OVER THE 2 DEADLY SCHISM SB ITS HE1D Organization of Gentle Sobriquet Experiences a Split. , A schism has entered into that organization of the gentle named, "The Fern Leaf Club." The club has been disrupted, or to be more exact, has decided to disagree- and one half of it pursues the even tenor of Its way down one path, while the other half finds a shady way in an opposite direction. Just what was the nature of the trouble could not be learned this morning, but the fact that "The Fern Leaf Club" met yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. David Johnson in Clinton etreet and played cards, and that another Fern Leaf Club chose to meet with Mrs. Robert Boyle, 25 State street, suggested that there might be ructions. Inquiry developed the fact that there were ructions. As the club possessed considerably l'-ss than a score of members originally, It may be seen that both wings are seriously crippled by the division, but the members are game and both factions proposed to go it alone and form the nucleus of two better and wiser clubs into which the deadly schism may not enter. Both clubs claim to be the "Original .Fern Leaf club" and the accounts of their doings follow: The members of the Fern Leaf club met yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. David Johnson in Clinton street for a pleasant afternoon with cards. Several games of pedro were played and the honors were won by Mesdamea . W. Zeigler and F. Hartman. At the close of the afternoon a delicious lunch- , eon was served from tables trimmed with simlax and carnations. Guests at the party yesterday afternoon were: Mesdames Subie, Gavit of So. Chicago, Merrifield and Frollie of Chicago. The club will meet again next Thursday afternon with Mrs. Will Zeigler in South Hohman street.

It is twelve ft-et long and four feet wide, without any gradus the six great candlesticks, with a crucifix of corresponding size, stand ing alone upon it, as at St. , Peter's in Rome, in perfect simplicity. The" baldachino, on the other hand. is a gorgeous piece of work on which no labor or expense has been spared. It consists entirely of marble, decorated lavishly with lapis lazuli and mother of pearl. It is supported on eight great pillars of yellow Veron ese marble. The pillars are iriumpns of quarrying. ..Nothing of the kind has ever been attempted before and it was doubtful whether columns of such proportions could be produced in single pieces. They rest upon handsome plinths of verde antico inset with panels of purple brescia. At the top of the pillars magnificent capi tals of white marble support a perfect marble canopy. The platform beside the altar and the steps leading to the "core" are beautifully inlaid with panels of brescia. But no description or photograph or drawing can convey an idea of the wonderful flood of irrldescent light which is reflected from the altar when fully illuminated. The baldachino was intended by the architect to be the jewel of the cathedral, and his aim has been realized. The brilliance of the effect is, of course, heightened by the sombre color of the brick walls around and the vastness of the cathedral. The baldachino is forty feet in height or as high as an ordinary three story house, but is nevertheless in perfect proportion and harmony with the great building. It will serve also to indicate to those who cannot hope to see the completion of the cathedral what a magnificent place it will be when it is finished. London Tribune. WILL BE BURIED SATURDAY. The funeral services of Peter Geib will be held tomorrow morning a't 10 o'clock at the St. Joseph's Catholic church. After the services the remains wJ11 be buried in the Oak Hill cemetery.

Knotts returned last night from Indianapolis where he had been mixing with state legislators in the interest of his light with the Bell Tele phone company.

Mr. Knotts awnts to force the Bell Telephone company to give him out of town connection when his independent system is established in Garv.

With this he prepared the way for his measure which should give him outside connection by law. BOX GAR BUB UUES fire 1X1 bleepiIlS Quarters 01 C, C. & L. Laborers Proves Destructive.

Promoters of Indiana Federal Court Bill Lay Down Their Arms. 100 HUGH OPPOSE Democrats Unfriendly and Term of Congress Short Matter Will Go By Default. The Indiana federal court bill which wasto insure Hammond a local branch of the United States court, is prac tically dead. It is after months of hard fighting that Representatives Crumpacker, Foster and Holiday, the chief promoters of this bill, are about ready to admit that their cause is hopeless. The attitude of the democratic members, who are said to be following the leadership of Repre sentative Dixon, is hostile to the measu re. While the state at large was to have been benefited by the operation of the proposed new federal courts in In diana, Hammond, South Bend, Fort Wayne and possibly Terre Haute would have been the seats of the courts. It is doubtful whether the bill will ever be revived in any future session of congress during the present term. It is hard for the Indiana men to in terest the entire house in it and this session, closing on the fourth of March, it was forced aside to give place to legislation that is of consequence to the whole country. In order that the bill should have easier sailing, conferences were m progress this week looking to the pos sible passage, but they failed utterly. Besides the need of broader legisla tion in this short session of congress, guarantees of amendments offered an other large stumbling block. Mr. Dix on, the democratic leader against the measure, wanted a guarantee that the senate would not make an amendment for an additional federal judge. Messrs. Holiday and Foster refused to ma'' any promises ana mxon gave none that he would oppose the measure in which he was readily joined by his democratic followers. On his recent visit to Hammond Nels Jacobson, Representative Crumpacker's secretary, foretold that . there would be no possible chance for the bill. . Whether it will ever be revived Is at IhiVtime a matter of doubt, as It it would have to be reintroduced. FITZGERALD DEflTS HIS COMPETITORS Ships the First Carload of Denatured Alcohol Into Chicago. John E. Fitzgerald, president of the Hammond Distilling company, has just succeeded in a coup on the other dis tillers in the west by getting the first carload of denatured alcohol into Chi cago. Tha others had begun building their plants weeks before Mr. Fitzgerald but he rushed tiie work on his build mgs, and alter bringing an expert out from Chicago to analyze his product, lie was able to ship a carload of the alcohol to Chicago before any of his competitors. As a result all of the manufacturers who have been eagerly waiting for the first shipments of the denatured alco hol, were compelled to look to the Hammond distiller for it. The Hammond Distilling company lias since been deluged with orders, as it has become known as the only firm that actually has the new product on the market. Mr. Fitzgerald said last night that it would be necessary to increase the capacity of the plant at once in order to supply the demand, and this will be done in the near future. Mr. Fitz gerald is pleased with his success in scoring a beat on all of the distillers in the vicinity of Chicago and believes that it will be equal to hundreds of dollars of advertising to him to have the denatured alcohol users realize that his Hammond plant was the first to supply them with this most useful liquid.

BRINGING IN THE BOAR'S HEAD. The ancient ceremony of bringing in the boar's head attracted a large gathering to the hall of Queen's college, Oxford, on Christmas day. The head weighed 67 pounds and was crowned and bedecked with bays and rosemary. The call to dinner was given by tiie sound of a trumpet (a custom coeval with the foundation) and the boar's head, on a massive silver dish was borne by servitors of the college from the kitchen, the visitors standing on either side and leaving an open space in the center of the hall for the procession. From the London Tribune.

MOISTURE EFFECTS CHAMPAGNE Champagne poured into a damp glass atmospheric moisture alone is often sufficient to cause the dampness will, as a rule, go "flat" at once, while wine poured from the same bottle into a dry glass, or a glass in which there may be a little surface roughness or few imperceptible particles of dust, will retain its effervescence. It fol lows that when the "mousse" is nor mal in the bottle, the wine should not be condemned as "flat" because it fails to sparkle in the glass. In nine cases out of ten it is the glass, not the bot tle, that should be changed. London Graphic. MUD STALLS FIRE DEPARTMENT. Michigan City, Jan. 10. A new record has been set for up-to-date cities in having muddy streets. In Michigan City Diamond street is so soft that hose wagon of the fire depart ment was stalled on its way to a fire yesterday afternoon.

A few hunts of this kind will cause the rats to leave. Ferrets are easily kept and will live on bread and milk, or almost anything a cat or dog will eat. West ern Agriculturist. JEWS m POLITICS.
