It Is generally safe to size up the Respectability and intelligence of a community by the size and prosperity o Its lodge In Masonry. One does not need to be a Mason to use Masonry as a basis of estimation. The fact is conceded that Masons are almost invariably good, clean citizens and intelligent men. A nourishing Masonic lodgo In a town Is therefore a reasonably good criterion and a reassuring fact to tho Inquiring stranger. Hammond has a Masonic lodge it may well bo proud of. As tho handsome structure whose corner stone laying Is being celebrated today is reared, Hammond will need no further evidence of its desirability as a place of residence. Not but what it has other evidences In plenty, but the Masonic temple will serve as a mute testimonial, proclaiming for itself the fact that here In this Industrial center is gathered a largo community of citizens who are a credit to themselves and to their town. "When one looks back over the years and considers that within the last couple of decades the Blue lodge has grown to 215 members, with almost a half hundred more eligibles clamoring for admission, one has the story of the march of progress in this city in a nutshell. The pioneers In Masonry in this section of the county exemplify the truth of the theory above promulgated. Foremost In the community in the early days thoy have held their positon throughout the Intervening years and today stand for what Is best in the business and social life of Hammond and all that makes for progress in a city. They Include such men as M. M. Towle, F. R. Mott and W. II. Gostlin. all citizens upon whom Hammond looks with pride. Tho Influence of Garfield lodgo can be estimated In the character of Its gruesta of honor, who embrace not only the most prominent Masons In the state of Indiana, but one of the foremost figures in the nation's life, Charles W. Fairbanks, second In tho administration today and a strong candidate for the presidency. Tho event that is being celebrated this afternoon and evening stands alone in the history of northern Indiana. It Is unique, both in the fact of the handsome building which is being dedicated and in tho prominence of the guests who are In attendance. Within one week Hammond lias been distinguished by two remarkable occasions that many a municipality of much larger area and population than this city, might well envy. Last week witnessed tho dedication of the handsomest and most costly postofllce building in northern Indiana. Today the hosts are gathered to participate in the corner stone laying of the finest Ma sonic tomple within a corresponding area. Hammond does not, as a rule, do things in a half way fashion, but It has especial reason to felicitate it self upon these two great occasions. Within so short a time. NO ADVICE NEEDED. Editor Lako County Times. Who is this "Father" Angelo that seems so an xious to Introduce the French system of courtship into this country? I am aware of but two good things we ever got from the French: Lafayette and a really excellent recipe for preparing frog legs for tho table. When it comes to courtship certainly tho volatile inhabitants of la belle France can not give the American youth a single valuable pointer. Tho chaperoning proposition could not bo made to work here for a minute. Any chaperon try ing to control or direct the course of lover young dream in the case of the av-rago American boy and girl, would be very likely to find herself bundled unceremoniously into the most con v-nl'mt clothes closet, with the key on the oatBld. It hi always been difficult for me l'i ISfst'm vlth patience to solemn counKlvn by childless fathers, of church t,t laity, n-ijardlng the correct method t,t hr'ihiitn-r up a family of children. An iA'i rr.uid'n advice to a mother with ).r t'itb child. as to tho better means of ovirtornlnir th little one's attack of mumps or m'-ueiea is about as edifying fend equally vuhmbl. Ko, I eruess we will have to pass up the proposition offered by the gentle -

man with the name like that of a familiar picture, and ask him to coach us up on something easier for him. Something he knows more about. Let him tell us for instance, how they catch a rich Yankee girl wita simply the aid of a spavined title and a waxed moustache, or how to content our wives with a five dollar hat that the Frenchmen ask fifty for und set. V.'e beg Mr. Ang-elo to remember, and never let the knowledge get away from him, that we boys and girls in this country do our wooing and wedding pretty much to suit ourselves, and tnough we sometimes make mistakes we can, I guarantee, show ten happy homes to his Frenchmen's one. It may sound a little harsh to the -gentleman, but I cannot resist the temptation to add that the young man who 13 content to do his wooing by proxy the French method need not feel surprised or annoyed if his future family is secured to him very largely along similar lines. SIMPLEX.

DEADLY CROSSING THE CAUSE. Barring Porter county, whose death roll by railroad accidents was swelled to sixty-six by reason of the Woodvllle wreck in which sixty-two lives were lost, it is humiliating to note that Lake county leads tho counties of the state for 1905, in the matter of fatal grade casualties. Thi3 is not excluding oven Marlon county In which the state capital, the largest city in Indiana Is located. Thirty-nine fatalities is the sum of the deaths by railroad accidents in Lake county alone according to statistics Just complied from reports submitted by different coroners throughout the state. Marion county's deaths from railway accidents amount to the comparatively .small number of twelve. This is less than one-third the number of fatalities which blot Lake county's escutcheon. The number of railroads entering the territories tinder comparison is greater in Lake county than In Marion county by several and the total mileage of traction is still more In proportion to tho number of extra roads. On the other hand Marlon county's population Is vastly greater than that of Lake county and the people are confronted by tho same conditions as to grade crossings there, as here. Tho fact that the Eastern roads running out of Chicago all pass through Lake county, as well as many of the Southern roads makes the traffic heavier in many instances than that entering Indianapolis but all things taken into consideration. Including the difference in population and all it seems doubtful whether there is any excuse for the death rate in Lake counay being so greatly in excess of that in Marion county. This being the case, it mtist follow that the cities here are lax in enforcing the railroad companies to properly protect their crossings and to do their own sin re in protecting the public from the dangers which lurk in that deadliest of all evils, the deadly grade crossing. WITH THE EDITORS WAGE REDUCTIONS. In the latest issue of the American edorationist, the official publication of the American Federation of Labor, there appear such injunctions as these: "Men of labor, no wage reductions! "Resist every attempt to reduce wages. "It is better to resist (wage reduc tions) and lose than not to resist at all. "Labor has firmly resolved and un alterably determined to resist wage reductions, no matter if the reductions are offered as 'a way out' of financial stress." From this it might be inferred that are disposed to share Hill's apprehension of a "healthful relaxation" labor leaders Mr. James J. what he calls in industrial circles. Admitting that such a relaxation is possible, if not probable, among its most active and direct causes are the present high rate of wages and the high cost of material due to high wages. Assuming the oc currence of a period of relaxation, what Is labor's policy? A falling off of orders means a curtailment of output, and that means either that a smaller number of men will be employed at present rates, while some are thrown out of employment, or that the pres ent number may be employed at lower rates. If the time comes when, as Mr. Hill says, "there will be two jobs for three men Instead of three jobs for two men." it is to be inferred from these official precepts that labor would rather see two men working at present wage rates and one man out of employment than to see men making at least a fair provision for the needs of their families?

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, May 1. The stock ket opened fractionally higher in pathy with higher quotations mar-sym-f rom London and a feeling of optimism pervading the exchange. The early prices, however, were the highest of the day. A general selling movement appeared in Union Pa cific, St, Paul and the Hill The large bond issue bison Co. was a depressing on the general market and newed selling in that issue. shares, the Atchifactor upcaused reAfter an early advance to 95 r4, it became weak, selling down to 944. Tho sensational advance in all of the grain markets caused the bulls upon stocks to pause in their operations and reflect whether their position upon the crop situation was the right one. The estimate of one of the best posted men in the grain trade that Kansas would not raise over three-quarters of crop caused vigorous selling in stocks of the grain carrying kind. Tho two strong spots in an otherwise weak market was the copper shares, both Amalgamated and Anaconda showed fair gains in the early part of the session. The former selling above 96 and the latter over Ci. Higher quotations for the metal abroad and a better local demand for the finished product was assigned as the reason for the advance. Houses who usually operate for Standard Oil interests were the best buyers of both stocks. It is well known in the street that this faction is in favor of higher prices, and especially so for their pet securities. The close tonight shows a rather ragged market. Should the bad crop reports continue tomorrow, prices will more than likely recede still further. mi YORK STOCK 1MB Descp. Atchison . . Io pfd. . . Am. Sugar. Am. Car. . . Atrial. Cop.

CHICAGO LETTER. Chicago, May 1. Wheat scored a sensational advance of a cent and a half for all of the active futures. The buying wave which emanated both from the south and northwest was the largest so far on the present, bull movement. The northwestern contingent who have been ehort of wheat and looked with skepticism upon the constant flood of crop damage reports were the largest buyers. They seem to have changed their position. Another strong bull argument was the deliveries of four million bushels of wheat on the May contracts. This apparently went into strong hands as none of it was offered for re-sale. Shorts who had been waiting for this opportunity to buy in their contracts were greatly disappointed. Crop news from the southwest was again bullish in the extreme. Crop Expert Snow estimates the winter wheat crop at 330,000.003 compared with over 450.000,000 last year. Tho market held the entire gain, closing strong at the highest prices of the day, CORX Dull but firm. In the last half hour of the session it responded sluggishly to the advance in other pits. Cash corn in the sample market was one-quarter to one-half cent higher. Trade in the futures not so large as

it ana

k is

the two preceding days. The market scored a gain of about a half cent for the day, closing fairly strong. OATS Another new high record for the May option with the shorts scranj bling over themselves to get out of it. The deliveries were over one million, I which went into the hands of one ini dividual who has been the leading bull j on this cereal. The market closed strong and excited with a sensawonnl advance for the day. PRODUCE MARKETS. I Chicago, May 1.

An attempt was made interest in the United dividend by a rumor stockholders had urged to stimulate States steel that certain the directors to increase the rate of distribution and that some members of the board were disposed to give the matter favorable consideration. The story did not receive much credence, the prevailing expectation being that no change would be made, at least at this period. LT. P. continues the feature. I have stated almost every other day that this stock should sell above 175 before the next bear campaign, but I could not tell you whether it might react five points or so after a ten point rally. Reading may also do some stunts, but this stock has been so widely tipped that I have not had much to say about it above 110. Big short interest in Pennsylvania. Ridgley. One of the causes contributing to a more optimistic frame of mind on the part of stock operators yesterday was the easier tone In wheat. One of the discouraging factors was the narrowness of the market and the concentration of activity in one or two issues. Those who watch the market voiced the opinion that very little can be expected when trading Is concentrated as It wa3 yesterday. The transactions in Issues other than Union Pacific and Reading were very small, comparatively speaking. Professionals followed the advance In Union very gingerly. They stood ready to take to their heels on the first sign of weakness and they limited their operations In other Stocks materially". They were content to follow, but balked at leading an aggressive amount. Extracts from market letters when grouped together, show very conclusively the possibilities of a divergence of opinion between the heads of big brokerage houses. The market letter industry is a flourishing one and every wire house finds it necessary to send out at the close of the day or before the beginning of business a resume or prediction of the day's business. In some cases one of the partners writes the letter, In others the room manager, so-called, and in some cases special men are employed. Usually where a special man 13 employed he is permitted to shape the letter according to the information which he gleans from important interests which he may consult. As a general rule market letters are honest expressions of opinion, and a perusal of a half dozen of the most quoted will show conclusively how opinions can differ. Ericks on the Boundary Walls. Canadian newspapers are commenting in a tone of regret rather than bitterness that by the new postal regulations agreed upon by Canada and the United States postage on newspapers passing from Canada to the United States was not only Increased to sixteen times the former rate, but it 13 required that Canadian publishers shall affix stamps to the papers and may not pay on bulk weight as formerly. This will add 13 cents a week average for postage and will make the price of a Canadian paper in the United States about $10 a year. Our Canadian brothers have our profound sympathy, and we expect In turn the condolences of the Canadian papers that American publishers must exact an increased rate from Canadian subscribers. Of course, the people in both countries remote from the border will be able to worry along on their own respective publications, but the border people will feel as If a few bricks have been added to the boundary wail.

Tho board of trade of Nashville, Tenn., has inaugurated an advertising campaign for that enterprising city, which ought to bring results. Municipalities throughout the country are awakening to the advantages of advertising, and Nashville has shown her sister cities that she means business by appropriating $50,000 off tho reel to help do the trick. Nashville proposes to advertise in the newspapers. Billboard advertising Is not included In the category of menas to the publicity end. The city's advantages will be set forth through tho press. Hundreds of copies of Nashville's dally papers will be sent to reading rooms, libraries, hotels and other public places in tho northeastern states so that tho reading public may be reminded of Nashville's existence. The money will be spent in this way: 1. A eomnilation of a directory of the names of every northern manufacturer whose eroods are sold to Nash ville retailers, jobbers or consumers. 2. The opening of correspondence with each of these firms, tho number of which is estimated at 700, witn a view to securiner either the removal nf the main nlant to Nashville, or the
