GARY'S F RST SOCIAL EVENT

Inaugural Ball by Pleasure Club Draws Out Entire 400 of Gary. 10IIS LEADS MARCH Floor of Specter & Goldberg's New Gliding Presents Ideal Place for Light Fantastic Trip. It is safe to say that none of the momentus events, which come so rapidly to the people of Gary, that their import 13 lessened, will leave lasting memories, as that which will come with recollections of the first society affair of the steel town. Under the able management of the Prospect Pleasure club and with the help of willing friends, last evening was made the most enjoyable of any thus far. Gary's grand ball was in every sense of the word a susccess. It was held in the building to be occupied by Specter & Goldberg. This has just been completed. It is 20x60 with a good floor and presented too good an opportunity to waste. Personal invitations were sent out early to everyone with no room left on them for It. S. V. P. The invitation virtually was a command. At 9 o'clock the wealth and beauty of Gary began to gather v and in a ehort ''""while" iho room was' filled and a large audience was on the outside. Mr. Hay's phonograph had been pressed into service and was made to serve for orchestra for the first few numbers. The grand march which formally opened the ball, was led by Mr. and Mrs. T. K. Knotts. Among others who took part were Mr. and Mrs. Specter, Mr. Miller and daughter Ruth and Mr. Miller, Jr. and wife, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Chambers, Mrs. A. C. Huber and brother Mr. Relland, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Reiland. Warne Brings Out His Fiddle. Mr. Warne was persuaded to bring out his violin. Although he declares he had not played for a dozen years, his ability as shown by the numbers he played and by the. applause the dancers accorded him, was not of the ordinary kind. In the meantime Tro. McLain had secured Messrs Chappell and Scritchfield who furnished the music for the rest of the evening. They are mem bers of the corps and the part they played in last evening's pleasure served but to increase their popular ity. Messrs Post and Hirsch of the south- corps were present. ' Mr. Hirsch's indisposition prevented him taking an active part but Mr. Post enjoyed himself thoroughly as did the other boys. During a rest on the part of the musicians "Wellington P. Jones recited "Who Put the Water in the Milk" and Mr. Cooper followed with "And he Never Smiled Again." The former excelled in oratory at Yale ami the latter is well known from Valparaiso. The remainder of the evening pass cd all too quickly with waltzes, twosteps, quadrilles and reels. There was nothing to mar the pleasure. The spirit with which the college boys entered into their parts whether dance or play or recite, helped greatly to round out the full measure of pleasure and we are proud of them as well as of the rest of the crowd that gathered at our first ball. In deed no where else could you have gathered so large a number of so cos roopolitan a character and had so en joyable an evening as here in Gary TRADES AND LABOR - COUNCIL MEETS There will be. a meeting of the trades and labor council at counci hall tonight to consider plans for the labor day celebration, and other mat tcv-s of importance. All members are requested to be present.

WHEN LABOR CELEBRATES (

Monster Demonstration Is Planned by Union lien for September 3. SCENE, DOUGLAS PARK Place Accessible to Surrounding Towns Which Have Been Asked to Participate. " Labor Day, which will be celebrated on the third day of September this year, will be a memorable one if the plans of those who have the celebration in charge are carried out. The committee had practically decided on Sharpshooter's park as the most desirable place in which to give the afternoon program when it was pointed out that South Hohman street would be torn up on account of the sewer construction and would cause great inconvenience to the crowds that are expected to throng the park. With Sharpshooter's park eliminated, it was finally decided to hold the celebration at Douglas park on the North Side. This selection Is a fortunate one as it is located near enough to Hammond to be easily ac cessible and is also Avithin the reach of East Chicago, Whiting and Indiana Harbor people who have been in vited to participate with JIammond in observance of the day. i -A contract has already been enered into with D. A. Pugh for three bands and the music alone will cost nearly $200. There will be a big parade in the morning which will be made up of hundreds of marclfing union men, the city officials, and the police. It is also expected that many of the business men will be represented with floats in the parade Program of Games. At Douglas park it is planned to build a large dancing floor and put on a canvas roof m case it should rain. An effort will be made to se cure some big attraction that will prove a drawing card to the crowds but so far the plans have not mate riallzed enough to' enable the com mittee to state what this attraction will be. There are, however, several h in gs already decided upon for the funusement of the crowds. There will be foot races and other athletic events. beveral burlesque races have been decided upon in which the fat men, the lean men, the fleshy woman and the slight ones will contest for hon ors on the track. There will be ample provision for the satisfaction of the appetite both for liquids and soids and the restaurant, liquid refreshment, candy, erackerjacK ana otner concessions will be sold to the highest bidder. Committees Hard at Work. The members of the committee who are already working strenuously for the success of Labor Day are Nick Lauer of the cigar makers, Al Fetta of the plumbers. Edward Stolley of the painters, W. G. Zeigler of the plumbers, Louis Wirts of the butchers, Thomas Herle of the teamsters. William Mead of the sheet metal workers and Jos. Mallett and Mr. Baumgardner of the carpenter's union. There are now twenty-four different unions in Hammond which inelude in their membership several thousand workers. When so large a portion of the population of this Cin is directly interested in the celebration they' are sure to make a success of it and there is no doubt that when the business men see what is being accomplished, they will heartily cooperate with, the unions in making the day a splendid success.

INSURANCE FACTIONS REACH UNDERSTANDING ON ADVANCE. Board and League vvill Co-operate. League Gives in But Will Receive Recognition. Dean Schedule Is Next. An understanding between the union and non-union insurance com panies in Jndiaa has been , reached and the possibility for a rate war be tween the state board and the league i3 minimized. A deadlock on the rate advance had been reached in Hammond and the surrounding cities some time ago. The various represenatives met at East Chicago to discuss the advance and the adoption of the Dean sched ule. The non-union men objected strenuously and the result " "'s that a resolution was sent to the state board telling it that both the state board and he state league refused to adopt the advance and the Dean schedule. The strongest objection to both was made right in this part of the state. With the understand ing, less friction is anticipated. On the contrary co-operation is expected. The fight between the two factions had its origin in the failure of the board to consult the league when the new rates were to be promulgated. The league never objected very strenuously to the new rates, but wanted to be recognized in promulgating them. The non-union companies have not yet indorsed the Dean schedule throughout the state. It is used in some parts of the state by both companies. This district does not use the Dean schedule, but insurance men feel confident that it will only be a question of a few months before it too, will be adopted over the entire state. SHERRICK IS CHEERFUL. Dan W. Simms of Lafayette, who was one of the attorneys who defended ex-Auditor of State David Sherrick, in his trial at Indianapolis, has received a letter from Sherrick, who is now in the state prison at Michigan City, in which the former state official expresses his sincere gratitude to persons ; who have demonstrated their friendship. He writes cheerfully and there is not a complaint in his letter against anybody. He says that his conscience does not upbraid him for anything he has done and he expects the supreme court to reverse the decision which sent him to prison. It is when misfortune overtakes a man, he says, that he realizes the true meaning of the word friendship and this, he says, he has enjoyed to the utmost. T0LLEST0N TO HAVE SCHOOL HOUSE. E. W. Bump has just closed a contract ( to make the plans for a new school house at Tolleston to cost $15,000. It is said to he a fourroom building of brick and is to be of modern design. The work on the new structure wilUbe pushed to completion as soon as possible.

4c A SYMPHONY FOR REAL JOURNALISTS. Every community suffers when the individual neglects his civic duties, but when the newspaper is derelict or corrupt the effect is momentous, writes Samuel Bowles in the North American Review. It must be absolutely devoted to public interests and stand for public enlightenment and welfare. Essential to the adequate -fulfillment of its functions are honest art and genuine proportion in its construction. The newspaper maker on the one hand is a lnufacturer, but on the ' other- hand his work is like that of the learned professions, law, medicine, the ministry, and should be conducted in conformity to the standards which are supposed to rule in those callings. "The journalist has one client- one patient, one flock that is to say the whole community, and nothing should stand in the way of his single minded and devoted service of that one common interest. The editor, says Mr. Bowles, should beware of all entangling alliances political, social,, commercial which may limit or embarrass such service... He should let the honors and emoluments of public office go to other people His own office, if properly administered, is more important and powerful than any his that' his fellow citizens are likely to confer upon him. The independent newspaper may be and should be the most vital and effeexne instrument that democratic society can produce for its own advancement and protection; and its true business welfare In the long view, lies in a complete, intelligent, sympathetic devotion to public interest. OF INTEREST TO PRINTERS. A stenotype machine by which a syllable (and in some case two or three syllables) is printed in type at each stroke of the fingers, has oeen invented by a Parisian. Thi3 result has been obtained by an ingenious arrangement of the letters of the alphabet. It is said that fifty words a minute can be -writtpn hv an amateur, while a normal speed of 125 to 150 words can be obtained in two months, and in some cases as high as 300 words. LOOK FOR FINISH OF STATE STREET. Bricks are now being hauled for West State street brick pavement. The business men along the piece of street that recently was torn up, are anxious "to see the street finished, as it hampers, their business. The sand is deep and only light loads can be hauled in it, and consequently the business , men hailed With delight the first load of brick that was deposited this morning.

Y. M. C. A. MOVEMENT V7ELC0MED IN HAMMOND. Prospect of an Early Establishment of this Society to Cover the En tire County. Guy M. Wells, who is assistant state secretary of the Young Mens Christian association, was in the city yesterday on business of considerable importance to Hammond. It is understood that an effort will be made to build a fine Y. M. C. A. building in this city and it is hinted that W. P. Conkey will be a liberal contributor to the big sum that will be required to erect a structure that will meet the growing demands of 111 is growing CityV" v All of tne plans to start the movement in Hammond have not materra'lized and the full details will not be made known un til this fall, when Mr. Wells will have another conference with Mr. Conkey and the announcement of his donation will be made. It is also known that it is proposed to establish two railway Y. M. C. A.'s in the vicinity of Hammond. One is to be located at Osborn and the other at South Hammond. The rail road companies generally contribute liberally to aid these projects as they find they generally have a good in fluence on their emplqyes. "GOV." MANIS0N COMES AND GOES Gov. Manison. as he pleases to cal himself, registered at Chief Rim bach's summer hotel in the Superior court house last night. Gov. Manison hails from Bass Lake where he holds a position as watchman for the Nickel Plate ice houses. Besides holding that position he also holds tie idea that at one time he was candidate for governor of Indiana He came to Hammond in a Nickel Plate box car, but failed to make an explanation why he came. Gov Manison returned to Bass Lake to day. COLLIDES WITH BRICK PILE. Vern Parker, of the V. W. Parker Transfer company, was drivin north on Hohman street near Webb when he was blinded by the light of an approaching street car, and his horse was thrown into a pile of bricks 'which was piled along the street for the purpose of building the sewrer. There was no danger signal on the obstruction, and Mr. Parker thinks the city should see that the sewer contractors put -the lights where they are needed. GLLLEN CAME HOME TO DEi. Charles Gillen of East Chicago, died yesterday at the home of his brother at East Chicago, after an illness of sis weeks during which time he was in a Chicago hospital. He was discharged from the hospital a week , ago, and his friends at the time thought that he would recover. , Gillen was 56 years old and was buried in Oak Hill cemetery. He spent most of his time in Chicago, where he was employed by the Knickerbocker Ice company, having been in its employ for more than 25 years.
