ROOT seems to have dealt so cleverly with the Latin-Americans that some one might well have predicted that- they would not speed the parting gue;t as warmly and vigorously as they welcomed him, which case is usually reversed. THE PAPERS of the state are speaking very lightly of the new traction line that is to connect Hammond with Crown Point and Indianapolis. Patrons of the road here would like to see it on something more tangible than- paper before they take much stock in it. IN THE allotment for private theatricals, "New York by Night'' goes to any hard working lobster with a family to support at the sea shore and who otherwise is styled, "The; goose tht lays the golden egg." "The Heart of a Sparrow" goes to; Hetty Green and Russel Sage can't! i contest it. i NO MATTER how much seeming justice is attached to the sentiment worked into arguments for defense! and acquittal, it is certain that the spectacle Of Players being lionized and so acquitted, is fast becoming a direct incentive to murder in New York City. fTHERE have been several accidents lately caused by the blinding light of the street cars. The search light may be a necessity in the country where a greater rate of speed is maintained, but in the city it is useless and a nuisance. In most cities? there is an ordinance prohbittig the use of search Ights within certain limits and lights of less intensity are used where the streets are lighted with electricity. The fc-arch light frightens horses, blinds the eyes of automobile drivers and is unpifarant to pedestrians, who are co-v polled to put up with having the brilliant lisht flashed in their faces until the car pa-.-cs. HAMMOND is keenly feeling the effect nf the ice famine, while perhaps, residents on principal streets have no trouble in getting ice daily, p ople on ride streets have to go pome times for days without ice. Only today a Homewood resident was compelled to hire a drayman at m expense of 25 cents to haul down

a 20-cent piece of Ice. No ice hid been delivered there since Saturday, although two successive days the Pure Ice company had promised to deliver there. The Knickerbocker company refuse to deliver on that street at all because it is not paved. Hammond's council should keep sur-

veilanee over t hese concerns and compel them to put on e; ough wagons

He invaded an art school in New York where he found some catalogs issued by the school containing some photographs or pictures of nude art. lie confiscated them and arrested the young woman clerk. It is high time that the society for prevention of vice gets a new official, one who is up with the advancement of sense and sentiment among men. The time has passed, whether or no it argues decay of modesty, when men and women, boys or girls, are injured by pictures of the sculpture and painting of the node. (1ft a young man or girl out of the rut. that was made half a century ago. Perhaps if Comstock were deposed, however, there would be no society. Elkhart Review. RAILR0ADN0TES The Erie railroad is putting in a stone ballast on its right of way between here and Chicago. The Wabash and Grand Trunk railroads are in a fight to haul the Bryan special to New York and back and each road is doing its best to secure the contract. The Chicago Great Western will be the official route between Omaha and Chicago. Vice president Harrahan of the Illinois Central. wrho recently returned from Europe, says: "New Orleans Is destined to be on the world's greatest ports. In a comparatively short time it will be the place of entry for imports for not only the south, but the great Mississippi valley, the far west and even the Pacific coast. The last company to announce that it has never killed a passenger on its trains is the Missouri, Kansas & Texas. The company was organized in 1S70. A similar statement has been made concerning the Canadian Pacific lines west of Winnipeg. The Canadian Pacific main line thruogh to the Pacific coast was opened in the year 1SS6. ' The article in yesterday's Times that it was rumored that the Lake Shore would spend $200,000 in Chesterton is partially verified by the officials of that road. They are going to spend at least $80,000 this year and more later. Water troughs will be put up between the tracks for the fast trains that do not stop there. Twenty-five feet of land each side of the right of way are to be bought and long sidings put in. these to gradually connect with similar sidings at other stations, ultimately with a view of having the entre Chicago system four tracked. Blue prints have been made for a depot but it will hardly be built this year. Populous Cheese. A professor of the Swiss Dairy school at Sonntal has compiled statistics of the number of micro organisms found lu cheese. II is experiments ad to the conclusion that every gram (one-thirtieth part of an ouneel of fresh Eramenthaler (Swiss) cheese contains be tween W.OOO and 100,000 living germs. ! After two months the number has increased to SOO.U00. Cream cheese contahls a MI lger number of animalculae, a gram bartering after three I weeks 750,000, rising to 2.000.000 after a month and a half. These figures apply only to the center of the cheese,

WARM WORDS- '"! IVES

natient at Kane's Ob structive Methods. MEETINGJS STORMY Robertsdale Sewer and Water Supply Create Acrid Dicsussion. Contracts Awarded. It was decidedly warm in the Hammond city council chamber last night and the warmest places there were under the collars of Mayor Becker an Councilman Kane. It could hardly be called a set-to because the mayor and alderman did not mix, but there was certainly a tilt between the two that at one time looked rather serious. Mayor Becker was anxious to dispose of a lot of business that had accumulated during his absence, and among the most important of the measures under consideration was an ordinance approving the contract with William Kleihege for the laying of water mains in Johnson street, State street, Calumet avenue and Chicago avenue, and also the question of taking measures to prevent the stopping up of the Robertsdale sewer with gravel ia the summer and ice in the winter. In the case of the Kleihge contract. Councilman Kane and one or two others refused to ratify the contract which had been made by the board of public works because the contract price did not compare favorably with other contracts for the same kind of work. It is nunecessary to enter into the details of the discussion except to explain that there was a bid accepted some time ago at a much lower price because there was a mistake made by the contractor in figuring the cost of the work. Mr. Kane could not understand why there should be the difference and refused to vote for the suspension of the rules that would enable the council to pass the measure at last night's meeting. Relief for Robertsdale. In the case of the Robertsdale sewer Councilman Schaaf reported that the waves had clogged up the mouth of the sewer so that there was no outlet for the sewage. It was pointed out that this condition of affairs was a menace to the health of all the people of Robertsdale and relief was asked for at once. The remedy proposed was to build a projection at right angles to the end of the Robertsdale pier which would form an L out in the lake that would prevent gravel and ice from washing in and clogging up the mouth of the sewer. In this case it was proposed to transfer $750 from the general fund and close a contract with the Great Lakes Dredging company to do the work. Again Councilman Kane objected. He refused to consider the recommendations of the board of public works, and said that he would not vote for the measure until he had an opportunity to investigate for himself. In this case as in the other it was Important that action be taken at once and it was desired that the mat ter be passed at once by a suspension ;of rules instead of allowing the mati ter to go to Its several readings. Kane, however, obstinately refused i . . r - . i i i . ' u oie Iur ,ue im'ltbUie ana 11 was Up to Public Works. The mayor said it was the board j of public works that should deterimine the advisability of those things, j that Mr. Kane did not know hi; j place, that he was jealous of the i power of the board and did not realI utes in which both men were talking at the same time and wildly gesticulating but quiet was finally restored and the work of the council continued.. The ordinance was ordered to its second reading. Walter Hamjnond was awarded the contract to supply the city pumping station with coal for one year. The contract price, was $1. S3 per

ton. j. U. buialley read tne montnly report on the financial condition of the city which was referred to the finance committee. The mayor announced that the appropriations for the year would have to be made before the first meeting in September. Wants Whiting Connection. John Fernell of that portion of j Robertsdale lying on the Whiting! boundary line asked the city to make ! an appropriation of $11,000 for the I laying of a water main from the j nearest Whiting main to the point j of distribution in Robertsdale, it i having been found too costly to con- i i nect with the Hammond main. The j hitch came here when it was learned j that the' people of Whiting wanted Hammond to put in the pipe and they collect all of the water rentals. The ! idea of . investing $11,000 with no prospects of receiving a return on the money did not strike the councilmen as a very businesslike propo sition. They are anxious to aiford the people of Robertsdale the proper relief, however, and Mr. Sshaaf will meet the Whiting council and see if an adjustment of the matter can be made. It was announced by the mayor that since the water meters had been in at Reed Murdoch's there had been only $4 worth of water used in excess of the amount that was paid for before the meter was put in and declared that the company should be exonerated from the charge of stealing water. After hearing some complaints from Mr, Tuaschek about walks and a sewer the council adjourned. Mayor Becker announces that he will call special sessions of the council until the matters of the water pipe contract and the Robertsdale sewer are settled. Love Plant of Went Indies. "Did you ever hear of the love plant?" asked a sea captain who was showing several visitors over his craft the other day. "I have several in the cabin." He showed three small leaves attached to the ceiling by strings. They were without any soil or foundation, but were green, and from each there sprouted a dozen or more little leaves, greener and freslr than the main leaf itself. "During our last cruise In the West Indies," the captain continued, "I visited a deserted English fortress, which was grown over with shrubbery. A native plucked several leaves from a vine and told me to hang them somewhere and write the name of my best girl on them, If they die,' he said, 'she does not love you. If they sprout, she does.' I put my wife's name on one and my two daughters' names on the others. You see, although they have been without nourishment for three months, all three are sprouting well and my family's affections seem assured." Philadelphia Record. Colorn.

Medical experts are calling the attention of the public to the importance of performing the nose blowing operation in a scientific and hveieuie manner. First one nostril nml thon tho nthor should be blown without undue violence. Doctors state that the two nasal passages should never be closed at the same time. If they ara obstructed, as in tne case or a cold, the back of the tnroat is filled with compressed air. and this, together with the discharge and the microbes whieh it fmt.nin may be driven through the eustachial j tube into the middle ear and lead to serious results. A great authority on the subject used to forbid his patients to blow their noses when suffering j from a cold. The course is hardly one ' which will commend Itself to thnio in the habit of catching colds. The best advice would seem to be that when it Is necessary to blow the nose the blowing should be done gently. London Mail.
