Standard Steel Company to Turn Out First Model Next Wesk. FORGES AREMGREASIH6 Enough Work in Sight to Keep Concern Busy for Many Months. The first sample car manufactured by the Standard Steel' Car company will be turned out next week. This fact became known last night in spite of the attempt of the officials to keep secret the progress being made in the erection of the works. The car is said to be a sample which will bo made for the Erie railroad and is a type of 2,000 hoppers ordered by the latter corporation. Tills fact means that within a period of two or three weeks the entire plant will be in operation and they will be running at that time at about half their normal capacity. Night and day work has been the program at the new concern in the final preparations for putting the plant in working order. Expert mechanics have been busy all week in the testing of various pieces of machinery, boilers and pipes being installed in the steel car building which wil be the first department of the company in operation. The office force, tradesman and laborers aro being increased dally in bringing the force up to the number necessary for beginning operations. A great number of the better class of employes are now being imported to the city and we are now beginning to hear the hum and whirl of the busy factory in operation, and it will be but a short space of time before this city will be feeling an impetus, heretofore unknown by even this community as prosperous as it is. Though the building of the concern was of great interest realization is in this caso better than anticipation. It gives us pleasure to know that the company's policy is to begin at once and without display or delay begin the fulfillment of their contracts. It is said that the Hammond branch of the company has enough business contracted for at the present time to keep them in operation at their full capacity for a period of two years. Among the larger orders are those of the Erie Railroad company and the ore cars of the steel tru6t. the honors. Mrs. Poggensee served a very elaborate luncheon. The guests were: Mesdames Rohrer, Winckler, Sharrer, Eicknel!, Adolph Hirsch, Rothschild and Krinbill. The members were: Mesdames Cox, Paxton, Oberlin, T. E. Bell, B. L. P. Bell, F. R. Mott, Kasson, Disbrow, Mashino, Sawyer, Hohman, Booth, MeDermott, Dyer, Russell and Crumpacker. The Missionary society of the First Baptist church had a very interesting meeting yesterday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Binder in Williams street.

REV. Ult. W. This la the eloquent divine whose contagious enthusiasm brought to a focus over one year ago the plana for erecting tho new First Methodist l'.plsco pid hureh. The dedication comes June 30. Bishop William Frazer McDoyell, one of the rarest pulpit celebrities, is engaged to preach at the morning hour which on that occasion will be 10 o'clock. Tho old church has done service twenty-five years, but its career ends tomorrow, and that is none too soon. Hammond has long needed better church buildings and this new one which supplants the old Is in every JUDGE E. H. GARY S OPTIMISTIC Believes Financial Condition of Country is Sound Steel Business Good. E. II. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the United States Steel corporation, who Is in Chicago on a tour of inspection, yesterday prophesied a continuance of financial and commercial prosperity for the nation. He said there is a scarcity of money in comparison with the volume of business but construed it as a natural consequence of the country's rapid commercial growth. 'in my opinion the financial condition of the country is perfectly sound," said Mr. Gary. "There is an evident scarcity of money in comparison with tho volume of business, but this means simply that the volume of business lias increased faster than the volume of money. It indicates the extraordinary resources of this country as a producer. There is no good reason for a financial o.r business panic. "Of tho steel business I will talk only in general terms. our bookings from Jan. 1 to the present time are larger bv 2,000 or 3.0.10 tons per day than for the corresponding period of last year. The earnings for the quarter will not be ascertained until the directors meet on July SO. They probably will be shown to be satisfactory. "We have made substantial increases in wages and are paying higher freight charges than we did last year. But the outlook seems good notwithstanding. Naturally, we have been expecting some recession in business for Rome months in consequence of financial and crop conditions and political agitation, but it has not appeared up to the present time." Silent on Jlnrrtmaii fcnnt.'' When the subject of Mr. llarriman's "roast" was mentioned Mr. Gary smiled agreeably and said lie had "read it." He said lie lias no intention whatever of making any answer to the charges against the United States Steel corporation, but finally said that he would reiterate a former statement. "Representatives of the railroads and representatives of manufacturing companies are in conference with reference to the question of making better steel." h- said. "Also they are discussing better methods and improvements in the handling and use of steel rails. It is probabie that ultimately they will agree. "All recognize the fact that, if it is practicable to improve the rails or the use of them, there should be no hesitation in adopting whatever methods may be found available. " the most enjoyahle being a penny contest in which Wilton Durmady won a pretty book a3 a prize. The guests also spent a portion of the evening with porch games, the porch being lighted with Japanese lanterns. A very delicious luncheon was served at the close of the evening from tables prettily arranged with pink carnations and ferns. The flowers were given as favors of the party. The guests were: Misses Isabella Vanderhoof, Marie Gehrir.g. Sarah Price. Clara Lauerman. Mary Young. Agnes Cameron, Jennie Lynch. Ethel Sullivan, and Ruth Dufrane. Messrs. Harry Tague, Arthur Marlatt, William Filan. Earl Coash. Leo Arnold. Raymond Prindle, William Dubb and Joseph Sherby. Among others present were Miss Mary Rahn. Charles Purcell, Leon Dufrane and Wilton Durmandy.
