Protestants Who Attended Catholic Services Much Impressed With Ceremonies Carried Out.
Jn spite of the fact that William Randolph Hearst and Thomas Hisgen, the independent party candidate for president, -were not able to speak in Gary yesterday, the Independence League of Gary is planning a big celebration in this city. What is known as the famous Labor Flying Wedge will come to Gary the 29th of this month, where they plan to hold one of the biggest meetings in this district. Already preparations have been begun by Attorney E. G. Ballard of this city for the meeting, in which five labor men will speak, in addition to a number of state candidates. Among the latter are J. W. Close, candidate for secretary of state. Iliigen May Still Come. Hope is still held out. however, that Hisgen may be secured for Gary, as he speaks in Petersburg, his former home, the latter part of this week, and it may be possible that he can be induced to come to Gary. It now seems probable, also, that .Iair.es Zion. the party candidate for governor, can also be induced to come to this fyty. On the :Sth, aside from Mr. Close, who will be one of the most prominent speakers of the evening, the independence party will have KUwin Strauss of Toledo. Ohio, one of the best speakers
now touring the country for the independence party. There are three other members of the "Flying Wedge" who will also speak in Gary on that date and they .ire nil known to be good mill. May .tppror In Hammond. The tour of the "Flying Wedge" in this district will include the cities of Lafayette, Valparaiso, .South Bend and Gary. An attempt will also be madi to get them to come to Hammond. B sides this meeting other meetings of importance are planned by the party for the closing week in Gary.

Two fires in Gary came to the at

and in one came especially, the effec
tive work of the police officers saving the surrounding property from destruc
tion.
A defective flue in one of the shacks
south of the Michigan Central tracks
near Broadway started a blaze and
several of the shacks caught fire. Of
fleers Johnson and Miller and Newman
formed a bucket brigade and did ef
festive work. The damage was nom inal.

about a mile and a half east of Gary

The car was set out, but the fire had so
much of a start that it was impossi

Party Taken Over Site and Through
Mills Which Are Nearly CompletedAre Highly Pleased.
TRIAL IS IN SUPERIOR COURT
Defendant Has Taken an Appeal to From Justice Court Where He Lost Out.
As announced exclusively in The
Times; Saturday, William Ellis Corey,
president of the United States Steel corporation, paid Gary a visit yesterday, together with other distinguished officials of the steel trust. The mag
nate spent the greater part of the day visiting the steel plant and the city
proper. Tho verdict of them all was that they were delighted with the progress made, both In the mills and the city itself.
The party arrived in Gary at 9 o'clock
over the L.ake snore, in special cars.
Among them were E. H. Gary, chalfman of the board of directors, after whom the city was, named; E. J. Buf
fington. president of the Indiana Steel company; G. Thorpe, vice president of the Indiana Steel company; Alva Din
key, president of the Carnegie Steel
company; A. L. Banks, president of the Chicago, Lake Shore and Eastern rail
way, and a number of other officials
connected with subsidiary companies of
the United States Steel company.
They were taken into the mills at
once by Superintendent W. H. Gleaeon, who took them through the many acres of sand, and were shown the details of the work of construction. The in
spection trip of the mills lasted until noon and was very thorough, as it is probable that this will be the last time
that they will be enabled to see them before the enormous plant is put in operation."
Immediately after the trip through
the mills the party was taken about town by Mr. Gleason in his automobile, and they were shown the progress that has been made in the city. The substantial buildings which line Broad
way appealed to them and the prog
ress made in the building of the city
seemed equally satisfactory to that of the mills.
After a luncheon in their private
car, on trie iane bnore, tney returned
to Chicago. This is the first trip that
Mr. Corey has made to Gary in nearly a year.
W. S. Feuer of Cleveland, owner of the Smith building, arrived in Gary this morning for the purpose of pushing a case against E. G. Smith, the present tenant of his building. Mr. Feuer has been trying for some time to oust Smith and some time ago won
his case against him in a justice court. The case, however, was appealed to the superior court, and in the meantime Mr. Smith continued to occupy offices in the building.
Mr. Feuer, however, is now endeav
oring to have the case pushed against
Smith in the upper court, and expects in a few days to once more gain possession of his own property. The case
has . been set for trial at this term of
the superior court, and unless some
thing unexpected happens Mr. Smith's
days in the Smith building are num bered.
. The building is one of the best on
Broadway and is in a splendid location
and Mr. Feuer thinks that he will have
no difficulty in getting in desirable
tenants as soon as he can get posses si,on of it.
PERMITS
DESERTER IS RETURNED
Whiting. Ind., Oct. 20. (Special.) Chief of Police Patrick Lawler has returned from Norfolk, Va., where he went with Paul Yuska, the 19-year-old Whiting boy who deserted the United States navy after serving eighteen months, and returned to his home in this city. The boy will be compelled to pay a fine of $250 for taking his departure without the necessary discharge. This fine will have to come out of a salary of $18 per month. In addition he will not be allowed to put his foot on land for many months. Yusko himself does not seem to take the matter very seriously, but his mother, who resides in Davidson's addition, is heart-broken over the affair.
FIXTURES MOVED AWAY
Former Gary Postofnce Furniture Will Be Used at Buffiington.
The old postofnce fixtures in the Knotts building were moved away today and now nothing remains to show where Cele Sam has held sway for so many months in Gary. Many of the residents in that section of the business district were sorry to see the office moved away, but as they are expecting free delivery any month they feel that it won't make much difference. The fixtures are being taken to Buffington, where they will be used in a new office which is being put in at
that place. In the space formerly occupied by the postoffice will be put a five and ten cent store. The proprietors of this new business are Heltzer and Pierce of Flint, Mich. They have part of their stock on the road and expect to occupy the building by the last of this week. The insurance offifce of Knotts and McRoberts will he moved to the second floor, temporarily at least, until the new building is completed.

Judge V. S. Reiter Disap
points East Chicago Reform Body by Declaring That Council Obeyed the Law. Knnt Chicago. Ind.. Oct. 20. Jadpre V.
S. Reter of the superior court, yesterday discharged the proreriinK instituted against the member of the Enst Chicago city council charging them with contempt of court in connection with the awarding of the furniture con
tracts for the new city hall. The case was one of the interesting links in the so-called graft prosecutions started by Colonel R. F. Walsh and his cohorts,
the Citizen's Improvement association, and was prosecuted by Atorney D. J.
Moran of Hammond.
History of Case: Judge Reiter last August issued a
temporary restraining order against
the city, compelling them to refrain
from purchasing the furniture for the municipal offices until the letter of the law In regard to appropriations had
been carefully followed. This was
done, according to the views of the council, and the contract for $7,800
worth of furniture awarded to the A
H. Andrews company of Chicago. The
disgruntled members of the Improve
ment association declared that the proper legal steps in the advertising
for bids, etc., had not been taken and
immediately started the contempt pro
ceedings. Judge Reiter, in his decision
absolutely declared the council to have
obeyed the law and his decision elim
inate the trial from the records of the
court. Conldn't Be Found.
Colonel Walsh could not be found this morning, when an attempt was
made to ascertain the course of his future prosecutions. According, however, to past statements made by the watch-dog of the Improvement association, they will not cease to be aggressive and militant in their prosecution of the graft alleged to exist in the chambers of the city council.

Probably more freight and more
passengers are transported in China by the wheelbarrow than by any other land method. The wheelbarrow used
in China differs from that used in
America in the fact that the wheel Is sH In the Center and thus supports
practically the entire load, while the
handles are supported in part by a
strap or rope over the shoulders of
the man who operates it. As a result the coolie in China will transport nearly half a ton on his wheel. Wheelbarrows are much used in the country where the roads are
but little developed, .and I have heard that passengers sometimes make the entire trip from Shanghai to Peking, a distance of 600 miles, by barrow. A two-passenger barrow will make about 20 miles a day, and the coolie is content with a pay of about 20 cents a day, or an average of about half a cent a mile for each passenger. On the level, well-kept streets of the foreign quarters of such cities as Hongkong, Shanghai and Peking the wheelbarrow coolie will struggle along with a load of six or even eight people.

CLEARS THE COMPLEXION" OVERNIGHT. Plmplea, RaaTi, Eruptions, Eec, Quickly Eradicated by w Skla Remedy. Since its discovery one year ago, poslam. the new skin remedy, has, in in extraordinary accomplishments, exceeded the most sanguine expectations of the eminent specialist who gave It to the world. It has cured thousands of cases of eczema and eradicated facial and other disfigurement of years' standing. The terrible itching attending eczema la stopped with the first application, giving proof of its curative properties at the very outset. In less serious akin affections, such as pimples, rash, herpes, blackheads, acne, harbor's itch, etc., results show after an avernlght application only a small quantity being required to effect a cure. A muddy or sallow complexion Is noticeably improved by a single application. Those who use poslam for these minor skin troubles can now avail themselves of the special 50-cent package, recently! adopted to meet such needs. Both the 50-cent package and regular 92 Jar may now be obtained in Hammond at J. W. Wels', 98 State street and other leading drug stores. Samples for experimental purposes may be had free of charge by writing direct to the Emergency Laboratories, 88 West Twenty-fifth street. New York City.
Mi MS HOBO Gary Lady Shows Prowess in Handling a Tough Customer.
Mrs. F. J. Larkin, living on Virginia street, is the terror of hobos, and to such an extent has she proven her prowess in dealing with the pests that at least one has been driven to the courts to seek protection. The victim, who, however, is finding little sympathy among the Gary women folk, is Dan Lyons, better known as "Hobo Dan." Mrs. Larkin went to the woodshed ycsterdr.w afternoon in order to get fuel but found the supply partially covered by the prostrate figure of Dan, who was snoring on the soft side of the kindling wood. She wakened the sleeping beauty and used no uncertain words and manner. Completely upset by being disturbed In his slumbers the man was prone to leave his abode of repose and told the woman not to hurry him to much. It was at this juncture that Mrs. Larkin used physical force to such an extent that the hobo was driven to the wall. He finally managed to escape and angered at the treatment that he had received he swore out a warrant charging the woman with assault and battery. The case was on trial today in Judge Huber's court.

A SERIES OF TEN TALKS ON ADVERTISING "VT- C written by Seymour, Eaton ef I Philadelphia IN U J Never spring a big newspaper advertisement upon the public unexpectedly. Make it an invariable rule to lead up by two or three nicely graded steps to the important announcement to be made. People take a certain pleasure out of anticipation. They enjoy their dinner all the more if they have been anxiously waiting to hear the bell. But if you open up your morning newspaper and find blazed forth in big headlines the advertisement of something startlingly new you are stunned rather than interested. If, however, for two or three days you have been looking for this announcement and each day getting a little more curious about it, you get your- i self keyed up in anticipation, and then if the announcement is even better than you had imagined you surrender in a body. Don't pay the United States government two cents for carrying a letter or a circular worth less than " two cents. The average advertiser , will shave off 15 cents a . thousand on envelopes and a quarter of a cent a pound on paper and beat down the printer in price so that he is obliged to use a 30-cent ink and by various other economies get his material ready for $6 a thousand. He will then pay the government $20 for carrying his stingy, badly-printed, cheap-looking $6 worth of stuff and pat himself on the back for being economical. Don't waste gray matter on your competitor. No matter how entertainingly he lies, you go right on telling the plain, blunt kind of truth that-mother-used-to-make. Truth can be made far more entertaining than falsehood. Don't be afraid to call a spade a spade. If the goods are shoddy advertise them as shoddy, give good shoddy measure, and charge shoddy prices. There are tens of thousands of people who prefer shoddy ; prefer to eat it, to wear it, to be entertained by it. If you have news to print about your store some call it advertising don't order twenty-three styles of type with whirligig borders and a crazy, badly-engraved picture. The mummer on New Year's Day or the clown at Barnum's may look funny, but he couldn't make good on the road selling gold watches. The advertiser has an idea that the more fool things he drags into his copy the more entertaining it is. The clown has the very same idea. The great thing in all advertising is not-quantity of circulation, but quality of your copy printed in a newspaper the readers of which are able to buy your goods.

The Saving Sense of Humor Each one of an affectionate coupk may be willing, as we say, to die for the other, yet unwilling to utter the agreeable word at the right moment; but if the wits were sufficiently quick for them to perceive that they are in a comic situation, as affectionate couples must be when they quarrel, they would not wait for the moon or the almanac, to bring back the floodtide of tender feelings, that they should join hands and lips.

He said that the plank In the platform contained four distinct' features of benefit to the laboring man which are not mentioned In the republican platform. Among these four points he dwelt principally upon the democratic demand for a labor commissioner in the president's cabinet, and the repeal of the Sherman antitrust law as far as it applies to organized labor, and the writ of injunction as applied toward unions.

Psychology of Dress. Dr. Thomas Claye Shaw of London, Bpeaking on the subject of the special psychology of women, says that there is a psychology in clothes. It is useless to say that they dress as they do to please other women or please men. They dress simply because they have to in their own way and to their own satisfaction. The psychology of dress is that it appears to make "you be what you profess to. be.
