THE LITTLE SUBURB of Gibson la fast earning an unsavory reputation
aa a place where crime abounds and where one's life Is la danger after night
fall. The chief of police has not enough men to take care of It In the proper
manner, bo it is up to the city authorities to grant money enough for
additional policemen.
PHILADELPHIA DOES not seem to be slow when it comes to graft and they now can lay claim to the blue ribbon which San Francisco has previously held. Five million dollars Is a large sum and It now remains to be seen how it
was eplit up amongst tho 14 men arrested.
IT TOOK the missing Mrs. Klimovicz but a very short time to get back into notice when it was said her feet were larger than the woman whom her husband his mother and Lis bister identified as being the wife. It sort of reached her pride. WILL WE have the pennant championship series all to ourselves again this year or not. That is the question. We are sure to see one side of it, but from the present outlook we will have to go over to the West Side to see it. WHAT A fine thing for the unions to have tho Mothers' Congress with them. Perhaps the congress would be willing to elect one of Its members to act as walking delegate for the dear girls. THE LEGAL AID SOCIETY is waging a war on the loan sharks in Chicago and with great success. It is about time that these concerns be driven from every city in the United States.
IT LOOKS as though Hammond would have a f.no system of Interurban trolly lines by next rummer. It will be a great boom and a builder for this part of the country. O i NOW THAT the Fish-liaruhau squabble is over, with honors to the latter
it is hoped that tho Illinois Central directors will behave like gentlemen.

YESTERDAY'S RESULTS.
WHITING'S 50-YEAR FRANCHISE.
The citizens of Whiting aro now faced with a situation in regard to the 60-year franchise asked for by the Hammond, Whiting and East Chicago Railway company, similar in many respect3 to that thrashed out in Hammond Boveral years ago. It is evident that tho council of Whiting aro inclined to favor tho measure and it seems probable that they will voto for it in spite of tho opposition of tho public as a unit. The cause for tho antagonistic attitude of the patrons of tho lino seems to be based more on the service which has been given in tho past rather than any very objeetlonal featuro embodlad in tho new charter. With the exception of a very few, the public has not had access to the contents of the franchise and consequently' cannot judge for themselves its merits or demerits. Tho larg-e majority, therefor, are relying on wliat others say to mold their opion in conJunction with their personal relations with the road as a patron. Here they have been embittered against tho corporation because of the policy which they have pursued in tho past of a disdainful disregard for the comfort and inconvenience of the public They have beyond a tloubt treated the latter in many ways most shamefully. Nevertheless they should be given due credit for the vast improvement in tho service and the treatment of the passengers which is becoming more and more evident. New cars are being Installed at a groat expense, tho intervals between Hammond and East Chicago havo been changed from twenty to fifteen minutes, employes have been warned to treat the public with respect; and improved facilities have been installed for the handling of holiday crowds. These facts must be taken into consideration to form an unbiased opinion of the granting of the franchise. The measure itself lends an unlimited field for discussion, but there is no question but what the street car company Is asking for all that could be expected and a little bit more. They give nothing In return except the paving of their right of way on the streets which the city wishes to improvo and It is for this consesslon that they are asking for the franchise and hope to force It from the people by that Inducement. They aro taking advantage of a favorable opertunity but tho method Is so shallow that tho majority of people can readily grasp it.

White came into his own yesterday
In the first game of the double header
at Detroit, but Walsh was unable to follow up the lead of tho dentist.
Wiiite was up against Mullin and they
were both batted freely, but both showed their mastery of the art in keeping the score down to three for the Sox and two for the Tigers. Jiggs Donahue came to the notice of the fans in the lirst game by getting five hits in as many times to bat. Mullin tried his best to cop that twentieth game as it meant a prize of $500 offered by tho management. But he did well under the circumstances when it is considered that the Sox got fourteen hits. The second game was called in the sixth owing to darkness. Walsh and Killian were doing the stunt as of old but the old-timer man
aged to squeeze out a victory by one run. The old southpaw worked every trick with success, holding the Sox down to four hits, striking out three men. Walsh did just as good work without the good results, allowing only three hits. There will be but four teams in action today in the American league and two in the National, as
ning run in the tenth, after ho had singled, was advanced to third by Evers on a single and came home on a long fiy. Walter Miller, tho premier jockey of the country, yesterday signed a contract to ride for Thomas H. Williams nxt year. Williams is president of the California Jockey club, and will use tho boy in the west and in the east.
He paid fls.OuO for his services, with
the Newcastle paying him $10,000 for second call and the Keene stable $7,000
for third.
Jack Twin Sullivan is kicking about the referee in his Bill Squires go, but
it is of no avail. He wants Billy
Welsh but the club wants Roach, so
tho latter will be the man. The Twin wants to get on with Tommy Burns, whom he onco defeated for a championship bout. My money on tho Twin if ho does get on with Burns. Longboat will not be allowed to run In the Illinois Club Marathon run next Saturday after all. This entry was protested by the A. A. U. of New York. It is time that the A. A. V. was driven to tho wall. It really means James Sullivan and one man control of any organization is bad.
rue ,aps got oacK at Kt. iouis yesterday and blanked them with a score of 2 to 0. They did tho work with a rally in the eighth and all the hits they
got in the whole game amounted but five, while tho Browns whaled out ten.
Such is baseball.

The big arena at the Coliseum will be
like an amphitheatre, permitting every
seat in the great hall to afford a good view of tlie events in the ring. o that tht purchaser of the dollar seat will have as good a view as the affluent sport in a high priced seat. The windup for the -how has not yet been determined. but it is probable Packey McFarland will meet either Joe Galligan or Tommy Mowatt. Galligan has been hot on Paekey s trail for some time, and tho latter probably will kIvo him the choice, although the moekyards boy also is anxious to try his prowess
apamsr tne unbeaten McFarland. For

L. M. Houseman will tend to the
press tonight a 132 sheet booklet which
is to be th souvenir program of the occasion, and It probably will bo the most attractive thing of Its kind ever
published In connection with an athletic
event.
From every angle It begins to look
as if the tribute to tho veteran referee
was to be a huge success, and already compliments are being paid to Jack Curley, Sller's Intimate friend, who was
the originator of the testimonial and who has been so active In working for its success.
Sonoma Girl was too much for High
ball in the remaining two heats yesterday at Columbus, and the best the latter could go was third place in the
stake event. Tho Trinceton boys started Ugh
practice despite tho hot weather. A little kicking and falling on the ball
was all that was indulged In.
