IF ENGLAND waits too long to give Ireland home rule, there won't be enough Irishmen there to fill the offices. , . AN INDIANA girl slipped -her address and name Into the pocket of an army blouse she was making and is now married to a soldier. Are we to construe this as a hint to Indiana spinsters or as a warning to soldiers? '

THE lawyer who will advise and judge who will permit a criminal """"i o plead guilty to a crime in a lesser

degree than the case actually calls for are enemies to the state. They encourage crime and work disaster to the efforts of those who devote their lives to helping the man who is down. Short term prisoners are apt to be careless and independent. There is little inducement for them to change their ways if .they are not amenable to moral suasion and they are seldom benefitted by such terms. ACCORDING to recent reports from Indianapolis, the entrance of organized labor into politics indicates that in the campaign for election of congres$men, the business element Intends to solidify against labor candidates, and both parties are disavowing an alliance with labor. Roth parties have said they would be glad to have labor support their candidate, but. have also forcibly declared that the party could not possibly make a labor fight. A large contractor is reported to have said: "Organized labor carries a weight into politics that no party can afford to have saddled upon it. The union .13 overbearing in its business relations and exceedingly unpopular with the employers, so you will find that employer Voting against his men more often -than with them. You won't find any party openly allied with labor and if a secret alliance is suspected, it will mean the defeat of the man that labor champions." LECTURE COURSE FOR HAMMOND Believing that Hammond should be abreast of the times and that a popular lecture and entertainment course should be given each winter, a number of our prominent business and professional men have organized themselves into an informal committee to be "known as the Hammond Lecture association. A contingent contract has been entered into with the International Lecture association of Chicago to supply a superior course, and the representative of this association, L. J. Bates of Chicago, is now in the city making a preliminary canvass to ascertain the sentiment of the people of Haram.nid on this proposition. Mr. Bates has now proceeded far enough with his canvass to assure us that there Is absolutely no question that the course will be placed in Hammond, and be an undoubted success. He reports he has never met with a brighter and more intelligent class 3f people that he has in Hammond, and that his reception in every in-

j stance has been of the most cordial i nature. .

Dr. Weis has very kindly consented to act as local treasurer of th committee. Owing to the great popularity of the course there will undoubtedly be a surplus after paying all expenses and this will be used for some local purpose to be determined by the committee. The citizens who took the initiative in the mattei are certainly to be congratulated and deserve the enthusiastic support of all well wishers for Hammond. WITH THE EDITORS. A Philadelphia judge has held that a comic valentine may be libelous. The public knew that long ago. But j they are more than libelous, they are j coarse and vulgar, and from the most ' innocent to the most noxious are vllelv bad taste. If Mr. Anthony Comstock would turn his attention,' from a crusade of the nude in art! to these examples of the nude in calumny, he might not be as spectacular, but he would be lining the world of morals a real service. Duluth News-Tribune. The popular subscription, plan of raising campaign expense money doesn't seem to create very much en thusiasm. The Bryan reception! committee has been finding it difficult to raise a decent sum according to the suggestion of the peerless leader. Republicans . .confess that the call for dollar subscriptions as a means of creating a fund for the congressional elections is not bringing the response that it should. If the politics of the nation is to be conducted on the dollar plan hereafter it may be necessary to extend suffrage to women. Could women vote and were the dollar offerings marked down to 9 8 cents there would surely be a heartier response. Lafayette Journal. Between Trains Fred Frank wants a pension because he was kicked by a mule during the Spanish-American war. If the securing of the pension depends upon Frank's ability to prove that the mule's name was Maud, he will doubtless get it. The union and non-union insurance companies have come to an understanding in Indiana. Now if the republicans and democrats could do the same thing what a pleasant election we could hold next fall. The four hundred of. Gary is now organized. We are how Waiting to hear of the first society scandal. Jt costs $167,060,171 to run the city government of New York for one year. The report does not show who gets the extra dollar. Sheriff Sourbier of Indianapolis, emptied all the illicit beer and whiskey that had been sold in the neighborhood of Ft. Benjamin Harrison. Sourbier ought to know what the stuff tastes like. Miss Olga Oroloff, prima donna of a comic opera company, has begun a crusade against tights. She says they are insanitary, and it is only a question of time until they will be obsolete. Miss Oroloff ought to know. Her acquaintance with tights is intimate and of long standing. "The ordinary girl is made sick by her first week of wearing tights." said she. "When tights are worn properly, which is a strain of 120 pounds to the square inch on the silk downward from the waist line. delicate girl cannot stand it. "I. myself, was laid up last season from lameness caused by tights A suit of extremely close tight one: made me sore. I caught cold and couldn't walk for a week. A German newspaper correspond ent at Tokio, speaking of the propc sit ion to put all of the railroads o! Japan into the hands of the government, says that the people have abundant reason for disapproving of the scheme, for the reason that oik branch now belonging to the government that from Tokio to Kobe is ; model of mismanagement. Sleeping accomodations must be reserved days ahead; the cars, even those of the first class, are overcrowded, anr: the officials are careless about attending to their duties. There is no consideration for the non-smokers, though the natives of both sexes smoke incessantly. Heating and lighting are of the most primitive description. It is feared that state contro' will reduce all the roads to this level and that the rates will be raised, as a new form of taxation. The value of competition is illustrated on the line from Tokio to Yokohama, which, for the first time, has put n a real express trains that cover the distance in half an hour, the cause of this new departure being a rival eiectr'-: line

"And he has the smartest looking trap you ever saw Madge! It's champagne colored and a perfect love. What (1) you l et I don't land him. trap and all, before the summer's flown by?" ; Mis Irene Warden, a beauty (and aware of it), was writing to her girl chum concerning the bachelor who had just taken the bl? colonial house witb the carriage road and iron archway i which for several seasons now had abandoned hope of usefulness. She was writing by an open wludow where the scent of the roe came up from the frjnt garden. Beyond lay the pretty tree lined ronG over which the bachelor and his chnmpogne colored trap had just flown by. "Although I've told you his name Is Horace Mattock." ran on Miss War- ; dcu's pe:i, ' I haven't told you what he j look1? like. He's an old man, forty or fifty. I should say. Mrs nose is rather too big, although people call him handsome, and he's a bit bald, but, then. I suppose, most men who live In big '. houses and drive smart traps have big j noses. What?" Miss Warden smiled i a little soft smile into the glass above j her dressing table and then bent over her portfolio again: "Of course I'd prefer dear old Tom. lie's young and stunning and sings college songs so beautifully, but, as you know, he hasn't a red! And I real ly must do something this summer. Madge. My already meager allowance will be cut considerably in the autumn, for in September pa's going to enter the matrimonial game himself a horrid, designing widow tool So I must 'step lively,' In the parlance of street car officials. "In point of fact, though," pursued the voluble pen, "It'll be pretty easy, plain sailing. I haven't a single good looking rival up in this out of the way place except old Trofessor Thornton's daughter, and she's the quietest poke of a girl a regular stay nt home. And as for dressing well, Madge, you and I spend as much on our gloves and veils, 1 reckon, as she does on her whole outfit. That's what comes from having a bookworm for a father." The next week In the little village postoffice a friend presented Mr. Horace Matlock to Miss Irene Warden. Apparently the meeting was by accident, but Miss Warden felt her smooth cheeks flush, and her habitual composure was rippled for a second, while, for his part, Mr. Matlock scarcely looked at her and, having passed a conventional "glad to meet you," lifted his hat politely and walked out to his smart little trap. "I had on my clilc voile, the, one Aunt Tessie sent me from Talis, you know," wrote Miss Warden to Madge, "and my big white hat with flopping fuchsias. But it was all rank waste." She couldn't understand it. Her dreams hadn't ended that way at all. One day In the tiny idle little bank Mr. Horace Matlock stopped short as he recognized a stooped, gaunt figure with a patrician face. "Why, it's Professor Thornton, isn't it?" he cried, stepping up to him with a cordially outstretched hand. When Matlock years ago had entered Yale as a freshman Thornton had been tutoring, and quite a friendship had sprung up between them. Subsequently they had lost track of each "other. But the satisfaction of the younger mau In meeting the older one again was genuine. "Poor oldfprofessor! How thin and worn fiuxl aged he's become!" thought Matlock as he drove the professor home to his modest little cottage. Out In the cottage'3 side yard by the hollyhocks 'a girl was picking a great bunch of sweet peas for the lunch table. When she heard the smart little trap stop at the gate she looked quickly up from the blossoming vines and wondered. Who was the distinguished looking stranger? And where had he picked up dear daddy? A few days later Matlock drove up to the cottage agaiu. It was only decent, he told himself, that he should show the professor some attention and take him driving now and then. Perhaps some day also he would take the professor's daughter. lie liked her. He liked the natural, unabashed way in which she had acknowledged her father's presentation of him, witli her sleevea rolled up and her arms full of sweet peas; he liked the width between her eyes, the breadth of her brow, the linos of her mouth. She was less pretty than many young girls, but there was about her a freshness, a sweetness, that pleased him. and he had no ticed that her figure in her simple little gown was well molded aud slim. One evening toward twilight, when out lu the open lawn bats were whirling aimlessly aud tirelessly, Matlock dropped in upon the professor to make him a little call. He had fetched him his afternoon mail as pretext. While they were sitting out on the porch from the shadowy little parlor came the first chord of Beethoven's beautiful "Moonlight Sonata." "That's Cynthia." said Professor Thornton In answer to his guest's start of surprise. "Sloe's neTer too tired, no matter how hard or Ions the day has been, to play that sonata for me in the evening. I leve it above all other written music, and she never forgets." Then while the tree tnads droned their harmonies he told Matlock a little about his daughter how four years ago he had suffered a paralytic stroke and she had been obliged to leave school In hr graduating year and nurse him uicht and day, with untiring

sweetness; how, when the!r slender In- j come was exhausted a year back. sb j had begun to make use of her musical j skill aud give lessons on the piano. And when the professor told of Cynthia's triweekly trips to Adams, tb j nearest town, bis silvered head went down on his coat sleeve, and in thf i gloaming behind the honeysuckles thitwo men Were silent. Presently they smoked their usual ci- I gars and indulged in their usual conversation newspaper topics chopped fine by individual opinion, a good del', of politics, a little of art and science. Last of all. Cynthia came out. "Delighted!" she said, going prettilj up to Matlock with outstretched hand? ; "While you two have been gosslpina f I've been remembering your weakness for tea and have drawn you a cup. ; Will you come la, or shall we have It ! out here?" ' They went in. Near the little fern j screened fireplace was a tea table, j dainty in its array of polished silver i and thin china. The banging lamp shed the rich, soft glow of olive oil,

and there was an air of intimate home likeness about everything. Matlock had been a stranger to that, sort of thing for so long that it sent a kind of thrill shivering through him. After all. to have a cozy tea table and a slim white hand to inclose In yours Cynthia's hands were slim and whita enough as they moved among the china in the half light. He pulled a chair close for the professor, and then sat down himself. Before Mr. Horace Matlock went to bed that night he remembered that ou the morrow Cynthia Thornton was to drive with him in his champagne colored trap. How it would harmonize with her soft hair before the ambitious sun touched it to gold! What a dear, womanly little treasure of girlish brightness ghe was, anyhow! Cynthia only returned from Adams the next day a half hour before her drive and was, consequently, a bit tired. She was not one to make conversation, and the quiet and beauty of the scenes stretched out before her made her very silent. Matlock, as he handled the reins, watched both her and the landscape. There was a certain peace about them both. And peace was, above all things, what ho wanted. The next day Miss Warden wrote to her girl chum again: "In the beginning of the summer, Madge, dear, I wrote you that a certain matrimonial venture would bo 'easy, plain sailing. Alas! I'm afraid I shall never find port not, at least, with my bachelor up on the hill. And In the name of wonders, who of , all people do you suppose has taken tha wind out of my sails? Cynthia Thornton, the old bookworm's daughter! He had her out driving In that little beauty of a trap three times during the last week to- my knowledge! I'm afraid Cupid Isn't very kind to me. You'll find I'll die an old maid after all, unless Tom" At this point Mis3 Warden's pretty teeth absently" caught the top of hep penholder, while she looked dreamily toward the, sunny, tree lined street. Then she began to hum. As she started on the fourth bar of her song a champagne colored trap Bklmmed by. In it was the charming bachelor, and by his side was Cynthia Thornton. CASHIER H. W. HERING SURRENDERS DENIES CHARGES. Paul 0. Stensland of Milwaukee Avenue Bank is Still at Large and Being Looked For. (Special to Lake County Times.) Chicago, Aug. 9. Henry W. Hering, cashier of the defunct Milwaukee avenue bank, put in a voluntary appearance before the Chicago bank officials today. Speaking for himseli and the president, Paul O. Stensland, he denied every accusation made against them about misappropriating the funds of the' bank. Stensland is still at large. Hering. although charged with embezzling large sums of money, is being partly exonerated on account of the lack of direct proof against hlm;;,At the same time culpability for the crimes which have brought the far reaching disaster on the Northwest Side is narrowing more and more to Paul O.' Stensland. RAISING FUND FOR HANN0N. The friends of Thomas Hannon at Whiting have started a fund which is to be used in the latter's defense. Honnon pleaded guilty to the murder of Jack Lannon at Gary a week ago yesterday. He is practically penniless although he has many ; friends who want to stand by him now that he is In need. Attorney Joseph Conroy has been retained as Hannon's lawyer, who will appear in the September term of court.
