Coroner E. R. Gordon of Hobart was In Gary yesterday on professional business. Dr. Gordon performed an operation on a patient at the Mercy hospital. The first show of the hypnotist, Professor Peering, was held last night In the Blnzenhof halL A- small crowd was present. During the afternoon, a woman was hypnotised and placed in the show window of Sax & Savage, at the corner of Sixth avenue and Broadway. A curious throng watched her during the afternoon, both Inside and outside of the store.
The Inter-Puella club held one of its series of dances last night in Assembly hall and the affair was largely
attended considering the weather. The dance was the most successful that
they have given.
The present weather will delay the
starting of the city hall, which was to have begun at once, and Gallagher
& Williams will receive something of a setback unless It gets considerably warmer. The excavations have been
made, so that any time that the con
tractors see fit they will be enabled
to start work on the foundation. The
contract to be drawn up by the city attorney will be submitted at the next
meelng of the town board.
Julius Dunslng of Hammond was -in
Gary yesterday on business.
The Hammnd men employed in Gary until a late hour last night were se
riously inconvenienced by the fact that the power was off on the Hammond, Whiting & East Chicago line. Many ofHhem take the car from East Chicago
to Hammond Instead of going right
through to that city on the Gary line.
J. L. Keistermeier of Buffalo, N. Y

Gary hotel last evening to make addi
tional arrangements for the banquet and ball, which are to be given on

Looks After Interests.
Dr. C. H. Long, one of the stock
holders in the new Majestic theater of Gary, was here yesterday afternoon looking after his interests. Dr. Long visited the theater building and ex
pressed himself pleased with the progress made by oCntractor Joseph Frost.
Unless something unexpected happens
the building will be ready for the
opening night, March 1st.
HEARD BY RUBE ..Those Garyites'who failed to hear the illustrious William Jennings Bryan on that eventful Oct. 31st, last year, might take a trip to Valparaiso on Saturday evening. It seems that the weather man Is playing an awful fareless game for February. '
The amount of housework a girl does to help her mother is not always, however in ratio to the size of her pompadour. Now that Gary has joined the trolley baseball league it is generally supposed that there will be a general limbering up of arms as soon as the
first real spring day shows up.
A cut may look at a king and a
$7 clerk may price a $4,000 automobile, but he doesn't tell the salesman
to wrap it up for him.
Anxious Inquirer The sand fleas of
the Hot Sands club of Gary are no relation to those that have been suggusted as grounds for a public nuisance.
Cigars are now divided into three
kinds; viz, cigars, 5-cent cigars and the
kind that people hand you when they are candidates for office.
The blizzard the other night passed
Gary by and handed its sister city of
Tolleston a few hard Jolts.
Even though the session of the leg
islature is only half over, the new
members have concluded that a steady Job of the every day life at home is a good deal more congenial than
statesmanship.
The Michigan Central railroad is
now installing their gates on Broadway, but they haven't hurt themselves very badly In the way of supplying
Gary with a depot.

A gentleman in the "West 'Indios was agreeably surprised the other day to find a plump turkey served up for din-s ner, and inquired of the black servant, kow It was obtained. "Why, sir," said Sambo, "dat turkey, has been roosting on our fence three nights, so this morning I seize him for de rent of de fence." Tit-Bits.
Many Attend Dance,
A large crowd attended the Inter-
Puella dance given at Assembly hall
last night and all report a delight
ful time. The music was furnished
by Blgelow's orchestra. One of the
-novel features of the evening was the
moonlight dance In which the lights
of the hall were turned and those
present were given the opportunity to
dance by candle light.

which the schedules of games, rules

The teams represented at the meeting
were:

E. Monshlen and It. Hoffman.
The only representative invited to be
present who was not there was the Hammond representative, but that city will be asked to Join the league if she
so desires. Everything was accomplished at th meeting that they expected and th
date set for the final organization
It Is expected that on March 14th th eight teams will be launched, th
stockholders announced and contract
from various players will be secured
This will be the starting of the first league team In Lake county providing
nothing intervenes.
As to ball parks in Hammond and Gary, Mr. Mullen refused to say where
they would be located, but stated that
they had several desirable deals un
der way in which they hoped to se cure a suitable location. This at presen
Is the only drawback in putting
league team in both of these cities
In Gary the price of property in th
desirable localities is so high that
cannot be secured, and in Hammond
there Is only one park and that Is so far from the outskirts of the city that it was never well patronized. Mr. Mullen eays he has something up his sleeve, however, which he will spring in a few days.

WATCH FOR THE CROOKS!
How "Regulation Letter
Box" Agents Trick the People.
(Special to Tiib Times.) Indiana Harbor, Ind., Feb. 11. Be
ware of the fake government repre
sentative who wants to sell you a reg
ulation letter box. Such is the warning that has been displayed around
the Harbor since the announcement that this city is to be granted free
postal delivery on March loth. And the warning is a valuable one. The method of the fake agents' operations seems so
real that unless the prospective purchaser had been forewarned almost
double the price of the letter-box would
be paid. The "agent" usually approaches a house in which he believes a large quantity of iftall would be received, although his labors are not confined entirely to these. Taking from his pocket a card, reading "Washington, D. C, he proclaims himself an agent of the government with "official" mall boxes. The prices on these are usually boosted sufficiently to allow the "agent" a good profit and It would pay the housewife to carefully investigate the prices at local hardware stores before dealing with the government agents. Before mall can be delivered at any house it is necessary to have the house properly numbered. These numbers may be obtained at any real estate office and Harborltes should feel
enough Interest in the rapid advance
ment being made in the postal service
of their city to have this small matter attended to at once. There are still a few streets on which sidewalks
are not in the best of condition, and
present plans of the department includes in the Harbor delivery territory
that district bounded on the eaat by Deal street and oa the south by One
Hundred and Fortieth street.
