This will be news to a lot of nice old gentlemen who have been grand Jurors since Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. We shall all look forward eagerly to the time when in Lake county some judge may investigate the remarkable ill fortune that attends these nice old gentlemen who are being perpetually called upon to do jury duty. THE ILLNESS. OF Mayor Lawrence Becker of Hammond which has caused him to submit to an operation in St Margarets hospital, is giving his friends hereabouts much concern and the hope is genuinely expressed that he may recover speedily from the ailment" which has aggravated him and his family for several months. Besides being the city's chief executive Mr. Becker is well known all over the state as one of the leaders in the democratic party and his recovery will be warmly welcomed. F. RICHARD SCHAAF, who retires from the executive head of the Indiana Township Trustees association, with the expiration of a creditable and well-rounded term of years in the trustee's office, is succeeded by John C. Becker, who has already been honored by being made secretary of the state association even before he has been inducted into office Mr. Becker has already given evidence that the office of trustee will again be in safe hands and Hammond is to be congratulated on the good advertising Mr. Becker is already bringing to the city..

Now they leave that sort of language to their more ardent critics.

JNO. PASCALY The Tailor "What is the secret of your success?" said the writer to Alderman Pascaly, "Hard work," said he without a moment's hesitation. "You are in here frequently, don't you always find me busy ?" The writer could not deny this, for Mr. Pascaly "is always at his cutting table during business hours and from the work and the looks of the woolens piled up on the tables. Xo one can doubt that he is making his industry count. Mr. Pascaly is a good tailor too. He understands the merchant tailoring business from a to z, he seldom has a misfit and it is said that the suits made by him often look well for an entire year. But he is not only a good tailor but he is a good 'all-around business man and the advice and assistances he renders his friends and acquaintances is often worth as much or more than that of the paid attorney. It is not necessary to speak of the character of this man for honesty and integrity. The fact that he is one of the city fathers naturally indicates that he is held in high esteem by his neighbors and that. is about the best testimonial a man can have.

I The "Colonial" is takine a very prominent part in the festivities of onr own times, being much in demand for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and fete days always a most appropriate selection!
