A TRIO OF PINE SPECIMENS.
Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

Anna Gould, Whose Marriage Affairs; Are Again Being Aired
Three cases of shocking male depravity came to the attention of the Hammond police yesterday and it is remarkable that such examples of bestialty and brutality Bhould live in a civilized community. One drunken brute brought a companion home to revel-in his home while the dead body of his wife and 'mother of his children lay in another room, wept over by her five chldren. Another drunk spent his wages in drink and permitted his wife and children to starve while the third telephoned by a third party, a bartender and a floe specimen of humanity himself, that he had been struck by a railroad train and was fatally injured, if there is anything that is lower in this world than the man who deceives his wife, the woman whom he has sworn to love and cherish, it is the man who abuses and mistreats her. It is regrettable that there is not some punishment that can be inflicted on these male brutes, commensurate with the torture
they inflict on those with whom they come in contact. -The law fails somehow to reach them and in that it is weak. Physical punlshemnt is the only way fit to deal with them. They used to do these things better in days
gone by. The whipping post and tar and feathers, of course, belong to other days, but the creatures who used to be punished by means of them are still with us, mores the pity. Hammond is getting to be quite a wife-beating and wife-abusing factory. It happens so often that it would be hardly worth while to mention it were it not for the purpose of pointing to a moral. -. . ' WHY' SHOULDN'T THE PEOPLE KNOW?
There is much f usa and feathers being made at Washington over the facts that some defects are being discovered in some of the United States battleships and that the people are being hoodwinked ' whenever they look battleships' and that the people are being hoodwinked wheneper they look at the navy department. Some naval officers say that it is disloyal to say anything In public about the defects in our ships. 13 it? Is it then disloyal to tell the American people what other countries are probable secretly advised by their embassies over here? Why , should the American people not know the facts? Is It disloyal to tell these things to our own? Our naval officers know the facts, the foreign naval attaches know the facts, the general staff of every foreign navy department know them. The American people are getting to know them and they will know more of thm
as time goes on. The officers have been ordered not to talk. But the rec
ords are known. ,. - ' . THE SWORD OF DAMOCLES SUSPENDED.
THE DEATH Of YERKES. I want to read you a little sermon on the career and death of the late traction magnate! Charles T. Yerkes, He died at & fashionable hotel in New York, and while his body wis still warm it was hustled into a big wicker basket and to a freight elevator, to get it out of the way. His wife refused to see him on his deathbed. ' His son and daughter were estranged from him. No one but the nurse wag with him when he died. He was worth in money many millions. . .i When Yerkes died the cafes and rotundas of the Waldorf-Astoria were crowded with gay parties. The guests must not be shocked. What to do? The porters hastily filled a big laundry basket .with soiled linen. Yerkes' body was dumped in and stealthily dragged to the elevator. It was thus transferred to a back sample room to await the undertaker's wagon. So The funeral bier of this multimillionaire, art critic and connoisseur was a
laundry basket, he had for . a shroud soiled linen, and his temporary 6epul-
cher was a dumping room for refuse.
Afterward, of course, the body lay In
state in the Fifth avenue palace whence
he had tried to drive his wife. Nobody but the reporters and curiosity seekers
came. Neither wife nor child nor relative was in the funeral procession.
consisting of four cat.
Yerkes divorced the wife who had stood by him in the day of his trial. He married his stenographer, lured by
his desire for sensual beauty. Fascinated by a third woman, he was suing
the second wife for a divorce at the
time of his death.
He was a man of dominant power.
crafty intellect, a cold heart and an
aesthetic taste. Now
The old book says, "Whatever a man
soweth that also shall he reap," and if he "sows to the flesh he shall of the flesh reap corruption." Yerkes sowed to the flesh. He got what he bargained for. It Is idle to ask if such a man found happiness. Yerkes sold himself to the devil for the sake of power, place, pictures, passion. The devil does not pay in terms of human happiness. In the realm of happiness his currency is but counterfeit. You cannot walk to happiness, my brethren, by stepping on broken hearts and go. J dollars.

The Hunt case, pathetic beyond the power of the pen to really depict, is but another,, example of the long series of lessons that have been taught regarding the folly of thinking that crime will not right. There Is no one
in Hammond who is not sorry for D. B. Hunt and sorrier for his estimable family. He was a good husband and a kind father and a respected citizen
outside of the one fatal lapse which lead him to do wrong. The lesson

There are men who pose and prate of the sins of others and who are ready to assail others when they themselves live in glass houses, forgetful that one day their sin will find them out and strip the sham from their lives which has deceived people so long. The sword of Damocles is Buspended only by a thread! It is easy to cut the thread! THE WAGGISH JOE MILLER on the esteemed Gary Tribune will be the death of us with his scintillating quiddities.

Dr. Robert Koch, the world-renowned
discoverer of the bacillus of tubercu
losis, was born in Klausthal, Hanover
Dec. 11, 1843, and was educated at the
celebrated university at Gottlngen. Almost as soon as he had received his de
gree of M. D. he began the study of germs, and about 1880 he succeeded In identifying the germ of cattle diseases and of consumption. His remarkable
discoveries led to his being placed at the head of the German cholera commission, which visited Egypt and India, and while on this investigation he discovered the coma bacillus of cholera, receiving a reward of 160.000 narks

The much advertised pugilistic bat
tle between Dan Goodman and Frankie White was not pulled off In West Hammond last evening on account of
the opposition of some unknown person who went to Sheriff Strassheim's office
in Chicago and objected to the contest.
As a result. Deputy Sheriff John Mc
Lean of Chfcago Heights came to West Hammond yesterday afternoon and, after informing a crowd of 200 to 300 Chi
cago and Hammond fight farts that there would be nothing doing, he fol
lowed the crowd around to make sure that his orders would be carried out.
The trouble was all caused by the
jealousy of some person who was determined that the Goodman-White con
test should not come off in West Hammond last night. If the Cook county officials had not
been compelled to take cognizance of
the fact that a fight was to be held, it is not likely that there would have been any trouble, but. when a resident of the county registered a kick there was nothing left to do but to order the fight stopped. The report was circulated in Hammond early in the evening that the fight would not be held. However, when several of the local sports tele
phoned to West Hammond they were informed that the fight would surely be held and that the main bout would be put on at 7 o'clock. At 7 o'clock Columbia hall, in West Hammond, was filled with fight fans, fight promoters and newspaper men from Hammond and Chicago. In a little .while it became apparent that the fight would not be held at Columbia hall ahd in fact that, it would not be held at all, on account of the presence of Deputy Sheriff McLean. The crowd, however, had the idea that an effort would be made- to pull the bout off any way, and so it followed the fighters wherever they went. The crowd finally broke up and a majority of them went to Con Moor's place over on Plummer avenue. There they hung around and talked fight for a while, but it soon became apparent that there would be nothing doing, and the crowd gradually dispersed. In the crowd was Dr. Messasre. the
Chicago promoter of special trains to prize fights, and several other well known men of the. pugilistic world. It is fiot expected that the trouble last night will mean the end of the fighting game in West Hammond. It is expected that there will be a satisfactory settlement in the near future and the local sports will have an opportunity to see some good bouts.
FREEZE MIIIORS OUT Baseball Rebels Are Thrown Into Panic by Postponement. New York. Dec. 11. With a united front, the major leagues handed a solar plexus blow to the disgruntled faction of the minors yesterday an,d the American association and Eastern league foi the moment are hanging onto
the ropes. The American league magnates after a short session yesterday adjourned, but before they broke up President Johnson notified the committee from the belligerents that there was nothing doing for the present and the orphans retired to get their second wind. The National league, also, through its president, made it known that if any member of the baseball family wanted to kick up a fuss he could be accommodated. t - After the slipper had been applied, the two seceders saw the point of the
argument and agreed to postpone hostilities until a later date, which means Jan. 4. With the seeming rout of the minors came the declaration of Independence that, happen what may at the Cincinnati meeting, the revolutionists re out of the National associa
tion for good and all.
It is now up to the national commission to spread the salve where it will do the most good, but in the meantime there are three baseball organizations in the country, despite the apparent capitulation of O'Brien's and Powers' leagues.
W0LGAST AND ATTEL TONIGHT.
Los Angeles, Cal., Dec. 11. Ad Wolgast of Milwaukee, who meets Abe Attel tonight in a battle for the featherweight championship, has not made a great impression on the coast fans in his training, and he will be a short ender In the betting.
In fact many wagers have been post
ed that he will not stay the limit, for
the little fellow from the Cream City has shown a lack of system in his preliminary work, while Attel has been working out in his usual thorough style. Both fighters claim they are In great condition, and they will weigh in at noon today. "The two boxers are fighting for more than the championship and the purse Involved, for the winner will be offered a contest with Jem Drlscoll, the latest and, from his recent showing, the best Eniglish lightweight to arrive in this country. Promoters out there already are after him. The matchmaker of the Pacific A. C. Is at present In communication with Drlscoll and has made him a good offer to come west.
0T00LE-M0RAN BOUT A DRAW.
Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 11. From the short end of a close decision. Tommy O'Toole made such a good sixth round finish In his bout with Owen Moran before the National A. C. last night that he was entitled to a good draw. When O'Toole stepped from hia corner In the sixth he was beaten, but by such a slight margin that one or two good blows were all that was necessary to bring him back on an even plane with his opponent. Tommy surprised the crowd by doing -his most aggressive work In the last three minutes.
