The grand march is scheduled io take place at eight thirty o'clock; ’ '. The code of unwritten law is likely to become bulky' if present ‘tendencies ane not checked, the Washington Post. If a man may kill another tor one-Itind-ot-insult he cannot reasonably be denied the privilege of murdering tor any other- insult. The scope of unwritten law is therefore very large, ‘ and the horizon of its operations is far off. Yet there must be a boundary -somewhere if the human race is to survive the’sudden judgments of the man with the gun. Many wonderful things happen in this country. One of them is the recent election to the United States senate from a western state of the son of an immigrant who came to this country in the steerage in the middle of the last century, and later married a fellow steerage passenger. But this is not so wonderful as the presence in the senate of another man who came over in the steerage himself, and has risen to a position of power and influence. Fred C. LaDelle and son will not leave on their regular trip until next Monday, owing to the fact that a missent telegram did not reach them in time.

From announcements made through various papers, we learn that the Shamrock base ball team has again organized and are ready for the season. As in former years, this team will again be Jed by that popular manager, Mart Cleary and will be made up of Fort Wayne players. The Fort Wayne Shamrocks have always made a reputation for themselves and the city they represent and the team is always composed of a gentlemanly lot of players both on and off the diamond and make friends wherever they go. Not only are they gentlemen but they are ball players am} when they are secured as an attraction the fan are always sure of a good game of ball, as they play to win at all times.
