Gary News

M. C. Fryslnger, of Indiana Tlarbor, attend! to legal Interests he has here, this afternoon. Gary Oyter Bar. Served In any style, at all hours. Pronpect avenue and Broadrray. Frank Keiland, prop. Ingwald Jloe, the general contractor, has kindly consented to send over a couple of men to erect an additional chimney In the Land company's building, the small one now doing service being entirely Inadequate. The trustee of the first ward, Caldwell, spent part of this afternoon at the Land company's office, getting a line on a possible location for himself and family in the residence section. It will no doubt.be an important question to many if not all of the employes, to secure a proper location that will not cost them more than they can readily afford. Today witnessed an increase in attendance at the Central schools of five and several more are due to begin at an early date. Mr. Muzzall, the truant officer, stopped here today and promised to return some time next week. Hia attention Is needed here, some of the people seeming to carry the impression that Just because it is Gary, they needn't be so careful. The telephone company completed the connections this afternoon and the Land company can now be reached by phone, as well as the postmaster, the president of the town board, the town clerk and the president of the school board, who have their dices in the Land company's building here. This brings the municipal organization into touch with the outside world although It Is necessary to go by way of Chicago in order to make it. The Wabash company are erecting a temporary freight depot at some dis tance west of Broadway north of their tracks. This will take care of the temporary needs in the freight line. By spring they expect to be ready to build a large passenger depot east of Broadway south of the tracks. Arrangements are being made for their theatre train to stop here Sunday evenings and If completed will prove quite a boon to those who wish to come out later than 6:29 on the Lake Shore. The Blome company completed, this afternoon, the granitoid work on Broadway as far north as Fourth avenue. This will probably conclude this part of the work until early spring, by which time the sewera and water pipes will be in and they can go ahead with the work undisturbed. During the winter men will be busy getting the material hauled out on Fifth avenue and the part of Broadway unfinished, ready for completion as soon as possible. Emil Hoffman, Jack Growblls, George Movasl, Joe Saphronichk, Mike Michael, Charles Horvat, Swan Nelson, Charles Saunders, Dan Henry, Joe Clansy, Wm. Floey and "Harry" Gordon, constitute the recent additions to Marshal Chamber's roll of honor. The last named by the way did not get to occupy a steel cell, an honor which was conferred on the rest of the list. Wm. Saunders was a foul-mouthed drunk, who toppled into the river last evening and was fished out by one of Krug's brakemen who chanced to be passing at the moment. Harry Gordon, formerly of Whiting, was hauled before 'Judge Fitzgerald about ten o'clock last evening by Officers Martin and Catey. He gave bond to appear on Tuesday next and answer the charges against him. He was very much offended at being offered a place In one of the cells with several of his vis Urns. The contract for the erection of the additional one hundred houses has been let to the Falkneau Construction company, who have the present contract for the three hundred now being built. The Falkneau company bought some forty million feet of lumber in the south several months ago and owing to the raise in price since they made their purchase, they were enabled to underbid all of their competitors. This makes a large addition to the work they already have In hand and will necessitate an enlargement of their local force. The latest Innovation at the Falkneau camp is a largo bell mounted in a tower on the office building. It is used to let the men at different points know the hours of commencing and quitting work. If Hammond people would hear it they would get the impression that their Methodist church bell had been confiscated. STONY ISLAND.

The entertainment to be given by the Young Ladies' Sodality for the benefit of the church, will be held to night and tomorrow evening. John Pfelfer was called to the bed side of his brother, Peter Pfeifer at Whiting, who is suffering from a par alytic stroke. He regained consider able strength yesterday, and there are hopes for his recovery. East Chicago Messrs. Sherman and Donohue of Crown Point were In town yesterday on business. Work of dismanteUng the 16th mill of the Republic Iron and Steel com pany was started this morning. Miss Eva Berkley and Miss Dora Wolf of Chicago are spending a few days with Mrs. Moses Specter.

Musik will be plenty and gud, and a grate time is promist. "ALA, TEDDY & ANDY." Messrs. Krill. Moon, Lewis Ottenheimer and Silverman attended the annual social session of the Elks lodge No. 4 of Chicago, at' Brookes casino Judging from the time the men returned a fine time was had. The "Return of the Cowboy," the first show which has been held in East Chicago for several months, attracted quite a crowd last night at Tod opera house. Most of the seats were occu pled, and the play seemed to be en joyed by all present. Louis Greenfield, one of the owners of the Atlas billiard hall, was in Chicago yesterday and purchased a $1,200 soda fountain for his new store. The fountain will be Installed Immediately and they will sell Thompson & Reid's ice cream. With the placing of this founiain the new billiard parlor will be complete and will be one of the best places of Its kind in town. The Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago Street Railway company is now planning a "Y" on Exchange ave nue, where It will make the turn when coming from Whiting. A great deal of discussion has been indulged in relative to this matter, petitions hav ing been gotten up asking the com pany . to make the turn on certain streets. The company has, however taken the matter in its own hands and placed the "Y" as above mentioned. The announcement was ma3e today whereby the firm name of the De La mar Copper Refining company was changed to the "United States Metals Refining company." The advent of this plant marks a new era in the lead refining process, it being the first and only one of Its kind using the electro lytic process in the United States. A simple explanation of this process is the passing of an electric current through a solution of acid in which the bullion is refined. This Is a special acid, manufactured by this company exclusively. The acid plant being one of the largest departments and features of the works. The magic growth of this company, originated last February, at which time ground was broken, upon which now stands substantial brick buildings all equipped with the most modern appliances. In addition to the company maintaining its own electric light plant it also operates and controls an independent fire department. This company, now not operating under normal conditions, employs over one hundred men, which number will be greatly increased when all details are completed and its working force is fully established.

Hish Art and H airpms By IZOLA FORRESTER Copyright. by Ruby Douglaa o o "Mr. Asquith is out by himself yet," said the tailor who had his shop on the ground floor of Washington square. He held the door half open, and Helene paused with one foot on the narrow flight of 6talrs leading to the studio. She was frankly disappointed to have come so far for nothing. She hesitat ed, glancing back doubtfully at the waiting cab. "Did he say when he would be back?" "lie not ever say when," answered the tailor positively, with sweeping Hungarian assertion. "He goes, then he cornea again. The door is open." "Then I think that I shall wait." Helene smiled with sudden pleasure. I am sure he will come 6oon. He must have expected me and left the door open." "Sure he must," agreed the tailor cordially. It was entirely probable. If there had been the slightest chance of IT WA3 MERELY A HATBPIS. the descent of such a radiant young goddess aa this he had no doubt but what Mr. Asquith lived in a state of perpetual expectancy. Helene went quickly upstairs. At the second flight there was no landing. The top step ended abruptly at a door, and the ceiling sloped In an angle to meet the top of the door. She lifted the old fashioned latch and looked in, her heart beating faster. The studio was empty. For an Instant she hesitated. She had never been In his studio. It seemed like an Intrusion Into some intimate, personal part of his life in which she, with all his love for her, had no share. But because of that very privacy she wanted to intrude. She wanted to see how he lived, here In his own little den where he did his work, the work that was to win him fame and fortune before the world, the den where he dreamed his dreams of the future In which she had so great a 6hare. She pushed the door farther open. lifted her soft light skirt of silk higher from the dusty stair and went Into the studio, closing the door after her. It was a half ceiled attic, the nearest approach to a Parisian atelier that Asquith could find in New York. There was a skylight In the high peaked roof, and wide, heavy cross beams visible to the naked eye marked the eaves line. There was no burlap on the walls, no Turkish rugs on the floor, no Dutch shelves nor steins, not even a taboret or samovar. It was simply a work shop. A huge black walnut easel stood crosswise, facing the north light. Before it stood a rush bottomed chair and a low table littered with brushes, paint tubes and half mixed colors. A dingy, well daubed blouse lay over the back of the chair and a pipe half smoked rested on the easel ledge. Helene saw it all at one glance and laughed Joyous ly, tremulously. She had never felt her self so near to him as now. What a boy he was, after all, and how funny he must look in that old blouse. She sat down in the rush bottomed chair and leaned her head back against the sleeve of the blouse. The walls were bare except for half finished charcoal and pen and Ink stud ies, with here and there a water color. The black and white studies were strange to her, but the landscapes all bore the same straggling signature. Hugh Asquith. That was all. Not a single Venus, not a cast of anything in sight Asquith was strictly a landscape artist and did not paint the figure. Vaguely she had been pleased that he did not. Of course if one were devoted to art and must paint the figure, then one must have models, and models must necessarily be beautiful, and Right there Helene's logic ended, but It was sufficient. She was glad that Asquith was a landscape artist and did not require any model save old Mother Nature. She drew off her long mousquetaire gloves with a sigh of content On the third finger of her left hand sparkled a diamond. It had been there over a month now. With a sudden impulse as the gloves slipped to the floor she press ed the ring against her lips. It stood for so mtich more than a mere engago- , ment They had known each other

long time, two seasons, and she had met him every winter at dinners and swell dances. But this summer It had been different. Asquith said It was fate. Helene thought it the most delicious bit of maneuvering love had ever managed. The rest of the family had gone to Europe. Helene had hesitated. Between an automobile tour of Brittany and the Baltic coast and a quiet summer with her married cousin at Larehmont she had chosen Larchmont Asquith was a member of the yacht club at Larchmont. Every morning from the broad veranda at Bayview cottage she could see him out on the rocks, sketching before sunrise. They were splendid rocks, huge, gaunt and gray; they rose raggedly from the water at low tide, like the bodies of some submerged sea monsters. One could walk to them easily, stepping over little pools left by the tide and stray strands of seaweed, and one morning Helene walked to them, slim and sweet and fresh as the dawn in her white dress and white low shoes. It was the shoes that did It. When Asquith turned at her call for help he found her standing In one of the pools, and the white shoes wrere ruined. Helene glanced up at the wall. A little water color hung near her, some gray rocks In a rose tinted sea, with a

bit of salt marsh In the foreground. She smiled at it happily. They had sat up there together that morning, and she had taken off her shoes and stockings the precious ruined shoes and stockings and that had been all. And Asquith had said it was fate. She laughed again. lie was such a boy, after all. She stopped to pick up her gloves and stopped short to look at something lying on the floor at her feet It was merely a hairpin. She picked It up and looked at it curiously. Her own hairpins were brown tortoise shell ones to match her hair. This one was gold, a small, Insidious gold wire affair, very cheap and very dainty. The laugh was gone from her lips. In its place was a look of wonderment, of almost fear. There had been a wo man in nugh's studio, a woman with blond hair, who wore gold wire hair pins, who dropped gold wire hairpins around promiscuously. And Hugh had told her he never painted the figure, More than that, he had told her that no one knew of his den In the attic ex cept herself and a few close friends He had no patrons, no buyers of pic tures, because as yet he had never sold any. All of his relatives were in Europe too. If the hairpin did not belong to a model, whom did it belong to? With a sudden fierce impulse, she threw the hairpin away from her. It fell with a tiny clink against the wall. Almost instantly she had repented. After all, It ws purely a personal affair with Hugh, In which she had no part. He had not expected her to visit hit. studio. She had no right to resent another element of femininity which she had found there. Even if he did have models it was probably necessary. All artists had to study from life sooner or later. But was It necessary that they should have hair that matched gold hairpins? She arose and crossed the room to where the hairpin had fallen. For a moment she held it in her hand irresolute. Then slowly she laid It on his table, and beside It she left the new solitaire ring. It would be enough. She knew that he would understand. As she turned to the door her eyes filled with a sudden rush of blinding tears, and as she felt for the latch it lifted and the door opened. It was not Asquith. On the landing outside stood a girl, plump, rosy cheek ed and red haired, holding up her 6kirts In one band and a pall of scrub water in the other. "Oh, I thought Mr. Asquith was home," she said apologetically. "I Just cleaned up his place, ma'am, and I guess I lost one of my hairpins. It's a little wire one, but I need it to keep my pug up tight." "I laid It on the table," said Helene gently. The girl set the pall down on the stairs and secured the hairpin, fas tening up her tumbling red curls with it deftly. "Thank you, ma'am," she called as she went downstairs, and Helene went back to the table and slipped the ring In its old place just as Asquith came up the stairs. Booth and the Flah Line. Of Edwin Booth Mr. Whitney re lates the following anecdote: "In fish ing he would exhibit the impetuosity of a Petruchlo, and this cost me sev eral rods, which broke into smithereens over small trout He got in one day from a neighboring town a new, fairly good bamboo. fly rod, which I assisted him in setting up, arranging the ree and line and pliable soaked leader, and left him afterward noosing on a scar let Ibis. The rod was lying on the din Ing room table. I was no sooner out of the rooms on the porch when I heard a tremendous rumpus in the dining room and, entering, found Booth flying about the room like a madman. He had left his fly hanging over the side of the table, which the half grown fam Ily cat present seeing, struck at with Its paw, which the sharp hook caught In, and the frightened cat bolted under the table with rapid speed, breaking the rod tip and dragging the rod after, while Booth, crying "Scat cat." tad no effect on the now crazed feline which he was following after in great excitement at high pressure with ad Jectives of singular note. The sequei of this was the esca of the cat with the gaudy fly well hooded in Its foot, and a well smashed tip rod. I was too much convulsed, with the others drawn in by the commotion, to render any aid, and Booth soon Joined in with our laughter, confessing that his fishing experience was a failure and that he would not have aay more of If Forest and Stream.
