In the ease of Gary, however, renditions were so unusual, as a resr.it of the rapid building of the rity. that the dioee.se made an exreption ami the Gary elmreti was admitted as a parish, with all the rights of a parish and will be irovet'iied directly by the M.-ihop in
stead of by an officer of the diocese. Great ( ourejotioii Ma;!e. Never before in the history of the church has t 'i e diocese made "such a concession as was madi to the deleBates from the Gary church. The church will now have a regularly ordained rector, a vestry and tne other things that are permitted in a parish. There, will be a ratification meeting he?" in the Gary Kpiscopal church in the near future, and other arrangements made for the organization of the church under the new order of tilings. The delegates fom Gary did not stay during the entire meeting of the diocese, but went back to Gary and conveyed the pood news to the other members of the congregation.
The killing of Edward AV. Carmack in a street of Nashville, Tenn., on Monday last was done by Uobln Cooper and his father. Col. Duncan Cooper. The murder was the result of enmity in politics.

The confession of Chester Nourish, the Chicago man, who stole the horse and buggy belonging to the Skeeles livery, at 5123 State street, and drove out to Gary the same, night, was obtained by Chief of Police Martin yesterday afternoon after nearly 5 three hours' examination. Noorish is married and lives at 4300 Emerald avenue, Chicago. The young
man. who is .1 years old. told Chief
Martin that he had been out of work for some time and had met some com
panions on Tuesday night and he had gotten intoxicated. "I saw the 'horse and buggy standing on State street." said Xoorish, "and not thinking what I was doing. I got i-nto the rig and drove away. At South Chicago 1 saw two men who were walking towards Hammond and I offered them a ride. They are in no way implicated at all." Prisoner Taken to Chicago. Officer John O'Conner of the Sixth precinct station, came out from Chicago this morning and took Noorish

(Special to The Times.) Miller, Ind., Nov. 12. Tonight at Miller the meeting of the own board will be held, and the prevailing question is whether of not Gustave Anderson, the surviving member of the original town board will retain his position and fight his case out in the court or resign. Gus Anderson has stoutly maintained his innocence through the
i controversy, and it may be that he will fight the rase 1st the court. The meeting tonight is likely to prove
full of interest. Not only arp there many matters of importance to come up before the board, but it is likely that th old trouble with the- former trustees will be continued. It is likely that the old members of the town board will be present in addition to the ones whose petition caused them to be depose'd. A conflict is not improbable and the outcome will be interesting. The ex-town board members are threatening nearly all of the more prominent citizens who have taken ac
tion against them. They say that they have the "goods" on them and they are hound to get fven. In the matter of franchises, it is not known what the the attitude of the own board is, but it is thought that some of the capial which became interested in Miller lias backed out of the investment because of the attitude of the trustees towards
he local franchise seekers. They will be given a test, however, and it is be
lieved that they will do the right
thing.

Crown roint, Ind., Nov. 12. The exclusive announcement in the columns
of The Times that friends of ex-SenatorJ
Johannes Kopelke were booming his candidacy for the United States senate to succeed Hon. James A. Hemenway, has made a hit among Lake county democrats and Mr. Kopelke. has received scores of congratulations from
out-of-town friends. Members of the, Hammond Business Men's association called Mr. Kopelke up by telephone and promised to do all in their power for the Crown Point lawyer should his candidacy pass the receptive stage.
Not only democrats but republicans have sent their congratulations to Mr.
Kopelke. The story that he would be a candidate appeared yesterday in the Indianapolis" papers and other papers over the state 'are taking up the matter. Judge Kopelke has been approached by a ' number of Indiana democrats in regard to his candidacy, but he refuses to begin an active canvass, declaring it is too early yet. Mr. Kopelke's friends and boomers realize that the Kern candidacy leads at present, but they say that there may be

his trial. .ic :hn and Jesse Morris of Michigan City, who were arrested with Noorish yesterday morning, were released by Chief of Police Martin this morning. Harry Skeeles, proprietor of the livery at o12:$ State street, arrived in Gary this morning to take his horse back to Chicago. He complimented Chief Martin and his officers very highly on their work of capturing Noorish. Although the horse had been driven over fifty miles on Tuesday, it showed no ill effects when it was driven out of the barn this morning.
Yesterday afternoon at the Jefferson schol in Gary there was a meeting of the mothers of the 'children who attend the kindergarten. The meeting was held for the purpose of organizing a Mothers' club in Gary and promoting interest . between the parents, the teachers and the children in their work among " the little ones. . i The meeting yesterday afternoon was largely attended and provod to be very interesting. The meeting was ad
dressed by Miss Anna Koppel, who is at the head of the kindergarten
work in Gary, and Miss Helen Mattern
assistant. Both young ladies who are
well versed in kindergarten work, told of the benefits derived by the organization of the mothers' club and the assistance they may lend to the children who are attending school. '"The purpose of the mothers' club," said Miss Koppel, "is to promote an interest in school work between the parents and the children. These clubs in other I cities have done so much good and
their is no reason why much benefit may be derive dfrom this organization in Gary." Meetings will be held every month in the Jefferson school and arrangements will be made later on to give a series of entertainments.
Science and Food Frauds. It has been for many years notorious that modern chemistry has been prostituted to the service of adulteration. May not an appeal be made to the more conscientious professors of one of the greatest modern sciences, and may they not be asked to bring their learning and their proficiency into the field for the assistance of honesty and fair dealing? London Times.
Since the closing of some of the saloons in Gary the blind pigs have ber gun to spring up throughout the foreign district of the city, until now, according to Chief Joseph Martin, conditions ae the worst they have ever been in the eity. There are still enough saloons inHhe south end to supply the demand, but whenever one of the favorites of these foreigners drops out of business, instead of patronizing the remaining saloons they buy brer from their boarding bosses, who then violate the "blind
tiger" law. These boarding boss salloons, operating without a license, have sprung up like mushrooms and Chief Martin ia determined to wipe them out. For the past few days the police have been kept busy trying to secure evidence against the boarding bosses, but the men are so clannish that they find it difficult to do so. Once in a while, however, a man becomes angry at his fellow countrymen and will give the remainder' away. Wholesale Raid Planned.

One of the first ordinances that will be drawn up by the town boards in the near future will be the one against expectorating on sidewalks and other public places in Gary. 1 The members of the board have seen the necessity in the new ordinanca when ttie matter was brought up for discussion at the last meeting, it being, it being introduced by Town Trustee M. A. Caldwell. Not only will the ordinance be pased by the board but will be r'gidly enforced as well. A trip down Broadway, Gary's main thoroughfare, will only convince a person of the unsanitary condition of the loril siflewulka Tt ia oe o o -,.

Shore, railway. There are also a number of saloons whose licenses have ex
pired and who are still keeping their places open as soft drink emporiums that are likely to come under the ban of the impending raid. They ' are known to be disposing of liquor to their trusted customers, and the names of most of them have been learned by the police. Although the offense for the operation of the blind pig is small at first, the second or third offense is serious. Some of the boarding bosses have already been arrested once or twice for this offense and if the work is continued they are doomed to be sent to the penitentiary. ,
Columbus, Dead. The history of Columbus' bones is about as checkered as that of his life. His remains, after burial at Valladolid, Spain, were removed to Seville. In 1536 they were taken with great pomp to Santo Domingo and interred in the cathedral. In 1796 what were supposed to be his ashes were again removed to the cathedral of Havana and buried there with imposing ceremonies.
the subject was introduced by a Times' reporter. "I have been in many towns and cities in my life time but I never saw one where the conditions were worse than they are In Gary. Walk along the street at any time of the night or day and you will see the sidewalks besmirched from one end to the other. It not only speaks bad for a town, but shows lax conditions. Nobody is to blame in particular, it is just because the people are not educated and do not think enough about it to walk to the edge of the sidewalk and expectorate in the street." Foreigners Are Vort Offenders. The cause of the greatest pari of the unsanitary condition of the sidewalks is because of the foreign elenrfnt in Gary, who are Ignorant of the fact that thousands of disease germs are carried in this way. It would oniy be a matter of a short space of time until they would become familiar with the law if the ordinance was only passed and enforced in Gary. The matter was discussed at length by a number of business men gathered this morning and all expressed themselves and said the sooner the tc vn board passed the ordinance and put it into force the better would it be for the health of the citizens, as well as the appearance of the sidewalks of Gary.
