Show Comes to Hammond From
South Bend and Goes to Kalamazoo This Morning.
THE REVIVAL TO CONTINUE.
Such deep Interest was shown in the
revivial meeting at the Methodist
church yesterday that it was decided
to continue another week. The ser
mons by Miss Josephine Nichols, morn
ing and evening, were heard by great audiences and most intensely enjoyed. The fact that Miss Nichols is free from
exaggerations or mental peculiarities,
makes it evident that just the honest
presentatio nof truth and the appeal to human need and to do what is noble In
the sight of God and man shows the
gospel of Jeus Christ to be the great
est message that can be spoken to men
The young ladles' meeting, led by Miss
Nichols, was enthusiastically support ed. The young men's meeting, ad
dress by W. C. Belman, L. V. Cravens
C. L. Surprise and Professor A. G. Deaver developed intense Interest,
Eleven persons were added to th
church during the day. Miss Nichols

The Time, Place and Girl came to
Hammond last evening and made a
great hit. The play was greeted by
good house, and Manager D. M. Nye
was very much pleased with the recep
tion the public gave this first-class
production.
One of the noticeable thing3 about
the crowd was the fact that it was
composed of people from East Chicago,
"Whiting, Indiana Harbor and South
Chicago. This Is just the end that Mr.
Nye is working for. To convince the
people of this region that if they will patronize his house he will provide
them with as good attractions as can
be' found in many of the Chicago the aters.
The Time, Place and Girl was full
of clean, wholesome, humor and the
comedy furnished by John E. Young, In the role of "Happy" Johnny Hicks, and E. Colt Albertson. as Tom Cun
ningham, who played the part of a gambler and a rich man's son, respectively, was of the highest order.
Chorus Make lUt. The chorus was composed of as pret
ty girls as have been seen in a chorus
in Hammoad, and the song hits, while a little threadbare from long use, were
nevertheless well received. Manager Nye stated this morning
that the balcony and the gallery were all sold out, and there were only a few seats on the main floor. The fact may not be generally known that the seats sold at Towle's Opera House for $1 on the main floor when this attraction will not appear anywhere else far less than a dollar and a half. The show came to Hammond from South Bend, and left this morning for Kalamazoo. Of course, the old-time song hits, such as "Blow the Smoke Away" and "Its Lonesome Tonight," brought down the house. The costumes worn by the show girls
were fresh and bright, considering the fact that the show has been on the road for a great many years, and It must be said that if any of those who
went expected to see some worn-out shoddy costumes Just because the show is an old one, they were agreeably dis
appointed.

Washington, March 1. A significant
silence is maintained at the White
House and by William Phillips regard
ing his engagement to Miss Ethel
Roosevelt, the debutante daughter of
the president. The same silence was
maintained when Miss Alice Roosevelt was reported engaged to Representa
tive Nicholas Longworth, whom she af
terwards married. It was strenuously denied, however, by friends of the young couple, but they were married
Just the same. Several friendly de
nials were current today, but the knowing still assert that there does exist an understanding, if not a formal engagement, between Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Phillips. One of these denials is reported to have been made by Mrs. John C. Phillips, the mdther of Mr. Phillips. She declares that she has heard nothing of the engagement and says that as far as she knows it is absolutely without foundation. "We are good friends of Miss Roosevelt, of
course," she said. - "The families are friends, but so far as there being any engagement between Miss Roosevelt and Mr. Phillips you may print a prompt denial." Mr. Phillips has been

SGHULTE PASSES AWAY
Are the cities of Hammond, Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor ready for amalgamation? The movement has been given great impetus since Gary has assumed such a belligerent attitude towards all of the other
cities of the county, and it is expected that at the meeting to be held under the auspices of the Mens' clubs of the cities affected, in the clubrooms of the Hammond Athletic club in Hammond, Wedneday night, the first great movement will have been started which may eventually lead to the action on the part of the people of the three cities affected and make the coming city the greatest city In northwestern Indiana. The subject, which will be discussed at the meeting tomorrow night, is one of absorbing interest. The idea of hav
ing one great city with one municipal government, one set of city officials, one fire and police board, one boulevard and park system, one water system with a tunnel into the lake to clear water, one great harbor, one sewer system, and then to feel the result
ant lowering of taxes which will result
from such economy is what practically all 'of the residents of the three cities
are hoping and praying will be the outcome of the present movement. Many To Talk. "Should the cities of Hammond,
Whiting, East Chicago and Indiana Harbor unite as one city. If so, should they do it now?" is the great question that will be discussed. Over fifty people from the above-mentioned cities will be present and many of them will participate in the discussion.
It has been said that there is every reason for the amalgamation except that certain politicians will lose their Jobs. But the mayors of the cities affected have been invited to speak, and it is expected that even they will rise above the sordid self-interest in the matter and urge amalgamation. The committee from the Mens' clubs of the cities which to compose the proposed amalgamation have selected a lot of speakers who are likely to present all sides of the subject.
Among those who will speak are Mayor Becker, John E. Fitzgerald, John Smalley, John Gavit and Dr. Howat, representing Hammond; Mayor Edward De Briae, George W. Lewis, J. D. Kennedy and T. M. C. Hembroff, representing Indiana Harbor and East Chicago; and Mayor Fred Smith and Frank
Gavit and others. The meeting will be called to order at S o'clock. Those
who are not members of the various
men's clubs will have to call up F. I
Ellick and make arrangements to se
cure tickets of admission.

HEW TERM Oil MONDAY
The Lake superior court room was
crowded this morning with attorneys from all over Lake county. The work
of the past week was taken up and the settings of the last week will be followed this week. This morning was devoted to a mo
tion hour, and from present indications next week will be a busy one. The new term will begin without intermission next Monday, March 8. The work has been piling up on the court during the recent court fight, and it will take some time before the wheels of justice will be moving as steadily and as speedily as they were before the interruption.
GERMAN EDITOR HERE
Editor Henry Barck of the Crown Point Freie Presse, the only German paper in the tenth district, was In Hammond today on business. Mr. Barck's paper, which is a cracking good newspaper, occupies a unique field as it is the only surviving German newspaper in the field. Hammond and Michigan City both had in the past thriving German newspapers but they succumbed, leaving the Freie Presse
the only paper in the field. Editor
Barck has built up a splendid German
newspaper and it is full of correspondence and valuable news features. He
reports a subscription list a

sides on the successful ending of his business career and on the occasion of his sixty -seventh birthday. Should Be an Inspiration. Mr. Hammond's career in Hammond is an inspiration to the younger gen
eration. He came to this city when it j was nothing more than a village and i when no one ever dreamed that this desolate waste of sand would ever be the great municipality it Is today. He began business here by utilizing the by-products of the G. II. Hammond company, then in its infancy, long before It had been absorbed by the trust. He bought casing and trips and manufactured them into saleable provisions. Mr. Hammond was the man who first demonstrated the fact that
tripe is edible and that it nas many ingredients which greatly aid digestion. He finally became assistant superintendent of the G. II. Hammond com
pany under superintendent rogg ana later under Superintendent K. H. Bell, i In 1SS8 he and Fogg opened what was : known as Fogg and Hammond's first and second additions to Hammond, which has since become very valuable. The land was located east of Hammond, along State street, Plummer avenue and Sibley street. Mr. Hammond was elected to congress in 1S92 for one term. He is one of the few democratic congressmen who have been elected from this district and he was a credit to the city.
He was elected mayor of Hammond in 1SS7 and after that served three terms of two years each. He ran against M. M. Towle, John W. Dyer and W. H. Gostlin and defeated them all. His last majority was 300. When Patrick Reilley was elected mayor of Hammond the demoe-ats urged Thomas Hammond, as a matter of civic duty, to become a candidate for councilman in his ward.
Proud of Civic Duty. Notwithstanding the fact that Mr. ' Hammond had been given the highest' honors that are at the dispoal of the party in this district, he felt it his patriotic duty to the city with which he' had been so closely Identified, to do all 1 that he could for its advancement and . he served as councilman for four years, i There are few of the people who now ( compose the city of Hammond who ; realize how much it meant to the young ( growing city of Hammond to have a man of Mr. Hammond's high character! and business ability to take such an In-
test in its affairs. His retirement at this time from active participation In the business and political affairs of
little I Hammond will be a source of regret j
