SUCCESS IS NOW ASSURED

Plans for Federal Day Progress With Remarkable Facility. ACCEPTICES FLOW IN Banquet Will Be Largely Attended But Afternoon Event Will At tract the Multitude. That the Federal building dedicatory exercises, April 25, will be a splendid success is already assured. With the exception that Judge A. B. Anderson, and Judge E. C. Field, who is credited With being one of the best after-dinner speakers in the state, will not be present, the committee has not met with any disappointments. That everybody Is interested and in sympathy with the plan to in this manner exploit the advantages of the Calumet region, is f!iown by the fait that already the acceptances to the banquet are coming in so fast that the committee may be embarrassed with the difficulty of finding room for them all. There were 420 invitations issued altogether and the committee had estimated that a certain per cent of this number would not hnd it possible or convenient to attend. Instead nearly everybody plans to attend and the acceptances are com ing in so fast that everyone connected with the affair is surprised. Afterooou Popular. However, it is the celebration in the afternoon in which the greatest inter est is shown. It is planned to have a large reception committee on hand to take the visitors all over the building and show them the handsome now structure that Uncle Sam has presented to the people of Hammond. So far the visitors have been few at the Federal building on account of their inability to gain admittance to the new building, and to the vast majority of the people of this city, the first visit to the new postoffice will be a delightful surprise. In fact most of them have no con ception of the beauty of the interior, and it is expected that thousands will take the first opportunity to go through it. Then, too, Congressman Crumpacker will be one of the big attractions of the afternoon ceremonies, and with the music that will be furnished during the afternoon the day should be . delight fully spent. Hundreds of visitors are expected m Hammond on the day of the dedication and if the weather is fine the city will take on a gala appearance. EASTERN STAR LADIES COME TO THE RESCUE. Masons Will He Helped By Mster Order Who Will Serve Banquet In Tent Erected on First Floor of New Building; When Latter is Dedicated The Masons have hit upon a novel plan to provide entertainment for the many friends that are expected to be in the city on the day they dedicate their new home. The ladies of the Eastern Star have decided to have erected on the first floor of the new building a large tent in which a banquet will be served to all of the Masons in attendance. Every effort will be made to make this banqviet all that could be de sired and it is safe to say that the visiting Masons will be favorably im pressed witli the good things that will be laid before them by the nouse-wives of the local Masons. All of the arrangements are being rapidly completed and as the time o the corner stone laying draws near, becomes more and more apparent that the affair is to be a big success. The enterprise or tne local lodge m building in this city is being apprecia ted by the members of the grand lodg and they intenu to indicate their ap proval by their presence at the cele bration. ARREST "CIGARETTE" BAKER Oscar A.

After being employed for 40 y?ars as valet to the male companion cl his own wife, a man named Ruzizka, once wealthy, but now penniless and imbecile, has been received into the municipal workhouse of the town of Agram, in Hungary. Ruzizka, left an orphan with a good deal of property, married la 1803 Camilla Ostvic, a pro fessional singer. Returning from the church, the bride introduced her hus band to Dr. Theodor Sparcek, a lawer. Sparcek brushed the bridegroom aside and walked on ahead, enjoying tete-a-tete with the bride. In a litwhile he turned to the bridegroom ti and informed him that he (Dr. Sparcek) and the bride were going on a loaeymoon trip. The rightful hus band might come, too, if he acted as valet. The husband'3 poor wits seem to have been scattered forever by the announcement. He was helpless, and accompanied his wife on her elopement. In this manner all three lived uneventfully until 1SS5, when the woman died. Dr. Sparcek then lost no time in finding a new "wife," but seemed disinclined to marry himself. Under threats of dismissal from his valetship, the imbecile was obliged to go through the marriage ceremony for the second time. Another 21 years passed quietly, when suspicion wasaroused by Sparcek selling Ruzizka's properties. The guilty lawyer then fled with the second Mme. Ruzizka, leaving his unfortunate "valet" abso lutely penniless. LEFT BIG MAN THINKING. Visitor's Remark Tended to "Swelled Head." Reduce There" are men in high positions in New York who are a credit to them only in their business ability. One of that sort came to the city a dozen or more years ago from a western town, where he made his start. A gentlemen who had known him in his less pretentious days called on him re cently. "I simply called to pay my respects," he said, going a little lame at the reception he received. "I have no axes to grind and no favors to ask. You may have forgotten me, but I met you several times on business visits to your old town, and I thought I'd like to see how you were taking to the metropolis." "Yes, yes," responded the man at the desk, picking up a paper, as if he were very busy, and speaking in the tone of the person who sizes up other people on their material possibilities. And that's all he said. The visitor shook himself and got a fresh hold. "Yes," he said, turning to go, "I called to pay my respects, but I discovered that I don't owe any. Good-morning." Then he walked out, and the big man had a more uncomfortable feeling than had come to him since he had been in the big city. N. Y. Press. WINDOWS BEFORE THE DOOR. Maid's Queer Idea of Providing gress for Firemen. The things people do when they have a fire in the house would make a book full of exceedingly funny reading. The other day there was a fire out on Westminster place, and the maid, as is usual with maids, got very much excited, say3 the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. After the fire was extinguished she was relating incidents and declared that her first thought was to open all the windows. "I went and threw up every window," she said. "But," remonstrated the lady of the house, "why did you do that?" "Why, to let the firemen in," said Mary. "But couldn't they get in through the door?" asked the lady. ''Oh, they never does," said Mary with conviction; "they never waits to go to the door, but jumps in through the windows," and she smiled in thinking of her own presence of mind in remembering the vagaries of firemen. Slight Misunderstanding. Talking of German opera, the London Telegraph relates the story of a lady who brought her little son from the country the other day to witness the pantomime at Drury Lane, and took him by mistake to Covent Garden, where there was a matinee of "Lohengrin." "The opening of the first act," we are told, "was voted dull by both mother and son. But hope shone brightly when Lohengrin, drawn by the swan, appeared, and little Johnny in excitement called out, 'Oh, mother, look at Sinbad chasing the iick.'" Small wonder that "devout Wagnerites." who sat near, -wer jirct-"
