FOR FUNEKALS OR FUN? The legislature of Wisconsin has passed a law against tho holding of a boat race on Decoration day on the ground that It will be a desecration of a day that was designed for better things. The members of the G. A. R. are waging a bitter fight against the tendency of American youth to regard all off days as holidays. If the members of the G. A. It. think Decoration day should be spent only in the cemeteries they have the right to suggest If not to dictate. If the veterans of the civil war would cover the Union with a pall of gloom every time May SO comes around the younger generation of course most fall in line. We doubt, however, if the younger generation, whose thoughts lightly turn to baseball or boat racing every time this or any other holiday comes round, will yield anything in patriotic spirit to those who seek by legislative enactment to preserve the "sacredness and solemnity of Decoration day." We doubt, also, if "The heroes who lie beneath the shade of the pitying cypress and pine" would wish that their grandsons refrain from manly sports on the day set apart for the decoration of their graves. Holidays since time out of mind the world over have been celebrated as days of rejoicing. Many of them commemorate events that have at the time of their occurrence brought gloom to many hearts. No great victory was ever gained that did not carry with it Its burden of temporal sorrow. But in the end they have worked for the good of many. Every country celebrates events of war victories won by sword and fire. This country's commemora tion of the victory which decided that this country was to bo ono and in separable falls largely on Decoration day. There is not a human being alive perhaps who does not deplore the fact that the soldiers honored by Decoration day had to die. There are very few, however, who have not re Joieed in what their death and the efforts of those who lived to tell the tragic tale, brought to the United Kates and Its citizens. Decoration day in this senso should be a day of rejoicing as well as one of tender solicitude for the graves of dead heroes. The G. A. R. is getting too sensitive. They must remember that they were once young themselves and be glad that there are still young hearts and muscles who warm to the play of the oar and tho swing of the baseball bat, and who, in times of need, Mould be Just as ready to go to their country's aid as the members of tho G. A. 11. wero when they were young and brimming with patriotic enthusiasm which has resulted in their organiza tion. PROBLEM OF WEST HAMMOND STATESMANSHIP. West Hammond await3 in agitated expectancy the action of the new board which will meet for the first time this evening, on tho question of renewing tho divekeepers' licenses. The outgoing officials by the nega tive policy pursued by them in postponing the action on licenses, have shown a wise disposition to shift the responsibility onto the shoulders of their successors, of a matter that would mean nothing more substantial than odium for them (tho outgoers) no matter how they voted. If they turn ed tho divekeepers down on the eve of their quitting oihce, their old friends, the divekeepers, would cry, 'traitor," or at least accuse the trustees of acting the part of the dog in the manger. On the other hand, they would get small thanks for their belated virtue from tho decent citizens. Hid they voted to renew the licenses they would have received the condemnation of the decent element and their sue rftHsora. the enemy, would reap the graft. In the meantime the new board has been guarding its attitude on the question of the dives as though the same wero a Bubject too sacred for publicity. In the meantime, also, the recently elected trustees have robbed themselves of whatever credit might have been accrued by the rejection of th divekeepers' application for licenses if the latter are rejected, for no one will now believe that euch, action will bo taken In any sincerity of purpose.
No one has doubted that the members of the new board had hoped the outgoing one would serve as the scapegoat for their own contemplated protection of the resorts of ill-fame that line West State street to the shame of the village across the line. Since they are made, however, to shoulder the burden of responsibility themselves, with the threats of Markman ringing in their ears and the probability of the dives being put out of business anyhow by the state's attorney, the newly elected trustees may try to make a virtue of necessity, and vote against the dives. In that case it will look as though they had overlooked a good bet in failing to get in with a little thunder along those lines before it was too late to impress the citizens. This political game is certainly a bewildering business.
MORE POLICE NEEDED. With the growth of the city of Ham mond comes that evil which must at tend the advent of business, new residents, etc., tho increaso of crime and drunkenness. Hammond in the early days succeeded in escaping for the most part the usual run of lawlessness that must necessarily be a part of a city. Not that Hammond is today seriously threatened with any outbreak of the criminal class, but the records of the Hammond police department show an nteresting study. A year ago the number of arrests at Hammond averag ed about thirty to the month. As the city soon began to spread itself, newcomers arrived within the gates, and large business enterprises opened their doors and brought thousands of strang ers within the boundaries, the arrest book began to grow. The police de partment has not Increased in numbers although it has greatly increased in efficiency. The month of March showed the record of arrests as having been over twice as large as during the same number of days the preceding year. The month of April showed a decided gain, and the arrests increased about 12 per cent over the month of March the same year. In March, seventy-three offenders were lodged be hind the bars and in April the number increased to eighty-three arrests for the thirty days. With the good things we must accept the bad. WE MIGHT EMULATE WHITING. Whiting is not content with improve ments that merely improve the value of their property. Of late the citizens of the Oil Town have been enthusiastic to do what they can to make their city a desirable place to live in, from a standpoint of physical attraction. The Whiting folks, however, realize that without decency and morality no place can be attractive to desirable citizens. They also believe in the ounce of prevention that discounts the pound of cure and being comparatively near neighbor to South Chicago and other wicked places where vice flourishes comparatively unchecked, it Is the aim of Whiting to keep a close eye upon its youth. To this end the curfew law is to be Introduced making it a mis demeanor for any young person under Bixteen years of age to be seen on the street unchaperoned. If Hammond would adopt the same rule and enforce it, it would no doubt work wonders In the matter of keeping girls and boys away from places which are not fit for them to visit. WITH THE EDITORS FOOL MEN AND WOMEN. omen sometimes complain that men are unjust in intimating that women are anxious to get married. Tho men are expected to have con tempt for the Jokes which make it ap pear that women rush madly after men and the prospects. But isn't the lm pression which some men have due to tho conduct of some women? There is a case at point now occupying the attention of Indianapolis. A few days ago a man from Missouri registered at ono of the leading hotels of the capital city. He is supposed to be a mil lionaire. He announced that he is looking for a wife and he described his ideal. The man from Missouri found out that advertising brings re suits. For two days he has been besieged by callers, each one of whom believes herself to be the woman he is looking for. Letters have come to him by the hundred. The telephone calls have been many. Of course due allowance must be made for the jokers but when a woman will call at the hotel and seek a husband she does not do so as a humorist. Of course we all know that tho women who offer them selves in this case as commodities of the market are not the home builders they are not the women to whom the nation look3 for Its future welfare Just what the average man thinks of a woman who would make such an ex hlbition of herself wouldn't look well In print. And yet we are told that the man from Missouri received calls from women who appeared fashionably dressed and seemed intelligent. But it would be unjust and unwarranted to judge womankind by the performance of a few foolish women, neither would it do to condemn all men be cause one fool with money started out to buy a wife us he would do if purchasing a colt. When it comes to real folly it is hard to say whether men or women can attract the more atten tion. But the world expects more from women the ideals set for her are higher. Consequently when she makes an exhibition of herself the effect Is more noticable. Lafayette Journal. Lucky Find In Almshouse.

NEW YORK LETTER. New York, May 2. Union Pacific was again the leading feature of the stock market. An advance of four points for the day was the outcome of the days' transactions. From an opening around 146, it advanced slowly but steadily until the final close showed 150. The trade was upon a larger scale than usual. Various causes was assigned for the advance. Renewed talk of a holding company was heard, but It was not given serious consideration by raders in the street. A close friend of one of the leading banking houses who usually finance the Harriman deals is quoted as saying they have no inten tion of backing this holding company. Furthermore he believes that Harri man dose not contemplate any such plan. One of the unusual occurrences of the session was the trade in Union Pacific preferred. For many months this issue has been absolutely negected. There have been days at a time when there would not be a transaction n the preferred shares recorded. To day quite a little activity was displayed. It opened at 88 and sold up to 96. Nothing definite was given out to cause the advance and it may be purely speculative. But if a holding company should be organized for the Union Pacific company, the preferred shares should reap some benefit from such organization. Despite the bad crop news and fur ther reports by experts of crop dam age, Wall. street and traders generally disregard them. The rise in Union Pacific had a beneficial effect throughout the list and was more or less instru mental in causing fair rallies in Atchison, St. Paul, New York Central, Read ing and Pennsylvania. The copper shares enjoyed a further boom based on higher prices for the metal and active buying by Standard Oil interests. The market closed firm at about the best prices of the day.

WHEAT: An old fashioned bull market with the buying enthusiasm more prevalent than at any time in several days. At one time during the session prices showed an advance of almost two cents over yesterdays highest prices. The buying wave seemed to emanate from all directions. Southwestern traders contributed the larger share of it, but Northwestern shorts also were liberal buyers. Fortunate bulls who bought wheat early In the week were about the only sellers, yet their offerings were large enough to stem the tide and cause a natural reaction from the high prices obtaining at the opening. Liverpool cabjes this morning were excited and prices upon that exchange quoted from a penny to a penny and a half higher. The sam? class of crop damage reports as in the past were in circulation. Cash sales rather large; export demand brisk. The market closed rather weak after the early bulge. CORN: Ruled higher with a fair demand from shorts. The active speculative futures had a ranga of about a cent a bushel for tho day. The May

ram an option being the conspicuous feautre owing to the large short interest still outstanding in that future. The cash demand shows a falling oft owing to the rapid advance both in cash corn and the speculative options, exporters preferring to wait for some recession. OATS: Another new high record for the May option. Shorts in this month are receiving very severe treatment at the hands of the leading bull operator. He practically owns all of the cash oats and can compel the shorts to pay fancy prices in order to buy back their contracts. The other months 6mypathized slightly with the advance. Cash sales about 150,000. The market closed with a slight decline from the early high prices. PRODUCE MARKETS. Chicago. Mav 2.

Sharp demand for steel common and Pennsylvania in loan crowd. Thirty-six roads third week April show average gross Increase 14.75 per cent. Leading banking interests expect money will continue easy throughout tho summer. Important changes in stock exchange firms Including dissolution of C. G. Gates and company. liegular dividend on steel common and perferred, steel net earnings for March first quarter. Pennsylvania earnings for March east of Pittsburg, December $464,400 and west of Pittsburg increased $204,800. Toronto. An Increase of wages to take effect at once has been given by the Grand Trunk management to its freight handlers. Hereafter new men will be paid, from 14 to 15 cents an hour. The market today in tho afternoon was reactionary on account of the new issue of Atchison Convertible bonds, and also on Snow's crop report, which showed materially less winter wheat than formerly expected. The market remained very quiet, and naturally the buying was not as ag gressive as it was yesterday, and even Union Pac, which was the prominent stock the last few days, went down with the rest of the market. We do not see much at present either way. but it is not pruaent to sen stocks whenever they are weak, on the contrary, they ought to be bought when they are weak, and people ought to be satisfied with small profits. Phlla. The Pennsylvania Railroad company notwithstanding the easy in crease in transportation expenses after declaring the 3 per cent, semi-an nual dividend had left a surplus of 4.500.000 dollars out of the last six months earnings. Albany, N. Y. The court of appeals upholds the order of the lower courts denying the application of the city of New York for permission to examine the books and inspect the plant of the ! Brooklyn Gas company in its en deavor to secure a rate lower than 90 cents per 1.000 cubic feet for gas. There seems to be much less fear of crop scares and it looks as if all prob able damage has been fully discounted so far as prices of stocks are concerned. If the rumor proves true that a Kuhn Loen syndicate has tanen $25,000,000 of the Atchison Convertible 4's it will strengthen confidence in the monetary situation and doubtless give impetus to an UDward movement in price. A. O. Brown & Co. Despite Wall street reports, the Erie Is in a very good condition. Recent in spections show a splendid state of affairs, so far as the track and equip ment are concerned, except that more cars and engines could be used. The policy of the management is to con tinue the expenditures for maintenance and smaller improvements made neces sary by the increasing business. Heavy new construction work has been dis continued because of money market conditions, but earnings are up to the high water mark of last year and it may be, will show an excess for this year. The Erie earned over and above interest, taxes and dividends last year $2,500,000 of which $2,000,000 was ex pended in Improving the property. J. H. Maddy. The market opened strong under the leadership of Union Pacific which ad vanced to the highest price touched on this movement. The entire list sym pathized with the heavy buying in Union Pacific and pronounced strength was shown in the Hill stocks, Reading and Amalgamated Copper. Profit-taking was encountered on the advance and the market around one o'clock de clined from a half point to a point and a half below the previous high level, The tendency of the stocks was, nowever, to grow auu on tne aecune wmcn traders argue as being a good sign and again under the leadership of Union Pacific, the entire market rallied Union Pacific reaching the highest prices of the day about half past two. From there, there was a sagging so I that the list as a whole closed not far from last night3 level. Xott la the time to set busy vrtth your real estate ads.
