said. Show Well Equipped. The show itself, barring the suggestive dialogue, was one of the best of the sort that has ever come to the city. The chorus was fair, the ballet was composed of pretty girls and the costuTVs were new and attractive. ButiViis was all neutralized by the libertieathat were taken with the audience by the comedians. At times the lines were so coarsely vulgar that it was a surprise that the chorus girls, if they had any womanhood about them at all, did not show a flush of resentment clear through the layers of grease paint. A show of th character of that which appeared in Hammond last night would

have been stopped by the police in Chicago. Here the performance was over before the police could Interfere and the show left town with the revolting impression it l-'ft still deeply imprinted on the minds of the men and boys who saw it. What the People Want. The management of the house cannot be blamed, for tiie reason that the element wants burlesque, the more suggestive the better, and it has proven that its "best" people will not patron-

the Gay Morning Glories" had just enough merit as a production, outside of the coarser features of the show, to win for it the degree of attention that

it got. And the great majority of the people who saw the show went away convinced that it had got Its money's worth. The dance of LaBelle Bonita was nothing more or less than the imitation Egyptian affair that made the Midway famous at the World's fair in Chicago. In spite of the rain, Hammond theatergoers gave the burlesque the stamp their approval last night. Hammond does not want high class drama. It wants a burlesque, the coarser the better.

CREATED SENSATIO LAST

The Times' exclusive story of the decision of the officials of the Standard Steel Car company to employ 1,200 men within the next month and raise the number of employes at the local plant to 5,000 within a year, created a sensation i nbusiness circles. Many of the business men who were interviewed about the matter this morning said that it meant the beginning of the greatest era of prosperiy that the city of Hammond has ever known. The fact was not generally appreciated that the Standard Steel Car company has never really gto to running, and that when it does start Hammond win have a boom that will result in the first real abnormal period of expansion that the city has ever known. It was glad news to the business men. It was glad news to the owner of property in Hammond, to the owner of homes. It Is the fulfillment of the prophecy that was made in The Times

THE GIRL, THAT'S ALL THE CANDY. Quite a different impression was formed last evening of the musical comedy. -The Girl That's All the Candy" than the one of the imaginary sort which most people had quite naturally acquired from the mere title of the price. For a 75-cent show its a winner. The company consisted of thirty people, including the chorus, were well costumed and possessed of rood singing voices and carried the play along with a vim and dash that won for them the approval of all. The members of the chorus were mostly young girls. They are a good looking lot of damsels and take hold of their work In a business-like way. The company has two German comedians. Edwin Miner, in the role of Hans Snitiel, the leading fun maker is a star, and, together with George Clark, who played the part of Adolphus Busch, the retired brewer, engendered humor enough into the play to make it a comedy of the right sort. "The Girl That's All the Candy" has more plot to it than the svnr,,.

Mrs. Martha Miller, the proprietor of the school children's candy store at Sixteenth avenue and Massachusetts streets, was viciously attacked in her place of business Monday afternoon by two negroes. The men, after buying two

cigars, grabbed the woman and attempted to drug- her with a saturated handkerchief, but a foreigner, passing by at the time, who saw the atetmpted crime, frightened them away. The police were notified of the attempted attack, but have not made the matter public. Since Monday they have brought four negroes Into Mrs. Miller's place for identification, but neither of the suspects proved to be the right one. Was Brutal Attack. The affair Monday was the most brutal that lias occurred in the south end

ror some time. The men walked into the store about 1 o'clock and bought two cigars. One of them asked for credit on the goods and they wero then told that she did not give credit. In response they grabbed her. and while one of the men held her tho other drew from his pocket a handkerchief, which

he attempted to bind across her mouth. The cloth had been soaked with a drug of some character, which dazed her and from which she has not entirely recovered at the present time. No other injury was inflicted in the struggle, except a bruise on her head. The attack of the negroes is but another indication of the presence of a vicious element which has been allowed to remain about this city, due to the presence of such ring leaders as Johnson, Jackson and Piper. This character of men are the ones that have been menacing the safety of every decent men, women and children in the south end. as John Brennan stated In his speech at the Binzenhof hall Saturday night. This crime only came to the notice of this paper by accident, as the police had no report of the matter on file which the reporters were allowed to see.

(Special to Tub Times.) East Chicago, Oct. 21. Bad weather last evening kept many at home who otherwise would have turned out for the apening of the Catholic fair, which is now in progress under the auspices of St. Mary's church. However, the liberality of those who did attend, made up for the small size of the crowd and when the receipts were counted up it was found that over $100 had been taken in. This sum Is considered large under the circumstances and leads Father Lauer and those who are interested in promoting the event, to believe that with reasonably good

than had been hoped for It. The fish pond and the dancing took better than anything else. The fish pond is under the management of Misses Rose Heslin, Grace Kennedy and Addie and Lily Gilboe. There was a crowd around the fish pond all evening and the splendid music by Barney Young's orchestra set the feet of those who danced, to itching and everybody took a whirl at this popular amusement. The candy booth, in charge f Miss Mary Kourque, was another drawing card. Scene An Attractive One. The variously decorated booths gave an attractive appearance to the interior, purple and white, yellow, green and white and blue and white, viewing with each other for supremacy, and these coupled with the beautiful goods on display made the scene a roit of color.

A number of chance books were raffled off: The ton of coal, donated by the Wisconsin Lumber company, went to A. L. Webster of Olcott avenue. Mrs. Nick Getzinger's $5 gold piece was won by Mrs. J. Straulis of Tod avenue. A sofa pillow, donated by Miss Anna Flack was won by L Ladd and three of the contestants guessed the name of the hand-made elephant. This elephant, by the way, was the source of considerable amusement. It cost five cents to have a guess at his name, he having b-en christened by the superior of St. Mary's parochial school, and the name being written on a slip of paper and enclosed in a sealed envelope. Kvery name under th sun was guessed, from Beauty Bf-Ue to Hercules, and when the envelope was opened and "Mike" was found to be the humble cognomen, it was received with cheers of delight. There were three who had the right hunch and who by some process of mental ttlepaty guessed the "Mike" would about fit th"p elephant. Th sncresful guessers were Sadie Kennedy. Margaret O'Toole and W. It. Diamond. As Mr. Diamond was not present, the all absorbing question of who will ultimately own Mike was postponed until this evening, when the three successful guessers will be required to draw straws for the prize. Mrs. O'Toole made Mike, and her handiwork certainly proved most popular. About twenty chances wil be raffled off tonight. Tonight also Johnnie Sterling will furnish the music for the dancing. Everybody come.
