IT ISN'T ALL DEIED UP.
Pessimists, who are prone to descant on. the deterioration of the milk f human kindness, should visit Hammond and the Calumet region and hcheer up. 1 For the '.past few months there has been Increasing hardship among he poor owing to the continued depression of the times and the consequent Igradual depletion of the little hoard of savings which the laboring people khad laid up. There has been real suffering and want among the poor of SLake count, but it is only of late that the community at largo has been J brought to a realization of the need that exists. This realization Is the re
sult of the. public agitation which was started by Trustee Schaaf , and fostered by the public prints. With it there has been such an upsprlnging of charity as this region has never known. The more fortunate members of the community seem to vie with each other as to who can do the most toward
tyelieving the situation. , There have been committees appointed by the city councils of Hammond and other municipalities throughout Lake county to raise money for Ithe sufferers. j Mass meetings of citizens have been called and committees organized to .co-operate with the municipal authorities In this connection. Iri East ChicaI go and Indiana Harbor commissary departments have been established where -fthe poor are Invited to come and receive donations of flour, beans, salt meats land other substantial staples, whose nutriment is unquestioned and whose
economy' 'is I established. Some citizens have given money, while others have
jdonated groceries and supplies. Almost everybody who had anything to give fjias come forward with his gift. ; In Hammond an important factor in helping the poor is the charity ;onceit which was given last night and which was attended by as many as could crowd within the doors of Towle's opera house. These enjoyed the
program doubly on account of its own merit and because of the worthy
motive which brought them thither. Even South Chicago and Parkslde have
taken an interest not only in their own local needs, but what they could not ifind place for at home they sent over to Hammond to be distributed among
the poor of their neighbor city. . This help from private sources has done much to ameliorate conditions
here. The township and county funds, already overdrawn, are no longer In
"demand, or At least they are not in demand in anything" like the extent to
which they were called-before this wave 'of charity struck the citizens of
the region. Trustee Schaaf said the other day that in ten days he had not
-spent $15 of the township's money on charity. When this figure is com
.'pared with the hundreds of dollars which were being spent weekly before 4he citizens, and municipal committees took the situation in hand, it will be
.apparent what is being done by purely local effort in the various cities
where want Is the most pronounced.
Alderman John Kane, who is chairman of the concert committee, which
ras held in charity s name last night, is to be highly congratulated on the success of his undertaking, and so also is every member of the various committees engaged in the relief work throughout the county. But while
.due credit' Is given the men, it should not be forgotten that the ladles have
toad a hand in this work, and to them much credit is also due, especially in
'the case "Of- the Hammond concert, which they so ably helped to plan and
'execute. ...... .. -

on our bridal trip. Don't you think you had better be a little careful that it does not dry up before we get
there?"
It's all right to let your money talk, but don't use a megaphone.
IN POLITICS
What are the odds that St. John
township will go republican next fall?
With the exception of Fred Carter
and Ed Simon the democratic convention at Gary, May. 2, promises to turn
a drove of dark horses into the political field.
"I'm to busy to talk politics today,"
said Candidate Pat Reilley. "I am
working to land Comrade Elliott, tho state G. A. R. chaplalnship.
With Bruno Schrieber of East Chi
cago out of the race for the trusteeship of North township, the friends of Sam Abalman are jubilant and have more confidence of success. Geographically
Schrelber was admitted by both repub
licans and democrates to be the ligical candidate.
The democratic club rooms In the Huehn block are now completely furnished and are indeed attractive. As Peter Lyons repeated time and again to the delegates at the democratic primary convention: "They are open to all the democrats in the county."
Some say that Martin Finneran, tho re-elected clerk of West Hammond, is a good politician. Undoubtedly he Is, but Martin Is admittedly more of a diplomat than a politician. An Irishman who is so agreeable to the various nationalities as Martin is decidedly a diplomat.
Seaborn Wright, who, it is said, will be nominated for president by the Prohibitionists at their national convention In Columbus next July, is one of the leading advocates of prohibition in the south, though a democrat. For twenty years a member of the Georgia legislature, he drafted the state prohibition law and' led the fight that resulted in the law's adoption. In 1899 Mr. Wright was the populist candidate for governor of Georgia.

when there was an open rupture be
tween the two over a matter that concerned both the political and business interests of Mr. Hlll Though active in
politics for a number of years, Mr.
O'Connor has never held any Important public office. He Is as shrewd. In business as In politics and his friends
estimate his wealth at a million dollars
or more.

THEY DOWNED THE REDS. , Up with the pennant and down with the reds. That appropriate double bill was pulled off before the face and hands of 18,000 people yesterday, at Mr. Murphy's latest creation In baseball yards, to celebrate the opening of the National League season In Chicago. It's a grand old pennant that was hoisted, and the same dandy set of champs furnished tho incidental trimmings in the shaps of a 7 to 3 victory over Cincinnati's red-shinned athletes.

S0Z WIN AT LAST. Cleveland, O., April 22. Today's game between Chicago and Cleveland began at 3 p. m. It really ended at 3:10 p. m. at which time Chicago had amassed three runs. The two teams went through the formality of playing eight or ten innings, so as to give the crowd it's money's worth, for there was one grand crowd present, far too large to be disappointed altogether. But while Chicago added one run to those secured in the first inning, and Cleveland one less, the score being 4 to 0, there were lots of spectacular stunts pulled off in a fielding way, and Manager Lajole gave the 5,637 spectators a partial review of his pitching staff.

And Murphy, carried along by the Jerseyite's terrific pace, jolted and swung uppercuts and jabs till the bell ended the battle.
COACH STAGG OFF FOR PHLLLLE. Coach Stagg of the University of Chicago and his relay team started for o'clock to compete in the Penn games Saturday. At the last moment the Maroon coach decided to take Maddlgan and Steften to compete in the individual events. Jacobs, however, will not take the trip on account of his college work, although selected by Stagg. The announcement that Steffen would go East with the relay squad came as a surprise to the Modway fans, as the little hurdler had not done special training for, the Quaker meet. Steffen's trials over the high sticks yesterday were the best he has done since he entered the university, and Stagg decided to take him along.
GANS AGAIN MATCHED. Packey McFarland and Joe Gans were yesterday offered a $20,000 purse for a forty-five round fight for the lightweight championship at Goldfleld, Nev on the afternoon of July 4.
