Gary Union Will Endeavor to Eclipse Event of Last Year.
Ellis are now out for the carpen
ters' big masquerade ball, which will
be given by the Gary local Jan. 13. About one hundred prizes have been
donated by the merchants and business men of the city and consequently there
are enough for every kind of a cos turae for both men and women.
The ball this year is the second annual affair of its kind. Last year the great mask ball of the carpenters was
held in the Einzenhof hall and was the
most largely attended affair of the
year. This year it will be held in assembly hall because of its larger size.
Captain II. S. Norton heads the list
of donators for the ball. He offers $5
in gold for the best dressed man and for the best dressed woman, and he also offers half that amount for the
second best dressed man and the sec ond best dressed woman.
The soliciting- committee has been
busy getting the splendid list of prizes ready to induce the public to come out and try for them. The ball this year is expected to be much larger in every way than that of the first year. The carpenters' local at Gary is also one of the largest in the
cotfnty.

IN MEMORIAM Of EDGAR ALLAN POE on the centenary of his birth
Edgar Allen Poe was born in Boston on Jan. 19, 1809, and died in Balti
more, Oct. 7, 1S49.
His father was David Poe, a shiftless and little gifted actor, his mother
a beautiful English actress, named Elizabeth Arnold.
Several years later poth parents died within a few weeks of each other
leaving three children, of whom Edgar was the second.
Edgar, then a handsome and bright boy, was adopted by John Allan, a
wealthy merchant of Richmond, Va., whose wife had taken a great fancy
for the child.
Poe was sent to a school at Stoke Newington, England, for five or six
years and then entered the University of Virginia, but was removed on ac
count of his gambling habit, by Mr. Allan.
At the age of 18 Poe went to Boston, where he published his first volume
of poems. Shortly afterwards he enlisted In a battery of artillery, from
which he was granted a discharge through the inuence of Mr. Allan.
Through the influence of his foster parents he was enabled to enter West
Point on July 1, 1S30. On March 1S31 he was dismissed by court martial, for gross violations of the regulations. This caused Mr. Allan to abandon
Poe to his fate.
Poe republished his poems and tried to earn a living by literary work,
but failed owing to his Intemperate habits. He enlisted again as a private
In the army, but was discharged, after he had been recognized by several
young officers.
In -833 the Baltimore Saturday Visitor offered two prizes of $100 each for
a story and a poem, and Poe won both. With this success began his career as editor and contributor to magazines. He found employment on several maga
zines in Richmond, Philadelphia and New York and contributed to them
large number of poems, stories, essays and criticisms.
The products of his genius were not appreciated by his contemporaries
land his erratic disposition and Intemperate habits compelled him to make
frequent changes of position.
In 1838 he married Virginia Clemm. then only 13 years of age, who died on
Jan. 30, 1847. With her died the good angel of Pope who was passionately
devoted to her.
After the detta f his wife, who had been an invalid nearly all her life.
Poe became even more erratic In his work and his habits than before and
only the friendship of several women, who were greatly devoted to him, kept
hiim from sinking still lower. Death surprised him while he was in Bal
timore.

If the diminution of weight continue, the member may have to withdraw, but the 500-pounder. should he put on flesh, would be entitled to special consideration should he fall upon evil days and sink below the statutory weight, which, by the way, is about two-thirds that attained by Daniel Lambert.

Fame Born of Cookery. The naming of dishes for those who have attained a success known to all the world, in artistic or professional lines, is an honor of no mean place in a list of edibles and the names are happily met. If a dish is fine enough and has sufficient distinction to be the namesake of a great singer or actress, its reputation may endure for more than a generation. Long after the singer and her songs have ceased to delight us our menus will bear the legends, "Melba tarts" and "Melba peaches."
